His Splendid Service and Remarkable Career in France During the World War. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Lieut. Col. Charles W. Fillmore, formerly major of the 9th Ohio Battalion and captain in the 15th N. Y. Inf. and a widower, arrived in the city, Aug. 13, to be married to Madam Jessie S. Lee, a prominent business woman of Springfield, Ill. Col. Fillmore had a varied experience with the A. E. F. in the Great War in France. After participating in the battles of the Champagne-Marne and Aisne-Marne with his gallant regiment, 15th N. Y., in July, 1918, when he was decorated by the French government with the Croix-de-Guerre for gallantry and bravery in battle, he was transferred to the staff of Gen. Ballou of the 92d Div., and later assigned to the command of a company of the 366th U. S. Inf., and participated in the battle of the Muse-Argonne and the defensive sector in the Vosges Mountains. After the strenuous activities which tried the very souls of men, he was again transferred, this time to the 370th U. S. Inf., (former 8th Ill. Inf.). He participated with this regiment in the offensive battle of the Oisne and Aisne and continued in pursuit of the enemy until the signing of the armistice. Nov. 11, 1918. For valiant services, he was appointed regimental adjutant by Colonel Roberts and continued as such until the regiment was mustered out of service at Camp Grant, Ill. Feb. 29, 1919. Col. Fillmore enjoys the unique distinction of being the first Afro-American officer to land on French soil in command of troops, the first to enter the trenches in April, 1918, and the first to receive citation by the French government. Mrs. Lee conducts and owns the Green and Lewis Hair Firm, the largest hair concern in Central Illinois, which was the first of its kind in Springfield, having been established by its former proprietors, Green and Lewis, members of the race, in 1870. Col. and Mrs. Fillmore, after a visit at Atlantic City, will reside in New York, where he is an auditor in the State Income Tax Bureau. Both are Ohioans. southern whites nor blacks to keep alive the Republican party in the south for these last twenty years. The white and black Republicans of the south have conceded politics and the running of the southern states and their government, tp, white Democrats. The Democratic party of the south announces publicly that it does not want colored voters. In the face of this, and more, it is almost incredible that any human being of color should advise their race to vote against a party that is the only open antagonist to the ritten Democratic party that has governed the south for generations and is now running the federal government into the ditch of destruction. The issue in this campaign for black people is the re-election of a Republican Administration and the utter destruction on everything that savours of the southern Democratic rottenness that has plagued for seven years. I am not now concerned about the weakness of the Republican party. All I am thinking about is its coming back into power and then we shall fight for our reforms inside of the party and not now, which will mean aid and comfort to the Democratic nuisance. There may be good men on the inside of the Democratic party but they are under the thumb of the worst in American life and politics. These good men, within the Democratic party, have no more to say in the shaping of the policies of the party than do the cotton-picking Negroes of Mississippi. Every self-respecting white man of the north should join with the Republican party and forever destroy the Democratic machine that crushes the life out of every section of the country save the south, and to this part it sends its millions. Oh no, my foolish Negro hireling, "nothing doing". We are determined to defeat the Democratic party. A third party is a Democratic ally. No third party for us! But we stand for the battle of the Republican party against the Democratic southern oligarchy. (Rev.) WM. A. BYRD. County candidates staged a fitting close to their campaign for office last evening with a mass meeting in the city park. There was a good crowd present, and Mayor Jones, acting as chairman kept everyone in good humor, and introduced the candidates. Each man was given ten minutes to present his claim. Some of them took more than the prescribed time and some of them consumed less than five minutes. Considerable interest was manifested in the appearance of Hon. Harry C. Smith, colored candidate for Secretary of State. He made a whitwind speech, demonstrating that he was an orator, and without a doubt turning a goodly number of votes his way. He stated that he had never had and never would ask for votes on account of his color. He stood squarely on his own merits and served six years, in the State legislature, and believed he was competent to hold the office he was asking for. Robert Pulley, colored candidate for county commissioner, also made a plea for support. Others who spoke were Chas. Williams, and Wm. Oldm; candidates for county clerk; W. B. Richmond, S. V. Haigh, and O. E. Rankin, candidates for county commissioner; C. R. Summers, Oberlin, candidate for State representative and Walter Ludwig, candidate for county treasurer—Elyria (O.)

