"BURNS UP" HOPKINS! Dr. Walz Gives "Inside Dope" on the Dr. Walz Gives "Inside Dope" on the "Color-Line" City Manager's Regime—Interesting Facts. The campaign against the election of former City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins to the City Council in the Second District got under way, Tuesday night, with a rally, at 8802 Buckeye Road, under the auspices of the East Side Hungarian Republic councilman F. W. Walz told the "institute" to deal. He postponed speaking about Hopkins until he had told what is wrong with the country and how to overcome the depression. "Hopkins seldom ever tells the truth," Walz said. "How can a man who was hired as office for neglect and malfassance ask you to put him back in office." E.W. WALZ Dr. Walz charged that Hopkins had compelled "poor little John Marshall" (mayor) to take a back seat; that Hopkins' activities in promoting the Belt Line Railroad were a "holdup"; that the Payne Ave. police station site was purchased for $350,000 because Ed Kendall was handling the den; that Stroop was commissioning of $47,500 for selling Gordon Gardens to the city; that Hopkins persuaded the Council to buy land in front of Wade Park Manor for the benefit of the hotel people; that land was purchased by the city for the opening of Fleet Ave. at a price $18,000 above the Cleveland Real Estate Board's appraisal of the lake front; that the lake front to the railroads and almost had a first flight with former Law Director Carl F. Shuler because Shuler held the city could not surrender any of its lake front rights; that Hopkins approved the purchase of the Colt-St. Clair playground, as a result of which former Councilman Liston G. Schooley went to the penitentiary, and that Hopkins had pointed out that Hopkins that the rates were too high. Councilman Alfred C. Jones, who hesitated long before he voted to oust Hopkins, declared Dr. Walz was one of the most conscientious, serviceable and honest men in hite Council. Jones and Hopkins are Welsh Americans. George W. Sepessy, a member of the Republican executive committee, did not mention Hopkins by name, either, but he asked whether the people wanted to elect a man who would be a good leader, but the oldest Hungarian and German newspapers in the city so that he could write newspaper editorials that wouldn't be censored. SEPTEMBER 19.1931. SUPT. R. C. BUNDY IS VERY ILL AGAIN! Given Additional Assistance—Business Manager Jenkins' Report to the Board of Trustees. Wilberforce, O.—Due to the continued illness of Supt. Richard C. Bundy, of the State (C. N. & I.) Department of the university, and the advisability of adjusting certain of its affairs for the opening of school, Monday, the trustee board of the Supt. R. C. Bundy. State Department held a meeting, last week Friday. C. C. Jenkins, business manager of the department, made a report of money spent for repairs, during the summer, to accommodate the increased enrollment of new students. Supt. Bundy's illness was carefully considered and after having two physicians report on his condition, the board appointed James Newsome, a State Department instructor, to relieve Bundy of a portion of the education work. Hallel Q. Brown, well-known reader and public speaker, who has been quite ill ever since returning from a trip in the East, recently, is convalescent. CLARK vs. FINKLE! What the Former Has to Say in Explaining the Inducacy "A Hopkins Map" The political meeting at Revelation Baptist church, E. 75th St. and Kinsman Rd., Monday evening, was promoted by the Hon. Perry B. Jackson, and Councilmen George Payne and Bundy ("The Blossom Triplets"), with whom he is training, it seems, for the purpose of introducing the candidacy for the council of Arthur C. Clark of the 25th Street. There were several smokers in addition to Clark and Clark who said he had lived Cleveland 16 years, complained of the lack of recognition of Cleveland's 75,000 Afro-Americans in the various city departments, mentioning the eleven "Negro" policemen and saying that if he were elected to the council he would get 100 more, and two fire companies ("jim-crow") Amusing! His statement that there were more "Negroes" in town than in Philadelphia is not correct. Alan said he was with Mr. Hopkins and opposed the "controlling power" which means the controlling organization, and said he was running as an "independent" candidate against Councilman Herman Finkle whom he said "has remained on the throne (political) too long, and lives off the fat of the land"; also that "Negroes" should refuse to accept "the spoiled meats, rotten fruits and vegetables given at Christmas time by Finkle, and therefore proper share good appointments (in part) and the fact that he "agrees with Mr. Hopkins" undoubtedly settles the question of Clark's candidacy. He is thru before he gets started good. Just how any loyal member of the race can espouse the cause of Hopkins, who for four or more long years steadfastly refused to open the City Hospital for the training of our interns trained girls who desired to become criminals is something we cannot understand. A positive incentive to local taxes asked him by a woman (white) in the audience, "Brother" Clark dodged with the statement that his "time was too short." As a matter of fact, it had been entirely too long. Boss Murders a Cook's Husband. Pine Bluff, Ark. (Crusader News Agency) — Not satisfied with the tasty cooking of Viola Payne, Elmer Herring (white), her boss, in- pendent upon other workers. Herring is a well known local business man. When Clyde Payne, husband of Viola, objected to Herring's insults to his wife, an alteration arose. Herring secured a shot gun and fired point blank into Payne's breast, killing him instantly. The authorities have made no arrests. Miss Loula S. Jones of Drexel Ave., quite ill recently, is convalescing.

