The National Afro-American Democratic convention, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, in Zion Hall Baptist church, this city was a surprise in several ways. Possibly the biggest was the high quality of its attendants. James A. Ross of Buffalo, president, presided. Ample preparations for the care of the convention, which was visitors made by Messrs. Wainwright, Walter Atty, Peter Boult of this city, and everything moved on smoothly and satisfactorily. Considerable feeling was very properly shown against Councilman E. J. Gregg, who after consenting to make an official (for the city) address of welcome to his Democratic co-workers, side-stepped the assignment, falling to materialize the here in the city. The mass meeting in the church, Tuesday evening, brought out some very able attendees, social and eight-trips and a picnic were features of the meet. The convention's resolutions and address to the country backed the candidacy of Gov. Al Smith for President and compared him to Abraham Lincoln whose humble origin "was like that of Smith's"; rapped prohibition, asserting that "no man should be told whether he shall eat a beef-steak, or drink a glass of beer." The convention also decided to ask the Democrat not only to give committee to appoint President Reagan of the party's Afro-American bureau. Our people were urged to vote for Smith, because the resolution stated, he believed in equal opportunity for all.

Jo Baker Goes to Sweden. Stockholm, Sweden. — The lithe, "high-brown" former Harlem, N.

Walker, a West Indian, who does not vote, it is said, "getting on the nerves" of some of our active local Republicans who are asking why he does not register and vote. Chairman Maschke may be able to explain, they say. Current rumor has it that Atty. Chas. W. White, president of the N. A. A. C. P. local branch, sure "called Councilman Gregg's hand" at the Conservative Voters' league meet, the other meeting, for opposing his very proper motion to urge all our people to support ALL of our candidates at the Aug. 14 primary. Councilman Gregg, the City Council as a Democratic member, seems to be persona non grata, "oushgseel" or "in bad" just at this time with the Democrats, the independent Republicans who elected him and the regular Republicans. He sure has boosted himself into a bad corner. And just think of it his housing "rally" cry has been "shot all to pieces", too. --- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE CANDIDATES' PERSONALITY AND NOT PLATFORMS COUNT THIS TIME, HE SAYS. Both Party Platforms the Same as Far as Our People Are Concerned—Republicans Ignore the 14th and 15th Amendments While in Power at the Nation's Capital—Hoover! Discussing the Presidential campaign, in its relation to the political and economic future of the Afro-American, Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of the A. M. E. Church told the College Students' club at St. James' Presbyterian church, St. Nicholas Ave. and 141st St., yesterday, that Gov. Al Smith offered greater promise than Mr. Hoover. He is asking the platform of the two parties," he said, "and the personality of the candidates will be the decisive element in the campaign. This being so, that of Gov. Alfred E. Smith is far more heartening and attractive. "Whatever we may think of the Democratic party, whose standard bearer he is, through his entire political life he has known the Negro as a factor to be reckoned with in the politics of his city and his state. We cherish no illusions with regard to his party. It is the same old Democratic party. It is the party, Mr. Hoover represents is not the same 'Grand Old Republican Party.' The Republican party wrote the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments into the Consti- "THROWING AWAY VOTES". Columbus, O. June 22, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. 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. This 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 or are aware of the matter that protest will not agitate me at all. If all of the two hundred thousand voters of our group 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 Mrs. Dove King's communication from 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 have simply got to have easily fifty thousand more votes, 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 is not the case. This time, we should win and will do so, if our people will but do their 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 pub-shed in this or any other country.

