About four years ago The Gazette published a little story about the very gratifying success of Mr. Ruxin, of the above named company. That was when he opened the popular drug store at 4210 Central Ave., cor. E. 43rd St. All, who ever entered his store, know the young man and are familiar with his pleasant greeting, his courteous treatment and last, but not least, the fine quality of merchandise at popular prices always secured there. When this young man came to this country, not many years ago, a poor immigrant, without relatives, he worked hard in a factory. Of course he was not satisfied. It was then he began to study night, as well as working days to support himself. He soon entered Western Re- M. bseve College of Pharmacy. Before graduating, he passed the state board examinations and became a proprietor of a drug store (while still a student.) When Mr. Ruxin sold his store on Superior Ave., he opened the beautiful one at E. 43d St. and Central Ave., and now announces the opening of an another, Central Ave. cor. E. 74th St., the formal opening of which will take place, this week Saturday; Feb. 17. "23. Go in and look over his beautiful new store, as he has some bargains as well as souvenirs for you. Mr. Ruxin attributes his success to hard work, well done, and honest business methods. The "Old Reliable" Gazetto wishes him continued and even greater success in his new store, because he surely merits it and knows how to treat All people, without reference to color, creed or race. The Anchor Life Sextette, M. Milton Lewis, leader, gave a successful entertainment in Lorain at Rev. W. H. Smith's Second Baptist church, Friday. Addresses were delivered by Pres. G. L. Cheatham, Supt. A. H. Harrison and Rev. Smith. HON. HENRI W. SHIELDS New York State's Only Afro-American Legislator is a Democrat—Member of Tammany Hall. We are giving above an excellent portrait of the Hon. Henri W. Shields of New York City, who was elected a member of that State's Assembly on the Democratic ticket, last fall. He is our only representative in that august body. Like Sumner H. Lark, Esq., of Brooklyn, N. Y., recently appointed assistant district attorney (assistant county prosecutor). Shields is also a member of Tammay Hall, New York City's strongest political organization. An excellent portrait of Mr. Lark was given in a recent issue of The Gazette. PROTESTS "MAMMY" STATUE! And Tells the Kind of a Monument The "Mammies" Would Have Erected in Their Memory—Hot-Shot From Thomas. Washington, D. C.—Prof. Neval H. Thomas of Dunbar High school, this city, has written a letter to the local Evening Star, protesting against that newspaper's editorial endorsement of the plan to erect a memorial to "colored mammies" of the South in the national capital. After pointing out that the measure is, sponsored by Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, he continues: "We are glad that the white race appreciates the divine virtues of truth and loyalty which the 'black mammy' bad, and has in abundance, but it overlooks the other divine virtue that is here, a divine love for her offspring. She bore her sufferings in patience because she believed that through' them America's conscience would quicken and give her children and her children's children the justice they so richly deserve. My own beloved, mother was one of those unfortunates who had the flower of her youth spent in a slave cabin, and I know the heart of a slave mother, its intense longing for better things for her children. "Every 'black mammy' who looks down from Heaven today upon this disordered world delights to see her beautiful daughters, and granddaughters aspiring and attaining unto the beautiful and the true in spite of their handicaps which the southern spirit which proposes this monument throws around them. She loves to see them reading the best in literature, filling positions of usefulness, taking honors at the best universities in the land, and reigning over cultured homes, not as 'old mammy', but as a dutiful wife and tender mother. "So if the South has such deep gratitude for the virtues of this devoted group from which it reaped vast riches, let it remove the numberless barriers it has gone out of its way to throw up against the progress of the noble Negro womanhood who sprang from these 'mammles'. Democracy is the monument which the 'colored mammy wants erected to her, and not a marble shaft, which at best will be but a symbol of our servitude to remind white and black alike that the menial callings are our place in the scheme of things." SQUIGGINS CASHES IN. One Mr. Squiggins of Massachusetts recently sent to the state government of Georgia a Confederate bond dated 1862, saying that he would like to get the equivalent in cash as he "wanted to fix up the house so he might accommodate summer boarders." The attorney general of Georgia obliged him by sending $800 in Confederate currency, which was precisely what the bond called for. Here is an opportunity for those foreign owners of Confederate bonds to cash in. We hear periodically from those people that the bonds have been "repudiated." The matter has even been brought up in connection with the repayment of the allied obligations. The states that issued the bonds were not part of the United States at that time, and there is no reason why they should be paid in United States currency. Let their owners follow the example of Mr. Squiggins and send them in for redemption to the various state treasurers. Quite likely they would be paid strictly in accordance with their terms—in Confederate money. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Hospital For Our Veterans Of World War Dedicated In The South. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—The new government hospital for our veterans of the World War, located near Tuskegee Institute was dedicated Monday afternoon, Feb. 12. The exercises were held in Tuskegee Institute chapel and 'Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Edward Clifford presided. Among the speakers were Vice-President Calvin Coolidge, Gov. Wm. W. Brandon of Alabama, and Dr. Robert R. Moton. The hospital has been erected at a cost of $2,500,000 and comprises 27 permanent buildings, situated on "THE NATION'S SHAME!" The New "Negro Veterans" Hospital" at Tuskegee Principal Chicago, IL—As Vice-President Coulidge stood at Tuskogee, reciting the achievements of our people in war and peace, as he made the dedicatory speech at the new "Negro veterans" hospital," he should have felt ashamed that he was the vice president of a country, which has done so much to segregate and degrade the group of American citizens for which the "jim crow" hospital was built. The fact that it cost $2,000,000, serves to emphasize the other fact that it is a costly monument to the nation's shame. Our people having, as Mr. Coulidge says, performed the duties of citizenship in peace, and given their lives in war, they should be treated exactly the same as every other element in the mixed population of the United States. No one has suggested a segregated hospital for Jewish veterans or those of other races. The only way now that the people of the United States can prove that the Tuskogee hospital is not a segregated affair, built for the purpose of separating our people from their fellow citizens, and for the express purpose of having all the other elements despise them, is to construct separated hospitals for Jews, Hawaiians, English, Filipinos, French, Indians, Germans, Malays, Polish, Chinese, Russians, Japanese, Spanish and the one hundred and one other races and nationalities which make up our cosmopolitan population, or open the new Negro veterans hospital to all. It is not strange that Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, was enthusiastic; because it enhances his What Oswald Garrison Villard's Magazine Thinks of Its Race-Lines Against Afro-Americans and Jews. Some of Harvard's graduates have responded with a vim to President sowell's denial of the black man's right to share in democracy. Congressman Hamilton Fish, of the Class of 1910, a former Harvard football captain who was an officer of a Negro regiment during the war, writes: "It was good enough then in defense of our country to sleep alongside of our colored comrades, but it seems too much now to ask undergraduates even to live under the same roof with cultured Negroes, although separated by partitions. This is not the spirit of democracy; it is not the spirit of New England. And it is not the spirit of Harvard." One of Harvard's most distinguished graduates of Civil-War days writes that it is "shameful cowardice" to "accept dictation from the narrow-minded advocates of a prejudice which was never reasonable, even when it was prevalent, and which has long since become antiquated, offete, and (I had supposed) litless. . . . If any young man should decline to come because of his prejudice against some possible comrade I should say that the college was well rid of so narrow-minded a youth. If he is logical he will feel obliged even to get out of the very world itself, which he must find open to the same objection." Oswald Garrison Villard And John, Jay Chapman, Class of 1884, went to the very root of Mr. Lowell's mental confusion when he said: "So far as 'living with Negroes' is concerned, the southern students and their parents have no objection to it. They are entirely accustomed to it, and they like the Negro. If any white parent tells President Lowell that he cannot bear the thought of his son's sleeping in a room which abuts on the same quadrangle with a Negro's room, or eating in the same dining hall with a Negro, that parent deceives Mr. Lowell. What the southern parent demands is that some stigma be put upon the Negro. He wishes Harvard to hang out a flag discriminating against the black man." IN UNION BETTY TO STRENGTH a tract of 464 acres, adjoining Tuskegee Institute campus. It provides accommodation for 600 patients, representing a larger bed capacity than any of the 19 hospitals being erected by the government with the exception of the hospitals located in New York City and Milwaukee, which have a bed capacity of 612. The hospital at Tuskegee provides every possible modern facility for the care and cure of our disabled veterans. A number of our prominent citizens also attended the ceremonies. Dr. Robert R. Moton. prestige among the enemies of our people in the United States. His statement, that the hospital "is the greatest achievement of our