Dayton, O.—If the sentiment of Ohio legionnaires has anything to do with it, southern states will have to back down in their refusal to grant charters to our soldiers in those states who wish to establish posts of the American Legion. The Ohio legion convention adopted the following resolution: "Whereas, in the preamble of our national constitution, we assert that one of our purposes in associating ourselves together is 'To combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy;" "Whereas, in some of the states in the Union, Colored ex-service men are not permitted either to join the existing posts or to form posts of the American Legion;" "Whereas, the patriotism of the Afro-American has always been beyond question, and the record of Colored soldiers in the great war was above reproach: "The it resolved, that this, the fourth annual convention of the American Legion of Ohio, instruct its delegates to the national convention in New Orleans to go on record as favoring an investigation by the national convention of this matter, and the granting of charters to groups of Colored ex-service men who desire to form Legion pests." The author of the resolution, J. A. Green, Lee-Carpenter Post, No. 225, this city, presented it from the floor after it had been ignored by the committee on resolutions and also the committee on Americanism. After a rather heated discussion the convention adopted it by an overwhelming majority. Several white comrades whose fathers had fought on the Union side in the War of the Rebellion spoke fearlessly and strong favoring the resolution and condemning the policy of the southern states' legions in refusing our ex-service men charters. --- Chicago, IL.—Armed with cudgels of documentary evidence, the George L. Giles post of the American Legion here has determined to help fight discrimination in the ranks of the legion as practiced by the state departments in the South, particularly Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The first determined assault upon the hitherto adamant-the stand of race-hating southern ex-service men is to be made at the national convention of the American Legion soon to be held in New Orleans. George L. Giles post is made up of members of the famous "Fighting Eighth" and is commanded by Lieut. Earl B. Dickerson, prominent young attorney of the city, Lee-Carpenter Post of Dayton, O., will head the fight at New Orleans and have the backing of the Ohio and Illinois delegations. America's "Most Undemocratic Thing." Guardian Office, Boston, Mass., Oct. 14, '22. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Harry:—Again I say that Colored Ohio owes you a tremendous debt of gratitude for the strong Wm. Monroe Trotter fight you have started on the most undemocratic thing in America—"jim crow" schools. God give you all success! Dr. Adelbert M. Gibson, a graduate of Western Reserve University Dental department, has opened new and fully equipped dental offices at 4505 Woodland Ave. and we trust our readers will patronize him. If you want first-class work at reasonable rates, see Dr. Gibson. The Gazette takes pleasure in recommending him to its readers SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Opening Meeting of The Republican Campaign McCord and Copenhaver Must Go, Too—Enthusiasm Grows—More Determined Than Ever— Victory Assured! (Special to The Gazette.) SPRINGFIELD, O.—The regular Friday night meeting of the Civil Rights Protective League at Mr. Zoon Baptist church was attended by a crowd of enthusiastic eagles that filled the church. They too in spite of the fact that we do not have any out-of-town spaker, Short speeches were made by P. Clair, C. Johnson and Atty's Geo. W. Daniels and Sally Jaymes. Mr. Johnson's address was mainly devoted to an explanation of the relation of the fight against the "jim crow" school to the "Republican party of this county. He called attention to the indifferent attitude of the party organization, especially the arrogant and contemptuous position of the county chairman, W. E. Cophaver, father of H. C. Cophaver, a member of the Board of Education and one of its three male Republican members who voted for the "jim crow" Fulton school, all of whom should by all means be defended for reelection. We should not only see to it that no real white friend of the race in this county votes for Cophaver or any of his male colleagues. That is our DUTY to our children and ourselves. It necessary we should have the entire body stay at home and do not vote at all. The thing to do, however, is to strike hard and direct-vote against them! Atty, Daniels talked on the necessity of keeping up an unrelenting fight against those, people, especially Negroes, who are in sympathy with this, the most high-handed attempt to nullify the law guaranteeing the children of all citizens an equal opportunity to acquire an education. He also said that notwithstanding the outcome of the suit against the Board of Education, its male members should never again be allowed to occupy a position in the community that will give them an opportunity to shear and barter away the rights of dependent and helpless children. They must be defeated! Atty, Jaymes was particularly bitter in his arrangement of Principal Bullock and his corps of "jim crow" promoting school teachers. (Negroes) and asserted that their attitude made them particularly unwelcome in his community. The attempt to force the children of a white family into the Fulton school, mentioned in last week's Gazette, failed as ignobliously above all the enemy's previous efforts to break the boycott against the "jim crow" school. The spectacle of one of the