Will Cillen himen-Elect Gregg and George Bo Silent and Practically Useless Members, as far as the Race is Concerned, Like Coun- Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Dear Sir: I three of our race to the city council, Nov. 8. we was a direct outcome of your vigilance and a victory for our people of Cleveland. But there are some things greater than merely electing our men to office. Things that give the least among us a fair chance in the struggle upward where all the roads are made accessible to the roads and aspire. Victories are greatest that are won for the great struggling masses. Cities are great that hold out the beacon of hope to their children. Public officials are great only when they safeguard the rights of the struggling masses. Restricted privileges in public institutions—in parks, swimming pools, etc.—only remind us of the demagogues that we have elected to safeguard our civil rights, those demagogues defeated and forgotten. The right the masses, defended and guarded by a public official, makes him a great big man, a permanent character whose name is easy, to remember, whose greatness is built upon the foundation of justice, equality and liberty alike for all the people. Racial prejudice in too many public officials are forgotten by Negroes whose greatness is blind allegiance to party-machine-politicians, that are stealing the rights of our children, is bragging advocated. I wonder if our newly elected councilmen will catch the lock-jaw on the complete bar against Negro internes and student nurses in our city hospital? I wonder will Manager Hopkins let Blossom get away with the greatest steal of human rights? Blossom, City Welfare Director, is incompetent to properly fill the council's vacant position. Councilmen will sit in the council, like Tom Fleming has, and elect Hopkins and let him appoint a welfare director who will bar our girls from hospital's nursing classes and continue to drive our young medical graduates from the city's interne classes? I hope they will remember that they are to help elect Hopkins again and that Hopkins will appoint the welfare director. Blossom ought to be slated to go back to the office of oblivion for he is not a fit man like a welfare director of a great city like New York. He will have prestige enough to carry the welfare bonds for city improvements because of his prejudice against our people. We killed his bonds. Nov. 8. Dudley Blossom ought to be slated to leave the city manager's cabinet on Jan. 1, 1928. Joe T. Thomas, M. D. LYNCH-MURDER 18 YEAR OLD BOY. Columbia, Ten.-Charged with a criminal assault upon a girl (white). Henry Choate, age 18, was lynch-murdered here, last Saturday, several hours after his arrest at a farm-house where it is said, a blood-stained pistol was found. A mob of 350 armed brutes battered down the door of the jail, it is said, to get him and hung him from a second story window of the court house. Sheriff L. C. Wiley said he unlocked Choate's cell-door because the threatened to did all of the prisoner to did all of the do. Rev. J. R. Parsons, among the prominent citizens who endeavored to prevent the lynch-murder, declared the door was not battered down but was unlocked from the inside, and is undoubtedly telling the truth. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The Coolidge Administration "Off-Campus" Parts, as Far as we are concerned. (Special to The Gazette) (Jersey City, N. J.—President Coolidge does not "choose to run." His administration has not manifested the correct racial attitude. However, the President should know and also the Republican party, that self-respecting Negro Republicans are dissatisfied with the treatment the race is receiving. The Republican party means nothing to us Negro Republicans unless it gives us the same in everything it gives any and every class of voters. For the Republican party to refuse to put Colored men Dr. William A. Byrd. in responsible places in the government because southern white women don't want to serve under them, is cowardice and object surrender to prejudice. Our votes entitle us to party recognition without regard to prejudiced white women inside or outside of the party. The Republican party must choose, at the polls, between loyal Negro Republican voters and the southern white women who vote the Democratic ticket all of the time. In other words the Republican party has on its hands "The Farmers' fight of the West and also the Negroes the country over wherever they can vote. Negro voters resent the caste system in government. The Republican party is the same as any other hostile party when it grasps after our vote and, after receiving it, kicks us for turning its political "grindstone." It is our business to organize and break up this party discrimination, or get out of it. It be satisfied with the treatment Colored Republicans have received under the last two Republican administrations, is to acknowledge to the world that we are craven cowards and deserve worse. The party must do better. Right pivotal states can be called by our vote. This may be called a threat. Call it what you may. We are going to strike for our rights and political privileges as all other races and groups are doing. What does the Republican party mean to do about it? (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. GOOD U. S.