DO YOU WANT A FINE LAD? Here Is the Opportunity, If You Can Qualify—Something of the Great Work of Cleveland's Humane Society. The Cleveland Humane Society, 520 Federal Reserve bank bldg., has 300 of our children under care at the present time in its free, wage, boarding and adoptive homes. Older children are usually placed in wage homes where they are paid a wage sufficient to cover their personal expense for services rendered outside of school hours and during vacations. Free homes are used for children who lack children and are financially able to care for a child are often glad to provide a free home. Children, whose family ties have been severed, are placed in the homes of prospective adoptive parents for a year before the final papers are signed. This period of probation makes possible a satisfactory adjustment of the child to the home and insures the satisfaction of the foster parents in children who lack children and are financially able to care for a child are often glad to provide a free home. Children are placed in foster homes, at a fixed rate of board, in cases where there is a possibility of restoring and returning the children to their own home. The parents are expected to pay the board and furnish clothing when they are financially able. If the parents are not able to support the child, the board is paid by the Community Fund through the Humane Society. The Society is now in need of a good care provider for the children of the country for a most attractive little boy of the race, age 10. His parents are separated and the father is not able to keep the home together. The boy is in excellent health, but is growing rather tall and thin, and should have the advantage of fresh air and sunshine. He is in the third grade at school. Because of his mother's long illness, he needs a home where he will not only have affection and understanding with his parents. His boarding home should be located near a good public school. Persons interested in this boy should write to Mrs. Streater, 520 Federal Reserve bank bldg., or call her at MAIN 8382, for further information. Bruce Flowers was outpainted in a limited bout in N. Y. City, Monday night, about the time "Gorilla" Jones of Akron was getting the same treatment, in a ten-round bout, at the hands of Welterweight Champion "Jackie" Fields (white) in San Francisco. The title was not at stake. Jones kept "Jackie" busy all the time, and a muscular encounter, with the pair exchanging punches toe to toe or driving each other around the ring.

PRESIDENT ROBERT WILKINSON To Address Land Grant College Conference to Convene in "The Windy City", Next Month — "S. C. State" Continues to Progress. Orangesburg, S. C. The annual meeting of presidents and leaders of our land-grant colleges and universities will convene in Chicago Nov. 12 to 15, during which time Dr. R. Shaw Wilkinson, president of S. C. State A. & M. college here will deliver several addresses. Because of the general awakening among Afro-Americans to the need of a technical and agricultural education, a great and imperative duty has been placed upon the shoulders of the college president to ensure decided changes have been made for the better. A few of the seventeen land- President Robert Shaw Wilkinson. grant colleges have attained "A" grade rating, according to the record of the Federal Educational Board headed by Dr. Klein, among which number West Virginia State College and A. & T. College. With the continued improvement in faculty and equipment that has been shown by S. C. State College she will soon also be accepted by the Board as a standard "A" grade college with courses leading to an unchallenged degree in Mechanic Arts, Home Economics and Agricultural Education. The average attendance of the seventeen colleges numbers about six hundred, a decided increase over a few years ago. Lloyd Robinson, an employee of the Courtland Bldg. barber shop, was called to Virginia, last week, to attend his mother's funeral. He has the earnest sympathy of many friends in his bereavement. Will Marry Chinese. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Mr. and Mrs. C.

