LYNCHING IS MURDER Says a Georgia Judge—More Lynch-Murders in That State than Any Other in the Union—A Heart-Rending Story. Sylvania, Ga.—The recent lynch at Rocky Ford, the only occurrence of the kind in Georgia, this year thus far, came in for a severe arraignment by Judge H. B. Strange, in his charge to the grand jury on the convening of superior court here. "I do not condone, or pallate in the least the crime the victim of the mob is alleged to have committed," said Judge Strange. "If he was guilty, he deserved the extreme penalty of the law, that of death. But the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Georgia expressly provide that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. * * Instead of giving the case this direction, the mob disregarded the law and: I understand, burned this party at the stake. As much as the victim may have deserved death, every man engaged in that lynching is guilty of murder. * * * They have a stain upon them that will be hard to eradicate." Judge Strange' embodied in his charge a striking story of a relative whom, as a boy, he heard make the statement at a Springfield camp meeting that God had forgiven him for every sin he had committed except one and that he never expected to be forgiven for that. "I was quite a boy," said Judge Strange, "but I knew what he referred to. During the war between the states he had helped to lynch Brad Jones for buying cotton and other produce from the slaves and because he sympathized with the Yankees. This man was no weakling: he was then in his prime and looked every inch a man. But he had made the mistake that a great many men make. He had helped to take a life contrary to law and he was suffering the pangs of his acts. What will these men do when they have to stand before the Judge of all earth? There will be no escape there. You may escape an earthly judge, but then we shall see Him face to face and we shall know as we are known. You as grand jurors investigate this matter and relieve your own consciences, as this court has done." The charge made a profound impression, and Judge Strange is backed by the leading people of this section in his courageous stand.

What a Leading Jurist of The South Said of Mob Violence and Lynch-Murder. "Every 'mob is a stab' at the sovereignty of the people, and a malignant denial to them by force of arms of the right to the freedom of orderly government. * * * The fire bells would ring out the alarm, and the streets of any of our cities would swarm with armed and indignant people if they were told that a gang of intruders were coming to expel their chosen judges from the judgment seats, and put irresponsible and vicious men, chosen by the maudraders, in their places. Yet that is the mission of the mob when it arms to storm a jail and put a prisoner to death. If men would only reflect what treason mob law is to their homes and institutions, mobs would be well nigh impossible. Aside from this attack on government, the evils of the mob have almost boundless sweep in all the relations of life. Can any man, in the wildest flight of the brain, picture Ulysses S. Grant or Joseph Benson Foraker, no matter what the charge, against the criminal, joining a mob to break down a jail, and taking "a prisoner out to hang him? Why not? Because they are types of courage and honor, and justice and veneration for law, and all these cry out against such an act"—The late Judge Thomas G. Jones of Alabama. All the plans for entertaining our State Federation of Women's clubs, which convenes in this city, June 23, 24, 25 and 26, have been completed. Sessions will be held at St. John's A. M. E. church. State night will be Wednesday evening. The welcome will be extended. Tuesday evening, and a reception given, Thursday evening, at the Women's club, by the City federation. Other features will make it one of the most interesting sessions in the organization's history. Various clubs will entertain during the week. This will be the silver anniversary of the Federation. Mrs. Carrie Clifford, a former Clevelander; Miss Hallel Q. Brown, Mrs. Mary Bethune, national president, and others of prominence in the organization have signified their intention to attend. The public is invited to the sessions. THREE TELLING VICTORIES For Our People in Detroit—All the Result of Legal Battles—That is the Way to Win Our Rights That Are Being Withheld. Detroit, Mich.