OPPOSED SEGREGATION!
Senator Robert M. La Follette's Stand on Issues Vital To Our Interests.
Chicago. Ill.—The question is often asked by interested men and women of our group. "How does Senator La Follette stand on those questions which affect us?" The following is a brief summary of what he has actually done for our group without any pressure having been brought to hear upon him:
1. He is the first governor of the state of Wisconsin to appoint an Afro-American to a responsible office in that state. That was twenty-four years ago when there was only a handful of our people in Wisconsin.
2. In 1906 he, with the late Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio, championed the unpopular cause of the soldiers of companies B, C and D, of the 25th Infantry, who were "discharged without honor" by President Roosevelt, contrary to law.
3. He championed the cause of our people during the race riots in Chicago, East St. Louis and Washington, D. C. A signed editorial in his magazine is one of the strongest written on the subject.
4. He voted in favor of the appropriation of $470,000 for new buildings and equipment for Howard University.
5. Kept away from his desk by illness, when the vote was taken on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, he saw to it that the Wisconsin delegation in Congress voted for it. Stafford who voted against it, is an opponent of La Follette.
6. He has advocated the reduction of southern representation in Congress since the Afro-American is distranchised in the southern states.
7. Credit is due him for the confirmation of Walter H. Cohen as U.S. Collector of the Port at New Orleans. Ask Krocco "Cackling" Simmons about this.
8. He was the first candidate who unequivocally denounced the Ku Klux Klan. If he had done nothing else, our people should give him their unstinted support.
9. He and Mrs. La Follette fought governmental segregation of our employees in Washington, D. C. It is an axiom that a man's past action is a good barometer of what to expect of him in the future. Our group, then, may safely place its destiny in the hands of Senator La Follette, whose past record relative to Afro-American citizens stands unblemished.
Minneapolis and St. Paul are alive to the storm of the approaching election, as are all other cities in the U. S. The campaign promises to be an unusual one. None of the great parties can rest without distressing dreams of the future, for neither is assured of victory. The Republican party is confronted with a new condition, are its defeat is assured. And this new condition is its loss of strength from the Negro vote, so long its main support—almost unsolicited. For this party to retain this support, it must reverse its past actions. It must DO and promise afterwards. For the Negro, like other races, has awakened to the empty pledges and promises of the party, of past days, and has decided to give his strength and influence to the party that will perform and stand up to its performance. And NOW is the time for the Negro to show his strength and influence by selecting and selecting such men as will see to his securing all rights and privileges, guaranteed him under this American government of which he forms an integral part. We have some here who are putting forth every effort to awaken the love of race unity and co-operation in every affair, religiously, politically and socially. Among them are: Rev. Starks, Messrs. Quinn, Black and others. They are doing a great work to better the condition.
North Minneapolis is well represented in the business world. We have grocery stores, laundries, real estate, coal and wood-dealers, undertaking parlors, restaurants, cafes and other important businesses. All this shows the activity and thrift of the Negro when given an opportunity to improve his condition.
At Bethesda Baptist church, Sunday night, a splendid address was delivered by Dr. R. H. Harris, whose theme was "Brotherhood", Associating the word in everything we have to do, from the cradle to the grave, (he made his subject applicable to everything with which we have to deal.

