ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since Open Saturday until 10 P. M. THE KU KLUX QUESTION And Disfranchisement Brought to The Republican National Committee—Both May Get A Hearing. Washington, D. C.—Vigorous protests against reductions in southern delegates under the new plan were made, Monday, by a large delegation of Afro-Americans before a subcommittee of the Republican national committee. It was charged that the loyal southern members of the race were disaffirmed in the party's councils under the reapportionment, which was ordered by the 1920 convention. So vigorous protests against the new reapportionment that the sub-committee headed by Senator Howell, Nebraska, decided to yield to requests for a hearing on the subject before the full committee, Tuesday. Although those protesting were informed that it was too late to change the new basis, the sub-committee thought it would make for a better understanding of the 1924 convention, to have the matter threshed out before the fire committee. The Ku Klux Question. QUESTION. In addition to the reappointment question, that of the Klu Klu Klan was presented forebly. Monday, by R. B. Creaer, Texas committeeman, who sent letters to all of the committee members urging them to take a vigorous stand against the Klan. "The Klan already controls the political machinery of more than one Democratic state," said Mr. Creaer. He has been a House guest for several days and has been mentioned prominently in connection with the appointment of an ambassador to Mexico. "It is reaching out for the control of other, and Republican states. Some of the Klan leaders boast of their aspirations for national power." Mr. Creaer gave notice that he would attempt to insert a plank in the 1924 platform condemning the Klan, but leaders said they did not believe the issue would come now before the national committee's sessions. PRESIDENT AND MRS. COOLIDGE Honor "Col." Phil H. Brown's Widow —His Letter of Condolence And Their Floral Offering Among Many Others. Washington, D. C. —The funeral services of "Col. Ivant Brown, age 54, who died suddenly of acute indigestion, Nov. 30, were held, Dec. 1, at his residence, 1326 Riggs Pl., and were largely attended. The body was taken on Dec. 3 to their old home, Hopkinsonville, Ky., for burial by the widow. Phil H. Brown was born in Ironton, Ohio, in 1869 and came to Washington at an early age where he took up the printer's trade. Later he became employed in the government printing office and was said to be the first member of the race to be admitted into the printers' union. He had owned and edited the newspaper, and was to be publishing one of them in Kentucky that he was elected a delegate to the last Republican National Convention. Out of this grew his connection with the Chicago headquarters of the party in the following (Harding) campaign and his ap- "COL." PHIL BROWN pointment as a commissioner of conciliation in the U. S. Labor Department which position he was holding at the time of his death. Many telegrams and letters of condolence were received by the widow, Mrs. Dollie R. Brown, from men high in the ranks of public dignitaries, among them being the following from President Coolidge: "My Dear Mrs. Brown: The news of your husband's death has just reached me and I am hastening to express my sympathy and most sincere condolence. I have had occasion to know something of his long illness, and I want to to the government and wish you to know of my conviction that the court try and the public service have sustained a very real loss in his death. "Most sincerely yours," "CALVIN COOLIDGE." The President and Mrs. Coolidge were also among those who sent beautiful floral offerings. Besides the widow, Mr. Brown is survived by a sister, Mrs. Raymondyoida, a niece, Mrs. Louise Reynolds, both of Columbus, Ohio; a nephew, Calvin J. Peters of Ironton, Ohio; two nieces in New York, Miss Martha Peters and Mrs. Ruth Beach, and other relatives, Mrs. Helen Stoppee, Miss Jean Reynolds, Alex Peters and Robert McGuire of Detroit, Mich. PLEADS FOR OUR GRADUATES Another of the Many Unjust. Discriminations Promoted by "Jim Crow" Schools, Y. M. C. A.'s and Y. W. C. A.'s. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In a forceful letter, Neil H. Thomas has entered a protest against discrimination against graduates of our schools of Washington at the public library. The librarian maintains a library training class tuition for graduates of white schools, and then gives well-paid appointments on the staff to this favored group when they have finished the course. The letter reads: "Every form of education should be maintained by the state, for it is the wisest, hence the justest, of governmental expenditures, but where the colored young ladies' Our high and poor students are Colored youths graduate more students every year than can find Prof. Neval H. Thomas. placement in our Colored schools here. They need the opportunities at our public library far more than do the white students, as every field is open to the latter. Out of a total of 110 graduates from our normal school, last June, not more than 40 can even hope for appointment as teachers. This year the conditions will be worse, as there are 311 students in our Colored school to the library training classes and then to the library service will simply be a matter of ordinary justice, as the library is supported by every one of the 400,000 people who make up our municipal population through our system of indirect and direct taxation. Then it is in keeping with enlightened practice, for that greater institution, the library of congress has employed Colored assistants for sixty years, and they have worked with their white co-workers without friction, and they mutual respect.

