A few years back you could not interest Jack Johnson in joining you in a theater party unless he figured you would spend 2,000 or 3,000 dollars. If you wanted him to fight you would have to talk with him over the 'phone, and surely in terms of hundreds of thousands, and not thousands. Today this same Jack Johnson is going twelve rounds with an opponent for which he received the paltry. sum of $2,000. Again we repeat, how times do change.

The Tate Stars Are No More Six months ago, the Tate Stars scattered to their homes after the conclusion of the baseball season, expecting to return, this year. During those six short months many changes have occurred. The former Tate Stars are now known as the Cleveland Browns and the name of the park has been changed to Hooper field. The club is under new management and has secured a franchise in our National league. Approximately sixty games will be played with league clubs, this season. Teams from Detroit, Birmingham, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis and two from Chicago will visit Hooper field at regular intervals. The Cuban Stars will be the road team, playing all of their games abroad. Numerous improvements have been made at the park. The new owners have enlarged the seating capacity, building seats on the left field embankment. About 250 box seats also will be available prior to the opening of the season. Construction of a club house for the players has been practically completed. The Cleveland Browns Co., incorporated under the state laws of Ohio.

New York City.--The Hon. Hamilton Fish, president in Congress from this state, and former major in the 15th Infantry, read a letter, during his address before a recent anti-lynching mass meeting of the N. A. A. C. P., which he had written to President Coolidge in behalf of our imprisoned soldiers of the 24th Infantry. The letter is as follows: New York City, Feb. 9, 1924. "My dear Mr. President: I am faking the liberty of writing to ask clooney for the fifty-four soldiers now confined in prison for participating in the Houston, Texas, race riot in the fall of 1917." "I served with colored troops at Shartanburg, and know something of the difficulty of their situation in the South, the insults heaped upon them and the provocation they endured. From personal experience I know that the riot is not all on their side. I make no appeal nor hold any brief for the colored-noncommissioned officers and leaders in the riot, nineteen of whom have been executed, but have not the others who participated in the riot without premeditation, been sufficiently punished. I would be a derelict to the memory of the colored soldiers who served in my outfit who paid the supreme sacrifice on the field of battle, if I did not raise my voice to secure justice, and cloemeny for those members of their race who also wore the American uniform. "In view of the recent amnesty to political prisoners who obstructed the draft, poisoned the minds of our people; made law-breakers and draft dodgers out of thousands, and some of whom have incited or actually participated in the blowing up of bridges, factories, etc., which sometimes resulted in the loss of lives, and generally impeded the conduct of our military operations, might not these colored soldiers also be, granting them the right to take part in a race riot where evidence has been produced to show that a large part of the responsibility should be housed by the white civilian population. "I am writing to ask you on the eve of Lincoln's birthday to grant clemency to those soldiers, in the same kindly spirit and with the same sense of justice that Lincoln always showed in hardoning young soldiers who had been sentenced to death or to imprisonment during the Civil War. "Trusting you will accept this letter in the spirit in which it is written, and grant clemency to these colored soldiers still in confinement.

He had made enough money, he declared, to satisfy him and he wanted to retire and live his own quiet life. His decision to quit the ring. Firno went on, had been reached notwithstanding pressure to the contrary on the part of numerous friends in the boxing world. He received only, today, from Tex Rickard an offer of a half million dollars for matches with Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey. He said he told Rickard's agent here that he was not interested in the offer. "Do not think I am saving this just to make a sensation." Firno told the Association Press, "I am tired of being a sensation. I am tired of managers, trainers and promoters and of this whole boxing game." Fighting for money and without any, real good excuse for the same is rotten, harbours, and we do not wonder at Firno's reaching his decision in the matter. Only we did not expect it from the "wild bull of the pannas," as he is characterized by profudious American (U. S.) sport-writers of daily newspapers. However, with Firno out, Champion Jack Dempsey's only real opponent is Harry Willis. This even his fool-friends admit but, they insist that the contest between the two, if it takes place at all and this they have feared from the very first, "must take place out of this country." Isn't that rich? They say Harry has "glass hands," etc., etc., and yet they do not want the fight to take place in this country. If they did not know that Harry will whip Dempsey, if ever they meet, "glass hands" and all, there would not be the glamor for the contest to be staged "out of this country." They also admit that it "would make money anywhere" and its money they are all after. Willis is married and a fine, clean fellow. This they also admit. So there is no danger of his doing the Jack Johnson act, taking two or more of their women (white) after he whips Dempsey.

