Moore, owner of The New York Age, referred to the fact that Editor Wm. E. DuBois of the Crisis, when a youngster, sold copies of his paper. "Also, my little friend Bragg," added Mr. Moore, looking toward the table at which he sat. The general of New York State, was seated. "That, however, was in the days when Bragg was still with his fath- J. B. H. Cornelius W. MacDougald. er—a good Republican in Baltimore. Wonder how long will Harry be a Democrat, anyway? he asked. "Long enough to hold a $4,000 job—more than he could ever get out of the Republicans," murmured Atty. Cornelius W. MacDougald has held several high salaried pubs and restaurants. City, not Tammany Hall, the most powerful Democratic organization in this country. SIMPLY WONDERFUL! The Development of the Telephone in Cleveland and United States and Albany. Telephone development in Greater Austria surpasses that of the entire country of Austria where Vienna alone has a population of 2,000,000, according to the latest bulletin on world telephone statistics just received from the American Telephone and Telegraph Company at New York by officials of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. There are 251,043 telephones in the Belgian province of its office having a combined population of 1,880,000, has only 8,630 more telephones than Cleveland. Ohio has more telephones than France and its total also exceeds the number of instruments throughout Asia. There are approximately 1,220,000 in the state as compared with 1,056,000 in France and 1,201,000 in Asia. The U. S. has more than 20,000,000 telephones or 58 per cent of the world's total; Europe has a little more than 29 per cent and the remaining 13 per cent are distributed widely throughout the rest of the world. Cleveland has 20.8 telephones for each 100 inhabitants. This is greater than the nation's ratio of 16.4. This is the season of the year when you want most the best fruits, vegetables and all green stuff; groceries, fish and meats to be found only in a first-class, up-to-date market like the Woodland-E. 55th market. It is a world of satisfaction to know that you can get these things there at the most reasonable prices and be welcomed — accorded the best treatment. There, your trade is appreciated! There is no neater, cleaner or better-curried market in the city. Survived Curried proper treatment at all times. Therefore, spend your money where you can get the best at the most reasonable prices, and where it is appreciated. WONDERFUL SERVICE That Is What Civil Service Commissioner, Ferdinand Q. Morton Is Doing, Says Dr. Byrd. Jersey City, N. J.—Ferdinand Q. Morton is a useful Democrat. The criticism leavens against him need not be taken seriously. A United Colored Democracy is necessary if [Name] colored Democrats of New York are to get what belongs to them. Individuals holding lucrative offices by the influence of the organization but are unwilling to help maintain the organization, should be disbarred from holding office. We venture the assertion that had any white man levied this tribute, these same individuals would have been as silent as the grave. Mr. Morton is doing a wonderful service to the whole race. It is a fine thing that the leadership of Tammany does not pay any attention to the senseless attacks made on a very successful man in the administration of his office. We are of a different party but we are able to see good any man accomplishes, irrespective of his politics. Then, too, our men are aware of the others of the race because of political differences. We hope Mr. Morton will live long to keep up the good work of helping our citizens to share the revenues of the city of New York state and city. That national guard at Elberton, Ga. rose to the occasion when it gave the mobbists a taste of their own medicine. The one sure thing, that will do more to stop lynching than any other, is to let the mob know that it is a lawless band, has forfeited the respect and protection of the law and must be treated as dangerous outlaws, to be shot down when they attempt to ply their trade. All of the inter-racial commissions of the South by meeting and resolving will have no effect upon the mob, but that it is given administered will stop it. The South owes it to itself to stop lynching and mob rule. (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. MADAM "SAT ON THEM"! And She Is No "Lightweight" Either —Foolish Mothers Get It. Sacramento, Cal.—Mme. Ernes tine Schumann-Heink, world-famed singer and grand old war mother rebuke war mothers here because of their silly protests concerning the appearance of "foreign-blooded" and colored American children at a social marking the deduction of memorial auditorium. City Manager James Dean told Mme. Schumann-Heink some of the mothers had protested the appearance, last week Friday night, of Afro-American, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese and Italian children on the stage. The women thought such a "melting pot" aggregation was not representative of the American race. O! yeah! When Mme. Schumann-Heink finished her singing and after the applause died down she said: "As a war mother I know what it means to suffer. I gave five sons, four to 'Uncle Sam' and one to his old fatherland. It is up to the war mothers to teach their children the love of law—and not make a difference between black, or yellow, or brown. Don't make a difference in race or creed. You make war among yourselves—through your children." The Ideal Health Promoters had their annual party, a chicken-dinner, May 21, at their president's home in E. $77th St. Much credit is due Mrs. Frances Thurston and Mrs. Lula Williams for their efforts in making the affair a success. Everyone spent a very pleasant evening, receiving much inspiration for the coming year.

