ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1921 Secretary Daniels' "Naval Inquiry" So Characterized By Two Prominent Haitians Sent To This Country To Ask a Congressional Investigation, &c. New York City.—H. Paulens Sannon, former Haitian Minister to the United States, and Stenio Vincent, one time chairman of the Haitian Senate, arrived, Feb. 12, to plead the cause of the Haitian people and to urge a Congressional investigation of American occupation of the island. M. Sannon and M. Vincent charged that the court of inquiry sent to Haiti, last autumn, by Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, was "a humbug" and "a joke." The two Haitians say they come to the United States not as representatives of the Haitian Government but of the people. They come as the delegates of the Patriotic Union of Port au Prince to tell the American people just what the Marine Corps has done in the South At- charges preferred against him. Take, for instance, the case of Lieut. Lang. He was charged with having shot several prisoners in the jail at Hinche. While the court was investigating these charges a notable Haitian wrote to the court that Lieut. Lang had hanged his brother at Mirebalais, but the court did not take up this charge. M. Sannon charges that the court never went near Mirebalais, Hinche or Las Cahobas, "where the reign of terror caused the most terrible damage in human life and property." The former Minister says Gen. Barnett, former head of the United States Marine Corps, was correct when he stated there had been indiscriminate killing (6250) in Haiti.

Vincent are stopping to temporarily in the Union Square Hotel, but they will proceed to Washington to seek interviews with the leaders of both the House and the Senate. It is their intention; if possible, personally to lay the cause of the Haitian people before President-elect Harding after the inauguration. "We have come to the United States," M. Sannon said, "to say most emphatically that the naval court of inquiry presided over by Admiral Harry T. Mayo and sent by Mr. Daniels to Haiti was merely a comedy. The court went down there to make an appearance of investigation on two or three cases where some American officers were concerned. So the court called witnesses for evidence only in these cases.

