Weaver, age 48, of 2331 Thomas Weaver, was found dying, last Saturday, and his wife was questioned by police concerning his condition. Mrs. Weaver called police, shortly after noon, and informed them that her husband had shot himself accidentally while cleaning a gun. Upon arrival, police found Weaver unconscious on the floor of a bedroom. He died on route to St. Alexis' hospital. Police said they believed Weaver had been murdered. Questioning his wife as to what enemies her husband might have had, she told them she was in the kitchen when she heard the report of the gun, but could give them no more light on the matter. It looks bad for Mrs. Weaver, according to the latest news. Health Commissioner Harry L. Rockwood, Monday night, ordered compulsory vaccination for more than 4,000 people living between Scovill and Woodland Aves, in the area bounded by E. 35th and E. 38th Sts., because of a new outbreak of smallpox in that neighborhood. Police began roping off and quarantining the entire district. Tuesday at 6 a.m., Dr. Rockwood, with twenty-five doctors and sanitary police, began going from house to house until every one living there had been vaccinated. Two new cases of advanced smallpox were discovered in that district, Monday, by district physicians. Previously other cases had been removed from the same buildings. Monday's cases brought the total of known cases to eighteen. There have been thirty cases since June 1, and four deaths in Cleveland. The death rate of approximately 20 per cent indicates an unusually virulent form of the disease, according to Dr. Rockwood. URBANA—Dr. and Mrs. Wm. Mosby, Dr. and Mrs. F.

Another "Stock-selling Bubble:" Atlantic City, N. J.—Plans for a fourteen-story hotel here, which was to have been the finest of any built for use of the race, have (as usual) gone up in a bubble. Week before last, some of our people who had been induced to buy stock in the Fitzgerald Hotel and Development Corporation applied to Vice Chancellor Robert H. Ingersoll for the appointment of a receiver to administer the affairs of the corporation. The receiver was appointed. The Fitzgerald Hotel and Development Corp. scheme was started about two years ago. While others have their minds on the tariff and taxes, on the League of Nations and a merchant marine, 12,000,000 Americans, to the manner born, Republican by training and in the heart, are thinking of segregation of them in Washington. Attention, Mr. President! As soon as the state, lamented Woodrow Wilson of Georgia, Virginia and, accidentally, New Jersey, felt easy in the chair of state he and the first Mrs. Wilson decided to remove all doubt as to their section and notions of life. The easy and the proper way, they concluded, was to take action against Americans of Color. In their brains and hearts segregation was born. For the first time the government embraced "Jim crow." Signs went up and orders went forth that henceward Washington, seat of the government, must be moved to Baal. bow the glove Attention., Mr. President! What will the son of New England do about segregation in the departments at Washington? What will this stand-bearer of the Republican party answer to the petition for relief from this crime against the Union, this humiliation inflicted upon a people whose offense is that they are Regents publicans and that once, at the urgency of solicitation of Lincoln, helped to save the Union when the Wilson crowd had it by the throat? Clerks are separated by color, by race in their daily labors, and conventions are labeled "for white" "for Colored" is all of white's save that of the postoffice. Harry S. New, last of the stalwarts, postmaster general, damned in hot and ready phrase the suggestion that segregation of citizen from citizen could exist under his knowledge "That don't go for me." were his words. Not only throughout the departments but "jim-crow" segregation swaggers up and down the corridors of the capitol and finds himself at case under the dept. In one taxpayers of Color, citizen of the common state, may not eat in the restaurants of the capitol. This was not always so. The corn bread brigade of the Democratic party, fresh from the valleys and swamps of Dixie, and unused to a square meal, or a napkin, eroded for the close of restaurants on Americans of Color as soon as the Wilson gang hit Washington, what of this? Or Mr. Coolidge, What what profit is it to continue the humiliation of millions of citizens? What, where is the gain in honor or security? Of what profit is it for the Republican party to further the designs of the Democrats to browbeat a Race for having been emancipated by Lincoln and tying up with the Republicans? the republic. Segregation at Washington, is a crime and seudal. It was born in an executive order, and, Mr. President, it may die as it was born. The flourish of a pen promulgated it and the stroke of a pen may recall it. Virginia conceived it. Massachusetts can meet it and undo it. It was written to tell Americans of Color where to get off. By cancellation of it Mr. Conlidge may tell them where on! to get on: To choke segregation, to death would, be politically expedient and morally right. Segregation at Washington must go. The dome of the capital must shelter only MEN—not color, not creed, not race, but MEN. I am a lawyer. Take your pen in hand. Mr. President—Chicago Defender. Doings Of The Race Dr. Matthew S. Davage succeeds Dr. J. W. Simmons (white) as President of Clark University, Atlanta, Ga. Dr. I. Garland Penn is still secretary of the M. E. Church's board of education for Afro-Americans. The faculty of Howard University has just been increased in number and efficiency by the addition of Charles H. Houston of Washington, and Harvard Law school; Wm. S.