—Mrs. Elita Mathis and family were notified by certain white people to vacate their home, and upon their refusing to do so, the whites stoned the house, breaking three windows and a door. The damage was repaired. When another attack was made, stones being thrown through the windows, Mrs. Mathis fired a revolver in the direction of the attack, the bullets lodging in the window casing of a neighboring policeman's house. The policeman's wife swore out a warrant against Mrs. Mathis charging that Mrs. Mathis had fired at her. Judge Harry B. Kelden dismissed the complaint and quashed the warrant. Lee Sullivan, employed by a local construction company, when told to stay at work until midnight, by the "straw boss", said he would quit at 5:30, the usual time. The boss, a "cracker" from Tennessee told his superior, another Tennessee "cracker", who seized a shovel and advanced upon Sullivan, using gile language. Sullivan seized two bricks and ordered his employer to stop. The coward then got a 45 caliber revolver from the office, ordered Sullivan to accompany him there, made him sit on the floor and said he would kill him as an object-lession for the rest of the "---" in the gang. Sullivan seized the revolver and, on being assaulted by his employers, fired, wounding them. They escaped through the window. Sullivan was found not guilty by a jury of assault, with intent to kill. Attempt to exclude two of our girls and a boy, senior students in Highland Park High school, from the annual graduating class outing to Washington. D. C., led to the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. investigating and taking the case before the Wayne county court court. Suit was brought against the Highland Park board of education, Thad. J. Knapp, superintendent of schools; Harvey B. Wallace, president of the board, and Wm. Prakken, principal it was shown that the two girls, Jennie Mae Clark, and Esther Eastman, and the boy, Roy Thurman, had helped collect funds for the outing; were students in good-standing, and were to be excluded solely because of their color, despite the fact that the N. A. C. C. P. local branch had agreed to provide lodgings for our students on the trip. Judge Adolph F. Marshner, presiding circuit judge, issued an order upon the defendants to show cause why they should not be permanently enjoined "from discriminating against the petitioners and any other person on account of race, color or religion." Our girls and the boy are to accompany their class and will go on all sightseeing tours, returning with the class from Washington. Will Marlon Cook's Son Wins. New York City—Mercer Cook, son of Will Marion Cook and Abbie Mitehell (Cook), who will graduate from Amherst College (class 1025) has just won the Simpson Fellowship of $1,500, which entitles him to attend the Sorbonne in Paris. France, where he will seek a doctorate degree. He made Phl Beta Kappa, several weeks ago. He recently won an oratorical prize of $50 and is entered in the big oratorical contest at Amherst. He is the nephew of John H. Cook, a clerk in the Warg Department at Washington, D. C. The Cooks were residents of Cleveland, O., in the days of their youth. Garvey's Boat Trip Cost $50,000. New York City—Garvey's steamer, the Booker T. Washington, is back after a trip to the West Indies, costing $50,000. Engines broke down in Philly. There was a fire off Norfolk, Va. The steamer was held at Havana for debts. A new fire box was installed at Kingston, Jamaica. The white captain was fired at Colon, Panama. At Charleston, S. C., there was a collision at the wharf. Sentenced For Peonage. Anderson, S. C.—Four, white men were sentenced to the Atlanta penitentiary after their conviction in the U. S. court here, May 29, on charges involving peonage. Guy Hall, on whose farm the government charged Thomas Washington had been held in peonage, was sentenced to five years' imprisonment and fined $1,000 for peonage, and two years' imprisonment and $500 fine on a charge of conspiracy to violate the Federal peonage law. The Hughes Will Sustained Lexington, Ky.-The jury in the John T. Hughes (white) will case returned a verdict declaring the paper in controversy to be his last will and testament. He left the bulk of a more than $200,000 estate to Elen Davis, his Afro-American housekeeper, a son by her and several Afro-American servants. The jury was out only twelve minutes. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS HIS SELECTION A KU KLUX KLAN VICTORY, PURE AND SIMPLE. Three Board Members Resign as a Result of McCord's Election—Yes, This Is the Same Individual Who Was Superintendent of Springfield's Public Schools. Doings of the Race Akron, O.