R. Rose In a recent issue of The Plain Dealer a brief reference was made to the famous "underground railway" of slavery days and to a certain colored citizen's connection with it. In order to give credit where credit is due, and to include in a little group the most active of the Clevelanders who aided their enslaved brothers along the road to the following life given in. In the Cleveland of sixty or more years ago the leading colored member of the community was John Malvin, better known to a host of residents as Father John Malvin, who was a carpenter and joiner and lived on York street, afterwards Hamilton, a man of the High reputation, a leading member of the First Baptist church of Plain and Seneca streets, now Champlain avenue and West 3rd, and an active factor in the anti-slavery organization. Another colored citizen of local note of that period was Cicero M. Richardson, who lived on Cedar avenue near old Hudson street, and was one of the party of indignant Clevelanders, white and black, who tried to rescue the "slave girl Lucy" from the United States marshals after she had been forcibly removed from the home of Lucius A. Benton, where she was employed as a domestic. This was in January, 1861, only eight-one days before the war. Washington meles which followed. City Richardson was struck over the head and seriously hurt. Richardson was one of the active helpers on the underground line. Associated in the same cause were James Alston and Allan Medlin, both men of excellent standing. Then there was John Brown, familiarly known as "John Brown, the barber," who back in the "50s lived on Bolivar street and had a shop in the basement of the New England hotel. John Brown was a man of substance and at one time owned the corner of W. 3rd street and Literary and Musi- paths, Etc. HILLSBORO—James Wilson of Columbus is here visiting relatives. Mr. and Mrs. C.

Glenn Jones entertained Charles Minor at dinner, Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Williams, Jr., and son, Barrett, were guests of Mrs. Lucinda Young, Sunday. Frankfort avenue, where the county building now stands. Another leader of the same period was Benjamin S. Green, a man of fine presence and irreproachable manners, who was highly regarded by a host of Cleveland business men. One of the Best known citizens of his race, more particularly to the traveling public, was George Vosburg, who for many years filled a responsible post at the old Union depot, where he was a walking information bureau, a traveler's guide and faithful mentor. Many stories are told George Vosburg's life and legacy. He lived in the old Second ward, near E. 9th street, and it is related that when John Brown, the abolitionist, whose soul is still marching on, visited the city, George Vosburgh entertained him at his home. The local community sixty years ago was greatly aroused by the Oberlin-Wellington rescue case, which was a leading factor in awakening antislavery sentiment throughout the north, and every means possible was used to aid the fugitive slaves to reach Canada, and to outwit the slave owners and their agents. A survivor of the period, who, although bound, when these stirring events occurred, still cherishes a lively remembrance of them and of the community's bitterness against the slave hunters. This is John P. Green, lawyer, legislator, author, who was an interested looker-on during those days which tried men's 'souls and threatened the stability of the republic.—Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer. Wielded the Gavel TREENTON, N. J.-For the first time in the history of New Jersey an Afro-American occupied the chair of speaker of the house of assembly. The honor was accorded, March 30, 1921, to Assemblyman Walter G. Alexander of Newark, a member of the Essex etlogement, by Speaker George S. Hobart. The latter was called to attend a national greeting at Assemblyman Alexander in his place. Dr. Alexander is a practicing physician. Ohio, Illinois and other northern states have had similar experiences in years gone by. COL. PHIL H. BROWN A letter from our long-time friend, Col. Phil H. Brown, of Kentucky, an "Old Reliable" Gazette alumnus, informs us that that "Ohio boy" (a native of this state) has "landed" in spite of much "knocking," and is now Commissioner of Conciliation in the Department of Labor, Washington, D. C. Congratulations, dear friend, and sincerest best wishes. The appointment was earned and deserved because the "Colonel" turned out the best "copy" that come from Chicago to our newspapers during the Presidential campaign, last fall. The "Colonel" also write The Gazette—that the Division of Negro Economics, created by the Wilson administration, has been discontinued by Secretary of Labor Davis who is "opposed to separate organizations along racial lines." In plain words, he is opposed to segregation. DOINGS OF THE RACE Jack Johnson will be liberated, July 15, '21. Billy McClain is to be his manager. Bert Williams, who was at the Shubert-Colonial, last week, appearing in "Broadway Brevities," in which local capital is interested, will be starred in still another musical production by Al. H. Woods. It is called "The Pink Slip," and is by Watter De Leon. This will open in New York on Labor Day. An official report, made public by Daniels, when secretary of the navy shows that in the five and a half years since the forces of the U. S. navy took possession of Haiti the marines, and the gendarmeria organized by the American authorities and directed by our officers, have killed approximately 3,250 persons described as "armed bandits." How many they have wounded or captured and imprisoned is not told. There were not 100 "bandits" in all in Haiti. "The time has passed," said Senator Boise Penrose, of Pennsylvania, "when there can rightfully be any discrimination against our colored citizens. They should have assurance that they will receive equal social (in public places), political and commercial rights and be placed on an equal footing with any other public persons. As I understand it, the Asbury bill guarantees to the colored citizen freedom from discrimination in restaurants, hotels and other public places. I think they ought to be accorded full privileges of that sort. The Pennsylvania Railroad hauls white and black passengers in the same cars. You see colored citizens in the Pullmans. There is no reason why they should not be there." The Asbury Civil Rights bill has passed the lower branch of the Pennsylvania Assembly. A Timely Warning! The white Czars once thought the Russian serfs would never rise. Twice now have the serfs set themselves free. Were the Negro not the patient long-suffering person he is, the South would be a shambles today. What other people would peacefully endure their exclusion from all courts save as criminals, their taxation without representation, and their being barred from every participation in government, and then stay quiet in the face of such horrors as the burning of Henry Lowry, so graphically described by (Prof.) William Pickens in a recent issue of The Nation, and the wholesale murders in Jasper County? —The Nation, N. Y. City, Apr. 6. 21. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS President Harding and U.S. Atty. Gen. H. M. Daugherty Must Be Interested at Once- Organized Effort Necessary. This country knows that peonage is rampant in the South and has been for many years. The "white supremacy" policy is the method by which it is maintained and kept from being punished. What colored men suffer in the South "nobody knows." For the last eight years this disregard for the lives and properties of colored people has grown immensely Under the Wilson administration southern white men feared not the federal government and as the war held sway for several years, the interest in it hid the cruelty and barbarousness of southern practice at home. Out of the investigation to be made in Jasper County, Georgia, we do not expect anything substantial. If so, we shall be agreeably disappointed. There is a secret agreement among certain farmers and politicians to certain farmers and barbarousness to work the farms as convicts. For the smallest offense, a colored man is sent to prison and hired out to some white farmer who keeps him as long as he pleases. The courts and the vicious southern farmer work together. When any colored man openly opposes this regime, he is either killed or cewsed that he keeps his mouth shut. Any educated self-respecting minister who may know these things and cry out against them, is driven out of the community and some ignorant dupe of man takes his place. When colored men are taken to the courts and are being tried they are afraid to dispute the word of the most notorious white hat that may be found. The men that sit in the jury room are accused of injustice toward colored people. Conviction is impossible. The sentiment of the community is against convicting any white man for anything he does against a colored person. In very rare instances do hear of any punishment being given whites, for anything they do to colored people, murder not excepted. The state government does not desire to stop this evil because it is by letting white men do what they please to colored people these state political varandons hold their jobs. As political propaganda, these men make their fight on their bitterness toward the colored people. They preach from the mistaking that they have nothing to do with the government and the "right" of the whites to rule, terrorize and do anything that pleases them. Into the U. S. Senate these imps of hell come and attempt even there to poison the whole country against colored people. Senators and Representatives in Congress from the South are there because they outvaulted their opponents in evidences of bitterness toward Negroes whom they have placed in conditions worse than slavery. Our nation knows what I am writing to have known it for a long time. Will it honestly attempt to pay it to it? Have the government to do about it? Have in order and law But when we live in the midst of a people that advocate violence, reprisals and destruction, we must hit back, hit back with a vengeance! So long as southern Negroes cringe and endure them, we must hit back it will continue. Negroes are being killed and murdered to carry out the plan of lawless whites for their material gain and no white man suffers for it. We say to Afro-Americans that it is their duty to rescue of their brethren in the South Aid them in the way that will put an end to their miseries. There should now a deputation of one thousand people outside of the South, colored people who live in the North and elsewhere, who should go to Washington and ask Congress to do its best to end this orgy of crime, ask the Department of Justice to aid in wiping out this evil that afflicts the nation and then appear before President Harding and ask him to use his good offices to stop this gannetous spot on the nation's body. If those who can aid, continue to allow this to go on, then let us follow the example of an intelligent program instituted whereby the unfortunate colored people in the South on farms could be taken off them and brought north, east and west to other farms where they may live and be human beings. We can help in this way. If the South and the Negro can no longer get along together then let them part so that both can live. For the sake of he children of the South, the colored children, it is our bounded duty to give them a place to live in where they can develop and become men and women. To this we should dedicate our all. Wiilliam Howard Taft Negroes of America may not be able to prevent the appointment of William Howard Taft as Chief Justice LE COPY FIVE CENTS onage! MAKES CLEAR y of Our People, Par- se In the North. d U. S. Atty. Gen. H. M. Interested at Once— effort Necessary. of the U. S. Supreme Court but they can let the world and President Harding know that they look upon the appointing of Mr. Taft as the return to "slave rule." Mr. Taft believes in the "white supremacy" policy of the South. When he was President he took the point of view of the rankest southerners. Since he has been ignominiously retired, he has sought to influence the country to follow his example set while President. If Mr. Taft was unable to be just to colored people as their President we have no reason to believe he would be as Chief Justice. Mr. Taft's recognizing the Dr. William A. Byrd. right of the South to keep its self separate and build up an anti-Negro policy which the Federal Government should recognize and adopt in dealing with colored people, unfits him to hold any position where he may be called upon to render an unbiased decision respecting to the two races. Our Government is not built upon racial lines and it does not give to any race any privilege that other races should have. South's contention respecting the colored race is prejudice. This prejudice is born of the desire to keep the colored man as an inferior and a servant. The whole governmental fabric of the south is constructed upon this basis. Mr. Taft advises Mr. Harding to refrain from appointing Negroes in the South which is assinine advice commonly from one of the bitterest foes of a democratic government. As Chief Justice he would render his decisions on this same basis irrespective of the claim Howard Taft made before him. William Howard Taft will be the Chief Justice and his appointment will be a challenge to Mr. Harding to make amends for violating the passage of Scripture upon which his hands rested when he took his oath of office. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. Howard University's Increased Appropriation WASHINGTON, D. C. — Howard University, after receiving, last year (1920-1921), an increase in Congressional appropriation nearly as large as the whole amount received for all purposes the year of 1919-1920 and for several years previously, has this year (1921-1922) received at the hands of the Congress, a total appropriation of $280,000—an increase over the appropriation of $243,000 for the year 1920-1921 of $37,000.

SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1921 Henry O. Flipper, Esq., writes The Gazette that his new position is "Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Interior in the Alaskan Engineering Commission"; that his salary is "considerably less than $4,000" and that he "has no secretary." Secretary Weeks says "the War Department is going to get Bergdoll if it is a possible thing." That's the stuff! That miserable slacker has flouted the U. S. Government about long enough. The world is not big enough for him to hide in if the United States really sets itself to get him. Many have heard the story of the farmer boy who was sent to try to buy a neighbor's horse. Said he, "Father told me to offer you a hundred dollars for the horse but to pay as much as $125 if I had to." The result was what one might expect. It was in just that manner that President Wilson went to the peace conference. He told the other conferences in effect, "I have fourteen points which I'd like to have adopted, but I'm willing to sacrifice everything for the league, if I have to." They took him at his word. The United States did not even get equal rights on the island of Yap, and the world got a war breeder in the form of a peace treaty. A large part of the housing difficulty arose from the abnormal drift of rural residents to the cities to engage in war production. Farm hands, farmers' sons and farmers' daughters, left the farm home for city life. That left vacant rooms in rural homes and created an excessive demand for shelter in the congested centers. It is now announced from various sources that there is a very noticeable drift back to the farm. A small drift of this kind into every rural community will mean a large emigration from almost every city-perhaps enough to take away the surplus and make the housing problem a very easy one to solve. High city rents will do much to hasten the back-to-the-farm movement. Perhaps it is better to let the law of supply and demand take care of the situation. A new organization is parading its propaganda under the name of the "People's Reconstruction League" and announces that its program is almost identical with that of the "Farmers' National Council." The first item in the program is "Prompt restoration of the railroads to unified government operation." Since the whole country has just had a demonstration of the extravagance of government operation it is a safe bet that the moving spirits behind the so-called reconstruction league and the farmers' council are not dirt farmers or constructors of any kind. The management of the railroads under government operation made higher freight rates necessary, and the higher freight rates tend to retard business. What the people of the country want is reduction of costs, economy of management, and lower freight and passenger rates as a consequence. The socialistic agitators won't fool many thinking people by adopting a misleading name for their organization. Our attention has been called to the fact that certain of our organizations, at work for the uplift of our people, are decrying the usefulness of other race organizations. This is wrong. Any organization that lives by decrying others deserves to fall and will fail. The arrogating to itself the major good, done for the race, is to say the least immodest! Any organization that is doing things worth while need not be afraid, for its very work will commend it and therefore unwise words are harmful. There is no justification of an assault upon other organizations unless it be to screen the inefficiency of the organization doing it. Our people have a right to demand concrete results and not be fed on froth and fury. Race organizations must give a bill of particulars setting forth their accomplishments, if they are to be taken seriously. Mere noise and bluster will not suffice. Agitation is good and has its place, but there must be more. Are our organizations, now at work for the uplift of our people, in possession of plans and policies that will bring about this uplift they talk so much about? What are these organizations doing to uplift the race? This must come from within and not from without. Rights and privileges are essential to citizenship, but intelligence, education, thrift, industry, financial worth and religious efficiency must be the possessions of our people if they would handle wisely their rights and privileges. Do the organizations now at work emphasize the moral side of their lives? Are the higher ideals held up in such a way as to influence the race everywhere? Can the organizations now at work point to their doing the things herein enumerated? Our people should support most loyally the organizations at work for them and among them but for this support something more than big speeches and loud noise must be given. It is well for organizations to remember that the race cannot be uplifted by filling it with hatred for other races. Then, too, there must be differentiation between the North and South. Our people in the North have no real reasons to be unfriendly toward their white neighbors. The laws of many northern states where our people live are usually administered justly and without regard to race. Of course there are somethings we desire that we don't get. The same is true of every other race, but in our fighting for these things let us not grow bitter at heart, for it is a little race that hates, but let us fight like demons for our own like Frederick Douglass fought slavery and won to his side the nations of the earth. Ranting speeches of hate that some of our men deliver against white southerners should not be delivered in the North so as to embitter one race against another here. It is difficult to keep from "cussing" the South but there is no real need to use ugly words against the North. The idea is getting abroad that certain organizations are pursuing this course simply for financial reasons. If so that is very reprehensible. The North at all times has stood as a whole for the square thing toward our people. thing toward the. The coming into the North of so many very ignorant members of the race has raised a problem which the North has never met. It should be counseled to have patience, while the unprepared Afro-American immigrant should be taught to prepare himself for northern civilization. Too often is the attempt being made to introduce into the North the policies and plans our people pursued in the South. The North is no place for them. We stand in great danger of having too large an ignorant population of our people in the North which is averse to becoming intelligent. The southern church with its noise and ignorant preacher has no place in the North. The ignorant "colored" toady has no place here. Our organizations must tackle this. Give an ignorant people every right and privilege that an intelligent one has and the ignorant one as a rule, will greatly abuse his. The coming of the southern Afro-American to the North will be the undoing of the race if some one does not proceed and that quickly to prepare him for this civilization. MUST PAY THE SAME WAGES Says President Harding's Secretary of Labor—The "Wilson" Tide Against the Race is Being Turned Back Already WASHINGTON, D. C.