ELYRIA.—The meeting, Monday evening, in the M. E. church drew a crowd that more than packed the auditorium and Robert W. Pulley of Oberlin who promoted it was naturally very happy, as a result. Mayor Jones, who was introduced by one of our pastors, made an hour's talk that was fine. He was a candidate for re-election and is popular with our people here. Several others, one a candidate, (white) and the pastor of the church spoke before the editor of The Gazette who in the closing speech of the evening roused the large audience to great enthusiasm. Mayor Jones, his wife and daughter were given the Chautauquan salute at the request of the editor at the close of the meeting.

PREJUDICED AMERICANS.
Read a Merited "Curtain Lecture"
By the French Press—Race
Prejudice Reviewed.
Paris, France. As a result of various indirect-racial clashes, occurring between tourists from the southern portion of the United States and colored people (French citizens), which called for drastic action on the part of the French Foreign Office, general discussion of race prejudice is occupying the editorial expression in the leading French journals.
Le People:—"Such manners are inadmissible. In France. Foreigners should know that. In France the black citizens have the same rights as white persons even if the latter are rich, gay Americans."
The Petit Journal:—"We advise the pacifists from across the Atlantic to imbibe moderately and save their fists for better causes."
Fikaro:—"The attitude of the southern Yankees toward Frenchmen of color shows us how much barbarism there is hidden under the apparent civilization of the United States. Some of the Americans from the southern section imagine themselves, refined because they have skistory buildings and telephones in their bedrooms."
Honne Libre:—"There is often more distinction in a black man than in a white man, even though the fingers of the latter are covered with diamonds and his pocketbook is filled with标签."
The Journal: "Just begun Montmartre at 2 o'clock in the morning is almost entirely American in no reason why Fraternity of color should be excluded. As long as Montmartre be linked to France the race question cannot be considered at a American."
L'Education: "The black man loves our comparative and whoever obtains them abroad is. Some Philosophe of Americans don't like Negroes. This is their right of home, but not in France."
The Paris Midday: "We have in prejudice here. Fraternity cannot get that she is at the head of a colonial country, a colony by one of color, and so a colony of the faithful and devoted people of all kinds of countries. The group of all old Americans, they do not on to get the real attitude of the best American, that themselves on being in the rank of civilization, but they have never been able to look at the color problem that way. Instead, they have vowed helped without mercy against Negroes. This will not go in France."
Ferguson Sisters Reported Missing
Columbus, O. C. The local police were searching, Friday night, for Helen and Minnie Ferguson, age 17 and 20, respectively, who had been missing from their home at 317 Clarendon Ave., since they left for a dance in Memorial Hall, Wednesday night.

MRS. MARY BURNETT TALBERT
Former President of our Federation of women's Clubs—Reclaimed Frederick Doughlass' Home—A Leader Gone.
(Special to The Gazette.)
Buffalo, N. Y.—While The Gazette at Oct. 20, 23, carried a good notice of the death of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert on Oct. 15th. I know its readers will be glad to have additional first-hand and the most complete information yet published in connection with the death and burial of this remarkable woman, until her death one of our two leading women. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, D.C., being the other, Mary Burnet Talbert was born in Oberlin, Sept. 18, 1866, and graduated from Oberlin College at the age of 19 with the degree B.A. A few years later she was given the degree Ph.D., by the University of Buffalo. For several years she was assistant principal of our high school at Little Rock, Ark. On Sept. 8, 1891, she married Wm. H. Talbert of this city, one of our leading men. Mrs. Talbert was president of our National Association of Women's Clubs from 1916 to 1920. In September 1920, the Woman's International Council of Women held in Christian Norway. From Norway she made a series of Europe and was invited to attend meetings that included the world. At her death, England, Mrs. Talbert was the great Lord and Lady Middleton, who was imprisoned in touch with her death. Queen With honour her by inviting her to stay at theroy at arboe whithe country war in this country. Mrs. Talbert was helping to build the world of Liberty. From the time she entered the country into the Army she continued to serve in France. The most notable of her many years was the restoration of the Fremont Park, Douglas home at Moore, D.C. to 1922 after vacations. She had been made by Booker T. Washington and his assistants, and other prominent men of the country. Mrs. Talbert was the only one to receive the Spinein model. Her last great effort was the founding of the anti-burking club to aid in the age of 40. At her death, South Ohio Am. Law Congressman Dewitt established the Talbert last spring and closed the Mrs. Talbert her home hours during the year she provided them with the support of the public. At the time of her death, the National

