AFTERMATH OF INJUSTICE.
The inevitable has happened,—Poro College, our largest business in Missouri (and in this country), is moving out of that state. No one can blame Mrs. Annie E.

SOME REPUBLICAN NOMINEES
Secretary of State
The above is an excellent portrait of Mr. Brown, Ohio's State Secretary who is a candidate for re-election and of course ought to and will

be re-elected. Mr. Brown, a resident of Blanchester, where he was in the printing business, is a friend of the race who needs no introduction, because this, he has demonstrated by acts rather than by the use of words. The Gazette bears testimony to this.
State Treasurer.
In a letter to the editor of The Gazette under date, Aug. 16, 1930, Mr. Day, proprietor of The Fremont Nursery and state treasurer, several years ago, and renominated for another term, Aug. 12, 1930, writes:
Hon. Harry S. Day.
"I know that the colored people have never had any reason to feel any way except the most friendly toward me, and I also know that all the colored people who are personally acquainted with me would testify. If there are those of our people who feel and think otherwise, and we do not believe that there are any, "The Old Reliable" Gazette would like to hear from them at an early date, because The Gazette supported Mr. Day for election when a candidate in years gone by and proposes to take this task, unless there are good reasons why it should not do so.

McKINNEY AND GRAW SHOWED THE OLD SOUTHERN RACE PREJUDICE.
Springfield, O.—The recent Republican primary campaign was the most lively one in several years. The interest was mainly in the contests for nominations for county offices, and for representatives from this, the seventh congressional district, the contests for county offices were spiring, with the sheriff's office leading, with the deed candidates. Much attention was given "the ored brother." Each candidate had one or more Afro-American workers and apparently much money was spent, thereby furnishing some temporary relief from unemployment. Meetings and lawn fetes where candidates could appear were of almost nightly occurrence in our districts during last week of the campaign. This last week the offices in which there are colored members gave assurance that that condition would be maintained, there was no racial opposition to any of the candidates except O. L. McKinney, prosecuting attorney seeking renomination. He is accused of keeping our people off juries, particularly in the case of Eddie Johnson who was recently tried on a charge of a crime, and acquitted by an all-white law. McKinney was defeated while all other incumbents who sought nominations were successful. The greatest interest was in the contest for member of Congress in which Probate Judge Harry G. Graw of Clarke county opposed Charles Brand of Urbana who is now holding that position Judge Graw Like his predicature Judge W. W. W. taken advantage of the opportunities offered by that court and the Juvenile court, over which he also presides, to air his personal "anti-Negro prejudices." Opposition to Judge Graw was based on the report that he had threatened to dismiss any deputy who issued a marriage license to any couple who were married was white and the other colored (a coloring young lady, Miss Lulu Butter is among the deputies in his office). Judge Graw admits that he issued such an order. It explains that he wanted the exclusive privilege of is-

Our citizens will be glad to know that there is an admirable sketch of the life of Mr. Hunt on page 253 of *Clinton's Colored Citizens*, by W. P. Dabney. — Cincinnati (O.) Union.
Mr. Hunt has scores of friends in Cleveland, and elsewhere thruout Ohio, who felicitate him upon the attainment of his sixty-third year of life and all of whom wish him many more birthday anniversaries as well as continued success, good health and prosperity. In this number is the editor of The Gazette, whose long personal friendship for him "Brother" Hunt has steadily increased because of succeeding year because he is a man above the ordinary in many respects.

