Holly crowded the Court of Chancery to hear the unusual case of a white man in an appeal for custody of a little colored boy whom he had cared for as a son since infancy. His appeal was successful and the boy will be taken from his colored parents and given over to the care of the man who acted as his guardian in almost his entire life. George Tomlinson, a painter, of Mt. Holly, about 30 years ago married a young colored woman and they have had four children, all girls. Tomlinson desired a little boy and when about ten years ago, Harvey Still was arrested and his wife ran way, teasing a baby boy six months old with no one to care for him, a neighbor took him to the Tomlinson home, where he has since lived and has come to be repaired as one of the family. Tomlinson sometimes ago became reunited and decided they would like to have their son, now ten years old, living with them. Tomlinson, however, refused to consider parting with the youngster and his parents accordingly had recourse to legal proceedings. The fight between the Tomlinson and the Stills for the boy has arraigned intense interest in Mt. Holly, and sympathy generally has been with Tomlinson, a man of 50 years, who enjoys a good reputation in the town. Tomlinson will immediately begin efforts to recover the custody and will go to New York and employ detectives to aid him in his search. 1 Lectures on "The Lynchling o Haitians" By American Marines— 3,250 Lynch-Murders Declaring that the exposure of conditions in Haiti had been made possible only by the organization and group action of the N. A. A. C. P., Hon. James Weldon Johnson, former American consul in Niceiraguay, and secretary of the organization, warned our people last Friday evening, at K. Tech. High school, that only cultured and aggressive action could secure our rights as American citizens. He is touring the country In the interests of the association. Mr. Johnson asserted that only prompt action on our part will keep the Ku Klux Klan out of the north. He declared our spirit has changed and the time has passed when we can be shot in the back. He spent eight weeks investigating the Haitian lynch-murders and outrages the direct result of the American occupation. The publication of his charge that U. S. marines had killed 3,250 native Haitians has killed and caused 3,250 indiscriminate, murder, he said. He declared the investigation of conditions in Haiti was a mere "white-wash." The Haitian civil administration, Mr. Johnson, is in the hands of southern American "white" officeholders who for the first time have introduced color-prejudice; in Haiti: "Stories of atrocities by Haitians are propaganda, pure and simple, propaganda of the kind always directed toward a people actually or potentially exploited." He declared American occupation in Haiti originated in commercial intrigue centering in Wall Street. President-elect Warren G. Harding, during last Fall's campaign, gave this Haitian outrage the attention necessary to bring the matter before the country in such a way that an airing of it was forced on the Wilson administration's navy, department which proceeded promptly to order and conduct a farce of an investigation which closed recently and was termed "The Naval Court Inquiry." The Congress, to convene, March 4, this year, will unidoubtedly order an investigation which will bring out and to the public the real facts of the "Rape of Haiti," better known as "The American lynching of Haitians." The Negro Welfare Association Annual Meeting The public is most cordially invited to attend the annual meeting of the Negro Welfare Association in Tried-Stone Baptist church, E. 38th St. and Scovell Ave., Monday, Jan. 24th, at 8 P. M. The annual report will be rendered, a statement will be made of plans for the ensuing year and the election of officers and trustees will be held. Dr. P. O'Connell, former pastor of Cory M. E. church, will deliver the principal address of the evening.—Adv. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Reorganization of Klu Klux Klan a Part of Southern Democratic Policy-Its Fight on Harding (Special to The Gazette) President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, seconded by his close ally, ex-President William Foward Taft, with many prominent Americans, has joined in a protest against the propaganda of race butted as staged against the Jews in this country. A white skin calls forth protection and sympathy in America among certain peoples. High officials, presidents and ex-presidents have never joined in a protest against the such-murdering and butchering of Afri-Americans. There has been an insidious propaganda of state against us for many years. President Wilson and Mr. Taft, if they have not approved it, have at least kept silent with respect to it. American hypocrisy is the bane of this nation. Inability to be just toward all men is very conspicuous. High sounding phrases of "brotherhood and righteousness" are destroyed with injustice. No wonder America is hated pretty generally throughout the world today. She has been a veritable hypocrite among nations under the Wilson administration, particularly. America, if we were not afraid to do so now because of the unrest of the world, would announce the war as the "home of the white man for whose benefit this government exists." The American church is viciously hypocritical as is the state. In fact the smallest men Dr. William A. Byrd. in America may be found to a large extent in the