In This Country —Objects, to Policy of Garvey's Organization; Washington, D. C.—The government of Liberia, has just filed the following formal communication, delivered by Dr. Ernest Lyon, its U. S. consul general. The note, signed by the Hon. Edwin Barclay, secretary of state of Liberia, says: "The government of Liberia, irrevocably opposed both in principle and fact to the incendiary policy of the Universal, Negro Improvement Association headed by Marcus Garvey and repudiating the improper implications of its widely advertised scheme for the immigration of American Negroes into the republic under the auspices of this association which scheme, apart from not having the sanction of the Liberian government, does not appear to be bona fide and has in addition a tendency adversely to affect the amiable relations of the republic with the friendly states possessing territories adjacent to Liberia; desire to place on record their protest against this propaganda so far as it relates to Liberia, and to express their confidence that the government of the United States will neither facilitate nor permit the emigration under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of Negroes from the United States with intent to proceed to Liberia." It also was stated by Consul General Lyon that he had been instructed by his government to discontinue the practice of visiting passports for Afro-Americans, members of the U. N. I. A. or who had expressed themselves in any manner as being in sympathy with the movement headed by Marcus Garvey. It was not the intention of the Liberian government, however, Mr. Lyon said to exclude from that country Afro-Americans who desire to make their home in Liberia and enter the commercial or business life of that country. "SEVEN-ELEVEN" AT THE GLOBE Al. Jolson recently said that the greatest compliment ever paid him was by an upper New York State hotel proprietor who was presented to him at the Ritz-Carlton after a performance which had been witnessed by the hotel man. He said: "I am somewhat surprised Mr. Jolson, to see that you are of the Caucasian race." Mr. Jolson really feels that there are no true interpreters of "Negro" characters but the "Negro" himself. Dialect is simple enough to attain but to express it in the real southern style is "a horse of a different color." Singing, dancing and humor is an inheritance and the only requisite for our comedians is that they be natural. An old man who was entertaining four or five Cincinnati visited her mother—Mrs. B. F.

The authors of "SEVEN-ELEVEN" have given to depict the southern "Norgre" the true character and the cost has been selected with the same point in view and, as a result, the big musical comedy sensation which comes to The Globe Theatre for one week, beginning. Monday, Sept. 8, has proven to be the biggest laugh-show of the season. Add to this, The Famous Creole Tiller dancing chorus and a score of "Blues" singers, the Pan-American Four Howard and Brown, Cook and Smith, the Dixie Demons and the Dark-town Cadet, Morton and Robinson. Maude DeForrest, Al Young and Billy Mitchell, and you have the greatest collection of Afro-American ARTISTS ever assembled in one production! The costumes, by the Eaves Costume Co. of New York, are original and brilliantly decorated creations while the stage-settings are most lavish. "SEVEN-ELEVEN" comes to Cleveland direct from extended runs in New York Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Pittsburgh, and has been booked in all of the larger cities of the country. $58,000 Paid For Factory Site! $58,000 Paid For Factory Site! Indianapolis, Ind. The largest real estate transaction, involving our group in this city, was recently completed when the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. purchased the northwest corner of North West St. and Indiana Ave. for $58,000. This is a large properly located in the heart of the business district. The Madam C. J. Walker Co. will erect a new administration and factory building, among the most beautiful and best appointed of its kind, another fitting monument to the memory of the late Madam C. J. Walker. Our "Common Ancestry" Toronto, Ont., Canada—Further evidence of the common ancestry of the anthropold ape and man was afforded by the recent discovery in northern India of the teeth of three lower jaws of fossilized apes, Prof. W. K. Gregory of Columbia university, recently told the British Association for the Advancement of Science, in session here. Churchill Calls 'Em Dumb London, England.