Gov. Charles E. Hughes was elected after the Lexx investigation and the insurance scandal expose had proved the state and city to be in the vise of both graft and moral corruption, of both graft and moral corruption, of efficiency that by his own indication colored New York was excluded from consideration and patronage. John Purrro Mitchell was elected mayor a few years later on another tidal wave of reform. Just like his Republican predecessor, the independent Democratic mayor could see no colored citizen officially for protection of this exclusive, holter-than thou attitude on the part of reformers and reform government that colored New Yorkers have been drifting wholesale into Tammany. It has been because Tammany Hall has thrown a few crumbs in the way of appointments and privileges to them that they have been deluded into politically the brotherhood of men. Toward all efforts of those who would 'clean up the city' they have come to the mental attitude: "What care I how fair she be" "Yet Harlem has paid a terrible price for the paltry recognition and saluting privileges recorded by Tammany Hall. The community has been made the paradise for the racketeer. The privileges apparently intended for the purpose of protesting color voters have been gobblethed outside the community. MARINE BAND SOLOISTS. The famous Marine band, which has played at all great government occasions for the past 130 years, will give two concerts in the Sta- p. m. m. and an evening concert at 8 p. m. The celebrated Capt. Taylor Winfred Kemp. Branson is its leader, Winfred Kemp is the cornet solist, and Wilbur D. Kieffer, xylophone solist. A “brand” new auto is to be given to the man or woman selling the most tickets to the two concerts and a free trip to Washington, D. C. to the school boy and school girl (with chaperons) who sells the greatest number of tickets. The trips will be by “The Cheekland Daily Press”. General admission to either of the concerts will be 25c. Don't miss these treats! Hundreds of persons are daily getting their tickets (to sell in the contest) at Parlor E, Hotel Hollendent, concert headquarters. “Greatest Defender of Our Rights!” Kendleton, Tex., Sept. 8, '31.

Harlem's hosts of hard-working God-tearing, respectable parents look prayerful to the Seabury investigation for relief. They hope that Harlem can be reclaimed as a fit place in which to live and rear their children. They are watchfully waiting, too, to see if this movement does not follow the Hughes and Mitchell administration. They want a government in which to represent equal representation in offices, appointments and in the civil service. Under it they want a square employment deal by the public utilities; under it they want an equal opportunity to compete in industry and commerce in proportion to their numbers and fitness. They welcome a revision of the city charter, the clean-up of the city, but they want these reforms for their benefit, too, and not at their sacrifices.

