A New Race-Enterprise Fighting Trustees of Color MERCER, PA.—Relatives of the late J. F. Nicholls (white), of Fredonia, have filed a petition here for the appointment of a guardian for the estate, which is valued at $200,000. Under the will Mrs. Mary Snyder, a nurse, of Pittsburgh, is to care for the widow until her death, after which the estate goes to the nurse, "subject to the advice" of L. B. Redden, a well known Afro-American of Battle Creek. Mich., who is to receive $150 a month as long as he lives and a bonus on investments. No mention was made of other relatives in the document. It transpires, that during the lifetime of the late Mr. Nicholls, he employed Mr. Redden as confidential secretary and advisor, and in all matters of importance Redden's advice was implicitly relied on by his rich employer. Nicholls died in a Pittsburg hospital. Last month, of pneumonia. FLORIDA OUTRAGES It is to be hoped that public indignation throughout the rest of the United States will continue to vote its protest until Florida and all other Southern States where the system still prevails will be compelled to abolish the convict leasing system and the whipping post. The recent death of Martin Tabert of North Dakota, who was whipped to death by a guard in a lumber camp in Florida, has exposed a condition the like of which has not been surpassed anywhere else on earth and which might have continued indefinitely in the parents of Tabert in not possessed the means and the determination to get at all the facts. Tabert was a youth of good family but had become stranded in Florida. While hunting a horse, he stole a ride on a freight train and was arrested. His offense was in violation of law, and he should have been duly punished. But due punishment in Florida seems to have an almost limitless significance. He was sentenced to pay a fine or be imprisoned at hard labor for several months and was immediately leased to the owner of a lumber camp. When his parents sent money to pay the fine, the money was returned to them. He was put at work in a swamp where he worked in water from ankle to waist depth, and, when he could not do as much work as the boss thought he ought to do, he was whipped with a heavy leather lash. The whippings were repeated and increased in intensity until Tabert died. The facts were disclosed long ago, and public discussion has finally compelled the state legislature to give the matter attention, though there are some indications that Florida hopes the discussion will cease, when the matter may be dropped and the system go on as before. If the Tabert (white) case were an isolated case—merely an offense due to the deprivation of one man—the matter might be permitted to drop, but the evidence indicates that there have been numerous cases of whipping men and women to death in order to force others to do as much work as the contractor thinks they ought to do, and the brutality seems to bear all the characteristics of that practiced by the unsparkable Turk in treatment of the Armenians or of the Cossaks in the treatment of serfs. Nor is whipping in Florida confined to convict camps. Last year a man who attempted to publish a Republican newspaper at Winter Park, Florida, was so severely beaten that he was confined to his bed and home for several weeks. The chief trouble with Florida, as with most of the South, is that it is a one-party section, and there is no check on evils in management of public affairs. Working upon the prejudices of the people by appeal to old-settlement differences, political bosses throughout the South maintain themselves in power, and there is little chance for the eradication of evils such as now exist. Public funds are squandered, public improvements are neglected, public education is very limited, and exercise of the voting franchise is greatly restricted. Denial of personal rights is, not limited to the race but is inflicted upon helpless whites as well. While the evidence does not show that Tabert was singled out for severity of treatment because he was from the North, it is worthy of remark that the evidence shows similar treatment of other northern men in convict leasing camps but no mention is made in the dispatches of such treatment of southern men. That, however, is not the question. Whether there be discrimination against northern men or not, the condition that has been disclosed in Florida presents a national scandal which precludes the United States from undertaking to correct gross evils elsewhere in the world while we have such a deplorable and barbarous condition existing at home. The shame is not upon Florida alone; it is upon the entire United States. On last week Thursday evening, the congregation of Antioch Baptist church voted to employ Rev. H. M. Lowrey, to officiate as pastor during Rev. H. C. Bailey's absence on an extended vacation, thus refusing to accept his second resignation in recent months. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Nine Killed In A Florida Convict Camp In Recent Months. The Camp The Property of a Florida State Senator Many Other Convict Camps in That And Other Southern States Are But Living Hells! TALLAHASSE, FLA., May 8. Nine Newcombs serving at the convict camp of State Senator T. L. Knabb in Baker county met their deaths during last year, six of the dying since last September, the joint testative committee investigating convict camp brutalities was told today by Mrs. Vilma Franklin, a social worker of Glenn S. Mary, in Baker county. Mrs. Franklin declared she had conducted a personal investigation into the records which showed that a coroner's inquest had been held over each and that death, according to jury verdicts in each instance, was "due to natural causes." The witness was on the stand for more than two hours during the inning session of the hearing and will resume her testimony. Two members of the committee jumped to their feet and Senator Knabb swerved around in his chair when Mrs. Franklin related that Mary Shelfield, a Negro woman, and her daughter, said to have been about 20 years of age, were shot and killed. Wednesday, by Warden Thompson at one of the Knabb camps. Mrs. Shelfield was to have been used as a witness before the committee. Thompson is now in a hospital, having been cut by the woman. A jury did not do an even better job. Buried in a Mid Hole. Mrs. Franklin, woot down a list she had read of the various deaths, calling each by name and related how they were buried. One Negro, who she said she has been unable to locate and relatives. CHIEF KHAMA Of The Boehanna People is Hailed a Gentleman—Whites and Blacks Throughout South Africa Pay Tribute to This Great American Christian Chief. HAMPTON, VA. D. McK. Malcolm, acting chief inspector of native education for Natal, South Africa, recently sent from Pietermaritzburg to Hampton Institute the following statement concerning Chief Khama, whose death has been mourned alike by whites and blacks throughout South Africa and whose Christian life has been referred to again and again by missionaries and government officials: "He was chief of the Bamangwato section of the Boehanna people, resident in the Boehmanaland Protectorate of South Africa. He lived to a great age and has been an outstanding figure in native life for many years. He was baptized at the age of twenty-five, on May 6, 1862, and he never looked back." It is significant that two men, writing of the same man, and that man a black man, should stress exactly the same point to show the character and attainments of their subject. Khama may lay claim in the history of South Africa to be the greatest of native christians. His whole life of over ninety years, at least his whole public life, and that extended over a period of half a century—was an example, not only to black men, but to white men also, of what loyalty, sincerity, and above all, Christianity can accomplish in the heart of man. "Khama lived far less to the influence of European civilization than to something which was born with him long before civilization was known," him and his people. "I was that indisable thing, almost lacking in name, which we call 'character.' Khama had it, his life expressed it, his actions indorsed it, his death places upon it the stamp of reality." Five indictments in Lynching Case Columbia, Mo. The first arrest in the investigation of the Lynching of James T. Sott, Miro-American, here early Apr. 29, came. May 28 when George Parks, a local contractor, was taken into custody charged with taking into the county jail implements for use in rebel- ing a prisoner charged with a felony. The county grand jury began its investigation of the Lynching on that day. Five indictments were re- turned. May 31 by the special grand jury, investigating the Lynching. The names of those indicted were sup- pressed pending their arrest. ```markdown ``` COPY FIVE CENTS hter! A Mud Hole!

