H. Haines. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—The recent election's results carried consolation and regret to many people. A large majority of the voters of the city are most gratified over the defeat of Mayor FitzGerald because, the "organization" was thereby driven hard on the rocks and wrecked. I certainly hope and expect the Mayor-elect Kohler will use a political submarine to make the wrecking permanent. Two years ago, the mayorality campaign weathered a storm precipitated by "Starlight's" exclamation, "Harry's, a good boy," having reference to the then Mayor Harry L Davis, now governor of the state. This time the sea was too rough and the "organization" attempted to sail by starlight instead of by daylight. Had our voters in wards 11 and 12 given the same "unanimous support" to the Maschke "organization" they are supposed to have given in past elections, Mayor FitzGerald would have "won by a safe majority." But the sequel to Kohler's election over "Fitz" was the ward 11 councilmanic fight. It attracted attention in all parts of the city and many voters in wards 11, 12, 17, 18, and 19 and other sections of the city were lost to the mayor because the "organization" was too thoroughly wedded to the "Starlight" standard of representation for our group. In conclusion let me add that the city itself had the type of citizen selected to register to give people, the greater will be their influence with people generally in social, political and other activities. Respectfully submitted. Investigators Sail to Haiti PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-A special committee, appointed by the U. S. senate committee on the conditions in Haiti and the Dominican republic, sailed from the Philadelphia navy yard, Nov. 24, for Port Au Prince on the army transport Argonne. Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois is chairman of the committee. The investigation is expected to take about a month.

Clinthorne, sub halfback of the Case eleven, was also well spoken of by these critics. Slater Thru! Duke Slater, the big-tackle of the University of Iowa's championship football team has played his last game as a member of the varsity eleven. He had every physical quality required and was a smart football player, it being said of him that he could be depended upon to take care of three men's work in any Iowa game. Slater has been made the practically unanimous choice of leading western sport critics, for right tackle on the all-star big ten conference team. Tates Scalp Tomahawks. The Tate Stars had on their war clothes and scalped the Sebesta Tomahawks in a well played game, at Tate field on Thanksgiving day. Score, 19 to 0. The first half was scoreless but in the third quarter our lads got busy and piled up the scores. "Si" Hill, Craighead and Morrison starred for the Tates, the last two making touchdowns while Kuhar and Smith featured for the Tommies. The stock selling campaign of the Tate Baseball Co. is proceeding space and reports from the management are that our baseball loving populace is rulling nicely to their support. Several large debts have to be met in the next three, or four weeks. "In season and out" we have boosted this enterprise as a great thing for Cleveland and Pres. Geo. J.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Upwards of 12,000 persons saw the football game between Lincoln and Howard, at Nat'l. Park, last Thursday. Lincoln won by the score of 13 to 7, the result being somewhat of a surprise. The Howard eleven had practically been invincible all the season.

After the Tates had rushed the ball for three touchdowns, Halfback Cousins of the visitors provided the thrill of the game by twisting through the Chagrin line and secondary defense for forty yards and the final score of the game. League Meeting in January League meeting in January. Latest reports from Chicago are that the annual meeting of our National Baseball league will be held the first week in January. Pittsburg, Detroit and -Cleveland will be considered, with chances favoring the last two, for the "talk-fest." It is reliably reported that the Columbus franchise will be transferred to Cincinnati and that Chas. Mills of St. Louis will be let out of the league. A number say, this move is the result of the dislike of a "certain big gun" for Mills because of his independence. It would be a mistake for the league to allow three clubs to be under the same direction. We trust that the fair-minded magnates will stand squarely against any move that is not right and just-to every one. Lynched for Writing Note LITTLE ROCK, ARK.