C.—The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Registrar of the University of Arkansas, Speckman is an Ohio Republican, who has a lot of southern "crackers" in his office and who apparently falls for about every fool-prejudice suggestion they make, and then tries to justify or excuse them. The following is from the Washington (D. C.) Daily Post of Nov. 12, '24: Tablet To Heroes Stirs Strife. Vociferous protest by colored employees of the office of the register of the Treasury against what they declared to be discrimination shown two of their number who died in the world war service, yesterday resulted in the elimination of what was to be a feature of American day celebration. Employees have been informed that part of the ceremony would be the dedication of a memorial tablet to the five members of the office personnel who died.

Two of the names were to be those of colored soldiers. When employees came to work, yesterday, they found on a wall what appeared to be two tablets, about 2½ by 2 feet in size, and covered with manila paper. One tablet had the names of the three white soldiers and the other the names of two black soldiers. (Coolidge K. K. K. segregation.) The colored employees named a committee to call upon Harley V. Speelman, register. Wm. H. Davis is said to have been voiciferous in his protest. Mr. Speelman, according to several in the colored delegation, told them he would have another collection taken up for a new tablet. The celebration, which was proposed, been held in the hall, was then held outside the building, and a scroll containing the five names was exhibited at noon." FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERED Writ of Mandamus Issued Com- manding Registrar to Register Disfranchised Voters And Election Officials to Allow Them to Vote. Tulsa, Okla.—Just before the recent election, Judge F. E. Kennamer issued a writ of mandamus, ordering the registrar of Okfuskee County to register approximately 550 Afro-American voters and ordering election officials to permit them to vote as though they had registered prior to the expiration of the statutory limit. Earlier in the day Judge Kennamer had granted a waiving of a 1,100 voters, most of them Afro-Americans in Carter County. Previously, the judge had ordered a federal grand jury investigation into the illegal refusal of certain Oklahoma registrars to permit our voters to register for the general election. In making the announcement of the investigation Judge Kennamer declared, "there is a conspiracy in the state capital and the state election board to deny the right of voting to the right to vote to any citizen or color." He further asserted that the power of the U. S. Government will be invoked to see that some one goes to the penitentiary for denying the right to vote to any citizen or class of citizens," and charged that "in some precincts" registrars go around and find only those voters to register whom they know will vote the way they want them to. He also charged that an Afro-American had virtually no chance to get his suicide gate through and into the State capital. It was relative to these cases that the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, and others, recently wired U. S. A. Atty. Gen. Stone at the request of Editor Twine of the Muskegee Cimeter. Wants An Appointment Washington, D. C.-Dr. W. S. Scarborough, former president of Wilberforce university, and under President Harding connected with the department of agriculture, was in the city, recently, and called on President Coolidge and members of the Ohio congressional delegation still in the city.

St. Louis, Mo.—The Post Dispatch (daily) recently printed a lengthy front page article, with her picture, calling attention to the fact that Mrs. Annie M. Turnbo Malone of Poro College, this city, "paid a Federal income tax of $38,408 for 1923, placing her among the top-notchers in the eastern Missouri district"; that Poro college represents an investment of $750,000, with 75,000 agents scattered throughout the country; that it now has a complete system of beauty culture, and makes certain medicinal preparations used in connection with chiropody and various baths; that Mr. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone employ about 175 persons, and work about 1,000 agents in the use of their preparations; that Poro college has an auditorium, a cafeteria, a bake shop, beauty parlors, hospital facilities, etc., all modern. Mrs. Annie M. Malone Mr. and Mrs. Malone are rated as being worth a million dollars, and they are real philanthropists, having given liberally to our educational institutions, churches, orphans, Y. M. C. A.s, and other racial organizations. They gave $20,000 to the Y. M. C. A.s, and a $10,000 building site, in addition to thousands of dollars, to the building fund of our local orphans' home, one of the most complete and modern in the country; they gave $10,000 to the medical department of Howard university, in addition to contributions to Tuskegee N. & L. school, Wilberforce University, and our other schools.

