Councilman Roy Bundy who followed the editor of The Gazette as a speaker at the I-B-N. club's recent meeting in the Western Reserve Republican club rooms, said he did not wholly agree with the editor in some things. Of course not! It was not to be expected that he would, because the editor tells the truth. It was the same way in the Dudley Blossom-City hospital, where he broke his promise to our people, and was wrong as usual. In his talk at the meeting he also spoke of "the long number of years he had been fighting his battles in politics." Just three years—since he has been a member of the City Council. He sure made most of his hearers smile, audibly. The recognition given Councilman George at the recent Chicago Republican workers' meeting seems to have got on Bundy's nerves, last week. He has not own appointment as "national registrar of Afro-Republican voters of Ohio," assisted by Councilman L. O. Payne. This is a Bundy joke, Nothing to it, at all, "a tall." The fact is Bundy has about reached the end of his political string. Some months ago, he double-crossed both Brown and Ingalls in the primary campaign for the Republican nomination for governor. Local Republican Leader Maurice Maschke refused to appoint him a member in the Republican Committee, as a result. Bundy's political supporters are leaving him like the leaves from the trees, these days. --- THE GAZETTE Sandusky, O.

HOOVER SPEAKS! A Delegation Promised Right of "Liberty,Equal Opportunity" "Some of Them Voters." Washington, D. C.—Upon White House steps, a delegation of more than 150 Afro-Americans, some of them voters, last Saturday received from President Hoover a declaration that "the right of liberty, justice and equality of opportunity is ours" Standing with head uncovered under a warm sun, the President, from the elevation of a curving stairway leading down from the south portico, told the delegates, gathered in a semi- PRESIDENT HOOVER. circle below him, that he desired to carry on the Republican traditions of Abraham Lincoln. "You may rest assured," he said, "that our party will not abandon or depart from its traditional duty toward the Afro-American. I shall sustain this pledge, given in the first instance by the immortal Lincoln and transmitted by him to those who followed, as a sacred trust." The chief executive's statement was in reply to three addresses by spokesmen who said they came as a result of the presidential election, gathered from more than 20 states, to get out the presidential vote of the race. One after another they stepped into a cleared circle to speak. Conkling Simmons of Chicago, who seconded the renomination of the President at the Chicago convention, spoke first and longest. HOOVER TO OUR PEOPLE! The Full Text of the President's Address to the Delegation at the White House, Saturday. Washington, D. C.—"I wish to thank you for your coming and for the presentation to me of so touching a statement, "The platform of the Republican party speaks with justifiable pride of the friendship of our party for the Afro-American that has endured unchanged for 70 years. It pledges itself to the continued assurance upon his rights. That the friendship and consideration of the party for the Afro-American has born fruit is evident in business in the arts and sciences, in the professions—and recently, in the seen a great achievement of two splendid youths, Tolan and Metcalfe, in world supremacy in the Olympiad. "It has been gratifying to me to have participated in many measures for advancement of education and welfare amongst the Afro-Americans of our nation. I have had the co-operation of the ablest of leadership from the Afro-Americans themselves in these institutions and movements. No better example exists than the contributions made to the recent White House Conference on Child Health and upon Home Building. I recall with great pleasure this co-operation in the relief of the floods, and many others in relief of floods, and in the sound advice and assistance I have had in relief from the present distress and unemployment. "You may be assured that our party will not abandon or depart from its traditional duty toward the Afro-American. I shall sustain this pledge given in the first instance by the immortal Lincoln and transmitted by him to those who followed as a sacred trust. The right of justice and equality is owned by the President of the United States is over obligated to the maintenance of those sacred trusts to the full extent of his authority. I appreciate your presence here, today, as an evidence of your friendship." A OCTOBER 8,1932.

