Frederick Douglas' birthday, in the People's Baptist church. Before a crowded church he announced first, that he had lowered the flag on the State House in honor of Douglass as he had for Lincoln on the 12th; second, that he had directed the appointment of Rowena Easterling to a civil service place who had been repeatedly turned down although near the top of the list. Both were requests of the National Equal Rights League, she first by Secretary W. Monroe Trotter, the second by Rev. W. D. McClane, Ex-Chair, of the Boston branch. The city also displayed flags for Douglass. Exercises were also held in the square named by the city for Douglass at the request of the League. The audience endorsed unanimously the movement urged by the League to have Sunday, March 5th (or Monday, March 6th), observed in every community as a "national race day," being the 152nd anniversary of the death of Crispus Attucks in Boston, and called "Citizenship Foundation Day" as then the race furnished the country's first martyr.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "The Savages of the South" Apparently Still Have Him The Old Lie About the Cause of Lynchings Bullock and Canada, Etc. ADDITIONAL LOCALS (Special to THE GAZETTE) Jersey City, N. J.—The Dyer bill has passed the lower house of Congress. It must now meet southern opposition in the U. S. Senate. The Dyer bill is not a Negro bill, but one, drawn by the judicial committee of the House of Representatives, to install law and order in this country. White men and women of right minds should be as anxious for the passage of the bill as colored people are. Negroes suffer most from the unbridled reign of mob law and anarchy for they are the principle ones that die in this manner. Whites' suffer more morally than colored for while they may lynch a colored demon and end his career, lynching multiplies white savages, even casting its shadow upon the cradles in white homes and follow the children until they stain their hearts and hands in human blood. The apology of William Jennings, Bryan for lynching is the most cowardly surrender of a once high governmental official to the worst evil in America that any generation has seen. To say that lynching exists because colored men attack white women, is to be the history of lynching on the one hand and to drag the white woman down to the mire on the other. Every man that repeats this statement knows he lies, his conscience smites him for the lie and his wicked heart even rebels against the lie. But to maintain a brutal sway over an oppressed people, these liars pay no, head to the castigations of conscience nor to the righteous verdict of history. Pass the Dyer bill or surrender America to the savages of the south who will soon bring to our shores the hordes of India to enlighten us. Pass the Dyer bill or forever remove this nation from among the names of civilized nations of the earth. Pity the south that contends for the retention of lynching. Pity the south that must bear the odium of the most vicious representatives in Congress that any time or generation has known. The Dyer bill may save the civilization of the white race in this country, but it will damn America if it is not passed. Canada has refused to surrender Balkov to North Carolina "justice." Canada does not believe a colored man will have a fair trial in North Carolina if he has fought a white man. Every Governor that believes in justice whether in Canada or the United States should refuse to surrender a colored fugitive to the Creeks or southern states. The whole south is one seething pot of violence and lawlessness! The N. A. C. C. did good work in holding up before the courts of Canada the weakness of the courts of the Abe, E. Stevens, who years ago resided in Cleveland and was one of our successful men, moved to Des Moines, Iowa, from here: While in Cleveland, as many will remember, he was for years a trusted employee of a leading local bank and accumulated property worth between $5,000 and $10,000 which he still owns. In Des Moines, he secured employment in a bank and has accumulated additional property there, all about $7,500. All of our older residents, of this city, will remember him, and be pleased to seen of his continued success. At Mr. Zitan Cong, churches the Garvey movement will be discussed in a seminar.

