NEW WELLS are drilled constantly in the unceasing attempt to maintain a gas supply.
THESE WELLS are farther and farther away and results are more and more uncertain. Sometimes holes are drilled a mile deep. One West Virginia well was within a few feet of a mile and a half deep.
THIS IS the deepest well in the world. It produced no gas.
LESS GAS and in consequence, less pressure are now the rule. We have to pump Cleveland's supply all the way to the city. Originally it was so plentiful that its own pressure brought it here.
THIS PUMPING is done by huge compressors. Their capacity has had to be added to constantly. In 1908 6,000 horse power was enough. Now it requires 64,000 horse power—an increase of almost 1,000 per cent.
We use every means to overcome the handicaps of a dwindling natural gas supply. In return we ask only a fair and reasonable return on our investment, which the present scale of prices does not do.

(Special to The Gazette)
Jersey City, N. J.—Many people are alarmed at the conditions now prevailing in the south and especially at the attitude of our leading men there. The liberty that Ireland has secured came by reason of a common cause made by the leading men of Ireland and for that common cause, many of them died but the results of their sacrifice are a free Ireland and an emancipated people. Egypt has assumed its own rule because Egypt was willing to suffer for it and the leading men of Egypt gave their lives in this cause. The same is true now of India, Egypt, Ireland and India have not suffered what Negroes of the south have suffered and are still suffering. In the face of this, our leaders in the south are silent under it and in many instances are counseled aguilecence. Many are bold enough to say that the white oppressors are their best friends. The question is, will this butchery of southern colored people cease so long as this attitude of our southern leaders remain as now? Frankly, we feel that it will continue for years to come. The leaders of our race feel that those in the south should determine their own destiny. Some of us are willing to allow them to do so if it would
not also menace the liberties of the race elsewhere. Our southern leaders will preach subserviency in the north just as strong as they do in

south will not tolerate the treatment of southern people which they seem pleased to give. Outside of the south, we believe in absolute equality before the law and in the proper treatment of man by man. Our men will not for a moment up a scintilla of their rights, irrespective of the cost. We are prepared to suffer as did the Irish in Ireland and we shall glory in our sacrifices. The breach between our people is so wide until it is a question whether those of the south should be tolerated in sections outside of the south in the disseminating of harmful views. Wherever our southern leader is heard in the north his attitude is not that of an upstanding man but he trims his words so as not to insult the vicious attitude, of the southern white. Besides, he is attempting to get northern philanthropists to recognize the south and the southern colored man as the leader of the entire race in this country. Trimmers and "frightened dependents" cannot lead a MEX! In fighting southern proscription, it is evident that a fight against our leaders in the south must also be made. North of Mason and Dixon's line, southern quasslivery must not be brought. The men that accept the south and its attitude must also remain south or when they come north he quiet, for we look upon them as a more dangerous foe than we do the southern "cracker" who is following out his life-long policy of trying to crush the race. The day of men real men, men who will die, men who will plan and who will execute their plans, is NOW, and men of a different stamp have no standing, even in Africa.

