Our people are living in tents, loaned to them by the Red Cross, many of which have only dirt floors and no bedding save government cots. Cooking utensils are very much needed. Should winter catch us in this shape there will be great suffering. We respectfully suggest that each church take an offering to help relieve our people here who are suffering through no fault of their own. This appeal is to every church, lodge, club, commercial club and every other organization of the race and to organizations of other races who will help. Send all money and other articles to S. D.

URGEN LIBERIAN LOAN President Harding Asks Congress to Authorize Payments Washington, E. C., Legislation authorizing payments to Liberia under the $5,000,000 loan to that country previously arranged for, was asked by President Harding, Monday, in a letter transmitted to the senate. An accompanying letter from a Secretary President Warren G. Harding of State Huckleby to the president said a "normal motivation tested on the United States to make this bill" is impossible "and the president darling in an letter of transmittal to Vice President Cooley." To seize the convention that we have an obligation when the executive branch of the government cannot discharge without the properly expressed approval of the congress." The letter said that $5,000,000 was set aside for Liberia, in addition to actual transfer of funds was delayed until the Liberian legislature could act. The president of Liberia, Mr. Hughes, recounted came to Washington to conclude the registration with provided "the necessary legislative measures adequate to secure the bank." By the time, however, further commitment had been registered by congress. The republic of Liberia was established "largely through the efforts of American citizens." Mr. Hughes, and the present congress situation of the country largely in consequence of its participation in the World War with the United States.

The Portuguese government has granted the Mozoelho Company, a commercial concern, absolute power over 65,000 square miles, of territory in East Africa, a district larger than England and Wales combined, with a population of over 200,000. One does not need "an understanding of drama and its laws," to quote Hubert Harrison, to realize that "Emperor Jokes" is of no racial value to the Negroes of the world. The play does not elevate the Negro, and such plays never will. It matters not if they be based upon psychology or not. N. Y. Negro World. Dr. W. W. S.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Something For Our Business and Professional Men To Do Our Educated Christian Women Must Take a Hand in the Doing—Young Men and Women Must Be Active Too. (Special to The Gazette) Several of our contemporaries copied our contribution on our ministry and, among them, one desires to know how the ministry may be made what it should be. This is a very important query. The answer to it must be enlightening. Fifth, every church that has promising young men in its membership should lay before these young men the importance of the ministry. To en- First, all of the other educated professions must join in and help the church to improve its ministry. Instead of having ignorant and half ignorant men as officers of the church, the best educated men should be put in their place. The spiritual leaders of the church should be men of the twentieth century and not those of the nineteenth. The officers of the church should make the church the chief thing in their lives. In innocent amuctions should not be emphasized to the detriment of the church. If in every community and city the physicians, dentists and pharmacists together with lawyers and business men, were to take hold of the church, modernize it in its attempts to meet the problems of the day, cause the principles of religion to permeate every strata of our social organism and also exalt the church as the one great end of man's life, the ministry would have to be able to keep pace with this ideal or get out of the way. Second, in compensating the ministry for it, exalted service, the other professions should put it on par with theirs. The minister is pre-eninently the leader of the community and as such he should in every way be able to meet the demands upon him. The professional and business men can place the ministry in such a position. Third, the superstitious and misleading ideas of the race in religion, which were largely inherited from slavery, must be discarded. The old father that cannot read his name nor tell one letter from another cannot be the instructor in religion. This fossilized at leaders has kept in the church a like ministry. To dislodge these old leaders, hardness must not be used but firmness with kindness. Fourth, the persons who must be the leaders of the church, must be the best educated men of their day. No man should be elected to the bishopric of any of our Methodist bodies who is not the intellectual equal of any other bishop of any race. Education and not fanaticism must lead the ministry. WANT THEIR JOBS! Charge Conspiracy to Murder and Thus Get Them—The "Chivalrous" South Oxford, Miss.