DOINGS OF THE RACE Statistics show that eighty-five per cent of the southern immigrants are sticking to their jobs here in the North. The West Virginia legislature appropriated $545,000 for our W. Va. Collegiate Institute, the week of June 16, '23. New oil wells in and near Boley, Okla., are making 'many of our people wealthy in and near that little Afro-American town. The late Alexander C. Powell, private messenger to President Arthur, who died, June 2, in Jersey City, N. J., left an estate valued at more than $45,000. John L. Whitfield was arrested in Detroit, Monday evening, and brought to Cleveland, Wednesday evening, on a charge of having brutally murdered Patrolman Griffin (white). Bishop Heard announced, recently, that the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company of Durham, a race enterprise, had agreed to make a loan of $100,000 to Wilberforce University. It transpires that Capt. Napoleon B. Marshall is only a U. S. clerk in Haiti and suffers, in common with the natives, from the American color-line there. He ought to resign and come home: Leroy Brown of Brooklyn is the champion marble-shooter of Greater New York. Mayor Hylan presented him with a gold medal, and he will get a free trip to Washington, D. C., all from the N. Y. Evening World. Benner C. Turner, age 17, of Columbus, Ga., graduated from Phillips, Andover, June 15, 1923, with cum laude. He was the winner of the Harvard-Andover Prize of $300 for high scholarship. He will enter Harvard University in September to work for the A. B. degree. A most encouraging development of our Tuskegee U. S. Veterans' Hospital situation has been the U. S. Veterans' Bureau at Washington, D. C., requesting our National Medical Association to furnish a list of our qualified physicians for the staff of the hospital. Judge H. M. Reid of the city court of Atlanta, Ga., on June 14, 1923, gave Mrs. Mary Harper a verdict for $20,000 damages against the Southern Railway. Company for the death of her husband who was killed in a wreck, last year. He was a mail carrier. The senior class of the Penngrove (New Jersey) High school refused to be graduated because the principal had put as the speaker, next to the viedictorialist and the next to the Douglas Shoe, one of the boys who got the distinction because of his scholarship. Charles Davis, 32, and Ida Williams, age 17 (white), are in jail at M. Carmel, N. Y., having been caught after they had fed together and roamed the country in an automobile.

Ferguson, a graduate of the University of Illinois, with the degree of B. S. in civil engineering, to a position in the State Highway Construction department refused him by "underlings" because of his color. He was colored that Ferguson be refunded all unnecessary expenses in the way of railroad fare and hotel bills he was put to. When the original "Shuffle Along" Co. closed its engagement in the Bronx, N. Y. City, June 16, the company dissolved. For three years it has been the leading Afro-American musical comedy organization and has attracted so much favorable comment for its totally surprising two years' run at the Sixty-third Street. Theater. N. Y. City, as to justify the sending out of several road shows under the name. Sissle & Blake headed the company. Lynchings For Past Six Months New York City—Lynchings in the first six months of 1923 dropped to eleven, as compared with thirty-three for the same period in 1922. The decrease was attributed to the northward migration of our people and a desire to retain that labor in the south. Florida had three lynchings, Georgia two and Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas one each. BRANDON AND HEFLIN Still Fighting Afro-American Personnel of Our U. S. Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee—Always Want All the Jobs. Montgomery, Ala.—Gov. Brandon, Sunday afternoon, met with a committee of Tuskegee citizens (white) behind closed doors to discuss the situation brought about by an announcement from Washington that President Harding would send an Afro-American personnel, to the Tuskegee hospital for disabled war veterans. Protest of white citizens of the community was made recently against such action. Coming out of the conference, which lasted four hours, Gov. Brandon said, "we are still hopeful that President Harding will carry out what Tuskegee citizens believe to have been a promise on the part of the government for white physicians and officials at the hospital. The sending of a Negro personnel, I fear, would be detrimental to the Negro race in the south." Senator Heflin, of Alabama, also conferred with the committee. The Alabama senator told them he would file a "vigorous protest" with President Harding against the sending of Afro-American officials to Tuskegee. The committee expressed fear trouble—might result, should the government place Afro-Americans in charge. White citizens of Tuskegee lay their claim on the government for white control of the Afro-American hospital in a telegram said to have been circulated in their midst previous to the erection of the hospital, promising white authorities. The telegram, they say, was signed by an official of the Treasury Department. Labor Agent Arrested Laurence, S. C.