—These so called "strong, silent" men may be silent, but they are not necessarily strong, according to. Winston Churchill. It may be they are silent only because they are dumb. "Too often," said Churchill, in an address before a class of college graduates. "the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say." DEMOCRATS GIVE KLAN A BASTING Texas Convention Subdikes Ku Klux Klan: Indores "Ma" Fergison— Hitter Demonstration of the AUSTIN, Tex. Proclaiming no quarter for the Ku Klux Klan, framing a platform which denounced the Klan, and declared for strict economy in government and according complete recognition of Mrs. Mriam A. Ferguson as the Democrat nominee for governor, the state Democrat convention went through vociferous sessions here. Tuesday, with the Ferguson element in absolute and audible control. As night fell, the meeting was continuing with the permanent organization effected only a short time before. The day was crowded with bitter denunciation of the Klan and its methods, with heated oratory, climaxed by a masterful appeal of Senator Bailey for peace and marked by warm acclamation for Mrs. Ferguson and her husband, James E. Ferguson, who, with their daughters, sat on the speakers platform throughout the day. To be certain that the convention, would be 100 per cent anti-Klan, all Klan delegations were ousted and, every attempt of the Klan delegates to place their friends on important committees was decisively defeated. A bitter fight over the Dallas county committee selections brought former Gov. C. B. Colquitt and Lieut. Gov. Davidson into the fray attempting vainly to stop the procedure. In every instance Klan delegates and committeemen were rejected. Protests Unheeded Even some of the Ferguson delegates protested at the method, one delegate explaining that it was not necessary to adopt such decisive methods since the Fergusons were in control by five to one. The flanking of the Klan continued, however, until the job was completed. A Klan voice might be heard occasionally in the early stages, of the convention but by evening these appeared to be left not a single murmur of the organization which has controlled several Democratic conventions. The Klan was handled in the platform in these words: "The Democratic party in Texas, in convention assembled, emphatically and without reservation condemns and denounces what is known as the invisible empire and the Ku Klux Klan as an undemocratic, anti-Christian and un-American organization. We brand its activities in politics and elsewhere as treason against the state and nation and treason against the fundamental principles upon which the government was founded. We call upon all those who have joined this dangerous order, through mistake as to its real purpose, to withdraw from it and, lend their aid to free this country from the strife and trouble which this secret and insidious clique has aroused." "Blazing: The Way!" In a letter, received recently from Dallas S. Cooper, now a resident of New York City but for many years located here, he wrote: "I sincerely wished I was in Cleveland, prior to the recent primaries, to support your candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination. My hope and well-wishes abide with you. You are blazing the way and reviving our people, to exercise, their freedom and rights as American citizens. And there will be others in other states who will do likewise. A great move! IT IS NOT IN VAIN!" Bars Our Immigrants. New York City.—A letter from Australia, received recently by Miss Thelma Berlack, sets forth the restrictions against the entry of our people into Australia. The bar against Negroes and slaves, known as the "white Australian Policy Act," does not affect our people already in the country, only those desiring to enter. "Birth of Nation" Barred. As a result of recent protests against the showing of the "Birth of a Nation," at one of the local theatres at New Britain, Conn., the permit to exhibit the film was cancelled by Mayor A. M. Paoonesa and Chief of Police William Hart. "Not Open For Discussion" It has been emphatically announced by one of the high tribunals of the United States that "Equality of civil and political rights, and the equal protection of the laws, with no discrimination, except for misconduct or crime, are subjects not open for discussion. They are fundamental principles of Government and jurisprudence. Whoever attempts to deny these principles, in their just application, puts himself in antagonism to the established law of the land." Mrs. Clifford Lamb of Hillsboro is the guest of Mrs. Geo. Thompkins. Mrs. B. Pleasant and Mrs. Jessie Ross are visiting relatives in Hillsboro. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Negro "Political Bootlickers" Thoroly Castigated Self-Styled "Leaders"—Mill-Stones Around the Neck of Of the aBce—They Are Making Enemies for Coolidge—The Lincoln League, the "Jim Crow" Republican Party In every city and community where Negroes of considerable number are permitted to exercise their right to vote and where the Republican party depends more or less on that vote for victory at the polls, we have what is called the "Black Cabinet." This group of Negroes is usually made up of professional office-holders or politicians seeking some sort of profitable exemption from the law in case of their party triumph. They, from administration to administration, feed at the public trough. Some times they content themselves with distributing the scant Negro patronage to their favorites. Sometimes they are satisfied with running a crap game in defiance of the law. weapon of intimidation and misinformation. This League is the "Jim-Crow" Republican Party, with National and state and "Jim-Crow" headquarters, a civic menace of a few "Jim-Crow" Negroes, by a few "Jim-Crow" Negroes and for a few "Jim-Crow" Negroes. In any event they are self-acknowledged representatives of the entire Negro group. They are its leaders. They are the entire Negro race to the extent that when they talk of the Negro race, they really mean themselves. Certainly they claim to own the entire Negro vote. They bargain for it with the white political boss at so much per. There is no depth of infamy to which they will not stoop to deliver that vote. Happily for them the Negro usually delivers his own vote to the Republican party and is, wholly sun-influenced by this gang of political hypocrites. The white politician seems incapable of learning the truth and so thinks the "Black Cabinet," expensive, but indispensable. However, these blatant, hungry, often-times petulant parasites are allowed to state their own case, to tell of their own importance to the cause. There is nothing worth while in the past, present or future for which they do not take credit. Thus, every community of Negroes is cursed by its cabinet of utterly selfish and usually unworthy men. These men pretend to speak for the race. In reality they are speaking for themselves. There is nothing back of them but their dishonesty and unadultered nerve. Yet they are our leaders. They make the contracts with the white men who are ambitious and do things. They are the sort of men who can be used for stealing the election, or for the committal of murder, if thought necessary. A substantial, high-grade group of Negro leaders is not wanted. Nor do they care to pay the price of real leadership. The Black Cabinet is not simply a local mill-stone around the neck of the Negro race. In the state and in the nation there is great opportunity for selfish aggrendement. The national field particularly is inviting. Our national Black Cabinet differs little from the local machine except in the scope of action and the size of the job or favor involved. The spirit, the methods, the alms, are the same. Here we have a group of Negro politicians who mistake themselves for the Negro race, who hold their race as a pawn for so many jobs or preferments. They seek the ear of the national Republican leaders, get down on their knees to them, deceive them into believing that the Negro vote is controlled, by a half dozen or more Negro political overseers. It is a known fact these would be bosses control nothing. Most of them have no vote. They would hold office and control patronage in Georgia because of the Negro votes in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. Right now they are making a grand stand play about saving these states for Coolidge. They make enemies for Coolidge whenever and wherever they assert themselves because the people know their game. Our National Black Cabinet some years ago organized the Lincoln League as a President Harding's Wish The late President Warren G. Harding, in his Birmingham, Ala. speech in November, 1921, made the following statement: "I wish that both the tradition of a solidly Democratic South and the tradition of a solidly Republican black race might be broken up. I want to see the time when the black men will vote for democratic candidates, if they prefer the Democratic policy on tariff or taxation, foreign relations, or what-not; and when they will vote the Republican ticket for like reasons." Mrs. Lenora Craig, E. 80th St. is visiting Miss Etta Gordon of Clyde. Every one of our local ministers ought to warn their congregations, repeatedly, on Sunday, to stay away from color-line Luna park. IN UNION IT IS STRENGTH LE COPY FIVE CENTS All!

