HEAR! HEAR!! A ON WHAT'S DOING Wm. Boyden, said to be the new superintendent of the garbage plant, is a resident of the west side, while Attys, Chas, W. White and Selmo Glenn live in the 24th Ward. The Rounder wonders if there are any of Councilmen Payne and Bundy's constituents of color in the 11th and 17th Wards, respectively, and any of former Councilmen George's constituents in the 18th Ward who are able to function as superintendent of the garbage plant and officiate as assistant director of the office and issuance of fliers if Glenn is appointed, as announced by Bundy), jobs "The Blossom Triplets" are announced as having secured. Why go to the west side and the 24th Ward to secure these appointees when there are so many of our people in Wards 11, 17 and 18 eligible, who are in dire need of positions or jobs? Current political gossip had it that Payne at first wanted Arthur Johnston, ex-mayor of Miles Heights Village, appointed superintendent of the plant, and Councilman Hempfield Finch, appointed World War veteran, active in Boyston Post. Payne switched from Johnston to Sam Terrell, it is said, who has been appointed an assistant to Boyden. George sided with Payne and Bundy, of course. So Finkle lost out again. In all the foregoing, where were Councilman-Elect John E. Hubbard and Councilman Perry B. Jackson who for many months has had his heart set on that position in the law director's office (given Charlie White and worked hard for it for many months) for many months to get it. It seems that George, who has been striving ever since election day to succeed Atty, John E. Ballard as Republican leader of Ward 18, has been permitted by Hubbard and Jackson to run all over them politically. Just too bad for Perry, at least, isn't it? DOINGS OF THE RACE. Edw. W. Henry (Dem.) was elected Magistrate recently in Philadelphia. Seth Davis (white) was lynched at Lumpkin, Ga., after he had been charged with a criminal attack on a ten-year-old girl of the race. Of the four "Negroes" shot recently by a mob in the vicinity of Tuscaloosa, Ala., three of them fatally, one was innocent and the other three possibly so, according to a report made public by the Southern Commission on the Study of Lynching. No convincing proof of guilt was found. Four of the parents fighting against a "jim-crow" school in Berwyn, Pa., were lodged in jail, recently, on a charge of violating the truancy law by keeping their children out of the separate school provided for "Negroes." The parents scorned the fine of $2.50 and served it out in jail. Seven of the Scottborsoro boy-victims—all except Roy Wright and Eugene Williams—were taken back to the lynch-mount of Decatur, Ala. Nov. 20, from the Birmingham jail for their third arraignment. Their trial is set to begin Monday. Their attorneys are Samuel S. Lebowitz and José C. Colby-Knox, New York City; Colby Geh, W Chamele of chattanooga, Tenn.; furnished by the International Labor Defense of New York City. David S. Ingalls. The above is an excellent portrait of David S. Ingalls, the Republican candidate for governor about three years ago, whom Mayor Harry L. Davis has appointed welfare director of the city, succeeding Mrs. Bernice C. Davis, who was appointed that during the last gubernatorial campaign that the local daily papers Clarence J. Brown. announced Councilman Leroy Bundy as having received money from Mr. Ingalls or his campaign management and to have received money from Secretary of State Clarence J. Brown or his campaign management, opposing candidates for the Republican nomination for governor and Mr. Ingalls. It will also be recalled that Mr. Maurice Maschke, head of DUDLEY S.BLOSSOM the local Republican organization at the time, was thereby forced to take personal charge of the vote in Ward 17 to insure its vote for Mr. Ingalls in spite of Bundy. We feel sure that our people will receive treatment from Mr. Ingalls in marked contrast to that received at the hands of Color-Line Director Dudley S. Bloos, who officiated during the Hopkins and Morgan regimes in the hand of the local city government for six years or more prior to the advent of the Miller Democratic administration. ACTS IN LYNCHING CASE. Maryland's Governor Would Replace Prosecutor Uniform Arrests All Baltimore, Md.-Gov. Ritchie on Monday suggested that the circuit judges replace State's Attorney John B. Robins of Somerset county, unless he has arrested the nine men whom eye-witnesses have sworn had a part in the lynching at Princess Anne, Md., last month. The evidence against the nine was collected by the Wife Preston Lane Jr., largely from police men who were beaten back by the mob when they ed the Somerset jail and lynched George Armwood, only charged with attacking an aged woman (white).

