Y. Reporter's Insulting References To Our Clergy, Etc. Are Negroes Bolshevists? The answer to this query depends upon what is meant by "Bolshevists". If Bolshevism means a protest against unjust government, then many Negroes are Bolshevists and do not apologize for so being. The American Negro has been a kind of "nimoom-poo." He has accepted what this country gave him without any concerted protest. He has remained peaceful in spite of "hell let loose on his tracks." He has read of the most vitriolic attacks upon him in the nation's capital and that, too, by men who were there making laws for white America but digging a pit for black America. He has read about himself as "a brute" and has seen his people strung up by the rope and while dying he has seen the proud white Americans dancing about the charred bodies of their wretched victims. He has been called to war and during the war was made to war and during the war was comrade. He has stood on foreign soil and heard men say that he was "a brute" and any woman was "unsafe" near him. He lived down the african crowd on foreign soil but when he returned home he met a damnable crowd of vicious slackers and purgers, who remained at home plotting to reduce him to servility or destroy him by mob violence. He lived the lies about self-determination and democracy alike for all races but saw at every turn the government, for which he fought, using its force to make him a dog. He turned his attention to the south and from that source the ghosts of murdered Negroes appealed to him for revenge. In spite of all these things, the American Negro has remained an exemplary citizen. However, a caheh has been wrought in him. He recognizes that when he was peaceful he was murdered and despoiled of all American rights and now he is determined to get all that America gives any citizens. If in his attempt to get this the diabolical American propagandist will denominate him Bolshevist, he accepts the name and will do all in his power to oust the real Bolshevists who are in power only to get their good at the expense of the government and its citizens. The Negro in his fight for freedom will be orderly and law-abiding. What the Negro must fight against the hardest, is the American court of law. The spirit that caused the Dred Scott decision is now causing the upholding of "jim-crow" laws and other oppressive measures that are grinding the life-blood out of the Negro. The decisions of the courts of the south have indicated that the judges there believe in "America for white men." Evidently, the department of "justice" in southern states, is in league with lynchers. So soon as a colored man is arrested, that moment the lynchers are assured they can have whatever they desire. The state of affairs, as has been described, must stop. If white men who are in the majority do not stop this orgy of crime against the civil rights of the Negro, than the Negro is compelled to strike for himself. In America, white men have no confidence in each other. Cox's damnable charge against the Republican party shows what a nominee for the presidency of this nation thinks of white men when they see something they desire. It shows that Cox would not trust the managers of the Republican party because he believes them dishonest. Most assuredly they do not have any regard for Cox's word and would not trust him for they believe he is untruthful. They feel that he is the spreader of a scandal that has no existence in fact. In other words white men who must run the government, for either Cox or the managers of the Republican party will run the government, have no confidence in each other, especially if they be outside of their political party. Much of this is due to the fact that both Republicans and Democrats have joined hands in robbing black Americans. If for selfish reasons, men will join in to rob a people of another race they will also rob one another if any advantage will accrue to them. Under such conditions black Americans must support the government when no one seems to have any confidence in it. Of all men, black men have reasons to disbelieve white men who have the government in their hands. If this disbelief is Bolshevism, then the most of us are Bolshevists. We look upon those who have wrecked human confidence in government, to be worse than the Reds of Russia. If the Wilson administration did not make us Bolshevists, then the Devil can't. The Negro Pilgrimage to Marion. primage was to advance a certain political organization and their boosters. Thousands of colored men and women should have gone. The gangsters and ringers did not want them to go. There were men high up in the Negro race and influential in its councils that did not know of the date of the pilgrimage. It was only at the last minute that some people in Jersey City found it out. The soundrels that are responsible for this infamous work should be exposed and be driven out of the national Republican headquarters. Mr. Harding spoke manly and his carnest assurances will mean much. Colored voters will support him in spite of the infamous crew that are trying to defeat