Accept my congratulations for your good work for Hardin, Willis and Davis. That Negro propaganda about Harding looked very bad, but it proved a boomerang to the enemy. Truly, as Harding said, it was a victory of the people. There were many reasons for the result, but a few were: the No League vote, the German-American vote, the Dry vote and the Negro vote. The North would not have known there had been an election in Florida unless that old game of killing six or more Negroes for wanting to vote had been pulled off. When will "Unele Sam" allow the poor southern Negro "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Hoping you good health and success, I am Yours truly, WELDY W. WALKER. "A Source of Inspiration." New York City, Nov. 10, 1920. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette Dear Friend: I wish at this time to extend to you my heartiest congratulations for the great service you have rendered the Nerro race and the citizens of the United States for assisting to put the country in the hands of Republican stewardship for the next four years. Your paper was a source of inspiration to me, during my speaking tour in the state of West Virginia for the Republican National Committee. Long live The Gazette with you as its pilot. Believe me; Yours truly, J R R Whitney. Leading White Men of the Community Join With Our People in Their Protest A The night after election, when practically all the precincts in the county were in the evening papers gave Harry E. Davis and Samuel B. Woods total votes in excess of 95,000 and yet the next morning's paper reported them defeated. If memory serves correctly Woods was either leading or was very close to Davis. "Hereby hangs a tale." Tuesday evening, "the official count" announced the election of Davis with a plurality of 784. As Woods was either 500 ahead or behind him the evening of Nov. 3, we are wondering where he REALLY is now and if he, too, ought not to be announced a winner by "the official count." That meeting, Sunday afternoon, at Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church, under the auspices of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, to protest against the inexcusable defeat of all of our candidates, undoubtedly had its effect, and the VERY good news from "the official count." This, particularly, because a mayor of Cleveland is to be elected, next fall. The well known author, Attorney Charles W. Chessmith presided and the pastor of L church, Dr. L. H. brown, opened the meeting with a short prayer. The speakers were: Dr. Dan H. Bradley, Judge Henry, Rev. H. C. Bailey, Judge Addams, Judge Levine, Atty. John D. Fackler, Hon. John P. Green and the editor of The Gazette who thoroly aroused the large audience with one of his characteristically telling speeches that apparently met with the unanimous approval of all who heard him judging from the very generous applause, and the many personal greetings that followed at the close of the meeting. Every one of the other gentlemen made fine talks and speeches, especially Judges Levine and Adams and Rev. Bailey, Atty. Wm. R. Green read the resolutions and the address to the public. Mr. Chessmatt made an excellent presiding officer, being materially assisted, at one stage of the proceedings, by the thoughtfulness of Geo. W. Johnson. Between $75 and $100 were collected to provide for the publication in the daily papers of the address to the public. The Resolutions WHEREAS, During the recent political campaign, scurrilous and defamatory pamphlets, intended to stir up race prejudice and to excite public opinion against the colored people, and thereby to defeat the Republican State and National tickets and especially the colored candidates for the legislature, were printed and circulated throughout the State of Ohio; and WHEREAS, These pamphlets, while falling of their principal purpose, the defeat of the State and National tickets, were successful, by their base appeal to race prejudice, in defeating Messrs. William R Green and Samuel E. Wood, for election to the State Legislature; and WHEREAS, The statements contained in said pamphlets, when not lies, as many of them were, were so maliciously and brazenly distorted as to convey a false impression of the aims and hopes of the colored citizens in the recent election; and WHEREAS, The pictures of Messrs. Green, Harry E. Davis and Woods printed on the face of one of said circulars were procured by fraud and indirection and were reproduced in such a manner as to constitute gross labels both in their intention and their effect; and WHEREAS, A certain renegade Negro lent his name and his likeness to the preparation of said circular, for the purpose of slandering and injuring his race; and has since had the brazen鹰恋 to file a report with the Board of Elections, stating that he had spent some seventy odd dollars for the benefit of William R. Green, Harry E. Davis and Samuel E. Woods, when in fact many thousands of the pamphlets signed by him were circulated, by mail, the postage alone on which would be many times said amount; and WHEREAS, Said circulars imposed upon the ignorance or credulity of many voters and by their vicious appeal to race prejudice and race hatred directly resulted in the defeat of two of the three candidates above referred to: Now Therefore, Be