The Congressman Is Simply Amazed at the Southern General's Shamless Exhibition of Prejudice and Ignorance—Gen. Pershing, Col. Moss and Sirgt. Butler. --- New York City.—Congressman Hamilton Fish, of this city, who commanded Afro-American soldiers in France during the World War, has written a vigorous letter defending them from the imputation of cowardice and upfitness cast by General Robert Lee Bullard in his article in the N. Y. Herald-Tribune, recently, noted at length in our last issue. Mr. Fish's letter, published in the Herald-Tribune, June 12th. '25 is as follows: ored French troops, ever had any such idea. General Mangin who had as much experience with colored soldiers as any General in the World War, was most outspoken in his praise and maintained that if properly trained and led, they were equal to the best troops in any army in the world for bravery and fighting qualities. Those white officers who have served with colored troops know that if Negro soldiers are given a fair chance, carefully trained and led by experienced officers, that they make first-class fighting men. If General Bullard desires to question the efficiency and advisability of using colored officers, let him say so but not indict the Negro soldier of cowardice, which is a gross column against fearless soldiers who were ready and willing to lay down their lives for their country, and who if well led will go as far as any General or any white officer will lead them. General Bullard further says 'the politics of our country had prepared the formation of this Negro Division contrary to experience. Confidence to experience and whose experience? Since when did the United States ever have Divisions the United States ever have Divisions 27,000 men before, white or black? No wonder the 92nd Division never had a chance if that was the attitude of ranking generals in our army. Fortunately we have much better regular army authority than General Bullard, on the conduct of American Negro troops in war. "Col. James M. Moss, a graduate of West Point who served 18 years with colored troops and commanded the 372nd Infantry in France, says: 'If properly trained and instructed the colored man makes as good a soldier as the world has ever seen. The history of the Negro in all of our wars, including our Indian Campaigns shows this. He is by nature of a highly disposition, he is responsive and tractable, he is very amenable to discipline, he has faith and confidence in his leaders, he possesses physical courage, all of which are valuable military assets'. "General Pershing says: 'I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work.' "According to General Bullard's own statement to the 22nd Division was under his command only a few weeks, yet he undertakes to condemn all Negro soldiers of cowardice and inefficiency because of the mishandling of the Division under his command. The fact is that they were only called on to attack on November 10th and 11th along with the other units of the 2nd Army and accomplished about as much as any other Division in that attack, one of the colored battalions being decorated for coming to the aid of some white troops which had gotten into a tight place. If the attack of the 2nd Army failed, the blame should be placed elsewhere than in this Division. When the First Army succeeded in its attack in September, 1918, they might have been some reason to reproach the colored recruits, but in the November offensive-before Metz the blame rests largely on poor leadership as there was plenty of time to reorganize the entire outfit if it were deemed necessary. "In my judgment this unwarranted attack on Negro soldiers and charging them with cowardice is either a deliberate conspiracy to malign and discredit American Negro soldiers and the Negro race or it was written without knowledge and conclusion hastily or eagerly jumped at from prejudice without a careful investigation of all the facts regarding the training, experience and conduct in battle of all the colored American soldiers in the American Expeditionary forces. If any one questions the bravery of the American colored soldier let me relate the story of Sgt. Butler of Co. L., 369th Infantry, who pursued a German raiding party into no man's land after they had captured a white American officer and four or five Negro soldiers and who alone and unaided except by the small machine gun he carried, freed the white officer and the colored soldiers, and killed a half dozen of the German raiding party, and seriously wounded the German officer who later died in our trenches. That is the true account of one trained and experienced colored non-commissioned officer acting on his own initiative and what one can do all could have done, if given the opportunity and properly trained and led. Let no man question the bravery of the colored soldiers for he either does not WILBERFORCE COMMENCEMENT. Dr. Thompson of "Ohio State" The Speaker—Degrees Conferred— Large Attendance—C. N. & L. Dept.

