A: Southern "Cracker" Invites "Trimming" Which a Little Woman of the Race Gave. The mean, contemptible, prejudiced spirit of the south cropped out in a Scovill Ave. car going cast, one evening last week, and shows better than anything else, the real feeling of many of the poor whites of that section, and the north also at times these days. Two young men of the race were seafed in one of the cross seats of the car, near the conductor. One of them arose and gave his seat to a woman of the race who stood near. This was at E. 36th St. and Scovill Ave. At the next stop, the other young man arose and gave his seat to another woman of the race who was small of stature and apparently quite young. But a woman (white), evidently a southern "cracker" who stood near the second girl of the race, said: "Niggers have no business on these cars, anyway." and sat in the girl's lap, whereupon the latter said: "Get out of my lap and you may have the entire seat. I would not argue with you over a six-cent seat." To this the "cracker" replied: "You dirty little black b—" and as the girl arose, struck her in the back. The girl placed her packages on the car floor near the conductor and proceeded to give the "cracker" woman a thoro beating. Twining her hands in the "cracker's" hair and forcing her head against the back of the seat, she scratched and beat her face, bloodied her nose and "all but wore the woman out," until other passengers (white) pulled her away from the "cracker." This was only done after some effort, because the girl had wound her hand in the woman's hair until it was almost impossible to separate the two. She sat down beside the "cracker" and said: "The next time you decide to jump on a colored girl, don't rely on height, as you see. I am a little potato but hard to peel." Those of our people in the car stood aloof and looked on. Possibly it was well this was so, especially since the conductor failed to take any part in the fracas. Of Our Farmers in Three Southern States a Splendid Showing. More than 14,000 Afro-American farmers in North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia, who raised 90,000 acres of corn last year under the advice of county agents, employed co-operatively by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and State agricultural colleges, obtained average yields of 35 bushels an acre. The average for all farms in these states ranged from 17 to 25 bushels an acre. In Virginia, nearly 5,000 of our demonstrators-planted pure seed and about 3,000 selected seed for their 1922 crop. All these demonstration plats of corn were harvested except 87 acres, which were "hogged down." It is estimated that 70 per cent of our farmers there are following methods of growing corn taught by extension workers. CHARLES WADDELL. CHESNUTT The following is from the Cleveland Daily News-Leader of Monday: Mr. Chesnutt is the most profile of any writer resident in Cleveland, where he was born. To his literary credit are a number of novels, including "The House Behind the Cedars," "The Marrow of Tradition" and "The Conjure Woman"; a biography of Frederick Doughass, many short stories and articles which have appeared in the Atlantic. Century and other magazines of similar character. When he was a small boy Mr. Chesnutt went to North Carolina with his father, where he was educated, and later taught school, becoming principal of the State Normal school at Fayetteville; then he went to New York, where he did newspaper work, and returned to Cleveland, where he studied law and was admitted to the Ohio bar. He is a member of the Rowfant and City clubs, the Chamber of Commerce and Emmanuel Episcopal church. The questions, which follow, were asked Mr. Chesnutt by the newspaper representative; the answers are Mr. Chesnutt's: What are the barriers still to he overcome? Better quality of education will aid in meeting some of the inherited handicaps and be a force in encouraging application, thrift, a larger measure of self-respect and moral courage. It is partly the personal equation and partly lack of opportunity in early life. The man of superior ability finds his chance; he may not get so far along as the white man of equal ability but he will gain recognition. It is the common man who suffers most from race discrimination and the vast majority of colored people are of that class. Organization, wisely led, will do much and is already doing a great deal to strengthen their position. Do you think intermarriage of whites and Negroes should be prohibited by law? Marriage is so much a personal matter that society should not interfere on racial grounds. Is there much mixed marriage? Not on the average but in the aggregate. The social penalties to be paid are sufficient to discourage it; but there is no legal barrier against it in Ohio. What is the handicap keeping colored people down? Cholly the attitude of white people toward them. This we like to hope will be modified as time passes, by the development of a broader, more democratic spirit, greater respect for humanity as such, co-operating with the advancement which the Negro himself makes. Temperamentally, he is amiable, docile and devoted to those he serves in proportion as he is well or ill treated. Are the colored people responsible for jazz? They always have been fond of syncopeed music, all their original themes being written in two-four time but jazz and syncopeation are not necessarily synonymous. OUR AVIATRIX Visits Holland and Will Establish a School in Chicago, This Summer. Rotterdam, Holland.—Miss Bessie Coleman, who has won fame as an aviatrix, was a recent visitor here. Since leaving Chicago, her home, last spring, she has taken additional training in flying in France and arranged for the purchase of a machine which she plans to use in this school she is to establish in Chicago on her return to America, this summer. En route to England, Miss Coleman suffered a severe sprain, which doctors felt would prevent her flying for some time, but she recovered quickly and was acclaimed plucky by admiring Frenchmen. She reports America as away behind in flying, and says that while here everyone is taking flights and air transportation is rapidly becoming a business, in America it is largely confined to exhibition events or military practice. Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The "Dunbar Special," regarded by many as the best five-cent cigar, manufactured by the Edward Gordon Mfg. Co. of Richmond, Ind., a race enterprise that should be patronized. It contains quality tobacco, a good percentage of Havana filling with an imported Sumatra wrapper (expert blending), and is of course made by experts. The Edward Gordon Mfg. Co. is to be complimented and congratulated on the production of a mellow, mild "smoke" that suits the laste. Write them. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS To Enforce Three Amendments To The United States Constitution The Klu Klux Klan of Many Years Ago-The Volstead Act-Human Rights Come First-Weak Republican Congresses and Leaders. (Jersey City, N. J.) The celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of Grant's birth calls to our minds the heroic status and personality of one of America's most famous generals, Ulysses S. Grant crushed the southern rebellion and having done so stood over the ruined heap of southern states and said "let us have peace." He was chosen the next President of the United States and as such endeavored to have peace but not at the cost of justice to the newly enamored black men and women. The villainous Kai Klux Klan of those days had been disbanded by the heavy hands of the federal government. The trenchise had been placed into the hands of the newly made citizens and American soldiers stood guard at the polls to see that these new citizens voted and their votes counted as he desired. Oh! for a Grant in this day. Democracy has failed in the south and the reason is, white men of America, since Grant, have not been fair enough to see that the laws of this country are respected. White men have seen the colored race denied in the south every right due it and because lawless white men did it, nothing has been done about it. America, today, is a cripple nation, unable to enforce the law. The "blue and cry" about the enforcement of the Vodstead act and prohibition are all insincere. There is no just reason for the enforcement of the prohibition amendment while the nation cowardly allows the fifteenth and sixteenth amendments to the U. S. constitution to be violated with impunity. Prohibition will never be enforced because America has learned that white men, who have the law in their hands to enforce, are not on the square. Millions can be voted and an army of men employed to make a show at enforcing the eighteenth amendment while the bootlegger knows that America is a monumental hypocrite in its law enforcement. Since President Grant no man of his caliber has been in the chair to enforce the law. Congress, that has the power to enforce the enfranchisement of Negroes, has deliberately refused to do so because by so doing it will compel white men of the south to obey the law which will inure to the good of Negroes, Republican and Democratic congresses have come and gone and the war amendments of the sixties have remained a dead letter. We all desire peace but like Grant human rights come first and then peace. Today no life is safe in New York or South Carolina. The enforcement of PAGE TOM FLEMING AGAIN! Jackson, Chicago's Real Afro-Ameri can Councilman, Gives Ku Klux a "Solar Plexus." As a counselman what a parody Cleveland's "Negro" councilman, Tom Fleming, is when compared with Chicago Afro-Americans council-representative, Alderman Bob Jackson! Read and weep: Chicago, Ill. - "Fighting Bob" has gone to the bat again with the introduction into the city council of an ordinance designed to knock the wind out of public demonstrations of the Ku Klux Klan and similarly attested organizations in the city of Chicago. The goal of the measured drawn up by Alderman Robert R. Jackson would have been ignored by the city council that. Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any person within the city to appear in public in any mask, cap, coat, hood or other things concealing the identity of the wearer, provided that the provision, or the definition shall not apply to persons attending or taking part in such mask balls, public shows, entertainments of celebrations of the city or under permission of the proper charities of said city nor to any person holding a written notice issued by the mayor. Cincinnati, Oss Communication by radio telephones between moving transits is the goal of Fletcher H. Hille's Afro-American steward on a Big Four club car operating between Cincinnati and Cleveland Hille recently installed a receiving set on his car and found it would operate successfully with the train running at full speed. He holds a government license as an air their radio operator. IN UNION IT IS STRENGTH. THE COPY FIVE CENTS WANT NEEDED! Amendments To The States Constitution Many Years Ago—The Volstead Come First—Weak Re- gresses and Leaders. law is in the hands of white men and the jury systems are in their hands, but at no stage in the history of a civilized nation has there been such a disregard for law as now. Anglo- Dr. William A. Byrd. Saxons have unanimously failed in maintaining order on this western continent because Anglo-Saxons haven't fairness enough to make themselves obey the law. God is going to remove the Anglo-Saxon from power in this country. Come, it will, and come it must, if civilization here is to continue. Let America stay out of Europe because at home America is bankrupt in law enforcement. We are ready for a schism that will rend us into fragments. Selfishness, greed, prejudice, race-hatred and mob violence have become our undoing. The courts, judges, juries, lawyers, and the whole regime for law enforcement, have lost the respect of Americans. Strikes, walkouts and lockouts prevail here because man has lost faith in the justice of man. We need a Grant to put American soldiers under arms to teach wretches how to respect law. We need a Grant to teach politicians of the present day that getting elected over the prostrated form of the franchise of American citizens is unworthy of this nation. Americans' let us have a reign of law in every state in the union at any cost. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. ZIEGFELD STOPPED IT: And is Soon to Startle Broadway and the Country, Again. New York City. Florenz 'Ziegfeld, of "Follies" fame, the man who gave Bert Williams the chance to show the world that the race had really produced the best comedian in the country, is planning something that will really startle Broadway. He recently contracted for the appearance of at least twelve of our girls with his "Midnight Frohle" and they are rehearsing for the opening within a month. Some of our most beautiful girls are with the company, and under the direction of Will Volkery, the best musical trainee on Broadway, and Not Wayburn the girls are going through their pieces preparatory to being the indirect cause of a sensation when it becomes generally known. Mr Ziegfeld is prepared to take the time from stand for the girl that he did for Bert Williams when a group of the white performers in the company threatened to quit when they learned that Williams would not only a member of the Follies, but a bright, particular star. Mr Ziegfeld called them all together and announced that if any of their felt they could not work with Mr Williams they had better step forward and present their resignations as it was his intention to continue his work for making more regulars of the personal position of the employees. Not a secret moved forward. To the contrary they all tried to literally fall over themselves telling Mr. Ziegfeld what a pleasure it was to work with Bert Williams. Mr Ziegfeld never had any trouble after that. The French Approach PARIS France In commemoration of the colored troops of every country who fell in the World War and of those heroes and sacrifices to make the world safe for democracy, the French republic is arranging to erect a large monument of Honour in the center of French Africa.

JUNE 10,1922 If the "1600" Afro-American farmers of Ohio are suffering any mlstreatment at the hands of the U. S. Farm Loan Board, as is claimed by a friend in Washington, D. C. they are keeping "mighty" quiet about it. We have yet to hear the first complaint from them. --- The New York Journal of Commerce says there is a wave of protest against the tariff now sweeping over the country. Hardly. But there is a wave of protest against the Democratic program of talking the tariff to death. The time has come when the Republican majority in the Senate is justified in using stern measures to hasten the tariff bill to a conclusion. Fire a direct question at a Democratic candidate for Congress and see him dodge. Ask him whether he is for or against a protective tariff, and he will use up a half hour trying to create the impression that he has some views on the subject but you can't get him to come out point blank and declare that he is either for or against protection as a matter of national policy. --- Prof. R. S. Wilkinson, president of our State Normal and Industrial College at Orangeburg, S. C., an Oberlin graduate and an alumnus of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, writes the editor that he will be in the city a few days after the Oberlin commencement. Come on, "Wilk", your host of friends here as well as in Oberlin will be delighted to see you, again. Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter, of the N. E. R. L., is complaining of Secretary Jas. W. Johnson of the N. A. A. C. P.'s "personal" attack upon him in connection with statements relative to the Dyer Anti-Lynch bill, now pending in the U. S. senate, and proceeds to read the latter a lengthy but polite lecture (which apparently is merited) in his paper, the Boston Guardian of June 3, '22. Do not "fall out" gentlemen "for the good and welfare" of the race. Then, too, the unconstitutional Dyer bill is not worth it. There is no good reason why every one in Wards 11 and 12 should not sign, and willingly, too, the petitions of Second Mt. Olive Baptist church of this city. Our suggestion is that all future petitions of the kind be addressed to the executive head of the city, Mayor Fred. Kohler. They are sadly needed, these days, as every one knows. The police have done good work, last and this week, but there is still so very much to be done. --- Chas. W. Chesnutt's complimentary reference to his friend, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, as "easily the most out-standing figure of the race," when side-stepping the question, "Whom do you consider the leader of the colored people?" was fine. DuBois lost the confidence of the great majority of our leading men in that Washington, D. C. conference, called by Dr. Emmett J. Scott for President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, during the world war and can never become the leader of our people until that confidence has been restored—something it will take many, many years to accomplish, if ever, the way DuBois carries himself. LOOSE LEGISLATION The judicial branch is in close sympathy with the legislative and executive in the movement toward a return to constitutional government. The loose legislation of the Democratic regime is being reviewed and laws that invade personal liberties and states' rights are being rejected. The child labor act of 1919 is the latest to come under the judicial eye, and has been declared null and void. Under the guise of a revenue measure it really transgressed the police powers of the states in seeking to restrict employment. The motives behind the legislation were of the best, but that was no reason why the Constitution should be violated in its enactment. The states are amply able to handle such matters themselves. --- WOUNDS FROM A FRIEND Senator King, Democrat of Utah while filibustering on the tariff bill recently, advised his colleagues to read the New York Journal of Commerce. That paper is a dyed-in-the-wool free trader. The day after Senator King paid this compliment to the Journal, the paper said editorially: "The community at large would much prefer to have the Democratic party make some showing of constructive ability and not devote itself exclusively to fighting or antagonizing proposals that come up through the efforts of their opponents. Of such constructive work there is now little indication. The bulk of what is being done and said is critical and destructive purely. Why should not the Democratic party prepare and offer substitute tariff schedules? It is not enough to complain of the mismanagement of the dominant party. Have Democrats enough initiative and energy to get results in this way? Apparently the Journal of Commerce is of Senator James E. Watson's way of thinking. The Senator from Indiana recently sought in vain to ascertain the Democratic stand on the tariff question in his quizzing of Senator Jones, Democrat, of New Mexico. Not once could he secure a definite answer and the termination of the interrogatories left it plain in the minds of everyone who heard them that the Democrats were once more living up to their reputation as obstructionists. The policy of trying to ham-string legislation and