GOSPEL OF OPERATION ary of the great that will make blood that flows ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, AUGUST, 2 1924 To the Support of the Candidacy of The Hon. Harry C. Smith for the Republican Nomination For Governor. Kansas City, Kan., July 29, '24. This is my hurried reply to Ohio friends asking a word for Editor Harry C. Smith. First, I shall say vote for Harry C. Smith because I witnessed him as a good son and a good brother. As a citizen of Ohio, he is first-class and cosmopolitan. Politically, he is clean. He has no oil odors; no personal slander. Why not vote for him? Before man made us partisans, God (is supposed to have) made us men. AND MEN have backbones. I like that slang answer of our doughty boy in France—"I may look like a monkey to you, but I can act like a man." I enjoy the progressive idea of voting for a capable, decent, black man for anything, not because he is a Negro; but because he is not a bigot, is not a Nordic, nor Klan, nor "Kracker! For years I have voted for white men not because they offered friendship or justice to me, but because they were white men—part of "a white supremacy" (which is gradually undoing the sublime achievements of real white men like Sumner and Fremont). I do not believe, in this land, raided from the red men and redeemed by the black men, there should ever be "white supremacy." And no sane person fears black supremacy. A vote for Editor Smith, a scholar, law-maker, business man, patriot, is proof that I am a first-class American, demanding character and not color. White race predestination is silly. Dark race proscription is unfair. The dark woman is proscribed—voted out generally by the white race. Why does the average white woman disown her darker cousins? Is she honest about sex justice? Should not sex rise above race and leave no woman beyond the pale of decency? "Race" does not spell virtue. Editor Harry C. Smith as governor will defend womanhood, manhood and children of Ohio, regardless of race, color or creed. A vote for Editor Smith is the only sure vote for an anti-klan governor. And that is more than you can vouch for in any other candidate, state or national. A word about. "Little Negro Beaten." Those little fellows never come out for anybody or anything (unless for a free political lunch.) They are hopeless dependents, political slaves, even ignorant of vest-pocket voting. They will pass away as have those masiodonts of ages all—bone and little brain. In politics, they never "make a king." All of them want the crown at once. In business, such leaders are, "Hooker's Bucket of Crabs." In schools and churches they are long on prominence and short on production. Look for their fruits! If they have achieved, who could lie about them—preaching "wet or dry" and teaching the world, flat or round. Their propaganda is dust-raising, fog-raising, log-betting, buildozing, bewildering, yow yowing, full of phrase-spasms, white worship and black cowardice. worried. "Let him pass," breathed Portia, "God him-him for a man." Mr. Smith can win by getting around the "old gang." They are not Buckeyes! They are barnacles, gummed to the bottom of the "Ship of State." If their boat lands, they come up for "plee." Happily, there are elements that will see the point, possessing the spirit of Columbus, seeking a new route to India and vote for Smith for governor of Ohio. A vote for Editor Smith is the only sure vote for an anti. If elected, he will be impartially governor of all the people. No other candidate can say this truthfully. The night of wrong is ended. And the day of hope is here: I am the Captain of My Soul! The day of equal justice And of Freedom draweth near. We have suffered long and waited. We have fought the powers of just, We have followed Truth and Honor In the battle for the Just. So we pledge our hearts to progress— To Harry C. Smith for governor— And in God we place our trust, for— I am the Captain of my soul! (Major) Allen S. Peal. (Formerly of Columbus, O.)

