(Special to The Gazette.) Jersey City, N. J.—Secretary of War Weeks has sent our 24th U. S. Infantry to Georgia. Why? The country would like to know. Many of us have our opinion, but it would be enlightening if the secretary Dr. Wm. A. Byrd. would inform us why. Georgia is no place for our soldiers to live in. Is this a ruse to torment and oppress the soldiers until their wrath rises and they resent it and then a government, unjust in its dealings with them, will proceed to hang them and send others to prison? Secretary Weews is a northern man, but his attitude toward our people is southern. That is why he was defeated for re-election when he ran against Senator Walsh of Massachusetts. Our soldiers are trained in self-defense and if the Georgia law does these things to pull off anything, it is the duty that the soldiers to strike hard and fast. Death has no terrors to them and it is as praiseworthy to die in Georgia routing the Georgia "Hun" as it is to die in the Jungles routing savages. President Harding is responsible for the acts of Mr. Weeks. Our people, and especially our citizens who vote where votes count, will surely resent this veiled attempt at cowering the Afro-American soldier.

They are unfair and won't be just if an altercation arises between a white civilian and the Afro-American soldier. Any president knowing the attitude of white southern officers toward our soldiers and also knowing how the latter hate the oppressive and unjust southern white officers, should not bring the two together. The president might as well know it now, as later, that he may accept the attitude of the southern white toward acceptance it, and we count it a privilege to do all in our tower to have the world understand that the southern attitude is devilish, lawless and wicked, and whenever and wherever an opportunity arises where real Afro-American can smite it, it will done with a vengeance. It is re-treated that their new commander ovoid the soldiers that they will be "treated as Georgia treats niggers." Let him dare attempt it and let Georgia wake up the mandhood in "Old 24" and all will know better. Besides if a commander made such a statement he should be court-martialed and shot. This country should understand now that our loyal citizens are tied fighting for a country and a government that can't afford to lose. The country of this government, so far as the Afro-American soldier is concerned, is black and unworthy of any nation. Men of little caliber, prejudiced minds and political spleen should be kept out of the Cabinet where they have an opportunity to smite a race that has always been loyal. We shall not continue to be loyal. A country disloyal to its people, should not expect loyalty in return. President Harding, your oath compels you to be just toward all races or stand guilty of a false oath. President Harding your administration has been and is unpopular with the majority of our citizens of this country. President Harding, you are in duty bound to give our people of the South the same square deal as you give the white people of the country if they please Mr. President your Administration has lynched many of the rights of our people and we are now seeking to do away with lynch law and the lynchers. If Mr. Weeks is pursuing this road to lynch the spirits and courage of the Afro-American soldier he should be removed. We shall watch the treatment of our 24th U. S. Infantry in Georgia, and if it be unjust and prejudiced, those responsible for it must pay the penalty. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.

Work, director of the Department of Records and Research of Tuskegee N. & I. Institute, says not including those killed in strikes, riots, etc., there were 57 persons lynched in 1922. This is 7 less than the number 64 for the year 1921. Thirty of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, 13 from jails, and 17 from officers of the law outside of jails. There were 58 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Fourteen of these were in northern states and the law outside of jails. Of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards were augmented or other precautions taken. In the 4 other instances, armed force was used to repel would-be lynchers. In only ten instances, convictions carrying penitentiary sentences were secured against alleged lynchers. Of the 57 persons lynched in 1922, six only were whites; 19, or one-third, of those put to death were only charged with rape or attempted rape; 6 of the victims were burned. The charges against them were murder; 2, rape; 4. The offences charged against the whites were: Murder; 2; fighting; 1; charges not reported; 3. The offenses only charged against Negroes were: Murder; 9; murderous assault; 4; rape; 14; attempted rape; 5; killing officer of the law; 3; horse-stealing; 2; being intimate with white woman; 2; no special charge; 2; killing man in altercation; 1; striking man in quarrel; 1; robbing and striking a woman; 1; cattle-stealing; 1, using insulting language; 1; for being a strike-breaker; 1; mistaken identity; 2; indecent exposure of person and frightening woman and children; 1; intimidating woman and children; 1, the state in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Alghana; 2; Arkansas; 5; Florida; 5; Georgia; 11; Louisiana; 3; Mississippi; 9; Oklahoma; 1; South Carolina; 1; Tennessee; 2; Texas, 18. —The Culture Assembly club gave a very pretty Xmas party at the Happy Hour pavilion, Dec. 27.