Senator Harding's address touched in the beginning of the early days of journalism, familiar to many of his hearers, and turned to present day obstacles with special reference to the high cost of print paper. This, he asserted, was only to be met by a comprehensive governmental forest conservation and propagation policy. In speaking of the old-time newspapers there was in Senator Harding's words a note of regret that the journals of another day were passing. "The old-time paper-going back to the last century—was usually a journal of opinion," declared the speaker. "It reflected the convictions as well as the opinions of its owner and editor, and it was the real molder of opinion in its influence upon its readers and the community it served." The speaker characterized the transition from the party organ to the independent newspaper as a mixed blessing. "The partisan newspaper, in its editorial expression, uttered the considered views of a large element of our citizenship," the Senator said. "while the independent paper is often the organ solely of its owner, or it is colorlessly neutral. I am glad, therefore, that you came here today as partisans—Republican partisans—believing in the formulated policies of the Republican party and having faith in its purposes, honesty, capacity and courage." In another phase of his address the presidential nominee declared there was need in this country for return to old standards of honesty and to the teachings of religious mothers. "If I could call for but one distinction," the Senator said. "I would like ours to be known as an honest people. We need the stamp of common, everyday honesty everywhere. We need it in business, we need it in labor, we need it in professions, in pulpits, in editorial rooms, in circulation count. Aye, we need it in politics, in government, in our daily lives." In his conclusion the speaker asserted that no more powerful agency existed than the patriotic American press for true guidance to the "charted way. But IN UNION IS STRENGTH THE COPY FIVE CENTS OTES HIS BROTHER EDITORS. It must remain free, utterly free, with freedom of speech, freedom of religious belief and the freedom of righteous pursuit, it must be honest and it ever must be rejoicing in American nationality which is our priceless possession." The pilgrimage to Senator Harding's home was preceded by an editorial luncheon in the dining room of the Masonic organization, which followed a reception of the visiting newspapermen at the Marion club where they were registered and presented with appropriate badges. With the Ohio editors sat as guests at the banquet table, a number of journalists of national note. Merritt C. Speidel, editor of the Piqua Call and President of the Ohio Republican Editorial Association, presided as chairman at the luncheon gathering, though delegating the active duties to Geo. H. Clark, chair. Repub. State Advisory Committee, who introduced those scheduled for brief responses, these numbering leaders of the journalistic fraternity and Congressman Simeon D. Fess. Telegrams of regret at inability to be in attendance were read from Frank B. Willis, Republican nominee and Harry L. Davis, Republican choice for governor. "I have just come from Lincoln, Neb., and can definitely state that the country is with Senator Harding," said Congressman Fess. "This is not only my judgment but was conceded by one of the leading Democratic statesmen only yesterday in a conversation with me. Our Democratic friends are banking upon what they can do in Ohio," the speaker continued. "They are reporting that they will carry the state and using that as a slogan throughout the country. When they analyze the vote-getting ability of their candidate, as compared with that of our own, their enthusiasm will be dampened. I am convinced that the country is greatly pleased over the conduct of the campaign, on the basis of a dignified attitude, so noticeable in Warren G. Harding. While the people enjoy a sport, they do not want too much comedy attached to the presidency." Present at the editorial luncheon were the presidents of the four editorial associations of the state. These were: Merritt C. Speidel, of the Piqua-Call, president of the Republican Editorial Association; Col. G. W. C. Perry, Chillicothe Gazette, president of the Ohio Associated Dailies; Fred W. Bush, Athens Messenger, president of the Ohio Select List, and John E. Hopley, president of the Harding-For-President' Newspapermen' club of Ohio, of which Editor Hardin Tolbert of the Cincinnati Journal and Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, are the only Afro-American members. Mr. Speidel, in a statement, called attention to the endossement of the Republican Editorial Association of Senator Harding for President more than a year ago. "We are proud of the fact." President Speidel said, "that one of our type, who has been identified with the profession in all its branches, is so surely headed for the White House." Hon. Harry Clay Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, stated that his candidacy for Secretary of State, resulted in at least 20,000 more colored men registering for the primaries than have registered in years. "I guarantee," said Mr. Smith, "that practically everyone of the 50,000 who voted for me will vote for Senator (Continued on Page 2).

SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1920. Gov. and Candidate Cox and other leading Democrats seem greatly concerned about the eighteenth amendment to the U. S. Constitution. Wonder if they ever give a thought to the poor, down-trodden and greatly abused 14th amendment to the same Constitution? A genealogy has been published in New Jersey showing that Candidate Cox is a descendant of James Cox who founded the first Baptist church in New Jersey. Pretty far cry from sanitation by immersion to a "wet" candidacy for the White House. ABSENTEEISM A Washington Society note informs us that the U. S. Ambassador to Japan, Roland S. Morris, spent the week-end at Asheville, N. C. Absenteeism in the diplomatic service seems to be a common occurrence under this administration. If Mr. Morris is not found out campaigning for Cox during the next few weeks it will be a wonder. As it is, he draws $17,500 as Ambassador to Japan and remains at home. This is by no means the only instance of this kind under the present regime. If there ever was a time when able representation of this country at the Mikado's court was needed, it is at present, but political security above national safety is the policy of the Democrats. THE SINKING SHIP. C. B. Ames, assistant attorney general; Thomas J. Spellacy, another assistant; W. J. Flynn, of Palmer's bureau of investigation; and several of Flynn's associates, Francis J. Garvan, who is said to have appointed the above-named gentlemen, and Robert T. Scott, Palmer's confidential secretary, are reported to be considering resignation from Palmer's Presidential Campaign Headquarters, formerly known as the Department of Justice. This will about break up the political enterie which worked for the election of Mr. Palmer with funds appropriated by Congress to reduce the high cost of living. And even if they should be followed out of the department by the adorns of Wilsonism, Palmer himself, the department would continue to function quite as indefectively. But what is that old proverb about the rats and the sinking ship? EQUESTRIAN COX. To carry water on both shoulders—to ride two horses going in opposite directions—seems to be the plan and purpose of Candidate Cox of the Democratic party. He is absolutely at one with Thomas Woodrow Wilson on the League of Nations' covenant and yet he has managed somehow to satisfy Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, who is unalterably opposed to the Wilson League scheme. He proposes, if elected, to take an oath to serve the United States, and yet has given his unqualified pledge to fulfill every known and unknown promise Woodrow Wilson may have made in his negotiations and communications with the representatives of foreign countries, which promises, judging by President Wilson's own statements, will require the United States to make the "supreme sacrifice." Mr. Cox would pose as the leader of the Democratic party and yet almost his first act after his nomination was to subordinate himself to President Wilson, the rejected leader of the party, who insists upon being dictator in any undertaking with which he is connected. Mr. Cox was nominated by the political enemies of Woodrow Wilson and has attempted to make his friends of Woodrow Wilson his. He was nominated by the leaders of Tammany Hall over the protests of Mr. Bryan but has managed somehow to placate Mr. Bryan and induce that "peerless leader" to believe that he is an exponent of Bryanesque policies. If Mr. Cox can succeed in deceiving the advocates of principles that are at direct opposites he will confirm the assertion so frequently made by Democratic politicians that he is a past master in political cunning. CAN THIS BE TRUE? A Columbus friend wrote us, two weeks ago, as follows: "A fellow from Zanesville came to me and shook hands with me and thanked me for what I had said relative to your candidacy, and said I had convinced him of his duty which was now plain to him. He told me that Harvey C. Smith while probate judge there (in Zanesville) refused to grant a marriage license to white women and colored men. That he held up such applications and stated publicly that he would not grant such applications while he was judge unless ordered to do so by a higher court, etc., etc.; that the papers in Zanesville featured his position on this subject and published his remarks and statements. This was about five years ago." John P. Bowles, Sr., of Columbus and Hon. A. Lee Beaty of Cincinnati were the only well-known Afro-Americans in all Ohio, we have heard of, to openly work for Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith's candidacy and against our candidacy for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State. Comment unnecessary! SENATOR HARISHING MEETS HIS BROTHER MOTORS (Continued from Page 4) Harding. "All are enthusiastic for him. His utterance against lynching and for just rights, in his speech of acceptance, has delighted my people and I do not know of a 'single race paper that has not endured his indictment." Sherman A. Cuneo. As the newspaper men, who followed