The campaign and the election of 1918 resulted in the freedom of the legislative branch of the United States government from one man dictation and one man control. The fight to complete the job of ending one man control of the national government is now at hand. The principle involved is the restoration of party government from one man government. The Wilson autocracy has been routed in its one man control of Congress and what remains to be done is to end the Wilson autocracy in the White House.
Warren G. Harding will be content to be a co-worker with the constitutional machinery of the national government and he, will not seek to arrogate to himself the whole powers of government. When President, he will carry out the policies approved by the American people and without trying to set himself up as a dictator of either this or the other side of the universe. The high office of President of the United States will be big enough and the honors of the office high enough, for him. He will not aspire to set up a super world government, inspired by voices in the thin air, with an ambition to become a Kaiserette of humanity.
The boundaries of the United States will be big enough to hold Warren G. Harding during his term of office. He will not flatten out over the universe or become a sob-sister over breaking the heart of the world. He will stay on the job as President of the United States, while the United States has never failed to be on the job for right either at home or abroad whenever and wherever it has spoken its real voice and without intervention of cross currents of strange voices in the air. Harding will be competent to be President because he will be satisfied to fill those duties which belong to the Presidency. That is why Harding will be elected President.
The Secretary of State Contest.
The Secretary of State Conest.
Hon. Harry C. Smith, the invincible editor of "The Old Reliable" Gazette is making the fight of his life before the secretorial tribunal of the state to have his name placed on the ballot to be voted for at the August primary. Mr. Smith is one of the most prominent and widely known Negroes of the country, having been three times elected to the Ohio Legislature; from a district in which white voters predominate. He is ably represented by Attorneys L. H. Godman of Columbus, and Henry L. Thomas of Cleveland, two of the best Colored lawyers in the state. He stated he would abide the decision only of the highest court—Washington C. H. (O.) County Organ.
To Hon. Charles Cottrill of Toledo, Prof. W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce and Councilman Thos. W. Fleming of Cleveland, is due the praise for the construction of and the introduction in the state Republican platform at Columbus recently of the "antilynching plank."
Maggie Smith of Cincinnati and Mrs. Minbel Jamison, of Columbus are visiting their parents.—Mrs. Rhoda Kittrell entertained, last Wednesday, in honor of Irmil Kittrell, it being his birthday.—Lyne B. Hudson visited Ada Williams, this week.—Glenn Jones, Charles Minor and Donald Trimble attended the campmeeting at Highland, Sunday.
MARION.—R. S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender, has written Senator Harding that his nomination is entirely satisfactory to our large population of Illinois. From John W. Thompson, chairman of the executive committee of our New York State Republican council, a voters' organization, came this word: "This organization, representing more than 300,000 colored men and women voters, begs to extend to you their most sincere congratulations." The New York council will hold its annual state convention at Saratoga, July 27, when it will select a delegation to call on Senator Harding at Marion. Word also has been received from Rev. N. T. Lane, pastor of a Baptist church in Kansas City, that our voters of Jackson county, Missouri, will support Senator Harding. Of course, they will and everywhere else in this country. Many protests have been received here against the establishing of "jim-crow" headquarters in New York and Chicago for Afro-American Republicans.
A WHITE FRIEND
Has no Doubt of the Success of our Petition for Mandamus in the State Supreme Court,
Cadiz, O., July 11, 1920.
Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor Gazette,
Cleveland, Ohio
Dear Sir and Friend:—I have no doubt, of the successful termination of your mandamus suit in our Supreme Court.
Why a man should be penalized because he belongs to the ancient and honorable tribe of Smiths is beyond my ken. If a reputable citizen duly files his petition according to law, that's the end of it, without regard to the color of his hide or the fortunate or unfortunate fact that his name tallies with one or more other aspirants to the office.
While the testing of this matter will be a source of extreme annoyance and much expense to you, it will at least establish a precedent of much value in square deal politics for which you should be entitled to the thanks of all good citizens, irrespective of color or, "previous condition of servitude."
Truly yours,
L. H. SCOTT.
WOMEN'S CLUBS' SESSION.
YOUNGSTOWN, O.—Business sessions of the twentieth annual convention of the Ohio Federation of our Women's clubs started July 7, in the Third Baptist church, this city. Miss Annie V. Hughes, Columbus, presided. About 125 delegates attended Mayor Fred J. Warnock and Rev W. O. Harper gave welcome addresses and responses were made by Mrs. Della Fields, Toledo, and Mrs. Lethia Fleming, Cleveland.
Morris Scores A Victory.
CHICAGO, IL.—The Illinois Constitutional convention adopted Delegate Edward H. Morris' proposal prohibiting the Legislature from passing future laws which shall discriminate against people of any race of color, after a debate which lasted for one and a half hours. Hon. Edward H. Morris, the well known lawyer of this city, led the fight for the proposal. The section adopted states, that laws of the state shall be applicable alike to all citizens without regard to race or color, and no citizen shall be prohibited from doing anything that any other person may do because of or by reason of such citizen's race or color. GOOD!
The second entertainment of the Central Bath House Community chorus was given in the assembly room of the building, last Friday evening. There were songs, recitations, etc., by members of the chorus composed of children of all races in that neighborhood (25th and Central). The soloists were Miss Edna Elizabeth Chapel, formerly of Atlanta, Ga., and the Missea Agnes Kraiger and Blanche Strother. Wm. J. Howland gave a trombone solo, accompanied by his son, Homer L. Alex O. Taylor, director.

