YOU KNOW as much about the cost of living, its ups and its downs, as we do. There has been some slight drop in the cost of materials which are used in the production of gas. BUT the principal fact which increases the cost of getting gas is the growing scarcity of gas itself, and this is a condition which grows worse instead of better. THIS is true from perfectly natural causes. THE cost of getting gas out of the ground, for example, has increased over 500 per cent in the past ten years. WHAT the trend in the prices of materials and labor may be, we do not know, but we do know that the difficulties of countering a dwindling supply of natural gas more than offset any fluctuations in the materials market.

SEC, HARVEY SMITH'S "DOLLAR DRIVE." Voluntary Workers Form An Organization to Secure Campaign Contributions Throughout State. COLUMBUS, O., May 16.—A three-week campaign is to begin tomorrow to raise funds with which to assist Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith (white) in his campaign for the Republican nomination for governor. This announcement was made tonight by friends of the candidate. One dollar contributions will be sought, each donor to receive a callout bonus bearing the likeness of Judge Smith and the words: "For governor, Harvey C. Smith, my choice." Voluntary workers throughout the state have formed an organization to obtain the contributions. Maurice Langan, former Columbus hotel man and former president of the Columbus Charity Newsies, is in charge of the dollar drive. Two years ago, our candidacy for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State made Harvey C. Smith then as now holding the position, so something had breakfastly refused to do for about HAITI AND FREEDOM A U. S. Senator Flays U. S. "Imperialistic" Policy in Island—German Invasion Story Only a Pretext for U. S. Seizure of Haiti. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The American policy toward Haiti and San Domingo was flayed by Senator King, etah, in the Senate, last week Thursday afternoon. Among other things he said: "The United States should withdraw from the island immediately and permit the people to erect a wall against the seafloor of the United States toward the island republic is ruining our trade with South America; it is indicative of an imperialistic policy and is a deterrent to friendly feeling between this country and South America." NEW YORK CITY.—Ridiculing the statement of Robert Lansing, Secretary of State, under President Wilson, that the United States had taken Haitt to protect it from German invasion, James Weldon Johnson, sec. of the N. A., A. C. P., calls the story a pretext. He said: "The Americans landed forces in Haiti—which have not yet been withdrawn—on July 28, 1915, exactly twelve months after the so-called German threat of occupation. We should like to have Mr. Lansing tell why, if the occupation of Haiti by German was threatened, we should have taken months to get forces down to Haiti to avert that threat. The truth is, the German incident may now be used as an excuse but it was not the actual reason for our intervention. The fact of the matter is that the United States has done in Haiti precisely the things which it claims the Monroe Doctrine was established to keep any foreign power on doing harm, namely, the work of founding on the territory there; it has seized the Haitian custom houses and violated every safeguard which the Monroe Doctrine was designed to throw around the weaker republics to the south of us. Let the administration, let the government and let the American people come clean on this subject. Let them acknowledge that we have done and are still doing the Haitian people a grave injustice, the reason for stepping in, it gives us no right to take from the Haitian people their well-earned independence and sovereignty." two years preceding that time, and that is appoint an Afro-American to a clerkship in his office. His predecessor, Secretary C. Q. Hildebrand, had also refused us, for his two-year term of office, the recognition every Ohio Republican Secretary of State except them had freely given for more than thirty years. It was their refusal, along this line, that prompted the writing to stand as a candidate against them, for both of them were "in the field." too, two years ago. We so announced to the press of Columbus, the day we registered there, but the daily newspapers of the state capital refused to publish our statement. "The Old Reliable" Gazette did publish it, however, and repeatedly. Now then, we have been reliably informed that Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith showed his unfriendship toward our race in a Probate Judge at Zanesville, this state, long before moving to Columbus. One thing he going to be bestyler difficult for loyal, intelligent and honorable number of the race to vote for him for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, or any other, when he or she is put in possession of the foregoing information. Tell it, "brother and sister": TELL IT! PROF. RICH. T. GREENER DEAD Car First Harvard Graduate—Teacher, Poet, Scholar and Statesman. Chicago, Ill.