Interesting Correspondence on Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson and Our People of Chicago—Baker Wrong as Darrow Proved! Cleveland, Nov. 17, '27. Hon. Newton D. Baker, Union Trust Building, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Mr. Baker:—The Cleveland Plain Dealer of Nov. 12 carried that an excerpt from your address of St. Louis. Knowing your attitude toward my group—as well as well as I do from personal contact—your love of fair play toward every one and your sense of justice to all nationalities, I am calling your attention to the first paragraph which reads as follows: "In Chicago a flaming demagog organized the ignorance of that city, in the form of 300,000 or 400,000 Negroes and took over the municipal government. In taking exceptions to this glaring misstatement and injustice to my group, I am seeking to set you right. 1st. Permit me to inform you that there is no city in the United States with a population of 300,000 or 400,000 Negroes. The U. S. Census of 1920 gave Chicago 109,481, and at this writing the number does not exceed 200,000. 2nd. If you had said, and I take it for granted, seeing no correction, that you were quoted right—that a flaming demagog in Chicago had organized the intelligence of that act to the form of 200,000 Negroes you would be nearer an accurate statement The Negroes of Chicago divided their vote four years ago, and materially assisted in electing Dever, a Democrat, mayor. They are now organized under the leadership of Bishop A. J. Carey, Messrs. Wright, Jackson, DePriest, et al, and have returned to their first love, the Republican party, hereosse. The Democratic party of Thameson is mayor, Chicago can rightfully boast of some of the most cultured and intelligent Negroes of this country. Dr. Dan H. Williams is one of the world's most eminent and noted surgeons, an authority; to say nothing of nearly a hundred more doctors, many of ranking high in the medical world. Hon. Edw. H. Morris, an outstanding luminary in the legal profession and scores of others including Mollik Williams and Wilson, Phi Beta Kappa, the most prestigious Protestant church in the world, the Olivet Baptist church with a membership of over 10,000 Negroes, their own Community Home, free employment bureau and fifty-three auxiliaries with a total budget of $50,000; my own, the A.

I este these individual cases and incidents for your enlightenment and to impress you with the unfairness and injustice that your remarks have done my group, also to substantiate my claim, you would have been more accurate had you said that a flaming demagogu organized the intelligent Negroes of Chicago—instead of the "ignorant Negroes of Chicago—and took over the Municipal Government." With best wishes for continued success and much regard, I am, Mr. Baker's Reply. Cleveland, Nov. 18, '27. Mr. George A. Myers, Hollenlund Hotel Barber Shop, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear George: I have your letter of Nov. 17. The worst thing of all newspaper reports about public addresses is that they never correctly carry the name of the person or of their responsibility sold by persons who live in Chicago that Mayor Thompson did make a special appeal to the Negro section of that city and particularly to the latest importations drawn to that city by labor demands from the southern plantations. The blame for what happened is not to be placed at the door of these poor colored people who have not been afforded any educational opportunities and have suddenly been thrust into the complex moulestrom of city politics and responsibilities or duties, but rather at the door of the graceless demagogue who makes an unworthy use of their handicapped condition. That there are intelligent and public spirited Negroes in Chicago goes without saying, but that since the 1920 census there has been an enormous addition to the colored population of Chicago of people imported there to occupy the lowest class of labor jobs, and that they have been huddled and segregated into a particular quarter and preyed upon by politicians is there is not likely to be any controversy between you and me about the situation of the colored people in this country. November 21, 1927. Hon. Newton D. Baker, Union Trust Building, City. Thank you for your favor of the 18th, and like Very truly yours. NEWTON D. BAKER. NOVEMBER 26, RY. "EQUAL SERVICE" FRAUD Exposed by Ex-Soldier—His Letters to Coolidge And Senators Get Perfunctory Replies—Congressman Martin M. Madden Calls Discrimination "Nefarious Practice." New York City—The frauds practised by railways running through southern territory, which fall to provide the "equal accommodation" called for under the "jim-crow" system there, though charging our people equal rates with whites, are sharply exposed in a series of letters sent to the N. A. A. C. P. by Arthur H. Thomas, who fought for his country in France, to make the world safe for him at a time. Mr. Thomas wrote President Coolidge a letter, calling his attention to these frauds and giving his own experience, as follows: "I am an ex-solder. I served in the A. E. F. One of my comrades who died in action 'Over There' left a young sister in America