ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1921 POLITICS IN "DIXIE" How Necessary Changes Can and Must be Brought About. White and Black Scoundrels Must be Scrapped and a Real Democratic Government Restored in the South. (Special to The Gazette) The November election left the solid south shattered. How to keep it in its latest role is the one problem that should be solved intelligently. The south has been kept solid by using the "Negro" as an issue that would win. The last election destroyed this issue, though it was worked for all it was worth. There must be new blood in southern politics. The decent men of all races must come to the front and take hold of the government. Race hatred and bitterness must be scrapped. The old politicians must be scrapped with them. The white men who have disgraced the south, slandered their women, pilloried the Negro and destroyed government should be driven out of politics and that class of colored men who have lived by selling their franchise, acting as tools for corrupt practitioners in politics as well as making themselves a nuisance by flocking to national conventions and there making themselves nauseating to every right-thinking person, must and should be driven out of their places as leaders in politics. There are white men in the south who have not yet entirely lost their sense of right Dr. William A. Byrd. and justice. There are white men in the south who desire to make the south a decent place to live in. These men must be encouraged and the decent colored women and the few colored men in the south, that can be relied upon, should ally themselves with these white men and women and bring to the south an era of law and order. We are sorry to admit it, but it is nevertheless true, that the mass of colored voters, or rather colored men in the south, are wholly unprepared to handle the franchise. Their unpreparedness is due to the fact that the Democratic oligarchy has kept them from the knowledge of politics for the last twenty-five years. In addition to their unpreparedness, there is a woeful lack of interest in politics on the part of colored men. Besides this, the majority of them are afraid of a white face and would not dare vote if that face say no. The colored woman is in a very much better political condition. She is better educated and is also a braver specimen of humanity. She must be protected as well as encouraged to intelligently join with the "decency of the whites" in restoring a democratic government in the south. The Negro schools must teach the young people civil government, explain the constitution, acquaint them with practical politics and prepare them to handle the vote when the time comes that they are eligible to vote. The of colored man that has kept shy of politics must be made to see that it is to his interest to be led by competent men and women. The white citizens of the south must run the government not by excluding the colored citizens but by bringing the best prepared ones into politics and by a friendly attitude gain their confidence. Nothing can be gained by stealing and suppressing votes. Any man that will steal a black man's vote will steal a white man's vote, if the opportunity presents itself. Any man, who will by force and intimidation rob a black man of his vote will do the same to any other man if he gets the chance. The federal government must see to it that every man and woman of every race in the south have the ballot and that this ballot is counted as cast. No longer must the southern colored man, who has made himself a nuisance by taking money from every man that came to him, however divided these men may be in politics, be tolerated. He must be driven out of politics. There is no reason why colored and white people should not vote at the same poll and do so without insulting or injuring each other. Then too the oppressive laws now on the statutes of southern states must be taken off. It is to the advantage of all races that they be discarded. We trust that wise colored and white men in Maryland, Oklahoma and Tennessee will take hold of the government of these states and make civilized spots out of them. "Dixie" must be under the same laws that the other portions of the country are under. Life must be as safe there as anywhere else. The colored man must be as much a citizen with power to vote in South Carolina as he has in New Jersey. Men of "Dixie" you now have the opportunity to righteously solve your problems. Have you the courage to do it? (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. White Woman Professor Favors Intermarriage. RICHMOND, Va.-Dr. Margaret Hoskins, assistant professor of Histology and Embryology, is likely to lose her job. In a lecture on the importance of considering the individual and not the race, recently, she told her southern students that she preferred to marry an intellectual and highly cultured Afro-American than an inferior type of white man. She also expressed surprise that southern states forbid by statute any form of race intermarriage. Members of the sophomore class adopted a petition asking the College Governing Board to investigate the remarks. "Southern Chivalry." KOSCIUSKO, Miss.