Malone, heads of Poro College, returned home, last week, and were given a royal reception by the employees of the famous Poro College. They were in fine health and full of enthusiasm over observations on their western trip, and especially of the progress made by Poro agents. A kindly welcome was extended by the friends and employees of Poro College. A source of joy which came to Mr. and Mrs. when they were ushered into the assembly hall was a splendid program rendered by the society and orchestra. The splendid playing of the orchestra, under the direction of the Mr. Harris, was highly pleasing to the Malones, and the heads of Poro College see great possibilities for this musical organization.

Protested Lincoln's Policies A picturesque—though not politically important—national convention was held in Cleveland in 1864, while the Civil War was in progress. It nominated Gen. John C. Fremont, who issued the first emancipation order for president, as a protest against the war against Ham Lincoln. Its members were IN UNION IS STRENGTH COPY FIVE CENTS pists homecoming were Banker and Mrs. Jesse Binga of Chicago. This was their first visit to Poro College and they were elated over the wonderful progress made by Mr. and Mrs. Malone, and the fine co-operation exhibited by all of their employees. Editor Franklin of the Kansas City (Mo.) Call spent two days visiting Poro College during the homecoming festivities. Mr. and Mrs. Cary B. Lewis and son of Chicago were also guests of Mr. and Mrs. Malone and spent one week enjoying their comfort and hospitality. The Lewisson by the Tilda "Tilda Reliable" Gazette were present at the dedication of the new building, the annex, and the unveiling of the beautiful painting in the lobby. Mr. and Mrs. Malone arrived in the city just in time to take part in the Community Chest Fund drive. "A POINT WELL TAKEN"! Wonder if the President's Private Secretary, the Hon. C. Bascomb Slemp of "Virginiagh, Sahi", Had Anything to Do With It? Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—In his message to Congress, President Coolidge devotes a paragraph beginning: "Numbered among our population are some 12,000,000 Colored people." He goes on to say that "on account of the migration of large numbers into industrial centers it has been proposed that a commission be created composed of members from both races to formulate a policy for mutual understanding and confidence. Such effort is to be commended, but it is well to recognize that these difficulties to a large extent are local problems which must be worked out by the mutual forbearance and human kindness of each community." Isn't there an echo of the old debate, lasting for two generations before our Civil War, regarding the so-called Negro question in President Coolidge's words? And doesn't inadvertently perhaps, take the position that the黑人 who resented the idea that the question of human slavery was a national problem? The historic "state rights" position toward the Negro, which had to be settled by the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of lives on the battlefields of the South, appears to be revived by the expression "local problems" used by the President. His apparent mind in this matter, indirect opposition to brahman-Lincoln's conviction that the Negro problem of his day could be solved only on the broad basle proposition that this nation could not endure half slave and half free, is sure to antagonize, and rightly, all Americans who believe that the status of the Negro in our American civilization must be determined from a national and not a sectional standpoint. When General Hancock, the Democratic candidate, asserted that "the tariff is a local issue" he lost all chance that he would be reposition. The country at large ridiculed a man who was so lacking in statesmanlike perception that he could confound in his mind an issue that was nationwide in its scope with one that had merely local significance. It would prove absolutely disastrous for the Republican party to nominate for President a candidate who fails to realize that in so far as there is today an unconnected with our Negro brethren it is, and must always be, a national and not a sectional question. nominally Republicans. Only about 400 attended, though the protest was expected to attract thousands. Fremont was the first candidate for president to run under the banner of the Republican party as constituted today. He opposed James Buchanan in 1856, when Buchanan was elected president. Arthur B. Murtha.

