K. K. PAMPHLETS Being Sent Eastern Ministers Are Thoroly "Dissected"! Ku Kluxers Now Appealing Especially To White Protest Ministers—They Are "Liars and Cowards, and Not Fit to Govern Anyone," Says Dr. Byr (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.-Some person mailed to me from the Grand Central Station post office, New York City, four pamphlets outlining the purposes and plans of the Ku Klux Klan. The pamphlets are as follows: "Ideals of the Ku Klux Klan." "Principles and Purposes of Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." "Public School Problem in America" and "The Menace of Modern Immigration." I have read these publications. Those who wrote them are ignorant of the rules of consistency; besides the pamphlets abound in direct contradictions. I quote: "The Klan has no fight to make upon any man because of his political affiliations. Political affiliations. Just above this passage is this: "No man can be a member of the Klan unless he is a white protestant." In addition to this, the pamphlets abound in abuse of the Negro preachers who oppose it, denies that this country is the home of the black man, calls upon white Americans to deny the colored races even a share in the government of this country and has a tirade against white Americans who because of the franchise of colored constituents. Dr. William A. Byrd. take cognizance of their wants. Evidently the Klan, in scanning the minutes of church courts, felt that Lafayette Presbyterian was a white church; hence its pastor was white. ATLANTIC'S "JIM GROWISTS!" Prof. Neval Thomas Flayed Segregation Before The Large Audience of Whites on Garden Pier. Atlantic City, N. J.—Prof. Neval H., Thomas of Dunbar High School, Washington, D. C., as announced in The Gazette of May 24, '24, addressed a gathering of more than two thousand whites on the Garden Pier on Monday night, May 19, on the damaging results of segregation that will come to both races, if the city completes the segregation schemes fostered, by a few "jind crow" Negroes and their white allies. A large number of whites heard his speech the evening before at. Fitzgerald's hall, and immediately invited him to tell the whites who were being won over to segregation who were to meet, May 19, for political discussion on the Garden Pier out in the ocean. "Segregation," he said, "does infinite injustice to white and black alike. Already the Colored children are huddled into an antiquated frame structure, a veritable fire trap, for primary instruction, while the The Ku Klux Klan is nothing more than the policy the south has maintained toward the colored race for fifty years, put into a form for lodge purposes and by this means it hopes to get the country at large lined up with the South in a secret way. The Klan appeals especially to white evangelism. Those men constitute the backbone of this yule and vicious order. Throughout its literature, it opposes Jews, Negroes, Catholics and foreigners. It calls itself a protest order, and this is a lie; for in the next breath it prevents all protestant that are not cowards of the type of its leaders, from entering the order. Its appeal to white men is to uphold this country as "the white man's," and when any other race does not like its policy, "let them get out." When anyone hears that the Ku Klux Klan is not opposed to Negroes, let him not be deceived. It is the unrelenting foe of self-respecting Negroes. It is a band of cowards, operating under the guise of a trafarian whose sole purpose is to get the country at large to take the southern attitude toward colored people, Jews, Catholies and naturalized Americans. The Klan professes to not interfere with the running of the government and yet it lays down certain things that this government must do and to see that it is done; it initiates the officers of the law into the black mysteries of the Klan, and then the oath of the government. No man, a member of this secret order, accepting its principles, is fit to govern any one. It professes to be against mobs, and yet its very tenets are the fagots upon which the mob feeds. It claims to be Christian and yet its whole aim is the accomplishing of the most damnable and hellish purposes that any order can possibly achieve. One of its avowed tenets is, the Negro is an inferior being and is not entitled to the American standard of being treated as a man. Throughout the entire work of this unlawful order a thread of hate runs. It hates the Jew because he is industrious and keen in finance. It hates Negro ministers; that fight it and classes them with the boot-leggers and lawbreakers. A fair investigation of the purposes and plans of this order will show that it is a monace to America and the peace of this country. If Protestantism