Weaver, who for ten years managed the People's Drug Store, E 33d St, and Central Ave., has returned to the drug business after three years' absence. One of the nearest, prettiest and most up-to-date drug stores in the city is located at E. 45th St, and Woodland Ave., right in the heart of the shopping district of the 11th and 12th wards. This is the fully equipped drug store, with a fine stock, Dr. Weaver has acquired and its business is not only sure to thrive, but will beckon other men and women of the race to come into this community, where our people have made it possible for many race enterprises to thrive owing to the large increase in our local population in the last six years. Mr. Weaver's record speaks for itself. His hobby has been to train men and women in pharmacy; a number of these are now owning stores. "The Old Reliable" Gazette congratulates Mr. Weaver on his new acquisition and predicts success for the Weaver Drug Company. The public cannot forget the careful attention, and prompt deliveries. Mr. Weaver furnished in the past, as well as his prime interest in all legitimate race efforts in this community. Our people will not hesitate to welcome him back in business, in his new and exclusive location. The Gazette Forty Years Old. With a recent issue The Cleveland (O.) Gazette entered, upon its fortieth year of publication, more virile than ever. It has ever been a stamnach paper and gave telling blows against wrongs aimed at our people. We extend our sincerest congratulations to its editor, the Hon. Harry Clay Smith, whom we have known for all these years, and hope he will live to wield his trenchant pen for many more years.—John Quincy Adams, editor St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal, Sept. 2, '22. The Cleveland Gazette with a recent issue completed its fortieth year and Editor Harry C. Smith is receiving the congratulations, which he richly deserves, of a host of friends, for the splendid record The Gazette has made. Bro. Smith is an uncompromising champion of the interests and rights of the race. We wish for the paper and the editor many additional years of success.—Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist.

The Globe Theatre which is centrally located at Woodland Avenue and E. 55th St. and can easily be reached from any part of the city, is changing its policy to Colored Vaudeville and feature photoplayss. The Vaudeville, usually consisting of 5 acts, will be shown during the entire week, commencing Monday evening and continuing until Sunday night, with matinees on Sundays. The feature photo plays, however, will be changed three times a week, on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Mr Bob Davis, a showman and a member of the race, who has been in this business for the past 25 years, has been engaged to manage the theatre. He has informed us that he has made arrangements with the Theatre Owners' Booking Association which is operating theatres for our people, particularly throughout the southern and eastern part of the country, to have all Colored acts in their circuit appear in Cleveland. They will appear at the Globe Theatre first! This theatre, which can accommodate 1,400 people, is large enough for our biggest shows, and it is the intention of the management to bring such shows as "Shuffle Along." "Smart Set," Strutt Miss Lizzie. "O Joy," "Plantation Review." "Mamie Smith" and others traveling thru this vicinity. It is the aim of the management to make the Globe Theatre a place of amusement for our best talent, throut the country and at popular prices. The opening bill for Monday night, Sept. 25th, is a corking good one. Arthur Boykin and his 10 "Delegates from Dixie" will head the bill. This is a complete musical show in itself. However, you will also find "Queen Dora, the Butterfly Girl" with her electric effects. She is making one of the biggest hits on our circuit, this season. Charles Anderson, who needs no introduction to Cleveland and who is considered one of the best yodlers behind the footlights, also appears on the opening bill. The feature photoplay for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, will be Vivlan Martin in "A Voice in the Dark." Mrs. H. Mason. E. 101st St., gave a reception for visitors, last week. Rev. J. L. E.