She said the body was later exhumed and buried in a family cemetery. Another youth, she said, was given a swiping by one of the wardens and died two or more hours later sitting upright in his chair. She have in doubt the alleged brutalities administered to Paul Revere White of Washington, D. C., and said she was instrumental in bringing about the investigation and the rescue of the youth from the residence of Sister Knabba, where he had been taken after he was unable to do any more work. Mrs. Franklin told of writing to the boy's mother in Taunton, Mass., and to his brother, Clarence, who is employed in the internal revenue bureau in Washington, D. C., and how the brother came to die. She described the youth "sticking like a corpse" and deserved in her opinion if he had not been removed from the camp he would have died in two weeks. "Gentlemen, I can tell you more," declared Mrs. Franklin; "but we people of Baker county got so aroused over the imported brutalities at the Knabb camps that a committee was named to make an investigation. Let each of these men tell what they saw, don't depend all on my word. Their report will start here." The Florida senate today adopted a resolution by Senator Turnbull calling upon the administration officials who supervise convicts to abolish corporal punishment as an experiment, and if the experiment proves successful "to forever abolish it in this state." This is a joke! As a headliner, for next week, The Globe has engaged Sara Martin, the Okry record star, who has taken the country by storm with her "Sugar Blues." She will appear in person and will sing some of her popular numbers, as well as some which have not as yet been heard. The addition to Miss Martin, The Globe has four other splendid acts, which cannot help but satisfy even the most critical theatre-goers. Manager Bob Davis assures all, his patrons that they will get 'their money' worth or he will gladly refund them their money; if after leaving the theatre, any one will dare say that the show was not "there." **Coning. Coning. Coning!** With the Harvey Greater Ministries, that come to the Globe theatre, for one week, commencing Monday, May 21st, our greatest minister company, that recently appeared here at the Masonic auditorium, is Whitney Viney, a talented performer and "home boy" who acts as interlocutor, or what is known as "middle man," and stage manager for Mr. Harvey. He fills the bill to perfection, too. A few years ago, Viney was with "In Old, Kentucky," being one of its plantation singers and dancers. The actor who played "Uncle Ned" was taken suddenly and had to be sent to a hospital. The manager was in a quandary, when Viney stepped up and asked if he might be given a trial at the port, which was done. He made such a "hit" that he was kept in the part of the balance of the season, and often received more favorable comments than any of the actors in the host. Some —ess critics knew that he played the part so true to life that a person would think they were looking at a real actor, but not criticizing that it was a young American playing such a prominent part so well. Mr. Viney is a Christian resident and will be among the troops who will undoubtedly be large numbers. 2019 OHIO AND ILLINOIS: Telegrams. Harrisboro. Pa. 10 P. M. May 7 Hon Harry C. Smith.

The South's chain-gang system and con- viet camps are peonage in its worst form, ‘The Democrats say they want tc hand: Muscle Shoals over to Henry Ford, as that would eliminate him from the Presidential possibilities. He could scarcely seek the Presi- dency if he were a party to large contracts with the government. The Democrats are the ones who should look with the greatest apprehension on the Ford specter. If he should run as an independent candidate, his strength would be drawn chiefly from the Democratic ranks. Ford economics and those of Democratic origin are very similar, but vastly different’from the fundamentals of Republicanism. “There is no other explanation,” says Republican Chairman Adams “ot the marvelous improvement of conditions in this country except the fact that during the past two year: there has been vigorously prosecuted @ program of public economy, tas reduction, constructive legislation, constructive administration.” That, in a nut shell, is the reason why ev- ery voter should give allegiance to the Republican party.

The interest rates paid by the British government on its borrowings are dropping all the timb, and at no distant date it ‘will be able to borrow money at a less rate than is being pafd the United States. When that time comes the principal of the American debt can be rapidly reduced. All of which testifies to the soundness of the debt settlement, both from the American and British points of view. ait —— McOORD EXPOSED! Prof. Chas. E.

PERACE EXPLOSIVES. Those pacifists who have been making a great display of statistics concerning the amount of Federal income expended for the purposes of war, past and future, might find some interesting reading in a recent statement issued by Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work, showing that during the calendar year 1922 there was a 16 per cent increase in the quantity of explosives sold in the United States as compared with 1921. These explosives were not sold for war purposes. They were sold for blasting rock in stone quar- ries; for breaking coal loose in mines; for removing obstructions in the way of raflroad improvements, and for excavating for other con- structive enterprises. The extreme Pacifists who are opposed to all plans for national defense and who are not always very scrupulous in the manner in which they use statis- tics, would very likely desire to rep- resent the huge expenditure for ex- plosives as one feature of expendi- tures for wars. The 431,700,000 pounds of explosives used in 1922 as compared with 372,100,000 pounds the year before constitute’ a very tangible evidence of the increased prosperity and renewed confidence int the future of economic conditions in the Uniteg States. The increased use of powder under a Republican administration Is not an indication of destructiveness but rather of con- ‘structivencss: ‘THE EXODUS CONTINUES ‘The U. 8. department of agricul- ture has been studying conditions in farming districts of the South. It finds that our people in very large numbers are leaving the fields for better chances and un easier exist- ence, in the north. Thirteen per cent (or 32,000) of our farm-hands in Georgia have moved north in the last twelve months and @ large abandonment of acreage is reported. From South Carolina 3 per cent, and from Florida 2 per cent (or 22,750) of our total farm population has left. Alabama and Arkansas have lost 3% per cent (or 15,000) each since the last crop season, while sim- Mar conditions are found generally through the southern states. While this “wholesale” immigration is un- doubtedly lowering the status of our people in this section of the country, it is improving, and will continue to improve, that of those remaining in the southiand, and, on the whole, is @ sood thing for all concerned. Come On, Southern Brother! NEW YORK CITY.—President Eugene R. Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation announced.

