Columbus, O. - For the first time in his career De Hart Hubbard, Olympic star athlete and University of Michigan, broad-jumper, was defeated here, recently, by Dowding, (white), of Georgetown in the running broad jump by one quarter of an inch, in the Ohio State relay carnival. Dowding's mark was 23 feet, 2 inches. Hubbard won the 100-yard dash in the local track record time of 9 8-10 seconds. He recently equaled the world's record in the 50-yard dash and is concentrating his efforts on dashes rather than jumping. A sprained tendon, sustained in Paris at the Olympics last year, is thought to be the reason for the change, as less strain is on the injured member in running events. Before the injury, Hubbard has been clearing consistently 25 feet and won the broad jump at Paris, hand-capped with severe pain, with a leap of 24 feet, 6 inches. Hubbard Wins 100-Yard Dash Philadelphia, Pa.—In the great international athletics contests held here, last week Friday and Saturday, Porrittt of New Zealand, “the other British invader” delighted the great crowd of more than 30,000 in attendance on Saturday with his victory in the second heat of the 10-yard dash. He left Q. W. Weeks, of Princeton, to the tape and was recorded in ten seconds flat. The field for the finals included Porritt; MacCready, of Princeton; Hubbard, of Michigan; Duell, of the Army; Cummings, of Virginia; Schoonmaker, of New York university, and Irwin of Ohio State. Do Herd Hubbard, the remarkable U. of M. athlete, proved the snag, however, for the New Zealander. The Michigan man was off like a flash and half way down the stretch led by five yards, but Porritt was gaining speed and rushed to the tape only two yards behind. It was a battle that brought the great assemblage to its feet choosing, and both men received ovations. Schoonmaker, of New York university, took third place. But Hubbard had to run the distance in 9 4-5 seconds, a fifth of a second slower than the world record, to win from the British flash. Porritt is credited with less than ten seconds in the recent Oxford-Cambridge meet in England. "NOBE" SISSLE FINED $50! Eubie Blake "Pinched", Too—a Member of "The Dream Girl" Company Falls To His Death. Toronto, Ont., Ca—Fay Bainter's party, celebrating the 100th presentation on the road of "The Dream Girl", a musical comedy in which she is starring, has been followed by the death of a member of her company and the arrest, on charges of violation of the Ontario temperance act, of two Afro-American musical comedy stars who were among her guests. Carl W. Lynn died, last week Thursday night, from a fractured skull, which surgeons said he apparently received when he fell down stairs after the party. Noble Sissle was fined $50 for violating the temperance act by illegally purchasing liquor. A similar charge against Eubie Blake was withdrawn. They are the stars of the cast of "The Chocolate Dandles". Given 100 Suits of Clothes. New York City.—By the will of Charles W.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Lincoln And Emancipation HEART - RENDING EXPERIENCES OF THE MARTYRED PRESIDENT Abraham Lincoln trusted in God, and in the people. In the long run, his confidence in both was fully justified. Yet the people were fickle then as now, and there were times when Lincoln walked in the dark, trusting in a God who seemed to have hidden himself. One of the most interesting and instructive incidents in Lincoln's troubled administration has to do with the terrible winter of 1852-3, after the Emanuelpion Proclamation had been issued and before it had gone into effect. If Lincoln supposed that his Emanuelpion Proclamation would be a political move, he was doomed to cruel disappointment. The proclamation succeeded in rousing the most bitter hostility of the pro-slavery element of the North, and by a singular inconsistency it seemed to give some of the extreme anti-slavery advocates a new ground for their attacks upon Lincoln. The North contained a very strong element which had little or no sympathy with the conduct of the war. The so-called "Copperhead" movement, which later manifested itself in deliberate plans for the overthrow of the government, was in 1862 a strongly intrenched political power opposed to the President. The friends of McChellan turned against Lincoln, alleging that he had first failed to co-operate with this brilliant general, and then ruthlessly removed him from command for reasons of political jealousy. Haters of the Negro professed to see in the Emancipation Proclamation the menace of Negro equality and of social demoralization. Extremes met. There was a considerable element in the North composed of those who were bitterly opposed to slavery, and who blamed Lincoln severely for not freeing the slaves earlier. Indeed, there were not a few who declared that the President, with what they called his customary evacuation, would find a pretext for recalling his proclamation before January 1, 1863. These people found common ground with those who blamed him for freeing the slaves at all. The Democratic