HEnderson 6028 8703 Quincy Avenue THE GAZETTE GArfield 3589-J ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since HEAR! HEAR!! THE ROUNDER WHAT'S DOING! It took many years' activity, for the poor, of Messrs. Finkle and Bernstein to make "The Blossom Triplets" finally "get a hump on," along the same line, during the recent Xmas holidays. Another debt of gratitude we owe the Republican leaders of the 12th ward. The Cleveland Guide of Jan. 2 announced that Councilmen Roy Bundy and Larry, Payne were to introduce DePriest and Acting Mayor Burton at the Woodland Center "emancipation celebration," last Saturday night, but they didn't do it. WHY? Where were they? The affair was hardly a financial success, we regret to say. In recent weeks, Councilman Bundy, whose "illness" prevented his attendance upon the City Council's very important meeting, Monday evening, has resumed his resolution activity. This has caused many persons to ask what he was doing with his resolution to wipe out those auto and other junk yards so much in evidence in E. 55th St., the principal cross-town thorace on the east side of this city? The Rounder wishes someone would find out and let him know soon. Call, CHerry 1259. The city is financially unable at this time to provide emergency hospital facilities in the downtown district, the City Council welfare committee announced, last week, in a report on legislation offered by Councilman Roy Bundy. "When we do not have the funds even to equip all the beds at City hospital, it is obvious that we cannot provide a new hospital," said Councilman Louis Petrash, chairman of the committee. This knocks the latest "jim-crow" hospital effort in the head, for a time at least. Dr. F. W. Walz, independent candidate for mayor, Sunday afternoon in a speech at St. James' A. M. E. forum, without naming Peter Witt, charged that he sold out first to Tom L. Johnson and recently to the Sweringens, for whom he is traction adviser. "One candidate is controlled by the Van Sweersengers," Dr. Walz said. "The ultimate plan is to concentrate transportation under the Terminal and sell the rest to the city. All municipal governments have certain ills. The only way to cure those ills is to hire the man for the job. He is our friend and has proved it. Our councilmen, "The Blossom Triplets," made it possible for John Marshall to receive a good living salary for the past two years—about $7,500, and two of them, again this week, helped to give him two more years at $5,000 a year. George and Payne's votes would have prevented him from landing the $5,000 plum. They voted for him! Where was Bundy—home "sick"? John shook his usual appreciativeness and felt toward his "colored lifeers" by appointing eight organization Republicans to frame the rules for the new council. And the were all "illy-white!" Not one of the two "Triplets," John's "life-savers," and both attorneys, were selected to serve on that committee. WHY? The Cleveland Plain Dealer's alleged poll of votes, for the four candidates for two nominations for mayor, doesn't mean a thing except the paper's apparent effort to boost the Democratic candidacies of Peter Witt and County Prosecutor Ray T. Miller. Do not be misled by it. Which ever one of the two, that happens to be nominated, will be knifed to withhold by the followers of the other. When a candidate for Peter Witt when a candidate for many years ago. At that time, several Democratic wards, down along the river (Cuyahoga), that had never gone Republican before, and have never done so since, defeated him on election day at the behest of the local Democratic organization which was opposed to the Witt candidacy he had forced upon it. Miller is the selection of the local Democratic organization, this time. So look out! Watch either one of the other candidates in February, either is nominated, Tuesday. Morgan will be the Republican nominee. DANIEL E. MORGAN. It is not difficult for the colored voters of the city of Cleveland to reach a conclusion as to how to vote at next Tuesday's primaries. Ninety-nine if not 99½ per cent of them are Republican Natural Liberals, who see their party more not only in primary elections but in all others. There are but five candidates to be voted for at the primary, next Tuesday, and they are Daniel E. Morgan, Ray T. Miller, F. W. Walz, Peter Witt and I. O. Ford. The last named is a Communist. Messrs. Miller, Walz and Witt are Democrats! As we have seen, Daniel E. Morgan, a man with a Mankiwian background, is Republican standing as a candidate, Jan. 12, for the nomination as mayor. He is so well known to the entire community, and his standing and record in public office are such as to commend him in the strongest possible manner to the entire electorate of the city of Cleveland. He is a quiet, but successful worker; a man who accomplishes his work; and who has been a member of the State Senate where he led in the work for three terms DANIEL E. MORGAN. (six years), and so while he was City Manager of Cleveland. Daniel E. Morgan is a graduate of Oberlin college, an attorney of many years' experience, and years ago served in the City Council of Cleveland from the section of the city which was largely populated by colored people. They need no introduction to him. Mr. Morgan has served as a member of the City Charter Commission, the Municipal Research Bureau and in other responsible positions, always most successful. He is the primary who has had the experience necessary to make him the kind of a mayor of Cleveland its citizens desire. He gained it in recent months as City Manager, and no one for a single moment questions the fact that he served the community well, admirably. As City Manager Daniel E. Morgan faced a problem without parallel in the history of the city, and met that problem with courage and decisive action. Then as now the case was one where wild theories were of no avail, nor would glorious promises of miraculous reform in the municipal government keep the city within a shrunken budget, nor put bread into the mouths of starving thousands. Financial depression was upon Cleveland as it was upon the world. There was need for increasing service but to pay for increased service there was no corresponding increase in revenue, but rather, a very serious shortage of funds. even from shrunken resources then available, money was found to give work to more than 16,000 workers who might otherwise not have been able to survive the bitter winter of 1930-1931. In addition to this Mr. Morgan played a leading role in the Roberts-Pringle Act which made available nearly one million dollars for direct relief, money that was spent in providing for thousands of unfortunate who were without means of livelihood. The office of mayor of Cleveland is a tremendously important one—a position that carries with it in normal times heavy responsibilities and particularly now when all of our governmental agencies are required to the times, to the unfortunate economic depression which affects not only us but the whole world. Daniel E. Morgan has met the test and, on Jan. 12, will undoubtedly be selected by the Republicans and