Mrs. Williams, who was never recognized by the Hoover administration as Republican National Committeewoman Georgia, authored only election records for the Kansas City City in 1928, the nounces that she has no intention of supporting Hoover and Curtis after the treatment she received. OBITUARY Mr. Jefferson Coe, age 85, E. 74th St., one of our old and best known residents, died. Monday afternoon, after many months' illness, due largely to old age. Jeff, as he was familiarly addressed by scores of friends and acquaintances of both races, came to Cleveland about 1880 from the Lakeview hotel at Lake Chautauqua where he had served as a waiter during the summer season. For many years since he was caterer for many of the city's first (socially) families, including the Hannas and the Devereaux. Since the death of his wife, some years ago, Mr. Coe slowly failed, and became bedridden, several weeks ago. Dr. and Mrs. Jas. Owen occupied his home and took care of him for months and took his death. A son, "Kid Coe," survives the deceased. Mr. Jefferson Coe was the first subscriber of The Gazette. Interment will be in Lakeview cemetery. --- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS (Upper left) Herbert Newton, congressional candidate on the south side of Chicago.

Church Crowded—Jackson's Appointment Approved—Opens School for Voters.

The church was filled to overflowing and ©RSS PERRY B. JACKSON 28 new members were added to the roll. The president, Mrs. Della W. Clinton, urged the members to do all in their power to have every eligible person register before Oct. 18 and then vote the straight Republican ticket by placing a cross under the eagle. Many Republican candidates and workers spoke. The outstanding feature of the meeting, however, was the adoption of the following resolution: Resolved that the I-B-N Republican club go on record as endorsing the appointment of the Hon. Perry B. Jackson to membership on the County Republican Campaign Committee. The club meets, every Friday night, at the church and all persons interested in the success of the whole Republican ticket are invited to attend its meetings. The club has a school (open all day, daily) where voters can get instruction as to how to mark their ballots, etc. Independent Candidate for Congress, Dr. Joe T.

