White, J. E. Hubbard and Harold T. Gassaway are to be candidates for the City Council in the 18th Ward, next year, to succeed Clayborne George who with the Hon. Harry E. Davis and others are to be candidates for municipal judge. L. L. Yancey would make an excellent candidate for the City Council, too, in the 18th Ward. O, BOY! but the councilmanic pot in all three wards, the 11th, the 17th and 18th are sure beginnings to boll in the city "The Blossom Tritches" are sure in for gruelling experiences, next year. Safety Director Frank J. Merrick on Monday accused Councilman Clayborne George, chairman of the City Council safety committee, of "shadow boxing" with the problem of rehabilitating the fire department. George indicated that the safety committee might be involved the repaint and the back back in service of one of the two city fire tugs which were abandoned last June. "You're just shadow boxing with this situation," Merrick said hotly to George. "Why didn't you give us the money to improve the fire department when you had a chance? I'm not going to put either of the tugs back in service unless they have new boilers." George may have been shadow-boxing, alright. He is so weak and supine, as a rule, that it is a very generally known condition as far as he is concerned. But there can be no doubt in anyone's mind, who knows the safety director a little bit, as to what he was trying to do. George ought, Merrick said, to doubt himself, if he had the backbone. The Rounder and many others would certainly Hice to see him try it, anyhow. While the city is endeavoring to economize and getting deeper in the financial hole, daily Merrick wants many thousands of dollars spent for new things (fire boats, etc.) which are not absolutely necessary at this time, and is trying to bluff and bulldoze Chairman George and the City Council safety committee into recommending their purchase by the Council. "Call his hand," Clayborne! PASTOR'S ARREST ORDERED. Charged With Having Misused $300 of the Church's Money—Used It as Down-payment on an Automobile. Rev. J. Albert Sterrett, age 45, former pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church, is charged with having "gone North" with $300 of the church's money, given him to deliver to a church conference at Steubenville in September, 1930. Atty. Perry B. Jackson says that Sterrett used the money as a down-payment on an automobile. He also says Sterrett has gone to Baltimore. Undertaker Elmer Boyd swore to the warrant charging him with taking the money, and P. W. Lemon, another trustee of the church, corroborated Boyd's charge. Assist. Co. Prosecutor Norman S. Minor, to whom Jackson made this complaint, notified the police to arrest Sterrett who claims the church is financially indebted to him. Thos. Nettles, age 17, Atlantic City N. J., high school student, last week won first prize, a $650 platinum watch, with his adventure story.

Seldom, in recent years, has there been an Episcopal utterance, along the color-line so refreshing and heartening as that of Bishop Manning of New York in the congregation in the Church of God. We wrote him immediately thanking him for his noble stand. The good bishop promptly responded: "Many thanks for your letter. I especially value this message from "To the Editor—Bishop Manning's position in the trouble at All Souls church, New York, is to becommended most highly. We need more Catholic minded men like him, both bishops and priests, in the American church. For therein segregation of white and colored seems to be the order of the day, and also has been carried to the so-called possessions of bishops and priests. The possessions never had colored congregations, except dissenting chapels, the white and colored people worshiped together. "I was born in the West Indies of English parents, and I never heard of a colored church. My "mammmy" took her communion beside my mother, and sat in the family pew. But wherever the American flag flies today that is all changed; the colored people must have their own places of worship. I tried recently to get a nice young colored woman into one of the Sisterhoods; I failed; but the colored is by no means inferior to the white race. Given a chance and one will and just as refined and cultured people among the dark brethren of the white folk But they are so immoral! We taught them their morals! We white people—and not merely the "white trash" of our race, but presumably the genteel white men. "The colored race has not one single vice that is not to be found among us white people; and the most degrading of the vices of the former have been their heritage from their contact with the latter. I think Fashion has such a scrap on his hands; and I sincerely hope that he sticks to his guns and shoots to kill. I am thankful every day of my life, that I was promoted to the cure of colored people in this city of Philadelphia. I am glad to call them Brethren in the flesh as well as in the Lord. With God it is not the color of the skin that makes a man acceptable to Him; and many of them are black, and many a colored face is white. His eyes." —The Church Advocate, Rev Geo. F. Bragg, Jr., editor, Baltimore, Md. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Clarence Muse, actor at Hollywood, Calif., has played in 20 pictures in a year, and found time to write a book and compose a best-selling song.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WHEN THE READJUSTMENT COMES, AS IT SURELY MUST AND WILL, AND SOON? What We Must Do to Get Recognition Our People Are Entitled to—Unselfish Leadership, the First Need. (Special to The Gazette.) In the readmission of the Republican party it is of interest to know what part the colored voters of America will play. The majority of the young colored voters are apparently indifferent and in fact, if the ordinary expressions are to be regarded as an attitude, they are hostile. Very often one heart in Staff. If the Abraham Lincoln in Staff "fault" they are ungrateful and irreverent. The youth of this land, colored white and what not, cannot pay Abraham Lincoln for what he did in freeing a portion and in preserving the Union for all. True, the colored youth is no more obligated to support Abraham Lincoln's party than the white youth, for had the Union dissolved there would have been no country and Lincoln not unanimated the threat that they have been any Negro freedom. However in politics all groups and races should plan for their best interests. One thing colored voters had better understand now and that is all any set of voters get out of political parties they get by compact organization and fight for their rights by the best handling of their voting strength. As a single group outside of the Anglo-Saxon, the Negro is the largest. But this group gets the least out of politics. The reasons for this are, Negroes do not know what they know the value of group-political organization and lastly, they are laboring under the impression that political parties desire to give them something. To be organized, does not mean that all Negroes should be in one party, but in whatever party the colored voters may be participating, their aim should be the best interest of their entire group without regard to party affiliations. The Jews, that are about half as numerous as the Negro population of this country, are supreme court judges, judges and office workers in almost every department of the government, national, state and local. This is true with the Irish. The Italian is fast assuming the same role. There are handicaps so far as colored voters are concerned and they arise "Hot Stuff" Convicted and Fined Policy Game Seems on the Skids Three of the "Four Kings" Caught. John B. ("Hot Stuff") Johnson was convicted of operating a policy game, last week Thursday, and Municipal Judge Frank S. Day fined him $200 and costs. It was the first time one of the "Big Four," policy kings had been convicted of a policy offense. "Hot Stuff" is the third of the Big Four, however, to come out the loser in a recent court case. Willie Richardson is under sentence to the Ohio Penitentiary for perjury in connection with a grand jury investigation of a gun battle. Rufus Jones is under 4-year sentence to a federal penitentiary, with a $10,000 fine, for evading the federal income taxes. Frank Hoge (white) is the only lottery king still without the legal Johnson was found guilty of promoting a scheme of chance at 2374 E. 57th St., on Sept. 7. Police captured him when his trousers caught on a fence in his flight. He was in court, last week, with his arm in a sling, recovering from wounds received. Oct. 17, when he was shot by gangsters who were at the height of their revenge, they the them 40 brighten up, cut them out had been taking from the policy game here for the last year. Councilman George had "Hot Stuff"'s case. Our local lawyers have been losing a lot of cases in the last year or two, particularly this year. Have you noticed it? A Well-Earned Tribute Damon Runyon (white), the well-known sport-writer, says "Kid Chocolate" showed, in his recent fight with Fidal La Barba, that he "rates with the ring's best in courage and fighting ability"; that the "Kid demonstrated that he is one of the puffistic greats," and that "there's mighty few of them around now, but there are doubtfuls of the champ's class. Over 200 winning fights in the last few years prove this beyond all question or doubt. VIII. CASEVEE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest body circulation among those African-Americans, double that of any other newspaper publication of this or any other state, and comparable in size and influence. It ranks as one of the largest newspapers of the country in the interest of the American people. AN BE REPUBLICAN PARTY JUSTMENT COMES, AS IT AND WILL, AND SOON? It Recognition Our People Are inselfish Leadership, First Need. principally from sectional traditions and prejudices. These prejudices Negroes have never united to fight. The south has not only prevented Negroes from properly exercising and benefiting from the franchise, but it has educated them and is still educating them by force, to accept the policy that Negroes should leave the government of the south to white men. In putting this policy over, they tolerate certain