It Resolved: That we hereby voice our sorrow and indignation that such campaign methods should have been employed in the State of Ohio against citizens who have always been loyal to the nation and to the public interest; that while we should not have been surprised at the employment of such methods in the South, where they are traditional and to be looked for, we SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS did not expect them in our own State where we have always received until now fair political treatment, and where we felt that our rights were secure; and that we regret that any party or any group of sheming politicians should have sank so low as to resort to such desperate measures to bolster up a hopeless cause; that while we regret that the Republican electorate of Cuyahoga County should have so far failed in justice and generosity as to have defeated Messrs. Green and Woods while electing all the other members of the Republican County ticket, yet at the same time we rejoice that the anterior motives controlling the preparation and circulation of the circulars referred to, namely, the defeat of the state and National Republican tickets, were defeated; that we thank the many thousand white voters who supported the full ticket and were not misled by the false and insidious statements that were circulated; and that we hope and believe that many of those that were so misled will, upon fuller information and reflection, regret their action. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED. That we visit the weight of our displeasure and contempt, upon Walter L. Brown, the putative author of the circular directed, particularly against Messrs. Green, Davis and Woods, by branding him as a traitor to his race and to all the principles of decency and honor, and that we recommend to all good people that they ostracize him socially and personally, to the end that he and any others who may be tempted by offers of money or other reward, to engage in any such unworthy and despicable conduct, may know that they do so at the risk of social reprobation and punishment; and that a copy of this resolution be sent to every colored church society, club and lodge, with the request that it be read in open meeting and that a copy be sent to The Gazette. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED. That while fully recognizing that it cannot affect the outcome of the recent election, yet as a matter of self-respect and in furtherance of truth and justice, we issue a statement to the public setting forth the attitude of the colored voters in regard to this matter in the following language: To the Public! The circulars distributed in the late political campaign with the view of inciting race hatred and prejudice to the end of defeating thereby the National and State Republican tickets, failed of their real purpose but were successful in securing the defeat of two of the three colored candidates on the Republican county ticket, by misleading the white voters as to the personality and character of the candidates and the nims and objects of the colored people in their exercise of the franchise and the election to the legislature of men of their race and their friends. The circular hearing the alleged likenesses of Messrs. William R. Green, Harry E. Davis and Samuel E. Woods, purporting to have been written by a colored man who is so shameless as to sign his name thereto, was obviously concocted so as to convey the false impression that it was issued in the interest or upon the authority of the three candidates named, whereas in fact its purpose was to alienate from them the friendship and support of white people, especially of white women. The suggestion that the colored people want to or could "dominate" the city of Cleveland or the state of Ohio is absurd on the face of it, since they constitute, even with the so called "southern infux," but a very small fraction of the state's population. The Beatty Bill to which reference is made, was not a campaign issue nor was it sponsored or advocated by either of the three candidates above named. It confers no larger rights than are already secured to all citizens by the civil rights law which has been on the statute books of Ohio for many years and has been uniformly upheld by the courts and the majority opinion. For the colored people or any other class to be satisfied with anything less than their lawful rights, would be to stultify themselves and make them unworthy the respect of decent people. The appeal to race prejudice is dangerous to society and can be applied to the injury of any racial group or element of the population, and in the interest of democracy and good government, it should be sternly discouraged. If politicians learn that such methods are likely to be successful in securing votes, the merits of candidates or issues will be ignored, elections will be debased, and IN UNION WE IS STRENGTH Representative-elect H. E. Davis. no group in the community will be safe from attacks. We thank the many thousand white people who voted for Messrs. Green, Davis and Woods, including at least some Democrats who did so to repudiate the methods employed to defeat them. We regret that enough of the Republican electorate of Cuyahoga County should have so far failed of justice and generosity as to defeat Messis. Green and Woods, while electing all the other members of the Republican County ticket. We regret that many of the white women voters of the city and county permitted themselves to be induced by slander and falsehood to do a cruel and unjust thing in this their first exercise of the full elective franchise. We fully recognize that no action we may take can effect the outcome of the late election, and we issue this statement merely as a matter of self-respect and in furtherance of truth and justice. "Truth crushed to earth, shall rise again; The end of our country." eternal years of God are hers!" WELCOME T. BLUE, J. WALTER WILLS. HARRY C. SMITH, Committee on Resolutions. CHAIRMAN WILL H. HAYS. New York City, Nov. 11, '20. Lion. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—I do not know whether they have stopped counting the votes yet or not, or whether the unprecedented majorities are still mounting higher, but I want to send this further word of personal appreciation to those who had so large a share in the achievement. The splendid victory was a victory, in large part, for the loyal, patriotic Republican press of the country. The militant manner in which the Republican press from the metropolitan 'dailes to the country weeklies, co-operated editorially and in a news way with the Republican organization for months has been effective beyond description. The victory is worthy of our candidates and our cause. The responsibilities that it brings will be met with a sympathetic and intelligent understanding and discharged with a faithful execution that will keep America in her high and proper place in the world of today and tomorrow, and once more bring into action those forces at home which make for the real welfare of the people and the glory of the nation. In all of this you will have a large part and I know you will strive to uphold in every worthy way the hands, of that fine American, Warren G. Harding, a member of your craft. Again assuring you of the party's appreciation and my own personal sincerest gratitude for your continued generous consideration of me in all these matters. I am, with best wishes always. Sincerely yours, Will H. Hays, Chair. Repub. Natl. Committee. Chairman Clark and Director Jones. Columbus, O., Nov. 10, '20. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith—Tuesday's great victory for Republicanism stands unparalleled. It was a great day in the history of the Republic. No men in Ohio are more entitled to credit for the result than the loyal Republican newspaper men who helped in every way possible, wish to express our sincere appreciation of the co-operation you gave us in every way. It is especially to be remembered that loyalty among the newspaper craft of Ohio came at all times, helping tremendously to win this great victory. This letter is but a small token of the appreciation which we feel. Sincerely yours, Geo. H. Clark, Chair Ohio Repub. Ex. Committee. C. J. Jones, Director of Publicity.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1920. First, high officers of the U. S. Marine service and indeed the Navy Department admitted that 2250 Haitians had been killed during this Government's dominance of that country. Later, it was announced that an error had been found and that there were "only" 2250 Haitien victims of southern U. S. Democratic methods transplanted in that country. DEADER THAN SANTA ANNA'S LEG. "The Democratic party," says Mr. McAdoo, "has suffered a severe but not disastrous defeat. It is far from dead; it is not even seriously wounded." The party may still show traces of animation, and with careful nursing and the application of drastic purgatives and restorives it may again become a factor in American politics. But the sort of Democracy represented by Mr. McAdoo and his repudiated father-in-law is dead beyond the powers of resuscitation. Wilsonism will never again be able to fasten itself upon any body of our citizens numerous enough to affect the elections. Those enthusiasts who want the government to undertake the building of houses to solve the housing problem should examine the records of the construction and operation of apartments put up by the government in Washington during the war. As the country begins to get back to normalcy, the readjustment of employment and the drift of population will go far toward solving the present difficulty growing out of congestion in the cities. In any event, it is certain that government construction of houses would be attended by much needless expense and many mistakes in locating and planning houses. It is time to leave the solution of some of these problems to private enterprise, under the guidance of the law of supply and demand. TIME WILL JUSTIFY ESCHCUMMINS LAW During the recent campaign there was much appeal to old prejudice in discussion of the Esch-Cummins railroad bill. In rural districts in particular there was an effort to turn farmers against supporters of the measure because it authorized an increase in railroad rates which would not be in proportion to the increase in prices of all other kinds of commodities and service. Undoubtedly many people were misled by the propaganda. On sober second thought, however, people who are accustomed to dealing with practical problems in a