Burton's primary campaign expense was $33,731; the election campaign 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 to the National Association of the Mayor's campaign organization which gave $1,030. It 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 accordance with his administration in accordance with the support votes) given him on 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. Atty. Wm. B. Saunders, up to date, is the only Burton supporter among our people who has been given a position. Director of Law Clum (Dem.) last week appointed him an assistant police prosecutor to be assigned work with the city Utilities Dept. At the same time, he re-appointed Charlott. White an assistant law officer, and Perry an assistant police prosecutor, who all but worked their heads off stumping nightly for the re-nomination of Mayor Harry L. Davis. It was White's and Jackson's support of the continued showing of the rotten and vile play "Stevedore" in the face of the almost united opposition of our local ministers, and others, that still causes them to be referred to at times as "The State of the People." An assistant police prosecutor, two years ago, Mayor Davis started in by giving jobs to his political enemies among our people and by ignoring his active supporters, particularly those in Wards 11 and 18. One result of this was they led the fight, at the recent primary, among our people against Davis' re-nomination and did most to help defeat him as far as our people were concerned. White and Jackson, united for the re-nomination of Mayor Davis, did practically nothing to help elect Mayor Harold H. Burton. The least The Rounder can say of those two re-appointments is that they are most unfortunate indeed from a race and party viewpoint or standpoint. They are not entitled to the places, especially in view of the fact that at least a score of our young lawyers, who supported Mayor Burton from the first, were entitled to them and some of them would fill the places far better and much more satisfactorily than Jackson. Another Mayor nor Director Clum counseled with any of our leaders relative to the White and Jackson re-appointments, it is said. EDITOR HONORED BY YOUNG PEOPLE! The Young People's Progressive League Promotes One of the Most Enjoyable Thanksgiving Dinners Ever Given in Cleveland. —— The Young People's Progressive league celebrated Thanksgiving Day with a special dinner-party at The Douglas Club, 7914 Cedar Ace, this city. The league had as its guest of honor the Hon. Harry Smith, trice member of the Ohio legislature and editor of The Gazette, our J. oldest and only independent publication. Mr. Smith was introduced by Dr. Linnel L. Rodgers who characterized him as "the race's most outstanding and courageous leader in the community and a gentleman of inflexible and sterling integrity who for the past fifty-three years, as editor of The Gazette, has stood as a beacon light of progressive ideas and ideals such as the members of theague can safely embrace and cherish. The editor was at his best and spoke eloquently, frankly and convincingly. He declared that during the past twenty-five years the race has not made one step in the direction of political and economic progress; deplored the fact, and laid the blame at the doors of our many so-called leaders and useless organizations, particularly the "dollar-and-cents leaders" who are long, old, overdue in doing. Mr. Smith talked at length of the signal worth of our departed leaders, Douglas, Langston, Price and others, and urged the league to set up a standard of leadership in this community that would restore something of this pristine glory, long since departed. He declared that he believed that he saw in the Young People's Progressive league active germs of the type of organization our people of Cleveland so greatly need and for which he long has prayed. He said that he would give a rising vote of thanks was gladly extended him, together with an invitation to visit the league's meetings at his pleasure. Following Mr. Smith as a speaker came the Rev. Horace C. Bailey, venerable, gracious and dignified, wearing his years lightly and with honor, who spoke feelingly, giving ideas as progressive and life-giving as any group of young people could expect from any sage whatever his race. Leland D. French followed Dr. Bailey and spoke most encouragingly, winning all hearts. Then came Manager Jackson, the genial host of The Douglas Club, who praised the team for membership as did many others. Mr. Jackson and his able assistants spared no pains in making the occasion most agreeable and the full course turkey-dinner delicious. Thomas W. Anderson, general secretary of the league and master of ceremonies, introduced the league's officers and the visitors. Officers: Sparkus Fantroy, pres.; Cecil Perrin, treas; Miss Lucille Pinkney, fn, sec.; Mrs. Olivia Adriene, rec. sec.; Jos. Jackson, chairman, program committee; Floyd McCard, chair, member-chair, vigilant committee, and I. M. Curry, chair, social committee who with his committee was responsible for the entire affair. Mr. Curry introduced the members of his committee: the Misses Rhoda Williams, Orpha Smith, Mamye Gassaway, Lucille Pinkney, Alma Garrett and Eula Lightner. Miss Williams furnished the music and Mrs. Myers of East Liverpool, sang a beautiful solo. Prominent among the many visitors were Mrs. L. L. Rodgers, Mrs. Anderson, and I. M. Mrs. Myers of E. Liverpool. After the dinner, which was attended by fifty persons on invitation, all entered wholeheartedly into the splendid entertainment furnished by The Douglas Club management. The affair was one of the most successful social functions of the year. Mary Strong Talks Two Great Blessings There are two great blessings in life—health and intellect.

