Thomas, Who Gives His Reasons for Urging Our People to Do So—Hopkins and Blossom! Cleveland, O. Sept. 18, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gerette, City. Sir:—Budley Blossom, who, directed by Manager Hopkins, bars our internes from the city hospital and our girls from our city public school of nursing at this city institution, will ask our voters to vote the Welfare department $2,500,000 to further build up a wall of segregation against our aspiring boys and girls. We defeated the welfare bond, last November, because Duke Leybey helped under Manager Hopkins barred our internes from the city hospital and would not train our girls in its city public school of nursing. Our people should vote against all Welfare bonds until Manager Hopkins takes our internes and student nurses into the city hospital along with other Cleveland boys and girls. We should not permit advocates of Welfare bonds to speak to our people but we will speak to cadden these welfare bonds. Now is the time to work strong sentiment against this welfare bond issue of $2,500,000 which Blossom and Hopkins will ask the voters to support in November. Our people should start to work now and we will get our internes and student nurses in the city hospital along with other Cleveland boys and girls. If we do not we are less than citizen of amine free any high school graduate of the race who desires to become a trained nurse. Dr. Joe, T. QUIZ OF THE NOMINEES? Washington, D. C.—Our National Voters League has addressed a series of questions to Gov. Al. Smith, Herbert L. Hoover, Dr. Hubert Work and John J. Raskob, asking their views on various propositions affecting Afro-American voters. The questionnaire asks for stands on enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and requests a declaration on "hismism" segregation government offices, on laws to punish lynchers, and equality of service to all persons on common carriers.

Will Not Follow Voteless Apologists He Terms "Political Parasites and Pretenders"—Hot Stuff! Memphis, Tenn.—Breaking a political rule of his life, Robt. R. Church replied, last week, to attacks carried in race papers of the week previous, following his usual to a sense of the "coward" bureau of the National political campaign committee. In a prepared statement Mr. Church says, in part: "I have seen the article, written, I am informed, by Dr. Emmett J. Scott. It is a document of a kind familiar to all who know the fine African hand of its industrious but elusive author. For thirty years his brick-bats have been hurled from behind the coat-tails of protectors. What Dr. Scott may think of me or of my respect for withdrawing from the hand-wrought 'committee', now directing and distressing Mr. Hoover's cause, is without importance and will not, I feel, supplant the record I have made in an effort to advance our lines on the political field. I have never held an office except through election by the people. Dr. Scott never held an office at all, and such positions as I filled came from kind hearts unable to turn a deal heart to his cry. Whether Dr. Hawkins continues to operate Howard University or runs政府 Dr. Hawkins or frock coat diplomatic receptions as Minister to Haiti, is not of the slightest concern to me. I got off the 'committee', not because I had been refused a leadership, for which no man can say I ever applied, (and which no man bestows upon another) but because I could not in conscience associate myself with political parasites and pretenders. Political Apologists. "To the charge that I am not a good follower, I plead guilty if I am asked to follow to the ballot box men who have no ballot to cast, and who have not the moral courage to attempt to cast one, or cry out against the crime of distranchisement in their states. Men who fight, don't follow those who run! There is not a colored Republican voter whom I would fail to follow or support, if called to this standard. There is not a colored political apologist I follow, unless he was leading a procession to the public square there to receive the condemnation of an outraged people. Lincoln Johnson. Lincoln Johnson “Another point, that is too scandalous to be ignored, Dr. Scott brought in, in name of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, referring to him as my associate in party struggle, and linking his great name with gentlemen of the present politician arrangement. There, we have sin at war with absurdity. Mr. Johnson, one of the great men in all history of great men, should be spared a comparison so odious. His memory should be more sacrificed than that. To mention the names of Dr. Hawkins, Dr. Scott and Dr. Holsey in the same breath with that of “Link” Johnson is a challenge to the patience of honest men. Leader and Voter. “Mr. Johnson was a leader, a great lawyer and a voter. He was Republican national committed at the time of his death and under the laws of Georgia he could not have been unless he was a registered voter. No year passed without his return to Georgia to register as a voter and see his citizenship clear. Neither Dr. Hawkins has returned to North Carolina, Dr. Scott to Texas, nor Dr. Holsey to the court house in either Georgia or Alabama to register his citizenship and play the full man. KILLED HIMSELF FOR LOVE! A White Youth Madly in Love With One of Our Girls—She Refused Him. Norwalk. Conn.