Score, 22 to 10. The Joels composed mostly of Jewish boys, have a good team and were accompanied by half-a-hundred fair followers who certainly knew how to root. On the Acme side Eddie Cowan, center, was in fine form and mixed in every play, Johns, right forward, showed like a bright star by making seven baskets out of nine. Reed and Dougherty also were in wonderful form. For the Joels, Johns, right light, a preliminary to the big game, the Tokalson won out from the Alliance five in a good game, score 24 to 19. Several times Bill Askins' boys were in the rear but, led by Mitchell and Dixon, they refused to stay there. A crowd of three and four hundred saw the games. Fears' Giants Again. Fears Giants Again.

TATE WINS ON A FOUL PORTLAND, Ore.—Bill Tate, of APORTLAND, won the clutch in clinion in the first round of its eight with Harry. Wilms of New Orleans ATE SEA Eddie Cowan --- ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since at the "Milwaukee" arena here. Monday. They were in a clinch when the referee attempted to separate them and as they broke Wills let go a terrific blow to the jaw which sent Tate to the floor. Immediately the crowd set up a cry of "foul," and the referee upheld the popular cry. Tate and Wills Meet This Friday, PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 3. Dill Tate and Harry Wills, heavyweights, fight a ten-round bout, the "Milwaukee" boxing commission, announced today after considering the outcome of the match yesterday in which Tate was awarded a decision in the first round on account of a foul.

Says Secretary of War Weeks Who Takes the Southern Whites' View. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Our people throughout the country are up in arms against the opposition furnished by the War Department to granting clemency to the sixty-three former members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, who are, in prison on a charge of participating in the Houston riots of August, 1917, because they tried to protect themselves against a mob of war brutes. The motion of the War Secretary was made public when Secretary Weeks wrote to Chairman Kahn of the House military committee. "The only reason clemency has not been extended and is not now recommended." Weeks stated, "is that on account of the offenses of which these men clearly were guilty, they are not entitled to such clemency." Secretary Weeks then reported that fifty-eight of the 110 men convicted of participating in the riots were serving life sentences, while five others were in prison, serving for fifteen years each. Of the remainder, nineteen were executed, six have died in confinement and the rest either have served out their terms or have been granted clemency. The resolution, introduced by Representative Anthony, Republican, of Kansas, recalled the famous cases of 1917, and it was believed that a close investigation into the War Department records would place a new light on the alleged basty and summary conviction of the war crimes for the purpose of determining whether or not the men were convicted on circumstantial evidence, and if so, how far fetched. BISHOP JOSHUA H. JONES'SON Writes Text Book in German Masterpiece of Psychological Research. WILBERFORCE, O.—Dr. Gilbert H. Jones, dean of the Liberal Arts College of Wilberforce University, is the author of a book used in Harvard, and sought by other leading American universities. He holds a doctor's degree from the University of Jena, Germany, and his book, a thesis written at his graduation, is considered a masterpiece of psychological research. The work, originally written in German, was, at first used by the university of continental Europe. It finally worked its way to the universities of America, and there is a copy of it in the Harvard library that may not be taken out. Boston University is one of the institutions seeking to use Dr. Jones' book as well as translate it. In writing, the university expressed appreciation of its depth and scope. It is a monogram of 140 pages, written as Dr. Jones' graduation thesis. It is a treatise on the work of Lotz and Browne, two great philosophers, and is now the recognized authority on those masters. Dr. Jones is one of the few Americans and the only Afro-American to receive the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from a foreign university. He is the author of several other textbooks. MORE GEORGIA KILLINGS. ATHENS. Ga.—Federal investigations into the killings that were staged in Oconee County, last month, has been started and thru the joint efforts of the county officials and the federal authorities, it is believed that the persons guilty of the law violations will be brought to justice. Since the investigation was begun, Judge Walter C. Cornett, U. S. deputy in Athens, has received several anonymous communications warning him to discontinue the federal investigation. These letters have been traced, according to Judge Cornett, and the persons responsible will be brought to trial. The Oconee officials who are working with the figure of the gang which is said to be responsible for the disorder and killings that country, and incidentally who are charged with selfing illicit liquor, have been in communication with Judge Blanton Fortson, of the superior court, who will aid in the government investigation by calling a special grand jury at the proper time. SOUTHERN "SOCIAL EQUALITY" That Led Girl and White Male Companion to Their Death A Crisfield, Md.—What was Miss Mamie Sterling, age 21, doing in a Ford Sedan with Vm. Wm. Ward, the age 40? This is the motion that is agitating the minds of a number of Crisfield people of both races. The couple were caught like rats in a trap when the closed automobile in which they were riding plunged through the open draw in the Jersey Bridge carrying them to a tragic death in Crisfield harbor on a recent Thursday night. The bridge was open about (twelve feet in order to allow a vessel to pass through). Albert Whittington, (white), who was standing on the bridge, saw the automobile coming, shouted and waved in an effort to stop them. Ward paid no attention to him, but instead increased the speed of the car to twenty miles per hour. The car and its occupants plunged through the open span into the car. The vehicle which kly gathered, used boat-books and anchors to pull the car to the surface. The windshield was broken to get Miss Sterling and Ward out. The victims tried to get the doors of the machine open, judging from the position of the bodies when found, but water rushed in from the bottom and sides so rapidly that death by drowning came quickly. MAJOR LOVING PRAISEDJ Resumes Charge of Philippine Constabulary Band—It Won Distinction at St. Louis World's Fair. MANILLA. P. I. Viscount Northcliffe, England's leading newspaper publisher and editor, was so pleased with the playing of the local constabulary band, whose fame had reached him in England, that he sent a letter to General Crane, saying: "Before leaving Manilla, I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my opinion of your magnificent band. I had heard of it and I had little thought that I should be honored by its greeting on my arrival, Major Loving (Afro-American) had the band at the pier. To play British and American national air bands, me, you must forget your arsenal in assembling your instrumentalists for me and the great pleasure I received from their welcome." Viscount Northlife thanked Major Loving personally when he reached the pier. Transmitting his letter, R. A. Duckworth-Ford, correspondent of the London Times, says: "Lord Northlife repeatedly referred to the band as one of the most wonderful priests and friends anywhere. You may perhaps be interested to know that the fame of the band has been heralded to all corners of the earth, through cable messages that have been dispatches during the past three years." Major Loving is a former U. S. a. handmaster and military intelligence officer. The band will be remembered from the wonderful impression it made at the St. Louis Exposition, and nationwide, too, proposed trip to the Herting Imagery Museum. By President Wilson Loving brought 500 new instruments to Manila from the U. S. when he resumed charge of the band.

