Thus spoke a young man; here in the printing office of the Baptist Foreign Mission Board, with great feverence, as he heard the message conveyed over the phone from a long distance. While many brilliant minds are being taxed to find suitable expressions to eulogize this wonderful old Baptist warrior, Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., there are many less brilliant, like this young man, saying with reverence and tears forced back, "Old Man Boyd is dead!" because it was he who first opened the doors of a publishing house that gave employment to thousands of young men and women, and sent thousands out into the world as journeying printers, pressmen, proof-readers and writers. In his ambition to make something big he did not close the doors against the thousands who were not "Baptist borned and Baptist bred." From what I learn from many of the boys who got their start in his publishing house at Nashville. Tenn., he seemed to have said "whosoever will let him come." He wanted results —he got results—one of the greatest publishing houses in the country and the greatest Negro publishing house in the world! What other Negro would have attempted to do such a thing in a time when he started? How many, in face of the thousands of obstacles, would have continued to fight on to success as he did? What other Negro preacher would have risen above the petty denominational prejudices and made good printers of boys whose religious creeds were different from his? "Old Man Boyd is Dead." and we will never have another! Richard W. Nesbitt Philadelphia, Pa. The N. A. A. C. P. a Question The editor of the Crisis and other representatives of the N. A. A. C. P. have frequently asked about the balance sheet of the U. N. I. A., but we would like to make an inquiry about the balance sheet of the N. A. A. C. P. In the fall of 1917 and winter of 1918 the N. A. A. C. P. collected $50,000 to defend Dr. Le Roy Bundy of East St. Louis riot fame. One hundred and fifty dollars was spent of this $50,000, and the balance sheet has never been published to show what was done with the remaining $48,500. Where did this money go? Reflect. This is the start. We have other questions to ask in the near future. N. Y. City Negro World. Tom Fleming Dropped! Columbus, O. — The Republican State Central Committee, which met here, recently, elected Charles W. Price of Dayton a member of the Republican State Executive Committee. He succeeds Tom Fleming of Cleveland, and is the only Afro-American member of the committee. This is a wise move. Our people throut the state appreciate it. Fleming is positively useless to the race. Richard Henry Boyd, publisher, died at his home, in Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 23, '22. His wife, three daughters and two sons, brother and a number of close friends were with him when the end came. The deceased was a sufferer from diabetes for a number of years. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

J. H. JONES. President of the Trustee Board. Biogenes "Honored Man" Found at Last—Wealthy George Strothers, the Man. CHARLESTON, W. Va.—The honest man sought by Biogenes, many years ago, has been found. More than a quarter of a century ago, in the Circuit court at Polnt Pleasant, George Strothers was sentenced to the state prison on a charge of stealing chickens, as he stoutly protested, on false testimony. He served his sentence of two years and vowed that he would not return to his native home until he had made his fortune. And he did not. Today his fortune is estimated at more than $100,000. The last of last month, he returned to his old home; hunted up his former attorney, John Beilner, who defended him, and paid him his fee. His attorney did not recognize the client of 27 years ago, but accepted his fee of $10, insisting that the charge had not accumulated any interest. Leaving prison humiliated and resembling the injustice done him, Mr. Strothers went to Cincinnati, where he worked at the barber trade for several years, going from there to New Liberty, Ky., where James Gate then president of the Farmers bank of that city, lent him money to open a shop of his own. He married and prospered, later moving to Falmouth, Ky., where he now lives. Besides having a fine shop, he owns two farms, has stock in several banks and other valuable securities. He is a prominent member of the A. M. E. church and a high Mason, and naturally one of the respected men of that city. OUT OF THE ORDINARY! Afro-American Sanitarium Patron ized Mostly By Whites. JACKSONVILLE, Ill.—Of 2,553 persons treated at the New Home Sanitarium here, which was founded by our people and has a staff composed exclusively of them, 2,445 patients were white, according to its latest report, and only 105 Afro-American patients. The Institution, a surgical hospital, was founded by Dr. Alonzo H. Kennlebrew, surgeon, on April 12, 1909. It started in a small six-room cottage with one trained nurse, Miss E. M. Bland, who is now engaged in tubercular work in Chicago; one surgeon, three beds, an operating room and a new miscellaneous articles. Today it is housed in a large, modern building of thirty-three rooms with four sleeping porches, a large solarium, two operating rooms; three laboratories, and has a staff of seven nurses, three surgeons and eight associate surgeons and physicians. The institution is devoted to surgery and obstetrics. During the war it was accepted by the War Department as a training school for young enlisted army surgeons. The institution has both state and federal recognition. The patients' registry contains names of patients from nineteen states and Canada, the following being represented: Illinois. Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Mississippi and Kentucky. Spreading Anti-Negro Propaganda. NEW YORK CITY.