But Tulsa's sense of shame will not restore a single one of the fires sacrificed to ugly race hatred nor should a single one of the structures given to the torch in the mad frenzy on the last few days. Our civilization is on trial in cases like this. We seed army and navy to race Cuba from the plurality of an overland. We dispatch troops to Hayti and San Domingo that order may be upheld and the lives and property of innocent families protected. We protest against crucibles practiced in distant parts of the earth. But we tolerate our own Tulsa! We become almost philosophical over prognage and lynchings. The wanton slaughter of men, women, and children no other reason than that their face are not the same hue as the faces of the majority goes on intermittently with only a formal, conventional protest on our par. No state is privileged to point finger of scorn at any other, for most or them have at one time or another been tarred by the same stick of mob violence. The crime of Tulsa, like most such crimes, had its tragic inspiration in a police case which would not of itself have attracted wide attention. A man was arrested for assault. A speedy trial was in prospect. There was every indication that the law would take its course, with justice reasonably assured. From such sparks are mighty conflagrations started. This is America's concern and America must put a stop to these recurrent outbreaks of race antagonism. For better or worse these races must live side by side and work out a common national destiny. There is no use withing the situation otherwise. If one race deals out injustice to the other, it suffer. If anyone believes that by keeping one race in subjection to the other the problem can be settled speaks without understanding. It up to America to take hold of this matter with firmness and determination and to work intelligently for that better sympathy between the races that shall promote our common peace and welfare. The first step, however, is to bring to trial and punishment every individual, whatever his color, who is responsible for this outrage at Tulsa. There should be an accounting in this Oklahoma city which will show the world that murder and carson are not the approved weapons of democracy in America. This much Tulsa owes to the people of the United States—Cleveland Plain Dealer. (Dem.) RALPH W. TYLER DEAD. COLUMBUS, O.—After a brief illness (heart-trouble), Ralph Wilgera Tyler died here at his home, last week Wednesday evening. He served as fourth auditor of the U. S. treasury, at Washington, D. C., under President Roosevelt and for years previous to that was stenographer to President Brickell of the local Daily Despatch. Tyler was best known as a correspondent for various race newspapers. Much of last year, he resided in Cleveland. Three sons survive him. Chivalrous (?) Southerners. Valdosta. Go.-An effort has been made, recently, to blow up the home of James Speed, an Afro-American switchman employed by the Southern railway, by placing a heavy dynamite charge under his house. Speed and his family were asleep but escaped injury, although the building was partially wrecked. He has been with the railroad, twenty years, and recently received anonymous letters telling him to "give up his job" as white men are being released and need it. An "investigation" of the dynamiting has been started. Dentist Unsexed by a Mob of Brutes. Houston, Texas.-While on his way to church in his automobile with his wife and brother, Dr. W. C. Cockrell, dentist, was abducted by an auto load of "crackers" and taken to a shack in an isolated suburb of the city, either administered and an operation performed to render him steril. Still unconscious the "crackers" left him and came back to town where they phoned for an ambulance.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Southern "Lily-White" Republicans and Democrats Should Be Ignored By The President. JERSEY CITY, N. J.—President Harding, is daily appointing white men to office. The government needs men to occupy the important positions through which it functions. The slowness up to this time shown in recognizing colored voters is very disquieting. The reflection is not union colored voters but upon those who chance to have the appointing power. Some feel that this Administration should go slow in appointing colored people simply because they are colored. The "divine right" of the white voter to hold office in America is as wide spread as was the "divine right" of kings in the days of Louis XVI. In government as in all, the walks of life justice, fair play and impartiality should prevail. Negroes have a right to their voting share of the government patronage. If the Negro's vote is one-tenth of the Republican party vote in the nation, one-tenth of the government's reward in the form of positions is due colored voters. They may not get it and in fact will not get it, but this shows the utter inability of our white voters to be sure when power is lodged in their hands. We shall not at this time criticise Mr. Harding but it is reasonable that he should have used his appointing power in behalf of colored voters are this. If the party machinery is being put to joint by reason of the selfishness of politicians in Congress and out of Congress who desire to reward their white friends at the expense of fairness to the colored race. Mr. Harding should use some lubrications and set the wheel moving. There is a normality in voting as well as normality in other things. Of the Senators to be elected to the U. S. Senate, next fall, those coming from the East need the colored vote. Massachusetts has a Democratic Senator now because a Republican Senator spurned the wishes of colored voters. Senator Lodge is to be re-elected, and he should be, but it also behooves Senator Lodge to bestir himself in behalf of his colored constituency as much as he is in behalf of his white constituency. Senator Prolifichysen is also to be re-elected and when he remembers that New Jersey has a Democratic governor he should do all in his power to keep THE LOTT CAREY. Baptist Hosts Will Convene in New ark, N. J., Tuesday, Aug. 30, to Remain Until Sept. 4th Inclusive The Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission convention will meet this year, in Newark, N. J., upon the invitation of Bethany Baptist church, Dr. E. E. Ricks, Pastor. This convention is one of the most unique bodies of baptists in this country in that at its meetings nothing is considered other than foreign missions. This gathering of baptists is concerned only in giving the gospel to those who have it not and in going to Newark it will not deviate from its constitutional course. It will no doubt interest the public to know that this organization has given to foreign missions more than 80 per cent of all monies coming into its hands since its first session. The increase of its finance has been phenomenal, for at the last session which was the twenty-third, it raised in round numbers about forty thousand dollars. When it was organized, it began work with one missionary and his wife. Today, it has forty-one missionaries in its employment in foreign lands, including Haiti. When it was organized, it operated only in the Congo, Africa, but now it is operating in Liberia, West Africa, Nyassaland, Zululand, East Africa, Nyassaland, co operating in South Africa, operating in South America, and Haiti. The slogan for this year is for at least fifty thousand dollars at the Newark meeting. It is a challenge to Baptists everywhere as to missionary work. Will the challenge be accepted? If so, report at Newark; for the harvest truly is not only great, but also white with ripened grain. Yet the laborers here at home are few, when compared as to numbers and opportunities. The Lott Carey Convention is also an answer to prayer and a challenge to our churches here in America. The above quotation has been prayed too many times and the churches have thought that the laborers were altogether too few, but today there are about forty applications upon the waiting list of our convention for services in foreign lands. Many of these would be accepted and employed, but for the need of increased offerings so as to pay them for service. Will we let this condition exist? Let those who wish to help in the solution of every N UNION I IS STRUGGLE THE COPY FIVE CENTS CRE! Recognition!