VILLARD,MEETING ECHOES.
At the recent Oswald Garrison Villard "La Follette" meeting in E. Tech. High school auditorium the theme of Mr. Villard. Albert F. Coyle and our three speakers was that the Afro-American might well divorce himself from the party of Abraham Lincoln" because that party, had fooled and misled him.
R. J. H. C. Bailey, who presided, said he was "getting tired of the idea that my face denotes my political presence." Rev. J. W. Ribbins and he had talked for Harding in Indiana and Illinois and barned then that "the Republican party will promise anything and give nothing." Mrs. Lena G. Lown, national organizer of the uniform rank of the American Woodmen, said that she had been "taught to vote the straight Republican ticket, no matter who the candidate is, what he does and how he does it," and that she thought it was time for our people to think in their voting. All detailed instances of discrimination against our government employees in Washington of "jim-crow" distinctions. The crowd, which filled the floor of the auditorium, was, about one third white persons, and very enthusiastic. Mr. Villard declared that the Republican party, in failing to enact the byer anti-lynching bill and to appoint a race commission to study the southern problem, had failed the Afro-American, as usual. Mrs. Virginia D. Green, school board member; E. S. Beyers and W. Polk, head of the car men's union, were on the platform.
ROLAND HAYES COMING!
Has Created a Renewed Worldwide
Interest in Negro Spirituals
—Our Famous Tenor to Sing
At Masonic Hall, Sunday
Afternoon, Nov. 9th
There is only one way to sing the Negro spirituals—in the mood in which they were conceived. And it is scarcely necessary to point out that they are seldom so sung. With all the beauty and perfection of Ionand Hayes interpretations of the "art songs," it is the Negro spirituals which seem most clearly to distinguish his genius from that of any other living singer. He has the soft, mellowed voice of the race, but in a far finer degree. He knows these songs. With his truly remarkable ability for emotional self-projection and vivid illusion, he actually experiences their simple and abject verses. It is small wonder that his ability, wherever it may be, is held transfigured—even vaguely disturbed. For the emotion, the "spirituals," however existed, is vital, stark, rather than polite. Europe scarcely knew this great American treasury of folk-songs, until Roland Hayes sang them there. It is not surprising that he has again started England, France and central Europe talking about them. When Roland Hayes first sang before the King and Queen of England, and when he sang again before the Queen last spring, both were profoundly stirred by the "spirituals"; they questioned him about them, and pressed him to sing all of them he knew. Of course, America had long known them, but many who have heard Ionand Hayes sing them feel that they have never known them until now. When he sang in New York "The Crucifixion" a few crude verses, unaccompanied, which describe the agony of the Passion, Heywood Brown wrote in the New York World:
"Roland Hayes sang of Jesus and it seemed to me that this was what religion ought to be. It was a mood instead of a creed, an emotion rather than a doctrine. There was nothing to define and nothing to argue. Each person took what he liked and felt whatever he had to feel and so there was no heresy. And as for miracles, music itself is a miracle. For that matter I saw a miracle in Town Hall. Half of the people who heard Hayes were black and half were white; and while the mood of the song held they were all the same. They shared together the close silence. One emotion wrapped them. And at the end it was a single sob. 'He never said a mumbling word,' sang Hayes, and we knew that he spoke of Christ, whose voice was clear enough to cross all the seas of water and of blood."
STUDENTS, DESERT COOLDGE.
His Favor of Segregation and the Ku Kux Kln Drive Them From His Support—Organize a Davis Club.
Athens, O.—Afro-American students of the University of Ohio have formed a Davis Club and are working enthusiastically for the election of the Democratic Presidential candidates. Laurence T. Young, the head of the movement, has issued the following statement:
"There is just a nice little group of us and we often discuss the political situation as best we know it, and we talk, about how we intend to exercise our right of franchise. During the summer, we have been condemning Coolidge because of his insulting segregation and his silent attitude in reference to the Ku Kux Kan, and we decided to help Davis as much as our power and to exert whatever influence we could in his behalf. We, too although rather young in politics, have come to a realizing sense that we owe no allegiance to any party and that what we want are men and not parli-
ACTING JUDGE SULLY JAYMES
One of the Very Few Men of the Race to be so Honored in Ohio and the Country.
(Special to The Gazette.)
Springfield, O.—Last week for the first time in the life of this city a member of the race was honored with an appointment as acting judge of a court. The only other instances of this kind in Ohio, we can recall, were those of Atty Allerius Brown of Toledo and a member of the race, an attorney, in Cincinnati, both of whom enjoyed for a brief interval a similar honor. Both occurrences of some years ago. What makes this appointment of Atty, Sully Jaymes, for he is the loyal member of the race honored with the appointment of acting judge on our municipal or police court, so pleasing, is it came so unexpectedly and without any effort on our part, unless it be the prime evidence of independent thinking and acting our people of this city have given, everybody hereabouts in the last year or two, Judge Miller, a Republican, who has been classed by our people as among the opposition, is the gentlemen who, finding he was to be absent from the city for a day, last week, had the courage and broadness of mind to appoint Mr. Jaymes, and the latter filled the position to the satisfaction of all. All of the cases to come before Acting Judge Jaymes were those of white persons. Not one murmur of disaffection has been heard either, and the city is "loosy" with members of the Ku Klux Klan and Klan sympathizing. Republicans and democrats. Here is concrete evidence of the absolute necessity for more independent thinking and action on the part of our people of this city, state and the country. It is the only thing that will ever get the trace of ours anywhere "in the political sun."
DAVIS ADDRESSES OUR PEOPLE
An Audience of Over One Thousand Assembles in National Theater To Hear Him.
Wilmington, Del.-Hon. John W. Davis, Democrat candidate for President, set a precedent here, last Saturday evening, when he personally spoke before a large audience of our voters. After his speech at the Playhouse, Mr. Davis was escorted to the National Theatre where he was given an enthusiastic reception by more than a thousand of our men and women. The Presidential candidate was accompanied by U. S. Senator Bayard and the leading candidates on the Delaware Democratic state ticket. Robert J. Nelson arranged the meeting and presided. Atty. Edward W. Henry, president of the Citizens Republican club of Philadelphia, and the first prominent Afro-American to come out for Davis, and Atty. J. Stewart Davis, of Baltimore, also spoke.
Lewis-Asbury Debate:
Philadelphia, Pa.—It was the consensus of opinion that the Hon. Wm. H. Lewis, prominent lawyer of Boston, got the better of the argument with Atty. J. C. Asbury, member of the State Legislature from this city, held, Sunday afternoon, under the auspices of the Citizens Republican club forum at 15th and Lombard Sts. The Ku Klux Klan and the attitude of the two parties toward our people were the subjects under discussion. President Edward W. Henry presided. At the conclusion of the debate, Mr. Lewis was applauded for fully five minutes, and the ovation proved conclusively that his convincing talk had made a most favorable impression.
The repeated refusal of the Republican Legislature in Pennsylvania to enact a Civil Rights law and the failure of the Republican party to appoint Pennsylvania Afro-Americans to outstanding federal positions, were significantly referred to amid loud applause.
League Admits Santo Domingo. Geneva, Sept. 29.—The League of Nations assembly voted unanimously today to admit the republic of Santo Domingo to membership.

