The judge intimated, when it was up the first time, two weeks ago, that this hearing would be the final one. All are "pulling" for Mr. Reese because his victory will mean our people are victorious in their fight on the "jim crow" annex to Garfield School which has been in use, some years. Something we ought never to have tolerated for weeks let alone years. The other "jim crow" school case is against the basement annex for our children at Willard school, something of more recent vintage. It should be an even easier victory.

Holbert of Columbus preached two interesting sermons at Wesleyan church, Sunday.-Lincoln PRESIDENT, COOILDGE'S WAR DEPARTMENT. Yields To Color-Prejudice—Denver War Veterans Condemn Revoking of Order Stationing 25th Inf. At Fort Logan, Col. Denver, Colo.—Lleut. Earl W. Mann, world-war veteran, and commander of Wallace Simpson post, No. 29, of the American Logon, located here, has sent to the N. A. A. C. P. a resolution passed by the post condemning the action of the war department in bowing to race prejudice by revoking its order stationing the 25th U. S. Infantry at Fort Logan because of protests received from prejudiced white residents. The war department had ordered the 25th Inf. transferred from field duty on the Mexican border, to Fort Logan. Shortly afterward this order was revoked. "The only reason", says our veterans' resolution, "as set forth for the repeal of the said war department order, commanding the 25th Inf., U. S. A., to garrison duty at Fort Logan, Colo., is in compliance with the wishes of certain citizens of Englewood, Colo., expressed and transmitted through the Englewood Chamber of Commerce." The resolution further states that "this complaint and objection to the garrisoning of the 25th Inf., U. S. A., at Fort Logan, is based solely on the color of the troops." Setting forth that this war department action constitutes an injustice, and an unwarranted reflection upon a body of loyal and well behaved U. S. soldiers the resolution concludes: "Resolved, That it is for the purpose of securing equitable treatment for the members of the 25th Inf., U. S. A., and for the protection and perpetuation of friendly relations between the white and colored people of America that we, the Wallace Simpson post, American Legion; the Denver Colored Civic Association, the Denver Ministerial Interdenominational Alliance, and the Denver Branch, N. A. A. C. P., respectfully and most earnestly petition our worthy and estimable President of the United States, our Honorable Secretary of War, and the Honorable members of the Congress of the U. S. from the "Centennial" state, to give these resolutions and petition their unbiased consideration and bring such influence to bear as will assure the garrisoning of the 25th Inf., U. S. A., at Fort Logan, Colo." The resolution was signed by: Lieut. Earl W. Mann, Commander Wallace Simpson post, No. 29, American Legion; E. V. Cammel, president, Denver Colored Civic Association; C. H.

See your members of the Legislature (Representatives and Senators) and make clear to them their duty to our people—to vote against the pernicious measure and help to kill it.—Aletha Chapman, of Washington, D.

Next weeks' attraction at the Columbia thouroir will be "Jimmy Cooper's Revue", an announcement that recalls one of the liveliest and most entertaining of Columbia burlesque to those who in previous seasons have flocked to Cooper's offerings of "white and black" programs of amusement. Cooper again heads his company in person, another assurance of an always-good show, for he is constantly on hand to see that everybody works—including himself the hardest worker of all. He has an original method when presenting his shows—original in that he was the first producer to combine in burlesque a show of our entertainers and white players; also in his frequent appearances on the stage, at unexpected moments, to "jazz" a scene or indulge in pleasant lore with his "Noll Brinkley Girls" of the chorus. The "black and white" show are separate items, on different parts of the bill, with our folks singing and dancing to the music of Julian Arthur's band of Afro-American syncopators. In the "white" class comes Cooper's personal supporters, all carried from vaudeville or musical comedy, to bring to Columbia burlesque new faces and new talents for entertaining. The Afro-American aggregation includes "Jazz Lips" Richardson, Octavia Sumler, Sam Cross, John and Jennie Dancer, Susaye Brown and Mantan Moreland. These "jazz hounds" have all seen service in our various shows and they bring to "Jimmie Cooper's Revue" a session of speed and dashing dance that reflects the native abilities of the race. Out of 36 Columbia burlesque that comprise the season's line-up, "Jimmie Cooper's Revue" is classed by itself for its originality and entertaining features. With a past reputation to maintain Cooper promises to excel himself in the forthcoming sessions of song, dance and merry burlesque that is just at hand. There will be a union service, Sunday at 3 p. m., at Phillips Chapel, C. M. E, church 2633 E. 63d St. St. Paul Zion A. M. E. congregation will worship there, its pastor, Rev. E. W.

