ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since MIGRATION STATISTICS "Black Belts" Disintegrating.—Change Due to Decreasing Birth-Rate, Etc. ATLANTA, Ga.—The historic Southern "Black Belts" are disintegrating and are destined to pass in a few more generations, according to census studies made by Dr. T. J. Wolfter, a sociologist of this city. In 1880 there were 300 counties in the South in which the Negro population outnumbered the white. By 1910 the number had shrunk to 264, and in 1920 there were only 216. In 1910 fifty-four counties showed a Negro population of more than three to one. In 1920 only thirty-two counties had so high a proportion. Migration to the North and to the cities and a decreasing birth rate have caused the change. During the last decade the cities gained three quarters of a million in Negro population and the rural districts lost a quarter of a million. The increase in the whole country was only 600-000, or 61-2 per cent, as against eleven, fourteen, seventeen and twenty-two per cent respectively in th four decades preceding. Mean time the infant death rate among the race continues to be heavy. The Northern States showed the largest percentage of gain, Michigan loading with 251 per cent. Pennsylvania now has more Negroes than Maryland or Kentucky and Ohio more than Oklahoma. North Carolina had a gain of 65.546 and Texas of 51.645, while Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Arkansas each gained from twenty thousand to forty thousand. Mississippi lost 74.303, Kentucky lost 25.718, Tennessee 21.330, Louisiana 13.617, and Alabama 7.630. Another Contribution. McKinney, Ky., June 20, 22. Hon. Harry Clay Smith.

J. -Harvard alumni will "set their faces against any discrimination in race or color," the annual conference of the N. A. A. C. P. was told Monday, by Moorefield Storey, noted lawyer and a Harvard graduate. He said many prominent alumni would endeavor to keep Harvard the democratic institution it was when founded. I do not think the time will ever come when Harvard will say any man cannot come here to be educated because of his race or color," he added. The P. D. club meets, Sunday, at Miss Clara Anderson's, E. 97th St. Judge. Robert H. Terrell. WASHINGTON, D. E. C.—President Harding, last week, sent the name of Robert H. Terrell to the Senate for confirmation as judge of the Municipal court in the District of Columbia. Mr. Terrell has held the position under former Presidents Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. The Senate is expected to confirm the appointment; the no one can tell just what it will do, since it turned down, the appointment of Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson (Republican national committee from Georgia) as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia on the insistence of Senate: Tom Watson of Georgia and other southern Democratic Senators.

Smith Editor, Harry C. Smith, Buller, The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir:—Please allow me space in the columns of The Gazette to note the following greetings from our A. M. E. Zion church here. A progressive spirit has touched our people, especially in the last sixty days as never before. I feel greatly elated over the splendid efforts which have been manifested by our stewardesses and preacher-steward, Bro. Wm. Washington. The first of last month, I received a bill for $52.50 from the J. P. Orr Fire Ins. Co. Our treasury was practically empty. On the suggestion of Bro. Wm. Washington, I called a special meeting of the stewardess board, over which Sister Edith Reid presided with efficiency and dignity. Mrs. Allen, treasurer, and Bro. Washington raised $67.50 in one week. This money, on the order of the president of the board of trustees, was turned over to the banking committee. All the auxiliaries with the trustees gave a standing vote of thanks as a mark of their appreciation for raising the money so quickly to pay the insurance bill. The church is now clear of debt. A week later, as a result of the efforts of Bro. J. F. Reed, chairman of the trustee board, $16 more was added, making the total $82.50. Just this previous to the receipt of the bill, the pastor had paid $41.50 on it. This amount was deducted from the total sum raised, leaving a balance of $41 in the hands of banking committee. The members of this committee are Messrs. Washington, Reid and Bro. Wm. Butler, all splendid church workers. The members of the auxiliaries pledged themselves to increase the amount in hand to $150 in the next sixty days, for the purpose of painting the church. Preparations are now being made for a sixty chicken supper to raise funds to meet our District Conference claims, which convenes in Youngstown, in July. Much credit for our financial success is due our big-hearted, generous and Christian white friends, who have always come to our rescue. They may have equals, but no superiors in this state or country. Sunday evening, the 21st ult., one of our young ladies, Miss Christina Reid, secretary of the "Buds," came forward after my sermon and presented the church with a beautiful new $25 Morroco-bound bible, a donation from one of our generous white friends, Mrs. Eva Lynch Ball, one of Mercer's best people. I