Ten days ago the news leaked out that the Standard Life Insurance Co. had been declared $150,000 short by the insurance commissioner of Georgia; that the company was compelled to resell the Mississippi Life Co., which it had recently acquired, and that it had sold it to white interests at a loss of $50,000. The insurance commissioner gave the Standard thirty days in which to recover its equilibrium. With a view to safeguarding the interests of the public against further losses, the news of the Standard's perilous position was published by three newspapers.

SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1924 DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS Secretaries Daniels and Payne of the Wilson administration granted oil leases on land adjacent to the naval reserves, thus permitting the draining of oil and gas from the reserves. The Republican administration tried to prevent the loss of the Navy's reserve oil by bringing it to the surface at once and storing it in tanks. Now Democratic Senators are trying to thwart that conservation plan by closing up the wells on the reserves themselves, while permitting the neighboring wells, leased by the former Democratic administration, to run full blast and dissipate the Navy reserve as rapidly as possible. The people can draw their own conclusions as to which political party is responsible for the loss of Navy oil. --- HOW THEY DIFFER In the addresses delivered by President Harding and President Coolidge to the assembled heads of administrative departments and bureaucats and in their addresses to Congress, there has been emphasized one of the important differences between the economic policies of Republican and Democratic administrations. It is worth while to compare the statements of these Republican Presidents with the recommendations and appeals of President Wilson on the subject of public expenditures and Federal taxation. When it is out of power the Democratic party always poses as the friend of the taxpayer. It is in favor of reduction of taxes when it is not in a position to spend the money, but as soon as that party gets into power it is in favor of increased taxes in order that it may have increased revenues to spend for the reward of "deserving Democrats." The Republican party is for decreased taxes when in power as well as when out of power. This is not a mere empty assertion incapable of proof. It can be proven conclusively by the records. Woodrow Wilson became President on March 4, 1913, when there was a surplus in the Treasury and when the Government was living within its income. The revenues and expenditures up to June 30, 1913, had been determined by the previous Republican Administration. From its very beginning, however, the Democratic Administration began increasing public expenditures so that there was soon a deficit threatening, and the financial condition of the country became so critical that President Wilson went to Congress on September 4, 1914, with a special message in which he said that he came to discharge a duty which he wishes with all his heart he might have been spared, but "I come to ask very earnestly that additional revenue be provided for the Government." That message was delivered just about one month after the outbreak of the war in Europe and three years before the United States entered the war. The Democratic pretense that United States began preparations for war. The Democratic pretense that the new taxation was for war purposes was, therefore, without foundation in fact. It is common knowledge that President Harding not only advocated decreasing Federal expenses and Federal taxation but he made that decrease effective so far as expenditures were concerned and made possible the decrease in taxes which went into effect during his Administration and the further decrease which is now recommended by Secretary Mellon with the approval of President Coolidge. President Coolidge in his recent address before the Government business organization, declared himself unquivocably against the extension of activities. Contrast that attitude with the position taken by President Wilson when in December, 1914, he declared, "The people of the United States do not wish to curtail the activities of this Government; they wish rather to enlarge them." Enlarged government activities meant enlarged opportunities to take care of deserving Democrats. President Coolidge, with patronage in his power, is asking for a diminished rather than an increased Federal activity. It should not be difficult for the average voter to determine whether he prefers the Democratic or the Republican policy. Dr. Joe T. Thomas' letter in a local daily paper, the first of the week, urging the training of our girls as nurses in the City and other local hospitals, was a good one. But we are never going to get into any of them by continuing to "beg the question." We must use our ballots! Support supporting the Republican or any other political organization that refuses to give our girls the right to study, alongside of those of other classes or races, to become trained nurses, in the City hospital or any other of the publics institutions. This only will get us what we are clearly entitled to under the law. Stop begging but fight at the polls and in the courts for what you have been so long unjustly and illegally denied. "TROUBLE IN OHIO." Under the above heading, our esteemed contemporary, the Richmond (Va.) Planet, John Mitchell, Jr., editor, had a lengthy editorial, last week, that needs explanation and clarification. In the first place, "the astute (?) Republican leaders" of this state did not "out-wit" our leaders of Ohio in the matter of an Afro-American candidate for delegate-at-large. They simply did what they have been doing in Virginia and almost every other state in the Union for years—ignored our request for what was clearly due. It was the same old thing that caused the last great fight of our leaders in the "Old Dominion" in which the editor of the Planet was a leader. In this (as usual) the Ohio leaders (white) were aided and abetted by "Negro" political boot-lickers who were undoubtedly promised jobs for their despicable duplicity and treachery. They are expecting them, anyway, in the event of President Coolidge's election. Ralph W. Tyler was never "a Colored leader" in Ohio and was not given the appointment he held because he was "of presidential size" (for appointment to office). If Ralph were alive, we would explain in detail his appointment by President Roosevelt who was "slapping at" our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, when he made it. Roosevelt was angry with the Senator because he persisted in his fight for "The Black Battalion" which he (Roosevelt) had ordered Secretary of War Taft to "discharge without honor" from the U. S. Army. This Taft had done after trying in vain to get Roosevelt to rescind his order. Some of "The Black Battalion" had helped to save the lives of Col. Roosevelt and his "Rough Riders" in Cuba during the Spanish-American War, too. No Ohio Afro-American has ever held a Presidential appointment "of national importance" because of this state's "Negro" political boot-lickers. They have always been willing to help white Republican leaders hold our people back, in the matter of proper representation, etc., so they could get a job. Continuing, Editor Mitchell says: "Either pledges should be made to give to some of these Afro-American leaders an appointment of national importance or the fight should be continued to the bitter end. Supine submission cannot win in a political contest. Manly men alone can secure manhood rights for either themselves of for some one else. We hope that united action will take the place of divided council, which now seems to be dominating affairs in Ohio at this time. If the colored people of the state will all attend, all that they demand can be secured without being put to the hazardous trouble of fighting in the open for it. The report of the experiences of that Afro-American committee as published in the Cleveland Gazette of March 8th, 1924, is decidedly humiliating. These men were not on a personal mission and were advocating no particular candidate for the position. They took high ground and left to the white Republicans themselves, so far as the resolution goes, the naming of one of their number of Republican Convention at Cleveland. The matter can be compromised, but this compromise can come by pledging to appoint to a position of national importance some one of the able Republican Afro-American leaders of Ohio." That is where our esteemed conferee of the Planet is wrong. Ohio Afro-Americans insist upon a candidate for delegate-at-large and the offer of a job, or position of any kind, will not be accepted. There can be no compromise! Either we get what we demand or we will carry the fight into the campaign for election, this fall. There is no law that compels our people to vote, this fall or any other, if they do not feel to do so, and they know it. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1924.

