Duggar spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Garrett and DID NOT SAY SO! Secretary to the President, Geo. B Christian, is quoted—As To Southern Appointments. Washington, D.C.—"The President didn't say it," "The President did say it." Washington is just now turbulently discussing the yes and the yes and the yes, particularly attributed to the President which runs thusly: "I am very thoroughly conceived in my mind as to the policy that I am going to inaugurate with reference to appointments, and that is, I am not going to appoint any colored men to public office in the southern states. This thing called 'race prejudice' you cannot down by battling it and the only solution, as I see it for the colored man in the South, is to fall into the ranks behind white leadership until he can, acting through southern legislatures, work out his destiny. This is my policy," he continued, "and I am going to follow it, live or die, sink or swim." These remarks are alleged to have been made by our Chief Executive in the presence of Archibald Grimke, Shelby P. Davidson, Charles A. Cottrill and James A. Cobb. The story runs that these men called on the President representing the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and Shelby P. Davison is the member of the delegation who reports that Mr. Harding made the statement attributed to him in the foregoing paragraph. The other members have made no statements regarding the matter.

Pullie of this city wrote the editor of The Gazette as follows: "Please find enclosed $1.00 payment for six months' subscription to The Gazette I wish to say that it is a wonderful speaker for the race, particularly Dr Wm. A. Byrd's articles. I think he "hit the nail on the head" when he urges that our educated men and women be placed at the head of our churches. I think it is time our people were looking at themselves and examining themselves. When they find these units for office, replace them immediately with persons competent. This will mean progress for the race. HILLSBORO—Mr. and Mrs. Wm Captain's infant son, died, last Tuesday.—Mrs. Banks and grand-children have returned to Cleveland.

McKinney, To—Come to unexpectedly into possession of $50,000 might not mean the opening of new vistas of life to some people, perhaps, but to Samuel Bumpass, a laborer in a lumber yard here, it was about the biggest thing, that could have happened. The money was left to him by a man whose life he had saved thirty-four years ago. It was so long ago when this act of heroism was performed that Samhail almost forgotten it. Back in 1887, while George Easterling (white) was running a photograph studio here, a fire broke out one night in the building where the photographer lived. Sam was passing along the street at the time. He rushed into the building, risking his life in the flames, and dangged out the unconscious Easterling. Shortly after that Easterling moved to Chicago, where he is said to have become a wealthy merchant. He died recently and in his will he left Samuel Bumpass, the humble Afro-American, who had saved his life long years ago, the sum of $60,000. As To Saving!

MOORFIELD SIGER, ESW New York City.—Formation of the Haiti and Santo Domingo Independence Society was announced, recently. Ernest Angell of New York, attorney for the new organization, appeared before the Senate committee o. inquiry "to ask punishment for Americans guilty of atrocities in the island and for financial restitution for the injury done in the impairment of the sovereignty of the countries." Moorefield Storey of Boston was elected chairman of the society and the advisory council includes Robert Herrick, Chicago; Miss Anne Martin, Nevada, and Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver. Norworth as a "Cracker" Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: Last Sunday evening, I went to the Ohio theatre, where Jack Norworth is the leading man in the great mirtquake, "My Lady Friends." The show was wonderful but one or two musical numbers spoiled the pleasure I had derived prior to their reedition, Jack Norworth, the star, the composer, "the wonder-man," etc., came down from his high pedestal and lent car to the damnable and insidious propaganda of the southern "cracker" within our gates by dressing little dark colored girl in the usual way and singing to her about her "kinky" hair, etc. I feel this is a matter that should receive the early attention of our local organizations, and especially those of our people who visit that theater. Many of them do. Very truly yours, CHESTER K. GILLESPIE "The Birth of a Nation" and the K, K, K. Griffith's notorious film, "The Birth of a Nation," is no doubt largely responsible for the renown arise of the infamous Ku Klux Klan, when the film was launched, the censors gave it scant attention. They were busy discussing some such issue as Annette Kellerman's water costume. One or two of the worst mob orgies were deleted from the film in certain states but the portrayal of masked murderers as heroes, the representation of a secret empire administering its blood code in defiance of government, met no interference. . . Law enforcement is a real profession requiring trained experts. The well meaning person who, either individually or by participation in mob activity, attempts to usurp governmental authority is acting in contempt of courts, police and all other arms of law.