Washington, D. C.—The personal story of what a woman (white) investigator saw in "Negro" labor camps along the Mississippi flood-control project was before the War Department, last week Friday, for use in connection with its promised inquiry into charges that conditions of virtual slavery exist on the levees. This investigator, Miss Helen Board-Arnold, was the first woman her true story to Brig. Gen. G. B. Pillisburg, assistant to the chief of army engineers, in charge of the flood-control work. Her complaints were against conditions in camps maintained by contractors, to whom levee and other flood -control work has been let by army engineers. Miss Board-Arnold said that our laureates were subjected to wages, were paid low wages and worked extraordinarily long hours and that insanitary living arrangements and other conditions amounting to virtual slavery prevailed. She was accompanied by Walter White, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. Conditions and Treatment Terrible: "I saw 'Negroes' living in ragged, miserable and overcrowded tents, unscreened from mosquitoes and flies, surrounded in some cases by piles of garbage," she said. "The men worked from 12 to 16 hours a day. Wages, but by the use of a trick, unnecessary system even that amount was self-paid. Brutality in the camps is the rule. Some of the contractors and foremen were armed, with rifles. I saw them myself. All the workers were terrified and afraid to talk. They would talk only if no white people other than myself were in sight and then only if they were introduced by someone they knew."

Congress and Two for the State Senate—Michigan Detroit, Mich.—Chas H. Mahoney, candidate for Congress, Senator Chas A. Roxborough and Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, candidates for the state senate, were our successful Republican nominees at the primaries of last week Tuesday. Mr. Mahoney, a graduate of Michigan U. law school in 1911, lead his two white Republican opponents and Dr. Jas. W. Ames, with a vote of 6,092 votes. Senator Roxborough, also won a signal victory for renomination in the third district, and Dr. Ossian Sweet of the "Sweet-Case" fame, came out on top in the second district. The first congressional district of Michigan with its 75,000 Afro-Americans has about 75 percent of the population and the city of Hamtranck. This population, however, is not 25 per cent of the total population of the newly formed district whose boundaries were established only last winter, when the state was redistricted to provide for three additional congressmen from Michigan.

A Popular Young Couple Married— Ceremony Beautiful — Promi- nent Persons in Attendance —The Bridesmaids, "Best Man," Ete. Miss Mildred Ridley and P. Eugene Miller were quietly married, last week Friday evening, at the residence of the bride's mother in E. 95th St. by her uncle, the Rev. W. L. Petty of Chicago. A goodly number of friends of both races assembled to witness the interesting ceremony. The bride was given in marriage by her mother, Mrs. Freda Ridley. The bridesmaids were the Misses Ernestine Sheppard and Catherine Bell, and V. L. McPherson was best man. Lovely little Miss Jean Goode was the ring-bearer and Mrs. Rosa Robinson played the beautiful singer. The newweds made a fine looking young couple and start out with the best wishes of scores of friends and acquaintances. Among the guests which filled the Ridley apartment to overflowing were: W. J. Daily, manager of the General Electric Co., and party of three; County Commissioner Jack Harris and part of two, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, and practically all of the office-force of the county commissioners where the bride has been employed for several years as private carer to Mrs. Harris.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1932. Editor Robert S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender has our heartfelt sympathy in the loss, recently, of the best friend he has had, or ever will have—his mother. Detroit is apparently leading the country in the number and importance of Afro-American regular party nominees. See Detroit letter elsewhere in this paper. --- The N. A. A. C. P.'s good work, in turning the spotlight on the barbaric treatment of our employees in the levee camps of the South, and forcing the government to take cognizance of the fact, is an exceptionally fine piece of work for which it should be commended in the strongest possible manner. --- Just as we anticipated, the new treaty offered Haiti, in recent months, by the