He made a happy speech and after the number had been given with fine taste on the part of singers and orchestra the composer was called before the footlights and, in responding to the long and sincere applause, asked Nikolat Sokoloff, leader of the Cleveland (O.) Symphony Orchestra that played for the Festival, and Professor Lyman to appear with him. This was the first large performance of "The Charlot Jubilee" in America and the work is dedicated to Syracuse University Chorus. It possesses much merit and will become a standard work.

"THE MOST STUPID Being Politically That Ever Trod the Earth"—"More Truth Than Poetry." "Mesopotamia, O., May 23, '21. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gigette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Harry: Please permit me to reply, to a communication, in a recent issue of your paper, anent the appointment of Afro-Americans by Gov. H. L. Davis. It says: "Our people of this state expected so much of him, too, in the way of good salaried positions because they supported him so largely." This puts me in the position of the old lady, one morning, when her son came in from the barn saying: "Ma, the old cow ate the grindstone last night." "I told you, Ben; I told you she would eat it up," she replied. I want to say that an appointment to nine-tenths of the colored people is a very remote consideration in selecting any candidate for any office. But we, all of us, desire to see justice done. Every man and woman admires courage and detests cowrice, and it is through the lack of courage only, that Gov. Davis and all of his predecessors have signally failed to give the Afro-Americans of Ohio the recognition they merit and deserve. No well informed and thoughtful Afro-American of Ohio. you understood the facts as they were and are, expected, nor expects anything material at the hands of the present governor. It is a well established fact that it took around $50,000 to get the governor his nomination. Doubtless a considerable part of this amount went to a little band of selfish colored politicians (?) who were looking to their interests, and who ran up and down the state shamefully misleading and deceiving our people as to the intent of Mr. Davis if elected. If all reports are true the governor is not even friendly to our people. Whenever the average colored man and woman distinguishes between the Afro-American demagogue and one who preaches justice first, last and all the time, then there will be some hope of the political future of our people. Your correspondent laments the fact that Gov. Davis has now been in office five months and practically nothing has been given us yet. Brother, it will be five more months or any number of months and still the Afro-American will be minus any good salaried position. I have often thought and still think that the American Negro is the most stupid being politically that ever trod the earth. Nine-tenths of them will vote for an ass if its name happens to be under the American eagle. A. D. Male. JUSTICE, RIGHT AND JOBS! Hon. Joseph C. Manning Urges Harmonious and Aggressive Effort in Behalf of the Race—Get All Three Is the Slogan! (Special To The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Various and several groups of people of the Colored race have gotten together in conference "to prepare a program" to present in the Legislature and present Republican administration. There ought to be no adverse criticism of well-meaning people who are corrosely trying to find a way out of a serious situation. In fact, every movement and effort, that has the object in view of solving this condition ought to be encouraged. Out of the numerous suggestions and plans put forward, from the several proposals and programs, the administration may be aided in bettering this condition. By all means, yes encourage it. Let all of those who wish justice and right to prevail have a hearing. Some may seek self advancement through this, but they will be entitled to it in the event they render valuable service to the nation. Let the effort to obtain justice be paramount to the struggle for jobs, while not overlooking it that both justice and jobs go mighty well together. For my own part, it is my earnest wish that Colored people get a full measure of justice and a full quota of Federal appointments. Justice will not be secured except by strong and well-organized pressure. Those who get jobs are going to have to contest for them, and no good and deserving man is to be censured, for desiring recognition. "Go to it!" is what I have to say as to this thing of both justice and jobs. Let every one, however, be serious in trying to find a way to better conditions and be regardful of the rights and of the ambitions of others in seeking personal preferment. GIVEN DIAMONDS For a Song—Lenoir Cook's Singing of His Uncle's Composition "Touched" Her and Others. WASHINGTON, D. C.