If "The Blossom Triplets" (George, Payne and Bundy)'s course in the Blossom matter makes them "an honor to the race" may the good Lord eliminate the word honor and have pity on the members of the race, at least in this community. Election day in November is going to decide how much "honor" can be given to the groo" councilmen have been during last and this year. All three must go and will, too. While we have had three "Negroes" in City Council for the past year and nine months, not one solitary woman of color has been placed on the pay roll at city hall. Among the hundreds of women employed there, from scrub women up, are represented every race in the city, but ours. And "The Blossom Triplets" are asking for our women's votes. Not a policeman did "The Negroes" point, 50 women pointed, some months ago. And our men have no right to blame anyone else but them. Vote George, Payne and Bundy out of the City Council in November and in their places put "new blood"; Atty. Pridgen and others. On the suggestion of W. Burr Gongwer, head of the local Democratic organization, Assist. County Prosecutor Norman S. Minor and Dr. L. L. Rodgers, local Afro-Democratic leaders, "went to the bat" in a recent meeting of the 18th Ward Democratic club, of which the former is president, and fought their political differences to apparently an amicable finish. In doing this, they were but emulating the example set by their political associates of the other group or class, who often begin to fight among themselves at the first indication of Democratic victory in the offing. "Twas ever thus. Elsewhere in this paper will be found an editorial from "The Cleveland Plain Dealer of Ohio" where it is diddly one of the fairest statements of a case of the kind in which our people were in,volved we have seen in any publication for many a year. The editor of that paper should know that we fully appreciate it, too. L'ENVOI OF THE EDITOR When earth's last billboard has vanished And the landscapes again are in view, When the radio siren is silenced—the Shopping news in oblivion, too— We shall rest and, faith we shall need it— Lie down for an eon or two, Till a celestial special edition shall set us To work anew. And those that survive shall be happy: They shall sit in the editor's chair; They shall write without fear of libel the Truth they tracked to its lair. They shall find real advertisers waiting— Hanging around in the hall; They shall clip coupons for a living and Never be tired at all. And only the Master shall praise us and Never the public shall blame; And no one shall write for money and no One shall write for fame; But each for the joy of the writing, and Each in his separate star, Shall publish the news as he sees it for the Reader of things as they are! (From the California Publisher, Author known but modest). M NO COLOR-LINE IN ALL EUROPE! France the Best—England's American Prejudice Very Little As Compared With That In This Country, Says Rogers. Paris, France.—Nowhere on the continent of Europe is there a colorline. A "Negro" of decent appearance, however dark in color, may go any where and instead of being refused he will receive that fineness of courtesy to which America, at its best, is yet a stranger. And this holds true even in Paris where the Americans are most abundant. Personally I have escorted Colored Americans, of them quite black, to some of the best and most exclusive places and I have yet to encounter other than the most perfectly courteous reception. After more than seven years observation I feel free to, say that American color prejudice has made no noticeable headway in Paris. YESTERDAY FINE PIECES. But yes, Americans were the guests of an African prince to dinner at a hotel patronized largely by well-to-do Americans. In the afternoon he took us to tea in the finest establishment in the Bois de Boulogne, and his white guests also danced on the floor on which the white Americans were. The fact is that most white Americans who spend any time on the continent soon become aware of the fact that color prejudice is imbecility, pure and simple, and that those who indulge in it are freaks since no one can help being the color again. Again their lack of knowledge of the language is against them. In England they are more at home, and can spread their propaganda. American influence is no doubt largely responsible for the fact that England is the only country in Europe in which color prejudice exists. The more cultivated English classes, however, are among the finest in the world and whose students hold a noble recognition to cultured Negroes, wealth and those who have something exceptional to offer in the artistic field as, say Paul Robeson, Lawrence Brown and others. England Hates Foreigners. Color prejudice in England is far from being the raw, pervasive, "jim-crow" article it is in America. The color prejudice in England the more likely it is to accept Negroes. In America the boot-licking, white-man-fawning Negro more welcome than the manly, cultured one. In England the former type would be quickly set in his proper place. For the poor black man, England is the hardest country I know of. He will meet prejudice when unrelieved by economic conditions than in America. The English do not like foreigners, regardless of color, and the Negro's foreign color when unrelieved by wealth or genius makes it doubly hard for him. There were more unemployment in England color prejudice, I am convinced, would be very much less prejudice than in man, in his native land, is not naturally prejudiced against the black. There have been instances where black people in large numbers have been refused in Paris hotels patronized largely by Americans. Nevertheless, it may be stated, as a rule, that any dark man coming to the continent will find no objectionable reminder of his color from the moment he touches its soil. The same sweeping statement cannot be made with regard to the British Isles. J. A. Rogers in Chicago Defender.

