A delegation of thirty of our leading men and women headed by Hon. James Weldon Johnson of New York, secretary of the N. A. A. C. F. was in Washington this week, bearing a message of 50,000 names) to president Harding, asking him to pardon 61 members of the 22th U. S. Infantry, now serving longtime sentences in Leavenworth prison, convicted of rioting at Houston, Texas in August, 1917. President Harding granted the delegation air audience, Wednesday morning. President Warren G. Harding Although nineteen of our soldiers were hanged and 61 sentenced to life and long term imprisonment after the riot caused by southern "crackers," our people felt little disposed to appeal to President Wilson, a southern Democrat, for pardon and elementary for they realized such an effort would be fruitless. Now however, under an administration, now we did so much to install we are looking to avoid Healing to address that we feel and have all along to be under severity exercise against a U.S. A. regiment with such a pleasurable record of society learning, courage and devotion to the 21st U.S. Infinity. Pardon for those outraged six Elkhorn. All victims should have been asked. Wednesday day. UNDER TIRE. The Ku Kai Kim is the best advertiser of new secret orders of America has ever seen. If more publicity is leaving out of account its nature whether favorable or unfavorable is what its organizers want, their wishes are filled to overflowing. No one need be in ignorance of the organization or fail to grasp its significance. Under direction of Attorney General Daugherty, agents of the department of justice are delving into the activities and dangerous possibilities of the klan, state and local officials are no less interested, and steps are under way to bring decisive action if these investigations shall disclose acts in violation of federal state or local law. The "criminal wizard", high moral and directing genius of the klan's organization, may be summoned by Washington for apprehension before the department. The chief of the secret service is told by Daugherty to keep on the trail. The klan is on the defensive. The storm of hostility aroused in recent weeks is raised by the organization's own methods. It cannot claim persecution. There is a natural popular antipathy to secrecy in such matters, a natural suspicion that if the klan were as insincere in purpose and as pure in motive as its members claim it would not choose to nose in full slip costume or the body of a mysteriously or the head of a night. It would not choose a name still, it would not outlawed by public indignation as that of the Ku Klux Klan. There is ample room for organizations devoted to 100 per cent. Americanism; we cannot have too many of them. But a 100 per cent. American needs no ghoulish uniform, no horrific gaths, no appeals to religious or racial prejudice to keep his patriotism militant. If the klan is all its leaders claim for it, they should welcome the spotlight now turned on it by government officials. They should co-operate in every possible way to have the purposes of the organization made public. In this direction lies vindication. And vindication the Ku Klux Klan seems just now to need above everything else—Cleveland Plain Dealer (editorial). The Anchor Life and Accident Insurance Co., a race enterprise, was organized at the company's temporary office, $311 Scoville Ave., last Friday evening, with G. L. Cheatham as president and Rev. J. Price as general manager. Mr. Cheatham comes to Cleveland from Louisville, Ky., highly recommended by the insurance and other prominent people of that city where he successfully launched the Mammoth Life and the Domestic Life Insurance Companies. Stock is being sold only to members of the race. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS The Real Issue in the Ward 11 Contest—The FitzGerald-Maschke Machine or Organization Must Be Beaten—The Peoples' Candidate. The Central Body, composed of representatives from 14 churches and other organizations in Ward 11, opposed to the Fleming candidacy for re-election to the city council, met last week Thursday evening, as usual, at the X. M. C. U. Bldg., in E 53th St. After regular business, in E. R. Brown introduced the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, whom the Central Body had for several weeks urged to stand as candidate for the council in ward 11. In introducing him, Pres. Brown impressed upon Mr. Smith the fact that the people of the ward demanded that he stand as their candidate and were "drafting" them they realized that man of his record for honor questioned integrity, aggressiveness and knowledge gained organization work would surely lead them to an overwhelming victory in November next. Mr. Smith was greeted with great and prolonged applause. "He thanked the organization for the honor" it had conferred upon him and said that he had no personal desire to be counselman and that he would prefer to help any other candidate that the organization would endorse. The form of "no's," greeted his statement. Thereupon Mr. Smith he would not ignore the call and will of the people and announced that he would be a candidate as requested and help in the movement to emancipate the ward from the political domination and control of "Starlight" and his lieutenant, "Tom" (Councilman Fleming). Mr. Smith briefly outlined what the people in the ward demanded and what he stood for, and called attention to the fact that all elements in the ward, were deemed to be emancipated and the political rule of "Tom" and "Tom" constituted the necessary "physical" and moral, in the heart. This he felt all residents of ward 11 correctly desired and the desire could not be satisfied by securing jobs for the few or the many. Detroit