H., visited Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Jones. With yourself, I regret exceedingly that Mr. Hall should have taken this attitude especially in view of the fact that the general statements are absolutely without foundation. The fact is that national farm loan associations have been formed in some states whose membership is entirely composed of colored farmers. There are also many instances, in localities where the colored farmers are not sufficiently numerous as owners to form, an association of their own race, that they have been admitted as members in associations of white farmers and have received their loans accordingly. It is possible, of course, that in some localities prejudice of white farmers to admit colored farmers might have prevented some farmers of the Negro races from reaping the benefits of the Federal farm loan system. But this is a condition over which this bureau has no control whatever. I can assure you, however, that the system as such draws no racial distinction, the main question being always the nature of the security for loans. I have been informed that Mr. Hall called at this bureau recently and was given the above information; was even shown applications for loans from colored farmers which had been made. Therefore, his statements seem all the more unjustifiable in view of this fact. In accordance with your request I am returning said enclosure. Very truly yours, Member, Farm Loan Board, Wm. S. A.

Olive Baptist church corner Scovill Ave, and E. 25th St. was well filled, last Sunday afternoon, for Ward 11 Central Body's second great mass, meeting, principally for residents of Ward 11 and 12. The song service, which usually precedes the formal opening of the meeting, was provided over by Rev. H. H. Mitchell, who was able assisted by a singing evangelist, whose name we did not learn but who was an exceptionally good singer, Rev. H. C. Bailey and Rev. J. E. A. Wilson, pastor of the church, made exceptionally the talks, which the large audience thoroughly appreciated. They were introduced by the editor of The Gazette, president of Ward 11 Central Body, who also speaks on the moral and living conditions of the two wards mentioned, urging those present to be more active in the effort to protect their homes and children and also elevate the moral status and living conditions of the Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave, district of the city. He told them HOW to do so, and guaranteed them the aid of Ward 11 Central Body, whenever needed. A number of pastors of the churches of both wards were present at the meeting, an outstanding feature of which was the beautiful contrato solo sung by Mrs. Hallick Jackson, a member of the Ward 11 organization. The third, great mass meeting of Ward 11 Central Body, which was scheduled to be held at Mt. Pisgah Baptist church, Sunday afternoon, has been postponed, because June 4 is communion Sunday, and the organization did not wish to have its meeting conflict with the church's services, the first Sunday in the month. MOB LAW IS SCORED. Nine Lynch Murders in Texas Arouses Law and Order Leaders. Austin, Tex — Gov Pat M. Neff in a statement issued here uncerely condemned mob law and lynching. Nine lynchings in Texas in May an unprecedented record have aroused law and order leaders. He suggests that present laws be changed so that members of mobs could be tried in counties other than that, in which the mob acted. UNRELENTING FOE! Fight in the Ranks of the Republican Party The Dyer Anti Lynching Bill Not a "Negro Measure" staffers and Mrs. Hester Little boy in the library ship of the committee in the pro- inent representatives of the var- cile and religious organizations The plan to be followed contemplates an organization in each commissi- tive to forward the principles for which The Gavin Co. Loving Arkansas White Women Demand Just for All—Scotte Their "Men's" "Lack of Respect for Negro Womenhood," etc. Naivile, Tenn. Leading white women in Arkansas and in Little Rock in April, organized a branch of the state committee on inter-racial cooperation, and gave to the public a vivid address demanding for the people of all races a square deal and the full protection of law. Stating that public sentiment concerning the Negro has too long been formed by prejudice, passion, indifference and ignorance, they declared their purpose to study the question with open mind and help create a public sentiment which shall "lessen the unhappy conditions about us, make impossible the present forms of lawlessness and disrespect for the courts, and remove contempt for and exploitation of human life." Among the most serious phases of the race problem (in the south) at present, said the committee, is "a lack of respect and protection for Negro womanhood." They therefore pledged themselves "to emphasize a single standard in morals for both men and women, to the end that the integrity of both races may be assured." Attaining that the test of character of an individual or a race is to be found in its attitude toward those who are weaker and whose opportunities have been less the committee appeals for a spirit of justice, helpfulness, cooperation for the Negro man, that