THE GAZETTE Our whole theory of government in this country is founded upon toleration and freedom—freedom of the person, freedom of religion, freedom of action, freedom of political opinion. We are in no danger so long as we do not forget that and put it into practice. But on the other hand we are lost if we ever allow these great principles to be violated systematically. Indeed, in that direction lies group rule, which always ends in mob law and the downfall of a country. Just what the Ku Klux Klan is working toward.

Barlow, consulting engineer, who said he was banished from the Ku Klux Klan here for criticizing national officers, talked to members of the Lions club, last Friday, at Hotel Winton about the organization. He frequently referred to a small black-bound book, which he said was a copy of the Klan's secret constitution, and offered $100 to anyone who could prove it was not. "Members of the Klan swallow the constitution because they are not allowed to see it, and because it is camouflaged by a lofty and patriotic appeal," Mr. Barlow said. "He declared he is working for the interests of the Klan membership, and that his opposition is to Klan officials, not the original Klan ideals. Says It Outgrows Simmons "Says it Outgrew Simmons Joseph W. Simmons, an expreacher of Atlanta, conceived a lofty idea, and proceeded to put it into effect." Mr. Barlow said. "It grew beyond his ability to handle, and he called in help to promote the Klan. One of his new helpers offered him a fine house in Atlanta, the title of emperor for life, and $1,000 a month salary, while he was emperor. Simmons accepted and was kicked out of the Klan, thereby losing his $1000 a month." Mr. Barlow will ask a congressional investigation of the Klan within the next two weeks, he said. Statements from his speech are: "The Klan is under military rule of the most rigid and disciplined kind. The Imperial Wizard is empowered by the Klan constitution to make decrees or give orders on any subject not in the constitution. The penalty for disobedience is banishment. Banishment also awaits any friend who may appeal in his behalf. The Klan collected $2,000,000 in Ohio during the last year. The Klan is a non-partisan political organization. It is not composed of a bunch of dubs, but of intelligent and well meaning citizens from every walk of life—lawyers, mechanics, doctors, clerks, business men and others. Its members are not in politics, but its officers are. The 3,000,000 voters now in the Klan hold a balance of political power. We have the farm bloc in congress and a Klan bloc is forming." In answer to a question asked after the talk Mr. Barlow said: "I believe in the Klan tenets as expressed on the card which is shown to prospective members, but I do not believe in the constitution which they swear, blindfolded, to support. Mr. Barlow said he was invited to join the Klan while on a trip to Atlanta in connection with the machinery which he devised for carving the huge memorial on the side of Stone mountain, under the direction of the sculptor, Gutzon Borglum. He took the Klan oath of membership in a room of a Cleveland hotel, he said, but was not allowed at that time to see a copy of the constitution. Doings Of The Race The Lincoln league will meet in Chicago during the week of Lincoln's birthday. Idlewild hotel, Chicago, has been sold. The race loaes an important business enterprise. The Alph.

New York, Jan. 9.—As bait to induce Harry Wills to fight for him. Tex Rickard, it is learned through reliable sources today, sent a go-between to Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, offering to sign Wills for bouts with Firpo and Dempsey if Harry first will meet George Godfrey in Madison Square Garden. Perhaps Mullins will reverse his decision not to transact boxing business of any kind with Rickard, who he knows, more than any other man, is responsible for Wills being deprived of a match with Dempsey, to which he long has been entitled. Paddy does not forget what happened at the Harry Wills-Clem Johnson bout in the Garden, a few weeks ago, and how Wills was scarcely permitted to use a body punch after the first round and had to beat Johnson down by hammering him on the head. Fans figure it will be just as easy to disqualify Wills on an alleged foul as ever. Before next summer Dempsey is almost certain to be forced into a match with Wills. It by no means is certain that Firpo will come back here to be butchered by Dempsey or that the affair will be permitted if the Argentine does come back. Wills-Godfrey Bout. Maybe Wills-Godfrey Bout, Maybe New York City—Promoter Tex Rickard will have a bout between Harry Wills of New Orleans, now located here, challenger of Champ Jack Dempsey, and George Godfrey, Philadelphia heavyweight, as an attraction at Madison Square Garden before the expiration of the current indoor season, if his present plans materialize. Rickard announces that he will continue his efforts to arrange the bout as part of an elimination tournament for ambitious heavyweights who aspire to Dempsey's title. This plan is to match Wills and Godfrey, with the understanding that the winner is to meet Luls Angel Firpo in a bout during the next outdoor season. A bout against Dempsey would be the incentive for the winner of the clash against Firpo. It is Rickard's theory that it would, be better to have Dempsey box the best of the challengers, rather than have the title holder engage in bouts against two rivals for the title. Klux Editor Given Life Sentence Atlanta, Ga.—Phillip E. Fox, editor of the Ku Klux organ, "The Knighthawk." who shot and killed Col. W. S.