—Victor Dakenhardt, a young white man, descendant of "one of the bourbon (chivalrous) families of the south," was shot and killed, Feb. 6, by our Joe Williams of this city, when Dakenhardt, under the influence of liquor, attempted to break into the home of the woman where Williams was visiting. Immediately after the slaying Williams surrendered to the police, who took him to a nearby town, believed to be Lexington, for safekeeping, as it was feared for his safety here. "Organization" was the subject discussed by Oswald Garrison Villard, at St. John's A. M. E. church, last Sunday afterafternoon. The speaker cited many reasons why our people should be organized for their own benefit. He told how southern senators had said that our people should have very little education. And said that the open-minded white men of the North understood the race question, better than the white people of the South. He said he was sorry for those; who fifty-three years after freedom, still put their trust in politicians. Also that "the Negro question is the greatest problem before the American people of today, because it is so inextricably woven into every phase of the American life. Some of the white people of the south say that' we of the North do not understand the Negro, nor do we know how he should be treated. I find that social barrier is so wide between the races of the South, fostered by prejudice, that there can be no fair administration of justice. It really requires one who looks on from the other side to understand the situation, America is the only civilized nation in the world, who lynch and burn human beings. It's a sad indictment, but it is true. The Colored people could do much to change this condition if they would only organize. You must have confidence in your fearless leadership. Just think of what effect it would have on the people, not only of this nation, but all the civilized world, if the Negroes were to strike, say one day or two days, in protest against lynchings. It will take organization to do that. You people were loyal during the late world war more than any other group. You were drafted without your consent, because you had no one in Congress to represent you. It is quite right and just that you should have a voice in the law-making bodies of this land." Mr. Villard, who is the grandson of the noted abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison, spoke as one of authority on his subject, in an earnest and fearless manner. The meeting was held under the auspices of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. --- PRESIDENT-ELECT HARDING Speaks Out Like the Real American He Is—Southerners Still "Angling" in Yain NEW YORK CITY.—The following from the N. Y. News of Feb. 12, '21 (Lincoln's birthday), is certainly welcome news to all of our people the country over: President-elect Harding, in Florida, is the same stalwart, outspoken friend of the equal rights of the black race that he is in Ohio, if a dramatic incident related by a colored correspondent, whose name is withheld from publication for obvious reasons, may be credited as an example. This correspondent tells the story in the following language: Editor News:—I am writing you a few interesting events that have happened in the last few days. The most important, something of which I think the whole world should know: Warren G. Harding, the President-elect was entertained, last Tuesday evening, at the Royal Palm Hotel in Miami by former Governor Durban of Indiana, and his party consisted of a few of Miami's leading citizens and Admiral Fletcher, Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, and several other distinguished Republicans. The table was elaborately decorated with flowers and encircled with palms, and before the dinner had been half finished the Negro question was brought up by one of the southerners (as usual). Mr. Harding asked: "How is it that you people are always trying to keep the Negro from voting and always trying to hold him down?" He was answered by this southern gentleman: "The Negro is incapable of voting and should be kept out of political office." To which the President-elect came back and stunned the crowd, by saying: "This will be the end: This race, which has had a short coming, only about sixty years of freedom, and you are trying to still hold them down! I am going to be a man and treat everybody as a man, without respect to color; and you ought to organize and bring them together, instead of disheathening them!" So the conversation went on, as Mr. Harding was still playing the southerners in their action against the race. Admiral Fletcher asked this southern gentleman: "Who are you and how did you vote?" He answered: "I am a Republican, but I voted the Democratic ticket." Mr. Fletcher said: "You are not anything; for a man who deserts his party is nothing." He also spoke of the soldiers' bonuses, and said that he must take care of the wounded soldiers at home first. $40,000 for S. C. State School $40,000 for S. C. State School. ORANGEBURG, S. C.-Forty thousand dollars have been given to the South Carolina State Colored College, Orangeburg, S. C., to insure the erection of the Memorial Training school for Teachers, according to information received by President R. S. Wilkinson from State Superintendent of Education Swearington. This appropriation comes from the General Education Board which met in New York City recently. Work on the structure to be started at once. Women Stripped and Whipped! SHREVEPORT, La.-The theatrical company known as Benbow's Darktown Frolics was in this city, recently, for the purpose of staging a show. During the afternoon preceding the performance Benbow's wife was out for a walk with her dog. The dog snapped at a white child, whose mother related the incident to her husband. Mrs. Benbow was "sassy," too, it is said. A mob was quickly formed. In the meantime the troupe was making preparations to flee from the scene. They were overtaken near Mansfield, stripped of their clothing, and beaten nude. Those in the company who were whipped were Billy Bradford, Marion Bradford, Archie Majors, Frank Butter, Japrise Adams, Oscar Adams, Rose Whitting and Belle Waters. If Benbow or anyone else had told who had been "sassy," it would have saved the others, it is said. Miami, Fla., Feb. 4.