American clergy. Before burning, murder and the crucest death practiced upon Afro-Americanians, the American church as a whole has been as silent as the grave. In many of the great American colleges in this country, hate is fed to the student body and the appearance of an Afro-American among them means almost a riot. We sympathize with the Jew in his hour of bitterest trial and persecution. However, no race has drunk the dregs of hate and abuse like our race and that, too, practically without a voice raised to help us. The education, being forced on the southern Afro-American, is one of inferiority and cringing. The money, largely given from the north to aid him, is used to make him satisfied with the damnable conditions he suffers. It is used to aid the south in keeping him afraid of his life. It is used to make him consider himself and his race inferior to a white skin, however ignorant and vicious it may be. The Jew is getting his. After the Jew, will come the German and other foreigners. All of this is here in America in spite of the religious professions of the American saints. Col. Simmons (white) in outlining the purpose of his Ku-KluX Klan makes it clear that the authorities of the law and officers of the government in Georgia are in sympathy with it. Besides the Klan makes no public appearance without officers of the law in its ranks. The south is run solely for the benefit of the southern Democratic party. "White supremacy" which has been and is a slogan of southern Democracy, is the chief slogan of the Ku KluX Klan. Part of the troubles now damaging the south is due to workings of this iniquitous organization. Its professions of justice and law-enforcement are not to be taken on their face. Under the reign of Ku KluXism in Georgia, there has been an orgy of lynching, incendiarism, murder and general lawlessness. All of this has been for the most part against citizens of color. Out of the decisions of this Ku KluX Klan, it was decided to cause the defeat of Warren G. Harding for the IN UNION IS STRONG COPY FIVE CENTS nancy NT PROTEST Propaganda Bearing Race Only Klux Klan a Part of tic Policy—Its Fight Harding presidency by linking him up with the "Negroes" both in blood and sympathy. Harding was booked as the enemy of the south and Ku Kluxism. Under the crushing defeat of November last the Democratic party of the south decided to use the sophistry of Ku Kluxism to reinstate itself into the riaces of the white American voter. In order that the Democratic party might commit crimes similar to what it is now committing in the south everywhere, it decided to gown itself in a white-robed secret order, where men may take an oath to do anything disdainfully which will never be told. The southern Democratic party through the Ku Klux Klan seeks to recruit its ranks by means of hate and intrigue. It is avowedly opposed to the race participating in the running of the government. This in itself is subversive of the federal constitution. It plides itself to maintain the "supremacy of the original white citizens," such as live in murderous Georgia, at all cost and hazards. Why should any honorable men unite under the cover of secrecy to perpetuate a reign of bloodshed as has been going on in Georgia for years? Mr. Taft's advice, to not insult the south, is playing into the hands of the southern Democracy. Beware of William Howard-Taft! To Fight Diffranchisement—The Census Committee's. Contemplated Action Forces the Issue, Says Hon. Jos. C. Manning. New York City, Jan. 15, '21. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Dhilim. Clifford. C. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Mary dear Mr. Smith—I have read the letter of our good friend, Rev. Dr. Byrd, in the last issue of The Gazette and note his statement that the fight to reduce representation in Congress has been taken up at the wrong time. This matter has come up in Congress in the regular order since that it was the duty of the Census Committee to report to this Congress a reapportionment bill, and to report there was nothing left to the people who wished that the Constitutional requirement be met than either to be silent or to undertake to get Congress to proceed in reapportionment in compliance with the Federal Constitution as set forth in the Fourteenth Amendment. Congressman Tinkham, therefore, started the fight to reduce representation and is able conducting it. It will be recalled that Congressman Crumpesker made the fight when the matter of reapportionment came up, ten years ago and following the taking of the census at that time. There has never been a greater opportunity that in this recent hearing of the census committee and in the meantime of this fight to get facts about political conditions in the South in the minds of Republican leaders in Congress. Many of the strong and able white Republicans of the North have been urging the letters to for some time, Congress, while I have busy for months in writing letters and stating facts through personal interviews in Congress. The facts are that it is sleeping over opportunity in this very instance to be saying that now is not the time to make a fight. The truth is that every fight made helps that much in getting the truth in the minds of members of Congress and circulated in the press of the nation. My own surprise has been that so many of the colored leaders who have talked in their own public meetings so vigorously have failed to do talking and writing centered upon Congress where it would be very effective. I concur in what has been said as to organization by Dr. Byrd—the duty of colored people to fight this thing through, but there are already organizations galore which fail to direct their influence when opportunity arises such as that given at the Census Committee hearings. Whether believing in reduction of representation or not, there was certainly the chance to state conditions and to state one's own view as to the remedy, no doubt. Every stroke for justice counts when it is made at the right place and at the right time, while it was assuredly the right time and the right place to be contesting the ground at that committee hearing.