THE LOTT CAREY. Baptist Hosts Will Convene in New Nark, 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 20 percent of all monies coming into its hands since its first session. The inquisition of its ministers; for the at last session which was the twenty-third, it raised number rounds 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 Hawaii. When it was organized, it operated only in the Congo, Africa. West Africa, Nyasaland, Zululand, East and Central Africa, co operating in South Africa, operating in South America and halten. The slogan for this year is for at least baptists will dollars at the Newark meeting. It is a challenge to Baptists where as to be accepted to the baptism? If so, report at Newark; for the harvest truly is not only 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 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 for the 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 human problem join in with us in sending the gospel of Christ into the neglected portions of the world which alone can solve every question. Meet the Lott Carey Convention in Newark and study its method of work and spirit and help the work of the Kingdom on from conquest to conquest. "AMERICA FIRST" During the past five years this country has imported in the aggregate 4,228,280,000 pounds of vegetable oils, or an annual average of 845,200,000 pounds. The total domestication of vegetable oils in the United States runs from 2,000,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 pounds per year, of which about 40 per cent come from cottonseed and 25 per cent from linseed. Exports for the five-year period averaged nearly 300,000,000 pounds of which animal oils made up about 24 per cent. The chief raw materials used in the production of vegetable oils are cottonseed, linseed, peanuts, corn, olives, emerald beans, cocoanuts, soya bean rape seed, mustard seed, and Chinese nut. Almost all of these raw materials are procurable from the United States or its possessions, such as the Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, etc, and under a proper system of protection which would encourage the raising of these raw materials to a point where they would meet the demand of our oil manufacturers, the United States and its possessions could become self-sufficient in the production of vegetable oils, in addition to developing a large export trade. In view of their importance as a part of our food supply it is highly probable that the forthcoming general tariff revision of the Republican party far greater attention will be paid to the industry which will be taken to assure the United States a command position in the world's oil trade. For example, our average imports of soya bean oil have been over 210,000,000 pounds, annually. Yet there are large areas of land in this country where the soya bean can be raised, and it could be handled by cottonseed oil mills during the otherwise slack season. Of the fats and oils produced from cocoanuts we have been importing 388,000,000 pounds annually, yet by paying proper attention to our tropical areas, and encouraging to the utmost the raising of cocoanuts and would confine this great business largely to the American family. And the same is largely true of palm oils. In the soya oil business, Sannan is our chief and most aggressive opponent. The Netherlands leads the world in supplying us with cocoa butter. Spain and Italy supply the bulk of our purchases of olive oil. From British West Africa comes 90 and per cent of our palm oil. And China and Jannan command the United States trade in rapeseed, peanut, linseed, cottonseed and Chinese nut oils. Under present conditions, if we should unfortunately be compelled to our contries versus Jannan the price of food oils in the United States would go soaring, just as the price of dyestuffs reached rarefied heights after Germany was blocked. That is the penalty of placing too much dependence on another country and not taking precautions to be self-sufficient in basic industries. WETS TO PARADE 300,000 Expected in New York Protest. March. NEW YORK CITY—Frank C. Drake, art director of the New York World, put one little "little" of New York paper calling for 100,000 men to march with him July 4 in a parade to protest against "Volsteadism." He got his 100,000 and more, including thousands of women. The result of that little ad, which cost him $36, Drake now figures, will be that at least 300,000 persons will be in the line of march. Now every newspaper in New York is giving much space to the parade. From a tiny raid it has grown into a thing of tremendous news interest. This parade is no joke. The police are trying to bring back the saloon. The saloon is dead and it deserves its death. But it's a movement of real protest against the total loss of personal liberty." Women volunteers are coming so fast that a Woman's brigade is being formed, with Miss Belle Norton as leader. READ IT! A stirring