LOS ANGELES, Cal.—Over a quarter of a million dollars is the price to be paid the successful architect who is awarded the contract for drawing up the plans for the new $5,000,000 City Hall. With the assistance of an advising architect, not residing in the state and whose salary will be $5,000 plus expenses; the city will select four architects, not connected with the contest, as jurors. They will each receive a fee of $1,000 plus expenses. All the architects of the state will be invited to compete and the winning architect will receive a contract on a percentage basis estimated to be worth $300,000. Our Only Member Paul R. Williams, winner of the Beaux Arts Institute of Design medal for 1812, and the only Afro-American member of the American Institute of Architects, is one of the contestants. Williams' entry into the contest has created some concern among his many white competitors due to the fact that he has a reputation of winning all competitions in which he enters. It has won three national and four western architectural competitions, and recently his design for a civic center was accepted by a western city of 30,000 inhabitants. Pref. J.

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.

AND MRS. AARON E. MALONE. Novel Awards Feature Poro College trips to interesting places. It said that there is no time of ST. LOUISE, Mo.—One of the novel features of the celebration of the New Year at the Poro College of Beauty Culture in this city, was the award of prizes in gold to those employees of the firm who have provided themselves with rubbers, raincoats and umbrellas during the year. These awards were initiated by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone, heads of the college, to encourage their workers to guard their health. The health awards, however, are only one set of a number of others which have placed the college in a distinctive class in its observance of the Yuletide. An annual Christmas dinner is held at which all Poro employees and many friends attend. At this dinner diamond rings are given all employees whose 5th anniversary with the firm has occurred during the past year. This year 27 workers received rings and of the 175 employees at the home institution more than 100 have received diamond awards. On New Years Day, gold awards were given to those employees who had made investments in real estate during the year, or those who had assisted their parents in acquiring real estate. Other consideration was given to employees who had been punctual and regular in attendance at their work. Some employees are rewarded for particular service by being given Wherever Found, Says Editor Du Bois on His Return From Africa and Other Countries. NEW YORK CITY.—Efficiency and happiness do not go together in modern culture, according to an article on the primitive black man which Win E. DuBois contributed to a recent issue of the Nation. He discovers that, as the "Great Truth", in travels which took him through the warm countries of the Mediterranean and into Africa. The darker the race, he finds, the happier. "Goling South from London, as the world darkens it gets happier," he writes. "Portugal is deliciously dark. Many leading citizens would have difficulty keeping off a Georgia "Jim crow" car. But, oh, how lovely a land and how happy a people. And so leisurely. Little use of trying to shop seriously in Lisbon before 11. It isn't done. Nor at noon; the world is launching and jolling in the sun. Even at 4 p.m. one takes hances for the world is in the Rio. And the banks are so careless and the hotels so displeasing. How delightfully angry Emilia-Sebun got at the "drammed, lazy, Portuguese." And so the editor finds conditions as he travel south into Africa. There he finds not the machines of the white man, the hustle and the bustle, the anxiousness, but in its stead happiness, a development contemporaneous with that of the white, not behind it, nor prehistoric to it, but a growth and manner of living, which to those whom it affects, represents, just as much of advancement. They have and take leisure for thought. They are courteous. He remarks: "These folks have the leisure of true aristocracy—leisure for thought and courtesy, leisure for sleep and laughter. They have time for their children—such well trained, beautiful children, with perfect unhidden bodies. Have you ever met a crowd of children in the east of London or New York, or even on the avenue at Forty-second or 142nd street, and fled to avoid their impudence and utter ignorance of courtesy? Come back to, Africa and see well-bred and courteous children, playing happily and never sniffling and whining. I have read everywhere that Africa means sexual license. Perhaps it does. Most folk who talk sex frantically have all too seldom recovered their source material. I was in West Africa only two months, but with both eyes wide open. I saw children quite naked and women usually naked to the waist—with bare bosom and limbs. And in this sixty days I saw less often sex dalliance and appeal than I see daily on Fifth Ave. here. This does not mean much, but it is an interesting fact." trips to interesting places. It is said that there is no time of the year when workers at the college are not being sent on these educational or pleasure journeys. Interested observers have voiced the opinion that many of the above evidences of human interest on the part of the owners of the college are responsible for a practically complete absence of a labor turn-over among Poro workers and for the splendid spirit manifested by the employees. A WARNING! Michigan has large tracts of farming land of good quality, for the agriculturally inclined. A warning is sounded, however, to the too trustful purchaser, that they should deal only with accredited, dealers; and buy only certified lands, as there are millions of acres of waste land, unfit for cultivation.

