THIRTY-NINTH YEAR No. 40 WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical— Marriages, Deaths, Etc. ANOTHER Great Mass Meeting at Second Mt. Olive Baptist Church Cor. Scovill Ave. and E. 28th St. Sunday Afternoon, May 28, 1922 (at 2:30 p. m.) SPEAKERS Editor Maurice Kahn, Mrs. Fannie J.

SMALL INVESTOR GREAT CAT OIL CO. WILDCAT OIL CO. PARK LAND CO. QUEST AS THE RICHMAN DAD BUM HARPER JOHNSON The small investors furnish the great mass of victims of the swindlers who are everlastingly out for "easy money," although the disclosures of recent date show that the big operators get bigger fish. However, the vast sums of money which go into the baskets of the sharpers come from people of small means, men and women who have worked hard, raked and scraped and saved a little at a time. The United States Government Savings System offers a safe investment and a sure return in the new Treasury Savings Certificates, paying 4½ per cent interest compounded semi-annually. They are sold at all post offices in denominations of $25, $100 and $1,000, at $20, $80 and $800, and are redeemed at their face value in five years. That is 25 per cent in five years. Besides, the certificates are tax exempt, except estate and inheritance taxes. It would be better for the small investor to take his savings to Uncle Sam instead of handing them over to the sharks represented in the cartoon. They will get his money and keep it. The Government will hand it back with a 25 per cent increase. And what is very important, the investor will have the supreme satisfaction of knowing that his money is safe all the time.

