SIR JOHN BURTON
Patrolman James Blaha, with guns and blackjacks, he took away from Democratic challengers (Sheriff Sulman's special deputies) who were using them to scare our voters (Republicans) away from the polls, Jan. 12, 1932.
TRIED TO INTIMIDATE
Our Voters With Sheriff's Deputies Armed With "Gats" (Revolvers)
—"Bloody Shirt" Days in the South Recalled?
That every enfranchised voter of this city shall, on Tuesday, Feb. 16, enjoy his constitutional right to vote for the candidate of his own choice—without being driven away from the voting booth, guns, chalk and real or bodily injury—was the substance of the declaration made by the Hon. Clarence J. Brown, Secretary of the State of Ohio and State Supervisor of Elections.
Deputies of the Secretary of State were at work in Cleveland, early in the week, investigating reports that Democratic challengers, armed like outlaws, had been placed in the voting booths during the primary election with the intention of intimidating voters that favored us in the candidate of the Gongwer Democratic organization.
Proof, that could not be denied, was presented to the investigators from Columbus and they were compelled to report to the Secretary of State that the charges were true. The result was a statement from Columbus that Cleveland would, this time, enjoy a fair election even if the State authorities themselves had to step in and supervise the conduct of the investigation. On Tuesday, when the state deputies first intervened, certain individuals high in the Gongwer organization and even one of the Democratic
POLITICAL 'HOT-SHOT.'
At the League of Women Voters meeting, Tuesday, at Hotel Statler, Ray T. Miller, Democratic candidate for mayor, claimed to have executive ability (something absolutely necessary in order to make a successful chief executive of this city) because he had been an adjunct in the army at the age of 22 and because he "had courted a girl who was secretary of the Associated Charities." Ain't this a rich recommendation for one who, as mayor of Cleveland, would have the control of millions of dollars of the taxpayers' money?
County Prosecutor Miller claims credit for cleaning up the playgrounds, Dr. E. W. Wal-former councilman, dug up the information, and the Schoolys (father and son) plead guilty. Now just who did Ray send to the penitentiary? Nobody but poor Tom Fleming.
Did Miller have indictments returned against Sheriff Hauratty Sheriff Sulzmaan or Ed. Anderson who pocketed registration cards? NO! These gentlemen were all Democrats! In his campaign speeches, Miller talks of "economy and city government" when reports show that his office is the most extravagantly and
newspapers, tried to make it appear that the investigators had been sent here because of irregularities in the registration of voters for the final election. But it became known within a few hours that the Columbus men were here in response, not to the protests of the Democratic faction, but because of the disgruntled outlawry of the Democrats themselves. Fair-minded citizens, throughout the week, have been expressing their keen disappointment that the methods used by the Gongwe machine
OUR DUTY:
Vote for DANIEL E. MORGAN,
REPUBLICAN candidate for mayor,
on Tuesday, Feb. 16, 1932. This for "the good and welfare" of our people in this community!
to attempt to scare our Republican voters away from the polls, should have made state intervention necessary. This is regarded as a blot on the fair name of Cleveland as a clean city, where political contests may be waged in a manner open and above-board, where the constitutional rights of its citizens are rightly regarded as sacred.
Daniel E. Morgan as Republican candidate has been waging a clean fight for the office of mayor. Many regard it as shameful that the entire campaign could not have been kept on this high level. But, at least, now it is a fact that our voters can on Tuesday, Feb. 16, feel free to vote for the man of their choice.
expensively managed office in the court house
Tuesday night at a meeting of the Painters' Union, local No. 867, Harry McLaughlin, local labor-leader, said: "Miller is a nice boy who comes from a small town and who doesn't know things because he hasn't 'grown up.' Mr. Morgan talks about relief, and Mr. Miller talks about the police-force. A hungry man can't eat a policeman." Last fall, during the charter amendment campaign, Cleveland's three dailies urged the retention of the manager role because of the managerial ability of Manager Morgan. That was only three months ago, too. It is very different now, it seems, in the case of the two Democratic dailies The Press and The Plain Dealer. Daniel E. Morgan is not only a Harvard man but has had experience as a councilman, member of the state legislature, as a lawyer and city manager for two years.
your Chicago. Next to the Dayton affair, Clarence Darrow, the great criminal lawyer, seems proudest of his defense of 11 Afro-Americans during the "Dr. Sweet" race-riot trial in Detroit, when he established, for the first time in an American court, that "right of castle" belongs to all Americans. Frank Murphy, now Detroit's mayor, was the trial judge.
"THE TRUTH"
With the assistance of the few "colored Democrats" in the community, the local Democratic organization has distributed, more or less thoroughly, in the third and fourth councilmanic districts principally, during the past two weeks, a little four-page pamphlet labelled "The Truth which is not popular all the time" or "of the truth from our people's viewpoint, by a good deal. In the first place, it refers to "promises made before election by Republican bosses," at least some of which are kept, but says nothing about promises made before election by Democratic bosses that are never kept and are never intended to be kept.
Last fall, the Democrats had four Afro-American candidates for the council. The total vote given them was so ridiculously small that was perfectly in the interest of the country that hardly a white Democrat voted for any one of them. This has always been the case in the past, as far as our people and the local Democratic party are concerned.
The pamphlet's statement that "for years the Republican party (local) has promised to give the colored voters a colored judge" is not true. The first promise of this kind was made to the late Theodore "Dode" Green, son of Senator John P. Green, several months before his death. There was no promise of this kind other than the one referred to and it was not generally known. Our failure to have a judge on the local municipal or common pleas court bench is the result of a lack of courtroom and common pleas not used the part of the common people of this community. This was clearly evident, last fall, when Mr. Maurice Maschke and the local Republican organization did all they could to assist in securing the coveted position.
The pamphlet, "The Truth," then goes on to advise our people of this community "to take their votes away from the Republican party" but falls utterly to call attention to the fact that prairie voters oppose the Constitution, and privileges, enforce community, and in the country, are resultant from our support of the Republican party. What has the Democratic party, from Ben Tillman's time, and before, down to and including that of Ray T. Miller, Democratic candidate for mayor, done for our people here or anywhere else in New York City? Practically nothing! And that isn't the worst of it.
This same Mr. Miller, before being elected county prosecutor, promised the few "colored Democrats" in the community that he would appoint one of their number as an assistant. This he not only failed to do but refused to do until a few weeks before the opening of his campaign for reelection. His excuse that the few "colored Democrats" could not agree upon Atty. Peter Boutt, leading candidate for the place, was positively whether Democrats or Republicans would upon anything and in spite of that fact appointments are made. It was only in recent weeks that Assistant County Prosecutor Shey Minor, in a communication to The Gazette, made the statement that he was prosecuting only his own unfortunate people because he "preferred to do so." Strange, isn't it? What sort of a prosecuting attorney is Mr. Miller, or any other man, who would permit such a thing? Everybody knows why Minor is prosecuting only unfortunate of his own race or group. They must be held responsible for prosecutor Miller must be held responsible for it and would not allow it if he as friendly toward our people as the few "colored Democrats" would have us believe.
Everybody with the least bit of "political horse-sense" knows, because it has always been true in the past, in this city, that in event of the election of a Democratic mayor practically four or five hundred memb- ers in race who hold positions and jobs in the government will "walk the plank" will "fill their jobs, and that nearly all of the jobs will be given to Democrats, mainly Irish who sustain the same relation to the Democratic party that our people do to the Republican party. They will claim the jobs and get them, just as they did under Mayors Tom Johnson and Newton D. Baker. Not a dozen of the "colored Demo- ricans" will suffer so much noise, will secure jobs, will replace the four or five hundred African- American Republicans who would be let in and too when it is impossible to buy a job, so bad is the present economic

