The motorship, William Penn, recently completed a cruise of 197 days, cogering about 28,500 miles. She left New York for a trip around the world, touching at Yokohama and other Far Eastern Marsellas, London Rotterdam, and Liverpool. Despite the fact that many steam driven vessels have been laid up for months because they could not be profitably operated, the William Penn has shown a fair return to both owners and operators. It is said that her voyage developed a saving of about $70,000 in fuel, the elimination of all repair expenses, the release of much extra cargo space needed in other vessels for boilers and coal, and a great saving in labor in the engine room. After she returned to New York her machinery was found to be in perfect condition, and she could have put to sea again immediately after filling her fuel tanks. The Board is entitled to much credit for conducting such a conclusive demonstration of the merits of the new type of ship propulsion. The Government is going to retire from the shipping business in the very near future, and will not reap the benefits that are sure to follow the successful experiment. but private ship operators will take advantage of the lessons, much to the profit of themselves and the American merchant marine. The annual memorial services of Cuyahoga lodge, Elks, will be held, April 30. Geo. Wibecan of Brooklyn; N. Y., G. E. R. will be the speaker of the day. More will be said of this. WHY NOT A GOVERNOR? Brazil Has a President of Color—Dr. Lane Given "Segregated Work"—"Muzzle Not the Ox" Special to Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer, Columbus, O. O., April 10. It developed today that an incident in connection with the appointment of Dr. J. Aubrey Lane, of Cincinnati, to be a state veterinarian, in charge of state institution herds had tended to inflame the race issue in connection with the Republican primaries. The issue was called up—when Ohio Afro-Americans demanded that former Representative Harry Clay Smith, of Cleveland, become a candidate for the Republican nomination for the Governorship. There his supporters have issued numerous denials of the charge that he was brought into the race to defeat the Secretry of State, Harvey C. Smith, Back of the candidacy of Editor Smith is a question of recognition. Plans to mobilize this by the appointment of Dr. Lane have been upset by the fact that his selection produced a crisis in the Veterinary Bureau of the Department of Agriculture it was not passed until Director L. J. Taber gave "segregated work" to Dr. Lane. Other veterinarians are reported to have asserted that they would not work with him and resignations were threatened. His Barring Reported. He is reported to have been lingered from the branch of St. Lawrence dealing with inspection of certified birds because the veterinarians usually are entertained at the houses of the dairymen whose birds are inspected, and from the State Serum Farm at Reynoldsburg. The place at state institutions was finally formed. As the story of the incident has leaked out, Ohio Afro-American Republicans have not been pleased by the treatment accorded to Dr. Lane. Muzzle Not the Ox. Editor Columbus Ohio State Journal: Several weeks ago your news column carried a press dispatch from Cleveland which stated that Harry Chase Smith, editor of a newspaper, was considering the advisability of encouraging himself as a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio. The suggestion seemed so novel and surprising that the item was carried in a "boy" on your first page under the capitation of Look Who Is Here! "Permit me to ask why an Afro-American should not aspire to the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio or another Republican state. The Republican party certainly owes everything to the Afro-American vote. It ridden into power on his back before the civil war and has been astrode his neck ever since. In the more than 40 years that have been a close observer of political matters the Republicans have elected their candidate for president but three times—1872, 1904 and 1920—when they could have won without the aid of the Afro-American vote and the same limitation applies to Ohio and many of the other Republican states which have been held in the Republican column year after year solely by this vote. The good book warns us: "Muzzle not the ox that treads out the corn" and reminds us that "the laborer is worthy his hire," so why shouldn't that great party of "moral ideas" be willing to give the Afro-American his share of the "spoils?" Why not an Afro-American governor nor for Ohio and any other Republican state? Brazil has a colored man as President of that republic. Why not an Afro-American in any position to which he may aspire and which he has the ability to fill Echo answers "Why not?" KORA F. BRIGGS. Columbus, April 13. Possibly Our Richest Girl. Kansas City, Mo.—Although she is only 20, Sarah Rector has handled the more than $750,000 worth of property she owns with such astuteness that an application for the appointment of a guardian for her has been denied.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS A Clarion Call to Southern White Women to Stop the Debauching of Colored Women in That Section. Jersey City, N. J. — In a statement issued by the Committee on Race Relations, located at Nashville, Tenn., it is shown that some progress in bringing the South around to a decent respect for law and order is being made. However, this committee does not go far enough. Besides there is no misunderstanding between the races in the South. Each race has determined upon a course of action without regard to law. The white race for years decreed that our race should not share with in the administration of the laws of the South. Every kind of device known to the genius of political demagogues was adopted to exclude Negroes from governmental functions. The rape of the Negro's franchise is the crime of crimes which the South is not willing to atone for by ordering it. All attempts to have the relations of the races good in the South while political white demagogues are permitted to gather around them the hoodlums and trash of the white race and fire them with hatred against our race, must legitimately fall. The white ladies of Texas and other southern states can correct this evil by refusing them to office to office and by composing such laws as bar Negroes from the franchise and the juries of the courts. The trouble is this committee on Race Relations is attempting to have peace between the races with a status quo (to conditions) and it will never come. It may be argued that Negroes, as such, are not competent to use the franchise. The answer is, they never will be so long as force and brute strength they are kept out of it. Every citizen has the right of franchise until it is forged through crime. One no race in America has a right to arrogate the laws without regard to other races among them. The Negro is unprepared in the South, but it is not his fault. The school system was framed for that purpose—to keep him ignorant of government. It the loudly announced policy of "white supremacy and Negro inferiority" is another reason for his unpreparedness. Neither is the white South, as such, the most capable of trouble there between the races. Any whather's nominated in the primary, is elected in November. The Negroes are kept out of this primary. The sentiment of the South is solidly against any political party coming into or ruling it. Save the Democratic party which by its laws and customs are directly responsible for lynching, ku kluxism, mob violence and a traumat of civils. This, too, in face of the fact that the laws are in the hands of, white Democratic office holders. The South has no confidence in itself. Its courts are not considered competent because whites know they can be made do anything with a black man a mob desires and if they do so with black people they will do so with white people if a necessity in their judgment calls for it. Ladies of the South, restore the confidence of the people in the courts! To do so Doings of the Race George Thompson was lynched near Indianapolis, Ind., recently. The American Church Institute Board of N. Y. City (white) has appropriated $102,000 for our Okolona, Miss. Industrial school. Charles Gilpin will go to England in June to play "Emperor Jones." It is harmful to the race (the play). Matt. Henson, who was the only one to accompany Commander Robert M. Pearce (deceased) to the North Pole is old and in need of help, says an exchange. John A. Baker, a former Justice of the Peace, has been appointed postmaster of Buxton, Iowa, a small town populated almost wholly by miners of the race. In a scenario contest, with an entry list of 20,000 authors who submitted "over 27,000 stories," Helen K. Perry, a Chicago school teacher, has been rated 30th, winning a cash prize of $500. Editor Harry C. Smith, the brilliant editor of The Gazette, will make the race for governor of Ohio, this fall. There are 125,000 Colored voters in that state - Tulsa (Okla.) Sun. We appeal to the race and all friends of the race to stop using the word "Negro" and instead use "Colored." "African" or "Mro-American." N. Y. News Amen! For the first time in the history of Kansas City, M.C., six African Americans sat in the Democratic convention, held recently. A. V. Mulholland, G. O. Smith, Mrs. Hattie O.

