Moton, successor to the late Booker T. Washington as principal of Tuskegee Institute, in an address to our National Business League, of which he is president, urged the race to practice thrift and to invest in sound securities. He spoke of the progress made by Afro-Americans within the last half a century in acquiring homes, business properties, churches, school and office buildings, banks and theatres throughout the country. "There is one other element," said Dr. Moton, "to which I would call your attention, namely, thrift. Save your money and invest it in corporations fostered by sane and trained business men of the race. Buy homes and other property. I do not urge you to save money and invest your money solely for the sake of having money, but rather for what money means in the way of respect, culture, better educational facilities, changed conditions, better and more positions for the youth of the race. Wealth is the power which gains the respect and recognition of all people, white and black. And if we are to take our places among the other and powerful races of the earth we must accumulate wealth, and this, can only be done by saving and investing your money and by supporting business enterprises conducted by members of the race." J. H. Smothers, of Mr. Mt. Meigs, Ala. who indorsed Dr. Moton's advice to practice thrift, told how he had started in life with a capital of fifteen cents and had acquired 180 tires of terile land, modern-farm equipment and a beautiful home. Two years ago, he said, he sold $3,183 worth of peanuts. Mr. Wallace Bolden, E. 28th St. one of the Gazette's oldest subscribers, called his week to renew his subscription for another year.

IS IT OF ANY USE TO CONFEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race responsible member of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even so. This is the title of home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every battle, worthy of the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Head of Klux Women and Imperial Kleagle Clarke Fined in a Resort Case—His $100,000 Mansion a "Gift" K. K. K. in The North. Atlanta, Ga.—Investigation here, Monday, revealed an astonishing situation in high Ku Klux Klan circles. Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, recently appointed by Imperial Wizard Simmons as head of the women's division of the Klan declared to have been convicted and fined as keeper of a disorderly resort, while Edward Young Clarke, Imperial Kleagle of the Ku Klux, was arrested and fined with her in the place at 183 S. Pryor St. less than two years ago. Clarke, a high officer of the Klan, clutch preaches a high order of morality the home along with its attacks on organized labor, citizens of foreign birth, Jews, Roman catholics and Negroes, thus appears as a wife deserter and a fit subject for the activities of masked and gowned knights. Arrest On Records. Police records show that on or about Oct. 2, 1919, Mrs. Tyler and Clarke were arrested in a raid instigated by Mrs. Clarke, who charged that her husband had deserted her and her son, Samuel, for "that woman"—meaning Mrs. Tyler—and had the impalpable Tiger and the Imperial Volege who have been in a room together, in night attire when arrested. They gave fictitious names at the police station. She said she was "Mrs. Carroll." He said he was "Jim Slater." Mrs. Tyler was booked as the keeper of a disorderly resort. Clarke was charged with being an inmate. They were unable to give bonds and were locked in cells for the rest of the day. Francis Clarke, a brother, appeared at the station, bailed both of them out and they disappeared. Real Names Revealed. At their arrangement, Oct. 31, 1919, their real identities became known. By order of "Recorder George E. Johnson" their proper names were substituted on the docket. They paid their fines. Clarke, who now occupied the house, as a Kux donation" sought a conference with his wife's lawyers and agreed to may her $75 a month until his child became of age. The K. K. K. in Cleveland. The Cleveland correspondent of the Resize class), Christian Science Monitor (daily published the following recently, in a column letter in that paper. Speaking of Mayor FitzGerald's belated stand against the organization of a K. K. Klan in Cleveland, he wrote: "This announcement (of the contemplated organization of the K. K. K. in Cleveland) naturally caused an immediate protest from the Negro press of Cleveland. The Cleveland Gazette, an old established weekly new paper, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a former member of the Ohio Representatives and father of the Ohio Law, at once took up the cords on behalf of the 30,000 or more Negro population of Cleveland, declaring that "Mayor FitzGerald knows, as do all others, that the very foundation of the new K. K. K. is the promotion of race and religious inclusions, as was true of the old," called upon the mayor to place a banner on the movement at once. Meanwhile, the paper told its read- Additional Locals Candidate Hasson it addressed a number of our ministers at a meeting in ward 11. Monday afternoon. He and Councilman Hinchiffe, another candidate (Republican) for mayor were the speakers at a meeting of our Woman's Council in Jackson hall E. 38th St. and Woodland Ave. Tuesday evening, which was attended by five and seven hundred persons. "Starlight" was very properly refused permission to speak by the Jadies, when Chester T. Thompson asked it for him, and Sid. Thompson, with effort to heckle Mr. Haserod, while he was speaking, proved an abject failure, it is said, Chester, O, Chester! how could you? Our women as well as the men, in that ward, are certainly "up and doing" in this campaign, already. The meeting, Sunday afternoon, at Triestone Baptist church, under the auspices of the Helping Hand Society of which Mrs. Geo. Randolph is president, attracted a splendid audience, said to number 2,000 persons and was one of the most enthusiastic helpers in this city. Rev C. G. Fischback pastor of Shiloh church, presided and the speakers were Mrs. Geo. Randolph, W. M. Kinney (white), of the On-Door-Relief department; Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette; Rev H. C.