Clarke Shows How the Race Suffers Heavily in Unemployment Because the Government Refuses Us Appointments We Are Entitled to. BEHIND A RIOT. Trampled by a mob of 300 shouting for the blood of policemen, the lieutenant and two patrolmen who figured in the E. 47th Street eviction riot could not have done otherwise than strike back. They were the law, outnumbered 100 to 1 by foes of the law. It was their duty to maintain order. That the performance of this duty resulted in two deaths is regrettable, but we do not see that any lack of judgment on the part of these officers contributed to the tragedy. There are other contributing factors which the community must not ignore. Chief among them is the fact that the burden of depression has fallen with more than average severity upon that important group of Clevelanders, the colored people. Cleveland industry brought these people here in the days of prosperity. It found them willing workers at modest wages. Then came the depression. Colored workers were the first to be shoved off the pay roll. Their wages, never high enough to enable more than a few to attain economic stability, little left margin for saving. Hunger, cold and despair caught up with them faster than it did with most of the unemployed. This openen the door to the Communistic agitators, always glad to exploit those who have real or fancied grievances against the capitalistic system. The colored victims of economic maladjustment have a grievance. They may never have heard of Karl Marx and know little about Russia, but they do know when they are hungry and cold, when they are pushed out of even low wage employments and finally evicted from dwellings which their white neighbors spurned years ago. Normally the Negro is a poor objective for Com- 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 NEWHEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans.

President Herbert Hoover, anger of being swept away by the undiscriminating hand of want lurking just around the corner. Our professional class must rise or fall with the workers and they have been feeling the effects of our rapidly contracting economic foundation and more keenly with the advancing years, unless the miracle of race organization to meet this situation takes place. What I am writing here is of a thing unknown to the educated classes of Washington, judging from the way they "trip the light fantastic" in the dance halls of the city, and plan months in advance for the football game extravagant bridge parties and a perennial "good time." I am a Washington, but this same situation can be duplicated, triplicated and quadruplicated in many other large urban centers. To write that "something must be done" is not enough, and hence I suggest that we should call an economic conference of carefully selected men and women from all parts of the country and get down to business before it is too late, and it will be too late in another twenty years. Thos. H. R. Clarke. municipal teachings. He is an indi- vidualist, anxious to rise economically and imbued with respect for democratic institutions, in which he is anxious to share. Only much more than a reasonable share of adversity will drive him under the red flag That some of his number in Cleveland have listened to red preachments and been incited to violence is not strange. Furthermore the colored residents of the roaring third have for years protested, and with reason, at a color line in law enforcement. Too often the man with a dark skirt has been deprived of his right and particularly of the protection of the principle that a man is assumed innocent until he is proved guilty. Most of the residents of the "third" do not live there because they like it but because they have no other place to go. With few exceptions they are law abiding and industrious. That a few crooks live among them is not their fault. All these facts had their part in contributing to the eruption on E. 47th St. Tuesday evening. If this disorder was directly incited by Communists or others, those responsible should be brought to justice. Meanwhile these other social and economic factors familiar to most people suggest serious questions to which Cleveland has not yet found an answer—Cleveland Plain Dealer. K. P.