The two outstanding gatherings—the local agents' meeting at St. Paul's Zion A. M. E. church, on Monday evening, and the agents' graduation exercises in Triledstone Baptist church, on Wednesday evening—were splendid affairs, indeed. One of the beautiful features of the graduating exercises was the candle-light exercise by Poro agents. The literary and vocal selections were also greatly appreciated. Mrs. Vivian Potec, the very energetic demonstrator, presented the class, which numbered 33. Mrs. Annie M. Malone, founder of Poro culture, awarded the diplomas, and gave a short "business" talk to the agents that was a gem. Prof. Aaron E. Malone also ably addressed and greatly pleased the class and the audience. Both addresses were inspirational. Following in the very interesting program of exercises: Opening Song....

In Africa Blacks Superior to White —In China and Other Foreign Countries The Same Condition Obtain—Johnson Calls In his speech at St. John's A. M. E. church, last week Wednesday, James Weldon Johnson, sec. of the A. C. P., down two essentials to be observed in co-operation for social progress of the race. "The Afro-American must make himself fit for all the rights of American citizenship," Mr. Johnson said. "He must become economically, educationally, morally and physically fit. And when he has done these things he must find some way to compel recognition of his fitness when it is attained. To be good citizens," he continued, "we must have good jobs. A man without a dollar cannot be much concerned about good citizenship. I know some think that being fit will in itself work miracles. But such miracles are not worked. Before me are those who are fit. But even in a great city of a great free state this fitness does not compel the recognition which American citizenship entitles. Must Have Co-Operation. "What must we do? We must learn to live in good houses in good neighborhoods. We must have the right to live where we choose, to have a house in a decent neighborhood and the right to stay there. Here we are, in the vortex of civil life, outnumbered ten to one. We must have the co-operation of the dominant majority. And today we have but a small remnant of a host once on our side. The great American public now is apathetic about you. That's worse than active hostility. We must have co-operation and at the start it should be co-operation without any reservations. I myself would prefer to stay; on the outside and keep my self-respect than go in and lose it. And a basis of co-operation with no reservations is the only kind out of which anything permanent can come. I entered the Jim-crow car, in the South, and said nothing," he said. "But in my soul I protested. It isn't riding in such cars that hurts you—but believing you should be there is what damns your soul." William J. Norton of Detroit, president of the National Conference of Social Work, followed with an interesting talk on Community Funds. Dr. J. D. Williamson, vice president of the Society for Savings, presided. affairs, indeed. One of the beautiful features of the graduating exercises was the candle-light exercise by Poro agents. The literary and vocal selections were also greatly appreciated. Mrs. Vivian Potte, the very energetic demonstrator, presented the class, which numbered 33. Mrs. Annie M. Malone, founder of Poro culture, awarded the diplomas, and gave a short "business" talk to the agents that was a gem. Prof. Aaron of. Ohio State university said, last week Thursday night, in addressing at E. Tech. High auditorium the final evening session of the National Urban League conference. Prof. Miller then "cleared the decks" by showing that throutout the world minority groups have been oppressed by larger groups with a superiority complex. "America has the misfortune to think her race problem is something essential," Prof. Miller said. "It is the merest incident in race problems. And settling of the difficulty here would be of no importance to the rest of the world, save possibly. Secretary James W. Johnson. as the setting up of a model. The only important thing in the world is that people learn to live together. All else is incidental. Thruout history people have divided into groups. The greater assumed qualities of inherent superiority. One of the objections cited by American Negroes is the superior feeling apparently held by the whites. In Africa the blacks have that same feeling over white men; and in China the yellow man looks down on the white. Do not think that the Negro race suffers anything which has not been suffered before you." before 1910. Prof. Miller cited examples of the persecution of Jews and certain central European peoples, and said women once were oppressed. Francis I. Jones, of the department of Labor, described work in connection with the employment service. Editor J. Finley Wilson, G. E. R. of our Elks, appointed W. W. Williams as his local deputy for one year, when here, recently. E. Malone also aly addressed and greatly pleased the class and the audience. Both addresses were inspiring.

