HARDING MEMORIALIZED And Asked to Instruct U. S. Attorney General Deug挛y to Investigate Peonage Conditions. Columbus, O.—The following is the resolution introduced by Hon. Harry E. Davis of Cleveland and recently passed by the Ohio legislature: Whereas, The entire country has been astounded by the revelation of peonage conditions in the South; and Whereas, Such conditions exist in violation of the thirteenth amendment of the federal constitution and the laws enacted by congress to protect the federal government has undoubted authority to take any action it deems advisable with or without the co-operation of any state; therefore Harry E. Davis Be it resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That the president of the United States, be, and he is hereby memorialized and requested to instruct the attorney general to conduct an investigation of peonage conditions in the South in violation of the federal constitution and laws, assist the state authorities in prosecutions when necessary or advisable, and take any other legal protections to bring all violators of such laws to justice and stamp out all vestiges of the un-American condition of peonage. Be it further resolved, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States and to each senator and representative from Ohio. Southern "Social Equality." ST. LOUIIS, Mo.-James Hamilton (white), age 45, was fined $600 in City Court No. 2, recently on a peace disturbing charge; $300 in each case.

HAITIANS REQUEST TROOPS' WITHDRAWAL SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC U. S. MARINES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF NEARLY 10,000 NATIVE PRISONERS! Delegates of Island Republic, in Capital, Present Memorial to President Harding WASHINGTON, D. C. — Charging a long series of atrocities by American marines and the native gendarmerie, commanded by American officers, in Haiti and requesting the withdrawal of the U. S. military forces from that republic, three Haitian delegates are in Washington to present a memorial to President Haiti, the state department and congress. The memorial was made public Sunday by the delegates. It reviews the five years of military occupation of Haiti and declares that it "the most terrible regime of military autocracy which has ever been carried on in the name of the great American democracy." The naval investigation (?) of conditions in the republic ordered by Secretary Daniels last year and conducted by a board under Rear Admiral Mayo is characterized as a "joke" and Reau Admiral Knapp is accused of having done "nothing at all" when he visited Haiti under orders from Secretary Daniels to make a personal inquiry. "The Haitian people feel," says the memorial, "that if the naval court of inquiry has not fulfilled in Haiti the broad mandate conferred upon it by Mr. Josephus Daniels it was because it was faced with charges of such a horrible nature that it thought best to pass them over in silence." Among the acts charged against the American occupation of Haiti are: Admiration of the "water cure" and other tortures by American officers and marines and the commission of "numberless abominable crimes," of which twenty-five cases with names and dates are given in the memorial. Other charges are: Removal of $550,000 of Haitian government funds which American marines carried off "and took on board the, gunbait Machias," and which were deposited in a New York bank to "force the Haitian government to accept control of the custom houses by systematically depriving it of financial resources." Entrance by Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler on June 19, 1917, revolver in hand, "followed by American officers armed with their revolvers," into the Haitian legislative chamber and dissolution by force of the Haitian legislative assembly. Enforced ratification on June 12, 1918, of a new Haitian constitution, with marines presiding at the ballot boxes, only ballots bearing the word "yes" being issued. Furthermore, it is charged that more than 4,000 prisoners died in 1918, 1919 and 1920 in the prison of Cape Haitien and that at Chabert, an American camp, 5,475 prisoners died during these three years. For "the wrongs and injuries" the Haitian people ask reparation, says the memorial and they also request: Immediate abolition of martial law and courts martial. Immediate reorganization of the Haitian police and military forces, and withdrawal within a short period of the American military forces. Abrogation of the convention of 1915 under which American military occupation began. Convocation within a short period of a constituent assembly with all guarantees of electoral liberty. Knocks Out Southern "Cracker." LOS ANGELES, Calif.—One day recently, on a Hooper Ave, car, Watson Burns, had quite an experience, as a seat belt to a limo (hite) and a Burrow and an ungenerated "cracker" made for it. The former nosed him out and quietly sat down. A moment elapsed. He was tapped on the shoulder by the "cracker". Burns looked around, and the "cracker" said, "Don't you know that is a white woman you sat down by?" Burns said not a word, but his trust right shot out and caught the "cracker" square on the jaw; he went down "for the count". The conductor came forward as he hew revived and said, "I'm all done on," and assisted him off the car. Burns then said to the lady, "Madame, I hope I have done nothing that would offend you, as I certainly meant no disrespect to you." She replied: "You certainly are not offensive to me." Our First National Bank. CHICAGO, Ill.