LIZA Heralded as the fastest singing and dancing show of the present theatrical season "Liza," the all Afro-American musical sensation comes to the Globe Theater, Monday. The production comes to Cleveland after its all-season run at the Daly's and Baye's theaters, New York city, with its original cast and equipment. The company carries over fifty people among whom may be mentioned such well known artists as Irvin C. Miller. Gertrude Saunders. Billy Mills, Doe Doe Green, Will Cook, Alonzo Fenderson, Ethel Ridley, Ruth Trent, James Thomas, Lloyd Hollis, Aurora Greeley and a host of others. The noted Lieut. Tim Brymnn will direct the orchestra. The book of the play is by Irvin C. Miller and the music by Maceo Pinkard. The former is in two acts and eleven scenes, depicting the life of the southern Negro with all their humor, comedy, music and dancing. The large chorus is composed of girls of all shades and complexions and includes Creole beauties, comprising a Darktown Ziegfeld gathering of exceptional merit. Their dancing, in ensemble numbers, is one of the many features of the show. There are twenty musical hits that are now being played wherever music is heard. The Globe's engagement of "Liza" is limited to one week and it will be presented here in its entirety by the original cast that made it the outstanding hit of the theatrical season in New York City. Againn does Manager Bob Davis score. He simply will have the best. Do not miss seeing "Liza." Prof. J. H. N. Waring, Sr., Dead. Downington, Pa. — Prof. James H. N.

Not True of Ohio. That is why at least 90 per cent of our voters supported Roosevelt, the progressive, as against Taft, the old guard, in 1912. It was due largely to this support that Roosevelt defeated Taft in the popular primaries in the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio and Illinois.—Chicago Defender. Oklahoma City, Okla. — Charles V. Nunley, grand keeper of records and seals of our Knights of Pythias of Oklahoma, was arrosted here, recently, on a serious charge preferred by Miss Ann J. Miller of Tulsa, Okla. Nunley, who is prominent in fraternal circles in this state, and was in county fall all night, was released on on a $2,000 bond. Mother of Child. Miss Miller charges that Nunley is the father of her six months' old child. This Nunley admitted and pleaded guilty in county court, Jan. 11. Nunley declared that he was married, although separated from his wife. He was released on the charge of bastardy by Judge Cheek. Attorneys for Miss. Miller. Immediately filed charges against Nunley on the grounds of seduction. Miss Miller, who is a beautiful girl, and who gave her age as 20 years, claims that Nunley promised repeatedly to marry her. REFUSED BY THE EDITOR! Membership on the Recently Appointed Commission to the Virgin Islands—To Study Industrial Conditions There. Washington, D. C.—The commission recently appointed by the government to study the condition of the unemployed and the starving people of the Virgin Islands: Jefferson F. Coage of Washington, W. H. Brown of Newport News, Va., Cornellus R. Richardson of Indiana, George* H. Woodson of Des Moines, Ia., chairman; and Charles H. Mitchell of Institute, West Virginia. The commission sailed, Jan. 17. Their stay will be about three months. Wm. Davis, local stenographer, accompanied the party. The late lamented President Warren G. Harding offered the Hon. Harry Clay Smith of Ohio, editor of The Gazette, appointment to this commission, on May 29, 1923, when they were in conference on important race matters, but it was refused. Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., also refused appointment to the commission. "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, 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. $ 68,000 for Our Schools. New York City.—The trustees of the John F. Slater Fund, who met here, recently, voted to spend $68,000 among our schools during 1924. $25,000 of this fund will be given to county training schools throughout the South. Hampton and Tuskegee will receive $5,000 each, and Flask university $2,000. $16,200 will be given to colleges, while $12,500 more goes to private and secondary schools. In addition to its own gifts, the Slater board will govern the disbursement of an additional $47,000 which comes from the Peabody Fund, the Carnegie Corporation, and the General Education Board. Given a $15,000 Award. St. Louis, Mo.—Last week a jury in Circuit Judge Landwehr's court awarded Mrs. Cora McKinney, 2326 Walnut St., who was injured in a railroad accident near Wittenburg, Mo., in 1922, $15,000 instead of the $10,000 for which she had instituted a suit against the St. Louis-San Francis. Railroad Co. Dr. Butler on Class Hatred: New York City.—Addressing & newly naturalized group of citizens in the federal court, Brooklyn, N. Y., Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, said: "There is no place in America for class hatred or religious persecution. Put the old world animosities and the old world hatred behind you. It is as un-American for the poor to hate the rich as it is for the rich to oppress the poor." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS The Lilywhites and Southern Negro Leaders—The Party's Hypocrisy Toward Our People—Democrats Seeking Negro Votes—The Cleveland Convention (Special to The Gazette.) Jersey City, N. J.