THE SHRINERS' RECENT MEET. Indianapolis, Ind.-El Hasa temple, No. 28, A. E. A. O. N. of M. S. of Cleveland was well represented at the recent 'Shriners' convention held here. Aug. 6-10, which was a grand success. There were 74 temples in attendance, covering the territory from Boston to California, Ontario, Can., to Florida, and numbering several thousand. Wonderful drills characterized the meet and prizes were won by Chicago patrol, (1st), $500; Columbus, (2nd), $300; Louisville, (3rd), a very large and fine American flag. All officers were re-elected except Samuel W. Franklin, Deputy Imperial Potentate, who resigned on account of illness. The next conclave will be held in Pittsburgh, the third Tuesday in August, 1924. No city has shown greater hospitality than Indianapolis did, this year. WATCHING KLUXER CANDIDATES For the School Board—Presiding Elder W. B. Lee—The Fulton School Fight on Again—Our People. "On Guard." Springfield, O. — In our class week letter to The Gazette mention was made of the suspicious circumstances connected with the "Union Camp Meeting" at the local Fair Grounds, which seemed to show a friendly disposition on the part of some of our preachers toward the Ku Klux Klan. It was stated, what is common knowledge here, that Candidates Rhodes and Biser are Klan candidates for City Commissioners. As confirming that suspicion, it has been learned that Rev. W. B. Lee, P. E., of this A. M. E. Church district, has been passing cards soliciting votes for these two candidates. There is not much chance that any one will be deceived by this "wolf in a lamb's clothing" device. In one case, it is known that the Rev. was told that they would "wait and see what the C. R. P. League said about it" before they decided what they would do. As the time for the reopening of the schools approaches, there are indications that white teachers will be assigned to the Fulton School. Since it is known that the promotion cards did not reassign the white children of the Fulton School district to that school, scrip watch will be kept to see if the officers of the Court can陪 down in the Injunction, granted last winter against the Board of Education, enjoining it from continuing the Fulton School as a separate school and ordering all pupils residing in that district to attend that school. Last Saturday was registration day preceding the Primary election on Tuesday next. From the returns, there are indications that the voting, Tuesday will be particularly heavy for a Primary election. Among the wards showing increases is the 7th where most of our people live, showing that throughout the city they are alive to the situation and intend to use their ballots in what is generally accepted as a contest to see whether or not local Kluxers shall control the affairs of this city. Our people here have determined to be hoodwinked no more. When a candidate "throws his hat in the ring" for office our voters are called in conference by the C. R. P. League to consider them. Something never done before! With the fight for city commissioners ended, the attention is now being directed to the candidates for the school board, "Eternal vigilance is the price of victory." Our people here know that if they "go to sleep on the job" they will take up some morale and find these jobs to take their necks in "jim-crowism," particularly in the schools. Members of the race, stand at attention! and let us never break ranks until we have crucified old "crow" upon the cross of oblivion. Members of the C. R. P. League and the rest of our loyal people of this community march in one solid phalanx keeping step to the music of "A Charge to Keep I Have." The product race on God's "green earth," to glorify. TWO RACE CANDIDATES For the City Council—Great Mass Meeting with the Editor of The Gazette as the Speaker of the Evening; E. Youngstown, O.—Monday, the day before the local primaries, was practically a holiday for most of the people in this vicinity. Our local masons held a large picnic at Campbell park, Struthers, at which the editor of The Gazette was the speaker. In the evening, in this little city, he was the principal speaker at a great mass meeting which was attended by members of both groups, the other group furnishing about ninety per cent of the attendance. There are about 1700 voters here, of which less than a dozen are Democrats and about 700, members of the race. So the outcome of contests at the primaries virtually elects the successful candidates. The meeting, Monday evening, was in the interest of Mr. Roy Gordon and his faction of local Republicans which included City Auditor, Julius and his brother, City Solicitor Julius, our candidate for the council in the first ward, H. L. Parrish, and others. Our other candidate, J. R. Gray, is a member of the other faction, headed by Mayor Cunningham who is a candidate for re-election after eight years' service in that position. Mr. Smith urged our people, as far as possible, to vote for both of their candidates regardless of their affiliation with the two factions, and throut his very interesting talk studiously avoided all other reference to local politics, for obvious reasons. The large audience was most enthusiastic and generous in its applause throughout his speech. Mr. Gray was a candidate for nomination for councillman at large. Mr. Gordon won the nomination. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Delay Denounced by New York County American Legion Urges Proper Care of Disabled Comrades Our Posts Should Do Likewise. AN EDITORIAL FOR WOMEN By MRS. NETTIE RICKS DEMBY Wife of Bishop E. Thos. Demby of Arkansas. New York City—Upon receipt of the report, that Director General Frank T. Hines of the Veterans' Bureau had "compromised" with a committee of whites from Alabama, offering to appoint a white doctor as head of Tuskegee hospital for our Veterans, and two white assistants, the remainder of the staff to be Afro-Americans, the N. A. A. C. P. at once wrote the following sharp letter of protest: New York City. Aug. 7, '23. "Hon Frank T. Hines. Veterans' Bureau. "My Dear General Hines:—In today's New York Tribune appears a dispatch from Montgomery, Ala., dated August 6 and purporting to be an account of a meeting held by citizens of Tuskegee. At this meeting, after hearing the report of State Senator R. H. Powell, Dr. L. W. Johnson, and W. W. Klimball, members of the committee which conferred with you in Washington, last Friday and Saturday, it is stated that citizens of Tuskegee 'accepted a compromise plan, for the personnel of the government of the Afro-American U. S. hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., suggested to this committee by the head of the Veterans' Bureau. The report goes on to state that by the compromise, the chief physician and two others of the hospital staff will be white and the remainder of the medical staff is to be composed of Afro-Americans. "On behalf of the N. A. A. C. P. I am writing to ascertain if this report is correct. We are especially anxious to secure this information, in view of the fact that the late President Harding stated, through his secretary, in a letter to this Association dated, April 25: 'It is the plan of the Director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the ap- Are we retrograding in home, religious and social life or are we going forward? What are we trying to do for humanity? Are we as interested in our boys and girls as much as our parents were interested in us? Are we embracing them with protecting arms, and helping them to shape their careers as men and women? Such questions are suggestive. They should awaken in many of us the desire to put on the yoke of service and measure up. A personal inventory of our records and careful consideration of the qualities and training of our children, would perhaps help us find a way to improve ourselves and our youthful treasures. Can we measure up? Women are coming into their own rights now. They may speak and do more freely than ever before. They are citizens and as such are expected to have the rights and perform all the duties of citizenship. Are we going to make conditions better or worse through our use of the privileges granted us? Our new freedom should make us more watchful and careful than ever. It opens the way for exercising our talents and attainments, and strengthens our arms for doing good. We should consecrate our talent, strength and influence to the service of those most needing it. The past is ancient. The future is one of bright and hopeful prophecy. The Annual Sessions of Ohio District Grand Lodge and Ohio District Grand Household of Ruth Exceptionally Successful. Youngstown, O. — The District Grand Lodges, G. U. O. of O.

"We would like to know what is to be the action of the Veterans' Bureau in view of the definite promise made by Mr. Harding that we may inform those interested in this question whether or not the promise of the late President Harding is to be carried out." New York City.—The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the New York County American Legion, last week, and sent to President Calvin Coolidge and Director Frank T. Hines, U. S. Veterans' Bureau, Washington, D. C. Every Afro-American post ought also to take up this matter, at once, and do likewise, and get their Legion to do so, too, if possible. The resolution reads as follows: "WHEREAS the Congress of the United States has established in Tuskegee, Ala., a hospital for Afro-American ex-service men to be manned by an Afro-American personnel, and WHEREAS the Veterans' Bureau has delayed putting into force and effect the mandate of Congress which sought to adequately hospitalize the Afro-American veterans of the South." "BE IT RESOLVED that the New York County organization of The American Legion deplores the Veterans' Bureau policy of brooking delay in properly caring for their Afro-American comrades in Tuskegee, and urges the Veterans' Bureau to feaulessly and immediately, regardless of obstacles, carry out the will of the Government. "AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the President of the United States. General Frank T. Hines and to the public press." FOR WOMEN E RICKS DEMBY os.

