"A HOPEFUL ASPECT" Comes from Georgia—Federal and State Officials, Peonage, A hopeful aspect of the revelations of peonage in Georgia, and of cruelty and violence to Negroes in connection with it, appears in the desire manifested to search out and stop further horrors. Both State and Federal officers seem to be in earnest in this, and some notable public meetings testify to an at last aroused public opinion. Gov. Dorothy Anderson, a politician, will demand the prosecution of all persons guilty of mob violence or other crimes toward Negroes and will do all in his power "to bring the real situation in Georgia before its citizens." At the same time the U. S. Department of Justice is said to be ready to send fifty agents to the State, if necessary. This is far better than the Palmer method of employing them in the generally needless and frequently illegal hounding or so-called radical, Meanwhile, relationships as to murders and lynchings of Negro peons and as to the extent of the peonage—The Nation, Oswald Garrison Villard, editor; N.

The book is based on Lincoln's career, but of pioneer life in America before the war. Every American should read it. "Beggars' Gift Bureau" Perry Howard and Henry Lincoln Johnson have succeeded in invigilating the women, in their money-raising scheme, and the "Beggars' Gift Bureau," which they have set up in Washington, is receiving funds from the duped and beguiled female mendicants.

XXX ALEXANDER JOHNSON The South's Ku Klux Klan's Bar- baric Work in Texas—An Inno- cent Young Man Branded —None of the Bruttes Punished! Houston, Texas.—This is the likeness of Alexander Johnson who bears the marks of the Ku Klux Klan which operates out of Dallas, Texas. Ordinarily, if per chance a man was seen going down the streets of a civilized country with some mysterious brand upon his forehead, spectators would follow him a country block, declaring all the while that he was from some heathen and the jungles of Africa. The heathen nation would be foremost in one's mind. But dear reader, your mind may rest when you think of Texas—right here in America, right here where the boast of civilization is proclaimed upon the housetop. This organization known as the Ku Klux Klan is made up of that unscrupulous class whose very existence is contempt of law. Then why should such an organization exist? Has the power to govern so large a part of the State become so great that a gang of outlaws must be called in to uphold the laws? We are told that the Ku Klux Klan is a licensed organization in several states in this country. God forbid that any state in the United States should have a set of officers so "little," one-sided, those sacred trusts that the people have given them. It is not enough to have given them the advantage for any state to countenance any such devilty. The marks upon the forehead of the disgrace to any heathen, and a tragedy to any civilized country. It will be proper here to mention the offense for which this extraordinary punishment is committed. It is charged that Johnson, in a hotel, a hotel, had been seen in the room of one of the women guests. Being seen in the room with the guest, he was arrested. The guest falling to acknowledge wrong-doing with Johnson, a charge of theft, placed against him. He being employed at the hotel at the time, the vagrancy charge was automatically dropped. Then came in the Ku Klux Klan with its dirty work. It has been said that the regular constituted (?) officers of the law failed to find any one guilty of participating in the branding of Johnson. If the state were so weak or so derelict that they have flatly refused to protect citizens or to punish outlawry, then it's the duty of Congress of the United States to take the case in hand. PROTESTS FORTE APPOINTMENT As a Trustee of Wilberforce University in Preference to Grand Treasurer of K. of P. Giles. Columbus, O., May 15, 1921. Hon. H. S. C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir—Please state in your paper that Mt. and Mrs. Horace S Carter visited in Cincinnati and Columbus the past week, and on Sunday attended the annual sermon of the K. of P.'s of Columbus at Memorial Hall. You can also state that the K. of P.'s are muchly disappointed because State Grand Treasurer Giles of Piqua was not appointed a trustee of Wilberforce University. Governor Davis has appointed Ormond Forte of Cleveland, a trustee of Wilberforce. K. of P.'s claim Forte is not a naturalized citizen, or if he is he must have been naturalized in recent years. Grand Treasurer Giles is a wealthy farmer and a life-long resident of Ohio. Respectfully. More Peonage Indictments SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Only One of Many to so Suffer in the Southern States—How They Are Robbed and Lynch-Murdered! By Herbert J. Seligmann. One night in Atlanta, just before John Williams was put on trial on a charge of murdering nerd peons on his farm in Jasper County, I sat listening to the story of Addison Fuller, an old colored farmer. He had fled to the city, leaving behind wife and children and all possession and come and went. The attack had to enslave him, to force him, after imprisonment and brutal beating, to work off an