The Same as Far as Our People publicans Ignore the 14th events While in Power at Capital—Hoover! tution. If they have long since been evaded or nullified by southern Democracy, it is because a long succession of Republican administrations, in full control of every department of the Government, has silently acquiesced in these evasions. "The Republicans inserted a spinless plank in their platform in regard to the Eighteenth Amendment, while it is silent on the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, which go to the very roots of our republican government—namely, the right to vote. "Republicans will find in this campaign that the Negro vote cannot be swayed, as of old, by conjuring with the name of Abraham Lincoln, while there stands before us in the person of Gov. Al Smith, a man who in sagacity and the common touch of human sympathy, is more like Lincoln than any candidate for President since Lincoln's day. "The attitude of Gov. Al Smith toward the Negro has never been patronizing, or that of a demagogue. With him they are just a part of the folks, counting for what they are worth. Under him there is a brighter day of hope for all classes of American citizens." 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. Cooper's candidacy for Governor two years ago, was defeated as a result of the refusal of thousands of our voters throughout 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, unifiedly in a message to help Cooper get 400 American votes. "God forgive me! 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. The progress of the country, the progress of the county, state and nation, is just such most reprehensible action upon the part of members of the race who pose as local, state and national leaders. Lord have mercy!" DR. SIMON P. DREW OUR CANDIDATE FOR VICE PRESIDENT OF U. S. Washington, D. C., July 22, 1928. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Honorable Sir:—Accept my sincerest congratulations on your candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of the state of Ohio. You have a living record of public service which you have rendered to our race of fifteen million loyal American citizens. I trust our good people of the state of Ohio will rally solidly to your support. I wish also to inform you that on June 4, 1928, I was duly nominated as a candidate for Vice President of the United States by the Interracial Independent Political party, and Gen. Jacob S. Coxey (white) of Massillon, Ohio, nominated for President. We will be notified of our nomination, Aug. 6, 1928, in this city. With best wishes, I remain, Very truly yours, (Rev. Simon P. W.

MeMorris, on the City Hos- pital staff, without opening that public institution to our internes, and girls desiring to enter its school for nurses, will NOT suffice and some one should so notity City Man- ager Hopkins and his subordinate, Mr. Dudley Blossom. We are going open that public institution to Afro-American CITIZENS if we have to take the matter into the courts, and clear to the State Supreme Court. That is all there is to THAT! We are CITIZENS and not pariahs, to be treated as some or any pre- Judiced sap-head official may think we should be. ‘The Republican national commit- teewomen at Washington, D. C., the first of the week, were simply try- ing to keep up with the male members of the committee, who did their dirtiest at Kansa City, recently, in an effort to “kow tow” to the Ku Klux Klan (for its vote) by segregating and oth- erwise insulting Afro-American del- egates and others, Between the two, they sure have succeeded in driving thousands of Afro-Americans in every northern state from Hoover and Curtis to the support of Gov. Al Smith and the Interracial Indepen- dent Political party's candidate for vice-president, Rey. Simon P. W. Drew, an Afro-American Baptist minister of Washington, D. C. John R. Hawkins and Robert R. Moton ought to have too much man- hood, self and race respect to want to be head of Hoover and Curtis’ “im crow” bureau of the Republican national committee or any other par- ty organization. It is difficult for us to believe that they are permitting their “friends” to urge their selec- tion for the position. Only such per- sons as Ben Dayis, Perry Howard and other “Negro” delegates who voted with the Hoover “steam-rol- ler” to bar our southern delegations and seat “lily-white” delegations from that section, in the recent Kan- sas City convention, are really elig- ible for appointment to the undesir- able job. Congressman James T. Begs of Sandusky, in a leaflet he is distribut- ing, quotes “The A. M. E.

The Review does not say that Mr. Begg ever did or even said anything in or out of the Congress of direct interest to our pegple. Of course, we do not know what the campaign sheets, The Re- view and the leaffet, cost Guberna- torial Candidate Begs any more than we know how much it cost Candidate Myers Y.

Weber, white, of N. Y. City), before the close ‘of the present run of “Broad way." Joo Weber, national presi dent of the musicians’ organization, had ordered Waldon and his orches tra out of the theater, Waldon said in court, Saturday. “I'm in between, on this row.” Waldon said. “B.D, Haug, business agent of the white local, wanted his men in the theater. ‘They first tried to get uy out on the charge that we were working below the union scale, ‘That didn't work. Then Haug went to New York. This morning (uly 21), I got orders from Weber to pull my orchestra (take it out of the theater). It's simply a row be- tween the white and colored locals.” E. P. Strong, vice president of the theater compatiy, told Judge Powell that Waldon and his orchestra had deen employed to play for the rum of the show and had been especially trained in their cues. The orchestra plays incidental music backstage.