TWELVE SONS IN U. S. ARMY
Father of Twenty Children, A Credit to the Race in Every Way
Alexandria, Va. - Rev. Richard H. Windson of Ravilleville is the proud owner of a service medal, with four bars and twelve stars, which was sent him by former President Woodrow Wilson, in token of the fact that he had been the father of twelve sons who fought in the World War. A better from the President to the minister which accompanied the medal is so highly
prized that Rev. Windsor, although a poor man, declares he would not sell it for several thousands dollars. The twelve boys served through the entire period of the war, and only one was injured and that slightly. The entire group is said to be in France, having signed up for four years' service. An interesting fact as regards this family is that the twelve sons include one son of triplets, four sets of twins and only one boy who came into the world alone. Matthew, Mark and Luke are triplets; Willie and William, James and Jinnie, and Lafayette and George are twins; Bonnie is the lonesome one. William is said to be a physician, serving with the hospital branch; Lafayette and George, lionenants, and Bonnie, a sergeant. The minister-parent is 72 years old, but looks 50. He is the father of twenty children, only one being a girl. His first wife, who died thirteen years ago, was the mother of seventeen, and the second wife has given birth to three, one being the girl. Five children are in school, three are too young to attend school.
Doings of the Race
Bert. Williams left his estate of "upwards of $2,000" to his wife.
Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter of Boston was given a "golden testimonial" on his fifth birthday, April 7, 1922. Good!
Miss Ravenna Birdwell (white), age 22, a nurse, and Wm. Gibbs, age 42, a railroad porter, were married in Boston, recently. Mrs. Gibbs is from Jonesboro, Teen.
Right to securities and bonds valued at over $105,000 was recently won in a N. Y. City court by Miss Cora Nelson Brooks, of Pittsburg, and one of the heirs of Wm. A. Doniston (white), a reclusive millionaire oil broker of Chicago and Pittsburg. The case had been in Ohio. Penn, and N. Y. courts, four years.
Mrs. Charlotte Williams, widow of the late Bert Williams, will receive about $25,000 in royalties from songs composed and sung by her husband during his long stage career, was announced by Henry Herzbrun, lawyer, who filed Williams' will in the N. Y. Surrogate's Court the other day. One of the comedians' royalties was "Under the Bamboo Tree."
Gilpin "Blazed the Way."
New York City. A direct result of the success of Charles Gilpin in "The Emperor Jones" and an augury, perhaps, of a complete change in "convention" (stage prejudice), is the decision of Augustin Duncan (white) to produce in New York a play called "Taboo," which will have a large cast of Afro-American actors and actresses. There are thirty roles in the piece, three of them for white. The only white woman's role in the piece is expected to be taken by a widely known Broadway actress, "Taboo," like "The Emperor Jones," is a serious study of "racial superstition." That of itself, like "The Emperor Jones," will not be helpful to the race but will, it is hoped, prove a pathway to success (on the stage) for some of our capable actors and actresses.

Chicago, Ill.—Rey. Boston J.
Prince, who recently resigned as
pastor of the Original Providence
Baptist church, this city, has filed a
bill for divorce, in the Superior
court against his wife, Mrs. Katherine
Prince, whom he left, Jan. 30
last. The bill charges adultery,
naming Wm. Randolph Smith, chair-
man of the trustee board of the
church, as co-defendant. According
to the minister, he married Mrs.
Prince, May 3, 1903, in Newport,
Ky. They came here from Cleveland,
O. some years, where Dr.
Prince was pastor of Shiloh Baptist
church for several years. Mrs.
Prince denies the charge.
ORBITARY
Jersey City, N. J.—Roy, Wm. A. Byrill's younger daughter, Miss Junaita Coleman, died, March 23. She was a graduate of the Rochester N. Y. High school, an alumnus of Howard University, graduating cup laureate in 1919 with the degree of B. S. She was a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority of Howard University, the Lauda Kappa Alpha of Kansas City, Mo. She was a post-graduate of Columbia University, N. Y., and died a member of the faculty of a Kansas City school. She was buried here, Mar. 27, Dr. L. B. Ellerson of Newark, officiating. Her floral tributes were numerous, large and very beautiful.
Dan Shaw, Jr., for years a resident of this city, but in recent years located in Elyria, sent the editor of The Gazette a very pretty souvenir post card, last week, from Los Angeles, Cal., on which was written: "Hello! Mr. Smith!" I have been here for six weeks. Had a wonderful trip here, am seeing the beautiful homes, immense orchards of the citrus fruits, and driving on the best roads in the country. How are you? Dan Shaw, Jr., 612 S. Ardmore St., Los Angeles, Cal."

(Special to Cincinnati Enquirer)
Cleveland, Ohio, March 29.—Ohio Afro-American republicans are conducting meetings for the purpose of organizing to support one of their number for the Republican nomination for Governor, this fall. There are more than 125,000 Negro voters in the state, more than 10,000 of whom are in Cleveland.
The fact that Harry C. Smith, for nearly 40 years editor and publisher of The Cleveland Gazette, the organ of the Afro-American voters of the state, and for six years—a member of the Ohio Assembly from Cleveland, received 61,081 votes as a candidate for the nomination for Secretary of State in the fall of 1920, naturally inlines his people to look to him as their choice for Governor.
Mr. Smith has received many letters in the last ten days from men and women of his race in Cincin-
BENNETT
nati, Springfield, Dayton, Columbus
Xenia, Toloca, Akron, Youngtown
Sandusky, Zanesville and small-
places, calling upon him to stand as
a candidate. When asked what his
intentions were, he replied that he
would announce his decision later.
Mr. Smith was recognized through
out the country, during the two
Harding campaigns for Ohio's
indorsement—for the Republican nomination and for the Presidency—as
the national Harding leader of his
race. He also led those in the state
with his paper, in the support they
gave to the candidates of Frank B.
Willis for the United States Senate
and Attorney-General Harry M.
Daugherty for delegate-at-large to
the last Republican National Con-
vention. His ability as a campaign
speaker is well-known in the state,
particularly in Cleveland and northern
Ohio. Editor Smith's feature-
accomplishments, as a member of
the Ohio Assembly, in the estimation
of his people, are Ohio's Civil Rights
law and Ohio's Mob Violence or Anti-
Lynching law, the latter the basis
of the byer Anti-Lynching bill
recently passed in the U. S. House of
Representatives and now pending in
the U. S. Senate Cincinnati Enquirer.

