ABTISTIC BENDITION Of Choral Music by Two of St. John's Choirs—Grist the Solist. The whole range of our choral music, from the early spirituals to the comparatively recent works of composers like Dett, Burleigh and Coleridge-Taylor, was brought into comprehensive focus at the festival given a Double Music Hall Tuesday night by St. John's A. M. E. Senior and Gospel Choirs, directed alternately by Directors Carroll Scott and Robert Crowler. The program also contained two original numbers by Mr. Crowler. Herbert Ellert, local music critic, said Wednesday morning, in the Cleveland Plain Dealer: "Take the baritone, Augustus Grist, Jr., who sang several solos. Notwithstanding the imperfections of his vocalism, such as a slight tendency to sharp at times, he sings with a simplicity that is disarming, and the really admirable tone of the mirror of the purity and sincerity of his conceptions. The accompanists were Bernice Crowler, James Lemon and Kathleen H. Forbes." Both Scott and Crowler are doing splendid work at St. John's. Frank R. Crosswaith, Socialist leader and organizer, will address two meetings, tomorrow, one in the office of the Labor Institute and the other in the evening at Northeast Y. W. C. A. HEAR! HEAR!! T The Cleveland Bar association paid Atty. Alex H. Martin a high compliment, recently, when it endorsed him (the only Republican) for appointment by Gov. Geo. White (Dem.) to the vacancy on the local Common Pleas bench made by the death of Judge Thos. H. Kennedy. Rev. Horace White, who has pastored Mt. Zion Cong. church very successfully ever since the departure of Rev. Russell S. Brown, has been called to the pastorate of the church. Rev. White is an able, active and very pleasant young man who developed an engagement. He has already made marked improvement in the general condition of the church. Hon. Perry B. Jackson is a member of the committee of nine to nominate fifteen candidates for county charter commissioners. Ex-Mayor Newton D. Baker (Dem.) is chairman. The city manager form of government was such a dismal failure in Cleveland that The Rounder fails to see why such a form of government should be foisted on the county, about all of the many sections of which are bitterly opposed to it. Wards 11, 17 and 18 (Councilmen Payne, Bundy and Hubbard's homewards) have double the number of employees at the garbage-plant and elsewhere in the city that Ward 12 (Councilman Finkle's home-ward) has, and many of them are working more days than the usual week. Last week several of the Ward 12 garbage-plant employees went to the superintendent of the plant and protested vigorously the favoritism being shown their coworkers from Wards 11, 17 and 18. Guest of President and Mrs. Roosevelt Washington, D. C. — President Stenio Vincent of Haiti, guest of President and Mrs. Rooseveit, three days this week, arriving Monday, was entertained by them at lunch, Tuesday, and remained at the White House throut the afternoon to make a plea for the removal of American control of the Haitian republic finances when the American marines are withdrawn in October. WAS ARTHUR THE FIRST? It is said that Chester A. Arthur, who practicing law in New York City, before being elected president, succeeded to the presidency at the death of President Garfield, was the first man to establish our civil rights in a court of law. In 1858 he prosecuted a law suit for a woman of the race who had been put off a horse-car because of her racial connection, and won the case, forcing the car company to admit our riders on equal terms with all others. OUR "WINDY CITY" NOMINEES. Chicago, Ill.—Hon. A. H. Roberts, a member of the Illinois Senate for ten years, was defeated at the recent primaries. Representative W. E. King was nominated a candidate for the Illinois Senate. DePriest was nominated. Representative Chas. J. Jenkins and Ex- Representative Warren B. Douglass were nominated. Dr. Richard A. Williams was nominated for county commissioner and Atty. Wm. H. Hayes for associate justice of the municipal court. Reporter Hammond was nominated for the state senate on the Democ- tric ticket. APRIL 21,1934 THE N. A. A. C. P. Certainly Is an Organization at Sea — Linked Up With the Democrats — Internal Struggles — DuBois. Lately our press has been teeming with articles describing the internal struggles of the national office of the N. A. A. C. P. The stories make great drama. Dr. Wm. E. DuBois, editor of The Crisis, is obviously losing faith, as has never been in hypnosis with the aspirations of the truly far-sighted members of the race; he is entirely out of harmony, today. What we are witnessing, however, is no healthy cleansing but a desperate struggle for power. Mr. Roosevelt's New Deal requires the assistance of a few capable but pliant members of the race. To the alienation of the race to tell out" 13,000,000 Afro-Americans will go money, power, and prestige. Walter White's appointment on the Virgin Island commission fits into the picture. The complete reversal of attitude by George Schuyler, columnist, who changes from a critic of the N. A. A. C. P. into a stanch, unquestioning friend is also understandable. Schuyler will be more or less