The Next Chief Executive of the City of Cleveland—Election, Tuesday—Do Not Fail to Vote!
It is not difficult for our voters of this city to reach a conclusion as to how to vote on Tuesday. Ninety-nine not ninety-nine and a half per cent of us are Republicans. Naturally we like to see our party win. There are two candidates to be voted for next Tuesday, and they are Daniel E. Morgan, Republican, and Ray T. Miller, Democrat.
Former City Manager Morgan is so well known to the entire community, and his standing and record in public office are such as to commend him in the strongest possible manner to the entire electorate of the city of Cleveland. He is a quiet, but successful worker; a man who accomplishes without a half hour. It was so while he was a member of the State Senate where he led in the work for three terms (six years), and so while he was city manager of Cleveland.
avail, nor would glorious promises of miraculous reform in the municipal pal government keep the city within a shranken budget, nor put bread in to the mouths of starving thousands Financial depression was upon Cleveland land as it was upon the whole world. There was need for increasing service ice, but to pay for increased service there was no corresponding increase in revenue, but rather, a very serious shortage of资金.
Even, from shrunken resources then available, money was found to give work to more than 16,000 men, not not have been able to survive the bitter winter of 1930-1931. In addition to this Mr. Morgan played a leading part in securing the passage of the Roberts Pringle Act which made available nearly one million dollars for direct relief, money that was spent in providing for thousands of fortunate who were without means of livelihood.
Daniel E. Morgan is a graduate of Oberlin college, an attorney of many years' experience, and years ago served in the City Council of Cleveland from the section of the city which was largely populate. "by our people. They need no introduction to him. Mr. Morgan has served as a member of the Municipal Council, the Municipal Research Bureau and in other responsible positions, always most successfully. He is the only candidate at Tuesday's election who has had the experience necessary to make him the kind of a mayor of Cleveland its citizens desire. He gained it as city manager, and no one for a single moment questions the fact that he served the community well, admirably: As city manager, Daniel E. Morgan was part parallel in the history of the city, and met that problem with courage and decisive action. Then, as now, the case was one where wild theories were of no
depression or state of unemployment. This, too, in spite of the many promises local Democratic leaders have made the few misguided members of the race who are making so much noise, styling themselves Democrats. Someone, may years ago, said something more serious or ennui only? It is difficult to understand how a sane, intelligent, and loyal member of the race, with self and race respect, can ally himself with the Democratic party which is led by the bitterest enemies the race has—Cole Bleaseet of South Carolina, Tom-Tom" effin of Georgia, oration of the Klam; Pat Harrison of Mississippi to the enemy. All those mentioned are either U. S. senators or ex U. S. senators.