U. S. government, was rejected, because there was provision in it for this country to continue its marine-control of that country until 1936. The Hon. Dantes Bellegarde, Haitian minister to this country, also calls attention to the fact that "continuance of certain American government financial control until 1952" was another reason. BIG ISLAND PARK. There is an exceptional and really wonderful opportunity presented to our people at a minimum cost, in the Big Island Park advertisement on page 1 of this paper, that should not be overlooked by those who know how to appreciate as well as enjoy the wonderful opportunities afforded by its manager and owner, Mr. Ed Hinkey, at that very convenient to reach pleasure-resort on Sandusky Bay. So near Cedar Point, with every transportation facility by both water and land, and so easy and quickly reached over the best roads by auto, here is something at a minimum cost that our people have craved for, for many years. Grasp the opportunity and write to Mr. Hinkey immediately for any additional information you may desire. He will be very pleased to show the right kind of people every courtesy possible, as indicated in the advertisement referred to. HELP WILBERFORCE Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of The Christian Recorder and president of Wilberforce University, has issued a strong appeal to our editors, in particular, and all of our people, in general, to give the University the support it is in such great need of at this time. He asks that an effort be made to raise one million dollars for the institution, and Afro-Americans ought to comply with his request. Dr. Wright is not only an educator, but what is more important to Wilberforce University just at this time, he is a good business man, giving the institution the sort of an executive it has lacked and so greatly needed for more than a quarter of a century. Our people know the institution, and if they wish it continued, must come to its assistance immediately and remain for a reasonable period of time. The State of Ohio will never take over Wilberforce University, as advocated by some misguided individuals. It has been most liberal in its support of its department of the institution and will be even more liberal in the future, with Dr. R. R. Wright as president of the university. Our close association with the institution ever since 1894 when we served our first of three two-year terms in the Ohio General Assembly, followed by a recent three-year trusteeship of the state department, and our life-long interest in the great African Methodist Episcopal church which controls the university (its state department only excepted) prompt us to endorse and back President Wright's appeal and request, to the limit. Therefore, we ask especially that Ohio Afro-Americans join with us in the effort being inaugurated by Dr. Wright to make Wilberforce University all it should be, for the benefit of our youth and all others who may attend it. ROOSEVELT AND HAITI "The facts are, I wrote Haifat's constitution myself, and if I do say it, I think it is a pretty good constitution." The above statement was made Aug. 19, 1917, by the present candidate for president on the Democratic ticket, Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was proud of it, wasn't he? This is the constitution that robs the little black republic of its last vestige of civic and political freedom. Under it, marshal law with marine rule was forced on Haiti, its courts were denied the right to function, the old Haitian constitution was nullified, Haitian lands were seized, contrary to Haitian law, and when the Haitian legislature refused to accept the infamous Roosevelt constitution, the Assembly was forcibly dissolved by Gen. Smedley D. Butler, commander of the marines, at the points of bayonets. It was this same man Butler who in a speech, several years ago, at Pittsburgh, on his return from Haiti, publicly announced that thousands of native Hawaiians (3500, if memory serves us correctly) had been shot down there by his U. S. marines. As a matter of fact, the enforcement of the Roosevelt Haitian constitution has occasioned the bloodiest chapter in all the history of Haiti. The people of that little black republic have since been virtual slaves under the brutal rule of U. S. marines. Among the 3500 natives, killed in the first five years under the Roosevelt-Haitian constitution, were a number of women and children. The foregoing is TRUTH and not merely campaign "fodder." Prime Sport News "Gorilla" Jones vs. "Bucky" Lawless Akron, O. — "Gorilla" Jones