Washington, D. C.—The Secretary of commerce and the Secretary of Agriculture have completed plans whereby their two Departments will combine in a constructive study of the supply and exploitation of timber in the United States which has now become one of the big conservations and industrial problem. The study is to be undertaken in the belief that the methods used in exploiting timber resources and the restoration of normal and healthy conditions in the industries which convert timber into usable products, vitally concern the public at large. One of the conditions which, in the opinion of the secretaries, makes this study of immediate importance is the fact that the United States, which contains some 3,000 billion feet of standing timber, in now reducing its stock of stumpage at the rate of sixty or more billion feet annually. In spite of this limited timber supply, lumbermen are now unable to market much of the poorer grades. They therefore leave in the woods or burn in their mills from one-third to one-half of the material in the trees. Poor varieties of timber often are not cut at all, but are left to be burned in the slash fires which usually follow logging. Some of this waste it is believed is preventable, and much more, it is hoped, can be saved under improved conditions of marketing and use of wood. One of the objects of the study is to lessen this total waste which if allowed to continue, will be felt sooner or later by all who use wood. Because of these and other existing conditions in the timber and lumbering districts, the Secretaries of both Departments feel that there is need to devise betterments in the interest alike of the forest-use industries and the consuming public. The more important elements in the project of the two Departments are as follows: The studies will seek to establish the essential facts relating to supply, exploitation and marketing of timber, both at home and abroad, and to analyze the underlying causes of present unsatisfactory conditions. The aim will be to deal helpfully with the various problems presented, and to indicate as far as it may be practicable, measures which should be adopted by the industry itself, or by the public relation to the industry. The studies will be conducted directly by the Forest Service in the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Foreign Domestic Commerce, with the cooperation of the Bureau of Corporations and the Bureau of Standards of the Department of Commerce within their special fields. All the information hitherto gathered by these different agencies as to the standing timber, the manufacture and marketing of lumber, the quality of various timbers, and the more economical and more profitable utilization of wood will be correlated with any new data gathered and used to indicate improvements. Among the related industrial and business questions which will be considered are the effects upon lumber production of speculation in standing timber and the carrying charges on private stumpage; the extension of markets, including the Development of foreign markets, for lumber and other forest products and the marketing of material in new forms; and the competition of lumber produced in other countries and of other materials used for the same purposes. Attention will also be given, in the interests of consumers and manufacturers, to the questions of the distance between the producer and the consumer, and the distributing agencies which absorb a considerable part of the retail price. The inquiry has to do not only with the thrifty use of the present timber supply, but also with the possibility of applying forestry in the future management of private timber lands. Geo. W.

