Warley, of Louisville, Ky., wrote the writer that he had decided, to resign the position in the Louisville post office he had held for years to publish and edit a race newspaper. We advised him (in the light of our experience) not to bring to his determination and theille New, one of our best papers and he one of our very best and most aggressively loyal editors and leaders, are the result. The following editorial, from the Chicago Defender, is pertinent and self-explanatory: "William Warley, valiant fighter and militant newspaper editor of Louisville, Ky., has decided that 'race leading' doesn't pay. From now on, he says, he will devote his son's attention to the public interest. His statement is the outgrowth of a suit which he caused to be filed in Louisville, and later had withdrawn. The suit, had it been successful, would have removed segregation from the park system of Louisville, and would have opened the city parks to all citizens, with regard to all public spaces, there is only one public park in that city in which dark American citizens may seek recreation. "Mr. Warley, through his own newspaper, explains that he filed the suit in the belief that citizens of Louisville, seeing the necessity of such a move, would come to his support. They did not. They followed the line of procedure set down by the city throughout the country, and back to watch the result of Mr. Warley's fight as the it were a personal affair. "In his statement he declares that he is 'tired of fighting battles single-handed for the race that are not understood, are misconstrued and certainly unappreciated.' Although the suit was filed some months ago, he said, not an officer of the N. A. B. or the N. A. B. of the military in the matter to mention it. Not preacher or other "leader", business or professional man had shown any interest in the case'. "Numerous other reasons are cited by Mr. Warley to emphasize his determination to represent himself, and himself alone, in the future. He is tired of serving a race that is so unappreciative of his efforts in its behalf. He is tired of neglecting his financial interests and his physical well-being for a principal that meets his needs. In other words, an erstwhile strong man has weakened under the strain and has decided to return to the ranks. "This is a peculiar race of ours. It recognizes no leaders and it cannot follow, yet is constantly cries to be led. It takes no part in its own battles and laughs when its warrior falls by the wayside, yet it glories in his success and shouts with him if he wins. It has no concerted opinion. Like a nervous horse, at efforts of his own, he direct objective, and it readily turns an ungrateful shoulder upon the one who strives hardest to lead it to the goal of ultimate freedom. "And so Mr. Warley's case, rather than being an exception, is the general rule in this matter of racial betterment. Instead of being alone in his predicament, he is one of a class of thousands who have felt the same sting of public indifference as he has felt. He is just one of the great leaders of the civil rights movement for a cause. His case is far from unique. And in spite of his discouragements and disappointments, he must not quit. But for men like him the race would be in a sorrier plight than it is, and it will suffer more if he throws up the sponge at this time. This race of ours must be saved in spite of itself, and men must come to expect years of fruitless, thankless fighting to achieve the result that they desire." In the light of the foregoing, we do not think it necessary to explain why we advised Brother Warley to hold a government job and let newspaper publishing and editing severely alone. Harry C. Smith MOTHERHOOD IS GOD'S WAY". Jersey City, N. J.—The First Community church of this city observed Mother's Day with the ordination and installation of six deacons, James W. Cusberd, W. F. Douglas, Eugene Johnson, Sr., Robert Sammons, H. A. Bowley and Hayes McMillan. Deaconeses, Mrs. Janie Harris, Louise Smith, Mary Cusberd, Hattie Douglas, Edith Banks, Mary P. Smith, Ida Lambert, Margaret Higgs, and Alice Harwell. After installation, the Lord's Supper was celebrated with all deacons participating. The Mother's Day sermon was preached by the pastor, Dr. W. A. Byrd, from Isaiah, 7:14. Subject, withathandman, The pastor made several observations that had a telling effect. First Dr. William A. Byrd. Humanly speaking and thinking, it would seem that God could have created and redeemed the world by some method other than that of suffering, as entailed in motherhood. But divine wisdom brought life into the world and redeemed life from one another. God