—The U. S. senate is the menace to Negroes in this country who desire citizenship rights. Senators through their "senatorial courtesy" have agreed to allow the south to do as it pleases with colored citizens living there. The turn of the colored voter has at last come. It is impossible for New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri to elect Republican senators without the votes of the colored people within those states. The senator from New York, who was defeated last year, met that defeat because he ignored the just demands of the colored voters of New York. The same thing will be true of other states if senators do not, wake up and recognize, that they have a colored constituency that must be treated squarely. Many Republican senators say that they can't conceive of colored people "voting against Abraham Lincoln's party when Lincoln was their enchantor." It Lincoln was their enchantor, Mr. Lincoln emancipated the colored race, he also saved the Union for the white race and yet there are millions of white men voting against Mr. Lincoln's party. Northern senators must defend upon the floor of congress the good name and loyalty of colored voters when southern senators, who hold their seats through fraud, intimidation and oppression of the colored voter, attack the colored race and pillory it. Senators must stand up and be counted and allow everybody to know where they stand in matters of enforcing the constitution to safe-guard the rights of colored voters. Senators that desert us and by "senatorial courtesy" help to deprive us of our rights, need not ask us to help send them back to congress. The senator from Texas, whose seat is now being contested, is as legally elected as Simmons of North Carolina or Harrison of Mississippi. If justice and law reign in the senate, every one of these southern senators, who get their seats by suppression of Negro votes, would be denied a place in the senate. Republican senators our eyes are on you. Certain definite things must be done now. First, no longer must the uneducated and vote-selling Negro be recognized as leaders of colored voters. Second, colored men that live in southern states where they have no hope of even carrying a single congressional district, must not be made the dispensers of patronage and the directors of the national campaign among colored northern and western voters. Third, ill-whiteism must be abolished, at Cleveland. Colored men must be taken into the councils of the party, as equals and not as wards. The southern white Republican who is as much opposed to Negro franchise as are white southern Democrats must be put out of business. The party must choose between the office-holding and convention-voting white southerner and the self-respecting intelligent colored voter of the pivotal states who now ask the party to "come clean" or lose its standing in these states. The policy of the Republican party Springfield, O.—F. M. Shelton, of Elyria, was elected superintendent of the Springfield public schools by the board of education, last Friday night. Salary will be $6,500. He succeeds Supt. M. McCord, the "Kluxer," who tried (in vain) to establish a "jim crow" school here, last year, and caused our people of this city to make "the fight of their lives," ably assisted by "The Old Reliable" Gazette and its loyal editor. Miss Dennie Wins at Last. Washington, D. C.—A signal victory was won over the city school board by Miss Louise F. Dennie, 1903 Third St. N. W., when the court of appeals, recently, decreed that the board had been proceeding for the past two years with some irregularities in its appointment of probationary teachers for the high schools, and through these irregularities Miss Dennie had been kept from being appointed. The court then ordered the school board to place the plaintiff on the eligible list and pay her for the two years she has been denied employment by a process not in accordance with the law. Miss Louise is a sister of Miss Pearl Dennie, years ago, a resident of Cleveland, O. IN UNION IT IS SINCE E COPY FIVE CENTS nered! U. S. Senators Of Our People Must wanted Northern Negro Leaders—The ward Our People—Demo- ro Votes—The Cleve- nvention Is the policy for this country so far as wealth and industries are concerned, but human rights are of more importance than wealth. Northern colored men, in the convention at Cleveland, must stand like men for the above-named principles. There must be no bartering with southern colored mon nor southern white men for jobs. In the north, we must have every right the constitution gives an American citizen. There are certain old white leaders of the Republican party that can't get it into their heads that colored voters want exactly what they want and that no longer can corruption-money at conventions satisfy the needs of colored voters. We want the dignity of office-holding, the right to participate in the secret councils of the party and also the right to be elected to office as other men. If the Republican party heeds these things, it is safe; if not, it is not safe. The Republican national convention that meets in Cleveland in June must do some wise things if the Republican party is to continue in power in many of the northern states. Too long has the party winked at southern disfranchisement of colored voters. Too long has the party shirked its constitutional