PINEAPPLE THE GAZETTE --- ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, OHIO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1924 Walter L. Brown Presides-Attorneys Coyle, Byers Boult, Mrs. L. G. Brown and Rev. H. C. Bailey, the Speakers-A Delegation from Painesville It was a band of conscientious, race-loving citizens who gathered around the beautifully decorated tables in the Phillis Wheatley Annex, last week Thursday evening, Oct. 16th, in honor of Atty. Albert E. Coyle, candidate for Congress on the Independent Progressive ticket, in Walter L. Brown the 22nd district. After two verses of "My Country," "Tis of Thee" which, after Nov. 4th, all race-loving people hope we can truly sing, and the blessing by itoy H. C. Bailey, president of our Independent Voters' League, dinner was served. It was a dinner such as only the efficient staff of our W. A. can produce and serve. The master of ceremonies, Walter L. Brown, after explaining the object of the league, introduced Mr. Albert E. Coyle, a native of the sunny clime of California, where a man is not known by his race, creed or color but by his merit. Mr. Coyle in a clear voice, in strong and forceful words declared the time has arrived for every man and woman to think for himself, to end the day of parties which support a few and crush the masses, to place in office a man who will represent all of the people and not a particular class. He further stated that his opponent, Mr. Theodore E. Burton, has had 26 years in which to prove his value to the common people. At each election slxy per cent of his votes have been cast by our people. What have we received in return? Representative positions? No! Defense when injurious measures to our race arose! No! He pledged himself to be a true representative of all the people, all the time, if elected. Such a principle is the only one on which true democracy can stand. "No colored voter who unmindfully votes a straight ticket can be considered a good citizen," said Mr. Coyle. Continuing he said "America does not belong to any one race or creed, or class, but to the people as a whole. It used to be the boast as it ought to 'still be the pride of every patriotic American citizen, that any man, regardless of the accident of birth or color, can become a useful and honored citizen with a right equal to that of any other man to earn. his living honestly in whatever work he feels called upon to do. The colored people of America have not yet found themselves. They have not yet gained that freedom of economic opportunity which it should be the first concern of a democratic government to guarantee to all of its citizens. This economic freedom cannot be won until the leaders of the colored race help educate their people in the essentials of good government. No colored voter can be a good citizen who unmindfully votes a straight party ticket, regardless of whether the men on that ticket are good, bad or indifferent. The economic salvation of the colored people in this country, in my judgment, will come through just such progressive movements as that started by, your Independent Voters' league of this city, whereby the colored people will learn to place in office men of character and integrity, regardless of their party labels and hold them to strict accountability as public servants for the administration of government on the fundamental American basis of equal rights for all, with special fa- vör i for none." Mr. E. A. Byers, chairman of the La Fullette Campaign committee, Cuyahoga County, then explained the basis upon which the campaign was being conducted, the spirit in which men and women, boys and girls, of every race were donating their services to this wonderful movement. Next Mrs. Lena G. Brown, national organizer of the uniform rank of the American Woodmen, spoke in behalf of our women. Citing instance after instance of embarrassment our group must suffer in traveling through the south. She urged every colored woman to first think and then vote, not for a man or a party but for a principle. Only a few years ago, she would have been ashamed to own any other than the Republican party but they had betrayed their trust, an today she stands ready and willing to try something better. Lastly, Atty. Peter F. Boult, secretary of our Independent Voters' league, gave our complete political history, explaining how for lo! these many years the "Negro" had been looking for his second emancipation and now that it is here, he does not seem to realize it fully as he should. Mr. Boult is a very interesting and convincing speaker. ALBERT F. COYLE Rev. H. C. Bailey, in a few remarks, expressed the hope that, the day will soon end when the "Negro" will cease to "sell his vote for a mess of pottage." Long will this gathering be remembered. It was the dawn of a new day. Soon will end the day of the encroachment of the rights of a few upon those of the many. A large delegation of our group from Painesville attended the dinner, headed by Mr. Thomas Martin. Fully 300 persons sat at the tables and thoroly enjoyed not only the appetizing food but also the addresses of the able speakers. As we said, several weeks ago, The Gazette repeats at this time: The chairman of the executive committee of our Independent Voters' league of this city, Walter L. Brown, is a "live-wire". Every one of the league's meetings, as well as this banquet, have been exceptional successes and he is entitled to very much credit for them. Credit is also due his co-workers in the league. All have worked aggressively and harmoniously. CHARGED TO KLANSMEN. Chicago.