To Remove Bar to Expression in Political and Civic Affairs in That Section of the Country—Dr. John Hope Speaks Up. Toronto, Ont., Can.—Unless the south permits the Afro-American to express himself in the political and civic embarrassing position than ever before." Rev. John Hope, president of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., told the congress of the Baptists World Alliance in session here, last week Friday. Coming to America in servitude and ignorance "Negroes" adopted the white man's language and even his religion, Dr. Hope said, but a great many feared the white majority. They were afraid, he said, that the whites, dominant in numbers, wealth and political power, would continue to thwart their development. This was done. Dr. Hope insisted the south was still preventing the Afro-American from expressing himself politically, and added: "I guess this condition is changed I expect to see my native south in a more embarrassing position than it ever has been before, even during the war of the rebellion." DOINGS OF THE RACE There were no Afro-American delegates or alternates at the recent Democratic National convention at Houston, Tex. W. H. Jones, of Richmond, Va., 1928 graduate of Union University, has been awarded an $800 scholarship given to the graduates school of the University of Cincinnati. Mrs. Samantha Farrer, of Athens, Ala., our only war of the rebellion mother, pensioned by the government, and one of the two on record in the Department of Interior, is 101 years old. The present Chief Justice of the Cameroons is M. Robert Attuly, a "Negro" and an easily visible one. Justice Attuly, who is now taking a rest in Paris, is still a young man and a native of Martinique. By the terms of the will of Wm. V. Chambliss, wealthy planter, who died there, recently, Tuskegee, Ala. Normal and Industrial Institute, his alma mater, is made the residuary legatee of an estate estimated to be valued at $100,000. U. S. government money to be used for the building of a new bridge across the Ohio River has been received in Louisville, Ky. Our American Mutual Savings Bank was made one of the depositories for this money, $30,000 being deposited in it. Gilpin in "The Emperor Jones" Charles Gilpin, with Paul Robson, regarded as among America's foremost and internationally renowned for his portrait of the title role in Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones", was in Cleveland from N. Y. City, last week Friday, to visit the Gilpin Players, our local dramatic organization, which played so very successful "In Green's Bosom", "In Abraham's Bosom", for two weeks, recently, at the Little Theater. Gilpin was accompanied by Barrington Carter, another Afro-American actor. Gilpin was the honor guest at a banquet given, last week Friday night by the dramatic group. Gilpin will return to Cleveland to play in "The Emperor Jones" at the Little Theater the week of July 8. Trying to Change Her Luck Bridgeport, Conn. — Gertrude A. Sweezer, age 36, (white), was married to Clarence L. Phillips, a truck driver, at Walters A. M. E. Zion church, June 23. The bride was recently divorced. "I was married to a white man," she said, "and he mistreated me. It isn't the color of the skin that counts. I expect the man with black skin will treat me better than the man with white." The couple may live in the bride's home near the railroad, where she keeps a boarding house. Gas-Filling Station Workers. Gas-Filling Station Workers. Indianapolis, Ind.—The Standard Oil Company of Indiana has recently instituted the policy of employing Afro-Americans in some of its gas filling stations. This company operates in a section of the middle west in which our people live in large cities, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City are so situated, and in each one of these cities, with the possible exception of Detroit, a few of our men are employed. In Chicago they are in exclusive charge of two filling stations; in St. Louis one; and in Minneapolis one; and employed as attendants in Springfield, Illinois and Kansas City, Mo. and Cleveland. They are also operating great greasing stations in Chicago. Atty. Alex. H. Martin, counsel for the company, won a victory for The Archer I, & A. Ins. Co., June 25, when he secured a ruling from the Court of Appeals, holding that certain claims, amounting to upwards of $30,000 which various persons were attempting to saddle on the company, were fraudulent and in violation of law. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS BY SOUTHERN DISFRANCHISEMENT OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF REPUBLI CANS. COLORED AND WHITE. The Tremendous Advantage of the Political Power Illegally Held by a Small White Democratic Oligarchy in the South—"Dictator of the Nation". Los Angeles, Calif.—Southern disfranchisement has brought about such distortion of political power that a small white oligarchy in the South is the dictator of the nation, declared Editor Wm. E. Du Bois in the keynote address, last week Wednesday night, which opened the nineteenth annual conference here of the N.A.A. C. P. Du Bois pointed out that the barring of citizens (Republicans, colored and white) from the polls in southern cities had transferred political power into the hands of a small group of whites, as many as from 80 to 90 per cent, of voters in far southern states refraining from voting in the election of 1920. Among the states where this abstention from use of the ballot was most pronounced are the following and their percentage of non-voters: South Carolina . . . 92 per cent Mississippi . . . 91 " " Georgia . . . 89 " " Louisiana . . . 86 " " Texas . . . 84 " " Arkansas . . . 79 " " Alabama . . . 79 " " Florida . . . 72 " " The consequence in political distortion was that where it took 85-759 votes to elect a Representative in Congress to elect California, and 91-785 in Ohio, citizens in southern states enjoyed in some cases ten times as much political power as citizens in the North, as follows: South Votes for Representative State South Carolina 9,449 Mississippi 10,312 Georgia 12,919 Louisiana 15,733 Texas 22,973 Virginia 23,100 Alabama 24,107 North Indiana 97,108 New York 67,338 Kansas 71,278 New Jersey 75,333 Illinois 77,425 "The barring of Republicans (colored and white) from the polls in the South encourages oligarchy. enables cliques to nullify simply the 14th and 15th Amendments but the 19th, giving the right to vote to women. And, finally, it entirely vitilifies the normal distribution of voting power throughout the nation," said Du Bols. "It accomplishes this not simply by disfranchising Republicans. The population in southern states has doubled and by reason of woman suffrage the voting population ought to have quadrupled; but actually, as a matter of fact, the voting population has increased less than 50 per cent showing that not two million citizens been disfranchised but also more than two million whites." Du Bols quoted from an address of Henry W. Anderson, a white politician of Virginia, who asserted that in southern states the qualification to vote is so limited that government and other state officers "sometimes elected by less than ten per cent of the population of voting age." "At the event of a presidential election, singular compilations are made. The Democrats can start out assuming the votes of 11 southern states with, at present, 124 of the 531 electoral votes. They need to fight therefore for only 142 electoral votes to have the majority of the electoral college. If the Republican must leave out of the 142 electoral votes at the start and of the other 407 electoral votes they can afford to lose only 141. But if this is the plight of the Republicans, what can be said of any third party? It simply has no chance at all. As sure as fate some day there is coming in this country a political controversy with social and economic roots which is going to open suddenly the question as to why the South has the West and why New England, with its disfranchised foreign workers, has more political voice than the West. The protest is not coming simply from northerners or 'friends' of the Afro-American. It is even coming from the South itself. This is no more question of parish or section or race. It is a vast and pressing problem of democracy and civilization. We must decide, and decide soon, what persons, what public opinion it will be the public opinion of a small select group of persons of Nordic descent? Shall it be the public opinion of the rich controllers of capital? Shall it be the public opinion of college grad- --- THE GAZETTE is the oldest and has the largest bona fide circulation in Ohio, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans published in this or any other country.

