In conversation, Wednesday, with a friend, he suggested that acting Mayor Harold Burton cut down the rubbish and garbage collections to one day in the spring and once in the fall. This would save a large amount of money which could be used to hire several more unnecessarily poverty-stricken aristocrats from our many surpluses. This would enable them to almost keep up with the "Joneses" ("dicties"). Or, stop all garbage collections and use the money thus saved to improve the roadways leading to our many suburbs where are the homes of our high salaried city officials. John W. Raper of "The Cleveland Press" had the following in his column, Nov. 11, but prefaced it with the picture of a bull: "When I left office it was with the clear knowledge that its heavy burdens had seriously impaired my health and that further continuance in the office for any length of time would invite a serious physical break-down"—W. R. Hopkins, in a speech in Buffalo, Monday. Hopkins sure was handing out the "bull" alright to the unsophisticated in our neighboring city. Appellate Judge Carl W. Weygandt when asked if he would be a candidate for mayor of Cleveland region. "Several people have urged me to run. However, I am not a candidate. I live in Lakewood and own my home there. I would not want to be accused of being a 'carpet-bagger' to be mayor of Cleveland." Councilman Walz could do no more popular thing than to secure the adoption of a resolution by the City Council stipulating that all employees of the city should be residents of the same. If they do not care to live in the city they ought not to want to work for the city but leave the jobs for those who do reside in it. If you own property in the surburbs you can live outside of the city while on its pay roll. But if you are too poor to own a "mansion on the heights," yet desire to breath in an aristocratic neighborhood, you can't prevent you from voting as you please in January and February next. Before the dead-line, Nov. 12, '31, and at this season, the late fall, the suburbs like wild geese the may- orality migratory political "birds" were flying, rushing toward the good old feeding place, Cleveland's City While could I (am among operated, they could (in the city) but as they are compelled to live off of you, not being able to live without you, the beggars are coming to town screaming loudly: "Saul (Danceau), O. Saul! Why persecuted thou我?" Here is another one from Mr. Rap's department and it is a good one, too. "Today's Editorial." We advocate a change in the city's charter, drawn by Saul Danaceau. "There should be one section which provides that when a candidate moves to the city from the Heights or other burbs he should bring with him either a nightshirt or a suit of pajamas. These must be taken to his room when he registers at a hotel and establishes his residence in Cleveland. "There should also be a section providing that he bring with him a comb and brush and at least one clean collar." NOVEMBER 21, She Still Seeks to Save Aged "Negro," Innocent of the Charge of Murder—The Orphan Jones Baltimore, Md. — When Helen Mays, 22 year old investigator for the International Labor Defense, went to the Snow Hill, Md., courthouse, together with Bernard Ados, ILD attorney, to file a motion for a change of venue in the case of Orphan Jones, 60 year old Afro-Amer- Helen Mays. ican farm-hand, she was beaten by a lynch-mob. Miss Mays, posing as a saleswoman of face-lotions, has been investigating the murder charges against Jones and finds that he is the innocent victim of a frame-up. She charges that Judge Joseph Bailey of the Snow Hill court tried to halt the ILD motion that would give Jones a fairer trial in Baltimore, that he ruled Ados out of the trial, and that city and county officials gave her and the attorney no choice in the lynchers. Both were severely beaten. ILD, which has produced for publication in the Baltimore Press signed statements showing that Jones wants Ados for his lawyer, is still fighting for a change of venue to Baltimore and for Jones' freedom. MARTIN ASKS RECOUNT With the Charge Per Precinct Waived—Ohio's Corrupt Practices Act's Limit of Expenses of Candidates. Atty. Alex. H. Martin, defeated candidate for municipal judge, late Tuesday sent to the board of elections a formal request for a recount of the ballots, for him and for Municipal Judge Joop P Smith in all the 749 precincts in the city in the recent election. Martin, who lost to Judge Smith by 860 votes in the contest for one of the three two-year terms on the municipal bench, asked the board to waive a requirement that a candidate must post $10 for each precinct included in the recount. "I am asking your favorable consideration of this request for a recount without requiring the said deposit (of $7,490)" Martin said in his letter to the board. "I am insisting on this. In fact, because think it is my right and because the errors to which I am calling attention are prejudicial, plain and manifest." He also said he believed it would be illegal to require him to pay $10 a precinct for a recount of the votes in all the city precincts because the state election code prohibits a candidate from spending more than $750 in the election. "To pay $7.50 for the recount which I am requesting will require me to forget, not to say violate, the provision of the corrupt practices act," he said. Martin alleged that the board "deliberately and intentionally and illegally did not provide election boards with test tabulation sheets. He also said an inspection of returns from precincts in of the 33 wards in the city 'discloses errors and mistakes induced by the intentional failure to supply test tabulation sheets.'"