"THE FUR WILL FLY." Ohio Afro-Americans' Opportunity—They Will Have the Support of Our People the Country Over. Washington, D. C., May 21, '22. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Harry: I have been watching the trend of affairs thru The Gazette, and hope you will finally decide to enter the race for the Republican nomination for Governor. This is our opportunity to show that we can stand together in the support of a fearless, clean, capable RACE man. I want to assure you of my hearty support and believe that your friends everywhere will be bound Ohio's colored voters. It enlaces our friends to read in The Gazette that "you have no man's ring in your nose." Yurt anti-lynching law and civil rights law are sufficient evidence of the constructive work you wrought when representing the race in the Ohio Assembly. It will help us more than you to stand solidly for you in this effort. Be sure and come to visit us before you get into the thick of the Ohio fight. Once in it, your coat is off, your sleeves rolled up, and "the fur will fly." DELIBERATION, NOT VACILLATION, Washington, D. C.—There is no vacillation in the Harding make-up. The present incumbent of the White House is deliberate in forming his opinions and is remarkably sound, as a rule, in the conclusions he reaches. Having reached a decision in public affairs he adheres to it, unless some change in circumstances gives good cause for a change in his attitude. After weighing all the facts regarding the Genoa conference, President Harding decided that it was not such a conference as this country should take part in, since its purposes were political rather than economic. The conference came to taught and immediately a subsequent conference was planned and an invitation cabled to the United States. On the same day of receipt of the invitation, Mr. Harding declined it, saying that the same reasons which prompted the rejection of the former invitation are applicable now. Thus he strengthens the confidence the American people have manifested in his wisdom, courage and foresight. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Oliver, E. 43rd. St., have moved to Berwick Road. Sunday, from 4 to 7 p. m., there will be a public reception at the Phillis Wheatly home. A splendid program will be rendered after which inspection of the home will be afforded. PROF. RICHARD T. GREENER Remembered The Anglo-African Magazine and Frederick Douglass! "North Star" the First Race Journal He Ever Saw—Congratulates the "Old Reliable Gazette." As was stated in a recent issue of The Gazette, Prof. Richard T. Greener, an exceptionally fine portrait of whom we are publishing herewith, was our first graduate of Harvard College (1870). He received the degrees of L. L. B. from the University of North Carolina in 1876, and from 1880 to 1883 was dean of the law department of Howard University; civil service examiner in New York City, from 1885-1890; secretary of the Grant Memorial Association, 1885-1892, and consul to Bombay and Vladivostok, from 1898-1906. As has been stated, Prof. Greener was teacher, writer, lecturer, diplomatist, and for several years prior to his death, a lawyer in Chicago. The following communication from him, written in 1916, soon after he located in the "Windy City." will be of special interest to our many readers at this time: 5237 Ellis Ave., Chicago, Ill., Oct. 27, 16. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, My dear friend:—The receipt of The Gazette, entered upon its 34th year, recalls the years you have spent so usefully in recording not only events in your own city and state; but the annals of Negro effort and advancement, in social life and political action. My impression is that you hold the record, or do you divide it with the Philadelphia Tribune? At any rate, such continuity of editorial work marks long service to race ideals, and should meet the "well-done" plaudits of all who are ambitions for the real advance of our people. I thank you for the copy sent, which I shall place with some souvenirs of racial journalism, in which I once bore a small part. In my days at Washington, I used to collect old documents relating to the race, and chanced upon a bound volume of "Freedom's Journal," Cornish and Russworm editors, 1827? I recall Frederick Douglass, North Star, the first race journal I saw, and remember The Anglo-African Magazine, one of the ablest of our reviews. Accept my heartlest congratulations and believe me, ever, Sincerely and appreciatively yours, B. T. Greener. P. S.: I am sending this particular photo; because it shows part of my decoration from the Emperor of China, on account of services rendered during the Boxer War. It constitutes me one of the Mandarin class—persons entitled to hold office under the Chinese government. R. T. G. On the back of the photo referred to in the postscript of Prof. Greener's letter, was written the following: "To my dear friend—Harry C. Smith, journalist, editor, legislator, publicist, in all phases of so active a life, ever patriotic, strenuous, and generous; a hard fighter, a despiser of shams; always appreciative of worth and real work!" "Richard T. Greener, Chicago, Ill., Oct. 27, '16." A very pretty souvenir post-card announces the safe arrival in Indianapolis of Dr. J. K. Nickens of this city who is headed west on a lecture tour of several weeks. E. 36th and 37th Sts., north of Scovill Ave., fairly swarmed with people. Sunday afternoon, as a result of shooting and cutting affrays. These following the alleged shooting to death of her husband, about a week ago, in the same vicinity of E. 37th St., by a woman of the race by the name of Howard, have brought about a condition in that section very similar to that existing there during the "Starlight" days of last year and several years previous to 1921. Do not fall to attend the great mass meeting to be held in Second Mt. Olive Baptist church, corner Scovill Ave., and E. 28th St., Sunday afternoon, and learn how and what to do to protect your home, and children from obnoxious gambler, dope-friend, bawdy-house, "boot-legging" neighbors, etc., and thus help to make the moral and living conditions of Wards 11 and 12 better than they are. Ward 11 Central Body will help you. Tell your friends and neighbors to be sure and attend the meeting, also. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS POOR BLEEDING HAITI! U. S. Marine Rule of Haitian Affairs Roundly Scored By a Former Clevelander—Haitians Enter Another Vigorous Protest—Organized "Civil Disobedience" America Being Aroused! Washington, . . . D. C.—Organized "civil disobedience" has been decreed in Haiti as a protest against the "illegal election to the Presidency of the constitutionally ineligible candidate, Louis Borno, and his recognition by the American high commissioner," according to a cablegram received, May 19, by the Haiti-Santo Domingo Independence Society. The message said the American government had been formally notified of the action taken. Good! The United States, in continuing control in Haiti, has violated its own Monroe doctrine and stands in the eyes of the world as a hypocrite, Ernest Angell (white), former Cleveland, O., lawyer and a charter member of the Cleveland City Club, told that organization in The Hollden ball room, Cleveland, O., last Saturday, Mr. Angell, at one time associated with Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, now is counsel for the Haiti-San Domingo Independence Society, and recently attacked American behavior in Haiti before U. S. senate investigators. was all right, he declared. But we followed it by having American officers, on the floor when the chamber elected a new president, our candidate, who had promised to do all that Americans might wish, in return for their support. Two days later we were presented this treaty giving the United States complete control. But our worse offense was our use of the ancient Haitian law of corvee—by which every man must give three days labor, without pay, on the roads. We took Haitians—not criminals you, but law-abiding citizens—and, after their three days were up, compelled them to keep on working, many of them roped together in gangs and held at night in barbed wire cages, with our soldiers shooting those who attempted to escape. This, naturally, led to revolt, in which 2,250 Haitians and twenty two American marines were killed. Mr. Angell said Americans had done to benefit the island, built roads, cleaned up, established and efficient gendarmeria, stabilized the currency, cut down graft and eliminated inefficiency in government. "We should abrogate the vicious treaty of 1915 which we forced upon laith, withdraw our troops and restore the government there to freedom," Mr. Angel said. "Perhaps we should stay on to help complete a fine road system we have built on the government—if we are invited." Chalmis U. S. Ran Elections. "The landing of U. S. marines Cleveland. O.. Nov. 6, 1921. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Dear Sir:—I would like for as many mothers to see this letter as possible. If there is any way you can get it, I will sending papers also in some kind of pamphlet form I wish you would do so. If you think it will be of any service, I felt so indignant after reading the four women's "resolutions" in the interest of "Starlight" Boyd and Councillor Fleming that I could not help but answer it to the best of my ability. To the conscientious, thinking mothers of the 11th ward: I, one of the many right-thinking mothers of Ward 11, do condemn the "committee" of four women for the published "resolutions" such as they were, evidently drawn up for them, against the Hon. Harry C. Smith during the recent campaign, because of true statements made by him as to the immoral and bad living conditions in Ward 11. The statements made by Mr. Smith are absolutely true. I live in the heart of the 11th ward and know the sad conditions existing there. To my mind, Mr. Smith did not put enough emphasis on his statements, for not only myself but every intelligent mother and father in the ward knows that vice, crime, gambling and "dope" selling have reached their limit and gone beyond it. And those of us in the ward who stand for high morals cannot and will not tolerate such conditions any longer, if our work will help to eliminate them and make the ward a clean, safe place to live in. The four women who signed their names to those misleading "resolutions" ought to be ashamed. I certainly would not want my name circulated through the city and county uphold such consciences. could not rest on such consciences and you are sorry that you did such a thing. You know that we cannot walk some streets in our ward without being insulted by vicious made by men and women of the race. Maybe some of the sake because they like them and to like vice one would have to be vicious. Let me appeal to your better inner selves, for our coming generations sake. Please help wipe out the vice, crime, "dope" pedding and gambling that is so rampant in our ward. The Hon. Harry C. Smith did not say that the 11th ward is the only one in which vice, crime and gambling flourish, but this is the ward in which he lives and he naturally knows what is going on in his ward. This is the ward we must give an account of. Not only does he know the conditions in this ward but you, too, know them as well as I do. Now rally and do as I hope all will do—help a man who is willing, and can help us to get rid of these conditions, and make the ward a safe place to live and rear our children in. THE TRUTH IS THE LIGHT; we may as well have the truth. All eyes are turned on this, the 11th ward. Not only have these eyes been watching us recently, but they have been watching us a long, long while, because of the number of our people LE COPY FIVE CENTS EDING HAITI! of Haitian Affairs y Scored -Haitians Enter Another Vig ed "Civil Disobedience" being Aroused! was all right, he declared. But we followed it by having American officers, on the floor when the chamber elected a new president, our candidate, who had promised to do all that Americans might wish, in return for their support.

