And Harry is busying himself looking around for none other than Jack Dempsey. "I would like to fight that fellow just once—just once would be 'enough.'" comments Wills. Wills made a great hit in Cuba and a financial boner. He didn't think that his bout with Gunboat Smith would draw a very big house. So when $5,000 was offered for his end he forgot all about asking for a percentage option. "As a result, he got only $5,000 while the gate totaled $43,000." It required only a few seconds for Wills to polish off the veteran white man. Looking back in retrospect at the 1921 season of our Nat'l Baseball league, one cannot help but see clearly the many mistakes made. Numerous complaints from around the circuit have been heard in regard to inequalities of the schedule and arbitrary treatment.Rube Foster, manager of the American Giants and well known as owner of the Columbus Buckeyes, is also president of the "league" and the chief schedule maker. These positions should not be held by one man, for with the best of motives the desire to advance one's own fortune will manifest itself. This could be seen clearly, last season. Foster has done much for baseball among us but he has also gained financially and "the child" is now about grown. He should be willing to give up some of these positions or be forced to do so. A fair-minded schedule committee of five magnates ought to be named. If Messrs. Tate, Mills, Taylor, Blunt and Wilkinson are farseeing they will insist on this being done for the future good of our baseball efforts. "Henry Lincoln." Again! WASHINGTON, D. C.—The U. S. Senate District of Columbia committee, by a vote of 6 to 2 authorized a favorable report to the Senate on the nomination, of Henry Lincoln Johnson, to be recorder of deeds for the district.

AFFIDAVIT State of Ohio SS Cuyahoga County D. U. Mills; 2403 Central. Ave. Cleveland, O., being first duly sworn according to law, deposes and says that he is an appointed official wit- ness in precinct BB of the. 11th ward; that said precinct is located at the corner of E. 40th St. and Central Ave.; that he was present at the above mentioned voting booth on the morning of Nov. 8th, acting in his official capacity as witness, and challenger in the interest of Harry C. Smith. Affiant says that on the above mentioned date, Mrs. I. W. Ellis, a voter in said precinct, voted, and that after she voted she folded said ballots and handed same to one of the clerks to be placed in the ballot box. Affiant says that the aforementioned ballots were taken from the clerk by J. C. Hudson, who is not an official in the booth but a voter in this precinct and a nephew of "Starlight" Boyd; that said ballots were opened by the said J. C. Hudson, examined and handled by him and placed on the table. Affiant says that all the foregoing was within the knowledge of the judges and clerks in the booth, and that there was no attempt made to prevent him from handling and interfering with these ballots, and to the best of his knowledge and belief all the foregoing was contrary to the laws as laid down for the counting of ballots in an election. Affiant further says that the aforementioned Mrs. Ellis demonstrated with the election officials that same was contrary to the election laws, and she was ordered by Mrs. Tom Fleming, wife of the present councilman, who is a candidate for re-election, to leave the booth, and that she did leave the booth. Affiant further says that previous to the voting of Mrs. Ellis, he noticed several marked ballots lying upon the table which had not been placed in the box, and which were opened. Affiant further says that he was in the booth before six-thirty and that he noticed a pile of marked ballots lying on the table, although he knew that the booths were not open for voting until six-thirty a. m. Further affiant sayeth not. (Signed) D. U. MILLS. Sworn to before me and subscribed in my presence by the above mentioned D. U. Mills, this eighth day of November, 1921.

E. corner of E. 40th St. and Central Ave., Cleveland, O. The affiant says that on Nov. 8, 1921, she went into said booth at or about 6:25 a. m. and was duly presented with ballots to be marked and cast in the election being held on said date. The affiant says that upon presentation of her properly marked and folded ballots for deposit, that she was requested to lay them on the table and pass out, by Mrs. Lethia Fleming, a judge in said booth. The affiant further says that she demurred and demanded that said ballots be deposited in the proper ballot box, in her presence, the said being her legal right. Also that Mrs. Fleming opened and looked at one of affiant's ballots. The affiant further says that in addition to the judges and clerks present was one Juriman C. Hudson, a nephew of one "Starlight" Boyd, who did deliberately unfold and read or inspect ballots offered for deposit, this in the presence of the duly qualified judges and officials of the booth, who did not offer any objection or remonstrance. Affiant further affirms that she reported these facts to City Policeman No. 896, on duty near said voting booth, and was informed that he would go in the booth and "see about it."