FOR HIS "CHEAP DEMAGOGIC APPEAL"
Why President Taft Appointed Mr. Lewis, An Assistant U. S. Attorney-General—Howard Upheld and Endorsed the Ku Klux Klan—President Harding's Advice—Coolidge
Washington, D. C., Sept. 30.—suggesting that Perry W. Howard, Afro-American Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi and Special Assistant U. S. Attorney General, challenge to a debate, on our issues of the Presidential Campaign. "Some one of his own mental caliber, if such a person could be bound," the Hon' Wm. H. Lewis of Boston, who is actively supporting the candidate of the Hon. John W. Davis for President, has sent Howard the following reply:
Boston, Mass., Sept. 19, '24. Perry W. Howard, Esq., 1216 Pennsylvania Ave., N. W., Washington, D. C.
"Dear Perry:
"Your letter to me of Sept. 17th, addressed 'My Dear Will,' is hardly of the friendly tenor that the address would seem to indicate. I am painfully conscious that while you hold your pen in one hand and write 'My dear Will,' that you are carrying a knife in the other hand. The cheap, low, demagogic appeal, and special reasoning, makes it perfectly apparent that the letter is written for campaign purposes; so here goes the answer, and you can make the most of it."
"In the first place, you speak of my lucrative practice" as due to the honors the party conferred by making me an Assistant Attorney General. Let me observe first, that I was made an Assistant Attorney General of the United States by the grace of a great, big-hearted, Republican President, William Howard Taft, at the personal solicitation of the late Booker T. Washington. I was not given the place upon the right of the colored people to representation. It was given to me as indicated in Mt. Taft's inaugural, an enouragement to the colored people. See Mr. Taft's inaugural address to this effect. "Any recognition of their distinguished men, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken an enouragement and appreciation of their progress, and this just policy should be pursued when suitable occasion arises." We shall never have another Assistant Attorney General of the United States until it is given us by right, because of party service rendered.
"Second, I enjoy my 'tucuritary practice' because of what I am, and not what I was, as you will probably learn should you be so unfortunate as to lose your present job. I have tried to remedy the situation, when you admit exists, by my unirritating efforts in the Republican party. Arguments and appeals have 'fallen upon deaf ears, within and outside of the party' organization; largely as a result of the position taken by such gentlemen as yourself, who never tell the truth, but always say to those in power, 'all is well', when all is wrong. Your gratitude to the Republican party is not only for favors already, received; but for the hope of personal favors to come. Most of the forward looking, and better thinking colored Republicans take an entirely different attitude toward me than yourself. They have vision enough to realize that the fight I am making is for the benefit of the colored Republicans to remain in the ranks. As to your specializations against the Democratic party, I beg to call your attention to the fact that the Republican party has permitted all of these things to power. What the party permits, it does. Imitating it permits, it requires you to realize that it will kill you to complain of lynching, since long ago you took yourself out of the zone where lynchings are committed; and you took occasion two years ago, as I remember it, to write certain letters to Senators and Congressmen declaring that the Dyer Bill was unconstitutional. You may recall, also; that you are reported; at least, to have made a speech in Maryland not long ago, endorsing and upholding the Ku Klux Klan. I can answer categorically one of your questions. I believe that twelve millions of colored people in this country will be quite as safe under the administration of Davis and Bryan as they are under an administration of Coolidge and Slemp, with such advisers as yourself. To the next question, I will say that President Coolidge has done nothing in the year that he has been President for our group that is worth talking about, with or without an unfriendly Senate. He has done nothing that entitles him to the support of any independent, well-meaning colored person. What