shall be toward those of the white man's larger opportunity and longer period of development. Mr. W. Isidore UNION NTING FOE! the Southern Demo- c Party. The Republican Party. The Dyer Not a "Negro Measure" Threats' 111 The Dyer Bill In the fight to have the anti-lynch-mill bill passed, anyone persons are threatening the Republican party, it does not pass it. This is foolish! It is the Democratic party that is fighting the bill. If the Republican party does not pass it, no party will or can in the next four years. The Republican congress should pass the bill. It will be reams in its conduct it fails to do so. Every effort should be made to have it become a party measure and by so doing secure its enactment into law, or let wise men get on the job and by tact get the bill thrust by securing the respect and admiration of U.S. senators rather than by helpless threats. Then, too, the bill is not "a Nogro measure"—it is a national measure. Its passage may save the white south from further drifting into savagery. It may again call forth the springs of humanity and civilization, to flow within the white race, for, as things are now, the one race that its passage will materially aid, is the white race of the south. Southern U.S. senators that oppose the bill are a part of that degenerate south which believes in butchery to retain political ascendency. It is also true that our people will be spared that form of punishment, but who knows that the bill is a panacea, for southern barbarism? When the mob is destroyed will not the individual coward and murderer in that section shoot down any colored person he wants to, and then go scot free because the federal law will not reach him as it takes two or more to comprise a mob? The breaking up of the mob may be the scattering of it into individual camps to let each man be a mob in himself. The whole trouble with the south is, nobody is there to enforce law. White men, because the government in the south is for white men-and by white men, will not punish each other for crimes against our people. They will scarcely do so when the fight is between themselves. In most instances, white men there take the law into their own hands and kill each other and the dead man is the only one that suffers. (Rev. Wm. A. Byrd. the committee stands. Within the last few months similar organizations have been effected by white women of Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Texas. It is believed that this movement of the white women of the south promises much for the future peace and well-being of both races. KILLS SOUTHERN WHITE BRUTE. A Fourteen-Year-Old Girl of the Race Does Her Clear Duty, to Our Womanhood. Greenville, S. C.—Lucille Tinsley, age 14, is on trial here, charged with the murder of N. B. Howard (white), because she took the man's life as the price of her honor. Howard was shot in front of the defendant's home on March 22 dying twenty-hours later from the effects of the wound. Several witnesses swore that previous to the shooting Howard had approached and insulted the girl. On the day of the actual shooting, he forced his way into her home, making a criminal assault upon her. After she had driven him out of her home into the yard, he advanced upon her with threats, she says. Fearing his return, she ran into the house, secured a pistol and fired blindly. Examination of his body showed that he had been drinking heavily. This is a common occurrence throughout the south. The girl's testimony was strengthened by that of a woman (white) resulting in the intensity of the shot she received. She may it ever be.

The frankness of the statement is only equaled by its truthfulness and is like a flash of lightning on a dark night. --- We wish to call the attention of our readers particularly to the letter of U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis, published elsewhere in this paper, and thank him for it and the one accompanying it sent him by a member of the U. S. Farm Loan board. They will go far toward making clear the situation as regards loans to our farmers in the South. We are greatly pleased to be able to furnish the facts in the case. --- The editor of "The Hough Ave. News," in an editorial in his paper of May 19, '22, under the heading, "Culprit Caught," while possibly not intending to do so, encourages mob violence, which is a mistake always to be regretted. He was referring to the murder of Mrs. Helen Silberberg, who was brutally beaten to death, recently, in her home in that section of the city. Absolutely nothing justifies mob violence, Editor Hand. If the little African Republic, Liberia, succeeds in getting that loan of $,50,000,000 from this country, it will result in the American "yoke," which now burdens Hatti, Santo Domingo and Porto Rico, being placed about its neck, too. Much as we desire to see Liberia assisted financially, knowing full well its desperate need of money to pay its debts and for internal improvements, even more do we fear for its futile with the American "yoke" about its neck DAUGHERTY MAY GO TO IT. Attorney General Daugherty is having difficulty in finding a suitable man to take charge of the prosecution in the war fraud cases. He is reported