felt honored to meet Mrs. Ball recently through Miss Reid and was fully impressed with her Christian spirit and kind heart. The following are officers of the church and its auxiliaries: Mrs. Edith Reid, pres. of the stewardess board; Mrs. Alice Allen, treas.; Mrs. Matlyn Robinson, sec.; Mrs. Jane Richard, Mrs. Geo. Robertson, Miss Othelda Reid, pres. of the "Buds"; Miss Christina Reid, sec.; Mrs. Rosa E. Mason, pres. Christian Endeavor; Bro. Ww. Washington, preacher-steward. Bro. J. F. Reid, chairman of the trustee board; Bro. Wm. Butler, treas.; Bro. C. B. Richard, Bro. Frederick Robinson, sec. of the trustee board. (Rev.) J. L. Mason, P. C. Mrs. Sarah Goode and daughters, Mesdames Dorsey and Pierson. E. 43rd St., are planning to spend their usual summer vacation on her farm in southern Ohio. Bishop Demby Says Our People' Arc and Bollties Agitation as to "Social Equality"—No Such Thing. Forest City, Ark—In an address here, June 12, '22, on "Race Relationship," Rt. Rev. E. Thomas Demby, suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Arkansas, pleaded for a better understanding between the two races in the South. The address was delivered in Christ Episcopal church and a number of white citizens also attended. Dr. Demby declared that America would always be controlled and governed by Americans and not by foreigners. He declared that the great majority, of Negroes of the South were loyal, true-hearted Americans in the deepest sense of the word and the white people of the South had it within their power to make this unit of its population a mighty arm of defense in upholding and safe-guarding the sacred traditions and principles upon which this republic was founded and which now many un-Christian and evil foreign groups are conspiring secretly to destroy. Bishop Demby made a plea for better housing conditions, better school facilities, better traveling accommodations, better police protection as among the things that could be worked out through the aid and support of the better class of white American citizens of the South. This, he said, would tend to make the Negro more contented and happy and result in giving the black man a new and higher vision of life. Touching upon the so-called question of "social equality" the visitor declared there was no such thing as "social equality" among the white people—there being certain groups and classes (as well as individuals) that would not think of associating with other groups and classes upon a basis of equality, and said that this same thing was true of our race. The bishop laid particular stress upon the fact that the so-called question of "social equality" did not give him any concern. THE RIGHT SPIRIT!

A farmer in the Tennessee hills sold his land for $1,800. Other farmers determined to get that money. They lured the farmer away on a fox hunt. They sent two women, their wives, disguised, dressed as men with their faces blackened to get the money from the farmer's wife. She resisted and was murdered. A man coming along thought the two women with black faces in men's clothes were Negroes, shot them both dead, then ran away. Quite a surprise for the husbands of the two women that were killed. The story doesn't say what became of the $1,800—Arthur Brisbane in Cleveland Daily News. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OUR PEOPLE OF OHIO Must Stand Together As A Unit And Work And Vote For Their Candidate for the Republican Nomination for Governor-They Can Nominate Harry Clay Smith-He Can Be Elected! Special to The Gazette. Jersey City, N. J. — Negroes in certain states of the North and Middle West have a golden opportunity to use their votes wisely for the country and their own political advancement. There are two parties, Republican and Democratic, and one of these parties must win at the November election. One-third of the U. S. Senators must be elected. Shall they be Democratic or Republican? They should and must be Republican. We take this stand because the evils that afflict us as a nation are due in a great measure to the misrule of the Democratic party for eight years. This party waged a war and it was the Democratic Senate and House of Representatives that did all they could to humiliate our people. They placed the stamp of black upon every one of our soldiers in order that the southern clique that ran the government might humiliate them at home and abroad. All our soldiers suffered at the hands of that Democratic Congress the world will never know. Then, too, it is the Democratic Senate that acquiesced in the driving out of the employment of the Federal Government that army of most competent colored men and women. Now, it is the Democratic clique in the Senate that opposes any anti-lynching bill because it would, as a law, interfere with their method of entering Congress as they have done heretofore. The Senators of the South do not raise their voices against the barricades practices of their, constituents because this is a part of the Democratic propaganda of the South. Whenever the Democratic party is in power, the South rules. To send Democratic Senators from states outside of the South is to aid that voulte oligarchy which fattens on Negro blood and franchise. The brazen attempt to make it appear