Go to Gary, Ind. The Hon. C. Bascomb Slemp, for years the only Republican member of Congress from Virginia, has been appointed his secretary by President Calvin冷idge' to succeed Mr. Geo. Christian, the late President Warren G. Harding's secretary. Mr. Slemp and Ex-President Wm. H. Taft, chief justice of the U. S. Supreme court, are generally credited with having been the leaders in the effort to have President Harding recognize the "illy-white Republicans" and Democrats of the South in preference to our people. Lord, have mercy! "CENTRAL AVENUE, A PUBLIC DISGRACE" After a tour of the city, the first of the week, Mayor Fred Kohler, said, among other things, that "Central Avenue is a public disgrace." Quite right, Mr. Mayor, but the numerous murders and crimes in the Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district, every Saturday and Sunday night particularly, are far greater public disgraces and vastly more harmful to this city and that district. Conditions were made a little better, several weeks ago, but only for a few days. Better police protection is the crying need! Corner watches should be established immediately at E. 30th St., E. 40th St. and Central Ave., and Scovill Ave. for the hours between 11 P. M. and 2:30 A. M., every Saturday and Sunday night, particularly. During these hours of every night the lack of police protection, which includes the lack of the corner watches mentioned, is indirectly the cause of numerous murders and other crimes in the Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district. There have been no less than a dozen murders committed in that district since the first of June 1923, several of them the result of most distressing cutting affrays in which both men and women were the aggressors. Come, Mr. Mayor, give the police protection so sorely needed in that section of the city. A WOMAN STABBED HIM RE PEATEDLY. Another woman was shot to death and a man seriously cut with a razor by a man who invaded the woman's home on Scovill Ave. near E. 37th St., last week Wednesday night. A suspect was captured by police after he had fled from the scene. Miss Wiloby Love, age 28, who lived in the rear of 3637 Scovill Ave., died instantly, killed when the man shot her without warning. Jess Horne, age 26, who lives nearby, first encountered the man as he came in the house. After slashing Horne, the man mounted a stairway and shot the woman. Horne was taken to Charity hospital. The Saturday night previous, between 11 p. m. and 2:30 a. m. Sunday morning, there were about a dozen crimes of one kind and another committed in the Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district, possibly the worst being that in Central Ave, between E. 30th and E. 31st Sts. There a woman accompanied by her "man," ran across the street threw one arm about another man's neck and proceeded to stab him in the head, cutting gash after gash, until he was able to break away and run when the "man" lunged at him with a knife or razor cutting him his coat, etc., to the skin only. Her "man" was arrested but the woman got away. This was just at midnight, as usual. As a matter of fact, the large majority of such crimes, and murders, committed in that district are "pulled off" about midnight when all know that the police are at supper. Saturday and Sunday nights, about the time mentioned, there are nearly always from one to four murders and other crimes committed in the Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district. Some way should be found at once to afford decidedly better police protection in that district between the hours of 11 p. m. and 2:30 a. m., every night but particularly Saturday and Sunday nights. WINDING UP OUR FORTIETH YEAR. With this issue, "The Old Reliable" Gazette completes its fortieth year of continuous publication, every week on time, and too, with the same editor and manager at the helm. How the time has slipped by! It seems to have been but fifteen or twenty years at most, so busy has the task kept us all the past forty years. The Lord has indeed been more than kind to us in many ways, chief of which is he has blessed us with continuous good health throughout the long period of time. Less than a week (in 1897) has sickness kept us from the office, but not from the work. The Gazette was issued, as usual, on time. This record we are almost as proud of as we are of "The Old Reliable"'s many accomplishments in behalf of this people of ours, particularly in our home-city and state. One of the first questions asked us by our recently deceased President, Warren G. Harding, when we met in the White House on May 29, this year. "How's the Gazette On May 29," And it was followed by: "How long have you been publishing it, now?" When told, he said: "Well, in two weeks I will have been in the business thirty-nine years." A few years later, he sold his controlling interest in the Marion (O.) Star, retaining in it only a nominal interest, a small amount of stock. It was only a few years after the birth of The Gazette that we purchased the quarter interests of Messrs. John Holmes, John Lightfoot and Oliver T. Jackson (present messenger to the Governor of Colorado), and we have "been in the saddle" alone, ever since. Messrs. Holmes and Lightfoot died, many years ago, Likewise, James H. Jackson, one of the four original owners of The Gazette whose quarter interest was purchased by his brother, Oliver, a few years after the birth of the paper, and sold to the writer. Ever since, we have owned and controlled "The Old Reliable" and of course are very proud of our forty-year-old "baby," not only because of its long life but particularly because of the assistance in many ways it has been able to render our people of Cleveland, Ohio and the country. Of course, this would have been impossible without the loyal support of its thousands of readers, some of whom have been subscribers ever since its first issue, Aug. 25, 1883. THE TUSKEGEE MESS.

He will appear over there in "The Emperor Jones" as a part of Charles Cochran's program of plays from the pen of Eugene O'Neill. Gilpin has been appearing in repertoire with a group of theatrical Grand Theater in Chicago this summer. The fifth annual meeting of our National Musical Union, held recently in Chicago, re-elected its officers: Clarence Cameron White of Boston, pres; J.

