A. B.
Member of the Ohio Legislature for Three Terms (six years), Files as a Candidate for Republican Nomination for Secretary of State—His Statement.
COLUMBUS, O.—For more than thirty years, Ohio Afro-Americans have wanted a candidate for a state office. Many years ago they asked the nomination of clerk of the state supreme court (the smallest state office) at the hands of the Republican party of Ohio and were refused as before and since that time. This left our voters practically helpless because all nominations were made in state conventions and we were unable to get a majority vote in any of them to give us what we wanted and were entitled to. Now it is different! One has only to secure the signatures of five reputable Republicans who know him and are willing to attest his Republicanism, etc., pay the fee of $25 and file the paper with the secretary of state before the time-limit, to stand as a candidate for the nomination. This the editor of The Gazette did, the week of June 14, 20, accompanied by Captain and Attorney Leroy H. Godman, (as a witness), another, "stout" Harding supporter during the trying days preceding the recent state primary when Ralph Wilberga Tyler of this city was "shelling" the Harding "breastworks" with "lily-white" Texas and other stories for which there was absolutely no foundation in fact. There are over 100,000 Afro-American voters in this state now. If (with his white friends) two thirds of them will vote for Harry C. Smith and not Harvey C. Smith or Harold C. Smith or Charles Q. Hildebrant, the other candidates for the office, the editor of The Gazette will be triumphantly nominated on August 10, and this presidential year a Republican nomination in Ohio means election in November. For the first time in the history of our people of this state, we have a candidate for a state office and what is more to the point is the fact that our people of Ohio have votes enough to win the nomination for the office if they will but be loyal to their own and VOTE on August 10 next. Will they do it? We shall soon see.
The Editor's Statement.
Columbus, O., June 11-'20. In filing for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, I do so without having had any conferences at any time with any of the leaders or others of the various factions of the Republican party in the state of Ohio. None of them know of this action of mine, the result of conferences held today with a few of the leading members of my race in Cleveland and Columbus. All feel that the present Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith's persistent refusal, for nearly two years, to give my people the clerical representation in that office they have held under every other Republican Secretary of State for many years, except Charles Q. Hildebrant, makes it absolutely necessary that some one of my people should enter the contest. Acquiescing in their view of the matter, I decided to enter and have done so!
There are now between one hundred and one hundred and twenty-five thousand colored voters in this state, almost to a man, Republicans. Instead of diminishing the meager representation heretofore allotted them (as have office-holders of the party like Secretaries of State Smith and Hilderbrand) it should have been on the increase for years: Intelligent colored voters of Ohio have reached the limit of their endurance in this matter, and in this primary contest propose to serve notice in a practical way on Secretary of State Smith and all other neglectful office-holders and members of the party that there must come an immediate change for the better or intelligent colored voters will carry their fight into the elections.