THE EDITOR NAMED BY A COMMITTEE ELECTED AT TUESDAY EVENING'S MEETING OF REPRESENTATIVE MEMBERS OF THE RACE. Directors Ingalls and Eirick Assist the Committee to Reach the Mayor, Wednesday Noon—Conference Granted for Thursday Morning. Previous to issuing the call and the invitations to the meeting, Mr. Moon on Sunday and Monday of this week had caused a flood of personal letters to be sent to Mayor Harry L. Davis urging him to give our people of this community the representation they wanted and so greatly deserved because of their almost unanimous support of his candidacy at the primary and on the recent election day. These letters requested his honor, the mayor, to consider the name of Editor Smith in connection with a place in his cabinet and, if possible, grant our people of this community the representation they so earnestly desire and so fully deserve. Leading the van of letterwriters (to the mayor) was the veteran resident of Cleveland, former State Senator John P. Green, dean of the local bar, who early last week, on his own initiative, sent a strong communication to the mayor urging the selection of the Hon. Smith for a post in his cabinet. Last Friday Friday evening this week Monday evening the Rebulletin club of Ward 11 and the Harry L. Davis Booster club of Ward 18, respectively, adopted the strong resolutions which were immediately to the mayor, and also presented to him in person at Thursday's conference by the citizens committee: WHEREAS, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the GAZETTE in campaigning, (speaking) and with his newspaper gave the Hon. Harry L. Davis, Republican candidate for mayor, more active and impressive support during the two recent campaigns than any other individual member of our race in this community, and WHEREAS, Mr. Smith's many years' experience, as an editor and publisher and as an active Republican as well as his six years' service as a member of the Ohio Legislature, which brot him into intimate contact with the city's affairs, better fit him for appointment at the hands of Mayor Harry L. Davis than ```markdown ``` On call of Mr. Roddy K. Moon of Bryant Ave, and Mr. Wm. R. Conners, secretary of the "Negro" Welfare Association, a well-attended meeting of leading citizens, male and female, was held, Tuesday night, in the Association's rooms in E. 40th St. Mr. Conners, as temporary chairman, opened the meeting, and later Mr. Moon was elected permanent chairman. Both gentlemen made clear the object of the gathering which was to select a committee to call upon Mayor Harry L. Davis and impress him with the fact that the 40,000 Afro-American voters of this community not only desired but represented representation in his cabinet, which he was trying to complete by the end of the week. After full and free discussion upon the part of nearly all present, the following gentlemen were selected to compose the committee referred to: Atty. Alex H. Martin, chairman; Roddy K. Moon, Welfare Secretary Wm. R. Conners and H. W. Evans, pastor of Lane Metropolitan C. M. E. church. This committee was instructed by the meeting of exceptionally represented citizens to call upon the mayor immediately and ask for the appointment of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, to a position in his cabinet. All of this action was taken after the editor, who had been invited to the meeting by Mr. Moon, had addressed it and left to attend a meeting of the Cuyahoga County Republican League, which assembled in the "Show Boat" room of the Helenen, that evening, with his instructions, called at the mayor's office, Wednesday morning, and saw the mayor with the assistance of Directors David S. Ingalls and Wm. F. Eirick. So great was the crush at the City Hall at the time by applicants for conferences with the mayor, that his honor requested the committee to return. Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, for a full and free discussion of the matter. This conference between the mayor and our citizens committee was in progress when we went to press. Thursday. At a meeting of the Ingalls-Botton Norton Republican Club of the Third Councilmanic District, Friday evening, Nov. 17, 1933, the following was adopted amidst cheers and much applause: A. RESOLUTION THE GAZETTE is the oldest class publication of the kind, and has the largest bona fide circulation among Ohio Afro-Americans, double that of any other newspaper published in this or any other state, and compilations with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the best EBT BIBLISM published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. any other member of our group in this community, and WHEREAS, Without the 40,000 Afro-American votes given Mayor Davis on election day, Nov. 7, 1933, and those cast for him at the primary election, our mayor could not be elected, and the additional fact that this vote is one of the few most potent factors of the Republican