Harry C. Smith, Editor. Gazette Dear Friend Harry;—I am always glad to read The Gazette, because it has championed the cause of the oppressed group of our country from its beginning till now. But last week when it came to my country home, I was never more surprised and pained when I read of the Garvin-Wade Park citizens episode. I could hardly believe my eyes as I read the explosion and demonstration of that infernal, unreasonable thing we call prejudice. I did not believe it, city, Cleveland, had a type of men so small in the heart and lacking in intelligence. I have always believed that culture is colorless. Prejudice is pre-judging, and no sensible man should judge a man by the color of his skin and the texture of his hair. I once remarked to a white preacher, when he asked did not I feel "at a hood" and did not I feel "at a gathering of white men". I repiled by asking him, he believe that a black hood felt out of place with a hog that had white hair? I further remarked: My brother if you were a hog and the color that you are, and I were a hog, the color that I am, the only difference would be you be a white hog and I would be a black hog and I would be hogs. Said I further, since we are not a hog, and the color you are, and I am not a hog, and the color I am, the difference is that you are a man with a fairer skin and I am a man with a darker skin, but both are MEN! I am as ashamed of such a happening, because Cleveland, our fair-famed city, is put in the list with the backward South which we call the South, and yet I have more sympathy for the south than the men of the caller that stirred up this musc. The south is reaping now of 250 years of training. It wrought 250 years, natred and oppression against the Negro, and is now and will be reaping what it has sown for quite a time at home. Slavery and injustice astrotro, that justice and fair-play and it cannot rid it-self of it in fifty or sixty years. There is a law in morals: when a man has done you an injury and has never repented of it, he will always hate you till he repents. He hates you because he is trying to square his conscience. But there is no excuse for the northern cultured man to feel as these gentlemen feel toward the Negro. My God! I wonder, at times, when and where will this damnable stupidity and assimilation be fulfilled in christianity? But let us see where this infernal prejudice is hated and fostered. See the nation's capital, Washington, D. C.! Of course, this segregation started in the capital at Washington, under President Wilson, nursed under Harding and enlarged under the little man, who was born in a little sterile state. There is not much depth and breadth of brain and heart at our seat of government any more. So the whole nation watched his colony wash away. Washington, D. C. The nation seems to have run out of great men for Presidential timber. The passing of Col. T. Roosevelt ended our generation of great men. CADIZ.—Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Tyler, Mr. George Rudolph, and Mrs. Mara Tyler are visiting in Zanzville.—Mr. and Mrs. Willard Steward and family of Flushing, visited Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Johnson, Friday.—Miss Evelyn M.

CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies. Unless this latter is done, proper credit cannot be given you. Listes of names, wedding presents, etc., obituary notices, inquiries for relatives and advertisements of all kinds, including items announcing entertainments to be held in the near future, must be paid for in advance at the rate of 25 cents a line, six words to a line. Our rates for display advertisements will be sent on application. ILLBORO.—Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Killour and daughters, of Columbus, visited Mrs. America Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Rockhold, Sunday.—Mrs. Frankie Williams is quite ill—Miss Cassie Essex enter- Is it possible that these men are afraid of the Negro? Why this throwing up of breast-work and fortifying an army of combatants to tell us that these people are weak and ill prepared to withstand the growth and progress of a group of recently emancipated slaves. It is an acknowledgement of mental moral and financial weakness to hide behind color and not character. Character only differentiates between man and man—not money, not even learning. A man is better than an animal, and a man is better than a person. The individual, that made the remark that "Dr. Garvin will never live in that house", doubtless never weighed his word. They are far-reaching in effect and calculated to stir the animus of the thoughtless of both races to a foolish frenzy and bitter regret. It was the kick of a cow in the barn that caused the great fire in Chicago, some years back. He forgets the critical age in which we are passing. Crime is rife, why encourage more? Should a clash be so severe as it would inington, D. C. Brown, a few years ago, that gentleman and his ilk would be the originators. He seems to be shaking the red flag at the infuriated牛. Cleveland is a good peaceable city and the racial feeling is good. Why disturb its quiet? We have some very bad Negroes here as well as some very bad white men, and why should the good, lawabiding people of both races be set at variance? The Negro has suffered and will suffer much more, why irritate him? What? What? What? What? must the Negro do? Must he live in squaller in hovels and slums? By him seeking different locations to which to move his family and live, does not go to say he is seeking the society of the other group. We sit on the street-cars together, trade over the same counter and walk and jostle one another on the same sidewalks, on the streets, and on the streets when recognized. Why think it will be different when living in the same street or block? There is no social equality, no, not in the same racial group. No one can be my guest except I invite him or her into my home. Men should invite opposition, but defy competition. Race superiority under the research and culture of the 20th century is important. There is no superior brain of another, Equal opportunities and environment bring out geniuses in all races. Of course, that little coterie of men do not voice the sentiment of the many thousands of fair-minded men and women of even their group. Let us have peace! We have lived here together for 300 years. We are citizens of one great country and let us use it to suffer, like it, together. Together let us sweetly live, together let us die, believing we have one common destiny, and any man, white or black, who makes such foolish threats as the one in the conference, last week, is not a good citizen and should be regarded as dangerous to society welfare.