The Negro seldom finds an individual white man who in pri- ivate is willing to confess to being in If colored people support their own cause more loyally, they will keep this devilment on the run. Wm. Pickens. NEW YORK CITY.—One thing that gives us more courage against American race prejudice and racial oppression is that it is always lying about itself. It seldom confesses. It is not quite so confident of itself as to openly own itself. When southern members of Congress are faced with the plain facts that they discriminate against colored people in the matter of voting, they say that it is not so and that colored people have the same rights to vote "in every southern state" as any other people have. Everybody knows that to be a lie, even the little school children. When the Ku Klux Klan, which is primarily and chiefly in existence to "do" Negroes, and which could never exist but for the Negro—when this "klan" finds itself exposed, it lies, it declares that it is "orderly" and "law abiding" and that the Negro is of small consequence to it, and then it names Jews, Catholics, foreigners, Bolsheviks, and a whole great company with whom, by the way, the Negro would much rather be associated than to be in the company of the "klan" crowd. And after the American Y. W. C. A. branch in Paris discriminates nastily and immorally against three American colored women, denies them food, sends them wandering in the streets of a strange city, and more like a branch of hell than like a branch of a great Christian institution wrings tears from the innocent fellow-countrywomen's eyes, after doing all this in broad daylight, its officer lies, and says she DIDN'T DO IT, and goes to the expense of cabling that lie all the way to the United States. Of course, she fails to get away with it. Who could hope to get away with a lie under such circumstances? We should just as reasonably hope to walk down to Wall street at noon by the clock and walk away with a million gold dollars on our back. And yet, the ENCOURAGING thing is, that almost always do these people TRY to get away with these lies about these wrongs. That is their greatest weakness, because it is the Negro's greatest encouragement. He sees prejudice always on the run from the light, always trying to cover its nakedness. The Negro seldom finds an individual white man who in private is willing to confess to being in- Died For Love! VICKSBURG. Miss.—This fate cursed city, almost deserted by kindly thought of honest men since an innocent colored boy was burned to give a holiday to school children, has been thrown into another "racial fit," over the tragedy in which Eugene McBain, (white) killed himself after he attempted to murder his colored "paramour," Blanche Lewis. McBain was madly in love with Blanche, and left this note: "I am tired of living. They (the laws) will not let me marry Blanche. My will is in her favor." McBain's estate totaled $15,000. In the British West Indies IN THE BRISTOL WEST INDIES NEW YORK CITY.—A. McD. Ifill, former resident of the island of Barbados, now managing director of the local branch of the N. E. & P. League, wrote the N. Y. Negro World, last week, as follows: Many of the black residents of Barbados are mercilessly exploited because of the rotten political system, and because British aristocracy ostrifies the higher educated black from his less fortunate brethren, and because the Angelican Church, which is born on prejudice and reared on deceit, being subsidized by the government, has done its utmost to deceive the people in the name of Christianity. A Hotel Porter Leaves $40,000. KANE, Pa.—Robert Miner, one of the most widely known men in central Pennsylvania, died here, Feb. 4. He was born in slavery times. Shortly after the close of the Civil War he came to this section, working as a hotel porter. He left an estate worth $40,000. The Haley Divorce Suit. ST.