others of the community to stand for mayor at the election in February because he is the only candidate with the needed experience in the office and because he has demonstrated the fact that he is able, kind, fair and just. Vote For X DANIEL E. MORGAN JANUARY 9, 1932 Hon. Harry E. Davis. The recent retirement of President Dave R. Jones (white), of the City Civil Service Commission, from membership in the board, made an opening for the next oldest member of the commission, namely Harry E. Davis who thus automatically succeeds to the presidency of the board. Additional political prestige is gained by the commission because of Mr. Davis' advancement which, of course, would not be possible if he "had not made good," at least as far as the work of the commission is concerned. The Gazette felicitates Mr. Davis on his deserved elevation and wishes him success, with markedly increased activity in behalf of our deserving young people of this community who pass civil service examinations and those now holding positions of one kind or another in the office of the city county or Mr. Jones' successor is Judge Dan B. Cull, the first Democrat to become officially connected with the local civil service commission of three members. Congratulations. Cleveland, O., Jan. 6, 1932. Hon. Harry E. Davis, Engineers Bldg., City. Dear Harry:—Your letter with enclosure—a check for the renewal of your subscription for one year—just received, and it reminds me of the fact that I must felicitate you upon your succession to the presidency of the local Civil Service Commission. While your deserved elevation is very pleasing, yet I know you will agree with me that its addition to the political prestige of our people of this community (if you have any left) is possibly the biggest and most important feature of it after all. Wishing you continued success and a broadening of your activity in behalf of our people of this community, I am sincerely Yours for the race. Harry C. Smith. DR. F. W. WALZ. Former Councilman a Leading Candidate for Nomination as Mayor— A Friend of the Race Who Has Demonstrated the Fact. Former councilman, Dr. F. W. Walz is known and generally recognized through this community as a man who is extremely conscientious, honest, energetic, faithful, and capable of holding any position within the gift of the people of the city of Cleveland. Many years ago, he served the county as coroner; the city, as councilman for several terms, years ago and in recent years including 1931, and has lived in Cleveland for more than fifty years. He is an ideal candidate, and if nominated, next week Tuesday, he will be elected in February and make Cleveland a mayor such as it has not had since its earliest days. The people of this city are looking for just the right executive and as such we believe he will meet all fair expectations and please the community immensely. We commend Dr. F. W. Walz's candidacy to our voters in the strongest manner and trust that they will give it earnest and favorable consideration when they go to the polls to vote, next week Tuesday.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WHY WAS DEC. 25 CHOSEN? THE SCIENCE OF COMPARATIVE RELIGION RENDERS INVALUABLE AID IN ANSWERING THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION. Communication. Washington, D. C.—Though Dec. 25, is regarded as the birthday of Jesus Christ, we really have no record of the actual day of His birth. The popular chronology gives the year 4 B. C., as the year of His birth, but the month or day of the month are unknown. Why was Dec. 25 selected as the birthday of Christian Zion? The science of comparative religion renders us invaluable aid in answering this important question. Students of the subject, who are familiar with such books as Robertson's "Papan Christis," Sir Godfrey Higgins "Anacalypsis," Kersey Graves "World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors," Doane "Biography of the Benedictine Bouch," and Rev. Robert Taylor "Diegesis," know about the many virgin-born saviors, who were worshipped hundreds and thousands of years before Christ. The most celebrated of these pre-Christian sons of God, were Osiris, Horus, Krishna, Buddha, Bacchus, Adonis, Hercules, utzalcoteal and Mithra. There is a remarkable similarity in the alleged photographs of these divine sons and sages. 1. They were all born on the 25th of December. 2. They were born of a virgin. 3. Their births were foretold by a star. 4. They were born in a cave or stable. 5. They all died violent deaths, being either crucified, gored by a wild boar or torn limb from limb by an angry mob. 6. Darkness shrouded the earth at the time of their death. 7. They descended into Hell. 8. On the third day they arose from the grave and ascended into Heaven. The reason why the Christian Church finally adopted December 25, as the birthday of Jesus was because of the universal popularity of that day as a religious holiday among the heathen nations of antiquity. December 25, was celebrated as the day of the rebirth of the Sunday, December 21, (the winter solstice), is the longest day in the year. By the end of the ancient period that the day was beginning to lengthen again and consequently hailed it as the birthday of the unconquerable Sun. The ancient Egyptians adored a little black child in a manger, which was displayed in their temples on Christmas, long before the Christian era. There is a close parallel between the life of this Egyptian god, Horus, as recorded in the sacred books of the Egyptians and the life of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. "The alleged facts of our Lord's life as Jesus the Christ," says the author of the same essay, "equally the alleged facts of our Lord's life as the Horus of Egypt, whose very name signifies the Lord." ("The Historical Jesus and Mythical Christ," mage 42, London, 1921). Add to this the fact, so brilliantly presented by Sir Godfrey Higgins in his monumental "Anacalypsis," that all of the early Christian pictures and images of the infant Jesus show him with a black complexion and in the arms of a black mother. Christmas was called Yule-tide by the ancient Greeks, and that season they arranged and staged great festivals and exchanged presents among themselves. The most popular gifts were horses, gold rings, swords and battle-axes. The pre-Christian Celtic Druids celebrated the night of December 24th as a grand festival night by lighting huge bond-fires on the tops of mountains. The day of Christmas was the 13th day of regeneration. Similar ceremonies were enacted in pagan Rome and pre-Columbian Mexico. Even IHS, the sacred monogram of Christ, may be traced back to ancient Egypt. I H S are Greek letters. Translated into Latin they become I E S. The suffix for masculine names in Latin is US. IES plus US is equivalent to IESUS. In translating the name into English the I becomes a J, and hence we get JESUS IHS was also the monogram of the pre-Christian heathen sun-god Bacchus. The Greeks originally pictured Bacchus as a black god, because he was adored by the black Egyptians. The Bacchus of the Greeks was the Horus of the Egyptians.

