Persons wish- M. ing one or more copies should write Mr. Gray here at Washington. In connection with the foregoing the following is of more than passing interest to The Gazette's many readers: Dr. E. G. Sifler's Letter. New York University, July 2, '25. Mr. L. C. Gray... Division of Land Economics, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir:—I am sincerely interested to hear that Dr. W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce is to publish some of his classical papers in a volume. The small number of classical scholars which I have taught who were students of colored birth were, without exception, earnest and industrious pupils, one of them, Countie Cullen, excelling in advanced Latin prose, as well as in reasoning about incidental problems. I have always held, that we should welcome the advancement of a race, so long condemned to slavery for others, an advancement concretely proven as possible by such worthy representatives as Dr. Scarborough felicitating them in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln.

An Even More Harrowing Account of Outrages Committed in Haiti Can Also Be ToldAmerican Admirals Act Worse Than Some Czars of Russia Used to Act Coolidge Should Stop It. Chicago, Ill.—"If conditions in the Virgin Islands were bad when the United States bought them from Denmark in 1917, they are 10 times worse today." This is the statement of Lucius J. M. Malmin, for six years Federal Judge in the islands, who in an exclusive interview with NEA Service and The. Press exorolates the Navy Department's government of these possessions and holds Congress responsible for what he terms "the tyrannical rule of naval governors." The judge charges that: 1. In five years the islands will be depopulated because of misrule and bad economic conditions. 2. In eight years the islands have had six naval officers as governors, five of whom have been recalled because of gross mismanagement of affairs. 3. A naval governor ordered, him to render a certain decision from the bench without hearing the evidence, and ejected him from his court when he refused to do it. 4. Congress has broken faith with the natives by falling to provide a civil government instead of naval rule, inaugurated as a temporary measure. 5. A native editor was jailed for criticizing the naval rule. Judge Willett "I was a judge without a court," says Malmin. "In 1921, Admiral Oman, then naval governor of the islands, ordered me to render a decision against the Bethlehem Sugar Co., without hearing the evidence. Oman's theory was that since a judge was a government employee he should take orders from the head of the government. When I refused to obey the governor's orders he ejected me from my court." The case was taken by the third appellate court at Philadelphia. Malmin won and was reappointed by President Harding, after having been named originally for the office by President Wilson. After the islands, I found no improvement in conditions," the judge continued. Admiral Oman or his subordinates attempted to dictate the decision in every criminal case. "Art As Conquerors" "The islands are regarded as occupied territory by the naval adwomen's endowment fund amounts to $559.053. W. S. Willis of Texas, as secretary of the supreme endowment board, a separate institution from the grand lodge boards, reported that he had $106,289 in resources. Dr. E. E. Underwood of Kentucky, supreme keeper of records and seals, collected $80,000 in supreme lodge funds for the term. T. G. Nutter of West Virginia, handled, as supreme master of exchequer, $150,000. The Hon. Edward D. Green of Illinois, secretary of the Pythian commission, reported assets of that department as $584,652. The encampment opened the eyes of white Kentucky, which journeyed often and stayed long to view the spectacle, and the local daily papers praised highly not only the encampment but particularly the great parade Officers elected: Supreme chancellor, S.

