WHY NOT JOHNSON AND VARDAMAN? Special to The Gazette. NEW YORK—The N. Y. Evening Journal, May 20, prints some very interesting Johnson presidential propaganda, which has all the ear marks of press human stuff and appears in a newspaper that has been boosting Senator Johnson for nomination on the Republican ticket for months. Upon reading this article, I wonder why not make the ticket Johnson and Vardaman, or Vardaman and Johnson? For a Republican U. S. Senator, who seeks the nomination for President on the Republican ticket, to remain silent to the arguments of the southern Democracy upon constitutional democracy in the South is bad enough, but for him to be openly endorsed for his requisition in the lynching of voice in government perpetrated by southern Democracy and by Vardaman, at that, is certainly going the limit. Vardaman is the southern Democrat who and of Booker Washington: "I have more respect for the coconut headed cone who blacks my host than I have for Booker Washington." This remark evidenced his sentiment toward Negro progress in particular and toward Negro people in general. I deny that either Vardaman or southern Democracy speaks for the southern people or represent them, for the southern Democracy is an oligarchy which sits in power over the southern people on a vote of no more than one-third of the whites. The Democracy of the South exercises power through suppression and repression and oppression. There is no more of real democracy in the South than there is of old-time religion in hell or of southern Democrats in heaven. As to the Negro in the South, he was good enough to buy Liberty Bonds and do war work, to go abroad and fight for world democracy, and to return to the South of political slavery and he told to "get out of that uniform nigger" and then and there to become submissive to all the wrongs which southern Democracy may hemp up him. This, too, without any Republican of the Senator Johnson type to champion the cause of human justice as the Vardaman Democracy of the South proceeds unrestrained in its persecution of the Negro of that section. There is now a Negro minister working on the chaiungin in Mississippi for being an agent of a New York Colored magazine which is supported by many lead- 1914 M. HON. JOSEPH C. MANNING, --- HON. C. L.

MANNING. 1910 --- JAMES COKER, BOX 7 SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS How Our Burden is Made Heavier—"Religious" Ignoramuses and Their Noise and Leaders. Special to The Gazette. No other race in the world has so stupendous a burden resting upon it that he the black race. Designled the white race, especially in America has and is now trying to convince the world that the black race is unfit for the family of races as an associate on equal terms. The monumental sin of the times, is the attempt by whites to show that blacks are inferior and to do this, the blacks are denied the safeguards and protection of government as well as the civilizing influences of education in many portions of the country. Wicked hostility meet the black man on every road he travel, excepting that of a servant and a fool. America is now seeking to poison the world of nations against the black man of America. In this attempt a being propaganda has been inaugurated and a publicity program entered into that permeates everything. The white liar of America is the black man's "lugo." Very shrewdly is this lago gathering around him black sycophants, dollarists and craven tools, to aid the Assinine forces of America in holding down, practically in slavery, the major portion of the colored race in this country. The educational funds of America for the black man have been syndicated. The syndicate pours out where it will produce weaklings and truckling tools to continue the regime of wickedness now dominant in the South. Churches are opened in the North, East and West to these infamous black traitors to preach their doctrine of submission and "showing the white race that we are worthy." The truckling tories of color, are used in the South to cower the colored youth that desires manhood and they are despatched to the North to persuade the North to follow the attitude of the South. These same trucklers are saying to the world, "we are the spokesmen of the Negro race; we live in the south where we teach our people not to irritate the white His Headquarters Invite Expense Inquity, and Approves Move to Investigate Primary Campaign Costs. COLUMBUS, O.-Harding state headquarters has placed its stamp of approval on the senate action on the Borah resolution asking an investigation into campaign expenditures of presidential candidates. "The resolution will have the approval of all persons who cherish the principles of our representative form of government and who believe the selection of a candidate for president should be free from the corrupting influences resulting from the expenditure of an excessive amount of money or from money, procured from questionable sources. The management of the Harding candidacy has at all times invited the closest scrutiny of all receipts and expenditures. Complying with the laws of Ohio, a correct and truthful statement was filed covering the operations in the interest of the Harding candidacy in this state. This statement was not camoufaged by omissions amounting to thousands of dollars alleged to have been expended by another committee located in another state and outside of the pale of the Ohio laws," the statement says. Harding campaign expenses in Ohio were about $17,000, according to the statement filed with Secretary of State Harryey C. Smith. Harding headquarters has also received word from former Congressman W. Aubrey Thomas that five of the Alabama delegates chosen at the state convention, last week Wednesday, were for the Ohio senator, and that four were for either Harding or Lowden, with no preference expressed. Thomas said further that Harding would have half the Missouri delegation, the balance, naming hm as their second choice, and that 100 western delegates could be counted upon for their support. Bought Ten Buildings. WASHINGTON, D. C.-At a recent sale of unused buildings at the Naval Proving Ground at Indian Head, Maryland, Samuel Freeman, one of the colored employees, purchased ten buildings, erected during the war for the housing of laborers.