Or shall we try to make it the public opinion of all intelligent adults? Editor Wm. E. Du Bois. Whatever public opinion rules, it must rule freely and clearly without a system of rotten boroughs and without discrimination and cheating. The clearing up and settling of this great question is the vastest problem that faces the United States, today, and we must begin its solution now." SOUTHERN "CIVILIZATION". Two More Lynch-Murdered By a Mississippi Mob of White Brutes—Only "Charged", Not Convicted. Brook Haven, Miss.—Two Afro-Americans were lynch-murdered here Friday night, by a barbaric mob of several hundred brutes who forced their way into the Lincoln county jail and took the prisoners, charged only with assaulting white citizens. The mob brushed aside an augmented force of citizens, guarding the jail, and battered in entrance with the unpleasant victims with a rope tied about his neck was dragged through the city streets by an auto before being carried out of town and lynch-murdered. The other was hurried off in a car in the opposite direction and hanged from Old Brook bridge, one and one-half miles from Great O'Culver (O'Culver's southern American civilization, especially that of Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. OUR'S MORE THAN ONE-FIFTH Of The Total Number of Families Aided By the Associated Charities, Last Year. Of 7,245 families aided by the Associated Charities, last year, 1,497 were ours. These statistics were gathered from a recent association report. Families, native-born of native parentage numbered 2,900 and families of American citizens of foreign birth numbered 2,885 families. The families aided included 4,485 married couples and 10 single men and women. Of the families of foreign origin, the Italians led and the Polish were second in number receiving aid. Of the 45 nationalities represented the Danes and Albanians received the least aid. Unemployment led the list of problems encountered by these workers. It was the problem in 3,646 cases, indebtedness in 2,005 and physical care in 2,908 cases. Domestic difficulties were handled 1,021 times and 1,012 items, of undesirable neighborhoods. The Associated Charities which now is the oldest charitable organization in the city, having been organized in 1884, is the largest beneficiary agency of the Community Fund and its work consists of giving aid "promptly to families in which destination exists, re-establishment of the family on a normal basis of clothes and transients, and education of the community in social activities." The Sewing Center, at 2525 Euclid Ave. and Wayfarers' Lodge, at 2164 Chester Ave., are also maintained by the Associated Charities. Mrs. Kilty S. Mitchell, and Dr. and Mrs. Oliver A. Taylor of Crawford Rd., recently entertained, honoring Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Ford of Garfield. Mrs. Ford was formerly Mrs. Laura Daw of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Basey, E. 85th St. on a recent auto trip to Dr. and Mrs. F. S. Lee's, Bainbridge Rd., Chagrin Falls.

Dr. John Hope of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., and Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University, Washington, D. C. are worth more to the race than a national convention hall full of Ben Davises and Perry Howards. The "Negro" is not the only citizen in the South disfranchised. There are thousands of white Republicans down there that are disfranchised just as much as the so-called "Negro". Just why Afro-American speakers and writers insist upon ignoring this fact and failing to call the attention of the general public, here in the North, to this fact, we have never been able to understand. When whites do it, the reason is obvious. --- Will any of our esteemed contemporaries answer this one? If the German-Republicans, Irish Republicans, or those of almost any other class of members of the party, were so grossly mistreated, as were ours, at the recent Kansas City Republican national convention, would prominent representatives of their class dare strive to head a separate "national committee or bureau" of the party for their people? It is not difficult to understand why the Republican National Committee at Kansas City had absolutely no respect for our people, and too with Ben Davis and Perry Howard members of the committee! Lord, have mercy! HAGAN DEPENDABLE! Our people of the entire city appreciate Safety Director Barry's and Chief Graul's order transferring Capt. Andrew Hagan to special duty at Woodland Hills park, in charge of four mounted policemen. There was a riot at the swimming pool there, last fall, and Chief Graul said that Hagan was sent out to prevent a recurrence, this year. And he'll do it, too! Hagan is one of the younger captains and an active officer, Graul said, who is ideal for such work. The chief could have added and truthfully, that Capt. Hagan is one of the best officers, young or old, in the department. We are certainly pleased greatly to know that he is in charge at Woodland Hills and have no hesitancy in assuring our people of Mt. Pleasant and that part of the city, served by the Woodland Halls bathhouse and swimming pool, that there will