Appellate Judge Manuel Levine was elected chief justice of the Ohio Court of Appeals, Tuesday, at the annual meeting in Columbus of the members of the appellate bench. He succeeds Francis M.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 19, 1931. Wasn't it City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins who called "the southern Negroes, who came to the city in 1917 and since, "a menace to the community"? Then someone should resurrect what he said to George Bender and about his group or class of people. It would make interesting reading these campaign days, and especially for the foreign element in the second councilman district. It ran something like this, if memory serves us correctly: Hopkins said that Bender's ancestors were roaming the fields of Hungary while his were here in this country if not in Cleveland—out in "Newburgh" (in the second district). It is rumored that one of our nurse-students at City Hospital (Miss Lane) is about to be disqualified in her training because she was ill for three days. She is one of the ranking students, standing second in her class. The superintendent of nurses has also made several complaints against her on the basis of personality because she does not accept this student's independent attitude, feeling this gives her better grounds upon which to disqualify Miss Lane as being "physically unfit" to be a nurse, it is said. This case, too, has been called to the attention of our local councilmen, "The Blossom Triplets", who have done absolutely nothing toward making secure this girl's opportunity to train at the City Hospital. --- Candidate for the City Council, Arthur Clark, who is attempting the impossible, that is trying to defeat Councilman Herman Finkle of the 12th Ward, may prove a boomerang to Payne and Bundy, Councilmen of the third district. He said, according to local papers, in his opening meeting of the campaign, Monday night, that if he was elected he would see that "Negroes were appointed to the police and fire departments." In building up his campaign, he is "showing up" the inefficiency, failures and short-comings of the three present Councilmen, George Payne and Bundy, "The Blossom Triplets." A Brutus in the campaign! "The Triplets" are among, those who urged Clark to run against Finkle in the 12th Ward. Clark would have a chance, running against Payne, Bundy or George because all three are going to be badly defeated in November. Two chief municipal court clerks are to have their salaries raised $500, a year if Councilman Larry Payne's resolution, introduced in City Council, the first of the week, is adopted. The two clerks are receiving from three to $4,000 a year now. Payne's resolution would increase their salaries to $4,500. This in the face of the fact that there are several of our clerks and other employees at the City Hall who are far more entitled to raises in pay or salaries than the two chief municipal court clerks (Democrats), "The Blossom Triplet" Payne is seeking raises for. His action in this matter is just about as funny as Secretary Jane Hunter's praise of "The Blossom Triplets" at a recent meeting of the 19th Ward Republican club, and Alex O. Taylor's statement in a Chicago paper that "The Blossom Triplets" were entitled to "unstinted praise" for the appointment of our representative in the clerical force of the city treasurer. Very, very funny indeed. O'Neal Mitchell, case-worker, supervisor for A. C., who has been connected with the Wilson branch, E. 55th St. and Woodland Ave., for several years, was recently transferred to Wayfarers' lodge to work among indigent men. It is rumored that he was not so pleased with the change but realized that to resent it would probably bring on trouble from "higher-ups". He was succeeded by Constance Fisher, former ly with A. C., but who has been on leave of absence, studying in N. Y. City. It is that by many that Mr. Mitchell was removed purely because he was next in rank for district supervisor, based on experienced-training and length of service. It is quite true that even supposed-to-be fair-minded white people do not want whites working under the instruction and supervision of our competent and well-trained. And our councilmen are doing absolutely nothing (as usual) to help get Mr. Mitchell justice and right—that district supervisorship. WALZ "SKINS" HOPKINS. Dr. F. W. Walz, independent Democratic member of the council from the west side of the city, was the Republican coroner of this county, some thirty years ago. He is the peoples' representative in this more or less august body—able, honest, thor, loyal, and a firm friend of our people as well as all others. He has been the champion of the Municipal Lighting plant, and really its "daddy," ever since he has been a member of the council. Dr. Walz is a "square-shooter," a good talker and fearless, and "loves" former City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins just like the devil is supposed to love holy water. Indeed, it was the Doctor's vote in the City Council, early last year, that enabled the local Republican organization to "bounce" Hopkins out of the city management and install as his successor the present city manager, Daniel "Blossom" Morgan. While one of his periodic visits to The Gazette sanctum, last week, Dr. Walz informed the editor of "The Old Religable" that he was "all dressed up and ready to go" into the second district's councilmanic campaign for the express purpose of "skinning," politically, one Wm. R. Hopkins, a candidate for membership in the City Council from that district, the militant Doctor was one of the speakers at the rally of the East Side Hungarian Republican club in Buckeye Rd., his subject being "Mr. Hopkins and the 'Muny' Light Plant." Wednesday morning, all reports from that meeting indicated beyond all question or doubt that Councilman Walz, as usual, had done a first-class job, something he promised to continue thrust the campaign. The fact that he received an anonymous postal-card, Monday, threatening him should he evade "Newburgh," supposedly Hopkins's strong-hold in the second district, only made him more determined to give the ex-city manager another "bump" that will not only open his eyes but those of the community to the real Wm. R. Hopkins. More power to Councilman Walz. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! It is said that the participants in the Inter-Collegiate club's picnic at Garfield park, on a recent Sunday, were also denied the use of the public pool therein. Ask "The Blossom Triplets" why? Since the Central Ave. cars have been shifted from the market, Woodland transfers to it should be accepted at E. 4th St. and Prospect Ave. Why make Central Ave. carriders, who wish to market, walk from the Central market to Prospect Ave? The railway company loses each time one goes to market, unless the person purchases another ticket. The passenger is out two tickets and a transfer penny to get to the market and back home, as the matter now stands. A friend who brot The Rounder, Monday, a transfer from a Woodland Ave. car to a Central Ave. car, would not pay for another ticket after the Central Ave. car except the transfer. How about the continuous ride with a ticket and a transfer? Eugene Brown, president of the 12th Ward Civic & Political club, which he says was organized to defeat Councilman Herman Finkle, has a place of business in that ward, which is patronized almost wholly by constituents and friends of Finkle. Looks like he is applying suicidal principles to his business during these Herman Prosper-similar weeks the will be held and lead the Republican ticket in the third councilmanic district. Mark our predication! It would be interesting to some people to know just how many real members the 12th Ward Civic and Political "league" (on paper) has. Councilman Herman Finkle had absolutely nothing to do with the recent dismissal of the large number of our employees because they wouldn't contribute to the campaign funds of "The Blossom Triplets", particularly Payne and Bundy. Somebody should tell this to the president of that mythical 12th ward organization. There was not a single member of the race among the **ifty** new policemen appointed, several months ago.

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 mo-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, like 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. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a motive for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "terrorism". Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representative shall at the same time like right of action as one purposely intended to be killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include in such recovery the loss of action, in the next succeeding taxation, such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. if the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or abducted by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob catches unless there was a subjection on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) 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, to all citizens, to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. In the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more Well, Al, I seem to be the original tough guy of the world lately. I ain't had a good break since I left the circus. I and the Mrs. ain't spoke a word for a couple of days and we are saying less to one another every time I see her, which ain't so often now. And that run, Sampson, don't pay no attention at all to me. He is supposed to be managing me besides the Kid and I ain't going to wait no longer for that guy to get me a match. I'm going down to see Rickard in a couple days and try and get into those illumination matches. If he gives me a chance, I'll show them guys something they ain't seen in a long time. Our mor-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 Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a person for the purpose of this chapter. An set of violences by the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2). Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3). Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, misses or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the inculpation therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeded part of the thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 12 5. 1) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such injury occurred, a sum not to the degree of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and dy are responsible for that. When the Supreme Liberty Life Ins. Co.'s outing was being held at Garfield park a number of their party were chased out of the pool! What did "The Blossoms Triplets" (George, Payne and Bundy) do about it? Now comes Roy Bundy with a council-resolution trying to help the Cleveland Baseball Co. which steadfastly refused to hire one of Bundy's race as a baseball player, and they had a Jewish member of last year's team. Then, too, Bundy and Payne are mighty busy, these days, encouraging candidacy and running for the board; 10 run against Councilman Herman Finkle, Republican floor-leader of Cleveland's legislative body. They feel sure of their own defeat and are attempting the impossible—the defeat of Finkle. "The Triplets" are nothing, if not amusing. Out in the 3rd councilmanic district, especially in ward 11, the present place of residence of Dr. Edward J. Gregg, ex-councillor, it is being assiduously circulated that Payne and Bundy have induced Gregg to not enter the councilmanic race, this fall, promising in return to make him an assistant health officer. Payne said, the other day, that the Doctor has agreed to this proposition. He is agreeing that no same person ought to be misled by it. Its only parallel, if memory serves The Rounder correctly, is the promise that Geo H. Bender is alleged to have made Councilman Bundy, early in January of last year, and that was to appoint Bundy director of public safety, the position now held by Edwin D. Barry, in event of his (Bender's) election as city manager. You will recall that Bender really only had one vote, and that was Bundy's for a littered case, was several months after Bundy issued his now notorious public threat to run Maurice Maschke, leader of the local Republican organization, out of the 17th ward if he came to make a political speech.

