The resignation of Col. Little and other officers, followed a combined fight in which it was contended that our officers should command the regiment. . New York City. In "In the Nation," Luis Munoz, Marin in an article entitled, "Porto Ribe, the American Colony," states that this tiny island is the only one of America's possessions in which the color question has been successfully handled. He says in part: "From the middle class down, the union of white women to brown or black women is not unusual enough to astonish or enrage anybody, and the union of black or brown women to white men is of course more frequent. Discreet instances of both varieties of intermarriage may be found in the highest social pinnacles, where the prejudice against people of Negro extraction finds, expression in drawing-room whispers of 'What are we coming to?' Lynching and the humiliation of Negroes by statute are unthinkable. There are no segregated districts, though the general division of labor brought about by climatic conditions has assigned the mountains to the white man and the coast to the white and black. 'Jim-Crow' cars would seem as treakish as a man with two thumbs on one hand and eight fingers on the other. A white Porto Irene sonator once traveled through Virginia with two Negro friends in the black man's car and justified his presence to the conductor by claiming Negro blood. After close scrutiny the conductor decided to throw a curtain proportion of the school teachers are of Negro and mixed education and they give their services to black, brown and white indiscriminately. White, Negro and mulatto lawyers, physicians, journalists, poets, politicians, philosophers lead a common professional and spiritual life. One of the ablest and most respected leaders of the Republican party (the party that stands for Americanism and usually for statehood) was Dr. Barbosa, a Negro physician. A newspaper in Ponce employed Carrion Maduro, a well-known Negro writer, as editor with a white staff under him. Our most expressive composer was Campos, a light mulatto. Men of both races get along quite well with another in all social strata. It is the women of the upper classes who offer the most stubborn resistance to a complete acceptance of the tolerant spirit that dominates our racial relationships. This acts as a strong determinant of the tendency of whites to marry whites and of blacks to bring lighter blood into the family. The 'Coolidge' American authorities, in so far as they may act, without fear of raising a hullabaloo, introduce segregation, as in the national guard." Additional Local The remains of John Cox, age 29, of the E. E., who died recently (pneumonia), were taken to Ravenna for interment. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Cox, Sr., "moved here from that place about 18 years ago. He is survived also by four sisters and three brothers. A very pretty souvenir post-card, received last week, from Los Angeles, Cal., announces the arrival there of Mr. John Cox, who joins his Cleveland, several years ago, going East. He writes: "No doubt you will be surprised to hear from me at this time and to know that the wife and I have been in California since October. We have had a delightful time all winter. Have visited San Diego, Pasadena and several smaller places. Also Tijuana, Mexico. Hope this will find you well and business good".

Equal opportunities in industry for our people and whites, is included in "the principles of Christianity and the golden rule," said Atty. Alex H. Martin, chairman of the interracial commission of the Federated Churches, in an address, last week Friday, at a meeting of the commission." The church should take a more active part in proclaiming the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man in application to the interracial situation in industry. Discrimination, which exists against the employment of Afro-Americans, presents a serious problem", lie continued. An interracial conference will be held under the auspices of the commission, during the week of May 4. Speakers will include Mr. Martin, HdV. H. M. Kingsley and Prof. Herbert A. Miller of Ohio State university. Reports will be made by special committees, on a survey of interracial relations in Cleveland; on promoting better understanding and closer co-operation between our and the white churches; on law enforcement in mixed communities of both races; on the treatment of our people in the courts and penal institutions, and on the social and recreational activities in our churches. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ROLAND HAYS ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST TENORS It is rarely that one finds a white man who has a sensible, true conception of the Negro. He thinks of the Negro as a comedian or a clown, who is always doing funny and foolish things. The blackface of vaudeville to for him a sufficient and all-embracing picture of the Negro race; he solidly reflects that the perfectly white adopt in stage foolery might as reasonably be defined as the type of light-skinned mankind. Again, the man who happens by no choice of his own to be white is prone to think of the Negro as a born slave so designed by Nature, and having been in a condition of slavery from the beginning of time. He is ignorant of Negro history; of the story of Negro civilization in Africa; of the importance of the Negro in the ancient world, and until the development of the extensive slave trade. The current American-white view of the Negro is simply a product of the institution