A VETERAN Of The Spanish-American War En Route to the Pacific Coast by Auto Visits St. Catherine School and The Indians—Praises a Willys-Knight Garage. Sante Fe, N., M., Oct. 17, '27 Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir:—Arrived here safely at 11:30 a.m., m. after a wonderful drive, I visited St. Catherine school for Indian and our children, after meeting by the Catholic Church of Cleveland, O. And on presenting my Gazette representative card, I was most cordially received and shown thru the whole school, "from kitchen to garret" The work it is doing is wonderful and the sisters were extra cordial on learning that I represented a paper from Cleveland. Each room that I visited with the very courteous sniffers and the nice ones. The school is not so full, at this time, because many children are kept home by their parents as this is harvesting time. The second, third and fourth grades are doing fine work. Cleanliness and neatness were in evidence at every turn. Girls were busily, sewing and making their own garments with the boys doing likewise in their tailor shop. All of them named perfectly happy and contented. To see the contrast, I visited the village, nine miles distant, where the Indians were found in their squalor and adobe (mud homes); no baths, no chairs, and fifth. Teaching Christian civilization is, indeed, a grand work. And let me add, one thing unusual—the race comes in at the crucial point as he in this instance gains an equal basis with the Indians. No natives or whites are eligible. I visited the museum which is of national interest and the Spanish cathedral. One of the city schoolteachers showed me all points of interest in both the old and* new church. The Indian (in his native state) is dominant on the streets. Their coiffiers differ in type. The Toa have their hair in chugas (handkerchief tie around the head) and the Demmgoes have bobbed-hair with bangs. I started from Dayton, O., with a pint of cream in my ice-chest. I dress by Mrs. Sarah Cisco, were rendered. Mrs. M. McGowan presented Rev. Newsome with a purse, money contributed by members of St. Luke and a birthday-cake baked by his daughter, Martha.

Corpus W. Cordin. BLOOD BROTHERS! Wonder if that Aiken man who on Saturday shot to death his infant child and wounded the Negro woman who was attempting to shield the infant was one of the ex-members of the noble band of lynchers that about a year ago, in behalf of law and justice and in order that Anglo-Saxon supremacy should be maintained, did to death three helpless prisoners, one of whom was a woman? The latest achievement of this exalted citizen would seem, indisputably, to link him with that gallant group of patriots who did so much to focus national attention upon Aiken. The fact that he was certainly if he was not with them in person he was there in spirit. His type is drawn as needle to magnet to the ranks of lynchers. Saturday he was but running true to form; that finest lynching form, when coquious portions of liquor have washed away whatever slight veneer may have been laid by rudimentary civilization, and left the human as unhampered by sensibilities as the most original of the glorious aborigines who lived on all fours with the beasts of the jungle. Yes, gallant lynchers, claim Child Killer, give the bloody hand of fellowship, give the bloody hand of fellowship and fraternity to those compatriots who glory in the shaughter of man-cheled prisoners snatched from the palsied hands of the law of South Carolina—Columbia (S. C.) Daily State, Oct. 10, 27 DOINGS OF THE RACE Mr. John Green, of Seattle, Wash., has been appointed a deputy U. S. marshal. Hubert T. Delany was appointed an assistant U. S. attorney for the southern district of New York, recently. The N. A. A. C. P. has offered $2,000 for the arrest of the murderer of Dr. Lillianedal, the New Jersey physician who was murdered, some weeks ago. H. E. Schmitz (white) of Clarksdale, Miss., has been sentenced to the penitentiary for three years for stealing an automobile from Ben Washington. Rev. Henry Y. Arnett, a native of Wilberforce and a presiding elder of the A. M. E. Church in Delaware, is a candidate for election to the bishopric in Chicago in 1928. Jesse Boland, 23-year-old mechanical genius of Roanoke, Va., electrified that city, week before last, when he flew over the city for several hours in an airplane which he had built. The department of Justice has refused to consider the plea for clemency for Marcus Garvey because of other indictments pending against him. It is said that Garvey falsified his income tax report in 1922 and for this reason, President Coolidge will not recommend executive clemency for him. Relatives, left $500 each by "Cranky" John W. Underhill, of Mays Landing, N. J., who willed his $100,000 fortune to whites for park improvements and equipment of a school "gym," filed suit in Chancery Court, week before last, to break the will. He sure was an "Uncle Tom." We need real religion, and above all things, we need real preachers. But the fakirs in the pulpit are ruining the church, for the young people of today are too well educated to stand for a bunch of hypocritical, easy-living parasites taking their money and standing up in the pulpit saying, "Don't do as I do; do as I tell you."