sought the best and purest woman of her day to be the mother of his son. God also seeks the best and purest women of the present day to be the mothers of the generation being born and to be born. The purity of motherhood forms a strong back-ground for the children to build upon characters of virtue, modesty manhood and womanhood, kindness to be chained, days, though living in cabins and modest homes, gave to the world the greatest men of our generation and preceding generations, so must the women of today and succeeding days give the world its heroes and great men and women. Third. The finest women of the present day are called upon to be mothers and this motherhood is not a chained, beaten, of its suffering and sacrifices, for from such mothers God will continue to build and retain his world. The agitation and propagation of devices whereby motherhood may be escaped, though the human processes continue, have and will result in moral deterioration and murder. The fairies of roses, the sweetest of all flowers and the most beautiful of all things are children conceived in honor and born holy in consecration to God's will. The First Community church was founded by Dr. Byrd and a group of stalwart men and women who believe in the right to control their affairs without any unwarranted interference from the outside. The outlook is fine and the field is large. The church is a large church founded on the rule of intelligence, consecrated piety and community betterment.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WITH THEIR REORGANIZATION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE SOUTH. Will Lose More in the North Than They Will Gain in the South—The President's Alleged Alliance With "Law-Disobeying Democrats" of "Dixie". Editor, Jersey Journal:—The Jersey City Daily Journal in its editorial of Wednesday, "Hoover on Southern Politics," rendered a fine service to sanity in party building. That there has been wrong committed in the South in the handling of federal patronage no one will doubt, but no one will believe and the vote of the South to nominate its Presidents should suddenly grow righteous and manifest this righteousness by prosecuting a few Negroes who have profited by this system and let the army of white men go scot free who have gotten more out of it than all Negroes of America have gotten out of the whole Federal government. Then too, when the Republican party seeks to build up a standing in the South by accepting Democrats as the party's nominee, driven from the ballot box and used the machinery of the law to oppress the colored people rather than protect them, it is time that Negroes and right-thinking whites reform the party or form another. It is a fact that Mr. Hoover may succeed by his "illy-white" road to lead the southern states into the Republican party. In New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Delaware to go out of the Republican party. Colored voters have suffered death and ostracism in the South by remaining true to the party of Abraham Lincoln as a matter of gratitude for the work of the great Emancipator, but if the successors to Lincoln's party are going into the South to advocate the Emancipated people who have manhood will refuse to follow. The time is ripe for thoughtful colored voters to divide up. When any party owns a group it does not put forth any effort to pacify that group. The squawking child gets attention. Shortly after emancipation and during the terms of Presidents for more than thirty years, colored men of ability and standing received honorable places in the party. All of the departments of the Government gave them worthy appointments. The masses of the col- H. C. Ganaway, age 30 and married, was shot to death in Chicago, May 9, by his jealous "sweetie", Bessie Kleoleman, age 22 and a Jewess. Both immoral "panhandlers". Perry W.

Duckette, priest in charge of St. Benedict Catholic church, Detroit, was shot in the leg by a policeman, as only who "him a bumper and acting suspiciously" because he was looking in a store window. Many of the Detroit policemen are kluxes. This came out in the "Sweet" trials. HAYES ENDS RECORD TOUR. Boston. Mass. — Roland Hayes completed his fifth tour of America by making a third appearance in New York and Boston, April 21 and May 15, 1930, and shared with Fritz Kreisler alone, the distinction of appearing three times in Carnegie Hall, N. Y. City, last season. No other musician thus appeared in Symphony Hall, Boston. He will sail, this month, for Europe, where he will fill a limited number of positions in November to open his sixth tour here. It will end in April, 1930. DOINGS OF THE RACE.