Fisher one of the meeting in Stilbish Baptist church, Sunday afternoon and the Hon. Harry C. Smith was the principal speaker. Mr. Smith spoke for one hour to an audience which filled the church and was most enthusiastically received, as usual. Other candidates had been invited to speak without his knowledge or those in immediate charge of the meeting, it seems. They were Candidates Highchief and Haserodt, Messrs. J. L. Jones and E. R. Brown also make briefly. A regular meeting of the Woman's Council, which has endorsed the Hon. Harry C. Smith's candidacy for the council in ward 11, was held, Tuesday evening, Mr. Gary, a former candidate for councilman of ward 11, an aunted that he had withdrawn from the race, in favor of Mr. Smith's candidacy and how was she supported by several women in the announcement and Mrs. Harris in a few well chosen words told the women that this conduct would not be tolerated in any of the meetings of the Women's Council. Later three ladies who sat in the vicinity of the bissies were followed out of the hall by "Starlight" Boyd, Hatton, Hatton, the parent of the proposed city manager plan, was the principal speaker. He dwelt particularly on the points of special interest to our group that the council called into conference as to the tools of our people in forming the plan. He deplored the fact that we as a race had not been represented in city council by our highest type of prosperity, and felt that a plan which did away with the Maschke-Fitzgerald machine, would materially aid the community in electing men who would properly represent us and that we could be proud of. A friend of Prof. Hatton and claimed that he believed we could clean out the city under the present plan if we defeated the Maschke-Fitzgerald machine and its supporters like Councilman Flening. Considerers Writ to Stop Execution. LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-The petition of attorneys for the six Elaine Afro-American victims asking a writ of habeas corpus to prevent state authorities from executing the latter, pending action by the U. S. supreme court on a writ of certiorari, was taken under advisement Monday by Federal Judge J. H. Cotteral who announced that he would give his decision at 10 a. m., Tuesday. Our First Aviatrix Our YORK CITY.—Ten months ago Miss Bessie Coleman, age 24, left Chicago, where she had been employed as a manicurist, for Europe. Sunday she returned to this country on the steamship Manchuria as a full-fledged aviatrix, said to be IN UNION IN STATE COPY FIVE CENTS GO! PATION! Domination of "Star om" 11 Contest—The FitzGer- Organization Must Be ples' Candidate. Tom's "Toonerville Trolley." In spite of the mayor's "high-sounding" talk against the Ku Klux Klan's organizing a klan here, the city council, especially Councilmen Damm, Staceel and Finkle, had to force the fight against the infamous organization. Mayor FitzGerald had done nothing in the past two or three weeks, but ALK was had to do all of the doing before. But council "forced his hand." Monday evening, with the result that, the people of Cleveland are at last getting a little action, but not from the mayor. The three councilmen named introduced two resolutions and one ordinance, Monday evening, calling for ACTION. What did Councilman Tom Fleming DO? Nothing! as usual, only "made a few remarks," said the daily papers. Like Mayor FitzGerald he apparently does not believe in ACTION. And yet he should be foremost in the effort to get action. Why was it, he has said? With Tom ever since he has been a member of the council? Yet he will come before our people of ward 11 every two years, asking for votes given jobs by the "machine" or organization, and claiming credit for the appointments; and referring to some ordinance or ordinations that would have been enacted by the council at the request of the "machine" whether he was present in that body or not. Have you ever heard of his making a decision on the organization, or in the council or any where else for anything or anybody, especially for one of our race? For two or three weeks, six councilmen from the west side of the city have been busy making the fight of their lives against the nuisance, the one-man street car like that being operated thus E. 30th St., almost in the center of ward 11. They call it the "Toonerville Trolley," and it sure is one if ever there was one anywhere. Has anyone ever heard a word of protest from Tom, Councilmen being; has he joined with them the west side who are fighting for doing street car service for their constituents; does he show any more interest in that matter than he did in the cases of a number of our men who have been "heated up," in ward 11 and who appealed to him for assistance in an effort to secure redress only to be refused? NO! The K. K. K. in Cleveland. The K. K. K in Cleveland. Organized labor and ex-service men in Cleveland joined Thursday in a united campaign against the Ku Klux Klan. Organizers for the Klan here, which has headquarters on the campus, Building, say that over 4,000 Clevelanders are members of the local branch. C. Totten, an organizer, says that the Klan is growing rapidly and that its activities are state-wide. He is added to say how many are being added to the membership. Totten said 500 Clevelanders were initiated into the Klan at a midnight ceremony about two and a half months ago, at a farmland spot near Cleveland, when the mystic rites were presided over in the mask and robe by an imperial wizard" brought here from the south. Another initiation is planned for the middle of the winter. Totten said. Included among the first batch of Clevelanders, who, Totten says, were initiated, were a number of prominent business men, lawyers, doctors and pastors. An "imperial wizard" from Atlanta, Ga., the main "domain" of the "Invisible Empire" of the Ku Klux Klan, is scheduled to be in Cleveland some time next week, according to advice received here. One hundred new members were added to the Walnut Hills (Cincinnati) branch of the Tuesday night initiative, initiated at midnight ceremony outside the city. All passing autocrats were chased away. Lima and Columbus branches are being organized. A branch with 300 members is being organized at Toledo. None is being organized yet in Akron, according to reports. the first of the race. She attended an aviation school in France and plans to engage in exhibition flying in this country. In a letter to The Gazette, this week, Chester K. Gillespie, Esq., writes that he did not ask permission for "Starlight" to speak at the meeting of our Woman's Council held in Jackson's hall, E. 39th St. and Woodland Ave., last week Tuesday evening. For reasons obious, we are glad to know it. Chester. Cleveland's Home for our Aged People, has been celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary, last and this week.

October 1, 1921 The strike vote of the railroad shopmen will cause a lot of people to wish the Poindexter anti-strike bill had been placed upon the statute books are this. The infamous photophy, "The Birth of a Nation," is polluting the atmosphere of St. Louis, Mo., and our people there seem to be helpless in the matter. The Public Ledger is a sort of doubting Thomas. In a recent issue it speaks of the reductions in public expenditures "if they shall come to pass." Of course they will come to pass, and have already begun. The treasury department of expenditures will show the reductions at the end of the year. The final contract has been let to restore the Frederick Douglass home at Anacostia, D. C., to its pristine glory, says Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, honorary president of our National Federation of Women's Clubs. She did a wonderful work in saving the home and is continuing it. Good! According to dispatches from New York, work at the steamship piers shows a growth in the quantity of ocean shipments, the increase in imports being given as 15 per cent and the exports "slight." That means that we are buying much more abroad and selling a little more. And in most instances the increased imports are still paying the Wilson-Underwood tax at the custom house. The Ku Klux Klan is putting up a fight to continue organizing in the North. By the same token the opposition to the infamous organization is rapidly getting together in a way that will mean the ultimate extinction of the order. It cannot be put out of business too soon and we are waiting patiently to see what action our government is going to take in the matter. It, too, is investigating the K. K. K. NO DEFICITS It is a fixed policy of the administration that the expenses of government shall not exceed the receipts. Regardless of what the executive heads may ask of the budget bureau for the support of their special activities, appropriations will not be granted in excess of the estimated revenue. There has come a turning point in federal fiscal affairs that should bring encouragement to every taxpayer. SALVAGING AMMUNITION. The War Department is confronted with the problem of getting rid of $600,000,000 worth of surplus ammunition. The only possible way to use it to is to break it up, utilize the metal in peaceful industries, and transform the powder into some other chemical compound for practical use. It is reported that Henry Ford bought a great quantity of surplus British cordite and turned it into artificial leather for the upholstering of flivvers. Can not some other Yankee genius devise a way for relieving the War Department of its difficulty and turning a lot of good money into the Treasury? EVERY LITTLE HELPS. How improvement in one line of business helps all lines of business was illustrated when cotton went to 20 cents, increasing the value of the crop by $60,000,000 or more. Immediately there was a spurt in buying orders in the South, many of them given to northern wholesalers and manufacturers. There was extensive buying of fertilizers, much used in the South. The increased buying meant more business for the railroads and employment of more men in all lines of industry. In the same way, the adjustment of the labor trouble in construction circles in Chicago started activity not only in building but in every line of business even indirectly affected by construction. Now what will happen next to start another upward movement? MISRULE IN VIRGINIA. Henry W. Anderson, who is running for governor of Virginia on the Republican ticket, charges that under continuous rule by the Democratic party that state has suffered 30 years of misrule. And anyone who travels over the state will agree with the statement. In fact, the same charge has been made in the past by Democrats. Public funds have been wasted instead of being used economically for public improvements, and, as one result, Virginia now has about the worst public highways that can be found anywhere in the country. It might be a good idea for even a Virginia Democrat to vote for a good Republican like Editor John Mitchell, candidate for governor, this year, just to show the Democratic machine that the people have the independence to rebuke leaders of their own party for breach of trust. MORE FOR SERVICE. Representative Sidney Anderson, chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Agriculture, finds from the evidence, that out of every dollar the consumer pays, 49 cents goes for service, 37 cents for production and 14 cents for profits. Those of us who are old enough to remember the manner in which goods were bought and sold a generation