must grow by means of this vicious order, at deserves to fail! (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. white children have the magnificent modern brick and stone structures, the last word in educational equipment. In the high school, that splendid two-million-dollar institution built from the pockets of blacks as well as whites, the talk of segregation and even exclusion is rampant already. They have closed the swimming pool rather than allow Nogroboys and girls to bathe in it. Unless you halt the damaging infringement upon the fundamental rights of childhood, you do hurt to the entire citizenry! New York and Boston, and many other northern communities prove the practicability of democratic education. I appeal to you of another race, co-workers in the building and maintenance of our common country to stamp out this growing evil of discrimination in this great oceanside resort." It was the first time an Afro-American had been invited to speak on Garden Pier, but the audience cheered loudly the appeals against segregation and the workings of the Ku Klux who are behind the "jim crow" Negroes who are sponsoring the segregation movement in this city. The vast majority of our people here are against it, led by Atty's James, Lightfoot and Isaac Nutter. A large number of the whites are supporting them. ^ Ernest Noble, Hero! New York City—Lying on a cot in St. Vincent's hospital, last week, was Ernest Noble, heroic elevator operator, halled as a hero by the press, the public and fourteen passengers of the elevator he operated after his cool-headedness had saved the lives of the occupants of the car when it took a sudden plunge downward, nine stories. The car tore loose from its cables at the tenth floor and Noble labored frantically at a broken brake mechanism until he brought the lift into operation only a few feet from the bottom of the shaft. The public in general has freely commented on his wonderful demonstration in time of such peril. NOW KELLY'S AFTER DuBOIS! Like Garvey He Hits Back at the Pan African Congress Promoter. Washington, D. C. Replying to the criticism, of his "Sanhedrin" conference, held in Chicago in February, by Editor Wm. E. B. Dibolla, of The Crisis, Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of junior college at Howard University, issued a statement, a part of which reads as follows: "Some one called my attention to the May issue of the Crisis, which contains a pointed criticism of the Sanhedrin by the learned, and brilliant editor." As usual the opinion breathes an air of finality for which the learned editor is famous. He [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. Procl. Wm. E. B. DuBois, helittles the movement because it did not indulge in various denomination and sonorum pronouncements on housing, intermarriage, union labor and the Kux Klux Klan. One wonders if the learned editor has his griq on domestic conditions during his brief sojourn abroad. While plashing the clichés of the Parlament Conference and functioning for the moment as envoy xarimorhiy to the Court of Monrovia, perhaps the common place procedure of the Negro Sanhedrin seemed prosaic and tame. Garvey in his robes as Emperor of Africa and DuBois arrayed in the glamor and glory of ambassadorial splendor form indeed interesting spectacle⁴ for the American Negro to look at.⁵ ONLY ONE SOLUTION! Some Rare But Interesting and Truthful Statements Aent The Southern Problem. "What is the solution to the Nec- question?" "There's only one: amalgamation!" The man who said this to me was then an Alabama Congressman, conservative, non-alarmist, who still stands high in state and nation. "But, above everything, don't quote me! My political life wouldn't be worth that if you did. . . . You see," he continued, "it's going on now. . . . All the time. It always has. Read your statistics on the increase of mulattoes. It's a pity that it's the lowest elements of both races that unite; but . . . it's going on." In slavery, a state of concubination between the master and comely slaves was permitted. . . . There are those who state that certain strong-minded white mistresses played the same game, as a fitting payment to their catholic spouses. Certain leading white men had two families, the white and the near-white. There was a State Senator who was half-brother to a Negro door-tender at the Capitol—a Negro so light that visitors mistook him for the white brother. In slavery, it was to a large extent the better class of each race which intermingled. . . . And yet, the mixing continues. There are still the double families in scattered locations. There is still the occasional case where the white woman, accepts a Negro lover—Element Wood in "The Nation," N. Y. City. Leaves Fiancee, $20,000.

