Wednesday afternoon, at the bible session of the fifth annual Ohio Conference of Church Women (white) in the chapel of Euclid Ave. Baptist church. The resolutions were drawn up by the Christian race relations commission of the conference, of which Mrs. Raymond P. Keessecker of the Church of the Covenant here was chairman.

At least 10 other calls should take this examination. Get busy! The Douglass club at 4418 Central Ave. was re-opened, last week, and ought not to be disturbed because all the other clubs were permitted to re-open, last fall, and have not been interfered with. It should be treated with the same consideration. So Acting Mayor Burton, Director of Safety Barry and Chief Matowitz are right in the stand they have taken and are maintaining. The Civil Service Commission has officially notified Street Commissioner Dombey, so he announces, that Mrs. F. J. Cansler will not be issued a second thirty-day permit (as requested by Councilman Clayborne George) to fill the position temporarily vacated by Miss Crystal Z. Newswise whose most encouraging improvement continues at the Scarborough Park City hospital. This new stand of the commission is maintained, there are scores of temporary city and county employees who will have to "walk the plank" and soon, giving way to others greatly in need of employment of almost any kind. Have you read "In All Shades" by Grant Allen and "Dr. Huguet" by Donnelly? You can get them at the public library. Do not fall to do so. Then start in reading Judge Albion W.

OPPOSES COLOR-LINE. Urges Admission of Our Workers to Labor Organizations and Says Fear Is the Cause of Race Trouble. Outbreaks of race prejudice represent an expression of social fear, in the opinion of Karl Borders, Chicago settlement-house worker who spoke at Cleveland College, last week Thursday night, under the auspices of the League for Industrial Democracy. Eviction riots in Chicago and in other cities, he said, were not purely inspired by Communist propagandists. They were the direct result, he said, of distress which conventional leadership had failed to alleviate. Borders contended existence of race prejudice must be recognized and met. He said that in 22 national labor organizations, "aggressors" are specifically barred in the face of the organizations. Politically, Borders said, there appears to be emerging a disbelief in the old theory that the "Negro" vote belonged under the Republican emblem. The Socialist party, he said, is making headway in gaining their membership. "What the Negro wants," he said, "is not invasion of white partors but the opportunity to progress industrially." At a meeting of the civic committee of the S. S. Republican club, L. P. Smith tendered his resignation as chairman, but it was not accepted. Mr. Smith expressed the need of a clean Civic Club in that neighborhood, free from petty politics, etc. THE ABYSSINIAN KNOCKED HIM DOWN!

St. Louis, Missouri it feels to be a friend and frequent dinner-guest of Ras Tafari Makonnen, Emperor Haile Selassie, of Abyssinia, Africa, is told by Dr. Stuart Bergsma (white), medical missionary, who is now at home on a furlough.

Since the early 1928 Dr. Bergsma has been one of two staff surgeons at George Memorial hospital in Addis Ababa, the capital, situated about 500 miles inland and reached only by a small French railway. The hospital, one of 90 beds, is a project of the United Presbyterian church. It is one of the four medical centers in Addis Ababa. Emperor Haile Selassie maintaining the other three with a staff of European physicians. With his wife and their 4-year-old son, Dr. Bergsma lives in a home on the hospital grounds. Prince Visits King London, England—Asfaou Oussan, crown prince of Abyssinia, lineal descendant of King Solomon and a son of Emperor Haile Selassie, King of Ethiopia, went to Sandringham, last week Thursday, one of the many palatial residences of British royalty, to pay a visit to King George and Queen Mary. The young prince carried a word of greeting from his father to them, and was accompanied by the Earl of Airlie, who has visited the visit in England, staring the visit in England and members of the royal suite. His attire was ceremonial, with a dark cloak, trimmed in black-silk braid, over his black and white silk robes. He wore a wide brimmed hat. After lunching with the king and queen, the prince returned to London. On Thursday evening, he sat in the royal box at Drury Lane theater to view "Cavalcade," Noel Coward's pageant of English history. The prince likes English fares, especially roast beef and munition. Last week he ate a banana. British breakfast of porridge, bacon and eggs, toast, marmalade and coffee at his hotel. With his sisters and his entourage the prince occupies nearly an entire floor of the hotel as the guests of the British government. Addis Ababa, Abyssinia — That Aybessinians will not stand to be mistreated by prejudiced American southern whites, who are even attempting to inject the color-line here, was clearly demonstrated, Sunday. Jan. 17, 32, when a native policeman knocked down Addison E. Southard, a minister in Aybessinia. Southard's home is in Louisville, Ky. His auto ran over a native woman. To this he added impudence. Then he got it! "A MOUTHEFUL" Congressman Blanton of Texas to Congressman Oscar De Priest, week before last, on the floor of the U. S. House of Representatives: "Every colored man in this capital who gets in a tight fix and needs money does not go to you, and he does not go to the Republican steering committee, but comes to us southern members for help." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD MAKES A PLEA FOR OHIO AFRO-AMERICANS TO JOIN A NEW LIBERAL PARTY. Woefully Lacking. The nation must establish a temporary dole for unemployed men and women. Prosperity can only be returned through the banishment of war debts and reparations, through honest, complete disarmament, lower tariffs descending into a free trade policy and through development of a true national leadership. Speaking before the City club, last Saturday noon, Oswald Garrison Villard, lifelong friend of the Wm. Lloyd Garrison, emancipationist, outlined those points as most vital to the preservation of our social order. Villard struck at both political parties as lacking in national leadership or vision, and declared the salivation of the government lies in the formation of a third party more radical and progressive than the "Bull Moose" of Roosevelt's time or the L.D. Foley the crusade to end the war. "The party is adequate leadership in Washington. I do not wish to attack President Hoover and his group—they are politically dead and nothing but complete stupidity on the part of their opponents can keep the Democrats out of power in this next election. I have only pity for Hoover. He worked for years to build a public machine which won him the presidency and it has turned to ashes in his hands. He is utterly inadequate for the Wm. Lloyd Garrison party abandoned its last point of difference from the Republicans their tariff for revenue only policy. The corruption of the Harding administration and the Coolidge 'marking time' administration led in part to our present disaster. Democrats" "Biggest Failure". "The Democratic party has been the greatest failure of all because it has not fulfilled the minority's function under our constitution of watching every activity of the party in power with a microscopic eye. We are witnessing the breakdown of a political system that the Republican power brought prosperity that high tariff policy could maintain an artificial national edifice in which American living standards would be higher than all others. It is the end of an era. Economics have broken away from politics—we face the problem of overproduction and perhaps a permanent problem of unemployment U. S. WHITE WOMEN SEEK NATIVE LURE! Charmed With the Island's Eden- Like Fascination, Affairs With "Beach Boys" Have Been Many—Native White Hawaiian Student Also Writes. (Editor's Note: Dorothy Mackail, U. S. film star, who has been a frequent visitor in Hawaii, writing for the International News Service, contributed the startling story which follows, on the Hawaiian situation.) Hollywood, Cal., Jan. 21, 32.—It had to come! The "beach boys"—really full-grown Kanakas—that is to say, pure-blooded Hawaiians—have had many romances with rich American women who have gone to the Islands as tourists and have been enthralled with its Eden-like fascination. These "affairs" have been invited by this type of women. The "beach boys" have been spoiled by so many American women paying attention to them. By contrast, they are extremely deferential when made to realize their inferiority. The killing of Kahawaii is deplorable. It is a tribute to the real Hawaiian people that none of the men accused of attacking Mrs. Massie was a Kanaka. The five men were mixed breed. And let me say right now that the oak element now on the island of Oahu is living dynamic. It is a racial mixture of Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese and Hawaiian.

Editor Villard spoke, last Saturday night, at the bomen club city "Negroes of Ohio hold the balance of power politically, and, if organized, could command recognition of their rights and respect for their Oswald Garrison Villard. power," Mr. Villard told an audience of more than 1,000 that packed St James' church, late Sunday afternoon. He urged the audience to become members of a proposed third party, also saving: "My appeal is for a new deal, for a new party in our political life! There is no choice between the two existing parties. Both are corrupt and failing the nation. It should not be difficult for Negroes to cut loose from the Republican party. Republicans opposed the passage of the Dyer anti-lynching law and Ohio anti-lynching law) and Negroes seem to be satisfied with election promises and the appointment of a few Negroes to office. Get together, organize and work as a group. There is no minority group in the country that is in as great danger or discriminated against as much as is the Negro. We are a long way from freedom, but even in my lifetime the colored people of America have made great strides. Cut loose from the old people, cut loose from the old people, ready to come into the new party which we hope to launch in the very near future." Russell W. Jelliffe introduced the speaker, J. E. Hubbard presided, and St. James Quartet sang a group of spirituals, sort of "rubbing it in," as it were. beautiful and the true Hawaiians and those who have intermarried with white people are such a happy lot. Dorothy Mackail. What a White Native Says. Chicago, Ill.—A student at Northwestern university here, R. T. West, a graduate of the University lensed the Chicago Tribune, foremost in the "proposed expedition" against Hawaii, in these words: "I am a white boy, was born and reared in Hawaii, and am now attending the Northwestern university medical school. I know conditions in Hawaii and for this reason nothing has made me more disgusted than to read the erroneous statements concerning Hawaii which have been published in the Tribune in the last three or four weeks. "There isn't any race conflict in Hawaii; in fact, Hawaii prides itself on having no race conflicts, with a population of about 350,000 comprised of practically every race on the face of the earth. The source of this is the Hawaiian sailor, which is not half as bad as it is painted, is the American sailor. The female population of Honolulu (white, oriental and Hawaiian) is more afraid of the uniform of an American sailor coming down a dark street than it is of a civilian. Why is it that only the wives of service men have been attacked, and not the thousands of white girls and women in Hawaii? It is because the service men refuse to leave the Honolulu girls alone." Tuesday afternoon, a boxer of color (Johnson) in the "stable" of a local trainer who last week arranged with the Central "Y" gym for his athletes to train there, called at The Gazette office to inform the editor that an effort was being made by prejudiced officials at the Central "Y" to prevent him from training there with his fellow-athletes (white).

SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1932. We thank the many friends who so kindly remembered us, Thursday, with some very pretty birthday cards. --- "Mister Patterson passed away, Monday evening. Funeral service, Thursday afternoon." We are hoping that it doesn't mean that our long-time friend and a state leader among our people—Fred D. Patterson—head of The C. R. Patterson Sons Co., has "passed out." If such be the case, then our people of Ohio have sustained a great loss, because in religious, civic and business efforts, he was one of their most important factors. Fitzhugh Woodford of the Gilpin players of this city was our only representative in the company that presented Eugene O'Neill's harmful miscegion play, "All God's Chillun", given very successfully in Detroit all week-before-last at the Lafayette theater. It caused "no ripples of race antagonism" either, strange to say. This may and may not indicate improvement upon the part of Detroit whites, along race-relation lines. We hope so, anyhow. We would like to remind the Cleveland Daily Press that there is more than one "group in Cleveland that carry on their lives, educate their children and fill their time with interests, social, domestic and philanthropic as if there were no (other) white people in America save those who serve them in shops and in traffic." This is not only true of "Negroes" in the city but equally true of a number of other groups, or class-settlements, like the Italian, Polish, etc. The impression should not prevail that it is only true in the case of our group. --- Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom, whose department was tentatively appropriated $2,740,000, said last week that that amount would have to be substantially increased if 175 beds for chronic patients at City hospital, 125 beds for tuberculosis patients at the hospital, and 200 beds for chronic patients at Warrensville, were to be opened this year. So you see here are 500 beds that can not be used because of lack of funds. It explains why there will be no "downtown hospital" for emergency, or other cases, for several years at least. Surely, not until the "economic depression" vanishes. Good! Congressman Blanton of Texas certainly treated Congressman Oscar DePriest with every consideration, recently, when the latter vainly sought to heckle him on the Democratic color-line in Texas primaries. DePriest's questions were not pertinent to the matter being discussed by Blanton and should not have been asked at that time. Furthermore, DePriest did not seem to know that after Blanton had yielded for two questions, he (DePriest) should have discontinued his puerile effort to heckle. It was a sorry showing upon the part of our only congressman, to say the least. BAD POLICY. President Hoover has just appointed a Texan governor-general of Porto Rico. The wisdom of the administration's policy of placing southern whites, as representatives of this country, over or among red, yellow, brown and black people is open to a great deal of question, to say the least. Everywhere that policy is followed—in Santo Domingo, Haiti, Hawaii, Abysinia, even Mexico, and everywhere else—the result is the same; friction that at times resulted in almost open revolution as was true in Haiti for many months while the U. S. marines were ruthlessly shooting down and killing more than 3,500 natives, according to Gen. Smedley D. Butler, U. S. A. (retired), in a speech at Pittsburgh, some years ago. PLENTY OF THEM. In "Little Old New York," last week, Wm. Thomas (white), who had been married four years to his wife, Jean, whom he had just stabbed to death, learned for the first time in court—so he said—that she was "colored." And she had been an actress in burlesque for several years, and a good one. He admitted that he had often seen her with her mother, "an old colored woman" but that the latter was "some kind of servant." That's amusing, isn't it? There are many cases of this kind in almost every large city in the North, and many where the husband is "colored." We know of a number of such cases right here in Cleveland, and others where both husband and wife KNOW but do not care, which after all is the proper condition, so long as they love each other or are otherwise satisfied. KNOCKED HIM DOWN! The U. S. Minister to Abyssinia, Africa, is a Kentuckian by the name of Southard, appointed by President Hoover. His auto ran over a native woman, recently, and Minister Southard was offensively impudent in his talk to the Abyssinian policeman who questioned him. Right then and there he found out he was not "down home", talking to an Afro-American because the officer knocked him down, severely jolting his prejudice and "American" impudence. Too bad, wasn't it? Notetheless, that is the only way to teach his kind the much-needed lesson. That sort of an experience really ought to be secured oftener in this country by his kind or "kidney." OUR VOTE VALUABLE In 1930, Gov. Myers Y. Cooper polled 81,336 votes in the city of Cleveland. Governor White (Dem.) received 105,726 votes. There were 246,338 registered voters in this city in 1931. At the recent Republican primaries, 59,348 votes were cast for Daniel E. Morgan, Republican. He received 13,497 votes in wards 11, 12, 17 and 18. According to the U. S. census of 1930, 67 per cent of our Cleveland population were 21 years of age, making 47,953 Afro-Americans eligible to vote here, some of whom have not registered, of course. The U. S. census also says that our vote of this city is eight and one-half per cent of the total voting strength of Cleveland. What per cent of the total Republican vote of Cleveland is its Afro-American vote? Two things must be taken into consideration in answering this question. One thing is the fact that Governor Cooper in 1930 did not receive the full Republican vote of this city. The other is how many of the 47,953 Afro-American residents of the city are registered and are Republican voters? When this information is secured, one can easily figure out what per cent of the total Republican vote of Cleveland is the Afro-American Republican vote of this city. One thing sure, and that it is, it is a very important factor, if indeed not the most important factor, of Cleveland's total Republican vote. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Dr. F. Tucker Moore has just been named a consulting surgeon of the Los Angeles police department by its chief surgeon. The "Chinaberry Tree" is a new novel by Miss Jessie Fossett of N. Y. City, author of "Plum Bun," a book she published, two years ago. The Carnegie Corporation of New York has granted Atlanta, Ga. University $100,000 for the establishment of a professorship in its graduate department of business administration. More than 4,000 telegrams from working-class organizations in this country, and abroad, demanding the release of the Scottsboro, Ala., victims, were received by Gov. B. M. Miller of Alabama when the case came up in the state supreme court (Jan. 12). Gen. Geo. W. Chamlee and four other I. L. D. defense attorneys are representing the Scottsboro, Ala., victims in the supreme court of that state, asking a new trial for the innocent lads. If it is refused, the case is to be carried to the U. S. Supreme court. The I. L. D. promises to carry the case of innocent. "Orphan" Jones, aged Eastern Shore Afro-American "invicted" of mass murder, to the U. S. supreme court, if necessary.

AMERICAN NEWS FEATURE, Inc. WE'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT CARRY THIS STYLE OF SHOE BOLONKEY! I SAW IT IN EVERY WINDOW IN TOWN 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 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 person receiving it from a person after. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as power to injure a person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, the amount and dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover from the county in which such an assault occurred by a mob five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor. a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed $10,000, and ages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, and then be distributed to the deceiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor or children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered may be distributed of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by a mob. Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 1.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for court expenses for such recovery. (83 v. 162 a) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (83 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: OBS. ed. I representative of victim of lynching by mob trying to lynch another. d costs in tax levy. c inst member of mob just another county. prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of money from 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.) The number 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enforced while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: State laws for 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 accommodations, advantages, facilities not less than fifty dollars nor 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 person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in conjunction with imposed 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. MUSICAL ACTIVITIES Beginning with this issue The Gazette will publish, each week, notes of our musical activities, national and local. This special feature is added in order to promote our music appreciation, music education and community music activities. The local Branch of our National Association of Musicians will hold their first musical tea tomorrow, Sunday, from 4 to 6 p. m., at Cedar "Y." Monday night, the branch will hold its monthly meeting at Cedar "Y." This will be choir-night, all the choirs of the city participating. The public is invited to attend both events. Mrs. McManning, organist of Second Emanuel Baptist church gave a successful recital, last week, featuring her large class of pupils. The outstanding number on the program was a trio for organ, piano and violin numbers were creditably rendered. Orrin C. Southern, son of Father W. S. Southern, rector of St. Andrews P. E. church, is making rapid advancement in the musical world. The scarcely 19 years of age, this young man has won several scholarships and is a member of the teaching staff of one of our music-schools as organist.

Restless CHILDREN CHILDREN will fret, and often for no apparent reason. But there's always Castoria! As harmless as the recipe on the wrapper; mild and bland as it tastes. Yet its gentle action will soothe a youngster more surely than a more powerful medicine That's the beauty of this special children's remedy! It may be given the tiniest infant — as often as there is need. In cases of colic, diarrhea or similar disturbance, it is invaluable. A coated tongue calls for just a few drops to ward off constipation; so does any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever children don't eat well, don't rest well, or have any little upset—this pure vegetable preparation is usually all that's needed. Fletcher's CASTORIA BOWELS need watching Let Dr. Caldwell help whenever your child is feverish or upset; or when he has caught cold. His prescription will make that bilious, headachy, cross boy or girl comfortable, happy, well in just a few hours. It soon restores the bowels to normal, healthy regularity. It helps "break-up" a cold by keeping the bowels free from all that sickening mucus waste. You have a famous doctor's word for this laxative. Dr. Caldwell's record of having attended over 3500 births without the loss of one mother or baby is believed to be unique in American medical history. Get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin from your drugstore and have it ready. Then you won't have to worry when any member of your family is headachy, bilious, gassy or constipated. Syrup Pepsin is good for all ages. It sweetens the bowels; increases appetite.