ago, will be inclined to agree with the assertion that service takes 49 cents of the dollar. In the "good old days" we bought sugar by the dollar's worth and it was scooped out of a barrel into a paper bag. Now we get it in one or two-pound pasteboard packages. We used to buy oatmeal in large quantities, now we get it in small pasteboard packages. We used to buy bacon by the chunk and now we get it in slices rolled in oiled paper and put up in pasteboard. The milkman used to pour milk in a milk we left on the porch, and the milk was about all we paid for. Now we get it in bottles and we not only pay for the bottling and the broken and stolen bottles, but we pay an inspector for examining the dairy barn, we pay a veterinarian for testing/the cows for tuberculosis, we pay for the better barn the dairyman is required to maintain, we pay for the extra help the dairyman must employ to meet the requirements of the inspector, and we pay for the extra capital the dairyman must invest' in his business. We used to wash the milk pail in our own sinks; now we pay someone else in food either as dealer or consumer a few decades ago. We are paying more and more for service and relatively less for the actual food we consume. Undoubtedly the extra service is worth it, or we wouldn't pay the extra cost FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money.

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

EVILS OF MALNUTRITION Elizabeth McCormick Fund Being Used to Eliminate Under-Nourishment In Chicago Schools—Results Have Been Very Gratifying. Very few people in America are actually denied sufficient food, notwithstanding prevailing high prices. A great number, however, are improperly fed and consequently undernourished—starved. This is because most people insist on eating what they like best, what is cheapest or most easily obtained and prepared regardless of its food value or its effect on the health. Too little thought is given to providing the various food elements required by the body in certain proportions—to balancing the rations. Unfortunately, people generally know but little in a practical way about actual food values and sane, hygienic eating. Few give the matter any thought until their health is shattered and their constitutions are undermined. Continued dietetic errors—over-eating, the eating of foods which have harmful effects and the failure to eat enough foods supplying vital elements which many of the richest and most palatable foods lack—are at the root of most cases of sickness and yearly send thousands of persons, old and young, to untimely graves. Discussing malnutrition and its evil effects in lowering the mental and physical efficiency of school children, a writer in the Illustrated World tells us that doctors and nutrition experts, under the supervision of the Elizabeth McCormick memorial fund, some time ago began a systematic campaign to eliminate malnutrition in the Chicago public schools. They found that about 40 per cent. of the city's school children were suffering from malnutrition. It is estimated that fully one-third of the children in the schools who are classed as hopelessly sub-normal can be brought back to average health and intelligence within six months by proper feeding. Already, proper feeding has wrought wonders in making normal children out of Chicago pupils formerly far below the average in intelligence or mental alertness. Gratifying improvement has also been noted in the cases of physically weak or sickly, excessively nervous children. The public schools are coming to recognize the fact that heretofore they have been too much concerned with the mental development of their pupils to take care of their physical welfare. They now realize that it is as much the school's business to keep the child physically fit as it is to train him mentally. One Chicago schoolboy was two years behind in his studies. He was usually listless, sleepy and absent-minded. Punishment did no good and rewards failed to arouse him. The nutrition experts found him to be four inches under the normal height for his age and more than 13 pounds under weight. They questioned him and learned that his food consisted mostly of sweets, meats, and tea and coffee. Cereals were rarely served at the family table and pastry was given the preference over bread at all meals. With the co-operation of his parents his errors of diet were corrected. He ate wholesome foods, well calculated to supply the elements necessary for the proper development of his body and brain. He also got more sleep. Marked gains were noted within a few months and at length he became altogether normal, physically and mentally. An 11-year-old girl pupil who was about 20 pounds under weight was always unhappy and nervous. She was backward in school, subject to fatigue, had no appetite, no enthusiasm, no life. It was found that she had the habit of eating a great deal of cheap candy and drinking soda water. She drank little or no milk but took coffee two or three times a day. Cereals were avoided as were vegetables. She took but little exercise in the open air and often sat up until a late hour reading. She was induced to modify her diet, to eat good plain, coarse food, to drink an abundance of milk and sleep more every day. The result was a gain of 24 pounds in weight and normal health. Taking puny, bony children suffering from malnutrition and making them strong and sturdy, normal mentally and physically, is the work that nutrition experts are repeating in thousands of cases. Pupils found to be suffering from improper feeding are put into "nutrition" classes. They are given books in which to report every bit of food eaten and supplied with tables showing the nutritive values of all foods. From these tables they are taught to calculate the actual nutritive values of different diets and meals. 12.000.000 War Orphans. According to compilations gathered in 18 countries by representatives of the Red Cross, 12,000,000 children in Europe lost one or both parents during the World War. Of these Russia stands at the head with 4,000,000 such children. Germany has 3,000,000 and France 1,000,000. Money Put Into Circulation. Money is put into circulation when it is used to meet any Government expenses, including payment for bullion from which the coin is made.

Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members 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 social rights today. The Irish at 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 wealth will then 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 war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long we continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. BASE All Star Church T SATURDAY, O Ind. A. B. C.'

RUSSIA GREATEST SOURCE Possesses Peculiar Merits in Chemistry and Medicine—High Price and Great Need Have Stimulated Efforts To Increase Production. To look at platinum one would never guess that it is worth eight times as much as gold, for it is simply a grayish-white metal similar in appearance to polished steel. Platinum can be drawn out into very fine wire. That is one reason why it is so valuable to instrument-makers and scientists. It can be melted by raising its temperature sufficiently. At white heat it can be welded. It resists the action of all acids except nitro-hydrochloric. In a finely divided state it possesses in an extraordinary degree the power of condensing gases on its surface; for instance, it can be made to take up 200 times its own volume of oxygen. It acts as a catalyzer, causing chemical action between other substances that otherwise would not act together, without undergoing any change whatever itself. Advantage is taken of this peculiar property for various chemical processes and in the manufacture of a number of important products. One of the most familiar applications in this capacity is in gas-lighters. The lighter has a tip made of spongy platinum. When gas comes in contact with it it ignites because of the presence of condensed oxygen in very close contact with the gas in the pores of the metal. Although heavier than gold or silver, it is as readily worked as either. For these reasons and because of its great intrinsic value it is much in demand for jewelry. It is also very useful for certain purposes in dentistry. Platinum was first discovered in the mountains of South America. At that time no-one but chemists and physicists was interested in it as no practical use for it was known. Later extensive deposits were found in the Ural mountains of Russia. Before the war nearly all of the metal produced and used in the world came from Russian mines. A century ago the Russian government minted three-ruble pieces of platinum. A single one of these coins, of the original nominal value of about $1.60 in our money, would now have a metal value of nearly $100. From time to time scientists discovered new uses for platinum and it gradually increased in value. A couple of decades ago it had reached a parity with gold. When the great war came on and it was found indispensable in the production of explosives and other war supplies its value went up to twice that of gold. At present, as previously stated, it is worth eight times as much as the yellow metal and the demand for it is far greater than the visible supply. The high price and the need of platinum have stimulated efforts to increase its production. It is expected that these efforts will double the output of the Colombia workings, from which the allies' supplies were largely drawn during the war. Large deposits have been discovered in Westphalia, Germany. Traces of the metal have been found in Alaska and the Federal Government is trying to locate deposits there which can be worked profitably. Some also has been found in Australia, Borneo, Africa, Mexico, Honduras, Lapland and Ireland. Until a large deposit is found elsewhere Russia will continue to control the richest supply source in the world. No only are ores rich in the metal abundant in the Ural mountains but the mining of them is comparatively simple and easy. As Lenline naively remarked to some Englishmen who were feeling out the possibilities of securing platinum concessions, Russia's platinum deposits are worth immeasurable gold mines and oil wells. When platinum was cheap, society women would have scorned to wear jewelry made of it, but now that it costs so much more than gold they are clamoring for ornaments made of it. Engagement and wedding rings of platinum are considered the only thing in high society. Many women are heartless about such things and if every ounce of platinum they wore meant a score of human lives—as it does—they would still wear it and glory in it. All the platinum produced, and much more, is sadly needed for scientific, medical and other beneficent purposes but milady demands a large share of it for trinkets. Hence men must risk life and limb to scour the earth for a few traces of this essential metal. An Aid to the Sign-Painter A reflecting projector, such as is used for throwing post-card pictures on a screen, has been used successfully for outlining designs to be painted on signboards. Not only does this save considerable time but it results in better work, we are told. Of course, it is necessary to work at night on outdoor signs. That is practically the only drawback to the method. TEMPLE THEATRE 2322 E. 55th St., near Central Ave. Maurice Bolasny, Mgr. Friday, Sept. 30. WANDA HAWLEY in "Her First Elopement."

