The more we consider the claims of those who held to the theory of a "pure race" the more we are inclined to look with more or less deepy upon the type of mind which can subscribe to a faith so groundless, and once more so readily to utter destruction by the sheer weight of elementary logic. In order to justify slavery and all the other evils that have since flowed from it, such as segregation, peonage, lynching, political and economic discrimination, it became incumbent upon the slave holders and their intellectual lackeys to build around their vile and unsocial deeds a wall of hallowed justification. Frank R. Crosswaith. With reckless abandon and childish disregard of facts they proceeded to their chosen tasks. At first, they credited to God the authorship of slavery. Next, they enlisted in the cause of "God and slavery" a veritable army of ecclesiastical shocktroops. The devil and the abolitionists were linked together as allies against "God and slavery." So-called women with tantalized zeal joined in the crusade against the heathens. With the word of God on their lips and in their hands the Bible and the sword of slavery, this ungody host sallied forth in defense of an alleged Christian cause. They lynched, imprisoned and hounded the heathens. Lovejoy was lynched in Alton. Ill Thaddeus Stevens was struck down in the United States John John Harper Perry, Garrison and Douglas were hounded from pillar to post and opprobrium heaped upon their gallant heads. Upon the tortured and crucified bodies of its opponents the cause of "God and slavery" triumphantly marched on leaving in its wake the bleached bones of the noble hearted, courageous and civilized minority. But in due season the unwaning force of economic development came to the rescue of the Abolitionists (whether well or not thrown). (Evidently economic forces are quite often the mightiest of all forces.) The undaunted Christmas however did not forsake their cause, even in defeat. No time was lost in reorganizing their shattered army of Christian crusaders. Immediately an avalanche of propaganda calculated to rescue white supremacy and slavery from the disgrace into which it had fallen was turned loose upon the people. The service of the "lost cause" began to "discover" in the blood of Negroes and of white persons a fundamental difference, until they had at last succeeded in establishing a "cult" whose cardinal tenet is that "one drop of Negro blood in the veins of a white person makes that person a Negro." In spite of the learned testimony of such eminent scientists as Professors Boas, Goldenweiser, Robinson and others to the contrary, the people hold fast to their new found religion of "one drop of Negro blood." They are unable to discern the weakness of their claim, by the way gives strength to the counter claim of those Negroes who also advocate race purity. These Negroes argue that if there exists any important difference which can be discovered in the blood of persons of different races, and that if "one drop of Negro blood" has the power to turn a white man into Negroes, that that white man into the superiority of the white blood and the white race but superiority of the blood of Negroes and therefore Negro superiority. Happily for the world the advocates of a "pure race" theory number but a few deluded fanatics of both races. However, it must be said for them that they are vooferless usus, possess without hawking their spurious wares. The wide-spread race prejudices which exist in the United States afford to them a most fertile field in which to work. The marriage of a Negro and a white person is always a signal for these "pure race theorists" to become active and endeavor to paddle their faith. At the end we would have two groups converting legions; but it is unbelievable that a "cult" so obliviously SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS DIXIE'S "LOVE FOR THE NEGRO" SCORED BY OUR CONGRESSMAN WHO RIDICULES SOUTHERN STATESMEN'S "MAMMY" TALK. Howard University's $1,560,000 Appropriation Was Under Discussion—Southern "Cracker" Congressmen Dumped—Congressman Frank Murphy a Credit to Ohio, Etc. Washington, D. C.—Hon. Oscar DePriest, making his second speech, Dec. 12, in Congress in two years, very cleverly twisted Congressmen from "Dixie" who boast of "Negro mammies" and then seek to deny mammy's sons and be equal with them. The House had bid it the Interior Department appropriation bill which carried $1,160,000 for Howard University, to which Committee Chairman Cramton had added $400,000 more as a first appropriation towards an $800,000 library. The entire sum of $1,560,000 was paid. Clifton Woodrum (Dem. Va.) objected to the additional $400,000, declaring that the government faces a deficit, and the money should go towards relieving unemployment. He recalled that an increase in pay had been denied government employees. He also declared the bill, if needed, to be furnished the government to give Howard University $3,000,000 by 1935. Murphy of Ohio Joins In. Frank Murphy (Rep.) immediately joined in the