Mr. Angell said Americans had done much to benefit the island, built roads, cleaned up, established and efficient gendarmerie stabilized the currency, cut down graft and eliminated inefficiency in government. He also said that the harm done Haiti and its people by southern Democrats during the American occupation of the island far outweigh all the good, and is turning about all of the South American countries against the United States. There has been too many killings, outrages of various kinds and too much usurpation of authority and much practical slavery. living here. Let us use good judgment, act wisely and restore this the 11th ward to normal decency. Mrs. A. C. Palmer. FOUR BISHOPS ELECTED By the C. M. E. Church General Conference—Federal Council of Churches' Race Commission Endorsed. St. Louis, Mo.—The General Conference of the C. M. E. Church, in session here several weeks ago, accomplished a large amount of legislative work. The bishops elected were: Dr. R. T. Brown of Alabama, Dr. J. C. Martin and Rev. J. A. Hamlett of Tennessee, and Dr. J. W. McKinney of Texas. Bishop C. N. Cleaves presided. Among the fraternal speakers presented to the Conference were Dr. Wm. Alexander and Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, secretaries of the Commission on Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches. Dr. Alexander is also executive director of the Commission on Inter-Racial Co-Operation. He recounted the organization of inter-racial committees throughout the South and said that people now are about 4,000 white people in the organization who believe in and are seeking equal opportunity for their co-American neighbors. Dr. Haynes also was heartily received by the Conference and spoke of racial cooperation, saying it was based upon racial understanding and appreciation, and that the commission is seeking to get the ideal brotherhood applied to race relations in communities. The General Conference voted unanimously to endorse the Commission on Church and Race Relations. Dr. Haynes also addressed the Women's Connection Council, which endorsed the Commission, and their work. The second rally for Wilberforce University will be held at St. John's A. M. E. church, Sunday. "It really makes some difference at the end of a year," says Chairman Adams of the Republican National Committees, "whether the government has been controlled by an administration that is generally right or by one that is generally wrong." The voters agree with Mr. Adams, and will cast their ballots accordingly, next November. The former administration was generally wrong and was repudiated by a 7,000,000 plurality. The Harding Administration has been generally right; and the vote of confidence it received in 1920 will be repeated next fall. Rev. Boston J. Prince, who some weeks ago gave up his large charge in Chicago, preached Sunday morning and evening at Shiloh Baptist church, to congregations that completely filled its large auditorium and Sunday School room. On the suggestion of the pastor, Rev. C. G. Flahback, who has been very ill for months and is still unable to perform his church duties, and at the request of the officers of Shiloh, Dr. Prince will return the first Sunday in June to take charge of the church during the illness of his pastor his friend. For many weeks Shiloh has felt the need of such a guiding hand and is to be congratulated upon securing the services temporarily, of its former pastor --- One Year ..... $2.0 six Months ..... 1.00 three Months ..... 5 Subscribers are requested to remit by Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