A GAZETTE "ALUMNUS" Gives "The Old Reliable" Credit For Some of the Exceptional-Success He Has Had and is Still Having. Orangeburg, S. C., July 28, 1924 Hon, Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I can never forget the many years of training, received in connection with The Gazette, both as agent in Oberlin and as clerk in the office at Cleveland. The newspaper experience gained thereby has been one of the greatest assistance of my career. It taught me elements of perseverance, sacrifice, patience, application, knowledge of human nature, and above all a willingness to work and be of use to fellow men. President Robert S. Wilkinson I look upon The Gazette, today, as a mutual owner and I long to spend a part of some vacation period assisting you in the great work still being carried on. I trust some day this may be realized. My work here is progressing nicely. I seem to be enjoying the confidence of the people of both races of my state; hence I am trying to push ahead with the same energy and vision that have characterized all alumni of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Very sincerely yours, (Prof.) R. S. Wilkinson, President, State College, Orangeburg, S. C. FRESH OHIO NEWS --- KENT. — On Saturday of this week our people in this vicinity start a three-day emancipation celebration which will culminate on Monday at a beautiful park near here. This is to be the big event of the three-day affair and the editor of The Gazette, our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, is to be the speaker of the day. Hundreds are expected from nearby cities and towns if the weather is favorable. ELYRIA. — The Lorain County League of Women Voters, which includes many of the first white and colored women of this city, Oberlin, Lorain and the rest of the county, is to have a meeting here, Aug. 8, for all of the candidates for governor of Ohio and our candidate, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, has been sent a special invitation because on both occasions, two and four years ago, when he spoke here at similar meetings he greatly pleased all who heard him. LORAIN.—On Erie beach, two miles west of this recently tornado swept city, next Monday, there is to be an emancipation celebration, the feature of which is to be the presence of our candidate, for lieutenant-governor, George W. Shanklin of Springfield. A clam bake and barbecue, games with prizes, music, etc. will also be enjoyed. Robert W. Pulley and Oliver Copes are in charge of the arrangements for this affair. HILLSBORO.—Charles Minor and Thos. Pier鸿 spent Sunday in Maysville, Ky.—Mrs. Chloe Smith and AN APPEAL! Prof. Neval H. Thomas Backs it Up With a Contribution of Five Dollars—Calls on All To Help!!! Dunbar High School, Washington. D. C., July 26th, 1924. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Guzette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Harry:—Enclosed, please find cheque for five dollars toward financing our common struggle for the governorship of the great state of Ohio. It is my hope that ten thousand Negroes throughout the nation will send in contributions of one dollar each, for the issue is not state, nor sectional, but national. I am glad you have decided to make the race again. The more than 61,000 votes you polled in the race for secretary of state, and the splendid campaign of two years ago when you had the white people of the country deeply concerned at the significance support your fellow citizens gave you for the governorship, command you to take the leadership again. Its tremendous benefits are twofold. It helps to educate the slave spirit out of Negroes, many of whom think that only white people are fit for the high functions of government, and it will start many whites to thinking that, after all, Nordic supremacy is the God-ordained order of things is as foolish as it is wicked. We shall have no democracy in America until these 110,000,000 people think it is as fit for a black man or a black woman to hold any office from the presidency of the United States down to the humbleest office in our tiniest hamlet as it is for the best Anglo-Saxon that breathes. Any other thought of government makes democracy but hypocrisy and sham. Your career as a statesman, securing both a civil rights law and an anti-lynching law for Ohio, places all the people of that state under eternal obligations to you, for white as well as black are the beneficiaries of humane laws. Your long, consistent fight as editor and reformer, never yielding one lot or title to the enemy within and without the race on this overshadowing issue of human rights makes as all your debtors. May the colored people rise to their supreme opportunity and send you to the governor's chair. With the governor and senator of Indiana the candidates of the infamous Ku- Klan, we can readily see the import- ance of playing men and women of our own blood and tradition in place of power. Yours for success. Naval H. Thompson. (From Springfield, O.)

(Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whifes and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL, of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invigilations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of department, building the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I harried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the post- DO NOT VOTE FOR GEIGER! Enthusiastic For Our Candidates For Governor and Lieutenant Governor—Henry Lincoln Johnson to Speak—Local Candidates. (Special to The Gazette.) Springfield, O.-With the approach of the primary election, Aug. 12, comes an increase in the activity of the candidates for the various offices. Posters and pictures of aspirants are appearing in windows of their respective supporters. Among them are those of the Hon. Harry C. Smith and Geo. W. Shanklin, our candidates for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, respectively. Judging from the number of their pictures, appearing in different parts of the city and among our citizens of various walks of life, there is a widespread interest in the candidacies of those two gentlemen who have had the courage to give our people of Ohio an opportunity to express their confidence in the ability of our people to participate in government. There is also a feeling of resentment at the pussyfooting attitude of the Republican organization and the white candidates, in regard to the Ku Klux Klan, which will react in favor of our candidates. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., is billed to speak at the Home Coming Celebration, given by our Men's Business Association, Aug. 6, when campaign issues will prob- seriously ill.—Dr. Wm. Perkins, of Williamson, W. Va., is the guest of Miss Loise Ballard.—Mrs. Kenneth Williams of Columbus is visiting her father, W. L. Johnson.—Simpson M.

