It contains a complete set of traps, bass drum and kettle drum, tenor drum chimes, xyl applause, all which are operated from the keys in the orchis. The instrument stands twen
CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies. Unless this latter is done, proper credit cannot be given you. Lists of names, wedding dates, names, objections, queries for relatives and advertisements of all kinds, including items announcing entertainments to be held in the near future, must be paid for in advance at the rate of 25 cents a line, six words to a line. Our rates for display advertisements will be sent on application.

COMMERCIALIZED PRESS!
Editor Harry C. Smith of The Cleveland Gazette agrees with Don C. Seltz, former editor of the latter is right in his charge that it is now a commercialized press in this country. Editor Smith added:
"There are very few papers that are not being published with a view to making money and that above everything else. Even the race press has reached the point where nearly all of them are afraid to tell our stories, but at all times for fear of offending some politician (white or black), some church, lodge or something else. The honest, loyal, untrammeled press, black and white, is gone forever, it seems. What a pity! The masses of people everywhere are the greatest sufferers, as a result of the Cleveland Gazette, with Editor Smith at the helm, is proof that exceptions are to be found to this sweeping indictment. —New York Age.
S'mora Wills-Domnsex Talk
Tampa, Fla., Feb. 3.—Jack Dempsey today reiterated his announcement that he will box Harry Wills, his leading challenger, on Labor day, at Madison Square Garden. He said Floyd Fitzsimmons is arranging the match. The champion arrived here from Havana with his wife and staged an exhibition bout with his sparring partner.

WILBERFORCE—A thirty thousand dollar pipe organ is being assembled in Shorter Hall auditorium. The instrument consists of a main organ, which has six sets of pipes and a solo organ, which has four sets of pipes. It contains a complete set of bass instruments, a drum, a trombone, a minor drum, chimes, xylophone, bellies, etc. all of which are operated from the keys in the orchestra pit. The instrument stands twenty-eight feet high. Another pipe organ has been installed in the music department for the students of the Conservatory, but it has not as many sets of pipes as the one in the auditorium. H. H. Hassett and Capt. Walter H. Thomas of ManSField, members of the state department's board of trustees, were here. Tuesday in attendance upon an important meeting of that body—Bishop J. H. Jones was in Cleveland, Sunday week, at the dedicatory services of the newly accrued St. James M. E. church, in the East End. Dr. Thomas and Jones (white), chairman of the education committee, Phelps-Stokes Fund, was a visitor at Wilberforce University, recently.
ROXABELLL. — Services at the Second Baptist church were conducted, Sunday, by Rev C. S. Richardson, and Rev A. R. Jones, assisted by Rev D. E. Carter. These co-workers have been a great help to the pastor ever since he has been us. Rev J. J. Burr conducted the funeral service Eliza Blanton who died, recently, in Xenia at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Annie Ellis. She was an old resident of Hillsboro. Mr. Johnson of Xenia was the undertaker. There were about thirty here from Xenia. Our pastor being absent, as it was the fifth Sunday, the trustees and the pastor on the day. Collection and attendance fair. The S. S. attendance was large. Kenneth Richardson read an excellent paper. Mother Ash is still ill. Mrs. Clarence Bolds and sister, Dorsay Payne, are still here with their mother. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Lowrey have moved back to their old home after several years" turn near Austin, after several years" absence.
Coolidge's Secretary of State. Washington D. C. One person Rolloff, celebrates, did not call on when here, recently, was Ex. U. S. Senator Frank B. Kellogg, now secretary of state in President Coolidge's cabinet. Two years ago the Hon. Mr. Kellogg was ambassador to English, and was the queen when Hayes sang before the queen by command. At the conclusion of his recital the queen shook hands with Mr. Hayes, and, as is the English custom, every person in the room followed suit except the logg, and Hayes sang became the stocking stock of the Britshers. "Is that the way Americans treat each other?" was their comment.
Obituary.
Johnstown, Pa.—S. B. Handy, one of our best known residents, died suddenly. Jan. 25, after an illness of only three days; pneumonia. Funeral services and interment. Jan. 28. The widow, former Mrs. Georgia Blaine of Cleveland, has the earnest sympathy of the community. Mrs. Mattie E. Carl, former Miss Rawls, also of Cleveland, was very helpful to Mrs. Handy during her recent bereavement.
Alice Replies to Kip.
White Plains, N. Y.—Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander, who defeated the annulment suit of Leonard (Kip) Rhinelander, her husband (white), submitted, Jan. 25, her brief on questions of fact in answer to your request, to oversee Rhinelander's appeal to seeking to oversee the verdict. Alice will not bring suit for separation until Justice Morschhauser has acted on the motion in the annulment action.
Tarred and Feathered.
Jacksonville, Fla. — Mrs. Eleanah Malphus, age 62, was found unconscious near St. Nicholas, covered with tar and feathers. She was taken to S.

