Rash (white) charged with murder of Eck Knuckles, to find Rash "not guilty" and recommend his acquittal. He shot the officer and escaped to escape arrest. The prosecution contended that the arrest was illegal as the officer had no warrant and the charges were too trivial to provoke the shooting.

Institute for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who murdered Mary S. Booth on the institute campus, Aug. I. She was superintendent of nurses in the institute hospital, and a sister of Principal R. R. Moton's wife. AFTERMATH OF INJUSTICE. The inevitable has happened,—Poro College, our largest business in Missouri (and in this country), is moving out of that state. No one can blame Mrs. Annie E. Malone, Poro's founder and owner, for her decision to move to that city, imposed a receivership upon that institution, and was a party to stripping it of thousands of dollars by the rankest injustice, every Afro-American knew that property within a state, with such courts is not safe, a highwayman could have done no worse than Missouri did to Poro under the form of law—Kansas City (Mo.) Call. "Wrong to Submit." "It is wrong to submit to evil. It is base to kiss the hand that robs us of our rights. We do not deserve freedom if we can endure slavery. Justice is born of the rebellion against being, as truth is born of protest against the Atlantic submits; the European rebels."—Mangasarian. SOME REPUBLICAN NOMINEES Secretary of State The above is an excellent portrait of Mr. Brown, Ohio's State Secretary who is a candidate for re-election and of course ought to and will Hon. Clarence J. Brown. be re-elected. Mr. Brown, a resident of Blanchester, where he was in the printing business, is a friend of the race who needs no introduction, because this, he has demonstrated by acts rather than by the use of words. The Gazette bears testimony to this. State Treasurer. In a letter to the editor of The Gazette under date, Aug. 16, 1930, Mr. Day, proprietor of The Fremont Nursery and state treasurer, several years ago, and renominated for another term, Aug. 12, 1930, writes: Hon. Harry S. Day. "I know that the colored people have never had any reason to feel any way except the most friendly toward me, and I also know that all the colored people who are personally acquainted with me would testify. If there are those of our people who feel and think otherwise, and we do not believe that there are any, "The Old Reliable" Gazette would like to hear from them at an early date, because The Gazette supported Mr. Day for election when a candidate in years gone by and proposes to take this task, unless there are good reasons why it should not do so. MRS. DELLA EUBANKS' WILL Remembers The N. A. A. C. P. Howard University, the P. W. A., the Mary B. Talbert Home and Individuals.

Springfield, O.—The recent Republican primary campaign was the most lively one in several years. The interest was mainly in the contests for nominations for county offices, and for representatives from this, the seventh congressional district, the contests for county offices were spiring, with the sheriff's office leading, with the deed candidates. Much attention was given "the ored brother." Each candidate had one or more Afro-American workers and apparently much money was spent, thereby furnishing some temporary relief from unemployment. Meetings and lawn fetes where candidates could appear were of almost nightly occurrence in our districts during last week of the campaign. This last week the offices in which there are colored members gave assurance that that condition would be maintained, there was no racial opposition to any of the candidates except O. L. McKinney, prosecuting attorney seeking renomination. He is accused of keeping our people off juries, particularly in the case of Eddie Johnson who was recently tried on a charge of a crime, and acquitted by an all-white law. McKinney was defeated while all other incumbents who sought nominations were successful. The greatest interest was in the contest for member of Congress in which Probate Judge Harry G. Graw of Clarke county opposed Charles Brand of Urbana who is now holding that position Judge Graw Like his predicature Judge W. W. W. taken advantage of the opportunities offered by that court and the Juvenile court, over which he also presides, to air his personal "anti-Negro prejudices." Opposition to Judge Graw was based on the report that he had threatened to dismiss any deputy who issued a marriage license to any couple who were married was white and the other colored (a coloring young lady, Miss Lulu Butter is among the deputies in his office). Judge Graw admits that he issued such an order. It explains that he wanted the exclusive privilege of is- 'STILL GOING STRONG' C. E. A. Hunt, the genial and popular porter instructor who was born, Aug. 15, 1867, is celebrating the sixty-third anniversary of his birth, likewise the thirty-fifth anniversary of continuous service with the Pullman Co. He is well known in church, race and fraternal circles. A. B. Mr. Hunt was a Pullman porter on the road for a number of years but for the past eight years has been porter instructor. He received a number of presents from porters for which he is quite thankful. Our citizens will be glad to know that there is an admirable sketch of the life of Mr. Hunt on page 253 of *Clinton's Colored Citizens*, by W. P. Dabney. — Cincinnati (O.) Union. Mr. Hunt has scores of friends in Cleveland, and elsewhere thruout Ohio, who felicitate him upon the attainment of his sixty-third year of life and all of whom wish him many more birthday anniversaries as well as continued success, good health and prosperity. In this number is the editor of The Gazette, whose long personal friendship for him "Brother" Hunt has steadily increased because of succeeding year because he is a man above the ordinary in many respects. Mr. A. Cain, E. 29th St., is spending part of his vacation with relatives in central Ohio. 