C.—President Harding received at the White House, April 16, President King of Liberia, together with officials attached to the latter's mission to the United States. Shortly after the termination of the visit of courtesy, President Harding returned the visit by a personal call on the Liberian President at the latter's temporary residence. The first time this has occurred in the history of this country. While 19.33 per cent of unskilled Afro-American labor in the country joined the army of unemployed during the last three months of industrial depression, only 2.63 per cent of the skilled labor was thus affected. This is a most interesting deduction from an emergency survey of selected industries made by the Department of Labor. Reports from Richmond, Va., say that a revival of the building industry of that place has reduced the number of our involuntary unemployed to practically zero. The Calmette district, of which Chicago is the center, leads in the number of our unemployed, with an approximation of 15,000. In Michigan their unemployment is given as having been decreased by 2,530. In the Pittsburgh district estimates indicate that our average unemployed is 4,500. On March 31, 1921, in that district, there were 2,000 "absolutely unemployed." The Authorities Insist — Bridegroom Insists He is "Colored" Jeffersonville, I n d. — Authorities here are puzzled over the case of Carl Johnson, whom they have arrested on account of his marriage to a woman of very dark complexion. Johnson, who was arrested at his home, 514 Broadway, claims that he is a "colored" man, although he is as fair as the average Caucasian. His wife, Mrs. Grace Henson Johnson, is of a very dark complexion. Johnson, 29 years old, applied for a marriage license here three weeks ago. He was denied it when the license clerk noticed the contrasting difference in his and his wife's color. On April 9, the two went to New Albany, where they secured a license and were married by the Rev. E. Louis Raverty. Several whites of the city contend that they know that Johnson is white, saying further that they are-acquainted with white parents of his. In the meantime, Johnson stolidly claims to be "colored." The penalty in Indiana for intermarriage between the races is a fine of $100 to $1000, and a prison sentence from 1 to 10 years. Civilized (?) Indiana RECEIVES $30,000 IN FEES Attorney Ed. Wright "in Clover"—Congressman Britten's Wife CHICAGO, Ill.—Edward H. Wright, attorney, is causing the local daily press a world of worry. It appears that Mr. Wright, as the chief legal expert of the city's traction plan," has drawn $30,000 in fees during the past year. The Chicago Daily Tribune calls attention to the fact that this is very near one-third of the sum ($107,324) paid the entire staff of experts on the city pay roll. The "World's Greatest Newspaper," refers to Mr. Wright, as a "Negro attorney of ability," and as the "Negro advisor on Mayor's Traction Plan." In the meantime Mr. Wright continues to draw his fees. Mrs. Fred Britten, wife of a Chicago congressman, sailed for France, recently, "to petition General Foch to remove the African troops from Germany." If the alleged atrocities of the African troops nauseated the fine (?) sensibilities of Mrs. Britten, we wonder how the mob violence, rapines and murders of the South anecther. She probably is blind to the crimes of American Democracy. As a matter of fact, the African troops were returned home, many months ago. Mrs. Britten is evidently seeking a little cheap notoriety; that is all. NINE GEORGIANS INDICTED ON LYNCHING CHARGE Bills Are Said to be First Ever Returned Under State's Mob Violence Act—Gov. Dorsey and Peonage. CAMILLA, Ga.—Nine indictments were returned, last week, by the county grand jury in connection with the lynching, last January, of Jim Roland, said to be the first such findings in the state under what is known as the "mob violence act." The charges are murder and mob violence and all of the indicted men except two have been arrested and released on $10,000 bond, to be tried, this and next week. Roland was shot and killed by a mob after he had shot and seriously injured Jason Harrell of Grady county. Witnesses testified before the grand jury, it is stated, that Harrell was making some Negroes dance, and that when Roland came along Harrell tried to make him dance, too. Roland, it was testified, refused, whereupon both pulled pistols and fired, Harrell falling badly wounded. ATLANTA, Ga.—A publicity campaign in Georgia to acquaint the people of the state with peonage conditions, was urged by Gov. Dorsey, addressing the interracial committee here, last week Friday. The governor presented information on approximately 150 cases of peonage, cruelty or lynching and offered a number of suggestions designed to improve relations between the races in Georgia. Among them were: compulsory education for both races; formation of two state committees, one white, the other colored, to hold conferences on racial matters; repeal or amendment of the wage labor contract law; establishment of a state constabulary; assessment of a fine on each county in which there is a lynching (like the Ohio law); laws providing for the governor to remove county officials held to have permitted lynchings by