Wednesday evening, in the demonstrations and visitors to Mr. C. Cheatham's office, the music and of Thursday morning when the very few fairy girls were almost all in attendance. It was indeed one of O. F. orchard's best pat- pated. The grand march was led by Hon. E. H. Morris of Chicago G. M. and Mrs. J. E. Kied of the city. They were immediately followed by various bodies and individuals in pairs. Delegations of the Boston patriarchal regiment, led by Capt. J. H. Waters, were navy blue uniforms set off by broad var- colored goshes Maj. J. W. Hardie of Fort Worth, Tex., led his or organization in a khaki-colored uniform. One of the many Odd Fellow organizations which appeared in white uniforms was that of the townville patriarchal regiment, led by Col. Judge Clark. The balloons were filled with spectators. Thursday was "Field day" and some day it proved to be, the only bad feature being that most of the exercises that day, were held at Color-Line Luna park because the management said they had no other place to go. This is most positively no good excuse! There were and are other places to go and they must be used! We cannot retain our self and respect and patronize that place. Then, too, we should not PAY that park's management, or any other, tor so grossly insulting us and denying us our civil rights all year round. Maneuvers of prize drill teams featured the afternoon's program. The drill began at 2:30 and ended at 8, when the winners were announced. In favor to the visiting teams none from Cleveland took part. First prize in the Old Fellow's competition went to the winner of D team of regiment No. 42; second prize was awarded to the team of Pittsburg, regiment No. 3 and third prize to the Pittsburg North Side regiment. No. 11 Eight teams competed. The parade, which proved a most spectacular one, proceeded the prized drills and made a tremendous favorable impression on the entire community. Between two, and three thousand were in line and three bands. In the competition of teams of the Household of Ruth that of the Chicago Drill corps won first prize, and that of Washington. Second. Third prize was divided between Washington and Philadelphia. A street carnival and dance in E. 10th St. near Central Ave. was the evening attraction. Friday came the election of grand officers. There was little change in those of both male and female branches of the order Goo A. Pew of South Carolina being elected director to succeed, C. C. Johnson of the same state. The next place of meeting, in 1924, will be Pittsburg. B. M. C. business sessions were held in St. John's A. M. E. church, the Grand Household of Ruth meeting in Triidstone Baptist church. Prominent members of the order addressed both meetings and their sessions were very successful in point of good work done. "Smith Made : Brave Fight." Hon. Harry Clay Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, is a good fighter and a good loser. He ran in the Ohio primaries as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, and made a very creditable showing in the voting, beating THREE of the other eight candidates. There were nine, all white excepting Mr. Smith. That would show that the primary is a good democratic institution in which when honestly conducted, the best man should win without boss dictation. Mr. Smith says, in a signed edificial, that some of the candidates spent too large sums of money and that the votes in the two largest counties. Hamilton and Cuyahoga and two others were "manipulated" against him and other candidates—Nortolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. The editor of The Gazette spent Saturday and Sunday in Detroit. Lonnie Curtis, E. 31st St., who has been suffering for nine weeks with blood-poisoning in a hand, is slowly convalescing. Dr. E. E. Underwood, of Frankfort, Ky., an old Cleveland and Gazette alumnus, who attended the B. M. C., was among the many callers at The Gazette office, last and this week. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Daily Attendance Cut to Twenty-five Pupils Led By Their Civil Rights Protective League Our People of Springfield are Making Splendid Progress More Power to Them! The Gazette being the expulsion from the Garfield and Junior High School of those of our children residing in or under the Fulton School district. In this desperate effort to break the boycott children residing in the Garfield district as well as others who had garrow admission there were directed to Fulton School in this he was again defeated as chose and efficient picketing of our devoted women not only prevented everyone of these expelled children from entering Fulton School, but still further reduced the attendance there to twenty-five. The organization of pickets is being made more perfect and effective every day. An abandoned church across from the school building has been rented for a headquarters, where some one will be found on duty constantly during school hours. A flurry was occasioned by the report that our children from other schools would be brought to Fulton School in a school truck. In a desperate effort to establish a "jim crow" school there. Nothing developed of it, last week, although rumor persists that it will be attempted, next week. Continuing their campaign of education along race locality lines, the Civil Rights Protective League secured Rev J. S. Jackson of Columbus for an address at their regular Etiday night meeting at Mr Zion Baptist church, last week. A with previous meetings, the "S. K. O" sign was displayed long before time for the meeting to begin. Notwithstanding, many stood on the outside during the whole evening hoping to hear a part at least of what was being said. Never before have the people been brought as by this attempt to effect for complete submission, by placing the education of our children upon a "jim crow" fact. Remarks in Dr. Ch. L. Johnson and Atty Gio. W. Daniels told of the progress being made and of the necessity of our people standing firm in their opposition to the iniquitous "jim crow" school. Mr. Daniels