AN APPRECIATION! Cleveland, Nov. 20, '35. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. My dear Mr. Smith:—I want to express to you the sincere appreciation of the American Red Cross for your splendid co-operation in pub- lizing in the working and organization of the Red Cross during our recent Roll Call. Your most helpful assistance was a major contribution to the success of our Campaign. You will be glad to know that as a result of our Roll Call in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County we have enrolled over 50,000 members and have collected over $450,000. Thanking you for your most help- ful co-operation at all times, very sincerely yours, M. J. Mandelaum, Chairman. HEAR! HEAR!! The ROUNDER ON WHAT'S DOING The efforts of a few local poor whites to encourage our people to attend the "nigger" plays given by the Gilpin players at their little Karamu Theater in Central Avs. would be amusing if it wasn't so insulting. Some years ago, after Senator William Borah of Idaho in a speech in the U. S. Senate had all but "hamstrung" our people of this country, catering to the prejudiced Democratic South, the "Negro" intelligentia of white men in nation's earliest invite him to be guest-speaker at one of their largest affairs of the kind. Lord! Have mercy. Early Saturday evening George Brown, a staunch supporter of Councilman Lawrence Payne, was shot to death in a beer joint in Scovill Ave. near E. 33d St. At least one of the several bullets to enter Brown's body lodged in his back. It is said that false charges are being being against the officer who released the of his assailants. The councilman will undoubtedly see that his long-time staunch supporter, the dead, gets justice. Watch and see. --- The loss of Councilman David Lawrence's vote in the City Council and the acquisition of his Democratic successor makes the vote in that august body a tie—16 Republicans, 16 Democrats and one independent Democrat, who will be less, the local legislative circus. This sure puts the three "Negro" councilmen, Hubbard, Payne and Bundy, "out of luck" again, since they are a part of the Republican minority vote of the Council. It's just too bad the Democrats have time to get their constituents a little better street-car service on the Central Ave, and E. 30th St. lines, at least. In an open letter to the members-elect of the City Council the Citizen's League calls upon them to "subordinate their personal and partisan views to the common cause of restoring Cleveland to her high rank among America," and this is a better place in which to live and work". The letter, printed in the League's bulletin, suggests they "take control from Councilmen Bundy, Finkle and Payne," who they charge "disregarded the rights of majority members" in the old Council. The League doesn't seem to thank Bundy, but John E. Hubbard of Ward 18 even the he is in full sympathy and works with Bundy, Finkle and Payne. Finkle used to be the leader of the quartet but seems to have lost out to Bundy. The fact that the two "Blossom Triplets," Bundy and Payne, are "Afros" had more to do with suggesting the Citizen's League letter than anything else. Bundy said that she and a headache" to Mayo Fieser and the Citizen's League, and other prejudiced white citizens. A JURY ACQUITS THEM. Ashland City, Tenn. — Luther, Jesse, Jimmy and Clyde Dotson and their cousin, Allie Brown, charged with the lynch of Baxter Bell, were acquitted here, last week, as all expected. Bell was turned over to the alleged murderers, it is said, by the judge, who was jailed on a charge of having slapped Mrs. Luther Dotson in a "Negro" drinking resort.

