New Orleans, La.—In the recent "Louisiana-peonage case" the victims were Mrs. Emma Johnson and her twin nine-year-old daughters, of Plecayune, Miss., who were enticed to Tangtapahon Parish in Louisiana with the promise of transportation and board and pay of 1 cent for every box of strawberries picked. A labor agent (white) and a woman of the race enticed them. When they arrived at Tickwaw, this state, they were carried to the strawberry farm of BenJ. Kincheon, 9 miles from the station, and held in a state of slavery, with no sleeping accommodations and poor food, chiefly of corn bread and syrup, and were forced to work from sunrise until sundown. Hezzie Pringle, the woman's brother, found his way to the farm and offered to pay whatever debt his sister and her children owed Kincheon if he would release them. Kincheon beat Pringle with a club and would have shot him if his wife had not begged him to spare Pringle. The wife hid the revolver, enabling Pringle to escape to New Orleans, where he reported the facts to U. S. Atty. Burns who ordered federal agents to bring here the berry-pickers on the Kincheon farm for questioning and to arrest the man and woman who enticed them. These orders were carried out and Mrs. Emma Johnson, her daughters, and several other people were brought before the federal courts here. A GREAT SHOW "7-11" at The Globe, Next Week. Next week, Manager Bob Davis will present the "Seven-Eleven" company which comes so highly recommended as the logical successor of the No. 1 "Shuffle Along Co," and the regular patrons of the theater are undoubtedly in for another great treat. In Columbus and Toledo, where "7-11" has appear, in recent weeks, the local daily press comment characterizes it as "an exceptionally meritorious production," referring particularly to "Speedy" Smith and Sam Cook, principal comedians, who were last seen in the city with Mayne Smith's Jazz Revue, and saying that "Smith is touted as the logical successor to the late Bert Williams." Also that "Cook is a splendid boll for Smith's merriment, and the duo is aided by Garland Howard, a straight man of splendid talent along dramatic roles. Others of the principals are Lee Whipper and Eddie Gray, a pair of eccentric comedians; -Eleaora Wilson and Josephine Gray, two pretty maldens in the ingenee roles; May Brown and Bessie Simms, versatile soubrets. There are 22 chorus misses in the "Seven-Eleven" company, each selected, it is said, for her pulchritude as well as her singing and stepping abilities. The musical numbers were especially composed for the offering and are of the whistly type. Two acts and twelve scenes serve to carry along the plot." Said the Toledo News Bee, May 21, 28: "If one were to pick out the chief asset of the show, however, it would be the enthusiasm of the players. It is a unique sight to witness a road, burlesque, company deriving enjoyment from their parts, but these players apparently do and their skill is infectious. Naturally the show runs to dancing and singing, happily, too, for at such entertainment the actors are easily at their best. Their repertoire offers everything from the old fashion clog to modern jazz. A rendition of 'Some One Like You,' by Evon Robinson and Eddie Gray scores one of the big bits of the piece." There will be a midnight show today (Saturday), and also, June 9. "23. If you have not visited the Globe, this week, do not fall to go, this evening, and see Lucele Hegamin, (cameo record artist), one of the greatest singers on the stage. Also witness that wonderful production "The Destruction of Rheims" (not a moving picture). Two performances, each evening. RALLY TO THE SUPPORT OF The Lincoln Memorial Commission of Greater Cleveland—Let Our Ministers and Teachers Lead. Editor, Gazette, Dear Sir: The Lincoln Memorial Commission has been organized to secure the co-operation of the people of Greater Cleveland in creating in the city a worthy memorial to Abraham Lincoln. It is proposed that this take the form of a statute in bronze, placed where it can be seen by the greatest number. The week, beginning Memorial Day, May 30th, has been designated as the time for the collection of a fund of $30,000 for which sum a suitable statue, produced by one of America's great sculptors, can be had. The NUMBER of contributors to this memorial fund—and NOT the amounts given—will be the measure of Greater Cleveland's tribute to the greatest and most loved of all Americans. No child