Y., an athlete and debater, has been elected president of the students of Newton High school, (Queens). Elmhurst, L. L., over two white candidates. The campaign, in which Waller was attacked because of his color, became so heated that Principal Dillingham threatened to call the police if disorders occurred at the election, April 29. There are only 12 Afro-American students in the school. Waller received 1,046 votes and the combined opposition 900. He is a member of the cross-country, track and baseball teams, head of the advertising department of the school paper and a debater. His father is a retired minister. Students from the South started all the trouble, and lost out. Good! A DELEGATION PRODS THE Washington, D.

J. Goodall of Philadelphia, Rev. J. Francis Robinson of Cambridge, Mass., and Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham of Washington. They presented to the President for his consideration matters which they think call for executive action. They particularly called to his attention segregation in the Government departments, the matter of more appointments of our men to federal offices of responsibility, and the problem of securing the ballot for Afro-Americans in the South. A Promosstro:Business Man Charleston, W. Va.—C. H. James, wholesale fruit and produce man and one of our leading loyal business men in this state, had as guest, a few days, recently, Chandler Owen of N. Y. City, managing editor of The Messenger. "Dismissed" By the Chicago Defender "For Alleged Peculiars; Amount Estimated at More Than $125,000, Says The Chicago Whip. Chicago, Ill.—The Chicago Whip, the Chicago Defender's local race contemporary, in its issue of last week, had the following to say of the Defender sensation of recent weeks: "Following weeks of the wildest rumors, during which time investigators and auditors have worked for verisibly day and night to disentangle the tangled financial maze of the Robert S. Abbott Publishing Company; publishers of the Chicago Defender, it is now definitely and authoritatively revealed that Phil A. Jones, general manager and former confidant of the owner; Alfred Anderson, chief editorial writer and purchasing agent; Roscoe Conkling Simmons, columnist and road agent, and J. Delos Bell, bookkeeper, have been summarily dismissed from the employ of the company for alleged peculations amounting to about $117,000 and that a deputy sheriff has been detailed at the publishing plant to prevent their future return. The investigation has not yet been completed but it is said that already it shows defalcations over a period of years and reveals a varied and ingenious system of making and covering shortages. These disclosures are the startling and altogether unexpected climax to an investigation which started with the decision of the company to erect an office building on land north and adjacent to the present plant at 3435 Indiana Ave. Chicago. A state bank of Chicago, it has been learned, was called upon several weeks ago to underwrite a bond issue for the erection of the proposed building; and it was upon the report of its auditor, who had detailed to the applicant the assets of the company, that the present amazing disclosures were made. It is said that the four men, though widely different in associations and temperaments, operated of necessity together because each was in a 'key position' necessary to the success of their alleged machinations. Cursory examination into the effects of all four men reveals the fact that Jones, Simmons and Bell are said to be broke. Anderson is said to have some property, which it is reported may be the subject of attachment. Jones still has his Packard car and Bell his Haynes, but it is rumored that these may also be sought in the further search for returnable assets. A complete reorganization of the plant is now in progress. It is said that more dismissals may be expected, particularly in certain instances among the minor employees who attended to the detail work of the four dismissed men. Alexander L. Jackson, who was assistant to the president, already has become the general manager in the place of Phil Jones. Richard ('Dick') Jones (not related to the former, manager) is now purchasing agent, the place held by Anderson. To Lucius C. Harper, the managing editor, goes the additional responsibility of chief editorial writer." Durken Fight Max Sweat Washington, D. C.—Fight on President J. Stanley Durkee (white) president of Howard University, may spread to Emory Smith, appointed by Durkee as alumni secretary, according to Prof. Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Claim is made that Smith's office spends $10,000 a year in publishing an expensive journal and in salaries, while Mr. Smith is also permitted to practice law. One of Our Few Mayors Dead. Urbana, O., The body of Charles B. James, age 64, mayor of Brooklyn, Ill., who left an estate of more than $300,000, was brought to this city Wednesday, for funeral and burial. He was born in Urbana and died in Brooklyn shortly, before he was, to have been inquigurated for his fourth two-year term as mayor of that city. He was a graduate of Oberlin college. Brooklyn, Ill., is a little city of 3,000 persons, nearly all of whom are members of the race. Douglass' Name For' Hall of Fame New York City.