entirely fictional debt to a white planter; and after a white man had tried to seduce his wife. The story came out slowly. We were sitting on the verandah of a house near Atlanta University. Overhead were starlit skies. Across the street in a frame house colored people were dancing to a phonograph. We were in an American city, in the midst of American civilization, and the story this slave told in soft tones, without bitterness, seemed all stranger for the popular dances accompanied it from across the street. There had been a brutal beating. Fuller was caught as he tried to release his children from the captivity he had escaped. The white planter who enslaved Addison Fuller told the sheriff after the capture that he "wanted that damn nigger whipped," and so one white man held Fuller's feet, another man held up his clothes and the planter stood over him with a drawn knife. All this is in an affidavit submitted to the U. S. Attorney in Atlanta; but not that the sheriff beat him with a leather buggy trace until he was taken off his coat and sent that he had not half begun the whipping. It was almost an unbelievable tale this gentle-voiced old dark man was telling. But it is not an exceptional one. White men in Newton County freely admitted that peonage was general in Jasper County. And an officer of the United States Government out of his own detailed and accurate information told me that the terrible'murder cases in Jasper County differed not in kind, only in the number of victims, from Negro slavery practiced throughout rural Georgia. Later I heard white men in speaking of paying fines of Negroes convicted of petty offenses, relied to the transposition as saying "you're not Negroes relieved from labor on the chain gang is expected to work off the amount of the fine and as much more as his white boss can make him. This was the situation of many of the Negroes on the farm of John Williams. It is at this moment the situation of many Negroes throughout the State of Georgia. White men stand together in Georgia. Their ascendancy is maintained by force. To them the Negro is a source of labor. There are many instances of benevolent paternalism. But in any full sense the Negro is not considered a human being. If a crime is committed against a Negro it is practically impossible to prove it; unless it assumes the dimensions of the wholesale murders practiced in Jasper County. A Negro's sworn testimony will not stand against a white man's unworn and unsupported assertion. The sheriff of Jasper County, who might have been expected to proceed against the owner of the "murder farm," was himself under indictment in the Federal court, charged with the crime of peonage, at the time the murder trial began. It was a matter of common gossip that the planner, John Williams, who was accused of having instigated and committed the murder of his peons, had had financial dealings with the solicitor who was charged with prosecuting him. It was also a matter of common knowledge that, in defiance of the law of Georgia, a law which is set at defiance every day by thousands of Georgians, many citizens of Williams' county would be present, fully armed, in Covington during the trial. A story which illustrates the difficulty of convicting white men of peonage was told to me by an officer of the United States Government, from his own exact knowledge, as follows: In December of 1920 a Negro farmer found himself penniless, his crop seized by his landlord against a debt the landlord claimed was due. The Negro escaped to another county and took new employment. He was pursued with warrants on charges of swindling and cheating. This is an expedient often employed against Negro peons who escape. The Negro was convicted, but his fine was paid by a white man for whom he went to work. The first employer then sought out the new one and claimed the Negro owed him money. The new employer agreed to liquidate the debt, but before he could do so the Negro was seized at night, carried a mile from his cabin, tied to a tree, and IN UNION IS STRENGTH COPY FIVE CENTS 921! Y BEATEN s Wife Assaulted! so Suffer in the South- They Are Robbed Murdered! shot. The body was in plain view next day. There is no reasonable doubt as to who perpetrated the crime. From a white Georgian who attended the meeting I learned how the Governor of the State, within the month, had met a group of representative citizens and had told them of twenty or thirty cases of peonage of his own knowledge. The few white men who burn with shame and anger at the conditions which they know to exist feel stifled in their own state. They have no means of speaking out. There is no liberal press in Georgia, no magazines not devoted to sensational news, as there are in New York. The newspapers of Georgia are afraid, not of physical violence, but of loss of patronage if they tell the truth. On the other hand they do not scruple to create mobs. One newspaper brought about the Atlanta riot of 1907. The Georgia newspapers lynched Leo Frank. It is idle to advise or warn white Georgians. But they are preparing for themselves a terrible day of reckoning. They do not realize the spirit they are breeding among colored