Southern whites are in every community in the North and they take up that doctrine and spread it privately in all of their associations. The attempt is now being made to give the black man, the world over, the treatment that the South accords him. Wickedly strange, some black southern traitors are at the head of this movement. Of course this will fail, if every able-bodied black man of the country, outside of the South, must die in fighting to the limit this insidious evil. In fighting it, we spare not white liar nor black traitor. Then, too, our burden grows heavier by the coming into fair-minded communities of the North colored people from the jungles of the South who have been denied the civilizing influences of the South, and to all purposes they are more ignorant than children. With this ignorance goes prejudice, and hate. They bring a religion of noise, emotions, spasms, and ignorance. They are establishing little churches, rather "store dens," everywhere, and are having as their preacher some of the most dangerous crooks of the black race. Into a land where compulsory education is required, comes an immigrant with his religious teachers (?) deverging education and forcing upon neighbors a kind of bodium that is repulsive and damning. Their appearance on the streets, their sanitary surroundings and their decorum in public places, drive from them people of refinement and culture. But these are black people. They belong to us and it is our burden to uplift them! We must not be cowards! We must fight their ignorance and, in spite of them, place them in the hands of competent leaders. Especially must we take care of the young. These young boys and girls of black people must be given a fair chance. Take up then the black man's burden and help him! Having Relation to the Republican National Convention. FORT WORTH, Tex.-More than one-third of the population of Texas is found in the rich corn, wheat, cotton, oil and cattle country within 150 miles of this friendly southern city of easy-going enterprise. Here in Fort Worth lives "Gooseneck Bill" McDonald, banker and populist with both blacks and whites. I soon ascertained that the basis of the "Goose-Neck Bill" popularity with the whites was his views with relation to color. He thinks our southern people should segregate socially, but affiliate politically. He is an ardent Republican and wants his race to have permanent representation in the party. Right now that is being denied by the clique in charge of its Texas machinery. Hence Bill will probably figure in the Chicago convention for his aspiration fit into the plans of certain white Republicans. The head of the Texas "illy whites" (half Democrats) is H. P. McGregor, of Houston, who used to be a "black and tan" Republican and rode into power during the 1912 Chicago convention with the Taft delegation that unstealed the Roosevelt delegation. McGregor's present associates include W. P. Gage, of Dallas; Charles W. Boynton, of Waco; Sam Davidson and Charles C. Littleton, of Fort Worth, all white, of course. Leaders of the rival wing seeking to give themselves, and our Texas people a place in the Chicago delegation, are Col. Edward H. Green, son of the late Hetty Green: Edward McCarthy, of Galveston, and Harry Beck, of Dallas, all white. They are known as the "black and tan" Republicans. Leaves Estate to Her White "Son." PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Miss Mary Waters, a former slave from Virginia, saved her money. She died here recently and willed her entire estate to the white grandson of her former master. She lived at 3 Butler Ave., and was reputed to be 93 years old. The sole beneficiary is George E. Newcomb (white), a lion tamer in a fireus, whom she reared and educated when he became an orphan at the age of 4 years. He will disposes of a $1,200 account $109 in goods and the 100 house in which she died.

SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1920. Have you noticed the steady growth of Senator Warren G. Harding's candidacy for the Republican nomination for President? That $100 Harding-Daugherty-Lincoln-League-convention check seems to have driven Ralp Tyler from the city of Cleveland. Good riddance! Vardaman's recommendation of the candidacy of Senator Hiram Johnson, ought to and doubtless will kill it. The "nerve" of that blatant Negro-hating southern Democratic U. S. senator is astounding. Less than eight years after the Progressive party leaders, Wood, Johnson and others, helped Roosevelt defeat and almost kill the Republican party they are candidates for the presidential nomination of the party. "Can you beat it"? Vardaman "nerve." The "illy-whitees" of Georgia, Florida, Texas and other southern states are entitled to what the Republican National Committee gave their brethren of Louisiana, many months ago—a good "turn-down," and here is hoping that they all get it in Chicago, next month. If the party is to succeed, this fall, "illy-whiteism" must be stamped out, and thoroly, too. "American soldiers of occupation," in Haiti, are rivaling the German soldiers in France and Belgium during the World War, when it comes to outraging native women and children of tender years, according to Rev. S. E Churchstone-Lord of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. A delegation should carry this news to President Thomas Woodrow Wilson. Every four years, just prior to the meeting of the Republican National Committee, the "illy-whitees" of the South, mostly Democrats who want to control the offices in their several states in event of the election of a Republican president, hob up with the same old moth-eaten story about "the states' party management and from the Republican nominee with the votes of dissatisfied Democrats, if the Negro is eliminated from their opportunity to carry their states for their delegations to the Republican national convention." HOW_SILLY! The sixteenth race paper to die in Cleveland since the advent of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, Aug. 25, 1882, is the "Daily" Colored American which "passed out," last week. NEXT: its "editor," "Prof. Stracona Williams," alias "Rothwell Hector Dean," alias etc., etc., who, it is said, "stung" Ormond Forte and others when in this city, a wear or two ago, and for whom $3,000 bail had not been secured when we last inquired, was still languishing in the county jail on that charge of embezzlement. These are hard days indeed for the "professor, editor, and president of the Negro Chamber of Commerce and Booker Washington Realty Co." MORE . FOOD-LOWER PRICES Secretary Houston predicts that prices will come down, but not immediately. Prices are high, he says, because of the abnormal demand created by the war, together with some profiteering. In prophesying that they will be lower, Mr. Houston assumes that industries will continue to operate and that eventually the supply will catch up with the demand. That will be true only if labor continues to produce, and refrains from strikes. If every able-bodied man were to give a good day's work in return for a good day's pay, the law of supply and demand would soon bring about a reduction in the cost of living. MORTON—A REAL AMERICAN. Levi P. Morton died on his ninety-sixth birthday. He was a real American, being a direct descendant of one of the leaders of the Pilgrims, and early in life espousing the Republican cause which he recognized as containing the doctrines essential to his country's prosperity and happiness. He was eminently successful in business, but he found time to give of his energy and ability toward the affairs of the nation itself. In 1879 he was elected a Republican member of the 46th Congress from his home district in New York. In 1881 President Garfield appointed him Minister to France. In 1889 he was elected Vice President of the United States on the ticket with President Harrison. At the expiration of his term Mr. Morton still considered himself at the service of his fellow citizens, and in 1895 served them as Governor of the State of New York. In late years Mr. Morton made his winter home at Washington, where he could observe at close range the operations of the National Government, in which he maintained an intense interest to the last. TYLER'S "WOOD" FINANCES. The report of the Ohio Leonard Wood Colored Republican club, headquarters, Columbus, filed with the Secretary of State at Columbus last week, showed among others the following expenditures: R. W. Tyler, $150; Rev. Geo. L. Davis and Rev. J. W. Carter, $100 each; Jas. Wroints, $50; all of Columbus; Ormond Forte, $100; Kemper C. Young, W. J. Martin and D. L. Fenton, $10 each; Thomas Green', $5; all of Cleveland. R. W. Tyler's bill "for sign-painting, rent of quarters, stationery, stamps, clerks and other things, called for $749. Other help in different parts of the state, including Columbus and Cleveland, $723.92; all $1572.92. A note on the back of this statement reads: "$25.08 remaining in the treasury." GRAND TOTAL, $1598. The Leonard Wood campaign in Ohio certainly cost real money and a plenty of it. There were a number of Wood "workers" of color (ministers and others) here in this city who were employed by the local Leonard Wood headquarters. They would not, of course, be included in the report given in the foregoing but in a separate one. It is said they received $5 a day for a stated period, possibly two or three weeks. It will be remembered that Tyler started out as a supporter of Senator Harding, received that check for $100 and then "ducked" to Wood. More anon! Additional Locals P. W. A. Vesper service was conducted Sunday by Miss Mabel Harris. The Misses Maxwell and Floyd sang a duet; Mr. Carl Weaver, a solo and Miss Olive Lesley, of the Red Cross teaching center, gave an interesting talk on her work and many experiences in France. The last Vesper service for this season will be Sunday at 4 P. M. We want to thank the public for cooperating with us during the past season and invite you to be with us, Sunday, to hear the program to be rendered by The Altegro club of Antioch church. June 18, the P. W. A. will open a fresh air camp for girls between the ages of 10 and 16, at West Dover (near Ridgeville). For information concerning registration, rates, etc., inquire at the office. George A. Sisco returned to Cleveland, recently very much pleased with his trip to the 25th annual convention of the American Eduction of Musicians in Pittsburgh. He represented local No. 550 of Cleveland. Other race representatives were: James P. Jones and M. D. Lucas, Columbus; James H. Lee and George Dawson, Philadelphia; Tiford Davis, Kansas City; A. A. Simms, St. Louis; Charles Elgar, George A. Smith and Hugh C. Swift, Chicago; Charles Swayne, Buffalo; William Smith, Boston; Alex Stevens, Baltimore. President Weber (white) showed proper consideration of our delegates, who were treated the same as all others, after the convention by motion threatened to resort to extreme measures against the Hotel William Penn, reported to have discriminated against some of our delegates. Next meeting at St. Paul, Miln, 1921. In the capture of a man for an attack on Mrs. Mary Levine, Orange Ave., police believed, Monday, they had found a solution to the series of assaults on white women in their homes by another bad Negro (prowler) during several months past. He was bound over to the grand jury upon testimony of the woman. Nearly a score of women who have seen the prowler and who have succeeded in beating him off were called to appear at detective headquarters in an effort to identify him. The man, arrested in his home, Sunday, by Delectives Sinek and Conroy who picked him out by descriptions furnished by the women and followed him to his residence, was identified by Mrs. Levine and formally charged with an attack on her. The man gave his name as Henry Prior, twenty years old. He lived at 2340 E. 33d St. Mrs. Levine said she found the prowler in her kitchen when she returned to her home on the afternoon of May 14. The man leveled a revolver at her head and ordered her to keep quiet. Instead she screamed and ran into another part of the house. The intruder fled. Stories of women in almost all of the score of other appearances of the prowler have been similar. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. OHIO. MAY 29. 1920.