Colored men are human in politics like white men. The hope 1 of reward begets loyalty and activity. A disregard of their aspirations begets resentment and sometime resentment eventuates in disaster for those who desire office. What is true of colored voters in New Jersey and Massachusetts is true of them everywhere. The offices long held by colored voters have not yet been given them. Besides those usually held by them additional positions of higher type should have been given them. To refuse to appoint colored men to positions in order that the South, infamously, Democratic, should be satisfied, is treason to colored voters everywhere. The South as a party has no claim on Mr. Harding. Negroes have! By the vicious appeal to Negro blood and race hatred the South attempted to defeat Mr. Harding. To ask him to reward them at the expense of the most loyal of Republican voters, is base on their part-and would be assassine if their request were granted.

Mrs. Fannie Lewis Married. BLUE RAPIDS, Kans.—Judge Adams, of the probate court at Atchison, on Monday, May 16, married Thomas B. Overstreet and Mrs. Fannie Lewis of Elyria, O., at Mrs. Harriett Potter's, 826 Atchison St., that city; Mrs. Potter being a sister-in-law of Mr. Overstreet. He ard his bridge were sweethearts in Kentucky, over forty years ago. Both had married and reared families and were now alone in the world. On the groom's recent visit to Ohio the old love was rekindled with the result above stated. Mr. and Mrs. Overstreet are at home on their little fruit farm on South Lincoln St., this city, where they are still receiving the congratulations of their many friends. Mrs. Overstreet's scores of friends and well-wishers in Cleveland and Ohio, especially "The Old Reliable" Gazette, will be delighted to learn the above and wish both her and her husband Godspeed. ```markdown ``` SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) One Year $2.00 Six Months 1.00 Three Months 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