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Maintaining "Jim Crow" School! Judge Geiger's Statements Riddled By Johnson and Daniels Another Petition for Permanent Injunction Filed, Curry and "Jim Crowism" Must Go—Our People More Determined Than Ever—The Right Spirit (Special to The Gazette.) Springfield, O.—Another step in the fight against the "jim crow" Fulton school was taken, Saturday, when Atty. Sully Jaymes, acting for Chas. L. Johnson and James W. Leigh, filed a petition in common pleas court that their petition for a permanent injunction against the Fulton school, being conducted as a separate school, be amended that the school be closed until the suit is finally disposed of. This step is taken because of the failure of Judge Geiger to enforce the terms of his temporary injunction, or set a date for a hearing on the petition for a permanent injunction. With the beginning of the new year, the newly elected judge, Frank M. Knapp, succeeded Judge Geiger, of the Common Pleas court, and it will be expected that the suit (petition) will be set for an early hearing. Meanwhile, preparations are going forward for the resumption of the picketing should the school reopen on Jan. 8. phasingizing the necessity of riddling the community of "jim crow" N. groes; especially should our people refuse to support those depended upon their own people for support.

Rev. Irving also declared his intention to co-operate with the League by keeping his two boys out of school until next year, if necessary. Good! that's the spirit. It has also been announced that the "Parson" police guard will withdrawn should the school be reopened, Monday. Thus has one department of our local government shown some sense of responsibility for the use of the people's money, by discontinuing the useless and insulting $700 per month expenditure and flagrant waste of the taxpayers' money to assist Geo. McCord in trying to put over his illegal "jim" WILLIAM Lack. He has a similar sense of responsibility would not waste the people's money at the rate of $1400 per month in maintaining a 14-room school-building with 11 teachers and only 45 pupils, and unlawfully at that, while retrenchments are made in other unquestioned public activities. For example, one month's salary for their "jim crow" experiment would have been nearly enough to maintain their descended public health care. I am hope that this new year will bring more respect for all laws and a greater sense of decency, if not a broader spirit of brotherhood, and more comprehensive Christianity to Springfield. X. X. Y.

JANUARY 6, 1923 Bishop Thos. F. Gallor (white) said at Memphis, Tenn., recently, that the Ku Klux Klan was the "curse of the country." Agreed! But there are others—mob violence, etc., etc. That southern professor (white) in N. Y. City, last week, who said there was more prejudice in the North than the South, knew he was telling a lie when he said it. He had a purpose in view. It is obvious. --- The editor of The Gazette was simply deluged with Xmas and New Year's cards, letters, etc., last and this week, and also received a fine box of cigars, "Chancellors," his favorite brand, from Mr. and Mrs. John H. Cook of Washington, D. C. Many thanks, kind friends, one and all, for the remembrances. They are very encouraging, and we are still enjoying the cigars. --- People who have invested heavily in European securities naturally want the United States to cancel European debts in order to enhance the value of their holdings. Naturally, also, the holders of American securities are opposed to cancellation as that would injure the value of their holdings. In this race of selfish interest one cannot help hoping that the holder of American securities wins out. --- Probably the best answer to those who have contended that the new tariff law would prove to be prohibitive and cut us off from foreign commercial intercourse, is the necessity for an increase over the annual appropriation for customs administration "in order that the congestion in the appraisers' stores, especially at New York and Los Angeles, may be relieved." Other ports are suffering from congestion, and the service hopes to remedy these conditions through the employment of a larger force of men. --- Work on the Muscle Shoals' dam is progressing at high speed under the appropriation made by Congress last spring. About 2,000 men are working in there shifts, pouring concrete 24 hours a day, in an effort to complete a certain portion of the foundations before the annual high water of the Tennessee River. With the dams completed, the government will have a source of power which it can rent to private operators, along with the existing nitrate plans, and farmers will be able to get fertilizer without the necessity of government operation. --- When Clemenceau told the farmers at Chicago that this country must choose between isolation and co-operation, he left an utterly