To Great The Spring" by Wilson was beautifully rendered by a chorus opening the exercises. Following the invocation, "Listen to The Lambs" was also sung by request. The University quarter, Momer Smith, J. Ballon, R. Reed and H. Williams, sang a medley (special request). Dr Wm. Okey Thompson, president of Ohio State University, the speaker, selected as his subject, "Looking Ourselves in The Face" and made an exceptionally fine address. He also congratulated the students on completing their college education and praised the race for its advance in education and along all lines. Five honorary degrees were conferred by the University at this, the same day, as the ment. L. D. Dwenson to Dr Thompson, Bishops Wm. H. Head of Philadelphia and Joshua H. Jones of Wilfordforce and to Rev B. F. McWilliams of, Toledo; M. A., to Miss Ida M. Miller of Indianapolis. The conferring of these followed that of the student degrees and the presentation of diplomas and certificates. Then came the awarding of prizes won in oratorical and essay contests. The attendance was large. Between four and five thousand autos crowded the campus and were very spectacular. The meeting, of the board of trustees of the Combined Normal and Industrial (State) Department of the University, June 18, was the first in a long time at which a full membership was present. There is for the first time a lady member of the board in the person of Miss Helen C. Walker of Cincinnati who is engaged in educational work at her home city and is sure to contribute valuable assistance. The board has started efforts to make improvements which if successful will contribute in no small degree to the physical and financial progress of its department of the University's work. The meeting of the University board of trustees was a hot one. One result, that has already harmed the institution in several ways, was the defeat for production as transporter of lay for David of Kentucky. With Bishop Heard he was among its few greatest and very best friends. This is to be developed and deeply regretted by all friends of Willberroe University. More anon. CANCER CAN BE PREVENTED!

I do not know General Bullard and have no personal controversy with him but simply out of justice to those seven hundred colored soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice, the five thousand who were wounded and the four hundred thousand who were armed by the armed forces of the United States, I wish to take this opportunity to protest, deny and repudiate the charge of cowardice against the American Negro soldier.

Senator Capper and Congressman Madden—His Fine Letter to the Prejudiced Southerner President Coolidge Appointed Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds at the Nation's Capital. Washington, D. C.—The District Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. held its monthly meeting at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. Wednesday night. Its president: Neval H. Thomas, presided and called for reports of committees. He gave a survey of the activities of the president in the various departments of the government and of the city. He told of his visit to the stationmaster at the Union Station where it was reported that our "red caps" were to lose their positions because one of them had extracted an order discriminating against our people from the order book and sent it to a magazine. The stationmaster assured Mr. Thomas that no such change was contemplated, and that the discriminating order had been revoked. Mr. Thomas also reported the dismissal of a clerk in the city postoffice who was restored to duty after he had visited the postmaster and called his attention to prejudice against the clerk manifested by his white chieftain. He also protested to Robert N. Harper, president of the Washington Auditorium Corporation, against the discrimination there which causes our artists to refuse to perform before the women of the world, exposing "the shame of America", and said that Mr. Harper, who was recently banqueted by leading white citizens of the capital (in spite of his former conviction and fine for violations of Roosevelt's pure-food act), did not show him the courtesy of replying. President Thomas' report showed that in the office of the third assistant postmaster general our clerks are refused promotion, and inferior white clerks are passed over them. He reported the discrimination to the postmaster general who invited him down to discuss the cases with his third assistant. While not getting a definite promise, Mr. Thomas is expecting some promotions, July 1. He also reported the case of one Evelyn Hunt, of the Washington Herald, who wrote a very insulting article concerning our people. He wrote the editor and called on him in person, receiving assurance that no other article injurious to our people would appear in that paper again. Mr. Thomas took up the murder of an innocent boy of the race by a white policeman with the district attorney who promised to indict the officer who had committed a similar killing but two months before, if sufficient evidence could be found to influence the grand jury. Since then the grand jury refused to indict; showing the corrupt state of the public mind here in the capital. Mr. Thomas also reported the new order of the American Automobile Association which excludes our people from membership. They were sought when the association was small, but are now told of the new order. Mr. Thomas visited the headquarters only to be told that the new order was final, and was issued on the complaint of southern members. He reported the widespread campaign for opening the white bathing beach which congress had ordered dismantled because our people had won their right to a beach on the same. Tidal Basin as the whites. Col. Sherrell had dismantled our beach and had white and newspaper reopen the white. Mr. Thomas wired Senators Capper and Warren and Congressman Madden, and has succeeded in holding up that injustice, through them. Secretary A. S. Pinkett made his report of the spring drive membership of which he was the head. Up to date more than 2,300 members and more than $2,700 have been received. Mr. Pinkett announced the drive is not over, and that he was sure that at least 3,000 members would constitute the association before the final returns come in. The Branch elected President Thomas as delegate to the annual meeting of the organization being held in Denver, this week.

