Williams of murder and ponage. He is no virtue however, in this nefarious business. Thousands of white farmers in the South are guilty of ponage and agony may be guilty of murder. Georgia should "clean up" itself. The way to do it, is to enforce the law. The easy way of convicting our people and sending them to prison in that section of the country, to be hired out lies at the bottom of this ponage craze. The general practice there of not allowing a member of the race to disguise the word of a white man has also contributed to the success of ponage. The state of Georgia should not hire on its convicts but should device ways whereby they could help to sustain the state by their labor, under fair and just treatment. Georgia should make it impossible for any man or set of men to do what John S. Williams has done. The recommending of Williams for mercy is in dire contrast to his sense of mercy toward the victims be so brutally toward the victims who country breathes with a degree of satisfaction as a result of his conviction. The whole miserable southern system should be overbearanced and every citizen be given a square seat, as was one by Williams was all of it even this would be bad enough, but in addition to this our people there are kept in moral fear and their lives are hardly worth being lived in many incursions because, they feel despair faces them at every turn. The cheapness at which their lives are rated makes them cover at almost anything. They work the forms of the South, are cheated out of what they make too often and are encouraged to be improvident. Then their improvidence is heralded everywhere and this enables white men to roam them and keep them poor white the public believes them naturally wasteful and improvident. There should be a same method adopted whereby every man should reap the reward of his laborors and not be subject to the selfishness and caprice of bad white men. Clean up the whole mess, since a good beginning, has been made. President Harding's denunciation of lynching and endorsement of the suggestion that the Congress create a commission, composed of members of both races, to study and report on the great evil. America's festerious sore, are timely and give general satisfaction to a people that have just been horrified with those fourteen Georgia plantation lynch-murders. Since the Congress is powerless to enact a law against lynching that would be constitutional, owing to a decision of the U. S. Supreme Court many years ago, which gave to the several states only the power to legislate against mob violence and lynching, about the best and only thing that can be done by the Cogress is to create the Commission referred to. The Gazette, like the great mass of people of this country, is tremendously pleased with the President's splendid message to the Congress. We have "the right man in the right place" at last, thank the Lord! "Windy City" Notes (Special to the Gazette) CHICAGO, Ill.—Saturday evening, M. Y. C. A. members presented their eighth annual demonstration of physical activities. The members that proved best were: Gymnastics—by high school boys; mass games—by younger boys and the class in self-defense—by seniors. The last number on the program was very interesting. The Chicago Urban League is holding a series of meetings to secure $30,000, $10,000 from the race. The league is furnishing 300 meals a day for unemployed. The Abruham Lincoln Center re-faced a program, Sunday, and Prof. Wm. Pickens spoke. He said there is only one of every ten persons that thinks and the rest of us do not think at all. All crimes, discrimination, injustice and unfairness can be traced to greedy somebody. In thirty years there were 2600 colored lynched and 700 white. A. R. Gillespie. BISHOP CHARLES S. SMITH Of the Great A. M. E. Church Issues a Challenge to Marcus Garvey Propaganda. The initial statement in the article of Mr. Rollio Lynde Hartt, under the caption of "The Negro Moses," pub- lished in the Independent (New york). February 26, 1921, is a bane fabrication and wholly misleading. The statement to which I refer follows: "Fifteen pioneers of African Independence—Negro surveyors, Negro architects, Negro builders, Negro chemists, Negro physicians—sailed recently from New York about Black Star Linen owned and operated by Negroes." "The law if this statement I challenge in a concrete manner, namely, I will denote a five hundred dollar 8 per cent bond of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Poyer and Light Company, dated November 1, 1920, and the November 1, 1920, with all coupons attached to the Nurse Training Department of the Lincoln Hospital, New York City, if any of the Survey propaganda will induce assimilation contest that "civil pioneers of African Independence, including surveyors, architects, etc., within the last three years, on a steamer of the 'Black Star Linen,' sailed from the port of New York, or any other port of the United States, nor the palacile of Liberia, West Coast of Africa." The evidence required is: (a) the names and home addresses of said "civil pioneers of African Independence." (b) the name of the ship on which they sailed. (c) the name of the port from which they sailed. ( c ) the date of their sailing. ( c ) an authenticated copy of the contract entered into between them and the Universal Nigro Improvement association to proceed to initiate to follow their several vocational duties, proper work for said Association. The time for daily trip is past. The station has grown serious. For a few years in the old representation in the city of Marcos Garvey and his captainship. Because two speakers before the League of Women Voters' convention in Cleveland asked the organization to take a stand for the enfranchisement of the colored women