— The Cleveland Press, July 21, "28 ‘The writer, the editor of The Ga- zotte, then a musician, helped to or- ganize the local musicians’ union, the first in Cleveland, many sears ago, and was elected a member of lis first executive comimittee, recely- ing more votes than any other mem- FUBBY THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0., SATURDAY, JULY 238, race, a leading local musician at the) time, and still a resident of this city, was also elected a member of the executive committee at the same meeting. All its other members were “white.” The members of this mixed (as to race or group) union got along beautifully together for years and until there came to Cleveland some years ago, “Negro” musicians from the South who were insistent on having “a separate union for Ne- groes” (doubtless encouraged by prejudiced “white” musicians), so some of them could get all of the offices of a local organization, they said. They were given the “jim crow” union asked and of course got the offices they hungered for. This’ fs the way “Jim crow Negro” teachers sometimes get positions— when they and their “Jim crow” friends (colored and “white") tn- sist upon separate or “jim crow" schools in northern cities and towns. Ku Kluxers are always ready and willing to promote segregation. This same desire for “a job" 1s all that Is behind the local effort of two or three “Negro” doctors who advocate a “jim crow” hospital for Cleveland. ‘They, like the “jim crow” teachers referred to and those local ‘jim crow Negro” musicians, of some years ago, would have positions or jobs at any ‘expense to the race and its vital in- terests, We warned the latter, the “Negro” musicians, of the inevitable ‘result of such foolaction as they contemplated, but in vain. We have repeatedly warned our people of this community and the few “jim crow Negro” doctors, who have thus far failed in their effort to establish a “Jim crow” hospital, that it would sooner or Inter clone the doors of e¥ ery other hospital in the city t our people, and now we are again doing the same thing only in a little dit- ferent way. We have a concrete ex- ample in this Al Waldon orchestra— “jim crow” and white musicians’ unions “squabble” which would ney- er have been possible but for the fact of the existence of the local “jim crow” union. When colored and “white” musicians were members of the one union, we helped to organize and “put on its feet,” many years ago, there was never any such frlc- tion, nor would such be possible now but for the organization of that “Jim crow” tail to the old union’s kite. And ‘jim crow Negroes”, anxious for ‘a job and positions as officers of a union, are directly responsible for it. A “jim crow” hospital in Cleve- land fieans a few jobs for “jim crow Negro” doctors and others and the loss of the service our people of this commamity are now enjoying in all of the hospitals of the city, among the best in the country. They would, very soon after its establishment, be told: “You have a hospital of your own, take your desperately ill mother, father, sister, brother (or whoever it might be) to your own hospital; this one is crowded" This ts exactly what we would get, and all know it, And who would want to trust the life of a near and ‘dear relative to the “tonder mer. ices” of a “jim crow Negro” doctor? Would you? Put this question to yourself. Those “jim crow Negro” local musicians, of some years ago, would not listen and we sure plead with them in behalf of those of the race in this community, largely because one “jim crow” affair of the kind always means others since “jim crow” feeds on itself and thrives especially where prejudiced “whites” are able to encourage “jim crow Ne- groes"” to apparently take the initia- tive'in such contemptible movements. Business Agent Haug (mark the name), of the “white” local union “wanted his men (‘white’) in the theater,” says Waldon, and thig in the face of the fact that both unions were under the same national organ- ization; headquarters, New York City. ‘This would never have been possible with our musfeiaus members of the old or what {s now termed the “white” (Clarence Darrow says grey; no “white”) union, and Dar- row is right! In plain words, the latter organization, the “‘white” or rather grey one we mean, was simply trying to play the hog under a Haug’s leadership, and would have gotten away with it, too, but for the righteous intervention of the court Judge Powell's “restraining order” or injunction did the business and again proved the absolute necessity for the injunction in law. May the! good Lord have mercy on the “jim crow Negro” and encourage man- hood, self and race respect among our people, is our prayer. MYERS Y. COOPER Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati was from 115,000 to 350,000 below (in votes) previous Republican candi- dates for governor. “Golor-Line”” Cooper was also weak in Hamilton county, where he lives! Our voters cannot vote for him! In 1924, Harry L. Davis of Cleveland received 88,845, votes for governor in Hamilton county; in 1926, Cooper received only 64,544 votes in his own county (Hamilton). It was mainly the re- fusal of our yoters to support Cooper two years ago, because of his color Hine activities in his business, prin- cipally, that brought about his de- feat. He 1s as open, today, to the colorline charge as he was then. ‘The result is that an Ohio Afro- American who knows this and can support Myers Y. Cooper, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor at this time, surely must be totally lacking in manhood, self and race respect. Pass the word along to all of our people that you meet. | Telephone | Personalities eS ie oe é i os -_ mA a lg Ree « a ae There is a constant demand for more telephones in Ohio, and therefore a constant growth in telephone lines and equipment. ‘The new plant must be made an integral part of the existing sys- tem, and it must be provided in advance of the need for it. ‘The plant engineers are respon- sible for planning the additions to the vatside lines. Basing their ex- tensions on estimates of growth in various parts of a community, they plan to have sufficient lines and cables added to :ake care of the demand when it is ready, without having a wasteful surplus of plant installed and lying idle. ‘The fact that during 1928 The Ohio Bell Telephone Company is spending $18,000,000 on new con- struction, all of which must be planned far in advance, gives an idea of the importance of the work done by the plant engineers. This chronicle shows some fast work on the part of Mrs, Harry Vaile, chief operator at the Sebring (Ohio) telephone exchange, and telephone men of that section. 12:18 P. M.: Fire broke out near the rear of the exchange. 12:23 P. M.: Cable containing 600 wires burned out, 12:25 P.M. Mrs. Vaile was in touch with Alliance. 1:00 P. M.: Repair forces arrived from Alliance, 1:15 P. M.: Mes- senger service was established, and-more help on the way. 4:20 P. M.: First of the 360 telephones out of service was restored. 7:00 P.M: All, lines were working again, According to the Literary Digest, the prosperity or buying power of a community can be gauged by the number of its people having telephones. At the end of the first quarter of 1928, The Ohio Bell Telephone Company had 614,- 468 telephones in service, and connecting companies in Ohio had 370,466. The Ohio Bell late in 1927 estimated a gain of 35.000 telephones in its territory for 1928, but the first tive months of the year already have shown an actual gain of more than 20,000.

