"The Negro in ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25; 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, JULY, 26 1924 Brave Masked Mob Of Fifty White Brutes Does This At Midnight Leading New York Daily Paper Scores Bryan, McAdoo and the Democratic National Convention for Their Disgraceful Stand on the Klan Issue—Like the Republicans. Philadelphia, Pa. -- After firing shots and burning a fiery cross, a band of fifty hooded and white-robed brutes, caused more than a hundred colored men to abandon their camp at Beverly Hills. The flare of the cross hit up the camp site shortly after 1 a.m., July 8, and an hour later more than 300 persons from West Philadelphia were searching the country side for the hooded scoundrels. A few minutes after word of the demonstration reached some of the boys' homes, the armed men were on the scene. While the men searched through the woods and surrounding fields, about 100 women, many of them mothers of the boys, invaded the camp, tore down about half of the pups-enters and took 40 of the boys back home. Near the ruins of the cross, which had been burned on a hill overlooking the camp, Upper Darby police found a large cardboard sign which read: and sent home in hysteria. The hard-working parents of these children, by stitting and scraping, had gathered together enough money to send their children to the camp. Experienced instructors were secured to teach the children the essentials of good citizenship. But the Negro children found that there are those in this nation claiming to be Americans who want no Negro to be instructed in citizenship. And those five patriots, the comrades and brothers of the rabid klansmen now at the Democratic convention attacked the Negro children at midnight and raised their fiery cries. Have the teens which sheltered the children. On course, any moron who senses a thrill in being a religious bigot, must feel dated when he finds little children fleeing in error from him. These egg-brained asses, who never possessed the courage to attack men able to pose with them mentally, are chosen with joy. "Leave before sunrise. K. K. K." Although those in charge of the camp were reluctant to leave, the boys returned to their homes at the behest of their parents and the camp was abandoned, although some fathers of the boys had agreed that the camp be continued and offered to maintain a nightly guard there. The arrival of the dirty cowards in robes and hoods was heralded by several shots. The following is an editorial from the N. Y. Daily Bulletin of Wednesday, July 9, '24, from which the Philadelphia letter, published above, was also taken: THE KLAN TODAY. In every dark attic and cellar bedroom in the nation the klan is gathering to hatch new conspiracies. The klan, everywhere, is enveloped by the audacity and inpudence of the kleagues and their creatures who have attended the Democratic National Convention. When-men like William Jennings Bryan and William Gibbs McAdoo, who have pretended to be leaders of the people, stand with the klan, every kleagle in every klavern, accepts it as proof that the devillies of the klan have been enforced and approved. That is why yesterday 200 Negro lads, none over 18 years of age, were driven from their summer camp in Pennsylvania. THE SUPREME LIFE And Casualty Co.'s Annual Meeting —Financial Statement—Principal Officers, Etc. Columbus, O.—The annual meetin of THE SUPREME LIFE & CASUALTY COMPANY, was hold here at the home office, with a large and very representative attendance from Ohio and other states. The meeting of stockholders and conference of managers from states and districts were replete with animated discussions, real enthusiasm and a forward looking program. The statement of the financial condition of the company disclosed stendy progress and growth during the year, with an increase of 40 per cent in premium income from the year and an increase of 33 1-3 per cent in other income for the same period. And there was an appreciable decrease noted in the administrative expense of the company for the preceding twelve months of operation; and there was a resultant increase of approximately 20 per cent in admitted assets. The industrial life program, which was announced, a year ago, has been put into successful operation. The principal officers of The Supreme Life & Casualty Co. are: T. H. Hays, chair.; board; T. K. Gibson, pres.; A. P. Bentley, sec., and G. A. Stewart, cashier. Sang For King And Queen. Philadelphia, Pa.—While Harry T. Burleigh was receiving the Spingari medal here, recently, acting as proxy for Roland Hayes, the tenor soloist, the latter was appearing for his second time in Buckingham Palace, London, England, before the King and Queen by their expressed command. Chivalrous (2) Virginians Chirvavous (7) Virginians. Alexandria, Va.