C.—At the recent commencement of Kittrell College, Dr. John R. Hawkins, of this city, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, made a donation of $5,000 in cash. This is for the new dormitory which is being erected for boys, which the trustees of the college (of which he is one) decided to name the John R. Hawkins, Jr. Memorial Hall, in memory of Prof. Hawkins, son who died as a result of illness contracted in France during the World War. So pleased was Mr. Duke, the great tobacco manufacturer, of Durham, N. C., over Prof. Hawkins' gift, that he telegraphed a $5,000 gift to Kittrell. The college is operated by the A. M. E.

Hallie Q. Brown, ancient and petty, petticoat politician, is still around with her "hefoh de wah" whimpering. Last Sunday she stated that: "My father was a slave in Pennsylvania and thank God he didn't run away. He bought his freedom." Miss Brown would consider it a heinous and unholy thing for a slave to run away. It is the slave physiology that she expounds. She also dared make light of the fact that Jaws and Irish Catholics were fighting to kill the Ku Klux in the National Democratic convention. We take it that the lady is following in the train of her "Uncle Tom" contemporaries and is seeking to gain favor with the political pursestrings of the Republicans as has been her wont. A few years ago she was relieved of her duties at Wilberforce University, but like Banquo's ghost and the old slavery time songs that she typifies she just won't down, but we take great pleasure in knowing that the "Aunt Dinahs" and the "Uncle Toms" are now in the twilight of their careers. Medical The U. S. Civil Service Commission announces an open competitive examination, for junior medical officer (Tuberculosis: Neuropathology) of our U. S. Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, Ala. Applications for the position will be accepted until Aug. 19. Salary, $2,840 a year. Applicants must be medical school graduates or senior students in an institution of recognized standing. Full information and application blanks may be obtained from the U. S. Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C. or from the secretary of the U. S. civil-service examiners at the post-office or customhouse in any city. New York City.—West Indians living here, and there are many of them, are excited over the announcement that emigration from Jamaica to the U. S. has been stopped, at least temporarily, and that the American Consul at Kingston has been instructed by Washington government authorities that only passports of Americans, desiring to come north, are to be vised. --- CHURCH. Washington, D. C.—Chances of the Presidential election of 1924 being thrown into Congress for decision have been materially increased as a result of the Cleveland and New York conventions, and the grim nostress with which Senator La Follette has gone about the organization of his independent movement. Both Republican and Democratic leaders view the prospect with uneasiness, for if neither Coolidge nor Davis is able to command a majority of the electoral college in November they envision a situation of chaos unprecedented in American history. Confusing. They Say. Confusing. They say. It would be confusing enough ordinarily, they declare, to have a presidential election thrown into Congress, with its consequent disturbing effect on business, but at this particular time and with this particular Congress it would be confusion worse confounded. If La Follette makes good the predictions of his followers in carrying Wisconsin, Minnesota and the two Dakota, it will give him thirty-five votes in the electoral college. An even fairly close election between Davis and Coolidge might turn the trick and prevent either from obtaining the required 266, leaving La Follette the balance of power. In this case the twelfth amendment to the constitution provides the House shall proceed to elect a President between the three highest candidates, voting not as 435 individual members, but as state units, making forty-eight votes in all. Here again would be confusion. Neither Republicans, Democrats nor independents actually control the House. th. G. O. P. Has 23 States. The G. O. P. Has 23 States. The Republicans control twenty-three states, equivalent to twenty-three votes — California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wyoming and Wisconsin. The Democrats control twenty states, equivalent to twenty votes—Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. HALLIE Q. BROWN. Medical Officer Examination. West Indians Perturbed. equal number of Democrats and Republicans in the state delegations—Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Harpshire and New Jersey. Hampshire. If party lines held, the House could not elect a President—for the constitution specifies that the winner must have a majority, in this case twenty-five votes. Authoritics "at Sea" Authorities at Sea Unless the House