SATURDAY, June 11th, 1921 The farmers suffered a cut of about 66 per cent in their income, so naturally, they think the rail employees should be willing to take a cut of 10 to 15 per cent. How would you like to have some government bureau take supervision over your business and tell you what prices you may charge and what wages you must pay, and then take a big share of your profits, if you make any, and refuse to share your losses? That is practically the manner in which the government is regulating the railroads today. Mayor W. S. FitzGerald has ordered Director of Law Woods to change the bad policy recently inaugurated at the police court and to see that warrants are issued in all cases wherever discrimination was disclosed, so President W. G. Green of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. informs The Gazette. Now let him stop the distribution of that slanderous and very harmful German propaganda literature. He promised to "look into it," but did he? The mayor of Elyria continues to convince us that he is a real friend of the race. Recently, in delivering an address of welcome to members of our Cleveland K. P. order who assembled in that city, he boldly denounced all attempts to "draw color-lines" and said that he was "a firm believer in equal opportunities being extended to all, regardless of race or color." Mr. Mayor, we salute and felicitate you! Afro-American prisoners in the county jail, for the first time in its history, are segregated, and by a Republican sheriff, too, in the third or fourth tier of cells and two and even three of them placed in one cell. Democratic sheriffs never did this! The report also reaches us that Judge Addams of the Juvenile court has issued an order that restricts the Afro-American probation officer to the handling of cases of our people only. This course is not followed in the case of the Jewish probation officer and others. Why this discrimination, judge? Our local racial organizations should take up these matters at once. NO MORE ONE MAN Democratic editors are finding fault because Ambassador Harvey declared that the United States went into the war solely for self defense while President Harding says we were largely actuated by our interest in civilization and humanity. The criticisms of the Democratic editors, aimed chiefly at Mr. Harvey, demonstrate one important fact—that we now have an administration that can tolerate men whose minds do not always run exactly in the same channel as the President's. This is no longer a one-man government. Freedom of speech and of the press has been restored. OVER THE WHEEL One of the proverbs we learned in early youth was to the effect that "the mill can never grind with the water that has passed." It is too bad that Director of Railroads McAdoo did not realize the significance of this proverb, as applied to railroading. When the whole country was prosperous and shipping lots of goods which brought high prices. McAdoo increased the expenditures without increasing revenues in corresponding degree. As a result, the railroads ran behind financially. The flood of commodities flowing over the railroads during the high prices, was in the nature of water on the wheel of the railroad mill. Mr. McAdoo would not let the roads grind with that water. Now the water has passed, and the roads are in a desperate plight. Too much government interference with business has resulted in the roads being compelled to charge high freight rates at a time when the prices of commodities do not enable the sellers or buyers to pay the charges without embarrassment. A PRIVATE UNDERTAKING Certain Englishmen are upset, because stocks of ammunition made in the United States have been found in the possession of the Sinn Feiners. We were also much concerned during the Civil War because considerable English war munitions were found in Confederate camps. England grew rather bold in that period and supplied the Confederates with vessels of war as a result of which the Alabama claims arose and we shook "Jqin Bull" down for an indemnity of about $15,000,000. The reason for the claims being decided in our favor, of course, was that England was remiss in knowingly permitting the outfitting of ships of war in her harbors for the avowed purpose of preying on Federal commerce and making war on the Union. It has not yet become a principle of international law that munitions can not be sold to a belligerant, by private persons. Of course they run the risk of loss by capture and condemnation as contraband. But so far as is officially known, Ireland is not a belligerant, even if she is in a belligerent mood; and whoever is selling munitions to the Sinn Feiners is engaged in a legal business. It is hardly within the province of this government to prohibit such commerce, a fact which Englishmen better informed on matters of international law undoubtedly appreciate, DR. BYRD'S GREAT VICTORY! Our Dr. Wm. A. Byrd attended the recent Presbyterian General Assembly which met at Winona Lake, Indiana, May 17, and was chosen by a Presbytery (white) and commissioned to make a fight for the blotting out of the color-board of the Presbyterian Church, so that all races should share alike at the hands of the church. He went to the "Assembly ard made the fight and we are pleased to report that he was abundantly successful. That body of one thousand delegates and visitors responded "with a vengeance" to his plea and sent him back home with their approval resting upon his labors. The only fly in the ointment, Dr. Byrd says, was the cringing attitude of certain men of the race from the South who do not yet seem to know that they are free. Their cowardly pleas availed them nothing, however, as the Assembly with a crushing vote ordered the committee to report a merger forever doing away with color-distinctions and also doing away with waste and overlapping in the church's work. Good! for Dr. Byrd. The race needs more of his kind. BY THEIR OWN PETARD. The "horror on the Rhine" is officially declared "off." The lies which were industriously disseminated regarding the conduct of French colored troops in the occupied region were not believed by many outside of Germany, but within Germany they gained considerable credence. The result is that the sanitariums and health resorts along the Rhine valley are doing very little business this summer. The rich Bavarians are going elsewhere to spend their vacations and their money. They have been shown faked films and fed with mendacious propaganda to such an extent that they do not care to run the risk of becoming a part of the "horror." So it results that the government of Baden through Dr. Reuter, state councilor of health, officially announces that there is no "horror." Dr. Reuter declares that "no one has been in any way molested," and that stories of colored soldiers annoying either men or women are "utterly false." "Utterly false" is strong language for a high German official to use in connection with propaganda which has been calcuously disseminated with the convivance if not with the active assistance of the German government. —Cleveland Daily Plain, Dealer, (Dem.)