to have approached sixty prominent attorneys on the subject, but they have all declined the appointment. Mr. Daugherty has indicated that he may be forced to take personal charge of the government's side of the cases, turning over the routine work of the department of justice to assistants. If he should determine on that course, the attorney general will have an opportunity to make a name for himself that comes to but few. If he succeeds in returning some millions of dollars to the treasury, and actually putting some of the war grafters behind the bars, he will have earned the gratitude of the whole country. The white-washing of those culprits by the former administration was notorious, and the people are just in the mood to see the law vigorously enforced. --- EX-PRESIDENT WILSON Secretary Mellon did not do the country any good by exempting the Woodrow Wilson Foundation from taxes. It is an imposition upon the good nature of Americans as well as a clever Democratic ruse to start the Foundation which appears to be primarily for the rehabilitating of the Democratic party. Mr. Wilson was discredited by this country, with a vengeance, because his policies were and are now infinable to the best interests of America. Mr. Wilson himself is incapable as a man to hold the friendship and affections of real men. Persons who will lose their identity and become his echo may get along with him. His falling health caused the American people to withhold criticism of him but even in his dilapidated condition his political spleen is as bitter as ever and his morbid desire to rule the morbund Democratic party as rampant as ever. Any attempt to bring Wilsonism again before the American people will meet the same fate it did before. Mr. Wilson was an accident president, and it was the most costly accident this country has ever experienced. He is unfit by nature, training and experience to exercise any commanding influence in this government. Never had this country a more vacillating and weather-vane president than he. Never did the country get tired of a man as it did of him. The promoters of his foundation scheme are deceived if they think this ruse on their part, to boost him and his ruinous reign as president, will again restore him to the confidence of the American people. The best thing this man, broken in health, broken in political aspirations and world ambition, can do is to seek the comfort he can get by being quiet, sweetening his embittered soul and getting as much commiseration from his country as their generous hearts will give him. As a political power his sun is set. As an unforgiving man his sun seems to be just rising, but the reverse should be the case. "BRAVO, LET'S GO"! What a Native Ohio-an Thinks About Our Probable Candidacy for the Republican Gubernatorial Nomination. Chicago, IL., May 25, '22. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir:—Received the marked copy of April 15th Gazette, with many thanks. Very interesting to me throughout, as I have not read an item of Cleveland news in more than a year. Most interesting of all was the agitation of the whites, caused by the possibility of a gubernatorial candidate of color (and especially H. H. C. Smith) for governor of the "Buckeye" state. I sincerely hope that the 61,081 votes made good for me there, by insure the nomination at least. "Then there will be SOME MORE agitation." I believe the heart of the masses are for you, and such a fight, if made, would inspire others in other localities to try for their rights. BRAVO! LET'S GO! would be my slogan, if I was there, for I will; "When the great recorder comes. To write against your name— He writes not what you won or lost. But—how you played the game." B. PLOWDEN. 4622 Federal St. THE LIBERIAN LOAN U. S. Senate Seems Due to Kill the Measure—Oppositein Strong. Washington, D. C.—The $5,000,000 loan to little Liberia, Africa, now before the Senate, looks as the its chances for passage are slim. Thirty-nine Republican representatives voted with the Democratic minority, May 26, against the "liberian loan" resolution, which passed the House, opposition only nine votes, against the fact that $1,650,000 is to be used to redeem bonds of loan made thru J. P. Morgan, Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and the National City Bank. These "international bankers" underwrote the bonds in 1912, purchasing them at 20 cents on the dollar. They will be redeemed at par if this bill becomes a law. Interest on the loan has not been paid and to insure that the money will not be stolen, the resolution provides appointment of a commissioner of the country. Inasmuch as Liberia never has made expenses in the 100 years of its existence, that commission would be permanent. OUR STUDENTS AGAIN WIN Prizes in Detroit Public Schools Contest—This Time in Athletics. DETROIT, Mich.—That our students can successfully compete with students of all other races in athletic as well as in mental achievements was again demonstrated, May 27, when ten gold watch prizes, given by the Detroit Free Press to the ten girl students sawing the highest percentages in athletic achievement in the girls Pentathlon, were awarded for the various contestants.

