DAVID MANSON'S Compositions Artistic Successes Awarded $2,300-Husband a Daughter Chicago, Ill.—Mrs. Elnora Manson, wife of Mr. David Manson, president of the Kashmir Chemical Co., and native of Cleveland, O., achieved a big artistic success at the annual recital of original musical compositions of the Cosmopolitan School of Music and Opera Art, both in Kimball Hall, recently. Three of her songs, in certain settings of poems by Paul Lawrence Dunbar and Fenton Johnson, were given places of prominence on the selective program of the evening and heartily applauded. "Compensation and Love's Seasons," by Dunbar and Love's song, by Fenton Johnson were the poems given by Ms. Manson. The Dunbar setting was sung by Miss Mary Welch, a most capable member of the young soprano (white), of Chicago, and the Johnson poem was pleasingly rendered by Miss Flora Wilkes, (white), a soprano known in concert circles throughout the country. Ms. Manson is the first woman of the race to be thus honored in this section of the country. A verdict awarding Mrs. Ada Dozier, 3515 Federal St., $2,300 damages against the city of Chicago, was returned by a jury (white) in Superior Court, her judge Samuel Stough, recently. Her husband Wm Henry Dozier, was killed by a mob at the entrance to the stock-yards during the Chicago riots. "Brazen Political Banditry." The headquarters for Racial Relief located at 1216 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, D.C., founded, operated and controlled by Perry Howard and Lincoln Johnson, is one of the most brazen pieces of political banditry that the black race has yet been made the victims of. The first "Made Legitimate Relief" to be performed was to relieve Howard of idleness and secure for him a fat political job. This establishment is really a job-seekers bureau and any who contribute to it are warned that they are aiding and abetting two of the most notorious Uncle Tom politicians that the country has known. History yet to be written will prove it. Keep your eyes open.-Chicago Whip. > Had His Face Blackened. Had His Face Blackened. Texarkana, Ark.-Claude A. Dungan, age 30, (white) earl of the tuesday, was blinded by fire, year-old girl who, according to police, she fired at Dunigan when he appeared at her bedroom window. The girl was 'not held. Dunigan's face was cooked black. As usual.' WILBERFORCE COMMENCEMENT The New President Inaugurated—Degrees Conferred—Prof. Aaron E. Malone Honored—Something of His Remarkable Career. Wilberforce, O.—At the fifty-eighth annual commencement of Wilberforce University, last week, Dr. John A. Gregg was inaugurated president of the University, there were 227 graduates from all departments, and a number of honorary-degrees conferred. The inauguration was under the supervision of the Alumni Association. Dr. R. C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, president. Bishop B. F. Lee made the inaugural prayer, and the speakers J. H. were Dr. R. C. Runsaw, W. S. Scarlett, ex-president; Thomas H. Jackson, ex-president; Thomas H. Seaweed were delivered by Bishop L. J.

Williams, Paul Quinn College, Tex. The feature was the inaugural address of Dr. J. A. Gregg. F. H. H. Jackson, the University of Kansas, Lawrence, delivered the commencement address. He advocated an equal opportunity in the walks of life for all Americans. It was a scholarly, heart to heart talk from man to man, from brother to brother. Awarding diplomas, conferring degrees, delivering prizes by President Gregg, assisted by Dean Gilbert James, followed the address. Degrees of bachelor of art, and bachelor of science were served on the college graduates. The degree of doctor of law was conferred on Dr. E. H. Lindley, Bishop A. J. Carey, President C. D. B.