will be expected to give more than 10c and no adult more than $1.00. Lincoln's love for humanity knew no distinctions of wealth, race, religion or color. The only worthy memorial to him, therefore, is one which is a universal expression of love, reverence and honor. It is desired that contributions be spontaneous—not forced. Names of all contributors, including those of clubs, societies, churches, schools and other organizations, will be placed on a Lincoln Memorial Roll which will be deposited in the foundation of the statute. Envelopes for individual contributions will be distributed and collected through the schools and many of the churches; and contribution coupons will be printed in the newspapers. There will be no teams and no solicitors. Every organization desiring its name on the Lincoln Memorial Roll is asked to devise its own method of obtaining contributions from its membership. These, accompanied by name of organization and names of members who contributed, should be sent to the Commission's treasurer, E. B. Greene, whose office is at the Cleveland Trust Company. They may be addressed to him and left at any branch of the Cleveland Trust. Yours, sincerely, Henry Turner Bailey, Chairman of the Consilion. Clyde R. Miller, Manager of Publicity. [Name] Theodore Roosevelt Eulogizes Late Attache in Liberia; Body Has Arrived Here for Burial. Cornerstone of Armory Laid. New York City.—Funeral services for the late Col. Charles Young, of Ohio, at the time of his death military attache to the American Minister to Liberia, Africa, were held, Sunday, in the auditorium of the College of the City of New York. The body was sent to Washington, this week, for burial. Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, delivered the eulogy. Col. Young, the only Afro-American to hold that rank in the regular army at the time of his death, died in Monrovia, Liberia, last December. He had been awarded a medal by the Liberian government for training the army of that country, had served in the Spanish-American war and later in Mexico, and was active during the World War training soldiers at Ft. Grant, III. He was in the service for many years in the West and Southwest, and was a graduate of West Point (U. S.) Military Academy. Lay Armory Cornerstone A parade of 25,000 members of our local societies preceded the laying of the cornerstone of the new Fifteenth Inf. regiment armory, Sunday, by Mayor Hylan. The regiment was commanded overseas by Col. William Hayward, now U. S. attorney for the northern district of this state. Col. Little (white) is its present commander. $900,000 PERPETUAL ENDOW-DOWMENT! Site for New Baptist Theological Seminary Dedicated—Col. Young Memorial Services. Washington, D. C.—Dedication exercises of the site in Douglass park, where a Baptist theological seminary for our people is to be built, were held, Wednesday afternoon. The principal address was delivered by Dr. E. W. Moore, of Pittsburgh, field secretary of our work under the A. B. H. M. Board of New York. Others who appeared on the program, were Dr. R. L. Brudby, of Detroit; Dr. B. F. McWilliams, of Toledo, and Dr. S. B. Butler, of Indianapolis. The Community Center's band, under the direction of Prof. James E. Miller, furnished the music. The general board of the Northern Baptist convention has funded $600,000 to be set aside for the perpetual endowment of three Afro-American Baptist schools and the A. B. H. M. Society has set aside $300,000 as an endowment for the same purpose. The memorial service for Col. Charles Young, held in Howard Theater, Sunday afternoon, were largely attended. Major O. J. W. Scott, retired army chaplain, was the speaker. Among the prominent Ohioans in attendance were the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, and Miss Hallie Q. Brown, of Wilberforce, the Colonel's hometown. The body arrived from N. Y. City, this week, for burial in Arlington cemetery. WON CIVIL RIGHTS CASE. WON CIVIL RIGHTS CASE. Vineland, N. J.-Harry J. Simms has just won a civil rights case against a local restaurant where service was refused him because of his color and race. He was informed that he would be charged one dollar extra for service. The proprietor, Harry Steen, (white), was ordered by the court to pay Simms $50 in cash, make a public apology through an advertisement in the newspapers, and give a written guarantee that all citizens would in the future receive equal treatment in his restaurant.

SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1923 The shooting, cutting, killing and women-beating go on, "right merrily", in ward 11 and positively no efforts are made to stop them any more than there is effort to stop the speak-easies, boot-legging, gambling, dope-pedding, hoot-making, cursing loudly in the streets, Sunday and every other day of the week. Where, O, where! is that alleged councilman by the name of Fleming, one Tom Fleming? Don't our good people in that section of the city want something done? Current rumor has if that our Ministers' Conference and Ministers' Alliance are soon to meet in joint conference to select a committee to call on Mayor Kohler and ask the much-needed additional police protection for wards 11 and 12. This particularly for the women and children who are oft-times all but cursed off the streets in that section of the city. The residents of those wards will certainly appreciate such assistance and we sincerely hope it will be given and soon. If ward 11 had a councilman our people of the Central Ave. district would have better street-car service, police protection, better streets, etc. Lieutenant Charles S. Smith, for more than twenty-five years secretary to the chiefs of police of the city of Cleveland and for about a year and a half also acting secretary of the police and fire departments, has been officially appointed secretary of police. This appointment carries with it the pay of a captain of police, $2900 a year. This is fine! Mayor Kohler and Director Martinec, and Chief Graul, too, deserve praise for it. It is true, "Charlie" has earned it by long, faithful and splendid service. It is also true that they have been fair enough to say so in the best possible way. It will greatly please all of our people of this community and thousands of others who know of and appreciate Secretary Smith's worth as a city employee. NO CHAOS YET. The stock argument of advocates of American entrance into the league of nations has been that, without the participation of the United States in the league, chaos in Europe was inevitable. This country has retained its independence, but the threatened calamity has not materialized. On the contrary, reports from most of the European nations indicate that they are enjoying a steady recovery from the ravages of war. Just as the debt cancellationists have been silenced by the refunding agreements reached between the United States and the debtor governments, so the friends of the league are rapidly being deprived of their material for discussion. FRANCE STRENGTHENS NAVY. Reports from Paris are to the effect that, although the French government is pressing for ratification of the Washington armaments treaty, the guns on the French battleships are being elevated so as materially to increase their range. France holds there is nothing in the treaty that prevents such changes. Our own Congress will be called upon to determine the same question when it convenes, next winter. Money was appropriated for changing the gun elevations on our own battleships, when a difference of opinion arose as to whether Congress acted with full knowledge of all the facts. It was finally determined to let the matter rest until Congress could review the question. The French interpretations of the treaty will be of interest when the subject is again considered at Washington. NEW CONSCIENCE NEEDED. A prominent New York international lawyer, recently returned from Italy, declares that "the rehabilitation of Italy was not a political revolution but a spiritual revival." He says that the Italian deficit is to be cut in half next year, and will be wiped out entirely in two years. A spiritual revival is just what is sorely needed in most of the European countries, and when it comes the result is likely to be as beneficial as it has proved in Italy. The revival came to Italy without any suggestion from the United States or any other government, and it must come to the rest of Europe in the same way. If we chose to do so, we could grant even more money and men to Europe than we are now giving. Material aid could be given either thru the league of nations or to the nations direct, but it would be of no permanent value in establishing peace and contentment in the Old World until there has been a renalance of the European conscience. So long as Old World diplomacy is actuated by commercial greed, and those countries are willing to go to war to settle business rivalries, it is useless to talk of world peace. WILBERFORCE FISCAL OFFICER It does not seem to be generally understood that the Ohio Assembly at its recent session passed the Liggitt bill, providing for a fiscal officer for the Combined (State) Normal and Industrial Department of Wilberforce University, over Gov. Vic Donnhey's veto. It is now perfectly clear that the latter was misled into the unfortunate action he took in the matter. However, since "all's well that ends well," everybody concerned should be satisfied with if not happy over the result. The action of the Assembly in making the bill a law was the best solution of what bid fair, for a time, to become a most troublesome problem which would have culminated in legislation that would legalize "jim crow" schools in Ohio. The Liggitt fiscal-office bill was the happy medium of escape from the impending evil and a much-needed bit of legislation "for the good and welfare" of the state department of Wilberforce University that all directly interested had agreed upon before its first passage in the Assembly. Therefore, it is to be regretted that persons, for selfish reasons which they of course kept from the Governor, misled him into feeling that it was his duty to veto the bill which the State Assembly was thus forced to pass a second time in order to make it a law. Rev. B. K. Smith, 2297 E. 101st St., this city, has about completed a six room house in the rear of his residence which he will rent.

