WHAT OUR VOTERS DEMAND! --- THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR No.29. Those in Ohio Are Financing Our Own Home-Buying and Building Operations. IN UNION IN STANDING THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR WHA CHARLEY HA On Building and for Our Those in Ohio Are Home-Buying Opera WASHINGTON, D. C. The recent and pery 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 holds homes, conditions being equal) is invariably given the preference over the man who makes no effort or who should desire to own one. In fact a man's rank in a community is measured largely by the kind of a home he owns and by 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 in your city are unemployed, and if you wish to increase your permanent population, there is every reason to believe that a Building and Loan Association can be successfully 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 ledges 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 when they have some edge in education, others 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 wormmen 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 owners and their families there constitute 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 enhancement, therefore, or for a shrinkage of securities are reduced to a minimum, and an ALMOST ABSOLUTELY SAFE OF THE INVESTMENT IS SECURED. No money is loaned as the promissory note of the borrower no matter how many signers or purchasers there may be to the note, and a further protection is afforded through the bonding of the officers who are recognized in Company. Unless certain conditions should a divorce be, an association be eligible to suffer all officers should immediately renew their bonds. In some states the directors are individually liable for any loss to the members caused by their neglect to have the officers bonded, or to have the bonds renewed upon the reelection of officers. If in your town or city there is an average of only three real estate tranders 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 THE GAZETTE aggregate cash payment, of $40,800 which amount when deducted from $12,100 leaves an aggregate yearly encumbrance of $206,200 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 living Negro League in the community and Low 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. OUR DELEGATES TO THE Coming Republican National Convention at Chicago In June Must "Watch Their Step" or There'll Be Trouble. CHICAGO, Ill.—Chicago Republican National Convention influence among our leaders is prepared for an attack on the southern delegations to that convention. It has been brought forcibly to the attention of some of the leaders here that "some" of the southern Negro delegates are a purchaseable quantity. Be that as it may God forbid that such be the case at the coming June convention. Potent Republican leaders, and I mean big men, are seemingly growing more and more disgusted by delegates from the south who appear to go to these conventions for the sole purpose of personal monetary gain. It is with smart wonder that we view the railings of certain ones of the south at their disfranchisement when right in the face of it all they come north and sell themselves out for thirty dirty pieces of silver. Delegates to this coming convention are going to serve without hope of pecuniary reward and certain agencies in Chicago are going to endeavor to put a stop to this commercial trafficking. National Convention is due to win the November election and, that being so, our right should be for certain necessary planks in the platform of the party. These cannot be constructed of the delegates in large numbers sell themselves out. The WHO be used in the interest of the particular delegates should see to it that special attention is given to it that especially attention is given to it. It is usually common in Chicago and New York that delegates are quite flush with Nellos of "yellow-backs" and sometimes it looks as if greed for gold and filth here is much greater than love of race or country. From a small acorn has grown a great oak in the forest of Chicago politics in the person of former Alderman Oscar DePriest, who is a full-fledged, duly elected, uninstructed delegate to the Republican National Convention from the concession district of Illinois, which includes Chicago's famous second ward. Mr. DePriest is a stalwart face man, not tempted by price. He has the courage of his well founded convictions and "speaks out in meeting." His early endeavor will be to get a hearing before our delegates and if his counsel is heeded there will be a new day for the Negro as a whole and less gold in position than the concession district. It is hoped that the conduct of our southern delegates will as a whole be more typical of our strong leaders who stand high in the party and attend these conventions for real service without hope of personal reward or monetary gain. MORRIS LEWIS. THE $1,000,000 WOOD FUND. What, the Greatest American Daily Newspaper Had to Say About It. NEW YORK CITY—The New York World on March 22 published a long article claiming that the presidential boom of General Leonard Wood is "underwritten" by a number of mili- naire Republicans. Here are some of the World's statements: Dan R. Hanna, of Cleveland, was initial promoter of the Wood boom ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since and undertook to raise a $1,000,000 fund. John T. K. raised and distributed $101,000. The fund was to have been $1,000,000 made up of contributions of ten men of $100,000 each. The World claims to have possession of information showing the following men "participated in the underwriting of the syndicate." Edward L. Doheney, president of the Mexican Petroleum Co., and officer and director of other oil companies, railroads and banks. Ambrose Monel, officer and director in Nickel, Phosphate, Motor, Steel, Bank and other corporations. Harry F. Sinclair, head of the Sinclair Oil and Refining company and other corporations. II. M. Bylesby, officer and director in 29 transportation and other corporations. W. B. Thompson, copper magnate, director in federal reserve bank and officer and director in many corporations. Dan R. Hanna, capitalist, of Cleveland. E. F. Smathers, capitalist, of New York. A. A. Sprague, head of the largest wholesale grocery house in Chicago and director in many corporations.