to enjoy the blessings of a victorious country and its protection. Not long ago, accompanied by this sister and a number of his friends Limited, a train which runs from Chicago to Jacksonville, Florida, for Macon, Georgia. We took seats in one of the day coaches. On reaching Evansville, Indiana, the ladies and myself were ordered to take seats in the smoker. The fumes of smoke had not cleared the car; some of the cuspidors had not been emptied, and their odor combined with the smoke, making it very unpleasant for the ladies. I wore the cuspidors and placed them in the aisle. When the conductor came through, I asked him if he would kindly have them taken from the coach. He replied he would. A few minutes later the porter entered the coach and attempted to place the cuspidors below the ladies' seats. I arose and protested. I requested that I be freed. I felt the perils of war. So much effect did my words have in the improvement of that coach, that I believe if the President of the United States will rise and protest against such conditions there soon will be no occasion for any citizen to annoy him with a letter like this. As an ex-solder and an American, I respectfully suggest, Mr. President, I will influence to cause such a law to be passed as will prohibit railroad companies from the practise of collecting first-class passenger fares for unclassified passenger service." The ex-soldier's letter received no direct reply from the President, but was referred to the Interstate Commerce Commission, whose secretary, G. B. McGinty, informed him: "The matter of which you complain, namely, the exaction of first-class passenger fares from you and certain ladies who accompanied you, for transportation in a smoking car, to an inn in annsville, Indiana, is a matter which does not constitute a violation of any provision of the Interstate Commerce Act, for the reason that the Act does not require carriers to furnish transportation which is other than first-class; and your statement to the effect that the service was not first-class, although a matter we deem it proper to call to the attention of the authorities of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, relates to a subject over which the Congress of the United States has not as yet seen fit to exercise jurisdiction. In the past, competition beetles and their desire to secure the attorney for the public have been deemed sufficient to induce them to render good service, and that they have generally done so is evidenced by the fact that complaints like the one contained in your communication are seldom made." you I beg to say “There is not likely to be any controversy between you and me about the situation of the colored people in this country.” As a friend I sought to set you aright, and will admit that your Chicago friend was right when he informed you that Thompson made a special appeal to the fact remains that this same vote elected Dever as Mayor four years ago, and that Dever (Dem.) and his supporters (your informer probably being one) maligned, abused and caricatured these very Negroes who had helped to elect him four years ago. It was simply a case of theumn Thompson, (who has always been friendly) and the Republican party. If at any time you may need or desire any statistics upon the Negro, I will be only to glad to furnish or secure them for you, as I did of the Negroes’ participation in the Battle of Lake Erie.

Senator and Leading Prohibition Advocate, From "The Old Dominion" Who "Lets the Cat Out of the Bag"—Tells Why the 14th and 15th Amendments Are Not Enforced Senator Edge Wants Republican Party Platform Endorsement. WASHINGTON, D. C.—U. S. Senator Wm. E. Borah, dry, and U. S. Senator Walter E. Edge, wet, both Republicans, are agreed on one thing. Both believe if the Republican Party platform contains a pledge to enforce the 18th amendment a similar pledge should be inserted regarding the 14th and 15th amendments. Edge, commenting on Borah's suggestion that the 18th amendment pledge should be made part of the platform, said the other two amendments signed in the 14th and 15th amendments. "Borah (jokingly) replied, 'I am sure that there is not a supporter of the 18th amendment, north or south, but will be pleased to cooperate with you in including the 14th and 15th amendments.'" The 14th amendment provides that no state shall make a law which would abridge the privileges of citizens, and the 15th provides that the right to vote shall not be denied on account of "race, color or previous condition of servitude." Carter Glass Enters. Senator Carter Glass (Dom), Virginia, has written a statement given out here in which he characterized as "simply stupid" the attempt to draw an analogy between the attitude of the South on Negro suffrage and "the position of persons intent upon nullifying the SENATOR BINGHAM WRITES! The leading editorial this week is written for us by Senator Hiram W. Bingham (Rep.) of Connecticut whose address delivered at a dinner in his honor in Hawaii was reported as follows in a Honolulu newspaper: "At the beginning of the day, while identification over the insistence of the Nordic toward those whom he looks upon as his inferiors, Senator Bingham made the statement: 'I am, I am, the only American representative of government who has ever refused to enter the doors of the Army and Navy Club in Manila. Senator Bingham went on to say that during his recent visit to the Philippine capital he was invited to be a guest of honor at a banquet at the Army and Navy Club. He inquired if some of the prominent Filipinos, such as Sergio Osmeña, president of the Philippine Senate, and Manuel Quezon, speaker of the house, were also to be present. 