THE INJUNCTION GRANTED!

"Thats" Every Afro-American Should Know
the Republican party is the only political agency yet established rough which the race has received any of its advantages; that while the failure of a competent and adequate program has been due to Democratic opposition and obstruction, yet all that the race enjoys and may expect, has only come through the active support and assistance of that party.
That
The Republican party is responsible for the enactment of all remedial legislation written on the statute books of the different states and the Nation establishing our rights and privileges, as well as responsible for the defeat of all the many forms of iniquitous measures proposed by the Democratic party in every session of Congress since the War of the Rebellion.
That
The Democratic party in its eight consecutive years of administration not only disrupted the economic and financial stability of our country, and hastened the debacle of industrial depression which now confronts the Nation, but openly and flagrantly insulted the race by the summary discharge of all our employees, with the exception of a few securely protected by the operation of civil service laws.
That
The Democratic party throughout its whole history has been and now is the open-sponsor for all the nefarious legislation arraying class against class.
That
The Democratic party urged and put into effect segregation in all its hideous forms in the Government service.
That
The Democratic party in power means the rule of the solid South and the enforcement through legislation of their unfair ideas concerning the inequality of the races.
The Democratic party's first act was to humiliate and insult our few office-holders, at Washington, D. C., by denying them the use of public wash-rooms, and rest-rooms which privileges they had been enjoying (and are justly entitled to) without hindrance for forty years, by placarding the walls with the signs "for white only," in furtherance of their ideas of fomenting ill-feeling between the races and impressing their ideas of inferiority.
That
One of the first acts of the Republican administration was to destroy these signs of humiliation and to insist that each government employee was the equal of the other.
That
The Democratic party in power means, segregation of our employees in the government service; segregation on all public utilities; segregation in schools; segregation in all places of amusement, instruction and recreation; and a general set-back of the race as a whole in its efforts at advancement and the attainment of equal rights and privileges.
That
The Republican party in power means the recognition of the claims of the race in its fight for equality before the law; as well as the enforcement of its claims for the equal enjoyment of all the privileges of an advanced citizenship.
That
The Republican party in power means the enactment and enforcement of legislation against lynching; against segregation; against the deprivation of all our rights as American citizens.
That
The Dyer Anti-lynching bill was introduced and sponsored and passed by a Republican House of Representatives, for which each Ohio member voted, and that most of them are candidates for re-election and should be whole-heartedly supported by every voter of the race.
That
The ONLY POSSIBLE way for this bill to become a law will be through a REPUBLICAN Senate.
Senator Willis in a speech at the opening of the Republican campaign in the city of Columbus, on August 22nd, ably stated the position of the party with reference thereto, stating that he personally favored the bill, that it was just and SHOULD be passed.
That
The Republican party and candidates in convention assembled embodied in their platform a plank unqualifiedly endorsing the measure and urged the immediate passage of the same.
That
Congressman Fess, now the Republican candidate for U. S. senator, as a member of the powerful rules committee of the House of Representatives, voted that THIS BILL should have precedence on the calendar so that it should be considered by the last Congress.
That
Colonel Carmi Thompson, the present candidate for Governor, is a candidate with a record in public office; that while Secretary of State of this commonwealth he established without precedent, the principle of adequate representation in the public service, by giving employment to four members of our race as clerks in responsible positions in his office. HE DESERVES and WILL RECEIVE the hearty support of EVERY voter, for through his election and that of the entire Republican ticket our interests will be most securely guaranteed.
These facts and conditions confronting you, it is the duty of each member of the race to see that the full vote of the race is given to the Republican ticket on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 1922.