Mob Victim's Widow Gets $2,000 LAURENS, S. C.—The widow of Joe Stewart, who was lynched here in April, 1920, has just won a verdict of $2,000 damages as a result of the lynching, from the county of Laurens. Suit for the amount under the constitutional requirements was brought by the widow. Henrietta Stewart, in the common pleas court, and Judge McLver, presiding, directed the jury to bring in a verdict for the full sum. Stewart was taken from the city jail and hanged from a river bridge on the night of his arrest after trouble with a party of young white brutes, two of whom received knife wounds, while Stewart was defending himself. He was an Afro-American. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Ballot Jugglers and Their Assistants in Ward 11 Election Day-A Hot Time in Prospect Watch for It. The supporters of Hon. Harry C.

The fight of the citizens of ward 11, in the Central Ave., district, for a cleanup, climaxed in the election held on the 8th. The returns show that the "gang" apparently ruled, but the people now have thrown the spotlight on the back of the affair, with the result that unheard of corruption, political handiwork and vulgar erroneery on election day have been disclosed as the only weapon of offense and defense in the hands of those who sought Mr. Smith's defeat and would not have the sordid condition in ward 11 made patent to those who do not have a "star"ator in their vicinity. The Central Body of ward 11, which so valiantly championed the "cleaner" peoples' cause in that ward in the recent contest, can with much pride, preen itself on the fact that it made its fight on Maschke, "Starlight" Boyd, FitzGerald and their political creation, "Tom," and at no time carried it into the families, of any of the persons aforementioned. It did no "mud-slinging." That was left, to the "enemy" and they certainly did a plenty. But did the "goodenoughers," most of whom for reasons best known to themselves moved from the ward long, long ago, act as considerate? Attention is hereby called to the fact that not a single one of those, who extolled the present miserable living conditions or heaped slimy abuse on the people of the 11th ward, were residents of the ward. The lying pamphlet was fostered by people from other wards. Their principal "muckers" were people from other wards. The better element in the ward as a whole simply would not descend to the level of the speakers who have moved to other wards and who were pressed into service to thwart the will of the people of ward 11. Syd Thompson acting as challenger-in-chief for "Fitz" and "Tom" in the ward, "Starlight," "Tom" and "Germany" apparently entered the booths at will, others of their coworkers (wives, other relatives and close friends) serving as clerks, judges and in other capacities in and around the booths. When we consider these impediments, we can congratulate ourselves on the fact that Mr. Smith won and decisively, too, the "defeated" on the face of the returns. A victory was won when it was made evident during the campaign that Maschke, "Star," "Fitz," and "Tom" could not exist; if something was not done to stop the rise in the Central Ave. district, Mayor-elect Kohler, who wasn't conceded a ghost of a chance, was entirely overlooked in their efforts to keep the Central Ave. district in line for Mayor FitzGerald. Their entire machinery was moved into this district with numerous importations with the result that their fighting lines in other wards were weakened. They apparently carried their end in the district, but say, folks, what happened to them in the rest of the city? FitzGerald and Maschke and "Star" were beaten. Kohler, the one who once started "Starlight" on the way to oblivion, and who gained Roosevelt's encomium as the "best police chief" in America, is to be our next mayor and, please God, being in a greater position than police chief, we can now say a good battle has been fought, a wonderful victory won; and we can truthfully shout: We have been redeemed and will soon be rid of "too much Starlight." And, the present outlook is that "Tom" too, will ere long have to GO! Brickbats and Bouquets.

Figure it out, yourself. 80 per cent. to us, 20 per cent. to the rest of the city. Lest we forget! It was while creating a reputation as "the best police chief in America" that Mayor-elect Kohler practically backed "Star" off the board. If Mayor Kohler takes up where Chief Kohler left off (and he will do so), we have won decisively. It was the Central Body of Ward 11 that kept Maschke and "Star" so busy trying to save "Fitz" and "Tom" in the Central Ave. district that they forgot Kohler was in the race. With the result that—well, remember that we aided you in the abstract, Mr. Mayor-elect. The better element of ward 11 is under irremovable obligations to Mrs. J. D.