us, filed past Senator and Mrs. Harding and shook hands with them, last Friday, at Marion, we noticed among the number Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus and his associate in business, Ormond A. Forte of Cleveland. As they approached the Senator, Editor Hardin Tolbert of the Cincinnati Journal, who stood with the writer, quietly remarked: "I cannot see where Tyler gets the nerve to shake hands with Sen. Harding after writing and publishing those 'hily-white' Texas lies and others, prior to the recent presidential primary." We simply remarked, "agree!" A monumental nerve is one of the two things Tyler is noted for wherever known. It is hardly necessary to mention the other. Immediately upon our arrival in Marion, last Friday noon, after reporting at the Marion Club as instructions called for, the writer went to Senator Harding's personal headquarters, next to his residence to see an old friend (Howard D. Mannington), whom we found, was on a trip east (to New York City). As a substitute for our friend, Senator Harding proved most acceptable and we had a very pleasant visit. Thursday of this week, we were again in Marion, called by Capt. John P. Maynard, clerk of the Ohio House of Representatives, to meet the General Assembly of Ohio, former members and those nominated at the recent primaries as candidates (Republican) for the Legislature. All gathered there to call on Senator Harding, who was a member of the Ohio Assembly in 1900 and 1901 when Exgov. Frank B. Willis, Ex-Congressman Ralph D. Cole and the writer were members of the other branch of the Assembly—the House of Representatives. The writer was serving his third term in the "House" at the time. The members, former members and will-be members of that august body, who were in Marion, Thursday, registered at the Marion Civic Association at 11:30 a.m., prepared for dinner and the usual front porch speech at the Harding residence which has characterized all similar pilgrimages in recent weeks to the home of the next president of the United States—Senator Warren G. Harding. It would not have surprised us in the least, remembering Editor Tolbert's dry remark of last Friday, to have seen Ralph Tyler at Marion, this week Thursday, but he was not there. Surely, he must have overlooked the occasion. Our readers will remember that the individual mentioned invited himself to Marion, several weeks ago, with a gentleman from the south by the name of Booze—a reminder of days that have gone (the name). Members of the race, who have gone to Marion in recent weeks, all speak in the highest terms of their treatment there by everyone with whom they came in contact. And we cannot close this article without adding a word of praise, as a result of our treatment and that of those of the race here: Thursday and last week Friday. Harry C. Smith Cincinnati, O.

Jimmy Reel, the Tate's outer-gardener and a cooner, was in the game, Sunday, "up to his ears," featuring several hard catches and getting the only extra-base blow off Sitts. Pat Rogers, hustling manager of the speedy Argonnes, is planning a soiree at League Park, next Friday and Saturday week, with the fast Fairmount, W. Va., Giants as his opponents. The N. Y. C. boys, last Sunday, at Naco Park, showed a pitcher, Freeman, who promises well. He had a pretty, fast ball with a hop and a sharp-breaking curve. Cisco was back in the game for the Nacos, Sunday, and his "lay-off" did him no harm, for he led their batting rally and turned back six Central boys who attempted theft. A Charlie Lab of Detroit, led by popular Charley Roxborough, had four thousand fight fans at Mack Park last week to see "Lil Artha" Stigall box, Kid Washington a fast 10-round draw Harry Cook bested "Chicago" Jack White in a smashing battle.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, AUGUST 21, 1920. We are not discouraged, but very, very happy indeed over the outcome of Tuesday's primary, as far as our candidacy for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State is concerned. We could not have been pleased more unless victory—the nomination—had perched upon our banners. This, particularly, because of the splendid support our people throughout the state gave us so freely and so willingly. It is simply impossible to find words with which to express our thorough appreciation of the splendid, united support given. For a man of our class of people, standing as a candidate for the Republican nomination for the second highest position in the great state of Ohio, and, too, for the first time in its history, to receive between 50,000 and 60,000 votes is a wonderful achievement for the loyal Afro-Americans of the "Buckeye" state. We are just as proud of the result as we can be and, as has already been said, nothing but securing the nomination itself could make us feel any better. It was indeed a wonderful result and will prove helpful to our people throut Ohio and the country for years to come. It is an opening wedge which will undoubtedly be taken advantage of in the near future. As far as we are concerned, it is but a beginning.