KOSHETZ PRAMISES OUR MUSIC.
The Ukranian National Chorus and Hampton Singers Give a Fine Folk Song Concert
Hampton, Va.—Folk music of the east and west met on comparable terms, through the cooperation of Max Rabinoff of New York, when the wonderful Ukrainian National Chorus, dressed in gorgeous, active, peasant costume, and our Hampton Institute chorus and choir, recently sang in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, the famous folk songs of "Little Russia" and our religious folk songs or "spirituals" of the "Old South" before a warmly enthusiastic audience of over 2,000 representative citizens of both races. This matinee concert was given under the austries of our Musical Art Society of Hampton Institute, of which R. Nathaniel Dett is the conductor. The Ukrainian singers were enclosed again and again. They were greeted with sympathy and fervor by the $50 Hampton Institute students who sang to them, under the leadership of Paige I. Lancaster, four of our folk songs—"Ride our
Jesus," Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen." "Look Away in the Heaven" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Some of the Ukrainian singers declared that in all their travels through Germany, France and Belgium they had never heard such thrilling chorus-singing as that which was furnished to them by our Hampton Institute students. They fairly danced with joy behind the curtains, after the Hampton students sang for them our primitive and developed folk melodies. Alexander-Koshetz, the famous Cossack conductor-composer, after hearing our Hampton Institute choir of sixty voices singing "Listen to the Lambs" and "I'll Never Turn Back No More," two compositions, based on our folk motifs, written by R. Nathaniel Dett of Hampton Institute and interpreted under his conductorship, said:
"This composer's work is colossal in its significance of the cultural possibilities of Afro-Americans. On Prof. Dett's compositions on my programs and have my students study and interpret your folk music."
The Hampton Institute choir sang with effectiveness, as its first number, Harry T. Burleigh's "Deep River." The Musical Art Society announces that on Nov. 8, "Pagliacci" will be given by a New York company, in Ogden Hall.

SPRINGFIELD. O_When the news was received that a "Jim Crow" school was to be started in the Fulton school district, "christmas picked up" as a position of race names had been presented to the School Board against it, more than one singing the one with the names in its favor. Our citizens sure the school would not shut "the postponer" of Mrs. Forest Speaks. Mrs. Jane Lee and Mrs. John Collins that had two seniors

presented by Mr. Forest. Speaks opened the "jim crow school" our citizens immediately formulated plans to night the outrageous action of the School Board. The work up for a leader and the field was carefully" gone over "the focus being thrown on several men who were thought capable and willing to lead the army. That would strike the blow to such segregation in this city. The man fell upon the shoulders of Charles L. Johnson, and if he must be said that he has played the man's part over every stage of the city. For two weeks Mr. Johnson has looked us in the rain and flood, plucking Fellin district school with men and women who left their home responsibilities to serve. He is a man of well balanced mind and good judgment. He has impressed his strong personality in all the members of the civil society. But he believes that school him a leader. He is a man of splendid creative ability and experience and the agent of success. His leadership to date has been ideal with the school and its working conditions. Mr. Johnson has a splendid sample for this and coming generations, by performing his duty tirelessly and always with an eye-simile to upholding those whom he feels are being wronged by the shame-boss efforts to establish "jim crow" schools in this city. He has given of his money-time and effort boundlessly and to say that he is thoroughly appreciated by our people of Springfield does not near "tell the story". They love him! He has been "tried in fire" in this contest, and always found steadfast and true—a grand leader. May his kind multiply rapidly in every community of our people in this state and country.
The Republican State Executive Committee recently sent a man here to Springfield to investigate the political situation among our voters and learn their feeling toward the state ticket. The conditions were thoroughly explained to him and the chairman of the state committee was informed as to our position as the result of the "jim crow" school question, since it was a Republican school board, a Republican superintendent; Wm. Gopenhaver, Repub. cahirman of the Clark County Executive Committee, and his son, a member of the school board which voted the "jim crow" Fulton school, who have made us