NEW YORK CITY.—Albert Walcott, 131 W. 133d St. is employed by T. Hogan & Sons, stevedores 1120 Broadway. On Nov. 30, just as the White Star Liner, Adriatic, was about to sail, with Admiral Beauty Britain's naval idol on board, a heaving line became entangled about the arm of Ernest Williams (white) and he was dragged overboard. The propellers had churned the slip into a veritable whirlpool and Williams still entangled in the hand-line, was being whirled about the vortex. Time and again he was sucked under, Walcott said: "I saw the predicament of the man and without pulling off my coat, plunged in after him. The white linemen shore, instead of trying to saepe with him, 'the were only playing with him, when he'd become entangled and go under. Fortunately I had no difficulty in getting to him, and was glad to be able to rescue him." As Walcott untangled the line from Williams, body and swam to him and plotted him to a nearby log, a rear of cheers ran up from the spectators on board the Adriatic Admiral Beauty being one of them. Walcott, who hails from Barbados, was awarded a 14 carat gold medal by his employers. T. Hogan and Son, and will also receive the coveted award of the Carnegie Foundation.

HALE HOSPITAL Something of Its Wonderful Growth and Subtle Work Nashville, Tenn. Mille E. Hale hospital of the city graduated five nurses, Nov. 29, 21; Lena Hill, Athens, Ga.; Gerritt and Elizabeth Porter, Whitlock, Tenn.; Madalene Pries, Degustar, Ma.; and Portheus Reed, Athens, Ma. Mrs Hale secured each a position here. Three were retained at the hospital on behalf of Hubbard hospital and the other at the City Clinic Health building. This institution was founded five years ago by the lady whose name it bears, starting with 12 beds. It now has 100, with all modern conveniences. Since its inception 2,000 patients have been cared for, with a mortality of less than 3 per cent. Twenty-five of our young women are training in the nurses' department. Mrs. Mille E. Hale, founder, is a graduate of Fisk university, a graduate nurse, and passed the state board examination with honors. Dr. John Hale, her husband, is a graduate of Walden university and Mehray Medical College and serves as professor of clinical medicine and surgery at Mehray.

ATLANTA, Ga.—One of the side-lights on the release of Engene V Debs, socialist leader, from the federal penitentiary here was his act of kissing Sam Moore, a member of the race, serving a life sentence for murder. He killed a man in prison and has served thirty years. Until Debs came he was incorrigible. Debs made him think himself a man. Warden Dyche asked Debs if he had anything to ask on his last day in jail. "I want to see Sam Moore," said Debs. Moore was brought out into the corridor. Debs threw his arms about Sam and Sam nearly collapsed. He recovered himself and Debs kissed him. Sam wept and they shook hands. Debs then said: "If I never do another thing, I'm going to fight for one more chance for Sam Moore."

This tradition about the richness and nobility of southern blood which is so sedulously fostered in the South is nothing more than a fiction. In fact we know of no group of white men anywhere on the face of the earth who have less to be proud of than the white men of the South. They have contributed less diligently than none less for humanity in general to the longer standard of law and order than any group of white men in any white country that can be pointed out today. To our mind the vaunted "hot southern blood" is made up of one-third bad manners, one-third bunk and the other third of the spirit of lynch. N. Y. Daily World. Gilpin's Play Hurts!