'Certainly not,' was the indignant reply, and it was implied to the senator that no Filipinos are permitted to enter the sacred portals of the Army and Navy Club. 'Then I am sorry, gentlemen,' replied Senator Bingham, "but I shall not be able to accept your invitation. 'I want to tell you right now,' said Senator Bingham, "that if a half dozen of the prominent white people of Manila were to invite a tea of the Filipinos to be their guests at a tea, the agitation for Philippine independence would die right then and there." Senator Bingham also made the statement that three commanding generals of the U. S. army forces in the Philippines had refused to recognize or call on Lt.-Gov.-Gen. Gilmore (now acting Governor since the death of Gen. Wood.) declared the senator and "I'm going to find out why." The Connecticut senator was at white heat in his denunciation both of white missionaries and the white business men. British as well as American, who go to the Orient with a feeling of superiority over the native inhabitants and only for the purpose of enriching themselves by any methods available. He spoke contemptuously of the white men who that everything got hold of will stick." To illustrate the point he was making of the snobbery of the white man in his contacts with the Oriental, Senator Bingham told of calling upon a wealthy and highly respected Chinese in Shanghai, a graduate of Yale University whom he had known for years before and whose wife was a graduate of one of the finest girl schools in America. Their two sons were also Yale graduates and their two daughters had been educated in the United States. Chinese desired to cash a check for some $1800 to meet his payroll for the week, and Bingham accompanied him to the Bank of the International Banking Corporation. The Chinese went to the paying teller's window IN UNION IS STRONG THE COPY FIVE CENTS CASM!

Declaring that the 15th amendment was adopted "at the point of a bayonet under a species of military terrorism," the Virginia senator asserted it "constituted an attempt to destroy white civilization in nearly one-third of the nation." On the other hand, Glass said, the 18th amendment was ratified by 46 states after "years of discussion." "While Congress enacted the Volstead act to provide for enforcement of the provisions of the 18th amendment, there is no similar enforcement statute in the case of the 15th," Glass said. Editorial Attacks Stand. Emotional Attacks State "Not only is there no federal state providing for the enforcement of the amendment, but there is no constitutional or statutory law in the code of a single southern state that violates the terms of the 15th amendment." Glass declared. His statement was in reply to a query addressed to him by W. H. Slayton of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, who had directed the senator's attention to a newspaper editorial. It charged Glass with inconsistency in insisting the senator's internal agents to Kentucky to supervise the state election there and his approval of sending federal agents into various states to enforce prohibition laws. and presented the check to the white cashier for payment. "What the hell do you mean coming in here?" snarled the gentlemanly Nordic. "Get the hell out of here, you damned Chinaman and go down to the other end of the building with the rest of the Chinamen." The Chinese made no reply but quickly Bingham told of visiting the parks of the city—parks on Chinese soil in a city where Chinese pay 60 per cent of the taxes. And in those parks, he said, are signs reading, "No Chinaman or dogs allowed." Turning then from the Orient to Hawaii, where he was born and reared and whose people are his own people, Senator Bingham set the warning, "there's beginning to be too much of that kind of thing here." POSTSCRIPT With Senator Bingham's views, the AFRO-AMERICAN stands in complete accord. We only remind him that the same "arrogant snobbery, studied discountery and assumption of Nordic superiority" are to be found in the United States, in his home state of Connecticut and the capital at Washington. We are happy to note his reaction to race relations in China, and invite him to note that blacks as well as browns and yellows are victims of it.