—Our people have started a drive to have the Hon. Frederick Douglass, abolitionist and later U. S. minister to Haiti, allotted a place in the hall of fame. He is the first of the race to have his name proposed for such honor. He was born in Maryland, Feb. 14, 1817, and is our greatest historical character. He Was Born in Ireland. New York City.—Charged with playing hooKEY from school on March 17 caused Philip Yates, age 9, a member of the race, to appear in court, May 1. Phil was defended, by his mother and the judge immediately dismissed the case when Mrs. Yates insisted that Philip was born in Cork, Ireland, and therefore took St. Patrick's day for a holiday. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS TO WIN SCHOOL RIGHTS IN SOME PLACES IN THE SOUTH, FOR OUR PEOPLE How It Was Done in Atlanta, Savannah and Louisville New and Better Schools Being Provided, But "Jim Crow" Cars Remain—Why Rosenwald Is Popular in That Section of the Country. Atlanta, Ga.—Slowly, but surely the South is according equal educational opportunities. Great inequalities in the apportionment of public funds, for educational purposes persist in many communities and the educational standards for our race is still pathetically low in many sections but the day when the Afro-American in the South can be excluded from opportunity for a good education is passing. Painful sacrifices on the part of our people in this section of the country bent on securing for their children what was denied to them are responsible for much of the educational advance. White philanthropists and religious organizations in the North have done much to extend our educational opportunities here in the South. The two most significant forces at work, today, in the improvement of our educational opportunities in the South are use by our people of their own voting power to force good schools from a begrudging community and the earnest efforts, made by southern white men and women to extend to our people the opportunities for schooling now accorded whites. Whether by exercise of the franchise or by belated recognition of our right the Afro-American is getting good schools for our children in many sections of the South. Delegates to the recent inter-racial commission here brought reports of huge expenditures for schools in a number of their respective communities which were as widely seperated as Texas and Virginia. Votes in Some Sectioirs. Contrary to a widespread impression we do vote in some sections of the South. In some communities we hold the balance of power which we are exercising in our own interest. There are sections where the "shotgun quarantine" still operates, in the vicinity of the polling places and state Democratic parties as a rule bar our voter from their primaries which, of course, means from election. It is in local elections and particularly in bond elections that the Afro-American makes himself felt. Reform forces in a recent Savannah, Ga., municipal election found themselves thwarted until they invoked the aid of our leading citizens who brought out our full vote in support of the reform candidate and made possible the ousting of the corrupt machine. Atlanta itself can testify to the power of our vote. The city was desperately in need of additional school buildings. Proposals for bonds to finance the school buildings were uniformly defeated by a substantial majority. It finally dawned upon the friends of education that their bond issues were being defeated by our people, who held the balance of power. In desperation they called upon our leaders to help them put over the school bond issue. They pointed out that the proposed funds were to be used for white schools only and that no concern was manifested for our people, who were still being taught in sheds of the civil war period. Through the Atlanta inter-racial committee an arrangement was negotiated whereby $1,250,000 of the proposed $4,000,000 bond issue was to be devoted to buildings for our children. The bond issue carried overwhelmingly at the next election, and, today, the city of Atlanta has a high school for our pupils which compares favorably with the best buildings for whites. New elementary schools have also been completed as part of the program. Power in Louisville. Bishop George C. Clement. Louisville, of the A. M. E, Zion church, told the inter-racial commission that it is impossible to put through a bond issue in his community without the support of our vote, which is withheld when there is any discrimination against us in measures for new schools, parks or other improvements. Use of the ballot by Afro-Americans forced the city of Louisville to open the doors of the municipal university of Louisville to our students. Bond issues were uniformly defecated by our people there until the bars were lifted. A state bond issue for educational purposes carries the provision that a fixed percentage shall be used for the education of our children. Delegates from other sections brought reports of state and local expenditures for our education and of drives made upon state legislatures for increased expenditures for this purpose which IN UNION IS STRENGTH THE COPY FIVE CENTS Used OOL RIGHTS THE SOUTH, FOR OUR POPLE ta, Savannah and Louisville ools Being Provided, But remain—Why Rosen- er in That Section Country. barely failed of success and which they believed would be carried at the next session—drives participated in by prominent white men and women as well