And "Turned Down"—His "Rider" Killed Three Board Members Appointed Neval H. Thomas Active.
Special to The Gazette
Washington, D. C.—Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook was re-appointed, for a third term, to the board of education by the District Supreme Court, last week Tuesday. Her two white colleagues, Dr. Abraham Simon and Dr. H. Barrett Learned, were re-appointed also. Mrs. Cook is the only member of the board who has received the honor, three consecutive times, in the history of the District. These appointments are construed as a distinct slap at Senator Harrison from Mississippi and the colored Parents League which had attacked the board and its policy. The Senator in the closing hours of congress had secured the passage of a rider in the urgency: deficiency bill abolishing the board of education, and emasculating the colored officials of the schools, and placing supreme power in the hands of the white superintendent who had shown himself entirely out of sympathy, with the colored schools. He had opposed all of the constructive measures of Superintendent Bruce, neglected to invite him to congressional committees when school's estimates were being decided upon and would not ask for colored items himself, and opposed equality of salary for white and colored school officers. Neval H. Thomas attacked him a number of times for his discrimination and incurred his severe dislike. This rider lodged the appointing power of the new board in the president of the United States.
Denounces the Malicious "France"
Stories Circulated in This Country
Against the Principal of Tuskegee
(Aln.) Institute.
According to recent information, the much heralded reports of what Principal Moton of Tuskegee should have advised soldiers of color in France about returning to America and accepting whatever might be given them have been proved a booming. Worst still, it appears that it was a part of a propaganda to discredit Dr. Moton and thereby drive him out of Tuskegee. Many of us on hearing the many unnily things attributed to him felt that he had done dishonor to himself and the colored people everywhere and feeling as we did we failed not in condemning him in the strongest terms. Having recently heard Mr. Moton deliver an address to colored young men who had graduated from college, we are of the opinion that he could not have said what has been attributed to him. The very many statements uttered by him before representatives of all races show that he is fearless yet discreet, courageous yet diplomatic and determined, yet accomplishing his purposes in a wise way. We stand unalterably opposed to any man that would deny the colored race full American rights and we further challenge any man to show one instance where we have faltered in our stand which we have later laboring in the south with as much fervor and wide publicity as we hold now while in the north. Tuskegee, properly handled, is one of the most potent factors in the development of the colored race. Under a wise leadership it can do tremendous good. We feel now that under Major Moton it will meet the ends sought. To attempt to discredit him, is infamous when it is a part of a malicious propaganda. We may dislike a man and his way of doing things, but we demand for our enemies fair play. We pledged Major Moton our support when he took up the work at Tuskegee but, hearing the many things said about his weakening on the race issue and seeing many things published which were not denied, we could not uphold him in what we felt was a betrayal of the race. We are glad to know that the published and spoken things were not true. The friends of Major Moton, who are in many respects friends because they hope to use him for their purposes, should have corrected in a manly way these misrepresentations. Friendship that is mercenary is worth but little. We have no fight against any man who is working to bring about real Negro freedom in rights and privileges. We realize however that these rights and privileges must be achieved in the south by tact and wisdom. The colored race as such has not sought these rights. It has not educated itself and especially its leadership so as to disarm prejudice
The colored people knew that Mr. Wilson would appoint no colored members, so they opposed the change. The president appointing power, the District Supreme Court, gives us three members, a third of the board membership. Neval H. Thomas rushed to the capitol to urge the conferences from the House to oppose the amendment: Congressmen Dallinger of Massachusetts, Fess of Ohio, Dyer of Missouri, and Madden of Chicago, took up the case vigorously since it affected the colored people so vitally. The District Commissioner and other influential white citizens opposed the rider also, and it was knocked out. Senator Harrison held up the pressing business of the senate for two hours trying to get it to insist upon the retention of the rider in the bill, but without success. The Court immediately showed its rebuke of the league and the gentleman of Mississippi by renaming the three board members, and the full board showed its determination not to be intimidated by immediately notifying the white superintendent, that he could not be retained. The Parents League is still fighting for the retention of the white superintendent, however. President John VanSchaick, Jr., of the board of education, is determined to give Washington an educational leader, and one that will have the interest of all of the children, at heart. Mrs. Cook is the colored member of the committee appointed to select a new superintendent. Good!
and call forth admiration. It is not enough to clamor for rights, but we must also manifest the ability and power to use these intelligently. While we disapprove of the unfairness of southern whites toward colored people in many of the essentials of our American life we also disapprove of the attitude of the colored people to receive these superior rights when they have as a mass not prepared themselves for them. A high regard for virtue, a thirst after education so that one is willing to make sacrifices for it, and a comprehension of our form of government so that we may handle the franchise intelligently are indispensable to us in our fight. Our rise in civic and spiritual virtues will do more to disarm prejudice and open the gates to real liberty in the south than anything else. The consciousness of the best whites, even though they are too few, must be aroused and the alliance of the best of both races is paramount, if we would win this fight in a bloodless way. Migration to the north is helping but it is also transferring the problem from the south to the north. The immigrants that are coming to the north are making the sad mistake of attempting to bring the habits, prejudices and customs of the south with them. Coming to the north they show no real desire to acquire an education. Their attitude is hostile toward any white face. This will not do. We must have an era of good will both in the north and south and he is an enemy that destroys this good will. Major Moton is trying to do his part toward this era of good will. We shall stand by him. Our attitude is not on what we have heard but what we know.
EDITOR SMITH IN CITY.
(From The Chicago Defender.)
Hon Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio, was the guest this week of Prof. and Mrs. Henderson Smith of 2322 Calumet avenue. Mr. Smith was the Race's first deputy state oil inspector and for three terms (six years) was a member of the Ohio legislature. He is the father of Ohio's anti-lynching law and Ohio's civil rights law and the first man of either race in this country to secure the passage of an effective mob violence law. Our Illinois anti-lynching law is much like it. Mr. Smith called on the Defender to see his friend, Editor Abbott. He was here in the interest of the candidacy of Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, a former colleague of his in the Ohio legislature in 1900 when ex-Governor Frank B. Willis and ex-Congressman Ralph D. Cole, the next governor of Ohio, were also members.
Robert O'Neil, E. 27th St., pleaded not guilty before Judge Kennedy, Wednesday, to an indictment charging him with first degree murder. Police said he killed his wife, Hattie O'Neil, by cutting her throat. May 20.