Green wrote both the management of the restaurant and the market, last week. In a letter to him, signed by Charles D. Kamp, pres, and gen'l mgr. of the market, Mr. Kamp said amnog other things on March 11, '24: "I am very glad that you have brought this matter to my attention as I want to assure you The Euclid-46th St. Market Company wants to be fair to every creed and nationality, living in this city, at this market, this business, and report to you.

Our Harvard Waitresses Discharged!

The tribesmen are eating locusts, caterpillars and ants to keep alive. The tribe, numbering thousands, owns 2,000 acres, but these lands are insufficient to maintain them and they are not allowed to buy more. This too, in their native land; their own country.

C.—The gossip style of scandal-mongering, to which the Democrats in Congress have resorted, was very aptly described by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge when he recently read in the Senate the statement, "I have none." The lines, read in the midst of one of the frequent Democratic outbursts of umendo, have created much amusement and have served to emphasize the vague character of many of the accusations directed at public officials. The parody is as follows: "Wanderlip Says" "Absolute knowledge I have none, But my aunt's washerwoman's sister's son Heard a policeman on his beat Say to a laborer on the street Tell him letter to be sent week; A letter which he did not seek— From a Chinese merchant in Timbuco Who said that his brother in Cuba knew O an Indian chief in a Texas town.