If this report is true, it would strengthen greatly the British hold on the railroad. Ethiopians Claim Foe Routed in the South Addis Ababa. — The Ethiopian government reports the defeat of a detachment of 500 Italians in Tembib province, Nov. 30. An official communique said: "A detachment of 500 Italians was surprised in a mountain gate near Salama, Tembib province, Nov. 30.

Among the dignitaries were Tecle Hawariate, taking up his military duty for the first time since the invasion of Genova, former Minister of War Fuitarur Birou, recently reinstated to his command, and six Belgians. Oil Embargo Crisis Speeded! Paris, France. — Premier Pierre Laval has destroyed Benito Mussolini's hopes for further postponement of an oil embargo against Italy, driving the Italo-Ethiopian crisis into its decisive stage. Yielding to the imminent collapse of the massacre Sir George Russell Clerk, Laval made clear to the Italian ambassador, Victorio Cerruti, that if Duce did anything "desperate" in the Mediterranean, France and other league of nations powers would stand solidly, unreservedly behind Britain. The European crisis arising from Italy's league penalties against application of nation thus approached a climax, diplomatic sources said, reviving hopes Italy might soon be forced to get out of Ethiopia. A high Italian authority is reported by the noted French commentator, Pertinax, who added addition of oil to embargo to the sanctioning applid "would very shortly make continuation of the war impossible". tions for a long tour in Europe I snatch my pen and spend a few moments to tell you how completely I sympathize with you in your political attitude.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1935. More of our "air-minded" ought to go to Ethiopia immediately for if there is anything that the warriors of that country need, today, more than anything else it is skilled aviators. U. S. Senator Borah of Idaho (Repub.) and Arthur Brisbane, editor of the New York Journal and a leading columnist, have little use for the so called "Negro". The latter ought to reciprocate much more fully than he does. Our people gave Mayor Harold H. Burton more votes than he received in excess of the total vote given the Democratic candidate for mayor at the recent election, and, too, without any particular encouragement from Councilmen Payne, Bundy, Finkle and Hubbard. It has been officially announced that the League of Nation's sanctions have cut Italy's trade by one-half. When the League inaugurates its oil sanctions, in a week or ten days, that will about put on the finishing touch for the Italo-Ethiopian war. At least this is the general impression here and in Europe. We are not of those who believe that ex-President Herbert Hoover is desirous of being the next Republican candidate for the presidency. He can not be blamed for seeking to help nominate the right kind of a candidate. This he is clearly entitled to from every viewpoint and particularly because up to date he has done more to help the Republican party win, next year, than all of our other lead- PROMISE OR FULFILLMENT Some months ago a business man (Henry Ford) agreed to do certain things. Today it is possible to paraphrase his words in the following manner: "I am going to give work to the heads of about 500,000 families. Those who work for me directly will be given steady employment at not less than $6 a day, and will receive wages totalling over $140,000,000. Those indirectly employed in supplying materials worth $500,000,000 will receive $300,000,000 in wages". He might have continued, and said: "The industry of which I am a part will spend about $400,000,000 in wages directly, and about $850,000,000 more will be created as a result of $1,500,000,000 purchase of materials. In my own particular case, when that money has been spent and that employment given, a million persons will have new automobiles of my make. For the group as a whole, 2,925,000 new automobiles will be in use". So, in effect, spoke the business man. He said he would build a million automobiles in a year, and he built them in ten months. At approximately the same time a gentleman in Washington (President Roosevelt) said his department would, before