offering no substitutes has had a demoralizing effect on the Democratic party. It goes far toward explaining its incompetence from 1913 to 1920 when the Democratic legislature earned the sobriquet of "a rubber-stamp Congress." They were incapable of initiating and became the creatures of a dictator whose word was law so far as they were concerned. --- M. FLEET WALKER Many of the old residents will remember M. Fleet Walker, the wonderful catcher of years ago. Then, he was possibly our best baseball player, in this country. As lessee and manager of the Cadiz Opera house where he also conducted a "movie" for many years, Mr. Walker established the same reputation as a leader in the business that he sustained when a young man playing ball. May 1, he disposed of his lease of the Cadiz Opera house, and has come to Cleveland and taken over the Temple Theatre from the Bolasan Brothers, who have conducted it so well for several years, proposing to afford the people of that vicinity better amusement in the shape of moving pictures, vaudeville and other attractions than they have ever had. He is not only capable but determined to do so, and since the editor of The Gazette has the fullest confidence in his long-time friend, he has no hesitancy in assuring the local public that Mr. Walker will do. In the future, make the Temple Theatre your home theatre for yourself, your family and your friends and help an enterprising member of the race to lead the way for Cleveland and this vicinity in the "movie" business. SOUTHERN "BULLDOZING"! The nation has had an exhibition of southern bulldozing in the U. S. Senate during the last two weeks. The south is run by men like Senators Watson of Georgia, Robinson and Caraway. The many years of "running over" our people, using any kind of method and language they chose, have made them unit for the association of upright men. The "smoke screen" being raised over the expenditure of money by Pinchot and Newberry will not blind any one to the real conditions of the south. Between spending large sums of money and destroying the franchise of American citizens, we choose the former and it is to be believed that the country does, also, Lynching and destruction of human life are a part of the Democratic policies of the south. The senators in Congress from that section profit politically by the reign of lynching and mob law. To do away with these is to interfere with one of their most dependable adjuncts for riding into office. These senators care nothing for the hu- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. JUNE 10, 1922 manity of the south and the welfare of no race. If only they can get easy money by holding office. Sooner or later this nation must reckon with southern lawlessness and the quicker the better. The clearest evidence of white deterioration is seen in the men that go to Washington from that section of the country. They are utterly unfit to be in the nation's law-making body. They maintain a status of barbarism in the south for their political agrandizement. They have and are making the southland an eyesore to the world. The prestige of America suffers more from the lawlessness of the south than from anything else. Senators, Democratic and Republican, should see to it that this country is no longer disgraced by such southern representatives. When the Democratic party repudiates the barbarism of the south and lets men of humane instincts run the party, it will then be in a position to contend for the votes of all right-thinking people. Teach the south a much-needed lesson. Ku Klux Policeman Fired San Francisco, Cal.-Seven members of the police force were dismissed from the force, recently, by Mayor Truman G. Hart because of their being members of a Ku Klux Klan. A West Indian Winner London, England.—H. A. Beckles, late student of Harrison College, Barbadades, West Indies, has been awarded a fellowship at the University of Durham. Mr. Beckles is a brilliant classical scholar and is reading law at Middle Temple, one of the Inns of Court. K. P. Have $211,005 Houston, Tex.—Our K. P. of this state have in five years paid off a $75,000 deficient and placed $211,000 in the bank; increased their membership from six to twenty thousand and afforded Paul Quinn college at Waco, $200 to build a new girls' dormitory, to build Grand Chancellor W. S. Willis. The "Black Star Line" New York City.—The "B black Star" (Line) began to flicker perilously and threaten to become altogether extinguished in the 7th District Court, recently, when Justice Panken elicited the reluctant testimony from Marcus Garvey that over $600,000 had been dropped into the sea in this visionary maritime enterprise. Holley "Flagged" New York City. - Emile T. Holley, the 17-year-old youth, selected by Congressman Martin C. Ansorge, among his constituents in Harlem, last March, as a candidate for the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, has failed to pass the mental examination for admission, which he took in April at the Custom House here. The official results were issued at Annapolis. Holley was undoubtedly "flagged." Prejudiced! Made To Resign Saxton's River, Vt.—Prof. Roland C. Batchelder, has resigned at the request of the Academy officials as a result of his refusal to eat at the same table with a colored boy who recently arrived at the school from Haifi. The request that Batchelder resign, was also the outcome of alleged insolence to the faculty. Batchelder is a graduate of Dartmouth College, 1921. Three White Men to Chain Ganga, Americus, Ga.—Benny Devane, Henry Harvey and Henry Lewis Fulford, white residents of Schley county, were sentenced, May 24, '22, to serve from one to four years on the chain gang for their part in the lynching of Will Jones, an Afro-American, near Ellawille several weeks ago. The man was convicted on a joint trial on the charge of shooting at another man. The jury recommended a light sentence, but it was disregarded by the judge. "The Wages of Sin!" Montgomery, Ala.—Ghastly and bloody, the bodies of a white man and a "Negro" woman were discovered at the bottom of a ditch that runs parallel to the tracks of the Central of Georgia railroad where it separates the old from the new Oakwood cemetery. The man was W. A. Davis, a mechanic in the L. & N. shops. The woman, Rosetta Thomas, cook for one of the most fashionable white families of this city. They were killed, the police say, by Rosetta's white lover who had warned her to stay away from other men.