"100 YEARS TO COME"! Wants "The Old Reliable" to "Carry On" That Length of Time—"God Favors the Race." Monterrey, N. L. Mexico, Sept. 30, '12. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Mr. Smith:—I am writing to congratulate you on the 50th anniversary of "The Old Reliable Gazette. I have been reading our paper for thirty years and in every issue I can truthfully state that its purpose is to uphold and fight for the rights of the race. I hope that "The Old Reliable" Gazette may carry on the same line of activities for the next 100 years to come. I wish you would do all in your power, thru your paper, to condemn Roosevelt and Gandhi, and want to Garner elected because he is from Texas, one of the worst states in the Union. I see where you have condemned several would-be politicians for boosting Roosevelt. I am enclosing a clipping and when this man (John Sharp Williams of Mississippi) died, a few years ago, God did the race a great favor. I remain, Yours sincerely, Wm. Rhodes. "GOD BLESS YOU!" Cleveland, O. Oct. 2. '32. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, City. Dear Sir: It is with much satisfaction that I send you my hearty congratulations for your great and glorious successful publishing of the Gazette for the past 50 years.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1932. STATEMENT Of Ownership, Management, Etc., Required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912, Of The Gazette, published weekly, at Cleveland, Ohio, for October, 1922. State of Ohio County of Cuyahoga } ss. Before me, a notary public, in and for the State and county aforesaid, personally appeared Harry C. Smith, who, having been duly sworn according to law, deposes and says that he is the editor and owner of The Gazette, and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management, etc., of the aforesaid publication for the date shown in the above caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in section 411, Postal Laws and Regulations, do write. 1. That the name and address of the publisher, editor, managing editor, and business manager is: Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, Ohio. 2. That the owner is: Harry C. Smith. 3. That the known bondholders, mortgages, and other security holders owning or holding 1 per cent or more of total amount of bonds, mortgages, or other securities are: There are none 4. That the two paragraphs next above, giving the names of the owners, stockholders, and security holders, if any, contain not only the list of stockholders and security holders as they appear upon the books of the company but also, in cases where the stockholder or security holder appears upon the books of the company, a trustee or in any other fiduciary relation, the name of the person or corporation for whom such trustee is acting, is given; also that the said two paragraphs contain statements embracing affiant's full knowledge and belief as to the circumstances and conditions under which stockholders and security holders who do not appear upon the books of the company as trustees, hold stock and securities in a capacity other than that of a bona fide owner; and this affiant has no reason to believe that poration has any interest direct or indirect in the said stock, bonds, or other securities than as so stated by him. Signed. Harry C. Smith. Sworn to and subscribed before me this the 30th day of September, 1932. (Seal.) Paul Apple. (My commission expires Sept. 26, 1933.) Editor P. B. Young, of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, our largest paper in the Tidewater section of Virginia, has announced his support of Roosevelt for President, and says he will campaign in his behalf. This is to be regretted. Frisby E. Oldwine, like Wm. Rhodes, whose interesting communications will be found elsewhere in this paper, has been a reader of "The Old Reliable" Gazette for considerably more than a quarter of a century. The Communists are certainly making a determined effort to increase their Afro-American membership. If it were not for their stand against the government and the "force" methods they invoke, too often, they would meet with much more success. --- President Herbert Hoover's speech, Tuesday evening, at Des Moines, Ia., was an exceptionally able and interesting effort that is bound to help his candidacy more than anything said or done, up to date. About three more such efforts, in different parts of the country, on other important topics before election day in November, will just about insure his re-election. It was most illuminating indeed, especially for the western country. The Baltimore Afro-American and the Pittsburgh Courier have hurled to the support of Roosevelt and Garner, while the N. Y. Age has threatened to do so. These are three of our five largest newspapers. Rt. Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom of the great A. M. E. Church and Rt. Rev. E. Thomas Demby of the Protestant Episcopal Church, two of our best known and ablest bishops, have done the same thing. What does it all mean? The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of the annual renewal of her subscription and a letter of congratulations on our entrance upon our 50th year of continuous publication, every week on time, from Mrs. E. C. Berry of Athens, O. widow of Mr. Edw. C. Berry, our leading business-man in southeastern Ohio for many years. Also a fine leather card case in honor of the same event, from Miss Delliah L. Beasley of the Oakland, Calif. Dally Tribune. The Berryss and Miss Beasley were among The Gazette's earliest readers. A LIBERIAN "MUSSOLINI." U. S. Secretary of State Stimson's insistence that in this country's program of rehabilitation of Liberia, Africa, the proposed advisor, to be appointed by the U. S., be clothed with dictatorial powers, has very properly caused a strong protest from Afro-Americans. Many editors and others take the view that the adoption of the American plan by the League of Nations would be attributed by our people generally to the hostility of the Hoover administration toward the race. Any scheme having for its purpose the setting up of a super-government with a "Mussolinl" at its head and with Liberian officials as "puppets", should be vetoed by the League of Nations, says the N. Y. Age, and it is right. WHAT DEFEATED MORGAN. Last week Friday, Mayor Ray T. Miller announced that "all Jewish employees of the city would have a holiday the following day (Saturday)." City Managers W. R. Hopkins and Daniel E. Morgan, and Acting Mayor Harold H. Burton never went that far, although the Jewish employees of the city generally and very naturally took the holiday time off without the publicly expressed permission of the chief executive of the city. The failure of the Jewish wards of the city to give Daniel E. Morgan last Republican candidate for mayor anything near like the vote they should have given him, was what encompassed his defeat. This and nothing else! So Mayor Miller, who apparently appreciates this fact, was simply trying to show some appreciation, when he expressed himself as quoted in the foregoing. AL AND FRANK. So "Al" (Smith) and "Frank" (Roosevelt) shook hands, Tuesday night, on the platform of the Democratic state convention being held in Albany, N. Y. Wonder whether Al had a razor or a stiletto up his sleeve? They won their fight to nominate Lieut.-Gov. Herbert H. Lehman as the Democratic candidate for governor of the Empire State but left the greatest Democratic organization in the country, Tammany Hall, which was bitterly opposed to the Lehman nomination, gasping for political breath and in much the same condition that Schmeling left "Micky" Walker at the conclusion of their recent fight. The question now is whether "Al" will join Tammany in its effort to keep "Frank" from carrying New York state in November. The Republicans there have a good chance, this year, to elect their nominee, Col. Wm. J. Donovan, governor. 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. Ten copies a week, in 1887. was then nine years of age. Now I am fifty-four and grown. Often wanted to tell that. If you have the old records you will find my cousin, Nettie Palmer, was the correspondent at the time. DO YOU WANT A JOB? Chas. H. Leatherman, well-known former member of Cleveland, now sales-manager for the Colored Merchants Association's tobacco department, headquarters N. Y. City, was in Cleveland, a few days, last week. The C. M. A. conducts a chain of grocery-stores in the South, in addition to its tobacco department. Much of its output, tobacco, groceries, etc., are grown and manufactured by our people. As its district manager and distributor for this state, the C. M. A. has selected H. A. Leatherman, 1793 Lakeview Rd., Cleveland O., son of the sales-manager as well as tobacco department. The latter as will be seen in an advertisement elsewhere in this paper, is offering profitable positions to industrious members of the race. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1932 OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: MOBS. Section 6278. "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" in the wake of this chapter (93 v. 161 2). Section 6279. The term "serious purity" 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 or justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clubs, mails or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover from the county in which such as assault is made from the county 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 five thousand dollars (93 v 12 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there no widow or unmarried child shall be received such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is bad, to inquire into the case of the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover a judgment and costs against it in fact, for representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) MOBS. Section 6288. 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 the protection of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse 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' 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 for reasons applicable alike to the proprietor, the owner or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be denied not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty day, nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundreds dollars to the per person imprisoned 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. Prime Sport News At Bloomington, Ind., last Saturday, Indiana U. defated Ohio U. by a score of 7 to 6. Babb, (Ind.) Afro-American sub half-back, ran 26 yards thru tackle for an Ind. touchdown in the first 10 minutes of the game. Sunday at the stadium, the Pittsburg Crawfords defeated the team of National League players in both games of a double header. The first game went 10 innings. Score, 5 to 4. The second's score was 4 to 2. Couldn't Stop Simpson. Coldtown Stop Simpson Des Moines, Iowa.—The Simpson son college of Indianola, Ia., fought valiantly here, last week Friday night, before succumbing to Drake's superior manpower, 31 to 9. The former got the jump on their heavier opponents in the first quarter, scoring safety and a touchdown, but once the latter's speed and drive got under way, the visitors were unable to stop the dashes of Walter Simpson, Drake's Afro-American quarter-back, and the plunging of Gaer, hard-hitting sophomore. Chocolate Beats Farr Detroit, Mich. — Kid Chocolate, flashy Afro-Cuban boxer, won an easy decision over Johnny Farr of Cleveland in a ten-round bout here. Tuesday night.