duty in not cutting down southern representation because of its disfranchisling laws. Too long has the party played the hypocrite on the race issue in the south and as a result the south is the dominating influence in our federal government. The injustice done southern colored people by disfranchisement has had its reflex action upon the people at large, for it has made one southern white vote the equal of ten white northern votes. The exodus of colored voters from the south into the other portions of the country has enfranchised the very people that the south disfranchise, and in the north Democrats are seeking the aid of these colored voters to carry northern states that have been strongly Republican. Democrats are dividing the spells with the colored voter and they are seeking to get the educated colored leaders to line up with them. They are putting forth the argument that the Democratic party in the north is the party of the ordinary citizen, while the Republican party is that of the plutocrat, highbrow and aristocrat. By this argument the Democratic party has been able to attract the major portion of the foreigners and now they have turned to the colored voter. A further argument, that if the colored voters will give the Democratic party the states of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware and West Virginia, the Democratic north will take the whip out of the hands of the south, and run things and in this change Negroes under Murphy, Taggart and Sullivan will fare far better than they have under the Republican party bosses. As to the truthfulness of these arguments we cannot vouch but sufficient to state that educated Negro Democrats like Murphy very well. The Abraham Lincoln Republican Club is Leading the Fight for Such Representation—Our People Are Entitled to It. Dayton, O. Jan. 21, '24. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—I am writing to tell you just how grateful the club is for your interest in the campaign for a race representative as one of the "Big Seven" to the Republican National Convention which will convene in your city in June. All of our papers have arisen to the thought and are printing editorials and opinions on the subject. Organizations, too, have written us extending their approval and help. Among these is the Knights of Toussaint of Cleveland. We have on the press, this week additional petitions of sentiment which we hope also to have signed by thousands of our group during the coming weeks. We will advise you as soon as they are finished, but are anxious to have additional names and addresses of organizations and well-wishers to which you would advise us to mail them. Thanking you again for your interest and advice, I am, Yours for success. E. T. Banka, advisor.

CLEVELAND, JAN. 26, 1924 The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from the Tippecanoe club to attend its McKinley day banquet, at the Holldenden, Jan. 29, the day after the editor's birthday. --- While an A. M. E. conference, presided over by Bishop I. N. Ross of Washington, D. C., was in session at Pine Bluff, Ark., last week, masked Ku Kluxers marched in and out while the bishop sat silent and still. Nor did he, or any other member of the conference refer to the visit, later on. All things considered this was doubtless the best course to pursue—in that section of the country. Dr. W. T. Merchant of Louisville will be one of Kentucky's "Big Four" in the Republican National Convention to meet in this city in June. Dr. Cannon will be one of New Jersey's "Big Four." Other states will be heard from along a similar line, soon. One of Ohio's "Big Seven" must be an Afro-American, too, or a great and harmful mistake will be made. Leaders of the party in this state should not underrate the importance of the request of our people of Ohio for such representation. A prominent Democratic paper took occasion to remark, on the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, that not only was that battle unnecessary, but the whole war of 1812 was unnecessary. The intimation is that if we had had a league of nations in those days, the issues of that war could have been settled by the league without resort to arms. But it is wholly an assumption that the issues could have been settled by a league of nations. Great Britain was then the great power of the earth. The United States was one of the weakest. Moreover, the United States had set up a representative form of government, the heads of monarchies resented. France was a friend of the United States, not because it wanted this country to prosper, but because it hated England. It is possible that if we had been members of a league of nations in 1812 we could have submitted our quarrel with England to the league with assurance that we would get a square deal. But if we did get a square deal it would be because the other emmbers of the league wanted to check the power of Great Britain. The decision would have been one of temporary expediency, not of eternal right. It would have been political, not judicial. In the league of today the British empire has six votes to one proposed for the United States. If there had been a league in 1812, there can be no doubt that England and other European nations would have had power therein in even greater proportion, for the United States was looked upon with contempt. There