The Elks are launching this enterprise as the beginning of their drive for funds for their new home and judging from the enthusiasm shown, thus far in this affair, they do not intend to let until they have moved into a new home. The Gray's Armory has been secured and all preparations are being made for taking care of large crowds, every night. The entertainment will be a regular three-ring circus of the type that are seen in the summer-time under the big tents.

HE LEADING Newspaper of The th What the Leading Democratic North and South k of It. United States, in commenting upon the conference of the Democratic leaders, says: "The Mellon plan for tax reduction was the subject of a conference of Democrats in Washington yesterday. Chairman Cordell Hull indicated it was discussed from a political point of view. It would be highly gratifying if some of the members of Congress should discuss the matter from the taxpayer's point of view, but that is too much to expect." In a subsequent issue, the Baltimore Sun calls upon the Democrats to join hands "with the leaders of the dominant faction of the Republican party" to accomplish federal tax reform, which is "what the country longs for and expects." The New York Times devotes a leading editorial to the attitude of the Democratic leaders, mentioning Cordell Hull and the Democratic national committee in particular, and warning them they are on the way to a fall. It then says: "Mr. Mellon proposes to reduce taxation to feed and vitalize business, to lower the cost of living which pays the taxes in the end. Wise Democratic leaders see the value of the plan, the popular response to it, the folly of any partisan juggling with it or sophistication of it or attempt to defeat it by complicity by congressmen who are neither Democrats nor Republicans, whatever they call themselves. It rests with the Democrats either to co-operate in policies of national advantage, neither Democratic nor Republican, or else to help the enemy, to heel meekly after the incurable wrong-head and infallible loser, Mr. Bryan." The Louisville Courier-Journal easily the leading Democratic paper of the Ohio valley, characterizes the political leaders engaged in the campaign against the tax reduction as "crazy horses," and adds that "it is unbelievable that a majority of Democrats in Congress can be stamped into any such folly." The Brooklyn Eagle and the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Atlanta Constitution, the leading Democratic paper of the South, warn the Democrats that they can do no better work than to co-operate in the enactment of the Mellon tax plan. There is not the least doubt that the demagogic action of the Democratic leaders in the House will result in a challenge of their right to continue in leadership of the Democratic party. If it is decided, after a contest, that they are in the majority, there is not much doubt that the conservative Democrats will refuse longer to associate with the party as it is now organized and controlled. test to be conducted among the ladies. At present writing there are twenty entrants in this contest and about the same number of nominees who have not yet officially entered.

Some very beautiful prizes will be awarded in this contest.

