More Trained Nurses a Necessity, Too—The Excessive Death Rate—Unsatisfactory Distribution of Our Physicians and Surgeons
(Special to The Gazette.)
Washington, D. C. June 20—During the Census period 1910 to 1920 we had an increase of 633 Afro-American physicians, surgeons and osteopaths; 908 trained nurses; 631 dentists, and 207 clergymen. The proportion per capita Afro-American population for each of the above specified professional groups at that time was one physician, surgeon and osteopath to 2820 persons; as compared with 696 for the white physician. There was one Colored trained nurse to 3131 persons as against 650 persons for the white nurse, and we had only one dentist to every 9417 persons as compared with one for every group of 1723 whites. But the proportion of clergymen was one to every 535 persons as compared with one for 889 among the whites. In other words, there are 354 more white people per clergymen than among the Afro-Americans. Whether we are going to hell faster than the whites, and need more preachers to save us, or whether preaching is a softer job among us than among the whites. I am not prepared to say, but the cold statistical facts appear to indicate that there is something wrong somewhere and that while there is an average yearly increase of only 63 physicians; 90 trained nurses; and 63 dentists; our clergymen increase at the rate of about 207 per year. It is also interesting to note that our females are awakening to the opportunities afforded by professional careers, and that there are 65 female physicians, surgeons and osteopaths; 35 dentists, and 228 who wear the robes of the clergy. Aside from our clergymen who are lifting up their voices and holding out their hands everywhere, there seems to be, from the standpoint of our excessive death rate, an unsatisfactory
DOINGS OF THE RACE.
The Spingarn medal for 1923 has been awarded to Prof. George W. Carver, the noted agriculturist of Tuskegee, Ala., Institute. It is announced that deserving Afro-American students, prepared to pass the entrance examination at Princeton, N. J., University, will be admitted to the student body.
The Veterans' $2,000,000 hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., opened, June 2, with Col. R. H. Stanley, a white army physician (southerner) in charge. Thus far no Afro-American doctor has been certified.
Capt. Moody Staten, of Spokane, Wash., who was in France during the World War, has been appointed by Secretary of State Hughes to command the Liberian army at the request of the Liberian government. Capt. Staten sailed, June 19.
Attorney Emory B. Smith, former pastor of Lincoln Memorial Temple, Congregationalist, Washington, D. C., has been named field secretary of Howard University, with a salary of $4000 and an additional $4000 for traveling expenses.
Ten thousand dollars was donated to the endowment fund of the Mehary Medical School, Nashville, Tenn., by Heman E. Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Co., and the service Company, and chairman of the board of directors of the Citizens Trust Company, all of Atlanta, Ga.
Joseph J. Rhodes, of Texas, one of fourteen Afro-American students at Yale University, won second place in the first term examination, this spring. The honor carries with it enrollment as "Allis Scholars" and a cash award of $150. Young Rhodes is a graduate of Bishop College, Marshall, Texas.
Charles O. Dogan, a student of English High School, Boston; Mass., has been selected by Mayor Curley (Dem.) to read the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the old State House, July 4th, at the municipal Independence Day celebration. This is the first time that an Afro-American has been so honored.
Federal authorities were called upon, recently, to make rigid investigation into the K. K. writing of anonymous and threatening letters to Hon. Walter H. Cohen, recently named controller of customs for the Louisiana port, in recess appointment by President Harding. Not only were the K. K. K. threatening letters sent to Mr. Cohen, but also to the Hon. Emile Kunts (white), Republican collector of customs, and others of the officials about the office.
Atty. Isaac H. Nutter appeared before the New Jersey state board.
distribution, particularly of our physicians and surgeons, who appear to be in greater numbers in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Cleveland and Chicago than in all of the 16 southern states combined, where live fully eight million of our people. This is doubtless due to economic conditions in the rural districts, and to the disinlination of our physicians to accept hams, cabbage, poultry and eggs in lieu of cash fees. As a group they are not money mad, but it requires cash to educate children and to buy gas. Our physicians are not prepared to finance and to operate cold storage warehouses in which to store the agricultural products mentioned while waiting for favorable market conditions. Taken as a whole they are a fine set of men, and they are doing everything possible, in the cities, to decrease our alarmingly high death rate. Some of the most distinguished ones claim that our death rate could be considerably reduced, while we are waiting for a larger, number of qualified physicians, if the clergymen would become as interested and as active as our insurance companies in conducting health campaigns. Our medical men and most of the laymen consider a health sermon of equal if not of more importance than a funeral sermon, and we are all hoping that our thousands of clergymen will speedily adopt this viewpoint.