highest-paid teachers in the school accompanying the truant officer in an attempt to round up some scholars would be pathetic if done in the pursuit of a worthy purpose. Even, the done in an effort to break the stranglehold our faithful pickets have on the success of Supt. Geo. McCord's "experiment," it was a sight to make a wooden Indian smile. This community has never been treated to such an exhibition of servility and selfish regard for the rights of others as is shown by these "critters." That any member of the race could be so thorily saturated with the social "theory," usually designated as "jim crowism," that they would not only accept it for themselves but would give their services to help fasten it upon other communities, is hardly believable. Surely no parent, desiring that their children should be unstanding, self-respecting citizens, would want to intrust their instruction to anyone with such will ingness to do the dirty work of "jim crowing" white man, as has these subservient Negro teachers. As has been stated, in a former better, they have forfeited the respect of every right-thinking person with the welfare of the Afro-American at heart. If their friends and advisers were wise they would urge them to leave this community and not strain longer the forbearance of a patient but determined people. "Jim crowism" has, already come too far in this city and there is no good reason why Negro "jim crowers" should be tolerated-longer in Springfield. An interesting side-light on Sun'tt McCord's consideration for our people was shown when it was disclosed that during the World War, when everything German was supposed to be driven from the schools, an unnaturalized citizen of that country was allowed to teach in the schools of this city. At the same time one of our girls, with two brothers (volunteers) on the firing IN UNION IS STRONG LE COPY FIVE CENTS Just Go! To Attend ing of The Republi- Campaign Must Go, Too—Enthusiasm Determined Than Ever— y Assured! line in France facing Germans, was refused a position as teacher when there was a shortage of teachers. It was only since the Government was able to hire the bon on the nationalization of colonies that this German teacher became a citizen of the U.S. and is now visiting relatives in Germany on a leave of absence. LORD. HAVE MERCY. After Sept. McCord and his Negro teachers had perfected their plans to "jim crow" the Fulton school, this young lady was offered a position which (to her credit) she refused. Jane one of the crow of "jim crow" teachers who are helping McCord in his attempt to campaigned and "designations," "experiment- and "all colored." also has two brothers who fought to make the world "safe for democracy." But she apparently has not the courage and self-respect to demand for herself the consideration due her by reason of her brothers' services to their country. As her brothers shared the dangers of war the same as other soldiers of this country, so should she have demanded the rewards of peace on the same basis as her brothers shared the dangers of war. No employment by the state should have been accepted that carried the stigma of inferiority and undeferability. Implied in the conditions of her employment at the Fulton "jim crow" school. X. Y. Z. Miss Jane Lee, who came from Louisville, Ky., with her parents to obtain an education in the mixed schools of Ohio and by her actions shows she is not in favor of any of our children here in Springfield getting the advantages she enjoyed in Ohio's schools, is past understanding. If she is so in favor of "jim crow" schools why does she (and her coworkers in the Fulton "jim crow" school) stay in this state? Why don't they go back to their separate school sections of the South? A slogan of the C. R. P League is that they must go! Last week, Sup't, McCord, apparently in an effort to show his "soreness" over the fight we are putting up against his "jim crow" Fulton school, assaulted one of our students for an alleged breach of some minor rule. It seems difficult for McCord to realize that he is in a fight to the finish with real MEN and WOMEN, and not cowards. The Republican campaign opening here, last week Thursday, with Thompson and Roosevelt as the principal speakers, and Hon. Chass Brand, candidate for Congress, presiding, was an eye-opener for local Republicans and their organization officials. The chairman of the county campaign committee sent out tickets galore to our Woman's Political League and Civil Rights Protective League members to occupy seats on the stage. Not one of our men or women accepted the tickets and not one of them appeared on the stage in a hall that seats 4,000 people. Only 1500 persons were in attendance and of that number only 35 were Afro-Americans. Republican Chairman Copenhaver told us, a few weeks ago, referring to our school fight, that white men were going to run this city. Well, they can "run it", but we are going to do some election day, next month, and when the votes have been counted. Copenhaver will be saying: "Well, who would have thought it?" By the way, according to the local daily papers, Monday, and current rumor, he has been asked to resign and his resignation is expected before election. "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly brings the news, not only to our people here, every week, but also to the leading white men and women of this community. The latter have been immeasurably benefitted by reading our side of the controversy as well as that of "the other side." That is how they are able to properly gauge Copenhaver, McCord, the "jim croy" school teachers, etc. etc. Arthur J. Rigg The P. W.

