Earl D. Thomas will preside. The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING The presence of many of our people at one table at the recent Cuyahoga League of Republican club's "victory banquet" at the Hollendent is explained by those in charge of it by asserting that Mrs. Lillie Mason, woman-leader of Ward 18, asked for the table, which had all the "earmarks" of segregation. "Col." Sid Thompson, an active member of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament church, E. 79th St., has been appointed to a position in a store-house of the Utilities Department of the city's service over the persistent and manifestly unfair protests of "The Blossom Triplets" (George, Payne and Bundy). It will be long now before a number of other real Davis supporters will be so recognized. There are four chaplains at the Warrensville Colony, three of whom are white. One has officiated for 18 years, another 20 and the other for 38 years. Other ministers have never tried to supplant them. Rev. Horace C. Bailey was the first member of the race to be appointed a chaplain for the colony and has served as minister of the church. The position has always been held above politics, it remained for some of our ministers to inject politics into it long enough to oust Dr. Bailey. "Twas ever thus, with our people. In a way this explains why they allow political meetings in their churches, something unheard of in Cleveland before 1917 when the influx from the South occurred. In all years that Dr. Bailey was pastor of Antioch Baptist church, political meetings were tabooed as they should be by every one of our churches as well as those of other classes of people or races. Ward 12 jobholders, it seems, are not required to pay $1 or $2 every pay-day into the ward organization like the job-holders of Wards 11 and 17. They say that Councilman Herman H. Finkle and Atty. Alex. Bernstein, ward leader, do not permit any such doings. It seems that The Rounder was in error, last week, in announcing that Capt. Kas. Beckwith was not an inspector at the garbage plant. He called at The Gazette office, Tuesday, with the information that he was drawn up the pay or an order, that he was not an inspector, indeed, with the treatment accorded him as such, especially during recent weeks when his health was not the best. The "Troy Thomas" affidavit-expose, which appeared first in "The Old Reliable" Gazette, last week, and then in The Plain Dealer of Sunday, was a "humdinger," particularly because section 26 of the city charter reads: "No member of Council shall, except in so far as is necessary in the performance of the duties of his office, directly or indirectly interfere in the conduct of the administrative duties or directs, indirectly take any part in the appointment promotion or dismissal of any officer, or employee in the service of the city other than the officers or employees of the Council." To Go to Liberia. Washington, D. C.—John H. MeVeagh (white) of New York City, second secretary of the American Embassy in Paris, has been designated as second secretary of the legislation consul at Monrovia, Liberia, W. Africa. PETER H. Mayor Harry L. Davis, who recently took over the matter of filling city jobs, is making as rapid progress as his many very exacting and pressing duties will permit. So Republicans generally should be patient awhile longer. The above is an excellent portrait of John P. Morgan, age 22, son of Mr. and Mrs. Garner A. Morgan of Harlem Ave., and a 1929 graduate of Central High school who was appointed physical-culture instructor at the Portland-Outhwate center, last week Thursday, Alex H. Bernstein, ward 12 Republic leader, appointed provost of Herman H. Pinkle, of course. John Morgan was assistant instructor in the gym at "Central High." For twelve years, he trained at the Germania Turnverein, one of the foremost gymnastic institutions in this country. John has a most promising future, particularly as an athlete. LYNCH-MURDER! Republicans of the Thirtieth Ware Pack Their Club Rooms to the Doors to Hear the Editor—Very Enthusiastic. Tuesday evening, the Thirtieth Ward Republican club room was packed to the doors with a crowd which assembled to hear the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, discuss the foremost topic of the time, "Lynch-Murder." After the club's usual opening routine, the president introduced Mr. Maurice Kahn, chairman of the club's publicity committee, who in turn introduced the speaker of the evening, who for more than an hour held the undivided attention of the large audience which frequently burst into unrestrained applause, showing that it was not only thorny interested in the discussion of the subject, but also that it was greatly pleased. Editor with created the following topics: First the lynching of the K. K. Rebellion; 2nd, the Reconstruction Period; 3rd, southern state government set-ups during that time; 4th, nightriders and the K. K. K.; 5th, when lynching was born; 6th, mob violence at election time in the South; 7th, anti-K. K. K. U. statutes; 8th, Leo Frank and Capt. Dreyfus' cases contrasted; 9th, the lynching record; 10th, legislation against lynching, pioneered in this country by Ohio's mob violence act or anti-lynching law, closing with a thorough discussion of the Costigan-Wagner bill, introduced in The Congress, last week, by U. S. Senator Edward P. Costigan of Colorado and U. S. Senator Rober' F. Wagner of New York State. Then came a half hour question period during which the editor amplified a number ofements made during his address. At the conclusion of this period of the evening's exercises, the spontaneous applause was great and most gratifying indeed. Short addresses were then delivered by Messrs. Art Davis, ward-leader; Maurice Kahn, Ex-councilman Chas. Sacks and several others. The Thirtieth Ward is one of if not the largest in the city. Owing to the extremely inclement weather, only a few, very few, of our people were in the large audience. LIBERIA FORCED To Accept the League of Nations Council's Plan for Economic Rehabilitation—Firestone's Reduced Interest Charge. Geneva, Switzerland.—The League of Nations Council, last week, told Liberia, W. Africa, flatly it must accept the Council's plan for economic rehabilitation of the country without modifications. On behalf of the government, President Edwin Barclay had advised the Council that the Legislature accepted the plan—subject to reservations. Opinion in the Council was that the reservations might destroy essentials of the program, but the text has not been received here. Firestone rubber intermediaries were hired to the interest rate on a loan of $2,500-000 made the republic in 1926 if the plan was approved. Under the plan, adopted last fall, an international SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ```markdown ``` commission (white) would supervise administrative and financial reorganization of the African republic for a five-year period. This country supported the movement. During discussion of the program, Louis Arthur Grimes, secretary of state of Liberia, objected to a provision for appointment of an advisor to supervise carrying out of the plan, contending it would make him a virtual dictator. EXHIBITS PORTRAITS. Youngstown Artist Features "Rus gian Peasant Woman"—Tillman Active in Several Other Fields. D. Norman Tillman of Youngstown, artist and "master of the seven arts," was in Cleveland recently, with his exhibit of portraiture featured by the showing of his "Russian Peasant Woman" at