ADDRESSES A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Representing Millions of Dollars of Investor Capital—Prof. Neval H. Thomas Scores Again. Washington, D. C.—Neval H. Thomas, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., spoke before the Chamber of Commerce at the Atlantic City, N. J. Yacht Club Thursday night, on "Inter racial Good Will". This body is composed of the richest people at the resort, the proprietors of the huge hostelries that line the ocean front. Mr. Thomas told his audience of the value of good will between races, not only to the submerged group, but to the dominant as well. He told them of the aspiraservices they have rendered the nations of our people, and of the vast tion in all fields of endeavor. "The colored people in America", he said, "are simply seeking justice and all that the term means. They love their country to which they came even before you of the more favored race. They know no other land, and they want to know no other destiny here. They know that by yielding each man his full civil and political rights, and untrammeled economic opportunity, and equal protection of the laws they will be able to grow to full stature and make their maximum contribution to the common good. If, with half an opportunity we have been able to outstrip other races in taking on the best things in civilization, as we have done in these sixty years, how much more could we have given to our country if we had all of the rights and opportunities willingly accorded every other group that goes to make up our population? The granting to every man his due is the only solution of the American race problem, and the only hope for inter-racial peace. Good will between the two great races who are here to stay is not only noble sentiment but practical business sense. Dividends cannot flow from business in mob-striken communities. On the other hand property is destroyed. Neither can labor yield its maximum output unless there is an esprit de corps in its ranks, a feeling that is born of fair-dealing by the dominant group". A recent executive meeting the Memphis Engineers' Club created the "Tom Lee Fund of the Engineers' Club," to be "made permanent so long as Tom Lee and the Engineers' Club are in existence." Captain Napoleon Bonaparte Marshall, who has been serving as a military attache in Haltt, has resigned and will return to the States, it is said, because he has had enough of the ways of the American Occupation under General Russell, in dealing with the Natives.

Mons, Blaise-Diagne, famous member of the French Chamber of Deputies from Senegal, Africa, who was expected to tour America, this summer, and lecture in over fifteen metropolitan centers, is not expected to make the trip at the proposed time, due to recent developments in the French African Colonies.

Prince Kojo Houvenou, a royal African visitor from France and a Paris attorney, was subjected to gross indignities and serious injuries when he was forcibly ejected from a Chicago ultra-exclusive society grill-room in the Astor Hotel, last week, by police officers.