MAY 27. 1922 The more we read of Lady Astor's speeches the better we like our own lady politicians, even if she is American born. --- Despite their starving condition it is said the Russian peasants refuse to eat crowds. But the Russian representatives at the Genoa conference made the conferences eat crow. --- "Genoa Parley Doomed Unless America Goes In."—News headline And America would be doomed if she went in. We prefer the first alternative. Stated in plain English, the demand of the Bolshevist is "Loan us a billion dollars or we will run amuck." Then if they get the billion dollars they will use it to buy ammunition with which to run amuck. --- The "furore" over the President's action, in removing some officials at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, has died away. The new director has dispensed with the services of 600 Democratic employees, most of them from the south, taken a complete inventory of the establishment and put it on a strictly business basis, and the President is comforted with the knowledge that his policies of efficiency and retrenchment have the whole hearted support of those charged with the duty of carrying them out. --- The foreign trade of the United States is improving more rapidly than that of any other country. Secretary Hoover has assembled figures that conclusively prove the fact. It means that the aggressively American policies of the Shipping Board, the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, and the whole Harding administration are having their effect and the United States is gaining in the fight for world trade supremacy. Senator Norris of Nebraska says that if Mr. Henry Ford was given Muscle Shoals on his own terms he could take the contract to New York and borrow 1,000 per cent of what it cost him. The Senator has personally inspected the property and knows whereof he speaks. Fortunately the Republicans of Congress are not carried away by the Ford brand of publicity, and will dispose of the property only as the best interests of the country may dictate. --- N. A. A. C. P. AND DYER BILL. N. E. R. R. L. Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter, editor of the "Boston Guardian," informs the race press that the recent visit of a National Equal Rights League delegation to Senator H. C. Lodge brought about the reporting out of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill by the sub-committee of the judiciary committee of the U. S. Senate, of which Sen. Wm. E. Borah is chairman. Also that Senator Borah claims that the delay in reporting out the bill was caused by a failure of the N. A. A. C. P.'s lawyers to file their brief with his committee, that his committee was tired of being blamed for the delay, that he did not believe in killing any bill in committee, and that he did not believe in the bill because he and most of the members of his committee regarded it as unconstitutional. The unnecessary delay, in reporting the bill from the committee, gave the N. A. A. C. P. additional time in which to put on an inner drive for (money) new members while the interest of our people, the country over, in the lynching matter was possibly at its highest pitch. Method in this! --- Last Friday morning in a Scovill Ave. car, when the writer was enroute to The Gazette office, an ignorant, loud-mouthed, thick and duck-lipped, "raisin-jack," whisky-headed "Negro" boarded the car, and made himself the usual nuisance until the car reached the middle of the Public Square. Sunday evening, two well-dressed and apparently fairly intelligent, robust women of the race sat in a car of the same line going east, one of whom talked so loud nearly everybody in the car heard what she said. She seemed to glory in the fact that she was attracting general attention. Really, some of our people are past understanding. They do not seem to realize the fact that they are making and multiplying enemies of the race by their lack of even ordinary judgement in the street cars, on the streets and in other public places. Our ministers can help greatly if they will take up and discuss these matters and enlist the assistance of the members of their congregations. We simply must do something to stop such harmful exhibitions in public places. THE SOUTH AND SUFFRAGE. One Mary W. Pettit (white), who wrote Mr. Benj. Karr of the Cleveland Daily News some weeks ago does not seem to know that a southern state, with or without a disfranchisement "law," has not the right to "regulate its own suffrage" when it comes to electing its members of Congress and presidential electors. And yet this very thing is done in every state in the South "having a disfranchisement law." No state (south or north) has a legal right to unfairly administer educational qualifications for voting as most of the southern states do. Further, the poor white of the South, particularly the "crackers," are not "well educated," yet do not suffer. Miss Pettit says Negroes in the South are denied the right to vote because they are not well educated. Her reference to Negro-controlled southern states during the reconstruction period, and to Liberia, the little black republic, recalls the fact that that little African country is better ruled than our southern states, which are hardly better governed, in more respects than the matter of voting and elections, than the Negro-controlled states shortly after the War of the Rebellian. A Negro U. S. Senator could not be induced to publicly display such brazen effrontery as Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi put on exhibition in this city some weeks ago and at divers times in the U. S. Senafu, since the defeat of President Thomas Woodrow Wilson. Miss Pettit's statements to Mr. Karr that you are stirring up racial troubles," dealing with a hornet's nest" and that "Republican statesmen intend to leave the question to the South," as are characteristically "southern" as they are amusing. Senators Williams and Pat "Harrison" are at the head of the Mississippi Democratic machine, which is "responsible" for the existence" of that state's disfranchisement law which produces the alleged Democratic "majorities" in Mississippi. Therefore, their "culpability" is certainly in question. There can be no comparison between their cases and Senator Newberry's. The ballot-box stuffing, lynch-murder, night-rider and Ku Klux Klan methods invoked by the Democratic organization in Mississippi about election time, for many years, are too notorious to necessitate comment. The money spent by his Michigan friends in Senator Newberry's campaign is in no sense a parallel. ADDITIONAL LOCALS J. J.

Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO You advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "all days." The person who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the consecrious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, indignation, condemn, the maintenance, relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the pleasure of the relatives or the hearts of friends." — Charles Sumner.

H., O.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, could speak with a theatrical company, wants to meet Tut Jackson, local heavyweight who recently knocked out Sam Langford, according to Billy Palmer, Jackson's manager. Palmer says he was willing to send Jackson against Johnson at any time for twenty rounds or more, providing the national boxing commission sanctioned the bout, Johnson having been barred. It would be far better for Palmer to have won the fight. The fine points of the art of boxing. That would make the latter a premier fighter beyond all question or doubt. Tut Lands Two Kayoes. CINCINNATI, O.—After administering a second knockout to Battling Randolph. Springfield, the referee granted a kayo victory to Tut Jackson. Washington C. H., in the fourth round of a scheduled twelve-round bout here, Monday evening. After battering his opponent around for two frames, Tut landed a right to the jaw early in the third round that sent his opponent to the mat, where he was counted out. The boxing commissioners, however, were not satisfied with the kayo, and ordered the men to proceed. Tut resumed his bombardment in the fourth and ended the match with a second knockout wallop that put the battered Randolph out for several minutes. This was brutal. Clinthorne Star Track Man Mohne Star Track Man. The northern College meet at Lakewood Saturday, the second in a victory for Oberlin, whose track men ran up a total of 65-1-5 points to 40-1-5 for Case, who held the lead until the closing event. Jus Clinthorne of Case and Clipson of Oberlin were heavy scorers with 9-1-4 and 10 points, respectively. The keen rivalry between Clinthorne and McConnell of Reserve resulted in the former having the edge in Saturday's races. The Scientist (Jus) obtained a one-yard margin on McConnell in the 100-yard dash and held the lead all day. The second team was matched in a dead heat between them when the Reserver picked up speed at the finish. We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. "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 skim 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.

