Cleveland, Ohio ESTABLISHED, AUGUST 25, 1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since Rights of No Race Will Be Safe If Supreme Court Veto Continues to Be Flouted, Thomas Tells Denver Convention. Doings of the Race (Special to The Gazette.) Denver, Colo.—Determined to outlaw the U. S. supreme court, advocates of segregation are combining to deny the black man, and ultimately the white man, the right of contract and residence. That was the charge against the proponents of separation of the races in residential districts, hurried, last week Thursday, by Neval H. Thomas of Dunbar High school, Washington, D. C., at the first business meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. Prof. Thomas is president of the Washington branch, and a member of the board of directors of the association. "Segregation wars on the letter and spirit of the U. S. constitution and the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments," declared Mr. Thomas. "A distinguished American educator has well said that it is a spurious patroltism which revives the constitution only in spots. The lawless spirit which the violation of the three amendments has engendered has made it impossible to enforce the eighteenth amendment. Property Rights Are Imperiled. "Segregation, born of prejudice and hatred, has made such inroads on our social system that it menaces the Afro-American's contractual and property rights. Moorfield Storey, president of the N. A. A. C. P., and Our National Business League will meet in Tulsa, Okla., Aug. 19, 20 and 21. Its 26th annual session. Announcement of a gift of $25,000 to Kittrell, N. C. college, has just been made by Wm. G. Pearson, of Durham, N. C. Down in Richmond, Va., our people cannot borrow books from the public library, and are segregated at the state library. The Philadelphia Inquirer of June 21 announced as one of its prize letter winners, Walter A. Ellis, a race newspaper man. The average value per acre of farm land in Barrow County, Ga., less than fifty miles from Atlanta, has decreased $75 during five years. Benj. Tanner Johnson of Boston, the new Urban League executive secretary at Canton, is a graduate of Howard and Harvard Universities. Atty. Thomas L. Jones, of Washington, D. C., has been appointed an assistant district attorney and sworn in office by U. S. Attorney General Sargent. Tommy Ladneir, playing a stellar musical role at the Admiral Palast (theater) in Berlin, Germany, is acclaimed a cornetist with few peers by German critics. The entire Afro-American police force of Washington, D. C., under the command of a Jewish sergeant, will head the K, K. K. procession to be field there. If it is! The highest degree awardable at the N. Y. University Law School, Doctor of Judicial Science, has been bestowed upon George E. Hall, a member of the race. Harrison Herbert Ferrell, Jr., of Chicago, a cripple, received from Northwestern University on commencement day, June 15, a degree of Master of Arts. Prof. Peter H. Clark, age 97, associate of Frederick Douglass, and pioneer educator, who died in Chicago, last week, was for many years a resident of Cincinnati and later of St. Louis. Mrs. Fannie Brown of Atlanta has filed suit in the Fulton superior court for $50,000 damages against the Southern railroad and Engineer J. E. Mooney for the death of her husband, Oscar. As the result of a recent civil service examination, Jacob Roy Scott has been granted a certificate for the position of Inspector of Carpentry and Masonry for the building department of this city. The one lonely disgrace of the Paris, France, Modern Arts exposition has been abolished. It was a British attraction: "The African Dodger", but it is believed that they got their idea from some place below the Mason-Dixon line in this city. Mrs. Sadie D. Harrison, of E. Orange, N. J., was elected county committeewoman of Essex county at the recent Republican primaries, overwhelmingly defeating the Jewish once secretary to Senator Charles Sumner, now one of the greatest lawyers in America, obtained a unanimous opinion from the U. S. supreme court in the famous Louisville case of 1917, denying the right of any city or state to restrict my people to any street or residential district. Since then the segregation spirit, determined to outlaw our supreme tribunal, has invented agreements among private individuals to combine and deny the Afro-American, and ultimately deny groups of white men, the right of contract and residence. The N. A. A. C. P. now has this case before the U. S. supreme court, and on its outcome depends much of the Afro-American's future in America. We oppose segregation not only in the interest of black men but in the interest of white as well. For with one man beyond the protection of the law, all men will ultimately fail of its protection," said Prof. Thomas. His address "took the house by storm." Herbert J. Seligman, the Association's director of publicity and author of "The Negro Faces America," followed in an exceptionally strong talk calling attention to the great improvement in newspaper treatment of race relations in the last fifteen years. For this he is entitled to no small mead of praise. Other speakers were Charles Edward Russell and Congressman L. C. Dyer of St. Louis. woman who was her opponent. Mrs. Harrison is a granddaughter of the late Bishop Tanner. Mrs. Sally Jackson, a scamstress of W. 137th St., has filed suit in the Bronx Supreme Court for $25,000 