OCTOBER 21,1922 President Harding did an eminently sensible thing when he directed the dry navy to refrain from operating beyond the three-mile limit Over-zealous enforcement of a domestic law should not excuse infraction of a cardinal principle of international law. ANOTHER "BLOODY SUNDAY!" Eight witnesses were being held at police headquarters. Monday while a hunt was on for two men, the slayers in two Central Ave. murders. Sunday. The scenes of the crimes were only a few blocks apart. Mace Huff, age 24, 2364 Broadway, attempted to act a peacemaker in a quarrel over a card game at 3315 Central Ave. when he was shot down by one of the participants, police were told. The slayer a crippled man, witnesses said, then crowded the others in the party into a corner threatening to kill them all if anyone called for help. He escaped before police arrived. Two men and a woman are being held as witnesses. Henry Gresham, age 30, 3632 Longwood Ave., was stabbed to death in a quarrel over an assault in a rooming house at 345 Central Ave. Witnesses, five of whom are held, said that Gresham, when leaving took a coat belonging to another of the party. In the quarrel that followed he was stabbed, the assailant fleeing, Benjamin Henderson, 2341 E. 224 PL, was arrested and charged with murder, following the death of Mrs. Ella Jackson, age 24, address. It is charged that Henderson, angered because Mrs. Jackson, his landlady, would breakfast for him, hotel and Charles Penny, another houseman, several weeks ago. As the result of injuries suffered when he resisted arrest following a shooting near Central Ave. and E. 27th St, late Sunday, Mrs. Ervine, age 32, 2117 Central Ave. was unable to appear before Judge Stevens in municipal court. Monday, on charges of assault and battery and intoxication. It is alleged Ervine struck Patrolman Ohme when the latter was investigating the shooting, and it was necessary for Ohme to use his club. Thomas, W. Bird, chairman of the Investigating Committee of Ward 11 Central Body, informs a representative of The Gazette that there were no less than TEN murders and other crimes committed in the Scovill-Central Ave. district, last Saturday and Sunday, and his statement is practically confirmed by the police reports for those two days. In recent months, conditions in that section of the city have been steadily drifting back to the miserable and fearful state of affairs that existed during the reign of the FitzZerald-Maschke-"Starlight" Boyd-Councilman Tom Fleming days—for about five years prior to last January-"Speakeasies." "boot-leggers," "dope-sailers," prostitutes, gamblers, loafers, etc., are so numerous, and so openly and brazenly that it is not at all strange that here of late practically every Saturday and Sunday are almost as bloody days, with many crimes, as were last Saturday and Sunday. They yell, curse and swear, using the vilest language with the greatest impunity in the public highways at any time of the day or night, and in the hearing of women and children, too, and little or no effort is to stop them. It seems as if the police fear to say much if anything to them. Really, Mayor Kohler, the vile condition of affairs in wards 11 and 12, at this time, is such as to require your personal attention. Can't you do something, won't you do something to drive out of town the large number of criminals, prostitutes, "boot-leggers," "dope-sellers," gamblers, loafers and the parasites living on women that infest those two wards? The Gazette asks this in all kindness and not in a carping spirit because it recognizes the fact that you have done some good work in that vicinity since you took office, and willingly gives you credit for the same. Help the good and long-suffering people of those two wards, Mr. Mayor! CANCELATIONISTS FEAR PUBLIC VERDICT Although Democratic leaders are demanding that the United States take a direct and active part in European affairs and assume a larger burden of the costs of the war, they have thus far in the present campaign been careful not to state expressly the ultimate end of their policy—joining the league of nations and cancelation of debts due the United States. They dare not state specifically the purpose toward which their arguments inevitably lead. The candidates of the two great political parties stand today just where they stood in 1920. The Democrats favor going into the league and making what Woodrow Wilson called the "supreme sarifice." Republicans favor staying out of the league, minding our own business, conducting debt negotiations on a business basis, and leaving European political squabbles alone. Advocates of debt cancelation know there is no chance of success as long as the Republicans are in power, so they strive to distract attention by suggesting that collection of the debt be deferred until the question can be "taken out of politics." The suggestion that the debt question be taken out of politics indicates that the cancelationists are afraid of the public verdict. If there ever was a matter in which the people were deserving of a voice it is this one. Ten thousand million dollars of the taxpayers' money is now loaned to the nations of Europe, and it is of vital interest to those taxpayers to know whether they are going to be repaid or have got to pocket their loss. Let any candidate for Federal office seek election on a platform advocating cancellation of that huge sum, and he will be speedily informed how the country stands on the question. A candidate for President, for Congress, or for any other position of trust would be completely snowed under were he to ask every man, woman and child in his constituency to donate $100 to Europe. Yet that is exactly what the cancelation program means. If those debts are written off, additional taxes of $100, on the average, must be collected from every individual in the United States to retire the Liberty Bonds from the sale of which the money for the European loans was raised. The Republican Congress and the Executive branch are firm for repayment, and while they are in control of the government there will be no ten-year moratorium on the debts declared. If such a thing were to come about it would be equivalent to cancelation of the whole amount. During the ten years the internationalists would be left free to fill the country full of their insidious propaganda, and at the end of the period opposition to their schemes would have largely disappeared. It is apparent that the cancelationists used the recent bankers' convention as the starting point for a determined drive to realize their object. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and eternal vigilance will be necessary if the taxpayers' of this country are not to be saddled with a national debt twice what they ought in justice to be called upon to pay. KU KLUX KLAN DISOWNED. Resolution Adopted By Administrative Committee of Federal Council of the 'Churches, Sept. 29, 1922. NEW YORK CITY.—The Administrative Committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America records its strong conviction that the recent rise of organizations whose members are masked, oathbound and unknown, and whose activities have the effect of arresting religious prejudice and racial antipathies is fraught with grave consequences to the church and to society at large. Any organizations whose activities tend to set class against class or race against race is consistent neither with the ideals of the churches nor with true patriotism, however vigorous or sincere may be its professions of religion and Americanism "Evils of lawlessness and immorality, however serious, can never be remedied by secret, private and unauthorized action. They must be handled by the State and by the recognized forces of education. For groups of individuals wearing masks and concealing their identity to pass judgment on men and women and to carry out humiliating measures of their own devising, is imperative every principle of civilized government and underlines respect for the established agencies of law and order. Any body of men, unidentified and banded together to achieve in a partisan spirit the purposes of a sectional, political, racial or sectarian group, is almost certain to fall into the very evils of mob rule against which the spirit, of Christian democracy and Americanism makes vigorous and constant protest. Even if they resort to no unworthy deeds themselves, their practice of carrying on their plans in disguise or under cover of darkwise, and so affords the opportunity for all manner of lawlessness carried on with immunity from a rest or punishment. However true it is that in some communities religious organizations seek a control over municipal administration which is undemocratic and highly undesirable, yet for another body of men, secret and oathbound, to undertake to get control is equally intolerable, even if they seek with all sincerity to wrest it from the control of other groups. The Administrative Committee of the Federal Council of the Churches is on the agenda of any effort overrides the processes of law and order, and which tends to complicate and make nure difficult the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, Q., OCTOBER 21, 1922 PRIME SPORT NEWS Tigers Beat Tomahawks.

