The encouragement helped very materially to pull the proposition over, which in the closing days, developed into a very difficult and bitter fight. The fact is shown by the number of negative votes recorded in the Senate against the measure. If the passage of the bill had been delayed another week, I am confident it would have been defeated. Hoping to have the pleasure of seeing you personally sometime, be sure to be. Cleveland, O., May 12, 23. Hon. Andrew F. Stevens, House of Representatives, Harrisburg, Pa. Dear Sir and Friend:—Your letter of the 10th just received. Your success with your bill, which is now Pennsylvania's Mob Violence Act, is really one of the most encouraging things that have happened since the Hon. Edward D. Green of Chicago did the same thing for the state of Illinois, some years ago. IT IS REAL SERVICE and I sincerely trust that our people, at least of your state, as well as others in and out of it, will thoroughly appreciate the great work you have accomplished. MORE POWER TO YOU and YOUR KIND of real race workers. They are so needed in every community where there are any considerable number of Afro-Americans. In this country, of course, Send me a copy of your new soon as you can, please. Also do not fall to forward me a good newspaper cut of yourself, just as soon as possible, as requested in a previous communication.

On View in the Brooklyn Art Museum—Congo Work, First Publicly Shown in 1944, Inspired Modern Artists. New York City.—Primitive native (Negro) wood-carving from Africa, taccharine with cloth woven by the Bashomongo tribe, is on view at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, together with ivory carvings; incenses, spears and knives and other African handicraft work. The sculpture comprises wood-finished uss used for fetishes, to ward of evil, and wooden masks used in ceremonious dances, together with staves and scorpers. Early African Negro sculpture, of the sort now being shown, not only in the Brooklyn Museum, but in the studio of Mrs. H. P. Whitney of N. Y. City, is held by competent critics to constitute an achievement unique in the history of the world's art, from which modern artists derived inspiration. Among these modern artists may be mentioned especially the sculptor, Braneus, and the painters, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. Primitive Negro statuary was first introduced to the world as art in an exhibition held in New York city, in November, 1914, at the galleries of the Photo-Secession, 291 Fifth Ave. At that time, Marine De Zayas, who brought the collection to New York City from Paris, credited the painter, Picasso, with being the discoverer of Negro art, and with introducing its principles into European art. Mr. De Zayas claimed that Negro art had shown new possibilities for finding forms to express the inner life, beneath the knowledge imposed by education.

Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir: That it may not be bravely said of Chicago that "y man is without honor in his own country," we have planned to tender Mr. Oscar D. Priest a testimonial celebration in honor of his outstanding citizenship. The celebration, which will be held at the Eighth Regiment Armory, Monday evening, May 21, is expected toclipse any moment of kindness in the history of our city. We would feel highly plimated were it possible for you to be present with us that occasion. However, if you find this inconvenient, may we have a few words expressing your opinion at Mr. Priest. Cleveland, Ohio, May 12, 1923. Mr. Samuel E. White. 5110 Indiana Ave., Chicago, IL. Dear Sir: Your invitation of the 7th to attend the testimonial celebration to be held, Monday evening, May 21, 1922, in the Eighth Regiment Armory, Chicago, in honor of Mr. Oscar D. Priest, received. I thank you very much, indeed, for the kind remembrance and regret accordingly that it will be impossible for me to be present. However, I am greatly pleased to see that there are still some of our people who are willing to show some appreciation for the unusual and telling work for the race done by some of its leaders. I know of few things, after nearly forty years "on the firing line" in the battle for the conservation of vital racial interests, that have been more disconcerting than the race's woeful lack of real appreciation of its unusual leaders, so generally in evidence throughout the country. When your testimonial celebration in honor of the Hon. Edward D. Green, father of the Illinois Mob Violence Act or Nat'l Lynch Murder law, to hold a honor me with an invitation and I will attend it if the trip possibly be arranged. Bausutland, the "Switzerland" of South Africa, Has No National Debts—Loans Her Surplus Funds. Washington, D.C. Basutoland is a tiny little state in the Switzerland of South Africa measuring only 10,000 square miles, and occupied by 400,000 of the most virile and advanced native blacks south of the Equator. The Basutos owe their unique position to their great ruler, the late King Moshos, easily the greatest Negro statesman that South Africa has produced. Basutoland was annexed by Britain at the request