him by their wicked selfishness. We do not like the way the Sun and New York Herald reported this pilgrimage. It said "the colored brother." This is the "white trash's way" of reflecting upon the colored man. This is the way to say to the world that he is not to be considered seriously. Negroes claim no relationship to that class of newspaper reporters who have not sense and decency enough to treat them as men. We are tired being held as a "joke" by unworthy newspaper reporters. It is disgusting. This reporter spoke of them as "Baptists and Methodists." This, too, was a "filing." It is an honorable thing to be a Methodist or a Baptist. The reporter did not mean to reflect upon the great religious denominations bearing these names but he simply meant to reflect upon the Negro clergy. We resent this as infamous and dirty. These men went there not as religionists but as American citizens desirous of seeing the rid of a Democratic incubus that is demoralizing to everything. Ministers may have been there but they were there as voters and citizens and not preachers. We are tired of half-baked white men slurring the colored ministry. Do something to help improve it instead of slurring it, if you would do anything. All colored people are not Methodists and Baptists. There were men of all religions in that crowd. Some of these men were finely educated and would compare with any clergy, like the speech of Attorney Lewis compares in eloquence, diction, breadth of political wisdom and national breadth, with any white attorneys. White men take us seriously, for we no longer grin and cut "monkey-capers" for you. We are men! You are less than men, if you do not accord us what is ours. JUGGERNAUTS—1920 MODEL. Take all the fatal accidents that happen on all the steam railroads in the United States; on all the river, lake, and coastwise steam, sail and motor boats; in all airplane transportation; on all the overhead, underground and surface electric lines; in all the coal mines; in all the foundries and blast furnaces; in all the factories and machine shops; in every more or less dangerous industry of whatever sort. Take all of these varied and prolific sources of sudden death and add up together all the fatalities in each. Then multiply the staggering sum total of mortality by 3, and you will have a product still far below the annual sum total of deaths in the United States from the devastating record of the automobile. There is in the country an organization known as the National Safety Council. Its executive committee held a meeting a few days ago in Atlantic City. It was at this meeting that the above generalizations of motor traffic mortality were presented and supported by incontrovertible facts and figures. These facts and figures fully bear out the statement that in the United States one person is killed by an automobile on an average every 35 minutes the year round.—Harvey's Weekly.

How the Arthur Boys Were Lynched and Three Sisters Outraged— "Southern Chivalry." PARIS, Texas—I am writing you concerning a lynching which occurred here last month. Doubtless you have long since gotten the details, if not I will give you facts as I witnessed them. Herman and Irvin Arthur, Negroes with their parents were tenants on Hodges Farm. They were working on halves, a system whereby the landlord furnishes his tenants and at harvest time takes half the crop and the amount with interest which he furnished his tenants during the year. Against the usual custom here Hodges compelled his tenants to work all day Saturday. This they did for a time, washing and ironing their clothes on Sunday. When they refused to work longer than noon Saturday Hodges became angry and went to their home on the farm 3 days before the murder and took their dinner off the stove and threw it into the yard. He also kicked their stove and household goods out in the yard. During this time Hodges' son held a gun on the Negroes. He also compelled the boys to pull off their shoes and clothes; their sisters to pull off their dresses and give them to claim, the Negroes were in debt to him. After this they decided to move from his farm. When they had begun loading a truck Hodges and his son came up and began shooting at them. Herman Arthur ran into the house and secured a gun and came out and killed both men who were yet firing at them. A mob lynched both Negroes. After they were burned their bodies were dragged thru the streets on which colored people lived. There was a regular parade of 17 cars and a truck with white men crying aloud—"Here are the barbecued niggers; all you niggers come out and see them and take warning." When asked if they were sorry they killed the white man, Herman Arthur who had recently served 18 months on the firing line in France replied, "No, I am not sorry, I would do the same thing again. I would kill any man who imposed upon my mother and sisters. The three Arthur girls aged 20, 17 and 14 were in jail on the pretense of protection. They were severely beaten for screaming while the mob was taking their brothers from the jail. Later on in the night they were taken to the basement and there assaulted by 20 white men, after which they were given a bucket of molasses, a small sack of flour and some bacon and told to hit the road. I forgot to mention that these girls were stripped of all their clothing in the basement, kept there nearly all night and first criminally assaulted by the officers and then by 20 other white men of the same low type. They were threatened with death if they ever told it. Then they were made to leave town by these same officers. Hundreds of Negroes have left Paris since this occurrence. Others who have real estate, are planning to leave as soon as possible. You are at liberty to publish what you see fit of this only keep secret my name. Whites Rape Colored Girls. MARSHALL, Texas.