spooned of the progress in the preparation for legal action in case the superintendent fails to carry out his threat to force our children into his illegal school. Rev. Jackson's address was an exposition of logic as he demolished the "stock", arguments of those persons, both black and white, who argue for separate schools for colored and white children. Having been stationed as a pastor in this city, Rev J. S. Jackson began his address by referring to it as the best go-to city in America and asking "what is the matter with Springfield that she now wants to establish a separate school for our children?" Stating that such a proposition is not only consistent in a democracy but away from the trend of the times when is toward a better understanding and relations between nations and groups, instead of hatred, suspicions and misunderstandings. To the claim of inherent inferiority, the speaker showed that it was not only false but if true, was a much greater reason that they should not fear to give the Afro-American an equal chance. To those members of the race who prefer separate schools because they "feel better to themselves," the speaker said that it was time that people were governed by reason and not by their feelings; that civilization, progress and culture were the results of reason, and not a blind following of feelings. That the acceptance of "jim crow" schools because they would "feel better to themselves" would be followed by "jim crow" street-cars, "jim crow" parks and a lot of other "jim crow" things that would work to Afro-Americans' economical and intellectual injury. Commenting on the separate school in Columbus, the speaker said that it is reported that the school there is short of equipment, the school board never having money for the relief of that school, although all other schools are fully equipped. He also spoke of the lowering of the standards because our teachers there are not required to attend the EAGLE GLE COPY FIVE CENTS HT! Crow" Schools! Cut to Twenty-five Pupils Protective League Our People king Splendid Progress wer to Them! but have difficulties and some of them are unable to attend them. Again the separate schools are contradictory to the claims of Christian brotherhood. Particular emphasis was laid upon the fact that the law abolishing separate schools in Ohio was not the work of our men but of white men and that all we now ask is that white men respect the laws they have made thus doing justice and setting an example of respect for law. (The Ely-Arnett bill, abolishing separate schools in Ohio, was introduced and pushed through the State Assembly by Afro-Americans. Editor.) Closing as he had begun with an earnest exhortation for our people to stand together in this fight, Rev. Jackson pointed out the splendid effects the favorable outcome of the present fight would have on the welfare of future generations. Paraphrasing the well known couple of "Fee Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishmun," the speaker declared that in these separate school moves he smelled the blood of the Ku Klux Klan, and that Supt. McCord, if not a member of the order, was in sympathy with it. At the conclusion of Rev Jackson's address, a collection of $106.20 was taken for the Campaign Fund. The fact that up to date nearly $600 has been collected is evidence of the remarkable interest of the people and their willingness to give to a movement for the defense of their rights. Much credit for this is due to the enthusiasm created by the speakers brought here for this campaign. We forgot to say, in our last letter, that the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, came to us, Sept. S. without charge saying that his heart was with us in this fight and that he would do all he could to help us without charge. His contribution (cash) was the first to be placed on the table when $247.60 was raised at that meeting. Atry Sully James, who just returned from an extended vacation, also addressed the meeting and pledged his support and cooperation in the movement. As an indication of the growing interest in the campaign, the following resolutions were received from Antonio Bailey Post. No. 125, American Legion: Whereas, We, as ex-soldiers of Springfield and Clark County, have associated ourselves together and maintained a post of the American Legion known as the Antonio Bailey Post, No. 125. Whereas, in spirit and purpose we represent nearly 800 Afro-American ex-service men in this city and county, who participated in the great World War to perpetuate the ideals of democracy, and Whereas, we stand for the combat of autocracy of the classes and masses, and the maintenance of law and order, and Whereas, we desire to safeguard and transmit to our posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy, and Whereas, there seems to be an ominous silence on the part of the white citizens, who claim to stand for justice, law, and order. Therefore, Be It. Resolved that we sincerely regret and denounce the autocratic and undemocratic attitude and actions of our present school superintendent, George E. McCord, toward our tax-payers of this community: 1st. Because a state law and constitutional amendment is being broken in spirit and action by the school superintendent. 2d. Because he is attempting to deny our children equal privileges in a public school system, which we pay a proportionate share to maintain. 3rd. Because the illegal "jim crow" school in the Fulton district is greatly engendering bitter racial hatred which may result at any time in a serious racial clash in this city. 4th. Because the school superintendent's duty is to teach and not solve race-problems. And Be It Further Resolved that this post go on record as opposed to any further financial relief and building expansion of the present school board until a fair and conciliatory attitude be evidenced and Geo. E. McCord is eliminated from the present system. And Be It Further Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be filed. (Continued on Page 2) fe ae : oe & . = Se.