Color and pageantry of presentation hitherto unknown in opera, will be possible in the new stadium. Director Golterman declared. THE "NUMBERS RACKET"! Two Barons Show Deposits of Three Million Dollars—Numbers-Policy—Dr. E. A. Clarke. New York City.—Inquiry into the numbers-policy racket in Harlem uncovers two alleged numbers-barons who have deposited $3,000,000 in banks in the past five years. One of them, Henry Miro, a Porto Rican, who came to this country as a laborer, was arrested for perjury, recently, and released later under $15,000 ball. Deposits in the bank of the United States showed that he had handed $14,000 in 1927, $255,000 in 1928, $380,000 in 1929, and $621,000 in 1930. Miro's numbers-runners are said to have taken bets as low as one cent. His writers and agents were celluloid buttons which identified them to the police so that they were not arrested. Wilfred S. Brander, second of the alleged numbers - barons, vanished while under subpoena. Probe of his checking account in the Dunbank National Bank shows that he deposited $15,546 in 1929; $120,108 in 1930, and in the Chelsea Bank he deposited in 1925, $133,794; in 1926, $173,317; in 1927, $297,672; in 1928, $132,129; and in 1930, $449,852. The total came to $1,753,342. The hearing which brought out these facts is said to be the last in the magistrate's inquiry for some time to come, until summer is over. Former Ohio Pastor One of the fifty persons in the world sufficiently familiar with the relativity theory of Albert Einstein, noted German scientist, to be regarded as an authority on the subject is Rev. Edward A. Clarke, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church here; former member of the faculty of Force University and a minister in Cleveland and Columbus, O., later on. In a five-thousand-dollar essay contest sponsored by the Scientific American, a magazine devoted to scientific matters, fifty essayists were chosen as being the best of the large number of contestants. The names of these fifty were published on the front page of a book published by the university on Einstein's theory, and there are only one and a half listed among the others, in the name—"Edward A. Clarke 171 Lexington Ave., Columbus, Ohio." --- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year . . . $2.00 Six Months . . . 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

Arthur Brisbane's statement that "for any real achievement, heredity means 99 percent and environment only 1 percent" undoubtedly explains the prize-fight loving and very thin-veneered civilization of today, when one recalls what Darwin said relative to the original ancestors of people. --- The Hon. Charles E. Mitchell of West Virginia, U. S. minister to Liberia, West Africa, writes from his new station that he and his party were not barred from London, England, hotel and were not accorded any indignities while enroute to Liberia. The false reports were evidently sent to the American newspapers by some prejudiced (southern) American newspaper writer in London. His kidney never lose an opportunity to try to encourage the color-line wherever they are on this continent, or abroad. In the absence of her husband, the wife of a shiffy (white) in Tennessee, saved the life of a "Negro" prisoner while another member of the race was taken from a jail in a nearby town and lynch-murdered in the court-house yard. Attention is called to the fact that while she saved the man, she also "saved justice." Very true. There are, however, so very many opportunities to do this very thing in that section of the country that it might be a good idea to turn the shiffy's office, in every community down there, over to a woman. We really believe that justice and our people would be the gainers by such a drastic change. Some time ago President Hoover said: "Platform pledges must not be empty gestures." Recently the Republican National committee issued an official document in which is listed the party's platformpledges, of 1928, in one column, and in a parallel column is told what has been done to fill each of them. Opposite the anti-lynching plank is a blank space indicating that nothing has been done in its case. One only needs to add that the Republican party has several times refused to enact a federal statute, outlawing lynching. To make it perfectly clear that there is but one other party organization in this country worse, from our particular (racial), viewpoint, than the Republican party, we have only to call attention to the pro-lynching Democratic party with Senators Joe Robinson of Arkansas and Pat Harrison of Mississippi, Ex-Senators Cole Blease of South Carolina and "Tom-Tom" Hefin of Georgia as its leaders. Attention ought also to be called to the fact that the Republican and the Democratic parties too often function beautifully in national affairs when it comes