From State Representative to candidate for the city council—Harry C. Smith. From Congressman to candidate for mayor—Theodore Burton. From President to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court—Wm. H. Taft. From wife of a city representative to ward-heeler and ballot jungler, etc.—??? Which is the most odious descent? When school-teachers give their O. K. to the miserable immoral and living conditions in ward 11 who is to have mercy on the children in the Central Ave. district outside of the Lord and the decent parents and people of that section of the city. It was the Master who said to those who would demand the death of the Magdalene: "Let he, who is without guilt, cast the first stone." Who heaved those bricks at Kohler? What would Jesus do? What will Kohler do? The 11th ward still pleads for the privilege of living clean. To the best police chief in America, we now direct our plaint. Help us to live as we would like to live. Don't deny us the right to a cleaner atmosphere. "Will you walk into my parlor" said the spider to the fly? And the decent ministers of the gospel in ward 11 and vicinity said, "no!" Speaking of rotten politics, plans are being made by the "mob" to oust those members, of the different fraternities of which "Tom" advertises himself as being a member, who had the self-respect to oppose him in his recent campaign. Maybe they'll extend their plans to his church too. If they succeed, how many Christians will be left in it, and how many good men will be left in the lodges referred to? It has been remarked by many business places and persons in ward 11 and even by those of the opposition that they could easily distinguish the "Smith" workers from the others, election day, because" the Smith workers were invariably sober." The Universal Negro Improvement, Association, of Cleveland showed the quailty that makes for good government in the recent campaign. This country has always bragged of the way it handled Benedict Arnold. Debs is now in jail for "hucking" the government. The U. N. I. A. indorsed Hon. Harry C.