like the powers that be. Maybe later editor of The Crisis. It is also interesting to note that the N. A. A. C. P. has secured space for the publishing, each week, in a certain periodical, of news from the association's branches. But all news-items must first be sent to New York for careful editing. True to form, the leaders of the N. A. A. C. P., Walter White, William Pickens, and Roy Wilkins, do not give any of our people, even though a branch leader, the credit for being intelligent enough to write a few lines of English composition. But the editor, with deeper significance, a deliberate attempt to prevent any branch from performing any act not approved by "the big boys" in New York. It limits branch activities to card parties and other money-raising schemes. As a reward for preventing the masses of our people from asking too much from a reactionary government in a period of growing reaction, to White, Pickens, Wilkins and Schuyler will go honors. They will be permitted to dine with the elect, to visit schools used in educational investigating committees. They will enjoy pleasant trips to distant places. Only one task will be asked of them in exchange for all these favors. They must teach the masses to stare quietly and peacefully. Every six months or so, they will be permitted to save an innocent Willie Peterson from the electric chair. The bountiful donors of favors will allow the future Petersons to languish in prison for life, as the present Willie Peterson predeceased him by the present governor of Alabama. And the N. A. A. C. P. will be permitted to speak of such generosity as a victory. The best days of the N. A. A. C. P. are over. From now on the leadership will be 100 per cent reactionary, while the rank and file will be rigidly in line. All battles will be sham battles. DePRIEST AT WILBERFORCE. Howard Delegates Visit the University—Gov. White to Deliver the Annual Commencement Address Wilberforce, O.—The College of Education of the University has been approved for membership by the American Association of Teachers' Colleges at a recent meeting in Cleveland. This recognition from the highest accrediting agency for Teachers Colleges in America means that the College will receive recognition in the future will receive recognition from departments of education in practically every state in the country. It also means that credits earned in this college should be good for face value in any institution in the country. The Howard University Dental School delegation from Washington, D.

EDITOR TROTTER PASSES ILL FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, HE EITHER FELL OR LEAPED FROM A ROOF 45 FEET HIGH. Born in Ohio—Splendid Career at School and College —His Trips to Paris and to the White House—Funeral Largely Attended. Boston, Mass. — William Monroe Trotter, age 62, died here, April 7, '34, as a result of a fall or leap from the roof of the three-story residence in which he lived. Trotter was born on Isaac's farm in Springfield Township, Ross County, Ohio, his parents moving to Boston when he was seven weeks old. His almost lifeless body was found on the sidewalk about 5:30 a. m. in front of his home. Exceedingly nervous, he had gone to the roof about midnight. His sister, Mrs. Maudie Steward, was with him until 11 p. m., April 6, '34. After she left, his landlady him left him to bed. About 5:55 a. m. April 7, 34 he was leaving his room by her room who followed to the roof but was too late to save him. He died in an ambulance en route to city hospital. A piece of coping was found near the body. This led his sister to believe that he had walked off the roof and then tried to save himself by clutching at the coping. William Monroe Trotter was the son of James Monroe Trotter, a Civil War veteran, who served as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia under President Stephen Grover Cleveland from 1887 to 1889. In 1886, Wm. Monroe Trotter was valedictorian of his grammer school and graduated from his high-school class in 1890; graduated from Harvard college in 1895, after winning four under-graduate scholarships, amounting to $950; won freshmen deturs, won Phi Beta Kappa in junior 8, the highest section, making him our first member of Harvard Chapter of this scholarship society; graduated A. B., Magna cum laude with A. M., to be conferred in 1900; and in 1901, Mr. Trotter's trip to Paris gave in 1919 to gain a hearing on an anti-proscription clause pending in the League of Nations, his fight on the "Birth (Rape) of a Nation," and his courageous speech in Richmond, Va.; his assistance in the organization of the Liberty Congress in 1917 despite orders to the contrary from Boston army headquarters; his seven trips to the White House in the interest of our rights which resulted in controversy with Presidents Thomas Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt and Wm. Howard Taft, and his frequent visits to the State House on matters of racial concern are the highlights of Requirement Wiped Out by the Ohi Civil Service—Good Work, Worker, Charge Dear Sir: Herewith find enclosed a copy of the official communication just received from the State Civil Service Commission.