The $10,000 breach of promise made by Jesse Horton against Major J. Blinkwell, healthy Afro-American of Wichita, Kan., was settled out of court. He is said to have paid Miss Horton $1000 and attorney's fees amounting to $200. Wm. Edwards, age 100, of Shreveport, La., recently married a forty-year-old woman. It was his third wife to the woman. They were them young while they can work, as when they become old the rheumatism "hits" them. A $102,000 K. P. Shortage. Rome, Ga.—$102,000 was the reported shortage of K. P. officials at the meeting of the Georgia grand lodge here, recently. Expert accountants announced that $15,000 in bonds had been stolen, salaries raised to an unreasonable degree, records destroyed, checks cancelled, vouchers burned and false death claims paid in order to cover up the shortage. The Swantucket reported the paid Supreme Enclave Greene without authority. In the election that followed, a general house-cleaning resulted in all of the old officers being ousted and a new set installed. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and gullotones decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right /the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. IS IT OF ANY USE TO 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, the build that 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 exist. The堤口 is to deserve contempt. - Bostock (Mags.) Guardian. last Saturday's game from the Tate Stars, McClure pitching for the latter, by the score of 5 to 2.

BURFORD Being Finished at the Theater—The Cash Prizes to Be Awarded, Monday Night—Do Not Miss Seeing Our New Moving Picture. The Gazette-Globe Theater contest for making a moving picture on the stage of the Globe Theater, is now in full blast. The prize winners were selected, last week, and immediately, on Monday evening, they started "shooting" the picture on the stage of the Globe Theater. Up to the time of going to press, we can truthfully say that this has been very interesting to the patrons of the theatre. Thousands of the audience have seen how pictures are actually made. Mr. Bradley, the director, has been working very patiently with the persons selected for the leading parts and he assures us that they are as good a lot of talent as he has yet encountered in any prize-winning affair he has been connected with, and all are members of the race, too. Mr. Bradley also guarantees that the picture will be finished on Sunday night and that he is having a hard time working with the director to develop what he has taken the night before, so that on Monday, August 20, there will be no delay in showing the finished picture on the screen of the Globe Theatre. During this week, many outdoor scenes have been made, announcement as to when and where decision made many years ago, took the position that legislation against mobviolence is a state right, pure and simple, and that the congress can not enact a constitutional antl Lynch-murder law or mob-vioce act. Congressman Dyer was introduced by Reu H. C. Haley and was awarded the Nobel Prize for audience throut his speech. He has made a number of speeches of a like nature in the central and western part of the country in recent weeks. The management of color-line Luna park was greatly disappointed by the attendance, Aug. 6. It was far below that expected. About three thousand of our people, all told, some of whom were from out of the city and, like many others who live in the city, did not know why they should NOT go to the miserable place, were invigiled into doing something they should not have done and doubtless would not have done if they had known of the insulting discrimination against people who lived daily at Luna park. It is said the park management lost money. Although advertised as the speaker of the day, Mayor Fred Kohler, too, very discreetly remained away, which was the proper thing to do. It was not until early in the evening that the unfortunates in attendance at the park were permitted the use of the rollerskating rink and dance hall. Of course they were not allowed in the swimming pool at all, as usual. The Lord helped a little with a shower, early in the evening, and he hoped the park would eventuate into a down- and drive all from color-line Luna Park. The circulars distributed several days, preceding Monday, by the "Surface Cattering Association" helped wonderfully to correctly inform our people and undoubtedly kept hundreds and possibly thousands of them from going to the place. They should have been distributed throughout the city and in surrounding towns for the past month or more, and much more numerously and generally. Had this been done, as it should have been, not only by that association but also by Ward 11 Central Body, the Caterers' Association. The Cleveland City Association, the N.A.A. A.P. local branch of the N.A.A. A.P. our local Women's Federation of Afro-Americans, we verily believe that there would not have been much more than a "corporal's guard" who would have been so lacking in self and race respect as to have gone to color-line Luna park. Monday Aug. 6, or any other day. Some months ago, Atfy. Wm. R. Green, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., was not permitted to try on a hat in the Wm. Taylor, Son & Co. store in Euclid Ave., this city. This, because of his race or color, or both. "Wm. Conners and Green got their heads together, some weeks later, and called a meeting in his "Negro" league headquarters, E.