COOK Honored By Officers and Students of Howard University—Student Killed in a Football Game. Washington, Dr. C. Reeve million of Prof. George W. Cook's all year's connection with Howard University was made by ordinary and students at the Tuesday morning lecture in factories of the University. Dr. Cook in having been a professor of long continued connection with students, to help them, to encourage and aid of the school of commerce and finance, and to the spirit of virtue which has prevailed throughout all of the years. Dr. Cook made a very feeling reply to Dr.ident Durk's remarks and thanked the a M. B. sembly for the ovation which greeted the President's remarks. He pledged anew his determination to continue in co-operation with the trustees and officers of the university to bring about a "Greater Howard". At the conclusion of his remarks, President Durkee asked Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the university, to present Dean Cook a basket of rare flowers, bearing a card reading: "Congratulations—From Officers, Teachers, and Students of Howard University to Dean George W. Cook on the Fiftieth Anniversary of his connection with the University—October Seventh, 1924." Prof. Cook was also presented a gold fountain pen by the Chamber of Commerce of Howard University Funeral services of the late Haywood M. Johnson, Howard football player, who died at Freedman's hospital, Oct. 6, as a result of injuries sustained, Oct. 3, while participating in a game played by Howard against the A. & T. college of Greensboro, N.

Stanley Durkee. G. Smith Wormley, representative of the Phi Bota Sigma fraternity, of which Johnson was a member, and Emory B. Smith, field and alumni secretary, made short talks regarding the high character and splendid promise of young Johnson: PLEDGE DAVIS SUPPORT! Indianapolis, Ind.—Before his departure from Indianapolis, Monday morning, the Hon John W. Davis had a demonstration of one of the factors which may have important bearing on the outcome in this state and which make it impossible for anyone to say that, the Indiana vote is frozen, at this date, to "K. K. K." Coolidge. Fight Against Klan. A delegation of fifteen of our ministers and editors called on Mr. Davis to assure him they not only had pledged themselves to support him as well as the Democratic state ticket, which is leading the fight against the Ku Klux Klan, but that his candidacy would be urged at a mass meeting to be held here at an early date under their auspices. Indianapolis alone has 20,000 to 25,000 African-American voters. Every vote so gathered will be a not gain for the Democrats, and it is pointed out by Republicans themselves that only twice has the Republican party carried Indiana nationally by a margin which would not have been wiped out by a defection of our vote. WITT "FRIES" DAWES Goes Into The History of Lorimer Bank Case, at the E. Tech. High School Auditorium Rally. Asking, "Doesn't he fit in well with the nastiness at Washington?" Councilman Peter "Witt, state La Follette chairman, last Monday night gave special treatment to Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes' connection with the Lorimer bank case, at a meeting of our Independent Voters' League in East Tech. High school auditorium. "After Bill Lorimer, that sweet-smelling reanium, was kicked out of the senate by Bob La Follette for bribery," said Mr. Witt, "he decided to go into the banking business. "He couldn't make it go as a national bank, so he wanted to change it to a state bank. The state bank-examiner insisted on seeing $1,250,000 in cash, which Lorimer didn't have. But he told the examiner it was on deposit at Charlie Dawes' bank, "Hell 'and' Marla." Dawes told the examiner it was and showed him the cash. "The after Lorimer started his bank. Dawes shot the cash, which never had belonged to Lorimer, and in twenty months, Lorimer's bank opened, with 1,000 of its assets. "Since then adventures out of numbers in jobs who have heard the news have rallied against Dawes, and the way Dawes was nominated for vice president the situation came to the point that he landed his bank here for the month's demo store." Mr W. W. was among the sufferers of this disease. He was a man of great problem, much more ill-harmed than that the illness would possibly be to be hard to deal with. DAVIS QUOTES LINCOLN! Squab. Upon Eve. Equality of Opportunity And Before the Law. For All Americans. S. N. Y. Hoe, John W. Lewis, Democratic candidate for President, in a fighting speech here last week, with hands raised and fists raised, he quoted two former Presidents. Washington and Lincoln, and were ordinarily applauded by 2000 men and women at the Colonial Theatre. In quoting Lincoln he said, "No progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that 'All men are created equal.' We now practically read it, 'All men are created equal, except Negroes.' When the No-nothings get control it will read all men are created equal except Negroes, and foreigners and Catholics. When it comes to that I shall prefer to integrate to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty—to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure without the base alloy of hypocrisy. And in this good land, today, any American should be ready to stand forth and sign his yes and amen to those declarations." CLEMENT V. HULL Candidate for The Six Year Term. Judge of the Common Pleas Court—Thoroly Qualified And A Friend of the Race—Vote For Him. Atty. Hull believes in mental freedom as well as physical freedom, absolute equality before the law, freedom to choose our public servants, and especially our judges, who are the custodians of our personal liberties and our property rights, and the universe were created. "men It is just as true now as when man were (and are) created (not born, as is sometimes erroneously stated) free and equal". Atty. Hull believes that when we come into the kingdom of Heaven, and have a spiritual sense of life, we will not identify our "brothers" by the color of their face. He was the champion of free territory for street railways, in the city council, many years ago, which contest ultimately culminated in the decision by the E. S. Supreme Court that the streets belonged to the people and not to the street railway companies. When prosecuting attorney of the Police Court, Atty. Hull protected the rights of the innocent as well as prosecuted the guilty. The editor of The Gazette has known him well, personally, for more than, twenty-five years and endorses, in its entirety and with emphasis, the following item which appeared in this paper, Sept. 27, 1924: When our people are voting, this fall, they must not forget Clement V. Hull, a candidate for judge of the common pleas court. All who know him concede his exceptional ability as a jurist. Add to this the fact that he is an old resident of Cleveland and a life-long, friend of the race; and of course not a member of the K. K. K., and you have enough to justify your voting for him and getting all the friends and acquaintances you can to do likewise.----Advt.