the Potter & Mellen galleries, 10405 Euclid Ave. The artist, who also happens to be a poet, lyricist, musical composer (he has written 84 pieces for voice, piano, organ and violin) pianist, penmanship artist and tenor, beside lecturing at the University of culture, first came into notice 11 years ago when at 21 he was commissioned by the Wilberforce club of Philadelphia to paint the portrait of the president of Liberia, W. Africa, C. O. B. King, then visiting in this country. His complete exhibit in Cleveland is showing at the Fine Arts studios, 2098 E. 93rd St., and comprises more than 50 portraits of prominent people of Youngstown Boston and Philadelphia. He has exhibited frequently and been a prize winner with the same frequentness as Penn State's Academy of Fine Arts. Philadelphia, where he was the recipient of a scholarship, and at the South Boston School of Fine Arts. His work has been highly praised by such men as John Hyatt, curator of fine arts at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. The "Russian Peasant Woman" has been termed "a superb characterization" by J. W. Porter, head of the art department of the Potter & Mellen galleries. LYNCH-MURDER FIVE! Nightriders Inaugurate a Reign of Terror—Bodies Found in a Well and in a Field Brutally Murdered. Atlanta, Ga. - At least three "Negroes" have been killed near Bartow, this state, two others are reported murdered, six beaten severely, and the homes of fourteen burned to the ground, in a reign of landlord terror which, carefully suppressed by all newspapers there, has been raging for a month and is going on at the present time. At least two other victims have been killed in Bartow, Ga. and are in momentary danger of being lynched. The dead are Ernest Bell, Will Walker and one unidentified. The body of Bell was found in a well, where he had been thrown after his body was mutilated. The body of one, unidentified, was found in a fallow field with numerous bullets in the head and with the throat cut. Walker died in an Auctioneer, who was fatally injured by a Bartow police officer according to a coroner's jury, the other two men were killed by parties unknown. OUR OLD FRIEND'S SON "Takes His Pen in Hand"—Editor J. R. Clifford Passes Out—A Veteran of the War of The Rebellion. Mechanicsburg, Pa., Jan. 8, 344 Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazzette, Cleveland, O. My dear Sir:—Thanks heartily, I want to convey to you my appreciation for publishing in The Gazette an article written by our mutual friend and forceful writer, Editor W. P. Dabney of the Cincinnati (O.) Union. My father always regarded our and Dabney as outstanding, fearless editors and many old copies of his paper, The Martinsburg (W. Va.) Johnsen Press, bear witness to the high esteem for loyal and aggressive men of your kind. May you live long, to fight the treacherous and unscrummble among our group as well as the narrow-minded, prejudiced element among the so-called superior race, is the sincere wish of Your friend and admirer, J. Paul Clifford. PROTEST! PROTEST!! To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guilotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 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 comparison with any will immediately establish the best EST AND BEST published in this section of the country in the interest of Afro-Americans. LYNCH-MURDERERS DEPRAVED AS VICTIMS! Says Editor W. P. King—Calls Them "White Hoodlums"—Kidnapping and Lynching Compared— "A Coward's Castle." Nashville, Tenn.—In a fiery denunciation of lynching, Dr. W. P. King, editor of The Christian Advocate, official organ of the M. E. Church. South, says in an editorial published, Jan. 11, that lynchers are as deprived and conscieless as the guiltless victims whom they shoot or burn." Lashing out against "white hoodlums" who he said were responsible for lynchings, Dr. King declared that if this element was not "cheeked and dominated by the better element of society it will mean the destruction of our civilization." He asserted that "lynchers not only lynch a human being; they lynch the law itself, which is the safeguard of all human beings." Comparing kidnapping and lynching he wrote: "Kidnaping is mainly against the rich; lynching is an offense against the defenseless. Kidnaping is primarily the effort to obtain money; lynching is the lawless destruction of human life. Any local community in the south would see that justice is meted out to kidnapers. It has been impossible to get a local community in the south to see that the lynchers obtained justice." Listing 28 lynchings (45) in 1933 compared with eight in 1932, thirteen in 1930, in 1930, the editor said "the good citizens feel a sense of shame over the black record of 1933." He declared that "preachers who condone or apologize for lynching turn the pulpit into a coward's castle, and are unworthy of their calling; they should surrender their credentials and take their place among the renegades of society." DOINGS OF THE RACE. It is said that Ethel Waters receives $3,500 a week for her radio work. Atty. Wm. H. H. Hart of Washington, D. C., professor of criminal law at Howard University for many years, died recently. Rev. J. C. Austin, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church, Chicago, is soon to return to Pittsburgh as pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist church. More than a half-dozen anti-lynching bills have been introduced in the new Congress, now about three weeks old; four in the House and two or three in the Senate. Rev. Frederick P. Cannel (white), Roman Catholic priest of Chicago, has been sued for $25,000 by Clarence Shandy of that city for alienation of the affections of his wife. Re-employment of 80 of our teachers in 40 projects under the CWES on the South and West sides of Chicago and in Chicago Heights was announced, the first of the week. The Association of Southern Women (white) for the Prevention of Lynching has more than 16,000 members and the official backing of many religious and civic bodies in that section of the country. It is said that Editor Wm. E. DuBois' marked leaning toward socialism caused friction between the Crisis' editor and its board of management, recently, that caused the editor to threaten to resign. The N. A. A. C. P. listed 28 lynchings in 1933 while the I. L. D. has a record of 43. All the principal officers of the N. A. A. C. P. were re-elected, last week Monday afternoon, at its headquarters in N. Y. City. Speaking over radio station WCFL, Monday, Dr. Horace J. Bridges (white), leader of the Chicago Ethical Society, said the "alleged superiority of whites is only a myth" and that "all races have equal potentialities." Gov. B. M. Miller of Alabama granted a stay of execution, last week Thursday, in the case of Willie Peterson who was to have been electrocuted, last Friday, for the murder, Aug. 4, 1931, of two society members. Peterson is innocent of the charge. She Shield I. B. Hawkins and Chief of Police Fred H. McDuff of Birmingham, Ala. TO RAISE $13,000. Wilberforce, O.—At a meeting, Tuesday night, Jan. 9, the University faculty pledged themselves to raise $13,000 to commemorate the birthday of Bishop Daniel A. Payne, founder of Wilberforce University. Founder's Day will be celebrated, Feb. 24. A program, headed by Prof. George F. Davis, leading up to the Founder's Day, rally has been outlined. Mrs. Tressle C. Daniel, chairman of the financial drive, has the assistance of Dr. Wm. J. Madison and Prof. N. R. Shields.

