It's Interesting History—Open to All—Mr. Henry Kauffman's Latest Gift. PITTSBURGH, Pa.—At the thirteenth anniversary of the founding of the Irene Kauffman Settlement, Mr. Henry Kauffman, brother of the one for whom the settlement is named, gave to the institution a piece of property valued at $75,000. The property is located in the heart of the downtown district and should increase in value each year. In 1910, Mr. Kauffman gave $200,000 to the "Columbian School and Settlement" under the billulation that it should thereafter be called the "Irene Kauffman Settlement;" in memory of his daughter. In 1920, the 25th anniversary of the settlement; Mr. Kauffman gave an additional $250,000 to provide larger quarters. Besides these large and special gifts, he has given yearly sums to the settlement to maintain its upkeep. In all he has made gifts to the institution approximating $1,500,000. The outstanding feature of the settlement is that there are no restrictions as to color, creed or religion. Cleveland Alumni chapter, Kappa Alpha Psi, has elected the following named officers, Dr. W. W. Whitfield, pole-march; Atty. R. R. Checks, vice; Dr. James Owens, sec.; Dr. E. J. Greeg, treas.; Dr. W. R. Richie, strategus; Holly Cooly and Maceo Gassaway, members, board of directors.

Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Ribbins, on 4309 Broadway, write The Gazette as follows: "We wish to thank the members of our Providence Baptist Baptist church, the Baptist ministers of the city, and all of the friends for their kindnesses and words of sympathy; also for the contributions we received during my recent illness. May God add his choicest blessings upon you all." Helen M. Smith (white), dean of College for Women, W. R. U., "roasted college fraternities to a turn" at Antioch church. Sunday evening, characterizing them as detrimental to college work. She did not, however, include such organizations of the alumni—if they were properly conducted. Her address was a "heart-breaker", sure enough, for Omega chapter, A. K. A. It was so unexpected. Alpha Omega Chapter, A. K. A. sorority, celebrated founders' day, Sunday evening, at Antioch Baptist church. Dean Helen Smith of Women's College, delivered the principal address. Special music by Mies Myrtle Wiggins and the church choir, under the direction of Prof. P. Henderson. Miss Pearl Mitchell, nat.' pres. of the A. K. A., gave a history of the organization, and Mrs. Hazel M. Walker presided. Almost every Afro-American act claims to have been with "Shuffle Along," in Bamville, or "Liza." But there is one trio who have won laurels in other shows. They are the "Three Eddies," speedy youths of the race whose stage-work has been confined to the South and where they are as well known as Miller and Lyles or Sissle and Blake. The "Eddies" played all of the big vaudeville time south of Mason and Dixon's Line and now are showing the folks up in the hills, the real, knowable syncopating booing. They have a routine of steps that is undoubtedly the swiftest and most extraordinary yet shown in Columbia burlesque. The act is with "Sliding" Billy Watson's "Fun Show" at the Columbia Theatre, this week.