—South Bend (Ind.) Tribune. Should Be "Unfrocked!" Should Be Unblocked: Tulsa, Okla—Many crimes have been committed by the cowardly in the name of the Ku Klux Klan, but the order, of which he is a member, of the killing of law enforcement. Rev. Dr Caleb A. Ridley Atlanta, Ga, declared in an address on the aims, and organization of the "invisible empire" here last week Wednesday night. His ridiculously untrue statements certainly must have made the tevil laugh, long and loud. They were not the only damphool assertions made by Ridley in his "address." Others were equally disgusting. Save Ball-Fan From Lynching Save Ban-Fun From Lynching Detroit, Mich.-A fight starting at a baseball game on the outskirts of Detroit, recently, led to the shooting of two white boys, one perhaps fatally, and an attempt to Lynch Sam Griggs, who is alleged to have done the shooting. Griggs was saved by the arrival of local police and reinforcements from Hamtramck, a suburb, after a crowd of men and boys hall severely beaten him with lists and baseball bats, and had tied a rope around his neck with the announced intention of hanging him. The "Big Hearted Colored Brother!" New York City—Freedom for Ireland, emancipation for Egypt and India, and prevention of future race wars by the use of his influence were asked of King George in cablegrams sent him tonight by the second annual convention of the United Negro Improvement association. Another cablegram was sent to Eamonn de Valera, "president of the Irish republic," pledging the organization's assistance in securing freedom for Ireland. Masons Open Meet Youngstown, O.—The grand lodge F. and A. M. of Ohio, opened a four-day convention here, Monday, with about 300 delegates in attendance. There was an official welcome to the city from Mayor Fred J. Warnock. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Makes The Party Chamelion—Two Things The Leaders Have Not Considered The Outlook! (Special To The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.-We are reliably informed that it is the policy of the Republican party, sanctioned by the present Republican National Committee, to attempt to build up a Republican party in the South by encouraging southern white men to come into its ranks, leaving our men to do as they think best. In other words, the party is attempting to break the solid South by inviting white southerners to enter it upon the basis chosen by white southerners. Southern Republicans of white extraction are as southern so far as southern traditions are concerned as white southern Democrats. The Republican party has agreed, for the present, to allow the South to have its Republican party as per its wishes and our people of that section must accept the attitude of the white southern Republicans as the will of the party of Lincoln. Against this policy, we have set our face with all of the force that lies within us. If true, it is an ignoble surrender to the worst that is in the government. It means that the Republican party is chameleon-adapting its color to its environment. In the north, the party will reflect northern traditions but in the South, southern. The leaders of this movement have mistaken the spirit of present day politics. To build up a Republican and Democratic party in the South from which our people are barred, is to make the South more ridiculous before the world for its laxness as well as to inform the world that America is in need of a party that believes in righteous principles rather than temporary party success! The Dred Scott decision was not as complete surrender to southern laxness as this decision of the party. There are two things that the leaders of the party have not conceded: First, that in seven states of the North, the balance of power lies in the hands of our voters. Most seriously they will use their ballots for the best interest of their southern brethren. "WHITE MAKES RIGHT " In This Country—No "Closed Season" for U.S. Says Atty. Wm. H. Lewis—See Your Congressman! Boston, Mass. During the course of an address to the mass meeting of the N. E. R. League held in this city, recently, Atty. Wm. H. Lewis said and very pertinently, too: "All of you must get under the shirts of your congressmen and senators, and show them you are back of your demands for the recognition of our race. All states in the Union have laws prohibiting the slaughter of fowl, fish and animals during certain seasons of the year, but there is no closed season in this country for the safety of the black man. "The Germans started the world war," he continued, "firm in the belief that might makes right; but in this country white makes right—and laws—for the whites; the mob makes laws for the black race. You have got to get behind these bills now before Congress, which will go far toward enforcing the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitutions of the United States." This meeting marked the opening of a campaign to push legislation at this session of Congress, making for recognition as equal with whites, and to call on President Harding to carry out his pre-election assurances of fighting for equality. DEMANDS PROTECTION From the Lawless Ku Klux Klan I South Dakota, Not, Texas Sioux Falls, S. D.