Gifts totaling $860,000 toward a $1,000,000 endowment for teacher's salaries were announced at commencement exercises of Flisk University, Nashville, Tenn, by President F. A. McKenzie. Some of the gifts are conditioned on the institution raising the million dollars. They include: General education board, $500,000; Carnegie Foundation, $250,000; Edward Harkness, New York, $50,000; Julius Rosenwald, Chicago, $25,000.
President Harding and Mrs. Harding, individually, were among those who sent magnificent, wreaths for the recent funeral of Colonel Charles Young in Arlington. The President received the entire Ohio Commission (of Afro-Americans), provided by an act of the Ohio Legislature, at the White House on the day following the funeral. The Colonel's mother, Mrs. Young, accompanied the commission, and the President expressed the deepest sympathy to the widow, and dwell earnestly upon what the loss of Colonel Young means to the entire nation.
The Afro-American Republican state conference of New Jersey has issued a call for a conference, of our voters of all states where they vote, at Atlantic City, N. J., July 20-21, 1923. They are to be guests of the New Jersey organization. The call says that race prejudice is the super-government in America, making a mockery of the Declaration of Independence and a scrap of paper of the Federal Constitution. Matters to be considered by the proposed conference are equality of white' policy of national Republ- membership in the party; the 'illyans; taxation without representation; enforcement of the Constitution in its entirety; concentration of the race's political forces to preserve our rights and privileges. Hon. A. Lee Beaty, age 54, was recently sworn in as an assistant U. S. District Attorney at Cincinnati. This is Ohio's second federal appointment for Afro-Americans, Prof. W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce, special assistant in the agricul-tural department at Washington, D. C., being the other one.
Siki Fined.
Paris, France, June 19—Battling Skii was fined 300 francs and lectured, today, in police court for firing a revolver in a cafe, recently, punching the nose of a waiter and insulting the policemen who arrested him. The judge added five francs for drunkenness.
HON. ANDREW F. STEVENS
The above is an excellent portrait of one of our two members of the Pennsylvania Legislature. Mr. Stevens is a member of one of our oldest, and most substantial Philadelphia families, and is a man of education, ability, blessed with a considerable amount of the "world's goods." He, it was, who introduced and secured the enactment, a few weeks' ago, of Pennsylvania's Mob-Violence Act or Anti-Lynching law, and as a result, is one of the few Afro-American legislators in the history of the country who has accomplished something worthwhile for the race. The basis of the Illinois and Pennsylvania Mob-Violence Acts is the Ohio Anti-Lynching law which, as is well known, has been singularly effective ever since it became a law, in 1896
MARCUS GARVEY CONVICTED!
"Provisional President, of Africa and Head of The Black Star Line Sentenced, Thursday.
New York City—Marcus Garvey, who gave himself the title of provisional president of Africa, was found guilty, Monday night, of defrauding investors of the Black Star Steamship Co. Three other defendants were acquitted. The jury had been out since early in the afternoon and was recalled by Federal Judge Mack, early Monday night, for further instructions. Garvey, who has had a picturesque career in America after working as a dock laborer in Jamaica, was charged with having induced Afro-Americans to invest their hard-earned savings in the steamship company which he headed. Hardly had his trial got under way when Garvey discharged his counsel (white), and undertook his own defense. Time and time again he was reprimanded by the court and his own witnesses gave testimony that in many quarters was construed as evidence for the government. At various times Garvey charged he had been threatened by agents of officials and there were numerous stories circulated to the effect that Judge Mack, the jurors and witnesses had been threatened. The latest of these were reported. Monday, with the result that an unusually heavy guard was placed in the court room. Garvey was remanded to the Tombs prison until Thursday when sentence was imposed. Motion for a new trial was overruled. His three co-defendants, Ellis Garcia, George Tobias, and Orland M. Thompson, were discharged. The maximum punishment for Garvey was five years in prison and a $1,000 fine.
Anti-Ku Klux Klan Bill a Law
Springfield, Ill.—A strong anti-mask bill directed at the Ku Klux Klan was passed by the Illinois senate, Monday night, by a vote of 26 to 1. It went immediately to the house for favorable action on a few senate amendments. The bill was introduced by Representative Roberts of Chicago, a member of the race.
White Map's Days Numbered In The Fast.
New York City.—"The white man's days in the East are numbered; fifty years will see Sumatra, India and the Philippines all under native rule." is the prediction made by Capt. Edward A. Salisbury, who arrived, June 15, aboard the Conte Rosso. Capt. Salisbury has just completed another tour of the world, made in the interest of the Southwestern Museum of California. "The long topic of conversation among white colonists in the East, whether they be Dutch, English, French or German," he said, "is how long can it last." Capt. Salisbury and his companions made the greater portion of the voyage in an eighty-three-ton sailing yacht.