—What appears to be the initial assurance of the attitude of the Harding administration toward the race came from the Secretary of Labor when he appeared as the champion of our workers in the stockyards at Chicago. When the conference of employees, called by Secretary Davis to meet with representatives of the packers to confer the labor crisis that was threatened in the packing industry, met here it was brought out that our employees engaged in the same work in the yards, were receiving about 30 per cent less than those of other races. Immediately the Secretary took the high and just position that this discrimination was un-American and that labor is worthy of its hire and equable consideration without regard to color. The Secretary's contention was insistently and firmly made and finally prevailed, and as a result there will in the future be no deferentials in the compensation of labor for similar service in the stockyards. This will be hailed with very great hopefulness by our people, engaged in gainful occupations throughout the country, the practice of discrimination in wages against our workmen prevails in many industries. This firm fintimation of the revival of true Americanism, in which all colors engaged in industrial occupations will be treated as a part of the national structure, gives wide encouragement to the race as the evidence of things hoped for. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, OHIO. APRIL. 9. 1921 Rapes a Colored Girl—Another Com mon Occurrence in the South HOUSTON, Tex.—Police Officer Whiteman, of the Second Police District, was held without bail to answer charges that grew out of raping Bessie Reed, age 18, of 1217 Bainbridge St., recently. A representative of the Philadelphia (Pa.) Daily American who made an investigation found the following facts: The girl Miss. Reed was her mother, age 18, water St., about midnight, when Officer Whiteman followed her from Twelfth and Kenilworth Sts. to the house and up the steps into the hallway. It is a rooming house, the front door remaining open at all hours. He informed her that she was under arrest. "For what?" she questioned. "That's all right," he said, pushing her into an open door, which he proceeded to lock. "Well, you can do one of two things: get your clothes of, or go to Twelfth and Wood streets station house with me." "I won't," she screamed. Pulling his blackjack and drawing his revolver, he threatened to kill her if she made any more noise, and with a vicious lunge at her with his blackjack, commanded her to take off her clothes. After succeeding with his desire, he told her that he was going toward Fifteenth St., and for her to stay inside. As soon as the officer was outside, the girl awoke the janitor, Frank Hope, and told him what had happened. Hope trailed the officer to Broad and South St., where he had an officer place Whiteman under arrest. He was taken to 1217 Bainbridge St., where the girl identified him. Magistrate Harrigan held him without ball on the girl's charge. Whiteman, who, it is said, is married and has two children, attempted the same thing with another colored woman, May Melvin of Bainbridge St., who was but frustured. It is learned that he has since offered to "fix it" with Miss Reed by offering her $15 to drop the charge, and that his father has made frequent visits to the house since his arrest, offering to pay her well if she would drop the charge. Whiteman has been suspended from the police force. The girl, Bessie Reed, is receiving medical treatment. REAL "SOCIAL EQUALITY" In Mississippi—White Paramou Horsewhips Aged Afro-American —Teacher Driven From the State. LULU, Miss—Henry Holmes, one of our school teachers, narrowly escaped with his life, recently by the assistance of a friendly white moonshiner, when he found him in woods, ferried him across the Mississippi, where he escaped into Arkansas. Holmes told the moonshiner that he was trying to reach his wife on the other side, who was lying at the point of death. The trouble started near Lulu, when Holmes and the principal of our schools attempted to expel a seventeen-year-old mulatto girl, Hattie Morris. At a neighborhood meeting, it had been decided that the conduct of the girl with the son of one of the white planters, Walton White, was of such nature that the parents felt to permit her longer to attend school with their children, was demoralizing and an outrage. The white planter's son was in a rage when he heard that his colored sweetheart had been excluded from the school. He proceeded to the school-house and informed the principal, W. T. Bowman, age 50, that "Hattie was as good as any NIGGER IN THE COMMUNITY." He said he, personally "did not care about any nigger" and that he would see that the girl attended school. That night old man Bowman was taken out and an Anderson, the mob, led by the man Wilson, then moved in search of Holmes; of course, failing to find him. Holmes is married and has four children. Old man Holmes has lived in the neighborhood for many years. He went that evening to see some of the BEST WHITE FOLKS in the neighborhood in an attempt to secure protection, but all refused to assist him. Walter Wilson is known among our people of this section as a mob leader. He and his father are recent arrivals in the community, coming from somewhere up the hills of Mississippi, near Edwards. This Morris-Wilson affair is common in the southland. METHODISTS PUSH EDUCATION NEW YORK CITY.—Enlargement and extension of the facilities in the 18 schools and colleges for Afro-Americans maintained in the South by the Methodist Episcopal Church, together with the receipt of $205,000 out of the Centenary Fund of that nomination, is reported in the current issue of the Christian Advocate. This statement shows that of the $1,075,000 pledged for our education by the Methodist Centenary for a period of five years, at the end of the first year $280,000, over one-fourth the entire sum, has been paid, in spite of the fact that the financial depression has cut down the Centenary collections to 72 per cent of the sum expected. The Methodist Board of Education for Afro-Americans supervises such institutions as Clark University, Atlanta, Ga.; George R. Smith College, Sedalia, Mo.; Wiley College, Marshall, Texas; Samuel Houston College, Austin, Texas; Rust College, Holly Springs, Miss.; Flint-Goodridge Hospital, and Nurse's Training School, New Orleans College and Bennett College, Greensboro, N.C. At practically all of these new buildings or extensions and repairs are either in process or in contemplation. CHARACTER. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For thirty-eight years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader-clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. GUARDING THE COAST. How a Vessel May Be Sunk on Apa preparing Fertilizations The defense of the English coast and harbors of importance is so arranged that the guns control any range at its exact angle. If a hostile ship were passing the news would come in over the telephone from a range-firing station to a little room which might easily be mistaken for a telephone exchange. This room may be in a bomb-proof building a mile or two from the fort. One man, bending over a chart, finds out, by a series of measurements, the exact distance of the vessel to be fired upon. Another, meanwhile, is working at another part of the problem. He knows that there is a wind of, say 20 miles an hour blowing from a certain quarter, and this wind will deflect the shell a certain distance per mile. He also knows the exact height of the tide at the moment—if he forgot to allow for this it would make all the difference between hitting and missing the ship. The speed of the vessel has been given with fair accuracy. Then he knows the exact strength of the powder charge and the velocity at which the shell travels. Making allowances for wind, he can tell exactly when the missile will reach a certain spot; he can also calculate when the ship will reach the spot, so he fits the two calculations together, and works matters so that the shell and the ship both arrive at the identical spot at the identical instant. One man there is in direct telephone communication with the guns. He is given the answer to the problem of how to make the shell and ship meet. He has already given the order for a certain gun or guns in the fort to be loaded, and this has been done. Instantly he snaps over the telephone the exact direction in which the gun is to be pointed, and the angle at which the muzzle is to be elevated. When all is ready he gives the order to fire. A button is pressed, an electric contact is made and the shell is sent on its mission. If everything is worked out correctly the ship is hit. As for the men serving the big guns in the fort, they merely do as they are told. If the men carry out the orders given them, it is no fault of theirs should the shc. ..... mark. It proves that something has occurred which has upset the problem as worked out in the little room. Let us assume that we guns cannot hit the ship, for some reason or another. Even then the ship has to run the gauntlet of the mines with which the harbor mouth is sown. These mines are put down in such a way that they form a sort of draughtboard pattern, with a mine at each corner of the squares. By pressing a key any one of these mines can be exploded. The man in the little room can point to his plan, and, indicating a certain mine, say: "When she gets to that spot I will blow her up!" And he can and will do it. Now, let us assume that for another unknown reason she cannot be touched by one of these mines. She still has to run the gauntlet of the floating mines, which would sink her upon contact, just as the Amphion was sunk. If she escaped these, there is another terror awaiting her. This terror is the Brennan torpedo, which is one of the most ingenious and diabolical missiles ever invented, and for the idea and drawings of which the state paid Louis Brennan £110,000. The ordinary torpedo is terrifying enough, but when once it is fired it must go straight, and if the ship at which it is aimed moves the torpedo misses. With the Brennan torpedo, however, if the ship moves, the torpedo can move it. It can chase its quarry just as the hounds chase a fox. The wonder is worked in this way. Inside the torpedo are two drums. These have wound tightly round them enormous lengths of thin, but strong, wire, and these wires are attached to an engine ashore. There are two propellers on the torpedo, each of which is geared to one of the drums, and when the drums turn the propellers also turn and drive the torpedo drums, just as you might unwind at great speed the wire on these drums, just as you might unwind two reels of cotton, and if both of the wires are unwound at the same speed the torpedo is driven straight. But if the left wire is unwound faster than the right, the left propeller also revolves the faster, and turns the torpedo to the right, and similarly, if the right wire is unwound the faster the torpedo is made to turn to the left. NOVEL AID IN SWIMMING. Apparatus Consists of Oval Track Fastened to Ceiling Over Pool Some of the Cincinnati schools which are provided with bathing pools have adopted a new system of teaching boys to swim. The apparatus consists of an oval track which is fastened to the ceiling above the roof. Twelve trolleys are arranged to run on the track and from each is suspended a rope with a belt attached to it. A pupil fastens the belt about him and then enters the water where he goes through the various movements his instructor suggests. It is impossible to sink and the learners are relieved of all uneasiness so that they can give their attention wholly to learning to swim. The idea is said to have been very successful.

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 broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. 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 have he is advertising his competitors desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may conceive that relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives and friends."—Charles Summer. --- A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right— Not a sacrifice, even though you go down. They count not the cost, who fight the good fight, and unfilming the sheer of the frown. Joseph C. Manning. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very interested by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours—George W. Blount.

The Gazette agrees heartily with Mrs. Grace Willis Thompson, director of the Harmonic Choral Musical club—there is no reason why Cleveland should not also have a big organization of the kind. New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago and other cities, she says, have this city has much of such an organization in the "harmonic" and The Gazette agrees with her in that also. With this in view, Mrs. Thompson asks this paper to tell the public that the "doors of the Harmonic are open for new members" and that the organization "meets at the Phillis Wheatley, every Tuesday evening." Here is an opportunity that many will not let "slip by," we feel sure. The clean-up Cleveland campaign for 1921-begins April 16-23. What will you do to help make Cleveland the cleanest city in the United States? You can kill rats, swat flies, sweep up the rubbish, pick up the papers, mend fences and side walks, wash windows, paint up your buildings, dig up ground for a garden, make up a flower box and report the dirtiest place you know of to the Community Betterment Council, 509 Electric Building, Telephone Main I. And you can think of other things to do to help make Cleveland a more worth working for. Folks keep well in clean cities. The children have better places to play. April 16-23 just begins the clean up campaign! When does it end? The day Cleveland is all cleaned up. What will you do today to help clean up the "Fifth City?" A writer in the N. Y. Negro World calls attention to the fact that Charles Gilpin's play, "Emperor Jones," is very harmful to our people and says that it leaves an impression that the prejudiced South is promoting in various other ways. It is on the grounds that a woman is so far as the impression referred to is concerned. This is certainly to be regretted. If true. Judge Walter I. McCoy of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia recently handed down a decision which says, that in order to segregate white and colored inter-state passengers, public carriers must first file their proposed regulations to that effect with the Interstate Commerce Commission. We have always contended and do still contend that our people can knock out every "jim-crow car law in the South" (as far as they relate to interstate and not intrastate passengers) if they will but take a test case to the U. S. Supreme Court. Part of that more than $25,000 a year that the N. A. A. C. pays to its four or five secretaries would cover the expense of such a case, too. Our advertisers want your trance.

