After "trying out" with leg holds and other regular grips of the mat game, Zbyszko started slapping Godfrey with his open hand. After taking a few on the face George decided to take his hand to the mat, his open hand to Zbyszko's chin that terminated their bout. Slapping with the open hand is permissible in the wrestling game. The time was 33 minutes and 26 seconds. As to "Jim-Crow" Schools Washington, D.

Mitchell. For several years this writer has closely followed our conventions. Not in person, but in spirit and thought. From various sources, copies of the proceedings of our conventions have reached this writer. They have been recorded and studied. A special file has been provided to list their resolutions and pledges for future activities. A constant check is made against this file and as we write there are before us hundreds of cards, representing as many resolutions, etc., made during the last conventions, with most of them showing a blank, with one not in red, on performances that have not been recorded out and in a great many instances no apparent effort has been made toward their accomplishment. On the other hand, we have read weeks in advance, outlines of proposed conventional happenings, some of which have brought much factional dissension and publicity, but at the actual conventions these same programs have been steam-rollerled through while the loud opponents are being entertained at social fun activities, resuming up from the after-effects, in all that, the same accomplishment could have been produced at a strictly executive meeting of a few hand-picked officers or proponents. Scott and Hicks Winners. Bellefontaine, O.—Lorraine Scott and Garland Hicks, Central school's speediest runners, did much toward helping their school win the track meet. May 26, and a cup. Scott won the 50 and 75-yard dashes. Hicks won second place. Both were rewarded with ribbons. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS BENNETT For the first time since May, 1929, when the Cleveland Clinic disaster made scores of heroes and heroines, an Ohioian is mentioned in the national awards of Theodore N. Vail Medals. Leonard J. Strang, 7710 Redell Ave., an employee of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company, will receive a silver medal for rescuing a fellow window washer from a dangerous position on a Cleveland telephone building. The national Volunteer Corps awarded only three medals the entire year for 1300. A cash award of $250 accompanies a silver medal. Previous to the national award, Strang received a state bronze medal. His heroism meant the risk of his own life—"a part of the day's work" to him, but the medal committee at New York thought differently. STADIUM GRAND OPERA. A Premiere Danseuse to Assemble the Largest Ballet in Cleveland Opera History—The Most Popular and the Best Operas Only to Be Given—The Stars. Planned on a stupendous scale of production that will surpass any other music season anywhere in the world, the inaugural summer festival of grand opera in Cleveland's new stadium, July 28 to August 2, will include six operas in its six gala nights, presented by the Stadium Grand Opera Company, with twenty RITA De LEPORTE guest stars from the Metropolitan and the Chicago opera companies as principals. Profits go to The Press Milk Fund and seats will average one dollar in price. Nearly 20,000 perfect seats are available in the great stadium. One of the company's best known dancers, Rita DeLeporte, the premiere danseuse of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York, will assemble the largest ballet in opera history for Cleveland's six summer opera productions in the new Stadium on the shore of Lake Erie. She will be premiere danseuse and ballet dancers and has started the work of selecting 100 dancers who will appear in the open-air operatic spectacles. Twenty Metropolitan Opera and Chicago Civic Opera stars are to be selected to sing the leading roles Guy Golterman, famous open-air grand opera impresario and director of the Cleveland season, has announced the repertoire as follows: Tuesday, July 28, "Alida"; Wednesday, July 29, triple-bill - climacteria act from three favorite operas: "Cavalleria Rusticana," "La Goconda," "Die-Meistersinger"; Thursday, July 30, triple-bill - climacteria acts from "Carmen," "The Battered Bride," "Die Meistersinger"; Friday, July 31, triple bill - "Cavalleria Rusti 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 comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWMEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