people. The Negro Pullman porter on the train rides northward with a hint of that feeling in Atlanta. He and all his housemates are armed with Winchester rifles. They have been made bitter. They intend to use their rifles if they have to defend themselves. He said to me: "It is bad to have to live in such a state of suspense, not knowing when the storm may break, when you may have to fight for your life." It is bad indeed. The remedy lies with the very white men who have hitherto made it impossible to convict other white men of peonage. It lies in a realization that imposing a sentence of life imprisonment on one of the most deliberate and cold-blooded murderers in the annals of crime in a section of the country where the death penalty is readily inflicted, is not a vindication of Georgian or Southern justice, or in any sense evidence that the death penalty is not the relation that it cannotes between the races can be satisfactorily solved solely by "leaving it to the South."—The Nation, New York City. BLACK TROOPS FOR GERMANY France's "Colonial Troops" on the Move, It Is Said. French Military Headquarters, Mainz, Germany.—One division of black Moroccan infantry and one division of cavalry, under command of Gen. Simon, in fifteen trains, have left for the Ruhr. They arrived in Duesseldorf, May. The French division is approximately 7,500. So some 15,000 Black troops are in Duesseldorf, prepared to advance further. That Germany's Secret Service is still working efficiently is shown by the fact that it knew in advance of the French intention to use black troops in the occupation of the Ruhr Basin. A despatch said news had reached Berlin that these troops would be used. This despatch stated that the French had in Mainz about 24,000 Tunisians, Morocans, Madagascans, Senegalese, Tonkinese, Namibians. These were expected, if either invasion takes place, to advance in two columns, one occupying Solingen, Remscheid, Elberfeld, Barmen and Hagen, and the other Essen, Bochum, Dortmund and Hammi.

SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 The refusal to grant a new trial to that individual, Williams, of the Georgia peonage murder farm is another very hopeful sign. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from Dr. Robert E. Moton, principal of Tuskegee (Ala.) N & I, Institute, to attend the fortyth anniversary exercises of the school, beginning May 22 and including May 26, '21. The Gazette is indebted to Lieutenant W. A. Bettis, veteran of the World War and editor of the Wichita (Kan.) Protest, for the portrait of Alex. Johnson given on our first page today. The Protest is one of our leading papers in the West. An Anti-Lynching bill has passed both houses of the Minnesota Assembly and is now a law. Mrs. Nellie Francis is responsible for its introduction. She was given a public testimonial and presented with a loving cup at a meeting in St. Paul, recently. Good! Dr. Wm. A. Byrd needs no introduction to our many readers, but Herbert J. Seligmann (white) does. He is publicity representative of the N. A. A. C. P. Both have written exceptionally strong articles for which The Gazette asks a careful and thoughtful reading. Several weeks ago, President Harding and his staff paid a visit to the President of Liberia at the Liberian headquarters in Washington, D. C., in return for the call which the President of Liberia had made upon him. So far as we have been able to find there was not a single daily paper in the United States which reported this fact. Evidently the South is "in the saddle" at Washington, as far as the various daily newspaper agencies and the Associated Press are concerned. A GROWING ACCOUNT. On May 1, 1921, Germany is reported to have owed the United States $268,840,000 for expenses of the American Army of Occupation. She has paid 17,106,000 paper marks in the shape of foodstuffs and materials furnished. That huge debt may be one of the reasons that impelled President Harding to appoint representatives to sit with the reparations commission and other European councils that are arranging the peace settlements. STEEL SHOWS THE WAY The acquiescence without a murmur of the 150,000 employees of the U. S. Steel Corporation in a 20 per cent reduction in wages knocks the props from under the railroad employees who are making dire predictions of what will happen if their wages are cut to accord with economic conditions. It is also a splendid tribute to the common sense, loyalty, and cooperation of the open shop workers who were given wage increases voluntarily when conditions permitted. The U. S. Steel wage cut followed a reduction in the price of steel and was in turn followed by a rise of a couple of points in steel common. Steel is the basic industry of the United States. It is the barometer of business. In the nature of things it must follow that wage reductions will become general in industry and rail-reading. Employers will do the best they can by their workers, and after that is done the wage scales in the United States will be far, far in excess of Europe and Asia. AN ERA OF FACTS We are living in an era of facts. Every American industry of any importance now maintains a central agency for the collection