S. Attorney General "Tops" Them all" As a Speaker. (From Providence, R. L., News.) During the recent political campaign Providence was visited by many able and eloquent speakers—Democratic, Republican, Third Party, Farmer-Labor. We had the privilege and pleasure of listening to most of them. William H. Lewis, the Negro leader, rose to a height of oratory in his Elks hall address on Monday evening of this week, such as has been attained by few men who have come within the range of our experience. We have heard the eloquent Vance of North Carolina. We have a faint remembrance, being a boy at the time, of the "Plumed Knight", James G. Blaine. We have been thrilled by the "firecating" Benjamin R. Tillman and the scholarly John.Sharp Williams and the learned constitutional lawyer, Senator Wm. E. Borah of Idaho. We have been inspired by the silver tongue of Augustus Thomas, the playwright, one of the few men in our time whose clear, ringing words could be heard, in the farthermost corners of the vast Madison Square Garden, seating 12,000 persons. Lewis Stuyvesant-Chanler, ex-Lieutenant Governor of New York, with his great booming voice, is a splendid speaker; Joe King, of Alabama, at one time a Representative in Congress, had marvelous fluency, "that pure and magnificent diction such as flowed from the lips of Socrates, and which Olecro declared Jupiter, would use if Jupiter spoke Greek." And many more. Fourth Estate "victims", in the course of their daily toll, see the best of them in action. Looking back over many years, we THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK Hon. William H. Lewis. can recall no speech, that we consider the superior of William H. Lewis' matchless oration at Elks hall, this week, before an audience that crowded the aisles and overflowed into the corridor. For more than an hour and thirty minutes he held his hearers spellbound with his mighty appeal to the colored people of the nation. to "quit playing the sucker, any longer to the Republican party," and urging them to join with Democracy as their only hope of political emancipation. "When the shackles fell from my body, they fell from my mind and soul, and I claim the right as any other man does to vote for any party," shouted Lewis. "We have been slaves of the Republican party. Toombs once said, 'The slave I pity; the rebellious slave I respect.' I say here and now, they don't climb into power again on my back and leave me on the outside. I am turning away, from the traditions of a lifetime." continued Mr. Lewis. I have set myself to the task of abolishing the color line from American politics. I want to see the day come when no man can tell another's political creed by the color of his skin. I may not succeed, but it is worth the effort, and if I go down to defeat I will go down fighting. When the All-Wise One sees fit in His infinite mercy to terminate my earthly existence and I find myself looking into the Deep. I desire no more fitting epitaph than I sought the right as I understand the right. The Democratic party has made us see that it wants the colored people, and I believe it does. If you say you will give us representation according to the votes we deliver we will stand by you and make you the greatest American party. The Republican Party has no sympathy for or understanding of the black people. Our only hope is with the Democratic Party. We are with you, that is, those who are following me in this great movement, because we feel we must be with you. Where else in God's name can we go?" There is not space here, as we would like to have the space, to quote Mr. Lewis in full. His closing sentences, as we caught them—the former Assistant U. S. Attorney General spoke extemporaneously—have burned deep into our memory: "I am looking through the gateway of tomorrow down the broad highway of time. I want to see my children and my grandchildren marching with all the children of the nation, going up and not down. EVERY MEMBER A WORKER CLEVELAND PORO CLUB DEC. 1924 CLEVELAND'S PORO COLLEGE AGENTS IN SESSION, MONDAY EVENING, AT ST. PAUL'S ZION A. M. E. CHURCH. Prof. Auron E. Malone and Mrs. Annie M. Malone, heads of that great Poro College Beauty Culture business, St. Louis, Mo., came to Cleveland, the first of the week, accompanied by four of their expert assistants, and simply started all Afro-American Cleveland, at least, by the wonderful showing, they made in their local agents' meeting at St. Paul Zion A. M. E. church, on Monday evening, and at their exception- with the greatest democratic nation that the Almighty has yet vouch-safed to man. A grave responsibility rests upon us all. As we love our God and believe that religion should be free; as we love humanity and believe that all men are free and equal and entitled to the right of life, liberty and happiness; as we believe in one government for all and not for a privileged few, we have got to stand together for our common good, the salvation of the common people and for the common interests." THOMAS RE-ELECTED! Member Board of Directors, N. A. A. C. P.