—According to information received, Robert Hickage 25, was lynched, last Wednesday, beside the public highway, four miles southeast of Lake village, because of a note he wrote to a young woman (white). Ku Kluxers Stage Parade ABILENE, TEX.—With the town plunged in darkness relieved only by the glow of a flaming cross, Abilene citizens, Thursday night, witnessed the first parade of Ku Klux Klanmen in west Texas. Several hundred white-robed figures filed silently through long lanes of equally silent spectators. Ohio Ky Kluxerg CINCINNATI, O.-The local Ku Kluxers sent a formal request to Chief of Police Copeland, Saturday, asking permission to rid the county of auto bandits and highwaymen. The Klan proposes to man motor cars with armed Klansmen. Indeed! Of the Ward Eleven Battle The County and Police Prosecutors Refused to be "Used." The amusing, "child-like" efforts of City Hall politicians, "Starlight" Boyd, Councilman and Mrs. Tom Fleming, last week Tuesday and Wednesday and the week previous, to clamp the lid on certain efforts they and many others are very apprehensive of, and properly so, by alleging to be greatly piqued by the criticisms of the miserable moral and living conditions in ward 11 made during the recent campaign, FELL FLAT! "The efforts of Tom and "Star" and Mrs. Fleming to make the criticisms appear personal were certainly laughable in the extreme. Only two of the more than fifteen "Central Body" women (and one man) "summoned" before County Prosecutor Stanton and Police Prosecutor Navarro, on complaint of "Starlight" Tom and Mrs. Fleming, who claimed to the women were slandering them, or unlawfully criticising them, responded to the cities to call. Stanton and Navarro, after finding there was no more basis for the "kicks" than was contained in a political handbill, etc., distributed through the ward during the campaign, called the "procedures" off, with the result that the "laugh" is on "Star" Tom and Lethia until something more serious happens in connection with Ward 11 doings on election day, Nov. 8, 21. The two "Central Body" women who went to Novarro, last Wednesday, were Mrs. Fanny J. Harris and Mrs. Dr. O. A. Taylor who was not "quizzed" by "Star," as personally reported in the daily paper, who did "hand" Navarro an answer to the race. After these ladies had also talked plainly to the assistant police prosecutor, telling him he had no authority to summon the ladies as he had, and much more, Navarro said: "I'll have nothing more to do with the matter." County Prosecutor Stanton, whose aid Tom had invoked for his wife, Lethia, had already said, the day before (Tuesday): "There is nothing more I can do." This, when the two persons he had sent letters to failed to respond to his invitation to call. Thus closed the second stage of the war which started on election day between the backers of the Hon. Harry C. Smith and Tom Fleming, councilman candidates in war." It began when charges were repeatedly made that the city hall machine was out to defeat Mr. Smith and many affidavits were procured from persons who swear unfair and illegal tactics were used in the election booths. H. C. S. Brickbats and Bouquets. Among the recent current events in the Central Ave. district was the murder of Patrolman Frank J. Koran of the E. 37th St. station by hold-up men, on Orange Ave., near E. 40th St.; a woman seriously stabbed, Thanksgiving night, on E. 38th St., between Central and Scovill; another woman shot on E. 34th St., between 'Central and' Scovill Aves, and a couple of young men sent to the state reformatory for pocketbook snatching—all in 24 hours. Such laxlessness is abhorrent to all good people. What manner of folk are they who preach that the Central Ave. district is "good enough" or that its reputation can be "blackened"? We have long noticed that there is a surprising amount of ignorance among some of the folk who claim to be 100 per cent. Clevelanders, but when a person, white or colored, native born and honored by official preference in the local government can have an acquaintance with reckless joy riders, sufficient to nolle any attempts to haul any number of them into court, and then does not know of Miss Jane Hunter and the Philli Wheatley Home, he or she is entitled to the star-embossed booby-cap with the daffydill emboider. The third assistant is now entitled to adorn the boniest section of his anatomy with the same 'until the star actor learns a newer stunt. The vicinity of Webster Ave. which happens to be the first street south of Central Ave. beginning at E. 9th St., was formerly populated by many of the best families among our older