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1921. It looks as though the income tax department will be relieved of a lot of work in checking up reports of farmers' income. Attorney General Palmer and four other officials of the Department of Justice have been made defendants to a suit brought in a New York court for $100,000. The plaintiff is the widow of a man who jumped from the fourteenth story window of the New York offices of the Department, after having been tortured until he became suicidally despondent, it is alleged. The New York American publishes a despatch from Washington to the effect that the United States is opposed to the occupation of the Rhur Valley by the French because of failure of the Germans to live up to the provisions of the peace treaty. Correctly stated, the item should read that Mr. Wilson is opposed to that occupation. The American people have no possible objection to it, nor to any other arrangement that France may see fit to make with respect to Germany. Fortunately March 4th will mark the end of gratuitous meddling by this government in European affairs. A South Dakota farmer writes to inquire, "If farming continues to be the poorest business in America, the nation will soon need to import part of its foodstuffs, and then—what kind of a country will this be for our folks?" The fact is that desertion of the farm for the city has been due chiefly to the relatively smaller income from farm operations as compared with city occupations. The 'back to the farm' movement will be successful whenever farming is as profitable as the average city occupation, and it cannot be profitable so long as Argentine grain and wool, Oriental eggs and vegetable oils, and Canadian and Mexican farm products of all kinds can be marketed freely in the United States in competition with our home products. Dispatches from North Carolina relate that the soy bean industry in that state has been rapidly developing until the annual crop has now reached 1,700,000 bushels. The soy bean is used extensively in the production of vegetable oils for use in manufacture of toilet soaps, etc. At present large quantities of soy bean and other vegetable oils are brought to the United States from the Orient, under the encouragement of the Democratic free trade law. The growth of the soy bean industry in North Carolina, under the stimulus of war conditions, indicates one reason why North Carolina rolled up an increased Republican vote at the recent election. The North Carolinians desire to establish tariff rates that will make their new industry permanent even in time of peace. Anyway, we would rather settle our immigration dispute by negotiation than submit it to the council or assembly of the League of Nations, with all the other nations against us. A young lady who answered the Globe Theater 'phone, Tuesday afternoon, said its manager had "run away," that the theater was closed, and that a Mr. Maurice Horwitz, who had leased the theater to one Leen Krim, the aforementioned manager, objected to any but Jewish shows at the Globe. We called the Jewish Daily World office and a man there said that Krim was a responsible person and had not run away, but was right here in town. "My Friend from Kentucky," the Darktown Follies' play, was advertised to hold forth at the Globe the first four evening of this week with a matinee, Thursday afternoon. The company arrived but of course could not "show." Too bad, as many were anxious to witness the play and the theater would undoubtedly have been packed the four nights and afternoon. SOUTHERN AMERICAN PREJUDICE IN CUBA Already reports are being circulated that colored Cubans are planning to revolt. It appears that they are in the majority numerically in certain sections of the island, but under American occupation and since have been treated as our people are treated in the southern states of this country. Many of them are highly educated and are the peers of any on the island. Wherever America goes with its flag, the American attitude toward colored races goes also. The whites in Cuba have been urged by American southern whites to treat colored Cubans as inferiores and to as large an extent as possible disbar them from participation in the running of the government. During the last few years when the government has been run in accordance with American sentiment as it obtains in the south, law and order have broken down. Life and property are unsafe. The last election in Cuba is still undecided and it is largely due to the undemocratic spirit that the South has left in Cuba. We do not desire to see an uprising in Cuba but we do say to colored Cubans that they are justly entitled to participate in the government of the island. If things are unsettled there, when they are settled, colored Cubans should have every right that any other Cuban has. If it is necessary to fight and die for this right, then let them do it with the bravery and courage they have always shown in the past. Many people have depended upon the fear of death, that used to be prevalent among Afro-Americans, to prevent them from rising and fighting for their rights. That fear is gone and in its stead in many instances, daring indifference toward death has come. Afro-Americans with watch sympathetically the struggles of the race in Cuba. INVOKE AID OF THE COURTS! And Compel Local American Legion Post 10 to Main Street to Our Ex- serviences Service Men WASHINGTON C. H. O.