Stanley Durkee at the fifty-third annual commencement exercises, held on university campus, June 9, 1922, a record was made, in the history of colleges of the United States devoted to educational work among our people, by having at one graduation exercise the largest number of students to receive degrees in the liberal arts, science, religion, law, medicine, pharmacy and music. In addition to the degrees in regular courses, honorary degrees were conferred upon Rev. Edmund Harrison Oxley of Cincinnati. Rev. James Luther Pinn and Herman Bernard Meyer of this city. The commencement address was delivered by Dr. Edwin E. Slosson, of the nation's capital. The commencement exercises were preceded by the academic procession which started from the steps of Howard's Carnegie Library at 11 a. m., led by the R. O. T. C. band. The procession was headed by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer; Dr. Edwin E. Slosson, commencement orator; the candidates for honorary degrees; and included trustees, deans, professors, members of the various academic and professional faculties, graduates and alumni.

WOODSON GETS $50,000 Our Historical Society in "Clover" at Last—Splendid Work of Its Director. Washington, D.C. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of our association for the study of the race's life and history, has recently secured $25,000 from the Carnegie Corporation and an additional $25,000 from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial. This fund is to be used to further research in the neglected field of our history and to publish the results of such investigation. These substantial contributions mark a new epoch in the history of the association. Whereas the work has heretofore been largely the effort of Dr. Woodson, fighting the battle almost by himself, it will now be possible for the association to carry out a more intensive program and attain its important objectives. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History was organized in Chicago, Sept. 9, 1915, and was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia, Oct. 3, 1915. Headquarters were then opened here and on Jan. 1, 1916, the director published the first number of the Journal of Negro History. The purposes of this society are to collect sociological and historical documents, to publish books on Negro life and history, to promote the scientific study of the Negro through clubs and schools, and to bring about harm between the races by interpreting the one to the other. The Journal of Negro History and other publications of the association are therefore read by all classes of both races in the north and south and abroad. OUR BOYS DID WELL. Students of Mixed Schools Still Winning Prizes—The Girls Lead, The. Detroit, Mich.-- In my last article I told of five of our girls who won gold watch prizes for their Pentathlon records in the great contest between 500 girls students of the Detroit public schools on May 27. On June 3 the boy students held their great annual Decathlon or athletic contest. Out of a possible 10,000 points two of our boys, Merritt Buckner, Lincoln school, won 9,347 points and Thomas Reese, Hutchins school, 9,107 points. Only two other contestants attained a higher percentage than Merritt Buckner, and while our boys did not do as well in proportion as our girls, it may be said that they had a larger field to contend against, there being about 2,000 entries for prize honors. Besides securing gold watches each of the highest ten also received gold medals for their splendid work. Friday, June 9, annual field day exercises were held in which 9,000 boys and girls participated for prizes, medals and trophies given by the Detroit Free Press. This is the big annual athletic event of the Detroit public schools. An account of it will be sent later. (Atty.) Francis H. Warren. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1922 A "ILÁY-WHITE" IN CHARGE Our People Protest, Segregation at Lincoln Memorial Dedication and Ask the Dismissal of Sherrill—They Warn the Republican Party. Washington, D. C.—Our people here, incensed at segregation of Afro-American guests at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial here, May 30, are asking the dismissal of Clarence C. Sherrill, superintendent of the capital grounds and buildings, at whose door the segregation order is laid. Col. Sherrill is a Harding appointee, too. The District of Columbia branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has forwarded resolutions (demanding Sherrill's dismissal) to President Harding, Chief Justice Taft, who is president of the Lincoln Memorial Commission, and Secretary of War Weeks. The segregation complained of is the second incident of its kind in less than two months, the first being the placing of segregation placards in Rock Creek Park. The resolutions contain a warning to the Republican party: "It would be a rude awakening and a painful disillusionment to us to realize that the party was approving and following a practice which was an incident of the institution of chattel slavery. Such a realization, in the case of a self-respecting people, could result only in severing of ties which until now have bound us to that party." Prof. Wm. E. Du Bois, an officer of the N. A. A. C. P. and editor of the Crisis, a monthly magazine, is a Socialist. 10TH CAVALRY COMMENDATION The Wonderful Morale and Military Frowness of the Crack Regulars. Draws Great Praise. Fort Huachuca, Ariz.