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS GAINS LIBERTY AFTER SIX YEARS IN THE FEDERAL PENITENTIARY AT ATLANTA AND TELLS GRUESOME STORY Of How He Was Forced to Kill Many "Slaves", Members of the Race—Truth Stranger Than Fiction and in This Day and Time, Too—Many Brained With an Axe and 313 Drowned and in Free America, Too! New York City.—Three weeks ago when Earl Carroll, (white), New York theatrical producer, famous for his bath tub trial, received his pardon and the gates of Atlanta Penitentiary swung open to free him, there also came through the same gates, unofficed, unheralded and unsung, a young lad of the race, age 26, by the name of Clyde Manning. After spending six years in jail, came out and through enough workers in Atlanta, recieved enough monks one that chills the bones of his hearers. It dates back before 1921 when he was overseer on a farm in Jasper County, Ga. The owner of the large 4,000 acre farm was John S. Williams, (white), who had working for him more than 300 Negroes. There was no such thing as remuneration for the workers, slaves in every respect. To get two meals a day was considered good fortune on this farm. Two dollars a head was what Williams paid for his "slaves." To get them was easy enough. He would go to the courts and when a fine was imposed on a Negro who had no money, Williams would step up, tell the man or woman on whom the fine was imposed that he would pay the fine to save them from jail, and that they could work on his farm to pay off the debt. The unsuspecting victim would agree to this and be taken out to the farm whose bravery he takes to take place. For some going out to the farm meant years of torture, finally resulting in death. Clyde Manning, who was 19 at that time, was made the overseer. He was born on the farm and had never known another h ome. From 3 in the morning until 7 at night, he toiled, with the rest of the "slaves," and received for his trouble the punishment, and often witnessed the killing of other unfortunates and he heard talk about the rest that they were all at one time or another to go to their Creator. In this state of mind, it was no hard task for the boss to get Manning to carry out his bloody deeds. Under a Death Threat With the threat of death over him Manning was made to perform his task of overseer and necessitated him take up on the protection of the "slaves." If one man picked 350 pounds of cotton a day, then it was up to him to report those "slaves" who failed to come up to that standard. A worker who failed to reach the mark set for him, was taken out to the whipping post and subjected to the lash—50 hard blows on the bare skin. When the "slaves" eyed and their release from bondage, the boss would spot them out and call for Manning. Under pain of death if he did not execute his boss's wishes, he was obliged to take the condemned man or woman to a plot of ground far out into the fields where he would make dig a hole. When the hole reached a depth where the person was obliged to stand in it to shovel, then the execution would take place. Slipping up the digger, Manning would be made to dig a hole and take an axe and chop open and sometimes cut off the head of the unsuspecting person. The execution over, the body of the victim would be buried in the hole he had dug. Manning remembered killing 12 persons by means of the axe. Other times, Manning was forced to tie rocks and bags weighted down a round the neck of some man or woman whom the boss thought was too troublesome. The person with weights on him and no means of escape would be thrown into the Yellow River and drowned. Federal authorities recovered from the river scores and scores of skeletons which bore silent testimony to the wholesale slaughter done on the farm. Manning told this writer that he had taken part in at least 313 of these drownings. This seemingly quiet farm, where corn, cotton, potatoes, vegetables and cattle were raised, came under the watchful eye of the Federal authorities and an investigation was made. Both the white boss, John S. Williams, and his overseer, Clyde Manning, were arrested and as a result sentenced to the Federal Prison at Atlanta for life im- $2 a Head for "Slaves."