to making unsuccessful any and all efforts to secure the enactment of a federal anti-lynching statute or any kind of legislation in Congress promoting our rights and privileges under the law. MILLER A SACRIFICE We are satisfied that racial prejudice had far more to do with Prof. Herbert A. Miller's being dropped from the faculty of Ohio State University by its president and trustees than his speech to Mahatma Gandhi's followers in Bombay, India, in March of last year. We are free to confess that we have been expecting something of this kind for several years because of Prof. Miller's very advanced stand in all matters of racial concern. He is one of the very few professional men of any kind in this country who contend that there is no such thing as "racial inferiority" and that all persons of all races should be treated fairly and right without any reference to their racial connection or religious profession. He is possibly more outspoken, along this line, than any other educator in the country. Very naturally Prof. Miller has aroused the resentment of all prejudiced persons, among the number being those powerful enough to influence the president and trustees of Ohio State University, with the result now known to the entire country. It is just a little encouraging, however, to note the ract that many leading daily newspapers of the country have very properly arrayed themselves on Prof. Miller's side of the controversy. However, his misreatment in this instance is but one of the many ways that the powerful prejudice of this country takes to beat down all efforts to cross their many color, racial and religious lines. The Ohio State University is an institution supported by the taxpayers of this state and its legislators not only have a right to but should take a hand on the right side in this Miller-O. S. U.-President George W. Rightmire and trustees' affair. We regret, and exceedingly too, that we are not a member of the legislature of the state of Ohio at this particular time. Herbert A. Miller is one of the nation's foremost sociologists, and as teacher and scholar he has served two Ohio institutions of higher education, Oberlin college and Ohio State University. A HOT TIME IN THE OFFING. Ex-Councilman Thos. W. Fleming's followers in the 11th, 17th, and 18th wards, nearly all of whom have been persecuted in one way or another, all last year and this, thus far, by the ever-decreasing Payne, Bundy and George followings, have sharpened their political knives on both sides and to an exceeding finesse for use, this fall, on the candidates of "The Blossom Triplets." The white Republican voters in all three wards are thoroly disgusted with the councilmen, and there are others (of color) too numerous to mention. Candidate E. J. Gregg (doctor) of the 17th ward is "prescribing" for both Bundy's and Payne's candidacies, and Candidate James A. Rogers (undertaker) of the 11th ward is preparing to take charge of the political remains of those two of "The Blossom Triplets." Both gentlemen guarantee a perfect job, one that will please immensely the great majority of our loyal members of the race, and others, not only in the 11th and 17th wards but in the entire third councilmatic district. The 18th Ward "Negro" Democratic club and his split following will take care of George. Then there are the Afro-American and Jewish Republicans of the 12th ward who long since determined to resent the covert and even open attacks George, Payne and Bundy have been making on Councilman Finkle ever since their election to the City Council; as well as Bundy's daily newspaper threat, of some months ago, to have the leader of the local Republican organization thrown out of the 17th ward if he came up there to make a political speech. And it was this same leader, Maurice Maschke, who placed Bundy on the Republican slate, a year ago last fall, at the request of the editor of The Gazette who was accompanied by Rev. Horace C. Bailey of this city. More than anything else, it is the opposition of "The Blossom Triplets" to the re-election of Councilman Herman Finkle that has given encouragement to the ever-increasing talk of Finkle as the Republican candidate for mayor in case there is a successful charter amendment election. Add to the foregoing George, Payne and Bundy's traitorous conduct in the Blossom matter, their utter failure to measure up in the City Council—eradicate to the minimum the miserable race-prejudice in various city departments and help those of our young men and women who have won city jobs and positions in civil service examinations only to be barred from them by prejudiced officials; and the many other good reasons why the joke "triplets" will be defeated on election day in November, and you will have no difficulty in reaching a conclusion as to what the "hot time in the offing" is going to be, this