TO MEDICAL MEN AND TRUTH IS YET UNDISCOVERED BY THEM MANY THEORIES ARE ADVANCED Some Believe Poison Accumulates in Brain and Delirium Tremens Result. New York-That delirium tremens is the direct result of over indulgence in alcohol is well understood. But how does such over indulgence act? And why should some hard drinkers never "see snakes," while other and much milder victims visualize them to such a degree that loss of life follows? Theories of delirium tremens are not wanting; but they are so many as to indicate that the truth is yet undiscovered in its completeness. There appears to be an interesting, though disquieting reason for revival of research in the subject now. Since the Harrison narcotic law went into effect many drug habitues, having exhausted their supply and failing to obtain more, have turned to alcohol as a substitute. In some who had been drinking for years the sudden and marked increase in the amount of liquor consumed has led to the frequent occurrence of delirium tremens. After noting that "chronic alcoholic poisoning produces some well known changes in the central and peripheral nervous system," a writer in the journal of the American Medical Association says, in substance: "As yet, however, no changes have been found in the brain which explain why a man who has been drinking for years suddenly develops a delirium which runs a definite course of from three to five days or even longer. "It has been thought that delirium tremens is an acute infection occurring in chronic alcoholics. Nevertheless many cases run their entire course without fever, and Nonne found blood cultures negative in 15 consecutive cases examined by him. Doelliken believes that continued drinking of alcohol results in the production of a poisonous substance in the brain itself, and that an accumulation of concentration of this substance produces delirium tremens. "Jacobson explains the delirium as an autointoxication, the kidney, or the intestinal tract, and acting on a brain which has been poisoned over a long period of time by alcohol. The view of Hertz differs from this in that the supposed poison which precipitates the delirium comes from an insufficiency on the part of the kidney. "According to Bonhoeffer, chronic alteration in the intestinal tract is responsible for the elaboration of poison which is normally excreted through the lungs. Wagner Von Jauregg believes that the liver, rather than the lungs is the organ which fails to eliminate the poison, and he thinks that this failure is due to the changes occurring in the liver in chronic alcoholism. "Kauffman has asserted that this poison is a carbon derivate acting on a medulla altered as a result of chronic alcoholism. He believes that the delirium will persist until the production of this carbon derivate stops." All of these theories presuppose a poisoned central nervous system. It has been objected, however, that many chronic drinkers never suffer delirium. It has been suggested that different poisons may result from excessive drink and that only one of these may cause delirium tremens. There are, however, still other theories: "The possibility that delirium is due to an increase in the pressure and amount of the spinal fluid has recently been considered. Jauregg of Vienna assumes that the body of the chronic alcoholic protects itself by the production of an antialcohol which is of the nature of an antitoxin. When a hard drinker suddenly stops taking alcohol this antialcohol substance, having no alcohol to which to affix itself, acts on the body in such a manner as to produce delirium tremens. Hare maintains that the development of delirium is due to a sudden fall in the amount of alcohol circulating in the blood of alcoholics. His evidence is drawn from a study of 75 cases, in nearly all of which there was a great reduction in the amount of alcohol absorbed prior to the onset of delirium. "Numerous objections have been raised to each of these theories. The views concerning poisons and autoantioxidations have been vigorously attacked because there is as yet no definite proof that poison is elaborated. There are already adversaries to the recent notions concerning an increased pressure of the spinal fluid and the fall of alcohol in the circulating blood, all of which indicates that much work remains to be done before the final answer to the problem is reached." Raised His Ideals Joshua—"Sille has awful high ideals of wimmin. Won't pay no attention to any of the girls around here" Abner—"I know it. The blamed gilley'll set an' admire the pictures of girls in the corset advertisements for hours at a time." MORE TROUBLE FOR COOLIDGE! This Means Fight, This Fall! Our Demand for What We Are Clearly Entitled To, a Delegate-at-Large, Ignored—Five “Negroes” Turn Against Our People—Donithen's Statement Columbus, O.—At the Conference of Ohio Afro-American Republicans, held in Garfield hall, Feb. 4, '24, the following resolution was unanimously 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 a delegate from California and wanted to catch a train, Mr. Donithen came into the room where we were waiting and made no excuse what ever for keeping us waiting for more than two hours. Rather humiliating to any self-respecting human being don't you think? I was standing when he entered and, after introducing myself, Editor Dabney and Rev Webster, I read the following: "Mr. Donithen, we come to you as the representatives of the thinking Negro Republicans, men and women of the state of Ohio, none the less Republican because they dare think for themselves, and in their behal 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 Naan National Convention, and their loyalty to the party is unquestioned, this conference, of Afro-American Republican voters of Ohio, respectfully requests the sub-committee to number of our votes 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 Donithen, Ohio Coolidge leader, which was done, on appointment, Tuesday, Feb. 12, 1924, 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. E. Baker of Fremont, secretary; Rev. I. S. Webster, treasurer. After the committee was named, the chairman called the office of Mr. Donithen and was informed that the gentleman was out and would not be back until late that evening. He then called the office of the chairman of the state executive committee and was informed that that gentleman had left town, at noon, and would be returned to the conference related his experiences in trying to make an appointment to deliver the resolution, and announced that he would bend every honorable effort towards making the appointment with Mr. Donithen that the committee might deliver the resolution in session. He the remaining members of the committee were the man Cox in Columbus, if possible, on call. A few days later, Mr. Cox called Mr. Donithen over the long distance 'phone and asked an appointment. He stated that the committee could call "any day" and he would see it. To this Mr. Cox replied: "I am too indefinite, Mr. Donithen would do the formation of last Monday when the committee was in Columbus ready to call on you and could not get in touch with you." He then agreed