Dr. Wm. A. Byrd on Political Liars and What We Want and Need—The Madden Bill
Another Presidential commission is on them by the government, does not now upon us. Aspirant for the president, all years ago, Negroes should deny are fighting hard for delegates, hold them until disbanded white men. The curse of the Republican primari who have the government in control is the unholy fight, for southern give them the rights of American delegates, some of whom are citizens. The real Reds in this country stench in the morbidity of decent voters are the living politicians in aners. Infamous hypocrisy lies, back of out of office. This "Red Business" is this use of office-seeking colored and nothing more than a propaganda and white southerners to nominate candidates so far as colored men are concerned dates but exclude them from having it amounts to nothing. If Negroes in anything to do with the election of America remained quiet and loyal to the candidate nominated.

cratic southerners, unto the Republican party as despicable as is the democratic party which openly destroys Negro franchise. The Negroes of this country have passed through the hell of the Wilson administration and there is nothing worse to follow even though a democrat of the Wilson type be reelected. The Republican party, born to free and enfranchise the black people, has become a party to our reevaluation. As yet we are the only simon pure Republicans in America. Our white Republicans believe in the party because it fills their pockets with money or aids them in their political aspirations and secures for them prestige and privileges. The colored man gets the shavings which are without substance and his party sits by and allows him to be mal-treated by his ancient foe, the bourbon southern democratic party which is too stupid to take in a new idea. The lies told the colored people by the Republican party are sufficient to consign it to shear if it were possible to give it a resting place there. In spite of these rank betrayals the colored voter is waiting to hear a fresh set of lies from Republican hypocrites. Some of us will not be lied to any longer. We are willing and ready to support the Republican party but in order that our support may be counted upon, the goods must be given us in advance. Not money, but planks in the party platform that will allow the world to know that colored people will receive in the south every right that any other voter receives. If the Republican party has become an ally of the democratic party in the south, but shouting loudly its hostility towards the democratic party of the north, the time is here for a show down. Colored people should examine closely into the attitude of the men conducting the campaigns of the different candidates for the presidency. If these vote-getters are not square in their industrial relations with colored laborers, let us stay shy of their candidate, for if their candidate is elected, he will follow the advice of the man that put him into the White House. There is no real reason why a politician should be such a consumate liar. The country has listened to political liars, knowing at the time they were liars, and yet it trusted them. No longer will colored voters trust them. The higher up the politician is, so far as we are concerned, the more flagrant have been his lies. The Congressmen that knifed the Madden Bill, lie if they tell you they believe in a square deal for colored people. Negroes must know their enemies and fight them openly whether in the Democratic or Republican parties. Our votes during this coming, election must count for our liberty! The vicious habit of calling men Bolshevists, that oppose the dirty deals being giv-
on them by the government, does not
us all year round. Negroes should be
fighting until disbanded, white, now
who have; the government in control
give them the rights of American
citizens. The real Reds in this country
are the living politicians in and
out of office. This "Red Business" is
nothing more than a propaganda, and so far as colored men are concerned it amounts to nothing. If Negroes in America remained quiet and loyal to the miscarriage of justice in this
country whenever they are concerned
they deserve to be stood up against a
wall and fuel a firing squad because
of their betrayal of their own liberties. It is infinity to be loyal to men
who represent the American government. Let the world know that Colored Americans are dissatisfied.

THE POLITICAL POT
A. N. Fields in Chicago Defender.
The presidential light down in Ohio, especially as it affects the Northern states to be getting real warm. Ralph W. Tyler, the well-known correspondent and former auditor of the news, is charged by one of our brother's editors with having accepted one hundred dollars of Senator Harding's change, in order that he might come to the Lincoln League convention and "holler" loud and lengt for Ohio's favorite son. From the evidence at hand it appears, that Brother Tyler attempted to tip the Harding "till" again, but for some reason or another he lost the combination. It was then that Tyler is said to have sought a new affinity and began to make love with leaders of the Wood forces.
Editor Smith Produced the Goods. When these changes were first made against Ohio's veteran correspondent it was doubted that they could be made good, but Brother Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, reached in his dusty archives, and pulled therefrom certain documentary evidence in the form of not only letters which had passed between a certain prominent white leader of the Harding forces, but also the returned canceled check, bearing the signature of our good friend Ralph Tyler. Thus the corpus deleti was established. Being a friend of Ralph Tyler it is here suggested that the best way out of this dilemma is to deny his signature. In a political fight, you might be able to get away with it, Ralph. The funny thing about a check is that after you have cashed it, it returns again to the man who issues it with your name still on it. It is advised that in future transactions you suggest cash instead of checks. Of course the journalistic field sympathizes with you, but this man Smith seems to have the evidence against you.
Don't Write Letters.
Brother Tyler will no doubt learn from this bit of experience that it is a dangerous thing to swap horses in the middle of the street; especially when you are riding without a saddle. Of course writing political love letters is a dangerous thing anyway, for they are chickens which sometimes come home to roost, bringing with them an unpleasant cackle. We recall Brother Tyler's visit to the Lincoln League convention, last February, but do not recall him spending anything gave the time he spent in the city. Probably he was silently boosting Senator. Harding.