—Charged with entitleing labor, to the North, Alton Purvis (white) of Oklahoma City, Okla. was arrested here, recently, by Policeman A. I. Boyd and turned over to Sheriff Heid. Purvis had completely depopulated the town of Waterloo of Afro-American inhabitants, and some wealthy white women were forced to do servants' work and act as laborers in the field, to prevent crop failure. He took his arrest good-naturedly and expressed the opinion that his work "had been well done." "I feel like an emancipator," he said. "People were held in absolute slavery here and I don't mind suffering after liberating them." Over 500 left this section within three weeks. Good! THE CITY COUNCIL ASKS A Thoro Investigation of the Killing of Mrs. Rosella Wilson Walker By A Policeman, Several Weeks Ago. WHEREAS, Rosella Wilson Walker was shot and killed by a member of the Cleveland Police department, near Scovill Ave. and E. 38th St., on or about the third day of June, 1923. Now, therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLEVELAND, STATE OF OHIO: That the Council Committee on Fire and Police be and is hereby authorized to make an investigation of the arrested shooting and killing, and that said Committee be and is hereby authorized to summon and examine witnesses and to issue subpoenas to compel the attendance of such witnesses as may be necessary. The above resolution was introduced in the City Council, Monday evening, by Councilman Tom Fleming. Prosecutor, Stanton had a hasty ex parte "investigation," June 4, but, what our people of this community want is a real one, that will hear witnesses of both sides. The woman in question was shot while riding in an automobile which her husband had stolen. A policeman in an auto pursuing the stolen machine shot at her husband and struck Mrs. Walker, killing her almost instantly. The resolution was scheduled to be introduced, last week Monday evening, but the Councilman's absence from the city prevented it. The resolution is now in the hands of the Mayor. "Flight K. K. K. to the Death." Columbus, O. June 25.—"It behooves men who love their country and its lawful institutions to arouse themselves and fight the Ku Klux Klan—fight it to the death." This is the challenge hurled by Department Commander Gaylord M. Saltzgaber of the the Grand Army of the Republic today at the opening business session of the fifty-ninth annual encampment of the Ohio department of the G. A. R. E. E. Holmes (white), national secretary World War Veterans, will deliver two open-air speeches in Cleveland, one at E. 51st St. and Woodland Ave., this Saturday evening, the other on Public Square, Sunday evening, on "The Menace of the Ku Klux Klan." Holmes says there is a bitter contest constantly going on in the south between the World War Veterans and the Ku Klux Klan, and he is in a position to have first-hand information on the problem. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Washington, D. C.—The legal battle in the Federal Court, at Chicago between officials of the American Unity League and the Ku Klux Klan has served to focus attention upon the possibility of legal proceedings against the latter organization such as were taken by the Federal government to curb the Klan of Reconstruction days. What these methods were and the effectiveness with which they were used is learned from reading official messages and reports of that time. A report made to President Grant by the then U. S. Attorney-General, George H. Williams, April 19, 1872, and transmitted by the President to the House of Representatives, indicates the success with which the Federal authorities had combatted the Klan conspiracy to prevent enforcement of the federal laws. Granty, Chambers, and Grant's Characterization of Klan. That President Grant entertained in doubts as to the character of the Klan in the reconstruction, eras shown by quotations, and the message to the House of Representatives, April 19, 1872, to which was attached the report of the Attorney-General-from which quotations were GARVEY GETS FIVE YEARS On a Fraud Charge—"Provisional President of Africa" Fined, Too—Friends Cheer Him. New York City.—Marcus Garvey, "provisional president of Africa," was sentenced by Federal Judge Mack here, last week Thursday, to serve five years in Leavenworth prison and to pay a fine of $1,000 for using the mails to defraud. So many officers were in court when the sentence, which is the maximum, was imposed, that few of Garvey's admirers could gain admission. That did not prevent them assembling outside the federal building, and as their hero was led out, staging a demonstration such as City Hall park probably had never before witnessed. The cordon of officers surrounding Garvey had a bad fifteen minutes. A crowd of 100 or more, many of them women with babies in their arms, surged toward the "provisional president of Africa," as Garvey styled himself. Some of the women became hysterical and cried and laughed alternately. Garvey's admirers broke through the guard and wrung the hands of the leader, who took the extended palms indifferently. He said nothing. One woman dropped to her knees on the hot pavement and cried out: "Dear God, Christ died on the cross for the same thing they are punishing Garvey for. Dear God, protect him." There was a mighty chorus of "Amens." Other women, quoted Scripture and called down heavenly watchers for the convicted man. Deputy U. S. marshals finally recovered their prisoner and pushed him into a patrol wagon. Join Chicago Church Federation: Chicago, Ill.