WE DO OUR BEST
BETTER times have come to this family and to many others like it. Now at the close of a busy day they gather around the reading lamp for a quiet period of relaxation.
And the telephone, which was missing for awhile from the family circle, is back again. It has taken up its old job of smoothing out problems of household management and keeping the family in touch with friends.
If the telephone still is missing from your family circle, why not have it back? It does so much for so little. Just say the word and we'll install it in your home promptly.

COLUMBUS, O.—Our candidate for governor, the Hon. Clarence J. Brown, has taken a broad stand on the issue of a show in the following excerpt from his address delivered at the recent state campaign opening meeting held here:
"Human rights can not be disregarded. All races and groups that make up the cosmopolitan citizenship of Ohio must be given equality. In the past the 'Negro' has not always received a square deal from government. Our party stands pledged to oppose all discrimination against the 'Negro' in employment financed wholly by the state, the state funds, or in the administration of our relief. We have welcomed this great race into party councils and into all phases of party activity, and this welcome will never be withdrawn."
WILBERFORCE.—The university is unable to house all the students. More than 800 have been enrolled, to date. It is that that state aid will have to be asked to care for students from Ohio registering in the C. N. & I. (State) department, and sent by legislators in their respective counties or districts. These students get an education at a nominal sum.—Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Williams, the former a Democratic member of the C. N. & I. (State) department trustee board, visited their son, John, Sunday.—For years the need of a dietitian for the student-body has been keenly felt. The result is the recent selection of Miss Anne Weaver, of Kansas City, Mo., who received her bachelor's from Hampton, Va. Institute and Davis Institute, Chicago. Her experience was gained serving on Parkway "Y.", Chicago, and Anthony Nursery School, Washington, D.C.—A university bookstore has been opened. About $1,000 was advanced for the needed books and supplies. The store is in charge of Mr. John Gilbert.—For the first time in the history of the school, 200 gallons of preserves and jellies have been "put up," made from fruit from the institution's orchard.
SCOTTSBORO CASES
Again to Be Appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court—Patterson and Norris Execution Date, December 7.
New York City—The State Supreme court of Alabama refused, Oct. 4, to grant a rehearing of the Heywood Patterson and Clarence Norris cases and set Dec. 7 as the date for their execution. However, an immediate appeal to the U. S. Supreme court will be made by the I. L. D. which has retained Atty. Walter H. Pollak, who brilliantly defended the Scottsboro boys in the legal appeal to that court in 1932. Associated with Mr. Pollak will be Atty. Osmond K. Fraenkel who has been in charge of the legal work connected with the appeals since the Decatur, Ala. trial.

In a letter, relative to the Mrs. Lonnie Brooks case, Atty, Chester K. Gillespie writes the editor of The Gazette as follows:
"I desire to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your splendid co-operation in this case, and I do hope you will continue with your help as much as is possible."
The Rounder wants to ask Chester: What did "The Blossom Triplets" (George, Payne and Bundy) do to help you in the case?
Last week, 12th Ward city job-holders were notified by Councilman Finkle that they would be expected to give 25c, each pay-day, to help maintain the new headquarters in Woodland Ave. "The Blossom Triplets," Payne and Bundy, of the 11th and 17th yards, require their city job-holders to give at least $1, each pay-day, according to current gossip. Ward 12 has three inspectors (white) at the garbage plant in spite of the fact that about ninety per cent of the voters of that ward are "colored." While Capt. Jas. H. Beckwith receives the salary of an inspector, he is only traffic officer at the plant. "How come?"
Our Democratic committee of the 11th, 12th, 17th and 18th Wards held a largely attended meeting in Mt. Zion Cong. church, Monday evening, which was presided over by Norman S. Minor, assistant county prosecutor. The highlights of the meeting were the national objection told by a Jewish politician and Minor's announcement, while appeal for support of Atty. Alex H. Martin's candidacy for common pleas judge, that Mrs. Martin and Alex. H. Martin, Jr., were Democrats. The Rounder feels that since Mr. Martin's candidacy is non-partisan, it is a mistake for any one who responds unsuccess to so closely associate politics with his candidacy as Seby did.
Mayo Fesler, director of the Citizens' league, spoke, Sunday afternoon, at St. James' forum, urging support of the county charter committee slate, at the November election. Something our voters and all others ought not to do. Cleveland had a hard time getting rid of its charter form of government. Why help to create a charter for our visions, outside of this city? The great majority of them do not want it, either. It took three or four hard "anti-charter" campaigns to rid this city of that form of government, "a pain and a headache" and much worse than the form of government now being used. There is a "charter" organization in Washington, D.C., or New York City that promotes all theseights to seize control of charter schools and charters. Where does it get its money to finance them? It would be real illuminating to find out. Charter governments are great bond- producing agencies. Maybe bond-buyers are financially interested in the Washington or New York organization referred to. Stranger things have happened and you know
"Negroes" were referred to as "coons" by Dr. John F. Conners, head surgeon at Harlem, N. Y., Hospital, during a recent meeting of the medical board and nurses, who madeence of Negroes' crimes, who made only no protest when one or more of them should have slapped his mouth.