FEBRUARY 25.1922 Frederick Douglass' wonderful career, like good wine, grows better with age and is an inspiration to all who will study it. Let our young folk familiarize themselves with it. If something is not done, before this fall's elections by the controlling powers, to revive the Afro-American's interest in Republican success, many a congressman (and other Republican candidates) will fall of election. Mark our prediction! --- Afro-Americans should take greater interest in the cases of Haiti and Santo Domingo. They should appeal in an organized way to President Harding and the Congress and insist that the Democratic policy, inaugurated by the Wilson administration, be discontinued in both little (Colored) republics just as soon as possible. Not only for the good of those peoples but also because it is the proper thing to do and for the purpose of retaining the good will and respect of South American countries. The action of the Bishops (A. M. E.) in requesting the resignation of Ira T. Bryant as secretary of the Sunday School Union, is in line with stern necessity. . . . It is a case that if he is right the whole bench of Bishops should resign. If he is not right, he should be dismissed. There is no way of getting around this—Philadelphia A. M. E. Christian Recorder. If the foregoing is true, Secretary Ira T. Bryant should be tried before being asked to resign or being dismissed. This is due the many thousands of members of the great A. M. E. Church as well as the bishops and the latter ought to be first to insist upon a trial. Surely, they have absolutely nothing to fear as a result. BROWN AND THE REVIVAL Week before last was a "week of prayer" at Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church, preparatory to the revival meeting that started, last week Monday, with the arrival of an evangelist. In this city it has been a rule for many, many years that whenever a revival was being conducted in one of our churches it was impossible to get that church for any public or semi-public affair. It is different, these days it seems, at Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church for the first time, if memory serves us correctly, in its history. Last week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, while the good members of the church and the evangelist were endeavoring to carry on their revival meeting in the Sunday School room, over their heads (up stairs) on the next floor a public meeting of a local organization was being held each evening in which a brass band with its music played an important part. It was against this that the revivalists had to work, in order that the pastor (L. H. Brown) might add to the greatly depleted revenues of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church, so very many members (some leading officers) having left it, in recent months, and some of its best regular sources of income have been lost with their going. When some of Lane's good people protested to Brown, it is said, his reply was, "we are making money." Those using the church are said to have paid thirty dollars an evening for its use. The great majority of the members of the church insist that Brown must go and claim that the latter encouraged the misleading resolutions, issued recently by a few members of the church, on the sug- gestion of Rt. Rev. C. H. Phillips, the presiding bishop of this district of the C. M. E. Church. On Feb. 8, 1922, they appealed to the C. M. E. Bishop's Council, in session at Montgomery, Ala. to remove Brown and are still working hard to that end. Remove him, Bishop Phillips! before more harm comes to Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church. Surely you don't want the church to suffer more! Why should it? --- HARDING AT HOME; WILSON ABROAD. In presenting to the Senate the treaties agreed upon at the Armament Conference President Harding occupied a position much stronger than that occupied by President Wilson when he presented the treaty agreed upon at Versailles. Mr. Harding was in a position to argue that the honor of the country required the ratification of the treaty. President Wilson and his supporters undertook to make such a claim in behalf of the treaty of peace with its league of nations encumbrance, but the plea gained no credence anywhere. The difference between the two situations is clear. President Wilson went to Paris practically alone. He took with him a few subordinates, but he neither counseled with them nor received from them any suggestions. They were mere clerks carrying information to give him if called for. Neither directly nor indirectly did he take the advice of the Senate nor keep the Senate informed as to the steps he was taking. Moreover, it having been reported that President Wilson intended to incorporate in the peace treaty the league of nations covenant, thirty九 members of the Senate notified him in writing and by the adoption of a resolution that they could not support the treaty with such a provision in it. With that knowledge before him and before the other nations represented at Versailles, President Wilson continued in his determination to interweave the league of nations covenant in the peace treaty in such a way that the whole must be accepted or rejected. He undertook to force the Senate to give its sanction to agreements with which the Senate disagreed. No such methods were pursued by President Harding. Instead of going personally as a delegate to the Conference he appointed four of the ablest men in the United States, two of them members of the Senate and leaders of their respective political parties. These four men in constant consultation among themselves and with the President and with members