Thousands of Italian Soldiers Killed and Thousands of Rifles and Machine Guns, Complete With Ammunition, Captured Addis Ababa, N. Africa. — The forces of nature finally have come to the aid of Ethiopia, spokesmen for Emperor Haile Selassie said today, asserting that Italy's offensives on the northern and southeastern fronts have bogged down in nearly impassable, mountain defiles. The Italian army of compass and protection has to "stuck" between the mountains around Makale, while the mountains and river gorges in Ogaden, on the southeast, are holding back the columns of Gen. Rodolfo Graziani's army. His lines are even moving backward. From Harar came news, Sunday, that an Ethiopian counter-attack has driven the Italians out of Gorahai, on the Fara River. The Ethiopian forces have harried that Ethiopian forces had retaken Gabre Darre, sixteen miles north of Gorahai, and that three columns totaling 25,000 men, were advancing toward Gorahai. In the north, it is obvious here that the Italians have advanced scarcely a mile south of their positions below Makale. Only intense aerial activity has made the situation worse. Ethiopia's northern forces, fighting the Italian invader with every resource of traditional and modern warfare, have inflicted heavy losses upon the Fascist armies during the past fortnight, officials asserted today. Four thousand seven hundred Ethiopians killed. One thousand rifles and 40 machine guns, complete with ammunition, captured. Authorities regarded the arms seizure as a victory for the armed Ethiopian forces than the loss of Italian lives. The gains are the result of stiffened Ethiopian defense following capture of the northern city of Makale. Harar, Ethiopia. — Ras Desta Demtu, commander of Ethiopia's southwestern armies, has inflicted a severe defeat upon 2,000 Italians on the fringe of Bale Province, eyewitnesses from the battle front recounted today. The first eyewitnesses arriving from the front in several weeks said a force of 4,500 Ethiopians commanded by Desta, son-in-law of Emperor Haile Selassie, killed hundreds of Italians and captured tanks, guns and ammunition. The Ethiopian government has issued seven Seventh Corps under Dedizamate. Worsely displeased three Italian battalions north of Makale, killed the commander and several soldiers and dispersed the others. This announcement, claiming victory on the northern front. Blackburn To Face Court Dec. 5. Chicago, Ill.—The assault-to-kill charges originally filed against Jack Blackburn, age 52, trainer of Joe Louis, were nolle pressed and the charge of manslaughter filed against him. A $10,000 ball bond secured Jack his liberty, temporarily at least. He was arrested originally and charged with having killed one Enoch Houser, age 69, who was accidentally shot, Oct. 20, during a gunbattle between four men. Blackburn allegedly one of them. Boston, Mass.—The Massachusetts Boxing Commission has suspended Eddie Winston, Hartford, Conn. "Afro" heavyweight for one year for failing to give his best efforts in the recent bout with Jack Sharkey. During his comeback bout, last week Friday, Sharkey, former world heavyweight boxing champion, was that toot with six minutes and ten seconds of fighting. As a sequel to the fight, a bill to end licensed boxing in Massachusetts was filed later by Representative Owen Gallagher. Chicago, Ill.—Jack Blackburn, Joe Louis' trainer, does not believe Paulino can beat his protege, but the famous trainer is taking no chances with the big foreigner. One reason is that Jack remembers how Paulino stood up under all the body-punching Harry Wills could give him and then came back to gain the verdict over the famous "Brown Panther" of other days. "We'll beat that guy, Paulino," Jack says. "but Joe must be in fine shape and be in a punching mood because he can take it. Joe out for an early knockout and keep it out, we are fighting while Paulino is too weak in doing with his own fists."