"HOW COLORED, OHIO REGARDS WARREN G. HARDING."
Ohio has become one of the great casions, in public speech and pivotal states, politically, looked to wise, in years gone by, made with anxious eyes by both parties in his friendly attitude toward a national campaigns.
Born in Ohio, schooled in Ohio, a for them which it is not neces reporter in Ohio, newspaper publisher enumerate at this time. One in Ohio, state senator in Ohio, lieuten-sure and that is, our people t ant governor in Ohio, United States out the country will make no senator from Ohio—Warren G. Hard- in giving the standard-bearer of Marion has Ohio lineage that great Republican party, this gives him caste. And that counts, their most, enthusiastic and a Senator Harding is undoubtedly the ed support. choice of the Republicans of his home Knowing him so well for the state for the presidency.
Blooming Grove, Morrow county, O., was the birthplace of Warren G. Harding. He was born, Nov. 2, 1865. After being graduated from Iberia college, he entered a law office in Marion as a student, became a reporter, later took over a newspaper plant, and became head of the Marion Star. He served twice in the Ohio senate and one term as lieutenant governor. He was the Republican candidate for governor in 1910; but Judson Harmon defiled him. Mr. Harding was elected to the senate in 1914. Four years ago he was a delegate-at-large to the Republican national convention, and was the temporary and permanent chairman and keynote orator. How Senator Harding was triumphantly nominated, last week, for the Presidency by the Chicago Republican National Convention has been so thorouly covered by the daily press of the country, and discussed by nearly everyone, that it is not necessary to repeat at this time. As a matter of fact, The Gazette predicted it, editorially, last week. What our people, the country over wish to know, judging from numerous letters received, this week, is answered in the letter to our conferee, of the Baltimore Afro-American which follows:
Cleveland, Ohio, June 14, 1920.
Editor Afro-American, 628 Eutaw St.
Baltimore, Md.
Dear Sir and Friend--In answer to your question as to "How Colored Ohio regards Warren G. Harding," I desire to say that we regard him most favorably indeed and will support him with an enthusiasm greater than that, which obtained in the case of any other Ohio candidate for the Presidency.
Of all the candidates for the Republican nomination for the Presidency, at the Republican Convention held in Chicago, last week, Senator Warren G. Harding, as far as I have been able to learn, is the only one who has been consistently friendly to our people throughout his public career and private life and has also done something material for "the good and welfare" of the race.
"When a member of the Ohio Assembly in 1900, State Senator Warren G. Harding was a colleague of the writer," Frequently during that session of the Ohio Legislature I found it necessary to ask his vote and support for measures of prime if not vital interest to my people of this state. In every instance he willingly complied and, too, without the usual interrogation and argument. Nor was it ever necessary for me to repeat my request for his promised vote and support. This is what I call material assistance and better evidence of a true friendship for the race than any other candidate before last week's Chicago Convention is able to produce, as far as I have been able to ascertain.
Of course Senator Harding, like most public men, has on many occ

cases, in public speech and otherwise, in years gone by, made known his friendly attitude toward our people and has done many other things for them which it is not necessary to enumerate at this time. One thing sure and that is, our people throughout the country will make no mistake in giving the standard-bearer of the great Republican party, this fall, their most enthusiastic and undivided support. Knowing him so well for the past twenty years, I feel safe, in saying that he will make the best "President for all the people of this country, especially ours, the United States of America has had since the days of Presidents Lincoln and Grant. With apologies to the late President Roosevelt, I wish to say in conclusion that "Colored Ohio" en masse is simply "de-lighted" as a result of the nomination for the Presidency of Ohio's favorite son, Senator Warren G. Harding.
Yours for Republican success in November.

Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Prop. The Gazette,
Cleveland, Ohio.
My dear Mr. Smith: I have been intending to write to you for some time and utter to you an expression of my grateful appreciation of the cordial support which you gave to me during the political activities preceding the Presidential Primary in Ohio. The Gazette was eminently fair in all its references, and the campaign, so far as I was concerned, was a wonderfully helpful influence in having my position fully understood by its large list of devoted readers.
Nothing can be more harmful in preventing the colored citizen from coming into his full influence as a vote than the prejudiced appeal, which is often made by self-assumed leaders who are more concerned with their own personal advantages than they are the good of the Party.
I have always known The Gazette
to be eminently fair and abidingly
truthful.
Warren G. Harding.