-The following is from the local Daily Star of Sunday, May 22, '21: After Master Lenore Cook, a colored boy, had finished singing "Mammy" by special request, at the Convention for Amity Between the White and Colored Races, last night, and the session had adduced, a young white woman walked up to a group centered around the youngster. She delved nervously into a silver handbag which she carried, took something cut and handed it to the boy. The boy took it. Before anyone in the group realized what was going on she lost herself in the crowd and disappeared. In the boy's hand was a handsome diamond in a beautiful setting of platinum. Then every one present sought to learn the identity of the generous stranger. But this she had successfully concealed. As sung by the colored youth, the song had apparently touched a tender spot in the heart of the woman. The song was written by the boy's uncle, William Marion Cook, and was dedicated to the latter's mother, whom the family all called "Mam." Master Leooir sang on the first night of the convention—last week Thursday. The Congregational church (white) here was filled with members of both races. Lost Saturday, Prof. Geo. W. Cook of Howard University called on the kid's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Cook, 2224, Sixth St. N., and told them that one had 'showed him and asked if he could get the boy to repeat the song. It was 11 P. M. Saturday evening, when Leooir was introduced to give the last number on the program. It is hardly necessary to add that he sang "Mammow" beautifully. There are three small diamonds on the ring on each side of the large central one, making not only a beautiful but also a valuable gift. The Cooks, Will, John and their mother ("Mam"), now Mrs. Dr. Howard, as well as the brother's aunt, Miss Mickie (Lula) Cook of Wilberforce, O., all lived in Cleveland for long periods, years ago. They still have many friends there, all of whom, especially the editor of The Gazette, will be greatly pleased and very proud indeed of this latest success of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Cook's very promising young son. They also have a daughter, studying at Radcliff College near Boston, Mass. A HARVARD TEACHER SENTENCED Given a Three Months' Term in Jail for Assault on a Colored Policeman. Boston, Mass.—James A. Duncan, a "cracker" from Columbia, S. C. and teaching fellow at Harvard university, was sentenced, May 18, to serve three months in jail for assault with a knife on a policeman. He appealed and was released on $1,000 bonds. Frances Shannon, who said her home was in Tennessee and that she was Duncan's fiancee, testified regarding the incident that led to the assault. She had previously given her name as Alice Thomas. The officer found them in a door-way, at night, and ordered them to "move on." For this, he was assaulted by the "cracker." The policeman is in the hospital. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Principal of Tuskegee Ala. Normal and Industrial Institute Being Placed In a Very Embarassing Position By Southern Newspapers—Is He Being Quoted Correctly? (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—Major Moton of Tuskegee should watch his step. Southern papers (white) are using him now to fasten upon colored people, during the Harding Administration, what they suffered under the Wilson regime. Southern papers are commending highly Major Moton of Moton's "understanding program." No where in the world do races understand each other better than in the south. No where in the world has the opportunity been given races to understand each other like what has been given in the south. The truth is, both races understand their attitude toward each other. This "understanding program, is a veritable force!" The whites of the south have chosen to fight every attempt on the part of the colored race, or its friends, to secure for them the rights of American citizenship on equality with other races. Southern whites believe it is their "right" to recognize the Negro as an inferior and to treat him not as a man but as a brute. Whites of the south are opposed to other portions of this country giving Negroes the rights of citizenship and equality before the law. Their pet phrase, "what we do for them down south" or "how we treat them down south" may be heard in any northern state. The south is opposed to Negroes being treated as men and human beings. The south has attempted to embitter the north by crying Negroes desire "social equality." Major Moton knows that southern whites understand the blacks. Negroes are demanding and contending for their rights as men and citizens. In this, they have the opposition of their southern white neighbors. The laws of the south are on the side of the whites. The south is attempting to get Negroes to be satisfied with their present treatment. If southern whites can enlist the support of Major Moton "in keeping the Negroes satisfied," they have accomplished much. What Major Moton says is heralded the country over. Now Major, it is important that you be square with all men and especially your own race. We cannot have in this country, voting and non-voting citizens based on color or racial lines. We cannot have in this country any recognized superiority among citizens irrespective of their racial ties. We cannot in this country laws protecting one race and destroying another. The fact is, colored, people of the south have no confidence in the justice and fair play of the south. Wherever a colored man turns in the south, he meets the sentiment backed by the laws that a colored man must not expect to receive the privileges whites enjoy. Segregation with all of its wilful attendants meets a colored man everywhere and among the very people Major Moton is reported to be landing to the skies! The damage Major Moton is doing by speeches is, the discouraging of the colored youth in inspiring "American manhood rights!" Major Moton by his speeches, according to the southern press, is appealing to Negroes to "be patient and white people will give the race what they think is just." In other words, Negroes should be content to "respect the traditions of the south" and acknowledge that what they have, they received from southern whites. If this is true, then Major Moton is a menace to both races. If this is true, Tuskegee is unfortunately dammed and doomed.

