THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1921 The First Time Given to the Public by any Publication. Veterans of the World War were "on the Job" and our People were Ready— Chicago & Washington their Precedent. (Special to The Gazette.) SPRINGFIELD, O., March 15, 1921 —For the third time in 17 years, this city has been the scene of disorders and riots directed against our people. Like the other two outbreaks, this last one occurs in March. Briefly, the trouble began with the finding of Madge Ferneau, age 11, unconscious, as a result of criminal assault, in an empty house in the Warder Park addition, March 7 evening. A neighbor woman said that she had seen a Negro passing a short time before the girl was found. The statement was circulated and repeated daily in the local newspapers telling of the girl's condition with the result that a mob marched the girl to the Mar. 9th, in Columbia St., in front of the jail. It was at this time that Sheriff David Jones, or "Uncle Dave" as he is familiarly called, missed his great opportunity to uphold the law and "nip the uprising in the bud". Instead, he surrendered to the mob by inviting its committee of four to go thru the jail and satisfy themselves that the man wanted was not there. Later, the crowd was told by Police Chief Richard O'Brien that the police were as anxious as the mob to get the man and that when he was caught they "would be notified". Encouraged by the reprerehensible conduct of the large crowd collected and threatened our business places and the Center St. Y. M. C. A. At the attert place a crowd of between 500 and 600 had assembled to witness a basket-ball game between a Chicago team, led by the famous Sol Butler, and a local five. Upon leaving the building, they were greeted characteristically by the mob which filled the street in front of the building. As the efforts of the police, if any were made, were apparently of no effect, our people realized that their safety depended upon their own efforts. Therefore, it was not long before they had rallied and were sufficiently prepared to clear Washington St. and the downtown section for that night. While the occurrences of the night before were not published, Friday morning meeting they were sufficiently well attended among our people as were also the rumored threats that the mob intended to "burn out the Negro sections on Friday night". Thoroughly aroused by this time, steps were taken to prevent a repetition of the E. St. Louis, Ill. massacre here, and Friday night found our men fully prepared to defend their homes and families. Every section of the city, in which there were any number of our people, was organized for determined resistance to any mob that might molest them. Former soldiers of the World War were of especial service in forming the backbone of the various organizations. As on the preceding LABOR TEMPEL COUPONS WILL BRING RESULTS. The time for action to build the Labor Temple has arrived, and every union man and woman in this community should consider it a duty and a pleasure to do their bit to finally consummate this dream of a generation or more. A splendid beginning was made to build the Labor Temple just before the war started, but that great conflict naturally checked the movement and it remained dormant until a few weeks ago, when the stockholders decided to revive their ambitious plans and erect a building over "the hole in the ground" on E. 18.17 street that would be a place to be organized of this district. The organization that has been inaugurated to dispose of the necessary stock includes a coupon system that has been successfully tried in other cities, and which is so inexpensive and simple that those who have given the subject any thought are wondering why the idea was not put in operation long ago. In a nutshell, the proposition is this: When the usual购票 is made from grocers, meat markets, clothing and other stores, patrons are merely required to ask for Labor coupons which will be given to them cheerfully and without cost by the proprietors who keep the coupons in stock to attract and accommodate customers. The coupons are later exchanged for stock certificates in the Labor Temple, which stock can be maintained at par value and either retained as an interest-bearing investment or sold. Our neighboring city of Toledo has organized a Labor Temple through the coupon system and substantially all local union activities are centralized there. Detroit expects to dedicate its Labor Temple shortly, and a number of smaller surrounding cities are also interested in similar ventures. Cleveland has long been regarded as one of the most progressive cities in the country, and now it is up to the organized men and women of this locality to preserve that reputation. It can be done without cost or inconvenience. Merely call for Labor Temple coupons—Adv. nights, the riots gathered to carry out their threats but the activity of the police and firemen, who were called upon to assist, kept them from invading our sections of this city where "warm receptions" were awaiting them. While the riots were being driven from place to pace downtown, the only disturbance in our sections was when Pres. B. J. Westcott of the City Commission, City Manager Parsons and Patrolman Cody were fired upon as they attempted to enter the S. Yellow Springs St. district to assure our people that they would be protected. Fortunately, they were not hit. The firing was caused by fear of raids by Auto parties. The officials were of course not known at the time the firing was done. Our people "were taking no chances." Earlier in the evening, Shirley Shafer sustained a scalp wound by being shot while on Jefferson St. At the same time and place, Patrolman