Paris, France.—Battling Siki, Senegal conqueror of Georges Carpentier, will meet Joe Beckett, English heavyweight, in a twenty-round battle for the heavyweight championship of Europe in London, Dec. 1. This was decided. Oct. 12, 22, when Mike Beckett, English promoter, obtained the signatures of Siki's manager and Siki to a contract under which Siki will receive £4,450 for his end of the purse. Siki returned to Paris from Holland, Sunday morning. The difficulties which had threatened to separate him and his manager had been smoothed over by an announcement that the French boxing federation was inaugurating an inquiry as to why Siki obtained only 75 points in his purse for fighting Carpentier, when the winner's end was advertised to be 200,000 francs. Siki is bubbling over with confidence in his ability to defeat Beckett and he appears to be in the pink of condition. He told the correspondent that he had turned over a new leaf and that hereafter he would eschew his erstwhile favorite tipple, absinthe. Siki is seven pounds heavier than when he met Carpentier three weeks ago. He weighs 180 pounds, and has decided henceforth to fight at this poundage. "Fritz" Pollard and Robeson "Fritz" Pollard and Robeson. Toledo, O., Oct. 12.—Two colored youths, Pollard, All-American back of Brown University, and Paul Robeson, former Rutgers and, and a of their All-American selection, threw a wrench into the workings of the Toledo Maroons here; the best that the locals could do be a 12-12 tie. The game, played before a large early-season crowd, abounded in thrills, and the majority of these were furnished by the snaky runs of Pollard, the smashing defense of Robeson and his almost uncanny ability to get in the path of forward work of co-operation between the various political racial and religious groups in the Republic. No such moments have the right to speak in the name of Protestantism and the churches are urged to exert every influence to check their spread." FLOCKING TO THE GLOBE. Packed houses nightly is the condition at the Globe Theatre, these days, and there is certainly good reason for it. This week, the vaudeville acts are a "scream." If you want to be thorny pleased, if you want to laugh until your sides ache, if you want to hear excellent music, both instrumental and vocal, furnished by both male and female artists, of color, do not fail to get into the Globe before Monday. The comedians, singers, dancers and instrumentalists are all above the average and are "delivering" to the large and enthusiastic audiences. Manager Bob Davis is "certainly goin' some" as Bert Williams would say. Next week, opening Monday, the following bill is to be presented: "Jolly Saunders, Jugeling, Jester"; Lajoy & Lajoy, in "The Landlord & the Tenant"; Marjorie Cohen's Musical Comedy Co., in "The High Life Set." This company carries ten people, including a hey of dancing beauties, and comes to Cleveland very highly recommended by the theatrical managers of Baltimore, Washington and Pittsburg in whose houses it has shown recently. THE TEMPLE THEATER This is one theater that is kept clean, neat and orderly at all times. Centrally located, with fine programs, every week, it fills a long-felt want upon the part of amusement lovers of our people particularly. This week there are five vaudeville acts of exceptional merit, and there is variety of action, too. Plenty of singing and dancing by male and female comedians, and a bicycle act in which Mr. and Mrs. Wooden do wonderful stunts the equal of any. Then there is the usual great photoplay, something really first-class, too. Go in and see for yourself. You will be pleased greatly. Next week, "Bandana Days," a big New York review, 12 people; the McCarrens, who alone are a "show"; several other fine acts and a great photoplay make up the program. Be sure to go to The Temple, this and next week. The five greatest nations of Europe—Greece, Rome, France, England, Germany—were built up of all kinds of breeds. The same is true of Japan, ablest people of Asia. When people of different races marry, their enthusiasm for each other causes them to keep their weaknesses in the background and bring forward their strength. Hence the mongrel wins.—Arthur Brisbane. 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." —H. G. Wells. ```markdown ``` "The Mongrel Wins" RACE PREJUDICE! passes. Pollard, weighing a little over 150 pounds of muscle and sinew, presented a constant menace as he skirted the ends or wriggled through the lines time after time for substantial gains. He was the pivot of the Milwaukee backfield's attack and although a "marked man." A. H. seemed unstoppable. Pollard and Robeson presented an offensive and defensive that made them appear an entire team in themselves. While gameplay involved a great offensive game, Robeson displayed his Sensational snaring of passes and his smashing of plays directed toward his end of the line, proved nearly disastrous to Toledo. After the game, critics remarked that the role of Robeson, big, rangy, grilty and endearing, best exhibition ever given here. John T.

People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, his competition has desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "give awake." "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart.