—Admission of representatives of our church to the local Church Federation was granted at a meeting of the Executive board of that body, recently. This takes in the churches of our several Methodist and Baptist denominations, and is made on the approval of the committee on race relations. It was stated that 30,000 to 40,000 of our people came into Chicago from the South, every year, and the action of the Church Federation is intended as a welcome to them into the Protestant fold. Judge Walter P. Steffen, last week, denied motions by attorneys for Mrs. Katherine Prince for a new trial, following the granting of a divorce on May 23 to her husband, the Rev. Boston J. Prince, now of Cleveland, O. In the argument on the motion, Attys. Schwartz and Cohn argued that the minister's ex-wife had not had a fair trial. Dr. Prince was represented by Atty. John H. Randle.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. ILLINOIS WALLOPS KLAN. Springfield, Ill.; June 27.—Representative Roberts' anti-Ku-Klux Klan bill today became a law by the governor's approval. The House promptly concurred in the Senate's amendments and the bill then was sent to the Governor for his signature. It makes it unlawful to appear in public places while hooded, robed or masked to conceal identity, and provides heavy penalties. IN UNION IT IS STRENGTH LE COPY FIVE CENTS K. THE PRESIDENT the Ku Klux Klan Was criminal Association—Much of cable to the Organization Today! given. Referring to the Klans in certain counties of South Carolina, President Grant wrote: "They are connected with similar combinations in other counties and states, and no doubt are part of a grand system of criminal associations pervading most of the southern states. The members are bound to obedience and secrecy by oaths which they are taught to regard as of higher obligation than the lawful oaths taken before civil magistrates. They are organized and armed. They effect their objects by personal violence, often extending to murder. They terrify witnesses; they control juries in the state courts, and sometimes in the courts of the United States. Systematic perjury is one of the means by which prosecutions of the members are defeated. From information given by officers of the state and of the United States and by credible citizens, I am justified in affirming that the instances of criminal violence perpetrated by these combinations within the last twelve months in the above named counties could be reckoned by thousands." PAID $4700 FOR CASKET And Then Judge Sliced Price to $725—Rogers Must Return $3,316 and Dembo $3,685 Atty. Joseph Dembe, (white), and James E. Rogers, undertaker, were declared by Judge Alexander Hadden, last week Wednesday, to have "concealed, embezzled or carried away property of the estate of Edward R. Brandon." This accusation was brought by the administrator. Brandon, who was a city "white-wing," died, some months ago, and although thought to be penniless, it was later discovered he left an estate of $16.188, with T. W. Walker, a friend, as administrator. Walker claimed he went to Dembe for legal advice. He said Dembe "made a trip to Florida" taking his family with him, and charged it up to the estate. Also, he took out attorney fees of $4450. Judge Hadden said the evidence showed. The judge said the fees should not have been over $700 and that Dembe took an excess of $3685. Rogers collected a $5165 bill for burying Brandon, the evidence showed, including $4,700 for a casket, $150 for a steel vault and $75 for a suit of clothes. Judge Hadden allowed $725 for the casket, $60 for the vault and $15 for the clothes and fixed his excess at $3,316. Liens will be established against all property of Dembe and Rogers to collect the money and give it back to the administrator. Judge Hadden said, the money served as an assistant county. prosecutor when Cyrus Locher was county prosecutor. Undertaker Rogers refused to comment on the decision. Dembe said "that in any dispute as to the amount of my fees I am willing to take the judge's ruling. If he thinks that $700 is a fair fee I am not willing to argue about it and will pay the difference to the administrator." Dembe said he had told the judge this and no journal entry would be made in the case. Why Our People Leave the South. Rayston, Ga. It is hard here. Our people are afraid to do what they can. They are white-capping them here every chance they get. I know of two cases, recently. They whipped a boy about running away. He did not owe a penny. Then they whipped one of our preachers, last night, for nothing. The police arrest our people and turn them over to the mob. That is why they are leaving here rapidly. All have just about left the farms and now they are leaving the towns. SHERIFF HALTS MOB Savannah, Ga.—It was demonstrated here, last week Tuesday night, that when an earnest effort is made by the authorities, backed by the better element of citizenry, mob rule can be suppressed and the murderous efforts of the lynchbillies of the South defeated. Following the arrest of Walter Lee, a young man of the race, on suspicion of having beaten a white woman with an iron bar, a gang of over 2,000 men, boys and women formed with the expressed intention of battering down the fall and lynching Lee, who stoutly has declared his innocence of the crime charged against him.

SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1923. No sane, unprejudiced persons believed the recent foolish charge that Henry Ford was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Too many Afro-Americans work in the Ford plants in Detroit and elsewhere. Prof. Irving Fisher has written a book entitled "League or War." After observing the number of wars that have been in progress in Europe ever since the League began to function, one might well suggest that the title should be "League and War." Marcus Garvey was sentenced to five years in the government prison at Atlanta, Ga., but the change made to Leavenworth, Kan., at his request. Apparently he has lost faith in his friend, Simmons, Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, whose home and headquarters are in Atlanta, Of course President Harding was not in any wise responsible for the discrimination in seating persons who heard him speak in the St. Louis, Mo., Coliseum, last week Thursday night. It was the work of "illy-white" Republicans (?) of the local (St. Louis) committee in charge of the affair. "Smoke them out." Editor Mitchell! --- There is no objection to our physicians having a hospital of their own so long as they provide for and sustain it, and do not ask the city or county authorities to give our people of this community more segregation. A private institution of the kind, they can have as well as others who have the good sense to equip and maintain them independent of city and county assistance. This we believe is the position of Dr. F. D. Webster whose circular letter anent the matter was received, the first of this week. LOYALTY COST HIM HIS JOB Editor Wm. Warley, of the Louisville (Ky.) News, has again lost his city job because he insisted upon proper treatment for his people from local Republicans. "Twas ever thus, Brother Warley. A newspaper editor and publisher simply cannot do his whole duty to his people and hold political office. If our people would only properly appreciate such leaders as our good friend Warley their progress in some communities would be much more rapid and better. Such leaders are not numerous for that reason more than any other. Some years ago, Mr. Warley resigned a position in the mall service at Louisville in order to properly edit his paper and has done the race, not only locally but nationally, some very telling service ever since. Let our good people of that city rally to his support now as never before. He deserves it. He has earned it. More power to you and your kind, Editor Wm. Warley! DIRTY, CONTEMPTIBLE! If one did not know better, he or she would think that Afro-Americans of the South were wards of the nation instead of tax-payers and citizens, after reading the article from Montgomery, Ala.; published elsewhere in this paper. A U. S. Senator and the Governor of that state conferred "with a committee of Tuskegee citizens (white) behind closed doors," last Sunday afternoon, to devise ways and means by which they could thwart the will of the President of the United States, who has promised that the personnel of our U. S. Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee shall be Afro-American. Such an exhibition of a total lack of shame and the possession of a nerve and gall, such as only southern Democrats and "ily-white" Republicans (?) (of all Americans) have, in their quest for all the governmental offices and positions in the southland, is something impossible to parallel anywhere else in the world. They proscribe and segregate our people of that section of the country in every conceivable way regardless of the fact that as tax-payers they more than do their part to help support the government. In the face of all this, they break their own proscriptive laws and customs and try to force themselves or their kind upon our people, whenever there is a possibility of securing a job or position in the south. To do this dirty, contemptible thing they will stoop to almost anything. Note the fact in this particular (Tuskegee) case that, in addition to "protesting," the white citizens of that community are sending broadcast throughout the country implied threats "that trouble might result" through a failure upon the part of the government to comply with their shameless insistence that a white personnel be placed in charge of the new U. S. Veterans Hospital for Afro-Americans at Tuskegee. More than two years ago, President Harding was told that if he appointed an Afro-American to a position of any consequence in the South that his appointee would be killed. In the appointment and re-appointment of the Hon. Walter H. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans, the President has "called that bluff," for bluff it is pure and simple, twice in the last six months, with the result that in recent weeks the fool-threats, enamating from the Ku Klux Klan in New Orleans, to kill Mr. Cohen have been advertised pretty generally in the newspapers of the country. This is the "club" that southern Democrats and lily-white Republicans (?) were successful in holding over the President's head for quite a year and a half, until he saw through the scheme, with the result that the Cohen appointments were made. We do not think that this latest threat, "that trouble might result" in case of the appointment of an Afro-American personnel of our U. S. Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee, will have any influence with the President who has promised, and we feel sure will keep that promise in spite of the threat-smoke-screen Senator Tom Heflin, Governor Brandon and their committee of white citizens at Tuskegee have thrown out. POSITIVELY SILLY Senator Overman of North Carolina visited Postmaster General Harry S. New on June 14 of this year and asked the latter to elevate W. N. Hales, a southern white, who was acting as helper in the railway mail service, under orders of three Afro-American clerks, to clerk in charge on the line running from Goldsboro, N. C., to Beaoufort, S. C., simply because he was white and in the face of the fact that, under the government seniority rule and efficiency, test, Hales' record showed that after more than thirty-four years in the service he was not qualified for the position and had been so informed. This is another shameless exhibition on a par with that of Tuskegee in connection with the U. S. Veterans Hospital. When it comes to our people, the south and the average southerner, ignorant and intelligent, seem to learn little or nothing with the passing years but apparently grow more ignorant and silly. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1923. PRIME SPORT NEWS PRIME SPORT NEWS Godfrey Knocks Out Dempsey. Los Angeles, Calif.—According to a statement, alleged to have been made by Jim Johnson, mayor of Shelby, Mont., last week, Big "Kid" Godfrey, Jack Dempsey's sparring partner, let go a swift uppercut to the jaw and the famous title-holder fell to the canvass for the count. Godfrey is a "Negro." Siki Again Suspended. Paris, France — Battling Sikl, champion light heavyweight of the world, was suspended, June 18, 23, by the French boxing federation for fouling Morelle in a bout, June 16. The gendarmes saved him from rough handling by a mob that way laid him at the exit as he left. Tate Stars Beaten. Canton, O.—The Tate Stars of Cleveland were defated by the Rochester (Pa.) Reds, 6 to 4, here, last week Friday afternoon, as the feature of the picnic of the veterans of the Pennsylvania railroad. The Stars got off to an early lead, scoring three runs in the first inning on four hits and a walk, but the Rochester outfits came from the rear and tied Giantz single to left in the ninth inning brought in the winning runs. Johnson made a two-base hit and Miles two three-basers. FLAG CODE. Sixty patriotic organizations recently sent representatives to Washington to formulate a code for the proper use of the American flag and the respect that should be accorded it, and to promote the study of the words and music of the "Star Spangled Banner." A permanent committee was appointed to disseminate the work of the conference throughout the country. State legislatures will be asked to enact uniform laws governing the flag, and to recognize universally the "Star Spangled Banner" as the national anthem. President Harding addressed the convention and gave hearty support to its objects. The results of the meeting ought to prove an effective antidote to the internationalism, communism, and false pacifism with which the country is afflicted. MELLON EN TOUR. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon hopes to make his trip to Europe simply a vacation outing for himself and family. If he has his wish his sojourn abroad will be in striking contrast to the visits of prominent foreigners to this country. Almost invariably those callers have combined propaganda with pleasure, and have accepted every invitation to address our citizens and instruct them in their proper attitude toward allied debts to the United States and other subjects of common interest. How would our own officials be received if they undertook to return the compliment? Fortunately they have better taste and, like Secretary Mellon, mind their own business while accepting the hospitality of other nations. ARTFUL MR. GIBBS. Sir Philip Gibbs, the eminent British journalist, is the author of a series of syndicated articles published in the United States concerning the English royal family and other matters intimately connected with British life. They are interesting and well written, but are worthy of special comment only because similar stories pertaining to French, Italian, Russian or other nationalities are conspicuous by their absence. Their publication shows how easy it is to spread broadcast through the United States propaganda, apparently innocuous, but catering to a closer entente between this country and Great Britain, and having for its ultimate purpose the cancellation of most of the British debt to this country, entrance of the United States into the league of nations, or even a reunion of the two countries. These are not idle speculations but were the announced ideals of the late Cecil Rhodes, the late Lord Northcliffe, and other prominent Englishmen. Only the other day an influential London newspaper, telling of the payment of the first installment of interest and principal on the British debt to this country, said that the day might as well be called "Black The Tates Lose Again. The Tates Lose Again. Youngstown, O. — The "Steelmen" took the first game of the series from the Tate Stars of Cleveland, here Sunday; score 10 to 5. Branahan, who started for the visitors, was driven from the mound in the first inning, and was regained five rickets. Mature was hit hard for the remainder of the game. High, Youngstown pitcher, while hit hard, pitched consistent ball, whiffing nine of the opposing batters. Johnson hit hard and fielded brilliantly for the Clevelanders.