A pleasant evening, with music, was thoroughly enjoyed—Mrs. Ada Bason, of Cincinnati, visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Johnson, Sunday. Money, Power and Love. One thing I have found out is that since we are living in a civilization that is built on money, we do respect men who can make money. This is because money means power and all human beings long for, and admire, power. Therefore no woman today respects a man who cannot make money, where there is no respect, there cannot be love.—Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. PETR WILLETT. Pete Willett, star basketball player of the Central High School team, surely has a bright athletic future in front of him, for tho' he is only seventeen years old. He has been selected by ourious newspaper for their mythical all school teams. For the season of 1919-20, Willett was selected by the News for the all-scholastic basketball team. During the season, he played forward, center and also guard at times, so that it was necessary for him to be an all-player in order to make this mythical five, for playing guard at times, made it that much harder for him to get into the scoring of his team. After the basketball season of his school was over, he was captain of the high school Five that entered the Class C tourney, recently conducted, and his team was eliminated by the Rosewater Credits by but one point in the semi-finals. In that game Willett played tho' he was badly handicapped by a sprained ankle. At times he was just able to drag himself along the floor. The year before, he played center on the Brownell Jr. High school basketball team, which won the city championship of junior high schools. Ross Tenney of the Press, selected him for his all junior high school team. Last Fall, he was again honored by Ross Tenney of the Press, when he was selected as an end of the all-senate football team. Before making the Central High Frenta-Zetas, in 1918, and played basketball with the Keystones under the tutorship of Mr. Jelliffe. This past season, he was the only cooled lad in town, that made a varsity basketball team.—Cleveland (O.) Amateur Athlete. We wonder why events have thrust upon us the distinction of being the only race journal that has attacked the nation-wide evil that "Negro" theater, hotel, school, church, bank and other buildings are being designed, with so few honorable exceptions, by white architects and engineers, who never did employ, in their offices, a single Afro-American learned in those professions. The Crisis, during the past year or so, showed pictures of buildings put up by our capital, but has never published a syllable condemning those who retained, as architects and engineers, our white enemies. We are still uninformed as to whether the Dunbar Theatre—published in a recent issue of the Crisis—was designed by white architects and engineers in Philadelphia, which is a hot bed of prejudice in the two associated professions. Our exclusive New York news of April 3rd indicated the fact that a campaign enlightenment is greatly needed toward recognizing Afro-American merit. That Messrs Traw and Dammond possess the highest class of ability in their respective professions is well known throughout this country. Structures now standing or under construction in Canada, Alaska, England, Cuba, Michigan, Kentucky, three New England states and many other places, were designed by these two justly celebrated members of the race whom the Sarco Company, of New York, turned down in favor of white designers who do not employ our draftmen. Moreover, it has become an unwritten but none the less invariable rule with the Young Men's Pseudochristian Association, that no Afro-American architect or structural engineer, can get a ghost of a chance at designing buildings—not even under the association's segregating ("jim crow") department. "Can you beat it?" We sincerely hope that our people of Memphis, Tenn. and Atlantic City, N.J., who are contemplating buildings to cost more than a million dollars, will not be guilty of employing a single white architect or engineer for designing those buildings. They cannot find any persons more competent to design those structures than Vertner Woodson Tandy and William Hunter Dammond. "NON-PARTISAN" HYPOCRISY Immediately after the election in November, 1916, when he had secured a second term on the false slogan of "kept us out of war", President Wilson gave an interview in which he said, "Now that the campaign is over, we may all address ourselves to the welfare of the nation without thought of partisan feeling." But there was no let-up in partisanship so far as he was concerned. War came on rapidly, he refused to organize a coalition cabinet, kept incompetents in control, and continued his partisan administration, even in time of war. So in framing terms of peace when the war had been won. The representatives to the peace conference were Wilsonian rubber stamps. Even the respectful suggestions of 39 Republican Senators, who, under the Constitution, must advise and consent to a treaty, were repulsed with scorn and stubborn defiance. With a hypocritical appeal for the laying aside of partisanship, President Wilson practiced the most relentless partisanism before the war, during the war and in the negotiation of peace. And there are some people so dense of mind as not to see