damages against the Penn. Ry. Co. for the loss of the sight of an eye, as the result of being injured when a glass broke on one of the company's cars. Last week Tuesday, Harlem hospital, N. Y. City, opened its doors to our physicians and internes. Eight doctors and 10 internes in special departments, as well as visiting physicians and dentists, were awarded our people. More than 60 per cent of the patients of the hospital are Afro-Americans. In a letter addressed to President Coolidge, the New England Baptist Missionary convention, which met in Washington, D. C., recently, with delegates from Maine to Virginia, declared it desired to call his attention to an increasing restlessness among Afro-American citizens throut their territory, and throut the entire country. As one condition complained 6f. the letter cited the alleged "practice of segregation in many departments of the federal government". THE AMERICAN PRESS Asked to Capitalize the Word, "Negro" and To Eliminate Other Objectionable Features of Its News-Service. New York City.—A determined effort to induce the American press to abolish the use of objectionable terms such as "negress", "plecaniny", "darkey", and "nigger", is being made by Miss Dellah L. Beasley, feature writer for the Oakland (Cal.) Daily Tribune. She also requests the capitalizing of the word "Negro" in the daily and Sunday newspapers, together with the weekly and monthly magazines. Recently Miss Beasley spoke to representatives of the Associated and the International Press about the insult to Afro-American readers of their newspatches that are written in a style that reflects upon the integrity and pride of the race in general. Miss Beasley, a former Ohio-ian, is a fearless champion of the cause of her race in its struggles to win proper treatment and fair dealing at the hands of white fellow citizens. She was recently a delegate to the convention of the National League of Women Voters which was held in Richmond, Va., and represented the California Women's League, being the only Afro-American woman delegate present. She later was assigned as press representative for her paper to cover the International Convention of Women which was held at Washington, D. C.

We are beginning to wonder what disposition of the Spingarn medal will be made when all officers of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will have received it. Out of the ten medals already awarded, three have gone to individuals directly connected with the Association and the eleventh medal has just been awarded JOHN H. HARRIS James Weldon Johnson to James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the organization, leaving only Wm. Pickens, Walter White, Robert W. Bagnall and Jessie Fausett to be awarded it. A good plan would probably be to award all remaining officers and interested individuals the Spingarn medal, this year, and, beginning next year, seek out someone not connected with the N. A. A. C. P. group. We have no criticism to make of the awarding of the medal to Prof. E. J. Eust, Col. Charles Young, Harry T. Burleigh, Wm. Stanley Braithwaite, Charles S. Gilpin, George W. Carver or Roland Hayes. We even commend the committee of award for presenting the eighth medal to the late Mrs. Mary B. Talbert-for her distinguished services in restoring the home of Frederick Douglass, but we think it decidedly immidest to have presented the medal on such slight pretext to Archibald H. Grimke, Wm. E. Burghardt Du Bois and now to James Weldon Johnson, who are directly and indirectly connected with the N. A. A. C. P. and the committee of award. Dr. Du Bois has rendered distinguished service to the race, but we must insist that his being awarded the Spingarn medal for the "founding and calling together of the Fan-African Congress" is a joke and an insult to him. We speak frankly of this because we dislike seeing the Association turned into a mutual admiration society, where the awarding of the Spingarn-medal is concerned, unless, of course, it is strictly to be awarded within the N. A. A. C. P. group. And since this was not the spoken intention of the donor, we resent its being awarded to officers to whom its awarding is directly or indirectly intrusted, no matter how great their achievement. — N. Y. Amsterdam News. To our minds, with the exception of Messrs. Just, Burleigh, Gilpin and Carver, the awards have been more or less a farce. Just where so much distinct achievement could be attributed to the other winners, whose activities are in a large measure already forgotten, is a mystery that we cannot fathom. We find no signal achievement or lasting impressions, or reaf consecrated service in the works of any of the others beyond that which is done by many Americans today.—Atlanta (Ga.) Independent. THANKS "THE OLD RELIABLE"! Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor-Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio Dear Harry:—Let me thank you for giving such splendid display to my article, answering General Bullard's ontrageous attack upon four soldiers who served in France. I am greatly indebted to you for all that you did to help me out. Sincerely, Emmett J. Scott. P. S.—He has had more coming to him (Bullard) than he expected! The Italians are suing him. E. J. S. Mr. Geo. W. McKoln of St. Louis, father of Mrs. Charles Smith, wife of the secretary of the local police department and secretary of our chief of police, died, last week. Funeral, Sunday afternoon.

