SEGREGATION IN CITY PARKS. Protest Made to the Mayor And the Fight Carried Into The Courts—Park Guard Arretried. Louisville, Ky.—Recently two of our teachers, Misses Margaret Taylor and Naomi Anthony, took 20 of our children to the city park for a day's outing. They pinicicked on the "white" playground until three white park guards ordered them out, and upon their refusal to go choked one of the teachers and took them both to the police station in a patrol wagon. The two teachers swore out a warrant charging assault and battery against one of the guards and the next morning 100 members of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. were in court, employed an attorney and had the case put over until June 24th. Lee L. Brown, of the Louisville Branch N. A. A. C. P., reports: "We visited the Mayor's office and laid our complaint before him; furthermore we had the officers arrested. Yesterday (Sunday), four-minute speakers were sent out to the churches. They responded and a neat sum of money was raised. Clubs and other organizations have declared they will help. We are going to carry this case, if necessary, to the supreme court in order to test whether we as tax payers chave a right to the use of the city parks without being molested by the police officers." Mr. Brown reports that the local branch opposed the opening of a special park for our people and that since its opening there has been trouble over their using the other city parks and playgrounds.

MORE THAN A MILLION Have Come North in the Last Few Years, Says Dr. Butler, of "More than a million. Negroce have left the south in the last few years. Unless better schools are provided and mob violence and lynch-murdering cease, as many more will follow." Rev. S. B. Butler of Indianapolis told the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. congress, in session at Zion Hill Baptist church, E. 37th St., near Woodland Ave., last week Friday night. "Ignorance and illiteracy was the legacy handed down to the Negro by slavery," said Dr. Butler, "and by the help of God we are determined to rid ourselves of it." Rev. D. W. Cannon, president, in his annual address condemned all forms of lawlessness and lynching. Other speakers, the same evening, were John L. Webb of Hot Springs, Kas.; Rev. W. B. Scott of Chicago, Dr. P. J. Bryant of Atlanta and Mrs. Viola T. Hill of Orlando, Fla. One of the most interesting speakers in attendance upon the congress was Dr. J. A. White of Tampa, Fla. "WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY"? 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's country." Most of the whites 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. D. Male GEORGE W. SHANKLIN Our Candidate For the Republican Nomination For Lieutenant Governor of Ohio. Springfield, O.—The subject of this sketch was born in Gallia county, received his education in the public schools and at Rio Grande college, that county. He is a veteran of the Spanish-American war and a leading carpenter - contractor of Springfield. Mr. Shanklin is married and has seven children. His platform is the same as that of his "running mate," the Hon. Harry C. Smith, our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, for the second time, with the exception that Mr. Shanklin favors a modification of the Volstead Act to permit the manufacture of light wines and beer for home use. It also includes, more economy in the operation of the state government; a thorough revision of the tax laws of Ohio; a tax on gasoline to the consumer, the proceeds to go to further improvement of Ohio roads; more money for mothers' pensions, and "every facility for the education and training of the youth of Ohio." Mr. Shanklin says, and very pertinently, too: "There are 200,000 Afro-American voters in Ohio, and the Republican party has been riding into office on the wings of these voters too long already without granting them a single elective state-office. It seems to me that this great mass of Republicans should now receive adequate notice, or TAKE it since they the power (votes) so to do." And Mr. Smith will campaign state, this fall, as the editor dies years ago, when a candidate, F. years (three terms), Mr. Shaw was (elected) tax assessor of polls—from 1906 to 1912. In he was a candidate for state senator and was loyally supplying a close third in a field of candidates, with two to be nominated. COOLIDGE DISCHARGES Forty-Three Afro-American Employees of The Register of the Treasury Department—Other "Capitol Color-Lines." Washington, D. C.—On June 30 forty-three Afro-American employees were discharged by the U. S. register of the treasury, thirty-eight of whom were in the notorious "jim crow" section of the interest coupon division. The other five, in a minor "jim-crow" section. The forty-three employees discharged were about half the total number of Afro-American clerks in the office of Register Harvey, V. Spielmann, a former resident of Ohio. It is currently reported that the discharged employees of the interest coupon division were most active in their opposition to Register Spielman's segregation of our employees of his department. Mr. Speelman has even arranged it so colored and white employees of his department cannot use the elevators at the same time, mornings and evenings. This is carrying segregation to the limit, and President Calvin Coolidge permits it, too, in spite of all of our protests; Including messengers, charwomen and janitors (laborers), there were 119 Afro-American employees in the office of the register of the treasury. An item appropriating the sum of $75,000 for the construction and maintenance of a "jim crow" bathing beach on the west side of Tidal Basin, opposite the bathing beach now used exclusively for white people, was killed by filibuster in the last twenty minutes before the recent adjournment of Congress. The "color line" may be drawn in restricting the sale of property here, according to an opinion handed down, recently, by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. The case is to be appealed to the supreme court, by our people. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS use. It also includes, more economy in the operation of the state government; a thorough revision, of the tax laws of Ohio; a tax on gasoline to the consumer, the proceeds to go to further improvement of Ohio roads; more money for mothers' pensions, and "every facility for the education and training of the youth of Ohio." Mr. Shanklin says, and very pertinently, too: "There are 200,000 Afro-American voters in Ohio, and the Republican party has been riding into office on the wings of these voters too long already without granting them a single elective state-office. It seems to me DOINGS OF THE RACE. DeHart Hubbard, University of Michigan; Edward Gourdin, Harvard Law school, and Earle Johnson, Pittsburgh, are our representatives among the American athletes in Paris, France, to participate in the Olympic games. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia and Perry W. Howard of Mississippi are our only. Republican National committee, and Mrs. Geo. S. Williams of Georgia, and Mrs. Eugene P. Booze of Mississippi are our only members of the Council (women) of the Republican National committee. For the first time in the history of Michigan, an Afro-American has been named as a Republican elector, in the person of Dr. James W. Ames of Detroit, a graduate of Howard University. Ohio was so honored, many years ago. More "Hot Air" New York City.—The National Negro Finance Corporation, with a capital stock of $1,000,000, having for its object the promotion and expansion of Negro business enterprises, was officially launched, June 6, at a dinner given at Stewart's restaurant, 26-30 Park place. Over $50,000 of stock was subscribed in a few minutes. Negro corporations aggregating $20,000,000 were represented. Coolldge Is Lunchcon Host Washington, D.

This is campaign "stuff." Haitl and The L. S. Geneva, Switzerland.—The annual congress of the International Union of League of Nations Associations, which will open at Lyons, June.29. will be asked by the Haytian Association to examine the question of the occupation of Haiti by American forces, according to the Journal de Geneva. IN-UNION IS STRENGTH Clear! Sultenant Governor of Ohio. that this great mass of Republicans should now receive adequate recognition, or TAKE it since they have the power (votes) so to do." He and Mr. Smith will campaign the state, this fall, as the editor did, two years ago, when a candidate. For six years (three terms), Mr. Shanklin was (elected) tax assessor of Gallipolls—from 1906 to 1912. In 1920 he was a candidate for state representative and was loyally supported by our people and many whites, running a close third in a field of four candidates, with two to be nominated. A DEMOCRAT SHAMES COOLIDGE New York City—To an inquisitor who wrote asking among other things his views with regard to the Ku Klux Klan, Gov. Al. Smith, the Democratic Governor of this state, replied: "You speak about the attitude of my friends toward an anti-Ku Klux Klan plank in the Democratic Nation platform. I do not know what you mean by my friends. I have a very great many of them." None of them think for me. I think for myself. It seems almost a waste of time, after my long public career for it to be necessary for me to say anything about, any individual or group of individuals or any organization that questions the nationality, the race, the creed or the religion of any American. I have repeatedly said in public speech that nothing is or could be so contrary to the very principles upon which this country was founded. As a boy and as a man I always read with a great deal of delight the immortal words that Jefferson wrote into the Declaration of Independence—That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." I take that liberty to mean Liberty within the law and, certainly, it is within the law that any man worship-God according to his own inclination. Certainly; that declaration drew no color line and certainly, it was intended to refer to all citizens, whether born under the flag or whether brought under it by an oath of allegiance to it." Urge Anti-Klan Plank New York City—The National Afro-American Democratic conference, last week Friday, forwarded to the Democratic national committee a resolution demanding that an anti-Ku Klux Klan plank be included in the party platform. Mr. Titus Alexander of California, chairman of the executive committee of our organization, introduced the resolution at the meeting and it was unanimously adopted. It asks for "a solid substantial plank" denouncing the Klan as "lawless, treasonable and un-American."

SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1924 Editor Wm. E. DuBois seems to have been forgotten when the program for the N. A. A. C. P.'s fifteenth annual conference, which opened in Philadelphia, this week, was made. Wonder what's the matter? --- If the Hon. Wm. M. Butler of Boston, chairman of the Republican National Committee, wants to help the party to lose Ohio at this fall's election, all he has to do is to continue Mr. Hoke Donithen as the Ohio Collidge leader. --- We note that the Hon. Theodore E. Burton of this city is booked to address the N. A. A. C. P. annual conference on "The Political Future of the Negro." Former Senator Burton is a very able man, as all know. Therefore, those attending the conference, Sunday afternoon, may expect to hear something out of the ordinary on that subject from him. --- The two pitiful paragraphs under the head, "Negro," in the party platform, adopted in this city, recently, are just as strong as its pronouncement against Ku Kluxism. The glaring weakness that has characterized the course of the party ever since Calvin Coolidge became President, becomes more spectacular with each succeeding week. Editor Wm. E. Dubols, a graduate of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., charges its president with bowing to southern prejudice, mentioning several specific instances, and scores the management of the institution. President McKenzie and the University board are not half as guilty, as charged, as is President Calvin Coolidge and his administration, who injure the race, as a direct result of their segregation stand, ten thousand times more than Fisk University's president and its board of trustees. DuBois and the other "Negro leaders" know this and yet have never a word to say about it. Lord, have mercy! --- "SAM AND MATILDA" Editor, Plain Dealer, Dear Sir:—Your article of recent date, containing local public school statistics relative to "Sam and Matilda, colored children from the south," evidently written by Carleton H. Mann of the local public school division of reference and research, was very interesting and illuminating. I am quite sure that your readers would enjoy articles of a like nature, written by Mr. Mann (or whoever wrote the article referred to), which would inform them as to Mike and Bridget, Irish children; Hans and Gretchen, Dutch or German children; Isadore and Rebecca, Jewish children; Tony and Lena, Italian children, all from the old country, and others who have located in Cleveland in the last eight or nine years. GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY? Now comes Prof. W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce with a statement to the effect that he did not confer with Mr. Hoke Donithen of Marion and agree with him that it was not advisable, at that time, to give our people of the state of Ohio the candidate for delegate-at-large they asked for, were and are entitled to. Some weeks ago, Atty. Robert B. Barcus of Columbus wrote The Gazette denying that he had ever been in conference or had had any communication whatever with Mr. Donithen relative the matter. That leaves four other persons, Atty. Wilbur King of Columbus, Fred D. Patterson of Greenfield, Carl Jenkins of Wilberforce and Charles Cottrell of Toledo, whom Mr. E. T. Banks of Dayton says Mr. Donithen named as the "race leaders" who agreed, with the Republican State Executive Committee, that to indorse "a colored person" as a candidate for delegate- at-large to the recent Republican national convention would be a "mistakes" at that time. Since Messrs. Barcus and Scarborough have sent in their denials, the latter very late indeed in doing so. The Gazette would like very much to hear from King, Patterson, Jenkins and Cottrill. Our people would like to know positively, whether Mr. Donithe, Mr. Banks and the latter's informant are correct in naming them as responsible parties in the matter. A failure to do so justifies our readers in accepting as truth the statement Mr. Banks made in his communication to The Gazette. ROGERS BILL RECOGNIZED The Hon. Theodore E. Burton, in his fine "keynote" address to the recent Republican national convention, emphasized one of the pieces of major legislation, enacted by the Republican party, to which too little attention has been paid. Said he: "We have passed and the President has approved the so-called Rogers bill, placing our diplomatic and consular service, with its rapidly increasing importance, on a higher plane and giving opportunities to others than millionaires to occupy the more important positions." The effect of the Rogers bill improving and building up our foreign service is already becoming apparent. Always hard-workers, our diplomats and