"WIND-JAMMERS"
SOUTHERN WHITES!
In the February number of the American Mercury is a review of book, "The New Negro," by H. L. Mencken, in which he inquires pointedly if any group of white southerners can be imagined making such a contribution as the eschewing within the covers of that book, "As one who knows the South better than most," declares Mr. Mencken, "and has had contact with most of its intellectuals, real and Confederate, I must say frankly that I can deed, the 'Negro' challenges the white southerner on a common ground, and beats him, hands down. I call to mind some of the leading Sub-Potomac master-minds of the orthodox faculty: Henderson of North Carolina, Gonzales of South Carolina, old Williams of Mississippi, old Hunt of Alabama, the Richmond News-Leader, the Jackson Daily News, the Nashville Banner—and I range them beside Locke, James Weldon Johnson, Walter F. White, Rudolph Fisher, Kelly Miller and half a dozen other contributors contrast is pathetic. The Africans are men of sense, learning and good bearing; the Caucasians are simply romantic wind-jammers, full of sound and furry, signifying nothing."
Inez Richardson Married.
New York City.—Dr. Wiley Wilson, former husband of Mrs. A'Lella Walker, and Miss Inez Richardson were married by Magistrate W. S. Fiske, Jan. 5. in Greenwich, Conn., resting place of Leonard Kip Rihabian). The co-curator, in 200 W. 138th St., this city in the building in which is located the doctor's sanitarium. Mrs. Wilson is the older daughter of Mrs. Lotte Mitchell Green, now the wife of the Hon. John P. Green of Cleveland, O.
Garvey to Be Deported.
Washington, D. C—Karl F. Phillips, commissioner of the Department of labor announces that Mrs. Garvey, self-styled provisional president of Africa, and president-general of the U. N. I. A., now serving a 5-year term in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., will probably have his sentence commuted by President Coolidge when he shall have finished (in a few days) the first year of his prison. Then the U. S. department of labor will deport him, Mr. Phillips says.
Bishop Ransom's Wife Honored.
New York City.—"The Emma Ransom House", the new lodging home for our working girls, will be opened, under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A., at an early date. It is equipped with every modern improvement for the accommodation and will be an annex to the Y. W. C. A. building on 137th St. Bishop and Mrs. Ransom started our Old Folks' Home in Cleveland, O., while he pastored St. John's A. M. E. church of that city, many years ago.
Gave Him $1,000!
Warrenton, Va. — While making his daily rounds with his newspapers, George Freeman picked up what he thought was an ordinary string of beads, carried them home and thought no more about them until he saw advertisements of Mrs. Mitchell and adolphia for a lost string of pearls, valued at $100,000. He returned them and was given a thousand dollars reward.
Another Credit to the Race, Texarkana, Ark. — Joe Dedding, (white), a farmer living between Saratoga and Mineral Springs, was brought here, last week Monday morning, placed in hospital for treatment. He suffered knife wounds in the abdomen and side said to have been inflicted by the wife of a tenant on his farm.