—Ross Brower (white) is held by the federal authorities here following an investigation by Illinois Central railroad officers in which it was alleged that a conspiracy existed to intimidate and drive from their positions Afro-American firemen and brakemen employed by the Illinois Central and Vizoon and Mississippi Valley railroads. Four firemen have been killed and a number wounded as a result of the alleged conspiracy, special agents of the roads say. Brower was arrested at Water Valley, Miss., on a charge of shooting from amnish Gus Embry, fireman. Ross Cardwell (white) was also arrested on the same charge and is being held by the state authorities. When Brower made bond on the state charge the federal authorities took him over. Afro-American employees of the two roads have received letters ordering them to leave their employment, threatening them with injury if they did not. AN IMPROVED HOWARD The University to Strengthen Its Faculties as Well Make Other Improvements Washington, D. C.—Howard University faculties are to be strengthened next year. Dr. A. B. Jackson, senior chief of Mersey Hospital, Philadelphia, will become professor of hygiene and public health in the school of medicine, and will also have charge of hygiene instruction in the academic departments of the university. A school of public health and hygiene with Dr. Jackson as director is to be established. Mr. Wesley Howard, who is taking special studies in France, is to be assigned as an instructor in the school of music. Dr. Allen Scott, Wolfe and Dr. Lewis J. Weinstein, of this city, are to be connected with the school of medicine. IN UNION WE IS STRENGTH stry! Tells How! Our Business and Men To Do Can Women Must Take, ing—Young Men and Be Active Too. Fifth, every church that has promising young men in its membership, should lay before these young men the importance of the ministry. To en- Dr. William A. Byrd courage these young men, every church should pay salaries worthy of a man of ability. Ministers must pay their bills and meet the expense of living as well as others and, too, ministers should not be the poverty men of any community. Capable men in the ministry should be the best salaried men of the community. When young men learn that the ministry is receiving its own, then the church will have men of character and ability preaching and not makeshifts who disregard the cloth. Sixth, all churches should discourage young men or old men too, making short cuts into the ministry. No jonoramus can preach the gospel of Christ. Shame on a people whose ministry is less intelligent than its physicians. Everybody can help our ministry by doing what he or she can to make the church the power of influence and education in the community, and at the head of that church put a man highly educated and pious with a competent salary to keep him above want. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. giving special instruction in dentistry. Dr. Wm. Clark Gordon, a leading Congregational minister of Ware, Mass., has been offered a professorship in the school of religion.

ATTENTION, EX-SERVICE MEN! In the files of the Cleveland office of the federal board for vocational education are the names of 500 disabled World War veterans whom the government will support while they learn a trade or profession but who do not avail themselves of the offer. Now, under a recent act of congress, the time of waiting for these men is limited. The offer expires one year after they receive notice that they are eligible for training. There are in the vicinity of Cleveland perhaps 1,000 disabled veterans who are eligible to apply for this air but who have not done so. These men have until Dec. 16, 1922, to apply. After that, another new act of congress says, they will have no right to apply. A New Church Commission New York City.—In order to consolate the influence of the churches in bringing about better relations between the colored and white races, the Federal Council of Churches of Christion America has established a new commission on our churches and race relations, under the chairmanship of John J.