—Following the visit here of the U. S. chief of cavalry, Gen. Holbrook, members of the 10th Cavalry (Afro-American, with the exception of a few officers) were granted two special holidays in appreciation of the excellent showing made during inspection. One day was granted on the recommendation of Gen. Holbrook and the other by the regimental commander as a mark of his own appreciation. The program included a full pack inspection, preceded by a review; inspection of barracks and stables, combat exercises with ball ammunition, a horse show of military events, a steppechase and a polo game between picked teams. Col. Winans, regimental commander, announces that it is the opinion of the assistant secretary of war that the 10th cavalry is in a class by itself in every way. The wagon train is rated the most efficient, spick and span in appearance, etc., in existence. This is the "graduation regiment" for all generals, including Gen. Pershing. In addition it hold the "champion athletic team" of the whole army. EXPLOITATION OF, RACES DOOMED. COLUMBUS, O.—The real peril of the world "has been neither yellow nor black, but white." Howard E. Jensen, professor of sociology at Butler college, Indianapolis, recently assorted in an address here before the Congress of Disciples of Christ, a national form of the Christian church. "The atrocities of the Congo and the Amazon and the throachment of the white race powers upon the Far East until finally checked by, the rising military, and naval power of Japan will serve to make this clear," he continued. "Over all of the black man's land, except for Liberia and Abyssinia, and over all of the red man's land from the Aretie to Cape Horn, there floats the white man's flags, while Asia, excepting China and Japan, is subject to white rule. This supremacy has been achieved through violated truces and broken treaties. I agree with Lothrop Stoddard at one point: That if a race war comes, it will bring about a union of all colored races against the white, a combination in which the white will find itself outnumbered four or five to one. This is the day of the white man's salvation. Within a generation or a century at most he must recognize that his period of exploitation of other races is over, and he must learn how to co-operate across racial lines in promoting human progress and in building a more ethical civilization." Dear Sir:—Yours of the 3rd inst., at hand. You will please find in closed $2,000, to renew my subscription, for I am sure we do not want to miss a copy at this important time. I want to tell you, Mr. Smith, that not another member of "The Old Reliable" Gazette family has been more interested in your candidacy, for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio. While there are not more than three or four members of the race in this township, you may rest assured that you shall have the hearty support of both myself and husband, and we are not keeping the least bit still about our choice for governor of Ohio. You have our very best wishes and heartiest congratulations. As someone has well said, "we can do nothing unless we try." Let us try to win! Yours for the race. Luella Campbell. Our Candidate for Governor of Ohio Our Candidate for Governor of Ohio 11-53-05 COLUMBUS, O. June 8. Harry Clay Smith, Cleveland editor and publisher, this afternoon filed his declaration as a candidate for governor. Two years ago Smith was a candidate against Judge Harvey C Smith, who was running for re-election to the secretary of state's office. Judge Smith returning from Mansfield tonight, said: "I was not surprised when Harry Clay Smith was entered against me. Two years ago, when I was a candidate for secretary of state, he was put in against me in hope that voters would be confused by the similarity of our names. "Undoubtedly" Mr. Harry Clay Smith received many votes that were intended for me. But the trick failed. I was re-nominated... Cleveland, (Ohio) Plain Dealer, June 9, 1922. Relative to the foregoing, we desire to say that there is absolutely no truth in the charge made two years ago by Secretary Harvey C. Smith and reiterated in the excerpt published above. In the "hearing," held two years ago in the office of the Secretary of State who is also State Supervisor of Elections (Harvey C. Smith), we proved beyond all question or doubt that Harry Clay Smith, then a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State against Secretary Harvey C. Smith and Ex-Secretary of State Charles Q. Hildebrandt, was NOT "entered against" anyone, but had entered the race of his own free will, paid his own expenses, and had entered without the knowledge of any white man on the face of the earth. Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith, who is one of the EIGHT white candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor, knows that this is true but has a political motive in appearing to believe otherwise. It is simply an effort on his part to play upon the credulity of Republican voters and, if possible, enlist their sympathy to the extent of gaining their votes at the primaries in August. As we said under oath when on the witness stand in his office, two years ago, we say now—no one "entered" us in the race at that time and no one has "put" us in the race, this time, but ourselves. As was true two years ago, so it is this time—no white person had at that time, nor has had at this time, anything whatever to do with the writer's decision to enter the "Harry Clay Smith in the Race" conflict. Two years ago, Secretary Smith and his friends tried in every way they could to link the Hon. Harry M. Dammerty, now U.S. Attorney General and Senator now President