THAT HOUSING MATTER Do Not Be Taken Advantage of by Real Estate Companies and Others Representing Them. once again, The Gazette warns our people who own property between E. 22 St. and E. 30th St. (both sides) and Cedar and Central Aves., not to sacrifice their property however much they are hounded and harassed by real estate companies or their representatives, be they councilmen or others. If you are not offered a fair value for your property, hang on to it until that particular thing is decided in either the federal courts. Do not allow threats, talk of any kind to force you into action, your property at a figure lower than its worth. Do not pay any attention to the "scare" articles which are again appearing in local daily papers. Authority for appraisal of an area in the vicinity of Outhwaite School, where Maire & Walsh, architects, have designed a housing project, and of an area near Whisky Island where Joseph A.

Washington at lunch in the White House, the damphool prejudiced South "made a monkey of itself, throwing one fit after another" in the press of the country. One day, the first of this week, Democratic President and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt entertained at luncheon President Stenio Vincent of the "black republic." Haiti, and there hasn't been a murmur from this same damphool prejudiced Democratic source, the South. How come? At its regular monthly meeting, April 9, '34, in New York City, the board of trustees of the N. A. A. C. P. adopted a resolution which placed that organization firmly in opposition to "both the principal and the practice of enforced segregation of human beings on the basis of race and color." This was undoubtedly forced by the DeBois segregation speech in Chicago, several weeks ago. The next step of the board should be to separate DuBols from the editorship of The Crisis. This our people thrust the country demand and if that magazine is to live and prosper, it will be conceded as promptly as possible. Requiring applicants for positions and jobs to disclose the identity of their race and to submit their photographs was first adopted by the Civil Service Commission under the Thomas Woodrow Wilson southern Democratic administration. The surprise is that Republican state civil service commissions had the nerve to follow that lead. Representative Chester K. Gillespie is entitled to unstinted praise for his successful efforts to wipe out the evil under the present Democratic state administration. We trust Secretary Walter White of the N. A. A. C. P. will be successful in his efforts to have the Democratic federal civil service commission do the same thing. --- While Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter was ill, several weeks ago, an amendment to the Massachusetts Civil Rights law came up for hearing and was lost because our people of that state, whom it was intended to aid, showed no interest in it. That reminds the writer that many years ago when a member of the Ohio Legislature, we called upon our people of the state to sign and send petitions urging the members of the legislature to pass his Ohio Anti-Lynch bill. How many petitions do you suppose they sent? Not even one petition! They sure are much alike whether they reside in Massachusetts, Ohio or elsewhere 'in this country. LORD, HAVE MERCY! BOMBARD MILLS RESTAURANT. The refusal, last week Tuesday noon, of Mills Restaurant, 315 Euclid Ave., to serve Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two of the Scottsboro boys, and Atty. Leo Gallagher of the L. L. D., precipitated a Communist demonstration in front of the place, Saturday, that attracted thousands of people. The manager of the restaurant is said to have assaulted Mr. Gallagher, who claims to be suffering from two fractured ribs. The attention of the legal representative of the Mills Co. was called to the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights Law with the result that Mrs. Wright and other Communists of both races were accommodated in the restaurant, late Saturday. The I. L. D. opened a fight for the dismissal of the manager of the restaurant, which is still on. A large number of police witnessed the demonstration. MORE SEGREGATION? Federal money is going to be spent in Cleveland soon for the housing of young colored and white transient boys. It will be the aim of the government to rehabilitate these roving lads. The purpose is commendable. But will Mr. E. L. Worthington of the Y. M. C. A. please inform the public why he is so anxious to secure public endorsement of a segregation policy? He admitted, at a meeting held April 11 at the offices of the "Negro" Welfare Association, that there was absolutely no difficulty in handling an interracial boys' club on Prospect Ave. He is intelligent enough to concede that the Ys' policy of segregation is far from defensible. If he grants all this, then what is his aim and that of his associates in desiring approval of a segregation project to be maintained by government funds? How does he propose to check anti-social segregation tendencies by establishing more "jim-crowism"? There must be no segregated welfare institution in Greater Cleveland in which a penny of governmental aid is invested. Let the N. A. A. C. P. and the League of Struggle for Our Rights be on their guard. KELLY WRONG, AS USUAL. Kelly Miller of Howard University, Washington, D. C., in a write-up of William Monroe Trotter, says: "Newspapers with one voice—except The Guardian—bent the knee" to Booker T. Washington. That's where Kelly is wrong, again. "The Old Reliable" Gazette didn't bend any knee to Booker T. or anyone else—at that time or since. Continuing, Kelly says: "My attitude from beginning to now has been one of fair and just appraisalment void of one side partisan zeal and factional rancor. Mr. Trotter understood from the beginning that I never agreed with his views or methods." By this Kelly means that his position was between that of Monroe Trotter and Booker T.