The German - American Catholic Union, Strong for Tolerance. The 69th convention of the Catholic Central Verein passed this following resolution at its last meeting, held here, recently: The spirit of the Constitution of our country makes for that true tolerance among our citizens which Christian justice and charity enjoin on all men. Human pride, augmented by other passions, leads to a disregard of the rights of others and the obligations of brotherly love. Differences of race, color, language, wealth and social standing are stressed, leading to mutual dislike, distrust, social unrest and even enmity and hideous crimes. Since the citizenry of our country is made up of men of various races and nations, it especially behooves us to guard against the temptation of fostering racial strife, while we should do what lies in our power to promote peace and good-will among all men, always ready to actively assist in the solution of our racial prob- Mindful of the fact that one of the first and foremost saints of the New World, St. Peter Claver, devoted his life to the Negroes, and that even ahead of such glorious martyrs as the Jesuits, many meritorious men was beheaded by the Church, the Blessed Martin de Porres, let us in a special manner devote our attention to relieving the condition of the members of the Negro race, subjected to so many injustices, not merely denied rights guaranteed them by the constitution, but also by indignities which deeply offend them. They, too, are our neighbors, both under the law of Christ and that of our country. We therefore wish to impress on our members the obligation to labor for the better relations and to grant their assistance to all efforts to bring them about. KING AMOAH ARRIVES From West Africa to Study the Afro Americans' Accomplishments— New York City.—Coming here from a country where acquaintances greet each other by raising a leg each and putting the soles of the feet together; where women receive preference in all matters; where succession to the throne passes through the maternal side of the family, and where only a nephew can inherit the throne, and the coast of West Africa, arrived, last Friday, on the Cunard liner, Aquitania, for a visit. He admitted New York was "different" from the towns of his native land. King Amaoah, who is ruler of 30,000 to 40,000 people, intends to visit American cities which have large Afro-American populations, where he will study the history of the region, the observations he hopes to take back valuable suggestions for his own subjects. The kind is 49, a Protestant, and was educated in the first Christian college established in the gold coast country. As an evidence of his faith he wears a miniature gold Bible dangling from a jade bracelet on his wrist. Although he is travel ingocious, King Amaoah is fit of photographers and reporters. These were of beautifully colored silk and wool, which he said, required fifty natives a year to manufacture. From his neck were suspended a chain of gold nuggets; on his wrists bracelets of ivory, ebony and gold. His stubby fingers were incased in rings of pounded gold, some as large as girders. On his feet were his gliders with loops for his toes. His symbol of authority is a sword of ancient Venetian pattern, with a heavy, gold handle terminating in a huge knob. This, he said, has been in his family from thirty to forty generations. The king is a widower and has four children. He reported that Christianity is causing the gradual disappearance of polygamy. While in the United States he plans to visit Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cities THREE PASTORS RESIGN. Atlanta, Ga.—Dr. Ernest Hall, pastor of Liberty Street Baptist church, has been called to Cleveland, Q. Dr. Peter J. Bryant has been called to a Baptist church in Michigan. Dr. Russell Brown, pastor of the First Congregational church, has accepted a call to Mt. Zion Cong. church, Cleveland. All three of the ministers are reported to welcome the chance to get rid of the "jim-crow" so prevalent here. The following left for college, last week: Frances Goode, Chloe France, Elwood Glenn, Mary Howard, Lucille Taylor, Albert Carr, Kenyon Burke, for Ohio State University; Joe Thomas, for Mehary Medical College; Thos. Fleming, Jr., for Howard University; Teenie Green, Norman Selby Minor, Teddie Williams and Bud Mitchell, to the University of Michigan, Naomi Grist to Atlanta, and Gregory Washington, D. to study pharmacy, Melvin and Grace Lomax are our first to enter Ursuline Academy (Catholic college). SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS NOT ONLY AGAINST OUR PEOPLE! ABOUT 400 MEET AND EFFECT A PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. Not Near So "Raw" and Noisy as the Wade Allotment Property Owners' Meeting—Many in Both Meetings Not Property Owners—Bailey and Murrell to "Hold the Fort" Undoubtedly encouraged by local kluxers, and the kluxer-Wade allotment "property-owners" meeting of Sunday afternoon week, about 400 Shaker Heights property-owners met, last week Friday evening, in the S. Ward