The larger cities receive so great a proportion of the car load shipments of fruits and vegetables in the United States that the rest of the country might seem at first glance to be rather poorly supplied. In 1926, for example, 36 of our principal cities unloaded 58 per cent of the car lot shipments of 16 leading fruits and vegetables. Nevertheless, according to the Department of Agriculture, the distribution of fruits and vegetables throughout the country is more thorough than these figures would indicate. The explanation is largely the motor truck. Enlarging the Demand. As a matter of fact, in certain eastern areas for which information is available, the smaller markets appear to be well served with fruits and vegetables. An average of from 40 to 45 per cent of the car load receipts of box apples in 17 southern cities in 1926 were shipped out again to the surrounding territory by auto truck or in less than car load shipments. In general, the machinery for the redistribution of shipped-in fruits and vegetables to the small cities and to the rural population is fairly efficient, and the auto truck is constantly improving it. Thus in Pennsylvania from 10 to 50 per cent of the southern peaches used in 1926 in a number of cities with population ranging from 20,000 to 50,000 were brought in by truck or in less than car lot shipments from Philadelphia or Baltimore. Southern peaches are on sale in most of the small towns and villages of eastern Pennsylvania during the heavy shipping season. Many dealers in the small cities have their own trucks and make regular trips to the larger markets for supplies. It has been contended, from the fact that car lot markets, go principally to the larger markets, that more car lot shipments might profitably go to the smaller markets, many of which have cold-storage plants. This may be rather difficult with the more perishable products and these subject to sharp price fluctuations. In small markets it may take a dealer several days to dispose of a car load. Meantime, falling prices in the large, markets may enable competitors to bring in supplies by truck or in less than carload lots at prices which the car lot receiver cannot meet without heavy loss. Lower transportation charges on car lot shipments to small markets may be offset by the greater risk. By using the auto truck, the dealer in the small city often feels he has a better choice of fresh produce, and can be assured of better value in buying it. Auto Truck Used. In short, much progress has been made in enlarging the demand for fruits and vegetables by effecting a wider and more thorough distribution among the consuming population. Dealers using their own or hired trucks, and hucksters and peddlers who handle locally grown as well as shipped-in produce, have widened the area and increased the intensiveness of distribution. Their task has been made easier by the general development of the fruit and vegetable industry, which has improved the quality of product offered, lessened waste, and made perishables available throughout a longer season. Students Claim It Is Automobile driving is a good exercise and is conducive to good health. That is the conclusion drawn from a series of tests made by the medical students of the University of Wisconsin. In a bulletin issued following the investigations it is declared that driving gives a great deal of exercise to the arms and shoulder muscles, while the leg muscles get in an important amount of work in operating the brakes and clutch, especially in downtown traffic. The exercise thus gained is not strenuous, but it is regular and this is said to be an additional advantage, according to the bulletin. It is also pointed out that the car driving of today requires less effort than ever before, but at the same time requires enough effort to provide good exercise. Utopia for Pedestrians and Material I Place and Motorists Is Plan A model community planned to meet the needs of this motor age is to be built within eighteen miles of New York city. The community, which is to be named Radburn, will be located between Paterson and Hackensack, N. J. This interesting project is being promoted by the City Housing corporation and its ultimate cost will be between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000. The first unit of the town will be ready in 1929 and will accommodate 600 families. This settlement will be a self-contained community in which most of the residents will be employed locally or in the neighboring factories and business establishments. Through motor routes will be provided for fast traffic, but meetings of pedestrians with motor vehicles will be minimized by a series of parkways and garden paths by which children and their parents can walk to and from schools and shopping districts without crossing a street. Unique Pedal-Mobile Is Made Quite Convenient The photograph shows Luziarte, the famous Spanish painter, in his unique pedal-mobile. Inside are a comfortable cushion seat, his painting tools. Luziare and His Pedal-Mobile, provisions and bedding. He will tour all over Europe to sketch. Luziare's little coupe is propelled like a bicycle —only it's much more comfortable. First Endurance Run of The first endurance-run of an automobile was held in 1901, when A. L. Riker, an early maker of automobiles, started a trip from New York to Buffalo, a distance of less than 500 miles, in his own gasoline model, according to Betty Shannon and Elsie