FRESH OHIO NEWS Washington, D. C., Aug. 12, '24 Mr. Robert P. Scripps, New York City Dear Mr. Scripps: Your letter of August 1st received. You ask where I stand on the Ku Klux Klan. Similar inquiries have come to me from others. I take the liberty of making public my answer to you. This will inform all interested in knowing my attitude on this question. I have met it, in various forms, during my public life. Anyone familiar with my record, especially in my own state, knows that I have always stood, without reservation, against any discrimination between races, and against the police. My citizenry is entitled to the full exercise of his constitutional rights. Therefore, I am unalterably opposed to the evident purposes of the secret organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, as disclosed by its public acts. It cannot long survive! Relying upon the sound judgment and good sense of our people, it is my opinion that such a movement is foredoomed. It has within its own body the seeds of its death. Abraham Lincoln, nearly seventy years ago, set forth his views on this question in a letter to his friend, Mr. Joshua F. Speed, dated Springfield, Ill., Aug. 14, 1855: "You inquire where now stand. That did not point to me. I think I am a Whig; but others say there are no Whigs, and that I am Anbolitionist. "I am not a Know-Nothing; that is certain. How could I be?

The family have the sympathy of all.—Fourth quarter meeting at St James church, November of Bellontaine is the guest of Mrs. Charles Christian.—W. L. Johnson and Charles Christian are attending the masonic grand lodge in Cleveland. EAST YOUNGSTOWN. A large crowd attended the picnic and celebration at Campbell park in Struthers, near here, Monday afternoon, particularly to see and hear the Hon. Harry C. Smith, our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor at the primaries, Tuesday. His eloquent speech delighted all and he and his colleague, Mr. George W. Shanklin of Springfield, our candidate for the primaries, loudly cheered, and loyally supported at the primary. We are proud of their showing, for it is a good one all things considered. Better luck next time, gentlemen. In the evening, Mr. Smith spoke at one of our local churches and it was crowded to the doors with many of the best of both races. Several of the speakers were of the other race, and like ours, warmly praised both Mr. Smith's singularly able address and the fight he was making FOR THE RIGHT KIND. The hope of the race, for any kind of a future of consequence, rests in them. At the close of the speaking a banquet, in honor of Editor Smith, was given in the basement of the church to which all of can any one who abhors the oppression of Negroes be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it 'all men are created equal except Negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal except Negroes and foreigners and d Catholics.' When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty—to Russia, or living in a desertism can be taken pure, and without the base alley of hypocrisy, * * * * "Your friend forever, "A. LINCOLN." With this statement from Abraham Lincoln I would join also a passage from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to Edward Dowse in 1803: "I never will, by word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance, or admit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others." Upon these statements of Jefferson and Lincoln, expressing the sentiments, which I am happy to believe the vast majority of our citizens cherish and to which they will ever rigidly adhere, and upon my own views expressed in this letter, I am content to be heard without qualification or evasion. Sincerely yours. (Signed) ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTE. the large audience of both races repaired and we sure had a good time. Mr. Joseph Pico, one of our local business men, an Italian-American, used his new $4,000 Packard car to drive Mr. Smith from the depot to Campbell park, to the church, and from there to the train after midnight, as well as showing him other fine courtesies, his brother and other friends assisting.

