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.

Interest in the Elks' circus, which is to be held during the week of Feb. 4th, has become so great that it has been found necessary to engage longer accommodations for the affair. Gray's armory was first secured but after two weeks of ticket-selling, and before any advertising has been posted regarding the affair, the interest is such that it was decided to secure a larger building, the Judd auditorium, located at E. 46th Street and Euclid Avenue, a FRESH OH WRITTEN BY "THE GAZETTE'S" What Our People Are Doing Personal, Social, Lodge, Marriages, D CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication on their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write also, their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies.

By the time this issue of "The Old Reliable" Gazette reaches our readers, the flashy posters advertising the Elks' circus will no doubt be making their appearance throughout the city. The popularity contest, being conducted in connection with the circus, is becoming a rather heated affair and promises to be one of the big features of the week. The first count is to be made, this week Friday evening, and the standing will be posted. Among those who have taken the largest number of ballots from the office are: Mrs. Bessie Carter, Miss Engene Lockett, Miss Hazel Davidson, Miss Dorothy Lipscoube, Mrs. Camille Ross and Mrs. Creala Lotter.

The Emperor and Imperial Wizard Now At "Swords' Points"—Clarke's Letter to President Coolidge "Spills the K. K. K. Beans"—A Real Fight Now On. Atlanta, G. a—William, Joseph Slimmons, founder, and emperor of the Ku Klux Klan, and Edward Young Clarke, at one time acting imperial wizard of the organization. have been banished from the Klan for their active opposition to the regime headed by Dr. H. W. Evans, imperial wizard. Clarke declared in a statement he was not surprised at the development, asserting that "the attempt, was made because Evans and his associates are desperate and realize it is only for a short-time they will be able to hold the reins of the organization and trample in the dust all the foundation principles and ideals of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." He declared that neither Dr. Evans, the imperial klonellium, nor the body of dragons has a legal right to banish him or Emperor Slimmons, and asserted that the "real reason for the attempted banishment" was an effort to stop the gathering of Klansmen at the national congress called to meet in Atlanta, Feb. 26. not make them public, declaring that they were in the hands of his attorney. The order, it is understood charged him with "actively attempting to disrupt the organization" and "allying himself with enemies of the order and bringing it into disrepute." The banishment, it was stated, was a counter movement on the part of Dr. Evans and his administration to the fight waged against him by the Slimmons faction, which reached a elimax recently when Mr. Clarke directed a letter to President Coolidge, asking that steps be taken to reform a certain "element" in the organization or that it be disbanded. It is understood that it was charged that Mr. Clarke's letter to the president "constitutes treason" in that it was "an attempt to disband and break up the order, and bring it into disrepute." Members of the Slimmons faction said that the imperial headquarters of the Klan had been moved from here to Washington. This was denied by imperial officials here and Asserts He Will "Appeal" The Klan officials said he would make a "regular formal appeal against the banishment through the regular courts of the order and then to civil courts, if it becomes necessary." Emperor Simmons is expected to issue a statement which it is believed will be along the same lines as that given out by his fellow official. Officials at the imperial palace declined to comment on the reported expulsion, but confirmation of the reports here came from persons closely associated with Dr. Evans. It was stated that the banishment was made after grand dragons, representing the Klan in every state in the Union had met in Washington, two days ago, and signed charges against the two officials. A copy of these charges is in the hands of Mr. Clarke. The accusations are said to be lengthy, but the former acting imperial wizard would ORGANIZATIONS CO-OPERATE! The Cleveland Branch of the N. A.

We hope all organizations which have not received the letter will consider the copy of the letter which follows as being addressed to them and act accordingly: The Letter To All!

To see that this is done is the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

This was denied by imperial officials here and those representing the order in the nation's capital. Washington, D. C.—H. C. McCall, imperial representative of the Ku Klux Klan in Washington, confirmed the report that William J. Simmons, imperial emperor and Edward Young Clarke, imperial giant, had been expelled from the order, but denied that the Klan had moved headquarters from Atlanta to Washington. McCall said the action was taken here two days ago at a meeting of the imperial officers headed by Hiram W. Evans, imperial wizard. He declined to divulge the charges against the two men. Evans, he said, had been in Washington for several days but would leave at once for Atlanta. McCall at first denied the report of the expulsions and then confirmed it. He refused to amplify his statement. The N. E. R. League Asked to Keep Up the Fight—Still Working Boston, Mass. --- The following telegram is self explanatory: Washington: D. C., Jan. 10, '24. U. S.

