FRESH OHIO NEWS Written By "The Old Reliable" Gazette's Correspondents What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical Marriages, Deaths, Etc. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what secreguration was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blain from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest part of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet groes are so scarce there that it can't be noticed. There is the general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no further. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilets, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to FRESH OH Written By "The Gazette's Co What Our People Are Do Personal, Social, Lodge, Marriages, D CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gizotto office on Tuesday morning, and always write also, their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies.

DAYTON.—Our people here have filed a protest with the local board of education against the establishment of four new rooms for our children in the Willard school district. The pupils for these proposed rooms are now segregated in the basement of Willard school. The matter will undoubtedly be taken into the courts which will stop the segregation on the score of race and color because it is contrary to Ohio law. Our Parents' Protective Association is back of the protest. Goodl Springfield Afro-Americans knocked out the "jim crow" Fulton school effort there, last year. ZANESVILLE. — Word has just been received here that Charles Cottrill of Toledo, past potentate of Knights Templar, who suffered a stroke during a session of the Masonic convention in Pittsburg, recently, is still at the West Penn hospital, that city.

Give your order to Rosemond Anderson, the local representative of The Gazette, and get a copy of it, every week. It is travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro. His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrar of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given, the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. If he wants the votes, in November, of Royal Afro-Americans, male and female, throut the length and breadth of this country, these are two things he will have to do.

Sun: In an editorial in the Sun of Aug. 28, you dispute a statement made by Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard before the Institute of Politics that "The blood of 3,000 Haitians slain by our American marines * * * dishonors our good name." You correct the statement by saying that the number was only 1,132 and that they were a part of 17,000 bandits whom the marines found murdering peaceful Haitians and, devastating farms. When the expose of our policy of occupation in Haiti was first made Major General George Barnett, former commandant of the marine corps reported on Oct. 23, 1920, that the number of deaths was 3,250. He regretted to report there "were many unlawful and indiscriminate killings." In hearings later by a navy board, enough of these deaths were thrown out as "unofficial" to reduce the number by half. But are not 1,132 enough to sustain Mr. Villard's point, when you consider that in the "bloody battles" with these "desperate and well-armed bandits" less than twenty marines lost their lives? Does that look like war or slaughter? I was. In Haiti, and I know that the statement that our marines found "17,000 bandits murdering peaceful Haitians and devastating farms" is not true. These so-called "bandits" were engaged in a futile attempt to defend their native soil where they had lived for more than a hundred years as an independent people. The America of 1776 would have called them patriots, not bandits. (Signed) James Weldon Johnson, See, N. A. A. C. P. Southern White Man On the Southern Oligarchy. Wm. H. Skaggs (white) of Alabama, has just had published by the Devin-Adair Company of New York, "The Southern Oiligarchy," which is certain to attract considerable attention and to arouse widespread controversy. The nature of the book can be gained from its subtitle which reads, "An Appeal in Bishalf of the Silent Masses of Our Country Against the Despotic Rule of the Pew." The purpose of Mr. Skaggs is stated in the very first paragraph of the first chapter where he says: "The purpose of this book is the presentation of facts relating to the policies and practices of an Oiligarchy by which the Southern States of America have been ruled for more than forty years; and also a survey of the resultant evils of such policies and practices." Mr. Skaggs discusses peonage, lynching, disfranchisement, race proscription, the chain-gang system, child labor, the Ku Klux Klan, financial delinquencies of southern states in repudiation of their just debts, and other corrupt practices. From his own personal experience and knowledge, he reveals hitherto unknown facts relative to the decay of civilization in the southern states. These revelations will be of great interest to Afro-American readers although all of Mr. Skaggs' conclusions may not be agreed with.

Smith, editor of The Gazette, who at his (Harding's personal) request led the fight, as far as our people were concerned, for the nomination and election of Warren G.

Attorney General and an Afro-American of national prominence, expresses his willingness to join with all who are opposed to Klanism, as a means of preserving America's cardinal doctrines, as well as self-protection. Describing the Klan as the greatest menace to American democracy, today, Mr. Lewis declares that it is aimed first at the Afro-American, then at the Jew, then at the Irishman and the Catholic and finally at the foreign born. “There are colored men now living who remember the Ku Klux Klan of another day,” said Mr. Lewis. “It came into being to put the colored voter and citizen out of business. Intimidation, coercion, lot and murder, were the realities.” Fifty years are the Democratic party was the Ku Klux party. Today the Republican party is the Ku Klux party. The debate of the Ku Klux party. "I see no way of putting down the Ku Klux Klan except, through the instrumentality of the Democratic party.

