THIS "NEGRO" CHECKED MOD VIOLENCE — ONE MOBBIST DEAD, TWO WOUNDED Macon, Ga.—According to a report published, last week, in the Macon, Ga., Telegraph, Oscar Clark, who lived at a sawmill near Drayton, on the Flint River in Crisp County, Georgia, opened fire with a shotgun on a party of white men who had come to seize him. The trouble arose when a white man for whom Clark worked, mistreated Clark's son. When Clark protested, the mob formed to exact vengeance. The Macon Telegraph states: "The party did not consist of officers but is reported to have planned a private punitive expedition to Clark's home to exact penalty from him for making threats against Ed. Holliday for whom he worked. Holliday is said to have chastised Clark's small, son, and Clark is reported to have threatened his employer with death if he whipped the boy again." When the mob arrived at Clark's sawmill, he met them shotgun in hand. The casualties are: Ed. Barber, timberman, 32 years old, dead; Carl Williams, dentist, 33 years old, seriously wounded, and may die; James Russell of Cordale, slightly wounded; Pahl Wood, several holes through his clothing. Clark has disappeared. THIS IS "BULL" SURE ENUF "Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary" to His "Great and Good Friend" "It Is to Laugh! Washington, D. C.—Ex-Congressman C. Bascomb Slemp of Virginia, "illywhite" Republican, whom President Coolidge appointed his secretary-in-chief, is the man our people in Virginia, led by Editor John Attnell of the Richmond Planet, helped to defeat and retire from Congress, a few years ago. Slemp is the individual who "concocts" such communications and things as the following, for his chief, President Coolidge. He learned in Virginia (he thinks) how to "bull" the "Negro" there and is trying it on all of them throughout the country for his chief, this year, because the latter is a candidate and wants the "Negro" vote. Will he succeed? I think not. All of our people are not "soft marks and dummies," even if Slemp may think so. There is little ease to Duflofs' appointment, save the high-sounding title. It's rich, isn't it? Enough to make even the Lincoln Republican league of Chicago laugh. The "bull": Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States of America, To His Excellency, Charles D. B.

THE RESOLUTION Anent Delegate-at-Large Presented To Chairman Montgomery and Coolidge Leader Donlithen on Lincoln's Birthday. Columbus, O.—At the Conference of Afro-American Republicans, held here in Gardeld hall, Feb. 4, '24, the following resolution was adopted: Whereas, The Afro-American Republicans of the state of Ohio thru the Abraham Lincoln club of Dayton asked for conference with the State Republican Executive Committee and also asked for one of our group to be selected as a delegates-at-large to the Republican National Convention which is to convene at Cleveland in June, 1924, both of which requests were denied; therefore be it Resolved, That in view of the fact that the number of Afro-American Republican voters in the state of Ohio is sufficiently large to entitle it to one of the seven delegate-at-large to the Republican Nauan National Convention, and their loyalty to the party is unquestioned, this conference, of Afro-American Republican voters of Ohio, respectfully requests the substitution of a member of our race for one of the seven persons announced as having been recently selected as Ohio's candidates for delegates-at-large to the next Republican National Convention. The following were named as a committee to present the foregoing resolution to Chairman Montgomery of the State Republican Executive Committee and to the Hon. Hoke Donitheen, Ohio Coolidge leader, which was done, on appointment, Tuesday of this week, Lincoln's birthday. The committee: Hon. Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland, Rev. I. S. Webster of Toledo, I. S. Beason of Columbus, John C. Logan of Columbus and Dr. L. H. Cox of Dayton, chairman. The officers of the Conference were: E. T. Banks of Dayton, chairman; Rev. J. F. Baker of Fremont, secretary; Rev. I. S. Webster, treasurer. Birthday Greetings Show Your Love Sharline, O., Jan. 27, '24. Dear Sir: I hope that you live to see another birthday and may God spare yur health and strengthen that you will all please light your life before men that they will see your good work and glorify you. No man can command success and guarantee its permanence unless he deserves success. You are a real race leader. We all should be proud of you. Many more birthdays to you, sir! SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Justice, Health and Education Among the Rights That Must Be Guaranteed—Co-operation Urged—Emigration "Bears Fruit" Jackson, Miss.—The inaugural address delivered by Gov. Whitfield when taking office here, last month, embodied what many regard as the most significant and thorough-going pronouncement on race relations ever voiced on such an occasion. The state, said Gov. Whitfield, must take the "Negro" into consideration in all its plans for progress. Improve his working and living conditions, look after his health, provide better training and see that he gets a square deal in business relations and in the courts. The law enforcing officers were called upon to put an end to lynching, and every citizen was urged to see that the colored people are protected against violence and injustice, and encouraged in their efforts for self-improvement. Cordial co-operation for the common welfare was pointed out as the one path to peace and prosperity. Governor Whitfield's statement follows: the less favored black man shall get a square deal in business relations and in the courts. Our own self-interest prompts it; humanitarian considerations demand it; our Christian duty as a more favored people enjoins this upon us. "It is encouraging to learn of a fifty per cent decrease in the number of lynchings in the past 12 months. While mob violence is by no means limited to any section, its presence anywhere and everywhere is a blow at law and order and a blot upon our national life. Recognized by the majority of the law and the equality of every man before the bar of justice. I call upon all the law enforcing officials in the commonwealth to use every means within their power to prevent lynching, and thus eliminate a potent cause of race friction and ill feeling. "Wise leaders