The Firestone Rubber Co. of Akron, O., with the assistance of the League of "Notions" (Nations), is getting ready to "milk" Liberia, the little west African "Negro" republic, for the next five years. See Geneva, Switzerland letter, elsewhere in this --- The last white president of Howard University, Washington, D. C. could not, it seems, humiliate Prof Kelly Miller enough to make him resign from the university faculty something he should have done. As a result, he lost the high position he held in the minds and hearts of many of our thetical and loyal. --- All those desiring positions in the state liquor stores must communicate with the State Civil Service Commission, State House, Columbus, and ask for an examination blank. They will be required to take a civil service examination. All persons employed in these stores will be chosen from the civil service list, says Representative Chester K. Gillespie. The bottom seems to have fallen out of the housing or slum clearance projects we have been hearing so much about for many months. U. S. Controller J. R. McCarl has ruled that the government has no authority which permits it to set up an emergency housing corporation and ties up one hundred million dollars set aside for that work. The result is that housing activities are at a complete standstill. --- It is just a little encouraging to note that some parts of the South are again getting ashamed of that section's rotten lynch-murder record. This is indicated by the pains taken in Georgia, which leads in lynching, to suppress reports of the reign of terror, inaugurated near Bartow and continued to date. Five persons murdered, six severely beaten and fourteen homes burned to the ground is the astounding record to date. --- Foreigners dominate the business of Harlem, our section of New York City, making thousands of dollars in profits every week, most of which should go to our business men. This same condition obtains in nearly every large city in this country having any considerable Afro-American population. Our people are too busy establishing banks, insurance companies and other larger business enterprises, nearly all of which fall sooner or later, to pay any considerable attention to smaller business opportunities. --- C. Garton Swain, secretary of the Civil Service Commission of Cleveland, announced, Wednesday, that Troy Thomas' affidavit-charge, that he was dismissed from the service of the city because he refused to contribute $1 every pay-day (two weeks) to the 11th Ward Republican club which it seems is dominated by Councilman Lawrence O. Payne, should be presented immediately to the Civil Service Commission of Cleveland for investigation, by Mayo Fesler, secretary of the Citizens League, or someone else. Thomas was a "white wing." Just how small the average prejudiced "leading" Americans particularly southerners, can be is best illustrated in the fight they are making on the southern Afro-American under the NRA. They compromise the government, in their fool effort, and hold the entire country up to ridicule by all foreign countries. A starting expose of this condition of affairs, particularly in the South, was made when Senator Copeland of New York State had read into the Congressional records the strong radio address the Hon. Jas J. Hoey, U. S. collector of in- PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR APARTMENTS Inc A cooperative housing project founded by John D.

Mr. Hoey's address was one of the most fearless speeches, in favor of a "New Deal" for our people under the NRA, made to date. THAT HAWAIIAN SCANDAL. From Washington, D. C., comes an announcement of the institution of divorce proceedings by Lieut. and Mrs. Thos. Massie, the former connected with the U. S. Navy. This appears to be the last echo of that Honolulu scandal of several years ago in which a fine, manly native Hawaiian athlete played a leading role, having been lynch-murdered in the island by the Massies, her mother and a couple of enlisted men of the U. S. Navy. The Washington report referred to announces that "Lieutenant Massie, now stationed at San Pedro, Calif., wants his wife, or Honolulu notoriously, to go to Reno and get a divorce" and that "Mrs. Massie says that while personally reluctant to do so, she will, however, go to the Nevada city." Following the granting of the divorce, the report announces that "she will return to Washington, D. C., to make her residence." The Massie-Honolulu affair was one of the most distressing things of the kind ever to happen anywhere in the world. A young Hawaiian's life was sacrificed on the altar of southern American prejudice in the usual southern way. There were rumors that all was not well in the Massie family at the time of the Honolulu scandal, Mrs. Massie's association with other naval officers being referred to in the daily press. COSTIGAN-WAGNER BILL Mr. Walter White, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., has announced a drive to raise $5,000 for "the establishment of a political headquarters at the nation's capital," something we should have had for the last twenty-five years at least and a thing that should be established not only for the purpose of promoting the enactment of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, but that should be maintained for all time. This, too, regardless of the fact that there is little or no chance of the enactment of such a bill by the present southern Democratic controlled Congress. Nevertheless, this effort should be made even the eminent Republican and Democratic jurists and statesmen of the country have for years stoutly maintained that The Congress has not the right or power to enact an anti-lynch-murder law that would prove constitutional because the right to do that rests with the several states of the Union, coming under the head of "police-power." The Costigan-Wagner bill, as a law, would bring about, when necessary, the co-operation of the government with the state against mob violence, particularly lynch-murder, it is claimed. This may and may not be possible. Only the U. S. Supreme court can deter PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR A cooperative founded by John 2594 Seventh Avenue The Improvement of the For America In Other Cities of Our Which Have Been Afraid Negro Labor From Is Vital to the These Cities WHY BUY RENT BECEIPTS?