—"Wherever a certain class of American tourists go in Europe they continually and industriously endeavor to convince Europeans that the Negro in the United States is ignorant, criminal, vicious and above all a rapist, ever ready to criminally assault white women and restrained only by sheer brute force in the form of lynching," was the statement made today by Arthur T. Long, principal of a large public school in Indianapolis. Ind., who has just returned after spending more than two months in France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. WOODMEN SOLIOST OF EXCEPTIONAL TALENT MRS. EUGENIA BREWER MAYO of Cleveland, Ohio. Lrmanate Mozo of Note-student artist under Alfred Arthur, of the Cleveland School of Music. Mrs. Mayo, who has been in the professional field not quite a year, does solo work and is directress of the St. Mark's Presbyterian choir, Cleveland, O. In her feature number, "Stands O'Dee," Woodmen's "Music Night," Tuesday, with exceptional beauty of expression, rich voice, personality and artistic gown, she ornaged forth a round of applause that was as enthusiastic as it was notoriously noisy. This Cleveland songbird responded with the "Rosary" with splendid appealing effect. A pair of earrings and a breastpin, given to Mrs. Mayo's mother by a slave man when the former was 9 years old, were worn by Mrs. Mayo on the occasion. — Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman, Sept. 2, 22. Mrs. Mayo desires to publicly recognize the exceptional opportunities and assistance rendered her by the American Woodmen, in her professional efforts toward the ultimate success she is determined to achieve. She is a member of the organization. It is a matter of general satisfaction here in Cleveland for our people to know that Mrs. Mayo was the star of the evening. American Woodmen's "Music Night," at J o n e s' Tabernacle, Aug. 29, '22. In Indianapolis, during the district convention of the order. Other participants upon the program that evening were also among our leading entertainers of the country. While in Indianapolis, Mrs. Mayo was the house-guest of the Rev. and Mrs. S. T. Davis, the former pastor of Jones' Tabernacle, one of our finest churches in the country. AN AFRICAN HERO. (By The Associated Negro Press, LONDON, England.—A tablet is to be placed in the ward of a local hospital where an African hero Chief Mandombi, allowed himself to be used for experimental treatment which resulted in locating the germ which causes the dreaded sleeping sickness. Attacked by the sickness in the Congo in 1890, Mandombi suggested to an English missionary that he be sent to England and experimented upon in order that some effective cure might be found for the disease. For four months specimens of Mandombi's blood were taken every four hours until at last the germ was identified. The strain was too much, however, and Mandombi died as truly a martyr to the cause of human progress as any of those who have sacrificed their lives that their fellows might have an increased chance for health and happiness. Mrs. James G. Offer, E. 34th St., has been quite ill since returning from Indianapolis, recently. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS o the Bishops, General Officers, Presiding Clerks, Pastors, Members and Friends of the A. M. L. Church and Alumni of Wilberforce University Crofters The main building at Willow Force University built by Blhpsne Payne and Shorter in 1865, 57 years ago, burned down on last December 10. By request of the executive board in session at Wilberforce, I was asked to hire an architect and prepare plans for rebuilding, and to have general charge of the processes of re-construction. Everything was ready by the latter part of April, at which time, the executive board met again, approved the plans, and voted the contract to 30. W. McGrath & Sons of Columbus, Ohio for re-construction, at a primary cost of $271,600. The changes in extras in the building will run the cost to $300,060. It is to be a fireproof building, built of brick, stone, concrete, steel and iron, including the collar and roof. The extreme length is 213.3-2 feet, extreme width 165.1-2 feet, height 5 stories. The building contains offices for the University executives, 26 class rooms for college students, including commodious music and science departments, dining hall, seating capacity for 1,000, auditorium, seating capacity for 2,500 dormitory rooms for 450 girls. Strictly modern and sanitary. It will be the finest, most expensive, and commodious college building, built by or for Negroes in the world. The building is to be finished by the first day of next June. In it, we expect to hold our most commencement. To finance this great enterprise is the greatest burden, all things considered, that has fallen to our race. We have now been building daily for three months at a cost of $20,000 per month, all labor and material to this time paid for. The building is now above first story and pressing hard in the second floor. Pishops Coppin, Connor and Heard are my immediate associates in this great task. I have every reason to believe that they will give the largest possible co-operation and sympathetic encouragement. About $50,000 of the money in hand has been raised by the little Third Episcopal District, and we are neither daunted nor tired. We need the aid of the whole connection and need if immediately. The trustees of Wilberforce University cover the whole church, and therefore the whole connection constitutes the controlling body. Control and responsibility are correlatives both morally and economically, and the exercise of the one, predicates the exercise of the other. The assumption and exercise of control, while neglecting the responsibility to support, is to be scorned by every manly man. Control without responsibility cancels the right of control. By inexorable law, the whole church must help rebuild Wilberforce. Will you do it? Will you repudiate a duty? We, therefore, beg all Bishops, General Officers, Ministers, and Laymen to send in their contributions at once, so that the work on new Shorter Hall may not stop nor languish. We beg that you not wait, nor delay in making your personal sacrifice in helping us to prosecute this work to completion. The furnishings of this building require $100,000 in addition to the cost of the building. We are, therefore, asking the church to roll up a collection of a half million dollars for the placing of dear old Wilberforce at the head of the column, in the Educational March of the Negro Race. We believe that all lovers of Negro Education regardless of creed or denomination, will help us in this enterprise. Hence, we are begging and expecting immediate response.