JANUARY 7, 1922 L. H. Brown, pastor of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church of this city, should be removed before the church loses all of its membership. Move him, Bishop Phillips! Some of our contemporaries were misled, recently, into publishing Cleveland, O. letters which referred to "Starlight" Boyd (deceased) as an eminently respectable individual. Lord, have mercy! Party lines have been cast aside in the Senate on the Four-power Treaty. Republicans and Democrats alike recognize in it an opportunity for the United States to gain much and surrender nothing. Judging by his message, President Harding does not take kindly to the suggestion of internationalists that the best way to build up our industries is to buy more abroad. This race of ours must rid itself of such alleged "leaders" as Judge "Whiskey-head," Dr. "Crooked," Rev. "Woman-chaser," Prof. "Sellus-out," Hon. "Professional Politician," and the rest of that kidney, if it expects to make substantial progress in the near future. And there has hardly ever been a time when real progress was needed more than at the present time. --- "The Associated Negro Press" is wrong in its statement that "Cleveland now has a Colored branch Y. M. C. A." We wish all of our contemporaries to publish this fact. The "editor of the Associated Negro Press," some years ago when a resident of Cleveland, tried to establish a "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. in this city (that he might be secretary of it) and failed because the leading men and women of color of this city would have none of it. They have NOT changed their views on the matter in the least. Our conferes will please note this fact. Editor Phil H. Dabney of the Cincinnati Union is still battling with the misguided element in that city that would saddle "jim crow" "public" schools on our people of Cincinnati in order that a few positions as teachers can be gained, and has our heartfelt sympathy. It is a most miserable position for a good man of the race, like Editor Dabney, to be placed in. Some selfish "jim crow" Negroes would "gut" the entire race in order to get a job for themselves or others or serve some other selfish purpose. Lord, have mercy! TAKE 'EM WITH SALT "It would be better to rejoice over things accomplished than to dwell on differing views which can be of no great consequence," declares President Harding in referring to the rumors that he and the American delegates are in disagreement on the interpretation of the Four-power treaty. That is the view taken by all sensible citizens. Space writers stationed at Washington do not hesitate to magnify for news purposes every fancied obstacle to complete success of the conference, but their effusions ought to be discounted on the ground of professional necessity. JUSTICE TEMPERED WITH MERCY. The pardon granted to Eugene V. Debs and a few other men who had been convicted of crimes in connection with the war, is an altogether different matter from the general amnesty which some socialists, or worse, had been asking. These pardoned men had been apprehended, had been indicted, had been convict- ed before a jury of their peers after a fair trial, and had served a portion of their sentences. The supremacy of the law had been maintained; the right of the people through their government to have their will respected had been upheld. The men found guilty of violating the law and hampering the government in its prosecution of the war had suffered a measure of punishment the adequacy of which must always be a matter of judgment upon which men's minds will differ. President Harding believed that the requirements of justice had been fulfilled. What the I. W. W. element desired and asked for was a general amnesty—a wholesale pardoning of all who had been convicted of what they were pleased to call "political offenses," a pardon in advance to men who had committed offenses but had not yet been apprehended, tried or convicted. They wanted the draft-evaders given assurance that there will be no prosecutions, so that these men who refused to bear their share of the burdens of the war with its suffering and sacrifices might be free to return to their homes and to their former avocations without fear of molestation by the officers of the law. There is no indication that it is the purpose of the prosecuting officers of the Federal government to grant either expressly or by inactivity this desire to release men from liability for acts of omission or commission in violation of the statutes. On the contrary the Department of Justice has recently taken increased interest in the effort to apprehend and prosecute draft-evaders, an accurate list of whom could be obtained only through the co-operation of the War Department and the public as a result of the publication of the names of those who appeared upon the records as having failed to respond when they were called to the colors. In the granting of the Christmas pardons there was not a failure of justice; there was administration of justice tempered with mercy. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who 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." A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right— Not a sacrifice, even though you go down. Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education — in all phases of education. I believe, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the Male kind, the kind, must learn to work out more of his problems along business lines than he has in the past; he must learn as others have learned, that a great deal of the so-called race problems can and must be worked out at six per cent. 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.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 7, 1922 MOONSHINERS 300 YEARS BEHIND Dark Hollow, North Carolina Has Never Given an Inch To Progress. OBEY TEN COMMANDMENTS Think Enforcement of Prohibition Laws an Imposition—Firm Believers in a Hereafter—Man-Made Law Plays No Part in Their Lives. RALEIGH, N. C.