Sept. 19, 1920. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor, Cleveland, O. Editor Gazette Cleveland, Dear Sip:—There is a well founded rumor, going the rounds of the city, that certain colored persons are circulating, throughout the city, a petition that a great number of colored people are signing, asking that Cleveland be given "separate schools." It's origin, as far as I can learn, comes from some supposed and misguided southern Negro "professor," and as is usually the case, it is being given support by that ignorant southern class. Bob Bass's nephew says that he has been approached with it and tonight, in talking with Dr. Philen, I learn that he also has heard of it. Knowing as I do just how you personally feel in regard to such a disgraceful and ignorant proposition and not knowing whether you have heard of this thing, I am taking the liberty to inform you now, and feel positive that you will investigate this very damaging matter and give it a well deserved death-blow at once. Our ministers should preach daily against this from their pulpits and every Sunday, and all intelligent and self-respecting Negro's should do their utmost to find the party or parties who are seeking to bring such vile conditions upon us here in Cleveland and run him or them out of town. I sincerely hope that The Gazette will expose this matter in its next issue. Wishing you success, I remain Very truly yours. Alvin J. Sellers, (A Macon, Ga, "boy".) Senator Warren G. Harding. "The Most Shocking Assertion Ever Made by a Responsible Government Official," Says Senator Harding. MARION, O.—Senator Warren G. Harding, the Republican candidate for president, played the leading role in the opening of the Republican state campaign in Ohio, with a constitutional address, last Friday afternoon, to Buckeye delegates composing the largest assemblage that has besieged the front porch since the nomination. Speaking to crowds which poured into Marion from nine Ohio counties, Senator Harding defined, as the paramount issue of the presidential contest, "the constitution of the United States versus the covenant of the League of Nations." He brought out the fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic nominee for vice-president, has by his own mouth officially admitted "the rape of Haiti and Santo Domingo by the present administration." "We must" the Senator said "strictly maintain and serupicious observe, in letter and in spirit, the mandates of the constitution of the United States. We are not doing so now. We are at war, not alone technically with Germany, but actually with the little helpless republics of our own hemisphere. The wars upon our neighbors to the south were made and are still being waged though never declared; through the usurpation by, the executive of powers not only never bestowed upon him, but serupiously withheld by the constitution. Of this fact there can be no question. It is admitted, even boasted of, by the Democratic candidate for vice president, between whom, if elected, and the presidency itself would be but a single life. "You know, he (Roosevelt) said to the people of Montana, as his words were quoted by the press. "I have had something to do with the running of a couple of little republics. The fact is that I wrote Haiti's constitution myself and, if I do say it, I think it is a pretty good constitution. Until last week. I had two votes in the league assembly; now Secretary Daniels has them." To the best of my information, this is the first official admission of the rape of Haiti and Santo Domingo by the present administration. To my mind, moreover, it is the most shocking assertion that ever emanated from a responsible member of the government of the United States." In a speech here on August 28, '20, Senator Harding said: "So many things have been done by the present expiring administration that no power on earth could induce me to do, that I cannot even attempt to recount them. However, if I am elected, as I fully expect to be, I will not empower an assistant secretary of the navy to draft a constitution for helpless neighbors in the West Indies and jam it down their throats at the point of hayonets borne by United States Marines. Nor will I missuse the power of the executive to cover with a veil of secrecy repeated acts of unwarranted interference in domestic affairs of the little republics such as in the past few years have not only made enemies of those who should be our friends but have frightfully discredited our country as their trusted neighbor."