classes of Negroes and occupate with them in the office and by so doing use these Negroes with their positions to promote the propaganda of "Negro inferiority" and "white superiority." Both political parties do not prefer colored men who are just men and thinkers, like all other men, but they prefer the Negro that is pliable and acts out his acceptance of "white supremacy." White men of the type of Negroes, that are being used by both political parties to maintain Negro subordination and non-participation in politics, would not be tolerated in the office and by so doing leaders for white groups. We are迫于 halliway but we do adhere and appreciate a man, who in any walk of life will contend for what is rightfully his and will see to it that his group receives the same consideration he receives. The future leadership of colored voters must be chosen by them and the qualification entitling them to be chosen, is their unreserved dedication to the best interests of the people they represent. The little body of office-holding Negroes, who have enjoyed their offices and have not been worth a penny so far as the welfare and promotion of the Negro is concerned, must be released from background and scrapheap. There is much understanding by Negroes without regard to parties. After this understanding, then let Negroes like other groups vote as they feel their best interests demand and cease the foolish habit of getting angry with every colored voter that does not vote or think as they do. In the meantime, those of our group who supported the Democratic party and Mr. Roosevelt, should get busy and make this administration a benefit to the entire colored group or know the reason why they are prevented from so doing. REFUSED TO "TALK" When Taken Before the County Grand Jury—Rufus Jones Had "Nothing to Tell Them." Rufus Jones surrendered. Saturday, to federal authorities after his motion for a new trial had been denied. He was later taken to county jail for the week-end, and served with a subpena calling for his appearance. Monday, before the grand jury, where he was questioned, the alleged statement that he paid $72,000 graft to policemen for "protection." Jones did not tell the grand jury anything "because," he said, "I didn't have nothing to tell them." Asked if he had "put anybody on the spot" in the testimony, he replied: "No, sir. Rufus Jones don't put no one on the spot. He takes it right on the chin himself. I told him I never paid any graft, and I couldn't tell them who my policy writers were because I knew them only by numbers." Jones is in county jail waiting to be taken to the government penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., to which he has been sentenced for four years. BEST LUNCH OR MEAL!

Bishop Manning, head of the Protestant Episcopal church in New York State, is a wonderful man, in this day and time. He is in a class with Father J. M. Gillis, editor of the Catholic World; Dr. Wm. T. Ellis, an English clergyman, and a few other leaders (white). J. Louis Engdahl (deceased), as national chairman of the International Labor Defense, with Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two of the Scottsboro, Ala. boy-victims, did a wonderful work in acquainting European countries with the true condition in this country as regards lynch-murder and other barbaric mistreatment of Afro-Americans. --- An effort is being made to have a Congressional investigation into labor conditions on flood control projects on the lower Mississippi River, where our workers are beaten and otherwise abused as well as being grossly discriminated against in the matter of pay for their labor. We sincerely trust that the U. S. Senate resolution to bring about such an investigation, includes the Hoover Dam, and will be adopted promptly. Because of the increased volume of mail during the holiday season, Postmaster Henry A. Taylor urges all to "shop now and mail early for early delivery." On Dec. 25 and 26, no ordinary mail will be delivered, only special delivery. To insure delivery of gifts and greetings before Christmas, mail them between Dec. 16 and 19. A special appeal is made to pack fragile articles carefully and mark them "fragile"; insure parcels, apply sufficient postage on letters and register those containing money. Address plainly and put return address on all. Now that the election is over, possibly Postmaster General Walter F Brown (of Toledo, Ohio) will be willing to explain to the near 200,000 Afro-American voters in this state why he preferred as "delegates" half-baked "illy-white" Republicans (?) of the South, nominated in rump conventions which barred the Afro-American, to the regularly nominated Afro-American and white Republican delegates to the National convention which renominated President Hoover. He might also explain, if he can, his statement, just prior to the last Chicago Republican National convention, to Mrs. George Williams of Georgia, to the effect that she would help the Republican cause most by resigning her position as a member of the National committee. This because of her color and race-connection. We had always regarded Mr. Brown as