SAXOPHONE ON WHAT'S DOING Last week Thursday evening, a meeting promoted by the Independent Voters League, nearly all white was held at Spiral's hall, E. 38th St and Scovill Ave., to promote the independent candidacy of Arthur C. Clark for the council in the 12th Ward in opposition to the candidacy of our good friend, Councilman Herman H. Finkle. Mose Dixon presided and ex-mayor of Miles Heights Village, Arthur Johnston, one of Councilman Leroy Bundy's lieutenants, made the principal talk followed by Chas. Grissom (white), sponsor of the Independent Voters League, Selmo C. Glenn and others. In his talk Mr. Grissom assailed Mr. Maurice Maschke,头头 of the local Republican organization. He said, The Rounder feels it will not be difficult for any candidate to prognosticate the finish of the Clark candidacy. If memory serves us correctly, it was Johndo who accompanied Bundy down the state to Columbus during the state primary campaign, last year, when the financial deal with Secretary of State Clarence Brown's state headquarters was affected that was to insure the council's support of the Brown candidacy as against that of David S. Ingalls, the Republican organization's candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. It is said that Selmo C. Glenn "ducked" the Weaver mass meeting, Sunday afternoon, to go to St. James' Forum where he was turned down flat by the pastor when he attempted to ask Mayor Miller, the speaker of the day, a question. Glenn, who was the pastor in the Weaver case and only stopped in Lane church en route to St. James. While in a barber shop out Central Ave., one day last week, The Rounder heard a well-known member of the race, who lived for many years at the nation's capital, telling the following which proved exceptionally interesting in view of the recent Ohio Supreme Court decision in the Doris Weaver case; "I was in Washington, D. C., some years ago," he said, "when the N. A. A. C. P. held a national meeting there. One of the national officers (Major J. E. Spingarn) told how a case touching the rights of the race had been carried thru the courts all the way from Oklahoma to the U. S. Supreme Court by 'Negro' lawyers. There they invoked the assistance of the N. A. A. C. P. which placed the matter before Woodford Store, president of the N. A. C. P. time and an eminent Boston jurist known throutout the country whose fee for handling a case in the U. S. Supreme Court was $10,000. Mr. Story, after looking over the papers in the case, told our attorneys from Oklahoma that they didn't have any case and to go back home and to start again with a new subject, explaining how and what to do, and telling the N. A. A. C. P. that when it reached the U. S. Supreme Court he would argue the case if necessary and not charge our people a cent for so doing. Our attorneys from Oklahoma would not do as told by Mr. Storey but went on to argue that the Supreme Court with their use which was promptly thrown out by that unjust body. A case was then started in Oklahoma as Mr. Storey had suggested, and carried thru the courts to Washington, D. C., where it was turned over to him, 'dressed up' on the stationery of his well-known firm of lawyers and filed in the U. S. Supreme Court. He never even had to go in court, for the decision in his favor was rendered during his absence WEAVER CASE MASS MEETING! Addressed by Messrs. White, Davis, the Editor of The Gazette, Councilman George and Miss Weaver—The Church-Half-Filled. Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church was about half-filled Sunday afternoon, with loyal members of the race who have a heart interest in the Weaver-Ohio State University damus case court, in the state supreme court. The speakers were Miss Doris Weaver, Chas. W. White, one of the several Afro-American attorneys for Miss Weaver, a former student of the university who was discriminated against by being re- M. Miss Doris Weckfus used the right to occupy the Home Economics building at the university grounds in common with the students of the various other races of the university therein; Hon Harry E. Davis, president of the city civil service commission, and the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, Councilman Clayborne George made an appeal for funds to seek a reopening of the case in the state supreme court. The sum of $50 was raised. The high spot of Miss Weaver's address was the statement that "there would be no such problem at Ohio State University if left to the students. They do not endorse discrimination." Atty. White discussed the case at length, saying that the court's decision was based on statutes 65 years old; also that that decision practically nullified legislation, court decisions and constitutional provisions for the protection of our citizenization. The O. A. C. P.'s explanation with the case and the case upon our people's lack of proper interest in legal and other matters for their rights and privileges. The editor of The Gazette elaborated upon this phase of Mr. Davis' speech by recounting his experiences in a number of like battles in Cleveland, and elsewhere in Ohio, in the past five years and the impressed the fact that unless there was immediate change in our attitude, the loss of rights and privileges in the future would be triple what they have been in the last 25 years, and that is a plenty. Miss Weaver in recent weeks has been graduated from O. S. U. without the practical experience in home economics she was entitled to and must have only secured by residence in the Home Management House of the university, has just lost an opportunity to teach in Texas because of her lack of this practical knowledge. The N. A. A. C. P. now has under consideration the matter of carrying the case to the U. S. Supreme Court. Near the close of the meeting the following resolution, introduced by Mr. Edward Mitchell of Olive Ct., was unanimously adopted: We, representing the Colored People of Cleveland, Ohio, in mass emsemblage at Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church, this the 26th day of March, 1933, in protestation against a certain unlawful discriminatory act of Ohio State University government, wish to state that there is another group, not so heterogeneous in nature as ours and differing somewhat in religious non-essentials, yet altruistic ethologists say both constitute one race, which suffers unjust and sometimes inhuman treatment from this terror, race prejudice; We wish also to extend our sympathy to the Jewish people of Germany whose suffering is only an offspring of ours. from the same. This shows the absolute need of at least one outstanding attorney, who has the respect of the court, to head all of our cases in supreme courts whether state or federal." The lesson to be learned from the foregoing is that, however much we may dislike to do so, we cannot afford to go into the supreme court of any state or the Supreme Court of the United States without an OUTSTANING legal representative, preferably a former member of the court or an attorney of state supreme court or U. S. Supreme Court "size," regardless of his racial connection. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENT A NATIONAL "LEADER" WHO PREACHES WHOLESALE SEGREGATION. The Question of Intermarriage—The "Jim Crow Leader" in the South and in the North—Debauchery of Young Girls! The black race in America, in spite of all protestations to the contrary, is still a leaderless race. In spite of all the talk about leadership—all the jockeying for positions at the top of the ladder—in spite of all the shouting and all the tumult, the sad truth remains that the tumult, the sad truth by arbitrary laws and social traditions into the same valley of racial hatreds and animosities, are without a Moses to lead them to the top of the hill and to safety. He talks of world peace and of international problems. He talks of freedom in the midst of slavery. He speaks of justice to the peasant, the serf and the coolie in China, but forgets that injustice surrounds him in his native state. He is a missionary to the world for world peace when he knows that there is no peace in his own yard. This leader and his sentiments would be unimportant if they were alone. But they are not—they are legion. Everywhere we We sadly come to this conclusion after reading a speech by a national "leader" of the race in which he made the statement that "We Negroes do not want to marry white people. We are content to live among ourselves and lead our own lives in our own way." This leader said a great many more things along the same line, but why go into them? All of us have heard that kind of chatter before and we know what it means. We know that it means that the person speaking is saying to white people what he thinks they want him to say. He is following the same line followed by so many other leaders for so many years. We know that he is involved in one way or another with some social movement that depends upon the support of white people for its existence. We know, finally, that he is not merely a race but the wolfie of the race as he is in the welfare of that particular movement in which he is interested. How can this individual speak for the race? How can he lead any group from darkness of poverty, superstition and ignorance to a position of self-respect, self-reliance, an independence of spirit and of mind when he is so far out of tune with the things which make for the progress of any people? After all, of what importance is it to the great movement for real citizenship whether we are interested in intermarriage or not? Men and women mate and marry for individual reasons. They have done this since men and women have been together. Neither race, religion nor creed has ever proved a definite barrier to this natural law of mating where two individuals meet and decide to mate. Knowing this, and knowing that the state of our minds as a group will have nothing to do with the ultimate marriage, we see such statements as the above one, coming from a national figure, as silly and ridiculous. Even as this "leader" speaks, we recall that he is loaded with the white blood of his grandfather and father. This same leader, living as he does in the deep South, attends interracial meetings, rides to these meetings in "jim-crow" elevators in the South, sits in "jim-crow" sections of the rooms, eats at "jim-crow" tables in "jim-crow" restaurants, rides "jim-crow" trains and street-cars, and does not dare enter a first class hotel for a night's lodging. He has done this for years, and will continue to do this because to him the fight for a complete abolishment of these evils is beneath his dignity. He is interested in the greater issues of intermarriage and of lynchings. He goes his way serenely happy and content, asking nothing but that he be given a national ovation as a hero and a leader. He speaks to white audiences in the North and tells them how we "are conquering" the demon of race hate in the South. In the North he talks of great issues of "human brotherhood" and of the general welfare of man. But he never speaks of the murder and the pillage and the strife and confusion going on about the North. He knows of the North that he wants his people set free from proscription and from slavery. He says nothing of his women serving as concubines for white masters who prate daily of "the sanctity of womanhood." He says nothing of the debauchery of his young girls by white men and the state of moral deprivacy into which this debauchery has thrown them. He says nothing of the mental anguish and physical slavery imposed upon his men and women throut the South. He says nothing of the segregated school—the money taken from black toil-worn hands to pay for institutions of learning from which he and his children are barred. Oh, there are hundreds of things he could mention to prove that he is sincerely interested in the welfare of his people and, thru them, the general welfare of the world. These things.