FRANCE'S MULATTO GENERAL One of Its Most Successful, Most Brilliant and Most Popular, is Dead—Wonderful Tactician. PARIS, France-- France has just lost through death, at the age of 84, in this city, one of her most brilliant generals, a mulatto native of Senegal, son of a French colonial official of English parentage of the name of Dodds, and a native Senegal woman. He had won some of the very highest prizes of his profession, for Gen. Alfred A. Docdg wore the grand cross of the Legion of Honor and the medaille militaire, which is only conferred upon generals who have commanded victorious armies in the field, and at the time of his retirement on the score of age was one of the principal members of the supreme war council of France. Washington, D. C., Sept. 5.—The Dyer anti-lynching bill cannot, be passed at the present session of Congress and will fall probably at the short session this winter because of opposition to it. House leaders said today. This bill carries a provision giving the government authority to carry to the federal courts all crime cases in which allens are the victims, assuming jurisdiction in such cases over state authorities and courts. The House passed the bill. The opposition to it is so strong in the Senate that no attempt will be made to force it through at the present session, it was said. The provision for protection of allens will meet with determined opposition from all states rights advocates. Rev. E. C. Morris Dead. Little Rock, Ark.—Possibly the best known Afro-American Baptist, Rev. E. C. Morris, for 28 years president of a National Baptist Convention, died here recently. A singular coincidence is the death about ten days ago, of Dr. R. H. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., Rev. Morris' leading opponent in the two National Baptist Conventions. "A Wonderful Man."

It is hardly necessary for The Gazette to call the attention of its readers to the great need of Wilberforce University, noted at length on the first page of this paper, and to urge them to do all in their power to help promote its latest financial drive. TAKING UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. While of course every one has the right to give any kind of a decent public entertainment, here in Cleveland, next week, they may see fit to it is hardly fair to our local committee of arrangements for the B. M. C. which convenes in Cleveland next week. The expense incurred in caring for the meeting is very large and the week, by common consent of our people of this community, was months ago given over to the local committee for use, as it might see fit, to care for the B. M. C. This of course includes its entertainments of various kinds to raise funds for the same. Therefore, the members of the committee and others in this city do not feel kindly toward those persons who are promoting the dance Monday evening, at Chamber of Commerce hall, "under the auspices of the Lambs Club." Just who sittate this club is not generally known, it seems. One thing sure and that is, the dance, Monday evening, has absolutely no connection with the B. M. C. meeting, so Col J. E. Reed, chairman of the committee, informs The Gazette. --- AN OLD LINE OF ARGUMENT Charles H. Grasty, correspondent of the New York Times, writes that the intention of France to take over the Rhineland is no bluff. "It is self-preservation and self-defense so far as motive is concerned," according to the view of French militarists. "If a strong policy leads to increased prestige at German expense it can not be blamed on France. It will not be France that will have turned Europe topsy-turvy, but Germany, whose recalcitrance forces France into measures to save herself from ruin." This is exactly the line of argument which would have been adopted had the United States joined with England in guaranteeing the territorial integrity of France, as was provided for in the proposed treaty, support of which was exacted by Clemenceau from Mr. Wilson as a condition precedent to France's support of the league of nations. That was just the point brought out by Republican Senators in their opposition to the proposed treaty—that the parties in Europe embraced in such a treaty would never admit that aggression originated with them. Germany excused her violation of Belgium's neutrality with precisely that kind of argument. WISE ACTION. By introducing into the postal service some of the flexibility that would be present in private business Postmaster General Works has given the country an illustration of the Harding policy of "more business in government." As everybody knows, in certain sections of the country it is the practice of many business houses to close up on Saturday afternoon in the summer. That means, of course, less business at that time for the postoffices. Mr. Work has ordered that wherever such a situation exists and a part of the employees can be dismissed early without impairment of the service, the postmasters shall dismiss as many as can be spared. That is what a good private business house would do, and what the government should do. Postal em ployees should be held to their jobs the specified number of hours, if there is anything for them to do, but there is no economy in keeping an employee sitting idle in a stuffy postoffice when there is a certainty that his services will not be needed for an hour or two or for the rest of the day. The government would gain nothing by requiring the clerk to put in time. It would lose, in fact, for the efficiency of the clerk would be relatively increased by his being relieved from duty when not needed. Of course, as indicated by the Postmaster General, the release of clerks in this manner would be in exceptional cases, when local business slack permits, and would not mean the retention of a larger number of clerks than necessary under normal conditions. A HUMBLE PERSON. If the friends of Ex-Gov. James M. Cox, late Democratic candidate for president, have any aspirations for the political future of that loquacious gentleman, they had better send him a radio to