CLEVELAND, JAN. 12, 1924 Fred Keats, (white), authority on boxing for the sport departments of the N. Y. Sun and Globe, says: "Jack Dempsey fears Harry Wills." There is more truth than poetry in that short statement. --- The English subsidized American propagandists of the League of Nations are overdoing it. The Bok peace plan is an illustration or rather the latest exemplification of this fact. One of Ohio's seven Republican delegates-at-large to the Republican National convention, to meet in this city in June, must be an Afro-American and it is just as well that this be acknowledged now by state party leaders as later on. No loyal Afro-American voter in Ohio should fail to sign the delegate-at-large petitions being circulated by the Abraham Lincoln Republican club of Dayton. It is a duty you owe those of the race in this state, to do so. Let us all sign them. So many of our men and women were shot or cut almost to death, in addition to those killed, in wards 11 and 12 of this city, during the holidays, it was necessary for Charity hospital to employ extra nurses to care for them. Conditions in that section of the city are indeed deplorable and still our ministers there refuse to act. --- There will be about three thousand Afro-Americans, including delegates and alternates, who will come to Cleveland in June to attend the Republican National Convention. They must be properly treated in public places and cared for while in this city. What is being done, looking to this end, Col. Carmi A. Thompson, chairman of the committee of arrangements? ---||||--- The Ku Klux Klan is apparently hopelessly split. The male and female sections of the lawless organization are each divided into hostile factions that are fighting each other in and out of the courts. Good! May it continue until the miserable organization is dead beyond resurrection, for it is a menace to the government as well as to a religious organization, two racial groups and naturalized Americans. Brutal and barbaric as is prize-fighting, even worse is the treatment of Harry Wills, because of his color and race, by prejudiced fight promoters and their kidney, friends of Champion Jack Dempsey. But even they can be overcome and it begins to look as if this will be the case before the year is out. Wills is not only the logical contender but also the only one, and should long ago have been given a chance at the championship. Slowly but surely, we repeat, public opinion is forcing such a contest. IMPRACTICAL THEORISTS Too much enthusiasm usually gets away with the judgment of even the most intelligent men. For instance, recently an eminent publicist declared that every boy should have a college education. The boys who now receive college educations are among the most intellectual, and it takes them until they are 21 or more before they get through college. Then it takes four years more to study for a profession, learn a trade, or prepare for any other occupation except unskilled labor, and a boy who has been 21 years in school is hardly fit for hard labor. Those boys who are dull in their studies would take until they are 25 to 30 years of age to get through college, and some of them would take longer than that. In the meantime, while "every boy" is getting his college education, there would be a dearth of mechanics, of farmers of skilled artisans, of common laborers. All of which shows how foolish an intelligent man can be when he lets his enthusiasm lead him to declare that "every boy should have a college education." PRIME SPORT NEWS Kluxers Lose Their Appeal. Washington, D. C.—The appeal of the Evans faction of the Ku Klux Klan in its suit to restrain the publication of certain papers alleged to have been stolen from klan headquaters in Atlanta was denied, Monday, by the U. S. supreme court. Noting But Petty Meanness Cincinnati, O.-The Cincinnati boxing commission has decided that Battling Siki, the Senegalese., cannot box here unless he has been reinstated by other commissions which have barred him. Local fight promoters have been endeavoring to arrange a match for Siki here. Siki-Hawkins Bout Banned. Detroit, Mich.—Lewis W. Ples, state boxing commissioner, refused to permit the scheduled match between Battling Siki and Cleve Hawkins, veteran Afro-American boxer, because he does not regard Hawkins as a suitable opponent for the Senegalese. Tut Jackson Wins on Foul. Columbus, O.—Tut Jackson, of Washington C. H., was declared winner over Jack Taylor of Omaha, when the judges ruled Jackson was the victim of a low blow in the sixth round of a scheduled twelve-round bout here. Monday evening, Taylor was leading by a comfortable margin up to the sixth. They are heavy weights. Sfki "Kayos" Stabenau Buffalo, N. Y. —Battling Siki knocked out Tony Stabenau (white), local heavyweight champion, in the second round of a scheduled ten-round bout here, Monday night. Stabenau was down for the fourth time in his second round. The knockout came in the first minute of the second round. Wille Madden Rent Postponed. New York City — The city around bout in Harry Wills, leading heavyweight title contender, and Bartley Madden (white), of this city, scheduled for the First regiment armory, Newark, N. J., has been postponed from Jan. 28 to Feb. 4. Wills had signed to fight Jack Taylor of Omaha at Hartford, Conn., on Jan. 25 and the change was made to give him additional time to prepare for Madden, the first white opponent of prominence Willis has been matched with since 1921. "Battling Skii Is No Roaring Lion." The head-line above and what follows this sentence is from the sport news in Cleveland's leading daily newspaper, of Monday, and is very amusing after the columns of not about Battling Skii every daily newspaper in the country has carried since his defeat of Georges Carpentier which made him (Skii) light heavyweight champion of the world: "Battling Siki, the pearl of Senegal, who has kept fistiana from a state of boredom all the way from Paris to Grand Rapids for the last two years, darkened the doorway of Mose Cleaveland and paid his respects, last night. "Wooff Ugh!" said the conqueror of Georges Carpentier, and held forth the right hand of comradeship. Siki likes to make friends; he understands it's part of the business and enjoys it. The eminent battler had little to say. He hasn't been in this country long enough to absorb English, though his manager, Robert Levy, who had him in tow, claims that he understands nine languages. After tales of Siki's caprices, the swarthy man with the tame creature. In fact, Levy declared that most of the stories of his protege's hilarity were considerably overdone. Levy and Siki were on their way to Buffalo. The latter is to appear in an exhibition bout in East Chicago, Jan. 10 and hopes to tackle Battling Kavanaugh at Peoria, Jan. 19." THE MAN WHO DARES "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.