The Southern Democratic American High Command Was Shameless in Its Damnable and Dastardly Efforts to Discredit Afro-American Troops The French Repudiated the Contemptible American Order. In the first installment of the answer of the 92d Division Officers, to the infamous and "vicious attack of Gen. Robert Lee Bollard upon "the fitness, integrity, courage and morale of the Afro-American troops in the late World War", the following appears after a lengthy account of the attempts of prejudiced white American officers, high in the command of our Expeditionary Forces, to prevent the organization of the Division, then to make it fail and, later on, to destroy its morale: Upon our arrival in France the colored officers soon learned of and obtained copies of an order from the staff of the United States to the High Allied Commission which informed them—the French and English—to the effect that they must not treat the colored officers and soldiers as social equals; that they were not so treated in America; that they must not praise them overmuch for deeds of valor, especially the officers. This isorne out by the order which Boisneuf, member of the French Chambre des Deputies, made the subject of an interpellation in that body, and which the French unanimously declared was against their three great cardinal principles of government, viz., Liberte, Egalite, and Fraternite, and to our knowledge they ordered and collected the French copies of these infamous orders and burned them shortly after they were sent out. This order, while known to practically every officer and enlisted man in the 92nd Division, although our white officers supposed us to be in ignorance of it, had a peculiar and opposite effect to that desired, for it increased the courtesy and friendliness of the French toward us who could not understand the color madness of our brothers in arms as we will show later in this article. This order was inspired by the High American Command, whether by Bliss or Pershing is not known. It was transmitted by Colonel Linard, Chief of the French Military Division attached to the American Army, as a confidential circular, dated August 7, 1918. The English translation (taken from the Chicago Daily News, August 30, 1919): The Vicious Order 1. "It is necessary for French Officers, called upon to exercise a command among Black American Troops, or to live in contact with them, to have an exact notion of the situation of the Negroes in the United States. The considerations disclosed in the following note are of such interest that they should be known and widely diffused. It is a duty of the French Military to communicate information on this subject by the medium of civil authorities to the French population near cantonments where American Colored Troops are stationed. 2. "The American point of view on the 'Negro Question' may appear detestable to the wholesomeness of the French spirit, but we Americans cannot discuss what certain 'persons call a prejudice. American opinion is unanimous on the 'Black Question' and it does not admit of discussion. The large number of Negroes in the United States, around 15 million—creates a danger of degeneration for the white race of the republic if an inexorable separation is not made between 'Blacks and Whites.' As the danger does not exist for the French race, the French republic is accustomed to treat the black 'familiar' and to be very indulgent toward him. "Their Nation's Dogma." 3. "This indulgence and this familiarity profoundly wounds the Americans. They consider this an injury to their nation's dogma. They fear that the contact of the French will inspire the Black Americans' pretensions, which they consider intolerable. It is indispensable that every effort be made to avoid deeply injuring American opinion. Although a citizen of the United States, the colored man is considered by the white American an inferior being with whom one may have merely business or domestic relation. He is reproached with a certain unintelligence, indiscretion, lack of conscience and familiarity. The vices of the Negro are a constant danger. for the American who has to repress them severely. For instance, the black American troops in France alone have given occasion for more complaints of at- IN-UNION IT IS STRENGTH THE COPY FIVE CENTS USES!