Penal Code Section. Boston, Mass., Sept. 3, '24. Hon. C. Bascom Slemp. Secretary to the President, Washington, D. C. My dear Sir: I notice in your letter of Aug. 29 to Mr. Branin that you say: "Concerning the Ku Klux Klan, the President has repeatedly stated that he is not a member of the Order and is not in sympathy with its aims or purposes." Altho I am a very omnivorous reader of newspapers, I have not seen any notice of any statement of the President. Please inform me when, where and what the President said. I note that the difference between the President's position, as stated by you and Mr. Dawes, is simply this: the President's position is entirely negative and that of Mr. Dawes is apologetic. The reasonable, if not the only inference is that the President also agrees that there are high-minded and patriotic citizens among the Klan the same as Mr. Dawes does, notwithstanding the aims and purposes of the Klan, with which the President is not in sympathy. Does President Coolidge oppose the aims and purposes of the Klan? Does he oppose the Klan itself? Why doesn't President Coolidge speak for himself? I beg to call your attention to section 19 of the penal code which the President is sworn to administer, and over which his department of justice has ample power and authority, and moreover a duty to enforce. The section is in substance: "If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any citizen in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution and Laws of the United States; or because of his having so exercised the same; or if two or more persons go in disguise on the highway or on the premises of another with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured"—they shall be fined not more than $5000 and imprisoned not more than ten years, and shall thereafter be disqualified from holding any office under the laws of the United States. That section was upheld in the case of United States vs. Quinn and Beal, 238 U. S. 347. This was a conspiracy to deprive certain Negro citizens of the right to vote. Hon. Moorfield Storey, president of the N. A. A. C. P., appeared upon the brief, and the Hon. John W. Davis, then Solicitor General of the United States, argued for the Government. I call your attention also to the case of the United States vs. Mosely, 238 U. S. 385. This was a conspiracy to omit the returns of certain precincts (colored) in a congressional elect IN-UNION IS STRONGER LE COPY FIVE CENTS OPEN!

"There are colored men now living, who remember the Ku Klux Klan of another day," said Mr. Lewis. "It came into being to put the colored voter and citizen out of business. Intimidation, coercion, riot and murder, were there not? Fifty years ago the Democratic party was the Ku Klux party. Today the Republican party is the Ku Klux party. The debate of the Ku Klux Klan in the Democratic convention was the most refreshing and wholesome thing that has taken place in American politics in a quarter of a century. The Hon. John W. Davis has taken his stand upon that issue, and I propose to stand with him. The Republican candidate for President, slimy with the fifth of segregation, has said nothing up to now as to whether he stands for the Klan or against it. Is the Republican party afraid to take a stand against the Ku Klux Klan? Is it still the party of Lincoln, of Grant and Roosevelt?" tion. Mr. Justice Holmes said of the original of the act of 1870, that the source of this section is in the days of the Ku Klux and acts of violence were, obviously in the minds of Congress, "The 14th Amendment", to use a happy analogy of the Solicitor General, (Mr. John W. Davis), "was adopted with a view to the protection of the Colored race, but has been found to be equally important in its application to the rights of all. Section 6 had a general scope and used general words that have become most important now that the Ku Klux have passed away." Now that the Ku Klux Klan has been revived for its old purposes; the old law may be invoked, and it seems to me it is up to the Government, to put down the Ku Klux before the Ku Klux inevitably controls the government. Respectfully yours, Julian D. Rainey. (Republican National Committee, Wrigley Building, Chicago. For Release on Receipt.) ROSCOE'S "COOLIDGE HOT AIR" The oFlowing Is Simply Ridiculous and Is Published as "Exhibit, No. 1"—Lord, Have Mercy! Chicago, Ill., August — From a standpoint of popularity with the colored citizens of the United States, President Coolidge is even greater than his party, (joke No. 1), under whose standard the race has rallied for protection since the days of Lincoln. "Col. Roscoe Cunkling Simmons of Chicago, nephew of Booker T. Washington, is authority for this assertion. ("Nuf sed.") "Col. Simmons, who was a leading (?) speaker at the recent silver anniversary, convention here of the National Negro Business League, told in an interview why the President is so highly (?) regarded by colored people. "It is not merely because we feel that Mr. Coolidge is personally sympathetic (O, Lord!) toward us," he said. "It is because his policy of giving impartial treatment to all, (ridiculous), without regard to class, creed or color (segregation) assures every group of equally just consideration. (Positively silly.) Explanation of President (Coolidge's popularity (?) is found in the fact that he is not particularly the friend of any one class—he is a friend (?) of the American people as a whole." "Col." Simmons cited another "reason" for the President's high standing. "People of my race," he asserted, "were drawn ("in a hog's eye") to Mr. Coolidge because he is a product of New England, which has started and fostered many worthwhile movements for the education of the Negro. Practically all of our great institutions of learning, with the exception of Tuskegee Institute, founded by Booker T. Washington, grew out of the efforts of New England white men. Mr. Washington was himself of New England stock." (Indeed?).