We learn that no such suit has been filed in the Supreme Court, that H. Edwin Bolte, of Washington, D. C., is a disbarred attorney, an alleged klansman and a Republican.

Davis, Democratic candidate for president, by our Veterans this state. The speech was made by Dr. Wm. J. Thompson, long resident and active in our national state and municipal affairs and was at exceptionally interesting and able one. Dr. Thompson, in speaking of the period immediately following the war of the rebellion, said: "Then arose here and there, throughout this nation, men who believed in the spirit of brotherhood of man—believed that the strength, the power, the perpetuity of our Nation rests not on the amount of its possessions, not on the extent of its lands, not on things, but on MEN! Among this group came a young stripling lawyer in West Virginia, who immediately assumed the responsibility of guarding the destiny of this lowly people of that section. We saw him standing before the Legislature of West Virginia, fighting the Jim crow laws; we saw him fighting the nefarious grandfathers clause before the U. S. Supreme Court; we saw him fighting the cause of the West Virginia miners of our group and for thirty years, we have seen him stand with unrelenting persuasion at the bar of justice pleading for a square deal, not for special legislation, not for special favors, but for equal opportunities for the black folk to be men! --- --- Davis by Our People of Missouri Acceptance Speech. And today, Mr. Chairman, we would like that this day had been inconsequential, that we did not after forth an appointment, without equivocation, of our patriotism to this great patriot. It is in honor of the name of him who possessed faith, and in the name of the Negro of this nation, states, present in the nation of appreciation to this nation, from the Hon. John W. Johnson, the first president of the United States of America." Mr. Lovely, in receiving the cup, said in reply: "Gentleman, I am moved, both by the eloquence I have just heard, and by the spirit that prompted your presenting me this gift. I accept this loving cup. It is truly, a thing of beauty. Any man would be proud to be the possessor of such a beautiful thing, such a work of art—but how much more proud would any man be, to be its possessor, knowing that which it represents. I assure you, that anything I have ever done, to warfant such expression of your 'gratitude' is now amply, repaid, were it not already repaid by the knowledge and satisfaction of having done one's duty. I did defend your people on many occasions—in doing which I did only my duty, as one serving an entire people, and as an officer of the law. Never have I had cause to regret it. I have very great respect for the progress to which you refer—that your race has made during those past sixty years. Your ascent from illiteracy to intellectual attainment has been overwhelming; your part in the wars of --- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IN UNION W IS SIPEN-TH this nation has been patriotic, and so recorded in the annals.