Sannon added that tortures such as the water cure, hanging and electrocution "have been perpetuated on the peaceful people." He declared it would be interesting to know why the court of inquiry never left Port au Prince in the three weeks it remained in the island. M. Sannon said the Haitian people have suffered greatly during the Wilson Administration because the President has made it a practice to send mostly southerners, who have an inborn dislike for Negroes, to the island. Another thing to which M. Sannon took exception was the assertion made by Franklin D. Roosevelt during the recent campaign that he had written the Haitian constitution and had made a pretty good job of it. What the Haitian people want, according to M. Sannon, is, first, immediate suppression of military courts; second, reorganization of the Haitian military and police forces and the execution of the American forces of occupation, and thirdly, the convocation at the earliest possible moment of a constitutional assembly.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.-Writing of the so-called "Negro Problem" in the January Yale Review, Prof. Franz Boas, an anthropologist of note, says: "The greatest hope for the immediate future lies in a lessening of the contrast between 'Negroes' and whites which will bring about a lessening of class-consciousness. It would seem therefore to be in the interest of society to permit rather than to restrain marriage between white men and 'Negro' women. It would be futile to expect that our people would tolerate inter-marriage in the opposite direction, although no scientific reason can be given that would prove them to be detrimental to the individual." Li Hung Chang said many years ago, when on a tour of America: "If you want to get rid of your color-problem, marry the whites and "Negroes," and in a few years you will have no black people." --- The Race's Greatest Christian Philanthropists Given An Ovation—Highly Entertained at the Nation's Capital.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS That Is the Case of the Composite American "Anglo-Saxon" Lust Crazed (Special to The Gazette) In the first place, the so-called race prejudice of America is not genuine but in a great measure, a make-believe. The composite "Anglo-Saxon" male has regarded it as his right to mingle with the females of any race without being called upon to atone for it. He has done this wherever he has been and no race has remained pure where this "rafter of sex passion" has had access to its women. The colored race is an evidence of this fact. The "Anglo-Saxon" male has not been to loyal to his own sex relations within his own race. The laws of God and state have not been able to restrain him. Where he seriously objects is when males of other races seek the same privilege with females of "Anglo-Saxon" lineage. The fondness of "Anglo-Saxon" males for the females of other races has had a reaction within the circle of his own women. The outburst and abuse, heaped upon other races by "Anglo-Saxon" propaganda, has been primarily to create within the minds of "Anglo-Saxon" females an aversion for other races, especially the males. Separateness of the races has proved a failure in America. In fact there is no such thing as separateness. Throughout the southern states, where separate cars are maintained, this separateness is only for the colored. White men have access to the colored car whenever they desire. Attractive looking colored women and insult that race-hatred program is a veritable sham. Its lines are broken down every day and the fault lies not on any one race. Under race prejudice the whites of this nation have lived lives of hypocrisy and sin. They preach race-hatred and segregation during the day and live the contrary during the night. The world has seen through this screen of hypocrisy and looks upon America as a nation of hypocrisy when their actions and deeds believe their words and religion. Whites in this country have attempted to control, by statute and deception, the laws of human attractions for each other and have failed. The attempt of American to get the nation of the world to share with them in this diaspora, has also signally failed. If on the other hand all races were taught the highest virtues and schooled in the purest relations with each other, there would not be half of the adoration within the races of the world to share with them in this diaspora. When man is taught respect woman for what she is—the pure mother of God's generation—then there will cease to exist that morbid passion to make he the OPPOSED TO A "COLORED" HOSPITAL. Cleveland, Feb. 19, 21. Born Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. My dear Editor--The attention of the people of the City of Cleveland has been called through the columns of The Gazette to a proposed plan for a "covenant" hospital. This plan, as published, has apparently received the endorsement of the majority of Cleveland colored physicians. We do not stand in the position to condemn one for his individual idea on matters of public moment as concerning the race, for environment has created for many of us our thinking and ideas on matters of race import. But as a part and parcel of the citizens of the city of Cleveland, we must stand firmly by and guard those rights and privileges which have been ours for the time past. The Gazette has stood stolidly and unequivocally opposed to any movement which seeks to foster race separation. A hospital for "Negroes" in the city of Cleveland is a further step to other institutions of a separate nature and a warning further of "crackerdom" in Cleveland from which thousands sought the northern clime as a haven. Sincerely, Gen. C. Sutton, M. D. 10566 Cedar Ave. To the Public Dear Sir:—With reference to the proposed Lincoln Hospital, I wish it distinctly understood that I am not a fayer of the establishment of a Colored Hospital, by physicians. I signed the petition as presented to me by Dr. Joe T. Thomas because I was of the opinion that public sentiment was in favor of the plan, and not desiring to stand in the way of the majority, I acquiesced. Now, however, since the publication of the plan the scheme has been labeled as an effort of "Negro physicians" and not "a public movement," I desire to withdraw my support from the venture.