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 compari-son with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWBIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. THE COPY FIVE CENTS ATES! NG TOGETHER. AW SHOWED THE OLD RACE PREJUDICE. Opposed to Mixed Marriages age Co. Sued—All Better Now! suing the license in such cases in order that he might have an opportunity to explain to the contracting parties the great danger in the course they proposed; that his experience in the Juvenile Court children of such marriages always or such court and in general had a more difficult time than other children of both white or both colored parentage. There was more along the same line, such as asserting that the "Negro" was as much interested in preserving the "purity" (?) of his race as the whites were in theirs. This formation to a Judge Graw's attitude toward thinking colored voters in the district to the danger of having a representative in Congress with such prejudiced ideas. The district includes nine counties of which Clarke, Greene and Champaign counties with the cities, Springfield, Xenon and Urbana respectively, have nine colored population. Judge Graw supports (for the nomination) by a majority of 1,000 votes. Needless to say that he got some "Negro" support. Suits were filed in the Common Pleas court, last Saturday, against the s. S. Kresge Co. by Charles W. Greene, on behalf of Vivian Jean Greene, a minor, and Mrs. Mamie Fillmore on behalf of Dorothy and Mary M. Fillmore, minors, charging false arrest and claiming damages in the sum of $10,000 each. These cases grew out of the detention and arrest of these children on the behalf of the children who stolen some articles all of which had chased in the Kresge store, and another that had been purchased at another 5 and 10 cent store. In trying to make the children admit that they had stolen the articles from the store, the Kresge employee took them to the basement where they were given "the third degree"—bullied, threatened and left for some time, until a representative of the juvenile court arrived and took charge of them. After being in custody for more than two hours and their stories found to be true, they were released. THE MULATTO REPUBLIC Being Ruled By Younger Men—New Protesters—Bloodless "Revolution" = "Yemen" Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.—The oldest nation in the new world launched a government by young men, Aug. 16. A 37-year-old soldier, Brig. Gen. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, became the youngest head of a sovereign nation when he took the oath of office as president of this little republic, Saturday. Rafael Estrella Urena, three years older than Trujillo and provisional president since the "bloodless revolution" of last February, became vice president. And there are great differences between the new senators and 33 new deputies. The republic's new officials, who rose to power as leaders in February's "youth movement," have set three goals for their four-year term: reduction in government costs, revival of business prosperity and diffusion of popular education. Santo Domingo and Haiti occupy the island of Haiti. Charles B. Curtis, U. S. minister to the Dominican Republic, represented President Hoover at the ceremonies. The new president is a veteran of the Dominican army organized to preserve order after withdrawal of the objectionable American war. He enlisted as a private in 1918, and was appointed rank when occupation ended in 1924. Only two European kings, Zogu I of Albania, and Carol II of Roumania, are younger (each a year) than Gen. Trujillo. STAFFORD-POPE NUPTIALS Alonzo H. Pope and Josephine Stafford were married, Monday evening, by Rev. D. W. Hill, pastor of Mt. Sinai Baptist church, at Mr. and Mrs. Young's, 6113 Thackery Ave. Miss Stafford's employers, Mr. and Mrs. Sayers of Castlewood Drive, their maid and chauffeur, and a number of the bride's friends of the other group, some of them with their maids, also attended the wedding. Others of this number present were: Mr. and Mrs. Sayers' son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Emerle and daughter of Thornhill Dr.; Mrs. and daughter of Portland Ave., and Mr. Goldman Edmundo. Edmundo's groom is a former resident of Detroit. The newlyweds will reside in Cleveland. They have the best wishes of scores of friends of both groups or races for a long, most successful and healthful life. --- One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