The N. A. A. C. P. Asks Veterans Bureau Why Hospitals Reject Our Veterans—Medical Director Replies Promising Quick Action. New York City—Telegrams and letters have been exchanged by the N. A. A. C. P. and the Veterans' Bureau in Washington, over the case of Thomas Albert White, a war veteran, denied accommodation in goveran, denied accommodation in government hospitals because of his color. The outcome of the correspondence is that the Veterans' Bureau has ordered the prompt hospitalization of the soldier and has demanded a full report on the situation. The telegram reporting the facts, addressed to Hon. Frank T. Hines, Director of the Veterans' Bureau, is as follows: "The following facts have been reported to us. Thomas Albert White of 351 Artillery was sent by Veterans' Bureau of Pittsburgh on December 28, 1924, to U. S. hospital at Dawson Springs, Ky., accompanied by a white nurse. After reaching Kentucky, he was separated from his nurse and forced to ride in 'jim crow' car. Upon reaching Dawson Springs, White was told that no Negro soldiers were allowed there and was immediately sent back to Pittsburgh. White asked Congressman Clyde Kelly to get him admitted to the U. S. hospital at Beacon, 'N. Y., but was informed that colored soldiers were not admitted there. Consequently he is at home and is failing rapidly. May I request on behalf of the N. A. A. C. P. that immediate steps for hospitalization of Mr. White he taken? Will you also advise us if it is true that no Negroes are admitted to hospital at Bencon, N. Y.?" This soldier was gassed in France and sought his former employment upon discharge from the army, but was compelled by the illness resulting from gassing to quit work. In reply to the telegram E. O. Crossman, medical director of the Veterans' Bureau in Washington, wrote as follows: "This case was first referred to central office by the Pittsburgh regional manager on Jan. 23, 1925, with the request that this office designate an institution to which the patient might be transferred. In response to this request the local office was authorized under date of Jan. 31, to arrange for Mr. White's admission to the National Sanatorium, at Dayton, O., this being the only government tuberculosis hospital within reasonable distance from the patients home having facilities available at this time for the reception of cases of this type. It is not understood why hospitalization has not been accomplished and the regional manager of the Pittsburgh office has been instructed this date to expedite necessary action in this connection and to forward complete report of the action taken by that office in connection with the hospitalization of this patient. It is believed that Mr. White's hospitalization will be accomplished at an early date. It is regretted that there are no facilities available for the reception and care of colored patients at Hospital, No. 98, Castle Point, New York." The N. A. A. C. P. intends to find out why our patients are not received by the government hospital at Beacon, as admitted in Mr. Crossman's letter. Also why facilities at Castle Point, N. Y., are not also available to our soldier-patients. Additional Local The Attucks Republican club held its eighteenth annual banquet, Tuesday evening, at Mt. Zion Cong. church, honoring Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. Prof. H. A. Miller of Ohio State university, spoke on "Why Has Not the Millennium Come?", Dr. Leroy N. Bundy on "Lincoln and Douglass", Mrs. Margaret Barnes of Oberlin on "Our Women in Politics" and Councilman Tom Fleming on "The History of the Attucks Republican Club". Patrolman Peter Fromm, who was shot with his own pistol in a scuffle with two prisoners Nov. 25, 1923, died, last Saturday night, at Cleveland Clinic hospital. Fromm had arrested one of them for intoxication and was holding him at a call box at Central Ave. and E. 30th St., when the second demanded Fromm release his prisoner. In the struggle which followed Fromm was shot. He was in Charity hospital five months and never has been able to return to duty. His condition grew so serious that an operation was decided upon to remove a condition that the bullet had caused. He died after the operation. Fromm's assailant, Marion Pierce, 3528 Cedar Ave., and Louis Enls, 2317 E. 36th St., were arrested. Pierce, who admitted firing the shot, was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary, and Enls was given an indeterminate workhouse sentence. Fromm died, as a result of the wound, but as his death did not occur within a year and a day of the shooting, his assailants cannot be charged with murder. SINGLE COPY. FIVE CENTS TO END SEGREGATION IN THE DEPARTMENTS AT WASHINGTON, D. C. AND ELSEWHERE IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE. Strong Resolutions Sent From Massachusetts Douglass-Lincoln Anniversaries Meetings Asking This in the Name of These Givers of Freedom— Sinclair, Trotter, and Others, the Speakers. Boston, Mass.