Harding, with our candidacy. They failed because neither of the gentlemen manned nor any other white man had anything whatever to do, directly or indirectly with our entering the race at that time. Now, Secretary Smith is trying to repeat and since there is no more foundation for his silly wall and insulting situations and charge that there was two years ago the record to call again. It doesn't seem to matter to him that voters other than his supporters should be confused by the similarity of his names. That is a thing just broad as it is long when one member that there are over 150,000 men and women voters of color in Ohio now. There was no attempt to play any "trick" then and there is none now. Undoubtedly, Harvey C Smith received many votes that were intended for the writer. Yes, Secretary of State Smith was nominated, two years ago, but will not be successful at the primaries in August. The great majority of Republican voters in Ohio apparently agree that there shall be no danger of his coming the next Republican candidate for governor of the state. Indeed, they feel reasonably sure that no such calamity really threatens the party. They know that a man of the calibre that the except printed he-will shows him to be is not fit to become the standard-bearer of Ohio Republicans, this fall or any other. Afro-Americans alone are responsible for our candidate for the Republican nomination for governor. For weeks, yes for months, from all parts of the state, has come the call and insistent demand that we stand as a candidate. During that time we canvassed the situation carefully considered thorously all phases of the matter and finally decided to accede to the wishes of the great majority of our people and enter the race. It is our candidacy pure and simple, and with the assistance of friendly white "voters" thousands of whom stood with us two years ago and will help us again, there is no good reason why we should not be victorious at the primaries in August. Our people alone have thousands of votes more than will be necessary to triumphantly nominate the writer and bring the coveted victory to Afro-Americans of Ohio and the country. It will be the greatest po SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS British victory we are a race have ever had at the polls in this country and we are not overlooking the success of individual members of the race in the south during the days of Reconstruction. As many have said we never know what we can do until we try. Come now Ohio. My American stand together in one solid phalanx in this contest. Be actively continuously individually from now until the August primaries and be sure what we can do. Surely we can materially rease the 64,000 votes the author received last year when a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State of Ohio. If we do this in power, accept that of Davine Procter can keep us from the victory we seek. Negroes who are awaiting white men's political triumph in their lives must be made to see the light, and the assistance of our real white friends must be sought assiduously. The writers determined to be the New Republican general-term nominee in Ohio and will do everything honest and honorable in his power to accomplish this end. Harry Clay Smith. KEYNOTE FROM OLD KENTUCKY To our voters of the United States—The dark days of slavery slavery vanished. But there are many phases of life tangled with the hateful spirit of the hydra-headed demon—segregation. Jim Crow cars, the old spirit of slavery hates to give our people rights that are enjoyed by citizens of all other races. Why? we ask simply because there is prejudice in their hearts. The southern nation of our country is the land of racial prejudice. The southern people are its most conspicuous advocates and promoters. We have political slavery in this country and an organization known as the Democratic party, dominated and managed by men of southern views. Its prime object is to do everything in its power to degrade and belittle our people. The Republican party never told us that they "fired us." They want our votes but are not willing to vote for us. Do not do they want to see us appointed to positions of trust and honor. The Republican party today, is a modified white-white affair. The Democratic party is an out and out white-organization and is our open enemy. The "filly-white" Republican party is hypocritical. Let us go to the polls and take the masks off of IN UNION WE IS STRONG of Ohio I have candidates of our own for offices from town marshal to the highest office in the gift of the people. The southern people seem to be holding President Harding, as it seems by the hand. He asked for our votes and got them. Now, he is not treating us right and apparently does not intend to do so. Let us also put our own candidates in all congressional districts. If we can't elect them, we can at least show that we are men and women. We must have our candidates in the southland as the southern states have distrressed us and the Republican "hilly whites" have, by their silence, and amen to it. The southern people burn our people to death and shoot, marin and lynch-murder them. Our "hilly-white" Republican states are such great constitutional lawsuits they are not wise enough to frame an anti-lynching bill with a view to protecting the lives of down-trodden citizens of color of this country. Such men are not entitled to our confidence. Don't vote for them! Tell them to their votes that you intend to vote against them. Wants, "The Old Rellable" to Live On, Columbus, O. June 9. 222 Hon.