Thru the co-operation of the Electrical League and the many stores of Greater Cleveland, a month's display of low-price portable lamps which provide light for reading, sewing and study in accordance with the findings of the new Sight Saving Council, has been arranged. Hundreds of clubs and women's organizations have received invitations to visit these displays at the assembly rooms of the Electrical League in Builders Exchange Building, open to the public daily without charge and without anything being offered for the most needs being offered to the newest developments of the Science of Seeing, and offer suggestions for the proper use of light.
Special meetings at any place selected by women's clubs will be addressed by these trained speakers and actual demonstrations given.

Washington, D. C.—Reports reaching this city since the calling off of the nation-wide cotton textile strike, disclose with amazing clearness that the same interests which use an "iron fist" to insure the economic degradation of the poor "Negroes" in the South, are equally as ruthless against the poor whites when their power is challenged. When our cotton lumberjacks and whatnot attempt to take a stand against the intolerable conditions under which they suffer, they find themselves arrayed against not only the owners, but the police and military power of the state, and the poor whites, who are used by these latter agencies to help "keep the Negro" in his place." But there are comparatively few of our people in the cotton textile industry, and most of them are not organized. The police and military are unskilled, is monopolized by poor whites. During the recent strike, the poor white union workers were shot down ruthlessly. Whereas in many sections of the country, the police and national guard detachments sought merely to preserve peace and to protect property, the police and soldiers in the South were put on the back of the owners. Twelve of the fourteen deaths recorded were in the city. Clerks of the ranks of the striving white unionists, were shot in the back. At Honea Path, S. C. seven deaths were recorded, fifty per cent of the strike mortality. A coroner's jury learned from one youthful striker that in one instance a policeman fired three times into the back of a striker. Others gave corroboratory evidence, also to the effect that the first shot of the battle was fired by non-strikers into a group of unarmed pickets. Georgia, the "poor white" strikers, were more forceful in comparison camps in the same manner that Jews were herded by Hitler's forces in Germany. Wm. Green, president of the A. F. of L., was forced to telegraph Gov. Eugene Talmadge the following protest:

SOUTHERN CELEBRATION
Of the Local Y. M. C. A.—Eighty Years of Service—Cedar Branch's Participation
Capt. Chas. E. Frye, executive secretary Cedar Branch "Y," announced that it will observe the eighteenth anniversary of the founding of the local "Y" with an elaborate program which will open, Monday evening and continue thru Thursday, Oct. 18. During this period, the institution will

"Evidently you are allied with the mill owners, property interests and favored few as against the workers' human interests and the masses of the people. This is the position you have assumed thru your public utterances and your amazing use of the military powers of the state in the textile strike. In the name and in behalf of all of the officers and members of the A. F. of L, and of labor generally through United States military solon against your uncalled-for and in my opinion indefensible use of military powers during the recent textile strike."
Even after the termination of the strike the southern mill owners and the military united to "punish" the strikers. When strikers sought to return to their jobs at Gastonia, N.C., they were met by bayonets. At Concord, N.C., 200 strikers who returned to work were told that their jobs had been deemed to be deceiving, and then paraded to the courthouse, threatening to occupy and hold that building until the mill owners capitulated. Francis J. Gorman, vice-president of the textile union, has announced that President Roosevelt will be appealed to to force the textile manufacturers to abolish discrimination in employment. "The outrageous cases of discrimination from various parts of the country, particularly from the South, is in itself a defiance of the admonition of its head," Mr. Gorman said. The union official went on further to denounce the manufacturers whose business, he said, had been saved by the administration, but who were ungrateful and wanted to take everything for themselves and give nothing to others. Ordinarily these white workers, who have been shot down and are now being denied jobs because they belong to unions, join police officers and national guardsmen in the South to protest the fact that now in the position of having these "forces of iron" move against them, their families and their livelihood.

