The General Education board (Rockefeller), during the year ending June 30, 1920, gave for "Negro" education, $1,581,517.39. Eli Hines, age 85, of Rockingham, N. C., has had three wives and has three families. None of his children has ever been arrested for violation of the law. Rab! for Ell! President Charles B. D. King and Vice-President Allen Yancey of Liberia, Africa, have resigned. Their resignations are the result of an expose of labor conditions and a subsequent discussion in the Liberian legislature. Nina Mae McKenny, a star of the talking picture, "Halladujah," who married a Chicago youth a few months ago whose parents seek a divorce for him, sailed for Paris, France, Dec. 5, to star in a new French revue in theaters there. President Hoover has sent to the Senate for confirmation his appointment of Jefferson S. Coage, of Wilmington, Del., to be recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, and that of Charles E. Mitchell of Institute, W. Va., to be minister resident in Liberia, W. Africa. Noble Sissle and his orchestra, which for months have been appearing at a night club in Paris, France, the "Les Ambassadeurs," going to it from London. England, will harden it to be permitted to make the contemplated American tour, so popular are they. "Scarlet Sister Mary," the "Negro" play in which the great actress, Barrymore is starring, less prominent in acting, less prominent part, termed the "Gullah play," written by Julia Peterkin (white) of South Carolina, has been pronounced "crude" and, outside of the acting, unimpressive. The Hon. Edwin J. Barclay, former secretary of state of and one of the ablest men in Liberia, West Africa, has succeeded President C. B. D. King and will fill out the latter's unexpired term. King had served eleven years, and was finishing his third term of four years each which would have expired in 1931. Mme. Stephanie St. Clair, wealthy Harlem (N. Y.) "numbers" queen, testified in the recent New York police shake-up that she had paid $7,100 in regular payments to police officials for protection, of her members mackerel" she failed to receive. The woman was born in France and is a "high-brown" who has acquired a fortune as a "numbers" banker. She wears a mink coat and jewelry that cost a small fortune. Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago has announced the appointment of Benj. O. Davis, Jr., son of Col. B. O. Davis of Cleveland, O., highest ranking Afro-American officer in the U.

City for many years, in Dec. 11 after being hit by a taxicab as he stepped behind in an elevated-line pillar, in Harlem. Hill had been on the stage for forty years, and won popular favor in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" at the Chicago World's fair, many years ago.

