Mobile, Ala.—Members of the County League of Women voters (white) at a meeting, last week Thursday, adopted a resolution to assist in circulating a petition asking Gov. Brandon to commute the death sentence of Hayes Leonard, slayer of Judge Samar Smith of the county of Ala.

STATEMENT FOR OCTOBER 1, 1926 Of the Ownership, Management, Etc., Required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912. Of The Gazette, published weekly at Cleveland, Ohio for October 1, 1926.

That the two paragraphs next above, giving the names of the owners, stockholders, and security holders, if any, contain not only Before me, a Notary Public, in and for the State and county aforesaid, personally appeared Harry C. Smith, who having been duly sworn according to law, deposes and says that he is the owner of The Gazette, and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management, etc., of the aforesaid publication for the date required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in section 411; Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the reverse of this form, to wit: 1.

BAER Presiding Judge of the Cuyahoga County Bench, Is a Candidate for Probate Judge—Splendid Ability. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Permit me to say a few words in behalf of an exceptionally capable and deserving servant of all the people of Greater Cleveland and Cuyahoga county: Seven years, prosecutor; the same number of years, a municipal judge and seven years a common pleas judge, twenty-one years in all of most efficient and satisfactory public service, make Judge Baer a formidable candidate, particularly for any judicial position, or for any other, for that matter, in the gift of the people of this city and county. There has never been a politicized work; nothing but praise. Therefore, too, he is progressive, as his latest move in the interest of the people of Cyahoga county attests. The judge has been making a study of the unified court plan for several months and believes its adoption would make unnecessary much of the remedial legislation suggested by the Cleveland Bar Association to the public, and only other desired results without the creation of an excess of new machinery, in advocating the adoption of the unified court for Cleveland, he asserts that Cleveland's legal machinery for handling criminal business is seventy-five or a hundred years behind the times and no one questions the correctness of his statement. Indeed, the Cleveland bar association of our local legal "lights" and many citizens are of the same opinion. Judge Baer is not alone in his opinion of the unified court plan for Cleveland's judicial ills, or most of them, can be cured by unification of its criminal courts, say Detroit judges, prosecutors and lawyers after a ten-month test of the plan in the Michigan metropolitan area, will make no mistake if they elect George P. Baer probate judge on Nov. 2 and he is a candidate for the position. Shiloh Baptist church trustees are: Steele Tolliver, $. L. Henderson, A. B. Seay, Wm. Caskey, Samuel Waters, Charles Baldwin, Fetter Pace and James D. Hamilton. Some of these were elected. Sept. 14, 2014, the trustees be added at the next church meeting and a full board of deacons elected. The pastor and a few selected women-members of the church have been managing its affairs, for about six months. The trustees are reported to have asked the church to foreclosure of a $17,000 mortgage the, quarterly interest (about $2500) on which is past due. The members are hopeful of raising the money and expect to prevent delay in payments in the future. There are also $5,000 in the church, it is said, the interest (about $1400) on which is about due, also. ing against The Gazette. 4. That the two paragraphs next above, giving the names of the owners, stockholders, and security holders, if any, contain not only the list of stockholders and security holders as they appear upon the books of the company but also, in cases where the stockholder or security holder appears upon the books of the company as trustee or in any other case as trustee of the person or corporation for whom such trustee is acting, is given; also that the said two paragraphs contain statements embracing affiant's full knowledge and belief as to the circumstances and conditions under which stockholders and security holders who do not appear upon the books of the company as trustee of the person or corporation in a capacity other than that of a bona fide owner; and this affiant has no reason to believe that any other person, association, or corporation has any interest direct or indirect in the said stock, bonds, or other securities than as stated by him.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "SOCIAL EQUALITY" Promoted By a Virginia White Woman And an "Old Dominion" Barber. Charleston, W. Va.—George Manuel, Winchester, Va. barber, was fined $250 and sentenced to nine months at hard labor on several charges here, recently. The docket read, "operating a car while drinking", "transporting and possessing liquor", "resisting officer", "at tacking an officer, with attempt to maime, disfigure and destroy". Actually Manuel's only crime was the fact that his companion was a white woman. The charge of carrying concealed weapons was also filed against the barber when a Spanish automatic was found in the side pocket of his car. The liquor charge grew out of the charge that a half pint flask lay beside it. State policemen had been watching the couple driving in the barber's Studebaker touring car for some week. Week before last, they placed him under arrest, one of them taking Manuel into the side car of his motorcycle and the other trailing behind the touring car with Manuel's white "sweetie". Just outside the city, Manuel humiliated and enraged, ditched motorized troopers by grasping the handle bar and turning it into an embankment. He and the policeman grappled and the barber who had seized the policeman's gun was getting the best of the encounter when the other state trooper arrived on the scene and began to club the barber with his