He "Citizen" Authorities² to Disprove "Tithreathechropos Erectus" Theory Editor Pioneer Press—One of your recent contributors to the "Mail Rue" makes "Pithecanthrops Erectus" the Adam of the human family. But according to such well-known authors as Prof. Augustus H. Keane of the London University in his "Ethnology" and "Man, Past, and present"; Prof. Guiseppi Sergi, Professor of anthropology at the University of Rome, Italy, in his work on "The Mediterranean Races", and our own Prof. William Z. Ripley, in his work on "Races of Europe", Dr. Brinton in his "Races and Peoples", as well as other scholars versed in this department of knowledge, repudiate the hypotheses postulated by the other scientists, and the authors of the book are an offspring of most worthy of the consideration of the scholars learned in the science of anthropology: Prof. The present races of Europe are mere off shots of a primitive race extinct from Africa, and are offspring of an African or Negro man who migrated from Africa into Europe during the glacial and pre-glacial period, "Homo Sapiens", "homo heidelbergensis", "noundertheriensis", "boanthropes" and all other early European troglodytes had an African, therefore Negro origin. Chancellor David Stair Jordan, of Leland Stanford University, virtually says ditto to the conclusion of Ripley, Keane, Sergi and others. And as regards the Aryan race of the high school room, why the science of ethnology can find no trace of its existence. The word "Aryan" means light, learning, culture, education in the arts, science and industries. It is a linguistic and not an ethnological term. "The philosophical writers and the philosophical literature of Anglo-Saxon Celt, Duroc, Teuton and the inhabitants of the United States are mere "subraces" of the great "root race" which was Negro in character and color so that the Negro is the "true ancestor of mur" and man's primitive home was somewhere in Africa Pithecanthropos.—From the St. Paul Pioneer Press "Mail Bug." Miss Hallie Q. Brown and Mrs. Louise Braxton. Hon, Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—A few weeks ago a notice appeared in your paper that a Mrs. Louise Braxton was in Cleveland to solicit funds for her school in Macon, Ga. Letters from State Sup. M. L. Brian state that Mr. Walter B. Hill, special supervisor for Colored schools, has made investigation and says that the school Mrs. Braxton represents has "little or no merit" and is not known in the state; and that your city should see that she "bears letters of recommendation both from educational authorities of Macon and of the state by attributing large sums to her." It only makes impossible for worthy causes to be helped when such persons make appeals for funds to assist institutions on paper. Please ask the lady to show her credentials. I can send Sup. Britain's letter, if you wish and you can return it after using it. Sincerely, Hallie Q. Brown. President, National Association of Colored Women. DECEMBER 11, 1920. THE MURDERIOUS SOUTH. A Mighty Poor Place to Force Its Religious and Moral Ideals On the Nation—The Rest of the Country Don't Need Southern Rev. Catts or Dictation of Democratic Hell-Cats NEW YORK CITY—New comes forward, from the South, an organized movement, with its propaganda, to have Congress enact laws setting Sunday aside as a day of absolute suspension, from all labor or amusement, a measure to put forward which proscribes the bimest sort of "Blue Lakes" regulation. What manner of form, of what character and type, are these southern would be regulators, are these who would enforce their conception of religious standards on the people of this nation? Florida has a minister, a Rev. Catt, holding the office of governor, Rev. Catt, of course, is a reformer and prohibitionist and regulator of the morals and religion of mankind, in the southern fashion, while, in Florida the Democratic cat red-necks and ruffians and hell-cats, big and little, have only recently been going forth in that state murdering, lynching, burning, pillaging whenever and wherever persons of colored skin could be. set upon as victims of the hate and savagery of these southern reformers. All through the South, day by day, we read of lynching and murder of defenseless and helpless colored Hon. Joseph C. Manning. people. We do NOT hear, however, of any of these Sunday observance regulators, Catt or hell-cat, undertaking to stop the orgy of bloodlust going on everywhere in the South. Perhaps these hypocrites wanna everything else suspended on Sunday that all hands may be free to indulge in man-hunting and lynching and the mobbing of innocent colored people; to indulge in the shooting of colored women and children. From the rioting and lynching South is a nightly poor place for the American people to get any ideals as to religion or anything else. Jos. C. Manning. AN INQUEST ON HAITL There is urgent need of an official investigation into our Government's policy and course in Haiti, and the New York Tribune has rendered a real service to humanity, to international justice and to national honor, by printing its remarkable interview with President Dartiguenave and his temperate but singularly forceful demand that such an inquest shall be held. We are not sure that there has been a more impressive utterance from a Haitian in more than a century—since Toussaint's plea to Napoleon Bonaparte. The most striking feature of the case is that the demand is for investigation not so much into the shooting of thousands of Haitians by American Marines as into the general policy of those tragedies were mere details. The supreme need is to look searchingly into the whole matter of our relations with Haiti, and of the policy on our part which has made these tragedies and other grievous oppressions possible. Haiti is a member of the League of Nations, and is therefore assumed and pronounced to be a free, independent and sovereign nation. By what right does our Government abolish its constitution and prescribe a new one, said to have been written for Haiti by somebody in our Navy Department? By what right does an American agent arbitrarily withhold salaries from Haitian officials as a means of coercing them into obeying American dictation? It is significant that the Haitian President does not demand the immediate withdrawal of the American Marines. On the contrary, he regards their further presence as desirable for the maintenance of order. What he wants is an inquest into the conduct of American civil officials in Haiti. He generously refrains from making serious charges against them, but contents himself with siding that there has been a lack of understanding, and that a Congressional investigation would clear the air. "You are a great people," he says, "we beg you to be kind to small peoples." That is an appeal which it would be monstrous and unthinkable to refuse or to ignore—Harvey's Weekly. Mr. Edward Pryor, E. 43d Street, left last week for Los Angles, Cal., to spend the winter. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS William Howard Taft a Menace-He Is Holding Hampton Institute Down, Says Dr. Byrd As to the guilt or innocence of the colored man in Mississippi charged with attempting to commit the manless crime, we are not giving an opinion but we do assert that whether guilt or innocence he had no chance of defending himself the moment he was accused. The most depraved white woman may maliciously accuse a colored man of this crime and he in fact may be a hundred miles away, nevertheless the colored man has not a ghost of a chance in Mississippi if he is ever caught. It is freely said in many places that the accusing of colored men by white women is an unreliable propaganda, whereby the south can destroy Negroes at will and cause a reign of terror among them. The Mississippi court, that colored man on trial, knew that their mock trial was not, in fact, destructive to the accuracy of the real judges and punishers of Negro offenders (Democratic politicians that lead mobus to the court to try to save the face of Mississippi before the world was simply going through a farce the minds of the judge, jury and prosecuting attorney had already lynched the colored man. The mob was disgusted at the hypocrisy of the proceedings and proceeded at once to brave the helpless sheriff, the invading judge, the prosecuting attorney and roped the man, dragged him through the streets and at the tree riddled his body with bullets. The officers of the law could not help this "eighthightened and refined" disgrace launched upon the state. The courts are launched in the minds of all whenever they have an accused colored man before the prisoner is ever made because the sheriff and constables generally expect the mob to do their work for the Lynching of colored people is the one dependable asset of the Democratic politicians of the south. The two United States Senators from Mississippi, the Congressmen and even the Governor of the state are parties to this lawless state of affairs in Mississippi. The road to any political office in Mississippi is by way of public and violent abuse of the Negroes or Mississippi. These men elected to office are the friends of the mob. They profit by the franchise of these hayless savages. No attempt will be made but these southern American white savages out of business. Woodrow Wilson's administration has been and is too cowardly to reluke it or take steps to stop it. Negroes in Hayt have been tasting it, what of Negroes all of south in states live under daily and too without any redress. If it were not for the fact that Hayt is a foreign power and the Wilson administration is seeking to save foes with other nations nothing Hayt. If Joseph Daniels is to be the judge of the punishment that will be meted out 40 American marine murderers, nothing will be done about it, excepting possibly a white washing. Law and order have broken down in Mississippi and those who live there are subject to the caprice of organizers and sanctioned mob violence. Hampton Institute will not rise from the estimation of colored people if it continues to have men like William Howard Taft speak for it in northern centers. The assertion by Mr. Taft that the Republican party should not appoint colored men to office in the south where southern whites object is in keeping with his dastardly inaugural address in 1909. This address, together with his other similar deeds, caused him the most humiliating defeat ever suffered by a President up to that time. Time has taught him nothing but within him still exists his Negrophobia and race hatred. Such unworthy leaders as William Howard Taft would drive every self-respecting colored man out of the Republican party if all Republicans thought as he did. The essence of his "vicious propaganda" is to rivet, upon his country the practice of holding his country as the "white man's country" and hence colored people have landed in official lines. He is absolutely disgusted with Mr. Taft. He is one of the causes why Bolshevism has entered the hearts of Negroes. He is unworthy of being placed anywhere that brings him in touch with the rights of colored people. He is incapable of being just to them. His advice to Mr. Harding is cowardly and assassine. Mr. Taft either thinks Negroes are fools or else some one that is doing so much free advising is a fool. There are no best white people in the south, when it comes to the rights of colored people. A Negro has as much right to hold office in South Carolina as he has in Massachusetts. Any president shows himself unfit for his office when for pure racial hatred he refrains from appointing colored IN UNION THE COPY FIVE CENTS SIPPI!