of slavery. Yet the Negro is not going to remain a slave even in spirit, no matter if others persist in regard him as a creature of slavish quality. And I wonder how white men, who observe the increasing evidences of Negro culture, can still fail to recognize (or refuse to concede) the very normal and sound character of the Negro. For example, a letter that. I receive from Charles A. Stark (1803 E. 18th St., Kansas City, Mo.), should give pause to any one who sees the Negro as a funny or low creature—the kind of man who laughs at the Negro and exploits him and says, "I have nothing against him if he keeps his place." What, I wonder, is the place of Mr. Stark? It appears to my unbiased gaze that his place is among intelligent men. Mr. StarR writes: "We have contributed something original to American civilization in music, art and science. Many critics say that America's only original music is the Negro music. America has produced no greater artist than Henry O. Tanner, an originator of artistic ideas. Roland Hayes is possibly the world's greatest tenor of today, based upon this distinction: he can sing the songs of his race with native ability, that no white man can possibly do, then with a superior musical culture he is interpreting the so-called classics in French, German and Italian with a degree of fine art excelled only by a few in the past. Indeed, it is stated that the great Caruso took lessons from Hayes in learning the celebrated tremolo. The Negroes have some two thousand inventions to their credit in the U. S. Patent Office. "It is my idea that all races contribute more or less to the advancement or confusion of progress, and that no race can boast of all normal units. The great liberal-minded geniuses best exemplify the human race.

IN UNION IS STRENGTH THE COPY FIVE CENTS Artist OF OUR RACE E OF THE WORLD'S T TENORS Comment on the Average Reception of the Negro by Race or Group my religion'. Another, the whitest of the white, was liberal enough to say to an unprogressive element. 'If you will not progress, then stand aside and let the deserving Negro pass'. "We do best by studying the ideals of others, regardless of race. Thus it was no disgrace for the Greeks to borrow certain established, civilized facts from black Egypt, and Moses could hardly be censured for the advertisement which proclaimed him as being 'learned in the wisdom of the Egyptians'; so the Negro should not be ridiculed for imbibing a culture by which he is surrounded in America, when he more or less has succeeded in its appreciation. "The whites are terribly carticulating the Negroes. The Associated Press and the movies are the big mediums, used for this—the press overly and subtly by its omission of the larger, good concerning Negroes and its exploitation of bad concerning them. The movie attitude encourages scenes depicting Negroes running from ghosts, shooting craps and the like, but is too intolerant to ever show any elevated life among these people. This looks like some one is afraid of the real ability of the Negro to progress." The accusation is true that in the movies and in popular fiction the Negro is presented in a false comical light. It is interesting to consider this "typical" Negro of stage and story, not as a real type of the Negro race, but as a type of that artistic poverty and shiftlessness which repeats certain cheap and easy effects for lack of imagination. It is so easy to get a bit of comedy through the introduction of the funny black man. It is depressing to run across this stock character of Negro whenever one enters a theater and particularly the pseudo-Thespian precincts of vaudeville. As Mr. Stark says, this Negro is always observed running from ghosts, shooting craps, engaging in tall talk, and alternating between attitudes of servility and silliness. He is never by any chance given the role of a true human character with whom we can sympathize and in whom we can gimpse the heart, not of a race but of the race—the human race. Contrast the viewpoint of Mr. Stark with the viewpoint of many white men filled with the kind of racial pride that marks limits rather than strains for achievements. Mr. Stark sees that the great liberal minds, triumphing over false and cruel distinctions, best represent the human race. He sees in the mingling of cultures, in the free interchange of the good qualities of all races, the real wisdom of progress. This in truth and beyond cavil has been the way of progress; and no race is free of indebtedness to other races—including the Negro race, which has both given and taken the gifts of culture.—Haldeman-Jullus Weekly, *Girard, Kane*. PRIME SPORT NEWS Browns Win From Tellings. The Tellings Triple A baseball team (white) struck a snag, Sunday afternoon, at Hooper field, going down before the Cleveland Brown's 9 to 3, in an eight-inning game. The Brown's scored four times in the first inning and were ahead all the way. Weak pitching and fielding hampered the Tellings. In sharp contrast to the poor playing of the Tellings was the mid-season form exhibited by the Brown's. The pitching of Fields was superb and he was given splendid support by his teammates, Bobo Leonard and Morrison being in leading roles. The former chased a fly up the hill in left center and captured it, turning, a somersault while Morrison caught a foul ball while tumbling over a bench beside the dugout. Barnes, Summers and Ellis of the Brown's each made a two-base hit, while Schlee and Divis of the Tellings did likewise. Bailey and Dornkott pitched for the latter.

SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1925 The revival at Phillips chapel, C. M. E. church, Rev. G. M. Noble, pastor, is attracting a great deal of attention and meeting with exceptional success, it is reported. Mrs. L. J. Jordan, of Millersburg, Ky, is preaching, every evening. Italians in Africa slaughtered a few hundred defenseless natives, the other day. In this way only, it seems, they can get even for the stinging defeat the Abyssinians gave them, years ago. Some misguided "brother" from N. Y. City, a delegate to the national meet of spiritualists, in session at Labor Temple, Tuesday, urged the "jim crowing" of Afro-American spiritualists, doubtless at the behest of prejudiced "spiritualists" (white). Twas ever thus. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt, last week, of an invitation to attend the graduation exercises of The Harlem School of Nursing, of Believeue and Allied Hospitals, N. Y. City, Thursday evening of this week, at St. James church, that city. A reception at the nurses' residence there followed the exercises. Miss Mabel D. Parks of this city, stenographer in the office of The Gazette, several years ago, was one of the graduating class. Congratulations, Miss Mabel. Now the spiritualists "have gone and done it". With the help of a Negro tool from New York City, they held a national meet of their "Negro" members in this city, this week, and practically divorced them from the national organization by giving the "Negro" in question a couple of hundred dollars and telling him to have himself elected to head a "jim crow" spiritualist organization. His fourteen delegates ("Uncle Toms") from N. Y. City stood with him while the other eight fought the separation to the bitter end. As we have taken occasion to say many, many times in the past, the W. M. N. (white men's Negroes) are the bane of the race. Fine spiritualists (?) are they who have prejudice in their hearts. Our students of Lincoln High school, Kansas City, Mo., were not permitted to show their musical prowess to the convention of the National Music Supervisors, in conference there, last week. Nevertheless, our public school children of that city, including of course the students of Lincoln High, sang before the 3,000 music teachers and supervisors from their perch in the second balcony of convention hall, where they were forced to sit. There are "jim crow" schools in Kansas City, with "Negro" teachers. Lord have mercy! What won't some of our people do, to the entire race, for an opportunity to promote their selfish personal ends? It is enough to make Frederick Douglass, John M. Langston and other real leaders of the race, in their day, turn over in their graves. ANNUAL CLEAN-UP WEEK. April 27 to May 2 is annual cleanup week and The Gazette urges our people generally to observe it in a proper manner. All the community betterment forces in the state have united to promote this work. Next to moral cleanliness comes physical cleanliness. Both are absolutely necessary as all know. So let our folk see to it that no other group in their community surpasses them in the extra effort to be made next week to improve their immediate vicinity and more. Here in Cleveland, there will be a parade today, Saturday, of the city cleaning forces. The merchants will give window displays advertising the campaign. Posters and pamphlets will be distributed. Landlords will be urged to have entrances and halls of apartment houses cleaned. People are being urged to clean houses inside and out, clean the yards, put rubbish in holders and clean the side-walks. The city will collect all rubbish in holders and clean the streets. The Gazette is assured that with the proper sanitation secured, the next attack will be on the vice-breeding spots, particularly those in wards 11 and 12, and this seems almost too good to be true. The Lord knows and we do also that it is high time such action was being taken not only by the community betterment forces but also by the authorities of Cleveland. Continual demands of the city council for more money to carry on municipal business have increased Cleveland's taxes more than $2,225,000 during the past year, according to a report issued, last week Wednesday, by County Auditor Zangerle. The general increase in taxes in the state for the past year was $5,500,000, leaving Cleveland's increase more than a million dollars higher than that of all other cities and villages combined, the auditor declared. The growing load on taxpayers was blamed on increasing demands of council for money to operate the city government and put through improvement projects. The auditor declared Cleveland has failed to heed the call for economy which has kept down taxes in other communities of the state. Cleveland's per capita tax is $10 per citizen over that of other communities. The local tax is $5 per head, while the rate in the rest of the state does not exceed $42.55. We call our people's attention to the foregoing particularly because the City Council is getting ready to try to float another two or three million dollar bond issue, this fall, which will mean even higher taxes, and higher rentals than are now being charged and the Lord knows our people get the worst of the rent-charges in every community in which they live. We simply must pay more attention to these things and use our ballots far more intelligently than we do, in an effort to protect ourselves in these matters of vital concern. They are vital because they reach right into the very heart of every home, whether you pay rent or taxes, and affect even the food you eat, both as to quantity and quality. High rents and high taxes mean less food, clothing, etc., and an inferior quality of all. It is time, too, that our ministers begin to enlighten their congregations along this line. County Auditor Zangerle has performed a public service, in issuing the above warning, the value of which cannot be overestimated and for which he is entitled to the thanks of the community. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours—George W.