of the Senate represented the interests and desires of this government. Moreover, the Senate had already, by adoption of a resolution, declared its desire that treaties be made providing for limitation of armament and settling vexatious questions in the Pacific. Thus it will be seen the President made the treaties with the "advice" of the Senate. In one other respect President Harding's position was much stronger than that of President Wilson. At the same time that he submitted the treaties to the Senate he placed before that body a complete copy of the minutes of the proceedings by which the terms of the treaties were arrived at. In other words, he placed before the Senate all the information in his possession bearing upon the agreements by which it was proposed the United States should be bound. Not so did President Wilson. A vast amount of the data pertaining to the Peace Conference at Versailles was hidden away in what has since been called the "steel box," and only in recent weeks have the Senate and the public been permitted to know a portion of the contents of the box and even at this late date only such portions as an editor acting under the direction of Mr. Wilson saw fit to make known through the columns of a limited number of newspapers. President Wilson proceeded to negotiate a treaty in violation of both the spirit and the letter of the U. S. Constitution. President Harding paid due respect to both. DESIRE LIMITED FREE- FREEDOM. Mary Filipinos Tell Gen. Wood They Prefer American Protectorate. SAN FERNANDO, La Union Province, P. I.—A farmer, addressing Major General Leonard W. Cameron Forbes, President Harding's Philippine mission, at Santa Maria, declared that a large part of the population desired that present conditions continue. He said he believed that if independence was guaranteed to the Philippine taxes would increase three-fold. At Santiago speakers asked for independence with an American protectorate. Two laborers at the Santiago meeting, however, said they did not believe the islands would be able to support a government. The principal speaker at Candon said the people in that vicinity hoped for independence some time before the American protectorate, but stated if it was not granted the Filipinos could be 'good losers.' Both General Wood and Mr. Forbes, traveling by automobile, stopped frequently along the road and talked with groups of laborers. Native speakers practically all de- fended them, as were willing to leave the question indiscriminately to Congress, but asserted they wished freedom with a protectorate. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, FEBRUARY 25, 1932. Management Blamed for 50% and Labor for 25%. HAVE IDLE EQUIPMENT. Advices Organized Labor to Develop Policy for Increasing Output and to Raise Standards of Skill. Plant Idiency Is Severely Condemned. ST. LOUIS—American engineers place 50 per cent of the loss and waste in industrial process at the door of the management and 25 per cent is due to labor. These figures were made public in the report of the American Engineering council's committee on elimination of waste in industry. The report showed that the margin of unemployment amounted to more than a million men; that billions of dollars were tied up in idle investment; that high laborturnover was a rough index of one of the lowest wastes, and that waste of time, energy and money through dumplings and estimates and bids in building trades ran in millions annually. Both employer aid employees restrict output, it was said. Both capital and labor are blamed for excluding abuses, but the annual between waste by conflicts between much less than popularly supposed. Five Million Idle. From four to five million workers were idle during January and February of this year. In 1921 half a billion dollars will be lost in wages in the building trades. It was said. The waste inquiry was in charge of committee of sixteen headed by J. B. McCormick, chairman, and L. W. Wallace of Washington, executive secretary of the American engineering council of the federated American engineering societies as vice chairman. This was the beginning of a movement by the country's organized engineers, about 200,000 in number, to bring about better industrial conditions and more harmonious relations between capital and labor. The committee outlined the following promised program of governmental assistance to eliminate waste: "A national industrial information service should be established to furnish information covering current production and consumption and stocks of commodity; a national statistical service to cover employment requirements; a national policy regarding public health to foster and encourage the national standardization of equipment should be encouraged and opportunities for education and placement of those having physical defects and those handicapped because of industrial accidents; a nation wide program of industrial standardization should be encouraged in conjunction with industrial interests; the government should recognize the necessity for a revision of such federal laws as in industry; a body of principles should be accepted which could be developed for the adjustment and settlement of labor disputes." Labor Should Increase Output. Organized labor should develop a policy for increasing output. it was stated. "The attitude of opposition or indifference to proper standards for production should be changed to a frank and aggressive insistence on such standards." Becoming in the annual economic loss in the country through preventable diseases and death amounted to $3,000,000,000 the report urged a more general use of safety methods already perfected. It was asserted that 75 per cent of the deaths and serious accidents in industry could be thus prevented. Plant idleness came in for its share of the blame for waste. In the printing industry alone the report said, an investment of more than $100,000,000 to meet trade requirements could be cut in half through standardization. In the breads of paper. The building industry was said to be about 60 per cent efficient. In the shoe industry the waste is put at about 35 per cent. The average plant in the metal trades group is from 25 per cent to 30 per cent behind the best plant in output per employee. ROB FRENCH ROADS. PARIS.