that Republican Senators are responsible for the lynching in the South is characteristic of the Harrisons and Watsons of that section, whose standing before the honest world, is bad. Negro votes in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut, Maryland and Delaware can elect or defeat any Senator that it may be opposed to when there is the usual party alignment in these states. The defeat of any Republican Senator from a normally Republican state will be a menace to the lives of all our people in the South and a blow at the race in the whole country. If Pat Harrison, Watson of Georgia and John Sharpe Williams ever get the reins of government in their hands, again, no one knows what will be the consequence to everybody. Our people may have grievances, but let these grievances be worked out within the Republican party. Let there be an intelligent, capable and unselfish leadership which will contend for every right and privilege within the party that any other citizen gets. Let the individual that is responsible for the grievances be told by the party that he must change or the party must relegate him to the background. The Republican party must learn to vote for competent men of our race for offices just as we vote for them. Governors of Republican states must learn to appoint competent men of our race to lucrative positions within their states just as they appoint white men. The strength of the vote of our voters must be the measure of his office-holding. These things can White Wife Demands in the South That the Courts Keep Out of Her Marital Affairs. Fort Worth, Tex.—It is claimed that Fred Teichman, respected citizen of this city, is a Negro and that he has married a white woman, daughter of a wealthy merchant here. The hitch came, when Teichman's pretty wife, interviewed by reporters, asked that the newspapers and the law keep out of her marital affairs. She further asks that since she is satisfied with her husband, what difference does it make to the courts, what color or nationality he is? And this in Texas! Teichman, in court, admitted that he attended colored schools in Houston and worked there as a colored boy. The case is being worked up by an assistant district attorney, who claims that Teichman recently made a trip to Houston at the time of the death of his mother, a colored woman. He further claims that Teichman defrayed most of the funeral expenses. Good for Teichman! Doing Splendid Work. Barberton, O., June 19, '22. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O.

White Republicans must learn now to deal with the brain and manhood within our race and they will have to divide equitably the offices that come to the party. Let us fight for these things, within the party, but let us unite every ounce of our weight and strength' against the Democratic party that has for our political lifetime been our bitter enemy. Negroes vote for Republican Senators' and Congressmen. Harry Clay Smith for Governor. The Hon. Harry Clay Smith has entered the Republican primary of Ohio as a candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Mr. Smith deserves the support of all true Republicans of every race and color within the state. He runs on his merit as a Republican thoroughly equipped to discharge the duties of that office if his fellow-citizens see fit to nominate and elect him. The colored Republicans of Ohio can rejoice in that they have a man capable and experienced in governmental affairs to run for the governorship. He is no novice, nor an adventurer in politics. The country will watch with hated breath to see how Mr. Smith will make this important battle for the highest office in the gift of the people of the state of Ohio. The Republican party is not any race party nor is it a party of dark intrigue where men of a certain skin will swear that only those of their kind shall have an opportunity for political preferment. The honorable way that Mr. Smith enters the race should bring shame to certain of our political non-descripts in other states who advocate the running of colored men for high offices, but have not gray, matter and courage enough to bring out MEN who can do donor to themselves and the nation. We congratulate Harry Clay Smith for the splendid effort of our people of Ohio he is leading. my. home town. Everywhere I go I am talking Hom. Harry Clay Smith for Governor. Everything is working fine here for you. I believe you will get all—our undivided support. Yours respectfully, J. S. Willis. Looking After Our Ex-Service Men. Washington, D. C.—Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, special expert, charge Afro-American trainees, U. S. Veterans' Bureau, returned last Monday, from Wilberforce university. This marked the completion of an extended tour of inspection of vocational work among our ex-service men in Virginia. North Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama. Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois. Ohio and to many other institutions in which our men are being trained. His mission was to determine whether our men have been assigned to the right sort of training, whether their training is under competent instruction, and has the training brought them definite social and economic values.