among the Negroes must be encouraged in their splendid efforts to aid their own people." "The Negroes still make up slightly more than one-half of Mississippi's population. Any plans for a new era, any change in our economic life, any reorganization of our agriculture or industry which leaves them out is doomed to failure. If we would work out our own economic salvation, we must at the same time take their well-being into consideration. There is a definite relation between their happiness and prosperity and that of the state as a whole. In these laborers in the South we must compete with the northern employers on his own terms. We must improve working and living conditions, look after the Negro's health, foster manual training and modern agricultural methods, and see to it that at all times DR. BYRD ON THE LODGE BILL! Says It Ought to be Passed—Some of Its Provisions—U. S. Senators Opposed To It! (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—Senator Henry Cabot Lodge has introduced a measure in Congress that should be enacted into law. The south should dr. William A. Byrd. vote for it. If the south desires to rehabilitate its working forces, it must grant to the working colored man a right to participate in the making of the laws under which he labors. He must have the right to vote for the men who will govern him. Senator Lodge's bill makes it a crime to interfere with the franchise of any American. Persons guilty of interference will be disfranchised themselves. This country has gone wild clamoring for the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment to the U. S. constitution. The forces of the church are arrayed in battle to enforce this amendment. The church has not said a word about the enforcement of the fourteenth, fifteenth and nineteenth amendments. Is it true that the church is silent on these because they are especially enacted for colored people? Senator Lodge has linked the four amendments together in his bill. If the reformers led by the Anti-Saloon league are sincere, they cannot but get behind this bill and push it. Silence on their part will mean hypocrisy. U. S. senators that oppose this measure must meet the results when they face their constituents for re-election. This does not mean that only one race will call them to task, but many. It is folly to talk of enforcing law in this country while N UNION THE STRONGER THE COPY FIVE CENTS and!" EVER CEASE! Governor Asks Fair ur People tion Among the Rights That —Co-operation Urged— "Bears Fruit" the less favored black man shall get a square deal in business relations and in the courts. Our own self interest prompts it; humanitarian considerations demand it; our Christian opinions demand people enjoy this upon us. "It is encouraging to learn of a fifty per cent decrease in the number of lynchings in the past 12 months. While mob violence is by no means limited to any section, its presence anywhere and everywhere is a blow at law and order and a blot upon our national life. I recognise only the supremacy of the law, and the equality of every man before the bar of justice. I call upon all the law enforcing officials in the commonwealth to use every means within their power to prevent lynching, and thus eliminate a potent cause of race friction and ill feeling. "Wise leaders among the Negroes must be encouraged in their splendid efforts to aid their own people. Points of agreement between the races must be emphasized and points of friction minimized. Every man and woman in the state must see to it that the laws protecting the Negroes in their lives and property are rigorously enforced; that the occasional white man who seeks to profit through the ignorance of his tenants or laborers be forced by the overwhelming weight of an aroused public opinion to give a square deal to all whom he employs, regardless of race or color, and that there be the fullest co-operation between the white man and the black, to the end that peace and prosperity comes to white and black alike through cordial co-operation in the agricultural and industrial upbuilding of the state." Congress and Presidents sit by and allow the south to scrap the constitution in all matters that it likes. The south is no better than any other portion of the country. It is impossible for this nation to exist while it permits rebellion within its ranks and does nothing to crush it. Every red-blooded colored voter must work like a trojan to get the Lodge bill passed. We want it passed before election. If U. S. senators do not stand for the enforcement of the entire Constitution, they have no right to the position they hold. Sectionalism, racial bigotry or nothing else must have any show when the constitution is a stake. Another Afro-American Winning Success Abroad-William Edonard Scott, Palster Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, on March 11, 1884, William Edonard Scott received his early education in the public schools of that city. In June, 1903, he was graduated from the Manual Training High School and immediately received an appointment as assistant art instructor at the school—the only Afro-American to teach in the Indianapolis high schools. Two years later the young instructor became a student at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1910 Mr. Scott journeyed to Paris to pursue his studies further. During his four years in Europe the young artist studied at the Julian Academy, Beaux Arts, Colarroal Academy, and the studio of Henry Osasawa Tanner. "Studying with Mr. Tanner," he says, "was a source of great inspiration to me. He is painstaking, conscientious, and a real genius. In 1918, the city of Indianapolis purchased his picture—"for the permanent collection of its Art Institute, a worthy tribute to an accomplished native son. His most recent commissions include an historical painting which illustrates the signing of the treaty between the Indians and Governor Edwards in 1819. This mural painting hangs in a bank in Edwardsville, Illinois. In addition to these there are nine mural paintings of Egyptian design and two large historical ones. These are in the possession of the First National Bank of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Practically every large gallery in the country has exhibited the artist's work and he has sold many paintings from them—Francis C. Holbrook, in the Southern Workman.