This League is the "Jim-Crow" Republican Party, with National and state and "Jim-Crow" headquarters, a civic menace of a few "Jim-Crow" Negroes, by a few "Jim-Crow" Negroes and for a few "Jim-Crow" Negroes. Editor Du Bois of "The Crisis" It is important that the Negro have leaders. These should be men of sterling worth, of achievement, of intellect, thoroughly imbued with the ideals of democracy and full-orbed manhood and with a passion for unselfish service to their country and people. For this type of leadership the Negro must contend. Like every other great people, he must know that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. After all, the political machine made up of irresponsible politicians is an enemy to good government whether that machine be white or black: Good citizens, white and black, should stand together in repudiating these Judges and in rescuing the government from mere grafters and restoring it to its proper function of inspiring the blessings of liberty to all.—Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman Du Bols "Jim-Crow, Grand Old Party" Jackass. "But some things we do not understand and bitterly resent: One is the Jim Crow, Grand Old Party jackass who brays every time the black man criticizes the mass of privilege, monopoly and condescension which now masquerades as the party of Abraham Lincoln. "Another is the gentleman who accuses everybody who differs with him of being a soundrel. In every campaign the attempt of self-respecting Negroes to vote as men and not as puppets is met with a flood of fist and abuse from certain Negro newspapers which are either paid to support the Republicans or expect to be paid. Unless we overwhelm these venal editors by our discountance and contempt we will weld our political slavery on our child-en. "The base of our trouble is that still, to a large number of prominent Negroes, 'politics' is simply a method of private gain. They sell their votes, their opinions, their influence; and they think that this is what voting means. They did not originate this sordid business. God knows, but they have proven apt scholars and even some of our new women voters, from whom we expected so much, are joining in the hunt for loot and bribes, for pay and petty place. "What we need in this campaign is non-partisan centers of discussion and information; debate, facts, statements and re-statements of the high function of the voter and the deep eternal significance of democracy."—The Crisis. A Brilliant Success! New York City.—The 8th annual convention of the Walker agents, held recently at Abyssinian Baptist church, was attended by 375 delegates from the various states and from three foreign countries. Fine programs were rendered, including many exceptionally able addresses. Mrs. Mae Walker Jackson, and Atty. F. B. Ransom, gen. mgr. the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., spoke of its wonderful progress and awarded $1650 in cash prizes to agents leading in special work during the year. A pilgrimage of delegates and friends, to the number of 400, was made to the grave of Madam C. J. Walker, at Woodhaven cemetery, where memorial services were held, tributes paid the deceased and wreathes placed on her grave.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1924 The Indianapolis Freeman editorial, which we are republishing elsewhere in this paper, is one of the best and most timely leaders to appear in any paper for a long, long time. Read it carefully, thoughtfully. There is a world of truth in it; it is all truth that should be generally known. DRS. CLARKE AND EVANS SPEAK OUT! Last Sunday night week, Dr. Edward A. Clarke, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, this city, in language unmistakable characterized the immoral condition existing in ward 11, as an outrage of decency as well as the good people of that section of the city who for one good reason or another, are forced to live in the midst of it. His indirect references to Councilman Tom Fleming and that worthy's utter failure, throut his career as a member of the City Council, to make any move, that people of that ward have been able to detect, to improve the sad conditions referred to, were apparently understood and thoroly appreciated by the large congregation. This same was true when, on a previous Sunday, Dr. Joseph Evans, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, East End, performed much the same duty, praising The Gazette for the six years' fight it has made, almost single-handed, and alone, against the miserably low and immoral conditions existing throut both wards 11 and 12. Now let our ministers of Cleveland join with Drs. Clarke and Evans in a DEMAND on City Manager Hopkins for the sadly needed better police protection in the wards mentioned, and others. “NEGRO” COOLIDGE-LIEUTEN- ANTS. The Hon. Wm. M. Butler of Boston, Mass., chairman of the Republican National Committee, has appointed Robert R. Church of Memphis, Tenn.; Emmett J. Scott, of Texas, Alabama and Washington, D.C., and Robert L. Vann of Pittsburg, Pa., members of the Coolidge advisory committee. All excellent men of the race, but only one of them really a voter (Vann). The other two are residents of the South where votes for (electors) Republican candidates for President are not counted, if permitted to be cast. Of course we understand that there is no voting