PASTOR'S PROTEST
The Participation of the Urban League in the Community Fund
—They "Battle"!
Columbus, O.—Coming shortly before the annual drive of the Community Chest Fund and its associated charities, our Ministerial Association of this city has filed a strong formal protest with the fund committee disclaiming the right of our Urban League here to participate to the extent of $11,000 annually. Until early this year, when the local Urban League became affiliated with the National Urban League, like the one in Cleveland, its leaders basked in the light of the National League without the sanction of that body, and continued to distribute among themselves salaries in the greater part of the money allotted them by the Community Fund.
Now the Ministerial Association has taken up the fight to have the Urban League stricken from the roll of charities receiving money from the Community Fund, basing their argument on the grounds that in the present time of want, direct relief instead of high-salaried "welfare workers" is needed.
They point out that a great deal more good could be accomplished among our citizenry of Columbus at the present time if the $11,000 would be distributed among our various "shelter homes" which are housing and feeding destitute members of the race to the best of their ability on private contributions.

Bad as the Republican party may be, from a critical race viewpoint, the Democratic party is infinitely worse. The former's acts which are severely criticised mainly by the young and unsophisticated of the race are those of omission while the Democratic party's acts are those of commission. For instance: Disfranchisement, lynching, wholesale segregation and denial of citizen-rights in the Sbuth.

Those honest members of the race, whom President Roosevelt appointed to positions of pseudo-authority in the National Recovery Administration, are finding it imperative to leave in order to maintain their self-respect. The departure may hurt, but they will find that they have made wise decisions. Financial journals are united in pointing to impending catastrophies. Men of influence who stand aside from the prejudiced leadership of a false recovery program will find their prestige considerably enhanced.

At a benefit performance in an Indiana city recently, one of our young women participants so degraded herself as to excite considerable comment among the mixed audience. Her disgraceful conduct has unfortunately been reported far and wide, and the reputation of our womanhood has not been enhanced thereby. We are aware that there are places of entertainment in Indiana, Ohio and other states where girls of both races go beyond the boulds of ordinary decency. If such institutions persist in their efforts to make money by disgracing our womanhood, we would like to see them feel the wrath of an aroused youth of the race.
FREE HAITI!
The next step in the struggle of Haiti for self-control will involve the management of that government's finances, Rayford W. Logan, professor of history at Atlanta University, who spent the summer in the Haitian Republic, declared in a talk, last week, at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Logan was an eyewitness to the withdrawal of the U.S. marines after a hectic stay of nineteen years on the island, and had opportunity to talk at length with President Stenio Vincent, of that country, regarding the situation in Haiti
The coming struggle involves four factors: the National City Company of New York, which the government of Haiti owes $11,000,000; the Bank of Haiti, which is now owned and controlled by the National City Company; the President and people of Haiti, and, finally, the U. S. government, which still maintains an American financial representative there in the person of a Mr. DeLarne, a resident of Louisiana.
It is now proposed, Prof. Logan explained, that this country relinquish its financial control, and that this control, be placed in the hands of the Bank of Haiti, which under the plan would be sold by the National City Company to the government of Haiti. The bank under this plan would be governed by a board of six, two Haitians appointed by the President of Haiti, two Americans selected by the President from a panel of five persons to be submitted by the National City Company, and two to be selected by the President from a panel submitted by the foreign bondholders' protective council.
Mr. Logan contends that control by the American government is less objectionable than control by representatives of private individuals. He believes with many other friends of Haiti in this country that they can present these views to the American State Department and get favorable attention.
"How do I account for this change?" Answering his own question, Prof. Logan said: "In 1926 the American officers in command of the island were largely southern white men. Today, these officers are largely men who have come from the northern and western states. The southern officers made the mistake of supposing the Haitians would be as docile as the southern "Negro." They forgot that Haiti had fought for thirteen years to win its independence, and thru its own efforts had brot forth the one republic in the western hemisphere where the black man was to be free."
Prof. Logan is right. Haiti's miserable experience for nineteen years under American control, worse than those of Santo Domingo and other small republics in that part of the world, is a blot upon the escutcheon of this country. President Roosevelt did the proper thing when he moved the marines from Haiti sooner than was promised and anticipated. Now let him arrange, as suggested, for the removal of that American financial representative, and FREE HAITI!
A TASK FOR YOUTH.
In the martyred Abraham Lincoln's town, Springfield, Ill., in the Lincoln hotel, Afro-American bellboys have been dismissed and white boys installed in their places. Not discrimination, we are told, only "a change in policy." Others are slated to go in many a chain-hotel. Of course jobs are scarce and destined to get scarcer as the days wax colder. When not enough billets can be found for white boys, our lads must shift for themselves as best they can. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has been running a series of articles on the plight of the youth and maiden who have never had a job. These are tales of white folk. Our young men and women can duplicate the stories without making the slightest changes. When white boys and girls finally awaken to the realization that the plight of our unemployed adolescent is largely the same as their own, they will insist upon working in common such imitation friends of the "Negro" as H. L. Mencken will have to cover. Intelligent, aroused youth will not tolerate the mouthings of this pseudo-philosopher who sees no hope for the darker citizens of this country within the space of generations. The reason is that the solution of our race's ill may require some bitter medicine, and the Mencken and their ilk cannot bear the thot of swallowing it. Again we must score the management of the Crisis for granting valuable space in the October number to this sage of Baltimore. Must a race publication go out of its way to advertise the race's enemies? The Crisis, unfortunately, under a misguided conception of what constitutes fair play, seems to be getting the habit. Discrimination is a problem which youth, white and colored united, must seek to eliminate. It is their historic mission and they cannot shirk it. And they can begin by assessing the true value of the Menckens of a thousand odd varieties.
Do not overlook the fact that the Temple Theater, E. 55th St. near Central Ave., is showing some mighty fine pictures, these days.