He dangled at the end of the belt, which luckily caught in a slide fastener at his hips. To rescue him, Strang had to attach his own safety belt to the fast-weakening hook, which also held the other man, and haul him to safety. Had the hook given way, both would have dropped five stories to the pavement. The other two silver medals went to a chief operator in Clinton, Ind., who brought about the capture of five hook robbers, and a telephone repairman in Richmond, Va., who maintained telephone service during a dangerous fire with only a 20-minute interval during which he moved the switchboard from a burning building and set it up in a place of safety. cana," "La Gioconda," "Die Meltersinger"; Saturday, Aug. 1, "Alda"; Sunday, Aug. 2, Selections from the above six operas as chosen by popular demand. HEAR! HEAR!! MILITARY The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! Councilman Roy Bundy's sponsoring a resolution, or ordinance, to extend Central Ave. east, automatically makes Carroll Scott a candidate for the City Council in the 3rd district. Carroll is at the head of an organization, of seven or eight hundred signers, which is bitterly opposed to said street extension and fought Councilman Fielder Sanders' similar effort, of several years ago, to a successful finish. "Carroll was a candidate for the council, some years ago, and with Dr. E. J. Gregg running, too, it would Bundy's "posterior" so high in the air that "The Blossom Triplets' feet would dangle in the clouds --- W. Burr Gongwer, the genial local Democratic chief, soon after last fall's election, designated Dr. L. R. Rogers as the local leader of Afro-American Democrats (so-called). Since that time, there has grown up a sort of three-cornered "leadership squabble" with Rogers, Assist. Co. Prosecutor Norman Selby Minor, and the veteran Democrat, Walter L. Brown on a corner. As far as we can learn, he jumps to "Jimmie" Owens, another local Afro-American Democratic "leader" of late sides with Dr. Rogers. This may and may not be true. However, when the Minor "Tammany Hall" cabaret party was held, May 23, in Elks hall, Dr. "Jimmie", who was to preside, "ducked" the affair. This would lead one to feel that he at least was not looking with favor on Minor's efforts to boost himself into the leadership held by Rogers. The sad thing of it all was that he did not more than about ten couples at the event, heralded Minor "Tammany Hall" had done, thus leaving its project "the den of expense that Brown, Rogers, Owens and others say "will hold him for a while." --- The GAZETTE “UbidSHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES (in Advance) OO Year .. 20. ec eceeesc ses SEO fis Bigethe oss lecscece sos 08 Subscribers are requested to remit Dy postolfice mousy order or Teslstered letter. faterod at the postottice in Cleve: and, Obie, a eoooad-clase melt ‘matter Address ull communications to HARRY ©.

SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1931. In two speeches delivered week before last in North Carolina, Con- sressman Oscar DePriest styled cer- tain “Negro” leaders in Durham, ‘handkerehief-heads,” and urged North Carolina voters to support the Democratic ticket in their state, adding that “The Republicans of the South do not want the Negro it the party. Therefore, he ought to connect himself with the party which can do him the most good.” Our only congressman is surely “goin’ some"! i Representative Blum of this coun- ty has taken up the Prof. Herbert A. Miller matter and we hope will carry it to a successful end. After all, it Is mow more a matter for the Legislature and the Governor of Ohio to handle than the president and board of trustees of Ohio State University, one or both of whom are responsible for the mess" the let- ting out of Dr. Miller has very prop- erly precipitated. He should be kept at O. S. U. Despite the fact that he is a first lieutenant in the U. S. reserve offi- cers training corps and an honor student at N. Y. City college, Mil- ton Quander, 18-year-old son of John P. Quander, assistant cashier of the Dunbar Nat'l. bank, N. Y. City, will not be able to attend the U.S. A. summer camp with his classmates at Plattsburg, N. Y. In- stead Quander must go to a “Jim- row” camp at Fort Hunt, Va. This sad commentary on both the Hoover administration and this entire coun- try onght to be heralded abroad, particularly in Mexico and Nica- ragua. The Hon. Oscar DePriest of Chi- cago, now serving his second term in Congress, has done a good job “barnstorming” — going about the country making good speeches, at so much per speech, as a rule. That’s all right! But isn’t it about time our only congressman was sponsoring for our people some much needed legislation? ‘There is so very much that he could at least attempt to do that is far more con- structive and important than what he is doing. This is not a criticism but a suggestion which we trust the Hor Mr. DePriest will accept in the kinuly spirit it is made. Oh, yes, we are mindful of the fact that there are many other important things he could attempt to do. ‘The great Chicago philanthropist, Julius Rosenwald, who will be 68 years of age, Aug. 12, has indeed “been a fairy godfather for all the Negroes South.” No question as to that, If he would only stop pro- moting ‘“jim-crow” in the North, with his aid of separate “Y's,” hos- Pitals, ete, he would be “a fairy godfather” for all Afro-Americans and not only for those in the South. Says a contemporary, his most not- able contribution has been 5,000 rural schools, serving 612,000 chil- dren, and costing $25,000,000. Of this total amount, Mr. Rosenwald gaye $4,000,000, our people $4,- 500,000, and from public tax funds the remainder was taken. = THE PRESS DESERVES PRAISE. Cleveland, unique as the’only city in the world where grand opera, on an elaborate scale as produced by the Metropolitan Opera Company, pays its own way, will present this summer in its new public stadium an open-air series of operas with a great percentage of the company’s personnel recruited from the city itself. True, a score of outstanding singers will be brought on from the Metropolitan and Chicago Civic Opera companies to take many of the leading roles, but in the main these recognized artists will be the nucteus about whick the new Stad- lum Grand Opera Company is to be built. Having proved that Cleye- land is a musical city and that it will support the world’s greatest company of golden-volced singers with one success after another, the city is now embarking on a civic venture which will give the Ameri- can singer his big chance. As in many new civic enterprises, a news- paper is sponsoring the six-day series which will prove to American singers that there is something more in store for them than a posi- tion in a church choir or an infre- quent engagement on the radio. We congratulate the Cleveland Press, which is sponsoring the season, the profits to provide milk to under- nourished children. GET OUT OF HAITI. Dispatches from Washington, D. €., to the daily newspapers of the country announce that Secretary of State Stimson is negotiating with the Haitian government for “the possible withdrawal” of U. S. ma- Fines from that country within two years, This information was given out as the result of the receipt of letter by President. Hoover trom seven members of the American Civil Liberties Union's national board, N. Y. City, urging immediate ‘withdrawal of all American marines from Haiti and the replacement of American officials there by Haitians. “There is no sound reason why the removal of the marines should wait two. years. Unrest and resentment against their presence grows stead- ily,” says Roger N. Baldwin, direc- tor of the Civil Liberties Union, And he is right, As a matter of fact, they ought never to have been sent if that country had been strong and powerful instead of weak and un- able to protect itself. What the na- tives of Haiti have suffered under the “American (marine) Oceupa- tion” makes a harrowing tale—over 3,000 killed and the moral status of the country lowered. This is read- ily understood when one remembers that most of the U. 8. marines were southern “crackers” whose miscon- duct has yet to be punished as far awe Gavoibienatia; aulears WAS HE LYNCH-MURDERED? Down at Barberton, a small in- dustrial city near Akron, this state, Louis Alexander, age 32, from Ala- bama, turned Communist when out of a job and hungry. With others of the organization, they staged an unemployment demonstration in the shape of a parade in which Alexan- der participated. ‘That made him a marked man in that burg and he was warned to leave town, On Feb. 2, he was taken from his shanty- home, beaten by a mob that in- eluded two uniformed policemen, escorted to the city limits and told to “count ties.” The next day, he returned and visited the mayor with a complaint, as the result of his mistreatment. The mayor told him to return the next day and identity the offending policemen. But the “next day” Alexander was gone. No one seems to know where; and he has not been heard from since. So many at Barberton are wondering what happened to him. It looks very much as if the man hasbeen murdered and not merely run out of town. If he is alive and can be located, he has a mighty good case against Summit county, under our Ohio Mob Violence gct or Anti- lynching law. If his body can be lo- cated, his relatives have a case, and the sum of $5,000 will be theirs. Here is a matter for the Ohio N. A. A. C. P. to handle since it has no local branch in Barberton. What will it do? We shall see. CHARACTER. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced.