of Moshos and stands alone in the fact that it was later dismineed and is now governed by a native Parliament. The Basuto government levies its taxes and, in fact, performs all the functions of a modern administration. White men are permitted to visit Basutoland and in some cases reside within territory, but none may own land. The population has increased within one hundred years from 40,000 to 100,000, and at least 50,000 Basutos go out every year to fill various positions in South Africa. The Basutos show their interest in education by taxing their people for educational purposes more heavily than any other province in South Africa, as the following figures demonstrate: Cape Colony spends $2.50 per capita; *Natata* spends nearly $4.00; the Transvaal, $4.50; Orange Free \ State, $2.00; Basutoland, $5.00. Basutoland alone, among the African governments, has no national debts but has lent her budget surplus to every other government in South Africa. They should come to America and "pade-em." financially, the Afro-American. Rosenwald Schools and Teachers' Homes Hampton, Va.-S. L. Smith of Nashville, field agent of "The Julius Rosenwald Fund" which was created to assist in the building of better rural schools, in the south for our people, recently reported at the three-day Hampton Institute conference of state agents that, up to April 30, there has been built 1,700 "Rosenwald schools" and 49 teachers' homes, at a total cost of $2,575,492. Or this amount our people had contributed $1,600,667, or 25.6 per cent; white people, $352,199, or 5.6 per cent; public funds, $1,100,148, or 49.5 per cent; and Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, $1,294,178, or 19.3 per cent. The Old Fellows, headed by a band, made an excellent appearance, Sunday, in their parade to and from church where their annual services were held. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Citizens (White). Wake Up At Last and Start to Rid Their Schools of the Baneful. Influence and Control of Supt. McCord and His Allies (Special to The Gazette.) Springfield, O.—The revolt against Sept. McCord, and his three male members of the school board is proclaimed by Laws and bounds. Beginning with the resignation of Principal C. E. Collins (white), which was accompanied by charges attacking the integrity and worthiness of Sept. McCord, there followed a succession of events and rumors wherein stirred the people and created an adverse sentiment which culminated on Thursday evening in the greatest demonstration against a public official this city has ever seen. On the Monday following Principal Collins' resignation, a special meeting of the school board was called and Principle Collins was discharged immediately by the usual vote of 2 to 2, the two women members of the board voting "no." Quick as was this action it failed to convince the public of the superintendent's innocence. Following this rumors of the intention of Sept. McCord to drop from the school of the Central Junior High school, C. M. Rockhead, head of the commercial department of the Senior High school, and A. H. Aidy, instructor in mathematics in the High School, all of the course. As these men had been giving satisfactory and efficient service in their respective departments, their friends regarded their dismissal as spiteful on the part of the superintendent. This was especially so in regard to Principal Harris who was head of the Teachers' Association which had successfully resisted McCord's order for bidding teachers from engaging in any outside employment. The announcement by Governor Flooring, local politician, of overrall and general policemen of crooked officials, that he would attend the next meeting of the board and would give more information, if asked, in regard to his accession made in a previous letter to the board in which he had made charges of graft in the buying of coal by the business manager and superintendent. The result was that when the board met on Thursday evening there was a crowd of between 500 and 1,000 people present. While it has been the custom for the superintendent to announce his list of teachers for the next year at this meeting in May and have confirmed on the fourth Thursday, the majority members of the board decided to finish the job on the one night and so moved to confirm the appointments after they had been read by the superintendent. It was at this point that the first demonstration came, when on call by the THE EXODUS EXPLAINED. Our People's Lives, Taken With Impunity in the South, One of the Many Causes of Migration. Jackson, Miss. --- The following statement, drawn up in a recent mass meeting of our people here and signed by Atty. S. D. Redmond, chairman of the meeting, giving reasons for the exodus of our labor from the South, has just been made public: "The southern Afro-American corps that life is not safe in Mississippi and the South. His life may be taken with immunity at any time, upon the slightest protest or prosecution by the white man. The southern Afro-American has generally deprived of obtaining his rights as a citizen in this section. He has lost faith, and a few