The Chinese youth came to this country to study. Both are much interested in American drama, and he has said to China after we are married, "the young man said, 'to introduce the American drama in the land of my birth'." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS COUNCILMAN GREGG, DEMOGRAT COUNCILMAN GREGG, DEMOGRAT REFUSED TO VOTE FOR CITY CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONER HARRY E. DAVIS! Now He Advocates a "Jim Crow" Hospital and Styles It "An East Side Branch of the City Hospital" Don't Vote for Gregg! The principal issue in this campaign is whether or not the next City Council will be controlled by the Democratic party. This is the bald issue after camouflaging and smoke-screens are removed. In 1927, Dr. E. J. Gregg was a candidate in the election in the Third District. He then described himself as an independent Republican. He was elected by Republican votes and by a Republican constituency. Yet after election his first official act was to attend the Democratic party caucus. The test of party affiliations in any legislative body is attendance at the party caucus. Make no mistake about this. When Dr. Gregg attended the Democratic caucus, he definitely aligned with the Democratic party when he found that his alliance with the Democrats was not politically expedient, he deserved them, too, and stands, today, without the support of either party, and justly so. Because of his wavering and treachous (political) attitude, Dr. Gregg completely destroyed the influence he might have had as a Council member, and his record is correspondingly weak and colorless. are not deceitful. Dr. Gregg's unintentional declaration that he is a Democrat and say to him in this election, "Look to Democrats for your votes!" At the first meeting of the Council, in 1928, Cleveland's Afro-American citizenship was honored by the election of Hon. Harry E. Davis as a member of the Civil Service Commission. Mr. Davis' candidacy was sponsored by the Republican party as a recognition of the increasing voting power and loyal Republicanism of our citizens. He had had an advantage in the election as a member of the Ohio Legislature for four terms, during which time he was recognized as one of the leaders of that body and was honored with its most important committee chairmanship on two occasions. The public press and various civic bodies were practically unanimous in approving the character and qualifications of Mr. Davis. It was the highest office of dignity and trust ever tendered an Afro-American in Cleveland. In only two other cities in the country, the Civil Service Commission, Yet, to the almae of the and white citizens alike. Dr. Gregg refused to vote for Mr. Davis who had publicly advocated his election. Instead, he voted for Mr. Orlikowski (white), the Democratic caucus nominee! To justify his vote, Dr. Gregg lambly explained that he wanted the Polish population of Cleveland to have representation. What about his own people? Very well, then, let him look to that same (Democratic) element for his votes in 1929. Dr. Gregg by his vote, lost the confidence of his own people, posed in him by his own people and his constituency to whom he is now appealing for a second term. Our oldest newspaper in Ohio, "The Old Reliable" Gazette, promptly and correctly characterized Gregas as a "one-term councilman". Let's make this prophecy a fact! Do You Want Segregated "Jim-Crow" Institutions in Cleveland"? Of course not! Cleveland is situated in the heart of the old Western Reserve, a territory dedicated to freedom and education in 1787. The high abolition traditions of justice and freedom were transplanted here from New England. Our population has absolutely guarded its political civility traits. It has always resisted encroachments which involved discrimination, segregation and social insult. Yet, Dr. Gregg, in the face of this high sentiment, has steadily advocated a "jim-crow" hospital, on the East Side of the city, designated primarily for the use of Cleveland's Afro-American citizens. This proposed institution is thinly veiled as a "jim-crow" hospital at the City Hospital. Don't be fooled by this. Such a hospital will be a segregated "jim-crow" hospital! Dr. Gregg has gathered about him a group of selfish "Negro" doctors, who want a "jim-crow" hospital for surgical experimentation upon poor, but worthy, families of color. Do you want your families to be practiced upon, so that these selfish doctors can gain "experience"? Not one of their own families to such an institution, but our poor, but unfortunate brethren are proper subjects for the knife, they think. Thousands of our citizens left the South. where "im-crow" is king, to THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