settlers but when the octopus appeared, to save their children many of them moved further east (but the dog-gone thing seems to have drifted east, too) some beyond the reach of the "varmint." But merciful God! pity the host of boys and girls who were and are en- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS (Special to The Gazette.) JERSEY CITY, N. J. —The entire country watched the campaign in Virginia, this year. A white Republican tried to divide the south in this election and he expected to accomplish this fact by saying Virginia that the Republican party is no longer a Negro party but any man's party. We have very little sympathy with this cajoling of white southern Democrats. If the South is so foolish as to vote blindly the Democratic ticket, against its own interest, it should be left in darkness until enough common sense enters its cranium. The South's remaining true to the Democratic party in that section is due. to the fact that the party there stands for the denial of the rights and privileges of colored men and women. The South, has not scrupled at any lawlessness to accomplish the political annihilation of the colored citizen and voter. A Republican party, built in that section upon the same basis, cannot prove any more acceptable than has the Democratic party to be it understood at any lawlessness to accomplish the political annihilation of the colored citizen and voter. A white man's party, whether Democratic or political netizen. A white man's party, whether Democratic or political netizen. A white man's party in politics in nothing more than a Ku Klux political organization than a Ku Klux political organization is equivalent to saying to the world that the Republican party has also forsaken the constitution and is now resorting to subterfuges and violence, as has been done for fifty years by the Democratic party. Negroes have not been wise in their political activities in the South. Out of politics, Negroes have gotten only a few federal jobs for a few colored men, while the great boon of citizenship rights has never been sought for colored political leaders. The intelligent colored man, who was independent of politics, has had absolutely no chance to lead and make a manly fight for his race. We regret to acknowledge, but it is true that politics has existed in the South to send a few men to National conventions and get tainted money that purchased votes. Colored men all over the South have vied with each other in going to National Conventions for personal gain. The race has suffered more from the sale of votes in National conventions than from any one thing in our political history. White men and black men of the Republican party meshed in the tentacles of the vile creature. Good people, do not blind yourselves to the fact that the future of the race depends on its young. You fathers and mothers who are sufferers for reason of the system, offer up your sorrows that others might assist in the redemption of those who are not yet lost. The Phillis Wheatley home is supported and maintained by public-spirited citizens of Cleveland who are sincere in their desire for the uplift, of our girls. Service in the dining room is for members of the association only. Mrs. A. D. Boyd was recently denied service in the Phillis Wheatley dining room and her husband, "Starlight". Boyd's check was returned to him, it is said. Miss Jane Hunter was cited to appear before Police Prosecutor Novario, last week, on the complaint of "Starlight." Good Lord! PRESS AND PULPIT GET TOGETHER! That the press and the pulpit are the two most powerful agencies for the promotion of the public wealth goes without saying. Among the whites the press is the most powerful agency for the propagation of any kind of propaganda or the promotion of any cause, whether it is religious, economic, industrial or political. Among the Negroes, next to the race press, the pulpit is the most powerful single instrumentality for publicity and the education of the people. So far as the race is concerned, no greater earthly blessing could come to it than for the press and the pulpit to get together and co-operate as two co-ordinate branches for the general uplift and education of the people. The Negro preacher is the most powerful individual factor for good or evil among our people. If he could ever be made to understand 'his', influence and what a powerful agency the race press would be with him, not only in the uplift of humanity, but in the preaching of the gospel, he would at once put forth his far-reaching-influence to co-operate with the press. —The Independent, Atlanta, Ga.