Certainly they will object when objection means a place for themselves or their kin. This southern policy may be the undoing of the Republican party. An engineer may tunnel mountains and bridge a chasm, but he cannot bridge a canyon in this country by stamping on the political life of self-respecting colored voters. Theodore Roosevelt had to discontinue a postoffice in Mississippi because respectable (and "po") whites refused to receive mail from the hands of a competent and respectable colored woman. When Mr. Hoover takes into his arms the long-standing law-disobeying Democrats of the South he alienates the colored man and in doing so the Republic can party may suffer most where it has been of greatest service to the nation. (Rev.) William A. Byrd. The GREAT S. S. CONGRESS To Convene in Cleveland, Next Month, Will Be An Extraordinary Event. Practically all of our local Baptist churches, under the direction of Rev. Ernest Hall, pastor of East Mt. Zion Baptist church and his ministerial, laymen and other associates in the management of the arrangements for the coming of the great Baptist, Sunday-School Congress, June 5 to 10, are still working hard, bringing it up, and the anticipations of our people are running high because they realize that the Congress is really going to be something out of the ordinary in many respects, something never before witnessed in this city. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the Congress and promoter of the great gathering, is full of enthusiasm, aggressive and exceptionally capable as a leader in church and Sunday School work. He accounts largely for the expanded access in the past, extending over many years. Mr. Boyd invites every Sunday-school, organized class, boy court, and religious worker to attend this great national Congress where no stone will be left unturned for the further expansion of Sunday-school work yet to be done. The delegates to the Congress from all sections of the country may rest assured of the generous hospitality of Cleveland—the very best possible. How can the Congress Boyd, and the rest of the Congress work, and in this city, next month, with the utmost confidence of experiencing a wonderful time in the service of the Master. "On to Cleveland" is the slogan. New York City.—"Gorilla" Jones, the very nifty Afro-American fighter, stacked up against Izzy Grove (white) in the semi-final of the Bronz Hospital fund fights, last night, at Madison Square Garden, and the pride of Akron was the favorite of course.

Con- temptible mistreatment of Mr. Pro- tus by the local daily and weekly press, to say the least, isn’t it? —iK!— Last week Wednesday morning's Cleveland Plain Dealer contained a statement to the effect that “Col.

Charles Young. both of Ohio, personal friends of the writer, were others. And we know of at least two Afro- American youths that enjered the Government naval school at Annap- clis, Md., but were forced to resign, fone py the loss of an eye while at home on a furlough. The establishment of Provident, Pentecost and Wilson Hospitals and Dailey Sanitarium (for “Negroes”) in Chicago has just about closed the doors of all the other hospitals in that city to “Negroes” with the re- sult that the situation has become so serious that Chicago Catholics “have proposed-a million dollar hospital for Negroes”. This is the condition that ‘‘Jim-crow” hospital advocates of Cleveland would: (if they could) foist on our people of this city with their advocacy of a hospital “on the East side, officered by colored and white physicians and help”, or an out-and-out ‘jim-crow” hospital. MORGAN, MARSHALL, FESLER. | The editor of The Gazette does not know where Mayor John D. Mar- shall, or Mayo Fesler of the Citi- ‘wens’ league, were in July, 1916, at the time of the tunnel disaster but does know that he, the editor, was right here in Cleveland and has a very vivid remembrance of the fact that Garrett A. Morgan did lead in the rescue work and was the first man to enter that tunnel for that purpose; that the men given medals and money for their part in the rescue work played “second fiddle” to Morgan’s first, using his hoods to enter the tunnel after Morgan had made two trips, bringing out a man, each time, Fesler's citing 1o- eal newspaper accounts of the tunnel disaster, etc., proves nothing when jone recalls the general racial preju- ‘dice that existed then and now. ‘Medals and money should have been ven first to Morgan because he was far and away the most deserving of all who took part in that memorable tunnel rescue work it does seem to The Gazette that Councilmen Brown, Gregg and Geor- ‘ge might have had something to say & Dohait of Garrett A.