-Twelve white brutes, recently entered the home of Harry Jackson, tied a rope about his neck, dragged him through several streets, painted him white, covered his head with a sack and threatened to kill him. Two of the ring-leaders of the mob, captured by the police responding to a riot call, were fined $100 and costs each in police court, and were sentenced to thirty days in the city jail. and sent home in hysteria. The hardworking parents of these children, by stinting and scraping, had gathered together enough money to send their children to the caust. Experienced instructors were secured to teach the children the essentials of good citizenship. But the Negro children found that there are those in this nation claiming to be Americans who want no Negro to be instructed in citizenship. And those分位arios, the comrades and brothers of the rabid klansmen now at the Democratic convention attacked the Negro children at midnight and raised their fiery crosses above the tots which sheltered the children. Of course, any moron who senses a thrill in being a religious bigot must feel inclined when he finds little children fleeing in terror from Him. These egg-braided asses, who never possessed the courage to attack men or to corpete with them mentally or physically, are choked with joy when they find themselves able to drive children into hystories. And drive children into hystories. The terrified Negro children, are the kind of men McAdoo supports and sustains by his refusal to condemn the klan as a vicious thing. and rascals and ruffians like these are the kind of men bald-pated Bryan satisfies when he pleads with the Democratic convention not to assail the klan. Bryan and McAdoo, and the others of the klan army, who have paralyzed the Democratic Convention with their klavent tactics, have sentenced this nation to a generation of religious fanaticism. They have given new hope, to the freaks who were finding it difficult to induce the weak-minded to pay $10 for infiltration in the klan. Now klan's organizers can point to Bryan and McAdoo as proof that the hooded mob is approved by men who have secured their bed and board by drawing salaries paid by all the people. Whatever else the Democratic party does, it must purge itself of klanism or die, and it cannot purge itself of klanism until it reads Bryan and McAdoo out of the party. If they remain in the organization, citizens who stand against outlawry and banditry and the abuse of children will find it impossible to stay with them. "FIRED" THE MINISTER. After a "Church" Meeting In His Court Rrom-One-Arm Men Birmingham, Ala.—Another star has been added to the judicial crown of Judge Ab because he has settled another church quarrel to the apparent satisfaction of all concerned after infunctions and damage suits had been resorted to in vain. The controversy grew out of the unwillingness of the Rev. Henry Beery of Mt. Elbo Baptist church to resign at the request of his congregation. The judge called the members of the church to his court and started proceedings with a regular church service, at which the ousted preacher led in prayer. The judge then asked all members in good financial standing to vote. Although the court room was crowded, only eleven could make the grade. All, however, were in favor of making the preacher quit. "You are duly fired. Parson." Judge Ab told the preacher, "All churches take up a collection, so we will take one, too. I want two one-armed men for that job." There was no one-armed man, so the judge turned over the collection job to court attaches. The collection amounted to $6.03 and a pair of dice. "I'll keep these myself to settle hard cases with," Judge Ab said, appropriating the dice. "We'll give this money to the preacher who has just been fired. We want everybody to be in good humor." Mrs. Jennie Jackson of N. Y. City, former resident of this city and Detroit, has purchased a home in Yonkers, N. Y. She is the widow of Mr. Harvey Jackson, years ago a resident of this city. One of the most effective and at the same time most pleasant things to use to purify the atmosphere of a room and to drive out mosquitos, other insects and germs is Lucky Star incense. Its use is healthful, too. The Gazette recommends them to its readers. Trial size box, 25 cents; full size box, $1. Your drug-gist should have them. President of The Negro Citizens' Republican Club And a Leading Attorney. Philadelphia, Pa.—"I am for John W. Davis for President because he fought to keep 'jim crow' laws and grandfather clauses from being put on the statute books of West Virginia." This statement was made, July 17, by Edward W. Henry, president of the Negro Citizens' Republican club of this city, an attorney-at-law, and for more than seven years practicing in Clarksville, W. Va. "John W. Davis is a man of destiny and bound to win," he continued. "He has been my friend for years. The colored voters helped elect him to the West Virginia Legislature, and then sent him to Congress from the Clarksville district that had been normally Republican. We never had cause to regret our action. As Congressman, Mr. Davis said: I love the Constitution of my country, and I stand on R. I will never consent to any citizens being deprived of their constitutional rights as long as I have a voice to oppose it." "And today colored people live in peace in the home-state of John W. Davis. If he still stands, as I know he does, where he stood in the old times. I am going to take the stump for him all over the land." The stand taken by Attorney Henry, long an active Republican, will probably cause him to resign from the Citizens' Republican club the Lincoln League and the steering committee of the Conference of Colored Republican Voters, of which he is secretary. Robbed of $400! Brenham, Tex.