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 11, 1921 MOONSHINER'S STILL HIDDEN ON BUGGY. Traveled Regular Circuit Like the Old Borgham Mill Made the Rounds. WAYNE, W. Va. — The latest wrinkle in moonshining, one that establishes a precedent for boldness and daring likely to remain unguarded, originated in the Big Sandy country in the mid-19th century. A traveling moonshiner, ingeniously concealed a still by attaching it to a light buggy with which he traveled a regular circuit, brewing the potent whiskey for the farmers much the same as in the days when the old Sorghum mill made the rounds during the cane harvest. The still, attached to the axle, remained hidden when the horse was hitched to the buggy. Coming to a farm, the horse was unhitched, the shafts raised and the still automatically lowered to the ground from under the seat. A fire was lighted and the mash, already prepared by the farmer, was run. At the conclusion of the operation, or if interrupted during the run, the horse was brought forward, the shafts lowered and the innocent buggy with the still safely raised to the compartment under the seat was driven away. The still was worked for months but the secret of the operation being discovered the buggy disappeared from its regular rounds. "BOBBED" HAIR PASSING. London Craze Subsides and Rush to Hair-Dressers Begins. LONDON.—The fashion of cutting women's hair short is waning and many women are searching hair-dressing shops for locks with which to replace those of which they were shorn a few months ago when the "bobbing" craze was at its height. This has created an abnormal demand for hair of all colors. Possessors of rich aurum or pure locks of suitable length can obtain $12 or $15 by submitting to the "bobbing" operation. There is some trony in the fact that many London women who paid five or six shillings a few months ago to have their hair "bobbed" and left the tresses with the hairdresser, not knowing they might have received money for them, are now spending anxious hours in other shops in an often futile "matching up" endeavor. PUBLIC CAUSES BEGGARS. Not an Act of Kindness to Give to Ordinary Run of Baggers ORIMARY Run of Beggars. ALTOA, Pa. "The public is to blame for the large number of beggars on the streets and at the back doors," says Miss Mary G. Davis, probation officer of Blair county, in her annual report to the court. "If the beggars did not meet with success at the homes and on the streets, begging would soon cease," the report continues. "In most cases it is not an act of kindness to give to a beggar. It is bad for the beggar and bad for the community. There are charities enough to care for all those in need." Miss Davis calls attention to the fact that the number of cases brought before juvenile court from Altoa is growing fewer, while in the small towns and townships they are becoming more numerous.

"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 he assunder 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. WHEN the time COMES for* BABY'S photograph LET us take the pictures.

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 full days. The merchant can consider richest a store may 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."

