Important Civilizations in Africa, China, Spain and Others of the Old Countries-An Interesting Discussion and Strong Plea for the "Negro" By the White Editor of The Girard, Kan., Weekly. FRESH OHIO NEWS Washington. D. C.-Officially and climatically it is spring in Washington. Bursting buds and flowers everywhere! The air is redolent with fragrance. The warm sun rays, balmy breezes and warbling birds suggest how perfectly in tune with the Infinite are all God's creations except "man". Recently in the city of Richmond, Va., was held, the annual convention of the League of Women Voters. Miss Dellahli Beasley, a native of Springfield or Cincinnati, Ohio, but now living in Oakland, Cal., was the only delegate of our race in attendance, and represented the Oakland League of Women Voters (white) and the Alameda County League of our Women Voters. As feature writer of the Oakland Tribune, the largest paper on the Pacific coast, with a daily circulation of $0.000. Miss Beasley reported daily by air-mail or telegraph the humor, pathos and contempt that rapidly followed one another in her varied experiences with southern "aristocracy". The confusion displayed and applied employed to recall an invitation to a reception for the delegates at the Governor's mansion was a travesty on southern hospitality as colossal, the usual and silly bray about southern chivalry. Miss Beasley's "Trail Blazers of California" graces the shelves of many university libraries of this country and abroad, and as a historian, well knows that many of the first families of Virginia were "jail-birds" of England. Before landing in America unkind messages were sent the foreign delegates causing them to cancel engagements in New York and come direct to Washington, Insidious propaganda, together with flagrant speech and actions were evident during the entire convention period causing the visitors to sit up and take notice in this wonderful "lane of the free and home of the brave". It was the thrill that comes once in a life time to hear Hallio Q. Brown of Ohio when she proclaimed to the women of the world assembled in the Washington Auditorium that "The American, Council of Women has broken its written contract and because colored people are, segre CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gazette, office on Tuesday morning, and always write their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies.

E. church gave a very enjoyable surprise covered-dish birthday party, May 9, in honor of Mrs. Lillian Mason, wife of Rev. Mason. The birthday-cake contained 16 candles—Dr. J. S. Jackson, pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church, Columbus, was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. T. H. Mason, Thursday. A. J. Wallace was called to Wheeling, Monday, by the death of his brother, William—Messrs. James Pettress, R. F. Ballard, B. S. Lee and John Williams attended the annual sermon of the K. P. lodge at Steubenville, Sunday. The address was delivered by Atty. Robert B. Barcus, grand chancellor—Mr. and Mrs. James Pettress royally entertained at dinner, Thursday evening, in honor of Mrs. Mary Glenn and Miss Bossie who left, Saturday, for Columbus. Mrs. Ida Jones' funeral was held, Wednesday afternoon, from St. James church. Those from a distance in attendance were: Mr. and Mrs. George Johnson and sister of Steubenville, Mrs. Laura Olmstead of Uhrichville; Mrs. Mary Harris of New York and Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Smith of Smithfield. gated in this audience their singers refuse to sing'. Another thrill was experienced the following Sunday at Metropolitan A. M. E. church when six foreign women rose in the congregation and said: "We rise to register our protest for the manner in which you were treated, last Tuesday night". Nordic perspicacity (?) led the American Council of Women to attempt to show to the women of the world how the vaunted and far acclaimed "land of the free and home of the brave" keeps the —— in his place. Likewise, Nordic assimilation led that same council to disregard as a scrap of paper, its written pledge, evidently forgetting the World War, and unmindful of that other world famous "scrap of paper". Fortunately 200 years will elapse before the Quinquennial will assemble again in America. In the meantime maybe the Christian mission will reach America and teach the American Council of Women how to interpret right the international motto "Do unto others as you would that others should do unto you". A careful inspection of the Quinquennial souvenir program reveals that some one has made an egregious blunder by omitting the photographs of Mary B. Talbert and Ilallah Q. Brown. At the biographical session of our National Association of Women, held at Toledo, Ala. Mrs. Talbert, president at that time presented a similar omission and or dered the programs reprinted. It is exceedingly unfortunate that in less than two years, on so momentary occasion as the Quinquennial, the sacrifices, unselfish service and wonderful achievement of Mary B. Talbert should be so shamelessly and obscurely memorialized in smaller type at the bottom of the page. This strange and ignoble version of "fighting as we climb" already threatens to impair confidence and to thwart the commendable progress hereto fore made. "Lord-God of-hosts be with us yet; Lost we forget, best we forget". Eva Nichols Wright, (Former resident of Xenia, O.) HILLSBORO.—The local T.