editorial on the Tulsa riots appears in the NATION for June 15, and will be followed by reports from the scene by a special correspondent of that publication. It also carries an open letter by Robert K. Kerlin to Governor McRea of Arkansas, Mr. Kerlin, who is a southerner by birth and a member of the faculty of a Virginia military academy, makes an impressive plea for a pardon for the Afro-Americans (Elaine victims) of Phillips county. He quotes the Magna Charta, the Federal Constitution, and the Christian Bible as all forbidding the execution of those men, and presents extracts from the evidence of the case which testify to forced confessions. The NATION publishes in nearly every issue some material on race questions. The accounts from Tulsa appear in the issue for June 22, published yesterday. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Perpetrated In the Little Mulatto Republic As In Haiti, So In Santo Domingo-Wilson's Southern Democratic Marines On the Editor, The Nation, Sir: The United States of America will never Americanize Santo Domingo. The military may give way to a disguised civil occupation, but if the latter lasts one hundred years, it will never be other than an alien occupation. And a good reason there is—the Dominicans are, the original Americans of European origin, and they know it. The Columbus family did not make a mistake, but in Santo Domingo City, in my sojourn of two months, covering the entire island as an American commercial travelers. I did not meet a single Dominican who did not want the Americans out, bag and baggage. Moreover, I did not meet one "native" who treated me discourteously—more than I can say for the treatment accorded by my own people. The nearest apperance of the Dominican was from a gentleman whose brother had been handled most brutally by our national representatives. After inveighing passionately against the conquerors, he perceived my embarrassment and placed an order with me. Sunday evening, October 24, I got my first insight into what a foreign military occupation means to sensitive Dominicans. Walking up the street that leads from the barracks to the Parque Colon, I encountered two marines returning to their quarters. As they espied me, one said loudly, "Wait a minute; let me get this s. o. a. b." As he crossed the street, he asked me roughly, by way of introduction, in five per cent plugin Spanish, to tell all the whim of what I probably avoided a two-to-one streetbrawl by answering him in English. The fellow was evidently surprised, for he immediately explained how he and his pal had just been set upon in the streets. Returning to the hotel, I had been standing in front of it for a few moments when I noticed some colored boys and a marine jumping out and grabbing one. The marine was about to give him a good heating with the stick the boy was carrying when I intervened. The soldier told me that some boys had just stoned an officer, riding up Calle Separación coach, the marine might have officer, the model might have shot the boys, but refrained. The fact that this boy was carrying a stick was enough evidence for the marine, though the latter admitted that he had not seen the boy before. At my suggestion the exponent of the rights of powerful nations finally released the boy, with a shove in the neck and an aspersion on his parentage. The "natives" in the interior fare much worse. I venture. I talked with a marine on the wharf one day and he told me about their "free-hand" when in the country. When the boys took them. When they wanted a pig or a turkey they took it. Of course, they paid for the thines when they could find the owner. Often they do not find him. Not only is it the spirit of our Military Occupation, from officer down to private, to bully the Dominican, but it is also its apparent desire to play "dog-in-the-manger." One morning in Puerto Plata I found on the mole an exchange of words in progress between a marine and some Dominicans. A flat freight car, loaded with some projecting machinery, had come to a halt between a large army truck and an army Ford. The marine would not move his Ford without authorization from his commanding officer. Finally I suggested that he permit the Dominicans to move the Ford several inches over on the sidewalk. He assented in ill humor when the Dominican boss agreed to pay any damages. In one minute the car had been pushed by and the Ford placed back in the street. About the first of December I went over to Barahona to visit the trade. There were restrictions on at the time, due to the small-pox epidemic in Haiti. I was permitted to land in the morning. When I purchased my boat to Barahona to attend to present and leave with certificate he obtained from the Provost Marshal. After having lunch on board ship I was prevented from going to town again. The permit I had got that morning from the Deminican Sandad didn't count—the "native" service was permitted to function just out of