DO NOT VOTE FOR FRANK W. GEIGER!
Judge Frank W. Geiger of Springfield is a Republican candidate for the State Supreme court that not one of our loyal members of the race should vote for. Some years ago when Mr. Geiger was a common pleas judge of (Springfield) Clarke County, he held up a case for months, refusing to hand down a decision which was of supreme importance to our people of that city who were making the fight of their lives to keep the Ku Klux Klan from establishing

"jim-crow" schools in Springfield. In order to get a decision in the case, they had to defeat Judge Geiger who was a candidate for re-election that fall, and feared to give a decision against the Kluxers. Just remember that all of your friends and acquaintances throughout the state. You simply can't vote for Geiger and retain your self and race respect.
SECRETARY JCKES' STATEMENT
Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes said, Saturday, in an address at Atlanta, Ga., and speaking for the Roosevelt administration:
"Our slum clearance program will take no note of race, creed or color." We certainly are glad to note this statement and hope it will prove to be correct. It should be remembered by all, particularly here in Cleveland where the Government is about to start its so-called "slum clearance program" in the Cedar-Central area. When completed and its houses and suites of rooms are for rent, we will have the opportunity to help the poor Ickes to back this statement to the limit. Original promoters in the city, who inaugurated the housing plans here and who are still consulted by Government officials in charge of the work, had no such intentions but openly stated their desire to get "a better class" of residents "from the edge of the city, adjoining the heights, to come down and occupy the houses and suites in the Cedar-Central area, replacing the poor Jewes and to help the poor resident there. We will have no interest in Secretary Ickes' assistance alright, when the alleged housing project in the Cedar-Central area is finished and for tenants. Thrush his splendid speech, in Atlanta last Saturday, inaugurating the great Atlanta University housing project, Secretary Ickes referred repeatedly to the fact that the federal government "is about to erect on these areas modern up-to-date houses that will be available to shell out the numerous classes." And this is just what those at the head of "Cleveland Housing, Inc." repeatedly told the people of this community could not be done. And they have done all they can to keep the government from doing this very thing in the Cedar-Central area. We do not believe it is too late yet for leading representatives of the poor residents (Jews, Italians and Afro-Americans) in that area to contact Secretary Ickes and to inform the government that they are able "lowest income classes" to rent or purchase homes in that area. It is worth a trial anyhow. Organize and see what can be done! Pay no attention to the discouraging talk of designing local individuals of any race or class.
NEARLY ONE THOUSAND
Students Enrolled in the Combined Atlanta University for 1934 and 1935.
Atlanta, Ga.—Nearly one thousand students were enrolled in the institutions comprising the Atlanta University school, which books closed, last week, President John Hope has announced. Of this record number, 84 were enrolled in the graduate school, 569 in the two undergraduate institutions, Spelman College for women and Morehouse College for men, and 341 in the two demonstration schools which are maintained by Atlanta University and Spelman College. The grand total for the semester thus was 994. This year, a new high record for enrollment since the Atlanta University system was organized in 1929, has been established.