was only one sure way to put a stop to the oppressive methods of Great Britain, and that was to challenge her to a test of power. This nation could not have maintained its self-respect if it submitted to arbitration or to a league of nations the question whether Great Britain should have the right to stop American ships on the high seas and take off men claimed by her to be British subjects. There are some questions that are justifiable—that can be submitted to an adjudicating tribunal. But that was not one. Even to submit the question would be to admit that if the decision went against us, we would submit. There is no American, today, who will stand upon a public platform and say that he would agree to submit to any tribunal the question of the right of Great Britain or any other nation to impress American seamen into the service of other governments. The issue is not even debatable, to say nothing of justicable. THE SMALL-TOWN PAPER The New York World, from its high plan of 600,000 circulation, looks down and remarks that "The curse of tied and muzzled journalism is at its worst in many of our smaller towns, especially one-industry towns built up on tarin spoils." The gratuitous insult to the small-town papers needs no particular classification other than as a World editorial, and by this time readers of the N. Y. World are fairly well convinced that it has wandered far from Joseph Pulitzer's idea of "an institution that should always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party." For one thing the World is Democratic to its very marrow, a free trader to the most pronounced type. Justin Miller, professor at the University of Minnesota, has been quoted as saying that "higher standards obtain in the smaller towns, where the editor is known and is personally responsible." There is a great deal of truth in that statement. The small-town editor comes daily into intimate touch with his fellow-townsmen. The editor of the World type meets the gang nightly in the "Amen Corner" of some large hotel, and the gang tells him what to say and how to say it. The days of Horace Greeley, Charles Dana, Henry J. Raymond, and other knights of the pen who were sans peur et sans reproche, has passed. The late Henry Watterson was almost the last of the great metropolitan editors who dared to say what he thought without dictation from the ring. Another thing: We have yet to see an American town which was built up by free trade, but we have seen a number that have been depopulated by that policy. The towns that are built up by the "tariff" policy advocated by the World are located in Germany, France, Great Britain, and Japan. The nations that have been built up at the expense of the United States, had we joined the League of Nations, as the World exhorted us to do, are the same that would have us permit free entry to their manufactured goods—a program contemplated in the League covenant. There are some able big-town editors, whose advice is sweet and sound, and whose editorials ring true, even if they do not always agree with the reader's views. But the institution of today, called the New York World, is not the institution that Joseph Pulitzer founded, by a long shot. ELKS CIRCUS TO HAVE "BIG TIME" ACTS Through the wide acquaintance in the show world of P. G. Lowery and Sidney B. Thompson, chairman of the executive committee, some really very high class acts have been secured for the big indoor Elks' circus to be held in Judd Auditorium, the week of Feb. 4th to 9th, inc. which include the famous "Riding Rooneyes" who have for the past several years been the feature-act of the Ringling Bros. Barnum-Balley circus. They do almost impossible feats on the backs of galloping horses. Their's is one of the best acts of its kind in the show business today and is equalled by no other riding act in the world. Among others are the Five Flying Fishers, who, while high up in mid-air, do almost the impossible in flying trapeze. One of their feats is that of one of the ladies who is hurled by another member of the troupe, from a lofty perch, thirty-five feet through space, and two complete something, and being caught at the end of the rigging by another member of the troupe. One of the most death-defying feats ever accomplished by either sex in this business. Ten clowns will produce laughs throughout the performance. One, "Baby Gene," only 19 months old, was the feature laugh-producer with the "Knusely Bros." Circus, the past season. The interest shown by Cuyahoga Lodge, Elks, and sister lodge, Glenear Temple, in putting this affair over is far exceeding the fondest hopes of the local committee, and by the time the doors are ready to open, Feb. 4th, they expect to have tickets in the hands of enough people to fill the house to capacity every night. The committee in charge have set aside a special night of the following cities: Akron, Painesville, Loveland, Elyria, East Cleveland and Oberlin, and have been assured of a good attendance from each city. It is also assured that the Grand Exalted Ruler will be a guest of the local lodge during the circus. The Wistaria club's recent annual dinner at Mr. and Mrs. Chas. S. Smith's. E. 68th St., proved an exceptionally satisfactory social function. Do not wait for the collector, but call, send or mall at once your subscription money, or whatever you request.

