FRESH OHIO NEWS
What Our People Are Doing Each Week — Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical — Marriages, Deaths, Etc.
YOUNGSTOWN.—Dr. A. D. Armstead has recovered and is again practicing.—Mrs. Harry Irvin, injured by an auto, last week, and taken to the hospital, is slowly recovering.—Mrs. Fiske was hostess to the Musolje club, Monday, at Belmont.—Mrs. Fred Hill entertained members of Oak Hill Ave. church's Y.

His father is very Ill.—Mrs. Florence Carey and Mrs. Bertha Davis are ill.
SHARLINE.—Our two candidates, Messrs. Wool, for township trustee, and Caushy, for constable, were "defeated" they say, but we do not believe it. For several days, it looked as if the latter was safe, but it now develops that he was not. Our voters feel keenly their mistreatment and ought to resent it in a proper way and at the proper time, which will be the next election. They can "get even" then, if they want to and will do so. J. Elmer Harvey, Jr., has resigned as secretary of our local club. This is to be regretted. He is discouraged.
Itting them.—Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Young and Mr. and Mrs. Lewin Goodson of Dayton returned, Frid day evening. The latter spent the week-end here with relatives.—Mrs. Louisa Young has been quite ill.

Manager Bob Davis, of the poplar Globe theatre, as you all know always tries to secure for his many patrons the very best obtainable in the amusement world, and the week of Nov. 19 will again prove it. Mr. Davis has gone to great expense to secure Mamie Smith and her "Jazz Hounds" who, with new selections, special scenery and gorgous costumes, will astound the local musical world. This is Mamie's first appearance in the East since her return from extensive engagements on the Coast, at the head of her own "company," "STRUTTING ALONG." Mamie Smith is rated as the greatest exponent of synception and jazz now on the American stage, and, according to the boss

Tourgee's works: "Bricks Without Straw," etc., etc.—The C. P. league held a very interesting meeting, Friday evening. The defeat of the McCord candidates for school board was cause for rejoicing.