—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1927. The least that now can be done is an official investigation into the cause of Tiger Flowers' death as the result of a minor operation by a specialist in a N. Y. sanitarium. Dr. E. A. Bailey informs us that Ex-Secretary of War Newton D. Baker's name headed the list of those who objected to his living in his new home in Shaker Heights, about a year ago. Newspapers and individuals in this country with an English bias may ridicule Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson's charge that American histories contain more or less special English or British propaganda, placed there for obvious reasons and purposes, but there is more truth than poetry in the charge, just the same. CAR SERVICE, SOUTH. The astonishing information, published elsewhere in this paper, in a letter from the secretary of the interstate commerce commission, to the effect that the U. S. Congress has not enacted legislation compelling "jim-crow" railroads in the South to furnish first-class transportation to holders of first-class tickets, ought to move all of our national organizations to immediate action which will result in the enactment of such legislation, just as soon as possible. We must see to it that that august body "sees fit to exercise jurisdiction," just as soon as possible. "Competition between carriers" fails, it seems, "to induce them to render good service." Therefore, the need of prompt action upon the part of our national organizations. Congressman Martin B. Madden of Chicago has already promised to aggressively interest himself in the matter. TAFT CONSISTENT! Judge Wm. Howard Taft and his wife own a hotel in Cincinnati, it is said, that for years has drawn numerous color-lines. President Wm. Howard Taft put more southern Democratic ex-rebels on the bench of the U. S. Supreme Court than any other Republican (or Democratic) chief executive of this country since the War of the Rebellion, and it was under his administration that federal segregation of our employees was born. Now comes this same Wm. Howard Taft, chief justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, running true to form, and hands down, Monday, a decision in the Mississippi-Chinese public-school student case which affirms the old Dred Scott-Slave case "state rights" decision of the South and makes no end of trouble for all time not only for the brown, yellow and black people of the South but also in some states in the North—states that are without civil rights laws like our Ohio law (published elsewhere in this paper). How different this Wm. Howard Taft from his most illustrious father, the great abolitionist and jurist, Alphonso Taft, an Ohio character in American history that, like Abraham Lincoln, Charles Summer, Joseph Benson Foraker and Albion W. Tourgee, will never die or be forgotten. Lord, have mercy! "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, altho 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 THC GEEVUM GIRLS 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 been 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 people in this section of the country are in their more or less questionable devotion to southernisms and asms, which includes dhamphool 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." It sure has told, in the last few weeks, in the case of our own "Newty" Baker, a native of the writer's birth-state, we regret to say, IS BARRY TO GO? For several weeks, there have been rumors of the forced resignation of Edwin D. Barry as director of public safety. Now, the local daily newspapers have begun the publication of these rumors, intimating that gamblers of the city are forcing the Republican - Democratic - organization-combine, which controls the city, or drop Barry, on or about Jan. 1, '28 from City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins cabinet. While we have criticised Director Barry freely at times, we have always felt, because of a quarter of a century's acquaintance with him, that it was the power or control, referred to, which made it impossible for him to do the things necessary to clean up "the roaring third" (police) precinct and the territory east of it to E. 105th St. In plain words, the Director's hands have been tied to a greater or less extent, and because of a little independent action upon his part, it seems that he is to be deposed, the first of the year. The gamblers, of course, object strenuously to what little the Director has done to hold them in check and, if Directory Barry is dropped from Hopkins' cabinet, it will be positive proof that the power referred to above is in hearty sympathy with them because, and it is no secret either, it has not always endorsed the Director's conservative activity against gamblers and the local underworld. If he were let alone and permitted to function fully, as we know Ed. Barry can and would if he could, there would be no "roaring third", and criminal and other sad conditions in this community would be very much better than they are now. And we hold no brief for Director Barry. BAKER, A DEMAGOG! "The blame for what happened," having reference to the recent triumphant election of Wm. Hale Thompson as mayor of Chicago, is the way ex-Secretary of War Newton D. Baker of this city puts it. No one except a Democrat with an English bias would give vent to such an expression. Furthermore, we do not like Mr. Baker's evident desire to put the "poor colored people of Chicago" into his imaginary "blame," making them the "goat," because it gives evidence of not only an English but also a prejudiced southern bias. There is no other way to