The Peninsula State Fooling the North Just as the South Has Always Done—The Presbyterian Church Advance—The 14th, 15th and 18th Amendments to the U. S. Constitution
(Special to The Gazette.) "Florida, has redeemed itself at last," said the Tampa (Fla.) Times in commenting upon the wiping out of the convict system of that state by the last Legislature. Florida may have redeemed itself outwardly so far as its attitude toward white criminals is concerned but Florida shows no remorse of conscience for the murder of many black boys by this iniquitous system. Florida must be as safe from violence for colored men as it is for white men if "Florida is ever to redeem itself." There are people asking why Negroes are leaving the south? The answer is, the south is unsafe for them to live in. Those who execute the law there have no regard for the rights of black people. If the south would become as humane as New York, it would retain ninety percent of the colored people in this country. Brutality and oppression are driving them out of that section. To live in any country where one must concede "inferiority" and accept vile treatment without the protest, is unthinkable now. The policy of the south, seeking to get other portions of the country to take its attitude toward colored people, is reprehensible and every man Negro will fight this evil as long as breath is in his body. In this country there must be one law for every American citizen. One justice must be impartially meted out to all. If the south would redeem itself, it must do away with its discriminatory laws, throw open the ballot to every citizen alike and cease to rob colored people because there is no law to punish them. The religious forces of the south could not be aroused even though, a thousand Negroes suffered what Tabert suffered, Orthodoxy in religion so far as creeds are concerned, is but dirt when, in practice, religion is a silent-partner in crime. Force from without made Florida abolish this wicked system but it is from within that a people show real moral worth.
We believe in prohibition, but we have no respect for hypocritical prohibition. We believe in the Eighteenth Amendment, but we also have greater respect for the entire constitution. The next Presidential election will be fought with the liquor issue as one of the main questions to be answered by the electorate, but we believe it is the duty of every sane voter to demand of this gov-

Dr. William A. Byrd
The reason why the Eighteenth Amendment is being enforced with great difficulty is, this country has allowed the south to repudiate those amendments it dislikes and now the whole country that dislikes the Eighteenth knows this government can't rightly compel them to respect this latter. No more emphasis should be put on the Eighteenth than is put on the Fourteenth. Any state refusing to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments is no worse than another state that refuses to enforce the eighteenth. All of the Amendments are a part of the organic law. When this government raises no organized protest against the violation of one Amendment, it stifles itself when it raves about the non-enforcement of another. We stand ready to join hands with those who will fight for the enforcement of the whole constitution. We have no confidence in those who are concerned only about certain Amendments but indifferent towards others. Let us settle this matter right! The Federal Government must make the south respect the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments before it can effectively enforce any portion of the constitution. Where are the Constitutionalists?
(Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.
IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON-
TEND 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 are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race.
Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race, to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mam.) Guardian.

SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1923.
President Harding has given us his word that the new U. S. veteran hospital, at Tuskegee, Ala., will be manned by Afro-Americans and you can depend upon it that that will be the case just as soon as it can be arranged. It is no little job to do this and comply with the civil service rules, etc. So a little time is needed. Don't get impatient so soon.