good-will, the marine assured me. The holding of a ticket was not sufficient. I had to get a permit from Captain M. Luckily for me Captain M. was on board, being with some guests, men home, some guests, men in saloon and waited. I waited for him to eat his meal. I waited for him to smoke his cigars. I waited for him to finish his discourses on fine liquors. He knew I was waiting for him to give me one minute and his magic signature. He knew I had THE COPY FIVE CENTS hingo! after Outrage the Little Mulatto public Santo Domingo—Wilson's static Marines On the mapage. business ashore, and he knew that commercial travelers did not wait over ten days for the next boat in order to work the village of Barahona. He knew that the boat was leaving that afternoon. I ask the reader how Dominicans were when officers and gentlemen representing American power take pleasure in displaying to American travelers their pompous and petty authority? In Puerto Plata I met a young captain just arrived from the United States. At noon he was panting like a fish out of water, and he kept assuring me that he was going to get drunk. His face was as chubby as his talk was silly. He told me several times that he was the ranking officer there and he could throw them all in jail if he wanted to. Having had several years Spanish speaking country, he spoke Spanish, now it kept pronouncing loudly one of the coarsest words in the language. The presence of Dominican ladies did not interrupt the emphatic flow of his Spanish. At supper time he returned; drunk enough to enjoy saying monotonously, "I'm drunk; Christ, I'm drunk." Here was a fair sample of the superior American, just arrived, with superiority undimmed: and the Dominicans smiled quietly and sadly. Two days later I arrived at the Hotel Aleman, Sanchez. There I found another sample of the official exponent of American superiority and fitness to rule weak nations. This captain was leaving, and was indulging in the apparently favorite pastime of American marine officers of getting drunk. It was indeed a pretty spectacle to sit smoking in old Hagan's dining-room vestibule, and see this overgrown boy, an officer, get more and more bleary eyed, and sillier and sillier, until he could scarcely raise his eyelids and move his tongue. Yet withal this mean, petty, and unintelligent spirit animating the military, Dominicans dare not protest too strongly, or they will get what Horacio Blanco Fombona got, and others before him. One week in November this young man published on the front page of his review, Letras, a photograph of a Dominican whose chest had been fearfully seared by American soldiers, using Belgian-Congo, or Prussian-Belgian methods of eliciting information. All at once, the office of Letras was invaded by armed soldiers and closed up, and Mr. Fombona got free board and lodging in prison at Dominican expense. The last square should entail a surprise with an armed sentry—armed with a high-power rifle—was sent to pace before it, night and day—at Dominican expense. Several weeks later Mr. Fombona was let out with a fine and a couple of weeks to clear out of the latest territorial acquisition of the United States of America. No one who ever talked with Fombona, as I did, would ever have considered this writer and poet anything but a sensitively patriotic gentleman. The people who are now holding the reins in Santo Domingo through steel and gunpowder had better return to the United States. Law and order need to be maintained here in more extended regions where lynching bees are as regular as every fourth day. If they want to organize street-cleaning brigades there is more work relatively, in New York to develop Domingo City. If they want to develop Kensington, Philadelphia, will him take the attention for a decade. If they want to develop a good system of schools, let them go to Delaware, or to any state in the South. If they want to raise the standard of well-being of a Caribbean people, Porto Rico, our Porto Rico, cries out most pitifully, Infested with disease, beggary, and utter human degradation, despite the countless macadam roads, that island needs all the energy we have to spare. For twenty years we have been trying to Americanize, that place, and if Human happiness is a measure of our intentions, fifty years with undivided energy before the poor classes are as happy, as well fed, as self-respecting as the poor classes of Santo Domingo. PHILIP DOUGLASS. in "The Nation," N. Y. City. Executing The Six Delayed. LITTLE ROCK, Ark—The state supreme court, last week Thursday, refused to grant an immediate writ of prohibition against orders of the local chancery court holding up execution of the six Elaine Afro-American mob victims, who were to have been electrocuted, last Friday. Instead, the court granted their appeal for a postponement until Monday to give them an opportunity to prepare a defense. The chancery court case was to come up for hearing, last Friday.

SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1921. The Wilson administration left a condition (as far as our people are concerned) at the capital of the nation that "beggars description." Many discouraging things of racial concern are happening, these unfortunate times, but do not lose courage. "It is always darkest just before dawn." It is quietly talked in Washington, D. C., that prominent Negro political leaders of the South (Henry Lincoln Johnson not included) have agreed to accept appointments out of their states and leave the positions in their states to white Republicans and others. This rumor is based largely on the Perry W. Howard appointment. Let's wait and see, before jumping to conclusions. --- About 200 of our people and 50 whites were injured in the recent Tulsa, Okla., riot, many more injured and thousands of dollars worth of property destroyed by fire, etc. The mobocrats and lynch-murders will now proceed to arrest, jail and "try" the innocent victims who survived their barbaric assaults and endeavor to place all the blame on them. "Twas ever thus, in the South, Gov. Robertson of Oklahoma characterizes the riot as "damnable and inexcusable." We quite agree with him and Gov. Dorsey of Georgia who feels the same toward the South's notorious "pastime." James Weldon Johnson, associate editor of the N. Y. Age and secretary of the N. A. A. C. P, says "the one man national Negro organizations should go." If the members of the N. A. A. C. P knew how much of their hard-earned cash was being paid to the four or five secretaries of that organization and to Dr. W. E. B. DuBois we feel sure that one or two of them would "go." And if those salaries are not cut down and soon, too, or the number of secretaries lessened it is barely possible that the N. A. A. C. P, which is doing good work, will "go" sooner than any of us expect, and that would be a distinct loss to the race. Certainly no one will question the fairness of the statement by President Samuel Rea of the Pennsylvania Railroad, that the government could help the roads by paying the amount due them. Ever since the government incurred obligations to the roads as a result of taking them over and operating them, the payment of the money due has been deferred by means of that endless system of red tape that characterizes most governmental business. No individual business man would expect to get along successfully if his large creditors indefinitely postponed payment. The railroads are in a similar situation. The government, acting through the Wilson administration, took over the roads without the consent of the owners. Just obligations accruing as a consequence of that action will ultimately be paid, but what the roads want is payment at a time when they are in such dire need of cash. AFRO-AMERICAN APPOINTMENTS Ex-Lieut. Henry O. Flipper's salary is "much less than $5,000" and he has no "private secretary," so he wrote the editor of The Gazette soon after his appointment to a place in the U. S. Department of the Interior, some weeks ago. "Col." Phil. H. Brown's salary, as a Commissioner of Conciliation in the U. S. Department of Labor, is $4100 with a 'prospect of a raise to $5,000, July 1, 1921. Atty. Perry W. Howard's salary, as a Special Assistant to the U. S. Attorney General, is $4100 with the prospect of a raise to $5,000, July 1, 1921. These are our only three Harding administration appointments to date, but there will undoubtedly be more. Meantime, there is no good reason why any of our people (except the hungry job-hunters hanging around Washington, D. C., and there are too many of them) should "howl themselves white in the face" because President Harding has not appointed some Afro-Americans to office. The fact is he has made only a few appointments of any kind and they are personal appointments, like his family physician and private secretary, and filled a few of the most important posts abroad like the ambassadorships to England, France and China. PROTECTION BY TARIFF RATES. The president of the American Woolen Company is reported as stating that tariff and other legislation should be so drawn as to permit the ready entrance into this country of such dyes as are not now available from domestic sources. It is unfortunate that a man of such prominence in the industrial world should take a position of that sort. It is not only inimical to the future prosperity of his own business, but the principle involved vitally affects the industrial independence of all manufacturers who would suffer competition from abroad were the tariff wall to be entirely removed. The reason the dyestuff industry is so firmly established in the United States today is that the war put a complete stop to German imports; that is it offered protection under which an infant American industry might thrive. In the months preceding the erection of our own dyeworks everybody knows the situation. Proper dye were not to be had and clothing suffered as a consequence. Without an independent dye industry of our own those conditions would return the moment a war interrupted communication with Europe. Our dye experts are making progress in the art and doubtless will soon be able to produce every preparation for which we now look to Germany. But the moment protection in the form of high tariff impests is denied our manufacturers the cheap foreign product will flood the