—Two young girls were held up on the public streets at night by two police officers, illegally arrested and outraged in the town lockup and then set at liberty before sun-up. There has been no talk of lynching because these girls are colored and the men white. The two young colored girls, both under sixteen years, were on their way home with escorts, when they were accosted by Patrolman M. McGay and Constable J. Melton, both white, on the technical charge of "disturbing the peace." The charge was only a ruse to get the party to the lock-up where the boys were kept in the basement, and the two girls taken upsis where they were shamelessly raped. Parts of their clothing were torn off. Jack Johnson Sentenced! CHICAGO, Ill.-Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion, was sentenced to one year and a day in Leavenworth penitentiary and fined $1,000, Tuesday, by Federal Judge George A. Carpenter for violation of the Mann act. "This man has since shown all the way throughout and after his trial a complete disregard for our laws. If I have made any mistake it is on the side of lenency," Judge Carpenter said. Johnson was present when sentence was passed. His attorneys immediately declared they wished to enter another appeal. Judge Carpenter ruled against it but granted a stay of execution until Saturday (today) to permit consultation of appeal court judges. Endorse An Impossibility LOOK AT APPELLATION COLUMBUS, Sept. 10—Delegates to the "Boyd" National Baptist convention, in session here, last week, pledged themselves to do everything in their power to obtain a federal antitrust law. Norbert Henry Lincoln Johnson of the Republican national committee for Georgia, explained provisions of the Republican platform as affecting Afro-Americans. Last Friday morning more than 200 of the delegates went to Marion to see and hear Senator Harding. It is a marvel why any sect points with pride to southern numbers when those numbers are linked with the four great slurs on the nation's fair name; all four, illiteracy, child labor, lynching and bigotry, having their stronghold in the South—Chicago (ill.) New World. M. SENATOR HARDING TO OUR PEOPLE! Special to The Gazette. MARION, O. — Last Friday was certainly our day with Senator Harding, here. In the morning came about 200 members of the “Morris” National Baptist convention, in annual session at Indianapolis. They had as their spokesman, the Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia’s member (and our only member) of the Republican National Committee, and chairman of its Afro-American speakers’ bureau, with headquarters in Chicago, and Rev. C. J. Morris. In the afternoon came about 200 of the “Boyd” National Baptist Convention, in annual session at Columbus, with the Hon. Wm. H. Lewis, former Assistant Attorney General at Boston, as their spokesman. Five years ago these two conventions, most of the members of which are located in the south, were united in one great organization and it is hoped they will eventually re-unit. Here also, in the afternoon, were a delegation headed by Rev. J. G. Robinson of Philadelphia, one headed by Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter, representing the National Association of the National Race Congress, Washington, D. C.; another, representing our section of the M. E. church; a delegation from Cleveland, headed by the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, recent candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State of Ohio, which arrived in the morning about 10:30 o’clock; and smaller delegations from various parts of Ohio, making in all over 500 of the race to visit this little city from abroad that day. A grand showing—the equal of any that has been here, thus far. Hon. Charles Cottrell of Toledo, former U. S. Internal Revenue Collector at Honolulu, Hawaii, introduced very acceptably the speakers in the afternoon. He too, is connected with the Republican National headquarters at Chicago. Others to speak were: Rev. and Mrs. J. G. Robinson, Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce, president of our National Federation of Women’s Clubs, and Mrs. Lethia Fleming of Cleveland, head of our Women’s Bureau at Republican headquarters, Chicago. Senator and Mrs. Harding, with Gen. John J. Pershing, welcomed the delegations at the front porch. There were the customary