—Close to the base of a hog-back peak of the Blue Ridge mountains in North Carolina, and almost continually in its shadow, lies Dark Hollow. As dark in aspect as in name, and—in the nearby resort town it is whispered—in character, this weird little mountain community of four generations of the Campbell family has never given an inch to the advance of progress. Its members live to-day practically as the first settlers on the coast lived three centuries ago. The road, the only thing that connects the Hollow with the outside world, except perhaps the R. F. D. man or the evangelist who visits the little white church every Sunday, seems always deserted. Now and then a silent figure moves along it and into one of the cavernous paths. No one is seen in the fields except early in the morning or just after the sun has gone down. Still, with all this, Dark Hollow, to quote one of those old grizzled mountaineers who leave the mountain solitudes for a few months each year to act as guides, "will be well represented in Heaven if the entrance qualifications are as described in the good book." Man-made law has never played any part in the lives of the Campbells. The Ten Commandments has been their sole guide. The little funereal-faced evangelist and sole dispenser of any disciplinary measures necessary, which are few, explains it this way: "Outside—as all the world outside of their little community is termed—almost every one is a mental law-breaker; that is would be a law-breaker at some time during his life perhaps many times, if he did not fear punishment from the dispensers of your man-made laws. That makes it obvious that such enforcement is needed there. "With my people, it is different. They are firm believers in a hereafter. They trust in God to lead them to it through his teachings as interpreted from the Bible. Occasionally we have a crime here. Punishment is not necessary. The perpetrator lives in a hell on earth, fully believing he is destined for one hereafter. And instead of spending his life within barred walls, he usually spends it trying to make reparation, and becomes a useful and more God-fearing member of our community. "Which all proves that we don't need the outside authorities here. Moonshine? There being none of the commandments that would forbid moonshine distilling, my people think the enforcement of your Federal laws an imposition." Job Campbell, the patriarch, claims to be slightly under "two score" years of age. That is probably because he like most of his people, is illiterate, and it is the only figure which he knows. He is well over eighty, the father of seventeen children, the eldest of whom is a grandmother and the youngest twins, named Odey and Modey, are just past six, though his wife vows she is also over eighty. She is still firm and strong enough to work with her husband in the fields and ride stride a horse to the railroad, nine miles away, every week for supplies. Raising almost everything they need—pork, beef, mutton vegetables and grain—the need very little. Spices, medicines and cloth make up the great part of their purchases. They use very little cash, bartering in their cotton and then crediting their purchases against its value, which is, quite profitable for the storekeeper. They have no need for a doctor, there being among them a wonderful understanding of the use of herbs and massage, not booklearned, but handed down from generation to generation and almost invariably successful. They have practically no knowledge of the conveniences of the outside world, such as piped water, steam heat, telephones, trolley cars, radio, and at one time when a plane happened to fly low over the valley they were in panic and prayed incessantly for many days after until it was explained to them by the ever-solacing evangelist. Young people there are none, which bids fair to bring about extinction to the community in the next generation. It is hard to hold them now, and just as soon as they reach the age where they can make their own way alone they usually prefer to try it on the "brightside." This perhaps is due to the tales told them by the troops who invaded the mountains during the late war to exercise their mighty guns. Many men of the Twenty-seventh Division will recall this place—some for the mellow corn whiskey distilled there, others in recollection of old Job, who didn't know the Civil War was over. When the big guns started booming in the hills he was "tolerable" surprised that the Yanks had again made their way so far South. CRIMINALS' FAMILIES. Warden of Ohio State Penitentiary Favors Law For Their Support. COLUMBUS, O.—Warden Thomas, of the state penitentiary here, is strongly in favor of a law providing that families of criminals receive the proceeds of the criminals' work while a ward of the state. "The State of Ohio has no right," he says, "to punish the families of criminals by depriving them of support by the family head. "Work, religion and education bring about growth in prisoners," he says, "Idleness is a curse. Ignorance is a curse. Folks like to talk about the college graduates in the penitentiary; but they are the exception; ignorance is the rule." HYPNOTISM AND LAW. Leeds Judge's Admission of Trance Evidence, Raises Question. LONDON.-Should evidence obtained by hypnotic means be used in a criminal prosecution? This question has arisen in England as a result of a Leeds judge accepting the testimony of a well-known mental specialist as to a statement made to him by a prisoner while in a trance. Dr. Bernard Hollander, the famous mental specialist, declares himself as emphatically against such a precedent. "There are some things hypnotism cannot do," he says. "My experience has been that a man who has made up his mind not to disclose certain facts cannot be induced to reveal them under hypnotic suggestion. This is proved by the fact that it has never been possible to extract information about secret societies or orders. "There is one way, of course, of doing it, and that is by deceiving a man by suggesting to his sub-conscious mind that you were a confederate in the deed or a witness of it and inducing him to confide in you. But that would be quite inconsistent. "Hypnotism cannot make girls change their lovers. It has been tried but never with success." GERMAN COLONIES. 2,500-Page History to Commemorate German Work. BERLIN—"A Monument to Germany's Lost Colonial Empire," and epitaph to Germany's colonial and pioneer work, is what Governor Henrich Schnee of German East Africa calls a large three-volume German Colonial Encyclopedia which he has compiled. It has just come off the press. The work has about 2,500 pages and is the most complete publication about the German colonies ever attempted. About four score professors, officials, military men, scientists and others aided in the compilation. The work was practically completed, one volume had already been set up, when the war began. The former governor declares in the preface that not a word has been changed as a result of the war, and that while at first it was decided to abandon the project, as Germany no longer had any colonies and therefore there would be little interest in the library, friends insisted upon the work being published as a "monument to German work" and to prove how untrue the assertion that the Germans had no capacity as colonizers. NO PUBLIC KISSING. Spanish Law Bars It In Public By Man and Wife MADRID.