Fairmont, W. Va.—Forced to lure an Afro-American, with whom she had an engagement, to a field where armed kluxers awaited and shot him, was the admission made in court here by Mrs. Olive Brown, a defendant in cases growing out of an assault upon Daniel Washington by 16 white brutes, all said to be members of the ku klux klan. She testified for the government in the case of J. A. Landis, one of the deceased, who was sold to a witness stand, said her husband had intercepted a letter from Washington in which plans were made for a meeting. Landis told her, she testified, to meet Washington, take him to a field near the road and then "knee down when the shooting started" so she would not get hit. Washington testified that he had met Mrs. Brown while working with her a restroom and robed cowards who shot him, dragged him to a swamp and left him. The woman's husband stated he was a kluxer and that he had turned Washington's letter over to Guy Utterback, exalted cyclops. At a subsequent meeting of the women, he made to spirit Washington out of the city. Following the shooting, the court was told by Brown that Rev. O. E. Jones, a klan official, obtained a marriage license, filled it out in the name of Mr. and O. E. Roberts, gave it to the Brown and sent them to St. Louis. According to a story in a Philadelphia morning paper, recently, a special sport writer of this city admitted that even though he figured "Tiger" Flowers had won over Harry Grub in their fight, at Freeway some time ago, he gave Grub the fight because Flowers was too "cocky". SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Fraudulent Voting In Cleveland To Be Exposed The Assistance of the National House of Representatives and the Ohio Asssembly to be Invoked— Certainly Is High Time It Was Done. That the election result in the 22nd Congressional District will be protested to the House of Representatives on the ground of "gross and repeated election frauds" was announced, last week, by Robert M. Campbell, campaign manager for Albert F. Coyle, Progressive opponent of Congressman Theodore E. Burton. "We have proof", Campbell said, "that a large number of precincts where votes were cast for Mr. Coyle, the election judges gave the Progressive candidate a zero, has managed to produce that Coyle has dozens of workers and friends, he was given less than a half dozen votes, while his opponent was credited with all or almost all of the votes in the precinct. For the sake of good government, we are going to demand a housecleaning that will stop the wholesale theft of votes in this city. We intend to carry our case to Washington and produce before a Congressional investigation committee a mass of sworn evidence showing that Coyle was robbed of thousands of votes by corrupt election officials, presumably acting under orders of their party bosses. By the Ohio Supreme Court denied us the essential protection of watchers at the polls, and thus opened the door for the worst orgy of election frauds ever seen in this city." Appealing to the civic conscience of the citizens of Cleveland, Mr. Coyle asked the aid of men and women of all parties in reporting to his campaign headquarters, 17th floor, 308 Euclid Ave. bldg., or telephoning to Main 6735 any information they possess regarding false or fraudulent election returns, especially in the 22nd congressional district. "What Ohio and Cleveland need is an overhauling of our entire election machinery to insure clean and honest elections," Mr. Coyle declared. "The evidence we have so far secured indicates that thousands of votes cast not only for me but also for other candidates have been switched to opponents or thrown to the opposing party, the power given corrupt election officials by the use of paper ballots and soft lead pencils. We cannot expect to elect good public officials until we secure a clean ballot law in Ohio and the use of crook-proof voting machines in our larger cities. I am not contesting Mr. Burton's alleged election because of mere partisanship," Mr. Coyle stated, "but because a fundamental issue of public morality is at stake. In a democracy the power to vote is comparable than the perversion of the variegated ballot box. Such a crime nullifies government by the majority, and robs the people of confidence in the integrity of their government. We propose to uncover election, frauds in this city and some neighboring communities that will astound decent citizens of all parties, and cause them to unite in a nonpartisan demand for clean and honest election machinery in this state. These kinds of grass