White Plains, N. Y. — Alice Jones Rhinelander, quadron bride of Leonard Kip Rhinelander, underwent a "color examination" in Justice Morschaer's chamber with the jury present, Monday, at the trial of Kip's marriage annulment suit. Young Rhinelander and counsel for both were also present. Alice then broken and beaten, and an anteroom in the arms of her father. Court attendants were forced to use their fists to keep a morbid and sensation-baited crowd, besieging the courtroom, from breaking down the doors. Alice's collapse came after she had been subjected to an ordeal such as no other woman has been called upon to undergo in a court in this country. It was carried out by Parous Davis, her counsel, after sensational crises, amination of young Rhinelander regarding two "mystery letters" sent his bride before their marriage, containing unprintable passages. Alice entered the courtroom in tears. After the examination she appeared, weeping hysterically and her collapse followed. After Rhinelander resumed the stand, he was asked by Davis: "You have just seen the upper part of the body of your wife?" "Yes." "Is it the same color as when you saw it in the Marie Antoinette?" "Yes." "Are you going to read those letters?" Judge Mills, Kip's attorney, demanded of Mr. Davis. "I indeed I am," the defense attorney replied. "I want to warn every woman in the courtroom that she now has a chance to leave," said Justice Morschauer. A score of women arose and withdrew from the courtroom. At least fifty others remained. "I'm glad to see so many decent women responding," commented Justice Morschauer. Mrs. Alice Beatrice Jones Rhinelander, the defendant, sat at her counsel's table, dressed in a pansy-colored dress. Her mother and father sat near her. Justice Morschauer read the "mystery letters" first. Reading the first one he peered among the spectators. The women in the court shifted uneasily. "Everybody in the shape of a woman, who has no business here, will leave the room," the court ordered sharply. There was a slow shuffling of feet and shifting of chairs as the fair sex reluctantly filed out. During the reading of the letters Alice, her mother and father, also went out of the courtroom. Rhinelander sat on the witness chair like a man of stone. As the pungent sentences were revealed his veins stood out in his hair as he kept his eyes fixed on the floor. He appeared under considerable emotional distress. Davis harpooned Rhinelander with question. He forced the witness to declare that Alice had never written letters to him containing such language. Both letters were written from the Clifft店 in San Francisco in 1322. Parts of his spoke of Leonard's love relations with Alice and of the time they spent at the Marie Antoinette. A suit for allenation affections probably will be brought by Mrs. Rhinelander at the conclusion of the course. It is brought by her husband for annulment of their marriage. It is said that at one time the case could have been settled for $100,000, but that now a much larger sum would be asked. Mrs. Rhinelander and her counsel feel confident that they will win the present, case, and believe testimony in the present hearing would bolster a charge of alienation. Mrs. Barbara Reynolds, of New Riverville, a correspondent for a suburban house, the first woman called by the defense. "Did you see Rhinelander on last Nov. 13?" Davis asked. "Yes," the witness answered, "I saw him outside the Jones home and I asked him if it was true he was married to a colored girl. He said: 'Yes, I am.' Then I asked him: 'Do your people know about it?' Rhinelander said his mother was dead and that he didn't want his father to know of it." Other defense witnesses followed.

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle (Nov. 19, '25) Editorially Calls Attention to Perry Howard's Threats and Coercion—Calls on the De- partment of Justice to Abate Obvious Imperpri- ties of Perry's Activities — His Anti- Lynching B111 Record. Washington, D. C.—With the memory of war and after-war arrests and prosecutions of men and women for alleged "communism", "syndicalism" or other opinion disagreement with the powers that be, it was a pretty serious thing to threaten our porters on Pullman cars with dire consequences if they persisted in organizing to improve their condition and to accuse them of being suicidated by Moscow. Humorists might have rouge et noir game, but the idea was no joke to the men concerned, especially if the man who warned them was an agent of the Department of Justice in Washington and one of their own race. Perry W. Howard is Republican National Committee man from Mississippi. He has almost, of course, a Government job, assisted by the attorney general, is the man quoted as offering the warning which was a virtual threat. He was formerly a Pullman porter himself, and it is said he has publicly admitted that he is still employed by the Pullman Company. Naturally President Coolidge's Department of Justice had to explain itself. Was it or was it not the ally of the Pullman Company? The Pullman union which was and is fully proved by President Green and the American Federation of Labor? The explanation came. Howard works "on assignment" for the department. He had not been assigned to this work. He had asked for leave of absence. His own conditions of his employment permitted him to the crime would have his own hook. No crime would have been committed, it was intimated, if he had taken from the Pullman Company. Finally, however, crime or no crime, the impropriety is so obvious that the department will have to do something more strenuous about it than the construction of apologies, if public sentiment is to be satisfied of its good faith. Coercion of labor unions of the company of employers holding federal office is capable of any defense, certainly of none that has any relation to practical politics in America. Perry Also Fought The Dyer-Anti- Lunching Bill. Baltimore, Md.