IN UNION IS STRENSTRO FORTY-NINTH THE MAY Save Ea A At Point of Transfer 4 Car Lines THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since VOTE FOR JUDGE STACEL For Judge of the Municipal Court—Always Fair, Sympathetic, Honest and Close to the Masses—An Exceptional Career. Judge Jacob Stacel, age 45, is a self-made man, starting out to make his own living at the age of six by selling newspapers and doing odd jobs. Securing a musical education enabled him to work his way thru grammar and high schools. He Judge Jacob Stacel. studied accountancy which secured him employment for four years. After this he entered Western Reserve Law school, being admitted to the bar in 1911. He entered public life sixteen years ago as a city claim adjuster; later was elected a member of the City Council, serving four years. He was appointed that body was against that miserable organization, known as the Ku Klux Klan. Following this he served as an assistant law director and chief police prosecutor. It was while serving in this capacity that he conducted a vigorous campaign which resulted in the conviction of four men for torture. Twenty were forced to resign and nearly ninety dry-raiders, who were working out of their offices, were forced out of business, eight or nine being sent to the penitentiary. Following this Judge Staceel was elected to the Municipal Court bench where he has been a judge. He has been a person particularly the poor and fortunate. He is liberal, capable, humane, kind and fair to all without reference to color, class or religion. BENJ. FRANKLIN SACHAROW A Leading Candidate for City Council In the Fourth District — A Sterling Friend of the Race. Benjamin Franklin Sacharow, age 31, of 1575 E. Blvd., is a candidate for the City Council in the fourth district. He is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, attended the University of California and graduated from Western Reserve University Law school. If elected to City Council, Mr. Sacharow will favor an immediate investigation of the Cleveland Railway Company in order to cut down extravagances and bring about improvements. He favors the Municipal Light Plant and is known to be fearless and independent, and has the courage to speak out. If elected, Mr. Sacharow will be responsible to the people only. He asks for first choice votes from all in the fourth district who test and courageously act as City Council. The Gazette commends and recommends Mr. Sacharow's candidacy to all. STOP THIS WASTE. At the polls, next Tuesday, the voters of Cleveland will pass on the issuance of $2,500,000 bonds to build a bigger municipal light plant. There is no necessity for issuing these bonds. The light plant is more than large enough to take care of its present business. Its business has fallen off greatly, and its earnings have been largely reduced, in the past year. Cleveland has ample electricity for every purpose. The service is of high quality, and the rates are low. The effect of the passage of these bonds would add to the taxpayers' burden, and very likely would to an increase in electric light and the rates. Under these conditions, the voter's decision in his own interest is clear. For the sake of putting a stop to rising taxes, and to preserve the present low electric rates, vote against the $2,500,000 municipal light plant bond issue. ELECT ATTY. PRIDGEON! She Deserves It Because She Is Competent, Willing and Gets Results — Conducting a Whirlwind Campaign. Atty. Louise J. Pridgeon held more than twelve meetings, the past week, sponsoring her candidacy in the fourth councilmanic district, and in addition spoke to several social gatherings. The residents of the district are elated over their courageous and aggressive candidate who is to help represent the district in City Council. Atty. Pridgeon is especially well qualified by experience, and is the only woman practicing law in the city. In the last eight years, she has tried several murder cases, has practiced in the city and common pleas courts, the court of appeals, the state su- preme court and the federal courts. Prior to her admission to the bar, she was a social worker and made an enviable record in that field. Atty. Pridgeon is serving her second term as president of the Harlan County Democratic Association in local attorneys. She is very active in civic, social and political work, advocates more of our men in the police department and representation in the fire department. On numerous occasions she had demonstrated that she possesses plenty of courage, tact and a keen appreciation of the needs of people of Cleveland. Our people of Cleveland will see what a real representative in City Council can and will do for them. The other group had women in the council, why shouldn't we? VOTE FOR PEARCE A Former Judge of the Municipal Court—A Friend of the Race—Exceptionally Able and Experienced. One of the candidates for municipal court judge is former Judge Berkeley Pearce who is seeking a four-year term. Judge Pearce is an old citizen of Cleveland, is an exceptionally able attorney and was one of the best judges on the municipal court bench in 1919, having been elevated to the position by appointment. We are pleased to give him our whole-hearted endorsement and ask our people to give him their support on election day because he is a real friend of the race. A SCOTTSBORO VICTIM.

