THIRTY-NINTH YEAR—No. 32 One of Our Younger and Successful Editors "Takes His Pen in Hand"—Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Et. Al. IN UNION IS STRENGTH THIRTY-NINTH YEAR AN APPR Of Our Veteran "Strikes One of Our Younger and His Pen in Hand"—Fred T. Washing (By Editor Webster G. Porter) For the very first time during the many years that The News has been published, "The Boston Guardian," published by the inimitable William Monroe Trotter, reached our exchange table this week and we readily agree with the favorable comments that we have heard during the many years, that it is a worthy champion of the race's rights. William Monroe Trotter It so happened that Editor Harry C. Smith's Gleverland Gazette, was in the same mail, although we have been receiving "The Old Reliable" Gazette for quite some time, but the thought came to our mind as to the great service that these men—William Monroe Trotter, Harry C. Smith, T. Thomas Fortune, John Mitchell, William H. Steward and George L. Knox—have rendered this race of ours. The great sacrifices that these men have made in their efforts to champion the cause of the race of T. Thomas Fortune which they are members, during these many years, will never be known and the worth of their services cannot be estimated. Reference is made to the great services rendered by Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and other great Negro leaders and we would not for one moment attempt to minimize their great part in assisting the race to accomplish what has been accomplished; but if the struggles of the Negro publishers referred to above were related to a stenographer and caused Harry C. Smith. to appear in print, and the little evidences of appreciation on the part of those served by these men were told of; further, if the files of their papers, dating back for a time of more than a quarter of a century, could be reviewed and the things accomplished, that directly benefitted the race, could be noted, would be readily agreed by all that they are as much worthy of the highest honor and praise as any who have gone before. The time will come, during a period of more advanced civiliza- THE GAZETTE tion, that the efforts of the earnest Negro publisher will be appreciated. The selfish element of our group are denying the honor to those to whom it is due, in this time. A fund should be raised that would employ a stenographer for each of the veteran journalists that he might dictate a story of his own to the more modest circumstances, even though it required a trip to some sunny clime where he could recline mid beautiful flowers and after the story would have been completed, the fund should further provide for the printing of a handsome bound book that would adorn the shelf in the library of every Negro home in the American, further, it should be placed in the public schools to be studied by the youths of the race, thereby stimulating respect for worthy leadership. This recognition should be accorded them before it is too late, for at this time, the heads of many of them are growing white, even of our friend Harry Smith, and they haven't been protected, much less among us as they have spent in the past.—Knoxville East Tennessee News. WHITE WOMAN'S COLORED SONS Get Their Share of Their Father's Estate—An Unusual Case Topeka, Kan.-Melvin and James Nolting, colored sons of Mrs. Hattie Nolting, (white), were decreed to the owners each of an undivided one-fourth interest in the estate of James Holt, a member of the race, by a jury in Judge George Whitcomb's division of the district court, Mar. 8, '22. The two youths brought suit, through their mother, against Thomas Holt, son of James Holt by his Afro-American wife, annelie of Smith-Portland, Lacerta Barber, grand-daughters of James Holt. The youths claimed that James Holt, who died in 1919, was their father and that they were entitled to a share of his property. On the witness stand, Mrs. Nolting claimed the two boys as her sons and testified that she had been intimate with James Holt, upon whose farm in the northeastern corner of Shawnee county she worked for several years. Her husband (wife) and is still living although an invalid, she said. She declared that no one knew of her relations with Holt until the two babes were born. Photographs of Mr. and Mrs. Nolting and their seven children and of her two colored boys were introduced in evidence to prove to the jury that this was the case. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON Says He Could Get Flattering Po Italic Favors HU He Would Re- ceive Comfort WASHINGTON, D. C.—He enry Lincoln Johnson. Republican National Committeeman from Georgia, our only representative in that body, in a recent interview says: "As a member of the National Committee, I cannot denounce the Harding administration and remain a member of the committee. I am remaining a member of the Committee as a matter of principle. It is an open secret that I would be extended flattering political favors were I willing to resign from the committee. I have not been asked to resign from the committee, and not intend to resign. Am of the opinion that political troubles can be worked out to a better advantage, within the Republican party, without it. All others are entitled to their, personal opinions. President Harding has closed the first year of his administration. There are some things that have pleased us and I have been very frank in letting the President know that certain policies are not to our liking; and he has given us respectful hearing at all times. If we continue our drive within the party, there is still hope that eventually everything will work out all right. There comes times when we must look at matters in the broad view of Americans; and we must remember that we are not the only ones who have troubles. In being patient, we must not let up in being consistent for the right; we must use unselfish judgment, yet determined. To my people everywhere I send greetings, and assure them of my continued devotion to their best interests." Wisdom chapter, O. E. S., celebrated its second anniversary, recently, and presented its matron, Mrs. Lulu Mead Brown, who is serving her second year, with a beautiful Sheffield silver fruit bowl as a token of high esteem.