Washington; a race that in the darkness of the night gave a body of song that stirs the world; a race that, in the first fifty years after its emancipation, removed, in the midst of handicaps, 75 per cent of its illiteracy; a race that, in the years before, has saved a billion dollars in the first half-century of its emancipation."

Atlanta, Ga.—A of a scheduled ten-round bout between the two heavyweights here. Monday evening. Johnson Film is Barred Columbus, O.—State movie censors have barred from Ohio the film "As the Years Roll On," featuring Jack Johnson, who is making good money, appearing with a vaudeville company. The "poor fish" will never, it seems, forgive Jack for "mixing" up with their women and "knocking off" their idol. Jim Efner, who did not isn't. One day the have him "broke" the next day, "broke," and never stop calling attention to the fact that he has "served a term in a federal prison." Poor, prejudiced things! Palmer Reinstated. Columbus, O. — Billy Palmer r (white). Washington Court House promoter and manager of Tut Jackson, heavyweight, has been reinstated by unanimous vote of the Columbus boxing commission, it was officially announced, June 1. Palmer had been suspended following a bout at Washington C. H. between Jack Geyer and Columbus. ThatJack Geyer charging that he had failed to receive his share of the purse. Geyer later announced he had received the money. At the time, the newspapers of the country carried a story, sent out from Columbus, to the effect that Geyer had "laid down" in the context of a promotion on a prowess. This, of course, is an intruth be made evident for the purpose of killing off both Palmer and Jackson. Dirty! Facing a Crisis! In the case of Alger C. Roberson, Garfield McGregor, (white), atty, against The Tate Stars Baseball Co. Geo. J. Tate, pres., and A. H. Flebach, (white), atty, "for money, receiver and relief", the county clerk's office informed The Gazette and A. H. Martin was appointed receiver and discharged, both on Monday of last week. Evidently, this was the result of some agreement on the part of the plaintiff and defendants. Several of the other more or less numerous creditors of the company are now arranging to force the appointment of a receiver, or change the management of The Tate Baseball Co. against such man, varied complaints are being made by stock-holders and creditors of the company and others. Gets Jack's $5,000 Car. Indianapolis, Ind.—John Arthur Johnson lost the first round in his battle with Will Bottoms of Chicago here, recently. The latter sued Jack to collect $4,500 loaned him prior to his release from the Leavenworth, Kan. federal prison. When the case was called, Mrs. Jack Johnson, who had hurried here from New York in order to claim that the attachment was void, due to the fact that the car her personal property, ripped to a snake, be the judge fanded down his decision on the case. While admitting the varacity of Mrs. Johnson's statement, the judge ruled that the $5,000 car would be turned over to the former champ's pretty white wife, providing she could give bond to the extent of the value of the car. The Johnson's failed to raise the cash or a bondman, with the result that the car was turned over to Mr. Bottoms, who had paid off friends, entirely covered the $5,000 necessary, but gave bond for $50,000 to insure safe delivery upon the order of the presiding judge. The case is pending in Chicago. Johnson-Jackson Battle. Columbus, O.—Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion, has deposited $2,000 in a local bank to bind his contract for a 12-round decision bout with Tut Jackson, Washington C. H. heavyweight, to be held there at the ballpark on the afternoon of July 4. Jackson had deposited the same amount. The bout is scheduled to go twelve rounds to a decision. Johnson will establish training quarters at Stop 22, on the Ohio Electric railroad, between Springfield and Columbus. Final touches have been put on the preliminary arrangement. Johnson and Jackson, their managers, are in session here Monday with the boxing commission and plans were arranged satisfactorily. Plans for a bowl shaped amphitheater, to be fitted with from 18,000 to 20,000 chairs, were completed and work thereon will be commenced at once. At least that many spectators are expected from all parts of Ohio and nearby states. Pictures of Johnson and Jackson shaking hands in the ring were taken. The New Washington Athletic club organized, Monday, is as follows: R. R. Kibler, M. Murray, Robert Kibler, Herbert Kibler. The new boxing commission is J. M. Baker, G. C. Kidner and Pete Tracy.