BECKETT, THEN PASTOR OF METROPOLITAN A. M. E. CHURCH, EXPLAINS His Belief in God—His Failure to Approve Theologi cal Dogmas Often Promulgated From the Pulpits, Etc.—Interesting. Washington, D. C. — Frederick Douglass, our foremost leader and greatest abolitionist, was also no church member. His views, however, about the church and his religion are preserved in a letter to the Rev. J. W. Beckett at that time pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, this city. The letter was dated, Oct. 28, 1841. Mr. Douglass' letter was in reply to a letter from the church that he become a member of Metropolitan church. Dr. Beckett said that he noticed Mr. Douglass in his congregation regularly, although he had heard he was not a believer in Christianity, and it was further said by some that he had little respect for ministers of the religion. Douglass' Reply. In reply, Mr. Douglass said that he had frequently heard himself called "anything but an amifiable spirit, an infidel, athiest, and disorganizer by ignorant men inside and outside the pulpit, who really did not know the significance of the epithets they applied to him. "And yet," said he, "I have never heard such men quote one sentence or syllable from any writing in proof of the justice of the charges therefore, in view of do not wonder, therefore, in view of do not wonder, of such utterances, you should be surprised to find me a regular reader of your church organ, a supporter of the church over which you preside. My line of conduct in this matter is not determined by my approval of the theological dogmas often promulgated from the pulpit. In respect to many of those dogmas I should, perhaps, differ very widely from yourself and others, while I yet find ground entirely satisfactory to my judgment and conscience for not putting my mite to the treasury of your church, and that of others God Is Good. "As to my infidelity, so-called, it has never denied any attribute of the Deity. To me, God is good! God is light! God is truth! God is love! and to glorify God is to lead a life in harmony with these attributes. In this respect man is related to his Creator as the watch to the watchmaker. A watch glorifies its maker when it answers the end of its manufacture, which is to keep goods always—always to be true, and never to be false in its measurement of time. A watch man's body or mind does not glorify the Lord. He may sing praises to the Lord and call himself a Christian, but he brings no glory to the Lord, no good to his fellow man. Christianity. "Christianity is nothing to me, except as it stands as the representative of the sigh of the soul for a noble life; for herein is the true glory of God. Now looking at the church, apart from what is purely theological and abstract, I see in it means of promoting honorable character and conduct; and, as I have said, for this reason I contribute my own support to its support. I have still another reason for this action, though not one of equal weight with that already given. It is because I would have colored people enjoy advantages for assembling themselves together, for moral and spiritual improvement, equal to those enjoyed by others. Church Attractive. "A large commodious and well-appointed church, in pulpit, choir, and architecture, is attractive to the people who assemble, and commands the African from the outside world. The African is a man of strength, (the name, by the way, is altogether too long and stilted for my taste) is such a church, and therefore, I want to see it flourish." Concerning the Bible, Mr. Douglas said, it was more important to him than to read the Bible really means, than to read the Bible really was composed and what degree of inspiration we shall accord to it. Contradictions. "Here we are met by a confusion of tongues and by endless contradictions, each man and sect drawing from it that meaning which commends itself to his or her judgment, and a purely human judgment without. Whether this interpretation peace or for war, for love or for hate, for good or for bad, for men of all races and colors at the same communion table, or whether 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 NEWBEST AND BEST published in the interest of Afro-Americans. LE COPY FIVE CENTS EMBER TEST LEADER J. W. BECKETT, THEN PAS- LITAN A. M. E. CHURCH, PLAINS Failure to Approve Theologi- Promulgated From the c.—Interesting. it excludes a part and sends it off to a little kind of kitchen communion table by itself; whether the Christian religion is for one race, or for all races; whether free salvation or predestination, is the true meaning of the Bible; whether Roman or Christian, is true or false; or the innumerable Protestant sects, constitute the true Church. About these and other endless contradictions I might write interminably, but I lay them aside in that spirit of charity which leaves each to stand or fall to his own master." Mr. Douglass said that he contributed to the church because when he contrived to be a church churches contributed to the improvement and moral elevation of those who come within the reach of their influence; because he held that the pulpit is capable of being a powerful agent in the dissemination of truth, and he held that truth is the power of God for the salvation of the world, and he did not limit the power of God to the man in his relations in the family, in the church, in the government, in the world. OUR CENSUS GROWTH! A Loss in the Growth Rate of the Other Race—Our Population in Several States, North and South. Washington, D. C.