Internationally known for his designs of interiors, stage settings, costume effects, furniture and accessories in the capitals of the world, Robert E. Locher touches a new height with the purity of line in his "Modern Classic," a new pattern for sterling silver. Mr. Locher is amazingly varied in his talents, having first made a name as an architect in Pennsylvania, then conquered Havana and New York with his painted room interiors, and then made captive the publics of London and Paris. This, his first work in sterling silver table ware, carries out his magic touch.

The Doctor disappears in the morning with a pick and shovel and returns at noon with anything from a package of darning needles to the rear axle of an old tractor. The days never lack interest and never lack work and at 9 o'clock each night when Commander Noville shouts "Lights Out," every one is already asleep. All this goes on at a feverish pace, not because we are being driven but because we welcome the chance to get out and hustle. But this nustling certainly makes us nungry.

Well, here is my menu: tomato juice, grape-nuts with cream and sugar, two fried eggs and bacon, toast, strawberry jam and two cups of black coffee.
The real big excitement during this week, was digging the big Condor airplane out of the snow. This is the machine that Admiral Byrd intends to use for his long range explorations. This and all the other outdoor work is being done with the thermometer registering from 45 degrees to 60 degrees below zero.
There will be a gala celebration down here next month. We are laying plans to have some extraordinarily big doings on October 10 in honor of the first anniversary of the sailing of the Jacob Ruppert from Norfolk on October 12, 1933. We advanced the date two days in order to have the celebration on the afternoon of the broadcast over the Columbia network on Wednesday, October 10. You see, when it's 2 o'clock in the afternoon here, it is 10 o'clock in New York, so our big doings will take place in the afternoon, but you will hear it on the regular Wednesday night Byrd broadcast.

The Ohio Bell Telephone Company. This convenient type of instrument, which combines the telephone receiver and transmitter in one piece, was developed by Robert G. Brown, chief engineer of the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company, New York City, in 1878, and was used by operators in the United States until about 1884.
Adopted by French
Shortly after receiving a patent on his instrument, Brown was engaged as electrical engineer in charge of the establishment of a telephone exchange in Paris. The hand set invented by him was used by both subscribers and operators in the French capital about 1882. This fact and the continental atm sphere built

Extensive use of the cradle-type instrument in the United States has been comparatively recent. About 1884, more efficient transmitters, which could not be used in cradle telephones, became available. Consequently, the development in this country proceeded on the basis of the wall and desk stand sets.
However, Bell System engineers, recognizing the convenience of the cradle, continued experiments over a period of years to make this type of instrument as efficient in transmission of speech as the telephones in general use. In 1926, their efforts resulted in an instrument in agreement with American standards of service and production on a commercial scale was started.

ASSASSIN
A Drinker of Hashish!
In eleventh-century Persia, a secret order was founded by Hassan ben Sabbah, indulging in the use of the Oriental drug hashish, and, when under its influence, in the practice of secret murder. The murderous drinker of hashish came to be called hashash in the Arabic and from that origin comes our English word assasin!

BOUQUETS PRESENTED

Them.
Madison, N. J., Oct. 1, '34.
Hon. Harry C. Smith,
Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O.
Dear Sir: I have been intending for a long time to throw several bouquets your way. First, because your paper actually arrives on time! For a "Negro" newspaper—in an experience of thirty years—I find the record unparalleled!
As a token of the honesty and sincerity of the compliments, I enclose $1.00 (one hundred cents) to be added to my subscription account as it now stands. Because your paper is on race issues and is educational and enlightening on every topic handled. I have sent copies to friends (during the campaign just closed) in Delaware, Philadelphia, Pa., Washington, D. C. and Maryland, and have helped them to stick to the Republican party.
Third: Because your paper is aggressive and progressive—you call a spade a spade and not an agricultural implement whose utility is undeniably constructive and destructive.
Talkative? Here's Something to Try
From any Bell System telephone, some 32,400,000 telephones in the world may now be reached. Should three persons decide that among them they would hold three-minute conversations with all these telephones, they would find that even with such a division of labor they would still have to devote their lives to the task. For, keeping at it twenty-four hours a day, without allowance for Sundays and holidays or for making the central office connections, it would take their combined time for over 180 years, or more than 60 years apiece.
"OHIO," NIPPON PHONE GREETING
A familiar note to natives of the Buckeye State is being heard in a London telephone exchange these days.
In preparation for the inauguration of radio-telephone service between England and Japan, London telephone girls are learning to say "Ohio" and "Sayonara."
The first word does not refer to our native state but means "How do you do?" in Japanese, while the latter is "Good-lye" in the same language.