If that same doctrine was preached, and upheld in the North, white men would oppose colored men holding jobs. We supported Mr. Harding loyally and we have always supported the Republican Presidential candidates until William Howard, second time came, and then it was into his ansonian speech in a severe lesson of descent. Colored students educated under the influence and teachings of William Howard Taft will go out into life circling and acyclonic cowards. The day that Negroes must accept the rost so glibly given them by men of the stamp of William Howard Taft has Dr. Wm. A. Byrd. passed. We know who are our friends. We are not hunting friends. All we want is to live in a country where all men, white and black, have sense and honestly enough to uphold the law and be best toward all men. We are no babies that we must go around "hunting friends." We are not particularly hurt some people being our friends. We only want the friendship of people who can be relied upon to do the right thing. We would not be helped by having the friendship of lynchers, ballot-box stuffers, robbers of Negro rights and villains that keep him out of office because they want the office to fleece the government and the Negro. We have arrived at the place that we expect to share as other races do, in all things pertaining to the government. We make no apology for demanding our official rights in Georgia on the same terms that we do in New York. Hampton Institute would fare better if men like Taft were driven off its board; John Brown.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1920. Newspaper publishers who have been hard hit by the high price of print paper should find a lot of encouragement in the fact that the bottom has dropped out of the wasp-paper market. When manufacturers are no longer able to use waste paper, there is hope for a supply that will bring down the price of new paper to a figure the publisher can afford to pay. With a great blowing of horns, the labor union leaders announce from the housetops that they have ousted W. Z. Foster, the infamous steel-strike promoter, from membership on certain committees. But he is the same Foster now that he was when those same labor union leaders were cooperating with him. What evidence of sincerity is there in a display of throwing him out now, after he can no longer be of service to them? --- The Appropriation Committee of the House of Representatives is already at work on the general supply bills that must be enacted before March 4th. Determined to make still further reductions in the clerical force in the executive departments, the committee has been astounded to hear the heads of some of them urge for both an increase in the number of clerks and in their compensation. There is little likelihood that either will be granted, but that rigid Republican economy will prevail this year as last. NO MORE JOSEPHIAN JOKES. One of the most responsible tasks before Senator Harding is to pick a man for the head of the Navy Department after March 4th. The state of unrest in the world today and the envious eyes that are being cast from all directions upon American wealth, make it of primary importance that our first line of defense shall be kept at the highest state of efficiency, ready at a moment's notice to repel the invader. Those familiar with the truth assert that probably never before in the Nation's history has the morale of the Navy been at so low an ebb as now. Looking upon his department as merely part of a political machine, Secretary Daniels has developed its possibilities along that line, with almost utter disregard of its loss of effectiveness as a fighting machine. As a result of the disgust that he has engendered among the personnel, trained men have left the service by hundreds and thousands, until today the crews are made up mostly of raw recruits. Scores of vessels of all types are laid up at the docks out of commission because of the depletion of the enlisted ranks. The new Secretary of the Navy must not only be a man familiar with the material needs of the Navy, but he must be possessed of rare executive ability and knowledge of the human element. To restore the relations that formerly prevailed between officer and enlisted man, thereby making proper discipline again possible, is the all-important task ahead of the man who is to follow Mr. Daniels. Political expediency was the sole consideration that put the latter in office and kept him there. Special qualifications for the work in hand must be the sole guide in choosing his successor. There is no fear but that Senator Harding realizes the importance of the appointment', and will give it to a man who can put the Navy back on a footing where its glorious traditions may be maintained. A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right—Not a sacrifice, even though you do down They count not the cost, who fight the good fight, And unflinchingly face the sneer or the frown.

