THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1921 Its History and Criminal Acts, in Recent Months in the South and West—“The Soul of Chivalry”—Interesting Reading The modern Ku Klux Klan, according to its descriptive folder entitled "The Ku Klux Klan—Why—What," has been in the making for the past twenty years. Its Imperial Wizard, Mr. William Joseph Simmons (who has copyrighted the folder), "for fourteen years thought, studied, and worked to prepare himself for its launching." Dedicating his life to the cause, "he kept his own counsel during these years, and in the silent recesses of his soul he thought out the great plan." In the fall of 1915 he was ready and on Thanksgiving night of that year he took thirty-four intrepid spirits of the top of a mountain near Atlanta; Ga., and there "on the mountain top that night at the midnight hour while men braved the surging blasts of wild wintry mountain winds and endured a temperature far below freezing, bathed in the sacred glow of the fiery cross, the Invisible Empire was called from its slumber of half a century." With the spring of 1921 there came principally in the State of Texas, a remarkable crop of mob cutrages, all perpetrated by masked bands of men and so similar in technique as to suggest a common origin. Among the persons attacked were both blacks and whites, men and women, and there was such a variety of apparent causes as to defy analysis. Responsibility for two, at least, of the mobbies was publicly avowed by the Beaumont, Texas, branch of the Klan and it was widely assumed, in the absence of local disavowal, that such responsibility was general. Southern as well as Northern newspapers became loud in their denunciation of the violence of the Ku Klux Klan. The Imperial Wizard apparently became alarmed, and issued statements (inserted in many papers as full-page paid advertisements) deying that the lawlessness was due to the Klan. He even revoked the charter of the Beaumont branch, which had indiscretly written to the papers, with the Klan's official seal, glorifying in One might have expected that such a portentous event would have been attended by some extraordinary disturbance of the celestial sphere or at least by some strange and mysterious currents in the affairs of men. And indeed, on July 1st, there did appear from the Aulet of His Majesty, the Imperial Wizard (Mr. William Joseph Simmons) an "Imperial Proclamation" "directed to the whole world." in which the aims of the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Klu Klu Klan, Inc., were set forth. This impressive document, done in a literary style which should perhaps be described as neoAfrican, stated simply that the Order, inter alia, was "dedicated to the sublime and pleasant duty of providing: generous ald, tender sympathy, and fraternal assistance in the effulgence of the light of life and amid the sable shadows of death." All men who could qualify were invited "to approach the portal of our beneficient domain and join ... the sacred duty of protecting womanhood ... to maintain forever white supremacy in all things ... to bless mankind, and to keep eternally ablaze the sacred fire of a fervent devotion to a pure Americanism." In conclusion the Order was stated to be "the soul of chivalry, and virtue's impenetrable shield." The Imperial Wizard made this verbal magnificence somewhat more specific in an interview later vouch-safed a Chicago representative of the Universal Service. The reporter, after passing the "ghoul," "the goblin," and the "cyclops" who guarded approach to the Grand Wizard, was told: "We exclude Jews because they do not believe in the Christian religion. We exclude Catholics because they owe allegiance to an institution that is foreign to the government of the United States. Any native-born American who is a member of the English church or any other foreign church is barred. To assure the supremacy of the white race we believe in the exclusion of the yellow race and in the disfranchisement of the Negro. It was God's act to make the white race superior to all others. By some scheme of Providence the Negro was created as a serf. We harbor no race prejudices. The Negro never had and has no, today a better friend than the Ku Klux Klan. The law-abiding Negro who knows his place has nothing to fear from us. We do not act until called upon but if needed we have a great invisible and mysterious force that will strike terror into the hearts of lawbreakers." Which, after all, gave more hint of the sober reality of the Khan than did the Imperial Proclamation of 1915. For some years after the proclamation indeed little was heard of the Klan. The fiery cross appears to have remained hidden under a bushel. In the fall of 1920, however, the name began to appear in the newspapers in a disquieting manner. On October 21 the New York Tribune reports that a certain Peter McMahon of Yorkers, while traveling South to assist a lady in a dispute about her share in the estate of a deceased relative, was "taken from a train at Trenton, South Carolina, by a gang of men dressed as Ku Klux Klanmen, who had attempted to lynch him and then had beaten him." The men, it seems, had tried to force him to sign a declaration adverse to the claims of his client. And ten evenings later, just before election day, five hundred members of the Ku Klux Klan marched in costume through the streets of Jacksonville, Florida, following the fiery cross "supposedly," according to the New York Times, "as a warning to Negroes to attempt no lawlessness at the polls on Tuesday." It is of record that few colored people voted in Jacksonville on Tuesday. "White supremacy" was maintained. With the spring of 1921 there