erroneous inference. We have not been isolated; neither have we fainted to cooperate. His remark was as artilful as the question propounded by the pettifogging lawyer: "Have you quit beating your mother-in-law?" This nation has been doing business for nearly a century and a half and has not been isolated during any of that time. Neither has it ever refused to co-operate in any way for world welfare. But we have insisted upon the right to determine what is a proper form of co-operation and when and where and in what manner it shall be given. We do not need either the French or English people to teach us public duties. ```markdown ``` SLOWLY DYING OF "DRY-ROT." The Gazette is informed, by one of the leading members of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., that there were only about thirty members at its recent annual meeting at Mt. Zion Cong. church and that President Wm. R. Green was re-elected. The local organization is "in a very bad way," to quote our informant. This does not surprise us in the least, because any leadership' that prevents an organization from taking action in a case like that of the Wm. R. Green-Wm. Taylor, Son & Co. is not calculated to create interest, to say nothing of enthusiasm, in any organization's work for the race. This is to be greatly regretted because there is so very much locally to be done and the possibilities are so great for the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., if only properly led. We cannot for life of us understand President Green's refusal to lead his organization in a fight on that store for its refusal to permit him to try on a hat when he went there to purchase one, some weeks ago. It means so very much to our people of this community. For if that store is permitted to continue so discriminating it will not be long before other large stores in Cleveland will emulate their ex-ample, and our people of this city all know what that will mean to them in many ways. --- A SOUTHERN POLITICAL ORGANIZATION. The failure of Congress, when it investigated the Ku Klux Klan, to recommend the wiping out of this insidious evil, is one of the shames that haunt the government. The Ku Klux Klan is the legitimate outgrowth of the policy of this government to allow white southerners to do whatever it pleased them with white or black people. The South began its lawless escapade by abusing the "northern carpet-bagger," In many instances these "northern caper-baggers" were infinitely better than the gang that derided them. Their second purpose was to make the country believe the Afro-American was a beast, and as such should be left to the South: The citizen rights of these people should not be as the constitution says, but as southern white men say. This has been going on for nearly a half century. Naturally white men would differ in their views of government and when this difference interfered with the reign of southern lawlessness, white men or any other set of men would be treated as the mob had treated our people for years. From Atlanta came the last monster (the Ku Klux Klan) which attempted to brutalize and destroy all religions and races that were not espoused by the "Caucasian" race under the name of Protestantism. In its madness for power it destroyed itself. To propagate itself it has allied itself with the Church. Protestant ministers, those in the north who were born and reared in the South and have the southern point of view, are the ones depended upon to spread this evil. The southern white clergymen can be relied upon to spread the virus of the South everywhere. In the future our people should pay little attention to the activities of the Klan. The wickedness of this hypocritical monster has disgusted the world, besides it has laid bare the malicious evils that infest the southern Church. The southern ministry as a whole is a tool of this Klan. As such it is unworthy of religious association by honest men. The Ku Klux Klan is a cancer upon this nation and President Harding should by executive order outlaw it. "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 obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.

Judge Geiger's recent decision, founded upon one by the State Supreme Court which will be found on page 4 of this paper, is invaluable, for the many, good things that our people have grown out of the wonderful fight our good and loyal people of this community have been making for many weeks with the aid of their wonderful women-pickets.

It GREAT SHOWS AT THE GLOBE THE GLOBE SHOWS AT THE GLOBE The Globe Theater broke all records for Cleveland in ushering in the New Year as it did, last Sunday night. The "Plantation Days" Co., with its famous syncopated band, more than sustained its well known reputation as being one of the very best in the country. The house was crowded as usual. Indeed, this hardly tells all the truth not only for that night, but every night, this week. The regular weekly program, with Byrd & Ewing's theical force comedy entitled, "The College Boy" and jazz band as a headliner, kept the theater crowded every evening.

Wonder how long the taxpayers of this city are going to permit this waste (over $700 a month) to continue?