—Prof. Richard Theodore Greener, teacher, poet, statesman, lecturer, writer and the first colored graduate of Harvard died here at his home, May 9. He was born in Philadelphia in 1844, attended Tiffin College Exeter Academy, entered Harvard, was librarian and secretary of the University of South Carolina during the reconstruction period, dean of the law department of Howard University and first principal of Dunbar High school, Washington, D. C.; served as U. S.' consul at Vladivostock, Russia, and at Bomby. During the Russia-Japanese war he officially represented Great Britain and Japan, and because of his service during the Chinese Boxer War in 1900, was decorated with the order of the Double Dragon by the Chinese government. Returning to the United States, Mr. Greener ceased to serve the City of Montgomery Commission and had charge of the erection of that famous memorial. Years ago, he was editor of "The National Era," Washington, D. C., and served as examiner on the New York Civil Service Board. Of late years he has lived in Chicago, devoting himself to literary and civil pursuits. "BACKWARD RACES" Prof. "Alphabetical" DuBois Asks Regard for Them and "Rides His Pan African Hobby.' The white man must arrange to live on terms of mutual respect with the colored races, because the declining white birth rate and the rise of self-respect among the "backward" races will bring them to the front, Wm. E. B. DuBois, editor and author, told the City Club, Saturday, noon. "There are a small number of each colored race who believe the matter of domination will be settled by a war," said Du Bols. "And when the World War broke out many countries whites fight and d e c m a t e their numbers—so much the better for the colored races. But most leaders of all the colored races believe the very self-interest of the white man will bring about an arrangement for living in partnership." Du Bols told of the "movement" known as the Pan-African conference (his "hobby"), describing how leaders among Afro-Americans had attacked him by using peace conference that perhaps the primary cause of the great war had been conflicts over control of raw materials and cheap labor in Africa and that hence no permanent peace and that hence no permanent settlement of the African problem. Du Bols said he and his delegates were unable to get a hearing, but did get as far as Col. House. Later, when they tried to join a conference in Europe, the United States would not permit Afro-American leaders to attend, nor would England, while Brussels newspapers declared the movement was financed by the Bolshevik. "But the 'red' funds failed to reach us," Du Bols said. The speaker described growing industries in Africa. He told of the change in the scientific attitude toward that continent, notably the exploding of the old idea that the black race had lived for ages without progress, whereas he said, history and recent restorations showed great progress and the probability that upon the west coast of Africa man first discovered the use of iron. "Take away the land of the natives, as European powers have done," DuBois said, "and you bring about the same poverty which curses too large a part of the civilized world. The Negro nowhere must be exploited, but pure white exploits, but pure self-interest, will soon come to see that everywhere the Negro be permitted to live, be taught how to work and how to save and build himself up." Many in the audience at St. John' A. M. E. church, Sunday afternoon, were there with the hope that the speaker would enlighten them as to the near $550 (Du Bois salaries paid) and the $250 (Du Bois Johnson White and Barrall) but were disappointed, DuBois merely referring to "My friend, Smith" forced by the lat- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS UNFAIR TO OUR PEOPLE Political Parties and Our Government Must Fight for Our Rights But In the Ranks of the Party The Booker T. Washington Monument What It Stands For. Jersey City, N. J.—The government of the United States is not fair toward colored people. American prejudice has unfitted seven out of every ten men, who must decide an issue between a white man and colored man, to do so on the merits of the case. This is especially true in the South. The policy of the South is seeking of colored people to be president of this vile type goes. Political parties have not and are now not just to the colored voter. Every group of American citizens is considered in the distribution of government patronage. This government gives to Negroes what whites will permit. In other words, the will of the white man must be the consideration in giving jobs to colored men and in the merits of the color. The million colored people are in this country. They are one-in-th of the entire population. They have a right to one-ninth of the government's positions. These positions begin at the lowest and go to the highest. The present Administration has greatly handicapped itself by catering to the unjust whims and imbalances of the men from holding offices in the south. This is a wrong that must be righted. The South is unjust and any catering to its policies is also unjust. Besides it is an insult for any officer of the government to say to a colored man, you cannot have such a position because white people object. At this point law ceases and the mob rules and the servants of the government defer to the mob instead of enforcing justice though the heavens fall. Negroes should be loyal to America but should fight the injustice of the administration of the government of America. A colored man has as much right to be colored as any white person except white men as the white man has. He who denies the colored man of this right does him a wrong and prostitutes this government. We colored Republicans expect justice and a square deal from this administration and failing to get it we shall do as other dor. FIGHT, not out