practical way will see the soundness of the railroad bill as a means of meeting the emergency which existed. Though it was not a perfect measure, and was not claimed to be perfect, yet it was the best available means of getting the railroads back on an efficiency bases under private operation. Under Government control the taxpayers were paying deficits. Under the provisions of the Esch-Cummins Act the former deficits will be covered by the increased freight and passenger rates. It is not only common knowledge but is proven by the records that for many years, under government regulation, the income of a large proportion of the railroad mileage of the country was not sufficient to pay operating expenses and keep up the equipment. Dividends were so small or so frequently passed that railroad stocks were greatly depreciated in value. The roads—many of them, at least—were being literally starved under the rates fixed by the Government agency. You cannot run an automobile without gasoline; you cannot work a horse without sufficient food; you cannot run a locomotive without fuel. Neither can a railroad nor any other industry be permanently conducted unless it receives not only the cost of doing business but a reasonable profit on capital invested. This is a fundamental of economics and furnished the basis for the railroad legislation which politicians used for unfair partisan purposes during the campaign. Time will fully justify the action of Congress in enacting the law. WHO DUG THEIR GRAVES? Who dug their graves? The voice that might Have raised itself to cry "Beware!" The heart that was "too proud to fight" And yet too timid to prepare. The casual brain that sent them forth, Those boys, our bravest and our best— The "courteous" South, the hardy North. The earnest East, the warrior West To camps that made their makers rich And slew as never iron storms; To muddy field and icy ditch In deadly contract-uniforms. Who dug their graves? The eyes that slept Tood soundly to permit a tear; The vacillating lips that kept Our ordinance all assembled—here! Who left the aircraft, on the ground At home, the sycophants and slaves, Grafters who cried when Power frowned— But took the cash—these dug their graves! The Cause is greater than its price As night is lesser than the day; But for the needless sacrifice, Great God in Heaven, they must pay! Reginald Wright Kauffman in Harvey's Weekly. Dr. T. W. Burton Speaks. Springfield, O., November 8, 1920. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette. Cleveland. Dear Friend:—Your communication was received, this morning. I was defeated by a small majority but did beat Cox because I carried the city Colored men and women stood up for me as a unit but the white Republicans (?) taught their women to scratch my name from the ticket and did so themselves, saying to them that if the sheriff dies that a Negro will be sheriff and if there was a lynching that a Negro would have the power to arrest the sheriffette. Publicans got everything else on the ticket because of the "landslide." But there is another election coming, next year, and all Negroes in this vicinity will not be dead. Yours truly, THOS. W. BURTON, M. D. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith: Yes, precisely as the Gazette says critically, you have just cause for pride in standing for Senator Hardin for nomination as well as for election, and I have a pride in being your friend because you are not one of those "tim crow" and "juice-for-self" Colored men. I congratulate you, as I congratulate all Ohio, in giving the nation a leader of the Lincoln type of real Republican manhood: W. G. HARDING! Sincerely yours, Joseph C. Manning. Personal Mention. Chicago, Ill.-Mrs. Josephine Smith, wife of Prof. Henderson Smith, 3232 Calumet Ave., was called to Prairie Du Chein, Wis., last Friday, by the illness of a sister, Mrs. Saraphine West, who died soon after Mrs. Smith's arrival. She is expected to return home today and has the earnest sympathy of a host of friends. Senator-Elect Frank B. Willis. Delaware, O., Nov. 10, '20. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith.-I wish to express, not only for myself personally, but for the entire Republican ticket, sincere appreciation of the support given by the loyal Republican press of Ohio during the campaign just closed. The result of one of the very quirky and no small part of the credit for the victory won belongs to the Republican newspaper men of the state. It shall be my constant effort to merit the good will and confidence which this support implies. Higgins Defeated! Cincinnati, O.—Henry M. Higgins, your candidate for the Legislature, received 82.759 votes and was defeated by a plurality of 6.687, the only Republican candidate to lose as was tense with our two legislative candidate in Columbus, two of the three in Cleveland and Dr. T. W. Burton, candidate for coroner in Springfield—Hon. Gee W. Hays, who was thrice defeated for Legislature, going down with the entire Republican tickets, and elected twice, years ago, celebrated his 73d birthday, Nov. 1, receiving many presents, telegrams, cards and much social attention. Mr. Hays is very popular—deservedly so. 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 sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning.