CLEVELAND, FEB. 16, 1924 The W. M. N., which includes the white man's political boot-licker, is about the most despicable thing in human form our loyal members of the race have to contend with in their efforts to conserve its vital interests. May God forgive them! --- Those in charge of the effort to raise funds for a Cleveland memorial to Abraham Lincoln apparently forgot "the colored brother" when it came to naming the members of their memorial commission but they did include Rabbi Louis Wolsey, an excellent appointment. Guess they care as little about our contributions as they do about us. And there are 40,000 Arro-American admirers of the martyred president in greater Cleveland. --- We hope in our next issue to be able to tell our readers the result of the conference, held Tuesday or this week at Columus, by the Hon. Hosee Donithen, Ohio Coidge leader, and the committee appointed by our State Conference which met in Columus, last week Monday, to consider our delegate-at-large matter. We had hoped to be able to make such publication in this issue of The Gazette. --- Again we ask what has been done to force a grand jury investigation of the unwarranted killing of Mrs. Wilson in Scovill Ave., last year, by that policeman? She was shot to death, too. Money was raised in two courcines to push the matter. Many monies have elapsed since her death and it is now time the public was informed as to the use of the money contributed or told where it is and why the desired results have not been obtained. --- Early last week, a Chinaman, who runs a restaurant in E. 55th St., shows and killed a young man of the race, one of his regular customers, mistaking him for a thief because he was helping himself to what he wanted but with the intention of paying, as many persons do in places that they patronize regularly. The Chinaman was too quick to shoot and our people in that vicinity, especially friends of the young man shot to death, should take up the matter and see that that Chinaman is punished. --- There were some doubts as to Hallie Q. Brown's refusing to accept the insulting (to those of the race in Ohio) offer to make her a candidate for the empty honor (?) of alternate-at-large to the Republican National Convention, to be held in this city in June of this year, but there did not seem to be any doubt that Fred D. Patterson's self and race respect would not permit him to accept, especially in view of the position he took four years ago, when the same contention was on. Last week, in Columbus, a close friend of Mr. Patterson said he would not accept, but our people of the state would like to hear from him, just the same. Speak up, Brother Patterson! WHAT KICK HAVE THEY? In a Western city, recently, there was submitted to popular vote a measure which added a debt of $600,000 to the municipality. The measure was voted upon by only 33 per cent of the total number of registered and qualified voters, 19 per cent of the total being in favor and 14 per cent against, so the measure was adopted. Under any system of popular government, a majority must prevail. Those who do not go to the polls and vote can not be heard to complain of the result. ALL STIRRED UP Senators and Representatives declare that never before in their experience has there been such a flood of letters as they have received in advocacy of the Meion tax reduction plan. No other bill has ever surreptitiously up so much public interest. The reason is easy to find. Never before has a bill been introduced that combined sound government policy with such a large measure of popular relief. Too often the tendency of legislation designed to win popular support has been to put an uncapped for burden on the Treasury, but in this case the Treasury is anxious to give its surplus back to the people who provided it. MAKING IT WORSE. It is reported that the new labor cabinet or Great Britain is considering the issuance of a large public loan to assist the unemployed. Presumably this scheme is supplementary to the dole system followed by other British administrations since the war. If so, it is merely the extension of a policy that has proven the greatest handicap to British reconstruction. The economic situation in Great Britain will be solved only when productive work has been provided for idie men. Whether that should be done by restricting imports from other countries, by encouraging emigration of the surplus population to other parts of the british dominions, or otherwise, it is for those more familiar with the situation to determine. But the collection of taxes from the producers to distribute among the non-producers as a gratuity can only end in disaster. --- GOOD WORK, TROTTER AND JOHNSON! Tuesday, President Coolidge told Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter and secretary Jas. Weidon Johnson and their delegations from the National Equal Rights league and the N. A. A. C. P., respectively, that he favored clemency for our soldiers, imprisoned at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan. because of their enforced part in the rhouston (Texas) riot of several years ago, and that he, the President, would immediately order an investigation by the Secretary of war of their