consuls, secure in the confidence that their careers are no longer to be harassed by the worries incident to a prospective penniless old age, and that merit will bring promotion, are buckling down to still harder endeavor. The work, which they do in increasing our commerce, establishing peaceful relations, and keeping us informed of world-wide conditions, makes the additional expenditure of a very few hundred thousand dollars a good bargain. The Republican party rescued the foreign service from the ravages of the epolia system when the Hon Elihu Root, as Secretary of State, placed it on a merit basis and made appointment to the grades below minister subject to rigid examination. The Republican party, by the enactment of the Rogers bill, has perfected the service to the point where it is now considered to be better than that of any other nation. That the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill will not be passed by the present Congress seems to be generally admitted by all those who have watched it. Speaker Gillette of the U. S. House of Representatives, some weeks ago, in a letter to the National Equal Rights League of Boston, announced that this was to be its fate. The Congress which preceded this one had a large Republican majority in both branches, something which the present Congress has not. The preceding Congress refused to pass the bill when it could easily have done so. The present Congress is without a working majority in one of its two branches. This undoubtedly is one of the reasons why Speaker Gillette and those who are in a position to know whereof they speak, announce that the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill will not be passed. As a law, if it ever reached the U. S. Supreme Court, which years ago decreed that only the several states had the power to enact mob violence laws (a state right), it would be declared unconstitutional, is the opinion of Senator Borah and other leaders in both the U. S. Senate and the House of Representatives. A REAL OPPORTUNITY To Get a Home Quickly And at Minimum Cost—Splendidly Lo-Stop Paying Rent cated Near the City— The president of of the Lincoln Heights Land Co., Mr. Goodman, one of the foremost business leaders of Cleveland, is an old acquaintance of the editor of The Gazette. In talking with him, recently, Mr. Goodman said the congested down-town residence districts of Cleveland first suggested to him the idea of obtaining a beautiful location where pure air, good water, fruit trees, a chance to raise chickens and garden truck, and still be close enough to the city of Cleveland so that residents could come and go from their work within 30 minutes time. In order to make it still easier to watch a home site, the company has arranged for building three or four room cottages on the property that anyone with $100, or even less, can move right in and pay a modest monthly sum on their own property, instead of feeding the landlord. Those who have been thinking of buying a home site for investment or to live in, why not buy near Cleveland instead of 50 or 100 miles away where you can't possibly make use of your purchase. For information call, Main $290 or write 1008 Schofield bldg. Any honest real estate man will tell you next big development for Cleveland is towards Bedford way, with big profits to present buyers. Advt. Why intelligent members of the race persist in invigoring our people to color-line Luna park in order to make money for it, is one of the most harmful things to racial progress in this community that The Gazette finds it difficult to explain. Have you lost ALL self and race respect? Ask them! No person or people have any more respect for us, individually or collectively than we SHOW we are deserving of. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1924 PRIME SPORT NEWS The score, last Saturday, was 6 to players. Several clever new men are 4 in favor of the Blues. slated to join the Browns in several The Blues and Brown's Divide. The Cleveland Brown's and the Memphis Red Sox divided a double header at Hooper field, Sunday. The Red Sox took the first game, 11 to 8, the Brown's the second, 3 to 2. The first game was a weird affair in which the visitors got all the breaks. Ross was announced to start this game, and he was replaced by Hensley. He had pitched to the first batter. Hensley hurled winning ball until the eighth. In this frame he began to slip. Four singles drove in three runs and put the Red Sox within one run of a tie. In the ninth inning Hensley broke down completely, the visitors batted all the way around. When the dust had cleared away, it was seen that the Red Sox had put five men across the home plate on four singles, a double and an error. It was nearly 4 when the second game began, and it was agreed that it would go only seven innings. But at the end of the seventh the score was a tie, so it was announced that it would continue until one of the teams won the batters battle between Shepherd, an underhand pitcher, for the visitors, and Johnson for the locals. Shepherd gave five and Johnson four hits. In the Brown's half of the eighth, Johnson led off with a single, and Gordon beat out a bunt. Brady ran for Johnson and went to third on Miles' single. Fields went in to run for Brady. With the bases full and none out, Singer sent the long sacrifice fly to center field that scored Fields.