November first, give work to about 3,500,000 people, but he did not promise a $8 a day minimum wage. As a matter of fact, he is still far from his goal a month after the promised completion. And now the same gentleman criticizes business men for not contributing more to recovery. But the Washington gentleman did accomplish something — he distributed about 120,000,000 headaches among the taxpayers. RADIO OR NEWSPAPER? In spite of much that has been written to the contrary, there need be no essential conflict between the radio and the newspaper as mediums for the dissemination of either news or advertising. Each has its place in modern life. As a matter of fact the radio could not, even if it would, usurp the recognized function of the newspaper. Radio's prime importance, as far as news is concerned, would seem to reside in the fact of its value in connection with "spot" broadcasts, particularly in the event of a major catastrophe. Aid might be summoned hastily to an area devastated by flood or fire, torn by earthquake or tornado. It is hardly likely, however, that the average citizen will be content with radio flashes for his knowledge of the event. Here the newspaper steps in and supplies him with a complete and accurate story which the radio, could not hope to provide. It is an established fact that while manufacturers recognize the value of radio, they know from long experience that it does not pay to cut the newspaper off their appropriations for advertising. Eye appeal is still the persuasive force. In launching a new product, it is customary for the manufacturer to use radio, but for the long-run task of overcoming sales resistance, the constant repetition of the newspaper ad is the most effective method. Listeners are easily disaffected by the announcer who too frequently repeats his sales talk on the air, but whether they like it or not the dialturners must take it or interrupt whatever they may be doing to get another station. The newspaper reader can, if he desires, disregard the advertising. At least he is not offended by it—a fact that assures the advertiser of the reader's good will. Prime Sport News Burgwin Wins for Reserve. By Gordon Cobbledick. A miracle was in the making out at League Park, Thanksgiving morning—a miracle of courage and determination and scorn of overwhelming odds. And then a dark streak flashed out of a tangled mass of red and white and brown, darted to the right, cut back to the left and whizzed 80 yards down the sideline to give Western Reserve a 6 to 0 victory in its 43rd battle with Case. This one lightning thrust by George (Puck) Burgwin, Reserverve's colored sophomore, was the most devastating auddeness early in the third period, was all that saved the Red Cats from the intolerable ignominy of a tie with the team that didn't have a chance. It had been a pretty even ball game until that great run of Brugin's. It was pretty even after that. 10,000 in attendance.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Sam Langford Gets a Job! New York City—Sam Langford visited Major Florio H. LaGuardia, early last week, and got a job. The old heavyweight "wonder" recently was seriously injured when struck by a taxi. While recovering in a local hospital, Langford received a note from the mayor asking him to call at City Hall when he was discharged. He did and the mayor promised to take him to the hospital. "I don't know what the job will pay," Sam said, "but if it's only $10 that'll be something. It looks like I'll have to eat pig's feet instead of turkey on Thanksgiving Day, though, for I haven't got a dime." Metcalfe O. K.'s Nazi Olympic Games, Chicago, Ill.-Five of our track and field stars, Ralph Metcalfe, Eulace Peacock, Zen Johnson, Jesse Owens and Cornelius Johnson, have written to Avery Brundage, president of the American Olympic committee, favoring American participation in the Olympic games at Berlin. They should have kept out of it. Metcalfe, a member of the 1932 American team, is communicating on opposition to United States entry in the games because of alleged racial and religious discrimination by Germany's Nazi government, that he "felt that no political situation should alter plans for the coming games in Berlin".