Springfield, O.—After exhausting every method possible and being defeated at every turn by the alert and active workers and pickets of the Civil Rights Protective League Supt. of Schools McCord and the Board of Education were at last brought to bay. Monday, at the bar of justice. Fighting to the last with a zeal worthy of a nobler cause, every legal device was tried in an effort to escape the inevitable result of their lawless and arrogant attempt to stigmatize and humiliate our honest, patriotic and law-abiding citizens of Springfield, by introducing the debarring " Jim crow" Fulton district school. After taking exceptions to the League's position, on the grounds that they had not been properly served by being designated The Board of Education of City of Springfield, instead of the Board of Education of the City of Springfield School-District, the hearing set for Monday, Oct. 23, was postponed until, Friday, Oct. 27, when arguments were heard on the motion, and the ob-

After the hearing the Court proceeded for two hours. While the principal in the suit and their respective lawyers argued in a conference which beheld two points. It was then that Judge Frank W. Geigor received the temporary injunction. Thus became the first intimation of trusts of the seven workers' labor of the U. R. P. League's officers and members, especially the faithful women pickets. So effective has been their work in stimulating sentiment that the court room had every available space filled with an anxious crowd of our people who sent out for lunch that they might not miss any action that might be taken. Realizing that the present action is only temporary, the picketing will be continued with renewed vigor until normal conditions are restored. In keeping with the policy that has made the Civil Rights Proactive League the force it has been, the officers' call for a meeting in the evening at Mt Zion Baptist Church. Through announcement in the affirms so intense was and to the interest and enthusiasm that the church was called as at the regular meetings. The people were informed of the fact that the workers and officers after the meeting in school held until the four
Elected Moderator of Baptist Association
"At the 7th annual meeting of the Boston North Baptist Association, comprising the First Baptist church and Tremont Temple of Boston, and churches from Arlington, Cambridge, Lexington, West Newton, Waltham, Watertown Weston and Waverly, convening in the Myrtle St. church, West Newton, Rev Wm. W. Ryan, pastor, the Rev E. E. Thompson, pastor of Massachusetts Ave. church, Cambridge, was elected moderator. This is the first time that an Afro-American minister has thus been honored in the associations of greater Boston. In the closing sessions, Rev Thompson proved himself a capable presiding officer. He will deliver the principal address at the next annual meeting."
Rev Thompson is a native of this city, a product of our mixed public schools. Dennison College at Granville and Harvard University. His many friends here, who hold him in high esteem, will be to hear of his latest honor. His mother, Mrs. Emma Thompson, resides at 509 Dibert Ave. Rev Thompson gave up his charge at Dayton, a few years ago, and went east rather than have his children humiliated in a "jim crow" school started in that city.