"What we want to know now." Mr. Smith told The. Christian Science Monitor representative since, "is whether the mayor intends to use the forces he has to prevent this outrage upon the intelligence of the people of Cleveland, or simply 'let it go at that.' Behind it all, of course, is the old southern policy of 'Negro suppression. There is also a strong effort on the parade and infiltration, invest in the detected and infiltrated KluK klux rider bands with a new and unwarranted halo of chivalry; to induce the public to regard them as crusaders with white crosses of light and liberty on their hoods and robes, as though they stood for some holy and benign purpose. Somehow they enlisted the moving picture people in the effort and we had such plays as 'The Birth of a Nation,' 'The Nigger,' and 'Under Southern Skies,' extolling these secret klans in their outrages upon men and women, both black and white. They are all un-American and un-Christian; the all tend to the gun between the amphosite (the African and the Afro-American, the Japanese and the American Indian, even. Nowhere must one of those-races be the fulfleded hero; always must he be on the wrong side in the end, if not throughout. I hesitate to go into a moving picture house oft-times for fear of running into this sort of a lie about my people." The K. K. K. in North Done? The K. K. K. in North Done? Syracuse, N. Y.-The Ku Klux Klan of the North, from its seat of empire here, decreed abandonment of its program of extension and paved the way for dissolution, claim- ing the North as the South have surmised its name. Signed with the seal of the Great Wizard of the North, whose identity has not been revealed, notifications went forward to klan members absolving, them from their oath and from allegiance to the invisible empire. Poor Ku-Klux! Poor Ku-Klux Klan! A few months ago life seemed one grand sweet song for the revived organization of reconstruction days. But it became too prominent. Judges, federal and state, began to order inquiries into its workings. Preachers and publicists denounced it. A New York newspaper made a laborious exposure of the Klan; and other papers in other cities tumbled over themselves to get in on the exposing business. All that is lacking is to have the Klan made the villain in a movie thriller, and give its name to a bad man. And give its name to its woes complete. The lesson, obviously, is that society reacts against the organized lynch law and ritualized intolerance which seems to be the chief theory and practice of the Klan. Such things exist by remaining in the background, furtive, slinking, intangible. If society would only take the next logical step, and root out lynching of every description, one of the greatest, and most needed of American reforms would date from the attempted revival of Ku-Kluxism. That would be irony, indeed.—Chicago Journal. church: Wm. Connors, sec. of our Welfare society, and Rev. J. R. Yewell, pastor of the church. About $150 was raised for the society's work and with very little effort. All of the speeches were interesting and to the point, especially those of Mrs. Randolph and Mr. Kinney. Rev Bailey and the editor of The Gazette were exceptionally well received. The meeting was a grand success in every way. An exceptionally enjoyable farewell reception was given by Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Slaughter, of Blaine Avc., last Saturday evening, in honor of their guests, Mrs. Lillie B. Sandera and Mrs. John L. Jones of Louisville. Ky.