The loss caused by their incorporation has been enormous. "Familiarity to Be Avoided." "Conclusion— 1. "It is necessary to avoid all too great intimacy between French officers and black officers with whom one may be correct and friendly, but whom one may not treat on the same footing as the white American officers without profoundly wounding the latter. "It is not proper to dine at their table and the grasping of hands and conversation and meeting of them outside of services should be avoided. (Exclamation in the Chamber of Deputies.) 2. "It is not proper to praise in an exaggerated manner the black American troops, above-all before the Americans. Recognize qualities in their services, but in moderate terms conforming strictly to reality. 3. "Try to get the population in the cantonments not to spoil the Negroes. The Americans are indignant at all supposed intimacy of white women with the blacks; they have recently raised venection protest against a drawing in the 'Vie Parisienne' entitled 'The Child of the Desert', representing a woman in a private room with a Negro. This familiarity is profoundly regretted in our colonies, where a considerable part of the prestige of the white race has been lost as a result. The Military Authority is not able to intervene directly in this question, but it is able to influence the population through civilian authorities. (Signed) "COLONEL LINARD." Dumbbell, and Dastardly. This most damnable and dastardly treason and vituperation by the American white high command upon the black American officers and men was known to them shortly after its issuance because some of the French staff attached to our regiments supplied us with copies. Be it said to the everlasting credit of the French that they not only rescinded this malicious outrage, calling in and burning the copies issued, but they, in the interpolation in the French Chamber of Deputies of July 25, 1919, unanimously repudiated this policy. I shall let Monsieur Boisneuf speak not only for the French opinion but also for the black American troops and will quote his interpolation in full, calling attention to a statement made in defense of the alleged charges of assault by black Americans on French women—a defense which was endorsed by the House of Congress of France. The President (French Chamber of Deputies); "Messieur Boisneuf has the floor." Messieur Boisneuf: "Gentlemen: It would be bad taste for me, after the declaration of the government, to insist on a detailed discussion on the subject of my interpolation, especially in view of the respect and courtesy, the Chamber has manifested toward the minister. I have to submit to the Chamber a certain number of extremely grave events which took place in France recently in which soldiers, our colored men, were victims."

SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1925. The least that can be said in criticism of the awarding of the Spingarn medal in the past is that it never ought to have been awarded or accepted by an officer of the N. A. A. C. P. "The Italians are suing Gen. Robert Lee Bullard," the defamer of Afro-American soldiers. "He has more coming to him than he expected," writes Dr. Emmett J. Scott to the editor of The Gazette. Well, one thing sure and that is he will not get any more than he deserves, nor as much as he should get. Of that all may rest assured. The way many of our papers load up their first page with big "scare-heads" over accounts of the vilest and fiftiest crimes of all kinds would lead one to suppose that they had not yet heard of the determination of leading newspapers of the country to subordinate if not entirely eliminate all such "sewer" publications. Wake up, confreres! --- The Lord only will ever know all our soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces in France and elsewhere, during the World War had to submit to at the hands of the "cracker" American High Command and its "cracker" officers. But one can get an idea from our 92D Division officers' statement published in part on the first page of this paper. What is given in it is enough to make any fair-minded person's heart bleed. After judgment day, if there is any hell the devil will have "cracker coal" enough to last him for a long, very long time. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Inc., to deliver an address at the tenth anniversary of the Association which is to be held in the nation's capital, Sept. 10. '25, and thoroly appreciates the honor. We hope to be able to arrange to accept it. All of our progressive men and women of intelligence should send Dr. Woodson three dollars and become active members of this outstanding organization. His address is 1538 Ninth St., N. W., Washington, D. C. RUSSELL IS RIGHT! The recent Denver annual meet of the N. A. A. C. P. was attended by 125 delegates from 28 states. Charles Edward Russell, (white), noted author and publicist, made the keynote address to an audience of 1200. Among other things he said: "I want full and absolute 'social equality' for the Afro-American for that is the only way in which the Constitution can be made sacred. And I am willing to accept the consequences of that social equality whatever they may be". And he is RIGHT! This is the doctrine The Gazette has been preaching, in season and out, for forty-two years! Atty. B. A. Banks, a Jewish lawyer, of Norfolk, Va., and former member of the Virginia Legislature, has been threatened in a letter from the Ku Klux Klan of that city, demanding that he retire from the race for commonwealth attorney. The letter says Bank's candidacy "is an insult" and continues: "Do you remember what happened to a certain party in Texas who defied this organization? We will not stand for Catholics, Negroes or Jews holding office in the United States". In a little town down in southern Ohio, near "Mason's and Dixon's line", the local klan, last week, drove out of that vicinity an Afro-American farm-hand, giving as an excuse for its unlawful act the old southern lie that the man had been "intimate THE GEEVUM GIRLS with