Several of our confreres are publishing this statement: "The constitutionality of the Dyne- der department is upheld by De- partment of education." 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. Attorney 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-lynching 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.

Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: It was with great pleasure I received the copy of The Gazette, carrying large headlines and a fine description of our New York success. Allow me to extend my most heartfelt thanks and to let you know that I feel very highly honored to have such a large send off in The Gazette, a paper of such long standing as a criterion in Afro-American journalism. I have noted for years the good work you are doing for the race and hope you may continue for the good of the old "Forest City" and "Buckeye State." Yours truly. NOBLE SISSLE. FEDERAL AUTO LICENSES. Congress will be asked by the American Automobile Association to pass a reciprocal license act for automobiles. The suggestion has something to commend it in view of the increasing dependence on autos for travel and transportation from state to state. The Constitution gives Congress power "to regulate commerce...among the several states," and under this authority there is little doubt but that an act drafted for reciprocal licenses would hold water. Secretary Mellon has advocated an automobile tax of $10. Probably it would be better to assess it on the value of the car, and under a reciprocal licensing system the owners of the cars might be qualified on payment of the tax. A mass meeting will be held, Saturday evening, at 7:30 p. m., at Zion Hill Baptist church, 2541 E. 37th St., to protest against the organization of a local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. Drs. Jos Thomas, W. P. Saunders and John Taylor called the meeting. Deputy Oil Inspector Hudson Gov. Harry L. Davis, last week, appointed Juriman C. (better known as "Germany") Hudson a deputy oil inspector for this county, the position he held under Gov. Willis. At the same time, the Governor appointed Dr. McWilliams of Toledo a trustee of Wilberforce University. Richard Newell, the Governor's messenger, and Hudson are the Governor's only two Afro-American appointees who draw pay (not salary) from the state. A CHANGED POLICY. You may search the eight-year record of Wilsonism in vain for anything like this: A few weeks ago the Alexandria Produce Association, in Egypt, asked that bids be submitted for the carriage of Egyptian cotton to British and American ports. The representative of the U. S. Shipping Board, in Alexandria, submitted a bid on behalf of his principal which was considerably lower than the British bid. But a rule of procedure forade the awarding of a contract unless it was made by unanimous consent of the association. Fifteen voted for the American bid and one voted against it because of influence brought to bear by the Liverpool shipping combine. The award was withheld. Then our Shipping Board served notice that unless it received fair treatment it would take steps to apply discriminatory treatment to British ships in American ports, as it had authority to do under the Jones shipping act passed by the Republican Congress last year. What happened? The British combine backed water and offered a compromise of 50 per cent of the cotton freightage from Alexandria to American vessels. So by standing up for our rights we have accomplished that much. Now let the Shipping Board look into the charge that British cotton manufacturers have been refusing to accept cotton which came to England in American ships or under American insurance. "FLIVVER" PROFITS. In the first six months of operation of his new railroad Mr. Henry Ford makes a very rosy showing. If we consider only the relation of operating costs and revenue before and after he took control. He has turned a deficit into an operating profit of $500,000 in that length of time, has speeded up train schedules, handled more cars, increased wages, and materially reduced the time of turning raw material into finished automobiles. In that last remark lies most of the secret of that remarkable showing: The Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad under Mr. Ford's control is only a part of the machinery used in turning out "flivvers." Most of its traffic is parts and material entering into the railroad. There is a constant market for the Ford machine, hence there is a constant supply of freight to the railroad, enabling the most efficient handling of cars, arrangement of schedules, and employment of men. Perhaps Mr. Ford is entitled to special credit as a railroad operator, but it is certain that every road in the country would benefit enormously were it to receive the steady business guaranteed by the Detroit road by the "flivver" trade. The Argonnes lost their first battle in several weeks. Sunday, to the White Crosses, 8 to 2. Pete Willett got three hits in four times up. A large crowd of local rooters journeyed to Massillon, Sunday, to see the second Tate-Agathon game. At St. Louis, Sunday, the local Giants easily defeated the Dayton Marcos, 7 to 1. The Tate Stars will engage the Buckeyes at Columbus in a four-game series, starting today, Saturday. The chesty Kansas City Monarchs, holders of second place in our national baseball league, dropped into this burg last week and were treated to a rude awakening, dropping two out of three to the Tate Stars. Last Friday they were walloped in a double header, 8 to 6 and 6 to 4. Johnston, lefthanded hurler of the Tates, was easily master of the hard-hitting visitors until the ninth, when they scored four runs. Brown and Boyd led the batting assault of the locals with seven hits. In the second tilt Criwford and Hamilton were opposing pitchers and the latter was tight in the pinches, holding the Monarchs to six scattered hits. Johnston, local first baseman, played a "bang-up" game and featured with a drive over the right field wall. A large crowd saw the games. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS To Be Opened by Oberlin College, This Fall, According to Current Report—This at the Request of Southern Colored Girl-Students, Oberlin College is to segregate its Afro-American girl students, this fall "place them in a house to them-selves." 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 by 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! Oberlin College Oberlin, O. July 12, 1921. Mrs. Oliver A. Taylor, 1783 Crawford Road. Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Madame: — Your letter of July 5th addressed, to President King has been received in the President's absence. He is in California where he will be for several weeks. I am sure, however, he would be glad to have me answer your inquiry concerning the relation of Oberlin College to its Colored students. I am glad to assure you that Oberlin has not changed its traditional attitude toward the Negro race. You are correct in your statement that from the beginning, Oberlin has extended its privileges to students without restrictions as to race or color. There is at present no dormitory for Colored students. At one time we did have a house which was used exclusively by Colored students and we have had a similar house used exclusively by Chinese students. I think the College would have no objection to any group of students occupying a house under proper circumstances, whatever their race or color might be. I wish also to state that the College receives Negro students in its men's dormitory (the Men's Building) without restrictions, also young women students of the Negro race have the same opportunity to secure places in the dormitories for young women that other students have. They are exercising that privilege now as they have heretofore. During the last school year a group of representative Colored young women came to President King and suggested that in order to secure adequate and suitable accommodations, they would be glad to have a dormitory provided exclusively for Colored students. This was with the understanding that they were not giving up their privilege of "choices" and places in the other dormitories, but they recognized the fact that inevitably only a small frac- Jackson's $5,000 Chicago, Ill.-Gov.