The PERSONAL BRUSH of thousands
WINS $2,540.
The government will start paying for sixty parcels of land in the Cedar-Central rehousing area, next week, out of a fund of $500,000 sent here from Washington, D. C., several weeks ago. Verdicts on seven parcels of property have been returned in recent weeks by juries in Federal Judge Paul Jones' court and about twenty more are pending. Among the verdicts, thus far, are:
C. R. Plodeck, vacant parcel on E. 24th Place, $2,000; appraisal, $1,325. Plodeck's increase, as a result of his suit, is $675. Worthwhile, isn't it?
Katherine Morris, E. 28th St. parcel, $2,538; appraisal, $2,080. Increase, $458.
Matilda J. Withycombe, parcel at Pine Ave. and E. 30th St., $4,500; appraisal, $3,965. Increase, $535.
Fred J. Brown, corner Cedar Ave. and E. 24th Place, $4,500; appraisal, $4,294. Brown's increase is $205. Not so bad, either, is it?
Naomi Smith, Central Ave. parcel,
$6,950; Appraisal, $4,410. Miss
Smith is a daughter of the late Jos.
Smith, for many years the well-
known Central Ave. barber. Her in-
crease, as a direct result of her
work, is 8,540, and most
encouraging indeed. Miss Smith is
a member of the race.
Naturally, The Gazette gets a world of satisfaction out of these and other successes of a like nature because for many months, it alone, of all the papers in this city, has continued to urge the people of the Cedar-Central area not to permit themselves to be taken advantage of by the greedy to-do people, who have sought and are still seeking options on property in that and other "housing" areas of the city, on terms that are practically confiscatory. We sure rejoice with Miss Smith and the others over the very encouraging outcome of their suits against the Government', and, too, in one of its own courts. The increase of $2,540, in Miss Smith's case leads all others, up to date, and ought to be a splendid drive to make others to cease has done a big hard for a least a fair price for their property—in many cases their life's savings and all they have left, these "economic depression" days.
THE CHANGE OF LIFE
No medicine can prevent the change of life, during middle-age, but CARDUI does help women to overcome much suffering during that time.
Many women have reported that by taking Cardui during the change of life their strength has been renewed and their health has improved. By building up their strength, women have overcome ordinary nervousness and painful conditions due to poor nourishment. They have a purely vegetable, harmless medicine. When you need Cardui, buy a bottle and take it regularly. Several bottles may be needed. Clearly it is important to see if it will help you as it has helped so many women. Of course, if Cardui does not benefit you, consult a physician. RECES Sold at drug stores.

In the past, tonics and treatments tried to stop hair from falling. That is as useless as to try to stop an animal from shedding! What you must do is make your scalp replace the hair that falls—in short, complete the hair growing cycle. It is on that scientific principle

Samuel de Champlain, the great

the Hurons of the St. Lawrence coun-
try, thus brought war Into that de

state of New York.
‘The immediate result of that shot
on the shores of Lake Champlain was
victory. ‘Though the martial Iroquois

selves to face deth tn everal form that

‘Shot Gave Region to the English.
‘Who ean measure the full conse:

quols forever sealed that land to
French colonization and made the tro-

Belglum of the colonial wars, with the
fertile Champlain valley as the imme-

the ultimate prize. It raised Crown
Point and Ticonderoga, and led Wolfe
and Montealm—the one to victory and
the other to defeat, but both to death
—to that fateful field on the Plains of
Abraham before Quebec,
‘That shot, indeed, led to the lowering
of the flag of France from the para-
pets of New France and to the hoist
ing of the Union Jack of Britain over
the latitudes above the St. Lawrence.
‘One well might believe New York
would speak French today instead of
English; that there would be no United
States, if Champlain had come first to
the forest at the foot of the Adiron-
acks with peace instead of war.
Statistics seldom sparkle, but once