The natives have no country. They gave up their Danish citizenship and have been given no other. They cannot get passports to leave their native soil for foreign countries, and; if they go to New York or to Porto Rico, as 10,000 of them have done, they have no rights of citizenship." As typical of naval mismanagement, Judge Malmin cites two incidents that occurred under the administration of the late Governor Williams. "Several months ago," he says, "Francis Rothschild, editor of the Emancipator, published at St. Thomas, the capital of the islands, criticized editorially the conduct of a certain police official. He was arrested, fined and given 30 days in fall. by Judge George Washington Williams of Baltimore, my successor. Rothchild appealed. Commenting on the appeal in his paper, he was again arrested and given the same sentence. The other instance led to the recall of Governor Williams. The local assembly of the island had been dominated by the governors. When it finally revolted and refused to confirm two of Governor Williams' appointments, the governor dispersed it. The depopulation of the islands is due to bad economic conditions, caused by the Diesel engine, the Volstead act, and the low, price of sugar. St. Thomas formerly was a great coaling station, but more and more ships are using oil-burning engines," he says. Prohibition Big Blow- "The rum made at St. Croix is world famous, but prohibition has killed that industry. Sugar brings only two cents a pound in the islands now, and this means wages of 20 cents a day for the natives. The population of the islands was 25,000 but it is fast diminishing. Most of the natives are Negroes, but they are literate and intelligent, having been educated by the Danish."—Cleveland Daily Press. These same intolerable conditions only worse, as a result of American naval control, exist in the little island republic of Haiti. How much longer will President Coolidge and the Congress permit them to continue? No wonder South American countries have little or no confidence in this country. CONGRATULATIONS.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1925. President Coolidge now has an opportunity to send an Afro-American as minister to Haiti. Will he do it? We shall see. We want all of our readers, especially those in this city, to read Judge Manuel Levine's exceptionally fine article, in Monday's News-Leader, on crime and remedies for it. It is a thoughtful production that is not only illuminating but beneficial. The Gazette is indebted to the old reliable Cleveland Daily Press for the large plate, on page 1 of this paper, containing portraits of Judge Malmin and Admiral Oman, and the small map of the Virgin Islands. By the way, all of our people of Cleveland, at least, have noticed with considerable satisfaction the fine Press publications, in recent months, of special interest and help to them and fully appreciate the same. In a letter, received last week, Prof. W. S. Scarborough, former president of Wilberforce University, wrote: "I am sending you four dollars ($4) for two years' subscription to The Gazette, and also want to congratulate you on your able management—editorially and otherwise—of "The Old Reliable" Gazette." Thank you, Dr. Scarborough! Congratulations accompanied with a substantial amount of the "coin of the realm" are most helpful indeed, these days of "Coolidge good times", May your kind increase. THE N. E. R. L. "OUT IN FRONT" Cleveland, O., Aug. 22, '25. Wm. Monroe Trotter, Editor, "The Guardian", Boston, Mass. Friend Trotter:—It gives me very great pleasure indeed to commend in the strongest possible manner the stand against federal segregation of our government employees The National Equal Rights League has taken. Ever since early last fall, The Gazette has been trying, every week, to arouse our people, the country over, to a full and very proper realization of the enormity of the insult and harm done them by the disgraceful segregation, particularly that in the Departments at Washington, D. C. That is why, for many, many months, commencing long before the last national election, my paper, The Gazette, has carried, every week, a full and complete account of the federal segregation of our government employees in the Departments at the nation's capital. The N. E. R. L. is the first of our national organizations to recognize the importance of aggressive action on the part of our people to put a stop to the miserable practice, and too much praise cannot, as a result, be given it. During the campaign, last fall, the Hon. Wm. M. Butler, now a U. S. Senator, then manager of the Coolidge campaign, was furnished the facts, relative to segregation, by the writer and I know that he in person received them. So does Monroe Mason of your city. Segregation, on the score of race or color, of American citizens is un-American, or should be, and an insult and humiliation that no red insult, many class of American citizens like ours will ever quietly submit to. While no same person, familiar with the facts, and all can get them from any copy of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette for the mere asking, will deny that segregation in Washington, D. C. alone is extensive, if it were not, the principle violated and the insult and humiliation given nearly ten million loyal American citizens are the same. Find out who the "Negro" political "boot-lickers" are who told Senator Butler that were "little if any of it", meaning segregation, and brand them the contemptible traitors to the race they are. Let all of our people of the country know and defend them, as they surely will. The greatest defection from the Republican ranks, as far as Afro-American voters are concerned, this country has ever seen, occurred, last fall, because of segregation more than all other complaints combined, and if it is not wiped out by the President before the next national election, that defection will be doubled, at least. By taking up the fight against federal segregation, The National Equal Rights League has put itself in the forefront, ahead of all our other national organizations. More power to it! Yours for the race. XIX The Gazette gives herewith excellent portraits of the two Pittsburgh heroes who lost their lives, recently, in an effort to save the life of a white man who jumped into the Monongahela river. We did everything in our power to get these cuts in time for use in either our issue