When his son, Theodore, was dying, Senator Green went to church. He was dead when his father returned. The nurse had told Mr. Green that Theodore would live till afternoon.

Harry Clea Smith, Editor Gazel Smith, Cleveland, Dear Mr. Smith--You have probably noticed in the papers of yes- M. terday the announcement of my appointments in the State treasury. I am glad to say that one of these, that of John Fossett, is a colored man, and that this makes three colored men, employed in the office, that of John Fossett, is one more than at any other time, except during the time that I served as treasurer before when there was three. At no other time and under no other treasurer has there ever been more than two. And I may say that there were numerous white men who applied for the position. Yourselves since Harry S. Day, Treasurer of Ohio. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS LEADER OF THE ABOLITIONISTS AND ANTI-SLAVERY ADVOCATES, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER. Large and Most Enthusiastic Audience Gives Speaker Ovation at the Opening and Closing of Address—Poindexter Brotherhood of the Second Baptist Church Leads. Columbus, O.—The Second Baptist church of this city, Dr. E. W. Moore, pastor, was filled, New Year's night, with an exceptionally fine audience to help the Poindexter Brotherhood of the church celebrate the centenary of the Boston Liberator. Wm. Lloyd Garrison's great anti-slavery and abolitionists paper, Smith of Cleveland, editor of The Gazette the speaker of the evening. It was indeed a great meeting and a grand success in every way. In introducing the editor attention was called to the fact that for nearly fifty years Mr. Smith, editing The Gazette, had battled for the race, in season and out, and was privileged other groups of Americans enjoy under federal, state and local laws; also that during his six years' service, as a member of the Ohio Legislature, M. H. Judge Albion W. Tourgee. he had secured the enactment of more and better laws for our people than all of the more than twenty odd other Ohio Afro-American legislators. His Civil-Rights and Anti-Lynching laws, upheld for more than thirty years by Republican court, Ohio Afro-American court, stand as onbeacon lights and have, for Afro-American legislators, for the period mentioned. The editor was greeted with the Chautauqua salute and immediately began a concise yet illuminating discussion of the life of the greatest of abolitionists, their leader, William Lloyd Garrison, which was at once intensely interesting and illuminating, and covered the period from his birth in 1805 to his practical retirement from active participation in the country's affairs at the close of the war of the rebelled states, and recital which the large and enthusiastic audience frequently punctuated with round after round of spontaneous applause, and thoroly enjoyed. At its conclusion Mr. Smith spoke most interestingly of other abolitionists and anti-slavery advocates: namely, the great Wendell Phillips whose oration on Toussaint L'Ouverture will live forever; Charles Sumner, and his federal Civil Rights law; the great Henry Ward Beacher, Ellijah P. Lovejoy, martyr, like Wm. Lloyd Garrison also an editor; our greatest anti-slavery advocates: the great Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth. Then Harriet Beacher Stowe of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" fame, Judge Albion W Tourceur, U. S. Senator Joseph Bloch Powell, Other leaders of the race) and a quarter and a half century age many of whom the editor knew personally were referred to by the speaker in such a way as to thoroly arouse the large audience. In concluding Mr. Smith not only illustrated but stressed the race's crying need of aggressive and unselfish leadership, characterizing it as "our greatest need of the times." At the conclusion of his speech the audience, led by Dr. Elbert W. Moore, arose to their feet and gave him such an ovation and testimonial in the way of applause as will ever remain a pleasant memory with not only the speaker but all who were so fortunate as to be present and participate in it. As before the opening of the 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.

Plastic Audience Gives Speaker ing and Closing of Address— berhood of the Second meeting, so as its close, a large orchestra furnished splendid music. After praising the speaker and his long service to the race, the pastor of the church called attention to the need for a pastor employed the Second Baptist church was doing, and urged greater support of the Polnexher Brotherhood, U. S. Senator Joseph B. Foraker. making a very interesting talk indeed. Dr. Moore spent Monday in Cleveland where he addressed the Ministers' Conference in the morning and the W. Madison Ave. Baptist church in the evening, one of the largest white congregations that arguably had a telephone speaker as well as a "live-wire" pastor. The proceeds of the "centenary" celebration were added to the church's fund for the unemployed and needy. Editor Smith remained in the city until noon, Friday, in order that he might call upon Gov. Myers Y. Cooper and make a plea for a pardon for former Councilman Thos. W. Fleming of Cleveland. While here, he was the guest of Dr. Moore and his splendid helpmate. Both Thursday and Friday and Friday our leading business men of this city, placed a large and beautiful automobile at Mr. Smith's disposal, on the suggestion of Dr. Moore. DOINGS OF THE RACE. There were twenty-five lynch-murders, last year; only one white. Detroit now has only two Afro-American lieutenants of police. The third one died last week. The New Jersey commissioner of banking and insurance has selected an Afro-American for his department of the state service. Col. Benj. O. Davis, U. S. A., has been assigned by the War Department to teach military science again at Tuskegee (Ala.) N. & I. Institute. Congressman Fred Hartley, of Newark, N.