This week we mark the seventh anniversary of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. Seventy years ago this system of stores, the oldest and largest of the system, had its inception in New York City in a small shop that specialized in teas and coffees—today more than 15,000 A. & P. stores serve cities, towns and villages in 34 states as well as in Canada. The superintendent in charge of the local A. & P. food stores, tells a fascinating story about his company: "Most people think of A. & P. as just a vast number of stores all over the country," he said, "without further thought about the complex and intricate organization necessary to run those stores, to buy'food' for them, to bake bread' to can salmon, to roast coffee, to ship and truck all those foods to thousands of stores—and to do all this on so large a scale that A. & P. stores can serve 5,000,000 customers each day. "Every child knows what 'mass production' is, knows that a great factory can produce automobiles or tires or steel in huge quantities at a far lower cost than a small shop. But few realize that 'mass distribution', which is exactly the same mass print applied to the costly work of bringing community so that the people can see it and buy it, results in even greater savings to the public. "To purchase coffee, the company maintains thirty offices in South America, which ship direct to A. & P. in this country. A. & P. has become the largest coffee merchant in the world, selling more than one-tenth of all consumed in America. Thirty modern A. & P. bakeries supply between a million and a half and two million customers in the middle western dairy lands 150,000,000 pounds, a year. On the coast of Alaska A. & P. operates six canneries that pack fresh-caught salmon within twelve hours after it leaves the water. A billion eggs are sold each year by A. & P. stores. One-seventh of all the tea consumed in the United States is distributed to A. & P.'s millions of customers—most of it obtained from A. & P.'s agents at big auctions in Calcutta, India and Colombo. To celebrate the 70th anniversary, local as well as all other A. & P. stores have announced an anniversary sale, to last all of this week. ```markdown ``` IN UNION IT IS STRONGER 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 350,000 in Ohio. 40,000 in Cleveland. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1929. Our failure, last week, to acknowledge The Gazette's indebtedness to the Cleveland Daily Press for that excellent portrait of Phil Edwards and his bride is keenly regretted. It was an oversight. --- Do not vote for Councilman E. J. Grégg, "jim-crow" hospital advocate. He was an independent Republican at first. Then a Democrat and later on a would-be Republican. What he is now is something we do not know. Wonder if he knows? --- Our voters must not overlook the fact that Judge Virgil J. Terrell, one of the very best on the local Municipal Court bench and a good friend of the race, is a candidate for re-election at this time. ---||||--- Send one dollar and ten cents to the Hon. J. C. Manning and get his two splendid books, "Fadeout of Populism" and his memoirs. See advertisement elsewhere in this paper. The ten cents will cover the cost of mailing the books to you. Take advantage of this exceptional offer. Isadore Goldsmith, editor of the Cleveland Federationist, an old resident of the city, is a fourth district candidate for the city council our people can depend upon for a square deal at all times and in all places. The editor of The Gazette has known Editor Goldsmith for many years and does not hesitate to commend him to voters generally. He will make an "A 1" councilman. Phillip W. Porter's statement, in last Friday's Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer, to the effect that Dr. Leroy N. Bundy led the Charter Amendment forces, in all three of the contests, is in error. Last year, he (Bundy) did not do so but maintained the alleged neutral position of the Republican organization. Mr. Harley Doncaster was in charge and led, that year, and Dr. Horace C. Balley, Dr. E. A. Bailley and the editor of The Gazette led in the campaign speaking for our people. --- The Gazette has said little or nothing of the candidacy of Dr. James A. Owen, who like Dr. E. J. Gregg, is a Democratic candidate for the City Council in the Third District, because he, too, is impossible, principally because he has, from the very first, been Gregg's messenger boy in the "jim-crow" East Side Branch of the City Hospital movement Gregg and City Manager Will R. Hopkins inaugurated about a year ago. Do not vote for the Democratic candidates Gregg and Owen. --- The latest stunt of certain Chicago advertising agencies, styling themselves "Publishers' Representatives" and dealing in "foreign" newspaper advertising, is an effort to more than double their income by charging newspapers, with which they do business, two commissions, the regular one and an additional 20%. This is almost as bad as another Chicago newspaper advertising agency's "feature" supplement, magazine or whatever it is called. Our newspapers should be on the lookout for these "Shylocks". The rental fee of $35 was paid to the trustees for a Republican mass meeting to have been held, Thursday evening, at Shiloh Baptist church, this city, it did not materialize because the assistant pastor of the church, Rev. Wm. H. Jackson, aided and abetted by Deacons E. D. Stewart, Owen