blackjack. During the melee, the woman escaped, and has not been apprehended. They went to Letters found on Manuel and in the car, written by the woman, whose name the state withholds, indicate that their relations had been intimate for some time. GIVING SPLENDID SERVICE! Juvenile Judge Harry L. Eastman Ought to Be Elected to the Position in November—He Was Appointed. Our Juvenile Court (legally known as the Insolvency Court) is one of the most vitally important in our judicial system. To secure the most beneficial results from its work, it is absolutely necessary that the judge presiding over this court should be a person of broad, human sympathies and a determination to sweep aside legal technicalities when they stand in the way of the best interests and fu- ture of the child, for this is the result that the juvenile court law contemplates. Judge Eastman, of this court, possesses these qualities, and is bending every energy to extend the benefits of the mothers' pension fund which has for its object the keeping together of widows and their children. The judge has appointed a woman of excellence and experience to hear in private the cases of unfortunate girls and report to him, and in other ways has made wonderful progress in maintaining and increasing the splendid service of the court. He should by all means be retained. Therefore, we urge our readers to give his candidacy, on election day in November, their united support. FINED 850 AND COSTS! The Proprietor of the Delicate Punished for Drawing a Color-Line. Iadore B. Cohn, manager of The Delicate, 45 Public Square, was fined, last Saturday morning, fifty dollars and costs, by George Thomas E. Green, for refusing to serve Atty. Chester K. Gillespie in the restaurant, Sept. 2, 1926. Atty. Gillespie says: "Judge Green permitted this case to be passed four times in order that the defendant could bring in witnesses and was most unfair and unwilling to do justice, every time, the case came up for hearing by manager Coln would not have been found guilty had it not been for a deputy sheriff who told the unvarnished truth about the affair. He sat next to me in the restaurant, that day. Judge Green's heart is not right when it comes to rights and privileges guaranteed our people by the law. My opinion is that every colored man and woman in this city and county should remember his name and vote on the ballot. He is undoubtedly unqualified to sit on the bench in the North, especially here in Cleveland." IN UNION IT IS STRENGTH C COPY FIVE CENTS WAY AN APPRECIATION! The Only Judge Who Showed Real Interest in the Effort To Save the Life of Emanuel Ross. Judge Samuel H. Silbert started life as a newsboy, but grew an ambition to study law. He entered a local law school and today is a member of its faculty. The judge has had an interesting public career: police prosecutor, five years; municipal judge, nine years, and common pleas judge, two years. The judge has been a dedicated ticket! Judge Silbert established the night-court of domestic relations, and inaugurated and extended the conciliation system at the police court. He believes in justice without technicalities or "red-tape," believes that laws are merely rules, and that that the main thing about law is that we must have a striking exposition of this in recent weeks The Gazette needs only to recall and that was Judge Silbert's efforts in the Emanuel Ross case. All will recall not only his court-action but the splendid letter to Gov A. V. Donahue, he supplemented it with a plea to succeed himself—for re-election, to a six-year term—and to doubtless will be triumphantly re-elected. He surely will be if his other friends vote for him as well, proportionately, as ours will under the leadership of our local Federation of Women's clubs. This publication is not a paid publication, but an appreciation of one entirely worthy which Mr. Paul Apple and The Gazette's editor are pleased to give to the public. "HIGH STRUNG DUBOIS"! A Chicago Contemporary "Takes a Fall" Out of "The Crisis" And Its Editor—"Point Well Take". The Crisis magazine is advertising that insipid book of Carl Van Vechten, now appearing under the heinous and insidious caption of "Nigger Heaven." Maybe the "directors" consider the book a work of genius because the author has been hanging around with them from the devil seem artistic and ingenuous. This book should not be advertised in our periodicals. It would be an insult to any other people to caption a work in terms derogatory to them. The words "Nigger Heaven" no doubt will offend high strung DuBois, one of the Crisis' authors from Germany and Switzerland, where he has gone to study the race problem, but we will have to wait until he returns. Maybe the "Klansman," the "Leopard Spots" and some of Thomas Dixon's work will be advertising in the Crisis before he gets back on the job. Last week, we visited the "Shoot Crap Blues" and other revolting photographic records, until our gentle reminder awakened them.—Chicago Whip. FLORIDA INDIANS WISE. Quit The Storm Area Ten Days Before the Disaster—"Me Going"! Jacksonville, Fla.—Native Floridian Indians, who lived in the devastated territory, deserted their homes only ten days before the disaster and can boastfully say, "I told you so" as well as can other persons who possessed the ability to read astronomical signs. There were persons who were hearded our children and would return despite the warnings of police officials to stay out. They were jailed in many cases. One big Indian man, pointing to something in the elements and shaking his head said in a trembling voice, "See, see, that bad omen. Better go to highlands. Me going." Of course the incident did not impress his hearers so the children are alive in the area. Today, all are alive. Wrecked havoc with other citizens in the vicinity where the warning was not heeded. Freed in Siki Slaying. New York City.—Martin Maroney, who had been held in Tombs prison for nine months on suspicion of connection with the slaying of "Battling" Ski, Senegalese boxer, once world's light heavyweight champion, was discharged in court.