TO BE TRIED OUT IN LOUISIANA Agricultural Department Experts to Test the Method in the Corn Fields. Washington — Officials of the department of agriculture are greatly interested in reports received from Hawaii, to the effect that one of the big sugar companies has adopted as a regular field practice the system of destroying weeds by use of an arsenic poison spray instead of by hosing. Experts who have conducted experiments on Hawaii sugar lands estimate that by the spraying method a saving can be made in labor of $15 to $30 an acre per annum. The latest development along this line in Hawaii are discussed in a letter received from Prof. H. P. Agee, director of the experiment station staff of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' association. Before going to Hawaii, Prof. Agee co-operated with the department in experiments on Louisiana sugar land. The value of this method in Hawaii is very great, because of the fact that, like most tropical regions, the islands are subject to torrential rains. The less the surface of sugar and other lands are disturbed by cultivation the less chance there is that heavy rains will wash off the top soil or immediately beat it into compact form. A few years ago the department of agriculture issued a bulletin dealing with the weed factor in the cultivation of corn, following a series of experiments extending over several years, which apparently established the principle that it is the removal of the weeds rather than the cultivation proper that contributes most to the production of the corn crop. A series of 125 experiments were conducted covering many states. On some plots the most approved methods of cultivation were employed, while on other plots there was no cultivation whatever, the weeds being eliminated by surface scraping with a hoe. A general average of all these experiments showed that the plots that were simply weeded produced 95.1 per cent as much fodder and 99.108 per cent as much grain as those that were subjected to the most approved methods of cultivation. The arsenic spray method will be given a trial on corn land in Louisiana this year by experts of the office of Farm Management in co-operation with local authorities, with a view to determining whether it is not available for use in that region, where climatic conditions to some extent approach those in Hawaii. At present it is not believed that the arsenic spray can be generally employed throughout the United States on corn and other lands because of the great difference in climatic and soil conditions. In Hawaii the spray is applied to the weeds with great care, since if it touches the leaves on the cane they are immediately destroyed. When carefully applied, either by a hand spray or by a spray consisting of an oil barrel attached to a stone sled especially constructed for the purpose and pulled by one mule, there is no danger to the cane. Frequently it is necessary to follow the sled spray with a hand spray in order to kill the few weeds that are not reached. The results of the spraying method have been so satisfactory that experiments are being conducted with a view to improving the some what crude implements now in use. WOODEN LEGS FOR DUCKS. His Latest Improvement Is Rubber Webs for the Artificial Members. Benzoina, Ariz.—You can not tell Benn Lewis, who lives over Beauh way, that kindness does not pay. Last fall Ben was over on Grass Lake duck hunting. He found in the reeds a wounded mallard. One leg had been shot until it was hanging by a thread of skin. Ben amputated the injured leg, fed the mallard and before long it was hopping around the barn lot with the domestic ducks. Later Ben became attached to the bird and made it a wooden leg with a paddle on the end so it could swim better, because with one foot it usually went in a circle. In the fall the mallard flew south- ward. Ben thought no more of it until last week, when the mallard returned with seven other mallards, every one with their leg shot off.