To Be Unveiled, Wednesday, at Tuskegee, the Work of a Great New York Artist HAMPTON, VA.—"Charles Keck, Sculptor"—these words appear inconspicuously on the artistic granite base of the great 8-foot bronze figure of the Booker T. Washington monument, which will be unveiled on April 5 at Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute. For three years Charles Keck (white) worked with Philip Martiny, a well-known sculptor of New York, who did some fine work for the World's Fair in Chicago. For five years he worked with Augustus St. Gaudens, while this famous sculptor was making his "Peter Cooper" for New York. His Robert Gould Shaw Monument for Boston, his "General Logan" for Chicago, his "The Field" for Philadelphia, and his "General Sherman" for New York. Mr. Keck has succeeded admirably in giving the world a statue of Booker T. Washington which is simple, forceful and enduring. Dr. Wallace Buttrick (white), president of the General Education Board, will deliver the Founders' Day address at Tuskegee. To Lead the Argument in Favor of the Constitutionality of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Moorfield Story, Esq. of Boston, and other eminent lawyers will appear before Senator Borah's U. S. Senate committee to argue in favor of the constitutionality of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill which has passed the House of Representatives. The Dyer bill is based upon Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Anti-Lynching law passed many years ago. Wade H. Ellis, Esq., former Ohioan and former Assistant U. S. Attorney General, and James A. Cobb, Esq., a member of the race, former Assistant U. S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, may also appear before the committee in behalf of the bill. A. Henry B. Tanner C. Picture A HENRY O. TANNER Picture. Pittsburgh, Pa.—The Carnegie Institute is sending a committee of artists, headed by Homer St. Gaudens, son of the illustrious sculptor, Augustus St. Gaudens, to Europe to bring back to this country a collection of pictures of the most representative artists of the world. This collection of 125 paintings will constitute the 21st international art exhibit, which will probably be exhibited at the museum of the country, after being exhibited here. Henry O. Tanner, our foremost artist who resides in Paris, is among the picked artists from France of American parentage. Tanner's new work which will probably be shown in the exhibit is a serious study of two eastern women, called "Sculptural Figures."

IN UNION IS STRENGTH The Mob Spirit Harry Lattimer Saved From It By the Supreme Court of Appeals of the State of West Virginia. (Special to The Gazette) Charleston, W. Va.—"The mob spirit dictated this conviction. The bloodthirsty mob spirit permeated the atmosphere of the trial and had its effect upon court and jury." He above quotation is from a unanimous opinion of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals written by Judge Foley Kelly and handed down, last week Tuesday, ordering a new trial of Harry Kittimer, convicted in the Circuit Court of Mingo County on the charge of raping an eight-year old white girl. Sept. 6, 1921. The same day he was arrested and within 24 hours had been indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced to be hanged and was on his way to the state penitentiary, according to the records of the case. The reason for this exceedingly hurried conviction is apparent in the statement from the circuit court, which has been made part of the record. In this statement the judge said: "I am that feeling was running high against the court house and had some fear of mob violence being inflicted on the accused if speedy 'justice' were not met out to him by the court." Judicial Lynching. Judicial Lynching. Continuing, Judge Lively said, "The bloody death of the lynch perpetrated the atmosphere of the trial, and had its effect upon the court and jury. The defendant may be guilty; that does not concern us. But he is entitled to fair and impartial trial, to the calm, deliberate and uninfluenced judgment of his peers. Orderly and constituted governments demands such trial. It is a safeguard in which all members of society are interested and which should be jealously upheld and guarded. A judicial Lynching is a graver and more startling crime than a lynching by an irresponsable rabble. It undermines the foundation of orderly government and weakens respect for law and order. There should be no compromise with the spirit of Lynching for any crime. What is personal, and is not to be considered as reflecting upon the conduct of the officials in charge of the case. The circumstances may have impelled the choice of what was considered the lesser evil. The duty is therefore imperative on this court to annul the result brought about by a choice of evils, and to preserve to every member of society, however humble he may be, or however guilty he may be, the right of fair and impartial trial." In the syllabus in the case, Judge Lively said: "Where a person has been arrested for an alleged crime, committed on the day of the arrest, and on the day following is indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced to hang, and immediately taken to the penitentiary for that purpose, and it appears that he has been given no time to prepare his defense, was assigned counsel after he announced that he was ready for trial and pleaded guilty that he knew that feeling was running high against the accused in and about the court house, and that he had some fear of mob violence if inflicted upon the accused if a speedy trial was not had; and it appears that no witnesses were summoned for the defendant, no motion made for change of venue, improper evidence admitted on the trial without objection on the prisoner's part, and see below and temporarily defended interposed, the appellate court will set aside the verdict and award the prisoner a new trial, because he has not been accorded a fair and impartial trial." T. Edward Hill. Macedonia, O.—Our neighborhood was shocked as never before when they heard, Thursday morning, that Hobart Smith was dead from a bullet wound inflicted by Karl Kates (white). As Hobart and another young man of the race were returning home, Wednesday night, from prayer meeting, they met Kates and a friend of his (white). A quarrel ensued over a dog. The result was, Kates shot Hobart, killing him instantly but Hobart had shot Kates twice. He was taken to the hospital, but died the next morning. So both are dead over a dog. It still lives.