Leonard W. Best, bemedaled associate of the late Lawrence of Arabia, in a talk in this city, last week, predicted that the Italo-Ethiopian war would end in the next two or three months. Dr. Cotton of N. Y. City, a native of Greensboro, N. C., and a member of the race, has offered Bennett College, Greensboro, $500 providing the citizens of that city raise a like amount. Paul Robeson who arrived in Hollywood, last week, started work at once in "Showboat", the movie edition of the famous Broadway play. After completing it, he will make three other pictures and then return to London where he is already booked to appear in concerts. Gov. Harry W. Nice of Maryland says he appointed the first Afro-American corona in that state. Also that he charged all direct heads of公所 institutions in that state from white men to colored men; appointed four Afro-American magistrates and secured $50,000 for Henry Town institution and $100,000 to Morgan College, Baltimore. It is charged that the Italian high command is deliberately sacrificing in the Ethiopian war her black colonial troops and other non-Italian counterparts who owe allegiance to the Italian government. It is reported that thousands of German and black troops, led by Italian officers, have been sacrificed in this war of aggression. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

Annually, for the past 20 years, Turkey has hibernated, remaining abed until the crocuses bloomed. This year Turkey had hardly settled in his elder down when his wife, who runs the inn during his marathon snooze, called him to the telephone. "Nothing doing." grumbled Turkey, "It's the boys trying to route me out." "But it's a call from London, England," insisted Mrs. Gehrke. So 212 pound Turkey reluctantly—and doubtfully—waddled to the phone. "I say, Turkey, do you sleep all winter?" came the voice of an English newspaper man. "Sure thing," replied Turkey.

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 nationality of the law and it has been very effective. Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead in enacting mob violence or anti-lynching 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: 6223. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6223. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6224. Limitations of action. 6224. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "nunching" 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 disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received the theorem is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars. 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 6282. The legal representative, of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor or children surviving such person, such sum shall be distributed among such person shall be distributed among 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 lynch, thus requiring 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 case may recover the amount of a juvenile and costs against it in favor of the legal authorities of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of money from such 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 disperse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) not relieve a person concerned in violence from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (92 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894. The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, clothing store, or other place of public accommodation conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty dollars 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 use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

Mrs. Dorothy Fuldheim, Cleveland lecturer, told the local Community Religious Hour audience in the Little Theater of Public Hall, Sunday afternoon, that American citizens should swear undying hostility to every form of dictatorship. She said also that in the United States, people buy clothing or other commodities with their money; that newspapers with long lists of subscribers were unable to serve them because they could not get paper; that text books, for small children, used isolated incidents in other countries to glorify the oppression of slaves were the happiest and most cultured people in the world, but also the most brutal, believing in revolution and not reformation. Russia a Dictatorship. Russia, she said, believed war to be inevitable, and had stored supplies of grenades in tanks and contiguous to China. The Russian government, she asserted, was as much of a dictatorship as the Fascist and Nazistic forms. She predicted that Socialists and Communists would come into power in France if prices continued to rise while wages went down, and told of paying 20 cents for an apple in Germany when it was 10 cents a week. She called Mussolini an "stuffed shirt" who was trying to give Italians Ethiopia when they were crying for spaghetti. In the question period Mrs. Fuldheim said she believed the United States could keep out of a world conflict only by foregoing every possibility of profit from it; that sanctions would stop Italy only it co-operating nations except China, and without exception, citing sales of oil except exception; and that capitalism had given greater personal liberty than any other economic system.