—two extremes. That explains why Miller has always been regarded as a "compromise" and never as a leader, and why Monroe Trotter, according to his (Kelly's) own statement, was unable "to wean" him from his "Booker Washington proclivities" and why "the files of The Guardian contain sharp criticisms" of his "non-impassioned attitude." It also explains how Kelly Miller was able to remain a member of the faculty, in the face of the latter's no of Howard University, under a prejudiced president of that institutious mistreatment of him and other members of the faculty, some of whom had manhood enough to resign and get out of the institution. TROTTER AND THOMAS. This race of ours, in the deaths of Editor William Monroe Trotter of Boston and Prof. Neval H. Thomas of Washington, D. C., has sustained almost irreparable loss. Apparently, it has no one to take the place of either. Both were real, honest, loyal, conscientious, exceptionally aggressive and able leaders, whether our people so recognized them as such or not. Many sane and sensible ones did, of course, and this means all capable of appreciating members of the race who stand boldly out in the open and fight in season and out for ALL the rights and privileges of American citizenship. We have few, very few indeed, who do this. Our so-called leaders, almost without exception, are "compromisers" of one kind and another, if not worse. They belong in the "jim-crow Negro" class. It is almost sacrilege to call them leaders, especially when we have in mind such real men as Monroe Trotter and Neval Thomas, both native Ohio boys whom we knew intimately for many, many years. We shall always be very proud of the fact that on different occasions in years gone by both Neval Thomas and Monroe Trotter have written the editor frankly acknowledging their indebtedness to "The Old Reliable" Gazette for the incentive and inspiration (to contend for all the rights and privileges of our people) they received while reading it in the days of their youth. CITY HOSPITAL Our members of the Cleveland City Council should be "on their toes" and see that the city of Cleveland does not enter into any contract with the executive board of Western Reserve University or any other organization or corporation for the "establishment of a board of five civic leaders to control the management of city hospital" in such a way as to bring about the reestablishment of the "Dudley S. Blossom color-lines" at that institution. Welfare Director David S. Ingalls, we feel sure, and knowingly permit city to enter into an agreement. Nevertheless, we is up to our councilmen to see that no such thing is done or a way paved to bring about any such insulting conditions. The City Council is expected to approve a plan designed by Mr. Ingalls to eliminate the threat of political interference in the hospital management. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

Congratulations! Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt will address our National Conference on Fundamental Problems in Education in Washington, D. C., May 11. The address will be broadcast. It is said that Major J. E. Spingarn, president of the N. A. A. C. P., is leading the effort to oust Prof. Wm. E. DuBois from the editorship of The Crisis (magazine). Hon. James J. Hoey, U. S. collector of internal revenue for the second New York district, who re-appointed four Afro-American employees in the department, has just appointed five additional Afro-American deputies, two of them young ladies (office deputies). Ben Parker, Missouri Pacific train porter, has just received a cash award from that company for repairing a broken steam hose, in December, 1932, when the temperature was 14 degrees below zero, saving the company approximately $10,000 and enabling the train to make its schedule time. Commander Robert E. Peary (deceased) and his faithful aide, Matthew Henson, a member of the race, are the only two civilized persons to ever reach the north pole on foot. Several Esquimos accompanied them. Henson was recently honored by the Explorers' club of New York City. Mr. W. E. B. DuBois is wrong about hotel and restaurant accommodations in Cleveland. We have more freedom here in this respect than almost any other American city. This, however, is due to the enforcement of the Ohio Civil Rights law which was sponsored by John Harry, the first governor in many of the state, why? Because "Negro" leaders are too timid to insist on its enforcement—Cleveland Call-Post. "A Million Dollar Wedding," given by Mrs. Katherine Peaks at Mt. Pleasant M. e.

It is made of every piece of wood we were able to bring from New Zealand or snatch from crates and boxes. It is some house! Inside it is 12 x 12 feet with windproof walls ten inches thick. In it we have all the comforts of home—well, not all of them, but a lot—including a stove, bookshelves and a big clothes locker. The house is just up and already it is half buried with snow. M. J. H.