All motorists on the Lancaster pike who reach Daylesford, Pa., a little village eighteen miles from Philadelphia, inquire for "the house that Hatton built." Hatton is a railroad employee, working in the lamp department at a small wage, but he has contrived during the last ten years to find money and time enough to build a splendid seventeen-room residence that is valued at $20,000, says the illustrated World Magazine. He has done every bit of the work with his own hands. He was the architect, stone mason, bricklayer, carpenter, roofer and plumber. He has had no training in any of these vocations, but this caused him no discouragement. He thought everything out himself, surmounted every difficulty as he came to it, and worked ten years in his meager spare time in order to finish it. Hatton bought the lot from the local school board about ten years ago and at once began to dig the foundation for his new residence. In digging, he came across a mass of slate rock and this he decided to test to see if it would make a sound building material. Combining it with sand and cement he found that the slate rock collected from his cellar excavation made a perfect wall. Mixing four carloads of sand with 357 barrels of cement and approximately twelve carloads of his slate rock, Hatton had a substance that made a dry noncrackable and everlasting concrete. With this material he built his walls. Coal dust and siftings procured from the coal heaps of the railroad on which he worked, together with cement, made a highly ornamental and satisfactory stucco material. All he had to do was to swish it on with a brush from a bucket. The interior Hatton finished in hard wood. The roof he has finished with asbestos shingles. One thing that bothered the amateur builder was the ornamental pillar work for the porches. Straight concreting was one thing, but ornamental work was another. He therefore called in a builder who gave him a price on the porch pillars he desired. It was too great, however, for his slender resources, so he decided he must again set his inventive genius at work. He made molds of cardboard of the shape he desired the pillars to be, and filled these molds with concrete. When the concrete had hardened he removed the cardboard and food, and filled precisely satisfactory pillars for his porch. Hutton has had several offers for his unique home, but he says he is going to keep the house and enjoy the result of his ten years of patient effort. TOO NATURAL The members of a certain golf club were recently getting tired of seeing the freckled face of a loyal uncle hanging over the hedge whenever they essayed a round on the links. Early and late, there was the same small boy apparently listening to everything that was sold, and making copious notes in a very primy pocketbook. The freckled face got on the players' nerves till at last the secretary was asked to endeavor to put an end to the nuisance. The official interviewed the boy's mother and lodged a complaint. "I can't see that Willie's doing any harm," said the lady. You haven't lost anything have you?" The secretary denied having suggested such a thing. "I sure I dunno what fun he gets out o' seein' a lot of old men knock a call about," continued the boy's mother, with some asperity. "He's never said a word about it at home, but I'll make inquiries and let you know." She called at the secretary's house next day in high dudgeon. "Ought to be ashamed o' yourselves, all the lot of you, too," she declared. "I've had a look at that pocketbook you was talkin' such a lot about. Disgraceful, that's what it is." "Disgraceful?" "Yes, disgraceful. Willie's been payin' at soldiers with the neighbors' children lately, and they've made him drill sequester." "Well?" asked the secretary. "It ain't well," snapped the lady. "Most o' your members have been helpin him play the part too natural. That pocketbook's full o' swear words."

Resorting to Petty Tactics Williams' Great Speech—White Friends Offer Help Bullock's Odious Position—Preparing for Winter "The Gazette's" Help Appreciated. (Special to The Gazette.) Springfield, O.—The sixth week of the fight against the "jim crow" Fulton school finds our people as unrelenting and determined as at the beginning. In the last two weeks, the attendance has not risen above fifteen while 512 was the total attendance, last year, of which 172 were white pupils. On the other hand, incidents are appearing which show the desperate situation of Supt. t. McCord and his School Board. In a vain effort to break our boycott and opposition, the assistant to the truant officer, Chas. Deam, reappeared in the district, last Wednesday, but was soon discovered and trailed to the house of one of our teachers after a stage of some forty-five minutes he retreated to Supt. t. McCord's office in the High School building. Monday morning, children of a poor family of white people appeared at Fulton school. This was undoubtedly a sequel to Deam's visit. These children had not been attending any school while waiting for the Fulton school controversy to be settled and are said by neighbors to be in an indigent condition. Nevertheless, new shoes and clothes suddenly appeared and a visit to the barber shop preceded their enthusiastic desire to attend Fulton school. That the family had been visited by Deam was charged by the pickets and virtually admitted by the woman and subsequent interview that a man from the school-board had talked to her children. She also stated that after being ordered by the policeman, on duty at the school, to send her children to school, she appealed to Supt. t. McCord to be allowed to send her children to Highland school where the other white children of that neighborhood are being sent by him, but was told that they must attend Fulton school. It is reported that these are the same children who had been previously turned away from Fulton school by Principal Bullock, who has shown a zeal trying to help establish "jim crowism" here that would be commendable and inspiring if directed to the elevation of his people instead of helping to establish a system that is responsible for the oppression, murder and the whole school that afflict our people in the South where "jim crow" reigns supreme and from whence he came to Springfield, at McCord's request. Indeed, the whole crew of "jim crow" school promoters appears to be well satisfied with the odious position they occupy. Usual Great Friday Night Meeting Owing to the great number expected, the High School auditorium was secured for last Friday night's meeting of the C. R. P. League which was addressed by Rev. C. S. Williams, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, Indianapolis, and for years a pastor in Ohio. Heralded as a great pulpit speaker, Dr. Williams fully sustained his reputation as was attested by the rounds of applause of the large crow