of Aug. 8 or 15. Knowing our many readers would like to see what the World War veterans looked like we persevered and with the help of the managing editor of the Pittsburgh Daily Sun, to which The Gazette is indebted for the use of the cuts, we have finally succeeded. A fund is being raised for the families of the brothers. MOON AND COHRON Called To County Prosecutor's Office and Ordered To Return $100 Pair for "Stock in The Herald Publishing Co." Cannot Stock "Sell Some months ago, Mrs. C. B. Fortner, of Dunlap Ave., was induced to purchase $100 worth of "stock" in The Herald Publishing Co. by R. K. Moon who says he has invested $600 in it. Mr. George Cohron, who invested $1,250, it is said, in the same organization, gave her a receipt for $100 worth of "stock". Cohron has since gotten out of the Herald company, with Mr. Moon to purchase that Mr. Moon, whose son was made editor of the paper, frequently appealed to them to aid financially in getting the paper out, different weeks. This it seems created, and naturally, too, a desire on the Fortners' part that Mrs. Fortner get her hundred back. Failing to get the satisfaction desired from either Mr. Moon or Mr. Cohron, she threatened suit and with her attorney A. O. Dickey, (white), took up the matter with the prosecutor attorney, with Mr. Moon to have the matter over to him of his assistants, Selmo C. Glenn, and County Detective Doran, for settlement. There was a hearing, Saturday morning, in the offices of the prosecuting attorney. There it developed that under the "blue law", the Herald Publishing has no legal right to sell "stock", and Messrs. Moon and Cohron were told by Messrs. Glenn and Doran to return the money at once to Mrs. Fortner, or face criminal charges. Mrs. Moon and Cohron holding in abeyance pending the settlement. Mr. Cohron told her that Undertaker Elmer Boyd had given a check for "stock" but the payment amount of it. He may get the funeral anyhow, however. Also, that Mrs. Wm. Owens was to take $300 worth of "stock", paying $25 down. There are others, of course. It seems that the Chicago Defender's "cock" and story, some months ago, was losing sands to a result of the actions of employees that were "fired", was the cause of an almost insane desire upon the part of some local individuals to invest in newspaper "stock" or to get into the newspaper publishing business. All who did, as desired, know better, O so much better, NOW! Mrs. Fortner says Messrs. Moon and Cohron were rather impatiently awaiting the return to the city of M. E. Auther, an officer of the Herald Publishing Co., and wanted to see a local doyenne, also a man, who we do not recall.

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, and the war in 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; and it has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census in this city in white and white in this city in black, white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and caused by all-embracing exert 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 On to by our Republican Presidency last week, a colored girl appeared after having been best examination, 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 John and President Coolidge. Hall North Carolina, the home of the other father 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 speak up against 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 Constitution, "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious 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, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the white, the comfort of the state, and setting the tone as though they were lepers. The injustice sings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and 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 lockers, segregated segregation is even mapped 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 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 passee whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) 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 to meet the employees may go but there are the employees may go 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, as elsewhere, the inferior positions as owner or supervision employee 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 restful retreat because of that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality" and then dismissed on a trumpet-charge. He was a employee, however, and he was 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 a employee was removed from the company 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 dentalist, a psychiatrist, an artist, and a request for the names 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. AUGUST 29. 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 well settled upon it, and the complaints cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The tiazetta) 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 herole 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 and saw white and colored girls working to maintain harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of them 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 loca 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 discoured, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Osseo was to attack White House and 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 ait toogether. 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. We 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 apt, 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 girls for 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. The President's recent acceptance speech, Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a corporat 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's administration 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 toilette, 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 be physical inconvenience at times, and they travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the feovetive scene that their presence creates. It seas of woodland and the grass 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 Republeanan Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blank 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 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 federal revenue department, the former, beaver board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to indict Mr. Coolidge's actions in meetings here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Registrar of the Treasury; the area 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. 