Miller and Elect His Outspoken Associate Professor at O. S. U. a member of Its Executive Committee. Washington, D. C.—The American Sociological society, last week Thursday, elected to its executive committee Dr. Herbert A. Miller of Oberlin, O. A., and assistant director of Ohio State university in ousting him as professor of sociology because of his views on the equality of races. DR HERBERT A MILLER It also adopted a resolution commending Dr. J. E. Hagerty, Ohio State university professor, for his "courageous stand for academic freedom" in opposing the ousting of his former colleague. Members said Dr. Miller was dismissed for his free speech question." Last week Friday, the society adopted a resolution condemning his ousting from the O. S. U. faculty and named Dr. J. E. Hagerty to its executive committee. USING OUR MOB VIOLENCE ACT Two Suits Filed Against the County As Skiing $5,000 Each—One Death and the Other, Serious Injury. As announced in The Gazette, last week, Atty. Chester K. Gillespie, week before last, filed suit in Common Plaintiff against the county, asking $5,000 damages, under the Honor. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Mob Vi- lence Act or Anti-Lynching law, for Chas. Russo, administrator of the estate of Michael Lo Bosco (Italian), who died from the effects of shot-gun slugs fired into him, May 9, in front of his grocery at 14707 Kinsman Rd. This week, Gillespie followed that suit with another, under the same law, asking the same amount of damages from the county for Tony Horton who was "put on the spot". Nov. 28, '31, and so seriously injured that an arm had to be amputated. He received 17 slugs, and is still in Charity hospital slowly recovering. His companion, Frank McAlliffe (white) was killed.

The editor of The Gazette gratefully acknowledges the receipt of the usual "merry Christmas and happy New Year check on the Bank of Prosperity," sent annually for many years by our long-time friend and highly esteemed confre, Wm.

City, announces that its figures "show seventy-nine lynchings and assassinations by mobs and larger or smaller groups, and thirty-two shot by police on any or no pretext," while the N. A. A. C. P. "admits only fourteen lynchings and Tuskegee Institute only 13 lynchings," last year. In explanation of its figures, the Crusader News Agency says there were "countless lynchings in neighborhoods where there is no press, and word of them never reaches the outside world;" that even its figures of "seventy-nine and thirty-two are far below the actual total because they do not include, for example, the seventy-five lynchings and shootings in Alabama alone, reported in a secret document by one Howard A. Kester of the Fellowship of Reconciliation." CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY. The National Equal Rights League headquarters in Boston, in urging that Frederick Douglass' birthday be celebrated, this year as usual, because "his was an ideal character from the standpoint of the race's contention against inequality and proscription, since, in his own person and remarkable career, he exemplified the innate, physical, intellectual and moral equality of the Afro-American with all other races, classes or groups of Americans." It also very properly adds that Douglass was also a benefactor of the country. All of which is very true. That Douglass was our grandest character in American history, cannot be questioned. In the days of Douglass, Langton, Price and their co-workers of color, no leader of the race dared to assume the compromise attitude of about all of the so-called racial leaders of today. "Jim-crow Negroes" did not dare to "poke their heads above the surface." Just as these "boot-licking" disregards to the race have increased so has the race's progress been retarded, in the last 25 years. THE SCOTTSBORO CASE. The withdrawal of the N. A. A. C. P. attorneys, Arthur Garfield Hays and Clarence Darrow, from the Scottaboro, Ala., case, into which the organization "crashed," does not surprise us in the least. Its effort to force the International Labor Defense people to turn over to the N. A. A. C. P. the control of the conduct of the case of the eight of our boys condemned to death, was an exhibition of "nerve and gall" we doubt that we have ever witnessed in our near fifty years experience as an editor and publisher. The I. L. D. was first in the field in the effort to save the lives of the boys who at that time had been sentenced to be electrocuted in July of last year. The organization was put in charge of their defense by the boys' parents or nearest relatives. Of this fact the N. A. A. C. P. was aware, and still in an effort to wrest the control of the conduct of the case from the I. L. D. secured the services of Darrow and Hays in an effort to "crash" into it, instead of co-operating with Col. Geo. W. Chamlee, in charge of the case for the I. L. D. It is now up to Secretary Walter L. White of the N. A. A. C. P., since Darrow and Hays have "withdrawn from the case" (they were never really in), to comply with the re- quest of Cecil S. Hope, secretary of the Scottsboro defense committee of the I. L. D., to turn over to his committee and account for all funds collected by him and the N. A. A. C. P. in the name of the Scottsboro case. This, of course, Mr. White will do promptly, as a matter of fairness and justice to the eight innocent youths condemned to die in the electric chair for a crime they never committed. We have never been able to fully understand why the N. A. A. C. P. followed the very questionable course, in this matter, it has for some months. It reminds me of somewhat like action, on its part, in the Bundy case an aftermath of the E. St. Louis riot of years ago when it refused to help in that effort because it was not given control, even the they sought to enter it long after others had taken the initiative. This "rule or ruin" policy of the N. A. A. C. P. should be abandoned. Surely it is open to the severest criticism and condemnation of all fair-minded persons. --- A POLITICAL "BOBBLEGUSH." Rev. D. O. Walker, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, this city, who several years ago and soon after his arrival in Cleveland, "crashed" into local politics, before he could vote here, as a stout supporter of Mr. Maurice Maschke and the local Republican organization, later turned against the masses of our people in this community, with a number of our other local ministers, to fight the charter amendment. He followed that by bitterly attacking Mr. Maschke and supporting the charter amendment, last fall. SUNDAY afternoon found him advocating the nomination of an independent Democrat (Peter Witt), as a candidate for mayor, at a meeting of the local U. N. I. A. (Garveyites) in Liberty hall in E. 40th St. near Cedar Ave. In his speech, Walker said: "If there ever was a party that hurt a race, this Republican party has hurt my race." In all fairness he should have added, that there ever was a party that HELPED his race it is the Republican party which has done more for our people than all the other political parties combined and, too, since the war of the rebellion, since 67 years ago. Walker has switched from one person to another, from one party to another, and from one thing to another so often in the few years he has been a resident of this community, and has been such a political "bobblegush" during this time, that he has reached the point in his local career where very few of our people take seriously almost anything he says of a political nature. He has, too, very greatly lowered his standing as a minister of the gospel in this city. While Peter Witt has said some good things, he has never DONE anything that would justify any of our people, even those who pretend to be Democrats, in supporting his candidacy in preference to that of Dr. F. W. Walz who is also an independent candidate for mayor and who, as councilman, showed and proved his earnest and sincere interest in the progress of our people when he secured the adoption of his resolution in City Council, the first of year before last, opening the City hospital for the training of our youth in common with those of all other residents of this city. The Rev. D. O. Walker is wrong, as usual. MRS. W. H. LUCAS DEAD. Wife of Prof. W. H. Lucas, Town Clerk for Fort-Eight Years, and One of Our Leading Citizens of Southern Ohio. Cadiz.