Another Southern Cess Pool Exposed in Part by a Native Son—Rotten! New York City. — With details that only a southerner could know, Clement Wood (white) tells in The Nation of Jan. 10, "23, a frank story of the constant "intermingling" ("soul-mate" intermingling) of the races. A practice which was openly permitted in slave days, has shrunk, he says. Yet the double (white and colored) family is recognized openly enough so that a candidate for Governor can make a campaign boast he has given his "black children" to be deceased. After quoting an Alabama congressman in favor of amalgamation, Mr. Wood concludes: "The great misfortune is not that there are mutate to children in Alabama; it is that Alabama, the state itself, is the offspring of two races, united so furtively and blunderingly that she is immeasurably the loser by her joint parentage." Mr. Wood says nothing, however, about the "black children" white women of the South have given birth to and still give birth to occasionally. Notable Rock Dwellers Rock gardening, which originated by sticking a fern on a tree stump or an Alpine plant between two stones, has come to be the most interesting phase of floral decoration. The chief fault of the modern rockery is that whatever plants are employed they are almost invariably chosen so as to come into bloom together. Then there is a general slump in bloom, and this usually occurs in June, when spring favorites have lost all their charms. For this reason it is always preferable to let summer flowering plants be well represented on the rockery. For June display the androsaces makes a charming group of Alpine grandeur. This rock jasmine thrives best in sunny crevices or fissures filled with sandy loam and dislikes being molested as much as poppies or mignonette. Most of the Alpine species yield flowers of a rose or purple hue, and a pyrenea, hailing from the Pyrenees, bears white blossoms with a yellow eye. Varieties of this genus are very numerous. Most of the saxifrages flower from May till July, and, for our present purpose—securing a gay rockery when flowers have faded—they are a desirable group. The silvery rosette tufts of the incrusted section are generally admired and are popular plants for a sunny, dry position. These rockfools are stocked in great variety by Alpine nurserymen and are offered in collections of at least 50 distinct sorts. Phlox setacea generally flowers till July, and the same may be said of the blue veronica rupestris. The former is four inches and the latter but three inches high. The gentians are now going out of flower, so they are of no use for summer effects, but there are certain dwarf herbaceous plants which, although usually confined to the perennial border, are spendid subjects for brightening the rock garden when the true Alpines have fallen. chelone cocciinea (red), helium pumilium (yellow) lycinig (scarlet), trollius Europaeus (yellow), and the lavender Caucasian scabius are al. eligible, none of them being more than two feet high and all flowered in high summer, while even Iceland poppies and dwarf perennial asters are not to be despised A Pretty Shower. At a recent bridal shower there was a pretty collection of satchets in fancy covers. At a wedding these little satin satchets, all very dainty and pretty, were thrown after the departing bride and groom in place of the usual rice and slippers. 27号 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, degrees are not worthy of equal rights, they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. 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 newspaper 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 importance to every advertiser.

OHIO SUPREME COURT QUOTED Against "Jim Crow" Schools! They Are Unlawful, Wasteful and Injurious Springfield School Superintendent and Board of Education Denied the Right to Draw Racial Lines In School Matters—Another Great Victory! (Special to The Gazette.) Springfield, O. — Sup't. McCord and the Board of Education received a knock-out jolt, recently when Judge Frank W. Geiger of the Court of Common Pleas overruled the demurrier of the board to the petition of Chas. L. Johnson and J. W. Leigh for a permanent injunction. The decision, which was rather lengthy, required a full half hour judge, judge and adjudicator admitted truth of the allegations of the petition, to the effect that the board of education is, by transfer of pupils, seeking to establish at the Fulton building, a school exclusively for our children. The court's ruling referred to a precedent set by the Ohio supreme court in a similar case and indicated that he would follow it in the case now pending. Judge Geiger said it held that inasmuch as the legislature had, in 1887, the specification of a uniformed institution of exclusively colored school, that separate schools for colored children have been abolished, and that no regulation can MORE BABIES BORN AFTER WARS POSTPONED MARRIAGES MAY BE THE CAUSE Noted French Savant Looks Up Records—Facts Observed in 1870—Fewer Deaths. According to a common belief, there is during and especially immediately after war a notable increase in the number of male children born in the belligerent countries. This belief has found frequent echo of late and already some profess to see the recurrence of this phenomenon in an increase of boys in the published birth records of France. With a view to obtaining an expert opinion on the subject the writer