—Cincinnati (O.) Union, W. P. Dahne, editor. The "Negro" population of Bolbar county, Miss., is 56,000, the largest in any county in the country. And yet in Cleveland, Bolvar county, Miss., Chinese operate the Bolver county stores, the largest of their kind in that section of the state. In one of the six grocery stores, operated by the orientals, a cash and carry store, five clerks and a cash register, three business done by these stores alone is larger than the aggregated business of all the stores operated by whites or our people in the county. LORAIN-CENTRAL BRIDGE The Only Remedy to Growing Traffic Emergency—The Matter Thorny Canvassed by Experts—The Committee's Best Judgment. Characterizing the Lorain-Central bridge over the Cuyahoga is the only remedy to the growing traffic emergency which threatens to tie up through east and west traffic, the Citizens Bridge Bond Committee today opened its educational campaign to sponsor the bond issue for the bridge recommended by the Citizen's Bridge Committee. This fact-finding group, created by the joint action of the County, the City of Cleveland, the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Industry, has coordinated an effort to practically every organization in the county, spent the entire summer in open hearings at which every interested group was heard. Experts and U. S. survey engineers were freely consulted and a final recommendation was made for a single deck bridge with termini at the street levels on Lorain and on Central avenues and with a structure strong enough to permit the addition of a sub-deck when needed. There will be proper and adequate-grade seperation and with the old Central viaduct and main bridge over the Ontario street level. The cost to be $8,000,000. The bond issue will be presented. Nov. 8. "This will be the shortest and the most economical bridge," said K. F. Gill, chairman of the executive committee. "It will provide a saving of at least $2,000,000 over any other possible bridge and the cost will be less than half that of the earlier proposal for a double-deck bridge. Land already in use as county streets and approaches already planned, which will be bonded cost, will be used. A real traffic emergency exists, with the traffic on the Superior-Detroit bridge increasing about ten per cent a year. Even if the bridge is started now, it will take at least two years with a great army of workmen to get it completed before a more serious strangulation of traffic results." The citizens of the county are interests in the immediate construction of the bridge because of the inadequate routes to downtown Cleveland. There are 400,000 on the side of the river who will make use of this new artery from the east to the west. Remember—vote 'yes' for the bridge bonds. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ALSO, HIS "LEGION OF HONOR" THE WASHINGTON N. A. A. C. P. BRANCH'S GREAT MEETING A "HUMMER." Prof. Hershaw and Judge Cobb, "Fourflushing," Have "Their Hands Called," at Last—Cleaning House in the Organization—Thomas Re-Elected- White House and Cabinet- Read "The Gazette." Washington, D. C.—In spite of a beating storm, a large crowd assembled at last week's meeting of the Washington branch of the N. A. A. C. P. to hear the report of the strenuous fight against the new segregation of our clerks in the Pension Office, and to learn of the complete victory won for these clerks, and by them—the abolishing of the new segregation order, by Secretary Work of the Interior Department. Clerks Given An Ovation. The report of the controversy was made by Prof. Neva H. Thomas, president of the N. A. A. C. P. branch and number of the member of the organization, in New York City. He began by asking the group of clerks who braved the wrath of the government on the segregation issue, to rise. A voiceless outburst greeted them by the assemblage, and Mr. Thomas acclaimed them his "Legion of Honor." He then told of his visits, through years, to every department of both national and municipal government (since neither treats the "Negro" employee with any degree of justice) in protest against racial discrimination. Secretary Work and the anger he aroused in that official. How the latter