as ours. Coahoma county, in the heart of Mississippi's agricultural district, is spending $250,000 on a group of agricultural high schools for our pupils with twenty feeding centers in the rural districts. Natchez, Miss., recently voted $75,000 for a new high school—"the first money voted, outright for school purposes for our people in sixty years", the Mississippi delegate reported. Meridian also has a new school for our pupils and dental clinics have been inaugurated in some of our schools in Mississippi. Louisiana Is Awakening. Louisiana, which is, reckoned among the backward states in its treatment, of our people, is waking up to the importance of our education, according to Dr. Leo M. Favrot, representative of the general education board in the South, who was one of the Louisiana delegates to the recent inter-racial commissions' conference held here. A proposal for a state normal school for Afro-Americans, which the Louisiana legislature fairly refused to consider, two years ago, was unanimously approved by the senate and adopted with only three dissenting votes in the house at the last session of the legislature. The governor vetoed the measure along with other appropriations on the ground of insufficient funds, but Louisiana will soon have such a normal school, Dr. Favrot asserted. A recent meeting of school superintendents from all over Louisiana will ten years ago would have ridiculed the idea of higher education for Afro-Americans, recently came out for adequate high and normal schools for the training of our teachers. The trustees of this $175,000 institution offered it to the states as a gift and a large section of the white and our population hope to see the state of Virginia operate the school in the very near future. Under the leadership of the inter-racial commission, Tennessee legislature appropriated $160,000 for our Agricultural and Industrial institute at Nashville and the whites and our people of Tennessee raised $60,000 to enable the institution to obtain $100,000 from the general education board which conditions its gifts on self-help by the school and its friends. The Tennessee inter-racial committee raised money to pay for teachers and buildings in backward counties, where the authorities refused to aid in our education. Rosenwald Stands High. In many parts of the South these committees of whites, and our people have co-operated with communities which strive to raise money for the erection of modern school buildings in accordance with the terms prescribed by Juliusi. Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist. They think a great deal of Mr. Rosenwald in the South because his generous offer to share the expense of modern buildings has made it possible for 2,617 communities to get modern schools. The indirect influence of these Rosenwald schools in improving the educational standards for both the white and our schools in the South is immensurable. The banner exhibit, as regards our education, is, however, to be found in North Carolina. What that progressive southern state is doing for its Afro-American citizens will be described in another article. TO SAIL FOR ENGLAND. Lewiston, Me.—John P. Davis of Washington, D. C., Bates College student, will sail from Boston, May 10, for England. Davis, who is editor-in-chief of the college daily paper, and member of the debating team, has been selected by the American University Union with three others to represent the United States in a series of debates with leading English and Scottish universities including Oxford, Cambridge, St. Andrews and Edinburgh as well as several provincial colleges. He will also visit France, Germany and Italy and intervening countries.

SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1925 Some ugly rumors, relative to "jim crow" school conditions in Springfield and Dayton are reaching The Gazette. They do not speak well for some of our local leaders in both cities. --- Speaking of Gov. A. V. Donahey's recent veto of the "Bible Bill", State Senator George Bender said: "Thank God we have a governor with sufficient conscience and courage who, even with a pack of kluxers on hfs back, will tell them all to go to hell!" --- The southern "cracker" is seldom happy wherever he is, in or out of this country, if he is not doing something to make it harder or more unpleasant for our people. Once in a while he gets what is coming to him, from either our people or their friends. But this does not happen often enough, we regret to say. --- We certainly would like to see Harry Wills follow the cowardly champion, Jack Dempsey, to Europe and make him look like a three-cent piece with a hole in it. Over there his dodging and ducking Wills' challenge would not be tolerated. They would hoot him (Dempsey) out of the country, any country. So our long-time friend, Dr. Wm. A. Byrd, has come to life again, and right, as usual. He, Dr. Jernigan, of Washington, D. C., and other loyal members of the race, have just had the temerity to call on President Coolidge and ask him to stop several very injurious things to the race, stressing segregation of our employees in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the government service. GOOD! Some months ago, it was generally reported and believed that President J. Stanley Durkee of Howard University, Washington, D. C., had come to blows in his office with an Afro-American