Besides setting down the opposition in or- der in four innings, he sent eleven batters back to their bench via the strikeout route. In the third frame he fanned the Tires in one-two-three order.

Howard had two entries in field events —Jack Young and Thomas Anderson. On Friday, An- derson threw the hammer, the sec- ond largest throw of the meet, but fouled by stepping out of the ring. The rain on Saturday held all dis- cus records down end both Youne and Anderson failed to place. Both made a good showing.

For the benefit of our long-time friend, Assistant County Prosecutor George Hansen, the writer wishes to add that a careful reading of the ‘Act makes perfectly clear the fact that the Legislature (and the writer who introduced the bill) did have in mind all case’ where persons were injured or lost their lives as a re- sult of the county, or any part of it, failing to afford the protection eft! zens, or others, are entitled to un- der the law. Furthermore, we want to assure both that any future attempt to re- peal or amend the law will be met With even greater opposition than Gid their punitive effort to amend it, made in the recent State Assembly. Also that there is not one of the 350,000 Afro-Americans in the state of Ohio, as well as thousands of others, who will not fight for an op- portunity to help dig the political grave of any man or woman who will dare to tamper in the slightest with Ohio’s Mob Violence or Anti- Lynch-Murder law. With the Congress and a number of northern states trying to enact a similar law, and every southern Governor, who has had the nerve to do so'in the last ten years, rec- ommending legislation of the same Kind, it is positively silly for ‘Tho- baben or any one else to deliver themselves of such a bid for the support of the Ku Klux Klan.

Stevens of Philadelphia, a member of the Pennsylvania legislature, has secured the passage, in his branch of that state's assembly, of an antilynching bill, like the Dyer bill, is based upon the Ohio Mob Violence Act. He expects the bill to pass the senate and we sincerely trust that it does. That will place the "keystone" state in line with the "Buckeye" state and Illinois. Only the STATES of the Union can enact the STATUTS of the Union against mob violence and lynch-murder and five or six in the north have already done so, Ohio leading. The U. S. Congress CANNOT do so, says the U. S. Supreme court, the highest tribunal in this country. How much better it would be for the N. A. A. C. P. to direct its activities along the line of state legislation against mob violence and lynch-murder instead of frittering away so much of our people's valuable time, effort and money chasing a "national anti-lynching law" SHADOW! Representatives Stevens of Pennsylvania and Capeheart of West Virginia are headed the right way in the matter of effective legislation against mob violence and lynch-murder. May the efforts is the sincere and earnest wish of all thoughtful, sensible and thoroughly honest members of the race who understand the matter. HAVE NO PLACE IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS! Mayflower Public School, Cleveland, O., April 27, 1923. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Dear Sir: In reference to your address, "Mayfif w r School," we say to wish that the motives which impelled the principal and teachers to have the Negro lullaby sung were misinterpreted. It was not their aim to ridicule nor to call attention to any debasing nor degrading episode in the life of any individual or people, but to teach appreciation of the beautiful melody in the Negro songs. They have a place in the music world, and we hope to make our children proud of their music, and to produce worth-worth music, recognized by the entire music world, even though they were illiterate. We come in daily contact with the principal of Mayflower School, and find her ideal in all things pertaining to the race question. No one who daily sees Miss Roberts (the principal of Mayflower) provide food and clothing to all of Mayflower's needy could feel that she is "lacking in kind-heartedness." Very truly yours, Bearrice M. Wright, Althea M. Robinson, Belle P. Harris. (Teachers at Mayflower) Above appears a letter written by members of our group, teachers at Mayflower School. We commend their loyalty to their principal and co-workers. Our people have always been loyal to others, often to their own detriment. Long years ago, the plans of John Brown were frustrated by the loyalty of a slave maid who "feared for Marse Charles." But we note, too, with pleasure that they offer no defence of the segregation and hutting children appearing at the recent music convention, other than the good intentions of the teachers in charge. To this we say, good intentions are commendable but persons in the position of teachers should have more than good intentions. They should have a deep insight and see farther than surface indications, know what is an humiliation to a given group. A Jewish writer