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1931 STATEMENT Sees mgr the ct of Of The Gazette, published weekly at Cleveland, Ohio, for October 1, State of Ohio, ss County of Cuyahoga, ss. Before me, a notary public in and for the State and county aforesaid, personally appeared Harry C. Smith, who, having been duly sworn ac- cording to law, deposes and says ‘that ho is the owner of The Ga- zette and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management, ete., of the aforesaid publication for the date shown in the above caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in section 411, Postal Laws and Regu- lations, printed on the reverse of this form, to. wit: 1. That the name and address ‘of the publisher, editor, managing editor, and business manager is Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, 0. 2. That the owner is Harry C. Smith. 3. “That the known bondholders, mortgagees, and other security hold- ers owning or holding 1 per cent or move of total amount of bonds, mortgages, or other securities are: ‘There are none. 4. That the two paragraphs next above, giving the names of the own- ers, stockholders, and security hold- ers, if any, contain not only the list of ‘stockholders and security hold- ers as they appear upon the books of the company but also, in -cases where the stockholders or security holder appears upon the books of the company as trustee or in any other fiduciary relation, the name of the person or corporation for whom sch trustee fs acting, is given; also that the said two paragraphs con- tain. statements embracing affiant’s {ull knowledge and beliet as to the cireumstances and condition under which stockholders and security holders who do not appear upon the books of the company as trustees, hold stock and securities in a capac- ity other than that of a bona fide owner; and this affiant has no rea- son to believe that any other per- son, association, or corporation has any interest diréct or indirect in the said stock, bonds, or other securi- ties than as so stated by him. ‘ Signed, Harry C.

American “Big Money” retains its “strangle-hola” on Haiti, and its military guard, even tho the admin- istration of its other affairs were turned over, largely, to the native government, the first of this month. ih It seems strange that with all of our temporary and permanent or- ganizations, practically nothing is ‘being done to protect the rights and privileges we still retain, and to re- gain those lost. Now comes Capt. 7. H. R. Clarke of Washington, D. €., who complains of our inactivity along economic lines. His complaint {s too well founded for comfort. Some day these people of ours will awake to the foregoing, and then maybe our so-called leaders will stop talking, four-flushing and pour- ing out superlatives long enough to DO something, and that day had ‘better come soon. tii DEFRAT “THE TRIPLETS!” Some of our people remind us very much of the “Missouri hound- dog” that licks the hand and the boot that slap and kick it. OF course, some of them don't know any bet- ter, but there must be some who do know better. This may help to ex: plain why some, if not all, persist in thelr support of “The Blossom Triplets” in the face of their neglect and mistreatment of our people, particularly of the third and fourth counciimantc districts, and the en- tire city. A people that will stand such shameless mistreatment in the face of “The. Triplets’ broken promises and pledges are not on- titled to any better treatment, to ‘ay the least. If ever candidates for re-election to office were thoroly entitled to crushing defeat at the hands of their constituents, they are Councilmen Clayborne George, Law- rence Payne and Leroy Bundy. Self and race respect demand this of all loyal members of the race in the third couneilmanic district. THE SCOVILL AVE. RIOT. More than 3,000 workers of many classes, races or groups attended the funeral services at Spira Hall, 3804 Scovill Ave., last Saturday noon, of John Rayford and Edward Jackson. These two members of the race were Killed, and several others wounded, earlier in the week when local Com- munists were pfotesting the eviction, of tenants of color in that vicinity, which