Difficulties the police encounter with Ski when he was "celebrating" in the Montmartre caused the introduction of a class in pugilism at police headquarters, he said. This is "rich," not it? Ball Player Killed. Washington, D. C.—Herman Jackson, age 16, an inmate of our Industrial Home school, Blue Plains, D. C., died at Gallinger hospital, Sunday, from injuries received in a baseball game several weeks ago. Jackson, who was playing in a game composed of two picked teams from the school, was struck on the head by a ball thrown from the field. All first little attention was paid to his injury, as he continued to play. Later he was found in the dormitory of the school in an unconscious condition and removed to the hospital, where he died. Montana Seeks Dempsey-Wills's Battle Shelby, Mont.—Negotiations looking to the staging of a match between Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, and Harry Wills, leading challenger, in Great Falls, are under way here between Jack Kearns, the heavyweight manager, and Jack Falls business man Dan Tracy, chairman of the Cascade county boxing commission and wealthy mining man, is negotiating with Jack Kearns, the champion's manager, to swing the mixed bout west on Labor Day. "Tracy's offer was for real money just like Shelyb up for the Dempsey-Gibbons July 4 fight." Kearns explains. The best has the money to right up for the fight. I see no reason why the Wills match could not be handled successfully in Great Falls, and I am considering the offer favorably. McTigue on Battling Siki.

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, dewns itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world speeds 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 to long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Maa.s.) Guardian. he were ever brought to America he would be popular. "Skii fights something like Firpo of South America," said McTigue. "He comes in fast and swings hard and has a terrific right hand. He caught me early in the fight to left eye, which it took six sittches to close later. After that I didn't let him touch me. I think Skii would make a hit in America with his style if he were carefully managed." McTige is to fight Carpenter in Jersey City, July 14th. The Youngstown Nationals Want Games. Youngstown, O.—Manager Daniels is very much pleased with the record of his Youngstown Nationals, thus far this season, after having added such players as White, catcher, of Baltimore, from Richmond, of Michigan, from Smalltown of Siers, of Cleveland, of the Buffalo Gulf, of the Steubenville; Barkhurst, of Chicago; Lucas, of D. C.; Corbett, of Cleveland; Snages, of Toledo. He, Daniels, would like to hear from such semi-pro teams as the Cleveland Nationals, Homestead Grays, Indianapolis or Chicago, and would like to park with a seating capacity of 2,500 people will play all home games on Saturday and Sunday; abroad, other days.

He said: "I do not fear that any man trained as you men have been trained will ever try to conceal his actions under a white hood. If we cannot make America safe for future generations with the white wood and fiery cross of the man too cowardly to show his face, we had better surrender our boasted freedom and adopt a form of government which we can trust.

C.—(Special.)—That the sale of Treasury Savings Certificates has become a permanent part of the financing program of the United States government was divulged at a meeting just held in Washington, which was attended by the Savings Directors from the twelve Federal Reserve Districts of the United States, when plans were made for continuing the sale of these securities for years to come. sale of Government Savings Securities in order to minimize the loss from worthless investments. Mr. Wallace told the directors that there were many "land pirates" these days—"the pirates of finance." He declared that there were thousands of smooth-talking stock salesmen—full of gib promises—who are hard after the savings of the people in exchange for their get-rich-quick investments. "Go back home and tell your people to beware The Fourth District, comprising Ohio, Western Pennsylvania and parts of Kentucky and West Virginia, was represented by P. J. Wood of Columbus, Ohio, the Savings Director for the district. Mr. Wood went to Washington with sales figures for the last five years in excess of the record made by any other district of the country. Treasury Department officials were shown that the people of the Fourth District during the past five years have bought more Government Savings Securities than any other district in the United States, and that during the last year they led in the purchase of Treasury Savings Certificates. Lew Wallace, Jr., National Director of Savings, urged the District Directors to go back home and exert every influence and effort to increase the One of the famous inventors of New England was born in Ohio, in 1826, but nearly all his work was done in Boston, and he devoted