MAMIE SMITH
The Widely Known "Queen of Syn cation and Jazz," and Her Celebrated "Jazz Hounds" at The Globe, Next Week.
Manager Bob Davis, of the popular Globe theatre, as you all know, always tries to secure for his many patrons the very best obtainable in the amusement world, and the week of Nov. 19 will again prove this. Mr. Davis has gone to great expense to secure Mamie Smith and her "Jazz Hounds" who, with now selections, special scenery and gorgeous costumes, will astound the local musical world. This is Mamie's first appearance in the East since her return from extensive engagements on the Coast, at the head of her own "company," "STRUTTING ALONG." Mamie Smith is rated as the greatest exponent of syncopation and jazz now on the American stage, and, according to the best critics, she is not likely to be displaced for some time to come. She is the first woman of the race to make a phonograph, record, and since the release of this record, "Crazy Blues," there has been a steady demand all over the United States for her records as well as for her personal appearance. Mamie Smith is one of the out-standing sensations of the race as a result of her records and she has done more than any other record star, white or black, to popularize the "blues" of today throut America and Canada. Her appearance here next week, will mark for lovers of "jazz" and "blues" one of the greatest events of the season. Mamie's gowns, by Madam Hammer of Paris and New York, and music especially arranged by the Rainbow Music Publishing Co. of New York, make this a certainty.
OBITUARY.
Andrew McSpadden, age 75, a Canadian by birth, a veteran of the war of the rebellion, and one of our best known and best-heloved residents of the "East End", for many years, died Saturday, at the Sandusky Soldiers' and Sailors' home, to which he had been admitted, last week Wednesday. Mr. McSpadden had been ill, several weeks, spending a few days of the time at St. Vincent's hospital just prior to being sent to the Sandusky home. Many of his closest friends did not learn of his illness until after his death and some not until after the funeral which was held. Monday morning, in Sandusky at the home and was attended by about a dozen close friends from this city, including Mr. G. C. Hascall in whose employ the deceased was for many years and who practically pensioned Mr. McSpadden, years ago. The deceased was a member of the G. A. R. and St. James' A. M. E. church and was one of the most loyal members of the race it has ever been our good fortune to know. For many years he was one of the editor of The Gazette's closest friends. A son and daughter, who live in Chicago, survive him, and have the sympathy of the community. The daughter, Mrs. Wilson of Chicago, arrived in the city, several weeks ago, having been notified of her father's illness.
Aged Minister Wins!
New Orleans, La.—Rev. M. H. Blackburn, 71 years old, of East Baton Rouge parish, was awarded judgment for $7,500 against relatives, recently, by a decision of the Supreme Court, as his share of the estate left by his wife.
His Hand Blown Off!
Turin, Italy.—Something of a sensation was created here by the fortitude shown by Lieut. Albergo, Negro officer in the Italian army, during an operation for injuries sustained when bombs were prematurely exploded before Premier Mussolini. When Albergo's hand was blown off he cried out: "Long live Mussolini." Italy's fair play toward her black soldiers produces such loyalty.
HARVEY SPEELMAN HAS "JIM CROW" OFFICE FOR RACE Soventy-Eight Clerks Separated and Kept Apart From Those of The White Race
____
Washington, D. C.—The most complete, effective and the crassest type of segregation, a challenge to the fair-play sense of the Republican party and its new leadership, is found in the "jim crow" section of the office of Harvey V. Speelman, U. S. register of the treasury. What has been termed a "pen" on the top or sixth floor of the aforementioned building, at the extreme south end, set off by a temporary wall extending across the room to separate them from the whites on the same floor, in 1,800 square feet, with scant window space, about 78 Afro-American clerks are bound. On the same floor with ample space, were told when they appeared at the white exercises that they had no business in there, but should be on the sixth floor in the "pen." Segregation in the register's office is reported to have had its origin during the later days of the Wilson administration at the instance of A. J. Leakin (white), a man for a long time a minor clerk, a "deserving Democrat," who was suddenly thrust into a $3,000 per year position as division chief. To Afro-American employees' lot, it fell to come into his division. Immediately he created a "pen" by building a wall to separate colored and white employees. Through some mysterious politics this Democratic holdover and segregation promoter has been retained and even upheld by Harvey V. Speelman, hence unrest in the office under question, a virtual system of slavery and the recent but soon recalled verbal order delivered by our section superintendent to the effect that our women use separate lavatories. This order was quickly recalled, but no public reprimand has been given, nor has Harvey V. Speelman publicly fixed any responsibility. Under Speelman's regime, too, segregation has been extended by increasing the number in the "jim crow" section and by enlarging the "pen" space. These are facts, tested by investigation. President Coolidge, National Chairman Adams and the secretary of the treasury should be called upon and asked to remedy this disgraceful situation in an office the headship of which for over a quarter of a century was hallowed by the names of illustrious race leaders.
"Emperor Jones in France. Paris, France.—French dramatic critics were distinctly impressed at the opening of the play at the Odeon the O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones." While some of the atmosphere was lost by the translator using full French, words and the spiritualist scene fell rather flat, the presentation was warmly received by a distinguished French audience. Benglia, the Senegalese actor, especially scored in the main part. Benglia qualified for the select Odeon direct from the Follies Bergers.

New York City. In connection with the estimated northward migration of 500,000 Negroes in one year, South Carolina's expenditures on the education of white and colored children are offered in evidence by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, as one of the chief causes disposing colored people to leave the South. The figures published by South Carolina's Department of Education show that ten times as much was spent on white as on Negro children, although the Negro population at the 1920 U.S. census exceeded the white population. The South Carolina educational statistics, covering the years 1922-1923, as compiled by Power W. Bethea, state supervisor of rural schools, and published in the Charleston News and Courier of Oct. 31, 1923, are as follows:
Georgia Poinage.
The N. A. A. C. P. is taking up with the federal department of justice a communication, from an Afro-American who escaped from Georgia, telling of peonage conditions there. The letter well answers the question as to why our people are leaving the South. It is as follows:
"Gentlemen: As I cannot read or write, I got a friend to write this. Never in school in my life. I worked on this man's (name withheld for federal action) farm all my life. Never did get a cent for my labor until I ran away. I am 35 years old. All we Negroes got to eat was cornbread and bacon and few clothes.

