Miller save the people of this city several hundred thousand dollars? In the first seven months of his administration, this year, he exceeded the budget $413,000, so greatly had he increased instead of diminishing the city's total expense account. What we said last week, when the Democratic wind-storm broke, we retreated at this time—one would have to greatly discredit the intelligence, shrewdness and political experience of Leader Maurice Maschke and Councilman Herman Finkle to believe for a single moment that they had any criminal connection with any phase of the alleged county treasury shortage. Their indictment is nothing but political "hooey" which local Democrat officials will hold against their county ticket, this fall. It won't do it, however. Mark The Rounder's prediction. Employees of the Scovill Ave. line are not in agreement as to the number of runs taken off that line, recently—at the time of the re-routing of the line thru E. 2d St. One told The Rounder that no runs had been taken off. A second said three or four had been taken off, while a Sunday night, that about "two had been taken off." The Central Ave. line has been made a 16% or 17 minute line, instead of 18 minute, they say. That is, if you miss a Central car now you have to wait at least 17 minutes to get another. This makes it BAD. Both the Central and Scovill lines run through the third and fourth represented in Council by "The Blossom Triplets." Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy. It seems The Rounder was misinformed when told that one has to wait 18 minutes for a Central Ave. car as a result of the laying off of four or five crews (cars). Our latest informant, an employee of the Central Ave. line, told us that the wait was only $16 \frac{1}{2} or 17 minutes. "Only" is amusing as well as irritating. Some more irritation: Current rumor has it that some of our people have been refused service at the lunch-counter in the Kroger chain grocery store at 307 Prospect Ave. The Rounder is investigating, because if the Kroger Co. doesn't want our money down from us we ought not to "saps" enough to spend it with them in the East End, even if one of their stores has a member of the race as manager. The Rounder saw the following in one of our local daily papers, last week: "As soon as a vacancy occurs Dr. L. L. Rodgers, Democratic leader in the twelfth ward, will be given back his job as district health physician, it was learned today at city hall. Dr. Rodgers was suspended by the civil service commission pending outcome of charges that the Twelfth Ward protection club was solely responsible for protection money from vice resorts in the district under the guise of membership fees. He later was cleared." Mayor Ray Miller took credit for "firing" Rodgers, several months ago. Nothing was said about the Civil Service Commission doing that job at that time. Rodgers, an officer will recall, of course, "overattended to expose the rotten political conditions existing in Ward 12."

Regardless of the fact that former City Manager Wm. R.

What we can't understand is how Councilman Clayborne George could oppose the Hopkins effort. Surely our people have nothing to thank for the baseball Co. because of its steadfastness to employ any of our baseball players. They had a Jewish member on their team for a season or two. What was it then that caused "The Blossom Triplet" (George) to oppose the Hopkins effort and side with the color-line Cleveland Baseball Co.? The Rounder would certainly like to know.

More anon. --- Some of our other many national organizations ought to emulate the example set by our National Association of Musicians and the Odd Fellows B. M. C. which will not hold annual meets, this year, because of the economic depression. This is the sensible thing to do. --- That was a remarkable demonstration of the right kind of courage, Dean Dwight O. Holmes of the College of Education of Howard University gave in addressing the Education Conference at Teachers' College, Columbia University, recently, when he very properly argued against the segregation of our children in schools on the basis of race or color. What he so well said can be found elsewhere in this paper. The efforts of our people to wipe out color-lines in state and local public institutions of all kinds in Ohio is to be encouraged. Splendid progress has been made in recent weeks by several of our state and local organizations. Segregation of one kind and another in this state and throut the North in public institutions, both state and local, which had its inception most largely under the Democratic administration of Thomas Woodrow Wilson, has been steadily on the increase ever since. It was one of the most baneful results, as far as our people are concerned, of the election of a Democratic president. BEACH SEGREGATION Last week in Chicago and several cities in the East, segregation of our people on beaches was knocked out pronto. What's the matter with our three Cleveland councilmen that they permit local segregation not only on the beaches but in the swimming pools of the city from many of which our people are barred entirely? Is there anything that will awaken "The Blossom Triplets," Councilmen George, Payne and Bundy, to a proper sense of their duty to their constituents of color and the rest of our people in this city? Lord, have mercy! The local N. A. A. C. P. branch and our leading men and women should get after them immediately. We need action, and not political bally-hoo! STILL FLIRTS WITH DEMOCRATS Dispatches to the daily news papers of the country, Aug. 6, '32 announced that Roy W. Howard of the Scripps-Howard newspapers was a breakfast guest of President Hoover that day. These papers pose as being independent in politics, but as a matter of fact, they are Democratic. It was the Scripps-Howard newspapers that first brot out Herbert Hoover as a candidate for the Presidency, four years ago—long before any