Cohen as U. S. Customs Official—Calls 14th Amendment Void—Would Disfranchise the Race. New Orleans, La. According to local daily newspaper, the "illy-white" Republicans of this state, a section of that southern, piratical gang of political half Democratic misfits, which Ex-congressman C. Bascomb Slemp, private secretary to President Coolidge, and others of a like kidney foisted on the Harding administration, are backing a suit, attacking the validity of the fourteenth amendment "from a new angle", which was to be filed in federal district court here, this week, in the form of a petition seeking to enjoin the Hon. Walter L. Cohen, controller of the customs of the port of New Orleans, from exercising the duties of that office. The action, if successful, would have the effect of disenfranchising every Afro-American. The petition charges that Mr. Cohen "falsely alleged himself to be a citizen of the United States", when he took the oath of office and that he is not a citizen of this country, "but a person of African blood and descent and inherently incapable of being a citizen". The suit which is to be brought in the name of Atty. H. Edwin Bolte of Washington, D. C., declares that the grounds upon which it is based never have been decided by the courts. This is an old "claim" of many years' standing. The petition sets forth that three-fourths of the states did not ratify the amendment nor was it adopted by the required two-thirds vote of both houses of congress. Mr. Bolte was quoted as saying that an examination of the more than 200 supreme court decisions touching upon the amendment disclosed none that dealt with the points raised in his action, nor were they made an is- The Inside of the Contest—The Willard and Garfield Schools—"Jim Crow" Negroes Active. Dayton, O.—Four or five mass meetings have been held here, recently, at which large collections have been taken and the school-board condemned for its latest "jim crow" school effort. It is reported that around $500 or $600 have been raised. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., just a year ago, collected $700 in Dayton; yet when this fight came up our people are again asked to give largely. It seems the fight has been started back-ward. The Willard school is a mixed school with separate rooms for back-ward children from the South. The Garfield school is the one where there is absolute segregation and where the fight should have been waged. This "Garfield" situation, was asked for some ten or twelve years ago, by some of our people, thru their leaders. The persons who are leading in the present fight want the "jim crow" Garfield school to remain as it is, a segregated school; but rooms for backward children, at the Willard school, they want closed. This is inconsistent. Summed up, this is the situation: 1. Our people themselves are responsible. They have been meddling with the schools for some time. 2. They are hopelessly divided upon the question, some of the leaders wishing for separate or "jim crow" schools with equal accommodations; something they never get even the promised. 3. Our professional men are at the bottom of the whole affair, securing positions for their wives and friends. 4. The Dayton schools are overcrowded and the school board is asking to make a bond issue for $4,000,000 to carry out a building program. Some of our men foolishly wish to see a big "colord" or "jim crow" school out of it. The school board affects to look upon the "jim crow" Garfield school as the situation most satisfactory to the majority of our citizens, and of course is wrong. 5. Some of the parents are in earnest about this fight and are giving their money freely, feeling they are protecting their children, and they are right! Mrs. Grace Lucas' parents. Rev. and Mrs. Andrew Byrd, of Lima, are with her for the fall and winter. Rev. and Mrs. B. K. Smith, of E. Mt. Zion Baptist church, have returned from a visit at their native home in Virginia. Rev. Smith tendered his resignation as pastor, some time ago owing to ill health, but his congregation very wisely refused to accept it, and gave him a vacation. sure. The position charges conspiracy to the authors of the amendment in congress and various sections are cited in an effort to show that they put the amendment into effect unlawfully. As to Mr. Cohen, the petition charges that when he took the oath of office in Washington April 16, 1924, he swore falsely to his alleged citizenship, claiming to be a citizen under "the provision of the alleged fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States." The petition alleges that eleven states of the Union, at the time of the adoption of the resolution, "culminating in the alleged Article 14," were unconstitutionally deprived of their equal suffrage in the senate, that six states were, by coercion, forced to ratify it, and that congress "did will out power or authority, unlawfully declare said amendment, to the constitution adopted and a part of the constitution." The petition requests the issuance of an injunction restraining Mr. Cohen from serving further as controller and from drawing the salary for that office. The Hon. Walter L. Cohen, a Republican leader of Louisiana, has been a storm center since his nomination to the post by the late President Harding. The senate refused confirmation. President Harding then made a recess appointment, and he served several months without pay. President Coolidge later, sent his nomination to the senate and again confirmation was denied on the same grounds. Later the nomination was confirmed, upon reconsideration, with the help of Senators La Follette, Brookheart and others. OUR GREAT PROGESS Nothing Like It Abroad, He Says—Educational Opportunities Given Credit. Atlanta, Ga.—"To a visitor from South Africa, the progress of the Afro-American is positively astounding," says Rev. A. A. Kidwell, prominent religious leader from Johannesburg, who has just rounded out an extensive tour in this country, making a special study of our education. "I have been particularly pleased," he continued, "with the educational progress of the race in this country. In South Africa it is popularly supposed that the educated black African is a failure. Here I find that just the reverse is true. The American people seem to recognize that education affects the Afro-American just as it does anybody else, making him more capable, more efficient, a better citizen, and an asset to society. Your system of public education is based on that theory, and the multitudes of educated, progressive Afro-Americans whom I have found throughout the country prove that the theory is correct. "I have been deeply impressed, also, and even astonished", said Dr. Kidwell, "at the economic competence which Afro-Americans are achieving—their success in agriculture, industry and business. Your big insurance-companies, banks, real estate corporations, construction companies and the like have no parallel anywhere else in the world, so far as I know, and certainly not in South Africa." Dr. Kidwell is superintendent of many churches and schools in British South Africa and is deeply interested in promoting the welfare of the natives. His observations of the favorable effects of public education and economic opportunity for the race in America he hopes to use to good advantage on his return, in the effort to bring about a more liberal attitude toward the native population. He frankly admits that the relations of the races in South Africa are much more difficult than here and that the natives labor under limitations and handicaps far more severe than anything to which the race is subjected in this country; and, in their own NATIVE country, too. Dr. Kidwell spent several hours looking into the work of the Interracial Commission, and expressed the opinion that its principles and methods ought to be applied around the world wherever there is interracial friction.