Of America's Second Largest City— One of the Race's Brightest Women—Progressive! Chicago, Ill. — Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams. 4203 St. Lawrence Ave., was notified, recently, of her appointment to the library board of Chicago by Mayor Dever. Mrs. Williams is the first woman ever to serve on this board and the first member of our race to receive such Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams an appointment anywhere. The Chicago public library system is one of the finest in the country and is under the direct supervision of the board, which represents the city government. The credit for Mrs. Williams' appointment goes chiefly to Maj. "Bob" Jackson, a member of the city council. She was born in Brockport, N. Y., came to Chicago more than a decade ago and almost immediately rose into prominence through her lectures and writings. During the World's Columbian exhibition in this city, she was asked to address the Woman's congress and delivered an interesting talk on the "Intellectual Progress of the Colored Woman." She is our only member of the Woman's City club. Her husband was Atty. S. Laing Williams, for several years assistant U. S. district attorney for northern Illinois and also at one time examiner of pensions, and inheritance tax apraisal. He died several years ago Additional Locals The fifth and last day of the convention of the Ancint United Knights and Daughters of Africa was celebrated, last Friday, by a street parade of the 3,000 delegates, augmented by local members of the race. At night delegates and friends met at Public hall to witness the band and drill contests, which were followed by a dance, and were very entertaining. Last week Thursday, delegates elected these officers: Wm. H. Fields, St. Louis, grand master; followed by a dance, and grand master; George Cathrell, St. Louis, sec.-treas.; Josie Henly, St. Louis, inspector of finance; Ella L. Holmes Swanagan, Chicago, grand queen; Rev. T. L. Scott, Chicago, chaplain; E. L. Westbrook, East St. Louis, grand guard; Virginia Allen, Ohio, maid of honor. State grand queens are: Julia Cordell and Mamie Gaines, Missouri; Elliza Jackson and Henrietta Dean, Illinois; Elizabeth Kimbrough and Maria Gilliam a. New York; Ada Goines, Indiana and Cora Ollie. The third of the parade which was at noon, was from the very miserable camping grounds, Kingsbury park, through E. 40th street to Scovill Ave. to E. 55th st. to Central Ave. to E. 28th St. to Scovill to E. 40th, back to the camp. Chef Will N. Alexander tells a pitiful story of his mistreatment, last May, by former Gov. and Mrs. Harry L. Davis for whom he was working at their farm in Solon. Will says she "fired" him for being absent to attend his cousin, Dennis Fowler's funeral, in spite of the fact that Mr. Davis drove him to the car when he left to go to the funeral. She said that day was the day-off of his tenure in the New York Alexandria also says that the former Governor refused to pay him his claim for wages, etc., after he was "fired," and that he was finally given $50 in settlement of his claim of $100. He also says that when he was chef for the Davises in Columbus, Tom Fleming and John Logan of Columbus came to him and asked him to arrange it so they could get a hearing from the Governor (Davis), having been unable to do so themselves after repeated efforts, and that he Johnson-Jackson Fight Vecto Indianapolis, Ind.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, will not fight "Tut" Jackson of Washington C. H. O., in East Chicago, this week Friday, says Gov. Branch of Indiana, "Not because of color," he says, "but for reasons the public will well understand." The governor said he stands Johnson is advertised as a headliner and that if he wins this fight he is to meet Wills or Firpo. "It is because of Johnson's checkered career that I do not believe this fight advisable," the governor said. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Segregation In The U. S. Bureau Of Engraving And Printing Mrs. Robert M. La Follette Traveled to Boston and New York City and Spoke and Worked in Washington, Also, Against the Miserably Insulting and Humiliating Practice (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.-Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the House, a member of his family visited where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our oak a building added to the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished (Alexander) gave the Governor Tom's letter at breakfast. one morning, and succeeded in getting an appointment for Tom and John at 3 p. m., that same day. Also, that after he was "fired" he went to Tom but got no consolation or assistance (as usual). Chef Alexander called on The Gazette, Monday, and said he was going to the E. 38th St. political meeting, that evening, for the express purpose of airing his grievance, if former Gov. Davis attended it, providing of course, he was permitted to do so. Our Most Beautiful Church New York City—Little Mt. Zion Baptist church. W. 140th St. is erecting by far the most beautiful church building for our people ever in Greater New York. Little Mt. Zion's architect is a member of the race, Wm. H. Dammond, C. E. An expert of the engineering office of New York City's Building Department, in the presence of the architect, spontaneously and warmly complimented Mr. Dammond for performing the engineering designing for the beautiful building. Indeed, he has been complimented four times by engineering experts of the same department, once in Brooklyn and three times in Manhattan. For many years, prior to the World War, Mr. Dammond was calculating and drawing for railroad bridges, steel and concrete buildings for four countries and six American states, for persons without our race. Greb-Flowers Bout Postponed Fremont, O. — Official announcement of the postponement of the Harry Greb-Tiger Flowers boxing contest from August 14 to Aug. 21 has been made by Ray Bronson, promoter. It followed a telephone conversation with James Mason, manager of Greb, who asked for more time to get his man in condition to fight. Walter Miller Flowers manager, accepted the later date when notified by Bronson of Greb's desire. Manager Mason saw Flowers in action and that settled it. Greb must "condition" for the "Tiger."

Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best homes, most of them with high and normal school reading and finance. That while girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, the only human institution, the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. Next week, I shall attempt to describe the universal restrictions placed around our population in our government reservations here at the seat of government. Nehul. Thomas H. "WHITE" RACE THREATENED! British Scientist Sees Its Power Is Bound to Be Limited Both In This Country and Abroad New York City—Speaking before the British and the American Association for the Advancement Science in Toronto, Canada, Aug. 7, 24. Dr. J. W. Gregory, president of the British association, forecasts loss of political power by the white race owing to increase in population of the colored races of the world. Dr. Gregory is quoted by the New York Times as saying that the white race has attempted to rule and administer too much of the world's territory, one-third of the world's population (the whites) ruling eight-ninths of the habitable land of the globe. "During the last century," Dr. Gregory is quoted as saying, "and especially since the development of railway and steam navigation after 1840, the whole of America, all Africa, except Abysinia and Liberia, all Australia and all Asia, with the exception of China, Japan and Siam, have fallen under the control of European people." During the past half century the unprecedented increase in the white race has been exceeded by that of the colored people. Increased disparity in numbers means, in a democratic age, an inevitable transfer of power, while the former prestige of the white man has been undermined by his own beneficent rule. Alike in war and peace, the personal authority which the white man held in 1900 has undergone a momentous decline." For the United States Dr. Gregory predicted, in a space of perhaps 100 years, the increased migration of southern Europeans into the southern states and the intermarriage of these people with Afro-Americans, would make it impossible for the South to continue to refuse political rights to our people. One "possibility" suggested by Dr. Gregory was the eventual formation of an Afro-American free state, in the southwestern part of this country.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924. "The Birth (Rape) of a Nation," the vicious photoplay, has been officially barred from Montclair, N. J. The good work goes steadily on, thank the Lord. --- "From one who aspires to the presidency, however, a declaration even more direct than this may rightfully be expected. I wish, therefore, to denounce bigotry, intolerance and race prejudice as to the spirit of America."—Hon. John W. Davis, Democratic candidate for President. --- The Ku Kluxers succeeded in nominating Judge Frank W. Golger of Springfield as a Republican candidate for judge of the state supreme court. It is now up to our people to help to defeat him at the election in November. This is the man that favored the Springfield kluxers in the Fulton "jim crow" school fight of that city, year before last. He was a common pleas judge at the time. Our people outloud Ohio should know this and act accordingly. Pass the word along. UP TO COOLIDGE NOW The Democratic candidate for the presidency, the Hon. John W. Davis, denies that he was ever a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and says, "I never was and never shall be a member. It is now "up to" President Coolidge, since both of the other candidates have spoken clearly and most pertinently. Surely our President is not afraid to speak out, is not a member of the klan, and wants the people to understand where he stands on that important question as well as segregation in the governmental departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the service! There are thousands upon thousands of our votes he will NOT get unless he does do so, and speaks right, too, on these important issues. OUR TWO STATE CANDIDATES. As we go to press it is only possible to get an idea of the result of the fight for the Republican nominations for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor made by our loyal people of Ohio which ended at the primary, Tuesday. The returns are far from being complete. But it is clear that our candidates, while making good runs, are not victors because as yet our people of the state have not learned THE LESSON—to vote in sufficiently large numbers to make them such. Then there were the Republican organizations of five of the largest cities in the state, namely, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus and Dayton, including their Negro political slaves, to contend with. Two years ago, there were only four. This year the number was increased by—Toledo. Add to this the political work and influence of the large and vicious organization known as the Ku Klux Klan and all must admit that Mr. Shanklin and the writer did remarkably well to get as many votes as they did, and we received THOUSANDS—just how many it is impossible to say at this time. The kluxers uncovered exceptional political strength in many parts of the state—in Cleveland, Youngstown, Toledo and elsewhere. Their support, according to the daily press, was divided between a Mr. Selber of Akron and Ex-Gov. Harry L. Davis of Cleveland, the latter getting the Republican nomination for Governor and the former being next highest of the eight candidates. This is the estimate at this writing. Money and other benevolent influences were freely used through the state in the effort to win SOME NEGROES KNOW