He is a missionary to the world for world peace when he knows that there is no peace in his own yard. This leader and his sentiments would be unimportant if they were alone. But they are not—they are legion. Everywhere we turn we run into them—petty, self-inflated children with their childish prattle! They live within their horizons of pettiness and strive to fill the boots of greatness. They know nothing of the world because they have not bothered to travel and learn. They know not what real freedom means because they have never experienced it. They have drawn their conclusions of the world from within the narrow confines of their "jim-crow" lives. They have never seen such countries as France, Brazil, Argentina, therefore they have no conception as to how free men and women of all races live and act together. They speak of manhood—but the word means nothing to them! Yet they pose as our leaders. They presume to speak for us. They get the ear of the world and fill it with their ideas of what we do or do not want. Is there any wonder that we flounder about in our efforts to get in step with the forward march of the world? We need men—real men—courage men—honest men—memorandum vision men—who have traveled, and who can tell us from experience and contrast the viciousness of segregation and prejudice.

Attorney Decatur, Ala.—The South's refusal to allow Afro-Americans to serve on juries was challenged Monday, at the outset of the retrial of the seven Scottsboro boy-victims whose death sentence for alleged assault was set aside by the U. S. Supreme Court, some months ago. Samuel S. Leibovitz, a lawyer in Sel, moved to quash the indictment on the ground that the grand jury was made arbitrarily to consist only of whites. "This is clearly a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution," he said.

The Letter-Carriers band, Frank Nelson, director, possibly the most accommodating and one of the most popular musical organizations in the city of Cleveland, gave the Phillis Wheatley Association a splendid hour and a half recital, last week Thursday evening. This band, the only one in the city to do so, has for years made it a practice to visit the various public institutions of the city particularly among clearly people and children for the purpose of so entertaining the inmates.

Last Sunday afternoon, a mass meeting was held in one of our local churches to protest against a recent decision of the Ohio state supreme court in the Doris Weaver-Ohio State University discriminatory case which in affect reads "purely social relations" into Ohio laws protecting our rights in this state, thereby leopardizing the latter for all time in the future unless said decision is wiped out by the U. S. Supreme court. The aforementioned mass meeting was held for the purpose of explaining the situation to our people and to raise funds to enable attorneys to ask the court for a rehearing of the case. The church was only barely half-filled with loyal members of the race in spite of the fact that the matter under discussion was of vital interest to all of our people of the state and the entire country. If that Ohio supreme court decision is permitted to stand, it will be used as a precedent in all the courts of the country and thus do almost irreparable damage to our people's rights everywhere in the United States. At St. James' A. M. E. church, in the eastern section of the city, another meeting was held, Sunday. Our people packed the place to the doors to hear Cleveland's Democratic mayor discuss city administration economies which he was endeavoring to effect. Since Mayor Miller took office, the first of the year, he has "fired" practically all of the Afro-American city employees and appointed very few of our people to the smallest and most insignificant jobs. There was absolutely no good reason why they should pack that church to hear him discuss city administration economies or almost anything else, especially when a meeting was being held at the same time that meant so much to all of us as the meeting at Lane Metropolitan church. Sunday afternoon. It seems strange that so many of our people, especially those who call themselves intelligent, loyal, etc., show so little interest in matters that are so vital as the one under consideration at the mass meeting just referred to, and yet this is the rule, not the exception. Whither are we drifting? Yes, "Negroes are a great people!" REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP. The Republican party of the city of Cleveland and county of Cuyahoga, in defeat, "is crossing a stream." Therefore, it would be positively silly for it to "swap horses" at such a time. The charge that its leader, Mr. Maurice Maschke, is responsible for its recent defeat in both city and county is ridiculous and one that has been urged, particularly in recent months, by "sore" Republicans and the Democrats, both individuals and newspapers, for the sole purpose of deposing the leader of the party in this city and county, and thus further disorganizing it. Skilled leadership such as Mr. Maschke affords as the result of his twenty-five years' experience at the head of the local organization is needed more for this fall's campaign than in many years