CLEVELAND, DEC. 15, 1923. The Republican National convention is to convene in Cleveland, June 10 of next year. That will bring many and varied responsibilities some of which must be borne by our people. So commence now to get ready for them. --- Phil H. Brown did his first newspaper work for The Gazette when a young man at fronton, so he frequently told us in years gone by. He was an able, genial and loyal race-worker whose death is a distinct loss. His good wife has our heartfelt sympathy. --- Republican National Committee-man Creager of Texas certainly did a good thing when he sought to bring the matter of the Ku Klux Klan before the Republican National committee, the first of this week at Washington, D. C., and promised to make a fight against the vicious organization in the next Republican National convention. More power to him! The "fine Italian hand" of the Hön. C. Bascomb Slemp, secretary to President Calvin Coolidge, and former Congressman from Virginia, is seen in the paragraph or two devoted to "Negroes" in the President's recent message to the Congress, and also in the sending of that floral tribute, and letter of condolence to Mrs Phil H. Brown. He is certainly measuring up to the expectations of those astute political leaders who urged his appointment upon the President. A careful reading of Mr. Arthur B. Murtha's communication, published elsewhere in this paper, will help many to better understand the foregoing, we feel sure. --- That President Coolidge is very conservative all now know. His reference to the "Negro" and lynching or mob violence, etc., were conservative to the last degree and sadly disappointed the great mass of the intelligent members, male and female, of the race. Our only hope is that he will improve. As matters stand, it is going to be mighty difficult for Afro-Americans of intelligence, as well as many others who understand the situation, to enthuse over his candidacy for renomination and reelection. A condition that must be changed in case he is renominated, if he is to lead the party to victory in November of next year. It is rather late now to heckle the Republican National committee on the reduction of southern representation in Republican national conventions but it is a good idea to let both the committee and the next national convention know that an undeserved affront has been given northern Afro-Americans, which they feel keen, as well as unfair treatment accorded southern Republicans, all because the Congress has shamefully failed to do its clear duty, in the matter of southern disfranchisement, as mandatorily required by the U. S. Constitution, the fundamental law of the land. That reduction is going to cost our candidates thousands of votes, here in the North, next fall. THE NEW PRESIDENT Atty. Clayborne George, recently elected president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., earned the honor by doing good work for it. The Gazette congratulates both Mr. George and the organization. The new president is a native of Virginia, a graduate of the academic, college and law departments of Howard University, received the degree of master of law at Boston University, and was a lieutenant overseas during the world war. With this record behind him, all have a right to expect much more aggressive leadership of the organization from President George than it has ever had. Indeed, its greatest weakness from the very beginning, and the thing above all that has kept it from winning the full confidence and support of our people in this community, has been its wolfful lack of aggressiveness in helping our people in this community to secure justice when their civil rights and privileges in public places have been denied them. The organization has some exceptionally good members, several of whom are its officers. Therefore, we confidently look for broader and better racial action in this community, upon the part of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. under the leadership of President George, that will win larger support and greater confidence in the organization from all people of this community, particularly from our group. In denouncing what he is pleased to term the "sullen isolation" of the United States, Ex-President Thomas Woodrow Wilson forgets that this country is now out of the League of Nations solely because of his own influence. When the League covenant was under discussion in the Senate, certain reservations were proposed which merely reduced to writing the interpretations orally put upon the covenant by Mr. Wilson himself. But he insisted that the treaty must be ratified "without the dotting of an 'i' or the crossing of a 't'," and his control over the Democrats in the Senate was so complete that they voted to reject the document