—After John and Lizzie Vanners, an aged couple, had been robbed of $400 in bills that they had secreted in a green box in their home, they became frightened and told some white friends about a lot of coins they had buried in a chicken house. At their request officers were sent to their home and assisted them in digging up thousands of small coins from the chicken house, the total reaching $3,982. The money filled two large flour sacks and several smaller sacks. At the suggestion of the officers they deposited the money in a bank. They have been servants in prominent families here for years, and the money represented their surplus earnings extending over a period of forty years. No one of their acquaintances had ever suspected that they had saved any money. Mrs. Mary B. Talhert Memorialized, Columbia, S. C.—Among the resolutions adopted by our South Carolina Federation of Women's clubs at its fourteenth annual convention held here, recently, was one in memory of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert (deceased), of Buffalo, N. Y., one time president of the national organization, praising her for a "life of service, for her devotion to our soldiers overseas, her zeal in cancelling the mortgage on the Douglass home, the recognition given her in the award of the Spingarn medal and her untiring and unselfish work in raising funds for the N. A. A. C. P. to aid it in carrying out its broad humanitarian program." Ras Tafari in London London, July 17.—King George and Queen Mary this week entertained one of the most pictureque potentates who has ever visited these shores—His Imperial Highness, Ras Tafaril, Makkonen, Regent of the Empire and heir to the throne of Ethiopia, or Abyssinia, who, with his wife and a large suite, is paying a state visit to this country. He is ruler of the last remaining independent African state and he is supposed according to native legend, to be a descendant of the line founded by the union of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Tribute To W. C. Handy. New York City—In his famous "Round The Town" column, running in the N. Y. Mall-Telegram, S. Jay Kaufman recently asked his readers, "Who is America's greatest composer, and why do you think so?" Gordon Lawrence, critic of note, sent in the following reply which was published in "Round the Town": "W. C. Handy, who first wrote down the 'blues' and caught the rhythm of the music which arose among the blacks of the Mississippi swamps. His 'Memphis Blues' started an era in the popular music of the world. Who has had more imitators and less credit?" Lynching Statistics. Atlanta, Ga.—In the thirty-nine years ending with 1923 American mobs took the lives of 4,128 persons. Of the victims, 1,036 were white and 3,146 were colored. Eighty-five of the number were women, 17 of them white and 68 colored. Hundreds more, not included in the 4,128, were killed during the period in race riots, most of them innocent of any offense, as in Tulsa, East St. Louis, Ill., Washington, D. C., and Chicago. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS GOVERNMENTSEGREGATION Written Exclusively for "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE by Prof. Neval H. Thomas—His Introductory Communication—Do Not Miss Any of Us. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—Sogregation is the order of the day in nearly every department of the federal and municipal service here. It meets our faithful employees wherever they serve, often entailing waste of time, inconvenience to the employee, and constant humiliation at being set asid as someone unworthy of contact with other groups. They find it in the use of toilets, recreation rooms, roof-gardens, and at their posts of duty. I shall endeavor to set forth in other articles just how far this undemocratic thing has gone in each of the government's departments. Just this month it has worked its serious loss in an unexpected way. The new government reclassification of positions and salaries has just been put into operation by the reclassification board created by the last congress. By the steady process of elimination of our clerks, and by the segregation of our employees into the messenger, laborers, and charwoman class, it has been very easy to inflict serious injustice upon the Negro. This reclassification board has reduced the already underpaid employees, in some cases, as much as $150 per year. The intent of congress was to give relief to these lower groups, but they are the only ones to suffer. All of the clerks received increases, but the facts that applicants who have passed the civil service must send photographs showing the color of their skin, has prevented the appointment of colored applicants, though they often pass examinations with higher averages than the whites. Then, again, as I have stated there has been a gradual weeding out of efficient colored clerks. One division a few years ago had eight colored clerks; today it has but one. So, reclassification does little for the colored clerk since they are so few. In the higher positions, such as clerks and assistant chiefs, and assistant secretaries to cabinet officers FRANCE'S TRIBUTE TO HEROES. French General Extols Valor of Negro Soldiers, Dedicating Rheims Monument. Rheims, France., July 17.