Fervently can I assure you, sir, that if the American people see fit to elevate me to the Presidency, I SHALL DO MY UTMOST TO SEE THAT NO CITIZEN UNDER THE STARS AND STRIkes IS DEPRIVED OF HIS HUMBLES RIGHTS. For this gracious gift, gentlemen, I thank you." A GREAT MUSICAL TREAT When Roland Hayes, Our Greatest Tenor Soloist, Sings in Cleveland, Nov. 9. Cleveland has a treat in store, to be enjoyed by all who love good music. Roland Hayes, our celebrated it nor, will give a concert at Masonic Auditorium, Sunday afternoon. Nov. 9. His coming to Cleveland is an exceptional event in local music circles. Critics, local musicians and concert managers are all greatly interested. It means more to us, however, than just the how of a charming singer, for Roland Hayes represents the heights to which all may aspire. He is the 1924 holder of the Spingarn Medal. Reared in Cur- THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN ryville, Ga., on his mother's small farm, Hayes managed despite poverty to educate himself and finally graduate from Fisk University, Nashville. He went to Boston with the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and it was there that Arthur Hubbard heard him sing. This musician was so struck by his remarkable natural voice that he took entire charge of its development. Tentative appearances in Boston and a few other cities, brought universally hearty enthusiasm and commendation. Much encouraged the young artist pursued his studies and finally decided to try his fortune in Europe. He arrived in London unknown, unheralded, and with scarcely enough money to give an introductory recital. Give one he did, however, and it attracted immediate attention. It was shortly followed by a summons to appear before King George and this put the seal on his fame. He was now in demand for as many recitals as he could give. Paris heard of him and invited him to appear there. Vienna was next, and his singing of German songs was a severe test which he passed with columns of praise in all the German papers for his mastery not only of tone but of language. Sudden fame has not changed Roland Hayes. Quiet of bearing, sober and direct, absorbed in his art, he has made his way by the beauty of a matchless voice, exceptional command of phrase and style, and vivid emotional illusion. His program in Cleveland will illustrate this in a group of art songs by old masters and a group of Negro spirituals which he can sing as no other singer on other continent can. Mr. Hayes will sing in Cleveland under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P. A Candidate for Judge, Common Pleas Court; Four Year Term Thorody Qualified. Mr. Bader was born and reared in Delaware County, Ohio. He remained on the farm until he was twenty-one years of age; and was fifty-four years old, last March.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1924. A delegation of Afro-Americans, claiming to be from Indiana, Ohio and Maryland, was refused audience by the Coolidge-Slemp combination in Washington, D. C., last week. They know better now! --- Developing the theme of equal rights, John W. Davis said there must be no discrimination in America, whether of race or color or condition. Least of all, he said, does America want discrimination based upon religion and creed. --- President Calvin Coolidge's record, of importance to our people, consists almost entirely of his insulting and humiliating segregation of our employees in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service; and his refusal to take a stand in the open against that greatest of all American menaces, the Ku Klux Klan. "Hell and Maria" Dawes, his running mate, is an "unknown quantity." SENATOR ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTE In our last two issues The Gazette carried a letter from Mr. G. Victor Cool, of the La Follette-Wheeler Chicago headquarters, which gave Senator La Follette's stand on nine issues of prime interest to our people. Most conspicuous and important were: the Senator's efforts to assist the great Senator Joseph Benson Foraker in his grand efforts in behalf of "The Black Battalion," our innocent soldiers kicked out of the U. S. army and disgraced by President Theodore Roosevelt and his Secretary of War, William Howard Taft; La Follette's splendid stand for the race in the U. S. Senate when the Chicago, St. Louis and Washington, D. C., riots were under discussion; when the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill and Walter L. Cohen's confirmation as controller of the port of New Orleans were pending; his efforts to secure a reduction of southern representation in the Congress because of disfranchisement, as mandatorily required by the U. S. constitution; his stand on the Ku Klux Klan and segregation in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service, under President Calvin Coolidge, Mrs. La Follette, also, being active in the anti-segregation efforts; his appointment of an Afro-American to a responsible position when governor of Wisconsin, twenty-four years ago, the first in that to do such a thing; and his support of the $470,000 appropriation for new buildings and "equipment for Howard University, Washington, D. C. This is a splendid record and is undoubtedly the cause of so very many thousands of our voters, lifelong Republicans, being in the La Follette camp today, and many more will be found there before the fourth of next month. It was President Warren G. Harding who advised Afro-Americans to divide their support among the parties, with issues as a basis, and they are certainly doing so, this time. If the "Solid South" will also take his advice and do the same thing, as seems probable, there will be a surprise awaiting the people' of this country on the fifth of November next such as they have never had before. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage.—Editor. As far as our people are concerned, the Hon. John W. Davis, Democratic candidate for President, is certainly shattering the records made by his predecessors and establishing precedents for all who follow him, both Democrats and Republicans. He is undoubtedly a big man, mentally, a remarkable man, in this day and time—from our particular viewpoint. A southerner and a Democrat, born and reared in the little West Virginia town of Clarksville where the writer first saw the light of day. Many years ago as an active member of, if not a state leader, of his party, he openly, and, too, in a state convention, and, too, the incorporation of a "illy-white" plank in the platform of the party of his native state. As Solicitor General of the United States, the Hon. John W. Davis, the southern Democrat, successfully fought, in the U. S. Supreme Court, peonage in Alabama; the efforts (thru state "constitution" act) to disenfranchise our people of Oklahoma, in 1915; and the efforts of officials of that state, under what was known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, to refuse to count the votes of our electors of Oklahoma. This was all done nearly ten years ago. In his first major address, after being nominated, Mr. Davis came out "four-square" against the Ku Klux Klan and challenged President Coolidge to do likewise, thereby removing it as an issue to the campaign. Senator Robert M. La Follette had also denounced the menace in no uncertain terms. In referring to his splendid work, as Solicitor General of the United States, of vital interest to us, Mr. Davis says: "I did only my duty, and never have I had cause to regret it. Whatever I have done in the past to help the Negro race in its efforts, is no more than I shall be glad and proud to do in the future. If the American people see fit to elevate me to the Presidency, I SHALL DO MY UMOST TO SEE THAT NO CITIZEN UNDER THE STARS AND STRIPES IS DEPRIVED OF HIS HUMBLEST RIGHTS." No candidate for President, Democrat or Republican, in the last forty years, to our personal knowledge, has had such a splendid record, and has made such a personal pledge, verbally or over his signature, during the course of a campaign. From our standpoint or viewpoint, it is most remarkable, to say the least. No wonder a few southern Democrats, who are unalterably opposed to the Afro-American's being permitted to exercise his citizen-rights anywhere in this country where they do not wish him to, are writing to newspapers in Boston, and elsewhere in the country, counseling members of their party to support President Coolidge and the Republican party in this campaign because his "illy-white" and Ku Klux Klan policy is much more acceptable to them than that of the Hon. John W. Davis—made so clear in his pronouncements. They fear, and we sincerely believe they have every reason to fear, that Mr. Davis, in event of his elevation to the Presidency, will do just as he pledges he will do when it comes to the so-called "Negro question." And that is just exactly what we expect and firmly believe he will do. In the judgment, John W. Davis is the ablest Democrat, the biggest and broadest minded candidate for the Presidency, in the last quarter of a century. They tell us that the Hon. Wm. H. Lewis of Boston, former Assistant U. S. Attorney General, (and not a SPECIAL Assistant) is the only Afro-American member the American Bar Association has ever had; that he secured membership in the same when the Hon. John W. Davis was president of the association, and undoubtedly largely because he was its chief executive. We have yet to decide whom we shall vote for, but want readers and people to emancipate themselves from the old fear of the "Solid South"'s domination in event of Mr. Davis' elevation to the presidency, or the fear of "hard times" in the event of the election of Senator Robert M. La Follette. This latter, the scare-talk being indulged in so generally by Republican campaign speakers from "Hell and Maria" Dawes, "Silent Cal" K. K. Coolidge's running mate, down to and including their "Negro political grafters and bootlickers", is bumcake, political bumcake, and simple. It is not worthy a single moment's serious consideration. Read and study the records of the three candidates for President, at least as far as they have relation to our people, and it will not be difficult for you to decide for whom to vote on Nov. 4, next.

