But your watch, a mechanism far more delicate—are you as careful to keep it in good condition? Twenty-four hours a day without interruption your watch must run. Meanwhile the oil evaporates and becomes gummy, tiny dirt particles sift in, even through the most tightly fitting case, and eventually the timekeeping performance of the watch is impaired. To give your watch a square deal, have it cleaned, oiled and adjusted at least once a year and avoid heavier repairs later. Experts in our Service Department will do this for you at moderate cost.

And yet we have seen a statement under this heading printed, sometimes without comment, in "Negro" weeklies. Those "good" white folks who want to hide the shame of Georgia for lynching an insane Negro, are cleverly broadcasting this "promise" to punish, for the sake of appearances. We are glad that at least some white folk in Georgia are sufficiently ashamed of the brutal deed to want to make the rest of the world think that Georgia is going to punish somebody for it. But Georgia is not going to punish anybody for this lynching. Georgia has punished nobody for about 500 lynchings. "Oh, but they are offering a reward of $500!" Well. If I had the money, I could serenely offer a reward of $500,000 for every one of these lynchers that Georgia will punish. It is easy to offer rewards that you know will never have to be paid. If Georgia really wanted to punish any body, it would not be necessary to offer any rewards, but only to send two or three even third-class detectives to Milledgville, who in a few days could have the name and address of every man of any consequence who invaded that insane asylum. Even some of those crazy people could tell who all of the mob were. Why do any of our newspapers "bite" at this camouflaging propaganda, enamoring at Atlanta? I do not mean that; they should not print it, but they should not print it without commenting on it in a way to show that they are not fooled,—and in a way not to fool others. But the average Afro-American will not be fooled. He knows how insincere is the dominating influence of the South. They are always raving in that section against the horrible crime of rape. And when a white man in North Carolina is convicted of raping a little innocent Afro-American working girl of 14 years, who he himself says fought him like a young tigress, the court gives him a six months sentence, and the lawyers are trying to get that suspended! It's a He about their being opposed to rape. They are opposed to equality, even legal, political and industrial equality for black people. For every case of alleged or actual rape by a black man against a white woman, in the South, there are 25 cases o. actual rape of our women by white brutes. And the hypocrites know it—and they know that not one time out of a thousand will any white man there be punished for either lynching a man or raping a woman or girl of color. It would not be unjust for our editors to tell these southern white gentlemens of the Inter-racial Committees and others; that he will publish no "promises" and other pretences about publishing lynchers, and will give no credit to any such alleged effort until something is actually done.

Walsh to attend the solemn high Mass at Holy Trinity church on a recent Sunday morning which inaugurated the work among our people of this city, for which purpose that church has been designated by Arch-bishop John T. McNicholas of the archdiocese of Cincinnati. Of the congregation more than 700 were "Negroes". Immediate results of this mission were seen, for after the regular services, which were attended by about 400 of our people, four persons asked that they be instructed in the Catholic faith. It was said that a score of our ministers were in the congregations that Sunday. AN APPEAL FOR CIVILIZATION (Editorial in "The State", Columbia, S. C.) Commenting on the recent barbarous action in union county, Mississippi, where a "Negro" was burned at the stake, the Weekly Times, a "Negro" newspaper published at Memphis, makes this appeal for protection and justice: "We do not confone crime. We want to see every criminal punished to the limit of the law, regardless of color; but we do want punishment meted out by law, the courts. We appeal to the best blood of the South for protection and justice. We appeal to the thousands of white ministers for condemnation of such acts. We appeal to the governor and all officers of the law for punishment of the guilty. We appeal to every agency for making sentiment, that the ends of justice may be served, and that right quickly. "This act does not and can not meet the approval of all the white people of Mississippi. There is pity, there is shame and there is passive condemnation; but these will not remedy the condition. There must be an active program to the end that such deeds may not occur again, not only in the state of Mississippi, but in the bounds of this great nation." That appeal must be heard and heeded. What is at stake here is not the lives of the few persons who may be annually done to death by mobs in savage frenzy, but the character of the people; the reputation of a section whose governors claim civilization and capacity for orderly government. Acts like that in Union County, Mississippi, bring shame and degradation upon the whole South. If they are to cease, public opinion in the South must everywhere cease to be passive. Press and pulp must perform their parts, actively and vigorously. As they do, there is shame and there is passive condemnation, but these will not remedy the conditions". Only the fear of punishment impresses the barbarous, and punishment of lynchers is only possible where public opinion holds those charged with the operation of the machinery of the law responsible for its proper execution. When a human being is burned at the stake and the criminals escape punishment, the county and state in which the crime occurs are blackened in reputation, but they are not the only sufferers. It is a blow against the whole South. and the whole South should protect. And the time to effectively fortify states against the possibility of such oceans is now in Union County, Mississippi is now. It can not be said in any state. "We are hoiler than thou", until so strong a sentiment for law is known to exist there that we can have faith in its dominating influence. Actually, the appeal quoted above is not in behalf of "Negroes" but of the governing whites of the South. There's the degradation and shame.