—The First National bank to be controlled by our people—The Douglas National Bank of Chicago—received its charter, April 29, from the controller of the currency at Washington, D. C. Only one white man, the chairman of the board of directors, is connected with the bank in any capacity. Stock in the institution, which opens with $200,000 in capital and $50,000 in surplus, is to be sold exclusively to Chicago Afro-Americans. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "WHITE SUPREMACY" ONLY A PART OF "THE SYSTEM" IN THE SOUTH—THE REMEDY FOR MISERABLE CONDITIONS THERE. (Special to The Gazette) JERSEY CITY, N. J.-Governor H. M. Dorsey of Georgia gives to the world a mild statement of the horrible conditions now existing in Georgia. He cites one hundred and thirty-five specific crimes of the foulest murder in his state alone. The leaders in these crimes are sworn officers of the law aided by the Ku Klux Klan. Negroes are treated as brutes. Their lives are not as sacred as the soil that opens its mouth to drink in their blood. The indictment of Georgia is an inimitable man of the south's barbaric mind holding the colorless as well as an exposition of the political infanty of white supremacy". The sufferings portrayed by Harriet Beecher Stowe in her immortal book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" do not compare in brutality with the treatment suffered by Negroes in the South now. Gov. Dorsey proves that the so-called "good whites" of the south are non-existing is nil. The white church has lost its power and influence. The rural districts have been deserted and the inhabitants have been left to the very influence of wickedness of every kind. The city of city under the powerful influence of politics, is urged to keep its mouth shut. The result is civilization because of fear heals to function. The governor pleads for churches and Sunday Schools. Sheriffs and maines and drives into desperation, denessless people in poverty is a system! This thing is being done now to continue this state of affairs during the administration of President Harding. What Gov. Dorsey says about Georgia may be truthfully said about every southern state. Colored people live in the south because they are ignorant on the one hand and also because they dread to begin life over in some new country. Compare the arrangement of the south by Gov. Dorsey with the laudation and praise given the south by Major Moton of Tuskegee. Everybody knows Gov. Dorsey is RIGHT! He has told only half—not even that! What the Irish are suffering now in Ireland French soldiery is an imitation what Negroes are offered for years to the south. Shaun Shaun! that no southern minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ had the grace and courage to do in the name of Jesus what Gov. Dorsey has done in the name of decency and law. Many people are asking how may these things be remedied? Various subterfuges have been used to palliate them. Various means are now being used to gloss over them. The stern fact is, the whites of the south are incapable of doing justice to the colored race so long as the colored race is kept out of politics. There can be no adjusting of race relations until WHITE WIFE LOVES HIM And "Will Stick to Him Through Thick and Thin"-A Carnegie Medal Hero PHJTTSBURG, PA.-Among the twenty-three recipients of cash awards and Carnegie medals, which were awarded here, recently, was Samuel Davis, of Kentucky, who died in an airplane to save the life of a young girl (white) from drowning in the Big Sandy River, July 12, 1920. A bronze medal was given to his widow and death benefits to the amount of $50 a month, with $5 a month additional on account of her daughter. Mrs. Daisy Pruitt, are 45 years, (white), proved at a coroner's inquest, last week, that "love knows no color" when she stoutly refused to testify against her colored husband, Don Pruitt. The latter, a handsome fellow, is being held for the murder of Wm. Dawd, aged 59, of 1120 Fulton St., N. S., the nightwatchman at the T. H. ...evin Paint works, Preble and Island Aves., who was slain April 12 while making his rounds through the plant. When Mrs. Pruitt was called to the witness stand by Coroner Harry T. Ewing she refused to have anything to say against her husband, for whom it is said she has repeatedly expressed the deepest devotion. During the inquest, she looked lovingly at her husband in the prisoner's box and he returned her spirit love messages with smiles. Mrs. Pruitt declares she loves her husband and will "stick to him through thick and thin." IN UNION IS STRONGER COPY FIVE CENTS outh of Georgia PEONAGE BRUTALITY AND ENCE. ONLY A PART OF "THE YOUTH—THE REMEDY CONDITIONS THERE. the colored man of Georgia has under the constitution and protected by the law of the nation, what the white man has. Give the colored man his vote and no sheriff will dare maltreat him. Give the colored man his vote and conditions will immediately change and civilization will again begin to travail in the sourh. When the vote is given the colored man and he is protected in having that vote counted as he cast it then will all Rev. Wm. A. Byrd. white men, even the Pat Harrisons of Mississippi, cease to abuse him and will treat with him. In restoring the ballot to the colored man there may be trouble and some blood shed, but it is far preferable to what is going on there now. Give the colored man his ballot and he will change conditions that now oppress him. The colored man may be a failure in politics but even so he cannot surpass his white brother in that business. There must be in the south a restoration of the constitution and a maintenance of law. Mobism is the law of the south. A white man feels that he can do anything and he does anything his vicious heart devises. White men in office will not oppose him because he, too, is living from the fruits of this violent lawlessness. Let the colored race have the franchise, bring home the soldiers from France and distribute them over the south until it learns some sense, and then we shall be ready to aid in restoring France. Our civilization here is menaged by the south. The loud-mouthed demagogues in Congress are aiding the violence of the south. All America should come to the aid of Gov. Dorsey. We congratulate him for his courage. Appropriated for More Institutions—Our Legislators Do Great Work! Charleston, W. Va.