Brannigan and J. M. Cornellius (it is said), vetoed the meeting, claiming to be acting in accordance with the pastor's orders. He (Rev. A. L. Boone), one of the "round robin" signers of some weeks ago, is absent in Texas where he was recently called by pressing business matters, it is said. Dr. L. N. Bundy's activities, in August of this year, in behalf of the Charter Amendment did not please hlm, it seems, but ought to insure Bundy's election, next month, nevertheless. --- Do not fail to vote against and thus help to defeat the proposed 10.5-mills fixed levy for operation of the city. This was also strongly urged, Monday, by the Citizens' league, which, at the same time, turned thumbs down on the Hubbell subway plan. Also vote against the four city bond issues totaling $7,845,000. County Auditor John A. Zangerle was right when he recommended the defeat of the proposed 10.5-mill tax limitation amendment to the city charter. The auditor says the 10.5-mill levy increases the taxes (and rent) $1,200,000 and usually knows what he is talking about. --- The biggest joke of the campaign about to close is Councilman (?) E. J. Gregg's pamphlet headed, "One Good Term Deserves Another". And by the way, it is full of just such silly nonsense about Gregg, the independent Republican, then Democrat; later a would-be Republican but rejected by the Republican organization when he sought its endorsement; and now what is he, if not a Democrat? If there is a bigger joke than that little campaign pamphlet, it is Gregg himself, in the council. He aure is a "bust" as a councilman. Not a single "Negro", Afro-American or "Colored" man or woman in this city should even think of voting for such a candidate as Gregg. Pass the word along. GREGG AND SEGREGATION In a letter, under date, Oct. 14, '29, W. Walton Banks, 13004 Buckeye Rd., City, wrote the editor: "Knowing your attitude toward anything that looks like segregation, I am taking this opportunity to let the thoughtful voters of the third district know where Dr. Gregg, councilman, stands in regard to the scaled East Side Branch of the City Hospital, but in fact a 'jim-crow' one. On a banner in front of Zion Hill church you will find printed these words: 'If elected there this house, Negroes on the East Side.' This is a known knowledge that he (Gregg) is in favor of a 'jim-crow' hospital. Thanking you for printing this letter in The Gazette, I remain, respectfully, W. Walton Banks'. Editor, Plain Dealer, Dear Sir:—This morning's Plain Dealer says, in speaking of Councilman E. J. Gregg, a candidate for re-election: "In 1927 he ran as a Democrat and later began to attend Republican caucuses." The fact is, Dr. Gregg did not run "as a Democrat", two years ago, but was elected as an independent Republican, the writer being one of those who campaigned at that time in the interest of his independent Republican candidacy. However, the Plain Dealer is right in saying that he lined up with the Democrats in the Council, and later on with the Republicans with a view to getting the endorsement of the Republican organization for his present candidacy which was refused him. During the recent Charter Amendment contest, Gregg remained neutral and did not openly espouse the cause of the manager plan, as far as I have been able to learn. The "colored people" of this community, a few "colored" doctors excepted, are opposed to the Gregg candidacy because he advocates "a City Hospital branch for colored people, located in the East End." Gregg's advocacy of "improvement in the crowded housing situation" in the "roaring third" was a huge joke as the numerous "for rent" signs on stores and houses in that section attested and still attest! "The Coolidge Good Times" never came to that section of the city as well as to the others, so there was no "crowded housing situation." "BEHIND THE LINES". Lemuel T. Boydston post will give a minstrel show and revue in Little theater, Public Hall, Monday evening, for the benefit of its fund for orphans' Xmas dinner, and the place should be crowded to the doors! This organization's dinner for orphans and other poor children, last Xmas, was the outstanding social function of that holiday season and was praised on all sides by everyone. So let all put their shoulders to the wheel on Monday evening and help the post put over with a bang its exceptionally meritorious minstrel show and revue to help raise money for a similar holiday dinner, this fall. Samuel V. Perry, a member of Boydston post, is author of the show and revue and "A Jenkins' Cotton Pickers", with Al Roberts, have donated their services for the occasion. Others to be featured are Louia V. Jones, our local violinist de luxe; Harry Ford, cornetist extraordinary; Fitzhugh Woodford, Harry G. Williams, Dancer & Whitley. "Behind the Lines" is to be SOME "show and revue". Don't miss it! Many leading residents of various groups, classes or races will be in the large audience and you cannot afford to be absent, on Monday evening, from Little Theater. Show Boydston post that you still honor and esteem highly our veterans of all the American