IN UNION IS STRENGTH LE COPY FIVE CENTS anted! ERT R. MOTON gee Ala. Normal and al Institute ry Embarassing Position Newspapers—Is He eed Correctly? races is that of absolute justice and fairness in all things. Up to this time, the south has been and is very unfair. Southerners who may temporarily sojourn in the north chafe under the privileges of colored people here. They would like to see everywhere. Negroes given "jim crow" treatment as the south gives it out. The attitude of the south MAJOR ROBERT R. MOTON toward the southern colored people is their attitude toward every colored person. Negroes, north and south, are bound to each other by ties of blood and racial aspirations. Negroes of the north will not take what the south gives Major Moton and the colored people there. Peonage, "jim-crowism." segregation, disfranchisement, ruining many of our girls, depriving the race of educational funds and education, destruction of their franchise and painting the race as an inferior constitute the policy of the south. In times of war, the south was brutally unjust and in peace it is adding to its brutality. To flatter the south in this, Major Moton is wrong and it will revert upon your head. Major.

Julius Kruttschnitt, who was the chief spokesman for the railroad executives at the Senate Committee hearing, is head of the Southern Pacific System, one of the roads that has made the best showing since termination of government control. In presenting the facts to the committee, therefore, he was pleading the case of the railroads in general more than the case of his own road in particular. He spoke with the authority of a man who has been eminently successful in railroad management, but who was, nevertheless, greatly handicapped by the regulations and obligations imposed upon his road by the government railroad administration. AMERICA'S SHRINE. Five thousand Masons (white), visiting America's shrine, Mt. Vernon, near Washington on the occasion of a Masonic convention, were taxed per capita to enter the grounds and view the memorials of a brother Mason, and a loud protest has gone up as a consequence. Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, has therefore introduced a measure to authorize Congress to purchase the Mt. Vernon estate and throw it open to the public free of charge. It is high time this was done. Patriotic American souls revolt at the idea of commercializing the memory of the "Father of Our Country," and the rigidity of the rules governing admission to Mt. Vernon emphasizes this feeling. It is said that the admission fees go to a fund for the upkeep of the estate, but it is more than suspected that a tidy sum is realized over and above that expense. It would be a fitting thing for President Harding to sign a bill giving the home of Washington to the beneficiaries of Washington's fight for liberty and independence. It was the immortal George who so earnestly warned us against the entangling alliances of the Old World, and it was Warren G. Harding who was elected by a prodigious majority for standing by the principles for which Washington declared and which Wilson sought to repudiate. THE MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM. J. Walter Drake, chairman of the Hupp Motor Company, in an address to the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, at its 9th Annual Convention, declared: "Our new tariff law should without fail contain ample provisions placing in the hands of the President the power to ascertain what countries discriminate against American trade and authorize him to take measures to protect this country from such discrimination. It can not be left to legislative action to decide when such discrimination exists or to order the enforcement of measures designed to prevent it. * * * It is just as vital to our national welfare that it should protect American producers in their endeavors to build up a foreign trade that will be the natural complement of domestic trade and without which the latter will lack a vital and stabilizing element." That is just what the Republican tariff law of 1909 provided for in its maximum and minimum provision, which authorized the President to 'ascertain what countries were discriminating against us and penalizing such discrimination by the imposition of duty rates 25 per cent in excess of the regular rates. Inside of a very few months discriminations against American exports had ceased, and the maximum rates which were to become effective in March of the year following the passage of the law, never came into operation for lack of a country against which to enforce them. SALEM, Ore.—The seven members of the Oregon supreme court signed a telegram to President Harding petitioning him to appoint William H. Taft as a member of the U. S. Supreme court to succeed the late Chief Justice White. And this will be done, if our people do not stop so much talking against this appointment long enough to organize and send delegations to the President to protest, and bitterly, too, Ex-President Taft's selection. ACTION is needed, not simply talk. --- COUNCILMAN FLEMING. Councilman Fleming's resolution, resulting in the City Council's ordering the widening of E. 30th St. at the expense of propertyholders in that street, and the city, not assessing the Street-Car Co. anything when it is the latter that needs the improvement and will be most benefited, has caused a tremendous feeling against him on the part of many of the property-holders in E. 30th St. What is the idea in leaving the Street-Car Co. out, Tom? Then, too, the Central Ave. street-car service is like the tracks in the avenue--MISERABLE! Three day-runs and four "rush-hour" runs have been taken off that line, in recent weeks, and now the word has gone out that there will be no improvement in the street, tracks and service until after Cedar Ave. is given the treatment just finished, in Scovill Ave. Central Ave. must wait, it seems, until Cedar Ave. is torn up, new sewer put in, tracks and pavement relaid, etc., which means about two years more, at least, of, that miserable service, etc., etc. The 11th ward councilman ought to afford immediate relief in all these things. Get busy, Tom. All the residents in the Central Ave. section of the city are entitled to it and are looking to you for it. It had better be done before election day, too. Getting or claiming to get jobs for individuals will NOT suffice. Residents of the ward want and are entitled to some concrete results as well as the few individuals who get jobs. And in Chicago, Too Chicago, Ill.—Any real estate dealer who sells Negroes property in streets or avenues where there are only white owners will be expelled from the Chicago Real Estate Board.