of this city, N. B. a champion, was to win his third victory since his return from Paris, France, when he met an old rival, "Bucky" Lawless of laurse, N. Y., in a 12-round bout at Lawless on Monday night. Lawless holds three decisions over Ojones, defeating him in 10 rounds in Akron, 12 rounds in Cleveland, and 10 rounds for a second time, in Chicago. Coming back from his notorious title-bout (?) in France, "Gorilla" has engaged in two bouts, knocking out Jack December (white) in two rounds in Cleveland and win- ning in two rounds at Davenport, Iowa. Mr. Suey Welch will take Jones and other members of his "stable" to the Pacific coast, this winter. They Must Need Money. Hack Wilson, who smacked out 23 homers and batted in 120 runs for the Brooklyn Dodgers, this season will lead Casey Stengel's National League All-Stars against the Pittsburgh Crawfords, in a double header at the stadium, Sunday. "Chocolate" "Fires" His Manager, New York City—Kid Chocolate announced, the first of the week, that no longer would he recognize contracts arranged by Louis Guttierze, his manager for nine years. The Afro-Cuban, holder of the junior light-weight championship, said he would not appear in Detroit, this week Thursday night, for a match against Johnny Farr of Cleveland. Guttierze said he had five more years to run and that he would appeal to the courts in the event "Chocolate" attempted to sign with another manager. OUR 4-H GIRL EARNS $1,211.11 in Canning and Poultry Projects and Talks to the Nation Over the Radio. Washington, D. C. (CNS).—Living in the heart of the Mississippi hill country, 20 miles from the nearest railroad, Ozie Bell Garrett, 16 year old Afro-American 4-H club-girl of Farmhaven, Madison County, winner of the contest among 4-H club members in South-central states, earned $1,211.11 during the past four years in canning and poultry projects, a part of her club activity. Speaking over a nation-wide hook up on the land-grant college program of Madison farm and N hour of the U.S. department of agriculture, Sept. 21, Miss Garrett, who won a trip here, and placed on the radio-program here because of being selected as the best all-around club member in seven states, described the activities of the clubs in her state and community. She is the oldest of a family of nine children. ANOTHER GAZETTE "ALUMNUS." In a letter received, the first of the week, from James A. Jackson of the U. S. Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Washington, D. C., whom it seems is also an "alumnus" of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, there appeared the following of special interest to all of our readers: "Incidentally, in closing, may I remind you that you and The Gazette find place in practically every speech I make through my mention of my own entry into newspaper work which ended in "Billboard" Jackson coming into this office. You of course would not recall it, but my first job in life was selling The Gazette in Bellefonte, Penna. I was then nine years of age. Now, I am fifty-four and grey-headed. Often wanted to tell you that. If you have the old records you will find my cousin, Nettie Palmer, was the correspondent at the time. "Yours truly. James A. Jackson." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

Introducing a Life-Long and Real Friend of the Race—One of the Best Judges on the Common Pleas Bench. The above is an excellent portrait of a long-time friend not only of the editor of The Gazette but also all of the public. We are introducing him to the readers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette, at this time, because he is a candidate for re-election to the common pleas bench of this county. Judge James B. Ruhl, of Cleveland, was born May 21, 1864, on a farm near Lisbon. He attended the district school, prepared for college at David Anderson High school (Lisbon) and, earning his way by teaching, was awarded the degree of North University with the degree of B. S. in 1888; M. S. and LL. B., in 1891; and LL. M., in 1905, receiving PETER H. HARRIS LL. D. from his alma mater in 1923, and from Mt. Union college in 1926. He was superintendent of public schools of McComb, O., 1888-89; instructor in mathematics, Ohio Northern university, 1899-91; and read law in the university at the same time. He was admitted to the bar of Ohio, June 4, 1891; U. S. district court, 1893; U.

This was in June, 1894, when he came to Cleveland where he has ever since practiced his profession, very successfully. This county one of the best probate judges it has ever had.

Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.-WNU Service. SEVILLE, center for a few hours recently of a royalist uprising, is described as "the most Spanish city of Spain" by many of the visitors who travel down from Madrid and up from Cadiz and come to a brief halt in this famed town of southern Spain, capital of ancient Andalusia, sun-swathed city of splotted shadows, where encroaching modernity seems ever to struggle futility against the strongly entrenched, if slightly crumbling, glory of long ago. And perhaps those folk who are wont thus to describe Seville are right. Probably nowhere else in all the Iberian peninsula does one come, upon more definite traces of that luxuriant flower that -was Old Spain than in this city of a quarter of a million souls, which straggles along the banks of the slow-moving Gandalquiv river, In Madrid, in Barcelona, in other thriving cities of the North and East, one is in Spain, to be sure; but a Spain revived, cosmopolitan, commercialized. In the high interior, from Caceres to Castellon, one likewise knows Spain; but it is a rural Spain, a credulous, cradled Spain, where the simple beauties of blue skies and verdant hillsides are somehow transmitted to one's daily life. And in the mountain-top towns of the South, crumbled outposts of Moslem might, one finds the Spanish influence still strangely subdued by moldering remnants of the once far-flung Moorish empire. But Seville is a delightful blend of the romantic past and the busy, quick-moving present. Along smoothly paved streets are churches hoary with age and beside them steel-framed office buildings. A few miles from Seville the buried Roman city of Italica, of which thus far only the arena has been fully excavated, gives mute, if muddy, evidence of that classic civilization which was in full flower at the birth of the Christian era. Many of the carved treasures of Italica and of the other Roman ruins in Carmona, nearby, have been collected and may be seen today in the Provincial museum of Seville and in several private homes of the city. The great majority, however, are believed still to lie buried beneath clay coverlets, wherein geonations of gnarled olive trees have embedded their roots. And the Tower of Gold, while slightly grimy from steamboats' funnels in the Guadalquivir river, is not greatly changed from that day in 1202 when the Moorish governor of Seville conspired with the western sun's reflection to give it a name. But it was the virility of western Christendom, building on the Orient's lavish splendor, that made the Seville of today. Not until mosques were transformed into churches did this city, nestling at the threshold of European civilization, attain its rightful place in the sun. Phoenician, Carthaginian, Roman, Goth, Jew, Saracen, Christian—all collaborated in the making of Seville; but the greatest of these carried a cross. Their Home Life Is Simple. It is in the nature of things that the people of Seville should blend in their present lives a little of each of the eventful epochs of the city's past. Each race, in lingering and passing, has left something to the Sevillano, whether it be in language, customs, architecture, or in mere physical characteristics. Few of these gifts appear uppermost today. Many racial threads twine through the tapestry that depicts the life in Seville as it is lived at present; but all of these strands have been happily woven into a fabric wherein is portrayed the glory of the past, the awakened strivings of the present, and a future that is at once promising and undetermined. The ordinary visitor to Seville learns little about the home life of the Sevillanos, for their home life is a thing apart. There is no great mystery about it. It is very simple, fulsomely satisfying to its several members, and complete unto itself. It is a taken-for-granted part of existence and seldom enters into the discussions and activities of everyday life. Foreign admittance thereto is not desired—indeed, is not comprehended—and in fact there is little social in course among the families themselves. Antique dealers are found on every Buried Roman City. band. The resurrection and, if the truth must be known, the contemporary manufacture of "antiques" constitute one of the city's leading industries. Plenty of Antiques. The score and more of antique shops in Seville have long been the mecca of collectors from all parts of the world, with the result that many tons of old Spanish furniture, iron grilles, paintings by old masters, moth-eaten hangings and draperies, ancestral silk shawls, ceramic tile the secret of whose soft glaze has long since been lost, anciently wrought pottery, and many other highly-prized objects are shipped each year from Seville. And no doubt many more tons remain to be found, bargained over, and eventually purchased, although it is well for