take the first half of the middle paragraph of his letter to Mr. Myers, published elsewhere in this paper. Why shouldn't Mayor Thompson "make a special appeal to the Negro section" of Chicago, even to the "latest importations drawn to that city by labo THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1927. demands from the southern plantations?" Mr. Thompson was a candidate, seeking votes, and appealed to the Negroes of Chicago, just as Newton D. Baker appealed to the Negroes of Cleveland when a candidate for mayor of this city, years ago. Mr. Thompson is no more of a "graceless demagog" than was Mayor Newton D. Baker, for it was the Negro vote of this city that insured his election at that time. Without it, he would have gone down to defeat. There was no more "unworthy use of their handicapped condition" in Chicago when Thompson was elected mayor some months ago, than there was in Cleveland, years ago, when Baker was elected mayor of this city. This last-named gentleman has permitted his English bias, southern birth and training to "run away with him" and as a result is placing himself in the position of "graceless demagog." It is his beloved South that robbed the latest importations from the southern plantations of educational opportunities" and so misstretched them as to force them to leave that section of the country and be "thrust into the complicated malestrom of city politics with no preparation for its responsibilities or duties." "Huddled and segregated into a particular quarter" in Chicago and "occupying the lowest class of labor jobs" is so much better than quarters they occupied and jobs they held, in the South, that the Negroes of Chicago, who landed there "since the 1920 census," could not be induced to return to "the southern plantations." "CAT OUT OF BAG," AT LAST. We have often wondered, during the past quarter of a century, why it was so hard to get Republican majorities of the U. S. Congress to enact any legislation looking to an enforcement of the provisions of the 14th and 15th amendments to the U. S. constitution. The disinclination to do this has grown greatly, too, in the last ten or fifteen years, until now U. S. Senator W. E. Borah of Idaho (Rep.), who, as is well-known, has never been any too friendly toward our people, really makes light of Senator W. E. Edge's suggestion that a 14th and 15th amendment pledge should be included in the next Republican party platform if the 18th amendment is to be endorsed in that more or less important document. Senator Borah said: "Fine! I am sure that there is not a supporter of the 18th amendment, North or South, but will be pleased to co-operate with you in including the 14th and 15th amendments." Whereupon Senator Carter Glass (Dem.) of Virginia, one of the strong supporters of the 18th amendment in the South, promptly entered his objection to such pledge or endorsement, saying it was "simply stupid to attempt to draw an analogy between the attitude of the South on 'Negro' suffrage and the position of persons intent upon nullifying the 18th amendment; that congress enacted the Volstead act to provide for enforcement of the provisions of the 18th amendment and there is no similar enforcement statute in the case of the 15th," etc. Right there is where the senator from Virginia "let the cat out of the bag" and explains in part the disinclination of Republican majorities in Congress, for the last twenty-five years, at least, to do their clear duty in the matter. Glass' statement that "there is no constitutional or statutory law in the code of a single southern state that violates the terms of the 15th amendment" may be technically correct but is wrong from a practical viewpoint, as the many disfranchise laws in that section of the country mutually attest. The senator is equally inconsistent in his objection to the government's sending federal agents into Kentucky to supervise state elections and his approval of sending agents into various states to enforce prohibition laws. But this is characteristic of southern supporters of prohibition. Senator Glass' additional statement that "the 15th amendment was adopted at the point of a bayonet under a species of military terrorism" and that "it constituted an attempt to destroy white civilization in nearly one-third of the nation," is the same old: "bunk" that the "uncivilized" of the South have been indulging in ever since the close of the War of the Rebellion. A fine "white civilization" (in the South) that encourages mob violence or lynch-murder, which includes barbary burning-at-the-stake, disfranchisement and peonage in this day and time, all direct and brazen violation of the fundamental law of the land. PRIME SPORT NEWS Tunney Grieved by Tiger's Death New York City—Gene Tunney, heavyweight champion of the world, feelt keenly the death of Tiger Flowers, former middleweight champion, who died last week as a result of an operation. Tunney sent a telegram of condolence to Flowers' wife and 6-year-old child and added he would be present at the funeral. This Does Not "Sound" Like Wills. New York City—Harry Wills, heavyweight pugilist, expects to start a ring comeback in about a month. Low blood pressure was responsible for his defeat in his last bout with Paulino. Wills is said to have said, Tuesday. "I'm just going to fight the boys for money," he is alleged to have asserted, "and I might fight for the heavyweight championship." Hubbard's Latest Record Denied. Cincinnati, O.