Northerners Living and Visiting in That State Called On to Boycott and Teach It a Much-Needed Lesson. (Special to The Gazette.) Jersey City, N. J.—The driving out of Cookman College a white woman teacher by the Ku Klux Klan of Florida stamps this body as a chance to goodwish and inter-racial harmony. The southern Negro was largely made what he is now by the efforts of white men and women who saw an opportunity to do good [Name] and proceeded to do it by helping to educate and uplift him. Institutions like Atlanta University, Fisk University, Lincoln University, Howard University and many others, where colored students were educated, were manned primarily by white men and women associated with our men and women. There is no place in this country for such an order as the K. K. K. It is more menacing and hurtful than all of the "Reds" and Communists. Back of the K. K. K. is the determination of a kew inferior whites, to regulate conditions in their community, to uphold their right. The contrast between the white woman consecrated to education and uplift, and this infamous body of hypocrites, cowards and night-culprits, is marked and significant. Mary Bethune has done enough for Daytona and Florida to be spared the interference and molestation of these semi-civilized white hoodians. The white woman teacher is entitled to the protection of law and the support of decent people. The K. K. K. is styled a Protestant organization founded by renegades of the Methodist Episcopal Church. If this is a product of the poor white trash, then a new force to be injected into protestant religion which will give it at least a semblance of the spirit of Jesus. Until the South, both "the poor white trash" and the contemptible religious trash parading under protestantism, curb these vicious elements, it is not a safe place for human beings to dwell in. It is time that northern men and women, who spend millions of dollars in Florida annually, call a halt to this brutality, or they themselves refuse to support a state that will not protect all human beings. The northwest's unlawful practice, this unlawful practice, by spending his money in the south. There should be an economic boycott of Florida until she learns to protect human rights. Wm. A. Byrd. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Only 10 of the 200 Pullman porters laid off, last fall and winter, have been put back to work and they on the N. Y. Central and New Haven railroads. John Epps, of Kansas City, a mechanic, age 38, and Anna E. Whitaker (white), age 36, born in Virginia, were granted a license to wed at York, Pa., last week Thursday. After a 16 months' run at the Manhattan theater in Harlem, N. Y. City, the great "religious" play, "Green Pastures" will close next Saturday night. It is "going on the road." The International Labor Defense (the I. L. D.) and the N. A. A. C. P. are fighting for the privilege to be in the defense of the nine boys condemned to death (in July) at Scottsboro, Ala. Recently, the janitor of Douglas hospital, Philadelphia, found a three-day old boy-babe on the fourth floor of the nurses' home of the hospital. Its tiny hands clutched electric wires. Julius Rosenwald's plans for a new hospital on Hampton Va. N. & I. Institute property provides for "jim-crow waiting rooms for colored and white" altho the hospital is primarily for our people. Hampton Institute trustees do not control the hospital. HARDING! [Picture of William C. H. HARDING MEMORIAL! The Dedication a Great Event—Hoover and Coolidge Speakers—Tremendous Crowd—The President's Estimate of Warren G. Marion, O.—Below is given that part of President Herbert Hoover's speech here, Tuesday afternoon, at the dedication services of the beautiful Warren G. Harding memorial which is one of the finest, most President Herbert Hoover. timely, effective and correct estimates of the man uttered by anyone since the untimely death of *President Warren G. Harding*. It will greatly soften the strong feeling against Mr. Hoover that has been growing in this state for many months owing to many unfortunate publications, in the daily newspapers of Ohio agent the President's birth party, in Harding dedication services. Here is President Hoover's fine and timely tribute to "Warren G. Harding, the man": "My first meeting with Warren Harding ever lingers in my memory. It was during the war and in a time of the greatest strain and anxiety. Late one evening the then Senator Harding, whom I had never met, announced there flashed a mind the thought that here was some complaint or a request for some appointment. Instead the Senator said simply: 'I have not come to get anything. I just want you to know that if you wish the help of a friend, telephone me what you want. I am there to serve and I was the statement, I came to learn, was typical of