You are cordially invited to visit and inspect the offices of The Empire Savings & Loan Company, which have been temporarily opened in their building at 2316 East 55th street, pending the erection of their permanent home on the same site. THE EMPIRE SAVINGS & LOAN COMPANY is an institution for SAVINGS. It will make loans to home-buyers. It will build upon vacant lots, or improve buildings already erected. SAVINGS ACCOUNTS OPENED WITH US WILL DRAW A DOUBLE INTEREST: 5% interest on amount deposited, and the personal, sympathetic interest of the officers and directors. THE EMPIRE SAVINGS & LOAN COMPANY is incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio, and its affairs are subject to State inspection. The rigid laws of Ohio so safeguard stockholders and depositors in savings and loan companies, until as a result not one of these companies has failed since the state assumed supervision of them. The officers and directors are personally liable to the stockholders for any mismanagement, and, as a double security, each officer, as required by law, is heavily bonded. THE MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF THE EMPIRE SAVINGS & LOAN COMPANY will be under the direct supervision of the following officers and directors, who are all citizens of Cleveland, and have proved their worth and character in the community: IN UNION 16 STRENGTH THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR "JIM Of The U.

THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR No.28. A Kentucky State Law Cannot Be Enforced in Ohio Or Any Other State Unless Acceptable. The U. S. Supreme Court declared by a recent decision that it was lawful for the authorities of Kentucky to maintain a "jim-crow" car accommodation for colored people in going from Cincinnati to Covington, Ky. Upon what basis this decision was rendered we have not as yet read but we do know that it is a rank decision that should have no place in our American life. The "jim-crow" car law is a device whereby white people may extort from colored people any amount of money they please for public accommodation, but may give them any kind of service whites desire. In other words, it is tantamount to saying to white people that you are the judges of what shall be given to colored people and when you decide, the courts of the nation stand behind you to enforce obedience on the part of the colored people. The history of "jim-crowism" has been one of oppression for colored people. The fact that white people choose to separate the race, is prima facie evidence that it is their intention to do violence to the rights of colored people. The harring of colored people from the confessor of travel and the lavishing then white people every convenience known to our advanced standards of travel, is the most damnable crime in our American life. We are not learned in the law, but we do know what is just and fair. It is our opinion that there is no law anywhere that H. E. MURRELL, Pres.

Like the Dred Scott decision, this decision is subversive of the fundamentals that make this nation one and also insure it a permanency among nations because of its absolute justice toward all of its citizens. Segregation and "jim-crowism" are based upon the principle, that white people are entitled to enjoy rights and privileges colored people should not have even though it is their right to have them. This is a travesty on justice. The Supreme Court and all others may as well recognize now as later that all American citizens have the same and identical rights under the law when it comes to the privileges guaranteed to her citizens. By this decision any state can or may separate in public carriers, etc. German and Irish-Americans from other citizens. Or any state may say an Irish or German-American cannot ride in the same coach with an Englishman or Frenchman in America. There is no end to this vicious circle. Such decisions do not make safe and same America. Such decisions do not cement Americans in one unit that is willing to die for America, whenever she is attacked. What we object to most is this—it places colored people at the mercy of a set of whites that is wholly unfit as well as incapable of doing justice by them. Second, it establishes the idea that colored people are not citizens but are wards that are to be treated as their human (?) masters wish. We expect to live to see this very unjust decision reversed. In spite of Supreme Court decisions, the colored people of America are determined to enjoy full American rights and privileges. If we must fight for them, then we shall fight! (Rcv.) W. A. BYRD.

Littler superintendent of schools, Roscoe O. Bruce, in charge of our local schools, opened fire upon his enemies before the U. S. Senate investigating subcommittee, recently. "The superintendent was never meant to be a clerk," said Prot. Bruce. "I am held responsible by the colored community of the city for many things, but have very little authority." He also charged that the present District Commissioners had failed to include in their estimates a single dollar for the improvement of our school buildings and grounds for the year 1918, while they gave $200,000 for the white schools. He said that this was a violation of the spirit of the Congressional statute in providing for the amortitionment of school money ac- During the Opening of Savings & Buildig at 2316 East St, 1920, from act the offices of The last 55th street, pending the It will make loans to home-buyers.

