Dear Sir:—Your paper carried an article, last week, which gave the names of persons, candidates for nominations for various offices. What I desire to call your attention to is the affix, "Negro," after the name, Harry Clay Smith. In that article, No prefix or affix appeared with any other name in the list. I am sorry that your standard of American citizenship has retrograded to the extent that you can thus brand citizens. Newspapers have been looked upon as sentiment-builders and message-carriers. Sentiment, which is intended to array one class of citizens against another, is no part of the democracy that millions of American citizens of many nationalities, assembled to do service in the recent world's conflict, were told to defend, as well as a flag that represented JUSTICE. Can we with one hand decorate the unknown graves of millions who sacrificed their lives on Flanders field yonder, while with the other we insult thousands, of the heroes of that conflict? The Press can afford to be fair and just to all and ought to be. Millions of one hundred per cent American citizens expect you to be. Square yourself on this subject. "In glaring head lines."

The public hearing on the petition was set for June 17. The suit is the result of litigation brought by Rev. L. G.

In addition to the bank, the Wright family has been engaged in promoting several interlocking stock-jobbing and money collecting projects, among which was the notorious United Community Stores Co., the American and African Tourist Co., the L B. Thompson Wrecking and Construction Co., the Mutual Sick and Benefit Association and the Wright Reality Concern. This "sounds" so much like that "holding company" in Atlanta and the Standard Life Insurance Co. trouble that one cannot but recall them, at this time. Mothers Sentenced to "Pen" Take Children With Them—Two Brothers Sent to Reform School at the Same TIME — The Chivalrous South Houston, Tex.—Three suckling babies passed through here, recently, on their way to the penitentiary. They are charged with no crime, but their mothers, all sisters; two brothers, and their grandfather, were convicted of assault with intent to murder the Board County sheriff and his deputies when they made an official visit to the farm operated by them. The brothers, Eugene, 12, and Nathaniel, 14, were sentenced to the reform school. Their grandfather, Luke, and the three women, Bertha, Levy and Mandy, were sentenced to the state farm for from two to three years. The babies are Emma Sue, 7 months old; May Lou, 8 months old; and Baby Cloud, 3 months old. The entire family are members of the race and gave their surnames as Wells. Dr. J. Goulden Penn Dippee Dr. L. Garland Penn Deposed. Springfield, Mass.-At the recent meeting of the general conference of the M. E.

The result of the conference's action places our schools under the same management as it's other schools. Gov. James M. Cox Said so and There Are Some "Jim-Crow Negroes" Who Subscribe to the Same Columbus, O., June 14, 24. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend, I am enclosing your receipt for $25—your entrance fee as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio. I gave your platform to the Columbus, Dispatch, also to The Citizen, leading local daily papers, but I do not believe that they published it. Both of the papers mentioned your candidacy, however. They promised me that they would insert your platform. You know that four years ago, Gov. James M. Cox, then the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, said publicly that this is a white man. Most of the women are with him in this. It would not be so bad if quite a "bunch" of our people did not think the same way. I am hoping that you will get a large vote again, if for no other reason than to show Ohio and the country that a large number of our people do not believe that this is "a white man's country," exclusively. Anything that I may be able to do for you. I assure you I will gladly do. Yours truly. A. B. Male. CARDINAL QIBBIONS INSTITUTE ligages a Principal, an Assistant And Mattron—New Members of Its Board of Trustees. Washington, D. C. - Mr. Victor Daniel, of the Manual Training school, Bordentown, N. J., has been engaged as principal of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, to take effect July 1, at a meeting of the board of the school, June 6, at board also engaged Mrs. Daniel as assistant-principi and matron. Mr. Daniel is a graduate of Tuskegee, He taught at St. Joseph's College, Montgomery, Ala., conducted by the Josephite Fathers, and later at Tuskegee. Here, in addition to other duties, he was assistant to the commandant, Major Ramsay. He has been at Bordentown, a state school for our people, for the past six years, as commandant and dean of the boys' department. Mrs. Daniel is a graduate of Atlanta University, and has had several years' experience, teaching in Tuskegee and several other institutions in the South. At the same meeting of the board of trustees, four prominent Afro-Americans were added; N. T. Velar, of Pittsburgh; Prof. Thomas Turner, of Howard University and Hampton Institute; Miss Caroline L. Cook, a public school teacher of Baltimore, who has served as chairman of the Baltimore Cardinal Gibbons Institute auxiliary; and Mrs. Minnie T. Wright, secretary of the Boston Cardinal Gibbons Institute committee. The executive building will have at least two Afro-American representatives in addition to the principal of the school. The main building of the institution is under construction and the school will be opened about October 1. The boys and girls will be in separate departments. The regular academic department will begin with the sixth grade and continue as rapidly as possible with complete high school, and later beyond. Students desiring to learn trades will be admitted, and if not able to take the regular academic work, will be put in special academic classes. It is not expected, however, that ordinarily students will be admitted until they have completed their home schools. Certificates of character will be required from local pastors and from others. STILL AFTER THEM The Cleveland Gazette attacks the Hon. Charles L. Knight in its issue of June 7th, for his attack on the proposition to create a commission to deal with the racial question. He places him in the category with Hon. Hoke Donithen of "no Negro delegate to the Republican National Convention tame." While not specifically committing himself to the commission plan, Editor Smith shows that both of these gentlemen have racial antipathies to the colored people in this country. This distinguished Ohioan is making a record-breaking fight and is pursuing a consistent course throughout. His support and the support of his host of friends are absolutely necessary to complete Republican success in the Buckeye state and we hope, in view of the patriotic work done at Cleveland by the great Republican organization in according to Negroes proper recognition, the breach may be healed and the principles, for which this great leader has been contending, duly recognized in his own state—Richmond (Va.)

Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, has again entered as a candidate before the primaries for the nomination for governor, on the Republican ticket, was a source of great satisfaction to his many friends in this city. The services Mr. Smith has rendered to our people in this state are too well known to need recounting. The many readers of The Gazette, which has appeared on time and without missing an issue for over forty years, know the consistent and uncompromising attitude he has maintained throughout this long period of time on the race question. In addition, he has a brilliant record as a member for three terms, six years, of the Ohio General Assembly where he has to his credit the Ohio Civil Rights law and the Ohio Anti-lynching law, pioneer legislation which is recognized as the effective act against that barbaric practice and the model upon which the Dyer bill, now in the national Congress, was drawn. While these facts are pretty generally known over the state, he has more strongly endured himself to the citizens of this city by the valuable assistance given us in our recent local school fight. It is conceded that nothing contributed more to create a necessary enthusiasm and strengthen our determination to fight to a successful end than the speeches here of Mr. Smith and the support of The Gazette. Should he enter upon a speaking tour, it is hoped that Springfield will be on his list. While Cuyahoga county is furnishing a candidate for governor, Clark county bids for fame with a candidate for heuten-governor in the person of Geo. W. Shanklin, a carpenter contractor, of this city. Mr. Shanklin announces himself as being in favor of light wines and beer. He is a Spanish-American war veteran and, while having been active in politics for years, has never before been an applicant for office. For the county offices C. M. Patterson filed for county commissioner and Ulysses S. Meaux filed for nomination for sheriff, both on the Republican ticket. Mr. Patterson is the senior member of the undertaking firm of C. M. Patterson & Sons and was a candidate for the same office, two years ago, when he finished second in a field of six. On the basis of his showing at that time, he enters the race this year fully confident of carrying off the prize. Mr. Meaux has had considerable ex- SOME SCHOOL STATISTICS Of Special Interest To Our People Many of Whom Settled In Cleveland In Recent Years Carleton H. Mann of the local public school division of reference and research has made an analysis of how our boys and girls take advantage of Cleveland's school opportunities. Last fall 1,842 newly arrived Afro-American children from the south were enrolled. They brought our enrollment up to 9,066, which is 52 per cent more than in April. 1920. Total enrollment of whites and Afro-Americans increased from 119,149 to 137,031, or 15 per cent in that period. The table below shows our distribution in the schools. Afro-Amer. School Enroll Enroll Kindergarten 9,221 9,221 Elementary 97,777 7,835 Junior High 23,827 1,264 Senior High 14,161 348 Special 778 54 School education 488 15 The table shows a lessening percentage in grades above elementary. But if one of our pupils reaches the tenth grade his or her chances for graduation are nearly the same as for their companions. Increase in our high school enrollment was 93 per cent in the last two and a half years. The report says: "Since the Afro-American is extremely susceptible to tuberculosis, it is possible that we are not meeting the need for open air classes for these children." Sixty-three of Cleveland's 142 schools have Afro-American pupils. Our boys are more likely to quit school before graduation than their sisters. Of our forty-three graduates, last June and in January, 1924, twenty-nine were girls. CAUSE OF THE WORLD WAR. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: The world war was caused by the overpopulation of Germany.