of the South, the Cattaneora Times deferred the organization as a trouble maker seeking "interference by the federal government in the electoral affairs of the state." "Interference" of this kind goes back a good many years. The federal constitution bears a plentiful evidence of it. By that constitution the colored women of the South are entitled to vote. But if they are prevented from voting, the "interference" is on the other side, chargeable to those who prevent their voting. The League of Women Voters represents the entire country, South as well as North; it speaks for colored women as well as white. In spite of our Chattanooga friends, it seems to us that the franchise of southern women is a proper subject for the Cleveland convention to consider. In contrast with the attitude of tag Times, it may be noted that the Atlanta Constitution on the same day—which was also the day that President Harding suggested the propriety of federal action against that of lynching—declared that unless the state puts "end to mob violence and lynch law, it is as certain as the rising of tomorrow's sun that sooner or later the federal government will intervene and stop it for us." As the Constitution says, "it is too much for Georgia to expect the federal government to keep hands off a condition, which is bound to bring America into reproach throughout the world." It is first up to the southern states in both cases. The federal government does not hanker for the job either of securing the franchise to southern women or of suppressing lynching by direct methods. If it acts it will be because the South fails to act. Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE ERWIN AND CONNELL PLANTATION ALMOST AS BAD AS WILLIAMS'-MEXICANS HELD IN PEONAGE IN TEXAS ATLANTA, Ga.—Another case of peonage similar in character to the Williams murder farm, near Covington is being tried in the U. S. District Court here. It involves Willem Cornell, prominent white Pike county farmer, charged with violation of the federal peonage laws. It is charged by the government that Cornell illegally swore out a warrant for Cornellius Alexander, a farm hand, whose body was found in Flint river shortly after he had been bailed out of jail and sent to Cornellius farm to work out his fine. Cornell contended that Alexander stole a pistol from him, and that he ordered his arrest on a charge of theft. Mrs. Ollie Alexander, wife of the deceased, told of the manner in which her husband left the Cornell plantation, defeating every arrangement set forth by counsel for the defense. The Cornell farm is located in Pike county, just one mile distant from that of Franklin Huff (white), the plaster who recently served eighteen months in the federal penitentiary, for peonage. Huff and Cornell were sold to be very friendly and often visited one another. A notable array of legal talent appears in the case. Reuben Arnold of Atlanta, Judge J. J. Fliyt and Lloyd Cleveland of Griffin, Ga., are representing Cornell, while the government's case is being handled by U. S. District Attorney Hooper Alexander. That Georgia is rotten with the mongoose system was brought out by investigation conducted by federal arrests working under directions of District Attorney Alexander. Complaints were filed by Grover White and Walter Martin, farm hands, against Tom Erwin (white), overseer for the late millionaire planter, Jim Smith, who charged that slavery existed on Erwin's farm. Martin told the district attorney that for eight years he had been working for Erwin and had never received a cent as compensation, being only fed and clothed. He said that on three occasions he had effected his escape from the Erwin plantation, but had been recaptured after getting but a few miles away and subjected to brutal ferrying. White said that he had been on the Erwin place for three years, and that when he once ran away, he, too, was mistaken, returned to the farm and was taken. He said they directed him to Atlanta in the hope or receiving federal protection, which has been learned that Jesse Villanueva and Lather Greene of Trump county and Alford Gross of Heard county, all white plantation owners, are under federal indictment for attempting to force Jesse Allen, a farm to remain on a plantation belonging to one of the defendants by wrapping him with trace chains and leaving him in the face with a board. Already! Indicated! Details of the case in the Connell trial were told by Cap Churn and Philip Moore, farm hands. Testimony was also given by department of justice men who had investigated the case. Connell is trying to gain his liberty on the ground that Alexander stole a pistol from him and that he caused his arrest on that ground. About the death of the farm hand Connell says he knows nothing. Many who are familiar with customs in the South referred to the times when the exodus occurred. It was the work of southern planters, who used sheriffs to advantage, to frame up charges on farm hands, and have them brought back to the state for trial. In some instances men charged with stealing ham sawniches were brought from northern states, tried in country courthouses by judges who had interest in farm lands and sentenced to serve one year. The U. S. department of labor discovered this practice and called it to the attention of the department of justice. It was originally designed in Mississippi, where men were forced to work under a rule known as "can't to can't." When interpreted this meant from 4 a. m. to 9 p. m. as working hours. Farmers who thrive by the peonage system are said to be securely entrenched. They are often friends of sheriffs who are said to reap a harvest by ignoring existing conditions and law violations. The Williams case at Covington has brought out this fact. The amazing