"I firmly believe that the time has come when our people will support such an organization with their interest and time and a portion of their means. Already the Negro press is keenly alert on this subject, and let me say in passing that the Negro newspapers, whatever may be their private differences, have absolutely rung true when it comes to justice and fair play for the Negro people. We owe them a debt of gratitude which we can never adequately pay. The Negro news- Dr. Robert Russia Moton. papers have supported this movement from the beginning. The Negro newspapers are read more studiously and quoted more regularly by the white press of the country than ever before. Negro correspondents and staff writers are employed by the leading dailies. This change from the former attitude of the white press is due to the recognized importance and values of the Negro press as a factor in our national life, and the ability of our group as thinkers and writers in dealing with present day subjects."—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, Ala. Normal School and president of our National Finance Corporation. Wm.

The Injunction Asked by "HIPOP" Barber, a Now One To Us. Youngstown, O—A temporary injunction to restrain Edward Hadley, R. B. Harris, J. D. Walker and W. Gromartiel evangelists, from holding religious services in Masoning county was granted. Monday, by Common Pleas Judge George H. Gessner, on petition of John D. Barber, who asserts he holds the position of acting bishop, and general overseer in this district for a society known as "Triumph of the Church and Kingdom of God in Christ." He claims to have been appointed, April 1, 1920, for life or during good behavior. The acting bishop alleges the four defendants are seeking to oust him from his churches, whose properties he claims are worth $100,000.—Do not fail to give the local agent your order for a copy of "The Old Rellable" Gazette, every week, and keep abreast of the race's news.

"When Black Meets White," by Dr. John Louis Hill, discusses ably the so-called "race problem" in America. Mr. Hill, a southerner by birth and a northerner as a result of twenty years' residence, is well fitted by experience to discuss both the northern and, southern attitude toward the Afro-American. He cites the mistakes and unfairness of both sections of the country. He points out the progress, loyalty and perseverance of our people despite both. The book contains no maudlin sentiment, but facts, statistics, names and dates to convince the most incredulous. His constant plea is for recognition, on the score of our achievements and not the color of the skin. In conclusion, he states that proportionate "Negro" representation should obtain in business, politics, education—that there are Afro-Americans eminently fitted to fill cabinet positions and that the time will come when they will do so. The book contains sixteen chapters, race history as well as race relations; also sixteen illustrated sketches of departed leaders of the race whose lives have been an inspiration. A copy of "When Black Meets White" should be in every home as it is not only a book well worth reading but an absolute library necessity. The Argyle Publishing Co., Geo. W. Stone Bldg., Cleveland, O., publishers. Denounces U. S. Hatti Hold. Denounce U. S. Haiti Hold. Williamstown, Mass.—The military occupation of Haiti and the Dominican republic (Santo Domingo) cannot be justified either by invoking the Monroe doctrine or by any other accepted principle of American foreign policy, Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director-general of the Pan-American union, concluded in his round table conference on Latin-American affairs at the Institute of Politics, Monday. "The evacuation of the Dominican republic which has just been completed," he said, "should be followed as soon as possible by the evacuation of Haiti." [From the Zanesville, O. O.] Daily Times-Recorder. The Negro vote will be an entirely new proposition this year—certainly different from the past. It cannot be reckoned with or counted upon in the old way. The Negro vote is becoming an educated vote, an intelligent vote and is no longer a driven vote. The editor of The Crisis, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, after reviewing the records of the two major parties and noting their favors and their failures, calls for the use of the ballot with far-reaching intelligence. "We must learn to vote," he says, "we must study democracy and government. Let us learn what voting means and for whom to vote and how to vote ourselves into free, modern, industrial democracy." Under circumstance, which be commendable is impossible, the editor declares, for the enfranchised African Americans to vote a straight ticket for their of the parties. "Our voting," he declares, "must be primarily a matter of individual candidates for office. In order to vote effectively we must know the records of candidates. We must demand of them clear statements as to their attitude toward matters of vital interest to us." We must utterly ignore party labels and vote for the men who will best serve us and our country." These extracts show how the Afro-American feels, show how he is thinking, show how he is laboring to better his condition and conditions for his children. The N. A. A. C. P. has let it be known that the main problem before the Afro-American, today, is the use of his vote in the approaching election. With colored people, like with thousands of others, it will soon be the man rather than the party. ANTI-LYNCHING PLACARDS Create a Stir in England's Capital City—The London Press Suppresses Practically All Reference to Them—The Effect Good Nevertheless. New York City.