in the District of Columbia. Then there are Wm. C. Matthews of Boston, national organizer; Charles E. Mitchell and R. L. Vann, employees of the New York headquarters; W. T. Francis and George W. Lee, at the Chicago headquarters; Monroe Mason of Boston, general secretary, and Roscoe Simmons, chief of the field. All at $125 (each) a week, according to Simmons. These are the men of the race that the President's "illy-white" secretary, C. Bascomb Slemp, and Chairman Wm. M. Butler of the Republican National Committee, and the national "Black Cabinet" have selected to "line-up" the "Negro" voters of the country for President Ku Klux Klan, Segregation Coolidge! LORD, HAVE MERCY! It begins to look like "Silent Cal" is either what Churchill insinuates, when it comes to politics; or he (Coolidge) is not overly desirous of being elected in November. COOLIDGE MUST SPEAK Ex-Congressman C. Bascomb Slemp, President Coolidge's Virginia "illy-white" Republican secretary, says, "the president has repeatedly stated that he is not a member of the Ku Klux Klan and is not in sympathy with its aims and purposes." If the foregoing is true, then why does not the President say so now when all the country is looking for him to do so? He is neither PAY SPRITZ $2 A PAY DAY THE SPRITZ Plan —o— “Pay as You Can” JIM SHIELD IMV SPRITZ Wonder Values in Ladies' Dresses and Coats Men's Suits and Overcoats Newest Fall Styles $35.00 EASY TERMS 2067 East Ninth Street SPRITZ Between Euclid and Prospect Next to Columbia Theater tongue-tied nor dumb, and the people interested will NOT accept this statement of his "illy-white" Republican secretary in lieu of one from him. "Until President Coolidge comes out in the open and declares himself, the Ku Klux Klan issue will remain national in scope," says the Hon. Wm. R. Pattangall, Democrat candidate for governor of Maine, and he is right! It is also well to note the fact that neither Slemp nor Coolidge seem to feel it necessary to say or do anything relative to that shameful and insulting segregation at Washington, D. C. and elsewhere in government departments. As one of our editors says, and very pertinently, too: "As a candidate, Mr. Coolidge says: 'Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color.' As president he has FAILED to enforce those guarantees. Discrimination and segregation exist in all the departments government over which PRESIDENT Coolidge presides. Candidate Coolidge will remember that he has been president more than a year and that the Colored people are not able to distinguish a schriftta of difference between his and his predecessors' (Harding's and Wilson's) administrations." A failure on the part of the President to speak out on the Klan issue, and a failure on his part to ACT in the case of that segregation, ought to and we verily believe will do more to bring about his defeat at the polls in November than all other things combined. Additional Locals Mr. Ellsworth Gamblee, teacher of athletics in our public schools at Cincinnati, arrived, recently to relocate. His wife accompanied him. Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Pankey of Little Rock. Ark., who visited her sister, Mrs. Lottie Irving, Gordon, and husband, at 9515 Gibson, S. E., for the past ten days, left for home, today. Mr. and Mrs. Pankey taught school for many years in their home city, he resigning, years ago to become a letter-carrier. Having been retired on a pension, several years ago, he and his wife entered the real estate business and are meeting with success. The editor of The Gazette entertained Mr. Pankey at dinner, last Saturday. He and his wife were among the callers at The Gazette sanctum, last week. E. P. Benjamin, Esq., and sister of Boston, guests of the Hotel Cleveland, several days, last week, were en route home from a summer vacation trip, in their car, that took them as far North as Toronto, Ont. Can. They went to Buffalo by boat from here, resuming their driving for home. Mr. Benjamin is a leading attorney of Boston and an exceptionally member of the race. His sister is the widow of Mr. Walter F. Sampson, many years ago a resident of this city. Our older residents will remember "Walter." He was a fine man with many friends in both Cleveland and Boston. Mr. Benjamin called on The Gazette last week Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Freeman and son, en route to Washington. D. C., writing from Baltimore, Md. Sunday, where they were stopping for a few days, said that city "was in town from recent race trouble", but was "very proud". They had visited New York City, Atlantic City and Philadelphia before going to Baltimore. It is their vacation trip. Writing from Bear Island, Lake Timgamagi, Ont., Canada, Mrs. Ida M. Scott of Aetna Road, this city, said, on Aug. 28, '24: "I hope you are not suffering from the heat. I am not suffering from the heat and has been as low as 52d and 68d. We have snow 18 miles from here. Now leaving for Toronto fair; Sept. 3, and Niagara Falls." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

GRACE GRAY DE LONG Miami, Florida Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and softly as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unightly pimples on my face. I wore a guard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complex to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade I am obtaining.