aspect of the situation is that the white newspapers of the state severely criticized District Attorney Alexander when he first made public the rotten condition of peonage in Georgia. Editorial attacks were made against him. Part of a statement of the U. S. district attorney made here recently. IN UNION IT IS STRENGTH GLE COPY FIVE CENTS nage! TIMS FOUND! Trace Chains Boards ELL PLANTATION ALMOST AS S—MEXICANS HELD IN GE IN TEXAS and published in The Gazette, several weeks ago, as follows: Attack Respectable Farmers "Five Nefiroes, all apparently well behaved and industrious farmers, each working his own little farm, within thirty miles of Atlanta, have been warned by night riders to leave the neighborhood. They came to appeal to me for protection. I can, of course, do nothing. There is no violation of the federal laws in what is threatened. The circumstances of the case and matters which have heigetofore 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 these people 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. The offense is against the laws of the state. I cannot meddle in it. But I love my state and I am humiliated. The people of Georgia have no conception of the cruelty with which helpss Negroes are being treated. I wish I could make the state to see and know the things that are being done, and which come to my knowledge almost daily. In the name of a just and righteous God I solemnly protest before the people of Georgia." Mexicans, Peonage Victims DALLAS, Tex—Charges that Mexican laborers were found in chains in West Texas ranch houses are among allegations of Mexican peonage under investigation by the Department of Justice, Forest M. Spencer, chief federal investigator, has announced. He said more than 20 Mexican laborers were being held involuntarily for labor purposes near Big Springs. They will be severely punished if they Abilone this week. Spencer said he had information that Mexicans employed by wealthy families of West Texas are being made to believe they will be severely punished if they leave their jobs. Can Provide Laws Against Mobi Violence and Lynching—Another Good Anti-Lynching Law. CHARLESTON, W. Va.—Subjecting the county to a penalty of $5000 for the benefit of the family of the person lynched like the Ohio law, and making participation in a mob a felony punishable with death, both houses of the West Virginia legislature have approved the anti-lynching bill, introduced by the Hon. H. J. Capehart, our member of the House of Delegates from McDowell county. In the fight to put the measure through, Mr. Capehart had the active support of the Hon. T. G. Nutter, our Kanawha County delegate, and the legislative committee of our West Virginia State League, of which T. Edward Hill of Keystone, is president, and J. C. Gilmer, of Charleston, secretary. Others of the race, all over the state, assisted with petitions, while members of the state administration and other influential citizens among the whites, both men and women, contributed much to the passage of the bill. Other legislation, of particular benefit to the race, has been enacted or is pending with every prospect of favorable action. Bills creating an industrial school for our boys and industrial home for our girls, introduced by delegate Nutter, will have become laws before this gets into print, as is true of the measure establishing a bureau of "Negro" welfare and statistics. The proposal to segregate our passengers on railroads, disguised by its democratic author under the deceptive title of "A bill to provide for the comfort of passengers," was before the committee just long enough to pass a motion indefinitely postponing its consideration. The full crew bill, designed to dispense with the services of our railway porters, met a similar fate. Wins Over 900 Others. CHICAGO, Ill.-King D.

The chief trouble-makers today are not the foreigners who are trying to run American affairs but the Amer- icang who are trying to run our for- eign affairs. Sper sere ‘The man, who claimed to be a cous- in of President Harding, was prob- ably only a first cousin to the news- paper men who are always claiming to know what the President intends doing on the league of nations ques- tion. few eee ee! If the German government has a million or s0 to spend in America on its outrageous propaganda literature it has money to pay France, it has promised to pay, and ought to be made to pay by the Allies. Every one of those women in the government's register of the treasury department, who signed that petition against the appointment of an Afro ‘American as the head of the depart- ment, ought to be “let out,” Mr. ‘President. It is a gross insult to more than ten million loyal Americans that ‘ought to be answered in that way and that way only. ii Peonage is rampant in nearly all of the South, ‘The recent exposures in Georgia, Tennessee and Texas prove this, And we have just the kind of government, at last, this country has needed so badly for at least eight years to handle this question prop- erly. Watch and see the Harding aa ministration “clean up” (not only peonage) in that benighted section of the country. , lll MINISTERS AND “RACE ORGAN- IZATIONS” ‘The American Legion of Cuyahoga county will fie its heaviest gun in the fight against the German propa- ganda campaign which developed about the billeting of French Negro soldiers in the Rhine zone, at a mass meeting during the second week of May, Arrangements for the meeting are incomplete, officers of the Legion being unable as yet to obtain an au- ditorium large enough for the pur- pose. One of the principal speakers will be National Commander Gal- braith, of Indianapolis, Other men prominent in military and legion af- fairs and city_and state officials are scheduled to appear. Though our