APRIL 1, 1922 A writer in the Canadian Magazine estimates that the loss in wages in 1921 on account of strikes amounted to $2,360,000,000. That is sufficient to give $2,000,000 men a year's work at a wage of $100 per month. --- Thirty-one nations in addition to the British dominions, are to be represented at the Genoa conference. In numbers the meeting is highly reminiscent of the gatherings of the league of nations, and all of the countries at Genoa are members of the league. Of course the purposes that actuate the league will also govern the deliberations of the present conference. Happily the United States is free from it all. --- Federal officials estimate that more than $100,000,000 will be spent this year on the construction of public roads. Congress recently appropriated $75,000,000 to aid the states in their building programs. The money will be allotted to such States as appropriate an amount equal to the Federal aid they receive. About 100,000 workers will receive employment for a year; in fact, it was the desire of Congress to relieve the unemployment situation that hastened the passage of the good roads bill. --- The Treasury Department is proceeding steadily with its plan for refunding obligations of some $6,000,000,000 that fall due in the next 15 months.

If no unforeseen financing program is put upon the Treasury there is every reason to believe that the future will see no disturbance of fiscal conditions. --- NOW. TO WORK With Senator Smoot and Congressman Burton declared eligible for membership on the debt refunding commission, that body may speedily organize and commence the task of converting into negotiable form the $11,000,000,000 worth of foreign obligations we now hold. Certain individuals, both here and abroad, persist in their declarations that the debts cannot be paid and should be wiped off the books, but no responsible government will take the initiative in repudiating its promises to pay. It is highly probable, that a very few months will see all the debts adjusted and arrangements made for regular payments of both interest and principal installments. --- CLEVELAND'S FIRST "GAZETTE Unlike "The Old Reliable" Gazette which is nearing its fortieth year, published every week on time, too. Cleveland's first newspaper, also named The Gazette (and Commercial Register), was a weekly and its life was short and uneventful. The first issue was published on July 31, 1818, and the last on March 21, 1820. Andrew Logan (white), said to have been one of the famous Mingo chief's descendants, was the editor who made the experiment. He believed in Cleveland. He thought it should have a newspaper. And having enlisted the aid of C. V. J. Hickox (white), as a fellow publisher, he acquired some second-hand type and a well-worn hand press in Pennsylvania and brought them to Cleveland. But the difficulties encountered were many and, after an ambitious battle, the paper was suspended. As well placed in Editor Webster L. Porter's splendid article, published elsewhere in this paper today, it is not necessary to A GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE Ohio Republicans seem determined to continue (until near election day) ignoring the more than 125,000 Afro-American voters in this state. They do not seem to think, even yet (in the face of their experience of two years ago), that our people are entitled to any other consideration except that which comes after they have nominated all their candidates (white) for the various offices being sought and "the colored brother" is needed to help elect them. Two years ago, the editor of The Gazette, with the backing of our people of this state, tried his best, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, to make Ohio Republicans see the importance of treating us differently and, as a result, according us greater consideration and some recognition. Those 61,081 votes we received, two years ago, was a warning which, it seems, has not been taken seriously enough. Four years ago, the Hon. Frank B. Willis was nominated as the Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, receiving but 45,000 votes. Two years ago the editor of The Gazette received 61,081 votes as a Republican candidate for Secretary of State; over 15,000 more votes than Mr. Willis received in 1918. Remember there are more than 125,000 Afro-American voters in Ohio and then draw your own conclusions. Since it is perfectly clear to all of our thoughtful that we must become active in our own behalf, at a proper time, and stop waiting on the "other fellow" to voluntarily give us what we have so long been entitled to and kept out of without any encouraging outlook, don't you think it about time for us to begin to try to help ourselves? Remember! the Lord helps those who helps themselves! We thought so, two years ago, and are still in the same "frame