While our pioneer Ohio Mob Violence act or Anti-Lynching law provides that the near relatives of the deceased can recover $5,000, the Costigan-Wagner bill's provision is for only $1,000, but provides additional "penalty in the shape of five years' imprisonment or a $5,000 fine, or both, for any state officer who failed to exercise diligence in protecting those in his charge from mob assaults, or who neglected to do his part in apprehending and convicting lynchers." The federal courts would have jurisdiction to try and to punish. A supplementary act to the Ohio law provides automatically for the prompt removal of the sheriff who is negligent in this respect. Prime Sport News "The Keed" Ordered! "The Keed" Ordered! The New York State Athletic Commission has ordered Kid Chocolate to accept a challenge within within the state of New York, San Francisco or lose its recognition as world's featherweight champion. Klick "knocked out" Chocolate in Philadelphia, recently, in an overweight match and promptly filed a challenge for another bout with the Afro-Cuban at the class-weight of 126 pounds. You can imagine what the Kid will do to Frankie on the occasion of this second bout. It will undoubtedly be what he recently "handed" a fighter by the name of Wallace who makes his headquarters in this city—a thoro lacing. If he wins, he will have a kid born of late, he developed the habit of "tolling" his opponents by permitting them to win the first contest. This usually results in a larger purse for the second bout which up-to-date he has always won. WANTED A BABY A Wife Stole One for Her Husband to Keep a Promise— One Word New York City—Fulfilling a promise made her husband that she would present him with a child put Mrs. Margaret Stackhouse (white), a middle-aged woman in jail, the first of the week, charged with kidnapping 24-day-old Patricia Luciano. The husband, a member of the race, is held on the same charge. Patricia was taken from her East Side home, last Tuesday, by a woman who represented herself as a nurse from the home relief bureau. She left with Mrs. Luciano a typewritten note telling of an "infants" party at which Patricia was to receive clothing. Mrs. Luciano identified her baby girl in the Stackhouse home.

OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against the Mob and Lynch-Murder—Three Years' Work of a Member of the Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law. 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: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Person recompensable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2). costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10). Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping. Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as here provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars or in any other manner of disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282 The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, and ceiving an amount equal to a child's share, there being widow or minor children surviving such deedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6233. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6244. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery as described in Section 6286. Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11. Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith'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 museum, entertainment 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 or 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.

LITTLE AMERICA AVIATION and EXPLORATION CLUB LITTLE AMERICA ★ ANTARCTICA With Byrd at the South Pole by C.A. Abel Jr. President U.S.N.R. ON BOARD THE BYRD FLAG- SHIP, JACOB RUPPERT:— (Via Mackay Radio). "Today your lives were in the hands of God and the engine room. If either had failed, you would all be dead men tonight!" This is what Commodore Gjertsen told us at dinner tonight (December 26) and it made me realize more than anything that has happened since this trip began, what deadly realities we are up against. For four days we have drifted around in the fog, half the time with a howling northwest gale try- northwest gale give treat to destroy us it is getting cold as the deuce. And if we had anybody less experienced and cautious than Commodore Gjerten, a small but amazingly forceful Norwegian ice expert, and Cap tain Verieger G. O. Shirey ship through what must be the world's most dangerous waters, the gale would have accomplished its purpose against us—the gale and the icebergs. We have not been able to see more than three miles since last Friday and usually only a few hundred yards. And we've made only 56 miles since noon Saturday. Thousands of icebergs go plunging past us in the gloom—some of them five miles long, two or three miles wide and estimated at 1,000 feet or more from high tip to submerged bottom. If we ram our 11,000 ship into one of them or run over the submerged part of it—well, the Titanic did that, you know. Or if one of them rushes at us out of the invisible distance and crashes into the side of our ship, it will be just too bad. But our wise and able skippers know their stuff and are performing miracles of judgment and steersmanship every minute every day. This morning, however, they met an enemy they hadn't counted on—water—water in the oil. in the midst of our work of dodging these moving ice mountains, stopping to let them drift by, or dashing out of their way, the engine room reported that some water which had leaked into the starboard tank had risen through the oil, had been pumped under pressure to the burner nozzles and had extinguished the flames which keep us going by making our steam. By the time Chief Engineer Queen had switched to the port tank and had begun to revive our lost steam pressure, our ship had lost practically all of her headway and for more than an hour we drifted in a 50-mile gale almost From India's Cor To Greenland That's the way the lines of that to apply in this instance.

From India's Coral Strands THE TEA PARTY That's the way the lines of that grand old hymn should be reversed to apply in this instance. During the stay of the famous Norcross-Bartlett "expeditioners" of 1933 in the frigid north for four months, the Eskimos of Arctic Igloolik and vicinity got their biggest kick from their southern visitors when the latter served steaming hot tea on ice-cake tables. Captain Bartlett says that every time he served tea, plucked and cured in far away India, to the natives of the land of the midnight sun, the latter pleaded for, and were given, a stock when the visitors left for other exploration sites. FOOLISH QUESTIONS-NO. 407, 308 WHAT'S THAT, A SCHOOL? NO, THAT'S THE OLD PEOPLE'S HOME, BUT THE PURE, FRESH AIR AROUND HERE KEeps THEM LOOKING LIKE CHILDREN! ```markdown ``` PETER HARRIS helpless. Then the steam returned and we resumed our game of tag with the strange moving city of ice. It made us think serious thoughts. I have learned, to my surprise, that ice is a noisy thing. The waves, as they splash against these mammoth bergs, eat great holes in them, in which the plunging water roars in a thousand hollow keys. The smaller bergs and cakes, as they gallop by us or we push our way through "leads" in their tightly packed mass, give out strange growling sounds and the constant ringing of the bell signals from the bridge to the engine room, all help to make it anything but quiet around here. Speaking of sounds, I had a funny experience today. I was leaning over the starboard deck rail looking at the restless sheets of ice as we ploughed through them. No one else was on deck. Suddenly, from some place off the ship, I heard a gruff voice yell, "Hey! Hey!" I saw nobody. Again it was clicked. I crossed to the port rail in time to hear the angry call right below me. And on the ice was a small Adelle penguin, about 18 inches tall, running along on the drifts with a perfect Charlie Chaplin waddle, keeping up with the ship and turning his head every few seconds to look up at us angrily and cry, "Hey! Hey!" just as a farmer might shout at boys stealing apples. He was protecing this steel monster blustering through his icy domain. And, as I watched him, he flopped over and started to toobogan along on his breast, pushing himself along frantically with his flippers and sculling with his feet. Then he became upright again, running alongside, glaring at us and yelling "Hey! Hey!" He was a scream. We had a swell Christmas. Gifts from the home folks — music—songs—a grand dinner with turkey and wonderful fixings. All our troubles forgotten for a few hours. I hope all members of our club had as pleasant a Christmas and that we shall have a happy and interesting new year together. They tell me the maps we are sending to all members, without charge, will go to them in a few days now, so they can mark on them the wonderful flights and other exploration trips Admiral Byrd and others are going to make.