Mr. and Mrs. Phil Strickland, E. 37th St., have a fine baby girl. The latter was former Miss Norma, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Minter, the latter a sister of Messrs. Joe Lucas, Elmer and Abe Daugherty. Mrs. Esther Irving Cooper and three little daughters, of Ft. Myer, Va., and Miss Erma, daughter of Mrs. Alice Butler, a leading resident of Arlington, Va., guests of Mrs. Cooper's sister, Mrs. Lottie Gordon, and husband of 9515 Gibson Ave., S. E., left, yesterday, for home after a very enjoyable visit of several weeks. Rev. and Mrs. W. B. Suthern, children and his father; Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Pierson, Mr. Will Hunley, Garrett E. Morgan and a large number of other Clevelanders, some K. P. and members of the Ladies' Drill Corps in uniform, attended the Elyria-Oberlin-Lorain emancipation celebration, Monday, at Riverview Park, Elyria. It was agrand success. St. John's choir will inaugurate a series of free recitals, Sunday afternoon; 4 to 5 o'clock. Among the participants, Sunday will be Madam Rachel W. Turner, Prof. Anderson (tenor) of the White Music Co., and Mr. H. Tussner, Woodland Ave. choral organist. This is a splendid choir and if interested plane it has been started, there can be no question as to the benefit that will accrue to St. John's A. M. E. church. The state meet of the Improved American Woodmen, last week, in St. Paul's A. M. E. Zion church, its parade, picnic, dance, etc., were interesting events and enjoyed by the participants and others. The contest with the old order of Woodmen grows in interest. The following officers were elected: H. H. Hearing, state grand master; C. H. Robinson, New Comerstown, Ohio, deputy grand master; Mrs. Emma Robinson, Dillonvale, treasurer. Nelson Fields, state grand master for the state of Missouri, was here from St. Louis, to attend the sessions here. Among the callers at the Gazette office, last week, was Dr. Armen E. Evans, M.D. St. who recently completed the work of an interate at Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C. Dr. Evans is a "thought boy," a native Clevelander. We will offer at an early date in the velocity of E. 79th St. and Central Ave. and, this fall, miss Miss Louise Canneville, one of our local public school teachers. Mrs. Lottie Mitchell Green, wife of Hon. John P. Green, has a niece, of Atlanta, Ga., a daughter of her sister, Mrs. Wm. Smith of Wilberforce, visiting her. Mrs. Grace Willis Thompson returned, the first of the week, from Nashville, Tenn., and reports a very interesting and instructive meeting there of our National Association of Musicians. Mr. Carl Diton, organist, Philadelphia; T. Thee Taylor, pianist, Chicago; Grace Willis Thompson, soprano, Cleveland; Henry A. Ehridge, tenor, Chicago, with Nashville local talent, furnished the program, last week Tuesday evening, and Cleota J. Collins and the Music Study Club, on Wednesday evening. Mrs. Thompson was one of the guests of J. Wesley Jones at a dinner he gave, Thursday, at J. Blaire Boyd's (of the Boyd Publishing Co.). A year or two ago there was a murder about every night among our people of the Central Ave. district. Things were so bad then in that district that the corner of E. 29th St. and Central Ave. was referred to as the murder corner. Then the number of murders occurred. We were a week, in that vicinity, where it maintained for months. Now, it seems that the record is only one a week A week ago, Sunday night, a woman of the race shot her man to death in E. 27th Place near Central Ave. Last Sunday night, in the same section and within "a stone's trump" of the place of the other "tragedy," Emmet Williams was shot to death in his home at 2721 Central Ave. This last affair is said to be the direct result of imbibing "raisin jack" sold more largely in that district than any other in the city, it is said. Rev. E. H. Smith, of Georgetown, Ky., is in a financial rally at Triedstone Baptist church. The Dunbark Literary society of Shiloh Baptist church has a very fine program, each Tuesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Zeno Brown of E. 85th St., entertained about forty, Monday evening, in honor of their sister, Mrs. Mittie Richardson, of Philadelhia.

Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask for your trade in the columns of this paper! Marion Price, twenty-five, was shot through the heart, and instantly killed at his home, 2318 27th Pt., at 1 o'clock, last Friday afternoon. Police say the murder followed a quarrel with his wife, Octavia. Neighbors heard the shot and notified police. When they arrived the woman had disappeared. Price had been away from home for a week, police say, and the quarrel started when he returned. The body was taken to the county morgue. E. D. Clarke, formerly with the Harvey B. Saunders Drug Store, Inc., of Chicago and for several years one of the pharmaceutical instructors at Meharry Medical College, has been employed as registered pharmacist by the Rosenberg Drug Store, E. 55th St. and Central Ave. The Rosenberg Bros. are among the oldest and most reliable druggists in the city and have one of the most complete prescription departments, using only capable men. Mr. Clarke is an energetic young man comes to us highly recommended as a teacher of science and ability. He is congenial, doubt have a host of friends and followers. The Rosenberg Bros. have won a warm spot in the hearts of our people by employing a man of the race in this capacity and deserve the support and patronage of our entire group.