of mind." THINK! refer to the many and varied and added "difficulties enountered" by the writer, in the last thirty-nine years, in the publication of The Gazette. It will not take a very vivid imagination for any of our readers to reach a conclusion as to them. --- FORD AND HIS TRACTORS We hold no brief for Henry Ford, and yet we feel impelled to say a few words in his defence against the criticisms of an Oklahoma farmer. This farmer complains that some three years ago he bought a Fordson tractor and plows for which he paid $1050, and that recently Mr. Ford reduced the price of the tractor to 395. f. o. b., with the result that the tractor which he purchased had diminished in value some $500. He intimates that the reduction in wages and cost of material do not account for any such difference in price of the finished commodity and, therefore, Mr. Ford must have been profiteering at the former price. It is quite likely true that Mr. Ford formerly sold his tractors at a higher price than necessary. Certain it is that he has made enormous profits, for, according to his own assertion, he could now sell his business for something like a billion dollars, whereas seventeen years ago he was practically penniless. But we can hardly agree with people who assert that the accumulation of so much wealth in so short a time is conclusive evidence of improper profiteering. Along with his accumulation of wealth Mr. Ford has rendered a valuable service to the nation. He should not be begrudged the results of his initiative and business ability. It is the possibility of winning such large rewards that acts as the stimulus to induce men to venture into uncertain undertakings. Where a few men have won large returns, many others have failed and have lost all their investment. Assuming that there was no unfair treatment of his associates or rivals, Mr. Ford's success was due to the exercise of sound judgment, the possession of ability, devotion to business, and thrift. He has used those qualifications and powers for his own financial profit. It is well for the American people to keep this fact in mind when judging of the action that should be taken by the Government relative to Mr. Ford's proposal to take over the Muscle Shoals power plant. Mr. Ford is not in business for his health. He is not inspired by altruism when he proposes a plan by which he shall become the operator of one of the greatest water powers in the United States. He is planning to add more millions to the Ford treasury. It is well, under such circumstances, that we have a good business man at the head of the War Department and THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O..

Ted Hanhary Top Scorer. Oberlin, O. — Teddy Hansbary, formerly of West Tech High school of Cleveland, and now a freshman at Oberlin college, was the individual star of the annual interclass indoor track meet, held here last Saturday afternoon. Hansbary scored a total of twenty points. He took first in the 25-yard dash, 25-yard low hurdle and shot put, second in the 25-yard dash, third in the 220-yard dash. The seniors won the meet with 35 points but so close was the competition that the sophomores, who finished last, totaled 25 points. good business men in control of Congress, for, because of this efficient representation of the interests of the Government, we have assurance that Mr. Ford's proposal will be judged from a purely business standpoint and the rights and welfare of the people will not be carelessly or ignorantly thrown away. BELGIUM DISGUSTED Belgium is another country which has had its fill of government ownership and operation of the railroads, over 90 per cent of which are thus controlled, or nearly 3,000 miles in an area somewhat less than that of Maryland. The 1922 Belgian budget recently submitted shows for railroads, telegraphs and postal systems, receipts of 1,142,175,000 francs, expenditure of France reported 490,000 francs, and expenditures for new works 237,830,000 francs. Not counting the last named, this gives a deficit of nearly 220,000,000 francs, of which the roads account for the greater portion. The expenditures for new works show a decrease of 152,000,000 francs compared with the previous year, in itself an evidence of retrogressive growth. France reported continuous losses from government ownership and operation of railroads, extending back to 1907, and a movement is now on foot to restrepire them to private control. England long since gave up the idea of state owned roads, and the United States has gone through an experience, the effects of which have not yet worn out. France will sign the pledge and say "never again." These are not very propitious times for the "Plumb Planners." Rev. Joshua Evans of St. James A. M. E. church and Rev. B. K. Smith of E. Mt. Zion Baptist church, will "exchange pulps." Sunday evening.