Bruce. The assistant superintendent advocated a separation of our schools from the white altogether, with a separate administrative and teaching staff. "The dual system is the price that the American people have elected to pay for prejudice against the colored race," said Prof. Bruce. "This segregation is felt by those, who know the implications of democracy, to impair the standing of colored people, but under the circumstances, if we must have the dual system, the colored schools ought to be entirely separated from the white. This is more than a measure of equity; it is good sound policy." With racasan, he said, "Of course, the dual system in Washington is no greater price to pay in added taxation than the 'jim crow' car system of the South." Prof. Bryce devoted the larger part of his testimony to a legal analysis of the Status of our schools under various administrations since the civil war. Even you, Mr. Editor, and all of your radicalism would have applauded Supt. Bruce before the Senate committee through five hours of testimony, in which he plead the Negro's cause, portrayed his suffering, and even criticized the separate school system. It was a work of scholarship and fine race spirit. He asked for a million dollars, in addition to what is estimated, for this year for the colored schools. NEVAL R. THOMAS. CONGRATULATIONS!

SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1920 The next President of the United States? Why, Warren G. Harding, of course. "The Old Reliable" Gazette, "stemmed the tide" in Ohio and turned it back the other way. It's exposes of Tyler and his "ily-white" story went far to do the work, too. The following telegram was sent to Senator Harding, early Wednesday morning, by the editor of The Gazette: "Regardless of the plurality, sincerest congratulations on your great victory over the lavish use of money, and treachery, too." This Harding-Wood contest will result in a political "house-cleaning" in this state, in the next year or two, that will eliminate many from active participation in the Republican party's affair of Ohio for years to come. Mark our prediction. It will be a political blessing, too. The Davis administration certainly did not help Senator Harding in this city and county. A fine (?) outlook for Mayor Harry L. Davis' candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio. His refusal for four years, and more, to appoint even one Afro-American to a clerkship in Cleveland's city hall is not going to help him, either. Loyal members of the race—pass the word all down the line, "for the good and welfare" of the race. NOT TOO PROUD TO FIGHT. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson condemned the administration of France as militaristic, and, apparently encouraged by this antagonistic expression, Germans moved armed forces into forbidden territory. Believing that Heaven helps those who help themselves, the French promptly took measures to enforce fulfillment of treaty agreements. And France did wisely. She suffered once from the German contempt for "scraps of paper", and she cannot be expected to tolerate another violation of agreement from the same source. Neither can she expect co-operation from a sovereign who proclaimed himself "too proud to fight" and in favor of "peace without victory." A decision, many years ago, by the U. S. Supreme Court, made it plain that the various states of the Union had the right to enact "jim crow" car laws for their own commonwealths, but no state law of that kind is effective in any state that has no such law, newspaper correspondents to the contrary notwithstanding. Ohio will not permit Kentucky or any other southern state to enforce its "jim crow" law in this state, much as the contemptible South and the Wilson administration would like to see it done. We here and now call upon Gov. James M. Cox to see to it that the railroad department of the state administration bars from Ohio soil the "jim crow" cars of the Cincinnati, Covington and Erlanger Railroad Co., the South Covington and Cincinnati and all other railroad companies. SENATOR WARREN G. HARDING. Thru a campaign of villification and abuse, intensified immeasurably by the free and lavish use of large sums of money in the interest of a candidate from another state, Senator Harding has come a WINNER by a plurality that shows beyond the shadow of a doubt that Afro-American Republicans of Ohio proved "the saving grace." "Twas ever thus. They have saved the Republican party in many local, state and national campaigns and will do so again, whenever necessary, as long as southern democracy dominates the Democratic party and that national organization stands out in the very forefront as an unrelentless enemy of our race. Now brethren in the South, take