The subject: "Resolved that the church should accept card-playing and dancing."—Mr. Haywood of the community center invites all to visit it and take part in its various activities.—All who have not done so should register, so as to be able to vote in November. Go to the board of elections at once. COLUMBUS.—In compliance, with a resolution adopted at the last session of the State Assembly, Gov. Geo. White has appointed a committee "to consider the subjects of tax and mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures, particularly with reference to homes, farms and small business properties," the members of which are O.

WILBERFORCE. — One of the things that distresses President R. R. Wright most is that many of the University teachers have not been paid in full for their past year's service. He says: "I am urging the public and particularly the church to be liberal in their contributions to Wilberforce in order that this fine set of young men be allowed to attend that their families may not be deprived of results of their labor. I shall insist that the teachers be paid first. That I may better know what it is to go without pay. I have made up my mind to receive no salary during any month in which we are not able to pay all our teachers their full salary. I hope," he continued, "to build up an efficient loyal, consecrated faculty of men and women with enthusiasm for Christian education, and to attend Wilberforce some of the best brains in the United States. I know this cannot be done unless the teachers are paid and paid promptly. That will be fundamental." ANOTHER BODY FOUND In the Ohio River — The Murray Trials Expensive to the County —The Battle Still On. Ironton, O. —The body of another member of the race, age about 37 and about 5½ feet tall, was found in the Ohio river a short distance from here. The six defendants, accused of taking Luke Murray from the South Point jail (near here) on June 7 and murdering him, and acquitted by a jury here, are on trial for breaking into the jail, etc. The county agencies are concerned because of the money which the trials are costing. A statement of the expense to the county, published in the Ironton Tribune, includes $450 for Atty. A. J. Layne, who defended five of the lynchers. In one case, a lawyer for the prosecution, the fee was paid by outside agencies, and one for the defense was paid by the family of the victim. In addition to this $450, the county had to pay jurors $312 and $169 to witnesses. This totals $931. This does not include the expense of the prosecutor's investigation, the sheriff's expense in bringing in some of the witnesses, serving others with papers and the wear and tear on automobiles, the cost of gas and oil, and $50 for the burial and exhumation of the murdered man. "GOD GIVE US MEN." It is roughly estimated that the peoples of color in the world's population number about 1,200,000,000 while the whites are credited with PEQ 101 being about 500,000,000 strong. A relatively small handful of white exploiters rob, rule, dominate and control not only the peoples of color, but also the majority of whites who are workers. Frank R. Crosswaithe. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Chas. Isaacs of Mississippi, a member of the Hoover notification committee, did not attend its dinner at the White House, recently. Mrs. Emma B. Kennedy of N. Y.