What Is Needed Is a Closer Association Particularly of the Intelligent of All Races in This Country—It Alone Will Eradicate Hate and the Silly American Prejudice—Another Splendid Article by Editor E. Haldeman-Julius. About the Negro question: I do not want the viewpoint of hate. That is too sickeningly familiar. It is contemptible! It is indefensible. We shall have to consider it, of course, and remember that it is a grave and significant aspect of the race problem. We cannot study this problem without referring for light to its beginnings in slavery and hatred. I prefer, however, that our discussion in the Weekly shall represent the opinions, not of confirmed "haters", but of men and women who can approach the question with a minimum of prejudice; who at least; let us say, are willing to base their views on the premise that the Negro is a human being. E. H. Gish (The Tracy, Philadelphia) recommends himself to us by this attitude. He is wrong—absolutely wrong, as I see it. But he is wrong in the spirit of a reasonable man. dice against the Negro is unknown. If white naturally dislikes to associate with black, as Mr. Gish tells us, why is it that this aversion is not prevalent in England or in France? Is the white American a different breed of animal? No—it is only that he has a different history, his relations with the Negro have been wrong, shametfully wrong, from the beginning. To say that the Negro is "different" is to say nothing to the point. White men are different from one another. Frenchmen are different from Americans. Negroes are different from Negroes: And why dislike some one because he is different? Speaking of New England, the early Puritans disliked the "different" Quakers—and persecuted them with godlike intensity. This marking of differences is simply a form of prejudice. There are thousands of intelligent white men and women who do not feel that the Negro is so profoundly and essentially "different" that they must shrink from him, show him the door, deny The association of the races, says Mr. Gish, creates the problem. This is true only in a very unimportant sense. If black man and white did not live in the same country, or in the same community, of course we should have no problem of their relations with one another. The fact is that the Negro is here. We cannot remove him. We cannot confine the race to a particular section of the country. Segregation is impossible—beyond what already exists in cities that have Negro districts. Circumstances force us to associate with the Negro in a considerable and unavoidable degree. The question is in what degree and on what terms we shall associate with him. Mr. Gish is wrong in saying that the white man has any natural or well-founded dislike for contact with the Negro. In the ancient world the white-skinned peoples had no dislike for, no aversion toward, no prejudice against the dark-skinned peoples. The Negro was a familiar and an equal. He came and went as other men. He was a free man, a builder of civilizations (notably the Egyptian civilization), a warrior, a scholar, a trader, an explorer—quite, as other men. This status of the Negro held until about the sixteenth century, and the growth of an extensive slave traffic. Then the Negro came to be regarded as a slave and Africa as a hunting ground. The story of this trade, and its transformation of the ancient, dignified and equal social role of the Negro, is a damnable blot on the record of white civilization. When the white man began to make a slave of the Negro, he ceased to regard him as an equal. He evolved a theory and an attitude of racial superiority. He justified his ill usage of the Negro by persuading himself that the latter was inferior, not really human, a creature designed to be a slave. Preachers, responding to this social and spiritual need, declared that the design was of God—and, reaching for their Bibles, they proved that slavery was a sacred, divine institution. The slave trade grew rapidly in America. Slavery established itself in America as a solid and powerful institution, dominating a large, closely united section of the country; the social reaction was profound and it developed not only in the South, but in the North, a peculiar attitude toward the Negro; slavery lasted in America—a strange and savage 'anachronism, regarded with horror by the civilized world—until well past the middle of the nineteenth century; and out of this long-continued deep-seated institution of slavery grew a strange and savage psychology and pseudo-philosophy of relationship between the races. We feel the effects to this day. The race problem in America is simply a continuance—an unsettled phase—of the problem of slavery. North and South, this is true. The feeling against the Negro is not so marked in the North, not because the races have associated in a lesser degree, but because the North has not the same intense, inveterate, institutional traditions as the South. The North, with no traditions of slavery such as exist in the South, is not bitterly blamed against the Negro: but, influenced by the spirit of southern traditions—by the peculiar history of the Negro. In America—the white North feels (it is a feeling, a poorly reasoned emotional attitude) that the black man is inferior and not to be treated as a social equal. I have referred to the position held by the Negro in the ancient world, and maintained until a few hundred years ago—until the slave trade created a false and greed-inspired conception. And today, outside of America, the foolish preju- N. UNION N. STRIUG LE COPY FIVE CENTS ENT" T OF RACE HATE! O INDEFENSIBLE AND HE HELD BY ANYONE.

