Attention: Mr. Biehl.
**Mention:** Mr. Rich.
Dear Sir, has attention has come to me that the Hon. H. Smith, editor of The Gazette, is about to print something derogatory to me.
This letter is to say that whatever he may say is absolutely false and untrue and that I expect to hold you and your company responsible for the slanderous article which may appear in the paper.
Yours truly,
(Signed) Gordon H. Simpson.
The editor of The Gazette does not recall ever having met Gordon H. Simpson, and therefore does not know him. It might, however, be interesting to know just what the "something degratory" (to him) is that even the thot of the publication of it so greatly perturbed him as to cause him to send, or have sent, such a letter as the foregoing to The Richl Printing Co. instead of sending it to the editor and owner of The Gazette. It would have been even better been to have called at The Gazette office where all persons are treated courteously and kindly who conduct themselves properly.
Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette.
DOINGS OF THE RACE.
Richmond and Lynchburg, Va. are now about the only cities in the country that impose white principals on "Negro" schools.
Dr. Geo. C. Hall of Chicago died, last week Tuesday. He had been ill for some time. Dr. Hall was born in Michigan in 1864, and was surgeon-in-chief and trustee of Provident Hospital, Chicago.
Paul Robeson plans to live long in Germany where Reinhardt, his manager, has promised him that he may alternate drama with his concert form. Paul will study under the masters of the German stage as well as those of German singing. His success in England in the part of "Othello" is tremendous.
Henry Ossawa Tanner, age 71, born in Pittsburgh, educated at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and by Jean Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant in Paris, reared in Philadelphia, son of Bishop Tannen (deceased), has resided in Paris, France, for many years and is the best-known and most famous American artist, specializing in religious paintings, which have been exhibited throughout Europe and America.

ROUNDER
So, Candidate J. Walter Wills, Sr., is bucking "Maschke and the Republican organization." Well, well, well! Fine chance he has of being elected a member of the State Senate and, too, before ever serving a day in the Ohio House of Representatives. Rich, isn't it?
Rev. D. O. Walker of James' A. M. E. church introduced a Democratic candidate for sheriff, John Sulzmann, to St. James Forum, Sunday afternoon, as a special speaker. Sulzmann, when councilman, voted to name "Bloom" Hill at the Ray farm at Hudson in honor of Colorline Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom. That ought to settle his candidacy for sheriff with our people of this community.
"The Blossom Triplets" were among the eighteen councilmen who accompanied their good friend (?) Color-Line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom to the Boys' Farm at Hudson, O., Sunday, to witness the dedication of Cooley hall, the newest building there. No, they did not take any part in the exercises, according to the account in Monday's Plain Dealer. Was a color-line drawn on them by the Safety Director, like the one he drew on our boys and girls who wished to train at the City Hospital during the last five years?
Councilman George's campaign manager in the last election, Luffbore L. Yancey, was finally given a position, last week, as senior cashier in the city treasurer's office. Clarence Shaw, campaign manager for Councilman Bundy, has not as yet been given a job, although Harvey Atkins, Councilman Payne's campaign manager, has a clerkship in the city clerk's office. Yancey was not selected for any political consideration, City Treasurer Russell V. Johnson said, but because he was not qualified of a large number of applicants. Yancey is a graduate of Haines Industrial Institute of Augusta, Ga., and of Lincoln University of Chester, Pa. He lives at 2127 E. 83d St. Bundy is "out of luck."
A member of the "Colored Republican League of Cuyahoga County" informs "The Rounder" that its president, Councilman Bundy, induced the organization to put J. Walter Wills, Sr., and Mrs. Louise J. Pridegon in the field as candidates for the state legislature. Wills for the senate and Atty. Pridegon for the house. He promised to secure the endorsement of the Republican organization for them, and when he failed in the race he urged them to enter the race for the purpose of "bucking Maschke and the organization," so our informant says. Wills "bit," but it was not. "I did not ducked" after a conference with Mr. Maschke. The same informant says that Bundy had the tentative promise of the other two "Blossom Triplets" (Councilmen Payne and George) to stay away from the conference Mr. Maschke called, last Sunday morning week, on the Herman Kohen matter, but that George "got cold feet" and very properly decided to go. This made it necessary for the other two "triplets" Bundy and Payne, to "trail along" and attend the Maschke conference on Monday. "I was very being ing," Maschke and the organization and getting no where, as usual. What was that Barnum said, many years ago, about "one being born every minute?" Mose Dixon says he is a candidate for the legislature "on his own." We, too, agree with Mose. No Bundy for him.
That "Blossom Triplet," Councilman Larry Payne, officially opened his fight on the Flemings (Lethia and Tom) for the leadership of Ward 11, in a meeting, Thursday evening, at 4117 Central Ave. The other members of the committee are Dundy; Senator George H. Bender and Rev. C. H. Crab, pastor of Mt. Haven Baptist church, were announced as the speakers of the evening, in addition to Payne who was expected to make the "keynote" speech, "the effort of his life," but failed dismally to answer the question. Payne fell far short of measuring up to former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming's 11th ward