The seven men concerned were members of the Sanitary Drivers' Union which went on strike, July 1.

Their headquarters was at the Saunders' House, presided over by Mrs. P. Rivers, who proved to be wide-awake to the interests of her guests. The house was the mecca for many of the delegates and they were warmly greeted by Col. John W. Anderson and Major Paul Claxton of Pittsburg, Col. A. F. Crockett and Major R. B. Moseby of Washington, Pa. Col. Anderson's speech in placing Pittsburg in nomination for the next place of meeting was a gem and caused 900 of 1200 delegates to vote for that city in preference to St. Louis, Baltimore, Indianapolis and Atlantic City, Col. Anderson and party of four spent Sunday in Detroit and returned here to spend this week at the Saunders' House.

Negroes from the South and a Negro "grafter" or two who want to teach or make a little "tainted" money are trying to help prejudiced white people of Springfield to "put over" a "jim crow" public school. That this would be contrary to Ohio law does not seem to estop them any more than it did the same miserable bus and other southern Ohio cities and towns. There are some Negroes, like the Color-Line Luna Park Negroes in Cleveland, who seem to prefer to be "jim crow," insulted, discriminated against, etc., etc., because as some of them say "we are used to it down home" (in the South). Well, those of our people in Ohio who do not approve of any such backward movements, including the Luna Park discrimination their favor (and we helped to make it) and can stop it all if they wish to do so. Springfield Afro-Americans are determined to do it and success will surely crown their efforts. The League of Nations, "League of Notions," "Plague of Nations," or whatever you may prefer to term the organization, has begun to disintegrate or crumble. Peru and Bolivia have withdrawn from it in a fit of pique as did Argentina early in its career and now Nicaragua threatens to do likewise. This is not very encouraging to Ex-Gov. James M. Cox and Associate U. S. Justice John H. Clarke, leading Democrats, who would tole this country into the spineless League. England's premier, Lloyd George, has dominated the organization ever since its inception and would be greatly pleased to see the United States a member so he could "lord it over this country, too. The Republican policy of remaining out of the League to which the Harding administration has chosen to instruct by the people of this country on election day, two years ago in November, is the wisest and best and should be retained. We cannot help feeling that Cox and Clarke's activity in behalf of the League and their strenuous efforts to make the people of this country change their minds and insist upon this country's entering the "Plague of Nations" is being prompted by the English and their American "allies."

Ask League For New African Nation GENEVA, Switzerland — A delegation representing the U. N. I.

It was requested that we be allowed that the British empire, having badly administered the former German Southwest Africa, it would be a proper mandate. This is the territory where British forces dropped air bombs on Bondel's Hottentots in order to get the best of an argument which started over a dog tax. MAYOR FRED KOHLER Tuesday's morning Plain Dealer quotes Mayor Fred Kohler as saying, Monday morning, in his address of welcome at the opening session of the B. M. C. in Haltnorth's thunder, B. 55th St. and Woodland Ave. "No mayor of Cleveland has been more fair to your race than I. When I was chief of police I appointed Charles S. Smith, my secretary. I was the first chief of police, so far as I know, to do this. And when I became mayor that man became the secretary of Safety Director T. C. Mayor Kohler is in error when he says he was the first chief to appoint Charles S. Smith his secretary. Chief Corner was the first to do this. Mayor Robert E. McKisson appointed Charlie a patrolman (so he could become secretary) at the request of the editor of The Gazette and in the fulfillment of a promise he had made the writer fully a year before. This was about twenty-five years ago. What the mayor (Kohler) did to the president's re-appointment as secretary of Mr. Smith and for the latter's advancement to the three positions he now holds—secretary to the chief and secretary of the Police and Fire Departments of the city and Director Martinee's sectary. Whether at any advance in salary, we are unable to say at this time. But we think not. Chief Frank W. Smith, who succeeded Chief Graul under Director Martinee, did get Charlie an increase, practically the first he had received since he was appointed a member of the local police force. More than twenty-five years later, more than twenty-five years ago. Just what Mayor Kohler had reference to when he no longer of Cleveland has been fairer to our people than he, is a question because there are several of them in the last decade or so who have appointed more Afro-Americans to good positions than he has and in other ways have suppressed him in the police force. More than twenty-five years did so outstanding and welcome an act as he did when soon after taking office in January he "chased to the office" that Maschke-"Starlight" Boyd-Tom Fleming crowd of city job-holders who were so active in the campaign in ward 11, last fall, in thwarting the will of the good people there when they were struggling with might and main to throw off the galling yoke they had for nearly six years been staggering and FitzGerald's administrations). That, Mr. Mayor, according to the best judgment of the great mass of decent Afro-Americans of this city, was your master-stroke as far as they are concerned. When you have given them at least a few good appointments (not jobs) along with the good work you regard as being "fair" all will be in a position to better appreciate you and whatever you have done for them.