building. What do they could do to estop Afro-Americans from purchasing property in that residential section. The recent acquisition of property there by Dr. E. A. Bailley of Huntington Drive and Howard Murrell, of Fairmount nerves and they say they want to stop any more "Negroes, Jews", etc. from purchasing out there. This they cannot do legally. A little thing, very much like a U. S. Supreme Court decision, stands in their way and is causing no end of worry, these residents of the Wade milder and far more gentleness than the one of the Wade allotment owners to protest against C. H. Garvin, as a resident of that section. It was, too, a good indication of the difference in the "quality" of residents of the Wade allotment. Permanent Organization It was called to order by H. G. Gannon and the work of organizing a permanent association to act on the two cases mentioned and to take steps to prevent other property getting into the hands of people not wanted in Shaker Heights, was quickly finished. Wells K. Stanley was made permanent chairman; Louis Wells, secretary, and A. Gannon, vice president, wasized to appoint an executive committee of five to co-operate with the Answerings (real estate dealers), to work out some method of restricting all property in Shaker Heights so that present owners may control all sales. The "method" will have to "get around" that U. S. Supreme Court decision against residential segregation, rendered in the Louisville, Va., case several years ago. It will also be formed a committee composed of one property holder on each street, this committee to secure signatures of all property holders to an agreement regarding general restrictive measures. "Hopping From the Frying Pan" While temporary commissions are often used for the communication Opens Its Doors in "Little Old New York"—Has Occupied Four Sites. New York City.—More than 7,000 worshippers attended the opening, on a recent Sunday, of the new $500,000 "Mother" A. M. E. church, at 140 W. 137th St., Rev. James W. Brown, pastor. All but $165,000 has been paid. Cash and pledges, taken in the collection amounted to $5,000. This is our oldest congregation in the city. It was organized in 1796, an offshoot from John St. Methodist church (white). "Mother Zion" has occupied four sites, each time moving further uptown. The first site was Church and Leonard Str's. The church has about 3,000 members. "Not Yet Emerged From Barbarism" Macon, Ga.—The Macon Telegraph, leading daily paper of this city, commenting editorially on recent ynchings, says: "We have not yet emerged from the age of barbarism. Unless there comes out of these crimes and all other crimes in which we take the laws under which we live into their own hands, the swift and sure punishment that should come, we cannot really claim to be civilized. We have been civilized by civilization and the luxuries of modern invention, but if we condone these crimes against society we have the primal instincts of the brute and the savage". All loyal members of the race, particularly those in business, note with more than ordinary pleasure indications of progress on the part of Afro-American enterprises. Recently, the Cleveland branch of The Supreme Life & Casualty Company of Columbus, M. C. Clarke, manager; The Fireside Mutual Aid Association, H. P. McAllister, manager, and The Credential Bond & Mortgage Company, R. Black, manager, moved to greatly improved, more convenient and much better quarters at 2292 E. 55th St., near Central Ave. The formal opening of these new offices will take place, next Friday from 4 to 10 p.m. at the University of Chicago, those in attendance. We trust The Gazette's readers will make it convenient to be present and take with them at least one friend. Congratulations! Friends Clarke, McAllister and Black, and best wishes for greatly increased business in the future. IN UNION IS STRENGTH E COPY FIVE CENTS TEST MIST OUR PEOPLE! O EFFECT A PERMANENT ZATION. poisy as the Wade Allotment meting—Many in Both Party Owners—Bailey "Hold the Fort" to be followed, W. E. MacEwen, vice president of the National Refining Co., gave the history of the Wade allotment situation. He said he will move, Tuesday, from Wade allotment to Shaker Heights. Dr. E. A. Bailey Dr. Charles Haven Meyer, pastor of Shaker Heights Community church, advocated formation in Cleveland of a permanent committee of whites and colored people "to control such situations." There is already an interracial committee, Dr. Meyer. "To buy these people out at a profit is only paving the way for more cases of this kind." he said. John L. Cannon explained restrictive measures proposed and urged that all citizens of Shaker Heights assist the Van Sweringens in trying to impose restrictions. One of the gentlemen in attendance said their "objections were not only to Negroes but also to Jews and any other persons not satisfactory to the residents of Shaker Heights". What a country as "codfish aristocracy" could be called womene and Shaker Heights objects would make the U. S., if they but had their way. Lord, have mercy! EMINENT CRIMINAL Detroit, Mich.