WILBERFORCE.—The university will be formally opened, Monday. The past week has been given to freshmen activities. A large enrollment is anticipated because President R. R. Wright has been receiving applications, daily, since his arrival here. His only worry he says is that so many deserving young men in college women will be unable to finish their education, this year, because of the economic depression. He says he has a number of applications from high-school graduates, valedictorians and honor-students, who wish to further their education but must have help in order to do so. He urges a fund to help such students. The faculty will remain about as last week as it was, but bert H. Jones has been added to it, taking the chair of professor of philosophy. This is the one great surprise. SPRINGFIELD—John Adams of Bluefield, W. Va. college will locate here.—Elizabeth Jackson will attend Spellman college, Atlanta.—Mr. and Mrs. W.

Harry E. Davis, president of the City Civil Service Commission, who was maintenance man at the police garage, was "let out", recently. You'll have to give Senator George H. Beder credit for the following "mouthful." and meeting of the E. Cleveland Republican club, last week Thursday evening: "I'm glad (Senator Laurence H.) Norton corrected that statement," he said. "The Afro-American wards of Cleveland are making a real contribution to the welfare of the city. Dan Morgan would have been elected mayor if the rest of the city had been on the job as those wards were. The Senator might have added that nearly half of the total Republican vote given, at the last election, to Mr. Morgan, the Republican candidate for mayor, came from the Afro-American voters of this city. Councilman Larry Payne introduced in the Council, Monday evening, "as a matter of courtesy to Mrs. Bernice Pyke, welfare director," legislation as drafted for him by Assist. City Law Director Crowley permitting defamation water-consumption to sign poverty赋障, thus escape having their water permanently turned off. Payne is chairman of the welfare committee. The city has been turning off the water of about 100 families daily for some time. Since Councilman George has not introduced a resolution calling for an investigation into the Burns beach, a beach some weeks ago, The Rounder suggests that either Payne or Bundy do so. 4,000 HEAR POPE'S BLESSING. Beautiful Parade to Cathedral for Communities - The Participants, Etc. New York City. — Sunday week Pope Pius XI sent a cablegram bestowing his blessing at a special mass meeting attended by almost four thousand of our people here in St. Patrick's Cathedral. It featured the eighth annual convention of the Federated Afro-American Catholics which closed a three-day session, the first of last week. The mass was offered by Most Rev. John J. Dunn, auxiliary bishop and vicar-general of the archdiocese of New York. The bishop addressed the congregation at the conclusion of the mass, reading the cable message from the Pope, which was sent thru Cardinal Pacelli, secretary of state at Vatican City, Rome, Italy. The parade to the cathedral led the procession canonized men who were followed by Owen rock-coated ushers, Knights of St. John in full uniform, St. Benedict's Commandery and its ladies auxiliary, small children from local parishes, and members of various church societies, all properly attired. Almost 50 priests were in the chancel of the cathedral. There are no Afro-American priests in this archdiocese. A wonderful sight! A "Scottsboro Day" Set! New York City. — The International Labor Defense has announced that world-wide mass demonstrations in support of the defense of the seven Scottsboro (Ala.) boy-victims will be held, Oct. 8. Carl Hacker, acting national secretary, said the expected number of demonstrators' boys' case is scheduled for review by the U. S. Supreme Court, Oct. 10. HEAR OF WORK IN AFRICA'S MISSIONS Baptists Hear Howard University President's Address, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Pres. L. K. Williams and Others. About two year old delegates and visitors attended the 52d annual meet of The National Baptist Convention, presided over by Rev. L. K. Williams of Chicago, which met in Shiloh Baptist church from Wednesday thru Sunday, while Woman's Anxiliary convened simultaneously at Liberty Hill Baptist church. The high spots of the five-day confer- MARY E. NANNIE H. BORROUGHS. ence were the speeches of Dr. Williams and President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University, Washington, D. C. Many other interesting addresses were delivered by prominent male and female Baptist leaders, among them being Congressman Oscar De Priest. Dr. Williams advocated the unconditional support of the 18th amendment, of President Hoover and of an economy program. Mrs. S. W. Layton of Philadelphia, president of the Women's Auxiliary, and Secretary Nannie H. Burroughs, founder and president of our national training school at Washington, D. C., were the auxiliary's outstanding speakers. President Johnson Speaks. Citing the tremendous advances made in our education in the last half century, President Johnson, last week Friday night, held a capacity audience spellbound with his address before a crowded church of delegates and visitors. "I know of no better means of building up a great internal cohesion in the race than the study of the lives and thoughts of our great men of the past such as Frederick Douglass, John M. Langston, John R. Price and Booker T. Washington," he said. In reviewing the progress made in opportunities for education Dr. Johnson said, "The American people have manifested their faith in our children by their recognition of the distinguished attainments of