—The Organization is to Be Congratulated—Former Cleveland. Washington, D. C.—At the recent meeting of the entire official staff of the N. A. A. C. P., held at its headquarters, 70 Fifth Ave., N. Y. City, Prof. Neval H. Thomas, a teacher in the Dunbar High school, this city, was elected a member of the national board of directors, this being his third consecutive term, Prof. Thomas, a former resident of Cleveland. Prof. Neval H. Thomas. O. was one of the principal founders of the local branch of the association, twelve years ago, and has served here in an official capacity ever since. For the past fifteen years he has been foremost in contending for equal school appropriations in the District, appearing before the House and Senate committees for this purpose a number of times. At the recent meeting the national body expressed its thanks for his faithful service. This is Not True. After President Harding's election, he summoned Mr. Charles Cottrill to Washington and tendered him a re-appointment as collector of internal revenue at Honolulu, which was declined. President Harding then planned to make Cottrill a deputy U. S. commissioner of internal revenue, but the appointment never materialized—Pittsburgh Courrier. ally interesting Poro agents' graduation exercises in Trjedstone Baptist church, on Wednesday evening. Our people of this city have not only been astonished but greatly pleased with the splendid business showing, prime evidence of thoro organization and the simply wonderful strides of Poro beauty culture in Cleveland, in the last year or two. Even more pleased have been hundreds of our people of this community who had BOTH GO TO COURT. Rhinelander Sues For a Divorce and Mrs. R. for $500,000 Damages Mrs. R. for $500,000 Damages New Rochelle, N. Y.—Leonard (Kip) Rhinelander, son of one of New York's oldest and wealthiest families, who married Miss Alice Jones of New Rochelle on Oct. 14, filed suit in the Westchester county supreme court to annul the marriage, last week Wednesday, "Kip" alleged that his wife concealed from him the fact that she had "Negro" blood in her veins. The papers were supported by an affidavit made by Rhinelander before a Kings county notary public. Mrs. Alice Beatrice Jones Rhinelander will counter her millionaire husband's suit for annulment of their marriage by a $500,000 action against the young bride-groom's father for alienation of affection's her attorney, is City Judge Swinburne. The bride continues to maintain that he had been forced by his family to leave her against his own wishes. Judge Swinburne said that he was investigating the antecedents of the Jones family, and had already discovered that the bride's father, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather were born in England. He expects to show that the great-great-grandfather came from India, and not from the West Indies. In this event, it was pointed out, the Jones family would be members of the Aryan race. "We shall also base our case," the judge added, "on the contention that young Mr. Rhinelander had associated with his present wife for more than a year before the marriage and was thoroughly familiar with her surroundings, her antecedents and circumstances; knew her father and her sister and also knew exactly what he was doing." In this connection a mass of love letters and telegrams, written by "Kip" when he was in California more than a year ago, will be offered in evidence. Fined $5,000 For Marrying. Jackson, Ky.—The grand jury here indicted two white women and two colored men, recently, because they married. There is a law in this state that prohibits inter-marriage, and the two couples were fined $5000 each for the violation of this law. The defendants remained in jail, because they were unable to get the $5000 fine together. If they have to serve time for it they will be forced to remain behind the bars for 13 years. They are Nancy Burnham, age 22, with Leondas Carter, 22, and Stella Robinson, 35, with Calloway Crawford, 35. These women are not as lucky as Beatrice Alice Jones who recently married wealthy "Kip" Rhinelander (white), reference to which will be found elsewhere in this paper. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS M. H.