came principally in the State of Texas, a remarkable crop of mob cutouts, all perpetrated by masked bands of men and so similar in technique as to suggest, a common origin. Among the persons attacked were both blacks and whites, men and women, and there was such a variety of apparent causes as to defy analysis. Responsibility for two, at least, of the mobings was publicly avowed by the Beaumont, Texas, branch of the Klan and it was widely assumed, in the absence of local disavowal, that such responsibility was general. Southern as well as Northern newspapers became loud in their denunciation of the violence of the Ku Kuxers. The Imperial Wizard apparently became alarmed, and issued statements (inserted in many papers as full-page paid advertisements) delaying that the lawlessness was due to the Klan. He even revoked the charter of the Beaumont branch, which had indiscretely written to the papers, with the Klan's official seat, glorifying in its crimes. He also suspended the charter of the Mobile, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida, chapters, which also were caught in rather too flagrant and public violence. But the cases of threats, tar-and-featherings, and grit rowdiness by mysterious maske and white-capped men themselves K伞means) continued. The Galveston, Texas, Daily News for July 19 lists alone such incidents in Texas alone, beginning on April 1, when a bellboy of a Dallas hotel, carried him into the country near, whipped high, and branded the letters K.K.K. with acid on his forehead. The last was on July 16, at Tenahua, when a young white woman was seized on a hotel porch by masked men wearing white uniforms, taken several miles into the country, undressed, tarred and feathered, and returned to town. "The sacred duty of protecting womanhood," no doubt! Proclamations and warnings signed "Ku Kux Klan" and directed against graffits, idlers, bootleggers, and agitators appeared in a number of places, including the State Capitol. In as far separated places as Houston, Beaumont, Dallas, Waco, Belton, Goose Creek, Port Worth, Glidden, Deweyville and Timpson, men were seized by masked bands and roughly handled. In some cases they were merely beaten. In others they were tarred and feathered in addition. Their abductors on some occasions acted anonymously. On others they acted in the name of the Ku Kux Klan and now and then they pardoned their exploit upon the person of their victim. The victims themselves were sometimes bad characters and sometimes of good repute. One was a former Marine who served at Chateau Thierry. Another, Shegwood Vinson, was the son of a lifelong resident of Lufkin, Texas, who writes to the American Civil Liberty Union thus: "My, 19-year-old boy, Siswooly Vinson, received a letter through our mail ordering him to leave and advise his bootlegger friends to go with him. I took the letter to the grand jury and ask the jury to tell my boy if he was violating the law but they done nothing so far as I could tell. Later they caught the boy on the streets of Lukin with a pistol in the hand of one of them, but into in a car went to the woods carved and finished him, brought him back to the streets of Lukin, set him out on our Sheriff paid no attention, so far as I could tell, to the pistol or crime. They boy says he knows the men, that done the work. I have lived here sixty-four years, not educated, but want right, want the laws executed, and tried to get the grand jury to do so. We can get the hunch if we can get the law handed out honest." Although the State of Texas has been more favored than any other by these manifestations of a desire to "bless mindkind," they have appeared elsewhere throughout the South. At Miami, Florida, on July 17, the British rector of a church in the Negro quarter was tarred and feathered by masked men. The day before, an elderly farmer was similarly seized and whipped at Warrenburg, Missouri. On July 23, a man and a woman at Birmingham, Alabama, received like treatment. And so it has gone. Of course puch is charged to the Klan that cannot be traced directly to Mr. William Joseph Simmons' dues-paying organization. The game was too inviting; naturally it had imitators. Some call themselves Ku Klux Klanesmell without paying dues; others indignantly oppose the Klan but copy its methods. An anti-Ku Klux Klan organization in southern Texas adopted the slogan, "Kill 'em on sight like you would a mad dog." The "Black Band" of Joaquin, Shelley County, Texas, threatened to burn the whole town if Klanesmen committed more violence. In Charlotte, North Carolina, a 19-year-old genius elected himself "Exalted Dragon" of a Junior Ku Klux, and collected twenty-five cents dues each from a large number of his young friends. There is occasional confusion of purpose; in Florida the Klan declares that it is against blue laws, but in Texas it threatens bootleggers. In one Florida town a group of alleged Klanism even threatened a judge guilty of enforcing the speed laws. Of late there have come serious charges of a financial nature against the Klan: Major Craven, the Grand Dragon of the Invisible Empire for the Regina of North Carolina, recently issued an order disbanding the Klan in that State, saying that as conducted in North Carolina "it is an organization engaged exclusively in collecting initiation fees under false pretenses, without any legal standing in the State, and is, in my opinion, a failure and a fraud." He added that "the most notorious criminal in the county got in by paying for it..." and the organizers kept him in because he was bringing in others of the same kind at so much per head" Major Craven's charges are disputed by the King Kleagle of the