Women of Other Races. the Composite American in" Lust Crazed rutes mother of illicit relations. Unfortunately for white women of America, their men have made a propaganda of them, using unfrequent occurrences of illicit inter-racial relations as basis for hate, murder, lynching and oppression. While the men themselves revel in the tinging for which they lynch others. No nation can exist long on a lie. No nation is rated and judged by its words, but by its life that is seen by deeds. America's religious crusade is badly hampered by reason of the underlying hypocrisy that has characterized it in its dealings with other races. America gives large sums to evangelize the world but this money is crippled by the un-Christianed and prejudiced lives of American Christians. Governments do not take America's word at one hundred per cent worth while, but discount it fifty per cent. The swagger Dr. William A. Byrd. and impudence of America, to suspect it to other actions to adopt the policy it has with other races, have caused Americans to be ignored and treated as unworthy of serious consideration in such matters. All the laws of America are in danger of this virus of race-prejudice. For fifty years this American Government has belied the work of Abraham Lincoln. The laws of America have been used to foster race-prejudice. Congress has been the dirty cost from which the only vermin of race-prejudice have come. America should not let race-prejudice be its nothing. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. By Two White Maiden Ladies—Over 125 Relatives Join in Effort to Break the Will. Monroe, Va.—One of the most interesting actions ever filed in Union county civil court was called for trial, the 23rd, when the action known locally as the "Ross will case." came up. More than a hundred relatives of the late Maggie and Sallie Ross, maiden ladies of Sandy Ridge township, are attempting to break their will, by which a thousand acres of fine farming lands and several thousand dollars in money was bequeathed to three prominent members of the race. The action has created wide interest because of the amount involved, the number of caveators scattered throughout five or six counties and in South Carolina, and because of the unusual circumstances of maiden white women bequeathed practically all of their large estate to Afro-Americans. Further interest is added by the array of counsel, which includes the best law firm, in this section of the state, representing Union, Mecklenburg, Gaston and other bars. A number of years ago, because of family difficulties, Dennis Ross and his sisters, Maggie and Sallie Ross, severed relations with other members of their family and moved into a new neighborhood near Marvin, in this county. By dint of hard work and close living they accumulated considerable property. Dennis died leaving no will and his sisters of course became sole owners of the joint estate. They employed a young colored boy to help abopt the barn, yard and housework and in time became very much attached to him. When he married they deeded him a farm and stocked it as a wedding gift. This man, Robert Ross, continued to look after outside work for the women and they in turn continued to help him financially. Finally when his daughter married she, too, was given a handsome wedding present. Under the will, Robert Ross, his daughter and her little girl inherit over $100,00 in land and cash.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1921. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson now shows some degree of courage in dealing with the radical labor union leaders. If he had manifested a little nerve in 1916 when the leaders of the four brotherhoods threatened to destroy the transportation system of the nation unless their demands were granted, many of our subsequent ills would have been avoided. He is just four years too late. Some one must pay the cost of the war. All the participants will pay a part, no matter how much may be collected in the way of reparations. But unless reparations are collected, the burden must fall upon the nations who were in the right more than upon those in the wrong. The question is presented, therefore, whether the greater burden shall be placed upon those who started the war and who were the cause of the destruction of life and property. No one has asked or expected Germany to pay all the cost of the war. It is reasonable, however, to ask and expect and compel her to pay all she is able to pay. Insistence upon retention of the hyphen in Americanism seems to be the policy of George Sylvester Vierck, editor of the "American Monthly," formerly published under a distinctly Germanic name. Said Mr. Viereck recently, in speaking of appointments in the Harding administration, "Failure to recognize the German element would compel the Americans of German descent to organize their political activities strictly along racial lines, either alone or in conjunction with other non-Anglo-Saxon elements, in order to obtain by political strategy their just share in the government." This sounds perilously near like a threat—a threat not warranted by anything that has thus far occurred in connection with probable appointments. It is an attempt to serve notice in advance that the German element, as such, must be given appointments or it will "obtain by political strategy," whatever that they mean, what it wants. This is language which will not be approved by unhyphenated Americans, whether of German ancestry or otherwise. No man has a right to ask public position upon the ground of racial antecedents. In fact, such a request would in itself be a fairly good reason for refusal. There are plenty of people in the United States of German extraction, just as there are of Irish, or English ancestry, who have to their credit ample records of personal effort and achievement to command them for appointment to responsible official positions in the Federal service. They are men and women of ability and integrity and of such