Will deliver her famous lecture—"As a Man Thinketh," Sunday night, July 18, at Cory M. E. church. She will also appear at other churches during the week. Perhaps the best promise of an enjoyable as well as profitable evening will be found in the following expression of others who have been entertained and inspired by the rare charm and sparkling intellect of this brilliant, little platform orator. She deserves the admiration and respect of every individual whose opinion is worth having.—Ella Wheeler Wileox in Chicago American. Our men were inspired as never before, and are unanimous in praise of her work.—Thos H. Bell, Sec'y. Y. M. C. A., New York City. Without hesitation I proclaim her one of the ablest speakers it has been my good pleasure to hear.—Rev. C. T. Walker, Augusta, Ga. She was wonderful and we consider it a privilege to have heard her.—Rev. W. A. Welch, Metropolitan A. M. E. church, Washington, D. C. Her address was a master-piece and we were the better for her visit to us.—Rev. W. N. DeBerry, St. John's Institutional church, Springfield, Mass.

Hon Harry C. Smith,
Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio,
My dear Mr. Smith: On more than one occasion, during the past several months, I have met nnd talked with Senator Harding and Iton. Harry M. Daugherty and discussed with them conditions in Ohio and the service you were rendering the Harding cause in Ohio. The warmth of appreciation expressed because of your friendship for Senator Harding, and the fine regard for you personally, was most gratifying to me. I think that I ought to write you about this. My own judgement is that you will be able to render great service to your race when Senator Harding goes into the White House, as he will go into the White House as our next President.
Sincerely your friend,
Joseph C. Manning.

Last Friday, the Ohio supreme court issued an alternative writ of mandamus, directing Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith to appear before the court, July 15, to show cause why the name of Harry Clay Smith, editor of The Gazette, should not be printed on the Republican ticket in the primaries, Aug. 10, as a candidate for secretary of state. The editor and Attorney Henry L. Thomas left, Wednesday afternoon, for Columbus to attend the hearing in the supreme court, Thursday. Watch for the next issue of The Gazette for a full account of the proceedings.

"The Battle is On" Now That The Democrats Have Named Their Standard Bearers—Our Duty!
It is the duty of the Republican voters of this nation to elect Warren G. Harding to the Presidency. The Republican party has a very large majority of votes and this majority should swell this year because of many reasons. Among the reasons we mention a few: (a) The Democratic party has shown itself incompetent to direct the affairs of this nation. (b) If the Democratic party wins, then we are no longer an independent self-governing people but must take orders from Europe and especially Great Britain. (c) The League of Nations has not functioned with the other powers in it but instead it is a breeder of wars. The dark clouds of war are hovering over Europe and the far East. America is not able to dispel these clouds if the other powers combined cannot. The deluge of blood through which the world has passed must not be let loose upon us again. To enter the League of Versailles is to take up our guns, go back to the trenches and again destroy civilization. The Democratic party is committed to the League. It declares for the League, as it is, with only explanatory reservations. Article X must stand as it is and all other articles just as Woodrow Wilson brought them back. If the voters of this nation elect Cox then they send their sons again into the