party [Name] Atty. A. H. Martin, Chairman. of the city of Cleveland and therefore is entitled to representation in the mayor's cabinet. BE THERE IT RESOLVED that we respectfully ask Mayor Harry L. Davis for the appointment of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, father of Ohio's Mob Violence Act or Anti-Lynching Law and father of Ohio's Civil Rights Law, as a member of his cabinet, and assure him of our continued loyal support not only of him but also of the great Republican party and its principles. Signed (Mrs.) Della Wilson Clinton, President, Ingalls-Bolton-Norton Republican Club. (Mrs.) Mary La Santee, Secretary. At a meeting of the Harry L. Davis Booster Club of the 18th Ward, Monday evening, Nov. 20, 1933, the following was adopted unanimously and most enthusiastically: A RESOLUTION. WHEREAS, the Hon. *arry C. Smith*, editor of the *GAZEETTE*, supported most earnestly and vigorously our councilmatic candidate in this ward (18) prior to the primary, and WHEREAS, Mr. Smith and Mayor Harry L. Davis have been friends ever since Mr. Davis' youth, and also that no member of the race in this city campaigned (speaking nightly) as much for Mr. Davis' success before and after the recent primary election as Mr. Smith, and rendered such yeoman and consistently helpful service in his paper, THE GAZEETTE, prior to and after the recent primary, and WHEREAS, without our vote at the recent elections, our Mayor could neither have been nominated nor elected, and the fact that other races were held in the city of the Republican party of the city of Cleveland than ours are already represented in Mayor Davis' cabinet, therefore be it RESOLVED, That we respectfully ask Mayor Harry L. Davis for the appointment as a cabinet member of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, thrice a member of the Ohio Legislature; for many years editor of THE GA-ZETTE, and a life-long Republican and campaigner for the success of the Republican party and its principles for many years. Mr Smith is also the father of Ohio's Mob Violence Act or Anti-Lynching Law and father of Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Signed (Atty.) Jos. B. Baylor, President. (Rev.) J. L. Smith, Secretary.

SATURDAY, NOV. 25, 1933. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges with many thanks the receipt of a very pretty and useful souvenir from the American Safety Corporation, Brooklyn, N. Y., in the shape of one of their new Gem Micromatic Razors, complete with five doublebleed blades, in an attractive and permanent leatherette-covered case. Practical use is being made of the splendid gift, and the razor found to be one of the best on the market. A CABINET MEMBER. The ladies and gentlemen who met at the "Negro" Welfare Association, Tuesday evening, and selected a committee, to call on Mayor Harry L. Davis for the purpose of presenting our claims to a position in his cabinet, can not be commended too strongly. It is high time our people of this community were demanding their rights and privileges and not only in politics, and doing something to stop alleged local leaders, whether elected-officials or not from misrepresenting and "doublecrossing" them. Everybody in this city familiar with the composition of the Republican party knows that our people are entitled to at least two of the mayor's cabinet on the score of their potency as a leading factor of the local Republican party. Nearly if not quite one-third of the total vote given Mayor Harry L. Davis was furnished the party by our people, and for any person to attempt to make the mayor believe that we do not "expect or want" the representation in his cabinet, we are clearly entitled to, is contemptible, especially when those making such a false statement are members of the race. Therefore, those who constituted the meeting of Tuesday evening, and especially the committee they selected, Atty. Alex H. Martin, Mr. Roddy K. Moon, Rev. H. W. Evans and Mr. Wm. R. Conners, are entitled to the unstinted praise of all of our people in this community, whether they succeed or not. One thing sure, both the meeting and its committee representatives have the solid support of the great mass of our people, residents of Cleveland. POLITICAL SIDE-LIGHTS. Up-to-date, it seems as if "The Blossom Triplets" (George, Payne and Bundy) have lost all sight of the fact that Perry B. Jackson is a member of the City Council and John E. Hubbard is a member-elect of that august body. In the scramble for jobs for their constituents, Councilmen Bundy, Payne and former Councilman George apparently have snubbed them dreadfully. George's selection of Atty. Chas. W. White for the place in the law department of the city that Jackson has wanted so long, and Bundy's selection of Solmo Glenn for assistant police prosecutor, are sure body-blows for Perry and a number of others of the faithful. That "The Triplets" double-crossed Atty. Alex. Bernstein in