negligence; authorizing an investigation of lynchings by three superior court judges, and authorizing selection of grand and petit juries from the state at large in lynching cases. DOINGS OF THE RACE Our population in Georgia numbers 1,206,365. There are 1,689,114 whites. Creamer and Layton, song writers, have written a musical revue, "Ebony Nights," which will be sent on tour with an all race cast. Jack Johnson still owns a French motor car, diamonds and other property amounting to $196,000 according to his manager, Elmer Tenley. A. D. Price, veteran Richmond, Va., undertaker, is dead. Death following the amputation of a limb. The Asbury, Civil Rights' bill was killed in the Pennsylvania Senate, last week. It had been passed in the House of Representatives. Col. James H. Young, perhaps the most widely known of our North Carolina politicians died, recently, at Raleigh. Mr. Young served in the state senate, the Raleigh city council and as deputy revenue collector. He was 63 years old and served in the Spanish-American war. Likes "The Old Reliable." Lakes The Old Relic Cleveland, O., April 23, 1921. Hon. C. S. Smith, Blackstone B. Blig. My dear Brother: Enclosed please find check ($2) for your very interesting paper, ("The Old Reliable" Gazette), which I read with great interest, pleasure and benefit. With best wishes, I remain, Yours truly, (Rev.) S. A. Lucas, Agency Sec., American Bible Society. The coming of THURSTON, the world's greatest magician, next week has aroused joyous anticipation in the hearts of both young and old Herman and Kellar both had wonderful followings—but THURSTON has played before more people than either of them. One of the feats he presents next week is "The Magic Fountains". He makes a tiny stream of water flow from such ordinary arid surfaces as the ear and the top of a bald pate. This act he originated in Japan and while there secured the elaborate and beautiful costumes used in this illusion. THURSTON has a number of spiritualistic feats. Tambourines flop all over the cabinets, stools upset and various ghastly specters appear without any visible assistance. This may be THURSTON'S last appearance in this country. He will be at the SCHUBERT-COLONIAL for two weeks, opening May 2. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "White Supremecy" In The South Nothing But "White Mob Rule" The Basis of Peonage—"Officers of the Law" There in League With it— "The System" To Editor Boston Herald: In a letter to the Herald this morning Mr. L. Cuthbert Odian says, "that it is a deplorable misfortune for a colored man to be born in the South." Mr. Odian is undeniably right, but the misfortune is not for the colored man. Sixty years ago our fathers in the South considered the Negro slave the foundation of business prosperity. As such, the Negro was held firmly to his servile position and contributed little to the social problem. Today the situation is quite different. A constitutional amendment has endowed him with all the political rights possible, but unfortunately it has given him neither intelligence nor refinement. The northern colored man whom we meet has taken advantage of the great educational opportunities open to him, and consequently has become nearer our own race. For him I cannot say enough. The black in the South, however, has received a constitutional coating of political liberty and social freedom which covers up none of the bestial sensuality so commonly found in the unenlightened of any people. If Mr. Odian has lived in the South, he would be cognizant of this fact." If he had been born the son of a Texas gentleman, he would have seen and heard from childhood evidences of the common southern Negro's deprivacy. If his sister, as fair, pure and promising a child of 14 as could be found throughout the South, had been attacked and forced by a brutal, sensuous black animal while walking through an unfrequented lane at some distance from the house, would he still be shocked at the "atrocious headline: "Texas Mob Burns Negro at Stake"? No, for he would have been one of the "cowardly, bloodthirsty mob who could not wait for the law to inflict punishment on the accused"; but instead of acting in a "voracious" manner, he would have carried out his part in the proceedings if he were worthy the name of man, with a quiet determination that the incident should be one to insure fear in the minds of other lawless characters. Neither Wilson or King George need be in doubt as to whether the South knows the meaning of the word "justice." WILLIAM B. DURRELL. Harvard University, Cambridge. Editor Boston Herald:—No person, not even one of the truthless white Texans, more sincerely welcomes than I, in any Boston daily newspaper, such history—perverting, false statements which Durrell wrote—provided that, on every occasion, the columns of the same paper afford equally unrestrained opportunity for a member of the viciously and falsely accused race to retaliate by telling the truth. Evil days would certainly fall on the state of Longfellow, and Whittier, and Garrison, and Sumner and Shaw, if Massachusetts journals were not ready, on any occasion, to answer the challenge of any exponent of that criminal institution which cursed the first 8 decades of the American republic. Mr. Odian, be