The Contemptible Campaign. Statement Recently Sent to All of Our Newspapers From West Virginia. New York City. Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton, Saturday, received the following communication from the Hon. John W. Davis in which the Democrat Presidential candidate makes reference to his record on matters affecting our people: "Dear Mr. Morton—I am informed, that the question of my activity in favor of legislation advocating the distrustishment of the Negro and establishing so-called 'Jim Crow' laws governing transportation has again been raised. "In the Democratic Convention of 1908, Mr. Louis Bennett was nominated Democratic candidate for Governor, and it was the delegation who supported him who advocated the introduction of a so-called 'Blywhite' plank in the Democrat platform. As a delegate to this convention I placed in nomination Thomas E. Hodges, who was opposed to the adoption of this plank, and I advocated his candidacy throughout the convention. "I have so frequently denied these statements that it seems almost unnecessary for me to do so again. It would seem to me that my successful fight in the Supreme Court against certain peonage laws and my efforts which had the result of having the Supreme Court of the United States declare unconstitutional the so-called Grandfather Clause in the Constitution of the state of Oklahoma should be sufficient answer to any falsehoods which may now be circulated concerning my attitude toward the Negro race. "I hope you will brand as unqualifiedly false any statements which are not in accordance with the facts given above. "Sincerely yours, (Signed) "John W. Davis."

Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting white workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained, Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photo- Making a Vigorous Campaign For Election to Congress in the 22d District. Speaking in seven towns of Lake and Geauga counties in two days, Albert F. Coyle, independent candidate for congress in the 22d district, is making the most vigorous campaign of any congressional candidate. Coyle schedule calls for one to five meetings every day, except Sundays, from now until election night. His itinerary covers every village and city in Lake, Geauga and Cuyahoga counties. Mr. Coyle has challenged Theodore E. Burton, republican candidate for re-election, to meet him in joint debate in nearly all of these places, but Burton has so tar evaded discussing his record with his opponent. Mr. Coyle is making his campaign squarely on the basis of good government, asserting that Burton's advocacy of the Teapot Dome deal, his vote to place additional tax burdens on the small tax payers in order to relieve the multimillionaires and his opposition to farm relief and important humanitarian legislation, make him unfit longer, to represent the 22d district at the national capital. Through the columns of the labor publication which he edits, Mr. Coyle has continually plead for justice to our race and is an intimate personal friend of L. Hollingsworth Wood, a trustee of Fisk University and president of the National Urban League. Dear Sir:—That recent "carnival" or "charity fair", held on the vacant lot at E. 40th St. and Central Ave. for two weeks, was the greatest reproach upon the decency of this community that it has ever experienced. There is no further use of The Gazette's trying to remedy the imoral conditions of that neighborhood when such a disgraceful and gambling affair can be conducted and, too, in the interest of one of our leading churches and promoted by officers of that church. What in the world shall we next expect? As you so often say: "Lord, have mercy!" How, in the name of the Lord, can we expect to get anywhere when that sort of thing is foisted upon us? What would the older citizens of 30 years ago, like your mother and Nannie Sims, Mrs. Serena Brown, Mrs. Mary Ann Brown and others think? And our ministers stand by, supine, and be such a thing be carried on! Say nothing more to the outland-outcrop escapist—for if this carnival can "get by", the little fellow ought not to be disturbed.

Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails from North, Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. Live Candidate for Congress in The 22d District States His Position On Capital Punishment, Too. Rev. W. T. Stone, 1242 Central Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Reverend Stone:—I am very glad to reply to your questions regarding my attitude on public issue. (1) Having been preared by a Christian mother in the state of California where we know no such thing as race discrimination, I have grown to manhood with the belief that every man should be judged on his own merits, regardless of his color or creed. For that reason I feel that the best qualified man for any office should fill it whether he be white, black or yellow. I shall, if elected, see that colored men are given a just opportunity to fill any federal positions which lay within my province to fill. (2) I am not a member of the Ku Klux Klan, although I am a Protestant and a Mason. In fact the publication which I edit was one of the first in America to take a decided attitude on this question long before I ever thought of running for public office. I oppose the Klan on the ground that it is un-American and is bound to create hatred and illwill among our people instead of Christian unity. (3) I am frank to say that my mind is open on the question of capital punishment. For years I did not favor it because I have known too many cases where fatal mistakes have been made and could never be corrected this side of eternity. At the same time, some recent criminal developments have caused me to wonder whether I was right on this question after all, since a certain brand of criminals seem to fear nothing but the death penalty. Needless to add I am bitterly opposed to lynching and shall do all in my power if elected to secure the enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. I scarcely need to remind you that I am the only candidate for Congress in the 22d district who does not have the support of the Ku Klux Klan. In view of this fact I am wondering whether you would not like to send a letter to all of your members in Cleveland stating this fact and including some of my literature therein.