HEAR! HEAR!! A "Of the twelve lawyer-members only three now appear habitually against the city in the police court, Lawrence Payne and Herman Kohen are there most often, and Clayborne George occasionally."—Cleveland Daily Press, Dec. 9, '30. Payne and George are two of "The Blossom Triplets," the other one being Councillor Bundy, a dentist by profession. The first two members of the city by provision in the city charter forbidding "councillman-lawyers from representing defendants in police court, from representing clients before city departments and from prosecuting a claim asserted by anyone against the city." If the city charter were so amended as to prohibit the members of the city council from "four-flushing," that would sure include the other "Triplet," Bundy, who is "there with bells on." The following, written by the editor of The Gazette, pleased The Rounder so much. I want the readers of this department of "The Old Reliable Gazette, to enjoy it, too: Cleveland, O., Nov. 21, 1930. Gov. Myers Y. Cooper, Capitol, Columbus, O. Dear Sir:—Supplementing my letter to some days ago relative to the appointment of Ex-Senator John P. Green of Pennsylvania, the wavies on the local Municipal court bench, permit me to urge you not to make the mistake of failing to give my people of this city this representation. They are entitled to it on the score of numerical strength in the party and loyalty to its tickets. The largest votes given you in this city at the recent election were those from the four so-called "colored wards." In ward 11, you received 4291 votes to the 1423 votes given Mr. White. In ward 12, you received 4877; Mr. White only 728. In ward 17, you received 3955 votes, and Mr. White only 1116. In ward 18, you received 4381, and Mr. White only 1573. No other ward in Cleveland's cityity was you a total as high as 4000 votes, and the 17th ward vote only fell five votes below four thousand. The 19th ward which gave you 3898 votes and Mr. White 2927 votes is the only other ward in this city that you carried. About 40% of the vote of this ward is colored. The 18th and 19th wards are the only ones in the city, as I have already said, which gave you a majority vote. Senator McCullough carried only three of these four wards out of the thirty-three wards in the city. The fourth one, the eighteenth ward, he lost by less than 200 votes. So you can see how loyal my people of this city were to both you and the Senator. Had the white voters of the city have made another and very much better showing than it did in its support of your and the Senator's candidacies. Therefore, I sincerely trust that you will not fail to give my people the encouragement they are surely entitled to in the shape of one of our local court judgments to be filled by appeal that no representation on either the local Common Pleas court bench or the local Municipal court bench. Harry C. Smith. Christine Smith, who left Cleveland a year ago to live with an aunt in Atlantic City, N. J. spent Thanksgiving week with her father, Joseph Smith, and sisters, Naomi, Dorothy, Winifred, and Gladys Kenney. She and Winifred were very popular in athletics at Central high and the Central bathhouse. Among the so-called functionaries, she were quite upbeat party at the residence of Mrs. Julia Stanley, E. 84th St., which was a perfect success. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS RUSSIA'S CAMPAIGN TO DESTROY AN ATTEMPT TO BRIDGE THE CHASM BETWEEN CAPITALISM AND SOCIALISM, SAYS FRANK R. CROSSWAITH. The Church Should Be a Rallying Point to Attack and Destroy Social and Economic Injustice—Its Tremendous Influence in the Life of the Afro-American. The present campaign in Russia against the church is additional proof that there is neither tacor nor restraint in Communist's attempt to bridge the chasm between capitalism and socialism. History shows that the church has been, and still is, used by the dominant classes to Russia especially the economic interest. In Russia especially the church stores for all the evils of czarism, even as the church generally stood with the slave regime here in the United States. Like all other human institutions the church grew out of the experiences, hopes and fears of man. Because of the very nature and origin of the church, it was bound, in time, to be utilized by the class in power for perpetuating the church. Not only does when Communists decide to prosec the church and impose their brand of religion as superior, they deliberately destroy religious freedom or liberty. Instead of tryannizing and destroying the church as the Communists have set out to do, we Socialists believe it far more desirable and reasonable to change the function of the church to mobilize or rallying point from which to attack and destroy social and economic injustice, to preach against low living standards and to mobilize all moral and material power in the interest of upward change. We believe that such a course would be less irritating to those of our fellows in whose life the church holds an important role in constructing and enduring. The problem of the church is one involving the difference between form and function. We therefore would change its function confident that in time the