-Tom Ayres (white), state manager of the Nonpartisan League, has telegraphed Gov. W. H. McMaster's asking protection from the Nuxx Klan. Ayres said "I am informed that the Klan, a secret, oathbound organization with a record of assassination and arson, has effected an organization in South Dakota to fight the Nonpartisan League and other progressive organizations. It is to be presumed, in spite of its professions to the contrary, that it will pursue its customary methods in this state. I demand that you protect the property and lives of South Dakota people from this criminal conspiracy against the peace and dignity of this state and use your peace officials to bring the organizers of the criminal gang to justice." Must Balse $12,500 Fourteen hundred claims have been filed against the city of Tulsa, Okla., and county for property burned during the riot—value of property burned, nearly $5,000,000. Fifty of our men have been indicted. The city will not permit the people to rebuild their property unless they use bricks; therefore thousands are living in tents with winter 1800 JUNIOR IS BEST COPY FIVE CENTS nciples? NEW EFFORT Republican Party e. South hamelion—Two Things e Not Considered— Outlook! Second, that southern whites are chiefly Democrats because they believe slavery was right, and that the South was whipped in the Civil War Dr. William A. Byrd by the superiority of numbers. The beliefs and attitude of the South have never changed and the South will repay the North, if ever it gets an opportunity, for the blow it administered to it during the Civil War. In other words, the hatred of the South against the "Yankee" is more violent than the hatred of the South toward our people. Negroes in the North and whites in the South will make it so hot-for the Republican party it will be forced to return to sanity or be driven out of business. Lack of principle is what defeated the Republican party under President Taft. The same thing will meet the party again, if it pursues this mistaken policy. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. last approaching.

THE REASON WHY Freight rates are high and people are justly asking that they be lowered. But in days gone by, freight rates were lower than they should have been and the representatives of the people, who had control of rates, did not advance them in proportion to the increase in prices of commodities and other services. That is the real reason why freight rates are now out of proportion. If freight rates had gone up, along with other rates, they could have come down along with other rates. FARMER HIT FIRST. The New York Times, Democratic, publishes a chart showing that farm products have suffered greater deflation than any other class of commodities. Which is one item of evidence tending to corroborate the assertion so frequently made that the Federal Reserve Board timed and directed its deflation crusade in such a way as to hit the farmer first and hardest. And we'd like the Times to remember that it was a Democratic Board. Our advertisers want your trace. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask for your trade in the columns of this paper! It seems to be an assured thing that Harry Wills and Jack Johnson will meet in the ring on Labor Day, probably before a Denver club. ```markdown ``` SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or reg- istered letter Entered at the postoffice in Clevel- land, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWS-EST and BEST in the country. With this issue, "The Old Reliable! Gazette enters its thirty-ninth year. We shall have more to say anent this later. Some one, presumably the manager of the Ohio Theater, this city, should tell Jack Norworth, actor, that he is in Cleveland, Ohio, not Atlanta, Ga. Just how this country is "progressing" is indicated in the announcement that the Jefferson Davis is obelisk, 175 feet high, will be unveiled on June 3, 1922. Davis was "president of the southern confederacy" (rebel organization of '61 and '65). Editor Porter of the Knoxville East Tennessee News, asks if $25,000 will break Editor Moore of the N. Y. Age. Why no, brother; it will just "put him on easy street"—if you or some one else will make him a present of the amount. While France is materially increasing the number of her colored troops this country has about wiped out all of its Afro-American