The South is unprepared to be just, at least the white South. Treat the colored man as a man with the same rights and privileges that you wish for yourselves and children. Colored people will never take kindly to the South so long as this bar- barric condition exists. Colored people do not believe your religion, have no confidence in your justice andabor your narrowness and prejudice.Negroes are not saints. There are many bad ones but the marvel is that we have so few of them. You have begun well, now have the hardship to go to public schools and state problem to the South. The problem is a white one, and not black. With all your opportunities and control of the law a state of barbarism exists in the South. We are glad to see white women recognizing the hypocrisy of their men. This cry of "separateness of the races" is all rot, for white men are consisting with colored women at every opportunity and the colored women they are consorting with are the vilest of the race and in many cases the scourf of the population." The increase in mutat- to children, recognized by the white women of Texas, is due directly to the immorality of white men. There is no pure white race in the South, for in too many cases white men are supporting a colored wife and her children in one quarter of the town and a white wife and her children in another. These wretches are often the first to help lynch a colored man who may be suspected of molesting a white woman. If white men delight in mating with colored women why should not white women delight in the mating with colored men? Decency and self-respect demand that neither of these should exist but that both races should grow side by side with the highest regard and respect for their women. One standard of virtue for men and women and that standard for all races! (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. President-elect Nilo Pecamha of Brazil was born in Petropolis, Brazil, April 7, 1868. His mother was a Brazilian "Negro" and his father an Italian. He entered public life in 1898, when he was elected mayor of Nithony. He was elected to the Brazilian parliament in 1900 and in 1902 he was elected governor of the state of Rio de Janiero. In 1904, he was elected president on the Federalist ticket, by a majority of 200,000. He became premier of Brazil on February 23, 1917, and will be inaugurated on May 1, 1922.