party declared that the Emancipation Proclamation had now made abolition the actual purpose of the war. No longer, they affirmed, was the preservation of the Union the paramount object; the real purpose for which white men were expected to lay down their lives was to give freedom and social equality to the black man. This distinctly was not what they had undertaken to do, nor did they propose to do it. The Congressional election in Maine occurred early in September, 1862. Then, as in subsequent elections, the results of that state were closely watched. "As goes Maine, so goes the Union," had already become a proverb. Maine usually elected a Republican governor by a majority of from 10,000 to 19,000. In 1862, Maine chose a Republican governor by a majority of only 4,000, and, for the first time since there had been a Republican party, Maine sent one Democrat to Congress. Ohio voted in October, and sent to the National House of Representatives fourteen Democrats and only five Republicans. The Democratic vote in that state exceeded the Republican by a majority of 7,000. In Pennsylvania, where two years before Lincoln had had a majority of 60,000, the Democratic vote exceeded the Republican by about 4,000, and the Congressional delegation was divided. Indiana sent to Congress only three Republican representatives and eight Democrats. New York went Democratic by a majority of nearly 10,000, electing Horatio Seymour as governor. New Jersey, which had voted; Republican in 1860, went Democratic in 1862. Michigan remained Republican, but its majority was reduced from 20,000 to 6,000. Wisconsin divided its delegation evenly. Illinois, Lincoln's own state, went Democratic by a majority of 17,000, and her Congressional delegation was eleven Democrats to three Republicans. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois all failed to support Lincoln in 1862. The Emancipation Proclamation.

Chicago, Ill.—This city is all agoy over the latest sensation which happens right in the home of yellow journalistic sensations—the Chicago Defender. For a number of years the Defender has shrieked with sensations—sensations about other people. This week, it furnishes a sensation of its own. "They say" that the Robert S. Abbott Publishing Co., alleged publishers of the Defender, has found a $150,000 leakage right in its own office! Ye gods! after publishing the crooked deeds of other individuals and concerns, crookedness is alleged to have been found right in the home office of the peruvian of news of crookedness. That's what "they say", the "Dame Rumor", on which the Defender thrives. Cheyney Bill Lost Harrisburg, Pa.-The proposed bill to make Cheyney a special school for training our teachers and thereby take it out of the general system of Pennsylvania schools was killed here, last week, by an overwhelming vote. The school ought to be abolished. It promotes "jim crowism" and is not needed. $320,000 For Tenn. School. Nashville, Tenn.—The Tennessee A. & I. State Normal school, located in this city, is rejoicing over the appropriation by the legislature of $160,000 for additions to the plant. This appropriation is matched by a donation of $100,000 by the General Education Board and $60,000 from private sources, making a total of $320,000. William Conley Uses Few Curves in Striking Out 24 Men. To William Conley, a nineteen-year-old colored youngster from down on E. 40th St., goes the distinction of performing one of the most unique pitching feats, ever recorded on the Cleveland sandbots. Working on the mound for his neighborhood team, the Douglas A. C., last Sunday, Conley struck out twenty-four batters in nine innings in defeating the Joe's Meats, 6 to 0. Yes, he's a southpaw. "Conley isn't any full grown man having a lot of fun among the kids. He stands five feet, seven inches, and weighs 149 pounds, being not any over, and perhaps under, the average size for Class C, in which division the game was played. He doesn't appear very strong, but it was just speed—speed almost entirely—that set down the Joe's Meats one after another. 'Used only two or three curves' the 'whole game,' says Willie. A perfect game was spoiled by one pop single, one error, and six walks—Wille couldn't 'burn __em over all the time. Except by the catcher, the only putouts the box score showed were one apiece for the first baseman, second baseman, and shortstown. A funny thing about this Douglas team is that there are three other regular pitchers and Conley's turn won't come again for four weeks. In the interval he expects to sit, contentedly, on the bench, and watch his buddies try to fan 'em. Other members of the Douglas A. C., which made an excellent record in Class C last summer, are: Harvey Faun, catcher; James Hancock, first; Richard Calloway, second; Miles Woods, third; Claude Barclay, short, and Bill Davenport. Harry Whitley and Peewee King, outfielders. Albert Haynes is the backer-manager.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. LET'S HAVE A PILLOW FIGHT BEFORE WE HIT THE HAY, SIS OH! GOODIE! LETS!

SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925 Dr. Chas. H. Dyess, of Louisville, Ky., has killed himself. He cut his throat with a razor while officers of the law were awaiting him outside his door. Our people very rarely do that sort of thing. Is it a sign of progress? New York state has a new law that abolishes the term "illegitimate children" and substituting "children born out of wedlock" and prohibiting the use of other terms of synonymous meaning in statutes and court records of that state. No other state in the Union has such a law and every one ought to have. Congress should enact a similar measure if it has the authority to do so. It would do more to improve the moral status of Americans than almost anything else just at this time, and would be especially helpful to our people—a protection to our girls and women, particularly those in the South where they are regarded as the "legitimate" prey of immoral white men. When they know that their "children born out of wedlock" have a legal claim upon their worldly possessions equal with that of their children born in wedlock there will be far less immorality. TAUGHT "CRACKER" A MUCH- NEEDED LESSON. Out in Los Angeles, last week, a mob tried to lynch James K. Miller, a real man of the race, because he knifed beautifully a southern "cracker" by the name of M. Engebretsen of Hollywood and put him in a hospital. Engebretsen and Miller were passengers on the same street car. As a white woman entered, the "cracker" turned brusquely to Miller and ordered him out of his seat. Think of it—ordered him out of his seat! Lord, have mercy! Miller declined to be "cursed out of any seat". The "cracker" bully swore viciously at him. The two left the car at the same stop. Engebretsen got a club and started after Miller. In self-defense the latter drew a letter-opener from his pocket and proceeded to do his duty. The "cracker" was taken to the hospital with twelve cuts. Passengers on the car and other white cowards "rushed" Miller and but for the timely arrival of the police might have lynched him as that was their rallying cry as it is of dirty cowards as a rule. We know our loyal people of Los Angeles will see to it that Miller gets justice in the courts if it takes the rest of the year to do so. Meantime, another "cracker" has learned a much-needed lesson and realizes that even the southern Afro-American in the North is a vastly different person from what he is as a rule "down home" where he has no chance at all when he strikes a cowardly white bully or brute in the defense of himself or his family. May the Miller tribe of members of the race ever increase. COOLIDGE AND DAWES. During Boston's recent big holiday celebration, with Vice-President Dawes, great-great grandson of Caesar Dawes who rode with Paul Revere in that famous historical ride just prior to the War of the Revolution, as the principal attraction, not one word was uttered or a line printed indicating that Crispus Attucks, —Craft, Caesar Basom, Salem Poor and Peter Salem, our herbes of that memorable conflict and the days immediately preceding it, had done anything worthy of mention. Each one of these men of color rendered service to the country that equaled or surpassed that of Caesar Dawes and Revere. Surely our Vice-President knew this. Wonder if. "Segregation" and THE GEEVUM GIRLS "Lilywhite" Cal had a conference with him before he left for Massachusetts, recently. You will recall the President failed to talk to Secretary of War Wilbur, last fall during the campaign, until after the latter had "spilled the beans" out west on his contemplated speaking tour which was so abruptly ended with a call from the President to return to Washington, D. C., for a "conference". Unfortunately for Candidate Coolidge, Secretary Wilbur had given out advance copies of the speech he was never allowed to deliver even then he did reach the city in which it was to have been made. Those "Negroes" who supported Coolidge and Dawes, last fall, and ever since have been "standing with their hats in hand and the other mit out for a job" have certainly been given the "icy stare" and "cold shoulder" in every conceivable way by the Coolidge administration since the election, until now they are the "laughing stock" of the sane and sensible of the race throut the country. Some day, we hope, the loyal of our people will find a way to deal properly with such "Negroes" —the kind that would "swamp" the race, if it were possible, in an effort to promote their selfish ends, to get a job as a rule. Meantime, we are patiently waiting to see what Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter of the Boston Guardian will have to say about that "big holiday celebration", recently, in his city. ROSCOE AND LINK. Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons writes: "Mr. Coolidge could make a hit with many millions by sending the name of Johnson (Henry Link) to the Senate". Send his name to the Senate for what? What "millions" would it "make a hit" with? (One of Roscoe's little jokes.) Still "begging" for a job—Coolidge "Negroes!" Roscoe was one of them and Link Johnson, another. The President isn't going to do anything of the kind. That is perfectly clear to everyone except begging Coolidge "Negroes". Then, too, Link and Roscoe got all that was coming to them, last fall, during the campaign, and Ohio Afro-Americans will not soon forget Link's sneering references at that time to their effort to nominate one of the race as the Republican candidate for Governor of this state. "Negroes", with self and race respect, will NOT go to color-line Luna park to dance or for any other purpose, if they know how our people are mis-treated there in its dance hall, roller-skating rink and swimming pool. It has long been a mystery to us why the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. does not take the management of that park into court and punish it severely under our Ohio Civil Rights law and thus put a stop to the insulting and humiliating discrimination against our people only practiced at that place. Come, President Clayborne George of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., let's have some action! --- VIRGINIA ISLANDS "FRICTION". The Coolidge administration, and its "naval control" of the Virgin Islands, have visited upon the natives of those islands an extra infliction in the shape of several southern "crackers" as officials who have done their "dirtiest" to make Virgin Islanders submit to the kind of mistreatment so very many of our people in the South are compelled to stand. The result has been constant friction and trouble in the Virgin Islands because the people there will not quietly submit to be made doormats of by the American "crackers" and their prejudiced co-workers. The latest is the continued persecution of Rothschild Francis, editor of the Virgin Islands Emancipator, who has been cited for contempt by District Judge Geo. W. Williams for the publication of an article in his paper which does not mention names or circumstances. It simply discusses Francis' "conviction", last January, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925 for alleged criminal libel of a policeman, before this same "judge", a southern "cracker". The editor was sentenced to jail for thirty days. The case was appealed to the U. S. District Court at Philadelphia and is still pending. The native policeman was simply criticised for manhandling a native woman. Judge Williams took advantage of this to "get even" with the editor who it seems refuses to become a "cracker's" doormat. The Civil Liberties Union of New York City has appealed, in behalf of Editor Francis, to the Navy Department, which means President Coolidge of course, and we fear will get no more favorable action than it has in the cases of the other and similar appeals for Francis and other native Virgin Islanders who have been mistreated, outraged and killed by the prejudiced southern "cracker" American Naval control of those islands. We hope the report, that the Governor of the Islands has disqualified Judge Williams from further handling the case of contempt against the editor because of his prejudice, is true. The President ought long ago to have "fired" Williams and ended that Naval control, and cannot do both too quickly, now. and other Lambert Pharmacal Co., Saint Louis, U.S. A. who have killed Don't Fuss With Mustard Plasters of those nort. that CASH For Dental Gold, Platinum, Silver, Diamonds, magneto points, false teeth, jewelry, any valu- ables.

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 Wed- nesday, by County Auditor Zangerle. ‘Tho general increase in taxes in the state for the past year was $3,500,- 000, leaving Cleveland’s Increase more than a million dollars higher than that of all other cities and vil- lages combined, the auditor de- clared. The growing load on taxpay-| ers was blamed on increasing de- mands of council for money to op- erate 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 com- munitles of the state. Cleveland's per capita tax is $10 per citizen over that of other communities. The local tax is $53 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 mil- lion dollar bond issue, this fall, which will mean even higher taxes, and higher rentals than are now ‘being charged and the Lord knows our peo- ple get thé worst of the rent-charges in every community in which they live.

C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is" more segregation tn Washington today under President Goolidge 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 land desire to introduce 3t even there. To many people, segregation is « Democratic scheme of insult, but much is not the case. Mr. Taft in- 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 Diack, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and. black Fesidents. And, worst of all, an- nounced in his official eapacity’ that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Ses- Fegation, then, 18 a Republican in- stitution and mot a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried on to ita 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.