Wonderful Meeting Our People Will Never Submit—They Will Win—More Power to Them. (Reprinted from our last issue.) (Reprinted from our last issue. Springfield, O.—One thousand people crowded Wiley M. E. church last week Friday evening, and overflowed into the street in an effort to hear the Hon. Harry C. Smith editor of The Cleveland Gazette and a candidate at the recent primaries for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio. Mr Smith was brought here by the Civil Rights Protective League as a part of its campaign against the attempt of the superintendent of the local public schools, and the subservient male member of the Board of Education of the protesting Afro-American citizen of Springfield the infamous, illegal and un-American "jim crow" school-system. As an indication of the intensity of the feeling of the people over this "jim crow" effort to pollute this well-spring of our democracy, the public school system, the church was filled by 7:30 p. m. by a crowd that remained until 10:33 p. m., notwithstanding the evening was very warm, hot. Hearty aplaeuse greeted the preliminary talks of Chas. L. Johnson, president of the League, and Atty. Geo. W. Daniels, as they explained the objects of the League and the progress being made in its fight for justice and right. As stated by Mr. Johnson the League not only proposes to prevent the establishment of an "all-colored" or "jim crow" school, but it will demand that the Afro-American teachers employ shall not be segregated in a building distributed among the different buildings in the city. Atty. Daniels' denunciation of two local Afro-Americans in particular, and others, who have given their assistance to this nefarious scheme, brought out the first hint of the enthusiasm that later on during Mr. Smith's address grew into a whirlwind. Particularly, generous the applause and laughter that greeted Atty. Daniels' sallies at the two "reverend" gentlemen who have spread "jim crow" school propaganda. When it was decided to have an out-of-town speaker, the Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, suggested by Mr. David Wilborn, was immediately and unanimously decided upon as being the only man in Ohio qualified by long service and ripe experience to fearlessly frankly and fully discuss and advise in matters affecting the civil rights of our people, and who could be depended upon to do so. It is needless to say that those who have known Mr. Smith for years and his fearless and aggressive attitude in all matters affecting his people were not disappointed. It matters not whether it was a passionate appeal for the people to stand together and sacrifice their time and money for the protection of their rights, or whether it was a bitter excoriation and denunciation of the black traitors who would sell the birthright of helpless children for a few paltry dollars, or jobs, the people answered Editor Smith with thunderous applause, the women waving their handkerchiefs and men throwing their hats in air. No such demonstration have ever been witnessed in this city. Mr. Smith was introduced by Arthur J. Riggs, a long-time friend. The speaker of the evening was emphatic in denouncing the "ill-colored school plan." "We have been held back in our progress because we have not learned the lesson of personal and financial sacrifice for our people," Mr. Smith said. "Until we learn that lesson we will continue to go back. Be willing to give your time and money. Don't get discouraged. Stand together when the principle is right until the heavens fall. Don't tire out." Talking directly about the school problem here Mr. Smith said: "It is vastly more important that your boys and girls be educated with the white children than it is to have a million colored teachers in the schools." This brought a whirlwind of applause. Pointed remarks were directed against citizens of color who have apparently approved the Fulton school shame. "For every mother's son of color who gets in your way," Mr. Smith said, "have this slogan, 'out of office' or 'out of town.' The law in Ohio is with you in this fight. In each and every case where there is a 'jim crow' school in this state it has been established with the consent of our people. In towns with 'jim crow' schools the prejudice is five times stronger. Your fight is for your children." As Editor Smith proceeded with his speech of one hour and a half the enthusiasm of the large audience grew and the demonstrations multiplied until, as we have already said, no such sight was ever before witnessed in Springfield. It was indeed a wonderful meeting. At its conclusion every one who could get to him, grasped Mr. Smith's hand and thanked him for coming so far and so promptly to their assistance and support. It will not soon be forgotten. Then followed the call for financial assistance for the League and the fight, and $247.66 was quickly contributed to add to the funds already in hand. On his arrival in the city, late last Friday afternoon, Mr. Smith was met at the depot by a committee which included Messy M. Las. L. Johnson president of the Queague Chan. W. Greene, Wm. H en r y Yong, David Wilborn, old friends of the editor, and Atty. Daniels. He dined at Mr. Wilborn's residence, stopped over night at the Montgomery hotel, and breakfasted with Mr. Young, Mr. Johnson's fine Hudson car was much in evidence. Mr. Johnson is an aggressively loyal member of the race. This can be said, also, of all members of the League. That the public may be properly