come home and quit making himself ridiculous in European capitals. Cox seems incapable of recovering from the Wilson mania for American membership in the league of nations, and his utterances in Europe, which are cabled to this country, are making it somewhat embarrassing for the Democratic party which has been doing all it can to forget the league as a political issue. A London newspaper reporter recently had a seance with Mr. Cox, who is quoted as saying that his tour of Europe is "the most informative pilgrimage I ever made." He delighted the ears of the reporter by referring to Washington as a slaveholder and a distiller, and as for the league of nations, he still wants to "go in." In fact, the league appears to have been the shrine of his pilgrimage. Cox was not very complimentary to his patron, Mr. Wilson, for in speaking of Lloyd George he said he could not possibly return home without seeing him as he is the "one outstanding world figure who has survived the war." The fact is that judging from the flashes of the Cox trip, received via cable, there is more of a fawning and servile attitude displayed by the leader of the Democratic party than ever Thomas Jefferson would approve. There is a distinct reminder of that character created by Dickens—Uriah Heap who was such "a humble person." However, if Cox will only come home and inject the league of nations issue into the present campaign it will furnish plenty of amusement to Republicans. COUNCILMAN TOM FLEMING. The effort to repair the pavement of Central Ave., which the city authorities, last year, frankly admitted in a public meeting at the Central Ave. Bath-house, was beyond the repair stage, saying too that it would be a waste of good money to attempt to make any repairs, reminds us of the fact that the eleventh ward of this city is practically without representation in the city council. Indeed, the ward would be better off if it had no councilman at all, because the residents of that ward could then appeal to the councilmen in the adjoining wards and get the action they so greatly need, in a number of matters. For six or more years Councilman Thomas Fleming has sat in the Cleveland city council, the only Afro-American representative in that body and about as useless a political appendage as the residents of the eleventh ward or any other ward of the city could possibly have. Quite a year has passed since Central Ave. was torn up for the purpose of installing a new sewer, a new pavement and new street car tracks, so the city authorities said at the time, and they were Maschke Republican organization men, too. Plenty of time has elapsed for the ground in Central Ave. to settle (since the sewer was built in that street); so the improvements mentioned could be started at any time now. And Tom Fleming does not seem to know this. By the same token, for more than six years he has not seemed to know that Cleveland needs a city ordinance that would automatically revoke the License of any public place convicted of unjustly discriminating against any citizen on the score of race or color, etc., etc.; that it should have another which would practically put the Klu Klux Klan out of business and that there should be still another ordinance, prohibiting the exhibition of racially insulting photo-plays, sub-titles, etc. All these things and more, Councilman Fleming should have at least ATTEMPTED during his tenure of office. He has not even tried to do any of these things, all of which and more Alderman (Councilman) Bob Jackson of Chicago did in a few months, last fall and this spring. If our memory serves us correctly, Fleming, as councilman, has never even attempted any of these things or anything else of material benefit to his people of the eleventh ward or the city, and now THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O..SEPTEMBER 9, 1922. stands idly by without a protest of any kind, as far as we have been able to learn, against the waste of the people's money in the alleged repairing of the pavement of Central Ave., and the delay in installing the new pavement and the new street car tracks, promised the restents of ward eleven and the Central Ave. district, last fall by him and the Maschke city authorities. If ever a people of any city were thoroughly misrepresented in their municipal legislative body, our people of ward eleven and the city have been for more than six years by Councilman Tom Fleming. BOOKS TO APPEAR THIS MONTH. Being Issued by the University Press, 5750 Ellis Ave., Chicago—Ot Special Interest to the Race. "The Negro Press in the United States." By Frederick G. Detweller. Is there a Negro press? What is it like? What is in it, and how far does it really represent the race? What is its contribution to the problem of racial aspiration and struggle? What lies back of the Negro press question? What is its history? In short, What is the Negro thinking? This book is an illuminating study of the volume and influence of the Negro press in this country. It presents facts, a knowledge of which will help to a better understanding of the racial problems which face American citizenship today. The Negro in Chicago: A Study of Race Relations and a Race Riot. By the Chicago Commission on Race Relations. An extremely important volume on the race question in America. The report of the commission appointed by Governor Lowden to investigate the Chicago race riots of July, 1919. This book is remarkable and valuable for the detailed account it contains of the conditions of life among the Negroes in the North and the propaganda employed to stimulate Negro migrations from one community to another, and for the recommendations the commission makes to police departments, state militia, the law courts, city councils, boards of education, civic organizations, law schools, churches, public employers, transportation companies, and the press. This volume is fully illustrated with photographs, charts, and maps and contains much original information which will be of interest to the conscientious student of American social and racial life.