The individual white man almost always puts in a personal disclaimer: "It would be all right with me. I have no objection to colored people, but you see, it's the others—the customers, the trade, the boss, the management, or the chambermaid!" The responsibility is hard to fix individually. More honor to the Vardamans. One of the most sickening things is that some colored women PRETEND to believe these lies. None of them actually believe them. For example, the Y, W. C. A. got together a number of the leading colored women from all over the United States, paying their way to New York, we suppose, and got them all together in a room somewhere, to tell them that Mrs. Mary B. Talbert was NOT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY THE BRANCH IN PARIS—in other words, to make Mrs. Talbert out to be a liar. And so far as we know, these colored women kept silent. Of course, they did not know all the facts at the time. But that is the very reason why they should not have kept silent. They should have said: "We do not know all the facts, but we do know Mrs. Talbert, and what we know of her will make us believe her implicitly—until we do know all the facts. As long as it is a matter of words between your Paris official and Mary B. Talbert, we necessarily believe Mrs. Talbert, we KNOW her." But they sat silent, and silence of the TRUTH is the greatest opportunity for the lie. Silence of the truth is in fact an endorsement of the lie. But NOW even the leading white women, who are unafraid, have admitted that Mrs. Talbert was treated in just the way she said she was treated, and that she was treated that WAY ONLY BY AMERICAN WHITE WOMEN, and that she was royally treated by all foreign women. But coming back to the first idea: Why does prejudice not see that this dooling is its ultimate undoing? Personally, if we ever did such things to any people for any reason, this would be our attitude: Yes, we-did it, and we will do it again. If colored people support their own cause more loyally, they will keep this devilment on the run. Wm. Pickens. Haiti and Santo Domingo. Senator Hiram Johnson has introduced a bill calling for a Senate investigation of our invasion of Haiti and Santo Domingo. Good! A Congressional inquiry would be the first step toward righting an intolerable wrong, but only if painstaking and determined to go to the bottom of one of the most wanton and unjustifiable acts of aggression in our history. Strong words these, but the evidence will disclose a combination of administrative autocracy flagrantly violating our Constitution, of brutal militarism, of financial exploitation, of official incompetency without precedent or parallel. That the whole wretched business is glazed with a veneer of hypocritical idealism, only makes it the more nauseaful. When so eminent and conservative an authority on American law as Mr. Moorfield Storey, lately president of the American Bar Association, declares that every official connected with the seizure of Haiti can be and should be impeached, even the skeptic may feel certain that investigation cannot proceed too swiftly—Editor O. G. Villard in the New York Nation. Catholic Editor's Appeal In a spicy editorial, "America," a Catholic periodical admonishes its religious kin in regards to its attitude toward the "Negro." "Whatever excuses may be offered," says "America," "we have never done the Negro full justice. We Catholics owe the Negro a debt in justice and charity, in the payment of which we have been somewhat sluggish. We need not admit social equality which in fact does not exist, but we surely cannot exclude the Negro from the law by which we are bidden to do to others as we would have others do to us." The editor then suggests a practical way of paying their debt, i.e., by supporting schools and churches for them in the south. The editorial closes with a true Christian viewpoint: "If we take to heart Our Lord's exhortation to love all men, we need not worry ourselves with the ethological and social issues of the Negro question." r PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES (in Advance) Three Months ..............,.. 50 Babscribers are requested to remit by pestoffice money order or reg- fatered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleve- land, Ohio, as second-class ‘mail matter.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1921. ‘The prosperity wreckers will soon be out of office, declares the Manufac- turers’ Record, a southern publication. Yes, and two years hence the Demo; rats will be trying to charge the de- pression of 1920 to the Republicans notwithstanding the [fact that the slump started in November, 1919, s year before the election which resulted in a Republican victory. —ti—— When Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, went to Presi- dent-elect Harding for “a message to the South”; when dinners were giver and individuals sent to Mr. Harding for the same purpose, the latter told all that he had no message for that section that was not. for the entire country, including the North. Then it was that President-elect Harding con- vineed the whole country, particularly the South and our people, that he was not to be “used” as have too many of our Republican Presidents in the past. His newspaper training is undoubted: ly a great help to the President-elect ‘The Republican party can stand the Democratic blockade of essential leg- islation. March 4th is not long away and an extra session of Congress is ir the offing, with an overwhelming Re- publican majority in power, The ques tion is, How well can the country stand the delay? Ever since the ar mistice the Democrats have fough against the program of reconstructior with every means in their power, ané ‘we are still technically at war with Germany. If the Democrats imagins the people will forget their dilator; tacties they attribute to the nation a: a whole a shorter memory than ha: ever been evidenced by a Democratic campaign promise and its subsequent repudiation. ‘The end of secret government is foreshadowed in the amendment which the Republican Senate adopted before passing the Meat Packer Bill, requir- ing that the proceedings of the Live- stock Commission must be conducted in open session. Quite likely there aré times when an executive session would be more satisfactory to the Commis- sion, but this is the people’s govern- ment and the