Ohio Afro-Americans are go- ing to La Follette by the hundreds, daily. and some are even espousing the cause of the Hon. John W. Davis, the Democratic candidate for President, because of bis RECORD (made nearly ten years ago) against peonage, disfranchisement and the Ku Klux Klan. Over in Indiana where the Republican candidate for Governor (Jackson) is a kluxer, and our voters as a result are forced to support his Democratic opponent who is anti-Klan, there {s little in- terest, if any, shown in the cand!- dacy of: pro-Klan, Segregation Cool- age. Here in Ohio, the Klan divid- ed {ts support, at the recent pri-| maries, between the Republican can- fidate for governor, Harry L. Davis, | and a man by the nam® of Seiber, | st Akron. The Republican cand!-| fate for Mentenant-governor, ac- eording to common report, is an out-| snd-out kiuxer. So there you have) it, Brother Andrews. Still, there| are some of our people in this state, and possibly somei in Indiana, who ike the writer would prefer to sad port Coolidge if he woulé make it possible for them to do so by witae| out that segregation, so bitterly complained of, and by declaring himself on the Klan issue in unmis- takable terms. Something he has NOT done. egies BRITISH VIEWS OF AMERICAN “PROSPERITY" While some of our American poli- ticians are admiring the free trade policy of Great Britain, there are some eminent British authorities who see the advantage of the Amer- fean protective system. One of these, the London Daily Mail, said recent- dy: “The United States produces more than half of the world’s steel and of the products made of steel. Mil- lions of workers own thelr own com- fortable homes, and have a tele- phone and a motor car and other luxuries of which the English work- ingmen scarcely dream.” Several years ago the British Board of Trade sent a special com- mission to the United States to visit ‘various sections of the country and ‘study industrial conditions. That [commission made 2 very extensive investigation and a comprehensive Teport covering conditions of labor, wages, and living conditions. The report of the commission was pub- lished as a public document in Eng- land. In that report the commission expressed its surprise at the large proportion of American workmen who own their homes. ‘The com- ment was made that American work- men have meat on their tables two or three times a day, dress comfort- ably and not only enjoy many lux- uries but have money in the savings banks. There has never been any doubt that the chief reason why American labor is prosperous and can maintain a high standard of liv- ing is that it is protected ‘from the competition of cheap labor by a pro- tective tariff. It is true that the American workman pays higher prices for what he consumes than does the British laborer, but the im- portant fact is that he has the money to pay. Low prices mean nothing to a man who is out of a Job and has no money at all. Therein lies the important fact that the Demo- cratic leaders overlook. They hold out the promise of lower cost of Iiv. ing but do not tell the American ‘workman that under free trade we shall buy more abroad and less at home and the American will lose his fod. As a matter of fact, how- Jever, free trade does not alway: | bring lower cost of living. In 1913 14, after the passage of the Wilson. Underwood tariff Iaw, the cost o! living went up, and the income of | workmen went down. Even if ther: had been a lower cost of living, that lower cost would have beon no ad vantage to the men who were thrown | out’ of work’and were forced to jolt the bread lines, line up beside the ||tree soup carts and seek shelter in free lodging houses. LA FOLLETTE POPULAR! “Negroes” Everywhere Rallying To ‘His Banner—Prominent Editors Among Them—A. Sewell, La Follette’s First “Negro” Elector Chicago, Ill.—In the last ten days the La Follette national headquar- ters here has received many letters from Afro-Americans, pledging their support to Senators La Follette and ‘Wheeler, and inquiring in what way they can best help to elect them. The work of organizing them is be- ing carried on with rapidity. The daily press of this city expresses sur- prise over the deflection of our vot- ers from the Republican camp, and their flocking to the La Follette camp. Cook County boasts of two strong Afro-American La Follette grganigations, one on the south and the other on the west side. Mr. A. Sewell, a prominent citizen of Chi- cago, has been named as a state elector. A number of our news- papers have already pledged their support to the Senator. Among them are: The Washington (D. C.) Tri- Dune, The Baltimore (Md.) Afro- American, The Louisville (Ky.) Leader, The St. Louis (Mo.) Argus, ‘The Gary (Ind.) Sun and The New Orleans (La.) Courier. In a con- ference with I. Willis Cole and J. E. Mitchell, newspaper editors, Con- gressman Nelson, national La Fol- lette manager, explained the atti- tude of Senator - Follette toward our people and the part which he played in the fight for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. Re- publican. leaders in congress, he said, “were not sincere in their ef- forts to pass the bill. It was ut- terly disgusting to an honest man to see the way they evaded and side-stepped, their responsibility.” The Senator’s vigorous attack on the Ku Klux Klan has driven Candi- fates Davis and Dawes “out of their noles” and has extracted a confes- jon from them. Coolidge, how- wer, is still silent! His silence is . bid for Klan votes. He is losing laily more Afro-American votes, as . direct result of the bid. (Ohio fro-Americans had one presidential | ccker, deamey poate. wge.—altor.) | Our Independent Voters League. which held a big meeting Wednes- day, at its headquarters cor. Cedar Ave. and BE. 40th St., gave the fin- ishing touches to its organization and rounded out a program which ‘will be followed in its campaign for Robert M. LaFollette for president. An advisory committee was appoint- ed with Peter Ross as chairman. A lively interest in the movement is reported, and nightly meetings have already been scheduled. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard of New York City. editor of Thé Nation and vice-presi- dent of the N. A. A.C. P., has been fngaged to speak here under the League's auspices at an early date.