These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends many and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustices done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. Next week, the government printing office segregation, etc., will be exposed. Neval H. Thomas. ably be discussed and interest in the campaign and candidates stimulated. C. M. Patterson for county commissioner and Ulysses G. Meaux for sheriff are both confident of a favorable outcome of their respective contests in each of which there is a large field of candidates. Circulars were received by the party workers, last week, in which former Common Pleas Judge Frank W. Geiger set forth his claim for the nomination for Judge of the State Supreme Court, but up to the present there has been no sign of a hearty response to that appeal. At least there is no heralding of his virtues from the house tops as has been the custom in the past by "the Colored brethren who have trotted at the tail of his charlot." Nevertheless there is an ominous silence on the part of those who have been expected to noise abroad the judge's record in the recent Fulton "jim-crow" school case which was allowed to drag along in his court from September until the succeeding February when a permanent injunction was issued by his successor, Judge Frank M. Krapp, thus restating the law that separate schools for our people are illegal in the state of Ohio. This delay worked to the advantage of Supt. Geo. McCord and those trying to put over the "jim-crow" school, the story of the race in all Ohio can vote again in the columns of The Gazette. No self and race-respecting member of the race can vote for Judge Gelor Judge Gelor. Pass the word along. family here, recently.—Mr. and Mrs. Night.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1924 Battling Siki is now in Jack Johnson's class, in at least one respect. Ohio Afro-Americans surely have not forgotten how Harry L. Davis, when governor of Ohio, fooled them. They were promised and expected much from him in the way of appointments but were most previously disappointed. One South Dakota farmer expresses the opinion that the great trouble with the farmer has been "too much debt" and he cites his own case as an instance. There can be no debt without a credit. If there has been too much debt, there must also have been too much credit. We do not assert that this farmer has hit the nail on the head, but pass his remark on for what it may be worth. It is worth thinking about. DO NOT VOTE FOR GEIGER! No loyal Afro-American voter of this state can vote for Judge F. W. Geiger of Springfield, a candidate for a Republican nomination for associate justice of the state supreme court, and retain his self and race respect. Read our Springfield letter, elsewhere in this paper. That kind of a man, a member of that August body, would be a constant menace to our citizen rights and privileges. It is currently reported that the ku klux klan of the state are backing him for the nomination in return for what he did for the Springfield kluxers during the Fulton "jim crow" school fight there, year before last. Pass the word along to ALL of our people throughout the state. WAS ADAM A DEMOCRAT? Male Democrats are searching for an alibi for the disgraceful scenes in the Democratic convention, so they are charging them to the women delegates. Chivalry, which has been the boasted attribute of southern gentlemen for so long, appears to have fled, and the female associates of these same gentlemen are now made the goats for whatever objectable may transpire at their meetings. This is the first time that women delegates have ever appeared at a Democratic convention, which doubtless explains why the charge for party shortcomings has not been laid against them in the past. INTERNATIONAL INTEREST. Additional points of value of the trans-continental air mail service are making themselves manifest. It now appears that mails for the Orient and vice versa are expedited by from two days to two weeks by the air mail. Inquiries are being received from England as to the flying schedules, and much mail matter that was formerly routed via the Suez Canal is now being sent across the Atlantic and despatched by plane to San Francisco in time to catch a trans-Pacific steamer. As the air mail becomes a fixture in our postal service and its economies become better known it is sure to expand its field of usefulness. BILL BRYAN'S BUNK Before Mr. Davis was nominated, Mr. William J. Bryan made an address to the Democratic convention in which he placed Mr. Davis on his list of ineligibles, and viciously denounced Mr. Davis' business associations. With the nomination of Mr. Davis Col. Bryan experienced a marvelous change of heart, and in an interview with a Washington newspaper woman, a few days after the convention Mr. Bryan said: "When presumption raised by his (Mr. Davis) professional connections is of same kind as the presumption by circumstantial evidence and all the circumstantial evi- decease that can be brought before a jury can be overcome by one fact. For instance, all the circumstantial evidence brought against a man accused of murder can be answered by the fact that he was not present at the time of the murder." Well, they might had that he was an accessory either before or after the fact, and the accusations which Col. Bryan and his followers have lodged against the "professional connections" of Mr. Davis transcend murder. Moreover, Bryan used the expression "conclusive presumption" in trying to rule out Davis. PRIME SPORT NEWS The Browns Won One, Anyhow. The Kansas City Monarchs won, last Saturday, 15 to 5; the second game, Sunday afternoon, 5 to 3, and Monday, 10 to 4. The Browns won the first game, Sunday, 7 to 3. The Monarchs are leading our National team in the "some" team. So the Browns' defense is strong, and should not be taken too much to heart by the fans. Our local team is young, less than a season old, and is in the making. The Monarchs is an old, seasoned club. The attendance, at Hooper field, Sunday, was very good, nearly all the seating space being occupied. There was space being occupied. There was fans who, even though weanked fans who, even though weanked for the visiting club. Be loyal, follows, to your home team. The Browns lost Tuesday's game, too. Wills-Eirno! New York City Tex Rickard has announced that he has been selected as the date of the Harry Wills-Luis Firpo match which will be held at Boyles' Thirty Acres, Jersey City. This date was agreed upon when it was found that it would not be with the international polo contexts which will be held on Long Island early in September. Rickard asked the polo association to invite the Prince of Wales, who will be in this country for the polo matches, to attend the heavyweights fight. Tickets will sell for prices ranging from $2 to $25 for ringside seats, plus war tax. Firpo has decided upon Saratoga as a training ground, and will remain there until the day before the fight. Wills is already established in his training camp at Southampton, Long Island. Siki Weds White Artist **Ski Wed White Artist.** New York City—Battling Siki Senegalese, the municipal married last week, in the municipal building to Lillian Werner (white), of this city. The boxer's real name, Louis Fall, was signed to the marriage license. He gave hfs age as 23 and his birthplace as St. Louis, Senegal, Africa. The bride, who gave her age as 30, described herself as an artist. Siki also described himself as an artist. The marriage was performed by Deputy City Clerk McCormick. According to reports from Paris, Siki not only has a wife there, but also a child. The marriage child as well. He formerly contributed to her support, Paris reports said. Siki, however, contends he was a single man until last week's marriage. He spent his honeymoon in a gymnasium, practicing up for a bout, July 25.

