(Special to The Gazette.)
The Republican party and the Afro-American furnish an interesting topic for the thoughtful at this time. The writer will endeavor, in this and subsequent contributions to give a clear analysis of the situation at present. First; the Republican party as such does not consider our race an integral part of the party so far as holding office and receiving monetary recognition for his ability, service and loyalty. It is expected that our people vote the Republican ticket irrespective of issues at stake. In the south,

the fairness or sincerity of the Republican party. It may be safely stated that our vote will never again be solidly Republican. The appeal on the part of northern Democrats to our men, to vote with them, is meeting with / favor. Besides the Republican party has lost both decision and courage. It has no conviction of its own. It has lost the outspoken opposition which Lincoln gave to the party in his fight against Democratic principles. It is felt that the Republican party is more interested in "Big Business" than it is in humanity; that the party will protect "Wall Street"

and forsake the masses. Then, too. In the north the newly formed Ku Klux Klan, a Protestant organization, is composed largely of members of the Republican party. This organization stipulates that only persons of "pure Caucasian" blood may become members. It also states that its purpose is to have America ruled by Protestant white Americans. A Republican Congress, after finding out the tenets of this organization, refused to put it out of business and President Harding refuses to act in the matter. This organization supercedes the law of the states in which it operates. Our voters are opposed to the Ku Klux Klan and, as the Republican party permits this organization to do business, it is, but natural that wherever the Afro-American can snite the Klan he will do so. Our voters hold the balance of power in more than eight pivotal states and the Republican party cannot win a Presidential election without them. In the gubernatorial election of this year, Republicans lost two governors and many senators and representatives. It is up to the Republican party to change its "milk and cider" policy toward our voters or, failing to do so, it may again for a long time be the minority party of this nation.

Judge Krapp Very Different From Judge Geiger

(Special to The Gazette.)
Springfield, O.—The closing of the "jim crow" Fulton school on order of Judge Frank M. Krapp marks the beginning of the end of the long drawn out light our people have been making against the inquisitive thing. In spite of "Ed" Parson's swash-buckling with the police and their little machine gun, and braving the rain, snow and zero weather, our faithful pickets stuck to their job until success has finally crowned their efforts. According to the statement of Judge Krapp, when rendering his decision, there will be no further delay in the final settlement of the case as far as the local court is concerned. The data, Jan. 12, is within two weeks of Judge Krapp's assumption of the duties of judge of the local court of Common Pleas. He took office, Jan. 2, succeeding Judge Golfer. In a short speech he said among other things;
"I contends to a feeling of pride in feeling which almost any lawyer would naturally have upon being chosen to such an honorable position. But when I contemplate the great responsibilities of the office I am filled with a feeling of humility. The oath of office which I have taken has not been a mere formality. I have a firm determination to live up to the obligations of my oath, in latter and in spirit. Every question is to be decided solely on its merits, without regard to consequences to myself, and without regard to religion, race, politics, social position or wealth. Evidently, slight. McCord is beginning to see that his campaign of lawlessness is nearing an end, for this time the order of the court was respected and the "jim crow" Pulmon school bell, did not "ring on Monday morning." Although "Big Chief" Curry had said it would, "Faithful Fido still listening for his master's voice." The diligence read by Atty. John M. Cole (who has been in retained by the Board of Education as additional counsel to engage in pettifogging and evasive tactics) only showed the weakness of the school board's side of the case. Tyranny and despotism are inconsistent with democracy. The law must prevail.
The meeting of the Civil Rights Protective League at M. Zion Baptist church, last week Friday, was marked by the same endless elastic spirit that has not diminished since the first meeting and which has carried the people forward to their latest victory. Reports on the progress of the campaign were made by Atty. Daniels and Jaymes and President Johnson. A ladies quartette from Wilberforce University furnished some good music. Mr. Jaymes is president of the Board of Trustees of the N. & I. department of Wilberforce University. In his talk to the meeting, he warned our ministers to place themselves in harmony with the progressive spirit in regard to our social relations, if they wish to continue, as leaders. An incident of the meeting which brought forth great applause was the reading by Mr. Jaymes of the following telegram, from the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, in reply to one telling him of the court decision, last Friday, closing the "jim crow" Pulmon school:

Springfield, O.
Telegram just received. Thank the Lord! (for the court decision). Wish I was there (at the meeting). Harry C. Smith. Editor Smith has become a great favorite with our people of Springfield since its two very helpful appearances here as a speaker in our campaign and by the whole-hearted support and assistance rendered by The Gazette in keeping the cause before both classes of the public of this community as well as the general public the country over. The value of this service cannot be overestimated and certainly deserves the heartiest appreciation and praise not only of our people of Springfield but also of the whole state of Ohio. If not checked, the local "jim crow" school struggle will be faced by our people in other communities of the state. As reported by Atty. Jaymes, the same thing is being attempted in Glendale, a suburb of Cincinnati, in spite of an opinion by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to the effect that "under the laws of Ohio no School Board has the right to establish separate schools," on racial lines; for our or any other children. Notwithstanding that for four months our people have been giv-

ing freely of their slender means to support the fight that has been made, the collection at the close of the meeting amounted to $94. Though the end of the fight is thought to be near, there is no slackening in the preparations. A dinner was given, Wednesday, at League headquarters and an entertainment, Thursday evening, at Happy Hour dancing pavilion, both for the benefit of the League's Defense Fund. Good! Miss Lulu Price of Pittsburg was introduced to the League and spoke very encouragingly of the work being done. X. Y. Z.
(Special to The Gazette.)
Springfield, O.—"Jim Crow" Fulton school was ordered closed temporarily, last week Friday, by Judge Frank M. Krapp of common please court. The order was issued on application of Charles L. Johnson and James W. Leigh of the C. R. P. league, pending final decision of the suit of the league against the board of education for a permanent injunction. At the same time that Judge Krapp sustained the motion for a temporary injunction to close the school, he set the date for trial of the case for Friday, Jan. 12.
"I have considered arguments of counsel on both sides," said the court. "I think the specific statements, alleged by Mr. Johnson in the aidavit supporting this motion, have not been denied by the Board of Education. Sufficient grounds have been shown to raise the question gravely. No great hardship will be worked by keeping the school closed until the question has been settled on its merits. This ruling will have no effect on the final decision of the court. The motion for a temporary injunction is sustained."
The school was to have been reopened, Monday, Jan. 8. Judge A. N. Summers, Attys, Sully, James and Geo. W. Daniels presented arguments for the plaintiffs, in which they showed that the school board had attempted to set up a school for our pupils exclusively in the Fulton district; that the board had caused white pupils to attend other schools in the vicinity and had refused to allow our pupils from Fulton school to transfer to surrounding schools.
"The board is doing what it has no right to do, doing it indirectly and laughing about it," declared former State Supreme Court Justice A. N. Summers in his statement to Judge Krapp, last week Friday. "We want a ruling on this case, one way or the other. If the ruling is against us, then the remedy lies with the legislature," continued Judge Summers.
John M. Cole, representing the school board, read to the court an answer which denied the allegations of the plaintiff that pupils had been illegally transferred in or out of the district, with a view to making it a colored school. The answer was supported by affidavits signed by L. R. Lambert, president of the board; George E. McCord, superintendent of schools; George H. Dean, vocational officer, and Jane Lee; Negro teacher and acting principal of "jim crow." Fulton school, "Lord! have mercy!"
Jane Lee's avidifault alleged that the operation of the school has been hindered by pickets who sought to prevent children from attending it and that threats, intimidation and personal violence had been practiced by persons involved by the plaintiffs. In order to keep the children away from school. White persons were urged not to send their children, she alleged, on the plea that it would hurt the case of the plaintiffs. Jane ought to be ashamed of herself and doubtless is down deep in her heart.
Seventy-five percent of our citizens who are friendly to Wilberforce are greatly chagrined and very sore as a result of the action of Bishop Joshua H. Jones in not keeping his word to send a new pastor to North St. A. M. E. church to succeed Roy. Scott who has trained with Jane Lee, Curry, McCord et al. "Jim crow" school advocates. When the mongy is to be raised for that new building at Wilberforce University in the several A. M. E. churches here, our good people here will not forget Jones broken promise and send his money-solicitors from the churches here to Jane, Curry, McCord and their "koney" or kind.