Emperor Haile Selassie. The native defenders were said to be sweeping the invaders back after Emperor Haile Selassie's visit last week to the southern front. Gen. Weihb Pasha, chief of staff of the southern Ethiopian Army, returned here with news that an Italian force had been repulsed with heavy loss at Sasa Baneh. The impatient Pasha said: "There is no front except in the air. The enemy is hampered by three barriers: The effects of tropical diseases on the Ethiopian network of fortifications. There are many Dardanelles between Goraih and Harar." Someone asked about tanks and he admitted they will take a larger toll than planes, but the larger Ethiopian man-power will render the machines futile, he said. The old World War master-mind declared the Italians never will take the plateau around Harar. When this war is over, Italy will have ceased to count in Africa. Later Gen. Pasha said: "We have many more guns, field guns. We have had leisure to place them, and the most magnificent country in which to defend them. We recall that, after the defense of the Dardanelles, I assaulted and captured three Russian fortresses in the Carpathians. That must be considered child's play to what the Italians here have ahead of them". was already on the scene getting in shape. FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE—TAXES. Here are two stanzas from a verse that has been making the rounds recently: "When you light the evening lamp You pay a tax. When you buy a postage stamp You pay a tax. When you buy the baby clothes, When you read the morning news, When you buy a pair of shoes, You pay a tax. . . "When you buy an ice cream cone You pay a tax. For the water that you drink You pay a tax. When you buy a loaf of bread, When the doctor says you're dead, When the final prayers are said, You pay a tax." It is doubtful if sadder or truer words were ever penned. Taxes begin with the cradle and end only in the grave. And today we are taxed more heavily, and in more ways, than we ever were before. Sit down some on the taxes, indirect and direct, that make the normal course of any day's normal activities—and you'll get some idea of how necessary real tax reduction is.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1935. Storms are killing a number of residents of southern Italy. Wonder if the Lord is taking a hand in the Italo-Ethiopian war, or rather massacre up to a few weeks ago? It seems so. Premier Mussolini has sent Gen. Bagdolo to succeed Gen. Emilio De Bono in command of the Italian army in E. Africa. The latter, it seems, was not making progress fast enough for Il Duce. Five Georgia "Negroes" at Cordelle last week stood off a mob of white brutes intent on lynching an 18 year old boy. Frank Horn, whose alleged crime was that he was "sassy". Their exhibition of real manhood ought to be encouraged with a gift of money. --- The Ethiopians did a good job when they gave Hubert Julian, the Harlem, N. Y. aviator, his passport so he could leave that country. The "Colonel" has been "a pain and a headache" to Emperor Haile Selassie ever since he first landed in Ethiopia. How any of our people can advocate the nomination of U. S. Senator Wm. E. Borah (R.) of Idaho as the next Republican nominee for the presidency is something we cannot understand unless they are ignorant of the fact that he has always sided with the prejudiced South in everything of vital interest to our people. NRA OR NOT! Conferences have been called in Washington, next month, looking to the creation of new legislation to supplant the N. I. R. A. Out of these discussions between industry and the Administration will come a decision momentous in the future of the Nation—for if new legislation is sought it will be permanent and not temporary as was the old act. Public statements from industry show almost a unanimity of sentiment against further experiments in the field of industrial control. It is less easy to gauge sentiment among the smaller business houses, the consumer, and labor. Yet no further steps in the direction of curtailing state's rights should be taken until these millions who are so important are heard from. It is difficult to believe that there is any genuine sentiment in this country for another NRA under a different name. After the first blush of enthusiasm in the 1933, when the Blue Eagle was flying high and everyone co-operated to keep it飞ing, defects in this form of regimentation became apparent. Prices were forced upward by arbitrary wage levels. It was found that there could not be just a halfway point in regimentation. A country is either free or is eventually enslaved, and the government fixes the prices of the pants presser in Podunk. Since the NRA was dismantled by the Supreme Court there has been a steady increase in employment. In fact, according to the National Industrial Conference Board, this improvement began late in 1934 when the Blue Eagle began to lose its grip upon the nation's commerce. All of these facts are part of the story. But they do not reveal national sentiment today. Would you want a new NRA? Or not? Write to your Congressman, your Senator, or to the National Industrial Recovery Administration in Washington and make your views known. A CABINET POSITION. According to his sworn statement filed with the Board of Elections, Mayor Harold H. Burton's primary campaign expense was $33,731; the election costs, $33,298. Total, $67,030.27. The contributions for his primary campaign totaled $34,387.15. The contributions toward his election campaign costs, totaled $33,342.92. Among the contributors was "The All-Nation's division" of the Mayor's campaign or organization which gave $1,030. It's votes for Burton on election day might total two or three thousand but not much more than that. It is represented in the Mayor's cabinet by Mr. Vargo, director of parks. Fred W. Ramsey, whom Mayor Burton has appointed welfare director, contributed $150. In lieu of cash our people gave the mayor about 40,000 votes, the largest number to be given him by any race of people or political bloc. Prior to the primary, Mr. Burton promised to give the various races representation in his administration in accordance with the support (votes) given him on election day. If he carries out this promise, in the face of the almost unanimous support given him by our people, we are certainly entitled to representation in his cabinet, at least one place if not more. There are several yet to be filled. NOT COMMUNISM. The Chandler Park apartments, Detroit, a federal housing project, and the "East Side slum clearance project" of the same city are to be occupied by the other class of people, and ours respectively, according to current reports. Councilman Lodge, of Detroit, refers to that federal color-line as a scheme that "smacks of Communism". It seems the "East Side project" was established on the insistence of hundreds of "Negro" fraternal, civic and religious organizations. Mr. Lodge is wrong in saying the scheme "smacks of Communism". It really "smacks" of southern Democratic "crackerjack". They, southern Democratic "crackerjack", are in control of the government and are losing no opportunity to carry out Booker T. Washington's suggestion in his notorious Atlanta, Ga. speech of a quarter of a century or more ago. It will be recalled that Booker said, in that speech, that "Negroes and whites could live in this country separate-as-the-fingers-of-the-hand". So an effort to segregate our people as contemplated in Detroit and here in Cleveland also, in the Outhwaite area, is to be anticipated. But the southern Democratic "crackerjack", in control of the government and federal housing projects may be expected to do just that unless our people of Detroit and Cleveland awaken, organize and start fights in the courts, under the Michigan and Ohio Civil Rights laws which forbid such discrimination on account of race or color. For nearly a year The Gazette has been calling attention to this matter and it is to be hoped some attention is paid to it at an early date. ENFORCE TRAFFIC LAWS! ENFORCE TRAFFIC LAWS! Of all the weapons being used to combat motor traffic accidents, enforcement is ultimately the most important. This is not to minimize the vital need for such primary measures as education and engineering, for education is a great hope and only through it can we achieve the ideal of self-enforcement. Traffic engineering is a fast-developing science which can and does go far in reducing the probability of motor accidents caused by faults in street and highway design and construction. Nevertheless, until education teaches the motorist better habits and a proper respect for the added advantages given by traffic engineering safety, enforcement must assume the practical leadership in accident reduction People who are otherwise law-abiding, deliberately break the traffic laws every day. The result last year was 36,000 killed and close to a million injured. The police cannot afford to let down in their enforcement efforts—rather must they intensify them. Probably the first requisite for good enforcement is good laws to enforce. The truth of this statement is proved by a survey made by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters. This survey showed that the trend in the ratio of motor accident fatalities to gasoline consumption increased twenty per cent in six years in a group of states having no driver's license laws, while at the same time, it decreased twenty-five per cent in those states with standard license laws. So long as the law itself is lax, not only about licenses but also about the whole motor vehicle code, it cannot be surprising that the motorist is also lax. A second requisite of good enforcement is intelligent application of the law. All offending motorists are not alike, either in their attitude or the degree of their offense. No police officer has the right to abuse his authority by abusing a motorist where harshness is not called for. The "bawling out" should be saved for the extreme offender. The average violator, being the average man, is amenable to reason. The policeman who can explain how the safety of the offender and of others has been endangered by an illegal or an unsafe practice and who is equipped as well to demonstrate statistically the toll taken by that particular violation, is far more likely to win a convert to the good driving idea. Correction and not punishment is the aim of modern traffic law enforcement. Real enforcement, therefore, is self-enforcement. Death and destruction on streets and highways will practically cease when every driver—and every pedestrian—becomes his agent of enforcement. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