JUNE 24,1922 Robert W. Pulley of Oberlin, our candidate for sheriff of Lorain county, called on The Gazette, last week. He is arranging a mass meeting (in Elyria of voters of that county), which he desires our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor to address at an early dafe. Calls of a like nature, for several other larger cities, have already been received. That is the spirit to show. It presses success! --- The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt, last week, of an invitation from Mr. and Mrs. J. Francis Gregory of Washington, D.C., to attend the graduation of their daughter, La Verne, from Dunbun High School, that city, Wednesday of this week. Mrs. Gregory was formerly Miss Eida Anderson, a native of Cleveland and one of our local public school teachers, years ago Her mother, Mrs. Julia Anderson Burdure will be remembered by our older residents. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. and Mrs. Gregory. --- It is a pleasure to call attention particularly to Bishop E. Thomas Demby's remarks on "Social Equality", published elsewhere in this paper. It is very refreshing indeed to learn that there is one prominent member of the race in the South who talks to mixed audiences on that and every other subject of interest and importance to the race like a MAN and not like too many of the race's cringing, toadying and boot-licking kind in that section of the country do. More power to the Bishop and his kind of Afro-Americans. In recent weeks he has made such speeches in Oklahoma and Arkansas. Mrs. Nettle M. Demby is a native of Cleveland. --- SOME "NEGROES" FAVOR SEGREGATION. Although the Cedar Ave. Boys Branch of the Cleveland Central Y. M. C. A. is attended by both race there is a studied attempt upon the part of certain "Negroes" to make it a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A.—something impossible, according to Central Y. M. C. A. officials. Some of our people are often too largely responsible for segregation ("jim-crow" institutions) of one kind or another. As an illustration—the new Catholic church movement for our people which a white priest has been steadily working up for about four years but could not make much progress with until some of our people, who came to Cleveland in recent years from the South, went to his-rescue and the new Catholic bishop, who is but a comparatively new-comer in the city (from prejudiced Toledo too), endorsed the very harmful segregation. We thought Bishop Schrembs bigger, broader and more democratic than he seems to be. His alleged excuse —that a few poor, misguided members of the race have been induced to "appeal" to him through the propagandist, Rev. McKenney, for a separate or "jim-crow" church—is very weak and insufficient when one remembers the vigorous protests filed with him in person by leading, intelligent and in the main, Catholics of color, old residents of Cleveland. Whither are we drifting? Stop and think a little. --- SEPARATE SCHOOLS FOR CLEVELAND. The first services of the new Afro-American Catholic parish, St. Monica, were held in the chapel of the Franciscan monastery. E. 23rd St. and Woodland Ave., at 9 A. M. Sunday. This work is in charge of Rev. Thomas E. McKenney, formerly assistant in several of the larger Cleveland parishes. The parish was authorized several months ago, over the strong protests of leading Afro-American Catholics led by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. R. Green and Atty. Selmo Glenn, by Bishop Joseph Schremsbch who claims that appeals came to him for a "Colored parish" from members of the race who came to Cleveland in recent years from the South and are members of the new parish. A site has been bought on E. 79th St., between Central and Quincy Aves., for a permanent church, but services will be held in the Franciscan chapel for the time being. Rev. McKenney recently returned from Cornwells, Pa., where he made arrangements with Mother Katherine Drexel, superior and founder of the Sisterhood of the Blessed Sacrament, to assist in his work. Three sisters of this community will come to Cleveland in August. Rev. McKenney has been working for several years to have a separate church here for our people because he has done the same thing in the South. He evidently does not understand the changed conditions he or is so prejudiced he does not care. A "jim-crow" or separate parochial school in connection with the new parish will be the next move, and the opening wedge for separate or "jim-crow" public schools will be driven. When these latter are secured about fifty of our local public school teachers will have to go—will be dismissed. That is what a "jim-crow" Catholic church and parish really means to our people of Cleveland. W. M. N.'S. When you find a "Negro" trying to "pour cold water" on our Ohio gubernatorial nomination candidacy recall and remember the "Negro" with "a white man's political ring in his nose" and possibly some of that same white man's money in his pocket. They, such "Negroes," and they are not numerous, thank the Lord, have ever been the bane of the race. Some times these "Negroes" pose as ministers of the gospel, strange to say. They, all, are traitors to the race. Black-list them, ostracise them, make them know they are persona non grata, as far as the loyal members of the race are concerned. They are W. M. N.'s! Whatever of progress this race of ours has had in the past fifty years and more, has been made with just this same handicap astride its shoulders. So it is nothing. In the matter of our candidacy, this year (and two years ago), the W. M. N. invariably approaches one with that old "bunk," "it will make enemies