—Because the takeoff for his leap was an inch higher than the landing pit. De Hart Hubbard, famous athlete, is deprived of a new world's broad jump record. Hubbard, a resident of this city, jumped 26 feet, $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches in a meet here, Sept. 17, but the Amateur Athletic Union, Monday, rejected the record. The former University of Michigan star already holds the world's mark of 25 feet, $10\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Faulty timing, at the same meet, also holds the world's record equaling performance by Hubbard of 9-3-5 seconds for the 100-yard dash. Charley Paddock holds an American record of 9-5-10 seconds for the century, but the official world's record is still 9-3-5 seconds, because tenth-second timing is not internationally recognized. Last Rites for Tiger. Atlanta, Ga. "No no' Tiger, no mo' Tiger," screamed a sobbing woman's voice and 7,000 people lapsed into silence to hear last honors paid to departed Theodore Flowers, former middleweight champion of the world. For more than an hour, that one burst of emotion and a series of formations of stiffness at Atlanta's Municipal Auditorium. As the casket was hurned in, preceded by a vested choir and Tiger's lodge brethren in full regalia, all moving even slower than the death march from the vast organ, the voice of Flowers' pastor chanted a benediction. The ceremonies were marked by a quiet formality until one of Tiger's white friends had to Blake, snorting editor of an Atlanta paper, delivering a brief but telling address. The funeral address was delivered by Rev. G. L. Work, pastor of Butler Street Methodist church, of which Tiger was a trustee and deacon. Tiger's Body Back Home. Tiger's Body Back Home. Atlanta, Ga.-Tiger Flowers came back to a crene-hung Decatur St., last week Friday night, to receive the adulation in death from a genuinely sorrowing populace that during his colorful career honored him as hero. He "gave the city his heart he had ventured forth a few years ago, to multiflame and fortune the body was borne to a funeral home that became at once a mecca for an endless line of rousing admirers of both races. Several hundred stood in the depot when the body arrived from New York state, where the "fighting deacon" took the final count, last week Wednesday, after a minor operation. Within a silver-colored copper casket banked high with floral tributes from the great and near great of fistiania, the body was shielded from the gaze of crowds as it lay alone in a dimly-lit room. The little undertaking shop was longer than the glass door through the glass door at the several thousand dollar box that held the body of their idol. For twelve hours Sunday the body laid in state at Flowers' magnificent home here, before the funeral.

Supreme Court Rules State May Segregate Colored School Pupils—Includes Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos and Others. Washington, D. C.—Race segregation of children in public schools was sustained, Monday, by the supreme court. The ruling was on a case from Mississippi, where an attempt was made to compel a mother of an American Martha Lum to charter of Chinese descent, to attend the Rosedale Consolidated High school in Bolivar County, provided exclusively for white children. Declaring that "the right and power of the state to regulate the method of providing for the education of its youth at public expense is clear," Chief Justice Wm. Howard Taft, in delivering the opinion, said it was "within the constitutional power of the State Legislature to settle without intervention of the federal courts under the federal constitution," he will require a Chinese citizen of the United States to send his children to public schools provided for the colored races. Ohio with the Hon. Harry C. Smith's civil rights law on its statutes, and other northern states with similar laws are safe from such an experience as the Chinese-American pupils of the state of Mississippi are invited to attend. This indeed is a wonderful country—"the land of the free and the home of the brave!" Under this "Taft" U. S. Supreme Court decision, whenever a state so desires, it can, by legislative act, compel the children of Dutch-Americans, German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, Hungarian-Americans, hypogenated Americans, as well as "colored races," to attend separate schools (other than the regular public-schools). Diet and Youth Her prolonged youthful appearance is attributed to her diet, by a French dancer. She credits her figure to frog legs, her hair to carrot juice, and her complexion to oranges. She seems to have discovered the secret of how to ward off gray hair and wrinkles. "For one thing," she explains the matter, "I eat 12 oranges a day." ```markdown ``` The tremendous demand for PORTO makes it easy to build a profitable business. 1927 Greetings Good Health Children are the parents of tomorrow.