Vance H. Marchbanks, Jr., son of Warrant Officer and Mrs. Marchbanks of the Tenth U. S. Cavalry, stationed at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, has been designated by President Calvin Coolidge, on the suggestion of the War Department, as a candidate from the United States at-large to take the examination for entrance into the U. S. military academy at West Point, N. Y. It would take a good deal to make us believe that the President knew Vance was an "Afro" when he appointed him. WELCOME INDICATIONS OF PROGRESS. The Mobile, Alabama, county league of women voters (white) is assisting in the circulation of a petition asking Governor Brandon to commute to life imprisonment the death sentence of Hayes Leonard, the "Negro" who was bulldozed into killing Judge Lamar Smith of Wetumpka, Alabama, by the judge's son-in-law, Clyde Bachelor (white) who it seems was after the judge's money and estate, and who is also under sentence of death. The women may not be aware of the fact, but they are "rocking the boat" and "rattling the dry-bones" of southern race prejudice, and too, in a way seldom heard of in the last quarter of a century or more. All of which would go to prove that the better class of white people in that section of the country are making a little progress, at last, along racial lines. That there has not been a general out-cry throughout the south, against this action of Mobile white women by the ultra-prejudiced press and people of that section of the country is another indication of progress along the same line. HOW COME, JUDGE THOMAS E GREENE? We understand that recently a common pleas judge of this city and county, in awarding damages in a case under our Ohio Civil Rights Law, gave an aggrieved plaintiff the minimum penalty of fifty dollars, as provided in the law. And then "remitted" forty of the fifty dollars, thus compelling the defendant, a restaurant-keeper, to pay but ten of the fifty-dollar judgment. What we cannot understand is how the judge of any court in this state can thus legally abrogate a specific penalty provided in a state law, thus arrogating to himself the right and power to override the State Assembly which enacted the law and the State Supreme Court which has repeatedly adjudged as good law our Ohio Civil Rights law. In our judgment, here is an important legal question which should be determined by the higher courts just as soon as possible. "BALLYHOOING." Wonder whether the race of us would not be more respected if we were sober citizens and voters. We are not referring to whiskey, but to cainess, common sense, solidity in political matters. We really make big fuss over nothing, grow jubilant and voluble about things in politics which mean nothing to us, directly, and very little to us, indirectly. We shout when there no cause for shouting, praise when there is no reason for praising and approve when we have excuse for doing just the opposite—Louisville (KY). Leader. Worse than the foregoing is the southern Negro's penchant for exaggeration, talking in the superlative, particularly about his business affairs. With "ballyhooing" and exaggerating, we are rapidly impressing thoughtful people of all classes as a race of wind-bags or blowbags, which is anything but helpful, to say the least. It is time to call a halt, instead of our business and professional men and women. THE GEEVUM GIRLS and others, giving in to that sort of thing as they do generally thrust out both the North and South, these days. THE "SUPERLATIVE". A dispatch from Columbus to the local daily papers, last week, announced that Afro-American representatives of thirty-four counties of the state, had just assembled there and organized a non-partisan voters' league, electing Dr. E. J. Gregg, of this city, president, and Attorney Sully Jaymes of Springfield, vice-president. We are inclined to question that alleged "representation" from thirty-four counties of Ohio. It has the "ring" of southern "blowbagism". It would have been far better to have told the truth about that "representation", be it ever so small, because there is a place in the Ohio political sun, these days, for a non-partisan league of Afro-American voters. LINCOLN NEVER SAID IT! Editor B. J. Davis of the Atlanta (Ga.) Independent delivered the emancipation oration, last month, at the celebration in Columbus, Ohio, and among other things said, he had no patience with those scholars and philosophers of the race, who charged that Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves as a war measure; that the charge, on the part of these wiseacres, was largely due to their ignorance of the character of the man, or of their confessed-self importance; that Lincoln, at seventeen, when in New Orleans, saw a Negro girl being sold into slavery on the auction block to the highest bidder, and said then and there, "If I ever get a chance at that thing, I will hit it, and hit it hard." Meaning slavery, of course. Editor Davis is too harsh, coarse and even rough in his criticism of "those scholars, philosophers and wiseacres" who differ from him in their Lincoln estimate. Isn't it barely possible, "Brother" Davis that they may be right and you wrong; that their opinion may not be "largely due to their ignorance of the character of the man, or of their confessed-self importance" John Hay and John Nicolay were President Abraham Lincoln's secretaries. They wrote the best, the most exhaustive history of the martyr president ever printed in this country. Before its publication in book form, it ran for many months as a serial in the Century Magazine. Much that appeared in the Century did not appear in the history because the magazine publication was too voluminous. We well remember our careful reading of it at the time of the Century publication with a special view to deciding in our own mind the very point our distinguished conferee of the Atlanta, Independent brought up in his recent Columbus, Ohio, emancipation oration. We also read the Hay and Nicolay history of Lincoln soon after its publication in book form, and others, as well as hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles about the martyr president since that time, many years ago. Our friend Davis" "Lincoln" quotation did not appear in either the Hay and Nicolay magazine or book publications, or any other first-class history of President Lincoln we have ever read. Indeed, we have yet to read it in any authentic work on the emancipator. On the contrary, for reasons that would tend to strengthen the stand "those scholars, philosophers and wiseacres" maintain, President Lincoln did not favor the Generale Hunter and Fremont emancipation proclamations which preceded his by years, but revoked the latter's, removed him from his command of the Missouri department of the U. S. army as a result of its issuance, and (it is still very generally believed) broke the old pathfinder's heart as a consequence. While not one of "those scholars, philosophers and wiseacres", in common with the great mass of people of this country we heartily agree with them, despite the very pretty little "Lincoln" story (for that is all it is) that our friend Davis quotes. We agree that President Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation was just what it appears on its very face—a war measure, pure and simple. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9. 1926. Support for Crank Case Quite Easily Attached The object of an invention of F. A. Goold and W. G. Baxter of Montfort, Wis., is to provide a crank case support specially adapted for attachment to certain light cars for supporting the crank case against downward move.