Todd, SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS The South's One Aim—Our Great Mistake—Bad "Leadership"—No Organized Effort—Too Passive—Our Duty as Voters! Many writers in Negro magazines are speaking and writing discouragingly about our men voting the republican ticket in November. To our mind there is one and only ONE ticket for a member of the race to vote. Harding and Coolidge, stand-bearers of the republican party, have spoken as no other nominees in the years, respecting the rights of our people. The republican party, even though in the past it has not done what it should, nevertheless is the only hope for the race now as it is the only hope for the country. The Democratic party, means the south. The men and women of the north, who support the Democratic party as now constituted, must actively or secretly subscribe to ballot-box thieving and constitutional abrogation. what their own dogged wills can give them. We are largely to blame for our political plight in the south. Negroes are leaving the south and making their homes all over the country. They are becoming voters where they live. Their voting must not depend upon conditions where they came from, but upon the conditions of the states where they now live. It is plainly the duty of our men and women to put out of power the rotten Democratic hypocritical machine that has been operating for nearly eight years. Thank God for the opportunity to strike the Democratic party, the sign and exponent of oppression, a blow by an intelligent ballot for Harding. We admit, however, that if Harding and Coolidge are elected, we shall organize the Negroes of the country for a defensive move in pro- of the Negro's freedom and privileges in this country! Nothing possible that it could do, has been left undone to paint the Negro as a "beast" and treat him as a "brute". The one aim of the south is to have the Negro considered in America as a creature to be used and treated as white men desire. Every black man that can cast a vote, should vote for Harding and Coolidge and for republican congressmen and senators. Our great mistake is, we have sat still and cried about the way the party has treated us and have never made an intelligent and manly fight within the party to correct the condition complained of. We have based our cry upon the treatment accorded our people in the south. Our, men, who have shaped our destiny in the republican party, are from the south. These men stay in the south, use their political pull to go to conventions, but do not use the same amount of courage to have our men vote, at home. There has been no organized effort to have our men meet the requirements of the restricted franchise in the south and vote, so as to put an end to southern domination. Our people in the south, even some of the professional ones, do not even take time to register and many of them say in conversation that "our people in the south should stay out of politics." Negroes in the south for many years have not fought and died for their rights of franchise. They have accepted with crying what the Democratic south has given them, depending upon the republican party to come down there and give a people OHIO PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE. Organized at the State Capital to Better the Political and Civic Interests of the Race in This State. COLUMBUS, O.—On Wednesday, Sept. 15, a number of our men and women met in Garfield Hall, this city, on the invitation of Thomas W. Fleming of Cleveland and John C. Logan of this city, to organize to better the political and civic condition of our people in Ohio. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Fleming, temporary chairman. E. T. Banks was elected temporary secretary. Talks were made by Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Prof. W. S. Searborough, Robert Barcus, Rev. C. M. Hogan, A. C. Alford, B. F. Hughes and others.

Conviction of Henry Stephenson by the Duluth, Minn. jury, recently, on the charge of rioting in connection with the lynching of three Afro-American circus hands on the night of June 15, 1920, was the first of its kind in the state, and one of but few throughout the entire country.

Every one admires and subscribes to the sterling Americanism being preached, these days, by Senator Warren G. Harding. The difference between Harding and Cox is the difference between a statesman and a demagogue, between a conservative and a radical, between an American and an internationalist, between a gentleman and a boor. Franklin "Haiti" Roosevelt waited a "mighty" long time to deny that newspaper report. For that reason, we are still inclined to believe he did say what he was quoted as saying. Whether he did or not, he does not deny having written that miserable "makeshift" that was forced on Haiti and called a "constitution." That is enough to make him undesirable, as candidate for office, as far as our people are concerned, to say the least, Mr. Wilson has now reached that period of his convalescence where he is able to, enter his automobile from the front instead of the rear door of the White House. That achieved, he may now be able to write something in behalf of the Democratic campaign. When Gov. Cox was nominated it was announced that probably the President's health would not permit of his taking the stump, but that he would materially aid the Democratic candidate by his frequent writings. Since then the White House silence has been oppressive! Thos. W. Fleming, who came to Marion from Columbus, and Sid Thompson did not head the delegation of our people that went to Marion from this city, two weeks ago yesterday. On invitation of the Harding headquarters there, the editor of The Gazette sent out invitations, and headed the delegation from Cleveland to Marion on that day. The Cleveland correspondent of the Chicago Defender was certainly imposed upon by some local individual whose disregard for the truth we fear is notorious. WHY MAINE WENT REPUBLICAN As one exchange puts it, the Democratic administration threw rocks at the profiteer but hit the producer. The consumers were not benefited. Therefore, if each voter casts his ballot according to the manner in which he has been affected, the profiteers will be against the Democrats for throwing the rocks; the producers, because they got hit by the illthrown stones, and the consumers, because they have had no relief from high prices. Who, then, is left to vote the Democratic ticket this fall? INTERMENT IN ORDER Pretender Roosevelt—the Hon. Franklin "Haiti" Roosevelt—avers that the Democratic party is the essence of the League of Nations and "Tammany" Cox says the Monroe Doctrine is the essence of the League. The League appears to be prolific of essence and effluin, indicative, no doubt, of the fact that it has advanced far beyond the stage of rigor mortis. Young Roosevelt's analysis is acceptable to the majority of us. The League is a distillation of the misnamed Democratic party and British imperialism. It is called the British-Wilson League because it is 50 per cent British and 50 per cent Wilson, and Wilson is 75 per cent British and 25 per cent personal afflatus. Composed as it is of such essences, the American people do not find it essential to their peace and prosperity, while the odor of the thing advises that interment is in order—on election "LET AMERICA DO IT"! The mayor of St. Etienne, France, is appealing to Americans of Texas and Oklahoma, formerly of the 36th Division, A. E. F., to help restore his town to its pre-war prosperity and thrift. It was the men of the 36th, wbo on Oct. 8, 1918, operating with the French, drove the Germans out of St. Etienne. The mayor is simply doing on a small scale what Europe wishes to do on a huge scale—restore and rehabilitate at American expense after we have routed the Germans. However, much as we might be inclined toward philanthropy, the Democratic Administration has piled up a few billions of dollars of debts, unnecessarily incurred, to be sure, but to which the honor of the Nation is pledged, which will give this country plenty to do to maintain our own prosperity; and Republican thrift, as exemplified in the last congress, is the safest assurance of such maintenance. As individuals, however, residents of Texas and Oklahoma will undoubtedly grant the mayor's request. SHOWING THE WRONG SPIRIT. The persons of both races, in and out of Ohio, who imagine that by pushing forward in this campaign men who opposed the Harding candidacy, prior to the Presidential primary in this state and prior to and at the recent Republican National Convention, they will so overshadow the Senator's REAL friends as to cause him to forget them, are not fooling any one except themselves. They certainly do not know the man and his real friends as we know him and them. We have had some "exhibitions," in and out of Ohio, in recent weeks that move us to write the foregoing. These "exhibitions" have not been confined to Afro-Americans only, either. An instance, in the case of the latter: The real friends among our people of Ohio of the Senator and U. S. Senatorial Candidate Willis, when they needed friends most (prior to the Presidential primary and recent primary in this state, respectively), were conspicuous by their absence at Columbus, last week Wednesday, when the "Ohio Progressive Association" was organized. Why? Brethren, you are pursuing the wrong and a foolish course and are not, as we have said, fooling any one but yourselves. What you are attempting is thorouly understood, too, by ALL and will in the end harm no one but yourselves and Harry L. Davis, Republican candidate for governor, and that is what no good Republican, this year, should desire. Stop it! (Phil H. Brown) (Phil H. Brown.)