Nine of these candidate are Repub- Means.” ‘There are those who seem to feel that tho thirteenth is indicative of the success of “the dark horse,” there being one Afro-American can- didate among the thirteen men- tloned. ilies IN THE RACE ‘Last week, Wednesday, after weeks nd months of careful thought and @ thoro canvass of the situation, the writer decided to enter the race for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio, in compliance with the wishes of the great mass of our people of the state. We mailed the $25 fee and our candi- date application, properly filled out and attested, by special —deliv- ry letter to our long-time and very good friend, Rev. C, D. White of Columbus, with the request that he file the latter on the following (Thursday) morning. This he did, telling us over the long-distance Phone in the afternoon of that day that when he appeared in the Sec- retary of State's office with the document and money, “it was like @ clap of thunder in a clear sky” to Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith's office force, the secretary being absent from the city. Rev. White was accompanied by his son and Col. Robert S. Allen of Colum- bus, another long-time friend of the writer. He also said that the Sec- Tetary’s office representatives, as was the case two years ago, insist- ed that our middle name be spelled out even though this was not re- quired of Secretary Harvey C. Smith or any other candidate. ‘To this Rev. White consented (but en- tered protest) because he did not wish to give any excuse for a re- fusal to accept the nomination paper and fee. Now that we have ac- ceded to the wishes of so very many of our people thruout the State what are you and your friends Boing to do to help Ohio Afro- Americans win this contest? It can be done but only by good, hard and continuous work, daily, from now untit the day of the primaries in | August. We are going to do our part and more. Of this, all may rest assured. rs WILL YOU HELP? An interesting coincidence is the) fact that two white friends, (one fn Ohio (the Hon. L. H. Scott of Cadiz) and one in New Jersey (the Rev, Geo. W. Brent of Madison), both for years subscribers of “The Old Reliable” Gazette, were among the first to offer to contribute to our campaign fund. As the former well ‘says, the writer cannot possibly hope alone to bear the expense of such ja campaign as must be made be- fore the August primaries and ought not to be expected by our people to do so. It fs entirely too great and heavy a burden for any’ one poor man to bear—tho’ we are willing to do our part and more. ‘The fight lof two years ago—also for the race |—cost us nearly six hundred dol- lars; only about one hundred and twenty-five of which was contrib- luted by our people and a few Cleve- land white friends (toward our cam- paign expenses.) ‘This was doubt- less because we did not ask for financial assistance, never dreaming that so great an expense would be entailed. Our pride would not per- mit us to do so afterward. The two hundred dollars the writer con- tributed to and raised after the battle was all over to give to our attorneys, who rendered such splen- did service voluntarily, was not part of our campaign expenses. The near six hundred dollars, except the one hundred and twenty-five dollars referred to, was paid by the writer with his own money and not on¢ dollar of it was given us by any one (person or organization) prior to or subsequent to the contest ‘This we say particularly for the benefit of one Harvey C. Smith Let the loyal members of the race, men and women, “put theft shoulders to the wheel” and, witt the financial assistance of friend: like the Hon, L, H. Scott and the Rev. Geo. Wilson Brent. we will easily raise a sufficient sum to enable our candidate to make a canvass for the nomination that we believe will net us the results so earnestly desired by the great mass lot our pople and their friends in Ohio and the entire country; for jall eyes are on Ohio Afro-Ameri- cans, these days. : ROBBER IMPORT BARONS. Democratic opponents of the Re- publican protective tariff law are ve- hement in their denunciation of the “robber barons,” us they call the op erators of American factories, but they maintain a perpetual sifence with regard to the robber barons