Six Men Seen Fleeing After the Blast—The Garvin Home Must Be Properly Guarded Cannot Depend on Police—Hands Off, Chamber!
A home-made bomb was exploded, last Saturday night, at Dr. C. H. Garvin's, 11114 Wade Park Ave. The only damage was the breaking of a kitchen window in the house and five windows in a vacant house, next door, formerly occupied by W. E. MacEwen, vice president of the National Refining Co., a leading member of the gang of residents who opposed Dr. and Mrs. Garvin's occupying the building until the murders were seen feeling after the explosion. Three weeks ago, last Saturday night, Dr. and Mrs. Garvin returned home to find the letters "K. K. K." painted on the side of their house. When the house was under construction, last September, organized efforts were made by a gang of property owners in the Wade allotment to prevent Dr. Garvin from occupying the house. Two mass meetings were held and an organization formed to negotiate with him and to prevent others of our people and Jews from acquiring property or moving into the allotment. About the same time the case, Dr. E. B. Garvin, a property owner in one section of Shaker Heights and the combined agitation resulted in the appointment of a committee of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce to study the situation. The committee's report announced that the Chamber would not interfere with the legal rights of people to
OUR EXCHANGES
Among the many duties in connection with editing a newspaper, which come before us each week, not a single one affords more pleasure than when we get the large number of excellent publications well edited by those of our group in every section of the country, place them near and carefully peruse their columns. To note the fine evidences of progress and the modern type of journals sent out each week causes such a feeling of elation as to suggest our turning immediately to the typewriter to forward a letter to those untiring champions of the cause of the racial group, and complimenting each on the excellent showing made through their publications in the face of such great odds. From the small four page, four column publication which cannot measure up in mechanical form to some of the publications located in the country were well educated to be employed for such work, to the largest and best edited papers sent out, we glance over each as thoroughly as is possible in the time allotted for such and conclude that each one is due great credit for rendering of wonderful service to humanity.
The thought is ever in our mind of the great service that the pioneers of the race's Fourth Estate rendered and further, a realization of just what little would have been accomplished had it not been for those far-sighted and earnest journalists the like of William H. Steward, of The Louisville, Ky., American Baptist; T. Thomas Fortune, now of The New York Negro World; Harry T. Thomas, of the Old Gazzette, who are yet active and greatly admired because of the great service they are rendering as journalists, and the great work accomplished during his lifetime by the inimitable John H. Murphy, founder of the Baltimore Afro-American. The efforts of these are considered with a deep sense of appreciation. It is the hope of the writer that such great benefactors as Stewart, Fortune and Smith will soon come in for some great and elaborate recognition on the part of, not only the publishers of our group, but the entire race, for the service they have rendered. Whatever success has been accomplished by the race publishers, the same can be attributed to the untiring efforts of the men who paved the way—Knoxville E. Tenn. News, Webster L. Porter, editor.

live where they please in this city. Capt. J. F. Blitzl, Lieut. Daniel O'Brien and Detective William Peters investigated the explosion. Peters found a piece of tin which indicated, he said, that some explosive had been placed in it and a fuse attached. Several bricks were found at the foundation of the garage. Garvin was attending a meeting downtown at the time of the explosion. Mrs. Garvin was entertaining a dozen women friends at a card party. She ran out and saw the men running away. Four ran west on Wade Park and two east, she said. A police guard was stationed at the house for the rest of the night. Since the local area of the N.A.A. Q.P. and Dr. Garvin and a K.K.K. warning a month ago, they should have been prepared for just such an emergency, should have kept a properly armed guard on duty, day and night. They and every one else knows that the police cannot be depended upon. The Detroit Sweets and other like cases, and that of Dr. E. A. Bailey in this city, prove that he yond all question. It is hoped the well-will act and be prepared for the future. Dr. Garvin is a veteran of the World War and no coward. He is going to live in that house and it is our people's DUTY to see that he has all the protection he may need to do so without any more such miserable experiences.
EMULATING THE "SOCIAL EQUALITY"
Practiced Most Largely in the South By White Men and Our Women. This Brother Gets Into Deep Trouble.
New York City—Lieut. Mooney looked up in surprise as the detectives in the bureau, next door, at the 16th precinct (Harlem), last week Monday night, toppled all over themselves and all other obstacles when Edna Wallace Harper (not Hopper), a young woman, (white), rushed in, yelling murder with blood flowing from wounds in her head and face. At the same time there came a terribly violent bureaual door. Nobody seemed to know just which way to go first. Mrs. Estell Baughman failed to tell her husband, Alfonse, that she had changed jobs and secured a half time position. When she returned home unexpectedly, too early Monday of last week, and found Mrs. Edna Wallace Harper shrouded in her bed linens, a man hung over a lightly smoking, a few inches away, the bureaual began. Mrs. Baughman got both kitchen knife and a razor as she vaulted to the bath-room in her hurry. After she put the woman to flight, Baughman "joined the birds," instantly. When he "bucked" the detectives door he was being closely pushed by his wife, razor in hand. When he was running back himself in the detective bureau. They thought he was diving in somewhere, next door. Police investigated the mystery, held the Baughman family for court action, and sent Mrs. Edna Wallace Harper to the hospital.
RIOT VICTIM GIVEN $100.
Girard Man Agrees to Settlement.
Warren, O.—Raymond Baker (white) of Girard will receive $100 for personal injuries sustained when he was attacked by rioters during the klan and anti-klan riot, Nov. 1, 1924. An agreed verdict was entered here. Tuesday, as settlement of Baker's $500 suit for damages filed against the commissioners of Trumbull county, under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Anti-Lynching law or Mob Violence act. Baker was "easy" as the law gives $500 for injury at the hands of a mob.
"The Newspaper Business".
New York City.—The Chicago Defender has closed its New York office for the first time in 10 years. All of the employees including Jas. L. Chestnut, have been given their releases.