If white naturally dislikes to associate with black, as Mr. Gish tells us, why is it that this aversion is not prevalent in England or in France? Is the white American a different breed of animal? No—it is only that he has a different history, his relations with the Negro have been wrong, shamefully wrong, from the beginning. To say that the Negro is "different" is to say nothing to the point. White men are different from one another. Frenchmen are different from Americans. Negroes are different from Negroes. And why dislike some one because he is different? Speaking of New England, the early Puritans disliked the "different" Quakers—and persecuted them with godlike intensity. This marking of differences is simply a form of prejudice. There are thousands of intelligent white men and women who do not feel that the Negro is so profoundly and essentially "different" that they must shrink from him, show him the door, deny him fellowship. The Negro is not so "different" that he belongs in the zoo: Mr. Gish says that the Negro must be reminded of his "inferiority" so that he will not thrust himself into uncomfortable association with the white man. The Negro does not wish to force his company upon anyone. A white man does not insist upon associating with another man because the two are equals: Association, white or black—white and black—is and are equals: Association, white or black—is and should be a matter of personal choice and taste; only this, and nothing more. The Negro is today "as intelligent, as artistic, as enterprising, and as noble in character as his white brother". That is, some Negroes are. And some white men are not. And if the Negro race, whose freedom is comparatively recent and which has never enjoyed the auspicious circumstances of the white race, has not been able in less than a century to make cultural repair of the wrong of centuries (little aided, much obstructed, by the white wrongdoers), what shall we say? Is the development of the Negro race in the interests of civilization? Will we help or hinder this development by persisting in our present attitude? I do indeed believe, in the words of Mr. Gish, "that the Negro should be admitted to full and equal social fellowship with the white race". I believe that it is reasonable. I believe that it is just—that it is humane—that it is absolutely practical and that it would be accepted as perfectly, natural if white people were not so unnaturally prejudiced—and, finally, I believe that it would improve the whole of our social relations. Girard (Kan.) Weekly. "THE MILLS OF THE GODS". Echoes of That Notorious North Carolina Allocation of Affections Sult, Several Years Ago. Charlotte, N. C.—Henry B. Varner, (white), editor of the "Davidson Dispatch", Lexington, N. C., who figured sensationally in a civil suit in the federal court, about five years ago, preferred by him against a prominent and wealthy Afro-American of Lexington, alleging allenation of his wife's affection and seeking to recover the modest sum of $100,000 in consideration of the same, but who finally took a nonsuit and signed a withdrawal of the charges, collapsed on his way here, recently, on a business trip and died, several days later, in a local hospital. It would seem rather singular that of the witnesses upon whom Varner relied to prove his infamous case, several of the principal ones have died suddenly. One died of heart failure and his son was killed in an accident. One died in a drunken debauch. Another was tried for murder and incarcerated in the criminal insane department of the state prison for life. One dropped dead on the streets of Lexington, a short time ago, and now Varner passes. Two others have died natural deaths. The old adage that "mills of the gods grind slowly but exceedingly fine" seems to have been fully exemplified in Varner's side of the case. Many an innocent southern Afro-American has lost his life in just such a case. Varner's wife (white) helped to exonerate the Lexington member of the race. While the case was pending, however, he was forced to flee the state and make his residence in Cincinnati, O. Prior to the institution of the suit, he had foamed Editor Varner thousands of dollars. Mrs. Varner left her husband while the case was pending in the courts. --- One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1925. The fundamentalist - modernist battle that is going on in certain quarters indicates a wider cleavage than that of one church denomination. Forces of the world are fast lining up into two great divisions, and many names are given to either side. The two schools of thought find expression in the radical and conservative, progressive and reactionary, flapperism and old-timeism, youth and age, liberalism and intolerance, the pace that kills and the simple life. It is not difficult, these days, to find the school of our choice, but it is rather difficult to find the consistent middle-ground and stick to it. AMALGAMATION INEVITABLE Editor E. Haldeman-Julius is right again. The Negro is not so "different" that white men in the South (and North, too) refuse to practice the most intimate "social equality" with Negro women, and white women in the South (and North, too) do the same thing with Negro men. It would certainly be real interesting to know just how many white men and women of the South, poor and well-to-do, have followed Negro women and men to the North, in the last seven or eight years, and are living with them. We know of such cases here in Cleveland. This is only one more phase of the "migration problem", and so-called "race problem". Racial-hate will not stop the association of the races in this country or any other, and has never done so. It will only retard its growth. The history of South American countries and southern Europe proves this beyond all question or doubt. It is only a question of time when this same will be true of America, too. And it will do the prejudiced no good to keep their eyes and minds closed to this fact. TOM LEE AND THE PRESIDENT Wonder if the visit of the Memphis hero, Tom Lee, last week, caused the President to give any thought to the miserably insulting mistreatment our employees (Tom Lee's people) are being daily subjected to in the departments at the nation's capital and elsewhere in the government service? It certainly ought to, as it only requires one short order or a few words from him to stop it all. Remember, Mr. President, that every one of them is as loyal an American citizen as Tom Lee, matchless hero, and entitled to the proper treatment accorded every other government employee but them. Your speeches and message statement, urging the American people (white) to accord Afro-Americans proper treatment, are idle preachments until you practice what you preach. GET OUT OF HAITH! Pierre Haudicourt, a lawyer, of Port au Prince, Haiti, was in Washington, D. C., recently. Mr. Haudicourt is a former member of the Hague Peace Tribunal and has represented his country in other distinguished missions. He went to Washington to file a memorandum with the Secretary of State, Mr. Kellogg, and with President Coolidge, in which he asked for relief from the American occupation and withdrawal of the pressure which nullifies the Haitian constitution. Under the law of Haiti, next*year is the time for a presidential election. President Borneo will have completed his term. Unless "Uncle Sam" loosens his grip, the proper proclamations for an election will not be sent out this October and Borneo will be continued in office. President Borneo was practically forced on the people of that country by the arbitrary and outrageous "cracker" American control or "occupation" because he would be a pliant tool in its hands, and he has fully justified its confidence in him to the positive and great detriment of Haiti and its people. President Coolidge ought to direct the Secretary of War to withdraw the marines and the rest of that "cracker" American control, at once. Indeed, this ought to have been done, many months ago. According to the sworn testimony of a high officer in the marines, given many months ago before a U. S. Senate investigating committee, more than three thousand natives had been killed by the marines. In addition many Haitian women have been outraged in true southern American "style" by the "crackers". Then, too, this country has absolutely no legal right in that country, unless "might makes right", and our government, which includes President Coolidge, of course, knows it. Get out of Haiti! PRIME SPORT NEWS O'Neal's Blues Play Lorain. A real test is in store for the Cleveland Blues, Sunday, when they tackle the Lorain Tellings at Lorain. Joe Green's boys have recently entered the new O. and P. Triple A league and have been going great in their last four games. O'Neal's Blues have been prepping, daily, for the leaguers and promise to surprise them. About a hundred followers of O'Neal and the Blues have promised to root for them in Lorain. The Blues Win and Lose. Last Sunday, the Blues nosed out the Bedford A. C. at Bedford in a hard-fought game, 6 to 5. Reed hurled a fine game and should have won 4 to 2 but for errors by hismates. He fanned eleven. Syas pitched well for Bedford. Boyd and Branagan were the Blues' heavy batters. Saturday at Conneaut, the locals lost an interesting game, 10 to 8. Keyes pitched well but errors were costly. Clark and Boyd led the Blues' batting. An overflow crowd saw the game. The Giants Trim the Stars Twice. Last Saturday at Hooper field the Cleveland Giants won from the New Castle (Pa.) Stars, 11 to 0, Miles of the Giants making a three base-hit and Summers and Bonner, two teams one each, Sunday afternoon, they won 17 to 7. Giants' fade-away ball held the Stars. A team seven sessions and then faded from the scene. Supported in mediocre style by his teammates, he hurled whitewash baseball during his stay on the mound, but the Stars were presented with a quintet of talles, Giants, however, won out in the ninth. Giants, produced those behind the steady pitching of and were lucky to pull the game out of the fire with a rally in the closing chapter. A single by Johnson and a double by Jackson produced the winning counter. Summers, Miles, Morrison and Johnson starred with the stick for the Giants, Jack-Emerson and a triple, Woldridge, Noah and kept the New Castle boys in the running, and Windfield made a triple. Notes cut off at least five local runs with sensational catches and throws. Jockey Winkfield Now a Landlord. Paris, France—James Winkfield, the popular Afro-American jockey, who trains an extensive racing stable own, has bought property and plans to build a large villa modern stable for his string of thoroughbreds. The purchase price is thought to be at least a million francs, about $190,000. The property is approximately 5,000 metres in width and 7,000 metres in length. The villa and stable will be one of the most attractive for those who follow French turf activities. The horse is directly opposite Prince Akhans' famous villa and flower garden. From the hills of Kentucky, where he was born, to a villa in France, and reputed to be the wealthiest American jockey in this country, except protege his during Frank's preliminary rising days in the United States, has been the marvelous rise of James Winkfield, the idol of French turf enthusiasts, whose name is also carved in the history of Monte Carlo. COOLIDGE PRAISES A HERO! Tom Lee Saved 32 Lives When River Steamer Sank—Meets The President. Washington, D. C.—Tom Lee of Memphis, credited with saving the lives of thirty-two persons (white) when the steamer Norman went down, recently, in the Mississippi river, with a loss of more than a score of lives, was received, last week Thursday, by President Coolidge. Accompanied by Paul Block and George Morris, owner and editor, respectively, of the Memphis News-Secimitar, who arranged for Lee's stay in Washington, the Afro-American was ushered into the president's office, was commended by him for his bravery, and later was photographed shaking hands with him.