Congratulations are in order: The Civil Rights Protective League and the rest of our people of Springfield this state, are really making a wonderfully successful fight. More power to them and their kind! Ohio law says that we shall have mixed public schools and that is exactly what we are going to have!
MORE DEMOCRATIC FRIVOLITY.
Democratic leaders tell us that the situation in Eastern Europe is due to the failure of the United States to do its part in the reconstruction of Europe. In other words, because we did not promptly cancel $10,000,000,000 of debt due us, we are responsible for the effort of the Turk to regain what he considers sacred land. Everybody who wants the United States to donate $10,-000,000,000 to Europe in the belief that it will subdue the Turk, please speak up.
SUPPORT THE STATE TICKET
In various cities of the state our people have had and are having more or less trouble with their local Republican leaders and know what they should do on election day without any suggestion from The Gazette. But whatever decision they may reach, ought not to be permitted to affect the state Republican ticket. It would not be fair either to those candidates, our people of the rest of the state, or the Republican party of Ohio.
"BOBBING UP" AGAIN
It looks as if the leading women followers of the "Starlight" Boyd-Tom Fleming Ward Eleven regime, of last fall, are trying to bob up into leadership, of something again, much to the disgust of many of our good men and women of that section of the city particularly. Last Sunday afternoon, at Cory M. E church, Mrs. Tom Fleming made an announcement of the intention to organize "Anti - Lynching Women Crusaders", in this city, at the Caters' Club, on Tuesday afternoon, of this week. An organization was affected there, at the time mentioned, with its official staff made up principally of the "followers" of the regime referred to. That ought to about "settle" the "Crusaders" in this community.
The candidacy of Judge Florence Allen for the supreme court gains friends all over the state. She appears not as a partisan candidate, but as an independent nominated by petition wholly without reference to the primary of either party. Her ability as a judge has been amply demonstrated on the common pleas bench of Cuyahoga county and the voters of the state will secure a capable, efficient judicial officer by her election. She is absolutely devoid of race or color prejudice and is friendly to our people. Electors who cast their votes for Miss Allen will be doing their state and their state's highest court a distinct favor. She is thoroughly qualified.
A TRUE NATIONALIST.
Premier Lloyd George was the last of the Big Four of the Versailles Peace Conference to pass into private life. He was preceded by Premiers Clemenceau and Sonnino and former President Wilson. He was the master strategist at that memorable meeting, and everything than Great Britain expected from the peace he obtained for her. Four-fifths of the former German colonies became British, over 20 per cent of the German reparations were accorded to Great Britain, the secret treaty with Japan for the disposition of Shantung was recognized, and British domination of the sea was admitted. Every obstacle that opposed itself to the Lloyd George plans was overcome by shrewd diplomacy and cunning bargains. Even the premier's enemies must admit that his conduct during the war and
after was first, last, and all the time for the interests of his country, something that cannot be said for the American leader during that trying period.
TWO MORE "BLOODY DAYS"
A woman was badly cut, Saturday evening, in the vicinity of E. 28th St. and Central Ave. On Sunday afternoon at E. 33d St. and Central Ave., brothers-in-law, the large one showing signs of having imbibed too freely of 'raisin-jack', had a fist-fight for half an hour, then left only to meet in the evening near the corner of East 21st St. and Central Ave., where they fought with knives until the smaller one all but cut to ribbons the larger one who died, Monday, in a local hospital. Sunday night, about midnight, near E. 28th St. and Central Ave., there was an imitation of the World War, so many shots being fired. All the criminals escaped, as far as we have been able to learn. These are not all either. And still there are those who insist that Ward 11 is 'a haven of refuge.' Yes, but for what kind? A foreigner ran down a woman of the race, Sunday afternoon, in Scovill Ave., and refused to take her to a hospital. An officer was compelled to take both to the police station. Why don't our ministers ask the mayor for more police for wards 11 and 12, especially Ward 11? He will grant the request if it is properly made, we feel sure.
ATTENTION CONFRERES!
A few weeks ago, we warned our contemporaries against the efforts of certain southern advertising agencies to take unfair advantage of them, calling attention to the way (sending too small checks with their advertisements) in which they were trying to do it, at that time. Last week, we received another letter from the same advertising agency, asking a number of favors (gratis), among which was the publication, free, one or more times, of a large advertisement of a well known chemical company which does perhaps more advertising in our newspapers than any other and which is said to be the wealthiest company advertising in them. While we are on this subject we wish also to say that never in all our more than forty years' experience in the newspaper business have so many requests for free space for articles (advertisements and others) been received as in recent months, with the exception of the period covered by the World War. Many of our contemporaries "bite" at these things, with the result that they find it difficult to get sufficient funds to meet their unduly increased weekly expenses and wonder why. Stop the suicidal practice, confreeres, and turn down flat the requests of the parasitical advertising agencies, referred to, and refuse free publication to nearly all, if not all, of the dozen and one communications received weekly, the publication of which should be paid for, and in advance, too. Protect your business!
SUPPORT THESE CANDIDATES
The Cleveland Bar Association is endeavoring this Fall to keep the collection of judges out of partisan politics and to do away with the unseemly spectacle in political campaigns, of candidates pounding away on the political stump and magnifying their own personal qualifications to audiences not acquainted with the eal state of facts. The Cleveland Automobile Club, The Civic League and the local executive committees of the Democratic and Republican parties have joined with the Bar Association in this movement and have endorsed for re-election, these judges: For judge of the Court of Appeals, John J. Sullivan; for judges of the Court of Common Pleas, Frederick P. Walther, Homer G. Powell and Maurice Bernon; for judge of the Court of Insolvency, George S. Addams. The lawyers of Cleveland are familiar with the work of the judges on the bench and they adopted a suggestion which was made by the Cleveland Foundation in its report of the survey of the administration of criminal justice in Cleveland, which suggestion was, that in order to retain the services of honest, capable, impartial and fearless judges, that they be required to run against their records. The Bar Association conducted a referendum vote among its members, the question being: "Shall these judges be retained in office?" and the above named were all endorsed for re-election by large majorities. We believe this movement to remove the courts of our county beyond the reach of partisan politics and to make ability the test for holding this office, is a meritorious one and we place our stamp of approval upon it. We recommend to our readers, that they vote for the list of candidates for judges that are named above.