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? ‘Washington, D. C.—In the postot- fice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains e spacious cafteria for whites only, where these inferior ywhite clerks can buy appetizing Tuncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must ‘ring cold Iuncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage- ‘ous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, 3 it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting ‘them off as though they were lepers. ‘The injustice stings all the more ‘when they feflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelll- gent and efficient service—the white man of thelr attainment being able to get far more lucrative employ- meat. ‘he department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neg- Tect of colored. It maintains a well- appointed club roof with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored em- ployees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the peo- ple, In the locker rooms there 1: segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the tollets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employee: passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very pres ence of the colored, to attend a re ception to the heads of departments including the postmaster general, tn the postoffice building. It announce¢ dancing and a pleasant social eve ning with the officials for “the post. office employees,” yet not one was Gelivered to the colored clerks. 1 hurried @ protest to the postmaster general the day before it was te come off, and he ordered the post. master to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at @ 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 ex- amination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the serv- jee, must ever dream of a promotion to ‘a directive position. ‘The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though man) of the colored employees have wor sontests in quickness and accuracy im the handling of mail. The col- cored clerks have.dared to form a union which meets regularly and manly intelligent appeals Peetstons to tm has secured some in thelr working ‘Bot they are still bitter Imjustice done to them ae ‘else than the color of Next the government print- ing office , ote., will be exposed.

Here, fertcuewhere the inferior whites pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher ssl- aries. ‘The whites have a large recres- tional center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. Durng 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 ab- ruptly 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 dismiss- ed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance in- cident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for bis exclusion from the dance floor. De- tectives came to the building to ar- rest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to dis- cover the pistol. They quickly drop- ped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dis- missed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there {s 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 ex- pressed thelr deeply-wounded feel- ings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose in- stitutions they are serving so faith- fully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial ‘that the conditions complained of ex. ist, and a request for the names: ot my informants. I knew the fate thes: informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The de partment then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It 4s perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficul! thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot beat witness to ft. ‘My next letter will deal with the segregation in the bureau of engray. {ng and printing. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Wood- row Wilson and members of his fam- fly, three heroic young colored wom- en'who lost thelr positions as a re Suit of thelr protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follett Bhortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem- ‘ber of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. "Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been not- ed for her philanthropy among our people and ‘who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our giris to be contented with the new order as “a great Negfo leader had taught col- ored 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 iodged a pro- test with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic in- novation.

She thundered against it in our local white. press, and addressed the na- tional gathering of the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People in New York.

Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, our candidate for the Republican nom!- nation for Governor at the state pri- maries, Aug. 12, '24, filed his sworn statement of campaign expenses. as required by state law, with the Sec- retary of State (the state supervisor of elections), Friday, Aug. 22, '24. Tt shows that he spent $282.27, and that $7.50 was the total of the con- tributions to his campaign fund, making his personal expense, $274.87. That is more money than all of our big “Ikes”, who call them- selves “leaders” of the race, have ‘spent, in an effort to help the race, in 274 years and 8&7 days. The records, here in the Secretary of State’s office, show that Editor Smith has spent nearly one thou- sand dollars in the last four years inthe race's three candldactes for nomination to a. state office, which he has led. And he is not thru. either, he says, OUR STATE CANDIDACY, A VICTORY! a 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 vic- tory; for the liberalizing influence of your campaign upon American public opinion is beyond calculation. Tt 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 over- whelming force of habit, the consc!- enecless leadership of demagogues, and the lure of money to vote their conscience and intelligence, {s heart- ening 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, Socal i Chemes. “Linc” said sarcastically or tron- Ieally, at Springfield, that he had no ambition to be governor or liguten- ant-governor. Because his ambition has heen crushed out in Georgia, is it any reason why he should come to Ohio, where we have the ambition and “guts” to try to be, and, too, have a good chance to be, sooner or later; we repeat, is it any reason he should come into Ohio and try to discourage his people here who are trying to get somewhere in the “po- litical sun”? LORD HAVE MEROY! 18 Iv ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Coléred Americans are the anly Face, responsible members of which are in favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “al- ways will be discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal d@iscrimina- tion, and are winning even so- celal rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will dic rather than sub- mit. The race that says it's of Ro use to resist, downs itself a the world then will say, “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by na ture without self-respect and have no ‘guts’." The world re- "pects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for Face. pepe ener 1 mache Utionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights im our native land, however long race discrimination may continue.