PRIME SPORT NEWS ```markdown ``` Even the lowly worm turns, sometimes, it is said. The Tate Stars returned to the city, last week, after so many "drubbings," while away, they were apparently desperate, and in consequence put up a game, Sunday and Monday, that not only encouraged themselves but also their faithful adherents here at home. Perhaps their closeness to the cellar position in our league standing had something to do with it also. "Whether or not," they won three games in a row, the first two days of this week, with the result that their breathing apparatus works freer and easier. After nine innings had been completed at Tate Field, Sunday, they and the Chicago Giants, their latest opponents, each had five runs to their credit in the first game of the series, but the womens team faced a good try in the tenth, but failed to score, although the first man singed. A double play helped Branahan, but Williams fumbled a drive to short and Knight drove a long liner to the fence that Leonard caught with his back to the plate. The catch was the most sensational ever seen at the local feud. After pulling the contest out of the fire, the Tates proceeded to annex the battle in their half of the session without having a single man retired. Taylor opened with a drive to center that Jenkins dropped after a short run. Johnston followed with a crash to center that sent the Tate manager over with the winning marker. Branahan hurled a brilliant battle in the opening innings, retiring eight over the air route in the first six innings. Although slightly wild, he kept the hits scathed wild out of way, and when the Chicago clan began his delivery his support tightened and cut short the rally with a brilliant fielding play. The Giants registered more hits than the Tates were able to accumulate off the delivery of Powell, but errors in the opening innings presented the locals with three tallies, and as told earlier in this narrative, the winning run was the result of a muffed liner. The only extra base-hit, a double, was made by Jenkins of the Chicago.

Labor Day meant nothing to the Chicago Giant players at Tate Field. Monday. The visiting players were chased all over the Tate Field in a drill to retrieve the Tate Stars, but their efforts were not rewarded, the locals annexing both ends of the twin bill, 11 to 2 and 15 to 1. The initial contest was a pitcher's battle until the sixth when the Tate sluggers climbed Knight for a sextet of runs and placed themselves in the lead. Another massacre occurred in the eighth, when the locals accumulated five additional tallies, running their total for the first fracas into the double figures. Strong was scored on in the second and fifth sessions, but hurled a steady game, and after his teammates had placed in the lead retired the last nine men to face him in order. Powell was unable to mystify the locals in the nightcap, the Tates obtaining seven runs during the first two innings. After the second frame, it was just a matter of how many tallies would be pushed across the registering station before the regulation nine innings had expired. George Taylor was given a chance to start a conference and be placed in a throughout. Only seven hits were made off his delivery and were scattered one to the inning when the Giants scored their only run. Williams, Johnson, Taylor, Henderson and Boyd starred at bat for the Tates, while Leonard's work in center was the fielding feature. In the first game two base hits were made by Williams, Johnson, Leonard, Taylor and Bonner; triples by Johnson and Henderson. In the second, doubles were made by Williams and Johnson of the Tates and Powell (p) of the Chicagos.

I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education —in all phases of education. 1 believe, as well, in. all the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the Negro, like the rest of man- kind, ‘must learn to work out more of his problems along business lines than 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 cont. Dr. R. R. Moton. Is there any doubt NOW, in the mind of anyone, as to what race paper has the largest circulation and the largest following among ‘our people in Cleveland, and the state of Ohio? “The Old Reliable” Gazette has led for thirty-nine years and will continue to do s0. IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “al- ways will be discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- tion, and are panne even. s0- cial rights today. ‘The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than sub- mit. The race that Says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by na- ture without self-respect and have no ‘guts.’" The world re- spects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abb- litionists, worthy ef our own fathers who have died in every ici to Salen ee of ieir race to 7, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to de- serve contempt. — Boston (Mase.) Guardian. ‘Draws for Higgaee By Fisher Officers elected at the recent 0. 2. E Convocation at Akron, wer James H.