with the reservations attached. This is all history and can readily be verified by the record. Mr. Wilson was successful in getting his covenant put into the Treaty of Versailles as its most prominent feature, but his stubborn nature would not consent to the interpretations put upon it by the Senate, even though they expressed in formal language only what he himself had said the document meant. The United States is the gainer because of Mr. Wilson's uncompromising attitude in 1920. Had it not been for his determined stand against reservations, we would now be up to our necks in the European turmoil. He calls it a "fatal error" because we are not involved therein, but the "error" is his own, and the shafts he aimed at his countrymen should, in the light of the record, have been directed at himself. CHIEF GRAUL'S DENIAL A copy of the following letter was sent, last week, to the editors of The News, The Plain Dealer and The Press, local daily papers: Cleveland, O., Dec. 7, 1923. Dear Sir: Please correct the unfortunate impression made upon many people in this community by the publication, in a local evening paper ("The Press"), a few days ago, to the effect that Police Chief Graul had issued an order, last week Friday, which called for "the arrest of every Negro in Cleveland who was not at home, Thursday night." Chief Graul informed the writer, Wednesday of this week, that he did not issue that order but that he did order the police to arrest every QUESTIONABLE character of color who was absent from his home, last week Thursday night, particularly those that lived in lodging houses, etc. Publication of the foregoing is asked as a matter of fairness to the great majority of Negroes, in this community, who are good, law-abiding citizens and could not by any stretch of imagination be implicated in the crime committed when Patrolman Fromm was almost shot to death, last week Thursday night. A solicitor of the postoffice department makes the estimate that a million gullible Americans yearly lose a billion dollars in money and property in mail fraud schemes. Even if the postal attorney who has given this subject close attention is a hundred million or so off in his figures, the amount is still so large as to stagger the imagination. The loss falls upon people who can least afford to stand it, for people who have had the ability to acquire considerable savings do not usually fall for the schemes of the crooks. It is the man or woman of small savings who becomes the victim. There ought to be a few principles so clear that no proof of them is necessary. In the first place, if a man has oil stock or gold mine stock or some sort of industrial stock that really has value, he will not be paying stock-salesman a commission of 25 to 50 per cent to sell it for him. If the man who owns it and is in the best position to know its value, is anxious to sell it, that fact ought to be conclusive evidence that it is really worth less than the price the owner asks. He is not a philanthropist. He is sell- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DEC. 15. 1923 ing because he thinks the money he asks is worth more than the stock. Another plain fact is that in buying commodities the purchaser is safest in dealing with the local merchant upon whom he has a "comback" if the article is not as represented. The postoffice department tells of mail-order concerns that advertised a certain number of yards of silk at a low price—and buyers received silk thread for their money. No local merchant ever tried to put over a scheme like that. There are undoubtedly a few well established and responsible mail-order houses which always deal honestly with customers. They could not otherwise stay in business. But even where the concern is honest, the purchaser does not have the convenient opportunity to exchange goods if not entirely satisfactory. In the long run it pays to deal with the merchants in your home town and make your investments through and with the advice of your local banker.

KEEP GOING When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, And the road you're treading seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high. And you want to smile, but you have to sligh. When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must—but don't you quit. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man. Often the struggler has given up. When he might have captured the victor's cup; And he learned too late, when night slimmed down. How close he was to the laureled crown. Success is failure turned inside out— The silver tint of the clouds of doubt All you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're arried to it. It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. Edward A. Guest. DeForrest Hotel 2219 E.

