Mexico has five distinct civilizations, traced as accurately as if the written documents had been handed down. The first proof of these five distinct civilizations is found in the excavations. Starting from the surface of the earth and going down, which I have seen the excavators do this past summer, each civilization is found to have written its story as clearly as if it had been written, as the Bible says, "with a pen of iron and the point of a diamond." The second proof of these civilizations is found in the figures that adorn the pyramids, in which we find apparent the clearest possible Mongolian, Egyptian, Chaldean, Negroid, Hindu, and American Indian influences. The third proof of these distinct civilizations and influences is seen in the painted, carved and sculptured figures which are being recovered by thousands. Everywhere you dig you find these relics of an ancient people. * * * That Africa also contributed its imprint to the civilizations of the Mexican plateau seems certain. In the faces of the unearthed idols, and on the carvings of the stones the Negroid influence is felt at every turn. I was present when Professor Niven unceried an idol that looked precisely like the American Negro. The first civilization was found at a depth of four to five meters. These people were the first ancestors of Mexico and were a nomadic race. In the first and deepest layer of earth the articles found are of coarse, unburnished clay. There were crude vessels without any handles or necks, as if the makers were merely imitating holes in the ground. Wm. L. Stidger, in Dearborn (Mich.) Independent.

"JIM CROW" TURNED DOWN Missouri Pacific Railroad Order "Jimi Crow" Signs Removed— St. Louis and San Francisco New York City.—The N. A. A. C. P. has won a pronounced victory against "jim-crow" segregation on the railways in southeastern Missouri. Segregation of colored and white people on cars and in stations, which is not permitted by the law of the state, was called to its attention by a white man with a colored wife. He reported "jim-crow" cars were being used illegally on the Missouri Pacific and the St. Louis and San Francisco railways. He also charged that the toilets at the stations were kept locked and the keys given only to white women. James H. Tantor, secretary of the St. Louis branch, N. A. A. C. P., has reported that the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway is still investigating the charges and that the Missouri Pacific Railroad has sent the following letter: Dear Sir: Your letter of April 8th with reference to conference in Mr. Vollmer's office on March 26th with regard to reported discrimination against colored people by Missouri Pacific Railroad employees on certain lines, and the report that we were maintaining signs on station waiting room doors at Charleston, Mo., sign on door to one waiting room reading "for white" and to the other waiting room reading "for colored." This is to advise that personal inspection made at Charleston on April 1 indicates that signs at one time maintained on waiting room doors have been removed. Train service employees, particularly those on passenger trains operating south of St. Louis, have been personally advised as to complaint made by your committee, and at the same time advised of the fact that so-called "jim-crow" law does not obtain in Missouri, and that this fact must be kept in mind and their work handled in such a way as to preclude just cause for complaint on the part of our colored patrons. Assuring you of our appreciation of your patronage, and at the same time soliciting the influence of your office in increasing colored patronage via Missouri Pacific, I remain, Yours truly, (Signed) R. C. WHITE, James Weldon Johnson RAOE INFERIORITY 19EA CAUSE OF WORLD WAR. Chicago, Ill. — James Weldon Johnson, h. secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., delivered an address before the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom at the University of Chicago. May 22, in which he asserted that ideas of race inferiorly underlay the causes of the world war. "It was this idea," asserted Mr. Johnson, "which made it possible for the powers of Europe to despoil Africa, and to allure this population as a set of mercy, the carrying of civilization to so-called inferior and lesser races. And it was the jealousy of the great European powers over the African host that led to the European war. This very same idea holds the threat of the next war. For the bankrupt powers of Europe cannot refrain from quarrelling over Central Africa, the richest reservoir of raw material in the world. The suspect means of abolishing war is to combat and abolish the idea of race inferiority. So long as white governments can ignore the rights of the native to his own sold and his right to enjoy the fruits of his own labor, just so long will there be no security against international warfare." FIGHT AGAINST K. K. K. Stires, Political Circles at The Nation's Capital—The Leading, Democratic Daily Newspaper's Comment on The Same: Washington, D. C.