of the party but inside. The monument erected to the late Booker T. Washington and the gathering together in Tuskegee representatives of the white and black races to do honor to him was a fitting tribute to a life that was spent in service and uplift for humanity. Booker Washington wrought well and his example will be inspiring to men of all races attempting to aid humanity. May this monument teach the South a lesson. Mr. Washington labored in a country where he knew justice for his own race could not be had. He sought to educate his men in the city and to teach them with the white southerner would occur the least. He labored to increase the wealth and usefulness of his people so that their independence from want would make them an asset rather than a liability. He cautioned his race to be patient and forgiving, hoping that a spirit of shame would come over the white South and the they in turn would surpass the color in that great virtue. He taught co-operation between the races always saying to his race shun the things that would make him unhappy. He hoped that would make for peace. In all of his acts he arose above the little and miserable. Booker Washington was not met by the South in his noble endeavors to unite both races in the things that make for peace. Mr. Washington was watched by the white South as a lion would his prey. By coercion and injustice the South forced him to accept what his own heart knew was unjust and inhuman. Against their brutality his soul rebelled but his desire to protect his defenseless race, in the hands of a savage people caused him to take what was given him and hope for time to come that defense would be better. Booker Washington loved justice and hated wrong. Booker did not for one moment endure the inhumanity of the white South toward his people, but his desire to prepare his people to be their own defenders, caused him to keep quiet. His quietness touching the wrongs of his people in the South caused him to be opposed by the ter's long effort to "smoke him out" on this particular question. The N. A. A. C. P. continues to collect Afro-American's money with its "ant-lynch toll" and pay it out in too large salaries, for "Pan African-Congresses" and for Haiti, African-Congresses" and to "foot" its own bills that Afro-American to "foot" heirs. Du Bois talks Saturday noon, to the City Club and at St. John's church. Sunday afternoon, were much the same. Waited Thirty Years Washington, D. C.—Appointment of Edward L. Dawkins as customs agent assigned to the appraiser's warehouse at Philadelphia was an- THE COPY FIVE CENTS OUR PEOPLE H Our Government but In the Ranks of the Party Washington Monument—stands For. most manly and thoughtful of his own race. A large number of them publicly approved of his silence, not because they had the high motives he, Washington, had, but because by THE MISSING MAN being attached to the Washington kite they could fly and get some of the crumbs that were falling. Others took their place by his side in order that they might use him as a guide, those taking his position did so for mercenary reasons. But Washington took his position because he felt that in a bad situation his position was the safer. However much one might differ from him, he is obliged to re-enter the situation him for him, he was able to accomplish. Washington's monument does not honor the South but is a condemnation of it. His life is not a tribute to the civilization and humanity of the South but a protest against a system of caste and prejudice practiced there which has made it a hell on earth! Ye white South, go to Tuskegee and bow before the monument and which was delivered by your bestiality and sent to an early grave by reason of your continued burdening of his spirit until it gave out. Go before the monument and behold your master in marble who was infinitely your superior in the virtues of kindness and justice. Kneel before that monument and confess your sins to an angry God who will forgive you and cause you to make preparation for the untold wickedness done the race of Booker Washington. Booker up at that monument and you could not. Booker could not. Day of the Booker Washington spirit, toward the inhuman South, passed away when he died. A World War brought about the realization of self determination for all races as well as the undisputed right to rule themselves and exercise every right of citizenship that any other race could. The South must earn its lesson. Tuskegee and a longer preach patience offered the turning of the toward the colored race. The black boys of Alabama are the equals of the white boys. Their education and training should cause them to realize it. Resentment against injustice and hatred toward the individuals that deny you a place among men are the just attributes of a real man. During the days of Mr. Washington it was the time of the crawling of the worm in the dust and suffering oppression, but when the worm is now, Tuskegee may be slow in getting into the ranks of those who openly resent now but it must ultimately come in with a spirit of leadership that will shake this country. The white church of the South as a whole lived a lie during the regime of Booker Washington and it is now time for this church to tear away from its hypocrisy and lead the way to real truth and freedom for all men. The soil of Alabama with its cursed race hatred, prejudice, lawlessness and violence is unfit to receive this monument but may its presence there be the means of making Alabama a civilized state.