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 standing, willing to endure years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature not white." The world respects only those who resent and resist prescriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist dental of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve con empt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. COLORED PEOPLE OF CLEVELAND IN 1857. Before Lincoln's Proclamation They Were On The Map. (Contributed by Dr. Geo. F. Bragg, Jr.) . (From the Baltimore Herald-Commonwealth.) "Though not large, the colored population of Cleveland surpasses in thrift the same number in any other place in the North. Indeed, they will compare most favorably with an equal number of whites in any portion of Ohio. Most of them are from the South, where they were free, but were driven out by the tyrannical and oppressive laws of slavery, which they were unwilling longer to endure. Some of them are engaged in business, employing their own capital. Messrs. Oliver & Henderson have a large and well-stocked store on Erie St., and appear to be liberally patronized by their white fellow-citizens. They are from Richmond, Va., and reside in their own dwellings. Mr. Oliver, though a resident of a slave state, managed to teach them up with far more credit than most whites of the South. His two daughters are highly cultivated, and would grace any drawing room in the guitar. They feel deeply interested in the anti-slavery cause, and need only to become better acquainted with our movement to embrace it most cheerfully. Mr. Morris is proud of his work. Mr. chant tailor, and has a fine run of custom. He is an educated man, and Mrs. Morris would do honor to any society in which she might appear. Mr. Parker keeps a provision store, and resides in a fine brick house, owned by himself. He is employed on the Mississippi river, and leaves the management of the store to Mrs. Parker, who possesses what Powder would be more than a greater extent than most women. She would be a fortune to any business man. Mr. Swing and Mr. Stanley are tin manufacturers, and each has an establishment of his own. Mr. Marshall keeps a grocery store, and another, whose name I did not learn, has a blacksmith shop and is doing well. Miss Allston, an accomplished young lady, is a teacher of music best suited to piano. Miss Stanley is a teacher in one of the day schools, and her education places her in the front rank of her profession. There are many other colored persons in Cleveland who are doing well, and whose elevated positions will contribute much towards the cause of the slave. Amongst these are Mr. Vosburgh and Mr. Leech. The former rents on house to his older brother and the latter to his physician. Mr. Vosburgh deserves great credit for his industry. The colored citizens of Cleveland took decidedly more interest in the late Convention than the whites; and the respectability and the high tone of morals that characterize them have opened the doors of the public schools to their children. This fact alone speaks volumes for the city. The number of are nearly seven million dollars worth of property owned by this proscribed people in Ohio. Some of their farms are the finest I have ever seen. Colored mechanics are numerous here, and I write this letter under the hospitable roof of a black man who owns forty acres of land, and the grief-mill that stands upon the property of Colleen Brown, in the November (1857) issue of the Boston "Liberator." BRIEF CASES AND SATCHELLS! Hundreds of "Negroes" Carrying Them Daily—Looking For 'Easy' Money—Last Week's Best Editorial—"You Can't Get Something For Nothing". A great many people live by their wits. Those who know them and live in their neighborhoods are ignorant of the ways such people employ to make ends meet and often to present a brave front. They have no visible means of support, but they know how to move and civic movements of the time and place and always appear to have plenty of money. That is one sort. We all know some of them and marvel at the good fortune which appears to hedge about them. If we knew how they manage to do it we should not envy them. They make up one sort of career and are not afraid to loaf, be criminals who prey on society and get away with it for a season, but the police get them in the end. They are what we may call social parasites. The Negro race has a great many more of them than it needs and are good for it. They ought to grow fewer, but they appear to increase, particularly in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, and the like. Social parasites are dangerous. If there are too many of them they destroy the healthy bodies with which they come in contact and upon which they prey. Every race has plenty of them, showing in that way that "one touch of nature makes nothing to the passive health and happiness of the community, but are a source of constant trouble and anxiety to their neighbors. As a matter of fact, we can't get EDWIN BARCLAY, LIBERIAN SECRETARY, IN THE U. S. EDWIN BARCLAY, LIBERIAN SECRETARY, IN THE U. S. Mission Is a Secret—Rubber Interests Developing Liberia —Homeland Problem Again Up for Discussion. WASHINGTON.