CARPENTER Candidate For Judge of the Court of Common Pleas Is a Sterling Friend of the Race—Vote For Him! Attorney Frank G. Carpenter was nominated at the August primaries for Judge of the Common Pleas court by the largest vote given any judicial candidate (in this county) for the court of Common Pleas, regardless of what term they were running for. He was nominated for the term ending Feb. 8th, 1931, and has but one opponent, the Democratic nominee. Frank G. Carpenter was born and reared on the "banks of the Wabash". He lived at Wabash, Ind., until fourteen years ago, when he came to Cleveland to practice his chosen profession. While in Indiana he was twice elected prosecuting attorney of his county on the Republican ticket. Since being in Cleveland, Mr. Carpenter has never held public office. He has practiced law for twenty-three years, and is well qualified for the position to which he aspires. He is married and has three daughters. He is a member of the Cleveland Bar Association, Ohio State Bar Association, and of The American Bar Association. Mr. Carpenter has always been a true and faithful friend of our people. He is broad-minded and does not believe in class-rule. He is at all times an exponent of the idea of a "SQUARE DEAL" to all, regardless of their race, color or religion. He is a strong advocate of political and religious liberty. We believe that Mr. Carpenter is the type of man that will make a good judge and give the public good, efficient, honest service. Remember the name, FRANK G. CARPENTER, for the term ending F. 8th, 1931, on the non-partisan judicial ballot at the election on Nov. 4th. The contemptible story, circulated during a previous campaign in wards 11 and 14, that Atty. Carpenter was a member of the KU KLUX KLAN, was manufactured for the express purpose of injuring him by turning against him the foreign all the schools of the city. Another group, in the Garfield school district, is backing Mr. Earl Reese to secure an injunction against the Garfield school (in harmony with your editorial). This is the move that should have been made in the first place. Unfortunately so many "Negroes" are in favor of segregation or "jim crow" schools. We have discovered that these people are largely responsible for the most unfortunate local school situation. They play right into the hands of "Negro"-haters and other members of the Ku Klux Klan.