who import goods from foreign coun- tries and sell them in the United States at an excessive profit. Not long ago Representative Fordney of Michigan, chairman of the ways and means committee, made some asser- tions regarding the cost of certain knives imported from Germany and the selling price in the United States. His statements were questioned and he sent a man from Washington to Chicago to buy a German-made knife in one of the large department stores, With that knife in his possession he sent to New York to buy a dozen knives exactly lke it from the agent of the concern that manufactured them in Germany. ‘The knife was bought in a Chicago department store, for $5, whereas the dozen knives were bought in New York for $2.70. Assuming that the department store which makes a practice of importing German knives paid the manufac- turer's agent located in this coun- try the same price that Mr. Ford- ney's messenger paid, or $2.70 per dozen, it would appear that an enor- mous profit was made before the knife reached the ultimate purchaser. There were apparently no middle men in the transaction. The depart- ment store buys from the German manufacturer's agent knives that cost about 25 cents each and were sold for $5. The Democratic op- ponents of the Republican protective tari bill insiat that if a tari be im- posed the amount of the tax will be, added to the price of the goods. ‘This THE GAZELTE, CLEVELAND, 0., JUNE 17, 1922 aad THERE are seasons of lull in your demands upon natural gas, but there is no lull, ever, for the organization and equipment which we maintain constantly. THIS is a necessity that you do not need to worry about—we do that for you—but we think you should know that while there are long periods when you virtually dismiss your gas bills from your mind, there is no hour of any day in the year that we can dismiss ours. WE must have and we must maintain all the time, both winter and summer, the resources, the equipment and the organization that are required for your service when everybody wants the most gas. DURING the periods of excessive demand, which occur in cold weather, the sliding scale of prices protects your service auto- matically. OUR burden of providing for and maintaining a supply that is dependable 365 days in the year is a continuous one. Many wells, miles of pipe lines, much equipment, all representing a very large investment of money, are idle and unproductive of revenues a large part of the year. We cannot turn off our expenses as easily as you turn off or turn down your gas. If we did you would not be able to turn your gas on again the instant you wanted to. THE EAST OHIO GAS CO. illustration in the handling of im- ported knives would indicate that such would not be the effect. With at least a $4 profit on a knife, after making due allowance for the cost of retailing, the importers could pay a 100 per cent tax on the original cost without adding a cent to the retail price. The more likely effect of the inereased tariff would be that under the influence of the import tax the manufacture of knives in the United States would be so greatly increased that home competition would be built up and the retail price would be re- duced under the influence of compe- tition. That is exactly the experience the United States has had in impos ing import duties on some other ‘commodities. In 1890, when it was proposed to place an import duty on tin plate it was charged that every person who purchased a can of fruit ‘or who put tin on his roof would be compelled to pay the tax, Instea¢ of that being true, American /tir plate factories became so numerou: and the production became so greai under the encouragement of a pro tective tariff that home compeiitior reduced the price considerably below what it was when the United State: was subject to the exactions of : {foreign tin plate trust.

This is why, it is said, that the affairs of the company are to be thoroly threshed out in the courts, at an early date, to secure the regularity and stabil- ity which it seems have not charac- terized the conduct of the company’s Reser.” |. | salted ep ame ee meas PGR Cae ie ass ee ee ) JACOB SCHNEIDER | BAKERY : Fresh Rolls, Pies, Cakes Daily ' | Central 1745 W 3028 Central Ave. | EEE eee eee eee eee eee eee eee eee (ae z - J.