Realm, Mr. W. V. Guerard, but they should perhaps serve to make other public officials toow the example of the Mayor of Philadelphia who has directed that inquiry be made as to the disposition of the fees for which membership in the Order is bestowed. These fees are large. It costs $10 to be initiated into the Klan, plus $6.50 for a white robe—and it is obvious that these robes can be produced at a cost of about one dollar. These fees appear to go to the Grand Aulie of thearu branches Wizard at Atlanta. Local branches charge further dues, usually $5 or $10 annually. What becomes of all this money is not known. The Imperial Wizard says he pays himself only $10 per week, but an Atlanta paper recently announced the purchase by the Ku Klux Klan of an online block on Peachtree Road which was to be made National Headquarters "at a cost of about one million dollars." "Landscape improvements," including an artificial lake and "about $20,000 worth of marble and plaster statuary," were to be made. "Lanier University," Atlanta (a school) which does not figure in the rather complete list of academic institutions in the World Almanac), has also been taken over by the Klan, and the Imperial Wizard himself, it is announced, will be the new president. It may be said that William Allen White was probably not unjustified in exulting that it was "to the everlasting credit of Emporia that the organizer of this cheap clan found no suckers here with $10 each to squander." It is, of course, unlikely that the remarkable series of nihh outbreaks were foreseen by the Imperial Wizard in 1915. Such a program would have been too hazardous to have been deliberate. But what should have been foreseen was that such a consequence well-eigh invicible. The Klan springs from the memory of posi-civil war lawlessness, when the Negro was disfranchised by terror. It proclaims its purpose to maintain white supremacy and to protect womanhood, the two customary cloaks for lynching. Its leader asserts its purpose to protect the security of the people in the alliance or inadequacy of the forces of law and order. Its membership discloses an unmistakable, and Jewish and anti-Catholic bias. It organizes in the North adult at private meetings that there it is to be mainly an instrument of anti-Semitism. Its prot-stations, of ten per cent Americanism and its warnings to authorities, suggest the familiar to the rest of the conventional opponents of organized labor. Indeed the group of powrish at the described American League man to Mrs. Isaac Cronish Hazlah from a local platform in Mason City, Iowa, last month, and drove out of town, were quoted by the United Press correspondent as saying that they preferred to be known the Ko Klan Klan; and the Klan in that part of the world an anti-Neopolitan League organization. Over the whole has been thrown in an almost hive of marvel jumbo with its Imperial Wizard in King Charles, Great Destroyer, Goblin and Cyclops. It is inevitable that all the people have attested those most likely afflicted to me action and that the range of prejudice to which the Order appeals should have led to repeated outbreaks. The Imperial Wizard (Mr. William Joseph Simmons) should have foreseen all this. He cannot now absolve himself by proclaiming lawful and beneficial purposes for his empire. He had much better "destroy the life of his own handwork," as he turnedaround to do not long ago. It is a child conceived in the tradition of a lawless post and brought forth in the extravagant obscurantism of present-day prejudice. Its life cannot and should not be a happy one. The modern Ku Klan does not deserve to live and it had much better Co. Albert De Silver in "The Nation" N. Y. City, Sept. 14, 21. --- Failed to Confirm Johnson Failed to confirm Johnson.

This bishop deserves conscience. We are informed that white preachers of the ability were also ordained. In some of our distinctive Negro denominations, it is difficult to find on the bench of bishop two college-bred and seminary taught bishops. The majority of men now preaching have no college training and the most of these have never seen the inside of a theological seminary. It would be a great boone to the colored clergy if it could form a clergy association in every state and through this association seek to have all men entering the ministry take a four years' course in an approved college and three years in an approved theological seminary. No interest and uneducated man has a right to preach a gospel that he cannot understand and defend intently. The mistaken idea that the "minister is called" by some hallucination or dream is cursing the ministry and religion. Those who enter the ministry do so from a conviction, intuitively and spiritually arrived at that in the ministry they can best serve their God and fellow men. The minister should have the highest level of training for he to be the teacher all men. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. A Mob's Barbaric Work Chapin, S. C.-Wm. Allen, age 61, was literally shot into pothiness by a mob of white brutes, about two miles from here, Aug. 21, 21. He had an alteration with Noah F. Frijck, a farmer, (white), whom he killed in self defense. The sheriff and a posse captured him and started back toward the city with him. They were met by a mob, and the sheriff allowed his prisoner to be taken without offering any resistance. Allen was tied to a tree, and the mob, numbering over 200, fired bullet after bullet into his body. His head and chest were completely shot away. Finally, the ropes broke and what was left of his body fell to the ground, a shapeless mass, unrecognizable as the body of a human being. No arrests have been made, of course.