Commission, if created, will be an administrative commission serving the people—livestock growers, livestock traders and consumers of meat. If the Congress of the United States sees fit to establish a Live- ‘stock Commission, that commission will be a servant and not a master of the people. ae THE R. R. WAGE SCALE. ‘The railroads are demanding tha the wages of their employees shall be cut, They claim that reduction in wages has featured almost every othe! industry,\and that workers perform. ing similar duties to their own em ployees are receiving much less. Fur thermore, it is declared that many of the roads will go into bankruptey un less a wage scale is authorized more in keeping with the law of supply an¢ demand. Of course the employees are going to put up a stiff fight against any lowering of the price of labor fixed during the war, and their objec- tions are characterized by the usual veiled threats that they will not sub- mit quietly to wage reductions. . The public in this instance, as in every other relating to transportation, is the court of last resort. The transporta- tion act constituted a board to fix wages, but it was never intended that the schedule decided upon should be out of ail proportion to those paid in other similar lines of industry, If it is found that the law permits any agency constituted thereunder to miulet the railroads, and therefore the public, of money for the payment of wages in excess of the natural stand- urd, a way will quickly be found to amend it. The controversy at Chica- go may result in a temporary advan- tage for the railroad employees, but the years that are before us are going to see a government for the public welfare, and ultimately any public in- justice contained in a present wage award will be remedied. \THE EMPIRE SAVINGS & LOAN COMPANY. Elsewhere in this paper will be found the first annual statement (re- quired by the laws of Ohio) of the above named company. It shows, among other very interesting things, that the Empire Savings & Loan Co.'s totgl clearings for the first eight months of its existence were $154,- 000; savings deposits amounted to more than $55,000, divided among nearly 400 depositors; average month: ly business, $20,000; at the close of 1920 the company was paying 5 per cent. on its savings deposits, amount- ing to more than $20,000 (more than the bank's pay), and its stock is sell- ing at $100 per share on easy pay- ments. This is truly a wonderful showing for any young business ot the kind, whether its controlling ele- ment be whites or our people, and The Gazette congratulates the active officers of the Empire Savings & Loan Company, particularly President Mur- rell and Secretary Chauncey. The splendid success of this company, last year, is one of the most encouraging things that harmonious and energetic action coupled with intelligence and sound business judgment have brought to pass in the city of Cleve land in all its history. Mr. Chauncey is certainly the right man in the right place, too. He is a hard and inde- fatigable worker, |“WHITE SUPREMACY,” THE \CORNERSTONE OF KU KLUXISM Col. Simmons says Ku Kluxism means “white supremacy.” It also ‘means a denial to all Negroes and for- eigners of the right to share in the jadministration of the American gov ‘ernment. This cornerstone of Ku Klux- ‘ism is contradictory to the federal |Constitution.

Peonage, ballot-box stuffing and ‘dishonesty’ stall abroad through the south, | Negroes have been systematically robbed of the benefits of education and every possible device has been used to ‘erive the race back into primitive sav- agery. | The Church (white) in the south has stood behind this program and from the pulvit has come the clarion call to este to continue their rejgn of ter ror, | The world at large has shuddered at ithe hypocrisy of America in its at tempt to lead the world in the humane |strugale for righteousness and justic |while at home the deeds of cannibals in Africa cannot be compared tc jerimes of southern white men, women and boys. Under. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, “white supremacy” unjustly taxed portions of the country and most | vickedly discriminated against one portion for the good of the other. Irn |doing so the representatives of the south brazenly exclaimed, “let th north pay the bills”. And lastly, the diseredited Ku Klux Klan, that was outlawed in 1871, wa: again given life by Georgia, the moth er of lynch-murder and bloodshed. It was the fond hope that the “reign of Woodrow Wilson” would continu \for four more years and during that jtime nothing would be left undone ta reinstate slavery. ‘This Ku Klux Klar brazenly states that in its ranks are sheriffs and officers of state govern ments. ‘This accounts for the reigr Jof violence and terror that now hold ‘the south under its “white supremacy flag” which is above “Old Glory” ix their estimation. At the present time “white supremacy” is attempting te drive this*country to ruin and an ig- nominious fall, It is treason to in cite one portion of Americans against [the others. If our land is soaked ir blood, “white supremacy” will be the Jeause, Southern whites might as wel learn now as later that this country ‘owes them no more than it does any ‘other citizens, unless it is another spanking” to bring it to its senses. A ‘southern White man or woman is no more than any other man or woman ‘that attends to one’s own affairs, How humiliuting it must be to the govern- ors of Georgia and Arkansas to admit that government has broken down in the south; that justice cannot be given, neither can law be enforeed. This, remember, is the testimony of southern jgovernors elected by “white supremacy.” We would suggest to white Christians of the north to im ‘THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, FEBRUARY 19, 1921. plore colored Christians of the south to pity the poor degenerate “white supremacy Christians” of that region and teach them the way of truth. If the government now existing in the south should become the government of the entire country, then the rest of the world will be foreed to do as America did when it rescued Cuba and Porto Rico from bloody Spain. “White supremacy” is synonymous with butchery and lawlessness. —il—_—— CORRESPONDENTS WANTED The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every eity and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents.