a Republican of "the old school" for whom it would be simply impossible to do and say the things referred to in the foregoing. OUR CITY HALL "BOY SCOUTS." The factories, the very back-bone of this community, have started to move out of the city, which if it continues will leave Cleveland in the same position as the deserted boom towns in the South and West. Without factories Cleveland cannot exist. Placing the administration of this great city in the hands of the "Boy Scouts" (Democrats) at City Hall means just one thing and that is ruination unless we get rid of them just as soon as possible. A recall might stop or halt the exodus of business plants from the city. If something is not soon done the Republican party may only have a wreck, of what was once the fifth city, to salvage a year hence. All of which is but a bitter realization of the utter failure of the Democratic city administration. Taxes mounting daily, service we are entitled to at its very worst, streets in a miserable city, city workers' wages cut, thousands of people out of work, hungry and homeless, racketeers preying (unmolested) even on small shops and business places, and the entire city machinery going to wreck, form a beautiful (?) picture to look at during this Xmas season. Well the famous football (bench) player (quoting Peter Witt) of Notre Dame, Cleveland's young, inexperienced and loquacious mayor (Dem.) is still "carrying the ball—on the bench." Prime Sport News Gains Kayoes Mauer. Manchester, England. — Larry Gains of Toronto, Afro-Canadian holder of the British Empire heavyweight championship, who won a bout from Carnera, some months ago, knocked out Michel Maurer of Germany in the fourth round of their boxing match here. Monday evening, He did the same thing, several years ago, for Max Schmeling, former heavyweight champ. Slaughter to Meet Jones? Indianapolis, Ind.-Sammy Slaughter, as a result of his recent knockout victory over Paul Pirrone at Cleveland, is in line for a bout here with "Gorilla" Jones of Akron, O., former world middleweight champion. The Indiana state commission has asked the National Boxing Association to recognize the bout as being for the U. S. middleweight title. Godfrey Floors Cobb Twice. Philadelphia, Pa. — George Godfrey, of Lieperville, Pa., took a ten-round decision from Walter Cobb (white) of New York, Monday night, Godfrey's right sent Cobb, weighing 225, to the canvas for a one-count in the second and for nine in the eighth. It is reported that the backers of Godfrey have offered "Champ" Jack Sharkey $100,000 to defend his title against big George. Winston Lost. This Time. Boston, Mass. — Ernie Schaaf (white) knocked out Unknown Winston, of Hartford, Conn., in the sixth of a scheduled twelve-round bout for the New England heavyweight title before 10,000 spectators. Monday night, here in the Arena, Schaaf weighed 210 and Winston, his most recent conqueror, was 25 pounds lighter. New York City.—In the greatest championship battle between little men that has been seen in Madison Square Garden in years, Eligio Sardinia, better known as "Kid Chocolate," Afro-Cuban, successfully defended his featherweight championship title against Fidel La Barba of California, an Italian. The bout went the full fifteen rounds. At the finish, Referee Willie Lewis, the old welterweight, called it a draw. The judges, Sam Austin and Eddie Farrell, voted "Chocolate" the winner, while 15,000 men and women fighters cheered. The "Keed" is popular here because of his many victories. When he walked over to La Barba's corner and shook his hand there was an extra rousing cheer by the thousands in attendance. The "Kid" and La Barba holding as the clang of the fist outed out above the yelling of the excited crowd and shouted undoubtedly the greatest fighter in his class and entitled to the title he holds. This victory, over La Barba, is his second out of three contests. La Barba left the ring with a cut over his left eye, and another cut on his left cheek. "Chocolate" and La Barba earned their first pennies in selling newspapers—La Barba in Los Angeles, Cal., and "Chocolate" in Havana, Cuba. BISHOP JONES LEFT $105,000 Wilberforce, O.—Mrs. Augustus E. Jones, widow of the late Bishop Joshua H. Jones, who died here, Nov. 29 has made application to the Probate Court of this (Greene) County to be appointed administrix of the estate, the estimated value of which is $105,000, including personal property worth $30,000 and real estate on which a valuation of $75,000 is placed. A careful search has failed to reveal a will. The widow, three sons and one daughter survive the deceased. Let everyone, whether he be a principal of a school, a pastor of a church, the chairman of a civic group, or just a private individual who gives a Christmas to anyone, report that promptly to his local branch of the Associated Charities or to Holiday Clearing House, MAIN 8560. If all will do this, no family will get a second or third basket, for the Holiday Clearing House makes this duplication impossible. Thus many more deserving families will know the joy of a Merry Christmas and take renewed hope for a happy New Year.