avail, nor would glorious promises of miraculous reform in the municipal government keep the city within a shrunken budget, nor put bread into the mouths of starving thousands. Financial depression was upon Cleveland as it was upon the whole world. There was need for increasing service, but to pay for increased service was difficult,ounding in revenue, but rather, a very serious shortage of funds. Even, from shrunken resources, then available, money was found to give work to more than 16,000 workers who might otherwise not have been able to survive the bitter winter of 1930-1931. In addition to this Mr. Morgan played a leading part in securing the passage of the Roberts-Pringle Act which made available nearly one million dollars for direct relief to the poor, providing for thousands of unfortunate who were without means of livelihood.
The office of mayor of Cleveland is a tremendously important one—a position that carries with it in normal times heavy responsibilities and particularly now when all of our government has to deal with problems peculiar to the times, to the unfortunate economic depression which affects not only us but the whole world.
It was under City Manager Morgan's administration that our people of this community secured increased and better representation than we have ever held in the history of the city. Cleveland, Harvey Atkins appointed deputy city clerk; L. L. Yaucey, deputy city treasurer, and Seth Nickens, superintendent of the garbage plant. In addition to the foregoing, hundreds of our men were given employment in the city's service and every member of the race, male or female, who had occasion to city on Mr. Morgan at city hall, with respect to his testy and respect accorded all, without reference to religion, race or class.
Daniel E. Morgan has met the test and, on Tuesday, will undoubtedly be elected mayor by the electorate of Cleveland because he is the only candidate with the needed experience in the office and because he has demonstrated the fact that he is able, kind, fair and just.
ELECT DR. CHILDERS
Cadiz, O.—The following is from the Cadiz Daily Republican of Feb. 4, '32: "The former parishoners of the St. James A. M. E. church, of which Dr. Oliver W. Childers was a former pastor, are much pleased over the reports that he will likely be elected as one of the bishops of the coming General Conference of the Church in Cleveland in May. Dr. Childers was pastor of the church here from 1912 to 1917. After holding the largest revival in the history of the Cadiz church, during which scores were converted, he built the present building on the corner of Market and Buffalo Sts., and also the parsonage adjoining, both of which are a credit to the church and to his race. Since leaving Cadiz he has been pastor of the leading churches of his denomination in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Dayton, the latter place erecting an edifice to the $80,000, said to be the most modern colored church in the state. Dr. Childers is a man of strong character and he is held the highest esteem by both the colored and white people of Cadiz.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1932.
We have been invited to send several copies of The Gazette to "The All Nations Press Exhibition" to be held in Tiflis, Republic of Georgia, later in the year, where 249 countries speaking 181 different languages are expected to be so represented. The first International Press Exhibition was held in Cologne in 1928 and had newspaper representation from only 90 countries speaking but 100 different languages.
When the whole truth is given to the American people, instead of a small part of it with a lot of propaganda intended to justify particularly the acts of our representatives, diplomatic and naval, in China, the Japanese will be found to be not so much to blame. They have had much unfairness and mistreatment from the Chinese who have ignored treaty relations, and undoubtedly have been provoked to a large extent into the course they are following. Japan has one of the best armies and navies in the world, today, and was accumulating wealth during the world war while all the other countries engaged in it were getting head-over-heels in debt. And ever since Japan has been preparing for war. It will be well to remember these things when inclined to be influenced by the misleading propaganda in American daily newspapers.
"UNCLE SAM" INCONSISTENT.
A writer in a local daily paper asks why is it America prefers to help make peace and establish justice in foreign lands, and neglects this duty at home when loyal citizens (Afro-Americans) are abused and lynchmurdered, and their civil rights and privileges denied here at home, rather than give the needed protection she wants to give a foreign nation?
Yes, why? First, because she (the U. S.) prefers to protect American investments abroad, and secondly, because she refuses to affront the prejudiced whites of the south to afford the needed protection to Afro-Americans there. A case of "blood is thicker than water," pure and easier in the matter of "making peace and establishing justice in foreign lands," Uncle Sam is the world's greatest "grandstand player."
FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
Our people in many parts of the country are at this time very properly celebrating the birthday of Frederick Douglass, our greatest character in American history. The other member of the race, second only to Frederick Douglass as a statesman and leader was the distinguished gentleman and scholar, John M. Langston. It was our great privilege and honor to know well both of these men, to have lived while they were still active in the affairs of our people and this country, and to know that there were a score or more of other leaders of the race who were exceptionally able and loyal even if they did not quite measure up to the high standards of Douglass and Langston. While the former, like the martyred President, Abraham Lincoln, did not know the exact date of his birth, Feb. 12 was decided upon as such, altho the following Sunday is usually selected in various parts of the country as the day for Douglass celebrations of various kinds. His great work, leading up to the emancipation, is almost equalled by his sterling efforts which followed it to secure to our people of this country all their rights and privileges as citizens. He led all the way, prior to and after the emancipation and until his death, in spite of efforts from all sources to the contrary. To honor him is to en
courage loyalty of race, and to increase race and self-respect. Every community of our people should do this, annually.
DR. CHILDERS FOR BISHOP?
Rev. Oliver W. Childers, a native Ohioan, former pastor of St. Johns A. M. E. church, this city, is being put forward by his scores of friends, in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts particularly, for election to the bench of bishops of the great A. M. E. Church. The next general conference of the Church will be held in this city in May and Dr. Childers, who has pastored large A. M. E. churches in several other cities of this state as well as Cleveland, also in Pittsburgh and Boston, is just the man to be elevated to the highest office or position in the Church. He is decidedly able, a Christian gentleman of courage and dignity, broad-minded, loyal and in possession of all the other qualities that a bishop should have. Altho modest and unassuming, he is quiet aggressive and measures up fully to the status of a real leader in both race and church work. We have known Dr. Childers ever since he was a lad. He is clean morally—a great asset. His splendid work for the church in Cadiz, and Dayton where he erected $80,000 edifice, said to be one of the most modern in Ohio; and in Cleveland and Pittsburgh secured him, more than anything else, his present position as pastor of Charles St. church, Boston, Mass., the largest A. M. E. organization in that city and the state of Massachusetts. There will be no candidate for the bishopric with a higher standard of morals, or one more capable and deserving, than the Rev. Oliver W. Childers whom The Gazette takes pleasure in commending in the strongest possible manner. The great A. M. E. Church will honor itself by elevating him to its bench of bishops here in Cleveland in May. All A. M. E. pastors in Ohio should unite in a solid phalanx in support of Dr. Childer's candidacy.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
In spite of the fact that Abraham Lincoln's great emancipation proclamation gave the South more than three months—from Sept. 25, 1862, to Jan. 1, 1863—in which to lay down their arms and retain their slaves, he is the greatest character in the history of the United States of America. Lincoln is such not only because he saved the Union, but because he was the ablest president of this country up to that date and still stands as one of, if not the ablest. The great emancipator's decree, freeing the slaves, was a war measure, pure and simple, and was issued not only as the result of conviction and sentiment but also in order to save the Union, his heart's desire. This should be thoroly understood by those who wish to correctly understand the greatest figure in the history of our country. The immortal George Washington, whose bicentennial celebration will open, this month, to be continued until Thanksgiving day (in the fall), ranks second only to Lincoln because he was not the great mental giant that Lincoln was even if he was "the father of this country." Lincoln and Washington are the only two characters in American history that lead that other wonderful character, General and later President Ulysses S. Grant who did so much to help the great martyred president and emancipator to achieve his heart's desire—save the Union. Abraham Lincoln's great deed, public speeches and documents are like good wine. They grow better in the minds and hearts of the peoples of the world with each succeeding year. This country, from its birth to this day, has not produced such an outstanding historical or live character. Abraham Lincoln still towers above them all.
MUSICAL ACTIVITIES.
It is a common complaint of race musicians that Afro-American audiences do not possess a proper sense of musical appreciation. There is an indescribable thrill in being able to play in a manner that will enthuse one's hearers, to make them laugh with you, make them cry with you. It can be done, but the field for displaying such talent must be developed. The ability to understand, and appreciate music is acquired only thru a knowledge of, or an acquaintance with music. What are our musical organizations doing to enable the race to develop a sense of appreciation for music of the better class?