of all information and data relating to the business for the reliable information of members and for reference by legislative bodies and others. Large financial institutions maintain departments for the survey of business conditions and the compilation and distribution of statistics relating therota. The claims of each industry to public attention are founded on figures and facts. Likewise, legislation is guided by an intimate knowledge of economics. The day of the so-called "lobby" in Congress and legislatures, with all its attendant charges of misrepresentation and corruption has passed, and tariff and tax bills are worked out with mathematical accuracy by the aid of figures readily available. Mr. Edison recently sent a questionnaire to some college graduates who had applied for positions in his shops. He declares that the answers displayed "amazing ignorance" on the part of the applicants. That depends on the sort of questions propounded. No long ago Henry Ford, a close friend of Mr. Edison, was on the witness stand in Michigan and showed deplorable lack of knowledge in the very rudiments of what should be the equipment of one aspiring to a U. S. Senatorship, yet Mr. Edison would hardly call him amazingly ignorant. Mr. Ford "knows all about" making and marketing cheap automobiles; Mr. Edison is reputed to have profound knowledge of electricity; but outside of their chosen fields they would both probably be surpassed in general mental equipment (as far as "book learning" is concerned) by the college graduates who failed on the Edison questionnaire. Con. Davis Dispensing Gov. Davis Disappointing. Officer, O.—The governor of Ohio, last week, appointed Bart J. Guyder of Stenbenville; Sam, T. Kelley of Akron and Ormond Forte of Cleveland, trustees of Wilberforce, and positions may salary and, to date, are his only appointments of Afro-Americans. Our people of the state expected so much from him, too, in the way of good salaried positions because they supported him so largely. The governor, who was elected for two years, has been in office five months. Send This "Judge" to Russia Birmingham, Ala.—Black Negroes cannot talk to white women this side of the Mason and Dixon's line, even if the white women are in jail." ruled Judge Henry J. Martin, recorder of police court, recently, when he fined Will Massengale, $50 and gave him a jail sentence, and when he fined white woman while she was being held in city jail. Martin would make a good Bolshevik. A. New Harding Song The Gazette has been complimented with a copy of the new song and chorus, "Now President Harding Has His Seat"; words by Cora M. Ray, 811 $^1$ N. 5th St., Joseph, Mo. and the music by A. M. Bienbar. It is very pretty and the words have far more than simply political significance. Rich with sentiment, too.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MAY 21, 1921 PUTS JAZZ IN BEEF KILLING Chicago Sausage Factory Girls, Too, Find Slaughterhouse Music Is Efficiency Tonic CHICAGO.—"Ma-a-a-am" bellowed the steers. "Ia-da, O, ja-da," roared the butchers. "M-a-am! m-a-am," wailed the cows. "How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm?" chanted the butchers over the head with bedge hammers or dextrously stuck squewling pigs in the neck with long gleaming knives. It was in the beef and sheep killing plant at the stock-yards. Music had found a new field. And industry had tumbled upon a new necessity. Beeves hung from the overhead trotley; there were mountain of lees of mutton and prospective porterhouses steaks. And at one end of the floor several hundred men stood around a piano and sang ragtime. "Oh, oh, oh, these St. Louis bui-ues," began A. Bowey, a colored butcher in the sheep department as he labored the piano. Men of foreign birth, men spattered with red, men who understood not a word of music—the music they shouted and started a gallop up and down the floor. The blues ended. John Rezek, a church organist when he isn't butchering dance, plunged into a Slavic folk dance. Then the Cecho-Slovak workers' eyes brightened and in undershirts and white aprons they formed couples and danced. "It's the best tonic for inefficiency—is music," said the superintendent of the beef and sheep "kills" at the plant. "Since I installed that piano the quality of the workmanship has improved 20 per cent." "Why? Because I find that when the men, as many as 300 sometimes, gather around the piano and sing they freshen up, become friendly with one another, lose their discontent and turn back to their work with new energy. "Often the girls from the sausage factory nearby rush up to the cattle slaughtering floor when the jazz music starts. Then there is dancing. "I am going to put flowers—geraniums, pansies and daisies—in here, too," added the superintendent. "Yes, right among the cressors of the garden. I will be painted a cheerful green. My men are the happiest gang in the yards." Other plants have heard of the success of music in the beef killing department, and they plan to try the idea. It was said today. It is declared music is the best cure for restlessness among the workers, and that if ragtime was generally the most decent about the country would die out. Mail