ANOTHER FINANCIAL BUBBLE BURST. Washington, D. C. — A bill calling upon Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Prof John R. Hawkins and Dr. A. M Curtis, officers of the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation, for an accounting of all receipts and expenditures of the corporation since its existence, was filed in the district supreme court, last week, by Atty J. Franklin Wilson, representing stockholders in the corporation who allege that they received no authentic information as to the dissolution of the corporation which is alleged to have taken place by the stockholders January 31, 1925. The plaintiff of record is George F. Hatton. 1144 19th St. N. W. Student Nurse Admitted? Bay City, Mich.—Action by Oscar Baker, of the local N. A. A. C.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS PREJUDICED WADE ALLOTMENT RESIDENTS! VOTE TAX TO PROMOTE ILLEGAL RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION Their Committee Tells of Its Flat "Turn-Down" by Community Fund Officials—The Old Folks' and Phyllis Wheatley Homes and the "Negro" Welfare Association Are Our "Fund Charities." WILLS VS. JOHNSON Dempsey Claims He and Harry Promised Not to Engage Any Foe Before the Prospective Title Bout. According to the local daily press prejudiced Wade allotment residents are still struggling to do something anything they can, not only to bar our people from purchasing in that district, but also to bar others they may deem "undesirable" as neighbor, etc. Years ago, those in control of the Wade allotment refused to sell property there to Jewish persons, but they finally succeeded in getting homes there just the same and yet some of them are nbw doing all in their power to assist this latest movement to bar our people, and especially to prevent Dr. Chas. H. Garvin from occupying the house he is building in the allotment! Indeed, one of the Wade allotment committee that conferred with our committee of a like number, several weeks ago, was a Jew by the name of Koblitz and there were others of this group who signed the bills calling for the lot mass meeting, of prejudiced residents of that district. We call the attention, particularly, of our local contemporaries, The Jewish Independent and The Jewish Daily World, to the foregoing because they cannot help but know the feeling against selling members of their group homes in the Heights, yes in the Wade allotment even the some of them have succeeded in getting homes there. It was announced, Tuesday, that a committee of ten Wade allotment residents, headed by Atty, "Billy" Boyd, were collecting money from residents to fight any attempt of our people to buy a home-site within the district. The Wade allotment extends from E. 105th St. to E. 117th St., north and east of Wade park. Fix Levies by Valuations. It is planned to use the money—one-half of 1 per cent of the value of all property in the allotment—to buy up lots that, might be purchased by our people and other undesirables. We will be fixed on the tax figures in County Auditor Zangrelle's office. The amount paid by each property owner will be approximately one-fourth their annual tax. This move was decided on at a meeting (the second) of about 150 residents of the district in the basement of Woodward Masonic temple, 1945 E. 105th St. Sunday afternoon. It was also decided to: was also decided. Restrict the sale of property to people of the "Caucasian" race. (This, contrary to a decision of the U. S. Supreme Court.) Place the sale of homes and lots in the hands of an executive committee, who will investigate the history and connections of the potential buyer. In the meantime, residents were asked to take down their "For Sale" signs until the executive committee "have time to look into the various propositions." New, York City — Articles for a twelve-round no-decision fight on Monday, Oct. 26, at the armory, Newark, N. J., between Harry Wills, heavyweight challenger, and Floyd Johnson (white) of Iowa, were signed, Tuesday afternoon. This was announced by Willis', manager, Paddy Mullins. Babe Culnan of the National Sportsmen's Club of Newark, N. J., who will promote the contest, confirmed the announcement. He said the bout would mark the final appearance of Willis in the ring prior to his anticipated championship match with Jack Dempsey, next summer. Mrs. R. C. Bruce, Editor, Boston, Mass. — Mrs. Clara B. Bruce, wife of Roscoe Conkling Bruce, has been elected chairman of the board of undergraduate editors of the Boston University Law Re- IN UNION & SINCE 1870 MONG WADE RENT RESIDENTS! ATE ILLEGAL RESIDENTIAL EGATION of Its Flat "Turn-Down" by specials—The Old Folks' and homes and the "Negro" Association Are Our Charities." Turned Down Flat By Community Fund Officials. The meeting was quiet and orderly except for a few brief moments following the report of the committee of five who had been appointed to meet with directors of the Community Fund. This committee reported that no headway