form would be forced to change in order to harmonize with the newer functions. I am not a religionist in the orthodox sense of the word but rather one whose religion is the church and who constructs the stern realities of life, whose one mission is to attack and destroy all social and economic evils as a prerequisite to the establishment of a solid foundation upon which to build a higher spiritual and cultural life. I believe implicitly in my religion as the noblest that any man can profess and practice. This belief, however, does not give me a religious belief in the religion of the church of my brother, especially since destruction is not a necessary step toward the achievement of my religious aims. In the life of the Afro-American, the church wields a tremendous influence and is directly responsible for his obvious conservatism and contentment—a condition greatly to be deplored; and I am confident that the religious effort to destroy the church for the fault is not in the church per se but rather in the way the church is made to function. Communists believe that violence is the only method by which the transition from capitalism to socialism can be effected. They scoff at the idea of a gradual and peaceful change through the mediums of education and political democracy. Warrior NGOs have been known to course as the only way out of his present Gethsemene would be for him to invite extermination at the hand of a more or less hostile majority. The Negro as a minority group too long has been the victim of force—violence — so dares not trust his fate to these so-called Communists who pretend to have out-grown race-puppy of a lead-grown race-which they do member race. This fact has demonstrated to proof, last spring, in a certain Virginia city where the Communists organized a mass meeting. An educated Negro, then a member of the Communist party, worked day and night to insure the success of that meeting, only to find that he was not properly charged with the protest to his white comrades against such "jim-crow" practice, and was promptly charged with "putting race before class." He was unceremoniously expelled from the party. Freedom of expression and assemblage are invaluable human rights that should brook no interruption. The Negro is one of the cardinal principles upon which the Socialist party stands. We believe that progress Believe in Violence. 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 NEWSIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. THE COPY FIVE CENTS UNISM PAIGN TO DESTROY BIGGE THE CHASM BETWEEN AND SOCIALISM, SAYS CROSSWAITH. Rallying Point to Attack and Economic Injustice—Its Influence in the Life of of an enduring sort can be made only in free movement and discussion. Whether in Russia or America, wherever human rights are questioned, there Socialists will be found leading in the fight for such rights. Communists, on the other hand give lip service to freedom of speech and assemblage, but actually deny it to others when and wher- C.P.E. - 101 ever they have the power to do so. The Negro has a story to tell to the world. He has a great and just cause to plead at the bar of public opinion. For him then to join with those who would destroy freedom of speech and assemblage would be to cut himself from the only avenue through which to present his case and arouse the conscience of the civilized section of mankind in his behalf. ROSENWALD'S SEGREGATION! Madison, N. J., 12-11-'30. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor "Gazette", Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: "The Amsterdam News, the current issue (page 2) "Harlem Demons Anent Rosenwald's survey" is the clear position on the Rosenwald plan of beneficence. I have always condemned it; for secretly he has been building up a system of racial segregation, nation wide, under the cover of public philanthropy, i. e., county schools for Negroes, and colored $75,000 Y. M. C. A. s., etc. I have long noted that the nation established there is no race, nation, nor religious unity in that community!! They operate to accentuate and perpetuate Booker T. Washington's policy of segregation, "as separate as the fingers of the hand." Which spirit I find is fostered everywhere by method, in the white American church, though opposed by the Christ in John 13:3 (4), last sentence. Yours, etc. (Rev.) Geo. Wilson Brent. A PERTINENT QUESTION. After reading your editorial "Is It Retribution?" this thought occurred to me: Since the bible says that the sins of the father shall be charged up to his sons, grandons, etc., and also that "as ye do to the least of mine, so shall it be done to you," wouldn't it be wise, if President Hoover cares anything for his son's health, for him to get the best care for him, this by remembering the above quotations and treating the "Negro" as fairly as he treats other American citizens. The National Social Review, published at 12 E. 53d St., Chicago, Mr. Henry Smith, editor, has just made its appearance and is exactly what its name indicates. The initial number makes a very creditable appearance and should be a success. Surely will be if "Hoover Prosperity" ever arrives and does not disappoint like the promised "Coolidge Good Times."

