Why President Thomas Woodrow Wilson "Does Not Love His Fellow-Min"— Southern Democracy, Etc. New York City, May 17, 201. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir—Dr. Joseph Collins, in an altogether interesting article in the May number of the North American Review, very freely discusses "Mr. Wilson, psychologically." The outspoken declaration that "Woodrow Wilson does not love his fellow-men;" that "he loves them in the abstract but not in the flesh" furnishes food for thought, and, being a native southerner, perhaps I may be able to reason out just why it is that this southern Democratic leader has been so characterized by Dr. Collins and give the cause for, this quality in the President. In another phrase of the writings on this subject by Dr. Collins, the assertion is made that had Mr. Wilson "during the years of his spiritual growth come under the leavening influences of love of humanity" that he would have been the greatest of Americans. This absence of the necessary influence can, in my judgment, be accounted for in the fact that Mr. Wilson came up under the environment of the South of human slavery, of repression, and is a product of a Democratic party that is not democratic in the South at all. Disregardful of colored people because they are colored, first submitting them to human bondage and afterwards subjecting them to the chain gang and to peonage, southern Democracy became guilty of a brutality of sentiment as against blacks which led up to a nature which could vory readily grow into a disregard of the welfare and rights of poor whites. Hate of the Negro bird a spirit which could learn to hate other men and caused the growth of the love of mankind in the abstract and not "in the flesh." That the southern Democrat is without the right to lay claim to democracy is indisputably proven by the present political condition in the South, resulting from the machinations of existing so-called disfranchisement laws. President Wilson, himself a southern Democrat, as the would-be exponent of voice in gov- FRESH OHIO NEWS AKRON.—James Miller is a member of the "house of representatives" of the industrial republic of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. plant here. Miller was chosen over two white opportunities in open primaries, and ran for the office under protest. He now helps to guide the business destinies of 25,000 Goodyear employees, most of them white. The "legislator" introduced a co-operative store bill as one of his first official acts, and later backed a plan for better education of the employees. He is a member of several important committees, including plant sanitation, wage-scale and factory education. He is 31 years old. HILLSBORO.—Mrs. Theo.

The fol ermment for oppressed people abroad, the advocate of self-determination, appears most inconsistent when we find that Alabama, for example, with 300,000 whites and 200,000 blacks of voting age, elects a U. S. senator in 1918 on a vote of only 54,880. Those who are informed know that the intrigue of disfranchisement was triggered up and put in motion more with the object in view of eliminating the rural whites from the voting than to "get rid of the Negro," for, when these laws were thought out, the Republican-Populist fusion party was threatening the overthrow of the Democratic machines in the southern states. A great many of the white counties, the hill counties, were out of the control of the oligarchy. The result of the operations of the acts show the motive. From the White House window one can look out into the state of Virginia, having 550,000 males of voting age and yet 100,000 Democratic ballots rule that state and 250,000 whites do not vote at all! Of 179,000 males of voting age drafted from Virginia to fight for "world democracy" abroad only 200,000 of that number were voters in the Virginia "world democracy" at home. This is a direct result of the cunning and trickery of the disfranchisement laws of Mr. Wilson's Virginia southern Democracy. The reason Mr. Wilson did not have "Lincoln's heart and his own brain" is because Mr. Wilson was nurtured in an atmosphere which has taught hate of one's fellows instead of love for all men. The southern Democracy can hardly consistently supply the world with the right sort of humanitarian leadership. It must first sweep the front of its own house clown of its own political brutality before going forth to purify the political atmosphere of the world. It must first emancipate the southern people—white and colored—from the existing condition of political slavery before proffering to rescue other peoples from the rule of political autocracy.