Eleven Other Prominent Southern Whites "Hooked Up" By "Uncle Sam" and Indicted on The Stume Charge. Pensacola, Fla.—M. B. Davis and Charles Land, turpentine operators, and three other persons charged with peonage in connection with "Negro" workers on Davis' farm were found guilty, May 22, by a federal jury here. Sentences will be imposed, May 29. The convicted say they will appeal. The general opinion is that it will do them no good to do so. The date for trial of five others, indicted for the same offense, will be set after sentence has been imposed on those convicted. The others indicted are Alfred Land, turpentine operator and brother of Charles Land; Sheriff Charles Lake, Judge William T. Chafin, County Attorney Henry V. McClellan, Deputy Sheriff Thomas Cason and W. White, commissary manager for Davis. Three "Negroes" testified during the trial that they ran away from the Davis farm to escape cruel treatment, but were captured and that a fourth "Negro," at the point of guns, was forced to flog them. $100,000 To Tuskegee and Hampton. New York City.—Trustees of the Carnegie Corporation, last week Tuesday, voted $360,500 to support organizations carrying on experiments in the fine arts, including music. This is the first time the corporation has entered this field to any great extent. Among the larger grants were: $50,000 as an art center endowment fund for Grinnell (la.) college; $50,000 as an endowment fund for the Hampton (va.) institute; the income to be used for instruction in industrial arts; $50,000 as an endowment fund for Tuskegee (la.) institute; for instruction in applied arts; and $50,000 as an endowment fund for Wellesley (Miss.) college, for support of the department of fine arts.

Decoration Day, today, the Cleveland Blues are scheduled at Coment where they have a tilt with the club of that city. President Landon O'Neal is constantly trying to improve his club and promises by mid-June to have a top-notcher that can test the best of the northern Ohio nines. The game, last Sunday, with the Columbus. White Sox was called off by the rain and the Blues are booked to meet them in Columbus in July. Over a hundred Columbus fans were up for the game. More Allgued "Dempsey Talk". Paris, France, May 26.—Jack Dempsey announced today that he will be ready to meet the survivor of the four-corned competition between Weinert, Wills, Gibbons and Tunney. He declared he was anxious to get back into the ring, and feels that the eventual winner of forthcoming bouts in America is worthy of a chance at the championship. Ever since he has been "champion", Dempsey has been "sidestopping" the challenge of Harry Wills, his master in the American ring, and fight promoters here in Paris know why. He fears Wills, and well he may. Truth About The Brown's? Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—A bit of history is in order for our faithful baseball fans who have wondered at the "strange goings on" in our local baseball doings. Late in February, 1924, the veteran Sol White, having secured use of Hooper Field, invited a popular business man, knowing his past baseball experience, to "put the proposition over." How well this was done the local public knows, for despite a last place indifferent team, the Brown's Co. raised over $4,000, lasted till October and did a total business of about $23,000, and the very best attractions were seen here by local fans. All this was done through the ability, vision and exp and his co-operators. The Brown's Co. was not bankrupt. Even so it would have been no disgrace, for old and experienced ball clubs like Detroit, Birmingham, Memphis, Cubans, etc., lost respectively $4,000, $3,000, $1,800 and $4,000, last year, on account of awful weather conditions. and business people. Last week in a local paper, there appeared a so-called refutation and denial of any "raw-dealing" to the Brownns Co. No bigger falsehood has ever appeared, according to a director of the Brownns, who states that fans "in the know" must have had a hearty laugh. For those who don't know, their "denial" will cause a pitiful chuckle when the truth is known. The director, who is known to some of the fans as the chief SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WHAT IS TRUE OF INDIVIDUALS IS NOT NECES SARILY TRUE OF RACES An Ohio Woman Also Stirs Up the Prejudiced at Richmond, Va.—Hallie Q. Brown Does the Right Thing, This Time—Mary B. Talbert's Proper Action Recalled—"The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave"—Nordic "Perspicacity"! "The best man—and the best race—wins. As individuals vary, in beauty and power and intellect, so do races. This, boiled down, is the theme of Thomas A. Swanson (Route 1, Radcliffe, Iowa), who thus enters pragmatically our debate on the subject of the Negro and his place in the sun of the temperate zone. Mr. Swanson thinks that the Negro is racially below the attributes and attalments of the white man. "He suggests that my view of the question is too much on the surface and too far enough under the skin. but far enclosed. It is easy to say that one race is superior to another, and to point an example to the variations of individuals within a race; this assertion of superiority is what a member of any race may naturally be expected to make; but I do not believe it is true in any absolute or sense, and surely not true for the purposes of our present argument. What may be true of individuals is not necessarily true of races. You can indict an individual public opinion and the law are constantly doing it—but you cannot have a whole race, people, or nation. Individuals may be insane, criminal, homeless, can this be said, on a larger scale, of any