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1930. A MERRY CHRISTMAS, TO ALL! White Christians in the Cathedral of St. John, the Divine, yelled "lynch him," according to daily newspapers, when Judge Ben Lindsay of Colorado attempted to defend himself, recently, in the church. There is no part of the bible that justifies such an exhibition or demonstration by "Christians," or others, in a church during services. We wonder if this is a fair sample of "white Christianity" in America? The church was no place for the bishop to make his vicious attack on the judge, and there is nothing that will fully excuse the judge for disturbing the services even if the attack was made. Both of these exceptionally able and prominent individuals were wrong. ANENT THE CITY CHARTER! The Cleveland Bar Association's proposal that the city charter be amended to forbid councilman-lawyers from representing defendants in police court, from representing clients before city departments, and from prosecuting claims against the city is unquestionably a good one, not only for the public in general, but also as a matter of fairness to all attorneys of the community who are not members of city council. Councilman-lawyers have this advantage, and it is unquestionably against the interests of their constituents. Therefore, the Cleveland Bar Association, local newspapers and everyone else who is doing so are justified in urging that the city charter be so amended. The Gazette is in hearty sympathy with those who are advocating such an amendment. Councilman-lawyers who do not want such a provision, incorporated in the city charter, do not have to remain members of that more or less august body. A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY! Congressman Oscar DePriest has been singularly successful in his talks outside of the Congress. We hope he will be as fortunate in his talks in the next Congress where his vote is to be far more important because of the small Republican majority. There is need, too, great need as a matter of fact, of the right kind of talk in behalf of our people in that august body, not only for the benefit of its members but also for the benefit of all the people of the country. They cannot be reached as well in any other way and our people are in great need of just such helpful assistance. It is a great opportunity for the right kind of a federal representative and we believe Oscar DePriest, in the light of his two years' experience as a national legislator, will be able to "measure up" to the expectations of his hosts of friends of both races or groups. It is really a wonderful opportunity for our only Congressman. "GETTING UNDER COVER." Our two banks in Richmond, Va., the Consolidated and the Commercial Bank and Trust Companies, are consolidating. The Second Street Savings Bank recently merged with St. Luke Bank and Trust Co. giving birth to the Consolidated Bank and Trust Co. There will be one bank now instead of several, and that's a plenty. Our bankers of the "Old Dominion" capital are wise and are to be congratulated. Banks of the other group (white), throut the country particularly in the North, have for many months been merging and consolidating, most often to avoid failure during the economic depression. They have been establishing a very important and valuable precedent which Afro-American financial institutions, especially those in distress, should follow as those in Richmond, Va. have done. If the Credential Bond and Mortgage Co., of Cleveland, had not been wrecked, having its assets illegally decreased from $60,000 to $10,000 by two or more of its officials, what a help a merger with the Empire Savings & Loan Co. of Cleveland would have been to both organizations. This would have saved the former and materially helped the latter and saved our people of this community from an experience that will have a most baneful effect for years to come and retard, in a greater or less degree, the progress of our few remaining financial institutions and companies in this city. What a pity it is that we have so many persons who will not permit even our successful business enterprises to live but insist upon wrecking them in order to cater to their dishonest selfishness? MORTON RIGHT. Backed by Ferdinand Q. Morton, our civil service commissioner of New York City, the Manhattan Medical society has turned down a proposal of the Rosenwald Fund for a "jim-crow" survey and hospital in that city, which had been asked for by a group of non-society members from "down home." The society deliberated for five hours, until past midnight. Dr. Michael Davis and Dr. D. L. Harris of the Rosenwald fund attended. Mr. Morton wrote the society as follows: "The Negro does not need philanthropy, all he asks is a square deal at the hands of the state and he will be able to take care of himself. It is not bounty that we want, but simple justice. Certainly in this state, the Negro needs Mr. Rosenwald. In communities such as ours, where the Negro enjoys in full measure his civil and political rights and equality of opportunity at the hands of the state, he is well able to take care of the Negro and sense a 'problem' and does not need to be 'surveved' or 'analyzed." How refreshing and encouraging! Ferdirand Q. Morton represents perfectly the advanced thought and feeling of the intelligent and progressive of our people, particularly here in the North. What a pity Chicago, and other cities in this section of the country that have accepted the Rosenwald "jim-crow Y" gift of thousands of dollars, had no Ferdinand Q. Morton so advantageously placed, and how pleased The Gazette is to say that it has led the fight here, for years, that has enabled Cleveland to escape just such a harmful segregation experience as New York City has just escaped, thanks principally to Mr. Morton. WILL RULE ON CASE, NOT LAW In a recent issue of The Cleveland Daily News the statement was made that the Ohio "mob" law, which holds the county liable to the extent of $5000 for injuries at the hands of members of mobs, "will be ruled on by the Ohio Supreme Court in the suit of Christ Lexa (white) against the county commissioners." The fact is that the Christ Lexa case will be ruled on and not the Ohio "mob" law. The latter was adjudged constitutional and good law more than thirty years ago and has been upheld in every case since. The Ohio Supreme court will rule on the Lexa case and not on the "mob" law, Ohio's Mob Violence Act or Anti-lynching law, which the writer introduced and secured the enactment of in 1896 when a member of the Ohio Legislature from this county. The court of appeals has set aside a $750 judgment in the Christ Lexa case, secured in the Common Pleas court. Approximately thirty suits will be affected by the ruling on the Lexa case, dispatches from Columbus announced, recently. Therefore, the Supreme Court's ruling on the Lexa case (and not on the Ohio "mob" law) will concern the thirty pending suits as well as the Lexa case. Attention! Readers!