Cutterer WASHINGTON. — Cluttering up the mails which envelopes, folders, cards, etc, of such size or shape as to cause serious difficulty in handling has brought down the wrath of Postmaster General Burleson on the heads of business concerns throughout the country. He objects to mail matter extremely large or very small, or triangular, circular of other irregular shapes, necessitating cancellation by hand, as it cannot be through the cannon of oblities. "This imposes additional and unnecessary labor upon the postal service," said the postmaster general, "prevents the expedition handling of the matter, and often resists it by teaching the addresses in a mutilated condition." Objection has also been raised by the department to the use of dark colored stationery by business concerns and too much printed matter on the address side. It has also been instructed to confer with their patrons and seek to end the objectionable practices.

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 fixix 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. THE MAN WHO DARES.

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 who 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 one that all the other candidates will find that they will have to reckon with. The club backing Randol and many other voters in the area 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.

In the jubilee east, besides Whitney and Tutt, are Emma Jackson, Edna Gibbs, Tiny Wilson, Maud Lawson, Helen Heenan, Sawyer Lowen, Alona Anderson, Marissa Meyer, Alex Cortex, Alex White, Mary Miller and the famous "bronze beauty" chorus, stunningly gowned and said to be the best chorus "THE SMARTER SET" has ever had—Adv. ```markdown ``` 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 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, (Repub.), who is organization candidacy for mayor, this fall, said Tuesday he was going to fight for the re-statement 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 happen to Randol's candidacy. His dismissal because of his opposition to the Fleming candidacy was a "bone-head" political move and his re-statement 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 372 Infantry, A. E. F., "for bravery in action" 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.

We congratulate him for his 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." (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 special 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 indictment of the south's barbaric policy in handling the colored race as well as an exposition of the political infamy 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 non-existing "of the south are non-existing" of the south are non-existing is nil. The white chieftain has lost its power and influence. The rural districts have been deserted and its inhabitants have been left to the vicinity of influence of wickedness of the very kind. The city church of the powerful to keep its mouth shut. The result is civilization has perished in Georgia and religion because of fear in the public for churches and Sunday schools. Sheriffs and their deputies take the lead in killing, maiming and driving into killing, maiming and defenseless people. This is a system! This system is purely civil and everything is being done now to continue this state of affairs during the administration of President Harding. 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 in some new country. Compared to the arraignment of Negroes, Gov. Dorsey the laudation and praise enlighten 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 from English soldiery is an imitation of what Negroes have suffered for years at the hands of the south. Shamal shamal 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 the colored man of Georgi has under the constitution and protected by the law of the nation, what the white man has. Give the white man his vote and will dwarf maltreat him. Give the colored man his vote and conditions will immediately change and civilization will again begin to travoll in the south. When the vote is given the colored man and he is protected in having that vote counted as he cast it then will all 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 polio but even so he can manage his 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 U. S. PURGES TRACT OF COYOTE PESTS Co-operates With Wool Growers In Colorado Valley In Killing Beasts MONTROSE, Col.-That thousands of dollars have been saved to the wool growers of Uncompaghre valley through the efforts of the United states government, in cooperation with the Uncompaghre Valley Wool Growers' Association, in waging war upon coyotes is shown by figures published here. For years coyotes have fed upon the lambs and the fowls in the valley, but this season the government has maintained a corps of experts in the valley to prevent depredations by the coyotes. Strychnine poisoning is used in combating the coyote, and hundreds of the animals have been killed. A dead coccus is dragged along the coyote's trail and small pellets of horse meat containing strychnine are placed along the trail, resulting in the poisoning of the coyotes. The hides of the coyotes poisoned and captured are sold, the proceeds reverting to a fund established by the Wool Growers' association to check the numerous raids of the coyotes. DOG SOLVES DOOR PUZZLE Fox Terrier Gets Into Bank Just Like Master HARRISBURG, Pa.