Our People Thruout Ohio Organizing To Promote The Candidacy of One of Their Number for the Republican Nomination—Determined to Force Recognition. (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 African-American voters in the state, more than 10,000 of whom are in Cleveland. The fact that Harry C. Smith, for nearly 40 years editor and publisher of The Cleveland Gazette, the organ of the Afro-American voters of the state, and for six years a member of the Ohio Assembly from Cleveland, received 61,081 votes as a candidate for the nomination for Secretary of State in the fall of 1920, naturally inclin his people primary election ballot. At the time he received 61,081 votes. Editor Smith says that "Ohio B publicans seem to be determined to continue to ignore (until near day) the more than 125,000 Afro-American voters in this state. Apparently they seem to think, says, that the Negro is entitled no consideration until after all the nominations are made from amo white aspirants, and the demand of black votes becomes acute. The years ago, asserts Mr. Smith, tried his best, through standing a candidate for the secretary's state, to make Ohio Republicans the importance of treating the Neg voters differently. It now is cleer he continues, that the race must Harry C. Smith. 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 stand as a candidate. When asked what his intentions were, he replied that he would announce his decision later. Mr. Smith was recognized throughout the country during the two Harding campaigns for Ohio's indorsement—for the Republican nomination and for the Presidency—as the national Harding leader of his race. He also led those in the state with his paper, in the support they gave to the candidates of Frank B. Willis for the United States Senate and Attorney-General Harry M. Daugherty for delegate-at-large to the last Republican National Convention. His ability as a campaign speaker is well-known in the state, particularly in Cleveland andern Ohio. Do Smith's feature-complishments, as a member of his people, are Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching law, the latter the basis of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill recently passed in the U. S. House of Representatives and now pending in the U. S. Senate—Cincinnati Enquirer. Sec. Harvey Smith's Old Wail! Cleveland, O., April 3—Having reference to the statement from Columbus, published in The Enquirer, last Thursday, that "friends of Judge Harvey C. Smith." Secretary of State, and one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio, "say they expect to ascertain what set of managers are responsible for the promotion" of Editor Harry C. Smith's candidacy for 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 State Supreme Court when he held Secretary of State Smith. State Supervisor of Electoral Affairs to place his he had ordered it to be left off of them 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 repudiates the innuendo of the supporters of the Secretary of State, Harvey C. Smith, of Zanesville, that he proposed coming into the race merely to aid and abet the defeat of that state official. Big Vote Polled By Negro. In doing so Mr. Smith invites attention to the fact that the same charge was made against him two years ago, and that he was forced to appeal to the legal authorities (Ohio Supreme Court) in order to obtain a place upon the Republican primary election ballot. At that time he received 61,081 votes. 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 nominations are made from among white aspirants, and the demand for black votes becomes acute. Two years ago, asserts Mr. Smith, he tried his best, through standing as a delegate for the secretary of state, to make Ohio Republicans see the importance of treating the Negro voters differently. It now is clear, he continues, that the race must become active in its own behalf and stop 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. — Cincinnati Enquirer. (Special to Cleveland Plain Dealer) Columbus, B., April 9. "We do not know that Judge Cleverenger of Wilmington will consent to become a candidate, but if he does, he ought to sweep this section of the state. "Northern Ohio, hogging the ring, has ceased to be a joke." The Negro issue again is called up prominently in the proposed candidacy of Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Cleveland editor and former State Representative, and his candidacy likewise has ceased to be a joke among Republicans. The Negro solidarity is being shaken. It is understood well that the Afro-Americans have not been pleased with the 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 delivered year after year. Policy of 1920 Recalled. Moreover, the desertion of five of the six Negro candidates for the General Assembly by the Republican party in the 1920 election was a blow to their sense of justice that remains with them. For this reason the proposal of the Hon. Harry C. Smith to enter the race has led to more of a situation than appears upon the surface. Friends of Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith are more or less apprehensive as to what the presence on the ballot of another name like his would have his chance. On the other hand, there are reports of 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 throughout the state, although no other candidate has replied to him directly. It was stated, however, that the supporters of Col. Carmi A. Thepson of Cleveland, were disturbed 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 lion's share of the votes. From his support here, he suggests that if they knew of a to accomplish it, they gladly would join the forces of Secretary Smith to eliminate Editor Smith and confine the primary election contest to candidates of the Caucasian (composite) race. The Columbus organ of Afro-Americans seconds his appeal for Afro-American candidates of color and reveals that, in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Dayton, Afro-Americans again will be candidates for Republican nominations for seats in the Ohio General Assembly, and every effort will be made to see that once he is nominated, they are treated this year. In the 1920 election, notwithstanding the 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 Ox" Special to Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer, Columbus, O., April 10.