Republican organization demonstration in the Western Reserve Republican club rooms on last week Friday evening. The speakers on that occasion were Atty. Alex. Bernstein, m. F. Erick, candidate for sheriff; W. F. Curtis, candidate for eminent lawyer; B. Jackson, Atty. B. Druske, A. H. Martin, and "Col. Sidney B. Thompson. Fleming presided. During the course of her remarks Mrs. Fleming, whom Payne hopes to defeat for Republican leader of ward 11, charged her political foes with bad faith and an attempt to end the Fleming influence in ward 11", in order to carry their part of a bargain. The last fall when she agreed not to run as candidate for the City Council to succeed her husband, thus clearing the "runway" for the virtually uncontested election of Payne. "They talk about exterminating the Fleming influence, but they can't do it." Mrs. Fleming said, "If they were us, political leaders in that, we would be living in some other field." She told her candidates for committee that they were "the organiza-
Payne.
tion candidates", and said Payne had not and never would obtain as many jobs for our people as "the Fleming influence" had.
"They talk about getting positions, but without braggadocio I can say that Mr. Fleming could match them position for position, and what is more, there is a vast difference between positions and jobs, and Mr. Fleming on that score could match all three of them ("The Blossom Triplets", Councilman Payne, Bundy and George.")
The meeting was largely attended and very enthusiastic, all of which does not augur well for the future of "The Blossom Triplets".
Political colleagues of the three colored legislators ("The Blossom Triplets") professed to be mystified over the consideration that led the trio to threaten to "hold out" on Maschke. — The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Another interesting angle is that Fleming (and Maschke) is backing Harris while Councilman Bundy, who is aiding Councilman Payne in a fight to overthrow Fleming as ward leader, is backing Arthur H. Day, the opposing candidate—The Cleveland News.
In indorsing Arthur H. Day for the Republican nomination for county prosecutor, despite the fact that Maurice Maschke, party leader, opposes Day's candidacy and is backing George B. Harris, the Seventeenth Ward Republican club "has no disposition to defy Maschke," Councillman B. Bundy, who explained last night. He said the Seventeenth was not bolting from Maschke or revolting against the organization, but merely expressing a preference.—The Plain Dealer. How exacerbatingly funny! Another angle in the situation is that this is not the first time that Bundy and his followers have declined to follow the dictates of Maschke. The council temporarily blocked election of Councilman Herman H. Kohen, last Saturday. (Then they "took to the woods")
No Danger or This:
Added significance in the club's action is the fact that the colored voters play a large part in determining the Republican party's ticket in a primary. If all the colored organizations refuse to follow Maschke and support Day instead of Harris,

President Hoover's "prosperity," which like the "Coolidge good times," has failed to materialize: his position on the Veteran's bill, his Judge John J. Parker U. S. Supreme Court appointment which failed, and the unpopular Smooth Hawley tariff bill which he signed and made a law, are not going to help his candidacy for a second term in the White House, two years hence, and are not going to help the Republican party in the elections, this fall, in the various states of the country. This sure does not look like a Republican year.