troops with the exception of the four regiments of "regulars." The last Democratic Congress did that. The Ku Klux Klan of North Carolina was so "rotten" that its head, one Major Craven, has disbanded it. This ought to be done wherever there is a branch of the secret order. It is NOT a law-abiding and law-respecting organization but just the opposite. What is the difference between the Garvey movements, DuBois' use of N. A. A. C. P. funds to promote his Pan-African scheme and the N. A. A. C. P.'s financing its Haitian investigation with poor Afro-American's money and its collection of money as the result of its support of a "federal anti-lynching law?" Oberlin College is to segregate its Afro-American girl students, this fall "place them in a house to themselves." In plain words, the institution is to have a "jim crow" dormitory. The president of the college is Prof. King, a member of the N. A. A. C. P. for years. This is enough to make the bones of Henry Lee turn over in his grave. We have some very good people in the little college town of Oberlin. Are they going to sit idly and make absolutely no effort to head off this new segregation movement? Will the N. A. A. C. P. drop President King from its membership? We shall see! MERELY GOFF'S OPINION. Several of our confreres are publishing this statement: "The constitutionality of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill upheld by Department of Justice." This, because Assistant U. S. Attorney General Guy D. Goff, said he believed the U. S. Supreme Court would hold it constitutional if the bill is ever enacted into law. Mr. Goff is in no position to UPHOLD the Dyer bill or a Dyer or any other anti-lynching law, if one should be enacted by the Congress. That is a duty of the U. S. Supreme Court. He is simply expressing his personal opinion. Against Mr. Goff's personal opinion stand the statements of several U. S. Attorneys General and a decision of the U. S. Supreme Court, handed down many years ago. All to the effect that the several states of the Union are supreme in the matter of legislation against mob violence and lynching. In plain words it is a state right—to legislate against mob violence and lynching—and the Congress is powerless in the matter. This fact is what prompted the writer, twenty-five years ago, to secure the enactment by the Ohio Assembly of the first effective mob violence or anti-lynch law in this country. It still stands as a model for about all other legitimate attempts to secure such legislation. The Dyer and other Congress bills are all for political and financial purposes. The congressmen who introduce them are after the political effect, while certain race organizations look to the financial returns that flow from their announcements of support of such abortive attempts. "ME FIRST." WASHINGTON WAS A MODEL FARMER Took Great Interest and Made Distinot Improvements in Agricultural Implements. BEST FARMER OF HIS DAY Worked Out Plans For Crop Rotation For Periods Up to Five Years—Invented One of the First Deep-Soll Plows in America. George Washington, who was declared to have been "first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his country men," seems also to have stood foremost among the agriculturists of his day. He was an enthusiastic and a very practical farmer and was ambitious to win the title of "first farmer of America," a writer in Successful Farming tells us. Indeed, he probably was the best farmer of his day. In his communications with his overseers he dwelt insistently on the value of manure and the conservation of the soil's fertility. He practiced and advocated a rotation of crops. He took pains to improve the quality of his crops and he was constantly culling out and breeding up his livestock, even importing sires to improve his flocks and herds. The fact that Washington was actively interested in agriculture has been given little attention in the schools perhaps because it was regarded until recently as a matter of little importance. Yet he gave fully half of the 46 years after his removal to Mt. Vernon to the actual management of his farms. When called away to attend public affairs he was in constant correspondence with his overseers, giving them detailed instructions for the handling of his plantations and receiving reports from them. When he died he left an enstate worth $530,000. This included about 60,000 acres of land in Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York. The tillable land was rented, except the 8000 acres of the Mt. Vernon estate. Here $200 acres were under cultivation, producing a wide diversity of crops and supporting many hundreds of livestock. Washington was early convinced that the Virginia system of growing crop after crop of tobacco was ruinous to the soil. He cut down the tobacco acreage on his estates until only enough was grown to pay for the yearly cargo of supplies purchased for the plantation in England. He also regarded repeated crops of corn as injurious to the soil.