the prospective buyer to remember that clever wormholes do not for antiquity make, nor rust-crusted iron bars for age. This reflection brings to mind the old story (itself an antique!), heard wherever the sale of antiquities has been developed into a fine art. The local version has to do with a young foreign student temporarily sojourn ing in Seville, who considers himself something of a connoisseur in the matter of old Spanish pottery. One day he happens to pass the cluttered window of an antique shop and notices there, all but hidden by the bric-a-brac bestrewing the showcase a certain blue bowl, fascinating despite a thick layer of dust. A moment he studies it, and then, feeling that here indeed is a "find," he straightway goes inside. But the grizzled old shopkeeper while gently courteous, is firm within and refuses to be tempted by an offer of 50 pesetas, declaring with many gesticulations that the price cannot possibly be a centimo below a hundred. Then weeks of haggling follow, during which time the pride of possession enters deep into the soul of the student, while incidentally the shopkeeper comes down to 75 pesetas. And, then, just as the youth is on the point of leaving Seville and while he is still debating that extra 25 pesetas, black disaster falls. Two wealthy tourists enter the shop, and from beneath the very nose of the covetous collector carry the blue bowl away in triumph, having without demur paid the original price of 100 pesetas. His voice trembling with disappointment, the student turns wrathfully on the old shopkeeper. "You sold it for 100, and yet you offered it to me for 75! And just as I am leaving, too!" Reward for a good Boy. "You are leaving Seville, senor?" Twinkling old eyes regard blazing ones. "Then, amigo, come with me. You have been a good boy and . . ." Through a mysterious door at the back of the shop and into an unexpected large, well-lighted room, the student is conducted. There, after the old man has carefully unlocked a mammy cabinet of carved wood and thrown back the doors, are discovered dozens of blue bowls standing in neat and silent companionship, each an exact replica of the "find" in the window. "Because you have been a good boy and did not tell the people of my lower offer, I have the great honor of presenting you with one of these. No, amigo, you shall not pay. And see, you and I are great friends, no? You say you are leaving Seville tomorrow? Then I shall show you my greatest treasure." A very small cabinet is there upon reverently approached, gingerly opened, and nesting on a velvet cushion is an exquisite blue pitcher. "Quite perfect, is it not, senor, save for that infinitesimal chip out of the lip? But it is old, my friend, centuries old. And I must tell you a very pretty romance about how it received that tiny blemish." After hearing the story and with difficulty overcoming the old man's dogged resistance, the youth is finally permitted to purchase the pitcher for 75 pesetas, but only because "he has been a good boy." There is a sequel to the story. The student, returning unexpectedly to Seville some days later and chance once again to pass the antique shop, beholds there, all but hidden by the jumbled odds and ends of antiquity sadly forlorn, a little blue pitcher quite perfect save for a scarcely noticeable blemish in its dust laden lip. Plenty of Antiques. Reward for a Good Boy THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1932. Clothes for the Kindergarten Age Clothes for the Kindergarten Age By CHERIE NICHOLAS A 16' college-going daughter and those of high and grammar-school were the only ones who must face AS if college-going daughters and those of high and grammar-school age were the only ones who must face the "eternal feminine" question of dress which the back-to-school season always brings on! What about the myriads of youngsters in kindergarten or in first-grade classes? Well, it's mother who must solve this problem. To be "practical" in childhood's realm, clothes must yield kindly to frequent tubbings. From this point mothers are finding out that corduroy for tiny-too coats and any one or more of the now-so-popular durene cotton meshes for wee folks' frocks serve a hundred per cent perfect. Not only do the good books and the washable qualities of corduroy speak in its favor but the fact that the modern weave is so much more supple than the old-style corduroy and lighter in weight, makes this material infinitely easier for the seamstress to handle. And so, mothers who know have come to consider corduroy a medium-ideal for the making of children's school and playtime apparel. The corduroy coat-and-hat "set" which little Miss Curlylocks is so proudly wearing in the picture might wisely be included in the wardrobe of any little girl who must go back and forth to kindergarten during crisp autumn days. Much to