"SOCIAL EQUALITY" Causes a "Free For All" Fight, But the White Girls of Wealthy Parents Remained Loyal to CHICAGO, IL. --- Edward Marshall, 3241 Wabash Ave, and Burton Bernard, 3302 State St., had a date for Saturday, Jan. 31. They were to take pretty "Tommiti" Casselberry, age 16, and her chum, "Mrs. Josephine Young, to a moving picture show. Mrs. Young is only sixteen, too, despite the high-handled title she assumes. The boys, all dollled up in their Sunday best, set out with the girls and all looked lovely. Oscar Staderker, (white), a friend of the "Mrs." happened upon the scene and seemed slighted when they refused to inform where they were going. They further hurt his feelings when they told him that it was none of his business and that they could get along without his company. The address was delivered by "Mrs." Young. Oscar didn't think that an old friend should be treated that way so he proceeded to slap her face. Our boys took up her battle and soon all were engaged in a "bloody combat." Officer Wahl came in and put all the participants in jail. He seemed a bit peeved because the girls had turned Oscar down so flat. When the case came up in municipal court, the parents of all concerned were present. The fathers of both girls are wealthy. Upon their plea that no record be made of the case, together with a promise from the boys that they would stay away from the girls, the court discharged the fighting quintet and bade them be more peaceful in the future. GREEN PULLED OUT. Of The Phillis Wheatley $000,000 Drive And Gives His Reasons For So Doing—Headed Division CC. Cleveland, Feb. 3, '25. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I am enclosing herewith a copy of a letter sent by me on the 30th day of January, 1925, to the Associate Chairman of the Phillis Wheatley Campaign. This letter fully sets out my attitude towards all movements, which to succeed must bow to race prejudice and discrimination. I trust that you can see your way to publish it in the current issue of the Gazette. Cleveland, Jan. 30. '25. Mr. P. W. Lemon, Associate Chair- man, Phillis Wheatley Campaign. My dear Mr. Lemon: "It has been brought to my attention that pressure has been brought to bear upon Mr. J. Walter Wills to cause him to surrender a home bought by him in Shaker. Heights village, because residents of that section were refusing to contribute to the Phillis Wheatley fund, if he retained possession of the home so purchased by him. On principle, I have always been opposed to segregation and to segregated institutions of all kinds; but because I could see the need of some institution to meet the needs of our young people, who are barred out of other institutions through discrimination and prejudice, I have been willing to enter into the present campaign for Phillis Wheatley and lend what aid I could. However, I have always considered that first and foremost, we as a group, should insist upon the rights guaranteed us under our Constitution, among which, I believe to be the right to buy property and live in it, wherever we desire. I am now in the forefront of a campaign to raise funds with which to fight a battle, through The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, before the U. S. Supreme Court, in which that very right is at stake. I cannot therefore, longer assist in a cause which, however worthy in itself, must countenance the very thing residential segregation, which we are now fighting, in order to succeed. If we lose this fight, before the Supreme Court, we as a people will be set back indefinitely, and will lose much more than the success of the Phillis Wheatley institution can ever give us in return. I am sorry that this situation has come about; but as ever, prejudice and discrimination have come when least expected or desired.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Which Bitterly Arraigns As Traitors Those Who Sold The Standard to a White Insurance Company and Calls On Standard Policy-holders To Leave It and Join Some Negro Insurance Co. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 2, 1925. Editor Guzette, Dear Sir:—There are times when as a race we are called upon to make decisions as between truth and falsehood, to sacrifice dollars for principle in order that our institutions may live and that some doors of opportunity may continue to remain open to Negro manhood and womanhood. The Standard Life Insurance Company being almost national in its scope was of interest to thousands of our people, and it is for this reason that the Atlanta Negro Civic League believes that the race should know the TRUTH concerning the DEATH of the Standard Life Insurance Co., and should take a very finite stand in the matter. The enclosed statement was adopted by the League, Monday, Jan. 19, 1925. Any publicity given this statement will be of real service to the race. Atlanta Civic League, Chas. H. Thomas, President. in Negro womanhood, and pride in race achievement are assets that cannot be bought and sold, and though the material assets of the Standard Life goes out, the race, the Negro manhood and womanhood, the agency force, and the policy-holders will exercise their manhood rights and demonstrate to the world that they themselves cannot be sold, that they are above the price of gold, that they are free and independent human beings and will continue to support their race by demanding the cash surrender value of their policies and lining up with some strictly racial institution. Arise, Oh! black men. in the North, the South, the West, the East, and linking hands and hearts; create and build newer and mightier institutions wherein the manhood and womanhood of the race will have a fair opportunity of unhampered expression and advancement. Atlanta Negro Civic League, Chas. H. Thomas, pres. The greatest blow that has ever struck the business side of our racial group during the past decade was the knowledge that the Standard Life Insurance Company had been bought out by the Southern Life Insurance Company of Nashville, Penn. Assets of over $2,000,000 which should have remained under the control and management of the group of southern white men whose traditional attitude has been, during the past three centuries, that the place of the Negro was that of a scrf and mental. The Standard Life was strictly a Negro Institution, built with the money of Negroes for the benefit of Negroes, in the hope that their sons and their daughters might some day have the opportunity of working in an institution manned by men of their own race, for only in such an institution can any Negro hope to live and really work as a free American citizen (in the South). I hold the above to be true and self evident, for though we have thousands and millions of dollars in white banks and white institutions we hold no positions with them other than that of center and scrub woman (in the South). The Standard was built on race pride and race co-operation. A small group of Negro men (trattors) betrayed the race when they sold the majority of this stock to a white institution. On the other hand the man or group of men who loan money with the primary object to grasp that which is not theirs (that's not for a fair and legal rate of interest, but with the sole idea of taking that for which they have not labored). That such a man or group of men is to low the association of honest men. It is this class of white business pirates that now control the Standard Life. (What about the Negroes who sold the Standard?) No high-class Christian gentleman' of the white race would lower his dignity by taking control of a Negro institution built upon pride of race and no self-respecting Negro will work for such an institution. We thank God that the sale of the Standard Life stock does not mean the sale of the manhood of the men and women of our race that created this wealth and brought this great institution into being, for even the material organization has been sold we believe that the men of our social group who created this institution are still great racial giants, top loyal to their race and the ideals on which the Standard was built to save any of their efforts to the further building of assets for white prizes. We thank God further that the sale of the Standard stock does not mean the sale of 20,000 policy-holders for these policy-holders are all degrees, loyal to their race and to Our God. They will not be disguarded by this sale but they will dedicate and reconcentrate themselves to the task of building up vital enterprises and will demand the cash or lean value of their policies and place their membership with some other Negro institution, and this out of the sales of the Standard will rise a greater North Carolina Mutual, a greater Atlanta National Benefit, a IN UNION IT IS STRONG LE COPY FIVE CENTS STANDARD INSURANCE COMPANY Proced By The Atlanta Association Sailors Those Who Sold The Stand- Company and Calls On Stand- To Leave It and Join Insurance Co. in Negro womanhood, and pride in race achievement are assets that cannot be bought and sold, and though the material assets of the Standard Life goes out, the race, the Negro manhood and womanhood, the agency force, and the policy-holders will exercise their manhood rights and demonstrate to the world that they themselves cannot be sold, that they are above the price of gold, that they are free and independent human beings and will continue to support their race by demanding the cash surrender value of their policies and lining up with some strictly racial institution.