PREJUDICE "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature."— THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the consecrious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant 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 Sumner. 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 co-wards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Our advertisers want your trade.

The efficiency of Thedford's Black-Draught, the genuine, herb, liver medicine, is vounded for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a grocer of this city. "It is without doubt the best liver medicine, and I don't believe I could get along without it. I take it for sour stomach, headache, bad liver, indigestion, and all other troubles that are the result of a torpid liver. "I have known and used it for years, and can and do highly recommend it to every one. I won't go to bed without it in the house. It will do all it claims to do. I can't say enough for it." Many other men and women throughout the country have found Black-Draught just as Mr Parsons describes—valuable in regulating the liver to its normal functions, and in cleansing the bowels of impurities. Thedford's Black-Draught liver medicine is the original and only genuine. Accept no imitations or substitutes. Always ask for Thedford's. E. 88 Patronize Our Advertisers See us First for all JOHN S.

Added Millions to Wealth of Canada At Small Government Salary. to Small Government salary. Commenting on the fact, cited in a recent published article, that the breeder of the American wheat that has added millions of the crop of Canada is at present enjoying the munificent salary of $3,000 a year. Engineering and Contracting (Chicago) says editorially as follows: "Capitalism produces inequalities in individual income that are often unjust. But the leveling of incomes under socialist government, if not actually unjust, may at least be uneconomic, for the absence of prizes for meritorious achievement certain retards economic progress. All governments are in some measure socialist. Rarely does any government reward its best brain-workers in a manner comparable with the rewards securable in private life. The result is decreased inventiveness. To such an extent is ingenuity suppressed by lack of governmental rewards that it is a common saying that no public employee has ever produced a noteworthy invention. While this is an exaggeration, nevertheless it is sufficiently close to the truth to cause no surprise when we do occasionally read of some really important improvement made by a public servant. . . Had it been possible for Dr. Saunders to patent his 'invention' of this remarkable variety of wheat, he could have made a great fortune even were his royalties but a small percentage of the total resulting economic gain. The injustice of the public is such that he probably will never be adequately compensated for his great achievement. But entirely apart from such injustice is the economic foolishness of so conducting our governments that superior intelligence must seek employment in private affairs if it is to receive proper reward. One of the fundamental laws of scientific management is the payment of services in proportion to performance. Failure to observe this law is at the bottom of most of the prevailing inefficiency. Occasionally a public employee like Dr. Saunders produces results that seem to negative the truth of this law of management, but it should be remembered that for every such man who will devote his entire energy and ability to public service regardless of recompense there are a hundred who will not." THE DISAPPEARING RING. How to Perform a Stunt That Will Mystify Spectators. The magician borrows a ring from one of his spectators. After placing a handkerchief over it, he asks someone to grasp it through the handkerchief, spread the latter over the top of a glass tumbler and then release the ring so it will drop into the tumbler. When this person releases his hold everyone will distinctly hear the ring strike the bottom of the glass, but when the handkerchief is lifted behold no ring is in sight. Everybody will be amazed, particularly when the magician reaches into one's pocket and brings, forth the missing ring The handkerchief is prepared in advance by sewing a white thread to its center and tying a ring to the free end of the thread. When the conjurer borrows the ring he must "palm" it, that is, cleverly slip it into the palm of his hand and contrive to hold it there. The handkerchief is then spread out over the ring attached to it by the thread. The spectator who is asked to assist of course grasps this ring, never suspecting that it is other than the borrowed one. When he releases it over the glass it glass, causes a sound the same as a free ring falling into it would. In raising the handkerchief from the glass the ring is brought up too, the performer taking care that it is hidden under the folds of the cloth. The borrowed ring is found in a spectator's pocket because the magician has taken care to slip it in while everyone was watching the handkerchief over the glass. If there is no chance to do this without detection the performer may retain the ring in his palm when he reaches into the pocket. NEW CABLE CODE. New System Reduces Cost of Trans mitting Messages One-Third. A Seattle woman has worked out a new code for transmitting cable messages. This, it is said, will reduce the cost of cable messages