it said to his credit, is not silent while human beings—in the twentieth century—are burned at the stake in time of peace; and that in the United States of America alone. He who does not revolt at that french practice in his own country is the vilest kind of a hypocrite if he makes the pretense of being patriotic. Mr. Odian undoubtedly seems to be a genuine advocate of honesty, justice, right. Durrell bemoans the destruction of an immoral system which the more successfully protected stealing, raping, murdering by· the Southern rebels. Who does not know that, at the present moment, practically throughout the South, the white people there are systematically and strenuously striving to prevent further black anabasis from the South? So long as the white southerners continue doing that and exhaust their powers to allure to the 'South those southernborn Negroes now elsewhere, so long it is downright imbecility for anyone to pretend that the presence of the Negro in the South is a "misfortune" to the white southerners. As editor of a newspaper twenty years ago, I wrote the fact that, of the Negroes lynched during a year, less than one-third of the victims were even as much as accused of rape or attempt or intention to rape. Several years thereafter I found, by the statistics, that, during the period, just ended, of twenty-five years, of all of the Negroes lynched, only twenty-five per cent of the victims were in any way connected with accused rape. The record of the year 1918 again proves the fact that the usual crime of the lyncher is that of murdering Negroes who are known—Negroes whom the IN UNION IS STRONGER LE COPY FIVE CENTS arrell! Supremecy" In Nothing But Mob Rule". Image—"Officers of the League With it—System" lynchers themselves never even depicted—to be innocent of so much as intention to rape. By way of refuting Durrell's false hypothesis upon which he futilely attempts to justify the bestiality of white Texans, I ask, did the unchivalrous white South, in lynching five Negro women in 1918, murder these colored women on account of rape? Can anyone conceive a more bungling, disgusting effort to justify a system of callous, deliberate, brutal, wholesale murder—murder often by the most fliendish torture—of men, women, BOYS, and GIRLS? I pity any person, whom Durrell can convince that murderers of women are protectors of the chastity of women! Durrell ought to know—who does not?—that the number of white southern men who each year rape intimidated, unprotected Negro girls and women, greatly exceeds the number of Negro men who commit the same dastardly crime upon white girls and women. Assuming that Durrell is an enemy to the rapists, I ask, when will he publicly and honestly declare that, while upholding the burning at the stake of the "sensuous black-animal" he also insists upon the infliction of the same torture upon more numerous sensuous WHITE-ANIMALS? Wm. H. Dammond. 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. Rollin Lynde Hartt, under the caption of "The Negro Moses," published in the Independent (New York), February 26, 1921, is a base 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 aboard Black Star Liners owned and operated by Negroes." The truth if this statement I challenge in a concrete manner, namely, I will donate a five hundred dollar 8 per cent bond of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Power and Light Company, dated November 1, 1920, and due November 1, 1930, with all coupons attached to the Nurse Training Department of the Lincoln Hospital, New York City, if any of the Garvey propaganda will adduce satisfactory evidence that "Fifteen pioneers of African Independence," including surveyors, architects, etc., within the last three years, on a steamer of the "Black Star Line," sailed from the port of New York, or any other port of the United States, for the Republic of Liberia, West Coast of Africa. The evidence required is: (a) the names and home addresses of said "fifteen pioneers of African Independence." (b) The name of the ship on which they sailed. (c) The name of the port from which they sailed. (d) The date of their sailing. (e) An authenticated copy of the contract entered into between them and the Universal Negro Improvement Association to proceed to Liberia to follow their several vocations in doing pioneer work for said Association. The time for dallying is past. The situation has grown serious. For one, I am weary of the misrepresentations and audacity of Marcus Garvey and his co-propagandists. C. S. SMITH: 37 E. Alexandrine Ave. Detroit, Mich., Apr. 5, '21. Gilpin For The Films NEW YORK CITY.—Ghas. S. Gilpin, star in O'Neill's "Emperor Jones," has had a run of more than 150 performances and bids fair to continue at the Princess theater here, for the summer. He has been a much sought after man for special appearances and by the producers of the mechanicals. He announced that he is under contract to appear in a series of film productions under the direction of J. A. Fitzgerald for the Eureka Film Co. Six-reel comedies are to be produced with a company composed entirely of Afro-American artists. Mr. Gilpin has already recorded two talking numbers for the Reynard Electric Phonograph Co., of 210 Fifth Ave., this city.