—Political circles here are stirred by the fight being made against the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana, by the N. A. A. C. P. and leading Afro-American newspapers. The New York World, of May 19, the leading Democratic daily in the country, quotes in full the N. A. A. C. P. telegram asking for Senator Watson's resignation from the committee investigating U. S. Senator Mayfield's campaign expenditures in Texas, on the ground of Senator Watson's Klan affiliations, and the World's Washington correspondent then makes this comment: "Ordinarily such communications either to the White House or the Capitol, would be dismissed with a non-committal reassurance, but Indiana is too critical a battleground this year for casual treatment. The Negroes cast, according to their organization report, 125,000 votes in Indiana. Anything approximating that number would have defeated a Republican candidate for President in the Hoosier State in any election ever held, except in the Harding landslide of 1920, and Cox would have beaten Harding that year had such a vote been transferred from the Republican to the Democratic column. Ordinarily the state is close. The Democrats have carried it about as often as the Republicans, and 20,000 is usually enough to determine how Indiana goes. The drive on Watson because of his traffic with the Klan, which only amounts to his having agreed to support his party's regular nominee under threat that if he did not the Klan would take the State organization away from him, may be the determining factor as to the Senator's Vice Presidential ambition." The World's correspondent further reports that Afro-American opposition to the Ku Klux Klan might throw enough votes to La Follette, in Indiana, to enable the Democratic vote to outspot the Republican. Pledge 8125-838 St. Louis, Mo.—Our residents of this city, participating in the three million dollar Y. M. C. A. development campaign, went beyond all previous records in their subscriptions. When the final reports were compiled, May 23, the total stood at $125,838. This sets a new high-water mark for the participation of our people in philanthropic enterprises, and it will stand for years to come as an inspiration to them in all future financial projects. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Garvey Stared at Du Bois—The Latter Pretended He Did Not See Him—Some Tense Moments In the Lobby of Hotel Sterling, Says Editor Dabney Cincinnati, O.—Last week Monday, morning, DuFol, "Alphabetical" (W. E. B.) DuBols, editor of The Crisis magazine, was in this city and had 10 a.m. breakfast at Hotel Sterling with Prof. W. P. Dabney, editor of our local publication, The Union. But let the latter tell about it. "As I (Dabney) journeyed to the hotel, I thought of how DuBois in the Crisis, only last month, had assailed the doctrines of Marcus Garvey, and personally called him 'everything he was big enough to call him; in short, things the reverse of complimentary.' We were saddened, for we knew Garvey's foreign blood (West Indian) and fiery temper. We prayed that the two would never meet, unless surrounded by minions of the law. We entered the Hotel Sterling office, found DuBois, and as we were early, the time was agreeably spent in a debrief-tape. " * * Fragrant odors in realms told us that a feast fit for the gods was in process of preparation or materialization. To the elevator we went. Waiting a moment, the door was suddenly thrown open, out stepped a guard of honor, consisting of several ladies splendidly costumed, and a stout dark gentleman, gorgeously appurved in military costume! Ye gods! " Twas Garvey. He saw me, a smile of recognition, then a glance at DuBois. His eyes flew wide open. Stepping aside, he stared; turning around, he stared, while DuBois, looking straight forward, head uplifted, nostrils quivering, marched into the elevator, seemingly 'all the world forgetting' but not by all the world forgot for Garvey was still gazing, perfited, as though uncertain whether 'twas really his arch foe who had been so near, and yet was getting, farther away every second. A sigh of relief escaped me as we entered the club. Immediately, I remarked. " I must compliment you upon your wonderful nerve, your coolness, your poise. The only "Commission on The Racial Question." Washington, D. C.—There was a meeting of the sub-committee of the Senate judiciary committee in the committee room in the capitol, last Saturday morning, for the purpose of considering Senate bill, No. 291. "Creating a Commission on the Racial Question." The editor of "The Old, Reliable" Gazette was extended a special invitation by Senator Selden P. Spencer, of Missouri, chairman of the committee, to attend the meeting. Wonders of Art First Art Student—I painted a winter scene so true to nature, that the thermometer in my room fell 20 degrees. Second Art Student—That's nothing. Yesterday I drew the picture of a hen so naturally that when I crumpled it up and threw it into the wastebasket it LAID there. Virgin Islands' Delegation Arrives. New York City—The Virgin Islands delegation, elected at the recent mass demonstration in St. Thomas to appeal directly to Congress to pass the bill granting the Islands a permanent form of civil government, arrived here, last week, on the S. S. Porto Rico, and proceeded to Washington, announces the local Virgin Islands committee. The delegation consists of Octavus Cato Granady, for the Island of St. Thomas; Ralph J. Bough, for St. Croix, and Frederick Gurty, for St. John. The bill, the passage of which they urge, grants citizenship, to Virgin Islanders in the islands and in this country, and provides for a civil government similar to the one in Porto Rico.