George of the Municipal Court was sworn in, last week Monday at noon, friends of both races packed the court room and made it a bower of flowers. They were a number of line speeches by prominent members "This occasion," said Chief Justice Harve Olson in opening the ceremonies, "may well take place in the state of Abraham Lincoln, and marks a broad step in the tolerance of the people of Chicago, who have shown that legal ability and integrity and character may be recognized here regardless of race, color or creed." Bower of Flowers Thus in the courtroom, banked from the bench to the rail with flowers and crowded to the doors, for the first time in Illinois an Afro-American was inducted into office as a judge of a court of record, with votes of nearly half a million American citizens behind him. Bench and bar joined in paying tribute to the occasion. In addition to Chief Justice Olson the speakers included Appellate Judge Albert C. Barnes, Roy O. West, secretary of the Republician national committee; A. Mermann R. R. Jackson, Editor A. L. Jackson and Louis B.

New York City, Dec. 4.—(Special.)—A group of white money lenders was about to strip holdings valued at several million dollars from Heman E. Perry, "Negro" financier of Atlanta, Ga., when he was rescued by a group of white philanthropists headed by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago. Perry, who began with nothing, at the age of 51, is president of the Standard Life Insurance company of Atlanta, which he founded; chairman of the board of the Citizens Trust company and of the Penny Savings bank, and president of eleven other corporations, nearly all located SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Dopplonas Awarded Mrs. Annie M.

Nordland $500 000 in Cash An emergency need of $500,000 in cash put him in the hands of a us up of southern white-money lenders, and they were just about to foreclose and "teach him." His rescue was arranged quietly at the offices of the Title Guarantee and Trust Co., and he was provided with the money he needed to get out of the hands of the money sharks. The meetings were attended by Perry Dr. Robert Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute; Clarence H. Kelsey, chairman of the board of the Title Guarantee & Trust company, and Mr. Leeowald, who furnished half the funds. With the insurance company its keystone, Perry financed chain grocery systems, laundries, building associations, and land development schemes around Atlanta, Ga., in which members of the race were frequently showing its business capacity. All these projects took money and Perry discovered a few months ago that he had tied up too much in the land development schemes. In the emergency he went to the money lenders and pledged a controlling stock of the insurance company stock. World-War-Time Premier Clemencap Pays High Tribute to Mons. Diagne—Refused the Legion Paris, France. - Georges Clementen, who was expected to be a witness in the libel suit brought by the "engageses" deputy, Mons, Diagne, against the newspaper Les Conti-nents, of which Rene Maran, the author, is editor wrote a letter to the court excusing himself for, being unable to appear. Mons. Diagne charged that the newspaper accused him editorially of having received a certain sum for each soldier enlisted in Senegal during the war. He was then High Commissioner for the recruiting of black troops. In his letter Former Premier Clemenceau praised Mons. Diagne for his work in recruiting 70,000 men during the war. He said that the plaintiff had only promised to recruit 50,000. "I need not say," added M. Clemenceau, "there was never a question of payment, nor a premium offered for each recruit, and when I offered Mons. Diagne membership in the Legion of honor, he refused it." The African (stateman) had only done his duty and would take no reward, he said. Diagne is a French subject, Senegal belonging to France. He will soon make a lecture tour in America. Maran is also Colored. COPY FIVE CENTS ters" THOMAS FLAYS Southern. Hypocrisy and Prejudice, in an Open Letter To The United Daughters of The "Confederacy"! Their Disgraceful Conduct in a Meeting at the Nation's Capital to Which an Afro-American Police Officer Was Sent —Women Came Near to Blows! Washington, D. C., Dec. 8, '24. To the United Daughters of the Confederacy: The entire local press gives a most unfavorable report of your meeting of Wednesday night, telling you of rockless charges and countercharges against the probity of each other, and the general disturbance of the peace of the neighborhood. It further stated that when the police were summoned to quell the bedlam which you ladies had created, a superior colored officer was sent. You immediately sent in protests charging that the presence of this dutiful officer, with a splendid record in the police department and in the city, was an outrage. I want to tell you with all the emphasis at my command that the outrage was your unseemly conduct and not the presence of this officer whom even our white press concedes acted with wise discretion and cultured use of authority. Immediately one gallant knight from the enlightened state of South Carolina, where men exult in such feats as burning human beings and carrying away as souvenirs the charred bones of dismembered bodies, rushed a protest