debate, declaring Congress gave Indians, Eskimos and a lot of other underprivileged children 123 (600) congressional committee visited the University recently, Mr. Murphy said they found the present library so small that students, books in hand, were seen standing around the walls studying. "They are cramped and have not room enough." Joseph Byrns (Dem., Tenn.) opposing the library appropriation, denied he was motivated by race prejudice. He was also a race discrimination in education and if the government appropriates funds to Howard, it should also give to Fisk University, Nashville. DePriest Given Two Minutes. Oscar DePriest, given two minutes to speak, said he he appreciated "the great love" of southern Congressmen for his people, but could appreciate this failure to give them an opportunity to become citizen citizens. Referring to the "close contact" southern Congressmen had with "Negroes," Mr. DePriest said: "I have heard some of them say that they had suckled at the breasts of 'black mammals.' I suppose that is true and that they were nourished and grew fat on it. I am satisfied that if they will think a second time, they will vote as I expect to vote—for this appropriation." transparent, so palpably naive and weak can now succeed in converting any appreciably large number of intelligent people. As we said recently, black and white can refuse to mate and marry in spite of the laws that may enact to keep them apart, for the higher law of love and sex satisfaction is more powerful than man made laws or any "blood theory." GARRISON CENTENARY To Be Celebrated By the Poindexter Brotherhood and Other Resi- dents of the State Capital. Columbus, O.—The Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, Cleveland, will address a mass meeting, sponsored by the Poindexter Brotherhood of the Second Baptist Church, this day, on the contrary of the great librator, William Lloyd Garrison, publisher, next week Thursday evening, New Year's day. Rev. Elbert W. Moore, well and most favorably known throughout the state, is pastor of the church which was presided over for many years, years ago, by the "silver- haired orator," the Rev. James W. Poindexter, deceased. Dr. Moore and Judge E. V. Mahaffey were the honor guests at the Spring St. "Y" Church of Son," about the Doc. J. the former discussing "Mutual Responsibilities" and the latter "Father & Son, a partnership." These talks were the features of the social function. Alice Fined Twice.

Louis Cramton (Rep., Mich.) appropriation committee chairman, said: "If it were not something for the colored race, there would not be OSCAR OE PRIEST such an attack made upon this item.” Adolp J. Sabath (Dem., Chicago) obtained leave to extend his remarks in the Congressional Record. The House also passed the bill carrying a total of $387,000 for Pete's Hospital. Mr. Blairman (Dem., Texas) showed some real constance and spoke in favor of the whole Howard University appropriation. Mr. DePriest condemns Communism and says: “Our people cannot afford to follow any movement that has for its aim the establishment of a different form of government,” he said. “I have one aspiration, and it is not for more political honors. It has the chance to leave the office with the confidence and respect of the twelve million Afro-Americans. I intend to fight for the right as long as I am representing you. If losing friends is the result, I will have to lose them.” wife of Leonard "Kip" Rhinelander, has paid fines for violating the traffic laws. Six weeks ago, she was fined $25 in Bronx traffic court for speeding along Webster Ave. Last week, she drove her car through the red lights and was fined $5, which was $100 in Atty. Wm. Specht of New Rochelle, who appeared before Magratleate Flood in Mrs. Rhinelander's behalf. FILIPINOS KILL Americans' Color-Line Promptly— A Senator 'Lays Down' the Constitution. Manila, P. I.—After 350 years Manila enacted its first antiractial discrimination ordinance, recently. Three hundred years of Spanish rule, despite the atrocities the Spaniards practiced on the natives, none discriminated against because of their color. This didn't begin until America acquired the islands 31 years ago. But not, until week before last, did this serpent of human discord show its ugly head to such an extent that the city was forced to pass measures to crush it. The climax was reached recently when Representative Briones, majority floor leader of the house, was deceived by a montage on a color to a fashionable apartment on the Dewey Sea Shore Blvd. American owners of such apartments, responsible for this, were denounced on the floor of both the house and the senate. Senator Clarin declared "that the white people could carry on such practices in China and in their own country, but would never be permitted to do so in the Philippines." --- 7 WU YIVys the GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES (in Advance) Dek Meare co is oso nc $ROW Bix Months ................ 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postofice money order or registered letter.