—The revolving doors of the Union Trust building were a puzzle to the little fox terrier. His master had left him outside. The dog's mind, however, had been made up to see what was inside the doors and what his master was doing there. First the terrier stood about and watched the animals stepped into the departments and pushed the doors around. It looked easy to him and he thought he could do likewise. When the tide of people had finally died away and nobody was in sight except the casual observer, who was doing his observing around the corner, the terrier mustered up a lot of courage and turned on one of the departments and, placing his front paws on the door, pushed with all his might. The door moved and he kept pushing, finally succeeding in getting inside. Then he stood grimming over his success. WOMEN, CHILDREN FIRST They Run Things On Little Russian-American Island JUNEAU, Alaska.—Mere man has little voice in governing affairs on Eskimo inhabited Little Dioneme, one of the Dioneme islands that are cut in two by the international boundary line across the Behring Sea, between Alaska and Siberia. Women and children do most of the ruling, according to reports reaching the Alaska territorial bureau of publicity here. Before a man can make a purchase he must get his wife's consent. If a mother is living with a married son or daughter her consent must be obtained. Wealth is estimated in skins and the rich provide for the poor. Official suicide is provided for. When one of the natives tires of hunting seals and fishing and trapping and drowns, the body is taken in a makes formal application to the governing body for permission to take his life. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MAY 21, 1921 Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Section 6278.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "jynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as a result of the assault, 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 should such unwlaw 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 should be distributed to the widow of kin according to the laws of 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 purposefully 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 recovery had to, to include with the recovery of action for damages ceeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynching 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 if in lieu 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 a complaint against the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dis pursue such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hom. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading ed. representative of victim of lynching.ury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be imputed 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 will not use it as often as 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 outtery for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. 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. Says He Can Do Better Work With Light Rations CHICAGO—Here is an opportunity for every person to reduce the high cost of living and at the same time reduce his board bill to twenty cents a day. Dr. Thomas J. Allen of Eureka Springs, Ark., is the exponent of the new diet. Dr. Allen, one time president of Aurora college, won fame several years ago when he won the apportionment of "peanut fields" because he subsisted sixty days on a peanut diet. Dr. Allen, who is a convert to a new diet, believes variety will outdo the peanut in satisfying the "inner man," so he has concocted ways and means to solve the high cost of living. "I find I can do much better work, physical and mental, by living on a simple complete balanced ration of two or three articles of food," said Dr. Allen, who makes my food has cost me less than twenty cents a day. "For dinner I had half a loaf of whole wheat bread, about six ounces of whole wheat and half a pound of ralsins. A loaf of good bread and a quart of buttermilk made from skimmed milk by means of a dissolved tablet, with two ounces of corn oil made, meal that my working man can eat in ten to twenty diet I can eat from ten to twenty miles and do the most intensive mental work. "I eat but two meals a day, eliminating breakfast. In the morning I take merely a cup of cocoa without sugar, eating nothing else until noon. I eat a cake of yeast before each meal. "I expect to go on eating this way for the ninety fifteen. I am satisfied it is my diet which has been followed my life. If any one doubts the practicability of the near-monodiet, I am open to challenge of any sort that many serve to establish it." THE GAZ WHO Might S While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstances or condition must be willing to is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It is a good time to "get awake."