The jury decided against Mr. C. L. Harris the Y. M. C. A. secretary who sued for $5,000 damages. Ex-Cox. Catts Indicated for Peonage, Pensacola, Fla.—Rev. Sidney J. Catts former governor of Florida, was indicted for peonage here, May 18, by a federal grand jury. The indictment charges that Catts, after obtaining pardons for two convicts, forced them to work on one of his farms in west Florida. The former governor recently was indicted by the Bradford county grand jury for accepting $700 for a pardon for a prisoner serving a life term for murder. Some "Rev," eh? Oh, Catts! Forte, Tyler and Wilberforce. WILBERFORCE. O.—The appointment of Ormond Forte of Cleveland as a trustee of Wilberforce University by Gov. Davis is causing much invidious comment here and does not seem to be understood. It was Forte, associated with Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus—then his business associate in Cleveland, who published some of the bitterest attacks on the University, only last year, and now he is appointed a trustee of it. A queer angle! No wonder it is neither liked nor understood here by many. Forte was born and reared in the British West Indies and was naturalized. two years ago, in Cleveland, it is said. The Tate Stars Win.

BARRETT, PRESIDENT OF ADCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY Mounds Constructed For Ceremonial Purposes Within Earth Inclosure MADISON, Wis.—That the builders of the famous Indian earthworks on the Crawfish river near Lake Mills were cannibalistic, is the statement of Dr. S. A. Barrett, president of the Wisconsin Archaeological Society. During the past two months the Aztalan earthworks enclosure has been subjected to investigations and excavations by the Milwaukee museum of which Dr. Barrett is the head. Although the grounds have been plowed upwards of seventy years, the outline of the earthworks is still distinct. The fabled city of Aztalan was first discovered in 1836 and surveyed in 1837 by N. E. Hyer. The city was named Aztalan by Mr. Hyer, because, according to Humbolt, the Aztecs had a tradition that their ancestors came from the north, and the possibility that the newly discovered remains might have built by them, suggested the name. When the first survey was made the enclosure covered about eighteen acres. The remains of the city were enclosed in a wall of earth and adobe bricks which was 631 feet long on the north, 1,419 feet on the west and 705 feet on the east. The total length of the wall 2,750 feet. It was from one to five feet high. "That many of these mounds were constructed for ceremonial purposes was evident from excavations we have made," declared Dr. Barrett in a recent address at a meeting of the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Archaeological Institute in Azalea. "In the center of some of the higher mounds within and outside of the inclosure were found ceremonial pole walls imbedded in stone and cement of gravel and clay. In a few of these mounds we have found stone hatchets, arrowheads and cellos, and in one of them we found an ear ornament that was famous among the Eskimos. From the pottery found in these mounds it is evident that the tribe which built the famous inclosure at Aztalan was familiar with the Iroquois Indians in the east, the Algonquins and lower tribes of the Mississippi Valley. "This earth inclosure was a