—Inaugurating a monument, Sunday, to the Negro troops in the great war, Gen. Achnard praised their, courage and the exalted part they took in final victory. Answers German Charges. He replied to the German campaign against Negro troops, saying: "Our black sharpshooters conducted themselves like good Frenchmen, showing themselves worthy of fighting by our side. "They were terrible to the Germans," he continued, "because they regarded the Germans as savages fighting with disloyal arms and devastating everything from love of evil. Our sharpshooters fought well for France because she treats them with humanity and, justice, and on the same footing as her other children." Edouard Daladier, minister of the Colonies, said that $00,000 black troops fought for France, and 30,000 were killed on the battle field. OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Baltimore, Md., July 10, '24.—For the benefit and information of American citizens, or for that matter any person who may be interested by attractive offers and promises by the Garvey Movement with Liberia as the objective point, as Liberian Consul General in the United States, I am authorized to say that no person or persons leaving the United States under the auspices of the Garvey Movement in the United States, will be allowed to land in the Republic of Liberia. All Liberian consuls in the United States are requested not to visite the passports of any persons leaving the United States for Liberia under the direction of that movement. It is due the public, in order to save future trouble and embarrassment to uninformed persons, who may leave the United States under the auspices of the Garvey Movement for the Republic of Liberia, that this information be widely circulated. (Rev.) ERNEST LYON. Liberian Consul-General in the U. S. IN UNION Y IS SUPPORTED LE COPY FIVE CENTS ren! TSEGREGATION hly Exposed In A Of Letters "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE Thomas—His Introductory -Do Not Miss Any G. on. to which segregation says we shall not aspire, reclassification has meant increases from a thousand to twenty-five hundred dollars a year. The faithful colored messenger, often do- ing clerical work, but kept on messenger pay, loses $15 per month, and worse, the poor charwoman and the laborer, drawing even less than the messenger, must lose some six or eight dollars per month. This is but another striking proof that the easiest way to work injustice upon any people is to segregate it. Segregation in city ghettoes will mean poor sanitation, lighting, parking, and paving. Segregation in education will inevitably mean poorer schools, inferior facilities, smaller salaries, and lower per capita expenditure for the Negro child. Segregation in positions will mean lower salaries, and poorer working conditions for the segregated group. Next week, I shall begin with the postoffice department—to tell of segregation in government departments. Neval H. Thomas. To Assemble In Their Eighth Annual Convention at N. Y. City, Next Month—A Gala Time Planned. Indianapolis, Ind.—The eighth annual national convention of Madam C. J. Walker agents will meet August 13 to 17, inclusive. In Abyssinian Baptist church, N. Y. City. It will be the most important meeting in the history of the world's largest organized group of our business women. Aside from the usual routine of business, new legislation governing the conduct of their establishments and the usual advanced instruction in beauty culture, the agents will make a pilgrimage to Madam Walker's grave at Woodlawn Cemetery and select a costly mausoleum for it. Officials of the company will be present, a public program rendered, the annual award of $1,650 in prize money made by the company to its agents, and the winners in the grand trip to the Holy Land contest named and their prize checks exhibited. For a day, the delegates and friends will be guests of Madam A'Lella Walker at Villa Lewaro, her mansion at Irvington-on-Hudson, New York City has planned entertainment, for the visitors, including a moonlight boat ride up the Hudson river, a series of programs, parties, sight-seeing trips, shopping tours, etc. The convention will close Sunday, Aug. 17, with memorial services for the late Madam C. J. Walker, conducted by one of the race's leading divines. Agents from as far away as Jamaica; West Indies, will attend. Mrs. Violet D. Reynolds of this city, secretary of the convention, said, "We expect no less than several hundred delegates at the convention." Headquarters have been established at the Walker Beauty Salon. 110 W. 136th St., where all inquiries should be sent. This One, Admitted She Lied! Cincinnati, O.—Breaking down a story told by Della Cobs, (white), age 22, of Montgomery, W. Va., wife of a coal miner, that a "Nugro" had stabbed Paul Rice, age 23, of Williamson, W. Va., in Eden park, July 16, resulted in her arraignment in police court, July 17, on a charge of cutting to kill. Rice was charged with disorderly conduct, but his condition did not permit of his arraignment. July 17. Detectives persuaded the Cobs woman to admit the story she told was untrue. She finally said, when Rice beat her, she stabbed him with a knife.