note of the fact that of all the candidates for the Republican nomination for President, Senator Warren G. Harding is the only one that has consistently, thrust his life, not only shown friendship for the race but has PROVED it time and again as the result of ACTION! Throw the weight of your support to him now and when you reach Chicago to attend the National Convention, next month. Let us have a President, next time, that will be unlike any we have had for many, many years—one in whom we can place the fullest confidence and then not awake later on only to find that we have again been betrayed "in the house of our friends." Such a President, Warren G. Harding will surely make. HARRY C. SMITH. The responsibility of putting this government on a sane and safe basis is upon the Republican party. The man chosen for president will have much to do with carrying out this mandate from the people. Many good men are running for the presidency, and doubtless all of the Republican aspirants would be an improvement upon the present incumbent at Washington, but it is necessary to have MORE than an improvement. We must have a constructive safe genius to pilate the nation. The colored voters are intensely interested in the next president. No southern man, either in the north or in the south, is fit to be the President of this country. The south by its traditions is an unoffiter of men for the presidency. Sectionalism and Negrophobia should forever bar southern men from the presidency. If not for always, at least until they learn sense enough to be fair toward ALL Americans. The more than a million colored voters in a should think soberly and seriously about whom they vote for. Men with peculiar racial antipathies should be barred from the Presidency. Men who will cater to race prejudices, whether for or against any race, should be kept out. We want a man that is FAIR and BIG enough to be JUST toward ALL RACES. Of the men now before us, SENATOR WARREN G. HARDING looms high above ALL Senator Harding will be just toward every race and especially does the colored race need such a man, since the immediate predecessor, and some others, have been so NASTY toward colored people. Many ugly things they have done, in justice to the country and the colored people, must be undone. The one man that should win at Chicago is Senator Harding. It is now time for a well-planned movement by colored people, the country over, to be set in motion to nominate and elect him. Unsolicited, we pledge him our support. This support is given without any money consideration and we stand ready to be used by him and his friends to help put him "over the top." We have reached this decision after weighing the claims of all aspirants now before us. Harding is the one, Negroes in every state can vote and work for conscientiously. Let us have Harding! (Rev.) WM. A. BYRD. TYLER "KNIFED" HARDING. IIe Will Not Be Forgotten By the State Republican Organization or Our People Either. Capt. L. N. Godman, 305 Clinton Bldg., Columbus, Ohio. Washington, D. C., April 22, 1920. Dear Godman! I received your letter of April 10th and read with interest your comments on the Ohio political situation, which will doubtless be straightened out to your satisfaction on the 27th inst. I note what you say about Ralph W. Tyler, but I am attributing his present attitude to his ambition to become the state leader, a very worthy ambition and one upon which he will be able to "cash inn", in the event of Gen. Wood's success. Ralph is taking a long sporting chance and unless, as you suggest, he is hedging with Gov. Cox through Editor Wolfe, his future political path will doubtless be rather rocky. You need a state leader alright, but the state organization usually is a long time especially in a case like this, where a fellow sticks the knife under the fifth rib of a "favorite son" for whose interests the organization members are sweating blood in an effort to pull through. There is a rumor here that Kalip is to succeed Joiner as Superintendent of the C. N. and I. Department, at Wilberforce and if this is true, I can easily understand the situation. Editor Harry C. Smith. Of The Gazette appears to be back in the harness, and is running true to form. There is some class to Harry and if it were not for him there would be a raw and rotten deal pulled off in Ohio by some of the "easy money boys" who fear publicity. He would make an ideal state leader for our people of Ohio. Tyler's paper claims that Charlie Doll get "cold feet" when the Harding mass meeting was staged in Columbus. Doll is a companionable fellow and I like him very much, but I noticed during my brief sojourn in your city, that his feet bothered him a great deal. Make it a point to get in touch with Milton J.