the heavyweight boxing bout scheduled for New York, this week, between Fred Fulton, (white) and Harry Wills has been transferred to Newark, N. J., where it will be staged, July 26. Inability to secure a suitable arena and the indefinite status of the New York boxing law caused the change.
Leo Johnson, the recognized lightweight champion of the race, and 'Lil Arthur Stigall, a speedy and hard-hitting battle, meet at Cumberland, Md., this week, to decide who shall be crowned leader of his class.
Baseball fans down east are in a fever of excitement over the series about to start between two of our greatest teams, the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City, led by "Cannon Ball" Dick Redding, and the Lincoln Giants of New York, led by "Cyclone Joe" Williams. A coincidence is that both leaders are conceded to be two of the greatest pitchers in America.
Tates Trim Gilmours.
Last Sunday at League Park before a crowd of three thousand fans, the Tate Stars trimmed the Gilmour K of C.'s, 4 to 2. The Tates scored in the fourth as the result of Williams'

safety, a walk, sacrifice and Sharkey's solid single. They scored three more in the sixth as the result of Williams' hit, two more hits, a sacrifice and Wilson's beautiful drive to center. Wilson's work in right shone out like a beacon-light. He threw Cleary out at first on a clean hit to right and later threw the same player out at third when he attempted to take two bases on Michaels' hit. The score: Tate Stars ..... 000 010 300—4 Gilmour K. of C. ..... 000 100 100—2 Errors—Tate Stars 3, K. of C. 5. Double play—Sharkey to Williams. Left on bases—Tate Stars 4, K. of C. 9.

fire of Hell where European capacity formed a peace that is no peace but is a destroyer of peace and a promoter of war. Republican voters must decide whether this nation will remain free from the quarrels of relatives in Europe that are now distressing the world or whether we shall become a party and thereby destroy our own civilization at home. (d) The Republican party stands for "America attending to her business but ready to aid righteousness and put down wrong whenever it threatens the peace of the world but it will not mix with European nations in settling their quarrels." The treaty of Versailles is vicious and it will be up to the president, that shall be elected, to let the world know what kind of peace America approves and also the means whereby America is willing to maintain this peace. If Mr. Cox is elected, he must carry out Woodrow Wilson's policy, for it is his policy that is enunciated in the Democratic platform. We gained our freedom when Cornwallis surrendered to Washington. This independence we shall never surrender to any nation until a greater than we take it from us. A party that is willing to surrender this independence is unworthy of the support of American citizens. The way to make sure our safety is to elect Harding and Coolidge.

The Tates have made a good start in the Class A elimination series. The boys intend, they say, to try to make it four straight before they stop.
The Nacos resume their games, this Sunday, meeting one of the strong teams from Akron. They have arranged to prevent any recurrence of such trouble as occurred July 5th.
The Gilmours showered on Brady for 11 hits—more than the usual number, as he generally holds his enemy to seven or eight.
Our Western Nat'l League is drawing great crowds. Kansas City had 10,000, at their opening, while, Detroit frequently has from 6,000 to 11,000 at their games.
The public mass meeting, Sunday afternoon, at the Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church forum was presided over by Dr. E. A. Bailey in a manner satisfactory to all. He was ably assisted in its conduct by Dr. E. J. Gregg, Lieut. Dwight R. Williams, L. J. Dean and others. The speakers were our candidates for the Legislature, Congressman Emerson, Mrs. D. Walker Booker of Indianapolis and the editor of The Gazette. Dr. L. H. Brown and Rev. E. L. Gilliam, former resident of Columbus, who has located in this city, opened and closed it, respectively, with prayer. Music was furnished by the organist of the church and the audience. So every one present participated in the afternoon's exercises. Excellent idea. All of the speeches were good; especially so were those of Sidney B. Thompson, Capt. W. R. Green and Mrs. Booker who is a speaker of exceptional ability. Our "legislative" candidates are: Messrs. Green, S. B. Thompson, S. E. Woods, W. T. Blue and H. E. Davis. The audience, while not as large as anticipated because of the several church rallies and meetings at the same hour, was wonderfully enthusiastic and applauded the speakers most generously indeed, especially the editor of The Gazette the principal speaker. The fight for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State was thoroughly discussed. The amount of the collection and the expenses of the meeting will be published in our next issue. Drs. Bailey and Gregg, who were in immediate character of it, are deserving of great credit for their painstaking and unselfish work to make it a success.