The "hard times" which seem to be world-wide, these days, apparently do not mean a thing to the Robert S. Abbott Publishing Co. of Chicago which is issuing the first run of a new magazine (to cost 25 cents a copy) in October. Friend Abbott sure "has his nerve with him." New York City daily newspapers were making a lot of foolish "noise" the first of this week over the fact that Ethel Barrymore, the great actress, and her daughter, Ethel Coit, age 18, are soon to take black-face roles in "Scarlet Sister Mary" which has its opening in Cleveland, Sept. 29. Hokum, hokum, HOKUM! The play was dramatized by Daniel Reed from the novel of Julia Pertlerin that won last year's Pulitzer prize. THE MOORE-DYER CONTEST. Congressman L. C. Dyer (white) defeated Legislator Walthall Moore of St. Louis for renomination in the 12th (colored) district of Missouri, last week, almost two to one. This explains why our repeated candidates in Ohio for the Republican nomination for governor were unsuccessful. Loyalty to one another, as well as to the race, is still too largely an unknown quantity among our people throut the country, we regret to say. Moore polled 4,572 votes and Dyer 8,658. "Spending money sufficient to build an organization to conduct what Congressman Oscar DePriest has termed a house-to-house door-bell campaign" would NOT have materially altered the results. But the support of the Republican organization of that Congressional district, if given Mr. Moore instead of Congressman Dyer (like DePriest received in his Illinois district), would have made Moore a winner. POLITICAL PIRATES. During the recent primary campaign the local daily papers, particularly the Democratic Plain Dealer and The Press, did everything in their power to throw a "monkey-wrench" into the George B. Harris political machinery of the local Republican organization. The object of the two Democratic papers was clearly to cause all the trouble possible among the Republicans of the county and thus help to re-elect Ray T. Miller, the Democratic County Prosecutor. No sooner had primary day passed than both of them came out in long editorials "roasting" Atty. Arthur H. Day whom they had helped to win the nomination. That disclosed the fact that they figured that Atty. Arthur H. Day, as the Republican candidate for County Prosecutor, would be easier to beat on election day than Atty. Geo. B. Harris who had the support of the local Republican organization, the Cleveland Bar association, the Citizens' league and others. Now, the thing for the Republicans of this county to do is to "turn the tables" on them, and the Democrats of the County, by electing Day. It would be a very proper return for the politically piratical course The Plain Dealer and The Press pursued in the primary campaign. The News' support of the entire Republican ticket may make some amends for that paper. But its course during the primary campaign cannot readily be forgotten, even if forgiven. OPPOSE MARTIN'S CANDIDACY. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt, Tuesday, of a letter, under date, Aug. 15, '30, from Wm. R. Conners, requesting him to attend the meeting held in the Western Reserve Republican club rooms, Wednesday evening, in the interest of Atty. Alex. H. Martin's candidacy for judge of the Common Pleas court. We did not attend the meeting because we are opposed to the Martin candidacy for the following reason: Several months ago Mr. Emmett Meade, E. 130th St., this city, one of our leading and most loyal business men, introduced a resolution in the East End Republican club committing that organization to the ousting of "Color-Line City-Hospital" Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, which Alexander H. Martin opposed and "talked to death," showing such interest in Blossom's candidacy at that time, for reappointment to the office of welfare director, as to amount to disloyalty to at least those of the race in this community. Martin's most reprehensible course in that matter so shocked other loyal members of the race in attendance upon the meeting, and Mr. Meade, as to cause him to withhold another resolution he had, providing for the endorsement of the Martin candidacy. All of our many readers will readily recall the fact, stated so often in these columns since the first of the year, that it was this same man Blossom, who for quite five years denied our boys and girls only the right to train in the City hospital, and is still doing so, contrary to custom, law and about everything else fair and just. For quite five years, Welfare Director Blossom has thus held up our people to ridicule before the eyes of the entire community. Alexander Martin knew and knows this, and still has the temerity to ask our people for their votes to help him be elected a judge of our Common Pleas court! What sort of a judge, if elected, would such a "Negro" make? How far could we trust him in any matter that paralleled "The Blossom-City Hospital Color-Line" matter? Prior to the East End Republic club meeting — Martin — Blossom "episode," The Gazette's editor had promised to support the Martin candidacy, but promptly and publicly withdrew that promise immediately after Martin's opposition to and killing of the Meade anti-Blossom reappointment resolution. By that disloyal act, Martin placed himself squarely alongside "The Blossom Triplets" who, after many