E. Malone of Poro College, St. Louis, Mo. They are portraits of our newspaper men and other prominent men of the race who gathered in St. Louis, last fall and two years previous, as guests of the Malones at the formal openings of the main and annex buildings of Poro College. Of course the pictures will have to have the prominent places on the walls of The Gazette sanctum sanctum. One of the embarrassing situations inherited by President Harding from the former occupant of the White House involved a claim of the Norwegian Government for 14,000,000 kroner. Several Norwegian ships were requisitioned by this government during the war, and have been sailing under the American flag ever since, but the former owners say they have received no payment for the use of the vessels. The United States has informed Norway that it is quite willing to arbitrate the matter, and doubtless it will be settled with satisfaction to all concerned. Peonage and lynching, in other words, go hand in hand. They are twin sisters in infamy. They are a shame and disgrace not only to the particular communities where they occur, but to the entire country. As President Harding said in his great message, this kind of /lawlessness must end. Not only the peonage murderers, but the mob murderers and the lynchers must be taught that laws in these United States mean something; and the only way that lesson can be taught is by remorsely hunting down, trying, convicting, and hanging every secondrd guilty of them. When that is done, when there is a general awakening in the Lynch Law bill along these lines, then, and not until then, shall we be on the way toward making these savageries cease—Harvey's Weekly, N. Y. City. THE USUR'ING DICTATOR. The inherent viciousness of the League of Nations scheme is abundantly demonstrated by developments in connection with the disposal of the island of Yap. Although the United States was one of the associates in the war and would naturally be entitled to share in all of the benefits of the victory, and, moreover, was one of the nations to which Germany expressly ceded her interests in the island of Yap, yet the nations which controlled the League Council undertook to deed away the share of the United States in that important island. By the treaty of peace, Germany "renounced in favor of the principal allied and associated powers all her rights over her overseas possessions including therein the group of islands in the Pacific Ocean lying north of the equator." The United States was an "associated power" and thereby acquired from Germany a share in the former rights of that nation in the islands north of the equator. The fact that the United States did not choose to join the League of Nations does not in the least impair her right to share in the German possessions as one of the allied and associated nations. The fact is that the League has set itself up as a dictator over the affairs of the world and undertaken to dispose of property that is neither the property of the League nor of the nations composing it. It is clear from this one transaction relating to a very small island, but one of immense importance, that the League of Nations was a veritable Frankenstein, a super-state ignoring or denying the just rights of inoffensive nations which have contributed in unstinted measure to the tremendous task of winning a world war fo the preservation of civilization. If this one effort at domination over the affairs of the world shall succeed, there will henceforth be practically no limit to what the League of Nations Council will undertake in its efforts to promote the selfish interests of the nations controlling it.

"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of 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 or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer. My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of strong and outrage with what 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.