SATURDAY, JAN. 13, 1923
If the internationalists in America have left anything undone that could embarrass the administration at Washington, it would be difficult to imagine the nature of their omission. Day after day they circulate false reports of some new determination of the government to depart from its announced policy of not interfering in European affairs, but no sooner is one such report denied than another is started. Enemies without are not near so bothersome as enemies within.
Clemenceau declares that the French aim is for peace. That is probably true, and the means for securing it is to shift the burden of war to American shoulders, and get the United States to enforce the Versailles Treaty, straighten out the Near East tangle, and assume the obligations of the league of nations. Meanwhile presumably, France and other European nations would sit by and watch American lives lost and American wealth dissipated. This would also please Bonar Law, England's premier, and other foreigners as well as Ex-Gov. Jas. M. Cox and his Democratic "League of Notions" associate-promoters.
HOLT (SLOW) ENTHUSIASM
After two years of unremitting toll, the Woodrow Wilson Foundationers have cajoled $800,000 out of the public toward their goal of $1,000,000. The result is hailed with glee by Hamilton Holt, the executive director of the Foundation, and he sent a telegram of congratulation to Mr. Wilson. "We regard," said Mr. Holt, "the support given the Foundation by men and women in every state and in all walks of life as a splendid expression of faith in you." The facts that give Mr. Holt such satisfaction would considerably dampen the ardor of any other collector of a national fund. Mr. Holt's two years' labor has brought an average of seven-tenths of a cent from each of the "men and women in all walks of life." Anybody who can see in that a "splendid expression of faith" would detect a tremendous enthusiasm for the league of nations covenant in the 7,000,000 plurality that put Mr. Harding in the White House.
GREAT BRITAIN SHOULD PAY NOT EVADE!
The British Chancellor of the Exchequer is in this country for the specific purpose of negotiating with the American debt refunding commission for the funding and future payment of the British obligation of about $4,750,000,000 to the American Treasury. Of course he will work for the most advantageous terms he can obtain. He will try to get a reduction of the interest rate and an increase of the time within which final payment may be made. The United States, on the other hand, will make every concession that it can while conserving the interests of American taxpayers. It is to be hoped that a final arrangement may be arrived at that will bring satisfaction to all parties concerned. Great Britain has an opportunity in
these negotiations to add great prestige to the Empire and establish British credit for all time to come. She is the only power up to the present; it me that has made any substantial payment of interest on her debt to this country, and she is the first to enter refounding negotiations in good faith. Her example thus far is sharp contrast with the conduct of the other debtor nations, and throws into sharp relief her own high standard of international morality. The outstanding fact is that Great Britain owes the United States the money. There can be no dispute on that, and there should be no quibbling on how the money was won.—whether it was rejoined to her belligenters, the date of our entrance into the war, and so forth. All those points are interesting success for discussion in themselves, but they should not be permitted to cloud the fact that the British debt to this country exists and ought to be paid. It would be unworthy of the high traditions of the British nation if her envoy should seek to turn the refounding negotiations into such co-related channels. There is no suspicion that he will try to do, and the people confidently look forward to an early settlement of the matter, with all the good feeling between the two countries that is sure to result therefrom.
HELP SPRINGFIELD!
Antioch Baptist church, led by its pastor, Rev. H. C. Bailley, has raised $25 for the Defense Fund of the Civil Rights Protective League of Springfield. This shows some appreciation for the grand work, for all of our people of Ohio, that our good people of that city have been doing at great sacrifice for three or four months past. All of our pastors and churches in Cleveland and the state, able to do so, should "put their shoulders to the wheel" and help because there is urgent need of at between $500 and $1,000 to clear expenses incurred as a result of their fight in and out of the courts of Springfield. While our good people of that city are too proud to ask assistance that is no reason why we should not help them as Antioch Baptist church, its pastor and the editor of The Gazette, here in this city, have done. Send your contribution to Charles L. Jenson, Champion Chemical Co., Springfield, O., or to Arthur J. Riggs, 26 W. Clark St., Springfield, O., and send it promptly.
BARNUM'S FAMOUS SAYING.
Phineas T. Barnum, the greatest showman, years ago, who said people liked to be fooled and that "one was born every minute," advertised a cow or horse, we've forgotten which, "with its tail where its head ought to be," and crowds flocked to one of his side tents, paying the extra charge to see said animal in a stall with its tail in the trough. If Barnum were alive today, he would undoubtedly say that "one was born every second." His famous saying may explain why the long struggle and continued effort to publish another race paper in Cleveland where there is no field for one and where eighteen efforts to do so in the last twenty-five years have resulted so disastrously financially for those attempting it. One would think that experience would be sufficient knowledge for the average person and doubtless was for most of the five or six persons who recently gathered for the purpose of starting another local race publication or trying to blow the breath of life, if only temporarily, into the defunct Advocate or Call-Ohio Pioneer. Four or five attempts have been made here in Cleveland in the last three years, and there are rumors of still another. This latter is what made us recall Barnum's famous saying.
Positively the best appointment Gov. Harry L. Davis made, during its two-year term, was that of Common Pleas Judge Manuel Levine of this city to the bench of the court of appeals. He is "the peoples' judge"; capable in an exceptional degree, broad-minded, sympathetic and humane. The appointment gives greater general satisfaction than any other in many, many months.
Many of our people refer to Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas as "hell" because of their miserable treatment of "Negroes". And they are not so far wrong, either, are they?
Florida wallowed in lynch-murders, last week, in the vexility of Rosemary "Negroes" were killed, but they took three or more white mobsocars with them across he "dark river." That is some consolation.

