University of Missouri Instructor In Sociology Says "I Can See Negro Blood In The Characteristics Of This Audience", And Tells Whites Thut Racial Troubles Is Due To Their Failure to Recognize The "Negro"s Capability. Columbia, Mo.—"The Negro is a repressed element in our society," said Herbert Blumer, instructor in sociology in the University of Missouri. "We segregate him in the theatres, street-cars and everywhere. There is no opportunity for him to participate in cultural things. He is repressed politically, educationally, industrially and socially." Mr. Bumer then went on to tell some of the many ways in which the "Negro" is repressed. He said that in some parts of the South only $2 was spent on the education of the "Negro" as compared to $10 spent on whites. He said that in politics the "Negro" did not have a chance and pointed out the fact that there was not a single "Negro" senator or congressman and not a single "Negro" representative in states where they outnumbered whites. "There is no proof that the Negro is inferior. This has been proved by the reports of anthropologists and others. The white race is the most hybrid race in the world today. I can see negro blood through characteristics of this audience. The Negro invaded southern Europe and mixed with the native stock. Therefore many of the nations of Europe show negro blood. Many people think that the Negro race in Africa had no culture, but the belief is absolutely absurd because he has enjoyed high civilization." said Mr. Blumer, who also brought out the important part the "Negro" played in the World War, the Revolutionary war, the war of 1812 and the rebellion of 1861-1865. "The reason for racial trouble today is that the whites will not accept the fact that the Negro is capable of doing as much as they do." said Mr. Blumer. perous farmer of Cadiz R. F.

McKenzie, of Fisk University, last week Friday announced that "a considerable number" of students had voted to leave the university as a body as a result of the suspension of four students for a demonstration against McKenzie's rule at the university, last week Monday night. A resolution to the effect that they would not return to their classes until their grievances were adjusted was adopted at a mass meeting in Livingston Hall chapel, Feb. 6. it was signed by 100 junior and seniors and approved by 400 other students. The demonstration, which required police to subdue, followed an order by the president of the university restricting social activities and proposing simpler dress and mode of living. P. W. A.

C.-Society of the nation's capital, the innermost circles of the diplomatic corps, the fashionable hotels and residences are all agog at the latest developments in "society". It is all over the marriage of the son of a North Carolina ex-congressman to a "colored" cook. On Jan. 17, Henry Falson (white), age 33, and Miss Annie Nelson, age 37, were married, at 1352 Union St. S. W., in the presence of a number of the bride's friends. "DAMNED FOOLS", PREJUDICED AMERICANS! The Opinion of an Englishman and Many Others—Interesting Experiences, The Well-Known— Rare prejudice, to anyone other than a so-called, is the plaything of gods. Sometimes the point of authority grows saturated and what at another time would be laughter attains it to horrified incredulity. An American, whose identity is concealed beneath a non-depliant writing in the February issue of the Utility Magazine, brings to light evidence in support of the above concession, that is at one Jardinous and trade. This writer traveled through the south, passing for black or white at sea. Some of his observations and experiences are reprinted below. The man goes out with his wife to a restaurant and is stared at because his wife is slightly darker than himself until he speaks to his wife in French, whereupon the watters become occupiously polite. He travels in the South on a Pullman carled as a载ed by a southern white man that all persons with a drop of blood can be distinguished by their finger nails. "If you had a little drop of nigger blood in you, you'd have a dark-blue circle right here, indicating the colored man's larger nail. He proceeds to join a white church in a southern city which displays a sinister inscribed "a hearty welcome to all." The minister welcomes him, commends his Christianity, intelligence and declines to receive him because "we can't have social equality to the South." Another time, a conductor on a Caterain train, ignorant of the man's "Negro" ancestry, offers to "fix" up for him with a white girl traveling on the same railway car. He releases an invitation to dinner, issued by a southern white who declares: "I tell you, Suh, there isn't a Negro who ever lived that I consider intelligent and decent enough to sit at my table." After giving a number of instances of gross prejudice against trained and intelligent men of the race, the writer tells