FLEET WALKER SCORES BIG
Patents and Arranges for the Manufacture and Sale of a Motion Picture Film Reel, the Best In the Market-Local
Cadiz, O.—M. Fleet Walker, manager and lessee of the C迪萨 Opera House, has made an arrangement with the great Globe Machine & Stamping Company of Cleveland for the manufacture and marketing of a motion picture film reel of which he is the inventor and patentee, the royalties on which will soon "put him on easy street," financially. Another substantial victory for the race. Mr. Walker states that the royalty arranged for from the Globe Co. is perfectly satisfactory to him. This new reel is regarded by all who know the art to be the very last "word" in reels and the best on the market and it is patented in the U. S., Canada and several foreign countries. Yes, this is the same "Fleet" Walker that years ago was one of the very best base-ball catchers, regardless of race, in this country and was so regarded. The National League club (whee) had him not it been that he had him it not been to "Pop" Anson's imprisoned when he was at the head of the famous old Chicago club. Mr. Walker returned from Cleveland, today.—Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Smith and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Smith and daughter were here, Sunday.—W. L.

Cotton, pastor and officers are pleased with the results. A large number will go to Melbtrye, Sunday, to the dedication of the new church there.
One A. C. Marks of Louisville, Ky. edited the editor of the Gazette's endorsement of a check for $10 he drew, on Monday afternoon, on a bank in that city, raised it to $20 and tried to draw that amount from the Guardian Savings & Trust Co. and would have been successful but for the care and thoughtfulness of a teller of the bank who refused to honor the emasculated check. Marks was in jail, last Saturday, and "stung" Atty. Mundy for services in police court, that day; his fine and the costs, amounting to near $17.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Jordan were divorced in Judge Levine's court, June 23, '21, the latter being restored the name (Mrs. Grace) Brown.

Appointed to a Position in the Law Department of the City by Mayor FitzGerald
Attorney Chester K. Gillespie was appointed Monday, by Mayor William S. FitzGerald, one of the assistants in the law department of the city, through the influence of Councilman Thos. W. Fleming. Mr. Gillespie will be detailed as attorney for the finance department under Hon. Clarence S. Metcalf, director of finance. He is 26 years of age and resides at 2272 E. 97th St., is a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace Law school and connected with the law firm of Fleming and Roundtree, 3004 Central Ave. Chester K. Gillespie was admitted to the bar a little more than a year ago. He is generally liked and deservedly popular. Born at Sayles Park, Ohio, he secured his education at Cheney, Pc. Training school for Teachers and at Central Institute, this city. Baldwin-Wallace University, graduated him with the degree, LLD. He is a graduate and affiliated with a number of our local organizations. Realizing the stupendous task confronting the young American and the seeming lack of confidence in law and government, Mr. Gillespie has been a student of politics and civil government, especially local politics and government, for he believes as all true Americans must believe that politics is one of the big channels through which the Afro-American as a race can more speedily come into his own. The Gazette wishes him every success in his new position.-Adv.
JOHNSON TO BE FREED!
U. S. Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty Considering His Case —Our Population
Washington, D. C., June 28—Men who were apparently either friends of Jack Johnson, the former world's heavyweight champion, or promoters who wished to have him challenge the winner of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight, are apparently successfully trying to aid in having Johnson released from prison in time to see the championship battle at Jersey City, July 2. Johnson's term at the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kas., will expire July
7, the sentence having been reduced as the result of good behavior. Attorney General Daugherty indicated, Saturday, that he might consider a commutation of sentence for Johnson who is serving a year's sentence. Mr. Daugherty said Johnson had been a model prisoner and a "liberty bonus" of a few days for him in the way of a shortened term had been suggested. The attorney general also said he would not consider pardoning Johnson to enable him to attend the championship fight, but that, of course, if any clemency was entertained, Johnson's time would be his own. This means that Jack will witness the Dempsey-Carpentier fight.
The racial composition of the population of this country in 1920, as announced by the census bureau, shows the country to contain 94,822,431 white persons, and 10,463,013 Afro-Americans, 242,959 Indians, 111,025 Japanese, 61,686 Chinese and 9,485 others.