(3)—Diesel engine which propels the tractor with amazing economy and power. ONE of the most dramatic and glamorous bits of machinery in common use today is the "Caterpillar" Tractor. It subdues nature in the raw, going through waste land and forest performing herculean tasks without a falter. It is interesting to note that this ponderous piece of machinery with all of its capacity for running rough-shod over seemingly insurmountable difficulties, is made as accurately as the finest automobile. Its powerful Diesel engine, capable of propelling the tractor with its heavy loads of logs, rocks, ore or other materials over rough rock ground or through swamp and muck, is equipped with Bohnalite aluminum pistons which are balanced to a whisker. These pistons are similar to those used in the finest passenger cars and just as carefully made and inspected. Because of the use of this aluminum alloy the power output of the engine is increased and its useful life is tremendously prolonged.

THE NOVELTY OF TALKING INTO A TELEPHONE FOR THE FIRST TIME EMBARRASSED EARLY USERS, CAUSING THEIR CONVERSATIONS TO BE STRAINED AND UNNATURAL OHIO'S MOB VIOLENCE ACT OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION 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: MOBS. Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined 6281. Damages in court 6282. 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 mob. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise compulsory power over another 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.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disabling the person receiving it from earning a salary by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) comes from another mit violence on a person in the county in which committed may rise to the judgment of the county from which unless there was gence on the part county in failing to order or disperse (163 11). not relieve a person from homicide or assa therein. (93 v. 163 11). OUR OHIO CIVIL 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 such assault was 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 result in permanent disability, to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. 162 5). Section 6232. 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 children surviving such coedent, share and share 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 as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6289. This chapter shall 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 such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs may recover, against a juvenile and costs against it in the case of a legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or SO VIOLENT WERE THESE EARLY CONVERSATIONS, THE STORY GOES, THAT HORSES BOLTED FROM FRIGHT WHEN SOMEONE NEARBY SHOUTED INTO A TELEPHONE LOUD ENOUGH FOR THE OTHER PARTY TO HEAR comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the provider or his employee keeps or manages a dining house, barber-shop, public 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, 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 in our people will not excuse it as often as they would in any other case, it is to do them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H.

Mr. Leland D. French, chairman; Rev. Horace G. Bailey, James A. Rogers and Capt. Chas. E. Frye, all longtime residents of Cleveland; constituted the citizen's committes which not only evolved but arranged all details of the ex- ceptionally successful social function. They were in full charge of the preparations for it, from the begin- ning to the end, and certainly are entitled to all the praise showered upon them, November 15, 1935, and ever since, Opening the dinner at about 6:30 p. m., Mr. French, who inaugurated the movement which culminated in the testimonial dinner wSheay I take, this opportunity to express to you the sincere congratu- lations of the committee of arrange- ments: Rev. Horace C. Bailey, Capt. Chas. E. Frye, Mr. “Jas, A. Rogers and myself. We are all here to honor a distinguished citizen. I am going to present at this time Rev. Horace C. Bailey, the toastmaster for this oceasion.”* ‘Dr. Bailey said in part: “Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen: ‘We are here to express our sincere ap- preciation of as well as our gratitude to a fellow citizen and co-laborer for his long and faithful work for bu- manity; for the civil and political rights ‘of all men irrespective of Tace, creed or color, in the person of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, We can hot enumerate all the good he has done and endeavored to do for our great city, stato and mankind in Beneral, but only intimate it. In reading his paper, The Gazette, for thirty-five years, and associating with him thirty-two years here in Cleveland, I have observed his atti- tude toward his fellow-man, regard- less of creed or color, to be one of sympathy and helpfulness. This testimonial dinner is given in order that his immediate friends and ac- quaintances may have an opportun- ity to express their opinion of his untiring endeavors to cheer and help mankind in general and those of Cleveland in particular.”” Dr, Bailey then introduced Chair- man French who read the following telegrams and letters: Cleveland, Nov. 15, ‘35.

He has always had the Kighest of all the attributes of an American citizen—the ability to form opinions on public matters and the ability to stand by them at any cost. That quality has almost disappeared in recent years, but there will always be plenty of it wherever Harry Smith happens to be and it will be a good thing for the town to have such a citizen, ‘Lhope you will convey to him and to his friends who join in honoring him my tribste gf stacere respect and my hope that he will live long to continue his valuable service. ‘With much regard, believe me Yours very_traly,° *'W.

Since we ladies are not supposed to tell our ages I'll only say I came to Cleve- land in 1886, and Mr, Smith then was a very prominent citizen. He im- pressed me with the fact that he was always interested in young people. 1 am very happy to be here this eve- ning to pay tribute to Cleveland's honored citizen”, inlet ae Minit of the Common Pleas Court, “I was going to say how long I had known The Gazette, but when you look up here and see the young boy sitting there I guess 1 won't.