Wakeman, O.—The annual meeting of the local High School alumni association was held in the Congregational church (white) here, last week Friday evening, and was more than a "grand success". J. W. Hunter of the class of 1896, a resident of the city of Cleveland, the institution's only Afro-American graduate, presided, having been especially invited to do so, and "covered himself with glory". He and Mrs. Hunter were the only members of the race in attendance at the five-course banquet of 100 plates. As toastmaster, Mr. Hunter introduced eight persons who responded to toasts and he did it in a manner that delighted all. His subject for the opening address was, "The Meeting of Friends From the Congregational School, who schooled in this town. Those present included the alumni and the school faculty. The principal of the High school was a classmate of Mr. Hunter. The cordiality of his treatment has made a wonderful impression upon him. It is most encouraging indeed. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1295 BEARS THICK AS SQUIRRELS 'GRAND OLD MAN OF THE WOODS' TELLS OF THE TIME IN MAINE. PELTS SOLD AT COLLAR APIEC Veteran Hunter, Now 98, Chats of Early Days and Doughnuts Fried In Bear's Grease. Bangor, Maine.-Uncle Greenleaf Davis, the hermit of Shin Pond, bear hunter, nature lover and philosopher, is the "grand old man of the woods." On the death of his father sixty years or more ago he inherited a log house, a primitive sawmill driven_by water power, and a township of timberland containing about 23,000 acres of spruce and pine. But of all this he has little or nothing left save a camp on the shores of Shin Pond and a few acres surrounding it; for he never was a business man, his tastes running rather to poetry and the study of nature. For many years he has spent most of his time at Shin Fond, which is near the town of Patten, in the northern tip of Penobscot county, where he kept bachelor hall and followed his natural bent of seeking companionship with birds and animals and fishes rather than with men. In mid-winter it has been his habit to seek greater comfort in the village of Patten, but by far the greater part of the last sixty years has been spent apart from mankind. Henry D. Thoreau, the famous American naturalist, visited Mount Katadin in 1843, and Davis, then only twenty-six, accompanied him on several weeks' tour of the forests of that region, assisting him in gathering material for his book "The Maine Woods." Besides being a hunter and fisherman, Davis is something of a naturalist. It was be who made the discovery that the beautiful markings of birdseye maple are caused by woodpeckers seeking the sweet sap of the tree, the dents of their sharp bills leaving scars that in time assume a reddish hue. The old man's memory goes back to the days when game, instead of being scarce, was rather too plentiful, and when the Tarratines, original proprietors of this part of Maine, had not taken to wearing "store clothes" and living in frame houses, but were real Indians without an idea in the world outside of hunting and eating, and a little fighting between times.