on Tuesday, Feb. 12th. Chairman Cox then notified each member of the committee to meet him in Columbus at 12 o'clock noon, Feb. 12th, and received a reply from Mr. Logan who informed him that owing to the fact that the Lincoln League convention he would not be present but directed Mr. Cox to sign his name to the resolution. The editor of The Gazette, much to his regret, was unable to leave Cleveland, Feb. 12, but wrote that he was heart and soul with the committee and for it to use his name the saw fit. Promptly at 12 o'clock, Feb. 12, 1924, three of the committee of five met here at the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Donithen was called on the phone and the meeting with him was arranged for one-thirty. "We were at Donthen's headquarters at one-fifteen, just fifteen minutes ahead of time," said Chairman Cox. "He was out but was 'expected back at any minute.' Well, those fifteen minutes soon passed and it was now one-thirty, the appointed hour. From the room where we sat we could see the outside door and every time the door would open we would think—here he is now—but that door opened and closed several times, without being dazed and threwthirty, without being dazed and the form of Mr. Donthen. For more than two hours, there we sat, smoked and chatted, looked at our watches, and then smoked and chatted some more; only looking towards the door, every time it rattled, to say, 'here he comes now.' Finally, when I could stand it no longer and had risen to it, telling my companions that I had stood the humiliation long enough and that I had stood it that long simply because I felt that I was making the sacrifice for the thinking men and women of my race in the world, and two and a half hours' waiting, the long Mr. Donthen entered and, after seeing another man (white) who had arrived after we did but whom his secretary (Donthen's) explained was THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1924 a delegate from California and wanted to catch a train. Mr. Donthen came into the room where we were waiting and made no excuse whatever for keeping us waiting for more than two hours. Rather humiliating to any self-respecting human being, he was standing when he entered and, as he ing myself, Editor Dabney and Rev. Webster, I read the following: "Mr. Donithen, we come to you as the representatives of the thinking Negro Republicans, men and women of the state of Ohio, none the less Republican because they dare think for themselves, and in their behalf we urge you to use your good offices to see that we are justly accorded the right to vote. We willize, Mr. Donithen, that to the victor belongs the spoils, but we do not come to you as job-seeking Republicans, willing to barter the just rights of our people for a political job or promise of such job, but we do come fully mindful of the fact that we are not the side by side, with Republicans of your race and voted almost solidly for the success of the grand old party, and we believe we are justified in asking, now for some of its honors and that the treatment accorded us be in keeping with our loyalty to the party. I present to the esteem in (Prairie above) for your careful consideration. Mr. Dabney will make a few remarks and then Rey, Webster. "Editor Dabney of the Cincinnati told him that since we had waited so long and the hour was growing so late we would simply leave the resolution for him to look over later and he could write his reply to the chairman. This he would not hear to but insist upon having it done, and we are here. I know what your petition is about; you want what your petition is but it cannot be done now. It is all arranged and nothing can be done. Rev. Webster said: 'You mean the slate has all been fixed' and proceeded to tell Mr. Donithen a few things about the treatment of members of our race. Mr. Donithen replied by saying that he would make it was done in this way and proceeded by pulling a slip of paper from his pocket and as he called each named delegate by name he explained how each happened to be selected. He told how Mr. Procter of Cincinnati and Ex-Congressman Knight were selected because they were not in harmony with the organization, and they were sequestered to bring about harmony in the party. I see how they were not selected, and you figured that the colored Republicans would vote for you anyway whether you named one of our group or not. To my utter surprise, Mr. Donithen said: 'I see how you are the right idea. We figured that you owe us your vote because of the Civil War and what that meant to you. And furthermore, we called into conference your toes that our self-appointed leaders had been called into conference, before this thing came to the arrangement whereby we were not to have a delegate-at-large, but merely two alternates! Two figureheads, you might say! Agreed to it! My God, what is to become of the race when our own men treat us like that. What is to become of us when one of our group accepts an alternate's place when men Branford are to be appointed for a delegate-at-large. Two sore white Republicans, Procter and Knight, and two white women are among the seven whites selected as candidates for delegates-at-large! It would have been the fair and just thing to have named one white woman and one Afro-American, man or woman. I further reminded him that two years ago the Republican organization put literature for our people to use because of his southern birth (Georgia) and southern views, and now you name this same Mr. Knight and ask us to vote for him. We had with us one of the circulars (furnished by the editor of The Gazette) used by the Republican organization, two years ago, which was self-evident truth that what I said about Mr. Knight was true. Exactly, the women of our race were consulted and they agreed to it.* Men and women for the love of all that is right and just, for the love of our children and our future generations think! Think and he named the men, too!!! (Who were they—name them and let our people of Ohio know they are all—Editor. E. T. Banks have the way to Chicago to have the Littleton telegram. Mr. Donithen in support of our resolution which we presented, Feb. 12. *24, and when Mr. Banks made an effort to get a resolution through authorizing the sending of the telegram, one of these same men (Charles Cottrill) whom Mr. Donithen then named as being one of our leaders who agreed to their not naming a Negro delegate-at-large, was the one and tried to block the adoption of the resolution. But in spite of his efforts, the resolution passed and Negroes were sent. Hats off to Banks and shame man who laid down when the race needed upstanding men to champion its cause. Some weeks ago a petition was circulated through Ohio and thousands of signatures obtained by the Abraham Lincoln Republican club of Dayton, calling upon the state to name a member of the race as a delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention to be held in Cleveland. this year. This was before the slate was made up, too. Some time later, I was informed that this petition had been ignored by the state Republican executive committee." Banks Names Two of Them.