—$1,206,216.46 was the total of the appropriations made by the West Virginia legislature, before its adjournment, last week, for the creation and support during the next two fiscal years, beginning July 1, of Afro-American agencies and institutions. Of this amount, approximately one-third goes to the East Virginia Collegiate Institute, which uses such buildings, and current and other expenses $455,272.46. For the same purposes, our Bluefield Institute has placed to its credit $133,644, and Storer College, a private school, $6,000. The newly created institutions fared equally as well, the hospital for insane getting $150,000 for buildings and land, and a similar home for girls, $50,000. Including the insurance derived from the burning of our Orphans' Home, that institution is for rebuilding $126,000; the tuberculosis sanitarium gets $52,500, and the deaf and blind school $30,000. Other appropriations were our bureau of welfare and statistics, $12,200; supervisor of our schools, $5,400; advisory council to the state board of education, $5,200. The state has already bought a 650 acre farm of rich bottom land as a site for the hospital for the insane, and negotiations are pending for a location for the deaf and blind school. Sites for the school for incorrigible boys and the home for wayward girls are to be selected by the advisory council, co-operating with the state board of control. When these are completed the state will have eight institutions for and under the management of Afro-Americans. ```markdown ``` One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .50 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1921 Now that the U. S. Chamber of Commerce has framed a resolution on the subject of the tariff, it would be a fine thing if some officer of the Chamber would tell the country just exactly what the resolution means. A translator or interpreter is needed. We are among those who do not believe that Secretary of Navy Denby ever made the statements, he was quoted as making in Tuesday morning's daily papers of the country, relative to the charges of cruelty and worse filed with President Harding by the three Haitian delegates now in this country. Whether he did so or not, the fact remains that a Congressional investigation of the U. S. marine's conduct in Haiti during the unlawful American occupation is absolutely necessary now. AT EAST—THE GUARD'S AWAKE Secretary of State Hughes is not only vigilant in looking after American interests abroad, but he is clear, forceful and convincing in the language he uses to state the American claims. Relative to participation of American concerns in the development of oil resources in the Dutch East Indies, he says very directly that the United States has given foreign capital equal opportunity in this country, that the people of other nations are permitted to develop oil properties in the Dutch East Indies, and that the United States expects that the same privileges will be extended to the people of this country. It is encouraging to find an American spokesman talking for America—not selfishly, but in a dignified and self-respecting manner. We ask no special favors or privileges. We do ask and expect equal opportunity. ... Somebody has "pulled a bone." Geo. Randol, an employee of the city garage and a member of the local Republican organization, who some time ago announced his candidacy for the city council in ward 11, in opposition particularly to Councilman Thos. Fleming, and who is backed by a newly organized club in the ward, E. R. Brown, pres. and Mose Dixon, sec., has been "fired" from his city job as a result of his candidacy, it is claimed, and political war clubs galore are already denting the political atmosphere in that section of our great city as a result. But that is what Randol's dismissal amounts to. It makes him ten times as strong a candidate as he would have been, hanging on to the job. Any one can see this after a moment's thought. So whoever brought about Randol's dismissal is entitled to the credit or blame, as one views it, for making his candidacy a real, live contender for the nomination and that all the other candidates will find that they will have to reckon with. The club backing Randol and many other voters in the ward are strongly anti-Fleming; indeed, as a matter of fact such a feeling has been very strong there for several years, but smoldering. It broke forth in the organization of the Brown-Dixon club and has grown ever since "by leaps and bounds." That Cleveland Association of colored men committee, Dr. E. J. Gregg Major W. T. Anderson, Dwight R. Williams and others, that called on Maurice Maschke, some weeks ago to ask the appointment of a member of the race as an assistant county prosecutor were told to see "Starlight" (Boyd) and "Tom" (Fleming) first by the head of the local Republican organization, so