—Charges of incendiarism against the Ku Klux Klan were made by the Rev. Carl Tanner, pastor, and the 16 trustees of the Greater Bethel A. M. E. church, our largest church in America, which was swept by fire, the night of Oct. 17 with damage estimated at $100,000. The police also heard reports of factional disturbances within the church between rival political clubs, which wanted to use it for meetings. The pastor said numerous threatening letters, signed "K. K. K.", had been received by him and church members. Rev. H. C. Bailey, chairman of our Independent Voters' league, spoke before the State Baptist convention, Friday evening, in Springfield, and on Monday evening to a large number of our group in Akron. He reports our people throut Ohio as going strong for La Follette. CORNELIUS McDOUGALD, ESJ. Tammany Hall Democracy Has Kept Him in Fine Positions For Year—Now Assistant Attorney General of New York State. (Special to The Gazette.) New York City. Two men of the race, residents of this city, hold positions, given them by Tammany Hall Democracy, that net them $18,000 a year. They are Cornelius McDougald, Esq., assistant attorney general of this state, and Feerdnand Q. Morton, Esq., a member of the Civil Service Commission of this city. Atty McDougald receives a salary of $11,000 and Atty. Morton, $7,000. Their combined salaries total more than that of all the positions (two or three) our men hold under the Coolidge administration which can be termed "president at appointments." Coolidge has appointed but ONE and that one is the Hon. Walter L. Cohen, controller of the Cornelius McDougald, Esq. port of New Orleans. Of course, there are many other Afro-Americans holding minor positions in New York City under Tammany Hall, some of them paying as much or more than Mr. Cohen receives. It is not necessary, however, at this time to commute them. What we wish to impress on the readers of The Gazette is accomplished in calling attention to the Mebbledong and Morton appointments, and that is enough. BRUCE-HOWARD DEBATE. The Former Floors the Latter and Perry Weeps "Coolidge" Tears. Washington, D. C.—"The Sage of the Potomac" (a writer) has the following in last week's Washington (D. C. Eagle: "Perry Howard's debut in debate was a debacle. Listeners-in at the Musolit club file this consensus of opinion. Howard has been ordered, by the Republican strategy goad, to keep still, hereafter, and saw wood, register voters where possible, and vote them on election day. But he has had debate in his system for some weeks, and he got a belly full more, Friday night. "Stepping out from the Republican defensive breastworks, Howard challenged Bill Lewis of monumental mental stature, from Boston, to debate with him. Him, instead, sicked Mr. Spellacy's pet, Roscoe Conkling Bruce of Kelso Farm, Md., on to Perry. The twain, being Mississippi, had fed once on the same diet, until Bruce took to breeding biddies in Maryland, and deserted the Republican barnyard for the slough of Democracy's despond. "Howard took ten minutes to open the debate, resting his case on the sheer morits (?) of Republicanism through the centuries. He went back to Genesis and Duteronomy, buried himself in the Mid-Victorian period of Langston. Douglass and the pre-Volstead gang of ex-Registers, ex-Recorders, ex-Senators, exRepresentatives, and ex-Lieutenant Governors. Then, flinging the resurrected skeletons of the past to the breeze, he pointed to their sainted bones preserved in the alco of yester-year, and sobbing, took his seat. "Bruce immediately opened a sharp offensive. It may have been the farm invigoration. It may have been the memory of Cowpens, or say, Bull Run, or Chicamaugua. But whatever it was, Bruce tread more heavily on the gas and his spark plug did more sparking than ever in the balmy days of old. He made slightly better talk than Bill Lewis could have made, for Democracy's sake, and stamped the mob with his intellectual syncope." Mrs. Lena G. Brown, Peter Boult and Walter L. Brown spoke to a large and enthusiastic mass meeting in Painesville, Monday evening, for La Follette and Coyle. They report the unanimous indorsement of Coyle for Congress, of our group in Lake county, and La Follette for Preedent. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS J.A. GLANDER MANHATTAN ROBERT M. LAFOLLETTE 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 heroic 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 indiged 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 OPPOSED TO SEGREGATION AND. THE K. K. K. Washington, D. C., Aug. 12, '24. Mr. Robert P. Scripps. Now York City. Dear Mr. Scripps: Your letter of August 1st received. You ask where I stand on the Ku Klux Klan. Similar inquiries have come to me from others. I take the liberty of making public my answer to you. This will inform all interested in knowing my attitude on this question. I have met it, in various forms, during my public life. Anyone familiar with my record, especially in my own state, knows that I have always stood, without reservation, against any discrimination between races, classes and creeds. I hold that, every citizen is entitled to the full exercise of his constitutional rights. Therefore, I am unalterably opposed to the evident purposes of the secret organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, as disclosed by its public acts. It cannot long survive! Relying upon the sound judgment and good sense of our people, it is my opinion that such a movement is foredoomed. It has within its own body the seeds of its death. Abraham Lincoln, nearly seventy years ago, set forth his views on this question in a letter to his friend, Mr. Joshua F. Speed, dated Springfield, Hl. Aug. 24, 1855: * **You Inquire where I now stand. That is a disputed point. I think I am a Whig; but others say there are no Whigs, and that I am an Abolitionist. "I am not a Know-Nothing; it is certain. How could I be? How- LA FOLLETTE'S STAND ON RACE ISSUES 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 appointe an IN UNION IT IS STRENGTH E COPY FIVE CENTS ium stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. 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 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 SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilers, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, most of them with high ante 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. can any one who abhors the oppression of Negroes be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our 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 Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics'. When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty—to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy. * * * * * "Your friend forever, "A. LINCOLN." With this statement from Abraham Lincoln I would join also a passage, from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to Edward Dowse in 1803: "I never will, by word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance, or admit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others." Upon these statements of Jefferson and Lincoln, expressing the sentiments, which I am happy to believe the vast majority of our citizens cherish and to which they will ever rigidly adhere, and upon my own views expressed in this letter, I am content to stand without qualification or evasion.

Cut this out and pin it in your hat, for reference. Prof. Franz buss, of Columbia university, one of the oldest and ablest educators in the country, con- tinues to insist “that nobody has ‘ever given satisfactory proof of an inherent inequality of races and that the final solution of this problem atill has to be fgund”. This is a tremendously hard blow at the stock-argument of prejudiced whites, particularly those in the South. Long life and more power to Prof. mieeats “President Calvin Coolidge’s rec- ord, of importance to our people, consists almost entirely of his in- sulting and humiliating segrega- tion of our employees in the de- partments at Washington, D. C. and elsewhere in the government aes and his refusal to take din the open against that greatest of all American menaces, the Ku Klux Klan. “‘Hell and Ma- ria” Dawes, his running mate, is an “unknown quantity.” as, ange ‘THE HARRY WILLS- LUIS FIRPO ECHO Canon Wm. 8. Chase admitted, one aay last week, before Federal Com- missioner Hitchcock at a hearing, that hg had made an error in the af fidavit, regarding Luis Angel Fir- po’s entrance into this country for the purpose of fighting Harry Wills, who defeated him in the contest in Jersey City, N. J., a few weeks ago. Chase's affidavit charged Firpo with having come to this country with a woman, as man and wife on the trip referred to. He claims he was so informed and later discovered the information was incorrect. This lat- ter, apparently, after he found {t im- possible to stop the Wills-Firpo fight, by having Firpo arrested and deported on charges based on the affidavit. This all goges to show to what extent prejudiced Americans will go, not only to prevent a@ black man from whipping a white one, but also for the purpose of preventing a ‘Wills-Dempsey match. Great (7) is American prejudice! oa HAS SPENT TO MUL- Z LIONS OF DOLLARS ‘Up to Oct. 10, 1924 (over two weeks ago), the Republican national campaign organization had collect ed and expended $1,714,817. The La Follette Independent Republican organization had collected $190.