would be able to elect by March 4, the date of the inauguration, then the whole matter would be thrown into the Senate, which under the same provision, would proceed to elect one of the two vice presidential candidates to the White House. In the Senate the voting would not be by states out by individuals. The present Senate is composed of fifty-one Republicans, forty-three Democrats and two Farmer-Labor friends of Senator La Follette. While there is a seeming Republican majority in the Senate actually it can scarcely be said to exist, because it includes such senators as La Follette himself, Brookhart of Iowa, Norris of Nebraska, Nockof of South Dakota, Frezler of North Dakota, Powell of Nebraska, and others whose legislative leanings are toward the Wisconsin senator rather than toward party regularity. Who might emerge out of this weird maze of entanglements as the winner of the 1924 election, is pure speculation. Authorities on the constitution themselves say they do not know. Constitution Vague. After this stage is reached the constitution itself is vague and ambiguous. It makes no provision whatsoever for how the President should be chosen should the Senate fall down on the job, and it is even vague as to whether a Vice President elected by the Senate in such manner is merely the President pro tem or whether he is entitled to a regular four-year term. The supreme court might have to take a hand in it and interpret the constitution. Party leaders on both sides are sufficiently fearful of such a conclusion of the 1924 campaign that they have set constitutional authorities to studying the situation against possible eventualities. Only twice in American history has a presidential election been thrown into the House. In 1801 the House elected Thomas Jefferson over Aaron Burr after a bitter fight that lasted thirty-six ballots. Adams was elected over Jackson in similar circumstances. "JIM CROWED" N. A. A. C. P. OFFICIALS Would Not Permit Them To Practice "Social Equality" In The Main Dining Room New York City—The news has finally leaked out, from delegates to the recent fifteenth annual conference of the N. A. A. C. P., held at Philadelphia, that segregation, was brought home to the executives of that organization itself when a party consisting of the national organization were told flatly by a waiter (white) in a shore inlet at Atlantic City that they could not be served in the main dining room, and that they would have to accept seats in a side room if they expected to enjoy the sumptuous shore dinner which they had planned. The party thus discriminated against and segregated is said to have consisted of Mr. and Mrs. James Weldon Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Bagnall, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur B. Splungn, all of New York, and Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Davis, of Cleveland, O. and Atty. James Cobb, of Washington, D. C. Mr. Johnson is executive secretary of the association, Mr. Bagnall is director of branches, and Mr. Splungn, Jew, is treasurer, Mr. Davis is a member of the Ohio legislature and Mr. Cobb is an assistant prosecuting attorney of the District of Columbia. They refused service in that "side room," of course, and are to enter suit for damages under the New Jersey civil rights law. Innocent—Served 12 Years. Birmingham, Ala.—Charles Johnson, age 32, was sentenced twelve years ago to the penitentiary here and now the authorities have found it all to have been a mistake. He was convicted for the murder of N. L. Wallace (white). No War Veterans There. No War Veterans in Binghampton, N. Y.—In the recent ku klux klan parade here, a man blackened to represent a Negro, and dripping with tar and feathers, was carried on a truck with klansmen holding him. No World War veterans of color in this town or rather city. @SBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION HATES (in Advance) cia gate mee aan Subscribers are requested to remit by PemNik sasasyiecie come: istered letter. iterate cs pontetiea-tn Caovc- dand, Ohio, as second-class: mail matter Address all communications to TANRY O.

C., and elsewhere in the government service; apd in the face of Mr. Coolidge's failure to give us anything like the number of Presidential appointments, the race is entitled to as a potent factor of the Republican party, tha! person impresses us as being one of the most abject and pitiful “political dootlickers” the race has produced in all of our near half-century expe- rience as an editor and publisher. ‘Then, too we cannot forget the Presi dent's refusal to take a agand in fa vor of Iaw and order and against the Ku Klux Klan encouragement of ra- cial and religious antagonism, when asked to do so, recently, by the Na- tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People.

Therefore, it seem: to me that President Coolidge, in ad- dition to getting rid of his Virginis ““fly-white” secretary, C.