SENIOR EDITOR THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO APRIL 30, 1921 Scientific Plaything of One Day Becomes Commonplace Of the Next. IS A GROWING INDUSTRY Produced Exclusively in America—A Single Gram, 1-28 of an Ounce, Worth $12,000—"National Radium Bank" in New York. Since its discovery by M. and Mine, Curie at the University of Paris in 1898, the metallic chemical element, radium, has been more or less of a scientific curiosity. It was early discovered that the rays emanating from it, though giving off little light, possess peculiar penetrative powers, being capable of passing through solids liquids and gases more readily than the wonderful x-rays. Gradually investigators have added to this store of knowledge concerning the element. They have learned to use it in treating disease and in the preparation of a sort of luminous paint for the dials of watches, clocks, aviators' instruments, etc. As the scientific plaything of one day becomes the commonplace commodity of the next, radium has become the basis of a rapidly growing industry. It is perhaps the newest of all our industries and certainly one of the least understood. There are now only three or four companies in the whole world producing radium commercially and the product of the largest one is only about one ounce per year. This is no insignificant output when we consider that the total amount of pure radium in the world at present is only about five ounces and that a single gram—1-28 of an ounce—is worth $120,000. Many will be surprised to know that so expensive a material can be used in the production of a watch to retail at $2 or a locator for electric switches, etc., that can be sold for 75 cents. The secret of the matter lies in the fact that very minute quanti ties of radium impart lasting luminosity to other subsances that are com paratively inexpensive. Hardly a third of an ounce of radium has been used in treating more than 4,000,000 watches and clocks that have been manufactured to date. Radium is used by physicians and surgeons principally for treating cancer, tumor and other malignant growths as well as lesser diseases. A "National Radium Bank" has lately been established in New York to meet the demands of the medical profession for radium. The "capital" of this unique institution is a mere pinch of radium but it is worth $375,000. This will be loaned in small portions for medical purposes the same as money is loaned in regular banks. Borrowers will be required to furnish satisfactory security and to pay interest, the same as for loans of money. So far as is known no radium is now being produced on a commercial scale outside of America. The reason for this is the fact that we have in our Western deserts the only known deposits of the rare radium ores. For the most part these deposits are in almost inaccessible spots but they are near the surface and mining therefore is comparatively easy. Location of the mines, however, is very expensive. The mines of the largest domestic producer are in Long Park plateau in Paradox valley, Colorado. The ore has to be hauled in six-horse wagons a distance of 58 miles to the railroad. It is then carried by rail 2600 miles to a plant in Orange, N. J. This long haulage of the ore is necessary because chemicals weighing almost as much as the ore are required for the processes of reduction and because the necessary labor for the work of reduction cannot be obtained at the mines. The reduction process is rather a complicated one of chemical separation and elimination yet it differs from other ordinary chemical processes only in the refinement of control that is necessary. Electroscopes capable of detecting the presence of such minute quantities as four one-billionths of a gram of radium, are used for checking up the radium content of the material after each operation. Less than a thimbleful of radium is obtained from eight carloads of ore. This represents about four-fifths of all the radium in the ore, one-fifth being lost in the refining in spite of the pains-taking care to collect it all. Considerable quantities of uranium and vanadium are obtained as by-products. The best-known use of this material is for luminizing watch and clock dials and locators for electric switches. It is also used for making luminous dials for instruments mounted on automobiles, airplanes, ships, etc. The production of luminous house numbers is now about to be undertaken on a large scale. Recent novel applications of the radium-zinc preparation are in the manufacture of luminous fish bait and glowing eyes for dolls and toy animals. American Dominions Does the sun ever set on American dominions? Yes, for a short time. The longest step the sun would have to make from one American possession to another is from the most western island of the Philippines to the most eastern of the Virgin island group, and that distance is a little more than 180 degrees, or half way round the earth. DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY "Let us have faith