suing the license in such cases in order that he might have an opportunity to explain to the contracting parties the great danger in the course they proposed; that his experience in the Juvenile Court children of such marriages always or such court and in general had a more difficult time than other children of both white or both colored parentage. There was more along the same line, such as asserting that the "Negro" was as much interested in preserving the "purity" (?) of his race as the whites were in theirs. This formation to a Judge Graw's attitude toward thinking colored voters in the district to the danger of having a representative in Congress with such prejudiced ideas. The district includes nine counties of which Clarke, Greene and Champaign counties with the cities, Springfield, Xenon and Urbana respectively, have nine colored population. Judge Graw supports (for the nomination) by a majority of 1,000 votes. Needless to say that he got some "Negro" support.
Suits were filed in the Common Pleas court, last Saturday, against the s. S. Kresge Co. by Charles W. Greene, on behalf of Vivian Jean Greene, a minor, and Mrs. Mamie Fillmore on behalf of Dorothy and Mary M. Fillmore, minors, charging false arrest and claiming damages in the sum of $10,000 each. These cases grew out of the detention and arrest of these children on the behalf of the children who stolen some articles all of which had chased in the Kresge store, and another that had been purchased at another 5 and 10 cent store. In trying to make the children admit that they had stolen the articles from the store, the Kresge employee took them to the basement where they were given "the third degree"—bullied, threatened and left for some time, until a representative of the juvenile court arrived and took charge of them. After being in custody for more than two hours and their stories found to be true, they were released.
THE MULATTO REPUBLIC
Being Ruled By Younger Men—New
Protesters—Bloodless
"Revolution" = "Yemen"
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.—The oldest nation in the new world launched a government by young men, Aug. 16. A 37-year-old soldier, Brig. Gen. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, became the youngest head of a sovereign nation when he took the oath of office as president of this little republic, Saturday. Rafael Estrella Urena, three years older than Trujillo and provisional president since the "bloodless revolution" of last February, became vice president. And there are great differences between the new senators and 33 new deputies. The republic's new officials, who rose to power as leaders in February's "youth movement," have set three goals for their four-year term: reduction in government costs, revival of business prosperity and diffusion of popular education. Santo Domingo and Haiti occupy the island of Haiti. Charles B. Curtis, U. S. minister to the Dominican Republic, represented President Hoover at the ceremonies. The new president is a veteran of the Dominican army organized to preserve order after withdrawal of the objectionable American war. He enlisted as a private in 1918, and was appointed rank when occupation ended in 1924. Only two European kings, Zogu I of Albania, and Carol II of Roumania, are younger (each a year) than Gen. Trujillo.
STAFFORD-POPE NUPTIALS
Alonzo H. Pope and Josephine Stafford were married, Monday evening, by Rev. D. W. Hill, pastor of Mt. Sinai Baptist church, at Mr. and Mrs. Young's, 6113 Thackery Ave. Miss Stafford's employers, Mr. and Mrs. Sayers of Castlewood Drive, their maid and chauffeur, and a number of the bride's friends of the other group, some of them with their maids, also attended the wedding. Others of this number present were: Mr. and Mrs. Sayers' son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Emerle and daughter of Thornhill Dr.; Mrs. and daughter of Portland Ave., and Mr. Goldman Edmundo. Edmundo's groom is a former resident of Detroit. The newlyweds will reside in Cleveland. They have the best wishes of scores of friends of both groups or races for a long, most successful and healthful life.

Stall, and Deaconess Jane Green, of Griswold and Jane Green, that they were dissatisfied with the pastor, who was elected for life, three years ago, Judge Moylan referred their cases to the probation department.
What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us.

the Blossom Triplets” certainly tied their own hands in grabbing the leadership of their respective wards. To try and secure jobs for their constituents or any one else, is a violation of the city charter. So now, how are they going to carry out their many promises to get employment for those so sadly in need of employment, and for families? And just to think of it! Bundy the self-styled leader of “The Blossom Triplets,” seems to have been double-crossed by Payne and George. These two individuals switched from Day to Harris during the latter part of the campaign and are now members of the Republican executive in conjunction with Miss Janet Anderson, this Fleming while Bundy is “out of luck; out in the cold.” What a combination! Politics “sauah make strange bed-fellows.”
The ex-ward leader, Louis Vincour's Samaritan kindness, made it possible for Councilman Bundy to be elected leader of the 17th ward at the County Republican convention, last Saturday, in the ball-room of Public Hall. Atty. Vincour had votes enough to defeat Bundy, it is said. The fight on the 18th ward leader, George Skinkle, resulted in his followers electing Councilman George Skinkle's successor. George was also on Bundy's serve longer in the position, it is said. George's election pleased greatly Mrs. Hazel M. Walker, Mrs. Lousse Pridew, W. T. Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer J. Whiting and Norman McGhee, Bundy's publicity man, who was so badly defeated for prescinct committeeman in ward 17. McGhee recently resigned as an investigator in Judge A. J. Pearson's domestic relations court about two months service. Why? The job was to hear that Missloss Triplet' Bundy as that member of the county Republican executive committee but Jane Hunter and the other two triplets (George and Payne) were. Mrs. Letha C. Fleming was already a member of it. Dwight Williams and Mrs. Hazel Bundy were dropped from the committee. The local Republican organization is to be congratulated, and on leaving Bundy out, too. Housecleaning (political) has started!
Mrs. Hazel Mountain Walker, who was dropped from the Republican executive committee—she was succeeded by Jane Hunter—today declared:
"Being on the executive committee doesn't mean a thing. All you do is say yes to everything that's said."
Both Mrs. Walker and Norman McGhee expressed displeasure at the selection of George as ward leader. Both predicted George wouldn't hold the job for more than his present term. During the past campaign, George did not show up, George did not-Maachee revolt in the colored wards which Bundy led—The Cleveland News, Aug. 18, 30
"Sistah" Walker seemed mighty sore over being dropped from the local County Republican Executive committee. What The News quotes her as saying reminds us of the old expression "sour grapes." She snail was making a face when she said she was not going to be the leader yet she was only getting what she earned, deserved from the local Republican organization which had been good, too good to be for some years. Wonder if Councilman George had anything to do with McGhee's recent loss of the investigator job? "The Rounder" knows that he was sore with Councilman George because of the latter's support and the award leader until Saturday when Skinkle turned the leadership over to George. Councilman George and Payne's belated refusal to be longer blindly led by the erratic "bobblegush" Bundy, when they left the Day candidacy and went to the support of George B. Harris for the Republican nomination for county prosecutor, was then broken up by the same Triplets." George's and Payne's political future is dependent largely upon their maintenance of that independence.
At the political meeting held in St. James A. M. E. church, Thursday evening, Aug. 7, Ralph Donaldson, local political writer for The Cleveland Plain Dealer, said Bundy dared Maurice Maschke to try to "dethrone" him in memberial sayings. "I'm him memberially saying," he made the party. We make the bosses. And if we make them we can unmake them. I haven't any fight on with any bosses, and they'd better not make any fight on me."