asked Dr. Jacques Bertillon, the statistician, and brother of the inventor of the famous anthropometric system that bears his name, whether the popular belief referred to can be proved in the light of statistics. Dr. Bertillon, who is at present director of the medico-chirurgical office of statistics connected with the ministry of war, smelled skeptically in answer to the writer's question. "I have kept no records on the subject," he replied, "but we can easily look up the statistics." Dr. Bertillon pointed out that the effect of every great war or national calamity is to cause an almost immediate recrudescence of vitality in every form. The birth rate increases and mortality corresponding seems to diminish. But the fact, that more children are born after a war can be accounted for to some extent by the explanation that many marriages which would have taken place in normal times have been deferred and are only concluded after peace has been re-established. The fact that fewer persons seem to die has a similar explanation. During the time of suspense and general anxiety many persons of advanced age or feeble health, who might normally have lived for some time longer, succumb, not being able to resist physical privations and mental distress. To quote Dr. Bertillon: "National disasters can be compared to the storm which shakes a fruit tree to its very roots; fruit which is overripe or wormeaten will be the first to go, and when the storm has passed what is left on the tree is young and vigorous and able to resist other shocks of a normal nature with ease. There is also a natural tendency in all forms of creation to reestablish a balance of vitality after an abnormal exhaustion." Referring to the statistical records of the period immediately following the war of 1870, it was found the proportion of male to female children, both in France and Germany, was 105 to 100, which Dr. Bertillon declared to be the normal proportion. More boys are born than girls in all countries of which records are kept, and the proportion is as mentioned. But the fact that mortality is greater among male infants and small boys than among girls causes a readjustment among the sexes toward the age of 6 or 7 years, which, Dr. Bertillon says, is the age when humanity is least subject to mortality. be made under any now existing statute which does not apply to all children, irrespective of race or color. Continuing, the court said that "in the Fulton school district there are about three hundred colored and two houndred white pupils who were enrolled in said school in 1920-21, and that the enrollment for the present school year would be about the number of students on the board of education is attempting, unlawfully, to establish and maintain said school as a school exclusively for colored children; that the board has not declared to do so indirectly, and that it has transferred all white that it has transferred all white children to other districts from the Fulton school district, refusing them admittance in their own district; that such acts have been done solely because of race or color of said children; and that they have unlawful and an abuse of the corporate powers of defendant, and a waiver of money of the taxpayers, and an irreparable injury to plaintiffs. Reference was then made to the statistics from 1816 to 1820—the period immediately following the wars of Napoleon. Here again the proportion of male to female births was 105 to 150. These figures refer to France only, which, next to Sweden, has the oldest statistical records in the world. In Germany statistics of a general nature were introduced only with the empire, so the writer was informed. "German statistics," observed Dr. Bertillon, "are very reliable—when they want to be!" Apart from the number of children born there is, of course, the important factor of the physical condition of infants—records of which it is difficult to obtain—for sickly children may grow up and create another generation, passing on their defects. This reflection was suggested after learning the reassuring record of births after the Napoleonic wars, for the writer then recalled a memorable page in "Les Confessions d'un Enfant du Siecle," in which Alfred de Musset, born in 1810, described the condition of France after two decades of warfare. The babes, he relates, were born weak and tired, as if prematurely blighted, indicating that the race was exhausted by the incessant drain imposed on it by the thirst for power and victory. But to quote a romantic poet to an eminent statistician would have hardly been in keeping. Extensive experiments in concrete structures conducted by the bureau of standards have led authorities to believe that most of the concrete used in construction work is mixed with an excessive quantity of water. Water may reduce the strength as much as 50 per cent, they say. A bulletin recently issued by the bureau says that a mixture with a moderate proportion of cement properly made is apt to have greater strength than a mixture rich in cement but improperly prepared. Noted Atronomer Makes Big Gift to Washington State University. Dr. Percival Lowell, noted astronomer, has established a scholarship in astronomy exclusively for the University of Washington to be known as the "Mars fellowship." This recognition of the work done in astronomy by the university follows immediately upon Dr. Lowell's recent visit to Seattle and his inspection of the courses in