A few years later, he married Miss Annie M. Turnbo, founder of Poro College. Recently they erected a building costing over half a million dollars, paying cash for it. Mr. and Mrs. Malone contributed over $10,000 to the Y. M. C. A. at St. Louis, a like sum to the Orphan home. St. Louis; $4,000 to social center work in Indeed, they have contributed to many large enterprises, including colleges, human beings, etc. At the last general conference of the M. E. church, Prof. Malone was chairman of the laymen organization. He served on some of the most important committees, and was instrumental in putting through some helpful legislation. He is a member of the Illinois annual conference, and is present at every meeting. He is also one of the vice-presidents of the National Negro Business league and president of the local business league of St. Louis. RAH! FOR THE DOMINICANS! and It Ought To Be Doe. Santo Domingo - An enormous demonstration in favor of the unconditional withdrawal of the U. S. military forces from Santo Domingo was here, June 19, '21. The manifests expressed the desire that Santo Domingo should have other obligations than the convention, 1907 providing for assistance by the U. S. in the collection and application of the customs revenues of the country. A letter embodying the protests of the people, addressed to President Warren G. Harding was handed the military governor by the leaders of the demonstration. The archbishop, lawyers of the supreme court, lawyers and the faculty of the universities took part in the meeting which was expressed the demand that the U. S. offer of conditional withdrawal from Santo Domingo be refused. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS The Mistake Our People Made When Trying To Defend Themselves In the Tulsa Riot— The Nation Drifting. (Special to The Gazette.) Jersey City, N. J.-The riot at Tulsa, Okla. has been investigated and the causes leading up to it have been mentioned by various editors and social writers. Most are agree upon this—that the police authorities failed to do their duty. Generally, this is true everywhere a clash occurs between a white man and colored man. In many instances the police lead in the lavashes outbreak, the direction of peace, the first thing it does is disarm black people. No more unjustly can possibly be done. In all race riots white men are the aggressors until they have been beaten and then they hollow for the militia. White men everywhere have decided to break down the law with mobs and clans of bad white men. For the most trivial offense, the white coward cries out, "Torn him." By himself he is a skulking coward but with a smile. Let it be north, south, east or west, the ordinary white brute and coward at the first cry of wrong having "been done begins the cry of him or lynch him." The lowest and vilest element of American civilization is the savage and cowardly white brute that depends upon firing a mob to wreck the law and destroy life. The first duty of America is to destroy this element of white men, and to take the law into account. Their attempts to prevent injustice toward the colored people as well as toward all other peoples. The colored people of Tulsa attempt to prevent that riot by protecting the prisoner the cost. Their attempts to prevent the lynching was ill-timed because they did not take with them sufficient force to meet their opponents. They were not sufficiently ammunitioned so as to stay on the job. Their leaders were not well poised. There should have been no attempts on their part to murder in order to save that colored youth under the sheriff's protection the prisoner. If the white mob had attempted to storm the jail and defy the sheriff, then was it their opportunity to help uphold the law. Colored men are not going to be lynched without a protest and a show of force to prevent it. That they are going to strike back is very evident. That any mob will lose a portion of McCORMICK'S "NEGRO" REGIMENTS Ex-Senator Burton, the Principal Speaker — Congress Cannot Enact. An Anti-Lynching Law. Washington, D. C.—Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois has introduced amendments to the army appropriations to the chief African American regiments in the regular army; four in the infantry and four in the cavalry. The infantry, under one amendment, would consist of one chief of infantry with the rank of Major General, 4200 officers in grades of rank from Colonel to Second Lieutenant, inclusive, and 110,000 enlisted officers, organized into such units as the President, the deputy vice that after January 1, 1922, they shall be in such units not less than four regiments, the enlisted personnel of which shall be composed exclusively of Afro-Americans. All tank units are made a part of the infantry. The cavalry under the other McCormick amendment would consist of one chief of infantry with General, 950 officers with rank from Colonel to Second Lieutenant, 20,000 enlisted men, and, after January 1, 1922, four regiments of Afro-Americans. Pleas for the white and colored delegates to the convention for amity between the colored and white races to spread the new spirit of racial understanding were made by speakers at the Inter-racial convention held here, recently. Ex-Senator Theodore F. Burton, of Cleveland, the principal speaker, said: The races must dwell in his country because they live side by side in the colored race should be recognized by the white man, not only because the constitution of the United States requires it, but by the divine power of God. Both races must learn to understand each other. If a crime is committed by a Colored man his people should help in bringing him to justice. At the same time, if a crime is committed and the offender unknown, and a colored man happened to be around, people should be to the conclusion that a colored man was. We are to take an important place among the nations of the world, but we first put our own house in order. One of the most serious blots on our national life is that of lynching. This is not against the colored man alone. LE COPY FIVE CENTS Back! G COWARDS! te Lynch-Murderers Are. people Made When Trying selves In the Tulsa Riot— tion Drifting. its following when it attacks our people is a foregone conclusion. That the struggle will be fiercer and bloodier as it occurs in the future is also evident. That the nation is drifting to a clash of arms; that will be sickening when it is over, is also evident if stringent rules are not enforced and an honest attempt to enforce the law is not made. Death has no terrors that will keep men from fighting for what they believe is right. That no skin is a terror to any other skin is also fact that must be reckoned The Yellow reporter is another evil that the truth is unleashed. When newspapers by false publication cause a riot they should be put out of existence. The reporter that gives the information should be locked up for life or executed. Worthless and impudent colored youths that have no respect for themselves nor any one else should be dealt with summarily. Razor carrying and pistol toting Negroes should be made to be sent to prison for life. Both elements these infamously bad elements, white and black, should be put out of business. All good citizens should help them out. Let us have no more Tulsa riots. Let us both races everywhere calm themselves and work together to save our civilization. All of us are guilty of causing these riots, if we do not begin and uphold a policy that will do away with the causes of riots. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. but against the white man as well. I am able to whatever can be done, by constitutional amendment or otherwise, to remove this frightful blemish from the nation." A DOUBLE ARCHAISM The Massachusetts legislature has adopted a resolution to take the word "male" out of that section of the state constitution dealing with the qualifications of voters. By the Bay State organic law only male citizens may vote. Though the limitation is inoperative by reason of the nineteenth federal amendment, the Massachusetts assembly deems it fitting to eliminate it even as a relic. The hope of the states will vote on the amendment in 1924. The inclusion recalls the fact that according to the Ohio constitution only "white male" citizens of the United States may vote in this state. Here is a double archimetry. Ohio provision is in contradiction with the fifteenth and the nineteenth amendments to the federal constitution. It is a feature of the state constitution which, for the sake of courtesy if for no other reason, ought to be corrected. Yet in 1912 when it was proposed by state amendment to prohibit old bar against voting by colored men, the proposition was voted down by the prosecution of the state by a large majority. It was one of the explicable results of the institutional election of nine years ago. For the credit of Massachusetts it is hoped that her election will show better judgment when they come to vote on this proposal than the electors of Ohio did when they refused to eliminate the word "white" from Article V, Section 1—Cleveland: Daily Plain Dealer (Dem.) By All Means Reduce It Washington, D. C.—House Republicans' at a conference, last Thursday night, discussed reapportionment and the proposed cutting down of the representation of southern states in congress on account of the disfranchisement of both white and colored Republicans. No decision, however, was reached. Another conference was held, this week Thursday night.