HARDING AND COOLIDGE.
We congratulate Senator Harding on his nomination for the presidency. In 1912, we supported Theodore Roosevelt because we felt he represented the best in politics. During the Presidential primaries we supported Senator Harding because we felt he was the best man for the place. We rejoice with Senator Harding that he and we are vindicated in our opinions, and here is to his election. We dedicate ourselves unreservedly to his election. Never in the history of any nation was there a greater need for a wise and safe president as is now in America. The political effluvia, that arises at Washington under the present regime, is sickening and deadly and should be removed. The Republican party should come into power to insure the nation against loss and chags. Harding and Coolidge represent the highest in American ideals. The country can trust them. They are real Americans for America and will not be lost in the dream of world power which will destroy America and make Europe all-powerful. The colored people will welcome most heartily the change. Segregation, humiliation and unjust discrimination have reigned unchecked for seven years. The preacher of righteousness in Washington has lived a life of opposites. Contradictory statements and life have disgusted everybody. Colored voters will enter this campaign to do their share, both in contributing money and casting ballots that will destroy the southern oligarchy that was ruled the nation for the most shameful period in American history. We ask of Senator Harding when he is elected no special favors. We wish no coajoling, neither do we desire any special laws for our benefit. We ask the enforcement of the Constitution with all of its Amendments. The fourteenth, fifteenth and eighteenth alike. We ask a fair share of the emoluments of office, if the party is successful. We desire to be treated simply as American citizens on equality with all other citizens. Exact of what may be exacted of any American and see to it that we receive also what any other American receives. Colored men will not be influenced by any cry of a third party, this year. Any attempt to influence the men who followed Roosevelt in 1912, against Harding will miserably fail. The solidarity of the Republican party was never so much needed as now and we assure the nation that black people will lead in restoring this solidarity. We do this, not only for our sake but for the sake of foolish white voters who follow any am and also for the sake of our country, to prevent it from going to the devil toward whom it is fast drifting. The Gazette led in the Harding fight before his nomination and it will lead in the election of Harding and Coolidge.
(Rev.) Wm.; A. Byrd.
Congratulations!
My dear Mr. Smith:—Accept my congratulations for the fine work done by you in helping to bring about the nomination of Senator Harding. You and I are one not because we love The Gazette and strive to make it count but because Providence leads us.
In your fight to help elect Harding and Coolidge I stand squarely by you. In the east, or wherever I can best serve, you have but to command me.
Sincerely yours.
(Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.
Senator Warren G. Harding was one of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker's lieutenants for years. Do not forget that, loyal Afro-Americans.
The Chicago convention nominated the best man for our people mentioned in connection with the Republican nomination for the Presidency. Absolutely no doubt of that.
Yes, we feel very happy indeed over the nomination of Senator Harding. It was the best thing for the party as well as our people.
Of course you remember that The Gazette published Senator Harding's portrait on the first page of its May 1, '20, issue and over it ran this line—OUR NEXT PRESIDENT! Prophetic, wasn't it?
"The Old Reliable" Gazette was practically the only race paper in the country that supported Senator Harding for the nomination before the recent primaries. Have you noticed that fact?
Felicitations (on the Harding nomination). Brothers Fred Patterson of Greenfield, Robert Allen, Harry Alexander and Capt. L. H. Godman, of Columbus; Hon. Wm. Copeland of Cincinnati; Prof. W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce; Hon. Charles Cottrill of Toledo, and all the others in the state. We helped materially to do a good job.
Senator Harding said to that delegation of the National Equal Rights league that called on him in Chicago, late last Saturday evening, after his nomination: "I am for democracy in its fullness." That is all we ask. He will stop the Washington, D. C., segregation in governmental departments just as soon as he becomes President, which will be March 4, next year.
Representatives of the N. E. R. league did a good job when they secured, at Chicago, last week, the adoption of a rule by the Republican National Committee that in the future no party convention of delegates could be held in a place where colored persons were not allowed to go.
According to the despatches to the daily papers of the country, several weeks ago; Pres. Moorfield Storey, of the N. A. A. C. P., in his annual address to its recent Atlanta, Ga., meeting, endorsed the prejudiced southern demand for the separation of the races (segregation of our people) in many things. We have been patiently waiting to see this affirmed or denied by N. A. A. C. P. officers.
Just before its adjournment, last week, a resolution was rushed through the Republican national convention directing the national committee to cut down the southern representation in national conventions. This is undoubtedly the result, largely, of southern delegates of both races' acceptance of money from candidates for the Presidential nomination. It is not directed at Afro-American southern delegates only, as some of our people think.

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 advancement, we may be very sure 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.
THE MAN WHO DARES.
"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dare to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, indolent 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.
PROTEST AGAINST WRONG.
To shamhit 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 guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
"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.

A. E. F. WIPES OUT 'COLOR-LINE'
MONTEREAL, Que., Ca., June 10.—The American Federation of Labor today wired out the "color line" and warned its affiliated international unions that Negro workers must be given full and equal membership.
"This, I believe, will settle the Negro problem in our organization for all time," said Chairman Duncan. "Our affiliated unions must now understand that the color line is abolished."
A PRIVILEGE
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.
Joseph C. Manning.
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 brotherhood 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 enforce 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.

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."

The Caterers' recent reception and banquet for Col. Otis Duncan and Dr. Leroy Bundy was a very successful social function. Mrs. Bundy played and sang several very fine selections. Slaughter Bros. showed the right spirit and enterprise in donating their autos for the conveyance of the old folks to and from St. John's A.

The community chorus of the Central-Marion Bath house, Alex. O. Tayler, director, created so favorable an impression at its first entertainment, recently, that many people are looking forward to its next one, July 8. Dr. J. T. Suggs has assumed his duties as physician at the bath house. Dr. W. Harvey Higgins, of Providence, R. L., visited his sister, Mrs. O. A. Taylor recently. He was en route to the Chicago convention, serving as an assistant sergeant-at-arms. Mrs. Taylor gave a very successful reception in his honor and had him see the prettiest parts of Cleveland from her fine Esses car.
Frank Ross, arrested recently, charged with several criminal assaults on white women in the Central-Scovil Ave, district, was secured the light verdict of assault and battery, this week, in court by Senator John P.