Siki. "A Real Puglist."
New York City.—Tox Rickard has announced that Nov. 20 has been selected as the date of the meeting of Battling Ski, champion light heavyweight pugilist of the world, and Kid Norfolk, in a bout at Madison Square Garden, the Senegalese boxer having convinced him by two weeks of hard training that he is "seriously a pugilist." Isn't Rickard real amusing, at times?
ELEMING NOT WANTED
FLEMING NOT WANTED.
Councilman Thomas W. Fleming lacked forty-eight votes of enough to make up the quota necessary to secure his re-election. These were given him from Councilman Herman Finkle's "surplus." This was permissible under the new plan of voting. On the face of the returns, Fleming received only 2915 votes in the third DISTRICT, which is made up of four or five wards. In round numbers, this is only 500 more votes than was allowed the writer, two years ago, in ward 11 alone, after 2600 votes had disappeared. And ward 11 is one of the wards in the third district of this city. Fleming was opposed by the ministers, white and colored, and by the great mass of the good people of the district, just as he was two years ago in ward 11, and his "vote" at the recent election is proof of the fact that he was not wanted, two years ago, as councilman of ward 11 and is not wanted now as a representative of the third district In the City Council. Fleming was on the "Republican organization's slate." This accounts for his "re-election."
In the recent P. W. A. membership drive contest, Mrs. W. H. Gray brought in $167; Miss Pauline Millner, $130. The secretaries reported as follows: Miss Helen Roberts, $473; Mrs. Minerva Taylor, $475; Miss Beatrice Foster, $456; Miss P. E. Moreland, $313; Mrs. Madeline Fowler, $275. The total exceeded $3,000.

Four to 10-12 lived in a room-shack. This overseers carried stick, whip and gun. They whipped children, women and men. They would make men and women strip their clothes down and get on their knees and sometimes tie them to a plow and whip them from 25 to 100 lashes at a time. You dare to ask for money or anything else! Where I am now, I am getting paid, once every week, and buying a house. My wife has a job also and the children are going to school.
"I did not know, before, there was living, in the world, for Negroes. If I send you my name would it be any danger of them carrying me back to Georgia? My own children never ever got any clothing scarcely there.

Shirts generally come to the top of the knees. "Girls could not hide their nakedness. Overseers SEDUCED any young girl they wanted and parents could not help themselves. I would send my name but I don't want to go back to the farm. I never did commit a crime." The white man accused of poaching

The constitutional amendment,
providing for the elimination of the
words “white male” from the quall-
fications of Obio voters, was ap-
Proved at the recent election with
the result that the obsolete twin-
word relics of “the days before the
war” (of the rebellion) have at last
been wiped trom the state constitu-
tion, It is something to feel thank-
ful for, anyhow.

New York City elected an Afro-
American alderman and member of
the Legislature. Both Democrats,
All of our several (Republican) can-
didates for judgeships in Cleveland
and Chicago were defeated. They,
too, would have been elected it our
people would only register and vote
Mike they should and will ere long.
Many of our people, who came to the
North in the last five or six years,
are very slow in realizing the im-
Portance of voting, not having been
accustomied to exercising the fran-
chise. Southern disfranchisement
“laws” are to blame for this.

“A WAVE OF HYSTERIA.”
‘The National Conference board of
N. Y, City, am organisation affiliated
with many large manufacturing con-
cerns thruout the country, issued a
“report,” Monday, in which it said:
“During 1916 and 1917, it was
estimated that in @ wave of hysteria
approximately 400,000 Negroes left
the south, as ‘whole communities,
entire streets of people, and even
church congregations, headed by
their pastors, moved north and lo-
eated as anits in the important in-
dustrial centers.”
No, the National Conference board
report did not tell what caused that
“wave of hysteria.” It took good
care net 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 to the North will con-
tinue. Nothing else can stop it.