him. I refer to it now because it reveals the nature of the man. "I was one of those who accompanied the late President on his fateful trip across the continent and to Alaska. He had wished to learn from the people their needs and to help them with their own aspirations. Those who were his companions on that journey realized full well that he had overstrained even his robust strength in the gigantic task which confronted him during the previous two years. And we came also to know that here was a man whose soul was being seared in the fire. We saw him gradually weaken not from physical exhaustion but from mental anxiety. Warren Harding had a dim realization that he had been betrayed by a few of the men whom he had trusted, by men whom he had believed were his devoted friends. It was later proved in the courts of the land that these men had betrayed not alone the friend's loyal friend but they had betrayed their country. That was the tragedy of the life of Warren Harding. "There are disloyalties and there are crimes which shock our sensibilities, which may bring suffering upon us, and which are to be tackled by immediate results." Rush 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 NEWSIEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. E COPY FIVE CENTS RDING! is no disloyalty and no crime in all the category of human weaknesses which compares with the failure of probity in the conduct of public trust. Monetary loss or even the shock to moral sensibilities is perhaps a passing thing, but the breaking down of the faith of a people in the honesty of their Government with the insistence of their institutions, the lowering of the standards of honor which prevail in high places, are crimes for which punishment can never atone. "Warren Harding gave his life in worthy accomplishment for his country. He was a man of delicate sense of honor, of sympathetic heart, of transcendent gentleness of soul—who reached out for friendship, who gave of it loyally and generously in his every thought and deed. He was a man of passionate patriotism. He was a man of deep love for him. He was devoted to his fellow men. New of his character can equal that of his own words just before his death. They were a part of his last public statement. [ quote ] "We need less of sectarianism, less of denominationalism, less of fanatical zeal and its exactions, and more of the Christ spirit, more of the Christ practice, and a new and abiding consecration and reverence for God. I am a confirmed optimist as to the growth of the spirit of CALVIN COOLIDGE brotherhood. * * * We do rise to brotherhood at times when we look for the good rather than the evil in others, and give consideration to the views of all. The inherent love we have is banding men together, and when they are vanquished, fraternity records a triumph and brotherhood brings new blessings to men and to peoples * * * * Christ was the Prince of Peace, and we who seek to render His name glorious must move in the ways of peace and brotherhood and loving service." "He gave his life in that spirit, and in that spirit we pay tribute to his memory." GIVEN FIRST COMMUNION. Six of Our Group Baptized a Week Before the Ceremony in a Convent Chapel. Toledo, O.—A group of our children, aged seven to twelve, received first Holy Communion in Notre Dame chapel here, June 7. They had attended the convent chapel on the invitation of the sisters. The Rev. Francis J. Keyes, pastor of St. Patrick's parish, baptized six of the first communicants over a week ago, celebrating the 28th anniversary of the first mass at this service and preaching sermon in which he expressed his special pleasure over the occasion, our little girls (white) led the first communicants to the sanctuary gate and stood by as a guard of honor. Breakfast was served to the children, their relatives and friends, in the academy refectory. --- pipes wis sa eae i a Serta oe er EE The GAZETTE SUBSCRIPTION RATES: (im Advance) ete veces et registered letter. jand, Ohio, as second-class in heat efter xe beeen ee 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 10902. & Giga ion — ee Pie ae (hees Aide 4 = ieee’ acai 325,000 in Ohio. oe ons Dr. Carter G. Woodson of Wash- ington, D. C., says: “One-tenth of ail the federal jobs should be given to our people,” and he Is right, too. Sa G. A. R. veterans of the war of the rebellion stepped out, of the ranks and refused to march, June 14, °31, in @ flag day procession, at Baltimore, Md., because a Confed- erato flag was carried by a boy scout, at the head of the column, with the stars and stripes and the flag of Maryland. The Legion of Valor, decorated men of all wars, also very properly refused to march. And yet, for 25 years and more, the South viciously decried the “waving of the bloody shirt” when any effort was made tn the