Miller of South Carolina, in an article pub- lished in several of our newspapers in recent weeks, starts out with a false premise. The result is he winds up decidediy wrong, in part. First: Voting anywhere in this country is not a “rignt™ but @ priv- ilege extended citizens generally by state and federal governments, The state in state elections, and the fed- eral government in federal elections (for electors and members of the Congress) Mr, Miller's initial mis-statement that “the U. S. Supreme Court by its decisions has made it impossible for any President, or any power in the land, to help the black man political- ly thru and by the enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments to the U. S. Constitution” was called out as a result of Congressman Geo. H. Tinkham’s resolution asking President Hoover “to press the rights of the Negro”. The privilege of voting in federal elections cannot be legally taken from the “Negro” or any other citi- zen, by any state, and the U.S. Su- preme Court has never decided that the several states had any such pow- ev. What it did do was to confirm the states” power and right to ex- tend or withhold the privilege of voting to its citizens, in state elec- tions only, but never on a basis of color, race or previous condition of servitude, The ‘state cannot legally withhold a citizen's privilege of vot- ing in federal elections. STOP INVITING HOPKINS! Economie problems were discuss: ed, Sunday afternoon, under the aus- pices of the Forest City Civic league at Mt. Zion Cong. church, by Atty, Francis E. Rivers of New York City, and City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins. Mr. Rivers said there are so many plans and ideas in circulation re- garding the race that there is dan- ger of much lost motion by persons working on too many of them at once. He said that to gain results some one definite plan should be de- termined and then followed to its conclusion. Hopkins said the world has entered into a period where every group of people “is under- standing more clearly its part in the scheme of things”, He did not, however, explain his retention in of- fice of his colordine Director of Pub- lie Welfare, Dr. Dudley P. Blossom, or mention his (Hopkins') reasons for illegally barring our girls from the nurses’ school at the City’ Hos- pital, or for Megally barring our in- ternes from that publie institution, It is an INSUL® to our people of tls community to invite Hopkins to address auy of our gatherings which should be resented in mo nnmistak- able way in the future.

Sharp of Archwood Cong, church said, Sunday morning, in his Mother's Day sermon: "True respect for motherhood means also the disarmament of our race prejudice. What can be the happiness of a mother who knows that her children must grow up and live in slum-like conditions because of the color of their skin? If one believes in happy motherhood, one of his duties is to help create a world in which the fullest of happiness for mothers is possible". One of the very fortunate ones, Wednesday about noon, at the Cleveland Clinic in Euclid Ave., when that disastrous explosion occurred in the X-ray department, killing and injuring so many persons, was Mrs. Seth Nickens, of Greenlaw Ave., who was there for an X-ray examination and about to enter that department. After the explosion, she with others visited the hospital, where experience has left Mrs. Nickens in a very nervous condition.

I don't believe the old prejudices will ever help to solve the racial problem. For instance, they tried to solve the Negro problem by war, but the only problem war ever solved was how to make the world safe for millionaires. I believe that the greatest of all enemies of 'the school' Commander—is the only agency for the race problem's solution. These —don't faint—Bolsheviks, are the great social engineers upon whom I center al my faith." City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and Atty. Francis E. Rivers of New York City were speakers, Sunday afternoon, at a meeting of the Forest City Civile league in Mt. Zion Cong. church. Both speakers dealt with the economic problems of special concern to our people. Rivers pleaded for the city to move its movements to increase our progress. Just why do our people ask Cleveland's color-line city manager to address them? Haven't they any self and race respect? Remember his mistreatment of our boys and girls at City Hospital!

The state of New York's Education Department has ordered the word "Negro" spelled with a capital "N" whenever used in the schools of the state. "Negroes" who were never able to achieve any business success for themselves, were never able to run successfully even a peanut stand, are at the head of some of our banks, insurance and finance companies, etc., and without any training in the business drive to "do big things" when they were never able to successfully do little things. No wonder so many fail. Our people should be more careful when approached and asked to "buy stock" by these "business men" and others. A thousand more singers are needed to take part in Cleveland's first mammoth musical festival with a chorus of more than 3000 voices to be held at Public Hall, June 17, 18 and 19.