Prof. Day was a member of the Harrisburg board of control, for several years. Our old friend, Dr. James K. Nickens, called at the Gazette office, Wednesday afternoon, to inquire if the editor had become his wife had board so. The editor replied: "No such good (?) luck" and added: "The current rumor referred to is but 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 reelected this fall."

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 candidacles 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 councilmanic 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 Masehke, 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. 1 Soft, Glossy and Beautiful PORO Does It!

That women are better automobile drivers than men, is the deduction made by William L. Chenery, editor of Collier's Weekly, from striking analysis of motor accident records from forty states. After making every allowance for the larger numbers of men drivers and the greater mileage covered by them, Mr. Chenery concludes that women drivers were responsible for proportionately fewer deaths and injuries in the 1930 totals than men. Reckless Driving Increased. As a whole, American motorists were guilty of more reckless driving in 1930 than ever before in history. Auto accidents killed 32,500 people and injured 900,000 more. The casualties among children under five years of age were 2,000 killed and 45,000 injured. The World war did not take a greater toll of American lives in battle. Improper driving and nothing else was responsible for more than two-thirds of all the deaths and injuries. Speeding, driving on the wrong side of the road and failure to grant right of way, all evidences of improper driving, accounted for 68 per cent of the accidents. More than 80,000 accidents resulted from motorists driving off the roadway. The biggest single cause of accidents, however, was the improper attempt to take the right of way from some traveler—in a harsh word, hoggishness. Pedestrians Careless. Not only is reckless driving the greatest cause of motor accidents but also is the carelessness of pedestrians the chief explanation of the accidents which befall them. Last year more than 7,000 pedestrians were killed in automobile accidents for which pedestrians were themselves responsible. The greater number of these, however, were children and old people, the two classes least able to care for themselves. The hour of the day and the day of the week of the accidents also tell significant stories. Afternoon is the danger time. Between 4 and 9 p. m. occur 38 per cent of the accidents which result in death. Drivers are tired and hurried during those hours. Week-end driving is most hazardous. Sunday is the worst day and Saturday next. The safest days to drive are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. "The encouraging aspect of the year's 'appalling record,' says Mr. Chenery, "lies in the fact that recklessness was its principal cause. If carelessness and over-confidence kill and injure so many, carefulness and consideration can prevent such losses. The majority of accidents occurred on straight and dry roads in broad daylight with experienced and mature drivers at the wheel. In an overwhelming majority the machine functioned properly; the man was at fault. He took unjustifiable chances. Young men were the worst offenders. The enthusiasm of youth can make a motor car a dangerous weapon." Non-Removable License Tag Adopted in Georgia A new type of license tag, designed to prevent interchange of plates by thieves, has been adopted in Georgia. It is so arranged that when once attached to an automobile, it cannot be removed without destroying a part of the tag and so making it unfit for further use. Besides making it difficult for robbers, who frequently carry several sets of tags with them, the new tag also will prevent automobile owners from using the same set of tags for one or more cars or trucks. Report Road Hazards to Save Other Fellow Make it your business to report highway obstructions that interfere with safe driving, advises the national safety council. There are many such hazards at highway intersections, near certain railway grade crossings, and on highway curves. There are a great many bad corners also where vision is cut off because of shrubbery, trees, small buildings, steep banks, billboards, etc. They continue to be bad corners just because no one takes the trouble to report the conditions. You may get by them without any difficulty, but the next driver may not be so fortunate. Do not wait until after an accident happens. How often we hear some driver say, after a tragedy has occurred, "That was a bad spot there. I had noticed it for a long time." There is nearly always a cleanup of such places when once an accident occurs. The point is, do not wait until the horse is stolen before locking the barn. Report such conditions when you first notice them. Adjustable Curtain Rods Protect Load on Trucks Truck drivers who frequently handle loads that project beyond the sides of the truck will find an adjustable crosspiece on the front helpful in gauging clearance. Such a gauge can be made from a pair of sliding curtain rods, arranged securely to the Sliding Curtain Rods on Front of Truck Form an Adjustable-Width Gauge to Protect the Load. lamp brackets or fenders. Before starting with a load, the driver sets the rods to represent the width of the load so that he has a constant reminder of it before him and can readily see if he has enough space in alley and other restricted places.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. AUTOMOBILE FACTS Recently compiled statistics indicate that women comprise 24.3 per cent of all automobile drivers. A good many drivers are like the worm that turns—they never give any indication of their intention. Another puzzling thing is why the speed cop, after winning a joly race, always seems so mad about it. Some foresee the time in this country when the more decayed type of used car will be sold by the acre. Cost of Roads Is Reduced by Spring Repairs—Head-line. And cost of springs is reduced by road repairs. The net tangible assets of the automobile industry in the United States at the end of 1929 totaled $1,956,687,650.