WHAT'S DOING!
Ex-State Senator, Daniel E. Morgan, former city manager and Republican candidate for mayor at Tuesday's election, addressed the U. N. I. A. at its headquarters in 40th St. Sunday evening, opening his address with a discussion of his part in placing members of the race in responsible positions—in the city clerk and treasurer's offices and at the garbage plant. Councilman L. O. Payne, in introducing Mr. Morgan, referred to the opening of the City hospital to our internes and student-nurses, but forgot to open it the three-year figure opened it to our youth, in line with the at length of obstacles that had to be overcome before the appointments at City hospital could be made and said there was opposition, based on fear, that since had been proved groundless; also of prejudices that had to be "ironed out" before our interne was accepted at City hospital, saying that one of the doctors who opposed the appointment of our interne had reported, in the last three weeks, that he "was one of the most client in the hospital." He also praised all of the other appointees making positions and jobs under his administration. Mr. Morgan makes a very favorable impression indeed at all of his meetings, particularly because he refrains from the use of personalities and convinces the people that there is an issue in this campaign.

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.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT
OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION
Our mob-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 and 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 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:
MOBS.
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. Gauntlet 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 "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.)
Section 6279. The term "serious injury" for the purpose of this chapter shall be inquired as per manually or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.)
Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which such assault occurred in Section 6211. Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. 12.5).
Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damnable, may recover of the county 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, share and share alike, the widow rejoices, and the child rejoices, share if there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be any of his liabilities. (§316.282)
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by a mob (93 v. 162 6.). An action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, 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 law for the county, shall be a part of the augment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)
Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.)
Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of the damage and costage 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. (93 v. 162 10.)
Section 6288. If a mob carries a

Several other north-eastern 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:

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 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 enclosed while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894 The General Code of Ohio: 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, not 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 recoup in lieu of a competent 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.
THE SOVIET FILM
Being Considered by the State Board of Censors, Very Interesting.
"Son of the Land," one of the latest Soviet films, witnessed, Saturday night, by a representative of The Guzette at a pre-view showing, is a gripping drama of life in southeastern Russia which has a strong human appeal. It depicts life among the "Dekhans", or peasants, who suffer from the inhuman treatment of their overlord husbands by the shooting of his brother at the hands of the mountain bandit tools of the overlords, leads his comrades in rebellion against their oppressors. He joins an American engineering group which is building a dam to control the waters then held and owned by the landowners, and learns the secret of artificial irrigation. Later, he frustrates an attempt to destroy the dam by the lords. The control of the waters is from the landowners and the valleys become fruitful for the toiling peasants. The film is a striking contrast to the average American film, as it is a simple story of peasant life, entirely devoid of any romantic touch. The acting is by peasant characters, the photography splendid, and the dramatic action moves with great speed, passed by the Ohio Board of Censors, but will be reviewed by them at an early date.