and brazen that we should be fighting a mere duty if we did not endanger to their punishment and prevent their recurrence. For that reason I shall contest Mr. Burton's alleged election before the United States House of Representatives, and ask for federal prosecution of the guilty election officials." Open Letter to Ex-Candidate for Congress, Albert F. Coyle. Mr. Albert F. Coyle, 806 Engineers Bldg. City. Dear Sir: Three years ago, this month, I defeated Councilman Tom Fleming in ward 11 by over seventen hundred votes, but was not returned a victor by the board of elections. Twenty-six hundred votes, that were cast on that election day, disappeared. More than eight thousand votes were registered and cast in that fall, but apparently only fifty-four hundred reached the board of elections. In addition to this, about two hundred illegal votes were cast by persons living in adjoining wards, at least three of this number living far east in Central Ave. as E 61st St. Our workers and voters observed and made affidavits telling of a number of illegal methods that were used to help re-elect Mayor Fitzgerald and "re-elect" Councilman Tom Fleming. Some of these were in use in the booths as early as 6:10 a.m., prior to the opening of the polls. The dirty work in and out of the booths is done during the day. That is why challengers are kept out of the booths. Three years ago, Judge IN UNION IS STRENGTH COPY FIVE CENTS NESS ERED AT LAST ing In Cleve- e Exposed Normal House of Representatives ably to be Invoked— Time It Was Done. Levine mandamused the board of elections, requiring that august body to admit our challengers to the booths in ward 11. Judge Levine's mandamus was ignored, and for a second time that election day our ALBERT F. COYLE challengers were barred from booths in that ward. Judge Levine did not punish the members of the board of elections for contempt of court. That illegal election methods are used in wards 8, 11, 12, 17 and other wards of the city is well-known to the political workers of both parties in those and other wards of the city. It is no secret, and there will be no change for the better until the board of elections is made absolutely independent of the influence of political committees or or- ganizations, and is placed in a posi- tion to secure to the people honest elections, which are and have been for about six years but a joke with the political workers in the wards mentioned and others of this city. For three years, I have tried to make persons in a position to do something, help to wipe out this deplorable conditions of affairs political, but thus far all my efforts seem to have been in vain. It seems impossible to make people believe that the conditions referred to are as rotten as they are. Trusting your effort will at least serve to open your eyes to the urgent need of im- mediate action, I am. Yours respectfully, Harry C. Smith. Nov. 10, 1924. How Many Dead Men Voted? Cleveland, Nov. 14, '24. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith.—I am profoundly grateful to you for your promise of support in my endeavor to bring the election thieves in this city to the bar of justice. My friend, Mr. Robert Campbell, will call you within a day to two to ask your help in assuring the registered voters in the 11th ward to ascertain how many votes were stolen from me there. I should also like to know how many dead men and persons no longer resident in that ward were voted in the recent election. My district also includes precincts A, B and C in the 17th ward, and several sections in the 19th where conditions are not much better than in the 11th. I intend to carry this contest to Washington, and uncover the corruption existing in our whole election machinery. Then perhaps we can get the citizens of Cleveland and other cities sufficiently aroused to secure a clean ballot law at the coming session of the legislature, and provide crook-proof voting materials for our armed forces if we need your aid in this fight for clean government, and also shall also use the evidence of election frauds collected by you when the time comes for the hearing before the Elections Committee of the House of Representatives. It will be corroborative evidence of strong value. Scientists Not Always Right. Science says that complete assimilation of blood from another race is impossible because the three chief strains of the human race, white, yellow and black, started from three different animal ancestors: whites from the orang-outang, African from from the orang-otang, African from the gorilla, most powerful of all.