The Bolshevist military rulers in Russia recently reviewed a portion of the army, consisting of 100,000 men. A labor leader in this country charges that a million dollar fund is available for bolshevist propaganda in the United States. And hundreds of thousands of men, women and children are alleged to be starving in Russia. Not much likelihood of the Soviet government receiving recognition by the United States until it mends its ways. --- A SAFE PLACE TO TALK The Democratic Senators who are trying to talk the tariff bill to death on the floor of the Senate will make as much progress toward party victory as they would if they were discussing the subject on the stump. The whole country wants a Republican tariff law enacted, and the Democrat who goes out on the stump fighting a protective tariff will learn that fact to his discomfiture. He will find a more patient audience in Washington than out in the industrial sections of the country. FUTILE PROPAGANDA. It is altogether likely that foreign propaganda in the United States has not been as extensive as sometimes reported but it has certainly been many, many times greater than it should be. The American people have become so thoroughly aroused on the subject, however, that there is little likelihood that future propaganda of foreign origin will have the effect intended for it. The man or organization giving chief attention to foreign interests will be set down as an anti-American, whatever sort of a "pro" he may have affixed to his name. A. D. Male of Mesopotamia was in the city, last Tuesday. He came from his fine Meadow Brook farm, of more than 300 acres, with twenty-one hogs, which netted him nearly $500. Mr. Male has sold over $1,000 worth of hogs this year, and is one of our most successful Ohio farmers. He also raises fine Holstein cattle, etc., and as the foregoing indicates, is very progressive. The editor of The Gazette is indebted to his long time friend for a half gallon can of maple syrup made on the Meadow Brook farm. DYER BILL DEATH KNELL. The U. S. Supreme Court decision, the other day, on the federal child labor law, again recognizing the doctrine of states rights, sounds the death knell of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill even if the U. S. Senate should enact it into law, something unlooked for since Chairman Borah and the rest of the members of the Judiciary Committee of that august body regard it as being unconstitutional. This has been the position of The Gazette from the very beginning of the N. A. A. C. P. effort to have a federal anti-lynching bill enacted into law. However, we have been willing to see such a bill passed by the federal legislator if for no other reason than to get a later-day ruling from the U. S. Supreme Court on such legislation. That, and that only, it seems, will stop the N. A. A. C. P. from collecting money from our poor people for the purpose of securing the enactment of such a "law." THE GENOA CONFERENCE. Sir George Palah, another of those British writers on economics, declares that the fate of the human race is at stake at Genoa. "Never was the human race exposed to greater danger than at this moment," says he. Sir George makes the common British mistake of confusing Europe with the whole "human race." He needs to be reminded that there is a large section of the race resident in the Western Hemisphere, which has not only existed but prospered while the monarchical bickerings of Europe have gone on year after year. The Western Hemisphere contains within itself all the elements of life and contentment, and permanent isolation from Europe would be but a passing annoyance. The negotiators at Genoa should get over the idea that they are settling the problems of the human race, and become convinced that what they are doing concerns their own countries almost entirely. If it were otherwise do they think the United States would have stayed away from Genoa? This country believed that the meeting held no direct interest for it, so no American delegates were sent. Sir George Palah makes the mistake, common to those wishing to inveigle this country into the affairs of Europe, of trying to make this nation believe that the welfare of the human race, including American welfare, is bound up in the Genoa conference. Americans may rest serene in the knowledge that such is not the fact. NOT AN "INDEPENDENT" CANDIDATE. In the President's home state of Ohio, we find that veteran Republican newspaperman and former member of the Ohio Legislature, Editor Harry C. Smith, threatening to make an independent campaign for the governorship. The fact that he received some sixty thousand votes for secretary of State in 1920 invests this movement with some importance. Whether it is merely a bid on the veteran's part for a juicy federal appointment remains to be seen.