American market and effectively stifle efforts to extend our output. The American Woolen Company may be put to some annoyance now to obtain every color it needs in its business but it is to its interest to encourage in every possible way the complete mastery of the dye industry by American concerns. Such encouragements must include the prohibition of unrestricted foreign competition. HARDING NOT TO BLAME. The effort of some of our people, especially some of our newspapers, to place at President Warren G. Harding's door the blame, if there be such, for the reduction of several of the southern states' representation in the next Republican National Convention is rather far-fetched, to say the least. It is a well-known fact that even during last fall's campaign, Mr. Harding refused to dominate or interfere with the work of the Republican National Committee, and has, to date, maintained this position. Then, too, this matter of the reduction of southern representation in Republican National Conventions in the hands of one of the National Committee's subcommittees for a year or more with instructions to outline just the action taken. The Republican Nations Committee, and it alone, is responsible, and not the President. Another thing, many of our men, women and newspapers seem to feel that the reduction ordered strikes our people only. That is not true! Other fact they have apparently lost sight of are, (1) the barter of southern delegates' votes in National Republican Conventions for years, (2) the acceptance of large sums of money from candidates for the Republican nomination for the presidency by both white and colored delegates from the South, and (3) the scandals that have invariably followed. These are some of the things that have brought about the reduction of representation complained of. Last fall's experiences, along the lines reported, are still so fresh in the minds of all that it is not necessary to do more than refer to them. Now then, is the effort to place, at the door of President Harding, responsibility for the reduction reasonable, wise or right? The President, in conversation with the writer, Monday noon of this week, in the executive offices of the White House commended our people in the strongest possible manner for their "loyalty and patience," and is undoubtedly anxious to do all that he can, as rapidly as possible under the circumstances, to promote our interests as well as those of the Republican party and the country at large. We are not going to encourage this feeling and promote vital racial interests by undertaking THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND. OHIO, JUNE 18, 1921 to saddle on him the blame for the Republican National Committee's reduction of several southern state's representation in future Republican National Conventions. BEAUTY AIDS FOR DARK COMPLEXIONS How Art Improves Upon Nature WAS IT THE SPIRIT OF MRS. CONWELL? HE TALKS WITH "SPIRIT" Three Years After Death of Wife Saw Form Sitting on Side of Bed In Morning-Visits Continued and Conversation and Tests Engaged in. NEW YORK—Some time ago it was declared in widely published accounts that Dr. Russell H. Conwell, a man prominent in the educational and religious life of America, had seen an ethereal form which was strikingly like his dead wife. The account which Dr. Conwell declares woefully misrepresented the incident attracted considerable notice, particularly from believers in spiritism. In a published article he denies having made the statement that he had seen the spirit of his dead wife and declares that he is not acquainted with any spiritual medium and never consulted one. Three years after the death of Mrs. Conwell, he proceeds in effect, he begins to see a form sitting on the side of his bed every morning when he awoke. At first he attributed it to some effect of overwork on his eyesight. After many weeks, however, the form became so much like his wife that he consulted physicians who told him that if he would ease up in his work the vision would disappear. The figure continued to appear, becoming clearer until at length his wife's natural smile and her voice were distinct. He then began trying experiments with himself to determine whether he was in any abnormal condition. Although these experiments indicated a healthy condition of mind and body he regarded the vision as so surely a figment of his mind that he laughed at it and told the figure: "I know this is not you. Please let me test this." The figure seemed to consent and in answer to his question told him where his army discharge papers that had been lost for 25 years were to be found. Going to the place indicated by the seeming voice conversation, he found a box containing the papers behind a shelf full of old boks. The following morning the figure was more distinct than ever and seemed to laugh over his discovery. He inquired if she would come again the next morning and let him test the matter further. She laughingly said she could come once more. Still believing that he was playing with a hallucination, he requested a servant girl to hide a gold pen and holder which had been presented to him by the late Mrs. Conwell, emphatically directing that he was to be given no hint of the hiding place. The next morning there again sat the form as distinct as often in life his wife had sat beside him. Arising in bed to look closely he asked: "Do you