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS!
INTERPRETING INTERPRETERS, OR WHAT IS IT?
Has It Been Trimming and Dodging or Has Its Members Been Flouting and Defying Its Authority-A Critical Study of"The League of Notions"
PRIME SPORT NEWS
The halcyon and vociferous announcement is made that the league of nations is to have its covenant interpreted. The league itself, through its secretariat, has selected a commission of eight eminent jurists, from eight of the nations represented in its council, who are to mull over that impeccable instrument and determine what it means. This is good news to the world, which halcyon been wondering what is the actual purpose of the covenant; all the more since several recent cases of what looked like trimming and dodging on the part of the league itself, or like flouting and defying its authority by some of its members. The manner of the achievement also commands keen interest, since it seems to be a clear case of lifting oneself by the bootstraps. The league is to interpret itself to itself. That obviously makes it certain that the interpretation will be satisfactory. It will be recalled, that at its formation the league itself was proclaimed to be the universal interpreter. It was to interpret everything that needed interpretation for everybody that wanted anything interpreted. It was to interpret international law, and all treaties. It was to interpret the Monroe, Doctrine for the United States and let us know for the first time in a hundred years just how much—or more probably, how little—that document meant. It was even to interpret the Constitution of the United States to as, far better than Hamilton, and Marshall and Story, and Webster were ever able in their narrow nationalism, to do. And yet now, early in its shining career, it finds its own constitution, the sacrosanct covenant—to modify

Godfrey Kayord Tate.
George Godfrey, haysweight of Philadelphia, knocked out Bill Tatum, Chicago, in the seventh round of a ten-round semifinal at a recent right downstair. Godfrey sent Tatum down for the count of ten with a terrible last book 12 seconds before the end of the round. Until then the pair had ended a slow, uninterrupting encounter. Godfrey weighed 225 pounds and Tate 233-3-4.

which by so much as the dotting of an "i" or crossing of a "i" would be rank sacrilege—to be in need of radical interpretation. Truly, it is a good thing to have a sense of humor. It is also to be observed that the league thus purposes to do, for itself that which it would not let others do for themselves. It revolted, for example at the mere thought of America's interpreting the Monroe Doctrine, or the Constitution of the United States; or of two nations interpreting for themselves a treaty which had been made between them. All such matters must be submitted to its supreme authority. No mere nation could be its own interpreter. Yet it is to be itself the interpreter of its own covenant. Doubtless that is because there is no other authority in the world capable of doing the job. Omniscience alone can divine omniscience. But now a fearsome speculation intrudes itself upon the nation. The interpretation of the covenant given by this octuple commission proves, to be lacking in clearness and thus to need elucidation—to be itself interpreted—what is to be done? Shall somebody else be appointed to interpret the interpretation? That would seem to be logical. If the league itself, which was to be the world's supreme interpreter, must be interpreted, what other and necessarily lesser thing can claim exemption from the same process? It is already agreed that the interpreter must be interpreted. Then, the interpreter that interpreted the interpreter must be interpreted; and so on to the nifl power of interpretation. It is a lovely prospect.—Boston Transcript.
give an opportunity to take a real part in such an affair, it is thought that our athletes and those interested in athletics in general would be glad to make small contributions to this fund. These contributions may be sent direct to Mr. Williams at Hampton Institute, Va.
Wills Kayoes Thompson.
Newark, N. J.- Harry Wills, New Orleans, heavyweight title contender, knocked out Jack Thompson of Boston. Monday night, in the fourth round of a twelve-round match at the First跺膝 armory, Thompson's seconds throw a towel into the ring as he went down heavily for the second time in the fourth round from a battering attack to the head and body.
The following was the comment of the white sport-writers of the daily papers of the country BEFORE the WILL-Thompson, host, Monday night:
"Harry Wills chain for heavyweight championship consideration still receive a thorough test here than he Jack Thompson, another colored heavyweight. The consensus is that Wills must win by a knockout or lose caste as a challenger for Dempsey's title."
Well, Harry stood the "test," as usual, and did not "lost caste," because he "technically" kayoed his man, as usual.