weeks' pledging themselves and promising "to do everything in their power to help oust Blossom," wound up by "waiving" their opposition to that individual and thus paving the way for his reappointment which followed. Such disloyalty cannot be glossed over or overlooked! But every one of the guilty individuals must be held strictly to account by the loyal of the race in this community, if we are ever to make anything like the progress we are still struggling so hard for. After next year, we want no Bundys, Paynes or Georges in office to misrepresent us. And Martin has proven himself to be one of that kind. So we do not want him! Those we have cannot be gotten rid of until next year in the fall-time. But it will be done then just so surely as there is a Lord in heaven, Martin, the original chairman of the Blossom-Gregg "jim-crow" hospital committee of two years ago, has no more chance to be elected a common pleas judge in November than Councilman George, Payne or Bundy have to be re-elected to the city council in November of next year. Cut out and paste in your hat the preceding sentence for future reference. It is the TRUTH! Prime Sport News Jones Wins from Jenkins. Denver, Colo.—"Gorilla" Jones, of Akron, O., won a 10-round decision from Ham Jenkins here, last Saturday night. They are welterweights. Chocolate Has Tonsils Out. Chocolate has taken over. Havana, Cuba. — Kid Chocolate, Afro-Cuban featherweight de luxe, underwent an operation, Tuesday, for the removal of his tonsils and is reported resting easily. McGinty's Big One. Tommy Freeman (white) of this city, under the management of Tommy McGinty, will fight his 110th battle for the welterweight title at American League baseball park, this city, Sept. 5, with Champion Jack Thompson of Los Angeles, Cal. Young Jack has never side-stepped or drawn the color-line, but has met them all. Freeman's knock-out of Bucky Lawless and his sensational fights with "Gorilla" Jones, Jackie Fields, former champion, and Joe Dundee make him the logical contender for the crown Jack wears. This is his first major fight since winning it, and it will be a good one, too, rest assured. It is said that when Thompson and Freeman met in Detroit, in January, the latter won seven of the ten rounds. Maybe! Thompson started training, Wednesday, in Jerry Sach's facade, camp where he can look him over. Freeman is at his summum at Erie, but will move here and finish his training at Paul Hamilton's gymnasium, 722 Superior Ave. The American Legion is promoting this bout. The balance of the card for the evening will measure up proportionally to the main feature. "Emperor Jones' " Will. New York City.-Charles Gilpin, the actor, who died in May at Trenton, N. J. left a $2,500 estate to his common-law wife, Alma Zynum, and a son, Paul W. Gilpin of Philadelphia, as well as $25 to a sister, Mrs. Lelia C. Brown. His wife, Mrs. Lilian Woods Gilpin of this city, is contesting the will because she is the only person to estate to go to Gilpin's 67-year old sister who reared him and to whom he willled only $25. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1930 OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mo-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 uphold the consti- tationality of the law and it has been 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 north- ern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: 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 correction power over other persons suffering death without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 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 occurred therefrom, is worse, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood 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 from 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.

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 representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, YOU KNOW Dear Al. I got your letter the ether day and would have written you sooner except for a pain in my chest given me by mother-in-law who is staying with me, and it is not like a pain in the neck because this one comes from a good wallop she handed me. I noticed what you say about how to treat my wife and show her I ain't afraid of her but what are you going to do if there is a big bruiser of a mother hanging around which has sudden death in both her hands and off and bust her, they would probably have me arrested for asking a female, and abd' cry her way out.

Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: IBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. must member of mob must another county. at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence to the part of officials of such county in failing to contact such prisoner or displace 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. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: Date of birth: 1815. Sec. 1294. Whose body, the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, 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, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, or imprisoned thereby to be received in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY!

What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us.