Show Our Business Progress at the Nation's Capital—A New Group of Race Leaders. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The incorporation, last week, of the Prudential Bank, a commercial and savings institution with a capitalization of $150,000 with incorporation of the Standard Investment Company for $150,000 gave the members of our group in the District of Columbia a total of 19 recently organized corporations with an aggregate capitalization of $2,880,000. Included in this list is a hotel and apartment house proposition, two banks, a broom factory, two building and loan associations, a farming and merchandise company, a housing corporation, a life insurance company, a theatre corporation, a commercial company owning valuable property, an investment and development company that recently purchased eight stores for $120,000 in the busiest part of the up-town section, a surburban pleasure park association, a motion picture corporation, several realty corporations whose recent purchases of large and centrally located apartment houses have greatly relieved the housing situation among our group, and several co-operative organizations that are conservatively investing the money received from the sale of stock to members of the race The great change among our people in the city of Washington will startle the politicians and office holders who will come into their own with the new administration, and unless they come here with something on their minds more important than the story of David's sojourn in the land of the Philistines, a scientific knowledge of how to win applause, or high-brow information on such subjects as the increase and diffusion of knowledge in regard to the nature and properties of atmospheric air in connection with the welfare of man, etc., their presence will be unnoticed in this community, unless, of course, their bank rolls permit them to become identified with some of the numerous business concerns. That day has passed when a Register of the city of Washington can impress the busy Washingtonian with importance, and it is hoped that the new administration will bring with it a few colored men of affairs, rather than a colorful bunch of pompous phrase-makers. The business element would like to see one of our race appointed to a position in the U. S. Treasury, whether as Register or something else, that would fit him for the management of a big trust company or a surety bonding company upon his retirement from office. They want to see appointed a livewire man who will make a connection, while in office, with the big financiers of the country, and bring to the race the results of his contact, study and experience. The producers are tired of seeing big jobs that could, and should, be turned into assets for the entire race, thrown away on little men who do not realize the value of their opportunities and whose chief contribution to the race is TALK! Congressman Emerson Regrets. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend Smith: I regret the defeat of my friends Messrs. Green and Woods, and in particular the kind of a campaign that was put up against them. I have always stood for the colored race receiving justice at the hands of all people, but unfortunately not all the people in Cleveland agree with my position. I hope something may be done in the future to right the wrong done Messrs. Green and Woods, in Cleveland. With kindest regards, I am, Yours sincerely, H. I. Emerson Nov. 9, 20. 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.

REV. LEO S. OSMAN, 909 N. Fremont Ave., Baltimore, Md. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with what 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. "Now I Can Go to the Dance!" "I did not feel like going anywhere when my complexion was so awfully bad. It almost disfigured me, and I was ashamed. But now, I have the bright, clear, smooth complexion that every woman ought to have and can have if she will only use the wonderful Palmer's "SKIN-SUCCESS" Ointment. It acts like magic."

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.