Manning was first sentenced to the Milledgeville "crazy house," and when it was found that he was not insane, he was transferred to the Federal jail. A pardon let the white man off four weeks after his imprisonment. And just three weeks ago, the colored man, Clyde Manning, after six long years imprisonment, was paroled. Friendless, penniless and with the terrible memory of his farm enslavement, he is in New York trying to forget and to get a new start in life.—N. Y. Age. DOINGS OF THE RACE Ninety-two women (of both races) have been lynched in this country in the past forty years. Mrs. Annie E. Malone was a recent visitor in Harlem (New York City), boosting her great Poro College. Prosperous New York City Afro-Americans are about to purchase a 600-acre summer resort, "Serento," on the coast of Maine. "Judge" Edward W. Henry of Philadelphia was elected, last week. He had served part of a term on the appointment of Gov. Pinchot. Dr. Francis J. Grimke, age 77, thirty-five years pastor of Fifteenth St. Presbyterian church, Washington, D. C., has been in the ministry 49 years. Charles Thompson, laborer, of Jersey City, N. J., won in the supreme court an award of $45,000 for injuries that caused the amputation of a leg. Our people of Hall's Hall, Va., recently refused a Ku Klux Klan offer of a Bible and an American flag, saying they could not accept them without the "loss of self and race respect and manhood." Good! John H. Parker of New York City was given the position of factory branch representative of the Sturgeg Multiple Battery Co., recently. Several other Afro-Americans hold responsible positions with this company. Fred R. Moore, age 70, editor of the N. Y. Age, was elected to represent the 19th aldermanic district of New York City, last week, and John C. Hawkins was elected alderman in the 21st district. Salary $5,000; term 2 years. President Coolidge recently appointed Addison R. Southard as minister resident and consul general to Abyssinia, Africa. This will prove a great disappointment to those who had hoped that a man of our race might have been selected as an appropriate representative.—N. Y. Age. Two of our four men remaining in the disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., in connection with the Tex riot, wreed, last week Tuesday, on parole. They are Wm. L. Dugan and Sherman V.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1927 Every four years, just before the Presidential election, we are promised "an exhaustive investigation of the disfranchisement practices in southern states" which is just as regularly forgotten immediately after the election. --- John S. Williams (white), owner of the Georgia slave farm, served four weeks in prison, and Clyde Manning, his "Negro" overseer, six years for peonage and other crimes. The latter was forced "at the point of a gun" to commit crimes whole-sale. Therefore, should not have been held responsible for what he did. But that is the way they do such things "down home," and sometimes in this section of the country, too. Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati, the Republican color-line nominee for governor, two years ago, is going to make an effort to "come back," it seems. We do not believe the Republicans of this state would be foolish enough to re-nominate him in the face of the strenuous opposition of the Afro-American voters of Ohio which brought about not only his defeat but also that of the Republican color-line candidate (Mills) for lieutenant governor. --- MORE 'BRITISH PROPAGANDA.' A distinguished Ohioan, who resigned his position as an associate justice of the U. S. Supreme Court went to England, several years ago, and returned an aggressive supporter of The League of Nations, better named by Editor George Harvey "The League of Notions," and by others styled "The Plague of Nations." This is the thing that the skilled diplomats of England, France and Italy designed and fooled President Thomas Woodrow Wilson into accepting for a main purpose of getting control of this American government. And they would have succeeded, too, had it not been for the Republican control of the U. S. Senate during the Wilson administration. Soon after the distinguished jurist's return to this country, two more or less distinguished Ohioans in the persons of Ex-Gov. James M. Cox and Ex-Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, both Democrats, made European pilgrimages, also making more or less lengthy stops in England, en route to or from that country, and returned loud in their praise and support of what has proved ever since its organization "The Plague of Nations." This doubtless explains "Newty's" violent St. Louis attack on the mayor of Chicago whose activity in an effort to rid the schools of that city of books containing more or less objectionable British propaganda, he is resenting with his incorrect statement which Atty. Clarence Darrow of Chicago wiped out, Monday, with a single sentence. GREGG, A "DEMOCRAT"? While it is a fact that it was the influence of W. Burr Gongwer, local Democratic organization leader, that assisted in his election and prevented the final counting out of Councilman-Elect