know where my gold pen is?" She seemed pleased as with a joke and answered: "Of course I know. Get out of bed and I will show you where it is." The figure led him to a closet in which was a shelf for medicine bottles. She pointed to the closet and when he opened the door impatiently indicated with her hand the far end of the shelf. He removed the bottles and reached far back along the shelf and his hand fell on the penholder. When he stepped down from the chair which he had mounted, the figure was gone. He has seen it no more since, although he has tried many ways to bring it back. Some of his friends have sought to explain the strange appearance by saying that it was surely the spirit of his wife. Others say it was a satanic spirit imitating her—which is equally difficult to believe. Others again declare it to have been a case of mental exaltation wherein he had unconscious telepathic communication with the mind of the girl who hid the pen. Still others regard it as a case of instinctive "sense of presence" which, as in chemistry, impressed on his mind the direction and presence of the pen he had habitually used. Dr. Conwell himself does not consider the phenomenon satisfactorily explained by any of these hypotheses. While he believes fully in the truth of the Bible narratives concerning the visits of the angels and that the spirits of the dead "are the angels of God", yet he does not believe that they are subject to the call of men on the earth and he cannot admit to himself that the form he saw was actually his wife. He is prayerfully and calmly waiting for another appearance when he will feel the importance of making more careful scientific tests. NEW YORK BUYS RADIUM. First Purchase By Any State For Social Utility Purchase ALBANY, N. Y.—Purchase by New York State of two and quarter grains of radium, the largest commercial transaction of its kind ever made, and the first radium purchase by any State for a social utility purpose, was announced recently. It was made possible through an appropriation of $225,000 by the 1920 Legislature. The radium will be used in research work in the New York State Institute for Malignant Disease under direction of Dr. H. R. Gaylord and his staff in Buffalo. It is an American product mined in the Colorado desert. The two and one-quarter grains was extracted from 625 tons of carnotite ore. An equal bulk of coal and chemicals reduced the ore to two and one-quarter grams.

Apparatus devis- especially for this by Dr. Wullyamoz includes a table, a fluorescope and surgical instruments such as pincers, forceps, needles and curettes—all having the peculiarity that they are bent at right angles. The surgeon utilizes the X-rays during the operation, seeing the body as a translucent substance. He can not, however, use surgical instruments of the usual form, since their shadows would mask, during the operation, that of the foreign body that he wishes to reach. So Dr. Wullyamoz has adopted the curious device of bending them at right angles. Thanks to this peculiarity, the operator directs his scalpel or forceps with precision. It is sufficient, after having centered the bulb and ascertained by two radioscopic examinations at right angles, the exact position of the bullet, to place the patient in such an attitude that the shadow of the bullet or fragment of shell coincides with that of his probe. Then he cuts the skin at the point so determined, places his forceps in the incision, causing the shadow of its end to fall on that of the bullet and thrusts it in vertically. When the forceps touch the foreign body he opens them and grasps it. Extraction is accomplished in this way with great rapidity and certainty, with a bullet of any kind whatever in less than a minute and without injury to the surrounding tissues. THE PYRAMIDS. Those in Egypt Built 3000 B. C. as Royal Monuments. Pyramids have been built in many parts of the world, but those of Egypt are usually meant by the general term. These pyramids are thought to have been built from about 3,000 B. C. The largest is that of Cheops, which was originally 481 feet high and 756 feet square, covering more than 13 acres of ground. It is generally believed that the pyramids were built as sepulchral monuments for the kings but some writers have maintained that Cheops was built as an astronomical observatory. Herodotus, an ancient Greek historian, estimated that it required 100,000 men 10 years to construct a causeway for the transportation of the stone for this one pyramid, and that the labor of the same number of men was required for 20 years to complete the structure.

Had no voice been raised against the law, and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and gullotines decide our least disputes.

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 ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not loved 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.

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."

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.

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.

Now comes the rumor from a reliable source that some "cracker" (southern) woman at Cleveland's public school headquarters is announcing that no more of our women will be appointed school-teachers, etc., etc. Of course she is assuming authority (to speak) she does not possess and should be stopped.