It is said that there was a battle royal, the first of the week, in and out of the courts, for the possession of the body of Mr. Jefferson Coe who died, Monday afternoon, at his residence in E. 74th St. after some weeks' critical illness, owing largely to old age. It seems Dr. and Mrs. Jas. Owen, who occupied the Coe residence and have taken care of Mr. Coe for months, ordered Undertaken Christopher to take possession of the body of his son of the ceased, desired Undertaken Coe who buried his mother, to do the same for his father. Christopher, it is said, offered to turn the body over to Wills on payment of $750. Coe thereupon secured an attorney and carried his fight into the courts, Thursday, for possession of the body. 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 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 a businessman. 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 education and be even more liberal in its future. 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 Africans 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. This ought TO MAKE HIM TURN AROUND, ANYWAY FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON ONE OF THE MOST Difficult THINGS TO DO IN THIS WORLD IS TO ATTRACT A WAITER'S ATTENTION- WE HAVE GIVEN THE PROBLEM HANY MONTHS OF SERIOUS THOUGHT AND HAVE FINALLY RIGGED UP THIS SERIES OF PHYSICAL AND MUSICAL HINTS TO AROUSE A WAITER FROM HIS COMA- ALL THE STRINGS MUST BE PULLED AT ONCE- IF THIS DOES NOT WORK THERE IS NOTHING LEFT FOR YOU TO DO BUT TO EAT HOME. J. S. HALL'S, 7709 Cedar Ave. JUDGE JAMES B. RUHL 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 of all of our people in this community. 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 dis- tance program at David Anderson High school (Lisbon) and, earning his way by teaching, was graduated from Ohio Northern university with the degree of B. S. in 1888; M. S. and LL B., in 1891; and LL M., in 1905, receiving PETER H. BURKE 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, 1898-91; and read law in the university at the same university as the author of Ohio. Jun. 4, 1891; U. S. district court, 1893; U. S. supreme court, 1901; and has engaged in the practice of law in Cleveland continuously since admission. Married, April 2, 1894. His wife died, February 23, 1925. Atty. Ruhl was a member of the Board of Examiners for admission to the bar of Ohio, 1902-7. Tax attorney, amount awarded Scottish rite at Boston, Sept. 17, 1918, and made grand master F. & A. M. of Ohio. Oct. 16, 1924. Judge Ruhl was elected alumni trustee of his alma mater. He married again in 1927. He served as a private, first lieutenant, captain and regimental adjutant, Fifth Reg. O. N. G., and is a member of the Delta Theta Phil law-fraternity; the Knights of Pythias and the Presbyterian church. A wonderful record. ATTY. D. M. BADER A Thoroly Competent and Strong Republican Candidate for Probate Judge, Subject to the Election, Tuesday, Nov. 8, 1932. Mr. Bader, a resident of Lakewood, this county, whom the editor of The Gazette has known intimately since the fall of 1894, has practiced law very successfully in Cleveland since that year, and is well-known as a leading member of the local bar. Atty. Bader, who has a wife, three beautiful children and his sophomore year at Ohio Wesleyan University, Deleware, his home county where he was born and reared on a farm, remaining until 21 years of age. He completed his studies at Ohio Wesleyan in June, 1892; then entered the law department of the University of Michigan, after which he was admitted to the bar. This was in June, 1894, when he came to Cleveland where he has ever since practiced his profession, very much in make Cuyahoga county one of the best probate judges it has ever had. Therefore, The Gazette has no hesitancy in highly recommending Atty. D. M. Bader to all of our voters of this county.—Adv. BIG ISLAND PARK.