—A letter publish- in the Baltimore Afro-American (No. 10) magazine. "Let no one feel excited because Perry Howard now allows the Pullman Company to hire him to fight the porters. He even allowed the political bosses, on whom his political job depended, to influence him to fight against an anti-lynching law. In effect he stood with the lynchers, and in fact, he has helped indirectly to lynch every Negro that has been lynched since the anti-lynching bill was not allowed to become a law. The Pullman porters ought to feel happy and honored to enjoy the opposition of this inveterate hirling. He accuses those who are organizing the porters wanting to get dues and "fees" and the brazen man has the nerve to acknowledge in the same article that he himself is accepting fees and pay from the Pullman Company, for the special purpose of fighting the organization of the porters. How is it right and honorable to be hired to defend the Pullman company and yet wrong and dishonorable to be hired to defend the Pullman porters? The only difference that the porters cannot pay as big a fee as the company. If the porters could outbid the Pullman Company they might secure the eminent services of Perry Howard, notorious co-worker with lynchers of Negroes." WILLS-DEMPSEY FIGHT Objectionable to Indiana's Kluxer Officials—They Are Quoting the NEW AUGUST 11. ALREADY. Indiana law—and—The foundation for placing legal agencies in the path of the proposed Dempsey path. Wills fight in Indiana, probably at Michigan City, next summer, was laid, last week, when Attorney-General Arthur L. Gillium of Indiana gave Gov. Ed Jackson an opinion on the legality of the fight which virtually prohibits the meeting of Dempsey and his challenger. "It is possible," Gillium's opinion said, "that these men might without violating the law, meet for the single purpose of exhibiting their skill as boxers, excluding from their purpose the exchange of blows which superiority between them in their chosen and well-known profession. If this is the intention, there is no intended violation of the law." Otherwise he held that such a meeting would violate the spirit of the Indiana law. A distinction between "boxing exhibition" and "prize fight" is outlined in the Indiana law, which forbids the latter. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS HOLDS COURT-ROOM SPELL-BOUND PUBLIC OPINION CHANGED BY HIM AND HIS WITNESSES. The Sweets and Their Co-Defendants the Victims of Race Persecution—Dr. Turner's Mistreatment —Tried to Burn the Sweet Garage— Lieberman's Testimony. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 20.—As the trial of Dr. O. H. Sweet and the ten others drew toward its close, last week, Dr. Sweet was called to the stand to testify and, in a masterful address to the court, held spectators and jury spellbound by his recital of the persecution inflicted upon the ten defendants, and defending themselves and their homes from mob-attacks. Public opinion has swung from bitter hostility to sympathy for the defendants and there is hope of a favorable outcome of the trial in this court. At the end of the third week of the trial the case is about ready to go to the jury. Under continued questioning by Attorney Darrow and Hays, witnesses of the significant address, telling his story with simplicity that held the courtroom hostility. His story of threats and intimidation and the attack on the house, in the eleven defendants were penned, was most dramatic. Through adroit questioning, Messrs. Darrow and Hays brought out through Dr. Sweet the story of race riots in Arkansas and Chicago and Washington and the South and of police brutality. This line of reasoning demonstrated the psychological background of the Afro-American which actuates self-defense when attacked by mob. Full and fair reports by local newspapers have swung public opinion, which at first was, very hostile, so completely the outlook is now very hopeful. That the will probably go to the jury Tuesday or Wednesday, Dr. Sweet's recital made a demand not only upon the spectators in the room, but upon the newspaper reporters as well. The reporter for the Detroit Free Press wrote: "Well educated and an acute student of the race problem, Dr. Sweet under the adroit prompting of Attorney Hays, gave a graphic account of the disturbances ranging geographically from Washington to Chicago, and going back to the days when the disturbances were held by the Chicago Police holding the jury and spectators of the crime and immovable by his vivid picturing of morbid details, and the fear that gripped him as the result of the he read. Speaking clearly and within bounds for a word or phrase, he told me that an Afro-American carried through the streets of Washington in an automobile and badly beaten by a group of white men. He told of reading in a magazine how a number of Afro-Americans were evicted from their homes, where he was born, of how others were beaten with bullets—of how his people had long suffered without chance of redress as a result of racial intolerance." A number of witnesses of both races testified, last week, to the large crowd in the mob about Dr. Sweet's home the night of its bombardment with stones, etc., breaking window and door-glass, and otherwise harming. Taking their testimony and that of the doctor, who was on the stand, several lays, occupied most of the week. Preacher Toms certainly "worked on" the doctor but didn't "get anywhere". He did, however, succeed in showing that the local police force is K. K. and almost to a man in sympathy with the mob that stormed the Sweet home. Max Lieberman, a furniture dealer, living at 5232 Second bld. testified that on the morning of Sweet bought from his house furniture valued at $11,135. An itemized bill was presented by the defense as evidence also a canceled check for $300 which had been paid as the first installment on the goods. Mr. Lieberman testified that the furniture was to be delivered on the following day, with the exception of one suite which had to be ordered and was to be delivered on arrival. Another of the defense's witnesses was Dr. Edward A. Carter who had the following to say he mistreatment, last June, of Dr. Alex, former resident of Ravenna, O., and a physician of a leading physician and pharmacist of this city: "Dr. Turner told of buying a home on Spokane Ave. The day he moved in, he said, a crowd began to assemble.