Dear Friend: I have read

through and after reading it,
I can truthfully say: It is
worth its weight in gold!
I admire true manhood—a
man who, seeing injustice
and oppression, dares, within
the church, 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
McNells, 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
being a true friend of our
class. I long life to you and
The Gazette.
Yours for the right,

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 babaib in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assasin!

3 RULES big help to BOWELS
What a joy to have the bowels move like clockwork, every day! It's easy, if you mind these simple rules of a famous old doctor:
1. Drink a big tumblerful of water before breakfast, and several times a day.
2. Get plenty of exercise without unduly fatiguing yourself.
3. Try for a bowel movement at exactly the same hour every day.
Everyone's bowels need help at times, but the thing to use is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Then you'll get a good cleaning-out, and it won't leave your inside weak and watery. This family doctor's prescription is made from fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin, and other ingredients. It also helps a child. But how it will wake up those lazy bowels! How good you will feel with a clean system! At drugstores everywhere.

Brown, 2269 E. 40th St. The committee is engaged in collecting data for the writing of the history of Negroes in Cleveland. Yesterday's interview with Editor Smith, who has lived in Cleveland for over sixty years, during forty-nine of which he has published articles, is in which old residents are furnishing this historical material.
Over fifty years ago, according to Mr Smith, there were many flourishing businesses conducted by colored men in Cleveland. He recalled the restaurant and catering establishment of John Lee, located about halfway between what is now E. 9th St and Euclid Ave. on the north side of the city, where he dawned the first families of the city. John Hope operated as a shoe-merchant in the business section and James Tucker as such in Sterling Ave., now E. 30th St. They also made shoes for a number of Cleveland's wealthiest and leading residents. Freeman Morris, merchant trilor, had his store near Sheriff St. (now E. 4th) on Prospect St. (Prospect Ave.), now part of the site of the city's landmark stands. The land was leased for a long term of years by Morris' heirs (two) for an annual rental which started at $33,000. Prince Freeman was a well-known and leading musician about seventy-five years ago, arranging many orchestral scores, even using selections from leading operas and adapting them for quadrilles, featuring duets for clarinet and cornet. B. Freeman no relation to Prince Freeman, no relation to D. Mitchell who other leading musicians of color in Cleveland in the early days.
More than 50 years ago, Ernest Orsburn, basso, sang in the choir of Grace P. E. church with Evans Williams, the great tenor (white), whose voice out-ranked Caruso's in sweetness of tone, if not in volume, according to Mr. Smith. Mrs. Orsburn was a graduate of Sunday School for several years. Colored citizens were also active in the political life of the city, fifty and more years ago. Former State Senator John P. Green was elected a Justice of the Peace and served for nine years. Lew Turner and Parker Hare, both of whom have sons now living in costumes, were the colored graduate of Central High School. Atty. Charles W. Chestnut
was assigned by local daily newspapers to take shorthand reports of important speeches, over forty years ago.
George W. Brown, an employee of the City Civil Service Commission, chairman of the research committee of the local branch of the Association of the Shore Coast Negro History, is assisted in the work by Miss Essie Klinger, Miss Becky Hellerstein, L. L. Powell, Louis A. Williams and Joseph Myers.

"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.