In succeeding Mr. Angsten, Jackson becomes secretary of the commission, as well as one of its members, at a salary of $5,000 a year, instead of $3,500, his aldermanic pay. Jackson has a printing shop in his ward. SPECIAL NOTICE! Ambitions Ladies! Be a Professional Hairdresser and Skin Specialist.

"W" DORMITORY y Oberlin College, s Fall, at Report—This at the Colored Girl-Students, s Said. tion of the women students of any race or color could be accommodated in the college-owned dormitories, and that it therefore frequently seemed a hardship to the young women students (Colored) to find suitable accommodations in the town in private homes. As it happens, there are only a very few homes available where the Colored students are satisfied with the accommodations they receive. It developed, however, later in the season, that there were not enough students available to justify the renting and equipping of such a dormitory, for Colored students, and it was not arranged for. I wish to make it very plain that the idea of a dormitory for Colored students was thought of particularly for their own benefit and not as a matter of discrimination. I am sure you will recognize the limitations under which we work so far as the town is concerned, in housing Colored students, and it is hardly open to question that if we did have a dormitory available, a greater number of Colored students could be comfortably taken care of than is at all possible at present. Very truly yours. W. F. BOHN, Assistant to the President. (In the last few weeks, some of our girl-students of Oberlin College have circulated the report in this city that they have been notified that a building has been secured in Oberlin and that a "jim clown" dormitory will be opened for them there, this fall. Undoubtedly, as a result of the request of the Colored students referred to in Mr. Bohn's letter. They, however, deny that any of them ever made such a request and say that a dean called them before her and asked them if they wouldn't like "to have a Colored house." She asked them, also, if they would "prefer a nice white lady for matron of the Colored house or a woman of their own race. Sometimes, indeed often, our people are encouraged to make such unfortunate requests by members of the other class (whites) who are prejudiced or are for some reason or other (sufficient to them) seeking to cater to those who are prejudiced. That there are student members of the race who even could be induced to make such a request is what hurts. It is on a par with the act of a Colored woman (a comparative newcomer to Cleveland) who recently went to the authorities of a local hospital and asked that its Afro-American patients be segregated (which, was done, of course) so she could get a job as nurse for them.