ALMER'S LABORATORIES A. DI, ATLANTA, GA. Dr Fred Palmer's SKIN WHITENER PREPARATIONS DR. FRED PALMER'S LABORATORIES Dept. D1, ATLANTA, GA. Dr Fred Palmer's SKIN WHITENER PREPARATIONS many Virginia farmers of to-day violate this basic principle which Washington knew. He worked out plans for crop rotation for periods up to five years and saw that they were carried out. Flax wheat, clover, potatoes, hay, buckwheat and turnips were among the principal crops grown. In his later years he tried to grow as much grass as possible in order to improve the fields and by grazing diminish the amount of labor required. He experimented with alfalfa or lucerne as he called it, and got it to grow, but his soil was a little too acid to give the best results. It probably will surprise many to learn that Washington invented one of the first deep-soil plows in America. This was a distinct improvement over the crude implements in use before that time but when he heard about a new plow made in England he got one and put it to use on his land, regarding it as superior to his own He was always on the alert for improved tools and was constantly importing farm equipment from England to Mt. Vernon. He had 300 slaves but it is not known definitely how many of these were farm workers, although in 1791 he referred to his 115 "hands." His overseers were hired. Although they were the best men to be found, they were often unsatisfactory. At the time of the Revolutionary War he wrote that an overseer, with an accomplice, "I believe, divided the profits of my estate on the York river tolerably between them, for the devil of anything do I get." He was convinced that "middling land" was likely to be more profitable than "rich land at a distance." Head overseers in 1798 received a salary of 140 pounds, a fairly large sum then but one that few farm hands would consider now. Washington, found slave labor anything but satisfactory. More than once he expressed the wish that he might be totally rid of it. Nevertheless, his solicitude for the welfare of the negroes was great. Even in the strenuous days of the Revolution, he wrote special instructions to his overseers to see that the slaves were "plentiful fed and properly clothed." When he learned on one occasion that smallpox had broken out among the negroes he hurried back at once and personally took charge of the situation. A number of fine stallions were kept at Mt. Vernon and advertised in the Virginia papers. There was also a Spanish jack in which Washington took considerable pride and which was the source of much amusement to him. Although the Spanish law at that time forbade the exportation of asses of the best strains, the king of Spain, learning that Washington desir'd a jack, sent him one of the best. The animal in consequence was named "Royal Gift." ROADHOUSE PRANKS. The Proprietor, a Ventililquist, is the Creator of Merriment For Guests. A certain roadhouse on Staten Island is the scene of many amusing pranks played on the new customers at the instigation of their friends. The owner is a ventriloquist, and all one has to do to see the fun is to give him the name of some one in the party and wait. Sometimes a voice is heard calling for help as if from the other side of a hedge, and the uninitiated chases about hunting for the person in distress until the laughs of his friends inform him that he is the victim of some sort of joke. At other times a woman's voice is heard outside the door demanding admittance and expressing a desire to shoot the one whose name has been given. Many people visit the place for the express purpose of having the laugh on some friend of theirs, and they invariably get it. New York Post.