of a visit to an Englishman of prominence who looks bewildered at seeing him. Says the Englishman: "Do you mean to tell me they class you as a Negro in America?" "I assured him that I was so in-filed." "What damned fools Americans must be on the race question! he exclaimed." ONE LYNCHING, FAR TOO MANY! Palo Alto, Cal., Jan. 31, '25. My dear Gazette: I thank you for sending me a copy of your paper. I shall give it at once to the editor of the local paper. I have always kept the copy of The Gazette you sent, two years ago, because of the columns on Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law. I do hope we shall grow civilized soon. The recent articles about "only so many" lynched in 1924 are shocking! ONE is far too many. I don't see how anyone can say "only." With all good wishes. Alice Park. See, Western Press Committee. American Human Education Society. P. S. I am a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and have been for a long time. ANNULMENT BENIED ASKED ON GROUND OF COLOR! St. Paul, Minn.—District Court Judge R. D. O'Brien delivered a fearless decision, recently, in favor of Mr. Creona Ostmann, whose husband, Otis, had sued for annulment of their marriage because (the said) he had discovered that she was "colored." Judge O'Brien in handing down his decision assured that "race offers no ground for annulment of marriage." The counsel for the defense, Atty. Swan, pointed out that fraud had not be a intended as Ostmann knew him wife's family before thir marriage. The couple were injured, last November, and had lived very happily until a few weeks ago. Ostmann is of a very artistocratic family and lived in the exclusive Merriam park "where his wife also lived before their separation. Mrs. Ostmann was formerly Miss Croona Beasley of this city and is the daughter of a well known citizen. BURLEIGH ON RADIO PROGRAM New York City.—Harry T. Brewleigh, writer of many "Negro" spirituals and other songs, gave, in connection with the TuskegeeIllumination quartet, two recitals here, recently, in the interest of the $5,000,000 endowment drive of the two institutions. A native of Erie, Pa., Brewleigh, who resided in Washington for a brief time, has been for 30 years barlone soloist at wealthy St. George's church, this city. At the Brick Presbyterian church, also this city, in recital, recently, Mr. Brewleigh gave his program of "Negro" folk, songs, the Hampton-Tuskegee quartet giving plantation melodies and spirituals. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS GARFIELD AND WILLARD SCHOOLS Two Cases Now Pending—Loyal Members of the Race Determined to Fight to a Successful Finish—Great Mass Meeting Addressed by the Editor of "The Gazette." Layton, O. The following statement of the local "jim crow" school light was recently sent to the head-quarters of the N. A. A. C. P., in New York City, by Assistant Secretary R. W. Bagnall who was sent here to investigate the controversy between our loyal members of the race on the side and the prejudiced school-board and "jim crow Negroes" on the other side: Springfield "jim crow" school fight of a few years ago which, was won by our people of that city with his assistance—all aided him wonderfully thrust us starring address of an hour and a half. Our people were radied by his speech as never before and wound up the meeting, at his suggestion, by taking an exceptionally good collection to help carry on the double-headed contest That year, as a result of the migration, colored children were placed in a semifacade of the Willard school, separate from white pupils, and made to enter the building thru a rear door. The Parents' Protection Association was organized to protect to the board of education against this procedure, and when the education board ignored the protest, the parents organized a boycott of the school, 95 per cent of the pupils absenting themselves for more than two months. The case came up before Judge Martin who attempted to obtain arbitration of the differences, but failed. This case is to come up before a new judge during this month and the colored people are confident of the legality of their case. Another similar case has arisen at the Garfield school in Dayton where a colored citizen has demanded that his children be taught to the main school and not in the fines reserved for colored children. Upon refusal of the principal to admit the children, Mr. Reese, employed counsel and brought mandamus proceedings. This case is also to be heard in February. A number of colored people, encouraged by the board of education, are agitating for the continuance of segregation on the ground that a number of colored teachers will lose their jobs, if it is abolished. The segregationist group is known as 'The Hand of Ethiopia'. In this connection, I pointed out that in New York City, where segregation does not now exist, and where it was feared that the abolition of segregation