Thanks! Editors Fred R. Moore of the N. Y. Age and Webster L. Porter of the Knoxville E. Tenn. News. We fear that we are hardly deserving, however.
Editor Geo. W. Harris of the N. Y. News some years ago certainly set Dr. Wiley Wilson an excellent example which the latter has recently followed, securing "a Cleveland beauty", too.
The Gazette sincerely regrets the passing of its long-time contemporary, The Indianapolis Freeman, which discontinued publication, last week. It's local representative, Dr. James K. Nickens, certainly rendered it valuable assistance during the past two or three years.
In a communication far too long for publication, Mr. David Hawkins flays Ormond A. Forte and George A. Myers of this city for their efforts to place the blame on him for the segregation attempted in the recent "Charleston contest" which the local authorities stopped. He says he had no part in that phase of the affair, nor would he do such a thing under any circumstances. Good, Mr. Hawkins.
The Gazette hopes the local ministers, who called on Director Barry relative to the recent looting of five of our churches by thieves, were thoughtful enough to take up with him the need of more and better police protection for the Cedar-Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district because of the miserably immoral conditions existing there. That phase is infinitely more important to our people of this community than pecuniary or other losses of churches, other organizations or individuals.

It does not seem to make any difference how able the average southerner is his prejudice against our people can make the biggest kind of an ass of him. A case in point is presented in U. S. Senator Caraway's (Arkansas) introduction of an anti-intermarriage bill for the District of Columbia. Our people in all parts of the country should get in touch with their U. S. Senators where-ever they can and urge them to do all they can to have the malicious bill killed so dead in the committee that Gabriel's horn will not awaken it.
We are heartily with our local federation of women's clubs, in their very praiseworthy effort to secure a commutation or mitigation of the death sentence meted out to that youth of seventeen years, Emanuel Ross, who (with Youngs) was recently convicted of killing Isadore Steeck, a Central Ave, Jewish store-keeper. The position in opposition of President Clayborne George of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch and the president of the local Ministerial Alliance is not tenable when Ross' tender age is taken into consideration. Fight on ladies! May success crown your efforts.
Dr. Charles H. Garvin has been notified that, upon recommendation of the faculty of the school of medicine and the board of trustees of Western Reserve university, he has been appointed an assistant surgeon in the department of genito-urinary surgery of the dispensary of the school of medicine of Western Reserve university and of Lakeside hospital, for the year 1926. Yes, this is the same Dr. Garvin under whose home kluxers put a "home-made" bomb, last Saturday night, blowing out a kitchen window and four or five windows in the house, next door.
President Coolidge has been appealed to by his friend, Indiana's kluxer governor, Ed. Jackson, to appoint a "Negro" follower by the name of Tidrington, register of the U.S. treasury at Washington, D.
THE GEEVUM GIRLS
C., to succeed one Harvey N. Speelman of Ohio who became a violent segregationist just as soon as he landed, in that prejudice-ridden capital of the nation, as an officeholder. When we knew Speelman, years ago, in this state he was anything but the kind he seems to be now, from a race-point. If Tidrington was anything else but a "Negro", Coolidge would undoubtedly oblige his kluxer friend, Gov. Ed. Jackson.
The recent thirteenth annual meeting of the P. W. A. was largely attended. The principal address was made by Dr. Robert Vinson, president of Western Reserve university, who came to Cleveland, last year, from Texas. Dr. Vinson stressed the necessity of justice prevailing with individuals, nations or races, if success is sought. He also pointed out the need of civilized minds which are the guardian gems of democracy when guided by virtue. His address certainly gave the audience as genuine a surprise as it was pleasing. They, those present, hoped for but did not expect it. Dr. Vinson is apparently a bigger and broader man, intellectually, than many thought him to be.
GARVIN'S HOUSE BOMBED.
