HON. FERDINAND L. BARNETT Former Resident of Cleveland Ohio, Now a Member of The Nebraska Legislature—Has 'Introduced An Anti- Lynching Bill, Lincoln, Neb.—Ferdinand L. Barnett of Omaha, one of our two members of the lower branch of the Nebraska State Assembly which convenes here, was born in Huntsville, Ala., about sixty years ago, where he went to school until he started attending night-classes at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. He married his first wife, Mrs. Alice Barnett, in Louisville, Ky., moving to Cleveland, Ohio, where he resided for thirteen years. In June, 1887, Mr. Barnett removed to Omaha, his home city, where Mrs. Barnett, well and most favorably remembered in Cleveland, died about ten years ago. Published a Newspaper. Published a Newspaper. In October 1889 he started "The Progress" our first newspaper in Omaha, which he built for four years. His first public job was a probate clerkship in the office of County Judge Irving F. Baxter; his second, a side-walk inspectorship, under Mayor Frank E. Moores. He became a street foreman, under Mayor Dahlman. For the last six years, he has been head-janitor of the city hall. All in Omaha. It was this fact which used the newspaper of the city to publish a facetious "jibes about" Barnett, Negro janitor, candidate for the legislature," when he ran the first time, two years ago, and again last fall. But "Ferd" fooled them this time. Mr. Barnett was married a second time, two years ago, to a Mrs. Watts who is making him an exceptionally fine help-mate. He is a property-holder, owning two places. Omaha is his home. John's M. E. Church of that city and is a thirty-third degree Mason. Introduces Ohio Mob Violence Act. Remembering the editor of the Gazette's good work in the Ohio Legislature, against mob violence, in 1894 and 1896, and the mob violence demonstration in Omaha in the early 1900s, burned and a member of the race lynched. Mr. Barnett has introduced a bill, (a copy of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Anti-Lynching law) which will give Nebraska an effective mob violence act in case of its passage in both branches of the State Assembly. The provisions of the bill are so well and generally known to "The Old Reliable" Gazette's thousands of readers that reference to its provisions is unnecessary in this article. Dr. Andrew Singleton, an Omaha dentist and our other member of the Nebraska legislature, is from Nebraska. Mr. Barnett from the tenth district of Douglas County in which is located the city of Omaha. The latter's many old friends in Cleveland, Ohio, will be greatly pleased to note Mr. Barnett's steady progress along political and material lines since his coming to Nebraska. Judicial Committee Recommends It return to him. Mr. Barnett's bill was returned to him by the judiciary committee of the House which recommended a few changes, which he has made. That committee has now promised to recommend it for passage. This is a great help and as a rule secures favorable consideration by that august body. We no longer have an anti-lynching bill (by the House) which will then go to the State Senate for consideration. SUGGS TO BATTLE IN TOLEDO. Toledo, O.—Chick Suggs, the great New England featherweight, and Jimmie Mende of Philadelphia and Cleveland, will fight the first "mixed bout" ever presented in Toledo, Tuesday, Feb. 1. They are scheduled for 12 rounds, in the feature number of our Toledo Athletic club, with Billy Evans, sensational Ohio Afro-American featherweight, meeting Ward Sparks of Detroit in the semi-final. The fight is expected to draw one of the largest crowds of the season for a fistic entertainment here. It is more than a year since one of our boxers has appeared in Toledo, and in the past all such bouts were between men of the same race. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MAKES A VERY SERIOUS CHARGE.