Three-base hit—Russell. There was a fine crowd to see the games. Nearly every seat was taken and many stood while watching them. The Blues Won Again. Swinging wicked bats, pushing opposing players off the bases, sliding into the sacks with spikes gleaming in the sunlight and utilizing numerous other tactics which tend to reflect unfavorably on the national pastime, the Brownis battled the Memphis Red Sox to a standstill, Monday, at Hooper field, but lost the fourth game of the series to the visitors, 10 to 5. The fifth and final game was the Red Sox's Score 14 to 10. Evidently growing desperate by their failure to win, the local club utilized practically every rowdy trick known, during the three hours and ten minutes required to complete the contest. Just a few players took a part in the "rough 'em up" party, but there was no excuse for the dirty playing. The Brownis jumped off to a four-run lead in the initial session, and Ross of the Sox knocked Goody and Ross out of the third inning, scoring eight runs. Glass and Fields engaged in a pretty pitching battle after the third inning. Memphis. 0 0 8 0 0 2 0 0 0 1—10 Browns. 4 0 0 0 0 1 0 1—5 Two-base hits—Gurley, Cunningham, Miller, Moore, Ray. Browns Trimmed Again. Browns Trimmed Again People living in the city of Hoodoo received the surprise of their lives. Tuesday, when informed that the Browns had lost another game to the Memphis Sox by a 14 to 10 score. Cheer after cheer had been heard throughout the afternoon and the general supposition was that the Browns were having a merry time with their southern foes. In reality, the local team was being trimmed soundly. The faint-hearted fans turned on the home team and cheered Memphis on to victory. Two-bankham, to victory. 2. Bancham, Edwards. Spearman, Miles, Perry, Ray, Singer. Three-base hits—Miles, Ray. Home run—Gurley. Again Wills and Firpo Again Wills and Firpo. New York City—A fifteen-round match between Luis Angel Firpo, Argentine heavyweight Pied Piper Harry Wills, who joined Monday, Tex Rickard, promoter, announced receipt of a cablegram from Firpo definitely accepting Rickard's final terms. The heavyweights have agreed to meet on a percentage basis in the latter part of August, the exact time and place to be announced by Rickard after the Democratic convention. It is likely, however, that the match will be staged in Rickard's arena on Boyle's "Thirty Acres at Jersey City" in October he would sign it to Rickard. Rickard, and that nothing definite would be done about the match between the winner of this bout and Dempsey until after the Wills-Firpo fight. Jim Taylor and St. Louis Stars Here For the first time since Cleveland has been a member of our league they will meet the St. Louis Stars at Hooper field, this Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Doubtless hundreds of local fans will want to see the Browns win, for the wellknown Jim Taylor is coming as manager of the Missouri boys, Jim has a fast, scrappy team and the fans are sure to get a run for their money. F. Bell, Davis and J. Bell, pitchers; Blackwell and J. Bell, outfielders; Bobo, Wells and Murray, infielders, of the Stars are all considered high-class 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 CLEVELAND "Bobo" Leonard days. A double-header is carded for Sunday, June 29. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My car 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 obdurate 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 of unhistoric discrimination, and are winning judicial 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 not self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscription 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." CURRENT EVENTS There has long been the cry that more business is needed in politics. Candidates for public office have been elected on their promises to put into their offices that business to be done. Business was injected into politics by Frank W. Stearns and Wm. Butler, both of Massachusetts, friends of President Calvin Coolidge, during the sessions of the