GREEN Vocal Holmes What proved to be one of the most enjoyable and successful testimonial dinners ever given in this city was that of November 15, 1935, in the private dining-room of the Phyllis Wheatley Association, honoring "The Old Reliable Queen" at a reception upon the third year of continuous publication, every week Mr. Leland D. French, chairman; Rev. Horace C. Bailey, James A. Rogers and Capt. Chas. E. Frye, all longtime residents of Cleveland, constituted the citizen committee which not only alive but arranged an ex-convict to be successful social function. They were in full charge of the preparations for it, from the beginning to the end, and certainly are entitled to all the praise showed upon them, November 15, 1935, and ever since. Opening the dinner about 6:30 p. m., Mr. who inaugurated the testimony which culminated in the testimonial dinner "May I take this opportunity to express to you the sincere congratulations of the committee of arrangements: 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 occasion." Dr. Bailey said in part: Dr. Bailey said in his book, "Friends, and Gentlemen: We need to express our sincere appreciation of as well as our gratitude to a fellow citizen and co-laborer for his long and faithful work for humanity; for the civil and political rights of all men irrespective of race, creed or color, in the person of the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette. We can not enumerate all the good he has done and endeavored for the great city of Cleveland in general 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 attitude toward his fellow-man, regardless of creed or color, to be one of sympathy and helpfulness. This testimonial dinner is given in order that his immediate friends acquaintances may be informed of their opinion of his enturing endeavors to cheer and help mankind in general and those of Cleveland in particular." Dr. Bailey who introduced Chairman French who read the following telegrams and letters: Stanford University, Calif. November 27, 1935. Mr. Leland D. French. 2118 E. 46th St. Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. French:—I would indeed be glad if you would include my greetings with the many others to Mr. Smith. His has been a long and invaluable service to the Republican cause. Every Republican is indebted to him. Yours faithfully. Herbert Hoover. Cleveland, Nov. 15, '35. Mr. Leland D. French. E. 46th St. and Cedar Ave. Cleveland, Ohio. I join with all Cleveland in honoring Hon. Harry C. Smith today. Cleveland, Nov. 12, '35. Mr. Leland D. French, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Mr. French:—I thank you very much for your letter of October 31st, inviting me to join in dinner hostage and sincerely regret my inability to join you on that occasion in doing honor to one to whom so much honor is due. I have known Harry Smith nearly fifty years. In that time he has been a remarkable person. His devotion to his own people and his service to the nation has been the highest order. He has always had the highest 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 fit for the town to have such a citizen. I hope you will convey to him and to his friends who join in honoring him my tribute of sincere respect and my hope that he will live long to continue his valuable service. With much regard, believe me Yours very truly. W. R. Hopkins. Former City Manager. Cincinnati, O., Nov. 6, '35. Leland D. French, Esq. Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Mr. French:—I greatly Judge Hull. regret that circumstances beyond my control render impossible my attendance and participation in the glorious tribute to Hon, Harry C. Smith, Cleveland's gallant old warrior, who has for so many years been on the battle-front and borne the brunt of the war. He was a hero. May the sunlight of prosperity, ever illumine his pathway. Respectfully and with best wishes, Yours to command, Wendell P. Dabney Chicago, Ill., Nov. 12, '35. Mr. Leland D. French, 2118 East 46th Street, Cleveland, Ohio. My best Mr. French:—Enclosed heath with my greetings which I shall feel privileged to have extended to my old friend, Harry C. Smith, at his fifty-third anniversary celebration. My health prevents my personally attending but I think that you and the citizens of Cleveland are exhibiting a fine spirit to one who has served you so faithfully for these many years. Best luck, Sincerely, Robert S. Abbott. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 12, '35. Mr. Harry C. Smith, Nebraska. My dear Harry:—It shall always be one of the greatest regrets of my life that I was unable to be present with the group of distinguished citizens of your town who are meeting Friday night to pay you homage for the service you have rendered in the journalistic world because of your country. My health forbids that, but it cannot prevent my extending to you across the miles a hearty handclasp and sincere good wishes to add to the many other commendations that you are now receiving from citizens of your immediate environment. You have fought a good fight. You have given the faith. You have given your all to the progress of your race, and above all, you have blazoned a trail in the journalistic world which they have to follow to the mark's ever hope to follow. No one can do more. And now, my sincerest wish is that you continue to grow more important — more interested and more conscious