See, Harvey Smith's Old Wail!
Cleveland, O., April 3.—Having reference to the statement from Columbus, published in The Enquirer, last Thursday, that "friends of Judge Harvey C. Smith," Secretary of State, and one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio, "say they expect to ascertain what set of managers are responsible for the promotion" of Editor, Harry C. Smith's candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor, Mr. Smith said to an Enquirer representative today that he and his people only are responsible for his candidacy as was proven to be the case two years ago in the State Supreme Court when he forced Secretary of State Smith, as State Supervisor of Elections, to place his name upon the primary ballots after he had ordered it to be left off of them. In further explanation of his probable candidacy, Editor Smith called attention to the following, the leading editorial in his paper, The Cleveland Gazette, of Saturday, April 1, 1922:
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!
days, Apr. 16, respectively: Rev. M. J. Walls, of Charlotte, N. C., will preach on both Sundays, and for the pre-Easter services at N. p. m., April 16, 11, 12 and 13. Rev. E. D. W. Bell is pastor of St. Paul's.
Sunday was a Banner day at Mc. Zion Cong. church. The collections amounted to $223. the auditorium was filled and an overflow in the S. S. room. The attendance at the S. S. was 146 and the collection, $9. The report of the church treasurer shows that the receipts of the first three months of the year were $2,101. 58; expenditures, $1.5$5.77; balance, $1.246.82. Sunday, the pastor will preach a special sermon on The Triumphal Entry of Jesus and Mrs Ruby Y. Slaughter will sing "The Palms" Palm will be distributed.
At Ward 11 Central, Body meeting, at Central Bathhouse, Monday evening, it was decided to attend in 2 body the spring vaudeville and concert, Monday evening, at the Temple Theatre, near Central Aye, on E. 55th st., to be given by the Ladies' Silver Seal band, a number of whose members are active in the Central Body. This entertainment promises to be the most unique of the season and will undoubtedly draw a crowded house. The next regular meeting of Ward 11 Central Body will be held on Monday evening. April 17, as usual at S. p. m., sharp, at the bathhouse.

A GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE
Four years ago, Frank B. Willis
was nominated, by the Republicans
of Ohio as their candidate for Gov-
ernor, with a vote of 45,000. Two
years ago, the editor of The Gazette,
with but three weeks in which to
stand as a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Secretary
of State, received 61,081 votes. Any
one of the many Republicans seek-
ing the nomination, this year, that
receives 45,000 votes will be the
nominee just as was true four years
ago. The foregoing are facts. well
known. There are more than 125,-
000 Afro-American yoters in this
state, The leaders of our party
seem determined to go on in the
same old Way, ignoring our people's
right to representation on the state
ticket. Therefore, it ts up to us to
get it in any honorable way we can
‘and there is such a way. One-third
‘of the total Afro-American vote of
Ohio cast for a member of the race
fat the approaching primary election
‘will make that person the Republi-
can nominee for Governor, Can
that many votes be secured by one
lot the race? Well, we received
more than 50,000 of them, two
years ago, and it can be done agaim
"The only question is, do our people
‘of Ohio want such representation at
this time? If they do, let them con-
tinue to say so and the writer
knows a MAN “game enough” to
make the try, one who carries no
one’s “‘ring in his nose" and one in
whom the Afro-American people of
‘Ohio have confidence. ‘They said so
over 50,000 strong, two years ago.