It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. SLUGGER SMITH WAS A NEWLY-FOUND, BALL- PLAYING YOUTH, WHO THE PAPERS ALL SAID WAS ANOTHER BABE RUTH, J. S. HALL'S 8133 Central Ave. The ROUNDER the Blossom Triplets” certainly tied their own hands in grabbing the leadership of their respective wards. To try and secure jobs for their constituents or any one else, is a violation of the city charter. So now, how are they going to carry out their many promises to get employment for those so sadly in need of employment, and for families? And just to think of it! Bundy the self-styled leader of “The Blossom Triplets,” seems to have been double-crossed by Payne and George. These two individuals switched from Day to Harris during the latter part of the campaign and are now members of the Republican executive in conjunction with Miss Janet Anderson, this Fleming while Bundy is “out of luck; out in the cold.” What a combination! Politics “sauah make strange bed-fellows.” The ex-ward leader, Louis Vincour's Samaritan kindness, made it possible for Councilman Bundy to be elected leader of the 17th ward at the County Republican convention, last Saturday, in the ball-room of Public Hall. Atty. Vincour had votes enough to defeat Bundy, it is said. The fight on the 18th ward leader, George Skinkle, resulted in his followers electing Councilman George Skinkle's successor. George was also on Bundy's serve longer in the position, it is said. George's election pleased greatly Mrs. Hazel M. Walker, Mrs. Lousse Pridew, W. T. Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer J. Whiting and Norman McGhee, Bundy's publicity man, who was so badly defeated for prescinct committeeman in ward 17. McGhee recently resigned as an investigator in Judge A. J. Pearson's domestic relations court about two months service. Why? The job was to hear that Missloss Triplet' Bundy as that member of the county Republican executive committee but Jane Hunter and the other two triplets (George and Payne) were. Mrs. Letha C. Fleming was already a member of it. Dwight Williams and Mrs. Hazel Bundy were dropped from the committee. The local Republican organization is to be congratulated, and on leaving Bundy out, too. Housecleaning (political) has started! Mrs. Hazel Mountain Walker, who was dropped from the Republican executive committee—she was succeeded by Jane Hunter—today declared: "Being on the executive committee doesn't mean a thing. All you do is say yes to everything that's said." Both Mrs. Walker and Norman McGhee expressed displeasure at the selection of George as ward leader. Both predicted George wouldn't hold the job for more than his present term. During the past campaign, George did not show up, George did not-Maachee revolt in the colored wards which Bundy led—The Cleveland News, Aug. 18, 30 "Sistah" Walker seemed mighty sore over being dropped from the local County Republican Executive committee. What The News quotes her as saying reminds us of the old expression "sour grapes." She snail was making a face when she said she was not going to be the leader yet she was only getting what she earned, deserved from the local Republican organization which had been good, too good to be for some years. Wonder if Councilman George had anything to do with McGhee's recent loss of the investigator job? "The Rounder" knows that he was sore with Councilman George because of the latter's support and the award leader until Saturday when Skinkle turned the leadership over to George. Councilman George and Payne's belated refusal to be longer blindly led by the erratic "bobblegush" Bundy, when they left the Day candidacy and went to the support of George B. Harris for the Republican nomination for county prosecutor, was then broken up by the same Triplets." George's and Payne's political future is dependent largely upon their maintenance of that independence. At the political meeting held in St. James A. M. E. church, Thursday evening, Aug. 7, Ralph Donaldson, local political writer for The Cleveland Plain Dealer, said Bundy dared Maurice Maschke to try to "dethrone" him in memberial sayings. "I'm him memberially saying," he made the party. We make the bosses. And if we make them we can unmake them. I haven't any fight on with any bosses, and they'd better not make any fight on me." Wonder what Bundy meant when The Truth! WHAT'S DOING! WHILE A CLUMSY RECRUIT THEY CALLED KANGAROO HALL IN THE PRE-SEASON NEWS GOT NO MENTION AT ALL: A For Summer Comfort Use PORO Talcum he used the words "dethrone" and "we"? The people of the third councilmanic district will do the "dethroning," next year in the fall time. And if it is the people he classes himself with, when he uses the word "we," he sure is talking about "dethrone." The "bobblehug" sits only on a "throne" of his own words, has sure been riding to an awful fall almost the day he entered the City Council as a member. There can be no doubt of this now. Then, too, his associating himself with the people, in the use of the word "we," is one huge joke because they are only waiting for next year, in the call of a literal skids under him. Then that threat of the "bosses," which had reference only to the leader of the local Republican organization, was such a weak and ridiculous a bluff that it made all smile. Equally as silly was his discussion of "leadership and threat to unhorse Herman Killin in ward 12, saying that: "Some day a 'Negro' is going to 'call' for them." When he calls, if he ever does, he sure will have to be other than a "Blossom Triplet." Our people of this community have had quite enough of them, particularly the "bobblegush." Bundy. Finkle and Berstein have done and are doing for our town of we, and the three "Negro" councilmen combined. Continuing, Bundy said (at this same meeting): "This matter wouldn't have arisen had we had the kind of leadership from the other group that would have elevated and helped my people. I was talking about the kind of leadership that comes in and leads us only to exploit." What kind of "leadership" in our group is being furnished by "The Blossom Triplets," please? "The kind that comes in and leads us to work on more words, as quoted in the Plain Dealer of Aug. 8, 1930, and everybody knows it. Instead of "elevating" and "helping" our people, just see what they have done to us in recent weeks alone—to say nothing of since the first of the year.