SHANKLIN For Governor And Governor Other in Southern Ohio—The Recalled—Local Can- dge Geiger Also viewed perience in police work, having been a member of the local police force, constable and special deputy in the office of the sheriff. While not successful in a former effort he polled a gratifying vote and according to his friends has a chance of winning this time. Other than these the chief interest locally is in the candidacy of former Common Pleas Judge F. W. Geiger, for judge of the supreme court. The newspaper release announcing his candidacy mentions the part he had in establishing the juvenile court system and the long period that he presided over the court in this county. It was during that time that it was reported in the local papers that in passing on a case in that court, the judge announced that he would warn real-estate dealers, renting double-houses, against having white and colored tenants in the same building. This aroused the resentment of our citizens which, together with his dillydallyy tactics in the Fulton school case, brought about his defeat for re-election to the office of common pleas judge. In this case, as the readers of The Gazette will recall, the attempt was to establish a separate ("Jim crow") school by the device of removing the white children from the school. The protests, made by our people, being ignored, and the C. R. P. League was organized and the injunction proceeded begun. Notwithstanding the suit was filed in September and a temporary injunction asked of Judge Gelger against the continuance of the school under that arrangement, it was not until just a few days before the election that year, that what purported to be an injunction was issued. There was a suspicion that this delay was in the interest of Supt. McCord and those in favor of the scheme who were making every effort to break up the resistance that was preventing the success of the so-called "experiment." That the Gelger injunction decision was a "bluff" was evidenced by the fact that no attention was paid to it by the superintendent of schools and the school board. Had there been any pretense of sincerity, such as closing the school until after the election, the result might have been different as that hope was expressed by Judge Gelger's Afro-American supporters, some of whom were active in the opposition to the "Jim crow" school. rapidly approaching a crisis and voiced the opinion that unless the birth rate decreased war, for the acquisition of more land, would become inevitable. All land has been appropriated. The only method by which land may be secured is to conquer land-owning nations. With any hard-hung nation become a pacifist nation and sink to the level of China or India? It would be as reasonable to expect that a conflagration can be extinguished with prayer as to expect that poverty and war can be avoided in an over-populated country. When Negroes in Cleveland ask for a strong anti-Klan plank in the Republican platform they speak with an authority they did not command in previous years. As long as the Negroes stayed in the South it mattered less what they demanded. The South was solid. With the migration of great armies of Negro workers to pivotal Northern states the situation has changed. Even by 1920 the colored population had decreased in Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi, as compared with 1910. But in Illinois it had increased 67 per cent, in New Jersey 30, in New York 47, in Ohio 67. In Indiana, where the Klan has captured the Republican party machinery, the increase was 33 per cent; in Michigan the number of Negroes had more than tripled. What is more significant, the movement has continued since 1920. In the six states named, the Negro population must now be more than double what it was eight years ago; and a large proportion of the recent immigrants are men of voting age. They are entitled to speak and they are speaking with emphasis, they do not love the Klan.—New York Daily World.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1396 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWS-BEST AND BEST in the country. Pennsylvania has the largest Afro-American population of any northern state, and is followed, in the order named, by New York, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Indiana, Michigan, and Kansas. Our people of these states can make President Coolidge abolish the damnable segregation in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service, if they want to. Democratic demagogy at its worst was illustrated in the closing hours of the Congress. Democratic Senators who had enthusiastically voted to enact the soldiers' bonus bill over the President's veto filibustered against the appropriation bill which sought to provide funds to make the bonus effective. Senator Pittman of Nevada was one of the most active in defeating the appropriations. The reason for his holding the floor to the exclusion of all business was that a small reclamation item of special interest to his state and himself had not been included in the measure. To show his resentment he was willing to see the bonus law held up for six months for lack of funds to put it in operation. MRS. WILSON KILLED! Patrolman John H. Jones, who was to be tried for the murder of Samuel Larcarc, will be charged with shooting Joseph Malaponti. Both men were killed when Jones and Patrolman Horace Jenkins entered their premises, October 11, 1923. Jenkins had been charged with shooting Malaponti. Judge Alvin J. Pearson dismissed the case against Jones "without prejudice to the state" when early testimony, Monday, indicated Jones had shot Malaponti and not the man with whose killing he was charged. Assistant Prosecutor Eva L. Jaffa announced she would ask the grand jury for indictments reversing the defendants in the two cases. The Italians are backing the cases against Officers Jones and Jenkins, while our people sit still and make no effort at all to punish the white