Our U. S. Veteran's Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., is still in charge of Dr. Chas. M. Griffith (white), although Dr. Jos. H. Ward is advertised as "medical officer in charge." --- Writing from Washington, D. C., Prof. Neval H. Thomas says, in referring to our candidacy for Governor: "I glory in your attitude." Sure he does. This is the position of every loyal member of the race in the state of Ohio and the country. --- Our good friend, Editor Wendell Phillips Dabney of Cincinnati, has increased the size of his excellent paper, The Union, from a six column to a seven column folio and in these "Coolidge" hard-times, too, mind you. Congratulations and best wishes, highly esteemed confre! --- The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a timely and excellent communication from Major Allen S. Peal, a member of the faculty of Western University, Kansas City, Kan., a native Cleveland for many years a resident of Columbus, which it hopes to be able to publish in our next week's issue of "The Old Reliable." --- Although a group of white high school students in Darby, Pa., protested against the appointment of Hilda Bolden as valedictorian of their class, and threatened to hold separate commencement exercises, the school authorities, led by Walter R. Donthett, superintendent of schools, stood by Miss Bolden. That settled the "strike," too. "So far as we are concerned there is no race distinction in the schools," Mr. Donthett is quoted as saying. Good! --- The St. Paul (Minn.) bulletin-Appeal has suspended publication Editor and Publisher Owen Howell announcing in its last issue that our people of that city and vicinity had failed to support it, and it was a good paper, too. The Bulletin-Appeal was our only publication in St. Paul and our people of that city are the greatest losers as a result of its death. They will realize this fact before the year is out. The Appeal was started and published for years (until his death) by John Quincy Adams, many years ago editor and publisher of the Louisville (Ky.) Bulletin. Former Gov. Thos. W. Herdwick of Georgia is a candidate for U. S. senator. He says he "objects to any agency that teaches racial or religious prejudice," in speaking of the ku klux klan. Really, this seems too good to be true. But maybe he means he objects to any agency that teaches racial or religious prejudice which affects his people. He has never said anything that we can recall that would give us reason to believe that he had our people in mind when he made that statement. And he has been in public life for many years. --- FOOLING ALL THE PEOPLE? The headlines inform us that both "wets" and "drys" are pleased with the Democratic platform. Both leaguers and anti-leaguers are pleased with it. Both Democratic factions express their satisfaction with the gentleman named as standard-bearer. Both reactionaries and radicals declare they will support him. Some platform. Some nominee. There is an old proverb beginning "between two stools—". We shall see. It did not take that New York jury long to dispose of Gaston B. Means, once the Senate committee released him and permitted him to be tried. The jury was out an hour and then brought in a verdict of guilty, convicting both Means and his secretary of conspiracy to withdraw illegally whiskey from distilleries. The Democratic platform starts out with a tride against Republicans for alleged corruption. The people will not forget that much of the testimony upon which that allegation is based came from Means, who now has had added to his long criminal record the conspiracy conviction in New York. JAPANESE GIVE REASON THE Japanese GIVE REASON. The Japanese Chronicle, which seems to be somewhat envious of American prosperity, in a recent editorial says, "The growth of the silk industry in America is due largely to protection." We admit it. The Chronicle continues: "Of late years the United States, which used to import large quantities of manufactured cotton from the customers, who had bought the raw cotton, has taken up the manufacture of cotton and now makes up the greater part of the cotton produced." We admit that, too. What used to happen was under the old Democratic tariff policy they preferred to sell two bales of cotton to England and have one made up into goods and sent back here free of duty, to having both bales made up here with the cotton textile industry adequately protected. The Democrats have not fully recovered from that idea even at the present time; but the American textile manufacturers have, North and South, and the Chronicle appears to appreciate the way protection works out in practice.