Nothing But A Political Trick To Fool Hamilton County Afro-American Voters And Put U. S. Attorney-General Harry M. Daugherty "in a hole' The Notorious Ballot-box Stuffing in the South, Years ago, "Out-Heroded" in Ohio. Cincinnati, O.—When the Hamilton County (Cincinnati) Republican organization, for the first time in more than forty years refused, several months ago, to place a member of the race on its slate for nomination for the Legislature, Aug. 8, "22, and then turned down flat at that time a delegation of our people, headed by the Rev. J. Franklin Walker, which appealed to them to do so, it emancipated from political serfdom many thousands of the 25,000 Afro-American voters in this city and county who could not have been "pried loose" in any other way. Right in the midst of this, along came that RACE POWER, the editor of The Gazette, with our HURY Clay Smith for Governor candidacy, during the recent primary, and with a speech we never remember stirred hundreds of our people by the biggest meeting of the campaign, as they had never before been stirred. He and Dr. Walker and E. H. Eunt, who introduced the editor, discussed the local situation thoroughly and drew the only deductions that were possible under the circumstances—told our people the truth, that they (here as elsewhere) had been political "door-mats" so long that not even political leaders, particularly those in Cincinnati, had the least bit of regard or respect for them, their rights or their privileges, locally or generally, and that they never would have, until our people learned to resent at the polls such aggravatingly unfair and insulting misstreatment as the Hamilton County public organization had so recently handed them for the second time in two years. To this the vast audience rallied with storms of applause that could have been and doubtless were heard for several blocks. No sane person will question the general feeling of resentment that rests in the bosoms and minds of our people of this city and county, and they are going to make it felt on election day in November! That the local political leaders (white), and their few black henchmen, are fully alive to this condition of affairs political is proven in their latest "smoke-screen" move — the Republican organization's pseudo endorsement (for that is all it really amounts to) of A. Lee Beaty, former member of the Ohio Legislature, one of its Negro henchmen, for an appointment as an assistant in the office of the U. S. District Attorney for southern Ohio. There is little or no probability of his appointment, and if he were appointed, it would not be anything like an adequate substitute for the membership in the Ohio Legislature we have arbitrarily robbed of by the prejudiced Hamilton County Republican organization, and they will learn this to their sorrow in November. Two can be stabbed to the back and to political death after placing him on its slate and securing his nomination. This, too, in a Republican landslide that carried all the rest of the county Republican ticket to victory on election day. We have not forgotten this even if some of them are foolish enough to think so. It was what caused, last fall, thousands of our people to cast their votes for Judge Joseph B. Kelley, the independent candidate for mayor. To all of the foregoing must be added the work of the organization's "slight of hand" artists in the booths of this city and county, on the 8th of this month, when they not only cut our candidate, the Hon. Harry Clay Smith out of THOUSANDS of votes, only permitting him to have, on the face the returns, something like 742 votes (this is how the county that poses a black vote of 25,000), but they actually on the face of the returns, mind you, turned this county's "wet" vote into a "dry" vote, election day and evening, by changing it from Durand to Thompson, candidates for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. That is certainly "going some," as all must admit, but it IS just exactly what was done here on the 8th of August, 1922. The Cleveland Republican organization, which was working hand in hand in Hamilton County Republican organization, seems to have done much the same thing there, certainly as far as our Hon. Harry Clay Smith for Governor candidacy was concerned, to say the least. It gave him but 1,681 votes in a city and county that has over 10,000 male Negro votes. Rud, Hynicka, head of the Hamilton County Republican organization and a member of the Republican National Committee from Ohio, is a crafty political leader. He feels sure, with the help of his black hemen, that he can "soft-soap" people here, until after election, with this Beaty recommendation "smoke-screen" nonsense but he will fail, this time sure. We have had much of this mistreatment, for many years, but in the last two years far too much, more than any group in the party could stand; indeed, more than double that any other group in the party would have stood one-half of two years. Many white politicians believe, the recommendation of the STATEMENT OF EXPENSES Statement of Harry Clay Smith. Address 2322 E. 30th Street, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The undersigned respectfully states that he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for the office of Governor of Ohio at the Primary Election on the eighth day of August, 1922, and that the following is a correct statement of the contributions and expenses in connection with said candidacy: I. Harry Clay Smith, being duly swn, say the foregoing is a full and true statement or account of all contributions made or received by me, and of the disposition thereof made and all liabilities incurred by me, to my knowledge. appointment of Beaty is purely an effort of Hynicka and his associates to win back the "black brigade" to the organization's fold until after the November election. Others profess to see in the indorsement a well-disguised opportunity to slap back at U. S. Attorney-General Harry M. Daugherty for his comments upon Hynicka's methods previous to the Ohio gubernatorial campaign. They argue that if Beaty is turned down by Daugherty, then on his head must rest the onus of having antagonized the race. If Daugherty appoints Beaty, then the organization, they say, is relieved to a certain extent, as it can so easily be done, without him, and public sentiment (white) against the appointment will be turned upon Daugherty. In other words, as it was expressed, "Daugherty will be put in a hole. Hell he be damned if he does and damned if he doesn't, and the organization will have evened up with him a bit for his past treatment." All of which is interesting, as it shows very nicely how our white Republicans here in Cincinnati view the matter and how lightly they regard those of the race here who have so long been their political "meal-ticket." As we have said, a half dozen appointments like that the Beaty "smoke-screen" recommendation only points to would not satisfy our desire for the loss of our only elective position, member of the Ohio Legislature, and Mr. Hynicka and his prejudiced Republican cohorts are going to learn this to their sorrow on election day, next November. Then they will be unable to deliver this county's vote like they did on Aug. 8. "22. Mark our prediction!" AN HONEST PRIMARY ELECTION? THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND. SEPTEMBER 9. 