his quest for the service directorship in Mayor Harry L. Davis' cabinet seems to be indicated in their quest for jobs for their constituents. We felt sure that "The Triplets" would not "tote" square with Councilman Herman H. Finkle in their support of Mr. Bernstein's candidacy. Then, too, Bundy's successful support of Wm. Boyden for superintendent of the garbage plant, Payne's support of Samuel Terrell, and Finkle's support of Wallace Stokes, only serves to make more glaring and insincere their alleged support of Mr. Bernstein's candidacy. Furthermore, "The Triplets'" abandonment of the support of any member of the race for membership in the mayor's cabinet is one of the most remarkable and injurious things of a political nature to happen to our people in this city in more than fifty years and ought to bring down upon their heads the unqualified condemnation of all loyal self and race respecting members of the race in this community. They simply ignored the fact that quite one-third of the entire Republican vote of the city of Cleveland is furnished by our voters and that that fact alone gives our people of this community the right to ask and expect representation in the mayor's cabinet. Surely our people are entitled to one of the seven directorships, five of which have been filled at this writing, one of which is held by a member of the Jewish race, the total Republican vote of which is not near that of our people. Every other potent factor of the Republican party except ours is represented in the mayor's cabinet. The fact that we are not can be placed at the door of "The Blossom Triplets." We believe that Mayor Harry L. Davis would have given it if they had been loyal members of the race enough to have asked it. Therefore, the responsibility for the loss of the position is theirs. It is hardly to be expected that we or any other important group in the Republican ranks of this city would be given representation without even asking for it, with the crush for such a position so great.

Dear Sir:—The late, I want to be one of the many thousands to congratulate you on your successful campaigning prior to the election in behalf of the Hon. Harry L. Davis for mayor. I have heard it truthfully remarked "that your campaign speeches and your paper. The Gazette, were vitally important factors in the election of the mayor," in that thru your successfully leading the campaign in Wards 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19 was an effective threat to the self-appointed leaders opposed to Davis. And fearful of their following, after-results, etc., they were whipped into line. Wishing you great success, I am Yours respectfully, Jesse Henderson, Sec. Davis Republican Club. COUNCILMAN HALL DEFEATED. Cincinnati, O.—Frank A. B. Hall, our local councilman who has served two terms, was defeated on Nov. 7. '33. Relative to this, our local race practice. "The Cincinnati Union" of Nov. 18. '33, last week published the following very pertinent article of general interest: "On election day about 10,000 Negroes rushed to the polls to vote for a man because he had a dark skin! They called this exhibition of ignorance, "Race Pride!" Not all of them lacked sense, many of them lacked principle! Several thousands of whites voted for him also! Why? Because he was the kind of ("Im- Crow") 'Negro' they most admire! COURTESY SERVICE GILMORE'S Chile Parlor Beer Wines Private Dining Room Quincy Ave. at E. 82nd St. CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

Every three months another year of service is added to the Brett fam- Frederick B. Brett ily's record. Their combined age is only 206 years. Brett's three brothers — George, Joseph, and Harry—are employees of the Michigan Bell Telephone Company. All four brothers began their telephone careers in the accounting department of the Michigan company at Detroit. George Brett began work as a messenger in 1890; Harry, as an office boy in 1897; Frederick, as an office boy in 1899; and Joseph, as a clerk in 1901. Frederick Brett remained with the Michigan company until 1911 when he was transferred to the accounting department of the central group of telephone companies in Chicago. Later he went to Indiana and then to Ohio. HEARS OF SON'S PLAY BY PHONE C. E. Cawrse, of Lakewood, O., has never missed a football game in which his son, Bob, has played. His record, however, was threatened by an injury which confined him in a hospital when his son's team. Lakewood High, played in Elyria. But the day was saved by a considerate friend who relayed a play-by-play description of the game to Cawrse's hospital room from a special telephone in the field press box at Elyria. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after Jews are more numerous discrimination and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no rights." The world resents only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT His Ohio Civil Rights Law.