—The racial classification of the U. S. population, as announced by the census bureau, shows marked gain in our growth rate and a loss in "white" growth rate. In the last decade we increased by 13.6 per cent, as compared with 6.5 per cent in the ten years previous. The other race increased by 18 per cent, as compared with 16 per cent the decade before. Comparative figures were given as follows: April 1, 2001. Jan. 1, 2001 "White" .108,842,207 94,820,915 "Negro" .11,891,143 10,463,131 Even when adjustment was made for the approximately 700,000 Mexican population counted as "white" in 1920, the percentage of increase for the white population was only 15.7 per cent in 1930. The census bureau said the "white" category obviously was due to the falling of the birth rate and the restriction of immigration. Nearly two-thirds of our entire increase took place in the North, and the census bureau is of course aware of the fact that large numbers migrated northward. However, those in the southern states increased. Georgia, only state with more than 1,000,000 in 1920, decreased by 11.2 per cent, and Virginia and South Carolina also lost. Mississippi gained by 8 per cent and became the second state with more than 1,000,000 Afro-American population — 100,718.718 New York state gained by 168 per cent, making our population there 412,814; New Jersey by 78.3 per cent to 208,828; Pennsylvania by 51.5 per cent to 431,257. Highest in percentage of gain was Michigan, 182 per cent, with our present population of 169,453. Illinois, gaining 80 per cent, now also, with 66.1 per cent, has 309,304 The Mexican population increase in the U. S. in 1930 was more than 100 per cent. Cleveland's 1932 tax rate will be about $2.81 per $100 valuation—an increase of 8.5 cents over that of this year. County Auditor Zangerle announced, Wednesday. Thirty-four men and women arrested in a policy game raid at 2381 E. 43d St., were dismissed in municipal court, Saturday, when a motion to suppress the evidence because no search warrant was produced was granted by Judge Mary Grossman. Eighteen others, including five women, were fined $25 and costs by Judge Grossman on charges of visiting a gambling place following a raid at 2517 E. 37th St. Capitains for six who failed to appear after their issuance, the same缸 were ordered in issued, the same缸 were arrested in a raid at 5712 Thackeray Ave. were no-papered when the state failed to produce sufficient evidence. --- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN UNION IS STRONG 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 325,000 in Ohio. 75,000 in Cleveland. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1931 The City Council finance committee Monday approved the purchase for $37,475 of the last three parcels of land needed for the extension of E. 18th St. from St. Clair Ave. to Lakeside Ave. Councilman Clayborne George cast the dissenting vote saying he regarded the street extension as unnecessary. Wrong again! GEORGE, JOBS AND LODGE. The Kroger Chain Store Co. which has 26 stores in the Central Ave. district, on Nov. 8 notified James D. Turner, manager of store at E. 43d St. and Central Ave. that he had won first prize for having the largest sales report for the week preceding, and that he would be promoted to a supervisorship of Kroger atores on Jan. 1, 1932. This was the result of his excellent sales record, and management. All Afro-Americans holding jobs with the Kroger company were placed as a result of the initial efforts of the Economic Race Development society of this city of which Milton G. Roberson is secretary. A full and complete statement of this fact will be found elsewhere in this paper. The effort to give "Councilman Clayborne George and his East End Political club" all the credit for this accomplishment is unfair, to say the least. This same thing (claiming credit they were not and are not entitled to) characterized "The Blossom Triplets" pre-election claims of accomplishments. They have two years before them in which to DO something and convince their constituents that they are real live councilmen instead of jokes as such. And we intend, during this period, to keep our people's attention focused on them so that two years hence, if they seek re-election, they will not be able to fool so many people with their false claims of accomplishment. Meantime, "The Blossom Triplets" will have to atone, in some way, for that tragedy, and this can only be done with favorable results and not claims. Last week when Councilman Herman Finkle was, for good and sufficient reasons, objecting to granting an additional $20,000 or so to the Wayfarers' Lodge, in Chester Ave. Councilman George, who rarely ever seems to be "certain of himself" or to know "just where he is at," beethot himself that now was the time for him to "do something." Atty. Louis J. Pridgeon, during the recent campaign had so thoroly "spanked" him and the other two "Blossom Triplets" (Bundy and Payne) because of their "donothing policy" in the case of the miserable discrimination on the city beaches and at the city bathing pools, each summer that George was anxious to try to refute the charge, at least in part, by showing the people at this late day that he was active in their behalf. So, immediately after Finkle finished voicing his criticisms, Clayborne charged the Wayfarers' Lodge managers with color-discrimination which they did not deny. Good for him! That is the kind of effort his constituents of color want, especially when it is announced that the Lodge managers were not given the money they sought. This time, hurrah for both Finkle and George. Let the latter, particularly, keep up that of good work and restore much of the confidence in him most of his constituents of color held prior to the Blossom affair. Altho three or four of our men passed the examination given some months ago, for membership on the police force, not one of them was appointed because of the NEGLECT of "The Blossom Triplets." Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy. There is to be another examination next week. The most must be filed before Doc. 8, "21. This will afford another opportunity to our men desiring to become policeman, and to "The Blossom Triplets" to help at least three of them. Prime Sport News Ohio State's Afro-Star! Last Saturday Bell broke thru the line, blocked Wisconsin's punt, fell on the ball behind Wisconsin's line and secured O. S. U. s lone six points of the game: Ohio State 6, and Wisconsin 0. Ohio State won second place in the "Big 10" by Bell's play and Wisconsin was shoved down into the second division. **Dempsey Booed by Crowd.** Omaha, Neb.—Jack Dempsey, one-time ruler of the heavyweights, found Bearcat Wright, giant Omaha Afro-American, "a hard nut to crack in a four-round bout here, last week Wednesday night, but edged out our former decision. Wright, a great defensive fighter, beat off the beat Jack had to offer without a quiver and gave a few in return. Neither fighter did any great amount of damage. There was much clinching in the bout. Dempsey was booed as he left the ring, while Wright was cheered. A crowd of 8,000 saw the cheered. Charity Football Game: Cleveland's charity football game was definitely launched with the election of Appellate Carl V. Weygandt, president of the Ohio Football Officials Association, to serve as chairman of the board to arrange playing details for the interscholastic championship game, scheduled in municipal stadium, unified by the NCAA, on Nov. 28. 28. All organized groups in Greater Cleveland, as well as the public at large, are invited to attend this game. Champions of the Cleveland Senate, which comprise nine public senior high schools of Cleveland, and of the Catholic High School league, that includes four private senior high schools, will play in the finals, and bands will open the festivities on Cleveland's charity game day. Gave Them "Heart Failure." Evanston. Ill. — Northwestern's gridiron machine, rolling toward undisputed championship of the Western Conference, was almost stalled, Nov. 14, but managed to grind out a slender one-point victory over Indiana's scrapping Hoosiers. The 7-5 Michigan team got over a scare the Wildcats offered before a crowd of 19,000 spectators, who shuddered for nearly three periods at the prospect of a 6 to 0 Indiana triumph. The Hoosiers, battling like madmen, fought the great Wildcat line off its feet from the start, and through two periods and part of another were considerably the better. Their touchdown was the result of aazzling 5-9 yard run by an Aro American substitute halfback, Jesse Babb of Fort Wayne, Ind. Babb streaked over Northwestern's end and on until he was knocked out of bounds on the Wildcat 4-yard line. DR. CARTER WOODSON Subjected to An Acid Test by Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., Editor of "The Christian Recorder"— "The Negro Church." Philadelphia, Pa. — Some weeks ago, Dr. Carter Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of "Negro" Life and History, invited Rev. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of "The Christian Recorder," official organ of the great A. M. E. Church, to speak at the association's meeting in New York City, last week, that was to subject the "Negro Church" to tests. Dr. Wright was assigned the subject "The Negro Church." In reply to Dr. Woodson's letter-invitation, Dr. Wright rather caustically said among other things: "You have exhibited none of the patient, self-efacement in study, which is the first characteristic of a scholar. You delight too much to put your half-baked opinions on the public." "I take it, therefore, that your main purpose is not to get truth but, under the guise of scholarship, to heap abuse upon the church and its leaders. "You may fool some white people and get their money by ridiculing you but you certainly are not fooling "Nepal." "You need money for your so-called research association. You will attack the Church in an effort to get it." GIVES REASONS For the Elimination of the Manager Plan—A Warning to Morgan and Others. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—After listening to numbers of voters from different sections of the city, one is convinced that the voters of Cleveland dumped the Manager Plan of city government because they wanted to get rid of several of City Manager Morgan's cabinet (directors) and also to rid Cleveland of the many highly paid suburban dwellers (those who live off of the tax-payers of Cleveland, but who live outside of city) who have overthrew the city government—just another little Boston Tea Party which objected to "taxation without representation." How can the Republican party hope to elect Morgan mayor when he was responsible for the conditions which were and still are so vey objectable to the voters of this city? The voters know that his election only means a continuation of the very same conditions whose elimination was started, Nov. 3, and they are determined to continue the process of elimination until they get for the city of Cleveland a new and entirely different board of directors, and also the jobs. Jobs, large and shall still be held by voters. Cleveland. It is just as reasonable to believe that the members of the Boston Tea Party would have voted to continue their allegiance to the King of England as to believe the voters of Cleveland will vote to endorse a continuation of suburban domination.