Stanley Brown, senior medical student at Western Reserve university, who took the examination for interne at City hospital, made a splendid record but was not considered on account of his race or color, it is said. He is said to have had an average of 87, the past semester, the highest in his class, for all Reserveye records. A student, who has spent but two years at Reserve, had an average of 89, it is said.

A. building fund campaign, (Jan. 23 to Feb. 2), a gift of $3,000 from 21 of our women at the home was announced. The pre-campaign organization work began. Tuesday, with two meetings at 12:30, at the Union Club, Dr. Robert H. Bishop, Jr. chairman of the general campaign, called together the following division leaders: Mrs. A. D. Baldwin, Mrs. D. W. Frackellton, Mrs. Fred L. Taft, Mrs. Chas, F. Thwing, Mrs. Howard Prescott, a number of men and women who are interested in the uninterrupted. Dr. Bishop being confined to Lakeside hospital with a touch of influenza, Mrs. Baldwin presided at the luncheon, and Chas. K. Arter at the dinner. The second meeting of the day was the dinner, at 6:30 p.m. at Hotel Winton, of the executive committee of the "Negro" division, of which P. W. Lemon is chairman, and also associate campaign champion, and the campaign team captain. Division leaders, who will work with "Lemon," are, Wm. R. Green, Mrs. G. G. Jones, R. K. Moon, Mrs. O. A. Taylor, and J. Walter Willis. (Why a "NEGRO" division, especially in the work for a "NEGRO" institution?)

Luis Angel Firpo, the "well-known human being," as a witty sporting writer styled him, is fishing for a match with some prominent prize fighter, from America, to be staged in London. But he bars Harry Wills by "drawing the color line". This is nothing new, for other pugilists. Wills has been kept out of many profitable ring encounters in that manner. But Firpo makes it a more glaring humbling than usual because he fought Wills in New York, not many months since. Then he drew no color line, but at that time he expected to add to his prestige by locating the "brown panther". On the contrary, he lost the fight, and that is why he refuses to meet the colored fighter again. The same explanation, plain fear, accounts for the "color line" absurdity in the case of other suspicious "and prudent" fugitives. It is a convenient way of codging Wills. He is too big, strong and formidable to suit their antiquous notions.—Bent, Karr in the Cleveland Daily Leader. We do not believe that Firpo drew any color line, but that some fool-American sport-writer in London manufactured "The Color Line Joke" for prejudiced Americans' consump- Usefulness and convenience are the two things aimed at in The Companion Home.

New York City.—Mrs. Ray Frank, mother of Leo Frank, who was lynched near Marietta, Ga., in 1913, died here, last week, from heart disease. Frank was convicted of the murder of a fourteen-year-old girl in a pencil factory and was sentenced to death. His lynching followed announcement the governor of Georgia had commuted his sentence to life imprisonment. The Franks are Jewish people. IN UNION IS STRENGTH E COPY FIVE CENTS 5,000 W.A.

Mrs. Baldwin (Otis Need for Building Mrs. Baldwin Cities Need for Building "When Miss Hunter came to Cleveland from Hampton institute, twelve years ago, there was no place where a self-respecting colored girl could find a night's lodging," Mrs. Baldwin said, in telling the need for the association's proposed building. "The Phillis Wheatley Association has changed that to some extent, but it is too handicapped in crowded quarters. A white girl, coming to the city for the first time, with her greater resourcefulness, has little difficulty in keeping out of danger. The colored girl comes confused, there are no hotels open to her, and she has difficulty finding a properly conducted boarding house."

With four victories to their credit, the Acme basketball team tackled the classy Wilberforce team, last week Friday night, at the old Eagle, now Carpenters' hall, in E. 55th St. losing the contest, a fast game, 41 to 30. The collegians took an early lead and held it. Lewis and Ward starring for them. Among the teams defeated by the Acmes, in the recent past, are Clark's Luncheons and Prudence Services. Last year Wilberforce handed the Acmes a drubbing, but this year the latter made a much better showing owing to the strength ing of the team by the addition of Sam Hampton, former E. Tech. center; Hudson, a forward, formerly at Wilberforce, and Harris, guard from Pittsburgh. In the contest, last Friday evening, Hampton and Johns collected 22 points. The score at the half was 23 to 18 for the visitors. In the preliminaries, Williams Bili- liards downed the Caraway club, 27 to 14.