"BAREFOOTED PATH' TO PINNACLE OF HEALTH This the Creed of Man Who Years Age Discarded Shoes and Stockings If you would be healthy go "bare-footed." This is the creed of Eugene Willard of Chelsea, Mass., who has discarded shoes and stockings. Even on the coldest days of winter, the thermometer is hovering about the zero mark and the ice wind drives people to cover. Allard is performing manual labor out of doors in his bare teet. It was ten years ago when this exponent of the barefoot doctrine first tried his experiment. Born in Chelsea thirty years ago, Willard has traveled extensively. He has visited nearly every state in the union and has made three trips across the Atlantic in cattle boats. All told Willard has covered about 100,000 miles barefooted. He enjoys fine health and never ook a drop of medicine in his life. He never suffers from colds. DON'T GET LABOR RESULT Farmers of West Virginia have Hard Time Many Seasons Why do so many farmers in West Virginia fail to make money? Statistics for the state show that 70 per cent of them fail to receive adequate returns for their labor. One reason for 'this is that many of the farmers spend a great deal of their time in trying to grow wheat when it would mean more to them either to raise other crops or to keep livestock. Wheat is a profitable crop in various parts of the west, but there are only a few sections of West Virginia where an attempt should be made to raise it. Since there is not much level land in this state, practically all the wheat must be raised on hill land, and consequently it costs much more to produce wheat here than it does is the western states. Much machinery is not adapted to hill conditions, and it is necessary for the producer to be at a great labor expense. Then again since many of the hills are so steep that a large percentage of the soil fertility is lost by erosion, great quantities of commercial fertilizer must be applied to the soil. Cover crops are often used instead of commercial fertilizer, but this does not reduce the cost of production.—Ohio Farmer ELECTRIC GROOMED HORSES Vacuum Cleaner Far More Rapid Than Ordinary Combine Than Ordinary Curry Comb. Vacuum cleaners which have the usefulness of curry combs, with the additional advantages of suction to draw into a receptacle the dust, scale and dandruff removed from the animal's coat have been adopted for grooming the horses of New York City's Park department. The cleaner's driven by an electric motor and is so light as to be easily carried from place to place. For greater convenience however, they are mounted on hand trucks. It has been found that besides doing the work in a m cuoerbomtru omfwy the work in a much more thorough and sanitary manner than is possible with the ordinary curry comb, the cleaners are far more rapid. The men, using the vacuum cleaner, can care for several times the number of nurses they formerly carry in the old way. "111" cigarettes 10¢ Good!

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 Cleve- Tand, received 61,081 votes as a candidate for the nomination for Secretary of State in the fall of 1920, naturally inclines his people to look to him as their choice for Governor. Mr, Smith has received many let- ters in the last ten days from men and women of bis race {p Cincin- 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, Smiith was recognized through- out the country during the two Harding campaigns for Ohio's {n- dorsement—for the Republican nom- ination and for the Presidency—as the national Harding leader of his race. He also led those in the state with his paper, in the support they guye 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 Conven- tion, His ability as @ campaign speaker Is well-known in the state, particularly in Cleveland and north- ern 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 An- U-Lynching law, the latter the basis Editor Smith's Entry Cause of Worry. By James W. Faulkner, (Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) Columbus, ©., Apr. 5.—Congress man Knight's fight for the Repub Mean nomination for Governor is 1 Vehicle for attack on the party, ac cording to “organization men,’ while Editor Harry C. Smith's entry fs cause of more worry because im dependence (on the part of the col ored vote) {8 feared by them. Nor is. there any disguising of the concern caused by the announce ment of Editor Harry C. Smith, o Cleveland, relative to becoming ‘th candidate of the 125,000 Negro vot ers of the state, Smith specifically repudiates the innuendo of the sup- porters of the Secretary of State, 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 at- tention to the fact that the same charge was made against him two years ago, and that he was forced to appeal to the legal authorities (Onlo Supreme Court) in order tc obtain a place upon the Republican primary election ballot. At tha Hime he received "61,081 votes, 0! mote than 15,000 more than’ the total vote cast for Willis in 1918 as candidate for renomination for the Governorship. Raitor Smith says that “Ohlo Re- publicans seem to be determined to continue to ignore (until near elec tion day) the more than 125,00 Afro-American voters in this state.” ‘Apparently they seem to think, he says, ‘that the Nogro is entitled to no ‘éonsideration until after all the nominations are made from among white aspirants, and the demand for Diack votes becomes acite. » Two years ago, asserts Mr. Smith, he irled bis best, through standing a! a candidate for the secretaryship o! state, to make Ohlo Republicans see the importance of treating the Negro voters differently. It now is clear, he continues, that the race must be come active in its own behalf and stop waiting for the other fellow voluntarily to give to it that to which it Ys eititled, and out of which it has been kept without auy encouraging outlook. Aside from the expected attemp' 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 ts thought that he will be nominated, is this concern being manifested, but because of the com- plications it will cause, especially in Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Ak- Ton and Toledo. Im Cincinnati it fs taken for granted that the Republican organ- fiation will be able to deliver the Negro vote in more or sless bulk fashion to the primary election tlek- ‘ot Mt selects, but elsewhere in Ohio, ‘as in Greene County, Cleveland ana io Lorain, this will be & problem for white leaders —Cincinnat!