"I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. HIS CAR "I suppose you get a great deal of pleasure out of your cars? "No, I can't say that I do." "What's the trouble?" "The cars all right, but Monday is mother's day to drive it; on Tuesday, the girls want it; Wednesday, I promised to let the boy have it, and Friday and Saturday it has to go in for repairs. Sunday, if I am very good, they let me drive myself." BOLIVIA NOTED FOR TIN AND RUBBER COUNTRY'S EXPORTS EXCEED IMPORTS BY TEN MIL- LION DOLLARS Nation's Territorial Extension is 500, 000 Square Miles Bolivia is the most extensive inland country of South America. Its territorial extension is approximately 500,000 square miles. This area embraces the vast central tableland 12,000 feet above sea level which is the source of mineral wealth, and the tropical valleys and river regions which are the source of rubber production. Bolivia's chief source of productive wealth is in the mineral products, which includes tin, copper, silver, gold, stiltony, tungsten and bismuth. The tin deposits are the only ones in the western hemisphere which are available commercially on a large scale. The country produces about one fifth of the tin consumed by the entire world and is a close second to the Malay strait in the quantity and value of the output. This now approximates 25,000 metric tons of metallic tin. The mineral is found in lodes in combination with other ores, notably silver, and the lodes are worked as high as 17,000 feet. Copper is found in combination with silver and other ores, as well as in an almost pure state. The present production is 4,000 tons annually, but this is capable of great increase. From 10,000 to 12,000 tons of zinc are annually mined for export. Silver was or centuries a leading product of Bolivia. The Potist mines contributed vast sums to the Spanish brown but little silver has been mined in Bolivia in recent years. Improve transportation facilities and improved machinery and modern methods are relied upon to reopen many of the bolivia mines which were supposed to be worked out. The gold deposits of Bolivia are abaliv, although there are some quartz veins. The introduction of dredging machinery in the placer regions is attended with much difficulty and expense because of the lack of transportation facilities. It is believed, however, that these difficulties will be overcome and that Bolivia will regain her former position as a gold producing country. Rubber is the chief agricultural export. The population of Bolivia is estimated at between 2,000,000 and 2,500,000 inhabitants. The mass of the inhabitants are divided Indians who are engaged in agriculture or are employed in the mines or in freighting and other means of transportation. Those of mixed blood constitute about 100,000. They furnish the bulk of the laboring population in the mining districts and the cities. La Paz is the largest city. It has 80,000 inhabitants. It lies in the great central plateau, 12,000 feet above sea level. It is the seat of government and to some extent the financial capital of the country, but other cities divide the commerce with it, because of being the centers of somewhat isolated districts. Oruro, the center of the tin mining region, has 20,000 inhabitants. Potos, since the branch of the railway was extended to it, is regaining some of its importance as a commercial and mining center. Its populator is 20,000. Sucre, which still has legal status as the capital, has much accumulated wealth and is an attractive city for the tourist. It is the center of considerable trade. The population is about 25,000. Cochabamba is the center of a rica agricultural district and is a trading center as well. The railway line will soon reach it, and its commercial importance will be enhanced. The population is 30,000, Santa Cruz is the most important center of population in the great tropical agricultural region. it has 20,000 inhabitants. Bolivia derives her revenues chiefly from export and import axes although there are also internal taxes. The receipts from imports are about double from exports. The export tax is laid on rubber and tin and other minerals. The export of tin nets $1,000,000 to the government. The monetary system is stable. Nominally, the silver standard obtains, but the gold basis is the real measure of values. The current medium of exchange is the silver boliviano, which is maintained at 39 to 40 cents. Asking Too Much John was grieving because he had no gift for his mother's birthday. "Do not quarrel with little sister all day," suggested grandmother. "That would be the best gift she could have," John agreed. "Can't you see how much mother enjoyed your gift, John?" asked grandmother at night. "Why don't you do this every day?" John drew a breath that came from his very boots. "Td rather die, grandma, than live like this every day!" he said fervently. The oldest inhabited country is said to be the Province of Werchojansk, in Siberia. Daily mean temperature of the year is 2.74 degrees below zero. King Loses $500,000. The Court of Appeals at Tououse, France, reversed the decision of the Civil Court in St. Gaudens, rendered in July, 1913, under which King Alfonso of Spain won an award of 1500,000 bequeathed him by Al-Andalus, a former member of small town near Topon, who died in an asylum for the insane. The Appeals Court held that the will was invalid and decreed that the entire estate should go to a dister of M. Sapene, a member of an ardent royalist that M. Sapene bequeathed the money tk King Alfonso. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the consecrulent discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer. --- CHARACTER Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For thirty-eight years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an ex- pensive act the payment of taxes or rent. W. Atlee Burnee. 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. 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 "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours—George W.