handshaking and picture taking, and then prayer. The salutation was made by Attorney Lewis. From Marion to White House. Mr. Lewis told the Senator that our people quite understand that the road to the White House, this year, leads through Ohio, but through Marion, not Dayton. He said the inspiration for the visit was the desire on the part of Afro-Americans to renew their pledges of fidelity and devotion to the political party of their fathers. He said Afro-Americans are just as confident of being as well received by President Harding as they were being handsomely welcomed by Candidate Harding. And he added, with a touch of religious ardor: "Of all the pilgrims who shall come to your front door none will come with more anxious hearts and more fervent prayers than the group representing twelve millions of your colored fellow citizens. Other groups may have been affected by the lack of capacity, the efficiency and the extravagance of the present administration, but we have suffered from its indifferences, its malevolence and its persecution. We have been the victims of the present administration far more than any other class of citizens, eliminated from participation in government, segregated in the civil service and denied the equal protection of the law." Mr. Lewis gave the positive assurance that Afro-Americans have no use for the League of Nations, "for," said he, "you cannot amend the constitution by treaty or change the form of government by automatic methods of administration. We were thrilled by your pronouncement that you would IN UNION WE IS STRENGTH COPY FIVE CENTS never empower an Assistant Secretary of the Navy to write a constitution for a sister republic. What kind of a League of Nations would you have with the smaller republics held as vassal states? What we need is a league of humanity founded upon the Golden Rule." Our speakers appealed to Senator Harding to make democracy safe for our people and their children, to end mob rule. They knew of no other way to get protection than through the Republican party. They told the nominee that he measured up to Presidential stature, in their belief, and that he would find that our votes would count heavily for him in the pivotal states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. For we have more to gain by the success of the party this year and more to lose by its failure than any other class of citizens," Mr. Lewis said, in finishing. Promises Justice to Our People. In replying Senator Harding told the visitors straightaway that if elected he would see that they got justice and equal opportunities! "Too much doctrine based upon another principle has been loosed upon a war worn world," he continued. "Abroad, particularly in Russia, there has grown up the idea that by some impossible magic a government can give out bounty by merely writing liberty and equality over its door, and that citizenship need make no deposit in the bank of the common weal in order to write checks upon that bank. Here at home we have had too much encouragement of the idea that a government is a something for nothing institution. But I say that citizenship is not based upon what one can get, but upon what one gives. I say, and I wish that I could speak through you to all Americans, 'let's serve.' "Under that slogan of good citizenship there is no reason why you should not hold your heads up high. You and your race in America have the good sense to know that it is only in a country where merit, capacity and worth are recognized that merit, capacity and worth are developed. You and I know, and good Americans, of whatever color, blood or creed, know that the aspiration of all men is equal opportunity, and that no injustice known to man can be greater than that of the tyranny and autocracy that labels itself democracy, of Bolshevism or proletariat, and enslaves all men and their ambition and their freedom with the iron hand of mediocrity. The American Negro has the good sense to know this truth. He has the clear head and the brave heart to live it. I proclaim to all the world the truth which America ought to know, that he has met the test and that he did not and will not fail America. I proclaim that America has not and will not fail the American Negro." Praises Our Patriotism. He reviewed the achievements of the race in this country, commenting upon their industry, their disposition toward religion and their patriotism, and noting especially that Afro-Americans invested one dollar out of every five we possessed of Liberty bonds, and that 340,000 of our boys were in the army, with only one draft dodger in the lot. He closed with this pledge of especial interest to our people: "If I have anything to do with it there shall be good American obedience to the law. Brutal, unlawful violence, whether it proceeds from those that break the law or from those that take the law, into their own hands, can only be dealt with in one way by true Americans. Fear not; here, upon this beloved soil you shall have that justice that every man and woman of us knows would have been prayed for by Abraham Lincoln. Your people by