—The N. A. A. C. P. has received a letter from Percy E. Hurst of the Law Reform Association in London, England, telling of the stir created during the recent visit there of the American Bar Association, by its anti-lynching placards displayed by "sandwichmen" who paraded up and down the main streets. So marked was the effect of the posters that an "unseen hand" had the "sandwichmen" relegated to side streets, writes Mr. Hurst, saying: "I think it has been a very successful display as it has attracted widespread attention from our own public and from your lawyers, but there has undoubtedly been an unseen hand at work to nullify if possible the efforts that have been made. This has been noticeable from the fact that after the "sandwichmen" had paraded for several days the hotels where the lawyers mostly put up, the police made these men stand by in side streets for which act there was no possible excuse. Furthermore, practically all comment has been kept out of the British press as to the demonstration made. This is no doubt due to the fact that almost all the editors of the London newspapers being lawyers, and it is therefore easy to understand the desire to suppress all agitation for strengthening the law and ending its abuses." The N. A. A. C. P. is still receiving letters as a result of these placards, asking for the facts about lynching. A. La Follette Lector Chicago, Ill.—The La Follette campaign management has decided to have an Afro-American elector on their ticket in this state and hope Ohio's La Follette management will do so also. There will also be a member of the race on the state and Cook (Chicago) county La Follette executive committees. Mrs. Alice (Paul) Dunbar Nelson of New Jersey has been appointed eastern organizer of Afro-American women for the La Follette candidacy. Mack C. Spears has been appointed organizer for La Follette-for-President clubs in this state, Missouri, Colorado, Utah and California. Candidate for Congress New York City—Dr. Charles Roberts, formerly an alderman and one of the best-known politicians in the city, has been selected as the Republican candidate for the House of Representatives from the 21st Congressional District, Manhattan, N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Walker of Middletown are spending part of their vacation in the city. The former was editor of our paper there for more than two years, disposing of it recently.

Scott Speaks, as a Result—Cheap White Female Politicians. Westport, N. Y.—After a memorial service, Sunday, for Miss Inez Milholland, age of the woman who, in the midst of campaigning for suffrage in the west, the delegates filed out of the Little Congregational church at Lewis, twelve miles from here, and marched to the top of the near-by mountain, where the dead feminist leader is buried. His Afro-American Guests The Hon. John W. Milholland, her father, had with him three house guests, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary and treasurer of Howard university, Washington, D. C.; Miss Lucy D. Slowe, professor of the department of women at Howard university, and Mrs. A. W. Hunton of New York City, representing the N. A. A. C. P. None of them had been asked to participate in the program at the grave, Mr. Milholland. In the midst of the services, suddenly yielded to obvious emotion, and said: True As Stock "Friends of Inez. I am her father, and I want to say to you now what I had not intended to say until now as I stand here beside her grave. I feel it my duty to speak out. If I did not, I think her spirit would rise up from the grave and say to me, "Dad, why were you afraid?" And so I want to remand you that in the first suffrage parade, Inez, herself demanded that the colored women be allowed to march, and now, today, we were told it would mar the program to have these guests of mine speak. I have nothing to say except that Inez believed in equal rights for everybody." There was a pause, as Mr. Milholland finished, and the guilty leaders of the party talked together in low tones. Then they asked Dr. Scott to say something. "Dr. Scott Speaks! "Inez Milholland had the courage to face the application of democratic principles and was not afraid to follow them to their logical end," began Dr. Scott. "Those who fight for a great ideal do not fear to be counted as a friend of the friendless and defender of the weak, and she was that, and more. Howard university holds dear among its tradi- OUR STATE. CANDIDACY, A VICTORY! Dunbar High School. Washington, D. C., Aug. 16. '24 Hon. Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Harry: Once more you have carried our standard to victory; for the liberalizing influence of your campaign upon American public opinion is beyond calculation. It has directed Negro aspirations to the high functions of government, and taught him that he belongs in places of power; while the white man, recovering from his first shock to find himself unhurt, will begin to recognize the Negro's right to any office in the gift of the nation. To find that so many of our men and women have overcome the overwhelming force of habit, the conscienceless leadership of demagogues, and the lure of money to vote their conscience and intelligence, is heartening in the extreme. Keep up the fight, run again and again, and some day we will have Negroes in the U.S. Senate and House; yea, in every branch of our national, state, county and municipal governments. Then, and only then, can we call America a democracy. Your comrade in the Cause. Neval H. Thomas. Hallie Q. Brown and Linc. Johnson, Chicago, Illinois.—Miss Hallie Q. Brown has been chosen to direct our women in the Republican campa ign for Coolidge and Dawes. The appointment was made known by Mrs. A. T. Hert of Kentucky. Miss Brown began work at the Chicago headquarters, Aug. 18. This is her pay for "truckling" to the white po- litical bosses in Ohio and elsewhere. She and Henry Lincoln Johnson simply won't see the shameful and humiliating Coolidge administration segregation of our men and women employees at Washington, D. C. and elsewhere in the government service. Shame, O! SHAME!!!

