Appreciates "The Old Reliable" GA ZETTE and its 'Assistance— God Saved us' How the Churches Have Helped— Still Hopeful Columbus, O., Mar. 26, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith, M.D. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. M. Dear Sir: I cannot, orem, from writing with I, acquaintance, appreciation and best regards after receiving and reading a copy of The Gazette, printed on Mar. 17th. It contained a copy of a letter that I wrote you explaining my condition and welfare. I was very highly pleased to read it. I believe The Gazette has been and will be valuable in the way of securing justice from wrongdoing. I will ten minutes to convince you of my innocence just as in the case of my attorneys, the penitentiary chaplain and about a half dozen deputies of the Cuyahoga jail, and dozens of others I talked with, excluding the police officers of Cleveland. If my attorneys were not convinced of my innocence, I would five or six hundred dollars of their own money trying to secure justice for me. They were originally appointed by the Cuyahoga county courts to defend me. My foundation is God. He moved just in time. If it had not been for the prayers that were so constantly offered by me, my mother, relatives and different friends of me, south, and in Cleveland, especially the S. D. A. church, Elder Dawson, pastor, I would not be alive today. Their volunteer mission-workers appointed a minister (Rev. A. N. Durant) of Columbus to visit me with prayers and to read passages of the scripture. Those ladies have my prayerful grief because it is the God that I.

Against "The Assiminity of Mediocre Whites" Who Sought to Use Public Property—Our High Schools Withdraw. Washington, D. C.—Declaring that the Columbia Heights Citizens' Association was forming a conspiracy against contractural rights and civil liberties, Prof. Neval H. Thomas of Dunbar High school has written a letter of protest against this body meeting in a public school building. Mr. Thomas' letter also asked the superintendent of public schools (Ballou) to bar the Evening Star oratorical contest because of its in- suiting discrimination. Calling attention to a copy of the association's printed organ which called upon its members to help bar our residents, Mr. Thomas called it a wicked reflection upon people far superior to them. "We cannot comprehend," he says "the assininity of mediocre whites thinking that Colored people seek proximity to them. We simply move in the houses we like, and refuse intercourse with such a group. We believe that all public property should be enjoyed by all the people, for civile discussion, but criminal conspiracies should be baned." Dunbar and Armstrong high schools withdrew from the oratorial contest when they were informed it was never intended for our contestants to compete against whites. POLICE CHIEF ARRESTED Indicted With Three Others of the Force for the death of Johannes Miami, Fla.—H. Leslie Quigg, chief of police, last week Friday night, was held without bail in the county stockade under charges of murder in the first degree, following indictment, the same day, in connection with the slaying of H.

Tibbett, John Candell and Tom Nazworn, detective charged with killing a degree murder. Kier, it is alleged, was killed by the officers who took him away from police headquarters "to work on him" following his arrest on a charge of accosting a woman guest at a hotel where he was employed.

New York City - Humbert J. Fugazy, summer rival of Tex Rickard in the local boxing field, has settled a financial squabble with Paulino Uzedun, Spanish heavyweight, and announced that he had secured a return match, with Godfrey for the Basque woodman at the field, and gained an unqualified decision over the Spaniard in ten rounds on the Pacific coast, recently. Bob Moody, A. A. U. Champ, Wins Bob Moody, another Afro-American giant heavyweight, amateur champion of Pittsburgh, is the new junior National A. A. U. champ, having won that title at Detroit, last week Friday night, when he came up for a title. Moody brought together the best amateur 200-pounders in the country. Moody battled Manuel Sapp, a six-foot, four inch Afro-American star from Detroit, in one of the top bouts of Louis Wargo's amateur show at public auditorium, Monday night. Wargo made a special trip to Detroit to sign an opponent for Moody and decided on Sapp when he was higher than Moody. He and also the Cadillac A. C., one of the biggest boosters of amateur boxing in Detroit. Sapp had scored knockouts in his last nine bouts, previous to Monday night. He lost a chance to compete in the junior National A. A. U. tourney when he sent his entry in too late. It is a good thing he did or he wou ld never have a chance to win. Monday evening, with Moody, his 220-pounds was on the canvass in less than two rounds. Bob slammed Manuel "from Pittsburgh to Detroit and from there to Cleveland" while the crowd roared in barbaric glee. Gardner Ahead Again Old Laguna Pueblo, N.