be no trouble while Capt. Hagan is in charge. They can depend absolutely on that. That sure is "a hot one", and the TRUTH, too. If our readers have not done so, as a life-long Republi-can we urge them to get a copy of any newspaper, of last week Wednesday, that carried the Bowers speech. It will pay you, many times over, for a careful reading. There was absolutely nothing to compare with it delivered in either of the two recent national conventions. FINKLE AND FLEMING, HEAR! The facilities for the accommodation of tuberculosis patients in the city sanitarium at Warrensville are wholly inadequate. Scores of "T. B." sufferers in the early stages of the dreaded disease are on the waiting list of Health Commissioner H. L. Rockwood, a very fine man and an exceptionally efficient official. If City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins has "any money left from the sale of the Jewish Orphanage property in Woodland Ave. and the purchase of property for recreational purposes contemplated," it should be used to provide the additional accommodations so sadly attended at the sanitarium in Warrensville Farm Colony. Here is another opportunity for Councilmen Tom Fleming and Herman Finkle to do something very MATERIAL for the good and welfare of all of the people of the community and particularly for those of our people on that waiting list, referred to in the foregoing. Come now, Messrs. Finkle and Fleming and show your constituents of the third district just how much you value the lives of their quota on that waiting list. HOPKINS FAVORS "JIM CROW". City Manager Hopkins' espousal of Councilman Gregg's "jim-crow" hospital scheme will make "ALL" of our voters support the Davis Amendment, next time. Nearly all of them did so, last fall, and more of them supported it, this spring. Next time, all the support Hopkins and the charter will receive from local Afro-Americans will be that of the three or four "Negro" doctors who have been supporting the "jim crow" project from the first and maybe Gregg. Our voters of the third district will take care of Gregg if he dares to be a candidate for re-election. Meantime, Gregg's latest Democratic "jim crow" resolution should be buried so deep by the Republican members of City Council that even his "cracker" candidate for vicepresident, Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas who as Governor of that state sat supinely by and allowed other Arkansas "crackers" to lynch-murder "Negroes" at will, will be unable to resurrect it. SMITH, ROBINSON, HOOVER AND CURTIS. When the Democrats nominated Joe Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic floor-leader of the U. S. Senate, as their candidate for vice-president they robbed Gov. Al Smith of New York of his chance to win. Even with the drys and anti-Catholics against him, popular Al had that chance. But, adding that Arkansas pro-lynching "cracker", with the deep-rooted and long-standing prejudice throut the North against electing any southern "rebel" president or vice-president of this great country, was too much of a burden for any human being, especially one situated politically as Al is just at this time, to bear and win, this fall. Mark our prediction! Be it ever so painful, made so by the Republican National Committee's insulting and humiliating Kansas City, Mo. convention arrangements (made with the consent of National Committeemen Ben Davis and Perry Howard, "Negroes), and many other party "sins" of omission and commission, as far as we are concerned, brothers and sisters, it is Hoover and Curtis for us, this fall, if we vote at all. EXCELSIOR! "EXCELSIOR". A Latin name, Which bids us rise to power and fame, What the oppression, scorn and hate, Would bar us from that proud estate. Ambition is not mere Desire; It's nourished by a sacred fire; And who would conquer in the fight, Must blow the Bellows,—day and night. In mundane spheres may one aspire— To reach the heights of great desire? And, 'ere life's course is fully run, Glare, like the Eagle, at the Sun? In classic lore, the Grecian Myths, Renowned in song for God-like gifts, Shone on Parnassus' heights, so fair, That mortal flesh ne' entered there. And yet, where man has never trod, He dreams, in faith, to meet his God; And Jacob's ladder reaching up, Angels descend and fill his cup. Tho "all things come to him who walls." We will not tarry in the gates; But gird our loins for useful, Fame. Nor be contented with the name. John R. Geeen. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1928 Prime Sport News Prime Sport News That Rotten "Risko" Decision. Anyone who read the Godfrey-Risko fight-reports by rounds in the daily newspapers, last week, and failed to reach the conclusion of nearly all the sport-writers on the N. Y. daily newspapers must have been "blind" in the head, for even they received the decision in Risko's favor with disgust, it was so "raw". They frankly said the verdict was "wild" and "wild" while the Journal termed it a "wild trick decision". Ed. Frayne of the American called it "one of the most unfair decisions in pugilistic annals". Don Skene thought the verdict "strange" and gave Godfrey seven of the ten rounds. Jimmy Dawson of the Times saw Godfrey the winner as did Harry Grayson of the Telegram. Ed. Sullivan of the Graphic thought Godfrey was entitled to a draw, at least. Hype Igoe of the World said Godfrey had two rounds the best it and it and man five rounds the best it and man five rounds Cleveland has had a number of similar "decisions" in the last year or two, most often when local fighters (white) were "bested" by Afro-Americans. Tigers Lost Four. The Cleveland Tigers and Cuban Stars divided a double-header, last week Wednesday afternoon, the locals winning the first game, 14 to 4 but dropping the second, 14 to 7. In the first game every player in the Tiger lineup got at least one hit and scored at least one run. Thursday, the Stars again defeated the Tigers, 6 to 5, in the last of the five-game series. The local team won but two games. Including, recently obtained from Chicago, pitched good ball for the Tigers in one game, but errors let in several runs and lost it. Chicago, Ill.—The Cleveland Tigers scored a shutout out the Chicago American Giants, 1 to 0, when Dean bested Treadwell in a pitchers' battle here, Sunday afternoon. Chicago won the nightcap, 4 to 0. Sensational fielding on the part of Davis at second and Bobo at first brought the crowd to its feet time and time again. Jeffries scored twice, coming in from second on a hit and run play while Hawkins took Summer's rap and tossed to Russ, who fell over second for the forceout, Jeffries sliding under Hines to beat the relay to the plate. Gans and Yarbo Win "Baby" Joe Gans, the young Afro-American fighter from the Pacific coast, who so decisively defeated Tommy Jones (white), the game young southerner, at Olympic Arena, this city, Monday evening, in ten rounds, has had 101 fights, scoring knockouts in exactly 52 of them, an average of better than one in two. One kayo in five fights is considered an excellent average and is seldom exceeded by even the men reputed to be hard punches. Further, Gans won all of the Coiaison at six kills several of these were unfair, and in all the fights has not once been floored. Included among the victims of Gans are "Mushy" Callahan, junior welterweight titleholder, and Hilario Martinez, the Spanish welter who knocked Sid Terris down four times and defeated him, last fall. Gans' kayo victims are some of the best fighters on the coast, five known there, five thousand spectators, were in the arena, Monday night, to see Joe slam Tommy hard in the second round, having him nearly thru the ropes in the fourth, half out of them in the sixth and eighth under a smothering barrage of right crosses, smashing left hooks and a battering body-attack. In the tenth, Gans was still sliding, sliding forward, as always, carrying the fighter, so he could lift back and solid straight right that were the telling blows. Tommy did not come near winning a round. He weighed 140 1/2 lbs. and Gans, 138 lbs. The other Afro-American fighter at the Olympic, Monday night, was Wilson Yarbo of this city who recently returned from the coast. He scored a technical knockout over Vic McLaughlin, a New York Irishman, who went down for the count of nine in the first round, and again in the second. This bout was ended in the fourth when the towel was thrown in the ring. Yarbo had celebrated his home coming with a victory.

AURORA" Visits the Hollenden Shop and Endorses His Father's View That It Is "the Best Barber Shop in the World". In vermilion lettering on the marble wall of the Hollenden barbers- hop, a legend reads: "The best barber shop in the world"—Elbert Hubbard. Elbert Hubbard II arrived in the city, last week Wednesday, and tried it. He rubbed his chin and pronounced his famous father's words correct. He renewed old acquaintances with the proprietor, George A. Myers, "the only barber in the world the author and lecturer allowed to trim his well known leeks." Myers hauled out two of the early copies of the book that George A. Myers' Hubbard started in 1895 to use his rejected manuscripts and which formed the nucleus of his publishing plant at East Aurora, N. Y., now known as the Roycrofters. The magazines were well-thumbed and are among Myers' most precious possessions. Elbert II is now head of the Roycrofters. He was in Cleveland to see his two daughters off to try her father, and back to East Aurora, last week Thursday morning, after trying another shave in "the best barber shop in the world." The Department of Computer Science The Democrat's "Color-Line". Houston, Tex.—Each locality should work out the race problem in its own way, George R. Vanamee, Smith campaign manager, said when asked in a newspaper conference about the fact that Afro-American spectators at the Democratic national convention were put in a small section caged off from other spectators by heavy chicken feed. "I never noticed the section in the hall," Vanamee said. "Whatever arrangements were made were made by Jesse James and the local (Houston) commission. We had nothing to do with it. I understand they have worked out the situation down here so that both races are satisfied. (A joke.) That is a problem every locality must deal with itself and that is good (?)