standing in their home communities as to leave no room for even a question as to their loyalty. They have become Americans in fact as well as in name, Americans in thought, in affection, and in endeavor. The first man who asks for a Federal appointment because he has a hyphen in his Americanism should be exposed to public scorn. Particularly should this be the course pursued if he coupled his request with a threat to "obtain by political strategy" what he desired. The so-called "Women's Committee of Protest, temporary headquarters, 1570 W. 3rd St.", this city, is circulating some mighty "raw" literature (German propaganda against France, primarily, and against our people), throughout the city. We presume the same policy is being followed throughout the country. It is the same "stuff" that Secretary of State Colby denounced in the daily press of the country, the first of the week, as being untrue and "German propaganda against France" because that country is trying to force the Allies to make Germany pay indemnities agreed upon in the Peace Treaty. We have called Police Chief Smith's attention to the fact that the distribution of that "inflammable" literature has already aroused many of our people to the degree that will eventually cause the formation of a mob and the storming of those "temporary headquarters" for the purpose of destroying that mob-inspiring literature and putting the "headquarters out of commission." Avoid all this, Chief, by doing your clear duty in the matter. We here and now call upon Mayor FitzGerald, too, to do his duty promptly in the matter. The distribution of that infernal lying "literature" is an outrage on the entire community. Why are not our Women's clubs, the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and our Cleveland Association of Business Men active in this matter? "COLORED" HOSPITAL NOT NEEDED, OR WANTED! Pending further investigation by the Cleveland Hospital Council, the Welfare Federation is withholding indorsement of the plans for a Lincoln Memorial hospital for colored people as put forward by the Cleveland Hospital Association, an organization of colored physicians. In a preliminary report the hospital council quotes from the Cleveland hospital and health survey to show there is practically no discrimination against colored people in any of the hospitals. The council says most of the colored patients in hospitals are charity patients and voices the fear that a hospital for exclusive use of that race would not be self-supporting. Dr. Joe T. Thomas, 2406 E. 40th St., president of the Cleveland Association, admitted, yesterday, that many colored patients in the hospitals are charity cases, but said that situation is due to the fact that most well-to-do colored people now have medical attendance in their home in preference to entering the hospitals. He said these would patronize and support the proposed hospital to the appointment of a white superintendent of nurses and white physicians to form a visiting and consulting staff to help direct the hospital. At present there is no opportunity for the colored practitioners of the city to do hospital work which would help them keep abreast of their profession, nor are colored girls to become trained nurses. There are colored hospitals in Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Indianapolis and other large cities."—Monday's Plain Dealer. Dr. Joe Thomas, a comparative newcomer to Cleveland, does not represent our people of this city in the matter of a "colored hospital" for Cleveland any more than he represented them, not many months ago, when he was agitating his "back to African" scheme. He has been busy with one or the other ever since he landed in Cleveland, and it is now high time the quietus was put on him. Also, that he be made to understand that the place for him and his kind of segregationists is in the section of the country where "jim crow" institutions flourish to such an extent as to cause him and thousands of others to leave it for this and other "havens of refuge" in the North. One would think that they would think and act differently when they get here and most of them do, be it said to their everlasting credit. But occasionally one of the Thomas kind "bobs up" determined to make Cleveland afro's grow with segregation like those in the places they left. And all, as a rule, for a little personal gain or notoriety. Cleveland does not need or want a "colored" hospital, Y. M. C. A or Y. W. C. A. because either one or all would be but an entering wedge for more segregation which would sooner or later bring separate schools for our children as they have for our people of other cities in the North. This all now know. Thomas alleged "hospital association" is largely mythical and not worthy of serious consideration. Our people of this community, especially the "well to do" of them, would never patronize and support such an institution, even if it would close other local hospitals to them and it would certainly have just such a baneful influence and effect. Indeed, a "Colored hospital" would be but another unnecessary burden upon this community and the Cleveland Hospital Council is entirely correct in reaching such a conclusion. Thomas' statement that he and his "associates would gladly consent to a white superintendent of nurses (colored young women, remember) and that white physicians form a visiting and consulting staff to help direct the hospital" is a "bid" that is so disgustingly obvious as to condemn the scheme without further argument. If "the colored practitioners of the city" want to do hospital work and are not satisfied with the conditions in Cleveland let them either provide themselves with a private hospital as others, both white and colored, do elsewhere, and the whites do here, or — go back South, where they can get all the segregation ("jim crow") they want, and more. Colored girls, who wish to study here in Cleveland as girls on other races do and with them at the City hospital or — go South, too.