—A severe reprimand and a warning not to let the misdemeanor occur again has just been administered to a visitor in Madrid, who, when he assisted his wife into a cab at the door of his hotel on the Puerta del Sol, kissed her good-bye. A policeman on duty close by witnessed the "offense" and remonstrated, threatening to take the man to the police station, whereupon the visitor—a traveler in many lands—smiled and said: "Do your worst. Take me to the station house and we'll see what the punishment is for kissing one's wife." The policeman led him off to face his captain, who, on hearing the nature of the charge, was even more severe than the ordinary policeman. He informed the offender that ignorance of the law was no excuse, but that he had committed a serious of fense against the laws of Madrid, which forbids on him to kiss any woman while on the streets of the city with or without her consent. He, however, let him off with a caution. NOT MEXICO'S CENSOR. United States Cannot Control Conduct Of Americans in Mexico. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Methodist church is conducting a nationwide campaign against the notorious Tia Jua, which is just over the line in Mexico from California. It stigmatizes the little Mexican shack town as "a city of vice, booze and gambling." It declares "it is run by Americans and supported by Americans and it could be closed in two weeks by a change of policy of the American state department." An appeal was made to Secretary of State Colby, but he sent back a stern rebuff. It is no part of the duty of our government to exercise any moral censorship over citizens who may leave the United States in order to do things that are against the laws of their own country but which are permitted by the laws of other countries, he said. English Use Hollow Brick. LONDON.—Hollow brick made of cement and sand by simple hand machinery have lately been introduced in England. They are made hollow to provide air spaces in the walls and to reduce cost and labor. The ends are shaped so as to make close strong joints. The new brick are about five times as large as ordinary brick and as they are relatively light in weight, walls are easily and rapidly laid with them. In laying the ends and bottoms of the brick are simply dipped in a thin mortar of lime and cement; applying mortar in the usual manner would result in stopping up the air spaces. There are seven varieties of the African lion. "MONEY-DIGGING NEW PROFESSION "Live, Interesting and Fairly Remunerative Business," Says One Practitioner. BRIEF, INTERESTING WORK Organize Chambers of Commerce, Secure Funds for Hospitals and Schools, or Raise Money For Any Worthy Object. CHICAGO:—"Money digging" is one of America's newest and most rapidly growing professions. There are in this country to-day about 150 professionally engaged "organization specialists" who will guarantee to get the money for anything from a sewage plant to a National welfare fund. They belong to no party, church or institution. They are a migratory type. And, contrary to the inference expressed by Senator Atteo Pomerane, they are not all "Psalm singers" or Y. M. C. A. men. Most of them are war products. They took part in drives of all kinds, Liberty loan, war camp community, Roosevelt memorial, Inter-Church World Movement and the like. In such campaigns they became highly specialized organizers. "There is nothing like this organization in any country in the world," said Edwin L. Quarles, editor of the Republican party's "Official Bulletin," and himself an organization specialist, "It's a live, interesting and fairly remunerative business. We might be termed community leaders." F. C. Parker, general secretary of the Chicago Y. M. C. A., said the finance raisers get an average salary of from $4,000 to $6,000 a year. One so-called "money digger," however, is earning $600 a week in Chicago raising $000,000 in seven days. He is F. C. Barbour of New York. Barbour is given credit by his co-workers for being a star in his line. An organization is maintained in New York, with a branch office in Chicago, which makes a business of offering community suggestions and furnishing specialties in money raising. If Baltimore, Sloux City, Seattle or any other city wants to build up its Chamber of Commerce, secure funds for a hospital or a school, or raise money for any worthy purpose, the specialists are ready to act. If called in, they study the situation as outsiders. They claim this is an advantage as less attention is paid to demands or coercion from known local leaders. In organizing Chambers of Commerce, they present a plan of organization, write the constitution and bylaws, raise funds to put it on its feet and stay until the officers are elected. Then they collect a comparatively high fee for their brief but intensive work. Every campaign is approached from a definite standpoint, a different method is used in collecting for a church than is used in collecting for a college or a political party. Sometimes the census is taken to obtain the "subscribing ability" of every citizen. The results of a six-weeks intensive campaign, the dividing of a town into school districts, formation of team captains and the like, often shows itself to the public in only three or four days. The idea of the organization specialist, as expressed by Quarles, is to find out what a community wants, "steer" it and then let it do the work. FLOUR MILL IN ALASKA. First One In Territory Will Be Built At Fairbanks. FAIRBANKS, Alaska. — After six years of patient research by government agriculture officials and experimentation with wheat seed from Siberia, Alaska is to have her own four mill, which will be situated here—125 miles south of the Arctic circle. Hertofore she has been wholly dependent on the outside world for bread. Crops that will stand the rigors of Arctic circle climate and fully mature in 90 days, are now being grown. The machinery for the mill is of the latest model and will go by steamer from Seattle to St. Michael, a distance of 2300 miles, thence on barges up the Yukon river 836 miles to the mouth of the Tanana river, thence 270 miles to Fairbanks, a total of 3414 miles. Hunter Bags Big Game. NEW YORK—Stewart Hodge, a famous wild game hunter, returned recently from a hunting expedition in Africa and India, having killed wild animals, the skins of which weigh eight tons. His bag included three elephants, 23 lions, 14 buffaloes, 10 rhinoceroses, three hippopotamuses, 15 tigers, 21 zebras and a number of wild cats, deer, boars and other smaller game. Extinction of Middle Class Predicted. LONDON—The national birth rate commission, in a recent report, predicts that if the middle class don't begin having more children pretty soon they will die out entirely, leaving in the social scale only the wealthy at one end and the laboring classes at the other. Leaders are professing alarm over the condition and various suggestions to stimulate the birth rate are to be examined. "You mustn't become discouraged about your son's practicing. You know, Pagenalin, the great violinist, would practice a whole day on a single bar." "Well, my son, does the same thing, but he doesn't show any improvement that I can notice." "That is strange." "Yes, but I think the trouble is he picks out a bar made up entirely of rests on which to practice." JACOB SCHNE BAKERY Fresh Rolls, Pies, Cake Central 1745 W 30 Rosedale 1800 Quality Service.