"We didn't want it to go out," she said, "that we were bringing in the colored people. It would be bad politics. We want to try to elect some congressmen in southern states and, after all, this is our convention—not Mr. Milholland's." Mrs. Boyers ought to be sent back South, immediately. Miss Alice Paul of Washington, the vice president of the party, said: "This was arranged as a demonstration of women and it was no place for colored people to speak. We had invited them to carry a wreath to the grave and their feelings were not hurt." Another candidate for permanent residence in the South. These two women should be relegated to the rear or dropped entirely from the woman suffrage organization and movement. Cheap female politicians. DAWES SEES IT, TOO. La Follette And Bryan's Brother Have a Good Chance to Be The Next President. A startling feature of Gen. Dawes' speech of acceptance is the frank admission that the result of the La Follette candidacy "may be to deadlock the contest for the presidency and make Bryanism succeed the Coolidge policy." This plainly indicates the general's apprehension that there may be no majority in the electoral college and that the U. S. house of representatives may fall to elect a president with the result that Charles W. Bryan may be chosen president by the American senate. La Follette, not Davis, is designated as the chief opponent of the Republican presidential candidate, Mr. "Segregation" Coolidge, but Bryan is indicated as the man who will succeed to the presidency if the Coolidge-Dawes ticket falls of an electoral college majority at the election in November. Nursed a Bear! New York City—The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has given a medal to Effie M. Beal (white). On it is written: "Awarded to Effie M. Beal for her extraordinary acts of motherly devotion." Her husband, a New England lumberman, found a new born cab. He shot it's mother to get the hide and the bounty, brought home the tiny bear, found between the mother's paws, its eyes not yet opened. Mrs. Beal nursed that bear, not much bigger than a kitten, and nursed her infant at the same time, one on one side, one on the other. "Mother love," maybe. Made Yorath Leave $9,000 a Year Edmonton, Alberta, Canada—Overruling city commissioner Yorath's order barring our people from the municipal swimming pool, the city council voted that the pool was for the benefit of ALL races.

It, our vote was announced, was vetween eighty-four and eighty-five thousand. From that on until evening our vote steadily decreased to about fiftees thousand.