Cleveland, O., April 13, '22 Editor Chicago Whip, Dear Con- frere:—Anent the statement, in ‘your Issue of April 8, 722, relative to the recent retirement of Lieuten- ant Childs of the Chicago police department, permit me to say that he is NOT “the only man of color in the United States to attain the rank of lieutenant of poliee.” Fifteen or twenty years ago, Cleveland, Ohio, had an Afro-Amer- fean Meutenant of police, in the person of John ‘Anderson, who “wore the uniform,” was frequently “In command [of stations, tune- Mloned actively as a police Meuten- ant" and performed ALL the duties of the position until placed upon the retired (pension) list, some years ago, because of twenty-five years of splendid service in the police department of Cleveland, 0. Anderson was a patrolman (po- Nieman), sergeant and finally a Veutenant. He was rated one of the very best officers on the force and no attention was pald to his color (mulatto) or race connec- tion, Mundreds of “white” patroimen (policemen) served under him dur- ing his service as a sergeant and lieutenant and I have yet to meet one of them that did not refer to him as one of the best officers ever to serve in the Cleveland, Ohio, police department. Wishing the Chicago Whip con- tinued success and desiring to be kindly remembered to Business Manager Mac Neal, T am TIMOR the the sacs, Harry 0. Smith. Me Pe eas CIVIL, SERVICE AND THE BASIC IDEA, First Assistant’ Postmaster Gon- eral John H. Bartlett, formerly head of the Civil Service Comm's- sion, has given his views on the intelligent interpretation of the civil service law, He believes the law was intended to protect the routine employees of the government, who should not change from one ad- ministration to the other. “But,” declares Mr. Bartlott, /“executive and administration officials whom the President must rely upon to carry out bis policies must change, fe order to carry into full effect the expressed will of the people in a popular government.” The position taken by Mr. Bartlett can- not be successfully assailed. If it is wrong, then our system of rep- resentative government is wrong also. It would be meaningless for the people to elect a President of one political party if his executive acts are to be rendered impotent by a horde of officials of another party with whom the law might compel him to surround himself. When the voters of the country put & Republican President in the White House they mean that they want the Government conducted accord- ing to Republican policies for the next four years. Congress never enacted the civil service law or any other law with the intention that it should be so constructed as to defeat that basic idea of our gov- ernment. Of course the Democrats are going to cry “spoils” every time an official of their faith is turned out of office to make way for one in full sympathy with the Presi- dent's {deas, but such demonstra- tions should ‘have no more effect on the carrying out of Republican pol- feles than the cries of a spoiled child who 1s foreibly removed from the pantry after Alling himself with jam, iii DRAWING A COLOR LINE! The Gazette deeply regrets to announce that a separate parish to minister to Catholics of color has been established -here in Cleveland by “the new local bishop, Rt. Rev. Joseph Schrembs. Rev, Thomas McKenney, assistant priest in St. Philomene's church, 1. Cleveland, who lived in the South, years ago, for a year has been assigned, on his own &pectal request, by the bishop to assomble local colored Catholics and to minister to them. Location and name of the new church bave not been decided. The new parish starts out with a good financial backing, Of course! AN SUCH backward (segregation) moves do Establishment of the new mission was put under way-at a meeting in St. Bridget’s parish hall, last week Tuesday night. Bishop Schrembs made the principal address. It is 2 most-unfortunate step, one that will lower the great Catholic chureh in the estimation of our best people in Cleveland and thru- out the country, Little wonder then that Atty, and Mrs. Wm. R. Green, and other leading Afro- American Catholies of this city, carried their protest. against the establishing of the “new parish,” }0 Bishop Shrembs who, we under- stand, at once called attention to vackward people of the race who came to Cleveland from the South in recent years and who had asked for a separate parish. Even that Jdoes not justify the good bishop, who but recently came to Cleveland (from Toledo), in 40 affronting all of our people of this community in ‘any such way and, too, without even consulting any of them, The statement that other Churches have made the same great mistake is not justification for the great Catholic Church's doing anything of the kind. One of its proudest boasts to our people thruout the country, for many pears, has been that it was free from any such harmful segregation here in the North. How the mighty have fallen here in Cleveland! Lord, have mercy! IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “al- ways will be discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- tion, and are winmng even so- 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, “N ‘are not worthy of equal sights; ‘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- Utionists, worthy ef our own fathers who have ded in every war to vindiente the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of richts in our native land, however Jong race diserimn ation may continue. To submit is to de- serve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. PROTEST AGAINST WRON: ‘To submit tn silence wis wwe should protest makes « wards out of men, Thr hs fan race has elimbed on ,Pro- test.