This device was shown in London recently and is becoming popular. NATIONAL PARKS QUITE POPULAR Big Increase Seen in Construction of Better Forest Roads. National forests of the United States, located in various parts of the country, are becoming increasingly popular as touring grounds for motorists, and each succeeding year sees a greater number of motor vehicles passing through these beautiful preserves. This is pointed out by Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club, who says that with this increase in motor touring in the national forests there is to be noted a corresponding increase in the total of improved roads located within them. Works on Better Roads. "Figures forwarded to us from national headquarters of the American Automobile association with which we are affiliated, show that recent work on forest roads has brought the total of improved highways there up to 3,775, while the total of all forest roads is 13,911. "Each year witnesses a gain in the number of motorists who are attracted by the unsurpassed beauties of our national forests, and each year also witnesses additional miles added to the chain of improved roads which is making these delightful areas available to all motor car owners. More Vacationists in Parks. "But statistics alone do not tell the whole story of the rising popularity of the national forests as objectives of countless motor tours. A check-up of our own local touring bureau reveals that we directed more vacationists to the national parks during the last year than in any other similar period. "The increased mileage of improved roads, of course, has had a markedly stimulating effect, and with the policy of constantly advancing that total of mileage strongly in effect we can look forward to a greater flow of cars to the forests next year." Splashed Oil Is Due to Carelessness of Owner Much that passes for oil leakage around the engine is the result of carelessness in adding oil to the crankcase. Just a little oil, spilled over the outside of the filler pipe, will splatter around the engine and give the appearance of trouble. Since most filler pipes are located toward the front end of the engine the oil that is spilled is nearer the fan and is more easily picked up and scattered. In some arrangements any oil that is spilled will run down over the front of the timing gear case and drip on the lower fan pulley. This may cause slippage of the belt and overheating of the engine. At the high speeds cars now travel oil is apt to be blown back to the rear of the engine, where it may be mistaken for leakage from the oil lead to the pressure gauge on the instrument board. Value of Oil Filter Is Demonstrated in Tests That engine wear is directly proportionate to the amount of abrasives in the lubricating oil was demonstrated recently in a series of interesting oil filter tests made by research engineers. The test showed that there is practically no wear with clean oil, but that with the abrasives the wear increases rapidly. The oil filter keeps the abrasive content down to an average of .025 per cent. When it is known that the crankcase oil in an average car after 500 miles running will have 10 per cent abrasives, the important work accomplished by the oil filter can readily be appreciated. After 10,000 miles the oil filter's filtering unit becomes filled with foreign matter taken from the oil. When this takes place the filter ceases to function properly and it is important that the motorist have it serviced. MOTOR QUIZ (How Many Can You Answer?) Q.—What is the average daily run of a tourist now as compared with ten years ago? What are the contributing factors for this increase? Ans.—The average daily run of a tourist has increased from 100 miles ten years ago to 234 miles today. Better highways, motor car improvements, more adequate sign-posting, improved motor facilities and the raising of speed limits have helped increase this average. Q.—What devices save oil and minimize wear on cars? Ans.-The, air cleaner eliminates dirt from the intake air; the crank-case ventilator removes water vapor; the oil filter removes sludge and other foreign matter from the oil and the thermostat keeps the engine and oil at the proper temperature. Except in the case of the oil-wetted type of air cleaner, the only unit that requires attention is the oil filter, which should be renewed every 10,000 miles. Q.-What results when the storage battery falls completely? Ans.-The engine will be rendered as useless as if the gas tank were empty. Q.-What care should the battery receive? Ans.—The battery should be kept at its maximum charge at all times, and never permitted to stand in a discharged state. Fast charging should be avoided. Before unscrewing the filler caps it is a good plan to wash the top of the battery with a solution of ammonia water. The electrolyte level should always be kept above the plates. American Tires Found to Be Puncture Proof A usual test which a newly sold car must go through in Rome—that of driving the loaded car over boards filled with nails to show the skeptical Irishans that the tires—American made—are really puncture-proof. AUTOMOBILE ITEMS An optimist is one who only sees the first installment. Whoever said "drive carefully for you may meet another fool" was right. The proper amount of air in tires at all times means long life for the casings. Berlin has a traffic cop who speaks 16 languages. Our cops manage to say plenty in just one. The man with a vacant look in his eye explained that he had been half an hour hunting a parking place. Many an automobile starts a cross-country trip without knowing how far it will be carried down the track. The public's prejudice against the drivers of those one-eyed autos at night is coming to be shared by the police and the cost of police court fines would keep two headlights burning. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1929 UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD WIDE BRIM HATS OF GAY STRAWS OFFER MILADY A VARIED CHOICE IN MATTER of the evening silhouette assuredly "variety is the spice of life." It is, however, observable that fashion is abandoning ingenuity types in favor of more sophisticated contours. A comparison of the complicated interworkings of draperies, panels, floures and such, as now exists, with the naive lines of a few seasons ago brings the realization of how far we have departed from the simplicity of the near yesteryears. In the delineation of new contours princess and bustle silhouettes share with supple and subtle draperies which involve dipping hemlines. Thus lines are tuned to individualities, which adds still another fascination to the evening mode. It is very evident, too, that it is the backs of gowns which are claiming the greater genus of stylists. This is especially true of treatments which develop the bustle silhouette in terms of tiered loops, puffs, huge butterfly bows and other artful maneuverings of fabric. An exponent of the very latest in evening silhouettes is shown in the picture. Flowered taffeta, which is one of the season's highlighted fabrics for party and dance frocks, was chosen for the making of this picturesque model. By combining the new prin- WIDE BRIM HATS O OFFER MILADY WELCOME wide brims! It is a very fascinating and timely chapter which the hat wide of brim is writing into the story of spring and summer millinery. Really, after all we have a right to expect wide brims, for what with the feminine note being so widely exploited in present-day fashions it is not possible for them to stay out of the picture. Speaking of wide brims, if you are going to the seashore this summer be sure to take a very, very broad-brimmed rustic hat along to wear with your beach pajama ensemble, of course assuming that your costume is styled with the new very full and belted-in-at-the-waistline trousers, topped with a tuck-in blouse. However, the wide brims of immediate concern are those modlish for town wear, such as the several types pictured here. As will be seen in this illustration there is no lack of novelty or diversity in this season's wide brims. One of the most interesting types in this group is the hat with the roll-off-the-face brim shown in the lower right corner of the picture. This model brings its message of smartness direct from one of the leading ateliers of Paris. The first hat in the group rolls its brim up at one side, drooping the other in most graceful manner. To the right at the top is a glossy linen-like straw whose wide brim is fluted at one side near the back. A charming sports hat in natural colored balliballu is pictured in the y Your Co or an Acqu cess lines with an elaborate back treatment, the designer here achieves an utterly modern silhouette. The vogue for certain other types of sprightly contours which animate the evening scene no doubt trace their beginning to the lavish use of tulle which so characterized winter evening fashions, favor for which still continues. This insistent call for stiff yet sheer materials accounts for the new "starched" nets and chiffons which express the drier cri in party frock media. Sillouettes wherein these stiffened transparencies so enchantingly play their role call for a slim straight upper part of the crook, usually of satin or tafeta or any preferred contrasting material, reaching half way down the skirt, at which point occur abruptly flaring flouces of the tulle or "starched" chiffon or net. The multilayer treatment is employed for these flouces, also rippling circular-cut effects which measure yards and yards and more yards around the hemline. All of which goes to show that the modern evening silhouette is a thing of exaggerated lines which intrigues feminine fancy through its many charming eccentricities. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. © 1929, Western Newspaper Union. OF GAY STRAWS A VARIED CHOICE panel. It is piped with navy blue and banded with blue held with a gold metal clasp. Straws in natural color are a very much exploited theme this season. The new eggshell tint is charming. It has a more subtle beauty than either tan or beige. Many hats carry this exquisite color in monotone and it is as attractive in the smart linenlike straws as it is in felt or crochet visca. It also combines handsome with other colors. Among other of the new wide brims are those which reverse the usual order of things by being much broader at the back than the front. These drooping wide brims are featured in various ways. Sometimes the hat is "all brim" at the back and none at the front, the straw being plaited in to form a frill across the nap of the neck. Then again the simple brim is not plaited, but measures considerably wider at the back with a medium brim in front. With supple transparent hair hats of dressier mien than the tailored bakus, ballibunts, bangkoks and such, the tendency is to drape the brim at the front up against the crown, allowing it to flare wide at the sides and the back.