race? There are hundreds of races, and most of them are foolish and most of them are all the Nordic theory. I believe the trend of science has been to minimize the importance of race and to make broader distinctions. We have many lesser idiosyncratic race. We used to hold that the Chinese were a very inferior, insignificant people in everything but sheer numbers. But recently detrusted Russell, the great English scientist and social philosopher, jared us out of our smug, uninformed as-sumptuous by showing us that the Chinese are really a great people and are destined to play an important role in the future of mankind. Mighty and rich and beautiful civilizations were created in, the past by so-called races that are today far below their ancient glory. Spain was once supreme in the Western World. One does not see today "the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome". Ancient Egypt was greater than modern Egypt. A wonderful civilization flourished thousands of years ago in China. So we see that races may be strong and become weak; highly cultured and lapse to ordinary in their intellectual and social life; superior, so to speak and fall into a position of inferiority. Other conditions, besides inherent racial virtue, produce such transformations. The barbarian who swarmed into Italy were, I many ways—in civilized ways—in "knee-bender and man Friday" to the boss, of course does not count. No other, course was open to the "poor boys", for two of them have concession privileges at the park. Another thing that will be an eye opener to fans is that the three "refuters", who signed the "denial papah", did not put up a dime to start business, this spring, it is said, while three worthy business men "dug down" to the tune of approximately $500 to start their operations. Al Black, successful in business and square-dealing, (which some of the boss don't seem to understand) will vouch for this statement. Approximately $1,600 was owed by the Browns, all of which they were willing to pay except a few unfair players' accounts. The Browns ('o, were positively ready to do business but the "wise-guys" had "crossed and stacked the cards"). The chairman of the Brownns Co. says and backs it up with receipts, that he has paid out of his own pocket over a hundred dollars of old bills of the company in the last three months, which is something some persons cannot show. That is, he states, just one way of profitably spending the time instead of handing out "pough deals". A well-known fan and sport authority, with a large following on the "avenoo", recently summed up the situation what seems to be a truism when he declared, "The smart manager-gang running things out at that park have just about killed our baseball in Cleveland thru their inexperience, ignorance, amateurism, greed and raw-dealing". It certainly looks like it may be so from the back of interest and very small crowds. IN-UNION IS STRONGER THE COPY FIVE CENTS THER? AN-JULIUS SAYS IDUALS IS NOT NECES- E OF RACES Up the Prejudiced at Rich- Brown Does the Right ry B. Talbert's Proper the Land of the Free "Brave"—Nordic ecacity"! terior to the Romans! They had greater strength, however—and the stomans were weakened, by abuse of power and wealth and leisure—and the barbarians upset that proud empire. There have been important Negro civilizations, too; and today new states of black folks are growing in Africa—where the black man is not being exterminated as was the Indian in America. I have not contended that the Negro race, as a wnote, is equal in attainments to the white race. I do not believe there is anywhere near the disparity (proportionately to numbers) in virtue and ability, intelligence, that too poorest whites often allege. It is enough to say, however, that the Negro has not possessed the advantages of the white man; and this lack of advantages may be traced chiefly to denial by the white race. What I do say is that the Negro, individually and racially, has potentialities (and they are not becoming realities, appearing more plainly every day) that are not so sense below those of the white race. Finally I ask, why oppress the Negro, why treat him not widely and meanly as an interior way stand out from him as it concludes were unwholesome—simply because one holds that he is not equally developed with the white race? Why shouldn't the white race? Why shouldn't the generosity being the better part of strength, be glad to permit—indeed, to invite—the Negro to share in their culture? And why too should not the dominant race be so sensible enough to avail itself of the peculiar culture, unique and valuable, that belongs to the Negro? The biological mixing of the races is not the question—and, if it were, the guilty party in the process is the white man. And it is especially in the Negro-hating South that one is struck by the visible admixture of the races—the white man, for all his talk of racial purity, having been the aggressor. The question we have primarily to consider is, not whether the Negro is equal to the white man in prowess or culture, but whether he shall be equal as to rights, social consideration, all the opportunities of life that the white man enjoys. And, speaking of the "skin deep" phase of the matter, I do say that that is prejudice against his black skin that is responsible for our persistence in excluding the Negro from full participation in the social life of America; and this prejudice against black skids is derived from American traditions of black slavery. Let the Negro be as free, as respected, as unassailed by discrimination as the white man—and let him show under fair consideration, whether he is as able as the white man.

SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Howard University, Washington, D. C., to attend that famous institution's 56th annual commencement exercises, June 5, at 3 p. m., on the university campus. Ignoring their mistreatment and that of the race by the President, "Coolidge Negroes" are still "storming" the White House in the shameful effort to get a job. Poor things! They are apparently absolutely devoid of self and race respect as well as pride. --- Mrs. Wright has an exceptionally interesting and well-written Washington, D. C., letter in this issue of "The Old Reliable". Many of our older residents of the state, especially those in southern Ohio, will recall "Miss Eva Nichols" one of our prettiest and finest girls for years in that section of the state. Major Allen S. Peal, an Ohio "boy" and a member of the faculty of Western University, Quindaro (Kansas City), Kan., has sent the editor of The Gazette an invitation to attend the 29th annual commencement exercises of that institution, June 4, at 2:30 p. m., and we wish it were possible for us to attend. --- The editor of The Gazette also acknowledges the receipt of an invitation, the first of the week, from Mrs. Lettie Thompson Drummond of Boston, years ago a resident of this city, to visit, today. The Lincoln Cabin on the Forbes estate at Milton, Mass. Our older residents will recall Mrs. Drummond and be pleased to hear of her again. Editor E. Haldeman-Julius, of the Girard (Kan.) Weekly, is apparently the most fearless and outspoken, and broadest-minded white editor in the country, today, in the discussion of any phase of the many-sided so-called "race question". With this we are sure our many readers will now agree. It takes real courage, these days, for the editor of any American newspaper (white) to speak out in the open on that question as he is doing.

If you need to be convinced, step in and see for yourself. Then there is his "Palace Gardens" with orchestral music which the young and old revel in evenings.—Adv. A prominent member of a leading downtown club, was being sought, last week Thursday, by police who were investigating a report that a liquor party at the club terminated in serious injuries to Leonard Brooks, a waiter. The man sought, it is said, slugged the waiter over the head with a bottle, knocking him unconscious. Brooks was bundled into a taxicab and driven to his home at 2864 E. 81st St., at 3 a.m. There the waiter was thrown out of the cab at door police declaration, he lay down in his wife, who summoned the officers. Brooks was said to be so dazed from the effects of the blow that he could not throw much light on the incident. The man for whom police were searching was said to have fled. Roy Johnson, age 50, of 2018 Central Ave., resented assertions by John Walker, age 33, of 2018 Central Ave., that his liquor tasted like lemon juice and Johnson shot Walker in the jaw, according to police. Mrs. Maggie Johnson, wife of Roy, was arrested by police and charged with violating the national probation law. Walker was taken to Charity hospital.