MOUNT RAINIER IS FROZEN OCTOPUS MORE THAN TWENTY MIGHTY GLACIERS REACH THEIR ARMS DOWNWARD Between Glaciers are Wonderful Growths of Wild Flowers A frozen octopus of enormous bulk whose glittering armored body rises three miles into the sky, with twenty or more huge wrinkled arms reaching down among thousands of acres of the most gorgeous and luxuriant wild flowers, to squirt, from each finger tip, a river of ice water into the valley below. Surely quotation from the Arabian Nights! Or a ghost tale to frighten children on Halloween! But no, however, figurative this is a true statement of an actual fact. There really exists such an ice armored octopus in these United States. It is a justifiable description of the most interesting mountain in Uncle Sam's dominions, and perhaps in the world. Mount Rainier is in the state of Washington, fifty-six miles southwest of Tacoma. It is one of that celebrated range of volcanoes which were supposed to be extinct until, within the year, Lassen Peak broke forth again. Rainier, though supporting one of the most remarkable single peak glacial systems in the world, emits steam from certain crevices, evidence of continued internal heat. Seen from Tacoma or Seattle the vast mountain appear to rise directly from sea level, so insignificant seem the ridges about its base. Yet these ridges themselves are of no mean height. They rise 3,000 to 4,000 feet above the valleys that cut through them, and their crests average 6,000 feet in altitude. Thus at the southwest entrance to the Mount Rainier National Park, which congress created to protect this natural marvel from private encroachment, the elevation above sea level is 2,000 feet, while Goat Mountain, close by rises to an altitude of 6,045 feet. But so collosal are the proportions of the great volcano that they dwarf even mountains of this size and give them the appearance of mere footbills. In height Rainier is second in the United States only to Mount Whitney. Mount Rainier stands in round numbers 10,000 feet high above its immediate base and covers 100 square miles of territory. In shape it is not a simple cone tapering to a slender, pointed summit like Fujiyama, the great volcano of Japan. It is rather a broadly truncated mass resembling an enormous tree stump with spreading base and irregular broken top. Its life history has been a varied one. Like all volcanoes, Rainier has built up its cone with the materials ejected by its own eruptions—with cinders and steam shredded particles and lumps of lava and with occasional flows of liquid lava that have solidified into layers of hard basaltic rock. At one time it attained an altitude of not less than 16,000 feet, if one may judge by the steep inclination of the lava and cinder layers visible in its flanks. Then followed a great explosion that destroyed the top part of the mountain and reduced its height by some 2,000 feet. The volcano was left beheaded, with a send birth date LIVE LONG Feel 10 to 30 Years Younger capacious hollow crater surrounde by a jagged rim. Later on this great cavity which measured nearly three miles across from south to north, was filled by two smaller cinder cones. Successive feeble eruptions added to their height until at last they formed together a low rounded dome—the eminence that now constitutes the mountain's summit. The higher portions of the old crater rim rise to elevations within a few hundred feet of the summit and especially when viewed from below, stand out boldly as separate peaks that mask and seem to over- shadow the central dome. INTERESTING NEW INVENTIONS Doorknob Connected With Electric A door knob connected with an electric lamp that may be switched on by pressing a button has been patented by a New York inventor. The invention is expected to help materially in the sometimes difficult process of finding the key hole after dark. The door knob is illuminated. The same principle is applied to the doors and dials of safes. A cattle guard invention by an Arkansas man, a section foreman, has been approved by railroads. It is made in three sections, so that it can be removed for track surfacing. The guard consists