Dr. F. G. Snelson, pastor of St. Mary's A. M. E. church, Chicago, has accepted the pastorate of Avery Chapel, Memphis, at the request of Bishop A. J. Carey. When he took the pastorate of St. Mary's church, it had 125 members, in 1915, and when he left it had 1,084. The old mortgages have been burned and $900 have been turned over to the Church Extension Society. In February, 1919, the old structure was torn down and the masones laid the corner stone of the new St. Mary's church, March 1, and Oct. 27 Bishop Coppin, Bishop H. B. Parks and the Ministerial Alliance dedicated the new church, which is valued at $65,000. More than half of this has been paid in nine months. Rev. Snelson was pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, this city, some years ago.
One Morris, who was employed at the Belle Vernon Milk Co. on Cedar Ave., is said to have killed his wife, Hester Morris, and very seriously wounded his sister-in-law, Mrs. Inez Williams Cox, last Saturday evening, at their home, in the Park's apartments, on Pine Ave., near E. 30th St. A quarrel had started between husband, wife and sister-in-law because the latter had influenced the wife to separate and leave Morris' home, it is said. Morris and Mrs. Cox, who lived next door to him, became embroiled in another hot argument on Saturday night. He slapped her, went to his house and secured a chair and returned to the scene of strife. Mrs. Cox is said to have abused Morrison, who had him in a fight with hispidore. In the fight that ensued his wife jumped between Morris and his sister-in-law and was stabbed through the heart, dying in a few minutes, Mrs. Cox, who was stabbed in the stomach, is (at this writing) at the point of death in a local hospital. Morris' hearing is set for this Friday morning.
One of the most interesting events of the graduation season will be the annual reception to graduates of Cleveland schools and colleges to be held Thursday, June 24th, 1920, at 8 p. m. at Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church, E. 46th St., and Cedar ave. A most charming program has been arranged, consisting of musical selections and talks by some of the graduates, a soprano solo by Miss Ruth Mitchell and a short address by Rev. J. B. Redman, D. D., pastor of Cory M. E. church, Immediately after the program, refreshments will be served and an opportunity be given to meet and congratulate the graduates, of whom there a larger number, this year, than usual. The reception is given under the auspices of Cleveland Association of Colored Men of which Mr. W. Blue is president. It is one of several efforts on foot to encourage our young people to obtain higher training. All who can should attend and "do their bit" toward encouragement of higher education. There are thirteen high school graduates, five Western Reserve University graduates, one Cleveland Law School graduate, two Junior College of Education (normal) graduates and three Ohio College of Chiropody graduates.—Adv.
Be sure to read the J. B. Dennis advertisement elsewhere in this paper and patronize him. It is a race enterprise and deserving, too.—Adv.

A farm of 25 acres of fine land is given by the Liberian government to every Afro-American immigrant. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Mitchell, of Institute, W. Va., is en route to southwestern Europe and northern Africa to get moving picture films for a travelogue to use principally in this country. Our old friend, Ralph Tyler, of Columbus, O., is percolating here and there, giving the old "con" the "once over." Of course, you know Ralph is against Harding for president.—Chicago Defender. Rev. W. L. Darius, of Colorado Springs, Colo., recently won a civil rights suit against a Greek proprietor of a boot-black stand. Minnesota has been disgraced with the lynching of three Negroes, June 15th, said to have criminally attacked a white girl the night before. They were circus employees./ Southern "crackers" (in the north) led the mob.
JENA OFFERS CONTRAST9
Intellectually Progressive, But Keppa Old Customs.
Jena is a town of comfortable contrasts. Intellectually progressive, she is physically most conservative. The leaders of thought filing the most advanced ideas in social philosophy back and forth over their dinner tables, but those tables are laden with large meals cooked after the exact fashion that they have been cooked in German Bohlenia for the last 200 years. The good professor will follow any intellectual concept that convinces his profoundly logical mind, but he will stick to his grandfather's style of pie in the face of all opposition and indigestion. Someone might trace an interesting and instructive relationship between German pie and German pessimism.
The contrast between old manner and new thought run all through Jena. Here is one of the most famous of European universities, here are philosophers and metaphysicians of the most daring and radical, and all about them is an old pictureque city whose comfortable burgher class is quite untouched by all the intellectual fireworks that coruscate from the university grounds. Jena has, all the carmarks of a German university town—the little knots of gay capped students, the creeper covered buildings, the beer cellars, the gardens, the occasional dignified and black-clad faculty member pacing austerely down the intimate old street, respectfully saluted on every hand. All this student life is overlaid on a solid and pictureque background of town life, of comfortable solid houses, of blue-eyed middle class maidens, of cool streets and flowery gardens.
Jena is elaborately fond of gardens. They confront you on every hand, carefully tended and lushly flourishing. They bloom with a lavishness that is perhaps a product of the intellectual atmosphere. Jena is famous for her gardens, her glass factories, her beer and her great man. Any one of these industries carried to the point that they carry it in Jena, would insure the fame of an ordinary town.
DEEPEST WELL IN THE U. S.
Present Depth Is 7,214 Feet, After Five Years' Labor.
After five years' labor and an expenditure of more than $300,000, the deepest well in the United States still lacks a few feet of equaling the depth of the world's deepest well in Roumania. During 1916 the bit probing the heart of the earth advanced only thirty-four feet making the present depth of the Geary well near McDonald, Pa., 7,214 feet. The Roumanian well is 7,300 feet in depth. Work will be continued by the company drilling the Geary well. It is understood the company has the backing of the United States Geological Survey, careful record being kept of the strata encountered. At a great depth a strata, of rock salt over 100 feet in thickness was discovered. The wire cable used in the work of drilling is at present 10,000 feet of length, tapering in diameter from one and one-quarter inches to seven-eights of an inch.
NEW DRY BATH DISCOVERED
It Reduces Time of Brown-toning to Half a Minute.
A new dry bath for chlorium-bromide paper, which, according to its discoverer, reduces from twenty minutes to one half minute the time required for brown-toning, was demonstrated at the annual meeting in Linkooring, Sweden, of the Swedish Photographers' Union. The demonstrator declared that he was now able to secure immediately the tone desired, independent of the quality of the plate or the length of exposure.