the delight of its wearer it has a cunning white bunny appliqued on each pocket. A self-scarf ties in cavat fashion close up around the throat in latest adult fashion. The neckline is, however, adjustable in that the coat can be thrown open, forming lapels at the front. LADY KEITH PHOTO This frock of black corded knit wool buttons up the back, which is an exceedingly molish thing for it to do. It has other equally as outstanding style features—its sleeve, for instance, which is very smartly designed with its buttoned lap at the elbow. its white waffle angora detachable front is another clever touch. Of considerable style importance also is the fact that shiny accessories are worn with this dull-finished knit outfit. The buttons, the belt and the shoes, all shine forth in effective contrast to the somber black. Patent leather belts with patent leather shoes are regarded as being in high fashion for fall. The shoes this young woman is wearing are side-laced patent leather and suede oxford of the high cut version. Mothers seeking materials for little girls' school dresses are making new discoveries in the realm of cotton fabrics which are proving genuinely helpful to them. They are finding smart durene cottons so artfully woven as to have an expensive woolly appearance whereas in reality they are unbelievably low-priced, Diagonals, ribbed effects, basket weaves, herringbone stripes and all sorts of fascinating novelties are included, and in a range of delectable colors from pastel tints to the very latest autumn reds, greens, navies and browns. The oldest child in the picture is gowned in an attractive dress made of durene cotton mesh. It features a yoke which buttons up the front so that it will slip on and off easily. There is also a matching bolero (in her hand). The ball and cord tie which is an effective trimming touch is easily made of yarn. The jaunty little durene mesh brimmed hat is an interpretation of a French juvenile fashion. The whole outfit washes beautifully—comes out looking like new from each tubing. A tiny-ot wardrobe would not be complete this season without at least one knitted costume. One can get such "cute" little sweater-and-skirt outfits and in charming color combinations. These make a great point of interesting stitch effects. © 1932, Western Newspaper Union. PREDICT VELVET WILL BE POPULAR Velvet is verging on one of the biggest vogues it has ever enjoyed in the fashion world. Until recently worn mainly by the mature or elderly woman, it has suddenly become one of the smartest fabrics of the day and French factories are now working day and night to supply the demand for coming fall and winter clothes. There are many new varieties, the heavily woven velvet and the soft light ones, the chiffon-ring variety and velours mousseline, as well as an extremely fine and silky sort made at Lyons. Dresses, coats, hats and even shoes are being made of velvet. "Little Convict" Is New Hat Popular in London A new hat is taking London by storm. It is less eccentric and "difficult" than the boater or pillbox, which had a brief but devastating popularity, and is called the "little convict." Like the beret, it is a type of skull-cap, but is more formal than that charming but abused piece of millinery. It consists of three strips or triangles, sewed to fit closely to the head, with a peak coming down on the forehead, taking off the bare look that the just-gone fashions have had, and is seen in almost every material. It can be adorned very successfully with a feather or spray of flowers, or a jeweled clasp—which, by the way, doesn't really clasp anything—and just as successfully left quite plain. Shirred Prints Printed sheer costumes are shirred so that the print is most charmingly blurred. Sometimes the whole frocks is shirred and the jacket is left shirred—so that there is a pleasant contrast of design between the two. Crochet Hats Brimmed hats of Irish and simple thread crochet mesh are replacing the brimless crochet caps that everyone was wearing earlier in the season. Rough Cotton Not only are these new tweety looking cottonts especially smart for suits and matching top coats but they make simply grand beach coats. OUR FIFTIETH YEAR. As stated in our issue of Aug. 13, '32, with the issue of Aug. 20, '32, the Gazette entered upon its fifteenth 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 manager. Many years ago, he purchased the interests of the other three members of the company and ever since the burden of and responsibility for the publication of The Gazette have rested upon his shoulders. How successful we have been in our efforts to 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, especially to the loyal of the race wherever they may be. As a direct result of the efforts of The Gazette, many years ago, the notorious 'Black Laws' of Ohio were wiped out and