Experienced employers of men and judges of human nature in business comment upon the fact that the man who conspicuously makes good as an officer amid the hard realities of the battlefield likewise makes good conspicuously in private life.
Judge Benson W. Hough, Republican candidate for re-election as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio, went to war in France as colonel. He returned a brigadier general.
He was elected in 1920 to serve two years on the Supreme Court bench or the unexpired term of Judge Donahue. His record in the year and eight months he has served on the Supreme Court bench shows he has made good conspicuously as one of the judges in Ohio's highest tribunal. The clarity of vision, keenness of judgment and insight into the facts which enabled him to make good as an officer on the field of battle enabled him to make good in the Supreme Court of Ohio. One of their highest judicial servants as well as he did in preserving American ideals and liberty in France. He should unquestionably be re-elected.
Judge Robert H. Day of Canton, judge of the Court of Common Pleas for the First Subdivision of the Ninth Judicial district, Republican candidate for judge of the Supreme Court, State of Ohio, has a remarkable record of legal and judicial experience and accomplishment, rare in most candidates.
If experience, training and making good on the bench indicates qualifications for membership of the Supreme Court bench of Ohio, Judge Day is unquestionably an ideal selection for that position and will give a judicial service to the people of Ohio which will safeguard their liberties and government.
Judge Day has been 31 years, a successful practicing attorney-at-law. He served six years as prosecuting attorney of Stark County. Notwithstanding that county is the sixth in population in Ohio, Judge Day filled the office of prosecuting attorney to oversee the work in any event, it shows Judge Day is not only a capable public official but a faithful and hard-working one who takes the charge of public trust seriously and makes good his duties through work.
As a common pleas judge he served 12 years with distinction. His exceptional ability as a judge so impressed the chief justices of the State Supreme Court that they assigned Judge Day to various courts in the state for hearing difficult cases. He has presided as judge in almost every county in Ohio and has heard from the bench cases tried in practically every important city in Ohio.
DANCED AT HOTEL ASTOR!
New York City.—Something is always happening to upset the smug assurances of race theorists that "It can't be done!" Twenty couples of our people were among the guests of the America's Making Carnival and Dance in the grand ball-room at Hotel Astor, 44th St. and Broadway, Oct. 27. Thirty-six racial and national groups were represented in an unprecedented and myth-destroying get-together. The program was a mixture of special entertainment and social dancing, chose of those people in attendance who danced there: Br. and Mrs. Wm. W. E. DuBois, Br. and Mrs. Jugene K. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Pace, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald F. Norman, Dr. and Mrs. George A. Kyle, Mr. and Mrs. James Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Elzy, Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Johnson, Mrs. Daisy Tapley, Mrs. Charles W. Joyce, Mrs. Ella B. Harrison, Misses Minnie Brown and Louise Lattmer.
GLOBE THEATER.
The exceptionally fine vaudeville acts and latest, biggest and best photo-plays, being shown each week at the Globe Theatre, is in a fair way to close other theaters in that vicinity, owing to the growing popularity of the Globe with the masses of our people in that section of the city. This week, just as we predicted in our last issue, the bill at the Globe is a corking good one and you are making a mistake if you do not see it. Next week, its headliners are the Prince and Princess of Mysteria, in an oriental act, which is one of the most expensive as well as most thrillingly interesting, on the stage this season. Manager Billy McGee has nothing too good for his patrons. That undoubtedly explains the securing of such acts as the one just mentioned and the Mondayaye and Darkfeather act, at the Globe, this week, both very high class attractions, wonderfully pleasing. The other four acts, for next week, are Mitchell and Wright, a very clever pair of singers and dancers; "Billy" Harris, who has possibly the finest singing and dancing act on the stage, today, and has only to be seen and heard to be so recognized; Pace, Thomas and Bruce, a very fast, smuggler trio, and dancing act on the stage, today, to be in a class all by himself. Princess Mysteria is going to give some amazing demonstrations of mind reading, next week, which will take you off your feet.