government for the colored race in America since emancipation" is a JOKE! It shows that he has not read history, that he has no conception of democracy, that he is a man wholly without vision and that he is satisfied with segregation. He did not speak as a man who felt he had within himself the power of American Citizenship. No. Principal Moton, the hospital is NOT an "achievement" but another curse which caste has placed upon our citizens of this caste-cursed country. There is the point. Harvard, so long as it follows President Lowell's lead in this matter, is accepting and preaching the southern doctrine that every man with Negro blood in his veins is inferior to every all-white man. It is not true; Booker Washington, on whom Harvard was proud to confer an honorary degree in 1896, and a score of other Negroes have stood out among Harvard graduates. There is a kind of boarding house snobbery in Mr. Lowell's policy which fits all the distinction which has been Harvard's. In fairness to Harvard it must be added that it is the very glamor of her tradition which has exposed her to so much public attack. From the days when Robert Gould Shaw, of the Class of 1860, marched to his death at the head of the first Massachusetts Negro regiment in the Civil War, Harvard and Harvard men have stood out in the struggle to make real the implications of the Emancipation-Proclamation. Other colleges, like Princeton, to their shame, make no pretense at democracy, and bar Negroes altogether. Harvard still welcomes Negroes to most of her dormitories and eating-halls, as do most northern colleges. It is only in the freshman halls, where residence is (for white men) theoretically compulsory there, is not room enough for all. that the color line is drawn. But to draw it anywhere is to raise the black flag of race discrimination. You do not have to haw a man in the face for more than one year to make plain your contempt for him. Harvard owes it to herself, to a magnificent New England tradition, to a American democracy to refuse to make any racial discrimination, anywhere, at any time. —Editor Oswald Garrison Villain in "The Nation," N. Y. City. INJURED AT A FUNERAL LIMA. O.—Twelve women were recovering in a hospital here, recently, from injuries sustained when more than a score of mourners at the funeral of Mrs. E. B. Bailey were plunged into the basement of St. Paul's A. M. E. church. The concrete floor in the vestibule broke through. A space of 6 by 15 feet gave way under the weight of members of the Court of Calanthe, who had participated in the services. Mrs. Jos. Vaughan sustained a broken leg and Mrs. Rose Randall's ankle was cut by the jagged concrete, Anna M. Thomas sustained severe cuts on the legs. Others injured were Mrs. Alice Lowery, Mrs. M. Burns, Mrs. Clara Mosler, Mrs. Thos. Mackwee, Mrs. Anna K. Bradley, Mrs. Lucinda Byrd, Mrs. Belle Brady, Mrs. Nancy Wilson, Mrs. Ethel Pody. The accident happened a few moments after the body had been carried out of the church and as members of the choir were re-entering the building to get their wraps. eee oO || Rememter | OPENING SOUVENIR Rete | | | satuapay SALE OF THE © | gatumay | i!

SATURDAY, Feb. 17, 1923 ‘Afro-American ministers of Knox- ville, Tenn., refused Evangelist Billy Sunday’s invitation to a “Jim- crow” mass sean Gooa! —ilii— Some local Negroes, with ap- parently Uttle or no self and race Fespect, have started a “jimcrow" skating night (Friday) at COLOR- LINE Luna Park. Negro skaters are charged 50 cents, the whites 35 cents, and there are extra charges for the former. All of our local organizations, including our ministers’ unions, ought to start In at once to discourage Col- or-line Luna Park attendance up- ‘on the part of our people. Col. A. D. Watts, commissioner of revenue of North Carolina, has resigned. He admitted immoral re- lations with a Negro woman from his home town, Stateville, N. C., who was found under a couch in his room at Raleigh. For 40 years, Watts has been a leader of the Democratic party of his state and in the heated campaign, several years ago, to disfranchise the Afro- American of North Carolina cov- ered that state railing against our People and painting sordid pictures of “social equality” and “Negro domination.” “Twas ever thus, in that section of the country. : Sit — BULLYING THE SMALL Roy The league of nations is in a great state of mind over the action of Lithuania in overruning Memel, and for the first time in its brief his- tory has threatened the use of force. Article 16 of the league covenant is cited as authority for taking meas- ures against Lithuania, Simultan- eously with that gesture comes the announcement from the league counell that the situation in the Rhur will not be interfered with. ‘The British fleet 4s rapidly assem- bling in the eastern Mediterranean ready for action against the Turks. It will be interesting to await the attitude of the league on that mat- ter. To the iinds of the league leaders, there are wars and wars. They will interfere when it suits their own selfish purpose to do so, and refrain when their own country’s welfare dictates that course. Ap- parently the plain language of the league covenant has no bearing on the matter at all. CAVILLING CRITICTISs. When the editor