And Atty, Arthur Garfield Hays, His Associate, "Follows Suit"—Both Out of the Scottsboro Case. Birmingham, Ala.—Clarence Darrow left here, last Tuesday, for home (Chicago) after failing to reach an agreement, with representatives of the International Labor Defense, to lead the defense of the eight innocent boy-victims, under death sentences at Scottsboro on framed charges of criminally assaulting two white prostitutes on a freight train. All were "hoboing" a ride on a train near Scottsboro, this state. Arthur Garfield Hays, a former牢房师, was employed by the N. A. A. C. P. in an effort to "erash" into the case and take its control from the I. L. D. Hays indicated that he and Darrow might be willing to drop their connections if the legal representatives of the I. L. D. would do likewise. Representatives of the latter organization very properly refused to do this. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, U. SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1932.

AL Our mor-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the nationality of the law, and it has been Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "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 Section 6279. (viii 8.14) Section 6279.

(93 v. 163.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 13.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette, we print below the text of the Hoh, Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law, which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. Sec. 12240. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the persecutor in any court 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. Prime Sport News "Gorilla," Next Champion. The National Boxing association conducted a tournament in Milwaukee to find a middleweight champion after Mickey Walker resigned the post and "Gorilla" Jones, of Akron, stands out as the favorite to annex the honors, having fought his way to the final round, which is scheduled for early this month. Our Champions. Kid Chocolate, junior lightweight champion, is our ninth fighter to hold a world title, the others being Jack Johnson, Battling Ski, Tiger Flowers, Joe Wolcott, Jack Thompson, Joe Gans, George Dixon and Al Brown. A few weeks ago, Canzoneri really lost his title to Kid Chocolate soon after the latter had taken Bass' 130-pound championship. Tony was arbitrarily given the decision in spite of the fact that the consensus of opinion of experts at the ringside favored the Kid, big. It was one of the greatest fights ever seen for the lightweight championship.

GEORGIA "I OWE IT ALL TO HI-JA" Case at the Cathedral Latin gym, last Saturday night. Case won by 33 to 28 but had to put up a rear-end fight as its lead was steadily cut down in the race against time. But, upon amassed a lead of 16 points the Scales had to hang on, although in the last 10 minutes of play they were able to score only two points, both on fouls. Dawson was certainly the outstanding man on the floor. He made six goals and four foul shots for a total of 16 (of the 28) points for Carroll. Only one floor goal was as far out as the foul line, all the others being from right under the basket, where he maneuvered himself, either by a pivot and dribble or by a fast break. Once, with his back to his own goal, he tossed the ball with one hand, back over his head and into the basket. At all times he was the center of the Carroll attack and his dribbling and cutting gained him many chances from the foul line and forced Lou Moore, Case's star center, out on personal, and then on the basket, when he had of ten tries from the foul line, and those misses were costly. He was a star athlete at Collinwood High school before going to John Carroll.

Fletcher's CASTORIA A What a joy to have the bowels move like clockwork, every day! It's easy, if you mind these simple rules of a famous old doctor: 1. Be big a tumblerful of water before breakfast, and several times a day. 2. Get plenty of exercise without unduly fatiguing yourself. 3. Try for a bowel movement at exactly the core of every day. Everyone's bowels need help at times, but the thing to use is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Then you'll get a good cleaning-out, and it won't leave your insides weak and watery. This family doctor's prescription is made from fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin, and other hotel ingredients that couldn't hurt a child. But how it will wake up those lazy bowels!

