Pete Willett playing a star game, the Central high school basketball team defeated University school, 22/ to 16, on the U. S. floor, last Friday. Willett scored six field goals and made four free throws, his work practically winning the game for Central. At the end of the first period the University school five was leading 13 to 8, but in the second half the Central five pulled into the lead and soon increased it to safe proportions. Metzger and Lucas starred for University school. Acme Vanguish Vandals Atlantic City, N. J.—The A. C. Vandals, one of the fastest basketball teams in the east, thought they had "easy meat" when they encountered the Cleveland Acmes, here, last Wednesday night, but were treated to a rude, awakening for the Ohio boys gave them a neat trimming by a 38- to 32 score. Wonderful guarding by Henderson and Walker and several remarkable basket throws by Elmer Reed of the Acmes featured the game, which was attended by a fair-sized crowd at Waltz Dream hall. Tuesday night at Germantown, Pa., the Acmes trampled all over the basketball club of that city, defeating them 29 to 14, with Johns leading the assault. Monday night at Baltimore, the Ohioans lost a hard-fought game to the Athenians, 29 to 21, with Hampton playing a great game for Acmes. A. B. G.'s Leader Dead Indianapolis, Ind.—C. I. Taylor, owner and manager of the A. B. C. club, this city's representative in our greater National Baseball league, died at his home here, last Thursday morning. He was 47 years old and was born in Anderson, N. C. Taylor had been sick two weeks with penumonia and for the last few days had shown the same fighting, qualities that made him famous as a baseball manager, but a sudden change for the worse brought about the end. "C. I.", as he was popularly called, started as a manager at Birmingham, Ala., where he was, ten years. Later, he operated the Spruedls at West Baden Ind, taking over the local team in 1914 Taylor had a large billiard hall here. He is survived by a wife, three sisters and five brothers. Ben Taylor will take --- over the management of the A. B. C.'s. Timely Notes. Fears Giants have signed "Drag" Summers, "Buster" Claxton, Jim Reele and Tex Barnett, who make a most promising looking outfield. The Acmes got a rousing reception from a large crowd at Eagles hall, Monday night. They easily defeated the Pyramid five, 47 to 22. Hampton and Johns featured for the winners. The Premiers defeated the Elyrians, 24 to 10. The Colonial Girls lost to the Stacels, 9 to 4. The Tokalons are in southern Ohio on a three-day trip, playing in Springfield, Dayton and Xenia.

DOINGS OF THE RACE According to the latest census, Ohio Afro-Americans, own 1053 farms, totaling 55,526 acres, 41,170 of which are improved land. Total value, $4,173,124. There are 527 Afro-American tenant farmers, who are renting 40-353 acres, 31,712 of which are improved land. Total value is $4,215,998, says the latest census reports. The N. A.: A. C. P. announces that it has spent $35,000 in its ten-year fight on lynching. That is very little more than the organization pays its secretaries, DuBois, Johnson, White, Bagnall and Pickens, each year. Latest Japanese insult to Americanism is that Jokiu Furuki, a Japanese girl, has been chosen valedictorian of her class at the Oakland, Cal., high school, in competition with American pupils. What effrontery it is for students of the Japanese, Chinese, Nagro and other lowly and despised races to go right into our schools and colleges and take honors away from our poor ignorant white students. A law will have to be passed on the subject, or something done.—Ex. The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, passed in the lower house of the Congress, recently, is not the N. A. A. C. P. bill, first drawn and presented to Congressman Dyer but a new bill drafted by the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives, says the N. Y. Nation; Oswald Garrison Villard, editor. Like Tennyson's Brook, "Charlie" Anderson, of New York. (an "Ohio boy"), seems destined to ripple along forever. We notice that he was largely in evidence at the annual concert and ball of the 15th Inf. N. Y. N.

Smith E. 86th St., who completed 25 years of service in the police department of the city of Cleveland on the 20th of last month, now is eligible to go on the police pension roll whenever he may ask it. This recalls the days of Mayor Robert E. McKisson who appointed both "Charlie" Smith and John E. Chaffin, the same day, for the editor of The Gazette, giving the former the position, he still holds as secretary to the chief of police. In those days "civil service" in Cleveland was a "joke". The examinations were held for the purpose of getting rid of those who took them and were unfortunate, enough to Robert E. McKisson not have a political "pull" Congratulations. "Charlie." We are sorry that our other good friend, "Big John" Chaffin, is not in good health but at home ill. Best wishes, always, however, to you both. H. C. S. LESLIE M. SHAW ON THRIFT.