A quarrel over a seat in the Erie theater, $3106 Woodland Ave., last Saturday night, ended in the fatal stabbing of Harry King, 16, of 2102 Woodland Ave. King was disputing with a youth of 17, according to police. The two decided to settle the matter behind the theater. Passersby found King with his abdomen slashed open. He died on the way to Charity Hospital. His accident last Saturday and Sunday midnights, there was so much shooting in ward 11 it recalled the old-time fourth of July demonstrations. The police of the Third Precinct were kept very busy. 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 we will attain our rightful place as American citizens.—Philadelphia Tribune. Sunday morning at Mt. Zion Cong. temple, after the pastor had spoken briefly on "Church Architecture," Carl Diton and Miss Viola Hill. Philadelphia artists, were presented in an organ and vocal recital, and Miss Georgia Fields, Cleveland's talented mezzo-soprano choir soloist, rendered the religious classic, "How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings." A very interesting piece, a very entertaining, the attendance being 130 and the collection $6.64. At 6 p.m., the young people met and the Men's club was favored with selections by Nathaniel Dett, violin soloist, who also addressed the Christian Endeavor on "The Youth Movement." Among the visitors, Sunday, were Mrs. Gerture Crews of Columbus Mrs. Mary Lee of Tuskegee Institute and Prof. Geo. Townes of Atlanta University. Mr. Townes will be centered at the national convention of national workers among our people, at Chattanooga, Aug. 26-31 by the pastor. H. S. Chancey, H. O. Storey and W. T. Caldwell.

Miss Anderson was a solist for the Philadelphia Thallarmonic orchestra, this season, and has sung for records. R Nathaniel Dett, director of music at Hampton (Va.) institute, was elected president to succeed Clarence Cameron White of Oberlin. The next convention will be held in Indianapolis, the last week in July, 1925. Other officers elected were J. W. Jones of Chicago, vice president; Alice C. Simmons of Tuskegee institute, secretary and treasurer; the president of which knew musicians and composers were present for Friday's session, including Dr. George W. Andrews and Prof. Edward Dickinson of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and J. Gerald Tyler, composer, of St. Louis. In the evening the convention held a festival program at Mt.