Foxy Iowa Agriculturist is Arrested in Chicago for Trimming Two Would-Be Soil Tillers Down on the farm at Cherokee, Iowa, Alexander Erick read the city papers and found out all about the "oxy slickers" who lie in wait for the innocent farmer. Suddenly the Big Idea struck Aleck, and all during that night he even smiled in his sleep. Next morning Aleck rubbed a little hayseed in his hair, put on his best pair of rawhide top boots, packed the old carpet-bag and went to Chicago to meet some affable stranger who would take him down to the lake front to see the German submarines come up for air. He met Thomas Pleske and Nichlas Kirchgesner in a saloon near the stockyards. He waited patiently, but they did not offer to sell him the Logan monument or the Masonic Temple, so he offered them jobs down on the farm. Hard work? Early rising? No, no. indeed. That was in the olden days, but not now. All the modern farm hand has to do is drive the automobile down to the general store for fresh eggs for breakfast, count the money left by the commission merchant on his daily visit and then dress up and take the neighbors' girls out riding. Aleck explained to the two city men. Pleske and Kirchgeser decided that "down with the cows and chickens" was the life for them, and each handed Aleck $10 for railroad fare to Cherokee and then went home to have their suits pressed and their shoes shined. When next they met Aleck he gave the cold shoulder. "Don't know you fellers from a pair of Massaasgy Indians," he is reported to have told them. They had him arrested as a "bunco man." "You ought to be ashamed of yourself," Police Captain Gorman told Erlick. "When farmers come to town they are expected to let the city fellers' get their pocketbooks, but see what you have done. All the comic papers will have to go out of business right away." Score one for the farmer—also two for the city slickers. John Severson worked as a farm hand in North Dakota for twenty years and succeeded in saving enough money to buy a ticket back to his old home in Sweden. He arrived in Chicago on his way to New York to board a steamer. Two men stopped him in the Dearborn street depot and confided that they had a cariood of horses which they were shipping to the German army. They needed some money to pay the freight to New York. John lent them $50 for an hour or two. At nightfall he started back for North Dakota to work for another twenty years. Rudolph Kruger of Cleveland stood in the Grand Central depot holding a handkerchief. A policeman approached him with a broad smile on his face. "Two men told me I looked like a well-to-do," explained Rudolph, "and said they wanted me to hold their money. Then—" "Enough," interrupted the policeman. "How much did you contribute?" "I placed $$0 in the handkerchief here, if that is what you mean," replied Kruger. "See," he continued, opening the handkerchief, "they each put in $200 and—" TELLS WHY THERE ARE SIGTS ON A RIFLE Without Them the Marksman Firing at Long Range Could Never Hit His Mark. The average person, if asked to explain why a rifle is sighted, would probably be unable to do so beyond some vague remark about taking correct aim. Sights are necessary because a bullet does not travel in a straight line, but under the influence of gravity and friction, begins to drop almost as soon as it leaves the muzzle. Thus the bullet of the army rifle drops six inches in the first 100 yards, but when it has gone 200 yards it will have dropped, not twelve inches, but two feet. The drop increases by leaps and bounds with the distance. Where there no sights on the rifle and you wanted to hit a mark at 200 yards, you would clearly have to aim two feet above it. This would be awkward, for you lose sight of the object aimed at, to say nothing of the difficulty of correctly estimating at a distance of two feet at 200 yards. The sights on a rifle enable you to keep your eye on the mark, although the muzzle of the rifle is actually pointing above it. The moving slide of the back-sight enables you automatically to point the muzzle just so many feet above the mark aimed at as is necessary to counteract the down drop of the bullet at various ranges. NEW MACHINE FOR PAPER BOXES Pennsylvania Man's Device Is Fet and Saves Much Work Another labor-saving device has been added to the machinery used in the making of paper and pasteboard boxes. A box-covering machine, invented by Harrison S. Gipe of Palmyra, Pa. has a capacity of 1,200 boxes per hour, against four or five hundred of former method known, to box makers. Another feature is that the new in- vention saves about 40 per cent of glue. An extra device places the string in hosiery boxes in the same operation in which the box is covered. This was formerly done by hand. MENTAL EQUALS! OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW Are the Northern Negro and Southern White. A Most Illuminating And Interesting Comparison Based On Facts And Figures Gathered By Government Army Officials And Others. (The Gazette has been granted special permission by Editor Alexander Marky of Pearson's Magazine, published at 301 Conkey Ave., Hammond, Ind., to republish the following exceptionally interesting copyrighted article, written by Herbert B. Alexander, which appeared in Pearson's for November, this year.—Editor.) white population native born of native parentage ( unaffected by the recent immigration from South and Central Europe), rank lower in average intelligence per white than the mass of Negroes in any genuinely northern state? Why furthermore, should Mississippi with 96.3 per cent of her whites native born of native parentage, Arkansas with 95.9 per cent and Kentucky with 91.9 per cent all show exceptional intelligence. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DEC. 15, 1922. white population native born of native parentage (unaffected by the recent immigrations from South and Central Europe), rank lower in average intelligence per white than the mass of Negroes in any genuinely northern state? Why, furthermore, should Missouri, with 98.3 per cent of her whites native born of native parentage, Arkansas with 95.9 per cent and North Carolina with 94.9 per cent all show even less ability in answering the army intelligence tests? It is not difficult to ascertain why the northern Negro should receive so much better grades in the army tests than his southern brother. Selective migration has played its part. The more imaginative, the more enterprising Negro has heeded the call of opportunity in the North. The environment of the northern Negro, moreover, is immeasurable more favorable, for the southern rural surroundings of the southern black. In the North the Colored man partakes of the splendid schools, libraries, the multiple channels of communication ideas which characterize urban life. In the South he is in "his place" in backward rural communities with the wretched facilities for education and culture. However we may explain it, the fact stands forth plainly. The unselected representatives of the one million Negroes of the North were able to demonstrate to the world through the army intelligence tests of 1917 that they were capable of competing on a scale of intellectual equality with the twelve or fifteen millions of southern whites. We can only wonder of the reactions which might result were the remaining nine millions of American Negroes to be given the same environmental conditions as men in the North, or were the one million in the North to be afforded even greater opportunities for intellectual unfoldment than those which they now enjoy to only a limited degree. --- IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND 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 standing, over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. Negroes are not worthy of civil rights; they are by nature not white and they have no "guts." The world respects only those who resent and resist prescriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guradian. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Cox to secure the three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed injury for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may be convicted of murder, not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, withholding an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynchened, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action possessed by the person killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against such recovery, is had to include it with the cost of litigation in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 62286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 62287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or abducted from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such prisoner to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6288. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) has several times upheld the law and it has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in Ohio's statutes) under the heading BBS. need. g. a representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. must member of mob. must another county. OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike 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 recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is constitutional and good law by the 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 outcyre for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. The Beacon-Journal had known what the judge had done, and there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER THE 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.

THE KU KLUX QUESTION And Disfranchisement Brought to ‘The Republican National Com- mittee—Both May Get A Hearing. Washington, D. C.—-Vigarons pro; tosts against reductions in southern delegates under the new plan were made, Monday, by a large delegation of Afro-Americans before a sub- committee of the Republican nation- a1 committee. It was charged that the loyal soythern members! of the race were dicfanchised in the par- ty's councils under the reapportion- ment, which was ordered by the 1920’ convention. So vigorous were the protests aga’nst the new reap- portionment that the sub-committee headed by Senator Howell, Nebras a, decided to yield to requests for a hearing on the subject before the full committee, Tuesday. Although those protesting were informed that it was too late to change the new basis, the sub-committee thought it would make for a better understand- ing, When the matter comes before the 1924 convention, to have the matter threshed out ‘before the en- ‘tire committee. ‘The Ku Klux Question. |,,J8 addition fo the reapportion- ment question, that of the Ku Klux ‘Klan was presented forcibly, Mon- day, by R. B. Creager, Tgxas com- mitieeman, who sent letters to al of the committee members urging them to take a vigorous stand against the Klan. “The Klan already controls the political machinery of more than one Democratic state," .sald_ Mr. Creager, who has been’ a White House guest for several days and has deen mentioned prominently in’ con- nection with the appointment: of an ambassador to Mexico. “It is reaching out for the controt ot other, and Republican states. Some of the Klan leaders boast of their aspirations for natignal pow- or? ao Mr. Creager gave notice that he would attempt to insert a plank in the 1924 platform condemning the Klan, but leaders said they did not believe the Issue would come now before the national committee's ses- sions PRESIDENT AND MRS.

Bascomb Slemp of “Virginyah, Seh!”, Had Anything to Do With It? Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—In his message to Congress, President Coolidge devotes a paragraph be- ginning: “Numbered among our popula- Yon are some 12,000,000 Colored people.” He goes on to say that “on ae- count of the migration of large numbers into industrial centers. It has been proposed that a commis- sion be created composed of mem- bers from both races to formulate @ better policy for mutual under- Standing and confidence. Such an ‘effort ix to be commended. But it is well to recognize that these difti- culties to a large extent are local problems which must be worked out by the mutual forbearance and ha- man kindness of each community.” Isn't there an echo of the old de- bate, Iasting for two generations be- fore our Civit War, regarding the so-called Negro question in Prest- dent Coolidge’s words? And doesn’t he, inadvertently perhaps, take the position of the sfaveholding south- eruere who resented the Idea that the question of human slavery war a national problem? The historic “state rights” position toward the Negro, which had to be settled by the sacrifice of hundreds of thou- sands of lives on the battlefields of the South. appears to be revived by the “expression “local problems” used by the President. His appar- ent attitude of mind in this matter, Indirect opposition to Abraham Lin- coln’s conviction that the Negro Problem of his day conld be solved only on the broad batle proposition that this nation could not endure half slave ond half free, is sure to antagonize, and rightly, all Americans who believe that’ the Matus of the Negro in our Ameri- can civilization must be deter mined from a national and sot a sectional standpoint.