Our long waiting baseball fanflock finally had their ardent desires gratified, when the new Tate Field was opened under auspicious ceremonies that anger well for the future of the sport in the "Fifth City." Elaborate preliminaries marked the ushering in of the season. The big parade created great interest among the natives along the "avenoo." At the park, headed by a 20-piece band the Tates and Keystones marched to the pole and unfurled the flag. The teams and officials were introduced and enthusiasm ran riot. After this Barnes, starry roan cat, took a "curve's strife" which Councilman Bering delivered with cannonball hurd. Branham, elongated hurd "ace" of the Tates, was formed form after the first, when Pittsburgh scored twice, and thereafter he put the smokemen down in one-two-three order. "Babe" Boyd opened the second with a long triple to right-center and the Tates romped into a lead that was never threatened. Score, 8 to 3. A first day crowd of 2,000 saw the game.

A Great Finish. Before a wild crowd of four thousand baseball fanatics, last Sunday, the Tate Stars won an 8 to 7 victory over the Keystones in a game marked with great excitement. For five innings "Farmer" Brady of the Tates pitched sterling ball, but in the sixth his wildness and several timely hits allowed the visitors to take a three-run lead and sent him from the mound. The local boys were in a hitting mood though, and in the seventh drove in three runs and took the pole again, only to see the Keystones tie it up in the eighth. In the last of the ninth, with interest at fever heat, Cannady was out on an infield tap, Johnson drove a sizzling single thru the box and promptly stole second. Taylor was passed and "Babe" Boyd broke up the game with a terrific line drive over second. Johnson's fielding at second for the Tates was a feature.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C. Ford, leading residents of Grand Rapids, Mich., parents of Mrs. J. R. Philen, of Bessmer Ave., paid The Gazette sanctum a very pleasant visit, last Saturday afternoon.

He will enter the real estate business, many thousand acres of fine northern Michigan farming land having been placed at his disposal to sell to our people. He is now organizing his force of helpers. Mrs. Grace Willis Thompson, of Earle Ave., returned recently from Chicago, where she sang several solos on different evenings of the Westside Festival of Music held in Original Providence Baptist church, Rev. Boston J. Prince, formerly of this city pastor. Mrs. Thompson had his first concert in Meyerbeer's "Shaddw Dance" winning her a double encore from an audience that included some of the leading music critics of that city. Our people of this city are justly proud of their favorite soprano soloist and the many successes she has won here and wherever she has sung.

Attendants were Mrs. Minerva Taylor and Mrs. Mattie Hildreth, sister of the bride. Other sisters of the bride Secretary Coleman A. Lewis. Among the noteworthy incidents connected with the dedication of Tate Field was the hearty applause that greeted the presentation of Coleman A. Lewis to the crowd. Long a resident of Cleveland, he has by his sturling qualities made himself a popular figure in lodge and other circles, and no small amount of the success attending the Tate Baseball Co. has been due to the hard-working, young secretary-treasurer. Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, has come to bat again with the statement that after the champ's expected victory, July 2, he would be willing to take on Harry Willis, Kid Norfolk, et al. We hope so! On June 11, 12, 13 and 14 the Chicago Giants will meet the Tates here and on June 16 and 17 the Columbus Buckeyes with John Lloyd in the lipe-up will be here.

The meeting of Central Ave. business men at the Central Ave, Bathhouse, Friday evening, in the interest of improvements in the avenue, between E. 14th and E. 55th streets, was presided over by Councilman Thos. W. Fleming of ward 11. The speakers were, in addition to the chairman, representatives of Director of Public Service Alex. Bernstein and of the street railroad commissioner; Wm. R. Conners, secretary of our Welfare League, and the editor of The Gazette. The meeting voted unanimously in favor of the improvements—a new sewer, in the next four months, to be built in three or four sections, all sections to be started at the same time; new temporary street car tracks, this fall, for cars during the winter season; new tracks, better street cars and service, next year, as soon as the road bed in the avenue is fully settled. Central cars will be routed to Scovill Ave, between E. 14th and E. 55th streets until this fall, when the new temporary tracks for the winter season are installed.