peo- ple are the ones most harmed by the distribution of the German propagan- da literature, and we all know and recognize this fact, The Gazette has been unable, to date, to enlist our two local ministers’ unions and sev- eral “race organizations” in the ef- fort to have the mayor stop the dis- tribution of the maliciously, lying German propaganda literature. HE CAN STOP IT—IF HE WANTS TO! ‘This, too, in. the face of the recent court decision anent the distribution of Henry Ford's paper, the Dearborn Independent. ‘The Ford-Independent case ip not & parallel one to oure, by any ineans, Whether Sf prove to be the ease or not, the failure of our local ministers’ unions and other so- called race organizations to manifest ‘even a little interest in the matter is characteristic and reprehensible an the extreme, It is one prime reason the race is making so little progress in this community in contending for its rights, ete, these days. Tuesday morning, our ministers could gather ‘at Lane Metropolitan church for the | purpose of considering a ward polit- | ical matter they had better let alone, “for the good’and welfare” of then.- selves and the churches they repre-, sent. Meantime, our local “race or- ganizations” seem so fast asleep at ‘apparently only Gabriel’s horn could awaken them to the activity along ra- ‘cial Jines they should weeks ago have ‘exhibited in opposing the continued distribution of that miserable German propaganda literature, —ii—— “WHITE SUPREMACY” AND PEONAGE. Persons who have kept up with the poliey of the South toward our peo- ple are not surprised at the revela- tions in Jasper County, Georgia. What has been revealed there may be found in many counties in southern states, generally. Peonage is a part of a system whose main protection is “white supremacy.” Among the things that maintain this system is the refusal of the courts to allow a member of the race to dispute the word of a white man. No charge brought by an Afro-American against a white man has any standing in the courts of the South. Our people there know this, Hence, they do not and dare not attempt to bring the fact of their suffering from peonage to the attention of the federal officials in the states. Men who are elected to office in the South have the under- standing that white farmers can have Afro-American “eriminals” to work their farms and that no law will be enacted to prevent them from doing what they desire to the “criminals.” It is the duty of constables to arrest a member of the race for the most trivial offense and take him or her be- fore a magistrate who immediately sentences them to prison and then off they go to a peonage farm The courts of the South are responsible for the condition of affairs as revealed in Jasper County, The farmer, Wil- liams, and his boys are no worse than ‘many other farmers around him (as he says) and in fact all over the South ‘The poor victims do not keep books, that they may be able to say what they owe and-what they do not owe when they pay bills at the general supply store kept by large farm-own- ers. If one should dispute the books of the white farmer he would be kick- ed out of the store or killed just as the farmer and his help saw fit. Any member of the race in the community ‘hat urges our people there to keep their own accounts, will be driven out of the community. Every governor of every southern state knows that this state of affairs is fostering peon- age (slavery) which ends in murder. How many of our people are now aleeping the long sleep that knows no evabeaiie: because of their opposition so peonage and “The System,” no one kmows. There are many aids to southern white farmers, like Wil- iams’ man, who kill off any member of their race that their boss marks for death, If the truth were known, lississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Ar- ‘kansas and South Carolina are in the same miserable peonage condition that Georgia is in, “White supre- macy” means that our people must depend upon’ the will of white people for their lives, what they get to eat ‘and for their privilege of living any- where in that section. The white South has completely robbed the race of any power'to change any condition there, and it is a fixed policy in that section :that our people and their children must acknowledge that they ‘are “inferior” to white folks. Any white child of tender years may do what it pleases to a colored child of like years and if the latter resents it, white men go and get the colored child, whip it and make it feel that thist is “a white man’s country.” | If parents resent this, they are killed or driven out, Peonage will not go, in ‘all of its hideous forms, until “white supremacy” as a policy, like slavery, be exterminated. “White supremacy” destroys the franchise of Afro-Amer- cans and renders them helpless to protect themselves. “WHITE SUPRE- MACY” IS “WHITE MOB RULE!” The officers of every southern state are elected by this mob rule, The of- ficers elected have an understanding tocarry out the “system.” The right- eosu sentiment of America must de- stroy “white supremacy” in the South ‘as it destroyed slavery. In many way’ it is more iniquitous than slavery. Under slavery the slave had the pro- tection of his master but under “white supremacy” he has no protection whatever. Let us wait until Georgia acts and then it is the duty of all ‘good citizens to inaugurate a policy that will exterminate the evil that makes it bow its head in shame be- cause of Jasper County's wholesale lynch-murders. York, S. C—Born a “slave” ‘and unable ‘to read and write, William Hopkins, who died here, recently, left a fortune of $15,000. He made prac- tically all of it chopping wood for his neighbors, Many prominent citizens of both races attended his funeral.