Why Sent to Georgia?
A Southern Officer Replaces the 24th U. S. Infantry's Regular Commander in Georgia—Dr. Byrd Calls On President Harding for a Square Deal for Our People in the South.
"Chocolate Town" at The Globe
(Special to The Gazette)
Jersey Coy, N. J.—Secretary of War Weeks has sent our 24th U. S. military to Georgia. Why? The country would like to know. Many of us have our opinion, but it would be enlightening if the secretary would place us why. Georgia is no place to meet the wrath and resist the soldiers until they live in. Is this a ruse to torment and oppress the soldiers until they wrath and government, unjust in its death with them, will proceed to harm 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 lawless wretches attempt to pull off anything, it is the duty of these soldiers to strike hard and fast. Death to terror to them and it is as praiseworthy as Georgia to the Georgia "Hill" in 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 counts, will surely resent this velled attempt at cowering the Afro-American soldier. No southern commander should be put over these men. They are unfair and won't be just if an alteration 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 older hate the oppressive and unjust the two officers, should not bring the two officers to president might as well know it now, as later, that he may accept the attitude of the southern white toward our race but our men will never accept it, and we count it a privilege to do all in our power to have the world understand that the southern

News from Hattiesburg, Miss., told how a band of twenty-five masked men raided a passenger train and took from officers a prisoner on route to his trial on a murder case to examine hanging the prisoner's body was hanging from a bridge. The prisoner was a Negro. The twenty-five members of the lynching party were described as wearing masks, but their color was not specified. The affair—only another instance of the mob law south of Mississippi—was not to the credit of the white race as represented in Mississippi.
Alongside the Hattiesburg dispatch, chance put a little story from Akron, O. It was about a woman who quarreled with her husband and then went and jumped off a dock into Summit lake. A laborer working near by saw the attempt at suicide. Though lakes are not very inimitable in January, he ran and jumped in the sawing her life. The rescuer was named Roy Burke, colored. We would say the instruer was very much to the credit of one member of the Negro race as found in Ohio. Then the same day's paper contained another item of interest, about a Cleveland man accused of
attitude is devilish, lawless and wicked, and whenever and wherever an opportunity arises where real Afro-Americans can smite it, it will be done with a vengeance. It is reported that their new commander told the soldiers that they will be treated as Georgia treats niggers." I dare attempt it and let Georgia wake up the mand吊 in "Old 24" and all will know better. Besides if a country should make such a statement he should maritalied and shot. This country should understand now that our loyal citizens are tired fighting for a country and a government that can't be fair towards them. The history of this government, so far as the Afro-American soldier is concerned, is black and unworthy of any nationality. It is little cider, prejudiced minds, and 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 disallow to its people, should not expect loyalty in return. President Harding, your oath compels you to be 'just toward all races or stair guilty of a false oath. President Harding your administration and is unpopular with the majority of citizens of this country. President Harding your duty in duty bound to give our people of the South the same square deal as you give the white people of the South. It is felt, Mr. President, that 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 reach the spirits and courage of the Afro-Americans after he should be removed. We shall be the management of our 24th U. S. Infantry in Georgia, and if it be unjust and prejudiced, those responsible for it must pay the penalty.