Off To Mexico Oklahoma City, Okla.—Fourteen of the state's wealthiest Afro-Americans left, recently, over the north bound Santa Fe for the city of Mexico, where a conference is being held with President Obregon of that republic, looking toward the development of Lower California by Afro-American colonists and the consumption of a general agreement to permit them to homestead land in various sections of the republic. The delegation is headed by J. B Key of Orkmugge, millionaire of King and Atty. Hugh E. Beth of Los Angeles Cal.

He will acquire them from his food, water, bedding, motions, in pursuit of the flea, and he is not infrequently born with them, o even when that is not the case they are almost sure to be present by the time he has arrived at the mature age of one week. Hence it will at once be apparent what necessity there is for the greatest attention to sanitary detail throughout all operations connected with the kennels, as there is no greater cause of mortality among puppies from the age of one to four months. The worms often penetrate the lining of the stomach, which is tantamount to certain death, and it is difficult to treat them while they are still in the nest. Looking at the primary causes which produce worms it will be found that there is an intimate connection, or perhaps it would be more correct to say an intimate relationship, between the tapeworm which affects the internal organs of the dog and the irritant flea that plagues him externally. It has been asserted by eminent scientists that the ova from tapeworms expelled from a dog are devoured by fleas and develop in o what are known as crypt cysts. The dog bites himself when irritated and swallows the flea that is causing him trouble. Then the cryptocyst is set free in the dog's stomach and proceeds to develop into a tapeworm once more. This explanation has been generally accepted and it solves a difficulty that many persons have been unable to solve for themselves. They cannot understand why their dog, which has never been allowed to associate with other dogs and has never been fed on anything like oifel which would be likely to generate intestinal parasites, should nevertheless suffer from tapeworm. The explanation rests with the flea, which leaves a dog once it has obtained a cryptocyst, and takes up its alonge on another dog by which it is swallowed with the result of a scribbed above. One moral to be ded from these facts is the moral of cleanliness. Never allow a flea to trouble your dog if you can possibly avoid it. This is perhaps rather a large order, but really there is no reason why dogs should be troubled with fleas if only they are kept perfectly clean. It has often been inquired whether food has a ything to do with the production of worms and probably it has. As a matter of fact worms themselves only thrive under unhealthy conditions and regular and systematic dosing, with medicines so as to keep the dog in a thorough state of health will go a long way as a preventive. Whether it is possible to trace the origin of worms to food it is impossible to state, but there is a good deal to be said about stale dog biscuits, which have been lying perhaps for months in a shop and which in consequence have been attacked by insects, such as small beetles and other creatures which attack flour and all cereal preparations. If possible it is a good plan to buy all food of this kind direct from one of the firms who advertises them and not to buy too many at once. Then there can be no question as to their freshness and freedom from the risk indicated. It is a great mistake not to take a dog in hand at once when he is suspected of having worms and give him a thorough dosing straightway. So long as any trace of these pests remain the dog will be more or less unhealthy and out of sorts. In the case of puppies it is positively dangerous to let the matter go on. BLUING FIXED THE SCENERY Water in Lagoon was Changed from Yellowish Hue to Green Three barrels of bluing solved a difficult artistic problem in connection with the staging of the recent historical pageant at Newark, N. J. After about four hundred and fifty thousand gallons of water had been run into the lagoon in front of the natural stage it was found that the clay and sand had caused the water to turn yellow. Thomas Wood Stevens, the director, observed that the water must have a green color or the artistic effect of the stage settings would be spoiled. The lagoon, 300 feet long, 165 feet wide and 2 feet deep, is one of the main features of the open air stage it was Stevens idea that the lacon should produce a certain effect in connection with its natural surroundings. He had taken it for granted the water would be green. When Director Stevens and his assistant, Sam Hume, were going over final details of the amphitheater they were confronted with the yellow water in the lagoon. They were in a quandary as to how to overcome this difficulty, when "H. Wellington Wack, executive adviser of the Norwalk celebration committee, came along. The pageant masters explained their dilemma to Mr. Wack, who suggested the bluing. It worked.

Smith, for nearly 40 years editor and publisher of The Cleveland Gazette, the organ of the Afro-American yoters of the state, and for six years a member of the Ohio Assembly from Cleve- Innd, recelved 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 thelr choice for Governor. Mr, Smith hay received many’ Iet- ters in the last ten days from men and women of his race ip Cineln- natl, 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.