C.—WNU Service. WITH the recent completion of the 20-mile dike, shutting out the North sea, the Zuider Zee (South sea) becomes a lake called the Ijsselmeer. It is a much smaller body of water because 550,000 acres of the old Zulzer Zee bed are being reclaimed to furnish needed land for The Netherlands's fast growing population. The Zulzer Zee itself was a small lake fed by a mouth of the Rhine river in pre-Roman days, discharging its surplus water through four or five small creeks into the North sea. Later it spread itself over the surrounding region. Nobody could prevent its flooding its way from the center outward through swampy country, nor could anybody in those days keep the North sea from plunging its breakers into the creeks, undermining their banks and widening their channels. But the area of dry land between the slowly rising lake and the narrow strip of sand dunes along the North sea shore, never large enough to feed an ever-increasing population, soon became too small for comfort. Besides, by conquering others, some of the warring counts and barons succeeded in assuming authority over parts of the country large enough to crystallize the necessary nuclei of civilization and to try experiments in wholesale engineering. About the time matters were put right in the western part of the country, there was a succession of gales from the northwest, and when they had calmed down Lake Flevo (for so it was called) and the North sea had combined into an inland sea covering an area of about 1,000,000 acres, from which only two diluvial hills emerged: the islands of Urk and Wieringen. The narrow belt of sand dunes had been broken into a string of small islands by deep and widening channels, through which the tidal streams surged in and out every 24 hours. There the Dutch were, with a young and spirited Mediterranean right in the place where every other self-respecting country has its center! They Made an Inland Sea. "What are we to do with it?" people asked one another on that memorable February morning when at last the Azores anti-cyclone reasserted itself, and the sun rose over a choppy sea covered with the timber and straw of many houses—as houses went in those days—and a lot of bodies, too. The flooded area had been a densely populated stretch of country yielding splendid crops quite in a natural way. Of course, they could not do anything with their new-born Zulie Zee (South sea), but they took jolly good care at least that it did not grow into an ocean. They put a big dam around it, right on the spot where the water had been highest, and tried to forget their quarrels when a fresh string of depressions was felt moving across Atlantic. They kept their dike in order before all other things, and even from time to time reclaimed muddy banks and bays and what are called "wheels"-l. e., the circumference of eddies forming on the inside of a flooded stretch of higher land. Comparison of a map of 1400 with one of 1900 disclosures that a lot had been done by those gangs of navies—both medieval and modern—and by the southwestly winds carefully trained to turn Dutch four-bladed mills, to restore a streamline-like quality to the ragged boundaries of the Zulder Zee. For five or six centuries at least Dutch engineers had to be content with keeping the Zulder Zee within bounds and improving the windmill-driven drainage system of the low-lying districts. Between wars, they amused themselves by thinking out plans for reversing the circulation of water for purposes of inundation, thereby exacting watchdog service, as it were, from "the savage wolf gnawing at the heart of Holland," as some poet puts it. In this way they get rid of a good many invading armies, not by drowning them—merely wetting them thoroughly, say, up to the armpits. Start of the Reclamation. Besides keeping the dikes in repair under the co-operative scheme still in existence, those Seventeenth-century Dutchmen tried reclaiming bays and lakes, rather clumsily at first, but gaining experience as the interesting work went on, and ways and means were improved gradually. The four big lakes, Puriner, Beemster, Schermer and Wormer, lying to the north of Amsterdam, were attacked and drained by wind power only. The biggest lake of them all, Haarlemmermeer (to the southeast of the center of the bulb-growing district, the city of Haarlem), withstood all efforts of the winddriven pumps to the end. It was only after the steam engine had been developed into an efficient power plant that the fertile bottom of this lake was added, between 1848-53, to the "ground floor" of Dutch territory and sold or given to colonists from different parts of the country. Though the first daring plan for the Zulder Zee's reclamation appeared in 1667, the work of draining this huge lake, even as late as 1850, would have been as stiff a feat of engineering as driving a tunnel through St. Gotthard or bridging Niagara falls with planks on trestles. But engineers and statesmen began to speculate about the Zulder Zee, and to weigh the pros and cons of the problem. Reclaiming the Zuider Zee would obviously include the building of a big inclosing dam (to avoid draining the Atlantic) on a mud bottom right across the sea, and the establishment of pumping units capable of swallowing permanently to the last drop the ever-flowing waters of the Rhine mouth feeding the inland sea, and discharging them at some point where they could do no harm. Fertilizers were discovered and improved upon, and the way to the sandy wastes in Drente and Gelderland was opened to more than a million Dutchmen clamoring for a living. Holland saw the beginning of an industrial era, and so another million or so found bread and cheese, a bicycle, and a home waiting for them on leaving the factory. Five millions there were now, but the sixth was growing, and a seventh must be reckoned with in a near future. More Land Needed. Like Manhattan, the Netherlands now really had become much too crowded. Only, in the Netherlands it was not room for shops and offices that people wanted; it was homesteads and arable land. Far-seeing economists pointed out that something would have to be done. Why not get the Zulder Zee bottom ready to receive the eight million? In Dr. C. Lely the Dutch nation, in 1886, found the man it needed to turn it from its phase of fitful speculating into one of definite prospecting—and so on to the final execution of his comprehensive plan of 1891: to connect North Holland with Friesland by a heavy dam 90 yards wide and 20 miles in length, separating the waters of the North sea and the Zulder Zee; to inclose four of the most fertile parts of the resulting basin by smaller dams; and to put several big pumping stations to work to finish the reclaiming job. Because of the impossibility of draining the entire Zuluder Zee, a fresh-water lake, called Jsselmeer (Ysselmeer), after the River Jssel, which discharges its water into it, would be suffered to remain