Tyler. An noyed Senator Harding—An Interview With The Next President of The U. S. Special to The Gazette NEW YORK City.—On arriving at the Harding home in Marion, O., on July 9, 1920, the writer learned that the administrator was in conference with his former manager, Mr. H. M. Daugherty and his senator. Senator was informed of his arrival, he sent word that he would see him on the adjournment of the conference. Senator Harding received him heartily, and when first asked of his disposition toward the Negro, he declared himself as being the race's friend, and that he wanted to do everything fairly and squately. He put special emphasis on the fact that he believed in democracy first at home. He said that he didn't believe in such practices as lynching and mob-law, which were opposed to democracy. He said: "Tell your people that I believe in being fair and square, and that I don't believe in adjoining too before we were informed." He seemed to be greatly annoyed over the confusion caused by some political grifters, who sent out the contemptible "lily-white" Texas lies. He said that he expressly stated that he wanted the "lily-white" and the "black and tans" to come together. He further said that he would have expressed himself in stronger terms, if the writer's wife had not been present. When asked what consideration he would give us as a race in his letter of acceptance on July 22nd, he said that there would be some mention of it in his letter, but not to any great extent, as he expected to make several speeches after July 22nd dealing with the situation. In the course of the interview, he stated that the different groups of people, such as the labor people, the Irish, etc., were asking what he was the country going to do for them. He said that there was one special thing that he wanted the writer to convey to the Colored people and to have them to think about it. It is this, "What are we going to do for the country?" He said in view of the present unsettled conditions of the country, it is more vital for all to think what they can do to help the country, rather than what the country is going to do for them. This, he said, did not only include the Colored group, but all others. His parting shot here was, "Let them meditate over this." The writer said to him that the Negro was not asking any favors, and the Senator for then, again stated that he would for "Square dealings and fair play." The writer further stated that what the race wanted, was a man in the White House who would be big enough to stand for what is right. On leaving, Senator Harding told the writer that he would be glad to hear from him at any time, and wanted him to write to him. J. R. B. Whitney.

It still thrives as ancient a type among birds as the badger is among quadrupeds. The legend of the pelican is: "The pelican turneth her beak against her breast, herewith pierceth it till the blood gusheth out, wherewith she nourisheth her young." On examination, the tradition explains itself. The distinctive features of the pelican are its enormous bill, with the commensurate pouch depending from the lower mandible. So great is the capacity of this pouch and so considerable its strength, that the natives of many countries to this day convert it into a very serviceable bag. The upper mandible terminates in a hook, which curves over the lip of the lower, and is of a redish color. The tint of the feathers is, in the words of the poet, "pearly white, but ruby tinctured." It may be assumed, the above fact being premised, that the two or three eggs laid by the mother bird have been hatched. Then the parents begin to realize that the cares of paternity are heavy indeed. The amount of food consumed by the young pelicans is prodigious. As pelicans derive the whole of their sustenance from the water and feed almost exclusively on fish, the use of their formidable fishing implements is apparent. Whether they are wading or swimming; they dredge and scoop out their prey into the pouch, where it passes through some amount of maceration before being given to the young. At this point enters that curious act to which the observers of so many ages have given an incorrect interpretation. In order to eject the contents of the pouch, the bird presses its bill strongly and with a kind of spasmodic action against its breast, and the pinkish hilt of its feathers, the red-tipped bill, and often enough the blood of its captured victims, combine to produce the effect that gave birth to the legend. This tradition seems to have found credence throughout Christendom, and the proverbial "pelican in her piety" took root both as a symbol and a phrase. By degrees the figure of the pelican feeding her young developed into a common emblem of charity, the use of which prevailed in southern Europe. The figure is sometimes found carved in wood or stone work of an ancient English churches, and is still used as a symbolic emblem of charity. The pelican is often used, too, as an ornament of the leftern in Episcopal churches. HOW GOLD LEAF IS MADE. Cast in Ingots and Flattened, Cut in Pieces and Beaten. Gold leaf, of which such large quantities are used by picture frame makers as well as by other trades, is made as follows: An alloy of the desired color having been formed, the gold is melted in a crucible at a temperature well above the fusion point. It is then cast into an ingot and flattened by rolling between a pair of powerful steel rollers into a ribbon, one and one-half inches wide and ten feet in length to the ounce. After being flattened it is annealed