of the leading Republican newspapers of the country became active in the interest of any candidate. So there may be much significance in the fact that Mr. Howard breakfasted with the President last Saturday morning. MORE FLEMING COURT ACTION We may be wrong, but we think it is a mistake for former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming to attempt to gain his freedom thru the medium of the courts, fighting the great state of Ohio. He almost impoverished himself, carrying on what proved to be fruitless action in various courts prior to his incarceration. This delayed the start of his sentence and made it impossible for him to serve the required year before pardon or parole can be granted by Gov. Myers Y. Cooper before he left office, early last year. But for this fact, his friends could have secured some action from the Governor just prior to his leaving office in January last. His sentence was two years and nine months to ten years. Pardon or parole can be asked only after one year's service of sentence. The new law, passed by the last General Assembly, in our judgment does not make any change in the status of Fleming's sentence that justifies the petition for a writ of habea corpus filed at Columbus, Monday, alleging "illegal detention." As far as we are able to see the only outcome of the latest Fleming court action will be to so prejudice the Governor and the state board of pardons as to make it impossible to secure a pardon or parole for Fleming in the next few years, to say the least, unless a Republican governor is elected, this fall, to succeed Gov. Geo. White (Dem.) in January next. Prime Sport News "Chocolate" Drops Farr Thrice. Cincinnati, O. — "Kid Chocolate," junior lightweight champion, was awarded the decision in a ten-round non-title bout with Johnny Farr, Cleveland, at the Parkway Arena, Wednesday night. The Afro-Cuban weighed 126½ l; Farr, 131. The champ sent the Italian to the floor for the chin in the tenth round. Farr also was knocked down twice for the count of three in the first round. The "Keed" did not seem to exert himself to take every round, although Farr up a game and furious fight. The Clevelander's ability to take lots of punishment and come for more brought him applause several times. Over 4,000 saw the contest. "Gorilla" Kayos December Jack December (white) stepped into the Public Hall ring, Tuesday night, against real class and went "out" in exactly two rounds. Just fooling with the overgrown welter in the first round was "Gorilla" Jones of Akron, real middleweight champion of the world, but he finished it quickly in the second. A high right to the head, followed by a left jab, shot December to the canvas for eight. One of Jones' copyrighted smashes, a right under the heart, felled Jack for nine. He came up, however, and staggered right into a left hook to the body and it was all over. The bell sounded just as Referee Freddie Block waved December to "Gorilla" has begun training for his return engagement with Marcel Thiel of Paris, France, who was given his world championship title in that city, several months ago, on an alleged foul. "Chocolate" Wins. As Usual. Chicago, Ill. — "Kid Chocolate," the Afro-Cuban from Havana, defeated Eddie Shea (white), Italian challenger, in a ten-round battle, last week Thursday night. The verdict of two judges and Referee Phil Collins was unanimous. Chocolate outboxed the rip-tearing Shea in eight of the rounds. In the third round he dropped Shea to the floor with a left hook to the body. Shea took a count of eight before struggling to his feet. The "Keed" won the junior lightweight title, some time ago, but no belt was his until Gen. John Inman in the ninth stadium, last week Thursday night, after he had belted Eddie Shea all about the ring in defense of the title. The battle was attended by 5,500 spectators, paying $12,400. Chocolate scaled 127½, and Shea 128. Sammy Slaughter, "Afro" middleweight of Terre Haute, Ind., knocked out Paul Pirrone (white) of Cleveland in the fifth round of the the latter's third round. The clutter hard-punching protege of Bud Taylor dropped Pirrone with a right to the chin. Slaughter weighed 160½ to 155½ for Pirrone. ATTACKS SEGREGATION! Declaring Separate Schools a Vicious Practice Dean Holmes Score, Big New York City.—Decrying separate school systems for Afro-Americans in a democracy committed to the principle of equality, Dean Dwight O. Holmes of the College of Education of Howard University, Washington, D. C., addressing the Education Conference at Teachers College, Columbia University, asked educators to realize the pernicious results of such segregation and to separate our children from others only when some grave emergency arises. "Afro-Americans object, and object justly, to segregation for three reasons," Dean Holmes said. "First, segregation always implies inequality of status and that one group is dangerous to the other; second, segregation always means inferior accommodations for those segregated, and third, segregation prevents the races from knowing each other through the usual means of communication. Those states of the Union in which, at the present time, the dominant social opinion considers the physical separation of the races necessary are the very ones that are the proper, the least able to benefit the luxury of the dual school system. Hence the Afro-American, being the weaker group, is very naturally, but very decidedly, discriminated against in the provision of educational facilities." Dean Holmes is on sabbatical leave and is studying at Columbia, this year. Dr. Jackson Davis, assistant director of the General Education Board, addressed the conference, July 27th. He stated that the depression had checked in and increase in the number of college students. Mr. Holmes said that the number of young folk in colleges rose from 2,000 in 1916 to 24,645 for the 1929-30 session, and fell during the last session to 20,000.

Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted 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. The Ohio law follows: MOBS. 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," in violation of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such inquiry as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a wellhood 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 the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault 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 from the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages 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, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or dependent, 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 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 such a mob. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6284. Action for the recapture 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 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike for the purpose of restoring color or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and any person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. AN OPPORTUNITY!

The murderous drinker of hashish came to be called hashbash in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assasin!

Just how many "Negro" Democrats are in the third and fourth councilmanic districts is best indicated by the vote cast for C. L. Cace, Mrs. L. L. Rogers, Rev. J. W. Ribbins and Walter Brown, candidates for the Council, last year, and not the alleged vote they claim was cast by Afro-American voters for other candidates on the DNC. That fact has allowed less entered into the appointment (an outrage) of Ferd Jirsa as superintendent of the Portland-Outwashte recreational center which opened its outdoor activities, Monday. What would have happened if Mayor Miller's park director, Marta, had appointed a "Negro" Democrat or one of some other race or group, or even that resident in the city, superintendent of a center, bathhouse, or anything else, in the Italian, Polish, Irish or any other neighborhood in this community, except ours? The Jirsa appointment settles it? Local Democrats will not "get round-shouldered," this fall, carrying their "Negro" vote. The appointment of eight members of the race as life-guards and attendants, as well as the Portland-Outwashte center doesn't and won't mean a thing, but the sight of Supt. Ferd Jirsa at the center will. "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 its weight in gold! a man who is true manhood—a man who sees justice 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 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. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEN 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, and 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 self-objective and have '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. Subscribe Now THE GLORY OF WOMAN LIES IN HER HAIR.. LONG,SOFT AND FLUFFY WITH SILKEN SHEEN.

Hardly a day passes, however, with- out gold creeping into the headlines. One day a great nation drops the gold standard, On another day anoth- er nation adds steadily to its stock of gold; on another a new mine Is Giscovered somewhere; on another, unusually large shipments of gold cross the Atlantic, the Pacific or the Indian ocean, Despite a universal interest in the gold, the average man probably has hazy ideas of the actual amounts of gold involved in world stocks, annual production, and the incessant ship- ments back and forth between coun tries. ‘To a considerable extent this 1s owing to the extremely small unit —the “fine ounce”—by which the weight of gold is measured. It will help visualize the amounts ef gold that figure in the world’s news, if we construct in imagination ‘@ “super dollar” of gold worth one hundred million dollars. This super @ollar will be a disk one foot thick and just a tiny fraction less than 18% feet in diameter. It will thus retain, roughly, the shape and proportion of the ordinary gold. dollar, will contain a trifle more than 27534 cuble feet of gold, and will weigh a little less than 166 tons, Gold production statisties are not available for the period covered by the history of civilization, nor even for the Christian era. But we do have fairly accurate estimates of the total amount of gold mined in all parts of the earth since the discovery of America by Columbus. Let us im- agine all this gold brought together today at one spot and minted into our super dollars. With the ald of a huge crane we can have these huge yellow “chips” piled one on top of another to see how high the world's “stack” will reach. When 224 have been put in place the supply of full “dollars” will have been exhausted. ‘To bring the pile up to date, we will have to hoist to the top as a cap- stone, a half of one of our disks, shaped like half a ple, and worth only $50,000,000. World’s Gold in a Column. Here, then, in a sparkling column 18% feet in diameter and more than 224 feet high, would rest all the gold that has been gleaned by myriads of ‘men in 440 years of toll. The column would be about as high as a 20 story office building, and would be worth approximately $22,450,000,000. During the past fire years, a “super dollar” ‘has been added to this world pile ap- proximately every three months— about $400,000,000 worth of gold each year. But as soon as we have bullt up ‘our imaginary stack, we must begin pulling it down if we would represent the current gold situation, For al- though almost twenty-two and a half billion dollars worth of gold has been produced from 1492 to 1992, this is