As yet, our men have not been hired on the three sections of the Central Ave. sewer now working.

AUGUST 27,1921 President Harding ought to pardon those condemned victims of the Elaine, Ark. riots. The U. S. Attorney General is the only one in a position to speak for the Department of Justice. Assistant U. S. Atty. Gen. Goff cannot do so. Many of our newspapers have been imposed upon by N. A. A. C. P. propaganda for the Dyer federal anti-lynching bill which it is backing. --- Oberlin College is yielding to its southern girl students and their northern (prejudiced) sympathizers. That much is clear. What are our people of that little college city doing to head off the movement to segregate our girls at that institution when it opens in a few days? We want to inform Mayor Fitz-Gerald that there never was any good excuse for the organization of the bands of criminals and assassins that operated under the name of the Ku Klux Klan during and after the war of the rebellion (Civil War) and there is no good excuse for the organization of the so-called "new order" by the same name. --- The U. S. Senate has refused to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson's appointment (by President Harding) as Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. This, because he refuses to resign from the Republican National Committee, it is said. The charges (of a political nature) made against him are not worthy of much attention, as far as we are able to learn. ANTI-FLEMING A meeting, of representatives of the Universal Political club, E. R. Brown, pres.; Moses Dixon, sec.; ministers and other organizations, in ward 11, opposed to the candidacy for re-election of Councilman Thos. Fleming, was held on Wednesday evening in the Y. M. C. U. Bldg., E. 55th St., for the purpose of centering upon some other candidate than Fleming, or placing a new one in the field. The intense feeling against the Fleming candidacy seems to have grown immensely in recent weeks. It is encouraged by the "Starlight" Boyd effort at political leadership among our people in that ward and the city, made plain to all when Chairman Maurice Maschke, of the Republican county executive committee, told Major W. T. Anderson, Dr. E. J. Gregg, Dwight R. Williams, Dr. O. A. Taylor and Sam Woods to see "Star and Tom" (Fleming) when they approached him (Maschke) in an effort to secure the appointment of an Afro-American as an assistant county prosecutor, several months ago. The failure of the Republican organization to give our people one or more clerkships in all of the county offices, won at last fall's election, as promised by Chairman Maschke, has only added to the very general dissatisfaction among our people of the city, particularly those in the 11th ward. That a political storm is gathering, for this fall's campaign and election, is easily to be seen. The feeling against Mayor FitzLergan is growing daily, too. THE NEW KLU KLUX KLAN An advertisement in a recent issue of The Chicago Tribune, written by "Imperial Wizard" Simmons of Atlanta, Ga., head of the Ku Klux Klan, says in part: "The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is a law abiding, legally chartered, standard, fraternal order, designed to teach and inculcate the purest ideal of American citizenship." "Negroes," Catholics and Jews are debarred from membership in the organization. If Catholics and Jews are not wanted as members, and this seems to be the case, there is a reason for this which certainly cannot be a friendly one, as far as those classes of Americans are concerned Of course the statement that the new Ku Klux Klan is "a law-abiding, standard, fraternal order" is absolutely FALSE and so proven by its lawlessness in branding that Texas bell-boy on the forehead several months ago, and killing, whipping and otherwise mistreating other Texans and southerners, "colored and white," in recent weeks. "The fundamental object of the klan," Col. Simmons was quoted in a dispatch from Chicago on Aug. 17, "is to promote the doctrine of the supremacy of the white race and the preservation of Anglo-Saxon civilization. We are strictly American in spirit, despite the attacks of our enemies, for our spirit is the very opposite to tyranny. WE BELIEVE IN THE EXCLUSION OF THE YELLOW RACE AND THE DISENFRANCHISEMENT OF THE NEGRO." This, too, without the help of Catholics and Jews. There, ALL have it in a few words. Mayor William S. FitzGerald, on hearing of the effort to organize a local chapter of the K. K. K., said, Tuesday, he proposed to make a thorough inquiry into the movement and asked citizens to "rebrain from joining the movement until they know its exact nature." "If this organization," the statement continued, "is found to be promoting race or religious prejudices or planning to take any law into its own hands, I will do everything in my power to drive it from Cleveland." Mayor FitzGerald (as do all others) KNOWS that the very foundation of the new K. K. K. is the "promotion of race and religious prejudices" as was true of the old. Col. Simmons, the head of the infamous organization, frankly announces that through the public press of the entire country. What more does the mayor want before taking his threatened action? Does he want the K. K. K. to promote one of its mob uprisings or to perpetrate one of its notorious crimes, in this community, before he moves in the matter? There is absolutely no excuse for "if" ing now, in the face of Simmons' K. K. K. public announcement, if he (the mayor) really means what he said in the local daily papers, Wednesday. We herewith call upon the mayor (FitzGerald) to be at least as courageous as the executive head of Louisville, Ky., whose statement in the daily newspapers of a few days ago has been read and endorsed throughout the country. He announced that would be none of the infamous Ku Klux in his city if he could prevent it and he and any other mayor can prevent such organization, with the power the law confers upon them—if they really want to do so. Some months ago the Gazette called upon the mayor to stop the free and general distribution in this city of viciously minciting German propaganda literature, extremely harmful to our people and to children generally as well