Concerns about the commission are pointed by the president for four-year terms, the commission would study the many economic and social problems concerning Afro-Americans and would make recommendations to congress for their solution. President Coolidge in his message to congress suggested the creation of a commission composed of members of the Census for formulate a policy to mutual understanding and confidence. Philadelphia, Pa.—The state athletic commission, last week Thursday, refused to grant Jack Johnson, former world heavyweight champion, a boxer's license, but unanimously agreed that he could have a trainer's license. Johnson's age—45 years—was given by the commission as the principal objection to issuing him a permit for this state.

And the road you're treading seems all uphill. When the funds are low and the debts are high. And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must—but don't you quit. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man. Often the struggle has given up. When he might have captured the And he learned too late, when night slipped down. How close he was to the laureled crown. Success is failure turned inside out— The silver tint of the clouds of doubt— And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit— It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. Edward A. Guest.

Foxy Iowa Agriculturist Is Arrested in Chicago for Trimming Two Would-Be Soil Tillers Down on the farm at Cherokee, Iowa, Alexander Erlick read the city papers and found out all about the "toxy slickers" who lie in wait for the innocent farmer. Suddenly the Big idea struck Aleck, and all during that night he even smiled in his sleep. Next morning Aleck rubbed a little hayseed in his hair, put on his best pair of rawhide top boots, packed the old carpet-bag and went to Chicago to meet some affable stranger who would take him down to the lake front to see the German submarines come up for air. He met Thomas Pieske and Nicholas Kirchgessen in a saloon near the stockyards. He waited patiently, but they did not offer to sell him the Logan monument or the Masonic Temple, so he offered them jobs down on the farm. Hard work? Early rising? Oh no, indeed. That was in the old days, but not now. All the modern farm hand has to do is drive the automobile down to the general store for fresh eggs for breakfast, count the money left by the commission merchant on his daily visit and then dress up and take the neighbors' girls out riding. Aleck explained to the two city men. Pleske and Kirkgeson decided that "down with the cows and chickens" was the life for them, and each handed Aleck $10 for railroad fare to Cherokee and then went home to have their suits pressed and their shoes shined. When next they met Aleck he gave them the cold shoulder. "Don't know you fellers from a pair of Massawwag Indians," he is reported to have told them. They had him arrested as a "bunco man." "You ought to be ashamed of yourself," Police Captain Gorman told Erick. "When farmers come to town they are expected to let the city fellers' get their pocketbooks, but see what you have done. All the comic papers will have to go out of business right away." Score one for the farmer—also two for the city slickers. John Severson worked as a farm hand in North Dakota for twenty years and succeeded in saving enough money to buy a ticket back to his old home in Sweden. He arrived in Chicago on his way to New York to board a steamer. Two men stopped him in the Dearborn street depot and confided that they had a carlof of horses which they were shipping to the German army. They needed some money to pay the freight to New York. John lent them $50 for an hour or two. At nightfall he started back for North Dakota to work for another twenty years. Rudolph Kruger of Cleveland stood in the Grand Central depot holding a handkerchief. A policeman approached him with a broad smile on his face. "Two men told me I looked like a well-to-do," explained Rudolph, "and said they wanted me to hold their money, then—" "Enough," interrupted the policeman. "How much did you contribute?" "I placed $80 in the handkerchief here, if that is what you mean," replied Kruger. "See," he continued, opening the handkerchief, "they each put in $200 and—" TELLS WHY THERE ARE SIGHTS ON A RIFLE Without Them the Markaman Firing at Long Range Could Never Hit His Mark. The average person, if asked to explain why a rifle is sighted, would probably be unable to do so beyond some vague remark about taking correct aim. Sights are necessary because a bullet does not travel in a straight line, but under the influence of gravity and friction, begins to drop almost as soon as it leaves the muzzle. Thus the bullet of the army rifle drops six inches in the first 100 yards, but when it has gone 200 yards it will have dropped, not twelve inches, but two feet. The drop increases by leaps and bounds with the distance. Where there no sights on the rifle and you wanted to hit a mark at 200 yards, you would clearly have to aim two feet above it. This would be awkward, for you lose sight of the object aimed at, to say nothing of the difficulty of correctly estimating at a distance of two feet at 200 yards. The sights on a rifle enable