SATURDAY, NOV. 10, 1923
The National Conference board of N. Y. City, an organization affiliated with many large manufacturing concerns throut the country, issued a "report." Monday, in which it said:
"During 1916 and 1917, it was estimated that in a wave of hysteria approximately 400,000 Negroes left the south, as 'whole committees, en entire streets of people, and even church congregations, headed by their pastors, moved north and located as units in the important industrial centers."
No, the National Conference board report did not tell what caused that "wave of hysteria." It took good care not to do so. "Twas ever thus. Until many of the causes of that "wave of hysteria" are removed the steady migration of our people of the south, as 'whole communities, tinue. Nothing else can stop it.
ELECTION FIGURES.
According to the election figures, published in Wednesday evening's papers, Councilman Tom Fleming received only 2903 votes in the great, large third district comprising a number of wards, including the 11th and 12th wards; Howard Murrell received only 847; Dr. Joe Thomas, 164. In the fourth district, Herbert Chauney received only 540. A very poor showing indeed for all four candidates. Tom's parade, last Monday evening, an effort to duplicate the one of two years ago, arranged by the good people of ward 11 (and not the third district), was a sorry spectacle in comparison with the latter.
After the first of the incoming year, the residents of ward 11 will have at least one member of the City Council to whom they can appeal for action and get it, and that is Miss Marle R. Wing. To a long-suffering people this is some consolation. It would indeed be interesting to the public to learn just how Tom Fleming's alleged election was brought about both this time and two years ago.
As indicated by the figures, very little attention was paid by voters to the candidacies of all four of the men mentioned. This was to be expected, for obvious reasons.
HUGHES' LANGUAGE PLAIN.
It is quite apparent that the suggestion of Secretary Hughes for the appointment of a commission to study Germany's ability to pay reparations is to be made the occasion for a new drive to get the U. S. government involved in European affairs and for the cancellation of some of the allied debts to this country. The effort will fail, just as similar campaigns in the past have broken down. The people of this country have come to understand thoroughly the debt situation—under what circumstances the money was loaned, the unqualified promises to repay, and the enormous additional burden that American taxpayers are assuming because of foreign delinquencies. They also are fully aware of their fortunate avoidance of dangers in the Genoa conference, the Brussels parley, the Lausanne meeting, the invitation to subdue the Turks, the suggestion that we stop the invitation to subdue the Turks, the suggestion that we stop the French from entering the Ruhr, and all the other diplomatic contrivances that have been arranged for American entanglement. No plainer language could have been used by Secretary Hughes in his reply to Lord Curzon. He emphasized the fact that the debts owing to the United States were separate transactions, not related in any way to the amount of reparations that Germany can pay. He also made it clear that while eminent American citizens could doubtless be found

The General Code of Ohio:

Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities 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 thereby to be recouped, pay part of competition 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 outtery 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 presently presides of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory:
Akron, O., April 25, 1919.
Hon. Harry C. Smith.
Pudget
Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O.
M. Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a partner of Fob 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for a lawsuit. THE HAW OF OHOI 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.
Do not wait for the collector, but call, send or mail at once your subscription money, or whatever you receive. Do not send a single copy of "The Old Reliable."

PROTEST AGAINST WRONG
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak an speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
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
"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.
It will pay you to investigate.

While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."