policeman who shot and killed Mrs. Wilson, early last year. Mrs. Wilson was not even charged with wrong-doing. Ask Attorney Wm. R. Green and Rev. E. J. Pillow, her pastor, why some action is not forthcoming as promised. Three "Wilson" mass meetings were held, last year, two at Rev. Pillow's church and one at Zion Hill Baptist church and money raised. COALITION RULED. The Congress which recently adjourned has few admirers, although many of its individual members stand high in public esteem. It is worth while once more to repeat the assertion of the New York Times on March 24, last, that "there is in plain truth no Republican majority in either House." The Republicans strove for a constructive program but they were hampered by the Democrat coalition which had a majority, as evidenced by the holding up of organization in the House and the election of a Democrat to the chairmanship of the Interstate Commerce Committee in the Senate. The coalition did not always exert its power, for there were many measures on which it could not muster its full strength. Nevertheless, it contained in its group a majority of the membership of each House. Those who are dissatisfied with the results of the session should blame the coalition. It is, however, too true that the course of the Republicans, in both House and Senate, like that of the Coolidge state and national leaders in the primary campaign, closed with last week's national convention, showed a wotful lack of competent and proper leadership. CONVENTION ECHOES What was not generally known came to light, last week, and that is that the Coolidge management not only captured the Lincoln League, more than six months ago, but has maintained a "jim crow" headquarters in Chicago for that time, with Roscoe C. Simmons in charge, assisted by Mrs. Camille Cohen-Jones of that city. --- The Hon. Wm. M. Butler of Boston, chairman of the National Committee, and the Hon. C. Bascomb Slemp of Virginia, the President's "illy-white" secretary, "went to the mat" early, right after the convention, and President Coolidge had to be seated. Which one won has been kept deep, dark secret. It seems a draw; but is it? We shall see, later on. --- Mr. Aaron E., Malone, a delegate from the St. Louis district (Missouri) to the convention, last week, was made a member of the committee to formally notify President Coolidge of his nomination. He is not the first member of the race to be so "honored", as there was an Afro-American member of the committee that formally notified McKinley at his home in Canton, this state, of his nomination, years ago. Roscoe Simmons had a kick coming, last week, and made it to the editor of The Gazette, last week. Friday evening at Hotel Majestic, this city. He had been advertised to speak at a couple of meetings here, the first of last week, and had not been notified of either, he says. So stop roasting him for those non-appearances. Roscoe insists that he was not to blame for the two disappointments. So there now, as Miss Jane E. Hunter and Mrs. Lethia Fleming would say. The (Coolidge) convention was the poorest attended and the tameest by far of the four or five we have attended in the last quarter of a century. Many went away from the city arm in the belief that Gov. Lowden's repeated refusals to accept the nomination for the vice-presidency, the final refusal coming after he had been nominated, were the result of a firm belief that Coolidge cannot be elected, this fall. Whether this be the case or not, Lowden's failure to accept, after he had been nominated in the face of his several refusals, has left a bad impression throughout the country. One that will cost thousands of votes. The appearance of the following, in the local daily papers on last week Wednesday and Thursday, right in the height of the convention's activities, gave the "brethren," particularly, and others of course, something to talk about beside the probable nominee for the vice-presidency: "For the first time in history there will be colored candidates seeking both the governorship and lieutenant governorship. Harry Clay Smith, editor and publisher of the Newveland, who sent the nomination, years ago, is seeking the Republican nomination again this year, and today George W. Shanklin, a contracting carpenter of Springfield, entered for lieutenant governor. Shanklin is a World War veteran, and his entrance brought the number seeking this office on the Republican ticket to fourteen, a record." Now, we have three members of the Republican National Committee, two men and a woman: Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, Perry W. Howard of Mississippi, Perry is a special assistant U. S. Attorney General, appointed under the Harding administration by former U. S. Atty. Gen. Harry M. Daughey of Ohio. Mrs. Booze is our first and only woman member of the august body. It takes "Henry Linc" to tell how hard young Teddy Roosevelt, one of President Coolidge's assistant secretaries of the navy (not a "special" assistant, either, mind you), tried four years ago, keep them from being admitted the membership on the committee Johnson had elected to by his delegation. It's too long a story to tell at this time but some of these days we are going to do so and in "The Old Reliable" Gazette, Suffice it to say, Teddy, the son, was only trying to carry out the "illy-white" ideas of his illustrious father who, years ago, kicked "The Black Battalion" out of the U. S. army, and died refusing to acknowledge his greatest mistake. Delegates Westbrook of Colorado, David of Kentucky and eight others signed and issued a call for a meeting of all our delegates at Hotel Majestic, last week Wednesday evening, with a view to formulating a demand on the Coolidge party-leaders here at the convention for the abolishing of that exasperatingly insulting segregation in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service; for the dental appointments with-held from the repudiation of in-hyde-ism", etc., etc., but