right have you, or any man, to complain of my course of conduct? I certainly have up to now not questioned the integrity of your motives. I am acting this year upon the advice given by the late President Harding in his Birmingham speech. You may read it with a great deal of advantage. Mr. Harding said, Oct. 26, 1921, at Birmingham: 'I do not want the colored

people to be entirely of one party. I wish that both the tradition of a solidly Democratic South and the tradition of a solidly Republican black race might be broken up. Neither political sectionalism nor any system of rigid groupings of the people will in the long run prosper our country. I want to see the time come when black men will regard themselves as full participants in the benefits and duties of American citizenship; when they will vote for Democratic candidates, if they prefer the Democratic policy on tariff or taxation, or foreign relations, or whatnot; and when they will vote the Republican ticket only for like reasons. We cannot go on, as we have gone on for more than half a century. I cannot permit myself to doubt that you were a pretty good Democrat when you were in Mississippi, because you are all things to all men. As to the debate, I will not personally indulge in any circus or hippodrome scenes with you. The subject is too serious. I would advise you to challenge somebody of your own mental calibre, if you can find such a person. No one who knows you would take your opinion as to what the mass of the colored electrate is thinking. In conclusion, dear Perry, may I not call your attention to circular No. 1348 of the Department of Justice, January 2, 1928, or you wish me to call the attention of the Attorney General to the circular? "With fondest regards, and 'an revoil. I am."

Planned For Cleveland—Something As to Its Contemplated Work.
An inter-racial committee of fifty was recommended for appointment by the executive committee of the Federated Churches at a meeting of the comity committee of the Federated Churches at its meeting, Monday afternoon. The committee will be composed of twenty-five Afro-Americans and twenty-five men of other groups.
The work the committee will be expected to do will be to:
1. Keep in touch with the inter-racial situation in Cleveland by giving attention to the religious, social, civic, economic and living conditions of our people.
2. Promote and maintain a high standard of law enforcement by holding occasional conferences with city authorities... (Wards 11 and 12).
3. Cultivate friendly relations between our and the other churches by inter-visitations of kindred groups, such as women's societies, men's clubs, young people's societies, etc.
4. Encourage and assist our pastors who, in addition to their evangelical preaching, are endeavoring to build up a social service program for the community.
5. Arrange for occasional conferences upon some phase of the interracial problem.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1924.
The John W. Davis and Robert M. La Follette records of special interest to Afro-Americans have certainly opened the eyes and minds of thousands of our people throuout the country.
One thing perfectly clear to all is that President "Segregation" Coolidge prefers the support of the Ku Klux Klan to that of our people; so let him have them, and preserve your self and race respect.

Roland Hayes is coming to Cleveland. We can hardly wait. He is our greatest tenor soloist, an artist; acclaimed a wonder abroad where they hear the best in the world and know where they speak.

Separate schools for Afro-American pupils in the state of Ohio are illegal institutions and cannot be maintained, unless our people quietly submit to the same. The State Supreme Court settled that, many years ago.
---
Perry Howard asking Wm. H. Lewis to debate anything with him reminds us of the challenging of Harry Wills by Tut Jackson of Washington C. H., this state. Perry has about as much chance with Mr. Lewis as Tut had with Wills. Perry and Tut have "nerve", tho. There is no denying that.
---
It is just as well to remember that Harry L. Davis, Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio, and the Republican candidate for Lieutenant-Governor (Lewis) do not deny that they are Kluxes and were supported for the nomination by the Ohio Klan which is still backing them. Cut this out and pin it in your hat for reference.

