Harder To Get And To Deliver To You 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. THE EAST OHIO GAS CO. IN UNION IS STRONGER THIRTY-NINTH YEAR IT I How Long, Lord Will the South's Cont America's Christianity and tioned—We Must F (Special to, The Gazette.) Jersey City, N. J.—The civilized world is now turning its attention from Ireland to the southern states of this country. People in every country on the globe are barbarities to continue in the south. The administration of the watching to find out how long America will permit the inhuman laws of the south has become a stench in the postnils of the world. America's attempt to lead civilization while it permits the most revolting atrocities to be perpetrated upon our people of that section and that, too, without redress is causing the civilized world to doubt America's Christianity and humanity. On the other hand, the world is watching to see how long twelve millions of Afro-Americans will submit to this treatment. Respect for our manhood, the world over, is very low. The quiet acquiescence in the treatment that the soil accords us is a shame upon the manhood of any race. At the present time, America is a polygot nation. The different constituencies of our nationality are not welded together in a unit. Every group is fighting for its rights and must fight, if these rights are gotten. Only the coward, the sluggard and the drone among races accept anything less than absolute freedom and equality. Political connivance is one reason why this shameful butchery of human beings is being carried on in the south. Then, too, deep Ha THE GAZETTE down in America there is the feeling that this country owes our people nothing but the position of a slave. All political parties shy when our people are mentioned. Deliberately, all parties allow the south to remain a solid lawless group of states where it is conceded that an Afro-American can be treated as a white man pleases, and no one has aught to say about it. The south is impudent in its attitude, going even to the utmost parts of the earth and seeking to get the world to adopt its policy of treating the race. Come it will and come it must, when either the Afro-American will be treated as a man or the south be again deluged with human blood. The time has passed when any man has the right to use the law to crush another. The church, as now managed by the south, is cowardly and compromising. At the bottom of the south's lawlessness stands the church, with the policy that Afro-Americans are not brothers to be treated as such. Segregation, ostracism and clanliness find their most fertile field in the churches of the south. The education of the south given the race is one of servility and fear. Many Afro-Americans who are educating others of the race in the south are agents of the south to preach submission. This is done partly for "the job" and partly because of the spirit of fear and lack of manhood. Children begin school at six, with the express understanding that they ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1922 must be taught that they are inferior to white children. The streets of the city must be given to whites and anything (in the south) a white man desires no one of the race must contend for it. This is the damnable policy of a country of hypocrites and murderers. Our leaders in the south dare not protest loudly. Our clergy there accept it. If the clergy of the south would do as did the clergy of Ireland, this abominable policy would soon stop. Our men outside of the south object strenuously to the treatment accorded our people because every man of the race there is a target for the prejudice and humiliation handed out by these wretches. Any Afro-American of distinction, standing and ability, going through the south, must receive what the vile cracker gives him. Some of our southern men object to northern Afro-Americans' denouncing this treatment, because they say it makes it harder for them in the south. This cry of ignominy and cowardice will no longer work. The southern Afro-American, accepting this treatment, is very much mistaken if he thinks those outside of the south will take it and keep their mouths shut. It is now time for our people in and out of the south to do as did Ireland and its friends, and cause America to cease this outrage against human beings. Appointed State Field Veterinarian Columbus, O.—Dr. J. Aubrey Lane of Cincinnati has been appointed field veterinarian for state cattle herds. He is the first of the race to be appointed to such a post. Dr. Lane is a graduate of Ohio State University, class of 1921. In the examination held by the State Board of Veterinary Examiners, he stood second on the civil service eligible list for the post. Dean White of Ohio State University described Dr. Lane as one of the most capable, dependable men ever to graduate from that institution, and this strong indorsement was a factor in his selection.