assisted by "Jazz" Warren, some comedian himself. Then there is a duet by Leon Diggs and Cecelia Coleman; it is a Hawaiian idea and is backed by a chorus of class, all dressed up for the occasion. Wm. Walker, who does some very good acrobatic dancing, has a novelty that is worth going a long distance to see, which is followed by a turn called "Society," in which the entire group takes part. During this litter, songs are well done by Miss Jones, "Rastus" Brown, Herndon and Coleman and clever Elaine Horn, who does a bit of character work and puts over the blues number, "Lonesome Mamma," with a bug, Oklahoma Wilder O. Stock Co. is the name of the customary afterpiece, with Arnte and Gibson doing the comedy. It is a scream from beginning to end and winds up with great foot-work by the entire aggregation. This is the greatest show of the year, thus far. Do not miss it.
The vaudeville bill at the Globe Theatre is absolutely the best bill gotten together since the opening this season. Each and every one of the five acts are exceptionally good acts. Manages Bob Davis will return and any of the acts will be after seeing the show and say that the bill is not just as represented. For the week of Jan. 15, he has arranged the usual five acts of vaudeville, and among them are such popular names as Jenkins & Jenkins, Adam Cherry Blossom, Bobby Grant, Tate and Jane and Jackson & Fritz. This bill is another fine one but we can highly recommend the same.
housebreaking. The first time he was tried the jury disagreed. He was tried a second time and convicted. Then new evidence was brought forward, tending to prove him innocent, and the plan was to give him a third trial. But Assistant Prosecutor Cassidy asked that the original charges be dropped and the evidence showed that, while the man who did the housebreaking wo-e a mask over his face, his hands proved him to be a white man, whereas the man convicted was colored. This business may not be particularly flattering to the jurors who agreed on the conviction, or to the jury system or Ohio citizens or institutions generally, but it is at least a recall novelty. Can the reader recall and argue that a Negro's color helped him gain justice at the hands of (American) white men?—Cleveland Daily News Editorial, Jan. 8, '23.

PROTEST AGAINST WRONG
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
IS IT OF ANY USE TO CONTEN
D 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 without self-respect 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 our native land, however long the emancipation may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. Boston (Mas.) Guardian.

CHARACTER,
Character, like @ 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-
tarice te every advertiver.

depends upon the co-operation o!
other parishes to help in the growth

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 decision to dismiss a petition of Chas. L. Johnson and J. W. Leigh for a permanent injunction. The decision, which was rather lengthy, required a full half hour for the judge to read. The demurrier admitted the 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 the precedent set by the precedent case, 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, repealed the specifie statute which permea
lishment of an exclusively colored school or separate schools or other institutions of children.