he used the words "dethrone" and "we"? The people of the third councilmanic district will do the "dethroning," next year in the fall time. And if it is the people he classes himself with, when he uses the word "we," he sure is talking about "dethrone." The "bobblehug" sits only on a "throne" of his own words, has sure been riding to an awful fall almost the day he entered the City Council as a member. There can be no doubt of this now. Then, too, his associating himself with the people, in the use of the word "we," is one huge joke because they are only waiting for next year, in the call of a literal skids under him. Then that threat of the "bosses," which had reference only to the leader of the local Republican organization, was such a weak and ridiculous a bluff that it made all smile. Equally as silly was his discussion of "leadership and threat to unhorse Herman Killin in ward 12, saying that: "Some day a 'Negro' is going to 'call' for them." When he calls, if he ever does, he sure will have to be other than a "Blossom Triplet." Our people of this community have had quite enough of them, particularly the "bobblegush." Bundy. Finkle and Berstein have done and are doing for our town of we, and the three "Negro" councilmen combined. Continuing, Bundy said (at this same meeting):
"This matter wouldn't have arisen had we had the kind of leadership from the other group that would have elevated and helped my people. I was talking about the kind of leadership that comes in and leads us only to exploit."
What kind of "leadership" in our group is being furnished by "The Blossom Triplets," please? "The kind that comes in and leads us to work on more words, as quoted in the Plain Dealer of Aug. 8, 1930, and everybody knows it. Instead of "elevating" and "helping" our people, just see what they have done to us in recent weeks alone—to say nothing of since the first of the year. May the good Lord deliver us from such leadership just as soon as possible and in any way he sees fit to. We sure do. By "Negro leadership" as has been furnished us by "The Blossom Triplets." In conclusion his speech, Bundy said: "It has been said that I am slated for execution."
AGREED! That's true! The people of the third councilmanic district have done the slating and will see to it that the political execution of the "bobblegush" and the other two "Blossom Triplets" will take place promptly, next year in the fall time. He also said:
"I asked my colleagues to stand by me in support of one candidate, and I was led to believe that all was well. But was my impression that we had agreed. Then one day a conference was called. The other two decided

to go another way, but I stood where I was."
Yes, George and Payne "did agree" to leave the Day candidacy and "go another way," to the Harris candidacy with the local Republican organization which decided overwhelmingly to do that very thing. And they were wise in so doing. It has already netted them membership and committee, at the local County Executive committee, at the local County Republican convention where Bundy was most decidedly "out of luck."
At this St. James church meeting State Senator Geo. H. Bender urged our people to "free themselves from the political yoke" which he said "made meant bond for other independent groups in other parts of Cuyahoga county." Well, now, that's just too bad, isn't it? Wonder what influence that, and other like statements from the same source, will have on the senator's candidacy for Congress? Will it help or hurt his Robert Crosser, who is seeking re-election for the third or fourth time?
Councilman George also spoke at this meeting, and the "the audience was hostile, George stood his ground and made them like it," and demanded to know "what in the name of God had the fitness of Maurice Maschke, to be the head of the Republican organization, to do the question of whether Day or Harris should be nominated?" He asked this question of the "hostile audience" and the erratic "bobblegush," Bundy. No one answered.