of the following facts all tend to force him to this conclusion. Twenty dollars is spent on the education of every white child in Mississippi against one dollar for every Afro-American child. While there are 1,000 high schools for white children in this state there is but one such institution maintained for our children. Immunable. Afro-American tenant-farmers charge their landlords with either no settlement, or an unfair settlement, and many, after appealing to both state and federal authorities in vain, have given up in despair and have sought other climes. Charging that a state of peonage exists in certain sections of this state. One white man's word outweighs that of a hundred Afro-Americans and no public improvement, as a rule is made in the sections of towns and cities occupied by our people. Although we, here in Mississippi, contributed more soldiers to the U. S. army during the war than the whites, we are com- IN UNION IT IS STRENGTH red"! AT LAST! 's Chief "Jim Crow" K. K. Advocate. At Last and Start to Rid Baneful Influence and Cord and His Allies board for petitions or communications. Grover Fleming stated that he had said that he wanted read. The applause which he greeted this showed that the crowd was anti-McCord. This letter only repeated the charges previously made with the aid of intimation that Supt. McCord had desired some of his coal tried out in his McCord's cellar. The same applause greeted Principal Harris and C. M. Beckett when they arrose to read statements in their defense. The climax, however, came when U. A. Hily, speaking for himself and the other two dismissed teachers, charged their dismissal to their failure to pass tickets and contribute $50 from their salaries to a campaign fund to elect members to the school board. Acting Pres. Copnflavor, to whom Pres. Lambert had surrendered the gavel, here attempted to stop the speaker, but his voice was drowned by hooks, hisses and cries of "sit down," "go on Hildy." Following these statements, Supt. McCord read his statement of his reasons for the dismissal of the teachers during which he was interrupted by hisses and laughter. So pronounced was the anti-McCord feeling that it was not until at the close of his statement when he stated that the "race question to prepare the school of the purest Americanism" did his Ku Klux Klan friends in the audience come to life enough to make a demonstration. McCord had evidently expected some support from the Kluxers, for boys were selling the "Fliery Cross" in the hallways of the building, and it has been reported that a meeting of Klan women was being held in another time. Teachers were appointed to all buildings except that of Fulton school and in regard to that McCord made a statement as to the satisfactory (?) service that had been rendered by the "jim, crow" Fulton school, teachers during the time they were allowed to teach (which was a joke, considering that there were 12 teachers with an average total of about 30 pupils up until the school was closed in December). He asserted his belief in his right to transfer pupils at his discretion, which is taken to mean that he intends, later on if he remains superintendent, to try to defy the orders of the court as well as the law. The appointment of these teachers was deferred for one month. Attorney Daniels, who was present, protested against the deferring of the appointments and asked that whatever assignments were made for Fulton school should be made along with the others. plettely excluded from all share in jury service, the ballot, and from any participation in government. This we hold responsible for all of the many inequalities and injustices under the law, and feel, notwithstanding the kindly feelings of many to the contrary, that such a state and condition must ever remain just as long as we are denied the ballot, since history affords no example of mutual, co-operation, contentment and mutual welfare, where one group assumes guardianship of another and attempts to govern them without the consent of the governed. Afro-Americans who have left Mississippi and the South cannot be brought, back and the exodus can only be checked when the conditions complained of, and others, are remedied." THOUGHT SOUBRETTE WHITE Her Father Says The Husband Knew She Wasn't—Suing For a Divorce—Berry a Ball Player. Boston, Mass.—Goo. E. Berry, a ball player in the Eastern League, has filed in court here a petition for divorce from his wife, Zelda Berry, 152 Grove St., Chelsea. He says she did not tell him that she was colored before they were married and that he only found it out in January, 1923, when he left her. They were married, Oct. 25, 1919. Mr. Abner Gay, her father, a member of the race, when seen at his home, the Grove St. address, said Berry knew he was Zelda's father and came to that address often to see her before their marriage. Her name is Eva Annie 'Gay Berry, and she has been twice married. When 'On the stage, as a soubrette, her stage name was Zelda Taylor, the last name being that of her first husband. Mr. Berry is a mulatto and his wife was either an octoon or white, he has not said which.'

SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1923 If these is anything this race of ours needs more than another it is the sane "radical Negro." Not the Socialistic or Anarchistic kind but the loyal race radical. Beware of the weak-kneed member of the race who rails against the right kind. To the everlasting credit of our ministers of Kentucky and Tennessee, they are opposing the attendance of our people upon the "jim crow" meetings of Evangelist Billy Sunday. May it ever be so wherever this "religious" color-line it attempted. The "rapping" (excoriation) those "cheap" and prejudiced "noted American artists" are getting from the good white people and organizations of this country, as well as our people, for refusing to recommend one of our girls, who, recently, sought entrance to a French art school in Paris, is most encouraging indeed. It is to be hoped that she will be sent to Paris and thus enabled to enter the school without the recommendation which seems necessary for those in this country—if that be possible. --- Chicago's recently elected Democratic mayor has appointed Major A. E. Patterson, who lived in Cleveland for some months, a few years ago, third assistant corporation counsel. Salary, $6,000, a year. With New York City, Brooklyn and other large Democratic cities in the North siving members of the race well-paying positions and our Republican party, national, state and municipal, doing practically nothing for our people, it is not difficult to figure out what will be the result, as far as they are concerned, when the campaign is on, next year. The Civil Liberties Union calls attention to the fact that mob violence, in recent years, has been chiefly directed against white persons. This is perfectly natural and a good thing because it is the only thing that will ever make that class of people awaken to the fact that the American festering sore (lynch) must be healed (stopped). The only way to stop it, too, is by state legislation. In the last two years there have been eight hundred victims of the mob, at least, not counting riot victims. Of these, 102 were lynch-murdered, 33 whites and 69 "Negroes"; 63 were tarred and feathered—only two of these were "Negroes"; 167 were flogged—only 41 of these, "Negroes." ATTENTION, MINISTERS! Reuben Flenglass, age 30, a Jewish shopkeeper at 3017 Central Ave., was shot to death, Saturday midnight. Sunday, a member of the race was cut to ribbons in E. 28th St., another was shot to death in E. 40th St. near Central Ave., and still another (Mr. Rush) was stabbed almost to death in Scovill Ave. near E. 37th St. He is in city hospital "fighting" for his life. These are a few of a dozen such happenings in the Central-Scovill-Woodland district, Saturday night and Sunday, and ought to move our local ministers' organizations to ask additional police protection for that section of the city from Mayor Kohler, at once. Monday noon, Raymond Dillard, E. 43rd St., shot Willard Lige, E. 59th St., through the mouth, according to Police Sergeant Burns who arrested him. Such crimes are almost nightly occurrences in the Central-Scovill-Woodland district, these days. HIRAM'S ANSWER. Lord Robert Cecil returned to England and his first words are a warning to the British advocates of the "league of notions" not to place too much reliance on America coming in. Cecil came, he saw, and he was bunkered. He got away with more impudence than any Britisher who has yet visited this country to tell us how to run our affairs, and it is probably too much to hope that some other Lord or Lady will not be relayed to this country to keep up the work of advising us as to what we should do. When U. S. Senator Hiram Johnson of California was asked, during his visit to London, what he thought of the Ruhr occupation by the French, he replied that it was none of his business. Johnson did not have the efrontery to tour Europe telling the Europeans how to run their affairs. If he had done so the chances are he would have been ordered out of France or Great Britain. Why should we sit back and permit these foreign propagandists to abuse us and make fun of us, when all they desire is an opportunity to use us "to pill their chestnuts out of the fire?" THE REAL AND THE IDEAL. "I believe the public opinion of this country is essentially sound," wrote former President Thomas Woodrow Wilson to a friend in the South. "and it is obviously swinging back to the high levels it occupied during the war. I look for a genuine and an immediate renaissance of the finest sort of political idealism in this country." Idealism had its day during Mr. Wilson's term in the White House. Unfortunately for the political prospects of the Democrats, the worship of ideals was so intense as to exclude the need of making practical application of them to modern life. Mr. Wilson failed to comprehend the truth that the frailties of human nature are responsible for the imperfections of national morality, and make impossible the attainment of the ideals that he advocated. Had he comprehended that fact he would have been content with such progress toward his ideals as circumstances permitted. Instead, he strove for the impossible and his cherished schemes fell to the ground. President Harding's ideals are as lofty as those of his predecessor, but he has tempered their application with a practical understanding of the readiness of the world to accept