CURED HIS RUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation, if you write to me. Eugene Gulick, author of 1970 G. Marcelius Avenue, Mamasquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured—you may save a life or at least stop the misery of rupture and the worry and danger of an operation.

CLEVELAND Social and Personal H. C. Tuck of Oberlin was in the city, last week, visiting his son, A. R. Tuck. C. F. Garland, of Blaine Ave., who has been ill for eight weeks, is convalescing. Mr. Jas. Offer, E. 34th St., is serving on the common pleas court jury for this term. The Jewish and Italian grocery stores, as well as the drug stores up Central Ave., are overcharging our people and the poor whites of that district. Watch and see if we are not right. A St. Louis druggist (white) has just donated $1,000 to our National Training school at Nashville. How much have the Benjamin Bros., druggists of IRBE points in Central contributed to our local churches, the Old Folk home, etc.?

Byrd of Lima visited their daughter, Mrs. Lucas, recently, the elder preaching at St. John's A. M. E. church. Robert Goins, an old Cleveland "boy," deservedly popular, died last week at his residence in Central Ave, near E. 28th St. A wife, sister and other relatives survive him and have the heart-felt sympathy of the community. Several lodges attended the funeral from Triedstone Baptist church. It was one of the largest in many months. Fenton Stamper, said to have been a resident of this city, shot and killed W. J. Smith, of Wireton, Pa., at Monesson, Fa. Feb. 10, after having been shot five times by Smith. Stamper was on his knees, fatally wounded when he fired. His wife went to Monesson from this city. Smith's jealousy is thought to have prompted the attack. Wireton is very near Monesson. Mrs. Ida Deaver Lealtad of St. Paul was in the city, the past week, on route to N.Y. City, through Mr. Alex Stanley, another old Clevelander, she called on "The Old Reliable" Gazette, and visited Mrs. Eliza (John) Holmes, of Hudson Ave, who is still critically ill. Mrs. Lealtad whose husband was a former rector of St. Andrew's P. E. church, Cleveland, taught school for years in this city prior to her marriage. She visited her sister, Mrs. Clarence Williams of Collinwood. Eugene F. Manns, (years ago a resident of Cleveland, O.) well-known real estate operator, who was indicted for alleged receiving and appropriating to his own use several thousands of dollars from prospective tenants on leases for flats, which they expected to occupy, pleaded guilty of misdemeanor in Judge Pam's court, last week. Mann's plea of guilty was made after the state agreed to waive the felony charge against him. Judge Pam ordered restitution to all who had advanced money to Manns, in receipts to the same, payment is to be made at the rate of $400 per month, and Manns is ordered to clear up the entire debt in twelve months.-Chicago Whip.

Garland, brother, and Mrs. Mary Allmond, sister, attended Mrs. J. T. Young's funeral in Charleroi, Pa., recently. Go in and see the pretty photoplasts at the Temple and Main theaters. These are two of the most comfortable and satisfactory playhouses in the city. T. Carey writes The Gazette from New Vienna that his mother and sister who was operated on, last Thursday, at the Greenfield hospital, are convalescing. The first Christian church among our people in this city will be organized, Sunday, at 2366 E. 55th St. All friends and members of that Church are invited to be present.