ceremonial establishment. It was not a stockade; it was not a fortification. There are indications that the people who built and inhabited this place practiced cannibalism. Among the bones and fish were found dismembered bones of human beings, and these bones had been cracked for their marrow." The complete excavations at Aztalan, an almost forgotten village twenty-seven miles east of Madison, which in territorial days rivaled Madison for the state capital is an almost forgotten village. Ice Freezes Inside During Summer, But Not In Winter DES MOINES.—Ice freezes in summer, but not in winter, in the Decorah ice cave in Winneshiek county, northeastern Iowa. While ice does not invariably form in the walls of the cave all summer, it is there many of the warmer months, while in winter the walls are dry and bare. The state geological survey's explanation of the phenomenon is that in the winter the temperature in the cave, the same as outside, goes below the freezing point. However, all moisture near the surface has been sealed in the ground and rocks by the frost, and no water finds its way into the cave. The walls of the cavern get cold and cold, and retain the older ice. When this thaws release the water it trickles into the across the cold walls and freezes. That condition continues until late in summer. The cave is the only one of its kind known in Iowa. Be a Professional Hairdresser and Skin Specialist.

Largest Independent Cigar Factory in the World. Dedicated to The American Poetry CHARACTER In Winter, It's The Gas About the only difference between the gas supply and the water supply in Cleveland is that there is no limit to the water which can be drawn from the lake, yet even the water supply in our homes is subject to seasonal demands so great that shortages are often felt. This is true even with the boundless natural reservoir of Lake Erie to draw upon, and with that reservoir at our door. Here the parallel ends. Natural gas is brought by The East Ohio Gas Company from another state. It is piped in huge mains under the Ohio River, over hills, through valleys, under streams, aerosis countless fields and delivered in your homes as the ideal fuel. In summer, when a hot day strikes Cleveland, the demand for water by the hundreds of thousands of users instantly leaps to such a size that it is sometimes impossible to maintain normal pressure of water in all parts of the city. In cold weather, when conditions are reversed, there is such a sudden turning on of natural gas in all the burners of Cleveland which are used for heating purposes that the gas supply simply can not satisfy all of the demand. The answer in both cases is the same. There must be a regulation of that demand. We do not know the best ways to regulate water consumption That is not our business. We do believe that we are competent to pass on gas regulation. That is our business. A sliding scale of gas prices is the remedy for Cleveland's gas shortages in cold weather. It is the only plan which is fair to the consumer, who buys the gas, and to the institution whose business it is to procure the gas and deliver it to the consumer. The only satisfaction possible to The East Ohio Gas Company is the satisfaction of the consumers who buy our gas. The East Ohio Gas Company --- LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTE MANY smokers prefer it.