CENTRAL BATH HOUSE NOTES March 6 Miss Edna Chaple, 2506 Central Ave., will give a birthday party. The hall is being beautifully decorated.

Next Monday evening, Ward 11 Central Body will hold its first meeting in the Central Ave. bathhouse. All members are requested to as- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Should Be a Standard for the Ministry, Says Dr. Byrd, Educationally and Morally-Stand and Fight! Young Men. Dear Dr. Byrd: I read some time ago your article in The Cleveland Gazette on emotional preaching. I desire to thank you for it. I was once a member of the Baptist church but as the condition you described was so manifest in the church I could no longer remain in it. There are a few educated and well meaning preachers but the majority of them are ignorant. They depend on noise, bible-heating and sing-song foolishness to arouse the ignorant worshippers to yelling, meaning and fits. I am convinced that the Negroes in America, under the Baptist ministry, are going backward. Is there any way to compel preachers to be educated? Would you use your pen to bring about such a law? I am distressed more since I had a talk with a Methodist man and he told me even the majority of Methodist bishops are uneducated and about many of them-nasty immoral charges are rumored and circulated. Our race must have a decent ministry or we are lost. Everybody here delights to read your great writings and we hope you will not let up on the colored leaders until they become what they should be. We cannot get recognition by intelligent races until our preachers are worth while. Respectfully yours The above letter speaks for itself. In our writing we do not attack any denomination or creed but we hold ourselves open so as to cooperate with all religious bodies in belonging about such reforms as will aid in the development of the race. Mr. McBride makes some sweeping statements touching the_church of which he was once a member. His information, touching Methodist bishops seems to be very unfortunate—if it is true. We are sorry to admit that some things he has heard seem to be considered true. The race needs the best clergy in every respect that is in America. Imperial men, have no business preaching for any people and their followers must suffer infinite loss in following them. One of the most intelligent and spiritual churches, I have worshipped in, was a Baptist church and the pastor of that church maintained a deorum in every thing that was uplifting and benevolent. Not far from him were other churches of his faith whose worship smooth promptly at 8 p.m. Mrs. E. B. Mayo, sec. Hon. Harry C. Smith, pres. With尔 Hayes was host to about twenty-five couples, Saturday night, when the Star Athletic club entertained. Dancing, etc. Last week Tuesday evening, Mrs. Bonepard and Mrs. Washington entertained the Coteries club. Whist and dancing. About fifty persons attended. Friday night, one of the most beautiful affairs of the season was given by Miss Helen Wynne of 6801 Euclid Ave., when she entertained with a masked carnival. The hall was decorated in orange and black, the evening's prevailing color scheme. Sixty boys and girls enjoyed the pleasures of the evening which included a delicious luncheon. Hatchies' orchestra and trio furnished excellent music. Matrons: Mrs. A. E. Wynne, Mrs. George Bendy, Mrs. Richard Henry, assisted by Meyers, M. S. Swayze, W. J. Lamison and A. E. Wynne, Misslara Dougherty sang the "Rosary." Reception for Superintendent Reception for Superintendent Tuesday night, friends and former workers of the present superintendent of the bath-house, Julius C. Johnson, will give a reception in his honor. It is hoped to have it eclipse all social functions ever held in the bath-house. Invitations have been mailed to nearly one hundred couples. Dancing and a fine luncheon. On Wednesday night, the Swan club will give a select dancing party. Thursday night, the Social Friend club will "hold forth" with cards and dancing. The floor has been gone over and rewaxed and is proving very pleasing to those who have tripped "the light fantastic" there in the last few weeks. WACO, Tex. - Just 937 new members were taken into the Ku Klux Klan at a recent meeting here and 250 other members were signed up, but could not be taken in, that evening, because of lack of room. More than 700 candidates were initiated into Capital City chapter of the Ku Klux Klan at Austin, the town evening. About 1,500 persons attended the initiation.