"What are you talking about?" said he. "Why, about your meeting with Garvey, just now. I expected him to attack you at once." "Are, you, crazy? Garvey? "'Are you crazy? Garvey? Where is Garvey?' 'Why, he stepped out of the elevator as we entered.' 'Stepped out of elevator? Garvey? Why I did not know it. I Dr. Wm. E. B. Du, Bols saw a man in uniform, but paid no attention.

"We ate, he chuckling with laughter as he thought of the meeting, and I a little serious at the thought of what might have happened. But 'All's well that ends well.'"

Wright, pastor, May 13, morning and afternoon. The devotions and address of welcome were made by Dr. Wright. Dinner was served by the ladies of the church. At the business session of the association in the afternoon, Dr. Wright was unanimously elected moderator for the ensuing year. This is the first time in its history that it has met at one of our churches and also to elect an Afro-American as moderator. The association composes twenty white churches and one of ours. A Girl Wins Contest. Chicago, Ill. — Eleanor Huber, (white), age 17, of Louisville, Ky., weighing only 75 pounds and scarcely 5 feet in height, won the zone elimination at Chicago in the National oratorical contest, last week.

SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1924 It is to be regretted that the type of man who used to talk from a box on the street corner is now, too frequently, being invited to talk through the radio. But the radicals are as resourceful as they are active. A financial paper asks why it is some people make their millions and then retire and try to keep other people from making money. Is Mr. Vanderlip expected to answer? COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION. If President Coolidge had the same regard for our people he has for ex-rebels, evidenced in his speech to Confederate veterans, last Sunday at Arlington, the insulting and shameful segregation in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service would long ago have been eliminated. No self and race respecting member of the race, a voter, can support high on election day, this fall, if he continues to permit that disgraceful condition to remain. One would think that our government employees, so grievously insulted and mistreated, were not regarded as AMERICANS by the President of this country. "Negroes," who are "whooping it up" for Coolidge in the face of his insulting and outrageous mistreatment of them and their people, ought to be made to hang their heads in shame. COOLIDGE AND O'NEILLE Both of Eugene O'Neill's plays, "The Emperor Jones," and "All God's Chillin Got Wings, and Welded," were built for the purpose of increasing prejudice against our race. "To show the demoralizing consequences of the marriage of a white and black" and to, "present an argument against miscegenation," in the most public manner possible, is the way one leading reviewer of the plays puts it. And yet you can find "Negroes" who praise these plays! Lord, have mercy! The value of the plays as artistic efforts, on the part of both author and actors, pales into insignificance, as far as we are concerned, when the harm their presentation does the race is taken into consideration. Then, too, from our standpoint what "demoralizing consequences" result from the "marriage of white and black"? NONE! From the prejudiced white's standpoint, there is at least one and that is miscegenate strikes a body blow at prejudice, their STRONGEST prejudice, too. Too bad, isn't it? This reminds us of the fact that President Coolidge caters to one phase of this very prejudice when he continues the miserable segregation of our government employees. Is he any better than President Thomas Woodrow Wilson who installed it? WITH FULL UNDERSTANDING. If the United States shall surrender on the merchant marine issue, it will be the first time we have deliberately pulled down the flag. It is true that in the first half century of the Republic this Nation led all others in the speed and efficiency and carrying capacity of her merchant ships, largely because this country had developed the fast clipper sailing vessels, and also true that following adverse legislation our shipping declined steadily from 1855 on, particularly during the Civil War, but this can hardly be said to have been a deliberate hauling down of the flag. Most people did not know what was happening. Now we shall act in the light of experience. We have seen an adequate fleet abandoned and then restored under a war emergency. We know that our merchant marine is now declining and is saved from complete destruction only by gov- ernment aid. We know that other governments, appreciating the value of merchant ships in time of peace or war, are affording aid to shipping under their flags. If we abandon the sea to our commercial rivals now, we shall do it knowingly and with full understanding of the consequences. PRIME SPORT NEWS The Brown's Playing Better Ball. Even if they did lose all four games to the Cuban stars, it was apparent to all that the local club has been improved. Fans must keep before them the fact that it takes more than a week or two to build a team that will beat the American Giants, the Detroit and Cuban Stars, all three old organizations and good ones, very good clubs. Manager Sol White is slowly but surely building and it will not be long before the local boys will begin to win and once started will keep up the good work. Last Saturday's game at Hooper field was won by the Cuban Stars. Sunday's double-header resulted in the scores: 6 to 2 and 4 to 1, the second game going only seven innings because of a down-pour of rain. Miles got a double in first and a triple in the second, the hurling corps performed well but the fracas fell down; all except Miles. Hamilton pitched the initial contest and then butted in the second fracas, but retired after pitching two innings. Gordon placed him on the mound and was touched for two runs in the fourth inning and another in the seventh. Miles was the only member of the local club to boost his batting average. The star outfielder obtained four of the seven hits made by the Brown's during the twin bill. First Game, Sunday Afternoon.