Dr. Gregg informs us. Of course, this was just like "waving a blood-red flag in front of a mad bull." Ever since, they have been telling this to our people of the ward and the city with the result that the word "indignation" does not begin to tell the state of feeling not only of the committee and the club but about all of the best men and women of the race in Cleveland, which of course includes ward 11. A "hornet's nest has been disturbed" and there are certainly not political times ahead. Randol's petitions for signatures are being circulated and he says "the intelligent voters of the eleventh ward are tired of the political manipulations of Councilman Fleming and the men whose directions the councilman carries out in the council." As an active member of the Republican organization for the past two years we take it that he knows whereof he speaks. Prior to that he was a lieutenant in one of our overseas regiments where it is claimed, he learned to fight! Councilman J. R. Hinchcliffe, (Republ,) who is developing an anti-Republican organization candidacy for mayor, this fall, said Tuesday he was going to fight for the re-instatement of Randol as an employee of the city garage and on Monday evening introduced a resolution in the city council looking to that end, the very worst thing that could possibly dismiss to Randol's candidacy. His dismissal was of his opposition to the Fleming candidacy was a "bone-head" political move and his re-institution would be the political trump card, played by the local Republican organization, if Randol would be foolish enough to return to his job. Councilman Hinchcliffe's resolution calls attention to the fact that Randol was commissioned a lieutenant of the 372d Infantry, A. E. F., "for bravery in aaction" and that he was told by Alva R. Corlett, secretary to the mayor, before his discharge that "unless he withdrew as a candidate for council he could not hold his city position." There are two or three other Afro-American candidates for the council in ward 11 and it is going to necessitate the exercise of care, on the part of "The Old Reliable'Gazette, in order to be able to take a proper position. Yes, we live in the ward. Pennsylvania's civil rights bill did not fail of passage in its state senate because our people of that state did not do their full duty toward it nor because "the voters and people (white) of the state are not educated up to such legislation." The same power that secured favorable action for the bill in the lower branch of the Pennsylvania legislature caused its defeat in the upper branch, says our contemporary the Philadelphia Weekly Tribune, and it ought to know. HARRIED OUT OF PARTY A small manufacturer in Tennessee was duned by a creditor corporation which asserted that its auditor found the sum of $2.33 due, and a remittance would be gratefully received. The Tennessee man replied that he was willing to pay anything due, but he took occasion to remark: "We do not specially like all this talk you are giving out about your auditor. We were in hopes that with the out-going administration we would get a let-up on auditors. We have been bothered with auditors—fellows checking up—lawyers who had no practice, school teachers, preachers, food administration, counterfeits, short haired women, long haired men, until we left the Democratic party, to stay gone until they could find some one who would let the commercial men run their own affairs." This small manufacturer in Tennessee has a counterpart in every section of the country—probably in every community. American industry get good and tired of government auditors, government agents, government inspectors, government probers of all sorts who had plenty of time and long expense accounts, with no need to worry. American business men did the worrying. They had business to do, contracts to fulfill, payrolls to meet, taxes to pay—and they were on the job early and late trying to make both ends meet. Every interruption to their work, every diversion of attention from their business, meant loss to them, as well as personal annoyance. The Wilson administration loaded its payrolls with lawyers who had no practice, with short haired women and long haired men, until thousands followed the example of the Tennessee manufacturer and left the party "to stay gone until they could let the commercial men run their own affairs." There is a new regime at Washington, one that is pledged to less government in business and more business in government. This does not mean that business will be given license to do as it may please, just because it is to be given reasonable liberty. In his first address to Congress President Harding voiced a warning which will have the hearty approval of the Congress and of the people when he said: "But government approval of fortunate untrammeled business does not mean toleration of restraint of trade or of maintained prices by unnatural methods." Good business will have. encouragement and opportunity—bad business would better watch out. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MAY 14, 1921 ALLIES REGULATE AIRCRAFT TRAFFIC STATES AGREE TO ADMIT FOR- EIGN PLANES OVER THEIR TERRITORY Areas May Be Prohibited For Military Reasons Or For Public LONDON.