Jolibois Filis, Nationalist leader, has been rearrested and thrown into jail by Commandant Russell of the U. S. Marine Corps, for having denounced through the press the seizing of Haitian marines and the expulsion of naval officers who have caused telegraphs of protest to be sent President Coöldige and Secretary of State Hughes. Haitien Riflers Proclaimed Port au Prince, Haiti, July 21.—The Haitien rifle team which performed so brilliantly in the Olympic games in France, tying the French team for second honors, arrived home today and was given a great public welcome. The marksmens were met by a regiment of gendarmerie and were escorted through the presidential palace where they were given a reception by the president of the republic.

The charter was approved $100,000, Editor Mitchell, Jr., will soon have his bank reopened. Doings Of The Race The Louisiana legislature has passed a bill, which has been signed by Gov. Fiqua, providing for segregation in communities having a population of 25,000 or more. The law will be contested in the highest court of that state and the country. The governor of Louisiana, Birth (Rape) of a Nation," was barred from West Newton, Mass., two weeks ago. With the nomination of Ed. Jackson on the Republican ticket as Governor of Indiana, which is looked upon as a victory of the klans, the Republican party will find it hard to deal with anti-klan sympathisers in the November election. The turn of the balance to the klans makes the November issue plain; a Democratic ticket or a klan ticket. Which? That is the question. The vote that is of interest has indicated a desire and intention to vote the straight Democratic ticket at the November election—Indianapolis Recorder. There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The American Negro must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything affecting the lives of the American Negro is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner will we attain our rightful place as American citizens.—Philadelphia Tribune.

Live Candidates For Governor And Lieutenant-Governor One in Northern Ohio; the Other in Southern Ohio- Their Platform-A Clarion Call to Our Voters to Organize Smith and Shanklin Clubs Dear Friends:——The thing to do NOW, just as soon as possible, is to perfect the organization of Harry C. Smith For Governor Clubs in your city and county. There could be several of them if our men and women there so desire. We MUS$ have ORGANIZED support in order to secure the BEST results in this campaign for our candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. If only half of our 200,000 voters in the state of Ohio will cast their ballots for *OUR* candidates, it will be impossible for them to fail to secure the nomination at the primaries, August 12th, because of the large number of white Republican candidates. They will split the white vote of the state in such a way as to make it impossible for any one of them to win if only HALF OF OUR VOTERS in the state are loyal and vote for our two state candidates. There is no good reason why we should not whitelist the candidates to because it is TRUE. We are never going to make any progress in politics until we learn the lesson of standing together and voting en masse for *OUR OWN* candidates. Two and four years ago they gave me a splendid vote. That same vote, with the white votes added that I am sure to get, because they have ALWAYS been given me when a candidate, will insure us the nomination at the August primaries. The thing we have to do is, to get our men and women to *REGISTER* and vote RIGHT to the primaries, August 12th of this year. Please have the club members write their friends and acquaintances in other Ohio cities, and urge them to act promptly. Trusting you will take up the matter and ACT QUICKLY, I am sincerely Yours for the race, Harry C. Smith. HARRY C. SMITH'S PLATFORM. Former Representative Harry C. Smith, for forty-one years editor and proprietor of The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio, and 74th General Assembly of Ohio, filed June 11, 1924, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor at the approaching primaries. Mr. Smith was one of the eight candidates, two years ago, receiving a larger vote at the primaries than two or three of them; and four years ago, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, polled sixty-one thousand and eighty-one votes.—Columbus (O.)