His Career in Congress—The Outlook for Our People in That State Bad, Very Bad—Many Will Leave.
(Special to The Gazette)
Jersey City, N. J.—All lovers of justice and law regret the passing from office of Gov. Dorsey. He performed a great task for the state. He had to tell the truth though it revealed the decadent putrefying condition of the state of which he was governor. He was courageous and manly! The law of Georgia had been lynched and violence and mob rule had taken its place. The courts of Georgia had broken down. The jury system was corrupted with the vicious Ku Klux Klan oaths. White men could do whatever they pleased and had very little to fear so far as punishment was concerned. Gov. Dorsey did not tell all of Georgia's crimes. He has simply intimated what may be found under a fair legal investigation. He is hated and abused by all the political nondescripts and things in Georgia. Already testimony from the camp of lawbreakers has come to discredit his exposure of the rottenness of the law and its execution. The Governor can have the approval of God and his willience that he did his duty fearlessly and began a crusade that will ultimately free Georgia from the "jail-birds" that now govern it. The successor to Gov. Dorsey in Georgia is not to be believed on his oath in matters and rights, it seems. His career in Congress is vicious and shameful (to our people) and did that a preacher neitherutherer the life of Nerroes in this country. Every time he opened his mouth on matters touching him it was to abuse and encourage robbing to of American liberty. The depths to which Georgia has fallen is reflected in its electing governor, a man like Hardwick. He is a friend of every peonage and law-breaking white farmer in Georgia. All persons convicted of peonage in the state under laws may expect an immediate reprieve. It is not too much to expect that he is above joining with lynchers to lynch any decent colored man in Georgia. No colored man, however honest and honorable, is safe in that state if a "cracker" desires what he has. No colored man is safe there if he stands out for freedom and justice for his race. Under Hardwick Georgia is expected to descend to the very lowest depths in its treatment of our people. Under him, if he carries out his previous
The board of trustees of Cuyahoga Lodge, Elks, has been increased from three to five. The new ones are Sidney B. Thompson and C. J. Clinton. The other three are Charles B. Lancaster, Harry L. Kersey and Howard Slaughter. Delegates to the annual meet at Boston are Thos. W. Fleming, J. W. Turk and W. W. Williams.
George De Mudd, was presented a raincoat and cap by his teacher for being the neatest little boy in his room at Marion school, the past year, and little Mary King was presented a pretty dress for being the smartest in her room. Other children can be similarly rewarded, next year, if their parents will see to it that they are properly cleansed and dressed before going to school and impressed with the necessity of properly preparing their lessons.
As the result of legislation, secured in the City Council by Councilman Thomas, W. Fleming, a new sewer is to be built at once in Central Ave. between E. 14th St. and 55th St. the contracts have been let off; it will be built in four months in three sections, all starting at the same time. Immediately thereafter, temporary street-car tracks will be laid and used during the winter and Spring season—until the ground is thoroughly settled—when new tracks and a new pavement will be laid. While the sewer is being built Central cars will be routed via Seville Ave. between E. 14 and E. 55th St. just as the Seville Ave. cars were through Central Ave., until a few wegs ago. Next year, these improvements will make "the Avenue" one of the best thoroughfares in the city, Councilman Fleming will soon introduce an ordinance for a "white way" electric light system, to be installed between E. 14th and E. 55th Streets, and has had a west-bound car-stop ordered for E. 40th St. and Seville Ave. He has also induced the City Board of Control to equip a playground at S. Case Public School, E. 40th St. and Central Ave., work on which is to start at once. The sewer contractors must finish the work in Central Ave. in four months or be subject to a penalty, the loss of money. Work on the same is awaiting the consent of the Street Railway公司, which it is anticipated will be secured in a few days, the City Engineer's office said. Wednesday.

Hardwick's administration of affairs in Georgia augurs ill for law and order. The best thing our people can do is to leave the state to Hardwick and his cohorts. Every self respecting colored man who can leave should make arrangements to do so as soon as possible. Farm hands and ordinary laborers should seek employment elsewhere. So long as our people remain in Georgia so long will semi-civilized whites keep on barbaricities. Every southern state that elects governors of the type of Hardwick should be made to understand that colored people will leave the state. If the Negro cannot get liberty in the South he is duty bound, if he has the instincts of a MAN, to leave it. Leave Hardwick and his penage defending administration!