Prime Sport News Another large and enthusiastic crowd saw the Naco Giants win a hard fought contest from the Tate Stars, Sunday, 2 to 1. The Tates went to the front in the third on Henderson's smashing double to center, a walk and a hit, while the Nacos came up in the sixth. Time after time the Tates threatened with men on second and third but they could not produce the needed hit. The Nacos won out in the ninth on R. Moore's torrid smack to right, a walk and Leonard's double to center. Slaughter's fielding featured. Jack Johnson in Prison Jack Johnson in Prison. LEAVENWORTH, Kansas.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, brought here Sunday to serve a sentence of a year and a day for violation of the Mann act has been made orderly of the (federal) prison baseball park. His duties are to keep the athletic grounds in good condition. Later on according to the warden, he will be made director of athletics. "Pretty soft," for Jack, after all. Johnson Boxes at Prison LEAVENWORTH, Kas—Jack John son made his first appearance in the ring at the federal prison here, Tuesday, when he boxed three bouts of three rounds each with three other inmates. Johnson appeared to be in good condition. The bouts were staged for the benefit of D. S. Dickerson, superintendent of federal prisons, who has known Johnson for several years. A Catcher Devoe Timely Notes. The Dayton Marcos and St. Louis Giants played three games, last week, at Dayton, the Marcos winning the first, on Wednesday, 9 to 2. Sunday the Cuban and St. Louis Giants begin a five game series at St. Louis. By winning, Sunday, in that eventful ninth inning rally the Nacos proved that they have a "never give up" spirit. "Rube" Henderson pitched a great game and truly deserved a victory. The Nacos had claimed an easy victory off the "Rube" but he fooled 'em, and several timely hits by his mates would have put the game on ice for him. The Nacos, we hear are planning to close their season with the Telling Orange Blossoms as opponents. We opine that "Bobo" Leonard, with a little more control, could give them a stiff argument. Devee's exhibition behind the plate quieted some of the noisy knockers. He caught a swell game and turned back all Nacos who tried theft.

Joseph C. Manning. My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper.

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: Sec. 1294. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or nationality, to the acts of the accomodations, 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.

FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. 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 the summer resort in Florida. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." 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, break the open barricade to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. "THINK AS A MAN" Class is as fatal in intelligence as anywhere else.