had been made in an effort to have the Community Fund withdraw its support from our charities (3) if Dr. C. H. Garvin, builder of a house at 11114 Wade Park Ave., does not agree to sell his property at a reasonable figure." (Which he will not do.) "The directors," the committee reported, "refused to consider the proposition unless we put it in writing. We couldn't do this because it might cause embarrassment to all concerned." Advocates Withdrawal of Support. Even then, the Community Fund officials would not have dared to make such fools of themselves. There was a shuffling of feet in the rear of the room. A broad-shouldered man rose and hotly declared that he was "ashamed of the cowardly actions of the committee. They should have declared that every person in the allotment would have withdrawn support from the Community Fund if that body refused to support them in their efforts to oust the colored resident," he continued. Some one might have added that the Fund would not-lose much if they did. Boyd Explains Circumstances. "Billy" Boyd, acting as chairman of the meeting, curtly interrupted at this point. "I don't believe you understand the true situation," he said. "There are 40,000 colored people in the city and they pay more into the Community Fund than they receive for recognized charities. It would prove embarrassing to the fund to take sides and cause the colored people to withdraw their support." "Then; I say, we're in a pretty way," the man in the rear declared. "If the fund people are afraid to act then the judges, before whom we bring action, may also be influenced by the colored people's vote." Not All Harmonious. A few women to the side clapped their hands. Boyd overlooked the intrusion and called for a vote on the various propositions; calling for the collection of money from all "white" residents, the forming of a permanent organo- and the ex-clusion of Negroes. There was one dissenting vote. It came with a reverberant "No" from a disgusted resident in the rear. W. I. Lewis, 1677 E., 115th St., drew up the several resolutions which came before the meeting. He is one of the ten members of the executive committee. The others are Boyd, C. B. Hine, C. W. Collister, M. L. McBride, H. C. Osborn, F. L. Parks, C. A. Nicola, C. G. Wade and Fred Desberg. Is Desberg a Jew? JOHNSON Harry Promised Not to fore the Prospective Bout. Los Angeles, Cal.—Announcement, late Tuesday, from New York, that Harry Wills had signed to meet Floyd Johnson in a no-decision bout, Oct. 26; came as a surprise to Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champ, who has agreed to meet Wills, next September, for the title. Dempsey is alleged to have said, Tuesday afternoon, that the articles of agreement between himself, Wills and Floyd Fitzsimmons, promoter of next September's meeting, contained a clause that neither fighter was to meet any person in the ring prior to that time without the consent of the other principal in the 1926 bout and the approval of Promoter Fitzsimmons. view. The board consists of the ranking students in the senior and junior classes, eighteen in number. Mrs. Bruce is the first woman of any race to be elected chairman of the board of editors. --- DO YOU LIKE TO DANCE, MISS GEEVUM? DO I?--SAY! DOES A MOSQUITO LIKE TO BITE?!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1925. The Afro-American candidates for the city council in the third district, this time, are Harry Harper, Dr. E. J. Gregg and Councilman Tom Fleming. In the fourth district, Atty. Clayborne George. The local members of the ku klux klan say all four must be defeated, that Dr. Chas. Garvin must not live in the house he is building in Wade Park Ave., and that Dr. E. A. Bailey and Howard Murrell must move. What do YOU say about it? Are you with the kluxers? THE CURSE OF THE CORN BORER. There was a sound of revelry by night and there had gathered there brave men and true corn borer guards. The occasion we are told was a meeting of entomologists, agronomists and farmers from as far west as the stock yards of Kansas City. The meeting was somewhere near Toledo and, of course, was under the auspices of our frisky department of agriculture. The subject again, of course, was the terrible and venomous corn borer. It was solemnly resolved by the agronomists, expeditionologists, phrenologists, caterwau尔ologists, papsuckelerologists and political farmers as assembled that the dread corn borer was, once blown across Lake Erie and that he is now on a gaudy tour towards Indiana and the wild west. Why the corn borer should want to go to Indiana nobody explained.