Tire Wear Doesn't Show Score on a Speedometer You cannot tell how many miles a tire goes by the score on the speedometer. If you'll stop and think, there is a lot of tire travel that the speedometer can't register, for instance: When you back up; when you skid with your rear wheels locked, and when you have one wheel out of line that skewers along the road like a bootlegger in tow of the law. And while on the subject of poor wheel alignment I'll wager that not a day of your existence passes but what you see some car ambling along the street or highway with a drunken wheel or two. If you have an abundant sense of humor you can easily get a laugh out of the cars so afflicted, especially if they are piloted by those absent-minded drivers who sit up stiff and straight and let the world go hang. But it is really a serious matter—for the pocketbook, anyway. When the wheel wobbles, so does the tire. And that means that it covers a lot more territory than there is need of and scrubs off some tread besides. Then, when it is all over but digging down into your jeans for the purchase price of a new tire, maybe you wonder why you failed to get as much mileage out of one casing as from another. It is a safe policy to test out the wheel alignment of your car every so often. You may find something that will save you money.—Farm Life. Magneto Setting Vital to Obtain Best Results When setting a high-tension magneto it should first be seen that the proper cylinder is in firing position; that is, both valves closed and the piston brought up to the highest point, which can be ascertained by running a rod or wire through the spark plug or petcock opening. When this point is reached the motor should be backed up one-eighth of a stroke, which is where the spark should occur when the spark lever is fully advanced. If it is desired to throttle the motor down very low, the spark plug points should be opened until they are fully one-sixteenth of an inch apart. Did You Know That— An engine will knock if the spark gap at the distributor is too wide? The supercharger is being manufactured by a large electrical equipment company? Reduction in wind resistance has resulted in adding ten miles per hour in speed to one of the latest sport closed jobs?