Cody was attacked by James White who was later caught and sentenced to the Mansfield Reformatory to which he was immediately taken. Ryan will recover. About midnight, it was decided to ask Gov. H. L. Davis to send troops to help the request was accordingly sent over the name of Fridays Jones. Troops began to arrive, Friday night and Saturday morning, and autos and street-cars were ordered off the streets at 7 p. m. Restricted were taken off, 6 p. m. Saturday, and Tuesday the troops began an effort to the police force was thought to be sufficient to take care of the situation. Several requests have been sent to Gov. Davis asking the removal of Sheriff Jones for incompetence but the petitioners have been informed that power is the Common Pleas and not the governor. A grand jury has been appointed to investigate the affair. As an aftermath of the local disorder, forty colored and white men were fined amounts totaling $1,000, while several were bound over to the grand jury for carrying concealed weapons and one for having dynamite. The report sent the daily papers of the country that "Nerroes are fleeing" and that "14 or 15 Negroes were injured by the Springfield mob" was simply another of those "associated press lies" that always follow such demonstrations, especially since our people of those cities, "put the stopper" on mob violence here in the North, at Chicago and Washington, many months ago. A GRAND OPENING! The well known and popular drugists, Jack A. and John W. Timen, formerly at E. 55th St. and Central Ave., are having a GRAND OPENING of their third and newly equipped modern drug store at 3301 Scovill Ave, car. E. 33rd St. this Saturday and Sunday, March 26 and 27. It would be very pleasing to The Gazette to see our people, to whom the Timen boys have been catering so successfully and satisfactorily for the past eight years, make their grand opening a big success. You are invited to meet them, as in the past, friendship, personal interest and economy. Their spacious drug store is the nearest and nicest in that section of the city, too.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—Anacostia, the historic home of the late Hon. Frederick Douglass, is now the property of our people. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, has announced that the mortgage against the building and land has been lifted by the society. Hallie Q. Brown, Meta Pelham, Nettie L. Napier, Laura Brown, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Dr. Mary Waring, Mary McLeod Bethune, Elizabeth Carter and Nannie H. Burroughs are among our prominent women who helped to bring the campaign for the mortgage fund to a successful issue. SENATOR FRANK B. WILLIS. NEW YORK CITY.—Senator Willis of Ohio, who succeeded President Harding as a member of the U. S. Senate, swaived last Friday night, the largest and most demonstrative patriot gathering in America since the opening of the armistice. Under the auspices of the American Legion, Madison Square Garden, New York's most massive auditorium, was packed and together with General Pershing, Senator Willis discussed Americanism. He aroused wild cheering when he condemned winking at law violations and was accorded an ovation when he declared in favor of excluding from our shores foreigners who had sedition and revolution in mind and who have no intention of becoming Americans. Since taking the oath Senator Willis has declined hundreds of invitations to deliver addresses, but when the American Legion invited him to be the chief speaker with General Pershing, he promptly accepted Among other things he said: "This meeting is All-American, therefore it is an expression of the fundamental things that America stands for, has lived for and is willing to die for. What are some of these fundamentals? "First. Respect for the law. Without it represses die; liberty lives only as the people reverence their own handiwork—the laws and institutions of their own country. Reverence for the law must be better taught, better practiced! If one citizen has a right to break one law because he does not like it, then every citizen has the same right, and if every citizen may do as he pleases then there is an end to orderly government and we descend from the pinnacle of free institutions—liberty regulated by law—to the weltering chaos of the mob. "Constitutional liberty is threatened not only by insidious attacks from without but by stupifying lethargy from within. The citizen who winks at violation is consenting to the violation of the chastity of his own household and striking a deadlier blow at the perpetuity of free institutions than was ever dealt by the murderous hand of treason. The red radical breathing our threatenings and brandishing the torch is no more dangerous than the colorless, spineless citizen who weakly consents to violation of law and thus gives aid and comfort to those who would trample the Constitution under foot and substitute personal whim for the majesty of law. Soldiers who have saved free government from destruction now insist that what they saved shall not be put in jeopardy either by red radicals or weak white-livered cowards too complaisant to stand up and fight for them." $500,000 For A University. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.