COOPER, GREEN, MARTIN. Mrs. Louise J. Pridgeon, prest- dent of the Harlan club of this city was wrong when she made the charge in a letter to Gov. Myers Y. Cooper, Jan. 3, 1931, that he had “ignored the candidacy of Atty. Alex. H. Martin” who was one of the two “Afro-American candidates for appointment as judge of the lo- cal Municipal court. While it is to be regretted that the Governor did not find it possible to appoint Sena- tor John P, Green to the position, the oldest practicing attorney at the local bar, he did not ignore the can- didacy of either the Senator or Mar- tin, but gave the matter long and careful consideration. The effort of the Cleveland Bar Association, sup- plemented by that of the Harlan club, to have the Governor appoint Martin was a misdirected one for reasons so well-known that it Is not necessary to repeat them at this time. The Governor is only to be praised for his refusal to appoint Martin, especially since he had an opportunity to withdraw from the contest, when he knew he was out of it, failed to do so and thus aid materially in the appointment of Senator Green. — ne pe | eee ‘MAKING BAD SERVICE WORSE. A thirty-day zone trial of five- cent trolféy fare on four East Side lines, from the Square to E. 55th St., to start Feb. 1 has been author- fzed by the City Council's committee on traffic which has several Afro- ‘American members. The trial will be conducted on Woodland, Kins- man, Broadway and Union lines. Why not the Central Ave. line? This is squarely up to Councilman Lawr- ‘ence 0. Payne! s ‘The revision of schedules on the E, 30th St. crosstown line so that service between 7 P. M. and mid- night will bo eliminated has been authorized by the council committee ‘on transportation, of which there is one or more Afro-American mem- bers, and Traction Commissioner Ballou authorized to do the revis- ing. Here's» another matter for Councilman Payne to wrestle with. Come on, brother, and make them stop ignoring and injuring the ser- vice on the only two street-car lines in the city that operate almost wholly thru the heart of the section most thickly populated by our peo- ple. They have done nothing to improve the.service on either of these lines, but have only steadily made it worse. And now they are preparing to-still further curtail the service, Lord, have mercy! One can stand (anytime during the day or night) and wait for a Central ‘Ave. car until he near freezes or gets bow-legged. He can walk, even to Cedar or Scovill Ave., and ahh nde Rabies eurvice. . WHY?. J. W, JOHNSON EARNED IT. According to reports eminating from N. ¥. City, headquarters of the N. A. A. C. P., James Weldon Johnson, for some years secretary of the organization, has resigned and been elected a vice-president and a member of its board of di- yeetors.. The reports have it that Johnson's resignation was the re- _sult of pique over the election of Major J. BE. Spingarn, for many years one of the best known Jewish friends of the race and long affili- ated with the N. A. A. C. P. in one official capacity or another. John- som had undoubtedly earned the pro- motion, while great influence had to ‘be exercised to induce Major Spin- garn to actept the position owing to the demands of business connec- tions on his time. The former knows ‘the work of the organization bet- ter than anyone else connected with tt, and there is no question as to his competency. In the light of the ser- ‘vice he has rendered, it docs seem to us, especially since it required extra effort to secure Major Spin- garn, that Johuson ought to have ‘been elevated to the presidency. Be- ‘ne elected vice-president and a di- Tector removes him from the direc- tion of very much of tie N. A. A. C. P.’s activities and as a matter of fact 1s a demotion rather than an elevation as some of our contem. poraries would impress their read- ers. We verily believe that if John- son had been at the helm instead of absent on a vacation, the N. A. A, C. P. would never have been misted {nto its unfortunate political activi ties of last fall, certainly not to the extent of practically soliciting funds from Democratic candidates for U. S. Senator to use in a. misguided effort to defeat certain Republican candidates for the position. A lack of political experience was undoubt- edly the cause of Acting-Secretary Walter White's being so easily mis- led into making so harmful a mis- take, Tho No A. A.C. P. really ought to have elected James “Wel- don Johnson president, as a matter of fairness and justice to its best worker in recent years, Prot. Noval H. Thomas (deceased) excepted. —iltt— WALTER L. COHEN. The recent death of the Hon. Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of cus- toms at New Orleans, removes from the field of political action about our only state-leader in the South. Deas of South Carolina, Joe Lee of Florida, Pledger and later Johnson of Georgia, Morton of Alabama, Hill, Lynch and Hurst of Mississ- ippi, Demas, Pinchback and Cohen of Louisiana, Cuney of Texas are now nearly all gone. We knew everyone of those named, counting most of them personal friends. Among all there was hardly any more active and lovable a character than Walter Cohen, whose Louisi- ana delegation to the St. Louis Re- publican National convention which the “lily-whites” of his state were opposing, Rud Hynicka of Cincin- nati, then Ohio Wepublican Na- tional committeeman, at our re- quest in compliance with a telegram from Cohen materially assisted to be seated in the convention. We fave not seen Walter Cohen since our last meeting at the nation’s capitol when his conference with President Warren G. Harding fol- lowed ours. In Cohen's death the race sustains positive and almost irreparable loss. He was Intensely loyal, thoroly experienced and ex- ceptionally able; a real leader! HEAR!