—The air convention signed in Paris is one of the most interesting of the agreements which have been made by the powers taking part in the peace conference says an air ministry announcement. The admission, by a state of foreign aircraft to the air over the territory and to its aerodromes, even though carefully safeguarded, marks an epoch in international arrangements to which no parallel can be formed. It is true that a visiting ship enters the territory of a state, but this is only at the actual frontier, whilst international motoring is confined to a negligible quantity of tourist traffic. In all other cases the means of conveying 'goods' or passengers across a state have been controlled by the state or its nationalists, both with respect to rolling stock and roads. Experience alone will show how far apart from commercial development, air transport will affect the relations between state and state in advancing "international comity," but there is little doubt that its potentialities in this direction are very great. The formation of the inter-allied air commission, and its inclusion in the organization of the peace conference, was due principally to the initiative of the air ministry, who realized that the independent power on the subject of air traffic between England and France only touched the fringe of a very large question. It was considered essential that a code of international air law, worldwide in its scope, should be drawn up, and that in the drafting of it our dominions, our allies and as many as possible of the neutral states should participate. The new code of international air law is presented as a convention in the general principles, technical details being relegated to annexes. In the framing of it the commission found no difficulty in deciding the vexed question of sovereignty in the air. The first article of the convention recognizes specifically the principles of sovereignty, and its tone throughout is to regard the admission of foreign states as a concession than a right. Nevertheless, provided that the conditions of the convention are observed, the contracting states undertake in time of peace to accord freedom of "innocent passage" to the aircraft of the other contracting states, any restrictive regulations being applied without distinction of manner. The principle of sovereignty is further recognized by the right accorded to a state to declare prohibited areas for military reasons or, in the interests of public safety, and it will be interesting to see how far, in view of the development of aerial photography, a state can find it worthy of being prohibited for military reasons. A separate chapter of the convention deals with the international commission for air navigation, which is being established as part of the organization of the league of nations, and consists of the United States, France, Italy and Japan, one representative of Great Britain and one of each of the British dominions and of India, and one representative of each of the other contracting states. While the British empire as a whole will represent its representatives, its voting power will be the same as that of one of the principal states. The voting is so arranged that the five great states, if unanimous, will always be in the majority. The convention only contemplates flying in time of peace and its prosecution of war and the freedom of action to the contracting states either as belligerents or as neutrals. BATS EAT BABY FOOD it's Fed To Them First At Research Station IOWA CITY, Ia.—White rats and guinea pigs are being used in experiments to determine proper food for babies now being conducted in the Child Welfare Research station of the University of Iowa. Their food is weighed, tested and measured out with the greatest care, and the results on the rats and pigs as carefully noted. The research work is being done under the supervision of Dr. Amy Daniels. The experiments have shown that in the majority of cases food on which the rats thrive is equally good for babies. Snake With Feet WAYNE$BORO, Pa.—The direct descendant of the snake made famous by Eve in the Garden of Eden was found at Brownsville, at the foot of the Blue Mountains, south of Waynesboro, the other day, when a copperhead snake with two well formed feet was killed by Ira L. Kastzel. The reptile measured 2 feet 4 inches from the tip of the tail. The legs are $ \frac{3}{4} $ inch in length, while the legs are round and about twice the size of the legs and are with a hard gristle. The snake has been preserved in alcohol! Many people swarm to the home of Mr. Kastzel to see the freak. 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. A Typical Southern Case. CRENSHAW, Miss.-G. Tom Taylor, (white), long a big factor with our vote in Tennessee and who has been considered a friendly southerner, has been sued by a tenant, Pleasant H. Brown, due to the operation of one of the Taylor plantations near Crenshaw, Miss. Mr. Brown charges that his account in the general store of the plantation, for the crop of 1919, was $499,19; that he raised 10 bales of cotton; that the Taylor got that and the seed, but that he has never beer, able to get a settlement out of him. Brown sues also for damages, for being intimidated, and for $1,000 as the value of his household goods which were taken. This is a typical southern case, but usually they do not get into court. CHARACTER Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a ripier growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For thirty-sight years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader-clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and tearing 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. THE MAN WHO, DARES. "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 pleasures of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends." —Charles Sumner. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturdays is required.