Do not fail to give Dr. Wm. A. Byrd's and Mr. Albert De Silver's articles (on page 1 of this paper) a careful reading. Both are illuminating in an exceptional degree. The Washington Post objects to the sales tax because it is politically unpopular. That is a trimmer's argument. If the sales tax is economically sound, as excellent authorities claim it to be, it can not but become popular. And what proof has the Post as to its unpopularity? Is the remark not prompted by fear of innovation? AUSTRIA GOT LEFT Austria has failed to obtain a loan from the U. S. treasury, so is appealing to the allied supreme council for financial aid. That course might well have been followed in the first place. Great Britain has no trouble in adding big vessels to her fleet, making loans to other countries with which she wishes to establish trade relations, and spending money in other ways for her own good. Why not let the prosperous countries of Europe support the down-and-outers for a while? WAR RISK CONTACT. Orders have been issued by Acting Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt that all ships and stations of the navy shall assist in every possible way the navy personnel in obtaining contact with the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and securing whatever may be due a man from that branch of the government. The order is similar to one recently issued by Gen. Pershing to officers and posts of the army. All navy officers will be required to equip themselves with all War Risk forms, and help their men in killing them out and getting them into the hands of the War Risk officials. ANOTHER WARNING! Mr. Louis Kenninger, (white), in the employ of the National Coal Co., 637 Champlain Ave., who resides at 4013 Woburn Ave, told the editor of The Gazette, Wednesday afternoon, that he had heard that day in "Newbury" (the southeast end of the city) that there was to be a mob demonstration, this week Saturday, Sept. 17th. This is the second or third time, this same rumor has reached us in the last three weeks, and again we notified promptly the chief of police's office. Are you ready for such a demonstration? The Gazette has done its best to warn all concerned in time. Some times these rumors of mob uprisings prove true. Do not ever discount them, but be ready! Such demonstrations can take place in Cleveland just as easily as in Washington, Chicago, Urbana and Springfield, Ohio. STRIKING BACK. Virginia Republicans have placed in the field a full state ticket for this fall's gubernatorial election in that state. At its head is our old friend and conferee, Editor John Mitchell of the Richmond Planet. The state convention also issued a call for a national conference at Washington, D.C. (date to be named later) "to consider and formulate and prosecute a national policy for Afro-Americans," presumably of the South where "lily-whiteism" is rampant. Louisville, Ky. Afro-American Republicans have been so enraged by the Republican organization that controls that city's offices that they are placing an Afro-American city ticket in the field against both Democratic and Republican tickets. "Jim-crow" signs have been placed for a second time in the parish by the Louisville Republican city officials with the endorsement of the Republican organization of that city. Editor: Wm. Warley of the Louisville News is leading the fight. He and several other members of the race have resigned from city positions they held. Good! About ten days ago. "Starlight" said The Gazette's "Anti-Fleming" editorial, of a few weeks ago, to which his "attention was called by Ernie Jackson," was not exactly correct, the error being that Drs. E. J. Gregg, O. A. Taylor, Major W. T. Anderson, Dwight R. Williams and Sam Woods, the committee that called on "Boss" Maschke, several months ago, did so in opposition to the candidacy of Atty. Chester K. Gillespie (for the position he now holds) and for Atty. Selino C. Glenn. "Star" also said that "Dwight Williams was laughing" with him that morning "about it." Maybe Mr. Williams did "laugh" with "Star" about the experience of the committee with the "Boss" (political) who told them to "see Star and Tom," but the rest of the committee regarded it in a much different light, according to several members of it who were and are still very indignant over what they term a grievous insult, and righteously so. With them stand the great mass of our people of this community, too, and the "Boss," "Star and Tom" will find this out, to their sorrow, on election day in November, if indeed they do not know it now. Men of the class of the members of that committee, as well as the great mass of our people of Cleveland, will not quietly submit to being treated in any such manner as that and we cannot for the life of us see how "Boss" Maschke had the temerity to do so. It is an exposition of nerve on a par with "Starlight" attempt to secure control of the Tate Baseball Co., something the majority stock-holders very wisely and properly "sat upon" promptly. A representative of the Sheffield, England, steel industry has appeared before the Senate Finance Committee to urge that in the framing of the new tariff bill no increases be made in the duty on high speed steel. He says that 2,000,000 men in England are now out of employment entirely, between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 are working only two days a week and 1,000,000 others are working only one day a week. He declares that if the rates on high speed steels contained in the tariff bill as it passed the House are written into the law, several great Sheffield mills will have to go out of business, and British unemployment will be materially increased. Similar cries come to us from Cuba. Secretary of State Hughes is in receipt of a memorandum from the Cuban minister at Washington to the effect that if the Fordney rates on sugar, pineapples and honey are permitted to remain in the tariff bill there will be much distress