as insulting to all decent people, and all he did at that time, as far as we have been able to learn, was to write the editor of this paper a letter promising an investigation. Is he doing the same thing now? We fear there is little likelihood of his doing more in this case. A few months more and our people of this city will be asked to vote for him for mayor! Little wonder that so very many of them refused, last week, to sign his nomination papers, and many more will absolutely refuse to vote for him in November next unless he takes, and promptly, too, a better stand in this K. K. K. matter. With a Ku Klux Klan chapter in Cleveland we need, as mayor, a MAN in that position, one who will not endanger the lives of our people AGAIN because of politics, catering to aliens or to anti-Negro German-Americans, or others, as Mayor FitzGerald did months ago. Meantime, let those of our people, who have not done so, prepare in their homes for anything the mob may make necessary. CAN RENEW WAR RISKS U. S. Treasury Rulings Permit Rein statement 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." 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 riche 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 will not be confident that his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, AUGUST 27, 1921 MULLET FISHERIES OF SALTON SEA Salton Sea One of the Most Mysterious of World's Inland Brine Pools. "DEAD SEA OF AMERICA" Lowest Body of Water on Western Hemisphere — Considerable Colony Of Fishermen Grows Up But Future of Industry is Problematical. Some 20 years ago a canal was dug to carry water for irrigation purposes from the Colorado river to the Imperial valley in California. The deeper grade of the canal was a great deal steeper than the natural channel of the river. Consequently the water rushed through the canal with such velocity and in such volume that the artificial channel was quickly broadened and deepened and the waters became uncontrollable. Practically all of the water carried by the Colorado poured through what had been the canal into the valley, the basin of an old inlet to the Gulf of California which had been shut off from the gulf by a sediment bar formed by the Colorado Thus by accident a large inland lake was formed in a basin which had long been dry. This basin is now known as the Salton Sea. Efforts to divide the water back to its old channel have been only partially successful; a large body of water, strongly saline, remains in the basin and promises to remain indefinitely, in spite of rapid evaporation under the ardent heat of the sun. Large numbers of mullets, a species of salt-water fish, have been found in the lake and extensive fisheries have lately been developed. The Salton Sea is one of the most mysterious of all the world's inland brine pools. With its surface at present 257 below ocean level and its waters at times approaching the salinity of salt water has often been termed the "Dead Sea of America." It is the lowest body of water on the face of the western hemisphere and the lowest on earth with the exception of the Dead Sea in Palestine. Prior to the last break in the Colorado river dikes the water of the sea was about six times as salty as the ocean. That of course wound have precluded the possibility of fish living in it. In 1905 the river overflowed, cutting two channels to the Salton Sea which are now known as the New and Alamo rivers. The flood carried 160,000,000 cubic feet of water which freshened the water of the sea, raised its level and greatly extended its area. Several years after the flooding of the sea, the salt water mullet of the identical species found in the Gulf of California and other Pacific waters made its appearance in the sea. Some believe that the fish originally swam up the Colorado and were carried by the flood into Salton Sea. This theory is discounted, however, by testimony of fishermen to the effect that there is no authentic record of the salt-water mullet ever swimming up into the fresh water of streams. Another theory, and apparently a more plausible one, is that the inland sea was stocked with fish by white pelicans found there by tens of thousands. As it is known that isolated mountain lakes have been stocked with trout by birds it is not unreasonable to suppose that the mullets got into Salton sea in the same manner. A considerable colony of fishermen has grown up on the shores of Salton sea. The fish are lced aboard the fishing boats at once after they are taken from the lake and put in heat—temperatures of 125 degrees are common—would soon make them spoil. The fishermen work under canopies and keep in the water as much as possible in order to keep cool. The fish are carried by truck to a railroad for shipment to canning plants and markets. The future of the fishing industry there will be somewhat problematical until an accurate water survey is made and until samples of water taken from various portions of the lake in a period of years are analyzed. The maximum depth at present is 45 feet and the salinity varies at different depths and in different localities, according to the distance from the sources of fresh water supply. If the water should become as salty as it was prior to the 1905 flood probably the fish would die. Fishermen and old residents are convinced that the sea will never go dry or even recede to the point of increasing salinity beyond the endurance of the fish. The water is now holding its own against evaporation losses, they believe. Last year the sea receded four and a half feet and then without any apparent reason rose again two feet. MORE THAN ONE WAY. There is an old farmer in one of our suburbs who is not named for saying quaint and unexpected things. One day last fall he delivered a couple of dressed birds to a customer who remarked: "I should think, Mr. Brown, you'd simply hate to chop off the heads of those innocent chickens." "You're right ma'am," he said, "and so I never do it. I manage to get around it." "Get around it, how?" the housewife asked with cager interest. "Well, you see, ma'am," replied the farmer, "what I does is chop the chickens off the heads."—Boston Transcript. Relaxation Demanded "So you prefer the films to the stage?" "I do."