not the amount “in sight” in the world today. Nearly half the precious metal represented by our imaginary stack has been lost, hidden away, or used up in industry, the making of Jewelry, the gilding of ornaments, and the like. The total known stock of gold money and gold bars in the world at the end of 1981 was worth approximately eleven and a half bil- Mon dollars. We must therefore dis- card something like the upper halt of our imaginary stack of gold, leaving only 115 of the huge disks in place. ‘This 115 foot tower of precious metal, that we have built in fancy, repre- sents the monetary gold of the world. ‘On it are based all monetary systems im s0 far as they depend on gold. ‘But again we must alter our im aginary golden tower, At no time, of course, has all the world’s monetary gold been assembled in one country. ‘The greatest concentration within the borders of one nation occurred in September, 1981, when the amount of gold coin and ‘gold cast in bars in the United States slightly exceeded five billion dollars tn value. In the United States, then, there could have been bullt Inst autumn the greatest tower of gold that It has ever been possible to construct of the holdings ‘Of a single nation—a stack of 50 of our gigantic hundred-million-dollar “chips.” At the same time France could have piled up 25 of the great disks. From France's sizable 25 foot ey!- inder of gold, the national “towers” of precious metal fell to very modest piles. Great Britain, in September, 1981, could have built a stack little more than six feet high: she could muster gold enough for only a little more than six of the super dollars: Spain and Japan, a little more than four; Belgium, three and a half; Ger. mans, Switzerland, and the Soviet Union, three; Italy, the Netherlands, and Argentina, less than three; Tn dia less than two; and Canada, less than one. A striking fact in regard to the, gold holdings of countries ts that South Africa, which in the last few centuries has produced an amount of gold equal to the unprecedented pile possessed by the United States last autumn, held at that time less than enough monetary gold to con stfuct one half of one of the hundred niftion dollar disks, Gold Supply Changes. To get a vivid idea of the changes in the gold supply of the United States, let us imagine all the gold movements of 2921, and half of 1922, affecting the United States to be con centrated around this country’s “oll tower.” At the beginning of 1931 forty-five full super dollars woult have been piled one on the other. while on top. would have been. the forty-sixth golden disk with only © tiny wedge missing. Gradually, net gold importations would have ‘built the pile higher. Tefore the middle of January the forty-sixth disk would have been complete; by the end of March there would have been 47; by late June, 49 and by mid-September. the tower's peak would have been reached, with 50 of the super dollars in place. After the middie of September, one of the heaviest gold exportation ‘peri ods over experienced in the United States set in, An observer at the mythical tower of gold would have witnessed feverish activity in remov ing the huge disks. In a little over a month he would have seen more than seven of the mammoth gold units low- ered from the tower and carted away for shipment overseas. By the end of October only 42% of the super dollars would have remained. ‘Then gold would have begun to arrive again ‘at the tower's base, from imports, and the work of building would have been resumed. By the end of 1981, more than 1 18 of the heavy disks’ would have been added to the tower, bring ing it to a height of a little over 44 feet. ‘AS a final operation of the year we can imagine there being hoisted into place a segment equal to about a third of a super dollar—worth $33,- 000,000—representing the gold pro duced within the borders of the Unit ed States during the year, less the new gold made into Jewelry and used in other industries and arts. ‘The country's tower, then, after its marked fluctuations, would have contained at the end of the year, 44% of our super dollars—roughly one and a quarter less than when the year started. ‘Our Holding Varies. Since the beginning of 1932, five and a half more of the “super dol- lars" have left the United States. During the latter part of June the United, States’ gold stock had been reduced to 39 of the 100 million dollar units, At the same time Great Britain possessed less than five, and France's pile had grown to 31. During the past 18 years the col umn that could have been built with the stock of gold in the United States at any one time, has arisen and fall- en like the mercury column of a barometer. But in the long run it has grown higher. At the outbreak of the World war in 1914 it would have contained approximately 15 of the 100,000,000 dollar disks; at the close of the war, 29. In 1920 it would have been down to 27; in 1924, up to 43, Back to 40 in 1928, it would have sprung up to 45 in 1930 and to 50 in 1981, ‘The level at which it now rests is well below the peak of 50, but it is much higher than at any time in the country's history, except during the last eight sears. Johannesburg, South Africa, is, called “The City of Gold” because it is situated in the great South Afri- can gold producing region; was born of the greatest gold discovery known to the modern world, and rose to the stature of a city In the space of a few years, practically “on the dig- gins.” It is almost on the crest of “The Rand,” the 60 mile ridge of gold-bearing conglomerate from which the world's greatest stream of old has flowed since 1903 when produc- tion passed that of all North Amer tea.