Wing, executive secretary of the Anti-Tuberculosis League suggested an organization be formed to improve housing, particularly from a sanitation viewpoint. The suggestion was made by the Houston H. L. Rockwood who presided, and he believed a great work could be accomplished within a year or two, thru the co-operation of city officials and social agencies. Daniel Shaw, age 33, 12014 Hirst Ave., who claims to be assistant pastor of Messiah Baptist Church, E. 46th and Woodland Ave., was fined $50 and costs and sent to the workhouse for 30 days by Municipal Judge David Moylan, last Saturday, Detectives Donovan and Smith saw Shaw at E. 101st St. and Euclid Ave., last week Friday night. They questioned him. "I'm all right," he said, producing a bible. The detectives "frisked" him, found a blackjack in a hip pocket and took him to a carry-in concealed weapon, carrying concealed weapons. The charge in court was reduced to "suspicious person." Shaw explained that he was out late at night, at times, spreading the gospel and that he carried the black jack to protect himself, and he and all others sure need one or more in "The Roaring Third" where there is practically no police protection.

Safety Director Barry, it seems, had to threaten the officers of the fourth precinct with suspension in order to have his instructions to arrest carried out. Robt. Doyle, Wm. Casterlin and Mike Ciglo (whites) were charged with suffocation. Ollie Hancock and Harry Washum were charged with gambling. Some of the names seem to be fictitious.

Mrs. George A. Myers, 10923 Pasadena Ave., Tuesday offered a reward for the return of jewelry stolen when her home was burglarized, a week ago. The burglar's loot included two diamond rings, two gold watches and two sets of diamond ear rings. "Because of their sentimental significance they can never be replaced and can never mean anything more than a troubled conscience to the party who took them," she said. Cleveland's own Harry C. Smith, veteran editor and former state legislator, has again entered Ohio's gubernatorial race.

More miles to the gallon of gas, less wear and tear on tires and a minimum of mechanical depreciation are the benefits gained by motorists who use well-paved roads, according to tests conducted by engineering schools, automobile clubs and government highway experts. Wear on Tires. Washington State college, in a test to determine the rate of wear on tires over various types of road surface, discovered that the average tire will go more than six times as far on concrete as on ordinary macadam. The test results were tabulated, showing the average distance traveled before failure of one type of tire, under constant load and speed, on four kinds of road. Macadam ..... 5,900 miles Good gravel ..... 6,200 miles Bittulithic ..... 26,700 miles Concrete ..... 40,500 miles Gas Consumption. Gasoline consumption tests conducted by a motor-car manufacturer gave the following mileage per gallon seven types of road: Earth ..... 5.78 Fair gravel ..... 7.19 Good gravel ..... 9.29 Pooruminous macadam ..... 9.48 Fair brick ..... 9.88 Good brick ..... 11.44 Concrete ..... 11.78 The pull required to move one ton on ordinary earth and gravel roads was shown, by the University of California tests, to be very nearly ten times as much as on concrete. Tire wear and mechanical depreciation were found to be greatly reduced in driving over smooth, hard concrete. Great Britain Resents Not so many years ago British motor car makers were inclined to look deprecatingly upon the appearance qualities of the America . automobile. Today that situation has been reversed. Authority for the statement is found in remarks made before the metropolitan section of the Society of Automotive Engineers by A. E. P. Phillips, an officer of the Society of Motor Manufacturer; and Trades, of London. "You beat us all hollow in the matter of appearance," Mr. Phillips declared. "There is no question of it, and they are feeling that very much in England." Old Tire Casings Used as Sandals in Mexico Greek peasants and poorer Mexican workers are finding a new use for old American tires. The Greeks have substituted rubber for the laced strip of leather which formerly composed the tchark of the villagers. According to advices received by the Department of Commerce, at least 50,000 casings are being imported yearly by Greece; while Mexico is less dependent upon outside sources on account of the availability of used casings produced on a small scale in their own country. TEST NEW AUTOMO An interesting invention was successfully tested in Berlin. It consists of a safety bar of rubber fixed to the front of the car, which owing to its elastic qualities, is capable of weakening the shock of a collision even though the car is traveling at a fair rate of speed. The photo shows (upper)—The front of a car with the new safety device and (lower) a car which ran against a tree at a speed of 15 miles per hour. Thanks to the new safety device the car remained undamaged.