the hypocrisy. LET US HAVE PEACE. The Democrats of Congress charge that the whole proposition to pass a peace resolution is but a Republican attempt to discredit President Thomas Woodrow Wilson. Of course any movement for peace implies a discredit, to Mr. Wilson, who opposes peace until he can write an American surrender policy into the treaty. But the Republicans of Congress are too busy saving what remains of the nation's prestige to focus attention on the individual in the White House. It is the business of Congress to restore the country its virile energy, which the Democratic octopus has sapped so cruelly. The first step in that program is to bring peace once more, and the majorities of both Houses are going about it with determination. My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of bad blood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power. To entangle the wrong, for such a worthy cause. Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. Cowper. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS A wise colored delegation to the Republican national convention in 1912 could have nominated their man upon their own basis. They could have said: if you give us political freedom in the south destroy the southern oligarchy and enforce the Fifteenth Amendment we will support your man. They could have gotten it. There was not sufficient grey matter there to drive this bargain. William Howard Taft had insulted every self-respecting Negro in his first inaugural address when he proclaimed he needed not to impract any position that a southern white man objected to." Theodore Roosevelt had defended Negroes and at that convention, Negroes of master minds could have forced the Taft or Roosevelt forces to concede their wishes, but they failed. In Chicago in June, southern Negroes will be a deciding factor, if the contest is close. Can the Negro delegates be depended upon to force political freedom by wise handling of their ballots? We believe it is the duty of northern states, where they have large colored constituencies, to send able colored men to this convention who will strike for OUR SECOND FREE-DOM. Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Kansas and Indiana should send colored men to the convention to be held at Chicago. Colored men in these states should vote, but vote in all elections and their votes are counted as cast. These colored delegates should demand of the Republican party, the complete restoration of the ballot to the colored people of the south, as they had it in 1872. They should also demand of the federal government to enforce their right to vote. This government has voted through Congress to enforce the 18th Amendment. Why not put the Republican party on record to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment? The basis of Negro troubles in America, is the flagrant ignoring of the Fifteenth Amendment. The voting colored people demand the ENFORCEMENT of the Fifteenth Amendment. Will Mr. Hays and his party do it? The Republican party made possible this Amendment and it also winked at its ABROGATION. Has the party changed its mind? Is it willing to conscript the southern states and make them live up to the conditions of the Fifteenth Amendment as it was willing to conscript colored manhood and make it fight to make safe America? For any party to refuse, to grant Negroes the full American rights is as disloyal to the flag as it was for Negroes to refuse to fight in the last World War. The. Democratic party, which is a southern party, has never dreamt of granting colored people their liberties. In this respect the entire Democratic party, north and south, has been a menace to the constitution. Whenever the democratic party wins, southern Democrats are forced to grant the government. It is treason for any man to boast of his aiding to break the constitution. Southerners in and out of Congress boast of their stealing and destroying the Negro vote. They are as much rebels now, so far as the constitution is concerned, as they were in 1850. Negroes, as citizens of the United States, call upon this nation to put an end to this lynching of the constitution or cease telling the lie—that "America is the home of the free." Political lies have cursed the colored race. Negro hunters have wished at these political lies just the same as white office hunters. Both have exploited the franchise of the colored race for their pockets. We demand that both cease and the Republican Party live up to its history or go out of business as a liar. IN UNION IS STRONG COPY FIVE CENTS AND! lot in South! For People's Right to hat Section. to the Republican Nat- Should Demand— ratic Party. We expect the Democratic party, so long as it is run by the south, to steal our votes and deny the race the rights of American citizens but we do not expect it of the Republican party. The time has come for the showing down. The G. O. P. no longer deserves that name if it is too cowardly to live up to the spiritual ideas that formed it. If the Republican party side-step now, it lies and that too most infamously, to the world and the colored race. For the colored race is almost solidly Republican, and no other race is, and it has remained Republican without "PAP" in order that it might live in America and be inspired by what we have not received in spite of our