-The bill to make Lincoln Institute a university has passed both the House and the Senate of the Missouri legislature. It carries an appropriation of $400,000. Gov. Hyde, the bill will become a law. Special Announcement. The issue of "The Nation," of the week of March 13, "21," contained an article by Prof. William Pickens, contributing editor of the Public Journal, on "The American Congo," describing the lynching of Henry Lowry and stating the condition of things in the semi-savage valley of the Mississippi. "The Nation" is one of our most powerful friends. We should all read it. The Present Day Club, which has the reputation of always being ready to carry cheer to the needy and distressed, royally entertained the residents of the Old Folks' Home, recently. Miss Sophia Bailen recited, Miss Mabel Clark played several "spirituals," and Mrs. Lou Mellon rendered several piano numbers. "Steal Away to Jesus" and other songs were sung, the inmates joined in. Several of the home gave anecdotes from their lives, some pathetic, others quite humorous. Mrs. Mary McNeal was exceptionally interesting. The decorations were attractive, the color scheme being green and white. Refreshments were served and the club was invited to come again very soon. Dr. H. L. Wallace, a graduate of the dental school of Ohio State University, 1920, has opened offices at E 30th and Scovill Ave., in association with Dr. B. F. Rucker—Adv. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Southern Whites Regard Southern Negro Religion as a Joke—Dr. Byrd to Dr. Moton. (Special to The Gazette.) The Associated Press reports Dr. Moton as saying before a university in North Carolina that "Negroes did not desire social equality but simply desired to live, for the Negroes owed their civilization, religion and all to the whites of the south." We hope this is a misquoting of Dr. Moton. As for social equality with white people he is doubtless correct and he would have been eloquent had he added that Negroes earnestly long for the day when whites of the south will cease forcing social equality upon them by consorting with the worst women of the race. Southern whites are declaring social equality because they desire to keep the southern white and colonized Negroes. Negroes right to say who shall be their parlor-mates and soul-mates. They reserve the right to do as other races are doing, marrying whom they can make a bargain with that is agreeable to both parties. The sensible Negro, nine times out of every ten, marries within his own race and this is expected of every race. It is also expected that Negroes will teach their children that the highest honor that comes to the race is by marrying pure women of their own race. The nasty presentation of the marriage lives and concubinage of the white race at this time, demands that a soft pedal be placed on this "superiority cry." We seriously object to the colored girl and boy following the trail of the whites in the south in their domestic relations. Especially would we plead with the colored boy to hold a more decent, self-respecting and moral man than his southern white child, chasing him him. Major Moton kindly ask your southern white people to remove from Negro districts in cities and towns the dwellings of their bad women, both white and colored. In the most exclusive districts where the best colored people live frequently some white man flaunts his disrespect for them by maintaining the home of his colored concubine or the den for his white paramour. As to religion, Negroes owe very little, if anything, to southern whites. The Negroes' religion is looked upon by the average white southerner as a joke. They consider the Negro very little removed from the heathen in his worship. He considers the Negro ministry as the joke of jokes. In the face of the south, and under their nostrils, Negroes have lived and worshipped as they do and their white neighbor has considered his soul of such little value that they have made no attempt to show the Negro the right road but use his churches and his ministry as a means to furnish amusement for the visitor that may happen to come to their homes. Besides, Major Moton the religion that allows a people to be unjust, murderous, prejudiced and NO "MESS OF POTTAGE" IS WANTED How President Harding Can Best Serve the Interests of the Race Dr. Brown Right! Washington, D. C., Mar. 17, '21 Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. Smith—I have just read the last issue of The Gazette and was reminded of happenings of more than thirty years ago when of course we were both younger. Your courageous, manly stand on the important issues have always commanded my respect and admiration. After graduating from Fisk University, from the Oberlin Seminary and spending four happy years in my pastorate at Cleveland, I was induced to come to Washington, D. C., where I have been pastor for twenty-five years and co-ordinately professor in Howard University School of Religion for even a longer period. My life as pastor here in Washington where many of the leading men and women of my race were my parishioners, my work at the university and for some years as trustee of the public schools, together with a study of the great men and measures of our national capital, have all served to keep alive my interest in every aspect of America's best ideals. I have noted your consistent comment on President Harding and of what the people may expect of him. It was my pleasure to hear his introduction and read and study every sentence of it. That document impressed the American people in at least two definite particulars: 1. That the man now in the White House feels as a Christian statesman and President of the United States his need of divine guidance in meeting the intricate problems of America, and those arising from her relation to the entire world. 2. That the fundamental principles enunciated by President Harding, involving the first and strictest attention of America's self development and protection of every citizen, be high or low, rich or poor, are beyond question the essential truths to be understood and stressed by all makers IN UNION IS STRONGER COPY FIVE CENTS Kill!