one-third. It is already in use by Western business concerns. The best codes herefore available require five letters for the transmission of a single phrase. The new one requires but three. The number of letters in any one word is limited by cable companies to 10 so that with the older codes not more than two phrases can be sent at the cost of one word. The new code which contains 50,000 phrases commonly used in business makes it possible to send three phrases at the cost of one 10-leter word. Obviously material savings in cable tols will be affected when business houses engaged in foreign trade substitute the new code for the old. SENSITIVENESS IN PLANTS. Interesting Information Concerning Botanical Habits It is an interesting fact that parts of various plants respond to external exciting causes very much the same as if they had special senses and nervous systems similar to those of animals. For example, it is well known that the pitcher plant, the venus fly-trap, the milk-weed and other insect-catching plants have flowers or other parts sensitive to touch. If a fly, a bee or other insect touches this delicately sensitive part of the plant the trap operates instantly, making the insect a prisoner to be leisurely digested and absorbed as food. The action takes place very much the same as that of some part of an animal's body in responding to external stimulus. With the coming of darkness the leaves of various plants close up more or less. Then, stimulated by the light of a new day, they open again to normal daytime position. Everyone has observed that flowers are also sensitive to light, closing their petals at night and opening them with the return of the sun's light. In some instances flowers are influenced more in this respect by warmth than by light. In the tropical regions of America there grows a plant so sensitive that on being touched it folds all its leaflets in the same manner as in the dark hours of the night. Several species of plants possessing this peculiar characteristic are native to the United States but none of them is as sensitive as the one called the "sensitive plant." The roots and shoots of all growing plants respond in a remarkable manner to gravitation. This tendency to grow in a definite direction with reference to this force is known scientifically as "geotropism." In some manner not perfectly understood gravity causes an unequal growth in the younger parts of growing plants and this in turn causes them to grow in the manner with which everyone is familiar—roots downward and stem and branches upward. The main object of the flower's closing at night is the protection of the pollen from being soaked and injured by dew. Most flowers either close their petals and change their position when it rains—some do both—in order that the precious pollen may not be damaged or washed away. VANISHING HANDKERCHIEF. Here is Good Trick When Skillfully Performed. In performing this simple trick the magician draws—apparently—an ordinary handkerchief from his pocket and as he flourishes it in his hand it suddenly disappears. He then reaches into his pocket and brings forth the handkerchief again. Two ordinary handkerchiefs exactly alike are needed. One is tucked to the middle of the other. This'string of course should be white so it will not be noticed. It is drawn up through the sleeve, passes across the back under the coat and is fastened to a button on the opposite side. Its length is such that when the arm is extended the handkerchief will be drawn up inside the cuff where it is out of sight but still within reach of the fingers. In reaching for the handkerchief in the first place the performer puts both hands behind his back as if pulling it out of his hip pocket. In reality he pulls the handkerchief from his sleeve with his free hand so that it can be grasped in the fingers of the other. In waving it he takes care at last to throw out his arm to its full length. This of course stretches the string and causes the handkerchief to be jerked suddenly inside his sleeve. It goes so quickly and unexpectedly that no one knows what becomes of it. To restore the "vanished" handkerchief he simply reaches into his pocket and draws forth the duplicate previously placed there. This is a good trick and if skillfully performed will keep the wisest ones guessing. It may be repeated several times but the danger of detection of course increases with each repetition. ENGLISH SCHEME FAILS. Few British War Veterans Willing to Take Up Farming. An account of a plan of the British government for settling ex-service men in overseas dominions was recently published. It was agreed to pay the fare of any soldier together with his wife and other dependents to the nearest port of a dominion, provided the dominion government accepted his application. Special grants were THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, OCTOBER 1, 1921 also made to men unable to pay theft own way to an inland destination. Ohio's Anti-I It has turned out that this scheme of settlements is a failure. The number of applications is small but they are still too many for the committee in charge to handle. Only a few applicants are being sent each week. The dominions want men who will go on the land. Canada will not accept them under any other conditions nor will any be allowed to come by free passage, even though they are veterans. Few of the applicants are willing to take up farming, however. GAS FROM STRAW. Experts Hope to