·40th St. Committees were appointed to investigate the matter and said that could be done, and several contacts with the manager of the Taylor store, so he said. That apparently he ended the matter as far as and Green are concerned. Our people can and must do something to resent that insult and denial of citizen-rights in a public place of business, even though Conners and Green preach to the contrary. They can pass the word along thoroly among our people, not only to stay out of that store but to make an organized effort to get their white Randolph 5825 Cleveland, O. Have Hair Like This these scenes were to be "shot" were made the night, previous, by Mr. Bradley. Again we advise our readers that if you have never seen the way movies are made, take an evening, or Sunday afternoon off, and go there, to the Globe Theater. In addition to making the picture, the Globe is showing their regular vaudeville which we week consists of Julie McGarr's Maggie Steppers, one of the best shows presented at this theatre, this season. The admission prices will be the same as heretofore: Balcony 25c, Orchestra 30c and children under ten years, 10c. The $150 in prizes will be given to the winners on Monday night, Aug. 20. It is hardly necessary to say that if you have seen the Globe alone, see this picture being made, that you be there some night during the next week, commencing Monday, August 20, to see the completed picture on the screen. The winners in the new Gazette Globe Theater contest were: Sam McAllister, leading man; Miss Ora Reed, leading lady; Squire Smith, character man, and Catherine Handy, leading child character. The pictures of the first three were made at Smith's studio. friends, as far as possible, to also discontinue their patronage of the Wm. Taylor, Son & Co. store. This will prove a most effective weapon, if resorted by our people in an organized way, and the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, the local Women's Federation, the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and all of our various other organizations in this city, ought to take up this suggestion and act on it because a failure to do so means that other organizations will follow the lead of the Taylor Co. (if indeed they have not already done so) and it will not be long before most of the large stores in Cleveland will be drawing a similar color-line. .The Gazette in common with many of our people of this community would like to know what became of the efforts to have an official investigation into the inexcusable killing, some weeks ago, by a police-officer, of Mrs. Rosalie Wilson, a member of St. Paul's Baptist church, Rev. E. J. Pillow, pastor. Meetings were also held in Zion Hill Baptist church, Rev. C. C. Aler, pastor, by Atty. W. H. Randolph and others. Funds were raised at these meetings to assist in getting official investigations from the City Council and the grand jury. The latter is in CHARACTER. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR. RACE PREJUDICE!

HARDING The sudden death of President Warren G. Gamaliel Harding, last week Thursday evening, at San Francisco, Cal. where he had been very ill for several days, was not only a shock to the entire country but a positive loss to our people. It is true that since he has been Chief Executive of the nation his apparent favoring of the South, and its very natural consequent effect, as far as our people were concerned, was general disappointment that was only beginning to be lifted at the time of his death. sult was that when he a conference with his 1821, he (the writer of the war) unburied him. he was dumfounded President Harding the ful consideration he his mind that he point a member of the treasury, Haiti, or to any South, this last beca be killed" and that he (don't) for the death of any two years ago Our acquaintance with Mr. Harding began twenty-three years ago when he was a member of the Ohio State Senate, and U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio and the writer were members of the Ohio House of Representatives. It ripened into friendship at that time because of several exhibitions of real personal interest in the progress of our people, Senator Harding gave at the request of the writer. During the interval between 1900 and the fall of 1907 when he was elected leutenant-governor of Ohio, and the present U. S. Ambassador to Paris, Myron T. Herrick, was elected Governor by the largest pluralities ever given candidates for these offices (in this state) during the general between 1904 and 1920, being elected U. S. Senator during this period of time, both in speech and action at divers times, Mr. Harding showed continued interest in and friendship for our people. Then came his candidacy for Ohio's indorsement for the Republican nomination for the presidency, the writer very naturally becoming one of his active supporters in that contest, early in the year. Next came the canvass for the nomination and the convention at Chicago later on in the year. All know the result, of course, and will remember the vicious stories circulated against Candidate Harding by southern Democrats during the campaign. About twelve days before the election, whife in conference with ex-State Senator, ex-Lieutenant Governor and U. S. Senator Harding at his headquarters (the Geo L. Christian home) in Marion and after discussing the probable effect of the attacks justice referred to Mr. Harding slowly raised his right hand, and after a moment's pause, turned to me. I was sitting on the opposite side of a small table) and said: "Harry, if I am elected President next Tuesday week, I am going to hit that thing and hit it hard" bringing his list down on the little table with considerable force. He was meaningless and contemptible exemplified in the circulation of the vicious stories already referred to. Immediate upon his election "lily-white" Republicans of the South and southern Democrats and their northern allies began the effort which they have been successful with in the case of every Presidential candidate (including our late and greatly lamented Chief Executive). The re- HARDING WAS OUR FRIEND At noon June 13, in 1921, when the writer was ushered into his presence at the White House, after the usual formal greeting, the very first thing President Warren G. Harding said to him was: "Harry, (slowly raising his right hand the fingers of which were extended and apart) I spent the most distressing hour and a half, last night, I ever experienced in all my life." He then proceeded to discuss the attitude of the South toward our people, saying what we have given, in part only, in our article on page 1 of this paper. "Last night," was SUNDAY NIGHT, for June 13. '21, was Monday. So the illy-lys and other prejudiced southerners and their northern allies had invaded the White House for an hour and a half on a SUNDAY NIGHT to wear their endings, on the almost demeaned Negro, particularly