resulted in a riot largely as a result of the activity of local po- lice in handling the situation. The two unfortunates, we understand, were members of the organization. It was a most deplorable demon- stration from every point of view and one greatly regretted by about all in the community. ‘This riot and its outcome again illustrates the futil- ity of the use of force, contrary to the law, upon the part of Commun- ists or any one else. It is the great- est weakness of the organization’s effort to help the working class. There is no question but that the or- ganization has done and 1s doing some good. But at what cost? There must be some other course it can pursue to get tangible and favorable results without resorting to force that has already brot about the sac- rifice of too many lives in many parts of the country. Not many months ago, three other members of the race, workers in Chicago, lost their lives in a similar demonstration. And there are others. | SPLENDID RECOGNITION. | “The Journal” (for September), the official publication of The Cleve- land Bar Association, contains on its first page a splendid portrait of for- mer State Senator John P. Green, the active veteran of the local bar, and gives an excellent concise Dio- graphical sketch of him. In doing this, “The Journal” says: “We are pleased to give this rec- ognition to one of our members who after 61 years of practice in the jaw enjoys the confidence of his fel- low lawyers and the good will of the communuity. * * * May Sen- ator Green enjoy many more years at the bar!”” It is undoubtedly the finest recog- nition, in “The Journal,” ever given an Afro-American member of the Cleveland Bar Association, and its very efficient secretary, A. V. Aber- nethy, editor of “The Journal”, can rest assured that he has pleased greatly not only the Senator but also all of our people of this community. It was a very gracious act for which we all thank him. ipa PINKLE AND THE KLAN. Some years ago Councilmen Her- man Finkle and Thos. W. Fleming put thru the City Couneil a reso- lution preventing the local Ku Klux Klan from parading in this city, thus bringing upon themselves the undying hatred of the whole K. K. K. The miserable organization's head- quarters, at Atlanta, Ga., immediate- ly began a campaign to punish Fin- kle and Fleming. After much time and at a great expense, the latter was finally “framed”, sent to the Ohio penitentiary and shorn of his political power. But Finkle has been able, to date, to prevent them from “getting” him. After the last city election, when three Afro-Americans were elected to the City Counceil, the K. K. K., in order to put over its program against Finkle, resorted to the old southern trick of playing on the gullibility of certain local “Negro leaders”. They (the K. K. K.) selected a former loyal member of their organization, an outstand- ing local independent - Republican who had formerly been active in the councils of the Klan, to do the dirty work. Our three “Negro” counell- men, it is said, were offered very Prominent local political positions, exceptional political power, and var- fous means of making themselves wealthy, if they would help elect City Manager the aforementioned in- dependent-Republican and help kill Finkle politically. Our three “Ne- gro" councilmen have apparently, blindly, or otherwise, allowed them- selves to be used to carry out the plan of the K. K. K. in its entirety, for they started an open fight on him as early as last year. They also attempted to overthrow Atty, Alex. Bernstein as Republican leader of Ward 12. Finkle and Bernstein, brothers-intaw, are Jewish and among the best friends our people of Ward 12 and the third councilmanic district have in the city of Cleveland. Now, all good citizens who are op- posed to the K. K. K. ought to vote against "The Blossom Triplets” (Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy) and defeat the program of the Klan to “get” Herman Finkle on election day in November, as well as former Councilman Thos. Flem- ing. They can vote for Atty. Loutse ‘Pridgeon in the fourth district; Walter 1. Brown, Rev. J. W. Rib ‘bins, Garrett E. Morgan or G. C. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0.