of the cause you serve as the years pass on. Wishing you much happiness on this, your night of nights, I am Cleveland, O., Nov. 13, '35. My dear Mr. French:—This is to advise that I received the card stating a reservation had been made for me at the Harry C. Smith testimonial dinner, Friday, Nov. 15, at the P. W. A. I regret that ill-health prevents my attending this affair. I have known Hon. Mr. Harry C. Smith since my coming to Cleveland, fifty-three years ago. I also knew of the advent of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Hon. Mr. Smith has done much to further the cause of the race, and is to be commended for such a long period of enviable records. My best wishes for the success of the dinner, to the honored guest and guests assembled, to pay tribute to Hon. Harry C. Smith. Cleveland, O. Nov. 20. '35. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith:—I am taking this opportunity to congratulate you on the celebration accorded to you by your fellow townmen. I am sure, from all the evidences of the high standard of the work that you are carrying on, that you are deserving of every bit of it. My kindest personal regards. Simonely yours. CUYAHOGA COUNTY EMERGENCY SCHOOLS, Glenn D. King, County Supervisor. Excerpts from Some of the Many Responses. "Mr. Toastmaster, Hon. Harry C. Smith and my friends gathered here on this occasion, it is a special privilege for me to come here not only to pay my personal tribute, which I would be glad to do at any event, but also have the privileges of bringing the official dedication from the city of Cleveland, on this occasion honoring an institution. It certainly is fitting that the city pay tribute to that institution. More than that I believe that the Hon. Harry C. Smith has contributed to our community and has left with us a monument, a memorial, a tribute and years and YEARS! The Civil Rights law, which he sponsored in THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1935. Judge Levine. the State Assembly of Ohio, is a monument that I believe certainly interprets to us the character of the author. This is one of the greatest pleasures I have ever had and is the first occasion I have had to bring official greetings from the state to my tribute to the author of this law. I wish for him continued success for many years to come". Judge Manuel Levine "Knowing The Gazette as well as I do, it is almost difficult to express myself in the few moments allotted to me. The outstanding achievement of our guest of honor is his fight for those who have no friends. Was it Wadsworth who said, 'he is brave who fears not to speak for the fallen and weak.' That is life. The Mayor spoke of the Civil Rights law. Remember this, he asserted his best opinion that he was but so great was his power that white members of both bodies fought for it and none of the members of the lower branch voted against it. It has been my pleasure, time and again, to interpret that law. I am now addressing myself to the honored guest who serves the American people as well as the human race. I am hopeful that some day the human race will be of race and color, and even creed, will disappear. You are the messenger of peace. May God prolong your life so that your usefulness will become apparent and felt everywhere". Judge Bradley Hull of the Municipal Court "I am most happy to be here to pay a personal tribute to my good friend, Harry C. Smith. You know I was thinking as the other speakers were talking, about how true it is that Editor Smith is one of the last surviving representatives of the old school of American journalism. In the old days we had outstanding personalities. If you spoke of the New York Sun, immediately you thot of Charles A. Dana. The name of Horace Greeley will live forever in American journalism, and his name is also the name of the newspaper he produced. Nowadays newspapers are corporations and not only corporations, but now they have holding companies which remove them one step further from the masses of the people. I don't know an editor who so well retains the American trait of journalism as the . . . hon.arry C. Smith. His has been n truth and fact a strong voice". \tty. Alexander H. Martin "I am very pleased to be here as a mark of tribute to the man and his career of whom I believe Cleveland and far and near delights to honor. have observed his career here fifty years. There has been much to do in the way of pioneering in that time. He is a pioneer newsman- [Name] Atty. Alex. Martin. man. He is a pioneer in the realm of politics. He joins up the present day with that one in which the great man and mankind have functioned. We haven't accomplished much in solving problems to which Mr. Smith has dedicated his life. I believe that our nation will be the poorer because the solution of those problems will be deferred because we haven't produced enough men with the outlook of statesmen, with ideas of justice and justice which the "Old Reliable" Gazette its esteemed editor have always stood for. I hope the day will come when Former President Herbert Hoover there will be a finer appreciation of what he has striven to do". Mrs. Mary B. Martin. "In looking over this table here I have been wondering just how many in this body knew Mr. Smith as early in life as I did. Since we ladies are not supposed to tell our ages I'll only say I came to Cleveland in 1886, and Mr. Smith then was a very