Congress to secure and sufe-guard, in that section, our rights and privileges under the U. 8. constitution. In the faco of this, that Baltimore effort to exploit “the stars and bars,” the Confederacy’s dirty rag of rebellion, is about the limit! At the recent first national con- ference’ of young Republicans, held last week at the nation’s capital, Executive Director Robert H. Lucas of the Republican National Commit- tee, introduced a young man by the name of John P. Davis as “an out- standing young ‘Negro’ Republi can.” Why the use of the word “Negro”? According to all that we have learned, Davis proved to the satisfaction of all that he was an outstanding young Republican re- gardless of the fact that he is a “Negro.” Then, too, his complexion made it unnecessary for Mr. Lucas to saddle that very objectionable word, “Negro,” on him. It is high time we should call a halt on this sort of thing. especially when the mistake is made by intelligent and leading members of other races or classes. wi WORRY ABOUT ALL! ‘The U. S. Department of Labor is worrying over the problem of “Ne- gro” labor (says Mr. Arthur Bris- bane, columnist), largely because it has been told that “the economic structure of the entire ‘Negro’ race is in an alarming state of disrepair, because many ‘Negroes’ are crowd- ing into big cities, making bad con- ditions worse.” Indeed! Well, well, WELL! All of-this 1s equally true ot white labor. Its “economic struc- ture” is in equally, if not a worsé “alarming state of disrepair.”” ‘There is, however, harrowing need of not a “little” but a good deal “actual planning to organize industry”, without reference to color or class, thruout this country at this time. Many whites are also “crowding into big cities, waking bad conditions worse.” ‘Therefore, the U, S. Labor De- partment is hardly worrying pat- ticularly. because of ‘the problem of ‘Negro’ labor” but because \of the problem of labor generally, without reference to race, class or group. ‘Why try to make the “Negro” the “goat,” always? aii ‘WARREN G.

If he had lived, one would have re- tired as an ei-tabinet member, and the other as just another. ex-vico president.” And yet it remained for Hoover and Coolidge to place the man, War- yen G. Harding, in @ correct light in the minds of the great majority ofthe people of this country, Ras- cally friends he trusted and placed in important governmental _posi- tions, are responsible for the most uufortumate and incorrect estimate ot President Harding held by peo- ple generally, thruout the country ever since his untimely death. No ether persons than President Hoo- ver and Ex-President Coolidge could correct this wrong impression, and they are entitled to great praise for finally “coming thra” in the man- ner they did in the addresses made at Marion upon the occasion of the dedication of the beautiful Harding Memorial, on Tuesday afternoon of this week.

WOODSON AND HAWKINS. FI our.” Dr, Carter G. Woodson’s timely eriticism of Dr. John R. Hawkins “jim-crow”” Republican National league (so-called), which started from the top to build down rather than from the bottom to build up, has caused the latter to tender his resignation as the president of Woodson’s “Association for the Study of Negro Life and History” and “asa member of the executive committee of the same.” Hawkins and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who is as- sociated with him in political work In the interest of the Hoover ad- ministration, are the “voteless won- ders” to whom Editor Ben J. Davis of thé Atlanta (Ga.) Independent, and former Republican National Committeeman from Georgia, crit clzed rather caustically while on his Fecent political tour of several sec- tions of the country. All except Davis are Washingtonians and, like him, more dmenable to the Repub- Mean “powers-that-be," meaning of Course the Hoover . administration, than to the vital interests of thetr own race. The amusing part of Dr. Hawkins’ annonncement of the organization of his league, reads as follows: “It was organized by high-class respectable citizens for the purpose of helping to create in the ‘Negro’ greater interest in civic affairs and Securing for him all the. rights, privileges and opportunitias guar- anteed under the constitution, It has consistently lived up to’ this program.” ‘The fact ts, the alleged league was organized primarily for the purpose of boosting the candidacy for renomination and re-election of President Herbert Hoover, and as a result (prime) boosting its two leaders into the “Hoover limelight.” PRIME SPORT NEWS.

He ‘clipped 3-10ths of a second off the old mark held by James Payne, San Bernardino, Cal., set five years ago. The young star also won the 120-yard high hurdles, in 15.3 sec- onds and became the only double winner of the meet. SMOKING OUT LYNCHERS.