How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliat ed In the Government’s Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press and People of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? Washington, D. ©. (Special). —There ts wore segregation tu Washington today under President Coolidge than thers has ever been since the Civil War, The beginnings of segregation were under President Taft, It was greatly extended, un- der President Wilson; increased, still farther, under President Hard- jug; aud reached ite zenith under President Coolidge. Sor instance, the lurgest of our parm® President Wilson never troubled, but the pres- ent udministration bas found time land desire to introduce st even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme oi Insult, but such Is not the case. Mx, Tate in- troduced it in the bureag of engray- ing.

Ses: Fogation, then, is a Republican \n- Stitution and not a Democratic one. ie was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing ex- tent by Republicans! ‘There is far more of it in the de- partments, today, than at any tme fince the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil serv- Tee, which makes it next to impos- sibie tor a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since thelr color is disclosed in their photo- graph which must accomyany their papers, is tenaciously held on to. by bur Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photo- graph bad failed to tell her true folor, and they ilatly refused to ap- point her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion.

Washington, D. C.—In the postof- five segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The departrisnt maintains a spacious cafterla for whites only, where these inferior white clerke can buy appetizing tuncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage- ous as it is, is far less gaffing to the co.ored 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 they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelit- gent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employ- ment. ‘The department goes even tarther in (ts sollcttude for whives and neg- fect of colored, It maintains a well- appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment tor rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored em- ployees. This private club ts in the Magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the peo- ple, Im the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation 1s even attempted tn the toflets. And all of tenis Is against the most dependable and faithful employees.

Colored applicants are ‘often passed over though their ex- amination was superios No Negro, however efficient ‘or vld «a the serv- ice, must ever. dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though man} of the colored employees have wor contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The col: ored clerka have dared to form s union which meets regularly an¢ often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from tis 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 o! ther skin. Fe ie oie Washington, D.

During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this ‘restful retreat for sociability and dance, Last fall, a young Afro- American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance, As soon as this couple started to dance the music was ab- ruptly 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 dismiss- ed on a trumped-up charge.

Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to’the White House, a mem- ber 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 au order for segregation of the races, anda white lady who had been not- ed for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon tntimate ‘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 col- ‘ored people to stay in their places.” Taree of the voung ladies, resisted the order to the last ditch and were ‘summarily dismissed! | Senator La Follette iodged @ pro- ‘test with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a erusede against the undemocratic In- novation, She took the. platform vhere in Washington and Boston be- fore the famous Twentleth Century club, She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the ua- Uonal gathering of the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so, profoundly discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. ©. A to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Os- wald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Na- tion Association secured publicity In over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the Intention of the segrogators, name- ly, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau alto- gether. ‘The same segregation which some of our people think Is the cherished Institution of the Democratic party fg still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that *braiam Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found.