We have several hundred books of various kinds and they are almost our most prized possessions. Yesterday I helped dig out of the snow the remains of the Fokker plane in which Leut. Com Schiosbach and three other men crashed the other day. It is a mess, but already Bill Bowlin, Schiosbach and Paul Swan are busy salvaging the motor and instruments for future use in some other plane. The rest of the aviation group are working hard flying supplies to Mountain House, our southern base, 123 miles away. You have already marked the first flight and tractor journey to this spot on your maps. Well, this is where Admiral Byrd, without another human soul anywhere near him, has gone to spend the long Antarctic winter. He will be absolutely alone in a tiny shack buried in the snow, observing And Now Doroth Knows H "IT'S desecration to make it other-rwise than the right way." Kenneth MacKenna explains with a burr as rich as the tea he brews. "Fir-rst scald the pot," he tells the noted actress in their most recent play. "By Your Leave," at the Ethel Barrymore Theater.

In the meantime, Dr. Thomas C. Poulter, of Dunedin, New Zealand, chief of our scientific group, will be in command here, with William C. Haines, of Washington, our head meteorologist, next in command. George Noville is executive officer of the winter camp and chief fuel engineer and I am his assistant. Little America is fast assuming the proportions of a real village. We now have nine wooden buildings and two big snow houses. The dogs are being kennelled in the tunnels under the snow. Little America looks like an old time frontier camp. We have all grown beards and everybody goes around bundled up to the eyes. Sealing parties are out on the ice every day getting part of our supply of fresh but awful tasting meat. Tractors are buzzing back and forth between our various caches and are doing wonderful work. The dog teams are in and out all the time and the air is full of airplanes. We have plenty to do, plenty to read and we have movies twice a week. And George Noville has gone out and got his ears frozen. Not serious, but painful and annoying and very funny to look at—three times their normal size. The temperature is averaging around forty below zero. They tell me that all of the officers, instructors and students of the Ryan School of Aeronautics at San Diego, California, have joined our club in a body, that the membership now numbers around 15,000 and that the personal messages which Admiral Byrd is sending from here to every teacher who enrolls a high school or college class in the club are making a great hit. All a teacher has to do to enroll a class is to send the names and home addresses of self and pupils with a three cent stamp or stamped addressed envelope for each, and membership cards and big working maps of the South Pole region will be sent all of them—with a radio message from the Admiral to the teacher. All others who wish to join the club, entirely without cost, and get membership cards and maps, should do likewise—send stamped, self-addressed envelope to Arthur Abel, Jr., President, Little America Aviation and Exploration Club, Hotel Lexington, 48th St. and Lexington Avenue, New York City, N.

YOUNG MEN, I CAN'T EMPY STRONGLY- SUCCESS ENTIRELY UPON HARD MEN OF URGE AFFAIR IS WRAPPED UP IN MY NOTHING BUT A WORK FUNERAL CAN DRAG MY DESK- 18 HOURS IN DAY'S WORK FOR 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. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitation 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 inending 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.) ment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 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 hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which 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, if such injury is permanent, damage from 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, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor or children surviving such person shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action against such person, killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which 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 judg- SEE US FIRST FOR AL JOHN S PRICES REASONABLE JEWELER AND Eyes Carefully Examined at 7709 CEDAR AVE., Cleveland, Ohio DR.

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 is contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 181.1.1.1) 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 1834. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, or public place, should conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty 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. GOODS IN OUR LINE R.

