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have welcomed this great race into party councils and into all phases of party activity, and this welcome will never be withdrawn."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. TOMMY 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. PETER H. 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. "RENEW HOPE" Slogan of the Community Fund for Its Annual Drive, Next Month. The 1934 appeal of the Community Fund to "Renew Hope" is graphically portrayed by the poster to be used during the Fund's sixteenth annual drive, Nov. 19 to 27. A work RENEW HOPE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY FUND CAMPAIGN NOV.19-27 ingman, stripped to the waist, is pictured, by the poster as standing erect with his arms thrust forward and grim determination on his face. Behind him the sun blazes forth in glory, while in the background factories are shown with chimneys pouring out smoke. "Renew Hope thru the Community Fund" is lettered at the bottom of the poster. To care for the sick, crippled, blind, orphaned, aged and other unfortunate humans, the Community Fund will seek $3,500,000 in November. ASSIGNED FOR 1934-5. Presiding Elders and Ministers of the A.

If Willis Ward, Michigan U.'s star athlete, was anything else but a "Negro", and was barred by his own coach from playing Georgia Tech's team in Michigan he would leave the University pronto. --- 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: Doings of the Race The State Supreme Court of Georgia has denied a re-hearing in the Angelo Herndon case. It will be appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court by the I. L. D. The N. A. A. C. P. better try to get the Texas "Negro" a vote on election day and stop wasting good money and time trying to get him a vote in Democratic primaries. Atty. Willis O.

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.

"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. be open for inspection, culminating with "Open House Night," Friday evening.

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. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 13, 1934.

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 FRANK GEIGER "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. 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. 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. 44 ITTLE AMERICA, ANTARCTI LITTLE AMERICA, ANTARCTIC CA, Sept. 24 (via Mackay Radio): -Work, more work and then still more work has been the order of all the days since the sun has returned to us.

There are meteorologists, George Grimminger and William C.

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.

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.

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.

HALL 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. CARDUI SEE US FIRST FOR ALL G JOHN S. H.

Who dug it and for what pur- Pose it was used, Is a problem his torlans are attempting to solve. New York, the Empire state, from colonial tlmes has been a state of startling discoveries and marvelous development. ‘More than 11 years before Plymouth Rock and less than three years after Jamestown, a sword-girt figure in steel corselet and plumed helmet stood proudly deflant before a band of hos: tile Indians. ‘The scene was the shore of @ lake in a mountain-bordered val: ley, the time the morning of July 30, 1809, As the redskin warriors rush toward him with bloodeurdling war cries, the intrepld adventurer is unperturbed. ‘Not until the savages approach within Dowshot does he move. Then he raises his flaring-muzzled arquebus and fires. ‘hee of the four leaden slugs find thelr mark, ‘Two chiefs fall dead and ‘one of their braves clutches at a mor- tal wound. Samuel de Champlain, the great French explorer, to win the favor of the Hurons of the St. Lawrence coun- try, thus brought war Into that de lectable land which we now call the state of New York. ‘The immediate result of that shot on the shores of Lake Champlain was victory. ‘Though the martial Iroquois for generations had schogled them- selves to face deth tn everal form that savage cunning and barbarle cruelty could invent, still, for the moment, they could not stand up against this’ new. strange weapon that spoke with the voice of thunder and flashed with the tongue of lightning. ‘Shot Gave Region to the English. ‘Who ean measure the full conse: quences of that shot! ‘Phe enmity toward the French tt engendered in the breasts of the Iro- quols forever sealed that land to French colonization and made the tro- ‘quols lifelong allies ‘of the English, ‘who were soon to arrive, It made northeastern New York the Belglum of the colonial wars, with the fertile Champlain valley as the imme- late objective, but with all America as 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 4m a whjle some of them tell so elo- ‘quent n story that they are actually 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- gon and through the Mohawk valley to Hust, and thence to the inspiring 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 miles of this most-traveled lane tn America 80 per cent of the state's pop- lation work like the beavers that once roamed where they live, to serve ‘varied needs of the nation. ‘What the Erie Canal Meant. New York's people have ever been ready to capitalize every advantaze ‘of geography. They built their chiet 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- eral states began to battle for it. Even George Washington lent his prestize to the endeavor to hold it for Vir- ginia. But De Witt Clinton outwitted them all. Never had old Cato cried out | more carnestly or more persistently, “Delenda est Carthago,” than De Witt Clinton urged that “The Erle Canal 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.

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.

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 is also wearing a frock of this type, in. brown and light beige, made in shirtwaist fashion, The buttons are (| A PS | he new tweeds are simply stun- models styled of tweed have both a piece suits are.

A bright blue belt and scart enter attractively into the color scheme, Asa matter of fact the two-piece dress tailored of plaid is not only a college girl favorite, for whether you £0 to school, to office or saunter about town during the shopping hours a plaid frock’s the thing this season ‘which in- terprets chic at its smartest. ‘Tremendously clever things are be- Ing done with plaid plus plain, Such 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 a dark brown cut-velvet jacket sur "mounts a skirt in plaided brown, green and belize. ‘The turtleneck blouse ts of green jersey. ‘The color combina tion for! this costume Is noteworthy since It Is typleal of the newest trends. ‘There is a disposition on the part of designers to combine any number of rich autumn colors working out ef- fects which flavor of the picturesque Alpine costumes even to the soft felt hats with their audacious little quills and feathers, And have you seen the perfectly stunning velveteen and corduroy prints done in bold plaids and checks? No college girl once glimpsing them, will not be able to resist this temptation, ek ance Menepacie Sialon: “BUTCHER BOY BACK” IS MUCH IN FAVOR Possibly you haye never thought 0! sour buteher as a very stylish person. Now += !ave Mainbocher's “the buteh: er boy pack.” It’s a loose back gath- ered from a shallow shoulder yoke. ‘The front of this jacket or tunic, whichever it happens to be, is belted. Belted front and unbelted backs are regarded with favor by all who have seen this new arrangement. It adds an extra fillip to the two-piece cos: tume, which is, as you know, one of the ‘season's Intest pets. Since so many women find difiieulty in wear. ing belts well, the partially belted {dea Is a life saver. Tunies have a long way to go be- fore they catch up to their reputation, We've been hearing about tunics con. sistently, but that's as far as one can 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. Slealacw Ghote Fair Joy epee | ae ge. a “BoA ote yb ek agi eke LS A Tah!

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. Columbus Leads Ohio Cities In Telephone Development cs hein she Cee ine t— MOBS. 1 Section 6278.

Close behind come Cincinnati and Cleveland, in the order named. There are 17.5 telephones per 100 residents in Columbus, or 66.6 tele- phones for each 100 families. ‘Ohio Near U. S.

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 constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court.