Two men called at the house in the afternoon, representing themselves as from the mayor's office. When they were admitted a crowd rushed in. In the middle of the room some kind of a document and his furniture was moved out on the street. He was forced to leave." The defense advanced, last week, along three specific lines: First, that of self-defense; second, that the defendants were in an agitated state of mind, superinduced by fear; and third, that the bullet which killed the police officer by a raid on the outside. An attempt to burn down the garage behind Dr. Ossian H. Sweet's home, at 2905 Garland Ave., was made last week Wednesday. One of the policemen on guard there, since the disturbance, observed smoke coming from the windows of the garage. As he ran to investigate, "two men flee. He fired several shots, and soaked rags had been thrown into the garage through the windows. The flames were extinguished before any damage had been done. SOUTH AFRICA A Fruitful Field for Missionary Effort and "Y" Work, Says An A. M. E. Bishop—Max Yergan's Success. New York City.—Great opportunity for missionary effort is to be found among the tribes of South Africa, who "hunger for the gospel," according to Bishop W. T. Vernon, of the A. M. E. Church who served there from 1922 to 1924 and was impressed with the great productivity of the country, which "has a desirable mate, and is capable of supporting missionary people." Its mineral wealth alone, he said, would be sufficient to make it a leader along economic and industrial lines. "Almost simultaneously with the coming of Columbus to America, Diaz went to South Africa and discovered this land of promise," said Dr. Vernon in an interview. "Thereafter people went from Europe and found that asylum from the burdens that afflicted them. These people—Dutch, English and some French Huguenots—grouped themselves together in what is known as the European population, which really means white population. They number now possibly one and a half millions, and people of mixed bloods and the East Indians who were indented to work the farms of South Africa, years ago, make another 600,000. They field that furnishes the most wonderful jobs for missionary enterprises and Y. M. C. A. work, is among the tribal people—the Basuto, Zulu, Amaxoxa and the rest. A few thousands of these have had contact with civilization and, as a result, are up to the average standard of some civilized groups, but millions of others are in abject heathenism." It is to these latter particularly, according to Dr. Vernon, that Christian enterprise must be directed. Great cities, such as Capetown, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein, and Burin, have a very definite civilization, quite as progressive as that of various European states. But, unfortunately, up to the present time they have not furnished sufficient oppo- rents for the education of native groups. And Christianity and education are needed in any of these groups from a liability a very definite asset." Bishop Vernon mentioned particularly the work of Max Yergan, sent to South Africa by Afro-American "Y's," who is organizing the natives into Y. M. C. A groups and training some of the young men as "Y" leaders, to be made "uplifting forces for the native people of South Africa." This type of Christian activity, he believes, if carried on will "establish thoroughly in South Africa a movement for righteousness and human uplift that will fructify into a generous harvest." Mrs. A. A. G. Grist, of Cedar Ave., has been appointed a social worker for the Associated Charities. Having made himself as a substitute teacher in the record of public schools, she was highly recommended by the board of education. She was presented with a scholarship and is taking a special course in training at Case School of Applied Science. --- Sh gin o---s cs aS ITS NOT SOBAD,SIS. INFACT oa smmunsrens eve LW fem 21] pn ag.