Prosecuting witness and a friend in need for the convicted defendant were roles combined, last week Thursday, by Wm. Jones, 2369 E. 31st St., at the police court trial of Harold Hodson. Hodson, who lives at 7219 Chambers St., was fined $10 and costs for creating a disturbance in the workplace. He told police he was robbed at Jones' home. Jones refuted the claim and showed that Hodson was ejected after quarrelling about his losses in a dice game. When Hodson went to pay his fine he found only $6 in his pockets. Jones appeared and paid the balance. ```markdown ``` THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.CLEVELAND, MAY 30, 1925 TRY OUR EASY PAYMENT PLAN! AMAZING ACTS BY MAIL ROUTE HORSE BRUTE INTELLIGENCE THAT IS ALMOST BEYOND BE. LIEF. "DONE THE BEAT" FOR NINE YEARS Locks Barn® Door and Automatically Feeds Himself—Knows His Stops —Fond of Candy. Grand Rapids, Mich.—No more remarkable horse lives than "Ned," an animal owned by Martin Gilbertson, a local mail collector. Some of the stints which he performs are almost past belief. "Ned" feeds himself, which is no mean accomplishment for a horse. His master, by arranging a chute from the corncirch to the animal's stall, and an ingenious rake in the haymow over the stall, has made this possible. A rope attached to shutter in the chute and another to the rake, when pulled by "Ned" release a portion of hay sufficient for a meal and six ears of corn. At night when Gilbertson enters his door-yard he unhitches the animal by unhooking a simplified harness, and "Ned" hurries to his stall, clamps the ropes between his teeth and yanks down his munchings. The next day Gilbertson arranges the corn and hay and everything is in readiness for the next night. Gilbert also has nailed a wood block on the sliding door of the barn and "Ned" finds this every night with a front hoof. He quickly pushes it shut and an automatic latch insures him against the wishes of any misguided intruder. For nine years the brute has "done the beat" with Gilbertson. He has grown so accustomed to the duty that he makes the three hundred stops without requiring a word of command from his master. In fact he goes over three quarters of the route alone every day, Gilbertson taking short cuts through back yards and over fences while the steed takes the street. This enables the collector to finish his task fully an hour under schedule. Again "Ned" knows a traffic officer better than most autoists. Approaching a corner in the conceived business district, where he is driverless as a rule, he stops at the street line and whinnies for attention. As soon as the officer's white-gloved goes up in signal, he proceeds cautiously over. On several occasions his judgment of distance has far exceeded that of the officer and, by refusing to obey the signal given, he has averted collisions which would have proved disastrous. Everyone knows the animal, especially the confectioners on the route. More than fifteen sweet shops are on his route. "Ned" mounts the walk in front of each, neighing and pawing his demands, until a clerk rushes out and gives him his daily candied bit. As soon as he gets it he backs away and canters hurriedly to the next box to make up for loss of time. Gilbertson in telling of "Ned," declares that "blood will tell." The animal was sired by Tom Allen, the famous Hambletonian. He was given a tryout on the track, but failed to make good. However, although sold into ordinary life, he has many times comanded offers of $1,500 which his master has refused, a sum which was far greater than the price Tom Allen brought after his speed failed him. PARTING SHOT OPENS GUSHER Oil Well Was About to Be Abandoned as Worthless. Muskogee, Okla.—An oil well which it is believed will be in the 5,000 barrel class and will cause the opening of an extension of the famous Cushing field was started to flowing by a 27-quart shot of nitroglucerine made as a parting slap by the owners, who thought the well was worthless. This well was sunk in the sand in the edge of the Olton oil pool. It showed no signs of being productive and there were no productive wells around it. The owners were about to abandon it, but decided to try one more shot of nitroglucerine. Then the oil spouted all over the lease. BUZZARD CAME BACK. Free Half a Year, Belled Bird returned to Old Home. Lawrenceburg, Ind. A large old turkey buzzard that has been in the possession of Justice John W. Probst disappeared from his poultry yard last fall. Justice Probst supposed it had died. The buzzard had worn a small bell attached to its neck for many months. Sunday the justice was startled by hearing a bell ringing in the top of a tree in front of his home. He called the buzzard's name several times and was surprised to see the old bird suddenly fly down and alight or his front porch.