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. In 1900, the state of Kentucky have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282.

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 house, 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 dollars 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.

It would improve your hair and increase your beauty one hundred per cent." My hair has always been a trial to me so I tried Hi-Ja. "Thank heavens I did, for as my actress friend had told me, this wonderful, delicately scented, nongreasy hair dressing did wonders with my hair. It made it longer, straighter and more silky than it had ever before. It enabled styles that increased my stage charm.

PINKHAM! But within the past few months Mrs. Myre Arlehart, night operator of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company's exchange at Bowersville, has experienced enough thrills at Mrs. Mykle Arehart the hands of bandits and robbers to last a lifetime. One night several months ago a group of bandits descended upon the village and raided the village bank, which is located on the first floor beneath the telephone exchange. With armed guards blocking every avenue of escape and telephone cables severed, Mrs. Arehart was trapped in the second-floor room. She huddled, quivering with fear, in a corner of the exchange for three hours while the bandits dynamited the bank safe, each blast violently rocking the building. Tear gas filled the room. Her night of horror did not end until the thugs roared away early in the morning with $10,000 in loot. The next night Mrs. Arehart returned to her duties, not expecting another experience with thugs for a long time. However, a few weeks later she glanced out the window of the exchange and saw three thieves pilfering a grocery across the street. She immediately rang the store's telephone Name :.....

The Fine Arts Studios, opened recently at 2099 E. 93d St., are bound to fill a long-felt want in Cleveland, for they furnish a central place where our folk, established or beginning their careers in fine arts, may meet. The credit for the initial idea must go to Mrs. Claire R. Davis, formerly a teacher at Outhwaite School, and the wife of Russell Davis, who teaches at Central High. While doing volunteer work at the Portland-Outwaite Recreation Center Mrs. Davis came into contact with young people artistically involved, and were in need of sympathetic direction, as well as suitable quarters in which they might work. The Fine Arts Studios is an accomplished fact, with some studios occupied by experts in the various arts while others are held in reserve for the benefit of impeccable young artists who might carry out commissions of one kind or another if they only had the proper place in which to do it. Sauces Works on exhibit. A young artist who already has had the training of one of the fine studios is Charles Sallee. He won the scholarship to the Cleveland School of Art offered by the Gilpin Players. Some of his works are in the opening exhibition at the Fine Arts Studios, together with those of John Talmadge Long, Sherman Whitson, Fred Carlo and Melvin Hawkins. Leota Palmer, Dorothy Smith, Mariet Biggs, Everett Lee, Luthur King, Ella Mae Cheeks and Betty Mawen, all make up the class who will be given opportunity to meet those advanced in their art while trying for their own recognition and success, Mrs. Grace Willis Thompson, pianist and teacher, with her husband, Mr. Harry E. Thompson, has one of the studios, and the Luther Kings have another. Among the professional activities will be the teaching of tap dancing by Bob James of the Billy Tilton School of Social Studies, and the Phyllis Johnson, and a much-needed kindergarten conducted by Mrs. Davis. Clarence Brown, director of the choir of the Church of the Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, will conduct choir practice there once a week. On each Friday night there will be a studio dance from 9 to 12, and on every Sunday afternoon, tea from 4 to 6. Mrs. Davis is director, H. Ramsay, sec. and Ella Phillips areas manager, for a full swing. Although some few white friends are scattered through the advisory committee, the project is entirely under the direction of our leaders. THE FOOR BARRED! Cleveland Homes Co. Head Takes Slum Plans to Washington. Plans for the initial slum clearance project of Cleveland Homes, Inc. are in the hands of the federal housing administration at Washington. They called for a $3,000,000 group of two and three-story apartment buildings, east of the juvenile detention home as far as E. 30th St. between Central and Cedar Aves. They are to contain 900 apartments with 3,500 rooms to rent for an estimated $8.50 a month per room. This will bar the poor residents, Jews, Italians, our people and others. Walter R. McCornack, architect, said the buildings will be of brick, fireproof construction, designed in simple style. They will cover about one percent of the 6 acres, and will face large courts, parks and playgrounds. Raising of the $2,000,000 to match $12,000,000 to be loaned by the federal government, has been assured for Cleveland Homes, Inc., Miss Charlotte Rumbold, secretary, has announced, Lepton E. Carter, president, was in Washington, last week, to reach an agreement on the loan. The agreement is the final step toward actual construction.