Columbus, O.—Monday, March 12, five men from New Madrid, Mo., arrived to identify Wm. Brown, whom the deputy-sheriff several weeks ago failed to sufficiently identify. The Afro-American in the party declared, after seeing Brown at city jail, that he had never seen him before. The white physician who had taken stitches in a cut above the man's eye was in a serious trouble due to infected teeth, in Missouri, identified Brown. It was brought out that within sixty days he had received a photo of the boy from here! A Columbus dentist was called in by the Governor's secretary to examine Brown's teeth; all perfect! The would-be identifiers insisted that their county had spent large sums of money on this case and they could scarcely return to the boy. The Governor insisted that raiding the house that would protect every citizen Ohio from injustice. He declared they had "quite plainly erred. This Will Brown is not the man." A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY!

SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1928. It looks mighty bad for any Presidential candidate to have to publish a campaign paper for himself. Don't be fooled in any such way. Beware of the Presidential candidate who says he endorses the policies of the Coolidge administration. How about the Coolidge "jim crow" segregation policy? Do you endorse that? Tell the candidate (or his henchman), who comes to you telling you what he (the candidate) has said or done for the race, that it is not what he has done now but what he will do with that damnable segregation at Washington, D. C., in case he is successful. We have "paid in full" and don't owe any of them "a frazzling thing" for anything they have said or done. Tell them to stop the fool talk, worn out years ago. This is the time for our people, throut Ohio and the country over, to show some common sense, racial loyalty and prime interest in their own people as well as interest in the candidacy for the Presidency of some member of the other group or class. If they fail to pledge the elimination of that disgraceful segregation at Washington, D. C., DON'T VOTE FOR THEM! This means Willis, Hoover and all of them, Republicans or Democrats. ---||||--- Last week Friday night, a Hoover club was formed in St. James A. M. E. church (rapidly growing into a political wigwam) and Albert Turmer was elected president. During the meeting, Atty. Peter Boult gave reasons why our people should not support Hoover or Willis, but Gov. Al. Smith of N. Y. state. This so aroused Rev. D. O. Walker, pastor of the church, that he shouted for Mr. Boult to give the floor to the chairman, but to no avail. Then a number of the organization "pounced on Peter," but "he held his ground" and the audience as a whole was certainly impressed with his talk. Don't be silly! Howling for ANY candidate for the presidential nomination who has not PLEDGED the elimination of segregation from the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service, in event of his nomination and election, is about the SILLIEST thing that a loyal and intelligent member of the race can do, these days. No one of the candidates, Republican or Democrat, has as yet declared himself on this all important question to us. So go slow and don't, for God's sake, if not for your own, be a W. F. N. Guess you know what W. F. N.'s are. If you don't, ask Dr. H. C. Bailey or Walter E. Carey, Jr., to translate it for you. Ohio Afro-Americans DON'T owe a single thing to Senator Frank B. Willis or any other candidate for the Presidential nomination. We have paid them (with compound interest) with loyal support for anything they claim to have done for our people here, or elsewhere in the world. It is now time for candidates to tell us what they will do with that rotten "Coolidge" segregation at Washington, D. C., in case they become President, and if they don't pledge to eliminate it we would be a lot of fools and jackasses to vote for them on April 24, 1923. Don't be a fool, jackass or a W. F. N. Be men and women, loyal (next to your God) to your own long-suffering and maligned people. Demand the pledge before you vote for any of the candidates. MAURICE'S LITTLE JOKE. At the Douglass Republican club's welcome home" meet, at the Apex club, E. 40th St., this city, last Saturday, for Councilman Tom Fleming and Secretary Charles S. Smith who had just returned from a several weeks' stay at Hot Springs, Ark. Maurice Maschke, county Republican leader, just had to have his little JOKE, it seems. Here it is: "Councilman Fleming is the greatest force alding colored people here to lift themselves to the position they should hold in the political and civic life of Cleveland." z z This made nearly every Afro-American present feel like laughing out loud. The very idea of Tom's "aiding Colored people here" to do ANYTHING worth-while is so superbly ridiculous that it is really a wonder they were able to control themselves to the extent they did. However, it was only out of respect for the speaker, who kept "a straight face" and thus did not disclose the fact that he was joking. We wonder if Maurice has ever heard Tom ask this of persons of color who have gone to him for "aid": "Have you got any money, have you got a bank-book?" According to the "boys," constituents of Tom's, that question is Tom's classic. Who really knows whether Tom ever heard of that Woodland Hills Bathing pool trouble and riot, last year, or anything else of the kind; or of any occasion when the local Afro-American public, his constituents and others, really needed his "aid." Maschke and others have for some years now tried to give Tom credit for appointments, etc., that he (Maschke) has made. But, too many know better. And then there are a number of our members of the local Republican organization who had to get not only places but also promotions in spite of Tom's opposition, and still others who are today holding inferior positions because of Tom's refusal to "aid," sometimes saying "it is not time yet for our people to expect to get such jobs," etc., etc. As a matter of fact, Tom's been too busy, getting jobs for his relatives, to "aid Colored people" of this community. HOOVER, WILLIS AND ALL. Atty. S. Kornhouser, a Hoover worker, spoke at St. James A. M. E. church forum, Sunday afternoon. By the way, the church seems to have been turned into a political wigwam, these days, even Sundays. The speaker claimed that Senator Willis was of mediocre ability, as a presidential candidate, while Hoover was the most outstanding candidate as far as merit was concerned. Atty. Alex. H. Martin asked the speaker if Hoover at any time had stated his disapproval of racial segregation in the governmental departments at Washington, D. C., and the speaker replied by asking Martin if Willis had ever done so. Oppressive silence followed. It was "six of one and a half-dozen with the other." Neither Hoover nor Willis has ever done so, to date. Our people should not support any candidate on April 24. '28, who fails to pledge the prompt elimination of that damnable segregation at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service, in event of his nomination and election to the Presidency. The Douglass Republican club's "welcome home" meeting, last Saturday evening, at the Apex club, E. 49th St., in honor of Secretary Chas. S.