Monroe Trotter of Boston, we are reminded of what an unappreciative race we are. There was a man that gave his whole life, physical and mental, to the man he earned and inherited, in an unselfish effort to fight the battles of the race — but in the end — when aged and feeble, his publication, The Guardian, was lost to him because of non-support by the race. Sick, disheartened and disillusioned, whether by accident or otherwise, he meets an untimely end, and while he was still alive, he certainly was penniless. For what was his life fought—Clifford C. Mitchell, Chicago columnist. TRIBUTE OF EDGAR P BENJAMIN Trotter, the incorruptible, has passed on. I knew him throughout his entire public life, and, before as, his lawyer and his friend. Though few men saw eye to eye with him, none who knew him ever impugned his motives. If to be great is to give up family, fortune, friends and even actual necessities to labor unceasingly for a race, then Trotter was indeed a great man. Gradually we shall realize what a serious loss we have suffered. Trotter, the incorruptible, has passed on—Boston Guardian. A CHURCH CENSUS If some enterprising student in one of our local institutions of higher learning wants to delve into a novel field of inquiry, let him interview one or two hundred white students who have overcome challenges and ask each of them what he has ever done professionally to promote racial understanding in Greater Cleveland. We venture to assert that if the gentlemen interviewed are absolutely honest with the interviewer, nine out of ten will confess that they were wrong in advancing this necessary and concrete piece of social work. White churches today are composed almost entirely of conventional men and women who lead routine lives and think routine thoughts. It is the conventional practice for men and women of this type to be decidedly prejudiced toward minority groups; and it is not accidental, consequently, that the majority of white people seriously interested in combating racial prejudice are found outside of the church—they are the most violent and humane groups which they must hear from the prejudiced members of the cloth and distinguished laymen who talk about equality in the next world but lack the nerve to have a qualified student of the race problem address members of their own congregation. A religious interracial meeting held in Cleveland last year suffered entirely from this otherworldiness. Such little matters as how members of the race are going to eat, where they could work and play amid decent surroundings, and how full citizenship rights could be acquired were neglected elsewhere among the cheerful prospects in the next world. Consequently nothing of the slightest importance was accomplished. How to satisfy hunger happens to be a much more interesting and important subject, these days, for sensible members of every race.

Prepared by National Geographic Society, with assistance from Walt Disney. BUTCH bulb growers have enlisted the aid of the Netherlands government in their industry. Tulip growing once became a mania in some portions of the Netherlands. More has been written about that chapter in Dutch history, in fact, than its interesting warrants; but it is interesting because the mania began at a time when the Dutch government was engaged in naval expeditions to acquire territory, and taxes were so high as to be almost unendurable. That the sober Dutch would lose their heads over a flower at such a time is a phenomenon that speaks highly of the fascination of the tulip. Staulburg abandoned ordinary business to engage in the tulip trade, and a period of gambling began that could not result in anything but financial ruin for the participants. The mania started in France in 1635 and quickly shifted to the Netherlands. Once the gambling was under way, the plants about which it swirled became mere symbols. All trade was for tulips in the onion. Buyers would contract for "futures," risking enormous sums on the expected products of beds newly planted. A bulb of the "Admiral Liekens" sold for more than 4,000 forlins—the equivalent probably on current exchange of nearly 300 guineas. The "Semper Augustus," which had not increased rapidly since its introduction in 1623, was exceedingly scarce, and a single plant brought 5,500 forlins, worth at the time about 370 pounds sterling. Queer bargains were made, an example that seems particularly ridiculous being the exchange of one bulb for a load of grain, four fat oxen, twelve sheep, five pigs, two barrels of butter, 1,000 pounds of cheese, four barrels of wine, two hogsheads of wine, a bed-stead with its furnishings, a suit of clothes, and a silver drinking cup! At the beginning of the mania the buyers were real tulip fanciers who coveted the flowers, but these soon were shouldered out of the bidding by professional market operators who bought in lots and held for a rise. One successful broker made 60,000 florins profit in four months. Stole His Friend's Rare Tulip. That Dumas' picture of Isaac Boxell's machinations against his rival tulip grower is at least not impossible is proved by historic incident. A certain burgomaster of Holland used his influence to obtain for a friend a political post of some importance. Upon the friend's offering to make return for the favor, the burgomaster refused reward and asked merely to be invited to see the appointee's tulip garden. The invitation was forthcoming at once, and the visit was made. A few months later the appointee returned the burgomaster's visit. He went into his benefactor's garden and saw there a rare tulip which had been taken surreptitiously from his