Strike back when you are Sa so unfairly. eee We are looking for Gov. Myers Y. Cooper to appoint Ex-State Senator John P. Green to the local Munici- pal court bench as a Christmas gift to our people of Cleveland particu- larly. It will be decidedly the best thing he has ever done for the Afro-Americans of the state of Ohio, and something they are not likely to forget. The Gazetto has urged this appointment because Senator Green is the ablest and best of the candidates of color for the appoint- ment. Pe While our people of Kentucky were singing “You May Have all this World but Give me Jesus,” the legislature of that state passed an inheritance tax law, about a year ago, which nets the state about fif- teen million dollars annually, the entire amount of which is appor- tioned among five Kentucky insti- tutions (white) of learning. Our people of that state who constitute ‘twelve percent of its population do not get a dollar of this large amount of money for their institutions in spite of the fact that many thou- sands of dollars of their money are included in it. ‘They have finally awakened to the fact and feeling keenly the injustice have at last started a movement to get their share of the money. | Acebrding to Dr. Joe T.

Moton (chairman) of Tuskegee Ala. N. & L Institute and the other members of the Commission, all Afro-Ameri- cans eave one. The Commission found between three and four hun- dred thousand Haitian children out ‘of school, no high-schools except in Stiles, teachers’ salaries of five to twenty-five dollars a month, no mil- itary school and practically no nor- mal schols for teachers or schools for the training of pastors and priests. It calls attention to the fact that America made a great mis. take in going to Haiti and setting up a separate educational system not subject to the department of education of that country; also that the American-made system of edu- cation established there is over- staffed, extravagant, incompetent in some cases because of the inability of some American teachers to speak French, and its retusal to place com- petent Haitians in high places which required the exercise of re- sponsibility and the initiative. The Commssion’s sixty-one recom: mendations designed to give Haiti an adequate school system include the immediate placing of the Amer- fean-made educational system under the control of the Haitian depart- ment of education, the increase of salaries and appropriations for American teachers now in Haiti, and a further subsidy to help that coun- try carry out a long term educa- tional program to a successful com- pletion under a new joint Haiti Afro-American Commission. ‘The Forbes Commission, which preceded the Moton Commission, corrected in a large degree this country’s political mistakes in Hal- ti. The Moton Commission makes clear what this country should do to correct its educational errors in that country and puts the matter square. ly up to the Hoover administration. WELL WORTH REMEMBERING. President Hoover's recent state- ment of his position on law enforce ment is clearly and unmistakabl; given in the following: “Each state has ample laws of its own and the responsibility fo enforcement is on each. “Any suggestion of increasing Federal criminal laws in general { a reflection on the sovereignty and the stamina of state government,’ the President said. The foregoing discloses the fact that the President is opposed to a federal or national anti-lynching law and explains why he refused recently, to even consider the ap- peal made to him by our delegation of the National Equal Rights League and Anti-Lynching Congres: that called upon him at the White House. The appeal asked that he abide the anti-lynching-plank in the Republican platform which recom- mended anti-lynching _ legislation. Couple with this, the President's re fusal to give us proper recognition in the way of federal appointments his refusal to be photographed with “colored” individuals and delega- tions that called upon him at the White House, and his several other eolor-lines, and no one can be in doubt as to the President’s attitude toward our people. This is impor- tant in view of the fact that he in- tends to stand as a candidate for re-election in 1932. It also