Thousands of dollars have been collected from our people of this community by the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., since its organization, and Afro-Americans of Cleveland have long felt that it is high time that some of this money should be used for their benefit here at home! The impression prevails that most (if not nearly all) of this money has been sent to the N. A. A. C. P. headquarters in New York City, and that "charity begins (or ought to) at home", especially when it is so sadly needed. As one of our leading professional men said to the writer, about ten days ago, this feeling is the reason why only eleven hundred dollars in cash and subscriptions, instead of $11,000 as suggested by The Gazette, were given, the Sunday of the "Sweets" meeting in this city. He also said there was a very general feeling that the officers of the national organization (in N. Y. City) were paying themselves entirely too large salaries. Be this as it may, the fact "stands out in bold relief" that little or none of the thousands of dollars our people of Cleveland have contributed to the N. A. A. C. P. local branch seems to have been used for their benefit here in Cleveland. When Dr. E. A. Bailey was so harassed by the K. K. K., the police and mayor of Shaker Heights that he was finally compelled to vacate his beautiful new home in that section of the city, he complained bitterly to the writer of the failure of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch particularly and others of our local organizations as well as individuals to give him the support he had a perfect right to expect. Blowing and bragging of intention to do, and of what has been done elsewhere, won't do in such cases as Garvin's and Bailey"'s. In case of the former three weeks' warning, at least, was given by the K. K. K. that trouble just like that of last Saturday night might be expected, and yet, Mrs. Garvin with women guests only were left in the Garvin home at night, too, to experience the shock and the scare the explosion that homemade bomb gave. There should be a guard in the Garvin home, day and night, who knows how to use a good shot-gun, and is not afraid to use it intelligently when called upon to do so in protection of that home and its inmates, and some of those thousands of dollars contributed to the local N. A. A. C. P. branch should be used to pay those guards. When the K. K. K. scoundrels know that this precaution has been taken there will be no more outrages such as that of Saturday night last at Garvin's, or any other Afro-American's home in this vicinity so protected. Your home is your castle which the law of the land upholds you in protecting in that or any other way when it is done intelligently and within the law. Come, let us have some real action from the local N. A. A. C. P. branch and not so much talk of little things done or to be done, especially those that cost nothing or next to nothing in dollars and cents as well as effort.
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1926
THE USUAL RESULT!
Common Pleas Judge Walter McMahon, last Friday, instructed a jury to return a verdict of not guilty in the cases of four young Jewish men charged with manslaughter in connection with the killing of Albert Morrison, (Mossey), Kent, O., in a restaurant, Nov. 13, at E 55th St. and Woodland Ave. The men set free are: Aaron Goldstein, 5811 Griswold Ave.; Larry Rubin, 3414 E. 119th St.; Sam Mobile, 6110 Woodland Ave.; and Morris Fisher, 3448 E. 123d St. These are the cases The Gazette has been warning our people of this community, for several weeks, to watch and care for properly. Instead of doing so, the N. A. A. C. P. local branch and our local federation of women's clubs "slept on their rights" with the above result. The only one who seemed to be alive and active in the effort to have Justice meted out was Atty. Louise Pridgene and she alone could not do all that was necessary to be done. When any of our people kill a Jew they are very properly made to pay the penalty because the Jewish people are "up on their toes" every minute of the time until conviction is secured, as in the cases of Ross and Young, week before last. How different when one of our people is killed by a Jew or Jews is to be seen in the finale of the Morrison (Mossey) case. The most unfortunate thing about it all is that we always faft to do our clear DUTY in such cases. Shame, O, SHAME! Blowing and bragging about what you are going to do should be stopped and a little constructive work DONE.