KU KLUX KLAN, THE ISSUE The Democratic Candidate For Presi- dent And LaFollette Have Now Denounced the Kluxers—Only President Cool- idge Féars To Do So—He Also Refuses to End Government Segregation of Our Employees—Davis’ Record Sea Girt, N. J.—The Hon. John W. Davis, in his Hrat_ major address since formally accepting the Demo- eratle nomination for president, last week Friday came out four-square in condemnation of the Ku Klux ‘Kian. At the same time, he chal- enged President Coolidge to do like- wise and thereby remove the issue as a topic of political debate. “Since my arrival in Seagirt 1 have been asked by more than one person now present in this audience what views T entertain concerning the organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, I am constrained to think that those who ask this ques- tion did not hear, or have not done [me the honor to read, the speech of acceptance which I’ delivered at Clarksburg ‘on the 11th of this month. The KK. K. Menace “In that speech I took occasion to declare that nothing would so utterly destroy our happiness and [security at home and our dignity and influence abroad as the separa- tion of the citizenship of this coun- try into discordant groups along racial oF religious lines. 1 affirmed my personal belief in the great guar- antees of religious freedom and re- ligious tolerance which have made this country what it is, and T assert % to be the solemn duty of every believer in American institutions to ‘oppose any challenge, organized or unorganized, of this sacred doctrine, under whatever name or in what- ever character it might appear. No Room for Doubt “It was my purpose to state these truths in language plain enough to leave no room for doubt or misun- derstanding of my personal views and in terms sufficiently broad to include any and all forms of bigotry, prejudice and intolerance. On. that declaration T stand. If any organ- ization, no matter what it chooses to be called, whether Ku Klux Klan or by any ‘other name, raises the standard of racial aud religious pre- fudice or attempts to make racial [origins ‘or religions beliefs tne test of fitness for public office, it does violence to the spirit of American institutions and must. be condemned by all those who believe as I do in American ideals. Challenges Coolidge “ repeat that these matters must not be permitted to divert the atten- tion of the public from the vital questions now before them. I ven- ture, therefore, to express the hope that’ the nominee of the Republican Party will see fit by some explicit declaration to join in entirely re- moving this topic from the field of political debate.” > (New York World Editorial) The same point of view, that ranged John W. Davis on the side of labor in support of the Clayton act, the Adamson Dill, and the Child Labor Law, put him on the side of liberalism against discrimination be- tween the races. Appearing before the Supreme Court in 1915, as So- THE THOMAS COMPANY TO EXPAND PLANT Among the productive enterprises of the race, Cleveland can boast of one quite in a class by Itself—The ‘Thomas Flux Co. - This concern ts engaged in the manufacture of a product which is indispensable to fhe foundry business, primériiy, and a side-line fills orders for special steel, brass and aluminum castings, counting among their customers foundry concerns in several well- ‘known cities, and the Cleveland Hardware Oo., of this city. ‘A Gazette representative, who re- cently interviewed the president and manager of the firm, Mr. H. T. Thomas, was shown thru the plant on Norman Ave., and found in use the Intest business methods. From the clean, spacious, well-equipped office to the stockyard was an or- derliness which reflected the man- agerial ability of Mr. Thomas, the guiding star, “We plan an expansion of our plant here,” said Mr. Thomas, “to take care of an increased volume of Dusiness. ‘This enlargement will al- So make an opening for some of our young men who are interested in learning and applying such trades as moulding, pattern-making, metal- lurgy and the various phases of this form of business.” ‘The firm Is