An Investment You Can’t Go
Wrong On!
And Which Will Turn $820 Into $1,000 in Five Years’ Time.
<a. >. ee |
RICH Da, Poor man, old or young, experienced or inexperienced in the
‘opportunities and the pitfalls of finauce, there is one investment me
‘ium to appeal to you all alike. |
It fs am investment which will not mature for five years from the date
‘et issue—but which, if destrabie, could be redeemed at any time prior to
uaturity. This should make it particularly attractive to those who, tor
good reasons or poor réasons (generally good ones), dislike to tle thelr |
money up in securities that cannot be liquidated at a moment's notice. Also
it should coustitute a very practical appeal to those who are familiar with
the disadvantages common to “callable” securities,
It is available in maturity-value denominations of as low as $25 and.as
high as $1,000. Hark to that, Income Builders who complain that there
are no giltedged opportunities available in denominations within the small
man’s reach!
It offers an income return which, In the light of the complete safety
vf the principal sum invested, may be described as highly satisfactory. The
Smallest unit of this-security, purchased at the issue price of $20.50, will
be worth $25 at the end of five years; a unit costing $82 will be worth $100,
after the same period; a unit costing $820 will be worsh $1,000. Values at
the end of intermediary years for a unit purchased at $82 will be as fol-
lows: At end of first year, $84.40; at end of second year, $86.80; at end
ef third year, $89.20; and at end of fourth year, $91.60. Other denomina-
Uns, over similar periods, grow in like proportion. The interest return
figures down to about 4 per cent yearly, compounded semt-annually, if the
investment be held to maturity; or about 8 per cent, simple interest, if the
Investmont be redeemed before maturity.
‘This investment is issued in serial form—or, at least, special yearly
series have been iseued in recent yeare, Note, then, that no individual
tuay hold more than $5,000 maturity value of any one series—that is to say,
any series issued during any one calendar year. But any person, firm, cor-
Loration or association may hold up to $5,000 worth and each individual
‘member of a family, adults and minors, may hold this amount.
Another attractive feature of this particular Investment les in the fact
that ownership is registered. Thus, the owner {s protected against loss
or theft.
Small investors, who have complained of the apparent tendency to con-
fine the benefits of tax-exemption to securities out and over the small man's
Feach are requested to note that, whether or not such discrimination exists
elsewhere, it does not exist here. The investment we talk about is not
exempt from estate and inheritance taxes; but it is exempt from the nor-
mal Federal income tax, and from all state, county and local’ taxation.
* One of tho busy man's most frequent stumbling blocks in the invest-
nient world of today 113s in the fact that 90 many of the better grade bonds
and preferred stocks—so many of the sort he might be inclined to buy—
are callable. Time after time, he will locate a security that seems very
sound, one that offers a good return, one whose absolute maturity is a long
way off, only to discover, upon further investigation, that it ie callable—
that fe, that the directors of the issuing corporation have the right to retire
said security, with minor qualifications, at any time. Not 'wishing to put
his funds into something which is lable to be called in, thus necessitating
teinvestment, most any moment, the busy man is naturally inclined to avoid
such securities. This investment we are talking about ia not callable.
As two final characteristics of this investment of ours, note, please,
(1) that holdings ‘may be converted into cash, instanter, at eny time, and
(2) that, while the issue is not at all subject to market fluctuations, never-
theless it is bound to increase in value. These two characteristics will no
doubt have @ very direct appeal to incgme builders, many of whom would
fiserfminate in favor of safety and neg&iabiity every day, especially when
these features are accompanied by a good interest return.
“s¥es—you guessed it! ‘The investment we are referring to {s the Treas-
sry Savings Certificates issued by the Treasury Department of the United
States Government. You can buy certificates direct from the United States
Treasury Department at Washington; or at Postoffices, Federal Reserve |
Banks, and many banks and ¢rust companies. /