Day, Street Commissioner John G. Tomson, County Commissioner J. H. Harris and several others, members of the race. President L. O. Payne presided. For additional notice of the meeting, see editorial on page 2. The Caterers' ball on April 9th, Easter Monday night, will be a rare treat to the public in general.

Clark, E. 84th St. supervisor of Ohio agencies, ordinary department, Supreme Life and Casualty Co., of Columbus, and in charge of the company's local district office, returned to the city, several weeks after he spent six weeks for the Supreme Life. While at the nation's capital, Mr. Clark addressed the class in economics of Howard University and twice addressed the University's class in insurance. He left, Sunday, night, for Cincinnati to be present at the company's headquarters in modern three-story building. He will be there for about two weeks. Current rumor has it that Safety Director Barry recently notified women of questionable repute in the part of "the roaring third police precinct" between E. 9th St. and E. 29th St., to close their houses and move into "roaring third" territory of the women, who refused to move, were permitted to remain, on a promise, it is said, to refuse to entertain white "men"—practice "social equality." It is also said that some of those affected maintain suites they live in, just east of E. 55th St. on Central Ave., that are furnished at the bottom of the building, dollars, and have expensive autos in which their "men" of color are seen driving about the district. State Attorney General Edward C. Turner, in a report, last week, to the Ohio Supreme Court, asked that six Cleveland men named in the recent bar examination frauds be cited for contempt of court. The men are Roy H. Guilkey, Minor C. Reid, Welcome T. Blue, Charles K. Botten, George Schneider and Robert Albin. Turner also asked that certificates held by Guilkey, Botten and Albin, who passed the examination, be revoked. All these men are alleged to have paid varying sums to Ralph Miller, one eminent lawyer of the Supreme Court, who promised to see that they passed the examinations. Miller is serving 70 days in Franklin county jail for contempt of court. Blue was one of the five Clevelanders to plead guilty in the Ohio Supreme court at Columbus, Wednesday.

