MUSE "GOIN" SOME."
Has Appeared in Several Fine Photoplayls and Given One of the Ten Best of the Season—Well-Merited Praise.
Hollywood, Cal.—Clarence Muse, who gave some excellent screen portrayals, last year, has been selected by critics here as having given one of the ten best legitimate performances of the season in Dubose Heyward's play, "Porgy." Muse had a part in "Dirigible," and appeared in the picture and German versions of this picture as well as in the English film. One of his best performances is given as a duo in the Knowsmith" in which he appears with Helen Hayes, Ronald Colman and Richard Bennett. When Muse is not busy before a studio microphone, he spends his time before one at a broadcasting station. He is a well known radio-singer and author of one of the season's most popular song-hits—"When It's Sleepy Time Down South."

They are still putting up screens between colored and white patients at City hospital, so The Rounder was reliably informed, early this week, by both colored and white patients of the institution. We that our three councilmen had long since stopped this aggravating insulting custom there. Ask Councilmen why they do not stop the nefarious practice. Surely they must know of it.
An old reader of this paper informs us that she went into the Cedar Cut Rate Market, cor. E. 83d St., Saturday evening, and purchased two pounds of steak. The clerk (Jewish) weighed it and said "two pounds. 44c." A sign in the window announced "all steakes at 19c a pound." She asked him why it was so good in the doe and replied "38 cents." All of which means watch the scales when you make purchases in any store where they are used to weigh what you want.
I. O. Ford made decidedly the best speech over the radio, at the City Club last Saturday, of the five candidates for nomination for mayor—from our viewpoint or standpoint. His frequent references to our people, all of which were pleasing, must have given the local daily newspapers the proverbial "headache" because all of them "released absurdly British india" in his and the Communists' interest in the welfare of our people and that of every other class or group in the community.
In speaking, in the interest of the Morgan candidacy, at the hall, cor. E. 93d St. and Central Ave., during the recent primary campaign, Dr. James K. Nickens referred to Rev. D. O. Walker, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, as one of the "unfavored independent Democrats" to allow Walker in the primary, said that Walker "had better resign and return to the islands." Walker has the unhappy faculty of getting on the wrong side of about everything. He was on both sides of the charter amendment, opposing it when it was voted out, some weeks ago. He has been for and against the Republican party, for and against Mr. Maurice Maschke, local Republican leader, all in the last year or so, and supported Walker in the primary campaign which closed, Tuesday, etc., etc. Many people feel that it is high time for St. James to get a new pastor—one less active in all kinds of politics and more closely allied to its church-work and other Christian duties.
BOYDSTON FOST HONORED.
Lemuel T. Boydston Post attended Antioch Baptist church, Sunday, to be honored for its welfare and community work and to help celebrate the 39th anniversary of the church. The pastor, Rev. W. H. McKinney, a member of the post, praised the organization for its recent orphans' annual Xmas dinner, etc. He urged his people to boost the post. The American Legion program was read by Commander Wallace E. Stokes, Samuel V. Perry sang an obligato solo with the choir which also rendered several special numbers. The Post's officers were introduced and Vice-Commander "Jim" Williams very highly complimented upon his member-getting ability and for the disposal of tickets for the Xmas dinner.
Miss Ucola Robertson visited in Mansfield, recently.
GEN. CHAMLEE
WAS ASTOUNDED!
As a Result of Many Harsh Statements Against the Government of Communist Speakers at Sundara's "Scottsboro"