Chicago, Ill.-Boby Levy, the Senegalese boxer's manager, showed the Saturday theater audience where the conqueror of Georges Carpenter was wounded seven times during the World War. One gash was down his back, at least a toot long, was made by a saber. Skii says he was on his way when the slash was made and that he is sorry he did not start quicker. On the top of his head is a scar about two inches long that was made by a clubbed gun. He was picked off the field for dead after receiving the wound, and did not fully re-cover it by a German bayonet. One nasty looking wound on the left hip was made by a German bayonet. Two in his right leg were made either by machine gun or rifle bullets. Another was the result of getting in the way of a piece of shrapnel which must have sent him down colder than any glove-enclosed fist can knock a gun. If ever a soldier was shot to pieces Battling Skii certainly was while fighting under the colors of France in the World War. He enlisted when but 15 years old and served in almost every branch of the service. Through his knowledge of 10 different injuries was connected with the liaison department of the time, which called upon him to be up, beyond the front lines establishing lines of communication. Altogether he was so badly wounded three different times that little hope was given for his recovery. Seven Decorations Manager Bob Levy also showed seven decorations earned by Skii for distinguished service in the World War. Among them was the medal militaire, the highest decoration that can be bestowed upon a common soldier in the armies of France and her colonies. Louis Fall, which is Skii's real name, carries the marks of a severe wound for everyone of his seven decorations for bravery and daring. In telling why he came to be called Skii, he explained that it was a name given him when he was a small boy. It means about the same as "little tot" in the English language. He was adopted at the age of six by a German woman who planned on taking him to her home in Germany and educating him. She was also given a set of papers that a French colonist could not be adopted and brought into Germany. The German woman who had been his benefactor left the little black boy in Marseilles, France, after learning that she could not take him into her country, paying his living expenses and for his education for several years. He was REMOVING TAR FROM GAS. This Problem Has Always Presented Great Difficulty. The problem of removing all traces of tar from gas has always presented certain difficulties and from experiments recently carried out it would seem that an electrical method is likely to solve the problem. The principle introduced is similar to that used in the smelting industry for the precipitation of lead and other fumes. A specially constructed electrode, from which high tension direct current discharges emanate, is suspended in a cast iron inverted' U-tube, constructed from standard eight inch pipe covered on the outside with a jacketing of felt. The arms of the U-tube are each nine feet long. The electrode consists of two cast iron disks four inches in diameter and placed five feet eight inches apart, connected by means of a light gas pipe. Fine discharge wires are stretched from disk to disk in the form of a squirrel cage. The high tension discharge has the effect of causing all the tiny particles of tar to be precipitated. RED AND GREEN LIGHT TESTS Experiments that Are Amusing as They Are Interesting. It is strange how the color of a light makes it more or less visible, irrespective of its actual brilliance. To test this place two lights of the same color—two candles of the same size will do—in two tin boxes and in each box perforate a pin hole. Cover one pin hole with green glass and one with red and place them in a perfectly dark room. To a normal person the green light will appear five times brighter when viewed obliquely than when viewed directly, but the red light behaves in the opposite way. Most people will pick up the green light when looking in some other direction and will be quite conscious of its presence, but when they turn their eyes directly toward it they will not see it at all. The faint red light, on the other hand, will not be noticed at all until looked at directly, then it appears quite bright, but the instant the eyes are turned away from it it is gone. thus able to receive a better education than the average boy receives. He speaks the following languages: Turkish, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Senegalese, Sudanese, Holland, Arabian and English.

A.—Hugh Guitar, Firpo's New York representative, who no doubt will benefit for Buenos Aires to direct the Argentine's training for his matches with Spalla and Lodge, will continue as the fighter's permanent trainer when Firpo returns to the United States. He added that he understood the offer which Gartland is bringing with him from the National Sporting Club of Newark for a match with Harry Wills guarantees him $250,000. A good deal of money for a "licking." Wills is sure to "kayo" Luis who really won his battle with Dempsey but was "juggled" out of it. Champion Siki and Owens New Orleans, La.—Battling Siki Senegalese pugilist and champion light heavyweight of the world, met Battling Owens of Cleveland, O., in a fifteen-round bout here, Monday night. Fight fans declare Owens to be one of the best heavyweights developed in New Orleans since Harry Wills deserted the home soil for N. Y. City. Owens has challenged Harry Wills to a match to be staged in New Orleans. He has his best face, that is all. If they make Wills will make him lose it beyond recall! Siki did not appear in the best of shape, Monday night and the Cleveland man outboxed him in a majority of the rounds. Invited to Pittsburg The Cedar "Y" volley ball team has received an invitation from the Pittsburgh "Y" to play there in February. Of course there will be a return game here.