—Mad because pretty Evelyn Thorpe, age 20, refused his love, James Love, (who shot himself in the girl's presence last week). There are not many of our families Norwalk and for this reason pretty Evelyn had to seek her friend among the opposite race, meet her at a house party and immediately fell violently in love. She turned a deaf ear toward his advances. On his death bed in the hospital, Love made the following statement: He said he had called Evelyn to a room where he pleaded with her to rebel. "I wanted to do house her sympathy didn't have any idea of killing myself. I told her I couldn't live without her and that I would kill myself before her eyes unless she relented. I pulled the gun out of my pocket, the trigger caught and the gun went off." Our First Anti-Roover Journal Louisville, Ky.—The Louisville News is the first among the larger race weeklies to come out for Al Smith. It said, editorially, last week: "As between Hoover and Smith, why should any Negro hesitate to make the proper choice? Hoover is a political adventure, but under any banner for revenue only; one time a Democrat under Wilson, the next time a Republican under Coolidge." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Poro College Is Mrs. Malone Says McMillan After Visit Cleanliness, Orderliness, Plenty of Light and Air, Absence of Waste Characterize the Great St. Louis Plant. St. Louis, Mo., (By L. K. McMillan.)—Poro College stands about in the heart of colored St. Louis. The high school is in sight of it, so are three or four elementary schools; one of the large methodist churches (A. M. E.) is next door; the public playgrounds take up the adjoining block; and looking in all directions are seen countless homes occupied by Afro-Americans. Whether by accident or choice this remarkable institution deserves being so located. It deserves being looked at daily by a large community; it deserves being in the community's center. In the first place Poro building is attractive even from the outside. It is built of good looking material; it covers the large part of a square block and soars three stories into the air, capped by a roof garden which is bedecked with beautiful green plants and flowers of various colors. Through the broad windows on the first floor practically all of the workers can be seen in action. Without any effort at being imposing the building stands out as the most interesting in that community. Advertising Manager McDaniels had this to say in conducting me through the plant: "You will find the character of Mrs. Malone revealed in the type of furniture you see throughout the building—plain but rich and durable. There is something about Mrs. Malone that makes you want to be in her presence. There is an influence that she breathes and a character which she possesses that in itself attracts." There is something to both of those statements. There is nothing cheap about the tone of any section of the interior of Poro. One man is constantly at work keeping the walls clean; likewise, the floors; another employee keeps up the repair work, no cracks are seen about in the building. The color scheme is not merely a matter of some fresh paint and new curtains, it is well thought out to such an extent that it makes a difference in the mind and feeling of a casual visitor and surely of one who must occupy the rooms for a goodly period. In the offices and the work rooms the employees have plenty of space and a flood of light and fresh air. Each of the one hundred guest JOSEPH WEAVER HOPEFUL! Columbus, O., Sept. 17, '28. Editor, Cleveland, G.鞍勒. My dear Mr. Smith:—Thank you very much for the copies of the good. Old Reliable Gazette you have so frequently sent to me, free of charge, for the last eight months. They give me the greatest of pleas: JOSEPH WEAVER ure to read. In a group of pictures in the Columbus papers, I saw your picture and name, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio. I admire you and am glad to see the commendable stand you take for the uplift of our race as well as the white. I wrote you a letter, weeks ago, congratulating you on your firmness, which I hope you received. I was an active voter myself. I was not unable to support you in the recent primary, but wished you success. I regard you as my trust friend. It shows that you are standing up for justice, and that you are convinced of my innocence of a crime that was prt over on me by false accessors. I will never forget the kindness you did me by writing the Governor in my behalf. I am thankful to God that He knows as well as I know I am innocent of the crime. If I die in the electric chair or if I am never free again, my conscience is perfect clear and I am thankful to God that not that man should be my hands. If I am of the hope and greatest confidence that I will be granted a new trial, and that I will prove without a doubt that I am absolutely innocent of the brutal crime that I was sentenced to die for. In God we trust! I beg to remain. 