part in said riot. This last official is reported as favoring clemency for the MEN. This is encouraging. About 150,000 names were on all the petitions presented to the president by Secretaries Trotter and Johnson. Good work; gentlemen! The following is from Roscoe C. Simmons "The Week" department or the Chicago Defender of F. 9, 24: "Harry C. Smith, great Ohio editor, tells the G. O. P. in Ohio that illness it learns some sense between how and the Ohio primary Coaches name may be Dennis in November. Carmi Thompson, a Republican of the old school, will back up with Smith. "Ohio colored Republicans, trained in politics by Mark Hanna and along with Joseph B. Foraker, greatest republican orator next to Ingersoll, say they are tired pulling the cart. They want to ride. "Ohio wants a Colored delegate-at-large to the Cleveland convention. "We are 200,000 strong' is the cry. In November they may change the cry to this: 'We are 200,000 mad.' "Great Colored people live in Ohio, leading in intelligence, industry, homes, graciousness in women and independence in men." "Republican leaders, listen to Mr. Smith. Give Colored Ohio what it wants. "Since Colored men got an additional delegate-at-large for each state that went for Harding a Colored Republican should be on each delegation from those states. Is not that fair? Don't fail. "Tennessee, a southern state, should send two, Robert R. Church, your finest, strongest young man, and A. W. Fite, as wise in politics as any man that ever moved the previous question. It went for Harding. "Mr. Carmi Thompson, dear sir: Please speak to Ohio Republicans before it is too late." Thank you! Mr. Roscoe Conkling Simmons. While we fully appreciate the very flattering personal reference, we prize and very highly indeed your effort to help our people of Ohio get what all concede they are more than entitled to. We want to see President Coolidge carry this state, this fall; something he will not do if his Ohio leaders persist in their refusal to do their clear duty and give Ohio Afro-Americans the delegate-at-large they DEMAND! This time, they do not intend to be shunted aside without making those responsible for it pay in the loss of thousands of votes on election day in November, 1924. They do not have to vote, if they do not want to, and all know it. And there are other things that can and will be done by those who feel free to act as they may see fit. It IS "up to" Mr. Carmi Thompson of this city, President Coolidge's personal representative, and Mr. Hoke Donthen of Marion, Ohio Coolidge leader. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, FEB. 16, 1824.

Certainly they have no objections to proximity to each other in their common struggle for rehabilitation. This gigantic war was waged "to make the world safe for democracy," to "protect the weak against the weak." How can we in the face of such a declaration of purposes go out of our way to inflict an unnecessary and undeserved humiliation upon brave heroes who wear the scars of conflict in the cause of their country? Dear Harry—You see how the wicked spirit of segregation is spreading.

Haynes, New York, executive secretary of the commission on interracial relations of the Federal Council of churches of Christ in America. "Besides being a center for worship, each church should be a center for religious education, for recreation and for social service," Dr. Haynes said. At present, the church program of worship, he addressed a conference under the auspices of the comity and social betterment committees of the Federated churches at the Hippodrome building. Rev. Haynes pointed out that a recent survey here showed 27 of our thirty three churches had been purchased second-hand, and were old buildings, constructed before the days of a varied church program, and adapted in most cases only for worship. He and Dr. Nicholas Hogan, the National Hygiene Association, New York, addressed the Cleveland Members' Union, Monday morning, at Euclid Ave. Baptist church. Churches and social agencies, Dr. Nichols said, should co-operate vigorously with health agencies against tuberculosis among our people. CAPT. CHARLES E. FRYE. The article in the local columns of The Gazette, dated Feb. 9, '24, (which was printed Feb. 7, '24), relative to Capt. Charles E. Frye, was a great mistake, as far as he had relation to him, and we keenly regret its publication. Judge Addams, at our request, informed The Gazette, on Friday, Feb. 8, '24, that not only did he not severely score Mr. Frye but that he felt sorry for him as a result of his disagreeable behavior. Also that she did not reproach her father in the court room, as stated in the article published in The Gazette of Feb. 9, '24, and as also stated to The Gazette by one of our local ministers in The Gazette office, Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 6, '24. We are making this correction voluntarily and willingly, and have written Capt. Frye who we are informed, today, that the doubleless is unaware of the most unfortunate publication. We sincerely trust that all of our readers will assist The Gazette in this sincere effort to do full justice to Capt. Frye. Harry C. Smith, Editor Custodian 1224 Not Dead, But Sleeping.