The announcement follows another telling of the completion of Italy’s largest railroad station in Mi- lan, a huge structure which compares favorably with the great terminals of the world. Italy's first subway system and the Diggest railway station are but mile- stones marking the progress of this modern, wide-awake city, which had the first public library In’ Europe and was the first eity on the continent to light its streets with electricity. Viewing the rich and interesting his- tory of this metropolis of the upper Po valley, its outstanding leadership among Italian cities, its virility through centuries, and Its varied ac- complishments, the observer may be inclined to give serious consideration to the boast of the Milanese that “what Milan thinks today, Italy will think tomorrow.” Milan, in the matter of a new sub» way, Is hurrying its plans because Rome also is planning a Subway sys tem. But Rome must hesitate and discuss. Underneath the streets and buildings of modern Rome are foun- @ations of ancient imperial Roman ‘monuments, and parts of the Cata- combs, Milan faces no such obstacles, and will radiate five lines from the center of the city as conditions re- quire, All five of the lines, two of which will reach points 20 miles away, will have stations within a few yards of each other in the Plazzo det Duomo. A population of more than 3,000,000 people will be served by this new system, up-to-date In every respect. Lombardy and Piedmont comprise the plains of the upper reaches of the great Po valley, the Alpine foothills, ‘and the southern and eastern slopes of @ large part of the alps themselves. Milan, on a fertile plain near the southern termini of some of the most important of the Alpine passes, was & town of considerable importance even in the dim historic days of 22 B. ©. when it was captured by the Romans. It was then, as it is today, @ close second city in point of popula- ton in Italy: Leader in Many Respects. Milan early earned a position of Teadership among surrounding cities, ‘@ leadership, however, which did not go unchallenged. The city has been destroyed many times, once by a Yeague of neighboring towns, and at ‘other times by alien conquerors. Aft- er each destruction it has sprung up on a seemingly firmer foundation to achieve greater popularity and a more far-reaching influence. Apart from any reputation Milan may have gained as an index to in- dustrial unrest, it is a leader emons Italian cities in’ other respects. In- deed, the Milanese insist that their ‘ity, thelr “capitale morale,” is the very heart and head of Italy's modern life and activity—‘first in industry, first in municipal progress, first in po- Utleal importance.” ‘Even at the beginning of the Elev- enth century Milan was of some impor- tance industrially, tts handicraft work- ers turning out textiles, arms and jew- ery. p oleewr gic ‘wars to which Traltan and provinces were sub- ected slowed up its industrial devel- ‘opment even after the introduction of the factory system, but since the uni- fication of Italy in 1870, and the rel- ative political calm that has followed. the growth of the city’s industries has ‘Deen marvelous. Textiles, locomotives ‘and electrical apparatus are the lead- ing products and 2 long list of metal could be added. ‘The industrial plants of Milan have fairly burst the confines of the old city and many are to be found in nu- ‘merous populous suburbs that have ‘sprung up, especially since 1895. ‘The population of Milan itself now num- ers close to @ million. Its population Is exceeded only slightly, if at all, by that of Naples, and 1s considerably In ‘excess of that of Rome. Water’ Power Development. Interesting is the fact that all in- @ustries in this section of Italy are Rot dependent on the importation, of coal. Piedmontese and Lombardian industry has been turning more and more during recent years to the use of electric power generated from the great falls and rapids of the many streams that, tumbling down from the heights of the Alps almost at the walls | of the cities, may be made to take the place of the expensive fuel for which Italy is dependent on foreign coun: tes.

And going back into Roman mythology’ a little, he points out that Juno, a heavy: weight goddess, was as much admired in her way as the slimmer Venus. And for such ladies as are best de- scribed by his newly-coined classical term, the French designer recommends the bolero, a short Jacket with or with out sleeves.