"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." The Chicago Giants of our National Baseball League blew in this burg, last Saturday, all set to run away with the latest entry in our big circuit, but met with a rude awakening. The Tates wielded their war-clubs with telling effect, clouting the offerings of the veteran Walter Ball to all corners of the lot, and garnering sixteen hits for a total of twenty-eight bases. Camady hurled a nice game, and the defense weakened and was succeeded by Brady. Threatening weather kept the attendance down to 1400. Saturday score, 8 to 7. Batt.: Ball and Ray; Camady, Brady and Barnes. Sam Picks the Frenchman. Manhasset, N. Y.-Sparring partners, who have entered the ring for workouts with Georges Carpentier, declare that Dempsey's chances of a win over the French champ are extremely slim. Sam McVey, veteran heavyweight, who has known Georges since he began his ring career, bears out the statement concerning his strong right arm and emphatically predicts that Dempsey will experience unconsciousness on July 2. Some Victory! A great throng of five thousand enthusiastic rooters wended their way out of Tate Field, last Sunday, declaring that Jim Taylor's boys are the "fightingest" club they ever saw. "Big" Taylor and "Ace" Branham waged a red-hot pitcher battle for eight innings, the "Chi" man having a slight edge up to that point, altho Branham's wild throw was the cause of one of the visitor's run. In the last of the ninth, with Chicago leading two to one, and thousands clamoring for a local victory, the Tates proceeded to show their "spirit" to up, up, up a Texas-league back of second, Williams beat out a bunt down the third base line, Cannady sacrificed them along and Johnson clotted a double against the right-field fence and a great game was won. Branham fanned nine and walked one. Miles and Ellis got four of the Tate hits, while Jeffries starred for Chicago. Score, 3 to 2. Batt: Branham, Brady and Barnes; Taylor and Ray. The Post drum corps dance at Byrton Castle, last week Thursday evening, and the Ladies Auxiliary card party were successes. More ladies, eligible to membership, should join the Auxiliary and help the good work. The mothers, wives and daughters of any soldier that served in the last great war are eligible to membership in the Auxiliary. Comrade H. G. Williams is working on a play that the Legion plans to stage at one of the fine theatres, during the fall or winter. He has staged several shows in Cleveland which were very pleasing. All inclined to be athletes are urged to get in touch with theletic committee as we work with actual participants in the athletic events of Cleveland's 125th, anniversary celebration.

Free Medicina A prominent city man, who is as parsimonious as he is wealthy, is very fond of getting advice free. Meeting a well-known physician one day, he said to him: "I am on my way home, doctor, and I fell very seedy and worn out generally; what ought I to take?" "Take a taxi," came the curt reply. "Fit-Up, London." A Smart Leader. A realization of the hard obstacles he had to face in the first year of "big-time" baseball in Cleveland was the primary thought of Pres. Geo. J. Tate when he sought the services of Jim Taylor as manager. "Candy Jim," had won a name as the best developer of young baseball talent in the country and his work to date more than justifies the reputation, for in a short space of time he has welded together a harmonious, "never-say-die" team that promises to give trouble to the best clubs in the Foster circuit. Stars Beat Columbus. Detroit, Mich.—The Detroit Stars won both games at Mack Park, last Sunday, 6 to 4 and 7 to 3. The first game was won in the ninth, Warfield driving the ball over the right fence for a homer with a man on second. The second was a homer too, much stuff for the visitors, allowing them but two hits. Some Live Notes The Naco Giants of Cleveland, in Barberton, Sunday, had the game won when the "matchmen" fell on Tom Payne and won out in the last two innings, 7 to 6, Dunlap's errors at second being costly. Foster's Giants in Chicago, last Sunday, defeated the Indiana A. B. C's, 6 to 3. Dave Brown of the Foster men, was in fine trim and held the Indianians to one hit. The Pittsburg Giants, semi-pro-champs of western Pennsylvania, will meet the Tates here, June 18, 19 and 20. Mrs. Dell Williams presented the Tates with a large flag, last Sunday. On Monday, Henry P. Edwards, sport editor of the Plain Dealer, and a number of associates, were out to look over Tate Field. TO OUR PATRONS.