The practical success of the Department of Justice in conducting war prosecutions is shown by its recovery of about $3,200,000, and the securing of judgments for $1,225,000 more. Cases are pending involving many more millions. The cost of the prosecutions has been but a fraction of the recoveries, while their moral effect gives them a large added value.
President Harding and John T. Adams, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, have perfected plans for a greater participation by women in party affairs. For years there has been close co-operation between prominent Republican women and the party leaders, and in recent campaigns women's organizations have been of material assistance in winning Republican votes. The new plan is to appoint a woman from each state to act in an associate or advisory capacity with the National Committee.

The American daily paper sport writers are doing their "darndest to put Champion Battling Siki in the same hole" they got Jack Johnson into with the latter's fool-assistance. The Sinegaleese has given them entirely too much of the same kind of assistance with his many escapades in Paris, France, and they are certainly taking full advantage of the fact. However, there is no good reason why they should make up lies about him and other mis-statements relative to him to further their contemptible plans to discredit Siki with the American public and cater to their fool-American prejudice.
Now comes the Louisiana "cracker" with threatening K. K. K. letters to the Hon. Walter H. Cohen and the Hon. Emile Kuntz, federal officials of that state, on appointment of the President of the United States. The former's reappointment as comptroller of customs of the port of Louisiana, after the U. S. Senate had failed to confirm his first appointment, is their "fly in the ciment." Walter and Emile, backed by the federal authorities to whom the letters have been referred, "will call the 'crackers' bluff" and continue to hold their positions just the same as before the fool-letter-writing began. Threatening federal officials is "going some," isn't it? It certainly is high time the government was taking a much more aggressive stand in the case of the Ku Klux Klan.
OUR NEED OF DOCTORS.
The inaccuracies in Secretary of Interior Hubert Work's interesting article in The Washington (D. C.) Times of June 15, deploring the lack of Afro-American doctors, arises from the fact that some one made the mistake of furnishing him with figures and other data taken from the census of 1910. He also failed to include osteopaths when referring to the number of physicians and surgeons. This latter, undoubtedly, because they are not classed as such. The 1920 census gives the "Negro" population as 10,463,131, and not 12,000,000. Our Mr. Hall in his article, on page one of this issue, places osteopaths, physicians and surgeons under the same classification and of course takes his figures and other data from the census of 1920. The result, as far as accuracy is concerned, is apparent.
In The Times article, referred to, Secretary Work very properly calls attention to the fact that Howard University is our only higher educational institution with a medical school and that our only other medical school is Meharry at Nashville. Tenn. He does not indicate a knowledge of the fact that a number of medical departments of leading universities and colleges (white), as well as "schools of medicine" in the North, are open to Afro-Americans, but stresses "the lack of medical schools maintained exclusively for the education as doctors and surgeons" of Afro-Americans, as well as the lack of trained nurses.
CUTTING, SHOOTING AND KILLING.
Last week, Wednesday evening still another murder was committed in E. 33rd St., between Central and Scovill Ave.'s. Thursday night of the same week, about midnight while the writer was in a drug store in the Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district two "Negro" women came in quarrelling, one accusing the other of saying that she was "trying to take her man" from her, referring to him as a dope-fleed, etc., and using the vilest language we have heard in a long time. Finally two policemen came in and drove them to the street, not, however, before the druggist had called their attention to the fact that one of the women had a long white-handled knife and had threatened the other woman with it. The policemen and the women adjourned to the corner of Scovill Ave. and E. 30th St., where both of the women continued the use of the vilest epithets which they hurled at one another while the officers stood near by listening to them and without making any effort to stop them or to take the knife from one of them, or to arrest them on any one of two or three charges they could have preferred against them. The following Friday, at noon in Central Ave. near E. 40th St., a woman of the race "performed" on the sidewalk for quite a while. Of course, using vile language. No arrest was made in this case, either. And yet our police authorities insist that that section of the city has "proper and sufficient police protection." Such occurrences are common, daily and nightly, in that district. Why our ministers continue to refuse to ask Mayor Kohler for proper and better police protection for our people in that vicinity is a question we would like to have answered. The conditions there are worse than deplorable. No one's life is safe, day or night, who is compelled to use the public thoroughfares in the Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district, these days. Three "Negroes" were shot, Saturday night, in a soft drink saloon in Central Ave., between E. 36th St. and E. 37th St., one dying later. The other two were in a serious condition, Monday, at Charity hospital, Sunday night another "Negro" was found dead in E. 39th St., shot to death. There were several other shooting and cutting affrays, Sunday, and Saturday and Sunday nights.