would lose jobs for colored teachers, there are more colored teachers employed than ever before. The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity has also entered the Dayton Court and has sent a statement to the Dayton school board demanding that in the Garfield district one school be erected for all citizens. Feeling that the veteran editor, of the Old Reliable' Gazette could and would help them, our loyal leaders here arranged a great mass meeting and invited him to come on and address it. The meeting was held last week Friday evening, in North Patterson church and the enthusiastic audience, which packed it to the doors, was more than repaid in every way with an address long to be remembered. Editor Smith's long career as a journalist and leader of the race, his six years in the law, legislature, and consequent knowledge of Ohio law, especially those of special significance to our people, his experience in several lights like the one we here are now engaged in, the latest being the GRADUATION EXERCISES. Of the Rubertford B. Hayes School— Splendid Prairie—Personal The sixth grade classes of the Northfield R. Hayes school hold their graduation exercises in the lower half of their school building on Thursday evening under the auspices of the R. B. Hayes Parent-Teacher Association. In the absence of Mrs. Mary B. Martin, president of the association, Mrs. Mamie K. Knuth, principal of the school, presided at the opening of the meeting, but a prayer by Rev. Jordan, the program announcements were made by Master, George Glymph, a member of the graduating class. The numbers were all well rendered and very interesting. Instrumental selections were given by the school orchestra which had been trained by Miss Gertrude E. Holmes; a sixth grade teacher, assisted by Mr. Miller, manual training instructor, and social selections rendered by Miss Chra B. Breyer's class. In her address to the graduates, Miss Knuth especially commended the work done by the "over-age" class, a group of boys and girls ranging in ages between thirteen and seventeen years, taught by Miss Grace D. Freshnow. Members of this group, she said, were nearly all recent comers to this state and retarded from three to five years on account of lack of previous opportunity. But this group of sturdy girls and boys having overcome this handicap of retardation were graduating with credit; many being doubly promoted this semester. The Quarrel Scene IN UNION IT IS STRKING LE COPY FIVE CENTS FIGHT WILLARD SCHOOLS "Must Be Eliminated the Courts. All Members of the Race Determined Finish—Great Mass Meeting editor of "The Gazette." Springfield "jim crow" school fight of a few years ago which was won by our people of that city with his assistance—all aided him wonderfully throut us stirring address of an hour and a half. Our people were rallied by his speech as never before and wound up the meeting, at his suggestion, by taking an exceptionally good collection to help carry on the double-headed contest in the interest of our local school children which we will not end until victory perches on our banner just as it did that of our people in the neighboring city of Springfield. Mr. Smith made no charge for his services and assured our The Editor of "The Gazette." people here that he was "heart and soul" with them in this school fight and wanted to bear his part of the expense, backing up this statement with the first substantial contribution when the collection was taken, later on, as he suggested. Mr. Reese's Garfield school case was scheduled for its initial hearing, this week, and the Willard school case, next week. We shall keep The Gazette readers posted as to the progress of the local school fight. While here, the editor was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. J. N. Samuel-Bellboder of Norwood Ave., the former being vicar of St. Margaret's Episcopal church, who proved 100 per centers as host and hostess. C. W. Cordin, a veteran of the Spanish-American war; a notary public and pension attorney, at the National Military Home here, was most kind and considerate, escorting his long-time friend, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, to and from the meeting at the church in his auto; and on Saturday morning, took him thru the city and out to view Dayton's great new dam, seven miles out, going from there to the train with him. Our people are determined to have the editor here again before long and arrangements for another such mass-meeting have already been started. Presiding officer Banks, as usual, handled last Friday evening's meeting skillfully and to the entire satisfaction of all. between Agamemnon and Achilles was splendidly presented by pupils of the over-age class. Ethical dramatizations by pupils from both the regular and over-age classes were very well done. Miss Freshney can not be too highly commended for the work, which she has done with the