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.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty 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 hundred 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. 'HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT.' My ear is pained. My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as by axe That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. THE GLORY OF WOMAN LIES IN HER HAIR. LONG,SOFT AND FLUFFY WITH SILKEN SHEEN.

For the first time the city will possess a highway connection with the rich and populous trans-bay ‘country. 3 San Francisco stands on a penin- sula, North and east of It is the great harbor; to the west, the Pacific. So most travelers reach it by water. Its voice Is the hoarse blast of ferryboats fon the hay. The sound never ceases. Counting commuters, nearly 55,000,- 000 people a year pass through the vast Ferry building at the foot_of Market street, a city within itself. ‘The Proposed bridge, for which $62,000, 000 has been advanced by the gov- ernment, will be used by many who now ride ferryboats. Only 88 years azo, when gold-mad human hordes swept across the prairies to San Francisco, it was an infant Mexican village. ‘Today it is a great metropolis with 635,000 inhab- itanta, bartering with Alnska, Japan, China, the Philippines, India and Aus- tralia. Its vast panoramic Embarcadero, or water front, fairly smells of China tea, silks, straw mats, Alaska fish, Manila hemp, coconnts, pineapples, raw suzar, Singapore rubber, and cof- fee from Latin America. The ernde adobe pueblo, where “Boston boats” first came to trade arms, tools, trin- kets and enlico for the hides and tal- low of Mexican ranchers, has become today onr key port on the Pacific. A erent city had to rise here, for the same reasons that New York grew at the Hndson's mouth, Rio de Jane:ro and Sydney and Hong Kong on their great harbors, Shanzhal on the Yangtze, and Istanbul by the Golden Horn. ‘This vast haven inside the Golden Gate affords such an ideal site for a busy international city that, as fone writer says, If San Francisco ald not alrendy exist men would at once start building it. ‘Not only In its eventful growth, but fn the story of {ts very beginnings, you find San Francisco legitimately a child of the sea. In early days sea paths were the easiest way to this const. Drake Near There in 1579, By sea Sir Francis Drake came, on that ploneer world cruise of 1579. It must have been fogzy even then; for he missed the Golden Gate to land a bit north, at what Is now Drakes bay. Claiming the country for his queen, naming it New Albion, and celebrating the first Christian service In what to- @ay tx California, Drake sated away. ‘Nearly two centuries passed. Still no white man had seen the Golden Gate. Inland from it were Digger Indians, living precariously on roots, rats, bugs, and snakes, often starving in a region now s0 rich in milk and honey that it exports food to much of the civilized world. But down In Mexico things were happening—events of profound portent to future California and San Fran- disco, Cortez had seized the realm of Montezuma. Slowly, for genera- tions afterwards, the gold-hungry Spaniards drifted to the northwest, some by sea, many through what Is Arizona now, and thus up this coast. ‘With them came the priests, carrying the Cross to the Indians. Often It was a contest to see whether a priest could baptize an Indian before the Indian could slay the priest. Halting: ly they advanced, but stubbornly. In time the missions, orchards, and frrigated farms of the padres were scattered along the meandering trail from Guadalajara up to San Diexo— and finally to the Golden Gate itself. ‘Along thin same Camino Real, or “Royal Road,” flanked today by golf clubs and “hot-dog” stands, came Don Gaspar de Portola, governor of Raja California, seeking s hay called Mon- terey. “Royal Road” they called tt, ‘euphemistieatly ; but what Don Gaspar actually followed then was a fatat trall fading into fills and brush. Lost, floundering, he stumbled upon ‘2 magnificent landlocked harbor, And he named it San Francisco. That was October 81, 1709. How the City Grew. ‘As it foreshadowing the liberal spirit of the city, San Francisco itself was founded in 177¢—the same year that also made July Fourth the na- tion's birthday. ft was a Spanish captain, Juan Bautista de Anza, who Jai it out and set the pattern for later “realtors.” ‘Sprawling idly by the bay, and first named Yerba Buona, Anza’s town site saw things come to pass that molded, through the years, the character of the city: the growth of the vast huciendas, huge herds, _bullfights, festas, burning Judas in effigy, church processions, rodeos and swaggering Vaqueros In such feats of horseman- ship as “loping” full speed with a tray of filled wine glasses, spilling none, More