Moton. barbarous, as the southern whites have been and are, we repeat, such a religion cannot aid the colored people unless it be aiding him to advance to the devil. The ignorance, immorality, low state of civilization and semi-religious practices that colored people in the south have, are due directly to the influence of southern whites. Tuskegee, and the rest of the institutions that are trying to civilize and christianize the colored race, are due to the whites of the North. Many of these institutions have grown and done service in spite of the most hostile opposition of southern whites. The southeastern whites, being dismissed, have had to desist from publicly aiding and have allowed the political demagogue to practically destroy the Negro. There are some fine southern whites but they are few, and as the years go by their number grows less. The south is as barbarous as any savage island and its barbarity is shown especially toward colored people. We sympathize with you Dr. Moton in your labors and we appreciate your sacrifices but we cannot allow the reported despatches to go unchallenged. The greatest task before the American government today is to get the southern white man to be just toward the colored race. A religion that is not just is mockery and a fraud. Negroes are to be congratulated if they spurn it. However we fear that the brutality of southern whites has so embittered the colored race in the south that it is practically unrepared to manifest the high principles of christianity because of their resentment and bitterness toward the whites for the injustice forced upon them. Negroes owe the southern whites for their meanness. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. of American public sentiment. It is the putting into operation these principles of justice, of fair play and of common protection to the interest of every citizen that is at this moment sorely needed and which America's citizenry hopefully expect from the present administration. Personally, I am glad to note that thus far we have no political dope by extravagant pre-election promises or inaugural platitudes. We, the American Negroes of this country, are no longer asking for a mere "mess-of pottage" as an aftermath of election, or to satisfy a certain class of professional politicians. If it be true that these are of necessity in the political game, then it may also be true that by the election day they had to some extent their reward. It is exceedingly heartening that the President thus far has selected men of known worth and fitness for the positions to which he is appointed. My judgment is that President Harding will best serve the interest of the country by making a reasonable proportion of appointments to any and all kinds of places and upon a standard that should be meet out in fairness to the best-fitted and most deserving. This would surely modify some former methods of appointments and bring to the front men of strength and character, not necessarily known by outward demonstration. We are expecting the new President to give encouragement for bringing out the very best in the race by placing responsibility upon those whose promotion will best stimulate the aspiring, struggling masses. The day for special racial legislation may have passed but the long-waited for open-door, offering an equal chance in life never seemed more assured. It is a time for cool heads, brave hearts, co-operative energy and sincere purpose to help the present administration to function for all and each, so that the highest good of our own common country and that of all mankind may be effected. May The Gazette live long and continue to serve well the sorely tried people for which it has given so many valuable years. I am. Very truly yours, (Rev.) Sterling N. Brown.

SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1921 So many extravagant and untrue statements have appeared in our newspapers' accounts of the mob dis- urbances at Springfield, O., recently, that we hope all will read the letter from that city which appears in The Gazette today, learn the truth and publish it as a matter of fairness both to the state of Ohio and our people of that city. The letter was written by one of Springfield's leading residents of color. --- The Harding administration began preaching "respect for the law" in the President's inaugural address. Senator Willis, who is a part of the administration, of course, in his great address to that large concourse of people in Madison Square Garden, N. Y. City, last Friday night, under the auspices of the American Legion, did more than echo the preachment which we sincerely trust will be a slogan of the present Republican national' administration. Read carefully the excerpt from the Senator's excellent speech published upon the first page of this paper. Under what is now admitted to have been an erroneous ruling the Wilson administration collected millions of dollars of income taxes not legally due. The Wilson administration got the money and spent it, and now leaves to the Republican administration the task of finding money to repay the illegal collections. EUREKA! Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm claims he tried to found the league of nations as far back as 1905. At last we have the genesis of the idea of a superstate. Knowing Wilhelm's adherence to the principle of world domination by a single agency, one is disposed to accept this claim as the originator of such an agency as valid. It would then appear that a certain ex-ruler of a great republic who, in the war against Prussianism, stood for "peace without victory", was merely seeking to carry out the imperialistic ideas of Wilhelm. The District of Columbia is the American Amenongen. TOO MUCH GAB. Press dispatches convey the information that a chemist in the American military establishment who had conducted experiments under the Democratic Administration announces the discovery of a liquid so powerful that two or three drops will kill any animal it touches, which discovery is claimed to be of immense value to the United States in case of war. It is not at all likely that any government official has made any such statement, for to do so would be the utmost folly—near treason, in fact. If a loyal government official had made such a discovery, he would keep that fact secret, of course, for, if he made the fact public, he would encourage other nations to employ spies to discover the secret process or to work out the process by experiments of their own. For a government official to announce such a discovery would be as foolish as the procedure of the commanding officer of one of our coast defenses, some years ago, who had carefully excluded from the fort all American citizens but as a matter of courtesy escorted an army officer of a foreign nation through the fortification. W. Jett Lauck, consulting economist for the railroad brotherhoods, charges that the movement of the railroads to reduce wages is simply a plan to deluge the railway labor board with a multitude of complaints. Mr. Lauck apparently forgets that no complaints whatever need come before the board What President Harding Said to Our People, Last Fall. "I am for democracy in its fullness." "I shall be glad to see as many Republicans as I am physically able to see; all Republicans look alike to me." "I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America." "I believe in equality before the law. You cannot give one right to the white man and deny the same right to the black man." "The American Negro has the good sense to know this truth. He has the clear head and the brave heart to live it. I proclaim to all the world the truth which America ought to know, that he has met the test and that he did not and will not fail America. I proclaim that America has not and will not fail the American Negro." "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battle-fields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." "If I have anything to do with it, there shall be good American obedience to the law. Brutal, unlawful violence whether it proceeds from those that break the law or from those that take the law into their own hands, can only be dealt with in one way by true Americans. Fear not. Here, upon this beloved soil you shall have justice that every man and woman of us knows would have been prayed for by Abraham Lincoln. Your people, by their restraint, their patience, their wisdom, integrity, labor and belief in God, have earned it, and America will bestow it." The road executives intend to discuss with their employees the question of wage readjustment, and there is no reason why a decision acceptable to both sides cannot be arrived at without proceeding further. Such action is specifically provided for in the Transportation Act, and the labor board functions solely as the arbiter in disputes that cannot be settled by the parties themselves. In the announcements by the roads there is nothing to indicate that the new wage schedules to be proposed will not be those dictated by present economic conditions. If the brotherhoods will divorce themselves of the idea that they must fight to the last ditch for the highest wage obtainable, and accept a standard of compensation commensurate with the process of readjustment that is taking pace in every line of industry, there will be no difficulty in reaching an agreement without resort to the labor board. LIEUT. GAMBLEE BEATEN! The following, from last Saturday's Cincinnati Union, is of local interest because Cleveland was Lieut. Gamblee's "home of his youth." He still has many friends and acquaintances here: "One evening last week two boys in the vicinity of Douglass School had a little scrap. The one who was licked, went home and told his ma. She gathered together her sister and a couple of men and went to the Douglass School playroom, which was open for the evening exercises. The boy who got licked, got busy with the boy who lifted him and the mother and her bodyguard stood by to see that the fight was not stopped. The best laid plans of men and mice gang agftley. An interruption occurred. Lieut. Gamblee, physical instructor of the school, rushed in and separated the female of the species is more deadly than the male.' The adage was verified when the foster mother of the 'young Jack Johnson' landed upon Lieut. Gamblee with her 250 pounds of solid weight. Is it any wonder that he tripped and fell into the net used in playing volley-ball? The remainder of her staff rushed upon him. Messed up in the net with that bunch on top, and having his clothing slashed with a knife at the same time, he thought of the fighting days over in France, where he was gassed and laid up from other injuries, several times. But France was nothing like this. He had never before been up against the 'shock troops' of Walnut Hills. The children made signals of distress to Prof. Thorpe, who ran down the stairs exclaiming (so the boys say) 'I am little but powerful.' He leapt to the rescue of Gamblee, who was back on the floor fighting for his life. The time was not long, before Prof. Thorpe found he was not injured. The pupils were in. Dr. Dickinson's firm for reinforcements. They came on the double quick and the combatants were forced to retreat in disorder. Fortunately for Principal Russell, he was not on the battleground, and so his face was not scarred, his beauty not marred. The invading force is now out on bond and will be brought to the bar of justice Saturday. It is regrettable that such an occurrence ever took place in an institution of learning. We feel that the result will be a lesson to those who so flagrantly violated the law."—Cincinnati (O.) Union.