SEPTEMBER 24,1921 Imperial Wizard Simmons' Ku Klux Klan seems in a fair way to be "wiped from the face of the earth" by the northern press. The inside workings of the organization have been thoroughly "aired" by the N. Y. and Chicago daily papers and they are bad, very bad, to say the least. The hotel proprietor who sought to set a dinner to President Harding on a solid gold dinner service of 1,000 pieces did not have a proper conception of the change that took place in Washington on March 4th. The trappings of royalty have no appeal for the present occupant of the White House. Our distinguished confrere, Editor John Mitchell of the Richmond (Va.) Planet, and The Gazette agree on "the lynching question" until the matter of a federal anti-lynching bill or "law" is reached. We think it a waste of time, money and effort to be clamoring and contending for such, as is being done these days, in the face of a decision of the U. S. Supreme Court which says that a constitutional federal anti-lynching "law" cannot be enacted by the Congress. --- Our highly esteemed contemporary, the Richmond Planet, has the wrong impression: There is positively no "misunderstanding between" Mr. Charles Cottrell, of Toledo, O., and the editor of The Gazette, as far as we know. What we published, a few weeks ago, relative to his real status with the Harding administration was the TRUTH and not intended to harm him or any one else but simply to "clarify the political atmosphere" particularly in the vicinity of many Afro-American newspaper offices throughout the country. REASON FOR ENTHUSIASM. Great enthusiasm attended the impromptu reception (accorded President Harding at Atlantic City by members of the Fifth Division who were holding a reunion there. It was striking evidence of the appreciation felt by former service men for the efforts of the Administration in their behalf. In spite of the charges by certain partisan Democrats that the Republicans have not done their duty to the veterans, those men know that every form of relief for them has been provided that is within the proper sphere of Federal aid. Hospitals, re-education, and insurance have all been granted without stint, and legislation has been enacted greatly simplifying the process by which the soldier is put in touch with the relief agencies. It is true that many of the miserable relief makeshifts set up by the Democratic administration still survive, but they are being done away with as rapidly as new and better facilities become available. Those facts are known by every man who has taken the trouble to ascertain them. PEOPLE HAVE GOOD MEMORIES Apparently assuming that the American people have short memories, the New York World, the leader of the Democratic press, says editorial: "The Sixty-sixth Congress persisted in blocking peace and reconstruction in order to discredit President Wilson." But the people are not of short memory. Even if they were they could turn to the Congressional Record and see there recorded the introduction of a resolution fathered by John W. Weeks, then a Senator from Massachusetts, now Secretary of War, and by Congressman Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, proposing the appointment of a Joint Congressional Committee on Reconstruction. This resolution was introduced several months before the armistice was signed and before there was any definite reason to believe that the end of the war was at hand. This resolution provided for the creation of a commission composed of members of both Houses of Congress and having on its membership an equal number of Republicans and Democrats chosen because of their high standing in the councils of the nation and the confidence of their fellow legislators. The Weeks-Madden resolution provided for a comprehensive and exhaustive study of every problem that would necessarily be faced on the termination of the conflict and the resumption of peace time industry. It provided specifically for plans for handling the national debt, provision to guard against unemployment, disposal of property acquired by the government for war purposes, reorganization of the Federal departments with a view to returning to economy, disbanding of the armies and various other problems which any wise statesman must have known the nation must meet. That resolution was killed at the instance of the Wilson administration. Neither will the memories of the people of this country be so short as to permit of their being deluded by the assertion that the Republics blocked peace. The Republicans in the Senate who would be called upon to vote upon a treaty of peace served formal notice upon President Wilson that they were anxious that a treaty of peace be "immediately negotiated" and that they were ready to take action upon it. But they insisted that no extraneous matter such as a league of nations scheme should be incorporated in the peace treaty. With full knowledge of that readiness of the Senate to act upon the peace treaty President Wilson insisted on forcing into the treaty the league of nations covenant which would have surrendered American independence to a super-state. Every day's delay in arriving at peace was due solely to that stubborn attitude on the part of Mr. Wilson who was not willing that the terms of peace be considered solely on their own merits but was determined that there should be interwoven therewith an entirely foreign subject which, according to his own boast, he interwove in such a way that the league of nations covenant must be accepted or the whole treaty defeated. The responsibility rests solely upon President Wilson. That this is the conviction of the vast majority of the American people was demonstrated at the polls in 1920 when they defeated James M. Cox who stood for Wilson's policies and elected Warren G. Harding who stood squarely upon the record made by Congress. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money.