COLUMBUS, O.—(Special.)—Look up your War Savings Stamps of the 1918 issue, bearing a picture of George Washington and green in color. All such stamps are now being redeemed by the Treasury Department of the United States, as they have run their full course of five years. The stamps may be exchanged at any financial institution or postoffice for the new Treasury Savings Certificates immediately. The government, however, will not redeem them in cash until Jan. 1.
Treasury Department figures show that there are $90,000,000 worth of War Savings Stamps held by the people of the Fourth Federal Reserve District. Many of these have been hidden away and perhaps the holders have forgotten about them, so that if you have any recollection of ever buying War Savings Stamps, it would pay you to look them up at this time and see if you own any of the 1918 issue. However, only the green stamps bearing the picture of George Washington are up for redemption at this time.
Beware of Fake Stocks.
War Savings Stamps of the 1918 issue will be accepted at Five Dollars each, face value, in exchange for Treasury Savings Certificates, which will mature five years from Jan. 1, 1923. In the event that the holder of War Savings Stamps does not wish to reinvest with the government.
UNANIMOUS, BUT FOR SENATOR REED.
The French wish the Yankee soldiers to remain in Germany; the Germans wish them to remain; France feels that the presence of the Americans at Coblenz is a visible indication of America's loyalty to the allies. Germany desires the Americans to remain because she feels that America will not countenance the drastic measures proposed by the French. The people of Coblenz dread the Yankees' departure because it will be followed by French occupation. And the

abolished, and that no regulation can 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 white children in school in 1920, 21, and that the enrollment for the present school year would be about the same, but for the fact that 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 children to other districts from the Fulton school district, refusing them admittance in their own district; hat such acts have been done solely because of race or color of said colored children; and that they are unlawful and an abuse of the corporation power of the court and a waste of money of the taxpayers, and an irreparable injury to plaintiffs."

Treasury Department officials are desirous that holders consult with officials of their local financial institute to ensure that they not be lost through bad investment.
The government calls attention to its War Savings campaign by declaring that the sale of War Savings Stamps was the greatest lesson in thrift ever taught to the people of the country. Hundreds of persons who had never before bought a government security or saved money became owners of War Savings Stamps, which they have held for five years, thereby not only keeping intact their principal, but securing a generous rate of interest from the government. The government believes that those persons who have held War Savings Stamps for the full period of five years and have seen them steadily grow from the price paid for them in 1918 to their face value of Five Dollars, will readily exchange their stamps for Treasury Savings Certificates, which will increase in value during the next five years in the same manner as have the 1918 War Savings Stamps.
Treasury Savings Certificates are issued in denominations of $1,000, $100 and $25. costing $820, $82 and $20.50, respectively. If held for the full period of five years, they yield 4 percent, compounded semi-annually, and are free of all state and local taxes. Full information can be secured at the local postoffice.
American soldiers themselves wish to stay because they are having a good time and are living like millionaires on army pay.
The purpose behind the Reed resolution, to recall the Yankee soldiers, is quite obviously to express disapproval of France's determination to collect the German reparations. Despite the disavowal, added as an amendment to the Reed measure, this much toplain. It is the reason the United States indirectly on record as anti-French.