They see in H, G. Wells' "Outline of History," a model book for the present day pupil and believe that the style of text books on other subjects should be patterned after it. American pupils have got along very well for upwards of a century on histories written by American authors. The brand of patriotism that those volumes have inculcated in the youthful mind helped to make the men who have managed this country's destiny for a hundred years. Would we well to let well enough continue the educational that have demonstrated h to so many generations? 1. KLD'S CA TIAL PRO TEM. For a brief period Washington is virtually the cap of the world. The great men of the leading actions are there, engaged in forming agreements that will profound affect the foreign policies, expenditures, and general welfare of their respective states. The United States is pleased that such beneficial arrangements are being concentrated within its borders, but after the conclusions have been reached there will be no disposition here to direct the affairs of the world. The conferences will return to their respective countries and engage in the work of putting into effect the relief made possible by the Washington agreements, free from any suggestions from America as to how they should proceed. If the abundant good will manifested among the armaments conferences as they gathered for the opening meetings can be translated into permanent agreements between them, the conference will adjourn with a bright record of accomplishments, GATHERING IN THE GRAVY. In the first installment of his story of his relations with Woodrow Wilson, Mr. Tumulty relates that former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, William F. McCombs, who was admittedly one of the original Wilson men, wanted to be Attorney General and gave as his reason for that desire that it would help him as a lawyer after his term of office expired. President Wilson is reported as exclaiming, "What a surprising statement for any man to make! Why, Tumulty, many of the scandals of previous administrations have come about in this way, cabinet officers using their positions to advance their own personal fortunes. It must not be done in our administration." There is nothing in the quotation from Mr. McCombs to indicate that he intended to use his official position in any improper way. To be attorney general would give him national prominence. It would give him an opportunity to demonstrate his ability. That national prominence and demonstration of ability would be a very proper asset for him to use after his retirement from office. Mr. McCombs is now dead and there is no one in a position to answer the implied charge of corrupt motive which Mr. Tumulty now makes. But since Mr. Tumulty has broached this subject and quoted President Wilson as deploring the use of a cabinet position for private advancement, it is worth while to note that Mr. Tumulty is now using his former position as private secretary to President Wilson to make an enormous fortune. He is admittedly disclosing private and confidential information for which he is receiving large sums of money. Moreover, there are several members of the Wilson cabinet, and others who were high in the Wilson administration, who immediately after their retirement from office went into the practice of law in Washington or New York, giving their attention to special features of law practice for which their positions in the government gave them special opportunity. The friends of Mr. McCombs, and they are many, will be willing to have Mr. Tumulty compare any incidents in Mr. McCombs' law practice and the fees he received with the practice and the fees collection by former members of the Wilson administration since their retirement from office. Owing to the FitzGerald administration's "laxiness" the hotels, inns and lodging houses of Cleveland, failed to comply with the law requiring a report to be made to the board of elections, on the Monday prior to the registration of voters for the November election, giving the names of all employees and persons living in their establishments, together with the length of residence and other information. The law was enacted several years ago following election scandals, investigation into which disclosed that "floaters" from flophouses and lodging houses had registered and voted. This was undoubtedly the cause of much of the wholesale illegal registration and voting in wards 8, 11, 12 and others on Nov. 8. 21. Have you noticed that Mayor FitzGerald's and Councilman Fleming's precinct vote were almost always the same and that this same thing is true of their total vote, in ward 11? (Continued from Page 1) tempted to "flirt" with the people that the organization hadn't indorsed, Castor oil never acted on anybody as quick as that body acted on these false leaders. They really got rid of them. Ask the former vice-president of the Men's club of the political end of the U. N. I. A. about the "walloping" they gave him preliminary to bouncing him. If all false leaders of our people were handled likewise there would soon be a number of churches around here with new heads. Upon a cereal reading of The Dyer Anti-bunching bill, now being considered at Washington, D. C., and a casual retrospect of the Ohio Anti-Lunching law, one will find that Ohio has long had what the country is now trying to get, and that Mr. Dyer has bodily taken compi- sections from the law, which the Hon. Harry C. Smith fostered, and inserted them in the bill that we hope will soon become national. And the handsome cheques, which were made out to a number of Judases for their betrayal of the people of the Central Ave. district, were refused payment after the Judases had delivered their measly souls to the man whose middle name is deprivity. Rev. Clarke and the good people of St. Johns can depend on the good people of the Central Ave. district for their unstinted approval and support in any effort they see fit to make in effort to rid themselves of any of the increment that has radiated from the upper end of the district into its immediate neighborhood. Quite a few of the "apprehensive" are leaving town, and to those who can't very well leave town, we would suggest that an open confession is good for the soul. THE WARD 11 FARCE THE WARD 11 FARCE Tuesday's election, as far as ward 11 is concerned, was turned into a blooming force when the Board of Elections refused to permit our challengers to enter the election booths in that ward after promising to do so, because the election of officials were allowed to handle ballots, etc., before the booths opened that morning. Although the courts were appealed to and a mandatory mandamus, ordering the Board to admit our challengers in the booths during the day and our witnesses from 6:30 p.m. (when the polls closed) on until the count was finished, the challengers were denied admittance to the booths on the order of the Board which alleged it had not been properly notified of the Judge Levine decision granting the mandamus. From all we can learn there is very good reason to believe that about all the crooked work necessary to defeat Mr. Smith, candidate for the city council in ward 11, was done before the booths were formally opened at 6:30 a.m., Tuesday morning. In addition to this there were so many the irregularities in the voting during the day that the voting in ward 11, Tuesday, was a blooming fare, pure and simple. And the end is not yet! No fair minded and unbiased person in ward 11 familiar with the situation but will acknowledge that there were three Smith votes in that ward to every one Fleming vote.