C.—"The man who would get the largest popular vote in America—probably two millions more than any other man—is Hiram Johnson, of California." So runs an article written by former Senator J. K. Vardaman, of Mississippi, in Vardaman's Weekly. Continuing, the Senator said: "If the Republicans should nominate Johnson in spite of the opposition of the money power, Johnson will be elected, and the United States will have, notwithstanding he is a Republican in name, a better Democrat for President than it had during the administration of either Cleveland or Wilson. There is another thing the South should think about. If Johnson is elected, we need not fear him on the race question. He has a race question in the West which will insure his sympathy with the white people of the southern States. President Wilson is not a Democrat. For his perfidious betrayal of the Democratic party and policies, the party will have to suffer." AN ALGERIAN HERO. E. LIVERPOOL, O.—John Doden, aged 19, an Algerian, of Bordeaux, France, suffering from wounds received while in service with the French army during the entire four years of the war, was admitted to the city hospital, last week Thursday. Through confusion at the time our troops embarked for this country, following the signing of the armistice, the young French-African was taken to New York. Shortly after, through a mistake in the service records, he was discharged under the name of an American slidier who was in a French hospital at the time. Young Doden, who speaks French only, secured employment at one of the plants of the Pittsburgh Crucible Steel company, Midland, about two months ago. Through hard labor a wound in his side was reopened causing him to be unfit for work. After being treated Doden was sent to Pittsburgh. "Kept Us Out Of."

