ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since THE SIGNING OF THE MEMORIAL PAYMENTS FOR THE WORK OF THE MUSEUM. Courtesy, Denver (Colo.) Rocky Mountain News, Jan. 10, 1923. The above group portrait is of more than ordinary interest to the old citizens of Cleveland because it shows a former well-known resident of this city—Oliver T. Jackson, who left Cleveland for Colorado about 25 years ago. Since then, he has acted as messenger for nearly every governor of that state, and as a shire issue found time to locate and start the Dearfield townsite, and settlement, seventy-two miles northeast of Denver, the mixed population of which numbers five hundred. When a young man, here in Cleveland, his most marked characteristic was a determination to start something of consequence in a business way. The Vendom restaurant; one of the first and best places of entertainment of "A BODY BLOW"! Colorado's Democratic Governor Rebukes a Delegation, Headed by A Southern "Cracker," Advocating "Jim Crow" Schools. Denver, Colo.—A delegation led by J. L. Hines, former resident of Mississippi and a member of the Park Hill Improvement Association, has been loudest in a demand for separate schools and residential segregation for our people, called upon Gov. Wm. E. Sweet, Mar. 14 in the executive chamber and solicited his aid in getting a resolution through the legislature favoring separate schools for Denver Afro-Americans. In order to give emphasis to his argument, Hines referred to our people in vile and obprobus, terms so characteristic of southern crackers, and told how our people were treated in Mississippi. Gov. Sweet stopped him in the very midst of his tirade, and, looking squarely at him, said: "You go back south of Mason and Dixon's line and handle the school question in any manner you see fit and we of Colorado will handle the question as we see fit. No city in America has a finer class of colored people than are to be found in Denver, and the relations between the races has always been pleasant. I very much doubt whether you could get the legislature to consider such a resolution as you are seeking, and I would not sign it if they did. If you will take the palms to read the constitution of Colorado, you will find my answer to all such questions as you propose." Obituary. Denver, Colo.-C. M. White, supreme commander of the American Woodmen, died at St. Joseph's hospital, March 21, as a result of an operation for cancer of the stomach, Mr. White built the organization from a seven thousand dollar to a million dollar corporation. A wife and two children survive him. The funeral, March 25, from Shorter A.M. E. church, was largely attended and in charge of the local camp of American Woodmen. Prominent members from all parts of the country were in attendance. Both. Gone! Washington, D. C.—Our "first" people here are still in a hubbub over the mysterious disappearance of Dr. H. P Spivey, prominent dentist and instructor in Howard University dental school. He disappeared shortly after his wife instituted suit for divorce against him, naming Miss Mabel Thomas, prominent society girl, as co-respondent. She also disappeared about the same time the dentist did, it is said. Flipper Out With Fall. Washington, D. C. —Former Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper, special assistant to Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall, resigned with his chief, March 4. Friends of Mr. Flipper failed in the effort to get a bill through Congress reinstating him in the army. the kind in Cleveland, was a result of the determination. It was backed by funds of a white friend who recognized Oliver's more than ordinary ability as a caterer. Subsequent to this time and before leaving for Colorado, he took over, for a brief period, a brother's quarter interest in The Cockerill. His many old friends here in Cleveland will be more than plotted to learn of his success as a founder of the town of Pearfield. Colo. and in the service of a number of governors of that state. The picture shows, how to right, Mr. Harry Cassaday, Mrs. Ann L. Ames, executive clerk, Mrs. Cora Riggle, the governor's stonographer; Oliver T. Jackson, messenger to the governor; Gov. Wm. E. Sweet. RON CHARLES W. ANDERSON Appointed Collector of Internal Revenue By President Harding—In A New N. Y. District. Washington, D. C.—One of the last acts of the 67th Congress was the passing of the Mills bill, authorizing the establishment of the Third New York Internal Revenue Collection District, and this was immediately followed by President Harding naming Hon. Charles W. Anderson of New York City, Collector of this new district. Mr. Anderson was, for ten years, Collector of Internal Revenue in New York City, serving four years under President Roosevelt, who made the original appointment, four under President Taft, and two under President Wilson, who finally appointed "Big Bill" Edwards as Mr. Anderson's success- Hen, Charles W. Anderson, so far. Since then, Mr. Anderson has served, under both Republican and Democratic governors as an official of the New York State Department of Farms and Markets. President Harding made a success appointment of Mr. Anderson and the 68th Congress, assembling in December, will be presented the nomination for confirmation. Mr. Anderson, however, took office immediately and will have jurisdiction over collections west of Fifth Ave. and north of Fifth-enth St. He is a native of Ohio. President Harding has made four appointments of Afro-Americans: Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, Minister to Liberia, Africa; Naval officer of New Orleans. La. (Conen) who recently failed of confirmation, and Mr. Anderson. Also a few minor appointments like Municipal Judge Robert Terrell of this city and the postmaster of Wilberforce, O. Maid, $15,000—Coachman, $10,000. New York City—After having been contested, the will of the late Mrs. Anier Booth, widow of Henry P. Booth, founder of the Ward Steamship line, has been admitted to probate after having been settled out of court. The estate is valued at $12,000,000. By the terms of the will and agreement $15,000 has been given to Hannath Morant, who had been for thirty years Mrs. Booth's maid, and $10,000 to Lewis Wynn, coachman and houseman. Both members of the race. and, Mr. Hale Smith, his secretary. The governor is a broad-minded governor, who has the courage of his convictions. What he said to a southern "cracker," some weeks ago who came to him urging state legislators which would inaugurate "Jim Crow" (separate) schools in the state of Colorado. is positive sense of his real democracy. After praising our people of his city and state, an substance he said that he and others in office in Colorado would be able to conduct that state's affairs without the "cracker" prejudiced assistance, and that he would better go back where he came from and nurse his prejudiced ideas. Mr. Sweet was inaugurated governor of Colorado on Jan. 9, 1922. WILL TOTAL $15,600 Cash and Pledges By Sunday—The Playhouse Building Fund Is Growing Rapidly—Let All Help Who Can, Reports made at the meeting of The Playhouse Campaign Committee March 28, at Sterling Branch Library brought the total amount of cash and pledges well over the $10,060 mark.