Leaving Springfield Friday (yesterday) they went to Pittsburgh, where on Monday, the Malones opened a large supply and beauty parlor for their many agents in that city. Our readers will remember that Prof. Malone was honored with membership on the committee which formally notified President Calvin Coolidge of his nomination by the Republican National convention, held in this city, the past summer. More evidence of progress. There are too many of our folk out of work who should have good paying positions in the business places of the "Twin Cities", and an organized effort to place them should be started at once by our local leaders. The patronage we furnish the various business enterprises should be used as a lever to open up many places in them now closed to Afro-Americans.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1924 Cuba's public debt today totals about $1,000,000,000 of which $88,000,000 is exterior. It has this year reduced its public debt by $36,500,000. That is one of the symptoms of the helpfulness of General Crowder, who was sent there to bring order out of chaos, and who remains as the American ambassador to Cuba. --- For a long time The Gazette, in common with many others, has felt that President McKenzie of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., ought to be relieved of his duties in connection with the institution, and a less prejudiced and broader-minded man selected to succeed him. The recent serious out-break of students at that school we trust will at least open the eyes of the trustees of the institution to a full realization of the seriousness of the situation there, made by President McKenzie and those of Fisk's faculty who side with him in his way of conducting the university's affairs. THE NEEDS OF THE NAVY. The controversy over the sinking of the unfinished battleship Washington occurred just as hearings were starting at the Capitol to determine the naval appropriations for the next fiscal year. The public discussion of the Washington's end has concentrated attention on the needs of the Navy, and whether it is being maintained at the relative strength fixed by the Washington Armament Treaty. There are undoubtedly pacifist forces at work that would cut our naval defense substantially below the point stated in the treaty and if they are to be successfully met and overcome the widest publicity of naval facts is essential. THOMAS STANDS ALONE. Recently in commending Prof. Neval H. Thomas, of Washington, D. C., to the nominating committee of the executive committee of the N. A. A. C. P., for selection as a candidate for member of the national board of directors, Prof. Kelly Miller of. Howard university, Washington, D. C., wrote Rev. Hutchins Bishop of New York City, a member of the nominating committee, as follows: "Mr. Thomas is undoubtedly the clearest voice now sounding in our midst on the one hundred per cent rights of the Negro race, without reserve and without delay. He has been instrumental in bringing about more practical reforms to the Negro of the District of Columbia than any other citizen." Prof. Miller might have said, and told more truth, too, that Prof. Neval H. Thomas has stood alone at the Nation's Capital, like a beacon light, absolutely fearless and without any regard whatever for his personal interests in making demands upon the "powers-that-be" for the proper treatment of our people of that city. And Washington always has many able "Negroes", a number of whom manage in one way or another to keep themselves much in the time-light. But when it comes to taking a stand which might result in personal sacrifice, they slip out of the time-light just as do about all of our so-called "leaders", throut the country. The N. A. A. C. is to be congratulated upon securing a man of Prof. Thomas' ability, fearlessness and real race-loyalty as one of its directors. His connection with any of our organizations adds a kind of strength all of them are most in need of, these days. AGAIN, "THE LEAGUE OF NOTIONS." The American Peace Award Committee, that conducted that "Bok prize peace contest", is evidently to be the chief mouth-piece of our internationalists and league of nations advocates. It is now planning an "educational campaign", showing the people what the league Stops COLDS LaGrippe Influenza Pneumonia Keep strong. Be healthy and free from winter complaints.