Queer Story of Couple's 35 Years' Seeking and Gaining the Almighty Dollar by Paths Winding and Devious—The Court's Novel Opinion. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.—Even as the sword of Solomon threatened to cleave a baby in two to settle the ancient dispute of two women, so the sword of justice in Hennepin County District Court descended, and, with one fell swoop, neatly divided the estate of the late George Speis, bartender, Minneapolis trance artist and the husband of two women. Each of the women, who claimed Speis as husband over a period of 35 years, was awarded a half interest in Minneapolis and Hennepin County real estate valued at $50,000 during the trial. Mary Speisel was the plaintiff; Anna Barbara Speisel, the defendant. Both are more than 50 years old. Mary Speisel, Judge H. D. Dickison ruled, 'a Speisel' legal widow by virtue of her marriage to him at the age of 14 in 1881 in Pittsburgh. But, the judge decided, Mary is entitled to half the estate because the property was the accumulation of the joint earnings and profits of Gerge Speisel and Anna Barbara Speisel, although, according to the decision, Anna Barbara was never Speisel' lawful wife, as she claimed to be, but Anna, the court held, is the legal owner of half the estate. Anna Barbara, aged 66, who laughed and wept on the witness stand as she recounted her adventures and proved herself a match for both judge and attorney, went through a ceremony of marriage with Speisel, employed as bartender in her saloon, although she knew he had failed to get a divorce from Mary Speisel, the court holds. "I hold the so-called ceremony of marriage between George Speiss and Anna Barbara was a farce, an empty pretense," Judge Dickinson said in his decision. "The defendant is now an old woman, blind. She contributed her share to the joint business enterprises of herself and George Speiss. It poured out of her, and it poured unjust to rob her of her just share in the joint savings and cast it in the tap of one who is entitled to not more than a like portion. "The facts entitle the defendant to an equal share, but not more, in the estate of the deceased, George J. Speiss, independent of her life with him. Each knew the other had a lawful spouse living. The ceremony—if there was one—was a bluff—a piece of theatrics—quite in keeping with the rest of their sham lives. But the law will not deny to the sinner the sanctity of property rights more than to the virtuous. Their relations should be regarded as a sidelight merely on the lives of these two adventurers, whose mutual resolution to combine their labors and capital, backed by a generous cunning and resourcefulness, resulted in the requirement, for the benefit of both, of the estate. "For 25 years," the decision goes on, "we have a period of 16 months, these days, of lax moral standards, found in other's society sufficiently conscientious to work together seeking and gaining the almighty dollar, by paths winding and devious, through many States and cities, from a saloon here to a hotel or restaurant there, realizing some fair profits from investments in real estate by shrewd manipulation, he furnishing brains, ingenuity and originality and she the cash, until in 1900 they settled in Minneapolis and for the most part engaged in the fortune telling business with periodic excursions to other places, attending fairs and pleasure resorts, plying the ordinary arts and tricks of charmarty—he the manager, the press agent, the advertiser; she the sorceress, the spirit medium, the trance artist." Finding that Mary, as the widow is entitled to George Speiss' one-half share and Anna Barbara to the other half as her own property, Judge Dickinson granted Mary her costs in the action and ordered a stay of 40 days. GETS $5,000; DISAPPEARS. Film Explorer Collects From Prospective Moving-Picture Stars. PITTSBURGH, PA.—Police are searching for one Job Smith, moving picture adventurer, who is said to have muted a score of young men out of sums aggregating $5,000. Complaint was made by some of the alleged victims who entrusted him with amounts ranging from $05 to $200, the police say. According to city detectives, Smith advertised for male screen actors, and interviewed prospective stars in a downtown hotel. Those accepted were told to meet him prepared to leave for New York immediately, the detectives say. After waiting in vain for several hours the young men became suspicious and notified the police. Detectives state that Smith was lavish in his promises to his dupe. There was a knock at the office door, says the London Chronicle, and a clerk threw up the communication panel, through which was thrust a parcel wrapped in brown paper, some two feet square. Thinking to "take a rise" out of the office boy, the clerk called out: "Johnny, here's your lunch arrived!" Some time later another package arrived, with a quantity of straw exposed to view through an opening in the end. "Mr. Jones," yelled the office boy, "your lunch has come now!" C.B.Q.

Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a ripier 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. 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 law, the guillotine law, and guillotines decide disputes.

INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CO. N.Y. 32X WHATSA MATTER? I GOT A STIFF NECK Some Interesting Statistics of Last Year's Work. Wonderful Results—Hospitals, Children, the Aged and Many Org. organizations Helped—Everybody interested! Cleveland is to conduct its annual Community Fund campaign, beginning Nov. 12, and ending Nov. 21. During this drive funds are raised to operate Cleveland's 110 charitable and welfare organizations and to pay Cleveland's share of state, national and foreign relief work. This year, though much greater work is necessary than in the past, the community fund is asking for less money. Where they asked $4,500,000 last year, they expect to get along with $3,763,545. This is due to the fact that over a half million will be left from last year's collections. This is money laid up in time of plenty for tough times, and this winter is going to see the tough times. Some interesting statistics have been prepared in connection with the fund campaign which show what the community fund has been doing in the past year. For instance, it is said that if all the people who received some definite service from the community fund agencies in the past year were to be lined up single file, allowing a space of three feet to the person, the line would stretch away to Columbus, if all these people were grouped together, it would make a city the size of Toledo, O. Here are some other figures: If all the people receiving assistance in the form of some definite and distinct service from community fund agencies last year were brought together, they would make a town equal in population to a city the size of Toledo. If the people who received care in the free dispensaries operated by community fund were to be lined up, single file, the line would reach from Palmsville to the Public Square. If the care given patients in community fund hospitals in 1921 were applied continuously to one individual, that individual would have received the equivalent of care lasting from 370 A. D. to the present time— fifteen and one-half centuries. The total attendance at the social settlements supported by community fund would completely fill the public auditorium 75 times. The capacity of the new hall is 12,000. Visiting nurses last year in calling upon the sick and needy in Cleveland and its environs, walked 60,000 miles, the equivalent of twenty times across the American continent, or 2-1-2 times around the world. The milk provided for children by the nutrition agencies of the community fund last year would fill a tank of 46,500 gallon capacity. Community fund's fourteen children's homes and orphanages and the Humane Society's boarding homes last year cared for 3,675 children. The list might be prolonged indefinitely, but perhaps the best way to show the work and the need for it is by the following grouping of community service during 1922. Family Service and Relief. In normal times many families require service and relief because of long continued sickness, accident disability or loss of the bread-winner by death or desertion and for other reasons. In this grouping is also included the service of the Red Cross to the disabled ex-service man and his family. If 1922 were a normal year the cost of this work would be $595,500. Emergency Fund. In addition Cleveland must provide a large emergency fund to care for the unusual demands which will face us during 1922 as a result of the unemployment situation. A minimum estimate of this need is $457,000. Hospitals. There is no question about the necessity of keeping open the doors of our hospitals for the care of the sick and injured. Our hospitals in normal times provide a great deal of free service and care; this feature of hospital service is greatly increased in times of unemployment. Our estimate of expense of furnishing hospital service to those unable to pay the full cost of their care is $664,000. Children. There is nothing more appealing than a homeless or neglected child. No little one must be allowed to suffer for lack of money in the community fund. For the protection and care of orphaned and neglected children, and for their training and placement in institutions and family homes, there will be needed $469,000. The Aged. Two hundred aged and infirm people are dependent on the fund for loving care in the declining years of their lives. For their care in homes for the aged, there will be needed $48,000. Welfare and Jewish Federations. There are 102 local charity, relief and welfare agencies embraced in these two federations. It is the work of the federations to correlate the activities of all of these institutions, to study and apply ways and means of improving all of the service, to prevent overlapping and duplication of effort, to study all questions relating to the adequate occupation of the field to the end that no necessary community service be overlooked, to supervise all expenditures, to seruitize all budgets, and to secure uniform and adequate accounting methods within the institutions. The wastage and loss prevented by the activities of these federations more than offset entire cost of maintenance, which for 1922 is estimated as $79,000. To make provisions for contingent items of expense which are not included in the budgets of the various institutions for 1922 the federations are entrusted with a contingent fund to take care of such emergencies as may arise. These emergencies are in the nature of unusual repair and replacement expenses and other items which cannot be anticipated. The estimated requirement for this purpose is $45,000. Health. For the nursing care of the sick in their homes and the education of their families in the proper methods of home care and for city-wide effort in treatment and disease and accident prevention, there will be needed $202,000. Protection and Reformation. Much distress is prevented and many lives are reclaimed by the Travelers' Aid Society, Brotherhood Club, the Women's Protective Association and the homes for unmarried mothers. For the protection of girls and women and the reformation of women and men $22,000. Building. The fund renders a service of incalculable value to great numbers of boys and girls and young men and young women along the line of their social, recreational, physical and moral needs—the whole service culminating in all the finer things of character. No greater piece of constructive helpfulness is embraced within the service of the fund, notation that could add greater permanent demand to the city on this. Demands on these agencies during the coming months for this great service to young life will be heavier than ever before. Estimated requirement $730,000. Community Fund Expenses. The entire annual expense of the community fund, including all of the expenses incident to the campaign, all of the expense of collection throughout the year, the staff necessary for the work of raising, accounting for and operating the fund totals $145,000. Interest earnings made possible by advance payments during the year, based upon the experience of the past year, are estimated for the year 1922 at $90,000, making the net expense for the entire business operation of the community fund $55,000. *In addition to this amount, a large proportion of all the service embraced under the relief, hospital, health and recreation items is for childhood. Well over half of the entire community fund is spent for the coming generation. One of the most useful things the community fund has done has been to systematize an extremely low overhead, all of the social and welfare solicitation of Cleveland. People who leave Cleveland and go to other cities are particularly impressed with this part of the work. A neighboring city has had 150 tag days within six months, and campaigns are of daily occurrence. In Cleveland, we get together annually, find out how much we need to care for the unfortunates, and do our social and welfare work, and then dig down and bring up the money. There are no paid solicitors, and a very small overhead. It is estimated by fund authorities that 99% of every dollar is passed to the organizations. Only one half cent is needed for collections of money already pledged. Collection costs of independent organizations run as high as 15 per cent before we had the community fund.