Veterans do not read the newspapers closely enough, according to Samuel Lovenbein, in charge of the American Legion office in the Union Trust building basement at Euclid Ave. and E. 9th St., where help is given those filing applications. Here is a bit of information for some. This writer was once Tony Langston's "boss." He was "employed" in the circulation department of the Cleveland Journal; way back in 1905, at Cleveland, Ohio, when "yours truly" was editor of that ambitious publication, in a partnership with Welcome T. Blue and Councilman Thomas W. Fleming.—Nahum Daniel Brascher. 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 through 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.

Segregation How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—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 disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria 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 can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taxes, as it takes up 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 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, comfortable 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 to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored 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 in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes with him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests of quickness and accuracy to the handling of mail. The colored cloaks 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 for nothing else than the color of their skin. (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 can accept inferior positions there on account of their more lucrative avenues of 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 open room of the employees. I am glad to see that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience 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, as elsewhere, the inferior whites pass over our superior employees to direct 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 dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He set the building abre 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 employees are taught that there is no way to escape for them 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 cases only to be met by a denial of the condition he has ist, 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 issue for the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot hear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.-Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving the student Thomas Woodrow Wilson and many of his family, three heroic young ordeed women who lost their position as result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member 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 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 innovation. 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 thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was the crises. Oswald Garrison Villard to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity 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 altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fulness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Summer 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 SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1924 and working stations, and of course 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 in our government segregation. Our people are still looking 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. "Line" said sarcastically or ironically, at Springfield, that he had no ambition to be governor or lieutenant-governor. Because his ambition has been 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 "political sun"? LORD HAVE MERCY! Lady's Maid Is Not Quite Soft Sinecure. Long Hours and T tedious Work Is Required to Make Goods. PARIS—Being a lady's maid is far more of a profession than may be suspected by the little kitchen girl on the outskirts of splendor or by the complete outsider who covets a chance to see the life of the rich. Lady's maid is a real honest-to-goodness, who will require variations enough to occupy her and standards rigidly to be upheld. Lady's maid, in fact, has become a position so highly specialized that the duties have been drafted in a code, published by a domestic service employment exchange, as follows: Madam usually arises at about 10 o'clock. Her personal maid探察 her bath, which is followed by a rub-down. Said maid then brings madam's breakfast tray. "After this, she selects madam's clothes, using her own judgment (which is expected of her if she is an experienced maid) as to what suits the occasion. Madam usually prepares a dinner, a dinner, and for the evening gown later. In each instance her maid has to be on hand to assist her. Traveling Companion. Traveling Companion. "A good maid usually accompanies her hair and toes tours and her advice is frequently sought in the selection of hats, garments etc. She also reminds madam of the day's engagements and sees that the various toilet accessories," such as handkerchiefs, perfumery, rouge and so on, are in madam's handbag and she is free to attend "such a maid is free about an hour a day, aside from meal times, at about 2 o'clock. She gets up at 9 o'clock. Her meals, which are excellent, are served in the dining room. She is permitted to have visitors, but is given only every three Sundays or, third Sunday. Salaries vary, ranging from $75 to $95 a month. "The maid must be a good seamstress and mender, as she has to inspect madam's wardrobe and keep her clothes in order. She must understand thoroughly hairdressing and manicuring, and be experienced in packing, as madam usually takes from eight to ten trunks on her travels, where the master of the dress does not have a valet, she is expected to attend to the packing of his clothes also. "On evenings on which madam attends the theatre or other social functions, her maid waits up for her, having already slipped back the bed covers, laid out night gown, dressing gown and bed slippers, lowered the lights and placed water and glass within