his genius largely to improving household articles and things in personal use. During the time William H. Towers lived his name was the most frequent one upon the records of the patent office, and usually in connection with small articles. Occasionally his patents were large and important and were for the use of manufacturing companies. His first patent was for an apparatus for giving rest to the arm in writing; his second for a hot air register which had means of moistening the heated air to suit any person occupying the room; the third was for an improved horseshoe with flanges to fasten it to the hoof without using nails. He had a machine to open oysters, a creeper to prevent slipping on the ice, and this last one saved many serious accidents. In 1860 Mr. Towers gave his attention to improving the manufacture of brooms and put heavy cord among the strips of reed, making the broom wear well and also making it popular with housekeepers. The New England Broom Company took up the making of these and enormous quantities were sold. He took the common dressing pin and improved it by making near its center an oval enlargement, and this kept the pin in place, did not prevent it from entering the cloth, and it also stopped its being accidentally unfasted. He got another patent for making two slight nicks near the point of tee pin, and this served the same purpose as the oval enlargement. Several capitalists formed a company in Boston called the Union Pin Manufacturing Company, and the products were declared to be as good as any pins made in England. William Towers had another patent for a cork and corkscrew, and with this latter a wire passed thru the cork from the top to the bottom, where it was bent at the ends, and this drew the cork without any other aid. Among his inventions was an apparatus for heating rooms by gas, and it was very imple, for it was a sheet iron drum cone that was placed over any ordinary gas burner. In this way the drum cones could be carried in a trunk and rooms in hotels could be heated easily, while proprietors were unable to understand why their gas bills were large. Mr. Towers took out an important patent in 1865 that revolutionized the manufacture of leather, for it tanned this quickly and saved much money in the work, and it also saved much in material. Sheep and goat skins could be tanned in thirty minutes, caftkins in five days and the heaviest sole leather in thirty days. In the original method it took four months to tan good sole leather. Mr. Towers invented a material obtained from raw hide that could be sale of Government Savings Securities in order to minimize the loss from worthless investments. Mr. Wallace told the directors that there were many "land pirates" these days—"the pirates of finance." He declared that there were thousands of smooth-talking stock salesmen—full of gib promises—who are hard after the savings of the people in exchange for their get-rich-quick investments. "Go back home and tell your people to beware of the wild-cat stock salesman. He is more dangerous than the old-time pirate of the high seas ever thought of being." The government is particularly desirous of having as much of the money as possible that will come back to the people through the redemption of Victory notes, due May 20, 1923, invested in the 1923 Treasury Savings Certificates, which mature in five years and yield 4 per cent interest, compounded semi-annually. They are free from all state and local taxes (except estate and inheritance tax) and the normal federal income tax. These securities can be purchased from your local postmaster in denominations of $1,000, $140 and $25, or direct from the Treasury Savings Organization, 40 West Gay Street, Columbus, Ohio. used where hard rubber had been employed. His patent rights included not only this country but Europe as well, and a company was formed and bought these for $50,000. Whatever he saw he presented some means of improving it. It was said that there was hardly a manufacture or a trade that was safe from his in inventive genius; it was remarkable that he also had the genius to make his inventions pay well. USE NEW ELECTRIC LAMP Motorists, Watchmen and Others Employ Late Device A sturdy electrical lamp which obviates the difficulty of searching for special shapes of batteries to fit it, has recently been placed on the market. An ordinary dry battery furnishes the current. Two handles are affixed to the battery box, one of which is similar to the handle found on the old style oil lamp. The other handle is close to the side of the lantern and enables the user to manipulate the light in limited spaces. This handle makes the lantern very serviceable as a motorists "trouble light." In the side of the handle is cut a slot by means of which the lantern may be readily hung on a nail or hook. This light will be found serviceable especially for watchmen, farmers and others who formerly employed smoking, flickering kerosene lanterns.-Popular Science Monthly.