of rollers, which are made in a frame, resting on top of the ties. BABY'S NOSE BUTTONED Stops Bleeding After Doctors Work Two Hours. Physicians at the Mount I Sinal hospital worked two hours the other night trying to stop the flow of blood from 4-year-old Louis Cutler's nose before they found a small shoe button which the child shoved up its nose a week ago. The boy's mother had used home remedies all day in a vain attempt to stop the nose bleed. Finally she took Louis from their home, 1734 S. 7th st., to the hospital. The physicians were puzzled after using all ordinary methods for stopping nose bleed. While using an instrument to swab out the nose, Dr. G. W. Berhart touched something hard. When he finally got the object out of the upper nasal cavity he found it was a shoe button. The nose stopped bleeding as soon as the button was removed—Philadelphia North American. ELECTRIC CANDY DEVICE New Machine can Turn out 100 Wafers a Minute. A hundred sugar wafers a minute are turned out without being touched by the hands of the attendant by a new candy making machine that is operated throughout by electricity. The process of making a batch of the wafers begins with the pouring of fifteen pounds of granulated sugar, mixed with a quart of water, in a reservoir at the end of the machine. The mixture drops into a kettle where it is thoroughly boiled by electric heating coils, and an electric gong rings when the boiling has continued the required length of time. With the pulling of a lever the creamy mass is pumped into mixing kettles where it is stirred by electrically operated paddles. At this point the color and flavoring are added by the attendant—Popular Mechanics. Are You Reaching for the Truth? Jwill tell you Under which Zodiac Sign were you born?

Some time ago, discussing industrial conditions in the United States, Lloyd George predicted that there would be an abandonment of the protective tariff after the next election and that in about a year hence there would be the beginning of a period of about four years of industrial depression. These two predictions were made in the same address, but, of course, not in connection with each other. The conclusion is obvious, however, that if the next election is to bring abandonment of protection and then we are to have four years of hard times, the latter will be the consequence of the former. Such would inevitably be the course of events. If we have an abandonment of protection, we will be in far larger proportion in foreign markets to the neglect of our own factories. If we pay foreign labor for producing the commodities we need, we must cease in corresponding degree to buy the products of American labor. If we send our money abroad, we shall have less to spend at home. Every idle man will mean one less buyer of American goods. Activity grows upon itself, as also does inactivity. Every active man adds momentum to our industry and makes our obstruction. When we adopt the free trade plan we shall make foreign industries active and curtail or close our own. A new state law, which makes a vender of poison liquor guilty of murder in the second degree if his customer dies, was employed for the first time in Cleveland Monday, when a murder charge was lodged against Mrs. Anna Gentile, age 28, 2653 E. 31st St. Mrs. Gentile was arrested at her home after James Carl, 2363 Broadway, had told police he and Madie Jones, age 32, had purchased a bottle of liquor from Mrs. Gentile, Saturday night. The Jones woman died a few hours later in Charity hospital, after taking four drinks of the liquor, according to Carl. An autopsy by Coroner Hammond revealed that she had died of alcohol poisoning. Mrs. Gentile denied to police that she ever had had any liquor in her home, or that she ever had been drinking. No liquor was found in her home, police said. She is a widow, her husband having died, last spring. Her four children May, 11, Raymond, 8, Rose, 6, and Congrata, 5, were cared for, Monday night, by neighbors. Carl is held as a witness, Central, Scovill and Woodland Ave's, and the streets between E. 52th and E. 9th Sts. are "lousy" with "hootch" joints.