IN UNION IS STRONG THE COPY FIVE CENTS Signorant Ministry! and Methodists Say their Clergy. the Ministry, Says Dr. Byrd, rally—Stand and Fight! g Men. was a reflection on the civilization of the race and the nation. We feel like Mr. McBride that there should be a standard for the ministry. Educationally, he should be the leader in his community. Morally, he should be an example for his community. Without regard to any particular denomination, our churches suffer greatly. Educated business man, professional men and the like either taboo the church because of the unpreparedness of the ministry or they unite with the church simply for financial and business reasons. The day of the bible-beating, ranting and emotional harranguer has passed. Our worshippers that desire such an exhibition of foolishness should be taught better. Educated young people of all creeds rebel against such idiotic foolishness. Churches that call and maintain such preachers must suffer in the esteem of thinking people of every race. Mr. McBride, possibly would be of more service had he remained in the Baptist church and fought against the things he now complains of. Young men don't run, but stand your ground and fight! VICTORY will ultimately crown your efforts. We shall aid you all we cap. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur T. Abbott, E. 96th St., have as guest his daughter, Mrs. Corn Noil, East Orange, N. J. Mrs. Abbott has been ill several days. It is said Mrs. Lethia Fleming is back of the movement to organize among our women a Federated Political league for Cleveland. A large audience heard Mrs. J. Powell Jones, organist, and Miss Florence Wasson, soprano soloist, assist St. John's choir, Sunday afternoon, in their fourth musicale at the church. Every program number was artistically rendered and warmly received. The Old Folk's home report, for last year, is: Receipts, $5,420.24; disbursements, $5 258.96; balance on hand, $161.28. The home is one of the beneficiaries of the Community Chest. With times so dull, expenses so high and money so hard to get, our people should be very slob about joining new lodges and other organizations which increase their expenses. Save your money. Mrs. Alex O. Taylor returned, last week, from Scotsburg, Va. Her mother who was critically ill upon her arrival, died week before last. Mrs. Taylor has the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends and acquaintances in this community. Rev. H. H. Upthegrove, pastor of the Collinwood A. M.