We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Dayton, Piqua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. Write to the editor of The Gazette, Blackstone building, Cleveland, O., and terms will be sent promptly. Our readers will oblige us greatly by sending at once the addresses of persons in the cities named and others in the state, to whom we can write relative to the matter. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least deserved justice must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Four armed men held up Ernie Jackson's drug store, E. 40th St. and Central Ave., last week Thursday midnight, and escaped after a pistol battle with a citizen in which a bystander was shot. They drove up in a touring car and forced Jackson and two customers to hold up their hands. They then took $100 from the cash register and walked out. George L. Willis observed them as they left, ran into his store near by, procured a pistol and opened fire. The robbers returned the fire. One of their bullets struck Denny Moore, a cook employed in a restaurant at 3943 Central Ave., causing a foot-wound, which was dressed at a hospital. Two flying squadrons and several detectives took up the chase, but caught them not. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

Southern Politicians Must Not Dictate Northern Appointments How the Reconstruction Issue of the South Must Be Met—Southern Representation In Republican National Convention Of Mob Violence By a Georgia U. S. District Attorney A Remarkable Statement and Protest—"Greed For Negro's Labor Results In Cold Blooded and Atrocious Murder" (Special to The Gazette.) The reconstruction of the south is an issue that must be intelligently and honestly met. This country cannot long remain safe unless this is done and that immediately. The reconstruction plan must have JUSTICE and RIGHT as its corner-stone. The blacks and whites of the South must be treated as American citizens with equal rights and privileges and also with equal/protection of the law. It is simply foolish and unthinkable for the reconstruction with any idea of any inhuman rights one race to the other. In citizenship there is no superiority but absolute equality and this must be as true in Georgia as in New York. This reconstruction plan must proceed upon the basis that intelligence must rule and to the getting of this intelligence all peoples must have an equal and the same opportunity. Mr. Harding must inaugurate a policy toward handling the South that meet the requirements of justice and fairness. There are grave differences to adjust. These must be met fearlessly. The Republican National Committee must work out a policy that will give the Republican party an ability to carry every state in the Union but in doing so, the injustice must be done either man. They be no "white man's party" in this country. There can be no "white man's justice" in any portion of the country but there must be one common justice for all and meted out to all with stern impartiality. Touching the southern representation in Republican National Conventions we have this to say: Too long it has been a disgrace to the nation and a detriment to both races of the South. Both white and black men have vied with each other, not for the good of the South but for their pockets. The best whites and best blacks have not had a show at representing their states in these conventions but on the other hand men who could be bought and who did sell and who were bought, have represented the southern states in Republican National conventions. There has not been an honest effort to build up the Republican party in the South, but there has been one long fight and planning for monetary advantages. The men that have composed the "illy-white" regime are not the white men that can bring about a Republican party in the South; neither can the colored men who have composed the Black and White party, maintain elected Republican party. In fact there is no such thing as a Republican party in most of the southern states; there are simply organizations which exist to get a financial plum every four years. This must cease now. Colored men and white men who must lead in the South in the future must be men of sterling honor, clean morals and that cannot be bought. Colored voters, the country over, are keenly interested in the settlement of this matter. The National Committee might as well know now as later that voters of the eastern division and also of the North are not going to be governed by colored politicians of the South that do not help to elect a President. The dispensing of patronage to colored people of the country must not ATLANTA, Ga.—Probably the most startling event ever issued by any public official in the south came recently from District Attorney Alexander Hooper. It is remarkable both for its fearlessness and suggestiveness. It deals with the terrible state of affairs in lawless regions of Georgia and "in the name of a just and righteous God," he declares, "solemnly protest before the people of Georgia." Says the statement, "about the mistreatment of Negroes in Georgia was a mild statement of the facts. In three separate matters that have been brought to my attention since that day, my complaint has been illustrated and emphasized. In one of them greed for a Negro's labor is charged to have resulted in a cold blooded and atrocious murder. "I do not speak of this positively, however, as yet, because in that particular case, while I am having a careful investigation made, the official report is not yet in hand. I wish to call attention, however, to a complaint made to me yesterday, and the circumstances of it and principally in the hope the publicity may prevent a threatened crime. Five Negroes, all apparently