SMITH and SHANKLIN One in Northern Ohio; the Other in Southern Ohio- Their Platform-A Clarion Call to Our Voters to Organize Smith and Shanklin Clubs TO THE LOYAL! 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 MUST 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 allow all to all talk 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 we have to do is, to get our men and women to REGISTER and vote for the primaries, August 12th of this year. Please have the club members write their friends and acquaintances in other Ohio' cities and towns, relative to the organization of clubs, 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 a member of the 71st, 72d, and 74th General Assemblies 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.) Citizen Among the planks in Mr. Smith's platform are: 1. Taxation. (a) Equalize the duplicate by mandatory re-appraisement every four years. (b) Enforce the uniform rule of 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 Lietenant-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焊lings (W. M. N.'s). They are few in number at best and but stumbling blocks in the path of racial prog- taxation at true value in money by placing the power and responsibility upon the State Tax Commission to direct and supervise a genuine appraisement of real estate and personal property. (c) Assist the county treasurers in the collection of the many millions of delinquent taxes on some of their books. (d) A "a pay as you go" basis for cities and counties. 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 are debited to the life of the improvement and no refunding of the debt beyond maturity. 2. Equal rights for women in appointment to executive and administrative State offices, particularly for State welfare work. Minimum wage for women workers. 3. Promote and protect the public school system, granting equal rights to all of school age, including crippled children and insuring the welfare of the faithful teachers. 4. More game, more fish, reforestation, conservation. 5. Highways. (a) Eliminate local assessments on land used exclusively for farm purposes. (b) Enact gasoline tax laws to provide funds for highway purposes. Reduce the license fees to a minimum. A citizen of Ohio traveling in gas- tax states, by which we are surrounded, helps pay for the construction and maintenance of their M. A. B. George W. Shanklin. roads while thousand, from neighboring states drive through Ohio, wear out the roads at our expense and contribute not a nickel to road repair or maintenance. 6. Strictest economy in the conduct of the various departments of the state government. (a) Elimination of unnecessary positions and expenditures. (b) Closer supervision of the latter by the state's Chief Executive. 7. The enactment of a law, on the lines of the new Louisiana law, providing severe penalties for all organizations that wear masks and robes in public. 8. Law enforcement. Signed, Harry C. Smith. Candidate for the Republican Nomination for Governor. Endorsed, Geo. W. Shanklin. Candidate for the Republican Nomination for Lieutenant-Governor. ress. 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 of the eight in the contest for the Republican nomination for Governor. Who said it could not be done? The W. M. N., "political bootlickers." THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the conscious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the aplause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. AUGUST 2. 1924 MUCH PROPERTY AS TAX EXEMPT One Sixth Of National Wealth Avoids Payment. MAKES TAXES HIGH. Property worth $55,000,000,000 is Relieved from Governmental Charges—Report says that General Property Tax Has Suffered Breakdown. NEW YORK CITY, July—One-sixth of the national wealth is exempt from taxation, according to a statement yesterday by the National Industrial Conference Board of 247 Park Avenue. The figure given by the board was $55,000,000,000. “This stundentous sum,” says the board, “represents more than one-sixth of our national wealth on the basis of revised figures of wealth, and is equal roughly to one-third of all property assessed under the general property tax which forms the basis of State and local Government finances. In listing the various kinds of property which are quarantined against the tax collector, the board finds that not only are the churches, schools and various other public welfare organizations exempt, but also such bodies as temperance societies, cemeteries, observance societies, literary organization and a further wide variety of classifications. "How much of the taxable capacity of the country," the board asks, "by virtue of legal exemption bears no burden at all, or less than its share?" In getting an answer to this question, he must make a special survey in all the States and the District of Columbia. In reaching the total of exempt property as $55,000,000,000, account was taken of real property owned by Federal, State and local government, charitable, educational and similar institutions, various scientific and temperance societies, libraries, building and loan associations, cemeteries, observatories, property of clergymen, widows, orphans, etc. Various St. Louis differ in their degree, and the board made its calculations on the basis of these differences. The assessed value of all property subject to taxation under the general property tax in 1921 was $128,667,000,000, and the true value, not represent the total wealth, inasmuch as personal property largely escapes taxation. The study cites the value of all exempt real property in 1922 as $20,506,000,000, compared with 12 1-3 billion in 1912, an increase of 66.5 percent in the federal budget, likely the major portion of this increase in value of exempt property is due to additions of new property entitled to exemption rather than enhanced valuation of property already enjoying this privilege "Students of fiscal science," says the Industrial Conference Board "are fully familiar with the fact that the general property tax has suffered a complete breakdown. New York, the richest Commonwealth in the Union, may be studied with profit. The ratio of the value of personal property to total property has steadily declined from 25.6 in 1866 to 1.6 in 1921." "If to the exempt real property," says the report, "is added the vast amount of personal property represented in the security and endowments in Government bonds, vis., $1,000,000,000 in foundations, $1,500,000,000 in college, hospital, charitable and church endowment securities, $1,000,000,000 in government, $1,000,000,000 is arrived at, the principal and income of which is beyond the reach of the tax collector of State and local Govern- Coal Oil Has No Effect Upon the Spores of the Parasite. Diseased material should be removed from the houses immediately and treated with disinfectant, preferably a solution of 1 gallon of formalin to about 45 gallons of water. This disinfectant should be used to spray all places where diseased material has been. Tools and conveyances should also be treated. Although the disease is highly infectious, it is only recently that growers have appreciated that it has been responsible for such extensive losses. The successful cultivation of mushrooms needs such knowledge and special conditions that losses have often been attributed to other factors besides the disease. An unsuitable degree of humidity, imperfect ventilation, improper preparation of the bed, and the presence of insects may ruin a mushroom crop, but such unfavorable conditions have often been blamed when it was the fungus disease that caused the greatest loss.