Every fall father used to call us boys and get up a bear hunt to get meat to roast through the winter. Sometimes the hunt lasted a week, sometimes longer, but we never tilt till we had put by the carcasses of eight or ten fat bears. "In the days when 'Tippacano' ran for president there was no railroad within 100 miles of where we lived, and if any one had told us about Chicago dressed beef coming through to Maine in refrigerator cars we would have locked him up as a crazy. The hindquarters of a fat bear that had fed on beechnuts, when hung on a spit, roasted before a hardwood fire and basted in its own fat until it was shiny brown, made eating good enough for the minister or the first select man. The kidney fat of bears, which was oily and soft, like lard, was used for frying doughnuts and for bread shortening, while the harder belly fat was run into candies. I have eaten thousands of brown doughnuts that were fried in bears' grease. That same grease today I could sell to. druggists for $5 a quart. "As for the skins of the bears, we rubbed them on the fleshy side with powdered alum and salt and used them for rugs, bed coverings and sleigh robes. Nobody placed any great value on the pelt of a bear in those days. It was the meat we were after, and as the skin had to come off before we could get at the meat, we considered it merely a by-product. Sixty or seventy years ago one could buy all the bear pelts he wanted for a dollar apiece. Now they are $15 to $25, and many of them poor at that. "See this wipe?" pointing to a long white mark across his cheek. "A mother bear gave me that when I caught one of her cubs. She caught me 'with the goods,' as they say now. A mother bear can lick anything in creation when defending her young." 25 $ ^{¢}$ —is the right price to pay for a good tooth paste— Clean, Clear, Healthy Beautiful Eyes Are a Wonderful Asset Murine is Cleansing, Soothing Refreshing and Harmless You Will Like It.