Tate, president of The Tate Stars baseball club, was in Chicago, last week Wednesday and Thursday, for an important conference with Rube Foster, president of our National Baseball league. Long standing differences between the two were adjusted and it is likely announcement will be made, this week, that the Tates, now playing independent ball, have rejoined the league, taking the place of the weaker team in the organization. Plans are being made to strengthen the local team and improve the seating accommodations at the park.

Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertise 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."

Last week, Wednesday evening, still another murder was committed in E. 32rd 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 quarreling, one accusing the other of saying that she was "trying to take her man" from her, referring to him as a dope-flend, 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 'Phone: Bell, Randolph 6978 Sundays by Appointment If your hair is beautiful you will be beautiful.

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 the police "proper" and sufficient police protection." Such occurrences are common, daily and night, 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 that the police officer's life is safe, day or night, who is compelled to use the public thoroughfare 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.

Need More Doctors and Dentists The Increase in the Number of Preachers Too Great More Trained Nurses a Necessity, Too—The Excessive Death Rate—Unsatisfactory Distribution of Our Physicians and Surgeons 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.) Washington, D. C., June 20-24 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 and surgeon and osteopath 2820 persons, as compared with 696 for the white clergy. 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-American医师. Whether we are going to 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 physicians, the 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 (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 would be the ruin of other crimes 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 ever is 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 be the ruin of other 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 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 represensible and every man Negro will respect and every woman Negro will 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 belong to it. 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. At the Presbyterian General Assembly, in Indianapolis in May, a battle was fought that concerned all of our people in Christendom. Especially does it concern those in America. Denominations that have all races within its communion cannot reach the various racial groups successfully but through and by representatives of the groups. The Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., has never opened its gates to our christians on absolute equality with other christians. There has never been an open night for it even by our Presbyterians. As a result they are negligible in numbers compared with other churches such as the Methodist and Baptist churches, and this makes it impossible to the white evangelist to reach our people with the same success that our own evangelists can. What is true in the Presbyterian Church is true in every other de- 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 dislocation of our physicians to accustomed to working with 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 the physicians are the ones 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 and most of the laymen consider themselves of more importance than a funeral sermon, and we are all hoping that our thousands of clergymen will speedily adopt this viewpoint. Deductions made in the foregoing consus which gives the following: nomination. The Presbyterian Church is prepared to do for our people what no other religious body can do. An educated ministry is an indispensable quantity in evangelizing people. An ignorant ministry is a weight upon the neck of any person, the designing ignorant minister, presiding over the boss of his church and very often prejudices his ignorant hearers against other churches that do not put into the fore-front our men. Among the outstanding men in other great bodies, such as the Methodist Episcopal and Protestant Episcopal, we have men in the bishopric, among the sectarians and also leaders in other inter-religious churches. The Presbyterian Church is the last one to put this open door before its adherents and the world. We fought for this at Indianapolis. The representatives of the church rang true on this issue. The doors are now open and the Presbyterian Church becomes a real contender for the religious allegiance of the race. The church will be cautious in all of its moves. Fitness will be the criterion for appraisal of the trustworthy truckling sycophancy. The Presbyterian Church is now in earnest in attempting to_break the ignorant bonds that bind our people. 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 government the enforcement of the constitution as a whole. Dry fanatics that shout and bawl about beer but wink at the destruction of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are not trusted any more than we bootleggers. We believe it lies on the side of the bootlegger. If this nation desires to impress the world as to its sincerity in blotting out evil it must first blot out the open violation of its constitution by eleven states at which the other thirty-eight wink. 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 rejoices the violation of the Amendments are a part of the organic law. When this government raises no organized protest against the violation of one Amendment, it stultifies itself when it ravages the non-enforcement of an- Help "Tow Away You and or an Acq other. 