OUR OMIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers
of The Gazette we print below the
text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohie
Civil Rights law which the editor had
Berar) ee cerme Court has
several times upheld the law which
has been very effective. Only ome
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
enacted while a member of the Tist
General Assembly, in 1804:
Win Bamana? Cade of Obie:
Sec. 12940, Whoever, being the
proprietor or his employee, keeper or
manager of an inn, restaurant, eat-
ing house, barber-shop, public con-
veyance by land or water, theater or
otier place of public accommodation
and amusement, denies to a. citizen,
except for reavons applicable alike
to all citizens and regardless of race
or color, the full enjoyment of the ac-
commodations, advantages, facilities
or privileges thereof, shall he fined 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 per-
con aggrieved thereby to be recov
ered in any court of competent. jur-
isdietion in the county where such of-
fense was committed:
This law has repeatedly been held
constitutional and good law by the
Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is
our people will not tise 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.
THE TRAGEDY OF THE HALF
LOAF,
(From the Chicago Whip.)
‘The strongest races of men, and the
‘most indomitable characters. of his-
tory have always either uncompro-
misingly demanded every scintilla of
their just rights, or, being denied the
full measure of attainment of their
ideals, have spurned even life itself.
Patrick Henry in crying out for
“either liberty or death,” voiced the
sentiment of the Pilgrim Fathers,
‘who preferred the unknown horrors
of the great uncharted Western ocean
‘and the savage-ridden land beyond to
religious oppression in a comfortable
home.
But the American colored man is
apparently satisfied with the HALF
LOAF.. For 250 years he was told
that he was entitled to NOTHING
—that he even enjoyed life itself by
suffrance. His mind was so deliber-
ately diversified and stunted that
he could not even think to the con-
trary
“So well was this psychology in-
‘grained into him that, even today,
race leaders of the old school, finding
it impossible to break from this log
cabin philosophy, “handed it down to
free men.”
He was’ so thoroughly robbed of his
mentality, that he complacently help-
ed manufacture the shot and shell
which enabled his masters to keep him
in slavery. When Liberty and Citi-
zenship were granted him, his childish
mind could not grasp their signifi-
cance. He took what was given him
with a thankful heart, thanks to the
teachings of the old school.
He has not yet demanded uneqitiyo-
cally all that is due him! He fears to
refuse acceptance of the Half Loaf
and demand the WHOLE, trembling
Test he be denied any at all. With
‘apologetic mein and smirking smile,
he renders gratitude for “jim-crow”
settlement houses, “jim-crow” sol-
Giors and sailors’ clubs, ‘'jim-crow”
¥.M.C. A's, “jim-crow" officers’
training camps, “jim-crow” churches,
fraternities and polities.
He thus plays the beggar’s role in
spite of the fact that he has proven
himself to be an indissoluble and in-
divisible entity of the whole warp
and woof of America, economic, po-
litical, miitary and social. He ix the
economic backbone of the South. He
holds the balance of political power
as he is beginning to learn. He has
always been the fangs of the Ameri-
can army: His blood, suspected and
unsuspected flows in more yeins than
‘any other one strain in America.
He is still a slave, if, he accepts
anything short of the full unstinted
measure of recognition and respect.
The new colored American will never
ugain be satisfied with EQUAL
RIGHTS when they are not the
SAME RIGHTS. The NEW Colored
American, repudiating the teachings
of the old school, who led him into
the quagmire of peonage and serf-
dom MUST and WILL spurn the
Half Loaf and lay hold onto the
WHOLE LOAF, “so help him God.”