Sampson, 2143 Davis St., "Jax", Fla. and his brother-in-law, Dr. E. A. Dale, 2332 E. 40th St., this city. It was a birthday present for the editor. Fred is entirely too thorny a "Cleveland," as the result of birth and long life here, to "get away" with that "Jacksonville" address, even if he does write: "I am having a hot time down here in the winter time."

Asked to express his views on the restlessness prevailing in all countries, he said: "What is described in the case of a soldier as 'shell shock' is the same nervous disorder that is affecting the whole world, soldiers and civilisans alike. "Nerves have been keyed to a higher pitch than nature could stand. Like the strings of a violin, some have snapped; others have contorted without breaking, but in sudden relaxation have be- come jangled." According to Dr. Ash, humanity is in a state of hysteria. Reason is numbed, men and women have succumbed to nervous irritation, and they have lost the power of self-control. "The people today are ready to take up any new craze," he said. "I want people were to rise and preach and entirely new religion he would have half the world following him. "As regards labor troubles and strikes, the mass will follow the leader with the strongest mentality, no matter what his views. "Religion is waning. At one time it was a big safeguard against such upheavals, but now, unfortunately, it has lost its hold." Dr. Ash explained that hysteria attacks its victims in various ways. Some it weakens and paralyzes; others it influences in an opposite manner that it too much rains that too little activity. "Such excitability is evidenced by a variety of actions, which are beyond the control of the sufferers," he said. "Take, for instance, St. Vitus dance, which makes its victims powerless to prevent the jerking and twitching of their muscles. It is something quite outside themselves and can only be cured by strong suggestion from without." Dr. Ash was asked what he would suggest to cure for the wide-spread hysteria. "Cure?" he replied. "It is rather difficult to speak of a cure. This nervous disorder is attacking the masses and can only be overcome by firm government. "Unfortunately, there are but few men living today whose nerves have not been strained to the breaking point. "This applies especially to governments. They have been working under tremendous pressure and it is small wonder they find themselves able to cope immediately with all the post-war problems being heaped upon them. "It certainly needs an iron hand to guide panting, palpitating humanity into a haven of sane and well-ordered living. At present no man can be overriding the hysteria that is rife." In Dr. Ash's opinion, unless the present turmoll is quelled by such a firm hand, combined with strong mentality and jadicious sympathy, the man wears itself out by its own spasmodic outburst—a long and dangerous process. War Landmark Is Torn Down CHARLESTOWN, W. Va.—The old cement mill, one of the landmarks of Jefferson county and scene of a sanguinary battle field during the Civil War, is being torn down. It has been idle ten years. It cost $100,000. Civil War engagement occurred a few days after the battle of Antietam, in September, 1862. Gen. Lee, who had withdrawn across the Potomac, set a trap for union troops he expected to follow him. A short distance below Shepherdstown two regiments of union troops were sent to One. The 118th Pennsylvania, known as the Corn Exchange regiment, made its way to the summit of the bluffs above the Potomac. Gen. A. P. Hill there attacked it and the Yanks were chased over the bluff and down the hill. The confederates, taking possession of the mill, used it to hide snipers who shot union troops as they attempt to breach the river on it on the breast of the milldam. The Pennsylvania unit lost 300 men in the brief engagement. Some of the unionists, in retreating, found refuge in limekilns on the river shore facing the Maryland side of the stream. Safe from the rebels, they were hit by a shell from one of their batteries on the Maryland hills, six men being killed or wounded. Smoked Since Girlhood WESTFIELD, Mass.-To the use of tobacco was attributed her longevity by Mrs. Mary Jane Adgate, aged eight-two years, who died in her home on Thomas street here. Mrs. Adgate smoked a pipe for years, beginning the habit when she was a pipe smoker. She acquired the taste for tobacco from her grandmother, who was a pipe smoker. She had no use for the weed in any other form, but the pipe smoking and secured the greatest amount of pleasure out of one of the old familiar clay "T. D." pipes. She had been in failing health for some time, but even during her sickness would not depart from her habit of smoking a pipe. WOUNDED MEN SEE GIANT CLOCK Many, Disabled, Climb The Commons' Tower LONDON.