DO YOU WANT A HOME?
A Splendid Opportunity for All and On Easy Payments—A Golden Opportunity!
I have from four to five thousand acres of unimproved and improved land. It is good for all kinds of grain and hay and excellent for fruits. We are expecting a big fruit crop in this end of the country. It is fine country for pigs and cattle. Excellent for poultry, in fact for anything a man wants to raise that will grow in the northern states. Very fine fishing and hunting. Plenty of schools and churches. The colored people that have bought from me already are highly pleased with their land and only sorry they didn't know this before. They say it is sure a free and God given opportunity for a poor man to get a home. Now this land ranges from 15 to 35 dollars per acre and all chances in the world to pay for it. $100 down, and more if you want to. Good easy payments. For further information, write S. J. Bortz, Branch, Mich.-Ady.

"The Universal News", L. M. D. Smith, editor, published weekly in the interest of the U. N. I. A. & A. C. L., a divisional publication, made its initial appearance, last week, and is a very creditable effort indeed. Mrs. Smith has every reason to feel proud of her work, too.
Geo. L. Lang, headwaiter at the Country club, a thorough race man and an old subscriber of "The Old Reliable," walked into its sanctum sanctum, the first of the week, laid down six dollars and said: "I want to renew my subscription for The Gazette for three years, Mr. Smith" etc., etc. This is the kind of ACTION that "speaks louder than words" and is REAL encouragement. Further comment unnecessary.
The farmers of Alabama are afflicted with a queer-looking yellow bug with an umbrella tail to protect it from the hot sun, and this bug is destroying the sweet potato crop. It is said that the tactics of the bug so much resemble those of the senior Democratic senator from Alabama who would destroy American industries by free trade and who is an adept at shading himself with willowy rhetoric, that the suggestion has been made to name the pest the "Underwood bug."
GO TO YAP.
We live in an age of conflicting interests, an environment which demands much compromise. Therefore those who have been struggling to internationalize the United States should be willing to compromise on the internationalization of Yap Island, plans for which are now being discussed by Japan and the United States. And having accepted that as a compromise, they are cordially invited to make Yap their residence. They would find there something to which their genius might be applied. The Yaplanders use stones for currency. A good-sized grindstone takes the place of a British tuppence, or an American nickel. The internationalists count certain large financial interests among their strongest supporters. The Yap currency question should interest those gentlemen and for a time, at least, take their minds away from the project to make America the province of a superstate.

LOBBY MAY BE LEGITIMATE
The Democratic demand for a "lobby" investigation at Washington will meet no considerable Republican opposition. When President Wilson's party was revising the tariff and American business men went to Washington to protest against injury to American industry through encouragement of importations, Mr. Wilson denounced those men as an "insidious lobby" and proposed to hang them higher than Haman. The Republican party has always taken the view that this is the people's government, that the Constitution meant what it said when it guaranteed the right of petition, and that one of the best ways to petition Congress is to send competent spokesmen to Washington to meet members of Congress, submit statements to committees, and answer any inquiries that may be propounded. In practically every instance, a man testifying before a committee is placed under oath, and if he makes false statements intentionally for the purpose of deceiving, he can be punished for perjury. Republicans have never taken the view that American
citizens are to stay at home until they are invited to Washington. Rather, it is the right of an American citizen to go to Washington any time it pleases him to go, and to call upon his Representative or Senator personally or in committee and tell that Senator or Representative what he thinks on public questions and how he would like them to vote. And if Senators and Congressmen do not vote to suit their constituents, there is one remedy reasonably effective in all northern states—to elect some else in their stead. Of course, down South where there is really only one party, control of the party organization may sometimes make it difficult to unseat an unsatisfactory representative. The remedy is not to drive out the lobby but to drive out the Senator or Congressman who is improperly influenced by a lobby adverse to the public welfare.