We are compelled to send The Gazette to its many patrons a day earlier than usual, this week, in order to get away to Columbus on time for the preparation for and hearing of our petition for mandamus, held in the Ohio Supreme Court, Thursday. As a result we were compelled to leave out of this issue much important news, etc.
"The armed forces of America," says the Democratic platform, "constituted a decisive factor in the victory and brought new luster to the flag." But how much brighter would that luster have been if it had not been dimmed by continued bickerings, vacillation and mismanagement among the officials in this country charged with the duty of supplying our troops in France.
Characteristic strong-arm methods of the Democrats are in evidence even at the party's convention, where only friends are supposed to be met. Permanent Chairman Robinson, who at other times wears as a symbol of his dignity the toga of a U. S. Senator, wanted fifty extra tickets to the convention. He made his demands known and was requested to sign a receipt for the card-boards. This he refused to do, slapped the ticket man in the face, punched him in the chest, and made off with the tickets. Attorney General Palmer entered the room while the melee was in progress and promptly discharged the guardian of the tickets for permitting himself to be assaulted by the Senator.
DECKER DIGS DANIELS.
Another row is on in the Navy Department. This time the Secretary has taken unbrage at Rear Admiral Decker for presuming to suggest that it would be for the good of the service to have a real navy man at the head of the Department rather than a civilian politician. In his letter to Senator Hale, Chairman of the Senate Naval Committee, Admiral Decker charged that Daniels had "intentionally and deliberately" misrepresented certain acts of Admirals Sims, Fullam, and Fiske. Of course the statement added heat to the already aroused ire of the petulant Secretary, and the report is current that Decker is to be "called on the carpet" and made to explain. The situation in the Navy is rapidly resolving itself into a controversy with all the men, who by education and a lifetime of naval experience, are experts in their line, on one side, and the blase Daniels, who has thought and dreamed of nothing but Democratic politics for twenty years, on the other.
Gov. Clement of Vermont, after making an appointment with Senator Harding, has conferred with the candidate regarding the advisability of calling on extra session of the Vermont legislature to act on the woman suffrage amendment. True to his declaration of several days ago Senator Harding has refrained from taking the initiative in urging action of that sort, being determined not to infringe on the rights of the States in such matters. But the fact that Gov. Clement sought Senator Harding's advice gave the latter an opportunity to acquaint the Governor with his views.
"I told the Governor frankly," says Senator Harding, "that if my advice
were wanted, I would be glad to see Vermont Republicans close up the great franchise reform. The women throughout the Nation are deeply interested in the national campaign, and the ratification must be closed soon if they are universally to participate in the Federal election. I would be gratified of course, to have Republican Vermont close the gap, but Gov. Clement understands I was not trespassing on his authority in giving him such an opinion in the course of our conference."
Many colored voters supported Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 because they felt they were justified in doing so. There was room for division and the colored voters divided as did white voters. 1920 presents no such a crisis as did 1912. The sad experience of seven years of Wilsonianism in Washington outweighs any defect in the Republican party's conduct toward colored people. The Democratic party is one for office. It shouted for progressivism but their progressivism was "office pie." For this pie, this party sacrificed the interests of the country and every one else save the southern Democratic voters. Without a split in the Republican ranks there is no chance for a Democratic victory. The inducement offered by Amos Pinchot should be spurned. Amos Pinchot, like Bainbridge Colby, is a Democrat at heart and for honors, and his endeavors are simply to aid the Democratic party. Those who advocate a third party are the paid hirelings of Democracy and should be shunned as one would leprosy. Colored voters can not afford to split for fear a shadow of Wilsonism may again enter the White House. The humiliation of our wives, sisters, daughters and male relatives in the Departments at Washington came about because the Wilson family believed in segregation and racial oppression. Any Democrat elected to the Presidency will be governed by the South. This means the heels of rabid southern crackers upon the necks of colored people for another four years. Every vote cast for a third party is a vote for Wilsonism. Every vote cast for Amos Pinchot and his "Forty Seveners" means a vote for the rabid Negro hate Kitchens and Heflins of the South. Only two parties can or should receive the franchise of real Americans. A third party is to divide Republican strength while Democratic opportunists will stick closer together than wax. Whatever grievance colored people may have against the Republican party should be laid aside now! We must choose the lesser of two evils, especially when one of the evils and the greater one is the vicious rule of southern bourbons. The black man who advocates the joining of any party now save the Republican party, the one that is going to lick the Democrats, is a menace to the entire race.