—In 1913 merchandise in value estimated at 17,000,000 francs was stolen from the cars and yards of French railway companies. In 1920 the figure reached 241,000,000 francs, or more than fourteen times as much. The number of boots is compared with wearer figures, of course, for some part of the difference, but for the greater part there is no other reason than simple increase in the practice of theft. The railroad which has suffered most from thefts is the Paris, Lyon and Nantes stations on which recently there has been an extraordinary number of cases in which passengers have been robbed. Before the war average compensation for theft paid by the company war about 5,000,000 francs. Last year it was 95,000,000 francs. The State Railways by comparison, more hostess as there the increase has been only from 4,000,000 francs to 45,000,000 francs. Handkerchief tunica and all sorts of pointed and scalloped draperies are the motif for chiffon frocks these days, and for dresses trimmed SAILORS ARE STRANDED. "After the feast, a famine." The saying might well apply to a multitude of seamen in the port of New York, who during the war were getting higher wages than ever before and now are idle and some of them destitute. Twenty thousand sailors, of whom the navy, dinavian, are sai, to be thus stranded, their ships being unable to obtain cargoes at the present time. PRIME SPORT NEWS By Allen Harrison Dorsey Hillsboro. O. — "Tut" Jackson, promising young heavyweight boxer of Washington. C. H., continued to increase his string of knock-out victories here last week, when he put "Smoke" Davis to sleep in the second round of a schedulled ten-round bout. Davis was floored three times before the "kay-o." A large crowd enjoyed the bouts. Willett, Central's Star Lincoln nosed out the Central High basketball ll team, 12 to 11, on the Central floor, last Friday night. It was one of the best games of the senate season and was decided when the team had a basket a few minutes before the centertain of the Central five, was the "big noise" for his team, getting three field baskets and scoring nine of their points. Basketball Tournament Dayton, O.—The "High Y" boys of Ohio, composed of high school boys working in connection with the Y. M. C. A., are planning to stage a state basketball tournament here on March 3 and 4. This is the first attempt to have organized athletics and teams from clubs in Columbus, Cincinnati, Springfield and Dayton will compete in the tourney. Interest in the event is great as a neat medal will be awarded to the club winning the state championship. The boys' department of the 5th St. Branch, here, under O. O. Morris, is in charge of the tournament. Tokalons In Great Game The Pioneer basketball team defeated the Tokalons in one of the wildest and most exciting games seen here in a long time, at Eagle's hall, Monday night. Score, 18 to 17. It was full of thrills, with first one team in the lead, then the other. For a short time it looked as if the lightweight Toks would overcome the heavyweight Tokalons when they rushed into a good lead, finishing the first half ahead, 10 to 7. Starting the second period the Pioneers played with more speed and were a trifle more accurate and slowly overcame the Tokalons. The youngsters were game to the core and, although the pace was telling on them, played for all they were worth. The hero of the game was will, the "Bull Mitch" who scored fifteen of the losers' points. Harvey was a star player on the winners' side. Euclid Christians defeated the Scholastics in the prelim, 26 to 12. Fears' Giants are busy on plans to buy a much stronger team than has bought a much stronger team than has STUDENTS HARD HIT. Oklahoma City — Oklahoma loves to lead, as well as Kansas ever did. From the Board of Regents of the Oklahoma University comes the first ordinance in restraint of undergraduate automobiles. Presumably their theory is that students educated at the expense of the State should not be "wasting their money and their time" in carriots of the swift. In the case of privately endowed institutions another rule might be followed. In primitive when women abhorred we are innocent of bathroomries and even brooms, there was often a certain prejudice against the purple youth who could afford to "keep a horse." The practice was not "democratic." Later, automobiles were considere- d of doubtful "form"; but now these are by no means confined to gilded youth. More and more, in the country at large, a person not propelled by gasoline must be getting to be a curiosity. In the Middle West, particularly, the centre of cardom, he must be regarded with suspicion as a conservative, an es- thetician, and a mobile is the greatest common vehicle. It is a little surprising that Oklahoma should forbid that universal means of transportation to the students of the State University. It is conceivable, of course, that the "machine" may interfere with study. In that case why not modify the course of study so as to allow an ample use of the automobile." URGES JUDICIAL REFORM Spokesman for Attorneys Asks Inquiry by Congressional