The Italians of the city "worked" on Patrolman Jones and Jenkins (members of the race), because they killed two Italians, in self defense, while on duty in ward 11. What have our people done as a result of the inexcusable killing of an innocent woman of the race (Mrs. Wilson), by a white policeman in Scovill Ave. over a year ago? Ask Rev. Pillow and Atty. Wm. R. Green. Two meetings were held in Rev. Pillow's church, on the insistence of the editor of The Gazette, and money was raised at one of the two meetings, and at a third meeting in Rev. C. C. Aller's church. What became of IT?
SENATOR WATSON IN OKLAHOMA.
Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, the reputed Klan candidate for Vice-President of the Republican party in the Republican National convention, held in this city, this year, opened the Republican campaign in Oklahoma, recently. In speaking at Muskogee, he said: "The Ku Klux Klan is not an issue. Coolidge has been silent on the Klan question for that reason, and for no other. He is not trying to dodge any issue and the fact is that in many of the states of the North there is no Klan."
Senator Watson spoke at the Ophepme Theatre, Muskogee, to a very small crowd. Why should he go to Oklahoma to speak? Why is it that he leaves the "many states of the North" where there is no Klan to go to a border state where the Klan issue is the main issue in that state? It is significant that Senator Jim, the Klan promoter of Indiana, should be the first national speaker to open the campaign in Oklahoma. There is a senatorship at stake in Oklahoma. The Republican candidate, Pine, is an out and out Klanman, running against Jack Walton on the Democratic ticket and anti-klan. Senator Watson is not satisfied with his strength with the Klan in Indiana and with his seat and that of Senator Mayfield, as Klansmen, in the Senate, but travels hundreds of miles to Oklahoma in an
attempt to elect another Republican Klansman to the U. S. Senate. Senator Watson, who has been very close to President Coolidge as a political advisor, tells has Muskogee hearers that "the reason Coolidge is silent on the Klan question is that he regards it as a local issue". It may be a local issue as to Indiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Georgia, Ohio, Illinois, Maine and New Jersey; but it is one and the same national organization that creates the "local issue" and to millions of people it is a NATIONAL ISSUE and should have been denounced by President Coolidge, many months ago, as a national moral issue and menace. His failure to do so shows his lack of moral courage.

BURTON AND COYLE.
Facts That Every Negro Voter in the 22nd Congressional District Should Know—A Comparison.
There are two Republican candidates for Congress in this district, namely, Theodore E. Burton, who is indored by the Ku Klux Klan and by the Republican organization and Albert F. Coyle, who is indored by the Progressive movement.
Theodore E. Burton.
Mr. Burton's record in public life has proven beyond a shadow of doubt that he is tied and bound to special interest. NOW REMEMBER, that notwithstanding the fact that he was first nominated to Congress by one of our group, in the 22nd Congressional District, and that in each of his many campaigns he has received the support, undividedly, of our people, he has to his credit not one act or utterance in our personal interest.
He has been silent in regard to the outrageous system of segregation in the departments at Washington; he was as cold as an Arctic iceberg toward the Dyer anti-lynching bill; he has not recognized our group as to congressional patronage only; he has not supported his ship job during his many years in public office. While the aforesaid shortcomings may be overlooked, as they are with his party in general, yet his latest indorsement by the K. K. K. should be sufficient to convince any Negro man or woman of Mr. Barton's unfitness to represent them in Con
Albert F. Coyle.
Mr. Coyle is a life-long Republican of the Abe Lincoln type. He stands unqualifiedly opposed to the K. K. K.; he stands unqualifiedly pledged to use all his energy and efforts to free America of political and economic slavery; he stands pledged to devote his time to the interest of the common people of which are part of a Vote for President. Mr. Coyle means a vote for equal justice to all and special privileges to none.
We invite every colored man and woman to join with us in our effort for a second emancipation, and to make a really "free" America. Sincerely yours. Independent - Voters League, W. L. Brown, Chr. Ex-Com. —Adv.

Monday, in police court, Judge Sawicki commended the officers, who, under Captain Walter Carey, had smashed in the doors of a second-floor suite at 3303 Scovill Ave. Sunday evening, capturing thirty-two men on gambling charges and one on a charge of suffering gambling. The judge signed Robert Pollar, said to be the operator of the place, $50 and costs. The thirty-two men were assessed the court costs. Suspended sentences were given to fourteen others. Then fourteen others five, 3617 Cedar Ave, was given a suspended fine of $50 and costs when police testified nine men had played dice in her home. Both of these places are in Ward 11. Wonder how the police came to "overlook" the gambling at that street carnival, which closed, last Saturday night, after a two weeks' run, in the rear of the old Hawaiian Gardens, now a garbage? It was certainly a disgrace, not only to the church it was supposed to be conducted as a "benefit" for, also to the church's minister, Dr. Church, John S. A. John's, Dr. Church complained bitterly of it but it was not disturbed. It is simply a "fright" what some of the members of some of our churches will do in their effort to get money "for the church". Wonders never cease, it seems.
"Tiger" Stops "Tut."
Canton, Sept. 30—Tut Jackson, the Washington Court House heavyweight, failed to make much of a stand against Tiger Flowers, the fighting demon from Atlanta, Ga. here, last night, dropping in the second round from a series of three terrific right and left uppercuts. Flowers had scored heavily in the first round and the kayo came after two minutes and thirty-five seconds of the second. Jackson weighed 132 pounds and Flowers 167. Tut is slowly learning to box.
NOW IT IS SAID that nobbeldhain will make baddheaded women, but won't that be another triumph of sex equality?
PROTEST AGAINST WRONG
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and gullotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Tell It, Brother, Tell It!
Tell It, Brother, Tell It!
There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner will we attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune.
"HUMAN NATURE'S
FOULEST BLOT."
My ear is pained
My soul is sick with every
day's report
Of wrong and outrage, with
which the earth is filled.
There is no flesh in man's ob-
durate heart.
It does not feel for man: the
natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as
the flax
That falls asunder at the touch
of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a
skin
Not colored like his own: and
having power
To enforce the wrong, for such
a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his
lawful prey.
* * * * * * * * *
Thus man devotes his brother,
and destroys:
Tis human nature's broadest
foulest blot.