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 richea a child should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

SOUTH AMERICA LEADER Mexico, Central America, South America From Panama to Straight Of Magellan Await Pan-American Glory That Is in Store. What used to be called "The West" has changed its horizon and now lies between us and the antarctic, according to the writer of a leading editorial In The Engineering and Mining Journal (New York). In other words, South America is now the land of opportunity, as the Great West was for the last generation—a "rich and hospitably empty land, with treasures of mineral wealth, forest, and agricultural land untouched, waiting the hardy pioneer who would set up his tent or his cabin and work, build, and wait, till the following population made him wealthy. The writer goes on: The advice of Horace Greeley and others—"Go West, young man"—can not be accepted at its face value these days. The West is still a wholesome place, but there are few unclaimed treasures, and competition is as active in the East. Farming land in the West is as high in price as in the East, or more so. Doubtless, the irrigated valley lands of the West are more productive, and so more valuable; but if one wants cheap agricultural acreage he can get it within a few hundred miles of New York, and Boston, and Washington, much easier than he can in Arizona or California. The gold rush to California in '49 was followed by many discoveries and rushes—the Comstock, the Leadville, the Black Hills, and others; most recently, Cripple Creek, Alaska, and the new Nevada camps. Already the cream has been skimmed off these fields, and in some cases the milk has been drunk. The prospector, discouraged, is passing into the vision of the past with the other symbolic figures of the Old West. Intensive development and exploration of mineral resources, the like of which no country and no age have ever seen, have swifty wug out our buried wealth and distributed it to the world at the best price obtainable. Finally, have come the machines and the processes to utilize the low-grade ores, bitherto scorned—the $1\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. copper ore, the gold-bearing gravels with ten to twenty cents a cubic yard, and even—in vain the gold-rock ores—carrying a dollar a ton. This era also has swung into full maturity for the West. Mining companies must henceforth look forward to liquidation, to going into oil, or to expanding beyond the United States. Many great companies are already in those which with prophetic and safe vision are adventuring abroad are engaging in operations in Asia, Africa, South America—even in Europe. Of all these, South America is the most obvious. It is indeed, the New West, for Americans. Go South, young man; and pray for a wise Government in Washington which will look kindly upon the country's adventurers in foreign though friendly lands—but go. The future of South America is bound up with that of North America. As the mineral production of the North declines, that of the South will be in the ascendant. Mexico, Central America, and South America from Panama to the Strait of Magellan await the Pan-American glory which is in store. Difference in race or speech can not prevail against the common ties of interest, of govern mental form, and of democratic manners and ideals. THE MINOR PLANETS. There Are Nearly a Thousand of Them Between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids, also called planetoids, or minor planets, are small planets invisible to the naked eye situated in the solar system between Mars and Jupiter. Nearly a thousand of them are known and none are believed to exceed 100 miles in diameter. Their orbits are of greater eccentricity than those of other planets, and they are inclined to the ecliptic at a greater angle. They are interlaced in a most intricate manner, crossing one another so frequently as to form when viewed perpendicularly a kind of network. Their existence was suspected before any were discovered, owing to the hitatus in the series of the planetary distances. The first one was discovered in 1801, and many have been added to the known number every year since. It is believed by some authorities that these little planets at one time formed a single planet, which exploded or flew into fragments. Tomato Once "Poisonous". Tomato is of tropical origin, being a native of South America, whence