My dear Mr. Smith:—Just a line to congratulate you on the fiftieth anniversary of editing and publishing The Cleveland Gazette I am, also, commenting upon your feat, in my strictly personal column, in the Chicago Bee, in its issue of Aug. 21, '32. With best wishes always, I am Very sincerely yours. Clifford C. Mitchell. Madison, N. J., Aug. 15, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Kind Sir:—This is acknowledgement of your 50th birthday present (in advance) from "The Old Re- Charles E. A. Hunt. liable"—a copy of current "Liberty" for which I thank you. Had much to say, but will not impose upon your time and good humor. Hope this will find you, as it leaves me—healthy, hopeful and happy in the Lord. I wish The Gazette peace, prosperity and success for many years to come, without change in ownership or present manager. Excuse brevity and enclosed report, instead of extended remarks, and oblige Yours truly, (Rev.) Geo. Wilson Brent. Cleveland, O., Aug. 18, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor. Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—I am hereby congratulating you with my whole heart on your most wonderful consummation of the herculean task of editing M. B. and publishing a reputable newspaper, during half a century! Seventy-five of the 87 years of my life have been spent in this, my present home, and during all these years I have never known any man or woman of any race or class to accomplish such an undertaking, and this, too, during some of the most eventful and trying times of commercial and financial affairs that this great country has ever known. Wonderful newspapers have been born, reached remarkable circulation, and, with their talented editors, pressed away, but both you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette have remained, and, miracle dictu, are still on the firing line. It is God's doing. He has preserved and protected you both to struggle and "cry aloud" for the rights of our poor hopefully struggling class. Yours, John P. Green Cincinnati, O., Aug. 15, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear friend Harry: Enclosed please find money order for $2.00 to the following person: SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WINS FROM TWO OF THE WORLD'S LEADING DASHMEN, BROCKMEYER AND SALVIATI. Sixty Thousand People Cheer Themselves Hoarse as a Result of the High-School Lad's Great Feat. Our athletes just about stole the show, Sunday afternoon, in the Cleveland stadium, which was put on principally by outstanding U. S. and foreign participants in the recent Olympiad at Los Angeles. Jesse Owens, the one-man track team from E. Tech High school, this city, who had been flirting with world records here at home and elsewhere in the state for the last year or two, was the star of the day, giving the vast audience of 60,000 persons the greatest thrill of the afternoon. When the lad flashed across the finish line, there was hardly a person in the stadium who was seated. All were on their feet shouting forth the most vociferous tribute ever bestowed upon an athlete here. The roar of the crowd at Owens' feat was like that which comes from football fans when a player breaks thru the net. He was the star of the day, except that the necclaim which greeted Owens lasted longer. He smiled, received the congratulations of other contestants and trotted away. Local daily newspapers agreed that he "stole the fine show" notwithstanding the exceptional showings of several other U. S. and foreign athletes. In the 100-yard event the 19-year-old high school champion, who won three schoolatic championships, faced two schoolatic championships, of Italy, glazing around the stadium track in 9.65 to triumph by three yards, going away. This would have been great enough on a straight-away, but was truly remarkable considering that Jesse ran on a curved course. In the trial heat, he had romped to victory in 9.8, and after a half hour's rest came back to win. Once he left the post, the issue was never in doubt. His feet seemed scarcely to touch the cinders, and his graceful stride was so beautiful as to cause gausps of amazement from the great crowd into a slender lead in the first 50 yards, after which he apparently made up his mind to "rub it in," increasing his speed and opening wide a gap of three yards between himself and the rushing runner-up, Brockmeyer. Both Brockmeyer and Salviati said afterwards that Owens' feat was almost unbelievable for a high school boy. Thru an interpreter the former asked Jesse to send him a picture of himself, but was second in the broad-jump to Edw. Gordon, our winner of the Olympiad championship for the U. S. and ran in the half mile relay. Our other winners, Sunday afternoon, were: Phil Edwards of Toronto, a Canadian by birth, who negotiated the mile-run in 4m 32.55. Edwards is the former ace spinner of New York university who married a very pretty German girl of good family just before his graduation, a little over a year ago and went to Toronto, where he played the golf game, who won the 440-yard low hurdles in 53.1s. Edw. Gordon, the broad jump; and a young man by the name of Ward. Distance (broad jump) 23ft. 9¾ in. Beatty was also a member of the U. S. team of four which won the 800-yard relay in 1m 30s. Had Jesse Owlsen been able to participate in the Olympiad, what a quartette of sprinters he, Tolan, Metcalfe and Johnson would have made. The local chain-grocery store that broths and dips was here for Sunday afternoon's free show at the stadium, also presented medals to the winners of each event. Olympiad