U. S. AGRICULTURE BODY TO GUARD FUR ANIMALS
No Fur-Bearing Animal To Be Killed
When Pelt is Unprime.
WASHINGTON—In accordance with an act passed by Congress May 31, 1920, the administration of regulations designed for the protection of land-fur-bearing animals has recently been transferred to the secretary of agriculture. This duty formerly belonged to the secretary of commerce. Under the new arrangement the biological survey of the United States department of agriculture is placed in immediate charge of the work—a task for which it is especially qualified, since, among other duties, it is already in charge of important activities relating to the control and conservation of wild mammals and birds, administers federal laws protecting blr, and game, and has made important studies of fur-bearing animals.
The new regulations issued by the secretary of agriculture and now effective, in the main are those which have been in force heretofore. Among the important provisions of this Alaskan law are that no fur-bearing animal shall be killed when the pait is unprime. The killing of any land fur-bearing animal at any time by means of the trap or device known as the "kilps," or by means of any steel trap or any other trap with jaws having a spread exceeding eight inches, is prohibited. The use of dogs for pursuing and killing land fur-bearing animals for which closed seasons exist is also prohibited. Likewise, it is unlawful at all times to kill any land fur-bearing animals by means of strychnine or any other poison. The shipment of furs consigned for points outside of Alaska, which may be made at any time, should be reported to the bureau of the biological survey, United States department of agriculture, on appropriate blanks, which will be supplied for the purpose.
The black, glacier and cinnamon bear, wolf, wolverine, suirrel, marmot, varying hare (rabbit) and Arctic hare may be killed at any time. Open seasons, varying in length according to the district concerned, are specified for muskrat, otter, mink, weasel, fox and lynx. Fuller particulars regarding the regulations will be sent on request to anyone addressing the department at Washington.

But when his father, Edward Ridgely, son of Charles Ridgely, Springfield, Ill., millionaire, died, he resented the aunt's objection to his presence at the funeral and applied for a legal order restoring his proper name. To-day, "Edwards" bears his own name as a result of the granting of the order.
"Edwards" father incurred the family displeasure when he eloped to Little Rock, Ark., and married Miss Fannie Clark. "Edwards" was born of this marriage, but the family refused to recognize the elopement and "Edwards" was brought up unaware of the fact that he was a Ridgely.
Nothing was said by the parents of the child when, four months after its birth, the family learned of the elopement and insisted upon another marriage.
When relatives learned of the birth of the son they opposed letting it be known for fear of creating a scandal. He was sent to fashionable eastern schools and graduated from Cornell University. He learned his identity when his grandfather died and left $$,000,000.
Doctors Find Real Freak.
NEW YORK—When Paul Anderson, an 11-year-old Negro, was admitted to Bellevue Hospital, th. authorities found a "medical freak." The lad has 12 toes and 12 fingers, two small toes, and two small fingers on each hand. He was admitted to the hospital to permit the amputation of the superfluous toes and fingers.

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. R.icks, 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 monies about forty the 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 and Central Africa, co operating in South Africa, operating in South America and Haiti. The slogan for this year is for at least bishops thousand dollars at the Newark meeting. It is a challenge to Baptists everywhere to missionary work. Will the challenge be accepted? If so, report at Newark; for the harvest truly is not only a matter of grains, but a 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 need of increased offerings so as to pay for services in this condition. 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.

Illinois Manufacturer Declares Man Is
Becoming Drone of the Hive.
BEFORE becoming a CHICAGO.—"What will become of more man is a question only the gods can determine," says John M. Glenn, secretary of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association. He was studying statistics showing the increasing numbers of women employed in industrial plants.
"Man is becoming the drone of the hive," he said. "He is seen idle in the market place when he ought to be at work. He is seen at the matinee and moving picture theater. He is seen on the golf links, the diamond and the bleachers, and is visible in large numbers in every place where sport and pleasure are dominant.
"Contemplate what would happen if women were to retire from industry and return to the home. Fifty years ago she had no place in business. She made her first appearance in the retail mercantile establishment and has hedged along until she practically dominates that institution. On every hand demands are for more women, and the supply cannot be met.
"Women will continue to take a greater part in industry," Glenn predicted. "She has shown she is capable of doing the work, and she has qualifications the man does not possess. Just now factories in which the workers are women are better off than those run by men. Woman doesn't seem to have the aptitude for striking.
"The women who appeared on the platform committees of the two major parties knew what they wanted and went after it more capably than did the men. The influence of women in political conventions is another indication of the growing importance of women outside the home.

Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For thirty-eight years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country.