it was introduced into continental Europe. There for many years it was grown as an ornamental plant under the name of "love apple", and was considered poisonous. It did not come into general use as a food until about 1870. Butterfly on Cemetery Gate. In mythology the butterfly was used as a symbol of immortality, and this idea is responsible for its display at cemeteries. Wind 186 Miles An Hour In a pilot-balloon four and a half miles above Lansing, Mich., a wind blowing 138 miles an hour was observed last winter. This is believed to be the highest wind speed ever recorded at such an altitude. Wind velocities are known to be much greater at higher altitudes. Cirrus clouds far above the earth have been noted moving at about 200 miles per hour. PRIME SPORT NEWS By Allen Harrison Dorsey. Bucks Break Even. Indianapolis, Ind.—The Columbus Buckeyes broke even with the A. B. C's here, Sunday, the visitors taking the first game, 1 to 0, and losing the second, 6 to 3. Rile pitched sterling ball for the Bucks in the first tilt while Roberts was hit hard in the second. Briscoes Down Stars. Detroit, Mich.—The Briscoe Motors of Jackson stopped the Detroit Stars, twice at Mack park, Sunday, giving the up-staters undisputed title to the state semi-pro championship. Scores, 5 to 1 and 6 to 0. “Rip” Hagerman and Earl Collamore, visiting hurriers, pitched gilt-edge ball. The local pitchers were given poor support, Holland pitching a good game in the first. Vic Saier got a home run in the first. Foster-men Take Two. Chicago, Ill. — The American Giants won both ends of a double-header with the St. Louis Giants, Sunday, at Schorling park. Scores, 2 to 1 and 6 to 2. Dave Brown had the best of a pitching duel with Finner in the first, both twirlers fanning eight men. Brown's double paved the way for the decisive run. Torrienti and Drake hurled the last game and the latter pitched a fine game except in the third frame, when the Foster-men scored six runs on three hits and two walks. A. B. C.'s Here Next Week The well-known baseball Tailors, C. I. and Ben, will lead their Indianapolis A. B. C.'s into Cleveland, next Monday, for a three day series with the Tates. The Hoosiers took three straight from the locals several months ago, but "Brooke Jim" says he is a different story this time. The visitors have a strong pitching staff in Jeffries; Mahoney and "Dicts" Johnson, while Mackey is considered the best all-round player in the league. As the 1921 baseball season in Cleveland rapidly approaches its end a word in regard to our support of the Tate Stars may not be amiss. Baseball has climbed to its present great popularity as the pre-eminent sport of America because of the personal interest of the masses, the "man in the street." It affords him an opportunity to get out in the open and enjoy a game of skill that he loves, where all feel the best team should win. While the pool table had a good share of patronage, considering the financial depression, oftimes we have felt it should be larger, the interest greater, Messrs. Tate and associates, being new in the big league game, have made mistakes but not intentional ones. They should start early in the spring to secure the universal support of the masses and make special efforts to hold it. Firmness must be shown with rowdies who, at times, have made themselves very obnoxious to the great fan-flock on campus. With the support of the Fifth City will come forward in overwhelming numbers and make the 1922 season a wonderful financial success. Tates Trim Cubans. The Cuban Stars won from the Tate Stars at Tate Field, Saturday, 12 to 2. The visitors hit two local pitchers hard, driving Hamilton from the mound in the second, making 17 safe blows. The home batters made only nine hits off the curves of Le Blanc and scored all their runs in the fifth inning. Sunday, the Tates turned the tables on the Cubans, whipping them in a fine game, 4 to 1. Branham, pitching ace of the Tates had the visitors eating out of his hand held them to six hits. A wild pitch allowed the large run scored by the Cubans. The locals put the game on ice in the eighth on two singles, Tework's perfect sacrifice and Johnston's hard blow to the right field wall, scoring two runs. Perry's hit. Mrs. Mae Basey was hostess to the Present Day club, Tuesday afternoon, at Mr. and Mrs. Phil. S. Dennie's, E. 89th St. The work, "Hints on Household Duties," was discussed. BASE A. B. C.'s vs. (The A.