—N. Y. Age. Our good friend, Editor Fred Moore of the New York Age, is in error. We are not, at this time, "threatening to make any dependent campaign for the Governorship; nor is our probable candidacy "a bid on the veteran's (our) part for a juicy federal appointment." We have stated our position so plainly, so often, and have kept it standing on the last page of this paper so long, that we fail to see how our good friend of the New York Age came to make his mistake. How come, Brother Fred, Moore? If we enter the contest, as seems highly probable at this time, our candidacy will be regularly Republican and not "independent." As to future years? That is another thing—to be considered when the time comes. However, we are hopeful that Ohio Republicans will wake up, are long, and see the wisdom of treating our people of Ohio properly when it comes to making up their state ticket, and make an independent candidacy unnecessary at any time. --- "UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS?" Editor Wm. E. B. DuBois of New York City in an address in this city, last Saturday, is quoted by the local daily press as saying that "he and his delegates could not get a hearing at Versailles." This is the first time that we have ever heard that he went abroad with others as delegates, but have always understood that in order to get a passport from the American government to make the trip DuBois agreed not to do just what would be expected of delegates at Versailles truly representing our people of this country. Editor William Monroe Trotter of Boston was the only Afro-American delegate to reach Versailles and he did splendid work there in behalf of the race. Is DuBois again up to his old tricks—trying to claim credit that belongs to someone else? In his address, as usual, he spoke at length of his hobby, the alleged "Pan-African-Congress" and the Haitian troubles, two things the N. A. A. C. P. have spent hundreds if not thousands of hard-earned Afro-American* dollars dabbling into, when both Haitians and Africans are better able to bear the expense of their own fighting than are the so-called American "Negroes." We do not wish to be understood as being disinterested in the Haitian, Santo Domingo and Porto Rican troubles, because our sympathy goes out to them in common with that of all right-thinking persons who are familiar with the sad conditions existing in the three countries. However, we fail to see the wisdom of the N. A. A. C. P.'s collecting money from our poor people in this country to use in furthering the interests of peoples of other countries when they are better able financially to care for themselves than we are. Then, that nearly $35,000 paid four or five secretaries of the N. A. A. C. P. in the shape of salaries each year! THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., MAY 20. 1922. ADDITIONAL LOCALS Dr. J. K.

Chicago, Ill.—As a result of an amendment to Chicago's moving picture ordinance introduced by Alderman R. R. Jackson and passed by the city council, no permits in the future will be issued for the exhibition of pictures which tend to hold up to scorn certain races. Under the new amendment a ban has been put on pictures which use the title "tark," "dagge," "sheeny," "nigger," "turk," "muck," etc. The complete text of the amendment introduced by Alderman Jackson is as follows: Section 1627. Immoral pictures—permit not to be granted. If a picture or series of pictures for the showing or exhibition of which an application for the permit is made is immoral or obscene, or holds up to scorn or ridicule any nation or the people thereof, or portrays any riotous, disorderly or other unlawful scene, or has a tendency to disturb the public peace, or contain terms, titles, phrases such as "kike," "dago," "nigger," "micke," "turk," "coon," "mick," "mick," "mickey," which reflect opprobrium or ridicule on a race, nation, religious sect, denomination or constituted authority of the law, it shall be the duty of the General Superintendent of Police to refuse such permit, otherwise it shall be his duty to grant such permit. JOHN BROWN ANNIVERSARY Celebration a Great Success.—Barber and Burwil the Speakers. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 11, 22."One the celebration of the 122nd anniversary of the birth of John Brown at Lake Placid, N. Y., was a tremendous success. A thousand white people went out from Saranac Lake and Lake Placid as well as North Elba to the memorial services at the grave. One hundred and fifty automobiles were there, the public school children took holiday, and the schoolchildren marched three and one-half miles to be there. The papers gave use great mention and the people spoke of it as an event long deferred which should have been before. In the audience at the grave were a judge of the county, lawyers, doctors, teachers and schoolboard members; the chamber of commerce sent a distinguished citizen who were taken by dozens of different people. School children begged us to pose for their civil classes. The town photographer had a movie camera and promised to get us for the Pathe News service. We laid a beautiful wreath on the grave and I spoke from the top of a great rock overlooking the grave. The people up there regard John Brown as a saint. A letter was read from one of Brown's nights. A night Barron Brewster, who was reared in Brown's family, spoke Lyman Epps, the only Afro-American in the town, who knew Brown, was in a quartette which sang at Brown's funeral. He sang the same song, Tuesday night, altho he is more than seventy-five. Dr. Murray spoke to a crowded church at night.