—George E. McCord, former superintendent of the Springfield (O.) public schools, was elected superintendent of the Akron schools, Monday-night, to succeed Carroll R. Reed, who resigned recently. As a result of the election by the "majority four" of seven board members, the three minority board members resigned. They are Mrs. A. Ross Reed, Mrs. C. W. Garrett and Board President H. T. Waller. Mrs. Reed's resignation takes effect immediately. Mrs. Garrett's, July 1, and Mr. Waller's at the end of the school year, next week. Minority school board members and citizens at the board meeting, Monday night, accused J. B. Hanan, George Reck, Charles Sweeney and J. A. Cunningham of deceiving them with regard to the proposed appointment of McCord. After a petition of Akron public school teachers and principals had been presented to the board, 93 percent of them asking the appointment of Assistant, Superintendent Frank D. McElroy, Rev. George Cross Banner, was given the floor, as was former State Representative Gus Kusch. Rev. Mr. Banner declared Board Member Hanan, said to be affiliated with the Akron Ku Klux Klan, had assured the educational committee of the Chamber of Commerce that McElroy would be named to succeed his chief. Rev. Mr. Banner accused Hanan of going back on his promise by indorsing the appointment of McCord at a secret meeting of the "majority four", Sunday. Hanan denied this. Mrs. Carrett, Mrs. Reed and President Waller denounced "the unprecedented tactics" of the majority members, whom they accused of holding secret sessions to frame their policies. The "minority three" are the senior board members. The board majority, in selecting Mr. McCord as the new superintendent, voted to give him a three-year contract, paying Eleven thousand Afro-Americans are employed on Pullman cars. Factional fights have caused the suspension of a Newark, N. J., lodge of Elks. Bishop W. Sampson Brooks of Baltimore has sailed for Liberia, Africa, via England. The Harlem ("Afro") district of N. Y.

Howard University, Washington. D. C., graduated 300; Lincoln, Pa. University, 43, and Wilberforce, O. University, 200, this month. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, of Howard University, has resigned his other presidency—of Curry (color-line) School of Expression, located at Boston. Howard University has conferred the degree of doctor of laws on President Gilbert H. Jones of Wilberforce University, a son of Bishop Joshua H. Jones. The Riffs, who have whipped the Spaniards over in Morocco, Africa, and are now fighting the French, are mulatto Moors of Arab and "Negro" descent. The dedication of Dorrence Brooks Square, at 136th St. and Edgecombe Ave. Harlem, N. Y. City, named in honor of Dorrence Brooks, a valiant deceased war veteran, took place on June 7. In Baltimore, our teachers are conducting a vigorous campaign to have their salaries in the public school system placed upon a parity with those paid to their white contemporaries. C.

Springfield, O.—George E. McCord was employed by the Springfield public schools as a teacher and superintendent for about fourteen years. He was first employed as a teacher of physics and mathematics in the high schools, serving in this capacity for about seven years. In 1917 he was elected superintendent, succeeding Carey Bogges. He served as superintendent until 1923, when he resigned, following the election of a school board pledged to oust him. During his term as superintendent his most notable achievement was carrying to completion a $1,000,000 school building program. He went before the people for a bond issue, which was voted, and then created four new school buildings and built additions to two others, besides adding rooms to other buildings. He also inaugurated the junior high, a school plan in Springfield and a "jim-crow" school, but was defeated in this after a stronomous court fight of many months. This largely forced his resignation as superintendent of the public schools here. We are sure for our people of Akron. They are up against it now. He gained state wide prominence in 1922 through his testimony at the Klan trials here, when he admitted on the witness stand that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and praised the order and its principles. In the election of 1923, his administration was the principal issue, an anti-administration ticket for school board being elected by a large majority with a combination of anti-Klan and anti-administration votes. Immediately after the election McCord resigned, giving as his reason the election of a majority of board members opposed to his policies. He left the city shortly afterward, going to Columbus, where he has been proprietor of a drug store. at the Raleigh Hotel, that city, week before last, led to a walk out. Good! the only thing "defenseless" or "peculiar" about President Coolidge, as we see it, is his "tragic" unwillingness to make the nominations of our men for office that he is under every obligation to make.—Baltimore (Md.)