SEND CROSSER BACK, SAYS
LABOR'S EDITOR
Former Congressman Pays a High Compliment to Crosser's Ability.
Former Congressman Edward Keating, of Pueblo, Col., is the man who obtained legislation for a congressional investigation of the atrocities against the workers in the strike in the Rockefeller mines in Colorado, several years ago. Mr. Keating is at present editor of "Labor," the railway workers' newspaper published in Washington. Mr. Keating served in Congress when Crosser did and he had every opportunity to see the kind of work he did as a legislator. Mr. Keating's estimate of Crosser will be seen in the following statement: "Crosser must come back to Congress.
Crosser has studied public questions to the point where he understands them. He has no strings attached to him. He votes as Bob Crosser's conscience and clear old Scotch brain directs and not as some boss or organization dictates.
Time and again I have seen Crosser in action when unexpected questions came up for a vote in the house. Bob simply applied one test—the same acid test he always uses and the only one that can be trusted—"Is this in the interests of the people of the United States?" If he believed it was not, he voted against it regardless of who was sponsor for the measure or what influences were behind it. Crosser has a trained and educated mind, and he has a heart that is right. I would regard it as a calamity if the voters of Cleveland do not send him back to congress. Not only the public utility interests, who fear Crosser as they no other man can congress, but those who all support the country are out to defeat Crosser. The bosses want to make an example of him so that when other new members attempt to disobey the bosses, they can say: "Remember what happened to you. Now behave and do as we say or we'll see that you get the same treatment."
By sending Crosser back, Cleveland will put heart into every man who is trying to do the right thing. I imagine Tom Johnson's spirit is somewhere in the vicinity of Bob Crosser's headquarters these days and he must be immensely pleased at the way Bob is carrying on the fight he himself waged on the death. The Gazette urges its readers to vote for Mr. Crosser because he is the PEOPLE'S candidate.

Senator Atlee Pomerene
17. SCHLOSEN
Senator Pomerene's record during his nearly twelve years in the United States Senate shows that he has voted uniformly for the general welfare. Race prejudice never has influenced his vote. He has been fair to all regardless of race or color. He never has dodged or sidestepped an issue that has been of interest to the Negro. When Negroes have been appointed to offices requiring the confirmation of the Senate he has proved time and time again that he is their friend.
Senator Pomerene
Stands four square to every political wind that blows;
votes for what be believes to be right, regardless of political consequences.
Yields always to his convictions, never to pressure no matter how powerful;
Supports constructive legislation in the interest of all the people;
Belongs to no bloc and never is a party to legislative "log-rolling";
Is courageous, dependable, able and conscientious;
Never is guilty of absenteeism;
Never practices nepotism;
Believes public office is a public trust;
Senator Pomerene's Platform is his RECORD.

