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!

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.

Editor Chicago Whip, Dear Conferee:—Anent the statement, in your issue of April 8. "22, relative to the recent retirement of Lieutenant 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 police." Fifteen or twenty years ago, Cleveland, Ohio, had an Afro-American lieutenant of police, in the person of John Anderson, who "wore the uniform," was frequently "in command of stations, functioned actively as a police lieutenant" 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, O. Anderson was a patrolman (policeman), sergeant* and finally a lieutenant. He was rated one of the very best officers on the force and no attention was paid to his color (mulatto) or race connection. Hundreds of "white" patrolmen (policemen) served under him during 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 continued success and desiring to be kindly remembered to Business Manager Mac Neal, I am Yours for the race. Harry C. Smith First Assistant Postmaster General John H. Bartlett, formerly head of the Civil Service Commission, 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 administration to the other. "But," declares Mr. Bartlett, "executive and administration officials whom the President must rely upon to carry out his policies must change, in order to carry into full effect the expressed will of the people in a popular government." The position taken by Mr. Bartlett cannot be successfully assailed. If it is wrong, then our system of representative 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 a Republican President in the White House they mean that they want the Government conducted according 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 government. 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 President's ideas, but such demonstrations should have no more effect on the carrying out of Republican policies than the cries of a spoiled child who is forcibly removed from the pantry after filling himself with jam. --- 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 E. McKenney, assistant priest in St. Philomene's church, E. Cleveland, who lived in the South, years ago, for a year has been assigned, on his own special request, by the bishop to assemble local colored Catholics and to minister to them. Location and name of the new church have not been decided. The new parish starts out with a good financial backing. Of course! All 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 a most unfortunate step, one that will lower the great Catholic church in the estimation of our best people in Cleveland and throw the country. Little wonder then that Atty, and Mrs. Wm. R. Green, and other leading Afro-American Catholics of this city carried their protest, against the establishing of the "new parish," to Bishop Shrembs who, we understand, at once called attention to backward people of the race who came to Cleveland from the South in recent years and who had asked for a separate parish. Even that does not justify the good bishop, who but recently came to Cleveland (from Toledo), in so 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 thrust 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 submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist downsweep and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have d'ed in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however much our native land continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence who we should protest makes our wards out of men. The boy an race has elimbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the injustice yet would serve the law, gullotillines deinde and lee disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak to right the wrongs of Fila Wheeler Willey. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., APRIL 22, 1922. PROBABLE CANDIDACY Republican Leaders Alarmed That Cleveland May Seek the Governorship. 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. Editor Smith's Entry Cause of Worry. By James W. Faulkner. (Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) "Columbus, O. Apr. 5—Congressman 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 independence (on the part of the colored vote) is feared by them. Nor is there any disruising 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 immuno 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, as he said, 15,000 more than the total vote for Willis in 1918, as candidate for nomination for the Governorship. Editor Smith says that "Ohio Republican seems 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 candidates are made from among white aspirants, and the among or black voters becomes acuta. Two years ago, asserts Mr. Smith, he tried his best, through standing as a candidate for the secretary of state, to make Ohio Republican see the importance of treating the Negro voters differently. It now is clear, he continues, that the race must be done active in its own behalf and stop voluntarily to attend to it. The fellow to which it is entitled and out of which it has been kept without any encouraging outlook, takes from the attempt to "whitelist" the African-American race to be known.

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, Columbus, 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, told friends he would seek the Republican senatorial nomination. In all probability, will be Congressman D. P. Brown Yellow Springs, and possibly Atty, Wm. H. Boyd of Cleveland. The possible Editor Smith gubernatorial candidacy was not taken seriously until receipt here of editorial utterances in the Cleveland man's publication (The Gazette) which virtually promised, if assurances of support continued to be received, he would answer. "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 writes 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 Harper, the secretary of state, who were determined to confuse 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 Carmi A. Thompson, Cleveland, a nominee 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, B. April, 9—"We do not know that Judge Cleverenger of Wilmington will consent to become a candidate, but if he does, he ought to sweep this section of the state. "Northern Ohio, hogging the ring, has ceased to be a joke." The Negro issue again is called up prominently in the proposed candidacy 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 is being shaken. It is well that the Afro-Americans have been pleased with the American continent of their kindred in Haiti and San Domingo. Still less do they relish the manner in which the white Republicans have traded on the solid bloc vote that they have de livered 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 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 led to more of a situation than appears upon the surface. Friends of Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith are more or less apprehensive as to what the presence on his name like his would do to his chances. On the other hand there are reports Judge Smith's backers are inclined to blame Colonel Thompson's friends for the entrance of the Negro, and threats of retaliation have been heard.

"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. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, indolerant judgment, may condemn the countenances of virtue; 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 of friends."

The daily work-outs that the Fears Giants are getting are fast bringing them into form. The outfield in particular shows good, for Summers in left, Reele in center and Buster Claxton in right are all very fast and also hard hitters. Wm. Johnson, catcher, was formerly of Dayton Marcos. Henry Smith, first baseman, an 18-year-old youth, last year with the Oaks, looks like a great find. The Giants are anxious to get in touch with good teams desiring games early in May.