their restraint, their patience, their wisdom, integrity, labor and belief in God have earned it, and America will bestow it." Gen. John J. Pershing, who was (Continued on page 4) One Year $2.00 Six Months 1.00 Three Months .50 Subscribern are requested to remit by Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1920. If two photographs, one of the modest Harding home in Marion, and the other of "Trail's End," the Cox mansion, which is one of the show places of Dayton, were placed side by side the contrast would be one of the sharpest ever drawn in the wordly estate of two candidates for the highest office in the gift of the American people. It would make a strong campaign document, too. What's the idea in "pecking at" Dr. Emmett J. Scott? Regardless of what the technical name of his position was in the secretary of war's office, he did good work and a lot of it. This we know and there are many others like us. It was a most trying position and we do not know another man of the race in the country who would have done any better, if as well, with the thankless task. Our Dr. Wm. A. Byrd does not wish to convey the idea that Afro-Americans are Bolshevki or Bolshevists, because they are nothing more nor less than one hundred per cent Americans, in spite of the most miserable treatment, too often. If there is anything in this country that savors of Bolshevism it is in that prejudiced south among the "erackers" and other prejudiced whites, many of whom have "strayed" north in recent years, we are sorry to say. FORGOTTEN. We note that the Democratic editors and campaign managers never mention the name of their most illustrious leader of the last half century-Grber Cleveland. Cleveland was nominated over the bitter opposition of Tammany Hall. Cox was Tammany's first choice. The party, with Cox for a leader, could scarcely be expected to remember a man of Cleveland's stature. RIGHT UNDER THEIR NOSES. The Federal Trade Commission says profits of 250 per cent are being made on coal landed at Hampton Roads. West Virginia operators bring coal to that point at $5.40 a ton, much of which is resold at $14.50 a ton and small users have to pay as high as $21. Here is a pretty clear case for the Department of Justice prosecutors if they could abstain long enough from their investigation of corner grocery proprietors. WORTH THE PRICE. In private business, men are willing to put forth great effort to secure efficient supervisory help. They pay high salaries in order to get the men they want to help run their business. In the 66th Congress the Republicans cut the Democratic estimates of appropriations to the extent of $2,500,000,000, thus demonstrating their superiority in government management. Naturally, the wise business men of the country are trying to put the Republicans in control of the administrative as well as of the legislative branch of the government. And, in the effort to attain that end, they are gladly contributing liberally to the Republican campaign fund. Even if the fund were $15,000,000, as Mr. Cox alleges, it would be only three-fifths of one per cent of the amount saved in one Congress. If the country is contributing as liberally as Mr. Cox asserts, the people are certainly showing good judgment. Senator Harding's addresses to the hundreds of Afro-American delegates who called on him, last Friday at Marion, simply delighted all who heard them. He is a sincere, conscien- tious, honest and truthful man and our people can place the fullest confidence in him and all he says of special interest to them. This WE know! The campaign has already progressed far enough for all to see and note the most marked difference between him and Gov. James "Birth-of-a-Nation" Cox. One is a statesman, big, brainy and broad with exceptional ability; the other a shifty, crafty politician, "pure and simple," allied with southern Democracy and, like the present occupant of the White House, entirely too ready to say almost anything in order to "catch votes." It will do him no good, however, this time as every political "straw" indicates. Even those away down in Georgia, as well as in Maine, show "which way the political wind is blowing." There is going to be a White House and governmental department "cleaning" beginning next March, just so sure as there is an election in November. DOINGS OF THE RACE Chicago's Afro-American population is said to number 150,000. A colored and white man were lynched in Oklahoma, in recent weeks. Dr. F. S. Belcher has been appointed by the mayor of Savannah, Ga. Keith's Alhambra theater, N. Y. city, has a civil rights' suit on its hands. It drew a color line. Last week our women of Birmingham, Ala. were refused the right to register in order to vote in November. Pierre Du Pont of Delaware gave $900,000 to build and equip schools for our children in the rural districts of that state. Attorney Francis H. Warren of Detroit is the candidate for prosecuting attorney of Wayne county on the nonpartisan ticket. Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce has been reappointed assistant superintendent of schools, Washington, D.