What a pity! Those six Elaine, Ark. riot-victims must die. An appeal should now be made to President Harding for pardon for them. The Administration and the Congress ought to know now what the Dominicans want. Read our Santo Domingo letter in this paper. That $185,000 theater and $85,000 church (new) undoubtedly had much to do with the starting of that Tulsa massacre. Our people there were evidencing too much prosperity. More than thirty whites were killed. If this is kept up riots will cease, South and North. Senator Reed characterized a retort by Senator Glass as "the insolence of incapacity"; whereupon the latter charged Reed with being "vituperative and offensive". Pot and kettel When the real relations of prominent Democrats are disclosed by such language it ill becomes them to point to imaginary friction in Republican ranks. "I think," said Admiral Sims, "that the future progress and peace of the world are going to depend upon a good feeling among the peoples who speak English." That is one of the remarks that the public is not permitted to hear much about in the deluge of criticism that certain Americans are heaping upon some of his other statements. The Admiral spoke a fundamental truth, and the sooner it is taken to heart by Americans generally the better it will be for the future welfare of the United States. Under our Ohio Civil Rights Law, which was incorporated in and made the basis of the Malby (N. Y.) Civil Rights law, years ago, on the request of the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, many cases have been won by our people of this state in the past twenty-seven years of its existence. Little wonder then that our people of other northern states are endeavoring to have their State Assembles enact civil rights laws modeled after our Ohio law. The same can be said, only in a lesser degree, of our Ohio Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching law. The following is an excerpt from the "Society" column of the Washington papers: "Today Mrs. Harding will entertain with an 'at-home' from 5 to 7 for the boys at Walter Reed hospital, which, weather permitting, will be held in the gardens at the White House." That is the sort of hospitality that is distinguishing the present administration. Without ostentation the wounded veterans are invited to the Executive Mansion to meet and pass a social hour with the President's wife. And in their call they are only returning many visits paid by Mr. and Mrs. Harding to the hospital and the wards where the helpless invalids are confined. THE $35,000 SECRETARIES. Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter of the N. E. R. league and Associate Editor James Weldon Johnson of the N. A. A. C. P., it seems, are not in thor accord as to the mode of procedure to secure the enactment of "a federal" anti-lynching law. Do not worry, brethren, the U. S. Supreme Court decided, many years ago, that lynching and mob violence are matters that come under the jurisdiction of the several states, and them only, and that the Congress is powerless in the matter. However, continuing to "yell" for "a federal" anti-lynching law "wheedles" money from the pockets of the hard-working of our people, and others, and helps to raise the thirty-five or forty thousand dollars as salaries to the four or five secretaries of the N. A. A. C. P., and to Dr. DuBois, for editing The Crists. STRIKE BACK! In an editorial on the Tulsa Okla. riot the Memphis (Tennl) Commercial Appeal says: "For Negroes the lesson should be plain—that they can never hope to win in any clash with the whites anywhere in the country." Indeed! They won at Washington and Chicago, and if the truth were told, in many other places. "Negroes" throughout this country know this even if the Appeal's editor does not. Whether they know it or not makes no difference, the new "Negro" will never tamely submit to being shot down "like rabbits" as was the case prior to the World War, and it is a waste of time for the Appeal or any other paper, South or North, to endeavor to discourage the set determination to strike back when ever the barbaric mobocrat and lynch-murderer goes on the rampage as was the case in the riots at the places mentioned and others. Tulsa is mute testimony to this fact. REDUCE SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION. Southern representation in the Congress should be reduced! The section of the U. S. Constitution, touching this very thing, is MANDATORY. The reduction should have been made many years ago. But now that the Republican National Committee has taken its stand on the reduction of southern representation in National Republican Conventions there can be no excuse for a failure on the part of the Republican majority in both houses of the Congress to do its clear duty in response to that mandatory section of the U. S. Constitution referred to. The increased Afro-American vote in the North is a factor that Republican members of the Congress from this section of the country have got to reckon with, and the increase of the last few years also came from the South. They know conditions there and here, now, and will understand any disposition on the part of their Republican Congressmen to longer shirk a duty mandatorily placed at their doors by the U. S. Constitution, and due not only the black and white disfranchised Republicans of the South but also all the people of the entire country the future of which rests wholly in the security of the people under its laws, particularly its fundamental laws. The U. S. Constitution must be obeyed or the government cannot endure. THE DOLLAR CIRCUIT The Democratic New York Times calls a protective tariff a "vicious circle." If that be true the United States has prospered wonderfully under the influence of this species of viciousness. The first Act ever passed by an American Congress was a protective tariff Act and it was framed for the express purpose of keeping American money in America for the purchase of American materials and employment of American labor, starting a circle that was not deemed at all vicious but beneficial in its effects. Use of the word "circle" is entirely appropriate, for money is a circulating medium and in due time gets around to the point from which it started, provided it is kept at home. If, for example, we have a protective tariff on glass and thus encourage the use of glass made in America instead of glass made in Belgium, the glass worker in the United States who earns a dollar of compensation will spend that dollar in the United States for the purchase of shoes, and the shoe worker will pay it to the grocerman for flour, who, in turn will send it to the wholesaler, thence to the manufacturer, thence to the farmer, who very likely, will use the dollar to buy some glassware, getting the dollar around what the New York Times calls "the vicious circle." A similar dollar sent to Europe for the purchase of glassware, or any other commodity, would begin its circulation, but in all probability would continue to circulate on that side of the Atlantic. In some instances it might get back across the ocean but before it returned it would be diminished by the profits taken out by European labor and European capital. Prosperity of Our Tulsa Citizens. Tulsa, Oklahoma, had a population of 25,000, of whom 10,000 were Afro-Americans. And our people were very prosperous and owned property worth at least $1,500,000. Mrs. Williams' Theatre was valued at $185,000, a new church at $55,000. The People's Drug Store and the K. and P. Lodge were very valuable. It has been estimated that there were twenty Afro-American business houses owning $20,000 worth of property each, and that 250 owned modern homes ranging in value from $5,000 to $9,000. Exen Churches Are Burned. Even Churches Are Burned. Utreyville, Ga—Another of our churches was burned here, June 16, '21, by persons whom the authorities believe to have been members of the mob which the night before after the torch to the town hall, the central of town was well as to a lodge and church belonging to us. Several were whipped by the mob and one was shot when he opened fire with a shotgun. The disturbances have resulted from the alleged murder, early last week of Lorena Wilkes. 12. The mob invaded one church during the services. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 25, 1927 THE LOTT CAREY. Baptist Hosts Will Convene in New ark, N. J., Tuesday, Aug. 30, to Remain Until Sept. The Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission convention will meet this year, in Newark, N. J., upon the invitation of Bethany Baptist church, Dr. E. R. Eicks, 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 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, Nyasaland, Zululand, East Africa, Africa, co operating in South Africa, and Haiti. The slogan for this year is 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 with only the harvest but with only the 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 are 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 increased opportunities, 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.