Ward 11 Central Body meeting, last Monday evening, was unusually well attended and considerable important business transacted. The organization is making splendid progress and its growth is healthy.

The place of meeting and plan will be announced in our next issue. The meeting who made last Sunday's meeting Triedstone Baptist church will certainly not fail to attend the next one. A REALLY GREAT MEETING Ward 11 Central Body Astonishes and Thrills and Pleases, Last Sunday Afternoon Sunday afternoon's Ward 11. Central Body mass meeting of residents of wards 11 and 12, at Triedstone Baptist church, was really a great meeting in spite of the counter attractions—the local branch N. A. A. C. P. meeting, at St. John's A. M. E. church; the evangelical meeting, at Antioch Baptist church; the K. of P.'s and Odd Fellows' demonstrations at two of our other churches and other Sunday afternoon gatherings. It was opened with a song service that lasted fifteen minutes. After an introductory talk by the Flon. Harry C. Smith, president of Ward 11 Central Body, Editor Maurice Kahn, the principal speaker, was introduced and for one hour aroused the large audience, which nearly filled the spacious auditorium of the enthusiasm that showed beyond all question that the residents of that city are very comfortable alive and in earnest in the effort to continue the improvement of the moral and living conditions of the Central, Scovill and Woodland Ae. sections of Cleveland so encouragingly begun by the Kohler administration, the defeat of Mayor FitzLerald and the removal of "Starlight" Boyd. Mr. Kahn is an exceptionally fine speaker. The two other outstanding features of the meeting were the cornet and vocal solos by J. Plechak and M. Hallie Jackson, respectively. Both were deservedly enthusiastically enced. The former's playing on the instrument and the latter's deep, strong remarkably fine and their beautiful selections artistically rendered. Brief but pointed remarks that pleased greatly were made by Rev J. R. Yewell and Rev. C. Johns, pastor and assistant pastor, respectively and by Editor Smith closing one of the most remarkably successful mass meetings ever held in this city. It is the first of a series that will be promoted by Ward 11 Central Body, this spring and early summer.

OHIO STIRRED UP Over the Probable Candidacy for Governor of the Editor of "The Gazette"—Great Thing for Our People Detroit, Mich., May 9, 1922. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Blackstone Bldg. Cleveland, Ohio. No, Harry—You surely have Ohio finally stirred up over your candidacy for governor, and I believe this is the best move ever inaugurated among our people for political power. You have made good and you are capable of holding any position within the gift of the people and should stand out boldly in favor of nocturning office, not be afraid to go to bat with any and all opponents within the primaries or other means of attaining candidacy for the various political positions. Nothing that has happened within recent years has done more to enhance the respect other people have for our race than the dignified and determined effort to run for high office. Atty. Ashble Hawkins for Senator in Maryland, Editor in chief of the poll for Virginia, and now the Hon. Harry C. Smith for Governor in Ohio, is putting a palatable taste in the mouths of the people of our race and will stir them politically as nothing in recent years has done as well as inculcate pride for their own, with races it is much the same as in recent years. I apt to hold a higher opinion of us than we hold of ourselves—and the political movement to run for office is a move made in the right direction which I hope will be maintained though it may be a long time before we reach the goal. The day surely will come when many white people will come to "the colored brother" who promiscuously have so long and patiently waited for, only to be fooled by one party then another, the same as the colored people have continually been fooled into believing that any one party, no matter how badly mismanaged, was their best friend. Francis H. Warren, My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of fear 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. Wm. H. Austin's Classy Shining Parlor and Pressing Shop Ladies' and Gents' Clothes cleaned and pressed.