Rumor has it that "Starlight" Boyd and Tom Fleming are "backing" Ormond Forte since Ralph W. Tyler left, some weeks ago. We do not credit it because of the "scurvy politician" reference to Fleming in Forte's paper, some months ago, and complaints of mistreatment at his hands "Star" has made repeatedly. How about it "Star" and Tom? There are many ugly rumors relative to the disposition of the estate left by Mr. Fred. Valentine, one of our oldest residents. A son and two daughters survive him. He died a few weeks ago and owned much valuable property in Central Ave, and E. 22nd St. Considerable cash (including a trunk full of pennies) is said to have been in hand at the time of his death. William Washington, "the legless wonder, one man's band," is in the city. He lost both legs in the World War Argonne, France, conflict, in September, 1918, and was a patient in base hospital No. 5, Paris, France. He was fighting with the "old 15th New York" regiment when wounded. He contemplates making his headquarters for the winter here. His wife a pianist, accompanies him. We wish to call the attention of our people to the fact that they should give a large share of their patronage to the W. H. Ford Music Co., a race enterprise at 4712 Central Ave., where other sheet music and handy songs and other sheet music piano-playing records are to be obtained. Mamie Smith's songs, one of our great vocalists whose work has been a sensation on the Okeh records, are featured there. One of the oldest colored employees of the May Co. and popular, both with his associates and the management, had an experience the other week with a southern cracker which the latter will long remember. The cracker, who represented a large Cleveland casualty insurance agency, had made several references to our people in the familiar, insulting way of the South when the colored employee took it up and proceeded to give him a sound thrashing. The cracker is now a sadder but more careful man, while the employee as aforesaid is even more popular and respected at the big store. The pastor will preach special sermons, Sunday morning and evening *Thanksgiving* morning; at Lane Metropolitan C. M. church and special music will be rendered. A turkey will be baked. Thursday, from 1 p.m., while in the evening, musicale will be given by Prof. Henderson. Dr. Brown's return, recently, from annual conference at Louisville, Ky, was the cause of the gift to him of a fine $65 overcoat by Mr. John Brown, a steward of the church. Last year the pastor raised $15,000. A church note of $7,833.34 was paid and $1,000 was paid on the parasent. He also added 200 members, making the total about 500. Good work Doctor.

My dear friend Smith—You have every reason to rejoice over the wonderful victory. The humiliating defeat of the Democratic party is a striking and everlasting repudiation of their dirty tactics. That party is a menace to American civilization and a big, great huge black spot upon its history. I know it is a source of great pride to you to have been with our President-elect from the beginning to the grand and glorious end. I regret very much that our two worthy candidates for the Legislature were defeated but the blame and the shame is on the other side. Hope to see you soon and have a chat. There are many things to talk about. Your friend, (Attv.) L H Godman.

The result is that the photographer and helpers are compelled to work day and night, and very often call in extra help, usually experienced, pay additional money for overtime, and although making every effort to produce the very best, we can never do quite so well as when we have plenty of time. 15 PER CENT DISCOUNT ON ALL PHOTOGRAPHS To overcome these problems this year we are going to give a discount of $15\%$ on all photographs, providing sittings are made before November 20th.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times 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 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 up on the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of mob. County's right of action against another county. 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 up on 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 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 its 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 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 6237. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal apprehension of the poison killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob.

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 lynching was committed, contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disurse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter, shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homilies (693 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.

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 accommodations, advantages, facilities or privilege of the ship is fine 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. Do You Know Her? There is something of value at The Gazette office for Mrs. Lydia McKenney, former Mrs. Lydia Willis. This lady has lived at various points in Ohio-Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus and Cincinnati—or has visited them for short or long periods. Mrs. Willis-McKenney had relatives in Indiana and New York, and her kindness of ear whereabouts will favor her greatly by writing the editor of this paper immediately. (Race newspapers, please copy.) THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, any gullotines decide our least deserts. The police must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 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 like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstances is in good condition and is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may be a complete cure without operation, if you write to me Eugene M.

Gas exhaustion will fall heaviest upon her. SHE KNOWS that no other fuel equals natural gas for kitchen use. No other is so clean, so convenient, so efficient and economical. SHE SHOULD REALIZE that, once gone, natural gas will never come back again. That nature never renews a depleted supply. That with its going her kitchen troubles will multiply; her kitchen expenses increase. Saving gas is imperative if she is much longer to enjoy its use. But habits of saving come slowly, where a low price encourages wastefulness. The East Ohio Gas Company seeks first of all to shut off the large consumer by charging a price that will force him to use coal for his furnace and enable the company to give good service ALL THE TIME to the cookstove and water heater at a rate little if any more than 45 cents a thousand feet. The proposed sliding scale will do this and not increase the company's revenues. MASONS, ATTENTION! Are you interested in knowing the inside "Secret Work" of other Secret Societies?