past. If we are going to win in the city election at that time, the party must have the benefit of his experience and direction. The Democrats know that to depose him at this time would create a condition in the Republican party of this city that would positively insure the re-election of Mayor Ray T. Miller and that is why all this noise about "new leadership." With the impending Democratic candidacies of Mayor Miller and Congressman Martin Sweeney, bittor political enemies, all the Republicans of the community have to do is to present a solid front, with one candidate, to regain control of the city of Cleveland. Therefore, those persons who are assailing the Maschke leadership are only doing all in their power to insure the re-election of a Democratic mayor by creating division in the Republican party of the city of Cleveland that it will take years and years to overcome. The retention, as leader, of Maurice Maschke means certain success for our party at the polls in November. THE NEW TRIAL. The Scottsboro, Ala., boy-victims' new trial opened, Monday, at Decatur, Ala., with the state militen guarding the court house. Ruby Bates, one of the two white girls who have said they were forced to bring he criminal charge against the boys and who several weeks ago gave out a letter exonerating them and admitting that she was forced by Scottsboro officers to testify against them, has since been spirited away. She has been missing from her home in Huntsville, Ala., ever since Feb. 27, 1933. Her mother, Mrs. Mary Bates, says she believes her daughter has been kidnapped. This is undoubtedly the case because there are officers and others in Alabama who are determined that those seven innocent boys shall be a sacrifice to their prejudice and mendacity. Victoria Price (white), the other girl, has not disappeared, doubtless because she is still a willing tool in the hands of those people. The Scottsboro case is now also well-known throut Europe owing to the agitation and work of the Communists who after many months are still leading the legal fight to secure justice and freedom for our innocent boy-victims. Prime Sport News Clew and Owens Shine! Jesse Owens, our speedster from East Tech, equaled his own meet record for the 50-yard dash when he qualified for the finals of the district scholastic championship. Public Auditorium, Saturday, in 5.4 seconds. Another meet record was tied by another one of our boys, Carl Clew of John Hay, who raced 50 yards in 5.5 seconds to lead the class B qualifiers. About 800 athletes were on hand for the tenth annual meet. The finals were staged in the evening, together with special collegiate and A. A. U. open features. The 50-yard high hurdle record in class A was broken twice. Jess Owens, East Tech and Seitz, our Tech both topped the finals in 6.8 seconds old, record, held by Seitz was 7.1 seconds. Owens twice ran the event in 6.8, in the preliminaries and also the semi-finals. MAYOR MILLER Addresses a Crowded House at St. James' Forum on His Stand on Economics—The Question Period Hot. St. James' A. M. E. church was packed, Sunday afternoon, to hear Mayor Ray T. Miller discuss before its forum salary cuts for city employees. At the conclusion, Rev. D. O. Walker, the pastor of the church who presided, permitted the speaker to be questioned on the matter under discussion. John C. Glenn twice asked Mayor Miller why he did not applaud a member of the race superintendent of the garbage plant to succeed Seth Nickens, who held the position for a year or so prior to the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

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, bar-sharer, 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, ages be fixed in less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than 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. L GOODS IN OUR LINE S.

City, was the victim of an assault, Wednesday Kitchen by Many women learn to bake Pies and cookies, tarts and cake. But the clever thing instead Is to learn how to make bread. Bread making in the home is almost a lost art nowadays. This is probably partly due to the fact that it is so easy to buy a loaf of bread along with the other groceries. However, I have an idea that another reason that so few of us bake our own bread is because it sounds like such a difficult task. It really isn't difficult at all. Half the battle is in selling yourself the idea of SIMPLY COULDN'T MAKE BREAD FOR COURSE YOU COULD trying it. After that, it is really quite easy, and the results are more than worthwhile. When we think of the "staff of life" we usually think of white bread, which is of course, made of wheat. While wheat is perhaps one of the least expensive ingredients to use in the preparation of bread, there are many other cereals which make perfectly delicious bread. I am going to emphasize these and shall give you several recipes. 3 cups corn meal 1 3/4 cups graham flour 1 cup milk sweet 1 level teaspoon salt ralks, if desired Mix corn meal, graham flour, salt and soda together. Add molasses. Place in a tin (a high empty coffee can will work very satisfactorily). BUT IT DOESN'T ME SAY, MISTER, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO BANANA CITY FROM HERE?