those in attendance upon the meeting made the mistake of electing Charlie Cottrell of Toledo chairman. You know the rest. Why of course nothing was done. A short talkfest and then adjournment. That's all! The ten faithful signers were sidetracked quickly and thoroly by the Coolidge "Negroes" who were quick to obey their white political demotion howwars and to the they are Concerned, of course as a result they can better further their own and their immediate friends' prospects for a political job or political preferment of some kind. This is really heartrending but true, nevertheless. May God forgive them! Here is all the Coolidge Republican platform has to say of special interest to our people. It is so near next to nothing, it requires no comment: THE NEGRO. "We urge that Congress enact at the earliest possible date a federal anti-lynching law, so that the full influence of the federal government may be wielded to exterminate this hideous crime. We believe that much of the misunderstanding which now exists can be eliminated by humane and sympathetic study of its causes. The THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JUNE 21 1924 PRIME SPORT NEWS Browns Playing Great Ball The Cleveland Browns trampled over the Pittsburgh Keystones in a game full of action and thrills. The field was 5.5 yards. The score was 9 to 2. It was an entirely different team from the one the fans saw on the field a couple of weeks ago. Three new players were in the lineup and the old men played with them than they did with their predecessors. Before Saturday's game, and but not one game. That lone defeat was administered to them, the week previous. But the new Brown combination was unbeatable. There was plenty of force in their attack while not a slip was made in the defense. The Pittsburghs, too, played good. From them on to their fielding allowed the Browns to run wild on the bases. In the eight frame McClaine walked, and went all the way home on two bad throws. Gordon held the visitors in check easily although he had a *core index* never in serious danger except in the second and fourth, when the Keystones scored their only two runs. Browns 0 0 2 0 1 1 4 1 *—9 Keystones 0 1 0 1 0 1 4 1 *—2-base hits* McClaine, Harris, Hammond, Sykes. Three-base hit, Shaheen. The Brown's won both games of their twin bill, Sunday afternoon, 4 to 3 and 8 to 1. The second game was an abbreviated affair, called in the seventh frame on account of rain. The first game was a nip and tuck battle all the way through. The Pittsburghers scored first run in the first half, and the Brown's back in their half of the same inning and tied. And tied it remained until the fifth, when the Brown's broke it. Sol White's men added another tally in the next n in n g, which put them two runs in the lead. But this lead vanished in the eighth run, and the Brown's never runs and tied the score again. For awhile it looked like an overtime tilt, but the Brown's squeezed a man past the tallying station in the final frame. President has praised the creation of a commission for the investigation of financial and economic conditions and the institutional understanding and confidence." There is no use trying to blind our eyes to the fact that, after the seating of Henry Line and Perry, the "Negro" was persona non grata as far as both convention and its leaders were concerned, during the life of the convention in this city, last week. It is true generally, too, of the Coolidge administration. H. C. S. Rev. Scott Wood, Financial Agent- Downingtown, Pa. — Dr. Scott Wood has announced the name J. N. H.

June 11, after a lingering illness. For more than a year he was associated with our schools of St. Louis. For twenty years, he served as principal of L'Ouverture school, and was regarded as one of the most able educators in this state. He is survived by his widow and five children. Southern "Social Equality." Woodbury, N. J.—Detective Scott raided a shack near Bridgeport, recently, and arrested the entire family, consisting of Jas. Worn (white), age 55, and his six colored children ranging in age from 2 to 25 years. The family has been living in a 12 room apartment for a long time and the arrest was made with a charge of keeping a disorderly house. Norma Worn, 14 years old, is soon to become a mother and Worn denies the statement that the father of his daughter's unborn child is a white man. But neighbors who made the complaint and upon whose tip the shack was raided stated that our men Norma is a comely light-brown skirt girl and illiterate. Unable to furnish bail the whole family was confined in Woodbury jail. 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 second game was at all times in favor of the home team. Three errors helped the Brown's score eight times on their twelve bingles, while Fields was holding the opposition to four scattered hits. **First Game** Keystones ... 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 3 Browns ... 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 4 Two-base hit, Shackelford. **Second Game** Browns ... 0 1 2 2 3 0 * 8 Keystones ... 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 Two-base hits—Hay, Morlin, N.

Wills-Firno-Rickard Rumors Sport-writers on New York daily papers are working overtime, these days, sending out any kind of an old rumor that they hope will help to prevent Jack Dempsey ever getting in the ring with Harry Wills. Their stories about Tex Rickard's mythical negotiations with Firpo to fight Wills are about as contradictory as they are without any foundation whatever in fact. Luis Firpo has side-stepped the fight game and all know it; but, nevertheless, the aforementioned N. Y. sport-writers keep right on writing and sending out their fake rumors of negotiations by agents of Rickard with Firpo for a contest with Wills. The Brown's Next Opponents! Saturday, Sunday and Monday a splendid attraction is booked for Booper Park and the new Pepsi Store in the place of the Indianapolis A. B.