VELL the opening of the Cen: i tury of Progress exposition fat Chicago in 1958, the city and the state of Hlinois will be hosts to thousands of visitors. Not many decades ago all Iilinois was forest-clnd; her roads were In- dian trails; her buildings tepees and ploneer huts. ‘Then the ploneers and woodsmen pushed from the east in growing num- bers. ‘They came in flatboats and cov- ered wagons, Later they came by steamboat and railroad. Today the old routes of the earliest pioneers echo with the hum of airplanes. Nature endowed the state with a fertile soll to nourish mankind and stored treasures of minerals beneath to feed man’s machines of travel and industry. More than all, It blessed the state with a rugged, healthful cli- mate, which plays so large a part in fixing the temperament and destiny of Peoples and nations. What man has made of these factors is the story of Mlinols today. Glimpse it for a moment as from an airplane winging northward, over erisserossed arteries of concrete and steel and water, with towns and vil- lages knotting them into a network. Forests and orchards of fruit give way to somber mines of coal. The earth 4s carpeted for miles with waving corn. Cities and tall stacks of mills become thicker. ‘There is a broad belt of green pastures alive with dairy herds. ‘Then comes a great, throbbing city under @ pall of smoke, with humanity snuggling closer and climbing higher. Here acres of emerald parks inter- sperse drab-roofed squares, and final- ly a burst of graceful towers edges an inland sea. Every village, every hamlet, has its story, some in the dim past, others in the thriving present, ‘Traces of colonial days are few in Wlinols, and towns show true to type, as one rolls over. the smooth concrete highways. But each adds its mite of story, and there is no easier way to see them than by Jogging north. over the aptly named Meridian highway, through the center of the state, 385 miles from southern tip to northern border. From South to North. In the course of this journey the traveler will see the aspect of nature change as in few other states. In “Egypt"—s0 named by the ploncers decause of its fertility—pecans, cot ton, tobacco, magnolias, bald cypress, and lotus are growing: in the north sugar beets, hickory, tamarack, and forests of white pine brave the biting winter. Most of Kentucky and Vir- ginia are north of Cairo, while Boston fs farther south than Zion. In the south the frost is usually gone by the end of March; in the north it keeps the farmer guessing until May. ‘The proposed trip will be an easy one, for no other state has more miles of concrete roads. ‘The automobilist who starts his car in New York, heads across the continent to Seattle, down the Pacific const to Los Angeles, over the wide open spaces to New Or- Jeans, and then back through Rich- mond and Washington, will have cov- ered less than 8000 miles that are paved with cement concrete In Illinois. In one year more paved highway was added than the distance from Chicago to Portland, Maine, and 2,500 men and 10,000 horses were employed at the task. Cairo is both the southern tip and within a few miles of the lowest spot in Illinois, only 279 feet above sea level. It is a city rich n.mem- ories, There Gen. Ulysses 8.