New York City—Harry Wills and Bartlett Madden will not meet for at least ten days, according to the promoters of the scrap who are undecided where to hold the bout now that the fire department has refused to sanction the holding in the old Queensboro A. C. stadium. The possibility of shifting the scene to New Jersey has been abandoned. 11 FIRMS' CHARTERS REVOKED Georgia Insurance Comptroller Orders Revocation of Service Co. Charters—Standard Life Ins. Co. Stockholders. Atlanta, Ga.—General Wm. A. Wright, Comptroller of Insurance for the state of Georgia has ordered the revocation of the charters of the subsidiary companies fostered by Heman A. Perry, the president of the Standard Life Insurance Company, and is reported to have placed the affairs of the Standard itself in the hands of Judge Powell, a southern white jurist. It appears that the Insurance Commission of Georgia is making a brave effort to save the company from going under and destroying the investment of the stockholders. By such action the Service Company the Service Company, the Service Engineering and Construction Company, and many other "Service Companies" are hereby dissolved and prohibited from further action and the money invested is lost. But Perry is attempting to organize another company naming it the Southern Realty Company and in the meantime a multiplicity of legal suits are hanging in the Georgia courts. Just how much money has been lost by the speculations of Perry and his associates is hard to estimate, but the "Atlanta Daily Post" carries the information that the reputed shortage of Standard Life alone is more than three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The stockholders of Standard will meet in July and it is perplexed to rumor that Heman Perry and William King director of agents, will be relieved of the very arduous duties at that time and supplanted by other men. It is too well realized that the future of a large old line legal reserve insurance company and a bank depends on the action of the stockholders. Decision On Garvey Postponed. New York City.—The decision of the Court of Appeals on the appeal of Marcus Garvey in the U. S. district court has been postponed until October, 1924. It was expected that Garvey would come up for sentence, next month, but the case has been postponed after several delays. The reason could not be learned. Garvey was convicted of using the mafs to defraud thousands of people, by sale of worthless stock in a steamship company. THE QUEENS CLUB Elects Officers and Enjoys An Elaborate Luncheon. (Special to the Gillette) Columbus, O.—The Queens club of the A. U.