SHE'S PROBABLY CHANGING THE BABY'S EAR MUFFS. THAT TAKES A LONG TIME Our mor-violence or anti-lyning 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 injury to any one, or pretending to "mob" 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 "serious injury" for any person shall be shorter, 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, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum of money or 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 occurred, five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one 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.) 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 damages for such unlawful killing. Sum shall be applied to the maintenance 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 then be distributed to the survivors, and then be distributed to the widow, receiving an amount equal to child share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recover of such person so lynched, the estate of such person so lynched, be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) 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 representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by a mob. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, 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 it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such recovery, 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 representatives 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 seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10. Section 6288. It a mob carries a 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: UBS. od. a representative of victim of lynching try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. a member of mob just another county. 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 money from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW 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 enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Se. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor of a keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities not less than fifty dollars shall be fined not less than fifty dollars more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in the county of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Frank Hall was elected a member of Cincinnati's City Council of nine members only four of which are Republicans. He is the first Afro-American member.

There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. AFTER 40 bowel trouble Constipation may very easily become chronic after forty.

Councilman Roy Bundy introduced a resolution in City Council, Monday evening, authorizing an "investiga tion of the alleged defects in the election machinery" in ward 17, last week Tuesday. He claimed that "more than 1,000 electors in the 17th ward had been denied a vote, election day, because of mistakes in registration that were not the fault of the voters". All this is nothing but bunk and camouflage. He is trying to cover up the inflated registration in that ward and thus prevent an investigation that should include ward 11 at the time. And then, I am told that electors in the 17th ward being denied a vote, last week Tuesday, a proper investigation would show what is pretty generally claimed in that section of the city and that is that the "registered voters" in that ward out-number the real voters by between one and two thousand. By all means let us have a thoro investigation of the inflated registration in both the 11th and 17th wards and not one for "alleged defects in election machinery". Councilman Larry Payne seconded Bundley's resolution with the following: "Numbers and of law-abiding persons interested in voting from voting by a damnable dangerous registration system". Positively a silly statement and silly language "damnable dangerous registration system." There is positively nothing dangerous about permanent registration. Even Payne ought to know that. ALL ARE INVITED To Participate in The George Wash ington Bicentennial Celebration, Next Year — Send for Pamphlets, Plays, Pag- U.S. George Washington Bicentennial Commission through its division of information and publication, again calls attention to the fact that all people, regardless of race, creed or color, are invited to participate in the nation-wide celebration in 1932 which is to honor the father of his country on the two hundredth anniversary of his birth. In creating the Commission, Congress stipulated that the celebration be universal in extent so that future generations of American citizens may be examples of loyalty to country and the nature of purpose set forth by the first President. The Commission has invited every state and city in this country to become an integral part of the bicentennial organization; it has invited every group of people in America to unite in paying tribute to one of America's two leading citizens, the martyr, Abraham Lincoln, being the other. There are many other religious and no color-lines in this museum it is announced by the Commission. The celebration will begin, Feb. 22 '32, and continue until the following Thanksgiving day, and the Commission stands ready to assist all individuals and organizations to take part in it. The Commission has historical pamphlets, program pamphlets, plays, pageants and suggestions for participation. Any of the organizations will be sent a copy of charge, to those interested individuals or organizations wishing to participate. Write the U. S. George Washington Bicentennial Commission, Washington Building, Washington, D. C. RAPIDLY RETROGRADING The great majority of our people of today, unlike those who have passed and gone and who by their frugality, truthfulness, industriousness and good common-sense demanded and commanded respect from all other races, seem to care only for the truth, and have little regard