Our readers will oblige us greatly by sending at once the addresses of persons in the cities named and others in the state, to whom we can write relative to the matter. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and gullotones decide our least disputes. We must speak and speak again right the wrongs of many. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox. * — Ella Wheeler Wheeler OUR LESSON We must learn to govern oursels and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern oursels and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. THE REMEDY The average Cleveland Housewife knows when there isn't enough gas to cook with. As a matter of fact, geology and engineering are all on her side. And so are we. We have proposed the remedy for her gas troubles in the form of a check on the use of natural/gas for heating purposes. This is an automatic check—a damper that never fails because it works through the pocketbook. A sliding scale, as we have proposed, fixes gas prices as low as possible during ordinary consumption for cooking and water heating. A purposely high rate for gas in large quantities discourages its excessive use for heating, so that the housewife may not be deprived of what she needs for necessary household uses. And the price of gas in moderate quantities remains low. Your gas supply protection is our gas supply protection. We want it. Don't you? The East Ohio Gas Co.

MARRIED COLORED WOMANS Jeffersonville, Ind.—From one- to 10 years in the Indiana reformatory and a fine of $1,000 is the penalty which Carl Johnson (white) must pay for having married a woman of the race. In passing sentence, last week Monday in the Clark Circuit Court, here, Judge James W. Fortune expressed regret that he could not make the punishment more severe. The law of this state, under which Johnson was convicted and sentenced, was the model for the anti-intermarriage bill introduced in the Ohio Legislature, some years ago, by a Democrat and killed after a determined fight which was led by Cleveland (O.) Gazette who was part of the creation of six members of the race (three Cleveland men and three Cleveland women) that spent two days at Columbus, O., lobbying against the bill.

Have you noticed that the South is using the "movies" in the North in an effort to make this section of the country regard the infamous Ku Klux Klan of the South as a lawful and decent organization?

JACKSON, Miss.-The body of Mrs. Rachel Moore was found on a recent Saturday night hanging to the limb of a tree in Rankin County, 15 miles from here.

DEERFIELD, Mass. — Skeletons of three Indians have been unearthed on a farm here by Warren K. Moorehead, curator of the deparmental anatomy of Philips Andover Academy. One skeleton was more than six feet tall, one of medium height, and the third was that of a boy about ten or twelve years old. The bodies must have been buried before the discovery of America, as they were not in a sitting position, as in the most recent Indian mounds. They were lying on their right sides facing east. Mr. Moorehead, who is a member of the Indian commission in Washington, estimates the bodies as having been buried about 500 years ago.

Paint Rock, Ala.—Mrs. C. M. Stegall, of near here, recently related the following interesting account of her recovery: "I was in a weakened condition. I was slek three years in bed, suffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. I was so weak, I couldn't walk across the floor; just had to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number of doctors. Still I didn't get any relief. I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardul I would have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. "I began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven't had any trouble since. I am sure comfortably to the point. Cardul did me. I don't think there is a better tonic made and I believe it saved my life." For over 40 years, thousands of women have used Cardul successfully, in the treatment of many womanly ailments.

Two of them were left in poverty as a result and the son of the third inherited the plantation of his father, and a year ago—I personally saw and know the exact truth of this statement—he was holding Negroes in practical bondage on the strength of watered accounts in the same old house. Little less than a year ago a friend of mine was threatened with death at Caldwell, Burleson County, Tex., for daring to raise his voice against the shameful system of peonage along the Brazos River in that section. I lived for several years in Texas and knew that the standard system of peonage as practiced generally in the South is prevalent throughout the cotton sections of Texas whereever they were imprisoned, they are not allowed to live in various portions of the State. It would seem that what is needed to bring about abolition of great evils in this country is not new laws always for we more often have those in sufficient quantity, but a wholesome, indignant public opinion aroused to aggressively oppose the federal agents are snurred their sleepiness and forced to go aggressively and consistently about their duties of finding infractions of the laws they have sworn to actively enforce. If the Federal officers in the South should use the same initiative in running down violations of the laws, they would be forced forcement officers use in enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment peonage in this good land would beat John Barleycorn into final oblivion. When Jim Cross flung open the door of the storeroom in search of the missing drug clerk he found him with clothes aire wringing in agony on the floor of the burning room. In another moment, the clerk jumped head foremost through the closed window five floors above the street. Jim caught him as he hung for a moment by his feet and held him by one of them. Then, when he had with his cap baten down the flames in the clerk's hands, his own wipe came in need to help by this time—Jim pulled the half-craved man and then, getting out on a narrow ledge, pulled and dragged him along this slight pathway to another window, into which in the sight of hundreds he thrust the half-conscious man before he began to put out the fire in his own clothes. Several minutes later