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."

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.

SOUTHERN AMERICAN PREJU- DICE IN CUBA Already reports are being cireulated that colored Cubans ate planning to vevolt. 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 south- ern whites to.treat colored Cubans as inferiors and to as large an extent &s possible disbar them from partici- pation in the tunting of the govera- ment. During the last few years when the government has been run in aceordance with American sentiment as it obtains in the south, law and order have broken down.