One day I heard 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 complexion 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 that to Exelento prevarate. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25% at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.

OH! THAT STREET CARNIVAL!
LORD, HAVE MERCY! Pastor Kingsley and the "chairman" of the committee in charge of it owe the public an explanation. One patron said he "won three dollars on three numbers" and was taken to task by a memoir of Mt. Zion Cong, church which holds the money, O. Lord, whither are we drifting?
Walter L. Brown, chairman of the executive committee of our Independent Voters' league, is proving a real "live-wire". He is "putting over" some excellent La Follette meetings and other good work that is bound to have a very gratifying offer to the other members of the organization are also active and working in perfect harmony. This means success.
A banquet, 300 plates, will be tendered Atty. Albert F. Coyle, editor of "The Engineers Journal", Oct. 16, in Phyllis Wheatley annex, by our Independent Voters' league; Dr. H. C. Bailey, pres.; Mr. Peter Boult, sec.; Geo. W. Lilly, treas. Mr. Coyle is the "La Follette" candidate for Congress (against the Hon. Theodore E. Burton, the present member) in the 22nd congressional district.

The body of an unidentified Afro-American about thirty years of age was found, late Monday, on the bank of Kingsbury run, near E. 64th St. and Carpenter Ave. A pistol lying nearby led police to advance the theory that a bullet wound in the man's head was self-inflicted. The man was arrested and the court morgue. The police can believe it was "suicide," but we don't. "They do not commit suicide", and we all know it.
An emergency tuberculosis dispensary was opened at the Central Ave. bath house, Wednesday evening, when talks, by men prominent in health and civic affairs, were made. Music and light refreshments.

E. 22nd and E. 40th streets, Cedar Ave, and Kingsbury run, marks the beginning of a drive to lower the high death rate from tuberculosis in that section of the city which our people should greatly appreciate.

Canal's Tenth Year Sets New High Mark.
Canal's Tenth Year Sets New High Mark.
Tonnage Through Panama Waterway
40.5 Per Cent, Over Previous
Fiscal Year.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The tenth
fiscal year of operation of the Panama
Canal, like every other year in
the United States, was closed to traffic for about seven
months because of slides, established
a new high record for traffic through
the waterway. In the year which
ended with June, 5,230 commercial
vessels and 418 United States Gov-
ernment vessels, a total of 5,648
oceangoing ships, passed the
Island. There were 128 transits
of launches measuring under twenty
tons each.
Tolls on the 5,230 commercial vessels were $24,290,963.54 and on the launches $529.25, making a total tolls collection for the year of $24.291,492.79, or a monthly average of $2,024,291.07. Had tolls been assessed on the Government vessels at commercial rates, points out The Canal Record in presenting the figures, there would have been an approximate $1,064,457.37 bringing the total for the year to $25,397,938.16 and the average monthly collections to $2,116,494.85.
The 5,230 commercial vessels carried 26,994,710 long tons of cargo and the 418 Government vessels 224,218 tons, a total of 27,218,928 long tons, or a monthly average of 2,268,244 tons.
Compared with the fiscal year 1923 the figures were: Transits, an increase of 11.43 vessels, or 31.8 per cent; the Canal net tonnage, a 7,542,102 tons, or 40.5 per cent; tolls, an increase of 6,782,548 or 38.7 per cent; cargo carried, an increase of 7,426,835 tons, or 37.4 per cent.
The canal was opened to traffic Aug. 15, 1914. Except in the year 1916, when the canal was closed for about seven months by slides, there has been a continuous and marked increase in business through the waterway, amounting for ten years of operation to about 400 per cent, in transits and 500 per cent, in toils and tonnage of cargo.
"Segregating the ten years' traffic by direction," says The Record. shows the direction evenly divided, excluding as to cargo, the westbound serving a slightly larger number of transits and a slightly higher Panama Canal tonnage and the eastbound showing a slightly higher amount of toils paid and more than 55 per cent. more cargo carried."