Some of our "Coolidge" newspapers and the N. A. A. C. P. secretary are giving entirely too much publicity to the resignation from that organization of Dr. George G. Cannon of Jersey City, N. J. It is just what the doctor wanted—a "grand stand political play" in connection with his resignation. --- The New York supreme court has upheld that state's anti-klan law which compels the listing for public inspection of all kluxes in that state. Ohio needs a similar law. --- On the 24th of this month, 50,000 acres of valuable plantations in the former German colony of Kamerun, in western Africa, will be auctioned off. Germans may buy them; Afro-Americans ought to . "Emperor Jones", "All God's Chillun" and "White Cargo", the last of which is being shown in England, are three of the worst prejudice-breeding plays to ever have been foisted upon a long suffering public in this country and abroad. Strange that some of our people fail to see this. --- President Coolidge's reply, to Dr. Emmett J. Scott's recent letter of congratulations on his election, which the President's Virginia "lily-white" secretary, C. Bascomb Slemp, wrote, is about all our people will get from the Chief Executive of this nation. Mark our prediction! --- Since election, Secretary C. Bascomb Slemp has been very busy writing replies to Afro-Americans who sent letters of congratulation to President Coolidge on his election. This is about all the "friendly gesture" ("political sop") our people will get from the Coolidge administration, too. --- A number of our contemporaries are asking, "will Coolidge and the Republican party deliver", having reference to the proper treatment of our peole in the matter of appointments, etc. They KNOW that neither Coolidge nor the party will do so, and we are judging the future by the past and present, when we say this. --- Gov. A. V. Donahey was right when he said, last year in a speech, that the primary elections of both parties in Ohio "were rotten to the core". This is also too largely true in the case of the general elections particularly in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus and Dayton where Republican and Democratic organizations control the boards of elections, etc. --- Secretary C. Bascomb Slemp's E. Edwin Bolte ouster suit, against Comptroller Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, was dismissed in the U. S. court there, last week. Thus ended the biggest political canard of the recent campaign. It was started for the purpose of scaring back into the Republican ranks Afro-Americans who had strayed off the reservation. The announcement of the institution of the suit heralded Bolte's alleged intention to deprive Afro-Americans of the ballot on the ground that they were not American citizens. There is no group of people in this community who know better the great value of the Cleveland Community Fund than ours.

In addition to these, our people are granted equal opportunities in many of the other organizations receiving aid from this fund. ATTORNEY MATTHEWS" "CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM" Wm. C. Matthews of Boston, head of the "jim-erow" department of the Republican campaign committee, has outlined "a constructive program of procedure, dedicated to the civic and political improvement of 13,000,000 Afro-American," which he has submitted to President Calvin Coolidge "for his consideration and approval." Among the things asked are: Representation in the diplomatic corps, the establishment of a staple representative government in the Virgin Islands by act of Congress, the appointment of an undersecretary of state, the appointment of a civil service commissioner, and an assistant postmaster general, restoration to the race of the office of registrar of the treasury, appointment of a minister to Haiti, a consul general to Port au Prince, and an assistant U. S. attorney general, representation upon the railroad board of review, farm-credit bureau and in the department of commerce, recognition of our women in the public service, West Point and Annapolis appointments, appointments in the veterans bureau, regional districts and in the educational department, the 92d and 93d divisions be reallocated as combat divisions, abolition of segregation in the government service, approval of the Liberian loan and legislation against the crime of lynch murder. We give Mr. Matthews credit for this evidence of sincerity upon his part, altho we are frank to say that the outlook, for President Coolidge's granting any one of the seventeen requests incorporated in his constructive program, is anything but encouraging. During his one year in the office, the President has shown absolutely no disposition to accord our people any consideration whatever, outside of the re-appointment of Comptroller Cohen of New Orleans, first appointed by President Warren G. Harding. To our way of thinking, the first thing that the President should do is to abolish the insulting and harmful segregation of our employees in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service. Will he do it? We shall see. BEATRICE'S DAD "DARK!" And From the West Indies—Secret Wedding of Rhinelander Stirs Comment—Bride Denies Negroid Ancestry. New Rochelle, N. Y.—Leonard Kip Rhinelander, sion of a venerable family whose holdings in the metropolitan area are worth $100,000,000, and his bride of a month dung to their happiness, last Friday, in the face of a barrage of questions in the modest home of the bride's parents behind a cold drink stand in Pelham Rd., New Rochelle, young Rhinelander, twenty-one years old last June, when he came into an inheritance of $336,127, was troubled by the storm of attention given his secret marriage to Beatrice O'Connor of 14 Haitian was in tears as she returned indignant replies to questions as to her parents' ancestry. "There is not a bit of Negro blood in our veins," she declared. "I can't help it that dad is dark," she sobered. "And he can't help it. There is no reason for anyone to say that he is colored just on that account We're going away. We won't stay in a place where things like that are available." According to the marriage license the bride is "twenty-three, white, the daughter of George and Elizabeth Jones." The father was born in Leicestershire, England, according to the record, and the mother in Lincolnshire. The girl said her father had lived in the West Indies for a time. He is "Colored," it is now announced by the newspapers. The Thinlander family is one of the most famous cities, William Cope and Rhinelander, an uncle of the gridroom, was cut off with an income of $5,000 a year because he married a servant girl in the Rhineland home.