astronomy offered to Washington students. The holder of the fellowship, who will be chosen by Prof. Samuel L. Boothroyd, associate professor of astronomy and mathematics, must be a student or graduate of the university specializing in astronomy and must follow some line of original research at the Lowell observatory near Flagstaff, Ariz. The fellowship is good for a year and carries a stipend of $600. Prof. Boothroyd is confident that if a holder of the fellowship shows particular ability for a year he will have no difficulty in obtaining a renewal for another year. A novel feature of the gift is the provision that Prof Boothroyd himself may conduct research of his own at the Lowell observatory during his summer vacations. He may avail himself of the same opportunities offered students. Whether he does accept will depend, he says, on whether he can get away for a summer vacation period. The scholarship is doubly import- and to the state of Washington, according to Prof. Boothroyd, because no great amount of delicate research work may be conducted in this state. Washington offers no truly good site for a big research laboratory because its mountains and its waters cause disturbing winds and clouds. Prof. Boothroyd points out that observatories must be situated where the atmosphere is least disturbed by weather conditions. Lowell observatory, where holders of the "Mars Fellowship" will conduct their observations, is in the center of a vast plateau which boasts of ideal atmospheric conditions. "Dr. Lowell, because of his eminent success in establishing much of what we know of the planet Mars, deserves to be ranked with the greatest astronomers," declared Prof. Boothroyd in discussing the fellowship. "He takes his place beside Si. William Herschel, the German-English astronomer who in 1871 made valuable discoveries concerning the planet Uranus. Dr. Lowell's vast research on the planet Mars has brought to light a great amount of scientific data and is a permanent addition to astronomy.

ARMY DRILLS BENEFIT YOUTH SURGEON GENERAL BLUE SAYS COURSES WOULD UPBUILD BODILY STRENGTH Princeton Head Claims That Universal Training is Needed. Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United States public health service, in a letter to the National Security League gives his unaqualified endorsement to university military training, as beneficial, to the public health. "I believe a system," says Dr. Blue's letter, "under which all the young men of this country could receive military training would be of investimable value. The outdoor life and physical development which such training guarantees could not fail to improve materially the health and vigor of our entire population. "Such a system would mean that every young man would receive carefully supervised physical training at an age when the upbuilding of bodily strength is most important—and unfortunately, often neglected. As a preliminary to such training, every youth would be given a thorough physical examination, and the value of this one phase of the system would be enormous, for it would result in the discovery of many physical detects or ailments of which the men themselves might be unaware, and which could be remedied by proper measures. "It should be remembered also that the elementary principles of hygiene and sanitation form a part of the training of every soldier. The public health value of inculcating these principles in the mind of every youth or the land canno, be overestimated." President John Grier Hibben of Princeton university, writing to the league on the subject of universal training, said: "I have received your letter and I am very glad to express to you my conviction that we need in this country universal military training. This will not only insure proper protection in time of war, but throughout the years of peace, which we all hope we may enjoy, it will knit together the citizens of our country in a common work, and give them all a feeling of obligation to serve the nation not only in arms, but through the best efforts of citizenship." Telephone Courtesy. A telephone operator has committed suicide because she talked back to a patron who swore at her and was reprimanded by the superintendent. The girl was, of course, foolishly sensitive, but the man at the other end of the line was in a measure to blame. It is easy to forget that a telephone is not a slot machine; that central is not merely an anonymous and impersonal agency, but a young person—generally a woman—of flesh and blood and nerves. There are people who from the point of vantage of a pay station are sometimes guilty of language they would not utter to any one face to face. Such persons are as contemptible as the writers of scurrilous and insulting missives sent anonymously through the mails. The code of ethics of the telephone demands that the forms and ceremonials of courtesy shall not be curtailed or dispensed with merely because the other party to the conversation is invisible. When the utterance is not qualified or explained by the expression on the face of the speaker, there is all the more reason for taking the utmost pains to employ language that can not be misconstructed as unmannered. Not merely is the fact of the speaker invisible, but finer shades of inflection and accent and all minor modifications of the timbre of the Best Canned Peas or Beans Will Stir Family to Rebellion if Always Cooked in Same Way. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Turnips, carrots, cabbage, onions, potatoes, parsnips, kale, celery, and winter squash—for a good many winter months these are the only fresh vegetables that appear on the table, so that for the sake of variety it is necessary to fall back on the stock of canned vegetables. Even the best canned string beans or peas, however, will stir the family to rebellion if always served in exactly the same way. No matter how canned vegetables are served, they should be boiled thoroughly after they are poured from the can and before they are tasted. table combinations which the family is certain to enjoy. Fresh or canned turnips cooked with fresh or canned celery may be an innovation to many. The combination may be served with white sauce, or after being covered with a white sauce in a baking dish, it may be sprinkled with grated cheese, bits of butter, seasoning, and bread crumbs, and browned in the oven. Carrots diced and mixed with canned peas or string beans cut in small pieces, are one of the best known and best liked of the vegetable mixtures. Peas or small lima beans Scalloped canned tomatoes are not only good in themselves but help use up stale bread. Canned sweet potatoes may be mashed and baked, or made into sweet potato ple, or baked in layers with slices of apple between. Impove Flavor of Vegetables. A little onion juice or celery salt, or a bit of green pepper or celery tops, or a tiny piece of bay leaf, improves the flavor of many vegetable dishes. The United States Department of Agriculture has a number of other suggestions for varying the appearance and flavor of canned vegetables. Canned asparagus may be cut up and spread in layers in a baking dish, with bread crumbs in between, sprinkled with salt, pepper or paprika, seasoned with the liquor from the can, and baked. Okra or egg-plant scalloped in this way is equally delicious. Scalloped canned corn is good, and is improved by a little chopped onion and pimento. A corn pudding may be made by adding milk and egg to canned corn. Canned vegetables may be combined with each other or with the so-called winter vegetables. Tomatoes and peppers are a popular combination, whether stewed, scalloped, or used in soup; and potatoes, okra, and onion added to meat stock make a good soup. Tomatoes and corn may be baked or boiled together or scalloped. Tomatoes and string beans; tomatoes, corn and string beans; tomatoes and celery, are all good vegetoive are lost, so that there is additional cause for careful choice of language and avoidance of both matter and manner of offense. Persons who ordinarily converse in mellifluous tones are sometimes curiously brusque and dictatorial when talking over the telephone. It is hard to believe that the same person is speaking. Then there is the phenomenon known as the "telephone voice," which instantly modulates from a harsh, imperative enunciation to sweet, low tones upon finding out who is at the other end of the wire. A telephone is a severe test of manners and of personal sincerity as well. Philadelphia Public Ledger. During our Mexican war under Gen. Winfield Scott 104,000 troops were employed, and on yy 12,000 of this number were of the militia. Scott was much handicapped, however, by the custom of short enlistments, and the total absence of system pertaining thereto. The commander learned on reaching Pueblo that seven of his eleven regiments had decided to terminate their services at the end of the year, a problem that was only solved by the lack of vitality of the Mexican forces. A railway from Petrograd to Soroka, on the White sea, a distance of 530 miles, has been completed, giving Russia another outlet to the north in addition to that of Archangel. SLEEPY GRASS A Plant That Stupefies Horses and May Be of Use as an Anaesthetic. "Sleepy grass" has been known to the Indians of New Mexico for many years but only of late have the whites become acquainted with its peculiar properties. It is suggested that it may prove of value as an anaesthetic. The grass grow along small streams and in damp canons and arroyos of the Sacramento Mountain region of New Mexico, and nowhere else so far as anybody knows. When eaten by cattle it puts them into a sleep that insts from twelve to twenty-four hours. The cattle seem to experience no ill effects from eating the grass, and medical men who have been told about it believe that there are possibilities in a medical way in it. The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research is making an analytical test of the grass. The grass for the test was gathered by H. W. Wolcott of Alamogordo, N. M., a brother of the late United States Senator Edward Wolcott of Colorado, Mr. Wolcott, who is something of a naturalist and botanist, having heard about the grass, wrote to medical institutions and scientists but could find table combinations which the family is certain to enjoy. Fresh or canned turnips cooked with fresh or canned celery may be an innovation to many. The combination may be served with white sauce, or after being covered with a white sauce in a baking dish, it may be sprinkled with grated cheese, bits of butter, seasoning, and bread crumbs, and browned in the oven. Carrots diced and mixed with canned peas or string beans cut in small pieces, are one of the best known and best liked of the vegetable mixtures. Peas or small lima beans in beet or turnip cups, are attractive for a change; and lima beans with corn, need