In every Northern city, political activity is being aroused. Never before have so many people indicated an intention of breaking away from old traditions, from old party alliances. Gradually there is dawning or aborning, the knowledge that politics is a game in which a few control the many. Colored people as a mass (have been the greatest victims. For many many years, through a sense of loyalty and because of ignorance, they have stuck to the Republican party, thereby making an enemy of the Democratic party! The Republican party gave them the shadow of official recognition, created laws appointed to them, made the slightest pretense of enforcing them. They were jolled and used, only that and nothing more! In the South, the Democrats disfranchised them. They could do little voting and less office holding. In consequence, "jim crow" cars and other segregative conditions flourished. In national campaigns, the Republican orators and newspapers called attention to the distranchissement, etc., as evidence of the deadly, damnable and destructive tendencies of southern Democracy, and told in the same way that dangers that would result from the presence in the White House of a Democratic President. But Negroes who can think, Negroes who have moral courage, have learned their lesson and are brave enough to abide by it. Some Negroes know now, that the flood of eloquence that comes with every campaign flows from men who are paid to speak, or else expect to get some benefit. They are doing as much acting in saying what they do as does the man who on the stage "does his stuff" for the money he gets. Some Negroes know now, that the Negroes will print, in proportion to the amount of money they get, awful stories of coming disasters should those terrible Democrats get into power. Many years ago, when the Democrat, Cleveland, ran for President, Negroes were told that if elected slavery would again flourish in the United States. Cleveland was elected, and instead of making Negroes slaves, they were appointed to high office and sent as U. S. representatives to white men's countries. When Wilson, the Democrat, ran for President, the same old song was sung, and Negroes terror stricken, forget the dirty deals of the Republican party and be angry to vote against Wilson. He was elected, but no Negroes were made slaves, and they fared under him as well as they have fared since. Some Negroes have learned that when the Democrats who owe them nothing, make laws against them, the Republicans do nothing except to Afro-American votes from our candidates. And it must not be forgotten for a single moment that "times are hard" and many persons are without work or at best have little to do that is remunerative. However, we are not discouraged and will not be, regardless of the primary results whatever they may be, because we understand Ohio political conditions and know there must come a change for the better sooner than most people think. Furthermore, every year more and more of our people are registering and voting and learning THE LESSON of the absolute necessity of voting largely en masse for our own candidates if we are ever to get anywhere in the political sun. The number that understand this, and preach it, is increasing every year. The outlook is encouraging, and we shall continue the fight with the assistance of the loyal members of the race throut the state of Ohio. ROLAND HAYES CAPTURES BERLIN New York City.—The following newspaper extracts, forwarded from Germany, from accounts in the Berlin newspapers, acclaiming Roland Hayes at his opening recital, in June, in the German capital city, are extremely interesting: The Berliner Magistrat Post said: "Mr. Hayes shamed his managers for without exaggeration one can say, that their sensational claims were not of a sufficiently high order. The method of Mr. Hayes is very unusual. His tenor voice has the sweetness of the great Romantic singers. His special facility for languages is remarkable. His program consisted of Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Wolf, a Japanese song, Massenet and Negro spirituals. This singing is not in every way in power of expression to many European singers, makes his singing quite extraordinary. An artist of his race, Mr. William Lawrance, accompanied him with cultivated touch. The Negro debutante won from an overcrowded hall a most overwhelming success." The Berliner storer Post: "A Negro tenor with a program embracing the loveliest numbers by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Wolf is a new sensation. We had it in Beethoven Hall. In the first song, Schubert's dreamt of die Ruh," said the treatment band and tone betrayed the great singer. All doubt as to whether it were merely technique which made the performance wonderful soon disappeared. He brought to his beautiful singing high intellectual power, an unusual timbre, and a concentration of purpose, preventing any sense of montony. Sigmund Pilsing in Berliner Borsen-Zeitung: "The public had expected a sensation and found an artist. We refer to the Negro tenor, who Hayek called the "German tenor," Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Wolf in almost perfectly pronounced German is a wonder, and even more so when he can enter with THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