white women". The real cause of their contemptible action is the klan didn't want the man to work in that vicinity. That is all. It is true the miserable organization is slowly dying through the country, but it is also true that it is dying hard. "CRACKERS" IN HAITI. It is announced that our government has extended its killing grip on Haiti from 1926 to 1936, ten years. This, too, in the wake of its announcement, some months ago, that it was its intention to withdraw its marine control of the little republic in a year. There is no telling what the length of the extension will be in 1936. The prejudiced American control of Haiti has resulted in so very many outrages upon the natives that this country has already won the contempt of many southern European and about all of the South American countries. Write your congressman and U. S. Senators to do all in their power to break this country's strangle hold on that little republic. It is slowly but surely ruining Haiti, and is a disgrace to this country. "MA" FERGUSON AND COOLIDGE Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, governor of Texas, last week pardoned thirty Afro-Americans from that state's penitentiary. Most of the men were friendless and without relatives to intercede for them. Several weeks ago, she ordered out the state militia to protect two Afro-Americans, confined in the Dallas jail, from a mob. One of the mobocrats was killed and a number of others wounded by the soldiers. As governor of our largest state, "Ma" Ferguson makes President Coolidge look smaller than he really is. He has never pardoned even one of our soldier-martys, confined in the Ft. Leavenworth, Kan. federal penitentiary as a result of that infamous Houston riot although our people pleaded with him, time and again, to do so, and he ought to have done so. More power to Gov. Ferguson! BELLBOY'S PLAY IS BOUGHT. New York City. "'Appearances' the play written by Garland Anderson, a San Francisco hotel bellboy, which has attracted much attention among critics and authors, has found a producer. L. W. Sager has bought it and will put it on the stage in the fall. The play is based on Anderson's own experiences—the story of an Afro-American bellboy who becomes a playwright. It was written in three weeks. When Anderson submitted it to Al Jolson, the latter was so impressed that he volunteered to pay Anderson's expenses to come East and look for a producer. Receives $3,000 in Checks. St. Louis, Mo.—Detective Sergt. Ira Cooper received checks amounting to $3,000, last week, the largest reward ever won by a member of the police department of this city. Assisted by two of his men, he solved the case of a man who was robbed of $17,000 worth of jewelry, Nov. 10, '24, at the St. Louis Country club. According to rules of the department, Sergt. Cooper will donate $600 to the Police Relief Fund, and divide the remainder with his two assistants. He has several cases to solve. He has having solved difficult and important cases and has an excellent record in the department. Kluxers Active in Ohio Town Morristown, O—Warned, last week Tuesday, by a robed band of more than 200 kluxers to leave Belmont county by the river. An Afro-American tenant of a farm near here is declared to have fled, early last Friday. Meanwhile Deputy Sheriff John Furbein, in charge during the absence of Sheriff Samuel Dunfee, who is on a vacation in Virginia, says he is holding six warrants for individuals in the robed band. Their voices were recognized by the farmer who employed the Afro-American who came here last fall with his wife and small child. He is said to have been intimate with white women. The old southern charge! The wife and child returned to the south in the spring. Lynchings On The Increase Denver, Colo.—There has been an increase in the number of lynchings, during the first half of 1925 as compared with the same period of last year, James W. Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., announced, last week, at its annual meeting here. There have been ten lynchings, the past six months, he said, while in the first six months of 1924 there were six. Those for 1925, by states, were: Mississippi; 3; Florida; 1; Arkansas; 1; Georgia; 1; Virginia; 1; Louisiana; 1; Kentucky; 1; Utah. 1 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

The Gazette was honored with a very pleasant visit, Tuesday, by Deillah L. Beasley of California, a special writer, and a good one too, for the Oakland Dally Tribune, one of the leading journals on the Pacific coast, and for the Trail Blazers of California", an excellent work that graces the shelves of many libraries of the country. Miss Beasley did her first newspaper work for The Gazette, many years ago, when a resident of this state. She was on route to Springfield and New York, where she "alumnus" of "The Old Reliable" is Miss Beasley, and a credit to this paper. 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 allowed to vote. In the pleas 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 court. The Judge is not thru, the voters are thru, 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." The case against Dr. E. A. Bailey on a charge of abortion, brought some weeks ago, by a woman (white), came to trial in common pleas court, June 24-25. A jury of twelve persons, six male and six female (all white), heard the case which was tried before a white judge. The evidence was so clear that the jury returned time, the second day of the trial, June 25, when it returned with a verdict of not guilty, just as all his many friends in this community expected. So Dr. Bailey came out of the case with "flying colors" and The Gazette congratulates him for escaping from what his attorney termed an effort at blackmail, and which had all the earmarks of the same, apparently. Those who know Dr. Bailey best regarded the prosecution as per the testimony the attorney attested to him of money. Dr. Bailey's standing, personal and professional, in this community and prior to his coming to Cleveland has always been of the very highest.

