Don't Put just Anything on Your Hair.
CLIMAX gives the results you want without injury.
Many people use hair preparations which do not give results, and are injurious to the hair and scalp. A little caution now will save you much worry later.
Climax, the king of instant hair straighteners for men, cannot injure your hair, and in five minutes your hair is changed from the harsh, kinky kind to that soft, silky, glossy kind that everybody admires. State chemists have stamped their O. K. upon Climax as harmless.
Climax should always be used with X-Ray Hair Shine. The latter is a finishing dressing which restores the natural color of the hair and puts on the finishing gloss. The two sent postpaid to nay address in the U. S. upon receipt of $1.35. Attractive quotations to barbers and agents.

CORNERED DEMOCRAT LIKE SKUNK!
That Sort of Animal is Apparently in Control of the Ohio Democratic Campaign as Well as the Democratic National Campaign—Some of His Rot!
Special to The Gazette.
CHICAGO, Ill. Oct. 20.--The for-
bearing public is holding its nose and
reaching for its gas mask, because the
Democratic burrowing carnivore, con-
Senator Warren G. Harding
forming to the predisposition of its counterpart in natural history, is driven to desperation and is beginning to emit noxious colors. One of the unfailing signs of Democratic desperation is when the cry goes up of "Negro domination." The whipped German cried "kamervad," but the cornered Democrat and the skunk, alike in many things, perfume the air with noxious gasses and filth from neither sources. Witness the effort that is being made by the authorities in the Democratic party and prated by Can-
CALVIN COOLIDGE
didate Cox himself in reference to the miserable bugbear of "social equality and Negro domination." Observe the effort to pillory white men, who have been even just to the Negro. Watch the wanton propaganda to array the workingmen of the races against each other—all over the signature of the Democratic State Executive Committee of Ohio. The deft and glib manner in which that committee refers to our prominent women as "negresses" is not only an insult to Afro-American citizenship, but a slap in the face of all American citizenship. No underhand effort of the 'Reds' could be more directly contrary to the spirit of American institutions. Berkman and Goldman were deported for crimes such as the Ohio Democratic Committee is committing in sheer desperation of a desire to prolong their rule of ruin, extravagance and racial injustice.
But It Is All Right.
One of the best evidences of the prevailing fact that the Democrats are whipped is the publication of the miserable circular by the Ohio Executive
Committee of that party trying to sit up racial hatred. There never was a time when the Democrats were whipped that they did not resort to the cry of "Negro domination." And as a simple suggestion of Democratic consistency, while the Cox Committee in Ohio is screening against "Negro domination" and low-grading Negro womanhood, their candidate for Senator in the neighboring state of In-
FRANK B. WILLIS.
diann is falling on his knees begging for Negro votes on the ground that he used to "sling hash" with them. But it is all right: the signs are right. The Democrats are running true to form. Their cry is the squeal of the coward, driven to the corner. Withal.

HARRY L. DAVIS,
the disgraceful reference over its signature against the race will solidify our people and nauseate the justice-loving white people.
Col. Phil. H. Brown
Bubble of "Negro Domination."
An appeal for simple justice cannot be construed as a desire to dominate. The Afro-American has never felt any such desire. He holds out for an equal opportunity, such as the constitution has granted him and the Democrats have denied him. He asks only that the modus vivendi accorded to all American citizens be given to him. But this is a part only of the very harmful insult that the Democratic Executive Committee of Ohio offers to the intelligence of the entire American electorate:
Southern Democratic Rot!
"Ohicans should remember that the time has come when we must handle this problem in somewhat the same way as the South is handling it, and in such a way bring greater contentment to both whites and Negroes. We should remember what history tells us of the dark days when Negroes controlled the government in the South, the enormous expenditures and debts incurred, the indignities heaped upon white women and children, the vicious attempt of the South (rolina Negro legislature to give every Negro forty acres of land and a mule
"Men and women of Ohio! Rally to the ballot box and give such verdict as will forever rid Ohio of this menace to yourselves and your children."
This pronunciamento, a southern Democratic wall, brought to Ohio, will be repudiated by every well-meaning citizen in the United States, it matters not whether he is white or black, woman or man, Jew or Gentile.

JUDGE THOMAS M. KENNEDY.
Who is a candidate for re-election to the six-year term. Common Pleas Court, has had a career that has been interesting. Much has been heard of late of self-trained men who have won succession life and Judge Kennedy is a fine example of this type of man. Born of poor parents, he secured some education by hard work and while pursuing the trade of blacksmith decided to make the law his profession. By unmiting effort he has made his way upward in the legal profession. Mr. Kennedy was for several terms prosecuting attorney of the county and judge of the police court. He is now serving his 18th year on the Common Pleas bench and is universally known as a fair and fearless judge. To our people, Judge Kennedy is most favorably known for his fair dealing and justice and for the additional fact that for a number of years he has been an active member of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Don't fail to vote for him—Adv.