A Conscientious, Honest, Industrial and Expensive Leader, a Friend of the Race When we experience the realities of life, we are better fitted to serve our fellows. The school of experience is the greatest factor in our lives. Councilman Charles Sacks, who is seeking re-election, has tasted the realities of life and is a graduate of the school of experience. PETER M. Charles Sacks. A graduate of the public schools, learning the bricklaying trade, studying law at night while working at his trade, graduating from the Cleveland Law School and taking a post graduate course at Baldwin-Walton College, a county County Clerk and then practicing law and establishing for himself in the legal profession an enviable name. For two years (1927-1929), Atty. Sacks represented the Second District in the City Council during which time he proved to be a close observer of city legislation and a hard worker on the various committees to which he was appointed, to be re-elected but the City Law Department has his legal training and his council experience by appointing him as one of his assistants. He served for one year. When former Councilman Wm. J. Kennedy resigned to take a position in Gov. White's cabinet, Councilman Sacks was elected by the City Council to fill the unexpired term. He took on that term at present. He took on the role of about railroad-crossing elimination in the district, better street-lighting, especially Kinsman Avenue White Way; better street-car service on Kinsman, Woodland and Buckeye Roads, improved collections of garbage and ashes, increased fire and police protection, a nine-hundred dollar sewer improvement without the cost to the tax-payers and with the least inconvenience to business. Councilman Sacks is entitled to re-election! He served the people in the Second District honestly and industriously. Combined with his past experience, he should be re-elected on first choice votes. Place number 1 in front of the name of Charles Sacks on your ticket when you vote on Nov. 3, 1931. It means your approval, your appreciation of his service to all the people in the Second District. Keep Sacks Is Jackson's Plea Speaking before a crowded house at First Mt. Olive Baptist church, E. 126th St., last Monday evening, he attended at the Church of God, E. $3d St., female Representative Perry B. Jackson urged our people of the Second District to keep Charles Sacks in the City Council by giving him their first vote. Sacks explained that contrary to what many people were saying, ©RSS PERRY B JACKSON Sacks was not a member of the City Council at the time of the Woodland Hills riot but nevertheless did all that anyone not in the Council could do for our people at that time. He further stated that in the summer of 1930, when an employee of the swimming pool turned out the water, our people had a picnic there. Sacks had the guilty party "fired," immediately. The meetings were sponsored by the South Side Republican Civic club, Dwight Brooks, chairman; and the 16th Ward Community club, Mrs. Nannle Mitchell, president, re-elected to the Messrs. Maurice Maschke, Frank Sotak, Alex H. Martin and Gordon S. Simpson. LOSES HIS CROWN! Young Jack Thompson Does This Second Time — The Gate Re- ceipts Over $50,000—The Winner a Youngster. Boston, Mass. — Jack Thompson, welterweight champion of the world, lost his title here in Boston Garden, last week Friday night, to Lou Brouillard, age 20, of Worcester, and his opponent, age 30, of which he won. The title bout drew a capacity throng of 18,500, and gate receipts announced as $55,000. Thompson got half of this and Brouillard only 10%, in addition to the title. Jack must win against another battle like he did Tomas Freeman in Cleveland, O., early last spring. Dean Haywood Spoke Youngstown, O.—Oakhill Ave. A. M.