COMING TO CLEVELAND! The Davis Administration Develops Something New for Ohio Afro-Americans. Columbus, O.—All the week of April 17-23 will be given over to the health campaign among our people of Cleveland. This is a part of the general campaign being conducted by the State Department of Health among our people of the state. Beginning Monday, weekday health meetings in lodges, with our business men and labor organizations, women's clubs, etc., will be held. On Sunday there will be health sermons in the churches, mass meetings for men, for women and for mixed audiences. John C. Logan, state organizer of the work; Mrs. Minnie G. Jamison, of the state's social protective section, and Dr. P. M. Wright of the division of hygiene, all of the State Department of Health, will be in Cleveland the entire week. The campaign, which was carried into Mahoning, Trumbull, Stark and Summit counties, with their large industrial population, the first half of the month, has been thoroughly organized by the State Department of Health. The first complete development of Mr. Logan's program was at Cadiz, Harrison county, where the initial meeting was promoted by Speaker Rupert R. Beetham, of the Ohio House of Representatives. THE LADIES' BAND CONCERT And Vaudeville Entertainment Pronounced Success in Spite of Miserably Bad Weather. The "spring vaudeville and concert" at Temple Theatre, Monday evening, given by the Ladies' Silv ver Seal band, was an artistic and financial success in spite of the exceedingly inclement weather. The downpour of rain from about 7 to 8:30 p. m. did not prevent the assembling of an audience that nearly filled the large theatre (up stairs and down). There were few vacant seats and the people in it braved such bad weather conditions. The band's playing was excellent. Likewise all of the vaudeville numbers. The special features of the evening's entertainment, in addition to several numbers played by the band, were Mr. and Mrs. Kuykendall's playlet, The Hatchetti Trio's several comedy numbers, Mrs. L. Ingram's trombone solo and the cornet (triple tongue) polka solo by Mrs. J. L. Pickett, decidedly the best program number. The audience was enthusiastic and naturally very liberal with its applause, giving the participants frequent encores. The two solo dance numbers, by Miss Mary Cox and a younger Miss, whose name we failed to learn, proved very enjoyable indeed. Ward 11 Central Body and its many friends were largely represented in the large audience. Mrs. Peter D. Ross, other members of her committee, and the band's committee, and director, Prof. Lowery, are entitled to a great deal of praise for the wonderful success of the affair. A. GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE Four years ago, Frank B. Willis was nominated, by the Republican of Ohio as their candidate for Governor, with a vote of 45,000. Two years ago, the editor of The Gazette but three weeks in which to stand as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, received 61,681 votes. Any one of the many Republicans seeking 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 voters 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 is 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 at the approaching primary election will make that person the Republican nominee for Governor. Can that many votes be secured by one of the race? Well, we received more than 50,000 of them, two years ago, and it can be done again. The only question is, do our people of Ohio want such representation at this time? If they do, let them continue to say so and the writer knows a MAN "game enough" to make the try, one who carries no one's "ring in his hose" and one in whom the Afro-American people of Ohio have confidence. They said so over 50,000 strong, two years ago. What do you think about it, reader? Ask your friends and acquaintances of color, particularly. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS PROBABLE CANDIDACY Of Editor Harry C. Smith Now Feared! Republican Leaders Alarmed That Cleveland May Seek the Governorship. Editor Smith's Entry Cause of By James W. Falkner. (Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) Columbus, O., Apr. 5.—Congress man Knight's fight for the Republican nomination for Governor is a vehicle for attack on the party, according to "organization men," while Editor Harry C. Smith's entry is cause of more worry because in dependence (on the part of the colored vote) is feared by them. Nor is there any disguising of the concern caused by the announcement of Editor Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, relative to becoming the candidate of the 125,000 Negro voters of the state. Smith specifically repudiates the innuendo of the supporters of the Secretary of State, Harvey C. Smith, of Zanesville, that he proposed coming into the race merely to aid and abet the defeat of that state official. Big Vote Polled By Negro. In doing so Mr. Smith invites attention to the fact that the same charge was made against him two years ago, and that he was forced to appeal to the legal authorities (Ohio Supreme Court) in order to obtain a place upon the Republican primary election ballot. At that time he received 61,081 votes, or more than 15,000 more than the total vote cast for Willis in 1918, as candidate for renomination for the Governorship. Editor Smith says that "Ohio Republicans seem to be determined to continue to ignore (until near election day) the more than 125,000 Afro-American voters in this state." Apparently they seem to think: he says, that the Negro is entitled to no consideration until after all the nominations are made from among white aspirants, and the demand for black votes becomes active. Two years ago, asserts Mr. Smith, he tried his best, through standing as a candidate for the secretaryship of state, to make Ohio Republicans see the importance of treating the Negro voters differently. It now is clear, he continues: that the race must become active in its own behalf and stop waiting for the other fellow voluntarily to drive to it that to which it is entitled, and out of which it has been kept, without any encouraging outlook. Aside from the expected attempt to "whistle" the Cleveland race leader "down the wind," it is known that there is much serious agitation over the prospect of his entrance. Not that it is thought that he will be nominated, is this concern being manifested, but because of the complications it will cause, especially in Cleveland, Columbia, Dayton, Akron and Toledo. In Cincinnati it is taken for granted that the Republican organization will be able to deliver the Negro vote in more or less bulk fashion to the primary election ticket it selects, but elsewhere in Ohio, as in Greene County, Cleveland and in Lorain, this will be a problem for white leaders. -Cincinnati Enquirer. By W. C. Howells (Special to Cleveland Plain Dealer, Columbus, O. Apr. 7.—Not a few Republican leaders here are frankly alarmed over what appears to be the grave possibility that Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, editor of The Gazette may enter the race for the governorship nomination. In addition to this tangle, further complications appeared today when John H. Arnold, Columbus, former lieutenant governor of the Republican friends he would seek the Republican governor nomination. Against him, in all probability will be Congressman Simeon D. Fess, Yellow Springs, and possibly Wm. H. Boyd of Cleveland. The possible Editor Smith gubernatorial candidacy was not taken seriously. Deserting the "G. O. P." Kansas City, Mo.—The one-time "grand old Republican party" has been deserted by three of our leading local politicians—Nelson Crews, editor and副主编 of the K. C. Sun; F. W. Dabney and W. M. Hueston, Esq. All have announced that they will aid the other party in the coming election. Mr. Crews left Allen A. M. E. chapel and established a Presbyterian church. Our people have been humiliated by the local alleged-Republican organization ever since. It has been organized and slowly but surely we are being driven from the councils and causes of the element that has been for some months masquerading as a "Republican party."