Decent voters, white and black, should put an end to the rule of such men. A Negro's vote has a right to be cast and counted everywhere. The South Rev. Wm. A. Byrd. should know now that, politically and constitutionally, its white citizens are on equality with its colored citizens. Both races have politically the same and equal rights. To violate this principle is to undermine the constitution of the country. It is our opinion however that intelligence should rule and lead in the affairs of government. The intelligent colored people of the South should recognize this principle and by co-operation join with the white race in getting for the South a safe and just government. Honest, fair, minded white men should call into their councils, the most capable and intelligent colored men and women and there lay plains in politics to give all races their rights in the South, reserving the best of both races to rule and fill offices. Negroes of the South should attempt to bring this about. Negroes of the South should follow wise and honest men of their own race and other races. The ignorant and unsuperulous intelligent leaders should be put out of business. If the South is to be normal, it must come through the reign of honest, intelligent and law-abiding men and women who will use the government not for their own advantage but for the good of the entire country. We are opposed to any white man or black man's party. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd Mayors Davis and FitzGerald "Round Up" Methods Resumed in the Central Ave. District --- Mayor FitzGerald and Chief Smith's "crime round-up," which has overcrowded the city prison and Warrensville workhouse with unfortunate derelicts, and yet failed to bring about the arrest of a single suspect in any of the three murders committed by thugs in the last five days, was criticized as a failure by Welfare Director Blossom, Wednesday. The director first showed his disapproval of the police methods by releasing twenty-five of the hundreds of vagrants sent to the workhouse in the last three days, and then by voicing his opinion that the "round-up" was utterly useless in ridding Cleveland of the lawless element. "Honest men are being arrested without cause." Blossom declared, "Men who should never see the inside of a fall are being herded into the workhouse like cattle without a chance to vindicate themselves. They are caught in the police draget anywhere and everywhere, thrown in jail, hauled into court by the dozens and sentenced without a chance to speak for themselves. The police make no attempt to separate them. The old and the young, the guilty and the innocent, are treated alike. The majority of these men have never been convicted of a crime. They are out of work, without funds, without influence and they are made the victims of a useless police war to rid the city of crime. Surely to be without money and jobless in these days is not a crime." The twenty-five releases were ordered by Blossom after he made a tour of inspection through the workhouse. He said two of the men he ordered paroled were ex-service men who were out of work and making their home at the American Legion barracks. The others were unemployed and almost penniless, but had prospects of obtaining work. --- the GAZETTE ?UBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES in Advance) One Year veecceceeeeesee es -$2.00 Six Months ......----0+++++++ 1.00 ‘Three Months ....-+-+--+s0+++ 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoflice money order or reg- istered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleve- land, Ohio, as second-class ‘mail matter, Address all communications to HARRY C.

We try to encourage American capital to de- velop oil wells in Mexico, build rail- ways in South America, and open mines in Bolivia. We like to have American capital develop the foreign industries upon which we depend for part of our necessary’ supplies. We profit rather than lose by the use of American capital in the production of coffee, for example, But it would be a misfortune if American capital should be invested in the erection of factories in China in order to pro- duce goods for sale in the United States to the destruction of Ameri- can industry, Yet this is the tend- eney, and it can be forestalled only by the imposition of import duties which shall equal the differences. in cost of production. If, for instance, a factory could produce a commodity here at a cost of $100 but by trans- ferring its factory to China could pro- duce thé same commodity and lay it down in American markets at a cost of $75, there should be imposed an import tax equal to the difference. ‘This the importer could pay and still be on an equality with the American factory If such an import tax be not levied, there would be injustice to the American manufacturer, who pays taxes to support the local, state and national governments and thelr public improvements. Without the imposition of an import tax in a case such as that mentioned, the manufac- turer who sent his money to China to be utilized in production: there, would realize a $25 profit on a $75 transaction without ever having to meet the competition of the Amer- ican producer. The injustice would be done not pnly to the owner of an American factory but all the em- ployees who would draw wages from ‘the operation of his plant. ADOBE FOR BUILDING.

Its old walls, chipped and marr~a by sishtsecrs and by time; yet still supported by the original crest cedar beams, could tell of stories unknown 9 history.

He was educated in the public schools of Summersters, Pa., and is survived by his wife, Mrs. Georgia Smith; mother, Mrs. Felicia Parker; sister, Mrs. Grace Boston; and a brother, Mr. Abram Smith, of this city. Funeral services were held at his brother's residence, 2325 E. 49th St., Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. W. Robinson of Pittsburg. Interment in Lakeview cemetery.