—One of the greatest criminal authorities in this state has been retained by the N. A. A. C. P. to defend Dr. and Mrs. O. H. Hweet, his two brothers and seven other members of the race, accused of murdering two whites, recently, of murdering the D. Sweet, who from a mob. All eleven were refused bail in Judge Faust's court, Sept. 22 but appeared, Saturday, in another judge's room for another hearing Under American law, "a man's home is his castle", be it ever so humble, and he has a right to defend it from the mob or anything or anybody else. He is also within their rights and will NEVER be convicted of murder or any other crime in this case. Big Brooklyn Meeting. Brooklyn, N. Y. — A great delegate mass meeting was held, Sunday afternoon, in Holy Trinity Baptist church. The pastor, president of the Brooklyn Branch of the N. E. R. league, presided. Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter of Boston, nat. col. sec., was the chief speaker. He stirred the big argument for appeal for Afro-Americans to meet a great and a feared group of Americans by uniting and conducting an organized crusade on their own account against race discrimination and deprivation as a basic line of action. IT HURT THEIR FEELINGS! Paris, France.—Southern whites from the U. S. A. gnashed their teeth, last night, at the Follies Bergere, the most famous music hall in the world. I stood at the door and listened to their comments as they went out. The sight was that of a magnificent Gengalese Negro, nucleo save for a leon cloth, dancing with an equally striking white woman, similarly dressed. It sure made the Mason and Dixon folks mad. In the dance the woman sat on his knee, and caressed him. What would not the Afro-American have accomplished if he had been treated like a man as he is here, and if he did not have to use up so much of his energy fighting the despicable color question—that philosophy of imbeciles which declares that the color makes the man.—J.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1925. Our voters should not forget for a single moment the fact that increasing the bonded indebtedness of Cleveland means higher rents and higher taxes. So use judgment when you go to the polls in November. --- Prof. Neval H. Thomas, head of the Washington, D. C., branch of the N. A. A. C. P., writes the editor of The Gazette to notify all of our people visiting the nation's capital to report to him (Thomas) any discrimination against them in public places of that city. --- Our attention has been called, by a Jewish friend of more than twenty-five years' standing, to the fact that there is an R. C. Koblitz, on the Billy Boyd-Wade allotment property-owners' conference committee, whom he insists is a Jew. Our friend also calls attention to the fact that years ago, if indeed not now, Jews were refused when they sought to purchase property in that allotment, and he is very bitter in his criticism of Koblitz for the part he is taking in the Garvin-Wade allotment boomerang. We really would like to know if our friend is correct. To what group does Koblitz belong? The Crowley Ridge Chronicle, of Forrest City, Ark., under date, Sept. 24, '25, carries an exceptionally well-written article of about two columns' length on the splendid work of Bishop E. Thomas Demby, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in establishing Christ church and a rapidly growing industrial school in Forrest City. The bishop is a real live-wire when it comes to accomplishing results that count, and he is most ably assisted in all he attempts by Mrs. Demby, former Miss Nettie M. Ricks of Cleve land, this city, one of our first young ladies, years ago. SEGREGATING THEMSELVES? Budgets for a new Salvation Army home for our women at 2215 E. 40th St., was before the budget subcommittee on adult institutions of the Welfare Federation, last week Thursday. Why this separation? The Salvation Army rescue home in Kinsman road, this city, has for years taken care of girls and women of ALL classes together and they got on together fw. Will our local Women's Federation look into this matter at once? A home for our delinquent girls has been opened in E. 40th St., and a home for our young men is being conducted in E. 43d St. Why all this segregation, and is it being done by "Negroes" from the South in recent years, as seems to be the case? DOINGS OF THE RACE Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills signed articles in Nies, Michigan, Tuesday, for a heavyweight battle in Sept., 1926, at Michigan City, Ind. Germany has decided to set aside a sum, estimated at twelve million marks, to pay the wages of native African troops, owing to them for the past seven years. The Washington Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., through its president, Prof. Neval H. Thomas, and its secretary, Archibald S. Pinkett, has pledged the entire sources of the organization in legal proceedings against the new union station there for its refusal to serve Bishop Walls, and the wife of Bishop Alleyne of the A. M.