The City Manager Plan has been defeated twice in St. Paul, Minn., we are pleased to announce, once last November, and again June 16 of this year. The editor of The Gazette derives considerable satisfaction from these St. Paul results because early last year he was asked by the executive secretary of the leading civic organization of that city to express his views on the City Manager Plan. The editor's article fernsth the plan, was promptly relayed to City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins of this city, who as promptly wrote the editor expressing his great surprise and disappointment.
AN APPRECIATION
If there is any one thing all of our people of this community—not only Garret A. Morgan, his family and friends—thorouly appreciate it, it is City Law Director Harold H. Burton's decision of Tuesday to not appeal to the Ohio Supreme court the decision of the Appellate court, granting Garret A. Morgan a mandamus directing the city finance-director to pay him the $2,000 voted him by the City Council and withheld for many months. Morgan, as the writer personally knows, was the hero of that 1916 crib-tunnel disaster and at the behest of city officials. For this, he has been insulted and harassed, for more than a year, almost beyond endurance as the result of the opposition led by Mayo Fessler, executive secretary of the Citizens' League. While we are thankening our very efficient city manager for his sensible and correct decision we must not overlook the most commendable action of the Appellate court, Judges John J. Sullivan, Manuel Levine and Willis Vickery, and particularly the latter's comment in handing down the court's very proper decision to grant the mandamus.
POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN OHIO.
In reply to the letter sent him several weeks ago, by our Laymen's League of Cuyahoga County, Roy S Rector, pres., Gov. Myers Y. Cooper has written Mr. Louis Williams, secretary of the league, that there are no openings at this time in the State Board of Clemency and the Industrial Commission which he could fill by the appointment of an Afro-American. He does not say that he would do this if there were, and does not indicate that there is an opening in any other state board or commission; nor does he explain why no member of the race has been given an outstanding position in any department of his administration during the past year and a half. He does, however, refer to the placing of one Howard Greer of Cincinnati in a minor position "in connection with the Industrial Commission" and claims to "have appointed a parole officer to aid, in connection with the colored prisoners, Dr. E. W. B. Curry." "Both of these are insignificant." "jim-crow" positions. The Governor might have added that his messenger also is a member of the race. What we have said on more than one occasion in the past we repeat. Gov. Myers Y. Cooper can write and say some very nice things to the thousands of Afro-American Republicans in the state of Ohio, but to date he has failed utterly to meas-
ure up, in the matter of appointments, to his nice talk to our people. We would suggest to the more or less distinguished Cincinnati the importance of doing this very thing before election, this fall, because the outlook for Republican success, owing to the most unfortunate economic condition alone, is anything but encouraging, especially since he and others on the ticket are on the defensive and will not have the benefit, this year, of the assistance of the exceptionally large vote brot out by the Republican presidential candidate, Herbert Hoover, a year last fall, when the governor was swept into office by it after having been badly defeated for the same position, two years previous. The few insignificant jobs he has given to Afro-Americans will not arouse any enthusiasm in his behalf among our class of people, this fall, when he will need every vote in the Republican party of the state of Ohio, and then some, we fear. The Laymen's League of Cuyahoga County in its letter to the Governor, under date of May 22, 1930, but voiced the desire of the great mass of our voters of this state when it asked him for the appointments of a few Afro-Americans to "outstanding positions" in his administration of the state's affairs. His continued refusal to grant so reasonable a request and one, too, that he virtually promised in his many talks to our voters, last fall a year ago, will only serve to make his defeat certain in November next.
OKLAHOMA POLITICAL HOKUM
Representative U. S. Stone, (Repub.) of Oklahoma, has introduced a resolution in the lower house of the Congress "to create a Mob Law Commission to investigate and study the lynching of citizens by mobs, or otherwise, in order that a proper law may be enacted." Political hokum and a little political "gallery-playing" for the edification of his constituents, and also for Democrats in his Congressional district (and the state of Oklahoma) which is nominally Democratic. Stone's political hokum, his resolution, has been introduced primarily for the purpose of forestalling, if possible, the introduction or passage of an anti-lynching bill like Representative Dyer's, which is based upon our Ohio Mob Violence Act or Anti-Lynching law. Stone expects his resolution, for different reasons, to commend him particularly to the Democrats of his district whom he wishes to use to a greater or less extent when he stands for-election. His "explanation" as to why the introduction of his resolution is so thin it falls far short of explaining, even in a small way. He says that the passage of his resolution creating a mob law commission is the only way of "suggesting legislation that would meet the approval of the administration." Ridiculous! As a matter of fact, Stone who was a candidate for governor of Oklahoma in 1918, ran for the U. S. Senate in 1922, and was elected to Congress in 1928, as we have already said, is but trying to "pave the way" for his canvass for re-election to the U. S. House of Representatives.
CURRY DIES SUDDENLY.
Educator, Minister and Politician-
Active in the Fulton School
Field of Law Years Ago
On the Wrong Side
A Cooper Appointee.
Springfield, O.,—Eleven years ago E. W. B. Curry, age 59, born at Delaware, O., came to this city from Urbana where he conducted what he named The Curry Normal and Industrial Institute, and edited "The Informer," a monthly publication which did not appear regularly. About ten years ago, he was elected pastor of Second Baptist church here, which position he resigned the early part of this year, after several years' pressure for his resignation, the direct office of his wife, the Ku Klux Klan element of this community in its effort to establish separate schools for our people of Springfield. Thruout his pastorate of the church here, he was president of the so-called "institute" at Urbana, and was "supply pastor" of Second Baptist church at Columbus. About a year ago, Gov. Myers Y. Cooper had him appointed as the head of a jim-crow" bureau in the state and parole department of the state's attorney Curry was about the only Afro-American of any prominence in the state of Ohio that the Governor could secure to assist him in his campaign for election, a year ago last fall. Curry as a politician was an "in and out," supporting Democratic or Republican nominee at will, during the past quarter of a century. He died suddenly at 3:30 A. M., last week Thursday, at his home here, 709 S. Wittenberg Ave. He was apparently the head of his office. Curry fired the night before after having driven his family in a newly purchased automobile to Urbana and back here. Surviving him are: the widow, a son and daughter, all of this city; and two sisters who reside in Columbus.
Burn DePriest in Effigy
Birmingham, Ala — Oscar De Priest, our only congressman (from Illinois) was burned in effigy by 1,000 Ku Klux Klan in regalia in the "Negro" section of North Birmingham, last week Thursday night. Tom Johnson, Communist organizer, also was burned in effigy. De Priest is scheduled to address a state gathering of our people here, July 17. He has been denied use of the city andditorium.