wars as well as having a warm place in your heart for our orphans and poor kiddies. Few, very few, of our people but "measure up" to this. Show it, Monday evening, at Little theater. ELECT LOUIS A. PERRY A Judge of the Municipal Court—Capable, Experienced, Fair and Deserving Atty. Louis A. Perry, 9922 Olivet Ave., is a candidate for the Municipal Court Bench at the election. IS JUDGE MECK GUILTY? If local daily newspapers, on Saturday last, quoted Judge David C. Meck of the "muny" court correctly, and we are loth to believe they did, he sure has a most peculiar idea of what constitutes discrimination under our Ohio Civil Rights law, an idea that we have never seen in print or heard of before. Four men, one a member of the race, went into a local restaurant, in August of this year, and were told by two waitresses that they could not be served. The manager then told the four that they could not eat in the place unless they went to the mezzanine where they were served by a bus boy. To cap all this palpable discrimination, one dollar "service charge" was added to their check. Discrimination and insult were indicated by the waitresses. Actual discrimination and insult took place when they were refused service in the restaurant proper and were sent to the mezzanine. Additional discrimination and insult followed when 'the bus boy' (and not the waitresses or a waitress) waited on them, and when the extra charge was added to their check for the repeated discrimination and the insults. The judge's "ruling" and "holding" in the last two paragraphs of the article, published elsewhere in this paper, would be extremely amusing if it were not so serious a matter. If the judge has been correctly quoted by the Plain Dealer, it is really too bad that he is not a candidate for reelection. Nov. 5, '29. However, there'll come a time. Doings of the Race Phil Edwards' German bride was born in Alsace-Lorraine. Dr. Charles E. Bentley of Chicago, leading dentist, died recently. Prof. Neval H. Thomas, of Washington, D. C., is ill at a sister's, there. The N. Y. News says there are sixty-nine Afro-American mayors. Ohio has two or three of them, at least. Our Elks (national), have $46,000 in their treasury, says G. E. R. R. J. Finley Wilson's paper, The Washington (D. C.) Eagle. Last year the government appropriation for Howard University, Washington, D. C., totalled $600,000. In addition, gifts totalling $900,000 were secured for the university by President M. W. Johnson. Cardinal Patrick J. Hayes, the great Catholic prelate of N. Y. City, says: "Every Catholic church is wide open for any one who wishes to enter it for devotional purposes". A rap at the Texas "cracker" rector, Blackshear, now a resident of Brooklyn, N. Y.

Mr. Rhodes was in the city, some weeks ago, on a business trip to N. Y. City. The Herman H. Finkle mass meeting at his headquarters, 5006 Woodland Ave., Wednesday evening, was attended by about three hundred persons and very enthusiastic indeed. Atty. Alex. Bernstein his "side-kick" presided in his usual suave and effective manner and the list of speakers was long and singularly strong among the number being other third district candidates, several ministers, doctors, Hon. John P. and Atty. Wm. R. Green, Mesdames H. M. Walker and Lethia Fleming and Mary B. Martin, our candidate for the School Board. John Brown, dead for more than half a century, marched again, last Saturday night, in the Women's City club, 1826 E. 13th St., as Stephen Nebent Benet, young American poet, died on Saturday. In war, "John Brown's Body," to several hundred members, Benet, barely 30 years old, was recently awarded the Pulitzer prize for the poem which has as its motif the life and character of several national figures in war period. Benet declared that the nature of American literature lay in the use of American culture as its subject. Somewhat of a minor sensation occurred in Quinn A. M. E. chapel, E. 130th St. and Bell Ave., Monday night, where Councilman Charles Sacks and his followers were having a campaign meeting. Mrs. Irving Newmark started the excitement when she appeared with literature for Herbert P. Miller, who is opposing Sacks. When Maurice Kahn, the supporter, called this to the attention of the court, he turned up, and charged that Sacks had helped Kahn to take away her husband's job at the courthouse. "She also said that Kahn gave me $400," Sacks said. "Of course it's untrue." All the participants in this "hot time" are not members of the race.

The proceeds of this sale are to be used for the scholarship fund of the Council which is used to enable gifted boys and girls to obtain a better education otherwise unavailable. This is a very worthy effort, so help! Atty. Julius M. Kovachy, former chief police prosecutor, is a candidate for judge of the municipal court. A graduate of Central High school, the University of Pennsylvania and Cleveland Law School, he served as chief police prosecutor. He is an ally well qualified for the position. Mr. Kovachy has a fine record for fairness to all of the varied groups or races in this cosmopolitan city.