House of Representatives, Cleveland, Stearns and Butler took the management of the convention away from the professional politicians, who have for 10 or more years been sitting in the limelight at all national party gatherings. They conducted the convention and that private business is conducted. In a privately managed institution operated for profit, the general manager is the whole works. He hires and fires at will; he issues orders and executes immediate obedience to the general manager's holdings and watches the budget. He is superman. Nothing is more autocratic than the management of the ordinary private business enterprise. Itteams and Butler did practically that during the Republican convention. They dictated the chairmen of the committees, named the planks that went into the platform, and they didn't call in the chairmen of delegations, the national committee and party leaders for long conferences 'behind every secret door.' This created quite a rumpus during the convention, for national politics always has been carried on by compositions with conflicting elements; by permitting the state endorsed to be the leader of the power that be and by frequent slappings and consultations. The Republican convention got away entirely from the Stearns and Butler management when it came to selecting a vice president to nominate Burton, and the convention named Frank Lowden of Illinois, who resigned, greatly to the humiliation of the party. Butler then wanted Herbert Hoover named, and the convention delegates responded by nominating Charles Dawes. Business in politics was not so effective in this instance. All through the year, there is a long line of rum loaded boats that stand in the ocean outside the 12 mile limit of the U. S. Atlantic coast. Swift little motor boats that will haul away 10 to 25 cases of alcohol from the boats, get their cargoes and then dart away to the nearest ports. The government maintains a fleet of chasers and these are doing their work as effective as might be expected, but thousands of cases of alcohol have been seized by Atlantic seaboard cities by boats that evade the chasers. The boats outside the 12 mile limit are foreign owned, largely from Great Britain, Canada, France, Spain and Italy, and the government officers can not hinder them, for the Ocean Government has control of vessels registered with it. Here is a situation that makes enforcement of the prohibition law difficult. That rum fleet of foreign vessels must be broken up, if prohibition is to be made. The foreign governments thus far have not listened with sympathetic attention to proposals made to stop traffic in liquor, for their own peoples are against prohibition. This would indicate that to make prohibition easier, the countries of Europe must be made dry. Here is a job for the Anti Saloon League. In Cleveland Ohio, the street railway employees and the company management have been engaged for several weeks in a hot controversy about a new scale of wages. A board of arbitrators was named a bureau of accounting a 12 cents an hour increase for the men was handed down. One of the arbitrators was backed by union men for a federal post after the award was made, and the street railway executives resented the bureau for suppliding the award. As the negotiations: progressed there was talk of a strike. That meant that the Million people in Cleveland and suburbs would be without street railway service while those opposed for suppliding the wage controversy. Neither the company executives or the employees seemed to realize that they were sacrificing the rights of the people in this controversy. Some day the public will be effectively represented in the court of public necessity and then strikes and lockouts will be things of the past. The great drift of the colored people northward from the states south of the Mason-Dixon line has created a situation that is alarming to the whites of the South. Labor has become scarce and the cotton industry has become a colorful pickers that formerly were available. In the present year it was thought, that, with the industrial centers filled with men and women out of work, the drift of the colored folk north would diminish. but that has not been seen in the past. The collarer is north than they are in the South, and living conditions are different in the North for the negro. But when winter comes and in slack times it is certain that the negroes is better off in the South than in the northern people are not so strenuous as are their brethren in the Northern states and competition is not so strong. Italian Port for Airplanes It is reported that the Superior Air Council in Rome has decided to construct a port for airplanes and hydroplanes at Naples.