(given above) to “Save St. James” calls attention to the fact that many of our chureh organizations thraout the country are experiencing great difficulty, during these days of de- pression, in holding or even prop- erly maintaining large numbers of their very beautiful and exceedingly costly edifices. To a great many people this condition suggests that as a group we have about reached the SATURATION point in the poe- session of church property. In this connection it is interest- ing to note that the value of church property (land, edifices and furni- ture) owned by whites in the United States represents less than SIX per cent of the value of the owned farms operated by them, whereas among our group the ‘value of church property is in excess of thirty-seven per cent of the value of ourowned. farms. In Ohio, for instance, our church property is valued at $9,118,989 (not including Wilberforce) while our owned” farm-property has a Valoé=‘of only $4,178,184. or lees By RING LARDNER than one-half the value of our edi- fices. Nearly ten million dollars are invested in what is frequently re- ferred to as FROZEN ASSETS while there is probably not @ business en- terprise in the state, owned by members of our group, in which fifty of our young or old men and women are employed. Church property is compared with farm property for the reason that everything we eat, drink or wear comes from the earth, a fact that is recognized by» the whites who seem to think that they must eat with some degree of regularity even before they can finance and build chureh edifices, Agriculturaily,~Ohio 1s an tmpor- tant state, ranking in eighth place in the highest number of farms; in ninth place in the value of land and buildings, and occupies the tenth highest tank in the value of its crops. It becomes difficult, there fore, to establish an alibi that Ohio is not an agricultural state, Charles E.

Our population in Cleveland increased from 34,451 in 1920 to 71,899 in 1930, according to the 1920 U. S. census migration.

(By E. E. DUFFY) Motorists of today are covering two-thirds more distance in a year than they did a decade ago. The United States Department of Agriculture recently announced that in 1980 the total usage of gasoline increased $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent over that of 1920, even though there were only a few more cars. Average of Travel. In 1930, the average consumption of gasoline per vehicle was 555 gallons as compared with 558 gallons in 1929. Estimating that the average car travels 15 miles per gallon, motorists in 1930 averaged 8,340 miles of travel. Ten years ago motorists averaged little more than 5,000 miles yearly. This sharpened appetite for travel has come about through improved roads, which motorists themselves have paid for through vehicle license fees and gasoline tax. Although road incomes are augmented from other sources, funds contributed directly by motorists have been largely responsible for the construction of continuous, interlocking highways which allow the motorist to cover lengthy mileages at will. Last year the net revenue from the gasoline tax was $494,683,000. The average gasoline tax rate was 3.35 cents per gallon. Road builders consider this a bargain price to pay for motoring facilities because of the lowered cost of operating automobiles. License Fee Automobile license fees the country over averaged $13.41 annually and this added to the average gasoline tax payment of $18.62 brings the total to $32.08. The average motor car owner can figure out for himself what he gets for his motor tax expenditures. According to the widely accepted Iowa State college figures, hard surfaced pavements save more than two cents a mile in car operating costs over dirt roads, and at least one cent a mile in car operating costs over roads of intermediate types. The motorists, therefore, who in 1950 drove 8,340 miles over concrete rather than over intermediate type roads saved $33.40, or more than $50 over his motor tax outlay. Gas tax income is being widely used for road bonding purposes. Bond issues financed by gasoline tax income impose no additional burden on the motorist and at the same time they permit immediate construction of needed highway improvements. Green Light No Excuse for Reckless Cab Driver While courts hearing traffic accident cases generally hold in high regard evidence that the car owner was driving in compliance with traffic signals, the Illinois Supreme court, in a recent decision ruled that such proof does not always absolve drivers. A recent case was that of Conway vs. a taxicab company. Conway, a Chicagoan, was crossing Michigan avenue at Van Buren street, when he was struck by a taxicab which was proceeding at about 30 miles per hour in the face of a green light. He won his damage suit in the lower court. The case was appealed to the Supreme court, which held in part: "Even if a green traffic light is shown a driver of an automobile is not thereby relieved of care and caution in driving. A green light is not an invitation to close his eyes to pedestrians, nor is it a permission to proceed regardless of circumstances. The jury could reasonably have concluded here that the driver of the cab was guilty of such reckless driving as would amount to wanton and wilful infliction of the injury." Motorists Are Advised to Follow Three "C's" If motorists will follow the three "C's"—which stand for co-operation, courtesy and caution—driving would be greatly improved and become a real pleasure, according to E. Austin Baughman, Maryland motor vehicle commissioner. "These, in turn, can be summed up by the words 'Drive safely,'" he said. "There recently has been conducted a courtesy drive among the automobile operators of Maryland. Many persons have signed pledges to be at all times courteous in their dealings with other users of the highways, both drivers of other cars and pedestrians. If the thousands of persons who pledged themselves to be courteous will keep their pledge the coming months of greatly increased motor traffic are going to show a marked improvement over previous spring and summer driving conditions. There are going to be less accidents, fewer injuries and greater enjoyment of the highways by all of their users. "If 'The Call of the Open Road' is linked with the 'Rules of the Road' and the latter are strictly observed by everyone, the enjoyment of touring will be greatly increased and the distressing toll of accidents and sorrow will be correspondingly decreased."