"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 ob- durate 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. --- Kill That Cold With HILL'S CASCARA QUININE FOR Colds, Coughs AND La Grippe ALL DRUGGISTS SELL IT Beauty Aids for Complexions respected, admired and loved by every- have a beautiful complexion, free of les, and that your hair is smooth and Your best friend is your "looks"— them.

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 imposed on pictures in the title "kike," "dago," "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, nigger," wendel," dago," coon," mick," mick," darkey," 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. A WARD 11 MOTHER SPEAKS! 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 to the evening papers and in so-called 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 Councilman 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. Harper, during the recent campaign, because of their immoral made by him as to the immoral and bad living conditions in Ward 11. The statements made by Mr. Delicious!

(Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) Cleveland, Ohio, March 29—Ohio Afro-American Republicans are conducting meetings for the purpose of organizing to support one of their number for the Republican nomination for Governor, this fall. There are more than 125,000 Negro voters in the state, more than 10,000 of whom are in Cleveland. of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill recently passed in the U. S. House 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 in fall of 1920, 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 Cincinnati, Springfield, Dayton, Columbus, Xenia, Toledo, Akron, Youngstown, Sandusky, Zanesville and smaller places calling upon him to站 as candidate. When asked what his intentions were, he replied that he would announce his decision later. Mr. Smith was recognized throughout the country during the two Harding campaigns for Ohio's indorsement—for the Republican nomination and for the Presidency—as the national Harding leader of his race. He also led in the state his passport to the presidency, giving rise to candidacies of Frank B. Willis for the United States Senate and Attorney-General Harry M. Daugherty for delegate-at-large to the last Republican National Convention. His ability as a campaign speaker is well-known in the state, particularly in Cleveland and northern Ohio. Editor, Smith's feature-accomplishments, as a member of the Ohio Assembly, in the estimation of the number of law and Ohio's Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching law, the latter the basis Editor Smith's Entry Cause of Worry. By James W. Faulkner. (Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) Columbus, O., Apr. 5—Congressman Knight's fight for the Republican nomination for Governor is a vehicle for attack on the party, according to "organization men," while Editor Harry C. Smith's entry is cause of more worry because independence (on the part of the colored vote) is feared by them. Nor is there any disguising of the concern caused by the announcement of Editor Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, relative to becoming the candidate of the 125,000 Negro voters of the state. Smith specifically reponses the role of the officially supported the Secretary of State, Harvey C. Smith, of Zanesville, that he proposed coming into the race merely to aid and abet the defeat of that state official. Big Vote Polled By Negro. In doing so Mr. Smith invites attention to the fact that the same charge was made against him two years ago, and that he was forced to appeal to the legal authorities (Ohio Supreme Court) in order to obtain a place upon the Republican primary election ballot. At that time he received 61,081 votes, or more than 50% of the vote cast for Willis in 1918, as candidate for renomination for the Governorship. Editor Smith says that "Ohio Republicans seem to be determined to continue to ignore (until near election day) the more than 125,000 Afro-American voters in this state." Apparently they seem to think, he says, that the Negro is entitled to no consideration until after all the elections, white invariants, 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 be held until the other fellow stops waiting for the other fellow voluntarily to give to it that to which it is entitled, and out of which it has been kept without any encouraging outlook. Aside from the expected attempt to "whistle" the Cleveland race leader "down the wind," it is known that there is much serious agitation over the prospect of his entrance. Not that it is thought that he will be nominated, is this concern being manifested, but because of the complications it will cause, especially in Cleveland, 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. of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill recently passed in the U. S. House of Harry C. Smith. Representatives and now pending in the U. S. Senate—Cincinnati Enquirer. Cleveland, O. April 3.—Having reference to the statement from Columbus, published in The Enquirer, Thursday that "those of Judge Harvey C. Smith, Secretary State, and one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio, "say they expect to ascertain what set of managers are responsible for the promotion" of Editor Harry C. Smith's candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor, Mr. Smith said to an Enquirer representative today that he and his people only are responsible for his candidacy as was proven to be the case two years ago in the case when he when he Secretary of State State, as State Supervisor of Elections, to place his name upon the primary ballots after he had ordered it to be left off of them. By W. C. Howells (Special to Cleveland Plain Dealer) Columbus, O., Apr. 7.—Not a few Republican leaders here are frankly alarmed over what appears to be the grave possibility that Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, editor of The Gazette, may enter the race for the governorship nomination. In addition to this tangle, further complications appeared today when John H. Arnold, Columbus, former lieutenant governor, told friends he would seek the Republican senatorial nomination. Against him, in all probability, will be Congressman Simeon D. Fess, former lieutenant Atty. Wm. H. Boyd of Cleveland. The possible Editor Smith gubernatorial candidacy was not taken seriously until receipt here of editorial utterances in the Cleveland man's publication (The Gazette) which virtually promised, if assurances of support continued to be received, he would 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. Two years ago, Editor Smith, a candidate for the nomination of secretary of state, received *61,081* votes in a field of three. At that time it was charged that Mr. Smith was put in the race by political enemies of Harvey C. Smith, secretary of state, who were determined to defeat him by coercing the voters' names that were used in the nomination. The 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 Thompson, Cleveland, and the secretary 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 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., JUNE 3. 