They ‘were turned down fiat on every hand. Bishops Carey and Vernon and the Jeading “Negro” delegates, and oth- ‘ors, appealed im vain to the Repub- ‘ean convention's committee on res- olations, and none of our delegates had the tomerity to bring any of heir matters to the attention of the convention while it was in session. ‘Fue Republiean National commit- tee turned down the lily-whites of Georgia and Mississippi and favored the Ily-whites of Texas and other southern states. ‘Tho convention straddled the Ku Klux Klan issue, and said so little, and that in so general a way, in its platform, of interest to the “Negro” that it only emphasized the fact that s0 far as the Coolidge management ‘of things Republican is concerned, Mr. “Negro” is persona non grata until the campaign opens and the time to vote arrives. ‘Then they will be hunting “the colored brother” and “loving him to death”, as usual, until 6 P. M. on election day when the voting and “loving of the colored brother” will end until the next cam- paign and election. Not in the last quarter of a cen- tury has the selfish alleged “Negro” leadership ever been so thoroly exposed in all of its nakedness and supineness as it was here in this city while the recent Republican National convention was in session and for several days prior to its organiza- tion, ‘They, the alleged “Negro” leaders, are a huge joke and every intelligent member of the race, at all familiar with conditions political, knows this.

Live Candidates For Governor And Lieutenant-Governor One in Northern Ohio; the Other in Southern Ohio—The Fulton School Fight Recalled —Judge F. W. Geiger. 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 to our benefit. The many readers of The Gazette, which has appeared on time and without missing an issue for over forty years, know the consistent 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 lieutenant-governor in the person of Geo. W. Shanklin, a carpenter contractor, of this city. Other than these the chief interest locally is in the candidacy of forerunner Common Pleas Judge F. W. Geiger, free of the supreme court. The newspaper release announcing his candidacy mentions the part he had in establishing the juvenile court. M. and uncompromising attitude he has maintained thrust 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 Civil Nine-nothing law, one legal legislation which is against the most effective 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 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 contributes more to the strength of his institution than 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 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. PETER J. BURKE 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 gas line to the consumer; a tax to go to further movement of Ohio roads; a money for mothers' penalties; and "every facility for the education and training of the youth of Ohio". Mr. Shanklin says, and very pertinently, too: "There are HARRY C. SMITH George W. Shanklin that Springfield will be on his list. While Cuyahoga county 's furnishing a candidate for governor, Clark county bids for fame with a candidate forCOUNT-GOOKLIN, in the person of Geo W. Ganklin, carpenter contractor, of this city. 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 passing on a case in that court the inmate would be warned 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 his citizens which, together with his dillidally 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 made to establish a separate ("jim-crow") device of removing the white children of the protest, made by one people, be ignored, the C. R. P. League was organized and injunction procedures 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: 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 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 pretence of sincerity, such as closing the school until after the result might have been different than the one offered by Judge Geilger's Afro-American supporters, some of whom were active in the opposition to the "jim-crow" school. 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 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 Gallipolis—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. ORGANIZE AND SPREAD THE NEWS. Ohio Afro-Americans will have twice as many votes (over 200,000), if our men and women will but register, as will be necessary to nominate our candidates for the Republican nominations for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor. Make this fact perfectly clear to all who whom come generally known and acted upon, the greatly desired results are upon, the greatly desired results are sure to come at the next primary. Make yourself a committee of one to spread this information, and organize in every county in the state where there are any of our people, for the purpose, particularly, of educating them along this line. Pay no attention to "Negro police bootlickers" in the state, for educating them along this line. Pay no attention to "Negro police bootlickers" in the state, for educating them along this line. They are few in number at best and but stumbling blocks in the race of racial progress. We can win—IF WE WILL! Four years ago, the editor of the Gazette polled in excess of 61,000 votes as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State. Two years ago, he beat two or three white candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor. Who said it could not be done? The W. M. N. "political bootlickers." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1924 COMMERCE BODY ADMITS GERMANS Delegates Open International Council To Former Foe 2 CONDITIONS MADE Delegates Ask That Dawes Reports Be Accepted And That Provision For Reparations As Outlined By Chamber In Former Resolution Be Agreed To. PARIS, July—Germany has been admitted to membership in the International Chamber of Commerce. The motion admitting Germany was made by one of the Belgian members and supported by Ettienne Clementel, French Minister of Finance, on behalf of the Cabinet. The motion was accepted by the Council of the Chamber, applauding it. Only two conditions were made by the Council on the German membership. The first one was that German commercial interests should agree to a former resolution of the Chamber respecting reparations, and, second, that the Dawes report be issued. The German Chamber of Commerce has been organized for some time in the hope that its delegates would be admitted to the international body. The German Embassy in Paris, with which the Council of the International Chamber had not communicated, requested permission to send representatives to learn the present manner in which Germany can henceforth take part in the Chamber. Sir Alan G. Anderson, British Controller of Naval