Some Negroes have learned, that though under Wilson the segregative system, already existing in Washington, was increased, yet under Harding and Coolidge, our Republican Presidents, it has not been diminished. Negroes have learned that though under southern Democracy Negroes have been disfranchised contrary to the Constitution of the United States, yet the Republican party and its official representatives, despite their oath of office, have never enforced the penalty for such violation and, through peace of our Republican friends, Congress has hooded with Democrats from southern states who have no business there. Some Negroes have learned that recognizing a few Negro delegates from southern states and putting a few on the National Committee means little other than a little dope for campaign material. Some Negroes know the strenuous efforts the thousands of men employed and the billions spent to stop people from consuming alcoholic beverages, that is to enforce the 18th amendment, and they wonder why if the Republican party has the interest of the Colored citizens at heart—why is it that nothing is done to enforce the amendment made for their benefit. All people can be fooled sometime. Some people can be fooled all of the time. But all the people can't be fooled all of the time. The day has arrived when people both white and black are thinking they are going to do some acting. They have learned that both parties, Republican as well as Democratic, playing the great game of politics Negroes have lost many years of valuable time. Had they voted for men instead of party they would have been better off. As slaves of the Republican party they have in all of these years been losing instead of winning. Under Grant they got a magnificent start—but alas today they have been better off. Negroes holding high rank in Army, parting high ranks in Army, parting departments of the Government. Not a single Negro in Congress! And yet they have fought, bled and died for a party that has had everything in its power since the Civil War, except during only two Democratic administrations. It is high time for the Negro to wake and split his vote. He should and must, if he would succeed, divide his vote by casting his ballots for men who will do the square thing regardless of the party he belongs to. A political slave is of no more importance than community than any other kind of slave. The hour has arrived—Negro must divide or be damned—Dabney in Cincinnati (O.) Union. understanding into the German soul. And Hayes does so. To hear him sing Schumann's 'Ich hab' im Traum geweinet' is an example which many good singers might follow—also Schumann's 'Nussbaum' or 'Auch Kleine Dinge' by Wolf. It is quite extraordinary. In one extra number of Galluppi, among many others, he revealed true grasp and understanding of Italian feeling and method." Roland Hayes will return to America early in October and will then make a tour throughout the United States, culminating on the Pacific Coast. New York City — Marcus Garvey was arraigned, Aug. 5, and held in $2,500 bond on a charge of falsely claiming tax returns for 1921 and 1922. CHARACTER. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty-two years The Gazette has been serving the people of this country. It has gathered a reader-clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. DO YOU KNOW WHY --- Spring House Cleaning Was Invented ? PRIME SPORT NEWS Estridge Defeats Gans. New York City—Larry Estridge, Harlem southpaw, who is recognized as the middleweight champion, battered hit by the Rocky Marcian on Monday night, over Pam a Mana a Joe Gans, another Harlemite, who formerly held the title, in the ten- round final. Monday evening. Buffalo, N. Y.—Homer Smith, of Michigan, completely outclassed Battling Siki in a ten-round bout here, Monday night. In the final rounds Smith scored heavily with hard drives to the body and Siki was tired and hanging on at the end. In the ninth round Smith drove Siki to the ropes and floored him with a flurry of drives to the head, but Siki was up immediately. Siki weighed 178 and Smith 189 pounds. Tate Bumps Firno Saratoga Springs, N. Y. — Lui's Firpo, training here for his bout with Harry Wills, is working out with Bill Tate, his new sparring partner. Tate, who has been defeated by Wills, six times, gave the Wild Bull his first bit of hard work. Shadow boxing, rope skipping and a few rounds of sparring were indulged in. Tate boxed two rounds with the Argentinian and shook him a hand and a team with a series of hard lefts. Luis appeared to be annoyed and missed several vicious returns. Firpo is eating as much as ever, but is gradually taking off weight. Siki's Dutch Wife Coming Skii's Dutch wife Coming. New York City. — Louis Phal, known as Battling Skii, the Senegalese ring warrior, is facing more trouble. Mrs. Skii, No.1, and their child, are on their way from Cherbourg, France, to New York to combat the last marital venture of her husband, it is said. She is a Dutch woman, who asserts that she married Skii in Holland. While one of his former managers says that he believes the woman to be the fighter's legal wife, she has not yet shown proof. Luis Loves His "Eats" Luis Loves His "Eats" New York City. — Alarming reports from Saratoga, where Firpo is preparing for his battle with Harry Wills. The "Wild Bull" wants his "requiled and impatient" quantities. He has no idea of the virtues of dieting, and inlines to those rich vandals that titillate the palate and add huge rolls of embonpoint to the middle section. Firpo has not been an easy man to handle, and since the coming encounter on Boyles Thirty Acres promises, from the sale of tickets thus far, to be a clean-up, this time seems as good as any to let Firpo pass out of the picture. Of course, he may club Wills into submission, but what is going to happen to him, if Wills gets to him first with one of those stomach pleur-drivers, is plenty."—"Fair Play" (white).