Jim emerged from the building bearing the clerk on his shoulder—only to collapse and fall as he out on the sidewalk—amid the cheers of the crowd. He was in New York the other week in the Winter Garden Theater building; the hero was a Negro porter; the clerk, who has since died from his burns, a white man the Negro hardly knew. Did the newspapers which printed the account make their headlines read: NEGRO HERO SAVES WHITE MAN? No, indeed, they were the same newspapers which love to feature a colored man's crime like this: "Negro Brute Assails Woman." In this case they modestly referred to him as a "colored porter"; one editorial, speculating on the motives that led Jim to risk his life for a comparative stranger, obscurely referred to him as one whose ancestors "Came from the Congo." His last name was not printed. Thus, the Drifter finds it always goes with the Negro. His good deeds are if not interwed with his bones, usually carefully overlooked or minimized. Yet there are many Negro Jims, as the records of the Carnegie Hero Fund amply testify.—The Nation, N. Y. City. What President Harding Said to Our People, Last Fall. "I am for democracy in its fullness." "I shall be glad to see as many Republicans as I am physically able to see; all Republicans look alike to me." "I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America." "I believe in equality before the law. You cannot give one right to the white man and deny the same right to the black man." "The American Negro has the good sense to know this truth. He has the clear head and the brave heart to live it. I proclaim to all the world the truth which America ought to know, that he has met the test and that he did not and will not fail America. I proclaim that America has not and will not fail the American Negro." "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battle-fields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." "If I have anything to do with it, there shall be good American obedience to the law. Brutal, unlawful violence whether it proceeds from those that break the law or from those that take the law into their own hands, can only be dealt with in one way by true Americans. Fear not. Here, upon this beloved soil you shall have justice that every man and woman of us knows would have been prayed for by Abraham Lincoln. Your people, by their restraint, their patience, their wisdom, integrity, labor and belief in God, have earned it, and America will bestow it." BY J. D. SAYERS. Of Louisiana. (In New York Evening Post.) That a condition of peonage worse than the old chattel slavery exists to this day in the South is not very well known in the North and is surprisingly ignored in the South itself. The writer is a native of Louisiana, reared in an outlying agricultural section where the Negro population three to four times the whites. Having been up in the peonage system, I naturally became familiar with it as few men could who might go there from the North or even from Southern cities to study the conditions. Very recent visits and close observation, purposely made, convince me that conditions of peonage are nearly as common and as much condoned in my home State and generally throughout the cotton raising sections of the whole South as during my childhood, over twenty years ago. recommend Nurturs. Practically the Negroes either work for wages or work as "sharees"—that is, the owner furnishes the Negro and his family land, animals, and tools with which to work and the tenant gives the landlord half his crop for the use of the land work, animals, and tools. As soon as the young Negro marries he begins working for some land owner under these conditions. He never has enough in cash ahead to buy everything in the landlord's house. He his family need; therefore he must go to the landlord for these things. The landlord either has a plantation store or has arrangements made with the nearby village or small town store to credit the Negro and charge the account to the landlord. In the majority of cases the Negro is uneducated and unable to keep an accurate account of what he buys. He simply trusts the landlord. Even if he has an education and keeps an account, he is not permitted to compare his work with the landlord. The account as kept by the latter is the settlement is based on at the end of the year when the crop is sold. If the Negro has bought five bacon middlings for 40 cents a pound he is charged up with fifteen or so, and at a much higher price than the regular store price. He may have brought a barrel of flour, but he must pay for two or three at extortionate prices. He may have ploughed in rocky fields bare-footed to save having to buy more than one pair of shoes, but he finds at the end of the year his memory has played a trick and he has really, according to the store account, enjoyed the luxury of two pairs of healthy priced shoes. He rarely may have gone through the year with two cheap calico dresses and find in December that she has, in fact, dressed quite sumptuously during the year—according to the infallible store record. Purchasing Negro Debts. At the end of the year the Negro may decide that he could do better in some other locality and want to move. He and the landlord make a settlement. The Negro's part of the crop is worth so much. The good bookkeeping landlord's account against more Negro is always considered more nevertheless. If other landlord likes the Negro's style of work well he may pay the excess account, he can have the Negro starting the latter in with a good size beginning of debt at the first of the year. Frequently the buying landlord bargains secretly with the selling landlord, securing a sort of split in the excess account charged against the Negro. Some years ago, soon after the enactment of the Federal anti-peonage statute, some land owners in Florida, were convicted under that law, and attention was attracted from all sections of the country. People living in far parts of this country were shocked out of their satisfied state of mind about this being a land wholly free from the powered from their shock with the comforting belief that the new slavery had been deservingly wiped out at one bloy why the paternal Federal Government. It was not so and still is not so. Bought Prison Release.