Modern Process Quicker and More
Counterfeiting has undergone a revolution in the last few years, says the veteran detective.
"In the old days all fine counterfeiters had to be engraved by hand," he explains. "If a hat was found willing to undertake such a job he had to be an artist or the magistrate. To finish property a place of value for counterfeiting required from ten, to fifteen months, a method of photocopied printing from photographically prepared plates has made the work of the secret service harder than ever before. Where before it required months to complete a set of a certain plates now a crevice set can be turned out within a few hours. The notes, too, are better and more dangerous than the finest hand engraved note possibly could be, it matters not how辛苦 the workman may have been.
"Sometimes it requires the picking out of the soil, from a can and their comparison, both as to length and thickness, with threads from a nuine bill to establish the fact that a note is really a counterfeit," he continued. "If experts are compended to go to this reason to detect a spurious note it stands to reason that it virtually is impossible for the general public to do so.
"Counterfeit bills as a rule are never clean and crisp. Almost invariably they have been mussed or aged on a plank especially prepared for that purpose. That, of course, makes them all the harder to detect. Counterfeiters also figure on the fact that people generally are not familiar with the characteristics of genuine money and therefore are unable to make any intelligent comparison between the good and the bad.
"Under all circumstances by far the best test of a bill is to examine the lath work. This in all genuine notes is perfect and shows what may be called an elastic relief and unbroken line, which cannot be imitated successfully even by touching up a photo-mechanical plate with a graver. As a matter of self protection everybody should acquaint himself with the features of genuine money by leisurely examination of bank notes and thus make himself competent to pass upon the average bill with reasonable accuracy."
Let a really dangerous bill appear and no means are spared to run it down to the source. Once the maker is found it season is a dismuct task to find the reserve stock awaiting a favorable time to pass it. That is why it is exceptional for a really good couffertet to be passed in considerable quantities.
- secret ser...atives generally are not much afraid of counterfeiters, the veterans say. Usually they are not of high mental caliber, do not resist strongly when placed under arrest and if caught working together generally are eager to turn against one another. Makers of spurious coins, who seldom are to be found nowadays, are held in genuine contempt by the men who are ferreting them out. Usually they are or a low r stratum of criminals than the makers of bank notes, are unreinning and harder... abuse, but easy to run down.
Conscientious Bill.
"Bill had charge of the animal text," said the old circus man, "among his pets was a leopard, the only one we had with the show, and quite enough, too. This leopard gave Bill more trouble than all the rest of the menagerie put together. It was certainly an ugly bug.
"Well, one day, when we were resting downstate, I had come up to town to arrange about some advance business. I was eating my dinner in the hotel when a telegram was handed to me. It was from. Bill, and read: 'This leopard has escaped. Prowling, about town. What shall I do?'"
"What was just like Bill. He had to have explicit directions, even in an emergency like this. He didn't want to make a mistake.
"I immediately wired back to Bill, 'Shoot him on the spot.' I didn't think any more about it until a couple of hours later, when I received another telegram from conscientious, careful Bill, asking, 'Which spot?'"
"Impossible."
Know that "impossible," where truth and mercy and the everlasting voice of nature order, has no place in the brave man's dictionary. That when all men have said "Impossible," and tumbled noisily eitherwhither, and then alone art left, then first thy time and possibility have come. It is for three now; do thou that only, and ask no man's counsel, but thy own and God's Brother, thou hast possibility in the for much: the possibility of writing on the eternal skies the record of a heroic life.—Caryle.