"HUMAN NATURE'S
FOULEST BLOT."
My ear is pained

There is no flesh in man's ob-

That falls asunder at the touch

REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING
While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

HYDE PARK'S CORNER FOR GROUCH TALKERS.
A Mecca For Orators With All Sorts Of Grievances.
LONDON.—There is one spot in London where sooner or later hundreds of Americans are sure to foregather in the course of a week's visit to the British metropolis. It is the soap box arena in Hyde Park, otherwise the mecca of orators with all sorts of grievances.
Sometimes a speaker will go a bit too strong on revolution or Sinn Fein to suit the minions of the law stationed thereabouts to preserve order and is taken before a magistrate. But, on the average, the soap box arena is orderly despite its oratorical pyrotechnics.
Americans who remember the intolerance in some of their own home towns for the goods delivered by these forerunners of proletarianism or atheism or a score of other kinds of "isms" are somewhat amazed at the freedom of speech in the soap box arena, especially when they see, as they frequently do, great mass meetings in the park adjacent to the soap box arena, applauding under a big red flag prognostications of revolution.
The soap box arena works early and late, in bad weather and good, and on almost every day in the year. It is not only that, but than seven or eight hours' work at his ordinary occupation is willing to do twelve or more in furtherance of his cause, whatever it may be.
But he must be prepared for a lot of heckling. Few statements go unchallenged. Sometimes the arguments grow very animated, and then the Bobbie intervenes. If a heckler shows real ability he is often invited to get on the box and state his case, and then the regular speaker follows him to tear his argument to pieces. Alongside an atheist—and atheists are nearly always represented in the arena—will be a woman or a man evangelist insurging against the accursed influence of atheism. Sometimes the speakers rail at each other from their soap boxes. Often it is hard to listen to one speaker because of the proximity of an old barrel organ grinding out Gospel hymns a few feet away. On Sunday afternoons the crowd which cluster about the different rostrums number thousands.
Even cabinet ministers lend an ear to what is said in the soap box forum. Some of the free-lance speakers in Hyde Park are men of no mean oratorical ability, and some of the most popular are the shabbiest in appearance.
BOOK LOVER ENDS LIFE.
Feared Blindness, Due to Constant Reading, His Greatest Passion.
CHICAGO.—"My eyes are getting weaker."
"I am blind."
"In a short time, I will be unable to see."
These three entries were made in Carl Becker's diary as he sat in his little "hall room" surrounded by his beloved books. He went without new clothes to buy cherished volumes, and economized in many ways in order to satisfy his hunger for reading, which was his greatest passion in life, his friends say. When he found that he was about to be denied this pleasure, because of the failure of his eyes, due to reading long into the wee saa' hours of many mornings he did not care to live any longer. So Carl Becker turned on the gas and closed his eyes forever. Near his body in the little "hall room" were found in his diary, his instructions for the payments of his last debts and a bit of verse that explained his action. He wrote:
"When others see the sunshine, or see the sunset's glow. Or see the pretty flowers a-nodding to and fro.
Or when they see the portrait that glorifies the wall,
Your boy sees only darkness—eternal night—that's all.
Or when they go to dances or opera with their girls—
Girls gifted and intellectual, as beau-
tiful as pearls—
Or when they read the glories of the
brave, the good, the wise.
Your boy hides and brushes tear
drops from out his lifeless eyes."
His diary*was a pitiful record of a
fear that became by turns a convic-
tion and an obsession. The first was
in 1917: "My eyes are growing weaker."
BEN AVON GALLANTS.
Chief of Police Declares Men In Borough To Be Models.
PITTSBURGH, PA.-Of all boroughs, Ben Avon is the most gallant, according to Chief of Police James B. Hays. Other boroughs may boast a larger population or a greater area of fine municipal improvements, but when it comes to deference paid the fair sex by the male population, Chief Hays declares, Ben Avon is without a peer.
"I insist that the women folk of this borough be treated with the same respect I would accord the women of my own family," said Chief Hays.
"The men residents of the borough take the same view, and if any outsiders come here to eye the girls or try to flirt they are promptly told to move on. We permit no loafing on the corners.
"Of course, we let the boys eat pebbles in front of the drug store in the evening but they don't molest anyone."
So orderly is the borough, Chief Hays says, that only one policeman is needed regularly. When an emergency arises four others are added to the force.