The fact that Harry Smith has stood and fought #0 hard is a reason that your group are getting the things they are en- joying at this time. The fact that you have a number of young people holding responsible positions, today, is not due so much to those who are holding those positions, but to the fact that Harry Smith stood by and fought for them. He has been a blessing not only to your people but ‘to the communtiy”. SO Riek aks aati telecon “After all that has been said most anything that I might add is going to be a repetition, Some thirty years ago, when I first came to Cleveland Theard of Mr. Smith and his paper. I can't say that I am as intimate with him as most of you, but it wasn’t long before I began to feel that he was a “rock of Gibralter” in this community. Later on when 1 became acquainted with him, I was most sure of the fact. I think that you not only have a stalwart man of character in Mr, Smith, but you also have the same kind of an editor and the same kind of a paper. I like his paper for one reason if not an- other. I think he runs an absolutely clean paper and that is something to be proud of. I think he runs a very dignified paper. I think there is much more to be said about his leadership and the character that he has put into his paper and thru his paper into his readers. ‘There is per- haps today more competition in the newspaper field. There are different ideas of running newspapers. I think Mr. Smith has several good ones. 1 think that it would be too bad if any- thing should happen to Mr. Smith's Newspaper. I feel that he deserves all the support and all the apprecia- tion that your people can give him. I think perhaps his paper ought to have more support than it has in this community. I want to wish you, Mr. Smith, very many more Yeats of success, and I hope that you Will continue along the lines that you are going”, Former Senator John P. Green. “I have been in Cleveland 78 years, and if I see another birthday I will be 91 years of age. I think that I am the oldest one here who knows Mr. Smith. I knew him as a boy. I knew his mother well. I knew his sister, and I have known him in all the various stages of his life. Harry C, Smith in my judgment is one of the most celebrated men in the United States, white or black. When he speaks he has something to say. He went to the legislature three times and every time he went he was worthwhile. Mr. Smith is a statesman. He knows more about the legislature of the State of Ohio than most people you have there, He introduced and secured the enact- ment of Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Anti-Lynching law or Mob Violence act. I get papers from all over the country. Some of them have more in them, but he has the best judgment, He knows the rights and wrongs of our race. He is always struggling for our rights. He is a good clean man, a musician, a journalist and a statesman. And he is still working for us as he has been for over fifty years. I congratu- late him, I praise every man that I know to be fit, And Mr. Smith is fit. Harry C. Smith is known all over the United States. He is hon- est. He knows the good when he sees it, and he knows the evil when he sees it. He's got the ability. He's got the courage to strike and strikes hard. And when he is gone, God only knows what man of color will run The Gazette".

I hope that all of your efforts will ‘continue to be crowned with success, Mr. Smith”. Sele te eet chairman of the committee of ar- rangements, “I do not know of anything that has given me more pleasure than ar- ranging this affair. Some have said they have known Mr. Smith for many years. I was born and reared in Cleveland, and I have known Mr. Smith since my day of recollection, whatever that day was. I am sure that he is one man whose place in this community will be greatly missed when he passes. Week in and week out, I hear eulogies. How wonderful it would be if people could know what people really think about them, Give them flowers when they can see and smell them, That would be an incentive for them to do more for their people, Nearly every one of any consequence of my group knows of Mr. Smith, I hope he will be spared. He has not only made a record in this city, county and state but in the nation.

Some one has well said that some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. I am one of those who believe that true greatness is the handiwork of God and that leaders are born and not made. Schools and colleges may help to develop that which has been en- dowed by nature, but schools and colleges, of themselves, have never produced leaders. ‘The character’ whom we honor here, tonight, in my opinion, pos- sesses all the characteristies’ of a real, genuine leader, and I am happy to join with you as a hero worshiper at the feet of this great leader. 1 shall always be grateful, personally, to “The Old Reliable” Gazette and to its editor, There has never been a re a ep te & a a * & ere oO) . f - ee oe: ea | ie Dr. E.

To my personal knowledge, he has turned down many excellent opportunities for himself, to serve the people, Some call him “a race man”, but Leall him more than that. “He is a benefactor of all people.