(a) Equalize the tax burden by mandatory re-approval every four years. (b) Enforce the pilgrimage rule of 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 with whom you come in contact. If it can be made generally known and acted 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 political bootlickers" and other white men's writings (W. M.

One-half of all taxes now collected go to meet interest charges and sinking fund obligations. No bonds for current expenses should be issued without the vote of the people. All bonds should be limited to the life of the improvement and no refunding of the debt beyond maturity.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1924 THE LIMIT. When Melvin Chisum or any other Afro-American newspaper correspondent, writer or editor, calls upon the men of our press to "close ranks" in support of President Coolidge, in the face of his segregation of our employees at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service; and 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, that person impresses us as being one of the most abject and pitiful "political bootlickers" the race has produced in all of our near half-century experience as an editor and publisher. Then, too we cannot forget the President's refusal to take a stand in favor of law and order and against the Ku Klux Klan encouragement of racial antagonism. When asked to do so, the national Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This is not all, either, but is quite sufficient for the present. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE MUST ACT! Senator Frank B. Willis, 21 Federal Bldg. Columbus, Ohio Dear Senator:—One of several things of great interest to my people that has caused pretty general criticism of President Coolidge and that will cause him the loss of thousands of votes, this fall, unless he takes more favorable action and promptly, too, is the case of the former soldiers of the 24th U. S. Infantry still serving in Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Others are not abolish the SEGREGATION of African American employees in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service; and make at least a few (Presidential) appointments to replace 'the many taken from my people by President Wilson and kept from them by President Warren G. Harding and his successor. During the present primary campaign as well as the campaign this fall, I will make a number of speeches, in the course to my people particularly. The grievance red to and others will have to be discussed. With TWO Republican candidates for President, and the consequent outlook for a nother "Roosevelt-Taff-Wilson" contest, the prospects of party success at the polls, this fall, are anything but bright at best. Therefore, it seems to me that President Coolidge, in addition to setting rid of his Virginia "illy-white" campaign, Bassom Slemm, could help himself grow and to the extent of many thousands of votes thrust the North, by paying prompt attention to the matters referred to and settling them right! You are in a position to impress him with the importance of doing this and I sincerely hope you will do so and at once, "for the good and welfare of the Grand Old Republican Party." With best wishes, I am Very truly yours. Harry C. Smith. Editor, The Gazette. ALLEGED "NEGRO LEADERSHIP" A JOKE. The "Nero" national convention followers, delegates and all, both Republicans and Democrats, were decidedly impotent, this year. They were turned down flat on every hand. They were turned down flat on Vernon and the leading "Nero" delegates, their appalled in vain to the Republican convention's committee on resolutions, and none of our delegates had the temerity to bring any of their matters to the attention of the convention while it was in session. The Republican National committee had the whiteness of Georgia and Mississippi and favored the lily-white of Texas and other southern states. The 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" to emphasized the fact that so far as the Republican management of things Republican, Mr. "Negro" is persona non grata until the campaign opens and the time to vote arrives. Then they will be hunting the "colored brother" until killing him to death, as usual, until voting on the day when the voting and "loving of the colored brother" will end until the next campaign and election. Not in the last quarter of a century has the selfish alleged "Negro" leadership ever been so thoroughly exposed in all of its nakedness and sinfulness as it was here in this city while the recent Republican National convention was in session and for several days prior to its organization. They, the alleged "Negro" leaders, are a huge foke and every intelligent member of the race, at all familiar with conditions political, knows this. And also knows that their boasted "leadership" is nothing more nor less than an effort to obey white political masters. Whether it is best for them is of little or no concern to them just so they can "place" themselves or their friends "in line for a job" in case the party is successful at the polls. What the "Negro" needs most, today, is intelligent, UNSELFISH leadership! FEAR A DEADLOCK! Party Leaders Look For This In November Coolidge, Davis and La Follette Strength in Electoral Votes Forecasted—House and U. S. Senate Vote —The U. S. Constitution Vague On Final Settlement. 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 earnestness with which Senator La Follette has gone about the organization of his independent movement. Both Republican and Democratic leaders view the proposed with uneasiness, for if neither Cooley nor Davis is able to command a majority of the electoral college in November they envision a situation of chaos unprecedented in American history. equal number of Democrats and Republicans in the state delegations—Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire and New Jersey. 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. 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 Combining, They Say. It would be confusing enough ordinarily, their 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 Dakotas, it gives him thirty-five votes in the election, but only 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-sight votes in the election. Neither Republicans, Democrats nor independents actually control the House. 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.