priests and colonists from Mexico, with new frults, food plants, and grains, all to multiply eventually into astounding productivity. By 1806, Russian trappers, hunting sea otters in the kelp beds, drift down from Sitka. Agents of the tsar bulld 8 fort at Bodega, up the coast, coloniz- ing there, with smooth Intrigue, to make Alta California part of the Itus sian empire. Shrewd New England traders, on three-year cruises to Canton via Cali- fornia, call here to barter. ‘Their trade goods, wrote Dana In his “two Years Before the Mast,” included ‘spirits, teas, coffees, suzars, spices, hardware, crockery, clothing, boots ‘and shoes from Lynn, calicoes from Lowell, cart. wheels from England, capes, shawls, Jewelry and combs. With these they paid for hides, tallow and furs. California hides early gave “New England a monopoly in the boot and shoe-making trades, And the furs taken from here to Canton, then a world market, brought _ prodigious profits, foundiyg many Boston for ‘tunes. Bearded and buck-skinned Missouri and Kentucky men begin triekling in, ‘Then the Hudson's Bay compans, com Ing to build a fur post here; English navy merchant ships, and more moves on the checkboard of destiny, with a plan now to make this a British colony. With the 1820's comes the end of Spanish rule. A new flag, the Mexi- can, waving now over San Francisco. Intrigues Increase as years pass; dis- putes arise between foreigners and natives, and justice grows blinder. But fs a long walk to Mexico, seat of power. And one-legged Santa Anna has graver problems nearer home— ‘and In Texas. ‘Annexation and Gold, War with Mesico. Back In Wash- ington sits President Polk, the reso- Inte. Scott, Doniphan, and Zachary ‘Taylor are in Mexico; Fremont, Kearny, and Kit Carson in California, Into the little Plaza of San Francisco come the United States sallors to run up the American flag. California is annexed, 1848, Barely 900 people in the village then; a newspaper, a school, and two ramshackle wooden wharves. But soon Marshall found gold near Sut- ters mill, It was the richest strike In history. With thelr fackknives men gouged chunks of pure gold from hill- Side seams. Seven Americans, with the help of Indians, “took out 275 pounds of gold in a little more than six weeks... . Two men In seven Gays obtained $17,000 from a trench a few feet wide.” ‘The news spread east. Polk com- mented on the find In a message to congress. No such excitement had ever swept the nation, By 1849 the whole world seemed gold mad. On every continent men talked of Call- fornia, and in ever-increasing thou- sands they moved on San Francisco. Tn that year 20 American vessels reached California, During three weeks, in the spring of ‘49, nearly 18000 people crossed the Missourt river, westward hound. Rough, Boisterous Times. Steerage tekets via Panama sold for $1,000, Thousands went this way ; another army around the Horn; others faeross Nicaragua or Mexico. | Death took frightful toll, especially among those crossing the western deserts. Imagine San Francisco then, Gold crazy. Off on the treasure hunt ‘months ahend of eastern hordes. Its homes, cows, chickens, gardens, goods {in stores—all were deserted. At ex- cltement’s height even the sailors quit arriving ships to race for the gold fields, till a vast ghost flect of silent vessels lay idle and abandoned in the bay. ‘hen, suddenly, the tide turned. icantly, this ‘period, and not the [Simntah, marked the citys real Degtn- ‘ning.

Little tight caps set straight on the head are smart, Paris layishes blue fox furs de luxe on evening modes. Braided epaulet and shoulder or- naments trim lastest suits. Slashed skirts over contrasting petticoats are advance style. Fashion is playing up evening hats with the new dinner type of dress. Shirrings and Ruffles Are Much in Evidence Shirrings, ght ttle ruffles and deep gathers are much In evidence. ‘They appear, without stint, on many new evening frocks. Dressmakers choose soft sheer miiterial for the especial purpose of using many gath- ers and frills without adding much to one’s bulk. Chiffon, georgette and other related materials, which lend themselves to this sort of treatment, are great favo- rites right now. They are seen less often in plain colors than In prints, but the prints in favor are seldom the customary flower and leat desizns. ‘Tiny dots, immense coin dots, plaids and checks are among the popular patterns. Ease of Wearability Features New Styles ‘The clothes that Paris is making for 1933 are distinctly unlike any ever done before, Designers have discarded, for the most part, any “period” ideas in the planning of these new costumes, and are going in for materials and lines which serve two purposes—the one a practical one, the other an effort to achieve the ultimate of beauty. ‘The practical angle is especially tm: portant In the new clothes.