Johns in Liberty Magazine. "The car was built for 50 miles an hour, but once out of sight of brick and cobblestone it made headway with the greatest difficulty," the authors continue. "This difficulty may be imagined when it is stated that it took from Wednesday morning to Saturday noon to cover the distance from Albany to Herkimer, less than 100 miles. At Rochester the plan was abandoned because of the death of President McKinley." AUTOMOBILE ITEMS Columbus had his difficulties, but engine trouble was not one of them. It was said that the next war would be fought with gas. Correct. The auto war is now on. The city resident has his choice of being run into by a car or driven crazy by honkers. The way that castings and tubes are being reduced in price, the auto owners are having a snap. It is hardly fair to jump to the conclusion that the girl who is never home is always away on an automobile trip. She may have gone by airplane. Probably no one else can look any hotter in July than a motorist manipulating a demountable-rim tool by the roadside, unless it is the iceman's new helper. Pete De Paolo, Tony Gulotta and Harry Hartz are outstanding examples of former auto mechanics who have won places in the driver's seat of racing cars. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 28. 1928. EVEN FICKLE FASHION DOES NOT TIRE OF THE SHOULDER BOUQUET MARGARET B. CIRCULAR FLARES ACHIEVE WIDTH FOR THE MODERN HEMLINE THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY SHOULDER flowers! It's fashion's command coming straight from headquarters, one which maid and matron are taking keenest delight in obeying. There are some customs which even fickle fashion does not tire of, and this is one of them—the wearing of the shoulder bouquet. To be sure, there is a rival in the field—costume jewelry, more especially the glittering shoulder pin. By the way, have you seen those perfectly adorable snow-drop clusters made by stemming fair-sized pearl beads, using foliage formed of leaves blown of clear crystal, which are veined and stemmed in a realistic way? They sure are keen competitors to the artificial flower corsage, but even so, the shoulder bouquet survives! *And again gardenias are a favorite flower, whole clusters of them this time, trailing down from the shoulder—snow white ones for evening wear.* CIRCULAR FLARES FOR THE IT SEEMS that the modern hemline is expected to flare. There are, however, ways and ways of flaring. Between hemlines which flare before six o'clock and hemlines which flare into the formal evening hours, there is a vast difference. The daytime silhouette adopts a gentle flare, one subtly introduced at the side or front, and generally extending from a smug-fitted hipline. Furthermore it is only mildly irregular about its hemline, for no skirts are expected to "hang perfectly even" nowadays. But the evening silhouette, that is a different story. It declares bouffancy in unmistakable terms, consuming yards and yards of material in achieving its purpose of becoming extremely wide at its hemline. It is apt to burst into fullness at any point between waistline and knees, and when it comes to its hemline it casts aside all decorum and behaves in a most erratic way, dipping, plunging, circling, undulating, falling in points and scallops and other charming irregularities at sweet will. In achieving fullness for the simple daytime frock the newest styling ac y Your Co or an Acqu The new beige ones are tremendously smart to wear on one's summer daytime coat of silk or light cloth. Just now a vogue for lilies of the valley has suddenly sprung up. They are made into sprightly bouquets and they are decidedly in the spotlight. Under the magic sway of a defyly positioned flower cluster, even the most unpretentious gown becomes glorified. That's the theory many of our best designers are working upon, they style their gowns with utmost simplicity, depending upon fetching accesories to give it distinction. The exquisitely naive dress in the picture demonstrates the idea. It is a Worth creation. It is a navy chiffon with a small floral pattern in lavender, yellow and green. A huge bunch of silk violets decorate one shoulder, from which bangles long silk fringe in vivid violet tones. JULIA BOTTOMLEY, © 1928 Western Newspaper Union ACHIEVE WIDTH MODERN HEMLINE cents the circular cut inset, placed not infrequently at one side in a manner interpreted by the smart frock in the picture. This gown is styled of a washable silk and cotton mixture in a jacquard patterning. The flare as here shown is a modest one giving just enough fullness for graceful carriage. In dressier creations these circular inserts often begin at the hipline, forming a sort of drape effect, which usually drops to extreme trirregular at the hemline. The woman who is remodeling a last-season's narrower frock will find it an excellent plan to insert a wedge-shaped circular section of new material at one hip. Not only does this gain the desired fulness but it accomp plishes a very stylish effect. Some times the insets are closely shirred at the top, or a soft bow is there placed or a shirred rosette or an ornament or buckle. The material need not be the same as the frock but it should match in color. For instance a crepe frock could becoming carry an inset of self-colored satin. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