—Adv. More than 35,000 persons of both races greeted Jack Johnson, his wife (white) and her aunt, Mrs. J. Adams' advent into Chicago and N. Y. City from Heavenworth, Kas., last. A big parade and a formal reception followed by friends by our people and a few white friends in both cities. Walking down Central Ave., from E. 30th to E. 20th St's, one morning last week, a representative of the Gazette saw possibly 150 men, mostly Italians, at work in the avenue, and just four of our men. Near E. 25th St., a member of the race was sitting on a stone holding his head over a large bucket of water well colored with blood. He had been struck on the right half of his upper lip (and cut badly) with an of flying steel from the large machine placed in the street. He had been standing near, touching the Italians work. When the police emergency ambulance arrived, two other members of the race half carried him to it, his head shaking like a person with "St. Vitas." A little oner, on the writer stood on the curbstone and heard another member of the race ask an Italian workman (on a work-car) to loan him a dime, while if there were three were between two and three hundred men of the race, out of work, he started us to wondering why we. The company Tom Fleming did not get the city administration to make some provision for the employment by the contractors of at least a goodly number of Afro-American workmen when the contracts were let for the work going in Central Ave.? This could and should have been done. What would happen to an Irish-American or an Italian-American councilman if Afro-Americans were doing similar work, to that in Central Ave., in the same steet of his ward while hundreds of his constituents stood on the sidewalk, of them hungry and thirsty ("with out the price") and all out of work, like those members of the race in Central Ave.? The Gillespie and Perry jobs will not satisfy the men out of work in Ward 11, with the condition noted in the foregoing staring them in the face (and stomach, too.) Some of our people, who insist on making everyone in the street-car listen to their conversation, are becoming a nuisance. Tuesday morning, in a Cedar Ave. car, a woman of the race talked so loudly that everyone in the car could hear everything she said. She proved a general disturbance. This same thing is true of too many of our men. One day, last week, the writer went into a store up Central Ave, to purchase a cantelope and was asked TWICE the price of a better melon in any of our markets or at Southworth's or Chandler & Rudd's. This same thing is true of about all the stores in that section of the city—they charge much more for every article they sell than they ought to. Go to market! Despite the inclement weather, or perhaps because of the coolness, a large crowd attended the emancipation celebration at Puritas Springs Park. Monday. The principal speaker was Mr. James M. French of Sandusky, whose address, an excellent one, was thoroughly enjoyed. A ball game, played by the Fears Giants and the American Woodman for a cash prize of $25, followed. The former won. Over $500 in prizes was given away. These prizes were secured through the Dresswell Co. and were gratis; Mrs Scott, the fur curator, given to the person holding the lucky number. In the evening, the excellent dance floor claimed the majority, although other amusements, particularly billiards and bowling, drew a large crowd. Rumor has it that Geo E. R.andel, who some weeks ago was "fired" from his city job because he insisted upon being a candidate for the council in ward 11, (so he said), is to withdraw from the race, if indeed he has not already done so. The rumor says that he has been promised another and a better position with the city by the Republican organization if he gets out of the contest, and that Dr. Joe Thomas, another candidate, will be given the position in connection with the Ave bathhouse that Sergs held. We play some months ago. The same rumor has it that Randolph's withdrawal from the race has resulted or will result in the endorsement of Sam Wood's candidacy by the club headed by E. R. Brown and Mose Dixon. The intense feeling against Councilman Tom Fleming's candidacy for re-election seems to grow in spite of the foregoing. There is much quiet talk of the entrance of another race candidate for the city council in ward 11. To Pastor A Large White Church Toronto, Can.-To fill the pulpit of one of the largest Presbyterian churches (white) in Toronto for five weeks with one of our ministers is the interesting departure from the general rule of supply for the summer months that Knox church is making this year. For last week and all of August, Rev. Joseph J. Hill of Roarowhe Baptist church, Hot Springs, Ark, will occupy Knox church pulpit, Dr. Hill has been a professor of science in a southern university, and is a professor of the Academy of Musto. He is a quiet, appraising and persuasive preacher with a message all his own, which he delivers with great eloquence. During the summer holidays, last year, he preached in the Moose Jaw Methodist church, with a seating capacity of 1,000, which was crowded at all services. Liberia to Get the Five Million!