in Cuba, commercial relations with the United States will be seriously impaired, and certain American investments in the island will suffer. Wails from Germany, Japan, and all the other countries whose exports to the United States may be curtailed by a Republican protective tariff law, are now in order. It is distressing to know that foreign firms that have been fattening off of the American market under the Underwood Tariff Law will be forced to curtail production, and it is equally heart-rending to learn of the great increase in foreign unemployment that will follow those shutdowns. But the cries for relief from the 5,000,000 unemployed in the United States sound louder in the ears of Congress than the pleas that come from overseas, and American industries that are already experiencing the effects of competition from the products of cheap foreign labor are likely to get a more sympathetic hearing at Washington than the industrial magnates from abroad. If it is to be a choice between American and foreign labor and between American and foreign industry there is no doubt what the answer of the Republican Congress will be. These are the days of America first. Minister Badly Beaten. Savannah, Ga.,—Rev. J. D.'Dudley, pastor of Union Baptist church, was set upon and beaten up by a drunken street car conductor, assisted by a word of white hoodwinkers. So evening Aug. 25. '21 while going home from church. In a statement, he says that he and Mrs. Dudley boarded an E. & W. north-bound car at Huntingdon and Broad Sts., paying their fares and asking for transfers. The conductor, who was under the influence of whiskey, failed to give him transfers, as he did several other passengers. Finally when the minister asked again for his transfers the conductor became abusive and struck at him with a black-jack. When Mr. Dudley attempted to himself, the conductor, followed by himself, who had gathered, knocked him to the ground, beating him with sticks and stones. The case is in the hands of Attorney Aaron Kravich. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPTEMBER 17, 1921 PRIME SPORT NEWS By Allen Harrison Dorsely. Lincoln University, Pa.—Coach John Shelburne the former Dartmouth football star, has been engaged by the local athletic authorized in an effort to retrieve the disastrous record made by the eleven, last year. Shelburne has issued a call for all candidates to report, Sept. 14, when a strenuous season of morning and afternoon practice will start. Many of the 1920 letter men will return and with Capt. Laws and Sam Parr, stars of last year's team, on hand, all are hopeful of better success. marked: "burg Courti B Detroit, celebrated a successful the Cuban game at M 4 to 3.

JOSH DE VOE Advertising Manager of Tate Baseball Co. The white sport writers who are harping under the halucination that a fight between white and colored boxes is bad for the public peace, should have attended the Norfolk-Greb fight at Forbes Field, Monday night. More than 7,000 fans witnessed this contest and not only were they fair and generous in their applause, considering the fact that a local favorite was in action, but the usual line of "stuff" generally hurled at a colored battle was missing, altogether. As one fan re- "The Chickens Came Home to Roost" Berlin, Germany—German agencies of every sort are busy denying the slander cast upon German women and the conduct of French African troops on the Rhine which was published in American newspapers, some weeks ago. Following the hotelkeepers who branded as "false and iniquitous" the supposed effort to ruin German tourist trade, the chief German motion picture censor has denied a permit to the Rhenish Women's League for an exhibition of a 500-meter film entitled "The Black Death" dealt with the question of African troops on the Rhine. The chief censor in denying the permit declared that the film was not only worthless as propaganda, but that it was designed by the enemies of Germany and calculated to injure the prestige of the country in other lands. Tulsa Relief Board Thanks! Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 7, '21. Dear Sir:—Mr. Hooker has just reported how helpful the publications in your paper, The Gazette, have been in giving to the public the names of the persons who are working for our Citizens' Relief Committee of Tulsa. We thank you for the assistance given and ask for your continued cooperation. Very truly yours, EAST END RELIEF BOARD, Mrs. D. L. Bush, Secy. Southern "Social Equality"! Knoxville, Tenn.—Police Officers Kline and Joseph Reynolds arrested Edward Stansbury, (white), in bed with little Rosa Gibson, age 14, at the child's mother's, on Mill St., early Monday morning, Aug. 29, '21. She slept in a room next to her parent's, and told the officers the man had slipped through an open window and gotten in bed with her early in the night, telling her not to make any noise, under a threat. Notwithstanding the statement of the child, the officers ordered the patrol wagon and sent the couple to the city jail. When they appeared before Recorder John Greer, the next afternoon, both were fined fifty dollars each on a charge of lewdness. ON THE JOB, AS USUAL! Department of Public Service. Cleveland, O. Sept. 8, 21 Hoe, Hoe, Hoe Dear Sir:—Replying to your favor of recent date, relative to the impassable condition of the sidewalk in East 25th St., near Cedar Ave., I beg to advise that I have caused the commissioner of streets to remove the stone and debris from the sidewalk and have told him to keep the entire walk cleaned and in passable condition at all times in the future. Thanking you for calling this matter to my attention, I am. Yours very truly, ALEX BERNSTEIN, Director of Public Service. A very pretty souvenir post-card, received the first of the week, from Coleman Lewis who was in Cincinnati attending the races, announced that he was "having a fine time" and about to "leave for White Sulphur Springs," returning to Cleveland "in time for the election." --- "Can Be Done." marked: "It can be done."