Livingston was sent in 1801 by the United States as minister to France to attempt to buy the “Is- land of New Orleans,” on both sides of the Mississippi, and so to gain con- trol of the mouth of the river. He was authorized to offer $2,000,000 and, if necessary, ‘to go as high as $10,000, 000 for the patch of land. Negotiations dragged on for two years, when suddenly war was de- lared on France by Great Britain. ‘More to embarrass Great Britain than to accommodate the United States, Na- poleon decided to sell the entire Lou- {slana territory. ‘The historic decision ‘was reached while the first consul was in his bath. Napoléon Decides to Sell. James Monroe had joined Livingston as a special commissioner. and to them was made the proposal to sell. ‘he French negotiators asked $15 000,000—an amount once and a half as great as the highest authorized figure, ‘The two Americans were aghast. Cables’ and steamships did rot exist. o get. word to’ America and an answer back would require many weeks. Na- poleon was ina hurry. So the two en- yoys figuratively threw their instruc- tions out-the window and signed the agreement. ‘Nobody knew enough about the new domain west of the Missisyippi to draw an intelligible map of it They knew only that there were praisieg and “deserts”; that beyond were mountains of some sort; and that somewhere far- ther‘on, maybe hundreds, maybe thou- sands of leagues away, lay the half mythical South sea, ‘Lewis and Clark, and soon after them Capt. Zebulon Pike, struck into the ‘mew country to see what it was ike, and as a result of their explor- ‘ations Americans began to learn a few ‘things about thelr vast West. ‘When Powell led his party of adven- turers by boat down the Colorado riv- er, in 1869, they were the first to navi- gate the stream through its long can- yons, although the early Spanish ex- plorers had seen the Grand canyon ‘The Florida Purchase, in 1819, Jv. volved a relatively small area. That ‘acquisition really made the United ‘States smaller than it was before. The treaty with Spain definitely marked fhe eastern and northern Spanish ‘boundary all the way from the south- ‘east point of Texas to the northwest point of California. Parts of present Okiaboma, Kansas ‘and Colorado, draining to the Arkan- ‘sus—areas which had been thought to be im the Louisiana territory—were Jost to the United States by the treaty ‘and had to be bought back from Texas later. ‘More territory came to the United ‘States im the decade 1840-1850 than pags cack geo ten years in its his- tory. was added in 1845; the {title to Oregon territory was estab- Yisbed by treaty with Great Britain the following year; and the cession from Mexico in 1848, at the close of the Mexican war; brought in the Call- fornia country and all the region east sn From the Air. to Texas. In all, the forties added to the United States map more than 1,200,000 square miles of territory—an area larger than 20 Floridas. Taking in Texas. ‘The Texas addition was unique. ‘Texas had existed for nearly ten years ag an independent republic, with dip- lomatic representatives in Washington and at European courts and with for- eign ministers in Its own capital. A separate nation entered the Union, the only case of the sort in United States history. More than 388,000 square miles of territory were added by the Texas accession. ‘There was rejoicing when the Ore gon matter was settled, even though the “Fifty-four-forty or fight” slogan ‘was not lived up to. Here was a shin- ing mile-post in the history of the United States. In 70 years from the Declaration of Independence the new nation had pushed across nearly 9,000 miles of virgin territory, had brought almost halt of it into statehood, and had marked the other half for future development. Balboa's hazy sea hid become the incontrovertible Pacific, and in that mighty ocean the United States had how taken the first step to establish Its vital interest. ‘After the. California country (includ ing the present Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and part of Colorado) became United States territory, in 1848, the developments that mean map changes came to the Far West with dizzy speed. One of the world's greatest gold rushes started in ‘49. By 1850 so many people had poured In that California was made a state. ‘This was another outstanding mile stone. Statehood had hurdled hun- dreds of miles of territory and had made Its first appearance on the shores of the Pacific. By 1850 railway trains were puffing back and forth from Massachusetts to Georgia, and even west of the Alle ghenies; yet California