"Shoo Fly, Don't Bother Me," Autoist Now Says The annoyance of having bugs fly into the open windows of automobiles while driving through the country will be a thing of the past, according to a resident of Baltimore, who has just received his papers from the patent office on an invention for screens for auto windows. Bugs have not only been annoying to the motorists, but have been the cause of serious accidents by flying through the windshield and either biting or destroying the vision of the driver. This new device is designed to keep out the very smallest objects that fly through the air. The screens on all windows are worked by the same lever that opens and closes the glass window and is operated in a way that when the window goes down the screen fills the open space. The screen itself is made of a special material that is so designed that you can see through it very easily and will not obstruct your view. ..... AUTOMOBILE HINTS ..... The annual blowout and detour season is at hand. Burning or warping because of improper adjustment is the most frequent cause for replacement of motor valves. In New York state alone it is expected that the amount of money invested in automobiles by the end of 1928 will run close to $1,800,000,000. The wild automobile driver who keeps his foot on the accelerator is protected more or less by the wise locomotive engineer whose hand never leaves the throttle. Engine sluggishness may be traceable to a defective ignition coil. A new coil frequently increases not only power, speed and pick-up, but gasoline mileage as well.

SUMMER REGISTERS VOGUE FOR HATS OF LACE OR LACY STRAW THE HAT MILADY'S CHOICEST LINGERIE IS HANDSOMELY LACE-LADEN X IT IS difficult to imagine anything in the name of millinery more lovely, more stylish, or more flattering than are the new summer hats which express themselves in lacy effects. Not only is lace itself ascendent in the realm of millinery but lacy straw, or in other words, lace made out of straw, is one of the charming ideas exploited this season. The revival of Tuscan lace straw is one of the very happy happenings of millinery for this summer. Its quaint work-imparts to dressy hats that touch of the exquisite which is so dear to the feminine heart. At garden party and formal summer scenes, one beholds the Tuscan straw picture hat exploited as it has not been for many and many a season past. One of the entrancing lace Tuscan straw hats, a Paris creation, by the way, is pictured in the lower left corner of this group. It has a banding of pastel satin. It is just such extreme types as this which are an aweering call of picturesque summery frocks, for hats to wear with MILADY'S CHOICES IS HANDS THAT simplicity is the best policy may to apply milady's daytime apparel, but it does not, this season, extend to her wear for slumberland and her dainty undergarments. While the practicality of tailored lingerie is recognized, and the well appointed wardrobe should always include a dependable supply, still when it comes to present prevailing sentiment, fancy is turning to underthings whose enchanting colors and enrichment of lace bespeak a super-loveliness. As to the colors most in favor at the moment it seems as if certain shades of blue are in the lead, such as turquoise and the very new and popular lido blue. Nice green and peach are also well liked. Brides are mostly choosing either white, cream or some one or the other of the new pinks for their trousseau lingerie. Not only is lace lending its beautifying presence to a generous degree, but it is most ingeniously employed. It refuses to confine itself to conventional vokes and hems, but invigiles y Your Co or an Acqu them, which shall accent the spirit of ultra-charm and femininity. It is interesting too, to discover that Tuscan braid has also entered the realm of millinery. To be sure, not in such emphatically lacy a form as the dresser modes adopt, but nevertheless the openwork theme is expressed in a discreet and appropriate way. There is the smart vagabond sports hat shown in the bottom oval—it, too, is of Tuscan straw, being an open patterned braid sewed row and row. If hats are not of lacy straw, then they are very apt to be all of lace. Daintiest of white all-over lace makes the "hat beautiful," as shown in the group at the top to the left. Cloches of lace like this one and similar to the one with the ribbon trim centered to the left are representative of the very latest in millinery. They are of beguiling loveliness, these lace chapenax which fashion is highlighting and their vogue is sweeping throughout the country. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. ( @ 1928 Newman Paper ) T LINGERIE OMELY LACE-LADEN itself into the scheme of things in most unexpected and whimsical ways. In some instances the garment is so lacy that it almost if not quite becomes a half-and-half proposition of lace and material. There is a tendency to applique motifs of lace in an elaborate way, cutting out the material from underneath. A new note is sounded in that deep ecru laces often take the place of the usual white or cream. These darker toned laces are employed not only for the pastel-colored garments, but they trim white as well. Especially effective are the ecru laces on white satin and this combination is proving popular for bridal sets. The garments in this picture express the trend of the new lace trims. The nightbrake to the left is silk, while in destructible voile is the chosen material for the chemise combination. Each of these models accent the waistline.