For hundreds of years the number 13 has been regarded as bringing certain misfortune. Even in the present age of education and enlightenment, there are multitudes of people who regard it with fear and dread. These people never think of starting an undertaking on the 13th of the month; they will do almost anything to avoid eating at a table round which 13 persons are seated; they shum as pestleence everything which in any way involves the fatal number. The experience of many from the earliest times would seem to furnish a substantial basis for this superstition, but after all misfortunes connected with 13 for the most part are but coincidences. Usually cases of so-called bad luck are specially emphasized while no-one pays attention to happenings which turn out well, even though 13 may be mixed up with them in various ways. Doubtless all other numbers are quite as unlucky as 13 but no-one notices it; 13 has got a bad reputation and the superstitious simply won't let it live down. As is well known, President Wilson has found that if 13 is any different from other numbers it brings him good luck. A still more remarkable case where 13 has proved lucky rather than unlucky is that of George Haller, of Bellefontaine, Ohio, who served with the A. E. F. in France. On July 13 Haller started for the war zone in a train made up of 13 cars, drawn by engine. The ship that carried him across the ocean was conveyed by 13 vessels and the voyage consumed exactly 13 days. On reaching France he was assigned to the 13th division of engineers and quartered in barracks 13. Later he got aboard a train of 13 cars, engine No. 13 hauled it onto the main line and in due time it rolled in Verdun, on track No. 13. Shortly after this, Haller's organization was placed under the command of the 13th regular officer. After the armistice was signed and it appeared that the trouble was "over over there" Haller with his comrades embarked for the homeward voyage on the 13th of the month and reached America 13 days later. After debarking engine No. 13 pulled their train to the demobilization camp. Haller was finally discharged from the service and started home, boarding train No. 13, consisting of 13 cars, on track No. 13. In due time he reached home safe and sound, having been in the army of the United States just 13 months. THE MOON'S PHASES. It is Dead Orb and Would Be Dark if It Did Not Receive Light From Sun. An English newspaper explains the changes in the appearance of the moon observed from the earth as resulting from variations in the earth's "shadow" thrown on the satellite by the sun. Everyone who understands even the rudiments of astronomy knows that when the earth's shadow is thrown on the moon we have a lunar eclipse. The moon is a dead orb and would be totally dark but for the light thrown on it by the sun. When it is between us and the sun the unilluminated side of it is toward us and therefore we see nothing of it. This is the so-called new moon. As the satellite moves through its orbit, changing its position relative to the earth, a portion of its illuminated surface becomes visible. This portion increases from night to night until the moon reaches a point directly behind us, when its whole illuminated surface is toward us and it appears as a full round disc—the full moon. From this time the illuminated portion is gradually turned away from us until at length none is visible. CAN RENEW WAR RISKS U. S. Treasury Rulings Permit Reinstatement of Lapsed Insurance—Attention, Ex-Service Men! Washington, D. C.—New treasury rulings liberalizing preceding regulations under which lapsed or cancelled war risk term insurance may be reinstated or converted were announced July 1, by Director Forbes of the bureau of war risk insurance with the approval of Secretary Mellon. The feature of most importance to former service men is the provision that term insurance that has lapsed or has been cancelled may, regardless of how long the applicant has been discharged, be re-issued or reinstated and converted to government life insurance at any time prior to Jan. 1, 1922. The new regulations supersede the previous ruling that limited the time for reinstatement to "July 1, 1921." Examination for Second Lieutenants Washington, D.

Tula, Okla.—Propaganda intended to embarrass the relief committee, which has taken an active stand against the attitude of Tulaa and its white real estate board, in the matter of the retention of Negroes' land in the district where their property has been destroyed, is being scattered all over the country. Surprise has been exhibited by white citizens of the city to find that certain members of the race are finding money available in other places than Tulaa to reconstruct their homes and rehabilitate themselves. Quite recently a white lady rode down into Greenwood St. in her car and asked one of the prominent black men who it was who was furnishing him funds with which to rebuild. "There are twelve millions of Negroes in the United States," answered this wary gentleman, "and we are collecting fifty cents apiece from them for rebuilding purposes," the words, the white citizens of Tulaa, attempted to withhold financial assistance from those who desire to rebuild on their holdings, and they are attempting to locate all agencies from which Negroes receive assistance. The Negro who gave the answer above was more diplomatic than truthful. He nevertheless carried his point of keeping certain interested folk in the dark. Here is the story that was carried in the Associated Press, in an attempt to discredit the colored Relief Committee: / Tulsa, Okla., July 29.