Sloan's Liniment Pain's enemy Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. church is reported as saying in an address at Williams C. M. E. church, this city, Xmas Sunday afternoon, that he could not be expected to remove L. H. Brown from the pastorate of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church because the latter "did not vote for Mr. Smith"; that Mr. Smith was his nephew) friend and that if he had been invited in this city on the recent election day he would have voted for Mr. Smith, of course. Thank you, bishop, for that indorsement, but Brown is NOT being opposed because he "did not vote for Mr. Smith." It is because he allied himself in the campaign with the side of the ward 11 contest which was championed by the most notorious Negro character (gambler, etc., etc.) in the city of Cleveland. His was the side that was fighting to continue the lowest, vilest and most distressing condition (in ward 11), this city ever knew. Brown opened Lane church (on a Sunday afternoon) to the side of this city in the test—the only minister in that ward to dare to do so on a week day or Sunday, such was the sentiment and feeling among our other pastors and the good residents of the ward and the entire city, including the great majority of Lane Metropolitan church members. No one was particularly concerned with the way Brown was going to vote, but the members and friends of Lane church were greatly concerned when he arbitrarily opened the doors of the church to "Starlight" Boyd's side of the contest in spite of the earnest protests of the great majority of its members. That act and others equally as serious are what caused them and leaded them to the side of the city to petition Bishop Phillips and to offer him at Indianapolis, last month, to remove Brown, and are what are ruining Lane church now, as far as its membership and its morale are concerned. Scores of members have left the church and joined St. John's A. M. E., St. Paul's Zion A. M. E., Cory M. E., Williams C. M. E. chapel and other local churches in recent months and weeks. Of course it our friends to continue Bishop as pastor of a church in the face of the present sad conditions therein he has the power to do so, but not only Lane but also the C. M. E. Church will suffer great loss. And why should they, just so that man can remain as pastor of Lane church? He has shown himself to be thorny out of harmony with the good people of ward 11 (in which is located the church) as well as out of harmony with the great mass of church and other good people in this city. Brown's alleged remark at the meeting Xmas Sunday afternoon, if he really did say that "there are no morals in politics," is enough to condemn him from a half dozen viewpoints. We take it, if he is correctly quoted, that he was offering that as a sort of excuse for his alliance with the "Starlight" Boyd side of the recent ward 11 contest. No good excuse, for following any Christian minister to say nothing of others. Move Brown, bishop, for the good and welfare of the church. MOVE BROWN, BISHOP!

SAD CLOWNS OFF STAGE Clown's Historians Have Not Gotten Themselves in Print by Considering Him Lightly—Wardrobe Mistress Always "The Little Mother." NEW YORK—Like that creative genius who was only deferred from inventing something wonderful by the fact that everything wonderful had already been invented so one is only deterred from annually writing some colorful romance of the circus by the fact that every scribbler under the sun in other months of the years has made such generous contributions to circus literature that thinking backward there seems no corner nor shade nor meaning to the circus left for exposition. Clowns? Surely they've been done to death. What the public and not the "be-blanked public" either, but the good, circus-loving public—a choice variety even with the children left out—what the public wants from the pen regarding clowns is something like "The Clown's Tragedy." A sad clown, off stage, is an irresistible figure of romance. They simply long for clowns to be sad, off stage. If any one tried to tell them that a certain clown was the best company in the world, an easy laugher, a jolly good fellow, that clown would lose considerable ground as a comedian. We require that they go mute and solitary. An unhappy end, is if not hoped for, at least anticipated. A whole life passed making other people happy then go down to the grave, deserted and desistute. We prefer this form and if any breaker of idols has ever deviated from it his manuscript was certainly rejected, and so we have never been pained by seeing it in print. In fact, a clown leading a pleasant private life would better keep it dark. The clown's code, clown's tragedy, last moments of a clown, the clown weeps, lament of the clown, the mad clown, the sad clown, the clown and his attendant curse, are some of the points from which the clown has been considered. Note that his historians have not got themselves in print by considering him lightly. Then there is the romance, the glamour of the circus. Writers are also under an enchantment here. They always marry performers to ministers. The only deviation from this—we had almost said unhappy ending until we remembered that it was meant for a happy one—is when they marry them to ministers' daughters. See "Polly of the Circus" and a host of others not so well known. This form of circus literature is so common that it has begun to affect the usually sensible circus folk themselves and we really truly did meet a man at the circus last week who once long ago married a minister's daughter. Her father induced him, probably by force, to leave his native health the three rings and for years he had pined without it. But nature was too strong, even for a Methodist minister, and our worthy would up and at it again in spite of his father-in-law. On maybe, the father-in-law died. Any way, recently there was the circus victim of the power of suggestion in the pernicious literature selling us something, not peanuts nor lemonade, but something he invented just as an excuse to get away from the minister and back to the circus. We won't tell what, for some conscienceless scribler would go after him and write him up in a woman's magazine and it would be pious, and that would be just one more like all the rest of them. There is more to be learned from this story, too, and that is why nope invent things. Certain figures in the circus are life-erally engulfed in a sea of paper and ink; the clown, the lion tamer—to whom