My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. 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 contending, after over 1900 years of universal suffrage, 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-respect and have no 'grats.'" World spectors 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. 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. Atlee 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. It's a good time to "get awake." NEW YORK PLANS FOR DEMOCRATS AVENUE OF STATES Each Block in Famous Street of Metropolis will Be Named After a State and Will be Appropriately Decorated—City Will Spend $200,000 to Entertain Big Party. New York City:—How New York City is going to entertain its guests during the National Convention was explained by missioner Grover A. Whalen, Vice Chairman of the Mayor's Committee on Reception to Distinguished Guests, in an appeal to the Board of Alderman for permission to spend the $200,000 appropriated to the Villa, the city would be caused by public letting. Mr. Whalen said every cent would be explained in vouchers that would have to be signed by Controller Craig and himself. With this explanation the board granted the request by a vote of the to 1, Alderman Brune M. Foerber, voting in the negative. Fifth Avenue, from Sixteenth St. to Washington Square, will be transformed into the "Avenue of the States" during the convention period. Mr. Whalen explained, "Balloons will play the name of a State, and will be decorated with the flag, seal and other insignia emblematic of that particular State. Many thousand incandescent lights will be installed to illuminate the avenue by night. Some Entertainments Planned. Some of the entertainment features of the planned city include a dinner to the delegates and other visitors, a garden party in Washington Square and outings for the women visitors under the direction of the Mayor's Committee of Women, of which Mrs. Hylan is Chairman. Mr. Whalen said the city also will arrange trips to Colorado Island Point and other near-by places of interest. Units from the army, navy and the United States Military Academy at West Point will lead the municipal parade on June 23, the day preceding the opening of the convention, in which the men of departments, Police, Fire and Street Cleaning, will participate. An escort of fifty airplanes will fly over the column as it marches in Fifth Avenue. Alderman Falcon caused a laugh when he said that $25,000 would be enough to entertain the visiting Democrats. Alderman Geo. Harvey, Republican. Alderman asked how much money Cleveland had appropriated to entertain the Republican National Convention. "Cleveland has made New York look like a 'plker' by appropriating $200,000." Mr. Whalen replied. "But what's the Democratic National Convention going to do for the Board of Alderman?" asked Alderman Peter J. McGuinness, democrat, of Queens. "Do we get to?" After the laughter was subsided, Mr. Whalen promised to see that the Aldermen received invitations to all entertainments directed by the Mayor's committee. **Contract for Badges Awarded.** The contract for the official convention badges to be worn by members of local committees was awarded to Whitehead & Hoag by a sub-committee of the New York Morgans, J. O'Brien, James W. Gerd, Ralph Pultizer and John R. Young. The badges will be worn by the members of the General Committee, who contributed the money necessary to get the convention here, and the members of the General Entertainment Committee, which has been decentralized into fifty-four sub-committees, one for each State and Territory will indicate the wear's official position and bear his or her name. Plans for the entertainment of the delegates and alternates from Tennessee were discussed at a luncheon of the Tennessee State University on the campus of the society of which R. V. Jones is President and E. Atchison Kellog Secretary will have a theatre party for the women and for the entire delegation, a dinner, at which Cordell Hull, Democrat of National Chairman, will be a Tennessee guest at honor. It was suggested that Bishop Thomas F. Gallor of the Diocese of Tennessee, might be invited to make the opening prayer. Mayor William E. Dever of Chicago has accepted the invitation to be given by the Woburn Club to the New England delegates in the rooms of the Transportation Club in the Hotel Biltmore during the convention. Mayor Dever has informed the club that he will stop at the Waldorf-Astoria. The Illinois delegation is scheduled to arrive on June 22 and will stop at the Hotel Pennsylvania.

Chief Paul Wilson, the father of troubleles Blackfoot Indian, is today a judge among his own people, a leader and a Christian teacher. He and his wife have returned to the Blackfoot Reservation in Alberta after a visit of some weeks at the University of Montana who converted the Chief years ago. This was the first time these Indians had crossed the Canadian Rockies, and they were greatly impressed by the voyages on a steamship the Canadian Pacific S. S. Victoria to Vancouver. April Pay Rolls Decline In New York Employment in Factories of Empire State is Lower Also. Albany, N. Y.—April, usually the peak month in many industries, saw payrolls of New York State employees in any month since February, 1923, and average weekly wages dropped 46 cents from the March average to $27.70, according to the report of State Industrial Commissioner Bernard L. Shientag. The reduction was accompanied by the decrease in factory employment, the report indicated. Employment totals were 5 per cent less than a year ago. Declines in payrolls were noticeable chiefly in the apparel and textile trades, with marked declines of more than 40 per cent in cutlery, tool and stove plants, but with increases in brickyards and lumber mills. ```markdown ``` MUSTEROLE WILL NOT BLISTER Free With can's Dance will go copy or which hundred may."

Analyze Frenchmen Test Shows That 66 Per Cent are Honest And Faithful PARIS—Frenchmen are only 66 per cent honest, concludes the newspaper Paris Soie, an institution in which 100 Frenchmen, chosen at random from a Paris city directory, five from each twenty different walks of life, were used as subjects of analysis. Contouriers are more honest than members of the gospel, tobacco dealers more honest than college professors, and newspaper editors more truthful than diplomats, the investigation proved. 'Each one of the 100 men selected for the test received in his mail a letter signed by "Pierre Du" reading, in print, to your letter, I enclose the sum of 5 francs in stamps, in which I owe you.' Twenty-one of the recipient returned the stamps by the next mail. Thirteen, including three doctors and two cautious judges, wrote to the sender, requesting an explanation, after which they also returned the stamps which didn't belong to them. First results thus showed an average of only 34 per cent honesty. One church pastor naively wrote the sender thanking him for the stamps received. Some time later the Soir wrote second letters to each of the stifter for whom he failed to reply to the first letter. Thirty-two more replies were received, making the final honesty percentage 66. Courturlers, judges, members of Parliament and literary men scored perfect percentages, all returning the stamps which did not belong to them. Four out of five wives merchants never acknowledged the stamps the second letter. All but one each of the editors, doctors and tobacco dealers proved themselves genuinely honest. "We must conclude," says Paris Soir "that most of us pay more attention to our own affairs than we do to the affairs of others." Tooth Worth $1,000 Court Allows $2,000 Because Dentist Pulled Two Good Ones. White Plains.—Supreme Court Justice Arthur S. Tompkins set $1,000 as the value of each of two teeth extracted by mistake from a seven-year-old. Ald F. Gansner of Mount Vernon. The youth's mother brought suit on his behalf against Dr. Louis E. Lutler, a Manhattan dentist, alleging that a year ago he pulled two permanent teeth instead of the bony scarred area. Judgment was taken in default today when valuation of the teeth was left to Justice Tompkins. "I suppose you would like to have all your teeth pulled at that price," the Justice remarked to the boy just after he had awarded $2,000.