Construction, came from London especially to visit missionaries and admitting Germany immediately. He did in this period of conciliation it would be of the first importance for financial and business men of other countries to sit on the same table with Germany and learn at first hand how the German economic interests felt. On Common Ground M. Clementel, in an earnest address, said that Frenchmen could now discuss common questions with Germans face to face. The Belgian members showed strong emotion in moving the resolution and admission of Germany. It has been Belgium rather than France, that the opposition to admitting Germany had come previously. Willis H. Booth Jr., President of the International Chamber of Commerce, made a special visit to Brussels last month especially to feel out the Belgian attitude. He did not observe the Belgians, but left with the feeling that they would be amenable to the desires of other Governments. Anticipating that the German question would be brought up, the meeting for the Council found representatives from nineteen countries present. America was represented by Joel Blyth, W. B. Branch, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Paris, Nelson D. Jay and Basil Miles; Great Britain by Sir Arthur Shirley Benn, Sir Felix Schuster, Sir Algernon F. Firth and Sir Walter Leaf; France by M. Clementel, M. de Laufergue, M. de Riess, Representative men from Czechoslovakia, Japan, Rumania and former enemy countries, including Austria and Hungary, were present. Berlin Woman In Daring Bandit Role. Berlin Woman In Daring Bandit Role. Credited With Nine Robberies And Is at Large BERLIN, July—A long-hafred, strong-armed woman bandit who preys upon men in Berlin suburban trains, has nine victims to her credit within a few days and is still at large, despite the strenuous efforts of the police. She is aided by a man, but it appears that he is the weaker of the two. The woman uses her hair effectively as part of her disguise, the detectives say, and every time she robs an individual and her description is reported, it seems that her hair is done up differently. This he made it difficult for the authorities to get a definite idea of appearance. The woman and her companion have been working nights, making it a practice to attack lone occupants of car compartments. The woman overpowers the victims and is then assisted by her confederate who administers drugs. After going through the victim's pockets they leave him reclining upon the cushioned seat to be found by other passengers. In case the police say, has the woman injured her victim; in fact, she has always been most considerate, except for taking all his jewelry and other valuables and even his cigars and cigarettes, which are exceedingly expensive in Germany 56 present. THE N. A. A. C.P.'S ADDRESS OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW Scores Both The Republican And Democratic Parties Warns Our People To Register and Vote for Candidates Who Are Our Friends Regardless of Their Party Connection—Some Good Advice—THE Ku Klux Klan, Etc. Philadelphia, Pa.—The N. A. A. C. P. has just made public the following message to the American people: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its fifteenth annual conference, assembled here, believes that the pressing problem before the Afro-American, today, is the use of his vote in the approaching election. titude of this nation toward the education of Afro-American children We have no adequate common school facilities and we have continually put forward by U. S. government state and local officials and the great philanthropic foundations, not only undemocratic segregation in education, but the astonishingly undemocratic doctrine that Afro-American should have no voice in the educa We face the two old parties and a possible third party movement. The Republican party, which has always commanded the great majority of our votes, has, during the last two administrations, recognized our right to a voice in the party counsels and made some effort to carry out our wishes in legislation and administration; nevertheless, although in power in all branches of the government, it has specifically failed to abolish segregation in the government offices at Washington, to take any action with regard to "jim crow" cars in interstate travel, to withdraw our military forces from Haliti, and to make a loan to Liberia. The Democratic party appears to us in two distinct parts. The northern wing of the party has recognized our demands in many states and treated us with great fairness. But this northern wing is at the absolute mercy of the "solid South" with its "rotten borough" system depending upon the disfranchisement of the Afro-American; with its segregation and "jim crow" legislation, its mob law and lynching, and its denial of proper education to Afro-American children. Both parties are catering to the Ku Klux Klan, that secret fomenter of religious intolerance, race-hate and midnight murder, whose spread is the greatest proof of national decadence and the greatest menace to democracy. It is manifestly impossible that under these circumstances enfranchised Afro-Americans should vote a straight ticket for either of these parties. Our voting must be primarily a matter of individual candidates for office. In order to vote effectively we must know the records of such candidates. We must demand of them clear statements as to their attitude toward matters of vital interest to us. We must remember that we were elected by the election and other near elections not simply the President of the United States but members of Congress and of the state legislatures; state officials, judges, members of school boards and other local officials. We must especially keep in mind the fact that the emancipation of the Afro-American, today, is more largely a matter of state law and local ordinance than of national enactment and that the interpretation of the law by the courts and the administration of the law by officials are just as important and often far more important than its actual content. We need, therefore, to redouble our efforts to enforce court action and law administration, and we need especially to use our ballot in order to reward our friends and to punish our enemies. We must utterly ignore party labels and vote for the man who will best serve US and our country. The need for such determination is shown in many ways but perhaps more especially by the continued at A "JIM CROW" SCHOOL Robert Hardon, a N. A. A. C. P. Speaker, Advocating Such For "The Gem City"—How About It, Secretary James Weldon Johnson? (Special to The Gazette.) Sunday afternoon at the C. M. E. church, corner of Germantown and Bank streets, a mass meeting was held under the auspices of the Dayton branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Robert Hardon delivered an address on the race question. Among other things he praised the worth of colored teachers and favored separate "jim crow" schools. At the close of his address a lively discussion of the school situation Dayton took place, ending in a decision to appoint a committee to investigate the school situation throughout the city.