C.)—WNU Service, EACE has. been promised to ‘Nicaragua with the signing of a pact recently between the rebels ‘who have caused turmoit for sev- efal years, and the central govern- ment. Next to peace, Nicaragua's greatest needs are improved means of trans: “portation and communication. At Present the national railway fystem consists of a line, some 150 miles long, running from the principal Pacific ‘coast port of Corinto, via Leon, to the eapital city, Managua, and en to Gra nada and Diriamda. A 24-mile line Unking Lake Nicaragua with San Juan el Sur, a few private lines, and a three-mile steam tramway swell the republic’s total railway mileage to 196 miles, In wet weather most of the roads of the country are traversable only by ox-cart, but some 3,000 miles of surfaced highways have been com- pleted of are under construction Although Nicaragua is the largest state of Central America—about equal im area to New York state—its popu- lation fs only equal to that of Pitts- burgh, Pa. Three-fourths of the in abitants live in the mountainous and upland western half of the country. ‘The history of the republic 1s a ¢hronicle of the sufferings of the masses, principally of mixed Spanish ‘and Indian descent, under kaleidoscop- fe changes of government. It is re- eorded that in one period of 1¢ years ‘996 persons in succession exercised su- Preme power—an average period of control of hardly more than two weeks per ruler! ‘Among the most dramatic incidents of Nicaragua's past was the William Walker episode, which in a measure paralleled the Maximilian tragedy in Mexico. During five years of his tem: pestuous career this young American Adventurer became in turn “liberator,” virtual dictator, president, and a. ref- ugee from Nicaragua. Twice arrested ‘and deported by United States forces, he was finally made a prisoner by an officer of the British navy and was surrendered to Honduran authorities, who tried and condemned him to be shot. He was executed September 12, 1800. ‘twice has Nicaragua felt the pun- tite force of European powers—in 11875, when Germany blockaded the re- public's principal ports to force the payment cf an indemnity of $30,000 for an alleged insult to a German con- sul, and in 1805, when Great Britain collected $15,000 damages for the ar- fest and expulsion of one of its con- sular officers at Blueflelds, who had ‘been charged by Nicaragua with con- splracy-against the government. Should Prosper With Peace. ‘The United States has repeatedly ‘endeavored to bring peace out of the Nicaraguan chaos, and United States marines were stationed in the repub- Me intermittently for many years. ‘When Nicaragua's political parties ‘eventually permit, or are coerced into ‘permitting, the populace to settle down to cultivating the country's rich ba- ana lands, her coffee plantations, her eacao groves, and her cotton fclds, ‘there 1s no reason why this largest of the Central American republics should not become one of the most prosper- ous. ‘The agricultural wealth of Nicara- goa constitutes only a part of her nat- ‘ural resources, for there is a magni- ‘Scent growth of mahogany and of oth- ‘er cabinet woods in her forests, and her hifis are rich in gold and silver, while on the upland plains there is ‘qqcellent pasturage for thousands of cattle. ‘The most striking physical features ‘@f Nicaragua are her chain of volca- pees lying parallel to the Pacific sea- Doard, and her two great lakes, Man- agua and Nicaragua, the latter be ing the largest sheet of fresh water tm the Americas south of Lake Michi- ‘and north of Lake Titicaca in the Hentands of Bolivia and Perv. ‘Nicaragua enjoys the advantage of Raving almost at her door an eager ‘customer for all her agricultural prod- ‘ucts. The United States buys two- ‘thirds of all the republic's exports, and fm return the latter purchases three fourths of her imports from us. ‘Three of Nicaragua's cities have frequently Dasked’ in the news spot- Night—Managua, the present capital, and Leon and Granada, each of which have aspired to become the first city, perticulariy since the devastating @arthquake which nearly wiped out Managua in 1931. Managua bas a population of ap- proximately 60.900, but its importance {s largely political. It is the distrib- uuting center for coffee from the hills to the south, which constitute the lead- Ing coffee section of the republic. An ancient Indian village existed on the site of Managua when the Span- lards arrived. The town was of little importance until 1858 when the fil- bustering expedition of William Walk- er strangely improved its lot. ‘The ri- val cities of Leon and Granada had been capitals alternately. Walker's in- vasion united the factions and Man- agua became the compromise capital. Making Managua Better. ‘The town is laid out in squares. Ex- cept for the National palace (the Capitol building) and the president's residence, most of the buildings in Managua were small and low. ‘They were constructed for the most part of & soft voleanle stone or of mud bricks (adobe). ‘These large, crude bricks are