B. A. class A game and lost, the IA game to the Favorite Knits, 25-17. The Acmes will take part in the Community Center league, starting playing, next week. There will be a series of games with the Corrents and Jolly Ten for a loving cup. TEARS BIG PIT IN EARTH. Eruption Rends Ground Widely Where New Well Was Sunk. Quite a remarkable earth eruption occurred near Sinton, Tex., after gas had been struck at a depth of 2,200 feet at a new well which was being sunk. When the stratum holding the gas was reached by a drill, the casing that lined the bore was blown for a considerable distance into the air by the terrific force of the flow. For approximately three weeks the well remained uncapped and the gas shot out in great volumes. Then, without warning, a hole seventy-five feet in diameter and extending presumably to the bottom of the original well, was blown in the earth. Almost immediately this fissure was filled to within 100 feet of the surface, with boiling water. All the well-drilling machinery disappeared in the great pit.-Popular Mechanics. The Oracle. It was right after the concert. The ladies were discussing the solosists who had made the occasion memorable. "I like Mrs. X. Y. Z. best of all," said a young miss whose knowledge of music entitled her to some consideration. "She carried the chorus in grand style—and as for the real technic—" "Oh but she wasn't half so good as Miss P. D. Q. Her solo from 'Grumbino' was splendid," interrupted another. "Miss X. Y. Z. was—" "Yes, but if you had put her with the chorus you would not have heard her voice at all. Not that it isn't good, I mean." "Well, I don't care what you think," answered the older woman. "I never did like Mrs. X. Y. Z. anyway. And did you notice how horribly her skirt hung!"

The opening of the Japanese Marconi wireless plant at Funabashi, near Yokohama, with messages to the Marconi station at Koko head, Hawaii, extended the Marconi service nearly two thirds the way around the globe. If the war had not interfered with the creation of the British Imperial chain, it might have been possible by this time says the Boston Transcript, to relay a message by wireless all the way around the world The first message from the new station in Japan was received in New York. It traveled in the air 3,355 miles from Japan to Hawaii and then 2,037 miles from Hawaii to San Francisco. A station at Petrograd is now in constant communication with the Marconi plant at Carnarvon, Wales. From Clifden, Ireland, messages are sent across the Atlantic to Cape Glace. The new plant at Belmar, N. J., has sent messages across the United States to the station on Bolinas bay, a few miles from San Francisco, al though the Marconi company uses wire communication in its transcon nental service. NEW MOSQUITO ERADICATOR Electrically Charged Screen Lures Them to Death A genius of Jackson, Miss., has invented an electric motor which is to act as a mosquito exterminator. His plan is to have his motor revolve at just the right speed to make a humming noise like that of buzzing mosquitoes. That attracts all the insects in the neighborhood, and as the motor is surrounded with a metal screen charged with a powerful current, the mosquito alighting on it are instantly electricated. Dr. J.

Internal Strife Heads Up And The Break Comes 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 Simmons, 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 Ku Klux Klan, and Edward Simmons, 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 wizard, the boss of dragons has a left right, but the Emperor Simmons, 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. Asserta 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 state statements 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 expulsions, 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.

The Men Suggested by the Abraham Lincoln Republican Club of Dayton to Buckeye Republican Leaders. Dayton, O., Jan. 12, '24. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Garret. Cleveland, O. Editor Gassett, Cleveland, My dear Mr. Smith. The en- closed is the list from which the enclosed is Lincoln Republican club would like to have the delegate choosen, and is for publication in The Gazette if you care so to do. Thanks for your deep interest in the matter. The Abraham Lincoln Republican club of Dayton, the organized medium thru which the campaign for an Afro-American delegate-at-large is being promoted, arises to present its list of candidates for the consideration of our Ohio voters. We have been presented have been tried and found faithful to every public and racial trust, and the known integrity of each honorably fits him for the suggested confidence herein contained. (Signed) Wm. Penn, president. 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 side of Evans and his administration to the right, targeted against him by the Simmons faction, which reached a climax 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 Simmons faction said that the Klan had been freed from here to Washington. This was denied by imperial officials 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 him. Klan 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 Club Suggests The Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Hon. Harry E. Davis, Thomas W.