—Fifty disabled soldiers, many of whom had lost legs in the war and wore artificial ones in their places, climbed the 360 steps of the house of commons' tower to study the mechanism of "Big Ben," the giant timepiece. The soldiers are being trained by the ministry of labor in watch and clock repair. One, spying the clock mechanism, exclaimed: "Is this the works? It looks more like a blinking, printing machine." A guide told the party that the clock was designed by Lord Grimthorp and was placed in the tower in 1859. It has been working for sixty years and still is regarded as one of the best timekeepers in the world. The minute hand is fourteen feet long and weighs 224 pounds, and the pendulum which requires two seconds to complete each swing, weighs 700 pounds. The bell which sounds the hour has a diameter of 2 feet and weighs fourteen tons, the weight of the striking hammers being 766 pounds. An electric motor now winds the clock in twenty minutes. Formerly, it took two men working three offences & a week to complete the task. Is a Busy Man TIFFIN, Ohio.—Fifteen hours a day at mending an automobile, pulling teeth, coaching a football team or preaching. If you want to find a man who can do all these and more you will find in Rev. Dr. Otto Newton or Tiffin. Not, that he spends fifteen hours every day doing a medley of things. He puts in the fifteen hours every day, but usually at only one thing, any one of this variety. Dr. Newton is a skilled mechanic, a licensed coach, a football coach, a basketball and evangelist. On Sundays he can be found at the First Baptist church. During the week he trains the football squad and directs athletics at Heidelberg university. Between seasons he does not hesitate to help out an automobile man or put in his daily fifteen hours at dentist's chair or busy himself at his most loved occupation, preaching. Dr. Newton began his career as a teacher in Noble county. From college he went to Columbus, where he practiced dentistry ten years. Then he practiced the dental clinic he successful. His churches were crowded. His success carried him into the evangelistic field. When Dr. Newton came to the First Baptist church, Heidelberg university needed an athletic director. He took the job and soon pulled the Heidelberg football team out of the losing line into line for the state pennant. He is working with this as his No Effect On Plants SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—H. M. M. official weather prognosticator here, throws a harpoon into the pet theory that the moon has a great deal to do with the vegetable, animal and human life growth. It is all bunker-built, him. We have calls every day asking the phase of the moon from people who are contemplating planting something or who believe it has some effect on human life. The moon has no effect on any life on the earth's surface. The only effect it has on human life is on the moon's surface is that it draws the tides. Under proper conditions of the sky the only way the moon can affect human life is to furnish moonlight for young couples." Curiosity Killed $55 ST. LOUIS—When Clyde Smith of Rose City, Mich., stopped here to see the sights on his way to Oklahoma he met an amable stranger at Union station. "Let's go over to the Merchants' Exchange and see what's doing," the stranger suggested. "Lend me $55. I got a tip on the market that will clean up a fortune for us," the stranger said. Smith produced the money and at the stranger's direction went to Union station to wait for him. He had a hotel room then he decided to report the affair to the police. Costly Acquaintance KANSAS CITY.—Fleeting acquaintance with a pretty, stylishly dressed young woman cost James F. Caldwell, traveling salesman, a broken head and bonds, cash and jewelry valued at approximately $6,000, when his acquaintance led him, he declared, into the clutches of two "rough bandits" near Gillham-n and Forsey-third st. Caldwell was beaten the attempted to put up a fight against the hold-ups. Cow Starts Trouble SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—When a cow stole into Mrs. Mary Khrasiksha's back yard and gobbled up two pairs of pants belonging to B. Bullett that were hanging on a line it started a mess of trouble. Bullett, a boarder, refused to pay a $47 board bill. Mrs. Khrasiksha called the law in. The law, after arguing pro and con, decided Bullett would be recompensed by paying but half of the bill. Needle In Hand Breaks M'ALESTER, Okla.— The knowledge that a sewing machine needle was embedded in her hand seemed a trivial matter to Mrs. S. A. Scott twenty-five years ago. In fact she had forgotten all about the needle until recently, when she broke the bit of needle while twisting a lid onto a jar of fruit preserves. An abcess developed.

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 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 Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. Limitations of action. Section 6278.

(93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had THE GAZE who Might S "Admired By Every Man and Envied By Every Woman"..... OTHER FAMOUS EXELENTO BEAUTY PREPARATIONS 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, catering or a hotel, public accommodation, public convenience 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 fifty dollars 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 that the court has as offered as they should, but expect it to for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, Q., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor of The Gazette Cleveland, O. Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Repo. Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours. C. R. Grant.