Committee. WASHINGTON—Appointment of a joint Congressional committee to investigate the need for revising the Federal judicial system was urged before the House Rules Committee by Thomas B. Felder of New York, spokesman for a group of attorneys conferring here on judicial reforms. The Felder said that there urgent necessity for establishment of new court districts because of the growth in population in many localities which had resulted in clogged court dockets. The increase in the number of cases due to violation of the prohibition law, Mr. Felder said, and the popularity of the automobile re-entry law, Mr. Felder said, automobile parts caused overworked Federal judges to get far behind in their work. EXTRACTION OF RADIUM PARIS. — Madame Curie must have spent more than one hundred thousand dollars to obtain the speck of radium compound with which she once electrified the world. Madame Curie's radium came from pitchblende, highly complex or one-hundredth of the radium-reducing laboratories of today start with the carbonite of Colorado, the autunite of Portugal and Tonkin, or certain care minerals of Madagascar. The average ton of ore contains about one-one-hundredth of a gram of radium and a gram is about a thimbleful. This means that the amount of radium compound usually supplied to a radiometer in it. little tubes, three and one-half inches long and one-quarter inch in diameter, has been reduced from about ten tons of ore. In addition, the process has required three tons of hydrochloric acid, five "Tut" Going Strong year and will be under the strict training of one of the best baseball managers. Phil. Fears, the president, has been connected with the league, and is known as a "square dealer." J. T. Dieler, the treasurer, is an honest young man, quite an asset to the club. E. E. Smith, secretary, is a former pitcher, and a real hustler. They hope to win the favor of local ball fans. Communications to the league can be sent to 2555 E. 31st St. Branham Wins Hot Game Palm Beach, Fla.—The Point奶奶 hotel team, engaged in a winter series with the Breakers hotel nine, were winners in a red-hot game with the latter nine, here Tuesday. Jim Bainne stars in Cleveland Tate Star, on the mound for the Point奶奶, had the best of a great hurling duel with "Ace" J Johnson of the Breakers. Branham let his opponents down with two hits and struck out six. Cannady, Clark and Pierce were stars on the winning side and Cokrell and White featured for the losers. tons of carbonate of soda, one ton of sulfuric acid and at least ten tons of coal, not to mention an electric or oil furnace. And time has been needed—a month of it. The ore is crushed into powder, then a kind of lye is formed of it with strong acid, and this has to be treated with a weaker acid. The product is washed with hot distilled water. There are scores of operations after this and before the ten tons of ore are ultimately reduced to one hundred milligrams, the quantity ordinarily supplied to physicians, the various products must have been tested, and then than five hundred times in order. But if radium bromide answers medical requirements, why can not the process be simplified and some of the problems can be solved lotions it? It can not be done. If a ton of radium could be obtained by some herculean process, the producer and his thousands of assistants had been piled up. NEW YORK. — Loose safety straps, which allowed the wearer to slip from her seat, were held responsible for the death of Miss Laura Bromwell, America's foremost woman flyer, who was insantly killed while looping the loop in a single-seat Canadian airplane at Mineola. Within a few minutes after Miss Bromwell had dared skyward, with a upon her lips, her body was lying mangled beneath the wreckage of her machine. Her friends said she had a premonition that she would be killed some day, but she apparently had no thought of danger nor death as she began her last and fatal flight. Miss Bromwell was holder of two air records for women—looping the loop and speed. She was a native of Cincinnati, was only twenty-three years old and was to be married. Her George Dale who was at the Mineola flying field,ainted when the airplane crashed. Sleeveless dresses are much in vogue and are frequently seen in dresses which are cut with a perfectly straight front and having quite a high neck line. Jumper dresses made of linen, sports silk and other summer materials are designed to be worn over blouses. The tailored types are smart with frocks having the Peter an collar. Recognition of Mexico under guarantees such as are desired by the national administration would be a great boost to American business. The president was proposed to Mexico a treaty of amity and commerce, provided that the sterny Republic to the South of the Rio Grande River gives satisfactory guarantees to protect the property rights of Americans and also creates a convention to settle claims for losses of life and property. This would mean the establishment of a joint claims commission. Mexico is rich in mineral and oil resources, and with a stable government in the Republic, commerce with Uncle Sam would increase by leaps and bounds once diplomatic relations are restored. Recognition by the United States would help wonderfully to stabilize government in the Republic and also would improve Mexico's position with the administrations in Europe. Blame Loose Strap..