It is known as the Dyer anti-lynching bill. A motion was also passed, directing the chairman of the committee to ask the committee on rules to make this projected legislation a bill to be taken up in the House at an early date. Before taking the above action the committee voted not to have any public hearing. I will be glad to have the continued splendid assistance of your organization until the legislation is written into law. (Signed) L. C. Dyer. Monroe Mason, publicity director of the National Equal Rights league and representing its national headquarters, was present at the judicial committee of the House with local national officers, prepared to argue for the Dyer bill, until the committee voted against having public hearings. Rep. Dyer appreciated the presence of the delegation and asked the league to coerce its assistance.

It will save you a great deal of trouble and help materially in promoting this city's interests that center in the Republican national convention which is to be held here in June.

An admirer of Ex-President Thomas Woodrow Wilson has taken several columns of the Congressional Record to give a review of Wilson's activities in Europe during the peace treaty conference. There is one feature of his course which alone condemns him in the public mind. He overturned all precedent and undertook to make the American representation not merely a one-party but a one-man representation. His many other mistakes were the natural result of this. This country and its interests are too big to be conducted or represented by one man. President Wilson should have stayed in Washington and sent to Paris a delegation of able men of both parties who would keep in communication with him and thus accomplish practical results. READY TO AID. The United States has always stood ready to aid human welfare through international conferences, whether it was the League of Nations or some other influence that arrange them. But its attitude toward those meetings has always been one of independence, wholly free from coercion by the League. We have kept scrupulously clear of conferences called for a political purpose, such as those at Genoa, Lausanne, and Brussels, although they were all supported by the League. The attempt of the Bok peace plan to throw the United States more or less under the domination of the Geneva association cannot but hamper the policy which this country has followed in international affairs. MEAT OR CROW? The European laborer who gets meat twice a week thinks the winter of his discontent has been made glorious summer. The American laborer eats meat at least once a day, more often twice, despite the price. According to figures published by the Institute of American Meat Packers meat production during the year just closed was the greatest in the history of the nation and wholesale meat prices have been the lowest of a decade, "in many instances being below the levels which prevailed ten years ago at this time." The Institute declares: "Not in years have meats been selling at such low levels in the wholesale markets. Declines from peak prices range from 20 to more than 70 per cent." The production of meat for the year exceeded that of 1922 by one and one-half billion pounds, and 1922 broke all records up to that time. Moral: Vote Republican and eat meat. Vote Democratic and eat crow. --- "THE SHADOW AND THE SUBSTANCE." The fact that President and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, Sunday after attending church, called on Arthur Brooks, his Afro-American "valet," who has been quite ill for some time, was made much of, Monday, by the daily newspapers of the country, Mr. Brooks had been a government employee (messenger) for many years before President Wm. Howard Taft took him to the White House from the departments at Washington, D.C. Why all that daily newspaper "admiration" as a result of the President and Mrs. Coolidge's call? Politics, pure and simple! There is absolutely nothing in the call of the President and his wife to rave over, as the aforementioned newspapers did, the first of the week. It is only a political "shadow," and like the letter of condolence and flowers sent to the widow of Phil H. Brown, a government employee at the time of his recent death, will not be accepted by our intelligent people of the North, to say the least, for the substance — substantial recognition at the hands of the administration.

At 2167 E. 4th St., not far from Prospect Ave., Mr. Sam Feld is conducting a grand opening sale of household furniture to which The Gazette wishes to direct its readers' attention particularly, Mr. Feld is courteous, obliging and gentlemanly at all times. What is even more interesting is the fact that he is selling the best furniture at half price, and that you will not find elsewhere in this city at this time. He solicits small as well as large purchases, and has three-piece living suits that are most attractive and servicable. This is his "special." By all means go in and look over his large stock of household furniture—Ady. Here is some more wards 11-12 "news" of the regular weekly (almost daily) kind: Three policemen battled fifteen minutes, early Sunday, with a powerful Negro, whom one of them had shot twice, before they subdued him. He is in a serious condition at Charity hospital with bullet wounds in his side and back. Under the "infononce" of Central Ave. "hoocht" and carrying the name of Larce Tuck, 2552 E. 400t St. he was charged with burglary and larceny and with robbery. He was by Palmieri Frank Korynta. The latter had knocked two ground after the suspect, who is a giant in size, had knocked him down when he attempted to arrest him. Both bullets fired by Korynta took effect, but the man fled. He was found two hours later in a house on E. 43rd St. He had forced the residents to give him refuge. Korynta said he fired at the man in front of an E. 39th St. house, which he was known to know. Police had been watching for him since the robbery of Charles Greenburg, near his home, at 2812 E. 55th St., last week Friday. Receiving word, two hours later, that the wounded man was in the house on E. 43rd St. Korynta said Sergt. John Tozzer and Enil Smolow reported in spite of his wounds, the policemen said, the fugitive battled all three. The room was wrecked before he was subdued, Korynta said. Police reported the same man, on Jan. 8 escaped from Nathan Obriskley and Charles Cartasek, plain-clothes men. He was shot through one wrist as he fled, they said. He was sought in the burglary of Nathan Rosenzwig's store at 4003 Woodland Ave. Jan. 8. Steve Henry, 2557 E. 39th St., was charged with robbery also. 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 Tory leader contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature 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.) Guardian. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JAN. 19. 1824. DO YOU KNOW WHY?