The Councilman Tom Fleming, who is apparently "down and out" as far as the Kohler administration of city affairs is concerned. All Drawn for this paper By Fisher Arthur Jacobs, a Cleveland boy is rapidly gaining the reputation of being one of the greatest jockeys since the days of Murphy, Perkins Clayton and other stars of years gone by. He was born on Erie St., now E. 9th St., and attracted great attention by his riding at Tia Juana. In his engagements there he gave promise of developing into one of the bright stars of the present day. He also rode several winners at Maple Heights, last fall. Good riders are scarce. But Jacobs seems to have all the qualification of a real luminary. Furthermore, he is not bothered by the preponderance of white riders. He not only has the skill and hands, but the heart as well and though several times given rough rides at Tia Juana, stood the gaff and in fact gave as good as he received. He works with his hands and heels and has shown ability to stage a rousing finish. He is a good judge of pace, studies his mounts and seems to have the knack of getting out all the speed they possess. Jacobs' contract is held by George West of Cleveland, who recognizes the boy's ability and will do everything in his power. Clevelanders will have chance to judge of Jacob's ability in the near future as he will have many mounts at the meeting due to open at Maple Heights, May 6. "Tut" in the Limelight. Things may happen in Washington C. H. Ohio, after 9 o'clock at night, but no one can prove it by Tut Jackson, as he seldom is up at that hour in his native city. He retires every night just after his evening meal, unless he has an engagement to knock out some aspiring heavyweight boxer who disputes his claim to greatness. Tut is one of the cleanest living boxers of the world, for he has no bad habits, such as smoking, chewing or testing moonshine on the hoof, Jackson's career in the magic circle was launched by Rev. W. Mueller of St. Andrew's mission in Washington C. H. The preacher invited Tut to put on the gloves with him in a gym one day and was so astounded at his hitting ability and quickness that he advised him to become a professional boxer. A former lightweight, signed a life contract with Tut to become his manager, there has been no discussion about financial affairs, as the money has been rolling in, and Jackson now is building a home for his mother and brother and sisters in Washington C. H. None of the heavies, not even Harry Wills, has anything on Jackson when compared to man to man for physical perfection, and Jackson has been building Jackson's services. One of the biggest offers is a $75,000 purse from a New York promoter for a fifteen-round go with Harry Wills—Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer. of which is as it should be and a perfectly natural sequence, "Poor Tom" is surely persona non grata with the Kohler Administration. Bad weather conditions do not prevent members of Ward 11 Central Body from assembling on their regular meeting night. Last Monday evening, the attendance was splendid in spite of rain (agam) and plenty of it. Important and very satisfactory committee reports were heard and several new committees applied to the case and secure the release of Frank Drayton who had been incarcerated in the county jail under most distressing circumstances for which he was in no wise responsible. A very interesting report is anticipated for next Monday evening when Central Body will meet as usual at Central Body, S.p.m. Councilman Tom Fleming's office, with the Drayton case being thorly investigated by the committee of which Vice-Pres. A. A. Trigg is chairman. After a lengthy discussion of the matter, the Central Body unanimously decided to drop Eugene R. Brown's name from its membership roll.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, but Give It to a Friend or an Acquaintance who Might Subscribe After Reading a Copy of It The Candidacy of One of Their Number for the Republican Nomination—Determined to Force Recognition. A GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill re- cepted, passed in the U.S. House of America's Christianity and Humanity is Being Questioned—We Must Fight for Our Rights! Four years ago, Frank B. Willis was nominated, by the Republicans of Ohio as their candidate for Governor, 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 Republican nomination for Secretary of State, received 61,081 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 nose" 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. (Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) Cleveland, Ohio, March 29. —Ohio Afro-American Republican 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 naturally inclines 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 Cincinn nati, 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. 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 candidacies 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 development and north-Ohio. Edith Smith's 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 basis How Long, Lord Will the South's I Cont America's Christianity and tioned—We Must F (Special to The Gazette.)

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 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 of him. In response to 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 we have given to 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 us more respectful, treating us differently and, as a result, according us greater consideration and some recognition. Those 61,018 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 book that won't come to help 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! d, O! How Long! nhuman Barbarities sinue? Humanity is Being Ques- right for Our Rights! tion 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 the mankind will submit to this treatment. Respect for our manhood, the world over, is very low. The quiet acquiescence in the treatment that ow Away Y end or an Ac rHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., APRIL 22, 1922. the south 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 cowardly the shrewd and the among races accept anything less than absolute freedom and equality. Political convivence is one reason why this shamful butchery of human beings is being carried on in the south. Then, too, deep 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. The cowardly the shrewd and the among races to remain a solid lawless group of states where it is conceded that an Afro-American can be treated as a white man pleasen 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 or the secrethor 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 managed by the south, is cowardly and compromising. At the bottom of the south's lawless stands the church with the policy that Afro-Americans are no brethren to be treated as secrethor. Secrethor 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 abhorrent childish begin school at six with the express understanding that they must be taught that they are inferior to white children. 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 abhorrent childish begin school at six with the express understanding that they 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. If the clergy do not would be as did the clergy of Ireland, this abimable 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, goes through the south, quite easily with the vickery given 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 the mouths. If for example, for men in and out of the south to do as Ireland and its friends, and cause America to cease this outrage against human beings. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods.

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 on 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. 182 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by & 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, and per person such children may recover 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, the widow receiving an amount shall be distributed among the sum 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 8.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) missioners of a county, against such recovery had, in spite of it with succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)

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 persons co-operating such mob. A person co-operating 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 law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hat Hat H. 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, bar-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the act of dining, the largest facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the persecutor and 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, and they must them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. 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 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, 1919. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I 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. Values in Business.