Edulph Gazette, Crieveland, I am happy again to learn of your candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio, and since I know you state man Hon. Harvey Prof. Neval H. Thomas will have many expenses to meet in your campaign, and large sums of money to fight. I enclose the modest sum of ten dollars, and appeal to my black fellow councillors to lend contributions, however small. It is a common cause we are fighting, and your splendid campaigns in past years have taught both white and black America the fitness of Afro-Americans being in any office, both appointive and elective. You are one of the few of America's outstanding characters who have remained true to the great ideals of a once great party. You remain true to the Constitution of these United States, while the great mass of our American leaders have bowed the knee to Baal, and degenerated into time-servers, myopites, public plunderers. Your Civil Rights law is one of the best pieces of legislation in the history of this country, and your Anti-lynching law is far ahead of the benighted states of America. I wish that our white statesmen, especially those posing under the banner of Lincoln, Sumner and Frederick Douglass could rise to your vision, patriotism, and loyalty to the public weal. Today these posers refuse to promise any answers to the problems of Ku Klux Klan, insult us with segregation far more than our ancient enemies do, ignore the merit system for the fast dwindling numbers of colored employees in the government, and hurdle the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments in hypocritical pretensions of enforcing the 18th. I know we can depend upon an outraged black citizenship to turn out at the polls on primary election day by contributing to the benefit of Ohio to contribute to the benefit helping to bear the expenses of your campaign. Sincerely yours, NEVAL H. THOMAS. 'PHONE CALLS SPEED WORK ON NEW BRIDGE 'PHONE CALLS SPEED WORK ON NEW BRIDGE Financing and Construction Arrangements for Ohio River Span Are Made by Long Distance Arrangements for both the financing and the construction of the new bridge spanning the Ohio river between Gallipolis and Point Pleasant were made by long-distance telephone. The bridge company officials, who were anxious to get work under way as soon as possible, tell the story of how red tape was eliminated and, by the use of this modern aid to business, construction work started before ever a line was written on paper to denote a contract. Early in the negotiations, the promoters received word from a banking firm in Pittsburgh that arrangements had been made to finance the project. Baltimore and Pittsburgh bankers agreed to furnish the funds. With this oral assurance, the promoters immediately turned down several other financing offers and made arrangements by long-distance for a Pittsburgh contractor to start construction. The contractor soon had materials on the way and had spent nearly $200-000 before a contract was signed. One of the results of the sleet storm which devastated telephone plant in northwestern Ohio during the last days of March will be substitution of new and larger facilities for many of the wrecked lines. A new cable carrying circuits from Toledo to Findlay is being erected, replacing the open-wire line which was wrecked. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder-Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race-Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lyaching 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 MOBS. 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 inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the injury occurred. 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; or, in 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 such person so lynched, nor be 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 (93 v. 162 6). Section 6283. Alert 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 include it with the costs of action, in which recovery shall be made of the county, shall be 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.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover a judgment of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a person from any of the persons composing such 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, and the county in which the lynching occurred on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall 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: **OBS.** ed. representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob inst another county. not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894; Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined 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, or a person aggrieved thereby to be reefered 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. Misled by the foolishly manufactures by the passage of the Beaty bill a law to wage 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. M Dear Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I have to send you, under a separate cover, the Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing an 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 for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO PROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it, word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." 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 flux That falls under at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. Reading It Reading It