loyalty. Give it to us now or we shall see the reason why it is not granted. In seeing to this, we shall not wait till after the election but only till the platform is announced, and then we shall be able to see where we stand. The Negro womanhood of the nation will enter politics as soon as the Amendment becomes effective. They must be treated as. women deserves. There must be only one standard for treating womanhood in America, politically. To attempt to treat our women as our men have been, is to court serious trouble. Neither men nor women will stand for it. Northern Negroes must set the pace and bring about the things the race needs. The southern Negro can not do us any good in voting but he can do us good in standing, squarily by our northern program at the national convention. Men we are fighting for our share of democracy, we are fighting for our freedom over the political top. The south must be made to respect the constitution. The south may just as well know that this is our fight. Here we shall fight till we conquer and that "through the Republican party, if it will let us. Additional Local The "smoker" at the National Carbon Works for its Afro-American employees, last Thursday evening, was an enjoyable affair. J. M. Knowles, a foreman, was highly spoken of by Supt. McHerd, a member of the "cosmopolitan committee," and Industrial Supt. Morrison assured all of the employees that the company stood ready to go "fifty-fifty" with them, in anything they undertook that would be of any benefit to them, such as base ball, basket ball, picnic and other enjoyments. Lunch was served. A "hot time!" np Central Ave. way, again last Sunday. Four persons are in Charity hospital recovering from gunshot wounds inflicted by Charles Cross, 2380 E. 31st St, and others injured by police autos. Cross also was in the hospital. He was shot twice by policemen who captured him after a chase. Cross, infuriated by domestic troubles, according to police, went to the home of his aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Fluellen, 2504 E. 14th St, where his wife, Essie, was visiting. He shot both women. He then ran to the store of Jacob Bernstein, 3043 E. 91st Ave, his landlord, demhied the return of rent paid and shot Bernstein. In a running gun fight with Patrohlman Herman Bash, demhied the return of 2514 E. 31st St, a bystander. None of the wounded will die, it was said. Sophie Marinock, seven, 2388 E. 36th St, was injured when run down by a police automobile pursuing Cross. Also a man in E. 14th St. In a letter, received recently from Rev. O. W. Childers, former popular pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, East End, now in charge of Eaker St. A. M. E. church, our largest in Dayton, he wrote: "Our work here is progressing nicely, it's the most difficult I have had because of a peculiar state of mind. Twenty-five years of turnover in the church created a condition that requires great patience and self-control. It is our hope to succeed." And he will, too. "The Old Reliable Gazette," continues Rev. Childers, "is a welcome visitor to our desk. It is a pleasure to read the news of dear old Cleveland and the editors and other articles. One may get from The Gazette what cannot be gotten from any other journal." I am glad you are for Harding. There are a few excited individuals calling upon our people to turn to Wood.

SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1920 The Gazette is indebted to the Cleveland Amateur Athlete for the article and the Pete Willett cut, used elsewhere in this issue. The Amateur Athlete is a live newspaper "youngster" and deserves the patronage of all. If Ex-President Wm. Howard Taft's great Cincinnati, Ohio, hotel did not draw color-lines and he had not so very much love for southern Democrats, even those who were rebels during the war of the rebellion, some of whom he elevated to the U. S. Supreme bench, we could take more interest in what he says anent the race and the South. Tucked away, on an inside page, up in a corner, Ralph Wilgera Tyler made last week, what appears to be no defense at all. It was really amusingly weak and—characteristic. Exit, Ralph O, that check for one hundred "camolians!" Harding got about nineteenth of the Afro-American votes in the state and of course carried it with a nice plurality in spite of the thousands of dollars of "Wood" money spent almost in vain. As if there were not already enough high N. A. A. C. P. salaries for its poor membership to stagger under, some foolish persons are urging a $2,000 a year salary for the secretary of the local branch. Lord, have mercy! Mr. Keebles is an excellent official and ought to receive some compensation not only for what he is doing but also for what he has done so freely, willingly and well ever since he has held the office. But $2,000 a year now—NEVER! The salaries paid four or five national officers ought to be cut just one half and then they would be being paid well for the results secured to our people by the organization. The effort of certain members of the Congress and leading newspapers of the country to scare from the support of the ex-soldiers' bonus bill other members, particularly those from the South, by holding up to them as a "bogey-man" Afro-American ex-soldier workmen of that section who might not want to work after receiving the bonus, will not