COLORED BOY AT ANNAPOLIS
It is a sad reproach upon the
state of public sentiment in the
United States in 1922 when the
nomination of a colored American
to its great naval training schgol
can meet with the general com-
ment that has the nomination of
Emile T. Holley, of New York City.
As Congressman Ansorge said,
“Colored Americans to the number
of five hundred thousand fought in
the army and navy during the world
war and it is but a simple act of
Justice to accord their race the same
right to training for that service as
is possessed by other loyal Ameri-
cans.” While the courageous Con-
gressman was right and deserves
the thanks of all New York and the
colored race for doing his duty it
would have been remiss and dis
criminatory if Congressman Ansorge
had not so recognized the equal citi-
zenship of his tens of thousands of
colored constituents. The West
Harlem Republican club takes par-
donable pride in having requested
Congressman Ansorge to name the
brilliant colored student and athlete
to Annapolis. The colored citizens
of the country are glad that the
issue has been raised. They want
to know now at this late date as to
whether the Republic is going to
enforce their rights and their equal
opportunities in all of the nation's
institutions. ‘They want to know as
to whether the Americans appre-
ciate their valor in war and thelr
vital service as citizens. They éx-
pect the Republican party to stand
by the appointment of Holley and
see that justice Is done. It is too
late in the day for any quibbling
about the color line in official cir-
cles. The situation is up to the Re-
publican party and the American
people,—N. Y. News,

but up an exciting contest, with &the
first half finding the Scholastics one
point in the lead. The second half
was bitterly fought, see-sawing back
and forth, and it looked like a
Scholastic victory until the last
three minutes of play, when two
wonderful basket throws by Reed
won for the Acmes by a 24 to 19
score, Doc’ Ramsay played a
great game for the winners and
Pete Willet for the Scholastics.
Great applause greeted the presen-
tation of the silver championship
cup to the Acmes, A fine spirit and
love of the sport was shown by the
capacity crowd present. ‘The games
were under the direction of Wil-

bas grown rapidly in the last twenty
five years. Commercial agencies which
were originally formed to supply local
‘dealers with facts about other firms
in the same territory have extended
thelr field of operations until now
they embrace the entire world.
Long ago the United States was
carefully listed and cataloged. ‘The
growth of interstate commerce de
pended in a certain measure on the
aissemination of accurate knowledge
regarding the financial standing of
business houses in various parts of
the country. Manufacturers of the
east found It essential, before trading
with the dealers of the west, to be in-
formed of the credit of the purchaser.
‘4 service was eventually built up by
several agencies whith gaye clients
full, accurate and complete reports ou
the character of concerns with which
they had relations.
With the extensjon of American
commerce into foreign fields, business
men turned to the agencies for as
sistance and immediately the protien’
was presented of enlarging the scope
ct activity. The exporter now is in a
position to secure facts regarding the
financial standing of any concern in
ary country, no matter how remote.
By reason of this the transaction of
sammereial business atroad is’ wel
sifeguarded and Americans can ven
ture into new fields with a fecling of
security and confidence.

FINGER NAILS ARE AN INDEX
‘owner Either is a Sloven or a Very
Hard Worker is Theory
Altho the eyes may be the “windows
of the soul” the fingernails constitute
the front porch, and when one enters
a neighbor's home he generally pnys
more attention to the porch than he
does to the windows, during his brief
wait upon the threshold.
Dirty fingernails indicate one of
two conditions—that the owner is a
sioven or a mighty hard working per-
son.
There should be sympathy for the
worker who has to monkey around
with a lot of dirt and grease and oth-
er disagreeable stuff that gets beneath
nis finger nails and pretty nearly bol
fies eradication, but the ordinary bus-
iness man or housewife whose nails
are not clean is likely to suffer a re-
verse in estimation at the hands of
nis or her acquaintances.
As breeding places for germs the
fingernails are delightfully equipped
Hence it is well that in the public
schools the teachers see to it that
youngsters are compelled to keep
themselves clean in this respect, if
their parents have been negligent
therein.