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" 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. 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 perons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapon. An act of mobbing 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 chapon, 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 after priving it of its power, to exceed 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 $10,000. A person injured 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 f. 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 was incurred until such children such unlawful killing. Sum 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, the widow, and the distribution of the personality of an 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 impose the action as one purposely injured or 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 the costs of action, in the next preceding 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 police officer with hostility 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 port of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispuse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading be ed. representative of victim of lynching.ury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. 1st member of mob. st another county. enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities of the hotel, shall be inedited 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 five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people who not as often as they should, but expect 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: My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. "SEEING THINGS." The final argument (?) of a champion of the southern morbocracy is the hypocritical cry about "social equality." There is no such thing as social equality among any people. A parishoner, in much alarm, went to a priest and told him that he had frequently seen a spectre. What shape or form did it assume? This was the inquiry of the priest. The simple minded parishoner replied that it bore the shape of an ass. Then, go th y way, said the priest, for you have only seen your own shadow. So it is with the southern Democratic jack asses, who are alarmed about the bugaboo of "social equality." Joseph C. Manning.

"GHOST" DISTURBS MINER'S SLUMBER "Authority" Says Visitor Is Spirit Of Girl Killed By Indians GREENSBURG, S. C. —Happenings as vivid and uncanny as any of those from the pen of Poe have caused the residents of Carbon, a mining village southeast of here, no end of excitement. On four separate occasions a figure clad in a snow white gown has been seen weirdly flitting about the village at late hours of the night. The ghost of Peter Oleson, a miner, by strange rappings at his door. Upon opening the door Oleson declares he saw a figure of a young woman wrapped in a white robe standing on the step. What do you want? Come into my house, I will not hurt you," Oleson declares he told the strange figure, but he received no answer. When he attempted to lay hands on the figure it gave a shrill cry and disappeared. Frank Pisor living in the neighborhood, was also called to the door of his home by the "rappins" of the ghost, who had the same experience as Oleson. William Maiers, a grocer and local "ghost authority," declares the nocturnal visitor is the ghost of a very pretty young woman caper captured in their flight from eastern Pennsylvania nearly two centuries ago. In an attempt to escape her captors the girl was killed and scaled near where Carbon is now built. "I 'believe that the ghost is greatly affected by the changes wrought during the last few decades,'" said Maiers. DID HE GET FEE BACK? Lawyer For The Defense Is Robbed In Court DES MOINES, ia.—While in the Des Moines police court room arranging bond for several alleged pickpocket clients, a woman attorney was robbed by a pickpocket of a purse containing $5. She was the center of a crowd of people, among whom were several accused of picking pockets. Which did the job has not been discovered. 2000 Years Hard Luck CHICAGO.—A tremendously excited Chinaman turned in an S. O. S. call at the police station recently and the call will go down in the annals of the South Clark-st police station as the last work in police calls. The call itself resembled a complete shake-up in the alphabet and the only part recorded consisted of "Polettesymen must now hule up, muchee up, muchee up, all time hule no good everything." The police assuming that race rioting had broken out in Chicago's Chinatown, jumped in a patrol wagon on which went clanging to the point designated as the scene of the disturbance. A block away the policemen could see a crowd of excited Orientals and there was the patter of countless sandals over the street to the scene. Breathless, the police leaped from the patrol wagon and wended their way through the crowd. They were met by the overcrowd and applauded from the gesticulating throng, and soon learned the cause of the disturbance. A passing automobile had run down a dog which had been killed in the street and some one had dragged the body of the animal in front of the store of Yet Yan Low. Yet looked at the dog—then swoomed. Yet Yan Low did not fear the dog, but he knew that dragging the body of the dog to his front door meant that 2,000 years of hard luck by Chinese computation had fallen to his lot. Moreover, he realized that the longer the dog was at doorstep, the proportion would be the extent of his period of gloom. The Chinese in Chinatown would not touch the dog because that would suspend the creepe of ill fortune from their family tree. Yet Yan Low, in despair, called the police, his relatives, creditors and friends in an effort to cope with the situation. Long, straight, silky hair can be yours if you want it.