member of the school's faculty and that he was occupying a position in relation to Howard much like that of President Fayette McKenzie of Fisk University, Nashville Tenn., that has finally brought about the practical dismissal of the latter, his term ending with this school year. Now we are informed that a fight is on to get rid of President Durkee and his alleged imperialistic control of Howard. From all reports it seems that the gentleman either caters too strongly to southern sentiment or is a trifle too prejudiced himself. He fails to meet and treat our members of Howard's faculty, its alumni and students, in the manner he should, it is claimed. If this is true then he, too, should be made to go the way of President McKenzie and soon. No man, white or black, who fails to fully measure up to the broad, progressive standard absolutely necessary in the cases of all of the heads of our institutions of learning, should be permitted to hold such a position any longer than it takes to get rid of him. If President Durkee is guilty, as charged, his resignation should be forced just as soon as possible and Howard's alumni should lead in the effort to bring this about. If he is not guilty, then these rumors and charges should be stopped just as soon as possible. THE PRIMARY CAUSES Our Atlanta letter, in this issue of The Gazette, makes it clear to us that the Inter-racial Committees of the South are being used in an effort to help stop the emigration of our people from that section to this by featuring in its propaganda the alleged improvement in school facilities in some sections of "Dixie" and by calling attention repeatedly to the decrease in lynching there in the last few years. It is a vain effort because the matter of an improvement in the school facilities afforded in the South is not the primary cause of the emigration. All kinds of mistreatment, denials of civil rights in practically all public places, including "jim crow" street, railroad and suburban or interurban cars, residential segregation and segregation of all kinds, also lynch-murder, of course, are the primary causes. Our people, those who have suffered so long in that section of the country, and this includes those who have come North in the last seven or eight years as well as others who came before that period, cannot be misled into returning South, or staying there—those who have made up their minds to leave, by such propaganda as features the Atlanta letter in this paper, and the Inter-racial Committees of the South, and all others, may as well understand that now as later on when they will be compelled to do so. Many, if not all, of the primary causes must be removed if enough of their baneful effects, that have driven over a half million of our people out of the South into the North in the last seven or eight years, are to be gotten rid of. --- "THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS". --- Before and after the dismal failure, several, months ago, of the Standard Life Insurance Co., of Atlanta, there were several bank failures. Then came the big Brown and Stevens failure at Philadelphia, and now we have the Chicago Defender "mess". If the facts were made known, we feel sure that practically the same causes would be found to be the basis of all the failure the Standard Life Insurance Co. and they ought to be given to the public. Before sailing for Europe, recently, Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, told why he and other friends (white) could not save the Standard Life Insurance Co., when appealed to. Its affairs were in such a miserable condition, so very much worse than had been represented to them, he said, that they could do nothing to help the Standard. "Twas ever thus! This year is not half gone and "the Negro in business" has already made a record in miserable failures that is anything but creditable to the individuals most concerned and our people in general; and all as a result of practically the same "weaknesses". As The Gazette said, some weeks ago, it is high time our people in business, and those pretending to be in business, stop blowing, bragging, magnifying, etc., and get down to learning real business methods before starting big or even little business enterprises with other peoples' money. Indiscriminate selling of "stock" and talking "co-operation", "race-loyalty", etc., anything, to wheedle the hard-earned money from the pockets of our poor hard-working people, must stop! The persons who do this are almost always members of the race who have never been able to make a dollar in business for themselves. And yet they want other members of the race to let them have their money "to make some for them" when they have never been able to do this for themselves. Lord, have mercy! In the last six or seven years, here in the North, there has been a veritable orgy of "stock-selling", talking "co-operation", race-loyalty", etc., in an effort to promote this "stock" selling game which as we have already said ought to be stopped. Mrs. Malone in "Philly". Philadelphia, Pa.—Mrs. Annie E. Malone of St. Louis, founder of Poro College, who has 100,000 agents throughout the country operating the PORO system, was given a royal welcome to this city on April 26th. The next day, the Poro Beauty Parlor and store were formally opened and thousands attended, met Mrs. Malone and recyled souvenirs.