Knight Ridicules Congressman Foster's Effort To Create A "Commission On The Racial Question" And Says, If Created, It Will Be "Kicked in the Pants, and Booted and Hooted from the Ohio to the Rio Grande" Just Like the 13th, 14th and 18th Amendments—An Administration Akron, O.—The following editorial from a local daily paper, the Akron Beacon-Journal, of May 28, 2014, is of particular interest to our people just at this time, especially those in Ohio. The Akron-Journal editor and owner is ex-Congressman Charles Landon Knight, one of Coolidge's Ohio delegates—at-large to the National Republican convention to convene in Cleveland, next week. Two years ago, Mr. Knight was one of the seven or eight candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor who left "sore" over a painful manner in which he was treated, in common with several other candidates, namely the Hon. Homer Durand, Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith and the Hon. Harry Clay Smith, editor of The Gazette (Read the articles in columns 1, 2 and 3, page 4 and the editorial on page 2 headed, "Donithen and Knight," in connection with the following.-Editor.) Following is Editor Knight's leader, referred to above: "ASK MR. FOSTER" "ASK MR. FOSTER Glory, Halleluja! Brethren another uplift commission is on the way. This time it is the downtrodden black man who is to be snatched as a brand from the burning by our tender and thoughtful mother, the great U. S. of America; and, of course, at the expense of the taxpayers, Representative Foster of Ohio, whom heretofore we have known and esteemed as an earnest and sensible person is the father of the Colored Industrial Commission bill which he introduced into congress and which is reported out, by the judiciary committee for consideration. The commission is to consist of five members, three of whom shall belong to the negro race, and each shall draw in addition to traveling and other expenses, the sum of $5,000 a year, except the chairman who shall receive $7,000. It is hardly necessary to say in the language of the bill "that the said commission is authorized to appoint such clerks, agents or investigators, attorneys and assistants as may be necessary for the conduct of the business for which said commission was created." This brings us to what it is all about. Briefly it is to "study the economic conditions of the negro, to study the labor problems in which the negro is interested, to stimulate and encourage thrift, among the negroes of the United States, to "promote the general welfare of the negro in industrial pursuits; to give aid and to encourage the general uplift of the negro, to work out plans for the solution of the different problems confronting, the negro race of the United States," and, of course, to suppress the terrible ravages that Bolshevism is making upon his ranks. It is hardly necessary to say that no uplift bill can omit a vicious stab at the terrible Bolshevists. Now when the negro gets that bill he will be all set for the millenium. Indeed, how anybody can go wrong under its most comprehensive terms it would, be most difficult to imagine. That his "economic condition" will yield up all its difficulties andor those. studious gentlemen ably assisted by "such necessary clerks, agents, investigators, attorneys, and assistants" no one can for a moment doubt. Once created, armed, and put into action, these valorous students will earnestly and fiercely resolve that there is no reason on earth why capable negroes are not now employed in all cotton mills, dry goods stores and other places of human endeavor south of the Potomac, and such a resolution coming before the body of which Mr. Foster is now a distinguished member, it will, of course, pass the necessary deigslation to see this is done. The fact that similar legislation which it has already passed, including the three amendments to the constitution, has been kicked in the pants, and booted and hooted from the Ohio, to the Rio Grande, will make no difference whatever. This time the thing will work, at least until next November when the negro vote will be wanted, and after that the illustrious congress will remark in the language of another great Ohioan. "Forget it, anyway what is the constitution between friends." Indeed a congress that has been so afraid of offending the south as to fail to obey the plain command of the constitution to re- IN-UNION IS STRONG RE COPY FIVE CENTS sters! Charles L. Knight Human Foster's Effort Commission On The Question" Will Be "Kicked in the Pants, from the Ohio to the Rio the 13th, 14th and 18th on Administration asure duce representation when its rights have been denied to voters, is not the most hopeful agency in the world to secure these attitudes for the negro just now. But having secured these blessings for him in the south, it will CHARLES L. KNIGHT. then be in order for the investigators and uplifters to take stock of the case in the north. We would suggest, for instance, that Mr. Foster's uplifters come out to Ohio. We fought valorously here to free the negro and to give him all the privileges, rights and immunities enjoyed by the rest of us. We shall therefore experience no trouble in finding any first rate hotel ready to care for all the material wants of any colored person, who wearying of the exertion of beating carpets decides. to seek the joys of its polite and refined atmosphere for the evening. The golf courses will show a liberal number of colored people, at least on Sundays, and down at Athens where Mr. Foster lives, as here at Akron, no doubt the employees around the court house, city halls and in the stores will represent a fair proportion of the colored race. But if not, why not? If the thing has not happened yet, then illustrious predecessors of Mr. Foster must also have indulged in some very palpable political bunk, and the question therefore arises, if the government has been unable to regulate these things by the bunk it has already given us how is it going to do so by more bunk. Inasmuch as the great Nordic race, that loves to talk such delightful idiosyncrasy about its high motives, has been unable or unwilling to do more in the past than to deserve the negro with hypocritical gestures, what right have we to expect anything better from Mr. Foster's bill. If the government admits, as it has admitted, that it cannot enforce that part of the constitution relating to the negro, then there would seem very little hope indeed from a mere statute. Indeed, the only members of the race that would be benefited by Mr. Foster's bill would be the three negro politicians who would get the jobs on the commission. The vast majority of the clerks, investigators, attorneys, agents and assistants would be white and not colored politicians. But treating the idea with that seriousness which it does not deserve, we should like to ask Mr. Foster a question or two. Why should we not have an Indian Industrial Commission? The Red Man is surely a real American and considering the time he has been here he should be about a hundred and two percent. If we may believe even the reports of governmental agencies whose chief purpose, seems to be graft and mismanagement of Indian affairs, he certainly needs not only uplifting but a chance to that life. Liberty and pursuit of happiness that we so love to talk about. If the real answer is that he has no votes, as one more than suspects it would be, then how about the other nationalities we have on (Continued on Page 2) @EBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY ‘SUBSCRIPTION RATES ‘Advance ne Year OTnetere nee 5 + 42.00 Mx Mouths ........000...-. 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by ostoffice money order or reg istered letter.