A Crowd of 2000 Monday, the Tates defeated the islanders in an exciting game, 5 to 4. "Sam" Cannady pitched good ball for the locals holding the Cubans to seven hits and fanning six batters and would have won 5 to 1 but for bad luck in the fifth, that let in three Cuban runs. Manella gave way to LeBlance in the eighth, two singles and two walks scoring the winning run for the Tates. Brown led the hitting of the locals. Last winter, when the local management announced that they had signed Jim Taylor to take charge of the Cleveland entry in our "big time" baseball league, we predicted great success for the club. Those of us who saw the practice games, this spring, in the 40th St. gully and then beheld the finished machine, a few weeks ago, that battled the Aga- LEVELA thons, recognized semi-pro champions, to a stand-still can realize the wonderful results accomplished. "Candy Jim" has been a brainy leader, holding down the "hot corner" in a satisfactory manner. In 50 home games he has had 63 putouts, 125 assists, 16 errors, for a fielding average of .922. He has been at bat 185 times, scored 38 runs, made 66 hits for a grand batting average of .357. Hildale defeated the Baltimore Black Sox at Wilmington, Del., last Saturday, 5 to 3, before a crowd of four thousand fans. Harry Wills, heavyweight boxer, has been signed for three fights in Havana, Cuba. Fred Fulton and Jack Johnson are probable opponents. Jack Thompson's heavyweight football team, Tate Stars, defeated the McCrackey Drugs, Sunday, 13 to 0. The Thompson back-field showed up fine and Hudson's passing was note-worthy. Foster's Aner. Giants have inched on baseball league championship for 1921, winning 46 games and losing 20. The Tates will be in Zanesville, this Friday, for three games, returning home, Monday morning.

About ten days ago, "Starlight" said The Gazette's "Fli-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 years ago, to the candidacy to the candidacy of Atty, Dresden Gillespie (for the position he now holds) and for Atty, Selmo 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 over what they very indignant sult, 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 be treated any such manner as that we would see of us use how "Boss" Maschke had the temerity to do so. It is an exposition of nerve on a par with "Star's" attempt to secure control of the Tate Baseball Co., something the majority stock-holders very wisely and properly "sat upon" promptly. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPTEMBER 24, 1921 A NEW ALCOHOL TEST. The "Ebullioscope" Quickly Determines Percentage in Near-Beer. Prohibition is responsible for an improved apparatus for determining the amount of alcohol in cereal beverages, we are told in a press bulletin issued by the American Chemical Society, New York. The device was shown before the New York section of the society. The method depends upon an accurate determination of the boiling-point of liquids, and the appliance is known as an "ebullioscope." Complicated forms have been used for years, and the improved type has been developed largely for the use of brewers who must now produce malt drinks containing less than one-half per cent of alcohol. The makers of temperance drinks will also find it a safeguard in detecting fermentation. We read: "Although it is possible to prepare drinks made from grain with less than the statutory half per cent, the practise generally followed is to produce a beer containing from two to three per cent. of alcohol and then to remove the spirits by special processes. By this simple method, such beverages have been prepared containing only a trace of alcohol. There are certain malt tonics on the market which are labeled as having one-tenth of the shade of Gambrinus. "The excess of alcohol is usually driven off by running the beverage over a hot surface in a thin stream or sheet. The same result may be obtained by heating the liquid, usually in a vacuum. The excess alcohol may be saved through a process of distillation, although most brewers waste it, for recovery is rather expensive. "As the margin necessary to keep within the law is a close one, the brewers have found the improved enbilloscope useful for off-hand determination of the alcoholic strength while their product is still in the plant. The device is also used by inspectors of the Revenue Bureau in their field work, as it is light and portable and the tests may be made in fifteen minutes. There are more elaborate methods of determining the alcoholic strength of beverages which are employed if disputes arise. Taken all in all, the appliance is regarded as a boon to every near-beer brewery and soft-drink bottling establishment." TUMBLER THROUGH TABLE. A Little Practice WILL Enable You to Perform This Trick. Sit down at a table facing your spectators. Turn a heavy glass tumbler upside down on the table and place over it a newspaper. Press the paper closely against the tumbler until you have moulded it roughly to the shape of the glass. Move the tumbler with the paper over it about over the table, pretending that you are trying to push it through. As if by accident draw it quickly toward you past the edge of the table and deftly allow the glass to slip out of the paper into your lap. Then quickly return the paper to the center of the table taking care not to let it crumple and so disclose the fact that the tumbler is no longer inside it. While pretending to be pushing downward with considerable force against the paper form strike a