no introduction. Pastry trimmings baked in patty pans or muffin tins make good cups for creamed vegetables, which are also good when served on toast. Reheating canned string beans with a ham bone or a piece of bacon and then serving them with vinegar makes them seem an entirely different vegetable. A sour sauce can be made for canned string beans by blending one tablespoonful of fat, the liquor from a pint can, one tablespoonful of vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. After simmering the beans in this sauce for several minutes a well-beaten egg is added just before serving. Spinach Souffle Recipe. To make spinach souffle, chop drained canned spinach very fine and rub it through a coarse sieve. Heat with one tablespoonful of flour, one tablespoonful of butter, salt pepper, a dash of nutmeg, and one-half cupful of milk. Separate an egg, beat both yolk and very white stiff, fold into the spinach mixture and bake in individual ramekins for fifteen minutes, or longer if baked in a larger dish. When serving canned baked beans, reheat them with a little extra seasoning consisting of a tablespoonful of molasses, a pinch of mustard, and a bit of bacon or salt pork; put into the oven to brown. The canning process saves the long preliminary cooking necessary with home-cooked baked beans, and yet a similar flavor may be developed in this way. nobody who knew anything about it. Then he interested the Rockfeller Institute in it. For many years it has been known among ranchers that cattle and horses on eating the grass fall into a deep sleep. Cows turned out for the day would fail to return to the pen at night and an investigation would disclose them sleeping in some region where the sleepy grass grew. Travelers have tied out their horses in patches of the grass for the night and have been unable to continue their journey until their animals recovered from their sleep. Thus the properties of the grass became known, but nobody attempted to find a use for it; on the contrary sleepy grass was looked on as a pest, and how to rid the region of it was the question that troubled the ranchers. When Mr. Wolcott heard the story from the ranchers and from the Indians he decided to test it. Taking several horses into one of the canons where the grass grew luxuriantly, he allowed them to eat their fill, and they ate ravenously. In a short time every animal was asleep and the slumber was not broken for almost twenty-four hours. Awakening, the animals seemed in a kind of stupor, but in the course of a few hours they were in as good physical condition as ever. The Indians have for many years used sleep grass in taming broncos so the saddle. When they get a bronco that they cannot ride they lead or drive him into a patch of sleep grass and allow him to eat of it. Soon the horse is asleep, and he is then bound and tied. The horse is so stupefied when he is first awakened that he is easily broken. FIND JEWEL STONES IN GRAVEL Diggers Discover Valuables in Denver Subway. More than one hundred semi-precious stones, among the varities being the moonstone, toopaz and white sapphire, have been found during the last few days in the gravel which is being used in the concrete construction work at Denver's Union station. Some of the stones were found in gravel which was brought from along the Platte River, while others were picked up at the bottom of the pits which have been dug in the course of the construction of the passenger and luggage subways in Denver. John Hewitt, employed in the office of the Denver Union Terminal Company, picked up a smoky toopaz almost as large as a robin's egg, without a flaw in it. The intrinsic value of the stone is about 55, according to experts, who have examined it.

It took Hon. Harry C. Smith the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279.

(93 v. 161 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. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children survive such person, 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 of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6). Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 7) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6285.

A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disuse such mob. (93 v. 162 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for纵火罪, but may engage therein. (93 v. 163 12.) law.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers, of the Gazette we print below the text of Rion, Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public concession or theater, the other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than five hundred dollars. See. 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 been repeatedly held constitutional and good law by the Supreme court. The trouble in 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: 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 Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. 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. Very truly yours, C. R. Grant. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very interested 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. Dr. R. R. Moton. A PRIVILEGE It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right— Not a sacrifice, even though you go down. They count not the cost, who fight the good fight, And unflinchingly face the sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning.