Smith Now Feared! armed That Cleveland May be Governorship. of until receipt here of editorial utter- ances in the Cleveland man's pub- lation (The Gazette) which virtu- ally promised, if assurances of sup- port continued to be received, he would enter. "The only question is, do our people of Ohio want such representation (on the ticket) at this time," the statement declares. "If they do, let them continue 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. What do you think about it. reader? Ask your friends and acquaintances of color, particularly." The editorial says that hope of success for the Cleveland man's cause is far from beyond reason. It points out that four years ago Senator Frank B. Willis, receiving a total of 45,000 votes at the primary, was nominated; and that, two years ago, Editor Smith, then a candidate for the nomination of secretary of state, received '61,081 votes in a field of three. At that time it was charged that Mr. Smith was put in the race by political enemies of Harvey C. Smith, secretary of state, who were determined to defeat him by confusing the voters with names that were so similar. The secretary of state, charging "collusion and conspiracy," ordered the Cleveland man's name removed from the ballot, but in this he was overruled by the state supreme court. The present situation is now further complicated because the secretary of state again finds himself confronted with the possibility of having to make another fight—this time for the gubernatorial nomination—with the same handicap. Carmi A. Thompson, Cleveland, and the secretary of state are regarded as the two leading contenders for the place at the head of the ticket, thus there may be three Cleveland men in the fight: Col. Thompson, Senator Arthur H. Day and Hon. Harry C. Smith. (Special to Cleveland Plain Dealer- Columbus, O. April 9. "We do not know that Judge Clevenger of Wilmington will consent to become a candidate, but- if he does, he ought to sweep this section of the state. Northern Ohio, hogging tiring, has ceased to be a joke." The Negro issue again is called up prominently in the proposed candidate of Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Cleveland editor and former State Representative, and his candidacy likewise has ceased to be a joke among Republicans. The Negro is being shaken. It is understood with the Afro-American们 have not been pleased with the American treatment of their Kindred in Haiti and Santo Domingo. Still less do they relish the manner in which the white Republicans have traded on the solid bloc vote, that they have delivered year after year. Policy of 1920 Recalled Moreover, the desertion of five of the six Negro candidates for the General Assembly by the Republican party in the 1820 election was a blow to their sense of justice that remains with them. For this reason the proposal of the Hon. Harry C. Smith to enter the race has led to more of a situation than appears upon the surface. Friends of Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith are one or less apprehensive as to what the presence on the ballot of another name like his would do to his chances. On the other hand, there are reports Judroe Smith's backers are inclined to blame Colonel Thompson's friends for the entrance of the Negro, and threats of retaliation have been heard. son, 3419 Scovill Ave., last Thursday night.