A fine lunch was served, Monday evening, by ladies at the party given at Mrs. Bertha Austin's, by St. John's choir. The Grant Aid Society meets Wednesday evening, at the church, Dr. Chas. Bundy preached an exceptionally fine sermon, Sunday morning, and the choir rendered a beautiful anthem. The Allen league gave an excellent program in the evening. In his speech at Lane Memorial C. M. E. church, Monday evening, Marcus Garvey of N. Y. City "roasted" Prof. "Alphaotetical" DuBois and Dr. Booker T. Washington (deceased) "to a turn," it is said. There was a big crowd at the church. P. T. Barnum, the showman of many years ago, used to say: "There is one born every day, every day, every day." Seems, one is born every second. Even they realize in time that experience is the best teacher. So what is the use of trying to convince a fool against his or her will? Let them get the experience! While we are thus philosophizing, it might be well to add to the foregoing that rumor has it that the Turner Automatic Fan Co. "plant" at E. 75th St. and Bessemer Ave. is closed; that he is at 8:30 a.m. and that he sends word that he will arrive in Cleveland, Mar. 8, for the purpose of holding an officers' and stock-holders' meeting, etc. Twelve guests of the "Negro Welfare Association" and Mr. and Mrs. A.H. Henderson, night custodians of the home, 2522 E. 40th St., were driver to the streets by flames which swept through the second and third floors of the building, early last week Tuesday causing a loss of $5,000. The custodian and his wife were asleep on the third floor and the dozen guests were in bed on the second floor. The crackling of flames aroused Henderson and he called the guests while his wife carried her month-old baby to safety. The two upper floors of the building, a three-story frame structure, were badly damaged. Why "Negro" Welfare Association if the movement is not segregation and a "jim crow" affair? "Cut out" the word "Negro," Mr. Conners, and open your doors to ALL regardless of color or race, as you promised in the beginning. There are many who feel that the Central-Marion bathhouse is "community center" enough, anyhow. Do not wait for the collector to call on you but call, send or mail your subscription money at once so as to receive a copy of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. DOINGS OF THE RACE The Lion, C. D. B. King, president of the republic of Liberia, Africa, visited King Alfonso, of Spain, Feb. 15. Later, he made a call at the senate chamber. A twelve-pound baby boy, born on the birthday of both its mother and father, i: the experience of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Clifton, Druid Hill Ave. and Laurens St., Baltimore, Md. Dr. Wm. Earl Brazelton (white) owner of a drug store at $150 Lacede Ave., St. Louis, Mo., donated $1000 toward the $1,000,000 fund for the benefit of the National Training School, Nashville, an institution for our young men and women. For the first time in the history of New York state the criminal side of law was invoked, on Feb. 2, for the protection of our people against "jim crow" practices. It resulted in the management of the Alhambra Theatre paying to the plaintiff, Victor R. Daly, $250 out of court in addition to drawing a sentence of 10 days in jail. The criminal suit made a civil suit for damages unnecessary. Two courts, the district court of Claiborne parish, Louisiana, and the U. S. court for the western district of the state, have declared Lillie Taylor, age 21, the owner of about 200 acres of the richest oil land in Claiborne parish, on which 12 producing wells have been sunk. The property has been leased to the Gulf Refining Company, which now operates the holdings, and is valued at about $16,000,000. There is question as to the title Lillie holds. Former service men who have allowed their war risk insurance to lapse and wish to have it reinstated must apply to Marine hospital or the Red Cross for examination. The Red Cross or American Legion can furnish the war risk bureau to be warranted the war risk bureau in Washington. Two months' back premium is what the government asks for carrying the policy over the period of non-payment. "Jim Crow" hospitals, Y. M. C. A.'s and Y. W. C. A.'s always mean separate or "jim-crow public" schools. That has been the rule, not the exception. Remember this, please. We would lose 50 of our 66 public school teachers if we tolerated "Mr. Jim Crow" here in Cleveland. The C. A. C.'s waiter strike seems to have been successful altho Dick Smith, long the efficient headwater of the club, has resigned the position. The effort to inaugurate southern methods and place a white man over them was successfully resented by Mr. Smith and his coworkers. "Cracker" memorials, nicely at the bottom of the "fool" move.