makes perfectly clear the fact that Mr, Hoover is not presidential size men- ae HOW MUCH DID IT GET? The N. A. A. C. P.'s acting see- retary, Walter White, reported tc the U. S. Senate’s committee on Sen- atorial campaign expenditures that his organization spent $1209.04 in the last campaign in an effort to help defeat U. S. Senators who voted to seat Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina on the U. 8. Su- preme Court bench. What our peo- ple here are most interested in knowing is how much money the N. A. A. C. P. received from Robert J. Bulkley (Dem.) whom Mr. White visited in this city, early in the cam- palgn, for the purpose stated? That information would be far more in- teresting than the knowledge of the alleged amount spent. He might also tell our people what the sal- aries of the officers of the N. A. A. ©. P. are. Many members of the organization, as well as others (friends), would like to know. As a matter of fact, they have a right to know. lll. FINKLE AND BERNSTELN. As we go to press, Councilman Herman H. Finkle of the third dis- trict, and Atty. Alex. Bernstein, Re- publican leader of the 12th ward, are playing Santa Claus—busily en- gaged issuing three thousand five hundred baskets of food supplies, nearly all of which are being given ‘to the poor and needy of our race resident in the 12th ward and the rest of the third councilmanic dis- trict. The distribution is being made from the Case- Woodland school grounds in Woodland Ave., cor. E. 40th St. (this, Wednesday morning). This is an annual event ‘of the donors and is one of many reasons why they are 50 highly es- ‘teemed by about all of our people in the community. Hundreds of ‘cards were issued to pastors of our churches in the 12th ward, to other organizations in that section of the city and to responsible members o: the race for distribution, each card ‘ealling for “one basket of food.” This is not all, by any means, these gentlemen do for our people a: many of the sick and needy, all year, and others can and will affirm Councilman Finkle and our loug- time friend, Atty. Bernstein, we sa lute and thank you for all’ of our people of this community, for the wonderful work you are doing. ‘More Power to you!

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW eS eee oe ee of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C, Smith's Ohio Civit Rights law which the edt- tor had enacved while a member of the 7ist General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12240. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eat- ing Bouse, barber-shop, public con- veyance by land or water, theater oz other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to ail citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations? advantages, facili- ‘es or privileges thereof, shall be axed not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not tess than thirty days aor more than ninety days, of both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than Atty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the per- on aggrieved thereby to be recov ered in any court of competent jur. isdiction in the county where sucb offense was committed. ‘This law nas repeatediy 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 mem- bers of which are in favor of submitting to diserimination om the claim that their race “always will be discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- tion, 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 cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no “guts’.” The world respects only those who resent and re- sist 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 Uberty, and forever resist de- nial of rights in our native land, however long race dis- crimination may continue, To submit is to deserve con- tempt.—Boston (Mass.)

The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt, this week, of very pretty Christmas and New Year's greetings (souvenir postcards) from the following: Mr. and Mrs. Paul Apple of Ramona Ave. City; Hon. John T. Tracy, state treasurer, Columbus; R. H. Rutherford, president-treasurer of the National Benefit Life Insurance Co., Washington, D. C., who also sent a very prettily bound notebook; the Hon.