Find Way to Utilize Wast Farm Materials. Government chemists have succeeded experimentally in producing a satisfactory gas or motor fuel from wheat straw. The gas is said to burn with a blue flame and to possess combustible elements similar to coal gas. Gas equivalent in heat and power units to 40 gallons of gasoline can be obtained from each ton of straw. The production of gas from oats and rye straw as well as cornstalks, dry weeds and other farm refuse is now being investigated. It is hoped that a way may be found for each farm to utilize its waste materials or by-products for making gas to supply heating and power needs. MAGNETIZING STEEL. Different Methods of "Touch" Treatment Explained. Bars of steel may be magnetized by simply touching them or stroking them from end to end with the pole of a permanent magnet. In such a case the last touched point of the bar will be a pole of the opposite identity to that used to stroke it. A more certain effect is produced if one pole of the permanent magnet is rubbed on one end of the steel bar to be magnetized and the other pole is rubbed on the other end. To magnetize a bar by the "divided touch" method, lay it down horizontally and place two bar magnets on it with opposite poles together. The bar magnets, held at an angle, are then drawn apart from the center of the bar to be magnetized towards the ends and back again. After repeating this operation several times the bar is turned over and the same treatment is given. Care should be taken to finish the last stroke at the center. In the "double touch" method a small piece of wood is placed between the ends of the bar magnets used. They are then moved back and forth over the steel to be magnetized in a manner similar to that in the divided touch treatment. It is impossible to magnetize a steel bar beyond a certain degree of intensity called "magnetic saturation." A steel magnet loses its magnetism partially or wholly if it is subjected to rough usage. Newly magnetized articles lose more strength by such rough treatment than those which have been long magnetized. Hens are used for hatching fish in China. The spawn is placed in eggshells and hermetically sealed. Then the hen is induced to sit on them. At the proper time the little fish are removed and placed in carefully-tended ponds. THE WORD, "BOOZE." its Origin Dates Back to Presidential Campaign of 1840. "Booze," a general term for intoxicating liquor, has been used extensively for some years, particularly since the beginning of the active antiliquor situation. The word first became a synonym back in the year 1840. It appears. In that year occurred the celebrated "log cabin and hard cider" campaign of W. H. Harrison for the presidency. After he had been nominated by the Whigs his opponents sought to bellittle him by describing him as a man who lived in a log cabin and drank hard cider. His friends succeeded in turning this in his favor. A log cabin carried on men's shoulders was made a prominent feature of political rallies. "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" was made the campaign slogan. "Tippecanoe" being Harrison's nickname, won in a battle against the Indians in 1811; Tyler was Harrison's running-mate in the campaign and succeeded to the presidency on the latter's death a month after their inauguration. In the heat of the campaign, one E. J. Booze had a quart whisky bottle made in the shape of a log cabin. On the roof of the cabin were the words, "E. J. Booze's Log Cabin Whisky." The liquor became fairly popular and soon drinkers got in the habit of designating it simply by the name "booze," calling for a "bottle of booze" or "some booze." Thereafter, the term came to be applied indiscriminately to various "hard" liquors and finally to intoxicating drinks in general. 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. 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 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 Mobs Section "Mob" and "lynching" defined. "Serious injury" defined. Damages in case of assault. Damages in case of lynching. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. Limitations of action. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. Guardian's custody, etc., fees.

(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 in 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 incured.

Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of are of legal age, and then 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 of the deceased. Such sum shall be distribution of the personality of an 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. (93 v 162 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.

Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for murder or assault. (93 v 162 7. Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery has been, 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) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. 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 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homi- cation 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 nor more than one hundred dollars to the per-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 our people will not use it as often as they should, and then they must 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 outey 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) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed.