MAKING AN ESTIMATE OF CROP ACREAGE Roadward Roadward "Cropmeters," machines designed to help the Department of Agriculture crop reporting service make prompt and accurate estimates of the acreage devoted to different crops, are now being used by the department in various sections of the country. The "cropmeters" are installed in automobiles in the same manner as a speedometer. In passing wheat, for instance, the operator presses the "wheat" button and the machine clicks off the size of the field. This photograph shows how the "cropmeter" is operated from the driver's seat. OWNERS CARELSS ABOUT CAR LOOKS Were. In the days of the horse and carriage every owner was proud of his equipment. He would not think of riding down the street or through the park unless his horse was groomed so that the animal's coat looked like silk and the harness trimming glistened in the sun. His carriage was immaculate. Pride in Equipment Lacking. Now that the automobile has in a large measure displaced the horse there does not seem to be the same pride in equipment that formerly existed. Perhaps it is because in the hustle and bustle of the world today, people have not time for such things or it may be that they have grown a bit careless. Not all are careless about how their automobile looks for there still remain a number who take the same keen pride in owning an automobile that has been well groomed as they do in their own personal appearance. The vast majority, however, are content so long as the car runs. Little by little this condition is changing and it will come about more rapidly when the general automobile public are educated to the fact that dust, grime and grease, either on the body or running gear of their machine, is an enemy to efficiency of operation. The present-day automobile gathers from out the air a film composed of oil and dirt which clings to the paint or lacquer finish and cannot be removed except with a cleanser. Injures the Finish. It is impervious to water itself, though a washing will soften it up and make its removal much easier. In time this scum attacks the finish and eventually will require that the car be sent to the paint shop. On the running gear and chassis it works this scum into the moving parts and dirt being an abrasive it is only a question of time until looseness in steering and spring shackles, as well as brake rods, brings to the owner's attention the fact that his car is wearing out faster than it should. Like other things regarding the care of an automobile, a system has been devised and patented whereby an automobile can now be thoroughly washed underneath as well as on the body, top and bood while the owner waits. The total operation takes about fifteen minutes. Upper Hose Connection Needs Replacing Green Motorists who have wondered why it is that the upper water hose connection needs replacing more often than the lower one only have to know their engine a little better in order to understand the reason. Circulation of water is from the pump up through the water jackets to the top of the radiator, or up through the water jackets in the same direction in the case of thermo-syphon cooling, in which a pump is not utilized. This means that the hotter water always is rising and that the water is hottest when it is passing through the top water hose to the radiator. This heat has a disintegrating effect on the rubber hose connection. The connections at the pump receive cooler water from the radiator and generally last longer. Brake Test Devised Are your four-wheel brakes adjusted equally? Here is a simple way to tell: Apply the brakes both gently and vigorously about a dozen times, then stop the car and feel each brake band to see whether they seem equally hot. Allowance should be made for greater heat at the rear bands, because in some cars these brakes operate before the front ones come into action. This test may keep the bands on one side of the car from burning out prematurely. Scientists Striving to Find New Fuel for Auto Acting on the oft-repeated statement that the American gasoline supply would be seriously depleted with ir from 10 to 25 years if consumption continues at the present rate, a series of experiments are being carried on by the Purdue university engineering experiment station regarding the carburation of heavier fuels These experiments are being conducted with kerosene and other fuels and the data are being carefully filed for future reference. Results of the experiments have been published in a bulletin issued by the engineering experiment station. This publication presents data on the carburetion of kerosene and provides additional information concerning the effect of fuel volatility on the carburetion problem. Its purpose also is to show how an engine operating on kerosene reacts to variations in the strength and temperature of the mixture, to point out the optimum temperature for satisfactory performance and to specify the correct mixture ratios for economy and power. The bulletin has been noted with interest by automotive men generally and also by fuel companies of the country, which are vitally interested in this work.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1927. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The Coolidge Administration "Off- Lake Like the Party," as Carr wrote, likened the party, as (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to The Gazette). Jersey City, N. J.—President Coolidge does not "choose to run." His administration has not manifested any objections to the lawyer, 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 [Name] 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 combined voting strength of Negroes the country over wherever they can vote. Negro voters respond to 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. Eight pivotal states can be swayed by our vote. This may be why we call it "right to vote." 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.