After a week's deliberation, Howard University faculty has decided not to charge the striking students with absences and not to penalize the strikers or enforce the "20-cut rule" until it has been modified and the method of certifying records for absences perfected. Fred Randolph, son of Atty, William H. Randolph, of Pittsburgh, was winner of the first prize in an oratorical contest at the University of Pittsburgh, May 29. He is our first student to win first prize, the one of our boys won second prize, last year. The reward was $10. Kittrell, N. C., college has received the check for $100,000 from Benj, N. Duke, tobacco magnate, of Durham, N. C., and New York, to be used in furthering the building program of the college. An additional $100,000 was given in stock of the Southern Power Co. and will go into an endowment fund. Joseph R. Kirk, the U. S. Marine, (white), a "cracker", who was recently indicted in Florida on a charge of brutally slashing a young woman of the race, found tied to a tree in a dying condition, has been sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment in Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. Harry T. Burlleigh, harbone soloist and teacher, former Erie, Pa. boy, for years a resident of N. Y.

SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1925. The Hon. Walter H. Cohen, U. S. surveyor of customs of New Orleans, La., says the President is not going to recognize the "illy-white" of that state. Well, he is doing it elsewhere in the South. --- The only "Negro" in this country, who has the temerity to try to apologize for President Coolidge, who by the way refuses to do it for himself, is Nahum Daniel Brascher of the "Negro" Associated Press. Lord, have mercy! It is a wonder our people of Washington or Chicago do not "run him out of town". "Noomdy" wants a job. --- The Board of Education of Dayton is holding up the appointment of any Afro-American teachers in an effort to force our people of that city to accept "jim-crow" (separate) schools. The Board will soon learn that it is only trifling—if indeed it does not know it now. Intelligent and loyal Dayton Afro-Americans will never consent to the establishing of "jim-crow" schools in that city. Of this the Board and all others may rest assured. --- President Coolidge is "at it," again—talking nicely but utterly to practice what he preaches. In his Minnesota speech, Monday, he urged "national unity." Fine chance for "national unity" in this country with the President permitting the most aggravating and insulting and unconstitutional diserination against citizen-employees of this country "right under his nose" in the departments at Washington, D.C., as well as elsewhere in the government service. MARY B. TALBERT MEMORIAL FUND. Mrs. Clara B. Hardy of St. Paul, sister of the late Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, is in Cleveland in the interest of the Mary B. Talbert Memorial Fund, to be used for the maintenance of the Frederick Douglass home (at Anacostia, near Washington, D.C.), now the headquarters of our National Federation of Women's clubs. This is the result of the untiring efforts of Mrs. Talbert not long before her death, and after the late Booker T. Washington had failed in an effort to relieve the property of a considerable indebtedness. Our local churches and women's clubs, particularly, should encourage and help Mrs. Hardy all possible because her cause is entirely worthy. Frederick Douglass' home means much to the race. He was our greatest leader and we have produced none to equal him since his death. Therefore, the Douglass home should be kept in proper condition as a memorial both to him and the splendid woman who saved it to the race. Help Mrs. Hardy! She is the guest of Mr. Arthur T. Abbott and daughter, 2127 E. 96th St., Cleveland. KU KLUX KLAN VICTORY! Our people of Akron have our sympathy and will need the help of all our people of the state, before many months, just as did those in Springfield when Geo. E. McCord, the advocate of "jim-crow" schools, was superintendent of the public schools of that city, several years ago. His election to the superintendency of the public schools of the "rubber city" means trouble for the Afro-American residents of Akron such as they have never before known. There can be no doubt of this, especially since McCord's election has been secured thru the work of members of the Ku Klux Klan of that city; and he is a "citizen of the Invisible Empire", better known as the K. K. K. The long-drawn-out battle, in and out of the courts of Springfield, McCord and his kluxer- THE GEEVUM GIRLS supporters of that city gave our people there, and others in the state who interested themselves in that memorable fight, is still fresh in the minds of all Ohio Afro-Americans and they, and our people of Akron particularly, may as well begin now to prepare for just such another battle with the place of conflict Akron. Let our leaders, male and female, in that city heed this warning and begin to organize to fight organization (the K. K. K.) The management of that "club carnival", held at the foot of E. 40th St., Cleveland, from May 11 to June 2, seems to have "put something over" on at least 11 of our local women's