From a survey of our local physicians, the Cleveland Association of Colored Men find that the medical fraternity is strongly opposed to the organization of a "Negro Hospital for Cleveland." The Negro Hospital is being fostered by one colored physician and one colored nurse who, it is said, are soliciting funds for the same. The C. A. of C. M. wishes to advise the public that it heartily co-operates with our physicians in strongly opposing said hospital and the soliciting of funds for the same. The Forum, last Sunday afternoon, at Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church, drew an audience that filled the church and was one of the most interesting, enthusiastic and telling meetings of the year. The speakers were: Capt. Leroy N. Godman, of Columbus, Mr. Fred D. Patterson of Greenfield and the editor of The Gazette. S. B. Thompson was chairman, the pastor, Dr. L. H. Brown opening the exercises with prayer. It was a remarkable meeting in many respects and a credit to the Metropolitan Forum. It certainly sounded "taps" for Tyler and his "abuse-sewer" paper. In spite of the very inclement weather of Monday evening very near one thousand persons filled Chamber of Commerce hall to hear one of the highest class concerts ever given in this city by our people. Mr. G. F. Anderson, of Detroit, manager of the Acolian Concert Course, kept every one of his promises because the soloists and accompanist, and orchestra for the ball that followed, met the expectations of the most critical, and surpassed them. Madam Calloway-Byron has a strong, smooth and sweet soprano voice which she uses to splendid advantage. Miss Hagan is possibly the finest pianist the race has today and demonstrated that fact to the satisfaction of all, Monday evening. Mr. Howard is a violin soloist above the average and, too, pleased the large audience greatly. Mrs. Biggs' accompaniments measured up to the work of the soloists, each one of whom did truly artistic work in their several lines of effort. One thing sure and that is, Manager Anderson has left the very importance of interest as a result of Monroe's splendid concert and we doubt very much if Chamber of Commerce hall will hold the people who will attend the next concert of his Acolian course. We regret that lack of time and space will not permit our comment upon the various numbers of the program which as we have already said was high class (from a musical viewpoint) from beginning to end. The audience, too, was good to look upon. It measured up to the program and its participants. The concert was certainly a credit to our people, and those who failed to attend it missed a treat indeed. "THE OLD RELIABLE" APPRECIATED. Columbus, O., April 27, '20. Hon. Harry C. Smith.

BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS. In Ohio Are Financing Our Own Home Buying and Building Operations. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The recent and very remarkable growth in the number of building and loan associations operated and controlled by members of our race, for the purpose of financing their own home-buying and building operations, is a healthy sign of racial development and is suggestive of the possibilities of co-operation in other directions that will enable us to become less dependent upon other racial groups. As a building and loan association functions chiefly for the purpose of encouraging industry by stabilizing labor, for encouraging frugality, the saving of money by its members, the accumulation of savings, and the raising of money to be loaned to members and others who wish to build, acquire, and encumber homes, it is very important that the organization of these associations be encouraged, as it is generally conceded that the man who owns or who is trying to buy a home (other conditions being equal) is variably given the name of offeror or the man who makes no offeror or who desires to own one. In fact a man's rank in a community is measured largely by the kind of a home he owns and the character of his home life. But before organizing a Building and Loan Association a careful study should be made of community conditions. If the housing condition is acute; if the permanent industries in your city give steady work to at least five hundred married men who belong to our racial group, and if the employment conditions are attractive to them; if the type of wage earners is satisfactory to the employers, and if you wish to increase your permanent population, there is every reason to believe that a Building and Loan Association organized, operated and controlled by intelligent members of our group. On account of the rigid inspection laws and penalties in force in most states, a Building and Loan Association cannot be conducted as loosely as are some lodges and churches, and in electing the officers it is not advisable to elect a man merely because he is a "good fellow" or because he has the MOST MONEY, or because he is an orator. All of the officers should be men of integrity and intelligence, men who have the confidence of the leading citizens, men who have some knowledge of local real estate values, otherwise it will be difficult to secure surety bonds for them, and to obtain information from local business men whose opinions regarding policies, city extensions and real estate values will be frequently sought. It is claimed that these associations enable workmen to become owners of real estate SOONER THAN ANY OTHER MEANS DEVISED and that besides the gain in individual home owners and their families there is a tremendous gain to the community in having the wide distribution of ownership of real estate. Home buyers and owners constitute a permanent working force in a community and they contribute not only to the growth of the city, but also to its civic and business betterment. An investment in a building and loan association is as near ABSOLUTELY SAFE as can be, for the monthly dues and the accumulated profits are loaned by the association as fast as they are accumulated upon real estate or upon the stock of the Association itself. The opportunities for embezzlement, therefore, or for a shrinkage of securities are reduced to a minimum, and an ALMOST ABSOLUTE SAFETY OF THE INVESTMENT IS SECURED. No money is loaned on the promissory note of the borrower no matter how many signers or endorsers there may be to the note, and a further protection is afforded through the bonding of the officers in a recognized Surety. The officers in such a bonding should director of an association be eligible as a bondsman, and on being re-elected to office all officers should immediately renew their bonds. In some states the directors are individually liable for any loss to members caused by their neglect to have the officers bonded, or to have the bonds renewed upon the re-election of officers. If in your town or city there is an average of only three real estate transfers per week or 156 per year, and if the purchase price averages as low as $2,000, it means that $312,000 is required to finance the home buying of our group in your community during the year. If the average cash payment is only $300, that means an aggregate cash payment of $46,800 which amount when deducted from $312,000 leaves an aggregate yearly encumbrance of $265,200 at six or seven per cent interest. The questions arise. Who furnishes and handles all of this money? Who gets the first and second mortgage interest, and why is not this tidy amount of money cleared through agencies of our own, rather than through those under the control of men who often are found to be not in sympathy with our racial aspirations. It is obvious that there should be a strong Negro controlled Building and Loan Association in every community where there is a considerable number of our people, and there are now a sufficient number with which to form a National League of Associations through which our bonding and second mortgage problems can be worked out. CHAS. E. HALL. SOTHERN & MARLOWE At Howard University and Dunbar High School—President Butler and Dr. Wm. Pickens. WASHINGTON, D. C.—E. H. Sothern, the great dramatist, and his wife, "Julia Marlowe," who played at a local theater two weeks, paid our people of this city an unusual compliment, recently, by reading at Howard University and Dunbar High school because miserable color-line conditions prevailing here made it impossible to hear them. Mr. Sothern prefaced his readings with addresses on the valor of our soldier boys in France during the World War. The applause given the World War. The applause was most generous. Prof. Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University and Prof. Wm. Pickens also spoke at the University recently. Major M. T. Dean, of the University, has been designated by the Wa Department as military instructor of the 400 cadets of our schools of the District. The demand for trained nurses, the past year, has been four times greater than the university could supply.

A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2). Section 6279.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Hilmois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—in the statutes) under the heading obs. representative of victim of lynching.ury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than not less than thirty days nor imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they do, and we must teach them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

A CERTAIN man in New York filled out his income tax report. It showed an income so large that his tax was 53%. And his total gifts to church and charity for the year were $148. Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world a little better than he found it! Most of us do better than that; but not so very much better. Our average daily gift for all church causes is —less than we spend for daily papers —less than a local telephone call —less than a third of the day's car fare —less than 3 cents a day No wonder that 80% of the are paid less than $20 a the church hospitals turn people a year.

No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat. It isn't because we are selfish; it isn't because we don't want to help.

Then my husband have several attacks of convulsions. A little more than a month ago I received convulsions, at one time, a lady friend told me on Dr. Kline's Klinepile Remedy.