A change of venue has been secured in the Baltimore court of appeals for "Orphan Jones" (Yuel Lee), the aged farm-hand framed on a fake-murder charge and sentenced to death, several months ago, on the "eastern shore" in Maryland. One of our esteemed contemporaries asks the question, "what will Democrats offer the 'Negro' in 1932?" Judging from experiences in the past, it doesn't make any difference what they will offer, because after the election they will refuse to "deliver," just as they always do in national state and local affairs, and it is about time our leading newspapers, at least, were recognizing this fact. A very interesting and enjoyable reception was tendered the new pastor of St. John A. M. E. church, Rev. J. O. Hathcox, Wednesday evening. An excellent program, which included speeches and music, was rendered by Judge John P. Dempsey, Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette; and Rev. James P. Foote. Atty. John E. Ballard presided. Democrats are protesting the appointment of eight Republicans to City Council's rules committee. Councilman Peter Relder, Democratic floor-leader, says: "Marshall pretends to be fair, but he sometimes isn't." Why "holler," he says? Look what he says after casting the votes necessary to elect Marshall to all he has, politically, he didn't appoint any Afro-Councilman to this committee. Gratitude a la Marshall! SEE? The dinner tendered Congressman Oscar DePriest in the P. W. A. cafeteria, early Saturday evening, was a social success. His short talk was a feature. Later in the evening, he addressed about 400 people in Woodland Center, taking "Communism" and introducing a new book by Congressman Chester C. Bolton, while the other speaker, Acting Mayor Harold H. Burton, was introduced by Atty. Alex. H. Martin. Atty. Burton, whose subject was "Citizenship," made decidedly the best talk of the evening, all things considered. Rev. J. O. Hathcox of St. Johns A. M. E. church delivered the opening address, and the evening was sponsored by Editor Cheeks of the Cleveland Guide, and the dinner by Wm. R. Conners, secretary of the local Urban League.

IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, for a naming even sexual rights today. At home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without set objectives and guits." The world respects only those who resent and resist prescriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however-long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. A Soft, Glossy and Beautiful PORO Does It! Soft, Glossy and Beautiful PORO Does It!

(Prepared by National Geographic Society. one that looks with favor upon the edible qualities of the oyster. At our THE Chesapeake bay oyster grounds are today resounding with the clank of thousands of oyster tongs, and tons of oysters, destined to satisfy man's craving for the luscious bivalves, are shuffling into the holds of the bay's oyster fleet. Oysters are the most popular and most extensively eaten of all shellfish; economically, they are the most important of all cultivated water products, and, with the single exception of the sea herrings, the most valuable of all aquatic animals. In at least thirty-five countries oysters support a special fishery, and in various other countries enter into the food supply. On the shores of all the temperate and tropical oceans and seas, oysters occur in greater or less abundance; but the supply in the North Atlantic exceeds that of all the other waters combined. Not less than one hundred and fifty thousand men and women are engaged in the oyster industry; and the capital invested in vessels, boats, apparatus, oyster lands, and cultural establishments aggregates many million dollars. The oyster crop of the world amounts to over twenty-two million bushels. Of this output the share of the United States's 70 per cent. Of the remaining portion the greater part belongs to France. Oysters produce an immense number of young in order to compensate for the heavy mortality that occurs at all stages of growth, but particularly in the early months. It is an astonishing fact that in some species of oyster each sex is represented by a different individual, as in the oyster of the Atlantic coast of North America; while in other species both sexes are united in one individual—the male stage alternating with the female, as in the common oyster of the Atlantic coast of Europe. After the oyster attains a size that is visible to the unalued eye, it is incapable of changing its position. This is in marked contrast with the newly born young, which is a free-swimming creature, floating about with tides, and currents, and quite as likely to settle down on a far-distant bank or bar as to rejoin its progenitors. How the Young Are Saved. Of the millions of microscopic young liberated by a single full-grown oyster, only an exceedingly small percentage become attached to a suitable bottom, form a shell, and enter on a career that will terminate on the table in two to four years. When the temperature, density, tides, and currents are favorable, the young will settle on an existing bar or bed, covering the shells of the old oysters and any other hard substances or objects that may be present. All the young that fall on a muddy or soft sandy bottom, or on surfaces that are slimy, are lost. Oyster culture therefore alms primarily to conserve the free-swimming young, which it accomplishes by sowing clean oyster shells or other "clutch" to which the "spat" can attach, or by collecting the young on tiles or brush raised above the bottom or suspended between surface and bottom. Oysters have been under culture longer than any other shellfish and, indeed, than any other water creature. A simple type of cultivation, with the formation of artificial beds, flourished in China at a very remote period and probably antedated by some centuries the inception of oyster culture in Italy, about the year 100 B. C. With the advance of civilization and the increase in population, oysters were in greater demand and of necessity came under cultivation in all the important maritime countries of Europe, where, at the present time, fully 90 per cent of the output represents oysters that have undergone some kind of culture. In other parts of the Old world the growing of oysters by artificial means has become an important industry, while in the western hemisphere oyster farming has progressed to such a point that the annual crop now exceeds the total product of the rest of the world. Oysters are thus become the most extensively cultivated of all aquatic animals, and the yearly product of the oyster farms is many times more valuable than that of all other aquicultural operations combined. Has Hordes of Enemies. The cultivation of oysters is made necessary by the exhausting of the natural beds; it is made possible by private ownership or control of oyster-producing bottoms; and it is greatly facilitated by the peculiar susceptibility of oysters to increase and improvement by artificial means. The human animal is not the only one that looks with favor upon the edible qualities of the oyster. At every stage in its career it is attacked by a horde of dangerous enemies, some of which are most destructive after the oyster has put on its stoutest armor and would seem to be almost invulnerable. Before it becomes attached, the delicate oyster fry is extensively consumed by adult oysters and various other shellfish, as