Yaskey & Sons, Freetown, Sierra Leone, British West Africa, seeing the Famous Cap Factory advertisement in "The Old Reliable" Gazette, wrote that thriving business enterprise, under date, Sept. 9, '29, the letter being received by Mr. Harry Mendelson, manager, just one month later, on Oct. 9, '29, sending a cash order "to the value of twenty pounds sterling (over one hundred dollars in our money)" for samples of caps and hats; gents', ladies' and children's socks and stockings in cotton, cashmere and silk in various shades". Going some, eh? "The Old Reliable", we have reference to Several complaints have reached The Gazette, last week and this, to the effect that police headquarters in radio-ing to flying squads has persisted in using the offensive term, "nigger". Wonder if headquarters uses the other mongrel terms: "Mick", "sheeny", "dago", "dutch" (for German), etc., in referring to the Irish, Jews, Italians, etc., respectively? All of this is insulting to the various classes, races or groups in this city, and wrong! And should not be permitted by Director of Public Safety Edwin D. Barry. The police who do this should remember that they are insulting thousands upon thousands to help to pay them their wages, and that they ought to be "fired" instanter. When notified, Wednesday, Director Barry immediately notified Chief Grauf to see that the cause of these complaints was eliminated immediately. Our readers will notify The Gazette promptly, if there is a recurrence. RE-ELECT MARTIN L. SWEENEY One of the Best Judges on the Municipal Court Bench—A Real Friend of the Race. Martin L.

A White Lie. NOW, YOU MARCH IN THERE AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU TOLD YOUR TEACHER A FALSE HOOD IT WAS TO SAVE SOMEBODY FROM GETTIN PUNISHED HERBERT P. MILLER A Republican Candidate for Council in the Second District Exceptionally. Well Equipped. In urging the candidacy of Herbert P. Miller for Councilman from the Second District, we feel that the City of Cleveland needs men with Mr. Miller's qualifications in our Council. He is energetic, honest and a successful attorney with offices in the Leader building. We feel that he is capable and has the courage to stand for his convictions. He has been an active Republican but has advanced the cause of clean government and has proven that he has not been guided by private interests or partisan politics. In a statement, Mr. Miller has said that the citizens of the second district, although they pay the same rate of taxes as other districts in the city, have in the past received the least amount of improvements; and will be his aim to see that his district will get his share of public improvements. The Council of Cleveland, through a number of its members, has fallen in the estimation of our citizens, and it is our duty at this time to overcome this shame by the election of efficient and intelligent men such as Mr. Miller. We sadly need new blood and an efficient business administration in our councilmanic body. Mr. Miller must rearm and reined in Cleveland, is a man of integrity, is a director and interested in several large companies, and has practiced law for several years. His business and legal training eminently qualifies him for an excellent Councilman. He is one of the firm of Miller-Becker Co., located at E. 65th St. and Central Ave., which employs about 25 of our people at the Miller District. All 11 members to endorse Mr. Miller's candidate as ways treated members of the race more than fair. And they are all working for the success of Herbert P. Miller. HAS MADE GOOD with millions!