KLUXERS MENACE TO U.S. Clarke, Former Klan Head, Denounces Organization & Urges President to Stamp It Out! Coolidge Thanks Him for Letter—Kluxers Strong in Ohio—Congress Asked to Probe the Klan—Posing as Prohibition Agents—Klan Trial, Jan. 15 Barlow a Fighter Barlow, a Fighter. Washington, D. C.—The Ku Klux Klan as a national issue was brought dramatically into the open, last week Thursday, and laid on the doorstep of the White House. In a letter to President Coolidge, Edward Young Clarke, imperial giant and former organization head of the klan, declared the thing he was instrumental in founding has degenerated into "a cheap mechanical machine" that is "brazenly superceding the authority of American courts," and he concluded his letter with an appeal to the President to take the lead in a national effort to stamp out "hooded terrorism" or else force the klan to disband. Clarke's letter created a sensation in the capital. In it he savagely assailed the existing klan, its present policies and the acts of its offenders, and it follows: "To the President "Sir: As the man most largely responsible for the building of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and having recently been confronted with indisputable information and evidence showing the prostitution of the ideals and principles and purposes of the klan and also facts relating to the steady withdrawal by the clan to the liberty of addressing this communication to you, the supreme head of our government, to tender you any assistance in my power to end the activities of an element of our citizenship which has crept into the organization and is apparently in control thereof, and making the klan as now operated a real menace to law enforcement and rights authorities and democratic political government. "I have received from widely separated sections of the country direct and authoritative information that the klan is rapidly developing nationally as a cheap political machine, a regulatory law and order league, and, in sections where it is strongest, brazenly and openly surpassing the authority of the courts and, through character assassination, intimidation and actual violence, to can citizens of their constitutional rights without due process of law or trial before a jury of their peers. "The positive and indisputable information which has come to me as to the gradual degradation and despoilment of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan * * * * is a severe shock to me, and, while I am perfectly willing to assume the moral responsibility which is rightly mine as having been drawn up by the building up of the klan, in justice to myself and the hundreds of thousands of high-grade men who have been drawn into the klan because of its declaration of its ideals and principles I cannot and will not rest passive and silent and sit idly by in the face of such conditions and thus allow to fall on my shoulders the blame for the crimes of justice in the library and the courts and the government resulting from the rape of the organization which has taken place in the past year or eighteen months' time." Clarke declared the founders of the klan never intended it should become a law and order league or a political machine, "but rather it was to be an organization designed to upbuild and develop spirituality, morality, and present the white men of America." The process by which this was to have been accomplished, he said, was educational propaganda. "Now," he continued, "the thing which alarms me most, "is the apparent trend of thought inside the organization and the tendency of the membership to seek to assume local state and national political dictatorship. And in my judgment when any powerful secret organization is closer to the attitudes it immediately becomes a real menace to free government." Clarke then quoted from numerous of his speeches, at Reading, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to show he has always stood for law and order and declared that as imperial wizard he had threatened to revoke all the charters in one state (Texas) and abolished barades in another state (Oklahoma) because he considered them "against public morals." "In the face of this condition"—the letter continued—"I can do no less than tender you any assistance in my power toward forcing the lawless element out of the klan, thus permitting it to function as intended as a high-tone character-building, active fraternal organization, being responsible toward stamping the maneuver which the klan has become through the prostitution of its high purposes, ideals and principles by those who are either undesirous or incapable of controlling the situation from the inside of the klan. "I purpose to immediately issue a proclamation to klsmen calling the better element of the klan to take heed of the situation and recognize its seriousness and to either take hold and remedy existing evils and remove from the nation the menacing aspect of the klan or else meet Lorain Klansmen Abandon 'Empire' Give Out Text of Resolution Denouncing National and State Domination. Lorain, O., Dec. 31.—Protesting the conduct of affairs of the Ku Klux Klan here and opposing the executive powers of the imperial wizard and state officials, 200 members of the Lorain Klan today disclosed a resolution, severing, rela- in national assemblage and disband the organization. "Most respectfully yours, "Edward Young Clarke, "Imperial Giant, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." Documents Sensational. Documents Sensational. Besides the letter, Clarke submitted to the President a mass of documentary evidence to support his argument that the organization of the klan has violated laws, that it has "deprived citizens of their constitutional rights" and that it "has encouraged physical violence and intimidation of citizens." The promise of still further documents of a highly sensational character, bearing on the history of the klan in Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana was said to have been given the President as well. In a statement, to the local daily newspapers, late last week at lunch afternoon, amplify-ing that he asserted the klan is now divided into two hostile factions and that blood-shed is imminent. "The far-famed mountain feuds of Kentucky are playthings in comparison to the bitterness and hatred now existing between the two factions," he said, "and bloodshed is as certain to come as night follows day." Good men in the klan fear to oppose either faction, because they will be exposed and slandered. In some places members of the judiciary are being practically blackmilled into becoming members of the organization through fear of political destruction. Legislators, senators and congressmen