to the police department against sending a Negro officer to suppress infractions against the public peace by "cultured" white ladies, without a word of censure against the lawlessness, that made interference necessary. FINE CONSIDERATION! I am forced to state that the Negro officers are the most intelligent, Prof. Neval H. Thomas. discreet, and dutiful on the police force. The cruel discrimination that exists in America forces superior Negroes into callings that no white man of their attainments would accept; hence we find a far superior grade of public servant in the Negro officer. Yet you object to his presence to make you obey the laws of your own making. You did not object to his cure and honorable solicitude when he was alone with you when your Confederate sons were off to war to wreck this nation and fix the curse of slavery on this land forever. Nor did you in the world war object to his and Flanders Field while southern boys were dodging the draft, and you were sending ours in numbers out of all proportion to their percentage of population. You do not object to his presence in the criminal peon camp and in your mills at starvation wage for your selfish profit. No, it is the old rebel spirit that the awful war could not even destroy. You still insist that there shall be a master and slave class in America, and that no Negro shall be anything but a humble servant who shall submerge himself in service to you. All you have ever offered him is a "mammy statue", not in gratitude for ten generations of service to you, but as a standing symbol, and eloquent advocate of your benighted, tenth-century conception of an ideal commonwealth. We are going to win our proper place in America in spite of you. Ncval H. Thomas.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1924 What President Calvin Coolidge had to say relative to "The Negro" in his message to the Congress, last week, was of such a general nature as to do our people very little if any good. It was characteristic, however. He is going to be a sad disappointment to those of our people who voted for him, especially those so-called "Negro leaders" who affected so much enthusiasm in their support of his recent candidacy. President Warren G. Harding did NOT "plan" to make Mr. Charles Cottrill, recently deceased, deputy U. S. commissioner of internal revenue, as stated by the Pittsburgh Courler, and he did NOT promise to make Cottrill register of the U. S. treasury, as stated by the Pittsburgh American and other race papers. The editor of The Gazette was told this by President Harding in a conference, held with him in the White House in May of 1923, just prior to his leaving on that ill-fated trip to Alaska. OUR PEOPLE TO BLAME. Dr. Charles Roberts, a member of the race, was the regular Republican candidate for Congress, at the recent election, in the 21st New York district. In the Harlem section of that district are 25,000 or more qualified Afro-American voters. He polled only 7,000 votes in the entire congressional district, as against 11,000 received by his opponent, (white). Regardless of what white Republicans in that district did, or did not do, the fact remains that our people there are to blame for Dr. Roberts' defeat because they have more than twice as many votes as he needed to win. It is but the same old story. There is not another group of American citizens in this country that could be forced to make any such showing as our voters made in Dr. Roberts' case on the recent election day in the 21st congressional district of New York state. Ohio Afro-Americans "sit up and take notice!" There are two sides to most every question. We have so frequently stated our people's side, that it is interesting, at least, to have our minister friend (white) give his view or the other side, of the question as to why the Republican party has denied our people consistent support. Even the facts that he marshals (in his letter, published elsewhere in this paper), and they are more or less common to all groups or classes, did not and do not justify the party's refusal to appoint other members of the race to replace those "Negro" appointees who abuse the preference placed in them, just as it does in the placed in them just as it does in the cases of other groups or classes. This same holds true in the case of the Democratic party, only in a lesser degree, because it has received and is receiving far less support from our people. A GREAT NEW SCHOOL Several times the past year, The Gazette has carried news-items telling of the preparations to establish Cardinal Gibbons Institute, a great new school for our people. It is the fulfillment of a wish expressed by that great friend of the race, almost in his last hours. The school has already a sufficient beginning to permit the reception of students, a formal opening having been held, last month. Three buildings have been erected and a fourth is under way. The institution is situated at Ridge, because of bad roads a hitherto rather inaccessible point in Maryland. The cardinal hoped that such a school might be established near the site of the landing of the Catholic pilgrims in 1634 and that it would be in keeping with the spirit THE GEEVUM GIRLS of the colonists who were the first in America to guarantee both political and religious freedom. The school