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 state, and county, and may have all of them establish its rank as one of the NEWSEIST AND BEST in the country. THE COPY FIVE CENTS DERS! Is Mrs. Malone Millan After Visit , Plenty of Light and Air, Characterize the Great Louis Plant. Mrs. Annie L. Malone, other in its equipment. In the guest reception rooms is carried the same spirit of variety and richness. The Poro plant is conducted on an economic basis. The absence of waste is one of the first things that impresses itself upon you. Time-saving material is used in the mailing department. The separate heating apparatus in the garages has been replaced by a connection from the central heating plant. The company makes its own ice, and as a bi-product. An intelligent direction is clearly behind the entire machinery of the business; the management is still at work looking for more economical methods. Mrs. Malone has somehow developed amher help an interest in the business. The beauty of a few young men in crisis through which she passed possibly more than anything else, helped to save the heartless ravages of those into whose hands it fell for a while. In the absence of the owner everybody is busy and the work goes on largely because the staff is true to its boss. One Visit a Year. Every agent of the Poro concern has the privilege of making one visit to the home office once a year as a guest to receive instructions and all accommodations free of charge. From that time these guests are at the station till the time they are taking back Poro's instructions, they have been at no expense at all. Such things as theatre parties and picnics are provided for their enjoyment. It is refreshing to find business enterprises like Poro practicing the art of good business—growing by cultivating persons who work for them. MATOWITZ AND FLEMING ROW Quarrel Over Client's Right to See Prisoner—Tom in "Bad." Councilman Tom Fleming, the city leading colored politician, can "go to h—I" as far as Police Inspector Matowitz is concerned. Matowitz told Fleming that when Fleming came to him demanding that one of his clients be permitted to see a prisoner, his common law wife, who was held in jail on a charge of neglecting her three minor children. Charles Hills, 3108 Woodland Ave. demanded that Lieutenant Eugene Aufmuth permit him to see Ethel Evans, his common law wife, according to officers. Aufmuth refused because police regulations provide that only attorneys and relatives may see prisoners, he said. Hills enlisted the aid of Fleming, who went to Matowitz and made his demands that Hills be permitted to see the prisoner. Matowitz refused. Fleming hinted that Safety Director Barry would be appealed to and gave vent to threats about Lieutenant Aufmuth's job. Matowitz called Director Barry later in the police and told his story, following which Barry said, "The men on police are running jail sentences there and told his story as long as they do their duty and they did in this case. As for anybody they in their jobs, jobs are concerned, they won't as long as the officers do their duty." Fleming has not appeared at Barry's office — Cleveland Daily News. --- I BETCHA CAN'T GUESS WHO'S OVER AT OUR HOUSE WHO IS? MY GRAN'PA IS, THAT'S WHO, AN' YOU OUGHTA SEE.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 22, 1928. Three new committees to aid the executive committee of the county Republican organization to carry on the G. O. P. campaign, this fall, were announced, Tuesday, by A. J. Hirstius, chairman. The there are at least 25,000 Afro-American voters in this county, and they are by no means a unit for the Republican candidates, from Herbert - L. Hoover down to the last man on the local Republican ticket, not one of our voters was appointed to membership on any one of Chairman Hirstius three new committees. How come, Gus? You will sure need severa on those committees before the campaign is over. COLOR-LINE LUNA PARK PAYS It has just leaked out that the Color-Line Luna Park management just prior to its issuance of the letter, denying that it discriminated against our people, that our local contemporary was so thoughtless as to publish prior to Sept. 4, '28, and which we threw into a waste-basket, had paid seven hundred and fifty dollars to two of our women who had been barred from the park, one of them being assaulted (roughly treated at the gate), in settlement of their cases against the park management. One was a damage case and the other was for five hundred dollars under Ohio Civil Rights law. The Luna letter was simply an effort to help Councilman Tom Fleming and others of his committee too "Negroes" to the park to hear Hawkins, DePriest and Myers Y. Cooper, color-line Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, speak at the alleged "emancipation celebration". Sept. 4, '28, which was such a flat failure from an attendance standpoint. Rich, isn't it? Even on Sept. 4, '28, the bathing-pool, as always, was closed to "Negroes"! Lord, have mercy on Tom Fleming and his kidney! How much longer will our loyal self and race respecting people of this community tolerate them? Many of the Elks did not and will not go to that park. Good! WILBERFORCE—WEST VIRGINIA As previously announced, Wilber force University and West Virginia Institute will stage their annual football game in Cleveland, Thanksgiving Day. For the past four years, the game has been held in Columbus. Cuyahoga lodge, Elks, secured this "classic" after a lengthy and energetic campaign, planned and conducted by Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, E. R. R. It is to be hoped that the organization will not take it to Color-Line Luna Park where thousands