and cut into pieces of about six and one-half grains each, and placed between the leaves of a "cutch", which is about half an inch thick and three and a half inches square, containin- about 180 leaves of tough paper man-ufactured for the purpose. This is beaten on for about twenty minutes with a seventeen pound hammer by which the gold is spread to the size of the "cutch". Each leaf is then taken out and cut in four pieces. These are put between the leaves of a "shoder" four and a half inches square and three-quarters of an inch thick, containing about 720 skins which have been worn out in the "mold" or finishing process. The "shoder" requires about two hours beating with a nine-pound hammer. Each leaf is again cut in four pieces and placed between the leaves of a mold, composed of about 850 of the finest gold-beater's skins, five inches square and three-quarters of an inch thick, the contents of one "shoder" filling three molds. The material has now reached the last and most difficult stage of the process. During the first hour the hammer is allowed to fall principally on the center of the mold. This causes gaping cracks upon the edges of the leaves, the sides of which rapidly coalesce without leaving any trace of the union after being beaten upon. At the second hour, when the gold is about the one hundred and fifty thousand part of an inch in thickness, it for the first time permits the transmission of light. If the gold is pure, or but slightly alloyed, green rays pass through; when highly alloyed with silver, violet rays appear. As a rule, about four hours' beating with a seven-pound hammer is required. A single ounce of gold will at this stage trim to about 1,200 leaves three and a quarter inches square. The finished leaves are taken out of the mold and the rough edges trimmed off by slips of rattan fixed in parallele; grooves of an instrument called a wagon, the leaf being laid upon a leather cushion for that purpose. The leaves are placed in books capable of holding twenty-five leaves each which have been rubbed over with red ocher to prevent the gold from clinging to the paper. The fine gold beaters' skin is the outer coat of the cacum or blind gut of the ox, specially prepared—Painter and Decorator. Rubbing It In. "I often wonder what my ancestor Adam said when he first saw Eve," said an impecunious man to a friend. "Was he an ancestor of yours?" "Certainly." "Then I guess he asked her to lend him a dollar." SWINDLING AMBITIOUS GIRLS. Young girls come to New York by the scores of hundreds, determined to win fame and much money in motion pictures. They believe they can do this. In most cases they have only a little money and very few friends wiser than themselves. Sooner or later each receives a card of invitation, signed with an unfamiliar name, but bearing every evidence of good taste and sincerity. It informs the ambitious one that the writer has learned she is open for an engagement in the pictures, and if this is so will she please call. She does call, and is met with a cordiality that might arouse suspicion in a star, but which pleases the innocent one. Very adroitly she is put in possession of the information that she is needed in the work, but three or four weeks' training is absolutely necessary to prepare her, even though she may have acted for years on the stage. And the charge will be $50. Usually, if she seems reluctant, an assistant is called into conference, and presently a special price of $25 is agreed to. If it may be surmised from the conversation that a larger sum can be obtained, the aspirant for stellar roles is told that stock may be purchased in the corporation, in amounts anywhere from $100 to $1,000, and an investor will receive enormous dividends, and the necessary preparation for screen success without tuition. A contract is guaranteed to each investor. Everybody in filmmd knows of the existence of these concerns, of which there are several that vary but little in their plan of operation. They all carry regular ads in the daily papers. It is from response to these advertisements that addressed are obtained. One concern charges an enrollment fee of $5, a dollar each for a course of twenty lessons, and confers a diploma when these have been completed. Then the new actress is advised to have a strip of film made, just to show how well she screens. The charge for this is only $25. She is assured this is essential to success. The near-riot that often ensues when a young woman shows up with her strip of film and demands the star part which has been guaranteed her, and which she believes she has earned and paid for, would be very funny if it were not in very many cases so tragic. This very thing would happen oftener than it does, but for the fact that studios and managers are safeguarded against all visitors. - Film Fun. How to Light a Six-Room House. It is no small task even for a good engineer to arrange the lighting of an ordinary six-room house. Of course, when lighting is being considered and figured on, such little items as paint and wall paper make a great difference in the general results. In a general way it is a good rule t use light tints for both paper and paint because they reflect the light and consequently it does not require so many lamps or so much electricity to properly light the house. Dark wall paper absorbs the light and should be avoided es it is impossible to get a good lighting effect with dark tints. In laying out the plans for the following rooms it is to be understood that the walls and ceilings are tinted a light