that filled the main floor. Speaking of the Negro in the World War, he added that the war was good and fight for the flag, our children are too good to sit down in a "jim crow" school; that segregation is the greatest foe to our progress and a cause of much unpatriotic feeling. Referring to those who favor it because of the money that may come to some, he said that "segregation may mean dollars in your pocket but hell in your bosom." In communities where segregation obtains, laws are not executed with equity, particularly in America, and always to the disadvantage of the poor. Where a degree of real democracy and justice prevail, as in the North and there shall be no violation of our rights or immunities. The Negro only wants—to be taken for what he is—a or an American citizen. No more or less. The front rank of the War. As a result of that war the Negro has been changed. When he went to the War. under the slogan of making the world safe for democracy, he expected, when he returned, to no more segregation and to circumvent an even break in the public school system, equal rights and an equal chance." Referring to politics, he declared that the day has come when we should wear no party chains about our necks, or how down to any political god, but vote for principles and men. The day of the belly-crawling, hat-in-hand, lick-splitte and Uncle Tom type of leadership is past; that the leader of the future must not only have brains and heart, but also backbone. Declaring that "jim crow" schools should not have "jim crow" schools, he stated that we already have enough "jim crow" institutions in Ohio; that "jim crow" grade schools will be followed by "jim crow" High Schools and finally the doors of colleges will be closed against our youth and they limited to Negro schools. Our children should be schooled in America and Americanism, but not in "jim crow" schools, he said, and that, notwithstanding his profession as a minister, he would rather "have hell on an equality basis than heaven on servility and jim crowism." He added we have paid too much for our liberty to have it taken away by demagogues. At the close of the address a collection of $110.77 was taken. Atty. Sully E. Jaymes also spoke. Altogether, it was one of the best and most enthusiastic meetings the C. R. P. League has held. The Civic League's Encouragement The pickets are still on the march with the same firm determination they started with. Paid agents are going the rounds of the school district trying in vain to get our parents to send their children to that school. We are ever on the alert and make it so warm for them that they soon will hide their faces in shame. To show that we are gaining ground, The Title IX organization of white business men, has sent us word that it is with us and will do all in its power to help us win our fight for our constitutional rights. Our people are determined to bury that "jim crow" school in oblivion and in the future mothers will point with pride to the victory achieved by the Civil Rights Protective League of this city. McCord Growing Desperate Supt. McCord has resorted to another contemptible trick in order to continue his efforts to beat the injunction case which is to be heard in court on Oct. 21. The police department keeps an officer stationed around the Fulton district school, during school-hours, it is said, to see that the teachers in the "jim crow" school are not molested. But the officer left his police duty. Monday, long enough to get three children to attend school, this is the occasion of weakness on the part of McCord and his "jim crow" school supporters that all should note. The board sends after the teachers, every evening, and takes them to their homes in order to have them escape the pickets. The parents of the white children, in the school Monday, were waited on by some of the lady pickets and the latter were assured that the children would be withdrawn. The police are still trailing our leaders. They follow (in car) the committee and hold a little committee meeting last week, at headquarters. They want to stop our picketing the "jim crow" school. Getting Ready for Winter. We are preparing for the winter. Gas stoves are being installed at headquarters, women are getting rubber boots and they "swear by all the gods" that they are just as willing to die defending their rights in the rain and mud on Dibert Ave., as our boys in the trenches of France were "to make this country safe for democracy." Our pickets are increasing in number, new ones falling in line every day. A committee of ladies serve dinner, every Tuesday, to the public, and people come from far and near to get a real meal. Last week forty-one chickens were donated, with all the necessary adjuncts to a chicken-dinner. They cleared $41. "The Old Rellabe" Gazette is helping greatly in our fight. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor, is one of our foremost race men and wants to see us win our fight and we should have enough gratitude and pride in our system to subscribe for a paper that is telling our people all over the country what a real fight we are putting up here against "jim crow" schools. ```markdown ``` IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature not white, therefore they have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights to all. We must long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., OCTOBER 21, 1922 LIVING ON WEDDING FEE$ I used to wonder what the congregations thought we lived on. They knew that they never quite made up father's salary; but they never seemed to worry about it. He wasn't commercial enough to demand it, as they say ministers do in some places. He had a fixed belief that the Lord would provide somehow. But often the provision was so dilatory and so far from being up to specifications that we grumbled 'considerably over it. The only thing we really had firm faith in was mother's prayers. You see, the wedding fees in any parsonage, from time immemorial, have been turned over to the minister's wife. She has them in fee-simple. This is the one bit of extra money a minister's wife ever gets. We used to long for weddings. We wervently be lieved in matrimony. We would have encouraged it in every way possible. For those wedding fees bought us the only new garments we ever had. When we noted signs of interest in any young couple—coming with the leveled one to morning service was generally a pretty sure indication — we used to wait hopefully. Sometimes we heard of the engagement of some young couple outside the church, and we would race home to mother with the news and wonder wistfully if they would ask father to marry them. We would have made a grand publicity staff for him, if we had known what publicity meant. And if there seemed to be dull times in the marriage market, we goaded mother to her wedding prayers. Somehow we never placed much hope in father's prayers. We took them for granted. But mother was different. Her prayers were specific. She asked right out for things she needed, whereas father wandered about a good deal in his petitions, and used phrases that did not seem to mean anything particularly. But when affairs verged on the stringent in the home, we would snuggle up to mother and whisper: "Pray for a wedding, mother." And mother prayed for the wedding, and it frequently came. So we had strong faith in her prayers. She never tried to fool herself about those prayers. She knew she was praying for material comforts for her family, and she told the Lord so right out plain. It convinced me that we got better results when we acted square with the Lord and did not attempt to deceive Him with specious motives.