Street Laundry in Genoa.
(Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.)—NVU Service. A MUJU MAN, recently, was blown into bits near Genoa to make way for a seaside highway between the city and Sampieriademan, one of its suburbs. Before excited Genoese who crowded every vantage point, tons of dynamite, which had been poured into 700 foot drilled holes, leveled the rocky barrier, thrusting a large part of it into the Genoa harbor.
Genoa may be considered the Alma Mater of the Americas. She nurtured Christopher Columbus in his boyhood years, when he dreamed the dreams that were to shape his life; communicated to him a love of the sea that had made her great; imbued him with a dominating thrist for the adventure that was hinted at by every strange galley and caravel that crowded her harbor, and all the motley throng of bronzed seamen from distant lands who jogged elbows with him on her quavs.
And, having reared the boy Columbus in this atmosphere, the city sent him forth to battle with true Genoese spirit for his dreams until that October day in 1492 when, fulfilling them, he wring a hemisphere from oblivion to add it to the map of the world.
The Genoa of today is a great modern city, if you center your attention on its industries, on its steel ships, on the dwellings of its upper tiers, on the business of the Via Venti Settembre (20th of September street), and the crowds of prosperous-appearing, well dressed people who throng that thoroughfare morning and evening to holiday proportions
But Genoa is not only a modern city. The links that tie the present to the times of Columbus, and to days long before his, still hold strongly. One may step on the very stones on which young Christopher walked; the walls that rose beside the narrow ways that his restless young feet trod still stand, block after block of them; and only a few steps from the present business heart of the city, where beautiful modern buildings rise about the Piazza De Ferriari and the Via Venti Settembre starts upon its broad, straight way, is the most important link of all, the House of Columbus.
This dwelling of Domenico Colombo, father of the future admiral, and of Susanna, his mother, was the place in which Christopher spent his early boyhood. Tourists must view this historic old house from the outside, unless they have a special permit.
Records All in Palaces.
Official records of the family of Columbus are kept in municipal offices. These offices are in one of the beautiful old palaces of the Genoese nobles. Whatever activity you search for in Genoa, it seems, you find in a palace. The city offices are in one, the port officials transact their business in another, the prefect looks after museums of state in a third; and others are museums, art galleries, schools, and telegraph offices. You begin to wonder, as you make your way from palace to palace, whether the butchers and bakers and candlestick makers of Genoa conduct their businesses in these sumptuous structures, and to doubt that in Genoa's palestiest there were any commoners at all to live in mere houses.
In the municipal palace Genoa keeps mementos of her illustrious sons, whether by birth or forced adoption. There are portraits of the great statesman, Mazzini; the incomparable explorers, Marco Polo and Columbus; and sundry heroes of the Crusades. In a glass case rest the violin and bow of the world's master violinist, Paganini.
At an end of the council chamber, carved from one piece of marble, stands a tall pedestal surmounted by a bust of Columbus. A recess has been cut into the pedestal and fitted with an ornamental bronze door. This a custodian unlocks and takes from their marble resting place Genoa's most precious documents: three letters written by the hand of Christopher Columbus and signed with his curious signature, and a parchment book containing copies of the documents through which various privileges and titles were conferred upon him by Ferdinand and Isabella.
All the letters were written from Seville to Genon, two in 1502, as the great navigator was preparing for his fourth and last voyage, and one in 1504, after his return from the New world, Two are to Nicolo Oderigo, an important citizen of Genon, who served as ambassador from the re
public to the Spanish court. That of March 21, 1502, tells of sending his book of privileges for safe keeping.
Treasures Carefully Guarded Now.
The letters are framed now and protected by glass. This was not always so, as the missing lower corner of one of the documents shows. This fragment, the custodian tells you, was torn off years ago by a tourist who had been courteously permitted to examine the letter—one of that inexplicable breed of vandals, the soulless souvenir hunter, to whom ethics apparently are beside the point.
As soon as a privileged visitor has examined the treasures, the watchful curator takes his treasures and locks them again in their queer place of safe keeping. The Columbus house is some distance away but every step adds interest to the traveler's stay in the city. The narrow, winding streets teem with an intimate mixture of wheeled traffic and pedestrians. Some of these ways have narrow sidewalks, from which the pedestrians spill over at intervals. Others have no curbs, and one must needs compete for space with taxis, open "cabs," and laden carts. Still other ways are mere crevasses between old five and six storied tenement houses, far too narrow for wheeled vehicles. Suddenly you leave these congested streets and come out into the Piazza D Ferrari, the largest of the open spaces within Genoa's business sections. One side of the square is lined with the buildings of Old Genoa, the walls of palaces for the most part; but on the opposite side a newer Genoa stands forth—the Teatro Carlo Felice, the Academy of Belle Arts, the new Bourse, the post office. These fine structures are relatively new and form the portal to the Via Venti Settembre.
When this era of new construction was under way many ancient buildings were demolished. Part of the ground so obtained was used as sites for the new structures and part was left vacant and added to the piazza. One of the blocks of closely packed buildings marked for destruction contained the house of Columbus. The identity of this edifice had long been lost, but became known in 1885, after which the property was purchased by the municipality and set aside as a monument.
In the House of Columbus.
The house originally had five stories, but was only one room in width. It was hemmed in between taller buildings and was in part supported by these neighboring edifices. When this group was torn down the entire house of Columbus could not be left unsupported, so the upper three stories were removed. The two lower stories, roofed over, now stand isolated, an approximate cube of rough masonry—a sort of Genoese Kaaba and, like that sacred Meccan shrine, a center of world interest if not of pilgrimage.
Inside the large wooden door the traveler finds himself in a gloomy, unlighted, boxlike robe, wholly bare. It is some minutes before one's eye can make out the details of the interior. The floor is of stone, and the brick walls have a queer, jagged surface. Overhead the beams and thick floor boards have the same rough, nicked appearance. Your guide explains that for a long time before it had been identified the house had been used as a tenement by poor families of the city, and that when it came into possession of the municipality its walls and ceilings were encrusted with the grime of centuries. Scrubbing would do no good; so stone cutters were put to work with chisels and mallets to cut away the incrustations of half a millennium and to bring to light a surface at once clean and nearer to that of the Columbian era.
Toward the rear of the portion of the building still standing is a narrow, winding stair of wood. The front room on the second floor has two windows in the front wall, is more airy and is better lighted than that below and was probably one of the chief apartments of the Columbus family. Its walls, too, have been chipped to form a fresh surface, and the floor, reasonably clean, has probably been scraped. Into one of the side walls has been set a marble slab, carved into a charming base-relief of the Santa Maria, the ship which bore Columbus on his great adventure. In a corner stands a little statue of Columbus, the boy. These are the only mementos of the great man who as a child lived here; for the rest the house is bare

WOOL IS FAVORITE FOR EARLY SPRING
Bright Green or Red Will Be Popular Colors.
If you think that wool is all wound up, now that early spring things are in the air, you are very much mistaken. For the wool frock is more popular than ever, with houses showing them and women buying them quite as a matter of course.
There's nothing more useful than a wool dress, however it be made, that is, entirely simple, or else with a wealth of unobstructive yet very smart detail. The latest type is favored here and one sees such frocks at lunch time at the very smartest places, worn by the very smartest women. As wool sheds its heavy weight and texture, it also sheds its somber outlook and so we enjoy wool frocks done in bright, even vivid colors.
The bright green or red frock in woolen, will be the go for early spring wear. Color is a grand thing and we certainly all do need cheerful notes right now.
************************************************
Hats should be worn at a