San Rafael, Cal.-A bloodhound pup, heading a passage of four, drove John Bogden, "human eel," from cover in a dense clump of bushes in the Marin hills, south of St. Vincent, and ended the notorious jail breaker's sixth attempt to escape. Bogden emerged smiling. "Pretty lucky," he said. "You'd never have found me but for the dog!" An hour before Bogden had distanced Deputy Sheriff William Aiken in a quarter-mile race for liberty across the marsh, followed by a fusilade of bullets from the latter's gun. Aiken had obtained the first glimpse of Bogden since the fugitive's escape from Marin county jail, when, seeking to gain a heavily timbered ridge, he found it necessary to cross an open marsh. Recognizing Bogden, the deputy called to him to halt, Bogden ran, and Aliken opened fire. When Bogden reached the timber, 200 yards in advance of his pusser, he turned, waved triumphantly and disappeared. Sheriff Keating collected his men, and placing them at intervals of 20 feet apart on the ridge, which was bounded on one side by the bay and the other by impassable marshes, combed the timber until the blood-hound found the quarry. Henry W. Young, who escaped with Bogden, is still at liberty. Bogden said he left Young exhausted in the hills above Santa Venetia. Once during the twenty-six-hour pursuit of the fugitive Bogden said two sheriffs engaged in the hunt sat for an hour on a bench under which he was hiding in a shack in the vicinity of the Catholic cemetery near San Rafael. "They searched the place and talked about me." Bogden said. "I could have reached out and pulled their legs." CLAIRVOYANT'S CON GAME. New York—The Wall street Journal says: Out on the Pacific coast there are several clairvoyants who have built up a large business giving advice on the purchases of securities. The evil has become so great that the State Corporation department has issued a circular regarding it. The circular came through a complaint being made to the state department that a clairvoyant in San Francisco sold to his clients in one year 163,000 shapes of a mining stock for which he had paid 1 cent a share at prices ranging from 15 cents to 50 cents a share, declaring that by his power of "second sight" he was able to see great value in the stock. Complain was made that by recommending purchase of certain stocks these clairvoyants were violating the blue-sky law of the state, and the circular says: "While the blue-sky law offers a considerable degree of protection to investors in securities in California, against misrepresentation and fraud, it has distinct limitations. The public may safely assume, for instance, that chlairoyants and crystal gazers, who draw on the secrets of the stare and advise credulous victims to purchase stocks, have not been licensed by the State Corporation department." The commissioner states that it has come to his knowledge that large amounts of worthless stocks have been sold through such methods in San Francisco and other cities.

Simple as A, B, C. I am one of the largest manufacturers of high-grade topoacats 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 professionals men have. My representative doesn't have the other ordinary business risks and expenses. All 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, Kramer, In a single day, Mr. Head made $69.50 clear profit for himself. R. W. Krieger made $20 in half an hour. George Garon cleared $40 profit his very first day. 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 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.

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. ence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked 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 centuries in this city, creating white and black 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 institution by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany papers, is tenacious and on to by our Republican president. Only last week, a woman girl appeared after being 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 special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregationists, 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 humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferla 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 lepers. The injustice stings, and the when they protest that they are far more capable than the whites, and 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 solitude 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- 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. hurried a protest to the postmaster, generals before it was 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 whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have wop contests in quickness and accuracy in the job. The color crews work hard, 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, 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 employee's room. We 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 forces 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 with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exhibition of our employees to 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 arrested for assaulting 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 dismissed. By this severe punishment the police 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, D. SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1295. 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 is so well settled upon it, 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 rebel during the Civil War, and a 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 discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy the cruiser of the crisis. She moved to Villard to town 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 altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in the rest rooms, toilet, and sitting statues. None are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, 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 take the inferior position, and result in 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 position since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton is from the West Indies, and 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 clerks. The department of employees are 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 no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to experience physical inconvenience at times, and travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this 'delightful retreat' and the many creatures that the tree presides 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 in a degree to other reasons in a dilemma, to act. Our 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 the 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 registrar of the office and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, beaver board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were used 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 bureaus 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. Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau a segregated section of 7 employees of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of uncontested 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 and have no 'grits.'" The world spects 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. - Beston (Mass.) Guardian. EDITOR HALDEMAN-JULIUS SAYS WHAT IS TRUE OF INDIVIDUALS IS NOT NECES SARILY TRUE OF RACES 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. "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 attainments of the white man. He suggests that my view of the question is too much on the surface and not far enough under the skin. SIX FOREIGN WOMEN PROTEST THE INSULTING SEGREGATION OF OUR PEOPLE AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL.

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 Delliah Beasley, a graduate of 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 Alamanda 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 80,000, Miss Beasley reported daily by air-mail or telegraph the humor, path and contempt that showed one another in varied experiences southern "aristocracy." The confusion displayed and artifice employed to recall an invitation to a reception for the delegates at the Governor's mansion was a travesty on southern hospitality as collossal as 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 one of the most important that of the first families of Virginia were "jail-birds" of England. Before landing in England 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 land of the free and open air. The following Sunday at Metropolitan A. M.

In the meantime maybe the Christian missionaries from now benighted countries will reach America and teach the Council of Women how to interact with others "Do unto others as ye would that others should do unto you."