—Some of the citizens of this city are agitating a more expedite distributing and accounting of a considerable sum of money said to have been collected here through subscriptions from out-of-town persons for riot refugees' relief. It is claimed that the money is credited in a bank and not being used in the district's destitute and really in need. O. W. Gurley is said to be chairman of the relief committee. This report, circulated all over the nation, has proven very embarrassing to the Tulsa Relief Committee and their representatives. It is to be expected that Negroes everywhere would want to feel that they were not being buncoed. It is true that several irresponsible citizens have attempted to collect funds in several places, but the Associated report does not seek to deal with the issue. It indicts the regular committee here, of which O. W. Gurley is an active member. The attempt to cast aspersions upon the committee is really an attack upon the Negroes' rebuilding program, on the part of certain influences who seek in every way to embarrass and harass those of our group who have the courage to attempt to rebuild their property in the business area. Gurley has abolished the construction of his building on the east side. Greenwood St., and has started his other building on the other side of the street. Here is a general survey of the group who constitute the Relief Committee: S. D. Hooker, who is chairman, is one of the most responsible Negro business men in America. He was prior to the riots, the partner in the famous Elliott-Hooker clothing of Tulsa. He has been connected with the "Y" effort here, and before the riot, commanded the respect of both black and white. He is also a member of the Oklahoma Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation. Rev. R. A. Whittaker, secretary of the committee, is the pastor of Mount Zion Baptist church, the church which sustained the loss of $85,000, during the riots' fire. G. A. Gregg, executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Hunton Branch, is a man who is known beyond the confines of Oklahoma, because of his many years of honest effort in organizational effort among Negroes. Atty. E. I. Saddler has been a resident of Oklahoma, who lived there for about 20 years, where his record is unblemished, before coming to Tulsa. As a public man and a lawyer, he is known all over the state. J. Tyler Smith, treasurer of the committee, is one of the most prominent educators in the state of Oklahoma. His father is now operating a large grocery store in Muskogee. Before the riot, he and his father operated the "Welcome Grocery store" in this city. They carried a stock warehouse, $10,000. Rev. H. T. Johnson is the secretary of the State Inter-Racial Commission. He has pastored the Wesley Chapel M. E. church of Tulsa for many years, and is known all over Oklahoma as one of our most trusted leaders. Rev. Jas. A. Johnson is a presid- ing elder of the A. M. E. church, Tulsa district. He has large property holdings in several places in Oklahoma, and can be counted upon at all times to be a pillar of trust. J. H. Goodwin is a real estate operator who has made his way since coming to Tulsa from the southland. His dealings have been honest and he too is respected and has the confidence of our group. Horace S. Hughes is an instructor in the city school system. Dr. R. W. Mottley is a physician, who has been here for several years. Prof. J. W. Hughes is principal of the Grade schools of Tulsa. He is a heavy realty holder; has been connected with "Y" work here and for several years has been prominently mentioned for the Grand Mastership of Oklahoma Masons. Dr. S. S. Jones needs no introduction. He is a national character, having been connected with the National Baptist Convention for many years. He is one of our ablest leaders, and is president of the General Baptist Convention of Florida. E. A. Loupe and Rev. James R. McClain are both well known and have the respect of all who know them. The time has come when in crisis we must refuse to be moved from race leadership. These men were tried and true before the riots and they are true and worthy now. Propaganda, such as is going the rounds, is circulated for purposes obvious to discerning. Money is being raised because we need to assist in every way to relieve the city and needy. Five attorneys have been employed by this committee to defend the score or more of Negroes who are charged with riot. These attorneys are all able members of the bar: R. Emmett Stewart, Muskogee; G. W. Brown, Chicago; Elsina Scott, Topeka; E. I. Saddler, Tulsa; and J. W. Burns, (white), Oklahoma. He will be made to recover every dollar lost in the city has been lost through arson and loot. This is your fight and you should not hesitate to put every bit of your energy in dollars behind the effort for restitution. If you are in doubt as to the authority of the representative in your midst, telegraph the headquarters of the committee at 116 North Greenwood St., Tulsa, Okla.; 116 North Greenwood St., Oklahoma, dress 1816 Twelfth St. N. W. Washington, D.; or Roscoe Dunne, editor Black Dispatch, 300 E. 2nd St. Oklahoma City, Okla. WHITE SCAVENGERS IN TULSA TULSA RELIEF DAY! Our citizens of Tulsa, Oklahoma, thru their relief committee, respectfully ask that one Sunday in this month be set aside in all churches as Tulsa Relief Day, and that the pastors and officers ask the prayers of every member of their respective congregations for the thousands of victims of the cruel mob that looted and burned the homes and business places, churches, schools, lodges and everything that the people possessed, and to this day have tried to take the land for other purposes and remove our people to a remote field of eighty acres of land wholly outside the city limits and to which a good title cannot be had. 