E. J. Gregg of the third district, it is also a fact that Dr. Gregg was elected almost entirely by Republican votes, those of our people. Therefore, it is a mistake that will surely make trouble for him, two years hence, to sanction his listing as a Democratic member of the Cleveland City Council, as indicated by the daily press. Dr. Gregg is an Independent-Republican and not a Democrat, who under some obligations to Maurice Maschke's associate-political boss, Mr. Gongwer, for what he undoubtedly did for him, last week, is under greater obligations to the Republican voters that elected him, and therefore should list himself as an Independent-Republican member of the City Council just as Clayborn George of the fourth district has done, according to the THE GEEVUM GIRLS local daily press. The objection to his listing as a Democrat is that it places Dr. Gregg right alongside of Councilman Tom Fleming in the Maschke-Gongwer Republican-Democratic organization which controls this city and county, the very thing the great majority of voters who supported him were seeking to defeat in supporting his candidacy. It will, too, make him just about as useless a member of the Cleveland City Council, to our people of this community, as it has Councilman Fleming. Councilman-Elect E. J. Gregg's only chance to so function in the council as to meet the expectations of the great mass of our people, who voted for him in the third district, is to keep out of the Maschke-Gongwer Republican-Democratic organization. Unless he does this, the chances are greatly in favor of his being a one-term councilman. Note: As we go to press, Dr. E. J. Gregg telephones that he will be listed as an independent Republican member of the city council. "BLOOD WILL TELL." President Thomas Woodrow Wilson's secretary of war was Atty. Newton D. Baker of this city, who when a young man was brought to Cleveland from his West Virginia home by Mayor Tom L. Johnson to fill a minor city position. Thruout all the years of his residence in Cleveland, including his four years as mayor of this city, Mr. Baker has been regarded by many of our people as friendly, aloof they have nothing concrete in the shape of proof to which they can point. This, too, in the face of the fact that they gave him the largest vote ever given any Democratic candidate for mayor of this city, up to that time. In the last ten days, the "southern" in Mr. Baker seems to have "broken out." It appears to have been hidden during all the years of his residence in this city. Recently, he made a speech in St. Louis in which he said "a flaming demagogue had organized the ignorance of Chicago in the form of 300 or 400,000 Colored people and captured the city." He had reference to Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson of that city. Atty. Clarence Darrow of Chicago who was in New York city, Monday, takes Mr. Baker to task by saying "there are no more than 200,000 Negroes in Chicago, and if all of them had refused to vote for Wm. Hale Thompson, he still would have elected mayor." That settles that! Mr. Darrow might also have said that mayor Thompson is not near the demagogue in his fight on British propaganda in this country, that some country are in their more or less questionable devotion to southernisms and asms, which includes damphool racial prejudice, of course. We thought it strange, a few weeks ago, when in an address to students of an educational institution in the East, this same Newton D. Baker said that George Washington was the greatest figure in American history. He is entirely too well read and educated a man of experience in public affairs to have forgotten for the time being or overlooked this country's greatest figure, mentally, physically and otherwise—Abraham Lincoln. A favorite expression in the South has been for many years that "Southern blood will tell."

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1927 PRIME SPORT NEWS TIGER FLOWERS TIGER FLOWERS DEAD. New York City, Nov. 16.—Theodore (Tiger) Flowers of Atlanta, the "Georgia Deacon," former world's middleweight boxing champion, died tonight after one of the most colorful fighting careers in the history of the modern sport. Death came both prayed and fought for a living, with the sadness that characterized his swift spectacular career as a champion. Flowers was operated on at Dr. Franick's private hospital here at 3 this afternoon. He died at 8 tonight. The purpose of the operation was the removal of a growth over the fighter's arm. Flowers received in one of his numerous ring battles. Flowers knocked out Leo Gates, the Mohawk Indian, in three rounds in his last fight—last Saturday night at the Olympia Club here, where he made his big time start. In his professional career he engaged in upwards of 120 battles, winning 115 and knockouts. Flowers is survived by his wife, a little six-year-old daughter, and two brothers. Tiger Flowers' Schedule. New York City.