"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 GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, APRIL 9, 1921 A fine compliment was paid to our baseball players by Hugh Fullerton, the well-known writer (white), in a recent article in the Washington (D.C.) Post, entitled "Moral Fitness of Players (white) Overlooked." The interesting meat of his article to us is this statement: "Organized baseball bars Negro players. By doing so it has lost some of the finest athletes the game ever has known, but this color-line is drawn rigidly. Not many years ago one club tried to play a Negro under the representation that he was a Cuban, and he was dropped when the deceit was discovered. He did not sue, representing himself as being deprived of a livelihood, yet his case would have been much clearer than would be one brought by a player dropped for theft or dishonesty. It seems to me that the fear of being sued is extended only to cases of men who are valuable to the teams. Speaking of Negro players, there is one man who is an honor to baseball and to his race. There may be many more, but Rube Foster the head of his Giants, is to my way of thinking one of the great managers and leaders of baseball. He has a team which would rank well with any major league club, and one which has played in more different towns and cities than any club in the world. Rube makes his players understand rules of conduct. "We've got to behave ourselves much better than a white team would," he tells them. "No swearing or rowdywalls goes on this club." He enforces that rule. His teams are hard fighters, but clean white teams. They laugh with the white teams would be with the umpire. They are courteous and good sportsmen. He has taken his club on tour after tour of the South, played before big crowds largely composed of whites, and never has had trouble. And any man who can take a Negro team through the South and win and hold the respect of all classes is a real manager. Besides that, Rube is doing something for his race as well as for baseball, and the conduct of his players both on and off the field is a lesson for many white teams. who was to have managed the Akron International league team, will have in the semi-pro ranks of the Rubber City, this season. Mammer Jim Taylor has been very busy with a squad of about forty men training, this week. The team's process will soon start and he will have to about half that number in another week. Taylor has three men coming from the South who are due to arrive, By Allen Harrison Dorsey. The Tate Stars will open their baseball season at Akron, April 17, when an exhibition game will be played with the team which Ralph Lattimore STATE STAR Open in Akron this week; two from Birmingham and the other from Mobile. Work on the grand stand at Tate field is progressing and there is little doubt of its being finished for the opening game, about May 1. Forty Club Wins A large crowd at the Eighth Reg. armory, Chicago, last week, saw the crack 9th St. "Y" team of Cincinnati which has a fine record of victories, lose to the Forty club in an interesting basket game, 27 to 22. Acmes Lead The Cleveland Acmes are easily leading in the contest for the silver loving cup of the Playhouse settlement, against the opposition of the Tolalons, Swastikas, Argonnes and Keystones. They have won three and lost nary a game in the cup elimination series and, this week, meet the speedy Tokalons in a decisive basket ball game. A. F. Yancey is the "up and doing" manager of the Acmes. At Atlanta, last week, the college ball season started with Morris Brown defeating Atlanta "U" to 8, 6. J. "Bam" Sims, colored national billiard champion, successfully defended his title against Kirby Anderson in Chicago, last week, score 600 to 436. The men played for a pauper in In. In the final, Santa Maria, Cai last week, our K. C. Giants lost to the Portland Beavers, 3 to 2. They beat "Bullet" Rogan with four well-placed buns and a single. The last of February we wrote Mayor W. S. FitzGerald calling his attention to the fact that vile German to loyal Afro-Americans of this propaganda literature, very harmful community, was being distributed through the city and asking him to have it stopped. On March 1, 1921, the mayor wrote us that he was "giving very serious consideration to the suggestions" anent the matter we sent him. Before and since we wrote him the police of Cleveland arrested sons distributing Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent which attacks the Jews. We have been patient but they are not in action or word from Mayor FitzGerald, the "head" of our Republican city administration. This fall, the local Republican organization will be asking the votes of these same loyal Afro-Americans, both men and women, whom they are allowing Germans, aliens, and their local sympathizers to grossly insult and harm with circulars that are generally known to be a batch of lies. Our local ministers must take up this matter now, explain it to their congregations and see to it that it is not forgotten and see to it that it is not forgotten but REMEMBERED, this fall, when the campaign is on. There is but one way to teach some people American make flesh of our Jewish-American to the good Afro-Americans of this community. Such treatment at the hands of the mayor and the local Republican organization simply will not be tolerated by our manly and will residents of Cleveland. If the police can stop the distribution of the scurrilous Dearborn Independent they can be also ordered by Mayor FitzGerald or the Republican organization to stop the distribution of that vile German propaganda literature. Everyone of our local organizations, secret and otherwise, should take up and discuss this matter thoroughly at once. The Real Relief.

Flame Music Not the Only New Discovery—Expert Says Musical Tones Also Have Color. What would you think if you heard a patriotic Irishman ask a musician to play "The Wearing of the Green" in green? Or, at some other time, a blushing man should call for "My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose," in red? Even a Scotchman entreating for "Blue Bells of Scotland," in pale blue? You might be excused for thinking all of them were a little bit daffy, but their sanity could be easily proved—proved beyond a doubt by Albert J. Pyne's latest musical invention which makes colored music with ordinary flames from a gas jet. He does it by placing a long glass tube over the gas flame, then running the gas to a certain height. Striking a tone on a musical instrument, causes the flame to vibrate and reproduce the tones within the tube. Tested with a violin, Mr. Pyne reproduces the same sweet musical tone as the violin. It is a possibility that when the flames are thoroughly masted every one using gas in the home may have his own gas pipe organ. There are infinite possibilities to the discovery made by Pyne. For instance: What a thriving business the "Gas Flame Conservatory of Music" could do? and the man who first inserts the advertisement, "Flame music taught by mail" likely will reap a large reward. Mr. Pyne, a Pennsylvania, does not guarantee to make flames go through all the tone callisthenites known to the musical world, but he does say he can make the flame from an ordinary gas light give out a musical tone as sweet as that of a violin and exceeding the tones of that instrument in volume many times. Also, Mr. Pyne