OUR LESSON
We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.

IS IT ANY USE TO CON-TEND FOR RIGHTS?
Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights"; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.' The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race.

FASHION'S MIDSUMMER DREAM IS OF BIG BRIMS TOPPING GAY PRINTS
M. W. H. W.
A VOGUE which has been flourishing since early spring and which is scheduled to carry over through midseason and into early fall, with even greater emphasis, is that of the separate jacket or short coat which gaily contrasts the dress over which it is worn. Throughout the advance fall showings the theme is being interpreted in versatile ways.
Just now jackets in bright red are quite the thing worn over white sports dresses or those of natural colored shantung. The costume in the picture is typical. This outdoor ensemble which tops a white frock with a vivid red jacket is made of a bemberg material especially woven for sports wear. The dress is very simple, to all appearances, but it assists its cut in such style-convincing details as a fitted-at-the-hipline skirt which develops wide box pleating at the hemline, also the square-cut neckline finished with a soft-tied bow on one side. The gown has short sleeves which is really much smarter than sleeveless.
FASHION'S MIDSUMMER
OF BIG BRIMS TO
MIDSUMMER is destined to make its exit midst extremely picturequee scenes so far as fashion is concerned. In its final gesture, the summer mode is staging with a grand flourish the loveliest of lovely big-of-brim lacy and sheer hats, the same topping ravishing flowery or plain filmy frocks. We haven't had anything so flattering for years as these picture hats of openwork straws and other transparencies, and the adorable gay prints with which they are worn. Knowing this, women are loath to give them up until the vary last moment; even though alluring fall fantasies in the way of cunning little velvet berets, likewise those of crocheted chenille are already making a strenuous bid for favor.
At the present moment interest centers about huge alry black hats with colorful frocks, although pure white and pastel colorings all have their place in the realm of summer chapeaux. In fact, two interesting trends are observed in the style panorama of the immediate moment—the all-white costume from tip to toe versus the bright
Don't Th
But Give it
Take note of the narrow red suede belt, the red heels on the white kid pumps, the white beret with a fringe made of the same fabric as the dress, and the white washable pull-on gloves, for these are all items which merge into a unit of ultra modishness. Jackets of most every color will enliven the autumn landscape. A sprightly effect is that of the orange-colored coatte worn over the dress of primrose yellow, and then there are those lovely pastel combinations such as a jacket in Patou pink with the frock of hyacinth blue. Bright navy blue with white, the navy coat cut along nautical lines, is ever so popular. Usually the white shoes boast trimming touches which repeat the gay tone of the jacket.
Those little palettoes which are creat-
ing such a furore this season, being
so amusingly quaint and old-fashioned,
are awfully smart. For these, velteen
is a favorite medium, tuned in
coloring to the dress with which it is
worn. For instance a brown and yellow
print dress calls for a paletto of
solid brown velteen; if the paletto
be fitted in basilique forms, if the
sleeves be nothing more or less than
shoulder-cape flaps over the arm, so
much the better, for it is the novelty
of the tingh which counts.

frock topped with a black hat of wide proportions. It is indeed very new to wear with the gown of white geogetter, net, batist or organdie a fragile looking all-white hat whose brim is draped with subtle grace. A cluster of white violets at the shoulder and the picture is complete.
In the picture, each of the black summery models boasts a touch of color, as do so many of the late Paris hats. Pink with blue, white with black or pale white with black, is very Parisian. Which accounts for the delicate pink rose on the first large hat of lacelake straw in the picture, also the cluster of white violets posed at the left of the crown in the qualin bonnet of wiry crin weave shown at the top to the right.
A bit of a bouquet of lilies of the valley adorns the bandeau of the huge black hat in the center.