"The policy of the Republican county organization has been to give equitable representation to all peoples, and so long as the organization is under its present leadership, that policy will stand," Maurice Maschke, county Republican chairman, told members of the Attucks Republican club, Tuesday night, at their annual Lincoln Day dinner. Sounds nice, but is it true? Maschke, when campaigning a year ago last fall, promised ward 11 audiences, that assembled in the Central Bathhouse and elsewhere, that our people would have representation in all of the county offices if they "stood by" the Republican ticket being voted for at that time, and it won. They did this and the ticket won. Did they get an assistant county prosecutor (and representation in all of the county offices?) They did not! Even Selmo Glenn (and Wm. R. Green, Dr. Gregg, Major Anderson, Dwight R. Williams and Samuel E. Woods and many others know this.) Were they ATTENTION, FARMERS AND OTHERS! Mid-winter days give many opportunities for reading not afforded by warmer weather. Senator Frank B. Willis will be glad to send to any inquirers a list of the valuable farmers' bulletins published by the Government available for distribution, if you will drop him a card to Washington, D. C. When you have checked the list, D. C. will be as many of the bulletins you desire as he will be available for distribution. These bulletins, which are of a very high grade, contain much information of interest and value. Drawn for this paper By Fisner ever able to get an assistant police prosecutor from Maschke when Davis and FitzGerald were mayors? Sometimes there would be two or three Jewish assistants in that office at the same time and still Maschke would not give us the representation we were entitled to. Attys. Roy Cheeks and Selmo Glenn can tell you about this, too. Maschke simply would not give a member of the race a clerkship in the City hall, either. O, we know several of our men claimed such appointments but as a matter of fact they were but messengers or holding positions of even lesser degree. Then the way some of these appointees of color were and are placed—in basements and corners out of sight, behind screens, etc. When Syd. Thompson was nominated as a candidate for the Legislature and when Sam Woods and Wm. R. Green were elected to that august body, a year ago last fall, what happened to them? What would also have happened to Harry E. Davis but for that indignation meeting in Lane Metropolitan church shortly after election day, a year ago last fall? No wonder the attendance at the Attucks dinner, Tuesday evening, was small because that ward 11 contest, last October, opened the eyes of thousands of our people throut the city, and the day of such stuff as Maschke dealt out to the faithful few Tuesday evening, is past just as "Star," (and Tom), FitzGerald, and Maschke, too, for that matter, have passed, politically. It is really amusing to hear the "FitzGerald Maschke - 'Starlight-Fleming' Negroes white and yowl who have been "hot-footed" out of city jobs by the new Kohler (local) administration, and, nearly all of them have been, we are told. Their efforts to work up a little sympathy for themselves and, in order work up a little sympathy, of the people in need of resentment our people against the new mayor because he very properly "put them on the greased ways and skidded them out into the cold, dreary world" to do a little real work for a living (like the rest of us) at much smaller pay, for the first time in several years, are certainly laughable, to say the least. It is also music in the ears of thousands of the good people of Ward 11 who stood on the streets, last October, and heard many of these same "yowlers" spawing out their miserable abuse and contempt candidates, "Fitz" and Tom. Now that they are but getting what they earned, last fall, they are whining "like a pack of whipped spaniels," not because they have lost their jobs, O, NO! but because they say, "Colored men are not being pointed to the place they have held." How silly! Did our people support Mayor Kohler in any such numbers as to entitle them to all of said places? Was there a Kohler organization or concerted movement of any kind for him among our people in Ward 11 or any other ward in the city of Cleveland, last fall? Has any person even heard of any such thing? City jobs do not belong to our people simply because they are held for a short or long time by members of the race. And yet, there are those who thoughtlessly feel so and it is upon these that the whinners and yowlers are busily working. They even tried to end the support of the Old Gazette in their crusade against Mayor Kohler. How foolish! As if we could ever forget their most reprehensible conduct of last October in Ward 11 alone. Before election, last November, a few of our people "whispered under their breath" that they were for Kohler for mayor. Since election many of them say they were, but all knew that most of that "say" is "bunk," not fooling anybody, particularly the mayor. Nearly all the Gazette in last October for Kohler, Hinchliffe and Haserod, and every one of us know this, so where do these "Fitz"-maschke-*Starlight*-*Fleming* Negro to appease their resentment for the loss of the jobs they have very properly been separated from by him? They "worked their heads off," so to speak, trying to re-elect FitzGerald (and Tom) and lost, and were due to get what they have received—the political hot-foot. THANK THE LORD! Then, too, when one remembers the miserable lies most of them "hawked" up and down Central Ave, all during the campaign, directed mainly at the people in need of resentment, presented the peoples' cause in Ward 11, one cannot help but feel that the "yowlers" have not yet received "the half that is coming to them." But mercy, how they WHINE! If they but knew how the people enjoy hearing them, they would "take a tumble." Meanwhile, the good people of Ward 11 smile. It is their turn to do so and has been ever since election day.