informed as to the facts it is our intention to give through the columns of The Gazette a brief sketch of the events leading up to the present situation. How the legitimate and proper design of the events presented in the educational department of our city government is being taken advantage of, with the aid and connivance of self-seeking Negroes, to foist a "jim crow" school-system upon us. How THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, Q., SEPTEMBER 23, 1922. Sup't. McCord has persistently refused to appoint our girls, who have qualified under the laws of the state of Ohio and the rules of the Springfield Board of Education under a democratic basis, even going so far in one case as to notify the applicant that it was impossible to appoint her as a teacher because we had no colored school. The first move was made two years ago when three women, two of whom had daughters who wanted teacher positions, circulated petitions "for separate schools with colored teachers." About 200 persons signed this petition, some of whom afterward withdrew their names when they realized the full import of the petition. When this petition was presented to the Board of Education it was opposed by a conter-petition of approximately 1,200 signers. In the face of this overwhelming opposition, the Board laid the matter in question, done for, especially the superintendent assured the committee in charge of the protest that they would be notified in case of any further action. Supposing the matter was settled, there was consternation when rumors began to appear that it was the superintendent of schools' intention to make Fulton School a separate school with a principal and teachers, all colored. This rumor was verified when Sup't, McCord, in submitting his list of teachers for the ensuing year, sent in the names of a principal and teachers, all colored, with the explanation that it was his intention to make Fulton School "an all-colored school," by removing the white pupils from it and sending them to other schools. Once more our self and race respecting citizens opposed the proposition with a petition, approximately as large as the first 1,200. But the temptation of the public characteristic Sup't. McCord and his 3 order-taking male members of the Board, the program was adopted, the two women members voting no. With a cowardice characteristic of thos s who conceive and bargain to betray the rights of their people, none of the black ingrates, traitors, now admit their responsibility for this attempt to debase the manhood and womenhood of our race by placing our children's education here in Springfield on a "jim crow" basis. Notwithstanding their silence and in some cases open denial, it is inconceivable that an attempt would be made to impose such an insulting and illegal power would rights of our people, secured as a result of the efforts of our forefathers, be set at naught. To carry on this opposition or fight the Civil Rights Protective League was organized with the following officers: Pres., Chas. L. Johnson; vice-pres., Chas. W. Johnson; sec., Mrs. Mamie Clark; treas., Jas. W. Leigh; atty., Geo. Daniels. Words were immediately raised in favour of the case to the supreme court of the state, if necessary, and educate the public to the menace to their liberties should this nefarious KluK Klan scheme prevail. Meetings are held, every Friday evening, at M. Zion Baptist church on S. Yellow springs St. Too much praise can- 75 enthusiastic and earnest workers who have been on the job every time the school has been opened and who patrol the streets and alleyways surrounding the school with banners, containing slogans and remarks concerning the "jim crow" school and asking parents not to send their children if they do not want such a school. So often a normal enrollment of about 400 pupils the attendance has dropped to 40 with a good prospect of closing the school. On account of the arrogant and unsympathetic attitude of the principal and teachers, most of whom were imported from the South, some of the banners have remarks directed at the teachers and the position they occupy in aiding in the establishment of a "jim crow" school. The leader and inspiration of this division of workers is Miss Ruth, daughter of Rev J. S. Jackson and sister-in-law of Dr. Clarence F. Keller, another art and enthusiastic worker. Never has the excitement so intense as at the present time, nor the willingness to give been so marked. At the present time nearly $400 have been collected. More concerning our fight will appear in the next issue of The Gazette, copies of which can be secured by notifying Arthur J. Riggs, David Wilborn, Chas. W. Green or Chas. L. Johnson. PROTESTS "ALL-COLORED" SCHOOL. Editor, Springfield (O.) Sun; Mr McCord's bluff has been called. He is quoted as saying that the truant officer has been instructed to file no charges against parents at present for keeping their children out of school. What a change from his first threat and scare that the truant officer had been instructed to do his duty! What are the duties of the truant officer? Many citizens and taxpayers are anxiously waiting to find out. Supit McCord knows why, because faring man though he be a fool, that there is no law to compel attendance at this illegal, segregated, "jim crow" institution which he calls the Fulton school. In keeping with his usual "rule or ruin" policy, Mr. McCord now rises to threaten to do another impossible, as well as illegal act, namely, to leave the