Mrs, Louisa Godette, stenograph-
er in ‘The Gazette office, complains
that there is a waitress (white) in
Woolworth’s 5 & 10 cent store, E.
4th St. and Euclid Ave., who’ ab-
solutely refuses to serve our
people at the store’s lunch counter;
that she (Mrs. Godette) had to wait
one time, Monday, before being
served by another waitress (white),
and that during this time she was
compelled to sit and hear an in-
sulting conversation relative to
serving her which was carried on
by the color-line waitress and an-
other of her “stripe.” The man-
agement of the store has been no-
tifled of this incident and sent a
copy of our Ohio Civil Rights law
that provides penalties ranging
from $50 to $500 for direct or in-
direct refusals to serve us in all
public places in this state. Tues-
day, Mrs. Godette was insulted in
Hotel’ Statler when she went there
to fill a Gazette business engage-
mient with Miss Rebhan, Room 303,
a lady active in Judge Florence E.
Allen's campaign. An _ elevator
boy refused to permit her to enter
the elevator, claiming he was fols
lowing instructions, until Miss Reb-
han took up the matter with the
assistant manager ot Hotel Statler,
telling him that that sort of thing
must cease, at least as far as her
guests, regardless of race or color,
were concerned, or she and those
connected with her would leave the
hotel. ‘That settled it and the ele-
yator boy could serve Mrs. Godette
and did. Good for Mrs. Rebhan!
She is the right kind. O! for more
of them.

CHARACTER,
Character, like a fine old tree,
matures slowly and is a riper
growth than success that is
forced as hothouse products’ are
forced. Character in a news-
paper develops through years of
Service to the people. For
forty years The Gazette has
been serving our people of this
country. It has gathered a
reader clientele whose tastes it
reflects, and whose power and
responsiveness to buy are direct
measures of its present impor
tance to every advertiser.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers
of he 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 Tist
General Assembly, in 1894:
+ gacTit, General Code of Ohio:
| Sec, 12940. Whoever, being the
proprietor or his employee, keeper or
manager of an inn, restaurant, eat-
ing house, barber-shop, public con-
veyance by land or water, theater oF
other place of public accommodation
and amusement, denies to s citizen,
except for reasons applicable alike
to all citizens and regardless of race
or color, the full eniovment of the ac:
commodations, advantages. facilitie:
or privileges thereof, shall be fined nat
less than fifty dollars nor more than
five hundred dollars, or imprisoned
not less than thirty days nor more
than ninety days, or hoth

next preceding section shall also pay
not less than fifty dollars nor: more
than five hundred dollars to the per-
son aggrieved thereby to be recov-
‘ered in any court of competent. jur-
isdiction in the county where such of-
fense was committed.
coTHis law thas 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 courte,
Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law.
Misled by the foolishly manufae-
tured outery for the passage of the
Beaty bill, few years ago, the Ate
ron Beacon Journal published an edi-
torial to which the editor of The Ga-
fette replied, calling. its attention te
the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights
law was good law and did not need
amending. The following letter from
Jodge Grant, former presiding foare
of the Court of Appeals of the Eizh
District of Ohio, is self explanatory:
Akron, 0., April 25, 1919.
Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor The Gazette Cleveland, 0.
My Dear Sir: Observing your let-
ter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city,
J venture to send you, under a sep-
arate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of
Feb. 8, Inst, containing the opinion of
the Court of Appeals in the Puritan
Lanch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, de
sided in Akron, lavt fall, in which 4
Judgment for '($500) five hun
dollars was sustained. If the Beacon:
Journal bad known what wax going on
in its own town, there would have been
no occasion for criticism, editorially
THE LAW OF OHIO 13 UNDER NO
REPROACH, nor our courts and
juries, in administering it. Not a
‘word was said by the Beacon-Journal
when the Forman case was reviewed.
Very truly yours,
C. R Grant.

selves and work together (or

do not learn to govern ourselves

as well as worked by others for
their own advancement and not