In Mountain Strangers Warned Not To Enter Alone. COLORADO—The entrance to Shoshone Cavern, one of the thirty national monuments, is high up near the summit of Cedar Mountain, overlooking the Shoshone River and the Cody entrance road to Yellowstone National Park. It is sort of cave opening that one reads about, and books being located amid rugged cliffs, with pine trees scattered here and there among the rocks. The entrance is about 20 feet wide and 6 feet high. The main cavern follows a fairly straight course, as if in a large fault in the rock, and extends into the mountain about 2500 feet. There are a few slide passages, but all are hollowed to be short, although they have not yet been fully explored. Entering the cavern, one soon comes to two descending ladders, then after following the descending floor of the cave, two more ladders, and finally a fiftieth. At the foot of the cave, pass the passway, ward the slope of the mountain, but still continues to descend. The air is good throughout. The walls of the cavern are well covered by incrustations of crystals and dripping formations, mostly of the bryophyllum reddish. Some of the crystals are sharp, pointed, others resemble rock candy. The cavern is lacking in large stalactites and stalagmites. The rooms are not of great size, the largest being perhaps forty feet wide, with a ceiling eight feet high. The opening runs up to fifty feet, with the walls only a few feet apart. Strangers are warned not to go into the cavern alone, and are advised to carry more than one light. Competent guides may be secured at Cody, Wyo., the cavern being some four miles from Cody on the south side of the Shoshone River, on the opposite side of the river entrance to Yellowstone Park. An auto road covers about three miles, and then one proceeds on foot for a half mile along a level trail on the rim of the river canyon, until a switchback trail is reached leading up the mountain. The trail traverses a picturesque canyon, narrow and wooded, and ends at the foot of two ladders which reach the entrance of the cave. The length of the switchback trail is about a mile and the entrance is about 1000 feet. A visit to the cave may be made in from four to six hours from Cody. New Kind of Electric Meter A Geneva, Switzerland, instrument concern has developed a quadruple tariff electricity meter, which enables power producers to sell electric current at different prices according to the hours of the day and also according to the amount, which, at certain periods, may absorb the total capacity of the generating plant. This multiple tariff carries two totalizers, one indicating the current consumed in kilowatt hours and the other registering automatically in francs or in other currency the value corresponding to the amount of consumption according to four different currencies. The advantages of the meter are twofold, permitting the application of four rates which can be selected and adapted to varying local conditions, and also lessening the amount of bookkeeping work for the power company.

The Government has been giving extensive incentives to the growing of cotton, particularly in the territory of the Chaco. Our advertisers want your trade.

IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination and are wining over special rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nausea and have no 'grits.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

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 charges from the county in which the assault is made (93 v. 1621 4). Section 6281. A person taken and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in persecution by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5). Section 6282.

If any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share allike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or child, the child shall be distributed, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kn 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 as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching. in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for 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 person involved in 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.) 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: RS. ed. r. representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. just member of mob. just another county. Section 6228. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed 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 is contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6229. 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 *Civil Rights law* which the editor and enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Where being the proprietor or his employee paper or manager of an inn, restaurant or 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 fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12940. Where depositing the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. --- This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured 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 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. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a coverate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter, last containing the opinion of the Court. Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. was 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 editorially, THE LAW OF OHIO. NO RE-PROACH, nor our court, and just in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS But Give Copy of It.