DO YOU KNOW WHY --Colleges Often Turn Out A Bunch Of Misfits? THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O. BORAH DECRIES BIG DONATIONS UNUSUAL SUMS GIVEN Investigations Should Not Be Regarded As Acceptance of Inability of People To Rule, But As a Call to Public Duty. WASHINGTON. — So long as political parties seeking control of the government accept vast contributions from those who are interested in matters of legislation or administration there will be be "sister and corrupt and controlled government," said Senator Borah, Republican, in an address here before the attendees' Law Enforcement convention. "In these days," Borah said, "the government deals with all the vast concerns of business, coal, railroads, shipping, oil, tariffs, and it is simply intolerable that political parties accept vast contributions from those vitally interested in these matters. It is still worse for the parties to go on and solicit contributions from such individuals. Horse Selfishness." "These unusual sums are not given merely because of the common interest which partisans have in their parties. Both political parties have for years placed themselves in an indefensible position in these matters. It all leads to that sinister and subtil influence which does more to break down representative government than any specific instance of open bribe. Besides, the open bribe follows inevitably as a result of the former practice." Referring to the revelations before Senate committees, Senator Borah told his audience that these must not be accepted as an impeachment either of the American form of government or of the capacity of the people to rule. The bribe should be accepted as a "call to duty to preserve and to hand on to posterity that inheritance which our forbears gave into our keeping." Wife Wants Damages. NEW YORK — Corliss Palmer, "Georgia Peach," who has been living with her mother and sister on the sumptuous estate of Eugene Brewster, at Morristown, N. J., is being sued for $200,000 for alienating the movie millionaire publisher's affection by Mrs. Eleanor V. Brewster, the publisher's second wife. The papers were filed in the supreme court after a process server had visited Miss Palmer in the auction rooms where luxurious art objects, furs and jewelry are being disposed of, belonging to Brewster and his "protege." Mrs. Brewster refused to divorce her spite of his protestations that he loves the southern beauty and will marry her. Brewster provided a handsome alimony for his second wife in a separation agreement in 1922. He was divorced from his first wife, Mrs. Emily C. Brewster, in 1914. The publisher has recently built a three-story polar palace" in Morristown, N. J., for Corliss and her mother, Mrs. John Simone, and Inez Palmer. Renew War in Honduras. SAN SALVADOR, Republic of Salvador. —The revolutionary liberal forces have again taken the field in the hostilities prevalent in Honduras with two new Columns of troops to replace those rulled by rebel forces under the command of Gens. Angel and Arturo Matute and Simon Agallar, says a dispatch from Guatemala City. It is also reported that Policarpo Bonilla, liberal candidate, and Dr. Juan Angel, Arlas, Honduran government candidate in the recent elections, have effected a settlement of their differences thus resulting in a conciliation of the Honduran liberal party. In consequence of the agreement, a convention was signed pledging that neither Arlas nor Bonilla would be nominated for the presidency of Honduras. THE DEPARTMENT of the Interior has issued an order that Indian dances must be respectable, but it says nothing about white folk's dances, which will therefore continue as before. THE PRESIDENT SAYS that congress must get down to business. That heartens up the country and makes friends for the president, but it is hardly expected that congress will be interested.

NEW YORK—Negotiations for the establishment of a credit of between $25,000,000 and $50,000,000 for the government of Belgium, to be used in stabilizing its exchange through an operation similar to the $100,000,000 loan recently granted to the Bank of France, were reported under way. Rumors were given weight by a sharp rise in seventy-five points in the Belgium franc which sold above 5 cents for the first time this year. Members of J. P. Morgan & Co., who arranged the recent French credit, and would be expected to assume the leadership in handling the Belgium financing, refused either to confirm or deny reports that a loan was impending. Other bankers admitted that the proposal had been discussed. The success of the French government in combating the raid on the france is said to have injured Belgium to attempt similar measures, since bear speculators in the eagle exchase have been using their short selling activities from the French to Belgium and other continental currencies. While today's rise in the Belgian franc was attributed partly to settlement on March contracts the extent of the advance, which exceeded even the daily fluctuations, the French franc during its most active periods, was interpreted to indicate more than mere market operations. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contenting, after over 1900 years of ethnic discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature self-esteem have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Clean teeth the right way —with a dentifrice that does not scratch or scour.

REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atie Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO You advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination.