—From Lincoln day public meetings in several cities in Massachusetts, home state of President Coolidge and, of Republican Chairman Butler, held to commemorate the birth anniversaries of Abraham Lincoln, the emancipator, and of Frederick Douglas, our most noted abolitionist, and worker for freedom, by branches of our National Rights league, resolutions were sent to the President and copies to the G. O. P. chairman, asking that in the name of these saviors of the Union and givers of freedom federal segregation, he promptly abolished! The same occurred in other states. The most notable of these meetings in this state were those in New Bedford, home city of Chairman Wm. M. Butler of the National Republican Committee, and in Boston, where the President served as Governor. Dr. Wm. A. Sinclair of Philadelphia was the Douglass orator at the Boston meeting, where he urged such meetings for historic Afro-Americans since the public school histories omitted mention of them. He instanced omission of Peter Salem of the Battle of Bunker Hill and especially Crispus Attucks, first. American martyr, whose death he urged the race to commemorate March 5th of every year. Rev. D. S. Klugh, pastor of the People's Baptist church, where the meeting was held, presided. Rev. C. C. Somerville extolled Lincoln in a masterly, oration, and Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter read the resolutions which were adopted and closed as follows: "Especially do we appeal, in the name of Douglass and Lincoln, to President Coolidge (of Massachusetts), refuge state of Douglass; state of equality of rights, to restore to the race of Douglass in the national government he helped save under Lincoln and for which this race has ever fought and died, the freedom and civil equality enjoyed under the ATTUCKS LEAFLETS—FREE! American histories systematically omit mention of historic characters of our race. Very few state the race of Crispus Attucks, tell anything of his history or give due credit to the Boston massacre, where he gave his life-blood as the first American martyr. Hence the National Equal Rights League offers free Crispus Attucks leaflets in connection with its endeavor to have, the race everywhere observe March 5, annually, as its "Citizenship Foundation Day." These may be secured from the Cor. Sec. Wm. M. Trotter, 103 Court St., Boston, Mass., by old or newly formed branches, Equal Rights committees or any other bodies, for March 5th observances. K. K. K.'s Intermarriage Bill. Columbus, O. — Representative George H. Roberts, of Youngstown, where the Ku Klux Klan is large and active, has introduced a bill in the Ohio Legislature to prohibit intermarriage of whites with persons of any other race. Ministers would be prohibited from marrying white persons to those of a different race. Fines of $500 to $1,000 and imprisonment from three to nine years would be imposed on persons violating the law. The bill as a law would result in most harm to Colored women. Lost In a Mine: Logan, W. Va—Lost in the lower levels of the Low Ash Coal mine at Crown City, without food for nine days, John Robinson, an Afro-American miner, was rescued. Sunday morning, in a semi-unconscious condition, he went into the mine to repair a pump. His carbide lamp fell into a pool of water, and, being unfamiliar with the mine, he wandered aimlessly in the dark. "If you're lucky enough to have a job, hang on to it," is advice broadcast to workers by the American Plan Association. The number of jobless in the Cleveland district in February, these "good Coolidge times", is far in excess of January's number, in spite of "a 20 per cent increase in the number of available jobs", the association announced. For every job there are 100 applicants, the daily average of applications this month being 800. IN UNION IS STRENGTH LE COPY FIVE CENTS ed To MIGRATION S AT WASHINGTON, D. C.