—Akron (O.) Beacon Journal. Indiana is the northern stronghold of the K. K. K. and "birds of a feather flock together". AILER'S LITTLE JOKE. Rev, C. C. Aller's dodger, which is being distributed thruout the third district, commending the candidacy for the council of the "Hon." Thomas W. Fleming, caused many a knowing smile which usually preceded the question as to what became of the insolvency court case, some months ago, against Aller. Listen to the latter's amusing little JOKE: "He (Fleming) has proven himself an impartial (?) representative of all the people, an upstanding, obedient (to "Boss" Maschke) public (?) servant. Fleming is the best representative of our group in the governing council of this city". Common Pleas Judge A. J. Pearson denied the application for an injunction made, Tuesday, by Atty. John L. Roundtree, representing Dr. Edward A. Bailey, physician, living at 2869 Huntington road, Shaker Heights. Dr. Bailey sought to prevent Shaker Heights police from searching him, members of his family and servants for concealed weapons every time they went in or out of the house. The injunction application was the outgrowth of Dr. Bailey's recent troubles, following his purchase, several months ago, of the Shaker Heights home. He said shots had been fired at his house, attempts were made to burn his garage and stones hurled at the windows. All this by the K. K. K. element. He claimed that when he applied for police protection, the police threw a guard around the house but started searching his people because his chauffeur had fired once at the disturbers. Judge Pearson, in denying the injunction, said Dr. Bailey had a right to live where he pleased and was entitled to police protection, but that a damage suit, not an injunction, was the proper procedure at law. This action will be taken at once, Dr. Bailey informs The Gazette. Good! "Hold the fort!" Doctor! Make them realize fully that this is Cleveland and not Atlanta. Georgia; Wilmington, N. C., or Houston, Texas. Those persons who are injuring your property and otherwise disturbing your family are a lawless lot of kluxers which the police of Shaker Heights either are unable to cope with or will not handle properly. There- fore, it is up to you to protect your family and your home, your castle, and the law will back you up in whatever you do in order to do so. It must do so and our people of this community intend to see to it that it does do so. Like Dr. C. H. Garvin, a World War veteran who fought abroad for a democracy some people in the Wade Allotment and Shaker Heights do not seem to know or care anything about, you are a professional man whose character is the *best* and whose standard of intelligence is far better than that of most of those in both sections who are objecting to you and Dr. Garvin, as neighbors. Their very reprehensible conduct, thus far, in this matter proves this. Then, too, as Judge Pearson well says you have a right, which the U. S. Supreme Court has ratified, in recent years, to live where you please, within your means, of course. And that is what you are doing. So hold the fort and call upon our people and their good white friends of this community, and the entire country, whenever you need them. This applies, of course, to Dr. Charles H. Garvin, also. The sooner the kuhl klan element in the North finds out that it is not going to run things in this section, regardless of the law, this better for all concerned. The South has kicked that element out and it is high time this section was doing the same thing. HOLY TRINITY CHURCH Holy Trinity, one of the oldest Catholic churches in Cincinnati, was recently re-dedicated as a mission for our people of that city although there are a small number of families of descendants of the German pioneer families left in Holy Trinity parish, who will continue to worship there. And this is in Cincinnati! Holy Trinity parish has a first-class plant of church, school and rectory, the church being one of the largest in Cincinnati, and seating 1,150 people. The present edifice was (first) dedicated, January 1, 1854. In his letter to our people of that city, the archbishop of Cincinnati, the Rt. Rev. John T. McNicholas, wrote, among other things: "I wish to assure the colored people of the archdiocese of Cincinnati that the Catholic Church is their friend under all circumstances. * * * There would be far less misunderstanding, far less injustice, far less discrimination of the Catholic Church, were really known. It would be most gratifying if knowledge of and good will toward the Catholic Church should become general among the colored people, and thus wipe out all misunderstanding and prejudice. On the part of the church there certainly is no prejudice. Her attitude is one of sympathy and love. Her only desire is to be helpful. Against the race prejudice there is no prejudice against injustice to the colored people in the United States, the Catholic Church protests." Rev. Raymond Backus (white), was recently assigned to Holy Trinity church. Eventually the priest in charge will, of course, be a member of the race. There are several remarkable things in the foregoing that our readers will not be slow to see, we feel sure.

With over 500 children in Cleveland afflicted with tuberculosis and with only 60 beds where they may be taken care of, it is essential that the citizens of Cleveland get out and vote to pass the hospital bond issue for $626,000 which is submitted on the bond ballot.