(My commission expires, Aug. 6, Dempsey Afraid of Wills. Dempsey says there is no use talking about a fight with Harry Wills, the brunet mauler. The public, whatever that is, has no interest in it and would not pay to it. He uses Dempsey underestimates public curiosity. A great many people would like to know whether he is heavyweight champion of the world or white heavyweight champion. We shall assume he is the white heavyweight champion until he gets into a ring with Wills and proves otherwise. P. S—The reason Dempsey does not fight Wills is because he is AFRAID to do not physically afraid to change wallops but afraid to take a chance with his title and the money he can make with it. P. P. S—Why the dickens do we keep on writing prize fight editorials and causing grief to sober-minded citizens. We write fight editorials because prize fighting interests people. Prize fighting is more interesting subject to male citizens' voting age in the United States—that is the Volsted act. Eliminate Dempsey and Volstead from the conversation of the average male gathering and without learning the deaf and dumb alphabet—the men could say all they had to say with the fingers especially about Pacific conference, conference, coal strike and conditionism.

THE AVAILABLE SUPPLY of natural gas has DECREASED 39 per cent in that time. THE INCREASE IN CONSUMERS would have been much greater if service conditions had permitted us to make extensions. SERVICE HAS BEEN BETTERED by the upward scale of prices, but the upward scale of prices has not added and cannot add to the available supply of gas. THE UPWARD SCALE of prices simply spreads out the available supply, giving good service to all consumers. THE EAST OHIO GAS CO. A. M. Clemens Dead. Toledo, O. — Andrew M.

Foundation of Southern Proscription Our Rights Must Be Protected and Respected—The South Leads! (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—Negroes of America are dissatisfied. There may be a negligible few who are satisfied with the status quo of the race but the great majority is not. The dissatisfaction is due to the American attitude toward Negroes as such. America is acting, in its social, political and economical ca- [Name] dred years and the history of colored men toward white women has been one of marked respect and consideration. Where there have been instances to the contrary it was invariably mutual. Southerners have made laws that white women were white and black marrying and yet these same montebanks have flagrantly lived in lust and adultery with women of every race that live in the south. This must stop! In the federal government, the same policy of excluding Negroes from the benefits of the government in the south has been carried and, unfortunately for certain spineless men, this policy is being largely followed. The federal government must change its southern policy or there will be trouble. In Washington, every man should be the equal of every other man. The commissioners than Washington and allow the practices of the infamous south to prevail there should be removed and in their places a set of men elected or appointed who will be able to make the nation's capital the home of real liberty. This press- Don't Throw It to a Frier ent Administration must take some steps to do this. Let the world know that we are dissatisfied with American hypocrisy and American disregard for law. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. "ENSLAVED AND FLEECED" By America, Says An Unbiased French Writer—The Situation In Haiti As It Exists Today. Paris, France.—An admirable statement of the political situation in Haiti appeared in L'Illustration, Paris Feb. 4. It is encouraged in few words, but with rare clearness and directness, and the last sentence suggests the lack of confidence on the part of French opinion in "the American spirit of fairness and justice." A full and literal translation is as follows: "It is necessary to go back to July, 1915, to explain the situation of the republic of Haiti, which the enthusiasm of Michelet called 'The Black France of the Antilles.' After a series of revolutions seven or eight presidents overthrown or assassinated in a period of four years, the dictator, Guillaume Sam, routed his turn, took refuge in the French legation, from which the populace snatched him to put him to death. France immediately took him to rescue his outrage; but out of respect Monroe Doctrine it informed the United States, which gave its guarantee for the establishment of order. By virtue of this agreement our marines occupied the Haitian capital for some hours. After their departure the American squadron landed important forces which took possession of Port-au-Prince and then of the principal cities. "Rear Admiral Caperton from that time assumed the functions of dictator, proclaimed martial law, called out the two chambers, had them elect a president (Aug. 12, 1915) who hastened to sign a treaty of friendship between the two republics. Haitian independence, for which the Negroes of Haiti Ouverture of Despaltines had paid with their blood, was no longer more than a memory. "Revolts burst out, which American troops recruited from the Nethro-hating regions of the United States, repressed cruelly. But the coming into power of President Harding reanimated the hopes of the proteges, for he had, in the course of the electoral campaign, severely criticized the actions of Mr. Wilson's cabinet toward the unhappy republic, and promised that a commission would investigate the abuses committed by the army of occupation. The day after his election, a Haitian minister in Miami, M. George Sylvain, officer of the Legion of Honor, in spite of the pitiless censure of the press and of public opinion, formed a patriotic union, which began an ardent campaign, not only in Port-au-Prince, but in the United States, with the assistance of powerful institutions favorable to Negroes. "True to his word, President Harding appointed the promised commission whose landing at Portau-Prince was greeted by an exhibition of placards expressing the wishes of the population, and its ardent desire to become again free and independent. Will this mute remonstrance find a sympathetic response at Washington?" COMMISSIONER TIGERT ON EDUCATION He says Economic Interests of the Country are Involved in the Education of our People in the Southland Washington, D. C.—That the material and moral interests of the whole country are involved in the question of our education is the substance of an interview given out by Dr. John J. Tigert, U. S. Commissioner of Education, on his return from a recent conference in Nashville with the heads of the twenty-eight Afro-American state and federal land-grant colleges. That dr. Tigert is a gift of Tennessee and lives lived in the South adds significance to his statement, which follows in full: "The neglect of 'Negro' education has resulted in an immeasurable loss to the country. It has affected not only the material prosperity, especially of the South, where the 'Negro' population is greatest, has likewise affected the standard of citizenship, and has injured the morale of our people. If we had long ago made provision for the technical education of our 'Negro' population, the increase in the value of our products, both agricultural and manufacturing, would have been incalculably great. The intangible and immaterial benefits which would have accrued can be estimated by we form any estimation of what would have been the effect upon the 'Negro' himself by way of encouragement, arousing his ambition and increasing his value as a citizen."