His various numbers, all high class, were received with very generous applause and exceptional enthusiasm, well merited. His renditions were far above the average, while "The Last Hope," by Gottschalk, and the Rondo in C minor by Beethoven exceeded the expectations, of even the most sanguine, in beauty of tone and skill of execution. Prof. Calhoun's offerings of selections, played years ago by Blind Tom, were especially pleasing to the large audience. The selections of Madam Slaughter, J. W Wills and the Schuman quartet, composed of J. W. Noble, first tenor; Willard Greenwood, second; Wilbur Greenwood, first bass, and Rufus Tilman, second, were all well received. Prof. Henderson was the very efficient accompanist. This concert is but the fore-runners of many other big things of the kind to be given at Mt. Zion in the future. Much credit is due Mr. Noble, in charge of the music at Mt. Zion, for affording the public such a real musical treat. In connection with the foregoing, it is interesting to note that Prof. W. A. Calhoun, the eminent Afro-American musician, made application to appear as piano soloist with the Victor Herbert orchestra, before the Stadium Music Committee of New York University, N. Y. City. The request was all but fatly refused. But later when the committees, composed of musicians, of both national and international fame, learned of Calhoun's ability they extended him a cordial invitation to play for them at Aeolian Hall, Monday, June 21st. This is the first time an Afro-American musician was ever invited to appear before this body of eminent professional musicians, artists, and critics. Mr. Calhoun is a good product of the musical department of Oberlin College. He was formerly of Chattanooga, Tenn., but is now music director of the S. Coleridge Taylor society of the N. Y. City, and organist and choirmaster of Union Baptist church, that city. BEST EVER MADE We will send a gift-box kit Free to any address. BIG 优惠到你手边. Freeing our Toilet Articles. For our customers.

Paint Rock, Ala.—Mrs. C. M. 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 hadn'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 smiling. 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. If you suffer as these women did, take Cardui. It may help you, too. At all druggists. E 85 See us First for all JOHN S. Prices Reasonable. Sa JEWELER AND 3121 Central Ave., Cleveland, O.

(Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—Certain editors sneered at President Harding's statement that education is the one means to give the Negro his place in this government. He is correct! It is visible everywhere that Negros solely need education. Negro churches are the hot-beds of damnable ignorance, Educated young men and women are forced to accept the worship of fifty years ago or stay out of the church. Instead of well prepared discourses on the Sabbath the hearers are forced to listen to a whining harangue that would do violence to the intelligence of Negroes fifty years ago. Negro denominational schools are filled with questionable teachers of limited ability and still more limited intelligence. Only the men and women who will whoop up the "clique" of ignorance have a chance. Negro fraternal organizations are the hot-beds of ignorant and unsupervised leadership. Those at the head simply prey upon the other supervised dupes. Every fraternal organization that carries insurance would be honestly investigated because it was safe-guard the money of the people who pay it in continually. The odor of the illiterate Reformers still comes from Negro organizations. Sharpers both the军队 and women, live both fraternal organizations. The intelligence of the fraternalists are not comprehended by the most part of those who belong to them. Mystery and symbolism of the most learned crafts are destroyed by the bishop ignorance of those who for the most part stand at the head. Many Negro banks fail because they run not by approved intelligent methods but by ignorance and dishonesty. Negro business concerns, where capital is sought by issuing stock and shares of stocks, will not stand the light of honest investigation too often because for the most part the most unprepared Negro begins the enterprise and then surrounds himself with half-learned sharpers to do the people out of their money. Too many young Negroes in their teens are ignorant and dirty in their personal appearance. The average Negro walks the streets staring at everybody to see who will speak to him in his dirt. Negro women are often insulted because of this foolish habit—wanting everybody to speak to them. The use of soap and water is too limited. There is no sense in any person taking with them a foul body odor. The attempt to compensate for bathing by using cheap perfumes is criminal. Many homes among our people, the moment you enter them, fill your nostrils with foul air and a closeness that is distressing. Many Negro churches are so poorly ventured that health to stay through a service. The practice of conferring degrees upon ignorant men by cheap Negro schools has disgusted America. It is now time for the race to learn that it must struggle years and years for education like other races and the education the race puts upon ignorance must be speedily removed. The finding fault with other races because they refuse to accept the race's standard of education and ideals must cease. The only way this race of ours can cope with other races is to know as much of this world and things as those races know. Our intelligence in all things must be favorably compared with any race. Our recommending to positions of trust and honor men and women who are not qualified, must stop. President Harding is right and the race will benefit materially if it heeds his advice. The young men and women, who are being truly educated, must be given an opportunity to use their education. The church