an anti-welfare 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 protect our people, not only in Ohio but of the entire country. It has time and again blazed the way to wiser and better political and other action, and "turned back" the "jim-crowg Negro" who is a more treacherous and dangerous opponent of real racial progress than any other enemy. Gazette has stood out in the open all of its years of life like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never faltering and always determined. What it has done in hundreds of other instances to help, defend and encourage our people along all lines of endeavor that lead to greater and better progress is a matter of general knowledge through the country. We refer particularly to its efforts against discrimination, and in favor of state municipality, and in favor of that which was unfair to the race. Personal and business interests have always been subordinated by its editor to those of the race, and The Gazette's clarion call to Afro-Americans, generally, in season and out, has been to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than all citizens, without reference to class (race) or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the north, we have been and always will be, unalterably opposed to any "doctrine of inferior education" policy, so insidiously preached, and at time, by "jim-crowg Negros" and their fool-prejudiced white masters. The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for, ALL that is due all American citizens, under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Our firm adherence to principle, thru all these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recommendations for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask the past forty-minute readers in all parts of the country from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. There is, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers, at this time, and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become subscribers of "The Old Reliable" Gazette and in this way assist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, you are now the person you were of our sincerest appreciation. Harry C. Smith Editor and Owner. FELICITATIONS Jackson, Mich., Aug. 16, '32 Hon. Harry C. Smith.

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 known. Wonderful newspapers have been born, reached remarkable circulation, and, with their talented editors, passed away, but both you and "The Old Reliable" Gazette have remained, and, miracle dictate, 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 renew my subscription to "The Old Reliable" Gazette. There is no chance for me to forget when my subscription is due as that is my anniversary and I always pay for a Union and The Gazette at the same time and on my anniversary. That makes it easy to remember. I have followed this in the last few years and think it is a good one. I want to congratulate 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 race men. I close with kindest regards from Your old friend. Cleveland, O., Aug. 25, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, M.D. Hon. Harry C.

Dear Editor:—Congratulations on the fiftieth anniversary of The Gazette. It is no small achievement to conduct any business continuously over a period of fifty years; but when that business is journalism and the publication survived without missing an issue through the vicissitudes of the fluctuating economic conditions of the past half century, then congratulations certainly are in order. Here is wishing the "Old Reliable" another fifty years of service to the human race. Sincerely yours, Exec. Sec. N. A. A. C. P. local branch Cleveland, O. Aug. 27, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, City. Dear Friend Harry:—It is to me a source of the deepest and profoundest regret that I was vacationing at Idlewild, Mich., and did not know what Gazette entered upon its fiftyth of continuous publication. I was a reporter for your paper 40 years age and at the same time secretary of the Onward Foraker club (of which you were president). Although I am somewhat late on account of being absent from the city for three weeks, I feel that I would be amiss in my duty if I did not extend to you my hearty congratulations for the "Old Reliable" Gazette all these years "missing a single week. This I know for you I have been a subscriber for 40 years and never missed a paper. Again I extend hearty congratulations, and I pray that you will live for many years to come and that "The Old Reliable" Gazette will be published every week on time, as usual, until time shall be no more. Very sincerely yours, Charles S. Smith. (Former Secretary to several Directors of Public Safety of this city and not a relative of the editor.—Editor.) Elmira, N. Y., Sept. 2, '32. Hon. Harry C.