of our people, who would like to see the game, simply will not go to see anything. That, was proved beyond all question or doubt on Sept. 4, 28, when the same lodge tried to hold a political emancipation celebration and made such a flat failure of it for the reason that so very many of our people would not and will not go to that color-line place. It would be most unfortunate indeed, not only for the lodge but for the reputation of the city, to have the game anything other than a tremendous success in point of attendance. Take the game away from Color-Line Luna park and make it the greatest success it has ever been! A WONDERFUL WOMAN! Long years ago, "The Old Reliable" Gazette knew Mrs. Annie L. Pope-Turnbo as a business woman of splendid promise. Then we went to St. Louis during the "World War" as her guest, along with several scores of other members of the race press and leading men and women of both races from all parts of the country, to witness the opening and participate in the dedicatory exercises of the great, new and excep- tionally imposing PORO COLLEGE building, and later on to those of its imposing annex, structures costing approximately $500,000, and all paid. We took active part in both dedicatory services which extended over a week, each time, and were simply wonderful for many reasons. Mrs. Annie L. Malone, she was then, impressed us most by her modesty, reticence, religious fervency, liberality and exceptional business capacity. She had a pleasant word and smile for all, in her quiet way, and left a lasting impression on all the thoughtful with whom she came in contact. Her benefactions have been many, but always without flourish of trumpet. Mrs. Malone is an exceptional woman, a wonderful woman, whose lead in our business world, PORO COLLEGE, is acknowledged generally to be the biggest asset we have in that great field of endeavor. May she be spared to the race for many, very many years to come because she is so greatly needed, so very beneficial and such a very wholesome influence upon the entire race. BOB CHURCH RIGHT When Robert R. Church, of Memphis, our political leader in the state of Tennessee, refused the appointment to membership on the executive committee of the Republican national committee's "jim-crow" division, week before last, he gave his reasons and they were good ones, too. He might have gone further, however, and still have been "within the limits", and performed even greater service to his people and Republicans generally. Mr. Church objected and still objects to being associated with the "voteless leaders", John R. Hawkins of North Carolina and Washington, D. C., Emmett J. Scott of Texas, Alabama and Washington, D. C., and a Dr. Holsey of Alabama, whom Dr. Holwerk chairman of the Republican national committee, has placed in charge of the committee's "jim-crow" division. Bob terms them "political parasites" in a second communication which we largely republish on the first page of this paper. Chairman Hubert Work, when a member of President Calvin Coolidge's cabinet, absolutely refused (a few weeks ago) to do anything whatever against the malicious insulting segregation of our clerks in his department when urged to do so by Prof. Neval H. Thomas and his co-workers. Mr. Church might have called attention to this fact, also. It would have been interesting, and possibly illuminating to many, just at this time, even if not wholly pertinent. As chairman of the Republican committee, Dr. Work is responsible for the fool-effort "illy-white" and other renegade and so-called Republicans are making to break the solid Democratic South at the tremendous sacrifice of many thousands of Afro-American votes in the North that will be sorely needed if New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other states in this section of the country are to be carried for Hoover & Curtis. He is also responsible for the party management's taking the Ku Klux Klan "to its bosom" and adopting its line of action, at least so far as our people are concerned. All this and much more Mr. Church could have called attention to and performed a greater service to his people and the Republican party. In placing voteless "Negroes, political parasites", in charge of the Republican national committee's "colored division", Chairman Work but emphasized the disregard for Afro-American voters he showed for all of our people of the country when as Secretary of the Interior, a few weeks ago, he practically ignored our demand thru Prof. Thomas that segregation be eliminated from his department. We differ from Mr. Church in his high political estimate of Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, deceased, which he gives in his letter reproduced in part on our first page. Johnson was able. There is no question as to that. But, and we regret exceedingly to have to say it, he was entirely too much of a political automaton, like the "voteless leaders" Bob refers to, during the last few years of his eventful life. He gave us striking evidence of this fact on his last political tour of Ohio at $150 a month, paid by the Republican national committee of which he was a member. Nevertheless, we endorse Mr. Church's sane and sensible stand against "voteless leaders" for our people in this or any other campaign. He is right! Prime Sport News Turns In Perfect Ball Game.