Faulkner, (Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) * Columbus, O., Apr. 5.—Congress- man Knight's fight for the Repub- lian nomination 'for Governor is a vehicle for attack on the party, ac- cording to “organization men,” while Editor Harry C. Smith’s entry Is cause of more worry because in- dependence (on the part of the col- pred vote) is feared by them. Nor is there any disguising of the concern eaused by the announce- ment of Raitor Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, relative to becoming the candidate of the 125.000 Negro vot- ers of the state. Smith specifically repudiates the innuendo of the sup- Porters of the Secretary of State, Barvey C. Smith, of Zanesville, that he proposed coting into the’ race merely to aid and abet the defeat of that state offteiat, Big Vote Polled By Negro, Tn doing 56 Mr. Smith invites at- tention 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 recelved 61,081 votes, or ‘nore than 15,000 more than ’the total vote cast for Willis in 1918, as candidate for renomination for the Governorship. Faitor Smith says that “Ohio Re- publicans seem to be determined to. continue to ignore (until near elec- ‘ion day) the more. than 125,000 Afro-American voters in this state.” Apparently they seem to think, he says, that the Nerrs is entitied to no consideration until after all. the nominations are made from among white aspirants, and the demand for hinok yotes becomes adite.

Not that it is thought that he wil be nominated, is this concern being manifested, but because of the com- plications it will cause, especially in Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Ak- ron and Toledo, In Cincinnati it is taken for gtanted that the Republican organ- ination will be able to deliver the Negro vote in more or less bulk fashion to the primary election tick- et it selects, but elsewhere in Ohio, as in Greene County, Cleveland and in Lorain, this will be a problem for white leaders.—Cincinnati Enquirer Ry W. C. Howells (Special to Cleveland: Plain Dealer) Columbus, 0., 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 governor- ship nomination, In addition to this tangle, further complications - ap- peared today when John H. Arnold, Columbus, former lieutenant gover- nor, told friends he would seek the Republican senatorial — nomination. Against him, in all probability, will be Congressman Simeon D.. Fess, Yellow Springs. and possibly Atty. Wm. H. Boyd of Cleveland. The possible Editor Smith gubernatorial candidacy was not taken seriously until receipt here of editorfal utter- ances in the Cleveland man's pub- Vication (The Gazette) which yirtu- ally promised, if assurances of sup- port continued to he received, he would enter “The only question is, do our peo- ple of Ohio want such representa- tion (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 ¢on- fidence, Wiat do you think about it, reader? —Ask your friends and acquaintinees of color, partien- larly.” ‘ ‘The editorial says that hope of suceers for the Cleveland man’s cause is far from beyond reason. It points out that four years ago Sena- tor Frank B. Willis, receiving a to- tal 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 Har- vey C. Sinittt, 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 bal- lot, 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 an- other fight—this time for the guber- natorial nomination—with the same handicap. Carmi A, ‘Thompson, Cleveland, and the secretary of state are regarded as the two leading con- tenders 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, 0., April 9.—“We do not know that’ Judge Clevenger of Wilmington will consent to. become a candidate, but ff he does, he ought to sweep this section of the state. “Northern Ohio, hogging the ring, has ceased to be a joke.” The Nogro issue again is called up prominently in the proposed candt- dacy 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 solidarity ts being shaken. It is understood well that the Afro- Americans have not been pleased with the American treatment of their kindred in Haiti and Santo Domingo.