HEROLIN MEDICINE CO Atlanta, Georgia value an acre or in prices per pound for the last five years, show equally striking results," a statement made public recently, continues. "They show, for example, that the products other than dairy products which are now at a fairly high level are the industrial raw materials—cotton, wool and flaxseed, and not food. Thus the farm-industry is American in industry which has acted as a saving balance in his present unstable condition, becomes readily apparent. "Furthermore, any increase in the purchasing power of forage crops is only apparent, and not actual, inasmuch as they are fed to animals rather than sold, and food animals are still at a low level. This really might represent a loss to farmer, he has to feed high-priced cattle, other feed purchased, to animals which he will be able to sell only at a low price. "Statistically the National Industrial Conference Board's study differs from most data used to show the purchasing power of farm products, which have been criticized by economists, educational and banking officials. "The Conference Board has used price of selected articles bought by farmers, instead of the more easily quoted wholesale prices, which are used so frequently and erroneously. The larger crops raised is figured by the acre instead of by the bushel standard, because the yield may vary for causes outside the farmer's control. "The price of farm products used is the price to the farmer, rather than the mark, pr19, which includes high freight rates and other factors. "Even with this statistical care employed, the relatively poor showing which the farmer makes in a period otherwise prosperous is still not a measure of his financial position. Such a measure would take cognizance also of the farmer's gross income, minus what he pays as interest on mortgages, bank bank loans and other, to arrive at the amount actually available for his operating and living expenses. "For several years the view has been widespread that the farmer has not been bearing his share of the burden of contributing toward the support of the Federal, State and local governments. It will be helpful to surprise to many economists, as well as authorities on agriculture, to learn that as a matter of fact the farmer appears to be overtaxed rather than un-taxed." --- Better Than a Mustard Plaster MUSTEROLE WILL NOT HLSTER Free With cars Dennis will get copy of which hundred say: " Free Dream Book With every order for one or more books, please send a free Dressing, priced $25 per can, we will give Absolutely Free a book which explains the meaning of handwriting, ordering, and Send Dream Book. MARGARET Farmers Plight Shown By Survey Prices For His Products Below Market He Buys In. WASHINGTON—As a result of the study of the price trends of ten crops and five classes of livestock and of livestock products for the last five pears, the National Industrial Conference Board has come to the conclusion that while those things which the farmer buys had increased more than 100 per cent in prices 1928 and 1914 and stood about 86 per cent higher in 1923, the value of an acre of his crops stood only 31 per cent higher than in 1914. Furthermore, the purchasing value was only 71 per cent of the 1914 value. "The principal crops and live- stock products, when analyzed by Columbia Columbia Recorder Note the Notes Dr. LeROY N.

U. convention, assembled in that church, to send iis unanimous protest to President Coolidge against further iMegal occupation of Haiti by U. 8. Marines. Dr. Holly is an exception- ally fluent speaker. He was born in Haiti and lived there, many years. Indeed, he was at one time Haitian consul to the Bahamas. Dr. Holly was educated in England, is “a gold- medal university graduate” and a son of the distinguished Rt. Rev.