Smith,” Secretary of State, and one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for goy- ernor of Ohio, “say they expect to ascertain what set of managers are responsible for the promotion” of Editor Harry C. Smith's candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor, Mr, Smith safd to an En- quirer representative today that he and his people only are responsible for his candidacy as was proven to be the case two years ago in the State Supreme Court when he forced Secretary of State Smith, as State Supervisor of Elections, to place his name upon the primary ballots after he had ordered it to be lett off of them. By W. C. Howells (Special to Cleveland Plain Dealer) Columbus, O., Apr. 7.—Not a few Republican jeaders here are frankly alarmed over what appears to be the grave possibility that Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, editor of ‘The Gazette, may enter the race for the governor- ship nomination, In addition to this tangle, further complications ap- peared today when John H. Arnold, Columbus, former lieutenant gover- nor, told friends he would seek the Republican senatorial nomination. Against him, in all probability, will be Congressman Simeon D. Fess, Yellow Springs, ind possibly Atty. Wm. H. Boyd’ of Cleveland. ‘The possible Editor Smith gubernatorial candidacy was not taken seriously until receipt here of editorial utter- ances in the Cleveland man’s pub- Vieation (The Gazette) which virtu- ally promised, if assurances of sup- port continued to be received, he would enter. “The only question is, do our peo- ple of Ohio want such representa- tion (on the tieket) at this tlme,” the statement declares, |"It they do, let them continue to say so and the writer knows a man ‘game enough’ to make the try— Sone who carries no one's ring In his nose and one In whom the Afro- American people of Ohio have con- fidence, What do you think about Mt, reader? Ask your friends and acquaintances of color, _particu- arly.” ‘The editorial says that hope of success for the Cleveland man’s cause is far from beyond reason. Two years ago, Editor Smith, a candidate for the nomination of secretary of state, recetved (61,081 votes in a field of three. At ‘that time it was charged that Mr, Smith was put in the race by political enemies of Har- vey C. 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 bal- lot, but in this he was overruled by the state supreme court, The present situation is now further complicated Decause the secretary of state again finds himself confronted with the possibility of having to make an- other fight—this time for the guber- natorial nomination—with the same handicap. Carmi A. ‘Thompson, Cleveland, and the secretary of state Jare regarded as the two leading con- jtenders for the place at the head of thy ticket, thus there may be three Cleveland men in the fight: Col.

Moreover, the desertion of five ot the six Negro candidates tor the General Assembly by the Republic- an party in the 1920 election was a blow to their sense of justice that remains with them. For this reason the proposal of the Hon. Harry C. Smith to enter the race has ied to more of a situation than appears upon the surface. Friends of Secretary of State Harvey C. ‘Smith are more or less apprehen- sive as to what the presence on the ballot of another name like his would do to his chances. On 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. SEC, SMITH STILL WHINING If Whey Only Knew # Way to Get Kulitor Smith Out of the Race, How Happy They Would Be. Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. Columbus, ©., April 15.—Judge Harvey C, Smith, Secretary of State, struck out at the Hon, Har- ry C, Smith, Cleveland editor, who, he says (but is wrong) was n+ Jected into the Republican race against. him in 1920. His con- tinued references to Editor Smith have aroused considerable _inter- est thruout the state, although no other candidate has replied to him Mirectly. It was stated, however, that the supporters of Col. Carmi A. Thompson, of Cleveland, were disturbed as ‘much as was’ Secre- tary Smith over the prospective en- tance of Kaditor Smith into the primaries this year. They feel that he will be as much of a handicap to them as {0ySeeretary Smith, because he lives in’ Cleveland, home of Col. Thomp- son (and Senator Arthur H. Day, another Cleveland candidate for the Republican nomination for Gover- nor), where Thompson had ex- pectéd the lion's share of the votes. From his supporters comes the suggestion that if they knew of a way ( accomplish it, they gladly would join the forces of Secre- tary Smith to eliminate Editor Smith and confine the primary election contest to candidates of the Caucasian (composite) race. On the other hand this is not the wish of 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 thelr candidate, but he prefers to hear from oth- ers in southern and central Ohio before making up his mind.