—It developed today that an incident in connection with the appointment of Dr. J. Aubrey Lane, of Cincin- rHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., JUNE 17, 1922 nati, 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 the Republican nomination for the Governorship. There his supporters have issued numerous denials of the charge that he was brought into the race to defeat the Scratchy state, Harvey C. Smith. Back of the candidacy of Editor Smith is a question of recognition. Plans to mollify this by the appointment of Dr. Lane have been upset by the fact that his selection produced the most successful of the Department of Agriculture. It was not passed until Director L. J. Taber gave "segregated work" to Dr. Lane. Other veterinarians are reported to have asserted that they would not work with him and resignations were threatened. His Barring Reported He is reported to have been barred from the branch of the bureau dams with inspection of bred birds, except theeteen invariants 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 mayoral nomination for the governor. The suggestion seemed so novel and surprising that the item was carried in a "box" on your first page under the capitation of "Look Who Is Here!" Permit me to ask why an Afro-American should not aspire to the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio or any other Republican state. The Republican party certainly owes everything to the Afro-American vote. It rode into power on his back before the civil war and has been astride his neck ever since. In the more than 40 years that I have been a close observer of political matters the Republicans have elected their candidate for president but three times—1872, 1904 and 1916. I was won without the aid of the Afro-American vote and the same limitation applies to Ohio and many of the other Republican states which have been held in the Republican column year after year solely by this vote. The good book warns us "Muzzle not the ox that treadeth out the corn" and reminds us that "The lair is worthy his hire," so why shouldn't that great party of "mora ideas" be willing to give the Afro-American his share of the "spoils"? Why not an Afro-American governor nor for Ohio and any other Republic state? Brazil has a colorize man as President that republicly 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.

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, sheerly hope that the F1.081 students make good ones more and 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 believe. "When the great recorder comes, To write against your name— He writes not what you won or lost. But—how you won the game!

Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Harry: I have been watching the trend of affairs thru The Gazette, and hope you will finally decide to enter the race for the Republican nomination for governor. I will show that we can stand together in the support of a fearless, clean, capable RACE man. I want to assure you of my hearty support and believe that your friends everywhere will back up Ohio's colored voters. It please your friends to read in The Gazette that "you have no thing to lose" in anti-baning law and civil rights law are sufficient evidence of the constructive work you wrought when representing the race in the Ohio Assembly. It will help us more than you to stand solidly for you in this effort. Be sure and come to visit us before you get into the thick of the Ohio fight. Once in it, your coat is off, your sleeves rolled up, and "the fur will fly." Sincerely, John H. Cook. 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 our people do their whole duty as men and women should, in a contest of this kind—lay aside all feelings and do their full duty in protecting the rights da in bringing and supporting 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 voter in Ohio will do their whole duty as never before. Every state in the Union is looking to Ohio for a "Moses to lead them to victory" and bring about that consideration which is properly 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. An Endorsement Hillsboro, O., May 30, 1922. Hon. H. C. Smith.

Voluntary Workers Form An Organization 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 door to 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 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 predecessor, Secretary C. Q. Hildebrandt, had also refused us, for his two-year term of office, the recognition every Ohio Republican Secretary of State except them had for 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 Columbus, the day we registered there, but the daily newspapers of the state capital refused to publish our statement. "The Old Reliable" Gazette did publish it, however, and repeatedly. Now then, we have been reliably informed that Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith showed his unfriendship toward our race 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 vote for him for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, or any other when he or she is put in possession of the foregoing information. Tell it, "brother and sister"; TELL IT! 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 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- tention, for the various nontillectual positions. Nothing that has happened within recent years has done more to enhance the respect other people have for our race than the dignified and determined effort to run for high office. Atty. 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 nothing more insincere as we are in accuse pride for their desire 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.

People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "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." 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, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our nation, and however naive and discriminatory we continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mas. 1) Guardian. ETTE After bscribe After 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. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. 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 the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, or hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6252. 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 man and the man's family and the education of the minor 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 surviving such decedent, such sum may be applied to the widow of a child 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 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 19. 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 composing such mob. A person with hostile intent such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10. Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county, 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—(in 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. (93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of 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 accommodation, advantages, facilities or privileges she shall be fine 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 five hundred dollars to the per- apprived thereby to be recovered competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is that the penalty, often as they should, but expect it to be them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling it a motion to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, this city is venture to send you order, parate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter, Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH. nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education—in all phases of education. I believe, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the Negro, like the rest of mankind, must learn to work out more of his problems along business lines than he has in the past; he must learn as others have learned, that a great deal of the so-called race problems can and must be worked out at six per cent.