TRACKLESS TROLLEYS IN USE IN DETROIT
SPECIAL
6
406
Trackless trenoy service was inaugurated in Detroit, Mich., recently when the new noiseless, smokeless and electrically operated cars were put in service. The cars have accommodations for 40 passengers, can accelerate to a speed of 35 miles per hour in 30 seconds, and have a leeway of 15 feet each side of the overhead trolley line that supplies the power. They also can pull over to the curb to discharge and take on passengers.
SUDDEN STOP IS BAD ON CHASSIS
Expert Suggests That Drivers Use Their Brakes With Moderation.
How long would your present automobile last if you installed a 350 horsepower engine in the chassis and drove it wide open?
There isn't a motorist in the world who would impose such a load on an ordinary chassis, because every driver knows that no standard automobile could withstand the terrific stresses imposed by so powerful an engine.
Impose Equal Stresses.
Nevertheless, many motorists habitually impose equal stresses on their cars without realizing it, a fact brought out by a Detroit manager of a large automobile concern, in a discussion of brakes and braking.
"Few persons realize how much energy must be dissipated to stop a car," he said. "Motor-wise drivers who know that it requires tremendous horsepower to give rapid acceleration never seem to think of braking in similar terms.
"With hydraulic four-wheel brakes, a car running at any speed can be brought to a dead stop in one-fifth the time that it takes to attain that speed. A 2,000-pound car, therefore, would require an engine of 350 horsepower to accelerate to 30 miles an hour in the same time that it may be stopped when going at that speed. "Some drivers who would not expect a standard chassis to stand up with a 350 horsepower engine make it a practice to use the brakes to their full power for every stop. That is, they maintain speed to the last possible moment even when they know long in advance that they must come to a standstill, and then bring the car to a sudden halt.
Advantage in Making Stop.
"It is a great advantage to have the ability to make sudden stops in emergencies, but it is a gross abuse of a car to use this power harshly every time.
"Drivers should use their brakes moderately for all service stops. When they see a red light a block a head they should let the car slow down gradually, bringing it to a stand-still finally with gentle brake pressure.
"This practice, if followed regularly, not only saves the tires and brake linings, but guards the whole chassis from undue stresses."
Check Up Repairs After
Car Has Been to a Shop
Car Has Been to a Store
After the car has been to a repair shop always check over some of the things that have nothing to do with the trouble that occasioned the servicing. This is important where cars are seen to shops that do not specialize in making make. What happens in many cases is that mechanics disconnect things and loosen parts that do not need to be touched. They are not quite familiar with the preliminaries to the real work and are obliged to experiment a little. The things that are disturbed in this way are not likely to be thought of when they come to finish the work.
Where the authorized service station does the work it is seldom that anything is disturbed unnecessarily. Any mechanic prefers to check over his work a little but often he is rushed by the impatient owner.
Great Britain Clings
to "Keep to Left"
Great Britain still clings to the "keep to the left" rule of the road, despite the fact that the "right" is generally accepted throughout the world, according to the foreign travel division of the American Automobile association.
Aside from Great Britain, other countries which have the left rule are: Alderney, Czechoslovakia, Gold Coast, Guernsey, Hungary, India, Irish Free State, Jersey, Malta, Northern Ireland, Rhodesia and Sweden.
THE MOTOR QUIZ
(How Many Can You Answer?)
Q. What effect on engine performance is produced by improper spacing of spark plug gaps?

Q. What percentage of new cars is sold on time?
Ans. Fifty-eight per cent.
Q. How many automobile dealers are there in the United States?
Ans. Fifty-three thousand and ninety-one.
Q. What country has the most automobiles per mile of road?
Ans. Mexico, with 37.7. United States ranks tenth, with 7.8.
Q. What is considered the average life of an automobile?
Ans. About six and three-quarter years.

Jay Walking Barred by Authorities of Paris
The authorities of Paris have adopted American methods for the protection of pedestrians. Large brass studs have been placed in the pavements to show the pedestrian where he may safely make a dash to the other side of the street, and pedestrians are expected to use this space and no other. The century-old-custom in France of allowing persons to cross the road where and when they will has been abandoned, much to the disgust of 30,000 Parisians, who paid fines for crossing the highways in the old-fashioned way.
AUTOMOBILE FACTS
The Wisconsin traffic code gives a cow in the road the right-of-way over an automobile. The pedestrian gets his under it.

OUR FORTY-EIGHTH YEAR!
With this issue, "The Old Reliable" Gazette enters upon its forty-eighth year of continuous publication, every week on time. Forty-seven years ago, this paper made its first appearance, with the writer at the helm as part owner, editor and manager. Many years ago, he purchased the interests of the other three members of the company and ever since the burden of and responsibility for the publication of The Gazette has rested upon his shoulders. How successful we have been is a matter of common knowledge the country over, and of personal pride on our part, for The Gazette's accomplishments were and are vitally important, many and varied. They recommend it, too, in the strongest possible manner especially to the loyal of the race wherever they may be. As a direct result of the Works of The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious "Black Laws" of Ohio were wiped out, and an effective Civil Rights law, and Mob Violence action or Anti-Lynching law enacted by the Ohio General Assembly. This paper, as all know, has never failed to do all in its power to help, defend and protect our people, not only of Ohio but of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and "turned back" the "jim-crow Negro" who is a more treacherous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than any other enemy of the race. Indeed, "The Old Reliable" Gazette has stood out in the open all of its forty-seven years of life like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never faltering and always determined. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help, defend and encourage our people along all lines of endeavor that lead to greater and better progress is a matter of general knowledge throughout the country. We refer particularly to its efforts against discrimination, national, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race. Personal and business interests have always been subordinated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's claion call to Afro-Americaners, generally, in season and out, has been to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than that all citizens, without reference to class (race) or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the North, we have been and always will be, unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of surrender," or conciliatory policy, so insidiously preached, in this day and time, by "jim-crow Negroes" and their fool-prejudiced white masters. The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for, ALL that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, thrul all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recommendations for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the forty-seven years — thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf — we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. There is, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers, at this time, and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become subscribers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and in this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation.

POLITICS
(Special to The Gazette)
The lynching of two colored youths of Marion, Indiana, was as barbarous an act as might be read of or seen in heathen countries. It was a part of the daily press the politics had its part in this lynching. Some high official, whose name was not given (the alibi of a coward), stated that citizens were incensed because of "leniency being shown colored accused," and that they were being urged to take prominent part in politics. Any investigation that does not show that the sheriff was a part to this lynching shoot was the signal to the mob to get their men and nothing would be done about it.
Any sheriff that refuses to uphold the law and gives way to a mob should be removed and forever disqualified from holding office. The oft-repeated lie that colored men make attacks upon white women has been exploded. The attempt on the part of low-bred white men to murder colored men, and hide behind the skirts of white women, cannot stand in the light of things as known to the public. Two colored youths committed crimes should have been given a fair and impartial trial. Men who would lynch boys are not to be believed or trusted with government.
Lynching is the "white" man's subterfuge, to discredit his own ability to govern. The prevention of colored men taking a part in politics is southern Democratic and K. K. policy. Colored citizens have the right to take part in politics, and profit thereby, as much as any other citizens. Any group that denies colored men this right is a set of political brigands. White men that join themselves together, in mobs to take the law into their own hands must die. If white men have lost faith in each other, so much so that the law of the land, then other folks must take the law in hand who will enforce it impartially and justly and make white criminals know that they are not bigger than the law.
A most reprehensible thing, done by the authorities of Marion, was the rushing of white policemen, secret detectives and plain clothesmen into the colored district of Marion to keep the colored men unarmed while the white hoodlums were free to arm themselves, go where they pleased and shoot down any Negro they felt like shooting. The authorities showed themselves wickedly blamed. When a mob is abroad, no group of citizens should be prevented from protecting themselves. In almost all of the cases of outlaws between races, the officers of the law were able to kill the Negroes while white men break down jails, run out the judges and jurors, and when they feel like it burn down the court-house.
The problem of America is to make the white men who make the law, interpret the law, enforce or charged with enforcing the law, have respect for that which they are responsible. This gathering together of Negroes in Marion for self-protection is but the beginning of an attempt to take the part of negroes to protect themselves from mob violence. That these Negro mobs will give the white mobs as good as they send no one need fear. We dread the thought of this but if this is the method to stop lynching it is no bloodier than the lynching and it will at least center the punishment upon the destroyers of the law. Lynching must go! Negroes are going to participate in politics everywhere they are. Those attackers are going to them and met with firmness and whatever else necessary to maintain the rights of citizens. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.

Operators Carefully Trained Against Errors
Instruction of telephone operators in the pronunciation of number digits is largely responsible for the 100 per cent decrease in number of misdirected calls per 1000 calls during the past 10 years, according to officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company.
Because of the similarity in the sound between some of the ten digits in the group from 0 to 9 inclusive, operators are taught to pronounce each figure in such a way as to minimize the confusion of that figure with other figures, it was said. The figure "4" is pronounced "fo-wer," the figure "5" as "fify" and so on.
Records of the telephone company show that wrong numbers are received by telephone subscribers of large cities an average of 23 times in 1000 calls. Of these 13 are attributed to the telephone company, and the remaining ten are calls on which subscribers give numbers they do not want. Since 1920, wrong numbers for which the telephone company is responsible have decreased from 26 to 13 per 1000 calls, the officials stated.