Ohio Afro-Americans Openly Insulted and Humiliated 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 delegate 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 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 behold we urge you to take your good office to see that we are justly accorded what we are asking for. We recognize Mr. Donithen, that to the richest 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 delegates-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 substitution of a member of our race for one of the seven persons announced in the convention. 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 not be back that day. The chairman of the state executive committee 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 person. The remaining members of the committee were Mr. Donithen and Mr. 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 "any day" and he would see it. To this Mr. Cox replied: "That is too indefinite. Donithen; we do not want a repetition of last Monday when the committee called to meet him on call on you and could not get in touch with you." He then coined 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 he was not present at 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 and paper in anyway the committee would be able to meet him at 12:34am, the date 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 Corx. "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 between one-thirty and three-thirty, without being darkened by the form of Mr. Donthen. For more than two hours, there we sat, smoked, chatted, 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 go, 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 state, and after about two and a half hours' waiting, the long-looked for Mr. Donthen entered and, after seeing another man did it with whom he arrived (Donthen's explained was 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, don't you think? I was standing when he entered and, after introducing myself, Editor Dahney and Rev. Webster. I read the folloowing: "Mr. Donthen, 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 what we are asking for. We recognize, Mr. Donthen, that to the vctor belongs the epolls, but we do not want to as job-seeking Republicans willing to enter the rights of our people for a political job or promise of such job, but we do come fully mindful of the fact that year after year we have labored, 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 in being with our loyalty to the party, I present to the old president above) for your careful consideration. Mr. Dabney will make a few remarks and then Rev. Webster. CHARACTER Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader-clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION A New York City business man (white), a close observer of matters political, wrote the editor of The Gazette the first of the week: "Primaries took place in Indiana, last Tuesday, but I do not understand how it was that in the southern counties of that state in which the colored vote is large, that is those counties along the Ohio river, that Mr. Jackson (Republican candidate for Governor), with K. K. K. support, was uniformly successful. Can you explain it?" Sure! First: Republican kluxers (white) in Indiana are numerous very numerous. Second: Afro-American Republicans in that state, as elsewhere throut the country, were so insulted and mistreated by the Harding-Coolidge administration, and have fared no better under the Coolidge administration, that they were and are still heartsick, and DID NOT VOTE IN ANY CONSIDERABLE NUMBERS at last week's primaries in Indiana; or Ohio and elsewhere for that matter. President Harding's most unfortunate and insulting Birmingham, Ala.'s speech; his retention of the Wilson administration's miserably insulting and degrading segregation in the departments at Washington, and elsewhere in the governmental service; his steadfast refusal to give Afro-Americans the recognition in the matter of Presidential appointments they were and are clearly entitled to, all of which, except the Birmingham speech, President Coolidge is also guilty of, are the main causes of the HEARTSICKNESS which, as we have already said, is GENERAL among Afro-Americans. And it is this very thing that is going to have the same effect at the polls in November that it had at the primaries last Tuesday, and thus contribute largely to the defeat of Calvin Coolidge, Republican nominee for President, unless that most insulting segregation is removed at once and enough recognition in the way of Presidential appointments given—before election, this fall—to convince Afro-Americans generally that he means to treat them fairly AFTER election. As the writer told President Warren G. Harding in the White House, one year ago this month, Afro-Americans were not simply "sore" with his administration—he had remarked that some of them were apparently so—but were HEARTSICK, and we made it perfectly clear to him why they were. He listened to us carefully throut our long talk and had he lived, we verily believe, would have done his utmost to undo the wrongs complained of: Something President Calvin Coolidge does not seem to pay the least attention to in spite of the many protests that have been made to him since he took office as Harding's successor. With the Harding and Coolidge administrations continuing the insulting policy of the Democratic Wilson administration, as far as segregation and lack of presidential appointments to office are concerned, what difference does it make to our people who is president, a Democrat or a Republican? That is why so many 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 threat may be averted, the relatives may be averted, and the 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 or the humour of enemies. SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1924 LOAN WILL HELP REMAKE GERMANY Solvency of Economic Problem Will Aid World. READY FOR LEADERS High Ideals Have Followed the Warfil General Feeling in Germany Is That Religion Offers Solution of Present Misery and Unrest. ST. LOUIS.—"Adjustment of reparations and a loan to Germany will put the nation on a sound economic and political basis in a few years" Dr. Otto Melle, Frankfort Germany, said here. "If these two things are not accomplished, Germany and Europe at large will remain in unrest. Dr. Melle is head of a Methodist Episcopal theological school in Frankfort. He is a delegate to the Methodist general conference in Springfield, Mass.: "Germany still looks to America with confidence," he said. "With the aid of the United States, Germans believe, a lasting reconciliation between France and Germany can be reached. All Germany awaits the report of the Davenport reparations commission in hope that it will offer a workable plan." Germany Wants Peace. "Solution of the economic problem will solve, automatically, the political problem of Germany. People are afraid that much money pay much attention to politics. At the same time, they are willing to follow new leaders, who promise relief. The return of the crown prince to Germany failed to cause a ripple except among a few of his old friends and array officers. "Immediately after the war the prevailing sentiment in Germany was that the Rub occupation the sentiment against France grew. Germans feel that the League of Nations is not representative of world opinion without Germany and the United States included in its membership. "High ideals have followed the war. A temperance movement is well and way ahead, and a local opinion is growing on the next relegation. Churches are filled to overflowing. There is a wide feeling that religion offers the solution of present misery and unrest." A. B. Promoter Arrested. CHICAGO.