Los Angeles, Calif. — Contrary to the general procedure followed by pugilists, of squandering their money in an easy come, easy go manner, "Baby Joe Gans" has "salted down" most of the $100,000 he has earned since stepping out into the public limelight. With the past two years averaging $11,000 houses, he made over $50,000 and with the good money he has made in the east added to the many small purses he used to get at Pasadena, San Diego, the Main Street, and other small clubs, his fortune totals a tithe "Put your money in diary, the young meller tells other mellers whom he considers will appreciate advice he can't fight but a few years at best." Following his own advice, "Babe" buys property at bargains, then does most of his own work of plastering, cementing, roofing and carpeting in his spare hours, even when training for fights. Besides his home at 1499 W. 36th Place, he owns well improved bungalow courts, one at 36th and Denker, the other at 46th and Wadsworth; a house at 38th, near Ascot, and two nice stucco houses at 39th and McKinley. One of his bungalow courts is named Geraldine after daughter. He is given devoted to his two children and his wife and can be found any time playing ball with him in the street in front of his home. The young master's real name is Gerald Shaughter and the east has already found out that wealth, praise, success, and the dizzy white lights do not spoil him or make him "Ritzy". ENCOURAGING HIGH IDEALS! Cleveland, O., Sept. 14, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland. My dear Brother:—I call you "brother" because of the spirit, not of the flesh. The honor you are paying me by publishing my little poetic "effusiosis" is very heartening to me. I, like you, am doing my "possible" towards the promotion of some of our own class who have escaped from the unfriendly southland and taken up their residence in the great (comparatively) North, East and West. Each and everyone of my little "poems" is intended (like your editorials) to suggest high ideals and earnest, honest living, which (I am sorry to say) is more than some phases of our politics inspire. Good luck and long life to you. Yours, John P. Green. TRANSMUTATION King Midas saw beneath his hands, 'tis told. The common things around him turn to gold; But I confess—and hope was well-nigh dead— I saw beneath my hands all things as lead. Some things were golden when they came to me. But when my fingers touched them I could see Them change to lead before my saddened eyes. And only Jesus heard my bitter cries! Like Esau, with his wildly hopeless cry, "Bless me," I called to heaven, "or I die!" I scanned my life—'twas all around me spread— I scanned it well, but all of it was lead. I sought and found the lovely heart of God; I rested there; and you may think it odd. His glory shone, resplendent to behold. And in its glow my lead was turned to gold! Mable M.

Is a Director When He Retires. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 8, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear sir:—The attached is self-explanatory. I believe that I owe something, as an inspiration to the many thousands of our youth, and a short story of my life would, I be- Mr. David Manson. Hive, be thoughtful and beneficial. The high lights are that in twenty- five years I was never late in arriving at the office. I started with this concern as office boy at five dollars per week, and worked up to a salary of ten thousand dollars per year. This was accomplished only by self- confidence, will power, optimism and efficiency. My theme throughout the years has been the efficiency. I have en- deavored to carry this to the end of every task that I have had to do. What I have done, thousands and thousands of others can do. You may use this story, as stated above, as an inspiration for our countless number of youths. "A Sip of the Elixir of Life" Chicago, Sept. 1, '28 M. S. J. Sept. 1, '28 Mr. S. J. Fosen, President.