New York City.—The mass meeting, Sunday afternoon, at the Star Casino, called by the International Labor Defense, in protest against the conviction and sentencing to the electric chair of the nine "Scottborsons" boys of color on a framed-up charge of attacking two white prostitutes, "hobbing" on a freight train in Alabama, proved a revelation to Col. Geo. W. Chamlee, former Attorney General of Tennessee, who heads the five lawyers engaged by the I. L. D. to obtain a new trial for the innocent youths. A demand was made by N.A. C. P. to turn to the I. L. D. all the funds the former had collected for the boys' defense, and a collection of about $200 was taken up in the meeting for the same purpose.
Other speakers, colored and white, attacked the South as the home of "bloody Bourbons, those Fascist murderers," and "Ku-Kluxer wild beasts," at which Mr. Chamlee, from Chattanooga, a democrat and a Baptist, shifted rather uncomfortably in his seat. His eyes widened somewhat as he heard J. Louis Engdahl, secretary of the I. L. D., say that it was their task to tie up the Southborough landlords, with the struggle for bread and for jobs, so that we can eventually draw 10,000,000 American workers into the class struggle and move on to victory.
His face was a study as Mrs. Sadie Van Veen called for "more solidarity, more protest, and for Negroes and whites to fight together and to die together in the struggle that must continue until the workers come into control, when there will be no color question, no foreign-born question; when we shall all be brothers and comrades under a workers' government." Richard B. Moore, from the Barbados, spoke of organizing street demonstrations and said that "there is only one war we have to fight, and that is the war of the working class against the ruling class."
When Gen. Chamile finally arose to speak he unrolled his six feet and more of spare frame and in a pronounced southern accent told the meeting that he was a Democrat and a Baptist, and that his ideas did not coincide with theirs on many things. "This has been a revelation to me," he said. "I am not like it." Some of the crowd laughed. "I reserve to myself the right to have my opinions, just as I accord you the right to hold yours. I am going to do my utmost in the defense of these boys, carrying the case to the United States Supreme Court, if necessary. But I am employed and am acting as an attorney only in this case, and as an attorney I do not think that there should be any outside demonstrations concerning a case in court, in my hands," he said, by presentation and argument of the case, to make the demonstration of the innocence of those boys."
Other speakers were B. D. Amis, of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights; Lowell Wakefield and Joseph R. Brodsky. Carl Hacker, head of the New York district of the I. L. D., presided.
DOINGS OF THE RACE.
Next Thursday, Jan. 21, the Scottsboro case will be heard in the Alabama supreme court. A new trial will be asked.
Cab Calloway and his Harlem, N. Y. City orchestra, that were admitted to the Lucky Strike hour over the radio (NBC), the first of the year, did not remain long as we predicted in our issue of Jan. 2. 732. The orchestra's playing and "singing" was a great disappointment to many radio listeners.
Morris Wickman, N. Y. seaman; Sam, Langford, Gary steel-worker; A. J. Lewis, Ohio steel-worker; Mrs. Lillian Lynch, head of the women's auxiliary of the national miner's union in Pittsburgh, and John Robertson, coal-miner of Cloverdale, Pa. were the Afro-American delegates to the 14th anniversary celebration, of the establishment of Soviet power, held several months ago in Russia.
Very Costly Advice
Chicago, Ill. — Walcott Langford of this city, once a middleweight boxing threat, was a good fighter because he took advice in the ring. But he did this once too often. Troubled with an eye infection, Langford related his troubles to an aged woman who advised a certain application which caused the loss of his sight. He makes a living selling papers at boxing shows and still retains his cheerful sunny disposition.