be successful. There are many white ex-soldiers in the North who also might not want to work and for the same reason or reasons. If the boys, who fought in the World War, want the bonus Congress should give it to them, and promptly, too, regardless of consequences to the South or any other section of the country. Caul's Giants have been debarred from the C. A. B. A. by action of its directors solely on the ground of color, we are informed. As the C. A. B. A. uses the public parks in which to play its games, we are a little curious to know just how long Mayor FitzGerald is going to permit that organization to continue using the taxpayers' property while drawing a color-line against taxpayers, and Republicans, too, as numerous as our people are in this city. How long, Brother FitzGerald? Let the N. A. A. C. P. local branch "get busy" and receive this answer. If it doesn't, then the editor of "The Old Reliable" Gazette will go to the City Hall for it. Send on the Harding and Daugherty letters, Ralph, we certainly would like to read them. That is the only way you can make the writer believe that either of them ever "begged" you for your "services and support." Judging by the letter Tyler sent Mr. Daugherty, the one we published in our issue of April 24, '20, Ralph did the "begging" and not the Senator or Mr. Daugherty. He apparently has a most generous estimate of the value of his "services and support." Wonder if the Wood people had the same? Tyler went to Chicago with the funds afforded by that Harding-Daugherty check for $100, came back and soon thereafter "flopped" to Wood. Then followed his "Texas illy-white" and other stories, and the "J. M. Wallace" letters that Editor Love, of the Houston, Texas, Freeman exploded. PREJUDICE "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature."—John Stuart Mill. "THINK AS A MAN" Class is as fatal in intelligence as anywhere else. Watch yourself, that you do not slump into looking at all questions from the point of view of your class. Think as a human being, not as a Republican, or Democrat, or Laborer, or Capitalist, or Protestant, or Catholic, or Jew, or an Easterner, or a Westerner, or a Negro, or an American. Think as a man.—Dr. Frank Crane. It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right- Not a sacrifice, even though you go down. They count not the cost, who fight the good fight, And unflinchingly face the sneer or the frown. C. Manning PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and grillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own success that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.-George W. Blount. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required.

FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

Wills has been appointed a teacher by the board of education. The Linndale A. M. E. mission is a live effort and Rev. Thos. Evans, pastor, is doing a splendid work. The new pastor of Cory M. E. church drew a large congregation, Sunday week, and started off nicely, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Anderson have returned to the city from their former home in Hillsboro. He is a letter-carrier. Mrs. Wm. McIntire had as guests during the Y. M. C. A. convention Mrs. R. C. Ransom and Miss A. Chapain. Do not forget the "May Days" and anniversary celebrations at the popular Royal Inn. These are to be exceptional events.—Adv. The deacons banquet, at Shiloh Baptist church, Thursday evening, under the management of Mr. Peter Ross, was a tremendous success. Mrs. L. H. Morris, E. 66th St., has sold her home and will leave, in a few days, for Detroit and Philadelphia, as announced in a recent issue of The Gazette. Mrs. Henry E. Dickerson, of E. 89th St., won the beautiful quilt given by the Tuesday Afternoon Thimble Club at the P. W. annex, April 15. The winning number was 432. Eliminate the rent profiteer!

Johnson, Nashville, wife of one of the most prominent undertakers in the south. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask for your trade in this program. Dean Wm. Pickens, of Morgan college, spoke for the local N. A. A. C. P. branch at East Tech auditorium, last Thursday evening. Also Mary White Ovington, chairman of the board of directors. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Washington, D. C., principal of the National Training school, supported by the Baptists, spoke at East Tech High auditorium last Friday evening, under the auspices of the Phyllis Wheatley association. As we go to press, it is announced that Clinton Fowler, a son of Mrs. Wm. Fowler and a brother of Roy Fowler, old residents, is dead. Pneumonia. He was a cousin of Danny Fowler who died after a short illness a few weeks ago. Mrs. Grace Willis Thompson was tendered a banquet by the E. M. Zion Baptist church choir, recently. She gave recitals in Uniontown and Connellsville, Pa., last week. She will have charge of the newly organized young people's choir at St. John's church. Judge Robert H. Terrell and daughter, Mrs. Goins, of Washington, D. C., were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A Myers and daughter, Miss Dorothy, during their short stay in the city. Mrs. Goins was also the guest of her school chum, Mrs. Harvey Atkins, E. 103d St., for a day. St. Marks Presbyterian church's second Mothers' Day services will be held, Sunday, at 3 p. m.