My dear Mr. Smith:—This is to congratulate you on entering your name as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio and to assure you of my intention of voting for you. I will not be my first time to do so. I expect as usual to be told that I am "throwing away my vote" but since we seldom are aware of anything else than throwing away our votes in voting for candidates of either party, that protest will not agitate me at all. If all of the two hundred votes in this state would do the same, every political and social problem would soon be cleared up. And that would be worth more than the election of any one man to any one office. Ever since 1922, Ohio has had one Democratic governor. Three primary elections and three regular elections, making six in all, have been held in the last six years. There have been at least a score of candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor and three Republican candidates for Governor, in that period of time. Every vote cast for any and all of these candidates, totaling twenty-five or twenty-six at least, "was thrown away", because all were defeated, either at the primaries or on election days, and this includes the vote of every Afro-American in the state of Ohio who voted at any primary or regular election, or both, in the last six years. This proves the correctness of the statement in the foregoing communication from Mrs. Dovie King Clarke, wife of the pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church, Columbus, and one of the brightest women in the state of Ohio, without reference to race, class or group. She has sensed the matter and got it correct, and those "Negroes" in the state who like parrots repeat the "throwing away vote" talk given them for a purpose obvious by shrewd white politicians of their communities, ought to sit up and take notice particularly of the two points made in Mrs. Clarke's letter. If we ever expect to get anywhere in the political and civil life of this great commonwealth of Ohio, we have simply got to stop being parrots and do our own thinking and voting. If Ohio Afro-Americans will only register, they will have easily fifty thousand more votes than would be necessary to nominate one of their own as a Republican candidate for any state office and to elect him, too, providing of course they will do their own thinking and voting as do the loyal, self and race respecting members of every other racial group or class of voters in the state and country. Mrs. Clarke is entirely correct in what she has written. Will Ohio Afro-Americans heed? Two years ago, when a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio, we received more votes than five or six of the eight white candidates for the same nomination. That was glory enough for that time. This time, we should win and will do so, if our people will but do their clear duty—register and vote right! There is not an outstanding candidate for the nomination, the four or five candidates being very "ordinary". BEATY AND COOPER. The Hon. A. Lee Beaty of Cincinnati, ex-member of the Ohio legislature and former assistant U. S. district attorney in southern Ohio is one of the signers of Myers Y. Cooper's declaration of candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor. This fact has caused an endless amount of caustic criticism because it is a miserable insult to all of the loyal, self and race respecting Afro-Americans in the state of Ohio Myers Y. Cooper, the Republican candidate for Governor two years ago, was defeated as a result of the refusal of thousands of our voters throut the state to support his candidacy because of the insulting discrimination he thrusts upon our people of his city and county in business dealings. Beaty and Cooper live in Cincinnati. The former knows of the latter's color-line activity. Regardless of this, Beaty signed Cooper's declaration of candidacy, undoubtedly with a purpose obvious—to help Cooper get Afro-American votes. May God forgive him! Beaty when a member of the Ohio legislature, introduced a bill to amend our Ohio Civil Rights law which, if enacted by the State Assembly, would have greatly weakened the law. Luckily the bill was never enacted. Why he ever introduced it, we have never learned. It was doubtless but a move similar to his recent signing of Cooper's declaration of candidacy to the progress of our people in community, state and nation is just such most reprehensible action upon the part of members of the race who pose as local, state or national leaders.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lyching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury 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 the assault is made (93 v. 161 4). Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. 12 5). Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed $10,000, ages 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 rejoices, and the child shares. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, 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 the person so lynched, nor subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob as 165.13 (v. 162.7.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162.7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to inquire into the case of the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162.8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9. 1) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or dead. In such cases, any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, 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 falling to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: **UBS.** ed. representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. nst member of mob nst another county. 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 1884: 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 crimes and regardless of race or color. In the case of accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be finited 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 fifty dollars, and, if the son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Mislied by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaverton Publics 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 in the Beacon-Journal, of this I venture to send you, under a separate letter, a copy of the porter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard B. 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, there would have been no occasion to complain to the LAW OF OHO IS UNDER PROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULLEST BLOOT." My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report. Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled, There is no flesh in man's ob- durate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power. To evince 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. Reading It or Reading It