educated Afro-Americans." Mr. David S. Ingalls made a short talk at this session and a return visit, the next morning, by request. Election of Officers Election of officers, another major event on Friday's program, was simplified by the re-election of almost the entire roster: Rev. L. K. Williams of Chicago, pres.; Rev. D. V. Jemison, Mobile, vice-pres-at-large; Rev. J. M. Nabrit, Atlanta, sec.; Rev. R. B. Roberts, Memphis, treas. All lesser officers were re-elected except the statistician and the attorney. Rev. Roland Smith of Tuscaloosa, Ala., is the new statistician. Wm. C. Haynes of Chicago, who filled out the unexpired term of his predecessor who died within the year, was elected attorney for a full term. Africa the Theme The needs of Africa and the results of Baptist missionary work there were the topics discussed at the joint mass meeting which was the outstanding event on Sunday's program. Songs in the Mandingo language were sung by Miss Anita Bolden of this city who spent more than five years in French West Africa. Miss Ruth Occomy of Providence, R. I., recently returned from Monrovia, Liberia, where she was a nurse in the mission hospital, reported on the work being done there. Our Suehn Mission" was the subject a talk by Miss Marle Reid of Detroit who has just spent four years in West Africa. At the final business session, the speakers at the press house came Cave B. Lewis of Chicago, and Rev. R. C. Barbour of Nashville, editor of the national organ of the Convention. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THE FORMER FOR HOOVER AND THE LATTER FOR ROOSEVELT. The Congressman Denounced the N. Y. Governor, Garner and Texas—The Editor Scored Hoover and the Republican Party. A prediction, that Afro-Americans in large numbers will cast a Democratic ballot at the national election in November, was made, Sunday afternoon, to St. James' forum by Atty. Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier. In the Coolidge and in the last Hoover campaigns, Vann was a member of what is now referred to as the nation's Kitchen. This combination of more or less prominent men of the race, all Republicans and a majority of whom reside in the nation's capital, is a self-constituted body that volunteers its assistance to the President in national campaigns largely for the purpose of getting in the lime-light and as close to the chief executive as possible, for personal reasons as a rule. Vann's subject was "Patriotism and Partisanism" in the support of the Democratic candidate. President and Vice-President, this year, is partially explained in what follows: "Afro-Americans everywhere have been aroused," he said. "They are determined. They are patriotic. They have changed their political philosophy. They are not waiting to be selected by any party. I see in the offspring of a horde of black men of men throwing off the black patriism praxis over the half a century, pushing down the idols of empty promises and moving out into the sunlight of independence. I see hordes and hordes of black men and women belonging to the army of forgotten men, turning their faces toward a new course and a new party. I see millions of our people turning the picture of Abraham Lincoln to the wall. This year I see them vowing a Democratic ticket. To my mind, the programs and policies of other parties, the only party which now has the power, successfully and completely, to make the necessary changes at Washington, D.C., is the Democratic party." Editor Vann, who is an interesting speaker, was introduced to the audience by Rev. D. O. Walker, pastor of the church, who also is supporting the Democratic candidates for President and Vice-President. The audience that filled the church grew very enthusiastic at times and was liberal in its applause of much that the speaker sald. Congressman Oscar De Priest of Chicago, who about six weeks or two months ago was down in the Carolinas advising our voters to divide their votes between the Democratic and Republican parties, seems to have taken a running-jump back into full party fellowship. Sunday afternoon he attended a Republican club, in addressing a mass meeting of our voters of that section of the city, he assailed the Democratic candidate for President, Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt's physical condition and scored the Democratic candidate for Vice-President, John N. Garner of Texas, speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives for New York. Roosevelt was the Democratic conspiracy to get a southerner (Garner) "into the White House thru the door." "If Roosevelt gets into the White House," De Priest continued, "it will be only a short time before Garner will be president. Little Jack is small in stature, small in ability and too insignificant in character to be president of the United States." He dwelt at length on race prejudice in Texas, Garner's home state, saying: "Something happened to me down there that never happened to me any place else. I was touring near Beaumont when we drove into a gasoline station. They refused to serve our car. They had a sign up: 'We sell only to white people.' I knew they were prejudiced fools, but didn't mind big bucks. We pass up dollars" sat in the U. S. Supreme Court when the decision was handed down saying that Texas Afro-Americans had the right to vote in Democratic primaries. If they will not let you vote where and as you wish, what won't they do to you when they get into office." De Priest charged also that Roosevelt, as assistant secretary of the navy, drew up the Haitian constitution "and ordered the marines there who had shot and killed more than 3,500 natives to force on the Haitians who insulted the constitution he had drawn up.