those the South for government JOHS in that section, and elsewhere at home and even abroad, in Haiti. sult was that when the writer had a conference with him on June 13, 1921, he (the writer) was never more surprised in his life, indeed he was dumfounded when told by President Harding that after careful consideration he had made up his mind that he could not appoint a member of the race register of the treasury, minister to Haiti, or to any position in the South, this last because "he would have been able that he be deputed" "would be responsible for the death of any man." That was two years ago on the 13th of June as I have already said. Before the adjournment of the last congress President Harding appointed Walter H. Cohen, controller of customs at New Orleans, La., and after the adjournment of the congress which refused to confirm that appointment, he re-appointed Mr. Cohen, the very thing that two years before he had told the writer he "would not and could not do" for the reasons stated. Then came his promise to make the personnel of the U. S. Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee; Ala. all colored. On May 29, 1923 while the writer was in conference with the President on matters of vital race interest he called his attention to the statements of two years before relative to the appointment of colored men to offices in the South and also called his attention to the fact that his two appointments of Cohen were prime evidence of a breach of the contract in the attitude he had assumed two years before; thanked him for his praise-worthy stand on the Tuskegee hospital appointments and for the appointment of the Hon. Chas. W. Anderson as U. S. Internal Revenue Collector for the third district of New York. The writer also discussed at length with the President what he termed in their conversation as his "most t unfortunate Birmingham speech" as well as a number of other matters of vital racial importance. In spite of the fact, that Gen. Pershing with a delegation of twenty army and navy officers were waiting to see Mr. Harding full fifteen minutes before the writer's appointment time (12:30 o'clock) armed with Executive authority in limit the conference-time to the usual fifteen minutes but kindly and considerably listened to him for more than a half hour and then did not hasten a termination of the conference-time in order to favor the large Pershing delegation which was without, awaiting audience. His treatment of the writer was most cordial, considerate and kind throughout and I left, with the firm conviction that he had returned to normalcy as far as our people were concerned, and I am positive that had I been one year longer the kindly feeling long after that was general when he was elected would have been restored and greatly increased. We have lost a friend at the white house who, had he lived, would have proven all the better for us as the result of having been tried out in the fire of southern prejudice and hatred. H. C. S. Santo Domingo, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines. They had kept up this pressure for many months while the "big Negroes" in Washington, D. C., and elsewhere were sitting still on their stools of do-noting, or were "plugging" for some job for themselves or for some one else, or were preparing to call another man to vantage or meeting of any old kid. The writer knew Warren G. Harding, possibly better than any other member of the race in this country, and knows that when he left Ohio to take up the duties of President of the United States he was our friend, REAL friend! We also know, as do all others now, that he was temporarily wom from us. What is better, we know that he was well on his return, when he died, recently, and that at heart he never changed in his friendship for the race. He was misled, temporarily misled. We frankly told him so on the 29th of May, this week, that did he accept the bold statement in the kindest way because he had, knowledgeled it, at least to the writer, when he made the two THE GAETTEY, CLEVELAND, D. SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1923 Cohen appointments. Read our article on page 1 for additional light on this last statement AMONG WORLD'S WARREN G. HARDING. No man ever had the confidence and support of our race as did Warren G. Harding. In his rise to the Presidency of the Republic of Newman ever gave promise of fulfilling the expectations of these citizens as did Warren G. Harding. Our unbiased judgment is, he intended to be just and fair toward all Americans. Mr. Harding was met with the strongest possible influence to drive him away from the oath to be just to the race that he took and statements made in his inaugural address. Sinister influence that was dominated by southern prejudice entered the Republican party and it told Warren Harding that he must accept the situations of the South toward our people. To convince him that this influence was right, it kept Warren G. Harding continually in the south where the south designedly made prominent the most delinquent of the race in order that the alleged necessity of adopting the south's attitude, if "civilization" was to continue in the south. Then, too, reactionary the Republican influence, which had wrecked the party, again asserted itself and practically forced the President to treat our people Woodrow Wilson and people of the Christian. Warren Harding a kindly heart and a Christian spirit. He met in the Presidency the sordidness of greed, prejudice and race-hatred. Let the race be honest and just toward Warren G. Harding. Insidious Republican influences, yielding to rampant and violent southern traditions, overpowered a well-meaning man drove an entire race away from a man that it once idolized. After the sad end, let Negroes everywhere mourn with true American men of the Christian. While he rests in his grave, Warren G. Harding will have the best wishes and prayers of the most forgiving of American citizens. Let us, however, fight with unabated zeal those iniquitous characters within the Republican party who have wronged us and the President who sleeps in Marion. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. Attention Mamie E.