Our mor-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been
Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. 93 161 2. Section 6279. The term "secular injury" for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 1)
Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars from the county in which the assault is made (93 v. 163 4).
Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in persecution by the hood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12 5.)
Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor surviving, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.)
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by mob members in section 6283 v. 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.)
Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in which such recovery tax lay for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)
Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.)
Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal person. A person killed or seriously injured by a person from of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.)
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 state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows:
BJS.
ed.
representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another.
costs in tax levy.
inst member of mob
inst another county.
Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.)
Section 6289. This chapter shall 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. Smitha' Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted - while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894:
The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12340. Whoever, being the provider or the employee, keeper or manager of an establishment eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the facilities or privileges thereof, fines not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both.
Sec. 12341. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and person aggrieved thereby to be reelected in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law was 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.

THE ROUNDER
Maschke may take a beating.—The News.
Add to the foregoing symposium, Councilman Payne's fight on the Republican organization's candidates for committeemen in ward 11, to which reference is made elsewhere by "The Rounder", and it will not take anyone long to realize what is going to happen to "The Blossom Triplets", next year in the fall-time. The fact that Councilman Clayborne George is to be credited with stopping Bundy from keeping all three of his wives with him, Mr. Maschke, Sunday morning week, as he (Maschke) requested, is a thing in his favor which if enlarged upon by our councilman from the fourth district may eventually "save his bacon", next year.
PRESSES FLEMING PLEA
His Counsel Files Statement With U. S. Supreme Court—Miller's Failure Cited.
Washington, D. C.-Atty, Alex H. Martin, of Cleveland, O. counsel for former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, also of Cleveland, last week, filed in the U. S. supreme court here a statement to show that the court has the power to consider Fleming's appeal from conviction of bribery. The statement asserted the failure of County Prosecutor Miller to charge acceptance of a check instead of "money," made faulty the indictment on which Fleming was convicted and deprived him of his right to be informed of the charge against him. A section of the general code was violated to mustain the court. Fleming was sentenced to two years and nine months in the Ohio penitentiary following "conviction of accepting a $200 bribe from the late Walter Oehme, Cleveland, Ohio, policeman, whom he had helped materially, financially, on several occasions. The former councilman still stoutly maintains his innocence of the charge.
HANGS ON TO TUT'S KIN.
Berlin Refuses to Return Bust of
Historic Sheep to Egypt—
Different if She Were
Berlin, Germany. — King Tuts' mother-in-law will remain in Berlin after all. It appears from a letter of the Prussian minister of education to the director general of the state museum that negotiations for the return of the Nefretifi bust to Egypt have broken down. The minister expresses satisfaction that the director general asked him to "refuse permission for exchange" of the bust for other works of art although such a trade would mean enrichment of the museum. "Such enrichment," the letter adds, "must not be purchased at the price of losing a work like the Nefretifi which is of such a fascinatingly modern appeal."
DISTINGUISHED MARKSMAN!
Washington, D. C.—The secretary of war has designated Sergt. Scott Bradford, headquarters company, 24th Inf. Fort Benning, Ga., a distinguished marksman and has ordered that a distinguished marksman's badge be issued to him. Sergt. Bradford is the only enlisted man of the 24th Infantry who is authorized to wear the badge and is the first 24th Inf. soldier to have this distinction since 1916. He was our only soldier to become a shooting team member. S. Inf. team of 1929, which won the national rifle team match in competition against 107 other teams representing the regular army, marine corps, coast guard, national guard, the R. O. T. C., the C. M. T. C., and various civilian organizations.