Gol. House says he considers the Lendori conference the most impor tant since the peace conference. In- deed st is, and with this further dis- tinction: The peace conference wa: the forerunner of almost six years ot the bitterest wrangling among the nations of Europe, often bringing to the brink of a war among them- selves the very nations that were al- Med against *he Central Powers. The London conference apparently {s to ‘be the preliminary to many years of mutual understanding and prosper- ity among those countries. The for- mer was domizated by an American ‘who concerned himself chiefly with making the United States a party to Old World problems, The latter has also been dominated by Americans, Doth tn the formulation of the Dawes plan and in efforts to make it prac- tically effective, but they have all Deen most careful not to speak tor the United States officially. The London conference, however, is lit- tle more important than the Wash- ington conference on limitation of armaments. “LINC” JOHNSON'S DISLOYALTY. In the editorial, in our last issue, on “Our Two State Candidates,” we neglected to mention the fact that the Coolidge control of the Repub- Mican National Committee and the Ohio Republican Executive Commit- tee had Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, one of our two members of the Republican National Committee, ‘campaigning Ohio for about two ‘weeks, prior to the recent primaries, fm the interest of President Coolidge and certain state candidates, and tn- dentally against OUR two candi- dates tor the Republican nomination for Governor and Lieutenant-Gov- armor. While “Line” 4id act dare to openly oppose Messrs. Smith and Shanklin he @id it by the free use of inuendo, At Springfield, for in- stance, week before last, during the course of his speech, after praising certain white candidates his. polit- ical bosses had him “plugging” for, “Line” said sarcastically that he had “no ambition to be governor or lieu- tenant-governor” and that he thot tt was not yet time for our people to bo aspiring to such high’ positions This is undoubtedly the talk of his white political masters. But we thot Henry Lincoln Johnson too able a mat, too loyal a member of the race with too much self and race respect, to stoop to such a dispicable course as his use of inuendo at Springfield and elsewhere in the state against OUR two state candidates. We arc sorry, We thought Henry Lincoln Johnson a very different sort of man. When he was here in Cleveland, ir attendanee upon the Republican Ne tional Convention, the writer talked with him relative to our candidacte for the gubernatorial nomination: and apparently tie had race anc heart ‘interest in them. And ther to have him “turn turtle” at thi “eleventh hour” and at his whit ‘masters’ bidding! It is too much too much, and shows just what th ‘man really is. “Negroes” thruow ‘Ohio and the country, espectall ‘those in-Georgia and the South, wil please file the above informatio for present and future use. OUR FORTY-SECOND YEAR! Forty-dne years ago, next Mon- day, on August 25, 1883, The Ga- zette was launched upon “the trou- bled seas” of journalism, and there have been SOME “troubled seas” tor it, in years gone by, as all of our oldest readers can attest. But “The Old Reliable,” as The Gazette is now known from one end of this country to the other, “weathered” them, and more! For isn't it enter- ing upon its forty-second year of continuous publication, every week ‘on time since the date of its birth? TT CERTAINLY IS! In itself, » re- ‘markable record which few papers ‘of any class or group of people in ‘this country can duplicate. Amd more! From its efforts, many years ago, to help wipe out “The Black ‘Laws of Ohio;” to enact a Civil Rights law and an Anti-Lynching Jaw for this state; to help defend and protect our people, not only of the state but of the-entire country; and to blaze the way to wiser po- Utieal and other action in order that ‘something like reasonable recogni- tion and better treatment might be secured, to its latest effort to teach Jour people of Ohio their great |strength as a voting factor of the | Republican party of this state, “The | Ola Reliable” Gazette has stood out | in the open for forty-one years like a beacon light, fearless and un | afraid, never faltering and always | determined. What it has done ir hundreds of other instances to help defend and encourage our peapl along all lines that lead to greater fand better progress is a matter o general knowledge. We refer par ticularly to its efforts against in dmical legislation and harmful dis crimination, national, state and mu nicipal, and in favor of all that wa: helpful to the race. Personal inter ests have always been subordinatec by its editor to those of the race and The Gazette's clarion call tc | Afro-Americans, generally, in sea }son and out, has been to accep! | nothing jn the way of treatment that jis less than that all citizens, with: jout reference to class (race) or col | or, are entitled. to. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the | North, we have been and always will be unalterably opposed to any “doctrine of surrender,” or conc jatory policy, so insidiously but quietly preached, in this day and time, by “jim-crow Negroes” and their prejudiced white masters. The Gazette believes in’ demanding for our people, in this section of the country at least, nd continuing to fight for, ALL that is due all Amer- jean ieee the law. THIS 1s OUR IAN! Its firm adher- ence to principle, thru all these years, together with its known ac- complishments, are its best’ recom- mendation for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the past forty-orie years—thousands of read- ers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only expressions of sincerest appreciation. ‘There is, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers at this time and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to become subscribers to “The Old Re- liable” Gazette and in this Way as- sist it to materially increase its cir- culation and power for good. For all you have done in the past, we thank you, and again assure you of our sincerest Ses ©. Smith, » Editor and Owner.