well-behaved and industrious farmers, each working his own farm, have been arrested in lanta, have been warned by night riders to leave the neighborhood. They come to appeal to me for protection. They have been to the governor's office but as he was not in, a secretary referred them to me. I can, of course, do nothing. There is no violation of the Federal laws in what is threat- be left to colored men of Georgia, Mississippi or Arkansas. These men have a right to contend for their share as derived from their votes in those states. But when it comes to some man, from sections where they are afraid to vote, parceling out patronage to colored voters or states in the East and North, this will never do! We not only resent any colored man from the South interfering with it but no man white or black from the South must say what colored voters of the North must receive. There can be no one colored man who shall dictate the policy of this nation toward colored people politically. Our votes in certain northern states deserve that those states discharge their duty towards us as towards other groups, or our votes may reckon with them. We demand that Senators and State National Committeemen from northern states take up our claims and see to it that they are honestly met. We hold our Committeemen and Senators, together with our state organizations, responsible for the patronage coming to colored people of the Eastern division and the north. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. A STUDY IN FRICTION. Why a Nail Becomes Hot When It Is Hammered. The heat generated by constant hammering upon a nail is the product of friction, just as our finger burns when we slip it rapidly over a comparatively smooth surface. In the latter case, however, the friction is much more apparent than in the former—where the molecules of which the nail is formed are so tiny that their vibration against each other cannot be observed. At one time it was thought that all bodies contained a substance which produced heat and that, when hammered or rubbed, this substance was thrown off and made itself felt. Count Rumford, who made a deep study of this and other physical properties, demonstrated that heat is not a substance but a property; not something which is inherent in a body, but the result of outside causes. The same friction which heats the head of a match to a point where the chemicals applied to the wood burs into flame is responsible for the heating of the nail when hammered. In fact, if the blows be continued for a sufficient length of time the hammer itself will become hot. But owing to the difference in size, it naturally takes longer to become heated than the nail—though this is compensated for by the fact that the former will retain heat much longer. The number of motor vehicles increased 979 per cent in the period from 1911 to January 1, 1920. Three hundred and fifty thousand people are employed in Detroit and near-by towns in the automobile industry. NUNCIATION by a Georgia U. S. Attorney int and Protest—"Greed or Results In Cold Procious Murder" ened. The circumstances of the case and matters which have heretofore come to my knowledge in the same locality, lead me to entertain the belief that, in this particular case, the underlying purpose is to force the Negroes to sell and sacrifice their little homes. I was much mortified in being compelled to say that it was out of my power to extend them any protection. But I was far more deeply mortified in not being able to answer this question when they came back, after conference to solemnly and seriously propound: "Well, we have our wives and our children and our homes. We have ouriders and threats and come back to attack us, what do you advise us to do?" As an officer of the United States I could not answer that question. The government cannot legislate in such cases, and has not attempted to do so. The offense is against the laws of the state. I cannot meddle in it, But, I believe my state and I are humiliated. As an individual I know what I would do. But if I advised these Negroes so, I know the consequences that would follow to them, and I was and am humiliated beyond expression, because I could do nothing but advise them to go to the sheriff and ask protection. The people of Georgia have no conception of the meanness and cruelty with which helpless Negroes are being treated. I could make the state to go and know the horrible things that are being the horrible daily to my knowledge almost daily. In the name of a just and righteous God I solemnly protest before the people of Georgia. w Away You and or an Ac THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND. OHIO, MARCH 26, 1921 OLDEST OF EUROPEANS. The Basques of Spain All Lay Claim The Argentine Alba, Quirrel Ancient Near East The Barques, who of late have been clamoring for independence from Spain and for recognition as a separate nation by the powers of the world, declare themselves to be the oldest people now living in Europe. They occupy the three Spanish provinces of Alava, Biscay and Oupluca, south of the Pyrenees, in the Bay of Biscay region and also the arundissements of Bayonne and Mauleon on the French side of the mountains. Tradition and scientific investigation furnish abundant evidence that these people, numbering about 500,000 in Europe and one-fifth as many in South America, are distinct and different from all other peoples. They are less swarthy of complexion than any Spanish races, their features are fine and regular and they are characterized by a regal manner and bearing. Indeed, they all lay claim to noble origin. Although the Spanish have long been poking fun at this claim, Spanish laws recognize their nobility and make them eligible to any office in the kingdom. Men of science who