Want Another Battle.
New York City—An offer of $100,000 to Mike McTigue on a return match with light-heavyweight Champion of the World Battling Ski in Dublin on Sept 7, was made last week, by Irish interests, according to Joe Jacobs, McTigue's manager. Jacobs indicated he would accept, but it is not thought that Champion Ski will, owing to the unfairness with which he was treated in his contest with McTigue in Ireland on last St. Patrick's day. This is doubtless what caused the Dublin sportsmen to make the offer of last week for another bout. To the foregoing must be added the additional fact that the St. Patrick's day fight was not a contest for the light-heavyweight championship of the world, the title Battling Ski still holds, according to the French and all other boxing commissions in Europe.
"Prejudiced American Fling..."
"Prejudiced American Fling." Paris, France—Robert Eudeline, manager of Eugene Criqu, world's featherweight champion, has cabled the French boxing federation as follows: "Have arranged nothing for Ski in the United States." Eudeline's cable is not understood here, as neither Ski nor his manifold of feathers is anything of a kind of Eudeline. It is regarded here as another "prejudiced American fling," as Eudeline would not dare so cable Paris and expect to retain his standing here. This is Paris, France, and not Paris, Tennessee (in America).

Shortstop and Manager Roach of the Johnstown opened the ninth with a lofty fly to left that Wilson camped under only to have the ball pop out. Cushman forced Roach and R. Johnson flied out, but McCall started the trouble by passing Litzenger, a pinch hitter. Kline then singled, scored Cushman and Litzenger followed him across the plate with the winning run when Wilson threw wild to the plate. Hammond was the only Tate player

to take kindly to the offerings of the Johnstown Fingers, registering a home-run and a single and being robbed of another hit in the ninth. McCall pitched good ball and deserved a victory. He retired seven batters on strikes but was wild at times, five visitors being granted base on balls. Wilson got a two-base hit.
The Tate Stars managed to obtain an even break in their two-game series with the Independents, Monday afternoon, winning the second and third games. The Field 0 to 2. McClure held the visitors to never scattered hits and was never in danger although the Tates made three errors and he passed four Johnstown batters. Cordova and Johnson each got a two-base hit.

E, F. Albee, president of the B.
F. Keith circuit. of theaters, “has
ruled that “all persons, regardless
of color, race or creed must haye fair
treatment in all Keith theaters” and
says that “there was a mistake on
some one’s part” when an Afro-
American was refused a seat in the
orehestra section of Keith's Palace
theater of this city, recently. He
also writes: “I have given instruc-
tions which I hope will render such
errors impossible in the future.” It
transpires that there were six per-
sons in the party refused orchestra
Seats and that one of them was
ejected from the theater for refusing
to surrender his seat-check. And we
have.yet to learn that that “Negro”
is man enough to enter suit against
the Keith Palace Theatre Company
to punish it and recover the dam-
‘ages clearly due him under our Ohio
Givp/ Rights and other laws for the
refusal and his mistreatment. Lord,
have merey! This 1s a splendid ex-
planation of why members of our
race are go often insulted, mistreat-
ed and even abused as this “Negro”
was, in public plaras, It is because
they lack the manhood and woman-
hood to strike back in a proper way

earned money to be as grossly in-
‘sulted and discriminated against as
they could possibly be. This, too,
right before the eyes of hundreds
ot the lowest and vilest whites in
the city of Cleveland as well as
many good members of the other
class (race). Let our ministers and
other local leaders tell our people
to stay away from color-line Luna
Park and the Wm. Taylor, Son &

friends they can to do so also, since
they will not use our law to stop
the illegal discrimination.