COYLE OPPOSED TO THE KLAN 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 issues. (1) Having been reared by a Christian mother in the state of California where we knew 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 whether he is 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 because it is unfair to human 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. I needless to add I am bitterly allied to the Klan if I am 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 inclosing some of my literature therein. Very sincerely yours, Albert F. Coyle. Adr. THE NAME TRADE PORO MARK A SYMBOL OF QUALITY Your name defines your character and personality and is a symbol of what you are.

The Italians of the city "worked" on Patrolman Jones and Jenkins (members of the race), for nearly a year, because they killed two Italians, in self-defense, while on duty in ward 11.

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. Miller's church. What became of IT? According to Walter L. Brown, of our Independent Voters' League, who says his informant is W. L. Porter, until last week managing editor of the Cleveland Call, published weekly by the Pioneer Pub. Co., dissension broke out in the ranks of the official staff of the publication, last week. Porter claims, so Brown says, Howard Murrell, treasurer of the Pioneer Pub. Co., went to Chicago, recently, and secured the promise of $500 from the "jim crow" headquarters of the Committee. On his return, last week he found that Porter was about to publish, as usual, some independent political matter in their paper. Murrell ordered Porter, so he says, to "ditch" it. Managing Editor Porter objected to this, from Treasurer Murrell, and quit his job "cold." Now, it is said that he and Ormond Forte, former publisher of the long defunct Cleveland Advocate, are negotiating with "Boss" Maschke, head of the local Republican organization, for funds to start another paper. Brethren dwell in harmony even if it IS difficult to get "homemade" individual jobs made such a very poor showing as a candidate against Councilman Tom Fleming, last fall.

Xenia, O, Oct. 14.—A serious outbreak is feared here, today, as the result of an effort to drive William Martin, age 29, farmer and ex-service man, living three miles east of Xenia, out of the community. Four men, dressed in Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods, drove up to the Martin home just before daybreak, Sunday; called him out and ordered him to get out of the community by night. Shortly after this he was called out of his home and shot at by a beating man. A sheriff poses after flaged him in a battle with a man found hiding near the house. Monday night.

"Any woman can have supreme beauty of face, and hair that will give her the proudest delight," she says, "for the simple investment of a very small sum of money in Exelento Skin Beautifier, Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Soap, and a small amount of time each day applying these wonderful preparations as directed on the package."

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? The whites have a large recess—than in any other branch of the pubs. The blacks have a large recess—than in any other branch of the pubs. With many fine appointments for GATED in their rest rooms, toilets, (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 caferia for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they 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 those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. 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, comf o r t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. An unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won an 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. 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 set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries, and recreational facilities; 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 as-secretion employee to directive positions, and higher salaries. 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 in the lobby, 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 are laws 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 lessons necessary to meet by a deal 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 up take the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous sense of segregation is a difficult issue iffgregions 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 young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentheth 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 people here were so profoundly ill, they were so stormy afternoon to the Yale One stormy afternoon to the Yale One to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Summer and Frederick Douglass are 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 18, 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 and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of 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) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon. In the early years of the Civil War, in Louisiana, cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what 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, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand employees and because there 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 ducable to go so far and no 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 toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. The restaurants are forced to endure physical inconvenience 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 city who can take advantage of this "delightful" threat, and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Gyrfield 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 death of the altogether so they remain in a dilemma facing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of the 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 the honestness of virtue 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. AT ITS WORST UNDER COOLIDGE! And Not a Democratic Scheme of Humiliation and Insult The Recent Case of One of Our Girls Who Stood Highest In a Civil Service Examination, Was Telegraphed For and Then Flatly Refused the Position—Ku Klux Klan. (Special to The Gazette.) 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. graph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photo graph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to ap point her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissor 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 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! It is 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- KLAMPAIG KLAMPAIGNING I KEEP KOOL WITH KOOLIDGE KLAMPAIGNING II K OOLIDGE OR K HAOS AND K ALAMITY KOOLIDGE OR HAOS AND ALAMITY WAIT FOR ME BOYS! KEEP KOOLIDGE WITH KOOLIDGE GEORGE HARVEY graph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. 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, as he the specimen Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls 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 much lower standard 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 been a Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. eP WITH GE R A Residential Hotel for People of Refined Taste 250 Large, Light, Clean, Quiet Rooms Rates as low as $1.50 per day and $6.00 per week.