Wishing you a happy and prosper- our New Year, I am. Sincerely yours, Charles S. Smith, Secretary, Dept. of Public Safety The most refreshing piece of information that has been given to our voters of this community lately is the recent statement of Mr. Maurice Maschke, leader of the local Republican organization, to the effect that in event of the election of Daniel E. Morgan as mayor of Cleveland on Feb. 16, 1922, our people were to be given "more and better representation" in the city government. Since he is well-known to be a man who keeps his promises, there is in his statement the very best encouragement for our people to em massate the support of the Republic on behalf of the mayor, especially since there is every probability of Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom being dropped from the mayor's cabinet in compliance with the desire of the great majority of our more than 47,000 voters in this city. At City Council meeting, Monday, Ex-Mayor John D. Marshall, president of the council, appointed Councilman L. O. Payne chairman of its welfare committee; Councilman Leroy N. Bundy, chairman of the public service committee; and Councilman Clayborne George, head of the safety committee. Each committee is composed of nine members instead of seven, as was the case, the last two years. These appointments show that the local Republican organization is willing to place our councilmen in positions to do much of material consequence for our people of this community, if they would only try.

Beckwith and Building Manager A. A. Goodridge made very satisfactory reports. The firm warned of the company was declared, greatly pleasing the forty shareholders present. Mr. Hooker Page, the only shareholder not an Odd Fellow, said that the he had been associated with many enterprises among our group, the Cleveland Odd Fellows' Building Co. was the only one that was fully paid up and that has been paid off by the third successive year. All officers were re-elected. In addition to those named, they are: S. Dorssey, Oliver Crosson, G. W. Brown, Col. A. T. Abbott, directors. SHALL WE STAND FOR THIS? I wish to call the attention of our people of this community, thrn the columns of The Gazette, to one of many like incidents that happen nearly every day. For three successive Sunday mornings, while on my way to St. John's A. M. E. Sunday-school, I have seen women of the race, residing in E. 40th St., throw their soapsud-bathing water out of the front door onto the porch and watch it run down on the ground where it stood in puddles. "I am led to wonder what our race is coming to?" Our ministers have been silenced on this matter and not a race newspaper in the city, except The Gazette, will publish this article, for fear, that the shame shame that the editor of The Gazette has had to fight, single-handed for years, the battle for a higher standard of race morals in this com race. It is my prayer that our race may not drop completely out of line with other races on the tragic road of human progress. Is it possible that any other race would allow its women to conduct themselves likewise and worse? And our ministers ludicrously say "let God do that." No, I say let us cry against it, and also act against it. (Rev.) Thomas M. Anderson. FEBRUARY "OPPORTUNITY." Prof. Alain Locke contributes a brilliant summary of our literature for 1831 in the February number of "Opportunity." Carl Carmer, of the editorial staff of the Theatre Arts Monthly, writes an absorbing story of a black secreess. "The Afro-American of Wilmington, Del." is an article based on a survey by Thomas A.

"WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!" Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette. Dear Friend: I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth it, I will include it. I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it 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 near-every a century, puts his race formality on my hat, and I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right. John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.)

(Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C.) W the most of the world's wonders are hoary with age, Waimangu, the world's larg- est geyser and one of the natural wonders of the world, has been spouting forth in the New Zealand hills for only three decades. In the North island of New Zealand, if you drive from Rotorua straight back through the scarred and roughened lava-strewn hills toward Mount Tarawera, that old volcano of such grim associations, you will come upon what appears to be a peaceful pond lying motionless in a depression among the hills. Among its dreary and barren surroundings not a living thing is to be seen; the thin steam that rises gently from its surface and from the other pools nearby is the only sign of movement that breaks its stillness. From the plateau in which it is sunk rise, in two directions, great rugged cliffs; and these form, as it were, a natural stadium in whose arena below is enacted at intervals one of the most marvelous and sensational spectacles which the natural phenomena of the world produce. For this is Waimangu, the largest geyser in the world, but a geyser whose action resembles far more the eruption of a great volcano than it does that of the slender jets of steam and water with which one usually associates the name. When, in 1886, the appalling eruption of Mount Tarawera altered the face of the whole country, leaving in its path widespread loss of human life, destruction of villages and of millions of acres of cultivated fields, New Zealanders did not realize what a mighty landmark had been given them as compensation. They could only bemoan the loss of their famous pink terraces, which Tarawera had so ruthlessly torn from them, and they could not foresee the monument which was then set in course of construction to commemorate that terrible June night. Explosion Was Tremendous. For Waimangu, though it was undoubtedly formed by that great upheaval, did not at once make known its birth. For 14 years it lay quiescent, slowly gathering power for the day on which it would first leap into action and proclaim its sovereignty. Suddenly, in 1900, the outburst came. The quiet pool which lies within its crater was stirred, steam rose from its surface, and with no further warning the very bowels of the earth, as it seemed, were hurled through it into the air in one tremendous explosion. Two men prospecting for ore in that uninhabited region saw the eruption and brought back the news