FASHION CITES "PENCIL PRINTS" AS SOMETHING VERY SMART AND LOVELY Radio Pictures THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES HERE'S hoping that the tour of the style-skeeking pilgrim through the fabric realm will lead to a discovery of the very new and attractive prints which pencil and stencil a single color against a dark or light background. They are the "last word," these prints which delineate in clean-cut pencil strokes together with solid stencil, striking black, navy, red, brown, green or yellow on white, gray or pastel-tinted backgrounds or vice versa. It is one of these prints, which are something very new, which fashioned the charming frock which Roberta Gale of Radio Pictures chose to wear when she posed for the photograph which we here reproduce. A graceful collar-cap and tiered skirt are interesting dressmaker details. Designers are also combining prints of this character with materials in solid tone. The color scheme may be worked out in either of two ways as suits one's fancy. That is, the color of the plain fabric repeats either the tone of the background HAWAIIAN "LEIS" FOR VERY LOVE IT IS a charming custom which the music-loving, flower-loving, romantic people of far-away Hawaii follow of garlanding those whom they wish to honor and to welcome to their shores with "leis" made either of flowers or of colored papers. It is this graceful gesture which has proved inspirational to certain of our style creators who are making the picturesque Hawaiian leis the basic theme for many a lovely flower trimming. Even the furrier has borrowed the idea, the very latest effects in fur neckwear being in garland design. The winsome hat and flower garment picture to the right in the illustration carries the leis idea out in an effective manner. This pretty flower "set" and similar types are the forerunners of a summer program which will make a feature of this attractive fashion. Flower trimnings which outline deep cape collars and scarf ends as shown in this group also bespeak a new trend which is rich in promise for the future.

The print-with-solid-color idea is especially successful as it is worked for the modish redingote costumes. The print is used for the frock and the linings and facings which enliven the long separate coat, the latter being fashioned of either silk crepe or sheer woolen, in navy, black, brown or whatever the choice. Then, too, the dress with a light top, which is so popular this season, is especially effective using smart pencil print together with white flat crepe for the deep yoke and sleeves. Another costume which bespeaks the very essence of chic is the two-piece model, consisting of a jacket and one-piece dress, the jacket repeating the key-color of the print. Since brown with white is being so widely exploited, the print for the frock stencils a brown patterning on white, the hip-length jacket being in monotone brown. Red with white is also outstanding.

A popular idea is the cape collar of white mousseau or georgette which is bordered with large roses hand-made of self fabric. The fashion emphasizes the vogue of the dress with a light top, which for some time has been a popular theme in the style realm. An afternoon frock of dark crepe topped with a flower border draped bertha collar as shown at the top to the left is worth considering for summer wear. Below in the picture the wide scarf ends are trimmed with flowers made of the self-same satin which fashions the dress. The corsage at the shoulder is made of matching flowers. Artificial flowers are as much in use for trimming as are those which are hand-made. The two rows which outline the bertha collar for the flowered chiffon dress pictured to the right are formed of wee-gay velvet pouches. CHERIE NICHOLAS.