-From the head of a $30,000,000 promotion concern to a robber facing a charge of accessory to murder within a year is the story told by Russell T. Scott, formerly of Cleveland and Toronto, Canada, held in connection with the killing of Joseph Maurer, a drug clerk in a store in the heart of the business district. Scott says at one time he was vice president of the R. T. Scott Company, Ltd., of Toronto, which had branches in a dozen cities and a payroll of 800 names. He helped to promote the Detroit-Windsor international bridge, he says. When a Boston woman filed a $50,000,000 charge against a criminal Scott, already married, left Toronto, and the business went into a receiver's hands, he says. He has admitted being a partner of his brother, Robert, in the drug store holdup, which occurred within two blocks of the detective bureau and across from the city hall while theater crowds walked by, according to the police. He first admitted the shooting, police say, but later declared it was done by his brother, police, police say, robbing more than twoscore drug stores and haberdasheries during the last few weeks. Arrested with Scott was Helen Bullard, who is held with her brother, Rox Bullard, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Devine, but police have not disclosed any results of questioning them. HOWEVER, CONGRESS is discouraging the pests who run around with nominating petitions asking us to sign them so they can run for office. The jolly boxing public should know just about where Harry Wills stands in the general scheme of heavyweight things when he gets through with Bartley Madden at Queens, N. Y., the night of May 13. Wills' friends and admirers have insisted for three years that Dempsey is afraid of the "Black Panther" stuff. Others have figured never has proved in the ring against Wills, and he right to a fight with Jacqueline. Madden is a tough bird and should give Wills his chance to make good. Death Rate Increases From Auto Accidents Death Rate Increases From Auto Accidents Ohio Statistics Show Need For Safety Prevention. COLUMBUS.—With one automobile for virtually every six persons in Ohio, the death rate from automobile accidents at the close of 1923 was 3.8 per cent greater per 100,000 population than for 1922, it is shown in figures made public by C. Jummer, chief of the bureau of the state department of health. A tabulation of accidents revealed that 1078 persons were killed by automobiles alone, while 157 others were killed when struck by trains or street cars while riding in automobiles. At the close of 1923, automobiles registered in Ohio numbered 1,070,360. The death rates from accidents were 17.6 per cent. Only seven of the eighty-eight counties in the state did not report deaths from automobiles. They were Carroll, Union, Monroe, Morgan, Paulding, Union, Van Wert andinton. Twenty-pair of other counties reported a death rate than the average for the state. Cuyahoga county reported the greatest number of facilities with 215 killed in 1923, as compared to 192 in 1922. The rate of fatalities in 1922, Hammock county was second with 109 killed in 1923, a death rate of 21.5. Eighty-six were killed in 1922 in Hamilton county in auto mishaps. Lucas county reported the third highest number of deaths with 65 fatalities in 1923, in order to call public attention to the increasing number of fatalities, the Ohio Public Health association has prepared a chart based on the data compiled by Statistician Plummer for distribution purposes on the organizational state. The chart shows an increase of eleven per cent in number of automobiles and 29 per cent increase in the number of fatalities. Drys Raid Washington. WASHINGTON. - Stirred by recent charges of a laxity of prohibition enforcement here, police and prohibition agents, casting aside their petty differences, swooped down on the city's known wet spots and by noon enmeshed 100 prisoners and 600 gallons of doubtful liquor there. Officers of the vice squad and prohibition agents led raiding parties in very section of the city. A majority of the arrests were made in Negro centers and the liquor, police reported, consisted chiefly of the doubtful variety of corn whisky and gin. A CHICAGO FIRM offers to provide graduatingocrats and essays for non-literary commencement orators. That would be the natural procedure in these schools where you buy your diplomas. WILLIAM J.

NOW WE ARE INFORMED that "the good old days" merely made us feel good, but it was a wondrous hallucination. ABOUT THE ONLY WAY we can see remaining to popularize congressional investigation would be to prohibit them. IF BERGDOLL COMES back no doubt there will be an investigation to ascertain why he did so.

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 MOBS. 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.

Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BBS. ed. r. representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. nd costs in tax levy. s. inst member of mob. nst another county. imprisoned not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse 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 text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's of Civic Rights law which the editor and enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: Federal Code of Ohio: Sec. 1294. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an in-house restaurant, eating house, bar-sharer, public conveyance by land or water, other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable allike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 1294. Whoever violates the man-made section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby, 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 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 Act had not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding 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, the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I would under a separate cover, the Ohio Law- porter 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, would have been have no occasion for court action. THIS LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER PROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money.