Many business concerns, and the architectural firms which advise them, are erecting new buildings that are attractive and yet do not sacrifice usefulness. Most residential communities must have business buildings of some sort. It is always a problem to make them harmonize with the residence; sometimes this problem is only partially solved by clustering all the stores and shops in a block. In the telephone business, it is frequently necessary to have the exchange buildings located in a residential community, particularly in a city so large that several exchanges are necessary. The growth of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company in recent years has been so rapid that the company has had to erect a number of new buildings each year, most of them located in home neighborhoods. Among the latest exchange buildings of this type are Clearwater, in Cleveland, Lawndale, in Columbus, and South, in Youngstown. To the casual passerby, any of these buildings might be considered a school or library done in the modern, attractive style. They are of brick, trimmed in stone. In a city that is noted for its fine architecture, the Clearwater exchange building was one of four singled out for praise in the annual competition of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, to select the best constructed and designed buildings erected in the city in 1927. The Bell building won honor mention because of the way in which its utility was blended with architectural beauty to the benefit of the community. In Youngstown the South building is just being put into service in July. Newspapers and the public there have commented on the fact that this structure, in the middle of a fine residential community, is a distinct asset. Besides providing for telephone growth, it has architectural merit. The landscape artist has done his best to make the lawn the equal in appearance of those which surround the homes in the neighborhood. Another type of telephone building which has won widespread praise is the headquarters of the company in Cleveland. This 22-story building, which houses the general offices, long-distance boards and dial equipment to serve the downtown sections, was completed in 1927 according to plans by Hubbell & Benes, architects. Nation's Business, official magazine of the national Chamber of Commerce, picked it as one of the 15 most beautiful buildings in the country. According to B. S. Hubbell, president of the architectural firm, requests for photographs of the building are constantly received. Manufacturers of building materials have told Mr. Hubbell that the prestige given their products by use in the building is inestimable. Many have used page advertisements in national publications, calling attention to the building and the fact that their products were used. Requests for pictures of the building have come from as far as Germany. In every instance, according to the telephone officials, new buildings are designed to harmonize with the character of the communities in which they are erected. Dr. LeROYN.

This applies not only to Cleveland, where annual registration is required, but also to all municipalities where the quadriennial registration is in effect.

Police officials can tell councilmen and other politicians to "go to h—" with the approval of Safety Director Barry as long as they do so in pursuance of their duties as police officers. That was the ruling Barry put on the fracas between Councilman onomom Obama, the police inspector onomom Obama, and Police inspector Matowitz. last night. Fleming, according to Matowitz, raised the roof because the inspector would not break a police regulation and permit one of Fleming's clients to see a prisoner. The councilman threatened to go to Barry and he also made threats about getting the job of Lieutenant Eugene Aufmuth who refused to break the police rule. Fleming said that police officers need have no fear of politicians getting their jobs as long as they did their duty—Cleveland Daily News. West Side residents will enjoy, shortly after Oct. 1, the pleasure of riding street-cars boasting the same conveniences and comforts as Euclid Ave.'s articulated trollers. Fifty new single cars costing $10,000 and on the map specifications of the duplex trains except that they have no connecting passageways, are to be put in service on the Madison Ave., W. 25th St. and Clark Ave. lines. "We want to give West Sideers something to crow about also," Vice-Pres. Ralph Emerson Jr. says. They soon be able to electric their individual cushion chairs, smoother riding and the many safety devices of the new cars." Patrons of the Central Ave. line would appreciate decent service with the old cars. Wonder if they will ever have one of the new ones' is to get for three lines. Why make Central Ave. line the second for the East Side, Mr. Emerson, and give it decent street-car service, too? Patrolman Ernest Ford, traffic policeman at Scovill Ave. and E. 22nd St., was ambushed, shot and killed at 7 p.m. Wednesday night, in the rear of 3314 Scovill Ave., which police say is a bootleg joint. He is the second patrolman to be killed by the underworld in a week. Ford lived at 8021 Quincy Ave. and was on the force since Jan. 15, 1919,Originally but for several years had been directing traffic, first at E. 30th and Woodland Ave. S. E., later at E. 40th and Scovill Ave. and finally at E. 22nd and Scovill Ave. Two men (Italians), who were arrested late that night, after a three hour search through the city's underworld confessed to detectives, early Thursday, that they were operators of the fire that found in the rear of the house. One of the men after persistent questioning accused the other of firing the shots which killed Ford.