FILMS IN ARMY TRAINING SCHOOLS Pictures Will Show Mechanical Operations and Functions Like Animated Cartoons. FIRST USED DURING WAR Results Were Highly Successful— Government Now Hopes For Equal- ly Gratifying Results With Similar Pictures in Army Training Schools. The War Department has recently fallen into line with some of the great manufacturing industries in real- izing the tremendous importance of the moving picture for educational purposes. Scores of manufacturers are already using the new equipment for the purpose of recruiting employees, training them in their new trade and teaching them lessons in stopping lost motion. The army, which has recently gone into vocational training in a large way, has decided to equip some of its courses with sets of films by which soldiers taking occupational training can the more readily absorb what is before them. There are 107 courses in the army now, ranging from agronomy to zoology, and 105,000 soldiers are receiving instruction either along vocational lines or in general education. It is announced by Adjutant General P. C. Harris that a contract has been made by the War Department for new films for the automotive department in the vocational schools. When completed and approved and accepted by a representative of the war plans division, general staff and a representative from the motor transportation corps, the pictures will be taken over by the education and recreation division, storage service, of the quartermaster general's office. The reels then will be sent all over the country to all the military departments of the army, as well as to Panama, Hawaii, Germany and the Philippines, where they will be put to work in the various army schools which teach automotives. The pictures are made precisely like animated cartoons, with pen and ink, showing cross sections of engines, carburetors and other automobile machinery in actual operation. There is nothing military about them —the reels are purely illustrative of mechanical operations and functions. What is most valuable in the films is that the motion picture can be made to show that which is invisible. Some of the commonest processes of modern industry have never been seen except in the mind's eye, and this is particularly true of gas engines. Explosions take place in obscured confinement, and besides they are too quick to be caught by the human eye even were the cylinder made of glass. It may be interesting to note incidentally that this kind of film was first developed during the war for the instruction of machine gunners, to show them what to do when a gun jammed. It was highly successful. Accordingly, the same kind of fims were made for depth bombs, steam shovels, flame projectors, hand grenades and cannon in the act of firing. Explosions were slowed down so they could be viewed as a progression, seen through the open side of a gun. By this means, raw recruits were turned into expert operators by the thousands, freed from all limitations as to language, vision and perception. The government now expects equally gratifying results by using similar pictures in the army's vocational schools. WASTE OF RADIUM World's Stock Less By One-Half Than Two Years Ago. During the war extensive use was made of radium for luminous watch dials. These were extremely useful, inasmuch as, in timing night attacks and on many other occasions, it was necessary for officers to look at their watches, and to light a match would have been dangerous. Radium was used also to illuminate gunsights, thus rendering marksmanship at night much more accurate. Unfortunately, since the end of the war something like 95 per cent. of our entire output of this most precious of substances has been used for luminous paint. It is a senseless squandering of what may be irreplaceable; for the sources of radium are few, and the deposits of "carno- tite" ore in Utah, from which our own supply is mainly obtained, will be exhausted in about seven years. Considering the proved usefulness of radium in the treatment of cancer, this reckless waste is little short of criminal—especially in view of the fact that, for the making of luminous paint "mesotherium" would serve equally well. This is a by product of the manufacture of thorium, which is derived from monosite sand. Not only has the world's stock of radium failed to increase of late, but it is believed to be actually less by one-half than it was a few years ago. An Aid to the Sign-Painter. A reflecting projector, such as is used for throwing post-card pictures on a screen, has been used successfully for outlining designs to be painted on signboards. Not only does this save considerable time but it results in better work, we are told. Of course, it is necessary to work at night on outdoor signs. That is practically the only drawback to the method. Took Him as He Was. "Edith couldn't have thought much of the man she married." "Why not?" "She boasts that she has made another man of him." A.