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 may be like a summer resort condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

TYPEWRITER HELPS SOLVE FORGERIES
MACHINE FOUND TO HAVE "HU MAN" ODDITIES.
Expert With Aid of Ruled Glass Can
Discover the Guilty Operator.
The typewriter is not the mere machine it seems.
It has its little eccentricities, its little oddities here and there, its distinguishing marks that to the expert are an open book and enable him to tell, after some study, on just what make of machine, of which vintage, a document has been written and, if he can find it, he can tell on which particular typewriter it was hammered out.
Wherefore it would seem that, with the typewriter detective on the trail, the forger, the "poison pen" writer and others who seek to cover their tracks by resorting to the typewriter would have to give it up.
A lawyer of Herkimer, N. Y., was charged with having altered an affidavit in the case hinged upon seven letters which, it developed, had been inserted in the document in typewriting. These letters not only established that the two words which they made had been inserted seven years after the original document had been written, but resulted in the identification of the machine on which they had been written and the conviction of the lawyer who owned it.
A man named Bennett had brought suit against a manufacturing company on the grounds that it was illegally manufacturing a seamless basket which he had invented. After two trials and as many reversals, the suit finally reached the Appellate Court again. There it practically devolved on whether the baskets were the same as that patented by Bennett.
In an affidavit by the manager of the company appeared a statement to the effect that the company had manufactured metal baskets on which no royalties had been paid Bennett. The lawyer for Bennett said that he would not argue the case, as the court could see that the affidavit admitted that the company manufactured "the same" baskets as that manufactured by Bennett. The court's copy, it was found, had the words "the same", while other copies did not. The question immediately arose as to who had inserted the words "the same" in the court's copy of the affidavit.
A typewriter expert was called into the case. He had the words copied on several machines and submitted to Bennett's lawyer and after an examination swore that the words had been inserted by one of them. He pointed out that the body of the affidavit had been written on one make of machine with one kind of type and that the inserted words had been written on another machine with slightly different type. Then he astonished the court by showing how he knew. A glass plate ruled on horizontal lines was laid on the photograph of the disputed words. Viewing the photograph through this glass, it was seen that the disputed words were in slightly smaller type. It also showed the lines at the bases of the letters to be thicker.
Promoters of "get-rich quick" tricks seem to turn to the typewriter as a simple means of protecting themselves. As a matter of fact, they are piling up evidence against themselves and have about as much chance of hiding behind a typewriter as an ostrich has of escaping his enemies by sticking his head in a hole in the sand.
The typewriter just a few weeks ago solved what at first blush would have been regarded as a mystery not to be dispelled except by happy chance. The postmaster general at Washington had sent out an order all postmasters. It incurred the anger of one postmaster who immediately wrote an anonymous letter back to Washington in which he very plainly stated his views of the matter. A veteran inspector was detailed to find the writer.
Deducting that the writer had sent the letter almost immediately after receiving the orders the inspector next turned to train time tables. He discovered that between the time the order was mailed and the time the reply had been received it would have been impossible for a postmaster on the Pacific coast to have written the letter. Assuming that his deduction was correct that the writer had indicted his letter in the first blush of anger over the order, the inspector likewise eliminated the postmasteres close to Washington. After considerable figuring he was enabled to fix a small zone through the middle west, extending from north to south, in which he believed he would find his man.
Next he obtained from the postoffice files a list of all offices within that zone in which the postmasters were supplied with typewriters. Already he had determined by careful examination on which make of machine the letter had been written. Then he called for any reports, letters, etc., from those offices which the department had on hand. He examined them through the glass plates ruled with horizontal and vertical lines. In a report from a Texas office he found peculiarities similar to those in the typewriting of the letter he was investigating and the next day he took a train for Texas. The postmaster, confronted by this proof, resigned.
The Begamler Colffure.