After being fatally shot, Ben Lucas was thrown from an automobile standing in front of 2312 E. 28th St., Sunday afternoon. This is in Ward 11.

How Our Girls Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government Printing Office—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure the employee may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation does not pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees by the company of young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-entrance clerk. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name! The department then taking up the position that can take up the case. It merely clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. My next letter will deal with the segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing. (Prof.) Neval H. Thomas. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. The police arrested 240 persons during week-end raids. Of this number, 103 were made by police from the Woodland Ave.-E. 37th St. precinct station, Wards 11 and 12. Twenty-four charges were placed for gambling, twenty-seven for immorality, one for keeping a disorderly house, thirty-nine for violation of the liquor law, forty-nine for intoxication, fifteen for violation of the Harrison narcotic act, and twenty-one of suspicion. And our ministers and churches in those words still absolutely REFUSE to ask City Manager Hopkins to give the police protection necessary to stop much of the evil mentioned above and also stop so much shooting, cutting, killing and other crimes in that district. From three to a dozen young girls are ruined in those two wards, every week, too. Their immoral condition is about that of several years ago when the "Star-Tom" regime was "in the saddle." Will anything stir our ministers and churches in that section of the city to action? E. and M. Zion Cong. churches. This includes St. Paul's Zion A. M. The daily newspaper statement, Tuesday morning, that there were "30,000 Negroes" at the Luna park "emancipation celebration," Monday, was far from being the truth. There were less than one-third that number of poor unfortunate "Negroes" there, that evening, and so few during the day that they were not allowed to use the dance-hall (which the whites used during the day) until after 6 p. m., so persons in attendance inform The Gazette. Five thousand would be a generous attendance estimate for the evening. Of course the bathing pool was closed to "Negroes," as usual, and the price of soft drinks, etc., doubled. Worse still, the drinking water was turned off, it is also said, so that the poor misguided "Negroes" there would be compelled to purchase the soft drinks. The result was that women and children, especially, suffered for water to drink. Thos. W. Bird informs The Gazette that he saw little children lapping the little water remaining in the troughs, so thirsty were they, and that he approached Councilman Thos. W. Fleming, chairman of the committee in charge of the affair, demanding that he have the water turned on, and was told by Fleming that he could do nothing. Many of the poor misguided "Negroes" who went to colorline Luna Park, Monday, are attendants upon our various churches, the pastors of which made absolutely no effort whatever to warn them to stay away from it. Shame, O, SHAME! 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 right-to-age section, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. Negroes are not worthy of civil rights they are in a culture without self-respect and have no 'guts'." 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. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924. PROPERTIES LOST Operators Driven out by Revolutionists and Then Threatened with Cancellation of Their Titles —Payment of Taxes causes a Tangle. American mining interests in Mexico are likely to suffer seriously, it is asserted by Paul W. Meyers, mining engineer of Oklahoma City, in the official journal of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. Abuses text and tary should be the object of organized protests by the mining industry, according to Mr. Meyers. "The claims of agrarian and petroleum cases against the Mexican Government, owing to the revolution, seems to have been put in a fair way for proper consideration by the Claims Convention between the United States and Mexico but the mining claims are not represented and it is not unlikely that the American owned mining interests in Mexico will seriously suffer" he says. "The general sentiment among the larger American mining interests in Mexico seemed to favor separate adjustments of their individual difficulties with the Mexican Government, while the smaller mining operators apparently became discouraged by the long-term and bureaucratic situation created by the various acts of the Carranza Government. Many small mining enterprises were utterly ruined by the revolution, their camps sacked and their operating personnel scattered. Following upon this, their titles were clouded or cancelled by the acts of revolutionary officials, and it might be that the larger mining operator despaired of ever being able to restore what he had seemingly lost beyond recall. Americans Hit Hard "The American-owned mining industry of Mexico suffered more proportionately than any other single industry. Operators who were driven out were thereupon threatened with cancellation of their titles by the Carranza Government, in issue, since the effect that titles would be cancelled if operations were not resumed. It is true that the operation decree was suspended, but it remained as a threat over the mining industry. The grave was the question of payment of taxes. Each revolutionary faction threatened to repudiate all payments to its opponents. Payments to local de facto authorities were attended by serious risk of life. Revolutionary paper presently was not admitted longer for taxes; payments in gold coin were especially hazardous. "Carranza, holding the capital and gaining recognition from the United States, demanded payment to his Government at the central office even though he had no effective control of vast regions of the country, which important mining districts were situated. "In this confused situation the small American operator who had been driven from the country found the payment of his taxes a difficult and sometimes an unsolvable problem. Naturally payments on many mining properties fell into the hands of the Carranza Government of allowing speculators to pick out such of the properties as they desired and having titles formally declared forfeited by one of the department of the Government in the capital. During the first lull of revolutionary activity in the responding states, they requested that regulators and risk a quick trip to the local office and file a re-location. "There are other abuses, but this is the most serious, and it has not been made the point of organized protest by the mining industry. From the greatest point of fundamental equity and justice it should have been specifically taken up by the mining fraternity in order to have assured the same special consideration which was given by the American representatives to expropriation of land under the law of elides and the effect of Article 27 of the Constitution of 1913 to subsell minerals including petroleum. Anyway when these drops get large enough they accumulate into vapor, forming clouds. When the droplets get too large and heavy to float in the air they fall to the earth in form of rain, and this is about all we actually know about clouds.