At First Refused to Enlist "Negro" Soldiers in the War of the Revolution, But Finally Did So— The British Forced the Issue.
Washington, D. C.—It is very fortunate that at the psychological moment the Associated Publishers, of this city, have brought out Walter H. Mazyck's "George Washington and the Negro." This author has spent years searching among the manuscripts of Washington and other contemporary documents in the capital of the nation, and this valuable book is the result of his researches. It comes in the nick of time. The world is turning its eyes upon George Washington in 1832 in the observance of the much-talked-of-BI-centennial. How the various elements in our population will react to this celebration will depend on the extent upon the interest which George Washington manifested in them. Mr. Mazyck has answered this question with respect to the Negro, and he has done so in a most satisfactory and convincing manner.
Every phase of the life of Washington which touched that of the Negro and every national or international question which he had to consider with respect to the Negro have been fully treated in this book. No other volume supplies as this does a complete account of the participation of the Negro in the American Revolution, and at the same time sets forth the claims which the Negro has asserted in the moment of all the rights and privileges guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. In this treatment of George Washington, however, Mr. Mazyck has not tried to truduce or vilify the "Father of the Country." The author has presented the facts as they are, believing that facts properly set forth will speak for themselves. The book is true to history, for if certain facts were believed which were certainly important facts other than the body would descend to the level of so many others which are merely propaganda.
George Washington started life as a typical Virginia slaveholder by tradition, birth, religion, and education. He was taught to regard as beasts the Negroes on his plantation, and as a member of the militia he ran them down as one did live stock which escaped from their owners. Washington even traded in slaves as did other planters around him. When the American, Revolution broke out, then (and he was appointed to the State) he was called to call upon Negroes to engage in a conflict which he believed respected the liberties and privileges of white men. Washington at first was of the opinion that the admission of "any persons as soldiers, into the Army now raising (but only such as are freemen) will be inconsistent with the principles supported, and reflect dishonor" on the cause. Accordingly the Negroes who had responded as "minute men" in 1775 and had participated in the early engagements like that of Bunner Hill before Washington charge was excluded from the army, but was only after Washington saw the invasions made on the Negro population by the British who called both slave and free to their rescue that he and his generals rescinded their early action and enlisted Negroes in the cause of independence.
Considered sympathetically, however, Washington should not be despised on account of this attitude, for he developed wonderfully to rise from the level of the slaveholder to the position of leading Negro soldiers in the battle for freedom. He had seen little of the Negro except as a tool in the hands of the explorer. It was a new thing for him. Frequently along the streets of Philadelphia he went to Boston, where he saw free Negroes the eighteenth century successfully conducting business, practicing professions and clamoring for public recognition. Some of these Negroes whom George Washington reached by these new contacts, as the author shows, must have made a deep impression upon him, for when he retired from the army to take up his abode as a slaveholder he was a harried soul. Almost every moment thereafter his mind wuse a battle ground between his stand for liberty and interest in the position denying to others the very thing for which the American Revolution had been fought.
Around him, too, as the author brings out, stood friends of freedom like Jefferson, Kosciusko, and Lafayette, who urged that the Negroes