for the truth, make practically no preparation for the future, and only think of having "a good time". They are martyrs to the cause of deception and pleasure, but cannot become martyrs for principles. Picnics galore, taxes daily, small down-payments on unreasonably priced homes and automobiles; vast untaughtaining and making every kind of an outward show of prosperity. But when a call was sent out, last fall, to raise a fund to send our Ex-Representative Perry Jackson to Columbus to watch and protect our interests in the last legislature, none could spare any money for this very necessary act. When the Empire Savings and Loan Co. was in need of help, we couldn't afford or didn't have the means to deposit a small sum in that organization for the purpose of restoring confidence in it and building up business for that very much needed enterprise. In order to present "a big masked front", but can do nothing to make this city a better place for ourselves and our children, or to fight and try to stamp out prejudice, segregation, disrespect, distrust and "jim-crowism". Every day and in every way, we (as a race) are very rapidly retrograding. The Gazette can plainly see that it will only be a few more years, if our people don't wake up and start to think of the future, until we will have another Cincinnati right here in the city. We know that there the K. K. recently held a state meet and in one of that city's public school buildings, to draft plans to "take care of the Negroes of Ohio during the next three years", and we are still sleeping and occasionally waking up to listen to unscrupulous leaders who are exploiting the race to get them to work. We do we have a "down home" up here, don't blame anyone but yourselves and your leaders. GEORGE AND JOBS! Editor The Gazette:—Some months ago, Claybourne George went to a conference in Assist. City Atty. Ryan's office to stop picketing of Fisher Bros. chain stores but lost his fight. As a result, the Economic Race Development Society, whose slogan is "Do not spend your money where you cannot work", was able to interview The Fisher Bros. Co. which is something new. The interview had ever done. Then the interview was fulfilled to the E. R. D. society and an agreement was made to supply the stores in "Negro" neighborhoods with eighteen managers and as many clerks as were needed to support the stores. This fair-dealing, square-shooting Mr. Grady informed the E. R. D. society that he would give us our own district manager. The Fisher contract is the fairest offered in the city of Cleveland. But what happened. Mr. George called the E. R. D. church Baptist church, called in Mr. Grady and pretended to be the original source thru which The Fisher Co. changed their policy of employment, and had the people, who were to be placed in jobs. stand up. He then made a lengthy speech, took a collection and left the people thinking he was the source thru which The Fisher Bros. Co. hired "Negroes. Whatever went to the meeting." The Fisher Co. hired less than one dozen "Negroes" in the time they asked to give the full amount of representation, which according to their agreement, would have been about 100 of our people, more or less. One hundred persons hired would relieve 300 sufferings. The day before the conference mentioned was the first time the E. R. D. society knew Mr. George was opposed to seeing "Negroes" was hired and the own political gain. When he was asked his view on the hearing, he stated: "I sure am sorry Mr. Ryan called me in for I certainly am opposed to that movement." The job campaign, in order to continue to get good jobs for the people, must therefore get rid of Mr. George and let the Fisher Bros. and all other organizations operating in our community know that we contend for clean leadership.

The hip line is snug but the skirt flares gracefully as it approaches the hem. The sainn vestee has tiny tufts on the upper arm, black on the hat, a wide black suede belt, black suede gloves and black footwear. By the way, beits this autumn range from a few inches to a foot in width. And you needn't wear your hat off-one-side of your head if it isn't becoming that way. This fashion is the woman finding fashion which become her. P. A.

Just go to the shops and smart fur departments uti see with your own eyes what charming fur novelties they are showing for au- tumn-winter 1931 and "32. ‘There are the cunningest little con traptions one may ever hope to see devised to go with these Jackets, for instance, tippets (ask grandina, they were “in style” when she was a tiny girl), and muffs, amusingly small, and If you will believe it, shoulder capes; yes, fur shoulder capes which are de tachable and may be wort separately It Is just such quaint accessories as these that seem to tell us that to be Rew-fashioned Is to be old-fashioned, at least so far as furs are concerned. From the wee velvet hat with its ostrich feather trimming to the old. fashioned jnckette of black galyuk fur, ermine-edged and accompanied witl & diminutive muff, the adorable outtit to the right in the picture declares mfd-victorian influence, which it should for the last word in regard to the new furs is they are going increasingly “victorian” with every tick of the ¢lock.

Some of the smartest are decidedly “sportsy” looking. One of the most popular furs of the season for youthful sports coats ‘and accessories 18 gray-kidakin. It is this sleek swagger fur which spells ‘outstanding chic for the jacket ensem- ble illustrated to the left. ‘There is, ‘am you see, a scarf, beret and muff to match, ‘The entire outfit is most in. triguingly designed with “catchy” de- tall, The muff is wonderfully clever as you will note and the belt is too fetching for words, being made of bright green leather which is braided “KNITTED” THE WORD fa CHRRIE wicmoLas "El es | Yas yy | VA ba /] r ‘Smart women are all enthusiasm in regard to the knitted costume as it “now is."