There is a great deal of confusion in the public mind regarding the tonnage or displacement of ships, and with good reason, for there are four distinct methods of calculating tonnage. In the case of warships, the term displacement is almost always used. The displacement tonnage is the space occupied by the vessel in the water. The amount of water displaced by the ship is equal in weight to the ship and all it contains. As one ton is equal to thirty-five cubic feet of water, the displacement tonnage is found by dividing the number of cubic feet of water displaced by thirty-five when the ship is immersed up to its load line. Gross tonnage is a term commonly applied to merchantmen. In calculating it, the whole interior capacity of the ship below the tonnage deck is found, including that of all covered in spaces on deck used for stowage and the result in cubic feet is divided by 100. Net register tonnage is the gross tonnage minus all the spaces used for the accommodations of the crew and instruments and the working parts of the ship. The deadweight tonnage is the measure of the exact amount of cargo a ship can carry with safety. SETS NEW U. S. AIR RECORD Army Aviator Remains Aloft 9 Hours and 48 Minutes. Lieut. Walter R. Tallferro, junior military aviator attached to the signal corps aviation school at the military aerodome on North Island, Cal. is receiving congratulations on his achievement in smashing the American sustained flight record for pilot alone, when he remained in the air 9 hours and 48 minutes. The previous record, 8 hours and 53 minutes, was aero squadron, last January. Capt. Arthur Cowan, head of the North Island school and representative of the Aero Club of America, declared the record official. Lieut. Tallferro used a military tractor equipped with ninety horsepower motor. It is estimated he covered more than 500 miles during the flight. The world's record for sustained flight is held by Reinhold Bochm, a German aviator, who flew 24 hours and twelve minutes.

AMONG WORLD'S OLDEST NATIONS Changes In Other Lands—Countries of Europe Entirely Made Over In That Period. The United States of America is one of the oldest nations on earth the Philadelphia Ledger states. With the exception of England and Russia it is, existing nation older than any country in Europe. And alone in the western world it has stood for the last 125 years with an unchanged government. Its boundaries have expanded and its constitution has been amended and it has gone through civil war; but the United States is "ruled" today as it was ruled in Russia, and it is the only western nation that is. The constitution of the United States of America was adopted in the year the French revolution began. Since 1789 Europe has been remade. Among the nations four stand out as "ancient"—England, Russia, Denmark and Spain. Yet in the last century and a quarter these countries have lived thy governmental changes that show beside the stability of the United States rule as exceedingly significant shifts. The changes that have taken place in the English regime are the most interesting because they are the least known to the world at large. It is inevitable with us all that the mention of an "ancient nation," a "stable government," the oldest country on earth should bring the thought of England to our minds. But the government of England, as we know it today, dates its beginning from the year 1832. That is the date of the passage of the first reform bill. These bills—the first in 1832, the second in 1867 and the last in 1884—shifted the government of England from lords to commons, from nobles and men of great property to the people themselves, changed the limitation of England's monarchy from a feudal to a popular right. Without revolution, the government of the country was effectively revolutionized. The striking evolution which began in 1832 with the granting of the ballot to the merchants and men of small property in the realm, moved on to its final step in the Parliament bill of 1912, which took away all but suspensive veto power from the house of lords and left the Commons rulers of England. France began its revolution, as all the world knows, in 1789. Since then it has had two empires, three kinds of kingdoms and three republics; it has executed one kind and disposed two others, and it has forced each of its two emperors to abdicate. Since the final formation of the third French republic its cabinet has been changed very nearly on an average of once a year. Out of the Franco Prussian War grew, as everyone knows, the present German empire. In 1789 there still existed in central Europe that "Holy Roman Empire" which was, as Mr. Bryce has pointed out neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire." it consisted at that time of, between 350 and 400 separate and practically independent states. GROWING SUNFLOWERS Arkansas Farmers Get Six to Ten Cents Per Pound—Always Ready Market. Farmers of Mississippi county. Ark. are watching the new industry of growing sunflowers, with great interest. There are already more than one hundred acres of these flowers being cultivated, in Mississippi county alone. The owner of the largest farm of this kind is J. C. Wilson, and it costs him something like ten dollars an acre to grow the flowers. He sells the seed at from 6 to 10 cents per pound. He clears from fifty sixty dollars per acre. He plants the seed very much like corn is planted and two plowings are usually sufficient to insure a good crop. He sells most of the seed to breakfast food manufacturers, but says that he does not know if it is used in that popular article of food. However, it