One of the outstanding business efforts in this city within the year is the exceptional success Mr. Edward Solem, manager, has had with the City Co-operative Dairy Co., 9004 Woodland Ave. Mr. Solem took over the company when it was "in the hole," a business failure, and since Feb. 1, '24, has transformed it from a losing to a profitable and successful co-operative business proposition. A loss of $7,000 in January was wiped out before May this year and success has continued to ever since in spite of the general depressurization business. This is really exceptional speaks volumes for Manager Solem and his trained and efficient corps of assistants which he brought from the parent organization, the Franklin Co-Operative Co. of Minneapolis. It is our firm belief that stock in the City Co-Operative Dairy Co. is a paying investment. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd J.

J. Gregg, organizer of the corporation. Thank you, Doctor. Chef Will N. Alexander tells a pitiful story of his mistreatment, last May, by former Gov. and Mrs. Harry L. Davis for whom he was Working on their farm in Solon. Will says she "dired" him for being absent to attend his cousin, Dennis Fowler's funeral, in spite of the fact that Mr. Davis drove him to the car when he left to go to the funeral. She said that day was the day-off of one of her white servants. Alexander also says that the former Governor waged wars, etc., after he was "fired," and that he was finally given $50 in settlement of his claim of $100. He also says that when he was chef for the Davises in Columbus, Tom Fleming and John Logan of Columbus came to him and asked him to arrange it so they could get a hearing from the Governor (Davis), having been unable to do so themselves after repeated efforts, and that he (Alexander) gave the Governor Tom's letter at breakfast, one morning, and succeeded in getting an appointment for Tom and John at 3 p.m. that same day. Also, that after "fired" he got not consolation or assistance (as usual). Chef Alexander called on The Gazette, August 11, and said he was going to the E. 38th St. political meeting, that evening, for the express purpose of airing his grievance, if former Gov. Davis attended it, providing of course, he was permitted to do so. The newspaper statement, that there were "20,000 Negroes" at the Luna park "emancipation celebration," recently, is far from being the truth. There were less than one-third that number of poor unfortunate "Negroes" there, that evening, and so few during the day that they were not allowed to use the dance-hall (which the whites used during the day) until after 6 p. m., so persons in attendance inform The Gazette. Five thousand would be a generous attendance estimate for the evening. Of course the bathing pool was closed to "Negroes," as usual, and the price of soft drinks, etc., doubled. Worse still, the drinking water was turned off, it is also said, so that the poor misguided "Negroes" there would be compelled to purchase his soft drinks. The result was that women and children, especially, suffered for water to drink. Thos. W. Bird informs The Gazette that he saw little children lapping the little water remaining in the troughs, so thirsty were they, and that he approached Councilman Thos. W. Fleming, chairman of the committee in charge of the affair, demanding that he have the water turned on, and was told by Fleming that he could do nothing. Many of the poor misguided "Negroes" who went to colorline Luna Park, that day, are attendants upon our various churches, the pastors of which made absolutely no effort whatever to warn them to stay away from it. Shame, O. SHAME! Tell It, Brother, Tell It! There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune.

Segregation How Our Girls Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government Printing Office—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical Prof. Neval H. Thomas. disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferia for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they the physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, a com for t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old of a promotion, may be deemed to have a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them, and more than the color of their skin. Next week, the government printing office segregation, etc., will be (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.-The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better pay, education and employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, the people I meet, place, preferring a little physical invenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, that bars the inferior. Whites pass over the superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismised on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried the building afire in revenge of an incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have, expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of them, and I have asked that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. My next letter will deal with the segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing. (Prof.) Neval H. Thomas. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.-Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroe young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after accession of Mr. Wilson to White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw whites colored girls working together in harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic imitation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She slandered against in our owl world and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1924. our people here were so profoundly discu raged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises, Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured public in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau all together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREAT the teachers that they work as teachers and working stations, and none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best homes, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of sequestration, for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. Next week, I shall