Inside of thirty days you can own a thriving prosperous business without investing any money. You can become one of the big money-makers in your community by mailing the coupon below. not only furnish you with a mation you need, but I tell you to go, what to say and no money. You Get Your Money If you will mail the coupon will explain how I will arrange that you will get your profit day you earn it. If you make day, you will have that $30 the evening of the same day, have to deliver the cost. Simple as A, B, C. I am one of the largest manufacturers of high-grade topcoats and raincoats in America. In every community I appoint a representative, and this representative has the same opportunity of making money as most merchants, doctors or professional men have. My representative doesn't have to pay rent nor salaries, nor take on the other ordinary business risks and expense, the profit he makes he keeps for himself. People like to buy direct from the factory, for all the money saved by selling this way is passed on to the customer. They know all about Comer All-Weather Topcoats and Rain Coats. They know they are big bargains. It is a common thing for one of my representatives to make $20 in a single day, and every dollar they make is net profit. J. R. Head, of Kansas, dfd. In a single day, Mr. Head made $69.50 clear profit for himself. W. R. Krieger made $20 in half an hour. George Carleen cleared $40 profit also very finely done. I want you to act as my representative, and all you need to do is call on my customers and send me their orders. It is the most pleasant, dignified and profitable work that any one can do. Build Up a Permanent, Profitable Business for Yourself I don't want you to think that this is any temporary proposition. You will soon find, after you get started, that your business grows week by week and month by month. Every year's business is bigger than last year's. And when you become known as a Comer representative, business will roll in just for the asking. How Much Can You Make? That depends on how much time you devote to this proposition. You can make anywhere from $100 to $200 a week. E. A. Sweet, of Michigan, made $1,200 for one month's work; and A. B. Spencer earned $625 in one month's spare time. W. J. McCray jumped his earnings from $2 a day to $16,800 in the last three years—and I could go on and on telling you about my representatives who have met with equal success. I make it easy for you to make an enormous income. I Special Notice The Comer Manufacturing Company is the largest business of its kind in the world. Any man who becomes a representative is assured of fair, square, honest treatment, and will be proud of his connection with the company. not only furnish you with all the information you need, but I tell you where to go, what to say and how to make money.

If you make $30 in one day, you will have that $30 in cash in the evening of the same day. You don't have to deliver the posts or collect the money due. I do that. When you drop an order into the mail-box, you are through, and you have your profits in your pocket. Don't Send Any Money You don't have to invest any money, and you don't have to put up any capital. Selling experience is not necessary, but, if you have it, so much the better. Some of my most successful representatives, who are now making from $100 to $200 a week, never had any previous experience of this kind. These representatives started in just as I am offering to start you. And they soon discovered that this was the easiest way they ever heard of to make big money. How to Get Started Just send me your name, and I will tell you how to start in this proposition, even if you can devote only one or two hours a day to it. Later on, when you find out how much money you can make and how delightful the work is, then you will want to put in your full time. I have paid thousands and thousands of dollars in cash to the readers of the public, who are now my representatives. They realize what a wonderful opportunity it is, whom as you join our organization, you will make an opportunity to become a member of the Camer Thousand A Month Club, and will be offered thousands of dollars in cash in addition to your regular income. Don't Delay—Get Started Don't wait until someone else gets in ahead of you. Just mail the coupon, and I will send you all the details of my offer. I will show you how you can have a permanent, profitable, honorable and pleasant business that will bring you a bigger income than the average merchant, doctor, lawyer or banker. I will show you how you can make $200 a week without working as hard as you are now. Don't miss this chance. Tear out the coupon and mail it to me right away.

Segregation 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 zeal 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 cement in this city in which white people were collecting white people, white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by a Republican and carried out all-embracing expo 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 girl appeared after she passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the most favorite of Secretary and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregationists, Col Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. If no use is 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 humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafferies 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 lunches 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 taking them of as soon as possible, because leopards injure, sings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglects of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, room for table 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 wrote invitations to the white employees. ence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general, asking them to assist us to off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whikes over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in wickness and accuracy in handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to Washington, D.C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and most of our girls are forced to account for inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for the employee who may 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 bars of the prison force. It also shows that the inferior whites pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American student worked in the office, 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 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 asked to work with another student as a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and 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. The rest of the employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a dental that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of the patients of the informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O. CLEVELAND. MAY 30. 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 and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The (jazette) 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 heroes young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy from Villard's town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over sixt 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 alt 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 Summer and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. Our girls their rest rooms, toilets and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, most of them with high age and 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 the most difficult course, the most 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) Washington, D. C. —The treasury department, according to the President, grant acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand employees there that they can 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 no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for colored. The toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience and travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of the 'delightful' retreat and the festivals and the presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing that clerks must accept segregation 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 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 treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, beaver board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view, the announcement to public view the formation of President Coolidge, were barely cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments 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 Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. 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 1900 years of discrimination and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature not white." The world respects only those who resent and resist prescriptions 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. - Beston (Mass.) Guardian. PORO Over three million pleased patrons endorse Poro Products More than seventy-five thousand agents Sell Poro Products.