(Special to The Gazette.)
Washington, D. C.-On June 28, 1916, Congress passed a bill known as the Federal Farm Loan Act. Its purpose is to lower the interest rates on first mortgage farm loans, to provide long term loans with the privilege of repayment in installment, to reduce the value of the borrower, and to make it easier for the purchase of land by those who wish to farm. ALL actual farmers, prospective farmers, tenants or farm laborers who desire to kill off short term mortgages held against their property, who are about to purchase land for their own use, who wish to make permanent improvements, or purchase livestock, fertilizers or materials in a local National Farm Loan Association, and may become members when their applications for loans have been favorably acted upon by the directors of the Association. The final appraisal of the value of the property offered determines the amount of money that can be loaned, up to 50 per cent of the value of the land, plus 20 per cent of the appraisal of the improved improvements. The Federal Farm Loan Board appoints the appraiser, upon recommendation of the Federal Loan Bank of the district.
National Farm Loan Associations are local corporations, chartered by the Federal Farm Loan Board of the U. S. Treasury Department at Washington, D. C., and they can be organized by ANY ten or more farmers whose applications for loans reach a total of not less than $20,000. No farmer can borrow less than $100, or more than $10,000 on first mortgage, the maximum rate being six per cent per annum, payable, at the option of the borrower, every six months or yearly. In addition to the six per cent interest charge is another charge of ONE per cent. This total of SEVEN per cent applies to the paying off of both the interest and the principal, and can be arranged by the borrower to extend from five to thirty-three years. No loans are made for less than five
Washington, D. C., June 7.—The recent visit to this city of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, has occasioned considerable talk among the politicians, and among those who are carefully watching every movement of our racial leaders.
Mr. Smith had a conference with the President and it has been rumored that it was a heart to heart talk, a talk that covered every phase of the racial situation particularly in its relations to economic and political conditions. Among other subjects discussed, it is said that Mr. Smith pleaded for a more liberal administration enacted by Congress, and expressed the hope that in the matter of loans on farm property that the 1600 Afro-American farmers in Ohio, who operate farms valued in excess of nine million dollars, be permitted to negotiate long term loans under the same favorable conditions that are given to farmers belonging to other groups. It is argued that our farmers paid taxes the same as all other farmers and that they were entitled to nothing less than a square deal, especially under a Republican administration. In a conference with other prominent men, the question of the in-
While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

years, a person who borrows for a longer term of years has the privilege, after five years, of paying off the entire mortgage, or of reducing it by making any number of prepayments on his loan. If allowed to run thirty-three years, the seven per cent yearly payments will fully cancel the principal and all interest charges. In other words, a payment of $70 per year on each $1,000 borrowed takes care of both the interest and the principal, and there are no RENEWALS to be bothered with, or burdensome COMMISSIONS to be paid for the service.
If there is no National Farm Loan Association within easy reach, or if there is one in your neighborhood that does not care to admit the Negro farmers living in the locality to membership, it is your duty to report the FACTS in the case (not what you think) to the Federal Farm Loan Board, the organization of the district in which you live, or the Federal Farm Loan Board, Washington, D. C. While the law specifically states that ANY ten or more farmers may organize an Association, it is not the idea to have a multiplicity of associations in the same locality, or to have SEPARATE associations based on color, religious belief or nationality. Congress enacted this legislation for the benefit of ALL farmers, rather than for the benefit of a few, and no monopoly of territory will be allowed to any Association.
This is a splendid opportunity for farmers throughout the entire country to cancel their present mortgage indebtedness, to purchase additional land, to improve their farming equipment, to increase the number and to improve the grade of livestock, and to make permanent physical changes that tend to increase the productive value of their farms, such changes as are made by clearing, tilling, draining, fencing and building, Capsules on "How farmers may form a National Farm Loan Association" may be secured free by addressing the Federal Farm Loan Board, Treasury Department, Washington, D. C. Chas. E. Hall.
dustrial development of the race in Ohio came up for discussion. Concerning this phase of racial development, Mr. Smith assured the group that he would exert every influence possible to have the Governor of Ohio appoint an efficient man of the race to a place on the Ohio Industrial Commission where he would be in a position to pay particular attention to the welfare of those of the race who are engaged in manufacturing and mechanical occupations. Mr. Smith also expressed an interest in the splendid progress being made in Ohio by the building and loan associations under the control and operation of Ace American officials and suggested that Ohio might be the first state to extend official recognition and encouragement to this group of constructive men who are helping to solve the housing situation through the method of home ownership.
These new ideas injected into the political atmosphere by Ohio's pioneer Afro-American editor has had the effect of directing our attention to the economic as well as to the political development of the race whose success depends largely upon the effect constructive industrial, financial and political organization. Charles E. Hall.
"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his dutyares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant 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.