Eaitor, The Press, ‘The News and The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sirs:—Aceording to an item in your paper of Sept. 3, ‘29 certain Colored doctors in this city are ask- ing for the establishment of an east side branch’ of the City Hospital, something all the residents of the City of Cleveland for nearly a century have not thought or found necessary. Several of our councilmen’ have in- formed the writer that the City Ho» pital has several or more wards that are not in use because the city is too poor to put them in proper condition. In view of this, the writer is won- dering where it will find the money to comply with the suggestion of the aforementioned Colored doctors and if it was able to do so, what justiti- cation it would have for such misuse of the taxpayers’ money. The dis- crimination said doctors complain of as existing in the City Hospital can easily be eradicated by going into the courts because the City Hospital fs a public institution and the law prohibits racial discrimination against citizens. It the Colored doctors referred to wish a hospital of any kind, branch or otherwise, there is nothing to pre- vent their establishing such an instl- tution, but there are strong and ef. fective arguments against the use o! public funds for any such purpose ‘Then, too, a three-story addition tc the City Hospital is now being built Barry C. Smt, Editor, Gazette. ‘THAT “JIM-CROW” HOSPITAL AGAIN. ‘The Gazette on Sept. 3, '29 was furnished with a lengthy resolution signed, or alleged to have been sign- ed, by a number of local “Negro” doctors favoring an East Side Branch of the City Hospital, only anotner name for a local ‘tjim-crow" hospi- tal. The resolution contains noth- ing new on either side of the sub- en care of. No-one denies that. If Ject, but does emphasize the distres- ‘sing fact that its signers have little or no concern for the future rights, privileges and progress of their peo- ‘ple in this community, as far as lo- Color-line Gov. Myers Y. Cooper was sure busy, Sept. 29, making ‘emancipation celebration speeches in Cincinnati and London where he ad- Aressed about 125 persons, men, women and children, His “emanci- pation day” activities were perform- ed in a most spectacular way with the help of the daily press of the state, in a vain effort to win to his support Ohio Afro-Americans who would have none of him when he ran the first time and was deftated, and took less interest, if possible, in his second campaign when the large Ohio Hoover landslide swept him in- to office. For many years prior to his entrance into politics, Cooper was in the real estate business in Cincinnati where he demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of our peo- ple of that city, and the state of Ohio, his anti-‘Negro” propensities, refusing to sell’ our people property and homes and endeavoring to drive others of the race from homes they had already purchased. He did these things in an effort to please the col- ‘or or race prejudice, or both, of his community, and make money. That is why The Gazetto has from the first continued its opposition to Coo- per’ candidacles for governor and will do so again when he stands for renomination and re-election. We believe he is a ku kluxer because of his anti-‘Negro” activities not only in his home town, Cincinnati, for many years, but because of his fail- ure oF rather refusal to recognize our people with proper or reatly any worthwhile appointments since he became governor, a year ago last fall. His talk in Cincinnati, Sun- day, of the’“appointment of a com- mission of outstanding Colored peo- ple to consider ways and means to provide greater opportunities for the Colored man and to secure for him profitable employment, the commis- sion to work ander the department of education of the state” is bun- combe and political hckum, pure and simple, and {s not going to fool but very few of our people—some of the most ignorant and “‘jim-crow Ne- goes”. Since becoming governor, Cooper has directly and indirectly made hundreds of appointments but not ome worthwhile position has been given to our people. Of course, this does not surprise us and we are not calling attention to it for that reason because we did not expect him to do so. But we are cailing attention to the fact only for the -. VOTE =) FIRST . CHOICE Herbert P. Miller COUNCILMAN Second District cal hospitals are concerned. ‘Negro’ en care of. No-one denies that. If patients of Cleveland are being tak- there is segregation at the City Hos- vital and denial of rights and priv- ileges to our internes and girls in that public institution and its nurses’ training school, which is the case these things do not justify the estab- lishment of a “Jim-crow” East-Side- Branch of the City Hospital, but can ve eliminated promptly whenever our people sce fit to take the proper legal action. As we have repeatedly said, the estaolishment 6f a “jn crow" East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital would close the doors of all other Cleveland hospitals to our people who would be told to “go to your own hospital” whenever they made application for admission to other local hospitals. The resolu- tion’s reference to “the Jewish sec- tion, the Italian section, the Irish section, ete.”, reminds one of the fact that no-one of these sections {: asking for a segregated hospital for thetr own group or class, but have the good sense and judgment to usc the city and other local hospital: just as our people are doing. The “jim-erow” hospital advocates’ ref- erence to the Central Ave. bat) house and the Harlem hospital, New York City, is not pertinent, neither making any such condition as would the establishment of a “jim-crow” hospital in this city. The fact is that “if an East-Side-Branch of the Cleveland City Hospital” was locat ed in the “Negro section”, a year would not pass over our heads be- fore every “Negro” making applica tion for admission to any other loca hospital but the “‘jim-crow” hospita would be forced to go to it and b barred from the other hospitals o the city. They would be told to g to their own hospital and everybody knows this, including the “‘Jim-crow’ adyocates*ot an East-Side-Branch 0} City Hospital who would make a few Jobs for themselves at even so grea participate in the present hospital offered by the city of Cleveland for the training of physicians and nurs greater discrimination, segregatior ‘@ sacrifice to all of our people of the community. Their statement tha they “are opposed to any city insti tution which practices segregation’ placed alongside of their advocac: purpose of showing and proving that Color-line Real Estate Dealer Myers Y¥. Cooper of Cincinnati is running true to form a8 the color-line gover nor of the great state of Ohio. The Governor said in his speech, Sunday, that “the ‘Colored man has a righ to his chance, to is opportuatty to make good". Sure he bas, and’ we cannot understand why the present governor of Ohio refuses to acknowl- edge this in a practical way also in- stead of merely saying it. Again the governor sala: “ato discriminate against peo ple who are sincerely trying to get on in the world and to do their part ts good citizens, is to make an owt Gry against. juste and right”. ‘Wo know of no oficlal in the state, from governor down to con- Siablo, who is making a louder “out cry against justice and right”, just at this time, than Ohio's color-line governor, ayers Y- Cooper.