in a recent issue of *The Jewish Times* describes the *Shylockian* presentation of the Jew on the stage has retarded the Jew's progress for two hundred years," and, just so the presentation of the Afro-American in grotesque costumes and dialect has impeded our progress. We are not alone in our contention, that the incident was wrong. Parents, pupils and visiting teachers censure it. We maintain that such practices have no place in our public schools nor any part in condemnation and regret the occurrence and hope that there will be no repetition of the same, since teachers now have learned that such practices are objectionable to our group. From all that we hear of Miss Roberts she is "a wonderful woman." We are truly grateful to her for repeated kindnesses to our poor and needy. "As we have done it unto these, " * * * * ye have done it unto Me." We can only express our regret and surprise that one having good qualities did not "see" or sense the race's view-point. The Gazette will co-operate with the public schools in all ways for their betterment and feels, when it censures a growing evil, it is assisting the "melting pot."

Scott Pictures Southern Conditions In His Reply to a Heated Communication From the Sec. Treas. of the N. C. Pine Assoc.—Makes Plea for Release of Our People in the South From Economic Slavery. Washington, D. C.—As a result of the telegram sent by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, sec.-treas. of Howard University, to judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the U. S. Steel Corporation, a heated communication was sent him by John M. Gibbs, sec.-treas. of the North Carolina Pine Association, Inc. of Norfolk, Va., objecting to Dr. Scott's statement that our people of the South are in position to supply any labor shortage in the large industrial plants of the country. To Mr. Gibbs' letter, Mr. Scott has sent the following reply: Washington, D. C., April 24, '23. Mr. John M. Gibbs, Sec-Treas, N. C. Pine Assoc., Natl Bank of Commerce Bldg., Norfolk, Va. Dear Sir: I write to acknowledge receipt of your letter of April 19th. I fear from the tenor of your communication that you must not have read my complete telegram, but only a portion thereof. I therefore send you herewith a copy of said telegram that you may more fully inform yourself of just what I said to Judge Gary. Familiar with Southern Conditions. Evidently you rest under the misapprehension that I am, as you state, "unfamiliar with southern conditions." You are probably not informed of the fact that I am a southerner who has spent most of his life in the South, having been born in Texas, where for a number of years I conducted a newspaper, and of my having served for 22 years in the heart of the "black belt" of the South as secretary to the Dr. Doecke in Washington and of the Tuskegee Nation in the dustrial Institute. I also served for twenty-one years as secretary of the National Negro Business league. I am therefore venturing to suggest that I have a fairly accurate knowledge of southern conditions. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace commissioned me to make a study of the whole program of Negro migration during the war. The conclusions of that study are set forth in a publication very widely distributed by that organization. I would venture to call the conclusions of that study to your attention. Our People Should Leave. I very definitely feel that it is the duty of Colored people wherever opportunity offers to leave those sections, where lynching and peonage are practiced upon them with impunity. I know quite definitely the difficulties that black men are likely to meet in some of the northern sections, but these difficulties are inconsequential when compared with the privileges of a free and untrammeled citizenship. I am sorry that you are disposed to consider the ambition on the part of Colored people to seek their fullest development and the enjoyment of the fullest American citizenship as being unworthy. I should very much dislike to feel that the South, the natural habitat of the Negro, as you say, is going to assume a permanent feeling of hostility toward the Negro in these fundamental directions. If it does, migration northward will continue. Support Scott's Statement. Dozens of letters and telegrams have reached me from all parts of the South—from as far as Lake Charles, La., for instance and from points in Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia from Colored men advising that my telegram to Judge Gary correctly interprets the situation in their sections just as I described them. These communications very definitely indicate that these Colored Americans seeking a higher wage and release from the economic slavery which holds them in the South—from South to one-crop system are ready and willing to supply the labor shortage in American industrial plants where conditions are more satisfactory, if plans are undertaken on a large and important scale to transfer them to the centers where their services are needed. Nation-wide discussion of Dr. Scott's telegram has ensued. Northern and Southern newspapers, daily and weekly, colored and white, are publicly to the suggestions contained in his telegram to Judge Gary. $3,000 To A Mob Victim Ohio Still Leading the Way to Proper Legislation Against Mob Violence And Lynch-Murder Chicago, Ill.