Comparisons Prove it to Have Been a Unique Beast of Colossal Size
After continuing study of parts of the skeleton of a prehistoric animal exhumed over forty years ago by a settler named Tuttle from the bed of Black Creek at Seneca, Lanewae county, Michigan, a group of leading scientists and naturalists have come to the conclusion that the bones be belonged to an animal weighing from thirty to fifty tons, being from 21 to 28 feet in height, and not less than 60 feet in length; also that it was a horned, split hoof, grass eating animal.
That this particular antediluvian wonder was of gigantic proportions is clearly proven by comparing parts of the skeleton with bones of the skeleton of a horse. The remains of this colossal mastodon are in a class by themselves as is shown by a comparison of other monsters that existed when the world was young, there being no record of a similar find that in any way resembles this animal.
Acid and knife tests prove the horns it be of bone formation, also that they were hollow and filled with pith, while the tusks are ivory and of solid formation. The double socket at the end of the foreleg bone proves the animal to be of the split hoof species, while a quarter section of a tooth, 3 inches square, undoubtedly a part of a molar, indicates that this ancient denizen of herbivorous tendency and experienced little or no difficulty in browsing from the tops of tall trees. All the citen receiving flattering offers, Mr. Tuttle still retains his collection of bones.
IMPROVED FISH STRINGER
AMONG LATEST PATENTS
A Slotted Tubular Device that Holds Them Fast or Releases at Low Speed
A new patented device designed as an improvement in fish stringers, consists of a tubular cross piece having the strings inserted and made fast therein and projecting from a slot which extends from a point near one end of the center. The slot near the end of the cross piece is caused to make a half turn about the tube and then to pass out thru the end of the tube, thus forming an irregular end opening which makes a hook like member that will hold the string in the slot when it is desired to strip the fish from the string.
In such position the cross piece forms a smooth continuation of the string, and therefore permits the fish to slip freely, but when the string is caused to hang from the slot at the center of the cross piece it forms a stop to hold the fish on the string.
At the other end of the string is attached a stringing point which has a disgorging arrangement for facilitating the removal of a hook when caught deep in the fish's throat. In addition a wooden handle is slipped over the string to furnish a convenient means of carrying fish. The whole device, invented and patented by a citizen of Birmingham, Ala., is extremely simple in its design and it meets every requirement of the fisherman in connection with the stringing, carrying, and unstringing of his fish.
COMPARES STATE LAWS
A foreign investigator coming to our country would doubtless be impressed by the similarity in our 48 state constitutions. He would find that they all provide for a governor, popularly elected; two legislative houses the members of which are elected by districts and a "separation of powers" of government into legislative, executive and judicial. This type was established early, and is clung to as a sort of political religion.
But as soon as we inquire into the details of any one of these uniform features, we find diversity, says the New Republic. For example, the length of the term for governor varies from one year to four. Half of the states give the governor a four year term; 22 give a two year term, and one, New Jersey, gives a three year term, while Massachusetts elects a governor every year. Here we have variety without any particular reason. There is nothing magical about any particular length of term. The old idea was to avoid too long a term in order to prevent abuse of power. The constitution of Massachusetts is very old, hence this very old idea concerning the length of the governor's term persists. Too short a term cannot favor efficiency, owing to lack of experience in so short a term. True, the incumbent may be re-elected, but the trouble and expense of a state campaign every year is not attractive. There has been no complaint of length of term in the four year states.
INDIANS BURIED IN CIRCLE
Ancient Graveyard Unearthed in an Oregon Town
Workmen excavating for a base
ment near the river, in the center of
Oregon City, Ore., uncovered twenty
skeletons of Indians buried in a circle,
their heads together and the bodies
radiating like the spokes in a wheel.
The remains were embedded in a clay as hard as stone and apparently had for many years lain where they were found. In two of the skeletons arrow heads were found enmeshed in the bones indicating that the Indians had been slain in battle.

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 17th 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 or color, the unlawful enjoyment of the accommodations, advance facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fenced not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both.
Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered by the court, and in isolation in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme Court, and 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. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919.