The Civil Service Commission has announced examinations, for July and August, for about twenty-five city and county positions. The schedule of these examinations can be secured at the office of the commission in the city hall. Some of them are: Carpenter foreman, physical instructor, watchman, record clerk at the City Hospital, brick-layer helper, engineering alder water clerk, maintenance operator, water permit inspector, information clerk, tree-trimmer, gardener, school-garden helper, principal clerk, chemical house attendant, garbage plant repair foreman, etc.
No; Cleveland should not have a "jim-crow Y," and more than that, is not going to have one, either. This answers a question. Any of our young men, "those living in the city and those coming to the city," who wish "a place with wholesome environment (in which) to stay" and cannot be satisfied with one other than in a "jim-crow Y." can pass on to "Columbus and even smaller cities" burdened with such a pest. That kind of a "jim-crow Negro" is not needed or wanted in Cleveland. "Pittsburgh has no colored schools." Yet Pittsburgh has a colored Y. M. C. A." That explains why Pittsburgh has no colored teachers in its public schools. "Cleveland has many colored teachers (over one hundred) in its public schools" because it has steadily refused to permit the establishment of a "jim-crow Y," the entering wedge to separate schools and much other vitally harmful segregation in every community where one is tolerated. The Cedar Boys' "Y" was not "established as a substitute" for a "jim-crow Y," but was started to accommodate both boys and adults of all classes and races eligible to all classes and races eligible to those persons who are bleeding. The school should should get together and direct their efforts toward seeing that proper admission is made to the 122nd branch (Cleveland Y. M. C. A. headquarters), or go on surfeit with segregation and color lines of all kinds.

Poor Highways Found to
Be Rather Expensive
Based on an annual mileage of 11,
000, this year’s motoring will cost
the car owner who drives on poor
roads $226.60 more than the expendi-
tures of motorists who drive the same
distance on high-type roads, accord-
ing to the touring department of the
Detroit Automobile club.
‘This wide difference in the cost
of motoring 1s calculated from fig-
ures furnished the motor club by the
highway education board. The board
based its findings on the cost of op-
erating an automobile of the average
size.
“Tt costs an average of $.0206 per
mile more to drive a car on a bad
Yoad than on a good highway,” says
& motor club statement. “While this
sum may seem negligible, one year of
@riving 11,000 miles on poor roads will
result in the additional cost already
mentioned. It is a fact that the ap-
proximate tax upon each car owner
for a system of adequate highways
fs, with respect to the country at large,
in the neighborhood of one-tenth of
the additional cost of driving over
bad roads for one year.
“In approving any good roads pro-
grams motorists are therefore approv-
ing an fhvestment that will annually
bring them dividends 10 times. the
size. of their original investment. It
would be extremely difficult to con-
ceive @ manner in which money could
be invested more profitably.”