Providence and the other driver take care of the side-street nut who swoops into the stop thoroughfare without so much as a pause. There may be faculty changes in the school of experience from time to time, but the professor in charge of grade-crossing affairs remains on the job. Bear in mind that the driver of the car behind may not always be able to see your hand signal—especially if your car is turned somewhat to the right. Automobiles sold on time payment plans during the first eight months of 1930 were valued at $22,969,519. The value for the same period of 1920 was $1,183,704,810. The center of population usually seems to be at the street intersection where the traffic officer has just asked you if you don't know how to drive a car. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1931 SMART-LOOKING STURDY WEAVES FOR WELL-BRED SPORTS CLOTHES JOEL FEDER 23 SUMMER fashions particularly stress the fact that it is the sturdy, firm and washable weaves which are accounted good-looking for sports wear, this season. Fabricists, being fashionwise, have therefore made it a point to produce unusually handsome and novel piques, heavy twill effects, smart spongy and tweedy textiles which tub perfectly and one of the newest and most attractive ideas is that of washable satin jersey, either in white or colors. A generous use of pearl buttons, slides and buckles is also a characteristic feature of the summer sports mode. These are employed in a very decorative way, sometimes whole rows of them bordering little jackets as well as sleeve and necklines. With the white and light outing costumes a dash and splash of color is imperative. It would never do to forget the scarf in vivid plaid, or striped or in modish tricolor. In fact, accessories are supposed to be startingly colorful. The costume in the picture answers the role call for all the highspots mentioned. The whipped twill of bemberg which fashions this youthful jacket suit is typical of the stunning new weaves which are as smart-looking as they are practical. For sports spectator wear and when it comes to withstanding the wear and tear of tennis game or golf, these whipped twill materials in white or any of the pastel colors, are ideal. Two gleaming ocean pearl buckles are the only ornamentation so far as JOEL FEDEM AVERY important member of fashion's clientele is the little girl who goes to one party after another. In this fortunate class, designers of juvenile styles take a special interest, for, of course, tots who are "in society" must have many, many pretty frocks to wear. To doting mothers who seek to question the oracles of fashion that be, in behalf of their wee daughters as to "what to wear" to the next party, comes the answer from Paris and other style centers that 'georgette and other sheer weaves of like character the trimming on this two-piece costume is concerned, the required high-color note being achieved in the gay plaid scarf and the wide-brimmed hat of novelty rough straw. There is a well-bred, well-made look about this season's outing clothes which is most commendable. In their smart tailoring much attention is lavished on details such as the flare of the skirt which is accomplished with subtle pleats or gores, fine tucks and intricate seaming. Clever yokes, the collar necklines, huge reverses, novel sleeves, waistcoats and vestees, play an important part. As to the hundreds of buttons which are being lavished on sports apparel, they are making a new appeal in that they are not only in the natural fridescent tones and tints of the sea, but they have become gaily colorful—bright red pearl buttons, for instance, trimming a white pique dress which is topped with a red flannel or crepe jacket, or skimmer blue buttons adorning suit or one piece frock of shantung in a matching blue. The same is true in regard to the fancy pearl slides and beckles which are particularly in demand because of the importance of belts in the mode. Scarcely a dress, a jacket or a coat but what is belted this season. Exquisite coloring is made a feature of these fancy pearl fastenings which enhance sports costumes and smart negligences as well as more formal modes. CHERIE NICHOLAS. © 1921, Western Newspaper Union. STEL COLORINGS IT'S PARTY FROCKS are at present disputing the supremacy of taffeta which has been and still is very popular for little girls' party frocks. One point on which all designers of children's apparel agree is that there is no limit to the amount of decorative handwork which will be lavished on summer clothes for the younger generation. The material itself may be very inexpensive, such as, for instance, the dainty pale green georgette of bemberg which fashions the cunning gown pictured, but the fact of it being