By. James W. Faulkner. (Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) Columbus, 0., Apr. 5.—Congress man Knight's fight for the Repub Nican nomination for Governor Is 3 Vehicle for attack on the party, ac cording to “organization men," while Editor Harry C, Smith's entry is cause of more worry because in dependence (on the part of the col ored vote) is feared by them. Nor is there any disguising of the concern caused by the announce: ment of Hditor Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, relative to becoming ‘the candidate of the 125,000 Negro vet 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 {nvites at- tention to the fact that the same eharge was made against him two yours 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 focelved 61,081 votes, or more than 15,000 more than’ the tojal yote cast for Willis in 1918, ag candidate for renomination for the Governorship. Editor Smith says that “Ohio Re- publicans seem to be determined to continue to {gnore (until near elec- tion 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 nominations are made from among white aspirants, and the demand for Diack votes becomes acute. Two years ago, asserts Mr. Smith, he tried his best, through’ standing as 4 candidate for the secretaryship of state, to make Ohio Republicans see the tmportance of treating the Negro Voters differently, It now {s clear, he continues, that the race must be- come active In Its own behalf and sop waiting for the other fellow voluntarily to give to it that to which {tds entitled, and out of which ft has been kept without any encouraging outlook. ‘Aside from the ‘expected attempt to. “whistle” the Cleveland race jeader “down the wind,” it Js known that there is much serious agitation over the prospect of his entrance. Not that it is thought that he will be nominated, {s this concern being manifested, but because of the com- plications {t will cause, especially in Cleveland, Columbus, “Dayton, Ak- ron and Toledo. In Cincinnati: it is taken for granted that the Republican organ- faution will be able to deliver the Negro vote in more or less bulk fashion to the primary election tick- et ft selects, but elsewhere in Ohio, ‘as in Greene County, Cleveland ana fu Lorain, this will be a problem for white leaders —Cincinnat!

Smith.” Secretary of State, and one of the candidates for the Repablican nomination for gov- ernor of Ohio, “say they expect to ascertain what set of managers are responsible for the promotion” of Editor Harry C. Smith's candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor, Mr, Smith 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 hud 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 governor- ship nomination, In addition to this tangle, further complications ap- peared today when John H. Arnold, Columbus, former lieutenant gover: nor, told friends he would seek the Republican senatorial nomination, ‘Against him, in all probability, will be Congressman Simeon D. ‘Fess, Yellow Springs, and_ possibly Atty. Wm. H. Boyd’ of Cleveland. ‘The possible Editor Smith gubernatorial candidacy was not taken seriously until receipt here of editorial utter- ances in the Cleveland man’s. pub- lication (The Gazette) which virtu- ally promised, if assurances of sup- port continued to be recelved, he would enter. “The only question is, do our peo- ple of Ohio want such representa- tion (on the ticket) at this time,” the statement declares. “It 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 con- fidence. What do you think about it, reader? Ask your friends and acquaintances of color, _particu- larly." ‘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 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 nate removed from the bal- lot, but in this he was overruled by the state supreme court. The present situation is now further complicated because the secretary of state again finds himself confronted with the possibility of having to make an- other fight—this time for the guber- natorial nomination—with the same handicap. Carm! A. ‘Thompson, Cleveland, and the secretary of state are regarded as the two leading con- tenders for the place at the bead of the ticket, thus there may be three Cleveland men in the fight: Col, Thompson, Senator Arthur H.

Moreover, the desertion of five of the six Negro candidates ror 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 led 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 lke his would do to his ehances. 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.

Smith, Secretary. of State, struck out atthe Hon, Har- ry C. Smith, Cleveland editor, who, he says (but is wrong) was in- Jected into the Republican race against him in 1920. His ¢on- tinued references to Editor Smith have aroused considerable _inter- est thruout 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” Secre- tary Smith over the prospective en- trance of Bditor 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. Thomp- son (and Senator Arthur H. Day, another Cleveland candidate for the Republican nomination for Gover- nor), where Thompson had ex- pected the lion's share of the votes. From his supporters comes the Suggestion that if they knew of way. to accomplish It, they” gladly Would. join the forces of Secre- tary Smith to eliminate Eattor Smith and confine the primary election contest to candidates of the Caucasian (composite) race. On the other hand this. ts 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.

Brazil Has a President of Color— Dr. Lane Given “Segregated Work"—"Muzzle Not the = Special to Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer. Columbus, ., April 10.—It developed today ‘that an incident in connection with the appointment of Dr, J. Aubrey Lane, of Cincin- nati, to be a state veterinarian, in charge of state institution herds, had tended to inflame the race is- sue in connection with the Repub- lican primaries, The {ssue was called up when Ohio Afro-Amerl- cans demanded that former Repre- sentative Harry Clay Smith, of Cleveland, become a candidate for the Republican nomination for the Governorship. There his support- ers have issued numerous denials of the charge that he was brought Into the race to defeat the Sccre. tary of State, Harvey C. Smith. Back of the candidacy of Editor Smith is a question of recognition, Plans to mollity 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. Tt 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- Inarians 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 instita- tions was finally formed. As the story of the incident has leaked out, Ohio Afro-American Repud- leans have not been pleased by the treatment accorded to Dr. Lane, Muzzle Not the Ox. Editor Columbus Obio State Journal: Several weeks ago your news col- amns carried . 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 tor 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 of “Look Who Is Here!” Permit me to ask why an Afro- American should not aspire to the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio or any other Republican state. The Republican party 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- tical matters the Republicans have elected their candidate for president but three times—1872, 1904 and 1920—when they could have won without the aid of the Afro-Amer!- can vote and the same limitation ap- plies 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 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 gover- nor for Ohio and any other Repub- lican state?