1922. would for one minutes believe that not only Harry Clay Smith but several other candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor were given credit on the face of the returns, for anything like the number of votes they really received in Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati on Aug. 8. '22. The primary and other elections in Ohio need a thoro "renovation." Of this there cannot possibly be any doubt. "MADE HISTORY." In spite of the "cutting" our candidacy for the Republican homination for Governor received in Cleveland, Cincinnati and at least two other of the large cities of the state, on Aug. 8, 1922, we have every reason to feel proud of the showing made at the recent state primaries. No, we were not last by a good deal! It is more than creditable to have received more votes than at least two or three of the other candidates, in a field of nine, and ours the only Afro-American candidates in the number. As well well says, we made history, two years ago and a few weeks ago, that our people of Ohio, and their white friends, have every reason to feel proud of. In his own prefect of ward 11, Cleveland, Harry Clay Smith received, on August 8, twenty-three votes; Carmi A. Thompson, 14, and vey C. Stuart, 15, on behalf of the City. And he was lucky to be allowed that many. Great is the SYSTEM worked here, in Cincinnati, Dayton and other Ohio cities, these days, and for several years past. It must be destroyed—THE SYSTEM! ASKS BOARD TO HOLD BALLOTS State Secretary Hears Count Wasn't Correct. Columbus, O., Aug. 20. Secretary of State Smith today announced that he had asked the Hamilton county board of electors not to destroy its primary election ballots. He said reports had come to him alleging more votes were cast for some candidates, both Republican and Democratic, in certain Cincinnati precincts than were counted for them. Secretary Harvey C. Smith, Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Congressman Knight and Mr. Duand, all candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor, are said to have been given a very 'raw deal' in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Dayton, particularly, by the local Republican organizations' representatives in the booths of those cities. A Counter Dare. "Parson, our friends dared us to get married and we never take a dare, so here we are." "Well, young folks," said the wise old clergyman, "I dare you to go home and endeavor to cultivate some common sense." No Inducement. "Rejected you, did she? Did you tell her you could support her in the style she was accustomed to?" "Yes, but she said she was looking for something better than that." And Consultations Are Frequent. Marks—My wife always consults me about every article of attire she buys—hats, shoes, gloves, everything. Parks—My wife does, too; that is, she asks me for the money. Not Everything to Be Desired. "Congratulate me, Jim. I am engaged to Betty Flyte." "I'm awfully sorry, old man, but I can't conscientiously do it. I'm engaged to Betty myself." And Such Prices! "It's the woman who pays." "Yes, but she does it with her husband's money." OF EXPENSES (Candidate) A.

Some time ago experiments at the University of Illinois applied radium soil to a rate at the rate of one milligram per acre, thus doubling the amount of radium naturally in the soil at a cost of $100 per acre. It was found that no appreciable benefit to the field crops resulted. Scientists have found that radium enanation which is constantly rising from the interior of the earth amounts to 100 times as much as that given off by the five inch outside layer. Therefore in order to double the amount of radium enanation naturally available for farm crops, it would be necessary to put several thousand dollars worth of radium salts on each acre of ground. One company which handles radium fertilizer recommends that it be applied at the rate of one pound for each fifty square feet of soil but even in this costly proportion the radium already in the soil would be increased by only 1.10. Obviously it would be simply throwing money away to use it. The results of the University of filious experiment confirm what the Pathfinder has said in the past in warning against fake claims made for radium fertilizers in advertisements in various publications including several of the muck raking type.—The Pathfinder. Fruit Trees Protected by New and Unique Contrivance A unique invention designed to scare away unwelcome birds is included in the collection of traps of various kinds now being assembled for exhibition by the biological survey in Washington. It consists of a metal box about a foot long which is painted green and intended to be hung in a tree or placed in a locality where the birds are wont to congregate. In side the box is a mechanism that can be wound up, and connected with it is a series of tiny guns which discharge small volleys with sufficient noise to scare off the birds. The box is loaded and wound up with a time gauge fixing the time at which the alarm volleys are to be fired. If it is to protect a tree of choice fruit the alarm may be about daybreak, when the birds are looking for their breakfast. One shot after another repeated at intervals of from three to ten minutes will scare off the intruders and protect the fruit. IT BURNS GAS AND CHARCOAL New Orleans Man Invents Safer and Better Oven A new gas and charcoal oven which has been patented by its inventor, a New Orleans man, is what he terms a "safety first laundry stove" and it can be used to boil clothes, iron and to cook upon. Tests are said to have demonstrated that the gas-charcoal oven