‘THE WAY TO PROHIBIT.
A judge im New Haven has hit
upon the only real means of en-
forcing the prohibition law—he has
Degun sending bootleggers to jail.
‘That is the only way the prohibition
law will ever be made effective. A
Dootlegger does not mind a fine of
& few hundred dollars any more
than some people mind paying a
$2 fine for parking an auto near a
fire plug. But going to jail gets the
dootleggers’ goat. It interferes with
his business. A bootlegger who is
merely fined feels grateful to the
judge, for the payment of the fine
makes the government a sort of
partner in the business—a sharer in
the nefarious profits. If the New
Haven judge bad jurisdiction thru-
out the entire United States, there
would be a quick end to the con-
troversy over responsibility for non-
enforcement of the law. There would
be no non-enforcement. The amount
of liquor @ bootlegger can distribute
while he is in jail won't make any-
body drank.

HYSTERIACS IN ERROR.
A former diplomat, who has re-
cently traveled in Europe and com-
pared conditions as he finds them
with conditions as they are de-
scribed in American newspapers and
tp cireulars distributed for propa-
ganda purposes, remarks that he is
“beginning to lose faith in his fél-
low countrymen when he sees the
credulity with which they swallow
any weird tale without examination,
then accept it as their own opin-
fon and then get hysterical in de-
fense of that opinion.” His words
accurately describe « very consider-
able number of our people and yet
his language {s not applicable to the
great majority. It is true that a
few get bysterical in their anxiety
o have the United States “do some-|
hing for Europe.” There are some
people who are so constituted that
they can not think or act in a de-
berate and logical manner. They
are, as he says, ready to swallow a
weird tale and, having accepted it as
true, lose all sense of reason and
proportion in their efforts to have
that opinion adopted and acted upon
vy others. Some times we have
had hysterical people of that kind
i high official position. Just al
present, however, the affairs and
policies of the government are in the
nands of men who think before they
speak or act. Many months ago we
were assured that unless the Unitec
States immediately departed from
its traditional policies and under
(ook to settle the troubles of Europe
civilization would fall and chaos
would rule throughout the world
After that sort of hysterical propa
ganda had been in progress for sev
eral months Secretary Hughes las
December outlined for the benefit o
Burope « plan by which ite trouble:
could be ended. Nearly a year bai
assed since then. Burope did no
act upon the suggestions, but civil
ization ‘has not fallen nor has chao
taken possession of the world. Hys
seriacs were mistaken as usual.
WHO IS BOSS OF AMERIOA?
Whether the United States is to
‘determine its own immigration pol-
icy oF have that policy dictated by
European people who want to come
here, is the question presented by
the excess numbers of immigrants
now coming to America. Recently
there arrived in American ports
4,000 would-be immigrants in ex-
cess of the number that can be ad-
mitted under the law. ‘Thus Is pre-
‘sented for determination the ques-
on whether the law shall be set
aside and nullified because 4,000
people want to come in. Of course,
the plea is that these people have
incurred the expense of coming here,
and have severed their home tles.
They have spent all they had in pay-
ment of cost of transportation. To
send them back would be inhuman.
That is the argument to be made in
behalf of their admission, and the
same argument can and will be
made in behalf of thousands more
if these 4,000 be admitted. Four
thousand immigrants more or less
may be of some consequence, but it
is of relatively little consequence
beside the greater and fundamental
question whether our immigration
policies are to be determined by our-
selves or by Europeans. If the
United States government is to sur-
render its right to say who shall
come and when and how, then we
might as well throw down the bars
entirely, repeal the immigration
laws and permit everybody to come
who wants to come. Every Amer!-
can naturally feels sympathy for
people who have landed here with
the expectation of being permitted
to stay. But we have ourselves to
think of as well as them. We have
been recefving an immigration
which we have been unable to as-
similate. We are menaced by &
‘horde of allens who are antagonistic
‘to American ideals and American in-
stitutions. The immigration restric-
tion law was enacted for the express
and sole purpose of checking the
flood of immigration so that we can
Americanize those we have already
admitted before we add tremend-
ously to our burden. As President
Coolidge recently remarked, we can-
not expect people who come here in
violation of our laws to be law-abid-
ing after they get here. They are a
constant menace to our institutions.
Of course there are exceptions to
this rule, but ft is generally true.
Men who are able to circumvent the
law of the land in order to get in,
will have no respect for that law
of the nation after they get here.
Having evaded the law in one re-
spect, they will not hesitate to at-
empt evading it In other respects.
The only safe procedure is to de-
port those who came in illegally.
IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON-
‘TEND FOR RIGHTS?
Colored Americans are the
only race, responsible members
of which are in favor ef sub-
mitting to discrimination on
the claim that their race “al-
ways will be discriminated
against.” The Jews are still
contending, after over 1900

Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the
proprietor or his employee, keeper or
manager of au inn, restaurant, eat-
ing house, barber-shop, public con-
veyance by land or water, theater or
other place of public accommodation
and amusement, denies to a citizen,
except for reasons applicable alike

next preceding section shall also pay
not less than fifty dollars nor more

son aggrieved thereby to be recov-
ered in any court of competent jur-
Isdiction 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 manufac-
tured outery for the passage of the
Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Ak-
ron 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, ©., April 25, 1919.
Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, 0.
My Dear Sir: Observing your let-
ter in the Beacon-Journal, of this
city, 1 venture to send you, under a
separate cover, the Ohio Law Re-
porter of Feb. 3, last, containing the
opinion of the Court of Appeals in
the Puritan Eanch Co. vs. Leonard
H. Forman, decided in Akron, last
fall, in which a judgment for ($500)
five hundred’ dollars was sustained,
If the Beacon-Journal had known
what was going on in its own town,
there would have been no occasion
for criticism editorially. THE LAW
OF OHIO IS UNDER NO RE-
PROACH, nor our courts and juries,
in administering it. Not a word was
said by the Beacon-Journal when the
Forman case was reviewed.
Very truly yours,
'R. ©. Grant.

Records
A large demand has always existed for records by
race artists particularly in the South. There were
many melodies dear to the heart of every colored per-
son—melodies that for generations, ‘‘Mammys’’ have
erooned to their little ones. Chants sung in the
southern moonlight to the tune of the banjo. These
songs were preserved by singing them from genera-
tion to generation in the home, and race artists and
minstrels have sung them in their ‘skits’? and
“shows”’ as they traveled over the country.
Okeh recognized this need, and decided to record
songs and melodies that had an appeal to the colored
race. They were forced to go slow at the start, as
they were the only pioneers in the field. Mamie
Smith, the greatest of all race artists, was chosen to
make the first recording which was released in July,
1920. The demand for this record was so great that,
with this encouragement, more records were released.
Suddenly, from out of the South, a wave of ‘‘jazz”’
and ‘“‘blues” swept the entire country. This innova-
tion justified taking longer strides than could have
been taken under ordinary conditions. Mamie Smith
became known as the ‘Colored Queen of Syncopa-
tion.”
Gradually the repertoire of Okeh race artists has
been imcreased. Esther Bigeou, Lizzie Miles, Sara
Martin, Clarence Williams, Shelton Brooks, Eva
Taylor and other well known artists are now record-
ing for Okeh.
Today, Okeh race records are supreme because of
their crystal clear recordings, volume and music com-
posed and recorded especially for them by their own
race artists.

MAMIE SMITH RECORDS
Mamie Smith, the first woman of the race to become prominent
om phonograph records, was discovered by Okeh, and made famous
through her records. Mamie is the greatest “Qucen of Syncopation”