handmade and exquisitely embroidered gives it an enviable air of distinction. An effective touch is added to this dainty dress in that it is trimmed with net in matching light green, the same cleverly worked in insets which serve as a background for clusters of wee pink rosebuds which are hand embroidered. This matter of trimming the dainty bemberg volles and georgettes which come in fascinating monotone pastels with matching net is well worth copying. The combination achieves that extreme sheerness which is so much to be desired this season, since the mode is making a feature of airy light effects. Lots of net footing, too, is being frilled on little folks' dresses. It is really a very practical trimming, as it not only wears well but retains its prettiness since after ironing it can be pulled gently into perfect shape. CHERIE NICHOLAS. (© 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) py of The aintance w COLOR-LINE SEGREGATION IN HOSPITALS AND Y. M. C. A.'s HERE IN THE NORTH. DENOUNCED! Urge "Jim Crow Ys." (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 negotiation 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 here and 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 known physician, Dr. Peter F. Ghee 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, studiousness and good sense, he has been one of 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 have been hired to work in these hospitals. Our people have been made the stalking way for our unprepared physicians to do their butchering. It may be concluded that, when one hears a loud noise about establishing some particular place for some colored professional staff, there is in the back-background incompetence, selfishness and graft. Our physicians can be as well equipped as any other physician, if they would only take time and money and prepare themselves. There are many of our men yelling for "race hospitals," "jim-crow Y's," etc., because they are not prepared to pay their trade or enter "Y's" among men standing in front of them. The day of "race accommodations," 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 Gaiety in Cottons Mary By EMMA LOU FETTA "WHAT could be in better taste than crisp, fresh, tennis frocks, and well tailored golf frocks?" questions Miss Kathryn Day. New York fashionist, who tells those people who feel cotton's present high fashion acceptance is only a whim, to turn their attention to the great variety of present day cotton fabrics which are essentially "very right" material for the type of frocks in which they are used. "Cotton," says Miss Day, "is having a tremendous vogue but this is not to be just a 1931 vogue. The lovely dureen cote muses, broadcloths, nets, laces and embroideries—for example—appearing in country, town and evening clothes this year will be just as smart in the new fashions next year. This is because they are appropriate. These softly sparkling, and infinitely becoming materials are perfect and excellent to hand and excellent styling and handling by their designers and manufacturers. In this country, and in France, too, it has at last been definitely discovered that cotton is not simply a summer material but a thing of beauty and a joy throughout the year." qualification our men in every walk of life must take their places along side of prepared men and not only colored men. Perhaps the "Negro" ministry is a great feature in this particular. Too many ignorant, flamboyant and loud-mouthed colored men are preaching, today, having only a stentorian voice as their principle 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 them to consentious education is being made by our ministry to uplift and refine our churches. Men are preaching who cannot use correct English and many of them are not third grade 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! For Building a "Chinese Wall" of "Separation, Discrimination and Segregation" Nationally—Plain Unvarnished Truth. Madison, New Jersey. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Kind Sir:—I know you are a 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 that is the operating name) in erecting and maintaining schools and M. C. A. buildings, exclusive of "Negro" was imitated for 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 13:34; Matt. 20: 8-10:12-14. (b) The cornerstone of Christianism is an equal opportunity for all men in fields of endeavor, without partiality prejudice or hypocrisy!$^{1}$—2 Cor. 8:14, 15. (c) The platform of the Christian religion—"God is our father; Christ our Redeemer; the Holy Ghost our comforter; and all, we are beheaded!