C. — Parents of children of Mexican and Spanish descent lost their fight, Tuesday, to prevent Del Rio (Tex.) authorities from carrying out plans to segregate their school children. The Supreme Court rejected their appeal from Texas courts which denied them an injunction. The Supreme Court held it had no jurisdiction to rule on this state matter. CANDIDATES FOR MUNICIPAL JUDGE. How the Candidates, Recommended By the Bar, are Worthen, Were Chosen The candidates for Cleveland Municipal judgements recommended by The Cleveland Bar Association were chosen not by any small group or committee, but by the entire membership of the Association. Questionnaires regarding qualifications for judicial candidates were sent to 2,033 members of the Association. Answers were returned by 1,238 members of the Association, as to the industry, knowledge, patience, courtesy, judicial ability and moral courage of the men who had been on the Bench and were still on the Bench. The judgment of these members was also given as to the ability, honesty and integrity of the candidates who had never been on the Bench, and an opinion as to whether they would make good progress in the judgment of these Bar Association members, a list of recommended judicial candidates was made up and sent to the entire membership. 1,420 members of the Bar Association cast votes which resulted in the present list of recommended candidates. These candidates pledged themselves not to solicit funds or speak at political meetings. The Bar Association has a responsibility of raising the necessary campaign funds and of conducting a campaign in keeping with the dignity of judicial office. AN OPPORTUNITY! "The Old Reliable" Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Airo-American residents. Only a little time on Fridays or Saturday is required to make some money. We are especially desirable of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Springfield, Columbus Toledo, Steubenville, Zanesville, Wilmington, Xenia, Washington C. H., Lancaster, Pligua, Lima, O., and other places, particularly in Ohio, where we have none. We are to editor of The Gazette 226 West Suite 100 Cleveland O., and terms will be oblique. Our readers will oblige us greatly by sending us the addresses of persons in the cities named, and others in the state, to whom we can write relative to the matter. Editor. 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-Americana. "NEGROES A MENACE." The pastor of Quinn A. M. E. Chapel, E. 130th St., this city, permitted Wm. R. Hopkins to speak in that church, Sunday evening, Oct. 18, 1931, in the face of the fact that Hopkins when city manager said: Hopkins moved Cleveland from the South in 1917 were a MENACK to this community." It was, too, City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, who for more than four PETER B. Wm. R. Hopkins. years kept our boys and girls from training (as internes and student-nurses) at City Hospital, a public institution maintained by the taxes of Allied Nations and Ireland. No member of our race in the second councilmanic district, who has any self and race respect, can possibly vote for Wm. R. Hopkins on Nov. 3, 1931, and retain either. His insulting "MENACKE" statement (to the local daily press) and his "City Hospital" treatment of our young folk, referred to alqaas, him perfectly with the Ku Klux Klan sentiment of this community. No loyal member of the race can vote for Hopkins, Nov. 3, 1931. COUNCILMAN F. W. WALZ. Sterling Friend of the Race Whose Resolution Opened City Hospital to Our Interests and Student-Nurses, the First of Last Year—Vote for Him! Dr. F. W. Walz, of the first district, is generally conceded to be the people's best representative in Cleveland. He is the best friend our people have in that body, and he proved it by introducing and securing the passage of a resolution, the first of last year, which opened the City E. W. WALZ Hospital (which had been closed to us for more than four years) to our girls and boys to train as student-nurses and internes. Dr. Walz did this and nobody else, and if our people in Linndale know how to be grateful and appreciate a friend (and we believe they do), every one of them will vote for him on election day in November. Dr. Walz is an independent, and not aligned with either party. More than thirty years ago, he was the Republican coroner of this (Cuyahoga) county and a sterling friend of the editor of The Gazette then as he is now. The Pridgeon meeting at St. James A. M. E. church, Wednesday evening, was a real mass meeting. Standing room was at a premium. Some of the speakers were Rev. D. Ormonde Walker, Dr. James E. Owen, Atty. Alex. H. Martin, the editor of The Gazette and Atty. Louise Owen, the latter addressed extremely enthusiastic and generously applauded those who addressed it. Practically ovations were given the editor upon his entrance, during his speech and at its close. Mrs Pridgeon was similarly treated, making one of the very best speeches of her campaign to that date. She and the editor addressed a meeting in Glenville, last evening, and she later addressed Councillor Jack pennant hall, E. 133th St. and Klusman Rd. (in the second district). Thursday evening.