It has removed the reparations question from poli- tics, is stabilizing European ex- changes, and is a great stimulus to business. This gentleman should have added that the Dawes plan would probably never have been sug- gested had the United States been a member of the League of Nations. In that event the suggestion would have had to come before the League for decision, and the United States, be- ing a member, would have been an ‘official participant with other. mem- bers in giving it application. That 4g a responsibility ‘we would not have assumed, but, being free of- the League, our Secretary of State was able to aid in making the report effective while not accepting official responsibility. SCORES DUBOIS AND THE NAACP. “Dr. Chas. H. Roberts, a member of ‘the race, who was the Republican candidate for Congress in the 21st N. ¥.

P. headquarters’ officials, with a fail- are to support his candidacy in the recent campaign. What Is most dis- tresBing is the fact that he seems to prove his charges in an open letter ‘whioh appeared in the New York Age of last week. Dr. Roberts calls attention to the fact that several of the ‘officers of the national organiza- tion were Openly supporting the “third party's" candidate for Con- gress in his district, and scores the editor of The Crisis for his failure to say, the good things of him before the election Dr. DuBols has sald in an editorial published since. He characterizes thelr course as any- thing but indicating an earnest and honest desire for the “advancement of Colored people”, following this with the following: | “If Dr. Du Bois thot more of his black ancestry and less of his white ancestry, it would lessen bis burden of concelt.”* Little by little we are learning the real cause of the defeat of Candidate Roberts. AMERICA IN WORLD FINANCE. It is highly interesting to read the amnouncement made by financial leaders that in the past year Ameri- can investors have received in inter- ‘est on foreign investments a total of $750,000,000, exclusive of interest paid to the United States Govern- ‘ment on {ts war loans. This inter- eat was paid on stocks and bonds and other forms of securities given by foreign countries, municipalities, corporations or business concerns, and held by citizens of the United States. The figures may not be en- tirely steurate, as estimates seldom are, but even if approximately cor- rect, they Indicate the extent to which the people of the United States have become factors in inter- nations! finance. Thé @eop!e thus interested are not Imafted to the targe capitalists but inclu¢e the gmail investors who may have bought only @ small bond issued by some Beropesn government, city, oF in- dustrial concern. Danks waich nave fonted these foreign loans do not ‘ni the securities themselves —(bey gela thom to the American padic. It THE GEEVUM GIRLS vo o> EARS 80 aeeume teat this $750,000,000 is clear gain to the financial United States. The fact is that many Europeans hold United States bonds, the bonds ot Ametican cities, and the securities of American corporations. On those Securities they collect annual inter- est, which counterbalances to some extent, if not entirely, the interest paid to Americans. When condi- tions became unsettled in various Buropean countries, and especially when capital taxes were proposed, investors in those/countries shifted many of their holdings to American securities as a matter of caution. As & continuance of that caution, the interest on their American invest- ments may not be going to them in Enurope, but may be placed to their credit here, awaiting a time when it can be transferred without danger of confiscation by taxation or other- wise. Ever since the outbreak of ‘the war there has been an unknown ‘but large quantity of wealth seques- ‘tered in the United States, but sub- Ject to the command of citizens of foreign countries. Considerable quan- titles of gold in the United States have been described as “earmarked”, oF subject to exportation when its ‘owners call for it, Nevertheless, it 1s highly pleasing to know that Afnericans have become heavy inves- tors ‘in foreign securities and are continuing the policy of making fpr- eign investments when the proposed Joan looks attractive. Time was when America had practically no foreign investments but good American money was constantly going out, in large amounts to pay to foreign in- vestors the interest on their Amori- ean investments. Coincident with the estimate of $750,000,000 paid to Americans in interest in the, past year, there is also the estimate that in 1924 Americans invested approxt- mately a billion dollars in additional foreign securities, bringing the total of foreign securities now held by Americans, exclusive of securities held by the Government, to more than $9,000,000,000. Many public loans in foreign countries have been floated in the United States in the past year, and in almost every in- stance the loan was quickly sold. All of this shows that the people of the United States, iike their government, have no spirit of isolation. ‘They are Prosperous and willing to‘ invest in foreign securities it there seems to be a reasonable degree of safety. ‘The United States has confidence tn the future of the world and of the Rations which compose it. By thetr foreign investments the American Deople are betting on thelr judgment im the ultimate restoration of the world to the prosperity of revived Peace-time activities.