Republicanism of Lincoln, Grant and Roosevelt and even under the democracy of Cleveland, until the sons of those who sought to disrupt the Union and perpetuate slavery gained control and in revenge introduced into the federal executive departments at the federal capitol race and color segregation, which degradation and humiliation we of Massachusetts ask the Republican President from Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter. our state, the state of Sumner and Douglass, to promptly abolish!" It was announced that the national body urges the race by old or new branch leagues, Equal Rights committees or otherwise to observe the anniversary of the death of Crispus Attucks, first American martyr, on March 5, the day after inauguration, as "Citizenship Foundation Day", and send anti-segregation resolutions to President Coolidge. OUR COMPOSER'S MUSIC New York City.—At the second of its three concerts of the season in this city, the International Composers' Guild, which specializes in the work of young modern musicians played a "Fantasy for small orchestra and three women's voices," by Wm. Still, an Afro-American composer, 29 years old, born in Mississippi. Mr. Still studied music at Oberlin college, then at the New England Conservatory and is now studying with Edgar Varese, one of the leading writers of modern music in New York City. Mr. Still has orchestrated the scores for a number of successful revues, such as "Shuffle Along" and "Dixie to Broadway." HEADS COLLEGE PAPER! Washington, D.

SATURDAY, FEBUARY 21, 1925 Now comes Coolidge's war department again bowing to race prejudice by refusing to send U. S. soldiers of color to Ft. Logan, Colo., after ordering them there from the Mexican border, because southern members of a Chamber of Commerce in some little town in that state wired the President and the war department not to do so because of "the color of the troops". And there are members of the race who are urging our people to attend Coolidge's inauguration, next month Lord, have mercy! You simply must give Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter of the Boston Guardian, Dr. Wm. A. Sinclair of Philadelphia and their associates in those "New England" Douglass-Lincoln anniversary meetings of the NationalEqual Rights League credit for their stand, out in the open, against "race segregation by the federal government". The N. A. A. C. P. has spoken. Now let all of our organizations throut the country join in the chorus and keep it up until the righteous action we seek is secured. --- Ku Klux Klan anti-intermarriage bills have been introduced in Ohio, Michigan and several other northern state legislatures. Their separate or "jim crow" school bills will soon follow. Is there anything that will make our people organize to fight to retain the citizen rights they still exercise? For many weeks, The Gazette has been urging a state organization that will work in harmony with our member of the Ohio Assembly. As yet absolutely nothing has been done along this line. Wake up! For the sake of your children, if not for yourselves, ORGANIZE IMMEDIATELY! Under Coolidge, our veterans of the World War are being refused admittance to certain government hospitals here in the North, as well as to all except one or two in the South. Also, our soldier-patients in all government hospitals, even the one at Dayton, Ohio, are segregated and even, separate toilets are maintained. All employees are white, too. Great (?) is Coolidge! Even the "Negroes" who were misled into supporting him in the recent national campaign will hardly want to attend his inauguration in the face of the foregoing, and more! "THE ENTERING WEDGE" As we said in a recent issue of The Gazette, the Phillis Wheatley home was started by a Mrs. Schofield (white), and other ladies of that group, to segregate our girls and relieve the local Y. W. C. A. from its responsibility to them. We warned our people of this community, telling them, at the time, that the P. W. A. was nothing more nor less than an "entering wedge", and so it is proving. The Gazette objected to the establishment of a "Negro" Catholic church because there was absolutely no need of such, but "Negroes" from the South who came to Cleveland in recent years, encouraged by prejudiced whites, WOULD have one, and now they are to have a "Negro" school in connection with it. Cleveland's first "jim crow" school, the "entering wedge", along a school line. - The Salvation Army Rescue home, that has always been open to girls of all groups, following the lead of the Phillis Wheatley home and encouraged by the Community Chest, to have a "jim crow" branch for "Negro" girls. And Booker T. Washington's "separate-as-the-fingers-of-the-hand" Atlanta speech—recommendation, for the South, "goes merrily on" here in the North, in Cleveland, if you please, with the assistance of "jim crow Negroes", mainly from the South, encouraged by prejudiced whites. The new head (white) of the local Presbyterian Union, recently from Baltimore, is said to have told the local Inter-racial Committee that he would oppose mixed schools and all other efforts to mix the races. If he is quoted correctly, he should be made to change these views or compelled to locate elsewhere. Here is some work for Presbyterian "Negroes" in Cleveland which all of our people here must assist. Wonder what the "Negro" members of that Inter-racial Committee told the gentleman from "Baltimob" when he delivered himself of his anti-mix talk? Wonder what those "Negroes" said who were called into conference by the Community Chest before it reached its "jim crow" Salvation Army Rescue home stand? It certainly would be well to find out who they are and what they said. It is high time our leading men and women were getting together for the purpose of combatting this perniciously harmful segregation effort prejudiced whites, aided and abetted by "jim crow Negroes", are making. Unless they do and promptly, too, it will not be long before our people here will have segregation "to their hearts' content" and Cleveland will have separate schools with the consequent loss of more than half of our public school teachers. Then will come "jim crow" street-cars and right here in Cleveland, too. PRIME SPORT NEWS A Fractured Jaw, New York City.—Before Jimmy Slattery, 20-year-old Buffalo middleweight, had shaded Jack Delaney, rugged Bridgeport tattler in a furious six-round contest, at Madison Square Garden, last week Friday night, Larry Estridge of this city, Aro-American middleweight, won from Warnie Smith, of Oklahoma, when the latter quit at the end of the fifth round or a twelve-round preliminary bout. Smith, who hails from Barriesville, Okla., had his jaw in three places, his manager announced after the fighter had been removed to Bellevue hospital. Smith claimed the injury happened in the second round. Howard and Lincoln Barred! Richmond, Va.—The members of the C, I, A, A., including Union, Petersburg, Shaw, Virginia seminary and college, St. Paul, A, and T. college of Greensboro, N. C., and Hampton Institute, met at Virginia Union university and unanimously adopted the following motion: "That the authorities of Lincoln University be informed that athletic relations between Lincoln University and members of the C. I. A. A. will be discontinued so long as Lincoln continues to play Howard University and Howard remains out of the Association. Further, that this motion becomes effective from its adoption." 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 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 our eyes 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. CHARACTER.