$^{1}$ Gal. 3:26; 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? (3) Does he not see ultimately (if his system becomes a success) the created national, racial, religious and cultural "Chinese wall" or separation, discrimination and segregation that will be erected and forced (in a spiteful spirit) by both peoples of our American civilization?—Gal. 6:7. Respectfully submitted, Rev. Geo. Wilson Brent, Madison, N. J. SOME CENSUS FACTS According to the latest U. S. census reports, there were 71,899 of our people in Cleveland, last year; 24,663 males of voting age, and 23,290 females of voting age, making our total voting strength in Cleveland 47,953. The real truth is that there are really over fifty thousand Afro-American voters in Cleveland, for the very good reason that many are overlooked while others are of such light-complexion that they are registered as "white." The figures in the foregoing are official—come from "Uncle Sam," and are not merely the say-of so During our several candidacies for governor of Ohio in recent years, we frequently called attention to the fact that our people had enough votes in this state to nominate one of their number for a state office without the assistance of votes from others. Now comes "Uncle Sam" his last name, and he announces 105,736 male Afro-American voters and 93,555 female Afro-American voters, making a total of 199,291 in the state of Ohio. Had these votes, or a goodly majority of them, ever been cast for any of our office we would have been triumphantly nominated because each candidacy was thousands upon thousands of white voters thrust the state of Ohio. The total Afro-American population of the state of Ohio is 399,394, according to the latest census reports (1930), 159,128 of these being males and 150,176, females. As a matter of fact, for reasons stated before, foregoing, a clearly within our rights to claim a total population in the state of Ohio of (Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd. three hundred and twenty-five thousand, for there are easily sixteen thousand light-complexioned (registered as white) and other Afro-Americans, overlooked by the census-takers. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! About 3000 good jobs will be made at the stadium for the big Schmelling-Stribling prize fight, One-fifth (or 600) of this number ought to be ours. Will we get them? Get busy and see your councilman. They can place you—if they will. The Church should be of the highest type of institution in order that all people can look to with pride to build up a civilized christian nation, members of which will not steal, rob, murder, graff, policy-play, beat board and room rent and groove bills. Some rascals are members of our churches and should be weeded out at once. The preacher who has backbone enough to "after them" as he should be a success! If he is a coward, he should step down and out, and join the other crowd. A number of our people have been unduly alarmed for the past two weeks as a result of false rumors as to the discharge of Afro-American employees of The May Company. In the first place there has been no "wholesale" discharge of our employees of that company, as rumored. All of the elevator girls, except a few, were given places in the stock-room of the company. That gave rise to rumors referred to. Several of the girls who were "let out" temporarily, have been re-employed within the week and the assurance given that all would be soon. The May Co. gives steady employment to about fifty of our men and girls which is appreciated. Scanning the columns of the Plain Dealer, the other day, The Rounder noticed the following in Lois Leeds' department, under the heading, "White Frocks Necessitate White Necks." "Summer brings an enthusiastic return to light colors for milady's clothes and as usual, the off-shades of white are prime favorites. Whites with a warm tinge of cream, tan or pink in them and other whites with a cool green, violet or blush suggestion are being used for costumes gossamer fine in allover laces of gossamer fine in allover laces and summer woolens. The vogue for white makes it all the more important to have a clear complexion and a white throat. Necks, of course, are naturally different in texture and slightly darker in color than faces, but they must be kept as fair and smooth as possible when light colored clothes are worn. Salts look dingier when frocks or white dresses are worn. What a "mouthful" of colorful" consolation Sister Leeds is giving about 90% of our women all of whom will, of course, want to wear white, this summer, and will, too! CHARACTER Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty-eight years The Gazette, under its present management, has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser.

It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