STATE SUES TO DISSOLVE The Hope Aid and Relief Association of Cleveland—President Cheatham Says The Organization Is O. K. Columbus, O.—Suit to dissolve the Hope Aid and Relief Association of Cleveland was brought in appellate court here, last week Friday, by State Attorney General Edward C. Turner after the state insurance department declared it in a "hazardous condition". The association has about 3,000 members, who contribute weekly sums ranging from 5 to $100,000. It is said to do business among our people of the "Forest City". William C. Safford, deputy insurance commissioner, said he did not thing the policy holders would lose anything unless complications develop. G. L. Cheatham, president (in Cleveland) said he didn't know anything about the court action, but said his company was in good shape. In connected with three others too," One of them in Chicago is going to give me some financial help if I need it. My books are right up to date." CAN USE THE PARKS NOW! Bolivian Indians Now Free From The Conquistadore's Yoke. Orruo, Bolivia.—A miserable law that probably dates back to the time of the first conquistadores was recently abolished here when the city fathers suppressed a prejudiced municipal regulation which prohibited Indians (natives) from walking across the public plazas. For hundreds of years Indians have been forced to walk around the squares and in many cases comparatively severe punishment has been imposed on violators of this shameless ancient ordinance. LANGFORD BENEFIT A SUCCESS New York City.—About $6,000 was raised in a benefit boxing show, last week Wednesday night, for Sam Langford, one-time terror of the heavyweights, who is now almost blind.

He is suing for a writ of habeas corpus and attached to his petition is a threat of punishment over the signature, "K. K. K." IN UNION IS STRENGTH THE COPY FIVE CENTS NES! SERIOUS CHARGE. , WHICH THE BISHOP AID TO BE force University — Prof. arts to Save It—What Xenia Property School. University, Mr. Joiner asserted, he predicted that in case of trouble between Bishop Jones and the university it might be difficult to show that the farm was not purchased by Bishop Jones for himself. The notes. Mr. Joiner said, were in the name of Bishop Jones. Mr. Joiner said to have stated in his affidavit that Bishop Jones maintained that he had been compelled to pledge his own credit but that the farm was being purchased for Wilberforce University and that it was and always would be the property of Wilberforce. The board failed to act on the recommendation of the university, Mr. Joiner declared, and subsequently the farm was claimed by Bishop Jones upon his being deposed as president of Wilberforce University. Mr. Joiner added that Bishop Jones stated that he was using the money of the university in purchasing the property for the school. Boozing has very naturally caused many to wonder what is the status of the recent purchase of well-known property in Xenia, O., which it was announced at the time was to be used as a law school in connection with Wilberforce University. Then there is the matter of that real estate at Yellow Springs, Ohio, worth $5,290 left to Wilberforce university (that is declassed), of Zanesville, as a permanent endowment fund! The claim is made that the property was sold, years ago, by Bishop W. B. Derrick, former president of the trustee board of the university, and Horace Tolbert, former secretary of the University. Both long since dead, LOCAL BRANCH, ATTENTION! Here Is An Opportunity to Do Something—Gillespie Wants Help And Ought to Have It. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir;—The police department must stop indiscriminately arresting innocent men and women of color in the third district, and for one, I am willing to do whatever I can to prevent a continuance of the practice. If there are any organizations of any kind or description that will join me in this effort, the help and encouragement will be gratefully received. Facts In A Case. On or about Jan. 17, 27, Elias Evans was sent by his employer to Mose Nixson's house in Scovill Ave, near E. 14th St., to urge Nixson to come to work. Shortly after Evans arrived at Nixson's home and while the police arrived and arrested everyone in the house, seven or eight in number, and charged them all with being "suspicious persons". Evans protested and suggested to the officers that he was there on business, but he and the rest were taken to Central Police Station, held for practically two days, the investigation and finally charged as stated in the foregoing. Judge Jacob Stace, however, on Jan. 21, 27, discharged Evans. The undersigned represented him in police court. (Atty.) Chester K. Gillespie- A BIT OF CONTRAST. (From The Washington, D.