Data have been contributed not only by its staff of ornitholowisis, but by more than 2,000 cooperating individual observers in North ard South America and the West Indies, Altogether more than 500,000 obser vations are represented in the data in the hands of the survey. Migration, the survey has develop: ed, is not merely a matter of north and south movement, with a given degree of temperature. The widect differences as to migratory hatits prevail among the feathered tzhubi- tents and sojourners of the United States and Canada. At the extrente are such birds as the quail, that live and die without going ten miles from their hatching place, and at the other the arctic terns, that spend the northern summers near the nortt pole and other months of the year in the fey rezions of the anarctic, 11,- 000 miles away. Some birds that nest in the rorth- ern part of the United States and ‘Canada are content to spend their winters in the gulf states, but more than a hundred species go to Cen- tral and Sonth America for the winter season The routes of the various birds to thelr winter feeding grounds vary widely, but by far the majority of the migrants avoid the land trip thronet: ‘Texas and the modified land trip by way of Cuba and the Lesser Antities, and strike boldly across ihe 500 to 700-:mile expanse of the Gulf of Mext co, This water flight is made In a si- gle night even by the diminutive hum: ming bird, ‘The wintering places of many of the migrants’ have been determined, as have their routes of flight. Some Kinds of birds are not content with their trip ‘to Mexico or northern South America, but continue thvir filghts beyond the equator to the Pampas of Argentina, Some of the best known birds that nest in North America make these jong wintez journeys. The scarlet tanager mi- grates from Canada to Peru, The New England bobolinks winter in Tra- zil, and with them go such common birds as cliff swallows, nishthawks and some thrushes. Blackpoll_ war- Dlers that nest th Alaska migrate 5,000 miles to the southern coast of the Carribean sea, The recor ni ration for land binds s probably eld by the nighthawk, whose nortfern most representatives frequent Alaska during the nesting season and fly at the approach of winter as far sou'l as Fatagonio, more than 8,000 miles Pp Ridlieegs PAWN ANIMALS NOW. an Among the curious industries or watchdog to the animal pawnehop.

Brunler System of Submerged Firing Is New Method. ‘The Brunler system of submerged firing constitutes a remarkable meth- od of producing steam. ‘The usual method—that is, conveying the heat to the water through the walls of the boiler—ts wasteful both of beat and material, It the Brunler system a high pres- sure gas jet Is ignited under the sur- face of the water in a steam genera: tor of cast steel, and a cast iron boiler receives the liquid, the steam and the gaseous products of combustion. ‘The fuel is coal tar oil.

DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY “Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that falth let us to the end dare to do our duty as we under- stand 1t."—Abraham Lincoln. Fo eR ar neice Pe i oO MOST DANGEROUS SPORT IN HISTORY Baseball ts the most danserows fame known to. history. When it comes {o mortality lists, baseball Teaves football a lap behind in « sixfurlong race an a mile track. Sta tisticians have figured it out that it is 430 times as destructive to human life as a Mexican revolution, and sl- most as deadly as Mexican chile. An- nually it kills off so many aunts, un: eles and grandparents that thinking people wonder how the undertakers ean stand the steady work, Fur ex: ample, in the course of one thrilling Pennant race, our offiee boy lost sev- en grandparents. For all that, we love baseball. Even in spite of the grand stand humorist, we love it. It is our national gaine. We say that, since this country was te give us baseball, our revolutionary sires did not bleed and die in vain, Men have much reason to love bise- tall. It gives them the chance to xd mire skill, speed, strength, nerve, courage and determination, and te learn the latest slang and most pep fal repartee. It gives them the chanes to boldly abuse and insult other men without fear of consequences ant to exhibit thetr wit before large erow?s, 1 gives them the chance to set up real heroes and bow down to ther Statesmen are corrupt, generals fieht from their tents, literary lions are pale, weak bodies. But baseball he- roes are real heroes. And it—-buse- ball—also gives men the opportunity to be as loud and silly and jovousi: unrepressed as they want to be, with out being laughed at. Young women like baseball, too, and some of them understand it re- markably well, Some of them are ‘said to know the difference between ‘the piteher and the umpire. There ts a legend that once there was a voune woman who could watch a whole ieee pineal exe aps they doing now?" and tell which sive won at the end. But that is believed to have been written by Grimm. Young women do not care so much for baseball if they have to buy their own tickets. But if you suggest tals ing one, she just dotes on the game. A woman always gets some enor: [ment out of seeing her escort spend money for her, no, matter what it is for. It ts not! always wise to take a young woman, to the ball game, no -maiter how she dotes on it, Ste may not notice the difference when they stop batting up flies and begin the game. She may think the piteber and catcher are playing against each other, and complain because one of them does not quit and give that cute fellow with such a jaunty air a turn She may mistake the catcher’s breast protector for a porous plaster. Tut she will notico, with an eversrowins admiration, the grace, stireness and swiftness of the well conditioned men on the field.