Mexico City. Mex.—President Obregon and other high officials in the Mexican government brand as utterly false and malicious the statement appearing in the American press (white) to the effect that Mexico has changed her traditional policy of friendship towards Afro-Americans and intends to bar them as colonists henceforth. All good people are welcome, they say. Old Folk's Home For All. Chicago, Ill.—Miss Emile Jane Smith, age 84, daughter of a former Chicago merchant, died, recently, leaving an estate of $1,000,000 to provide another home for aged men and women in Chicago.

Scott, an American, investigation, in his book "Prehistoric Man," and his story, admits that the original type of man was a "Negro." and furthermore advances that the yellow and white types evolved out of the "Negro." He proves this by saying that when a white baby is born its nose is flat and flaring as that of the "Negro." The nose of the Mongolian is also flat. People acquainted with the laws of biology may be interested in this assertion. Whereas the aquiline nose (hooked) often advanced, by careless writers of the Caucasian race, as a characteristic of the white race is a characteristic of the black Australian and Indians.

SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1923 The "Mammy" statue bill passed the U. S. Senate but has not passed the U. S. House of Representatives, the lower house of Congress, and we doubt very much if it ever will. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from Buckeye lodge, Youngstown, O., to attend its eighteenth annual ball and reunion to be held, May 10, in the Elk's dancing gardens in that city. A few hysterical people are still clamoring that the United States must do something for Europe, but not one of them makes a single specific suggestion as to just what should be done. Whether we should send over an army to check the French advance into the Ruhr, or issue a billion of bonds to raise money to loan to Europe, they do not say. All they want is for the United States to do something. Wonder what they would do if they had control of Congress and the White House. Our esteemed contemporary, The Chicago Whip, complains bitterly of alleged injustice being done our race newspapers by the W. B. Ziff (advertising) Co. of that city. Whether or not injustice is being done by that or any other company, it would not be a bad idea for our papers, at least in this section of the country, to "get together" and arrange to take better care of themselves. WHY SO MANY FAIL! The Richmond Planet and the Louisville American Baptist, which like The Cleveland Gazette, retain their original publishers, likewise preserve much of their original journalistic and typographical aspect. N. Y. Age. Of course we cannot speak for our esteemed confreres, Editor John Mitchell of the Planet and Editor Wm. H. Steward of the American Baptist, but we can say for "The Old Reliable" Gazette, and truthfully too, that the fact that we "preserve much of our original journalistic and typographical aspect" is what enables us to pay all of our debts to owe no one a "copper" and save a little for that proverbial "rainy day." We know of a number of our contemporaries that would be much better off, financially and otherwise, were they to stop "aping" the weekly editions of metropolitan dailies and other large weekly publications, and get down to "brass tacks"—use better judgment and "cut their cloth according to the amount." Sometimes ago, our esteemed confrere of the New York Age made much the same comment on an editorial excerpt taken from The Gazette. We were too busy at the time to pay attention to it. MUST CONSIDER SYSTEM AS A WHOLE. Postmaster General New has ordered drastic cuts in the service of the New York City post office as a measure of economy. There is some criticism in the New York papers, as the office is said to be showing a profit of $2,000,000 a month, and they do not take kindly to being called upon to make up the deficit in other branches of the postal service. Such complaints are not well founded. There are some parts of the postal system, notably the rural mail service, that are not self-supporting, while other parts, notably the large city offices, always show a large profit. The city patrons, however, get the benefit of rural delivery of their letters and parcels. It is Mr. New's business to administer the organization as a whole, and in doing so he must cut the