well as by fishes like the menhaden, which are able to strain their food from the water. When the oyster attains its shell, a new set of shellfish enemies, provided with drills, begin their attacks and extract the soft parts through minute holes made in valves. The oyster growers of Long Island sound and adjacent waters suffer large losses from the inroads of starfishes, which come in from deep water and move in waves over the bottom, devouring every oyster in their path and sometimes destroying several hundred thousand bushels of marketable oysters in one state in a single season. Other enemies of the grown oyster are fishes with powerful jaws armed with crushing teeth. On the Atlantic coast the most destructive fish is the black drum, a school of which may literally clean out an oyster bed in one night. On the Pacific coast a species of stingray is the chief offender. Further damage is done to oysters by the encroachments of mussels, barnacles, sponges, etc., which sometimes occur so densely on the shells as to cut off food and oxygen and thus greatly retard the growth of the oysters. In any consideration of the world's oyster industry the United States necessarily receives first and most prominent mention, for there is no country in which oysters occupy a more important place. The output here is larger and more valuable than elsewhere, and the relative importance of oysters compared with the total fishery product is greater. Furthermore, among the leading oyster-producing countries the cost of oysters to the consumer is less than the per capita consumption is greater in the United States. Additional evidence of the conspicuous position held by the oyster is seen in the facts (1) that it is taken in every coastal state except one; (2) that in fifteen states it is the chief fishery product, and (3) that it is the most extensively cultivated of our aquatic animals. Great Industry in America. The annual oyster output at this time is about 17,000,000 bushels, with a value to the producers of nearly $13,000,000. The yield increased 70 per cent in quantity between 1880 and 1912. During the past decade there has been a slow decrease in the size of the crop. The limit of production has perhaps been practically reached in certain states, and in most states the industry is capable of great expansion. In recent years the South Atlantic and G.. states have experienced a noteworthy augmentation of yield as a result of increased appreciation of the oyster resources and increased encouragement given to oyster culture. The seven leading oyster states at this time are Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Mississippi and Louisiana in each of which the production ranges from a million bushels upwards. Maryland is the ranking state. The rank early attained by the United States in the oyster industry was due to the great area of the oyster beds; but the maintenance of that rank depends on the general adoption of oyster culture as the only certain means of insuring a yearly increasing crop that will keep pace with the increasing demand. Of the oyster markets last year, 50 per cent came from private or cultivated grounds. Owing, however, to the improvement in the quality and shape of oysters by cultivation, the product of the private beds represented 70 per cent of the total value of the yield of market oysters. While the quantity of oysters taken from cultivated grounds in the United States is larger than in all the remainder of the world, yet the proportion of such oysters to the total output is much smaller than in any other important oyster-producing country. Wherever the fishery is active and the demand great, the necessity for artificial measures to maintain the supply sooner or later becomes manifest. Some of the states long since ceased to place reliance on natural beds as sources of supply, and encouraged oyster culture by leasing or selling all available grounds to prospective oyster farmers, and each year other states are falling in line for progressive methods.

Corduroy Plays Chic Sports Role Corduroy Plays Chic Sports Role By CHERIE NICHOLAS 1920s LOCALE FERD PARK AND again fashion's pendulum swings to a favorite in days of yore. This time it is corduroy which is staging a conspicuous comeback, in that leading style creators of the present day are sponsoring it for their smartest spectator and active sports modes. Once corduroy was heavy stuff that lumberjack preferred. Now it has a social entree at the smartest functions. For lounging pajamas, for the utilitarian jacket suit, for sports coats, blouses, scarfs, bags and accessories in general it is corduroy which is finding its way into high places these days. But the corduroy we speak of is corduroy with a difference. At most it is but a fifth cousin to the stalwart ribbed cotton fabric which once we knew. Soft, lightweight and with a velvet surface, the corduroy which is making appeal to the smart set of the now drapes with the easy grace and elegance that the modern style-wise woman demands. It is good to see how gaily corduroy is "flying the colors." Such rich dark greens and beautiful wine tones as go to make up the wide range of bright shades as are in the landscape of the new winter corduroys. Black, too, if you so choose and the modish reds or if you prefer the subtle pastel tones and tints, just ask to see them, and then while your eyes are feasting on their loveliness, pause far a moment to consider the chic and the charm of the swanky white corduroy which 'tis said will be quite the rage for winter resort wear. For coats and suits the wide wate corduroy is most popular. This type SAILOR HAT IS "IN" By CHERIE NICHOLAS Again we have the sailor but it's our midst. It returns as an exponent of the new narrow-brim types which are now so fashionable. The model pictured emphasizes a recent trend which trims felt with flowers. Most of these tric chic sailors are worn tilted. Advance midseason and winter resort straws include many sailors. Feather Gives a Smart Touch to Hat and Frock Footh to Hat and Frock The feather points the way to smartness. Not only on the hat, but on the evening frock does the feather appear. Very small is an ensemble of white feathers, both feather trimmed. White ostrich shows petticat fashion as a border from beneath the semi-trailing heen. The jacket is fitted and flared with a fuzzy collar of white ostrich. Jackets Are Now Worn With Evening Gowns Whether women as a class have revolted or not cannot be ascertained but the fact remains that they no longer consent to shiver in evening gowns. There is a jacket with every other dress seen where smart people are gathering and many of these little nothingnesses are trimmed with bands of fur which at least makes them warm looking. Your Copy or an Acqu LOEW - FEDERAL FASHION offers snug comfort especially where north winds "do blow," yet it drapes readily in the trim, wide-shouldered silhouette of Schaperrell's wooden-soldier models, which are so voguish just now. For afternoon wear the softer, lightweight hollow-cut corduroy is favored. In this new weave the pile is almost flat, with the wale narrow and lustrous, giving the effect of velvet. For sports apparel several new kinds of narrow-wale velvet corduroy share the spotlight with the wider wale varieties. Ski suits, skating costumes, riding habits and spectator costumes use these weaves. Pique corduroy with tiny wales just visible under close