We now have what is culled “radio scopic surgery.” Apparatus devised -especially for this by Dr. Wullyemoz Includes a table, a Muroscope and sur- gical instruments such as_ pincers, forceps, needles and curettes—all hav- ing the peculiarity that they are bent ‘at right angles. The surgeon utilizes the X-rayg dur ing the operation, seeing the boily «s a translucent substance. He can.nvz, however, use surgical instruments uf the usual fozm, since their shadows ‘would mask, during the operation, that of the foreign body that he wishes to reach. So. Dr, Wullyamoz has adopi- ed the curious device of bending them at right angles. Thanks to this pect: liarity, the operator directs his sce] pel or forceps with precision, It Is sufficient, after having centered the bulb and ascertained by two radic- scopic examinations at tight angles, the exact position of the bullet, to piace the patient in such an attitude | that the shadow of the bullet or fras- ment of shell coincides with that of his probe. Then he cuts the skin at ‘the point so determined, places his forceps in the incision, causing the “shadow of its end to fall on that of “the bullet and thrusts it in vertically, “When the foreeps touch the foreign body he opens them and grasps it. Extraction is accomplished in this “way with Breat rapidity and certain ty, with a bullet of any kind whet: ever inless than a minute and without injury to the surrounding tissues. ‘To clean a bathtub thoroughly, dip plece of flannel in turpentine and go over the enamel, ‘This will remove all stains. é ote Paint stains, no wfitter how hard and dry, can ‘be easily removed by using equal parts of turpentine and ammonia. % ‘TO OUR PATRONS.

Van Zandt of North Euclid.ay, St. Louis, Mo, exponent of the pen knife in art, has just completed bis latest work, a complete model of a fourteen-room residence, which is a remarkable demonstration of what can be accomplished with an ordinary knife, Van Zandt, who is 62 years old and a retired mechanical engineer, was confined to his home with bronchitis, Work with his pocketknife has been his hobby since boyhood, and when he found that he was to be shut in he made a workshop of his sickroom, His workshop requires little space. It is composed of a biscuit board, which he uses as his bench; a sharp pocketknife and a pot of glue. Cigar boxes are his material. ‘The model of the home Is 4 inchos tall, 4 inches wide and 61-2 inches long and weights, exclusive of the base, ex- ectly three ounces. It required 115 days’ labor and seven cigar boxes were used in Its construction. ‘The model also includes a garage and, shelter shed in the rear and a private playground. ‘The “estate” is surrounded by a fence, made to repre- sent cobblestones imbedded in :o- ‘ment. ‘The modet is complete in every de- tail, even to doorknobs and hinges. ‘There are 8,000 separate pieces of wood used In its construction. There are thirty-two windows and nine doors in the house. In the windows each sash is separate and each is fitted with glass, The upper sashes have shades. The doors are paneled. There is an outside breakfast-room with-a tile floor. Tile also is shown in the vestibule at the front entrance, and the front door is fitted with dec- orative hinges and a fancy lock, In the rear are doors leading to the ccl- lar and there is a coal chute to the furnace room. The garage, which ad- foins the playground in the rear, also is comptete, and there 1s a shelter shed adjoining it. A brick ash pit 1s near the garage. ‘A gravel road leads from the gar age outside the grounds, and the gar ze may only bo entered throush an ‘ornamental fron gate. ‘The fence sur rounding the grounds Is a work of art ‘There Is a base of white wood, repre- senting a cut-stone base, with cement and cobblestones above. It is str mounted with a cut-stone coping, ard at short intervals there are decorative eut-stone posts with faney caps. ‘One of the most intricate pieces of work in the entire model are the cr- namental iron gates. ‘There are sev- en of these and each required more ‘than a day's labor. Each picket Io = separate piece of wood and there are ornamental hinges and locks. "Van Zandt says the most difieutt ‘work on the whole model was the fit: ting of the small gratings In the base: ment windows. The pieces composing ‘the gratings are so small that it wes ‘almost impossible to get them elued ‘Into position. ‘The glue set before the ‘leces could be put in place. Van Zandt solved this problem by specially prepared glue to be used In this work go that It would not vet 50 time for each of the four gratings. The first part of the house complet- ‘ed, he says, was one of the small win- éows which project from the root above the second story, and the last ‘thing completed was the knob on one ‘of the rates, “Van Zandt 1s emphatle in his state- ment that the only tool used in the entire work was his penknife. Even the rounded pillars in the porches, he says, were made with the Knife and were smoothed with a plece of iaakanes: ] . ' ' ioe 5 | Woodland and E. 75th ; a . Street Market : .