If ft can answer most of them in the afirmative, it passes fashion's test for this winter: Is it long enough to cover the dress? Is it inclined to breadth in the shoul ders? Does it detinitely fasten at the nat ural waistline, and at one side? Are the hips slimly molded? Does it have only a moderate ftare. but sufficient lap-over so it doesn't fly open? Does it have fullness und interest somewhere in the sleeves? Does It have an upstanding, lattes ing collar? Does it have a wider armlote? Does it treat flat fur as if it were fabric? Does it use long-haired fur for tts most flattering effect? Fur Coats Are Cheaper and More Attractive This year very few wardrobes will be lacking in « fur coat. For they're not only more reasonably priced thin they have been for years and years but they're also made in much more attractive styles. Fur coats follow the Same silhouette that's smart in cloth coat fashions, Long straight lines with walstlines fitted in and interest con centrated above the waist. Concen- crated mostly in making one look broader at the top. And this is brought about through various shapes in collars and through the sleeves as well. ‘Though one will oceasionally see co!- lars of long-haired contrasting furs, much more often they are made of the ‘same fur as the coat. ‘The shaw! type still remains a favorite. Up in the back and framing the face, nothing could be more flattering. Jersey and Tweed Are Favorites for Sports Firm jersey and lightweight tweed are the favorite fabrics for sports dresses, Many of them are designe! with short bolero Jackets which button elther in front or back and add both chic and warmth to the dress, Others ding to the belted hip tunic model.

Dependert almost entirely upon the good will and trade of the students and professors of the ancient seat of learning which has carried its name arouel the world, it is natural- ly anxious to prevent any outside fac tor from spoiling the unique character and appearance of the town. Yet, only five miles away, in the neighboring village of Cywley. the largest automobile factory in Great Britain prospers, and threatens to bring modern muss production up to the very walls and spires of its halls of learning. England needs success: ful industries just now, and therein Hes the rub. ‘The National Association of Local Government officers of England met in Oxford recently and its members Giscussed the matter pro and con. Willian Robson, one of the officers, prophesied that Oxford would become “the Latin Quarter of Cowley.” Ox- onians, it Is clear, would rather have such Industries confined to the Mid- lands, and would save, each in its own way, both Oxford and Lancashire. Oxford Is « picture of the Middle ages, whose spirit speaks of tomor- row, and is a fascinating study in it- self. “A home of lost causes and im- possible loyalties,” it has heen labeled by some writers, Perhaps libeled is & better word. “Lost causes” and “impossible loyalties" suzzest defeat and decay. But Oxford apparently has been nourished by lost causes; it has thrived on, or prospered in spite of, impossible loyalties. ‘The spires of the good xray city took down upon us restless ones of a machine age with the same detach: ‘ment and indifference that they dis- played in the face of Cromwell and his Roundheads or any others who have threatened thelr monastic peace and calm, ‘Phere are, of course, those who say that Oxford’ Is very far from being @ home of lost causes, and that, on the contrary, it has always been quick to fall in line with every popular fad which various generations have devel- oped. But this is a matter of opinion. Keeping Up to Date. Strolling along the winding streets and lanes of Oxford town, one notices many things in the windows and signs of the shops which indicate that the tradesmen and others not directly connected with the university have made concessions to the times—ehain stores, called “3 and 6's” instead of “5 and 10's,” the units being pennies. There is a branch of the well-known Woolworth’s in Oxford; American movie houses, “cinema” Is the English word, showing American and foreign films; interurban bus lines, garages and parking spaces, ‘soda ‘fountains and novelty shops. Although every vista Is closed with ‘spire or tower, a polite and efficient traflie policeman will admonish you to “come along” (move), if you linge too long at crossings to drink in the beauty and charm of the scene before you. But all this is Oxford town, which for generations has washed like a ses against the bulwark of walls, towers and battlements known as the col leges of Oxford university. Withir their great iron-studded gates the noise, the ephemeral comings and go ings, the ordinary pleasures and tri umphs and disappointments of th workaday world fade away. Here, one feels sure, ts no shell o a dead elvifization, but rather the rick fruit of ripe old age; a maturity se cure against whatever may come ot go in the world outside, be It near of far from the gates, Origin of the University. ‘The origin of Oxford 2s 9 university is shrouded in the misty myths of a day when records were poorly kept and even more poorly preserved. Some authorities hold that Oxford ‘and Cambridge were each founded by early Spotentetes, Others claim that attracted ‘scholars, It seems more likely, however, that both Oxford and Cambridge became universities as a result of location and & series of fortunate circum stances. Halfway between London and the Midlands of England, on main routes connecting the two populous “districts, yet far enough removed from the disturbances of these industrial and political centers, teachers and scholars alike found in them havens for academic life. A few learned men gathered abont them, in their homes or in monastic buildings, groups of “stuilents, who fonnd such accommoda. Hons