are being whipped into line in the same manner. "Although growing rapidly, the klan is strongest in two sections of Texas, the country—the belt including Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas, and that including Indiana, Ohio and parts of Illinois and Michigan, the klan is less lawlessness directly attributable to the klan is almost beyond belief. In the second belt there has been less lawlessness, but the organization is becoming a master political machine, holding its power not only through the church, but by intimidation, by character assassination and bodily violence." Coolidge Replies to Clarke. Last week Friday, President Coolidge sent Edward Young Clarke, imperial giant and former wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, a letter of acknowledgment and thanks for his offer to co-operate with federal authorities in "cleaning house" in the klan. The President's letter was not made public. It is understood, however, the President did not comment on the grave charges against the klan, nor indicate what action, if any, would be taken by federal authorities. The Klan Rotten in Ohio. Clarke added to his charges, the same day. He declared that the klan in Ohio is composed of lawless elements masquerading as supporters of law enforcement, and said: "I know that Ku Klux Klan organization workers have imposed on the state and federal prohibition authorities by obtaining commissions as special agents for the sole purpose of being able to carry guns with immunity," he said. "I have reliable information that more than 150 such commissions recently were issued at one time from the state prohibition headquarters. The absurdity of it is that the majority of those obtaining these commissions are habitual users of liquor and instead of helping to enforce the prohibition laws are only making prohibition a force. We severed his connection with those now in control of the klan, a year ago, and since has been devoting his energies to exposing them and smashing their organization. He has offered the President his full co-operation in running down and prosecuting those whom he charges with responsibility for the klan's alleged prostitution of the principles on which he founded it four years ago. Cleveland, O—Lester P. Barlow, one of the many ousted members of the Cuyahoga county Ku Klux Klan, announced, last week Friday, that he would go before Congress, this week, with a plea that an investigation of the order be launched at once. Barlow will take before the day of the order a secret constitution which he declares is filled with "sedition and treason." He was accompanied to Washington by his New York attorneys. Barlow was "banished" from the local klan when he launched an attack against national officers in a meeting held here. Shortly after his "banishment" a big split in the ranks of the local organization came to light. Ku Klux Klan Trial Opens Jan. 15. Little Rock, Ark.—The trial of the $150,000 libel suit of Dr. H. W. Evans, imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, against William Joseph Simmons, emperor of the klan, has been set for January 15. The trial has been postponed several times. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JAN. 12, 1924. tions with the state and national headquarters of the invisible empire. The resolution was signed by E. J. Sherman, president and Vernon E. Queer, secretary. "An immediate accounting of national, state and local headquarters to determine what has been done with the money secured through membership in this board is demanded. Criticizing the local administration of the Klan's affairs, the resolution states in part: OHIO'S ANTI-LY LEADS THE COUNTY LEGISLA Against The Mob and Lynch "We have been * * * * denied the right to see or to use the kloran of the order; we have been denied knowledge of the governing laws of the order; we have been denied the use of official applications and receipts, making it impossible for us to establish even personal identity as a member of this organization, being denied said official receipts and due cards. We do not wish to be ruled and dominated by an unknown character called kleagle, who attempts to preside of our meetings, giving the butt of a revolver as gave gates unto himself * * * * authority to banish any member who dates * * * * oppose this domination; who deprives us of the right to vote on membership and denied us the right to have voice in the affairs of our own local organization.

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 and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. --- OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours. George W. Blount. RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." 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.

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. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has 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 any person, 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 recover, as hereafter provided, a sum of 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, share and shareake the widow, widowage and shareake the widow'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 lynched, 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 as one purposely injured or killed by such a 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 include it with the costs of action. In such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal person. A person or seriously injured by a mob 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, of 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 falling to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: **BBS.** ed. g. 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. such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) 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, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable allike to all citizens and regardless of race accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be finet 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 the fine. Sec. 12942. Whoever not 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 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. My Dear Sir: Shrimping your letter, to the Editor of the New York 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 a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known that going on in its own town, there would be no need for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. 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 attending, and they are 70 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts'." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.)