—Harper's Magazine. SEEK CHANGES IN FISH LAWS Especially Those Governing Herring and Halibut The halibut and herring fisheries are very closely related, for the reason that the herring is necessary to bait the books which catch the halibut, and accordingly when the herring are fished out or scare for any other reason, the halibut catch falls off. For this reason efforts are being made to bring about a repeal, or at least a modification, of the government laws which prevent the taking of herring in nets. The herring are taken in the summer and must be kept on ice for use in the halibut season, which is in the winter. The latter cannot be artificially propagated; . . . salmon can, because halibut deposits their eggs on the ocean bottom. Hence man has not yet found a way to rob them and incubate the eggs. For this reason, if harvested too freely, the supply may some day run out for a time. On this account, steps are to be taken en to protect the fish by a closed season. Legislation will probably provide an ocean sanctuary, covering what has been determined to be the breeding grounds, in the Pacific northwest. WHAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT DOES The average man knows little about the State Department, but his ignorance is not so reprehensible if we look at the matter from his point of view. He never deals with the department himself, and, unless he lives at a seaport where there is direct foreign intercourse, he sees nothing to remind him of American interests abroad. He takes the executive government at Washington for granted and does not concern himself with the question of how it operates. Yet the regular business of the State Department is extensive and important. I make no apology for telling what a few of the duties are. It manages the consular service, and the map of the world is dotted with American consuls. The service numbers more than twelve hundred people—two hundred and eighty-nine principal officers, three times as manvice-consuls and consular agents, besides clerks, consular assistants, interpreters, and student interpreters. The American consular service is the largest in the world and second to none in efficiency. Before the reform measures of 1906 put it upon a permanent merit basis it was an inferior service. There were a few men of a high order of ability in it, but the average was low, for the consuls were appointed at the instance of politicians and politicians chose their friends and henchmen. The State Department used to try to train them, but they were dismissed before they were trained, and some of them were not trainable. Happily, these conditions have passed; now active young men are selected for the consular service after they have passed a severe examination; the tenure of office is reasonably certain, and promotions come if the record is good. It is not an easy thing to be a good consul. The responsibilities are heavy and the duties are multifarious. The State Department has prescribed the regu- lutations which invade the consuls and has printed them in a handbook which is divided into some three thousand paragraphs. Some of these paragraphs apply to all consuls, and all or them apply to some consuls. When a consul blunders, or is ignorant or negligent, the State Department corrects him, teaches him, or reprimands him. Sometimes it recalls him, for there are many temptations in a consul's path, and occasionally one stumbles and falls. The correspondence with the consuls is large in volume and varied in character. It embraces every subject imaginable, from a consul's personal debts to the system of drainage used in his district. To manage the service requires a wide range of knowledge. Everywhere in the world there are Americans and American interests, and everywhere there are consuls to protect them, actize under the supervision of the State Department. The management of the diplomatic service is not so varied a task as the management of the consuls, for there are only about two hundred American diplomats, and they are concentrated at the capitals. Moreover, their duties are not so diverse as those of the consuls, although at times they are of greater importance. In normal times—if times ever are normal—diplomatic agents can lead agreeable lives. Of course, the State Department is always watching them, as it also watches the consuls, and it criticises them without regard to their feelings. It lies in wait for blunders, and pounces upon them, and, as a consequence a diplomat or consul who has not got a grievance against his home government is a rarity. Our diplomatic service is not as excellent as our consular service. Secretaries of Embassy and Legation are appointed, as the consuls are, after a hard examination; but they cannot expect promotion beyond the lower grades, so the best talent does not seek admission to a career which offers poor prospects of advancement. It is not strange, therefore, that some of the class who accept Edmond About's definition of diplomacy and think it is "the art of tying one's cravat."—Gallard Hunt in Harper's Magazine Wanted Them Bad. A provision house, which prides itself on filling orders accurately, received a letter from a provincial customer recently, complaining bitterly that the last order of eggs supplied had been very poor. The reputation of the house for never making an error seemed to be at stake, but the bright mind of the junior partner found a way out of it. He wrote: "Gentlemen: We are sorry to hear that our consignment did not suit you, there was, however, no mistake on our part. We have looked up your original order and find it reads as follows: 'Rush fifty boxes of eggs. We want them bad!' Not Any for Him A restaurant keeper hung out this sign: "Coffee: Such as Mother Used to Make." One morning a man entered the cafe, and as the waiter approached him he inquired, pointing to the sign: "Is your coffee really such as mother used to make?" "It is, sure!" replied the waiter, convincingly. "Then," said the man, with a reminiscent look, "give me a cup of tea."