H. Lewis of Bos- ton, when in Cleveland, recently, told the editor of The Gazette that during the course of his conference with President Calvin Coolidge at the White House, some ‘months ago, the President said to him: “When I need you, I'l ring for you". Mr. Lewis had registered our most im- portant complaints with Mr. Cool- idge and asked him for favorable action on them. The latter respond- ed as quoted above. Remember, Mr. Lewis ts possibly our ablest leader in the East, one of the leading law. -yers of the city of Boston, a man of Wealth and a former Assistant U. S. Attorney General. And President Coolidge safd to him in reply: “When I need you, I'll ring for you". Just think of it! Mr. Coolldge ad- dressed Mr. Lewis as if he were talking to a bell-boy in a hotel. This isea rank ingult not only to Mr. Lewis but to the entire race. It not only shows the President a man of small mental calibre but also shows conclusively his contempt for the race Mr. Lewis so ably represents. It also fully explains why President Coolidge has ignored all attempts to direct his attention to that insult- ing and humiliating segregation of our employees in Washinton, D. C. and elsewhere in the government service, and his studied refusal to order its discontinuance. This far over-shadows his continued refusal to speak out against the Ku Klux Klan. Both, however, when taken fn connection with his insulting re- ply to Mr. Lewis, show conclusively his attitude toward our people and stamp him as a person in full sym- pathy with the Ku Klex Klan, if in- deed he is not a member of the de- spieable and lawless organjzation. “Negro” voters, who can support the candidacy of Calvin Coolidge for the Presidency, this fall, in the face of the foregoing, certainly must have political stomachs that can be likened only to those of crocodiles.

It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty, glossy sheen. She was so delighted with Exelento Quinine Pomade, she tried Exelento Skin Beautifier and she tried skin blemishes.

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 bear 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. 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 to him for the confirmation of the P.C. Colonel as S. Collector of the Port at New Orleans. Ask Roscoe "Cuckling" 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. our employees. It's an anomaly 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. 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 that peculiar occasion that the art they are so sung. With all the beauty and perfection of Round 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 relentless favor. It is therefore that wonder that is faceceased. It may be held transfigured—even vaguely disturbed. For the emotion of the "spirituals," however exalted, is vital, stark, rather than polite. Europe scarcely knew this great Amer- INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CO., N.Y. 374 Drawn for this paper By Fisher jean 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 France before the when he sang again before the when he sang again, 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 hawd Roland Hayes sing them feel that they have never known them until now. When he sang in New York "The Crucifixion" a few years ago, he described 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 had were white; half the book of the Bible was black and they were all the same. They shared together the close silence. One emotion wrapped them. And at 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." STATEMENT.

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 taking their taxes, as it takes them of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The justice 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 the amination 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 whites over him, one of the more troubled, though many of the colored employees have won positions in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them 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 are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and 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 off from the whites when they go to course, having the better working conditions, sanitation and recreational facilities, since it is a large cafeteria with a huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, 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 directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance indulged, he broke out the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there were war crimes to be dared to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of them, and especially to meet by a demand that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult task. If they are so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroes who cared for women who lost their positions 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 iodged 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 discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y.M.C.A. to give them to continue the democracy was at the crises, Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregates, 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 fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREATED in their rest rooms, toilets. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY OCTOBER 11, 1924 and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age, normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hoping 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. (Special to The Gazette) (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 land 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 that segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair 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, his largest punishment of the treasury, involving several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce 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 government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilet, 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 not allowed to enter the science at times, and are forced to 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 delightful threat that the city 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 registrieship 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; they rejoice in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must access segregation or elimination, and be 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 loyal Afro-Americans, male and female, thrust the length and breadth of this country, these are two things he will have to do. RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds to together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount. OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW 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 Section 6278.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1834 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury." for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars ages from the county in which the assault is made (§ 61 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 five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars ages from the county in which manent disability to serve is livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (§ 92 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, there no widow or minor child of such person, and, 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 62826. 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 62827. 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 a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any county. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-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: **BBS.** ed. g. representative of victim of lynchingury by mob trying to lynch another and costs in tax levy. s. must member of mob. nst another county. Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed to recover the amount of the judgment to recover the county from which the mob cancance on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in falling to protect such prisoner or dispense such mob (6288.164) or (6288.165). Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (628.3 v. 163.12) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating establishment, shop, public convalescences by land water, theater or other place of public entertainment and amusement, denies to a citizen except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the most preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. 一 This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, G., April 25, 1919. Hon. Hugh C. York. Editor The Ohio Law Journal. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion to edit accordingly. THE LAW OF OHIO HISTORY PROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed.