VED AT THIS OFFICE Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, but Give It to a Friend or an Acquaintance who Might Subscribe After Reading a Copy of It Negro Conquest Of France As Seen By Norman Angell And Mary White Ovington Black Frenchmen Wise in Their Improved Condition What France is Doing to Gain and Retain the Loyalty of Its African Subjects, Citizens. Capt. Napoleon B. Marshall Says the Attitude of Organization is Unfair to Race Brooklyn, N. Y. — I am turning from books to a magazine article that seems to me of especial significance. Mr. Norman Angell is a well known English writer, who has broad views on international questions. He attended some of the sessions of the Pan African Congress both in London and in Paris. This article is of great importance because it shows us clearly what those who attended the Congress observed—that the French Negro is first a Frenchman and second a Negro. I quote Mr. Angell: "The English speaking group (at the congress) habitually spoke of themselves as 'we Negroes,' while those from French territory spoke of themselves as 'we Frenchmen.'" This, as Mr. Angell goes on to explain, comes from the fact that France draws no color line. The Negro members of the Chamber of Deputies, for instance, or of the legal profession, have not only no social difficulties, in their relationship with their white colleagues. "They dine in the homes of members of the cabinet, plead for white clients in the courts, and it would never even occur to their French colleagues to ooze them any more, to ooze them exclusively. France has managed to make them men and countless other Africans feel that they are all French in spirit and feeling as well as in law. Mr. Angell finds something fine about this "from the merely moral or sentimental aspect," but he wants us to consider it politically. And what does it mean politically? To Mr. Angell it means this: That hereafter the success of France means Negro success, and that the French Negroes, wiser than the visionaries who talk of a consolidarity of the black race, have France to fight their battles for better treatment the world over. The French Negro leader thought, as Mr. Angell recognized, that the congress but still more from private conversation, is something like this: "There is a great instrument of power which can be used for the defense of Negro interest and right within our reach if we play our cards properly. That instrument is the political and military power of France. We possess New York City.—Captain Napoleon B. Marshall, veteran of the World War and at present an officer in the famous Fifteenth New York Regiment, charges the American Legion with unfairness to Negro former soldiers. Mr. Marshall is calling on the newspapers of the country to assist him in getting in touch with all former soldiers. Captain Marshall says: "After the armistice was signed, as you will recall, there was a great World Victory parade held in Paris of military units representing all the combatants who were engaged in that struggle. Not one American Negro was permitted to march in that parade. This fact was commented upon generally by the French people. Last summer the American Legion sent over to France a delegation of veterans to visit the battle fields and to lay a wreath on France's 'unknown soldier'. I, myself, made personal application to be permitted to represent the Colored American veterans on that occasion, in view of the fact that I had arranged to visit in France to meet My application was curiously and unceremoniously rejected. Several Frenchmen, including some officials suggested that the Colored veterans send a delegation over to France, and acting upon that suggestion upon my return to America, last fall. I wrote to the national headquarters of the American Legion, Indianapolis, requesting a list of all American Negro Legion posts in America with their locations. Subsequently, there appeared an interview with me in which it was set forth the action of the American Legion, last summer, towards its Colored members and my purpose to organize NEW YORK—"I Hear You Calling Me," may or may not be the popular air sung on board the yacht Kanawha formerly owned by a millionaire sportman, which has gone to Havana for reasons not explained. The craft was placed in the government service early in the war and had so many mishaps that it was said to have been "jinxed." Now it is owned by the Black Star line, which is interested in the Ethiopian republic. The master and all the crew are negoes. It is expected that the Havana "favor" will brace up the spirits of the argonauts. in African conscription the wherewithal to bargain for the placing of French power—and France is the predominant military state in the world—on the side of Negro right. Let us look at a few facts. The French army is already one-third Negro. The birth rate of France is stationary. But the birth rate of the Negro is not stationary. There is one way and only one by which France can maintain a permanent parity of power with her age-long enemy, Germany, and that is with the help of the African Negro. We negroes therefore hold the balance of power in the greatest quarrel in Western civilization. What more could we ask as an instrument for securing our rights in the world? France shall be our spokesman among the white powers. When on the next occasion a colored nation, whether Asiatic or African, demands as a principle, say, of the League of Nations, the recognition of racial equality, and when some new Mr. Wilson, as the protagonist of democracy, chooses to oppose that principle, then France shall stand upon it. She shall stand upon it because that will be the one condition of her being able to put any reliance upon her largest military raw material. In any vital Negro question this greatest of the military powers will us. We must ask a large price for our military support; and that is the greatest, political asset of the Negro race today." So Mr. Angell interprets the Negro in France and the willingness of the great mass of Negroes in the African possessions, who ten years ago did not know the Rhine from the Congo, to accept the leadership of their black Frenchmen in high office and be conscripted to fight in Europe. This is "The Negro conquest of France," a political conquest that may be of far reaching significance to all of Europe. And yet is that just what Mr. Angell means by the Negro conquest? He has a footnote, one that he intends to be skilker. It he, a mingling of black and white blood. Is this his conquest? You must read it and make your own judgment. At any rate it is a significant article. Mary White Ovington. a delegation of Colored Veterans to go abroad next summer. Failing to receive any reply to my request to the headquarters of the American Legion, as aforesaid, I again wrote, repeating my request and received from the headquarters a letter a copy of which is published below. Our committee is now compelled to appeal to the Colored newspapers all over the country for the names and locations of the Colored American Legion Posts and F am asking all to help us in this matter, as no one can do it as well as the Negro press." Following is a copy of the letter received by Captain Marshall from the headquarters of the American Legion: American Legion, National Headquarters, Meridian Life Bldg., Indianapolis, Ind.

My dear sir:—Your letter dated December 9th, indicates that you had communicated with us several weeks ago but we are unable to find in our files any letter addressed to us by you. The National Executive Committee of the American Legion almost two years ago prohibited the issuing of any lists of posts of the American Legion, and we feel, therefore, sorry that we cannot comply with your request.