garment according to the cloth. Deficits are taboo in the present administration, and it is up to Postmaster General New to see that the expenditures of his department do not exceed the receipts. If it were otherwise, the people of New York City and the other large cities would not benefit as a whole. Suppose Mr. New had not ordered the New York cuts in service and there had been a deficit as a consequence. The taxpayers would have had to make it up in more taxes, and the burden would have fallen mostly on the very people who patronize those offices. Every retrenchment, wherever made in the executive departments, means more or less of a sacrifice for some section of our citizens, but the resultant decrease in taxation more than compensates for the loss. Every move that reduces the cost of government without decreasing its efficiency is sound policy, and has the support of our people as a whole. LESS TALK AND MORE ACTION At the recent N. A. A. C. P. local branch's Sunday afternoon "Pickens" meeting at St. Johns A. M. E. church, this city, one of the audience "heckled" Hon. Harry E. Davis, an officer of the national organization, because he "belonged to a white church." President Wm. R. Green, a member of a local Catholic church (white), who was presiding, very properly ruled the "heckler" out of order. The point ought not to have been raised because the fundamental law of this country guarantees to all religious liberty and our people along with all others must accept and respect it. What the "heckler" could have done, however, and been clearly within his rights, as well as doing all within the sound of his voice a real, lasting favor, was to have asked Pres. Green and the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. when they were going to awaken and strike back at the Wm. Taylor Son & Co. store management for refusing to allow Mr. Green to try on a hat, some months ago, in that store because he was a "Negro." The organization and its president ought to lead a movement to keep our people and as many white people as possible out of that store. Indeed, this should have been started, promptly, several months ago, and would have been in but for Green's passive attitude in the matter. Indeed, he discouraged such an effort. The thing the store management feared most was that an effort to keep our white friends out of the Wm. Taylor, Son & Co. store would be made. This Pres. Wm. R. Green and Welfare Worker Wm. R. Conners, who called that worthless meeting relative to this matter, many weeks ago, know. We CAN do something effective, we CAN strike back—if we will! But with Green and Conners discouraged efforts to do anything, especially since the latter admits "several conferences" with either Manager Strong or Assistant Manager DeAker (from the South), the prospect of the N. A. A. C. P. local branch and its president's doing their clear duty in the matter is not very encouraging, to say the least. However, even this should not estop the rest of our people in this community from taking up and going forward with the matter. EXTENDED The Playhouse Campaign—Splendid Program! Let Every One Help!

Davis gave a lunchon the benefit of the Playhouse Building Fund at her home on Penrose Avenue on Thursday, March 22nd. Mrs. R. R. Cheeks gave a benefit musical on Sunday, March 18th, at the home of her sister, Mrs. C. H. Phillips on Drexel Avenue. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1923. PRIME SPORT NEWS Siki Still Champion. Paris, France.—No world's championship was involved in the Siki McTigue fight at Dublin, Mar. 17, according to Albert Bourdariat, vice-president of the French Boxing Federation, in a statement to L'Auto. In the first place, the official said, the rules require that the adversary champion must challenge formally the McTigue. Secondly, the referee must be appointed by the International Boxing Union. This condition was also unfulfilled. He concluded that Siki may have been beaten by McTigue, but that he cannot lose his title of light-heavyweight champion because the fight was not for the title.

Bill Buckner, White Sox trainer, sends his best wishes and had the following to say of the Giants' new trainer: "Watch that boy, he is one of the best looking young trainers I have ever seen, he actually knows the location of every muscle in an athlete's body, he should prove a valuable man." Irvin and Buckner are both "Afros." DeHart Hubbard Stars.