The fashionable hair arrangement, with its center parting and very wide sides and back, is called the recamier. The little curls dropping from the back and plumed to the hair are growing more in fashion each week.
BLACK FELLOW IS MASTER TRACKER
AUSTRALIAN NATIVE TYPICAL BLOODHOUND WHILE ON SCENT OF CRIMINAL.
Recognizes Friend or Enemy Readily Merely by His Footprints.
The art of the professional tracker is a fascinating thing to watch. The old-time western plainsman could trail a deer for two days through the forest, the modern White Mountain Apache of Arizona will follow a moocasined man over broken, jagged lava country, there are said to be tribes in the interior of Brazil who can track for short distances by scent. But the king and past master of all trackers, the man who can make an Apache look like an apprentice boy scout, is the black fellow of Australia. He will perform feats of tracking that are almost beyond belief.
The native Australian peoples are ranked low in the scale of humanity, and it may be because they are the most primitive of all races that they keep an almost animal delicacy of perception. But they add to it a very fine reasoning power in the things of the bush, and by combining the two qualities, they can tell not only where the man or the animal they track is going, but even what he is doing on the way.
The most spectacular exploits of the trackers have been accomplished, in the pursuit of criminals, on whose trail they are more deadly than blood-hounds. The Australian mounted policeman takes a black tracker along when he follows a criminal into desert or bush, and that settles it. The tracker will stay on the trail until the end of it is reached. It may take a day, or a week, or month—in one instance it took ten weeks—but the blackfellow never loses the trail for long. He will trail across rocks, across windblown sand, through a tangle of other footprints, he will pick up the trail again and if the quarry takes to the water, and he will report accurately the condition of the man pursued, whether he is strong, or weakening.
So expert do these natives become in tracking that they can recognize a friend or an enemy as readily by his footprints as by his face. Personal identification of a footprint by an expert black tracker is accepted as good evidence in a court of law. Such a tracker can even recognize the hoof mark of almost every horse that is known to him.
"FEW ACRES OF SNOW"
IS NOW GREAT NATION
French King's Estimate of Canada Was Contemptuous. It is now more than a century and a half since Louis XV of France signed over to Great Britain the Dominion of Canada with the light remark: "Oh, well; it's only a few acres of snow."
One cannot help wondering what his thoughts would have been could he have had a vision of the Canada of today and the part she is playing as an alley of his countrymen of the twentieth century. Out of a population of some seven and a half millions Canada has given 440,000 fighting men to the war. At the end of last year war orders totalling $1,995,000,000 had been placed with her, while this year's munitions orders are expected to exceed $700,000,000—or about $100 for every man, woman and child.
At the beginning of this year 630 factories were working on munition contracts, the country's output being now more than that of any European nation except Germany before the war. Wooden ships, steel ships and submarines are being turned out, and on this account and that the imperial munitions board is spending annually more than two and a half times as much as the federal government spends in a normal year. Anxious European allies await the grain and flour of the Canadian prairies as pagerly as ever the populace of ancient Rome looked for the corn ships from Sicily and Egypt.
And if the province of Alberta alone were cultivated on the same intensive scale prevailing in pre-war Belgium it would support an agricultural population of fifty million—or half the entire population of the United States.—From "Canada's Troubles and Triumphs," by Harry C. Douglas, in the American Review of Reviews.
How Machinery Breathes.
An English writer on engineering subjects, Mervyn O'Gorman, calls attention to the fact that a piece of machinery, such as an automobile, laid aside after being used, is in danger of internal rusting through a kind of respiration which affects cylinders, gear boxes, clutch chambers, interspaces in ball bearings, and so forth. Every enclosed air space "breathes" by drawing in air when a fall of temperature contracts its walls, and expelling it when the walls expand through heat. The moisture introduced with the air is deposited in the cavities, and may produce serious damage through rust. The popular belief that oil will protect the inaccessible parts of unused machinery is fallacious, since nearly all oils take up about 3 per cent of water in solution.
Use of an Excessive Amount Means That There Is an Expensive Leak Somewhere.
Keep careful track of your oil consumption, as it means better efficiency of your engine. If you find you are using an excessive amount it means that there is a leak which is expensive, or that the engine is sucking it up into the combustion space, which means carbon and all the troubles which may follow.