My dear Mr. Smith—I am sending you data on the contention for delegate-at-large of the committee who called upon Mr. Hoke Donithen on Lincoln's birthday to present the resolution of the people as adopted at our Columbus meeting. Two of the men of our group who say that the colored people will be satisfied with an alteration of the resolution of Mr. Donithen, are CHARLES COTTINGHILL of Toledo ATTY. BARCUS of Columbus. The other three names have not been given me yet, but I will notify you as soon as they come to hand. I am sending you herewith the action of the Lincoln League with regard to our fight, and the resolution as telegraphed to Mr. Donithen by myself, protesting the utterances of the self-appointed "race leaders" as to the satisfaction of the people with minor recognition and are wondering where, in the face of our great petition, they could have gotten their authority. The fight has just begun, however, and we will be pleased to keep the progress are making. Thanking you for your deep interest, kindness and assistance, I am Yours respectfully. E. T. Banks, Advisor. For the Abraham Lincoln Republic Club of Dayton, O.; Wm. Penn. Pres. --- Cottrill Opposed Bank's Resolution. Chicago, Ill.—The first piece of constructive legislation passed by the Lincoln League of America, assembled here, February 12, '24, was presented by E. T. Banks of Dayton, who made his plea before the convention for national influence upon the delegate-at-large situation of Joa. addressed himself to his subject with a convention passed the following resolution and wired it immediately to Hoke Donithen, the Ohio Coolidge manager, at Columbus, Ohio; We, the Lincoln League of America, in convention assembled, conscious of the increase in the delegated representation in the National Convention from Ohio, urge the propriety of placing a colored member on the Ohio delegation at large. (Signed), The Lincoln League of America, by Roscoe Simmons, Pres.; Henry Lincoln Johnson, national Republican committee of Georgia; R. R. Cohen, chairman of committee; William C. Mathews, Mass.; Oscar DePriest, Ill.; Perry Howard, Miss.; William Kelly, N. Y.; Walter Cohen, La.; Homer Phillips, Mo.; R. L. Bailey, Ind.; E. E. Underwood, K., and Melvin Chisum, Md. Just returned from Nashville; found your telegram. Donithen said, "I was surprised that other leaders were seen and that they were satisfied with alternates. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patromize those who ask in this paper for your patronage.—Editor.