—Pittsburg Courier. Blunt's Men Cop. Detroit, Mich.—The Detroit Stars celebrated their home-coming after a successful eastern trip by defeating the Cuban Stars in an interesting game at Mack Park, Sunday. Score 4 to 3. Both Force and Boada were in good form, keeping hits well scattered, and when they showed signs of weakness their team-mates pulled out and started play. Force won his own game in the ninth when he tripped and scored on Warfield's fly to center. Saturday, the Cubans trounced the Cowers at Mack park, 11 to 6. The only opportunity, this season, that Cleveland fans will have to see the fast Cuban Stars, will be at Tate Field, this Saturday, when they start a four-day series with the Tate Stars. The locals are out for revenge, since they lost the first series, early in the season, with the Cubans at Cincinnati. Among the visiting players are "Hooks" Jiminez, star second-baseman and a veteran of the team, who coached of class and a hard bitter, Abruen catcher with a great whip; pitchers, Boada, Suarez, spit-ball artist, and LeBlanc, who tamed the barn-storming N. Y. Giants in Havana. This team is the Cincinnati member of our National Baseball league. Tates Play Great Ball. The Massillon Agathons, f a s t semi-pro team, defeated the Tate Stars at Tate Field, Saturday, Score, 3 to 2. It was one of the best games played here this season. The visitors scored twice in the fifth when Leonard allowed Hobb's slashing single to get away for a home run. The winning run was scored in the ninth on a single and double. Harned held the Tates to four hits and fanned six, while the Agathons made nine hits off Johnston. The latter was very effective in pinches and would have held the visitors even but for Leonard's bad break. Monday, the Tates defeated the Agathons, 3 to 2, in an exciting teninning game. It was a red-hot pitching duel between Branham of the Tates and Bert Gallia, visiting spitballer, formerly of Washington Americans. The locals tied it up in the ninth on Leonard's i-field safety, Taylor's sarcifice, an out and Johnson's hot shot to second. In the tenth on Branham's i-field singles, Barnes was forced at third but Branham scored the winning run with the aid of a fielder's choice and a heave over the second baseman's head. Gallia struck out nine and Branham seven, the latter getting all the Agathons on strike-outs in the ninth. A BAPTIST LEADER DIES.

I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education—in all phases of education. I believe, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the Negro, like the rest of mankind, must learn to work out more of his problems along business lines than he has in the past; he must learn as others have learned, that a great deal of the so-called race problems can and must be worked out at six per cent. Dr. R. R. Moton. * THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer.

Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Old Political Friend: I learn that you are available for a councilmanic candidate in the eleventh ward in our city, providing you can have the moral, financial and organized political support of quite a few organizations, viz.: ministers, churches and leagues, etc. Now, since I live in the eleventh ward, I wish to be well represented, as well as have it stand for law and order and be well reputed of. I am ready to stand by you and do my best to elect a man of your mental caliber. I am respectfully, Yours, Your old political friend. (Rev.) H. C. Bailey. councilman and a new mayor. These two things are absolutely necessary if the greatly desired improvement is to be secured, this year. The political boss (and organization) that has and is still supporting "Starlight" and his lieutenant (Fleming), is responsible for the candidacy of Mayor Fitz Gerald and to elect the latter, in November, will mean the continuance of "Star and Tom" political domination and the sad condition of affairs existing in ward 11 (and the city). This all should be made to thoroughly understand by our ministers and other local leaders. The political organization, referred to, is "in the saddle" (holds the city offices) and as a result has organization and money to wage a strong campaign for its candidates. Though the people in ward 11 (and the city) are fairly well aroused and determined to rid that ward (and Cleveland) of its dreadful incubit it cannot be done without organization and to encourage it to conduct on their campaign. This we have repeatedly made plain, always to make clear also that the writer has absolutely no ambition to become a member of the city council, something he refused twenty-five years ago. We have told all organizations and individuals who approached us reluctant to the matter that no relation can be established to yield to the pleadance that we have a candidate unless there was perfect organization of the forces in ward 11 opposed to the Boyd-Fleming combination and the political organization that backs them; sufficient funds raised to properly finance the campaign, and the moral and active support of the churches and other organizations opposed to the Boyd-Fleming combine. This, a central organization of ward 11 bodies opposed to "the Fleming candidacy, are industriously trying to do. If they succeed, and Dr. Bailey and the other ministers and church people in that ward who have had enough of the "Star and Tom" political and other control will have much to do with this, we will lead them to VICTORY in November. However we would be better satisfied to support any candidate they might decide upon. Harry C. Smith.

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 strong. 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 womanly ailments. If you suffer as these women did, take Cardui. It may help you, too. At all druggists. E S5 Patronize Our Advertisers See us First for a JOHN S. Prices Reasonable. S.