attempt to describe the univesal restrictions placed around our population in our government locations here at the government Neval H. Thomas. RENT PROFITEERING ALSO WENT ON IN ANCIENT ROME ROME—There is comfort for the perplexed tenants of New York apartment houses in the experiences of the dwellers in the flats of ancient Rome. These experiences have been preserved in many private letters written at the period. There were at one time some 47,000 multiple family houses in Rome, which resembled our modern apartments or flats. In some cases these buildings rose to height of ten stories, but none, in a course, had elevators or staircases. The buildings were usually of wood and the sanitary conditions, judged by modern standards, deplorable. The condition became so bad in the poorer tenements of imperial Rome that the Government was obliged to pass rigid laws. The fire risk in Rome was enormously high. Since there were no means of communication such as our telephone, speaking tube or call, it was impossible to find anyone on the floors of fires below and serious loss of life followed. The rent profiters were then alive in the land. At several periods of Roman history the rents, even for the smaller flats, reached levels which might make a modern landlord blush. A letter has been preserved, written by a Roman who came from the provinces to the imminent invasion of the high rents asked on every hand. The complaint sounds curiously modern. After long days spent in house hunting, the letter relates, it was necessary in the end to rent a small flat on the third floor which opened only on a court, and for this undesirable abode the rent was 20,000 sequesters, or in our money $1,330 a year. In the box on the side toward the shoplifter and she puts her hand through it, grasping the article and going quietly away with it. "Fur coats have long been favored quarry of the professionals. In going after these, women usually work in pairs. A little reconnaissance is done a day or so before the job itself is attempted. They secure the name of one of the saleswomen, as is the time when she goes to lunch. One of the women curries into the department during the lunch hour of the saleswoman and asks for her. On being informed that girl is out, she announces that she will wait. She says she prefers being attended by the sales person she has named. It is but natural for the other saleswomen to ignore a customer whose mind is set upon dealing with some one else. While supposedly waiting, the woman glances around on the display. She may walk over to a form and a garment shown on it critically. This arouses no suspicion, as those in the department think it but natural for a prospective customer to do a little preliminary inspecting. "Near a stairway or by an elevator an accomplice is doing some intensive watchful waiting. When the lookout is certain that no one is observing her accomplice, she gives the signal, in some instances, the alarm in the room on the coat, as if trying it on, and simply walk out. In others, she will, with almost lightning-like rapidity, fold the garment and tuck it under a loose wrap she is wearing. Many of these women are almost unbelievably quick in self-confidence for fear of being the result of long practice and is done with all the speed of a magician palming a coin. An Outrage! SOME NEGROES KNOW OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW In every Northern city, political activity is being aroused. Never before have so many people indicated an intention of breaking away from old traditions, from old party alliances. Gradually there is dawning or aborning, the knowledge that politics is a game in which a few control the many. Colored people as a mass have been the greatest victims. For many many years, through a sense of loyalty and because of ignorance, they have stuck to the Republican party, thereby making an enemy of the Democratic party! The Republican party gave them the shadow of official recognition, created laws apparently in their behalf, but seldom used. They were forced to force them. They were jolled and used, only that and nothing more! In the South, the Democrats disfranchised them. They could do little voting and less office holding. In consequence, "jim crow" cars and other segregative conditions flourished. In national campaigns, the Republican orators and newspapers called attention to the distranchissement, etc., as evidence of the deadly, damnable and destructive tendencies of southern Democracy, and told in many dangerous that would result from the presence in the White House of a Democratic President. But Negroes who can think, Negroes who have moral courage, have learned their lesson and are brave enough to abide by it. Some Negroes know now, that the flood of eloquence that comes with every campaign flows from men who are paid to speak, or else expect to get some benefit. They are doing as much acting in saying what they do not do as does the man who on stage "does his stuff" for the money he gets. Some Negroes know now, that the newspapers will print, in proportion to the amount of money they get, awful stories of coming disasters should those terrible Democrats get into power. Many years ago, when the Democrat, Cleveland, ran for President, Negroes were told that if elected slavery would again flourish in the United States. Cleveland was elected, and instead of making Negroes slaves, they were appointed to high office and sent as U. S. representatives to white men's countries. When Wilson, the Democrat, ran for President, the same old song was sung by the Democrats, forget the dirty deals of the Republican party and fled to the ballot box to vote against Wilson. He was elected, but no Negroes were made slaves, and they fared under him as well as they have fared since. Some Negroes have learned that when the Democrats who owe them nothing, make laws against them the Republicans do nothing except to ASST. TREASURER OF G. O. P. PARTY A. B. BERNARD A. ECKHART Of Chicago, has been made assistant treasurer of the Republican national committee. Anderson A Trusty Now Former Dry Leader Has Cell in the New Dormitory Also. OSSINING - Sing Sing officials announced that William H. Anderson, former State dry leader, serving a sentence for forgery in Manhattan, has been made a trusty outside of the prison