He blamed Cairo, and Cairo has never forgiven him for what he wrote. Cairo a Transfer Point. Few of the graceful old river steam: ers remain, both rivers have been bridged, and Cairo lives in another age. It Is a transfer point between water and rail for the government barge line to New Orleans and, in winter, the northern terminal. A sin- gle tow of long, squat barges with a powerful tug can carry the grain pro @uced on 18,000 acres. They bring up the products of the Southern states and of distant Iands—sugar, coffee. bauxite, sulphur, burlap, sisal—and carry back the grain and manufactures of the Middle West. Like the pirogues and flatbouts from Mlinols, which 0 years ago drifted down the river with flour, smoked meat, and corn Juice “moonshine,” these steel barges plod eight miles an hour—no faster than Marquette paddied in his birch canoe. But the rattle of the electric truck has replaced the song of the roustabout, and one close-tied fleet of barges car- ries the freight of a dozen splashing river boats The highway leaves Cairo, curving through the Ozarks. Back in the hills, families are living in primitive lox cabins. “Egypt's” fields of cotton, which dare frost but escape the boll weevil, change around Anna into or- chards of apples, peaches, and pears and beds of asparagus and strawber ries, Beauty spots are preserved as state forests and parks.

As stated in our issue of Aug. 13, "22, with the issue of Aug 20, "32, ‘The Gazette entored upon its fiftieth 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 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 been js a matter of common knowledge the conntry 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 possiblo 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, has 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 political and other action, and “turned back" the ‘jim- crow Negro” who is a more treacher- ous 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- terest 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 less than all citizens, without refer- ence to class (race) or color, are en- titled to. When it comes’ to our citizen-rights, here in the North, we have been and always will be, un- alterably opposed to any “doctrine of surrender,” or conciliatory policy so insidiously preached, in this da3 and time, by “Jim-crow Negroes" and their fool-prejudiced white mas ters. The Gazette believes in de- manding for our people, in this sec- tion of the country at least, and in continuing to fight for, ALL that fs due all American citizens, under thé law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! It firm adherence to principle, thru al these years, together with its known accomplishments, are its best recom: mendations for continued and great er support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of th past forty-nine years—thousands 0 readers in all parts of the country from ocean to ocean and from. th Great Lakes to the Gulf—we hav only expressions of sincerest appre: ciation. There is, however, on thing we would ask of all onr read ers, at this time, and that is tha they urge their friends and acquaint ances to become subscribers of “Th Old Reliable” Gazette and in thi way assist it to materially increas its circulation and power for good For all you have done in the past we thank you, and again assure yot of our sincerest appreciation.

I was a reporter for your paper 40 years ago and at the same time secretary of the Onward Foraker club (of which you were president).

My Dear Old Friend, Harry:— “Running true to form", you will say—‘Never on time.” But such 1s 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 Rellable” Gazette has appeared on the streets of Cleveland for fitty years without ontside interference. May I extend 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 fought on opposite sides and we have fought side by side. But whatever the circumstance of con- tact, Iam sure there has always been that tie of respect and friendship, one for the other, that should at- tend all of us. As I look back and see the old land marks fading, one by one, and feel the lonesomeness that naturally creeps upon us in de- clining years, my 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 al- ways agreed with you, or that you have always been on the right side of things, but I de wish to be un- derstood ‘as saying that whatever opinion you have held on any mat- ter, it was an honest one! Laboring 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 pros- per, for the world has been better because you have lived in it.