MARCH 4, 1922 Interest abroad in the Genoa conference seems to have waned since it became doubtful if the United States would send delegates to the meeting. There is more than a suspicion that the European nations are less anxious to help themselves than they are to prevail upon the United States to extend them further aid in one way or another. Speaking of the old Hotel Stillman, some years ago, located in Euclid Ave. near E. 9th St., Cleveland, Mr. Howle, an old employee of the hotel, recalled the coming of Henry M. Stanley, the great African explorer, and his charming bride, Dorothy Tennant, from England years ago, and the amusing predication brought about by the fact that the little native boy who accompanied Stanley from the Kongo, was refused service in the Stillman dining room. The matter was finally settled by the little guest dining with the Stanleys in their own apartment. An English gentleman and lady thus showed their contempt for dampholm American prejudice. Some day this country, the prejudiced ones, at least, will learn better. THE MOST EQUITABLE PLAN If a bonus bill is to be enacted, the suggestion of President Harding as to the means for its payment are the most sensible yet heard. A sales tax would distribute the burden far more impartially than could any other sort of levy. Every other suggested tax has been directed against a special industry, a special class of our citizens, or special forms of wealth. The sales tax, on the other hand, would take from each citizen an amount substantially equivalent to his debt to the former service men. Of course the public cannot escape ultimate payment of the bonus by a sales tax or by any other economic contrivance. The people must pay the bill in any case; it is merely a question of what plan is the most equitable distribution of the burden. "STAR'S BABIES STILL CRYING!" It is really amusing to hear the "FitzGerald - Maschke - 'Starlight'-Fleming" Negroes whine 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, incidentally, work up a feeling of resentment among 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" spewing out their miserable abuse and contemptable lies in their vain effort to relect Mayor FitzGerald (and Tom). Nor did they spare Candidates Kohler, Hinchliffe and others. All "looked alike to them," when it came to "gutter and sewer" campaigning methods, except their beloved 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, NOI but because, they say, "Colored men are not being appointed to all the places they 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 whiners and yowlers are busily working. They even tried to insist the support of "The Old Relieled" 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 know that most of that "say" is "bunk," pure and simple, and is not fooling anybody, particularly the mayor. Nearly all Negroes in Cleveland, last November, voted for FitzGerald, Hinchlife and Haserodt, and every one of us know this. So where do these "Fitz-Machke-"Starlight"-Fleming Negro-ex job holders the nerve to try to work up a feeling against Mayor Kohler 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 editor of The Gazette, who represented the peoples' cause in Ward 11, one cannot help but feel that the "powers" 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. 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 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 the office at the same time and still Maschke would not give us the representation we were entitled to. Attty, 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? FLEMING AND THE BATHHOUSE Council Thomas W. Fleming recently introduced in the city council a resolution for the issue of $100,000 worth of bonds for) the enlargement of the Central Ave. bath-house. If it passes, it will mean the addition of a gymnasium and swimming pool which are badly needed for the boys and girls of that section, and which Fleming should have had provided for when the bath-house was authorized by the council. Just as was charged during last fall's campaign by the editor of The Gazette, Fleming sat mute in the council, several years ago, the night $100,000 were provided for, to build the Central Ave. bath-house "in a Colored neighborhood" (in his neighborhood, of ward 11), and $200,000 were appropriated for a bath-house for poor whites out St. Clair Ave. E. which contains about 35 showers," $ large gymnasium, swimming pool and everything else that would and did make it an up-to-date bathouse. (The Central Ave. bath- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MARCH 4, 1922. house has a few "showers," anyhow.) O, Tom! how could you? ORGANIZATION H GERMAN STEEL PRODUCTION On the basis of four months exports the Department of Commerce estimates the foreign sales of German steel products for the calendar year 1921 was 2150,000 tons, or but 150,000 tons short of the exports from the United States. England is a poor third with 1,650,000 tons of exports. "Germany and the United States are close competitors for first place in the volume of steel products exported for 1921," says a Dearment. "Both countries lead the race with estimated export of over 2,000,000 tons each for the 12 months just ended, but which actually wins depends upon the accuracy with which the records are reported, and must await the publication of the accomplished facts." On the basis of the figures which the department has been able to secure "it seems evident that German steel exports were greater in the last third of the year and any increase at the end can be considered as balancing the small trade in the first third of the year. A total estimated annual tonnage of 2,150,000 seems reasonably moderate. It is estimated from German sources that the production of pig iron in 1921 was between 6,500,000 and 7,500,000 tons and that of steel between 8,000,000 and 9,000,000 tons (figures for 1920 being 5,500,000 and 7,700,000 respectively). At least one-fourth of the output, therefore, was probably exported." This country has recently been apprised of the fact that German scissors, and shears have been coming in at 14 cents a pair to the importers, German pocket-knives at 11 ents and German razors at 16 cents. Many other commodities of steel from Germany show similar import prices. The importers are sticking the American public for all they can get when they sell these goods over the counters, and this is pretty good argument to show that the consumer gets little advantage from a low tariff, while the American producer finds his product out of his home market. For these reasons the tariff bill now peeling can not be passed any too quickly. Bert Williams. "Stricken" BERT WILLIAMS "Surcken" Detroit, Mich., March 1.—Engagements of Bert Williams, widely-known comedian, were cancelled for an indefinite period today, owing to Williams' illness. Physicians who examined the comedian after his collision not serious, but advised his manager to cancel the remainder of the season's tour. The real truth is Williams' play, "Under the Bamboo Tree," like his company, supporting actors (white), is "third rate," and his songs (in the play) not up to his usual standard. This all the Cleveland daily newspaper critics, friends of Williams, agreed when the play was there, last week. The attendance there, as here, was poor. The comedian was poor on the Bamboo Tree" on the road. A poor play and a "third rate" company, proved too heavy a load for even America's greatest comedian to carry in these dull times. A. K. K. K. Candidate Gainesville, Texas.