that right makes might, and In that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it"—Abraham Lincoln. AMBER EXHAUSTED. Originally Formed 100,000 Years Ago Supply is Now "Finis". Cigar and cigarette holders and pipe stems must be made of something besides amber for a while, and nothing so far has been discovered that fills the bill quite so well as that substance. At present there is almost no amber in the United States. The principal source of supply, the Baltic regions, is bottled up. Before the war it sold for $30 a pound. Now a man could get $80 for it, if he could only get the amber. Amber comes largely from the sea. Chunks of it are often washed ashore but a great deal is gathered by dragging the sea floor with nets. It is resin that was exuded some 100,000 years ago. Before it hardened, flies, bugs and even birds of those far remote times that lit up its sticky surface were held prisoners and are now often found perfectly preserved. Raw amber ranges in color from a pale yellow to a reddish brown, with varying degrees of transparency. To work it, the first thing is to heat it in an oil bath which renders it flexible. Cloudy amber may be clarified by boiling it in oil, and the scraps made from working the material may be collected, ground and made into an inferior quality known as "pressed amber." While the richest and most important deposits are in Poland, amber is also found in many other parts of the world including America and Australasia. The amount found in America, however, is insignificant, and since the beginning of the war very little has been imported. Amber is closely imitated in celluloid and the like. Genuine amber has the quality of causing sparks of electricity when rubbed with silk or fur. The ancients had observed this phenomon, and the word "electricity" was derived from the Greek word meaning amber. ENERGY OF GASOLINE. More Efficient Engines Will Be Produced As Time Passes. Engineers usually measure heat quantitively in "British thermal units," abbreviated "B. T. U." A British thermal unit is defined as that quantity of heat which is required to raise the temperature of one pound of pure water one degree F., at about the temperature of 39 degrees F. Experiments have shown that one such unit is the equivalent to approximately 770 foot-pounds of energy. That means that a single heat unit, if there be no waste anywhere, is capable when transformed into mechanical energy of lifting a weight of 770 pounds one foot or a weight of one pound 770 feet. A single pint of gasoline, scientists tell us, represents 12,000 B. T. U.'s of energy. If this is correct and if all of its energy could be made available for useful work a pint of this fuel would lift a weight of 12,000 $\times$ 770, or 9,240,000 pounds (4620 tons) one foot, or a weight of one pound 9,240,000 feet (1750 mifes). Unfortunately we have never been able to utilize all this stupendous energy for doing useful work. The very best gasoline engines so far devised are so inefficient that only a comparatively small proportion of the total amount of energy stored up in the fuel is delivered by the engine's shaft or pulley. The problem of making more efficient engines is one well worthy of careful study, particularly since consumption of the fuel is running neck and neck with production and prices are going higher and higher. Of course, it is mechanically impossible to make each pint of gasoline yield 12,000 B. T. U.'s of energy or to obtain from each unit 770 foot-pounds of mechanical energy but more efficient engines can and will be produced and those who produce them will be richly rewarded. WOMEN INVENTORS They Include Mrs. Potts of Flatiron Fame and Many Others. Women have invented more things than the number of patents to their credit would indicate. The invention of the cotton gin was due to an idea originated by a Mrs. Green, though the model was made by Ell Whitney. Silken fabrics were invented by the Chinese empress, Si-Lung-Chi, more than 3000 years ago. The first straw bonnet manufactured in U. S. was braided by Betsy Metcalf, Providence, R. I., in 1879. Engraving on wood is said to have been invented by the Cunis twins, Alexander and Isabela in Italy. Mme. Curle is probably the best known scientist of to-day, on account of the discovery of radium, credit for which she shares with her husband. A Mrs. Potts, of Philadelphia, invented the flatiron with detachable handle. ORIGIN OF "CREOLE." Explanation of Meaning of Often Mis-understood Term. "Creole" is an American negro word, thought to be a corruption of the Spanish word "criadillo," meaning servant. It is applied to those born of European parents in the American colonies of France or Spain or in the states which were once such colonies; especially to persons of French or Spanish descent who are native inhabitants of Louisiana. The term was later adopted by, but not conceded to, natives of mixed blood and is still used among themselves. There is also a class referred to as "colored Creoles." TO OUR PATRONS.