"It justifies and Rolie ‘te. gether more baseness, eruelty and abomination than any ether sort of error in the world.” =H. G. Wels. —__—<$<$<$<— {8 IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the anly race, responsible members of which are in favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that their race “al- ways will be discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- tion, and are. winning even so- clal ‘rights today. ‘The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than sub- mit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, “Negroes. are not worthy of equal rights; they are by na- ture without self-respect and have no ‘guts’.” The world re- spects only those who resent ‘and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abo- Utionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of thelr race to equal liberty, and forever resist dental of rights tm our native land, however tong race discrimination may continue.

Prot. Mansfield, in describing the polson ivy plant and its power to potson, either directly or indirectly, urges that im- mediate efforts be made to prevent the spread of its growth in the local parks ‘and suburbs. “The poison ivy, ‘Rhus radicans,’ ts one of the most’ widely distributed plants in the eastern United States,” according to Prof. Mansfield “Every year, because of iis hardiness, this poisonous plant becomes more widely istributed, and by reason of its at- tractiveness many persons, though aware of is uature, allow ft to cover their old fences and hedges, which otherwise would be unsight!y. “Once the poison ivy see enters the sell it thrives, growing in three forms; as 2 trailing vine, a climbing vine, or as a shrub, capable of afflicting most persons with an intense irritation and swelling of the skin, which, though seldom fatal, is’ extremely annoying and Mable to weaken the entire system. Some persons must come in direct con tact with the three-foliate leat of the plant to become poisoned, while othors are so susceptible that a few of the pollen grains, sometimes from a dis tant plant, upon the skin produces irri tation. “The first effect of the poisoning ts ‘a mild skin irritation, which, when the sufferer rubs or scratches, becomes worse. The friction breaks the outer skin, the pofson enters the inner and more sensitive tissues, and the svffer: ing increases acocrdingly. “The secondary egect causes a reu- dening of the skin, followed by blis- ters, formed by the infiltration of wa- ter between the outer and inner layers of the skin. When perforated, that water touches an unaffected part, which In turn becomes poisoned. “9 eure the poisoning and counter- act Its effect, the effected parts should he rubbed wich a pase of bicarbonate of soda, which finally should be lef ‘on the irritated part as a thick mass. to be moistened as the water evapor ates. Again the irritation may be washed with strong alcohol, which saponifies the fatty or resinous nature of the poison of the poison ivy plant and renders it harmless. ‘This treat. ment proves efficacious only during the first stage of the poisoning. “Thousands of persons are poisoned every year by this plant, but still ft is allowed to grow, practically uphinder- ed. For several years efforts have been made to exterminate the plant from the New York Botanical Garden, where it grows in tremendous quantl- ties, and within a few years this will be accomplished. To eradicate the poison ivy plant In any of {ts forms, however, ther oots must be dug up and the area which they occupied be gone over year after year.” Prof. Mansficid urges that exhibition gardens of poison ivy be arranged in the parks, where the public may study its appearance and the methods for its eradication. When all are familiar witi the plant, steps may then be taken to assure its extermination from the entire country. NCW PUZZLE FOR SCIENTISTS Strange Discovery by Farmer Who ‘Went for Spring Water. Mayfield, Ky.