colored children who have thus been insulted, confined to school and out schools at all unless they grim and bear this outrage, yield, surrender and turn the other cheek. His hirelings and henchmen whose bread is furnished by colored people, and buttered by them, too, are now busy spreading this propaganda among the "jim crowed" in the vain that they may all bow surrender to the dictates of Sunt. McCord The Civil Rights Protective League proposes not only to keep up its picketing, but to inaugurate other methods of proving to Mr. McCord that there are those here who will not sell their birthright for a mess of pottage or 30 pieces of silver and who will fight this attempt to re-ensalve us as long as there are letters enough left in the alphabet to spell the word FIGHT. There are scores in the league who know what "jim crow school" meant, Mr. McCord no doubt, for now, because he never been forced to attend one. This "watchful waiting" must end eventually; why not now? Or is Mr. McCord thinking up other empty threats to make, only to back down, when the time comes for doing things? Now, if Supt. McCord really has the interest of the youth at heart, he will see to it that they attend school; but, on the other hand, if it is his purpose to humiliate and cower the parents into submission, then he will continue to threaten to do what he knows in advance that he has neither authority nor courage to do. The Civil Rights Protective League believes in "a school system for all the children of all the people" and not in a "jim crow system" for the children of colored people. The Civil Rights Protective League will meet as usual, every Friday night, at Mt. Zion Baptist church. Yellow Springs and State streets. (Signed) CHAS. L. JOHNSON, Chairman. GEO. W. DANIELS. MRS. A.

The main building at Wil伯力塞尔 University built by Bishops Payne and Shorter in 1865, 57 years ago, burned down on last December By request of the executive board in session at Wil伯力塞尔, 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 D. 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 $300,000. It is to be a fireproof building, built of brick, stone, con- crete, steel and iron, including the cellar and roof. The extreme length is 213 1-2 feet, extreme width 165 1-2 feet, height 5 stories. The building contains offices for the Uni- versity executives, 26 class rooms for college students, including com- modious music and dance proje- ments dining hall, seating capacity 1,000 and auditorium, seating capa- city 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 next commencement. To finance this great enterprise is the biggest 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 and a million paid for. The building is now above first story and pressing hard in the second floor. Bishops 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 which has been by the bishop of the episcopal District, and we are neither daunted nor tired. We need the aid of the whole connection and need it 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 carried out by every man to control without responsibility 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 language. We beeg 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 Willberforce at the head of the column, 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. SEND US FIVE DOLLARS, TEN DOLLARS, TWENTY DOLLARS, FIFTY DOLLARS, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS, FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, or such amount as you have ability to contribute. Wilberforce, Ohio.

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.

If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county in which the lynching occurred; there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disuse such mob. (93 v 163 11.) law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading ed. representative of victim of lynching bury by mob trying to lynch another costs in tax levy. st member of mob. st another county. Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many 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 house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, excuses for reasons applicable alike all clear and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the ac commodities, and the 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 section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the per-gerived thereby to be recovered by the county court and in 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 only one of the many often as they should, but expect it to them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Misled by the foolishly manufactured outfit for the passage of the Beatty bill, a few months before 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: Arova Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The gazette Cleveland, O. M My dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city (here to send you under a separate course to you), the Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the Report of the Court of Appeals in the Purple Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. FORMan, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. 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 governed by others in their work as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours—George W. Blount. Values in Business. Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education all phases of education.