Live Candidates For Governor And Lieutenant-Governor One in Northern Ohio; the Other in Southern Ohio—The Fulton School Fight Recalled—Local Candidates and Judge Geiger Also Reviewed Springfield, O.—The news that the Hon. 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 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 & Son and was a candidate for the same office, two years ago, when he imshaped second in a field of six. On the basis of his showing at that time he enters the race this year full confident of carrying off the prize Mr. Meaux has had considerable experience in police work, having been a member of the local police force HARRY C. SMITH and uncompromising attitude he has maintained thrush this long period of time on the race question. In addition, he has a brilliant record as a member for three times, 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 most effective act against 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 endeared 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 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 leutenant-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 BLUE IS RIGHT! The Cleveland Press and The Cleveland News Were Both Guildy— Small Business. Managing Editor, The Cleveland Press, City. 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 in no part of the civilization 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." 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 experience 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. Geilger, 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 dillydally tactics in the adult school case, brought about his conviction, against the fice of common pleas judge. In this case, as the readers of The Gazette will recall, the attempt was made 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, the C. R. P. League was organized and injunction proceedings begun. Notwithstanding the suit was filed in September and a temporary injunction asked of Judge Geilger 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 the school had against the success so-called "experiment." That the Geilger 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 Geilger's Afro-American supporters, some of whom were active in the opposition to the "jim crow" school. MORE COOLIDR 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. 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 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 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 throughout 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 throuht 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. 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 fame." While not specifically committing himself to the commission plan, Editor Smith shows that both of these gentlemen have racial antipathies to the colored people of this country. The district he pushed 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.) Planet. DONITHEN BRUTALLY FRANK! 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 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 and, after seeing another man (white) who had arrived after we did but whom his secretary (Donithen's) explained was a delegate from California and wanted to catch a train, Mr. Donithen 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 myselfself Dalbany and Rev. Webster, I read the following: "Mr. Donithen, we come to you as the representatives of the thinking 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 Nathan 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 our votes one of the seven persons announced as having been recently selected as Ohio's candidates for delegates-at-large to the next Republican National Convention. The following were named as a committee to present the foregoing resolution to Chairman Montgomery of the State Republican Executive Committee and to the Hon. Hoke Donithein. Ohio Coolidge leader, the Republican National Committee 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 Columbus, J. W. J. 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 the gentleman had left town, at noon, not be back until that day. The chairman 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 the committee might deliver the person. The remaining members of 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 responded: it too was important that he want a petition 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 said: "Do you want a meeting he was leaving for Chicago to attend 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 any way the committee would be able to attend the meeting. 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 Donthien'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 minutes ahead of time, the party was now one-thirty, the appointed hour. From the room where we sat we could see the outside door and every time the door would open we would think—here he is now—but that door opened and closed several times between one-thirty and three-thirty, with Mr. Mr. Donthien known by 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 was going to be 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. Donlithen entered and, after seeing another man (white) who had arrived after we did but whom his secretary (Donlithen's) explained was a delegate from California and wanted to catch a train, Mr. Donlithen came into the room where we were waiting and made no excuse whatever for keeping us waiting for more than a minute, and to any self-respecting human being, don't you think? I was standing when he entered and, after introducing myself, Editor Dabney and Rev. Webster, I read the following: "Mr. Donithen, we come to you as the representatives of the thinking Negro Republicans, men and women of the state of Ohio, none the less Republican because they dare think for themselves, and in their behalf we urge you to use your good offices to help us, and to help corded what we are asking for. We nize, 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, for the success of 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 this resolution (published in the newspaper consideration, Mr. Dabney will make few remarks and then Rey, Webster LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law Section 6278.

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 afterhere provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars and goes from the county in which the assault is made.

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, and share allike the widow receiving such share. If there be no widow or 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 an intestate.

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.) 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: UBS. ed. g. representative of victim of lynching. injury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. must member of mob. nst another county. 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 and costs from the county from which the mob came, gence on part of officials of such unless there be contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in falling to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6288. 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 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whenever, being the proprietor or his employee, manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except 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 fine than the fifty dollars nor more than the hundred dollars, or more than ninety dollars. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed --- This law has reappeared been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, G., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Carte My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER 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.