—While filling a quart bottle with water from a spring near here, farmer discovered what he thought was a horse hair wiggling in the bottle of clear water. He had filled the bottle to drink, but on seeing the wiggler decided he would examine it with a magnifying glass. The hair proved to be a tiny snake. ‘When placed in a shallow plate of water for exasination ft would strike at a toothpick held near fts head, and acted tn other ways like larger snakes. Its color was that of clear water. It is believed to be a species of the cab- bage snake, and probably as poisonous. its length is two and one-half inches: STEVE 1S DONE WITH SNAKES Freeling, Va—Stephen Estep used to like to hear snake stories, but no more. He has told one himself and vows It is tho last. In explanation ft should be sald that Stephen was badly scared by a decapitated rattlesnake on Cumberland Mountain. ‘The reptile had been made headless by a man with @ hoe, who camo across it after dig. ging @ patch of potatocs, It was left In the path. Steve, who had been to the top of the mountain, looking after some cattle,.passed along and, seeing the snake, pressed the toe of his shoe ‘pon its ‘tall, To his astonishment, the headiess end curled up with al most lightning speed and struck him gn the shin, the sharp point of the Yertebra penetrating the flesh and causing a keen, stinging sensation. Or at least 60 Steve thought. He was snakebit. He started homeward in all possible haste. Going a few steps he was struck squarely in the face by another snake of the same species, in a dangling position. This caused him to make a halt, when he found that the snake had ‘been suspended by a string over the path, this being an old. time trick of boys to care passersby. The snake was dead and harmless. And the other? Stephen, after reach. ing home, decided that ft had not hurt him, but he has had enough of snakes. DOB SETS LIGHTS FOR PILOTS Many Men Along the Ohio River Know Old Shep and Love ea Silver Gorge, Ky.—Few persons who travel up and down the Ohio river realize that a great portion of their safety 18 looked after by a dog. The dog is known to a great many river men as Old Shep, and that these navi- gators have great love for him goes without saying, ‘The dog is the property of Louis Gander of this place. Each night, win- ter and summer, when the river is at a normal stage, he can be seen placing the government signal lamps on the ends of the various dikes inthis vicin- ity. ‘The master 1s employed by the gev- ernment to place the danger signals in order to warn approaching steamboats and other crafts. Just before sundown Mr. Gander and his dog can be seen coming down the river bank from the Gander homestead. Mr. Gander stands on the bank while Shep picks up a lantern in his mouth and runs to the end of the dike, where the lantern is placed in position. ‘The dog will return to his master and the two will walk up the river to the next dike, where the same per. formance Is repeated. LAMB BECOMES A FOX CHASER Was Raised with Litter of Pups, Which May Explain It. Y BT es ge ey eRe ee 2 © /_ Cynthiana, Ky.—Former Assessor Jobin Ingles sold a lamb to J. D. Evans ‘because {t insisted on chasing foxes ‘and wouldn't stay at home. The lamib’s mother early in {ts life disowned tt ‘and Ingles gave it to a dog which was raising @ litter of hound pups. ‘The lamb suckled at the breast of the dog and grew up with the pups and waxed strong and fleet of limb. It rejoiced fn the sport of the dogs and withal became quite @ gay young thing. It ran rabbits to-fts heart's content, outstripping the dors, but not knowing what to go with the rabbit when caught. The lamb would butt hogs to beat the band, and when the dogs treed a coon it would stand at the foot of the tree and try to bark. Finally it got to chasing foxes and staying away from ‘home so much Ingles thought the sat est plan was to sell it, Mr. Evans was ‘a ready purchaser. ‘LOG HOUSE WITH A HISTORY pecanoe” Harrison.

