ALASKA CAPTAIN
CHARLIE SMITH
DIES OFF AFRICA

Capt Charlie Smith, who for
many years sailed on the Alaska
run. has embarked on his last
long voyage, according to word re-
ceived here today. He was buried
at sea off the South African coast
from the deck of his ship, the
Robin Adair.
Captain Smith, in his sixties, had
commanded the Robin Adair from
the day she was built in Seattle
during World War days, and took
her through dozens of sea lanes,
and for several years had been en-
gagged by the Seas Shipping Com
pany from New York to Capetown.
Born in Scotland, Capt. Smith
went to Vancouver, B. c., in the
carly 19C0's, and few years later
moved to Seattle. His first job
was as Waterman aboard Sound
steamers plying to the British Co.
lumbia port, and then worked into
his first ticket around 1904. The
year 1908 found him as third mate
aboard the old Victoria. He was
Gu the old Dirigo, the Farallon and
the Portland and other famous old
ships that made their mark in
Northwest waterfront history.
Besides the Alaska run: Capt.
Smith was we'll known along the
coast, having been in the old Adj
miral Watson, the Buchanan and
others.

Hank Brouillette is back in his
fieht togs for tonight's battle sched-
uled in the Elks Hall semi final
with Joe Krisko-setting fans up for
a sweet battle before the headline
event.
1t was thought Brouillette would
not be able to make the fight be-
cause of a bad shift at the mine, but
reports now are that he will be in
there.
Both Brouilette and Krisko are
sluggers. Someone is going to get
hurt.
Odds are even on the Austin
Brown Larry Trambitas scrap.
Brown not as practiced a fighter
as fast stepping Trambitas, but new
ertheless fancy glove handler with
a potent punch when a good toss is
needed.
Nobody paid much attention to
Brown until the last night here
when he drew with Larrys brother,
well-muscled Jack Trambitas. Fans
saw Brown tie up Trambitas at will
and occasionally hit him very dam
agingly. Larry will have to box
tonight to keep this conner from
climbing into the first class bracket
of the local ring.
In the two openers. Roy Brown
and Steve Paleza are scheduled to
have a real Suggest, while Gene Lee
and Pete Villa will try to hammer
each other to the canvas in the

The first two bouts should be
good entertainment. The finals
should be cracking good battles.

Judge "Win the Negroes vote

The scribeS then of course, wanted
to know why.
"YOu see", said the learned
attorney, "there are number
of questions all intelligent vOt-
ers must ask themselves before
making up their minds as to
how they will pull the lovers on
election day. Now let's look at
the record. What has Mr..
Willkie done in the past to
prove that he is sympathetic

"Sure he'll promise us the moon,

It went on to say that, he fired a

Bv EMMETT ]. SCOTT

WASHINGTON, D. .C.-Vice Pres
idential Candidate Henry Wallace
in an address at the American Ne
gro Exposition in Chicago last
week, speaking to an audience of
responsible Colored persons, said:
We must do all we can
to get rid of hatred and discrim-
nation and give human beings
the opportunity to which they are
entitled. There is no better way
to rearm democracy" He en-
weighed against class, religious
and racial determinations:
1t is ironicaF to note the Demo-
cratic Vice Presidential Candidate
addressing these remarks to the
victims of the racial hatred and
discrimination Instead he should
have, been turning his burning
wrath upon that element of his
New OealDemocratic Party which
has brought SO much of misery and
despair to the Co1ored people of
the United States,-the Political
oligarchies of the South which con-
stitute the main controlling body
of the Democratic Party.
NOT THE AUTHORS
It is misplaced effort to be ask
ing Colored people Ito get rid of
hatred and discrimination" They
are not the authors of visiting dis
elimination upon others. They
are the victims of a closely-knit
political organization which by op-
preston, suppression and exploita-
ticn, is chiefly responsible for the
truly atrociouS treatment Colored
citizens suffer in that Southern
region where democracy is a mock
cry. and where liberty and freedom
are lip-service terms instead of
symbols of law and order, equal
opportunity, and civil liberty.
The observer more than once,
has called attention to the fact
that this Colored group in the
South, where the New Deal-Demo-
cratic Party controls and suppresses
the Negro vote by disfranchisement
laws which are disgrace in land
which boasts that democracy is its
foundation stone, suffers from the
kind of class and racial discrimina-
ton to which Mr.. Wallace refers.
A. A. A. is FARCE
Mr.. Wallace's Agricultural Prof.
ects, one by one, have proved to be
farces insofar as Colored farmers in
the Southern Section are concern
ed.
Instead, farm jobs are provided
which pay the magnificent sum of

Studied at Home
John was sent to MayflOwer
School, where Miss Laura Spelman,
who later became Mrs. John D.
Rockefeller, was then teacher.
Studying hard, he advanced to the
Hudson Street Grammar School.
When his help was needed by
the family, he was taken from
school and learned to cane chairs.
That was in 1859. In the next few
years he did various kinds of jobs
working for one year in Pittsburgh
but continued to study privately.
After short time spent in doc
tors office, he changed his mind
about being doctor and decided
to study law. He read law in the
office of Judge Jesse P. Bishop and
in 1869 was graduated from the
Union Law College.
Married when "a, and out OF
funds, he took his wife to South
Carolina and opened store in 8

law, however, and was admitted tc
the bar September 20, 1870.
Long in Public Service
Leaving South Carolina, he re-
turned to Cleveland the winter ol
1928. Beginning by being elect

of public service in many capacities,