Ward 11, Central Body ladies have given two very successful house-parties, one last Friday evening at Mrs. Kirkendall's, Scovill Ave., the other at Mrs. Springer's, Central Ave., Tuesday evening. Exceeonally enjoyable evenings were spent and both affairs were perfect successes. J. L. Jones made a telling speech at the Saunders hotel meeting, last Friday evening, promoted by J. A. Carter, which broke it up, it is said. The speeches of several white persons in attendance seemed to indicate their desire to boost some candidate for office, next year. The meeting had nothing of interest for the Central Body which had nothing to do with its inception. Others who spoke were: M. Kahn, J. R. Hinchliffe, S. E. Woods and Eugene R. Brown who threw another bomb in the meeting. Mayor-elect Kohler promised the Ministers' Conference in Gethsemeh Baptist church, £. 30th St. and Scovill Ave., two weeks before election that, if he was elected, "Starlight" would have to "do business out of the city." "Boss" Maschke cannot help "Star" either, this time, as he, too, is persona non grata with the mayor-elect. They "fell out" when the former tried to force Kohler out of the race, several months ago. Syd. Thompson, Fulton, Steve Ball and all will go, too. All persons in the city who have knowledge of illegal voting in ward 11 on election day, Nov. 8, '21, or residents of that ward whose ballots were not promptly deposited in the ballot-box or were opened and read, or who were not permitted to vote, or who were in any manner shown discourtesy, or who saw any irregularities at the polls on Nov. 8, 21, are requested to notify or come to The Gazette office, 'phone Cherry 1259, 215 Blackstone Bldg., S. W., cor. W. Third St. and Frankfort Ave. just as soon as possible between the hours of 3 and 6:30 p. m., and their complaints will be heard and properly attended to. Mrs. Pleasant died at the city infirmary, Nov. 5. On request the body was turned over to Mrs. M. Randolph for burial. Mrs. Pleasant carried a small insurance book, and she Congressional gave $50 toward the funeral expenses. Rev. H. K. Kenney preached a fine sermon. Slaughter Bros., undertakers, were in charge of the funeral. The defeat of Mayor Wm. S. FitzGerald of this city, at the recent election, means that right after the first of the year "Boss" Maschke's power in local politics will be gone for at least two years and with it, thank the Lord, the political domination (in ward 11 of this city) of "Starlight" Boyd. At that time the latter's two sons, Syd Thompson and their kind will also "walk the plank." So the good people of ward 11 have only to eliminate "Tom" to fill their cup to overflowing and have everything they started out to get about six weeks ago. This is still possible, too, we feel sure. Let us work slowly, carefully, patiently and well. Must Have "The Old Reliable" Colorado Springs, Colo. Nov. 25, '21. Editor The Gazette.

IS IT OF ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? 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 '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 prescriptions 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 in our race discrimination may continue. To submit is to reserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Workers Under 16 Barred.

It also suggests standards of mental development and sound health and fitness for special occupations, and an outline of defects which should permanently or temporarily bar children.

BLUE LAWS OF COLONIAL DAYS IOWA FAMILY STILL PRESERVES OLD-TIME CODE Penalties Provided for Swearing and Sunday Drinking—Death for Horse Stealing. Council Bluffs, Iowa.—Among the archives of the D. W. Keller family, one of the pioneer families of this city, is the complete codification of the laws of New Jersey from the surrender of the old colony to "Queen Anne on the 17th day of April, in the year of our Lord 1702, to the 14th day of January, 1776," according to the title page. It embraces all of the laws and royal ordinances for seventy-four years, and the book is not as bulky as the compiled ordinances of the City of Council Bluffs. The compiler, Samuel Allison, remarks in his preface, "a few good laws, well understood and executed, must be a happiness to a people, and are much to be preferred to a large code, which by their very number become intricate or soon forgotten, and, of consequence, are often violated. "Legislation is the greatest act of superiority that can be exercised by one being over another, and how few can be supposed to be qualified for such a momentous task?" The old volume, bearing the marks of its nearly 150 years, but sturdy as a piece of granite, contains about all of the old blue laws of the Puritan colonists, as well as all of the statutes found necessary to be enacted from the second year of the reign of Queen Anne on thru the kingships of George I, George II. and George III., beginning when the capital of New Jersey was located at Perth Amboy and later at Burlington. A law passed at the first session of the General Assembly at Burlington, Dec. 12, 1704, begins with the declaration that: "Whereas, profaneness and immorality have too much abounded in this province, to the shame of Christianity and the great grief of all good and sober men," a prohibition law is enacted prohibiting "cursing, swearing or breaking the Lord's day." The penalty of Sunday violation is a fine of "six shilling or four hours" confinement in the stocks," half the amount for "cursing" and a shade less for plain swearing. For getting drunk six hours in the stocks was the penalty. A special section regulates drinking, but only on Sundays, and says that if "any public-house keeper permits any person to tipple or drink in his house on the Lord's day, especially in the time of divine worship" the hotel man