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. Hooker, chairman, Cotored Citizens Relief Committee, Cor. Exeter and Easton Sts., Tulsa, Okla. Ohio's Anti- Leads the Coun Against The Mob and Work of a Men —Also Ohio's C Our mob-violence or anti-lynchin bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith INTOXICATED FISH. Natives of Guam Use Fruit of Tree To Stumpify Catch. The increasing commercial importance of Guam is illustrated in a recent visit of the postmaster of Guam, principal city of our smallest possession, to the United States in behalf of better postal service for the island. Curious customs and natural resources of Guam are described in a National Geographic Society bulletin as follows: "The fruit of a common tree (Barringtonia speciosa) the natives use to stupefy fish. "The fruit is pounded into a paste, incrusted in a bag, and kept over night. The time of an especially low tide is selected, and bags of the pounded fruit are taken out on the reef next morning and sunk in certain deep holes in the reef. The fish soon appear on the surface, some of them lifeless, others attempting to swim, or falting struggling with their ventral side uppermost. The natives scoop them in their hands, sometimes even diving for them. "In the mangrove swamps when the tide is low, hundreds of little fishes with protruding eyes may be seen hopping about in the mud and climbing among the roots of the Rhizophora and Brugulera. These belong to a group of fishes interesting from the fact that their air bladder has assumed in a measure the function of lungs, enabling the animal to breathe atmospheric air. "Men, women and children of Guam are expert swimmers, and are as much at ease in the water as on land. As they throw themselves into the sea and come bounding from wave to wave they remind one of dolphins. "According to the testimony of early writers, their houses were high and neatly made and better constructed than those of any aboriginal race hitherto discovered in the Indies. "They were a happy, careless people, fond of festivities, dancing, singing, storytelling and contests of strength and skill, yet sufficiently industrious to cultivate their fields and garden patches, build excellent houses for their families, braid mats of fine texture and construct canoes which were the admiration of the early navigators. They were much given to buffoonery, mockery, playing tricks, jesting, mimicry and ridicule, offering in this respect a striking contrast to the undemonstrative Malayans. "The natives of Guam are, as a rule, of good physique and pleasing appearance. Owing to their mixed blood, their complexion varies from the white of a Caucasian to the brown of a Malay. Most of them have glossy black hair, which is either straight or slightly curly. It is worn short by the men and long by the women, either braided, coiled or dressed after the styles prevailing in Manila. "The people are essentially agricultural. There are few masters and few servants on the island. As a rule the farms are not too extensive to be cultivated by the family; all the members, even the little children, lend a hand." Suggesta That Our Race Wage Origi Irally Males Animals Medical men have long known that a simple solution of salt in water is a fairly, satisfactory substitute for blood in the circulatory system but the ordinary salt solution is lost within a short time as a result of transfusion through the walls of the veins and arteries. Surgeons discovered in the late war that transfusion may be prevented by adding to the salt solution a certain gum which increases the body of the liquid. The fact that the membranes and tissues of the human body will allow salt water to seep through them while they will hold fresh water, is regarded by scientists as proof that our race were originally marine animals. We no longer swim in the sea, but the sea swims in us. That is, we still have salt water in our system, and it is as impossible for us to exist without it as for a marine fish to exist without his native element of salt water. Ohio's Anti-Lynching 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 **Mobs** Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280.

(93 v 163 11) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) 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 or for lack of regardless or race or color, the failure of the act, commissions, 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 to the persecuted person. The person is 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. The trouble is that the person is often as they should, but expect it to be 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 Beatty 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 now governs the need for 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. The Gillette Cleveland, G. My Dearest Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to tell you that the separate cover, the Ohio Law Report, 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. (GEE. THAT WEISS WAS A PEACH!)