Prejudice. That the Tolan and Metcalfe victories in the 100-meter race and Tolan's victory also in the 200-meter race in the recent Olympic contests at Los Angeles peeved some of the managers was shown in their mistreatment of our two girl-sprinters. Reliable" Gazette. There is no chance for me to forget when my subscriptions is due as that is my anniversary and I always pay for The Union and The Gazette at the same time and on my anniversary. That makes it easy to remember. I have followed this plan in the last few years and I want it is a gift. I want to magnificate you on the 50th anniversary of "The Old Reliable," hoping you will live many more years to publish it. As I have often said, the race will never realize your worth until you have passed to the great beyond. But I believe in giving flowers while one is alive and can appreciate them. And I consider you one of our greatest friends. I close with kindest regards from Your old friend, Charlie Hunt. THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one WPA BIBL published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. THE COPY FIVE CENTS HOW" PAPERS AGREE THE WORLD'S LEADING MEYER AND SALVIATI. Cheer Themselves Hoarse as School Lad's Great Feat. Miss Louise Stokes of Malden, Mass. and Miss Tidy Picket of Chicago, and also James Johnson of Illinois State Normal school, all of whom were unfairly shunted out of races. The first two were unfairly kept out of the 400-meter girls' relay race and Johnson out of the 400-meter men's relay-team race. **Tolan and Metcalfe "Buddies."** Los Angeles.—Ralph Metcalfe and Eddie Tolan, the two Afro-Americans who won the Olympic sprint supremacy for this country, were great comrades at the games. During the trial heats they aided each other in digging starting stirs, and shouted engagement to each other. And when they opposed in the finals, they clapped hands after the conclusion of the race. In the case of the disputed 100-meter championship, neither was certain as to who was the winner, so it was a case of mutual felicitation. When the very big Mr. Metcalfe was engaged in running the first of the 200 meters to set a momentarily new Olympic trials record, the short and squat Mr. Tolan was beside him lending spiritual and physical assistance. And when Metcalfe got thru running, he was right over on the opposite side of the field lending the same spiritual and physical sustenance to the bespectacled Tolan. Not alone a message of reassurance, but of help in digging out the starting holes. Never there was a second of comparison among these two boys displayed. Last week Thursday evening, at Soldiers' Field in Chicago, an Afro-American 440-yard relay team, composed of John Brooks, Eugene Beatty, Eddie Tolan and Ralph Metcalfe, easily defeated an Italian team in 42 seconds flat. They led by about nine yards at the finish. The daily papers of the country, in referring to this victory, for an obvious reason, were careful to refer to our boys as "Americans." Did you notice it? They rarely ever do this. Metcalfe On All-American Track- Team. Los Angeles, Calif.—Without a dissenting vote, Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette University was chosen, in the 100 and 200-yard dashes, for the All-American track and field team. This is the first time that one of our sprinters has been named for both positions. Metcalfe was the only athlete picked by unanimous choice. Eddie Tolan was not eligible because he was out of school. In exhibition races, at the international police field meet in Detroit, Saturday, Metcalfe ran 100 meters in 10.4 seconds, and in the 200-meter event equaled Eddie Tolan's Olympic time of 21.2. Eddie is under contract and could not run in these races. The Famous Joe Walcott Passes. New York City—Joe Walcott, holder of the world's welterweight championship 30 years ago, died in Bellevue Hospital, Sunday night. Veteran boxing experts rate Walcott as the greatest fighter of his weight the ring ever knew. Only a "heavy" lightweight, Walcott earned his sobriquet, "Giant Killer," by the easy manner in which he topped light heavyweights and heavyweights. One of his greatest fights was with Joe Choynski, who a short time before, had given Jim Corbett a terrific 28- round victory. Choynski outweighed Walcott, 173 pounds to 143, with a 5 to 1 favorite in the betting. But the "Barbados demon" floored Choynski several times in the first round and gave him such a terrific beating that the referee was forced to stop the fight in the seventh round. ABBOTT ANSWERS WIFF. Says He Does Not Own "The Chicago Defender"—The Paper Lost $40,000, Last Year, Etc. Chicago, Ill.—In answering his wife's petition for a divorce, etc., Robert S. Abbott, reputed owner of "The Chicago Defender", declares that the Robert S. Abbott Pub. Co. has been and is operating the paper at a considerable loss; that the loss last year amounted to approximately $40,000, and that the loss of business year will be considerably more. He asks that he possesses the wealth attributed to him, or anything like it" that the R. S. A. Pub. Co. is a corporation, the stock of which is held by trustees under a trust created by him for the benefit of his wife, himself and others; that at present he has little or no income and that for the past two years he has not drawn any salary from the company. --- Don’t Throw Away Your Copy of The GAZETTE A fter Reading It But Give it to a Friend or an Acquaintance who might Subscribe after Reading It London From a BusTop Re Ee aa Ss ie = — ~— a ‘(Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D.