(Bell Phone: Cherry 1259) Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans published or circulated in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The splendid report, of the past year's work of the Washington, D.C., N. A. A. C. P. local branch, just received, and Attorney Chester K. Gillespie's letter, published elsewhere in this paper, again remind us of the fact that the Cleveland branch of that organization, under its new president, still has a wonderful opportunity for service to our people of this community which it has failed to grasp from the very first—from its inception. The fact is, local Afro-Americans are entitled to vastly more than they have ever received from the organization for the amount of money they have put into it. Occasional public meetings, addressed by officers of the organization or others, with frequent opportunities to contribute financially to the N. A. A. C. P.'s work elsewhere in the country are about all our people of this community have had from the organization. Attorney Gillespie's suggestion is one of the many opportunities for service which we sincerely trust the new president of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch will give the kind of consideration, at an early date, that will net our people of Cleveland greatly needed service with favorable results. We are in full accord with our local contemporary, "The Call", in its recent suggestion to the local N. A. A. C. P. branch of a constructive program for service along lines followed by the Washington, D.C., N. A. A. C. P. local branch under the exceptionally able leadership of Prof. Naval H. Thomas. That organization did splendid work for our people of the nation's capital all last year against segregation, denials of citizen rights, privileges, etc. DR. ELLIS A. DALE HONORED. Dr. Ellis A. Dale, offices 4002 Central Ave., Cleveland, received on Jan. 12, '27, a letter from Harry B. Sims, 8811 Euclid Ave., City, secretary of Huron Road hospital, notifying him of his appointment to the associated staff of the hospital for 1927 and that while thus affiliated with the institution he will be listed as a Huron Road hospital physician. Continuing the letter says: "You will receive notices of the staff meetings and will be expected to use these meetings for the presentation of cases, which have come up in your own practice and can not be sent to the hospital, upon which you might desire the opinion of the staff members." This is a distinct asset to Dr. Dale in the practice of his profession and he is one of our oldest and best Cleveland physicians. Huron Road hospital is not only one of the best but also one of the oldest institutions of the kind in the city, maintaining the highest standard of professional service. We congratulate both the doctor and the hospital on his appointment. It is very encouraging to our people of this community. With several others of our local physicians officially connected with leading local hospitals, it seems almost incredible that there are members of the race in this community, some of them physicians, nearly all of whom came to Cleveland from "down-home" in recent years, still struggling to establish a "jim-crow" hospital for our people of Cleveland and vicinity. It seems to us that the physicians and others, so recently from the south, ought to be the last of our people to strive to segregate and encourage local hospitals to segregate Afro-American patients. Some hospitals have done entirely too much of that sort of thing in this community, already, at the request of "jim crow Negroes". Lord, have mercy! TWO PERTINENT QUESTIONS. Now comes the "colored sister" in politics: Mrs. Ruth Whitehead Whaley of New York City was one THE GEEVUM GIRLS WELL! WELL! HOME AT LAST! I'M SIMPLY CRAZY TO SEE THE GIRLS! of a delegation of members of the race to call on President Calvin Coolidge, recently, at the "White House" in Washington, at least two of whom put decidedly interesting and pertinent questions to the chief executive of the nation which are of more than passing interest to our people, particularly at this time. "Sister" Whaley asked "his highness": "If the federal government has the power to declare martial law in Herrin, Illinois, because of a riotous uprising, why can not similar action be taken in communities where lynching occurs and mob law prevails?" With Mrs. Whidley was Professor S. R. Williams who presented to the president a resolution adopted at a mass meeting held in New York City, Dec. 9, 1926, which called on the president to enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the U. S. Constitution with the same vigor as the 18th amendment. All of which is very interesting indeed The principle brought out in Mrs. Whaley's question was one made clear during President Cleveland's administration, many years ago, when he sent U. S. soldiers into Illinois to protect government (railroad) property during a strike. If the government has the power, which it surely has, to do that, that same power can and should be invoked whenever necessary to protect the lives of citizens—government lives—far more important and valuable than government property. President Coolidge told "Sister" Whaley that her "suggestion was a new one and had never before been considered". The president is in error. "The Old Reliable" Gazette, at the time, called attention to the importance of President Cleveland's act and asked why the government's power to protect property was not used to protect government life. And this line of reasoning was followed in many of the leading magazines and daily newspapers of that time, the principle enunciated being accepted generally. "Brother" Robinson's point was well taken and the action requested under the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments would be forthcoming promptly if it were not for the unfortunate fact that the persons most interested, those who would be benefited by said action, are Afro-Americans. The Coolidge administration, from president down, is not much concerned when it comes to that class of citizens. The president has talked fairly well at times, but when it comes to action, he is inactivity itself. We have the remedy for this sort of thing in our own hands and whenever we learn to use our voting power as we should, not only the president, but the reigning political power at Washington, be it Republican or Democratic, will give us action, instead of beautiful words, when we demand it. "Keeping kool with Coolidge", "stringing along" with him and the Republican party has secured absolutely nothing favorable for Afro-American followers and their people for many years. Only segregation in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service, refusal of presidential appointments to office, etc. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