will be open to our students of all religious faiths, but will, of course, be under general Catholic direction. It will emulate Tuskegee N. & I school and be entirely under an Afro-American faculty, the only white official being the chaplain, who for thirteen years has been stationed in that locality working among both our and the white population. Much of his labor since the cardinal's death has been in the interest of this school. The faculty will be recruited from our educators thrust into the country, irrespective of creed. The students will specialize first in a high school course and vocational training, gradually advancing to a higher education and the arts. Cardinal Gibbons was a broadminded, farseing man and fully realized the importance of providing for Afro-American education. There are many Afro-American Catholics in the south, who they are proportionately less numerous in the north, and it is likely that they will be especially attracted to this school, which is to be known as the Cardinal Gibbons institute. It will make one more needed educational establishment for our people. COMPULSORY VOTING Because of the large number of eligible voters who do not go to the pools in Great Britain, there is agitation for the enactment of a compulsory voting law, with a penalty. It is asserted that Belgium suffered from the same disease of apathy a few years ago and enacted such a law, with a severe fine as penalty, and good results followed. In the United States election laws are within the jurisdiction of the states, not of the Federal Government. It would be interesting to see how such a law would work in some state here. Ohio and other states ought to try it. AN INSPIRATION. Last week Monday, speaking at the installation of Municipal Court Judge Albert B. George of Chicago, he first Afro-American to be elected to such a position, Chief Justice Harry Olson of the court said: "Judge George was elected and we are paying this tribute to him not because he is a member of any racial group, but because he is an American citizen." That's fine! And the right spirit, too. Now then, if we could only get the U. S. Congress to emulate that spirit by substituting the hyphenated word Afro-American for the very objectionable and obnoxious term, "Negro", it would go a long way toward closing the gap (in the minds of the people of this country) between American citizens (white) and the so-called "Negro" citizen of this great country. Judge George's election to the bench will prove an inspiration to our youth as well as adults such as our people have not had in many, many years, and fully explains the following paragraph from an address delivered at the installation exercises by Editor A. L. Jackson: "And I now may tell my sons that what they do and what they become in the United States depends upon what they are, what their characters, and upon nothing else." While the foregoing is not wholly true, it is in part, the inspiration for the utterance coming from the very gratifying, triumphant election of Judge George to the municipal court bench of Chicago. SENDS SON'S BRIDGE A CHECK Which She Fears to Use—Mrs Rhinclander's Ad- dress to Flight New Rochelle, N. Y.—Mrs. Leonard "Klip" Rhinelander, last week Thursday, received a substantial check from her father-in-law, Philip Rhinelander, according to friends of the family. Although the exact amount was not mentioned, it is known it was a four figure (large) sum. Mrs. Rhinelander refuses to cash the check, fearing it might be construed as acceptance of a settlement from the Rhinelanders, whom she regards as responsible for the check, recently filed by her husband. Mrs. Rhinelander, a courtney, Samuel F. Swinburne, denied he had been consulted in regard to a financial settlement out of court. "I am admiring her to fight with all the energy she can summon," said the attorney. "She is blue and despondent, but there has been no attempt at suicide, as was reported." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY DECEMBER 13. 1924 MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL CLIPPINGS The Ladies' Home Circle met at its secretary, M. Uptiergrove's, in Stephens St., last Thursday afternoon. An interesting program was rendered and the paragraph, relative to "The Negro" in President Coolidge's latest message to Congress, thornyly discussed.—Some of our representative citizens met in Zion Baptist church; Minneapolis, Sunday afternoon, and perfected a temporary organization of a protective league, the object of which is to better the social and economical conditions of our people of this city and vicinity. A committee of twelve was selected to further the work of organization. The meeting was well attended. Next meeting, at the same place, Dec. 21, when a permanent organization will be effected.—Moses dames Sugar, Harper and Duncan, well-known and useful residents, died, last week.