easy reach. Her mistress usually returns at 11:30 or 11:45 o'clock. She assists her in getting ready for bed, brushing hair, etc. "Where there is a butler, such maid does not have the care of pets; but in the absence of a butler she is expected to take them out for an airing and see that they are properly fed." Wrong Packing Reduced Sales Imports of cigarettes through the Port of Bombay for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1924, were valued at $1,276,560, of which Great Britain furnished $1,196,158 and the United States $29,704, says Consul Keblinger in a report to the Department of Commerce. During and immediately following the war, he adds, American cigarettes were smoked in this district because of the scarcity of English cigarettes, but when the English article became abundant American cigarettes practically disappeared from the market. This was almost entirely due to the failure on the part of American manufacturers to pack their product in a manner suitable for a tropical climate. An Outrage! PSEUDO "BLACK CABINETS" Negro "Political Bootlickers" Thoroly Castigated Self-Styled "Leaders"—Mill-Stones Around the Neck of Of the Race—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 Negro patronage to their favorites. Sometimes they are satisfied with running a crap game in defiance of the law. 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 to give them 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 uninfluenced 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 speak for themselves and 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 aggrandissement. 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 aims, the aims of the national movement 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 IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after several years of official discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature not white." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, 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 in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian 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 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. have leaders. These should be men of sterling worth, of achievement, of intellect, thoroughly imbued with the ideals of democracy and fullorbed 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 Judasies and in rescuing the government from more grafters and restoring it to its proper function of inspiring the blessings of liberty to all—Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. Du Bois' "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 criticises the mass of privilege, monopoly and condescension which now masquerades as the party's weapon. "Another is the gentleman who accuses everybody who differs with him of being a scoundrel. In every campaign the attempt of self-respecting Negroes to vote as men and not as puppets is met with a flood of filth and abuse from certain Negro newspapers which are either paid to support the Republicans or expect to be paid. Unless we overwhelm these evil editors and condescending politicians we will but weld our political slavery on our child-en. "The base of our trouble is that still, to a large number of promilen Ntegroes, '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 materiality." 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. "LEGERDERMAIN" Wednesday morning, Aug. 13, '24, the morning after the Primaries, the daily papers of Ohio announced the vote on state candidates in about half the voting precincts of Ohio. Our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor was running second (eight candidates, all white except our candidate). It, our vote as announced, was between eighty-four and eighty-five thousand. From that on until evening our vote steadily decreased to about fifteen thousand. Little wonder that Gov. Vic Donahue, early last year, characterized the primaries of both parties in Ohio as "ROTTEN." This is no secret, either. But even that does not discourage us, as hoped by prejudiced 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 secured for them!

LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law 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 been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6278. "Sorious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise 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 person on the part of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) 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 gonce on the part of any person unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share, and the minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6228. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6228. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of the person lynched by the mob. From any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6228. 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 to recover the amount of the judgment against the county from which the mob origination 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 dispense such mob. (631) 1616.19 Section 6229. 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 Editor Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Coge of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, or manager of an inn, restaurant, or 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. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or both. Person aggrieved thereby to be reefered 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. Missed 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, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. M. Dear Michelle, Cleveland, O. My Dear Michelle, Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to understand a separate cover, the Ohio Law, porter 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 coming on in its own town, there would be seen no occasion for criticism editor: THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER REPROACH, nor our courts and administration it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours. R. C. Grant. Patronize Our Advertisers