for the race," "it is not time to do so and so," "a colored man (speaking of one of their own race, too) has no chance," and a dozen and one other like fool expressions. Do not pay any attention to them but treat them as suggested in the foregoing, for they are traitors, much worse than the white political masters they serve for money, promises of positions which they rarely ever get, etc., etc. May God forgive them and all their pusillanimous kind, and MAKE them think, talk and, act differently—"for the good and welfare of the race." Beware of the W. M. N.! If we had listened to them, in the past, and made no effort, as they wished, where would we, as a race, be now; or if we pay attention to their dangerous fool talk now and do not make the best effort we can to help ourselves in everything, what progress will the race make in the present and future? We have waited long and patiently on their white political masters to do for us what we were and are clearly entitled to, and what is the result? We are worse off today, from almost every viewpoint, than we were twenty-five years ago. Tell the W. M. N.'s to throw away their white gods and serve the only God and their race, and let us act all the more vigorously on our own thought and initiative. We CAN win, and, too, without the W. M. N.'s (white men's Negroes). "NEGRO EDITOR SUBMITS PETITION" By James W. Faulkner. COLUMBUS, O., June 18.—When Editor Smith appeared today he caused astonishment in all circles. His declaration was refused by Chief Statistician Johnson because it was signed "Harry C. Smith," the refusal being based upon the close similarity to the name of the Secretary of State, whose declaration had been filed but a short time before. The editor finally changed the signature as Johnson requested, but under protest, and made it "Harry Clay Smith." The certificate was attested by five members of his race living in Cleveland. Political diviners declared the filing meant that Gov. Harry L. Davis was out of the running and that the editor was being entered to take the edge off the Secretary's alleged advantage. Mr. Smith, however, insisted that he be standing as an object lesson to Republican leaders and as a reminder of the unrewarded loyalty of Colored Republicans of the state—Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer, June 9, 22. Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith is the person responsible for the arbitrary ruling, referred to in the foregoing, which his chief statistician, Mr. Johnson, carried into THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., JUNE 24, 1922 effect two years ago and again on June 8th, 1922. His position as state supervisor of elections makes this possible and he has twice taken advantage of it. There is no good reason why Harry C. Smith should spell out his middle name and Harvey C. Smith should not do so. also. And yet, both two years ago and on June 8th, 1922, said Harvey C. Smith refused to spell out his middle name, offering as his excuse that he had none but simply used the capital letter C as his middle initial. This of course is amusing, to say the least. Again, we want to stamp as a willful falsehood the statement that we were "entered" by any one, either two years ago or on June 8th, 1922, and to say that our people only were and are responsible for our candidacies, two years ago and at this time. "Astonishment in all circles" is always created when the race, or a member of it, acts independently of the political domination of party-leaders particularly, and others. They do not seem to realize that this is a new era and that our people have stopped begging and have determined to force, in one way or another, the recognition from the Republican party's leaders they are clearly entitled to and have been kept out of for so many years. WILL BE ELECTED IF NOMINATED. The nominee of the Republican party in this state will be the next governor of Ohio. That is quite assured in advance, whatever choice the voters may make at the primary election.—BenJ. Karr in The Cleveland Daily News. The foregoing, written by one of the best known and ablest daily newspaper writers in the country, is a fact well known to every leading politician and many others in the state. And yet, you will find even "Negroes" in Ohio, a few of them, who say and effect to believe otherwise. They are to be pitied because they are the victims of a long-standing, white political rule and domination that has made them lose all confidence in themselves and their own. The great mass of our people in Ohio are not going to be influenced by such W. M. N.'s, this year, because they realize that there are EIGHT white candidates in the field and that we have a large man and woman vote (nearly 200,000) in this state, which afford us the best opportunity we have ever had or may ever have again, to nominate one of our number as the Republican candidate for Governor, this fall. If less than half, and more than a third, of our men and women voters, with the white vote we are sure to receive, cast their ballots for Harry Clay Smith they will surely nominate him. And if nominated, as Mr. Karr well says, he will be the next Governor of Ohio. Mrs. Verna Clark. Died, June 18th, 1921. One year has passed. It's sad but true That God has taken you. We all loved you, Verna; God loved you best. Took you from baby and husband To his heaven of rest. Sadly missed by husband, baby, father-in-law and mother-in-law. R. D. Clark. Adv. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an 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 merchaat who considers richest 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."