was without the gravity of fact behind it comparable to the actual grounds for complaint as against the procedure of 1908. The facts are, rather more, that the 1912 delegates from the South for Taft were almost the same in personal as were the 1908 Taft delegates, while they were sent to the convention of 1912 by the same political machinery and leadership built up by the Hitchcock-McHargy activity in 1908. It will be recalled that McHargy undertook to make progress in undoing his 1908 work in 1912, but his former political material had committed itself to Taft. It is also a fact that the south-
M.
conventions had acted, in most part, before the fight to nominate Roosevelt in 1912 had gotten well under way. Those contesting delegations brought forward and championed by McHarg in 1912 were so wholly without merit that it was finally admitted that they were made for the political effect it would have in bracing up the extravagant claims of the Roosevelt managers. Delegates unseated in 1908 to make way for the Hitchcock manipulation did have merit and it was that strong arm and rough-neck work that played the devil with party harmony in these years that followed. In bringing Hitchcock forward, the Wood candidacy has become the heir of the mistakes of the Roosevelt regime rather than the heir of the splendid qualities which went to make name and fame for Roosevelt.
There is a serious apprehension in this country that this Hitchcock procedure will tend to make the election of a Republican President a very difficult task and the lesson of the failure of finance to elect Mitchel of New York, through strong arm tactics, ought to show the moneybund backing Wood that this sort of thing can not be put across in the matter of electing a President when it so ignominiously failed to elect a mayor of New York.
What promises to be "the season" of opportunity" is the coming of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, of St. Louis and Col. Otis B. Duncan of Chicago. They are to be at the auditorium of Engineers hall, Friday evening, June 4. The former will speak on "The New Negro" and the latter on "Reconstruction." Col. Duncan, who as lieutenant-colonel, succeeded to the command (temporarily) of the 370th Inf., in France during the World War, on the retirement of Col. Franklin-Dennison, invalided home, is now colonel of the 8th Illinois N. G. Inf. regiment, a fine speaker and brave soldier, a credit to the race. Dr. Bundy is a "home boy," a Clevelander because of long residence, and needs no introduction to our people of this city. Do not fail to hear these two men.—Adv.

lipersons, for many months past, have
jcome to The Gazette office and asked
why it did ot expose him (and
fothers), as has been our custom for
nearly forty years. To all, “The Old

fakes of one kind and another and do-
ing many other good things of a sim-
jilar nature, The Gazette apparently
had received nothing but ABUSE,
while strangers, some even aliens,
|could come to Cleveland and start
| papers, ete., and be preferred to “The
Old Reliable,” by an element in this
community that has been sold bogus
stock in the Colored American (is-
sued only occasionally), stock in oth-
/er papers, in the Booker ‘T. Washing-
ton battleship fiasco, the B. T. W.
| Realty Co,, the Negro Chamber of
|Commeree, and the Lord only knows
[how many other schemes, including
|the purchase pf lots away in New
| Jersey, Michigan, California and
[_redunck”. Nope, we wanted those
{people to get “stung” good and prop-
jer. We are sorry for the others, but
jit was necessary in order that. some
persons in this community be taught
a much-needed Jesson and that others
be benefitted indirectly thereby. There
are a few “Negro ministers, real
testate dealers” and others in Cleve-
jland that are not one whit better
than “Prof.” Negro Chamber of
Commerce Williams and all of our
people here will find it out sooner or
later, many of them to their sorrow.
The following letter, date May 10,