Recalled, Moreover, the desertion of five ot the six Negro candidates tor the General Assembly by the Republic- an party in the 1920 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 ied to more of a situation than appears upon the surface. Friends ot Secretary of State Harvey Smith are more or less apprehen- sive as to what the presence on the ballot of another name like his would do to his chances. On he other hand. there are reports Judge Smith's backers are inclined to. blame Colonel ‘Thompson's ‘riends for the entrance of the Negro, and threats of retaliation have been heard.

(Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) Cleveland, Ohio, March 29.—Ohio Afro-American Republicans are con- ueting meetings for the purpose of organizing to support one of their number for the Republican nomina- tion for Governor, this fall. There are more than 125,000 Negro yoters 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 yoters of the state, and for six years a member of the Ohlo Assembly from Cleve- Tand, received 61,081 votes as a candidate for the nomination for Secretary ‘of State in the fall of 1920, ‘naturally inclines his people to look to him as their choice for Governor. Mr, Smith has received many tet- ters in the last ten days from men and women of his race in Cincin- nat; Springfield, Dayton, Columbus, Xenia, Toledo, Akron, Youngstown, Sandusky, Zanesville’ and smaller 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. Sniith was recognized through- out the country during the two Harding campaigns for Ohio's in- dorsement—tor the Republican nom- ination 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 candidacies of Frank B. Willis for the: United States Senate and Attorney-General Harry M. Daughertf for delegate-at-large to the last Republican National Conven- tion.” His ability as a campaign speaker 1s well-known in the state, particularly in Cleveland and north- ern Ohio.

Smith,” Secretary of iState, and one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for gov- ernor 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 En- quirer 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 attension to. the following, the leading editorial in his paper. ‘The Cleveland Gazette, of Saturday, April 1, 1922: A Gubernatorial Candidate Ohio Republicans seem —deter- mined to continue (until near elec- tion day) ignoring the’ more than 125,000 Afro-Ametican 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 thelr 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 Sec- retary of State, to make Ohio Re- publicans see the importance of treating us differently and, as a re- ult, according us greater considera- tion 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 Re- publican 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 con- clusions.

The different con- stituencies. of ‘our nationality are not welded together in. a unit. Every. group is. fighting for {ts rights and must fight, if these rights are gotten. Only the cow- ard, the sluggard and the drone among races accept anything less than absolute fyeedom and equal- ity. Political “connivance is one reason why this shameful butchery of human beings is being carried on in the south. Then, too, deep down in America there is the feel- ing that this country owes our peo- ple nothing but the position of 4 slave. All political parties shy When onr people are mentioned. Deliberately, all parties allow the south {to remain a solid Inwless 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 secking to ket the world to adopt its potley of treating "the race. Come it will and come it must, when either the ‘Afro-American’ will be treated as L man or the south be again de- laged ‘with human blood. The ime has passed when any man has the right to use the law to crush another. ‘The church, as now managed by the south, is coward: ly and compromising. At the bot- tom of the south's - lawlessness stands the church with the policy that Afro-Americans are not_broth- ers to be treated as such. Sexrega- tion, ostracism and clannishness find their most fertile field in. the churches of the south, The eduea Vion of the south given the race fs 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 sub- mistion, ‘This is déne partly for “the Joh” and partly because of the spirit of fear and lack of manhood. Children begin school at six, with the express understanding that they niust be taught that they are inferior to white ‘children. ‘The streets of the elty must be given to whites and anything {in the south) a white man desires no one of the race must con- tend for it. This is the damnable policy of a country of hypocrites ind murderers. Our Teaders 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 strenu- ously to the treatment atcorded our people because every man of the Face there is a target for the preji- dice and humiliation handed out by these wretches. Any Afro-Ameri- can. 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-Ameri- cans’ denouncing this treatment, be- cause they say it makes it harder for them in the south. This ery of ignominy and cowardice , will no longer work. The souhern 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. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.

The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, 0., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette Cleveland, 0. My Dear Sir: Observing your let- ter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, 4 venture to send you, under a sep. arate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, de- ¢ided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon- Journal kad 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. Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education —in all phases of education. 1 Delieve, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the Negro, like the rest of man- kind, 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 can and must be worked out at six per cent.