Gregg Opposed to Our Girls Entering City Hospital School for Nurses in Common With the Girls of All Other Classes or Races in This Community. When Councilman Russel S. Brown brot up his resolution, in the caucus of Republican members of the City Council, to open the local City Hospital to our girls, desiring to become trained nurses, and to our internes, Councilman Gregg objected to expect our girls to train for nurses with white girls at that public institution. What do you think of that? Our boys and girls have been studying and training together in the public institutions of this city for more than fifty years. Brown is also alleged to have said that Gregg asked that what was said in that meeting would not be repeated on the outside and that he (Brown) refused to accede to Gregg's request. The following letters are pertinent and self-explanatory. Cleveland, Apr. 6th, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Edition 2019. Dear Sir;—I am somewhat surprised to read your editorial "Not Time" of April 6th publication, an absolutely false statement accredited to me and by Rev. Russell S. Brown. It will be hard for me to believe that a Christian gentleman with a falsehood, for I have high regard for him as a Christian gentleman. I believe that no man has labored harder for negro advancement in Cleveland than I, and yet I wish to add that. I have more confidence in moral suasion and diplomacy as a means of achievement than radicalism. Very truly yours, E. J. Gregg, M. D. Councilman Gregg says he didn't say it, while Councilmen Brown and George say he did. The difference is only a question of veracity between the gentlemen named, with two against one. Therefore, the preponderance of evidence is against Gregg. If Gregg has ever "labored hard for Negro" advancement in Cleveland, we have failed to learn of it, the we have watched his career here ever since he landed, from "down home".—Editor. Brown Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, O, April 9, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I appreciate your calling me over the telephone and apprizing me of that part of Dr. Gregg's letter to you which refers to me. I did not give you the information which was the basis of your editorial presume you got it from some one who talked with me about the matter. First, let me give you the "heart" of the resolution referred to: "That a special committee of three members of this Council, to be appointed by the mayor, is hereby authorized and directed to investigate the operation of the City Hospital and any contracts of the city with any institutions or agencies with a license, or with any other and equal opportunities are accorded all citizens for training in medical and nursing professions". This was discussed in a meeting among a number of friends. It was at that meeting that Dr. E. J. Gregg opposed the resolution on the ground that it was untimely; that there existed an organization of white nurses who would not allow their nurses to work with other nurses, and if we tried to force colored girls into the City Hospital it might disrupt the morale of the entire hospital. I maintained then, as I do now, that an official investigation and report on the matter will give us a basis on which to work. It is both timely and right to open the City Hospital for older boys and girls. This is near as it is humanly possible to quote the facts. The doctor (Gregg) and I were not the only members of our race present. Atty. Clayborn George councilman, was also present. Please call him and ask him to relate what he understood Dr. Gregg to say. Mr. George favored the resolution, as did most persons present. Very truly yours, Russell S. Brown. George Also Says Gregg Said It. Cleveland, April 9, '29. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Dear Mr. Smith:—In answer to your inquiry over the telephone, today, with reference to statements made by Dr. E. J. Gregg, I wish to advise that I was present at a meeting where a proposed resolution of Rev. Russell Brown was being discussed. This resolution in substance asked for an investigation on the part of the City Council of the City Hospital with reference to equal opportunities being being the training of nurses and interns. According to my best recollection, Dr. Gregg said that the American Association of Nurses of New York and Philadelphia objected to the training of white and colored nurses in the same hospital, and because of the attitude of the American Nurses' Association he thought the resolution was untimely. He further said that if colored nurses were placed into the City Hospital would develop the structure of and afterward the services rendered there, and for that reason he was opposed to the placing of colored nurses in the City Hospital. Dr. Gregg further said that he did not believe that this would be true with reference to colored internes. He was also opposed to the resolution because he felt that more could be accomplished by working quietly than by giving publicity to it. Hoping this may give you the information desired, I remain, Gregg's reasons for opposing the admission of our girls in the nursing school at the City Hospital are simply ridiculous and a rank insult to all of our people of this community. —Editor. GO BACK "HOME" GREGG! Councilman E. J. Gregg is opposed to our people exercising their citizen rights in a public institution supported by the taxpayers of the community, among whom we number thousands, because organized prejudiced white nurses "would not