be emancipated. The Methodists, Baptists, and Quakers of that time, pressing this same duty upon him, made life less interesting than it would have been had this ghost been kept down. Washington finally became convinced that slavery was an unjust institution, locking in convictions, he would not join the anti-slavery forces. He went so far as to say that the institution should be abolished by legislative authority, but when in 1789 the Quakers filed such a petition with him and the Federal Government he referred to their action as mischievous. In spite of himself, therefore, Washburn provided for the revival, although he did provide for the manumission of his own hoodmen.
We are all but charmed by the interesting story of the Negro throughout the conflict. We see the intrepidity of Crispus Attucks, the undaunted courage of Peter Salem, the daring exploits of Salem Poor, the invaluable service of Pompey at Stony Point, the valor displayed by the Negroes at Monmouth, the triumph of the black regiment in the battle of Rhode Island, the martyrdom of the heroes at Points Bridge, and the glorious contribution to the surrender of Corawallis at Yorktown. It is all there like an enchanting narrative which grips the reader to the end of a beautiful romance.

CENTRAL HIGH ENTERTAINS.
Starts a Series of Weekly Concerts for the Edification and Pleasure of Adults in That Section of the City.
The first of a weekly series of community entertainments was inaugurated, Thursday night, at Central High auditorium by the Central Community Council. There will be no charge at these entertainments and children will be admitted only when accompanied by their parents. At Thursday night's entertainment, a joint musical program was given by the music units of Central, Longwood and Kennard Junifor High schools. A group of solos was given by Lois Bowers while community singing was led by Violet M. Jackson. The Central Community Council, organized by Parks Director Newman, is composed of representatives of the schools, church groups and agencies of the district. Members of the Council are R. W. Jelliffe, George Bellamy, J. R. King, E. C. Wixom, Sylvester Williams, Wh. R. Conners, Alice Gannett, Rev. J. P. Foote, Rev. Ernest Hall, Hazel M. Walker, Jane E. Hunter, Rev. M. F. Washington, Chas. E. Frye and Leah Milkman. Gymnasium activities will also be organized for Tuesday nights. Besides basketball, a weekly social recreation hour will be a feature.
MORE REPRESENTATION!
Republican Leaders Maschke, Marshall and Forrest Agree Our People Will Be Given It After the Mayorality Election.
At a meeting in Temple Baptist church, Sunday afternoon, attended by Mr. Maurice Maschke, head of the local Republican organization, and Mrs. Mary B. Forrest, head of the women's department, Councilman Clayborne George said in his speech that since the Republican party of this city depended so largely upon our support to help nominate and elect Former City Manager Daniel E. Morgan as mayor, in the month, Mr. Morgan is elected to the office of the business generally complained of which in the several departments of the city government, will have to cease. This statement was called forth by Mr. Maschke and Mrs. Forrest who had made the statement relative to the importance of our vote in both the primary and regular elections. Another speaker was former Mayor John Marshall, president of the City Council, who at a meeting of workers, held last week Tuesday night, frankly admitted that our people did not have as much representation in the city departments as they were to in proportion to the support the Republican organization. He said that that would be willing to help our clients to secure additional representation. All of which is very encouraging indeed and can be depended upon because Mr. Maschke always keeps his word and promises.