Our Demand for What We Are Clearly Entitled To, a Delegate-at-Large, Ignored—Five “Negroes” Turn Against Our People—Donthen'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. 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 Naiad 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 representatives 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. Hole Donithen, Ohio Cooilidge 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 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, and announced that he would bend every honorable effort towards making the appointment with Mr. Donithen that the committee could call "any day" and he would see it. To this Mr. Cox replied: "That is too indefinite, Mr. Donithen want a repetition 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 13 o'clock noon, Feb. 12th, and received a reply from Mr. Logan who informed him that owing to the fact that he was in Columbus he 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 meet him on February 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, we were one-thirty and the thirty, without being darkened by 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 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, I was told that he did but whom his secretary (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 whatsoever for keeping us waiting for more than two hours. Rather humiliating to any self-respecting human being, don't you think? I was standing in front of you, introducing myself, Editor Dabney in Rev. Webster, I read the following: "Mr. Donithen, we come to you as the representatives of the thinking Negro Republicans, men and women (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 accord what we are asking for. We size, Mr. Donithen, that to the victor honors 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 a year after year we have labored, side by side with our 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 you the published above) for your careful attention. Mr. Dabney will make a few remarks and then Rey, Webster. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JUNE 21 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 thruout 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 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 of our voters in Indiana, Ohio and throut 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 agreed with the Republican State Executive committee in its deson as a candidate for delegate-attic, not to indorse a Colored perlarge to the Republican National convention to meet in Cleveland in June, are (named by Mr. 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. Very truly to PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS MORE COOLID&E SEGREGATION. The Coolidge administration, not satisfied with the segregation of our employees in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service, thru its Secretary of War, John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, now announces that our people of the nation's capital and the District of Columbia, who wish to bathe in the Potomac river, must use "the west side of the Tidal Basin opposite the beach now used exclusively by whites." Anent this, the Washington Eagle says: "The issue should be more clearly drawn. It should be solely upon the question of whether or not the colored people are to enjoy equally the bathing beach already constructed for the use of the people and maintained by Government funds. Segregation in any form is objectionable. It places a badge of inferiority upon the race proscribed against, and certainly the Government of the United States should not engage in discriminating against any of its citizens." And President Coolidge can abolish all of the segregation complained of in two minutes with a few words. ONE OF OUR SOLDIERS! A Victim of Southern Vindictiveness And Barbarism at Houston, Texas, in 1017, Enlightens Our Readers. Leavenworth, Kan., June 11, '24 Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Mr. Smith:—As one who has been interested in the fight for the release of the former members of the 24th Inf., I feel some one should keep you abreast of the true results. You have, no doubt, read the N. A. A. C. P. press release (published in The Gazette, several weeks ago) and the letter from the War Department. Among other things it was stated that eighteen of us were to be released "at once." This, no doubt, was encouraging to our friends who have fought for us. The truth is, however, that eighteen are NOT to be released "at once," or at least to be released last parole board, in May. One them is eligible for immediate release. The others in August and September. The impression seems to have been made that when we are eligible for parole, we are released. We are not, and there are several things to keep one from being discharged on parole. We will appreciate having you, as far as you can, not mentioning any of our names, explain just what a parole means. For us whose parents were reduced from life to thirty years, it means at least three more years! Mr. Weeks, Secretary of war, stated that "the ones receiving cuts to thirty years had the poorer records in confinement and were more deeply involved in the affair." You all who have aided us understand the whole cause of the so-called Houston riot and know that one could not be "more deeply involved" than Nineteen were hanged, at that time. They were the ringleaders. A few years ago, Mr. Weeks stated that we "all were equally guilty" and he would grant clemency to none. He made good this statement by having nothing to do with the first reduction, and they were made over the protest of the war department. He was imprisoned. We feel sure that the N. A. A. P. will not give up the fight but we feel that now is a ripe time for our press to continue to aid us. As the case stands, all petitions and resolutions in our behalf have been turned over to the war department from where we have never expected much consideration because we all believe it is antagonistic toward us. We trust that you will, at this time, give us all the aid you can afford. We will send a letter from you to the President would aid, or at least, to Senator Frank B. Willis. Sincerely yours. (One of the Imprisoner Soldiers.) John Hudson, former member of the 24th U. S. Inf., serving a life sentence for alleged participation in the 1917 Houston, Texas, riot, is the only one to have his sentence commuted in recent months. He will be eligible for release, this year.