—Henry Mobley of this city, a member of the race, injured by a mob, last October, has just been awarded $3,000 damages by the circuit court of this (Cook) county, under Hon. Edward D. Green's Illinois Anti-Lynching law, largely a copy of the Ohio law. In delivering the opinion of the court Judge Scanlan said: "Mob violence of this kind in the state of Illinois will not and must not be tolerated. The legislature has seen fit to squarely place the burden on the shoulders of the tax-payers to see to it that mobs are suppressed and that citizens are protected, and if they fail in this duty they must pay such damages as are sustained by citizens at the hands of mobs allowed to assemble." The principle of holding the county liable for the injury or death of persons at the hands of a mob was first placed upon the statutes of the Afo Harry C. Smith of Ohio by the Hot Harry C. Smith of Ohio by that state's famous mob violence or anti-lynching law. The Dyer bill, the Stevens bill now pending in the Pennsylvania legislature and the Capehert bill, in the West Virginia Assembly, as well as the Illinois law and others all embody this principle and many other provisions of the pioneer Ohio Anti-Lynching law. FANNER'S WIDOW TO GET $2500. Under Our Ohio Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching Law—She Can Get $5,000. Fearing the result of a $5,000 damage suit filed against the county by Mrs. George K. Fanner, based on the death of her husband, who was shot by pay roll bandits, the county commissioners have agreed to pay her $2,500. Former Mayor William S. McKinney lied the action basing it Hon. Hauy C. Smith's bill statute against mob violence and lynch-murder, which makes the county liable to the extent of $5,000 for failure to protect citizens from mob violence. According to the petition, Mr. Fanner was "lynched" at the hands of a mob. "A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to anyone without authority of law shall be prosecuted by the law reads. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a lynching." Relatives of W. C. Sly, who was shot and killed at the same time, Dec. 31, 1920, at W. 47th St. and the Nickel Plate railroad, are barred from filing a similar claim because the two years, allowed by law in which to file a damage suit, have passed. "White Man." "White' when applied to a man does not refer in the slightest degree to his complexion or the color of his hair. One may be as black as the ace of spades and yet be a 'white' man. The real attributes are few but essential—a pure mind, a gentle disposition, a sweet nature, a glorious spirit of honesty and truth, courage beyond measure and a heart of gold. That is our definition of 'a white man,' whether he be a prince or a pauper."—American Ambassador Harvey in a speech at the "Pilgrim" dinner in London, Eng. March 1, 1923. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MAY 12. 1923. Net is Stretched at One Point in Deep Water to Trap Fish Whaling is now to be classed with the decaying industries. The ceaseless pursuit of the monster cetacean, carried on with relentless energy through a half dozen decades in all of the seven seas, has driven the whale from his accustomed haunts in the warmer seas and indeed also from those in arctic waters not entirely ice closed during the most of the year. Gone are the schools of whales that up to thirty years ago sported in the warm blue waters of Polynesia, in the rolling surges which thunder ceaselessly around the Cape of Good Hope and further north even to the Mozambique channel and the warmen Indian ocean. Sadly thinned ales are the great schools of whales that from the early days of creation even until the 80s of the last century made their home in the frigid waters of the south New Zealand coast and of the boisterous wind lashed southern ocean. It was in this region that to the first sixty years of the nineteenth century the squat brigs and stancher barks of Boston, Salem and other New England ports beat their way battling along the Atlantic surge and fierce south gales, as they ran their easting down in the weary voy-age to round Cape Horn. A lusty race were these American whale men and they have left their mark on the aborigines of the country. These natives, the Maoris, were strong and willing workers. Theirs no lotus eater's existence as that of the savages in the citrus and banana groves of Polynesia, 1,000 miles to the north. With a decrease of whales along the coast came a gradual withdrawal of the whaling ships. There was no corresponding increase of prices, as might be expected with the disappearance of the whales, steel taking the place of