still was far- ther out of travel reach with the seat of government than even the remotest Cf the thirteen orizinal states had been in the days of ‘Thomas Jefferson, Nearly All of It Bought. In almost every Important addition to its territory which the United States has made, save Oregon terri- tory, a money payment has played 2 part. ‘The Louisiana Purchase cost $23,- 213,567.73; Florida cost $6,674,057.47, including interest ; Texas and its cred- itors were paid $15,496447.77 to re- linquish claim to lands outside the present state boundaries; Mexico was given $16,295,148.89 for its cession of territory in 1848. In 1854 the final addition was made to continental United States as it now exists, when the Gadsden Purchase ‘was made of 29,670 square miles soutn of the Gila river, in Arizona. For this tract $10,000,000 was paid to Mexico. ‘These five accessions to the United States proper cost $71,079,221.80. ‘A circle with a radius of only 1,000 feet drawn around the business center of Washington, D. C., incloses land as- ‘sessed for almost exactly the amount paid for this far-spreading empire. ‘Territory outside the borders of con- tinental United States bought since 1854 was more costly. Russia was ‘pald $7,200,000 for Alaska in 1867; the Hawaiian national debt of $4,000,000 was assumed when the islands were annexed, in 1808; Spain was given ‘$20,100,000 for islands annexed after the Spanish-American war. ‘The ten-mile strip of the Canal zone in Panama has cost the United States 80 far $15,000,000 paid to Panama and ‘$25,000,000 pald to Colombia. In ad- ition, the United States pald $40,000,- 900 to the New Panama Canal com pany of France. And Panama contin- hhes to receive $250,000 annually. ‘The latest territorial purchase by the United States was the Virgin Is- lands For the 182 square miles of ‘these Caribbean islands Denmark re- celyed $25,000,000 in 1916.

Edwards, toll repairman for The Ohio Beli Telephone Company, Cleveland, arrived at the scene of the accident to repair the line. ‘Amazed by the speed of the line- man's appearance, Trotter asked him if repairs always were made as quick- ly. “If you ever come down where you can't find help, cut a telephone or power Tine and you'll have help in a jiffy,” the Tineman advised, half jok- ingly. Trotter filed this advice in his mem- ory, never expecting to follow it.

As about everybody knows, & “lame-duck” is generally understood to be a candidate who has failed of re-election. While Counellman George was not a candidate for re- election, he was a candidate for a municipal judgeship and failed to be elected. Therefore, the “lame- duck” characterization is not out of place when used in his case at this ime, "We are not of those who feel that Clayborne George or any other “lame-duek” should be pen- sioned by the Republican party. Therefore, the effort of the other two “Blossom Triplets” (Counell- men Payne and Bundy) to push for- ward George as a candidate for an appointment at the hands of Mayor Harry L. Davis, claiming that our people of this ‘community demand it, is silly! As a matter of fact, tiey do not demand or ask any- thing of the kind for reasons plain- ly stated elsewhere in this paper (on page 1.) Then, too, George has been drawing a salary ‘of $1800 a year for six years, (total, $10,300) as a member of the City Council. ‘That's enough for him for awhile. And what has his former constitu: ents got to show for it? Abso- Intely NOTHING! Give someone else a chance to “nurse” at the pub- lic financial tit for awhile, Bundy and Payne are about to enter upon their third term as mem- bers of the City Council at $1800 a year, at least. Their constituents in’ Wards 11 and 17 have ab- solutely nothing to show for their long membership in the city’s legis- lative body; nor do they “‘control the votes in the colored wards,” as stated in a local daily paper, Wed- nesday, Just as a warning only, we would say to Councilman Herman H. Fin- ide of the 12th ward, whom George, Payne and Bundy tried in vain to oust, several years ago, that the less he has te do with “The Blossom Triplets,” the better it will be in the future for all concerned. — He, possibly better than anyone else, knows just how far he can trust them politically. ‘The Gazette here and now PRO- TESTS, not only for itself but also for the great bulk of our people in this city, who refused to vote for Clayborne George as a candidate for municipal judge, Nov. 7, '33, pro- tests vigorously against the pension- ing of that “lagie-duck” George by the Republicans of this city. George was not a candidate for