lald in a wooden frame and are plastered inside and out. These build- ings were not highly inflammable when standing and fires have been confined usually to single structures. Until recently Managua has had dirt streets—alternately dusty and muddy —and has lacked sanitary conveni- ences. During the last few years a million-dollar-Improvement campaign has been carried out under the super- vision of American contractors and en- gineers. ‘The town has been furnished with electrie lights, waterworks, sew- ers, and paving. Approximately one- third of the streets have been paved. ‘There is a good sized American col- ‘ony in Managua, probably several bun- ated civilians. A modera airport bullt by the United States marine forces has helped Managua to become one of the leading air terminals in Latin America. Here passengers en route to or from South America must change planes. Leon and Granada are centuries-old rivals for the distinction of being Nica- rague’s capital. Each elty was found- ed in 1523, and in the succeeding two ‘and a half centuries the seat of gov- ernment alternated between them. Leon has been second in population in Nicaragua since Managua’s rise to power. Located on the rallroad that connects Managua and Granada with Corinto, the country’s principal sea- port, Leon has enjoyed a consistent flow’ of trade and has become one of the transportation centers of Central ‘America. In the fertile mountain country surrounding Leon corn, sugar cane, cattle and dairy products are the principal sources of wealth. ‘The town itself 1s typleal of many small cities in Latin America. Low houses of adobe, covered with red tiles, Ine the cobblestone streets. Leon's cathedral, started in 1610, is one of the show places of Nicaragua. ‘The city shows the effect of numerous revolutions, but its plaza is still one of the handsomest in the country. Leon Makes Lots of Soap. Leon's manufacturing _ establish- ments include a large soap factory, which Is said to supply 80 per cent of the laundry soap used on the west coast, a candle factory, two bottling “works, three tanneries, and a water- power electric lght plant. Granada, the oldest, by a few months, and perhaps the wealthiest city in Nicaragua, was founded by Franclsco Fernandes da Cordoba, as fan inland port at the weatern end of ‘Lake Nicaragua, During Spanish Co- Ionia! days boats from the Caribbean sea came up the San Juan river and across Lake Nicaragua directly to the docks of Granada. While this acces- sibility made Granada an important trading center, It also left It » target for early pirate attacks, and it was several times sacked, but always re built. . Granada 1s the terminus of the Pa- cific railroad, which connects the city with Managua, Leon, and Corinto, a Gistance of 171 miles, The railroad operates a small steamer on Lake Nicaragua connecting Granada twice a week with the other towns on the lake, Granada’s principal trade is In coffee, ‘sugar cane, cattle and dairy products. Yt Is the smallest of the three princ!- pal cities, having only 22,000 popula- fion. Granada has always supported the so-called “conservative” Ideas in government, while Leon has favored the “liberal” side.

MORE VELVET By CHERIE NICHOLAS 2D Gi aed UNe sn ToL ge C am aN el eo Se 5 Seems as if we never will get enough of velvet, and let us hope we never will, for fabrics may come and fabrics may go but we are glad that designers are seeing to it that velvet stays with us forever, An intriguing thought which fashion creators are ad- vancing Just now Is to add velvet ac- cessories and trimmings to costumes of contrasting materials, This is ‘working out In two ways in that many of the new print and crepe daytime frocks carry velvet details such as girdles, bows, belts and scarfs. At the same time evening gowns take unto themselves all sorts of cunningly ‘devised Uttle velvet wraps and other beguiling fantasies. ‘The group pic- tured includes at the top a little green velvet capelet which crosses at the front in a unique manner, Below, to the right, is a white uncut velvet cape over a black velvet gown. To the left fs shown a black transparent velvet Jacket with ecclesiastic sleeves. The last number Is a fetching waist-depth Jacket of velvet in that very new yel- low-red of which we are hearing 80 much this season. It is worn with a frock of white uncut velvet. I STYLE NOTES Spring fur, designers stress capes. Coats lead away from the molded line. Tailored fashions have gone mas- culine, "The new cotton laces are smart looking. Choice of navy rather than black is noted. We are to wear flowers again, says fashion, ‘All the new hats demand perfect- ly colffed hair. Hats match scarfs and gloves either in color or fabric. Color of Spring Hosiery Tends to Neutral Shados Greges, those IMusive values that are aimed by both the gray and beige families, will make their appearance in spring hoslery colors. Neutrality is the keynote of pract! cally all hoslery. Colors are being adopted on the basis of versatility— their ‘ability to blend with costumes and shoes.