"Follow Me," declared to be our greatest show since "Williams and Walker," is at The Globe theater, this week. Fifty singers, dancers and vaudeville stars make up the clever production. The attraction is superior in presentation and dance. The act that two of the race's best comedians, in the persons of Jerry Mills and Clifford Ross, are featured in makes the comedy end of this attraction 100 per cent right and with Ernest R. Whitman, Alice Gorgas, Bob Bramlett, Susie Sutton, the popular Leggitt Sisters, Iola Young, "The Follow Me" Harmony Four and others give one of the finest and up-to-the-minute evening's entertainment that could be desired. There is also opera and sweet singing chorus of high calibre and the quartet is different from the regulation production four in that they can sing and they do so, with fine effect. 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 unfinchingly face the sneer or the frown. Joseph C. Manning. 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 sure that we will be in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours. —George W. Blount. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." lete, won individual high point honors, Mar. 17, in the annual Western conference indoor games. Hubbard scored a total of seven points with a first and third. In the 50-yard dash he upset the dope by beating Ayers to the tape in a blanket finish, and placed in the 60-yard high hurdles. Athletes scored five points with a first, but none could come back in the strong competition and capture another place as did Hubbard. A New Mark for Hubbard. All indications point to the chance that Hubbard, the colored athlete, will establish a new world's record in the broad jump during the coming season. He is the present American champion, and has a mark of 24 feet 6 inches. He jumped more than 25 feet at Urbana, only to fall backward and spoil the jump by a foul.—U. of Mich. "Alumnus." Jamaica Kid and Tat Jackson Booked. Springfield, O. — Tut Jackson, heavyweight, and Jamaica Kid of New York, are scheduled as the headliners for a boxing show to be staged here April 4 under the aus- sue of the local Business Men's Athletic club. They are to go fifteen rounds. Bill Tate Vs. Joe Lawson. Washington C. H., O.—Big'Bill Tate, heavyweight, won a ten round bout from Joe Lawson here, Tuesday night, and will meet Tut Jackson here in a similar round bout, April PICKENS RIGHT Prof. Wm. Pickens in his address at St. John's A. M. E. church, Sunday afternoon, told his "brothers and sisters" from the South to go back there if they were not satisfied with the conditions found here and to stop promoting segregation ("jim crowism") in this section of the country; that they came North to escape that very thing, and that they should be very glad to join their people here in an effort to get rid of any that is here or being projected, instead of helping prejudiced whites and "jim crow" Negroes to increase any kind of segregation, and Pickens is right. He should also have told Atty. Wm. R. Green, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and that organization, that they ought to be ashamed of themselves for refusing to fight for Wm. Taylor and Son in the war, for refusing to ago, to permit Green to try on a hat in the store because he was a "Negro." The active membership of the local branch has dwindled to about 25 under Press. Green's leadership. That was the number at its recent annual election of officers. RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." -H. G. Wells. 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. Dr. R. R. Moton. 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. EVER HEAR OF THE ISLAND OF MAHE? Heat There is Oppressive, but Visitors Are "Welcome." The chances are that you have never been to Mahe. The tours of Cook know it not; no P. and O. liners rattle down their anchora chairs in its turquose bay; there are no hotels marked with significant stars in Ea- decker to be found in Mahe. Yet it is quite incorrect to speak of Mahe as cut off from the world. A steamer touches there regularly every two months. Besides that, seven or eight other ships a year put into the bay on one errand or another. Mahé looks like the second act tropical setting in a musical comedy. The sea is a deep sky blue, the land is green as emerald with palms and tropic bush. The waves rise smooth and lazy before creeping over in a sheeny curve to break in cottony white foam. Behind the tail of tall palms rise rocky hills, looking deceptively blue and distant in the damp air. The sky is flecked with soft white clouds, that can bank and darken in the turn of a hand, to blow up one of the sudden tropic rain squalls. Mahé lies almost on the equator, in the largest island of the Seychelles group. The Seychelles are exclusive sort of islands. They have withdrawn as far as possible from all other land-masses. They are about half way between Zanzibar and the tip of British India, in the Indian ocean. There are a few European families living in Mahe; St. Simon Stylites on his pillar had little or no advantage of them in the way of isolation and loneliness. They differ from the good Saint however in that they have no natural love for a hermit existence, and the traveler who has spent his time and efforts in reaching their far away little hamlet is assumed of a royal welcome. They may take away all his old newspapers and magazines and drain him dry of all information and gossip about world affairs, but he will gain a new feeling of importance from the manner of his reception. The mere fact of coming from the outside is the greatest possible distinction. Life in Mahe is hard to bear; the visitor wonders how the inhabitants put up with it. The equatorial heat is frightful; there is no difference between summer and winter in this city on the line. The oppressive damp heat that we know on a few summer days prevails in Mahe 365 days in the year. They speak of a hot season and a cool season there, but you feel that they must have an exaggerated power of drawing fine distinctions. The people sally forth at dawn; at 7 a.m. m. houses are shaded and closed for the day. Until sunset everyone is a prisoner to the heat. Their life is a striking example of the fact that the human organism can adapt itself to almost any environment. COLLECTOR PAYS $900 FOR A POSTAGE STAMP It Is Relic of the First Series Issued by U. S. in 1847. A United States postage stamp which is seventy years old, said to be the only copy in existence, sold in New York recently for $900, a price declared to be the highest ever paid for an American stamp in this country. A New York capitalist was the purchaser. In the Government archives at Washington this stamp was found among a package of dusty documents. It is one of the first series which the United States postal authorities issued, in 1847, after the discontinuance of the practice of individual postmasters pointing their special franking labels. It is a 10-cent blue, on bluish paper, bearing a portrait of Washington. Ordinarily this is not an uncommon stamp, but this specimen was discovered used as a half-stamp and prepaying only 5 cents postage. In other words, the stamp was cut horizontally and paid postage to only half its face value, thus enhancing its hilfatic worth many times over. The sale of the stamp included the joint disposal to the same purchaser, for an extra $450, or a 5-cent black stamp issued in 1845 for the Baltimore postoffice by James Madison Buchanan, then postmaster there. This was the earliest date when stamps were used in the United States. PREHISTORIC MONSTER LOST Bones of Dinosaurus Go Down With Torpedoed Boat. Two skeletons of the duckbill dinosaur were lost to science with the sinking by a German raider of the ship Mont Temple, according to Charles H. Sternberg of Lawrence, Kan., who found the bones in the Red Deer country in Alberta, Canada. The prehistoric monsters were thirty-two feet long and were on their way to the British Museum, Mr. Sternberg said. They filled twenty-two boxes and weighed 20,000 pounds. When the shipments failed to arrive in England an inquiry worst instituted by Mr. Sternberg. He was in charge loss by the Canadian railroad officials. Only One Word.