—Sterling P. Strong, (white), of Dallas, democratic candidate for the U. S. senate, opened his campaign here, recently, by declaring he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan in Texas and believes in all that the order stood for. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. 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 advertise 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." ORGANIZATION HAS POWER IN CAPITAL Farmers, Labor Unions and Ex-Soldiers Are Strongest Bodies. ALL SECURE LEGISLATION Agriculturists Regarded as Most Influential of All—Its Representatives Hold Almost Daily Meetings and Many Bills Favorable to Tillers of the Soll Have Been Passed. WASHINGTON.—The power of organized groups of citizens is becoming stronger in congress. The farmers, labor unions and war veterans are especially forceful in the halls of the national law making body. Representative Theodore E. Burton views the tendency with displeasure because it tends to lessen the strength of party alignment. The agricultural group is regarded as one of the most influential in the senate now. Its meetings have been attended by twenty-two senators, representing farmer states of the middle and the far west. The group is committed to a program of legislation to benefit the farming community of the nation through agricultural loans from the government, better marketing conditions and the elimination of stock exchange gambling. Senator William S. Kenyon of Iowa and Arthur Capper of Kansas are regarded as the leaders of the "agrarian bloc" in the upper branch of congress, while Representative Gilbert N. Haugen of Iowa, chairman of the house agricultural committee, is an influential leader in the other branch. The members of this group have been holding most daily meetings and balls which they agreed to support already have been passed by one or both houses in the present session of congress. The labor group and the agriculture group are overlapping in their membership. Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin, Senator Edwin F. Ladd of North Dakota, and Senator George W. Norris are obrushs the Republicans or whom party ties rest lignify, are members of both those groups, as is Senator Kenyon and a number of others. California takes an active place in the leadership of the labor groups in the two houses. Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California is one of the outspoken defenders of organized labor in the senate and Representative John L. Nolan of the same state is leader of the labor group in the lower house. The "ex-service men's group" in the house is led by Representative Royal C. Johnson of South Dakota, who was a captain in the White War and was wounded while in Iraq aboard. (This group) played no part in prevailing upon congress in its last session to appropriate more than $20,000,000 for the construction of government hospitals to care for disabled veterans of the war. It is now actively backing soldier bonus legislation for all veterans. Senator Porter J. Mcumber of North Dakota, ranking Republican member of the senate franco committee, has assumed leadership for the senate franco committee. The ex-service men's group is making its influence felt in a variety of ways in congress, and it is believed here that its power will grow as the years advance, just as the influence of the Grand Army of the Republic grows years after the Civil War and is making itself felt now when the great majority of the veterans of that war have gone. Hobo Has Departed. CINCINNATI—James Fads How of St. Louis, millionaire hoo and founder of the International Brownwood Welfare Association with headquarters in Cincinnati, has let for Russia. How has crossed the ocean eight times, but this is the first time that he has not "worked" his passage. "On all his previous trips, now, despite his wealth, retreated to ride on the ships as a regular passenger, but instead of working as a water, disin washer or potato peeler," said Klein. "But when he recently told me he was going to Russia I bought a second class ticket for him — was sure he would not travel first class and sent it to him at new York. "On one occasion my mother traveled in state on a ship on when her son was peeing potatoes down below. He is going to Russia to investigate countless there." Feather Shoes Popular. PARIS.—The latest paris style is leather shoes, announced for next fall. Evening shoes are to have toes tipped with little primes and paradise feathers are to be on the buckles. The modistes' journals are already speculating on where so many of the needed feathers will come from if the new style 'takes over'. They will be solved, as was the problem of how to get all the monkey fur which last winter, it was thought, would be needed for trimming this summer's costumes. It was said that not enough monkeys would be available, and this was right. However, "monkey fur" to only a slight degree now comes from monkeys. A well known barnyard fowl probably will be called upon to furnish the "rare feathers for next fall's shoes." That, however, does not mean that the prices will be higher on current quotations for chicken feathers. CURAS RAPS President Suggests Big Reduction in Annual Budget. HAVANA.—Drastic financial measures looking to economy in governmental administration, constitutional reforms, including election of the president by direct vote, and mea- peds by which the government can aid banking institutions to rise from the present chaos to normality are **Included in the recommendations of President Alfredo Zayas.** Economy measures include the reduction of the proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 from a total of approximately $135,000,000 to between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000. With the figures fixed at the last named sum the president declared the republic retain the surplus of about $6,000,000 from the estimated income available. The constitutional reforms advocated include: Non-re-election of the president; election of the president by direct vote of the people; abolition of the rule for a two-thouser quorum in both houses of congress before sessions can be opened; creation of a federal district, to be governed by a commission, to include Havana and near-air sources; abolition of the constitutional republic, leaving them liable to prosecution for certain major crimes and offenses; authorization for larger cities to organize a new form of municipal government. TRIM CONGRESSMEN. Putting on Gymnasm for Use of Nations Lawmakers. WASHINGTON.—Three hundred-pound congressmen with equator waist lines soon will be in the "perfect thirty-six" class. At least, they expect to be, judging from promises made to them by congenues who have equipped a gymnasium at the Capitol. A letter sent to the representatives today announced that Sargent, a former FOIA officer in the United States marine corps is to be the physical director of the congressmen. "The Swedish system of physical exercise under the eye and touch of one who knows is at your disposal for nothing." the letter reads. "It will make fat men lean and it will make lean men strong." "It will make hot days seem cool and it will tie a can to sleepless nights and lost appetites." "It will drive away that drowsy feeling and the grouch will be no more." "Classes will be formed in handball, medicine ball, setting up exercise elephant tennis." "Serret. Forse is thoroughly qualified to give you a pleasant bounce on the wrestling mat or with boxer slaves." So if the congressman comes back home with a cauliflower ear and carrot, "Lead me to Jack Dempsey," you'll know he's been training in the house "gym."