scrutiny is popular for street and sports wear. Corduroy coats lined with lamb's wool or angora, which have been prominent in the football cheering sections, are now leading in the lineup for the Olympic games at Lake Placid. The coat shown to the left in the picture is of this swanky sort. It is of chocolate brown corduroy, lined with lamb's wool in natural tone. The nifty laced-across sports shoes which are fleece-lined will banish cold feet from the cheering sections, while the handsome coat will guarantee smart comfort in even a way-below temperature. Wide waled brown corduroy, combined with yellow angora, fashions the stunning spectator sports (clever for skating, too) model pictured to the right. A bolero jacket of the corduroy tops the turtle-necked angora blouse. A yellow and brown angora turban and shamrocks gloves complete the ensemble. (©) 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) BRIGHT COLORS IN FAVOR FOR WINTER Fashion has come out for color for winter wear—gay, vivid, brilliant colors, with red predominating. All shades of red from the rust and tangerine shades to geranium, cerise, apple red, a shade that used to be called American beauty, and down to the wine colors. Purple, also, is very smart. There are bright greens and soft greens. Blue is insistent and very bright. A blue which used to be royal blue now has a counterpart in banner blue. These colors are seen in all types of dresses, beginning with the tailored dress with long sleeves to wear with the street coat. Afternoon dresses are particularly lovely in colors, and the bright-colored evening dress is gaining ground every day. A red evening dress is one of the things that make losing beauty sleep worth while. It is becoming to every one because whatever the color or type one can always find a shade of red that is becoming. Whatever You Wear You Cannot Be Far Wrong Suits and gowns this year the either classically plain or orientally rich in trimming. The plain are enhanced by self drapings, intricate sleeve effects, cow or scarf necklines, gathered, or pleated fullness in the 'skirt. The trimmed feature incrustations on the bodice, deep fur collars, cuffs, hip and hem edgings, or sleeves, half fur or half gold or silver embroidered crepe. Clips, buckle, buttons, ruchings of lace, edging of fringe, and bows and sashes are used. Flowers. Lace Used to Adorn Satin Slippers Dainty velvet and silk flowers and lace medallions are being used for decoration on the satin slippers worn with the formal tea gowns or pajama ensemble. One pair of flame satin with gold kid insteps had the toes covered with a heavy white lace pattern. It resembled an old-fashioned valentine. y of The aintance w SOME OF THE MANY Letters Relative to the Editor's Probable Candidacy for Congressman-at-Large—Do Our People Really Want It? Columbus, O., Dec. 26, '31. Hon, Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir: I have been told you were thinking of running for Congressman-at-Large, next year. If you do, I am with you and will try and get you some help. We need a man of your type—who is not afraid to fight. Would be glad to hear from you. Columbus, O., Dec. 6th, 1931. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Harry:—I am sending the enclosed clipping from the "Sunday Dispatch" and hope that the candidacy statement it contains is absolutely true: "Since Ohio is to elect two Congressmen-at-Large, this fall, the very large population of colored people in this state, which numbers, according to the U. S. census of 1930, more than three hundred thousand, feel that at least one of the two should be a member of their race or group. The Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, their outstanding state figure in Ohio politics, for six years, a member of the Ohio State Assembly, and their candidate on several occasions, in recent years, for the Republican nomination for both various offices, become a candidate for Congressman-at-Large. It will be recalled that about ten years ago Mr. Smith, when a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, his first effort to be elected to a state office, polled in excess of sixty thousand votes. Mr. Smith has edited and published The Cleveland Gazette for nearly fifty years and is the father of Ohio's Mob Violence Act or Anti-Lynching Law, and Ohio's Civil Rights Law, two measures of the greatest importance to his people in this state. The letter requests, right him to become a candidate for Congressman-at-Large, be seriously considered by Editor Smith who expects to announce his decision in the matter soon after the first of the year." To my mind it is the most important racial step that has been taken in years. It is highly opportune as it is taken immediately after one of those abnormal political upheavals in which my people played no small part and received scant recognition thereafter. Gov. Geo. White has made one Negro appointment since he came to the capitol—Roy White, messenger in his office. For a few weeks after his seating, the halls and corridors leading to his office were thronged with the "promised and expectant" of my folk, but as time waned they got scarcer and rarer. They are realizing the difference. He is realizing in his office, and I have seen that none of them have to get farther than the messenger's desk. The Willie contingent has not paid one visit. Compared to this was the almost daily visit of some Negro of worth, and his admission to the privacy of Gov. Cooper's inner sanctum. He made more outstanding Negro appointments than any other Governor in my "short" political life and any that have been politically removed have been replaced. I have seen pages in this letter showing the differences, but such is not my aim. I want to write about you. I have thot about the congressional chance for days and scanned mentally the men we could present and how we could win. Strangely my thoughts were of you and 'mirbile dictu' out comes The probable entrance of your probable entry. Well, you are the man to present and you are the man that has the ability to represent our race, and if you can't win, no other one can I have been pondering over the style and manner of a winner's campaign and find the lessons I learned in fifteen years at Republican state headquarters are worthwhile. Every church, lodge, society organization, in fact every Negro in the 4,000 precincts in the state should be informed of your candidacy. It is possible to do this. I will not write further other than to say I am enthusiastic and think you can win. Sincerely your friend. Bart J. Guyder. A CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE. The 1930 U. S. census gives the Afro-American population of Ohio as 309,304 and the number of Afro-Americans of voting age as 199,291, which really means that our state population is at least 325,000 and that our real number of voting age in Ohio is more than 200,000. Figuring from almost any angle our Ohio population and voting strength, this latter especially as a potent factor of the Republican party of the state, proves beyond the shadow of a doubt the fact that we are entitled to one of the two Congressmen-at-Large to be elected in November next. If our men and women voters of this state would only register and vote as they should, they could easily bring about the nomination of one of their number, this fall, and elect him a member of the Congress to help represent the great