~~ _THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 19, 1920.
The Two Greatest Evils
Existing in the Great Republican
Party.
The Fifteenth Amendment Must Be Enforced
—This We Must Continue to Insist Upon.
1 es eol RAG scic (ASIA the Sphta and Mnietines™ 01
The New York Sun and’ Herald
said on March 18th that ‘the enforce-
ment of the Fifteenth Amendment is
|a matter entirely under the control
| of Congress.” We quote this opinion
in order to make the following obser-
|vations, “First: The failure to en-
force the Fifteenth Amendment is
|due to unwillingness of white north-
Jer politicians to put colored citizens
[of the south on equality with white
citizens. Second: that the country,
|so far as the two political parties are
concerned, does not intend to enforce
| this portion of the constitution and
will depend upon the sentiment of
| race prejudice to back them up in this
cowardly act. Third: both the north
| and the south, as well as the east and
west, are guilty of this flagrant vio-
lation of the organic law of the coun-
try. The campaign that will be
waged this year must meet this issue
clearly. If colored voters fail to
| press this issue, they fail to measure
up to the needs of the hour. The
|democratic party has flagrantly and
defiantly refused to consider the Fif-
ee Amendment, while the Repub-
ican party has hypocritically evaded
Jit and yet privately acquiesced in the
| democratic attitude. Will the colored
| people continue to trust the Repibli-
jean party in view of itsj wicked de-
nial (just as much as the democrats)
of the citizenship and franchise rights
of the colored citizens of the south?
| As the Republican party is now con-
| stituted is there any hope for the
jenforcement of this Amendment?
Frankly we believe there is not a
ghost of a chance. In almost every
conflict where the two races came to-
gether, white governmental officers
jhave brought the law down heavily
upon colored people but overlooked
J the infractions of white culprits. The
|men at the head of the Republican
‘party in all of the states do not care
Jo enforce this portion of the consti-
tution. So long as this Amendment
is unenforced by congress, the consti-
tution of the nation is a broken chain
and as such cannot bear any weight
nor pull any load. William Howard
|Taft, the rightly defeated once-presi-
| dent’ of the U, S., would oppose the
| enforcement of this Amendment and
there are thousands like him but
have not had the opportunity to show
their honds. The greatest evil exist-
ing within the Republican party is
hypocrisy and duplicity! If this party
could publicly state its present posi-
tion it would be, “damn the niggers
and their franchise.” This the Demo-
cratic party, as governed by the
south, has said. The fact that the Re-
publican party was formed to enact
Freedom for the colored race is the
only restraining power which keeps it
from publicly speaking out as has the
democratic south. ‘The Republican
‘party has dodged this issue too long!
It was the Republicans in Congress
that put through the “conscript law.”
Under this act, the party forced the
colored people of the south to fight for
France, subscribe for liberty loans
and do whatever white men were
forced to do. If the Republican par-
ty balks at enforcing the Fifteenth
Amendment, it convicts itself of the
basest hypocrisy and injustice. Col-
ored voters did not object to the cone
seription act but went in without be-
ing forced. In fact if all the fighters
had been 2s willing as were our men
there would not have been any need
for conscription. However, it became
a law, placing upon every’ American
citizen the burden of fighting for his
country in every way he could. It is
but just that if colored people in war
should bear an equal share of the
hazards and dangers, in peace they
should enjoy the comforts and privi-
leges to the same degree all citizens
enjoy. The Republican party must
woke @ public stand in its platform on
this issue. We want the Fifteenth
Amendment enforced! Not any other
subterfuges to keep the colored citi-
zen out of his rights, but the living
up to the letter and spirit of the con-
stitution, on this issue, Will the par-
ty do it? It will attempt to evade it.
Tt will depend upon cringing job-
hunting politicians to aid them in
evading it. A few appointments and
a little flattering of empty-headed
Nogro “leaders,” the Republican par-
ty is depending upon to again fool the
colored voters. In this they will be
deceived. No party means anything
to the colored voters that is unwill-
ing to give them the same privileges
everywhere that it, gives other eiti-
zens, The fact Abraham Lineoin
freed the colored people through the
‘Republican party does not mean any-
thing now when that same party has
hetrayed almost every principle,
Abraham Lincoln enunciated, touch-
ing colored people. Mr. Lincoln broke
our slavish chains, so far as manual
slavery was concerned, but the Re-
publican party became a party to our
re-enslavement, <0 far as our blood-
bought franchise is concerned. If the
Republican party has deserted every
high purpose and national interest, as
it has the franchise of the colored
race in the south, then it has deserted
the very issues that gave it birth and
it must again return to its first love
or be driven out of power as a swol-
len autocrat that secks only to bene-
fit a “few” but the many it despises.
As we now stand, the Republican par-
ty is the only one that can give the
country any assurance of its contin-
ee Or a Na
firm the rights and privileges of
Americans and leaves the lives, fran-
chise and rights of colored Americans
to the south that has scrupled at
nothing to destroy the colored citizen,
then we say, both of these parties
should go to scrap-pile and a new par-
ty with AMERICANISM as its basis
should be enthroned which will know
no race but know men only as Ameri-
cans and enforce the laws everywhere
so that no section of this country ean
hold up the nation as. a nation of
lynchers, burners of human flesh and
revellers in human blood. Mr. Will
Hays will either do this or go down in
history as the “Last of the Mohicans”
so far as the Republican party is con-
cerned. ‘There are white men who,
for generations have been in this par-
ty and are in it now but when the is-
sue of living the truth and making
America the home for all men on the
same basis be placed beside the issue
‘of lies, promises and political dodging,
will forever leave this decadent. party
of the once just and liberty-loving
Lincoln to found another that has
honesty enough to live its tenets and
not deceive the people,
MRS. MF. WALKER.
Edna Jane Mason-Wa'ker, was born
in Albany. 0., March 1, i861, and
died at Cadiz, 0. May 26, 1920. In
cher early life her parents moved to
Oberlin, O.. where she was reared
and schooled, graduating from the
High School in. the class of "78, and
from Oberlin College in the clats of
184, She afterwards taught school for
‘some years in Canada, and later in
Kentucky. She was very prominent
in society and lodge work, holding for
several years the office of Grand Ma-
tron of the Order of the Eastern
Star in Ohio, as well as high posi-
tions in the Court of Catanthe and
other orders.
Mrs. Walker was a very pleasant,
emiable and intelligent lady, and for
the past 15 years has resided in Cadiz,
assisting her hushand, Mr. Moses
Fleet Walker, proprietor of the Cadiz
Pictorial ‘Theatre, as his very able
and efficient director and manager.
In this position by her genial and af-
fabie courtesy and treatment of its
patrons, she has made a host of
friends throughout the entire commu-
nity, who will sadly miss her friendly
greetings and kindly acts of civility.
Her illness, chronic nephritis, was of
long standing and much suffering, but
she was lovingly cared for and given
every human aid by her devoted hus-
band, to whom she was united in mar-
riage May 11, 1898,
Besides her husband, she is surviv-
ed by a brother, Joseph Mason, of
Oberlin: two sisters. Mrs. Kate Haw-
‘kins, of Lorain, and Mrs, Vietoria
Jenkins, of Joliet; two _step-sons,
George ‘and Thomas Walker of Steu-
benville; a step-daughter, Mrs, Cleota
Mills of Los Angeles; ' also. three
nieces, Mr, Kate Moore. of Oberlin:
Mrs. Carrie Underhill, Chicago, and
Mrs. Beatrice Durando of Phoenix,
Ariz,
Brief funeral services were. con-
ducted at her late residence, Thurs-
day evening, by her friend, Prof. W.
H. Lucas; a short serviee by mem-
bers of the Court of Calanthe, and
Friday morning her romains’ were
taken to her old home at Oberlin for
interment.—Cadiz. (0.) Republican,