In this Congress it failed of passage over the Coolidge veto by only one vote, In the last Congress the attempt to pass the bonus bill over the Fagding veto failed in the Senate.

President Vauclain of the Baldwin Locomotive Works is one of the Keenest business men in the coun- try. He has recently visited Mexico City to book some large contracts for his company and has been much impressed with the growing prosper- ity of the Mexicans. He advises ev- ery exporter to visit Mexico and get information at first hand. Building dooms and large attendance at trade schools of the working classes con- vinced Mr. Vauclain that Mexico is advancing rapidly, As the resources of Mexico yield to development, the demand for machinery and other equipment will steadily increase. ‘The United States is tho logical source of those supplies and our manufacturers should be on the alert to get in touch with purchasers and secure contracts before their foreign competitors, Credit will doubtless have to be extended generously, but improvement in the political and eco- nomic situation in the country, cou- pled with the highly intelligent at- titude toward Mexico assumed by the Republican administration at Wash- ington, indicates safety for such transactions. i LEGISLATIVE ENCROACHMENT. ‘The radicals in the Senate are the anes who aro attempting to breal down the courts, and particularly the U. $.

But it was pot repeated in the Democratic plat- form of 1916, nor in 1920.

Donithen of Marion was as much of an un- known quantity in Ohio, as. else- where, from a political viewpoint, before the Coalidge people unearth- ed him as was the whereabouts of King Tut's tomb for many, many years. On page 4, columns 1 and 2 [of this paper, the reader will get ‘the additional information, relative to Donithen, he or she may desire, and learn also how he came to de- cide upon Editor Knight as one of the Ohio candidates for delegate-at- large to the Republican National convention to convene in this city, next week. In doing this, Hoke “rode rough shod” over the more than 200,000 Ohio Afro- American yoters, not only deny- ing them what they were and are clearly entitled to and what they re- spectfully demanded in good time, but added an aggravating insult to the denial that 1s going to cost Coolidge many votes at the polls in November. Add to this, President Coolidge’s segregation of our em- ployes in the departments at Wash- ington, and elsewhere in the govern- ment service, in spite of our protests of many months, and his steadfast refusal to give our people the rec- ognition in the way of Presidential appointments we are also clearly en- titled to, and it will not take any one but a fool long to learn how Intelligent Ohio Afro-Americans feel, these days, and what they will or rather WILL NOT DO, in November, the Negro political bootlicker to the contrary notwithstanding. But back to Candidate Charles L. Knight, Georgia-born, personal friend and still admirer and biographer of the rebel leader, Jeff Davis, who Knight says, “‘was not a conspirator, was not a rebel, was not a traitor, but was a statesman with clean hands and a pure heart.” ‘The foregoing quotation is from a circular issued two years ago, against Charles Lan don Knight, then a candidate for the Republican nomination for Gov: ernor of this state, by Councilmar ‘Thomas W_ Fleming, May Kibby McLeod and Sydney B. Thompson, members of Maurice Maschke's Re publican organization of Cleveland and Cuyahoga county, Ohio, which is also supporting President Cool- idge. Congressman Foster's “Com: mission on the Racial Question” bill is a Coolidge administration meas- ure, too. Editor Knight, as we have said, is a Coolidge delegate-at-larec to next week’s convention, He char. acterizes Mr, Foster’s bill as “su. premely ridiculous,” and in recent weeks, in his paper, the Akron Beacon-Journal, refused to endors¢ the high-handed way in which Dont. then and Montgomery went about ‘the selection of their hand-picked candidates (all white) for delegates. at-large, and he (Knight) one o! them.