The bridge will be replaced by a new span. Many travelers now are seeing Lon- don from a bus top, where they enjoy watching perky messenger boys with their tincan hats cocked on three hairs, the huge policemen, the sand wich men, and the clattering crowds ‘of men and women on the streets. In a private car the least snobbish feels himself aloof and superior. On a personally conducted tour one {s only the pea tossed in the dishpan of a careless conductor’s rhetoric. In a taxieab even the very reckless ean- not refrain from watching the meter. But from a bus top one looks down, part and parcel of all he sees, under- standing and being thrilled by a thow- sand activities. It is true that one sees the cen turies without order or sequence; but that 18 as ft should be in London, where today, tomorow, and 1,800 years elbow each other companion ably. Perhaps one leans over the rail tc see a lordiing sprawled at the whee! of a great car, all color and silver, ob that Watling street which was one of the four thoroughfares by the aid ef which the Romans held Britain; or to watch those who are to fly to Paris, stepping into the car that is to carry them to the flying field at Croydon, Next, the bus passes a porter's lodge in which a duchess lives at the gates of the great house she can no longer afford to occupy. Or the brass triangle near the Marble arch, which marks the site of Tyburn tree, a com- mon gallows away back in 1196. Or that street of pallid houses built by a French architect that Napoleon's of. ficers might have fitting quarters when he had conquered England. Or the horse guards, where massive sen- tinels in scarlet and buckskin and sil- ver bestride horses of black silk. One marvels at the horses more than at the men. However do they train them to stand so still? Reminders of the Past. Yonder is Lansdowne passage, lead: ing from Plecadilly into Curzon street. ‘The street is the citadel of the high- est fashion, lined with gloomy houses. A steel bar is still set across the passage, that no highwayman may gal- lop his horse through it to safety in the fields, as one formed the repre hensible habit of doing a hundred years ago. Nearby is the Shepherd's market which is in its essentials what a shop. ping district was in London in Dick ‘Turpin's time, and a little public house whose customers are almost wholly the Jeames Yellowplushes of today. wealth of gossip about their masters might be gathered there by one ad mitted to their intimacy. Of Whitehall one may see the win: dow through which a king walked on his way to the block. Over the rail of Hyde park one may glimpse the lit: tle gravestones of the dogs’ cemetery ; then hurriedly glance at the new Devon- shize house, wherein apartments may be leased for 909 years at an incredible number of pounds the year. ‘rafalgar square is the natural center of London for the adventurer. It is true that Charing Cross, a long stone's throw down the Strand, is ac- cepted as the geographical center, if there can be a geographical center of & map, which is messed about as is that of London by the oxbow-bend of the River Thames. ‘At any rate, the 699 square miles of the greater city include aM parishes any part of which may be within 12 miles of the cross, or of which the whole may be within 15 miles. Going From Nelson’s Column. But Nelson’s column, in Trafalgar square is the North pole to the visi tor’s compass. If he were able to ‘mount to Nelson's eminence. as stee- plejacks sometimes do, and there re ‘yolve upon his heel, he would discover that each quarter turn would reveal a new aspect. ‘ Down Whitehall is the ancient City of Westminster, with the houses of parliament and the abbey. The Strand ‘opens to Fleet street and the offices of the great newspapers. ‘Over Covent garden, a bit more to the left, one might sight the Bank of England and the heart of the old Ro- man city. Another turn left and the markets, the Charterhouse, the British museum. ‘Left once more and the theater dis: trict; Soho, where are the foreign res- taurants beloved of novelists, and the fashionable shopping districts. Just a bit more and clubland and Mayfair and a glance at Buckingham palace. ‘Then Hyde park and the Admiralty, and the circle is complete. All reached best by busses. ‘Trafalgar square is a place of peri ous delights. Eight streets debouch upon it, each filled with roaring tratlic coming’ from unexpected antes, and made more perilous to an American by. the ‘English insistence upon the left-hand turn, ‘One leaps from safety iskand to safe ty island across these streets, as if théy were stepping stones in a torrent —omnibuses, steam lorries, donisey carts, limousines, the small, barn swallowlike cars which taxation has thrust upon English motordom, brew ers’ vans drawn by elephantine horses, Sereaming motorcycles with the latest editions. ‘Once ‘Trafalzar square was the kins’ mews, where various monarchs stabled their horses, Honest artisans shaped Weapons for English gamecocks in Cockspur street. Fronting on the square is the national gallery. ¢rammed with treasures of art, Of all the 1,00-odd churehes in London, the visitor is apt to carry away the most vivid memory of St, Martin's.in- theFields. ‘The gray and white and black pillars of its majestic portico gain added value, of course, when seen across the open square. In a little house which once stood he¥e, Ben Johnson wrote “Drink to Me Only with Thine Byes,” which some people hold to be one of the finest dallads in-the English language, though deprecating the sentiment... Heine and Ben’ Franklin and Charles Dickens have roomed close by. The Mall and Buckingham Palace. From ‘Trafalgar, too, the visitor ear peer through the fine Admiralty arch down the Mall, at the farther end of Which stands’ Buckingham palace. Eventually he will discover this to be @ large and almost violently uzly stone-fronted building behind a tall wrought-iron fence, and that time is wasted on it except during those stir ring moments when the soldier guard is changed. He may recall that it was down the Mall that Charles I walked to the headman's block, and that it was named after the French game of paille maille that Charles II played upon it. ‘Across the square is the statue of Charles 1, perhaps the Gest equestri an figure in London. One bridges cen. turies of English history by a glance at it. Queen Eleanor's cross first stood upon this site, the twelfth—or was it the thirteenth?—cross erected by the sorrowing King Edward I to mark the places where her casket was set down for the night on the long route from Lincoln to her tomb in Westminster. That was in the Thir- teenth century. Much is to be seen hereabouts in the compass’ of a short walk before definitely embarking on a eruise through London's streets, A turn to the left leads to Maiden lane, where Voltaire and Turner once lived. One may pause at Rule’s oyster house for ‘a snack, not because of hunger, but because this has been the resort of English actors since 1750. Fielding and Pope and Goldsmith used to fre- quent it when it was “The Bedford Head” and the home of the Reunion club. A vast white-painted door, set with brass like the quarter-deck of a yacht, 2 populous bar behind which two lively maids are busy, a great fire under a marble mantelpiece. Lively Covent Garden. Just around the corner is Covent garden, once the convent garden of the abbey of Westminster. It has been the great market for fruits and vegetables ever since 1634. A lively, sad, industrious place, in which the coster's donkeys furnish the comle re lief. Under the great piazza, which was a century ago London's most fash. fonable walk, old women sit all sum mer long shelling peas. Something of ‘a comedown from the patches and ruf- fles, and the small swords and the snuff. It is to be feared the Covent garden opera has somewhat declined. At all events, when one visits the fine old house two jazz bands may be heard offering interminable tom-tomming for ‘a horde of dancers. Here is Bow street and its police station, where the “scarlet waistcoats ‘of the “Bow street runners” gave the world its idea of a uniformed police foree—or so Bow street sass. On the Russell street corner is Will's coffee house, where Dryden sat in Judgment on plays, and which is just as it used to be, above the street level. Charles Lamb lodged at No. 20 Russell street ‘and the National’ Sporting club, most aristocratic of boxing clubs, Is at $3 King street. At No. 4 York street De Quincey wrote his “Confessions.” Half the charm of London is in its history. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1932.