De Priest charged the Democrats with "political propaganda intended to embarrass the administration" in the introduction of bills for immediate payment of the soldiers' bonus. He also charged that when the local Democrats took over the city administration in February practically all of our voters lost M. B. Editor Robert L. Vann. their jobs to make way for white Democrats the congressman was followed by Elijah J. Scott of Topeka, Kan., Nannie H. Borroughs of Washington, D.C., and a number of Republican candidates, among them being George H. Bender, for congressman-at-large; Common Pleas Judge George B. Harris, seeking county prosecutor, and Col. Herbert J. Twelvewtree, seeking to become sheriff. Councilman Roy Bundy presided over the meeting. "INTELLECTUALS" BACK COMMUNIST CANDIDATES. Dreisser and Steffens Join Large Group of Authors, Writers, Etc. To Vote for Foster and Ford— What They Say. New York City—The nation's "intellectuals" are called upon to mobilize behind the Communist party in protest against the "chaos, the appalling waste and the indescribable misery inherent in the present economic system." A group of educators, writers, architects and artists, pledging their support to the Communist candidates, Wm. Z. Foster and his Afro-American friends, Ford, have issued a call for the formation of committees throughout the country to the same end. The group includes Lincoln Steffens, Winifred L. Chappell, executive secretary of the Methodist Federation of Social Service; Prof. Newton Arvin of Smith College; Sidney Howard, author; Prof. Frederick L. Schuman of the University of Chicago; Bruce Crawford, Norton (Va.) editor; Sherwood Anderson, John Doss Passos, Theodore Dreiser, novelists; Self-help author, Curie艺术 and Maxwell Hyde architecture. Matthew Josephson, biographer and critic and one of the originators of the movement, said he saw in it a leftward move among the country's intellectuals. Signers of the call said they were "convinced that both the Republican and Democratic parties represent the interests of the moneyed classes, that is, of the big manufacturers, capitalists and bankers, and not the interests of the people at large. That there is no way out of the crisis through either of the business or the corrupt, and both will try to save the profits of the rich at the expense of the rest of the population. The Communist party alone is working to educate and organize the classes dispossessed by the present system, so as to make them an efficient instrument for establishing a new society based on equal opportunity." --- The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 1932. We regret, very much indeed, that we did not get to see our long-time conferee and friend, Editor Wm. H. Steward of the Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist, when he called at The Gazette office, last Saturday noon. Mr. Steward was in the city attending the National Baptist Convention. The Civil Service Commission has ruled that Atty. Jirsa's temporary appointment as superintendent of the Portland-Outwashite playground is illegal. This as a result of complaints made by five bath-house supervisors who said they had been laid off and their work given to other men. The commission holds that as long as a layoff list of bath-house supervisors was standing, one of the layoffs should have been appointed to the position given Jirsa. This reminds The Gazette to ask local "Negro" Democrats the following question: If Morgan had been elected mayor, would the Republicans have DARED to appoint a white person superintendent of the Portland-Outwashite bath-house and playground? SOME GOOD NEWS! Thank the Lord for the defeat of former U. S. Senator Cole L. Blease who was a candidate for renomination, Tuesday, in the Democratic primaries of South Carolina. Blease is one of the bitterest enemies our people have in all the South. And the defeat, Tuesday, of U. S. Senator Edwin S. Broussard in the Louisiana Democratic primaries is some more good news. It was Broussard who said that the late Hon. Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans was "personally objectionable" when Cohen's reappointment as a U. S. official in New Orleans was being considered in the Senate. It was Cohen's connection with our race that made him "objectionable" to Broussard who now seems to be "objectionable" to a large majority of the Democratic voters of his state. Thank the Lord for his defeat, too. FREEING HAITI? The text of the latest treaty of "friendship" between this country and Haiti does not indicate a sincere desire on the part of our government to hand the control of that country back to the Haitians. It provides for the withdrawal of the U. S. marines from one of the three departments, in December, 1932; from the second department, in December, 1933, and from the third, in December, 1934. The joker in the notes given the Haitian foreign minister by the U. S. minister to Haiti is the provision that "if serious disturbances, or other difficulties, now unforeseen should arise," the departure of the marines may be delayed. These notes are officially attached to the treaty and their provisions are held to be binding if the treaty is ratified by the Haitian National Assembly. In the light of past experiences, we believe this is deliberately planned as a loophole for permitting the indefinite forcing of the marines on Haiti. Therefore, we do not believe that the document is an earnest effort to carry out the recommendations of the Forbes commission which two years ago urged that Haiti be given to the Haitians. Poor "bleeding Haiti!" That more than 3,500 of its natives have been shot to death by U. S. marines does not seem to satisfy American greed, and therefore the end is apparently not yet. MAKE THEM LIVE IN THE CITY A plea for the Cleveland school board, to compel its teachers to move from the suburbs to the city, fell on deaf ears when it came before the board's education committee, last week Friday. Mrs. Clara Tagg Brewer, chairman of the committee, and SENATOR NORTON. We call the attention of all of our readers particularly to the letter, elsewhere in this paper, of Senator Laurence H. Norton, Republican candidate for county treasurer. Just as we anticipated, he exposes the vicious attack upon his candidacy, made in the local Democratic papers of last Saturday and since, as a result of alleged statements they claimed he made in his speech to Republicans in Lakewood, last week Friday night. Senator Norton's parents were old residents of Cleveland, noted for their friendly attitude toward our people, and he has ever been true and tried in his friendship, emulating their example. During his six or more years as a member of the Ohio State Assembly, we have had repeated and material demonstrations of this fact. He is most positively not the type of man who could make the statements attributed to him by the local Democratic press. Senator Norton is a broadminded, able and conscientious friend of our people as all know. He was drafted as a candidate for county treasurer by the leading Republicans of this community because of his splendid standing as a citizen, and will be elected in November. He did not seek the nomination. Our people must not be misled by the vicious Democratic attacks upon him but stand as a solid phalanx for his triumphant election. Norton for county treasurer should be our slogan. Mrs. Mary B. Martin, our member, held that the board had gone as far as it should in restricting employment to those living within the limits of the county. City voters and not voters in the suburbs elected Mrs. Brewer and Mrs. Martin to the school-board. Let the teachers who insist on living out of the city, get schools to teach in the suburbs. That should be the stand taken and maintained in the cases of ALL city officials and employees who do not vote in the city. BUNDY RIGHT, THIS TIME. Councilman Leroy N. Bundy, in a transportation committee meeting, charged that the railway is deliberately impairing service on the Central Ave. line because it wants that line discontinued, and "The Blossom Triplet" is right! The Gazette has been calling attention to this fact for nearly two years. Traction Commissioner Hertz denied it, saying that Central Ave. cars now ran at sixteen and a half minute intervals because the territory served by those cars could also obtain service from the Cedar and Scovill Ave. lines. Is that so? If our poor people of the Central Ave. district who must use the Central Ave. street-cars to go to their work, can be served, as Hertz says, by walking over to Cedar or Scovill Ave., then why give those more fortunate persons (white), who usually use their autos, bus and car service on Clifton Ave. and Euclid Ave., the busses running on the same streets as the street-cars, and at thousands of dollars loss to the poor car-riders of all the city. By cutting out the busses, street-car fare might be reduced.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 1932. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years’ Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. Our 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 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: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution.