Our theological schools are nearly all of lower status than other schools, for our higher education, have lower entrance and graduation requirements, and comparatively small enrollment according to the findings of a survey made under the direction of the Institute of Social and Religious Research, of New York City, by Dr. Robert L.

OTHER NATIONAL LEADERS IN GREAT EVENT. MEMPHIS, TENN.—Miss Josephine Leggett, striking race artist, and a star of the Shuffle Along Company on its triumphal tour, is Miss Golden Brown of America. According to announcement made today at the offices of Madame Mamie Hightower, offi- cial check by the Golden Brown Chemical Company since the close of the great National Golden Brown Beauty Contest on Tuesday, September 15, determines Miss Leggett as the victor. To her then, at Atlantic City, on October 9-10, during the First Annual Golden Brown Beauty Fete will be presented a latest model Hudson Super-Six Coach. Her expenses to Atlantic City are also borne by the Golden Brown Chemical Company, manufacturers of Golden Brown Beauty Preparations. A valuable trousseau is to be given also. Miss Leggett, always one of the most popular of race stage favorites, has recently made a swing where she has been acclaimed in many of the nation's largest centers, including Pittsburgh, Louisville, Indianapolis, Columbus, and a dozen more cities, her engagements being extended to one week by demand in these centers. Theodore McDonald is a member of the same company. According to Madame Hightower, of the Golden Brown Chemical Company, votes came in torrents during the closing days of the contest. "Crucial moments," says Madame Hightower, "friends Madame Fountain blitten for their favorites, and it was anybody's Hudson up to the last, with positions constantly shifting. Emphatically our race is interested in beauty. That is proved by the tremendous vote cast." Four other contestants from as many states have won free trips to Atlantic City to the fete, with all expenses paid, and a fine trouseau free. They are Miss Texas (Mrs. Lula Booth), who polled over 225,000 votes; Miss Ohio (Miss Mabel Peoples), who polled over 168,000 votes; Miss Columbia (Miss Gladys Randolph) who had more than 150,000 votes, and Miss Wisconsin (Miss Lina Gray), just under 150,000 votes. Miss Leggett, the national winner, polled over 300,000 votes, according to final count and re-check. Miss Randolph Spurts Miss Randolph, by far the youngest of the capital prize winners, also won a diamond bar pin for being the leader in the contest for the week ending September 15. She was never a serious contender until the final week of the contest, when by the great work of her friends she finished fourth in the nation. Our 15 votes have been packed with all Golden Brown Preparations, and a deluge of these have been cast from all parts of the country in order to find the race's real choice as the most beautiful and fair of our flowers. The National Reception Committee at Atlantic City includes Robert L. Van der Poort of the Pittsburgh Courier, and a notable assemblage of artists, publicists and writers of our Group. Diamond rings are to be awarded to the state leaders following the capital prize winners, a full list of diamond ring winners in the United States will be published in this paper next week. Also votes polled by the various state leaders. IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination and are winning even social rights today. The Ithar 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 would expect 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 dental of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1925 PHONE US, WE'LL CALL PROSPECT 913 A. L.