re-election to the Council for a fourth term for reasons now perfectly plain in the light of his experience, Nov. 7, 1933. When he broke his ‘pledge ‘to his constituents and our people of this community—a pledge he had to make in order to be re-elected to the City Council, that year,—"to do Jall in his power to help oust City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins and his Color-Line Welfare Director Dudley 8. Blossom, he forfeited the sup. port of loyal self and race respect: ing Afro-Americans of this commu- |nity, and would have been defeated 83 a candidate for re-election to the Council just as he was defeated on election day for a municipal judge- |ship, Our people of this community want a new deal and look to Mayor Harry L. Davis to give it to them. |They demand their freedom from |the alleged leadership of “The Blossom Triplets” (George, Payne {and Bundy). Patronize Our Advertisers Hon. Barry C. smitn, Editor Gazette, City. Dear Sir:—"Davis can't win!” was Councilman Leroy Bundy's slo- gan from the night he made that speech in the Western Reserve Re- publican rooms, last February, al- most up until’ election day, last week, Associated with him in this belief were Councilman Lawrence Payne and former Councilman Clay- bourne George Whose defeat as a candidate for election as a munici- pal judge was forecast in these col- umns, for weeks, prior to Nov. 7, 1933. Advocating and trying to en- courage the candidacy for mayor of either Daniel E. Morgan or George H. Bender, or anyone else, in oppo- sition to that of Ex-Gov. and Ex- Mayor Harry L, Davis seemed to be a Bundy obsession with him and the two other “Blossom Triplets” (George and Payne) up to the for- mal endorsement of the candidacy of Mr. Davis by the Republican ward-leaders of the city. After that, and especially since the proj- ected candidacy of Congressman Martin L, Sweeney, “The Triplets,” led by Bundy, continued to herald the alleged Weaknesses of Ex-Gov. Davis as the Republican candidate for mayor. They apparently be- Heved that he could not beat Mayor Miller and Congressman Sweeney, figuring Davis to run third at the primary, This was “The Blossom ‘Triplets’ " anti-Davis talk and it gave the most encouragement to the organization of “Negro” Democratic a ‘Sweeney clubs in Wards 11, 17 and 18, the largest in the city. With these clubs “The Blossom Triplets,” George, Bundy gnd Payne, flirted in an effort to promote their own can- didacies, It is still being pretty generally talked, that prior to the primary Sweeney's petitions _ were permitted to be circulated in Wards {1, 17 and 18 long before those of Harry L. Davis; that Mr. Davis’ pe- titions were held in abeyance, while Sweeney's were being circulated and signed, until the Friday preceding the following Monday, the closins date, Sept. 14, on which all peti tions were to be in—filed. with the Board of Blections. After the pri mary and almost up until election day, “The Blossom Triplets” appar. ently clung to the belief that “Davis couldn't win!" Their political activ ity was almost wholly in behalf of their own candidacies, paying very little attention to that of the Repub- lican candidate for mayor, Harry Davis, About the only meeting ad dressed by Bundy was at Liberty Hill Baptist church, in Kinsman Rd. when he introduced Mr. Davis, the principal speaker. All three “Trip. lets” did not show by activity thel interest in the candidacy of the Re publican candidate for mayor, be cause, up until almost the very last they expected Mayor Ray . Miller’ reelection. Last Sunday, “The Blossom Trip lets” and a few of their clos friends met in an effort to formu late a plan that would enable the. to control the appointments for thi 1ith, 17th and 18th Wards, if no for ‘the entire third councilmani district and the city. Monday, it { said they assembled in a simila meeting. As an exhibition of nerve even in politics, these two politica gestures outrank anything of a sim flar nature in the history of Cleve land, for possibly a quarter of + century. Bundy's treatment of the Hon Harry L. Davis in the charter fight some years ago, when he started for the Kansas City Republican conven tion, only to land there om the las day of convention (for some unac countable reason), and this, afte promising Mr. Davis to campaizt for the charter amendment, is stil fresh in the memory of others tr this community than Mayor Davis So “The Blossom Triplets’ "” effort to control our city patronage wil hardly net them much with a mayoi 30 thoroly familiar with certain per ‘sons and things. "As a matter of fact, as far as ow