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 include such inquiry as permanently 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 any other manner, may 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 of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed $10,000, and ages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, and then be distributed to the surviving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor or children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of the person so lynched, or 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.

If a mob carries a 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 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 enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. 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 to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the benefits or privileges they afford, shall be united 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 to the 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 Women Leaders of the LB-N Republican Club Still Showing the Way—The Speakers, Etc. Eighty-seven members and 15 visitors attended the Ingalls-Bolton-Norton club meeting, last week Friday evening, at 2183 E. 31st St. Among the visitors were: Atty, and Mrs. Thos. Green and Mr, and Mrs. Leonard Foreman of Akron. Short speeches were made by Councilman George, Payne and Bundy, Mr. Foreman, Mr. and Mrs. Green, former Many" Judge Meyers, Atty Peter Dilhoff, Judge Meyers, Atty Peter Dilhoff, and the president of the club. The secretary then read a letter and an editorial in The Gazette of last week which answered charges made against Senator Laurence H. Norton. The club expressed its fullest confidence in Mr. Norton, especially since the editor of The Gazette, whom all know as a staunch defender of the rights of our group, editorially urged our support of Mr. Norton's candidacy for county treasurer. James E. Bantum, exalted ruler of Cuyahoga Lodge, Elks, spoke for the club and in an excelent follow constituted leadership, so far as that leadership was sincere, honest, unselfish and efficient. He also warned all not to become over-confident, but to continue to work harder and harder until success comes. The club will have a grand mass meeting at the Western Reserve Republican club, next Friday evening. Everybody welcome. Real Estate Mortgage Loans 12543 EUCLID AVE.

CLEVELAND Social and Personal A large number of the members of the "76" club have withdrawn and affected a new organization. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs delivered a very interesting address, Saturday evening, at Antioch Baptist church. R. K.

"She's keeping my false teeth just so I'll go back," complained Ellsworth Robinson, 4421 Central Ave. last week, as he asked the police prosecutor's office to swear out a warrant against Olive Tripplet, age 26, of 2225 E. 65th St., for stealing the teeth. I had my teeth out when I quartered a squared," he told the prosecutor, "and afterward I couldn't find them." The 11th Ward Republican club's opening meeting of the campaign was held at the Western Reserve Republi- cation Center, evening Sept. 16, 32. There was music, hot coffee and saffrones as well as speaking by several of our local ministers, our councilmen and many local Republican candidates. There was a large attendance.