NORTH, D Badly Equipped Physician Advocate "Jim-Crow" Mouthed, Ign COLOR-LINE SEGREGATION IN HOSPITALS AND Y. M. C. A.'s HERE IN THE NORTH. DENOUNCED! (Special to The Gazette) Jersey City, N. J.—Mr. Rosenwald has done much good for our people in the South where it is impossible for them to get a square deal. His hospitals and schools are of much value. We believe Mr. Rosenwald's heart is right in his benefactions, but some one is leading him wrong in attempting to get him to build separate hospitals in cities like New York City. There is no place for racial (segregated) hospitals in New York, especially when they are built to cover the crime, race discrimination. Many of our physicians coming North from southern sections are active in trying to establish these separate hospitals. There is no need for them, these physicians should know that they are just as unacceptable as their "race hospital ideas" are. In Jersey City, with more than 300,000 inhabitants, may be found some of the finest and best equipped hospitals in this country. In these hospitals no discrimination is shown, and the staff is well-known physician, Dr Peter E. Kramer has been appointed on the staffs of Christ hospital and also General hospital. Young Dr. Ghee is a graduate of Harvard Medical school as well as the Harvard University College department. By his ability, students can pursue a course, he has worked himself up to the leading places in these hospitals. It is claimed that our physicians, with bad equipment and poor education, are leaders in trying to have established "jim-crow" hospitals. Only physicians of known ability practice and operate in first-class hospitals. Our people have been made the stalking way for our unprepared physicians to do their butchering. They may be conceived that one years a loud talk about establishing some particular place for some colored professional man to ply his trade, there is in the back-ground incompetence, selfishness and graft. Our physicians can be as well A These nine innocent boys were sentenced, at Scottsboro, Ala., to be electrocuted, July 10, on charges of criminal assault on two white "girls" on a freight train.

There are many of our men yelling for "race hospitals," "jim-crow Y's," etc., because they are not prepared to plify their trade or enter "Y's" among standing and ranking qualifications. The reason of "race modulations" to cover over race unpreparedness to function as other men, HAS PASSED! Then, too, a great number of persons, trying to skim along on their "race love," is nothing more than buncomb. With the open-door for equipment and qualification our men in every walk of life must take their places along the trained men and not only colored men. Perhaps the "Negro" ministry is a great sinner in this particular. Too many ignorant, flamboyant and loud-mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stentorian voice as their principal asset. Too many colored ministers, who have been educated, are following the same loud-mouthed practice of catering to the whims of ignorance and ancient habits of our people, simply to get money out of them. A very little conscientious effort is being made by our ministry to uplift and refine our churches. Men are preaching who cannot use correct English and who cannot use English not using pupils in grammar schools. These race-churches, like what physicians call "race hospitals," are doing more injury to religion than help. "Negro" ministers and physicians should be the equals in every way of the ministers and physicians of all other races. ROSENWALD SCORED!

A The readers of this newspaper are to join millions of other Americans in the enjoyment of his delicious humor which will appear in strip form REGULARLY IN THIS NEWSPAPER 1 busy man; therefore, my remarks will be brief: (1) For many years I have concluded that the Julius Rosenwald system of "Christian Philanthropy" (I think it is the operating name of the organization, including Y. M. C. A. buildings, exclusively "Negro" was inimical to the best interests of every community where recognized. (a) It creates, perpetuates and accentuates a class and caste spirit, un-American and directly opposed to principles of Christianity.—Matt. 7:12; John 1:33; 4:34; Matt. 6:8-12:14. (b) The cornerstone of an American democracy is an equal opportunity for all men in all fields of endeavor, without partiality, prejudice or hypocrisy!—2 Cor. 8:14, 15. (c) The platform of the Christian religion—"God is our father; Christ our Redeemer; the Holy Ghost our comforter; and all, we are brethren!"—Gal. 3:26, 28—is absolutely denied in toto by Julius Rosenwald's method of charity as announced, "exclusively for Negroes." (2) Why should he endeavor to foist "exclusively Negro hospitals" in the North? Did the colored people "en masse" ask for this blot upon their American citizenship? Did the white population protest against their "colored brother" having the same disease, the same accidents and maladies they have, that "hospitals exclusively Negro" are statewide necessities? Do you not see ultimately (if his system was a success) the created national, racial, religious and social "Chinese wall" of separation, discrimination and segregation that will be erected and enforced (in a spiteful spirit) by both peoples of our American civilization?—Gal. 6:7.