as thes: could tn halls or hostels about the town, In course of time the scholars and “teachers, as # mutter of convenience, boarded together in halls, Gradually these halls gave way to corporate bodies or colleges, most of them of religious foundation and endowment. Expulsion of foreign students from Varis in the Twelfth century proved 4 great impetus to the struggling Ilt- tle English groups, and we find, a cen- tury Inter, that Oxford has 3000 stu- dents, and that Cambridge is recog- ized, in a writ of Henry IIT, as “an Important seat of learning.” ‘Today Oxford is officially composed of 21 colleges, one hall, a Delegacy ot Non-Collekiate Students, four “so- cieties” or colleges of women stu- dents, and the Society of Oxford Home Students, the last the female equivalent of the Delegacy of Non- Collegiate Students, Graduates may continue to be “members” of the university by the annual payment of certain fees. ‘This membership carries with It both acu- demic and political rights. If the graduate has a degree of Master of Arts or higher. lie ay vote on all proposed university. legistation, and, if he is also a British subject, he may take part in the election of the two members of parliament to which the university, as distinet from the town and county of Oxford, 18 entitled, Each College Independent. Oxford and Cambridge are unique among institutions of higher learning in the world in that they are com- posed of colleges which are also in- corporated hodies, each college with independent endowments, the right to receive and reject whom it will, and the power to regulate its students, within the walls of the college itself, as ft sees ft, No one, In fact, may he a “member” of the university un- less he is first accepted by one of the colleges or the “socleties” of which the university ts composed. ‘There are no members of the university “at large.” ‘The university regulates the teach- ings, prescrives the requirements for degrees sand grants them, and enforces Aiscipline outside of the college walls. Almost ever other power is delegat ed to the individual colleges. In some respects the relation between the unl versity and {ts colleges resembles that between the feders! government and the state governuents of our own country. j One English writes comments face: tontly on the se Q@p: “In solemn truth it may be su?! that the common law of England, wiiich covers so great f& part of the world, even beyond the bounds of the Brivis empire, does not run in Oxford, Oxford Is a free city Wherein men are slaves of a chancel lorial tyrant.” This Is, of course, mere hyperbole. But the vice chanceilor, who does the work of the chancellor, an honorary, nonresident oficer, may truly be said to be the lord of all he surveys In Ox- ford. While the city of Oxford has ‘a roling mayor and corporation (coun- cil) and theoretically is independent and supreme outside of college wails, It usually gives was when the vice |.chancellor of the university wishes certain things. gi For instance, no dances, benefit ex tertainments, or other umusements open to the general public and stu- dents may be held within the limits of the city of Oxford unless the per- mission of the vice chancellor has first been obtained.

Even tho the election is over, it Is quite proper to say at this time, as it was prior to Nov. 3d, that their claims of accomplishments for the race were in a large degree untrue. Be this as it may, the fact remains that during the past two years Council- men George, Payne and Bundy have done absolutely nothing looking to- ward the elimination of prejudice against our people in the various de- partments of the city. ‘This they should have concentrated upon first instead of quietly submitting to it in order to secure a few positions and jobs. And this elimination to the minimum could have been ac- complished) too. However, the basis of the greatest complaint against “The Triplets” was their breaking of their promises and pledges to our people of the fourth and third couneflmanic districts, and the city, “to do all in their power to help oust Color-line Wel- fare Director Dudley 8. Blossom." Instead of doing this, they helped to 2, ye He “aa Le ou oe sy Px - | + a secure Blossom’s re-appointment in the face of the fact that for more than four years he had barred our young men and women only from training in the City Hospital, a pub- lie institution maintained "by the tax-payers of this city, climaxing this miserable mistreatment — with the following coarse and insulting statement to one of our leading lo- cal ministers, Rey. Horace C, Bailey, and his motherless grandaughter, when they called on him at the city hall in an effort to secure the en- trance of the latter to the Nurses Training school at the hospital: “No! no Negro boy or girl shall train in the City Hospital as long as I am welfare director.” It took a three-year fight on the part of The Gazette and Councilman F. W. Walz’s resolution, the first of last year, to make Director Blos- som “eat those words.” This, how- ever, does not lessen the grievously insulting and miserable mistreat- ment meted out to our people of this community by him.

It was early last year that, led by Bundy. “The Blossom Triplets”, particularly he and Payne, started an open fight to replace Councilman Herman Finkle and leader Alex Bernstein of the 12th Ward, two of the very best friends our people in that section of the city have and the “meal tickets” of hundreds of them for many months.

It is common talk that the registered vote in each of these wards is from one to two thousand. more. than there are voters in them, Harry C.

KNOCKING—a slang expression generally meaning something said that is de~ogatory, 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. ‘Cincinnati Union. Bundy A MUCH-NEEDED DEFINITION!