Because He Resented a Slur From a Prejudiced Game! *Game* Chicago, Ill.—Scores of merry-makers were thrown into a panic, Sept. 8, when John Suarrez, a Filiplno was shot and seriously wounded for resenting a quip on his white wife, in the Sunset Cafe at S. Parkway and E. Thirty-Fifth St. The shooting followed an altercation between Suarrez, who was seated beside his wife, Ella, and a party of three men and three women in his Filiplno with a white woman," one of the three men remarked. Suarrez walked over to their table and said: "I don't like that remark. "If you don't like it, come on outside," invited one of the men. Suarrez accepted the invitation. Both men followed by several diners, walked out into the alley. As Suarrez was removing his coat, witnesses declared, his opponent, a dirty pistol and fired twice. The gunman and his cowardly companions fled. Suarrez was carried into the cafe, where his wounds, both in the body, were dressed. He was then transferred to Wilson Hospital. A "Hot" Welcome to Baptists.

His reference also to the status of the race in Shreveport, in which he adroitly handled the threats that the visitors from some sections of the country would not find the condition they left in their home towns, was also regarded by many as a veiled warning.

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice?—Protest, Protest! (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. There is more segregation in Washington, today, under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the time segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson is the most frequent administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. President Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the censurers in this city in 1910, writing white women and black men, white people, and black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and a form of oppression by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Some months ago, a colored girl from after having passed examation, having been televised for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the leader of the other faction, and the segregation forces, the superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not hold up declarations on democracy in operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chic tenets of the Constitution, and found its "welcome home" here and in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.) (Special) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice, fleeage is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage as it is, far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they are able to get more than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, soothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. The white employees have even passed around in the office building, the way the presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks, nor carried to the postmaster from the day before it to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks got around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No "Negro," however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of men. Colored clerks have been told to form a union which should regularly and simply manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to the GMA) Washington, D.C. The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-section reserved for the employees. I am glad to see that few, very few, the girls patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the inferior, pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher sal- The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice in exclusion of the two keenly educated the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and falling to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this time the government employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employee have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases, be made by a daimai that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquity of scheme of death is a life of fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C. - Segregation in the museum of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert Nixon, who after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafterame and career for her philanthropy, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy mong our people and who was up- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPT. 22, 1928 House appeared at the bureau to on intimate terms at the White tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette, father of the present Senator of the same name, looked a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the N. A. C. in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out, one stormy afternoon, to the Y. M. C. A., to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crisis. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack the White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the N. A. A. C. P. secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked the balance of the Senate, the role of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in over half of our classrooms. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilers, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best homes, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of them are the best of their positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) (Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such country has never known, devised the nation's first system which financed the Civil War and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Browne, was a Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing 15,000 clerks. Yet the groves are so scarce that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toiletes, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to use the toilet to disuse the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the clever society that their presence creates. It seats two thousand men with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group the registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garnelf appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now the leader of colored people are congregated in a colored room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; they are unable to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, he