The pert little hat is made of the same durene material which 1s equally chie in “dirty white,” sand, Egyptian white or brown, With the first three black boots are good style.

One can really be ever so nautical to all appearance in these durene mesh pajamas and never leave the beach, They have their own anchor appliqued as you see matched in color to the buttons whieh fasten a veritable first officer's double breasted Jacket. ‘The new shorter trouser length here advocated makes It possible to stroll along the sand without stumbling, as a contrast to last year’s versions.

Yellowish reds appear in bathing suits and evening clothes, mostly. ‘The reds used for sports clothes and daytime dresses and sults fare usually darker, and less elemen- tary. Wine reds and brownish reds are beginning to appear In daytime lothes, and are listed at the top of forecasted colors for fall. Ted-with-color as a fashion scheme takes many new forms this year Along the Riviera there are many ex- amples of the type of color combining that Paris favors right now—two var ations of the’ same color used togeth- or as if they were two different colors. ‘Thus orangy red will serve as trim: ming, via a scarf, on a dress. of maroon; geranium red Is combined with scarlet; purplish and reddish reds are worn together. ‘There ts, of enurse, more red and white than'any other combination. Rainbow Eyelashes Are Latest Extravagance Artificial silk eyelashes of rainbow hue, marvelously uttached to the real lashes, are Paris’ latest fashion extray- agance. Blue, red and green lashes are “worn” with lids of silver or gold and the lips must be colored to mateh the gown, “Powder cocktails,” the shades com- bined to make a mixture appropriate to madame’s mood—green for Jeal- ousy, purple for passion—are another vogue. ‘AS to lipsticks, there is no end to the variety of colors In these. Pale yellow, to be used with a green face powder, is favored by one expert. Boucle and Lisles Suite of boucle and lacy lisles are much worn at the smart resorts espe- cially by older women who like the formality of a jacket suit. White suits are featured by the most important shops.