smart blow with the other hand against the hand holding the form. At the same instant move your legs so that the tumbler will fall from your lap to the floor. Make sure that when you strike your hand on the empty form the latter will be crushed down against the table so that no-one will suspect that you have been simply maneuvering with the empty paper. If you want to avoid having the secret of this trick discovered never perform it more than once before any particular crowd because someone will be certain then to catch you in the act of slipping the tumbler into your lap. BANK CURRENCY. Explanation of Why Banks Are Permitted to Issue Currency. The plan of national banks issuing currency is said to have been originated by Salmon P. Chase. The system was organized in 1863. National banks cannot be organized in towns having less than 3,000 population, nor with a capital of less than $25,000. One-third of the capital must be invested in United States bonds, which are deposited in the Treasury for security, and on which notes may be issued up to the par value of the bonds. The system was advocated on the ground that it would greatly facilitate the negotiations of the United States bonds, and that it would secure for the people in all parts of the country a currency of uniform security and value. Number of Trade Marks. The Patent Office says that approximately 125,000 trade marks have been registered in the United States. A trade mark is simply a name, symbol or the like which is used in connection with an article of commerce. The common laws protects the original users of trade marks; it is not essential to have them registered by patent office, though this helps to establish right to the trade mark.

"I honor the man who in the conscious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, in tolerant judgment, may conceive that relatives may be avowed, 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 of friends."—Charles Summer. CHARACTER. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For thirty-eight years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. 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. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.-George W. Blount. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and governments must dispute. The few who dance must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Our advertisers want your trade.

"I was weak and run-down," relates Mrs. Eula Burnett, of Dalton, Ga. "I was thin and just felt tired, all the time. I didn't rest well. I wasn't ever hungry. I knew, by this, I needed a tonic, and as there is none better than— CARDUI The Woman's Tonic . . . I began using Cardul." continues Mrs. Burnett. "After my first bottle, I slept better and ate better. I took four bottles. Now I'm well, feel just fine, eat and sleep, my skin is clear and I have gained and sure feel that Cardul is the best tonic ever made."

Drawn for this paper By Fisher VES DEAR ONE THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE IT NARROWER. I THINK THIS LOUNGE IS TOO WIDE, BRIGHT EYES. HUM HOME SWEET HOME HUM DURING THE HONEYMOON A FEW MONTHS LATER INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CO., N.Y. The modern Ku Klux Klan, according to its descriptive folder entitled "The Ku Klux Klan—Why—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 himself to the launch, "he 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 to 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 the freezing temperatures of the fiery cross, the Invisible Empire was called from its slumber of half a century." 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 4 next, there did appear from the Auc of Christ the Majesty, the Imperial (Mr. William Joseph Simmons) an "Imperial Proclamation" directed "to the whole world," in which the aims of the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Inc., were set forth. This impressive document, done in a literary style which should perhaps be described as neo-African, stated simply that the Order, inter alla, was "dedicated to the sublime and pleasant duty of protection, the pathy 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 manhood to maintain forever white supremacy in all things to bless mankind, and to keep eternally ablaze the sacred fire of a former devotion to Americanism." 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, Mr. Cox, described him, "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 distranchissement of the black race. It was God's call 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 not 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." 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 disquiting manner. On October 2, the New York Times reports that a man called Peter McMullen Yonkers, 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 Kiux 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, the police 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 Jackson- ville on Tuesday. "White supremacy" was maintained. "My 19-year-old boy, Sherwood 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 as the jury to tell my boy if he was bootlegger. I was done nothing so far as I could tell. Later they caught the boy on the streets of Lufkin with a pistol in the hand of one of them, put him in a car, went to the woods, farred and feathered him, brought him back to the streets of Lufkin, set him out, and 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 doe. We can hand