John—"Yes, sir; but I had it weighted first, and as it was double weight I put another stamp on it." Merchant—"That's right. Once I hope you didn't put the extra stamp on so that it would obliterate the address." John—"Indeed, I didn't, sir. I just stuck it on top of the other stamp so as to save room." UNEARTH'S BIGGEST OF MOUNDS Temple in New Mexico Has 25 Rooms 1000. Feet of Walls. The most striking prehistoric ruin yet unearthed by archeologists in America has been found by Dr. J. Walker Fewkes of the Smithsonian institution, who has just made his report to the Interior Department. The mound, the largest of any thus far found, was in Mesa Verde National Park in New Mexico, and apparently was built for religious rites and ceremonials. It has been named Sun Temple. There are twenty-five rooms, and the walls, which total more than 1000 feet in length, average four feet thick. Cedar and pinyon trees growing above the mound would indicate that the mound was built about 1300 A. D. CAN SEE STARS, HE ASSERTS Scientist Advances Theory at Meeting of Astronomers. The theory advanced at a meeting of the Society for Practical Astronomy, a national organization, by Henry C. Maine, a Rochester (N. Y.) scientist, that stars themselves and not disembodied light, are seen by observers created a sensation. The theory is contrary to the generally accepted one that it often takes light from the stars many years to reach the earth and that perhaps before it reaches the earth the star from which it came has been put out of existence. Exploration has proved a long maintained theory that Finnish Lapland contains vast deposits of the highest grade of iron ore, equal, if not superior, to the best Swedish. SURPASSES FAMOUS "JEWELRY BOX" OF CRESSON MINE. Fabulous Vein Is Tapped in Vindicator's Virgin Territory—Millions in Sight. A gold discovery said to surpass anything ever known in Colorado has been made in the Vindicator mine at Cripple Creek. The far famed "Jewelry box" opened in the Cresson mine a year ago is said to pale into insignificance beside this new find. A complete new vein system has been tapped that is in virgin territory, and that may extend clear to the surface. Efforts are being made to suppress all facts as to the fabulous richness of this new ore, but mining men far millier with the situation say there are unquestionably many millions in sight. A fabulously rich vein, entirely new to the property, a few weeks ago was opened in a chance prospecting cross-cut run from the sixteenth level. The importance of the new find could not be realized until further development had been done, and the management has protected the strike from publicity since its magnitude began to be realized. Recent advances in the stock on the exchanges of the state have indicated to outsiders that something big was in foot and gradually the facts have been leaking out. Today there are those who speak knowingly of the find and do not hesitate to declare it the most important disclosure in the camp in years. Cripple Creek has scarcely needed this fresh stimulus to deep mining. The story of the Vindicator is being reflected in kind by all the new work being prospected in its great mines at depth. Everywhere the story is one of new ore bodies, increased values, reserves that guarantee heavy production for many years above the level of the Roosevelt drainage tunnel. The "jewelry box" of the Cresson was extraordinary in the concentration of values in its ores, but the Vindicator strike, in quantity and total worth, bids fair to far exceed it both in ultimate extraction and importance to the mining industry of the camp. Following the strike in the sixteenth level, developments to open the new vein were started in the fourteenth with a view to determining its possible extent. In the meantime the drift at the original discovery depth was being prosecuted, with the result that recently while the new work at the fourteenth was bearing fruit, the drift at the lower level was proving the new shoot a length of 400 feet and a width of from thirty to forty feet. Practically the entire vein filling is high grade ore. As broken the bulk or coarse ore is going to the chlorination mill, the screenings running above the milling limit and going to the smelters. Estimates of the contents of the new vein might be considered premature, but in the great vein system of the Vindicator past experience convince that a new vein of this richness and magnitude adds many millions to the worth of the property, and will provide an increased tonnage of high grade from the mine for many years. The strike of the new vein is such that it can be declared an entirely distinct discovery from anything herefore worked, and there is every reason to believe that it will hold its values and prove virgin territory practically to the surface. Developments so far possible all tend to support this belief. IT'S LARGEST DROP HAMMER World's Record Is Beaten by This Mechanical Wonder. The Chambersburg Engineering Company of Waynesboro, Pa., has eclipsed its own world's record in making the largest steam drop hammer in existence, or ever made. When all parts are assembled this latest record breaker tips the beam at 400,000 pounds, or 200 tons. It towers 26 feet 6 inches in height, or 20 feet 2 inches above the floor. This immense mechanical wonder was shipped to a large eastern concern for the manufacturing of drop forging cranks for engines of abnormal size. It took three special freight cars to haul the eight pieces crated. The frames and the lower part of the hammer are constructed of open hearth cast steel, while the lower part of the cylinder is made of air furnace cast iron. The ram and anvil cap are composed of forged steel. The total weight of the anvil exceeds 330,000 pounds and the ram and piston rod aggregate eight tons. CHARACTER.

Leads the Country in Legislation Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another 6284.

An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a p. person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. The sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the property of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next kin. If there be no law of distribution the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283.

Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such person had acted with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case.

(93 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of the Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Obie Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 1294. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike in the case of use of food or color, the fall 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 section 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 people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O. Apr. 25, 1919. 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 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 will not 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. Values in Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education—in all phases of education. I believe, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the Negro, like the rest of mankind, must learn to work out more of his problems along business lines than he has in the past; he must learn as others have learned, that a great deal of the so-called race problems can and must be worked out at six per cent.