Atlanta Negro Civic League, Chas. H. Thomas, pres. J. Howard Phillips, sec. Henry H. Edwards, treas. TWO VERSIONS OF THIS CONTROVERSY. The following is self-explanatory: An Open Statement. The Cleveland Branch of The N. A. A. C. P. understands that there are a number of white people in Cleveland who are refusing to pledge and some of them have withdrawn their pledges to the Phillips Wheatley Association, an institution which they have always fostered as a definite social need, because a Colored man (J. W. Wills) owns a home in the Van Sweringen allotment in Shaker Heights. We also understand that certain pressure is being brought to bear upon the gentleman in question to compel him to dispose of his home, before certain elements of whites will contribute to the campaign. The Cleveland Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. wishes it distinctly understood that if these are the conditions upon which the pledges of the white citizens of Cleveland are to be made, then all self-respecting Colored citizens want it understood that they would rather not have the contributions. (Signed) THE CLEVELAND BRANCH OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLLORED PEOPLE. By CLAYBORNE GEORGE. President. The other version of the above-chronicle story is that a real-estate man, by the name of Silverman approached both Drs. E. W. Dale and Leroy N. Bundy and tried to interest them in the purchase of Heights property for the purpose of reselling it to. (prejudiced) persons in the neighborhood at an advanced price. Both Bundy and Dale refusing to enter the deal, he went to J. W. Willis with the result noted above. ODD FELLOWS' BUILDING LOST! When the Standard Life Insurance Co. Was "Gobbled Up" By Southern Whites—Still Others of the Race to Suffer. ATLANTA., Ga.—When the Standard Life Insurance Co. was taken over by white southerners, recently, the Odd Fellows Building on the corner of Butler St. and Auburn Ave., this city, was also taken over. This happened because the Standard held a mortgage on this building which as yet has not been assumed and from the present condition of the lodge it does not appear that the building can be saved. It occupies a complete block and holds hundreds of offices, a drug store, moving picture theater and several of our leading concerns of the south. The Standard Life Insurance Co. owed the whites $630,000 secured by fifty-one per cent of the company's stock, so when the debt fell due and the company could not pay, the whites holding the stock and having the right to vote, merely voted that they take over the company in lieu of the debt. Gibbons, Wills and Dempsey Angeles, Cali.-Tom Gibbons and Harry Wills will both have an opportunity to meet Jack Dempsey, who will be the next champion.