the bunch 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 mankind," 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 Warrensburg, Missouri. On July 23, a man and a woman at Birmingham, Alabama, received like treatment. And so it has gone. Of course much is charged to the Klan on the grounds that the William Joseph Simmons" dues-paying organization. The game was too inviting; naturally it had imitators. Some call themselves Klu Klux Klanmen without paying dues; others indignantly oppose the Klan but copy its methods. An anti-Klu Klux Klan organization in southern Texas adopted the slogan, "Kill 'em on sight like you would a mad dog." The "Black Band" of Joaquin, Shelby County, Texas, threatened to burn the whole town if Klansmen committed more violence. And in Charlotte, North Carolina, a 19-year-old genus 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 Klansmen even threatened a judge guilty of enforcing the speed laws. Ohio's Anti-Lynch Leads the Country Against The Mob and Lice Work of a Member —Also Ohio's Civil 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 Realm 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 in the country is the organizer 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 follow the example of the Mayor of Philadelphia who has directed that inquiry be made at 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 $100 per person. To the Grand Auction of the Imperial Wizard at Atlanta, local branches charge further duties, usually $5 or $10 annually. What becomes of the Imperial Wizard says he pays himself only $100 per week, but an Atlanta paper recently announced the purchase by the Kluxt Klan of an entire block on Peachtreet Road which was at a cost of about one million dollars," "Landscape improvements," including an artificial lake and "about $30,000 worth of marble and plaster statuary," were to be made. "Lanier University, Atlanta (a school which does not guarantee in the rubber 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 mob 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-nigh inevitable. The Klan springs from the memory of post-civil war lawlessness, when the Negro was distranchised by terror. It proclaims its purpose to maintain the institution and to protect womanhood, the two customary cloaks for lynching. Its leader asserts its purpose to protect the security of the people "in the absence or inadequacy of the forces of law and order." Its membership form discloses an unmistakable anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic blas. Its organizers in the North admit at private meetings that there it is to be mainly an instrument of the Nazi conspiracy of 100 per cent Americanism and its warnings to agitators suggest the familiar tactics of the conventional opponents of organized labor. Indeed the group of rowdies at first described as American Legion men who tore Mrs. Ida Crouch Hazlett from a Socialist platform in Mason City, Iowa, last month, and drove her out of town, were quoted by the United Press correspondent as saying that they "ku Klux Klan"; and the Kansas City Post frankly describes the Klan in that part of the world as an anti-Nonpartisan League organ that has been a major haze of mumbo jumbo with its Imperial Wizards, its King Kleagles, its Grand Dragons, Ghoulls, Goblins and Cyclops, its fiery crosses and the rest. It was inevitable that all should have attracted those most easily stirred to mob 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 child of his own hand. He had much longer ago. It is a child conceived in the tradition of a lawless past and brought forth in the extravagant obscurantism of present-day prejudice. Its life cannot and should not be a happy one. The modern Ku Klux Klan does not deserve to live and it had much better die. Albert De Silver in "The Nation," N. Y. City, Sept. 14, '21. Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279.

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 Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob on the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279.

(93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county iri which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any, until such injury unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of are of legal age, and be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the county iri where the intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (nv 83 i 62. 6) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, by the commissioner of the original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioner of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs associated with the legal action representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading ed. representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. est member of mob. est another county. Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county where the lynching took place there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (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 to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars, or more than hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is very personal. If the judge should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcyr for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) hundred dollars was sustained. If the Court had known that 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. Very truly yours, C. R. Grant.