WHAT'S BEEN DONE IN ONE DECADE INVENTIONS THAT HAVE REVO LUTIONIZED THE WORLD HERE RECORDED. Progress Has Been Rapid Since Engine Was Invented. The most significant event in the annals of human achievement was the invention of the steam engine. Its introduction divided recorded time into two distinctly defined eras, and it may well be said that the entire history of man's material endeavors counts forward or backward from that comparatively recent event. As soon after this event as distracted civilization could be released from the stifling bondage of incessant warfare, the problem of applying this mighty energy to the needs of man began in earnest—with an energy, capacity and genius never ceasing and never before equaled. Thus was inaugurated the age of machinery, of invention, of industrialism—an age vitally different from all that precedes it, and during which the basis of society was more completely altered and the economic and political structure more fundamentally revolutionized than in all the preceding centuries of civilization put together. Of the ten decades which may be roughly stated as covering this notable period of development not one has failed to contribute its quota toward the sum of great inventive achievements. Each and every decade has seen the origin of some transcendent act for the advancement of material civilization. The decade most fraught with achievement up to the invention of the telephone was the 1840-1850 period, during which the reaper, vulcanization of rubber, sewing machine and telegraph were perfected. These inventions, by far the most notable of the decade were all American, and marked the culmination of Yankee ingenuity. It is safe to assert that no other people in any equal short span of time can point to a record of accomplishments so marvelous and so revolutionizing, industrially and socially. The decade beginning with 1870 was also notable, the telephone, the dynamo and the arc lamp appeared and gave the first indications of the coming part electricity was to play in the affairs of mankind. But the ten years beginning with 1880 saw an outburst of inventive activity that dwarfed all similar periods in the history of invention. It seemed that the discoveries in things electrical in the last three or four years of the previous decades were the signal for loosening the pent-up genius of the world. The trolley car which has changed the face of urban civilization; the incandescent light, with its more powerful and healthier glow and more adaptable use; the automobile, the most distinctive feature of our time; the typewriter, the most indispensable instrument in modern business; the skyscraper, the delineator of the new skyline of American business centers, and the cash register, that ubiquitous instrument and first aid to honesty—to pick out the most obvious of the innovations that proclaim the age—all of these came into being or were first whipped into shape in the ten pregnant years beginning with 1880. DOES AUTO AID HEALTH? It's Question of Many Sides, Says Physician. When motor cars took the place of horses everybody rejoiced to think that we were to have more spare time in which to give our minds and bodies recreation. After ten years of the motor car some of us pause to consider whether we are better off than before in health and enjoyment, or whether we are not rather the worse. We have had more time to spare, but many of us think that we are somewhat like the man who fell over the cliff, he reached the bottom more quickly, but was not good for much when he got there. Motor car users have discovered that even though their day's work is shortened, they are usually too tired to take advantage of the time they rave. Motor cars have enabled many people to get through more work in a given time, but in doing this they have robbed mankind of one element which is a necessity as regards health: rest. "Rest is not a question of inaction or oblivion," says an Australian physician. "In order to save us from breaking down. Nature has interposed many interruptions in the course of our lives in the shape of hunger and the desire for sleep." PRIME SPORT NEWS Wills to Box at Detroit.

Wills has agreed to take a percentage of the receipts and has accepted, Flaherty said. Wills to Be Kept on the Jump Wills to He Kept on the Jump.

Jackson Barred as Wills Opponent New York City—The state athletic commission, Monday, ordered the promoters of a proposed Harry Wills-Buddy Jackson boxing match at Rochester, this week Wednesday night, to substitute a more suitable opponent for Wills. Its spokesman said Jackson was knocked out by Wills in two rounds at Newark, N. J., some time ago. Harry seriously injured his right hand in a training bout with Silent Puryear in Grupp's gymnasium Monday afternoon, and his scheduled bouts with an opponent to be selected by promoters at Detroit on Jan. 21; with Jack Taylor, in Hartford, Conn., on Jan. 25, and with Bartley Madden in Newark on Feb. 4, are off, it is feared.

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.

Wills is not only the logical contender but also the only one, and should long ago be considered a chance at championship. Slowly, in a surely, we repeat, public opinion is forcing a contest.