Federal prohibition agents raided the house Nov. 26 and got beer and whiskies. **Fleming Witness Also** At her hearing before United States Commissioner M. J. Monahen, Councilman Fleming not only defended her, but testified in her behalf. This was her first time she described the layout of the house. Fleming declared their location of doors and rooms to be incorrect. He knew, "had been there often", he said. Hattie pleaded guilty, last Tuesday, to sale of liquor and maintaining a nuisance. **Arnery's Wife on Bond** She was on on $5000 bond signed by Mrs. Lethia C.

Ohio's Largest Store Ask for Eagle Stamps Reckless Driving Cause of Many Auto Accidents The number injured and killed in auto and motor-cycle accidents is appalling. Most of these accidents can be accounted for by reckless driving. The worst of it is that the innocent suffer with the guilty, whether riding with the reckless driver or in the other car. It is a great temptation when out on a fine country road to "let 'er out." The width of the road, the curves, the traffic, have everything to do with safety when going in a swift moving car. A safe speed in one place may be a very dangerous speed in another place not far distant. National prohibition will reduce accidents considerably. Every driver ought to feel some responsibility for the safety of those riding with him and others using the highways. The day of regret is bound to come to every reckless driver. The intent to kill may not be there, and no jury can bring in a verdict of murder, yet the results are the same. Speeding ceases to be a joke when it ends in a permanent injury or a death. The guilty one can never get away from the remorse of that moment of careless driving—Successful Farming. Leak in Vacuum Feed In cars using vacuum feed a leak in the line running to the inlet manifold may interfere with proper operation of the engine at high speed, though not at low. The reduced vacuum in the tank, caused by leak, results in less fuel being lifted than is ordinarily the case, and with a wide-open throttle, let us say, on a hard pull, the engine demand will be greater than the supply, which means spitting and possibly stopping of the engine. 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 or Afro-American lives, 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.

IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND 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 against them, and social rights today. The fresh 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 nature without rights and not '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. You Too Can Be BEAUTIFUL If you have wiry, coarse, stubborn, uply hair start today using Herolin Pomade Hair by克斯.

Guaranteed and Efficient Work TWENTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE 'Phone: Bell, Randolph 6978 Sundays by Appointment DEVICE "OUT-THINKS" MAN IN MANY CASES 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 A remarkable electric clock with uncanny powers has been invented by a Washington ophthalmologist, Dr. J. C. Van Slyke, who has trained it to some feats that even many humans are incapable of doing. This clock will turn on automobile parking light 15 minutes after sundown—not at five o'clock or 6 o'clock, but exactly 15 minutes after the sun has sunk on the horizon. It will turn that same parking light off at daybreak the following morning in the same mysterious way. The invention will do other remarkable things without adjustment at any time, except every four years, to account for leap year. Government horological experts are manifesting considerable interest in Doctor Van Slyke's invention. THE CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT shown above was used for the purpose of increasing the Capital of VICTORY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY to $200,000.00 FULLY PAID, and its Surplus to $100,000.00 making it the LARGEST CAPITALIZED OLD LINE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY IN THE WORLD owned and operated by Negroes. The following extract is quoted from the letter of the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of Illinois announcing this EPOCH MAKING EVENT: This forward step is in keeping with the policy of this young and progressive organization to offer to its policy-holders and the general public a larger service than ever before, and to continue in its determination to build a company that will give to its clients the largest insurance service at the lowest possible cost. RACE PREJUDICE1 "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together the most diverse and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount.