Yes, George and Payne "did agree" to leave the Day candidacy and "go another way," to the Harris candidacy with the local Republican organization which decided overwhelmingly to do that very thing. And they were wise in so doing. It has already netted them membership and committee, at the local County Executive committee, at the local County Republican convention where Bundy was most decidedly "out of luck." At this St. James church meeting State Senator Geo. H. Bender urged our people to "free themselves from the political yoke" which he said "made meant bond for other independent groups in other parts of Cuyahoga county." Well, now, that's just too bad, isn't it? Wonder what influence that, and other like statements from the same source, will have on the senator's candidacy for Congress? Will it help or hurt his Robert Crosser, who is seeking re-election for the third or fourth time? Councilman George also spoke at this meeting, and the "the audience was hostile, George stood his ground and made them like it," and demanded to know "what in the name of God had the fitness of Maurice Maschke, to be the head of the Republican organization, to do the question of whether Day or Harris should be nominated?"

Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit.

W. H. W. A VOGUE which has been flourishing since early spring and which is scheduled to carry over through midseason and into early fall, with even greater emphasis, is that of the separate jacket or short coat which gaily contrasts the dress over which it is worn. Throughout the advance fall showings the theme is being interpreted in versatile ways. Just now jackets in bright red are quite the thing worn over white sports dresses or those of natural colored shantung. The costume in the picture is typical. This outdoor ensemble which tops a white frock with a vivid red jacket is made of a bemberg material especially woven for sports wear. The dress is very simple, to all appearances, but it assists its cut in such style-convincing details as a fitted-at-the-hipline skirt which develops wide box pleating at the hemline, also the square-cut neckline finished with a soft-tied bow on one side. The gown has short sleeves which is really much smarter than sleeveless. FASHION'S MIDSUMMER OF BIG BRIMS TO MIDSUMMER is destined to make its exit midst extremely picturequee scenes so far as fashion is concerned. In its final gesture, the summer mode is staging with a grand flourish the loveliest of lovely big-of-brim lacy and sheer hats, the same topping ravishing flowery or plain filmy frocks. We haven't had anything so flattering for years as these picture hats of openwork straws and other transparencies, and the adorable gay prints with which they are worn. Knowing this, women are loath to give them up until the vary last moment; even though alluring fall fantasies in the way of cunning little velvet berets, likewise those of crocheted chenille are already making a strenuous bid for favor. At the present moment interest centers about huge alry black hats with colorful frocks, although pure white and pastel colorings all have their place in the realm of summer chapeaux. In fact, two interesting trends are observed in the style panorama of the immediate moment—the all-white costume from tip to toe versus the bright Don't Th But Give it Take note of the narrow red suede belt, the red heels on the white kid pumps, the white beret with a fringe made of the same fabric as the dress, and the white washable pull-on gloves, for these are all items which merge into a unit of ultra modishness. Jackets of most every color will enliven the autumn landscape. A sprightly effect is that of the orange-colored coatte worn over the dress of primrose yellow, and then there are those lovely pastel combinations such as a jacket in Patou pink with the frock of hyacinth blue. Bright navy blue with white, the navy coat cut along nautical lines, is ever so popular. Usually the white shoes boast trimming touches which repeat the gay tone of the jacket. Those little palettoes which are creat- ing such a furore this season, being so amusingly quaint and old-fashioned, are awfully smart. For these, velteen is a favorite medium, tuned in coloring to the dress with which it is worn. For instance a brown and yellow print dress calls for a paletto of solid brown velteen; if the paletto be fitted in basilique forms, if the sleeves be nothing more or less than shoulder-cape flaps over the arm, so much the better, for it is the novelty of the tingh which counts.