Supreme Court, and they are: First, that Miss Weaver's separa- tion from the white students In the Home Economics house of Ohio State University i# not discrimination, be- cause if {t were not done, it would be necessary for her to have “purely so- cial relations” with students of the various other races, and this “cannot be enforced by law," says the court. Second, that the O. S. U. officials ‘had full authority to prescribe the regulations” that resulted in the sep- aration of Miss Weaver from the other students of various races in the Home Economics house. In plain words they were within the law when they ordered the dis- crimination against Miss Weaver's race only. Just how Judge Florence Allen and Judge Carl V. Weygandt of Cleveland as well as the heretofore “old reliable” judges, Messrs. Jones and Mathias, could reach such a conclusion and sign such a decision is more than we can understand.

Colored Americans are the only race, responsible mem- bers of which are In favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim tha: their race “always will be discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of unlversal discrimina- tion, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning Decause they will die rather than submit, The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have 0 ‘guis’.” ‘The world respects only thoss who resent and re- sist proseriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal MUberty, and forever resist de- nial of rights in our native land, however long race dis- erimination may continue, To submit is to deserve con- tempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guar- dian. PRESIDENT FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT on | ~~ <a PROMISES ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Jersey City, N. J.—President Frankhn-D. ‘Roosevelt promised the American people “a new deal” if they would elect him President. This has been done. The deal is the next thing, Among the things that con- stitute this new deal, southern mobo- cracy should be considered, The rev- elation of the political corruption of the state of Louisiana, is not peculiar to it but to the “solid south.” For fifty years the south has flagrantly denied our people their civil, politi- cal and human rights. It has become a habit to do so. This habit is so fixed until the south has turned upon <tself, and the men who led in de- Stroying Negro rights are now hay- ing their rights denied. A just pun- shment. ‘The U. 8. Senate is investigating couisiana’s senatorial election and in his investigation a political stench tas arisen that stinks to heaven, or ‘ome other place. The Senate is'ap- varently deeply concerned because Anglo-Saxons (composite) have suf- ered. While other races suffered, {t dismissed these sufferings without speaking of them. The fact ts ft con- doned the disfranchisement of our voters all over the south. By its pres- ent attitude it seems to condemn the distranchisement of white voters. What wo have said, applies to Sen- ators of the north, ‘east, west and south. In other words, ‘the Senate feels that voting is “a ‘white’ man’s prerogative” but not a Negro’s. Sen- atorial courtesy, the inherent right ot “white” men to rule over Negroes and the unwillingness to interfere with them even though they Iynch- murder and hold Negroes in peonage, expressly forbidden by the feneral constitution, caused the U. S. Senate to cover its ears and eyes to the mob- Jaw running the south, If Mr. Roose velt attempts to give his new deal, he must tackle this un-American and ‘un- civilized policy of the south which has made America an assinino hypo- crite in the eyes of nations of the world. Tho American banking system broke down and the whole nation paused to repair it. The religion, government, fair-dealing and Justice of America’ present as appalling a dobacte as does the banking business. The American church 1s the tool of the political demagogues of the country. The American clergy, with few exceptions, does what {s popu- lar with the “powers that be in their churches and in the government.” The rights of Negroes in this coun- try" do not concera many white eer Eyiséae noe tele conkrenetions Tha: southern white denominations feel that their heaven and chureh are not the heayen and church where Ne- groes should be considered brethren on ecclesiastical equality. President Roosevelt would be eloquent in his addresses if he should call attention to this breakdown of the American church. In this “new deal,” Negroes re- serve the right to have something to say. They no longer ask simply to be treated right, but demand that all forms of persecution and unfair deal- ing cease. If those in power refuse to stop, Negroes like other groups will seek a way to make themselves felt as well as free themselves from the evil things complained of. Po- tically, this government cannot com- mand the respect of the world until it settles once for all that no group of citizens shall deny another group their constitutional rights. Any at- tempt to do so, will bring down upon the group denying the same, the hea- vy hand of justice and the condemna- tion of all right-thinking people, We are willing to aid Mr. Roosevelt in his “new deal” if he asks for me and mine what he takes for himself and his.