Unlucky vessels, sometimes called "hoodoo" ships, are soon spotted by underwriters, according to "Syren and Shipping," and the owners find it difficult to get them insured. An accident during the launching is often taken by seamen as a sure sign of an unfortunate career. An instance cited is the "Daphne," which turned turtle while she was being launched and drowned over a hundred men. "Though her name was changed more than once in the hope of averting her misfortunes, she remained "unlucky" until she was finally sunk. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, FEBRUARY 25, 1922. Diplomatic Officers Submit Reports That Are Optimistic. STOCKS ARE DEPLETED. Countries Abroad That Had Large Supplies of Products Made in the United States Have About Exhausted Ticem.—Will Soon Be in Market for More Goods. WASHINGTON. — Reports from diplomatic officers abroad are to the effect that resumption of foreign trade on a normal basis is coming soon. Commerce with other nations is relied on to a certain extent to boom American business. Back of the extraordinary measures adopted by President Harding, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and Governor Harding of the federal bank reservoirs if f the benefit of the oppressed and debt-rebiven farmer, is the certain knowledge that the world demand for American products must soon be resumed. Theivariate reports from all parts of the federal reserve board that there has been a gradual depletion of accumulated stocks of American merchandise abroad. The board takes the view that the establishment of the channels now closed for American products. New Credit Support. New Credit Support. The establishment of new credit support for moving American products and assesments to the farmer that he can continue producing a profit is now sought by the administration. President Harding soon will resume his conferences with middle-western, southern and western financiers. Official announcement of still lower bank rate reductions in the near future will have a marked effect in further relieving the strain, new cuts are expected before mid-summer, and those are fully justified by the rising reserve ratio of all of the banks, and by the easier money conditions generally. PUBLIC BE DAMNED. Newspaperman Tells How Much Quoted Phrase Originated. Melville E. Stone, the well-known newspaper man, tells in "Collier's" the story of a famous phrase attributed to Mr. William H. Vanderbilt—"The public be damned." According to Mr. Stone, the phrase was used in exasperation against a reporter, not in contempt of public. The persistent reporter got into Mr. Vanderbilt's private car while he was at dinner and demanded an interview, but it downed the end of the car until I have finished dinner, and I will talk with you." pleaded the victim. "But," said the reporter, "it is late and I will not reach the office in time. The public "The public be damned!" ejaculated the infuriated dinner; "you get out of the office of this expositation, says Mr. Stone. The reporter made his 'sensational' interview, which did the railways incalculable damage. Dairy Products Healthy NEW YORK.—Physician, interested in raising the standards of health and vigor among Americans are now encouraging them to eat more dairy products, and also to eat more liberally of the leafy vegetables, such as cabbage, lettuce, spinach, cauliflower, Swiss chard, Brussels sprouts, turnip tops, dandelions, and beet tops. Lack of the vitamins in human beings interferes greatly with nutrition. Headaches and more serious troubles result. The lack of vitamins in the animal diet shows part of the deficiency that surfaces, and the same deficiency may cause sorrow among human beings. The vitamins are a real help to the skin of animals and to the complexion of human beings. HAS STRANGE TOMB There is no stranger tomb in England, a correspondent of the New York "Times" says, than that of Sir Richard Burton, the famous traveler, in the cemetery at Mortlake, a white marble, and is fashioned as a altar. He is a crucifix. Within is an altar, and Mr. Thomas Wright in his Life of Burton completes the picture thus: "Sir Richard's sarcophagus lies to one's left, and on the right has since been placed the coffin of Lady Burton, while over all hang ropes and chains. He also struck give out the old metallic sound that Sir Richard heard so often in the desert." Models Are Startling PARIS.—Starting the are the new spring models of dresses and costumes for women seen in Paris dressmaking establishments. Envious of the success achieved by stage costumers in showing dresses made up of two distinct colors leading dressmakers are bringing out dresses one-half of which will be in color, red and green, and the other half of another color, green. Some of the dresses will be divided up in quarters and each quarter will be of a different color. Some striking combinations of colors have been shown and costumers anticipate a big success.

(93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall lynching from prosecution for homi- cide 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, or imprisoned 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. Mised by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Alkron 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. IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON- TEND, 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 even 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 to all people, long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right— Not a sacrifice, even though you go down. They count not the cost, who fight the good fight, And unflinchingly face the sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning. Appetizing! Appetizing!

"I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds to gether more baseness, cruelty or nomination than any other sort of error in the world." THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.