—The ground floor of the G. A. H. hall is private property. The second and third floors of the Memorial hall building were built from the Old Soldiers' Monument fund and are kept up by general taxation (county). All money obtained from reading the second and third floors goes into the hands of the county commissioners. Therefore citizens of this county have rights, as far as the use of the second and third floors are concerned, cannot be arbitrarily abbreviated on the ground of color or race by the local Post of the American Legion or any one else. Our local ex-service men and others, especially tax-payers, have only to take the matter of refusal to permit them to rent the hall in Memorial building into the local court to make clear this fact and force the Post to discontinue any unfair discrimination against our recoile it is said to be making. And this ought to be done promptly, too unless Commander J. R. McQuaig of the Ohio American Legion steps in as he ought to, and makes the local Post recognize its patriotic duty in the matter at once. COTTON AND TOBACCO. One of the distinctive characteristics of the Negro during the past two years has been the Negro's venture into big business of every kind. Steamship companies, trading companies and really companies have been formed. Grocery stores, laundries and millinery stores and banks have sprung into existence. A stock exchange has been formed in New York City. Some of these ventures, those backed by sufficient capital and experience will pan out well. Those not backed by sufficient capital and experience will go to the wall. One line of business that it would be well for the Negro to invest money in is the tobacco business. Negroes smoke eight hundred million dollars worth of cigars and cigarettes annually. Negro growers raise over two hundred million dollars worth of tobacco yearly. One white tobacco company paid thirty-three million dollars in dividends recently. Negroes do the planting and the growing; the smoking and the chewing, but they are left out when the profits are being divided. Since then, the Negro grows so much tobacco and smokes and chews so much, he ought to take more than a mere hand in the manufacture of the stuff. Mr. Jermiah H. Certain, a native of Florida, has for a number of years manufactured a high grade of cigars in the Bronx. He has decided to expand the business and has formed the "Gold Dollar Cigar Manufacturing Company," which is incorporated under the laws of New York with Mr. G. E. Martin vice-president and manager, office at 2806 7th Ave. N. Y. City. It is planned to establish a factory and a chain of cigar stores in the leading cities of the country. And there ought to be wonderful possibilities before the undertaking. Mr. Certain is a cool, level-headed gentleman with a high sense of honor. Mr. Martin is a man of progressive ideas, initiative, energy and magnetism. And the combination ought to work well. The Negro has played a prominent part in the growing of cotton and tobacco and it is to be hoped that as the years go by he will more largely figure in the manufacture of these products.—The Negro World, N. Y. City. 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. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND. OHIO, JANUARY 22, 1921. S. COLERIDGE-TAYLOR'S Sixteen Year Old Daughter a Fine Musician—Talented Performer and Composer LONDON, England—Is music the only art for which an aptitude can be transmitted from parent to child? The question is raised by the success, and still more by the promise, of Miss Coleridge-Taylor, the 16-year-old daughter of the famous colored composer of "Hiawatha." A composer herself and a talented performer on the concert platform, Miss Coleridge-Taylor's progress so far suggests that she may yet try to produce a companion work to "Hiawatha." "Ah, if only I could—just for father's sake!" she said to the local Weekly Dispatch S. Coleridge-Taylor. Not that, although she is ambitious, she does not realize how long a period of hard-training lies before her. And as befitting a daughter of the great Afro-Englishman, who positively hated the limelight, she is most reserved as to her achievements. "I am too busy studying to devote much time to composition," she went on, "but I have started on a trio for violin, 'cello and piano. When I was twelve, I could not resist the temptation to write down the themes that were passing through my mind, and so wrote a little song entitled 'Goodbye, Cello.' It has been in sung in London. I have also written several other songs and pianotore pieces, including a small 'cello work called 'Memories.'" She is most proud of a soprano song which bears the title "Whene'er the Sun Goes West." Her brother wrote the poem and she put it to music. This joint effort was undertaken in memory of their father. Some of our leading musicians have praised her work, including Sir Charles Stanford, who has said that it shows great promise. Miss Coleridge-Taylor has already won some laurels on the platform. Recently in Wales, where she had a great reception, she appeared in a three-fold capacity—as vocalist, reciter and pianist. She treasures a beautiful present which was handed to her after a London concert, and bore the words: "From the colored people of London, in appreciation of her father's achievements, and as an expression of their admiration for her accomplishments." JUSTICE JOHN T. OATNEAL Scores Again—Secures Civil War Veteran's Widow $900. WASHINGTON C. H. H. O.