a most creditable one, and, under the management of Mr. Thomas, who is well prepared: both in theory and practice, should not fail to develop into one of the most substantial and profitable businesses owned by members of the race. Among the scores of letters, receiv- licitor General of the United States, Davis argued and won the case which held that the so-called “grandfather clause” of the Oklahoma constitn- tion violated the Fifteenth Amend- ment in imposing a literary test for all voters except descendants of per- sons entitled to vote on Jan. 1, 1866 —a clause obviously designed to rob the Negro of his ballot. In this case, Davis argued: The protection of the Constitution was extended to an entire race—to all races, it is true—but it is extend- ed just'as much to the humblest member of that race. Each single individual in it, if a citizen of the United States, 18 assured that neith- er the United States nor any state shall deny or abridge his right to vote on account of race, color or pre- vious condition of servitude; and any law to the contrary, no matter from how high a source it comes or how adroitly its purposes may be hidden, fs invalid and void though he alone be reached by it. * * * In each and every line and syllable, in meaning as well as in phrase, in fulfilment as well as in promise, the races must stand side by side. ‘Again Davis argued and won be- fore the court the case which held the Alabama Peonage Law uncon- ‘stitutional as violating the spirit of ‘the Thirteenth Amendment and the ‘Federal Anti-Peonage Act. “If the ‘Constitution did not stand in the ‘path of the Alabama Law,” insisted ‘Davis, “then reason and public safe. ty should. The fiction put. forward in its defense * * * has neither fact ‘nor logic to support. It.” It was Davis, again, who argued and won a case against election of. ficials in Oklahoma, charging them with a Federal crime when they re- ‘fused to count Negro ballots in cer. ‘tain. districts. ‘Their offense, _he ‘held, violated section 6 of the Act of Congress of May 31, 1870— known as the Ku Klux Kan Act ‘The law was old and established for another Klan; but its violation was ‘up-to-date and in the spirit of the modern Klan. Here was an attempt to use the same high-handed tactics which the present Klan invokes ‘against the Negro in the South. Ar- ‘ened Davis: “The statute (of 1870) was. de signed to prevent any act whereby the complete exercise of the privi- lege of voting might be prevented or impeded. * * * The right of sut. ftrage secured by the Constitution consists not merely of the right tc cast a ballot but Mkewise of the right to have that ballot counted. ‘Nine years before the Ku Khix Klan became a national party issue ‘nine years before it was necessary for a presidential candidate either ‘to have ideas or embrace a Mberal- ism in which he had no faith, John W. Davis disclosed where he’ stood ‘on the issue of the Klan, of peon- age in the Solid South, of discrimt- nation against the Negro voter. The Davis record on those three issues Js not lp-serrice to.» liberal canse, but a record of test cases in tl Courte_ltedt fccton fought and_"won ed from its satisfied customers, one farge local Rent wrote: “Your, prod. uct fa tha beet thine in the line of & Meamge Reem “Peye moms: Valdosta, Ga.—According to a dis- patch from Jaspar, Fla., Warren ‘Wood, a youth of the race, was bru- tally iynch-murdered by « posse of Jasper’s white brutes and his body burned! | The lynch-murderers had deen searching for the lad who was only charged with having killed Po- Iceman H.

It, our yote as announced, was between eighty-four and eighty-five thousand. From that on until evening our vote steadily decreased to shout fifteen thousand. Little wonder that Gov. Vic Donahey, early last year, char- acterized the primaries of both par- ties in Ohio as “ROTTEN.” This is no secret, either. But even that does not discourage us, as hoped by pre- judiced white politicians and their black political “‘boot-lickers.” We are going to carry on the effort, for our people of this state and the country, until favorable results are adeatan the in?