Ill.—Corinne Gillespie and her husband, together with Anthony Autiso, white, were placed under arrest, Sunday, when Officers Graham and Thomas invaded an apartment at 2814 La Stelle St., and found Anthony performing an unnatural act upon Corinne while her husband calmly looked on. The officers told Judge Padden of the Mourt Court that he had followed the girl and white man for some time because of their suspicious actions. According to one of the officers, Autiso got on his knees and begged them not to press the charge against him as he was a married man and was well-to-do in his neighborhood. When asked why he did such a thing Autiso could only murmur that he didn't know and that he was sorry that it had happened. Corinne was sent to Lawdale. Her husband and Autiso were discharged. ONE LYNCH-MURDERED! Lake City, Fla.-Four young white kluxers in jail) last Friday, charged with being members of a gang of masked brutes that killed W. L. Shaw, wealthy Afro-American timber man, and have beaten into insensibility. Pries Williams, Afro-American hotel proprietor and a land-owner in this section.

MODERN GYPSIES ABOVE CLOUDS Ply Their Trade Far Above Crowds On Earth ADVENTUROUS LIFE Load Roving and Adventurous Life —Travel All Over Country in search of Passengers Whom They Take Up for Rate of 50 Cents a Minute. NEW YORK — The mahogany- skinned, gilt-ringed, familiar gypsy of childhood who haunted small country fairs to tell fortunes or swindle the guilless farmer with spawning horse has all but disappeared. But he has left his name behind for descriptive use. There is the gypsy flier, knight of the air and horse who, in his restless activity and adventurous calling, typifies the better qualities of the "wandering people." These aviators may be found in considerable numbers at camps along the Jericho Turnpike, Jerusalem Avenue, Hempstead Boulevard and the Merrick Road as far out as Patchogu, and at other points on Long Island. With their machines parked along the highway, they are ready to take up casual visitors to almost any height above the clouds for the trifling sum of $5 for a ten minute hike. The average minute is cheap enough, considering the thrills imparted by a first experience in hopping off the ground. Pilots engaged in this business came to be known as "gypspies" because of the popular belief in their unsettled life—here today and gone tomorrow—and because of the hardship that shattered slang label to anything new or unusual. For business purposes the men themselves prefer to be known as "commercial filers," but in the confidence of camp or hangar they call themselves "barnstormers." And a brave, healthy, fine-looking lot of men in new vocation, every last one of them, believes he is blazing the way for an infant industry. He fondly hopes for the day when every city of any size will have public landing places, with through and regular service by air between communities from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They do not approve of the appellation "gypsy" because it connotes carelessness and irresponsibility, which is far from descriptive of their business. They declare that they are trying, above all things, to overcome the popular belief that danger lurks in a trip through the air. Once the average sidewalk and highway citizen is convinced that flight into and above the clouds is as safe as a trip by railway—far more so than a road, than a ride at thirty miles an hour in a automobile—they look for a considerable increase in flying for both recreational and commercial purposes. "Risk? Nonsense," declared Russell Halderman, a commercial filer who keeps his machine at Rockaway Boulevard, Jamicafe. "In seven years at this business, taking up thousands of persons who had never before been on a plane, I have never had an accident. Flying is just about ten times as safe. I should say, as automobiling "It's only when there has been an accident or some stunt flight that the public hears about flying. Nothing is ever said or printed about the thousands of times persons go up and come down safely. Of course, I realize there is no 'news' in safety; that it is only the unusual or the unexpected that attracts attention. But this advertising of accidents, with no word of the flights made in safety, is one of the things that put back the more general use of the past by the public when we will have scheduled service by airplanes between the big office." L GEESE E MY'S Refuses Gibbons Bout as Result of Injury Received Against Firpo. New York, Nov. 18.—A sprained thumb, suffered in the first round of his match with Luis Alcarpir at Boyles Thirty Acres in Jersey City, Sept. 11, was the only thing which prevented Harry Wills from knocking out the Argentine, Wills sald today. Exhibiting a badly swollen thumb joint on his left hand, Wills today appeared before the state athletic commission in answer to a summons requesting his presence to confer on a possible match with Tommy Gibbons, the St. Paul phantom. Wills declined the match because of his bad thumb and gave this as a reason why "he allowed Firpo to go twelve rounds." He said in the first round he jabbed with his left hand and in so doing sprained the member and rendered it unfit for use during the remainder of the match. This, he explained, was why he fought the battle with his right hand. Gibbons-Nortolk New York, Nov. 18. — The state athletic commission, today placed its official stamp of approval on the Tom Gibbons-Kid Norfolk fifteen-round match at Madison Square Garden, Tuesday, Dec. 9, after every available heavyweight outside of Jack Dempsey was considered as an opponent.