Tuskegee's Wizard! Washington, D. C.—Prof. Geo. W. Carver, of Tuskegee, Ala. N. & I. School, recently appeared before H. of R. committee on ways and means on behalf of the peanut, with incidental observations on the sweet potato. Starting off with the proposition that the peanut and the sweet potato constitute together "a perfectly balanced ration" for humanity, and that if all the other vegetable foodstuffs were destroyed all the nutriment in them could be supplied with these two products of the soil, the Tuskegee specialist proceeded to astonish the committee and the spectators by exhibiting peanut derivatives which they had never dreamed of. For instance, his discoveries exhibited include ten kinds of milk, five kinds of punches—cherry, lemon, orange, blackberry and plum, salted peanuts—two grades of flour, two grades of meal, five breakfast foods, new flavorings for ice cream, cakes, gingerbread, cookies and variegated nuts, orange, blackberry and plum, peanut candy bars crystallized peanuts, three relishes, nine wood stains, ranging from malachite green to fumed oak; black ink, face powder and cream, Worcestershire sauce, four different kinds of stock foods, made from the vine; ground hay with chinaberry added as a tonic, and various kinds of oils. Prof. Carver said: "The sweet potato products number 107 to date. I have not finished working with them yet. The peanut products, however, are going to beat the sweet potato products by far."

Gillespie, 2272 E. 97th St., Cleveland, O.-Adv. FINANCIAL STATEMENT A. H. DORKEY. Los Angeles, Cal.—Bobby Fisher and his all-star leaguers expected soft picking of our ball lads, last week, when Jess Hubbard, the "Texas hurling wizard," went east. Imagine their surprise to meet just as tough a nut in "Nonparrel" Mackey, a truly a hurling marvel. He held the All-Stars perfectly helpless and had it not been for Pete Schneider and his war-club, Mackey would have goose-egged the leaguers. The score was 4 to 1, with our Giants on the long end. of the Empire Savings & Loan Co. of Cleveland, Ohio For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 1920.

The "New York Central's" and Cleveland Giants have united and will present a team in the city semi-pro league. In Palm Beach, last week, Rube Foster and "Cap" Lloyd broke even in two fast games. Cockrell hurled shut-out ball for the Breakers in the first contest. Popular local boys who will be given a chance to make good in "fast company" are said to be Brady, Wilson Moore, Slaughter, Roy and Ralph Moore and not last but least, "Jose Cisco" Negotiations of Boston promoters of the new Continental league with the Chicago American Giants, managed by Rube Foster, were ended, last week, by John M. Schorling, owner of the Giants' park, who declared the team would not join the new outlaw organization. It took five years to firmly form a league of eight financially successful colored clubs, Schorling said, and this year the circuit of eight park teams and two traveling clubs has finally been completed. The biggest event of the local basketball season will be the game between the Cleveland Pioneers and Indianapolis Y five at East High school, E. 82nd St. and Decker Ave, this week Friday evening, Feb. 25. There will be dancing after the game.

Elsewhere in this paper will be found the first annual statement (required by the laws of Ohio) of the above named company. It shows, among other very interesting things, that the Empire Savings & Loan Co.'s total 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 monthly business, $20,000; at the close of 1920 the company was paying 5 percent. on its savings deposits, amounting to more than $20,000 (more than the bank's pay), and its stock is selling at $100 per share on easy payments. This is truly a wonderful showing for any young business of the kind, whether its controlling element be whitees or our people, and the Gazette congratulates the active officers of the Empire Savings & Loan Company, particularly President Murrell and Secretary Chaucey. The splendid success of this company last year was a result of the interesting things that harmonious and energetic action coupled with intelligence and sound business judgment have brought to pass in the city of Cleveland in all its history. Mr. Chaucey is certainly the right man in the right place, too. He is a hard and indefeatable worker. CUVYAHOGA COUNTY ss. Herbert S.