Too late for the fur coat which becomes burdensome when winter is on the wane, too early to "go stepping" in a lightsome spring costume, wherefore arises the question "what-to-wear" in midseason. This picture of a handsome suit made of lightweight black Lyons velvet offers a happy solution to the problem. Not only does it carry the message of the continued favor for black-and-white, but it has within it pleasing and practical possibilities in that the coat can be worn as a separate wrap over spring frocks of gay print. The velvet skirt will do duty during the coming between-season days, topped with this blouse or that, or worn with one of the new sheer knit lacy sweaters which are now so vogulish.
Bias Trim Offers Easy
Way to Make Fagoting
If you want a quick and easy way to do fagoting, as in making collar and cuff sets, yokes or girdles for your own or your children's clothes, use the blasit trim, which comes all turned under, and cut on a perfect blasit, ready to apply. For the fagoting use trim stitch thread, which has a firm twist, with a glossy surface similar to silk, and is much easier to handle, as well as boltfast as to color. You can choose a transfer pattern as any well-equipped pattern counter. All you have then to do is to baste your blasit trim on the transfer paper, and fagot between the edges.
Dress-Like Coats Are
Appearing for Spring
Spring coats that resemble dresses are making their appearance. Little fur is being used for trimming except perhaps on the sleeves and in rare cases in detachable collars of single small pelts. Most of the collars are scarf-like. In one instance the wide scarf crosses in front and joins in the back just above the waistline. Diagonal weaves—new ones wide-ribbed with a lace or nubby mesh between the lines—are best. They are in two tones or three, usually different shades in the same color.
Button Trimmings
Buttons are increasing in importance on frocks this winter. Some of the newest morning models are trimmed with a row of buttons from belt to hemline.
SHORTER SKIRTS IS
DESIGNERS' EDICT
Answers Milady's Demand for Practical Clothes.
A return to short skirts this spring has been decided on by the London dress designers and manufacturers, following similar reports from Paris. Dresses and skirts for morning and afternoon wear are to be 13, 14, or 15 inches from the ground according to the stature of the woman. Skirts in sports wear will be the merest fraction below the knee. Evening dresses will be 3 inches above the ground in front, graduating to a floor-sweeping length at the back. Coats will be a length to conform to the shorter dresses. Eve's movement for revealing more of her lower limbs is not made from a desire to soften the heart of the dodging bachelor, preparatory to springing a leap-year proposal, but from her insistence on more practical clothes.
Designers declare that there has been an increasing demand for some time for shorter dresses on account of the inconvenience of shopping and travelling on bushes, taxis, and subways experienced by those wearing the longer styles.
FLASHES FROM PARIS
Gay-colored waist-length jackets accent black gowns.
Evening gowns favor covered shoulders.
Smart Parisiennes are wearing sheer, lacy wool scarfs.
French milliners sponsor exceedingly shallow crowns.
Frills and flowers give shoulder height to formal gowns.

MODISH GLOVES
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Throughout the advance style program special emphasis is placed on the matter of being smartly gloved. Pert and up-to-the-moment in fashion is the young woman pictured. For her winter-resort daytime outfit she has chosen a rough straw hat of newest lines. The brim dips over her right eye and the raven-break quill points upward, for tall trimming effects are in promise for spring. Milady wears long white dureme open-mesh gloves—very new and very chic. The flock appears at first glance also to be a mesh, but upon closer inspection it turn out to be fine crepe in a green pastel shade which is intricately embroidered in precisely the same color of dureme. The silk and dureme have contrasting stusters which make for a very novel material. The sports gloves shown are smart and fetching. They are designed for wear while motoring and golfing in warm climates. The palms are fashioned of pigskin with the backs made of dureme pinpoint mesh, so that they are both sturdy and cool.
Neckline Is Important
in the Spring Lineup
Collars on many of the dresses for early spring wear are all puffed up about their charm and importance in the sartorial scheme. More and more does the neckline command interest and so unique and original collars are here in full force, the collar very often being the style center of the frock.
All sorts of cowl necklines, with various modifications, will be used.
So much can be done with the neckline, and the frock that boasts a neckline that the wearer can manipulate and arrange to suit individually that they will always score. And so that means that scarf-necklines will be back in the spring lineup.
Blue in Varied Tones
Leading Spring Color
Blue in a variety of tones is a leading spring color. Beige, warm reds, grays and browns also are popular. Black is being used for late winter.
Stripes will lead for early spring, but the old-fashioned checks, bright plaids and flowered and designed prints are being shown.
Alice Joy, New Radio Star, Conquers Theatrical Jinx
WHAT'S IN A NAME; NEW BOOK TELLS ALL
SOME theaters are known to actors as "jinck" houses and they believe that plays opening in these bad luck houses are doomed to failure. The same is true of some radio studios. Several of the best known radio celebrities absolutely refuse to perform in studios they believe are "jinck". Joy, whose voice is heard by million, as she broadcast a six nights a week on the new Prince Albert Quarter Hour program over the NBC-WEAF chain, faced just such an illuminated studio when she made her her debut. She has a great deal of tepidation that she faced the microphone on that first night, but now she has overcome the fear and has regained a great deal of the self-confidence that she lost a fateful night. She held such terrores for Miss Joy is the NBC air theater in what was formerly the New Amsterdam roof. It is reserved for big openings and the more spectacular radio events because of the fact that a large audience can be accommodated.
Miss Joy learned to fear the place before it was a radio studio. It was several years ago when Gene Buck was the shows run there by the green creature in linene beauty. Florenz Ziegefeld. Buck heard Miss Joy sing and gave her a job in the show. Dressed as a street artist, she went before the sophisticated super crowd and sang several ballads over the clatter of dishes as the waiters moved among the tables. She later, and she stormed from the stage in
HOULD Mary Constance Jones snarry Joe Miller? According to numerology and Lorn Fantin, its well-known exponent, the answer is that Mary is a 6, and her brothers, it is found that Mary is a 6—the number of home, responsibility and luck. She is also friendly and charming—but love and real appreciation are necessary, and Mary is not missing, her letter is missing, worry and fretting take their place and destroy all her good qualities. Joe, though he may not know it, is a "fair" stuff of which saints and angels are mended, mendious ambitions, but is reserved and retiring. Without Mary's acceptance of responsibility, he might turn into a misfit—with suspicion, and greed taking the place of idealism.
It was in response to many thousand requests among the million or so listeners who wrote in to *Miss Fantin* while she was on the air that her mother was brought out. In a short introduction Miss Fantin says that she has made it as clear and concise as possible so that anyone, after a simple problem in addition, can turn to the given page and find out all about him. To illustrate her system, to illustrate her system, by which she has classed humanity into distinct types, Miss Fantin suggested analyzing the name Heywood Campbell Brom. Two people have ever heard that name," she said, "and they, as well as the man himself, would hardly recognize his character and destiny as analyzed by numerology. He would be a hustler, a super-salesman he would be a salesman, his originality, but needing always to be on the move. And now compare this
IS IT ANY USE TO CON-
TEND FOR RIGHTS?
Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination against social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without interest and are guts." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race.
Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