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-takers in this city in 1911 in 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 Democrat institution. Negroes, Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held. Only last week, a colored lady appeared after having received 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. Commissioned Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregation force. Col. Sherrill, supervisor 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 stand behind muddled 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 our Constitution, and its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and the disadvantages of a department maintain that spacious cafers for 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 at the more when they can be affected that they are far more capable than the whites, and permit 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, com for t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALZ of the people. In the locker rooms there segregation, and segregation was attempted. And all of these 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. 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. To unyielding castes whites over him one colored man, 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 but there are the employees may go but there are the employees may out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the superior employees have 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. He was 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 the Right after the incident a flicker in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately discharged. He was severe punishment our employees received, as 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 informants for the names of informants would suffer so I have never given a single name! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTS, CLEVELAND O. SATURDAY, JANUARY 3. 1925. 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 is so well settled upon it, and the insulants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The tazette) (Special to THE Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving an incestuous Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three herole young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous 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 discured, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for someone to meet the wald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregates, 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 Summer and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREAT the teachers that they teach 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 seizing the power of the teaching with the assurance 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. 一 (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, president of the colony'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 Negroes are so scarce there that they are not the 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 toilets, 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 the most physically inconvenience at times, are the most 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 scene that their presence creates, that their thousand diners with space to spare; but 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 state, 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 Humiliated. (Special to The Gazette.) 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 has likely been the target of attack, for segregation in several of its bureau 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 election of President Coolidge, were written in the same increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureans An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees, as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employees. Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department," Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. COW WITH OSTRICH APPETITE Find Tacks, Nails, Stones, Wire and Money in Her Stomach. Walla Walla, Wash.—A cow butchered in a local packing house proved to be a regular bovine ostrich. In her stomach were found a 5 cent piece, sixteen tacks, two eight-penny nails, several small pieces of iron, a piece of wire three inches long, and a number of pebbles. The discovery of the nickel imbedded in bossy's stomach led to an investigation of the contents of the stomach and the collection of metals and minerals was found there. Owns a Five-Footed Heifer Lewiston, Pa.—Milton Benner, a cattle dealer residing a few miles from Skippack, is the proud possessor of a five-footed heifer, and strange to state, it walks on all of its feet. He has refused good offers for it from showmen, it is sait. Permitted to Adopt His Own Daughter Pape Had Allowed Her at the Age of 7 to Become Foster Child of a Neighbor. Toppenish, Wash.—Through a decree entered in the Probate Division of the Yakima Superior Court, Judge Thomas E. Grady has permitted Don S. Pape of Toppenish, to adopt his own daughter, Pearl Pape, who for nearly fifteen years had known Frank L. Babbit, of North Yakima, as her father. For only three years has the girl known that she was an adopted child. When his little daughter was only 7 days old Pape was left a widower, with four boys and the little girl to care for. Mr. and Mrs. Babbit, who had no children, were the nearest neighbors, and during Mrs. Pape's illness had cared for the babe. She was left with them until Pape could arrange for her care, and the couple became so attached to the child that they asked for the right to adopt the baby. After long consideration the court procedure was agreed upon, Pape reserving the right to visit his daughter and re-adopt the baby in case of death of either Mr. or Mrs. Babbit. Years went by and both families settled in the Yakima Valley. Three years ago one of the Pape boys died in Tippenish, and at that time the father and foster father told the growing girl of the true relationship. Recently she expressed a desire to make her home with her real parent, and an agreement was reached between Babbit and Pape, Mrs. Babbit having died, to grant her request. The attorneys investigated decisions in all the states without finding a parallel case, but the papers were taken before Judge Grady at North Yakima, and he decided to grant the permission through which Miss Pape becomes the adopted daughter of her own father and the adopted sister of her own brothers. MAKING SURE OF THEIR "EATS" Old Couple In Town Ask if Hotel Has A "Lunch Wagon." Minneapolis, Minn.—When a plain old couple strode to the clerk's desk at the West Hotel the crowded lobby of convention delegates and travelers turned as one man to look. The man took a pen from Clerk Albert Paul and was about to sign the register when a nervous hand fell on his shoulder. "John!" called the wife in anxious tones, and there followed a stage whisper an inch from "John's" ear. "Say, mister, have you a lunch wagon here?" was demanded of Paul. The old man kept his hand poised over the register awaiting reply. "We haven't a 'lunch wagon,'" said Paul, "but we have a dining room with plenty of service." Assured that the call of appetite need not go without heed, the old couple were duly enrolled as guests. HUGGED BY NAUGHTY BEAR Show Animal Takes Charge of House Loots Pantry and Wrecks the Furniture Charlestown, W. Va.—Charging that a hungry and affectionate bear wandered into her home, ate everything edible in sight, cuddled her until she was breathless and then tossed the kitchen sink into a piano, Mrs. Henrietta Singer of this city, has brought an action for damages against the owners of the Plaza Theater. The bear, which was part of an animal show at the Plaza, walked out of the stage door when waiting for his turn to appear professionally and, according to the story told by Mrs. Singer, must have hustled right for her home. She declares that she heard someone fumbling at the door in a dazed manner. Knowing that it could not be her husband, she ran to a window to see who was knocking. The bear pushed in the door, took charge of the house and began to mix things. WOMAN CONVICT EARNS CASH Supports Two Daughters by Fine Needlework. Ottawa, Kan.—Mrs. Molly Stewart, a life prisoner in the state penitentiary for complicity in the murder of Jane Schneck and two children, four years ago, has recently made some embroidery that attracted the attention of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, and other notables. Several noted persons are now regular purchasers of Mrs. Stewart's embroidery, and thus the proceeds of the life termer's needlework supports two daughters at school. NEW COTTON PICKING RECORD Arkansan Gathers 1,183 Pounds in 12 Hours, 35 Minutes. Pochahontas, Ark.—Claude Rice, 17 years old, of near Biggers, established a record when he picked 1,183 pounds of cotton in twelve hours and thirty-five minutes. It is alleged the record is six pounds above the best mark yet recorded in the cotton belt.

Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1834 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has MOBS. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise' correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter.

Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BS. ed. g. representative of victim of lynching.bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. must member of mob. nst another county. Section 6238. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob camegence on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the council had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894; The General Coge of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Whoever violates the next preceding section will also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. 一 This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outtery for the passage of the Beaty bill. a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to he fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law good law and did not need amending, and sending letter from Judge Grant former partner of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: --- Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last in which judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was maintained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries in administering it.. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. But Give Copy of It.