you to keep your eye on the mark, although the muzzle of the rifle is actually pointing above it. The moving slide of the back-sight enables you automatically to point the muzzle just so many feet above the mark, aimed at as is necessary to counteract the down drop of the bullet at various ranges. NEW MACHINE FOR PAPER BOXES Pennsylvania Man's Device Is Fect and Saves Mueh Work Another labor-saving device has been added to the machinery used in the making of paper and pasteboard boxes. A new box-covering machine, invented by Harrison S. Gipe of Palmyra, Pa., has a capacity of five hundred of any former method known, to box makers. Another feature is that the new invention saves about 40 per cent of glue. An extra device places the string in hosiery boxes in the same operation in which the box is covered. This was formerly done by hand. MENTAL EQUALS! OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW Are the Northern Negro and Southern White. A Most Illuminating And Interesting Comparison Based On Facts And Figures Gathered By Government Army Officials And Others. (The Gazette has been granted special permission by Editor Alexander Marky of Pearson's Magazine, published at 301 Conkey Ave., Hammond, Ind., to republish the following exceptionally interesting copyrighted article, written by Herbert B. Alexander, which appeared in Pearson's for November, this year—Editor.) white population native born of native parentage (unaffected by the recent immigrations from South and Central Europe), rank lower in average intelligence per white than the mass of Negroes in any genuinely northern state? Why furthermore, should Mississippi with 96.3 per cent of her whites native born of native parentage Arkansas with 95.9 per cent and Kentucky with 91.9 per cent all show even less ability to learn. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DEC. 15, 1923. white population native born of native parentage ( unaffected by the recent immigrations from South and Central Europe), rank lower in average intelligence per white than the mass of Negroes in any genuinely northern state? Why, furthermore, should Mississippi, with 96.3 per cent of her whites native born of native parentage, Arkansas with 95.9 per cent and Kentucky with 91.9 per cent all show even less ability than North Carolina in answering the army inquiries, which is not difficult to ascertain why the northern Negro should receive so much grades in the army tests than his southern brother. Selective migration has played its part. The more imaginative, the more enterprising Negro has heeded the call of opportunity in the North. The environment of the northern Negro, moreover, is immeasurable more favorable, for the unfoldment of mental capacities than the rural surroundings of the southern black. In the North the Colored man partakes of the splendid schools, libraries, theaters, the multiple channels of communication of ideas, which characterize the urban life. In the South he is held "the place" in backward rural communities with the most wretched facilities for education and culture. However he may explain it, the fact stands forth plainly the unselected representations. The one million Negroes of the North were able to demonstrate to the world through the army intelligence tests of 1918 that they were capable of competing on a scale of intellectual equality with the twelve or fifteen millions of southern whites. We can only wonder of the reactions which might result were remaining nine millions of American Negroes to be given the same environmental conditions as their brethren in the North, or were the one million in the North to be afforded even greater opportunities for intellectual unfoldment than those which they now enjoy to only a limited degree. --- IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND 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 what special rights today. The Irish have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. Negroes are not worthy of citizenship, rights without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guradian. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by the mob. Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to inquire into the case of the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian.

Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob.

If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispense such mob. (693 161 11) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (693 v. 163 12.) has several times upheld the law and it has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894; The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike 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 recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is constitutional and good law by the our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akekace. Journal published an editorial to which the edition 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: Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which 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 OHIO IS UNDER NO REPRODUCTION in courts and juries, in administering it, not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours.