DOES ALL OWN WORK BY HAND Jake Becker Harvests Fifty Euchelia of Corn to the Acre on Flint Land Zine, Ark.—Jake Becker, a German giant living on a farm near here, has again won the record in corn production in this section, has saved a neighboring widow her precious crop of sorghum, is giving his daughter as good an education as the state can provide and is saving mules and hare-born much effort in the nearby mills. Jake stands 6 feet 7 inches without his shoes. He weighs 290 pounds, but is not all bone, sinew and muscle. Brains as well as strength he uses in the cultivation of his five acres of land upon which he has this year raised nity bushels of corn to the acre, despite one of the worst droughts in this section for years. He does all his work by hand. A small plow, invented by himself, he shoves along with arms and breast, breaking and cultivating land as effectively as a horse-drawn or motor propelled machine. He also has made many attachable pieces composing all the different plowshapes, which met the demands of his work adequately. He farms intensely, but scientifically. He attributes his record crop to shallow cultivation. Jake's land is on a hillside at a forty-five degree angle. It was originally covered with hard flint rock. He removed this, and three years ago he started to cultivate his ground, now as smooth as a law, and protected from washouts by carefully built terraces. Besides corn he raises cane and other forage, vegetables and fruit. Farmers with many times the land lake owens, who scoffed at his determination to make the little farm pay, are notting much less than he from their efforts. But he does not devote all his time to farming. Among sawmill mer he is counted as the best hand in the state because of his strength, and his services are always in demand during winter. It does not take a full logging crew or an extra mule team when is "logging." He handles a sixteen-foot log with ease, and loads them onto a wagon as most other men do with two by fours. A widow on Crooked Creek had her crop of sorghum—her living—ready for the molasses mill, without animal or motor power for the grinder. Jake learned of her predicament, loaned himself to the task, and his enormous shoulders saved to the widow her crop. He has one daughter, whose education is his hobby. Since his prodigious strength began to bring results much of his savings have gone toward buying her tutelage in the best schools of the state. He declares that if he continues to be blessed with strong arms, parental love and persistent endeavor, he will yet leave his family a substantial patrimony as proof of what can be done with a five-acre farm.

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 district in this city in 1910, white people, black people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, an 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 institution. He segregated to Republicans, and carried out to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored lady appeared after 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 and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina to the home of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical punishment. The department maintains a spacious caferla for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings at the more when they are perfect that they are not capable to 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, com for t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the lock room, good segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very pres- ence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks gave us the colored co-workers, 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 regularly and often sends manly, intelligent progeny to the postmaster and offers jobs 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 Washington, D. C.) The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure in the employees may go but there are the employees out of the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation passes over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he was abruptly stopped, and the young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a nigh-employee, hence a cared for employee, hence a victim of 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 discharged. Another employee our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a dental condition compared of exist, and the condition compaired of exist, 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, FEBRUARY 21. 1925 that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this inquisitive scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the inhabitants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their 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 discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. urge them to continue the flight, for morality was at the crisis, aswald Garrison Villard then moved 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 Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in the regular life service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age, normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even more excellent talent. The best girls that suit these serious positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to the Observer) Washington D.C. has the treasury department according to 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 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 demand of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scared that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among clerks and other employees 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 lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence the segregated clerks are trained to handle physical inconvenience at times, and travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the scene that the presence creates, that seat two thousands with space to spare; but not one 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 that our clerks must accept segregation and being 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 office of the registrar of segregation several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, beaver board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly before the other to imprint segregation on the bureaus 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 bureaues 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. regated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. 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 1000 years of universal institutionalization 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 no more than a race, but no more." 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.