Atlantic City, N. J.—As evidence of his deadly earnestness in the matter of fighting Jack Johnson, or Harry Wills, Jack Dempsey says he will go to the extreme of getting out and hunting work before he will mix with either of them. Is what he said, "I will not meet Jack Johnson on any terms. The public does not want this match, and as champion I will do nothing against public sentiment. If the match that certain people are calling for went through the boxing game would go back where it was. I think boxing is now on a good plane. Why spoil it? I may be tempted to meet Wills. They, of course, could tempt me with a big purse if I happened to be broke. But if the day ever comes when I broke I'll go out and look for work before I will consider any proposition that will hurt boxing."

The locals were in a sluggish mood and secured twenty-eight hits. Leonard Boggs and Jim Taylor essayed to stop the locals, but with poor success. Bert Gallia hurled for the steel men.

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. Initiation of a body of Clevelanders into the first chapter ever instituted here of the infamous Knights of Ku Klux Klan will take place within a short time, possibly a week or two, Henry Love, an organizer for the klan, announced Tuesday. The initiation will be conducted, Love said, by one of the national officials of the klan, and at that time the city will be given full details of the organization, its purposes and strength. Love has been here for some time. He says there is no special secrecy about the movements gaining a start here and that details are being withheld at this time only because the organization is not fairly consummated. 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.

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.

Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For thirty-eight years the Company owns a portion of this country. It has gathered a reader-clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. 5% ON SAVINGS MORTGAGE LOANS The Empire Savings & Loan Co. 2316 E. 55th St. Randolph 6778 Cent. 1715-W by, by REMOVING UNSIGHTLY and becoming more attractive.