The Race He Represents on the Republican National Committee Entitled to This Consideration—His Jurisdiction "Current Opinion," remarks: "All intelligent Haitians know that the battle-fields of the republic have entitled them to all of free-American statesmen and leaders of dom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American opinion are not aware of what spirit of fairness and justice demands." happening in Haiti. The American nation is too great and too good to reach infractions of political morality." The government should see to it that its hyphenated low-brows in 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 be temperate, decent and humane.—Record of Christian Work. No man has been held up to riddle and criticism in recent months like Henry Lincoln Johnson. He is called by many uncomplimentary names. "The nine thousand dollar Georgia peach," is whispered in almost every conversation that arries concerning him. Delegations, are waiting on Mr. Harding to see to it that Mr. Johnson be deprived of dispensing the patronage of the soun. His character as a man is being sailed and his company is being called "a band of graffers." Mr. Johnson seems not to reply to his crities. We feel that somebody should speak out and deny the many nasty things being said about him or he should defend himself. We take this position because Mr. Johnson is looked upon as the representative of the entire race on the national committee of the Republican party. This of course is untrue. Our people did not put Mr. Johnson on the committee, but he was put there by the powers that be within the party. Mr. Johnson is the national committeeman from Georgia. He has only to do with Georgia. He has no more to do with our people of other states in matters of patronage than he has to do with the Zulu tribes of Africa. He represents the Republican party of Georgia, black and white. As such he is in duty bound to be fair to both races. Our interest in Mr. Johnson is due to the fact that he, as an Afro-American in the place he occupies, can bring distinction to the race as such or he can bring discredit. His success will add to the race's achievement and his failure will hurt as much. This should not be the case, but America unjustly holds the whole race responsible for the fault of one and credits to the individual any achievement any Afro-American may make. We dislike other people saying to us that the Republican party turned down two presidential candidates because of the wrong use of money but it also elevated a man of the race who received money, it is said, from both of these candidates (Wood and Lowry) to aid them in being elected. If the accusation be true then Mr. Johnson should have been denied a place on the Republican national committee. His being on it under such circumstances, should reflect more on the white men who put him there than upon our people. The standard of Republican National Committee should be the same as that required of the nominee for the Presidency. The white race has made the mistake too long of taking an unworthy member of the race and elevating him apparently in order that he may be criticised and the conclu- THE HAITI SCANDAL. The Rev. L. T. Evans (white) published further evidence concerning the outrages perpetrated by the U.S. Marine Corps. Haiti Natives have been roped together to work in gangs on the roads, and the flesh on their arms reduced to a jelly by this barbarous shackling. Mr. Evans has repeatedly seen Haitians set up and beaten by gendarmes until they were insensible. "I have seen the dead bodies of the neaten lying in the jail yard covered with flies, and night after night have heard the cries and groans of the outraged." Natives are being robbed of their land, the constitution has been suppressed, and the representative body of the land dismissed. Mr. Evans are reports that a special delegate of the pope, an archbishop, bishops, nuns, friars and priests are receiving salaries paid by the financial adviser of the United States out of loans made to the bankrupt Haitian treasury. The members of the Marine Corps seem not to approve of Protestant mission work, however. "At Gros Morne, on the last Sunday in June, 1918, on my way to hold services at the Baptist mission in company with the native pastor, I saw men and women stopped by the gendarmes and turned back from attending their place of divine worship. At this time I further saw two bands of some, eight or ten natives roped tightly together and marched like slave-gangs. Among them I recognized members of our mission and our native preacher. During my stay at Jacmel I found that one half or so of the male members of our Baptist church were absent from the holy communion and in hiding in the mountain districts in terror of the gendarmes." . The Southern Baptist Board and the Negro Baptist missionary society of the United States are planning to enter Haiti together with a seminary missionary school, a hospital at Port au Prince, dispensaries and deaconesses. They will be warmly welcomed. Dr. Francois Delancour, writing in "Current Opinion," remarks: 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 A. B. Dr. William A. Byrd. sion drawn that the race as a whois is not fit for elevation because he, the one of their choice, is unworthy. We do not pass upon the guilt or innocence of Mr. Johnson but we are tired of his being assailed as the representative of all our people on the National Committee, for he is not. He is Georgia's representative, for both white and colored. However, in passing let us say, Mr. Johnson it will be well for you to remain in your own state, Georgia and help render, service there, for the moment you aspire to enter the politics of Ohio, New York, New Jersey or other states than your own, the trouble will begin. We wish you success in Georgia politics. An effort to meddle in the politics of other states will only result in failure. Not because you are "a colored man" but because you have no jurisdiction outside of the state of Georgia. If you were white, the same would be double true. The National Committeeman from Massachusetts, or other states must not enter the politics of any other state to try to reward friends or get even with enemies. We hold that the Republican committeemen and U. S. Senators and Congressmen of our respective states, together with the Republican machinery of said states are responsible for the fair and just awarding of patronage to all elements in the party. For the good of our people of Georgia and your own good name, Mr. Johnson either deny these nasty things being said about you if you can honestly and truthfully do so, or forthwith resign. New Automatic Computation Meth ods Are Devised. When battleships