FURS CAUSE ANTHRAX? Scientists Say Neckpieces are Dangerous to wear Following an investigation, the department of health of West Virginia declares that persons who wear neck furs are jeopardizing their health because the arsenic used in the preparation of these furs causes a rash to break out on the skin which is exceedingly difficult to cure. Some also believe that furs are responsible for a number of cases of anthrax, an animal disease that is now attacking man—Pathfinder. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O EDUCATED INDIANS DO NOT GO BACK 65 PER CENT OF RED MEN WHO LEAVE WIGWAM FOR LIFE AMONG WHITES NEVER Those Left at Hame are Proud of Children Who Acquire "Sharp Tongues" Back to the blanket is no longer the rule for educated Indians. "Ninety five per cent of the graduates of Carlisle never return permanently to the wigwam." That statement was made in my presence by a full blooded Indian who is now a thrifty Philadelphia business man, writes Girard in Philadelphia Ledger. A. H. Nash and six of his brothers and sisters graduated at Carlisle. Perhaps you saw this fleet footed aborigine run in a Pennsylvania relay race, or dash across Penn's goal line when he was a member of "Fop" Warner's valiant football team. Anyhow, Mr. Nash is Indian all through, and he knows Indians. All though he couldn't talk English when at the age of 17 he arrived at Carlisle there is not now a trace of any strange accent, and he speaks most fluently and correctly the tongue of the world's dominant race. "That," said Mr. Nash, "is a peculiar thing about an Indian. When he learns another language he forgets an, strange sounding accent of his own tongue. That, as you know, is not true of a German, Frenchman, Japanese or Englishman, who acquires another language." Queer, isn't it? When this scion of a Northwestern tribe took a bride, he selected a paleface. "I can see in my children," he remarked, "some traits of both races. My 7 year old boy is just as keen for Indian stories as a full blooded white boy could be." Mr. Nash is expecting great things from the vocational training system recently introduced at Carlisle. He said 25 of the Carlisle boys had gone to Detroit to learn the automobile business. "And," he added, "it may interest you to know that an Indian now holds the record for the speediest assembling of a Ford car. He did the trick in two hours and fifty minutes beating the previous record by five minutes." Unless something in a big substantial way is done to prevent it, the Indian, according to Mr. Nash, will shortly have lost all knowledge of his forefathers' special arts. At the instance of the whites he has become so addicted to the cheap commercialism of machine-woven blankets, shop made pottery and factory laced baskets, all colored with imported German dyes, that his children will not even know how to make a vegetable or clay dye, nor how to weave a genuine Nayaho. "When I was a boy in Nebraska," said the Indian, "we colored our bows and arrows with the juice of a wild grape. Our warriors painted their faces with a mixture of red clay which would stick for many weeks." None of the new fangled dyes can be made to cing like those mysterious vegetable extractions used by the Red Man from the days before Pocahontas to the time of Sitting Bull. I was curious to learn from Mr. Nasn what his impressions of the white race are after many years of close association. "I often stand at the entrance to City Hall," he said, "and watch the faces of the crowds. To me the countenance of white people is nearly always terrible. Worry, alarm, fear, excitement or hunger seems to be written on the civilized face. "I suppose that business care for ages past have left their imprint on the white man's brow. And he is subject in big cities to so many perils dodging cars and crowds, that it also has made its mark. "The Indian on the plains or in the forest had always the same things to see and hear. He had no office worries. His face therefore, was not marred by those influences which affect the appearance of the whites." But Mr. Nash is a tremendous ad mirer of the energy, force and quick wittedness of the white races. When asked what is to be the future of the American Indian, this descendant of our western world's first occupant replied: "He won't die out, but he is rapidly marrying out." It is Mr. Nash's belief that of the ap proximately 300,000 Indians today only a third of them are now full blood. Intermarrying with the white race will tend to increase as education spreads among the Indians and they are brought gradually into closer communication with the whites. What opinion does the Indian back home hold of the Indian who comes to Carlisle or goes to other Government schools?

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers, of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harvey C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had exacted 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, inn, bar, restaurant, eating house, building, public vengeance 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 more than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the persecutor, received in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the 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 laws, leaving from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. By the Gillette Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city i venture to and to separate cover, the Ohio Law Report, Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, i. administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the consecrutions discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer.