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1931. MUST HAVE BEEN A KLUXER. When a lady friend (white) of the race, went into the A. & P. store, cor. E. 85th St. and Quincy Ave., recently, she noticed the Afro-American picket, walking up and down the sidewalk in front of the store. Turning to the man back of the meat-counter, who was waiting on her, she said: "Why don't you hire a colored clerk in this store?" To which he replied: "They want too much. We have a colored man come, morning and evening, to clean up. We can't have them back of the counter. THEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED! I know I wouldn't have one back of MY counter. To which the lady replied: "The Fisher Co. does." To which he replied: "No, Fisher's don't, and the A. and P. don't." But Fishers do and so does the A. and P. Co. For the latter have, in recent months, re-employed George A. Sisco in its de luxe store, cor. E. 49th St. and Central Ave., of which he was manager for many months, from the day of its opening. The A. & P. Co. have other Afro-Americans in their employ, too. The lady's trade and that of her relatives, and at least one other close friend's family (white), in that vicinity, was lost to the E. 85th-Quincy Ave. A. and P. store because of the fool prejudice (K. K. K.) talk of that too talkative man, back of the meat-counter. GREGG BLOWING, AS USUAL At a political meeting, held one evening last week in the third councilmanic district, Dr. E. J. Gregg told the following story in illustrating his agility to repeatedly leap from the Republican majority to the Democratic minority in City Council when a member of that more or less august body, two years ago. Said Gregg: "A little monkey saw a larger one blowing hot coffee, it was about to drink, and asked its older brother what he was doing that for. The reply was that it was doing that to cool it. Later on the little man the larger one blowing his cold paws and again asked why that was being done. The reply was to warm them." Blowing hot coffee to cool it and blowing its cold paws to warm them, the ex-councilman said, best illustrated his alternating—voting first with the Democratic minority and then with the Republican majority. This he did repeatedly, he said. The result was that at the end of his one term both party organizations "fired" him and did a good job. Now, he is again posing as a Republican—for a "temporary" or "one winter" job as a district physician. As a hot and cold political blower (Democrat and Republican), Gregg thinks he is a success. The near future, however, will determine that and not the politically agile Gregg. FINKLE AND THE KU KLUX KLAN! Some years ago Councilmen Herman Finkle and Thos. W. Fleming put thru the City Council a resolution 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 headquarters, at Atlanta, Ga., immediately began a campaign to punish Finkle 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 Council, 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 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1931 "Negro leaders". They (the K. K. K.) selected a former loyal member of their organization, an outstanding local independent - Republican who had formerly been active in the councils of the Klan, to do the dirty work. Our three "Negro" councilmen, it is said, were offered very prominent local political positions, exceptional political power, and various means of making themselves wealthy, if they would help elect City Manager the aforementioned independent-Republican and help kill Finkle politically. Our three "Negro" councilmen have apparently, blindly, or otherwise, allowed themselves 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-in-law, are Jewish and among the best friends our people of Ward 12 and the third councilmatic district have in the city of Cleveland. Now, all good citizens who are opposed to the K. K. K. ought to vote against "The Blossom Triplets" (Councilman 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. Fleming. They can vote for Atty, Louise Pridgeon in the fourth district; Walter L. Brown, Rev. J. W. Ribbins, Garrett E. Morgan or G. C. Lacey, in the third district, all members of the race, candidates whose political connections make it impossible for the K. K. K. to use them as tools. Therefore, let all of our loyal members of the race in the third councilmatic district vote for Finkle, and to kill the Klan—our bitterest enemy. CLEVELAND GIVEN HEALTH CUIDANCE BY 'PHONE B. REAU Attendants Answer Health Queries All Hours of Day and Night A pedestrian is ground under the wheels $\alpha$ a truck. There is a mad scurry to his assistance. The man's life depends upon speed. Where can an ambulance be summoned in a hurry? Who is the nearest physician? These questions in such an emergency can be answered quickly in Cleveland, now that the Academy of Medicine has opened its new health service. A special telephone number at the academy's information bureau is reserved 24 hours a day for calls seeking emergency medical assistance or health information in general. A rheumatic sufferer may want to know the merits of an advertised patent remedy. A family moving to Buffalo may want the name and address of a reliable physician there. A stranger in the city may inquire whether the "Blank" Hospital is the proper place to go for an appendicitis operation. Queries similar to these and hundreds of others pertaining to health problems are answered daily by attendants at the bureau's switchboard. The information staff, armed with complete medical files backed by the resources of the American Medical Association, keeps Clevelanders up-to-date on medical methods and services. In addition to supplying information, they have a list of ambulances and physicians subject to call in emergencies. More than 40 ambulances and 170 physicians are available for call at a moment's notice. Cleveland physicians also may use the bureau to keep their patients informed of their whereabouts. On departing from their offices, physicians may call the bureau and leave directions for reaching them. Cuts Death Rate Leaders in Cleveland welfare and medical circles believe that the academy's health number will aid materially in improving the city's general health. In an address at the dedication of the service, Dudley S. Blossom, welfare director, predicted that the new health service would reduce the Cleveland death rate, although it is already lower than in most large cities. Popularity of the service is reflected in the fact that nearly 5-600 Clevelanders called the bureau for health information and assistance during the first month of its operation. "NOT THE LARGEST. BUT THE BEST!" Little Rock, Ark. June 16. '25 Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette. Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—Long live The Gazette! a welcome friend to the Ricks-Demby family for forty-three years.