prominent citizen. He immediately felt the fact that he was always interested in young people. I am very happy to be here this evening to pay tribute to Cleveland's honored citizen". Judge A. J. Pearson "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 I won't. I have known The Gazette for a good many years. The young people of this community and especially of this group will be a long time realizing what he went thru that they could have the privileges that they have at the present time. The fact that Harry Smith has stood and fought so hard is a reason that your group are getting the things they are enjoying at this time. The fact that you have a number of young people 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 community". Judge H. L. Eastman. "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 I heard 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 Gibraltar in this community. Later on when I was a teacher, 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 kind of an editor and the same kind of a paper. I like his paper for one reason if not another. 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 paper than it is about what has put into his paper and thru his paper into his readers. There is perhaps today more competition in the newspaper field. There are different ideas of running newspapers. I think Mr. Smith has several good ones. I think that it would be too bad if anything should happen to Mr. Smith's newspaper. I feel that he deserves all the support and all the appreciation that your people can give him. I think perhaps his people ought to have done better than it in this community. I want to wish you, Mr. Smith, very many more years of success, and I hope that you will continue along the lines that you are going". Former Senator John P. Green. Former Senator John P. Green. He have been in Cleveland 78 years, since we see another age. I will he 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 has been a statesman, and he mentions 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 congratulate him. I praise every man that know he is fit. And Mr. Smith is fit. Harry C. Smith is known over the United States. He is honest. 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". Judge Arthur Krause, who is one of the youngest if not the youngest person 207 W. 11th St. Mayor Burton. in this room. I was most fortunate in having the privilege and oppor- tunity of knowing very intimately and very well the Hon. Harry C. Arthur Krause. Smith when I was only seven years of age. And you might be interested to know that I helped mail out The Gazette, thirty years ago. The chance that affected me thru knowing him has certainly stood me well." Mr. Paul Apple. "Forty years ahead of his people," the evidence is in the passing of the Ohio Civil Rights law in 1894 and the Ohio Mob Violence Act in 1896. Harry C. Smith started to fight for them long before many of us here were born, and he is still at it. Many of the men whom he has fought in behalf of his people have since admired and respected him, and are now smash in their support of him. How much has he was taken from his own people to go along with him while fighting for their interests. I am happy to be here on this occasion honoring my long-time friend, Mr Smith, during his lifetime". Atty. Frank G. Jones "It was a great pleasure to me when I received an invitation to attend this dinner. It has been my privilege to have known the Hon. Harry C. Smith since I first came to Cleveland and I have valued his work. I learned with great pleasure and I am deeply gratified for having had the opportunity of sitting at his feet on many, many occasions and to have heard from him the courageous expressions of the things for which he has stood. In addition to that, during the years I have worked with him followed the things that he has stood for thru that good paper of his, THE GAZETTE. It has been said that he who leads must know the way. And that certainly can be said of Harry C. Smith. He has had the courage to follow those convictions that have been his. And certainly he who has worked with him with better persons for having done so. May I wish him many more useful years. James A. Rogers In presenting the scroll with proper introductory, containing the names of those in attendance upon the dinner, he said also; "I am very glad to be here to extend my congratulations for your untiring efforts in behalf of our people, Mr. Smith has convictions and you can't turn him from them. I hope that all of your efforts will continue to be crowned with success, Mr. Smith". Leland D. French. chairman of the committee of arrangements. "I do not know of anything that has given me more pleasure than arranging 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. He is a man of great 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 known of Mr. Smith. I hope he will agreed that he has not only made a record in this city, county and state but in the nation. May his every effort be crowned with success. "Mr. Smith, the wood-work of this scroll was prepared by boys of Cleve land's Central High school — the school you attended." Judge Pearson. had done nothing else for all people of this state but secure the enactment of Ohio's Civil Rights law and Ohio's Mob Violence act, or Anti-Lynching Dr. J. K. Nickens. law, that would have been enough to endear him to all appreciative