—With the arrival of Edwin Barclay on the steamer Paris, in New York, specu- lation is the official circles in Washington as to the visit of Dr. Barclay's visit in his official capacity as Liberian Secretary of State. After being accorded diplomatic courtesies by the representatives of American State Department, the Honorable Mr. Barclay was also welcomed. Dr. Lyons of Baltimore who is the Liberian consul general in the United States. There has been some trouble between the French authorities and the natives in the Zinta section on the frontier and Secretary Barclay has just come from Paris, France. It will be remembered that the American Congress some time ago turned down a five million dollar loan for Liberia after it had been appointed the executive department of the U.S. It is understood that some of the mammoth rubber companies of America are planning a deal with the Liberian government in exchange for much-needed rights and privileges in order that America may break the British corner of the raw rubber supply. The arrival of official representatives of the Liberian Republic always revives interest in the relations of the African Homeland to the race population here in the U.S. It will be remembered that a representative of the Homeland lately spoke strongly against Garvey's idea. Opposes Garvey Idea During Secretary Barclay's visit Inter-Racial News Service correspondents have been instructed by Kamsey Ray, general manager, to interview Race notables in various sections in regard to the actual status of our Group in each portion of the United States. In a conversation, Madame Mamadou and the lower, the famous Beauty Culturist, the originator of the Golden Brown Preparations, had this to say: "I am very happy of course to welcome Secretary Barclay both because of his distinguished position in a friendly government and because of his noble ancestry. I have not forgotten that another Barclay served as President of our African Homeland in the early present century and that the Barclay family furnished a Secretary of State at another period besides at the present." "Like the Philippines, for mutually good reasons Liberia should remain the good and true friend of America at all times. Trade Commerce, Finance, all these things alone will dictate a course, even if it were not an imperative obligation based on the past history of Liberia and its settlement by the American Colonization Society, just a little over 100 years ago." "I think that the relations of the people of our Race to both the government and natives of Liberia must be one of helpfulness, friendliness and cordial co-operation. By careful study and by constant development it should be possible in the most unknown interior of the Homeland to a land of health and prosperity. Like the Alaska of fifty years ago, Liberia means to most of us a sort of a dreamland, a wilderness rather than a gripping, actual, living reality with magnificent potentialities. But when one looks back through development of our Race, particularly here in the South the justifiable, actual, living reality is sible and almost foolhardy to suggest leaving this land of wealth and health for the uncertainty of the primitive." New Schools in South "I know it is unpopular to take this view, but when I look at the five reasons in the dreamt to Liberia's Declaration of Independence I find five major reasons at that time (1847) for further immigration from the U. S. to Africa: Exclusive from civil offices; exception from participation in Government taxation with out consideration; discriminations without avenues of improvements; contribution without protection." "Now, twenty-five years, after "Now seventy-five years after anything for nothing. Nature may owe us all a-living, proper clothing and a place to sleep, but unless we hustle for these as the ordinary animal does we shall not have them. The less we have the less respect we have of ourselves and of our fellows; the more we have the more respect we have of ourselves and of our fellows. It is the way of the world. We can't have much learning without hard and continuous study, late and early; we can't have much wealth unless we work hard and save much as we work and plan how to make a better life. We can't earn the dollar. The Jew learns this lesson in childhood and nrac- P. EDWIN BARCLAY. our Race in the South and in the United States with its schools, its colleges, its certain civil officials, its freedom and its power at the polls, looks about with pride at a country which has done so much to minimize oppression and ignorance. Granted there are certain prejudices still existing against our color yet, we are not alone, and peoples of other creeds and colors, make the same complaint." "Through Presidents like Lincoln and Roosevelt, through the work of our own great leaders like Washington, Moton and Fuller, the Race in North America has gradually come to stand on the higher grounds of citizenship and intellectuality." "In the South we find new schools and colleges springing up to meet the demand for more education and better education for our Race. Here in Memphis, for instance, we are just completing a completely equipped high school and secondary education under the personal direction of Prof. Hamilton, a scholar and musician, of far more than local reputation. In Memphis, for instance, long before the art of instrumental music was developed along band lines in our town, Hamilton had organized a splendid boys' brass band at Kortrecht High." Racial Advancement "I think that we should encourage and always continue to encourage Liberia as a home for the depressed and destitute, but I feel very strongly that with the constant advancement of the Race in that there is but one way to greater progress to ment to almost ideal living conditions. That is by sending more of our boys and girls to our splendid public and private schools, urging a more general study of the racial problems by leading citizens of both colors, by showing our apprehension of the situation, assistance that is being rendered us by such men as Bishop Thomas F. Gailor, executive head of the Episcopal Church in North America, Julian Rosenwald of Chicago and other white leaders by determining to be better citizens and improve our standards of living. The surprise of the great toleration is to prove ourselves worthy of the Republic." Madame Hightower is known in almost all civilized countries of the world for her work as a Beauty Specialist and friend of our girls and women. She has launched the great National Golden Brown Beauty Contest which is sweeping the entire U.S. and close of the Contest, Sept. 15th, the lovely Race girl in North America chosen by votes will receive a gorgeous Hudson Super-Six automobile, a free trip to Atlantic City, a $100.00 Trouseau and the queenly crown of beauty.

The average white man knows how to work and save, and there is nothing but want and disappointment in working hard and saving nothing. The Negro has to learn this lesson. He must learn to save something so that he may have what he needs to do this he cannot have everything he wants nor go everywhere he wants to go; he must deny himself many things in order to have some things, and he is not generally disposed to do this. He is rather disposed to spend as he goes and go as he goes. Anyone can see the end of such a person — The Negro World, N. Y. City.