White and Black Scoundrels Must be Scrapped and a Real Democratic Government Restored in the South. NEW YORK CITY.—One thing that gives us more courage against America can race prejudice and racial oppression is that it is always lying about itself. It seldom confesses. It is not a resident 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 that names Jews, Catholics, and white 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 in this broad daylight, its officer lies, and says she DIDN'T DO IT, and goes to the expense of a prisoner in 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 because he is not nakedness. The Negro seldom finds an individual white man who in private is willing to confess to being in- (Special to The Gazette) The November election left the 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 and justice. There are white men in the south who desire to make the Negro 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 weakness in 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 fected with the nasty thing. 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 people PRETENI 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 DISCIMINATED AGAINST MY THE BRANCH IN PARIS, believes the words, to make Mrs. Talbert out to be her, to tell us 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 office and Mary B. Talbert, we necessarily 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 dodging is its ultimate undoing? Personally, if we ever did such things to any people for any reason, this would be one 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. IN "DIXIE" Changes Can and Must ht About. andrels Must be Scrapped acratic Government in the South. 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 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 colored men into the government 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 east. No longer must the southern colonies be a chance 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 cry 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 rule 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. TO OUR PATRONS.

Simmons says Ku Kluxism means "white supremacy." It also means a denial to all Negroes and foreigners of the right to share in the administration of the American government. This cornerstone of Ku Kluxism is contradictory to the federal Constitution. The south has maintained "white supremacy" for nearly forty years. The achievements of this "white supremacy rule" during this time is a fair test of its worthiness as a form of government in a land such as ours. The following are some of its achievements. Prior to this time lynching was unknown. During its sway, lynching and mob violence have supplanted orderly government. The lives of neither whites nor blacks are safe Ohio's Anti-Lynch Leads the Country Against The Mob and Its Work of a Member of —Also Ohio's Civil Ri Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, law, seve has other has The standard of civilization has been lowered to such an extent that white women, girls and boys will revel in the orgy of burning a human being and then fight for sourvenirs of its charred bones. Peonage, ballot-box stuffing and dishonesty stalk abroad through the south. Negroes have been systematically robbed of the benefits of education and every possible device has been used to drive the race back into primitive savagery. The Church (white) in the south has stood behind this program and from the pulitah has come the clarion call to whites to continue their reign of terror. The world at large has shuddered at the hypocrisy of America in its attempt to lead the world in the human struggle for righteousness and justice while at home the deeds of cannibals in Africa cannot be compared to crimes of southern white men, women and boys. Under President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, "white supremacy" unjustly taxed nortions of the country and most wickedly discriminated against one portion for the good of the other. In doing so the representatives of the south brazenly exclaimed, "let the north pay the bills". And lastly, the discredited Ku-Klux Klan, that was outlawed in 1871, was again given life by Georgia, the mother of lynch-murder and bloodshed. It was the fond hone that the "reign of Woodrow Wilson" would continue for four more years and during that time nothing would be left undone to reinstate slavery. This Ku Klux Klan brazenly states that in its ranks are sheriffs and officers of state governments. This accounts for the reign of violence and terror that now hold the south under its "white supremacy flag" which is above "Old Glory" in their estimation. At the present time supremacy is attempting to drive the north to retaliation, an nominal fall. It is treasured to incite one portion of Americans against the others. If our land is soaked in blood, "white supremacy" will be the cause. Southern whites might as well 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 the governors of Georgia and Arkansas are that government has broken down in the south; that justice cannot be given, neither can law be enforced. This, remember, is the testimony of southern governors elected by "white supremacy." We would suggest to white Christians of the north to implore 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 world will be forced to as America did when it rescued Cuba and Porto Rico from bloody Spain. "White supremacy" is synonymous with butchery and lawlessness. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with fernant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives protected 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. 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 skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadcast foulest blot. —Cowper.

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 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 fifty dollars, or imprisoned 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 not ruled that they should, but expect it to do 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, O., April 25, 1919. Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Court of Leonard's Form, decided in Akron fall it judement for $500) five hundred dollars was sustained.