Houston, to block a vote on the nomination continued for several hours without avail. At an early hour in the morning, after an almost all-night session, the nomination of Dr. Miller was put and carried by a heavy majority. It was understood that a program in opposition to the Durkee administration at Howard university will be 'put in operation at once.' Thomas Wires Capper and Madden (Telegram) Washington, D. C., June 14, 25. Senator Arthur, Capper, Capper Building, Topeka, Kansas: The colored people are unalterably opposed to the proposed reopening of the white bathing beach here on the Tidal Basin which congress ordered dismantled. They are likewise opposed to the unjust proposal to create a beach for colored people at Jones Point, an unsantitary, and otherwise undesirable place far from the Tidal Basin. A commission of experts has said that no place along the Potomac is free from pollution. We earnestly solicit your aid. Neval H. Thomas, President, Washington, N.A.A. P. Branch. This telegram was alsb sent to Congressman Madden and Senator Warren. It did the work! Neval. Politely "Skins" A Coolidge Appointee. Col. Clarence Sherrill, Supt. Public Buildings and Grounds, Washington, D. C. My dear Col. Sherrill:—As the colored people expected all through the long controversy over the location of the colored bathing beach (since a segregated beach was forced upon us) on the Tidal Basin, you have found a novel way of defeating the plain word and unmistakable intent of Congress-ordering both beaches dismantled. In your genius and ceaseless industry for classifying people according to their skin you have hit upon the vigorous proponaga for opening the white beach again which ought to have been demolished long ago as you demolished the colored one, and of sending the colored people to the germ-laden, inaccessible Buzzard's Point, far removed from the Tidal Basin. Your entire career here has been one of studied insult to the colored people. The disgraceful scene at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, where coarse marines forced some of the best citizenry of this nation, into segregated seats at the point of the bayonet, because they happened to be colored, was a desecration of the sacred name of the great character we love, and an inefaceable stain upon the conduct of your office. Your insulting places in Rock Creek Park on Easter morn to deprive the colored people of a natural and legal right will never be forgotten. Your efforts to block the recreational opportunities of one third of this population by grudgingly yielding them less than one tenth of the privileges on government reservations that are given to white people clearly places you in the ranks of our enemies, though your high office belongs to all of the people and is paid for by all of them. May we still hope for a change from your medieval policy? Neval H. Thomas. SCAT, YOU BEAST! WHAT D'YOU MEAN! WHY, SIS!--YOU'RE BAWLING! WHAT'S OUT OF JOINT?

SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1925. The Rev. Andrew Johnson, of Atlantic City, N. J., is reported to have invited and received robed members of the K. K. K. at services in his church, recently. Secretary J. W. Johnson, of the N. A. A. C. P., says he "is a disgrace to the Colored ministry" and we agree with him. The Rev. Johnson's head (and pocket-book) ought to be examined. --- The first public square in New York City to be named in honor of an Afro-American soldier who gave his life in the World War, was dedicated, last week, at 135th St. and Edgecombe Ave., to the memory of Dorrence Brooks, a high private of the Fifteenth Infantry. Mayor Hylan, principal speaker, praised our soldiers and denounced Gen. Bullard their only defamer. Good! --- "Running true to form", the Coolidge administration permits most insulting discrimination at Citizens' Military Training Camps throuout the country. It is southern prejudice's most powerful and apparently its most consistently active ally. And a Republican administration, too, if you please. As far as our people are concerned, the Wilson southern Democratic administration was no worse. Congressman Hamilton Fish certainly does an excellent job in his reply to the vicious and contemptible attack of Gen. Bullard on our overseas soldiers in France during the World War, in particular, and all of our soldiers, in general. There seems to be nothing too mean and too low for the average "Negro-hating" southerner to say against our people, soldiers or civilians. They are absolutely devoid of any sense of shame when an opportunity presents itself (or they can make one) to attack our people. However, we still have a few white friends who come voluntarily to our assistance on such occasions. More power to them! The Ohio supreme court, last week, refused Municipal Judge Alva R. Corlett a recount of the ballots cast in certain wards in the common pleas judge election, last fall, in which Judge Alvin J. Pearson is alleged to have beat Corlett by 550 votes. The court refused to review the case, declaring no grounds were shown for charges of fraud made by Corlett's attorneys. They attempted to show that hardly any of the voters in certain precincts of the twelfth ward voted the judicial ticket, yet Pearson swept the ward in the official count. The Judge is not thrul, but will start other action in the courts. Wards 11, 12, 8 and 17 elections are "rotten to the core" and there are many who know this. They ought to help Judge Corlett clean out the "rottenness". Judge Alva Corlett returned to the traffic bench in Municipal Court, recently. Thirty minutes later, Arthur Wyatt, age 35, of $106 Prospect Ave., had been sentenced to six months in the workhouse and fined $100 on a charge of striking a woman while driving when intoxicated. Wyatt told Judge Corlett that he was not driving when the machine struck the woman, Mrs. Lillian Goldman, 1104 Kinsman Rd., who received a broken nose. He said he knew he was intoxicated and had hired a Negro to drive for him. "That's a preposterous lie," Judge Corlett said. "Not only do you commit one of the most serious of offenses, but you come into court to lie about it. I hope to see the day when intoxicated drivers who hit pedestrians, or anyone, will be sent to the penitentiary. I have an 8-year-old son, and I think that if he did what you have done, and then lied about it, I'd take him out to the barn and shoot him." "Bah! for Judge Corlett!

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 engendering. He segregated the contamakers in 1910, restricting 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 not a Democrat. It was begun by Republican, and to its all-embracing extent by Republican There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored lady appeared after 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 and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina, the home of the other secretary 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 in 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 believen 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 father of colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing lunches and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantages 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 all the men they suspect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglects of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, 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. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general, general day before the day before the colored, and 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 services must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the drafting of letters. The colored clerks have devised for 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 building, and all the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation passes over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exile of our employees as keenly as the seated man of our 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 a night-employee, hence, carried the police. He was dawned by 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. The police immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have 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 of information computed of exist, and a request to the name of 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, D.SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 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 hear witness to it. (Special to The tazette) Washington, D. C. —Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroes young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of the council and 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 women to be 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 loc a 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 dis o u r g e d, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight. Our democracy was at the crises. Oswald was a famous amateur 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 that they are not working, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age, normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take the inferior jobs, and they are not segregated. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of his career, the most important 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 securitization 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. Yet Netanyahu and the government 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 toiletts, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. The segregated clerks are forced to see the physical inconvenience at times, and the travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent safeteria, 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 festive scene that their presence with us creates in rooms 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 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, have hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executive departments and 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 located section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. The office of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against. The Jews are still suffering, after 900 years of unnatural 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 color rights; they are by nature without prejudice. We have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist prescriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist dental of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Henry W. Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted as a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 129.40. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public convenience by land or water, theater or other public accommodation and amusement does a citizen except for reasons applicable to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both the next preceding season, however violates the not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law.