reforms. He has not sought the millennium at a stroke, but has won a long succession of diplomatic triumps that mark the progress of his administration toward world peace as in striking contrast to the disheartening failures of Mr. Wilson. The contribution that the United States will make in the future toward the cause of peace will be enhanced by keeping our feet on the ground, and extending helpful advice and suggestions only when the world indicates a readiness to receive them. A renaissance of the political idealism that Mr. Wilson has in mind would bring to a sudden stop the steady progress of the last two years toward contentment in our own country and toward the elimination of the causes of discontent among nations. Mr. Wilson's optimism over the Democratic outlook is testimony to his courage, but there is little to warrant it. Next Week At The Globe Harvey's Great Minstrels — Bia Band, Orchestra, Chorus, and Many Stars—Specialities The next attraction at this popular theater is Harvey's Great Minstrels, positively one of the oldest and best companies on the road. Wherever they have appeared in this country and Canada, in recent months, they have carried their audiences by storm. This is attested by press notices from many newspapers which we have before us as we write. That they will pack the Globe every night, next week, there is no doubt. The versatility of the company is remarkable. Indeed, seldom is such a wide range of capabilities shown on any stage by any company. Its performance, from start to finish, is clean and wholesome and the costumes exceptionally fine. The company carries a band and orchestra, which are away above average. Its vocal star, Miss Margaret Jackson, known as "The Modern Black Patti," has a wonderful soprano voice and is a splendid comedienne. Alonzo Moore (conjurer), "Cuban" Edwards (slack wire artist), and Johnnie Woods (ventilolist) are far in advance of anything seen on The Globe Theater stare, this season. "Pewee" Williams is a juggler deluxe. Then, there is the Octoroon Chorus and Lightning Jazz Drill, composed of charming young women; a remarkable trombone soloist and numerous other splendid features. Good music, dancing and elaborate music. The Darktown Circus," and the short sketch, "At The Darktown Strutter's Picnic," are telling additional features 'of Harvey's Minstrels. If you fail to get in the Globe Theater, next week, you will miss the greatest attraction of the season. Seldom is an opportunity like this afforded theater-goers of this city.

Avendorph, Chicago society leader for 20 years, died, last week. Since 1920, over 300,000 southern Afro-Americans have been employed by northern industries, according to government reports. Walden University, Nashville, Tenn., has just dedicated a new site and inducted into office a new president, Dr. T. R. Davis. Thornton M. Tate, former resident of Zanesville, has just been retired on pension, by the Penn. R. R., at Pittsburg. Wm. T. Ewing, of Oakland, Cal., recently deceased, left his $150,000 estate to Tuskegee, Ala., N. & I. Institutional. Yes, he was a member of the race. Alexander Joske (white), of San Antonio, Tex., has just given $6,000 towards a "race" center in connection with St. Phillips N. & I. School of that city. Since November 30, 1922, 67,000 Negro laborers have migrated from Georgia; 47,000 from Mississippi; 16,500 from Louisiana; and 6,000 from Alabama.—Atlanta (Ga.) Independent. The race has had twenty-one Congressmen and three U. S. Senators, Bissette, Cabibae, and Bruce. Pinchback received the award but was not permitted to take his seat and by a Republican Senate, too. The total value of the output of cocoa from the Gold Coast, Africa, alone for the years 1911-1920 was close upon $200,000,000, the whole of which was produced by the 1,000,000 Negroes of the territory. Col. Charles Young's remains will arrive in N. Y. City, tomorrow, and Charles Young Post, A. L., that city, will hold memorial services. May 27, 1922, he will be accorded the remains at Washington, D. C. later, when they are interred in Arlington cemetery. A collection of ten etchings of noted Afro-Americans by Albert A. Smith, a young Afro-American artist now further his studies in the French Academy in Paris, France, were recently placed on exhibition in the N. Y. City Public Library and in a Fifth Ave. art gallery. All critics who have seen the etchings state The thing that the colored people of America can not forgive is the deliberate attempts made by Americans to spread race hatred in lands where none has existed. Americans have done this in the West Indies, in South America, in England, and in France, and everywhere they have gone. It is bad enough to persecute the colored people here, but it is hard to resist on trying to convert the rest of the population hating the colored race. I call it the basest betrayal of democracy on record.—Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter, Boston Guardian. Wilberforce Wins Debate Wilberforce, O.—The University debating team, composed of Toussaint L. Hale, G. Frederick Woodson, Jr., and Edmond B. Paxton, captain, defeated the team from Michigan Agricultural college, composed of Earl Chapman, Douglas Steere and Harry G. Smith, captain. Wilberforce defended the negative side of the subject, "Resolved, that labor disputes in the public utilities should be settled by compulsory arbitration." Charles L.