They wonder if he fs not a firm be- Hever in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief ten- ets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its “‘weleome home” in the Republican party, and rerelves no condemnation from the Republican ‘President. (Special to The Gazette.) ‘Washington, D. C.—In the postof- fice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department meintains @ spacious cafteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing Juncheons 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 discomfore, disadvantage- ous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, @s 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 that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intell!- gent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employ- ment. ‘The department goes even farther fm Its soliciende for whites and neg- lect of oplored. It maintains well- appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comforte ble lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored em- ployece. ‘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 segregstion is even Attempted tn the tollets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithfal employees. ‘Tast year the white employees passed around invitations to the ‘white employees, in the very pres- 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 social eve- 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 the colored as well as the white. ‘These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express {tself 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- ice, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. ‘The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many ot the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The col- ored clerks have dared to form s union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of thetr skin. (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 a very mediocre group, far from equal- ing our girls in educational equip- ‘ment, culture, and working efficien- cy. 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 where all of the employees may go, but there are @ few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. Iam glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize ‘the place, preferring a little physical incon- venience to the open, sem!-public hu- miliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work askignments, — wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the inferior whites pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher sal- aries, ‘Tho whites have a large recrea- tional 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, @nd 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- eldent 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. 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 for 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 their government (under President Coolidge) gives 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 so faith- fully, and I have taken up & number of cases only to be met by s denial that the conditions complained of ex- ist, and a request for the names of my informants.

(Special to The Gazette) washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history fnvolving President Thomas Wood- row Wilson and members of his fam- fly, three herofe young colored wom. ‘en’ who lost their positions as a re- sult of thelr protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. ‘Wilson to the White House, a mem. der 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 ar 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 tho bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as “a great Nogro leader had taught col ored people to stay in thelr 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 loca! 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 the 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- ty, the elimination of the colored ‘employees from the bureau alt o- gether. ‘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 helped to found, Our girls are om- ployed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the pub- lic service. THEY ARE SEGRE- GATED in thelr rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promo- tions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes. most ot them with high ane normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. ‘The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of 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. (Special 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. It fs to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West In- dles, and in that long sweep of his. tory that the President traversed are 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 Ohfo’s master finan- cler, John Sherman. ‘These men never knew what segregation was! ‘The present head of the depart- ment of internal revenue, Mr. Blafr trom North Carolina, has not ap- pointed a colored clerk since his tn- cumbeney. While his predecessor, ‘Mr. Danfel Roper, 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 fs by tar the largest de- partment of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Ne- groes are so scarce there that they can’t be noticed. ‘There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the Kov- ernment—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 Ines, and special toflets, lock- er rooms, rest rooms, ete., set off for colored. ‘The toflets for the colored are fow in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physteal 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 is publicly pro- claimed as "a colored division.’ When it 1s discovered that Negro clerks are “working as white” in other divisions, they are promptls 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 Klus ee 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 Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in 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 tho 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 cola before the effort to in- crease segregation in the depart- ments here was on again at full speed. Tt had slowed up a little dur- ing the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed 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-Amer!- gan employees and the other with Navy Department — one segre- gated section of 18 of our employ- eos, as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau —a_segrogated section of 60 Afro-American employ- 08. Bonus Section Ronus section of the War Depart- ment—one 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 fle room. Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a sex- regated section of 7 employees. ‘Office of the Treasurer of the Unt- ted States—a segregated section of 4 employees, War Department, ‘Transportation Diviston—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. 0. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segre- gated lunch room, Is IT 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 their race “al- ways will be discriminated against.” The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimina- Hon, and are winning even $0- 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 land 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 Face.

DON'T DOPE YOUR BATTERY (President Greer College of Pestle crm dy Segara t-te mizers were quite in style with the get-rich-quick fiends. They were much more common than they are now. One could buy them in powder, tablet or Uquid form and Probably administer them in homo- Pathic or allopathic doses—for the effect was just the same. ‘As long as the car owner was vYery careful to have the carbon re- moved trom the engine cylinders, the valves ground and the carbur- etor adjusted and then apply the so- called economizer to the fuel tank, ‘he was certain to get greater mile- age per gallon of gasoline. And no wonder! The same thing applies to the Dresent-day storage battery “rejuy- enators,” “recharging solutions” and what not that are being sold as mysterious compounds and wonder- ful discoveries which recharge your ‘storage battery in twenty minutes. Any battery service station can do the same thing by doping a battery with strong acid—but they know the harmful effects of such treat- ‘ment. ‘The surprising thing is the will ingness of many people to pay fabu- lous prices, three to five dollars being asked for a single applica- tion of these “dopes,” when most storage battery service stations would do the same thing for 25 cents, There is nothing mysterious about pouring strong acid solution into a discharged battery and hay- ing it operate in twenty or thirty minutes afterward. Any service station ean do that, but the normal way to recharge a battery Is to pass @ current of electricity through it and avoid injuring it or shortening its life. ‘The quick way is to pay three to five dollars for about 25 cents worth of strong acid—and suffer the consequences.