CO-OPERATION IN Girls Learn Boys to Saw and Boys Instruct Girls in Garden Work —Proud of Teacher. Macon, Ga.—Over at La Porte, Macon county, is a district school operated like a partnership concern. The teacher and members of the board are the directions and the students are "stockholders." Miss Goldyke Ready is the teacher. She draws $60 a month, the top salary paid district school teachers in Macon county, and has proven herself worth every cent of it and more. On taking employment as teacher of the La Porte school Miss Ready laid down the principle, which the board heartily approved: "There are to be no bosses; all of us are to form an active working company for the purpose of education." That meant the student was to be a factor in the upbuilding of the school as well as the board and the teachers; each was to be held individually responsible to do his or her part in the adding of features, of ureserving order and of aiding in instruction. It was to be just like a good, big family, all earnestly on touching a given point. Now there is a sewing machine and the girls aid the boys in learning how to sew on buttons and mend rents in clothing. The boys help the girls in manual training and in garden work. Of course Miss Ready is the active supervisor and directing head of it all, but her method is to implant in every pupil a strong sense of individual responsibility and a personal pride in making La Porte the banner district school of the county. The students and board members look to this partnership school idea enthusiastically. If Miss Ready took a notion she needed anything to add to the attractiveness of the school, or to aid in the work, she had a dozen persons eager to get it for her. An organ, sewing machine, sewing tables and chairs, paper for the walls, cement walk and porch, grading of the yard—all were willing and generously provided by the patrons of the school. Miss Ready has among her older students what she calls an "advocacy board." On certain days in the week she meets this "board" of eager young folks and they discuss ideas calculated to advance the work along practical lines. Several school journals, newspapers and farm magazines are taken and read by the pupils, and things which have been found advantageous in other sections of the country are considered with reference to their adoption by La Porte. The members of the board are proud of everything connected with the school, but are particularly so as regards their competent and enterprising teacher. The La Porte co-operative school is equipped with a good furnace, ventilation and has a good light system for night entertainments. This is one of the interesting features. They not only have weekly debates, musical and literary entertainments, but the fame of the school has traveled so far afield that whenever Miss Ready destres she can get the attendance of amateur actors from the normal schools to present short comedies and dramas. The school is practically a community center for all sorts of meetings, but it's main success and development lies in the establishment of the cooperative principle, by which each unit is a working factor beyond the more learning of lessons and the keeping of deportment. "Our idea is based something on the action of the American soldier," explained Miss Ready. "While thoroughly obedient to discipline, he is of greater capacity than just a machine. He has an individual interest in the outcome of the battle. By right of this he takes a personal pride when he wins, just as he feels a personal disappointment when the result goes against him. It is the soldier principle applied to the schoolroom—and it works!" SKYSCRAPER JAIL A MODEL. Baths, Washed Air and "Box Stalls" Provided for Prisoners in 10-Story Building. Dallas, Tex.—Dallas recently completed skyscraper jail is declared by prison experts to be one of the finest in the country, embodying the latest ideas of construction for the humane treatment of prisoners and the most highly approved equipment to insure sanitary surroundings at all times. This new building is 10 stories high and houses the criminal court as well as serving as a jail for Dallas county. Tub and shower baths are everywhere in the building and absolute cleanliness will be demanded of the prisoners. Pure washed and cooled air is supplied to every corner through tubes. The halls and corridors are artistically finished and steel cages are found only adjoining the sheriff's office on the first floor. The tent floor has been fitted up as a kitchen. One of the most commendable departures in the new jail is the method of punishing prisoners. The "water cure" will be used in most instances, but unusually rebellious prisoners will be confined in the "box stall," which is substituted for the "black hole" in which they formerly languished in total darkness. The box stall is so arranged that the occupant cannot lie down and there is no place to sit, but it is flooded with light. A novel usually ends with the marriage of the hero and heroine, just as if that was their finish. There's nothing beats the old fashioned tintype if you want a truthful picture of yourself. A wise woman refuses to ask her husband to accompany her to church if he talks in his sleep.