Kennedy had been indicted on a charge of shoot- ing, and on election day, Feb. 16, at Central Ave. and E. 33th St. he shot Robert Jones in the side. Dr. Clarence Cheeks of Erie, one of the proprietors of the fine, new C. W. C. food store at Cedar Ave. and E. 100th St., was in the city, the first of the week. Mr. Alonzo Wright, another member of the company owning and operating the store, manages six or eight standard oil gas stations in the city which employ from 35 to 50 of our young men. Adell and Loretta Banks, of Lakeview Rd., entertained members of the Ovidian club, last week Friday evening. Mirea Reba Cox of Dayton, president of the district junior federation, guest of honor, gave a short talk on the work of the organization in Dayton. Officers of the club elected for the ensuing year: Miss Mildred Coleman, pres.; Miss Loretta Banks, vice-pres.; Miss Lois Caver, sec. The real grand mass meeting of the campaign to date will be held next week Friday evening at the Western Reserve Republican club by the Ingalls-Bolton-Norton club, largely women voters. Do not fail to attend and hear a number of the best campaign speakers in the city, Miss Jane Hunter, several Republican candidates for state and county offices, our three councilmen and the Hon Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette. Natalie Henderson, age 5, E. 85th St., was our only representative among the winners of the recent Cleveland Press WTAM and broadcasting stations and R. K. O. Palace contest in quest of talents. There were over 2,000 entries, and nine finalists of which Natalie was one. The winner, selected last Saturday, is appearing this week as part of the vaudeville program at the Palace theater and is to be paid $50 for services rendered. The 17th Ward Republican club's mass meeting at St. Paul Zion A. M. E. church, Tuesday evening, drew a capacity crowd and was very enthusiastic. Councilman Roy Bundy presided and there were a large number of speakers, county Republicanites, Congressman Chester C. Bolton, Goo. Bender, Mrs. Lethia C. Fleming and Mrs. H. M. Walker. The large crowd was particularly pleased with Senator Laurence H. Norton's speech and gave him a vote of confidence and assurance of united support. The informal reception, last week Wednesday evening, in honor of Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention in session here, given by the Christian Community Center, 2712 Scoville Ave. K. Williams, director, proved a valuable social function indeed. Greensboro extends Williams by A. F. Williams, former City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, Atty. Louis Drucker and David S. Ingalls, leading members of the other group in this city, added materially to the success of the occasion; read by Rev. Sylvester Williams. So the Rev. D. Ormonde Walker, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, has "broke out" against Republican leadership. We presume he has been railing at local Republican leadership so much in recent years he finds it easy now to attack national Republican leadership. This wouldn't be so bad, if he had something better to offer. The indirect suggestion he makes, that our people follow Democratic national leadership controlled absolutely, as it, by southern Democracy, is bad because it would have us select the greater of the two evils to follow. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND, 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 them, 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-respect and 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscription 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 desal of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. LISTERINE THROAT TABLETS Antiseptic Prevent & Relieve Hoarseness Sore Throat Coughs Made by Lambert Pharmacal Co., Saint Louis, U. S. A.

HIS year all Sweden is cele brating, with memorial rites and exhibits, the three hundredth anniversary of the death in bat tle of Gustavus Adolphus, the Swedish hero king. ‘Many are the ways of celebratins. for as the traveler moves about Swed fen by canoe, coast steamer, river barge, motor car, railway or aixplane, he is confronted with many peoples with customs and dialects unatike. ‘The differences, however, fade in Tetrospect and the outstanding impres- sion one gets of Sweden today is of 1 elosely-knit and homogeneous group. In {ts population an unusually pure Nordic type predominates—tall stature, Jong face, light complexion, olden hair and blue eyes. The blond color- ing gives the streets of Stockholm a quality of lightness. In contrast, Paris Seems somewhat somber and dark ‘The one exception to the homoxene- ty of the population of Sweden is the Lapp. Some seven thousand of them @ race apart, dwell in the Arctic wastes of the Far North. In some vague past—thelr racial memory. is short—they wandered in from the East, possibly from Mongolia. They have not stopped to carve their names ‘on the eternal hills, They are deaf to the tread of the centuries. For them the music of life comes only through the singing of the wind above thelr nomad tents of bark and through the velvety tramp of fleet, vagrant rein deer hoot. ‘As protected wards of the Swedish state, members of this alien race Foam securely over the tundras and snow-capped ffelds of the North. For more than a century Sweden has not been embroiled in war. At no time in {ts history has a conquering foe in- vaded its territory and left the custom ary aftermath of mixture of blood. During the past six years Sweden has entered more actively upon its human ftarian purpose of trying to outlaw war altogether. Sweden has no colonies and so avoids entangling alliances. Its zest for empire and empire-building was worked off in the flush of youth. In the Viking days brave adventurers went West, and traces of their wan- derings still exist on the coasts of England and France, Iceland and Greenland; but in many of the lands they touched they left no enduring ree- ord of occupancy. Sweden's intervention In the Thirty Years’ war saved the cause of religions Uberty for Europe. Then came the brilliantly tragic reign of Charles XI With his death in 1718 ended his gal- lant defense, as he alleged, of west- ern {deals of statecraft against the threat of Muscovite anarchy. Sweden had lost its Baltic possessions. Its prestige as a world power diminished. ‘The energy expended on extending em- plre has since been directed toward the more peaceful pursuits of devel- oping internal resources. No Immigrants There. Sweden has no immigration problem, about 99 per cent of its six millions belng native-born. Not immigration, but emigration, once threatened the national welfare. Before American immigration quotas were known, near- Iy 2 fifth of Sweden's population was represented in the United States, Love of country dominates the Swed- Ish people. Their songs reveal a pas sionate love for the beauty of the land which has been an unending source of inspiration to Swedish poets. ‘The Swede's reputation for melancholy may be attributed wholely to his sus ceptibility to the vagaries of the weather. He is gloomy at the very thought of autumn, harbinger of the dark winter months. All the russet gorgeousness of September and Geto ber {s wasted on him. He is quick to Inment the briefness of the season of light. Remind him of some event in the past and he is likely to say retlec: tively, “Oh, yes, that was the year the summer fell on a Tuesday.” In that respect he is the arch pesst- mist. Stockholm, to be sure, is in very nearly the same latitude as the southern tip of Greenland. This means that approximately two-thirds of the country lies in latitudes generally con- sidered unfavorable to habitation and growth. But the climate of the Sean: dinavian peninsula, with its jazzed? coast line sweeping down miajestics! ty from polar regions into the North and Baltic seas, is tempered*by the warm Atlantic drift, which follows the western coast of Norway and dips also into the Skagerrack. There is 4 Joy ous glamour about the way spring and summer come with a rush, Almost overnight, in the South, one sees the beech forests turn into low ranges of Jade. ‘The Islands the transatlantic visi tor sees first, as he nears the Swedish coast, are those that eneirele the hr: hor of Goteborg (Gothenburg), chief shipping center and commercial por” of the country; for the ustial approneh to Sweden is by the “lonely passe” that rounds the bleak northern tip of Scotland and then threads down among the Islands in the Kattexat.