M. E. church here, late Monday. The conference also voted a general increase in wages to ministers as follows: Presiding elders $1,200 to $1,800 yearly; elders, married $800 to $1,200 and unmarried $500 to $700. The Episcopal committee reported among assignments of bishops, that of Bishop Joshua II. Jones, Wierforce, O., to the third Episcopal district. The conference adjourned, Tuesday, after acting on the proposed revision of the church discipline with regard to amusements. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert Rightly Honored We are in receipt of intelligence that Mrs. B. Talbert of Buffalo, has been chosen one of the ten American women who will go to Norway in September to represent America in The International Council of Women Mrs. Talbert was chosen because as president, she is the representative of that fine body of colored women, all of the United States, that labor together under The National Association of Colored Women. Her daintest courage and insistent demands for the rights of her people make her the proper person. She should go with the benediction of every red-blooded colored man and woman in America. Everything necessary to make her happy and the equal of those who go along with her should be furnished by our women and men. No amount of money should be begrudged her. This fine recognition of Mrs. Talbert by the white, women stands in hold relief beside the miserable littleness of Will Hays, national chairman of Republican party. Mr. Hays doubtless listened to the colored toadies who did not have sense enough to ask recognition for their women, being so delighted at their own preferment. Certain infamous makeshifts for journals cried and screamed because their weakness was pointed out. They have never asked that a colored woman be recognized. They were too busy lauding sycophants and nonentities of the vulgar and cringing kind to think about a womanly woman. Mrs. Talbert is one among many fine women, that can do us honor at home and abroad but these fine women need not depend upon the average head of our present group of editors. The Gazette excepted, of course, to stand up for them. Men, when we ignore our women we destroy our respectability and the finest fighting machine among us. Marty Cutter, Boxing Langford, Falls Out of Ring. DETROIT. Mich., May 18.—The ten-round bout between Sam Langford of Boston and Marty Cutter of Chicago, at Windsor tonight came to a sudden and unusual termination in the third round, when Cutter, missing a wild swing at his opponent, fell through the ropes and was rendered unconscious when his head struck the edge of the floor ring. Cutter was out for over five minutes and the decision was awarded to Langford. Up to this period the contest had little to commend it, the Boston pugilist jabbing Cutler almost at will. Miss Sadie Green Dead. SALEM, O.—Miss Sadie J. Green, one of our most highly respected residents, died May 8 after several months' illness. She was well and most favorably known in Cleveland also. The funeral, last week Thursday, was largely attended. The relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the community. Holds Several Public Offices. HAMTRACK, Mich—Thos. W. Anderson was elected a member of the Board of Review on the Republican ticket in Hamtrack on April 5th. He is also water inspector of the village and clerk of the common council. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Upon Exercising His Rights—Cringing Southern School Teachers—Mrs. Mary B. Talbert Honored. In a Texas town a colored man was chosen to sit on the jury that was chosen to judge and punish crimes that had been committed as well as meet up justice to all persons contending for what they feel is right against others. The white Texas jurymen decided to throw out of the jury room this colored juror if he dared come into it while they were there. A howl was sent up against choosing a colored man to sit on the jury even though this man was a teacher in that city. To this colored man's credit, he did not run but insisted on his rights. Two things stand out in this case. First, the utter incapability of white Texans to do justice to a colored person. This entire panel of white men, that sought to intimidate this colored juror, should have been summarily dismissed and punished for its contempt of the law. These white men were not the exceptions among Texans but represent the average of them. As such, their own attitude toward right and law disqualified them for any service where the meeting out of justice was called for. These miserable excuses for men arrogated to themselves the right to insult and intimidate a colored man who doubtless was intellectually their superior, and in decency and a regard for law, was preeminently their superior master. Second, the attitude of the colored man, this school teacher, begins a new chapter in the history of colored men in the south in things touching their rights. He did not quail, neither did he truckle by saying, I will not contend for it will hurt the race. This damnable policy of relinquishing our rights in the south because we are afraid to insult the brutality of that section received a death blow at the hands of this colored teacher. The traditions of the south were smashed by him as all of their iniquitous traditions must be destroyed so far as their mistreatment of colored people is concerned. Too long have colored school teachers, in order that they may have the influence of white men to aid them in "begging money," sacrificed their manhood and the best interests of the colored people. The best thing that can happen for the race is an "installing of a better grade of teachers for the youth." Pity the colored youth of the south that must grow up at this stage of our history under cringing colored teachers that teach them white is an honor but black is a disgrace; that teach the colored boy to quail before a white boy, and if struck not to hit back. We are opposed to ruffianism and a readiness toward pugnaciousness but the time is upon us that a colored youth must hit back, not with dishrag blows but, with the strength of a giant when he is struck especially by an empty-headed kind that possesses nothing but his miserable skin. The day of peace should speedily come everywhere but not at the expense of manhood and honor. Colored men of the stamp of the Texas school-teacher should be placed on the juries all over the south. The fair-mindedness of the sheriff that placed this man on the jury is to be commended. The manly stand of the colored man is an inspiration to all. The conduct of the white jurors is a reflection on the justice of any people, and if the southern press keeps still under it, it deserves to be exacerbated. CHURCH UNION. Strenuous efforts are being put forth to bring about, the union of Protestantism in this country. We desire to qualify this statement by saying to unite white protestantism. Certain denominations have voted to unite and have sent the basis of union up to their general bodies to confirm or reject. One thing that is outstanding in this union is the domination of the SOUTHERN SPIRIT. Wherever religious bodies that have adherents of all races seek to unite with southern Christian bodies these southerners fix the basis of union. To our mind this is a travesty on religion. Southern religious bodies withdrew from their brethren of the north because they differed from them on the color-issue in religion. Southern white bodies advocated slavery and sought to retain it. Behind the southern rebellion the southern church stood unwaveringly. Since the defeat