Of wrong and outrage, with the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of skin. Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1930.

American News Features, Inc. 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 Section 6279. (the v. 161 3.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury." for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as per manently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor.

(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, or the child or children surviving such decedent, 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.

An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy 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 a person appointed by the court, then 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 person composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: UBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob just another county. MOBS. such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6282. 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 dispurse such mob. (93 v. 12.14.) 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: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public concessioner, other place or public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or services, beified not less than fifty dollars 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 to the per person aggrieved therein, served 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. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after 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. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights they are by nature without subjective and have no rights." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

UNIT No. 34 Prime Sport News Chocolate Robbed for Third Time. New York City.—That the "Keed" was deliberately robbed of a decision for the third time in the last four or five months is the consensus of opinion of all fair-minded and unprejudiced persons who saw the battle, last Friday night, in Madison Square Garden, this city, with the pseudo-champion, Battling Battalino of Hartford, Conn. Chocolate clearer than the Battalino five and one was even, according to the leading critics at the ringing. The "Kid" hit "Bat" with everything but the water-bucket, leaving him with a battered nose, a bum knee, one eye tightly closed and one arm bent, with the Afro-Cuban, who has really never lost a fight, stood in his corner and cried, as a result of the contemptible JOHN ROYAL IS ONE WHO SAYS THE "KEED" WON John F. Royal, general manager of radio station WTAM and one of Cleveland's most rabid fight fans, was so disgusted with the decision in the Kid Chocolate-Bat Battalino featherweight championship fight in New York, last week Friday night, that he took it upon himself to wire his version to The Cleveland Daily News. Here is the telegram Mr. Royal wrote after watching the pair step through their 15-round contest: "Decision against chocolate was the best years. Battalino was the most surprised man in Madison Square Garden. People could hardly believe their ears. The Cuban hit the champion with everything but Graham McNamee's microphone. Battalino was willing and fought hard but was outclassed." decision. His manager, Louis Gutterrez, also a Cuban, shook his head sadly and led the little fighter out of his corner and down the steps. That they were both greatly disappointed goes without saying. "Kid" Chocolate had, for the third time in recent months, been robbed of a well-earned decision. The contest was annual boxing show for the benefit of the N. Y. Xmas and Relief Fund. Paid attendance, 15,499 persons. The gross receipts were $70,074; the net, $66,480 of which Battalino received 35 percent and Chocolate 15 percent. In the very first round Chocolate floored Battalino for a count of nine with a right uppercut. He timed a rush by Battalino perfectly and nailed him on his Adams apple. This was the only knock-down of the fight. Battalino weighed 1241 pounds and Chocolate 125. RDAY, DECEMBER 20TH Day, 24th, Until 9 P. M.

Jackson, many years a resident of Cleveland, and at one time, many years ago, one of the four publishers of The Gazette, is located at 2727 Welton St., Denver, Colo. For many years, Mr. Jackson wrote governors of Colorado. During this period, he founded the town of Dearfield, that state, which is now in the midst of a boom because of oil activities in and around the place. The nearest towns to Dearfield are fifteen miles on the east and twenty-two miles on the west. The road to Sterling, Colorado, was from it, is mostly paved and there is now one gushing oil and gas well, near the town, while many others in close vicinity are being drilled. Lots and tracts in the town are about to be placed on sale for a limited period with a view to the promotion of the building of homes in Dearfield, the demand for which has been greatly increased because there is an immediate vicinity, so Mr. Jackson writes the editor of The Gazette.