in existence among the four polders to be reclaimed. Doctor Lely, a gifted engineer, was minister of public works when the Dutch government, by an act of parliament of June 14, 1918, decided to put his plan into execution. On account of the economic depression following the World war very little progress was made during the first few years. But some kind of stability in prices, though on a much higher level than anybody could have expected, was reached about 1925, and work was started in real earnest two years inter. Though at first it had been intended to start reclaiming the four polders (reclaimed areas) only after the, inclosing dam had been completed, this plan has been abandoned since. As a matter of fact, the Northwest polder had been completely embanked and drained toward the end of 1930. This is the only one of the new polders that has been reclaimed; the other three will be ready about 1950. The Big Dam in 1930 consisted only of a few artificial islands where the sluices were in course of construction. The inclosing dam was completed on May 28, 1932, amid a pandemonium of sirens and whistles. The Dutch national anthem was broadcast around the continent at 12:55, during the expectant pause before the last bucketful of clay fell splashing into its place. CHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1934 NEW PARIS MODES AIM AT SIMPLICITY Achieved by Perfection of Line and Materials. Worth's mid-season collection sailed pretty gloriously through the barbed-wire entanglements of hard-time conversation and came out victoriously with a cocky little feather in its hat. Most of the items in this inbetween collection aim at utter simplicity, although they do achieve it through a perfection of line and the lucky and muscular choice of materials. The costumes for daytime usually are in wool or satin, without exaggerated tightness, or fullness anywhere, and the favored colors are darker shades—black, brown or navy—with the exception of one or two models which have been designed with a view to sunny days in the Riviera. The skirts, or frocks, are of moderate length, reaching the half of the calf. Ensembles are composed of a three-quarter jacket worn over the dress or skirt and blouse, with or without the complement of a fur waist-coat. X X X Here is exactly the type of dress to be choosing for campus, office or street wear. So new!—for more reasons than one. In the first place it is made of soft woolen with stripes for trimming and stripes are the last word when it comes to dress ornamentation. However, the feature which counts most of all is that owing to an ingenious slide fastener which is concealed under the belt the dress may be instantly adjusted to fit the figure perfectly. This brand new idea is being received with wide acclaim because it is something needed—a dress that can be made to fit without going through the tedious experience of altering to measure. STYLE NOTES Sparkling sequins adorn night- life frocks. Why not a blouse of bizarre striped jersey? Bandeaux and tiaras abound in the evening picture. New necklines call for ecclesiastical drapes especially mong hood-collars. If you don't wear a jabot under your chin, then wear a bow. You must have one or the other. Outdoor Styles Trending Toward Heavier Apparel Winter sports designers are trying to see how well they can wrap up their devotees. The classic Norwegian trousers, practical and attractive, are advocated. The pushing of the plus-four has not been so successful as it involves the stocking problem and anyone who has tried them, knows that woolen ones are not so waterproof. One winter sports designer is presenting canvas waterproofed spats, bound in leather. A costume of brilliant Scotch plaid wool, skirt and full golf trousers is shown with a skirt that you can put over them if you like. A little sleeveless waistcoat of heavily padded, quilted silk to wear under your skiing jacket for extra warmth is one of the warmer and more practical accessories. Much Gold in Fabrics Gold has gone a-wool gathering. There is scarcely a new wool fabric now on the Paris market that isn't just all warped and woofed up with gold threads running in all directions. Long Cloaks The long cloak, a favorite of the tall chic woman, is shown by several of the leading designers. It is generally made of velvet in such rich tones as midnight blue, navy blue or dark green. FUR USED IN MANY DIFFERENT STYLES Bring Warm, Rich Tone to the Winter Ensembles. The unexpected way in which fur has been used on Paris coats this winter may be considered as an indication of its new role in fashion. If the classical cuffs and collars still are to be seen, it is much more frequent to see fur used in many different ways. Worth has employed it as any other material—velvet, woolen, silk or lame, cutting and draping it as he would have done with any of these. Ermine, mink and other furs advantageously compete with the most supple materials, bringing a warm and rich note to a dress without prejudicing the slenderness of the ensemble. As an example, there is the model called Mounie. This cafe au lait beige frock has a modern air but with something about it also that is reminiscent of the period around 1880, with its fitting bodice buttoning up to the neck, and its tight sleeves with a puff at the shoulders. FLOWER NECKLINE By CHERIE NICHOLAS MARIE See that flattering ruche effect about the back of the neck and on the shoulders? It is composed of multi-colored velvet flowers. Make a mental note of this pretty velvet rose neckline effect. It is worth remembering when you start out to buy that next evening frock which you will be needing ere the midwinter social season draws to a close. And have you heard that it's voguish for sleeves to fail to make connection at the shoulders? This dropped decollette effect is very pretty achieved in the dress pictured, the material for which is a choice novelty silk which is woven in invisible checks and stripes alternating in wide sections. The princess silhouette so highly in fashion at the present time is maintained although an adroit shirring is introduced to one side. Ribene stone bracelets are worn in triplicate. FLASHES FROM PARIS Backless gowns continue in the evening picture. Filmy lace in black or a lovely color is favored for the dinner gown. Luxury blouses are fashioned of glamorous satins, velvets and lame weaves. Wools Take on Importance in New Styles for Winter General trends that are most important include the "knotty tweed" idea. This appears in monotone rustic cruise suiting with silky, fluffy knot decorations and in soap-smooth ratine yarn tweeds for typical fall spectator sports suits and coats. A noteworthy development in tweed suitings make them very supple and about 11-ounce in weight; this makes lovely monotone resort suitings in typical linen patterns. Much is done with the companion theme and according to early ordering it should be a big factor this spring. There