This latest movement of the local advocates of a “jim- crow” East-Side-Branch of the City Hospital can be traced directly to the success of their ally, Color-line City Manager Hopkins, and the man- ager plan at the recent special elec- tion, We repeat, there will be no ‘jim-crow” hospital or East-Side- Branch of the City Hospital located in the “Negro section” of Cleveland.

Yes, again quoting from the governor's emancipation speech in Cincinnati, Sunday: ‘We ought to take care of the American’ Negto and give him his chance”, but “we” never will do so if we follow the precedent established by Color- line Gov. Myers Y. Cooper who steadfastly refuses to appoint a sin- gle “Negro” to a worthwhide posi- tion in his administration of the state's affairs. There will be no Hoover landslide to carry him into office, next time, and the Ohio Afro- American voter, loyal to his people and with self and race respect, will be found on the political ramparts firing into the Cooper camp, in the next campaign, just as he did, and successfully too, three years ago, last fall. Cooper's political bun- combe and hokum, Sunday, will avati nite nothing with our 4eopis. rer: Ca | GEN 2 | ( s op \ G4 FFE A | aa) 7 | : | ees) 4 | ~~ ~-w~¢ q G) - | GEetere connoney pes] Sees zm l aA é HE CAhihe (wy AY 4 3 a = a 70th L' Birthday Celebration Co: nes \ October 21 to 26 “Clebrate op Bienes Qytcy | < gs | Butter eae rou “> 49C Chipso 2 re. 35C | Regular Value | Swansdown cake Flour Phe. 29€ Savane, | Nucoa For Cooking or Table Use Lb.

Under the heading “Discrimina- tion Charge Made", last Saturday's Cleveland Plain Dealer published the following: “Ernest M. Taylor, manager of Mills Restaurant, 315 Euclid Ave., was arraigned before Judge David C. Meck in Municipal Court yesterday charged with discriminating against Talbert White, Negro, of 7010 Cedar Ave. 8S. E.. when he went to the res- iach Wiuch GoueLGen the “Judge Meck continued the case until next Friday after part of the testimony had been taken. The con- tinuance was granted to allow the prosecution to obtain additional evi- dence, “It was testified that White with three white men went to the eating place at 2:30 in the afternoon. Two waitresses are alleged to have halted them with the implication that they could not be served. Taylor, it was testified, told the four they could not eat in the place unless they went to the mezzanine. There they were served by a bus boy. When their aided oe a teen kee hoe added as a “service charge,” it was said. “Judge Meck ruled that there was no discrimination in the men being sent to the mezzanine or their being served by a bus boy. He said the jaw made mandatory only ‘service substantially the same as that ren- dered to all guests.” “The judge held, however, that there might be discrimination ‘if the “service charge" was not usual to all guests. He added that there was no testimony in the record to show that the service charge was not collected from all patrons. The complainants were given a week to obtain evidence on that point.” Vote for 8. M.