He has adopted a 40-hour week in all his factories for the ostensible purpose of furthering the welfare of his workers. The actual effect is to save Mr. Ford $300,000 every week in salaries, resulting from cutting off a day's pay. His wage schedules are thereby put back on a pre-war basis. PROVED A POOR LEADER Carrie Chapman Catt, whose radical methods delayed the adoption of equal suffrage until saner minds came to the direction of the campaign, is now focusing her attention on the American Constitution, and has decided that the treaty-making powers therein granted should be scrapped and something else tried. "It is a painful, inefficient, disturbing process," she complains, "which makes for unrest at home and contempt abroad. If spreading the authority over the entire Congress does not bring relief to a bored world, perhaps the president's powers should have attention next. Why go on suffering annual tortures from a Senate which thinks it is a house of lords in the middle ages?" Let's experiment, says she, until we hit upon a treatmaking expedient that will not be boreseme. Just what the lady means by "annual tortures" is a little obscure. If it is the struggle over the Versailles Treaty, she is correct in terming it a torture, but the Senate is hardly to be blamed for its course in that matter. The party in control of that body struggled valiantly to save the country from the agonies the internationalists sought to put upon it, and finally succeeded. Does Mrs. Catt see torture in the recent action of the Senate in ratifying every one of the treaties emanating from the NO LONGER A "JOKE" Unquestionably the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Cincinnati Enquirer are the two leading daily newspapers in the state of Ohio. That is why The Gazette has gone to considerable trouble and some expense to secure and publish, liberally, excerpts from them which treat of the matter of an Afro-American candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio. Careful reading of these excerpts will show that what they and leading politicians of the state regarded lightly, ten days ago, has developed into something more than a "joke" and is really a very serious matter for them, as they now freely admit. All this, particularly, after they had read The Gazette's leading editorial in our last issue. There are other reasons for this, too. It is more than the rule that the state primary and election immediately following a Presidential election show a woeful shrinkage in the vote of both parties. No one expects a large vote, this year. Indeed, the Republican outlook is anything but good and all know it whether they admit it or not. There is a large field of Republican candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor and whether the number finally be six or a dozen the one who secures the great honor, with the possible exception of the Afro-American candidate, will win with less than 45,000 votes, the number that renominated Gov. Frank B. Willis, four years ago. The Afro-American candidate, with over 125,000 votes of his own people and many friendly white Republican votes to draw from, ought easily to poll more than 45,000 votes in view of the fact that with only about three weeks, two years ago, in which to campaign he polled 61,081 votes as a candidate for a lesser office, that of secretary of state of Ohio, and in a field of but three candidates. The larger the field of candidates, the easier it will be for our candidate to win the nomination. In the many weeks to come, before the day of the primary election, there is plenty of time for our candidate to reach every section of the state in person thru the mails and otherwise, and make a thoro campaign. Something impossible two years ago. What say you "brothers and sisters," shall the battle be fought? WE THINK IT OUGHT TO BE but want to hear from more of you. Washington armaments conference?

They are joining with the men in seeking to perpetuate the national policies that are responsible for the commanding position of America in the world today. FERRIS WHEELS NOT NEW WERE KNOWN IN 1800 Two Campaign Orators Once Passed Some Unpleasant Moments in One of Them When you go to an amusement place or fair and see the Ferris wheels with their seats filled with laughing young people as they go revolving through space, you may probably have the idea that the Ferris wheel is a very modern affair. Ferris' claim to fame was the great wheel of this type that he designed for the World's Fair at Chicago. Read the following story published in the Massachusetts Mercury in Boston, June 27, 1800. The story was clipped by the publishers of the Mercury from the Dartmouth, N. H., Gazette, and it gives the use made of the wheel then, in a most amusing manner: "The Fanango." A curious Anecdote. "In the course of the late electioneering endeavors for Gov. Walker, a couple of runners, pretty dapper young gentlemen, who made great endorsers in favor of his Axelreut, attended a numerous meeting of the freemen of a wealthy and populous town in this state and made their usual display of eloquence upon the occasion. "But the good people, far from being moved by their harangues or pleased with the improper interference, at first beheld them with contempt; and at length, from their too great impernence, were almost induced to try the remedy of an 'oaken towel,' or at least kicking and cuffing. "An old gentleman, to divert the people from using any severity which might very much injure the young men, it being supposed they were rather incapable of doing much mischief, proposed to have them turned in the Fandango, while the business of the meeting was proceeding; which was accordingly done to the no small entertainment of the numerous spectators; THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., APRIL 15. 1922 PRIME SPORT NEWS By Allen Harrison Dorsey Dempsey Bars None Chicago, Ill. — Jack Dempsey world's heavyweight champion, said Sunday that during his European tour he expected to fight Wills Carpentier and Beckett.