"THE BLOSSOM TRIPLETS" BROKE THEIR PLEDGE TO THEIR CONSTITUTIONS AND NOW MUST PAY! Dr. Horace C. Bailey's Miserable Mistreatment by Director Blossom and the Latter's Coarse Statement to Him—Other Failures of "The Triplets", Etc. Cleveland, O., Aug. 19, '31. Wendell Phillips Dabney. Editor, "The Union," Cincinnati. O. Dear Confrere:—Your request for a short article on "The Blossom Triplets," Cleveland's Afro-American councilmen. Atty. Clayborne George, Atty. Lawrence O. Payne and Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, is here with complied with: Dudley S. Blossom (wnite), director of welfare of Cleveland for about six years past, with his then superior officer, City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, arbitrarily refuse our interns practice the Cleveland City police our girls entrance to the school for nursing at the hospital. Every other class, group PETER H. BURKE or race of people in this city was accorded the rights or privileges mentioned in the foregoing sentence. 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 welfare." 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 district's owing as well as that of the then City Manager, R. Hopkins. 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 constituency after night during the campaign, to do all in their power to help assist Hopkins and Blossom." They were elected on that pledge and early in That Should Alarm Every Thinking Afro-American — "The Blossom Triplets" Arraigned. Every racial group in this city seems to be honestly represented by their councilmen, except the "Negro." If you are willing to continue this condition, by living thru two more years depending on political weaklings and moral cowards for representation in City Council, risking the loss of all recognition that comes to the race from city political sources, vote for Payne, Bundy and George. If you are willing to have your boys and girls denied appointment to city jobs after they have taken civil service examinations and won high ratings on the eligible lists, vote for Payne, Bundy and George. If you are willing to keep men in office who are apparently absolutely devoid of all race consciousness, wholly in race interest; men who apparently entered office without a single purge motive, and whose single activity seems been looking after their own material interests, thus making use of their political office for private profit, vote for Payne, Bundy and George. DEFEAT "THE TRIPLETS"" The Gazette is not opposing any of our candidates, this campaign, except "The Blossom Triplets" (Councilman George, Payne and Bundy) and all of our readers know why we urge their defeat on election day, Nov. 3, '31. This statement is made in reply to false charges by several campaign talkers who are trying in vain to work up a little sympathy for "The Triplets." A *Newspaper's Verdict*. Dr. Leroy Bundy should be defeated because of his close associations with George Bender, whom he was largely instrumental in imposing on the Morgan administration, and because of his lack of interest in business other than spoils. Lawyer Payne has showed little interest in the business, rarely attending committee Cleveland Daily Press Editorial. Seventeen temporary sewer inspectors, working for the city, drew an aggregate pay of $1980 each on the Oct. 15 pay roll. They were not named from the city civil service list because not one of them was an Afro-American. Where, O!, where were "The Blossom Triplets"? Same old story! George. SOMETHING. Salary $1980 Each last year, soon after the ousting of Hopkins, broke their pledge and acquiesced in the reappointment of Director of Welfare Dudley 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 act that their three sons have been the balance of power in Cleveland's City Council 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 too intent upon looking 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" which have arrived against them all the loyal and aggressive members of the race in this community. Payne, George and Bundy will be defended in November. One or more Afro-Canican candidates are opposing each of them. And in January next it will be good 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 Gazette" with the assistance of the Geo. A. W. Walz this city and Councilman F. W. Walz, dem, who introduced the resolution to the Cleveland City Council the first last year, fully opening that institution to our people in common with all others of this community. GEORGE WRONG AGAIN! The May Co. Has Not Discharged Any of Its Afro-American Employees and Is Not Doing So. Cleveland, Oct. 22, '31. Rev. Sylvester Williams. 2712 Scovill Ave., City. My dear Rev. Williams;—One of our employees tells me that at a political meeting that he attended, Monday night at St. James A. M. E. church, in which Mr. Ben Sacharow and Councilman Clayborne George debated certain political questions, Mr. George made mention of The May Company, telling his audience that The May Co. were discharging their colored porters. I know whether this report is correct, not, as I have only my informant's word to that effect. I regret to reopen this question that had come up before, the details of which you are familiar with. It might be well for you to investigate this case, and if you find it so, better tell Mr. George the truth of the matter, and if he did make such a statement, he better still be willing to entertain them is exist, and not tell stories that have no semblance of truth in them whatever. Very truly yours, S. M. Gross, Manager The May Co. "MOST CAPABLE LIAR"! Peter Witt Styles Former City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins — Pans "The Blossom Triplets", Too. His voice hoarse from his town meeting of Sunday night, Peter Witt appeared at St. James' A. M. E. church, last Monday evening, and continued his attack on the manager plan, Wm. R. Hopkins and others politically generally. He added the information that "Most of your leaders are crooks." "I am looking for the time," he said, "when your honest men will be your leaders. Giving Negroes jobs to drive garbage trucks doesn't mean anything to the progress of Negroes. What they want is justice." Turning to gambling for a short excursion, Witt also said: "They put Wertheimer out by getting an injunction, but they put the colored people out by breaking their furniture. And your counselmen are as a tomb when their race is insulted and beaten. They haven't the decency and honesty to stand up for you." Of Hopkins, Witt had this to say: "He is the most capable liar I know. Often I sat back and said, 'Doesn't he do it beautifully.'" Bundy. Lawrence O. Payne ours for the race. Harry C. Smith. Editor.