AMERICAN PREJUDICE ABROAD
U. S. Consul Calver B. Chamberlain, who was assaulted at Mukden, Manchuria, Jan. 4, '32, by two Japanese soldiers and a Japanese interpreter because of his characteristically overbearing "southern" mistreatment and insults, should have been characterized as a "ruffian" by a local daily newspaper rather than the three offending Japanese. The affair was not caused, as alleged by said newspaper, by the wide-spread inimicable feeling toward this country because it opposed the Japanese war in Manchuria. They battered the consul as a result of his insulting attitude and mistreatment. All because the Japanese are not a white race, and for that reason only. A careful reading of the newspaper dispatches from Mukden, relative to the affair, will make this perfectly clear as indicated in the following:
"The immediate cause of this unfortunate incident seems to have been that Chamberlain treated the Japanese soldiers as if they were Chinese," Lieut. Col. Matsui said. "The Japanese soldier is proud, American and Japanese manners are different and these soldiers considered Mr. Chamberlain's manner insulting."
The punishment visited upon the offending Japanese by their government will not be for long. One can depend upon that. This same "southern" racial feeling is at the bottom of the Hawaiian affair, too, now being exploited in American newspapers. The prejudiced Americans, whether in or out of the government service, may just as well learn, first as last, that the Japanese, the a yellow people, now represent a first-class world-power and will not submit to, the insults and mistreatment they visit upon our people in the south and in many parts of the north of this country even if the Chinese soldier does, as Lieut. Col. Matsui insinuates in the portion of his interview published above.
APPEAL TO COMMUNITY FUND.
Recent experiences convince the writer that some of the representatives of the Associated Charities of Cleveland are not treating the poor and needy of our people in the third councilmanic district properly, or with the consideration they are entitled to. Therefore, we were pleased to see the Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer editorial of Monday, praising Rev. Russell S. Brown's comment along this line, because it served to acquaint the general public with a fact it was not fully aware of. On several occasions in recent weeks, we have been compelled to appeal to the Community Fund, which largely finances the Associated Charities, in order to get something like proper treatment for deserving poor and needy of the race in that section of the city. We would suggest to Rev. Brown and the rest of our local pastors that they follow the same course whenever they find it necessary. It was also very encouraging to read the closing paragraph of the editorial referred to because it restated a fact we have frequently called attention to. in recent years, in the local daily papers;
"Also significant is his (Brown's) reminder that 'it is remarkable how many good people live in the midst of so much vice and crime.' It is well to remember that the vast majority of those who dwell in what they properly resent hearing called the 'roaring third' do so because they can't live anywhere else."
THE PRIMARY'S LESSONS.
Just as we predicted, ten days ago, Daniel E. Morgan, Republican, and Ray T. Miller, Democrat, were nominated as candidates for mayor, to be voted on at the election, Feb. 16, '32. Approximately 59,000 votes were cast for the former and 49,900 for
the latter; 31,000 votes for Peter Witt and 8,000 votes for Dr. F. W. Walz, independent Democratic candidates, making an approximate total of 90,000 votes cast for the Democratic candidates to 59,000 for Mr. Morgan, the Republican candidate. Here is positive proof that the election in February is to be a battle royal if local Republicans and their friends are to elect Daniel E. Morgan mayor of the city of Cleveland. The knowledge of the fact that in case of the election of Miller, a Democrat, as mayor of this city, everyone of the hundreds of Afro - American Republican city employees will lose their jobs, and at best only a very few of them can or will be replaced by "Negro" Democrats, is a tremendous incentive for our people to get busy immediately in the interest of the Republican candidate and stay so until Feb. 17, 1932.
The fact that our voters in the 11th, 12th, 17th and 19th wards cast approximately 13,000 votes for Mr. Morgan, nearly one-fourth of his total vote, is proof that they have overlooked, temporarily at least, his unfortunate re-appointment of Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom and are willing to give him another chance to drop that official from his cabinet in case of his election as mayor on Feb. 16, 1932. The last census gives our vote of this city as 47,953, approximately 12,000 less votes than the total vote given Mr. Morgan Tuesday. This is significant, to say the least, and is doubtless the foundation for Mrs. Bernice Pyke's statement in Wednesday morning daily papers to the effect that "considering the Republican vote in the 11th, 12th, 17th and 18th wards, it is surprising that Mr. Morgan did not win by 30,000 Mrs. Pyke is a Democratic member of the board of elections.
THAT HAWAIIAN MESS.
Admiral Wm. V, Pratt of the U. S. Navy, having reference to the Hawaiian trouble now being exploited in the American newspapers to the detriment of the peaceful inhabitants of that little island, said in an interview at Washington, D. C., last Saturday: "American men will not stand for the violation of their women under any circumstances. For this crime (meaning murder of a Hawaiian in Honolulu charged with criminal assault on the wife of a young U. S. citizen) they have taken the matter into their own hands, repeatedly, when they have felt that the law has failed to do justice."
Admiral Pratt and the American newspapers, that are working themselves into a frenzy because of this alleged crime, are very careful not to say anything about the hundred of Hawaiian women and girls that have been criminally assaulted and otherwise outraged by American soldiers, sailors, and others, just as in the south of this country and in Haiti where hundreds of Afro-American and Haitian women, respectively, have been criminally assaulted and outraged by Americans (white). The onus of the alleged Hawaiian crime (criminal assault) should be placed upon whites in Hawaii, where it belongs, and not upon the peace-loving residents of that island for they are a long suffering and gentle people. Therefore, who can blame the Hawaiians from "taking such matters into their own hands when they have felt that the 'law' has failed to do justice?" It is very pleasing indeed to know that they have the courage to do so.
An Appreciation.

Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O.
Dear Sir: Thanks very much for your very gracious letter of Jan. 6, congratulating me on my election to the chairmanship of the Civil Service Commission. It is my hope that my future conduct will justify the many kind expressions I have received.
I quite agree with you as to the significance of this incident. We do have political prestige in this community already, but we not always use it wisely. However, it is a source of potential power and as we increase in group wisdom its value will be greatly enhanced.
Last Slave-Station Crumbles.
Martins Ferry, O.—The last of the famous "underground railway" stations, where thousands of runaway slaves hid from the Civil War a short time before the Civil War broke out, is slowly toottering to destruction near helium. It is a mill on the banks of a small stream near the Ohio river. The place has been unoccupied for two years. D. C. has its present owner, who has spent most of his 75 years in the vicinity of the mill, recalls hearing his people tell of midnight excursions along the railroad when as high as 50 slaves would be brought into the station, for shelter and food en route to Canada and freedom.
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and gallitates the militaries. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT
OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION
Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law.
Our mor-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mon 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:
MRS.

a representative of victim of lynching

costs in tax levy.
must member of mob
must another county.
Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined.
6279. "Serious injury" defined.
6280. Damages in case of assault.
6281. Damages in case of lynching.
6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching.
6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another.
6284. Limitations of action.
6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy.
6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees.
6287. County's right of action against member of mob.
6288. County's right of action against another county.
6289. Non-relief from prosecution.
Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a victim 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 prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob 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.)
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in homicide or assault from prosecuting for homicide or assault or engaging therein. (93 v. 163 18).
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
Sec. 12.1240. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, 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 facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars not more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12.1241. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the per agreeved thereby to be recovered in the county where justification 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.

Our mor-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been

OUR LESSON
We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.

"I OWE IT ALL TO HI-JA"
How wonderful it is to be beautiful! To have hair that is long, soft and silky—hair that, when bobbed, falls in graceful curls, charmingly framing the face—hair that sevents the air with a dainty, mysterious perfume.
Is it any wonder that such women are believed?
Gladys Robinson, famous leading lady of "The Smart Set", has such hair and says of it, "I owe it's beauty to Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing. Without this wonderful product I would be lost. It is the best thing of its kind I have ever tried and since I am an actress and one who must be as beautiful as you will the time I have naturally used many products."

THE MAN WHO DARES
"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.

"HUMAN NATURE'S
FOULEST BLOT."
My ear is pained,
My soul is sick with every day's report
Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled.
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 skim
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.

Dear Friend:—I have read
the latest copy of The Gazette
through and after reading it,
I can truthfully say: It is
worth its weight in gold!
admire true manhood—a
man who seeing injustice and
oppression within the
limits of the law, to resist,
and if possible smite it.
You and I have frequently, during
the forty-two years since the
birth of The Gazette, been, as
the Scotch would say, like two
McNeils, but when I find a man,
such as you, who consistently,
and persistently, through nearly
half a century, puts his race
foremost in his life struggle,
I take off my hat to him, as
a true friend of our
class. Long life to you and
The Gazette.
Yours for the right,
John P. Green.

WHEN BABIES
FRET THERE are times when a baby is too fretful or feverish to be sung to sleep. There are some pains a mother can't pat away. But there's quick comfort in a little Castoria!
For diarrhea, and other infantile ills, give this pure vegetable preparation. Whenever coated tongues tell of constipation; whenever there's any sign of sluggishness. Castoria has a good taste; children love to take it. Buy the genuine—with Chas. H. Fletcher's signature on wrapper.
Fletcher's CASTORIA
ANATOMY OF THE NERVES
Poisones absorbed into the system from souring waste in the bowels cause that headache, sluggish, billious condition; coat your tongue and foul the breath; sap energy, strength and nerve-force. A little of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will clear up trouble like that, gently, harmlessly, in a hurry. The difference it will make in your feelings overnight will prove its merit to you.
Dr. Caldwell studied constipation for over forty-seven years. This experience enabled him to make his prescription just what men, women, old people and children need to make their bowels help themselves. Its perfectly natural, mild, thorough action and its pleasant taste commend it to everyone. That's why "Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin" is the most popular laxative drugs sells.
ASSASSIN
A Drinker of Hashish!
In eleventh-century Persia, a secret order was founded by Hassan ben Sabbah, indulging in the use of the Oriental drug hashish, and, when under its influence, in the practice of secret murder. The murderous drinker of hashish came to be called hashab in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assasin!