C.—Howard University varsity and freshman track teams are making great preparation for the coming Penn relay games to be held on Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, April 28 and 29. The teams will be composed of eleven men who are to compete in five teams. Last year the 'varsity relay team was successful in winning the event in which it was entered.

"You may reflect upon the tendency and consequences of all revolutions. For although it may turn up some good men into public employment, yet a revolution will as certainly turn up the scum; therefore how infinitely preferable it is, when you get up a good man to keep him there rather than to risk the misfortunes of a fanango revolution? "Ponder this well in your minds, and I am confident, if you have the good of the country at heart, you will never attempt a revolution. There is a bare possibility of good succeeding; out a moral certainty of evil." "Whether the ill success of their mission, or the ludicrous figure they trade of their terrible apprehension; or the discourse of the old gentleman most affected them cannot be determined; but the fact is, that after their being released they took leave very abruptly, an" have manifested great signs of contrition—at least they say "they are fully determined never to go upon such untoward business again." "The Fandango, as it is called by the maker of it, is not an original invention of this country—it is used in Russia and other parts of Europe, sometimes for amusement or pleasure and sometimes by way of punishment 'or those in England who are punished with ducking, viz. scolds. "The machine somewhat resembles the large wheel of a grist mill and is turned upon its axis—at the extremes opposite each other are suspended four chairs or conveniences for sitting, so that when the wheel is turned the patient feels nothing but the gentle motion of elevation or depression." Rubber is very quickly disintegrated by oil, and at the same time it has a most unfortunate capillary affinity for the oil. DO YOU KNOW WHY --- A Bum Umbrella Always Comes Back?

"Tut" Defeats Langford Dayton, O.—"Tut" Jackson, last Thursday night, gave Sam Langford the worst beat in his long career. The bout was scheduled to go twelve rounds, but lasted only five. In the second round Jackson, who hails from Washington C. H. O., twice floored Sam and the second time the aged box was counted out by Capt. Snyder of Camp Taylor, the referee. A right to the jaw sent Langford to the mat for the count of five and as he arose, engaged up the advantage and sent him to the mat. He was hanging on the ropes as the count toled, vainly trying to get to his feet. Immediately the referee held up the hand of Jackson and one of the biggest fight crowds, which ever attended a show given by the Miami Athletic club, let loose a roar of approval. The Langford crowd claimed the bell had saved their man. The referee refused to change his ruling. However, it was announced that Jackson had been awarded the decision, but did not want to even take to any unfair advantage; so agreed to go on. Both men went at it hard in the fourth round. Jackson slugged him at and near the end of the round rounded out the count of nine. Jackson all but scored a second knockout in the fifth round, and Langford clinched and fouled Jackson, hitting in the break. The fight finally was Langford entered the ring weighing 183 pounds, while Jackson tipped at 190. Langford was disposed to take things easy, at first, and seemed overconfident. It is claimed he was knocked down more tonight than in all his previous encounters. Itson Buys Race String Frank Ison, Afro-Canadian, who holds the contract on the sensational jockey (colored). B. Jacobs, last Friday purchased the Quebec stable from Louis Letourneau (white) of Montreal, Canada. By the purchase Ison becomes the owner of the crack sprinter, Fornovo, and nine other thoroughbreds. Their acquisition will make the Ison stables one of the prominent ones of the American running turf. Ison has been endeavoring to buy Fornovo for some time, but uninterested in the job, Letourneau decided to close out his entire racing interests and so informed Ison. The latter immediately wired his terms for the outfit. The offer was accepted. The members of the Quebec stable will be shipped immediately to the Maple Heights tracks, where they will be prepped for the meeting that opens there, May 6. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

"HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax. That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. Carnegie gave 300 millions. Statements filed in Pennsylvania show that Andrew Carnegie left an estate worth only $31,350,000, and that during his lifetime he gave away $330,000,000.

Try This Simple Test One Reason Why HILL'S CASCARA QUININE BROMIDE Acts On The Spot HILL'S C.B. Q. Tablets are best by test. Try this simple experiment: 1. Drop a C.B. Q. Tablet in a glass of clear water. 2. Instantly the tablet begins disintegrating or "breaking up." 3. In 10 seconds the medical properties are thoroughly mixed with water. Thus, Hill's C.B. Q. Tablets act immediately, give relief without delay and begin checking Cold and La Gripe long before ordinary tablets, by actual test, are absorbed by the stomach juices. To prove this, subject other than C.B. Q. Tablets to the test, and observe that in most instances an hour or more is required for complete disintegration. Demand C.B. Q.