If you happen to be skeptical about the youthfulness of black, the girlish costume in the picture is sure to dispel all doubts on the subject. This "ducky" little ensemble so pretty posed by Laura La Plante of screen fame, is black from crown to toe, and that means pumps of black velvet, hat of black felt playing accompaniment to an adorable short-jacket suit of black kitten's-ear broadcloth. Of course every young girl will be wanting a pair of black velvet pumps just like Miss La Plante is wearing, for black velvet footwear is one of the very chic items for autumn. As to this cunning two-piece dress, for one thing it bespeaks the continued favor of scallops as trimming. And have you noticed the raised waist-line accented the more because of the "stucked in" blouse? Slendered youth is rejoicing at the trend toward higher VELVET CONTRIBUT TO THE A BEOLD velvet as the fabric triumphant in the world of fashion! Velvet is solving most of the dress problems for every hour of the day as well as for evening wear. That velvet holds sway throughout all fashionlondon, emphasizes the fact that the mode is inaugurating an era of surpassing elegance. An ensemble of chestnut brown velvet with a bronze-and-gold metal brocade blouse, such as is here pictured, is a convincing argument in favor of the luxuriousness which fashion prescribes. Perhaps, notwithstanding its de luxe appearance, no costume registers a more convincing economy than does the velvet ensemble which includes a full-length coat which may be used as a separate wrap. Such a wearable outfit is a "bargain" at any price. The copy of The ce wh might waistlines, while "stylish stouts" are boping against hope that Madame Mode will "have a heart" when it comes to introducing this new sif-honette. As to the feminized soft lines which fashion so persistently demands this season, this little suit achieves just that, ir direct contrast to the mannish tailored jacket and skirt of yesteryear. It is a question as to which most successfully courts favor with the young girl for her two-piece suit—velvet or suede finish cloth. Both materials are very popular. Some of the "best dressers" in the younger set are choosing the new "velvet" kitten's ear broadcloth, just to be "different" from the majority. Concerning the nobby epon jacket, it is as modish as ever, and more so for youth. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1927, Western Newpaper Union.) TES ELEGANCE AUTUMN ENSEMBLE topcoat of velvet extending to the hemline of the velvet skirt over which it is posed is the "last word" from Paris. Some women of a very economical turn of mind buy a handsome black velvet coat, often fur collared and cuffed. This they "match up" with a few yards of velvet for the making of the skirt. With a metal cloth blouse, which is easily made by one's home dressmaker an ensemble is acquired at a minimum outlay. Not only is the costume of black velvet highlighted by the mode, for colors are equally as prominent. Dark greens, wine shades and navy velvet ensembles present a gorgeous spectacle of lovely color. Special attention is concentrating upon beige and upon brown velvets, rendered exquisite with trimmings of blended furs. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. ( @ 1927.

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 been 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 an injury or otherwise certainly 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. (93 v. 12 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. 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, such sum shall be distributed among 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 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter shall be communicated within two years from the date of such action, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault.

Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal person killed or seriously injured by the mob from among the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commute from such county to another county to fight from such county for askeffeele the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence in the case of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) 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.** ed. representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. est member of mob. est another county. Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, cafe house, barber-shop, public concession stand, or other place of public accommodation, and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days 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 of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme Court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grunt'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 law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this city I am pleased to announce a separate cover, the Ohio Law porter 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. What Beacon-Journal had known what the Forman case was known there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. 'HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled, There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys; Tis human nature's broadest foultest blot. —Cowper. ading It a Copy of It.