Bowman and the organization before

about putting so much confidence in

the fact that he was securing money

SCIENCE AND
ee
Letting Wash Hang Too Long on Line
Also Deteriorates Garments.
| Science has invaded the Jaundry.
"After solving the puzzling problems of
“niany calories of proteid and carbo
hydrate we should get when we buy
11 cents worth of fish, the microscope
and the test tube have determined
how often a witf collar should stand
‘starching before it cracks at the
“edges.
‘The recent investigations into the
‘fine points of ‘Washing and the mys-
‘terious reasons for the rapid deter!-
oration of some kinds of wash goods
were made by the Mellon Iistitute
ot Industrial Research, which {s con
jwected with the University of Pitts
burgh.
Few people have any clear {dea of
how long ® shirt of a coller or a
‘tablecloth ought tp, weer, and how
often it ought to stand being launder:
ed. With garments used for personal
Weur it is a little more dificult to
| make comparisons, because some peo-
ple give their clothes harder usage
| thad others, but « napkin or a table:
cloth gets about the same amount of
wear in any household,
‘The investigators took the expeti-
“ence of a certain large hotel as typ
feal, ‘They estimate that the nap-
Kins and tablecloths in this hove!
have Veen Ikundered 228 times in the
two years sincel they were first pur
chased, and they are still iu perfectly
‘The investigators find that there
are three essential factors in the long
‘life of any piece of wash goods, It
‘must be of good quality to begin
‘with, it must be properly treated, and
‘it must be properly washed. ‘The fac-
tor of quality has to be seen to when
the purchase ls made. ‘The matter of
“proper treatment is deserving of more
attention than it usually gets.
It Is & fact not generally realized
in the average bousehold that the life
of any article or garment which is
washed regularly depends not only
on the number of times it goes to the
laundry but also on how badly solled
‘it is. If clothes and linen are badly
“spotted and stained they do not last
as long, because they must be washed
longer and more’ tigorously.
‘That exposure to the air in drying
tends to weaken. cloths and farbries
was shown by a series of tests which
Indieate that clothes should not be lett
on the line any longer than is abso
lutely necessary. ‘This is especially
tho,case in cities and subulbs where
there is considerable smoke in te
alr,
“The substances contained In smoke
are’ known to bave an ‘Injurious ef:
fect on fabrics. This explains why
curtains usually begin to weat out on
the line marked by the open sash of
the Window. Managers of large hotels
have long realized this fact, and they
have’ tueir curtains washed before
they actually begin to look soiled, in
order to remove the’ substances depo:
{ted by the smoky air,
It is said that it this practice were
generally followed In private house
holds the life of the ayrrage curtain
would be considerably lengthened.
‘That the washing of fabrics too fre
quently may not be a wise practice
Was shown by another geries of tesis,
which indicate that every washing, no
matter how careful and gentle, weak-
ens a clath somewhat,
Blaborate investigations were also
made into the various washiug ma
terials. It was found that a combina
tion of soap end washing soda Is the
best for use in laundry work. ‘This
combination weakens the cloth less
than either soap and water or soda
and water used alone.
The investigators also concluded
that one of the most Important parts
of the washing process is what they
call “selecUve treatment.” ‘This
means that each garment, should be
given just the individual treatment {t
requires, according to the delicacy of
the fabric and the degree to which it
fs soiled, whether it is washed In the
power ladndry or in the tub at howe,

Galveston, Texas, and was taken edre
of by the Cleveland Community club.
He says he was “chaperoned” to
Cleveland from the South by a Mr.
Pruitt (white), a drummer for Sears,
Roebuck & Co., Chicago, who defrayed
his expenses. “Uncle” Albert, as ev-
erybody calls him, has some harrow-
ing tales of the South to tell concern-
ing present conditions as well as those
in the past. His home was in Lynch-
burg, Va. i
Among those on the program for
the Dunbar Literary society, Tuesday
evening, at Shiloh church are: Mrs.
Grace Jordan, J. Walter Wills, Miss

others. The latter told the society,
‘Tuesday evening, how the Benjamin
Drug Co., promised him -before they
opened the store at the corner of E.
30th St. and Central Ave,, to put in “a
colored girl clerk” and then failed to
do so. Now this company has taken
over the Peoples Drug Store and

Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter of Bos-
ton, in an address at Mt. Zion Cong
church, Sunday evening, declared he
had found American prejudice to be
the greatest menace in the world and
that wherever the American white
man has gone he has carried his spirit
of hatred. Mr. Trotter said prejudice
is not aimed at an individual because
of certain short-comings, but at
| “Negro” blood however thrifty and in:
telligent a member of vae race might
be. He cautioned his hearers to be-
| ware of the “Northern freedom”? and
Said that prejudice is spreading like
‘the. spirit of materialism. ‘Referring
| to the editor of The Gazette, Mr. Trot-
ter, pausing and in a very deliberate
manner, said: “I consider Harry C.
Smith, editor of The Gazette, a proph-
et of truth pointing to the danger of
| self-expressed segregation in semi-
‘public institutions.” He urged his
hearers to stand by Editor Smith and
help him to break down prejudice.
“When we submit to one segregated
| idea, others follow us night follows
‘day, and our people in every city
town and hamlet should be extremety
vigilant and fight every form of pre-
judice,” he said. Mr, Trotter paid a
hedutitul tribute to his mother and
frequently spoke of the true demos
cratic spirit of the French people.

Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law
Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law.
Section
6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined.
6279. "Serious injury" defined.
6280. Damages in case of assault.
6281. Damages in case of lynching.
6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching.
6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another.

6287. County's right of action against member of mob.
6288. County's right of action against another county.
6289. Non-relief from prosecution.
Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into
Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to 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. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.)
Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whip, or mutilated in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.)
Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162. 5.)
Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched. If the victim is not such child, such child are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.)
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provision of representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7)
Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery has had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)
Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.)
Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.)
Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dis pursue such mob. (93 v 163 11.)
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.)
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 (Illinois) 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
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 five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned 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 should, and they must them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

Called on the Cook.
A woman envied her neighbor the possession of a cook, a veritable treasure, and actually went so far as personally to call upon the coveted cook and offer her a higher wage than she was receiving. This came to the cars of the mistress.
When next the two women met at a dinner given by a mutual friend, it was observed that the fortunate possessor of the incomparable cook did not greet the other. Said one: "Are you not acquainted with Mrs. Blank?" The other replied in a frigid tone: "No; but she sometimes calls on my cook."—Sunday Magazine.