TRAINING NEGRO LEADERS.
| Almost every institution conducting
‘a training school ‘of any kind for col
ored people, stamps itself as “train-
ing Negro leaders.” It is a. mistake
for would-be educators to feel that
every colored boy that enters a schoo!
does so upon the theory that he is to
be a “leader.” Some of the. schools
now working among. colored people
would do far better work if. they
would lay aside this false dream,
that they are “preparing leaders for
the colored race.” We need more in-
telligent followers and less “leader-
ship.” We need the general dissemi-
nation of education among the masses
so that the race as a unit wi'l show a
more intelligent grasp of American
ideals and customs. Many of the self-
constituted “leaders” of the race are
held in contempt by the thinking peo-
ple of the race. ‘Then too the race
does not need any “leader.” No one
man or set of men can evolve the
principles tha} the entire race must
espouse and follow. There is no dis-
tinct line of action or conduct that
Negroes must take in this country.
Our position is among "the races that
make up this polyglot nation, We
must so understand the ideals of the
nation till unconsciously we dove-tail
into the frame work of the nation
without manifesting anything pecu-
liarly Negro. Real Negro leaders
will not only lead in the race but in
the nation. They do so not by a me-
chanical training of some. subsidized
school, working under some covert
scheme to give colored people a fixed
kind of education, hence there must
be leaders for it. Ability to measure
arms with all men is the one prere-
quisite necessary for leadership in the
colored race. Any attempt to foist
upon the colored race colored men
trained by avhite mon of questionable
motives will fail, especially when
racial equality before the law is con-
cerned, racial enjoyment of American
privilezes on ecuality with all races
and the participation in American
government. Such trained men who:
accept these heresies that colored