clubs that has apparently caused no end of dissatisfaction. One of the ladies most interested informs The Gazette that eleven representatives of clubs who helped make the carnival a success were promised 15 per cent (in clubhouse stock) of their daily receipts at the carnival. The clubhouse is located at 2345 E. 40th St. Instead of the 15 per cent (stock) promised, the 11 club workers were given $700 in stock and a like amount of stock was kept by the management's head who, it is also said, was to get only 17 per cent in stock. $1,400 were cleared, from the carnival. If the foregoing is true, the 11 clubs should get "together, or at least some of them, and take the matter into the courts where it will be straightened out instanter. The matter should not be permitted to rest as it is. Fight for your rights, ladies! WHY OUR PEOPLE OPPOSE ANTI-INTER-MARRIAGE LAWS! Commenting on the victory won in Michigan by our people in defeating a local anti-intermarriage bill, the Louisville (Ky.) News of May 30 carries the following editorial, telling why our people oppose such laws: Editor Wm. Warley you have preached a concise and splendid "sermon" that is a credit to the Louisville (Ky.) News. RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now, just as it holds to either more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1925 PRIME SPORT NEWS Wills, Tunney and Dempsey. New York City.—The predominant opinion in local fight circles is that Harry Wills is going to shoot with everything he has in his hout with Weinert in order to again prove his right to a meeting with Dempsey and will be the opinion of city blocks. Some think this process of elimination, if it works out according to calculation, will inevitably bring Tunney and Wills together, the winner to have a crack at Dempsey. A Wills Tunney fight on Labor day is one of the things talked about. Billy Gibson, who manages Tunney, said, Monday, he plans to "make Jack Dempsey decide whether he is a fighter or an actor." "Fight Wills?" said Gibson. "Sure we will fight Wills. That is exactly what we plan to do providing Dempsey stays in his and providing, too, that curry is able to dispose of Weinert on June 19." Tunney and Gibbons, whom he recently defeated, are light-heavyweights. Neither is any match for the superior heavy-weight, Harry Wills, and everybody knows it. Dempsey had a hard time defeating Gibbons. Tunney, a youngster still in his early "twenties," whipped Gibbons in a fight. It would be a pugilistic crime to put the young man (Tunney) in the ring with Wills, and the pugilistically wise hereabouts know this, too. Yet they would sacrifice him in their long-continued effort to keep Dempsey out of the ring with Wills because they know what would happen. And that is just what they do not want—"another Negro champion heavyweight pugilist of the world." Wills will "take care of" Weinert, as he has all the others, and as he Jack Dempsey before long, now. He will be the end of his string—"ducking." The public is not going to stand it much longer. He must fight Wills or be publicly branded a coward. Blues Outslug Tellings. Lorain, O.—Scoring in every inning but one, the fast Cleveland Blues, semi-pro baseball team, buried the Lorain Tellings under an avalanche of hits to win easily, 17 to 7, in their game here, Sunday afternoon. Dixon, the winning twirler, helped to salt away the game by slamming two doubles and a triple in five times at bat. Newman was the big star for the Tellings with five triples. Others of the Blues to make extra base-hits were: Two base-hits—Clark, Reed and Boyd 2, Clark also made a home-run. Vince of the Tellings made a triple. . Giant Prehistoric Oysters. Washington.—Capt. Joe Miller, master and owner of the bugee Kathleen, in port from the lower river has on exhibition several oysters that date back many hundred years, which were taken from a marl bank on the Virginia side of the Potomac, about a quarter of a mile above Smith's wharf. These oysters are much lighter than anything now found in the Potomac. One shell, with the oyster in it, solid as stone, measures 8 inches from hinge to mouth. It would take only a couple of them to make a pot of soup for a large family. It is stated that these prehistoric oysters are found at several points along the river, but seem to be more plentiful in the marl beds in the vicinity of Smith's Wharf than elsewhere. In the section of King George county, Va., in the vicinity of Smith's Wells, quantities of these big oyster shells, half-burned, have been found 40 and 50 feet below the present level. The residents of the neighborhood have a theory that these shells are from roast oysters eaten by the inhabitants of this section ages ago. Given "Barrel of Days." Bloomington, Ill.—A Monroe county jury dealt out poetic justice to "Tuck" Pendegraft, tried here on a "blind tiger" charge on a change of venus from Lawrence county, and gave him a "barrel of days" at the State Penal farm at Putnamville and a fine of $50. "A barrel of days," according to the verdict returned by the jury, is the same number of days that a barrel of beer contains bottles—144. Pendegraft was charged with running a "blind tiger" at the "half-way" house between Bedford and Mitchell.