French designers study carefully this subject of decoration. They try ench frock with several different color accents, with various hats and with gloves of different types.

As stated in our issue of Aug. 13, 22, with the Issue of Aug. 20, '32, ‘The Gazette entered pon its fiftieth year of continuous publication, every Week on time, This payer made it Hist appearance, Aug. 25, 1888, with the writor at the helm as part-owner, editor and) manager.

As a direct re- sult of the efforts of ‘The Gazette, many” years ago, the _ notorious “Black Laws” of Ohlo were wiped ont, 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, has never failed ‘to’ do all in its power to help, defend and pro- tect our people, not only tn Ohio but of the entire country. Tt has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and “turned back” the “‘jim- crow Negro" who is a more treacher- fous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than any other enemy of the race. Indeed, “The Old Re- liable” Gazette has stood out in the open all of its years of life like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never faltering and always deter- mined. “What it has done in hun- dreds of other instances to help, de- fend and encourage our people along all lines of endeavor that lead to greater and better progress is a mat- ter of general knowledge thruout the country. We refer particularly to its efforts against discrimination, national, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to 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 cal to Afro-Americans, generally, in sea- son and out, has been to accept noth- ing in the way of treatment that is less than all citizens, without refer- ence to class (race) Or color, are en- titled to.

"The Gazette believes in. de- manding for our people, in this sec- Un of the country at ieast, and in continuing to fight for, ALL that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, thru all these years, together with its known accomplishinents, are its best recom- mendations for continued and great- er support, and Wwe respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the past forty-nine years—thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and trom the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appre- ciation, There is, however, one thing we would ask’ of all our read- ers, at this time, and that is. that they urge thelr friends and acquaint- ances to become subseribers of “The Old Reliable” Gazette and in_ this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good.

Last week The Cleveland Gazette completed its 50th year of publica tion, without having missed a single issue, and with the same editor, Hon. Harry C. Smith. What priceless service this paper and this editor have rendered to the race! Ohioans are especially indebted to Harry Smith for the long years of unselfish service he has given to his people. As a legislator, he introduced the Ohio Civil Rights bill and the Ohio Mob Volence Act, wheh became laws of the state and are models for other states. He has ever fought segregation and “fim-crowism,” and race proscription of every kind. Ne- groes of Ohio have a better chance because Harry Smith and The Ga- zette have been fighting for them for fifty years. We congratulate Editor Smith and his splendid publication. —Dayton -(0.)