"I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE When Charlie Cottrell of Toledo, Atty. Barcus of Columbus and the other "white-men picked" or self-styled "Negro leaders of Ohio" gave the Hon. Hoke Donithen, Coolidge leader in this state, to understand that our people of Ohio would be satisfied with two candidates for alternates-at-large to the Republican National Convention, to meet in this city in June of this year, they knew full well the despicable part they were playing for their white political masters and how our people of Ohio would feel toward them for their treachery. We asked, in time this year, a delegate-at-large, and now DEMAND it! An Afro-American must be substituted for Knight or Procter, or one of the two white women selected. It is the most nonsense for Mr. Donithen, or anyone else, to tell us "it is now too late" to do this. He and his associates in the selection of the seven candidates on the slate (for delegates-at-large) knew in time that we were and are clearly entitled to as a potent factor of the Republican party of Ohio, and unless it is given we can safely say that at least 50,000 Ohio Afro-Americans will refuse this, fail to vote for President Coolidge, many of them voting for the Democratic candidate for the Presidency if McAdoo or some other broad-minded northern member of that party be named as such. Coupled with the foregoing and greatly aggravating the whole matter is the contemptuous manner in which Mr. Donithen treated our Conference committee that sought (almost in vain) the interview with him. It was far more of an insult than an interview. He does not seem to have anything like a proper regard for the Afro-American Republicans of Ohio and it is up to them to teach him, and those associated with him a much-needed lesson. This can only be done at the polls in November unless he awakens and soon, too, to a proper and full realization of the fact that we propose to have that delegate-at-large or give them some thing to remember, this fall, they will never forget. Ohio Afro-Americans will not stand such insulting and unfair mistreatment from Donithen, Coolidge or any one else with out striking back in a proper manner and at the proper time, and it is far better that they get this right in their minds now than later or when it is too late. The Harding-Coolidge administration was a grievous disappointment to Afro-Americans generally, not only because it practically followed the policy of the southern Democratic Wilson administration in refusing to appoint responsible members of our group to positions of importance (both as to class and salary), as well as others, but also because it continued the insulting segregation in the departments at Washington, D. C., inaugurated by and under the Wilson administration; and voiced insulting sentiments which it felt would also please the Democratic South. Add to the foregoing its refusal to pardon our soldier-martys imprisoned at Ft. Leavenworth, Kans., and many other demonstrations of unfairness, all because of our color and race, and anyone can get something like a fair estimate of how we feel today toward the Coolidge administration which has not, as yet, done anything material to its refusal of the strong feeling of resentment that has surged thru the breast of every manly and womanly Afro-American for nearly three years. The C. Bascomb Slemp idea that Afro-Americans can be fooled with the giving of "the shadow for the substance" is positively silly, and President Coolidge who mean well and intend to do what is right by us, should not be misled by his "illy-white" Republican secretary from Virginia, Mr. Slemp. He, the President must first and promptly root out that aggravatingly insulting segregation in the departments of the government at Washington, D. C. and elsewhere (in the city). This far overshadows the matter of appointments to office. If it is not wiped out soon, no self and race respecting member of the race can possibly vote for the President, this fall. A southern Democratic President (Wilson) inaugurated the segregation and another can do no worse. We are trying to have faith in President Coolidge Cochars appointment, and all other members after, pale into insignificance while that segregation in the departments at Washington remains. With the administration at Washington falling in the most important matter to the entire race, and failing to give us any recognition worth while in the way of appointments to the White House, Mr. Hoke Dionthen of Marion, O., and Chairman Montgomery of the Ohio Republican executive committee, treating with almost contempt not only our just demand but also those of our real leaders who carried it to them at Columbus, the outlook for the loss of 50,000 Afro-American leaders in Iraq is encouraging as far as the election of President Coolidge, this fall, is concerned.

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.

Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Coge of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and another place to a citizen, except for reasons applicable to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be defined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. --- This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the coolly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Ron 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: --- Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER RE-PROACH, nor our courts and judges in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours. R. C. Grant.