HYDE PARK'S CORNER FOR GROUCH TALKERS. A Mecca For Orators With All Sorts Of Grievances. LONDON.—There is one spot in London where sooner or later hundreds of Americans are sure to foregather in the course of a week's visit to the British metropolis. It is the soap box arena in Hyde Park, otherwise the mecca of orators with all sorts of grievances. Sometimes a speaker will go a bit too strong on revolution or Sinn Féin to suit the minions of the law stationed thereabouts to preserve order and is taken before a magistrate. But, on the average, the soap box arena is orderly despite its oratorical pyrtechnics. Americans who remember the intolerance in some of their own home towns for the goods delivered by these forerunners of proletarianism or atheism or a score of other kinds of "isms" are somewhat amazed at the freedom of speech in the soap box arena, especially when they sea, as they frequently do, great mass meetings in the park adjacent to the soap box arena, applauding under a big red flag prognostications of revolution. The soap box arena works early and late, in bad weather and good, and on almost every day in the year. An orator who objects to doing more than seven or eight hours' work at his ordinary occupation is willing to do twelve or more in furtherance of his cause, whatever it may be. But he must be prepared for a lot of heckling. Few statements go unchallenged. Sometimes the arguments grow very animated, and then the Bobble intervenes. If a heckler shows real ability he is often invited to get on the box and state his case, and then the regular speaker follows him to tear his argument to pieces. Alongside an atheist—and atheists are nearly always represented in the arena—will be a woman or a man evangelist inveighing against the accursed influence of atheism. Sometimes the speakers rail at each other from their soap boxes. Often it is hard to listen to one speaker because of the proximity of an old currel organ grinding of Gospel music. On Saturday afternoons the crowd which cluster about the different roostruns number thousands. Even cabinet ministers lend an ear to what is said in the soap box forum. Some of the free-lance speakers in Hyde Park are men of no mean oratorical ability, and some of the most popular are the shabbiest in appearance.

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.

(93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282.

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 according to the ratio of the distribution of the mortality of 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. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283.

(ig. the statutes) under Moba such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) 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 from which the mob came, unless 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 nor more than ten dollars for the person aggrieved thereby to be received 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, 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. Mist by the foolishly manufactured out by the passage of the Beatty bill, a few years ago, 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: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Grace Grover, O. My Dear Sir: Observe 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. 33 LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH in the Beacon-Journal juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours.