Back of the candidacy of Editor Smith fs a question of recognition, Plans to mollify 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 veter- {narlans usually are entertained at the homes of the dairymen whose herds are inspected, and from the State Serum Farm at Reynolds- burg. ‘The place at state institu tions was finally formed.

Editor Columbus Ohio State Journal: Several weeks ago your news col- umns 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 for governor of Ohio. The suggestion Seemed so novel and surprising that the item was carried in a “box” on your first page under the capition ot “Look Who Is Here!” Permit me to ask why an Afro- Amerfean should not aspire to the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio or any other Republican state, The Republican party certain- ly 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 1 have been a close observer of poll- teal matters the Republicans have elected their candidate for president but three times—1872, 1904 and 1920—when they could haye won without the aid of the Afro-Amer!- can vote and the same limitation ap- piles 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 la- borer {s 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 gover- nor for Oblo and any other Repub- lean 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.

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. If our people do their 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 peo- ple, and if only one-third of the 125,000 voters in Ohfo would sac- rifice all for one—they cannot help but bring about the desired result, which is justly due the race I pray every colored man and woman yoter in Ohio will do thelr whole duty as never before. Hyery state in the Union {s looking to Ohio for a “Moses to lead them to victory” and bring about that ‘consideration which 1s properly due us as American citizens.

One dollar contributions will be sought, each donor to re- celve a celluloid button bearing the Mkeness of Judge Smith and the words: “For goyernor, Harvey C. Smith, my choice."

Smith showed his un- friendliness toward our race whea a Probate Judge at Zanesville, this state, long before moving to Co- lumbus. One thing sure, it is go- ing to be mighty difficult for any loyal, intelligent and honorable member of the race to vote for him for the Republican guberna- torial nomination, of any other when he or she is put in possession of the foregoing information. Tell it, “twother aad sister"; TELL IT! NOT AN “INDEPENDENT” CANDIDATE, In the President's home state of Ohio, we find that veteran Repub- liean “newspaperman and former member of the Obio Legislature, Ed- itor 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 in- vests this movement with some im- portance. Whether it is merely a bid on the veteran's part for a juley federal apointment 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 thix time, “threatening to make any independ- ent campaign for the Governor- ship; nor is our probable candi- dacy “a bid on the yeteran’s (our) part for a juley federal appoint- ment.” We have stated our post- tion so plainly, so often, and have kept it standing on the last page of this paper so long, that we fal to see how our good friend of the New York Age came to make his mistake.

Hon. Harry C. smith, Blackstone: Bldg., Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Harry:—You surely have Ohio finally stirred up oyer your candidacy for governor, and 1 be- lieve this is the best move ever inaugurated among our people for political power. You have made good and you are capable of hold- ing any position within the gift of the people and should stand out boldly in favor of acquiring office, and not be afraid to go to bat with any and all opponents within the primaries or other means of at- taining candidacy for the various political positions. Nothing that has happened with- in recent years has done more te enhance the respect other people have for our race than the dignified and determined effort to run for high office. Atty. Ashbie Hawkins for Senator in Maryland, Editor John Mitchell for Governor in Vir- ginia, 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 4s well as inculcate pride for their own,,for with races it is much the same’ as it is with individuals—no one fs apt to hold @ 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 prom- ises to deliver the goods that they have so long and patiently waited for, only to be fooled by one party then another, the same as the col- ored people have continually been fooled into believing that any one party, no matter how badly mis- managed, was thelr best friend. Yours sincerely, Francis H, Warren, IS IT OF ANY USE 'TO CON- ‘TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “al- ways will be discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal diserimina- tion, and are winning even so- clal rights today. ‘The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than sub- mit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by na- ture without self-respect and have no ‘guts.’" The world re- spects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the sbo- Utionists, worthy ef our own fathers who have died in every war to vindieate the title of their race to opal erty, and forever resist of rights in our native land, however long race diserimination may continue.