WHERE, O, WHERE?
The low level, to which the conduct of the Democratic campaign, state and national, has degenerated here in Ohio, in the last week or ten days, shows not only to what desperation that party has been driven by a full realization of the true state of affairs political, state and national, but also makes clear to all the fact that southern Democrats of the most vicious and contemptible kind are dominating the conduct of affairs along publicity and all other lines. Thus early do our people of Ohio have a good idea of what would be the condition, as far as we are concerned, were Gov. Jas. M. Cox to be elected President. Southern Democracy would dominate after March 4 next just as it has for more than seven years; only it is showing now that it would be even worse after March 4, 1921—if that be possible! Where is that Colored voter in all Ohio who has the "gall" now to say that he or she will vote for "Jim" Cox and southern Democracy, in the face of his statement made here in Cleveland, last Saturday, and the vicious campaign literature directed against the race the Ohio Democratic Executive Committee has been issuing all last week and this week? Echo answers, where?
Cleveland, O., Oct. 18, '20.
Miss Mabel C. White.
1217 Mt. Vernon Ave.,
Columbus, Ohio.
Dear Miss White:—Strange but true—you and I have been affected the same, about the same time, in the same way and by practically the same thing in the matter of the candidacy of Ex-Mayor Harry L. Davs for governor of Ohio. On my desk, placed there yesterday (Sunday), is this (copied from Gov. James M. Cox's speech here. Saturday evening):
"This is a white man's country; not a yellow man's country."
a yellow man's country.
It appeared in Sunday (yesterday) morning's Cleveland Leader on page 1 and in a bordered article most prominently placed. You and I are yellow in color, according to American Standards, and there are many like us—American citizens, male and female. I know he (Cox) had reference particularly to the Japanese, but there are many yellow Americans, too, and—prejudice is PREJUDICE; If Cox feels that way toward the (yellow) Japanese, he certainly feels the same way toward us—yellow Americans. He says so! And it is fair to presume that he feels the same way toward black Americans and all the intermediate grades of Colored Americans between white and black; for our race has them all, including the socalled "white", and black. So you see the infamous prejudice and race-bating-breeding "southern Democratic" campaign sheet, to which you call my attention, that the Ohio Democratic Executive Committee in its desperation is circulating through the state against the candidacy for governor of Ex-Mayor Harry L. Davis of this city, one of which you send me, "settles the matter" for you just as Gov. Cox's prejudiced statement anent yellow men, recorded in the foregoing, "settled the matter" for me, yesterday, as soon as read it. As is well known, here in Cleveland and wherever "The Old Reliable" Gazette is read, and that is thrust this country and in portions of at least five foreign countries—Canada, Hawaii, the Philippines, British West Indies and France—the editor of this paper, for local reasons, opposed the election of Harry L. Davis as mayor each of the four times he was a candidate for that office. But now!—since both the Democratic candidate for the Presidency and the Ohio Democratic Executive Committee have stooped so low as to appeal to racial prejudice for support of their national, state and
local tickets, thus promoting race-hatred that strikes at the very vitals of the efforts to progress being put forth by our people with the assistance of their good friends of other races, there is nothing left for any loyal member of the race to do but to work "like a beaver" for the triumphant election of Harding, Willis and Davis, if for no other reason than to show in the strongest possible manner their condemnation of such despicable methods of conducting even a political campaign. Yes, "that settles it" for you and for me and for many, very many others who have heretofore been lukewarm in their support of the Davis candidacy only, because of reasons they felt were "good and sufficient." But those reasons are gone now! sweep away a contemptible smallness—these latest race-prejudice exhibitions of Gov. Cox and the Ohio Democratic Executive Committee—that is as unAmerican as it is characteristic of the race-hating southern Democracy with which Gov. James M. Cox and the Ohio Democrats supporting him are allied in an effort to win the Presidency for the "solid South" and, in accordance with the desire of President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, place this country under a (foreign) super-government dominated by England, France and Italy. Yes, you and I, and other Ohio-ans, enough to triumphantly elect him, are now as enthusiastically for Harry L. Davis for governor as we have all along been for Ex-Gov. Frank B. Willis for U. S. Senator and Senator Warren G. Harding for President, both of whom will also be triumphantly elected on Nov. 2, '20.
DON'T WORRY.
Senator Harding's attitude on the league issue convinces the N. Y. Journal of Commerce that "this points to an internecine struggle among Republicans as soon as their party is safely ensconced in office." Evidently the Journal admits that the Republicans are going to win the election, which is something for a Democratic paper to concede. But the Journal may possess its soul in peace with respect to a fight among Republicans on the league question after the Administration changes. The election of Harding, predicted by the Journal, means the complete and nation-wide repudiation of the covenant espoused by Mr. Wilson. That fact the President himself has admitted. It will be so accepted by even such proponents of some sort of league covenant as Mr. Taft. Of course, Republicans are not going to split into factions over a dead issue. About the first thing they will do will be to get together to set the house of Uncle Sam in order. By the time that is accomplished the league of nations, now perishing of immanion in Europe, will have proved its utter incapacity to handle the problems of that continent, and will have been relegated to the discard in all probability. If some sort of substitute is deemed necessary to succeed it, with a view to holding up a resort to arms until arbitration has been tried out, the Republican Administration may be depended upon to co-operate with other nations in providing it, and the substitute will not be something which imperils the sovereignty of this nation and subverts its constitution. There will be plenty of debate with respect to the form the substitute should take, but there will be no dissension among Republicans as to the principles involved, and there will be few, if any, Republican opponents of the instrument finally adopted. Had it not been for strife within the party in the first instance, Mr. Wilson would not have been President, and we would never have had presented to his surrender to Europe. The Republicans have had their lesson in that particular, and they know that nothing will be entrusted to the constructive abilities of a party which is at war with itself. That lesson has not been lost on the Republican party however much its members may differ as to the means desirable to achieve a specific end.
We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount.
A PRIVILEGE
It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right—
Not a sacrifice, even though you go down.
They count not the cost, who fight the good fight,
And unflinchingly face the sneezer or the frown.