state of Ohio and at the same time give them much-needed direct representation in that law-making body of the land. Subscribe NOW! OUR VOTE, DR. BYRD SAYS SHOULD CENTER AROUND A BETTER DEAL TO BE SECURED FROM PARTY LEADERS BEFORE ELECTION, NEXT NOVEMBER. Prefers Negotiating With the Republican Party Defeat Prejudiced Candidates for Congress Who Do Not Defend and Try to Protect the Race. (Special to the Gazette.) Jersey City, N. J. "The Presidential campaign, that will engage the attention of the American people during the next ten months, is the most important since the campaign that produced Abraham Lincoln. The present plight of this country is due to its participating in European affairs, a thing George W. Bush warned against it now. It now, discharged the advice of the wiser father of this country, and the question now is, what shall we do? The Republican party is torn asunder and the Democratic party is very little better. Prohibition that cannot be enforced, because we lack the morale to do so, may be the rock upon which our bark may be torn to pieces. Out of prohibition has come a low morality, a depravity that monopolizes a decentring disrespect for law. Those insisting upon keeping it as it is, are playing into the hands of the bootleggers, gunmen, gangsters and beer-kings. A nation, famous in years gone by, for its religious ideals and exalted morals, is now staggering under a burden of wickedness and profanity which is fast undoing it. Added to this is the sad fact that of nations, financial king of the world, and holds the destiny of the civilized world in its hands even though it is threatened with a flood of poisonous rum that is unsexing it. Partisan and political advantage has made cowards out of the two great political parties. Neither has the courage of its convictions, but is waiting to profit by the mistakes of the other for no other purpose than to make a mock of the nation and make a mock of governing the country. It is time now that plain talk be given and sham statesmen be swept aside for the The prohibition amendment, however ideal it is, cannot be enforced by any civilized nation in the world, and especially by America. The thing to do with this amendment is to repeal the Volstodact Act and allow prohibition and its amendment to take its chances along side of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the U. S. Constitution. This country cannot and will not enforce either the fourteenth, fifteenth or eighteenth amendments. Religion not yet held hold of the Church in America to such an extent that its followers will sacrificingly and herodically enforce any law that will place all races on equality before the law. HABITS. Guests and Hosts—Personal Cleanliness. It is imperative that every guest should look after his personal toilet. Slovenness in dress, failing to wash the face, neglecting to use the tooth brush, having dirt-filled finger nails, and the wearing of soiled clothes are inexcusable errors. Often women go from their rooms and even to their meals wearing kilonos and bedroom slippers. There are many persons who forget to wash out the bath tub or washbowl after using it. Women often are careless to the extent of putting too much powder and ronge on their faces giving the appearance of uncleanliness. And there are very, very many persons who fail to bathe and for that reason have body odor. A young woman went to visit a family of people who were very fond of her, but she was so sloven that after two days they wished she had not come. She dreaded the bath, was careless in regard to changing underwear; she would leave her soiled clothes everywhere in sight, she would not clean her tech nor wash her clothes, and girls growing up in the home and was sorely displeased to have such an example set for them. Do you wonder that she was anxious to get this young woman out of her house? ent both political parties are angling for southern white votes in the unconstitutionally governed section, and this disqualifies them to handle the country, as it is today. As this nation is governed by a two-party system, it is necessary for every voter who would have his vote count, to choose the lesser of the two evils. In doing this every voter should seek to purge his party of hypocrites and demagogues, now prevalent, and to replace them with the best men possible. A strong hand, like Lincoln, Roosevelt or Mark Manna, must take the reins of the Republican party and lead fearlessly. The Negro vote of this nation, as now scattered, may be the deciding vote in this coming election. Ohio, Indiana, New York, Delaware, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Kentucky and Missouri can be swayed by this vote. It is now time for the Negro to learn political burgaling! We can live in America if a Democrat like Ben Till Dr. William A. Byrd. man be elected. It may be with much hardship; nevertheless, we could pull through. But our vote this time should center around a better deal for the Negro and we should secure this deal BEFORE election and not wait upon promises of action after election. The writer believes the Negro voter can get better results from the Republican party than the Democratic. To do this, we must elect or defeat all men, who aspire for Senator or Representative, who will not give us the same square deal they give other voters. The day has passed when white men, elected from sections outside of the south by our votes, can sit in Congress and hear southern Senators and Representatives, illegally elected Democrats, from sections outside of the very serious charge, and not come to our defense and protection by speaking out and more especially by voting against our traductors. President Hoover has not given the race its representative share of appetitive offices. The reason: Senators from those states where we vote have not demanded a fair share for us. The trouble is not with Mr. Hoover but with our U. S. Senators. Let us cure this evil, before the next election! In addition, it is expected of every President to think kindly of and deal justly and fairly with every racial group in this country. We are not speaking about social affairs, but state affairs, where our votes demand that we deal justly and fairly what we are going to do until as a political force we have planned together what and how to do in order to get what is ours. Let us organize, not for a few slush-fund dollars but for human rights long denied. The slush-fund fiends, let us refuse to bother with but placard them as "dollar-seekers for themselves at the expense of their own group. These Husbands of Ours Lack of Courtesy. One of the wonders of the world is how a man changes after he is married—in this matter of courtesy. Courteous and gallant "before taking", he becomes woefully negligent and careless "after taking". Before marriage Mr. Average Man would not think of allowing his girl to carry a package of any weight; he would assist and serve her to save her from inconvenience. But after marriage, he wants his wife to bring in the coal, to scrub the floor and to do all the drudgery. He calls her husband personally, yet he puts these burdens on her. To any other woman he would show his gallantry and courtesy, but would be derelict toward his own wife! But who can understand a man?—The Literary Service Bureau. "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 baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wella.