MADE FIRST LINEN COLLAR
Blacksmith's Wife Credited With Discovery of "Bands."
The wife of a Troy, N. Y., blacksmith is said to have been the first person to have made separate colars for men's shirts, says the Popular Science Monthly. This happened in 1825 and men have been suering ever since. Outside of invading the separate colar, this woman and the family washing.
Accordingly she set herself to work making separate colars for her husband's shirts and then made enough to sell outside the home. This innovation attracted the attention of the Rev. Eleanor Brown, a retired Methodist minister, and he, with the aid of the women of his family, went about selling colars. This was in 1829.
The work on these early collar was all done by hand, for the sewing machine had not yet been invented. In those days not more than a dozen colars a day were sold. Their name — "string collar"—was especially appropriate, for they were tied around the neck with a spring of tape attached to each end of the collar. Except the bands, the first separate colars were generally all linen and of two thicknesses, although some were faced with cotton cloth. They were slightly stiffened and had high points extending above the chin on either side.
Advice to Husbands
Get all the dishes on the table at once. It always a woman to have her husband hop up and down while she is eating.
Do not scold if your wife drips the egg on the cean tablecloth as she serves, but tactically present her at Carr.smas with some improvement better suited to the purpose than a young patchwork.
Flavor the morning meal with a bright smile.
If your wife forgets to kiss you as she hurries off to her day's toil do not throw yourself down in the smoking-room for a good cry.
Skullcaps are becoming only to long curly hair and short curly noses. Unless you are of the ringing or retrouse type, never allow your wife to see you in this headgear. Even then it savors of unsureied locks, and you should never appear at breakfast until you have arranged your coifure.
Do not spare the tongs, for strong hair detracts from any man's appearance.
Do not come to the table in a dressing gown. Negligence garments are unsanitary, as they are prone to get in the food. You can easily make some trim morning suits or wash maternals. Do not neglect the little touches that make a house a home, touches that only a man can give. A cluster of pipes on the manne, a pillow cover of tobacco labels, a jar plastered with cigar wrappers, a pair of cues leans on the table in an attitude of careless grace—these give a homelike air. A woman likes her husband to be accomplished. Do not drop your music just because you are married. Cultivate the graces, that your wife may show you to her friends with pride, which is said to be a large element in love.
Dress each night for dinner. You will feel fresher and your wife will think more of you tor it. As it would be extravagant to cook in an evening suit and as the dinner would spoil if allowed to stand, slide dirtly into your cost as you place the food on the table.
Greet your wife lovingly at night, but do not demand a response. Never ask her if she still loves you. Nothing tires a woman more than this.
Old-Timer. Could Hike.
Some of the hiking that has been accomplished in Mexico recently, by various units of the "punitive expedition"—notably the feat of the detail from the 11 Cavity under Maj. Robert Howse—may be compared with earlier records. Howse and his "smoked yankees" covered 511 miles in twenty-one days, living off the country, as they took but five days' rations with them. Much of the way was over extremely rough mountain trails, says Outing.
In March, 1848, First Lieut. John Love, commanding Company B, 1st dragoons, who were acting light artillery, was 150 mile, from hearquarters when ordered to push forward with his battery. The distance was made in four nights and three days and a half. They arrived before Chihuahua at daybreak, after marching all night, were in position on the firing line at 9:30 a. m., fought all day and got no chance to rest until nine that night.
In October, 1862, Stuart's brigade rode seven-five miles in one day when nearly cornered by Pleasanton. On June 30, 1863, the 6th Corps of the Army of the Potomac marched thirty-six miles, a long hike for the infantry and particularly good time for such a large body. Howse made fifty-five miles a day for part of the time. Considering the contrast between Mexico and our Middle States, the dash south from the border shows that their marching qualities have not deteriorated since the Civil War.
One Was Enough.
The minister was shaking hands with a new member of his congregation, a girl fresh from Sweden, and said, cordially, "I would like to know your address, so I can call on you." "Oh," said the girl, innocently, "haf a man."

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 Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 171st General Assembly, in 1894:
The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges they shall be fined not less than fifty dollars, or 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 hundred dollars to the person aggrieved, the court to be recovered in any court of common 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 refuse to the trouble 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
Karl O'Brien of the Law.
Mishied by the foolishly manufactured outfit by the passage of the Beatty hill, a few beacons the Beacon 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 the president presiding judge of the Court of April 8th District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919
Enter the Gazette Cleveland, O.
My Dear Sir: Observing your letter,
to the Beacon-Journal, of this city,
I venture to send you, under a separate
correction, the Ohio Law Reporter of
Feb. 3, last week, the opinion of
the Court of Appeals in the
Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, de-
cided 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
furies, in administering it. Not a
word was said by the Beacon-Journal
when the Forman case was reviewed.
OUR LESSON
We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very governed by others in their own advance 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 M.A. kind, must learn to work out more of his problems along business lines than he has in the past; he must learn as others have learned, that a great deal of the so-called race problems can and must be worked out at the M.A. Dr. R. R. Motton.
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.