‘The Fueroes, numbering twenty-one
small {slands sprinkled .over. a small
area about 250 miles off the northern
tip of Scotland haye remained practi-
eally unchanged since Viking days:
Modem civilization can find no. foot
hold on their windy cliffs; there life
€an exist only when modeled on an
clent, primitive patterns. And so the
isianders, forever wrestling with
waves and winds, have little time for
the tourist or his meney.
Bach of the iglatids rises from the
fea with flanks ax sheer as a ship's
aides and with a plateau top, flat like
a ship's deck. In all the Paeroes there
4s only one swall sandy beach of
hundreds feet or so, a beach which is
considered such a remarkable gift of
nature that the big island of Sando
takes Its name from the tiny strand.
Basalt cliffs rise majestically on all
the islands. Some tower nearly 2,000,
feet above the restless sea, and against
these black barriers the Atantic sends
her mighty waves, to break with ex
ploslve force and burst into probabily
the most remarkable clouds of spray
and surf to be found in all the world.
Videro is probably the bleakest is-
Jand of them all and therefore visitors
seldom land there. But the effort
pays, for there the dwellings are of
the most ancient type, customs have
been handed down unmodified, and it
fs such a colony as Leif Erigsson
might have planted. There is no
town; not even a store, Low stone
farmhouses, half sunk in the ground
and girded by outer stone, walls to
escape the violent winds, cling to the
barrens. Sheep graze at will.
Live in “Smoke Rooms.”
So poor is Videro that only one
house, that belonging to the school-
master, a very great man indeed, has
“glass room.” Such an extracazance
fe not for the average Videra dweller,
‘who lives with his family in a “smoke
Foom,” or a converted smoke room.
‘The smoke room, which was once typ-
eal of all rural homes in the Faeroes
and still survives in many, harks back
to the feast halls of the Vikings. Usu-
ally it 35 large, since It is often the
only room in the house, except the
stable below it for horses and cows,
and must serve for the entertainment
of the néighbors as well as for all
family uses, Around the room there
are no windows; only the entrance
oor and those that open on the oriz-
inal “pullman beds,” which may be
aingle—or doubledeck.
In the center of the room stands a
low stone forge on which burns poat
‘er, rarely, brown coal, and above the
fire hangs a wooden chimney, which
earries some, but not all, of the smoke
to the outside air. Converted smoke
rooms with modern" improvements
Doast a stove where once the open fire
gleamed, and a skylight glass window
‘where once an aperture in the roof,
uncovered in good weather, suffered
to admit light.
While the schoolmaster has’ his
“stove room” and Is the only man of
Videro with a glass room, nearly all
the farmhouses on Stromo island have
glass rooms, and in Thorshavn, the
seapital itself, the communal store
room has been left out in the new,
graceless concrete houses.
‘A glass room is an appendage of
the smoke or stove room, having glass
windows. Usually it is a parlor and,
Uke parlors of an earlier day, can be
‘used only on state occasions—for a
funeral, for a marriage, or a reception

chairs, a vase with paper flowers, and
religious pictures on the wall.
‘Frequently the glass room is opened

Like Their Food “High.”
‘The stove room serves, of course, as
the dining room. Sheep, fish and
whale are staples with the Islanders.
‘The first two are common enough to
most people. ‘The method of prepar-
ing the food for the table in the
Faeroes scarcely recommends it to the

food, however, receives different tkeat-

inhabitants who raise sheep and catch
fish. Cursed it Is by winds and waves,
for the storms that leave Newfound-
land and Greenland gather all their
forces and loose them here. ‘The rest
of the Faeroes and Europe get tie
storms later: Myggenaes gets them
first and worst.
At the very western end of the Is-
land is a holm, or islet, separate?
from the main block by a crevice 75
feet wide. At the outer point of the
detached piece stands the western
most lighthouse of the Faeroes. Its
heacon blazes out 413 fect above the
Sea. At the foot of the lighthouse
cliff, their fomdations melting year by
year in the tossing waters, are two
pinnacles of rock on which in summer
the gannets rest.