A MUCH-NEEDED DEFINITION! KNOCKING—a slang expression generally meaning something said that is derogatory, an adverse criticism, or a reflection upon a person's ability, character or repu- tation. The real meaning of knocking is something said reflecting upon a person that is untrue. When the truth is told, it is not knocking! That difference everyone should learn, The crook, the confidence man, the grafter, the villain, depends for success upon the silence of those who know him or those victimized, Under the mis- taken idea that it is dishonorable to “knock” anybody. those who could expose the crook fail to do so. In con- sequence, many people fall victims before the law steps in or the scoundrel leaves for another city to continue the dirty work, It is the duty of every honest person to advertise such hypocrites, Negroes are the greatest vie- tims. They are beaten out of money through loans, mis- representation or stock transactions, then under the mis- taken idea of loyalty, they say nothing or only whisper about the affair, instead of “crying from the housetops.” Hence, the gentleman crook or business man crook gets away with his thievery. “Every knock is a boost” is only true when what is told is false, but no knock is a boost that tells the truth. Negro crooks and confidence men generally using race pride as a means to play their game thrive upon silence, The man who knows such wrong doers and will not warn the innocent is both a coward and jackass, EDITOR W. P. DABNEY. Cimeinnati Union. Smart Women Are Fashion Wise Denver, Colo.—When here sev- eral weeks ago, Dr. Mordecai John- son, president of Howard University Washington, D. C., delivered a re: markable speech at the triennial meeting of the Protestant Episco- pal Church and its General Conven- tion, a number of the high points of which gre given herewith "Segregation is the great menace to our civil, public, religious and educational institutions. Tt is the root of all evils. Segregation means stagnation and stagnation means death in all walks of life. No presi- dential candidate needs to go South because of the historical rule of no discussion of political issues and be- cause if Democratic, he knows that the vote of the unborn is already registered and counted for him and it Republican, he knows that that unborn vote also is against. him. Hence, no use to go down South. That's solidarity that never changes “Segregation blinds, soothes and causes presidents, governors, con- gressmen, district attorneys and judges, Sworn to uphold, defend. preserve the Constitution and the law, to approve, acquiesce in the violation of the’ spirit and the law when they know they are swearing one thing and doing another. Seg: regation kills courage and manhood Segregation makes hypocrites out 0: honest. men. God has never re quired that’ man, because of his Christianity, be less than a full man Segregation and Christianity canno' mix because a man cannot be a true man under segregation which stifle: ind kills his manhood and the spirit. “States which divide educatior and segregate pupils, hurt both hu manity and the cause of education Its effect upon the children, whe van £0 to state colleges, schools S6NOW is not the time to be fashton-wise and penny fool- tsh," according to Miss Doris Hin- man, a widely known lecturer who speaks on the subject of American Fashions throughout the United States. "But", Miss Hinman adds, “this ts not the tims to stop being fash- fon-wise. The woman who knows the prevailing tendency of the mode and buys within its reaches, considering also the Ines, colors, and textures most flattering to her- | self, is the woman who is really | tashton-wise. | “In this year designed as no year [has been since the war for sane economics—she is penny foolish | who buys smart looking clothes | without looking into the matter of their real textile quality. Of course, | textiles guaranteed by an entire in- dustry are the really sate guide, “The American mercerizers, who have led the way in this country toward a new conception of stabii- ized textile quality, .gave taught us ‘a great lesson in pointing out that quality in clothes must begin with the yarns or threads from which they are made. “It this basic textile quality ts lacking, then the garment can give nelther the wear nor the continued beauty which should be expected of it. No matter how smart look- ing it ts it is not a good “buy”. This ‘te the reason that women every- where—and men, too—have been |io"prentiy interested in the new \eottons that are durened. With \them we have an industry-wide |promram of protection. Resultant e clothes, carefully styled and ete., and upon those who cannot be- cause they are shut out but who must depend upon outside aid and missionary education, tends to rob the white child of the appreciation of" his full duty to other citizens, and steals the respect that he should have fot justice and equality in the law. Missionary education while good cannot and ought not to supplant the state education provided for by the taxes of all the citizens. States should furnish state education, from its own state schools, to pupils re- gardless of race or color. “Politically, commercially, social- ly, agriculturally, economically, ete., segregation causes two circular lines of circulation, one independent of the other and shut off from the other in business and in polities, etc. Thus the business, politics, or g0- ciety, etc., segregated from others flows in small and large circles ac cording to groups. The ‘Negro’ group, the only and smaller group suffers more than the combined larger group which has the flow from all the other groups. Segre- gation dooms the ‘Negro’ because nowhere in the circle can it be re- plenished by new blood or ideas, especially hard in days like today when chain stores, combinations, trusts are forming gigantic organt- zations to take over the business or polities, ete., of the world, while the ‘Negro’ never gets outside of his cir- cle. The ‘Negro’ as a business man and’ otherwise has tried to get out- side of his circle but the finger of disaster stares him in the face and points assuredly to his destruction.