Voluntary Workers Form An Or- ganization to Secure Campaign Contributions ‘Throughout State, COLUMBUS, 0., May 16.—A three-week campaign Is to begin to- morrow to raise funds with which to assist Secretary of State Harvey ©. Smith (white) in his campaign for the Republican nomination for governor. ‘This anouncement was made tonight by friends of the candidate. One dollar contributions will be sought, each donor to re- ceive a celluloid button bearing the likeness of Judge Smith and the words: “For governor, Harvey C. Smith, my choice.” ' Voluntary workers throughout the state have formed an organization to obtain the contributions, Maurice Langan, former Columbus hotel man and former president of the Columbus Charity Newsies, is in charge of the dollar drive. Two years ago, our candidacy for the Republican nomination for Sec- retary of State made Harvey C. Smith, then as now holding thai 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. pre- decessor, Secretary ©. Q. Hilde- brandt, ‘had also refused us, {or his two-year term of office. the recognition avery Obio Republican Secretary of State exept them had freely given for more than thirty years. It was their refusal, along this line, that prompted the’ writer to stand as a candidate against them, for both of them were “in the field,” too, two years ago. We so announced to the press of Co- lumbus, the day we registered there, but the daily newspapers of the state capital refused to pub- lish our statement. “The Old Re- liable” Gazette did publish it, however, and repeatedly. — Now then, we have been reliably ir- formed” that Secretary - of State Harvey C.

Tell it. “brother and sister”; TELL IT! NOT AN “INDEPENDENT” CANDIDATE, In the President’s home state of Ohio, we find that veteran Repub- lean’ newspaperman and former member of the Ohio Legislature, Ed- itor Harry C, Smith, threatening to make an independent campaign for the governorship. The fact that he revelved some sixty thousand votes for secretary of State in 1920 in- vests this movement with some im- portance. Whether it is merely bid on the veteran's part for 4 juicy 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 this Ume, “threatening to make any independ- ent campaign for the Governor- ship; nor is our probable candi- dacy “a bid on the veteran’s (our) part for a juicy federal appoint ment.” We have stated our post tion so plainly, so often, and have kept it standing on the last pags of this paper so long, that we fail to see how our good friend of the New York Age came to make hi mistake, How come, Brother Fred Moore? If we enter the contest as seems highly probable at this time, our candidacy will be regu: larly Republican and not “indepen: dent.” As to future years? That is an- other thing—to be considered when the tine comes. However, we are hopeful that Ohio Republicans wil waje 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 un- neceseary at any time, OHIO STIRRED UP Over the Probable Candidacy for Governor of the Editor of “The Gazette"—Great Thing for ‘Our Peosie 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 be- Meve 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 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 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 as well as inculeate pride for their own, for with races it is much the same as it is with Individuals—no fone is apt to hold a higher opinion of us than we hold of ourselves— and the political movement to run for office is « move made in the right direction which 1 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 brotner” 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- fored people have continually been fooled into believing that any one party, no matter how badly mis- managed, was their best friend, Yours sincerely, Francis H. Warren, TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of sub- mitting to diserimination 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- ial ‘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 caval rights; they are by na: ture without, self-respect and have no ‘guts’” ‘The world re- spects orly those who resent and resist proseriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abo- Iitionists, worthy cf our own fathers who have d'ed in every war to vindieate the title of thelr race to equal Uberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to de- serve contempt. — Boston (Mas:.) Guardian.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many reader: of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry e Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the Tist 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, eat- ing house, barber-shop, public con- veyance 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 ac- commodations, advantages. facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty dave nor more than ninety days. or Soth. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the per- son aggrieved thereby to be recov- ered in any court of competent jur- isdiction in the county where such of- fense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme ‘court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they shovld and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts, Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufac- tured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years fe: the Ak- ron Beacon Journal published an edi- torial to which the editor of The Ga- zette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from ‘Judge Grant, former presiding judge ‘of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: : Akron, 0., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your let- ter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, 1 venture to send you, under a sep. arate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co, vs. Leonard H. Forman, de- cided in Akron, last fall, in which a Judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon- Journal kad known what was one in Its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO 18 UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, C. R Grant. Values In Business. 1 believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education —in all phases of education. 1 belleve, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the Negro, like the rest of man- kind, must learn to work out more of his problems along business lines than be has in the past; he must learn as others have learned, that « great deal of the so-called race problems can and must be worked out at six per cent.