URGES CHURCHES TO ADVERTISE
URGES CHURCHES TO ADVERTISE
Unitarian Ministers Attending Sessions of Harvard School Tell of Its Benefits.
QUICKENS LIFE OF CHURCH
Church Steepleps, With Their Bells Peeling Across the Hills and Valleys, Were the "Display Advertising Of Their Time."
BOSTON—A paid advertisement of a Sunday sermon in Saturday's newspaper is worth two in the bush in the form of a reportorial in Monday's papers insofar as increasing church attendance is concerned, according to the consensus of a majority of the 103 Unitarian ministers who recently attended the sessions of the Harvard School of Theology.
This view will be urged upon the directors of the Unitarian religious, educational and financial campaign, which was inspired by the Unitarian laymen's league. The league appropriated $10,000 to pay one half the tuition fees and traveling and living expenses of their ministers at the school.
The Rev. Roy B. Withersteen, pastor of the Northside Unitarian church, Pittsburgh, paid tribute to the newspapers of that city for the space which they devote to Unitarian news and for their practice of calling on the clergy of the city for comment on leading issues of the day. He advocated the spending of more money for Saturday advertising as the most effective way to increase church attendance.
The Rev. Edgar S. Weirs, pastor of the Unity church, Montclair, N. J., introduced as the "spark plug" of that church, declared himself strongly in favor of the use of the press to quicken the life of the church and "of the workers, jerkers and shirkers in it." He urged a wide variety in the church program "because a large number of people need expression as well as impression." Rev. Wiers told of the wonderful results which the Unitarian church committee on advertising had obtained in Montclair and stated for the benefit of his fellow "students" that the next venture in advertising would be series of carefully written advertisements presenting the Unitarian point of view in religion and life.
According to the Rev. George F. Patterson of Concord, N. H., a November to Easter advertising campaign in that city produced a 33 percent increase in church attendance. A recent survey shows that 15 per cent have remained with the churches which co-operated in the campaign.
"We don't study half enough how to announce what we are going to preach about," said the Rev. Sidney S. Robins of Ann Arbor, Mich., who advocated the use of "headline English" in the preparation of advertising copy.
The Rev. William F. Skerrye of Templeton, Mass., and the Rev. Alva R. Scott of Bangor, Maine, reminded their fellow ministers of the days when church steeplees with their bells peeling across the hills and valleys were the "display advertising" of their time.

NEW KENSINGTON, PA.-After discovering that she had boarded a train going in the wrong direction, Mrs. Joseph Kratnec, of Caral st., Natrona, jumped off.

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, be furnished 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.
Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the persecuted person, but he must be arrested 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, and while it should not use it as offence they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.
Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law.
Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcyc 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:
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.

"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives of mankind, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sloane.

We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that they will be in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W.

ARCHDUKE'S ROMANCE.
Austrian's Flight Again Arousing
Internet All Over Europe
Interest All Over Europe.
PARIS, France.—Once more the strange story of the disappearance of Jean Orth, the Austrian archduke, who gave up honors and fled to South America with a pretty Viennese singer, is arousing interest all over Europe and, as usual, the public is divided into two factions, one believing and the other doubting the reliability of the story that Orth met his death 30 years ago while on his way from Europe to the Argentine. Now doubling Thomasas' have a new argument, the account of a Frenchman, named Alfred Renaux, of Charleville, who avers that he talked with Orth and his enchantress weeks after the vessel aboard which he was believed to have been traveling foundered off the Italian coast.
Renaux was then employed as supervisor of dockworkers at a port on the Ria do la Plata. He knew the archduke.
"When the ship was about to leave the port where I was working, Orth and his wife visited me," he said. "They said that they had decided not to attempt to make the voyage, as they had discovered a plot to assassinate them." Renaux suggested that they take refuge on the island of Santiago, and together they watched the steamship Santa Margarita steam for Europe. It was on this voyage that the Santa Margarita was sunk. Renaux said that he visited the Orths several times thereafter, but returned to France in 1895, since which time he has not heard of them.
PROTEST AGAINST WRONG.

Had no voice been rallied against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, andquilibrites shall dearest disputes. The few who must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