are cashmere yarn homespun in companion plains and chevroons and a wide selection of amusing spaced block patterns—flashes of color on neutral grounds to make the jackets for plain skirts. Black Satin Taupe Toque Has Unusual Trimmings A hat that makes you laugh and love it is made by Roberte Cusey and is a toque in black satined taupe, trimmed with a pompon of glycerined ostrich feathers, perched right smack above the forehead and trickling down between the eyebrows. Another one by this modiste is a small brown suede affair, geometric in its angles and folds, worn with all the hair out of sight about the face. HOW WE LOST Who Again Turn Their Backs on Their Own People for Small Jobs for Constituents, Most of Whom, Like Themselves, Were Not Loyal to Davis. ONE OF PAYNE'S WORKERS ONE OF PAYNE'S WORKERS A pledge to do everything in his power to protect the merit system in public employment was made, last night, by Clayborne George, who yesterday was appointed by Mayor Harry L. Davis as a member of the Civil Service Commission for a six-year term to succeed Harry E. Davis.-Sunday's Plain Dealer, Dec. 31. '33. Four years ago, last fall, Councilman Clayborne George, when a candidate for re-election to City Council, made a pledge to his constituents when campaigning for votes, "to do all in his power to help out Director of Welfare Dudley S. Blossom, for his color-line stand in barring our internes from training in City Hospital and barring our girls from the nurses' training school in that public institution, maintained by all the tax-payers of the community. Did he keep that pledge? "The Blossom Triplets." George. Bundy. Payne. HE DID NOT! What is his latest "pledge" worth when one recalls his broken pledge of four years ago? With the election of Mayor Harry L. Davis, George was that to be in line for a cabinet post but (early in November last) made it plain that he did not aspire to the place.—Saturday's Cleveland News, Dec. 30, '33. Then George joined with the other two "Blossom Triplets" (Councilmen Payne and Randy) and went to Mayor Davis pleading for the apology as a cabinet member of a member of another group which was already represented in the mayor's cabinet in the person of Law Director Ezra Shapiro. Apparently, "The Blossom Triplets" were determined that our people should not have such representation, even one member of the Mayor's ONE OF PAYN Ever since "The Blossom Triplets" (former Councilman Clayborne George, Councilmen Payne and Bundy) secured jobs, several weeks ago, thru Mr. Maurice Maschke, former leader of the local Republican organization, there have been rumors of pay differences between the workers given jobs and of sums paid for other positions and jobs. There were rumors that jobholders in the 11th and 17th Wards were required to pay at least $1 every pay-day to the Republican club in their ward designated by the councilman. Not until this week has there been any definite information in support of any of these rumors. We are giving you Roy Thomas, a World War veteran who was given a job in the white wings department of the city's service and "fired" after his second pay-day because of his steadfast refusal to pay the money into the club organization he says Councilman Lawrence O. Payne demanded. The forced "contributions," each pay-day, of the poorest paid city employees, just when they need so greatly every dollar they earn, is a species devoid of tribute to the people of others, the Democratic organization in the 12th Ward was guilty of a year or more ago, and a miserable precedent for a Republican organization to follow when times are worse than they were a few years ago. Troy Thomas' Afidavit. State of Ohio, Cuyahoga County, SS. Before me, a Notary Public, in and for said county, personally appeared Troy Thomas, a veteran of the World War residing at 2378 E. 46th St., who being by me duly swnor deposes and says as follows. On November 19, 1933, I was give en a small sheet of paper to a superintendent in the street depart- ment, located at the corner of E 24th St. and Rockwell Ave. Cleve GAZETT who might Su cabinet, when we are entitled to two because our vote constitutes practically one-third of the Republican vote of the city of Cleveland and there are seven members of the Mayor's cabinet. Lord, have mercy! What is the pledge of such a person worth? Six years ago, the Hon. Harry E. Davis, whom George succeeded, was appointed a member of the city's Civil Service Commission. Whereupon Clayborne George, a Republican member of the City Council, announced, publicly of course, that he would NOT vote for the confirmation of the Davis appointment but intended to vote for Davis' Democratic opponent, Ex-Councilman Orlikowski, and stuck to that determination right up to the very night the Council acted. It was only the "mass pressure" of our people of this community that finally convinced me of his confirmation. Even then he arose in Council and gave that august body the silhouet "explanation" (of his vote) ever heard in the Council chamber of this city. Now he has been appointed to succeed Davis the he is a "lame-duck" councilman who at the recent election polled the smallest vote, as a candidate for a judgeship of the Municipal Court, ever received by an Afro-American judge. He simply was not in the race at all, judging by the small vote he received. Our people of this community, for good and sufficient reasons, simply could not "see" his candidacy. George had served six years in City Council and his constituents of the 18th Ward and the second district had also surely nothing to show for the three terms he served. His support of Color-Line Welfare Director Dudley S. Blossom in the City Hospital controversy was not enough, it seems. Now comes his somewhat similar act of disloyalty to the race in his opposition to the appointment of a member of the race to membership in the Mayor's cabinet, and his support of a member of another group, which was already represented in the Mayor's cabinet, again turning his back on his people. Little wonder, therefore, that his appointment of last Saturday to the Civil Service Commission, irritates rather than pleases the great mass of the loyal members of the race in this community. Hon. Harry E. Davis, who has been chairman of the Civil Service Commission for a year or two, was the first Afro-American to be chosen a member of that body. He was appointed in 1927, when he the commission was asked by the Civil Service to serve four terms in the Ohio Legislature. Immediately after Mayor Davis' election in November, some of George's friends started to urge his appointment as a member of the Mayor's cabinet, but George indicated that he did not want such a position, saying that our people did not ask and were not expecting such recognition at that time. Can you imagine it? The civil service commissioner has been the first to pay $2250 year, while a cabinet member gets more than twice that amount. land, O., which secured me a position in the white wings department, and I was placed to work on Prospect Ave. between Ontario St. and E. 9th St. This slip of paper, referred to in the foregoing, was given to me by Councilman Lawrence O. Payne in Payne's office. 