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. Negro 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 public Pride, Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. ence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments including the postmaster general, in a peaceful dancing. It announced dancing with the officials for "the post office employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. It hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around any colored coworker by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1810, restricting workers' white people, black workers, office workers, illicitizing work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried out by a embracing ex- 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 the papers, is tenaciously blinded on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored civil officer appeared after having passed the best examination, and 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 the head of the segregation forces, Col. Sherill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under difficult intimidation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria 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, 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 other clerks, them off as though they were lepers. The luncheons 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 local office, its segregation and segregation is even suppressed 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 away and headed for the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him one after another, the many unemployed employees have many contests in quickness 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 out, the 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 work, and a master of the exclusive 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 a trumped-up charge. He was arrested on a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and falling to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment the police is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a dental that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of the patients, the informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 4, 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 is well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The jazette) (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 heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girl working together in perfect harmony, was to any thought of race. Shortly after the came an order for segregation of the town and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their place." 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 disc u r a g e d, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight. Or to encourage the work of O. Wald Garrett Willard named down 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 segregates, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau alt toge. 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 talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions in our government segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) WASHINGTON, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from W. W. Hodges, and in the long sweep of history that the mighty President traversed the midnight 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 know what secretion 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 Negroes are so scarce there that they can't be noticed. There is the same number of applicants here among our clerks and other employees, and is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and far more. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience and travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of the bright light and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of 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 wrongdoing, awards, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were 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—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. regated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years universal discrimination and are winning social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are, not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and respectspects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law Section 6278.

It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this action of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person takes from officers of justice by a mob and assists with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault occurred, five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 142 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched. If any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed to the widow, like according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present in the court shall be deemed a member of the mob and he liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10. Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought (President Greer College of Automotiv Engineering, Chicago) been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: BBS. used. g. i representative of victim of lynching. jury by mob trying to lynch another. n and costs in tax levy. s. nst member of mob. nst another county. from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came gence on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negl- imprisoned not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob. (93 v. 163 11.) Second. 6289. This chapter shall not be called a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted as a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 1294. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public convenance by land or water, theater or other public accommodation and amusement, and amusement except for reasons applicable alike 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. Sec. 1294. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay nine hundred dollars or 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 Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an How to Trace T By ERW (President Greer College of A The tractor engine differs from the automobile engine only in that it is of heavier construction, longer stroke and of slower speed which is kept constant by a governor. And because of these differences tractor engines offer other distinct prob lem in operation aside from general ills to which the automobile engine is heir. These ordinary troubles can be cured by anyone with a working knowledge of gas engines. Many tractors are designed to run on kerosene as well as gasoline. Kerosene volatilizes much slower than gasoline, hence heat is the only thing that renders kerosene volatile enough for use, and even then the engine parts must move slower than when using gasoline to gain the full benefit from its use. If you find that your kerosene is condensing and impairing the work of your tractor engine more than should be expected, look at once to heating devices attached to the engine. Oversew to test this is gauge the pulling power of the engine. If the fuel adjustment is shut down as far as is practical to give a good mixture and there is still a decided lack of power the chances are that the kerosene gas is chilling below the safety point. Another way is to use exhaust gas. If the carburetor is adjusted properly and there is black smoke issuing from the exhaust pipe, condensation is taking place, and the kerosene is not properly utilized. "Kerosene knocking" is an ailment which many operators of kerosene tractors have to overcome. It isn't one-half so bad as it sounds. Cculation! Reading it, I ter Reading editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, G., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this I have received a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OFFICE PROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Judge Alva Corlett returned to the traffic bench in Municipal Court, recently. Thirty minutes later, Arthur Wyatt, age 35, of 3106 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. 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 He." Judge Corlett said. "Not only do you commit one of the most serious of offenses, but you come into court for a hearing on 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 led about it, I'd take him out to the barn and shoot him." 'Rah! for Judge Corlett!

A kerosene knock may occur because of the differences of combustion characteristics between kerosene and gasoline. The heating value of Tractor cra built to run but they were built with owners give them little intelligent care. gasoline is much greater than kerosene, consequently developing more horse-power per gallon. If such a knock does take place when traveling under a normal load the combustion space between piston and cylinder head may be too small. Try making one or two shims between the cylinder block and the head, provided the head is removable.