Once Clevelanders bought water on a flat rate and used it so wastefully that in self defense the city put in meters to reduce consumption, fixing a rate of 40 cents a thousand cubic feet, payable in advance.
Recently, because of absolute necessity, the rate was advanced to 60 cents, a 50 per cent increase. This wasn't done to prolong the supply or to improve service. No conservation effort was behind it.

The city has an inexhaustible lake from which to pump its water supply.
Contrast the case of natural gas, produced at great cost 230 miles from Cleveland and for which The East Ohio Gas Company collected only 30 cents a thousand for sixteen years and now gets but 35 cents. This supply is constantly decreasing perilled by waste and isn't being daily. Once it goes, it goes forever ever replaces it will be at far greater less efficiency.

NOTICE AND WARNING!
Chairman Clark Invites the Demo erats Into the Open With Their Malicious Propoganda.
Opposition to increasing natural gas rates, to force saving in gas consumption and thus prolong the life of the available supply, cannot be based on reasons of either consistency or justice for gas company or gas consumer.
We are face to face with the last three weeks of this campaign. This is a Republican year. Every indication over the nation is that Senator Harding will win by one of the largest majorities ever given a candidate for president. In the State of Ohio there is a similar indication that the national and state tickets will be elected by an overwhelming majority. Knowledge of these facts has grown to unmistakable proportions. In the Democratic headquarters the facts have brought bitterness and a sense of desperation. The result is, the foulest campaign in Ohio's history. It is to be a campaign of underhand tactics, destestable propaganda and malicious. Paid emissaries are now employed to go from house to house and mobilize the public relative to the Republican candidates. Every pockets are drawn statements which dare not be printed in the open. That they have not the slightest foundation of fact makes no difference to the Democratic management. And this is only the beginning. This statement is made in order that the citizens of Ohio may be fully aware of the tacies that are to be employed in the desperate endeavor in the closing days of the campaign to swing the tide which immediately become overwhelming for the Republican candidate. Intelligent men and voters, we are sure, will not be influenced by charges to which those responsible for the Democratic campaign will not attach their names and accept full liability. The Republican party does not appeal to race, nor religious, nor group prejudice. It does not ask for support by gutter tacies. It does appeal to the stalwart Americanism of every citizen, man and woman. It believes that an aroused citizenship will rebuke on Nov. 2 the slanderous campaign into which we are now plunged by the Democratic State Committee.

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 "ynching" 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 corde 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 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery has been, 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 if the legal representative of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.)
Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse 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
Don't Throw It to a Frien
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

last another county.
text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, 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 accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both.
Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING
While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers richest a burden should never advertise. His market may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "gel awake."
**PROTEST AGAINST WRONG.**
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, injustice and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, an guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY

Rheumatism
A Remarkable Home Treatment
Given by One Who Had It
In the Spring of 1858 I was attacked by Musselman,
only those who have it know, for over three years.
I tried remedy after remedy, and doctor
told me that it was only temporary.
Finally, I found a remedy that
cured me, and it has never returned.
I gave it to my daughter, and afflicted
and even bedridden with rheumatism,
sons of them 70 to 80 years old, and results were
little. I want every sufferer from any form of rheumatism.
Don't send it in court; send my name
and address and I will send it free to try.
After you have used it and it has proven itself to
be effective, I will not want your rheumatism,
you may send the price of it,
one dollar, but understand, I do not want your
rheumatism, you may send the price of it,
it is not that fair? Why suffer any longer when
you afforded me offfree you felt? Don't delay,

HER FITS STOPPED
Mrs. Dellia Martin, a resident of Wurtzburg, N.Y. writes that she stopped her fits with a free bottle of medicine which she read about in the paper. She says she has not had a fit since she took the first dose and that she wants every sufferer to know about this wonderful medicine and what it did for her. If you, a friend or relative suffer from these dreadful attacks, you are advised to send name and address at once to R.P.N. Leos, 191 Island Ave, Milwaukee, Wis., who is general manager of the medicine. If medicine he gave Mrs. Martin, free to any sufferer who writes him.