NEW YORK CITY.—Efforts are being made by a number of our prominent citizens as to the "why and wherefore" of the mysterious ban against mixed bouts in this state. The boxing law does not discriminate and yet the promoters dare not book them. Geo. Moore, manager of Danny Edwards, the bantam wonder from the west, has been a leader in the fight against this discrimination. Recently a large delegation headed by Col. Class, the president and Alderman G. W. Harris called on Samuel Koenig, Republican county chairman, to enlist his aid in the war on the ban. Mr. Koenig assured the committee he would carry the fight to the boxing commission and if necessary to Gov. Miller. Fears Win in Pittsburg PITTSBURG, Pa.—The Cleveland Fears Giants, in an interesting game, beat the Homestead Greys here, last week Thursday, 8 to 6.

A GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill recently passed in the U.S. House of PROBABLE CANDIDACY Republican Leaders Alarmed That Cleveland May Seek the Governorship. 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 an 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 in the fall of 1820, 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- natif. 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 endorsement—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 to campaign speaker is well-known in the state, particularly in Cleveland and northern Ohio. Editor Smith's feature-accomplishments, as a member of the Ohio Assembly, in the estimation of his people, are Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching law, the latter the basis 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 nom- Harry C. Smith. Representatives and now pending in the U. S. Senate—Cincinnati Enquirer. Sec. Harvey Smith's Old Wail! Cleveland, O., April 3.—Having reference to the statement from Columbus, published in The Enquirer, last Thursday that the "friends of Judge Smith" had written to the 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 expected the State to be responsible for his candidacy as was proven to be the case two years ago in the State Supreme Court when he forced Secretary of State Smith, as State Supervisor of Elections, to place his name upon the primary ballots after he had ordered it to be left off of them. In further explanation of his probable candidacy, Editor Smith called attention to the following leading article in 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 Anti-Party voters in this state. They do not seem to think, even yet (in the face of their experience of two years ago), that our people are entitled to any other consideration except that, which comes after they have nominated all their candidates (white) for the various offices being sought and "the colored brother" is needed to help elect them. Two years ago, the editor of The Gazette, with the backing of our people of this state, tried his best, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, to make Ohio Republicans see the importance of treating us differently and, as a result, according us greater consideration and some recognition. Those 61,081 votes we received, two years ago, was a warning which, it seems, has not been taken seriously enough. Four years ago, the Hon. Frank B. Willis was nominated as the Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, receiving but 45,000 votes. Two years ago the editor of The Gazette received 61,081 votes as a Republican candidate for Secretary of State; over 15,000 more votes than Mr. Willis received in 1978. 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 waging the war, "we" 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! ination 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 'AHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., MAY 20, 1922. 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 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. (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 in the newspaper's independence (on the part of the colored vote) is feared by them. Nor is there any disgust 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 brought 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 party. At the 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 the nomination after affirmations are made from among white aspirants, and the demand for black votes becomes acute. 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 the other fellow voluntarily to give 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, 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, 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 possition Editor Smith gubernatorial candidacy will 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 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 total of three. At this time he was charged by MS. Smith 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 candidate. A. Thomas 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, 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 because of his solidarity. The Negro solidarity is being shaken. It is understood well that the Afro-Americans have not been pleased with the American treatment of their kindred in Halti 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 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 the ballot of another name like his would do to his chances. On the other hand, there are reports Judge Smith's backers are among the names of the Companion's friends for the entrance of the Negro, and threats of retaliation have been heard. 