own. So furious was he at this discovery that he resigned his appointment, sold his estate, and left the country. With nothing of real value to support the trade, the mania rose to absurd intensity. Traders gathered at inns and marked bids on wooden plates. A bulb would be mentioned, and a prospective purchaser would jot down on his plate a tentative offer. The holder of the bulb would write down a much-inflated price. While the dickering was in progress, a small percentage of the amount in question would be set aside as "wine money," and the dealer would put this up in cash. When a price was reached that both buyer and seller would check on their plates, the sale was proclaimed; but no money beyond the wine fund changed hands in the inn. Profits and losses were wholly "on paper." On April 27, 1636, a proclamation of the states of Holland put an end to the wild speculation by rendering invalid all contracts in connection with tulips. Confusion resulted. Bulbs which had been bought for more than 5,000 florins were sold for 50. In the wholesale liquidation many traders were ruined. The bottom was out of the market, and holdings were disposed of at 1 per cent to 5 per cent of their cost. Despite all this furor the tulip fanciers, who had retired early from the market lists and were tending their flower beds, lost none of their enthusiasm. The fields around Haarlem and Leiden continued to glow just as they glow to this day. If a man produced a new and beautiful variety of tulip, he was sure of a ready market for it. Popular fads afford rich material for satirists in both literature and art. The tulip mania called forth not only serious horticultural essays by such men as Pierre Vallet, John Parkinson, and Lauremburg, but Juvenalian jibes by Petrus Hondius, who, in his "Dapes Inemptoe," 1621, had called people fools who devoted their entire gardens to flowers which bloomed for only a few weeks each year. Hondius was the leader of a group of writers who ridiculed tulips and tulip growers. The "Mania Pamphlets." Probably the Dutch government, alarmed at the extent of the bulb gambling, inspired some of the humorists to poke fun at the craze. A series of "Mania Pamphlets" was published in 1637, a few months after the disastrous liquidation. In these publications appeared drawings or cartoons showing the tulip "maniacs" in ridiculous antics. One skit pictured a group of traders sitting around a table under a gigantic foolcap, while toiling gardeners labored outside with baskets, rakes, and barrows, and a curious crowd looked on. The cartoon was titled "Flora's Foolcap." Another picture, "Flora's Carriage of Fools," represented a crowd of tulip fanciers in a wagon equipped with sails. All were admiring their tulips, and a queue of well-dressed folk followed the carriage with hands upstretched, begging for flowers. The original pamphlets were distributed in 1637, and in 1734, when a hyacinth mania threatened, they were reissued as a warning to speculators. Even after the mania subsided, gardeners pursued their hobby with such devotion as to provoke satirists to lampoon them. In 1688 Jean de la Bruyere wrote in his "Characters": "The lover of flowers has a garden in the suburbs, where he spends all his time from sunrise till sunset. You see him standing there, and you would think he had taken root in the midst of his tulips before his 'Solitaire'; he opens his eyes wide, rubs his hands, stoops down and looks closer at it; it never before seemed to him so handsome. "He is in an ecstasy of joy, and leaves it to go to the 'Orient,' then to the 'Veuve,' from thence to the 'Cloth of Gold,' on to the 'Agatha,' and at last returns to the 'Soltiaite,' where he remains, is tired out, sits down, and forgets his dinner; he looks at the tulip and admires its shade, shape, color, sheen, and edges, its beautiful form and callix; but God and nature are not in his thoughts, for they do not go beyond the bulb of his tulip, which he would not sell for a thousand crowns, though he will give it to you for nothing when tulips are no longer in fashion, and carnations are all the rage. "This rational being, who has a soul and professes some religion, comes home tired and half starved, but very pleased with his day's work; he has seen some tulips." Fancy Names for Tulips. English gardeners were not less enthusiastic than their fellows on the continent, and in the Tatler for August 31, 1710, Joseph Addison chaffed them in an amusing letter. Probably no other flower has been given in its several varieties such an imposing to "highfultin" names as have been bestowed upon tulips. In his letter Addison tells of taking refuge from a storm at a wayside inn. He overheard a group of men talking about Admiral This, General That, and Lord So-and-so. His interest intrigued, he asked his host to admit him to the distinguished company. Of course, the great personages he had heard mentioned proved to be varieties of tulips. His host took him later into the inn garden to see a bed of tulips. Addition admired several, but was laughed to scorn for his choice and told that his favorites were only fool's coats. The owner of the bed boasted that the small strip of ground, 20 yards long by two in breadth, was worth more to him than the best two hundred acres of land in England. Though the tulip has been the butt of considerable ridicule, it still appeals irresistibly to gardeners everywhere. The second Sunday in April is usually Tulip Sunday at Haarlem, and on that day the tulip is king. For miles bright blooms smile under golden sunlight. To the air passenger the country must look like a gaudy patchwork quilt; for there is no mingling of colors in a bed, a separate plot being devoted to each hue. The growing of bulbs is on a commercial scale, and no attempt is made at artistic arrangement. Indeed, the flowers are mowed off ruthlessly and used as fertilizer on the beds. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, APRIL 21. 1934 Chic Prints Stress Simple Styling Chic Prints Stress Simple Styling A HAVE you noticed how remarkably simple is the styling of the new print frocks? One almost gaps at their simplicity—straight narrow skirt, top part frequently in shirtwalt fashion or made ostensibly plain with sleeves which are either three-quarter or full length, often quite full at the armhole or that which is newest of all, fairly close-fitting from shoulder to wrist. Well now, this glaring simplicity is not mere happenance. Rather is it a deliberate ono on the part of designers to create along lines that are different. With all their seeming simplicity there is something about these new print gowns which bespoke the very opulence of high fashion. Of course the prints themselves are as new, as new-looking as can be both in motif and coloring. So much so that a last year's print sadly looks it by the side of a today's patterning and weave. For example, there's the new necktie prints such as the one which fashions the very good-looking dress to the left in the picture. To be clad in a frock of necktie print slik during the daytime hours is to declare yourself style-conscious to the last degree. This model is designed for immediate wear under one's winter coat. It plays up the idea of simplicity with consummate art. Note the dropped shoulderline, the scarf of self-print, the slim gored skirt and that which is of greatest significance, the new three-quarter sleeve. One of the joys of gay springtime is the stepping out in new and fashionable footwear, which is why we are HOOD COLLAR By CHERIE NICHOLAS Here's the latest—the hood collair which drops the fur to the back. As the season advances you will be seeing all sorts of hood-shaped collars and caplets. Many of them are made detachable, as for instance perfectly stunning hood-capes of furordered velvet designed to be worn with your new spring suit or cloth street frock. Charming will they also prove later on to wear with summary print frocks and afternoon crepes. Note that the body of the coat pictured is more fitted as to waist and more rippled as to skirt than in the winter models. especially calling attention to the smart black kid opera pumps which milady of the neckline-print frock is wearing. These pumps have a beautifully designed simple arrow motif at the side—just that touch which carries them out of the rank and file. The hat which tops this chic outfit is black felt smartly banded with white. The point about the print centered in the picture is that it has a navy background. The flowers are in tones of mulberry and white. Seeing that fashion has gone into "the navy" so wholeheartedly this spring, navy accessories are inevitable and so with this captivating spring frock accents of this color very modishly appear in hat, girdle and a chic pair of navy blue kid strap pumps with circular motifs piped in contrasting white. The thing you are bound to remember about the print dress on the seated figure is that it is smocked at neckline and sleeves. As a trimming treatment for prints here is real news. It is our prophesy that you will be thinking so excitedly over this idea you will resolve at once that it is exactly what you will do with the print frock you are going to make up in the near future—smock it! You'll love the color scheme of this print in the picture, too. It's tango red and beige. Sounds intriguing, does it not? Briefly we would call your attention to the new sheer wool prints and the mossy crepe prints and the handsome bordered prints all of which are headliners on the spring fabric program. $ \textcircled{c} $ by Western Newspaper Union. TWO-COLOR DRESSES AGAIN FIND FAVOR The two-color frock—once a high favorite but lately almost banished from the scene—is staging a fashion comeback. Though far from holding the spotlight, it is beginning to be seen again in women's spring wardrobes. Sometimes it appears in a frock which has a dropped shoulder yoke of one color and the body of the dress in another. Again it is seen in a model whose sleeves contrast with that of the frock, or a trim little dress that has a deep yoke of a contrasting hue. And there are other variations of the vogue for two colors. Lanvin puts cherry-red satin sleeves in a black afternoon frock and adds elbow bracelets of the same bright red satin. She designs a black wool frock with frilled epaulets, sleeves and small collar of apple-green satin and puts a deep U-shaped white wool yoke on a black wool frock to give a contrasting touch. Tweed Good, Serviceable Fabric for Spring Wear Another tweed season lies ahead. Once one has acquired the hardy habit of tweed it is impossible to give it up. If one wants durability, and a general all around good fabric friend, it is tweed, and now that weavers have become imaginative in color schemes, one's interest in tweeds is at fever heat. Don't forget that tweeds are not alone used by tailors, but by dressmakers. Not only coats and suits are made of it, but separate skirts, and very trim looking as well. The tweed hat and scarf combinations are popular, although a preference is felt hats with tweed. Inflammable Gown One of the most novel dresses for spring combines silk and straw. It is highly inflammable, therefore impractical, but it is a sensation. SPOTLIGHTING THE STARS . bee-bee-bee-bo-bo-bo-bo .