Jewish and German people especially, particularly their women, are WISE when it comes to making purchases of all kinds. They hunt bargains and know them when they see them. Some of our women are the same way but entirely too many are not. Do not go "down town" and pay a big price for anything you can buy. The Gazette's good advice, for one-half and less than you will pay for it "down town." Emulate the example of the shrewd and thrifty buyers and bargain-hunters of other races.

When it rains or thaws, "Fleming" (Central) Ave. is a disease-breeding swamp, the flifthest street in the city of Cleveland—all admit.

Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir,—Replying to your letter of the 9th, I beg to state that I will forward you a roster of the Senate members, on Monday. I would also advise you that I have taken up the matter of S. B. No. 233 with the chairman of the committee on universities and colleges, to whom the bill will probably be referred. I have also talked to several individual Senators, and I think I can line up the six Cuyahoga County members without any difficulty. But our people thrust the state must call on and send delegations to their members of the Assembly protesting against the passage of the bill, and do this at once. shall be open to all applicants of good moral character and within the limitations of age, determined by the board.

To amend sections 7975, 7976, 7977, 7978, 7979, 7980, 7981, 7982, and to repeal sections 7983 and 7985 of the General Code, relative to the establishment of an institute for the higher education of the colored youth of Ohio to be known as the Lincoln Normal Institute. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio: Section 1. That sections 7975, 7976, 7977, 7978, 7979, 7980, 7981 and 7982 of the General Code be amended to read as follows: Sec. 7875. * * * There is hereby established near the village of Wilberforce, in green county, Ohio, the Lincoln Normal Institute for the higher education of the colored youth of the state. Such institute shall succeed to and be possessed of the property and rights of the combined normal and industrial department of Wilberforce University. Sec. 7976. The government of * * * the Lincoln Normal Institute shall be vested in a board of * * * five trustees to be known as "the board of trustees of the * * * Lincoln Normal Institute of Ohio." The director of education of Ohio shall be ex officio a member of the board. The members of the board by the trustees, by and with the consent of the senate, and shall serve for a period of five years from the date of their appointment. * * * Upon the passage of this act, one member of the board shall be appointed for a term of five years, one member for a term of four years, one member for a term of three years, one member for a term of two years, and one member for a term of one year. At the expiration of the term above provided, each subsequent appointment shall be for a period of five years. The governor shall designate in his appointment, originally made, one member of the board who shall act as the president of the board.