(Spectal to The Gazette) | Washington, D.

Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necess!- tated, this Is by far the largest de partment of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Ne- groes are x0 scarce there that they can't be noticed. There Ie the sams general complaint here among our clerks and other eniployees as there is {n the other branches of the gov- errment—failure to recognize their fificiency when promotions are dae: ability to go so far and no farther ‘The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—tiie restaurants closed or divided alons color lines, and special toilets, lock er rooms, rest rooms, ete., set of 10) colored. The toile:s for the colored are few In such a large structure Hence, the segregated clerks ary forced’ to endure physical inconven fence at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they sire the use of them. The depart ment maintains a buge. magnificen) cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of Seuibend “nlaek ber tatioual arive way, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and so- cialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this “delightful retreat,” and the festive scene that their presenc: creates, It seats two thousand div- ers with space tc spare; but not on¢ Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registership of the treasury: which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfeld ap. pointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the col ored people are congregated in a sep. arate room which is publicly pro claimed as ‘a colored division.’ When it is discovered that Negr¢ clerks are “working as waite” Ir other divisions, they are prompt); transfered to this “colored -division.’ Our people fear that protest agains: this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemna, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept se gregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities 11 this southern atmosphere, must take the former, They are depressed ai the wrong, but economic stress com: pels endurance of it.

In the former. bev ser board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to in- ereaso segregation in the depart- ments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little dur- ing the campaign.

RACE PREJUDICE! “I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! “T write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now.

Approximately 32 per cent of all persons killed by gutomebiles are Phildren under Afteen years of age, Many drivers are eareful on con- gested business streets, but careless in residential and other districts where children are. numerous, In spite of the danger, many chil dren make the street their playground, or in chasing each other or a ball they may suddenly dash {nto the street right in front of a moving vehicle. Watch Children Closely. A driver should assume that every child on or near the street may dash suddenly In front of his car. You cannot tell by looking at a child what It Is Eoing to do, You should, there- fore, drive slowly and have absolute control of your ear: ‘a, Not only when children are play- Ing in the street, but also when they fare pluying near the curb or on the sidewalk. b. When passing schools or play grounds. ¢. When approaching youngsters who are “hitching a ride” on the vehlele ahead, e. When passing lee wagons and street sprinklers. f When passing any hill that may be used for coasting, in winter. Timely Suggestions. Drivers should remember the fol- lowing: a. Caution your own and other peo- ple’s children about the dangers of the street. b, Do not allow pnsone to ride on the running board, rear tire, or bump- er of your car. ¢. Persons on bicycles, or roller skates, or in carts should not be per- mitted to hiteh on your ear, d. Tt is bad practice to give ehil- Gren a “lift” to and from school be- cause It encourages them to stand in the street while hailing. Such en- conragement by motorists promotes a hazard to the children and to all motorists. In many communities school chil- dren are being taught “safety.” Auto- mobile drivers shotld co-operate in this good work and take every precau- tion to prevent accidents to children. If you expect other persons to avoid Injuring your children, you should take care not to injure the children ae ete Some Worry in Getting Gas Into a Vacuum Tank Motorists who run out of gas on the road frequently have trouble in getting gas intothe vacuum tank which bté run dry.

When 4 candidate could obtain a nomination from a convention, he needed to be favorably known only to the delegates or thelr lead- ers. But to obtain one at the hands of voters throughout a state, he must gain the good opinion of thousands or hundreds of thou- sands. That requires advertising of one sort or another. That meaus expense, particularly to a new and little Known candidate.—Cleveland Daily News, Some old-time politician, who has been @ candidate when the old convention plan of making nom nations was in vogue, ought to tell the editor of The News that it cost the great majority of successful candidates @ great deal more than it does under the popular vote plan of today.