ADDITIONAL LOCALS. Messrs. Fleet and Weldy Walker of Cadiz and Steubenville, respectively, were in the city, Monday, en route home from N. Y. City. The former is considering the leasing of the Temple Theater, being an experienced movie theater manager, having conducted one for years in the Cadiz opera house, of which he was the lessee. Francis H. Warren, Esq., of Detroit, was called to the city, Tuesday, on legal business, and visited The Gazette sanctum. In the evening he and the editor were entertained at dine by Ms. Theoria Philen of Bissener Ave. and her mother, Mrs. Emma S. Ford of Grand Rapids, Mich., who arrived in the city, Tuesday morning. The latter is Attorney Wren's sister. He left, Wednesday morning early, for home. An excellent talk on "The Meaning of Today," was made at the P. W. A. by Hon. John P. Green at vespers. Sunday. Mrs. Frances Baldwin, pupil of Mrs. Grace W. Thompson, contributed two pleasing vocal numbers. Selections by him and his quartet were also enjoyed.

Harper, of Lancashire Rd, returned, Saturday, from Staunton, Va., where she attended the funeral of her grandmother Mrs. Sarah Patterson, one of the oldest residents of that city. There was a large crowd at Sojack's Academy, Tuesday night, to attend the style show and dance given by Mrs. Sarah Hill Johnson. Mrs. Johnson is a fine designer and quite a few of her creations brought to life. The merry throng enjoyed the dance music played by the Famous Syncapators. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods.

Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Gigard. 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 in a summer resort in Iowa. YouTube adverts? It is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

George W. Blount. our Copy of quaintance w Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race —Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is (in the statutes) under the heading Mobs Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282.

An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for this purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 182 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him until such injury will kill him. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next person, accordingly according to the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malfeasance assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal repressors of persons killed or seriously injured by mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disuse such mob. (93 v 1612.11 mob 289. The chamber shall lynch for prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 1612.12) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many reader of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Clark's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor has enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1884: 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 nationality, the amount 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 sixty dollars, but the person agreed thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such of offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, $s$ self explanatory: Akron O. April 25, 1919 My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send your cover,ate 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. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may conceive that 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 and friends."—Charles Summer.