Whites Act Against Vile Ku Klux. Cincinnati, O.—A resolution calling upon Mayor John Galvin to warn the public against joining the Ku Klux Klan was adopted, Monday, by the Methodist Ministers' Association. The resolution was offered by Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, Washington, reform leader. The action followed the public utterances of Dr. Crafts against the Ku Klux Klan, calling them a murderous church-members that a number of local church-members had affiliated themselves with the disgraceful movement here. Tulsa. "A Mass Attack." That the Tulsa police department permitted the affair to degenerate into a mass attack on the Negro quarter is an indictment of both the department and the community. In its larger aspect it is an indictment of the criminal indifference with which the white people of the United States are discharging their obligation to lead, educate and do justice by the weaker and less highly civilized race—speaking broadly, in the industry of an earlier day planted this continent. Norfolk Virginia Pilot More Elaine Rioters' Victims Must Die Little Rock, Ark.—A writ of prohibition dissolving an injunction issued by chancery court here against the execution of six Elaine (Ark.) Negroes was issued by the state supreme court, Monday. The petition alleged the Negroes' trial on charges of murder growing out of the Elaine riots in October, 1919, was unfair and dominated by mob spirit. Today's writ held that no state court of equity has jurisdiction over criminal cases and that the sentence of death stands. All of the Elaine mob of white lynchmurders were allowed to go free and these six poor victims of that mob must suffer death for what the white mobrocats did. It looks very much as if this same thing is to take place at Tulsa, Okla. Round Up Indicted Men. Up in distress Tulsa, Okla.—Arrest of Negroes charged in sixty-four indictments returned by the special grand jury with inciting race riots began, June 17, when Sheriff McCullough sent out a large force of deputies. "He is certainly rich, as used in the preceding sentence of the sixty-four, four greatest prisoners now in the county jail, two against Negroes killed in the rioting and one against another serving a term in the state penitentiary at McAster. No indictments as yet against the white brutes and "barbarians" who not only "incited" the riots but made up the recent Tulsa mobs of lynch-murders. "Twas ever thus! If there is anything more like adamant than the southern mobocrats" "nerve" and "gall," and that of their assistants, we would like to know what it is. The local "special German jury" should each be given a German iron cross. DANDY FARM CHEAP! Over seven acres, rich farm land fronting on two roads, lots of running water, fine maple shade.