- 535 and disbursed $155,062. Com- plete figures as,to the operations of the Democratic . national organira- tion were not obtained at the time. but its manager testified under oath, at the opening session of the special campaign fund investigation com- mittee of the U.S. Senate, that his organization had spent $32,500 up to Oct, 10, 1924. The foregoink shows the determination upon the part of the “money power” down East to bring about the election of President Coolfdge, if spending money will do it. We believe that a goodly portion of the near $2,000,- 000 the Republican national cam- paign organization had spent in this campaign, prior to the 10th of this ‘month, was used to promote many ‘so-called yote-polls conducted by various newspapers and magazines, as well as to influence the political attitude of many of them. The question naturally arises, will they @ucceed in bringing about the elec- tion of Coolidge? We believe that this is one of the times when the free use of money will fail to ac- complish the object in view, because too many of the common people have their eyes open and will do their own voting as well as their own think— ing on the 4th of next month. This, too, in the great majority of cases, absolutely independent of the bane- ful influence of money. ATTY. LEWIS FLAYS EDITOR R. L. VANN The correspondence, anent the Coolidge administration's notori- ous mistreatment of our people, be. tween the Hon, Wm. H. Lewis of Boston and Atty. Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, which is being published by some of our newspapers, places the editor in a very embarrassing posifion, es- pecilly in View of the fact that he has accepted, it is said, a $125 a week position in the “jim crow” headquarters of the Republican Na- tionel Committee at New York City. We expected an exhibition of loyalty to our people, during this campaign, trom Editor Vann and not the truck- ling spirit whch 1s characterizing the political course he is pursuing. One of the greatest hindrances to the progress of our people are just such exhibitions. THE COOLIDGE “MONEY-BUND” Did you notice that the leading Democratic papers of the country, one day the first of this week, pub- Ushed a long three column boost of President Coolidge’s candidacy? This shows the power of the down-cast “money-bund” that is backing the Coolidge candidacy and also shows where a goodly portion of the three ilion dollar fund of the National Republican Campaign Committee is going. Never in this country’s his- tory have we had such a brazen ex- hibition from the national campaign committee of either party. It is be- ing openly charged that “Colored” newspapers, who showed independ- ent tendencies, some weeks ago. were paid from three to six hundred dollars a piece to go to the support of the Republican candidate for President and Vice-President. This is a sad commentary upon the race press, even if many of them were greatly in need of the money. ATTY. LEWIS AND LA FOLLETTE ABUSED In a recent speech at Columbus, at a meeting held under the auspices of our Franklin County Women’s Republican club, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of Washington, D. C. president of our National League of Women Voters, is quoted, in a re- ease issued this week by the pub- licity department at the Ohio Re- publican Campaign headquarters in Columbus, as saying, among other things that: “Wm. H. Lewis is-one of the Ne- groes who are leaving the Repub- liean party that were simply serving for what they could get out of it. It’s a case of ‘something gone, but nothing missing’. They were not only liabilities to the party but to their own race. They are peanut politicians”: ‘The foregoing is so untrue and so silly, as every one knows, that we find it difficult to believe that Miss Burroughs ever gave utterance to any such political rot. Wm. H. Lewis, Ferdinand Q. Morton, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Atty. E. H. Henry of Philadelphia and thousands upon thousands of other “Negroes” thru-- out the country, “who are leaving the Republican party", for this cam- paign at least, are well-known living examples of the ridiculousness of Miss Burroughs’ \statement. The same publicity source issued a re- lease, this week, in which it claims: “Mrs. Thomas W. Fleming, state chairman of Colored women’s com- mittee, Republican state hefdquar- ters, Columbus, speaking at a series of group meetings in Franklin Coun- ty, implored all Colored women not to’ desert the Republican ranks for the Democratic party or third party, headed by an ungrateful renegade like La Folletto’.”” Some one should inform the two ladies mentioned and others, male as well as female, who may need it, that abuse {s not argument even in politics; also that they are not help- ing their very weak cause, in the least, by making such unfortunate, foolish and UNTRUE statements. No one but a woman would dare to re- fer to Senator Robert M. La Follette as a “rendgade.” VOTE FOR JUDGE JAMES B. RUHL About two years ago, Atty. James B. Ruhl was appointed a judge of the common pleas court of €uya- hoga county and all agree that he has made one of the best jurists ever to sit on that bench. Recently, he was elected grand master of masons of Onio, an honor that all strong members of that distinguished order im Ohio aspire to. Judge Ruhl is an old and highly esteemed citizen of Cleveland, a broad-minded man who is far above petty race and re- ligious prejudices.