Among the many to remember the editor's recent birthday with letters, cards, etc., was Mrs, May Clement, a subseriber, who sent a very pretty letter with appropriate printed and written paragraphs Which are very pleasing indeed. Mrs. Clements is connected with the Fidelty Bond & Mortgage Co., 722 Guardian Bldg., a company which gives our people a fair and square deal. The former president of this company, W. E. ‘Shut, who died in’ recent months, ‘was a personal friend of the editor of The Gazette and numbered many other friends among our people. When Mrs. Clements calls, listen to ‘her and you will learn something worth while. In his letter to Dr. E. J. Gregg, re- cently, City Manager Hopkins did NOT “apologize” for what he said about “50,000 Negroes being dumped into Cleveland” and about thelr fur nishing “‘a potential menace” to the city. What he did do was to reiter- ate and amplify what he had said that so many “Negroes took excep- tions to” that a mass meeting only, apparently, could afford them relief. Now, Mr. Hopkins, since you have been’ so successful in making them see the “pint”, please see that wards 11 and 12 get better police protec- tion and about all of your “potential menace”, coming from these people, will disappear quicker than their al- leged “indignation” of a few weeks ago. ll! — THE PHILLIS WHEATLEY HOME. When that institution was started, some years ago, The Gazette warned our people of this community that it was but an “entering wedge” to “Jim crow” them in various ways. Since, we have repeatedly called attention to the great harm all such separate institutions do the race in this sec- tion of the country and particularly here in Cleveland. Especially has thig been true whenever there has been talking of starting its twin evil, a “jim crow” Y. M. C. A. When Mrs, Scofield and other white women of the local ¥. W. C. A., to head off an effort being made by some of our local ministers and others to open that institution to our girls, se- cured Miss Jennie Hunter and start- ed the Phillis Wheatley home, with the intention of making it “a black taif to a white kite”, The Gazette and others in this community did all in their power to make our peo- ple SER, but in vain. They either couldn't or wouldn't; most likely the latter. Apparently, they were under “the magic spell” of those persuasive white women, “friends of the race". We did succeed, however, in estop- ping them from making it, at least on the surface of things, “the black tail” of the local ¥. W. C. A. “kite,” as intended. In the last six years there have been several abortive attempts to start a “jim crow” Y. M. ©. A. and hospital, largely because of the apparently successful existence of the Phillis Wheatley home. Unsuc\| cessful attempts have even been made, in the last year or two, by ‘jim crow Negroes” to make the Branch Cedar “\Y", open to mem- ners of all groups or classes, 2 “jim row” “Y". Of course, all of these oolish efforts had the support of yrejudiced whites who pose as riends of the race” but believe in hat Booker T. Washington Atlanta aik of many years ago—‘separate s the fingers of the hand, the two aces (colored and white) in this ountry can live". Booker meant hat for the South, not the North, mat all who read it did not under- tand it that way. Now, and very aturally, too, under the cireum- tances made by the existence of the milliy Wheatley home, some of its yhite friends are demanding rest- ential segregation and backing up hat demand with a threat to with- raw their pledges to the Phillis Yheatley home's $600,000 building und its white friends and “Negro” ssociates claim to have secured in be last ten days. Not satisfied with barring our girls from the Y. W. C. A. and with separating the white and colored solicitors in the drive for funds by having the whites meet at the Chamber of Commerce at noon and the “Negroes” in the evening, last and this week, prejudiced whites would exact more and that is, that no member of the race purchase a home in Shaker Heights. Lord! have mercy on these prejudiced whites and their “Negro” dupes. One half of the effort to start the Phillis Wheatley home or one half of the effort “Negroes” alone have put forth in this $600,000 fund drive would have opened and will open the Young Women’s CHRISTIAN As- sociation, with all of its many ad- Yantages, to our girls as to the de- serving of all other groups or classes in this community. seth Additional Local Our graduates of Central high school, last week were: John Stokes, Ruby Hightower, Nelita Hardy, Vio- Jet Manuel, Mary Whitfield, Samuel Fitzsimmons, Wm.