WEAK, NERVOUS, ALL RUN-DOWN Missouri Lady Suffered Until She Tried Cardui.—Says "Result Was Surprising."—Got Along Fine, Became Normal and Healthy. Springfield Mo.—"My back was so weak I could hardly stand up, and I would have bearing-down pains and was not well at any time," says Mrs. D. V. Williams, wife of a well-known farmer on Route 6, this place. "I kept getting headaches and having to go to bed," continues Mrs. Williams describing the troubles from which she obtained relief through the use of Cardui. "I bushland having heard of Cardui, proposed getting it for me. "I saw after taking some Cardui... that I was improving. The result was surprising. I felt like a different person. "Later I suffered from weakness and weak back, and felt all run-down. I did not rest well at night, I was so nervous and cross. My husband said he would get me some Cardul, which I bought. The doctor said I got along fine. I was in good healthy condition. I cannot say too much for it." Thousands of women have suffered as Mrs. Williams describes, until they found relief from the use of Cardul. The doctor should not hesitate to try Cardul if troubled with womanly ailments.

Southern American Democrats Despoil Little Black Republic Their Brutalities and Atrocities force the Natives to Rebell—They were not "Bandits" No graver indictment of an American Administration has ever been made than is contained in the temperately written thirty-thousand-word Memoir of the Delegates to the United States of the Haitian Patriotic Union outlining the history of the American Occupation in Haiti which was presented to the Department of State and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, last week. Despite its moderation, it more than confirms every charge made in The Nation in the last year. The first official pronouncement from the Haitians themselves—for a rigid military censorship sealed their lips for five years—it establishes that our conquest of Haiti was neither justified under any principle of international law nor sanctioned by any conceivable necessity. It should finally put an end to all the excuses alleged in our defense—such as restoration of American interests, restoration of order, suppression of banditry, had Haitian finances, etc. The report again makes plain that the local revolutionary disturbances of July 28, 1915, merely furnished a long-sought pretext for intervention, that our interests were in no wimperil, that far from there being disorder when the marines landed it was their brutalities which created and then perpetuated the previously non-existent "Cacism," a banditry not of crime but of revolt against the alien invasion. The state of the Haitian finances is lucidly set forth—the they were by no means in a tangle; the external and internal of the country had always been fully paid until the American Occupation inaugurated an era of mismanagement, put it charitably) quite unprecedented under Haitian control. The appended list of atrocities it is difficult for an American to read without shame and horror. It does not purport to be a record. On the contrary it is limited to the comparatively few cases called, in writing, to the attention of the Naval Court of Inquiry sent to Haiti last fall by Secretary Daniels to offset Senator Harding's campaign attack, and published, upon the refusal of the Court to consider them, in the newspapers of Port-au-prince. Murder of women and children, wholesale killing of prisoners, torture with red hot irons, the "water cure," arson, robbery, violence of every kind—they constitute an everlasting stain on American honor. If this report does not arouse the American people then its conscience is indeed dead. The Nation cannot believe that it is and that all our professions of good faith, decency, fair play, all our great and honorable traditions upheld for nearly a century and a half, can be thus lightly cast on the scrap-heap. Here is a small and inoffensive country, next to our own the oldest republic in this hemisphere, self-governing for 111 years, a republic which achieved one sort of freedom fifty years before our own (for it abolished slavery when it became independent), made the victim of wholly wanton, brutal, militaristic conquest. These are facts that cannot be whitewashed, propagandized, or lied away. It matters little what President Harding said at the foot of the statue of Bolivar, or what fine phrases President Wilson uttered. What really counts—the acid test—is what we have done and what we should do to little Haiti, the one country which, by a curious irony, made a really substantial contribution to the cause of Bolivar and South American freedom while we stood aloof, The American Occupation in Haiti forbade a public meeting of the Union Patriotique d'Haiti, scheduled for March 27, the day of Secretary of Navy Denby's visit. But they permitted a "voudu dance" in the market place of Port-au-Prince, which was carefully filmed by a battery of American motion picture photographers. It is important to note that the vouduism of which much has been made by our imperialist propaganda as justification for anything we may choose to do in Haiti, has been encouraged by the American Occupation. Since the days of Toussaint L'Ouverture, the Haitian government has legislated against any exhibition of the fantastic and primitive rites practiced by a very small fraction among the most ignorant of the Haitian masses, and the Haitian civil code, for which American military law has been substituted since 1915, expressly forbade it. No such demonstration as regaled Mr. Denby on his recent visit had ever taken place in the Haitian capital previous to the American Occupation. The purpose of staging it at such a time is wholly clear. Incidentally, Mr. Denby landed on a Sunday morning and left Port-au-Prince early the DO YOU KNOW WHY --- There seems To Be No End To The Possibilities Of Parcel Post 4 DO YOU KNOW WHY --- There seems to be NO END to the Possibilities of Parter Post!