1922 Representative, and his candidacy likewise has ceased to be a joke among Republicans. 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 Haiti and Santo Domingo. Still less do they relish the manner in which the white Republicans have traded on the solid bloc vote that they have de livered year after year. Policy of 1920 Recalled. 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 the cause of 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 behalf of the other 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 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 through 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 to 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 had expected the him share of college homes 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. On the other hand this is not the only editor, the says 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 seconds his appeal for Afro-Americans candidate 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 not defeated this year. In the 400 election, when Washington landslide, Afro-Americans elected only one candidate out of six nominees. WHY NOT A GOVERNOR? Brazil Has a President of Color Dr. Lane Given "Segregated Work"—"Muzzle Not the Or" 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. There his supporters have issued侵权的 denials the message that he was brought into the race to defeat the Scratchy 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. Tober 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 certifications, 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 story of the incident has leaked, 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 for governor of Ohio. The suggestion seemed so novel and surprising that it was carried in a "box" on your first page and the caption on "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 between 1883 and 1920—when they would have won without the aid of the Afro-American vote and the same limitation applies to Ohio and many of the other Republican states which have been held in the Republican column year after year solely by this vote. The good book warns us that "Muzzle out 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 "spoils"? Why not an Afro-American governor for Ohio and any other Republic state? Brazil has a colored man as president 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. 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. If in our people do their business at an and are their 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 result, which is justly due the race. I pray every colored man and woman who will be 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. SEC. HARVEY SMITH'S "DOLLAR DRIVE." Voluntary Workers Form An Or ganization to Secure Campaign Contributions Throughout 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 celluloid button bearing the likeness of Judge Smith and 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 that position, do something he had steadfastly refused to do for about two years preceding that time, and that is appoint an Afro-American to a clerkship in his office. His presiding officer, John Brandt, 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 writer to demand that, 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, then, we have been reliably informed of State Harvey C. Smith showed his unfriendship toward our race when a Probate Judge at Zanesville, this state, long before moving to Columbus. One thing sure, it is going to be mighty difficult for any loyal, intelligent and honorable member of the race to him for the Republican gubernational nomination, or any other when he or she is in possession of the foregoing information. Tell it "brother and sister"; TELL IT! NOT AN "INDEPENDENT" CANDIDATE. In the President's home state of Ohio, we find that veteran Republican newspaperpaperman, and former 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 hat for 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 independent 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, ere 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. 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. My dear 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 loudly. Have you acquiring office, and 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 in 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. Ashbie Hawkins for Senator in Maryland, Editor John Mitchell for Governor in 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 well as incite them has done as well as incite years ago. Owned, for with races it is much the same as it is with individuals—no one is 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 promises 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 colored people have continually been fooled into believing that any one party, no matter how badly mismanaged, was their best friend. Your 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 submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, desperate are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however in race discrimination may continue. To submit is to de serve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder-The Work of a Member of The Race Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Section 6278.

It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years, to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for this purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 162 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the property of such children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children of such person, the widow shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit viciously a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(ia the statutes) under the heading ed. representative of victim of lynching.ury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the civil request of many reader, or The Gazette we print below the best Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights Council, which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities of the hotel, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars, or more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars to the person aggrieved thereof in 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, and this people will not use it as often they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Mised by the foolishly manufactured outfit, for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published a tutorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Cleveland, G.