PROTEST AGAINST WRONG.
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer.

It is estimated that 20,000 people from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Michigan will attend the picnic at Puritas Springs Park, Friday, July 30th, in honor of the Woodmen delegates from five states.—Adv.

A member of the race was shot down in W. 3rd St., Tuesday afternoon, by a detective. Our organizations should look into this matter, at once. Too many members of the race are being killed in this community by officers. Apparently they are often too quick to shoot.
Moses Cleveland will decorate for the American Woodmen convention. Watch Central Avenue, and then Moses is going to close up on Friday, July 30th, and go to the FIVE STATES picnic at Puritas Springs Park. Parade at 2 p. m. Five bands. The biggest picnic ever attempted in the state.—Adv.
Geo. W. Johnson is visiting his old home and relatives in Ann Arbor, Mich., after two weeks in Chicago. He wrote the editor of The Gazette, last week, and among other things said: "Don't you withdraw! STICK it out," referring to our candidacy for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State.

As stated in our last issue, Bryd's National Detective Bureau, 1358 Ontario St., is a race enterprise with the most capable of skilled men in the business—under the superior personal direction of Messrs. Byrd and Colbert. The Gazette urges our people not only to patronize the agency but to recommend it to their white and colored friends—Adv. Shiloh Baptist church's double rally, Sunday afternoon, in the Baptist church at the corner of E. 30th St. and Scovill Ave., as well as at Shiloh, was a distinct success. The deacons and trustees are certainly "going some." Last week, they had in hand about $7,000. Sunday's rally increased this very materially. A number of prominent speakers of both races were in attendance at the meetings, among the number being the editor of The Gazette.
Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in The Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our read- and all of our friends to patronize those who ask for your trade in this paper.
We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement.

J.
HON. HARRY C. SMITH.
Member of the Ohio Legislature for Three Terms (six years), Files as a Candidate for Republican Nomination for Secretary of State—His Statement.
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 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 Hildebrant) 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.
Harry C. Smith.
Member Ohio Legislature (three terms) 1894, 5, 6, 7, 1900 and 1901.
Editor and proprietor, The Gazette, Cleveland, O., for 37 years.
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.
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?

Name ..... No. ..... Size ..... Postoffice ..... State ..... The Evor Changing Waist Line.
Consider the mental agility it takes to keep up with one's waist line. One goes to bed at night in the sweet assurance that it will be under the arms for the next two or three months at any rate, and awake to learn from the headlines in the morning papers that waist line is positively at the knees. There is absolutely no use in prognosticating anything about it any longer. That the waist line occurred at the waist was an axiom accepted as unquestionably as that the earth revolves on its axis, but in those days of higher criticism is likely to be anywhere. It blows where it listeth. Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, in American Magazine.
I shall be glad to see as many Republicans as I am physically able to see; all Republicans look alike to me," said Senator Warren G. Harding.

Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law
Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race —Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law.
Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into 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. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.)
Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.)
Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, or assailant with ships, or犯 mislead in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.)
Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.)
Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed among the children of such person so share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6).
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come to the aid of the victim. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7)
Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery has had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)
Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.)
Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in
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 used the law. You may our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading

Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.)
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894;
The General Code of Ohio:
The General Code of Ohio.
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and management, denies to a citizen competent for purpose a license to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than 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. We should not use it for themselves, under it, in the courts.