walls and now has a large, attractive and comfortable cell in the new dormitory. Anderson has now moved about one block of its term. Therefore Warden Lewis E. Laws felt he was entitled to go into the new dormitory on the hill overlooking the old prison. Only short-term prisoners are allowed there because no wall has been built yet around the new prison, and at certain hours of the day it would be easier for a trusty to make a getaway than it would for a prison back of the closely guarded walls. Anderson now spends only about thirty-six hours a week behind prison walls and that is while he is teaching school in the old prison. talk about the injustice, in order to get the Negroes' vote. Some Negroes have learned, that though under Wilson the segregative system, already existing in Washington, was increased, yet under Harding and Coolidge, our Republican Presidents, it has not been diminished. Negroes have learned that though under southern Democracy Negroes have been disfranchised contrary to the Constitution of the United States, yet the Republican party and its official representatives, despite their oath of office, have never enforced the penalty for such violation and, through grace of our Republican friends, Congress is flooded with Democrats from southern states who have no business there. Some Negroes have learned that recounts of a few Negro delegates from southern states and putting a few on the National Committee means little other than a little dope for campaign material. Some Negroes know the strenuous efforts the thousands of men employed and the billions spent to stop people from consuming alcoholic beverages, that is to enforce the 18th amendment, and they wonder why if the Republican party has the interest of the Colored citizens at heart—why is it that nothing is done to enforce the amendment made for their bencht. All people can be fooled sometime. Some people can be fooled all of the time. But all the people can't be fooled all of the time. The day has arrived when people both white and black are thinking they are going to do some acting. They have learned that both parties, Republican as well as Democratic, are playing the great game of politics. Negroes have lost many years of valuable time. Had they voted for men instead of party they would have been better off. As slaves of the Republican party they have in all of these years been losing instead of winning. Under Grant they got a magnificent start—but alas today not a single American Negro holds a position in the paritions of the Government. Not a single Negro in Congress! And yet they have fought, bled and died for a party that has had everything in its power since the Civil War, except during only two Democratic administrations. It is high time for the Negro to wake and split his vote. He should and must, if he would succeed, divide his vote by casting his ballots for men who will do the square thing regardless of the party to which they belong, political dissent or subsequent community than any other kind of slave. The hour has arrived—the Negro must divide or be damned—Dabney in Cincinnati (O.) Union. To Inoculate All Cubans Government Strives to Break Up Typhoid Fever Epidemic. HAVANA—Inoculation against typhoid fever for every person in Cuba was ordered by Presidential decree made public in the Official Gazette. Compulsory inoculation of Havana residents was started several weeks ago as a means of breaking up the typhoid fever here, and there are several cases of cities and towns. President Zayas extended the order to include the whole island on recommendation of Secretary of Health Officer E. H. Porto. Official figures showed 279 cases existing in Havana today, a considerable decrease from figures of a week ago: IT MAY be perfectly all right to do as the butchers direct and blame the cook for the high cost of living, but we know a lot of otherwise courageous family men who will do nothing of the kind.

RUSSIA BUYS MORE FROM US AS GRAIN EXPORTS INCREASE WASHINGTON—Russia is regaining considerable of her war-lost purchasing power. Department of Commerce trade analysis shows that in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1924, Russia's population was to take exports from the United States to $15,522,000, which compared with a total of $15,522,000 in the previous year. The foundation of Russia's ability to buy in the world market, he department analysis adds, lies in the export of grain. During the present season, however, the prospects for Russian grain exports are bad.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1834 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 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 "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 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.

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.) been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lyning laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lyning laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: UBS. eed. g. representative of victim of lynching,bury by mob trying to lynch another, and costs in tax levy. s. must member of mob. must another county. 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 the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, gence on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall 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 board had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1884: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating 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, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay no more than five hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved therein, 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 is 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. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, G., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, The Cleveland Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observe your letter in the Beacon-Journal this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. The Beacon-Journal had known when he was acting on in its own town, there would be no discussion for criticism editorially. THE WORLD OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed.