dramatic. Thelr measure of New
York's place in our country's economic
situation discloses that the state, with
only one-sixtieth of the nation's land
and only one-tenth of its population,
contributes five-elghths of its bank
elearing; earns one-third of Its taxable
Income; possesses one-fourth of its
Dank deposits; produces 'one-seventh
of its manufactures. In scores of
other ways they add to this brilliant
record of human achievement.
‘Whoever wanders from the overpow-
ering roar of the mighty, man-made
eanyons of Manhattan, up the Hud-

inders of the waters of Niagara,
noting as he goes the mighty artery of
commerce and industry that ties them
together, discovers that within ten

New York's people have ever been
ready to capitalize every advantaze

city at the crossroads between New
England and the seaboard colonies far-
ther south. Presently foreign shipping
came in inereasing volume, and count-
ing houses flourished.
‘Then the trade of the Mississippi
valley grew consequential and the sev-

George Washington lent his prestize

must be built!” It was a momentous
undertaking in those days to raise $50,-
000,000 for a waterway.
“Clinton's Ditch” won, and present:
ly the lion’s share of the Mississipp!
valley trade was moving through the
Mohawk country and down the Hud-
‘son, because it could float to the sea
on lake and canal and river, while
other states labored and tugged over
the mountains in Conestoga wagons,
railroad inclines, and the like.
Gone is the glory of Erie canal.
‘The elite, who once traveled through
the state atop its leisurely moving
barges, now roll at high speed in mod-
ern motor cars on superhighways, rush
along on world-famed express trains,
or fly lke birds along the sky paths,
seldom giving it either glance or
thought.
But New York, both the state and
the city, whatever their unrivaled posi-
tion, will ever owe homage for their
primacy to De Witt Clinton and that
syinbolic ditch.
Never has a state possessed a clear-
er title to its sobriquet than the land
of the Hudson, the Mohawk, and the
Genesee holds to its name of Empire
state.
Measured by the hosts of its people.
by the magnitude of its wealth, by the
extent of its Industry, by the splendor
and variety of Its scenery, or by the
magnificence of its prozram for the
public. weal, New York inspiringly
lives up to that title.
Really an Empire.
With more than twelve and a tialt
million people, it Is indeed an empire,
outranking Canada by a margin of two
million and coming close to doubling
Austria. It has two people for every
‘one on the entire continent of Aus-
tralia and three for every two in the
Union of South Africa.
With $37,000,000,000 of wealth, tt
stands ahead of half of the nations of
the earth. Even the whole United
States, as recently as 1870, could not
match that figure.
Most assuredly tn the variety and
splendor of its scenery it Is an em-
pire. After rambling throughout the
entire state—gridironing Long Island ;
checkerboarding Westchester county;
aigragging up the Hudson and down
the Champlain country; erisserossing
the Adirondacks and Catskills; skirt-
ing the St. Lawrence and Lakes On:
tarlo and Erle: peeping into every cor-
ner of the Niagara front; exploring
the Genesee area; threading in and
out among the interior lakes, from lit-
tle Conesus to big Cayuga, and from
beautifar Skaneateles to gorgeous Ot-
sego; reveling In the many beauties
of the valleys of the Mohawk, the
Chemung, the Susquehanna, and the
Delaware, one thinks he knows some-
thing of Empire state scenery, and Is
ready to say of it, as Wallace Nutting
says of the Hudson, that here we find
“civilization set in becsty.”
‘The magnificence of its park system,
the perfection of its parkways and
boulevards, the fine quality of its
schools, the care it gives its dependent
population, and the plans It projects
for the future, all stamp it as imperiat
alike in understanding, vision, and pur-
pose,
‘There is no finer chapter in the
history of any state than that which
deais with the deep concern New York
shows in the conservation of its scenic,
historie, and recreational resources,
‘This concern Is a fitting companion
plece to the ever-growing care with
whieh the state educates its youth—a
growth represented by a tenfold tn
‘erease in expenditures for elementary
‘and high school edueation in the iast
30 years.
From Lake Champlain to Niagara
falls, from the western end of Chautau:
qua county, on Lake Erie, to the east
ern tip of Suffolk, at Montauk Point.
New York has set up a series of 00
parks, of varying type and area, to
provide recreation centers, to save
scenic regions, and to safeguard his-
torie shrines, and is developing them
in a manner that no great community
has ever surpassed and few have
equaled.