that Waimangu had broken loose. New Zealanders henceforth could boast the greatest geyser in the world. It seems to have taken people of Rotorua some little time to realize that, from the erratic and wholly ungovernable character of Waimangu, a near approach to its crater must at all times be attended with the greatest personal risk; for, although the explosions were soon found to come at average periods of 36 hours, irregular eruptions were of frequent occurrence and took place without warning. As is the law with all new dangers, somebody had to be hurt and sacrificed before steps were taken to prevent the ignorant and foolhardy from venturing too near. In the summer of 1903 two girls and a guide visited the crater, and, though previously warned of the risk, they stood near the brink to secure a photograph at close quarters. An eruption occurred, the pond was增 bodily into the air to a height of some 1,500 feet, with enormous quantities of mud, huge rocks, and steam, and the fortunate visitors were caught by the back flow of the boiling water and swept down into the crater, from which the bodies were later recovered, terribly burned and mutilated. From that day the geyser basin was raled off in such a manner that nobody could approach near enough to incur the slightest danger. Visit to the Geyser. The road through the hills from Rotura toward Waimangu leads over the most desolate country; in all directions only the lava-formed, rolling wilderness is to be seen. Occasionally one passes terraces of sulphur, silica and alum, where lets of steam or boil ing mudholes further attest the volcanic nature of the land. So far as any natural, earthlike features are to be seen, one might be in the nether regions. Then, after scrambling up a steep hill to the westward of Roturana, a superb view suddenly appears. A one's feet lie the azure surface of Lake Rotomahana, of such a blue as one sees portrayed and believes unreal, a turquoise in an old-gold setting, for the encircling mountains are bathed in sunlight and rise as tawny protectors of their charge below. Grim and foreboding in the background stands Tarawera, passive now and smokeless, brooding over her dark deeds of bygone years, dreaming, perhaps, of the day when power would once more be given her to rise and strike the land with terror. From the hill beside Rotomahana one descends to Waimangua's basin. The boiling pool which occupies the center of the crater, some 300 feet in width, is quite still except for the bubbles which rise to its surface and the thin steam drifting lazily upward. Two explorers who passed the danger line, threaded their way carefully between the boiling springs, and then, climbing down into the crater, stood finally on the brink of the pool itself. They cared to remain but a moment in such a position, for although Waimangua had exploded during the night and was not actually due to work again for 36 hours, the thought of what would be their fate, should an irregular eruption occur, rendered the spot a peculiarly unattractive one and caused them to climb without delay back to the plateau, and on up to the cliff above the basin. It was well that they did so. Scarcely five minutes had elapsed from the moment that they had stood within the crater. Their camera was pointed down for a photograph from the summit of the cliff and they had made an exposure. Then, even before there was time to change the plate, the surface of the pool began suddenly to seethe. The photographer heard his partner yell that Waimangu was "going off." His voice was quickly drowned in the fearful uproar that immediately ensued. Like a Volcano. Walimanga was in eruption. The formerly placid pond was shot, in one terrifying blast, into the air far above their heads—black water, black mud, black rocks; and, following them with the bissing of a thousand rockets and the roar of a thousand cannon, a burst of whistle steam quickly outstripped and enveloped the unrushing mass. The explosion was awe-inspiring, terrible, grand beyond comparison. No more appalling, yet fascinating, spectacle can exist; no greater satisfaction can be experienced than to see such a phenomenon at close range. The sight is worth traveling thousands of miles over land and water to behold. The outburst had taken place in the fraction of a second. Almost immediately they were pelted with the sand and small stones which fell, as the exploded mass shot back into its crater, causing them to take refuge in the shelter but provided for that purpose on the summit of the cliff. In a moment all was over; the pond regained its usual placid surface and no sign, save the continued shower of sand, told of the mighty eruption which had taken place. Waimangu, though the greatest, is by no means the only natural feature which renders New Zealand a wonderland of never-failing interest. As you approach Rotorua a strange, unearthly smell of sulphur fills the air; white puffs of steam rise, for no visible reason, from green hills and valleys; huge mudholes by the roadside seethe and bubble like porridge in a caldron; hot lakes of extraordinary colors—yellow, blue, pink, green—and brilliantly colored strata along the mountain sides make you stare and rub your eyes to be sure that such apparent unrealities exist. Your nearest conception of an orthodox hell will be truly realized when you enter Valley of Tikitere, some ten miles from Rotorua. The earth is hot beneath your feet, the country gapes with steaming cracks, and if a cane is thrust a few inches into the soil a jet of steam or a spout of boiling water reminds you that, just beneath, the very bowels of the earth are seething toward the surface. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1932 When Mother Sews for Little Folks Juel fader AND now the spring sewing campaign begins. As a rule, "the children first" when mothers begin to sew. What with the little folk's needs taking precedence, it's time to look about for timely suggestions on the subject. As little daughter emerges from the tiny tot age, she wants her outfits fashioned more on the lines of the clothes mother or big sister wears. Wherefore, it appeals to her greatly to have a jacket suit somewhat after the styling of that of her elders. The skirt and jacket two-piece worn with dainty washable blouses has also the virtue of being eminently practical for the little girl who goes to school. Usually the tiny skirt is pleated like the one worn by the sprightly little lady posing to the right in the picture. There are many pretty checked materials which will make up successfully after this fashion. A rayon and wool weave is suggested, for mixtures of this sort launder perfectly, the presence of the rayon keeping the wool from shrinking. It also adds a pretty luster. The jacket may be fashioned along simplest lines as the picture portrays. As to the blouse, or perhaps it should be spoken of in the plural, for that is the beauty of a jacket suit—it admits of many a change when it comes to the blouse—it should show clever little trimming features. There is a new trim stitch decoration which is very effective and easily done. The work is entirely done by sewing machine. All that is needed for this is a trim stitch thread in both needle and bobbin, the needle being of the coarsest, and the guage set to nine or ten stitches to the inch. Worked in bright colors the effect is that of embroidery. The blouse which completes the jacket suit pictured, is of cross-bar lawn, all edges bound with bias trim. The beauty of bias trim is that it can be bought ready to use, thus proving a time-saver and a nerve-saver for everyone who has had the experience knows what a task it is to cut narrow strips on a true blas, to which add endless folding of edges. It is bias trim (bright green) which gives so pleasing a finish to the at- I It is considered tres chic for the blouse to button straight up the front as you see in the picture. This model is of emerald green wool, finished with bindings of brown braid. It is worn with a skirt of red brown wool. Brown kid oxfordes with built-up leather heels answer to the call of the hour for definitely smart footwear. The brown argora turban with small green feathers at each side supplies its quota of chic. tractive palmata outfit illustrated to the left. The material is a quality- kind cotton print-saffron and green on a white background. Even little daughter is letting her hair grow these days with the result that hair ribbons have come back. The latest is to match the hair ribbon with a linen collar and cuff set unless the set is white, in which case the hair ribbon matches its trim. These collar-and-cuff sets are so easy to make there is no reason why every little lady should not have several of them. The one shown in the picture on the dulity little miss in the foreground is of baby blue linen, of Puritan cut with shlaces, the shlashes interworked with fagoting done with a trim stitch thread in contrasting color. The fagoting also unites a bias trim bordering to the collar and cuff edges. The bias trim can be bought folded under and ready to apply, which is a time-saver and a nerve-saver when it comes to narrow strips on a true blas—and think of the endless folding! Thin sheer woolens made up in two colors such as a brown crepe with a rose-colored yoke, belt and other details are features in the realm of juvenile modes. The fair for corduroy which is insistent in the adult world is also reflected among children's fashions. A type of school suit which is ideal for midseason has a shapely skirt formed of many gores. The jacket is collarsless, is hiplength and is belted. For the littler tots the bolero is favored in that it can be taken off and put on so easily. There is a tendency in designing party frocks for the very young to introduce long-skirted effects with quaint high waists and sashes. A yellow-flowered organdie, for instance has a floor length full skirt. The high waist is defined with a wide sash of yellow taffeta. Handsome and as practical as it is good looking is white washable satin for the making of dressy frocks and blouses for little folks, for anyone who has had the experience of washing satin of this description knows how perfectly it may be tubbed. (6) 1932, Western Newspaper Union.) NEW MODELS GIVE VERVE TO SATIN Take a length of black satin, add to it a dash of white satin, and you have a most wearable frock. Early in the season there was quite a lot of satin shown, but it hasn't been worn so much through the winter. But for early spring it would not be surprising to see several models of black satin with white satin touches making a grand success. Such a black satin frock, cut on suit lines, is vastly becoming and is luxurious without being too lavish. Always an effort should be made to see that there is a dash and a gay air to the black satin frock; otherwise it has a tendency to look heavy and set which means, of course, that it looks old and is inclined to make the weaker look rather too matronly, something that even the matron of long standing usually wants to avoid. Lace Bolero Jackets New Note for Evening Colored venetian lace bolero jackets are a new note for evening wear. One of the newest dinner dresses is designed of black crepe in the princess silhouettes with bodice of light blue georgette over which is worn *bolero of pale blue venetian lace.* Fur Collar and Cuff Sets Add Dash to Coat Everyone will like to know about the fur collar and cuff sets that are being sold over the counters. A winter coat could have an interlining added and one of these sets imposed upon it and turn out to be winter's greatest success. SOME OF THE MANY Letters Relative to the Editor's Probable Candidacy for Congress- man-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 Con- gressman-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 tight. Would be glad to hear from Columbus, O., Dec. 6th, 1931. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Harry;—I am sending the enclosed clipping from the "Sund day Dispatch" and hope that the can- didacy statement it contains is abso- bultely true: "Since Ohio is to elect two Congressman-at-Large, this fail, 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 nomination for Governor, is being importuned from various parts of the state to 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, a hint to a candidate for Congressman-at-Large, are being 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 raiser. They were realizing the difference. He is seldom in his office, and I have observed that none of the seem to get farther from messenger's desk. The Willberforce 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 by the other race. I could go on for pages in this letter, showing the differences, but such is my aim. I want to write about you. I have that 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 "mirabile dictu" out comes The Dispatch's announcement 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 to represent 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. Bert L. Gardner 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.