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.) lence of the colored, to attend a re Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is imore 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, un- der President Wilson; _ increased, still further, under President Hard- ing; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the pres- ent administration has found time and desire to introduce it even tere. ‘To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft m- troduced it in the bureau of engrav- ing. 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, an- nounced in his official capacity that ‘Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Ses- regation, then, is a Republican in- stitution and not a Democratic one. Ht was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing ex- tent by Republicans! ‘ ‘There is far more of it in the de- partments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil serv- ice, which makes it next to impos- sible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the clvil service, since their color is disclosed in their photo- graph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photo- graph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to ap- et ee an ‘she appeared, and saw her complerion. Commis- stoner 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 spec- fal favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails trom North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the seg- regation forces, Col. Sherrill, super- {ntendent of buildings and grounds. Ei TS tn = oma ‘The colored people here who know the President could destroy segre- gation fn the departments of the governthent, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a Joss 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 fs not a firm: be- Lever in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief ten- ets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its “welcome home” in the Republican party, and recelves no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Wuskinbtes. D. C—ta the posto fice segregation is rampant. Th « faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical @isadvantages. The department maintains @ spacious cafteria for Whites only, where these inferior white can. buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while ‘eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold Iuncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfors, disadvantage- ‘ous as it 4s, is far leas galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, es it takes those of the whites, for ‘the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. ‘The injustice stings all the more when they reflect thet they aro far more capable than the whites, and ender the government more iatell!- gent and efficient servico—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employ- ‘ment. ‘The department goes even farther fm Ite soliciende for whites and neg: Ject of colored. It maintains a ‘appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comforte ble Jounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these eame colored em- ployees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the peo- ple, In the locker rooms there is segregation, and sogregstion is even ‘attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the mont dependable and faithful employees. ‘Last year the white employees passed around {invitations to the ‘white employees, in the very pree- ence of the colored, to attend a re- ception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant sgeial evo ning with the officials for “the post- office employees,” yet not one was @elivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the post- master to invite tho colored as well ag the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. Tt is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their ex- amination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the serv- fee, must ever dream of a promotion toa 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 mail. The col- ored clerks have dared to form a union which meots 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 tor nothing else than the color of their skim. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The govern- ment printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferier positions there on ac- count of the: better and more lucra- five avenues of employment being closed to them because of their col- or The whites are generally of very mediocre group, far from equal ing our girls in educational equtp- ment, culture, and working efficien- ey, 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 {s a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. Tam glad to say that few, very few, four people patronize ‘the place, preferring a little physical incon- ‘venience to the open, sem!-public hu- miliation of segregation. In tollet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work astignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation fs in fall force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the inferior whites Dass over our superior employees to @freetive positions, and higher sal- aries. ‘The whites have a large recrea- tonal center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements, Durng 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 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 ab- ruptly 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 dismiss ed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance in-| cident a fire broke out in the office, He was quickly accused of setting the buflding afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. De- tectives came to the building to ar- rest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to dis- cover the pistol. They quickly drop- ped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons tor which he was immediately dis- missed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that thelr government (under President Coolidge) ives them. Many of the employees have ex- pressed their deeply-wounded feel- ings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose in- stitutions they are serving s0 faith- fully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that'the conditions complained of ex- ist, and a request for the names of my informants. Tknew the fate these informants would suffer s0 I have, never given a single name!! The de- partment then taking the position ‘THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, J. SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 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 goverament is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Genetie) OP aM Seca ica nS oma eee nee in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Wood- row Wilson and members of his fam- fly, three heroic young colored wom- en who lost their positions as a re- sult of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette, Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem- ber 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 not: ed 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 col- ored people to stay in their places.” Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette iodged a pro- test with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic in- novation, She took the platform here in Washington and Boston be- fore 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 na- tional gathering of the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. \ When our people here were so profoundly @iscouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Os- wald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and tho Na- tion 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, name- ly, the elimination of the colored iployes from the bureau alto- gether. ‘The same segregation which some ot our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party fs still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are em- ployed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the pub- lic service. THEY ARE SEGRE- GATED tn thelr rest rooms, tollets working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promo- tions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high ant normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there 1s no segregation for them in the great world of things. ‘They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. ‘The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of so- gregation. Our people are still hop- ing for the issuance of an order de- stroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but im- pairs the government service. (Snecial to The Gazette) ‘Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the Prest- dent’s recent acceptance speech, 1s now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. Tt ts to de remembered that the greai Hamilton came from the West In- dies, and in that long sweep of his- tory that the President traversed fare the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lin- coln's cabinet, who, in a national ex- tremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Obio’s master finan- eler, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! ‘The present head of the depart- ment of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not ap- pointed a colored clerk since his in- eumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted sev- eral of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that ‘the recent war necess!- tated, this is by far the largest de- partment of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Ne- groes are so scarce there that they ean’t be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there {s in the other branches of the gov- ernment—faflure 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 toflets, lock- er rooms, rest rooms, ete., set off for colored. "The tollets for the colored are few tn such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physieal inconven- fence at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they de- sire the use of them. The depart- ‘ment maintains a huge, magnificent afeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national drive- way, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and s0- clalize 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. It seats two thousand din- ers 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 registership of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield ap- pointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the col- ored people are congregated in a sep- arate room which {s publicly pro- claimed as “a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are “working as white” fn other divisions, they are promptly transfered 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 dilemna, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept se- gregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. ‘They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress com- pels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segrega- tion, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE’S SEGREGATION Washington, D. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight ‘against the segregation of our gov ernment employees, the Treasur3 Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation tn several of its bureaus has been mos pronounced. This Is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, beaver doard walls were maintained unt! recently. In tho latter there have been two cases of discrimination oz account of color brought to publi view. ‘The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to in- crease segregation in the depart. ments here was on again at full ‘speod. It had slowed up a little dur. ing the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An inyestigation of the executive departments and bureaus lated be low shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the ‘Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-Amert- can employees and the other with Mu. Navy Department — ohe segre gated section of 18 of our employ- ees, as well as a segregated lunch room, Census Bureau—a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employ- ees. Bonus Section Ronus section of the War Depart ment—ono segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segre gated section of 10 employees in the file room. | Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a seg. Tegated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the Unt- ted States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. 0. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segre- gated lunch room. IS If ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the anly Face, responsible members of which are in favor of sub- mitting to discrimination on the claim that thelr race “al- ways will be discriminated against." ‘The Jews aro still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- tion, and are winning even so- cial rights today. ‘The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than sub- mit. The race that says it’s of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. “Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by na~ ture without self-respect and have no ‘guts’. The world re- spects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abo- litionists, worthy of or own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of thelr race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native Iand, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to de- verve contempt.— Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

Woman Leaves to Claim Handsome Legacy Left Her By Man She Refetentad. | Atlanta, Ga. — Mrs. James Maner, living near Gilmore, on the Marietta car line, is planning a trip to Miami, Fla, to inspec: a legacy valued at $10, 000, left her by a tramp. ‘This does aust lend itself readily to the fancy, but this time fancy will have to brace up and take it like a man. Truth may be more of a stran- ger and all that, but the legacy is there, and traveling expeases for Mrs. ‘Maner to go down and view it—$50 in the hand, with a lot of legal assur- ance. “Bight years ago,” she said, “a man came limping into our front yard. He looked like a tramp, and then again he didn't look like a tramp—I mean his elothing was rogged and worn, and he was limping from an injury to his foot, and yet he didn’t have the man- ners of a tramp, if you could call them manners. “The man was penniless, he said, and in trouble. I felt sorry for him, I took him in and gave him some din- ner, and then 10 cents to pay his way to Atlanta on the trolley line. He seemed very appreciative, and insisted on taking my name and address down in a little book.” It seems that the tramp did not lose the little book. And after eignt years back came the bread from of the waters, only it was multiplied to a fold entirely out of step with serip- tural precedent. : ‘Mrs. Maner paid no attention to the first information that the legacy bad ‘been left her. it required an urgent appeal from a Miami lawyer and the proffer of traveling expenses to make her realize that an estate consisting of several houses and some land had really come her way at the expense of a dime, a good dinner—and a bit of the miJk of human kindness, KISSING ON STREET PROPER So Rules a Wise and Sympathetic Old Jurist.