The Haitian newspapers report that he conversed for twenty minutes with Dartiguenave, the President who was imposed on the country by our Marine Corps, but that otherwise he talked with no responsible Haitians, with no member of the Union Patriotique, nor took the occasion to inform himself in any way of the Haitians' grievance*. But a Washington dispatch printed in New York newspapers of April 5 reports that on his return "Mr. *Denby* said he made a careful study of the situation in Haiti and found the Marine posts well conducted and that a spirit of cordiality* exists between natives and the devil dogs." Secretary Denby's instantaneous characterization of the charges contained in the Haitian Memoir as "rot" refutes itself. Doubless he had not even read the Memoir; otherwise he would have displayed more caution in the face of so-well documented, so factual an indictment. Moreover, the Secretary of the Navy directly contravenes the position taken by his chief, President Harding, during the recent campaign. Mr. Denby is a former marine. Apparently he considers that the honor of the Marine Corps must be vindicated by an absolute denial that any marines are in any way guilty of wrongdoing. This is a poor conception of his office. The men who commit atrocities are the ones who "besmirch the uniform"—not those who try for the sake of the good name of the entire organization and of the country to bring the offenders to book. According to the men who commit atrocities, twenty-four hours in Port-au-Prince and for Santo Domingo. He declares that in many of the villages visited he saw "arches and banners carrying the legend 'Vive La Occupation'" (sic). Possibly. But if so they were written in Marine French. Of course one knows how happy the conquered always are under a foreign military occupation. Remember those happy Belgians! No impartial reader of the Haitian Memoir will doubt the truth of its charges, especially in the face of the obvious avoidance of them by the two whitewash inquiries instituted by Secretary Daniels. We need an honest, fearless, searching Congressional investigation to establish the character not only of the military but of the civil administration in Haiti for the last six years, and of the 'real causes which prompted the overthrow of Haitian sovereignty—an act fundamentally incompatible with every American tradition. Such an inquiry would furnish the basis for future American policy in the Caribbean. The Nation feels certain that it would establish that we have no right whatever in Haiti, that our actions are justified, and that we are the Haitian role as well as ourselves restoration of the edifice we have shattered besides retirement and reparation. Denials, whitewash, and propaganda cannot obscure the fundamental issue. Haiti must not become either America's Belgium or America's Ireland.—The Nation, New York City, Oswald Garrison Villard, editor. GOLD FROM SEA WATER? New Form of German Propaganda Coming to America. BERLIN.—A "Chemical Research Association" has been organized in Berlin for the purpose of extracting gold from sea water. According to the visionary association's prospectus, each ton of water in the ocean contains about one grain of gold in solution. From this it is estimated that $800 billion tons of gold—500,000 times as much as has been mined altogether—is floating around in the ocean waiting to be taken out and converted to man's use. The organization has been soliciting "members" in the United States and elsewhere at $10 per head. Wyoming Builds New Type Road. CHBYENNE, Wyo.-On a section of the Lincoln highway in Wyoming it is proposed to build a concrete road with pre-cast slabs which are to be hauled from the factory to the road in motor trucks. Since the method is an experiment, it difficulty has been encountered in securing the approval of the United States bureau of public roads, which approval is necessary to secure federal aid. It has been proposed to build a short section by the pre-cast slab method and subject it to traffic and climatic tests. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 11, 1921 Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Leads the Country in Legislation 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. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6285. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6286. County's right of action against member of mob. 6287. County's right of action against another county. 6288. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob 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 violence, misses or in any other manner, may be hereafter provided, a sum not 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 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. 182 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if such injury occurred, such sum shall unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children shall be distributed among the next 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 have a like right of 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 matters for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at 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. By mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. 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 and must do them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcyr 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 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.