work with our nurses", he says, and because "forcing our girls into the City Hospital nurse-school might disrupt the morale of the entire hospital," he continues. Now, really can you believe that a sure member of the race, a doctor and a city councilman, too, could possibly deliver himself, in this day and time and in this city, of such rot, and, too, in the presence and hearing of white colleagues, members of the Cleveland City Council? O, Lord God of Hosts, have mercy! "We should worry" whether prejudiced white nurses worked with ours or not, and whether "the morale of the entire City Hospital" was "disrupted" or not! As far as the former are concerned, "we don't give a darn", and as the latter, if any persons are to worry about that "morale" let the public's servants in charge of City Hospital, who are paid by the taxpayers thousands of whom are our people, do it. And we are not so sure there would be any, when those nurses or others at the hospital, who are prejudiced, were told they could stay or go, as they saw fit. Why is Gregg so anxious to please prejudiced persons, even to the extent of denying his own people their citizen rights in that public institution? Is the man bereft or what in the world is the matter with him? One thing sure, he is in the wrong city and state with such "down home" stuff in his mind and should "up stakes" and hurry on back to "dear old Tennessee" or wherever in the South he came from. He is more than fifty years behind the times, for this section of the moral vineyard. Go back South, Gregg! And for God's sake and that of your own people of this city, at least, stay there until you can "take that red bandanna off your head". Here, you are in the way and trying to "block the runways". GREEG'S LATEST HOSPITAL IDEAS Addressing the Baptist Ministers' meeting, April 15, Councilman E. J. Gregg is said to have announced that he was not now advocating a "jim-crow" hospital for this city, but one on the East-side of the city, the majority of its official personnel (those in charge of it) to be "Negroes". Such an institution would do the same harm that a "jim-crow" hospital would, because ALL "Negro" patients that went to the other hospitals in the city, as they do now, would be sent to Gregg's "makeshift" institution, and that would rob our people of the right to enter the other hospitals as they do now. Then, too, there is no need of such a half or two-thirds "jim-crow" institution, since "Negro" patients in this community are being better cared for now than they could possibly ever hope to be in a "hospital" such as Gregg advocates for the selfish purpose of getting a few jobs for "jim-crow Negroes", physicians and others, who do not seem to be able to make a good living otherwise. Is this the thing that City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and Councilman Gregg have been "rubbing noses or heads" over for the past year or so? We want to know! Cleveland will never start or maintain such an unnecessary thing. Let the "jim-crow Negroes", physicians and others, do it if they can. There will be no objection to their having such a private institution. Why don't they reel in "jim-crow" hospitals and about everything else. They are making nuisances of themselves here, trying to not only impede our peoples' progress in this Clayborne George community but positively trying to make them retrograde. Shame! Our local contemporary, quotes Councilman E. J. Gregg as saying, last week, in reference to what Councilmen Russell S. Brown and Clayborne George say he said at that caucus of Republican members of the Cleveland City Council, several weeks ago, referred to on page 4 of this paper: "Did you make such a statement? Gregg was asked", said our local contemporary, last week. "No, that's a damned lie", replied Gregg, according to said contemporary. Rev. Dr. R. S. Brown, pastor of Mt. Zion Congregational church, and Atty. Clayborne George, councilman colleagues of Gregg, say he did say it, that they distinctly heard him, and have sent letters to that effect to The Gazette which we published, last week, and give again, this week, for the express purpose of combating just such a statement as Gregg is credited with by our local contemporary. Now then what sort of man is this Dr. E. J. Gregg, councilman, that he uses such language in referring to the truthful statements of his colleagues of color, one of whom is a Christian minister? And we understand that Gregg is a member of Zion Hill Baptist church. What must its members and his constituents and the public think of him? To another question, Gregg is quoted as saying: "H—ll, no!" Well, well, WELL! 'Isn't that and his other reply (above) awful? What say you, Rev. Dr. C. C. Ailer, pastor of Zion Hill Baptist church? Will the members of your congregation "church" Gregg? Brown and George sure have their colleague of color in a hole and a big one, too. But that is not a "marker" to what his constituents will do to him, if he has the temerity to be a candidate for re-election, this fall. Goodbye! Gregg. Attention! Readers!

The Truth: What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us, our beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (III.) Whip. Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law to expose it and, if possible, punish it. And I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNells, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) 25¢ —is the right price to pay for a good tooth paste— LISTERINE TOOTH PASTE Large Tube 25¢