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 under President Harding since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks, President Harding's, is underwent administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting white workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. it was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colorist of the Negro appeared after the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the regiment Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, 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 constant humiliation 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, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings, filling the man they reed, 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 ALE of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the office. An ALE has 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 and asked him to come oh, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks go 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, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy. The colored mail is the ordered 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, but there are a few tables for our women, a room occupied 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 status assures superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this restful retreat to the employees of that secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a nigh-employee, hence he carried the blame. He was a victim of a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately disqualified. By the end of the year our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of ex-ployants of the names of my informants. I know the informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 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 complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) **Special To The Gazette)** Washington, D. C.-Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing 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 present, 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 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 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 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 discured aged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, or to desert us at the crises. Oswald Garrison Villa at the University 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 a1t together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the publique. We ARE SECURED IN their rest rooms, 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, the inevitable result of sequestration, 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 Glazette) 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 Alexandra Hamilton. It is under the guidance that the government Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, the war the largest department of the treasury has several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarse there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farer. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilets, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence the segregated clerks are free to perform the physical inconvenience at times, 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 this "delightful retreat" and the process creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spars; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing that the 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 brought to public attention by an announcement 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 Burcaus 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. RACE PREJUDICEI "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells.

(Following are the state leaders as they finished); PREJUDICE Prejudice is a pernicious product of a deficient information in combination with excessive illogic. It judges and condemns in advance of facts and prostitutes principle to passion. It consciously incriminates others and unconsciously inculpates one self and thus wields the double edged weapon of a two-fold curse. It sows animosity and antagonism where patriotism and pliey require amity and co-operation. If you are a good Christian, Jew, or American, you must supplant prejudice with justice, first in your thought and then in others. Judge no group by one of individuals or individual by one before you are properly informed. If you find a man really not as he ought to be don't straightway damn him and all of his color, country, or creed. Rather be sufficient of a Adelstein Bro's. aid him with your example and in- influence to become what he should. To be prejudiced is to be primitive MURINE FOR YOUR EYES Murine Co., Dpt. H.S., 9E.