Such is the announced purpose of the Peace-Award leaders. Their action is a gratuitous slap at the voters who rolled up such impressive majorities against the league in the elections of 1920 and 1924. Whether or not the United States should become a member or remain free of the league was thoroughly discussed on both of these occasions, and the voters' decision was strictly according to the merits of the case. Recent history is replete with sound reasons in support of that decision, notably the overawing of Greece by Italy, last year, and the arbitrary attitude of Great Britain toward Egypt, this winter. On these and other occasions the United States would have found itself on the verge of war, if not in actual conflict, with European nations had it been a member of the league and had undertaken, in good faith, to observe its obligations under the covenant. In the light of these grim facts the highly partisan Peace Award committee will have a difficult time gaining converts. "THE OLD DOMINION'S" "Race Purity" Law Hits a Snag—In Virginia a White Man May Wed A Colored Girl—The Judge's Decision. Richmond, Va.—Despite a law of Virginia, forbidding marriage of whites with people of "Negro" ancestry, Robert Painter, (white), and Miss Atha Sorrell, whose grandmother was registered as "free colored," have by court action compelled a local court clerk to issue them a marriage license. In his decision, Judge Henry S. Holt of the Rockbridge Circuit Court, while upholding the general purpose of the Virginia law, asserted that it went beyond the bounds of reason, since it empowered clerks to withhold marriage licenses, if they had reason to believe one of the applicants to be "not of pure white race." Judge Holt pointed out that in 25 generations every person had 32 millions of grandfathers, not to speak of grandfathers, not to speak of his own case he could not prove the other of other than Caucasian blood in the ancestry. "Again," says Judge Holt, "the statute undertakes to define with accuracy who are white, and says that they only are white who are of pure Caucasian blood. That is a definition which in the present state of ethnology has no certain meaning and no meaning upon which two authorities agree." JUDGE GEORGE ASSIGNED! A Large Number of Our People and White Friends Honor Him With A Great Demonstration Chicago, Ill.—Our people and white friends gave Judge Albert B. George a great sendoff, at the installation of the first jurist of the inch in Illinois, when he was sworn in on behalf of Judge Harry L. 9:30 a.m., in room 1109, city has Judge Albert C. Barnes of the Appellate court, presided over the ceremonies. Judge Barnes, Senator-Elect Charles S.

Judge George had been assigned by the judge to serve on preside over branch 18 of the Municipal court and try dagame suits for all people and not simply for our group as prejudiced southern persons and daily newspapers have been announcing ever since election.

His every movement shows that he is a coming artist, making the critics approve him entirely, with no discount for color. His interpretation of Wieniawski and Kreisler would appeal to the most inappreciative and reveal to them the "soul of the violin". The numbers given by the society were highly appreciated.

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 the census office by 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 a Republican and its all-embracing extent by Republican! 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 held on by our Republican leader. Only last year a girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina to the home of the favorite and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here; where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (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 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. The injustice stings a more when they prosecute that they are far more liable 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 the postmaster, locked rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very pres- ence of the colored, to attend a 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. The hard, unyielding caste passes with him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests of quickness and accuracy 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 people may go there, a few tables 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, the law of segregation also 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 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 included a police officer in the office. He was quickly accustomed to 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 which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees 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 I am completely of exist, and a request for the name 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 THE GARSTYS, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY DECEMBER 6, 1924 that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The jazette) 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 men 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 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 disc u r a g e d, 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 Garrison Villard came to town attack White House and Cabinet and secure people and the Nation Association secured public in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The e fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregates, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau a lt 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 SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age, normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Globe) Washington, D. C. The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now on the record that he once 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 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. Yet Neal cannot so scarce them that he can't be noticed. It 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 far further. 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 segregated clerks are forced to enter the residence 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 with them it seats two thousand diners with their drinks. Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so 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 a former. They are depressed at the prospect but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION In Ten Departments of the Government Service—Nearly 500 of Our Employees Insulted And Humiliated. Washington, D. C.—Supplementing what we wrote in The Gazette, last week, relative to Registrar of the Treasury H. V. Spielman's latest demonstration of prejudice and segregation which was exposed on the recent Armistice day, we wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the judge in the segregation of several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, beaver board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the president Coolidge, were hardly cold but in fact they increase segregation in the department here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign.

Cure for Reckless Wives IN GREEK OF Automotive Engineering) Situations demanded and still be a rocky driver. So that is not so good. The way to get the most out of your car with the least outlay of money is to spend a few dollars and a little time in learning how to drive correctly. Intelligent folk realize the wisdom of this fact and use it to improve their automobile school course for that reason. But we're not raxing this type of driver because he profits by mistakes. His grievance is: "I do my best to obey the rules of the road, but that doesn't prevent the other fact: I don't know how to drive." Pine, cancellation of licenses and bad situations prevent the reckless driver from plying his lawless trade for a while but eventually he is back on the road with his gasoline luggageaut.