Dr. Caldwell studied constipation for over forty-seven years. This experience enabled him to make his prescription just what men, women, old people and children need to make their bowels help themselves. Its perfectly natural, mild, thorough action and its pleasant taste commend it to everyone. That’s why “Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin” is the most popular laxative drugstores sell. PAINS!

But in Seville, now seintillating, now sleepy, is discovered a Spain not of the drowsing past, nor yet of the bustling present; it is an indiscriminate mingling of both. Abiding through the centuries here on sun-swept slopes, the city has built for itself a dwelling place of traditions; but they are not a high wall hedging it about. Seville takes pride in her glorious past, treasures it, becomes frankly arrogant about it at times; but her chief love is life and the living of it. Her lichen-covered churches she holds inviolate. Not one cobweb may be removed, nor a single crumbling block of hand-hewed stone be remortared; but, across a well-paved avenue, a steel-fabricated office building must incorporate every convenience of the modern builder's art. Laden donkeys may, and do, wander willy-nilly through every downtown thoroughfare, but the driver of a limousine must keep his eyes open for "one-way street" signs and his ears alert for the traffic officer's whistle. Seville's history is as colorful as one of the silken shawls that drape the shoulders of her dark-eyed senoritas, as varied as the moods of her people, as interesting as any story may well be that depicts the romance of a town which has lived through the rise, glory, and decay of half a dozen nations. The city's actual genesis is lost, hidden by the obscuring vell which shrouds much of the remote past of the Mediterranean, and which was only slightly torn aside by the adventuring Phoenicians, and later by the warrior-merchants of Carthage. But there was a Roman Seville. Of that ancient period definite traces remain. Some of the crumbling walls of the city were built under the direction of the Caesars. The Visigoths, following the fall of Rome's western empire, lingered for a brief three centuries in Seville. The Jews, too, from behind Byzantium came here to have their home, rose to positions of power, endured grievous persecution, passed but left carved memories of their stay. Likewise the gypsies came here, and here they yet remain, crowded together in noisy little and big families in Triana, the ragged suburb of Seville, across the Guadalquivir. Finally, the Moors possessed Seville. One must say finally because the city remains today something of a Moorish town, Saint Ferdinand brought it within the Christian fold some seven centuries ago; but all his might could not wipe out the Orient. The picturesque Santa Cruz district of Seville, with its narrow, crooked streets and flat-roofed, companionable houses, has changed very little in the last thousand years. The city's famous and equally beloved Giralda is today much the same as when a Moorish architect completed it, in 1196, and the white-robed followers of Mohammed used it as a minaret from which to call the faithful to prayer But Seville dwells not overmuch in reminiscences. She reverses her heroes of olden time, but it is the heroes of today that occupy her thoughts and newspapers. Annually she devotes many holidays in obeisance before ancient glories, but the days before and after are spent in widening her narrow streets to accommodate a rapidly increasing motor traffic and in building steel and concrete office buildings wherein to house her ever-expanding commercial enterprises. She points with pride to where the caravels of the New world's conquerors anchored in the Guadalquivir river, but barely a stone's throw away electric cranes strive the day long with vast cargoes to and from the earth's four corners. Alcazar, the old Moorish palace rebuilt to house the splendor of the courts of Andalusian kings, remains much the same as it was seven centuries ago; but immediately across the street the new Alfonso XII hotel transplants one straightway to the luxury of up-to-date Paris, or London or New York. Those fortunate individuals who come to southern Spain armed with Gypsies Still There. letters of introduction to high officials and wealthy families go away with glowing accounts of the sumptuousness of life, of the lavish hospitality accorded visitors, and of the very modern manner of living in this only superficially modernized city. Other earnest seekers after local color who visit Seville and, in their desire to know their Spain, live among the Sevillanos, endure the inconveniences of modest Spanish homes, spend long hours in crowded cafes to engage in endless discussions with the ever-talkative habitues, attend frequent festivals and bullfights. These folk carry away a vivid, glowing picture of a Seville en fiesta—colorful, rather noisy, highly picturesque. Average Income Is Puny. Only in rare instances does the foreigner come to know the true home life of the Sevillano. There is not much money per capita in Seville these days. To be sure, certain of the city's families are