the left, plaids everywhere in the
autumn style pageant, did one ever
see so many plaids as are flaunting
thelr gay colors and bold patternings
throughout fashion's realm this sea-
son? Plaids in alluring lightweight
woolens, In smart rayon weaves, stn-
ning taffeta plaids and knitted plaids,
too, they are all among “those pres-
ent” in the early fall collections with
very special emphasis given them in
the much-featured showings of campus
fashions.
Evidently, according to the fall style
program, the college girl is supposed to
dine, to dance, to play golf and ten-
nis, to motor, to study and even to
sleep in plaids. Not fiction but fact,
this about sleeping in plaids, for one
of the smartest items to enroll in a
college wardrobe is a sleeping and
lounging pajama outfit of gay plaid,
‘The most practical are made of smart
cotton prints which are styled with
cunningly designed tunies which are
made delightfully feminine, with such
dainty details as collar and cuffs of
scalloped white organdie piped with
the plaid, together with a wide sash of
the plaid material which tles gypsy
fashion in a big romantic bow at one
ride.
‘A leading question put up to the
college girl is as to whether she will
have her frock, suit or ensemble of all
plaid “alone by Itself or shall It be
partly of plaid and partly of a weave
fn solid color, Either or both is the
answer, for the advance showings pre-
gent as convincing arguments in favor
of one as the other. An outstanding
fashion is the dress which is tailored
of all-plaid with not a frill or furbe-
low to mar its sophisticated simplicity.
You see the idea filustrated to the
right in the picture. The girl seated

delightsomely lightweight and_ there:

‘Tremendously clever things are be-

as the topping of a black velveteen
skint with a striking plaid Jacket such
as is shown in the foresround of the
group. ‘The plaid wool Jacket 1s In
black, green and white with black calf
belt." The modish beret is of green
duvetyn and of course, In answer to
the demand of present-day millinery
fashion, it needs must sport a dashing
little feather. The blouse, which you
cannot see in the pleture, Is of mateh-
ing green duvetyn, An ascot scart of
black velveteen adds the finishing
touch to this ensemble,
In the charming autumn costume pic-
tured to the left above the order is
reversed in that the skirt Is plaid and
the Jacket is in the solid color. Here

designers to combine any number of

And have you seen the perfectly
stunning velveteen and corduroy prints

truthfully say the idea has gone.
With the two-piece idea having the
endorsement of the haute couture,
there 1s every reason to see the tunic
coming in vogue at last.
Collars This Fall to Be
Worn Close to the Throat
Fall collars are something to watch.
Most of them snug fairly close to the
throat, big pilgrim collars, high roll
collars and wide revers all being seen.
Sleeves on the straighter coats are
often large at the top, while those on
the looser, shorter designs generally
display fullness near the wrist. Belts
are in again, since coats are lapping
well in front, and many a late mid-sea-
son model is snugged about the figure
by a narrow belt hardly an inch wide.
Hosiery Shades
Hosiery colors that will be most im-
portant for street wear this fall are
dusky browns, taupe tones, smoke and
gunmetal shades. For formal evening
wear either skin tones or very dark
shades in gossamer sheer will be worn.

. ANIL-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
‘egislature 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 constitu-
Hfonality of the law and it has been very effective. Il)inois, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or
Autilyhehing laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other north-
brn states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted
inthlynching laws, in recent years. The Obio law follows:
Section
6278. “Mob” and “lynching” defined.
6279. “Serious injury” defined.
6280. Damages in case of assault.
6281. Damages in case of lynching.
5282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching.
6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another.
6284. Limitations of action.
6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy.
6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees.
6287. County's right of action against member of mob.
6288. County's right of action against another county.
6289. Non-rellef from prosecution.

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 edi-
tor had enacted while a member of
the 71st General Assembly, in 1894.
‘The General Code of Obio:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the
proprietor or his employes, keeper
or manager of an inn, restaurant,
eating house, barbershop, public
conveyance by land or water, theater
or other place of public accommoda-
tion and amusement, denies to a citi-
zen, 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, shali
be fined not less then 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 per-
son aggrieved thereby to ba recor-
ered in any court of competent juris-
diction in the county where such
offense was committed.
This law has repeateaty Deen held

Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is

they should, but expect it to do for
them what they should and must do