over-age group, and our people may point with pride to the work accomplished by the pupils of this group under her skillful training. We are impelled to ask what might not our people have accomplished in the past sixty years if they had been given the right of opportunity. The dance by Harriet Calloway and Herman McNeal and the minuet by Miss Calloway and George Glymph were beautiful. Miss Clara Breyer sang two solos and Mr. Miller gave a violin number accompanied by the orchestra. Altogether the program was exceptionally good, and though commencements belong to the pupils we cannot refrain from expressing our appreciation of the teachers who have so successfully called into expression the native ability of our children. The community and Miss Knuth are to be congratulated upon having among her corps teachers as skillful in training the retarded group as Miss Freshney and Miss Holmes. Breyer and Mr. Miller along academic and musical lines. We shall watch for the coming June commencement and urge everybody who is interested in the progress of our children to attend.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1925 When you recall what the American government has done to Hawaii, the Phillipines, Haiti and Santo Domingo, what do you think of this country's liberty boasts? --- March 5th is the anniversary of the death of our greatest and this country's first martyr, Crispus Attucks. The day should be observed by our people particularly, everywhere. If our loyal people at Dayton have the courage and determination that those of Springfield put on exhibition, several years ago, (and we think they have) they will surely win that school fight, too. They have right, the law and the Lord on their side. How can they lose? What in the world any member of the race, unless it be a job-holder or hunter, would want to attend the inaugural ceremonies of President Coolidge for is more than we can fathom. Those political boot-licking "jim crow Negroes" who are trying to work up a little of that sort of enthusiasm will not have much success and could be in better business. Lord, have mercy! Sam Fein (white), a New Orleans landlord, has been convicted for renting a house part to colored and part to white tenants. This was accomplished under a new law forbidding such practice. And still there are those who wonder "why Negroes leave the South" and thousands of whites "side-step" it. Add this to lynching, disfranchisement, a dozen other kinds of segregation, etc. etc. President Coolidge is not going to appoint any member of the race register of the U. S. treasury and those "Negroes" who are trying to make our people believe that he will do so ought to "have their heads examined". There is absolutely nothing Coolidge has said or done that could possibly lead one into believing that he would do such a thing. He has done much, however, to convince all that under no circumstances would he do it. The Gazette agrees with its esteemed conferee, The Pittsburg Courier, when it severely castigates Henry Lincoln Johnson and Perry Howard, Coolidge job-holders, for posing as representing our people when they made their presentation to C. Bascomb Slemp, retiring Virginia "illy-white" secretary to President Calvin Coolidge. Our people generally have much to "damn" Slemp for, and nothing to thank him for. The same holds almost as good in the case of Calvin "Color-Line". --- The students of Fisk University, Nashville, Jenn., have rebelled again against the autocratic and prejudiced rule of President McKenzie (white). They have done this before on divers occasions. This time about four hundred of them threaten to "strike", leave the university unless their demands are conceded. The New York alumni organization of Fisk is asking the removal of President McKenzie. This would, very largely indeed, "solve the problem," and, as we have said on several recent occasions, it ought to be done promptly for the good and welfare of the school. INTERMARRIAGES Mrs. Lucien Trigg Davis, "imperial lecturer for the women of the Ku Klux Klan", in an address at Oklahoma City, Okla., recently, said that "intermarrying was worse than murder" and that the "white race was being degraded by mixture with inferior races", etc., etc. Too bad, isn't it? And yet most of the "mixing" is forced on our people by southern whites, male and female. It has ever been so, too. Then, too, the wise PRIME SPORT NEWS men like Prof. Franz Boas, and others of his eminence, agree that the "mixture" produces a better "article" as a rule, in the large majority of cases, and of course cannot degrade either of the races participating in the "mixture". Some one ought to inform "Sister" Davis. She also said there were three thousand Afro-Americans in Chicago alone with white mates, male and female. **Tut Jackson to Appear.