CURRENT EVENTS When prices are soaring and business is not what it should be and citizens are harder pressed to meet their ordinary obligations, the governmental agency that does not fall in line with efforts to reduce taxes and to thereby cut down the cost of living is digging its own grave. Every one will agree that one of the most desirable accomplishments today would be that of lowering taxes. President Calvin Coolidge acted in the interest of lower taxes when he took his stand against the bonus bill, and conferred the step toward raising taxes when it seemed the bill over the president's veto. As the president said, "money cannot compensate the able soldier soldiers for the time they spent in defending the flag in 1918 and there is a conversation about the realization that the armed forces been well done, that money cannot give. Of course, the disabled soldiers must be taken care of. The announcement has been made that the union of the North and South churches of the Presbyterian congregation is likely to be effected in the near future. This great church divided on account of the civil war, and ever since those stirring days when the fife was played through the Nation and the soil trembled under the tread of marching soldiers in Blue and Gray, the Presbyterians in the North conducted their religious affairs without regard or rather without the co-operation of their religious brethren south of the Mason-Dixon line, seems to have been the government is now united and has been for many years, and the feeling of hostility has died, that a great religious denomination, in which the spirit of brotherly love is taught, should be divided along the lines that prevailed when the nation was plunged into two armed conflicts, this great denomination will again, as one in the Nation, and thereby serve as a fitting example to the other religious bodies. The religious people of the country are greatly interested in the heresy trial that was started at Cleveland a few days ago. A bishop of the Episcopal church is on before a court of nine learned Bishops the bishop has the strong being that the defendant has raged the faith of the Christian church by his heretical writings. Bishop Brown of Gallon, now retired, and formerly bishop of the Arkansas diocese, stands before the Par of the church, openly defiant, and the outcome will be openly espouse certain passages of the Bible. The trial marks the first open rupture in years between religious fundamentalists and the modernists, and the outcome will be read with great interest throughout the country. There is an old saying that Politics Makes Strange Bedfellows. The saying may be applied to In China, for instance, we are told that the better class of the citizens frown upon Mah Jong, as a game of gamblers, and fit only for the lowest of the gambling dives. Devotees of the game in the great Asiatic Republic are not admitted into polite society. But in America, the enlightened republic that annually sends millions of dollars to the expenses of Christianizing the Chinese, Mah Jeng is today one of the most popular of games played by the very best people. It is no disgrace to be an expert in the game, and, in fact, one is out of the swim unless he or she understands the intracacies of the game. It is too bad that the Japanese, a delightful people in many respects in spite of their non-Christian character, are all worked up about the new immigration act, which has been signed by President Coolidge. It is true that the bill contains a clause, which will exclude the Japanese from America, but practically the same thing has been imposed by the English dominions in Pacific. No foreigner can go into Japan and buy land and become a citizen, we are told, and so why get mad when the same rule is applied to Japanese in this country. We should legislate and to have the say as to who shall enter this country, we should like to know, who has been delegated that authority. Anyway, who would want to go to a country that did not want to receive one. Anyway, Japan pass a bill that will exclude Americans from imigrating, and see whether we will get all worked up about it. HARNESS SUN'S RAYS SAN FRANCISCO.-Marcel Moreau, of San Francisco, announced he had found a way of harnessing the sun. He declared working from experiments credited to Archimedes on hundreds of years ago, he had succeeded in devising a combination of little mirrors set in a bowl about four feet in diameter, which, when focused through a number of small lenses, would produce tremendous light that the more lit mirror said he could regulate the heat produced to the exact degree desired. Moreau claims to have produced with his machine heat sufficient to Moreau claims to have produced with his machine heat sufficient to melt a diamond and cause it to disappear as gas.

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 "for the purpose of this chapter." In an act of violence by mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lyching" 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 of money exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from 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 share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share, there a no widow or minor child of such person as dependent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (63 v 162 6.) Section 6233. 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 representation shall withhold the most serious action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6224. 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 indemnify the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 62286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 62287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any other county. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. 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 may recover the amount of the judgment from the county in which the mob is engaged, on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory neglig- 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: **IBS.** ed. .. representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. .. last member of mob. nst another county. .. imprisoned not less than thirty days county in falling 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 Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1834: The General Cogs of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12340. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public con- tainer, hotel, water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies the excent for reasons applicable alike 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. 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 foolishly manufactured outcry for two passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the edition of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter, to the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to believe you 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 that you were doing on in its own town, there would be no occasion for criticism editorially. THE HOW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO RE-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.