HELP RESCUE WORK
Aviators Fly Over Dangerous Parts,
And Are Active in Searches for
Lost Persons—Help Find Bodies
Of Those Who Are Drowned.
BOSTON—Some forty-eight young
men are enrolled in the Police
Reserve Aviation Unit, whose com-
mando c. er is Inspector General
Charles H. McKinney. Every Saturday
and Sunday they forget that
they are business men, don smart
uniforms of dark blue and climb
into their buses. Police Dept.
and Hampshire. Their flying territory
is the triangle formed by Norton's Point, Sandy Hook and Staten Island. The northern limit of the triangle is the Narrows, between
Fort Wadsworth and Fort Hamilton.
The unit was formed in 1918, at which time it could boast of only two planes. In the last year an agreement to co-operate with the United States Navy was made through the assistance of Admiral Plunkett, and the police now have the naval raid seaplanes for the week-end work. The pilots of the Naval Reserve, who work jointly with the police, are under the command of Captain Henrahan, United States Navy.
Up to the present time, according to Inspector McKinney, the chief purpose of the service has been to maintain the military. In flying so far the police will have a body of trained men available in time of emergency.
Requires Real Man.
It takes more than an ordinary man to qualify as police aviator. Applicants must be citizens of the United States, of good character; they must be at least 5 feet 5 inches tall, with sound physical condition, and they must be able to read, write and speak English—"intelligently" the exact word used by the inspector.
Men of all walks of life have joined the unit. One is a sales manager, another is in the baking business, a third is general manager of a large concern, and so on. Some have war records to their credit. The commander of the group, Col. Robinson, was liaison officer between the French and British Armies.
The men are first trained in ground work, becoming familiar with their motor and the design of their plane. Every plane is equipped with a double steering system so that it can be controlled from either pit. "It is so arranged that the man who is learning to guide the ship can operate it while the pilot who is instructing him can at the same time keep control of the machinery," explained the Inspector.
Gruesome Work.
One task, a rather gruesome one, which falls to the lot of the uniformed man in the air, is to seek for the bodies of the drowned, and to locate the small craft that have capsized and been swept seaward. Nothing very exciting about this, but the "sky coop" was served on an offending aviator on Saturday, July 26. The offender had flown too low over the bathing beach at Rockaway on Friday afternoon. The local police, being unable to catch the offender, call upon Police Headquarters for assistance. Orders were given to OFFICERS Hughes of the aviation unit to seek out the erring pilot. He was found on a barren point that extends into the lower bay, and only a plane could have reached him easily. Inspector General McKinney commands six other units of the police regiment, the infantry, cavalry and medical units, the headquarters division, the marine division and the information bureau, 4,000 men in all.
"Thousands of people come to the park when the aviators are flying," he said. "They are interested in the men's activities and enjoy the beauty of the water fren.

‘Washington, D. C.—In the postot-
fice segregation is rampant. The
faithful colored clerks work ander
constant humiliation and physical
disadvantages. The department
maintains a spacious cafteria 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 Iuncheons from home and
eat them any place they can. The
physical discomfore, disadvantage-
ous as it is, is far less galling to the
colored clerks than is the thought of
their government taking their taxes,
as it takes those of the whites, for
‘the comfort of the latter, and setting
thom 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 intelli-
gent and efficient service—the white
man of their attainment being able
to get far more lucrative employ-
ment.
“The department goes even farther
in its solicttude for whites and neg-
Tect of colored. It maintains a well-
appointed club room with pool tables
and other games, comfortable
lounges and other equipment for
yest, 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 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 pres-
‘ence of the colored, to attend a re-
ception to the heads of departments,
including the postmaster general, in
the postoffice building. It announced
dancing and a pleasant social eve-
ning with the officials for “the post-
office employees,” yet not one was
@elivered to the colored clerks. I
wurried a protest to the postmaster
Euuoral the day before It was to
€ome 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 a local hotel.
Tt is inevitable that the wicked
spirit of segregation would express
Mtself 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-
ice, must ever dream of a promotion
to ‘a directive position. ‘The hard,
unyielding caste passes whites over
him, one after another, though many
of the colored employees have won
contests in quickness and accuracy
{athe handling of mail. The. col-
ored clerks have dared to form a
union which meets regularly and
often sends manly and intelligent
protests to the postmaster, and often
Sppeals 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 govern-
ment printing office keeps faith with
the government's universal scheme of
segregation. Some of the best and
brightest of our girls are forced to
accept inferier positions there on ac-
eount of the better and more luera-
Ave avenues of employment being
closed to them because of their col-
or.. The whites are generally of a
very mediocre group, far from equal-
ing our girls in educational equtp-
ment, culture, and working efficien-
ey. 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 larze cafeteria
in this huge structure where all of
the employees may go, but there are
& few tables in an out-of-the-way
fection reserved for our employees.
Tam glad to say that few, very few,
of our people patronize ‘the place,
Dreferring @ little physical incon:
Yentence to the open, sem!-public hu-
miliation of segregation.
In tollet facilities, dressing-rooms,
and work assignments, wherever
possible, the law of segregation is in
fall 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
directive positions, and higher sal-
aries.
‘The whites have a large recres-
tional center in this public building
with many fine appoiniments fort
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-
Tuptly 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 ho was immediately dis-
‘missed. By this severe punishment
our employees are taught that there
is no way of escape for one who
dares to resent the daily insults that
their government (under President
Coolidge) gives them.
Many of the employees havo ex-
pressed their deeply-wounded fecl-
ings to me at being considered a
pariah by the government whose tn-
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 of
my informants. I knew the fate these
informants would suffer s0 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 {s a difficult
thing to fight, since the government
is 80 well settled upon it, and the
complainants cannot bear witness