would do well to clean out its illiterate ministry and official boards and in their places to pious educated young men to preach and competent professional and business young educated men to rule the church. Let us do what Mr. Harding advised and at the same time fight the "crackers" of the South with their own weapons and come into our own because we know what to do with it. Southernizing the North The one great evil confronting our people of this country is the attempt, on the part of white and black southerners coming north, to bring their enemies to battle, and force them upon other people who hate them. Southern Negroes with What President Harding Said to Our People, Last Fall. "I am for democracy in its fullness." I am for democracy in its unfairness. "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." their "imcrow" beliefs and customs are unfitting the race to live in the north. The vilest prejudice and hatred imaginable these people bring with them and hold. Their hatred of a white face on the one hand, as well as their fear of a white face on the other, make the southern Negro, too often, a menacing problem in the north. Some southern Negroes even content for separate schools in the north on the score that it will furnish employment for colored teachers. It is better that a colored teacher never get a job in the north, if a "jim-crow" school has to be inaugurated for such a purpose. Then, too, the school would be inefficient and loose. Teachers would be appointed, not for efficiency but favoritism. The customs of the South would be installed in that school and the perceptions of it would surely be pernicious. The southern Negro with his little dingy shop filled with depreciated goods becomes nasty and irritable if our people don't buy his inferior stuff. He enters business to sell to Negroes. He enters business to sell to Negroes will establish clean business places, buy fresh and high-class goods, be polite and civil to all who come around, see the male of the same family, can use their wares, they will have no need to complain, because every race will patronize them. So often their places are the hang out for the loud-mouth, frightful and tough Negro who drives every decent person away. Negro eating places are made hideous by the sprawling, loud-mouthed, ignorant Negro who makes everybody know he is a fool by his everlasting babbling. The civilization of the north must not be ruined because of the willful and ignorant southerner, white or black. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the Inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to the many. File Wheeler Wylie.

The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob.

If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the county in failing to protect such prisoner or disguise such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such case from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein (83 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 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, or 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, but expect it to do for WHY DIDN'T THEY USE A REGULAR PIN CUSHION INSTEAD OF MY SHIRT? IF I OUT OU DON TO 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. 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. LEAVES $7,000 IN SOCKS AND JARS Johanna, Mystery Cook, Had No Faith in Banks Or Relatives. LAST NAME A MYSTERY Relatives Make Dash For Money When Doctor Calls Them For Negotiations—Money Hidden in Jars, Socks, Pots, Pans and Kettles. NEW YORK—For years, Johanna, last name a mystery, had led a excluded life as cook for Dr. W. E. Caldwell, 58 West Fifty-Fifth street. The home was her refuge and once a year old did she fare forth—and that was for a new hat. As far as the doctor could observe the one time she wore a hat was when she traveled forth to purchase new headgear. So the years passed until recently when Johanna became critically ill. Dr. Caldwell did his utmost for her. But she grew steadily worse and the doctor, who did not even know her last name, asked her if she possessed any relatives. With vehemence, Johanna declared that she was all alone in the world. "But," complained the perplexed doctor, "you are extremely ill and if you have any living relatives they should be notified." Johanna turned her face to the wall, but after long questioning gave the name of a "sister" and explained where she could be found. After her death Dr. Caldwell went in search of this relative, only to discover that the name and address were fictitious. Nothing remained but to go through Johanna's belongings. No clues as to relatives could be discovered, but in socks and hidden in jam jars and thrust in pots and pans and kettles and placed under carpets was money—much of it. An accounting by the doctor brought the sum to approximately $7,000. The need of heirs became evident. Dr. Caldwell remembered that at one time Johanna had been friendly with a former maid. The doctor discovered this maid and after her memory had been jogged a bit she remembered that Johanna had taken her once to a house on Thirty-Fourth street, but had insisted on the maid's remaining without. Dr. Caldwell went to this house and there discovered the relatives of Johanna. They were all over the premises. Among them was discovered a sister. These relatives, all chattering volubly, were herded in Dr. Caldwell's office. Bringing forth the jam jars, socks, kettles and pans, Dr. Caldwell began to count out the modest for: unee left by the late Johanna. The sight of the money was too much for the be wildered relatives, who made a dash for the table where the transaction was taking place and sought to get fistfuls of money. It was with difficulty that Dr. Caldwell restrained them. After the money was counted out it was turned over to Johanna's sister, who divided it among the crowd.