Tell It, Brother, Tell It!
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 Afro-American 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 Afro-American citizens 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.
'SONG OF WINDS' REVEALS HIS PAST
AWAY FROM HOME SIX MONTHS
Victim of Lost Memory Restored to Normal State by Devoted Spouse's Piano Music.
Worcester, Mass.—Music wafted tack to the empty halls of the lost memory of Charles Futzhugh McReigh, a Boston composer, the love of a devoted wife, a deserted home and anxious friends the other night. Memoryless McReigh had been wandering about the country for months.
McReigh mysteriously disappeared from his home over six months ago. He returned the night of his disappearance from a musical gathering with his wife and a party of friends, shortly after midnight. The following morning he failed to come down to breakfast.
For several weeks the family had no word of his whereabouts. After a while Mrs. McReigh heard that a man answering to her husband's description had come under the observation of the police of several New England cities.
Detectives were appealed to and in the course of a month traced the missing man to Norwalk, Conn., and discovered that while he appeared to be in perfect health, his mind was blank as to his whole previous existence. Nothing could be done to arouse him to his past personality. The wife and family physicians were summoned, but McReigh could not be made to recollect himself. Specialists were consulted at the time and it was their judgment that he would never recover his mental balance. They suggested only one chance. If an idea, something that had been absorbing part of his life, could be brought suddenly to his mind, the reaction might accomplish that for which they hoped.
McReigh came to Worcester three weeks ago and registered at the largest hotel. Each night he would sit in the mezzanine balcony intently watching the piano player, who was a fair young woman with beautiful blonde hair. He sat there continuously and silently, always with a set look of wonderment as the music was unfolded under the deft touch of the little player.
The night McReigh recovered his reason was witnessed by several others who were sitting by him listening to the music. The little pianist was playing as usual mostly soft, low music that was soothing and restful, until she came to the last selection, "The Song of the Winds." As she came to the final measure, with the crash of falling trees and overturned homes, McReigh arose from his chair and staggered toward the piano, and in an instant the little player and McReigh were locked in arms' tight embrace.
There were just two words spoken — "Tom" and Frances. Then the woman collapsed and McReigh had to be carried away, his face an ashy color. Both were cared for by the house doctor.
It afterward developed that the little pianist was Mrs. McReigh. Acting on the advice of specialists, she had followed her memoryless husband from city to city. Being people of wealth she was able to go at any length to accomplish her purpose. McReigh was supplied with funds through the management of the different hotels at which he registered, without his knowledge, and the wife consented to pose as a musician in need of employment in order that she could be able to play in the presence of her husband. "The Song of the Winds" was McReigh's best known and favorite composition. McReigh was under the watchful eye of his wife from the time of his discovery in Norwalk.
McReigh's memory was perfectly normal the following day and man and wife returned to their home in Boston with plans for a second honeymoon through the west to celebrate the glad occasion.
TURTLES FAST TO HIS FOOT.
Surprise for Delaware Man When He Walks Into Smokehouse.
Ellendale, Del.—Walter Millman walked barefoot into his smokehouse to slice a piece of ham for breakfast, when two snapping turtles fastened themselves to his foot. His screams brought other members of the family to his aid, and for nearly an hour they worked to pry the turtles loose.

For many years, in fact ever since
the order of Elks has been repre-
sented in Cleveland, Cuyahoga lodge
has reigned unchallenged. Rules of
the order prohibit the establishment
of two lodges in the same ‘ity.
About two years ago, however, King
Tut lodge was set up in East Cleve-
land. To this Cuyahoga lodge did
not object. Subsequently the new
lodge received permission to hold
meetings in Cleveland because of the
fact that its entire membership re-
sided in this city. Cuyahoga ruled
in Clevetand—and King Tut was
apparently content to let the older
lodge rule, but reached out and cor-
ralled men of energy and vision.
Soon it had 500 members and more
than $2,000 in its treasury. At the
last convention of the order in
Richmond, Va., King Tut lodge sent
delegates ‘with those of Cuyahoga
oage and the convention decided
to come to Cleveland. Cuyahoga
lodge feels that the Grand lodge
cames as its guest. King Tut be-
lieves differently—and, so far, the
grand exalted ruler seems to agree
—that it comes as the guest of the
two lodges of this district, and ac-
cordingly claims a share of the
honors in preparing for the conven-

THE MAN WHO DARES
“T honor the man who in the
conscientious discharge of his
duty dares to stand alone; the
world, with ignorant, intoler-
ant 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 applause of
the world, the countenances

PROTEST AGAINST WRONG
To submit in silence when

ards out of men. The human
race has climbed on protest.