Hawthorne of this city swallowed over two years ago, was recently removed from his left lung. Again able to walk rapidly, to run, to breathe deeply, to sleep in different positions and to laugh Mr. Hawthorne is having difficulty in obeying a doctor's order to "act like a man ninety years old for two months." During the two years which have elapsed since he swallowed the staple while fastening a wire support for vines growing over the porch of my home, Mr. Hawthorne has appealed to twenty doctors for relief from coughing spells which at times threatened his life. For a time prior to the operation which has restored his health, Mr. Hawthorne lost a pound or more in weight each day. His condition was serious when the cause of the illness was correctly diagnosed and an X-ray photograph revealed the location of the staple, which most of the doctors consulted had believed could not be in the lungs. Before swallowing the staple Mr. Hawthorne had never been sick, except for an attack of typhoid when he was 14 years old. At the time of the diagnosis which led to the operation for the removal of the staple Mr. Hawthorne's weight had fallen from 200 pounds to 176 pounds in about a month. When the X-ray examination was made, the staple was found in the hius of the left lung, with an abcess formation and infected area in the hius of the right lung. Mr. Hawthorne, seen at his home in Lincoln, said: "I am feeling well now practically for the first time in two years. I remember clearly the day I swallowed the staple. I was standing on the porch railing, reaching up to fasten the wire support for the vines. I was pounding one staple into a board and, as I reached up, swallowed the other, which I was holding in my mouth. "I phoned to a doctor immediately and asked him if there were any possibility that the staple had gone into the windpipe. He said that if it had I would have choked to death before he could reach me. I felt no pain after the first few moments, as I supposed the staple had gone into the stomach and through the gastro-intestinal tract. However, my trouble soon began. "I was partially conscious during the hour and twenty-four minutes which the operation required, only a local anaesthetic being employed. The staple was so lodged that it was necessary to work it into the right main bronchus from the left, in order to permit rotation and withdrawal, round end first. "The operation was performed with a tube containing a tiny electric light bulb and an instrument for grasping the staple. The tube and instrument were inserted through the mouth and pushed down into the lung. The staple was removed without injuring the tissues." MURINE FOR YOUR EYES Murine Co., Dpt. H.S., 9E.

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 now well-educated. We know 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 it. It will only retard its growth. The history of South American countries and southern Europe is this: this is not a 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. Thought Debt Cancelled. Philadelphia, Pa.—A village clergyman, walking around his parish met an old parishioner, "Well, John," he said, "how is it I have not seen you at church for several Sundays?" "Bain't got no Sunday trousers," answered John, "Well," said the clergyman, "I think we can remedy that. I have a pair at home which will just about fit you, and I will have them sent to you today." "Thank'ee!" said John. The trousers were duly sent, and the following three Sundays John was seen at church. Then, after being absent for some time, the clergyman again met him. "Well, John," he said, "you have no excuse for not coming to church later. How is it I have not seen you there?" "Look here, parson!" said John. "I like a man to speak plain. I know what you mean; you're a thinking about them trousers. I come to church three Sundays, an', if you don't think I earned them trousers, just tell me how many more Sundays I shall ha' to come after they're mine altogether!" Wanted Shine, Shoes Stolen. Philadelphia, Pa.—Thomas Loughlin, Leibhich avenue near Memphis street, fell asleep in a boothback's chair at Frankford avenue and Huntington street while waiting for a shine. He awoke a few minutes later in his stocking feet and saw a man hurrying down Frankford avenue with a pair of shoes under his arm. He ran after the man in his stocking feet until he saw Policeman Wiedcnberg of the Trenton and Dauphin streets station, who arrested the man. The prisoner gave his name as Richard Matlack of Coral street, above Susquehanna avenue. The average man is proud of his ability as a letter writer—until a few of them show up in a breach of promise suit.