SSS iS IT ANY USE TO CON- | ‘TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible mem- bers 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 discrimina- tion, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and ate winning Decause they will die rather than eubmit.

Some World-Wide Aspects of the “Races Problem,” as Seen by a Man Who Has Been Called a “Foreign Devil.” (OAR REE rec ETT ee “Yang. Weeyt _ tog ee “Foreign devil! Foreign devil!” Often the children and youths of Chinese villages called this term of opprobrium after me, as I traveled thru the interior of China, 25 years ago. Men, too, muttered it under thelr breath as'I passed. It was a iew exper ence for one who had all his life assumed that the Anglo-Sax- ‘ons are a superior race. To be de- ised and hooted by scions of a far older people set one’s brain to work- ng. In Japan the people were too lite for any such rudeness; yet fre- quently T caught glimpses of their ‘oncealed sense of superiority. And I saw, in museums, the old warning hoards, which stood on the highways of Japan less than a century ago, predict ng a dire fate for foreigners, And even for the foreign God, should they trespass upon Japan's proud oll. Even so, 1 was shocked when a Henares bazar keeper waved me away from his wares, lest I pollute them by the touch of an uneaste foreigner. Nor did I relish any the more easily the black looks and curses of the haughty Moslems in El Azhar, who Misdainfully spat as I passed. 1 was amused, yet uncomfortably so, to hoar the Chinese explanation of why white people bathe so often—their hodios shed a disagreeable odor, which they are trying, unsuccessfully, to remove! Doos God Speak English! Hitherto I had assumed that “the race question” waa merely the rela- tionship between Negroes and whites. Now | know that it is a worldwide problem; with the superior attitude by no means confined to Caucasians, So any approach to this subject, made newly acute by the closer knitting together of all peoples in Internation- al relationships, should be broadly based, with wide views. Recently a missionary on furlough reminded me of an address I mado several years ago in Persia, wherein I confessed that Iwas a grown man before ever I realized that God was not wholly in English-speaking God. It took a hearing of Christian prayers in many tongues to put firmly into my mind the realization that the language of heaven js not my mother-tongue; ind that, long centuries before there was an England, God was hearing the words of mankind in languages now forgotten, Ours is a polyglot Goa. Jesus, « Dark-Skinned Man. Art's familiar pictures of a Nordic Jesus abets the idea that of course He was one of us. In truth, though, Jeous was a dark-skinned Syrian Jew. (Some Jews, by the way, like those from the Yemen, are almost black). His disciples were dusky orientals, such as one sees today on the roads and in the fields of Palestine. They were of the type which our immigra- Hon laws now exclude from our coun- try. ‘This smple historical and geo- sraphical fact affords a good starting voint for any consideration of the race question. It leads on naturally to that other significant fact, that there is no color line in Christianity. ‘The International Sunday Schoo! Lesson for Dec. 4 is “Living With People of Other Races.""—Luke 10:20-27; John 4:5-10; Acts 10:30-35. On my first trip around the world, in 1906-7, I learned that there are Christian saints of all colors and in all nations. Anybody who thinks Christianity is a white man's faith, or a religion for the west, is simply ignorant. It arose in the orient; and today is producing its characteristic fruits among all races. Indeed, there are many who believe that the Bible is more easily and completely under- stood by orlentals than by occident- als, They cite the Korean aptitude for the Scriptures; the Indian Chris- tion mystics; the African evangelists and the Chinese Christian heroes. ‘The Oneness of All. “Mother! Mother! There are peo- ple beyond the mountain!” cried a European peasant child, as he saw the first stranger enter their secluded valley. That there are “people be- youd the mountain” is one of the big primary lessons to be learned by every dweller in the modern world. More than that: nobody is truly edu- cated who does not understand that all people everywhere are essentially alike in their human nature. They are animated by the same impulse. seek the same fundamental goals and display substantially the same char- acteristics. A gentieman is as much a gentieman in China as in London— if not more so. “The colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady Are sisters under the skin.” Shylock’s defense of the Jew in “The Merchant of Venice” has gen- eral application. This universal hu- man similarity is revealed. in the present depression by an internation- al interdependence which is one of the major messages of the calamity. The whole earth is suffering from a common affliction. We are members of one body, “a commonwealth of common woe.” This crisis will not end for any of us until it has ende¢ for all of us. There are no longer any hermit nations. In a most practica? sense, we are all members one of another, regardless of color, clime or creed. The Tolerant Teacher. Jesus was without race prejudice. One of His best stories, which caused haughty hearers, intolerant in their national pride, to gnash their teeth See en: ee eee eee eee ber of a despised people in whose veins flowed alien blood, who was the good neighbor to a Jew who had fallen among thieves. The Pharisees could not endure seeing a Samaritan made a hero. They regarded the tell- ing of that story as a reflection upon the national and religious loyalty of Jesus. Avain Jesus figures as One above racial pettiness and prejudice, in the second passage of the present lesson text, when He held patient converse with a flippant, flirtatious Samaritan woman. His own diciples marveled at His tolerance. Not only @id Jesus recognize the woman, but to her, unworthy as she was, He un- folded’ the mighty truth that God is above all forms and creeds, above all prejudices and practices and place-associations — a Spirit, who must be worshipped in spirit and in truth. It was hard for the followers of Christ to rise to His viewpoint. They were “100 per centers.” They could not easily grasp the truth of the comprehensiveness of Christian- ity. It took a miraculous vision to break through Peter's prejudices so ‘that he was willing to evangelize the Roman centurion, Cornelius—tho on his part, as a Roman, Cornelius had an inherited contempt for the Jews. Out of that episode came Peter's great pronouncement:—“Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteous- ness, fs accepted with Him." Severest of all the struggles of the early church was this one between the Isolationists and the Inclusionists, The latter one, because the teaching and spirit of Jesus was with them. That is why we have the Gospel to- day. In that same spirit we must live as brothers with all races, recogniz- Ing them as .being like ‘ourselves, common children with the one Fa- ther. ‘The Negroes’ Aspiration. We may not forget that it was Simon the Black—Simon of Cyrene —who hore the cross of the over- whelmed Jesus on the road to Calva- ry. And it was a Bible-reading black man, the Ethiopian eunuch, who was baptized by Philip the Evangelist. For generations the Christian church had its stronghold in north Africa, ‘The genius of the Negro for religion —which is a social reassurance in these days of Communist propaganda —Is expressed in a poem which has been sent to me as "The National Hymn of Afro-Americans “by Mr. James Weldon Johnson. I quote the last stanza: “God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, ‘Thou who hast brought us thus far ‘on the way; ‘Thou who hast by Thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray; Lest our feet stray from the places our God, Where we met Thee, Lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, We forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, ‘True to our God, ‘True to our native land.” WANTED REAL COUNCILMEN. ‘The Central Ave. car-line runs thru the heart of the most thickly populated section of Cleveland and where the great bulk of our people of the city are located. The two car- Hines on the east side of the city, that carry their passengers to the square, the stadium and the coun- ty court-house, pass thru the north- ern third of the city. The other two-thirds of Cleveland’s east side side have no such service. This part of the city is its most thickly popu- lated section. The three “Negro” councilmen and nearly all of their constituents, especially those of color, reside in it, and yet the Central Ave. line, which gives the worst ser- vice of any street-car line in Cleve- land, has its western terminus near- ly a half mile from the public square, the center of the city. A few years ago, this carline, according to an annual report of the Cleveland Rail- way Co. was the third best-paying line in the city. By curtailing the service since that time, the company has succeeded in driving so much of the Central Ave. car-line patron- age to the Cedar Ave. and Scovill Avo. lines that it has been trying ‘© get the consent of the City Coun- oil to take the cars off the avenue and discontinue the 16 minute serv- ice now given, absolutely the worst in the city.