2327 E. St. or between Ontario St. and or about Dec. 9, 1933. A few days after my first pay-day, Councilman Payne met me a few doors from my home, which is located at 2378 E. 46th St. and said to me: "You know when these jobs were given, everyone agreed to give a dollar of each pay for the 11th Ward Republican club," and I said: "It wasn't explained to me and I don't know anything about it." A few days later, he sent my contact committeeman (Means) to me who said: "Payne said come over or else send that dollar, and I told him to go gobble, and refused to send me. The third day after I got paid, about Dec. 12 or 13, 1933, the foreman (Dec) of the white wings department came to me on E. 4th St. and told me I had better go and see Payne. And I said: "For what? He said: "For that dollar you are supposed to pay." He told me that I wouldn't work any longer if I didn't pay it. On or about Dec. 28, 1933. I received my second pay and was told by Foreman Gray to come to his home on Sunday, Dec. 31, 1933, for a club meeting. At that meeting he again told me that Councilman Payne wanted to see me. And I said: "For what? He said: "For that dollar. You haven't paid any." I said: "I will see him," and he said: "You can't catch him to the house now and he home and see him." After the meeting, I went to Mr. Payne's, 2222 E. 40th St. He invited me in and asked if I was or was not going to pay the dollar. I told him I didn't see that I should pay any dollar for my job. He told me that I wouldn't have any job and I wouldn't use any for him to hold the gate open for one man because all the rest were paying it. I told him regardless of that I wouldn't pay it. Gray fired me on Jan 4. Greer fired me on Jan 4. 1934. And further affirms not.

My commission expires June 7. 1936. A PAYNE AND A CRIPPLE Robert Lawson, more than 50 years of age, 2354 E. 30th St., was given a letter to Mayor Harry L. Davis, several weeks ago, which the latter read and promptly promised him a job. The first of last week when Robert, better known as "Hooefey" Lawson, went to the mayor or again, the latter sent a man him to Service Director to give "Hooefey" the job promised. The Director sent "Hooefey" to Street Commissioner Jack Tomson with instructions to the latter to "place Hooefey." Jack told him to return immediately to Director Eirick. It seems that in the brief period between the time "Hooefey" left Eirick and got to Tomson, Councilman Lawrence Payne registered with Eirick a lusty "kick" against "Hooefey's" being given a job, so "Hooefey" claims. Nown't she fine? Time to fight, they councilman fighting a little cripple who has been out of work for two years and who is unable to assist a sister, partially dependent upon him. Hurrah for Payne! a "Blossom Triplet." "Hooefey" has been a "slave" to the Republican organization, in that section of the city, for many, many years and always a supporter of the councilman. He can offer that will justify his fight to keep "Hooefey" out of sorely needed employment. PUNISH THAT MOTOR-MAN PUNISH THAT MOTOR-MAN. The Gazette has been asked, repeatedly in recent weeks, when the local N.A.A.C.P. branch is going to take special special laws (Gabriel Farkas) arrested and punished for carrying a gun and for shooting that 15-year-old lad of the race who lives in E. 86th St. Two charges, one of toting a gun and another for the shooting, ought to be brot against him immediately, independent of his parents' suit for damages against the Cleveland Railway Company. It is even more important that these charges be placed against Farkas than that the Cleveland Railway Company be sued for damages. The criminal case will help ALL of our people of this community while the civil case (for damages) will only help the family of the boy. This is a duty that the lobe of a branch owes our people, particularly our organization, that these charges be placed against Farkas than that the Cleveland Railway Company be sued for damages. They are entitled to this return. The two charges against that Scovill Ave. motorman should be filed at once and pressed vigorously, for reasons stated. Teach the motormen and conductors of the Cleveland Railway Company what and that they are not seem to know, and that they are not right to carry a gun and certainly no legal right to shoot any one who steals a ride on the street-cars. There is absolutely no excuse or justification for such criminal acts. Chief of Police Wowitz, some weeks ago, promised to press a "drive against gun-toting without let-up." The pope said a very weak start, failed to "frisk" a very weak conductors who still brag of the they ARE toting guns, and arrested only one citizen whom they thaw was carrying a gun. The N.A.A.C.P. local branch should "step on it." The defeat of Clayborne George's candidacy for a municipal judgement was expected, because too many of our people were opposed to his candidacy for several very good reasons, first, being his disloyal course in the Blossom-City Hospital matter. Next, his utter failure, as far as our people of the fourth councilman he had the city are concerned, as a member of the council. Then there was the very general belief that he lacked, woefully in several respects, the essential necessary to fit him for a judgeship. The fact is, he did not make as good a showing as our other candidates for the position in the past—Attys, the former inmate and m. R. Green (deceased). However, the future, it will be the part of candidates for us to see that only those candidates of other groups or races are favored by our people who live in wards that give our candidates for office the "break" they ask. Clayborne George's political career in this city, during the past six or seven years, is hardly a thing to be proud of when one considers it from a race-loyalty viewpoint. This same is true of the political careers of the other two "Blossom Triplets," Councilmen Payne and Bundy. When will our people ever wake-up to their kind? It is simply impossible for those of the race in any community to progress with such political longs their backs. According to our contrarian Wendell Phillips Dabney of the Cincinnati (O.) Union, Cincinnati was burdened with much the same kind of a political stumbling-block, only wow if that be possible, in the person of one Councilman Frank Hall, who was defeated at last fall's election when our people of this city should have rid themselves of the Payne Bundy political incubus. Whither are we drifting. Will the man who was struck by an automobile at the east end of the Lorain-Carnegie bridge at 5:30 P. M., Thursday, Dec. 14, 1933, or his relatives or friends, call CHerry 1259. Have important news for the injured man.