How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the censorship of white workers to 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 the DACA program 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 their papers, is not required to our Negro President. Only lass took a colored girl appeared after having 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 President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina to the home of the segregation leader and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice, a question is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caffees for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons 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 clerks, in writing, 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 neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, 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 harassment 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. I hurried a protest to the postmaster, who lay before me 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 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 with him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won quicker and accuracy in the 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.) 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. The workers out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation passes over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a spindle record in his ears and a lack of 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 take the police 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 failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons in the building immediately dismissed. By this severe unintended our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have 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 examination completed of exist, and a request for the more my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, J. SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 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 will settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The tazette) (Special to The Gazette) 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 heroe 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. Wilhelm to the White House, a member of the 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 ultimate terms at the White House appear 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 discourged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Osseo was to attack White House and Cabin and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau ait together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public. They are GATED in 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 nomes, most of them with high age, normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre men. The best of them are the these superior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Special to Washington D. C.—The treasury department according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West 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 that 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 demand for the government, several thousand clerks. Net Negroes are so scarse 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 toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence the segregated clerks are the physical inconvenience at times, and the 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 foothold she creates the财产 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 to act. Our clerks must accept segregation, 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 department. The board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the department was speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Officer in a Registrar 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. Bureau 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 files room. Internal Revenue War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of discrimination and are winning over 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 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. THE VIEWPOINT OF RACE HATE! CONTEMPTIBLE AND INDEFENSIBLE AND SHOULD NOT BE HELD BY ANYONE. 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 indefeat 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. B. H. Gill (The Ohio, 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. 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 from you? In the 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, and then den him with jealousy. 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 any one. A white man does not insist upon associating with another person, unless he 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 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 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. I believe that it is equally 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. CLEAN THE OILING SYSTEM BY ERWIN GREER (President Greer College of Automotive Engineering) The average car owner is prone to do nothing, unless he finds a suggestion in a magazine or in that same book of instructions. He fills the base of his engine with lubricant when oil is necessary, as indicated by the gauge, and he is careful to see that the oil flows through the gauge, and he is careful to see that the pressure remains at a certain figure while the engine is running, not always advise the owner further regarding the oiling system. You may have liquid in the base of your engine, but is it a lubricant? Many times this liquid is a combination of cylinder oil and water. Its lubricating properties are poor, and should the bearings burn through lack of lubricant the owner is very apt to blame the oil for the trouble. He immediately buys oil of another grade or oil that is made by another manufacturer, without, however, knowing the reason for his trouble. Depending upon the type of engine, oil in the base should be changed regularly. Old lubricating oil should be drawn out from the base and thrown away and new put in, for at least every thousand miles to improve. If some oil it is advisable to renew the oil much oftener. Make a point of cleaning it with light oil every time the lubricating oil is renewed. Put in about one quart of light oil and turn the engine over by hand, with the pet-cocks open, a dozen turns or so. The light oil will loosen the arist, and could have a tendency to drive out the dirt. It is not advisable to run the engine while the light oil is in the base. It may do no harm. On the other hand, there is a possibility that it will damage the engine. After the engine has been cleaned in this way, draw off the light oil, and while the drain cocks are still on, turn the engine over or three times in order to drive the light oil from the system. Clean the pump straighter, if there is one, and then put in a good grade of oil. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and just, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Tell It, Brother, Tell It! There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong. The sooner we face these facts, the quicker we will begin to work for our own salvation, the sooner we will attain our rightful place as American citizens. — Philadelphia Tribune.