POISON BLOOD. H. H. Von Schlick, herb specialist and manufacturer of the famous Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea, tells people that almost all diseases are caused by impure, poisoned blood. When the stomach is sick you feel miserable, you are constipated and the poisons go into the blood. When the liver refuses to work the poisons go into the blood; when the kidneys are weak and out of order more poison goes into the blood and the result is that your body is sick all over. For many years I have been telling people sick with disease caused by the poisoned blood, that my Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea gives relief to those who suffer from stomach, liver, kidney and blood troubles. I say to every man and woman that suffers from sickness to try my Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea—millions of people will use no other medicine—they know that the roots, barks, leaves, herbs, plants and flowers are pure and help to make them well again. Go to your druggist today. Tell him you want Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea. He will be glad to supply you because he knows it is good medicine for the sick. It costs only a few cents. Doctors and druggists everywhere recommend my Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea as the best remedy anyone can take to kill a cold. Don't go down with "Flu." Gripe or Pneumonia. Kill your cold with a bottle of Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea. Just ask your druggist for a box today or I will send it either by mail postpaid, 1 large family box for $1.00 or by mail C. O.

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice?—Protest, Protest! (Special to the W. Washington, D. C.—There is more segregation in Washington, today under President Coolidge than there ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of the segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, parks President Wilson never troubled by present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. President Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the censurers in this city in 1910, making white workers, black, white people, black workers, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and an insult to the enemy by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on the Our Republican president. Some mentioned, go-colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the head of the other favorite and leader of the segregationists, the superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid dedication on monochrome operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Kn. Klux Klan, a group that called itself "home" here and in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette ) ((Special to The Gazette.)) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice, segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The clerks maintain a sparse cafeteria while only, where inferior white clerks can buy appetizing lunches and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold lunches from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they reflect that, as they are more capable than the whites, and government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same purposes. Its vital club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. The white employees have even passed around invitations to the white employees to the postoffice, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general, and the day he was to come off, and he ordered the staff to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks got around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No "Negro," however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of men. The colored clerks have done to form a union which meets regularly and often sends messages and intelligent proteins to the postmaster, and often presents from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.. The government printing office is well with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of atery mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for children. I am glad to say that few very few of the patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public bumilation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice-reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the inflection over our supervision employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid lift in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so heavily. He was one of many of young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance in front of the building, he was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment he was no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial of the complaints of my exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a diff. form of the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a rebel and a wife of Senator Robert La Follette (deceased). Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for the segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was up- on intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed. Senator La Follette, father of the present Senator of the same name, lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing the nation of the letter writer. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the N. A. A.C. P. in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out, one stormy afternoon, to the Y. M. C. A., to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crisis. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack the White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the N. A. A. C. P. secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers the day before what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and work-stations of course, and ever thought of four opportunities to executive places. They are girls from our best homes, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hopelessly destroying this inquisitive practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, a national extremity such as this has never known, devised the national Civil War, which financed the Civil War and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department employing several thousand clerks. New grocers are so scarce there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no further. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored rooms are not in the same place. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white paper of the city is constantly telling of the city's lack of take advantage of this "delightful environment" and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the coloured people are congregated in a separate room where "the Negro claimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; they act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Johnson will can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan whenever he decides to do so.

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 (697.9) the term "serious injury;" for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, but the 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, 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 mob (93 v. 162 6). Section 6284.

If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought to 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 on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner to disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or antilynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other nor- thern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted antilynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching. ry by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. just member of mob. just 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, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance 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, facilities and amenities of the place 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 want it but it will do to them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good 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. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this city I venture to send you, under a separate 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. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, then would have been no occasion for criticism admonishing 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. 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 obdurate 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 foulest blot. —Cowper. ding It Copy of It