can pinpoint an stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan whenever he decides to do so. Subscribe Now Pretty Things that are made at Home i FINESSE OF COSTUME DEPENDS UPON JEWELRY WORN WITH IT THE LINE THANKS to the quilting of quilts of their ancestors, women of this generation have fallen heir to a needlework art which not only furnishes a fascinating pastime for leisure hours, but yields a hundred per cent satisfaction in the way of lovely decorative things for the home, not to mention the interesting part quilting is playing in fashion's realm. Speaking from the standpoint of pretty things to wear, quilted crepe hats, quilted fabric handbags, quilted coats, silk or otherwise express the very essence of chic, and the newest item of interest is the quilted jersey frock or blouse. Merely a word picture cannot do justice to the charm and novelty of these new quilted jersey garments. If you long to put your quilting ability to practical use why not take that beloved jersey frock of yours which seems never to wear out, and give it a this-year's appearance by patterning it with a hand-quilted design. It will be a matter of self-congratulation when you see how effective this hand-stitchery will prove. Concerning the lovely quilted pink taffeta bou迪 set picture here, imagine the thrill the gift of a hand-quilted pink taffeta bou迪 set FINESSE OF COSTU UPON JEWEL IT IS the way of the modernist to look upon costume jewelry not so much as a luxury as a real necessity to the finesse of a costume. We buy our jewels nowadays to match our frocks, our blouses and our ensembles with the same care as to harmonizing effects as we do on hats and scarfs and like accessories. Wherefore miltady's jewel box is tiled to overflowing with a beginning collection of jewels—a set to match each costume—not all real to be sure, for even the most fastidious are not now so much concerned as to the genuness of a jewel as to the question does it enter the scheme of things from the standpoint of color and motif? It seems as if all the jewelcraft of past and present must have been commanded to produce the lovely things we see nowadays among costume jewelry displays. The queen of Sheba herself, in all the gorgeous array which history ascribes to her, could she walk among the fashionable throng, might will look with envy upon the wondrous jewelry which complements the modes of the modern hour. It would intrigue even a queen's fancy to have her jeweler, or her counter for that matter, show her necklaces and brooches, earrings and bracelets set with stones the very color of her frocks. This vogue for colored crystal follows in the wake of the py of The aintance wh as pictured here would bring to the bead-to-bear, or to the young girl whose room is all glow with rose tints from coverlet to drapery. Of course one can buy silk and the soft batiste lining and a pattern for stamping and figure out the details for themselves, but the ideal way is to purchase the outfit stamped and all ready to begin to quilt. Instead of using cotton padding the better fancy-work department carries a special wool interlining which is almost as light as air, and which can be sewed through and through with perfect ease. The wild rose design as shown here is one of the prettiest of the pretty. Those little padded roses dangling from the dress or coat hangers are sweet scented sachet bags in disguise. In the picture the set is three-piece, including boudoir pillow, handkerchief case and wardrobe hanger. However, the theme can be enlarged upon at will to include a nightrobe case, and various other holders for gloves, veils and the sort. There are many likable designs which one can devise, such as a set done in lavender silk with violets or pansies for the flower motif. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1928, Western Newpaper Union.)

Then there are the new flat pearls, how fascinating they are, some round, some square, some triangular, as the designs at the bottom of this sketch reveal. There are bracelets and earrings to match, if you please, and the surprising thing is that they are so reasonably priced. To wear with the daytime and sports frocks, such wondrous novelties wrought in gold and silver metal! A "last word" choker necklace with bracelet and earrings to match is shown on the figure in the picture. This intriguing set is made of a metal composition which, while it looks massive, is really delightfully lightweight. Each hollow semisphere of this mayela, jewelry, as it is called, is ridged in a melon shape and alternating gold and silver. With one's rus-set-colored new knit ensemble, a gold and silver costume jewelry trio like this would be ideal. Note in the sketch the two necklaces at the top. The one to the left is of American Indian inspiration, showing a patterning of feathers done in vivid yellow, red and blue laquer effects. The other shows how elaborately some of the colored stone jewelry is mounted. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (@1928. Western Newspaper Union.)

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.

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, the county was convicted, was convicted on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse 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: OBJS. need. I representative of victim of lynching.ury by mob trying to lynch another. d costs in tax levy. a. inst member of mob inst another county. I 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: The General Code of Welfare being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, bar-shop, public convenience 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 accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges of the inn, more 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 five hundreds dollars to the persecutor 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 manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years 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 amendment. 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 Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter, in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separation, Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last week, 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 REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. No word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant.