MAKING THE GAS GO AROUND Our purpose in proposing a sliding scale of gas prices for Cleveland is to make the limited supply of gas go as far and last as long as possible. It restricts the use of gas in cold weather. Cold weather that would cause too heavy a use of gas for heating purposes will instantly raise the demand to the range of prices that is frankly intended to restrict its use. This is necessary so that in those periods the greatest possible supply of gas may be kept for the essential purposes of cooking Cleveland's meals and heating water for Cleveland homes. The sliding scale of prices, with a minimum price fixed by the smallest possible profit at which we can afford to continue the general distribution of gas in Cleveland, is the practical and economical solution of your gas problem and ours. It is your protection because it protects your gas. THE EAST OHIO GAS COMPANY A CIRCLE will be held at 2617 Scovill Ave. Every Sunday at 2:30 P. M. Admission 25 Cents. MRS.

The American Legion of Cuyahoga county will fire its heaviest gun in the fight against the German propaganda 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 auditorium large enough for the purpose. One of the principal speakers will be National Commander Galbraith, of Indianapolis. Other men prominent in military and legion affairs and city and state officials are scheduled to appear. Though our people are the ones most harmed by the distribution of the German propaganda literature, and we all know and recognize this fact. The Gazette has been unable, to date, to enlist our two local ministers' unions and several "race organizations" in the effort to have the malicious lying German propaganda literature. HE CAN STOP IT—IF HE WANTS! This, too, in the face of the recent court decision anent the dearrangement Henry Ford's paper, the Dearborn Institute. The Ford-Independent case is not a parallel one to ours, by any means. Whether this prove to be the case or not, the failure of our local ministers' unions and other so-called race organizations to matter even a little interest in the matter is characteristic of the unresponsive in the extreme. It is one prime reason in the case of making so little progress in this community in contending for its rights, etc., these days. Tuesday morning, our ministers could gather at Lane Metropolitan church for the purpose of considering a ward political matter they had better let alone, "for the good and welfare" of themselves and the churches they represent. Meantime, our local "race organizations" seem so fast asleep that apparently only Gabriel's horn could awaken them to the activity along racial lines they should weeks ago have exhibited in opposing the continued distribution of that miserable German propaganda literature.

The Tate Stars traveled to Akron, Sunday, and a large crowd of fans saw them defeated by Ralph Lattimore's Akron semi-pros, in the first exhibition game of the season. For five innings the Tates looked like world-beaters and were leading the Rubber men 6 to 1, when their machine broke down, due to ineffectiveness of their pitchers. Prior to the sixth inning "Rube" Henderson had pitched a fine brand of ball when his control flied. Brady and Casey were also wild and ineffective.

WEAK, NERVOUS ALL RUN-DOWN Missouri Lady Suffered Until She Tried Cardui.-Says "Result Was Surprising."-Got Along Fine, Became Normal and Healthy. Springfield Mo.—"My back was so weak I could hardly stand up, and I would have bearing-down pains and not was well at any time," says Mrs. D. V. Williams, wife of a well-known doctor, who kept getting headaches and having to go to bed, continues Mrs. Williams describing the troubles from which she obtained relief through the use of Cardul. "My husband, having heard of Cardul, proposed getting it for me. "I saw after taking some Cardul... that I was improving. The result was surprising. I felt like a different person. "Later I suffered from weakness and weak back, and felt all run-down. I did not rest well at night, I was so nervous and cross. My husband said he would get me some Cardul, which he did. It strengthened me. . . My wife got along fine. I was in good health and condition. I cannot say too much for it." Thousands of women have suffered as Mrs. Williams describes, until they found relief from the use of Carduil.