PRIME SPORT NEWS By Allen H. Dorsey. Another Tate Baseball Co. Meeting. day, when the Board meeting of the Tate Baseball Co., last week, tried to smooth over the dissatisfaction so rampant among the stockholders of the company and thought it had done so but the stockholders "took the bit in their own mouths" and called the meeting held, this week Thursday evening, at the Starlight Realty Co. offices. The main trouble among the stockholders seems to be the fact that President Demi Chicago Treasurer J. E. Reed. Geo J. Tate handles all the money, receives and pays it out, and that Treasurer J. E. Reed does not, as he should do, or resign. It is said that neither official is under bond. This seems incredible because thousands of dollars are handled almost every week.

Ill.—Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, here Monday on his way to New York, declared the champion heavyweight pugilist had not drawn the color line and that if the public winted in the fight, he would have heavyweight pugilist, and the financial inducements were sufficient, such a fight could be staged. Kearns made the statement as he went into conference with Floyd Fitzsimmons, Michigan promoter, in connection with the proposed fight (with Willard or Brennan) for Dempsey at Michigan City, Ind., Labor Day. A fight with Wills might take place prior to the Labor Day mill, it was gathered, but it probably would be held in the arena. The Kearns eyes promoter, Rick Hardy, York promoter, within a few days and the Wills matter likely will be considered then. "Whitewash" Was Not Sufficient. The Indianapolis A. B. C.'s not only buried the Tate Stars here, last week, by beating them four games by Thursday, but on that day placedowers on that grave by beating them a fifth lacing to the tune of 2 to 0. The Tates got five hits and the A. B. C.'s eight. Branahan and Henderson were on the mound for the former and Mahoney, for the latter. Bonner got a two-base hit. Sunday, they won from some club calling itself the Lorain Holley Krohns (white) The score, 19 to 2, in favor of the white, with aggregation it was, "Nuff" said. Boyd got a two-base hit and Bonner a homer. Monday the Massillon Agathons (white) swamped the Tate Stars Score, 11 to 5. McClaine and Johnson put on a "school boy" sketch in successive innings, each dropping a puny fly after having both hands on the ball, but the prize honer of the contest was the seventh, and ninth, who had replaced Johnson at short, grabbed a grounder hit by Cobb with a runner on second and third, bluffed a throw home, chasing Bratch back and then held the ball until Showill reached second safely. After the runner reached the base he threw the sphere to center field, letting in two runs. Tuesday's ball game with the Agathons was canceled off, owing to the inability to hit Agathons got 14 and the Tates 11 hits. Ricks and Murray each made a two-base hit.

The petitions are said to have been signed by about 1,400 members of the church which is located on the S.