Wright of Georgia has opened a bank in Philadelphia and will add to it a Title & Trust Co. He is the editor of the Christian Recorder's father. John R. Shillady (white), until recently secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., has been appointed to the newly created position of executive director of the National Consumers' League. Former U. S. Senator Hardwick, just nominated as the Democratic candidate for governor of Georgia and a great supporter of the Cox candidacy, in a speech complimenting U. S. Senator Smith, recently defeated for renomination in that state, referred to the time when he was the effective officer of a nomination of Thomas E. Watson, Hoke Smith and Thomas W. Hardwick forces that the Negro was disfranchised in Georgia. Watson defeated Smith at the recent primaries. We have received copies of The Cleveland Gazette, edited by Harry Clay Smith, who received over 61,000 votes for Secretary of State in the recent primary election, representing two-thirds of the colored vote of the state, and Mr. Smith is proud of the showing. He claims that many colored voters attended the primary to vote for him, and likewise for other candidates on the ticket. Otherwise, they would not have taken the trouble to vote. Mr. Smith has visited Cadiz to make addresses on several occasions, and in meeting him, along with the other Republican editors at Marion, last month, we found him a very pleasant gentleman. He sent his best regards to his Cadiz friends. Prof. W. H. Lucas, B. S. Lee and M. F. Walker—Cadiz (O.) Republican, Sept. 2, '20.

A Sermon to Our Industrial Workers in the North-Good Advice on Migration. WASHINGTON, D. C. It is believed by many that the return of the thousands of foreigners who left the farms, factories and mills of this country for the purpose of assisting the country of their nativity during the recent World's War, and the increasing arrival of other thousands who, in seeking to escape the industrial turmoil peculiar to the reconstruction era in the European countries, are eagerly seeking for the first time, opportunities for employment in America, may retard to some extent, the further industrial development of our race in the great industrial centers of the North. To one who has made a study of employment conditions in a number of large manufacturing districts, there is no reason to believe that there will be a wholesale discharge of colored workers, especially from the plants in which they have "made good," because the progressive manufacturer of today is not building factories merely to give employment to white, black or yellow workers. The employers operate factories for the purpose of turning out goods which can be sold at a profit. In other words, they are interested in production rather than in the color of their workers, because production means dividends, and dividends mean business expansion, home comforts, luxuries and travel. The market for automobiles, for instance, is not affected, and the public does not refuse to ride in cars simply because colored men work in the automobile factories, and it is not likely that a man will refuse to heat his house because colored men mined the coal stored in his bin. So then after all it is largely a question of labor supply, wages and production. With a surplus of labor, however, one thing is certain. There will now be a weeding out of the men who have not made good, the fellows who will not punch the clock on time, the fellows who are continually drawing their wages in advance of the regular pay day, the fellows who never give notice of their intention to lay off, the fellows who contribute to a decreased production by attending every funeral and by laving off every pay day, and the fellows who who matter time by going around who tellliness their friend, what a powerful mother another Jones preached, what a lovely corpse Sister Sarah made, or what a great time they had "at the lodge meeting last night." These are the men who will be selling shoe strings on the corner when the foreigners return and seek a place in industry. Possibly some systematic effort should now be made to direct or even to arrest, during the fall and winter months, the heavy migration of our people from the South. It is probable that they cannot be readily absorbed at this time by the industries, and that by directing them to the agrarian areas of the Northeast West where there are ample opportunities for development, a great deal of suffering during the winter months may be averted. For the men of our race who KNOW HOW TO FARM and who can tide themselves over the winter months there are splendid investment CENTRAL S A RACE G. J.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPTEMBER 18:1920. TATES ARE VICTORS. By far the largest crowd, that has ever attended a game at Naco field, Sunday, saw the Naco Giants go down before the fighting Tates Stars, 4 to 2 in the first of their three-game series. The Nacos went into the lead in the second inning but the Tates were not to be denied and tied it up in the fifth thru a walk, a hit, sacrifice and an error and forged to the front in the sixth, adding their last tally in the ninth. The Stars were outfitted three to one but Lefty Brady tightened in the pinches and refused to allow the timely bingle while Leonard's walks and several bunched hits proved his undoing. Oberlin Loses. OBERLIN.—The Tate Stars of Cleveland, defeated the locals in a fast game, 3 to 1. Sept. 8. Brady bested the local crack, Harrington, in a red-hot pitchers' battle. Wilson featured at bat for the visitors. The scheduled eight-round bout at the Ice Palace in Philadelphia, last Wednesday night between Sam McVey and Harry Wills, conqueror of Fred Fulton, was declared no contest in the sixth round by the referee, who declared McVey did not try to make a contest. Wills picked up McVey and tossed him out of the ring in the second round on account of the latter's holding tactics. Wills furnished what little fighting was done. A crowd of about eight hundred was at Naco field and with proper accommodations a much larger number would have attended. It surely looks as if with a decent park and a good team the Fifth City would show up well. "Bobo" Leonard staged a real comeback and showed a fine assortment of stuff. With a little better control, he would have beaten the Tates. Getting only three hits and beating a team that gets ten is some baseball. The Tates showed more "inside ball" and can attribute their victory to the better generalship. Simpson played a classy game afield and at bat, getting three clean drives, while Slaughter was in the game "up to his ears" starring with his great stop and throw of R. Moore's hot bid for a hit back on the grass. Means racial Progress Cleveland, O. Aug. 27, '20. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City.