of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce is not scold- ing the Harding administration, he fs damning it with faint praise. Holding his job as an official on the Federal Reserve board, the seemli- ness of such procedure is in ques- tion. Belittling what has been ac- complished under the budget, and to offset President Harding's state- ment that the budget system may be hailed as a great accomplish- ment, he declares that the balancing of the budget is not so great a cause of congratulation as some at first sight may believe, because Great Britain has unexpectedly paid us $100,000,00 on her debt to the United States, that very large col- lections of back taxes have been made, and that the receipts from the tariff have been unusually great. It s to be wondered if Great Britain would have made this payment had the Democratic party continued in power, as the editor of the Journal desired. Would the Democratic Party have collected those back taxes and thereby admitted its mis- take in not collecting them in the first place? Certainly the Demo- cratic tariff would not have yielded the unusual receipts which were realized during the closing months of 1922 from the Fordney-McCum- ber tariff law. Naturally no budget system could be successful if the party in power did not work to make it so, or if its policies were in opposition to those of the budget administrators. The cavilling of the Journal of Commerce editor comes with poor grace. Williis Will Aid Battalion, Washington, D. C.—Senator Frank B.

But IT has had so very many "pointers" (and kicks) and has done NOTHING really worth white, we have lost all hope of its ever becoming active enough to do anything like it, under its present leadership. Its president, (Atty. Wm. R. Green) was efused the privilege of tying on a hat in Wm. Taylor, Son & Co.'s store here in this city, many weeks ago, and even THAT did not awaken the organization to action. Is there any hope for it, as now controlled? Lord, have mercy! The apprehension of those sixty-six Afro-American school-boys and girls, and their appearance in Juvenile Court of Cleveland, on a recent Monday, and the consequent revelations in the daily press of the city, presents a problem that has been steadily growing worse here in Cleveland in the last six years—ever since the influx from the South began. There is no use trying to deny this fact, but it will be ever so much better for all concerned to problem square in the face and begin to arrange to afford all the assistance possible to better the distressingly sad conditions. Our people, led by the school-board and our leading citizens, should stop "quibbling" over "side-issues" in connection with the problem and address themselves directly to the miserable conditions referred to with a view to helping better them at once. It is a problem that reaches, in its finality, right into many homes in wards 11 and 12, particularly, and it is there that parents, and others in charge of children, should do a work that apparently has been too many to manage. The moral status of all of our people in this community is being lowered by the shocking conditions revealed and, therefore, makes it absolutely incumbent upon our local ministry to show an activity in its efforts to help solve this problem such as it has never indicated in the past. HUH-I CAN'T PUT A DENT IN THIS MEAT-WOW- WAITER-OH WAITER! THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND. O. SATURDAY, FEB. 17, 1923 PRIME SPORT NEWS PRIME SPORT NEWS PRESS STORIES THERE WITH THE WALLOP. Drawn for this paper By Fisher Joe Beckett-Then Siki Joe Beckett—Then Ski. Paris, France.—As soon as carpenter is finished with Joe Beckett, that is to say, after May 11, he will be ready to Ski, Ski, and Francois Descamps to LAuto, Tuesday of this week. M. Broullet, Ski's manager, was pleased with the amnesty declaration of the boxing federation. Ski is now exhibiting in Cecho-Slovakia. Sikl Is Reinstated. Paris, France. — Battling Siki, who was barred by the French boxing federation from appearing in the ring for nine months and deprived of the championships he won by defeating Georges Carpentier, was on Tuesday of this week, reinstated by the federation and his championships restored. Siki's restatement came as a result of a general amnesty proclamation issued by the federation in celebration of its twentieth anniversary. (Sounds nice, doesn't it?) With Sikl's reinstatement goes the return of his championships (champion light heavy-weight pugilists of the world and champion heavy-weight, of Europe) won when he defeated France's idol (fighter), Georges Carpentier. All this was the result of Mons. Diagne's backing of Sikl in his suit against the boxing commission for its barring him from the ring and "taking" away from him the championships he won because he (Sikl) made a fool of himself and struck a fellow in another boxing bout in which he was seconding a French fighter. This the commission did without the championship but they had the matter under consideration. Furthermore, Mons. Diagne and Sikl "had the goods" on Carpentier, his manager and the "commish" with their threat to expose the fact that the first one or two had it all framed up for Sikl to be beaten in that fight with Carpentier, but Sikl "double-crossed" them. They could not afford to have this charge proven, for the good of the fight game in France. It would have killed it. So they— Western Super-Feature Produced With All-Colored Cast. "The Crimson Skull" is the Title of The Boley made picture at the Globe Theater, Nex Week. "The Crimson Skull" is the Title of Did you ever see an All-Afro-American city? Boley, Oklahoma, with an entire population of our people furnished the background for "The Crimson Skull," the Norman Film Mfg. Co.'s super-western photoy. It will be a revelation to our average theater-goer to see scenes ANITA BUSH from a real Afro-American city, Boley is a thriving municipality, owning its own electric light plant and modern water works. It contains two modern and up-to-date cotton gins and one of our few national banks. At a tremendous expense, the producers of "The Crimson Skull" transported car loads of props and their leading characters to Boley and erected a temporary studio for the making of this picture. No expense was spared to make it a picturesque picture of the city, with lifelike props added attraction of a cast composed of our actors and actresses who could ride and shoot in true western style. By making this picture in Boley, the producers were accorded privileges and co-operation that could not be secured for this class of picture in any other place in the United States. Real the boxing commission, Carpenter and his manager—had to capitulate to Mons. Diagne and Siki. This is the inside "dope" and it is correct, too. Siki and Diagne are from Senegal, the latter representing his country in the French House of Deputies. Both are Senegalese. Fireworks at Foster Banquet. Andrew ("Rube") Foster, president of our National Baseball league, stopped in Cleveland, last Friday, and was banqueted by fans led by Phil Fears and Jim Taylor, ex-manager of the Tate Stars team. Samuel E. Woods acted as toastmaster and some interesting speechman, men J. E. Reed and Tony Skrunko, directors of the local company, told of its financial difficulties and outlook for the future. Jim Taylor told of the fine club he had built up here in two years' time, explained his position on several points at issue between him and the local Tate management, and spoke of his plans for having a local club in the western league. The real fireworks of the evening were furnished by Russell Cross, a director of the Tate Baseball league, who organized the organization despite strong difficulties encountered and then launched a broadside at the Chicago "caz," telling of Foster's disinterestedness in the local company's struggles even though a member of his league, and gave several instances of the president's mistreatment in regard to scheduling players, players' treatment and his conduct toward park-owned clubs. "Rube" spoke entertainingly of his successful rise in baseball and said that he controls the park-leases of three clubs in his league, mentioned the league paid out in salaries $166,000 to touch on the live subjects mentioned such as schedule, booking percentages paid, etc. Toastmaster Woods "poured oil on troubled waters" and called for a spirit of conciliation from Foster and local parties. After the banquet a fine spirit of amity was shown by all. Afro-American cowboys were secured in Boley. These were ranchers who owned their own mounts and could ride like the wind. Their dare-devil riding and handling of the six-gun prove them excelled by none. "The Crimson Skull" is a virile breath of the golden west. In one scene, over a thousand head of cattle are shown being rounded up by our cowboys and "rustled" by "The Skull" and his gang of outlaws. Anita Bush, "little mother of our drama," is featured in this picture and proves that she is as versatile on the screen as she is behind the footlights. Co-starring with her Lawrence Chenault, play a triple role. His masterful portrayal of three different characterizations proves him one of our really great actors and in his part of Bob Calem, foreman of Bar L, he has scored the greatest hit of the his career. Calem, in this picture and proves that he can do thrilling stunts that a two-legged man can't do. With nothing but his trusty wooden leg to defend him and the sheriff's daughter against "The Skull" and his gang of "Hooded Terrors" he fought their way to freedom and did a piece of wild riding that proves he is a marvel. His usual funny stunts proves him a natural comedian. Bill McCain, the american world's champion bull dogger, does one of the greatest trained riders and ropers that the west has produced and does stunts that call for real skill. As the sheriff's deputy, he helps solve a baffling mystery. "The Crimson Skull" tells the story of a band of desperate outlaws and their depredations on a peaceful little western city. They ran into the sheriff's trap and the entire gang was captured. See Bob Calem bring the courage of these desperate criminals with the Skull be reward and the hand of the girl he beat. Don't miss this smashing six real feature of the "old reliable" Globe Theatre. In addition to the foregoing, there will be the usual five great acts of vaudeville, all at the regular admission prices. Our advertisers want you trade.