Te. 32, with the fsue of Aug. 20, 732 The Gazette entered upon its fittieth year of continuous publication, every week on time, ‘This paper made its first appearance, Aug. 25, 1883, with the writer at the helm as part-owner, editor and manazer. Many years ago, he purchased the Interests of the other three members of the com- pany and ever sinco the burden of and responsibility for the publica- tion of The Gazette have rested upon his shoulders. How successful we have heen is a matter of common knowledge the country over, and of personal pride on our part, for ‘The Gazette's ‘accomplishments were and are. vitally Important, many. and varied. ‘They recommend it, too, in the strongest possible manner, espe- cially to the loyal of the race wher- ever they may be. As _a direct re- sult of the efforts of The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious "Black Laws" of Ohio were wiped out, and an effective Civil Rights law, and Mob Violence act or Anti- Lynching law enacted by the Ohio General Assembly. ‘This paper, as all know, his never failed to do all in its power to help, defend and pro- tect our people, not only in Ohio but of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way. to wiser and better politieal and other action, and “turned back" the ‘“‘Jim- crow Nexto” who is a more treacher- ous and dangerous onponent of real rackil proxress than any other enemy of the race.

Personal and business in- terests have always been subordi- nated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's clarion call to Afro-Americans, generally, in sea- son and out, has been to accept noth- ing in the way of treatment that is Jess than all citizens, without refer- ence to class (race) or color, are en- titled to.

THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, thru all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recom- mendations for continued and great- er support, and we respectfully ask it.

Education a Fundamental—Most Distressed and Most Patient—Social Improyement—Walter Hamilton and the “Hoover Dam.” Indianapolis, Ind.—A discontented Afro-American, scuffing for his rights and development, was _pic- tured as the chief hope of the race's future in, this country by Atty, C. Francis ‘Stradford before delegates to the elzhth annual convention of ihe National Bar Association, held here, recently. Mr. Stradford, a for- mner’ president of the Association, Spoke on the subject, “Social Un- rest and the Law.” “our aim is to create in_ this country,”" ho stated, “a discontented, a dissatisfied AfrocAmerican, a dis: pleased man of color. Not’ a man Ulscontented and displeased in. the sense of beng merely a sorehead, jut. one intelligently opposed to wrong and willing (o fight incessant. Ty and to make. sacrifices, if) you please, to abolish every form. of pro- Scription, sexregation, discriminatio and injustice.” He held up as an example of this desirable type of citizens, a Nevada laborer, Walter’ Hamilton, | “Rew people have ever heard of Walter Hamilton, who ted the fight made by colored ‘eitizens of Las Ve- gas, Nev., to seeure employment for his people at Hoover Dam,” asserted Mr, Stradford. “He was ridiculed at frst even by members of his own group and referred to as an ax tator, fanatic, red or radical, but ‘through his’ intelligence, courage, ‘persistence and abiding faith in the ultimate triumph of justice, he final- ly won-his fight and the ‘unstinted praise and commendation of both the colored and white people of Las Vegas. Colored men are now work- ‘ing on the Hoover Dam.” In opening his address Mr. Strad- ford depicted social unrest in the United States and other sections of the world at the present time. He also pointed to the past and recalled the creation of laws in Greece and Rome and England in response to new social and economic phenomena. Frequent reference was made to labor laws, which came to meet the problems of the new industrial era. He described the fight of labor for a place in the sun as a kind of “in- telligent discontent” and presented jciation.

Mr. Stradford recommended con- tinued education as the source of in- telligent discontent, among both whites and blacks. “In this period of depression and unrest,” he explained, ‘The Afro- American, the most distressed of all, the hardest hit of all, has shown most patience and least discontent. This, however, is in strict keeping with the basi¢ laws of social psy- chology, because discontent increases with social improvement. Those who have most, want most, and those who have ‘least want least. I am convinced the Afro-American must become more restive. In order to make progress, he must show this Intelligent discontent. If, as some one has said, knowledge is the sur- est basis of happiness, it is that type of knowledge which breeds the most discontent with social wrongs and injustice. Indeed, that should be the fundamental aim of all educa- tion whether formal or adult and obviously the whites must be edu- cated along with the blacks. No other course will result in the de- ‘velopment of a sound and whole- ‘some public opinion upon which de- pends the Vigorous and impartial en- forcement of the law.” CHARACTER ' Charester; tke!» ana old eey oe es onl es Sonik Gun cies Gat forced as hothouse products are dread Ohasasiaciin\e sees oe ee et rion teas pone ORE forty-nine years The Gazette, under its present management, has been serving our people of Se one is oaks andes llaatale) ghee tart eee lasts naeeeiand responsiveness to buy are direct: measures of its present impor- tenes to oneey advertiser.