CHILDREN CRY FOR IT— CHILDREN hate to take medicine as a rule, but every child loves the taste of Castoria. This pure vegetable preparation is just as good as it tastes; just as bland and just as harmless as the recipe reads. When Baby's cry warns of colic, a few drops of Castoria has him soothed, sleep again in a jiffy. Nothing is more valuable in diarrhea. When coated tongue or bad breath tell of constipation, use its gentle aid to cleanse and regulate a child's bowels. In colds or children's diseases, you should use it to keep the system from clogging. Castoria is sold in every drug store; the genuine always bears Chas. H. Fletcher's signature. "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now, it justifies and holds together more than cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wella.

And any continued constipation at that time of life may bring attacks of piles and a host of other unpleasant disorders. Watch your bowels at any age. Guard them with particular care after forty. Whenever they need any help, remember a doctor knows best. "Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin" is a doctor's prescription for the bowels. Tested by 47 years' practice, it has been found thoroughly effective in relieving constipation and its ills for men, women and children of all ages. It has proven perfectly safe even for babies. Made from fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless ingredients, it cannot gripe; will not sicken you or weaken you can be used without harm as often as possible. The tongue is coated; whenever a headache, bilious, gassy condition warns you of constipation. At drugs stores everywhere. O. K. Printing Co. W. J. Foster - John M.

There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything affecting the lives of African Americans is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune. Make Them Keep Their Word! A year ago the People of Cleveland voted for bond issues amounting to $31,500,000. They did this on the City Hall's pledge that no more bond issues (except for welfare purposes) would be asked for five years. C. C.

Now the City Hall is a $2,500,000 to extend the This bond issue violates Conserve the City's cre Reject Light Editorial from The October ECONOMIC unfortunates fight grimly these days for sustenance. Charitable organizations struggle on to relieve distress. In a few weeks the Community Fund will call on Cleveland to give all it can for the relief of the hungry and the sick. It seems tragic that city council should be asking Cleveland to vote for a $2,500,000 bond issue for the expansion of the municipal light plant in times like these. The goal of the Community Fund is $5,650,000 in the coming campaign. The fund needs more— much more—than that. Yet the city of Cleveland, if the voters approve, is preparing, in spite of the stressful times, to spend a sum almost half as large on the development of a public utility—a public utility looked askance because it has been a political football for years and whose present proposed development is of doubtful value to the city. Now the City Hall is asking for a bond issue $2,500,000 to extend the Muny Light Plant. This bond issue violates that pledge. Conserve the City's credit—Defeat these bonds! Editorial from The Cleveland News Cleveland should vote "No" on the bonds for the municipal light plant. We do not believe that the light plant needs expansion at this time. It is well able to care for all the business it can get. We submit, further, that it seems poor judgment for the city to embark on a Vote AGAINST the Muny Light Plant Bonds THE CLEVELAND BUILDING OWNER P. W.

Plant Bonds! the Cleveland News 3, 1931 policy of expansion when most corporations are retrenching. If there is $2,500,000 available in this community, doing nothing but drawing interest, the money ought to be used for poor relief. There is another bond issue on the ballot, much more worthy of support. The state is asking $7,500,000 for the expansion of state welfare institu- tions. That bond issue deserves support. The sum the state asks is only three times as great—the need is 300 times as great. It is true, of course, that the light plant bonds will not increase the tax on property. Its advocates assert that the bonds will be retired by revenue from the light plant. But, the same persons who pay taxes are the people who buy light and power from the city. Even if the bonds are approved, it is doubtful whether the city will be able to use the money. Bond issues for the light plant are not a charge against the tax duplicate, although they do become a part of the total debt. Under the new law, Cleveland's total debt is already in excess of the legal limitation because the duplicate has been decreased. We believe that the expenditure of $2,500,000 for the light plant at this time is a waste of public funds.