fall. --- Raymond E. Gilyard (white), police chief and former mayor of Seymour, Conn., shot himself in the head, recently, and did several other foolish things in addition to trying to place the blame for his condition on six members of the race he had persecuted. All this for the purpose of working up sympathy and escaping his creditors. He was not allowed to get away with this, however, as the result of an official investigation. Surely Gilyard must be a native of "Dixie," as suggested by his use of a very common and dirty southern trick. Harrisburg, Pa., has named one of its schools in honor of Wm. Howard Day (deceased), a graduate of Oxford (Eng.) University, and more than fifty years ago a resident of Cleveland, Ohio, where he published a newspaper for a brief period. Prof. Day was a member of the Harrisburg board of control, for several years. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEAD IN EFFECTIVE LEGISL Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder Work of a Member of the His Ohio Civil Rights Our mob violence or anti-lynching very effect The conceit, vanity and egotism of some of our "outstanding" professional men will be continued, it seems. They will be able to keep their autos and offices now, and not have to go to work either. All due to the school-board's decision, last week, to not drop their "meal tickets," "married teachers." When you are refused service in a restaurant, or any other public place of accommodation, amusement, etc., in this city, The Rounder suggests that you get in touch immediately with the editor of The Father of Ohio's Civil Rights law, and can help you to get justice and your rights. Some weeks ago, fifty new policemen were appointed, not one of them being a member of the race, And we have THREE members of the City Council! One would think that at least three of the fifty (one for each councilman) would have been Americans. This is the kind of seismic peaks on the community are receiving from "The Blossom Triplets." Some of the leading members of St. James A. M. E. church are still urging a substantial reduction in the salary of the pastor, claiming that the economic depression makes it absolutely necessary. That congregation, it seems to The Rounder, is entirely too small to maintain a pastor's salary and expenses that total nearer $5000 than $4000. Our church people of this community pay the unemployment situation and are in no financial position to continue paying their pastors salaries ranging all the way from $3000 to $5000. It is high time to call a halt, and if they don't know it, they will before the end of next winter. The Political Liar Arriver Early. Our old friend, Dr. James K. Nickens, called at The Gazette office, Wednesday afternoon, to inquire if the editor had become a benedict as rumored. He said his wife had heard so. The editor replied: "No such good (?) luck," and added that "The editor wanted to be a revival of a campaign political lie (first circulated during the 11th ward councilmanic campaign, nine or ten years ago) by present-day campaign LIARS evidently interested in the futile efforts of 'The Blossom Triplets' to be re-elected this fall." The Rounder that the foregoing too good to fail of publication. It was at our 18th ward Democratic club banquet, some works go the Dr. James A. Owen, our own "Little Jimmie," local Democratic leader of color, said in a speech: "We have voted like sheep in the past, but we have learned that only by representation in both political parties can our vote be made effective. "The Rounder don't like that first part of the doctor's sentence. If "we have voted (as Republicans) like sheep in the past" that is no reason why we should vote like slaves (as Democrats) in the future. "Jimmie" might have put it in a little better way and softened the expression considerably. The Rounder agrees with him, however, that our vote strength being necessary in order to make our vote more effective, more valuable and of far more help to racial progress, local and national.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our mob-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 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 the Pennsylvania and New Jersey The Ohio law follows. 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282.

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 enforced 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 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 occupancy, advantages, facilities or privileges of a bailiff be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, 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 five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered 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 in 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. DOINGS OF THE RACE.