—Tiger Flowers, who was to have a return bout with Mickey Walker for the world's middleweight title, which was given to Mickey as the result of a rotten decision at Chicago, recently signed for three bouts. The first with Bing Conley at Boston, this week Tuesday; the second, was to have been last evening (Friday), with Tommy Lucas at Baltimore, and the third next week, with Jack Russell at Chicago. Wilberforce-Howard "Squabble." Washington, D. C.—The following is a local explanation of the trouble between the two football teams here, Nov. 5: At the end of the first half the score was 0- 0. Howard having a slight advantage, offensively and defensively. With the opening of the second half, Jack Coles replaced Payne at center and ran the team until he was injured and had to be removed. Payne again took the helm and directed his men until the final moments of play when "Tick" Smith, by pretty broken field running, broke defense. He was practically downed, but with renewed energy and vigor, came to his feet and made the most brilliant run of the game, placing the ball behind the line and giving the victory to Howard by a score of 6- 0. This play by "Tick" Smith, which was declared to be legal in every respect by the four officials, displeased the Wilberforce players. After the referee refused to call the bill, the coach of the Wilberforce team withdrew his men, and the game was awarded to Howard for forfeiture, score 1- 0. "Responsibility." Wilberforce, O. Nov. 7, 1927. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN? TO WHOH IT MAY CONCERN: I admit that it was not good sportsmanship to have the Wilberforce football team leave the field in protest of an official's decision at Howard University, Saturday, Nov. 5, yet, as chairman of the Athletic Council, Wilberforce University. I assume full responsibility for their actions, as there are times and cir- cumstances when even good sports manship ceases to be a virtue. Respectfully, ``` Siki Throws Zbysko; Ties With Steinike. Brooklyn, N. Y.—At the Grove Sporting club, Ridgewood, week before last, Reginald Siki, the long senegalese, African, wrestler, who just recently tossed Waldek Zbyski over the ropes, demonstrated that he is no "flash in the pan" by holding Hans Steinike, wrestler-boxer, of Germany, to a forty-five minute, Steinike weighed 204.5 pounds, the defensive at the outset, getting a headlock and applying pressure. For some time it appeared that the big German would be pinned in record time, but he finally squirmed away only to find the African grappler right after him again. An armlock brought the German down again, but this time he got a bodyhold and "Reggy" was in difficult straights for a short time. He wiggled away, though, and for the rest of the evening's best time of his life avoiding being tossed. It was the first time that Hans had had an opponent to keep him on the run during the entire match. The Hill-Shea Fight Johnny Hill, the classy little Fillipino fighter, lost to Eddie Shea, the Chicago Italian featherweight, in the eighth round of their scheduled 10-round bout. Tuesday evening, at Public hall, Referee Matt Brock declaring that the latter had won on a foul. In a previous contest in Chicago, Hill had won from Shea. At the end of the fifth round, Hill had flattened Shea's nose and large lips which were spouting blood. He looked very much as if he were thru. In the sixth round, Shea "broke out" and from then on punished Hill severely. In the eighth, came the latter "latter" ledge "foul" (Low) "blows" (Shin) him the contest. One of the preliminary bouts was staged by Arvin Spence and Hillillard Fann, "Negroes." The former won on a technical knock-out in the third round. Ricke "Ducks" Godfrey Brooklyn, N. Y.-Humbert J. Fugazy, Ebbets Field promoter, has received a telegram from Danny Dunn, of Cleveland, O., relative to a bout between Godfrey and Risko, which read thus: "Nothing doing on Godfrey." Fugazy was much annoyed because Risko was the third heavyweight of prominence to give George the bye, sign Heeney and Paolini Uzcudun, were the others. Heeney's manager voiced the general feeling, "Not Godfrey. He's too big and too good." According to Jimmy Dougherty, manager of Godfrey, a syndicate of Philadelphiaians pledged $750,000 to Tunney and will post the cash with Frank Weiner, chairman of the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission, at once or upon his acceptance of a challenge to meet George.

Would also like to know if the Cleveland Rail- way Co. is going to pay the doctor for taking care of those who get sick from riding in cold cars, Last week they changed the rout- ing of the Central ave, cars without notice to the public. I have not heard of their offering the 100 or more men and women who were late to their work the pay which they were docked. Nor have they sent a letter of apology through the newspapers to satisfy the claims of the manutfac- turers whose organizations were up- set on account of the tardy employ- ees. After all of the talk of the Cham- ber of Commerce about the city of Cleveland, the Cleveland railway of- ficials are not giving the public as good street car service, today, as they did five years ago and we are paying nearly twice as much carfare. Their bus service is a fizzle. It takes fifteen minutes longer to go from E. 79th St. to W. 117th St. on the bus than it does on the street car.