Calif.; the Friendly Inn, Calif. Howard Fields of Omaha, Neb., a native Clevelander; Mrs. Margaret E. Warren and niece, Lorene, of Detroit; Walten Banks and Dr. Homer G. Cox, this city, and Mr. and Mrs. Richard D. Lynch, Youngstown. 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 city council members, 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 who are advocating 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. 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 we have had a most effective offer for years to continue, 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? 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 held in every case since. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled 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 Tatra-Car was originally made for the use of the German army officers in crossing shell-torn ground. It has four driving wheels that are designed to contact at all times with the most irregular contours and is a six-wheeled vehicle. The 12 gear shifts offer a wide range of power. The maximum speed of the motor, which is of 12 horse power (European), is 65 kilometers per hour. A horizontal four-cylinder, double-air, air-cooled engine powers the car. It is built on a nine-inch tube which carries the propeller shaft. In line are the transmission and two differentials, one differential for each set of driving wheels. Each driving wheel has its own individual axle, connected to the differential by a universal joint. Two gear shift levers allow selection of the three different ratios of the differentials. In the photograph the car is seen climbing a rough bit of terrain near Detroit. SKIDDING SEASON IS NOW WITH US SKIDDING SEASON IS NOW WITH US Best Device Invented to Prevent Accidents Is Nonskid Chains. This is the time of year when highways and pavements often seem to be greased, so that it is extremely easy for the motorist to slip readily into oblivion or worse. In other words, it is the skidding season. These are the months when the managers of accident insurance companies get gray hairs and pray for the motoring public to be careful. Now is a time for operators of cars to use their best judgment, for skidding is a serious matter. Any Tire Will Skid. In recent years the balloon type of tire has come into quite common use. This has been in the main a factor which has tended to lessen the number of accidents by skidding. The greater width of the balloon tire gives a greater space in contact with the road, which is all to the good when it comes to keeping the car under control. On the other hand, the very assurance that drivers have come to have in their balloon tires as to the prevention of skidding has often led them to take unwarranted risks. They have developed the impression that because the car has balloon tires it would not be likely to skid under any circumstances. As a matter of fact, there is no tire made which will not skid under certain conditions on smooth, wet pavements. Care must therefore be given in driving cars which have even the extreme width in the balloon tire. Furthermore, there is considerable difference between a new tire of any given width and the same tire after it has been driven a few thousand miles. As the tread wears off, due to use, the surface becomes increasingly smooth, and the likelihood of skidding is therefore increased accordingly. The driver must watch this normal process and understand that the same type of driving when the tires are new will not get the same results as when they are a few months older. Nonskid Chain Helps. Probably the best device yet produced to enable the motorist to avoid accidents through skidding is the non-skid chain. It is somewhat of a nuisance to put chains on the rear wheels of any automobile, especially since the need for them is likely to come while en route and while it is either raining or snowing. Several cases are known where motorists have been driving along on dry pavements with out chains in perfect safety, but when a freezing rain began to fall the drive figurated to go on just a little farther before stopping to put on chains. Such decision usually results in accidents. Sleet and Snow Quick In winter tires are subjected to more abuse than at any other time of the year, when they will wear down faster and deteriorate more rapidly. While the motorist can do little beyond driving carefully to check the rapd wear during the season of snow and sleet, by exercising a greater vigilance he can keep the deteriorations down to a minimum. Small tread cuts in the tire should receive more prompt attention in winter than at any other time. Water from snow and ice will seep through minute holes in the rubber and wet the fabric. This causes the fabric to decay rapidly. Sleet and ice covered roads will cut the tread and side walls quickly. One of the chief dangers outside the cities comes from frozen, rutty roads. On a comparatively warm day the crust of the earth will melt. Cars passing will wear shallow ruts, and at night, when the roadways freeze again, a rut is frozen hard for the next tire that passes. These ruts will wear away the slide-wall rubber. Modern Traffic Is Trial of Temper No one who loses his temper or becomes irritable in traffic can justify his claim to being a good driver. There is little doubt that modern traffic is peculiarly designed to test the temper of every individual in it. It is congested. It often is slower than seems tolerable. It is unstable in that while certain forms of conduct and action are specified for it there are constant departures from them. It requires mental effort when one is not disposed toward great mental effort. Broadly, it would seem that the driver who loses his temper has no more chance of developing real skill in operating his car than the pugilist who loses his temper and fouls his opponent has of winning a championship.