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 Negro voters in the state, more than 10,000 of whom are in Cleveland. The fact that Harry C. Smith, for nearly 40 years editor and publisher of The Cleveland Gazette, the organ of the Afro-American voters of the state, and for six years a member of the Ohio Assembly from Cleveland, received 61,081 votes as a candidate for the nomination for Secretary of State in the fall of 1920, naturally inclines his people nominations are made from among white aspirants, and the demand for black votes becomes acute. Two years ago, asserts Mr. Smith, I tried his best, through standing in a candidate for the secretaryship state, to make Ohio Republicans sigh the importance of treating the Negro voters differently. It now is clear he continues, that the race must be come active in its own behalf as stop waiting for the other fellow voluntarily to give to it that which it is entitled, and out of which it has been kept without an encouraging outlook. — Cincinnati Enquirer. (Special to Cleveland Plain Dealer Columbus, April 8, 1920.) M. Harry C. Smith. to look to him as their choice for Governor. 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 easternern. Edito Smith's feature-compilations, as a member of the Ohio Assembly, in the estimation of his people, are Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching law, the latter the basis 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 Wall! Sec. Harvey Smith's On War. 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 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, the official of Electoral College, to place his name upon the primary ballots after he had ordered it to be left off of them. Editor Smith's Entry Cause of Worry. (Special to Cincinnati Enquirer) Columbus, O., Apr. 5—Congressman Knight's right 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 63,081 votes. Editor Smith says that "Ohio Republicans seem to be determined to continue to ignore (until next election day) the more 125,000 Adversary 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 candidate for the secretaryship of state, to make Ohio Republicans see the importance of treating the Negro voters differently. It now is clear he continues, that the race must be come active in its own behalf and be supported by 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, O. 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 after 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 pro-American effort has not been pleased with the American treatment of their kindred in Haiti and Santo Domingo. Still less do they relish the manner in which the white Republicans have traded on the solid bloc vote that they have delivered year after year. Policy of 1920 Recalled. Moreover, the desicion 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 Billy Davis, his chances on the other hand, there are reports Judge Smith's backers are inclined to blame Colonel Thompson's friends for the entrance of the Negro, and threats of retaliation have been heard. SEC. SMITH STILL WHINING If 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 supporter of Col. Carmi Thompson of Cleveland were disturbed as much as was Secretary Smith over the prospective entrance of Editor Smith into the primaries, this year. They feel that he will be as much of a handicap to them as to Secretary Smith, because he lives in Cleveland, home of Col. Thompson (and Senator Arthur H. Day, another Cleveland candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor), where Thompson has expected the lion's share of the vote From his supporter comes the suggestion 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 nominated, they are not defeated this year. In the 1920 election, notwithstanding the slideide, Afro-Americans elected only one candidate out of six nominees. WHY NOT A GOVERNOR? Brazil Has a President of Color—Dr. Lane Gives "Segregated Work"—"Muzzle Not the Ox" Special to Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer Columbus, O. April 10.—It developed today that an incident in connection with the appointment of Dr. J. Aubrey Lane, of Cincinnati, to be a state veterinarian, in charge of state institution herds, had tended to inflame the race issue in connection with the Republican primaries. The issue was called "Oil of the Americas" and demanded that former Representative Harry Clay Smith, of Cleveland, become a candidate for the Republican nomination for the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., JUNE 24, 1922 Governorship. There his supporters have issued numerous denials of the charge that he was brought into the race to defeat the Secretary of State, Harvey C. Smith. Back of the candidacy of Editor Smith is a question of recognition. Plans to mollyf this by the appointment of Dr. Lane have been upset by the fact that his selection produced a crisis in the Veterinary Bureau of the Department of Agriculture. It was not passed until Director L. J. Taber gave "segregated work" to Dr. Lane. Other veterinarians are reported to have asserted that they would not work with him and resignations were threatened. His Barring Reported He is reported to have been barred from the branch of the bureau dealing with inspection of certified herds because the veterarians usual are authorized to the name 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 out. Ohio Afro-American Republicans have not been pleased by the treatment accorded to Dr. Lane. MUZZLE NOT THE OX. ELEC. GOLDBERG ON. Editor Columbus Ohio State Journal: Several weeks ago your news columns carried a press dispatch from Cleveland which stated that Harry Clay Smith, editor of a newspaper, was considering the advisability of announcing himself as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio. The suggestion seemed so novel and surprising that 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, he the war and he must ascribe his key event. In the more than 40 years that I have been a close observer of political matters the Republicans have elected their candidate for president but three times—1872, 1904 and 1920—when they could have won without the ald of the Afro-American vote and the same limitation applies to the Republican states which have been held in the Republican column year after year solely by this vote. The good book warns us "Muzzle not the ox that treadeth out the corn" and reminds us that "The laborer is worthy his hire," so why shouldn't that great party of "moral ideas" be willing to give the Afro-American his share of the "spoils?" Why not an Afro-American governor for Ohio and any other Republican state? Brazil has colored man the president of the state. Why not an Afro-American in any position to which he may aspire and which he has the ability to fill Echo answers not? KORN F. BRIGGS. COLumbus. April 13. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR Omaha, Neb., April 20th, 1922. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Harry:—am indeed placed 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 nomination top of the great state Ohio. If our people do their whole duty as men and women should, in a contest of this kind—lay aside all feelings and do their full duty in protecting the rights of a race-loving and respecting people, and if only one-third of the 125,000 voters in Ohio would sacrifice all for one—they cannot help the disabled and the deprived, which justly do 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 proper due us as American citizens. Goo bless them, grown your efforts. With kindest regards, I am, as ever, your friend for success. Sincerely, F. L. BARNETT An Endorsement. Editor Gillette, Cleveland, Dear Sir, amending to inform you that our Highland County Progressive club has indorsed you as our candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio and promise you our loyal support. Done by order of the club, J. J. Rolls pres. Respectfully Yours, (Rev.) J. J. Burr. SEC. HARVEY SMITH'S "DOLLAR DRIVE." Voluntary Workers Form An Organization to Secure Campaign Contributions Throughout State. COLUMBUS, O., May 16. A three-week campaign is to begin tomorrow to raise funds with which to assist Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith (white) in his campaign for the Republican nomination for governor. This announcement was made tonight by friends of the candidate. One dollar contribution will be each donor to receive 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 charity president of the Columbus Charity offices, 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 freely given for us. He 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 State Harvey C. Smith showed his unwieldy friendliness and grace when race when 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 should go to bat with and all opponents within the primaries or other means of attaining candidacy for the various political positions. Nothing that has happened within in recent years has done more to enhance the respect other people have for our race than the dignified and determined effort to run for high office. Atty. Ashleie Hawkins for Senator in Maryland, Election John Mitchell for Governor in Virginia, and show the Harry C. Smith for Governor in Ohio, is putting a palatable taste in the mouths of the people of our race and will stir them politically as nothing in recent years has done as well as inculcate pride for their own, for with疼 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 others. The investment 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 needed, and finally 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. HARRY CLAY SMITH IN THE RACE. 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 put in against me in hope that voters 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 in New Chair, G. Hildebrandt, has 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 credibility of Republican voters and, if possible, enlist their sympathy to the extent of gaining their votes at the primaries in August. As we said, 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 contest. Two years ago, Secretary Smith and his wife could not link the Hon. Harry M. Daugherty, now U.S. Attorney General, and Senator, now President Harding, with our candidacy. They failed because neither of the gentleman named 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 this thesis and charge than there was two years ago, he is bound to fall again. It doesn't seem to occur to him that voters other than his supporters could "be confused by the similarity of our names." That is a thing just as broad as it is long when one remembers 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 not of his own. A year after State Smith was renominated, two years ago, but will not be successful at the primaries in August next. The great majority of Republican voters in Ohio apparently agree that there shall be no danger of his becoming the next Republican candidate for governor of this state: Indeed, they feel reasonably sure that no such calamity really threatens the party. They know that a man of color herewith shows him to be not fit to become the standard-bearer of Ohio Republicans, this fall or any other. Afro-Americans alone are responsible for our candidacy 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 thorny all phases of the matter and finally decided to accede to the wishes of the great and the great. The race 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 more than will be necessary to triumphantly nominate the writer and bring the coveted victory to Ohio. We are Ohio who the country will be the greatest political victory we as a race have ever had at the polls in this country and we are not over-looking 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 Afro-Americans, stand together in one solid phalanx in this contest. Be active continuously, individually, from now until the August primaries and let the voters know how much materially increase the 61.018 votes the writer received, two years ago, when a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State of Ohio. If we do this, no power except that of Divine Providence can keep us from the victory we seek. "Negroes" who are wearing white men's political "rings in their noses" must be made to "see the light," and the assistance of our real white friends must be sought assiduously. The writer is determined to govern the bureaucratic nominee in Ohio and do everything, honest and honorable, in his power to accomplish this end. Harry Clay Smith. ```markdown ``` IS IT OF ANY USE TO CONTEND 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, grooves 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 one nation discriminates continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardiad. 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. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. 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. (35 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 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 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maximum value of faction of the sum of the 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 distributed to the widow of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynchened has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons 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 jurisdiction of a police officer in county 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 be ed. representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob.

OUR GUAR CHRISTIAN 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, all the reasons applicable alike to all citizen and regardless of race or color, the full jurisdiction of such commissions, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be finet not less than fifty dollars nor 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 person agreeing to the petition, or served in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our own. We often as they should, but expect it to be for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outquery 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 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, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, this city, I venture to send you a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Purifice 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.