Thomas Janvier gave his distinguished attention—also the woman whose husbands throws knives at her, the lady tight-rope walker, whose disposition and character, due entirely to her peculiar walk in life and therefore no credit to her presumably, are said to be so above reproach that it seems a pity these days that more of us are not urged to walk the tight-rope as a vocation. The wardrobe mistress is another good target. "The little mother of the circus" has for so long been the accepted form of referring to her that it is possible that circus managers choose that incumbent with the requirement that she fill this bill. Thus giving the public what it wants works ever in a circle, though not always a vicious one. DRUG CLINICS FAIL. Dispensation of Narcotics By Municipalities Condensed. CHICAGO—Municipal dispensation of drugs through narcotic drug clinics is generally conceded to have been a failure, reports a committee on narcotic drugs and crimes appointed by the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology. The report was written by Dr. L. L Stanley, resident physician of the California state prison at San Quentin, for presentation to the twelfth annual meeting of the institute. Dr. Stanley adds that "probably no more municipalities will establish clinics of this type." Government monopoly of the manufacture of opium derivatives is recommended in the report. Dr. Stan- ley urges that it be "put on a plan somewhat similar to the minting of money." Narcotic drug clinics by Dr. Stanley are those established at New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles and San Diego. He characterizes the failure of the New York clinic, which closed early in 1920 after 11 months' operation, as "one of the two outstanding features in the past two years' developments in regard to the drug addiction problem." Reasons for the discontinuance of the New York clinic are thus summarized in the report: "It was found that of the 7,400 drug addicts who attended the clinic for their narcotics, less than 2,000 were willing to go to a hospital for treatment, with ultimate cure in sight. The officials of the department were convinced that it was not the proper procedure to give narcotic drugs to addicts for self-administration. "Some addicts sold the excess obtained at the clinic to other addicts or peddlers. There was fraud in obtaining the drug. Friends of addicts became habitues through association with beneficiaries of the clinic. With very few exceptions, no cures were known to have been effected by means of the reduction system used. Ambulatory treatment was found to be vicious in principle and effect; there is no need for prolonging addiction by a continued supply of narcotics." With the failure of the clinic and the aroused interest in narcotic drug addictions, continues the report, the question arises. What are you going to do about it? "There seems to be no concerted effort to deal with it as the government has dealt with alcoholic liquors," says Dr. Stanley. "The manufacture, transportation and distribution of narcotics has not been curtailed, except as to dispensing by the Harrison law." NEW "SHERLOCK HOLMES.' Paris Detective Proves Quick Wit in Corraling Thieves. PARIS.—A new "Sherlock Holmes" has sprung up in Paris in the person of Marcel Pantin, a Paris detective. Robberies being reported by a store in the Rue Daunou, Pantin concealed himself on the premises in a trunk. After waiting for several hours he heard the burglar's arrive and proceed to gather in their loot. Just before he was ready to spring out and denounce them, however, the detective sneezed and the robbers at once sprang on him and, believing him to be another thief, called police and said they had discovered Pantin in the act of robbing the store. Showing his genius as a true book-detective at this moment, Pantin, instead of protesting, allowed himself to be taken to the nearest police station, knowing that the real robbers would have to go there as accusers. When the party reached the station the detective revealed his true identity and the discomfited burglar们 were arrested. TO LEARN GERMAN. French Urged to Study Language by Ex-President Poincaire. PARIS.—"Learn German" is the advice former President Poincaire has given the French through the Association of Language Professors. He said: "To dominate German science we must understand it. And to maintain the independence or the superiority of our literature we must not close our eyes to foreign literature, not even that of Germany." M. Poincaire said German must be known by those who undertake the administration of the occupied regions and also to restore French to its proper place in Alsace-Lorraine. Army officers recently were urged to learn German. The government has reinstated that language in the officers' training schools. Baseball Keeps Schoolchildren Good LAST LAKE CITY, Utah—Salt Lake City has an enterprising base ball club. Since 1917 it has admitted free on every Friday teachers and pupls of the four higher grades of the public schools. It is necessary that the pupil shall show satisfactory at tendance, be of good deportment and attain a grade of at least 85 in every study, in order to entitle him to this privilege. The successful ones which average 98 per cent of the entire 6,000 children eligible, are excused form school an hour earlier. School- children baseball fans will now be pestering their parents to move to Salt Lake City. Officers Killed. The total number of commissioned officers sent to Europe and Siberia during the world war was 83,304. The number killed in battle was 2,191. MUNICIPAL THEATRE. South American City Now Planning National Dramas. RIO DE JANERO.-This city, which already possesses a splendid municipal opera house, is now planning a municipal dramatic theatre where national dramas, written by national authors and performed by native talent, will be presented under the auspices of the municipality. It is intended that the new theatre shall largely be for the benefit of the public. This project, which has already passed its second reading in the municipal council for the establishment of a stock company, of which two-thirds are to be native Brazilians and the remainder naturalized Brazilians who have had their artistic training in this country. The company will perform for regular seasons in Rio de Janeiro and make annual tours to the state capitals and the principal cities of Brazil. One benefit performance will be given THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 7, 1922 each season for the first artists of the company, and another for those of the second class. Gala performances will be given on five days, marking notable events in the nation's history AUTO THEFTS INCREASE. Severe Penalties Meted Out in St. Louis Are Working Results. WASHINGTON, D. C.