There are, of course, divergent opinions. To some the ornate deserves prominent consideration; to others simplicity and utility take first place as twin qualities. One of the school journals comments upon the criticisms uttered by an architect whose elaborate design for a school building had been rejected in favor of a simpler and plainer one. The plans of the unsuccessful competitor provided for expensive stone cut cornices and belt courses of facade, elaborate marble wainscoating and stucco trim in the corridors and assembly room and other embellishments. While the general plan was good, such important details as the relation of stairways to corridors, the arrangements of toilet rooms, etc., had not been fully studied. His competitor however had given c reful study to every practical detail, with which he combined good proportion and well chosen material, though with comparatively plain design. POTATO NEEDS RICH SOIL Grows Best in Well Irrigated and Fertilized Ground Potatoes want a rich, well drained loose soil. To get this condition, we must have a good system of underground drainage, and also must apply a great deal of well rotted manure, plowed under deeply each year until it is difficult to get a mold bored flow to scour freely in it, or else turn under heavy coats of green manure until the oil handles like an ash bed. The ground always should be plowed deeply to protect the potatoes against excessive moisture by lowering the water level quickly and to conserve moisture in a dry season. It also gives the tubers a place to develop freely. Manures used for potatoes should be well rotted. Coarse manures are likely to dry out the soil and often cause the tubers to be scabby. The seed should be planted from four to five inches deep to have room for potatoes to develop between the seed and the surface of the soil. The tubers grow on the stem and not on the roots of the plant. For seed use, average sized potatoes cut in three or four pieces with no less than two eyes to each piece. AUTO TOP DISAPPEARS New Device Drops Out of Sight When Not Used An automobile top that drops out of sight behind the driver and passengers when not in use is the injurious idea that a Colorado man proposes for the automobile manufacturer who deaires in his product the almost in simplicity of appearance. Another advantage of this top is the decrease in wind resistance of the car. No part of the top protrudes from the car when it is down. The top is circular being pivoted at either side. The pressure of small levers is sufficient for raising and lowering it with little difficulty. For touring car bodies two tops are necessary, one of which drops into a depression behind the driver's seat, the other disappearing into a similar pocket behind the rear seat—Popular Science Monthly. A new electric light designed especially for photographers has as its essential feature a 1,000 watt metal film lamp with a bulb of blue glass, which reduces the luminous intensity of the light without affecting its active qualities, that is, without affecting the rays which produce the chend at changes essential to photography. These rays are blue-green, blue, violet and unraviolet. The result is a slightly bluish light, appearing almost white, having only one third the luminous intensity but practically the same activity as the clear 1,000 watt bulb. The lamp is mounted on a tall metal standard, on which it can be adjusted to the desired height. The frame also supports a diffusing screen. The bulb is set in a reflector.—Popular Mechanics.

Here is a splendid opportunity. The U. S. department of agriculture 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 an easier existence in the north. Thirteen per cent (or 32,000) of our farm-hands in Georgia have moved north in the South to 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 $3 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent (or 15,000) each since the last crop season, while similar conditions are found generally through the southern states. While this "wholesale" immigration is undoubtedly lowering the status of our people in the South, in farming, and will continue to improve, that of those remaining in the southland, and, on the whole, is a good thing for all concerned. With the Harvey Greater Minstrels, that come to the Globe theatre for one week, commencing, Monday, May 21st, our greatest minstrel company, that recently appeared here at the Masonic auditorium, is Whitney Viney, a talented performer and housekeeper, or that 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 sick and had to be sent to a hospital. The man was in the midst, the Viney stepped up and asked if he might be given a trial at the part, which was done. He made such a "hit" that he was kept in the part the balance of the season, and often received more favorable comment than any of the actors in the cast. Some "less criticisms" were that he played the part so true to life that a person would think the theater was realizing it was a young Afro-American playing such a prominent part so well. Mr. Viney is a Cleveland resident and will be among his friends who will undoubtedly turn out in large numbers.