Holcomb, relative to completing the Central Ave. repairs, so that street cars would start running both ways at an early date. Mr. Holcomb promised he would give the matter immediate attention, and did so, with the help of a running east on the avenue almost immediately, and were started running west, Saturday afternoon. Thank you, Tractioner Holcomb. Credit for this should go to the Kohler administration and Ward 11 Central Body. Residents of the Central Ave. district, especially those in Ward 11, did not receive such assistance and treatment from the Davis-FitzGerald administrations and Councilman Tom Fleming, who is apparently "down and out" as far as the Kohler administration of city affairs is concerned. All of which is as it should be and a perfectly natural sequence. "Poor Tom" is surely persona non grata with the Kohler Administration. RACE PREJUDICE!

(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 true in the south. Egypt Ireland and India 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 counselling acquiescence. 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 leaders in the south remain in 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 subservience in the north just as strong as they do in the south. We are strong feeling on the part of our leaders of the south that this country's attitude toward the Negro should be based on its attitude toward our people in the south. In this, we shall never agree. To the FOR GOV Our People Thruout To Pre The Candidacy of One Republican Nomina FOR GOVERNOR! Our People Thruout Ohio Organizing To Promote The Candidacy of One of Their Number for the Republican Nomination—Determined to Force Recognition. (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. Sec. Harvey Smith's Old Wall: Cleveland, O., April 3.—Havv reference to the statement from O. Lambus, published in The Enquirer last Thursday, that "friends of Jud Harvey, C. Smith" Secretary State, and one of the candidates the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio, "say they expect ascertain what set of managers 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 inclines his people 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 Cincinn- Harry A. Smith nati, Springfield, Dayton, Columbus, Xenia, Toledo, Akron, Youngstown, Sandusky, Zanesville and smaller places, calling upon him to stand as a witness. But the other intentions were, he replied that he would announce his decision later. Mr. Smith was recognized throughout 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 Convention. His ability as a campaign speaker is well-known in the state, particularly in New York and northern New Jersey. Editor Smith's feature-compilations, as a member of the Ohio Assembly, in the estimation of his people, are Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Mobi Violence or Anti-Lynching law, the latter the basis of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill recently passed in the U. S. House of Representatives and now pending in the U. S. Senate—Cincinnati Enquirer. Don't Throw It to a Friend contrary, our people outside of the 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 give up a scintilla of their rights, irrespective of the cost. We are prepared to suffer as did the Irish in Ireland and we will 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 yiews. 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 attitudinal, let me add, that thropists 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 race of MEN! 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 quasilavency must not be brought. The south must also be south and its attitude must also resemble south when they come north be 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. Sec. Harvey Smith's Old Wall! Cleveland, O. April 3.—Having reference to the statement from Columbus, published in The Enquirer, last Thursday that "bends of Judge Harvey C. Smith," said 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 because his caper of his probable candidacy. Editor 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 after they have nominated all their candidates in 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 the importance of using us differently as a result, according to 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 time when we still were young, 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! THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., APRIL 15. 1922. 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 school can meet with the general comment 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 Americans." While the courageous Congressman was right and deserves the thanks of all New York and the colored race for doing his duty it would have been remiss and discriminatory if Congressman Ansorge had not so recognized the equal citizenship of his tens of thousands of colored constituents. The West Harlem Republican club takes pardonable 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 appreciate their valor in war and their vital service as citizens. They expect 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 circles. The situation is up to the Republican party and the American people.—N. Y. News. Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education—in all phases of education. I believe, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. I believe in Negro, like the rest of mankind, must learn to work out more of his problems along business lines than he has in the past; he must learn as others have learned, that a great deal of the so-called race problems are worked out at six per cent.

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 advertisement 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." PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yelled against the law, grillotines decide the least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we will not sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W.

"Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Poor suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. 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 "jynching" 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 family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if such injury occurred, such sum shall not 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 shall be applied to the estate 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 lynching, in court of the state's original jurisdiction of an action for 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 representation of a person killed or ser- vious in the 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 in which the lynching occurred there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v 168 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for the same crime, or engage therein. (93 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, 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 or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, 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 no more than five hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars the person agreed thereby to be enjoined in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry of the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal edited an editorial to which the editors The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O. April. 25. Rebecca Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon Journal, of this city, I venture to 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. Furman, decided in Akron, last fall, in what 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. Very truly yours, C. R. Grant. "I honor the man who in the conscious 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 Summer.