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 ed 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?” was standing of the state of Ohio, after introducing myself, Editor Dabney and Rev Webster, I read the folloowing: “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 think for themselves, and in their behalouw we urge you to use your good office to see that we are justly accorded what we are asking for. We recog 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 large of the seven delegates at-large to the Republican Naiad National Convention, and their loyalty to the party is unquestioned, this conference, of Afro-American Republican voters of Ohio, potentially requests the substitution of a member of our race for one of the seven persons announced as having been recently selected as Ohio's candidates for delegates at-large to the next Republican National Convention. The following were named as a committee to present the foregoing resolution to Chairman Montgomery of the State Republican Executive Committee and to the Hon. Hoke 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 man returned to the conference and 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 the committee. The committee agreed to meet Chairman 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: "That is too indefinite. Mr. Donithen told me the duration 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 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 and send him. From nearby 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 Donithen'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 sat in the room, 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. Donithen. 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 it, we say, the door would open. Finally, 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. Donithen entered the room, who had arrived after we did but whom his secretary (Donithen's) explained was a delegate from California and want- ed to catch a train, Mr. Donneth 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 Dabney and Rev Webster, I read the folloowing: "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 what we are asking for. We recognize, 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 year after year we have labored, added, Republican of your race and vote, the grand party, 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 you this resolution (published above) for your careful consideration. Mr. Dahney will make a few remarks and then Rev. Webster. On Baltimore Democratic Ticket Baltimore, Md.—While Indiana Republicans cut loose from the Afro-Americans' support and lined up with the Ku Klux Klan. Democrats here nominated John Blankett for the legislature. Says Mr. Blankett: "I belong to a party which will not put a man on the ticket and then vote him like local. Republicans knifed two colored candidates for the legislature. Next fall I will want the votes of my people, but I did not need them to get the nomination." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1924 COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION A New York City business man (white), a close observer of matters political, wrote the editor of The Gazette a few weeks ago: “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 the recent primaries in Indiana; or Ohio and elsewhere for that matter. President Harding's most unfortunate and insulting Birmingham. Ala. 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 recent primaries 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 thrust our long talk and had he lived, we verily believe, would have done his utmost to unde 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 of our voters in Indiana, Ohio and throughout the North refused to vote at the recent primaries and will not vote in November unless President Coolidge and his advisors heed their demand and promptly, too, for the treatment loyal American citizens are entitled to. BANKS NAMES FIVE! "Negroes" Whom Donithen is Said To Have Conferred With—Engrave The Names in Your Memory. Dayton, O., March 23, '24. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—Information has just come to the Abraham Lincoln Republican club of this city that the Republican "race leaders," who greet Mr. Republican State Executive committee in its decision, not to indorse a Color person as a candidate for delegates-large to the Republican National convention to meet in Cleveland in June, are (named by Hoke Donithen): Charles Cottrell of Toledo; Atty. Wilbur King of Columbus; Prof. W. S. Scarborough and Carl Jenkins of Wilberforce, and Fred D. Patterson of Greenfield. These constitute only a part of those who were seen, they said. These names would have been in your hands before this, had we gotten them sooner. Elevates A Priest Elevates A Priest.

OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars from the county in which assault the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood, or in another form, a sum not exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched. If any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and allike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share, and the minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of the intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching. in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for court fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any A person presses with contempt such mob. A person presses with contempt at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6228. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed must be the same county of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, gence on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negli- been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: **OBS.** need. g. a representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. nst member of mob. nst another county. MOBS. Imprisoned not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse 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 Ohio Civil Rights law which the opinion had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940 Whoever, being the proletariat or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public convenance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation or for reasons denoted to a citizen for reason or necessity to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be found not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941 Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay five hundred dollars or more than five hundred dollars, or more son 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 foolishly manufactured outtery for the passage of the Boaty hill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: --- Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter, to the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to ask you to separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. The Beacon-Journal had known when going on in its own town, there would be a court for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours. R. C. Grant. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money.