costs less than the charcoal oven to operate, besides having the advantages of safety, cleanliness and quick heating. The inventor points out that the old charcoal oven takes from half an hour to an hour to get burning properly, and when the washwoman is at lunch or called away, it is consuming fuel without doing any work, while in the evening it is necessary to extinguish and therefore waste the remaining coals. INVENTS NEW RAILROAD SPIKE Simple Device that Prevents Rails From Spreading A new railroad spike invented at Utica, N. Y., has three spurs attached to the head of the shank, which curve in, thus clasping the wood to the spike. The improvement claimed for the invention is that it will prevent water from soaking in between the shank of the spike and the wood. The difficulty with the ordinary railroad spike is that it permits water to soak into the wood and thus loosen the spike and frequently cause the rails to spread. This improved spike will obviate all this trouble. It can be manufactured cheaply. SAFETY DEVICE IS PATENTED Intended for Better Control of Railway Trains What is said to be the most promising of the inventions submitted during the year to the Interstate Commerce Commission in its contest for a successful railway safety device for the regulation of traffic is an apparatus on which a patent has been secured by a Spokane, Wash., inventor. The device is so arranged that steam is shut off from the cylinders and air is applied to the brakes when trains come within a predetermined distance of one another. Applications for patents on the device have been filed in England and France. Gold handled by a dentist is always at a premium. GUNPOWDER IS OLD EXPLOSIVE HAS FOUGHT BATTLES OF LAST FIVE HUNDRED YEARS SAYS WRITER Chinese First Used Formula, Monks Perfected its Power The oldest explosive used for guns is gunpowder, which for about 500 years was without a rival. It is strange that we know so little about the discovery and origin of a material which played such an illustrious role in the history of the entire human race. According to the latest scientific researches it seems that an explosive mixture composed of saltpetre, sulphur and charcoal was first made and used by the Chinese in their war against the Mongolians. The famous scientists of the middle Ages, the Dominican monk, Albert Magnus, and the famous Robert Dacon, the "Doctor Mirabilis," in the thirteenth century, knew the composition of gunpowder, but never thought of its use in the modern sense. In Europe it seems the monk Berthold Scwartz first thought of its use for guns (Frieburg, Germany, 1321), but the Arabs had anticipated the Christian world in this regard, as they applied gunpowder in Asia much earlier and the Moors had used cannon in their fighting in Europe in 1323. After this in the latter part of the fourteenth century, it became more common and became a sovereign ruler in the fifteenth century, until the new scientific achievements, that is the more effective products of the organic chemistry, pushed same more to the background. It is interesting that the composition of gunpowder did not change materially during these 500 years, the experiments have always been made to improve it. Potassium, sulphur and charcoal remained as the chief ingredients as well as the mixing proportion (74:16:10) remained practically the same. Potassium is the most important factor in this compound. It furnishes the oxygen (KNO) that insures perfect burning of the sulphur and charcoal. As the ballistic effect is the greater the most perfect the mixture of these ingredients they must first be pulverized. The further preparing is done in wet condition after intimate mixing in the dry state. The mixture is pressed into the required shapes. After dry graphite is added and the pressed shape polished. Polishing is necessary for the purpose of making the surface more resisting and also to eliminate the flying apart of the particles by their electro-magnetic action. The products of combustion of this gunpowder are only about 43 per cent. aseous (clythy carbon dioxide and nitrogen). AT 70 HE RECEIVES BOOST IN HIS WAGE Ohioan, Whose Job Calls for Accurate Judgment, Gets Salary Boost in Latter Years. James Fogarty has just been given a raise. The reason that Fogarty's raise appears among the other oddities of the day is that Fogarty is going on 71 years. Most men quit getting raises at 45. At 60, many of them are fired. At 70, life is all in the past. But James Fogarty, 70, still looking into the future is working every day, think not of rest, doesn't watch the clock, and is still getting raises in salary. Fogarty is buyer for a big grocery and baking firm in Cincinnati. In that capacity he buys about a fourth of the coffee, tea and flour that Cincinnati consumes. The calls for accurate judgment and close attention to markets all over the world. A mistake by him may mean a loss of thousands. Also one-fourth of the coffee that Cincinnati drinks passes his lips first. if coffee doesn't taste good to him, it isn't inflicted on the consumers. He has increased coffee sales by accurate tasting. He makes his own coffee for testing purposes. Here is his recipe: Place your coffee, ground not too fine nor too coarse, in a cloth. Place cloth and coffee over the top of the pot. Then pour very, very hot water over the coffee and let the water drain through the pot. That's all. The result will be the best coffee you ever drank.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many reader: 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 or hotel or shop, public conveyance by land or orme, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined 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 law shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered 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 court cannot use it to should they, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

Misled by the foolishly manufactured outery 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 is good law and did not need amending to be passed from Judge Grant, 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, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, 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 its own way, it would not 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. Very truly yours, OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." "I honor the man who in the concilientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.