His Five-Hour-Long ‘Swan Song’ —Got a Dose of His Own Po- litical Medicine “Down Home™ in Alabam— Shouse’s Demo- cratic Appeal. iesietaasans ne coaeitaiey In his more than five hours’ speech to the members of the United States Senate, some months ago, former Senator “Tom-Tom" Heflin of Alabama, said, “voters were ine timidated, ballots stolen and every ie legal method” was used to defraud him of his re-election in Alabama. ‘This is no new charge against the political machine that has been run- ning Alabama for many years. By this same machine, Heflin rode into office with glee but uttered not « word against it, In making his plea, he appealed almost wholly to the Re- publican side of the Senate. Against this side of the Senate, Heflin had used his machine in past years with brazen effrontery and braggadocio. The people, whose votes had been stolen, liberties denied, rights disre- garded and elective franchise de- stroyed, were Negroes. Heflin used to grow indignant, and reply with heat and fire when’ Alabama was ac- cused of “intimidating Negroes.” But es aaa | as wae ee gen TAU = Joog Jame at. ~ ol i ; : L he became independent of the Alaba- ma Democratic machine and did what he could to defeat Alabama's choice for President in 1928. For this, he was driven out, is name prevented from being on the regular Democra- tle ticket and he himself anathama- Uzed. He turned to Republicans to save his political skin. For five long hours, he pled to be seated in place of Senator Bankhead who had. pro- fited by the machine as did Heflin formerly. ‘This same ‘Tellin cruel- fied the Republican party in. Alaba- ma, rode rough-shod over Negroes and on the floor of the U. S. Senate berated them whenever lie saw’ ft. Hellin also robbed the Republican party of its right to elect a Republi- ean Senator and by the nefarious method of COUNTING saw to it that ho Repablican could be elected even though the whole state voted for him. This Is the man that turned to the party he helped to destroy in Alaba- Ina-and asked it to ald him to get back into the U.S. Senate to con- tinue Ils former doings. “Chickens came home to roost’” in his ease, We gree with Heflin that Senator Bank- head has no right to @ seat, for he not only, according to Heflin, is there hecause of IMegal practices against Heflin but he is also there because he denied citizens of this nation the Fight to east thelr vote. and” have them counted as cast. ‘These were largely Alabama Negroes. Democratic Appeal to Our Voters. Mr. Jouett Shouse, national chair- man of the executive committee of the Democratic party at the time met a group of our voters and made a stirring plea to them to divide thelr Votes. He desired some of these voters for the Democratic party. Mr. Shouse should be consclence-smitten, it he has any in politics, when he thinks of what the Democratle party ‘has done and is now doing to make ‘the lives of Negroes miserable in the South. The Democratie party in reality is the South. It's policies, to- wards any matter or principle, are the policies of the Democratic party everywhere, Negroes in Texas have foolishly been fighting to get an op- portunity to vote in Democratic pri- maries. The South tells the world It does not want the Nogro as a voter or as a participator in the govern ment of the South, or the Nation. Mr. Shouse is elther kidding in order to get votes of our people in north- ern and eastern states, or else he looks upon them as dumb animals who lick the hands of masters that kick them around. Until the Demo- cratic South loses’ its ascendency tn the Democratte party, until the South agrees to respect the laws of the Constitution respecting the franchise and civil rights of EVERY American citizen, until the South scraps its policy of Negro oppression, the en- tire Democratic party need mot ex- pect real Negro men and women to Yote for it or with it. A vote for the Democratic. party in the North tn federal elections 1s strengthening the hands of the Democratic south that continues to persecute our people. Ne- groes have often been deceived into voting for well-meaning individuals of the Democratic party but they Should remember that it ts not. the individual that shapes the policies of that party or of this nation, but po- litical parties. Outstanding individ- uals are an asset to any party for the easy putting over of its program, but every head must listen to the needs. and wants of the body which ts the PARTY.