If your friend to whom you wish to give something very choice—something you have made, stitch by stitch—"goes stepping" in society, if she dines and dances, attends parties, grand opera and such, she will love to unfold from its dainty tissue wrappings on Christmas morning, an adorable hand-crocheted silk-tinsel evening beret, such as is shown in this picture. You can buy the skeins of silky-tinsel (two dozen will be ample, and they are not expensive) at most any fancywork department. Not another item of material is required except three fourths of a yard of gold metal ribbon, which forms the fitted band about the head as you see in the picture. Anyone who crochets will know at a glance how to form the star pattern at the top of the crown, and if in doubt there is always an instructor present in the better fancywork sec- WHITE FELT HAT THE BLACK IS LATE NO MATTER how many new hats in your winter wardrobe, you will be wanting to add to your collection at least one of the sprightly white felts trimmed with a touch of black. Latest whim of fashion, these little white felts with their perky wee bows of black fur or black ribbon, or a dashing little black feather. It is not that the white felt hat itself is so unusual but the fact of wearing it in late fall or midwinter gives it a new accent. With the smart daytime black crepe frock trimmed with white, fashion says to wear a white felt hat and be modern. The white felt hat worn with a neckpiece and muff of flat white fur, no need to tell of its chic and its charm. Such an ensemble speaks for itself. Of course a swatch of the white fur must appear on the white felt hat. For that matter the hat itself may be made all of thin fur, for hat, scarf and muff sets of white fur are ever so "classy." There should be a note of black somewhere, however, perhaps a black velvet bow here and there or black fabric-like fur made up with white fur. The theme of the white felt hat becomes all the more arresting in that it features the very latest shapes such y Your Copy or an Acq tions, or better still, printed instructions are usually available. The stitch employed around the star and which forms the greater part of the beret is variously known as the "knot stitch" or "hailstone" or "true lover's knot." Here's an added suggestion, if in your enthusiasm you would like to multiply this gracious gift by two, make an evening bag to match. Crochet the same as for the beret and line it with gold tissue cloth. Then sew it into a gold-metal frame after the manner ribbon bags are made. If the metal frame does not have a chain, then use metal ribbon matched to the beret headband to slip over the wrist. CHERIE NICHOLAS. © 1920 Western Newspaper Union. OUCHED WITH ST STYLE GESTURE ns for instance the tricorne and similar types whose brims rise upright from the forehead like the smart model in the oval below in the pic- ture. Its black-and-white feather trim at one side gives it a dashing style, such as indicates a new trend. In the other oval is a white felt which boasts the unbalanced brim silhouette about which we are hearing and seeing so much this season. Insets of black galyak fur give it an air of distinction. The other hats sketched are individualized with novel trimming touches in black. At the top to the left black velvet ribbon ties effectively at the back of a bonnet-like shape styled of white felt which is as soft as a handkerchief. The next hat toward the right looks "nifty" because of its cunning little bow of black galayak. Peeking around the corner is another of the most recent shapes whose brim turns abruptly up. A section of this brim is of black fur. An inset of the fashionable black galayak also imparts a style touch to the model in the center. The manner in which a little black quill is thrust through the long-side brim of the next white felt is in keeping with the trimming trend reflected in daily arriving models from Paris. The little pom poms of black and of white angora perched at the brim edge of the last hat in the group expresses a late note. GUERIE NICOLAS. ( @ 1930, Western Newspaper Union. ) py of The uaintance w APPOINT THE SENATOR. Ex-State Senator John P. Green, the father of the legislation that years ago made "Labor day," a holiday in Ohio, is the oldest practicing attorney at the local bar. For nine years, many years ago, he served this city and county as a Justice of the Peace, an elective position even at that time. While a member of the Ohio House of Representatives and the State Senate, the Senator continued the practice of the law as before and since his election to the Ohio State Assembly. He is unquestionably our leading, ablest and most successful practicing attorney in the state and has been for many years. Despite his age, which is absolutely no handwriting, he is an excellent candidate, for some years to come, is any of the several Afro-American candidates for appointment to the local Municipal Court bench. For two score years, or more, Mr. Green has been one of the most effective campaigners, black or white, for the Republican party in this country, being used often in national cam- 461221 joins in different states, and is a national character because of this act and his long and successful practice of the law. It was the late U. S. Senator Marcus A. Hanna, who in recognition of his long service to the party, locally and nationally, and his splendid standing as an attorney, secured Mr. Green's appointment by President McKinley to the very important position of Stamp Agent in the Post Office department at Washington, D. C., for a number of years. Senator Green thereby only one of the several "colored" candidates, Gov. Myers Y.