yellow or a light buff and that the wood work is only a shade or two darker. Porch light, located directly above the front door with switch in vestibule. An eight candle-power lamp is sufficient. Reception room, two ornamental ceiling lamp figuries for Tungsten 32 candle-power, lamps; controlled by button switch on the reception room side of vestibule hall, and also from the head of the stairs. This arrangement is most convenient. Living room, planned for two lighting effects. Fight light Tungsten ceiling figuries controlled from point near reception room entrance. This fixture may be installed so that a push of the button throws on one, two, three or five of the lights. A reading lamp is also provided for the table. Dining room is lighted with an ornamental pendant lamp hanging low from the ceiling. The lamp should be about 40 candle-power. Kitchen lighting is obtained from a single ceiling lamp switched on or off from wall near dining room entrance. Basement lighting should always be controlled from head of stairs with an indicating switch, enabling one to turn light on before going down stairs and turn it out after returning to the kitchen. In the modern home of today, where so many electrical appliances are used, it has become quite the fashion to install wall sockets for such conveniences as the electric iron, fans, small motors, chafing dish, cookers, and other heating devices. The upstairs hall light should be controlled from the head of the stairs. Bed room lighting should be controlled from a point very near the entrance. Wall brackets are used, their position varying with the style of furniture used. The bath room should be lighted with a wall lamp on each side of the mirror. Suitable wall sockets for such heating devices as the shaving mug, water heater, massage machine and luminous radiator to be provided. Small Tungsten lamps are suitable for all the upstairs lighting.

It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years, to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to 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 receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed the 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. (62 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 to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. 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 is 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 repatriation of the 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 failing to protect such prisoner or discourse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor has enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(ia the statutes) under the heading obs need. I representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. ist member of mob. ist another county. 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 assistance, a citizen except for reasons applicable due 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, and then what they should and must do for themselves, under it in the courts. SMITH VS. HILDEBRANT! Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith's Campaign Committee Chairman Persisted to the Last in Circulating the Big Charge of "Emulsion." Sec. Smith's Letter. Columbus, Ohio, August 3, 1920. Dear Sir—Because of unusual circumstances I wish very briefly, to advise you of a situation of great interest to me but of greater interest to our party. Harvey C. Smith, who is serving his first term as Secretary of State has been a faithful official, a credit to the Republican party. Through the use of the name of Harry Clay Smith, colored editor of Cleveland, an effort is being made to confuse voters and thereby secure the nomination of Mr. Hildebrant who is the third candidate for this office. To prevent this and to secure party harmony I ask you to interest your friends in voting for HARVEY C. SMITH, present incumbent. Remember that he has a middle initial only while the Cleveland man's name appears on the ballot with his middle name printed in the ballot. Let us put forth a determined effort in an appeal to the intelligence of our voters and defeat the plot laid by political tricksters for personal gain at the expense of the party. Yours very truly, Frank M. Ransbottom, chairman of the Harvey C. Smith Campaign Committee State Central Committeeman 15th District. Hildebrant's Reply Wilmington, O., Aug. 3, 1920. In the Cincinnati Enquirer of Sunday, August 1st, Mr. Frank Ransbottom of Roseville, O., chairman of the organization advocating the renomination of the present Secretary of State, contends that the opposition to Secy. Smith incited the candidacy of the Hon Harry Clay Smith, of Cleveland. Mr. Ransbottom seems to forget that the Supreme Court of Ohio gave Secy. Smith an opportunity to come before the Court at a certain time and produce the testimony in support of the charge of collusion, conspiracy, intimidation, Smith had brought testimony and failed to appear' Hence the charge against the Hon. Harry Clay Smith stands as untrue. Yet, Mr. Ransbottom endeavors to deceive the voters of Ohio by circulating and advertising the FALSEHOOD. In this connection I desire to say to the Republicans of Ohio that I have and nothing to do with the candidacy of the Hon Harry Clay Smith or any other Smith—have had no communication with either him, their relative to his candidacy and I demand any such statement as false and malicious.

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 obdurate 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.