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 unintentionally 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." FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. Placing the Blame for Gas Delay Nobody, probably, took very seriously the obviously impossible proposal to "arbitrate" the gas question, although the proposal was made over the signature of the mayor of Cleveland. It was quickly disposed of, but the policy on the city's part, in which it was a move, is serious because it is a policy of delays. We have done all in our power to prevent delay and to point out to the city the danger and bad public policy of such a course. We have also kept the public informed of every step that has been taken. The responsibility for delayed settlement of the gas question belongs with the city administration. The East Ohio Gas Company CORRESPONDENTS WANTED The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents.

Detroit, Mich.—Pitching one of the best games of his career, Holland set back the Indianapolis A. B. C.'s, Sunday, at Mack Park, allowing the visitors but six scattered hits while the Stars pounded Jeffries hard. Only two Hoosier players reached second base, Ben Taylor's homer over the principal of E. Tech. High school to attend its commencement exercises, last week Thursday evening, and receive his son (deceased), Harrison's diploma. A very graceful act on the part of the official. Mr. Smith says the greatest demonstration of the evening was made when Everett Tyler, editor of an E. Tech. school paper, was handed his diploma. The student was given ovation at the large auditorium of the grandson of Mr. Neil Dougherty, 1732 E. 31st St., and a son of Mr. Maurice H. Tyler, a fire-warden in the Columbus, O. Fire Department. Everett's mother (deceased) was one of the prettiest, most winsome and most popular young girls in Cleveland before marrying and locating in the state capital. 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. 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 University of AU, P. informs The Gazette. Now let him stop the distribution of that slenderous and very harmful German propaganda literature. He promised to "look into it," but did he? 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.