BEACH belles are enjoying a new
thrill this season—costumes which
reflect the romance and the color glory
of peasant dress,
Not only are the picturesque-minded
intrigued by the peasant prints which
are “the latest” for beach costumes,
but their quaint styling brings into the
picture a native charm which is most
fascinating and realistic.
It seems that fashlonists like artist
painters are taking delight In eaption-
ing their creations with characteristic
titles, ‘Thus Sehiaparelli whose re-
hown as a stylist is outstanding se-
lects “The Village” as an appropriate
name for the charming little peasant
frock with its contrasting blouse and

one-of the new peasant prints espe-
cially woven for beach, also hostess

oughly practical, the skirt being split
up one side also made removable to
allow sun bathing. ‘The cape is so
styled that at will it may be made to
serve as a beach mat.
‘The same is true of the other cos-

women are tesponding with enthusl-

tallleurs of novelty woolens.
Wherefore many of the smartest
suits of which theymodel in the ple-
ture Is one, are leading a checkered
career. This nobby tailored jacket
and skirt does not hesitate to “fly the
colors,” too, for its checks are in red
and white. The jacket is worn over
a white Jumper which tucks neatly in-
side the pleated skirt as the majority
of blouses do this season.
‘This Is indeed proving & “sult sea-
son.” Not for years has there been
‘such a widesprend demand for jacket
and skirt tailleurs to be worn with
the separate blouse. ‘The fact that the
woolens and silks employed for these

for chic, is the hat (usually a beret)
made of the identical tweed or, nov-
elty cloth of the suit. This fashion
was at first thought to be only an
early spring idea, but the vogue is
becoming inereasingly popular for
travel and town wear. Not infre-
quently shoes and handbag of the
same material complement the suit
and its hat,
It’s ever so ultra to wear white ac-
cessories with one’s suit this season,
especially if it be of a black and
white novelty weave. This movement
on the part of Parisian fashionists
leads to the all-white cheapeau, either

items in white are likewise very flat-

Washington, D. C., June 3, ’30.
Hon. Harry C. ‘Smith,
Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, 0.
Dear Mr. Smith:—From the item,
relative to the appointment of M. A.
Campagna as superintendent of spe-
‘clalized employment service for vet-
erans, recently established in Cleve-
land,’ which appeared on the front
page of your issue of May 31st, I
can only assume that you are not
aware of the facts in the case. Con-
sequently, I am writing to advise
you that Mr. Campagna is a World
War Veteran who honorably and
actively served his country during
that struggle, and you may be in-
terested to know that so far as I
was concerned there was no thought
of recommending other than a
‘World War veteran. I am sure you
would not intentionally give your
readers the wrong impression and
that is what prompts me to write
you in this manner, If you desire
the service record of Mr. Campagna
I will be pleased to see that you re-
ceive it.
Very truly yours,
Chester €. Bolton,
Congressman Bolton's Mistake.
June 5, 1930.
Hon, Chester C. Bolton,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:—Your letter of June 3,
30, just received, making clear the
fact that you have not read carefully
the publication in my paper of May
31, '30, to which your letter refers,
That you may do so I am enclosing
the article reterred to being careful
to underscore the sentences. you ap-
parently have overlooked. In your
letter to me, you write:
“You may be interested to know
that so far as I was concerned there
was no thought of recommending
other than a World War veteran.”
‘There was positively nothing in
the article in question that gave any
other impression than is carried. in
the foregoing. Indeed, our publica-
tion but paralieled it; made the same
impression and did not. give. our
readers “the wrong impression.” It
is difficult for me to imagine how
you could possibly so misunderstand
our publication.
In conclusion I wish to again sug:
gest that you see to it that Super.
intendent M.A. Campagna gives one
or more of the Afro-American World
War veterans places in the clerical
force ‘of the World War Veterans
local employment bureau.
Very truly yours,
Harry C. Smith,
Editor, Gazette.