“We Clean Them”
IS I OF ANY US# 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 diserimina-
tion, and are winning even s0-
cial 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 proscriptions for
race.
Let us be worthy of the abo-
Iitionists, worthy cf our own
fathers who have d'ed in every
war to vindieate the title of
their race to equal liberty, ahd
forever resist denial of rights
in our native land, however
long race diserimiation may
continue. To submit is to de-
serve contempt. — Boston

One of Our Younger and Successful Editors "Takes His Pen in Hand"—Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Et. Al.
(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 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.
T. Thomas Fortune
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.
It so happened that Editor Harry C. Smith's *Glelandov Gazette*, was in the same mall, 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 Curtine, John Mitchell, William H. Stewart and George L. Knox—have the reward this season of our. The great sacrifices that these men have made in their efforts to champion the cause of the race of 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 to appear in print, and the little evidences of appreciation on the part of those served by these men
The Mob Spirit
Harry Lattimer Saved
From It
By the Supreme Court of Appeals of the State of West Virginia.
(Spelal 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."
The above quotation is from a unanimous opinion of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals written by Judge Frank Lively and handed down, last week Tuesday ordering a new trial of Harry Lattimer convicted in the Circuit Court, Mingo county on the charge of roping an eight-year 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 just waiting high against the accused in and about the court house and had some fear of mob violence being inflicted on the accused *A* speedy 'justice' were not meted out to him by the court."
Judicial Lynching.
Continuing, Judge Lively said: "The blood-thirsty mob spirit permeated 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 irresponsible rabble. It undermines the foundation of orderly government and weakens respect
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, it 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 civilization, 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 career under the most favorable 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 America; 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 heads while even of our friends Harry C. Smith, and they haven't been promised as much more time among us as they have spent in the past.—Knoxville East Tennessee News
for law and order. There should be no compromise with the spirit of lynching for any crime. What we have said is entirely impersonal, 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 less essential. 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."
Syllabus in Casc
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 that he guilty for the judge certifies 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 being 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 a feeble and perfunctory defense interposed, the appellate court will set aside the verdict and award to the officer new trial because he has not been accorded a fair and impartial trial." T. Edward Hill.
RACE PREJUDICE!
"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 together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world."

STEEL RIBBONS AID BIG GUN BUILDING
MILES OF MATERIAL USED TO RE
INFORCE TUBES OF HUGE
Bore of Weapons Rifled to Increase Accuracy of Fire
One of the chief sources of strength in big guns lies in the miles and miles of steel ribbon with which the tube is reinforced, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
This ribbon one sixteenth of an inch thick and about a quarter of an inch wide, is wound round the tube or core of the great cannon. On a twelve inch pin about 130 miles of the ribbon is wound, a weight of fifteen tons. The ribbon has a tensile strength of 100 tons per square inch.
From the time the ingot of steel some of which are nearly 100 tons in weight, are taken from the steel foundry, where they are cast as octagonal masses, to whom, as a complete weapon, the gun is tested to prove its power and accuracy, scores of intricate processes are gone through.
After being taken from the foundry the mass of steel is dealt with by the machine shop where a hole is made in each ingot in what is known as a freemining machine.
Under a hydraulic press of 10,000 tons power, it is next forged to reduce it to a tube or jacket of the required length and thickness of metal, where on it is passed to one of the large machine shops, there to be finished in machines ranging up to 180 feet in length.
The tube is next reheated and tempered or hardened in oil baths, which are under the ground level and of great depth, so that the tube may be suspended vertically in a bath while the heat is steadily maintained at the required temperature by carefully controlled gas jets.
The tube is lowered into and lifted out of these baths by "Gobalt" canes capable of dealing with weight of 100 tons and the tubes seventy five feet in length.
The same plant is used in the subsequent operation of building up by the shrinking on process the various tubes or jackets required to form the complete gun, the outer tubes being heated before being fitted over the inner tubes, so that with the subsequent contraction due to the reduction of temperature the outer tube tightly fits the inner.
The innermost tube of all is inserted as one of the later operations, and in very accurate machines the bore is filled in order that the shot as it leaves the gun will have the gyratory motion essential to accuracy of fire.

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 richea a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise?
While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days."
The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into
Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2). Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3).
Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.)
Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.)
Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for the death of such person, or children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum may be received of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.)
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings; any court having original jurisdiction of a case or damages for malicious 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 representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the occupants, 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 displeasing the county (953 v. 163). Section 6289. This chapter shall lynch from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (953 v. 163. 12.)

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, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike or color, the fundamental or equal 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 the fine, and imprisoned for more than five hundred dollars to the court aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such of fense 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, following his dissent of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O. April 25, 1919
My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of your city, 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.
"I honor the man who in the consecrious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant 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.
CHARACTER.
Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a ripier growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For thirty-eight years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR