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 the business lines than 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.

The Ohio Supreme Court "Set The Pace" Many Years Ago Which All the Courts of "The Buckeye State" Must Follow—Our Greatest Victory Since the War of the Rebellion! OHIO SUPREME COURT QUOTED "Counsel for the defendant have raised some other questions which can be quickly disposed of," said the court. "One is that segregated schools are not, illegal of themselves. This is true. When a district is populated solely by one race, the school is necessarily a school for children of that race. But this is a natural result not brought about by manipulation. Another contention is that no compulsion is used with respect to colored children in the Fulton district. That the permission extended to some does not amount to compulsion as to others to whom such permission is denied. That is pure sophistry." OHIO SU COURT Against "Jim They Are Unlaw Inju Springfield, O.—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 Gelger said it held that inasmuch as the legislature had, in 1887, repealed the specific statute which permitted the establishment of an exclusively colored school, that separate schools for colored children in Ohio have abolished, and that no regulation can be made under any now existing statute which does not apply to all children, irrespective of race or. Continuing, the court said that "in the Fulton school district there are about three hundred colored and two hundred white pupils who were enrolled in said school in 1920-21. Don't Throw It to a Friend The decision then went on with the statement that "when children are required to attend school and all schools but one are closed to certain of them, it is idle to say that there is no compulsory discrimination with respect to such children. "The situation is not saved by the fact that white children may attend the Fulton school. The fact is that none do, and none are reasonably expected to do so. Much is made of the fact that three white children of one family attended there one day. It is claimed that they would attend now if not prevented by threats. But there is nothing but heresy evidence to support this claim. Neither the children nor their parents were called to give their testimony. Even if true, one sporadic incident of this character would not alter the substantial facts of the situation. It is only by severe straining and twisting of both the law and the evidence that the claim of the board through its superintendent and others could be held legal. However unpopular this decision may be to many, this court cannot do other than render judgment with the law and the evidence as it sees them." After, reviewing the facts in the case relating to enrollment of colored and white pupils, the employment of Negro teachers, the decision called attention to the fact that while no formal action was taken to make it a "jim-crow" school, two of the five members of the board of education "frankly admitted that it was to be in fact an all-colored school." The decision further states: "It was recognized that a separate school could not be established lawfully by resolution of the board, but the same thing was to be accomplished by creating a state of emotions and a general situation which would necessarily result in an all-colored school. In bringing about this condition, the board was actuated by a sincere move in behalf of the schools public, and especially in affording an opportunity to colored persons to become teachers in the public schools." At a later point the decision came. "The design of the board was to adhere closely to the letter of the law while violating the spirit. What could not be done directly was to be accomplished by indirect methods. A striking illustration of the design is furnished by Central Junior High school. Both white and colored children from Fulton school enrolled in this school, but all the colored were sent away and all the white retained. It was contended that this was due to the crowded condition of the schools and that many white children were sent away. The evidence shows that all children without segregation attended Central Junior High school from other districts, were returned to the district in which they resided with the single exception of white children residents of Fulton district."

They count not the cost, who fight the good fight. And unflinchingly face the sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

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 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. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to ex- Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the counties in which such assaults occurred, five hundred dollars; or, if the in- jury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if it such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 152. 8.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a 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 he has incurred, until such children are of legal age, or attributed 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 adult person. If such person shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, not be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6). Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempt ing to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) 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) An order from the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate power upon the request of a hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob.

(93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers, of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, 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 ninety days, or both. When the owner violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Boca Raton 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: Editor, the Gazette Cleveland, O. Seasonal Star: Observing your letter in the Bear Sir: Observing your letter in the Bear Sir: Observing your letter venture to send you under a coverate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co.vers. 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 Journal reviewed