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. Ohio's Anti-Lynch Leads the Country Against The Mob and Lynch-Men a Member of the Race—Also O WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME HEREDITY IS CAUSE, ASSERTS DR. CHARLES DAVENPORT Says Americans are Race of Wanderers—Love of Roaming Deeply Rooted in Men Science has now determined why girls leave home. It's the fault of the man, of course—but not in the way you think. Dr. Charles B. Davenport, director of the Carnegie Institution's Station for the Experimental study of Evolution at Cold Springs Harbor, Long Island, has tackled the great problem. Dr. Davenport knows that heredity is the cause of most of the things you do, so he started by getting the pedigree of 100 families in which there were numerous wanderers, nomads, vagabonds, vagrants and hoboes. Some of these wanderers were women, but the greater part of them were men. Then he looked around to see how much wanderlust there is among other animals. It occurred to him that many birds migrate twice a year, and that man's poor relations, the great apes, who are said to have the same basal instincts as man, hardly ever sleep twice in the same place. Being a father he was furthermore reminded that children frequently run away. When a 2 year old starts off down the road it evidently isn't because he has been reading yellow back novels or travel advertisements, "it must be an inherited instinct," said Dr. Davenport. "It must be a fundamental instinct which is common to man and the lower animals alike." If it is an instinct he says it ought to be most noticeable at the age of adolescence, because all the instincts are most highly developed at that age. So he investigated the statistics of runaways and found, as he expected, that more persons run away at the age of adolescence than at any other age. Dr. Davenport felt that he had a good case. The love of roaming, he thinks, is an inherited instinct in man, which is suppressed in most people by the necessities of civilized life, but breaks out in those who lack an "inhibiting factor" and so become hoboes or globe trotters, or hunters, or gypsies. The instinct is much less controlled in America he points out, than it is in some other countries, such as France and China, because the present Americans are all the descendants of emigrants—that is, of people in whom the instinct was not suppressed. Nomadism, as he calls the instinct, appears to be widespread. "The American is nomadic in religion, in ideas in morals, and leaves his faith and opinions with as much indifference as he leaves the house in which he lives." Now, why are more men than women found leading a vagrant life? You may think it so because women cannot so easily ride the brakebeams, or because the police make it difficult for a woman to follow out her nomadic instinct, or because women are more afraid of the dark. But Mr. Davenport doesn't agree with you. There must be a more scientific reason. The scientists are not quite agreed on what it is, and a writer who reviews the evidence in the Journal of Heredity, organ of the American Genetic Association of Washington, D. C., refuses to accept Dr. Davenport's technical explanation is that the machinery of heredity has, just by accident tied up the factor that makes doobes with the factor that makes males. The reviewer holds that the connection is diterper. "Man is the active, restless, energetic, aggressive animal," he declares; "woman is the contrary. Historically, woman's place is in the home (we use the words without any political implication), and man's role is that of the hunter and fighter." He finds evidence in the family histories published by Dr. Davenport to indicate that nomadism is comparable to a mustache, as a distinguishing trait of the male sex. Both nomadism and a mustache are expressions of "maleness." "But," he continues, "even women have some hair on the face, and some women have a great deal." So it is, he decides, with a tendency to "hit the trail." Some women get a little of this character, others more; but it is really a male character. "If there is anyone who has not answered to his own satisfaction the question 'Why girls leave home,' the reviewer concludes, 'we can at least give him a clew. It is because they inherit some of the qualities properly belonging to their more unstable, restless and nomadic brothers."

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 the 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 6256. 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 unjustified killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of such injury, and the children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum may be distributed to the children of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162. 6). Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempt within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall be subject to the 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 malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7) Section 6284. An order to the commission which such recovery is hard, 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. (98 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (98 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, or the safekeeping, of which the commission 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 dispurse such mob. (98 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (98 v. 163 12.) law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly in 1894: The County of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper of manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, bar-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 sacraments, the enjoyment of a cult or privileges thereof, shall be fined 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 therewith or to the jury 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. 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. BEACH THE GIZZEL CEEVER, O. My Dear Beacon, Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal citizen, venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H.

The Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. RACE PREJUDICE!