Columbus, O., Sept. 2, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—I have just received a copy of your Aug. 27, '32, edition and read, with much interest, your article commemorating the fifth year of your publication. Your paper is a credit to yourself and to the state. Some time I hope to get better acquainted with you. Very truly yours. Geo. C. Braden. (Chairman Ohio Tax Commission and Republican candidate for Secretary of State.). Baltimore, Md., Sept. 6, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—Enclosed you will find money order for $2 for another year's subscription for your great weekly paper. It is wonderful for its size. I am glad to join in with all good thinking people and congratulate our team. We are proud to serve for our group. Permit me to say, I have a valuable piece of property in Cleveland on Cedar Ave., in the 9900 block. I see in The Gazette where our people are opening up new business places in that location and that it is rapidly growing. I hope they will not let the other race come in and take all of the best places away from them. I wish you another successful year Robert Stewart In honor of "The Old Reliable" Gazette's "Golden Jubilee," Mrs. Kate A. Mann Baker, former resident and school-teacher of Indianapolis, Ind., but for years residing in Pasadena, Calif., sent the letter of the Gazette. The Gazette is a beautiful hot-greeting in white and gold-tint which contains the following lines: Fifty years of gold memory! Fifty shining, golden years! Congratulations! And may the Happiness of this great event Linger long with you! To the foregoing, Mrs. Baker added: "Congratulations. Long live The Gazette. Aug. 25. '32. An 'Indianapolis' friend."

Pours very truly, American Bureau of Analysis, Inc., Wm. E. Sykes, Manager. Washington, D. C., Sept. 19, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Editor;—Permit me to con- gratulate you on the fifth anniversary of the truthful and reliable Gazette. Sincerely yours. Sincerely yours, (Mrs.) Julia Anderson Burdine. Late but sincere. Cleveland, Sept. 16, '12. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Old Friend, Harry: "naming true to form", you will say "The Old Time". But such is not exactly the case. My delay has been due to a rush of things—not for profit. But the little birds re- mind me of the fact that "The Old Reliable" Gazette has appeared on the streets of Cleveland for fifty years without outside interference. But to you my heartfelt congratulations. Fifty years is a long time, Harry. I did not know you were so old. But when I stop to think about it, I have known you for about forty years. And it has been forty years of pleasure to have known you. We have agreed and disagreed. We have agreed and disagreed. We have fought side by side. But whatever the circumstance of contact, I am sure there has always been that tie of respect and friendship, one for the other, that should attend all of us. As I look back and see the old land marks fading, one by one, and feel the lonesomeness that naturally creeps up in us deform, that heart beats with joy whenever I chance to run into militant Harry Smith. Harry, you have ever been true to what you believed. No one has ever had to go to another to find out where Harry Smith has stood on any question. I do not say I have always agreed with you, or that you have always been on the right side of things, but I do wish to be understood as saying that whatever opinion you have held on any matter, you have been doing nothing under certain disadvantages which we will not here discuss, Harry, you have played the game straight; you have been a true friend and a good citizen. Long may you live and prosper, for the world has been better because you have lived in it. Sincerely and truly yours. W. G. Oswald. Cleveland, Sept. 14, '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith Editor Gazette, O. Dear Harry:—I read with much interest the marked copy of the issue of August 20th, particularly the editorial—"Our Fifthth Year." You have made a great contribution to the life of Cleveland and your success over all the years is beyond question well merited. I wish you and The Gazette many more years of influence and prosperity. With kindest regards, I am, Cordially, Geo. B. Harris, (Common Pleas Judge.) Hon. Harry C. Smith is receiving national congratulations on the entrance of his famous paper, "The Cleveland Gazette," upon its fifteenth year of continuous publication. It has ever been a stanch defender of our rights, ever a relentless foe of "jim-crowism." — Cincinnati (O.) Union; W. P. Dabney, Editor. Last week The Cleveland Gazette completed its 50th year of publication, 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 C. Smith for the long years of unselfish people. As a legislator, he introduced the Ohio Civil Rights bill and the Ohio Mob Violence Act, which became laws of the state and are models for other states. He has ever fought segregation and "jim-crowism," and race proscription of every kind. Negroes of Ohio have a better chance because Harry C. Smith and The Gazette have been fighting for them for years. We congratulate Editor Smith and his splendid publication. —Daxton (O.) Forum, John H. Rivers, Editors