-Mrs. Amy Howell (white), E' Paint St. widow of John L. Howell, Civil War veteran, has received a voucher from the U. S. pension bureau for $900 under the Widow Pension act. This is probably the largest amount of back pension ever paid the widow of a Civil War veteran in this, Fayette county, by the bureau. Mrs. Howell's claim was formerly rejected by the bureau and an appeal was filed by Justice J. T. Oatneal with the result that her pension has been allowed from the date of the death of her husband. Other persons granted pensions last week were Albert M. Shavens, Annie Snyde, Carrie-Brown, Harold Smith, Harry E. Kinkead, Levi Meknight, William Flora, Moses Meritt, Harold Martin and William Dawson. In the year, Squire Oatneal has served, not one of his decisions has been reversed by a higher court. Good!

It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of breadthhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire.

Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. Beverage Inspector Sips From Morning Until Night And Is Paid For This Job. URGES TEA SIPPING SOME OF THE TEA HE HAS ON HAND COST $97 A POUND, HIS OFFICE FILLED WITH PRESENTS WASHINGTON — Braver men than George F. Mitchell, supervising tea inspector for the whole United States, seldom are found anywhere. Right now, with new substitutes for alcoholic beverages being sought and produced assidiously, Mitchell rises up and remarks that people should be urged to drink tea. Now, that is all right in itself, but here is where the sting comes in. Mitchell has to test by tasting the brew of most of the poor tea that comes into the United States. There are seven other men at various ports of entry; he try out the tea; then it comes in, pass the good and reject what they regard as bad. Then, if an appeal is taken, as is frequently the, the bum tea comes on to Mitchell and he makes a test of it as does also an appeal board. He also keeps in touch with the good tea. What a bear for punishment Mitchell really is can be ascertained from the fact that more than 113,000,000 pounds of tea were imported into the United States last year, and Mitchell tested enough of it to have a fair general life... of its quality. As nearly as he can calculate, he made in the neighborhood of 1,300 tests. A test consists of making a cup of tea from the sample and tasting the brew. The law does not say that Mitchell shall swallow the tea, and is a stinker for carrying out the letter of the law, just as any public servant... could be, on course. But the strange and terrible part of Mitchell's life is that after testing tea all day long he dearest that he goes at home at night and drinks the stuff for pleasure. Unlike wine testers, who in the old days of the jug and the jug, carried a basket of olives with them to keep their whiskes keen, Mitchell goes at his tea testing bare lipped, so to speak. He declares that he can test thirty or even fifty cups of tea, and then go home, curated, and then go home without his mouth tasting as if he had been gin'ing on a parlor rug. Mitchell's office would throw a tea drinking lounge lizard into an epileptic kit. Tea, tea is everywhere, and there's many a drop to drink. Conservatively estimated, Mitchell must have two or three billion pounds of tea on hand. Somebody always is giving him tea. Once, in China, a wealthy merchant handed him 250 pounds as a present. After paying drainage on the tea for a few weeks, Mitchell left it at a friend's back pore. Besides having a lot of tea, Mitchell has a few hundred cups, a gas stove or two and several things get a little dull. Mitchell launches a kettle and takes a little nip of tea. Frankly, his business is no sport. On the day that this writer called on him the thermometer hovered arour. 102 and, after blinding four cups of sourcing tea the writer longed for the life of case of an iron molder. Some of the tea Mitchell has on hand cost $97 a pound. Just of hand, it does not come to . . . worth that much money. 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, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few dare dare, speak speak speak to right the wrongs of many. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox. - People who Advertise Can sell Goods. • • • People who sell Goods Can make Money. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. 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 riches a burden should never advertise. His storm may be like a summer resort in flight. Do YOUR 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." OUR LESSON 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. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, in tolerant judgment, may condecrate the tenure 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 Summer.