is said that most of the crop is used for poultry food. Wilson says that there is always a ready market for the seed. He finds that if mixed with grain it is good for fattening hogs and cattle, but says it is too rich to be fed alone. A rural mail box with a loose button that closes a circuit and rings an electric bell at a distance when a postal card or letter is dropped into the box has been patented by a California inventor. To enable automobiles to pull themselves up hills or out of soft spots in roads, a South Dakota inventor has patented a windlass which may be attached to the rear hub of the car and operated by a motor. Making use of a wireless receiver, an apparatus has been invented which records every flash of lightning in a storm, with the time that it occurs. WIRELESS STARTS AUTOMOBILE Motor Set Going by Spark From Plant Five Miles Away A number of inventors have succeeded in developing apparatus whereby boats are guided by wireless telegraph, but the experiment was tried for the first time the other day with an automobile, at the Indiana State Fair, and it worked. The motor of an Overland car was started every five minutes by a wireless spark from the Overland headquarters in Indianapolis, five miles away. A complete wireless outfit consisting of motor generator, transformers, relays and other paraphernalia was installed in the show windows of the city sales rooms. This was connected with an aerial on the roof of the building and by stepping the alternating current up from 119 volts to 16,000 volts the apparatus made it possible to send messages 200 miles. The car on exhibition at the fair grounds was fitted up with a receiving apparatus and the necessary automatic switches and relays for throwing on and off the electric current of the starter and magneto. An automatic switch was regulated so as to allow the car to run for forty-five seconds, after which the magneto was cut off. The operation of starting the car was repeated at five minute intervals. One of the most interesting features of the experiment was the fact that the entire operation of starting the car was accomplished without the aid of a human hand. A time switch, installed in connection with the wireless outfit in the city, controlled the entire operation. NEW JAP ROOM IS FAD Rest Apartment Set Apart for Guesta Who Are Tired. The latest fad of the fashionable hostess is a Japanese guest room in the country house. The tired guest just arriving from a warm and uncomfortable journey, is ushered into a dim, breezy cool room with floor covered in Japanese straw blinds at the windows, draperies of Japanese cotton toweling in blue bamboo and white printing or pale green, printed with white' crysanthumus. The furniture is natural or green wicker, a Japanese screen showing the remote, ice cool peak of Fuji as a background for gray storks and floating illies is drawn across the corner on a low stand is a big imitation Hawthorn jar in the wonderful Imari blue color and filled with pine branches or ferns. To most folk the idea of a Japanese room brings a mental picture of red and yellow paper lanters, an open Japanese umbrella swinging from the chandelier and bunches of artificial cherry blossoms stuck in vases. All these colorful decorations are omitted from the Japanese guest chamber, which is in cool quiet shades of green and blue. NETS AND SUBMARINES How Easily it is to Tangle Up Under Sea Craft Anybody who has ever seen the trouble that can be made for a steamship when a rope, even though not very long or very large, gets tangled in its propeller will wonder what happened to the German submarine that ran foul of a fishnet off Dover. No craft probably owns a margin of safety quite so small as does the submarine, and hardly anything can happen to it that does not produce consequences serious or fatal. Now, the nets used in deep sea fishing are large, strong and heavy, but they do not cost much, as war expenditures go, and the little incident described all too briefly in the war news seemingly suggests a convenient and effective means of reducing these much dreaded little assassins to helplessness. With a net once around her organ of propulsion a submarine would either remain permanently under water, which would be bad for her crew, or she would have to rise to the surface and remain there for a considerable time, within sight of the hostile marksman, and that, too, would be attended with most positive inconveniences—Tit Bits. ORIGIN OF CLEAN SHAVE Early Greek Warriors Found Whiskers Handicap in Battle. Early records state that the practice of shaving originated in the fact that the beard afforded too good a hold for an enemy in battle. This is the cause assigned for the origin of shaving among the Greeks about the time of Alexander. In other countries the practice was first adopted by military men. Historians mention the alarm in which some Roman emperors lived because of the fear that their barbars might cut their throats. For the sake of concealing a scar on his throat, the Emperor Hadrian wore a beard. This fact brought the custom again into fashion. EXPLODES POPULAR BELIEF EXPLODES POPULAR BELIEF It is a popular belief that more boys than girls are born in time of war. According to a well known Lordson Doctor, however, there is little ground for such an idea. He declares he worked in a district where the strain of war was felt very much because it provided a large proportion of its population to British fighting forces. He found in six months of cases he attended 55 per cent of the births were girls and 45 per boys. ARE YOU SICK? Are you RUN-DOWN, WEAK, TIRED, EXHAUSTED, WORN- OUT?