are maneuvering or steaming ahead in fleet formation, it is essential that each navigator know the speed his vessel is making, in order that it may be kept in its proper position in relation to the others. Quite recently two new automatic methods for establishing the speed of vessels have been perfected, one in Sweden and the other in this country. The latter system has been adopted in the navy department and installed in the latest United States men-o-war and auxiliary vessels. The plan takes advantage, of the uniform slip of propellers at a given speed, and by means of specially designed instruments, the revolutions of the various propulsion shafts are translated into distance traveled through the water. This eliminates all the calculations heretofore required in computing the speed and distance made by a vessel. With every 100 turns of the propulsion shafts the distance is worked out automatically by the instruments and the revolution per minute given every 200 turns, and the speed also estimated. The revolutions both ahead and astern are counted. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO APRIL 23, 1921. 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. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Poison suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, 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 "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upward of ten dollars, that 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 bereather provided, a sum not to ex- 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 such injury should still children such unlawful killing. Such sum 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 child according to the laws of the distribution so will the intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of 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 purporting to be killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6). 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 person had, to include it with the costs of the action, a ceeding tax levy for such county, 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.) 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 **bs** ed. representative of victim of lynching.ury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. 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 representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any 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 safecewearing, 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 the contrary contrivance appears to 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 for 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 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, and be persecuted 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 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 outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Editor The Gazette Cleveland O My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to speak under, under a separate cover, the House, the Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing 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.

THE GAZA who Might Su TAMED BY JUDGE WITH COOL STARE. Red Man Bad But Couldn't Stand Look in White Man's Eyes. There are precincts in Alaska with a large native population where it is a policy to try a case at times without actually having a session of the court, writes H. S. Farris in Case and Comment. There are a few isolated cases of Alaska natives who have been bluffed into becoming law abiding persons, after the commission of a misdemeanor, when if they had been tried and given a term in jail they would have become confirmed jail birds. A good illustration of this is the case of a native in one of the small interior towns. Now most Alaska Indians are tame—very tame; and this fellow became a bad man unexpectedly and accidentally. He suddenly pointed a rifle at a small group of his fellows, and let out a yell. His act struck terror in the breasts of all the tribe, which was much to his liking. This native knew that the commissioner of his precinct had gone to Seattle, and "going to Seattle" means to the Alaska native, all or any part of the universe outside the boundaries of the territory. Also the "gubment" had been considering the appointment of a deputy marshall for this section of Alaska, but the "gubment" moves slowly, as as yet no deputy had been named. So every day it was customary for this wild native to make a demonstration before one or more members of the little tribe. It amused him, and, besides, it was profitable. He would suddenly appear in the home of one of his neighbors, brandish a knife or a gun, emit one terrifying "whoop-ee," and the field was his. He would then take any article of furniture or anything in the way of provisions that suited his fancy or appetite, after which the village would be normal until the next outbreak. At times they uttered feeble protests. "I think maybe, judge come back pretty quick; maybe you ketchum hell." To which the wild one asserted, "Injun no 'fraid judge, no 'fraid marshal, r9 'faid 'skookum house.'" (Jail) At last the news came to the village that the commissioner had returned and was now at his headquarters, twelve miles down the river. So that night some of the bravest of the brave slipped quietly into his cabin and before the enemy had recovered from his surprise he was tied hand and foot. The following morning he was placed in a sleeping bag, trussed as he was, and sledded to the mining camp, where the commissioner was located. A committee of three natives waited on the commissioner at his office that afternoon and explained the situation. Among other things their spokesman stated that "this Injun talk, no 'fraud judge, no' fraid marshal, no 'fraid 'skookum house,' that's what mess!" The commissioner went at once to the house where the bad Indian had been taken. The native lay on a caribou skin in the middle of the room, bound hand and foot, while around the room were squatted some fifty members of two neighboring tribes. All awaited the "trial" with much interest and anticipation. The commissioner ordered the native released. One fellow produced a knife, cut the bonds and assisted the bad one to his feet. The Likeness. "A beauty doctor, taking the skin off the society queens' complexions is very much like a sexton at the church chimes." "I can't see the llkeness, I must say." "Isn't he peeling the belles?" 2nd Fish: Sure, ain't I "rocked in in the cradle of the deep." Do It Gracefully. Do a man a favor With a pleasant smile, Or it loses savor In a little while.

Prof. Moseley 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.