This success is the partnership accomplishment of all Republicans everywhere and of hundreds of thousands of well-wishers of good government regardless of past party affiliations. To all of these we now appeal, because it is the mutual responsibility of us all who will share alike in the consequent mutual benefit of good government. The plan of limiting campaign contributions to $1,000, adopted by your national organization, has left your party unmortgaged. It has been a most advanced step in placing the business of politics on the highest plane, and has brought an interest on the part of thousands who never before have been concerned with politics. Some weeks before election it was apparent that the expenses provided for in our budget, with the strictest economy, would exceed the contributions, but we were unwilling either to leave undone any legitimate effort essential to complete success or to change the method of raising money. We were then sure and we are now sure that every Republican desires that the expenses of the campaign be distributed in this manner. Your presidential campaign this year cost no more than that of 1916, when a dollar went nearly twice as far as it does today. Four years ago the bulk of the campaign fund came from 750 contributors, while this year the approx mately $2,000,000 contributed to date for the presidential election has come from 50,000 givers. The victory won, the raising of the deficit would be easy, indeed, if your committee were willing to abandon the policy of keeping down the average of contribution. This we are determined not to do. It was a fight of all the people. The result speaks for itself. It lifted a burden from the minds of millions and points the way to better and happier days. We ask now for that additional help from all which is merited both by the successful conclusion of the effort and by the consequent contribution to the welfare of all of our people and the glory of the nation. Let us now have help from every American who is grateful for the victory and all that it means to the country. It might well be in the nature of a thanksgiving offering for the return to a certainly safe, sane, constitutional progressive government. Let us by general and generous giving put the seal of approval upon the policy of putting a national administration in power free from any possible embarrassment of special obligation to any man, men or group of men. Let us make the contribution, whether large or small, and whether or not we have heretofore given, commensurate with our means and our appreciation, always within the maximum limit here-tofore fixed. Let us get our names on the cornerstone of a sturdier political structure, upon the roll of those who have helped make possible a campaign of which, in methods and result, we may as Republicans and patriots be justly proud.

"HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a 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. A "My Complexion Is Much Brighter!"

A concrete example of how careless some of the employees of our restaurants, up Central Ave., are of their employer's interests was in evidence, last Saturday morning. A representative of the The Gazette, a regular patron of the place, gave his order to a waitress and after an unnecessarily long wait received a part of his order, after asking a second waitress to request the one waiting on him to bring the breakfast food. After an equally long wait she brought the biscuits, another part of the order, but are ordered. A polite request that she rest the order of the rest, as ordered, secured for the writer insulting talk that he could not afford to fail to rebuke in the presence of several other patrons of the place. The proprietor's attention was then called to the matter with the statement that such help would drive from his restaurant more patronage than any small business could afford to lose.

Indianapolis, Ind.—At the meeting of the National Association of Colored Baseball clubs here, last week, a harmonious spirit prevailed throughout the sessions and much good was accomplished for the success of the new circuit. President Rube Foster was a capital presiding officer and with his usual diplomacy smoothed over the opposition among some of the owners to the percentage that has been paid him for handling their affairs and scheduling games. The Dayton team, owned by Jno. Matthews, a financial failure, was transferred to Columbus, a much better ball town, and the veteran Sol White appointed manager. Hildale, owned by Bolden, was admitted to the league and he and the Bacharachs owners settled their differences. The Cleveland delegation, headed by President Geo. J. Tate of the Tate Stars and Lem R. Williams, received a warm welcome and their program given favorable consideration.

Correspondent of under date of Dec "The success of Aldridge has bee GOVERNMENT PRICE $90 Havana, Cuba.—A large crowd of fans saw the Bacharach Giants tie the Havana Reds, composed of Cuban-New York stars, at 2 all, last week Wednesday. "Cannon Ball" Redding pitched a masterly game for the Giants and held the locals to three scattered hits, losing out through errors. Charleston, Blackwell and Santop starred at bat and afield for the Bacharachs. Detroit, Mich.—Outweighed by ten pounds, Charlie Rogers, Indian welterweight, of Detroit, knocked out Sam Langford, of Albany, N. Y., in the second round of their bout here last week Thursday night. Jno. Trice, left tackle on the champion East Tech team, was a prime factor in the success of that aggregation again this year. Carl Whelan of the News-Leader rates him as one of the star linesmen in all Cleveland high school history and praised him for stopping the Toledo forwards time after time. This view coincides with the other local sport critics. In the Fitechburg-West Tech game, Hansbary and Fisher were responsible for nearly all Tech's long gains. Hansbary was cheered time and again by the 6,000 Massachusetts fans for his remarkable runs, in which his speed won for him the distinction of being the fastest man ever seen on the eastern lot. His feature was a sixty-yard run around Fitchburg's left end. Jno. Shelburne, full-back of Dartmouth, with a great reputation among Eastern college elevens, has been picked for second full-back on the all Eastern team by Bob Maxwell, well-known football critic. Fisk has had a great season losing but one game during the season to Morchehue of Atlanta, scoring 273 points to 21 for the opposition.

"Cannon Ball Dick" Redding and "Cyclone Joe" Williams will be given two engraved silver loving cups by Harry and Frank's famous men's furnishers as tokens of their esteem for the two most popular semi-professional pitchers in the East. Ire Aldridge the black Roscius, played Gtellohe in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1850, when the Emperor and all the Royal family and many nobles and their ladies were pleased witnesses of his masterful interpretation of the character. The St. Petersburg Correspondent of Le Nord, writing under date of December 15, 1850, said: "The success of the Negro actor Ire Aldridge has been wonderful."

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor 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 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.