C.-According to statements sent broadcast by Rev. S. E. Churchstone-Lord, pastor of the A. M. E. church, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, here to attend the general conference, held at St. Louis, white American soldiers are sending a reign of terror throughout the republic and attempting to beat the Haitians into submission. The most serious charge preferred against them is that on one night nine little Haitian girls, ranging in ages from 8 to 12, died as a result of being criminally assaulted. The further charge is made that members of the native constabulary are compelled by the white American officers to procure native women for use of the whites as concubines.

Two others are detained in connection with the case. Threats of violence, during Saturday and Sunday, caused the officials to make this move. J.

ATLHATA, GEORGIA R ELIABLE SHOES IN A ELIABLE STORE AT ELIABLE PRICES Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, but Give It to a Friend or an Acquaintance who Might Subscribe after Reading a Copy of It A Juror A Credit To The Race! 'Though in the Democratic South He Insisted 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 out 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 deceency 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 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 crenging colored teachers that teach them white is an honor but 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 disdrag 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 stump of the Texas as school-teacher should be placed on the juries all over the south. The fairmindedness 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 excercised. 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 dauntless 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 out in bold relief 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. CHURCH UNION. Strenuous efforts are being put forth to bring about the union of Protestantism in this country. We Don't Throw It to a Frier 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 southernists fix the basis of union. To our mind this religion is unjust. 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 threat has not progressed any faster toward the recognition of the rights, privileges and brotherly attitude toward colored people than has the southern politician of the Helfin 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's. 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 cater to the damnable whims 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 colored 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 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 he 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 absolute equal terms and opportunities. Our white brethren should 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. Bantist, 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" that disgrace the cause of religion and reflect upon the intelligence of the colored white object to this knowledge of the "joke colored parson" that grinds 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 greet a life, and cause pandemonium to rejoin so that women are as 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 marring grenomies. We must steer it out. I must begin with the ignorant preacher and we shall have made a good start. (Rev.) WM. A. BYRD. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MAY 29, 1920 Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Leads the Country in Legislation Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race —Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. 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, it took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times uphold 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 Section 6278. 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.

Section 6287.

(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.) Upon the request of many readers text of Hon. Harry Smith, 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 be ed. 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. 1294. 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 accommodations, enjoyment of the accommodation, management facility or privileges thereof, will be fine not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or 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 should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Beaten to Death! WOODVILLE, Tex.—As a result of a brutal flogging administered by white brutes who objected to him addressing a pal of theirs without using the word "Mr," Charles Arline's body was terribly manged in this city, last week. Over forty unmasked white brutes seized him, tied his hands to a post and applied the lash. Some in the party used broken glass bottles and cut Arline's body into ribbons. He bled to death while the crowd pounded him. The man who accused Arline of "improperly" addressing him is said to be one Wesley Mills (white), a "cracker." Would Curtail Lynnelling. WASHINGTON, D. C.—An anti-lynching bill was reported by the house judiciary committee and placed on the calendar for early consideration. Under the measure any resident would be entitled to appeal to federal courts for protection on the ground that he had reasonable cause to believe that equal protection of the laws would be denied him in state courts. Participants in mobs would be subject to fine and imprisonment, and counties in which lynchings occur would be subject to a forfeiture of $10,000.

REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING 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 information. It's a good time to "give awake."

It was calling day at the St. Francis. Two ladies in summer silks made their way to the counter in the hotel office, presented their cards to Clerk O'Connell and asked to have them sent to a certain lady who is a permanent guest at the big caravansary on Union Square. O'Connell called up the room on the phone and repeated the names on the cards. "Tell those ladies I am not at home." was the message that came in reply. Three minutes later O'Connell was called to the phone. The lady who was not at home was talking. BORNEO WATERMILK DR. FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER 3195 A DAINTY FROCK Pattern 3195 is here portrayed.