CALLS STEVENSA 'FANATIC' SO CHARACTERIZES ONE OF THE GRANDEST FIGURES IN AMERICAN HISTORY And One of Our Best Friends—Appeals to the Home of Mob Violence for Political Support, at Democrats' Recent "Victory Dinner". Washington, D. C.—The Jackson Day feast arranged by the Democrats of this city for Friday night, Jan. 8, was a gathering of Democratic chieftains that, according to many who "listened in," "broke out in sectionalism upon the first course and ran throut the hours of the feast." Dubbed a Victory of honor and principal speakers were all leaders of a "lost cause" in reverse order—Smith in 1928, Davis in 1924, and Cox in 1920. Former Governor James M. Cox, of Dayton, Ohio, in his comment on prohibition, characterized "Thaddeus Stevens as a "fanatic" and lauded Wade Hampton, Ben Hill, Lamar and other traitors, when he reminded his hearers of the attitude of Democrats of the north during the Reconstruction to the treason and to the gratitude of the sons and daughters of the south to stand with the north, Cox said; "We forced the 'bloody shirt' leaders in the north aside and let the truth go to our people. May we not, now, respectfully ask that you call political ecclesiastics back to their faith that truth may go to your people." Negro Democrats, who tuned in to catch notes of harmony, got instead an "earful" of most discordant strains; and all "leaners" of the race, who are now preparing to drink from the Democratic cup of 1932 must seriously ponder over the blasts emitted at this Democratic love-feast. To all Negro Americans, who take an ounce of money in their an analysis of the oratory and misstatements of the Jackson Day dinner will instantly disclose a basis for the saddest reflections. The statements of Gov. Cox are sufficient to convince any thinking person that the Democratic party is as bitter toward them now as it was in the balmy days of Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee. Gov. Cox, in his appeal (and body) of the Democratic party, could have retained some respect for himself, and those to whose leadership he aspires, had he added an appeal to that same Democratic section to renounce lynchings, do away with mob violence, and give to citizens within their confines the equal protection of the laws. But the Governor, in his "wet heat," gave not a thought to the thousands of Negroes in the area to which he directed his fighting in terror and fear of mob violence and other forms of illegal extermination, and neonage. The Governor cares naught for such specta- With Brush, Pa With Brush, Paint and Curtains By EMMA LOU FETTA THE latest way to have a good view is to have one painted for your own personal use. As in all periods of slackened national optimism, artists are suffering just now. Here is your opportunity to give an artist some work to do and to put a view where you haven't one. The illustration shows a striking example. The living room in a New York apartment on the third floor of a great apartment house was provided with a view consisting solely of blank brick walls and a neighbor's window. Now the kind of view that you get in New York if you are "up high" is a dramatic one of skyscrapers. New Yorkers generally see their views—when they have them.

Ritchie, of Maryland, has a blind eye and a deaf ear for such "trivials" none of which is as important as a glass of beer. Of the most stevens, of Pennsylvania, now long since deceased whose citizen fellows so highly re C. W. JAMES M. COX garded him that they have erected a monument to his memory along with those to Grant, Lincoln and other heroes of our country, there ver was a man who Negroes should revive and honor it he. To Negroes, the life of Stevens approached that of a savior, a justice, a humanitarian. His zeal for right and justice remained firm through a long life of usefulness and left a memory of gratitude which Negroes of America can never forget. Negro Democrats and sympathizers should look deeply into the past—even at the life of Jackson himself who so warmly praised and appreciated the services of Negro soldiers under him at New Orleans—and contrast the same with that of the present array of Democratic zealots such as those who should remove all doubt as to the party which should receive the benefit of Negro ballots in the coming presidential election. int and Curtains called in Edgar Bohman, a mural designer, and said in effect: "Give me a grand New York view." We fancy that if this logical patron of art had been a suburbanite without a view, or one living in an ugly neighborhood, we mustously said: "Give me a garden view", or "Give me some waving fields and a distant mountain." In the illustrated case the window was first arranged with sheer but closely constructed durene net curtains designed to blot out attractively the ugly outside wall and window. Then Mr. Bohman set to work and constructed with paints and brushes two typical New York scenes, one on either side of the window. A more stunning result could scarcely be found. ur Advertisers uding It Reading It