** Determined to stage a come-back to the satisfaction of Dayton fight fans, Tut Jackson, Washington C. H. heavyweight, has signed with the Dayton Gymnastic club for at least three days on Tuesday night. Tut was pitted against Fighting Joe Lawhan of Mansfield. "Tiger" Flowers is Suspended Philadelphia, Pa.—The state athletic commission announced, Saturday that it had barred Theodore (Tiger) Flowers of Atlanta, from boxing in Pennsylvania for sixty days for fighting Kajala Kic at Dayton, O., Feb. 5. Flowers, the commission announced, had been notified that if he competed against a boxer under suspension in Pennsylvania, he would be punished. St. Louis, Mo.—Our National Baseball League in session here, last week, voted to divide the pennant race into two halves of each game, each the winner of the first half capture the second half, then that club will be entitled to meet the eastern champions in a world series. Should the winner of the first half fall by the wayside in the second half, then the winner of each WHITE WIFE REFUSES. To Leave Her Husband—Both Under Arrest—Been Married for Months —She is Under Age. New York City—Mrs. Grace Dorsey, age 16, rejected all advances from her father, Antonio Richlo, an Italian, when he attempted to talk to her in the county court of Brooklyn, Jan. 29. B. Dorsey, 21, a member of the race, is the son of the late Jasper Dorsey, who amassed a small fortune as a longshoreman and money lender, who answered to answer a charge of abduction made by the girl's father, despite the fact that they were married, some months ago. Mrs. Dorsey eloped with Dorsey in July, 1924, and was married in New Jersey. She is considered one of the most beautiful Italian girls in the uptown section, and was a telephone operator at the time of her marriage. Mrs. Dorsey was remanded to the Children's society, and her husband was sent back to Raymond St. jail to await an investigation by Judge Martin. A MEMORIAL PROPOSED. Washington, D. C.—The Battle Monuments Commission would be directed, under a bill approved, Feb. 6, by a House Foreign Affairs Committee, to erect a $30,000 monument to commemorate services during the World War of the Afro-American troops who served with the French. The monument would be erected at Sechault, which was captured by the Ninety-third Division Infantry, with which Representative Hamilton Fish of New York, Republican, author of the bill, served as an officer. THOMAS' APPRECIATION. Hon Harry C Smith. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Harry;--To have earned the enconium you have bestowed upme in a recent issue of "The Old Reliable" Gazette is worth the labor of a life-time, especially when they come from a veteran fighter—a loyal and uncompromising champion of human rights like you. OUR IMMIGRATION FOR 1924. New York City.—According to the annual report of the U. S. Commissioner of Immigration, for last year, 12.243 Negroes were admitted to the U. S., that year. Among these were 52 carpenters, 507 clerks and accountants, 439 dressmakers, 815 stamestresses, 809 farm laborers, 59 engineers, 20 musicians and 116 teachers. Only 1,449 allens and 93 naturalized citizens of the race left the U. S. That "Alladin Cruise" The much heralded, much advertised, much talked of Alladin Cruise has, like many other unsound financial ventures, gone on the rocks of destruction and there crashed to pieces. In the wake of its failure is left behind the same line of gullible suckers that flocked to such quick money counters as those sponsored for by Ponzi, Koretz and J. Rufus Wallingford, only in this case it was not the poor hard working man that was caught in the tentacles of high finance, but the "blue bloods", the "know-it-alls" and wise ones.—Chc-tago Whip. Dr. John Louis Hill, author of "When Black Meets White" and chief promoter of the "Alladin Cruise", is a southerner (white). Harry Wills Resting. Hot Springs, Ark.—Harry Wills, heavyweight, who defeated Louis Firpo, is here recuperating and expects to return to New York at once, and sign up to take on Romera Rojas, the heavyweight of South America, in a star go of 12 rounds at Madison Square Garden, the latter part of this month.

Dabney, Editor, Cincinnati Union. Cincinnati, O., Feb. 6, '25. will meet in a series of seven games to decide which club has the right to represent the league in the world series. The same applies to second and third place clubs. The league will open, the first Saturday in May and close, Sept. 16. It will be composed of Chicago, St. Louis, Carson City, Birmingham, Memphis, Indianapolis, Detroit and the Cuban Stars, who are to qualify within thirty days. The Indianapolis situation remains somewhat clouded, as there are still two contenders for a franchise, with odd pointing to Warner Jewell. Those attending the meeting were: A. R. Foster, J. L. Wilkinson, R. Kent, Dr. G. B. Key, O. J. Gilmore, A. D. Williams, Warner Jewell, W. T. Smith, Joe Rush, S. Lewis, Geo. I. Hutchinson, A. Young, Dr. Jasper, Taylor, M. Dabney of Kansas City.