M. A. Campagna, for several years
connected with the city employment
agency, has been recommended by
Congressman Bolton as superinten-
dent of the World War Veterans’
employment bureau to be opened
here, this month, a dispateh from
Washington states. The bureau will
be part of the U. §. department of
labor employment service. Bolton
recommended the appointment of
Miss Millie Millman as secretary of
the agency, which is to serve ex-ser-
vice men under a $100,000 appro-
priation made by Congress, a few
weeks ago. What's the matter with
recommending some of our war vet-
erans for appointment in the agency
‘or bureau, Mr. Bolton? They, too,
are entitled to such recognition. —

Hon. Harry C.’ Smith,

Dear Mr. Smith:—Your letter of
the Sth has arrived and in reply can
only say that I thought you had in
mind all World War veterans and
not one particular group.
According to my information there
is to be just a superintendent and
one stenographer in the Veterans
Employment office at Cleveland and
of course those positions are already
filled.
Very truly yours,
Chester C.' Bolton.
Cleveland, O., June 17, 1930.
The Hon. Chester C. Bolton,
Member of Congress,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Bolton:
Your letter of June 10, just re-
ceived (re-printed above)’ contains
the following:
“I thought you had in mind all
World war veterans and not one par-
tiewlar group.”
‘That is exactly what made me sug-
gest recognition for both groups,
since you recommended M. A. Cam-
pagna for superintendent of the lo-
cal World War Veteran Employment
Bureau, I do not quite understand
how you failed to recommend for
secretary or stenographer of the
agency the daughter or wife of some
Afro-American World war veteran
rather than giving both appoint-
ments to “one particular group.”
‘And is Miss Millie Millman the
daughter of a World war veteran?
Since both positions have been
Sided: there to ucthios, 1 presume:
that can be done at this time for the
recognition of Afro-American World
War yeterans. But when there is a
vacancy in either position or the
number of employees of the agency
is increased, I sincerely trust that
you will see that the recognition re-
ferred to is given.
Very truly yours,
Harry ©. Smith.

Hon. Harry C. Smith,

Dear Mr. Smith:—I have yours of
the 17th and can only say in reply
that I have already indicated my de-
sire to see the colored citizens of
Cleveland represented in the person-
nel of the Veterans Employment Bu-
reau, if more appointments are
made.
Just what the outcome will be I
do not know, but I can appreciate
your interest and assure you of my
Gesire to be entirely fair.

‘THAT “SOROLL OF DISTINCTION”
Cleveland, June 3, 1930.
Mr. Chas. W. Greene,
129 Southern Ave.,
Springfield, 0.
Dear Friend:—
I have been unable to learn of
any regularly constituted citizens’
committee, local or otherwise, pur-
ported to have J. Walter Wills, Sr.,
as chairman and Norman L. McGhee
as secretary, that is alleged to have
issued the "Scroll of Distinction” to
Dr. Emmett J. Scott and Dr. John R.
Hawkins of Washington, D. C., An-
thony Overton and Robert 8. Abbott
of Chicago, Robert L. Vann of Pitts-
burgh and Alex. H. Martin of this
city. As a matter of fact, persons
alleged to have been members of
said committee, have very readily
assured me that they had no knowl-
edge whatever, previous to May 31,
1980, of Wills’ alleged citizens’ com:
mittee authorizing him, or anyone
else, to issue anything of tho kind,
beyond a “large folder Invitation”
sent to them prior to May 31, 1930,
by Wills.
Therefore, the “Scroll of Distine-
tion” given to the individuals named
in the foregoing, is _ practically
Worthless because it represents the
opinion, as far as Cleveland and Ohio
are concerned, of but one or two
persons. It certainly is a queer pro-
ceeding, to say the least, and takes
what seems to me to be’a very un-
fair advantage of Messrs. Hawkins,
Scott, Abbott, Overton, Vann and
possibly Martin, “The citizens of
Ohio have” NOT “selected the per-
sons named,” or others, “from a
growing line of leaders’ who have
rendered and are rendering excep-
tional service in their respective
fields, as worthy of marked commen-
dation and honor.” As an exhibi-
tion of “nerve,” the issuance of
those “‘Serolls' of Distinetfon” is
about the most stupendous ever seen
or heard of in this section of the
country.
‘Trusting you are in good health
and with best wishes always, I am
sincerely,
Yours for the race,
Harry C. Smith.
CHARACTER.
Character, like a fine old tree,
matures slowly and is a riper
growth than success that is
forced as hothouse products are
forced. Character in a news-
paper develops through years
of service to the people. For
forty-eight years The Gazette,
under its present management,
has been serving our people of
this country. It has gathered a
reader clientele whose tastes it
reflects, and whose power and
responsiveness to buy are direct
measures of its present impor-
tance to every advertiser.