of the south the church has not progressed any faster toward the recognition of the rights, privileges and brotherly attitude to IN UNION IN STRENGTH TED! dit To The Race! Democratic South insisted His Rights—Cringing teachers—Mrs. Mary rt Honored. ward colored people than has the southern politician of the Heflin type. Any union made now, between north and south, will be made by the north taking the reactionary view of the south and not the south taking the north. Until the southern religious bodies show that they have repented for their unChristian stand in the secession strife, they should be left out. At any rate no colored people of any self-respect will accept a union in which he is not the equal of any other Christian. Any attempt to make a union by catering to the damnable whime of the south is unworthy of the Christ we serve. Until southern white clergy and church life cry out in a telling way against lynching, murder, vote-stealing and murderous treatment of women, colored Christians do not desire any union with them. To unite with them is to disunite with Christ. In making this very cutting statement we do not mean to say that there are no exceptions in the south, for there are notable ones in all communions, but they are so infinitely in the minority till they do not alter the general statement. The time is here that it is just as Christian for a capable priest be colored to minister to whites as it is for a similar priest to minister to colored. There should be only one basis of priesthood. Every man that is ordained to the ministry should be required to have the same educational qualification. There should be the same moral and spiritual qualification. This being fixed the only difference will be the accidents of race or color. These do not weigh in things religious among fair-minded Christians. Colored men who stand in places where they can defend the rights of the colored people in these unions, should spare no effort to have it understood that the only union acceptable to colored people is the one on absolute equal terms and opportunities. Our white brethren should remember that it is now time to exemplify Jesus Christ in our church life, or give it up. We do not ask that ignorant men, white or black, be placed in positions to minister to cultured saints. But we do ask that when a bishop is elected it should be on the basis of merit and ability. Ignorant men have no right to the sacred office of the bishopric. They have no right now when there is no union and it should be understood that colored Christians do not desire a union in which the ignorant leader shall be on par with the intelligent leader in governing the church. The time is now that no colored man has a right to preach who is too lazy or too dull to acquire, an education that will make him the leader of his people. This sending forth to the ministry men, who have nothing to their credit but lungs, whining, emotionalism and boisterousness, is a curse to the race and to Christ's cause. It matters not what church or denomination it may be, the minister should be the peer of any man in his community and should be able to lead spiritually and intelligently his flock however intelligent it may be. When union comes the ignorant leader should be placed on the scrap-pile be a Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian or what not. The day is now upon us when colored clergymen of all denominations should wage a relentless warfare against the "quack preachers" and disgrace the cause of religion and reflect upon the intelligence of the colored race. The reason why southern whites object to this equality in religion is due to their knowledge of the "joke colored" parson that grins around them and begs for his church. Then, too, they know that many of the colored people have no qualification for the ministry. If he can wear a long black coat, mourn and groan like a pig and cause pandemonium to reign so that women are often on the floor as upon their seats, he is the man to cavort for them, every Sabbath. This character of preacher has lowered our standing as a race among all Christian bodies. Since union is in the air, and we think it should prevail, let the colored race first purge itself of leadership, incompetency and demand leaders the peers of any race, and we shall do much toward establishing our equality in all things where the races unite. I must say to my race, we cannot rise by magnifying ignorance. We must stumble it out. Let us begin with the ignorant preacher and we shall have made a good start. --- The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .50 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or reg- istered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

The upper branch of the New Jersey Assembly has passed a civil rights law. Will the lower do so? We hope so. Former Democratic Whip Lewis says that Wilson has kept Republicans in office. Yes, where he could find a Wilson Republican or his Democratic appointees failed so miserably in the job that it became necessary to get a Republican to do the work. Now there is evidence that the Democrats will try to make the slogan "Peace or War," assuming that Republican success means war while Democratic victory means peace. Possibly they can fool the people a third time, but we think not. On every hand one is confronted with evidence of the inefficiency of the postal service, but from Denver comes an almost unbelievable story of official stupidity. A man in that city addressed a letter to a friend in Portland, Oregon. Eighteen days later it came back marked "No such post office in state named." Again he tried, carefully typewriting the address, and after fifteen days it was again returned with the same legend. A third attempt was successful. CARE FOR NEEDY FIRST. When the soldier bonus was first proposed it was estimated that it would cost in the neighborhood of a billion dollars. The idea was generally commended, and it was conceded that it would be enacted into law in the near future. As the hearings progressed, however, it became apparent that the first figures were far below the mark, and now the total bonus to be distributed is fixed at from $1,800,000,000 to $6,000,000,000. In the proportion that the estimates have increased the supporters of the measure have deserted it, until now speeches are being made against the plan on the floor of the House of Representatives at Washington, and many leading journals throughout the country are impressing upon their readers the financial disaster that will surely follow the adoption of any such plan. Party lines are obliterated in the discussion, as they should be, and concern only for the future stability of the government appears to be the controlling influence. All expressions on the subject voice appreciation for what our boys did in France, and emphasize the solemn obligation of the government to care for those incapacitated by service to provide for themselves, but the opinion seems to be rapidly spreading that the indiscriminate distribution of large sums of money to the rest should wait until the nation is on a more substantial financial footing. DALLAS, Tex.—After Charley Landale, William Long and Tom Lacey, (white), charged with having led the mob that lynched Clifton Jennings, on July 24, 1919, had entered pleas of guilty to charges of manslaughter, the trial judge sentenced them to two years each and immediately suspended the sentences, turning the murderers loose. The first trial of the cases resulted in the jury failing to agree on a verdict. Given Life Sentences. CAMP GRANT.