The trustees shall receive no compensation for their services, but shall be reimbursed all necessary and reasonable discharge of their duties out of the appropriation made for the support of the Lincoln Normal Institute of Ohio. Sec. 7978. * * * The board of trustees shall take, keep and maintain exclusive authority, direction, supervision and control over the operation and conduct of such Lincoln Normal Institute as will best assure the attainment of the results desired in establishing education of higher learning for the colored youth of the state.

The expenditure of all money appropriated in carrying out the purposes and provisions of this act shall be made only under such requirements and for such specific purposes as the board of trustees may determine. No money appropriated by the state may be used for any purpose not in direct furtherance and promotion of the object of the Lincoln Normal Institute of Ohio. Sec 7979 * * * No sectarian influence, direction or interference in the management or conduct of affairs of education at such normal institute shall be permitted by the board of trustees, but its benefits shall be open to all applicants of good moral character and within the limitations of age, determined by the board. Sec. 7980. * * * The treasurer of such normal institute shall give to the state of Ohio a bond, approved by the attorney general, in the sum of five thousand dollars conditioned that he shall faithfully discharge his duties and account for any money coming into his hands from the state, or any other source.

Sec. 7981. * * * Each senator and representative of the General Assembly of the state, may designate one or more youths, resident of his county or district, who shall be entitled to attend such normal institute free of tuition. Sec. 7982. * * * All receipts from student fees and deposits of the Ohio State University and of each normal school and university or institute receiving state aid, required by law to be paid into the state treasury, shall be credited therein to the special fund to be appropriately designated by the name of the respective institutions from which the fees are received. The fees be applied to the uses and purposes of such respective institution, and shall be used for no other purpose. Section 2. That original sections 7975, 7976, 7977, 7978, 7979, 7980, 7981 and 7982, and sections 7983 and 7985 of the General Code be, and the same are hereby repealed. A "JIM CROW" SCHOOL BILL. Senate bill. No 233, seeks to do two things: one is to give "jim crow" or separate schools legal status in Ohio, something they have not now; the other is to divorce the Combined Normal and Industrial (state) department at Wilberforce from Wilberforce University and thus rob that institution of any assistance it may be receiving, directly or indirectly, from its close alliance with the Combined N. & I (state) department. We cannot afford to lose the edge "jim crow" Negroes are away back behind the Ku Klux Klan sympathizers (white) who are promoting this bill, just as they did in the recent Springfield "jim crow" school fight which our good people of that city won, just as our good people of Ohio will win this one—kill Senate bill No. 233. But to do this, we must fight hard and act promptly: Calm and send negotiations to the Assembly, particularly members of the Senate write to them and do everything honorable in your power to help kill the pernicious bill in the committee. Never let it reach the Senate if you can possibly help it. Do You Want a Good Job? Washington, D. C.—U. S.

The response of groups, clubs, lodges and individuals to the campaign appeal of The Playhouse for funds for its new building has to date, far exceeded the hopes of the committee in charge. Men and women, prominent in social and civic affairs, have enthusiastically answered the call and are working diligently toward the successful culmination of the drive. This eager response is due in large measure to the success of The Playhouse from its beginning of being a truly democratic community house. All people of the community have equal access to its various facilities. The new building will afford still greater opportunities for extending the democratic principle, for there will be club and lodge rooms for adults and the children will be able to be accommodated because of inadequate facilities. Plans for the new building provide for a large, well-equipped gymnasium for large athletic events, a modern swimming pool, with adjoining showers and lockers, club and game rooms for boys and girls, and shops where groups will be taught handicraft arts, printing, household arts, and games for amateur dramatics. Men's and women's groups will be provided with club rooms and rooms for parties and entertainments. So many groups from the children of five and six years to the adults will be cared for.

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, dews itself the world, they will say. "Negroes 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 in our submission we continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

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.

OUR OHIO CIVIL EIGHTS 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. 19240 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, fees or privilege; is not billed not fixed nor is fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby in the county where 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 trial is in the county where it is offered 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 hill, 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 Eights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours. C. R. Gront.