My dear Smith--I am just home from the East where I met many prominent people. Everybody is happy over the great record made by you in the recent primary. It is a big thing and will mean much for your future. To pull over 61,000 votes in these distressing times, with two other candidates (for renomination) in the field and both of these, white men, is little less than miraculous. Surely, the world moves and the Negro with it. I congratulate you and wish for you a great future! Cordially yours, W. S. Scarborough. Our Leading Men of the State Were Not Invited. Columbus, O.—The meeting, called for Wednesday afternoon, at Garfield hall, this city, by Mr. John Logan of this city, said to be the Afro-American member of the Republican State Executive committee, and Councilman Thos. W. Fleming of Cleveland, a member of the Cuyahoga County Republican executive committee, was not largely attended. The object was to form a state organization. The leading Afro-American Republicans of Ohio were conspicuous only by their absence from the meeting. This bodes ill for Harry L. Davis, candidate for governor on the Republican ticket whom Fleming is seeking to boost in preference to candidates Harding and Willis, it is said.

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, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or 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 6232. 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 has been, to include it with the costa 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 the person responsible for the loss or serious injury 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 falling to protect such prisoner or dispuse 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 Garette we print below the law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading text of Hon. Hari 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: 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 amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the commissions, advantages, facilities or privileges of any inn, be fined not more than $10,000 dollars or more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the court. (Continued from Page 1) Senator and Mrs. Harding's guest until late Friday afternoon, when he departed for Washington, spoke to the delegates both morning and afternoon, avoiding all semblance of political discussion, but paying brief, but high tribute to the part borne in the World War by our people at home and in the service. One of those who conferred with the Senator during the day was Editor Trotter who asked that segregation of our employees of the federal government be abolished and declared afterward that the nominee had given the request appreciative consideration. Clevelanders who were in the delegation headed by the Hon. Harry C. Smith were: Dr. E. A. Bailey, S. E. Woods, Thos. W. Fleming, Harry E. Davis, C. E. Gordon, S. B. Thompson, Juriman C. Hudson, Attorney and Mrs. A. H. Martin and their guest, Mrs. Nellie Baker Cox of Coffeville, Kan., former resident of Cleveland; A. D. Male of Mesopotamia, Q., guest of Editor Smith; Mr. Wm. Brack and others. The impression made by the visitors upon local residents was excellent and those of us who live here were and are very proud indeed of the fact. One of the most encouraging events of the gathering was the cordiality shown by Mrs. Harding, also. She commenced shaking the hands of our women in attendance (and there were a number from the south also), on the famous front porch, and finished down on the walk in front of the house, greeting likewise many of the male members of the delegations. The senator certainly has a wonderful helpmate in his wife, a splendid woman. Henry Lincoln Johnson says "You may never know; it is beyond human words to tell of the splendid hope that Senator Harding has inspired in the souls of the most lowly, yet most loyal group in American citizenship." PROTEST AGAINST WORNG. 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, an guillotines decide our least dispatches. The few who dare, must speak against the wrong man many. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox - this theater venue. "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. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPTEMBER 18, 1920.