‘THE PASSING MAGICIAN
Astounding Performances of Miracle
Workers No Loncer Awe the
Gaderal Public
‘Once looked upon as the possessor
of some occult power. openly renaried
with respectful awe, but in secret en-
vied and feebly imitated, the mast-
clan's miraculous faculties seem to
have dwindled until he is merely a
surprisingly dexterous human, quick
end edroit and very clever, but still
just a plain man. His magic wand is
no longer the dwelling of an obedient
“witch, but a plain stick with no qual-
itiés more supernatural than the or.
chestra leader's baton. Open cynicism
is the prevailing expresson upon the
faoep of the spectators at an extibp
tion“@f magic; and a child gazing in
saucereyed wonder is about the only
surviving reminder of the time when
the magician was a man of clammy
‘secrets known only to the elect of his
fmmediate circle. Living, hopping rab.
bits drawn from the air no longer
stun the mind of the spectator until
he questions no further than the fact;
fas Ikely as not he will wonder if the
magician feeds them well and gives
them enough exercise, Perhaps this
is a cynical age; pernaps the magician
has lost some of his skill. But prop:
ably the wonders of everyday lite—
the telephone, the phonograph, the
wreless—are so much more mysteri-
ous that the arts of the magician seem
‘puerile and false by comparison, On
the other hand magicians have given
up their secrets, and books have been
written revealing thelr methods, os-
tensibly to instrect the proselyte but
really to,satisty the curiosity of the
public. However astounding the per-
formance, the spectators appear to
Pelieve they have been sold; and
therein lies the difficulty. People at-
tend magic performances In order to
‘see through the trick rather than to
‘be impressed by {t, and therefore to
‘enjoy it. This phenomenon may be
‘one of the manifestations of a hyper-
‘critical age, an age in which the use-
fulness of the watch is destroyed by
disposition to tamper with the inner
works. Deillusionment may be good
for a limited number of over-credulous
persons, but for the run, of men it
means one less resource of enjoyment,
Realism on the stage 1s suffering from
Kis own excesses, and a return to dif-
ferent suggestion is replacing the biat-
‘ant exploitation of details. It may be
that a public apprised of the maci-
‘clan's secrets will regret {ts curiosity
and forget whet it knows for the sake
of thrills and exclametions of wonder
which thoee secrets once enabled it
to enjoy. But it remains for a new
genoration to restore the magician to

A remarkable caso of this kind ec:
carred durmg\the South African cam-
paign. Corporal Thomas, of the Wor.
cester Mounted Infantry, was leading
his pony up a hill at Arundal when a
Boer, about four hundred yards away,
fired’ at him and hit him four times,
One bullet went through him in im-
mediate proximity to the heart, and
another passed through the upper part
of tho abdomen, Had this happened
at Waterloo Mrs. Corporal Thomas
would have been bereft of her hus:
band and the Thomas children would
have been orphans.
But it was in South Africa, and Str
William MeCormac was in attendanco
on the Corporal. He examined the
patient and found no symptoms of in-
ternal injury to either the chest or the
abdomen. ‘The Corporal had a slight
rise of temperature for three days, and
4 week later he was sitting in a train
condemning the fate which transferred
him down country “all one account of
@ little stiffness in my finger Joints.”
Every surgeon who knows anything
about his busness can recall cases
of recovery after the heart had been
injured, and the army surgeon, most
of all, knows that eevn a bullet, lacen
ating’ and destructive thowe' i may
be, is not always fatal.
‘Men are alive today who carry in
their hearts bullets which have made
their home there,
In the last campaign in Morocco a
French soldier was wounded by a pis!
tol ball, which lodged in the left up-
per chamber, or auricle, of the heart.
For a week or two he walked about as
if nothing had happened; then he be-
gan to feel the pain, and his breath-
ing became difficult, ‘The X rays
were applied to his chest, and the bul-
Jet was seen lying embedded in the
soft, flesh of his heart and wagging
like'a pendulum at every beat of that
organ.
Tt was the work of an hour to get
hhim in hospital, open the chest and
extract the bullet, and long before the
fighting ended the gallant trooper was
out with his rifle agsin.
When a bullet strikes the brain the
brain sometimes wins. John McKen-
zie, a Crimean veteran, carried a bul-
Jet received in that campaign in his
head to the day of his death, which
occurred at ‘Torquay in 189, and the
only effect of it was to increase the
power of his voice so that. when he
sang in the church cholr it had a dis-
cordant effect,
‘At Maxersfontein there was a

MHUMAN NATURE'S
FOULEST BLOT.”
My car is pained
My soul is sick with every
- day's report
Of wrong and outrage, with
Which the earth is’ flied.
There is no flesh in man's ob
‘durate heart.
It does not feel for man: the
natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as
the flax
‘That falls asunder at the touch
‘of fires
He finas his fellow guilty of a
skin
Not colored like his own: and
having power
To enforce the wrong, for such
a worthy couse
Doom and devotes him as his
Lawful prey.
Thus man devotes hls brother,
‘and. destroys:
‘Tis Iiinan’ nature's broadest
foulest blot.