In party lines held, the House could choose the president—for the constitution specifies that the winner must have a majority, in this case twenty-five votes. 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 drawn into the Senate, which under the Constitution, would proceed to elect one of the vice presidential candidates to the White House. In the Senate the voting would not be by states but by individuals. The present Senate is composed of fifty-one Republicans, forty-three Democrats and two Farm-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 Mottie himself, Brookkart of Iowa, Nebraska, Norbuck of South Dakota, North Dakota, Howell of Nebraska, 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 election reached the constitution itself is vaguely 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 also allows a judge to interpret the constitution. Parry 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 1911 the House elected Thomas Jefferson, the former fight that lasted thirty-six ballots. Adams was elected over Jackson in similar circumstances. Factions Debate War Methodist Students Give Version of National Struggles. LOUISVILLE. Ky. — Pacifist and advocates of preparedness for war had their initial before the national conference of Methodist students here with a glint of Asiatic exclusion and a flurry of oratory over the Ku Klux Klan as items of considerable interest. Among Adams, Indianapolis, national judge, locate of the American Legion, advocated preparedness and attacked the pacifist movement. Pacifist, he said, sought to "reduce patriotic Americans either to pusillanimous cowardice or anarchistic communism." Gerald Stedman, a student of Albion college at Albion, Mich. and a World War veteran, sounded the note which was intended to announce the pacifist movement and finished with the declaration that certainly Christianity cannot send us into hell again, even if our nation must." Other student speakers, all assuring they were avowed pacifists and "for peace as against preparedness," were Howard Becker, Westchester university, Chicago, Thomas Harrison, Boston university, who spoke with an American Legion button shining in the lapel of his coat, and Dr. Jesse Holmes of Swarthmore college, Swarthmore, Pa. Mr. Stedman, leading for the attack against war asserted that "no war against books" have established laison with, no. "I solemnly attest that I have received no train loads of paper rubles to influence my personal opinions." Most of the pre-war propaganda he declared, is now realized by "most of us as bitter falsehoods" which caused a soldier to look down a barbed wire to an look down a unknown man" or send liquid flame into the faces of Christian brothers. "When you send a man out to kill his fellow man," the speaker asserted, "you cannot prescribe that he shall do it under certain conditions. You cannot eval passions of the beast, you cannot expect an angelic battle; when you send a man into hell, certain of its atmosphere will stick to him all his life. The war is insanity." The speaker drew grim word pictures of the depressions for battle of the battle itself and of its hideous aftermath.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made.

A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, but the injury received is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood, in manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share, there be no widow or child of such person, and, as a dependent, 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 suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by a mob. Section 6224. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6225.

(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 present in the city. 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-lyning laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lyning laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: B5. ed. 7. representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. 8. last member of mob. just 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 the part of officials of such county, there was contributory negligence; no 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 doctor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1884: The General Coge of Ohio: Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, furniture, catering house, barber-shop, public reception 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 fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the mannequin section shall also pay not less than five dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the per person aggrieved thereby, to be perished 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 hill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. 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 letter, over the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last. 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. O. Grant.