TRACKLESS TROLLEYS IN USE IN DETROIT SPECIAL 6 406 Trackless trenoy service was inaugurated in Detroit, Mich., recently when the new noiseless, smokeless and electrically operated cars were put in service. The cars have accommodations for 40 passengers, can accelerate to a speed of 35 miles per hour in 30 seconds, and have a leeway of 15 feet each side of the overhead trolley line that supplies the power. They also can pull over to the curb to discharge and take on passengers. SUDDEN STOP IS BAD ON CHASSIS Expert Suggests That Drivers Use Their Brakes With Moderation. How long would your present automobile last if you installed a 350 horsepower engine in the chassis and drove it wide open? There isn't a motorist in the world who would impose such a load on an ordinary chassis, because every driver knows that no standard automobile could withstand the terrific stresses imposed by so powerful an engine. Impose Equal Stresses. Nevertheless, many motorists habitually impose equal stresses on their cars without realizing it, a fact brought out by a Detroit manager of a large automobile concern, in a discussion of brakes and braking. "Few persons realize how much energy must be dissipated to stop a car," he said. "Motor-wise drivers who know that it requires tremendous horsepower to give rapid acceleration never seem to think of braking in similar terms. "With hydraulic four-wheel brakes, a car running at any speed can be brought to a dead stop in one-fifth the time that it takes to attain that speed. A 2,000-pound car, therefore, would require an engine of 350 horsepower to accelerate to 30 miles an hour in the same time that it may be stopped when going at that speed. "Some drivers who would not expect a standard chassis to stand up with a 350 horsepower engine make it a practice to use the brakes to their full power for every stop. That is, they maintain speed to the last possible moment even when they know long in advance that they must come to a standstill, and then bring the car to a sudden halt. Advantage in Making Stop. "It is a great advantage to have the ability to make sudden stops in emergencies, but it is a gross abuse of a car to use this power harshly every time. "Drivers should use their brakes moderately for all service stops. When they see a red light a block a head they should let the car slow down gradually, bringing it to a stand-still finally with gentle brake pressure. "This practice, if followed regularly, not only saves the tires and brake linings, but guards the whole chassis from undue stresses." Check Up Repairs After Car Has Been to a Shop Car Has Been to a Store After the car has been to a repair shop always check over some of the things that have nothing to do with the trouble that occasioned the servicing. This is important where cars are seen to shops that do not specialize in making make. What happens in many cases is that mechanics disconnect things and loosen parts that do not need to be touched. They are not quite familiar with the preliminaries to the real work and are obliged to experiment a little. The things that are disturbed in this way are not likely to be thought of when they come to finish the work. Where the authorized service station does the work it is seldom that anything is disturbed unnecessarily. Any mechanic prefers to check over his work a little but often he is rushed by the impatient owner. Great Britain Clings to "Keep to Left" Great Britain still clings to the "keep to the left" rule of the road, despite the fact that the "right" is generally accepted throughout the world, according to the foreign travel division of the American Automobile association. Aside from Great Britain, other countries which have the left rule are: Alderney, Czechoslovakia, Gold Coast, Guernsey, Hungary, India, Irish Free State, Jersey, Malta, Northern Ireland, Rhodesia and Sweden. THE MOTOR QUIZ (How Many Can You Answer?) Q. What effect on engine performance is produced by improper spacing of spark plug gaps? Ans.

Jay Walking Barred by Authorities of Paris The authorities of Paris have adopted American methods for the protection of pedestrians. Large brass studs have been placed in the pavements to show the pedestrian where he may safely make a dash to the other side of the street, and pedestrians are expected to use this space and no other. The century-old-custom in France of allowing persons to cross the road where and when they will has been abandoned, much to the disgust of 30,000 Parisians, who paid fines for crossing the highways in the old-fashioned way.