If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very unhappy by them, and by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.-George W. Blount. Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education—in all phases of education. I believe, as we know, in all the learned and useful professions. But somehow. I feel that the Negro, like the rest of mankind, must earn to work out 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.

Chaney as one of the engineers of the Central Ave. Bathhouse was made because he had been active in their support of the mayor's candidacy, last fall, and not because Mr. Chaney was a son-in-law of Mrs. Hattie Fairfax, who was a Fleming supporter, as intimated in the Cleveland correspondence of to Each Other Like This? the Chicago Defender, recently. As is generally known in Ward 11 Mr. and Mrs. Chaney were also active in their support of the people's candidate (Harry C. Smith) for the city council in that ward. Mr. Chaney showed good judgment in accepting the appointment and is apparently filling the position to the satisfaction of all concerned. The employment committee of the American Legion on Monday sent out a new kind of appeal. It asked that all unemployed ex-service men who would like to be aided to jobs by the legion register their names with the committee. The call was the result of a boom in jobs which has been evident for a week in calls coming to the legion from employers. Twenty to twenty-five men have been placed daily for the last week, as compared with five to seven daily previously during the winter. If the calls keep coming in at the present rate we believe we can provide a job for every man that wants one," L. P. Wolfford, secretary of the legion county council, said, Monday.

Suit against the commissioners of (Cleveland) Cuyahoga county for $1,000 damages incurred in a shooting affray during the recent milk strike here will be brought under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Anti-Mob statute on behalf of Frank Kuchiecki, (white), 3737 E. 63rd St., wounded by a pistol shot Dec. 8, at Cedar Ave, and 35th St. The commissioners were informed of the prospective suit, last week Wednesday, by Lamb, Vaughan & Lamb, who in a letter said the law mentioned holds commissioners responsible for any damage in the county they supervise. Atty. T. D. Lamb said suit would also be brought against the Telling-Belle Vernon Company on behalf of his firm's client. The commissioners turned the case over to Asst. Co. Prosecutor Thobaben. 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 example if more missioners serve 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. Brower, in order that the greatly deleted 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 having 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 ATTENTION, FARMERS AND OTHERS! Mid-winter days give many opportunities for reading not afforded by warmer weather. Senator Frank B. Willfs 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, be will send you as many of the bulletins as you are available for distribution. These bulletins, which are of a very high grade, contain much information of interest and value. 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 suggestion of Rt. Rev. C. H. Phillips, the presiding bishop of this district of the C. M. E. Church. On Feb. 8, 2008, he appealed to the M. E. Bishop's Council to session 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? FIND WOMAN RECLUSE. Lived in Secluded Room in Heart of Ohio City. COLUMBUS.—For fifteen years an aged woman has made her home in a room on the top floor of a High street business building in Columbus, almost opposite the capitol. The affairs of a city of a quarter of a million passed underneath her window, grimy and dust encrusted. Twentieth century traffic hurried along the busiest street in Columbus, while behind the dirty window pane she lived after the manner of a hemmit in a cave. Her retreat was found when painters peered into the window. For days the rooms inhabitant was watched for. Late. Had his sigh been to securify on the stairs. Police found an unkept room, cobwebbed and filthy. In a corner was a pile of dirty rags, the aged woman's bed. She told officials she had lived in the room for fifteen years without paying rent. She left it, she said, before dawn and returned at midnight, and ever saw her come or go; her existence was suspected but not known. Will Remove Fortune MONTEREY, Mex.—Application has been made to the Mexican government by Adam Fisher of San Antonio for a concession to remove gold and silver bars and Spanish silver dollars to the value of approximately $73,000,000 from a cave situated in Saddle mountain, which overlooks Monterey. Fisher claims to have discovered this hidden treasure recently after a search which covered several years. He asserts that he was led to take up the search by the discovery of an ancient document among the government archives at Saltillo, which showed that in 1810 a fortune of gold and silver was hidden in Cavallo Blanco by government officials during a revolution. Fisher counted the bullion and money when he discovered the hoard. He says it consists of 8,646 gold bars, 4,560 silver bars and seven one-half million dollars of octagonal Spanish silver pieces.