had repeated his sophistrics on the second visit, when Sec. A. S. Pinkett, Robert J. Nelson and Thomas A. Johnson accompanied him to such good purpose, resorting to the same old, obsolete arguments. Pans the "Slackers". Prof. Thomas then asked for the weeding out of non-functioning officers of the local organization, some of whom seemingly allied themselves with the segregating machine. He told how Prof. L. M. Hershaw, chairman of the board of directors and vice-president of the local branch, became indignant, when the clerks appealed to him for aid, and indeed some of them came to remain on the stationery of the organization; how he fights no battles, brings in no members and attends few meetings. He read the record of Judge James A. Cobb which covered a period of years, working in the organization only when out of office, and attitudinally out of the office, a position from the same political machine which the organization must fight. He said that he appealed to Judge Cobb to come to the rescue of the clerks, oppose some of the other discriminations here at the security, secure some memberships, if he wished to be considered as worthy of the position, but that Mr. Cobb remains silent, seeking only stage seats at big meetings. Secretary Pinkett then read a resolution indorsing Neal H. Thomas for re-election to the national board of directors. He paid glowing tribute to Mr. Thomas for the hundred battles he had led—facing Presidents, cabinets, courts, U. S. senate and house, white press, big business, commissioners, the distressed their chiefs, commercial bodies, board of education, and hostile and intolerant public opinion here at the capital. After a series of eulogies, the resolution passed unanimously, of course. Just as it should! Matthew M. Morton introduced a resolution to appoint a committee to inquire whether Judge Cobb, Prof. George W. Cook and Prof. Hershaw were on the committee now on, or whether they prefer to submit their resignations. It passed unanimously with loud applause. Neval To "The Old Reliable". (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 25, 27. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Editor Harry:—From early boyhood I have read "The Old Reliable" Gazette and after a generation I must pay tribute to the early inspiration it gave me to enter the field of conflict and pay the price in loss of promotions, risk of livelihood, persecution by men in high places who are served by their "Negro" tools. The world calls the "harder road," but you can bear abundant testimony that it is the only one that can give true happiness, and lift life above the level of the brute.

To my personal knowledge The White House and Cabinet have read your repeated excerpts and have withdrawn with your ancient crusade, Old Warrior. The end can be nothing but victory! THAT GARY SCHOOL FIGHT. Funds Being Raised To Carry It On In The Courts—An Injunction Asked. Gary, Ind. — A city-wide campaign for funds to back the court fight necessary in the (proposed) "jim crow" high school controversy has been launched. Every pastor in the city pledged $25 personally and his church much more. The situation is at present in statu quo. Our pupils are still attending Emerson High school. Only one was transferred, and he did not properly belong in the Emerson district. The K. K. K. striking white children have returned to their desks in the same rooms with our students. The plan proposed by the city council, to erect immediately a temporary $15,000 portable school to house our twenty-three pupils, has been halted by an injunction asked for in court by Mr. one of our local tax-payers. The injunction will restrain the council from appropriating the $15,000 on the ground that it is a waste of funds, since our people are already taxed to support the adequate schools which exist. OUR ATLANTA SCHOOLS BAD! Three Sessions Daily—Old Delapidated "Second-Hand" Seats and Books Used—Law Violated With Impunity. Atlanta, Ga.—Every one of our schools in this city is operated with double and triple sessions, with thousands of children having nowhere to sit at all, while in the white schools there are but few double sessions and all the children have seats. This is the result of the unjust proportioning of public school money here. Thirteen new schools have been built to relieve the white situation while none have been built for ours. Old delapidated seats and text books taken from white schools are placed in our schools. The laws of the state provide that school facilities shall be equal, for both races. The law school at Athens and the medical school at Augusta are run in violation of the law, because the state does not provide legal and medical facilities for the education of Afro-Americans.