Expert's Cruel Verdict Arouses Her Ambition for More Learning. Iowa City, Ia.—Slowly becoming blind, with perhaps a year before his sight is blotted out, Alma Krager of Burlington, Iowa, a freshman student in the liberal arts college of the State University, has announced her determination to spend the last days before blindness in pursuit of her studies at Iowa. The facts of her pitiful situation were disclosed following the visit of a Chicago specialist who made an examination of her eyes and predicted what is next to a fatality itself. Nothing can be done to save her sight, it is said, and total blindness is within the coming year. The doctor's verdict came as a hard blow, but has not changed the girl's determination to spend her last days of sight in study here. Even now temporary blindness comes, yet she still holds her place well at the head of her classes. Lost summer Miss Krager received a severe shock when a bolt of lightning struck but a few feet away from her during an electrical storm near her home. "This, it appears, has affected the nerves controlling her eyesight and nothing can be done to ward off the impending blindness." WHEN MOTHER SCREAMS Child Badly Lacerated by the Great Bird's Tales—Fowls Also Attacked. Joliet, Ill.—About two weeks ago a posse of farmers scoured Will County for two huge eagles, which were killing hundreds of chickens and young turkeys. One of the pair was killed. The other disappeared, and the hunters finally abandoned the hunt. Wednesday morning Delmar Reeves, the 2-year-old son of David Reeves, was playing in the back yard of the Reeves home. His mother heard the child scream and rushed to the door in time to see an enormous bird clutch the baby by his dress and lift him from the ground. The mother screamed and the eagl'd dropped the child after the baby had been carried a few feet. The eagle's talons badly lacerated the child's flesh. Members of the farmers' posse have resumed their hunt for the dangerous visitor.

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 1910; restricting white workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by 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 on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed been examination, and having been telegraphed 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 Mellon and President Coolidge. North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and the segregation Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postposition segregation is rampant. The father of colored clersk work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafera for whites only, where these inferior white clersk can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clersk 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 clersk 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, stimulates all the more they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there segregated corporations are occupied in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very pres- ence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general, dressed in blue, to 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 contracts, quitches and accolades 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.) (Special to the Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the office's forces 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 of the office that may go but there is a few tables out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotion. Here, the law requires that employees pass 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 carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment no employee was allowed to 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 of my request, to be compromised of exist, and a request for the many my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND O SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 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 is so well settled upon it, and the contractors cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The tiazette) Washington, D. C. -Segregation in the bureau of engramming and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. 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 diso u raged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight. Our agency went to the crises. Oswald Garvey Villard, a lawyer 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 e 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 Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the publique. We are GATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age, normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior girls to the 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) Washington D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's, 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, 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 Negroes are so scarce there that they general complaint there is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and far further. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. The segregated clerks are forced to endure severeience at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates with diners with space to spare; but and 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 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 attach for our efforts. The department 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 hardly cold before the effort to indict the governor was made; here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcaus War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. 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 after over 9000 of 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." We 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. OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279.

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 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. A person shall constitute a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lyching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whipbees, miserable or any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281.

(98 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, 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, or there being no 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. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6228. 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 injures or killed by such person v 6228 8. Section 6224. 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. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to inquire of the court of the county the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6288. If the decedent of lynchened has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v 162 8.) Section 6287. The county in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against the legal person of a person killed 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: BS. sed. g. representative of victim of lynching bury by mob trying to lynch another and costs in tax levy. s. hast member of mob. hast 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 negligence not less than thirty day county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse 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 therelin. (93 v. 163 12.) 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 editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12840. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public convenance by land or water, theater or museum, public art gallery, 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. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay the penalty for any violation of 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 Missed 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, O.., April 25, 1919. Hon. Edgar C. Hayden, Editor in Chief, Editor The Gazette. Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: St. Observing your letter, to the Editor, I am pleased 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 that was going on, I would have been in 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. 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! r Reading i r Reading a 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 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. $800 in Three Hours After Putting on Good Luck Ring.