CHECK CROWN GAMBLING SOON SEES STABILIZATION In One Month The Value Of The Dollar Has Fallen From over 100,000 to 8,000 Paper Crowns.—Money Hoarders In Hungary Are Digging Into Their Sockings. BUDAPEST, July,—Sir William Goode, unofficial adviser of the Hungarian Government, who was largely instrumental in placing the international loan for Hungary, said his reference to the sudden changes in the Hungarian financial situation of the last few days. "For two years nomadic money buzards have been fattening on the falling exchange of Hungary. Today these bootleggers are in full flight. Their disappearance from the hotels and cafes of Budapest spells with more certainty than any expert foreseeable reconstruction of Hungarian finance. The cupation has gone while money hoarders are digging into their stockings. Curious old gold and silver coins are being brought into the newly opened national bank where modern foreign currencies also are being delivered by Hungarians at the rate of about five million dollars, pounds, or any relatively stable exchange. Today they are equally anxious to buy the desired crown. No one wants to cash a foreign draft or check. There is no austria a fear that Hungarians will fear that the hoarders and dealers in foreign exchanges can sell out. Money Value Rises "Since the beginning of this month the dollar has fallen from over 100,000 to 8,000 paper crowns. There is no longer bootlegging or an unofficial exchange rate. It has been wiped out with the dealers. Foreign currencies, moreover, would have fallen far more in value if the bank hadn't steamed the rate, pursuant to the lack of not boosting the currency, but collecting reserves. Under the control of Commissioner General Smith and with the foreign loan assured there is relative stability in the currency. Nothing makes the wheel of rational fortune turn quicker." "Opiovic, ex-Minister of Finance and Government, the Bank which has now been open five days said that the activities of the new bank have been overwhelming, and that the demand for Hungarian crowns has been almost too great to cope with. He expressed confidence that the crown would soon be permanently stabilized and its value fixed, but pointed out that the policy was bank to interfere as little as possible and to attempt artifice, tabulation "We may stabilize methods of fluctuations and prevent it from ringing too rapidly, but we cannot fix the figures," he said. "The crown must find its own natural level. All financial changes in the harvest, in a few days, together with a definite prospect of a tendency to drive the crown upward, and the result of the harvest, which will be known in a few days, with the exports of corn, sugar, etc., will have the same effect. Therefore the final level of the crown cannot be fixed or anticipated with any certainty. The Governor pointed out that conditions are analogous to those in Austria in 1922, but that recent events and the Viennese financial crisis had affected the Hungarian crown detrimentally. The good prospects of the harvest, the Governor argued, should have a beneficial effect on reconstruction generally, which could be successfully under the able guardianship of Jeremiah Smith. Another good sign, he said, was the decrease in the prices of living commodities in the last few days. The Brazilian Government has authorized the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works to contract for the construction of the new work, in addition to the free work, in addition to the free port which is to be constructed on the Ila do Governor in the Rio Bay, will consist of an extension of 1,391 meters of the present quay, which will increase the capacity of the port to accommodate more work per cent. The new work is calculated to cost 35,813,000 m³/is. Fewer Unemployed in Italy The total number of unemployed in Italy on April 30 was 177,000, compared with 218,740 on March 31, and with 270,200 on April 31, 1923. The present situation is more favorable than at any time since early in 1921. The United States paid the bank for 178,600 on Aug. 31; in 1922 it was 304,200, on July 31, and in 1921 it was 110,000, on Jan. 31. PYTHONS SOLD BY YARD STICK Six Strong Men Needed To Uncoil Snake FORMS BIG INDUSTRY More than 250 Pythons are sold in New York every Spring, mostly to Traveling Shows—Seven Foot Snakes sells for $20. NEW YORK—There is one market in New York which has a wide range of pet dogs and long shorts than Wall Street itself. It is the python market. You can get pythons, at the right time of year, anywhere from seven feet to twenty-five in length. Usually they are sold as ribbon is sold; the more you want, the more you have to pay. Pythons form an industry, and New York is the centre of it for America. Every year men go from here to Africa, India, Sumatra and South America, and early in the Spring New York has a python population of 250 or so. They are sold mostly to traveling shows, so you go on the road in the Spring. Possibly because the show people always expect bad business in a Presidential year, or perhaps because of the backward weather, perhaps early in the year, the slump. In general, however, the python trade is steady; pythons and boas are one of the world's commodities which have not