"SOME WILD OATS" Coming to the Popular Globe Theater—Wonderful Photoplay Picture—Children Barred. Men and women together will not be admitted to see the motion picture "Some Wild Oats" which is coming to the Globe Theatre, on Monday, Oct. 27. The reason for separate shows is due to the delicate subject and scenes which are frank and do not hesitate in calling "a spade a spade". It tells everything and shows everything. Yet it is done so well that it does not lend its auditory arrangements have been made for special shows and reels for women only and special shows and reels for men only. No children under sixteen years of age will be admitted. "Some Wild Oats" is a film that should be seen by everybody. It is a film that bares the dangers and snares that beset young men and young women who stand on the threshold of life, with everything to learn and no experience to guide them. The picture has a tremendous appeal to women. As Dr. Fronczak, Commissioner of Health of Buffalo, said at the private showing of the film, "Not only should you be careful to avoid the picture, but every mother in the city as well, should bring her daughter. I have never seen a film which bared the dangers of sex indulgence in so offensive and so comprehensive a way." The picture deals with the terrible results of immorality, but the story is told so vividly and is so well acted that it becomes one of the most interesting screen pictures ever seen. William Jefferson, a son of the late Joe Jefferson, has the leading part, and he is supported by a company of unusual excellence. It relates the adventures of a country in a great city to a young man, another young man, who has become tainted by immorality, takes him in hand and shows him the danger that follows association with people of the underworld. He is saved, but not until he has had plenty of experience in the dance halls, the cheaper cabarets and other resorts of questionable character. Never before in the history of motion pictures has a film caused as great interest and sensation in Chicago as "Some Wild Oats" where it was shown for four months at the Barbee Loop Theatre, breaking a record. This photoplay has had similar success in Milwaukee, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha. In each of these cities it was endorsed by the local officials.

GRACE GRAY DE LONG Miami, Florida 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 we 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 U. 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 publication 1922. 1922 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. FRANK G. 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 raised 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 thoroly believes in civil, political and religious liberty. We believe that Mr. Carpenter is the type of man that will make a good judge and give a public good efficient, responsible. Remmert name, FRANK G. CARPENTER, for the term ending Feb. 8, 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 12, particularly, that Atty.

Segregation How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferla 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 the government taking their taxes, it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they 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 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 through their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes with him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests of quickness and accuracy in handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends many 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 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. There is a large number in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables out-of-the-way furnished 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. Night after night a accident a fire broke out in 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 one of the employees are taught that there is no way of escaping for them to dares to reside 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 questions only to meet 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 affair. If the government is so well suited upon it, and the complainants cannot hear witness to it. (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 are the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blain from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there are and branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotion is ability 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 toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republeanan Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield ap- pared the Blacks in 1865, have been by a white man, and the cows THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1924 ored people are congregated in a separa- rate room which is publicly procla- maled 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 segregation in the abolition of the division altogether so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept 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 segrega- tion, which can condemn that lawless organiza- tion like Klan. If he wants the votes, in Nov- ember, of loyal Afro-Americans, male and female, through the length and breadth of this country, these are two things he will have to do. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than ever before, since the Civil War. The beginning 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 Wilhelm doubled, but the present administrator doubled time and desire to introduce it. 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 1870, restricting white male people, and black to black, often to African-American 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. Negroes are 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 which must accompany their papers, is less important on 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 there, as he is the special officer of the President Coolidge. He halls 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 disadvantage 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 Constitution, and found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. Bert Williams Called it "Glue." A humorous phase of the campaign is the chameleon attitude of many of our editor-politicians. It is only a few weeks ago that they were publicly criticising the Republican party and the administration at Washington, both verbally and in their editorial columns. Suddenly they undego a decided change of heart and their profuse praise of the administration is in striking contrast to their previous words of condemnation and criticism. The question is going the rounds. "What has suddenly brought this change of heart about?"—N. Y. Tattler. Senator La Follette, progressive candidate for President, is a Republican. Remember that and tell your friends. 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.

It is named for a Minneapolis lad of the race, who was killed in action. The officers are: Louis C. Valle, commander; Martin Brown, first-vice-com; C. M. Fassett, second; P. J. Bufort, adj.; Harold C. Conubin, fin, officer; Jas. H. Key, sergt-arms; Webster E. Stoval, historian and Horace F. Daniels, chaplain. Senator Robert M. La Follette came, saw and seems to have conquered the world. He conquered the longing condemnation of the shortcomings and failures of the two old parties, he surely appeared to be in his best fighting regalia, and carried conviction to the minds of many of the hearers, before his speech were undecided—St. Peter's A. M. E. church quarterly meeting was well attended, Sunday, Rev. Stoval, P. E., preached an able sermon. Dr. Boyd is a live and instructive pastor and the church naturally proclaimed the truth of the truth in their efforts for the race, without hypocrisy or political chicanery, and will teach sincerity and truthfulness by precepts and daily examples in every act, public and private, then and only then, may we hope for real substantial progress of the race.