was cinched for a six-shilling fine. The old boys fixed it all right for the favored few by inserting the clause, "except for refreshment," making it certain that it would not be bone dry. But they wouldn't stand for a red light district, and both men and women who were caught were given the option of paying thirty pounds or being "whipped at three several courts, and each time they shall receive thirty lashes on the bare back at each of the several courts." They commenced to get rid of the harsh laws half a century later, for on December 6, 1769, the Assembly repealed the death penalty, for petty thieving, but directed that it should be "lawful to pronounce the death sentence upon any person convicted of the atrocious crime of horse stealing." The greater part of the time of the legislatures seems to have been devoted to repealing laws, for at the end of the sixty-four years an index of three pages named all of the laws in force. The old volume came down to the Keller family thru Mrs. Keller, who was a Sellard, a name that appears several times in colonial documents. It has descended directly from one generation to another. A "SOLAR" COOKER. Heats Oven Sufficiently For Cooking When Sun Shines WASHINGTON, D. C.—The lists of the numerous devices that have been produced to concentrate and utilize the sun's heat is a "solar cooker" that is being developed by scientists at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Mirrors arranged about a half-cylinder of iron concentrate the sun's rays on a metal tube that coin cides with the axis of the half-cylinder. Oil in the tube is thus heated and made to circulate through it and a loop to which it is connected. The loop which passes through an oven heats it sufficiently for cooking when the sun shines. WHAT CLASSIFICATION? Curious Citizenship Status of Marine Corps Recruit. TULSA, Okla.—One of the most completely international personages we have heard of, so far as lineage, nativity and up-bringing are concerned, is a man named Minette who was accepted for enlistment in the U. S. marine corps here, not long ago. According to Minette's record of himself, his mother was an American woman who married his father, a Frenchman, in Italy. He was born aboard ship, under Spanish colors, in the English channel. When the boy was five years old, both parents died in Sweden. Then a German adopted him and later brought him to America to live. The foster father was never naturalized as a citizen of the United States. The constitution of the United States provides that to be a citizen of the United States one must have been born or naturalized therein and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. Obviously therefore, Minette is not an American citizen unless he has been naturalized. If he is not an American, to what country does he owe allegiance? His enlistment shows what his preference is and his military service will facilitate his becoming a citizen. LEADING INDUSTRIES. After Agriculture, Meat Packing Industry Heads the List. In the order of the gross value of their products, the five leading industries of the United States are as follows: 1. Slaughtering and meat packing. 2. Iron and steel, steel works and rolling mills. 3. Flour-mill and grist-mill products. 4. Foundry and machine-shop products. 5. Lumber and timber products. Of these industries, that of lumber and timber products employs the largest number of men. Industry here is taken in the sense of manufactures. The product of the farms amounts to about ten times as much as the largest named above, but the total value of manufactured products is about double that of farm products. HUMANITARIANISM FAILS. League's Officers, All Trusties, Escape and Disrupt Organization. NEW YORK—The Mutual Welfare League, originated by Thomas Mott Osborne in the old Sing Sing prison (now Ossining) and less successfully imitated in other prisons, has failed of its purpose and been abolished in most penitentiaries. At Ossining not long ago, the officers of the league, all trusties, escaped, leaving the prison inmates disorganized. Failure of the plan has been attributed to the belief that men in prison could never direct other men when they were unsuccessful in controlling themselves. It is claimed that a better system of discipline must be devised before reformists can hope for much improvement in uplifting the prisoner. QUALIFIES AS CITIZEN. Born Within Three-Mile Zone After Exciting Chase. NEW YORK—By the space of several minutes, a child born aboard the Scandinavian American liner, Oscar II, has qualified as an American citizen. Mrs. Olav Danielsen gave birth to a son son early in the day just as the steamer had passed the three-mile limit. The captain had been informed of the impending birth and had put on all speed possible to win for the child the privileges that accrue to an American citizen. The child was christened Oscar II and a purse of $200 was collected for him from the passengers. The steamship company booked the young American for a free round-trip whenever he was minded to take an ocean voyage. Splinter Saves Steeplejack. BOSTON.-While at work painting a tall flagpole a steeplejack slipped and plunged earthward. A splinter about midway of the pole caught in the seat of his trousers and held him head downward. There he hung for several minutes, wildly gesticulating his legs wrapped in a desperate grip about the pole, while he shouted at the top of his voice for help. A fireman finally managed to get him to terra firma unhurt. Motorist Attacked by Bees. RUSTBURG, Va.-J. O. Merryman accidentally backed his auto into a rack filled with hives containing bees. The infuriated insects swarmed out and stung him into unconsciousness. Rescuers finally got him away by throwing a blanket over him and using sulphur fumes to subdue the insects.