been greatly affected in price by the war. Quotations and demand are also high; they were ten years ago, or tweaty. A seven-foot python can be had for $20. A length of twenty-five feet—found in the regal pythons from Sumatra—runs the price up to $100. The boas come smaller; sixteen feet is the maximum at an age of eight to ten years, according to snake dealers, and this is also true of rock pythons. In price the boas start where the pythons do and the biggest of them fetches about $300. Cheap \Pet to Feed The upkeep, though, is astonishingly small. The big snakes are as economical a pet as one could have; one of them can sometimes get along on an expenditure not much larger than the seed bill of a husky canary, and while they saunae for thirteen years or so, occasionally they last forty or fifty. "Sometimes they do not eat for two or three years," says Louis Ruhe, who imports 150 a year out of the 250 that are brought into the country. "Then you have to use forcible feeding. Two quarts of milk make a dozen eggs in it, administered through a hose every two or three months, will keep them alive." If the python is cheerful it feeds once a month on live animals. That is the meal schedule in captivity; in the wild it feeds when can, more or less. Wild porcupines and plain pig will often tempt a python, though rabbits and guinea pigs are the most frequent dish. The porcupine's quills have no terrors for the reptile; it knows which end to swallow first so the quills will lie flat. When a boa or python is in captivity, however, it may become disgusted with life and look as if it were too tired to eat. A few months of this and a twenty-five foot snake that normally weighs 200 pounds will drop forty pounds. Then is the time for the eggs and the rubber hose. If a snake hasn't eaten for several months it looks lethargic; one that has fed is not easy to handle it takes six men to measure a big python, according to Mr. Ruhe; to take it out of the box and use the tape and put it back. The snake often shows fight, and its way of fighting is to coil. If it gets a grip on something, then comes a tug of war. Just lugging it out and straightening it and dropping it back in the box is a half-hour's work for six strong men, and it leaves them exhausted. Recovering a Stray Sometimes one of the big fellows gets loose. That happened not long ago. Small boys looking up at a store window saw twenty feet of snake hanging out and looking around. They called a policeman, and the policeman, after some success, succeeded in the store attendants. They all got together at the stern and heaved-huntil the snake was boxed again. It was an arm wrenching job. The men who do the hunting in the wilds take chances, for they go out often hundreds of miles to the forests, with often two or three attendants. Often one or many among natives who will not touch a snake because of tabu. There are narrow escapes, but the tight boxes of pythons keep arriving in New York in time for the circus and the show season and not a snake the box is under seven feet India sends two where Africa sends one. THE CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS could not have been improved without leaving them to the press smoker.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1834 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 MORS. 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. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars.

Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such injury, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6223. 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 lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6225. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6226. 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 6227. 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 of the persons composing such mob. In such cases the court will admit 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: BS. eed. g. representative of victim of lynching.bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. h. just 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 conducted record the amount of the judgment received from the county from which the man engaged on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispense such mob. (69) 163 111. Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (69 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Coge of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public concession, water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, deserves to 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 or more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court 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. 一 Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good and did not need amending. The following letter does not 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. Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Thank you your letter in the Beacon-Journal. This city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion to editorially, THE LAW OF OHIO TO UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our juries, 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.