whalebone and mineral oil being a cheap and at the same time good substitute for that of the whale. However, at favored shore stations whaling has thriven continually and during the proper season the big fish always appear in certain chosen localities. At one place on the northeastern coast near the harbor of Wanaruru there is a precipitous rock some 300 feet off shore. The water between rock and mainland is unobstructed and thirty fathoms deep. Many years ago it was noticed that whales liked this place, large numbers often quietly followed one another through this passage. Close observation disclosed the fact that there was method in their actions. Whale after whale would turn on its back and rub itself against the sharp steep rock forming the side of the island, this action being taken to get rid of a huge collection of marine growth, barnacles and such which had fastened themselves to its back and sides and were growing fat on its flesh. There seemed no other way of detaching these bloodthirsty boarders except by rubbing them off against the rocks but the right kind of rocks situated in deep water were not easily found, hence the popularity of this particular locality with the mighty cetaceans. The feasibility of stretching a net of wire cable across the 300 foot passage to trap, or more properly enclose the whales, was first considered twenty years ago and was successful almost from the first. There was a whole lot doing when a whale found himself entangled in the net. The one drawback was there seemed no way of anchoring the cables, and many a whale carried the inch steel cable out to sea, causing the fishermen great trouble and much expense for its recovery. Of recent years the netting of whales has given place to shooting, a much more efficient method. A gun into which a harpoon instead of a bullet is loaded being mounted on the bows of a small steel built steamer. These vessels average but about 500 tons in size, but are built stout and strong, sufficiently seaworthy to ride out the sudden gales that sweep the New Zealand coast. Finally this was remedied to a considerable extent by having great buoys attached to the top cable and the net fastened to the shore with anchors only sufficiently strong to keep it in place before the whale became entangled. This sometimes brings the whaler into great peril, because at times the whale is shot quite close to the sheer cliffs, rugged crags and protruding rocks of the mainland or between the islets and jagged reefs of the current swept off shore groups of islands. When not struck in a vital part the whale sets off with the ship in hour, at the rate of many miles an hour, to the great peril of the vessel and its crew, and once in a while it becomes necessary to cut the line and let the fish escape, as the powerful engine of the whaler going full speed astern, cannot stop its mad dash into rock filled waters impassable to the vessel. —Philadelphia Record.

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

(98 v. 162 5.) 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 any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, the sum shall be distributed among the part of kin according to the laws of the介ist. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempt within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 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 miscellaneous assault. (93 v. 1677) Section 6284. The commissioners of a county, against which 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 the fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five 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. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from another county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dis pursue 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.) law.

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 $200 dollars nor more than five hundred dollars imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12541. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the per-mergrived thereby to be recovered in the county where consented jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio State Supreme Court, 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 outcyr for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O. Aug. 25, 1919. Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter to me, I want to send you, a venture to send you, 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. 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 REPRESENTATION. No juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours. 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 and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist prescriptions 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 civilization may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. HARVEYS GREATER MINSTRELS rease its circ ETTE After bscribe After BEAUTIFUL HAIR MAKES BEAUTIFUL WOMEN An ugly cut ?