WHY WAS DEC. 25 CHOSEN?
THE SCIENCE OF COMPARATIVE RELIGION REN-
DERS INVALUABLE AID IN ANSWERING
THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION.
The Reasow the Christian Church Finally Adopted the
Date—“Little Black Child in a Manger’”’—
An Exceptionally Interesting
Communication.
.,-Washington, D, ©.—Though Dec.
25, is regarded as the birthday of
Jesus Christ, we really have no ree-
ord of the actual day of His birth.
‘The popular chronology gives the
year 4B, 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 the
Christian saviour? The seience of
comparative religion renders us in-
valuable aid In answering this im-
portant question. Students of the
Subject, who are familiar with stich
books as Robertson's “Papan Chris-
is," Sir Godfrey Higgins’ “Anacalyp-
sis," Kersey Graves’ “World's Six-
teen Crucified Saviors,” Doano's “Bi-
Vie Myths," Sir J. G. Prazer’s “Gold-
en Boygh" and Rev. Robert Taylor's
“Diegesis,” know about the many
virgin-born saviors, who were wor-
shipped hundreds and thousands of
years before Christ. The most cele
brated of these pre-Christian sons of
God, were Osiris, Horus, Krishna,
Buddha, Bacchus, Adonis, Hercules,
Quetzalcoatie and Mithra, | There Is &
remarkable similarity in the alleged
biographies of theso divine sons and
sages.
1. They were all horn 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, be-
ing 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 aroze trom
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
Gay as a religions holiday among the
heathen. nations of antiquity. De-
cember 25, was celebrated as the day
of the rebirth of the Sunday, Decem-
ber 21, (the winter solstice), is the
shortest day inthe year. By the
25th of December the ancients no-
Uiced that the day was beginning to
lengthen again and consequently
hailed it as the birthday of the tw
conquerable Sun.
‘The ancient Egyptians adored a
Mitle black child ina manger, which
was displayed in their temples on
Christmas, long before the Christian
era. There isa. close. parallel be-
tween the life of this Egyptian god,
Horus, as recorded in the sacred
books of the Egyptians and the lite
ne Jesus as recorded in the Gospels.
“phe alleged facts of our Lord's life
as Jesus. the Christ,” says the
Egyptologist, Gerald Massey, “were
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.”

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
Scandinavians. During that season
they arranged and staged great festi-
vals and exchanged presents among
themselves. The most popular gifts
were horses, gold rings, swords and
battle-axes. |The pre-Christian Cel-
tie Druids celebrated the night of De-
cember 24th as a grand festival night
by lighting huge bond-fires on the
tops of mountains. The day follow-
ing they called Noel, or the day of
regeneration. Similar ceremonies
were enacted in pagan Rome and pre-
Columbian Mexico.

Christ, may be ‘traced back to an-
cient Egypt. I HS are Greek letters.
Translated into Latin they beeome
I ES. The suffix for masculine
names in Latin is US. IBS plus US
[is equivalent to TESUS, In translat-
ing the name into English the T be-
comes a J, and hence we get JESUS.
THS was also the monogram of the
pre-Christian heathen sun-god Bac-
chus. The Greeks originally _ pie-
tured Bacchus as a black god, because
they had adopted him from the black
Egyptiaus. The Bacchus of the
Greeks was the Horus of the Egyp-
tians. The colossal Sphinx, with its
Negro face, erected 10,000 years ago,
is a monument to Horus, the black
Christ of Egypt,
According to the ancient Kgypti-
ans, Horus came down from heaven
in the form of an infant, born of the
Virgin Isis. His father was the great
god Osiris. Horus, the human in-
carnation of the god Osiris, was the
earliest king of Egypt. He was king
of Egypt thousands of years before
Menes, the first Pharaoh was born,
In other words he ruled in the land
of Egypt wlien it was only a part
of the great world-wide empire of
the ancient Ethiopians.