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., 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. More than his supporters have issued numerous denials to argue that he was brought into the race to defeat the Secretary of State, Harvey C. Smith. Back of the candidacy of Editor Smith is a question of recognition. Plans to molly 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 barred from the branch of the bureau dealing with inspection of certified herds because the veterinarians usually are entertained at the homes of the dairymen whose herds are inspected, and from the State Serum Farm at Reynoldsburg. The place at state institutions was finally formed. As the IF THE GAZ who Might S 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 columns carried a press dispatch from Cleveland which stated that Harry Clay Smith, editor of a newspaper, was considering the advisability of announcing himself as a candidate for the Republican nomination governor of Ohio. The suggestion seemed so novel and appealing that he carried in "box" on your first page under the caption 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 any other Republican state. The Republican party certainly owes everything to the Afro-American vote. It rode into power on his back before the civil war and has been astride his neck ever since. In the more than 40 years that I 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 win with it. In the past 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 treadeth 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 spills? Why not an Afro-American governor for the Republic 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. If They Only Knew a Way to Get Editor Smith Out of the Race, How Happy They Would Be. Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. Columbus, O., April 15.—Judge Harvey C. Smith, Secretary of State, struck out at the Hon. Harry C. Smith, Cleveland editor, who he says (but is wrong) was injected into the Republican race against him in 1920. His continued references to Editor Smith have aroused considerable interest throughout the state, although no other candidate has replied to him directly. It was stated, however, that the supporters of Col. Carmi A. Thompson, of Cleveland, were disturbed as much as was Secretary Smith over the prospective entrance of Editor Smith into the primaries this year. They feel that he will be as much of a handicap to them as in Secretary Smith, because he lives in Cleveland, home of Col. Thompson (and Senator Arthur H. Day, another Cleveland candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor), where Thompson and expanded his role of the From his supporters comes the suggestion that if they knew of a way to accomplish it, they gladly would join the forces of Secretary Smith to eliminate Editor Smith and confine the primary election contest to candidates of the Caucasian (composite) race. The other and third candidates, in wish to the editor, who says that he is awaiting the sentiment of his race to bring him out as a candidate definitely. He has heard from many, he says, and they wish him to run as their candidate, but he prefers to hear from others in southern and central Ohio before making up his mind. The Columbus organ of Afro-Americans has appeal for Afro-American candidates of color and reveals that, in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Dayton, Afro-Americans again will be candidates for Republican nominations for seats in the Ohio General Assembly, and every effort will be made to see that once nominated, they are elected in the 1920 election, notwithstanding the landslide, Afro-Americans elected only one candidate out of six nominees. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR Omaha, Neb. April 20th, 1922. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Harry: I am indeed pleased to congratulate you in your effort. We can do nothing unless we try! Assisted by the population you have, of our people in your state, and your many white friends, you cannot but feel assured of the nomination and election to the Governorship of the great state of Ohio. I urge you to whole duty as men and women should, in a contest of this kind—lay aside all feelings and do their full duty in protecting the rights of a race-loving and respecting people, and if only one-third of the 125,000 voters in Ohio would sacrifice all for one—they cannot help but bring about the desired which is justly the duty. I pray every colored man and woman voter in Ohio will do their whole duty as never before. Every state in the Union is looking to Ohio for a "Moses to lead them to victory" and bring about that consideration which is proper due us as American citizens. God bless you and crown your efforts. With kindest regards, I am, as ever, your friend for success. Sincerely, F. L. BARNETT.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many reader: 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 a restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars, or not more than 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 perimeter 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 that the law is often as often as they should, but expect it to them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the court. 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 to which a published an editorial to which an editor The Gazette replied, calling it 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: Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. EDUAR. The Gazette Cleveland, G. the Bear Sir: Observing your letter to the Bear Sir: Observing your letter i venture to send your letter, of this city, a coverate 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- cided 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 I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education—in all phases of education. I believe, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the 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 can and must be worked out at six per cent.