The national boxing commission has awarded Jack Johnson the decision in his fight with Farmer Lodge (white), here, May 6. The fight ended in the fourth round when Lodge said he had been fouled. Doctors found that although Lodge had been struck in the groin prior punishment in the ribs resulted in his inability to continue the fight. In the first fight, May 6, Jack played with Lodge for two or three rounds before jarring him with a kayo. Coming to, farmer cred "foul." Physicians, who hurriedly examined him, pronounced him o. k. but still in "dreamland." Johnson weighed 212 pounds. Lodge thought the scales fail. The contest was to have been wared over again last Sunday and doubtless was since Johnson has been awarded the decision. Persons who saw Jack in action say that he, as well as Harry Willis, is Jack Dempsey's master. After watching eight successive blanks appear on the score board the Tate Stars went on a rampage, Sunday, at Tate Field, scoring three runs in the ninth inning of the first game, which they lost by one run.

State passes presented the Homestead aggregation with three of their quota of four runs. Branahan was wild at catching the ball, but he close and pitched wonderful ball. The second game required approximately three hours before Owens succeeded in retiring the last Tate batter. After retiring the locals in order during the first two sessions, the veteran hurler for the Homestead went to pieces, being nicked for five hits and an equal number of runs in the third inning. Johnson led the Tates at bat in the second game, registering two singles, a double and two circuit drives in five trips to the plate. Extra base hits predominated, the local sluggers including five doubles, two triples and home runs. The Stars were beaten by the Tates in the contest of the series, Monday at Tate field, 10 to 5. Making an auspicious beginning, the Tates registered a trio of runs in the initial session, but after that it was just trot up to the plate, take three swings and then to the players' bench. Brown made them look pitiable after that first inning. McClure pitched a creditable contest, striking out nine of the opposing batters, but three passes, a quartet of costly errors and inability to hit Brown's pitching tell the story. The feature of the game was not a home run or a sensational catch but continuous "monkey" comedy that would make the hired baseball comedian, Nick Altrocto, look like the leading character in the Shakespeare's tragedy dramas. In the Sunday, Branahan got a two base hit. In the second game Miles, Johnston, Gray McCall and Leonard each got one, while Gray and McCall also made three base hits and Johnston, two home runs. --- The Boston Store Ladies' and Gents' Furnishings Up-to-date Goods!

ANIMAL VALUED HIGHLY BY UP TO-DATE DEALERS FOR PRICE THE PELT BRINGS *Tit Even Said It Makes Gentle Pet- If Treated Kindly. The gentlemanly fur dealer and the lady who buys furs are less fastidious than a few years ago when the names of the animals that furnished some of the peltries were never mentioned, a pretty alias being substituted in their stead. Today it is quite different. The dealer in furs uses no subterfuge in his advertisement or in his colloquy with his customer. If the muff and collar are of that native American, the skunk, the salamander does not hesitate to say so openly and above board. The mephitis putida is a beautiful animal and not to be be squeezed at whether it is ambulating in the wood pasture or made up for cold weather wear and adornment of some dainty dame. Skunks usually live in burrows and in very cold places remain in their subterranean homes from December to the middle of February. The young, usually six to as many as ten in a litter, are born in the spring and remain with their parents until the following spring, when they have to make way for another family. The skunk is a beautiful and graceful animal and when seen in the woods presents a kittenish appearance. Skunks are nocturnal in their habits and frequently travel considerable distances entering villages and the suburbs of cities where they commit havoc among fowls and eggs. There are several species of this animal that range over North America from Hudson bay through Canada, Michigan, Indiana and to the south through Mexico to Central America. It is about as large as the domestic cat, the body twelve to fourteen inches long and the tail nine or ten inches more. The prevailing color is black with white markings on the forehead and neck and a white stripe on each side of the back. Sometimes the white stripes are narrow or altogether wanting. The tail is black mixel with white or tipped with white. When taken young and handled gently it is said to make an agreeable and pretty pet, but even with this recommendation culled from natural history it is not likely that this animal will ever become a popular favorite. THINKS MARS IS INHABITED New Proof is Discovered of Planet's Artificial Canals. Dr. Percival Lowell of the Flagstaff Observatory, Boston, Mass., in an address describes the newest discoveries made regarding the canals on the planet Mars. He dwelt most on the two canals which made their appearance between 1896 and 1900 and educated further arguments in support of the hypothesis of their artificial character. The subject of possible signals from Mars to the earth long has agitated scientists, and there are many who scout the theory. "The objections arise only from those who have ever properly observed the planet," declares Dr. Lowell, "or who quote others in the like predicament. It is a case of science versus science, to which there can be but one outcome." Dr. Lowley told his audience that the new canals are 1000 miles long and of a slender, geometric character, with regular lines of faultless, curvature beyond the power of unassisted nature to contrive. For fifteen years the planet has been carefully scanned, at every approach to the earth, but these canals had not revealed themselves. Thus they were either new canals or new employment of fallow ones, either of