Paris, France.—Jack Taylor, an Afro-American light heavyweight, last week Wednesday night, defeated Paul Journee, the French heavyweight who was Georges Carpentier's sparring partner in the United States. The referee stopped the fight in the second round to save Journee from a knockout. Champion Dempsey "Called Down" New York City.—When Jack Dempsey called on the state athletic commission here, last week, he got what was coming to him, and was flatly told that it would not lift its blacklisting of him until he accepted Harry Wills' challenge, that of the only logical contender for the heavy-weight champoirship. The effort of the sport-writers (white) of this and other cities to cover up the foregoing in their articles to the various daily papers was certainly amusing. Dempsey wasn't looking for what he got, but he got it just the same. Col. John J. Phelan, chairman of the commission, and at least one if not all of his papers were entirely to the kind to be easily swerved from their decision that Dempsey must fight Harry Wills or stay out of New York State with his pugilistic contests. That the champion fears to enter the ring with Wills as his opponent is now pretty generally accepted, even if not acknowledged by Dempsey's close friends. The Browns or "Stars" Bumped. The Lorain Tellings scored their first victory of the season in a seesaw struggle through the rain with the Browns, Sunday afternoon, at Hooper field, by a margin of one run. The score was 6 to 5. The game was a pitching duel between "Slim" Branahan of the Browns, and Hoffman of the Tellings. Each of the hurriers had a bad inning in three runs, an opposition made three runs, but Manager Branahan's slip came in the seventh inning after he seemingly had the game chnched. After that it was too late to make up the ground lost. A rally, led by a hard single by Branahan in the last frame, netted one run and came near to knotting the game. Snappy fielding was displayed by both teams, the outfield of the Browns deserving the major part of the credit. Miles, the Browns' centerfielder, made the most sensational catch of the game in the fourth inning when the game head forlong for sonsuersault and came up with the ball in his glove.

BROWN, Owner and Manager rounds; June 9, Jimmy Slattery at New York, six rounds. Dunbar High School Wins Browns, Hooper and Yancy. Numerous complaints are going the rounds, from several directors of the Cleveland Browns Co. of the "raw deal" they received from Geo R. Hooper, park owner, and L. L. Yancey with whom they had business dealings, last year. It is said, the two worthies, mentioned above, "hamstrung" the directors all winter and then, several weeks ago when it was too late for them to do anything. Yancey showed up with his alleged "All Stars" team with him, it is said, he running with Hooper. The Browns Co. held a creditible showing, last year, considering the late start, and one director, "sore," boasts that he has kept large numbers of his friends from the park, this season. Our baseball needs "boosting" and "raw deals" won't help it. The "All Stars" have played to very poor crowds, thus far this season.

From African Methodism to Catholicism is some jump. Bro. Dawkins! While the service, as to time, on the Central Ave. street-cars has been improved a little since the first of this month, the worst cars in the city, added to the fleet, are being used on that line, and even that fact does not move the Jewish, Italian, Greek and "Negro" business men in Central Ave. to protest to City Manager W. R. Hopkins. City employees of color are still blating bitterly because of discriminations against them in favor of other city employees (white). Why don't they take the matter up with City Manager Hopkins thru their friends who are not in the city employee? The Gazette believes HE will stop it and insist on fairness and right. A letter received, Wednesday, from J. B. Dennis, Los Angeles, Cal., former resident of this city, says: "We are leaving on May 3 for Frisco" and Oakland. Will write you from there. Your card received: a copies of The Old Reliable Gazette. Certainly was glad to receive them because one can always find something interesting and worth-while in its columns". Contract for construction of a swimming pool and gymnasium at the Central Ave. bathhouse was awarded, Monday, by City Manager Hopkins to the M. B. Parker Co. The price is $74,000, and the work must be completed by Sept. 15. As The Gazette has repeatedly said from the very beginning, a swimming pool and gymnasium should have been put in the bathhouse when it was built. This was done by St. Clair St. Clair E. 777th St., provided for by the Council and built at the same time as the Central Ave. bathhouse. Better late than never, however. Fifty new patrolmen are to be appointed to the police department, this week, Safety Director Barry announced, last week Wednesday, from a list of applicants who have passed the civil service examination. Barry hopes to add eighty more to the department within the next few months. Next year, he said, he hopes to induce council to make provision for the appointment of 100 more officers. Half of the 50, to be appoled, the other, eight to be stationed in the 11th and 12th wards where they are so badly needed. To those who would be policemen, we say, in the language of the late lamented Bert Williams, comedian: "there's oo opptunity". Loula Vaughn Jones, violinist, a Cleveland boy with a host of friends in his home city, recently wrote his parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Jones, of E. 101st St, that he would finish on May 1 a most successful season of eight months' playing in Budapest, Hungary, and return to 11 Rue Jubert, Paris, France. Loula writes that in Budapest he has been most royally treated by royalty, the middle and poorer classes and that he has made many fast friends, among the first mentioned being Count Zichy. He writes that he has an offspring to Vienna for a month, then to Rome, Italy, and to Athens, Greece and Constantinople, Turkey, but intends to return to Paris. Loula says he is working on a whole new program which he intends to give when he returns to this country, this year. The evening of the day (April 8) he wrote his parents, he said he was to attend the Royal Opera House to hear Titir Tuffo, the great Italian baritone, sing in "Hamlet"; that he heard him, the week before, in "Barber of Seville", and that the following week, he intended hearing him in "Rigoleotto".