More than. 1,000 automobiles last year crashed into trains, stated M. O. Lorenz, director, bureau of statistics, of Interstate Commerce commission, when he addressed the sixteenth an- nual safety. congress. He said in part: Deaths at Crossings. “One of the reasons for concerning ourselves about the number of persons that dig each year in various classés of railway aceldents is that effort may be concentrated on the types of accidents that occasion especially large numbers of deaths, One may discover from casual reading of the Newspapers that there are frequent deaths at grade crossings; but It Is only after statistics have been com- piled that one can make the general Statement that of the 7,00 persons killed In: connection with the opera: tion of steam railways in 1926, 2388. or 33.7 per cent, were nontrespassers at grade crossings aid 2628, or 87.0 Der cent, were classified as trespassers on the right of way; so that, taking these two groups together we may say that 70.67 per cent of the railroad fatalities occur because peopte, other than passengers or employees on duty. are on your right of way at the wrong time. Many Dangerous Crossings. “There were, at the close of 1926, 27847 protected and 206,438 unpro- tected highway grade crossings with steam railroads. It seems hopeless to make them all fool proof, but doubt- less there are thousands of dangerous crossings which would be eliminated ‘or more adequately protected next year if the funds were available. Here is & magnificent enterprise which re- quires the co-operation of the rail- roads, the newspapers, the school teacher, the legislator, ‘the inventor, andy the rest of the. public. When we consider that in 1926 over 1,000 accl- dents, Involving 225 deaths and 1,586 injuries, occurred because automobiles were run into the side of a train, we ean appreciate the fact that educating Grivers to be careful is one of the most Important features of the accident problem.” Escaping Oil Reduces Efficiency of Brakes Tt ts important to prevent the es- cape of lubricant from the differen- tial housing, because it will accumu- late on the brakes and reduce thelr efficiency. While it is difficult to overeome leakage due to an exces- sive supply, {f reasonable precaution is taken In reassembling the axle, the housing may be made leak-proof. Leakage is usually caused by worn felt washers in the stuffing box which is Intended to form the lubricant seal. It is advisable, therefore, to replace the felt washers and other worn Darts of the lubricant seal when dif- ferential repairs are being made. ‘Owing to the importance of this feature the slightest.amount of wear evident will Justify replacement of the parts. ‘The shaft on which the parts bear should be smooth so that it will not wear the seal away and ‘cause the leak to appear again, ‘The above covers the principal trou- bles which may arise in the differen- tal; however, there are others which may also cause excessive wear in the gears and bearings. ‘The most seri- ‘ous of these is a sprung axle housing, which has a tendency to cramp the bearings and distort the gears, caus- ing rapid wear, Engine Stops Suddenly When the engine stops suddenly with no preliminary conghing and spitting, the trouble is with the igni- tion. A wire may be short clreulted, & connection loose; the magneto may fail to trip properly, or the spark plug short circuit as soon as it gets hot. if the engine first coughs and spits and then stops, the trouble is in the fuel line, the valves, or the Iubrication.

It would be con- trary, to sound policy for the man- agement to earn speculative or large profits for distribution as ‘melons’ or etxra dividends, On the other hand, payments to stock- holders limited to reasonable regu- lar dividends, with the right to make further investments on favorable terms, are to the interest both of the telephone users and the stockholders. “The margin of safety in earn- ings is only a small percentage of the rate charged for service, but that we may carry out our ideals and aims ft is essential that this margin be kept adequate. Cut- ting it too close can only result in the long run in deterioration of service while the temporary finan- cial benefit to the telephone user would be practically negligible. “Our policy and purpose are the same as yours—the most telephone service and the best, at the least: cost to the public. Without over- looking the fact that we lack the big money incentive for maximum profits and the drive for improve- ‘ments that results from active and strong competition, we believe that the telephone company Is or- ganized to make continuous and ‘effective progress.” OUR CARNEGIE HERO MEDALS: Pittsburg, Pa—The following ar¢ our representatives among those in- eluded’ in the recent Carnegie hero awards: Edward A.

OUR OHIO CIVIp 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 edi- tor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: ‘The General Code of Ohio: See. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eat- ing house, barber-shop, public con- veyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facili- ties or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever vidlates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the per- son aggrieved thereby to be recov- ered in any court of competent jur- isdiction In the county where such offense was committed. ‘This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Suprete court.

Misled by the foolishly manufac- tured outery for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Ak- ron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that’ the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending.