Smith of Winchester, Ky., who is conducting revival services at Corinthian Baptist church, E. 31st St. and Cedar Ave., will preach for the Ministers' Conference at Gethsemene Baptist church, E. 30th St. and Scovill Ave., Monday afternoon.

He wishes to thank the Thimble Club and the many other friends for courtesies and other evidences of true friendship shown during his illness. It was great encouragement and aided materially in his convalescence, both Mr. and Mrs. Bolden say. Be sure to read both of the Royal Inn's advertisements, elsewhere in this paper. That popular resort is ever trying to afford the latest and best amusements and pleasure for its many patrons and it is the same high-class place of business it has been kept by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Harris from the very beginning. This is another race enterprise we should take pride in and liberally patronize.—Adv. Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Dale had as guests several visitors to the Y. W. C. A. convention. Mrs. Dora Rice, of Dayton, was the guest of Miss Willa Shook. Miss Emma F. Merritt and Mrs. M. F. Thompson, Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Cromwell, Winston-Salem, N. C., were guests of Mrs. G. W.

Lemon, supt., composed the committee of St. John's A. M. E. Sunday school that paid the abuse-sewer to publish, last week, its report of the Collins-Jones recital after that sheet had "roasted the liver" out of the recital and its participants. They deserve an "iron cross" even the German soldiers were throwing away, it is said, after the World War. Some people do not seem to know what the Missouri "hound dog," that is said to have been "kicked about," is credited with knowing. Paying for abuse, even indirectly, is "going some." And using the Sunday-school's money to do so, too! Lord. have mercy! The Empire Savings & Loan Co.'s formal opening, last Saturday, proved a very satisfactory affair. Our people crowded the neat and business-like rooms and everybody seemed happy and greatly pleased with this new race enterprise. President and Mrs. Murrell, Attorney and Mrs. A. H. Martin, Vice-Pres. and Mrs. R. K. Hodges, Dr. A. J. Whitehead, treas., Sec. Chauncey and other officers and directors were in evidence, helping materially to make all who called feel at home. We noted the fact that the cash was flowing in and that Brother Chauncey was almost too busy receiving it to talk. Good! That is the only way to make our enterprises a success—nut money into them. The annual meeting of this diocese (Northern Ohio) of the Episcopal Church was held in this city, Monday to Thursday inclusive; headquarters in the cathedral.

Ogborn, Dr. Wallace, the Mesdames Nonie Berry, Sadie Reed, Lucas and Calvin Banister, delegates, all of Youngstown, were in the city, Wednesday and Thursday, in attendance upon the S. S. convention. The ladies paid The Gazette a very pleasant visit, Wednesday morning. Mrs. Berry and Mrs. Reed are former residents of Cleveland. They were guests of Dr. and Mrs. J. K. Nickens, 2180 E. 83d St. The last week in March some one sent us some money in an envelope and neglected to also enclose their address. Who did it? Dr. E. A. Bailey, 2265 E. 40th St., has changed his office hours. Persons wishing to see him at his office will find him there from 4 to 7:30 p. m. The doctor is a very busy man. KERNELS Charles Clees says: "Smiles are made to show the heart, not the teeth." Aggressiveness may carry a man through the world, but he'll need considerable philosophy as ballast. If opportunity were at sea, lots of people would hesitate on the shore, dreading submarines. The truest teaching is living; and the primary philanthropy is to live a good life.—Edward Howard Griggs.

You men and women who can't get feeling right—who have headache, coated tongue, bad tastes and foul breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are bilious, nervous and upset, bothered with a sick, gassy, disordered stomach and colds. Are you keeping your liver and bowels clean with Cascarets, or shocking your inside every few days with Calomel, Salts, Oil and violent pills? Cascarets work while you sleep; they cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested fermenting food and four tails, take a bite from the liver and carry out of the system all the constipated waste matter and poison in the bowels. Cascarets never gripe, sicken or cause inconvenience and Cascarets cost so little too. "SYRUP OF FIGS" CHILD'S LAXATIVE Look at tongue!