A CLEVELANDER IN CUBA No Color-Lines in That "Wet" Country—An Interesting Letter From Havana, Cuba, June 1, 1921. Muy Senor miro: "It is a long lane that has no turning." I was following in that land of Indolence, but I have gotten, at last, to a turning point—after many months delay, I am answering your communication, "How do I like Cuba and what is it like?" I remember the day I sailed from New York. I was standing on deck, watching the Metropolitan, Woolworth and other skyscrapers fade away into distance; I was thinking of Cleveland, my friends all that I was leaving there, and wondering also what the new and strange land was like and what it had in store for me. Four days later we entered Havana harbor, but had to wait about three hours for inspectors before we allowed to disembark. Then as I landed I began to realize how immigrants must feel when they land on America's shores from foreign lands. A man grabbed my hand bag. I didn't know what he was saying, but I knew I wanted my bag back; after parting with 25 centavos, we it. I had now been initiated into Cuban life and paid my inmation fee. It was quite cheap at the time. With a Spanish cook we cried two of whom spoke Spanish, to the hotel in the "tranvia." Had we walked we would have gotten there sooner. They seem to tour around the town in a sort of "Archimedes Spiral." I think, when he starts out, the motorman himself doesn't know exactly which way he is going but dee les, "I will you I will go down here." You when you are an expert you can keep walking when a car passes, but until then, one had better stop and press close against the house wall. The average street is the side wall varies from six to ten inches. Besides the cars run right against the curb. It is quite exciting. Yet not nearly as exciting as crossing the street. The Ford jitneys are as thick as an仕 here. When traffic is stopped coming from one direction they start from the opposite direction. To cross the street gracefully is an art. The chauffeurs are experts, they go at a rate of about 40 males an hour and can stop suddenly about two inches from your nose. They only aim to you by being very careful. Sometimes they don't miss you. But in all in all I rather like it here. You feel a certain freedom that even Cleveland doesn't give. One may go to any hotel or eat in any restaurant. Although there is a great percent of colored people, there are no colored churches, schools or hospitals. The people go to the church nearest them, or hospital or school whichever they need. This of course is a Catholic country and the colored people are Catholic, too. English is quite important in business, but any one thinking they can get along with English alone is sadly mistaken. You can spend all the "diner" you want in English, but Spanish is the language of the country and always will be. Well, Mr. Smith, I think I have raved enough for one spasm.

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

GAS GIVEN Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, but Give It to a Friend or an Acquaintance who Might Subscribe after Reading a Copy of It Outrage After Outrage Perpetrated In the Little Mulatto Republic 4 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 domination of the United States of European origin, and they know it. The Columbus family did not make its home in New York City, or in Boston, 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. I was also a teacher to discourtesy by a Dominican was from a gentleman whose brother had been handled most brutally by our national representatives. After invigoring 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, "What important person pliding in the, where in hell the wharf was. I probably avoided a two-to-one street-brawl 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 beating 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 Separacion in a coach. He explained that the officer, who was armed, might have shot the boys, but refrained. The officer, a boy, jumped and stuck 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 wanted any fruit or vegetables they took them. When they wanted a pig or a turkey, I took a look at them. For the things 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 ticket to Sanchez I had to present, and leave, a certificate of health I 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 Dominican Sanidad 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. Luckly for me Captain M. was on board, dining with some guests, and women, and I waited for the ding-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 was waiting for him to give me one minute and his magic signature. He knew I had 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 at afternoon. I ask the reader how Dominicans fare 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 Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. 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 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 Mobs Section 6278.

(93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282.

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.

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." 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 already spent several years in a Spanish-speaking country, he spoke Spanish, and to show 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 scarely 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. And lest anyone should enter the establishment of Letras, an armed force—namely the high-power rifle—was sent to pace 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 reigns 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 than in Santo Domingo City. If they want to develop civic pride Kensington-Philadelphia, will claim their 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, we can work there for 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. in "The Nation," N. Y. City. A PRIVILEGE A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right— Not a sacrifice, even though you go down.

(93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (63 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 thirty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, and they 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 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: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. 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.

A.—One of five foreigners here charged with violation of the prohibition laws set up a novel defense and succeeded in causing a jury disagreement. The man claimed the water in the vicinity of his residence had been condemned and that he had been ordered to boil it for drinking purity in the old but, discharging it had a sour taste, he poured 25 pounds of sugar into the boiling water to make it palatable. To keep a supply on hand for family use, he boiled enough "water" to fill two 52-gallon barrels. Another trial will be necessary. WOMAN WON'T GIVE AGE.