Young Army Deserter Treated Considerably by Military Authorities. ADELPHI, Ohio.—Having stolen away from the army in 1918 to visit his family, Carl Amerine of Hocking county, Ohio, was afraid to return and spent nearly two years hidden in a cave where he was fed by his wife, the only person he did not fear. He was finally persuaded to give himself up to the military authorities, and after an investigation of his case he received an honorable discharge and $110 back pay. There is pathos in Amerine's story. He was born in a log hut in one of the greatest forests in the state, the nearest place of any size being the little town of Adelphil, 15 miles away. His mother died when he was a child, and his father was the only person he saw for long stretches of time. He went for a very short period to a litte country school, but before he had learned to read or write he was taken out to work on the small farm. He was married when only 20 years of age. When the war came on he was summoned from his little isolated cabin in the hills before the draft board and was sent to Camp Sherman. The new life and the association with so many persons bewildered him. He was timid and backward and unable to make friends. After a few weeks in the camp he became so melancholy and homesick that he slipped away to visit his family. Aquaintances learned of what he had done and told him that he would be shot as a deserter. That danger impressed him all the more since he knew the story of a man of the neighborhood who had been shot for the same offense in the Civil war, in which his father had also fought. Afraid to Return to the cann. Amirine stole away to a secluded cave. Here his wife brought him food every day except when she sheared that she was watched. Sometimes several days would pass without a visit from her, during which time Amirine would have to live on fruit, berries and such animals as he could trap. During the winters he had nothing but his tattered clothes and one thin blanket to keep him warm. He suffered greatly from the cold. Finally a kind-hearted attorney, F. N. Redfern, at Adelphia, heard of Amirine's predicament and interested himself in his case. He went to see the deserter, assured him that he would not be shot, and persuaded him to give himself up to the military authorities. When his case was settled, Carl expressed regret at running away but very deep satisfaction in the fact that it was all over. TEASPOON STANDARDIZED. Housewife Will Be Able to Determine Definite Quantities. WASHINGTON, D.C.—Owing to the great variation in sizes of teaspoons, which make it possible to measure anywhere from 126 to 150 teaspoons of baking powder or other cooking ingredients from the same one-pound can, the bureau of standards has decreed that the theoretical capacity of a teaspoon shall be five cubic centimeters, when filled "level" and not "heaping." Tests showed differences due to individual manipulation of measurement ranging from 10 to 30 per cent. With the standardized teaspoon the housewife will be able to count on a definite number of level teaspoonsful to the pound. Horse Gets Insurance Money, KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—H. K. Thurman, a Tennessee soldier who died in action overseas, named his 15-year-old Kniplow, the best man for the $10,000 insurance policy he carried. Kniplow is now a favorite mount of the state guard at Buffalo, N. Y. 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. 6278.

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 upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (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 6252. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county ir 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 survive him, until such children shall be applied to the maintenance 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 surviving children, and the 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. (98 v 162. 6) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come before a judge, and he will be 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, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commission 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 and be appointed 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 against the person responsible for the detentives 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 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 representative of victim of lynching.ury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. 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 five 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 our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry 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. Very truly yours, C. R. Grant.