—The reception and concert at Border M. E. church, Thursday night, are being impatiently awaited. Notice. Mrs. Ella Adams Jackson, formerly of 281 Rice and Summit Ave's, but now at 560 Rondo st., manager of the No. 5 Good-Will store, wishes the patronage of all. Let us help push this enterprise upwards. She can do all much good with the goods one buys there at the lowest rates. They get the best advantage. J. H. Golfin, cor. 807 Fourth Ave., N. A WHITE MINISTER'S VIEW On Why The Republican Party Has Denied Our People Consistent Support—Interesting. A white friend—a Methodist minister (retired)—wrote us, last week the following: "Permit me to give my view of why the Republican party (nationally) has not patient support to 'our colored brother'." Here in — we gave 3 colored men high places in local affairs. One races in the P. O., drank, played the race, got in debt, neglected his family and was dismissed for forgery in a registered letter case. And one, janitor of high school, went on a 5-day's drunk and took the keys with him. He was rounded up in an assignation house in another city when he was sent to school. When his wife, with seven small children, applied for food, shelter and clothing, he lost his job. The last one, also a janitor, of new high school, drank regularly. Money turned his head. He tried to kill his wife, neglected church and laid in the street drunk. Twice he was warned and three times has been restored. But — — — — — I mean, this class of "Negro" has been the kind the party favored, until their work — business became a lawful excuse not to advance the "Negro" at all, not even attempt to do so. That there was, and is, another and better way to advance the "Negro" but the party would not have them, because the "Negro" did not desire their recognition as his representatives at that time!!! Now, in — — — a Democratic sheriff in taking office (years ago) promised the "Negroes", for their support, a man in the P. O. and one on the grand and pet jury. He was elected. No Republican would make any such promise. The "Negro" mail man was given a route he could not cover and was discharged in three days. The jurymen never could find the place where the sat in court time, and were justed for failing to answer roll call." "TIGER" WINS EASILY "Kid" Norfolk Defeated—Gibbons Helps Dempsey to Side-Step Harry Wills. New York City.—As was generally expected, Tommy Gibbons beat "Kid" Norfolk in the sixth round of their scheduled fifteen-round bout, at Madison Square Garden, Tuesday night. The "Kid"'s defeat is to be used as an excuse for another Dempsey-Gibbons contest because the former and his friends fear a contest with Harry Wills. "Tiger" Flowers of Atlanta beat Johnny Wilson, former middle-weight champion, in the third round of their scheduled ten-round bout. The referee, seeing that Wilson was helpless and about to be knocked out, stopped the fight. "Tiger" made short work of his job. PELHAM HONORED By the National Academy—Selected For Scientific Research Work. Washington, D. C.—Dr. Harry Leroy Pelham, a former resident of this city, now engaged in research work in physiology under Dr. H. B. W. Williams, of the College of Physicians of Columbia University, New York, will pursue scientific work along medical lines under the auspices of the National Academy of Science, beginning in January, next. Dr. Pelham was the ranking student at Howard University Medical school, degree of 1923, and winner of the Dumas prize of $100 in gold. He is a native of Newburgh, N. Y., and has the degree, A. B., from Lincoln University in Always Take HILL'S CASCARA QUININE BROMIDE C-202 Relieves COLDS in 24 hrs.

Dr. Lloyd Newman, of Washington, also an honor graduate of Howard University, who specialized in the study at Harvard University, preceded him in research work under the same auspices. THE NEGRO. These developments (industrial) have brought about a very remarkable improvement in the condition of the Negro race. Gradually, but surely, with the almost universal sympathy of those among whom they live, the colored people are working out their own destiny. I firmly believe it is better for all concerned that they should cheerfully accorded their full constitutional rights, that they should be protected from all of those impositions to which, from their position, they naturally fall a prey, especially from the crime of lynching, and that they should receive every encouragement to become full partakers in all the crimes of the black citizenship—President Calvin Coolidge in his recent message to The Congress. Dear Sir:—Judge Albert B. George is not "America's first colored judge in a court of record". He was preceded by Judge Ruffin of Boston, and Judge Terrell of Washington, D. C. Please correct the statement made in your issue of Dec. 1, 1924. Judge George is the first Afro-American judge in a court of record to be elected to office. Judges Ruffin and Terrell were appointed by the governor of Massachusetts and the President of the United States, respectively. Please make the foregoing correction in an early issue of your paper and oblige. Four Million For Education. Raleigh, N. C.—North Carolina is now appropriating for Afro-American education nearly four million dollars a year, a sum greater than the state expended for its entire educational program.,white and colored, in any year prior to 1910. This was the startling statement made by Prof. N. C. Newbold, of the state department of education, at the annual conference on "Negro" education held in Raleigh a few days ago. ashamed It brought him untold misery; yet only he himself, was to blame 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 dentifrice—might have saved him this humiliation. But he even neglected these things.