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. At the violence mobs on the body of any person shall be a "lyching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279.

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-lyning laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lyning laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BBS. ed. g. representative of victim of lynching bury by mob trying to lynch another and costs in tax levy. a. inst member of mob. inst another county. from such county for safetykeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob magegence on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob (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 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 Core 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 entertainment 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, whether the owner, however violates the next preceding section shall be fined 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 in 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. Mislud 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 the 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, G., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Edited by Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter, to the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I am to send you an separate cover paper, Ohio Law. Laborer 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, there would have been no occasion to complain. The Court of 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.

Reading it, B ter Reading Dr. Jacob Heller Gives Result of 150 Treatments in New York Jewish Hospital. GREAT BENEFIT IN THE SYSTEM Pain Incident to Birth Serves No Purpose in Nature and is Unnecessary, His Belief. New York—While criticism has been made of the advisability of twilight sleep for women in maternity and some have been driven insane through the administration of the drugs necessary, Dr. Jacob Heller gives a report of 150 cases of twilight sleep in the Jewish Maternity Hospital, and says that none have suffered any permanent ill effects. Dr. Heller is supported by Dr. George O'Hanlon, superintendent of Bellevue and allied hospitals, who says that of half a hundred cases with which he is familiar there have been only good results, and that the only danger involved, is in the administration of the drugs, just as there is danger in the use of any powerful drug. Dr. Heller had precedent in more than 500 successful cases of twilight sleep through Dr. Gauss of Kronig's Clinic, in Freiburg, who brought the use of scopoleine-morphine anesthesia in labor prominently before the world. He used it in 150 cases drawn from private and charity patients, and in his report, which is published in the Medical Record, he concludes: "Our small series proves that, judicially used and with proper precaution, the method is capable of relieving pain in 90 per cent of cases, and tl at it is free from any danger to life or health of mother or child." Concerning the objection raised against any attempt to relieve childbirth of pain and suffering, Dr. Helter says: "It is argued that since nature, that encourages propagation in every possible way and manner, could not have been so cruel and inconsistent as to inflict untold suffering on half of the human race, or perhaps on half of living creation, and thus handicap her own work, if she had no distinct purpose in that pain and suffering; and that any interference with that purpose will be presented by her in some manner. Kronig tries to meet that argument by stating that a very great number of our present day women to whom twilight sleep is particularly beneficial, are so far removed from nature as to make their labor border on the pathological, and therefore, he says, interference is not only justified but clearly indicated. "In our opinion, subjective pain incident to childbirth serves no purpose in nature, but is rather an unnecessary result of an unchangeable natural law, that all severe muscular effort is accompanied by pain." In all of the treatments at the Jewish Maternity Hospital the technique followed at Freiburg was practiced without deviation. Dr. Heller describes the work, in part, as follows: When it was determined by the effect of the contractions on the cervix and membranes that the patient was in active labor, she was removed to a dimly lighted room, away from the general noise of the hospital. After her pulse and respiration, the fetal heart, as well as the frequency and duration of the contractions, were observed and noted down on record, she was given an initial injection of 1 c. c. of a 3 per cent solution of morphine-narcotic mecone, which is equal to half of the powdered drug. Through the same needle and without removing it she was injected with 1.5 c. c. of a 1,000 of 1 per cent solution of scopalamine hydrobromide, equivalent to 1-133 of a grain. One hour later a second injection of scopolamine alone, one-third of the original dose—that is one-half c. c. of the same solution—was given. Half an hour after the second injection the memory test was applied. If her answer was ready and clear she was given another half c. c. of scopolamine at once; if not, we waited with the third injection for the hour. She was then constantly watched and the injection of 1.5 c. c. of scopolamine repeated on the slightest sign of reappearance of memory until she was relieved. In 122 cases, or 81.3 per cent, we succeeded in obtaining a complete amnesia and an almost equal degree of analgesia. All that occurred during the time the patient was under the influence of the drugs was wiped out of her memory. "In 15 cases, or 10 per cent, we failed to obtain any marked results."