OUR FORTY-EIGHTH YEAR! With this issue, "The Old Reliable" Gazette enters upon its forty-eighth year of continuous publication, every week on time. Forty-seven years ago, this paper made its first appearance, with the writer at the helm as part owner, editor and manager. Many years ago, he purchased the interests of the other three members of the company and ever since the burden of and responsibility for the publication of The Gazette has rested upon his shoulders. How successful we have been is a matter of common knowledge the country over, and of personal pride on our part, for The Gazette's accomplishments were and are vitally important, many and varied. They recommend it, too, in the strongest possible manner especially to the loyal of the race wherever they may be. As a direct result of the Works of The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious "Black Laws" of Ohio were wiped out, and an effective Civil Rights law, and Mob Violence action or Anti-Lynching law enacted by the Ohio General Assembly. This paper, as all know, has never failed to do all in its power to help, defend and protect our people, not only of Ohio but of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and "turned back" the "jim-crow Negro" who is a more treacherous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than any other enemy of the race. Indeed, "The Old Reliable" Gazette has stood out in the open all of its forty-seven years of life like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never faltering and always determined. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help, defend and encourage our people along all lines of endeavor that lead to greater and better progress is a matter of general knowledge throughout the country. We refer particularly to its efforts against discrimination, national, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race. Personal and business interests have always been subordinated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's claion call to Afro-Americaners, generally, in season and out, has been to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than that all citizens, without reference to class (race) or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the North, we have been and always will be, unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of surrender," or conciliatory policy, so insidiously preached, in this day and time, by "jim-crow Negroes" and their fool-prejudiced white masters. The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for, ALL that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, thrul all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recommendations for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the forty-seven years — thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf — we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. There is, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers, at this time, and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become subscribers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and in this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation. Editor and Owner.

POLITICS (Special to The Gazette) The lynching of two colored youths of Marion, Indiana, was as barbarous an act as might be read of or seen in heathen countries. It was a part of the daily press the politics had its part in this lynching. Some high official, whose name was not given (the alibi of a coward), stated that citizens were incensed because of "leniency being shown colored accused," and that they were being urged to take prominent part in politics. Any investigation that does not show that the sheriff was a part to this lynching shoot was the signal to the mob to get their men and nothing would be done about it. Any sheriff that refuses to uphold the law and gives way to a mob should be removed and forever disqualified from holding office. The oft-repeated lie that colored men make attacks upon white women has been exploded. The attempt on the part of low-bred white men to murder colored men, and hide behind the skirts of white women, cannot stand in the light of things as known to the public. Two colored youths committed crimes should have been given a fair and impartial trial. Men who would lynch boys are not to be believed or trusted with government. Lynching is the "white" man's subterfuge, to discredit his own ability to govern. The prevention of colored men taking a part in politics is southern Democratic and K. K. policy. Colored citizens have the right to take part in politics, and profit thereby, as much as any other citizens. Any group that denies colored men this right is a set of political brigands. White men that join themselves together, in mobs to take the law into their own hands must die. If white men have lost faith in each other, so much so that the law of the land, then other folks must take the law in hand who will enforce it impartially and justly and make white criminals know that they are not bigger than the law. A most reprehensible thing, done by the authorities of Marion, was the rushing of white policemen, secret detectives and plain clothesmen into the colored district of Marion to keep the colored men unarmed while the white hoodlums were free to arm themselves, go where they pleased and shoot down any Negro they felt like shooting. The authorities showed themselves wickedly blamed. When a mob is abroad, no group of citizens should be prevented from protecting themselves. In almost all of the cases of outlaws between races, the officers of the law were able to kill the Negroes while white men break down jails, run out the judges and jurors, and when they feel like it burn down the court-house. The problem of America is to make the white men who make the law, interpret the law, enforce or charged with enforcing the law, have respect for that which they are responsible. This gathering together of Negroes in Marion for self-protection is but the beginning of an attempt to take the part of negroes to protect themselves from mob violence. That these Negro mobs will give the white mobs as good as they send no one need fear. We dread the thought of this but if this is the method to stop lynching it is no bloodier than the lynching and it will at least center the punishment upon the destroyers of the law. Lynching must go! Negroes are going to participate in politics everywhere they are. Those attackers are going to them and met with firmness and whatever else necessary to maintain the rights of citizens. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. FEWER TELEPHONE CALLS GO ASTRAY FEWER TELEPHONE CALLS GO ASTRAY Operators Carefully Trained Against Errors Instruction of telephone operators in the pronunciation of number digits is largely responsible for the 100 per cent decrease in number of misdirected calls per 1000 calls during the past 10 years, according to officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. Because of the similarity in the sound between some of the ten digits in the group from 0 to 9 inclusive, operators are taught to pronounce each figure in such a way as to minimize the confusion of that figure with other figures, it was said. The figure "4" is pronounced "fo-wer," the figure "5" as "fify" and so on. Records of the telephone company show that wrong numbers are received by telephone subscribers of large cities an average of 23 times in 1000 calls. Of these 13 are attributed to the telephone company, and the remaining ten are calls on which subscribers give numbers they do not want. Since 1920, wrong numbers for which the telephone company is responsible have decreased from 26 to 13 per 1000 calls, the officials stated.