Samuel Vauclain, president of the Baldwin woodworks, Philadelphia, said he accumulated money because he was too busy to spend what he earned. "If you take too much time off to spend your earnings you can't accumulate, and it is intended for one to accumulate. I early recognized that it was my business and my duty to do all the work which came to me to do in the very best manner that I have to do it and without any regard for compensation which I received for it. I saved money," said Mr. Vauclain. Mr. Vauclain is a very wealthy man because he saved money and did not spend it "having a good time", about all the time. He worked steadily, doing his best and SAVED MONEY! The great majority, near all of our people are poor, very poor because they do not save money. They simply must have, about all the time, "a good time". Many do not work steadily; will not The Times. They join from two or three to a half dozen lodges in a church, and the social demands these help them very materially to get rid of the small sums they earn as the result of their work. Every year, in the summer season our people squander hundreds of thousands of hard-earned dollars that many of them suffer for the use of in the winter season, attending conventions in distant cities, attending funerals of distant relatives hundreds of miles away, and taking auto trips. They act like wealthy people when it comes to things "having a good time". Every year, they go to large cities one can see them parading the public streets, behind a band or two, dressed up in a couple of hundred dollars worth of uniforms, plumes, etc, when many of them owe housework, grocery bills, etc. Of course, it is one form of ignorance or another, and yet no one tries to tell them how to live differently; to work steadily and SAVE! Our ministry, which is continually telling them to prepare to die, ought also to be telling them how to save, live differently; to work more economically. Thousands of people owe housework for pleasure only who do not homes or even garages for their cars. They are, and this is more than the rule, completely obsessed with the idea of "a good time". Too much church, lodge, good time, dressing and eating are keeping the great mass of our people poor, very poor indeed. Mr. Vauclain has told them in a few words how to change this heart-rending condition if they will but heed and our ministry and press can do much, very much, to awaken the part of many thousands to work steadily, doing their best all the time, and SAVE!

How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated im the Government’s Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? eiee GML asian’ | one cof the. culored, te. eitend & fe Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Goolidge than there has ever been ‘ince the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Taft, It was greatly extended, un- der President Wilson; increased, sull further, under President Hard- ing; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the pres- ent administration has found time ‘and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft in- troduced it in the bureau of engray- ing. He segregated the census-takers in this elty in 1910, restricting white workers to white people, and black {> black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, an- nounced in his official capacity’ that Negroes should not hold office ‘where white people complained. Ses- Fegation, then, is a Republican in- stitution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing ¢x- tent by Republicans! ‘There is far more of it in the de- partments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close ‘upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil serv- fee, which makes it next to impos- sible for a colored lady ot gentleman To enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photo- graph which must accompany their Dapers, 1s tenaciously held on to by Our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having beer telegraphed for by the department. The photo- graph bad failed to tell her true Color, and they flatly refused to ap- point her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commis- sioner 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 spec- lal favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails trom North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the seg- Fegation forces, Col. Sherrill, super- {ntendent of buildings and grounds. It-{s no uso to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. ‘The colored people here who know the President could destroy segre- gation in the departments of the government, and the photograph Fequirements 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, here it would mot even cost him a Single vote and where be has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he {s not a firm be- Lever in segregation, especially since segregation Is one of the chief ten- ets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its “welcome home” in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Rnectal to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postot fice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under eonstant humiliation and physical disadvantages. Tho department maintains a spacious cafteria 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 discomfore, disadvantage- ous as it fs, is far less galling to the eo.ored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they reffect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelll- gent and efficient servico—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employ- ment. ‘The department goes even farther im Its solicitude for whites and neg- lect 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 em- ployees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the peo- ple. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation {s even attempted in the tollets. 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- euce of the culored, to attend @ re- ception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, 1n the postoitice building. 1t announcea dancing and a pleasant social eve- wing With (he olicials for “the pos: oftice employees,” yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. 1 hurried a protest to the postmaster general the, day) before 3t was to come of, and be ordered the poat- master to invite the culored as well as tue white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. it is inevitable that the wickea spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, ua salaries. Colorea appucants are often passed over thougu their ex- amination was superior. No Negro, nowever efficient or old in the serv- ice, must ever dream of a promotion (oa directive position. ‘The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over nim, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy im the handling of mail. The col- ored 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 tor nothing else than the color of cheir skin, 4Bpecial to The Gasette.) Washington, D, C.—The govern- ment printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme o1 segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferier positions there on ac- count of the better and more lucra- five avenues of employment being closed to them because of their coi- or, The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equal- ing our giris in educational equtp- ment, culture, and working efficten- cy. Yet these superior girls are set om from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, saluries and recreational facilities. ' There {s a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are @ few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees, Lam glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize ‘the place, preterring a little physical incon- venience to the open, semi-public hu- miliation of segregation. In tollet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation Js in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and io the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the inferior whites pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher sal- aries. The whites have a large recrea- tional center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. Durng 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 exclusion ‘of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was ab- ruptly stopped, and the young map reported for ‘attempting to take part in an entertainment provided tor employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being “one of those smart Negroes” who believe In “social equality,” and thed dismiss- ed on a trumped-up charge. he was a night-employec, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance in- cident a fire broke out in the office. fle was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor.