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., 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 100 black workers in this city (40), 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 black institution by the Republicans, and carried on to its all-cmbracing 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 photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously opposed to our Republican President. Only last week, a girl appeared after she 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 President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina, the home of the other feather, 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 ideas on his desk and 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 Kievux Kievux home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice position 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 those of the white clerks the comfort of their work and setting them off as though they were lepers. The clerks will stalk 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 attempted in the toilet, and all of this is the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very pres- ence of the colored, to attend a 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 and told the clerks to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes white over him one letter, though much more one letter, and the colored employees have won contests 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 set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are no employees in the 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, the law of segregation passes 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 work fell the injustice this exclusion of him so boldly 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 dismisses him. He is a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident 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 falling 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 such he was immediately disliked. Our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of those who were informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1924 that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this inquisitive scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government will settled upon it, and the complainants cannot hear witness to it. (Special to The 4 Washington, D.C. *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. Kennedy, the White House, a member of his family, the bureau where she saw white and 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 man of angelic tenderness" ored people to stay in the place. "Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed!" Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Oswald was 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 ait together. 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 are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SOGREF the teachers that they work as teachers 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 students to our 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 abdication of the day, Alexander Hamilton, since the days he was remembered that the great Hamilion came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what 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 clerks, there that Negroes are so scarce that they are unable to find them. 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 no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toileters, 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 and travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, marmignant 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 people who take advantage of this "delightful" environment 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!

O. Box 1028, Atlanta, Ga. ERUNA TON claimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to the "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation will result in the abolition of the division altogether; they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, the clerk can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. HE had neglected his teeth so long that he was actually ashamed to visit his dentist. And like so many people, he kept putting it off. He became so sensitive about their appearance that in conversation he habitually distorted his mouth in an effort to hide them from view. A reasonable effort on his own part—consulting his dentist, consulting the right dentinite—might have saved him this humiliation. But he even neglected these things. He was uncomfortable wherever he went. Listerine Tooth Paste cleans teeth a new way. At last our chemists have discovered a way to outretch the enamel—a difficult problem finally solved.