which alternatives, he claimed, arguing artificiality in their construction. ELECTRIC CANNON NOW IN USE Hurle Big Shelle Without Use of Gunpowder An electric gun by which huge shells can be hurtled thru the air from cannon without the use of gunpowder as the force of propulsion is being perfected by a Philadelphia firm. That the new invention is to revolutionize warfare and soon will be perfected and in actual use on the battlefronts in Europe is the claim of the promoters. Altho declining to discuss the mechanism of the gun, Mr. Conkle asserted that a recent experiment with it had demonstrated its efficiency. "This new gun is noiseless, odorless and from a military viewpoint the last word in ordnance, because there is no smoke and consequently it is hidden from the enemy" explained the secretary of the company. "A 300-pound shell can be forced for a distance of ten miles and penetrate forty-two inches of armorplate. Owing to the construction of the gun it has an efficiency of more than 300 per cent over the ordinary cannon in the matter of loading and discharging. The biggest guns can be fired with the rapidity of our present day machine gun."

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for this 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 6254. 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 exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 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 children of such deceased of the minor children of such deceased, 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, such sum shall be distributed among the next according to the laws of the distribution so seriously intestate. Such sum no recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (V 916 62. 8) 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 murder (93 v. 162 7). Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery has 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 so lynched 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 judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162) 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 fraternity 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 such county for safekeeping, the prisoner 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 the case of prosecution for homicide or assault by engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.) THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

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. 18940. Whoever, being the proprietor of his employee, keeper or manager of an important establishment, 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 activities, advantages, facilities, or privileges she shall be immed not less than fifty dollars, nor than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 18941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the persecuted thereby to be recovered in any county 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 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 Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appellate of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self- Akron, O.

Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, 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.

Buried In A Mud Hole! 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! TALLLAHASSE, FLA., May 8.—Nine Negro convicts serving at the convict camp of State Senator T. J. Knabb in Baker county met their deaths during last year, six of these dying since last September, the joint legislative committee investigating convict camp brutalities was told to the mayor. The Wrenlin social worker of Glen St. 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 order or maneuver two hours during the morning 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 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 pity she did not do an even better job. Mrs. Shelfield in a Mud Holde. Mrs. Thompson went down a list she had before her and told 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, FLORIDA OUTRAGES It is to be hoped that public indignation throughout the rest of the United States will continue to voice 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 if the parents of Tabert had 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 job, 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 unspeakable Turk in treatment of the Armenians or of the Cossacks 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 sectional 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. died and was buried in a mudhole. She said the body was later exhumed and buried in a family cemetery. Another youth, she said, was given a whipping by one of the wardens and died two or more hours later sitting upright in his chair. She gave in detail the alleged brutalities of Washington, D. C., Revere slain of Washington, D. C., and told he was instrumental in bringing about the investigation and the rescue of the youth from the residence of Senator Knabb, 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, where he came to the scene. She described that as "looking like a corpse," and declared 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 reported brutalities at the Knabb camps that a commitment was named to make an investigation of what they saw. Don't depend all on my word. Their report will startle you." The Florida senate today adopted a resolution by Senator Turnbull calling upon the administration of the state to convict to abolish corporal punishment as an experiment, and if the experiment proves successful "to forever abolish it in this state." This is a joke! 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. H. C. S. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. IS IT OF ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights they may be mature 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 to all, and however long race discrimination continues, continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian.