Hauser (white) writing a letter on “Womar Suffrage”, for a syndicate of Sunday newspapers of the country, calls at tention to the fact that Ohio womer were battling for equal rights more than forty years before there was any agitation on the subject in Tennessee ‘Phe second woman's rights conven: tion in America was held at Salem, Columbiana county, in 1850, and ot May 28, 1851, the Summit Beacon (Akron)’ noted’ that “the annual con- vention of the women of Ohio, for the consideration of matters pertain. ing to the welfare and advancement of their sex, commences its, sessions today in this place.” ete. ‘The out- standing feature of this Akron meet- ing, was thus referred to in the Bea- con's editorial comment. “An old col: ored lady from Massachusetts, nearly six feet high, once a slave in New York, who boasts the somewhat sing- ular ‘name, ‘Sojourner Eruth,’ wor upon all by her quaint utterance of good, hard sense ‘at intervals during the sittings of the convention.” But the young and gifted president of the meeting. Mrs, ‘Frances Dana Gage “wrote it all down,” and at a safe distance from those ticklish abolition days, it was printed and thus pre- served to us." To. appreciate Mrs Gage's vivid word-picture, it is nec- essary to get the backgrourtd. Into this meeting came “Sojourner Truth” a tall, gaunt, black woman, in 2 gray dress and white turban, sur- mounted by an uncouth sunbonnet. She marehed deliberately into the church, walked with the air of a queen up the aisle and took a seat on the pulpit steps, while a buzz of disap- Probation swept over the house. There were audible whispers of ‘An_aboli- tion affair’ ‘Woman's rights, ‘I told you so,” etc, Mrs. Gage manage: to restore order, and now let her tel the rest of it: “Morning, afternoon and evening exercises came and went, Through all these sessions, old ‘Sojeurner’ quiet and reticent as the ‘Lybian_ statue} sat cronched against the wall on the comer of the pulpit stairs, her sun- bonnet shading her eyes, her elbows on her knees, her chin resting on her broad, hard palms. Again and again timorous ones came to me and saic ‘Don't let her speak, Mrs. Gage, it will ruin us. Every newspaper in the land will ‘have our cause mixed hp with abolition and we shall be utterly denounced.’ My only answer was, ‘We shall see when the time comes.” The second day the work waxed warm Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal, Pres. byterian ‘and Universalist ministers came in to hear and discuss the resolutions presented. One claimed Superior rights and. privileges for man, on the ground of ‘superior in- tellect;” another, because of the man. hood of Christ;’ if God had desired the equality, of woman, He would have ven some. tokert of his will through fhe birth, life and death of the Savior; Another gave us a theological view of the ‘sin of our first mother.’ ‘There were very few women in those days ‘who dared to ‘speak in meetings,’ and the august teachers of the people were seemingly getting the better of us, while the boys in the galleries anc the sneerers among the pews, were hugely enjoying the discomfiture, a: they supposed of the ‘strong-minded: Some of the tender skinned friend: were on the point of losing dignity, and the atmosphere betokened a Storm, when slowly from her seat in the corer tose ‘Sojourner ‘Truth OUR LESSON We must learn to govern our- selves and work together for - our own advancement.

Who, till now, had scarcely lifted her head. ‘The tumult subsided at once, and every eye was fixed on this almost “Amazon form, which stood nearly six feet high, head erect and eyes piere- ing the upper air like one in a dream. “AT her fist word there was a pro: found hush. She spoke in deep tones, which though not loud, reached every ear in the house and away throug! : the throng at the door and windows. “ “Wall, chilern, whar dar is so ‘much racket dar must be somethin’ out o' kilter. I think "twixt de Negroes of de souf and de womin at de norf all talkin’ *bout rights, de white man wil be ina fix pretty soon, But what’ all dis here talkin’ "bout? ‘Dat man ober dar say dat womin needs to be helped into carriages and lifted ober ditehes and to hab. de” best ~ place everywhar. Nobody eber helps me into carriages, or lifts me ober mud pud- dies or gibs me any best place.” And raising herself to her full height and her voice to a pitch like rolling thund- er, she asked, “And ain’t 1 a womin? Look at my arm! Look at my arm!’ (And she lmared her right arm to the shoulder showing her tremendous muscular power.) ‘I have plowed and planted and gathered into barns and no man could head me, And ain’t I a womin? I could work as much and eat as much as a man when I could get it, and bear de lash as well, And ain 1 a womin? I have borne thirteen chil- ern, and seen ’em mos’ all sold off to slavery, aiid when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me, And ain't I a womia? Den dey ‘talle about dis ting in de head, what ‘dis dey call it? (Intellect whispered someone near.) ‘Dat’s it. honey. What's dat got.to do wid’ womin's right or Negroes’ rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and your'n holds a quart, wouldn't vou be mean not to let_me hab my little half measure full?” ‘And she pointed significant finger and sent a keen glance at the minister who had made the argument. The cheering was long aad loud, Den dat little man in back dar, he say womin can't hab as much rights as ‘men, cause Christ wan't a womin, Whar did your Christ come from?” Rolling thunder couldn’t have stilled that crowd as did those deep, wond- erful tones, as she stood there with out-stretched arms and eyes of fire Raising her voice still louder she re- peated. ‘Whar did your Christ come from? From God and a womin! Man had nuthin’ to do wid him.’ Oh, what a rebuke that was for the little man! ‘Turning to another objector she took up the defense of Mother Eve. I can- not follow her through it all. Tt was pointed and witty and solemn, elicit ing at almost every sentence deafen- ing applause; and she ended by as- serting, ‘Ef de fust womin God eber made was strong enough to turn de world upside down all alone dese here womin togedder * * * ought to be able to turn it back again And now dey is askin’ to do it, de nen better let ‘em!’ Amid roars of applause she returned to her cor ner, leaving more than one of us with streaming eyes and hearts beat- ing with gratitude, She had taken us up.in her strong arms and carried us safely over the slough of difficulty, turning the whole tide in our favor.” Do Ohio women owe their votes to Tennessee men? Or do the women of ‘Ohio and of Tennessee and of Amerr ca owe the suffrage vetory to the intrepid souls (like Sojourner Truth) | who blazed the trail through, this western country fifty years ago? ee To submit in silence when we should protest makes co- wards out of men.