immensely wealthy and live in the style of oriental potentates and occidental platores, while foreign residents are forced, for appearances' sake, to struggle along at a similar pace. But such folk are a statistical handful. Fully three-fourths of the town's population lives and has its being and is wholly happy on an income of around a dollar a day per person. In many cases this income must cover the needs of an entire family, and some of Seville's families need much. But somehow there is always enough left over for the menfolk to afford a few hours each evening with convivial friends in a favorite coffee shop, and to secure a seat "in the sun" at the Sunday bullfight; and for the numerous children to purchase penny sweets, as occasion demands, from the howling huckster who passes the door each morning, accompanied by a congenial donkey laden with sticky lusciousness; and for the women of the family to have a new imitation tortoise-shell comb, a cobwebly lace mantilla, and a holeless pair of silk stockings—this last because the weaving of silk hosely has in recent years become one of Spain's leading manufacturing industries. The people of Seville blend past and present in their dress and in many of their customs. The high Spanish comb and lace mantilla of olden times are still worn here, perhaps more generally than in any other city of Spain. But the comb is more often than not perched precariously in modernly bobbed hair, while the mantilla covers a beautiful head filled with decided up-to-date feminine thoughts and ideas. Racially, the people owe much to the Moorish residence in southern Spain. Brilliant black and brown eyes and complexions ranging from darkest sepia to the most delicate of creamy textures are strangely reminiscent of long generations of ancestors who dwelt beneath the Sahara sun. Intermingled with this great majority, however, one finds increasingly large percentage of the blue eyes and light hair of more Anglo-Saxon communities. Seville is an industrious city. Many of the city's activities revolve about the production and shipment of pickled olives and various grades of olive oil, for it is the central point of distribution for the richest olive-producing area in the world. There is an ancient local saying that the only genuine queen olives produced on earth are grown within seeing distance of the Giralda tower, the soil and climate of this region being particularly well suited to the full maturing of this class of the fruit. Much of the cork insulation found in our modern electrical refrigerators and many of the cork disks in the metal caps of ginger ale—and other—bottles were shipped from the port of Seville. The world acknowledges no wrongt iron more artistic than that fashioned by the gypsy families of Triana. Seville's industries, however, are not permitted to interfere too radically with her moments of rest and relaxation. Every coffee shop (and there are scores of them in Seville) is a noisy stamping ground, humanity-choked, from early in the afternoon until long after midnight. Indeed, one may pass at any time during the day or night and see gesticulating knots of men crowded about cup-cluttered tables, talking, talking. Olives and Cork. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPT. 19, 1931 WOOLENS FAVORED FOR AUTUMN WEAR Woolens are in a most important place in the fashion picture for the coming season. And justly so, for wool no longer is a term synonymous with a heavy, bulky fabric designed for utility alone. Woolens of 1931 are in many weights and many surfaces, but the best of them, heavy or light, smooth or rough of finish, drape with the perfection which the new mode demands. They are as serviceable as they ever were, and they are beautiful as well, a fact borne in upon us recently when we visited one of the foremost woolen manufacturers of the country, says the New York Herald Tribune. Coat fabrics for women are being woven so closely and thickly that they need no interlinings, which are clumsy things at best, and at the other end of the wool panorama is gossamer woolens which make the woolen evening gown seem an eminently practical and desirable addition to the wardrobe, rather than an extravaganza of the designer's imagination. Women Learn to Make Permanent Waves Behave Permanent waves are still going strong. Every woman concedes that the hard boiled curl is a marvelous and wonderful technique. Methods have improved. Waves are wider. The pressure is completed in less than half the time that was necessary a few years back. Women have learned how to make permanents behave, to moisten them, pet them, pat them into alluring patterns. Brushing doesn't harm them; only makes them crazy for the moment. Combining out straight, applications of brilliantine or hot water together with clever manipulations put them in form again. The Cuban heel is a smart choice for sports or street wear. It isn't like the square heel that was once characterized as Cuban but is gracefully shaped though sturdier than the spike heel. Usually of leather, it ornaments the shoe of calf or alligator. The spectator shoes shoe is frequently seen with this conservative but very smart heel.