In Lubbock, Tex., there dwells a man who is reputed to possess phenomenal physical strength. We shouldn't be surprised if some circus has found him by this time and booked him as its strong man. His weight is only 155 pounds—about the same as that oft-mentioned, composite individual, "the average man." Yet, we are solemnly assured that in numerous actual tests he has demonstrated his pulling power to be equal to a score of horses. What President Harding Said to Our People, Last Fall. "I am for democracy in its fullness." "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." 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." I believe in equality before the law. You cannot give 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." "WHITE SUPREMACY" AND PEONAGE. Persons who have kept up with the policy of the South toward our people are not surprised at the revelations 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 be 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 understand that the farmers can have Afro-American "criminals" to work their farms and that no law will be enacted to prevent them to the criminals. It is the duty of constables to the most trivial offense and take him or her before a magistrate who imposes security on them to go to a peonage farm. The courts of the South are responsible for the condition of affairs as revealed in Jasper County. The farmer, Williams, 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-owners. If one should dispute the books of the white farmer he would be kicked out of the store or killed just as the farmer and his help saw fit. Any member of the race in the community that 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 peonage (slavery) which ends in murder. How many of our people are now sleeping the long sleep that knows no awakening because of their opposition to peonage and "The System," no one knows. There are many aids to southern white farmers, like Williams' man, who kill off any member of the race that their boss marks for death. If the truth were known, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas and South Carolina are in the same middle position as the state of peonage. Georgia is "White supremacy" means that our people must keep in the will of white people for their lives, what they get to eat and for their privilege of living anywhere 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 child of tender ages 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 this 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-Americans and renders them helpless to protect themselves. "WHITE SUPREMACY" is "WHITE MOB RULE!" The officers of every southern state are elected by this mob rule. The officers elected have an understanding to carry out the "system." The rightous sentiment of America must destroy "white supremacy" in the South as it destroyed slavery. In many ways it is more inluentous than slavery. Under slavery the slave had the protection 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 A MODERN HERCULES. "Stout" Jackson, of Lubbock, Texas, A Physical Wonder. An automobile is a more toy in his hands; "hitched" to one, he trots along pulling it with the greatest ease. He thinks nothing of pulling against a strong team of horses and dragging them backward when they are pulling their hardest, declare his truthful neighbors. Taking a two-inch manila rope in his bare hands he pulls it in two as easily as the ordinary person breaks common wrapping twine. Seemingly without any effort at all he can bend a one-inch bar of iron double, holding it by the middle with his teeth and gripping its ends with his hands. Bending the largest iron spikes into staples with his fingers is a commonplace stunt for him. A single blow with one of his fists, say veracious reports, drives a nail through an inch board. He has a record of lifting on his back a number of men whose combined weights totaled 3756 pounds. This man, "Stout" Jackson by name, doesn't show any abnormal muscular development. His extraordinary strength is not the result of any physical training or any particular diet. It appears to be due simply to the exercise obtained in doing ordinary farm work. He may use some trickery to make his stunts more wonderful; we can't say as to that. AUTO POLISHES. Here is Told How Good Ones Are Easily Made. The use of a good polish is essential if the finish of automobile bodies is to be preserved and kept spick and span. Excellent results may be obtained with a simple mixture of boiled linseed oil and turpentine, about half and half. Another good polish is made by mixing one gallon of turpentine, one pint of kerosene, three and a half ounces of oil of citronella and one and a half ounces of oil of cedar. The body of course must first be cleaned with water in the usual manner and then the polish should be applied. Care must be taken not to use too much polish and finally to rub the surface perfectly dry with a soft clean cloth. These polishes are also good for use on furniture. UNDISCOVERED PLANET Astronomers Say It Lies 4,000,000,000 Miles From the Sun. Many astronomers are convinced that an outer planet, as yet undiscovered, lies some 4,000,000,000 miles distant from the sun. According to recent calculations, based on disturbances in the movement of the planet Uranus, the hypothetical planet whose mass is about six times that of the earth, completes a revolution about the sun every 283 years. Because it is so small, compared with other faraway planets, astronomers have so far searched for it in vain. Calculations show that is now somewhere near the western border of the constellation Gemini. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO APRIL 30, 1921 Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. 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 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 Mobs Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 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. Person 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. 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 mob on the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as a result, one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if such injury occurred, such sum shall 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 of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an adult, such sum 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 lynch a person killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6). Section 6283. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is hard, to include it with the punishment for the deceeding 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.) 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 safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had 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 ten 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 ten dollars, or imprisoned son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is that the court has not ordered they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for artificially 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.