Don't be a "jim crow Negro" and go to color-line Luna park! Its management bars our people from its dance hall, swimming pool and roller skating rink every day in the year it is open except on the few "jim crow" days or evenings. Don't give your hard-earned money to people who insult and humiliate your people, and have only scorn and contempt for the "Negro" or "Negroes" who would let you out to that park with a little money for them selves and some for the park management. Be MEN and WOMEN and not door-mats for any one. Pastors warn the members of your congregations! As The Gazette has previously announced the feature of the Harmonic Choral society's concert, May 12, at St. John's A. M. E. church will be the playing of Miss Hazel Harrison, one of our few very best concert pianists. She has an international reputation as a soloist. Even this fact will not inspire the interest in the concert on the 12th that will the knowledge that Miss Harrison will play two numbers, from a suite of "Mountain Seenes," called "Where the Sea Dwells" and "A Cabin Sole" (Negative spiritual) compositions of Mrs. Elnora Manson, of Chicago, wife of our own Mr. David Manson, a Cleveland "boy". Miss Harrison will play them from manuscript because they have not as yet been published. Indeed, she has been playing them for some time at her recitals throughout the South and wherever she has appeared. This is the best kind of proof of their worth and merit. "Dave" Manson's hosts of friends here in his old home will be delighted to get this news and will be found in large numbers at St. John's, Tuesday evening. Would it be just as if Mr. and Mrs. Harrison also play them, Mrs. Grace Willis Thompson, the popular soprano and director of the Harmonic Choral society, promises some other surprises in which the organization will play the stellar roles. And we all know it can do it. Do not make the mistake of missing this recital and concert. Ask for KRAFT CHEESE At your dealer's. ```markdown ``` A. E.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, But Give It to a Friend or an acquaintance who Might Subscribe After Reading a Copy of It. 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 citizens in this city into four, 100-stricting white residents, and 100 white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and now Democratic. It was fought by Republicans, and was opposed to its all-embracing extent by Republican 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 papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored lady appeared after having assured the best examination, 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 favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina to the home of the other fraternity and leader 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.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant intimidation and physical antagonies. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing lunches 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 peas. The injustice stings all the more when they ledge, that they are far more capable than the whites, and render government more intelligent and efficient service—the white than of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglects of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, a comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very pres- once 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, and delivered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of emails. The color of the employees dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, especially since there is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars 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 into the lives of 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 arrested for assaulting a police pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and falling to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately discharged. By secure unimproved employees we are assured 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 denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of those who were informants would suffer so I have never given a single name! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1925 that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The tazette) 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 memoir of the family visited the bureau who was the first female 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." The women who did 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 discuaged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crisis. Our people here were 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 Doug g has helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other institution. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilers, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age, normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must be the most brilliant, 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 Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West dales, and in the early nineteenth century the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing 10,000 Negroes are so scarse 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 government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and far nother. 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 forced to work at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the besiege scene that the presence of women with space 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 to act. Our clerks must accept segregation and 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.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the bureaus in the formal row bureau. In the former, beaver board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to indictments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureau 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 Section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue 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 discrimination and when women own 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 without self-respect." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law 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 court's stitutionality of the law and it has been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6280. "Serious injury" defined. 6281. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282.

Section 6289. This chapter shall not relocate a person concerned in Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280.

The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover from the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched. if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow reaining an amount equal to the widow's share. If any widow is minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by lawmen as shown in Section 6283. 1498. Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching. In any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285.

If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came gence on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty 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 Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eat-venue or shop, public con-ference by land or water, other place of public accommodation 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, facil-ience privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than five hundred dollars, nor more than ninety dollars, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the wrong law. The right law was good law and did not amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Elkhorn District of Ohio, is self explanatory. Editor "The Gazette, Cleveland. O Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter, to the Beacon-Journal, of the city, I venture to congratulate you separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known that we were going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for calling attention to the WOR OF OHIO IS UNDER NO BE PROACH, nor our courts and injures in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage. Editor. Tell It, Brother, Tell It! There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune. We must learn to govern oursels and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern oursels and work together for our own advancement, we may be wary that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.