—Dayton (O. Forum) Dayton, O.—The above clipping, from the Dayton Forum, tells of an N. A. A. C. P. meeting at which separate schools for our people of Dayton were freely discussed. The speaker stated that the N. A. A. C. P. recommends separate schools for certain localities, especially those cities near the "Mason and Dixon" line, largely influenced by southern sentiment. Mr. Hardeney of the University of M. C. P. often spoke of the "colored teacher" and plead that where she could not be placed in the mixed schools. titude of this nation toward the education of Afro-American children. We have no adequate common school facilities and we have continually put forward by U. S. government, state and local officials and the great philanthropic foundations, not only undemocratic segregation in education, but also wholly undemocratic doctrine that Afro-Americans should have no voice in the education of their own children but that their schools and colleges should be dominated by their enemies. We have repeatedly asked Federal aid for education and in answer we have now a bill before Congress which seeks to grant it but which is a travesty on justice as well as on morality, and in systems these very discriminatively against which we diversely protest. Nothing will more quickly bring the old parties to a clear realization of their obligations to us and the nation than a vigorous third party movement. Such a movement may save us from a choice between half-hearted friends and half-concealed enemies or from the necessity of vote sharing. Such a different party names. Such a movement may give the Afro-American and other submerged classes a chance to vote more directly for economic MOORFIELD STORY, ESQ. President of the N. A. A. C. P. emancipation from monopoly and privilege and a fairer chance to work according to ability and share more equitably in the social income. Migration Finally, may we remind the new immigrants to the North as well as Afro-Americans living there that the greatest significance of this migration is the increased political power of black men in America. We have at last found an answer to the mob, the segregationalist and the distranchiser thus economic boycott, but also a chance to gain for ourselves new political power in order to vote our people into freedom. But this means nothing unless it is used with far, reaching intelligence. We must learn to vote; we must study democracy and government; we must not be ashamed, any of us, to confess our ignorance of the machinery of the methods of its political life. Let us learn what, voting means and for whom to vote and how to vote ourselves into free, modern industrial democracy. separate institutions be contended for, for her benefit. The burden of his argument was that the employment of "colored teachers" outweighs all other disadvantages of separate schools. The writer wonders if the N. A. A. C. P. recommends one thing for one locality and another for another locality. Are its speakers consistent with the others? Are they praising a thing that has been an embarrassment to our parents of Dayton for some years. A colored professional man started tampering with the school question here, and as a result secured a little separate school in the rear of Garfield school on the west side, in the heart of the "colored" section. Our children there are housed in some little "fire traps" and the segregated schools are being made some selfish interests to spread this condition over the entire city school system. Fortunately for the city of Dayton, she has a real MAN for superintendent of its schools and he has promised to do justice to our people. Whenever our parents have asked that their children be transferred from the sad Garfield school condition, he has readily consented and no parent is compelled to send his child there. The difficulty rests not on the school board and superintendent, but with "jim crow" agitators, such as the N. A. N. A. C. speaker, Mr. Hardoe. Is the N. A. A. C. P. behind the separate school movement in Dayton and Indianapolis? 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 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 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: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. 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. A sentence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93. v. 161 2.) 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 the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days 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 justice by a mote and assaulted with whips, mobs, dislikes or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to 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 as assaulted by a mob, 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. (98 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. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such deceased, such children 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. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action against the person killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to indemnify the costs of action, in the next successive text for the county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6282. 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 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any person in the presence of such mob. 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 and costs from the county from which the mob came, gence on the part of officials of such cases there was contributory negligence in less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or disurse 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 1894: The General Code of Ohio: See. 12940. Whenever, being the proprietor or his employer or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public convenience 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 found not less than fifty dollars nor more than five 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 received in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. --- This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights 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 Correspondent. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. M 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 the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Office, Leased 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. O. Grant.