Byrd on Political Liars and What We Want and Need—The Madden Bill Another Presidential campaign is now upon us. Aspirants for the presidency are fighting hard for delegates. The curse of the Republican primaries is the unholy fight for southern delegates some of whom are a stench in the nostrils of decent voters. Infamous hypocrisy lies back of this using office-seeking colored and white southerners to nominate candidates but exclude them from having anything to do with the election of the candidate nominated. This Republican bluff and diabolical catering to the whims of Bolshevistic Demo- that oppose the dirty deals being given them by the government, does not at all scare us. Negroes should be fighters until dishonest white men who have the government in control give them the rights of American citizens. The real Reds in this country are the lieing politicians in and out of office. This "Red Business" if 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 1920 cratic southerners make the Republican party as desirable 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 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 reenslavement. 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 that are without substance and his party sits by and allows him to be analtreated 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 seize if it were possible to give it to resting place there. In spite of these rank betrayals the colored vote 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 the goods must be given us in advance. Not money, but planks in the party platform that will allow the world to that colored people will receive in the south every right that any other in the society receives. If the Republican party has become an anly of the Democratic party in the south, but shouting loudly its hostility towards the Democratic party 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 Bald, lie if they tell you 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 libertyl The victorious habit of calling men Bolshevists. Dr. Wm. A. Byrd. TUBERCULOSIS It was when physicians said it was impossible for J. M. Miller, Ohio Druggist to survive the ravages of Tuberculosis, he began experimenting on himself with the Treatment, known as A D D I LINE. Anyone with coughs showing tubercular tendency or your name and address FAMILY, OHIO that oppose the dirty deals being given them by the government, does not at all scare us. Negroes should be fighters until dishonest white men who have the government in control give them the rights of American citizens. The real Reds in this country are the lieing 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 face a firing squad because of their betrayal of their own liberties. It is infamy to be loyal to men who misrepresent the American government. Let the world know that Colored Americans are dissatisfied. (REV.) Wm. A. BYRD THE POLITICAL POT The presidential fight down in Ohio, especially as it affects the brethren, appears to be getting real warm. Ralph W. Tyler, the well known correspondent and former auditor of the navy, is charged by one of our brother editors with having accepted one hundred dollars of Senator Harding's change, in order that he might come to the Lincoln League convention and "hiller" loud and long for Ohio's favorite son. From the evidence at hand it appears that Brother Tyler attempted to tap 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 charges were first made against Ohio's veteran correspondent it was dourdied 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 delecti was established. Being a friend of Ralph Tyler it is here suggested that the best way to do this dilemma would be to 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 it. A political fight 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. Don't Tyler write Letters. Brother Tyler will no doubt learn from this bit of experience that it is a danger that they 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 save the time he spent in the city. Probably he was silently boosting Senator Harding. CURED HER FITS Mrs. Paul Gram, residing at 916 Fourth Street, Milwaukee, Wis., recently gave out the following statement: "I had suffered with Fits (Epilepsy) for over fourteen years. Doctors and medicine did me no good. It seemed that I was beyond all hope of relief, when at last I secured a preparation that cured me sound and well. Over ten years have passed and the attacks have not returned. I wish everyone who suffers from this terrible disease would write to L. Lepso, 1941 Island Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis., and ask for a bottle of the same kind of medicine which he gave me. He has generously promised to send it prepaid, free, to anyone who writes him."-Adv.

Have you ever heard a fellow, even a "Gold-Dust Twin," who was limping along so painfully all could see it, bragging about how he was running?

We do not see how he can do it soon, now that the campaign is over. It is said Williams was purchasing that auto from Bowman, treasurer of the B. W. Realty Co. Best for the blood—Puro herbs!