(Special to The Gazetic’)
Washington, D. C.—Segregation
in the bureau of engraving and
printing has an interesting history
inyolving President Thomas Wood-
row Wilson and members of his fam-
ily, three herole young colored wom-
en’ who lost their positions as a re-
sult of thelr protest, and the noble
wife of Senator Robert La Follette.
Shortly 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 girls to be
contented with the new order as ‘a
great Negro leader had taught col-
ored people to stay in thelr places.”
Three of the young ladies resisted
the order to the last ditch and were
summarily dismissed!
Senator La Foiletts iodged a pro-
test with Secretary McAdoo to no
avail, and his noble wife began a
crusade against the undemocratic in-
novation. She took the platform
here in Washington and Boston be-
fore the famous Twentieth Century
club. She used the columns of the
Senator's magazine, sparing neither
space nor vigor of utterance. She
thundered against if in our local
white press, and addressed the na-
tfonal gathering of the National As-
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People in New York. When
our people here were so profoundly
discouraged, ste came out one
stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A.
to urge them to continue the fight, |
for democracy was at the crises. Os-|
wald Garrison Villard came to town
to attack White House and Cabinet
and arouse our people, and the Na-
Hon 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, name-
y, the elimination of the colored
employees from the bureau alt o-
gether.
‘The same segregation which some
of our people think is the cherished
nstitution of the Democratic party
still there, in all of its fullness,
ander the administration of the
yarty that Abraham Lincoln, Charles
Sumner and Frederick Douglass

and working stations, and of course
none are ever thought of for promo-

girls from our best nomes. most of
them with high asc normal school
training, and fine culture, The white
girls are of no such grade, as there
is no segregation ‘for them in the

unlimited fields at high wage for
even mediocre talents. The best of
our girls must take these inferior

coln’s cabinet, who, in a national ex-
tremity such’ as this country has
never known, devised the national
banking gystem which finanted the
Civil War; and Ohio's master finan-
cier, John Sherman. These men
never knew what segregation was!
‘The present head of the depart-
ment of internal revenue, Mr. Blair
from North Carolina, has not ap-
pointed a colored clerk since his in-
cumbency. While his predecessor,
Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from
‘Texas, appointed and promoted sev-
eral of them. Since the income tax
legislation and the numberless new
taxes that the recent war necessi-
tated, this is by far the largest de-
partment of the treasury, employing
several thousand clerks. Yet Ne-
groes are so scarce thero that they
can't be noticed. ‘There is the same
general complaint here among our
clerks and other employees as there
is in the other branches of the gov-
ernment—failure to recognize thei
efficiency when promotions are due;
ability to go so far and no farther.
‘The various torms of segregation
exist here as well as elsewhere—the
restaurants closed or divided along
color lines, and special toilets, lock-
er 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 inconven-
fence at times, and are forced to
travel long distances when they de-
sire the use of them. The depart-
ment maintains a huge, magnificent
cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of
Woodland along our national drive-
way, where white people of every
class can come to rest, dine, and so-
clalize 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 din-
ers with space to spare; buf not one
Negro! His only share isin the
taxes he is forced to pay for this
luxury for another group!
The registership of the treasury,
which Republican Presidents have
given the Negro since Garfield ap-
pointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now
filled by a white man, and the col-
ored people are congregated in a sep-
arate room which Is publicly pro-
claimed as “a colored division.”
When it is discovered that Negro
clerks are “working as white” in
other divisions, they are promptly
transfered 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 dilemna, fearing
to act. Our clerks must accept se-
gregation 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 com-
pels endurance of it.
By a single stroke of his pen,
President Calvin Coolidge can stop
every bit of this damnable segrega-
tion, just as he can condemn that
jawless organization the Ku Klux
Klan. If he wants the votes, in No-
rember, of loyal Afro-Americans,
male and female, thruout the length