have looked into the history of the Basques and sought to determine whence they came originally have never arrived at a satisfactory answer to the questions involved. Some have been convinced by the various bits of evidence that have been adduced that they are descendants of the Atlanteans, the more or less mythical inhabitants of the "Lost Atlantis" which tradition says, with its highly developed civilization, was swallowed up by the Atlantic ocean ages ago. The Basques' racial individuality is impressed on their social customs and on their religion, although they long ago were converted to Christianity. Instead of plows such as farmers of other lands use, they break up their ground for planting with a peculiar two-pronged fork, the like of which is unknown outside the provinces they occupy. The Basques have always been independent in spirit and have stoutly insisted on a large measure of self-government. Even the most autocratic old Spanish monarchs recognized them as a separate, distinct people and found it the wisest policy not to interfere with their charters and their ancient laws and customs. Despite the fact that the Spanish Government claimed jurisdiction over the three provinces occupied by them, these people for centuries were subject only to laws passed by their own legislative bodies or approved by them. They negotiated treaties with foreign states independently of Spain and were generally recognized as a separate, independent political entity. In 1876 Spain took away a large measure of their autonomy because they had tangled themselves up with outside politics. Their ancient charters and their old forms of self-government however, were retained. THE "FLYING FOX." Is Really a Fruit-Eating Bat and Derea Erik Population Bears Evil Reputation. The flying fox, against which the Queensland department of agriculture is employing a German flame projector, is really a bat of evil reputation. It is more properly called the fruit-eating bat, or fruit-bat, and the Australian fruit growers have long waged war on it, though, so far out without much success. Prof. Moses observed them in the A-stralian bush, and described how "in a dense piece of bush, consisting principally of young trees, the trees were hung over with these bats, looking like great black fruits. As we approached the bats showed signs of uneasiness, and after the first shot were rather difficult to approach, moving from before us and pitching in a fresh tree some distance ahead. The bats uttered a curious cackling sound when disturbed. They were in enormous clusters, and although thousands had been shot not long before by a large party, got together for the purpose, their numbers were not appreciably reduced." In Malaya, the fruit bat is considered a great delicacy, and, when cooked with plenty of spices and condiments, is said to taste something like hare. "Flying fox" is really a very good name for them, for the head is exceedingly like that of a fox. Curiously enough, though common all over the south of Asia, they are not found in Africa. Some extraordinary flights of them, always in single file, have been observed over Calcutta—Manchester Guardian. CARRIER SUBMARINES. Naval Experts Predict Useful Possl bilities as Blockade Runners. Some naval experts believe that the submarines of the future will be designed largely for the carrying of huge cargoes under the sea. The fighting qualities of the submarine will not be neglected and they will be equipped with comparatively large guns. Special attention will be paid however, to designing large hulls with considerable carrying space well below the water line. Several of these craft are now being built in England which are expected to set the fashion for future submarines. The nation which has a fleet of such craft will be able to defy the blockading fleets of an enemy. However closely a coast or a port may be guarded by the enemy fleet the cargo-carrying submarines will be able to sink below all obstacles and carry provisions or market goods to neighboring countries. It will be remembered that Germany sent a few such craft to America early in the war—Boys' Life.

Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years, to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a robbery of the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as a result of the person receiving one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children shall be applied to the maintenance of are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an受害人. The state of the recoverable shall be a part of the recoverable such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6. Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob (93 v. 162 6.1). Section 6284. action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7). Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is hard, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding case, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal repercussions of a person killed or seriously injured, by furnishing many of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (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 law. 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—(ia the statutes) under the heading be ed. representative of victim of lynching.ury by mob trying to lynch another, costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. enacted while a member' of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars, no 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 that also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, and they must do 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 outey 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 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.