Segregation How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Tuft. 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 white people, in this city in black people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. Negroes are carried on to its all-cmbracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held by our Republican Presidency. Only last week, a civil service appeared after he 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 Cannon and President Coolidge. The North Carolina man, the home of the segregation force, Col Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of our nation's "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 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, when justice rested on all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people of the segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very pres- ence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster and he came off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mall. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets the needs of the 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 building, and the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an 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 promotion. 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 his work, felt the injustice of this restful retreat, and 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 placed on a pistol and a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and falling to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately discharged. The employees our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. THE GALLETTE, CLEVELAND O. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1925. 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 tazette) (Spectator to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing in interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young women who lost their position as 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 loca a white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, to democracy them to the crises, Oswald Wimsey Villard and to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau ait together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Summer and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the publique. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in the school 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 girls for segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the 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 the seas, he was the P. Secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Netanyahu's administration can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilets, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored few in such a large structure. Hence, the toilets of the clerks are forced to endure physical resistance 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 festive scene that their presence with space to bear their dimers with space to bear their nut, nut, nut. 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 and help poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION Washington, D. C.—Supplementing what we wrote in The Gazette, last week, relative to Registrar of the Treasury H. V. Spielman's latest demonstration of prejudice and segregation which was exposed on the recent Armistice day, we wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in the office has been 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 hardly cold before the effort to indict the governor had been made in here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcans 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. 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. Box 2, Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against. The Jews are still contending against the universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. 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 nature not white, and they have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

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 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 guilty for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lyching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279.

If any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share, the child receiving a minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate.

A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by a mob. (93 v 162 6.1) Section 6283. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v 162 7.) Section 6285.

Section 6287. The county in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in law. In cases of serious injury or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought been very effective. 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 anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BBS. ed. g. representative of victim of lynching injury by mob trying to lynch another and costs in tax levy. s. inst member of mob. nst another county. 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 came gence on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negl- imprisoned not less than thirty days county in falling to protect such p prisoner or dispurse such mob (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW 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 one had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code 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 color, the full enjoyment of the access rights of the citizens or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall 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. 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 Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry 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 was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, C., April 25, 1919. Hon. Editor C. Smith. Edward C. York, Editor The Gladstone, Cleveland, OH Dear Mear Shr: Observing your letter to the Editor, I want to share 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 fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, it would have been a good case for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO RE- PROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage.—Editor. ulation! or Reading it or Reading a SCHOOL FIGHT DAYTON, O.—A great mass meeting was held here, this week Friday evening, at which the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, was the speaker. Our people wanted to hear the man of the race who went to our people in Springfield on a similar occasion at their request, several years ago, and so inspired them with his several speeches, that, with the assistance of "The Old Reliable, Gazette, they marched straight on to victory over the "jim crow" school effort of that city, then he first arrived in Springfield our people were discouraged and ready to give it. He was different when he had finished his first talk, as every one there and many here now, know. A full account of the local mass meeting will appear in our next week's letter to The Gazette. Watch for it. MARCUS GARVEY GONE N. Y. dispatches to local daily newspapers. Tuesday, announced that Marcus Garvey was at last being sent to the federal penitentiary at Atlanta to serve the five year sentence given him, last year, in U. S. court at N. Y. City for alleged fraudulent use of the U. S. malls. RACE PREJUDICE1 "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. Tell It, Brother, Tell It! 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 the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune. My car is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper.