"Bamboula," the comic operetta, which the Smarter Set is offering this week at the Prospect theater, scored a decided hit at its opening performances yesterday. The Smarter Set was the Smart Set in the old days. It is one of the best known—and by far the oldest in active service—of the all-colored companies now on tour. Headed by Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, comedians of ability, it stands as an excellent example of an organization of this sort. "Bamboula" is a clean, wholesome entertainment with plenty of singing and dancing, catchy music and no little amount of real comedy. There is THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HISTORY SOCIETY THE BROTHERS SALEM TUTT WHITNEY AND laughter from start to finish, and more than the ordinary amount of jazz. Leave it to your colored entertainer to show his white brethren a few tricks when it comes to dispensing this peculiar form of musical composition. There is a chorus of clever girls. They can sing and dance, every one of them, and they add much to the general effectiveness of the performance. Tutt and Whitney, of course, are featured. To them is allotted the majority of the funmaking, and they dissonate with Jonzo Fenderson and Alexander White two other principals worth a special word. Tiny Wilson and Edna Gibbs are the principal feminine performers, though Maude Lawson and Emma Jackson --- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MAY 28, 1921 days, while the Third precinct jani- tress was ill. Mrs. Ethel Smith, of 3867 Carne- gle Ave., was shot and probably fat- lally wounded last week. Thursday he dined in a argument with a former suitor in the St. John's apartment at 2265 E. 40th St. Resi- dents in the neighborhood, attracted by the shooting, captured the man believed to have fired the shots as he was leaving the apartment. Mrs. Smith was found inside with four bullets in her neck. She is in a critical condition at St. Luke's hospital. Doris Wright, age 13, 2707 E. 55th St. is in Charity hospital, the result of an attack on her, Saturday night, by an unidentified Negro in Kingsbury run. The girl told police she and a boy companion were playing in the gully when the stranger appeared and at the point of a revolver robbed the boy of 20 cents and drove him away. Then he assaulted the girl. This is the sort of thing that causes mobs and lynching. Further comment, un- necessary. Mr. Maurice Bolasy, manager of the Temple Theater, is not to be blamed for the non appearance of the Oscar Micheaux production, "The Gunsalus Mystery." He paid for it and was wired that it had been expressed to him from Memphis, Tenn., last Friday. There was a delay, somewhere between that and this city, for which he was and is in nowhere responsible and which, as late as Tuesday, he was trying to locate.

The story revolves about the efforts of a professor of music who has heard a few strains of an African melody which he desires to trace to its original source. "Bamboula" is the name of the selection—hence the name of the operetta. In the end, his desire is fulfilled and just how this happens furnishes the crux to the comedy. The show is well staged and directed. Costumes and scenery are unusually elaborate for a production of this sort and help to make it a pleasing entertainment. Daily matinees are listed for this week.—Monday's Daily Plain Dealer. The foregoing is not fullsame but highly deserved praise—every line of J. HOMER TUTT it, and more!

East Nashville, Tenn.—The efficiency of Thedford's Black-Draught, the genuine, herb, liver medicine, is vouched for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a grocer of this city. "It is without doubt the best liver medicine, and I don't believe I could get along without it. I take it for sour stomach, headache, bad liver, indigestion, and all other troubles that are the result of a torpid liver. "I have known and used it for years, and can and do highly recommend it to every one. I won't go to bed without it in the house. It will do all it claims to do. I can't say enough for it." Many other men and women throughout the country have found Black-Draught just as Mr Parsons describes—valuable in regulating the liver to its normal functions, and in cleansing the bowels of impurities. Theford's Black-Draught liver medicine is the original and only genuine. Accept no imitations or substitutes. Always ask for Theford's. E. 68 dresswell our way" it Clothing Co. Cleveland, O.

AND THE POOR GUY HAS TO BE A POOR BASEBALL SLAVE WHEN FALLS ON THE WING FOR BACK TO WORK SAFE! By Herbert J. Seligmann. One night in Atlanta, just before John Williams was put on trial on a charge of murdering Nerpgon 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 possessions. He had come after a deliberate attempt had been made to enslave him, to force him, after imprisonment and brutal beating, to work off an entirely fictitious 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 the stranger for the popular dance tunes which 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 dam nigger whipped," and so one white man he held had been caught in 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 wet with perspiration and then took off his coat saying 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 Georgia. Later I heard white men speaking of a paying fines of Negroes convicted of petty offenses, refer to the transaction as "buying niggers"; for the Negro so released 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 prosecutor John. 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 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 coming North gave more than a hint of that feeling in Atlanta, and all his housemates are armed with his chieftain 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 indication of Georgian or Southern jurisdiction any sensory evidence that the ghastly abuse uncovered and the relation that it cannot be punished on the races can be satisfactorily solved solely by "leaving it to the South."—The Nation, New York City. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

(93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than fifty dollars 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 treat it as often as they expect. We must 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. Very truly yours, C. R. Grant.

"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 be held forth in persons grown cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."— Charles Sumner.