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 or friends of the world, 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. 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. 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 government contending, after over 1000 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 being without self-respect and have no 'gats.'" 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.) Guardian. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JAN. 26, 1924 ALABAMA OFFICIALS CONSIDER WEBSTER'S BOOK FOR THE CLASSES Suggestion Meets With Favor by Educational Leaders. The once famous Webater's spelling book, commonly known in its days as the "Blue Back Speller," a pioneer work played no small part in molding the thought and morals of a generation about ready to be laid upon the shelf. Now a member of the Alabama legislature has arisen with a motion to restore to the public schools of his state this most worthy publication. That the suggestion will meet with pronounced favor among all who know aught of the contents of this revered book may be safely asserverated in advance. That the particular neck of the woods in which the prohibition movement is at present particularly rampant will find no deterent influences in its pages may equally be promised. That legislators themselves will fare altogether as well is somewhat doubtful. A slight analysis of its import and compass, in the light of modern conditions, may not be out of place in this connection. To begin with the old "Blue Back" probably is the most moral book of profane origin ever issued. As a monument of orthographic rectitude it stands so straight that it leans backward. From "a-b, ab" to the closing list of polysyllables, there is an unbroken vault of righteous instruction, with ever and anon a story to lend dramatic interest to words whose meanings are invariably related to treefragile probity and conduct. It is true the speller says scarcely anything positive about prohibition. But it says more good things for temperance than any prohibitionist ever did in the whole course of his exhortations. Right in the middle of the tiniest words the young pupil encounters the one syllable injunction that "He must not drink a dram." From this he proceeds to the more mature reflection that "There is a near intimacy between drunkenness, poverty and rum," which, however, is promptly varied by the apparently unrelated, yet altogether praseworthy sentiment of "I love the young lady that shows me how to read." And here comes the half effects of all instruction, for Andrew Johnson loved the young lady who taught him how to read after he was a grown man, yet (a sad world, this!) was also fond of apple brandy, or at least so they say. But getting down to legislators—if this be the proper way to put it—the first hint on the subject is that "God is the divine legislator." Again as though reventing to a once cherished but since lost estate of such august and deliberative bodies, we have, "The senate originally signified a council of elders; or men, before their minds were corrupted, commuted the public concerns to men of experience!" Curious to say, in the vicinity of this solum consideration appears an aggregation of such omnious words as "acrimonious," "inexpedient," "circumumbient," "insignificant," "indictual," "disingenuous," "dictatorial" and "deleterious." Is this mere chance or resides therein some subtle significance, or when the apple peel thrown over the head curls of itself into the beloved initial? We'll let the legislators answer. Over against those, however and by way of preventing a possible misinterpretation, are a few sentences which it is assumed the electorate body had previously taken to heart: "The people should choose the best and wisest men for their legislators." "It is the duty of every good man to inspect the moral conduct of the man who is offered as a legislator," and "if the people wish for good laws they may have them by selecting good men." But once more rushes a whole passel of files into the ointment, for immediately follows "sinuosity," "insincerity," "mediocrity," "volubility" and "imbecility." CUTTING SEED POTATOES. New Machine Does Away With Te dious Labora. To do away with the tedious work of cutting potatoes for planting, a Maine inventor has brought out a machine that cuts two potatoes at a time into four pieces each, and does this work with a rapidity that depends only on the speed at which the operating wheel is turned. The potatoes are placed in a bin at the top of the machine. Opening from the base of the bin are two chutes that lead down to the two cutting devices, each of which consists of two intersecting vertical blades and a plunger. When the plunger rises one potato is automatically released into each chute and rolls down to a position on top of the intersecting blades...Popular Mechanics.

OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law 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 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: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. 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 a "mob" 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.) county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispense such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in 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 this chapter. 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 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 as injury result in permanent disability 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 injury 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 share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If any child 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. (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 which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, 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 6226. 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 6227. 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 other place, by such such 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 6228. 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, or the county 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 disurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in 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 Ohio of the Hom. Harry C. Smiths Ohio. Ohio 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, barr-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place or public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges therefore, 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 hundred dollars to the persecuted 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. Maled 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. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter, if the Beacon-Journal, of this city, were to 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 was going on in its own town, there would be no excuse 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.