Green. try that would justify his appointment. Moreover, the Senator is familiar with several languages that would prove most helpful, since the foreign population or Cleveland is large and interpreters are much in use in that as well as the other local courts. His appointment, Governor, will please and satisfy far more of the people of both races or groups, in this city, than that of any other candidate. Crown his long service at the bar and in the party's harness, Governor, by appointing John P. Green a judge of the local Municipal Court. We, meaning my people of Cleveland, know better than the Cleveland Bar Association and those of the other group, or race, will best work it, if they will best represent us in the position. Then, too, did their wards in Cleveland or OURS, stand by you and Senator Roosec C. McCulloch on the recent election day? You may need us again in the future. We ask you to appoint John P. Green! THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.

Same hair they have, same eyes, mouths, static docility of expression, and self-same sturdy and sporty little durene mesh knit suits designed for strenuous days. But we have to confess right here and now that never again will we attempt to travel with them to a photographer's—not even for the durene mesh showing you delightful durene togs. Nor is this because the children were naughty, nor certainly not because they were singularly uncommunicative. The sad truth is they were indecent enough to lose their heads just at the moment we were stepping into a taxi enroute to the studio. And there, on the corner, stood a policeman who looked both pro- and pro-fully moved and profiled simply, with the hearts of policemen proverbally Telephone P Handy Ba Telephone Poles Make Handy Back-Scratchers NEMIES to telephone maintenance cover a wide field from sleet, wind and rain in Ohio to ants in the Philippines and elephants in Borneo. military forces in quelling an uprising which took place about a year after the United State gained possession of the islands and set a precedent in the use of modern communication in warfare. Elephants, like humans, enjoy having their backs scratched. The means employed by human beings in calling forth the pleasant tinglings are inadequate for the leathery hides of the jungle creatures, however, and in Borneo, their methods proved troublesome to the maintenance of the telephone system. Telephone poles were the easiest little back-scratchers that even an elephant could imagine. Of course, some little damage was done to the telephone system as the big beasts scoured the itchings from their hides, but that's all in the game in Borneo according to British Army engineers. In a recent talk, Majo General Charles McK Saltzman, former chief signal officer of the U. S. Army, described how the army signal corps constructed a telephone and telegraph system throughout the Philippine Islands and laid submarine cables connecting several of the larger islands. This proved an invaluable aid to We must learn to govern oursels and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern oursels and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. Set Precedent OUR LESSON are where children are concerned; and this fine big arm of the law was plainly horrified to the point of being glued to the center of the street. We could stand there 20 feet from him—and knock our children's heads off! Well, we managed to explain all, and arrived at our destination still unarrested. After that everything went well. We've photographed live children the time, and the fact is they do many things carefully. They get charming ideas about "looking at the kitty," and "seeing the fire-engines go by." We remember one young man of four who would smile before the camera only when someone said "ice cream" and when he commenced wriggling in the most amazing fashion, and spilled by this method 11 photographer's plates in as many minutes. Aside from taxi-traveling these are perfect fashion children. Poles Make ck-Scratchers military forces in quelling an uprising which took place about a year after the United States gained possession of the islands, and set a precedent in the use of modern communication in warfare, General Saltzman said. The natives never lost a chance to cut down the copper wires, but far more difficult to combat were white ants which bored into the poles, reducing their centers to powder less than a year after they had been set. General Seeks Aid Seeking some means of exterminating the pests, General Saltzman consulted British army engineers in Borneo. His explanation of what the subtle enemy, the white ant, had done to the poles in the Philippines was received with interest and the general inquired if similar pests effected the telephone system in Borneo. "Oh rather! Elephants," replied one of the Britishers. He told how the elephants, emerging from the jungle, amused themselves in breaking down half a mile or so of poles by using them as scratching posts. As a remedy, the engineers had spikes driven in each pole, but this made them all the more desirable for scratching. What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. General Seeks Aid