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) (Special to The Gazette.) (Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge and now under President boehn 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 presidents, Washington, had been, but the ent administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting work to white men, 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. The Negroes are Republicans and carried out 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 photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenacious and our Republican President. Only last year a Republican 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 of State President Hollydale. He halls from New York to 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 more than 60% of his hood stars at a loss 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 Constitution, and 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 cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing lunches 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 white clerks tell the new 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 the owners of 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 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 employee," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. It was ordered 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 though their examination was superior. No Negro however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. A building with whites over him, after another, though many of 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 also many who are not 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 the music department has its exclusion of our employees so keen 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 pistol. 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 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. But he was immediately dismissed. By the punishment our employees are taught 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 them, and met by a dental that the conditions are 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 GAZETTE, CLEVELAND O. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 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 hear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.-Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost 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 people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette iodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our loca 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 dis c o u r 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. Osasati Wilard came to town to attack life House and Cabinet and arouse our people. The 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 alt to 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 helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the pub service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED, that they have toilets, and working stations, not of 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 jobs, and we are segregated. 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 Glazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now able the abstent financial genius since the 1970s to make it. 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. 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 a large thousand clerks. Yet Negroes do scarce there that they can't be mentioned, as is the same general complaint here among clerks and other employees as they 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 varibus forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilette, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toillets for the colored few in such a large structure. Hence the segregated clerks are forced to endure a distance at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent An Outrage! 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 fine scene that their presence creates. It seams two thousand diners with chairs to seat them 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 with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION In Ten Departments of the Government Service—Nearly 500 of Our Employees Insulted And Abused (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—Supplementing what we wrote in The Gazette last week, relative to Registrar of Treasury James H. Tessar, we demonstrated 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 center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaues has been most pronounced. This is particularly true in the case of the registrar 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 election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to indict the treasury registrar here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureau An investigation of the executive How to Start the Weat By REWIN (President Greer College of Of course the principal difficulty in starting a car when it is cold is that the gasoline does not vaporize readily and combine with air into a combustible mixture. Understanding this, do not wear out the storage battery with the starter or your patience with the orank handle with a fruitless endeavor to start something. Use your head instead of your arm. It will start easier, for patience headstrong nor armstrong starters are worth while. As soon as the engine starts it is very important that the choking FCC BCL device be opened partially, depending upon the temperature until the engine heats up, and then fully closed. Otherwise the excess of gasoline will cause the engine to run sluggishly. Indeed, it may load up the cylinders with such a mixture that the engine stops again. This in turn will make it harder to start the engine than before. Do not open the choker again if the engine stops from this cause. Get as much air in as possible while you crank the engine and thus approximate a correct mixture. Use the choker device fails to start the engine the only thing left to do is to apply heat to the intake manifold.

FACTS There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune. the Car in Cold her GREEN Automotive Engineering) pour a little hot water over the manifold. The intake will get warm enough this way in a little white. But a supers way is to wrap a cloth about the manifold and empty the teakettle slowly upon it. Extreme care must be taken not to get any water on the high tension gunnison terminals or in the flood chamber of the carburator. Water will not pass through the spray nosele and a thy globule will stick there and hold back the gasoline. Practically all modern carburetors have some sort of warming de- vice to heat the gasoline and air entering the mixing chamber. Some get air from a stove or hot-air furnace attached to the exhaust pipe and some depend on hot water from the cooling system. The water will enter the system, however, until after the engine has been running some time and will not help the cold morning troubles of the owner. If there is a hot water jacket on the carburator, persons who drain the cooling system on cold nights will add starting materially if they use the radiator just before it is time to start the engine. This warms the entire engine, so that condensation is not likely to occur. rease its circ TTE After H describe After People who Advertise Can sell Goods. • • • People who sell Goods Can make Money. • • • People who make Money can advertise goods. • • • The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZTITE.

OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern our ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours. George W. Blount. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