The Southern Mire! “The Savages of the South” Apparently Still Have Him— The Old Lie About the Cause of Lynchings— ‘Bullock and Canada, Etc. Harding at Home; Wilson Abroad. (Special to THE GAZETTE) Jersey City, N. J.—The Dyer bill has passed the lower house of Con- gress. Tt must now meet southern opposition in the U. S. Senate. The Dyer bill is not a Negro bill, but one, drawn by the judiciary ‘com- mittee of the House of Representa- tives, 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 col- cored people are. Negroas suffer most from the unbridled reign of mob law and anarchy for they are the principle ones that dic in this manner. Whites suffer more mor- ally 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 it gi children until they stain their’ hearts and hands in human blood. The apology of William Jen- nings Bryan for lynching is’ the most cowardly surrender of a once high governmental pfficial to the worst evil in America that any gen- eration has seen, To say that lynching exists because colored men attack white women, is to belle 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 lle, But to maintain a brutal sway over an oppressed people, these liars pay no heed to the castigations of conaclence nor to the righteous ver- dict 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 na- tions of the earth. Pity the south that contends for the retention of lynching. Pity the south that must dear 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 raco in this country, but ft wit damn America if it is not passed, e In presenting to the Senate the treaties agreed upon at the Arma- ment 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 en- cumbrance, but the plea gained no eredence 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 informe- ton to give him it called for. Neith- er directly nor indirectly did he take the advice of the Senate nor eep the Senate informed gs to the steps he was taking. Moreover, it having been reported that President ‘Wilson intended to incorporate in the peace treaty the league of ne- tlons covenant, thirtynine 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 con- tinued in his determination to inter- weave the ledgue 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 agree ments with which the Senate. dis- ‘agreed. No such methods were pur- sued by President Harding. Instead ‘of going personally as a delegate RECORD IN CLIMBING. ‘The world’s record in mountain climbing is held by the Duke of th: Abruzzi, who climbed 24,600 feet up the sides of Mount Godwin-Au- sten in the Himalayas, though he tailed to reach thp mountain's sum- mit, This record may soon be ex- celled by the prospective British ex- pedition which is to attempt the as- Sent of Mount Evertst, the world’s highest mountain, estimated to be 29,141 feet high. “Amon: women mountain-climbers, Mrs. Fanny Bul- jock-Workman holds the record in er ascent of 23,300 feet on one ot the Nun Kun peaks in India.

Poor William Jennings Bryan! he has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. Between his lectur- ing on Darwin, running for the Presidency and then flopping over to southern brutality to get into the U. 8. Senate, he has made himself a nuisance in the sight of every- body. He may yet lead a mob. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd to the Conference he appointed four ot the ablest men in’ the United States, two of them members of the Senate and leaders of their respec- tive political parties. ‘These four men in constant cansultation 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#lim- itation 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 Président Harding's positipn was much stronger than that of Presi- dent Wilson. At the same time that he submitted the treattes to the Sen- ate 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 agree- ments 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 tha box and even at this late date only such por- tions as an editor acting under the direction of Mr. Wilson saw fit to make known through the columns of a limited number of newspapers.

He even ventures the opinion tha. the electri- fied particles thrown off by the sun during the disturbance, may assist in the development of vegetation and reduce the amount of dust held Suspended in the atmosphere, Sir Oliver says the magnetic dis- turbances that attended the solcr eruption were due to a torrent of electrified particles, which consti- tuted a giantic electric current.

Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eat- ing house, barber-shop, public con- veyance 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 eglor, the full enjoyment of the ac- commodations, advantages. facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined net less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty a nor more than ninety days, or bol See, 12941.

Misled by the foolishly manufac- tured outery for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Ak- ron Beacon Journal published an edi- torial to which the editor of The Ga- zette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights Jaw 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, 0., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your let- ter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, 4 venture to send you, under a sep- arate 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, de- cided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for '($500) five hundred ‘dollars was sustained. If the Beacon- Journal kad known what was going op in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OBIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and fries, in administering it, Not, word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very traly yours, C. RB. Grant. IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “al- ways will be discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- tion, and are winning even s0- gial rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than sub- mit. ‘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 na- ture without self-respect and have no “guts.” ‘The world re- spects only those who resent and resist prosetiptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abo- tionists, worthy cf our own fathers who have d'ed in every war to vindieate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however Jong. race discrimination may continue. To submit is to de- serve contempt. — Boston (Gias:.)