can cause the gas flowing from chandeliers or jets to tango, hesitate and fox trot, merely by striking certain tones on a musical instrument. "Flame music" is not the only thing Mr. Pyne has discovered. He says music actually has color. He does not claim to be the first to have conceived this idea, but he expects to be the first to be able to prove to the world that tone color is a fact. Hence to the other possibilities opened up in the musical world may be added another. How nice for milady, when giving a musicale, to order delicate Nile green music to harmonize with her gown. Or, if her drawing room or music room be done in old rose, how comforting and restful to have all the music of a like tint. Mr. Pyne says he expects that within a short time it will be proved, even to the satisfaction of the laymen, that the color of certain tones may be seen with the naked eye. But that is a thing of the future, the flame music is a thing of the present. Flame music, according to Mr. Pyne, is made by placing a long glass tube over the gas flame, then running the gas to a certain height. When it attains the desired height he strikes a tone on a musical instrument, which causes the flame to vibrate and sing within the glass tube. He declares he has caused the flame to sing with such volume as to be heard throughout the entire building in which he lives. Mr. Pyne declares he will not seek to patent his invention, as he wants others to use it and improve upon it. Mr. Pyne is an auditor in the offices of the Westinghouse Electric Co. at East Pittsburgh. He declares his musical genius is mostly acquired. He has invented more than a dozen musical instruments of unique design and also has several compositions to his credit. He plays all of the instruments of his own make. Mr. Pyne has invented a metallic harp, which is operated with heavy gloves, the player rubbing the strings of metal, instead of striking them. He has invented stringing bells which he calls Parsifal bells, and a guitar of twelve strings. He has invented a series of electric bells, a xylophone of some four octaves, composed of thirty-two blocks of wood only; a metalphone, musical glasses, numbering thirty-seven, of a different type of operation from any others in use, he having tested more than 11,000 glasses of special make to get his thirty-seven; a number of tap bells, musical sleigh-bells, cathedral chimes, an auto-harp and a number of other novelties. Mrs. Pyne, an accomplished pianist, has alided her husband in the development of his musical novelties. The smallest cows in the world are found in the Samoan Islands. The average weight does not exceed 150 pounds, while the bulls weigh about 200 pounds. They are about the size of a Merino sheep. Some Facts You May Not Know. Among the rare specimens not open to public inspection in the Harvard zoological museum is what is asserted to be the largest frog in the world. It weighs about six pounds, is 27 inches long from tip to toe and of a slaty black color. Its web feet are equal in size to those of a large swan. Only three of its kind have ever reached the United States. COVERING OVER KITCHEN FLOOR WILL REDUCE SCRUBBING WORK THE KITCHEN Unfinished Floors Require Much Work to Keep in Good Condition. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) silient material. The special paper on the market make cop What is the best material for the kitchen floor, the most practical finish, and the most satisfactory covering are questions much discussed. All housewives agree, however, that the unfinished wooden floor is hard to clean, and painting, oiling or covering it with some washable material saves much labor, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. An unfinished wood floor requires frequent scrubbings, which no matter how thorough, cannot remove spots and stains from some kinds of wood and cause the surface of others to silver and become rough. Maple Widely Used. Maple is one of the woods most used for kitchen floors. It is smooth and very durable, and when oiled is proof against grease and water stain. Longleaf Georgia pine and Douglas fir or red spruce are other desirable kinds, and may be painted or oiled. Any kind of wooden flooring should be well seasoned before it is laid to lessen the shrinking and swelling due to changes in temperature and atmospheric conditions. Any cracks in the floor should be filled with putty, or better, with one of the special preparations for the purpose. There are a variety of concrete and so-called "compostion" floor materials now on the market which are advertised for kitchens. They are often easy to clean and do not absorb grease and water when new. Some of them, however, tend to crack and chip with wear, and then are difficult to Keep in order. Some are also rather hard and fatiguing to stand on, though this drawback can be overcome somewhat by using mats of rubber, cork, or some re STYLISH AND PRACTICAL S In measuring the most valuable attributes of any garment, feminine judgment is apt to think at least as highly of style as of utility. If one or the other must be sacrificed—it is not style, and it is a happy circumstance when both are found artfully combined. This is the case with the handsome utility coat shown in the picture. It is long and full, with dolem sleeves and deep yoke that suggests a cape. The collar is ample and may be buttoned up about the throat. The material is a soft but looseiy woven pile fabric, light in weight, but cozy, and style of this coat places it in the distinguished class where there are few that are so practical. MAKE SAVORY FRUIT PASTES Combination of Different Kinds of Fruits is Excellent—Garned Goods Can Be Used. Fruit pastes are made from the edible portion of fruit which after cooking has been passed through a sieve and cooked again until the excess water is driven off. Only a small amount of sugar is required. A combination of different kinds of fruit pulp makes a delightfully flavored paste, but peaches alone make a delicious one. Canned fruit can also be used to make paste. When the pulp is boiled down until very thick, pour it in 1/2-inch layers on marble or glass slabs on or a platter. Place where there is a strong circulation of air and allow the paste to dry for two or three days. When it is sufficiently dry, cut it into 1-inch squares. Roll in granulated sugar and place again in a draft. D paste may be packed in tin boxes, glass jars, or paraffin-coated containers. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, APRIL 9, 1921 silent material. The special paints now on the market make concrete floors easier to care for, less dusty, and more durable. Linoleum is a very satisfactory covering for the kitchen floor. It is relatively durable, comfortable for the feet, and easy to clean. It is manufactured in a variety of colors, designs and qualities; the better grades will be found most economical in the long run. Varnishing or waxing linoleum is said to protect the surface and makes it wear longer. Floor oilcloth is cheap and easily cleaned, but wears out quickly. Floor coverings, such as carpets and mattings, which hold dust and dirt, are unsuited to the kitchen, says a revised edition of Farmers' Bulletin No. 607, "The Farm Kitchen as a Workshop," issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. Constant Scrubbing Injuries. Whatever the material of the kitchen floor, or the covering used on it, constant scrubbing and the excessive use of soap and water will injure the surface. Care should be taken, therefore, not to drop food on the floor. Spreading paper where food is likely to be dropped or grease to be spattered will save labor in the end. A soft brush or dust mop will keep a floor in better condition than a broom, and make mopping less frequently necessary. A dish mop of hotel size, kept in a convenient place and used to remove drops of water or other liquids accidentally spilled, will save frequent scrubbing of the entire floor, and when dampened and wrung nearly dry can be used to remove spots or dust. If so used it will often prevent dirt from being carried from one part of the room to another. All Around the House Pulled bread should snap when broken. To make a new broom last, soak in salt water before using. Broiling and roasting are the preferred methods for cooking tender meats. A teaspoonful of turpentine added to each boilerful of clothes will make them white. Polished floors should be rubbed with a mixture of one-third linseed oil and two-thirds paraffin. Pour hot tomato sauce over fried mush, sprinkle with cheese and put into a hot oven for 10 minutes. * * * * To clean a bathtub thoroughly, dip a piece of fennel in turpentine and go over the enamel. This will remove all stains. * * * * Paint stains, no matter how hard and dry, can be easily removed by using equal parts of turpentine and ammonia. * * * * Keep empty spools and slip them over the nails in the hookless closet. They are a great protection to the clothes. Household Questions Prunes are richer and more nourishing cooked in the oven. A teaspoonful of baking powder will make fudge more creamy. One of the nicest ways to cook onions, from every point of view, is to bake them in the skin. A good aluminum polish is a mixture of borax, ammonia, and water. Apply with a soft brush. To bake potatoes quickly, let them stand in boiling water for a few minutes before putting them in the oven. our Copy of acquaintance THE KITCHEN CABINET (© 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) The time is coming when no young person of either sex will be considered well educated, who is not conversant with the composition of foodstuffs, and their uses in the body, and who does not know why cleanliness is ranked next to godliness. An elementary training in the principles of food and dietetics is in quite important skill in the use of the multiplication table, and both should be taught at the same age. The girl whose school days end with the grammar grade has not been started in life properly unless she can classify all the food products found in the market, and get good results on her cookstove-American Cooking Magazine. GOOD THINGS FOR OCCASIONS. The following are a few dishes which may be enjoyed for special days: Tomato and Pineapple Salad —Remove the skins from hot house tomatoes, scoop out the centers, chill, fill Tomato and Pineapple Salad. -Remove the skins from hot- house tomatoes, scout out the centers, fill with small cubes of fresh or canned pineapple; if the fresh is used, sweeten slightly. Set a spoonful of mayonnaise, mixed with one-quarter its bulk of whipped cream, above the fruit. **Chicken Custard.**—Beat the yolks of four eggs until thick and stiff; add a little salt, and beat into one cupful of cream. Heat a cupful of strong, well-seasoned chicken stock in a saucepan; add the beaten eggs and cream and cook with care, stirring until the custard coats the spoon. Serve cold in small custard cups with a garnish of watercress. **Date Loaf Cake.**—Cream one-half cupful of butter with one cupful of brown sugar; add two well-beaten eggs and two cupfuls of flour, sifted with one-half teaspoonful added alternately with one-half cupful of likewarm water, in which one teaspoonful of soda has been dissolved. Lastly stir in one of dates, stoned and chopped, with one cupful of nuts, chopped, one teaspoonful of vanilla extract. Bake in a greased and floured pan in a slow oven. Virginia Ham, Bolled.—Wash and scrub the ham thoroughly; to soak 30 hours in cold water to cover; remove from the water and rinse; place on the stove in a kettle of cold fresh water. Bring slowly to the boiling point and let simmer for five hours. Remove from the kettle and take off the skin while hot. HANDY CURTAIN STRETCHERS Devices Soon Pay for Themselves in Saving Worker's Time and Wear and Tear on Curtains. Curtain stretches do not cost much, and soon pay for themselves in saving the worker's time and wear and tear on the curtains. Also, most kinds of curtains hang better if stretched into shape rather than ironed. In buying curtain stretchers it is worth while to pay a little more for a good, rigid kind that can also be used for drying blankets. Blankets dried on a stretcher keep their shape. The pins in a curtain stretcher may be movable so as to fit all the scallops of a curtain, but stationary pins are more satisfactory and substantial. Instead of having pins on the stretcher, many housewives wrap up the frame with heavy ticking or tape and pin the curtains or blankets to their pieces. Some frames are tied together at the corners with strips of tape or muslin, but clamps cost very little and are much more convenient. YOUTH MEETS SPRING When youth and springtime meet in the mind of the designer of millinery we are presented with such conceptions as those in the group of hats shown above. One of the new shiny fabrics makes the draped turban with its audacious drooping bow at the right side. Knite-plaited ribbon is responsible for the cheerful hat in rose color that looks as if it might be made of sea shells at the right. The odd and dashing shape at the left has a satin brim and fancy braid crown with a cluster that comprises fruits, flowers and foliage posed against it. The wide-brimmed braid hat boasts of lovely lines not interfered with by a rosette and ends of satin ribbon posed at the side. These are only four among the myriads of hats made to grace the heads of young women, but from them may be gathered something of the vivacity and the general brightness of new shapes and materials for spring. Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defin ed. 6279.

(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 dispense 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 Hom. 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—(in the statutes) under the heading obs 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 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 to the person aggrieved thereby. Whoever is arrested 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 outery 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 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. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Fife and the Judge in the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Durham 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. "Don't forget," said the fair defendant's lawyer, "that when I give you the signal you begin crying." "I won't forget." "And if you can contrive to smile through your tears our case will be as good as won." Husband (angrily)—What! no super ready? This is the limit! I'm going to a restaurant. Wife—Wait just five minutes. Husband—Will it be ready then? Wife—No, but then I'll go with you. TOBACCO OR SNUFF HABIT CUREDI BY A HAKMLESS KEMEDY. Guaranteed. Sent on trial.