(© 1931, Western Newspaper Union.) "THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS" Cleveland, O., Aug. 19, '31. Wendell Phillips Dabney. Editor, "The Union," Cincinnati, I. Dear Conferee:—Your request for a short article on "The Blossom Triplets," Cleveland's Afro-American councilmen, Atty. Clayborian George, Atty. Lawrence O. Payne and D. Leroy N. Bundy, is here with compiled with: Dudley S. Blossom (wnite), director of safety of Cleveland for about six years past, with his then superior officer, City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, arbitrarily refused our internes practice in the Cleveland City hospital and our girls entrance to the school for students at the hospital for other class, or race of people in this city was accorded the rights or privileges mentioned in the foregoing sentence. MIDDLE EAST 469 Lawrence O. Payne. When Rev. Horace C. Bailey, for more than twenty years one of our leading ministers in this community, took his motherless grand-daughter, a graduate of our local public schools, to said Blossom in an effort to secure her admission to the nurse's training school at the City hospital, he was curtly and coarsely told by Director Blossom that "No Negro boy or girl would be allowed to train in the City hospital as long as he was director of public safety." Two years ago this fall when we were struggling to elect Messrs George, Payne and Bundy, Dr. Bailey, night after night from the public rostrums of the third and fourth districts, openly repeated the insulting Blossom statement and demanded the director's ousting as well as that of the then City Manager Wm R. Baldpins. The writer the Blossom Triplets" and all other speakers in the third and fourth councilmanic districts made the same demand. Payne and Bundy reside in the third district and George in the fourth district. They pledged their constituents, night after night during the campaign, to "do all in their power to help oust both Hopkins and Blossom." They were elected on the pledge and early in last year, soon after the ousting of Hopkins, broke their pledge and acquiesced in the reappointment of Wm R. Baldpins S. Blossom, amazing, astonishing and disgusting every loyal member of the race in this community as well as others. As members of Cleveland's City Council, they have failed absolutely to cause the removal of the unfair prejudices, against our people only, in the various city departments. In spite of the fact that their three votes have been the balance of power between the city and the state for more than a year and a half, scores of our young men and women who have won positions in civil service examinations have failed to secure them as a direct result of this failure upon the part of "The Blossom Triplets. Apparently they have been unfairly treated after their own personal interests to do their full duty to their constituents of color and the rest of the people of this community. This letter is already too long and, if not, would surely be so if my time permitted me to enumerate the other score or more failures of the Blossom Triplets against the players who have arraigned against all the players and aggressive members of the race in this community. Payne, George and Bundy will be defeated in November. Two or more Afro-American candidates are opposing each of them. And in January next it will be riddance to "The Blossom Triplets." The editor of "The Union" will recall that it took more than three years to get our internes and student-nurses into the Cleveland City hospital. This was accomplished the first of last year and was the result of a fight lead by "The Gaga Gazette" and the late Geo. A. Murers of this city and Councilman F. W. Walz (dem.) who introduced the resolution in the Cleveland City Council the first of last year, fully opening that institution to our people in common with all others of this community. Yours for the race Harry C. Smith, Editor, "The Gazette" CHARGES LOSS OF CITY JOBS TO BUNDY, PAYNE, GEORGE! Ten-Year Employee and Others Blame Ousters to Their Failure to Pay Into Campaign Funds. (I. L. Kenen, in Cleveland Daily News.) After ten years of employment as auto driver and helper in the municipal garbage department, George Graham, 6521 Scovill Ave., has been dismissed, he charged, because he failed to contribute to campaign funds of the Seventeenth Ward Republican club. Graham named Councilman LeKoy N. Bundy as the man who reminded him of his failure to dig into his pockets for a political contribution. After he was fired, he arranged to have $13 paid over to Councilman Bundy, he said. But he is still looking for his old job. Graham is under civil service and, through Atty. James M. Williams, expects to appeal to the civil service commission for reinstatement. Claims 45 Dismissed. At the time Thomas W. Bird, secretary of the Third District Political and Civic league, charged that the garbage department had dismissed about 45 men during the past month without any apparent reason. All 45 had been replaced by others, he said. He claimed that the upheaval was due to the desire of (two or three colored) councilmen to put on the payroll men whose political inclinations were more satisfactory. As an example Bird cited the case of Warren Fields, 7319 Central Ave., who paid for the plant ever since 1919 and that he was dismissed by Sput. Seth Nickens on June 1 of this year without any reason. "Nickens told these men that he had orders from 'higher-ups' to let them go. Fields is not a civil service employee, but we are going to ask Service Director Rees H. Davis who these 'higher-ups' are," said Bird. Graham said he was dismissed on July 27. Six days