NEW YORK.—Is {t “cruel and in- human” treatment of your wife to lose money bucking the curb market? Is it cruel and inhuman treatment to conipel a husband to do much of the housework, including washing dishes, scrubbing the floor and put- ting the children to bed? ‘These questions will confront Jus- tice Scudder when he trics the caso of Clara G. Donaldson agzinct Joseph €. Donaldson. Justice Scudder has ordered Donaldson to pay $200 coun- sel fees and $25 a week alimony pend- ing the outcome of the action. Tn a cross-complaint in which he do- mands a separation, Donaltson says ho had to do housework becauso his ‘wife read novels all day and most of the night, neglecting her home. She also hurled misstles at him and called him bad names, he avers. Once, he says, she drove him out of the house at tho point of a revolver. Mrs. Donaldson now lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George J. ‘Turner, at 113 Fourth street, Long 1s: land City. Donaldson lives at 1 Rem: ington avenue, Jamaica. ‘The couple was married July 17, 1910, and there fs one child, Clara Mae, born in 1911. Donaldson earns $250 a month as a sales engineer, according to his state- ment. ‘Mra, Donaldson alleges her husband ‘abandoned her without cause on July 24 last. Donaldson admits be left home then, but says it was because of his wife's violent temper and neg- lect of the household. She alleges he has become addicted to drink, has lost money on the curb market and has neglected his home. She charges that her husband broke into a cottage they occupied at Park Ridge, N. J. and removed all his belongings. She had to send for her mother to pay her carfare back to New York, Mra, Don- aldson says. ‘Mrs. Donaldson further says she doesn’t read novels, and insists that any household work her husband did was because be wouldn't employ a servant. Both submit a batch of af- fidavits to corroborate their state: ‘ments. FANNY WARD’S ‘NEW FACE.’ Her “Lost Smile” Is a Tragedy, Says French “Le Temps.” PARIS—Under the heading, “The Lost Smile,” the austere and literary French newspaper, “Lo Temps,” has devoted a column to the “new face” ot Fanny Ward, American cinema actress. ‘ “Knowing from experience that wrinkles are glaringly vistble in the films,” says the “Temps,” severely, “this| martyr to the screen has had the flesh of her face drawn together and tightened, thus suppressing the wrinkles. “But in suppressing her wrinkles, the beautiful American actress has also suppressed her smile, “Here is face which can reflect on ts Impid mirror astonishment, pas. sion, anger, horror and desire, but which will never again be capable of expressing even the tiniest smile. “It 1 a story from the pen of Poe in real life, German literatire has already made us familiar with the man who lost his shadow, but how mediocre Pierre Schlemthl appears to us now that we are confronted with the romance of the woman who has lost her smile” Sn, FAKE “BURGLARIES.” See eres Police Attributes em To Insurance Risks.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the cequest of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Har C. Smith's Ohio Givil Rights law which tho 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, eat- ing house, barber-shop, public con- veyance 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 ac- commodations, advantages. facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined nat 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 per- son. aggrieved thereby to be recov- ered in any court of competent jur- isdiction in the county where such of- Seis won committel 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 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 manufac- tured outery for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Ak- ron Beacon Journal published an edi- torial to which the editor of The Ga- zette 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 Righth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, 0., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette Cleveland, 0. ‘My Dear Sir: Observing your let- ter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, 1 venture to send you, under a sep- arate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 8, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, de- cided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon- Journal kad 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 _an¢ juries, in administering it.