—According to records kept by the police of 49 cities, over 31,000 autos were stolen in this country in the last year, against 26,000 the year before. About 75 per cent of the cars were recovered. St. Louis is the only place where thievery is being made less popular. The thieves there are being treated to extreme penalties, including imprisonment up to 20 years, and this has discouraged them. Stricter laws and rules are being adopted all over the country and it is believed that before long the gangs will be rounded up and put out of business. SAVES MOTHER FROM CELL. Mother Was Refused Entrance to Jail When Accompanied by Baby. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.—A baby saved Mrs. Margaret Burinton from incarceration in prison here. Sentenced to three years for using the mails to defraud, Mrs. Burinton arrived with her six-months-old baby. Attorney General Brundage ruled that Missouri law does not permit incarceration of children, so the woman was refused entrance and sent back to Wisconsin. The child may be turned over to its father and Mrs. Burington placed in a Federal prison. CURES WAR GAS VICTIMS. Healing Balsams in Super-Heated Air Are Employed PARIS.—A French physician has worked out a course of treatment by means of which, he declares, he can cure war-gas victims within three months. His treatment consists in putting the patient in bed in a room through which superheated air laden with antiseptic essences and healing balsams is made to circulate. In addition to overcoming the evil effects of the poisonous gases this treatment will cure bronchitis and relieve even advanced cases of tuberculosis, the inventor declares. Paris Crooks Use Phosgene Gas. PARIS.—Asphixating gas is the latest weapon of Paris crooks. Penetrating the home of Gustave Courtals at Massy, near the capital, the burglar sets off a projectile of phosgene gas which had apparently been stolen from war stores. Waiting until the occupants were stupefied by the fumes, the robbers, wearing gas masks, looted the house at their ease and escaped. IRISH RELIGIOUS ZEALOT. Accomplishes Remarkable Cures by Touch of Crucifix. DUBLIN—Templemore, a small village in Ireland, has become famous owing to the remarkable cures that are being effected there. Thousands of people are flocking in from all parts of the country and every spare room in the village has been converted into lodgings for pilgrims. The miracles are performed, it is claimed, by divine power exercised through crucifixes belonging to a religious zealot named James Walsh. The statues are arranged in a spacious yard bedecked with flowers and the people are admitted in twos and threes to be treated. One man who was for five years a cripple is said now to be perfectly sound. A woman afflicted with nervous disorders was cured when the crucifix was laid on her brow. A discharged soldier suffering with a broken knee was made well after he had pressed the injured member against the crucifix. Another who was blind is asserted to have partly regained his sight. Almost every describable human ailment, from warts to tuberculosis and club foot, is being presented for treatment. JUST LIKE BALL FANS. Crowds, Displaced With Bull Fighter, Hurl Missiles. MADRID—Bull fight fans in Hare, province of Logrone, displeased at the work of Rafael Gomez, a torero known as "Gallo," forced him to take flight in an automobile after the conclusion of a Sunday festival. Police kept the angered spectators back, but Gallo's departure was accompanied by a shower of stones and other missiles. At Tetuan, Morocco, Blanquo was forced to kill five bulls after his companions, Chull and Carrion, were tossed and injured rather seriously. Blanquo's work was acceptable to the crowd. RADIO MAGNETS Used to Guide Ships in Test by Navy Department. NEW YORK—The Navy Department has conducted a primary test in New York harbor of the navigation of ships by means of radio magnets, which it is said proved successful. A cable equipped with radio magnets was laid through the tortuous channel and the ships were equipped with radio compasses, enabling them to detect a deviation of a fraction of an inch to one side or of the cable which marked the channel. Ships will be able to run at full speed no matter how dense the weather. Big Shipping Program LONDON. — According to Lloyd's Register of Shipping, Great Britain has now in process of construction a total tonnage of 3,578,000, the highest amount ever recorded. This exceeds by over 1,900,000 the amount of shipping under construction in the United States. Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years, to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob 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 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by & 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 recovered, and such children such unlawful killing. 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 deceased, and such will be distributed along the next of kih according to the laws of 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. (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. 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 lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (v. 162 7) Section 6288. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery has had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing a mob person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such 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 disburse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading ed. representative of victim of lynching.ury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) Upon the request of many reader- or 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 they should, but it will do for them what they must do 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 Beacon Bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gate 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. 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. 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 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 national history, because discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian.