I is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the goverament is So well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to ft. tBeecial to Se claeetn), Washington, D. C.—Segregation | in the bureau of engraving and’ printing has an interesting higtory involving President Thomas Wood- row Wilson and members of his fam- ily, three heroic young colored wom- en’ who lost their positions as a re- sult of their protest, and the noble wite of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem- ber of his famfly visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. ' Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been not- ed tor 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 col- pred people to stay in thelr places.” Three of the young ladles resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette todged a pro- test with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic in- novation. She took the platform sere in Washington and Boston be fore the famous Twentteth Century iud. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither pace nor vigor of utterance. She hundered against tt in our loca! white press, and addressed the na- tonal gathering of the National As- sociation for the Advancement ot solored People in New York. When gur people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Os- wald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Na- tion Association secured publicity in over six hundred Influential white vapers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, name- ly, the elimination of the ‘colored employees from the bureau alto- gether. ‘The same segregation which some ot our people think 1s the cherished institution of the Democratle party fs stil there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraliam Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are em- ployed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the pub- lic service. THEY ARE SEGRE’ GATED in thelr rest rooms, toilets. and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promo- Hons to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes. most of them with high axt 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, the fnevitable result of se- grogation. Our people are still hop- Ing for the issuance of an order de- stroying this iniquitous practice tn all of our government departments, for {t not only humiliates the best of the government servants but im- pairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) ‘Washington, DD. C.—-Fne treasury department, according to the Presi- dent's recent acceptance speech, 1s now under the ablest financial gentus since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It Is to be remembered that the great Hamflton came from the West In- dies, and in that long sweep of -his- tory that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lin- coln's cabinet, who, in a national ex- tromity such’ as. this country. has never known, devised the national ‘banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master finan ver, John Sherman. ‘These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the depar? ment of Internal revenue, Mr. Blair trom North Carolina, has not ap- polnted a colored clerk since his In- cumbency. While his predecessor. Mr. Dantel Roper, a Democrat trom Texas, appointed and promoted sev- eral of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necess!- tated, this Is by far the largest de- partment of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Ne- groes are s0 scarce there that they can't be noticed. ‘There ts the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the gov- ernment—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due: ability to £0 so far and no farther. The various torms of serregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along eolor lines, and special toflets, lock- er rooms, rest rooms, ete., set off for colored. The toflets for the colored are few in such a large structure Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconven- fence at times, and are forced to travel long distances whan they de- sire the use of them.

The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this “delightful retreat,” and the festive scone that their presence creates, It seats two thousand din- ers 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 registership of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield ap- pointed Blanch K. Bruce, 1s now filled by a white man, and the col- ored people are congregated in a sep- arate room which is publicly pro- claimed as “a colored division.” When it is discovered that Negro clerks are “working as white’ in other divisions, they are promptly transfered 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 dilemna, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept se- gregation 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 com- pels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen President Calvin Coolidge can stot every bit of this damnable segrega. tion, Just as he can condemn thai lawless organisation the Ku Ku Klan, COOLIDGE’S SEGREGATION Washington, D. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that In the ght against the segregation of our gov- ernment employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of jts 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 heen 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 in- crease segregation in the depart- ments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a lttle dur- Ing the campatgn, Investigation of Burcaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed be- low shows taat segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-Ameri- gan employees and the other with Navy Department — one segre- gated section of 18 of our employ- ees, ag well as a segregated lunch room.