PROTEST! PROTEST!!
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 just the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

WHAT'S ROTTEN IN HAWAII
The Cleveland Daily Press in an editorial piece there is "something rotten in Hawaii" Absolutely no doubt of it! But the rottenness is to be placed at the door of the American sailors and marines whose contact with the native women of the country has been such, for years, as to get on the nerves of Hawaiian men who are undoubtedly retaliating by having contact with American women (white), especially those who spread themselves in abbreviated bathing suits on the beach while the "beach boys" (Kanakas, native Hawaiian men) will not do them no longer can take on "good tan," according to Miss Dorothy Mackail, noted U. S. film star-actress. Out of this contact, according to Miss Mackail, have grown many "affairs" between wealthy American white women and Hawaiians. So it is not difficult, but a very simple matter, to place the blame where it belongs and show that there is absolutely no justification for the high-handed and brutal manner of a Hawaiian by three members of the U. S. navy with the assistance of the mother of the wife (of one of the three, a lieutenant) whom it is claimed was "attackant" by the native killed. "The initial high-handed. attitude of the navy toward the Hawaiian civil government and regular judicial processes" was also very "southern" and characteristic of the treatment accorded by American officials abroad when having contact with yellow brains and black skin. Even Admiral W. V. Pratt, chief of naval operations, Washington, D. C., in speaking of the "Hawaiian affair," showed this animus so plainly in an early newspaper interview that he was compelled later on to qualify and soften it even the American newspapers still continue the effort to make people believe that there has been a "general break down of justice" in the island and that the natives are all to blame which, of course is not true. The fact becomes as clear as been gross "narrative of power" and American rottenness in Hawaii that "stinks to high Heaven" just as it did and still does in Hawaii where the American naval power dominates.
HAWAII
(From the Anderson Indiana Herald)
In Hawaii the white man is reaping what he sowed, and, as is so often the case, is unwilling to accept the harvest.
When the white man found the Hawaiian islands they were, indeed, the paradise of the Pacific. The natives were happy, carefree and healthy, with a sex life that was pure and beautiful. Disease, immorality and crime were part of the "civilization" the white man introduced to the islands.
Outrages against white women by natives and half-breeds were inevitable, but while the white race is demanding protection for its women let it be consistent and demand respect from its own kind for the native women to take upon a bare half dozen white women aroused to fever heat the passions of Christian whites who have never lifted a finger or uttered a word in protest against spoilation of Hawaiian womanhood by whites.
Hawaii's population has been corrupted, not improved, by contact and interbreeding with other races. American women living on the islands probably have done nothing to earn their lives, and they are not encouraged the attacks, but there is reason to suspect that white men living and (white men and women) visiting on the islands, have not set the best of examples.
It has been the history of the white race that whatever it finds it either murders or despolis. Its treatment of the Spanish conquerors adopts to the present time has been, with some exceptions, shameful and brutal. But it always demands good Christian treatment from heathen savages.
U. S. WHITE WOMEN SEEK NATIVE LURE!
Charmed With the Island's Eden- Like Fascination, Affairs With "Beach Boys" Have Been
(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 beach boy "beach boys" who been spelled by so-called 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 mixed element now on the island of Kahaui is the culture of Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese and Polynesian. What can we expect of these people when they see Kanakas openly receiving the attention of American women? Some American women behave in a manner little short of disgraceful on the beach at Walkikai, wearing abbreviated bathing suits and permitting the "beach boys" to apply coconut oil so they may go there to enjoy a shade that all this trouble has happened, for the islands are so 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, natives of Chicago, beat two week challenges 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 his reason, which made me more confident than to read erroneous statements concerning Hawaii which have been published in the Tribune during 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 all this trouble now brewing in Hawaii, 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 street than it is of a civilian. It is that only the wars on service men have been attacked, and not the thousands of white girls and women who live in Honolulu? It is because the service men refuse to leave the Honolulu girls alone." R. T. West.