persons as long as memory lasts. I also congratulate him on The Gauzette's entrance upon its fifty-third year of continuous publication, every week on time". Dr. E. A. Bailey. Toastmaster, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, ladies and gentlemen: I do not know of any other thing which would afford me more pleasure, or as much pleasure, as being here tonight. Some one has well said that some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. I am not sure I believe that true greatness is the handwork of God and that leaders are born and not made. Schools and colleges may help to develop that which has been endowed by nature, but schools and colleges, of themselves, have never produced leaders. The character whom we honor here, tonight, in my opinion, possesses all the characteristics of a real, genuine leader, and I am happy at the feet of you as a hero worshiper at the feet of your father, who shall always be grateful, personally, to "The Old Reliable" Gazette and to its editor. There has never been a Dr. E. A. Bailey. time when I have had occasion to call upon him but that he has always answered. I have had a keen interest in watching the career of Mr. Smith for more than twenty years, and I defy those, if there be such, who dare question his right to the most honored and exalted place in the gift of this community. To my personal knowledge, he has turned down an excellent opportunities for himself to serve the people. Some call him "a race man," and I call him more than that. He is a benefactor of all people. Yes, I join with those who believe that we should give flowers while their fragrance can be enjoyed by one who, so richly deserves and has won them thru years of sacrificing toil and endeavor, not only for his own people but for all humanity. "HE LOVETH BEST WHO SERVEH BEST ALL, BOTH GREAT AND SMALL." Cincinnati, O., Nov. 26, '35. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Ed. My dear Mr. Smith;—I have just received a copy of the *Gazette* of Nov. 23rd thru Mr. Eugene McCarthy, of The Cleveland Catholic Press, Inc., giving an account of the fine tribute paid you on the evening of Nov. 15th by many esteemed friends. I can remember the eminently fitting, proper and deserving of one whom I feel has made a distinct contribution to the race, and I might say, humanity. It has been my pleasure to have known you for many years, and I have always admired you for your fearlessness as a man, and for your devotion to every cause that has the semblance of justice. Your life C. H. Judge Eastman. should be an inspiration to every young man who wishes to do something constructive and helpful for humanity's cause. With very kind personal regards, believe me Sincerely yours, Geo. W. B. Conrad, President, National Catholic Federation. MISS CHRYSTAL WRITES. Dear Mr. Smith: After having read so many commendable remarks about your fifty-three years' progress as a newspaper editor, I think there is little for me to add since I have now learned the period (seven years) of time in comparison with the others mentioned in The Gazette. I always read articles in the daily papers that mention your name and those written and signed by you. I hope you will have a pleasant Thanksgiving. With kind regards, am I yours truly, Chrystal Newsome, Lowman's Pavilion, City Hospital. Rev. Bailey. Many other splendid responses were made in addition to those of Capt. Chas. E. Frye, Mrs. Banks, Mrs. Marie T. Gates, Miss Jane Hunter, Mr. and Mrs. Harold T. Gassaway, Mrs. Jas. A. Rogers, Messrs. R. K. Moon, Emmett J. Meade, W. J. Foster, J. H. Beckwith, Roy S. Rector, Dr. James K. Nickens, Editors Ormond A. Forte and William O. Walker, all conferees; Mme. Minnie Gentles Turner, florist, who furnished an abundance of beautiful flowers for the occasion. In concluding the speech-making, Mr. Smith thanked all for the splendid demonstration and the kind kindness of the girls said by many speakers in their responses. He also said that he never expected to live long enough to participate in such a splendid demonstration and concluded his talk with a number of reminiscences which were very interesting and pleased greatly. AN HONOR DESERVED. The giving of a testimonial dinner on Friday night of this week in honor of the Honorable Harry C. Smith, veteran editor of the Gazette, by a committee of citizens headed by Le兰D. French, is one of those little drops of kindness which makes one aware that the "old world is not such a bad place after all". For it is not often that those of our own country are worthy of any public recognition for services rendered to the cause of racial progress and development. The career of Harry C. Smith is marked and significant in the field of Negro journalism. He is one of the signal posts along the road, pointing the way out of the wilderness. More than half-a-century ago, before the editor of The Eagle had seen the light of day, The Gazette had hoisted its banner—held aloft in the hands of one of the "rugged individuals" of the race, and had been still afloat. And what sacrifice and resourcefulness and determination it has taken to do this, we of The Eagle very keenly understand! So, we are happy today to be privileged to send a word of greeting to our esteemed contemporary, and gladly join hands with Mr. French and his committee in doing our outstanding fellow citizen deserved honor. — Cleveland Eagle, Ormond A. Forte, editor