before there had been a meeting of the Seventeenth Ward Republican club, an organization dominated by Councilman Bundy. Hyman Mayerson, precinct committeeman, and a Bundy political side, approached him and told him he "wasn't doing right by the party," he said. "He told me that they had asked me to contribute $2 for Christmas funds for 1930 and that I had not done so. So he asked me for $10 for the campaign this year. I told him that I did not have any money now, I was beech day. I asked me to give $2.50 per pay day. I said would do that. But I was fired nine days before pay day." Gives Money to Bundy. "On Tuesday, Aug. 11, a friend and I went to Dr. Bundy's office to find out why I was laid off, and to have me put back to work. "Bundy said I did not pay my dues to the 17th Ward club—$1 to join and 25 cents a month. Bundy said that I owed $10 for the campaign. My friend paid the $13 to Dr. Bundy and Bundy told me he was going to put me to work the following week. I am not on the job yet." Graham said that Supt. Nickens told him that he was a satisfactory employee and that he wanted to keep him on the job but that "high authorities" had ordered the discharge. Graham told of a peculiar system which forced him to try a civil service examination every two years. He said that he always passed the examination and went to work as auto driver. Then, suddenly, he would find himself reduced to helper. Meanwhile, the civil service list would expire, so, in order to regain his civil service standing, he would have to try another examination. OUR FORTY-NINTH YEAR! As stated in our last issue, we should have called attention to the fact on Aug. 22, 1931, that with that issue "The Old Reliable" Gazette entered upon its forty-ninth year of continuous publication, every week on time. Forty-eight years ago, this paper made its first appearance, with the writer at the helm as part-owner, editor and manager. Many years ago, he purchased the interests of the other three members of the company responsible for the business responsibility for the publication of The Gazette has rested upon his shoulders. How successful we have been is a matter of common knowledge the 1 country over, and of personal pride on our part, for The Gazette's accomplishments were and are vitally important, many and varied. They recommend it, too, in the strongest possible manner especially to the loyal of the race wherever they may be. As a direct result of the efforts of The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious "Black Laws" of Ohio were wiped out, and an effective Civil Rights law, and Mob Violence act or Anti-Lynching law enacted by the alliance, all helped to end the war that failed to do all in its power to help, defend and protect our people, not only in Ohio but of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and "turned back" the "jim-crow Negro" who is a more treacherous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than any other enemy of the race. Indeed, "The Old Reliable" Gazette has stood out in the open all of its forty-eight years of life like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never faltering and always determined. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help, demonstrate our people along all lines, encourage our people along all lines, greater and better progress is a matter of general knowledge throughout the country. We refer particularly to its efforts against discrimination, national, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race. Personal and business interests have always been subordinated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's clarion call to Afro-Americans, generally, in season and out, has been to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than all citizens, without reference to class (race) or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the North, we have been and always will be, unalterably opposed to any doctrine of surrender," or any policy of surrender, and so insistially preached in its many and time, by "jim-crow Negro" and "obl prejudiced white masters." The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for, ALL that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, thru all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recommendations for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the past forty-eight years—thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. There is, in one thing we would ask of all our friends, at the time, and that is that they have friends and acquaintances to become scribers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and in this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation. Harry C. Smith, Editor and Owner.

Cotton for Sports NOTHER victory for cotton is described by the Chairman of the Woman's Carolina Golf Association Tournament—Mrs. S. E. Barnwell, who is also secretary of the South-wide "Wear Cotton" Campaign which has headquarters in Gastonia, N. C. Mrs. Barnwell says: "The first all-cotton golf tournament was held at the Ocean Springs Golf Club in Myrtle Beach when the Women's Carolina Golf Championship was decided. On qualifying day when women from all over the two Carolinas teed off, durene cotton sports fabrics were very much in evidence. All ladies qualifying were asked to wear only cotton golf frocks, and all complied with that rule. Francis durene was a spectator, durene 'ric rac' and 'mesh' played the first round in par, but it was thought that before the close of the tournament the mesh will have won the trophy, as unquestionably a 'birdie' in the eyes of all the onlookers as well as all the players."