The case would have been won if Mr. Mathews had re- mained in Boston, and this is not said in disparagement of his splen- did ability, legal and otherwise. —al— WE MUST FIGHT IF WE WOULD @URVIVE. Possibly the most importanc court case the Negro has ever figured in in all the history of the United States 4s being heard out in Detroit, Mich., where Dr. Ossian Sweet, his wife and nine other defendants are on trial for their lives, because they dared to protect themselves and their property against mob violence. To get a true picture of what is 50- ing on, turn the matter around and imagine that a mob of Negroes has resented a white family’s moving into s colored neighborhood; and, In defending themselves, the besies- ed white family had shot and killed a colored man. What grand fury in the United States would indict, the white family for murder in the first degree? What police officer would take the stand and testify that they were not acting within their rights in protecting themselves? Why, then, should Negroes be charged with mur- der who dare to defend themselves and their property? ‘Tho outcome ‘of the Sweet case means everything that is dear to the Negro in America, If a colored man is not secure in his own home, in s northern community, where there is a semblance of civilization, where under Heaven in the United States is he secure? Dr. Sweet's battle in Detroit is our battle; just as much a0 as if we had been in the besieged dwelling. He and the other brave defendants could easily have avoid- ed the many discomforts they mus bear as prisoners charged with mur- der by not moving into the house atter he purchased it. He could have gold it, possibly at a higher fig ure than he paid for it. But, thank God, Dr. Sweet moves in! ‘Thank God that ‘his noble wife moved in with him> And, thank God, nine of their relatives and friends came in with them! Wisdom dictated that they should not go is empty handed. They determined tc fight fire with fre, axfd, according tc reports, had ten separate firearms is the ‘house. “Not one of them knew whether he would come out of thai house alive, once he went in, but fear of death did not deter them. ‘This is the spirit of unity the Ne- gro must more and more evidence if he is to survive, He aust face death if he would live!

Among the epitaphs (Note some of the titles: “For a Pessimist”; “For a Mouthy Woman”; “For One ‘Who Gaily Sowed His Oats"), we have neat quatrains written in a lan- guage applicable to all races. Here is one to her who holds the old, un- questioning faith: For My Grandmother. ‘This lovely flower fell to seed; Work gently sun and rain; She held it as her dying creed ‘That she would grow again. Many of the poems of “Color” are, to use the author's own phrase, “ex- pressions which will etch the truths of our race more distinctly than simpler propaganda can.” Take, for instance, this poem: For a Lady I Know. She even thinks that up in heaven Her race lies late and snores, While poor black cherubs rise at seven To do celestial chores, And his poem: Harsh World ‘That Lashest Me. Harsh World that lashest me each day, Dub me not cowardly because T seem to find no sudden way To throttle you or clip your claws. No force compels me to the wound ‘Whereot my body bears the scar; Although my feet are on the ground, Doubt not my eyes are on a star. You cannot keep me captive, World, Entrammeled, chained, spit on. and spurned. More free than all your flags un- turled, I give my body to be burned I mount my cross because I will, T drink ‘the hemlock “which “you give For wine which you withhold—and still, Because I will not die, I live. E live because an ember in ‘Me smoulders to regain its fire, Because what is and what has been ‘Not yet have conquered my desire, I live to prove the groping clod Is surely more than simple dust; I live to see the breath of God Beatify the carnal crust But when I will, World, I can go, ‘Though triple bronze should wal me round, Slip past your guard as swift at snow, Translated without pain or sound Within myself is lodged the key To that vast room of couches Iai For those too proud to live and se ‘Their dreams of light eclipsed 1 shade. ‘The poem, called “Heritage”, ha the most magical description of th African forest that I have ever read and Africa never called more loudl: to Countee Cullen than it did to me when as a child I travelled throug it with Livingstone and Stanley. Africa? A book one thumbs Listlessly till slumber comes. Unremembered are her bats Cireling through the night, her cat Crouching in the river reeds, Stalking gentle flesh that feeds By the river brink; no more Does the bugle-throated roar Cry that monarch claws have leapt From the scabbard where they slep' Silver snakes that once a year Doff the lovely coats you wear, Seek no covert in you fear Lest a mortal eye should see; What's your nakedness to me?

How Our Men And Women Are Insulted And Humiliated In the Government's Departments—Will the Self and Race-Respecting Negro Press of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Test. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and degree 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 diograph which must accompany their papers, is tenacious; held on to by our Republican president. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the 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 President Coolidge. They halls from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregated Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy 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 their jobs, for the trouble though they were lepers. The injustice stings 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, com for t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and the rest is maintained 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 presence 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 the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over through 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 white over him one after another, though many of the employed employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. — the government printing office keeps with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to account for 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 in an aisle of the warehouse of our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation passes over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the need for the employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a light-on-employee. He was a light-on-employee. 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 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 each he was immediately discharged. The untrained 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 narish 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 exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these people would suffer, but never given a single chance! The parment then taking the position 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 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, J. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1925. is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness (Special to The Jazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and a 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 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 the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and wove summarily dismised! 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 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. Osama bin Laden came and attacked 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 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 public service. THEY ARE SPGREET, the teachers, the teachers, the teachers, and working stations, and none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, 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 best of our girls must take these inferior positions. Our people are still honoring 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 magazine) Washington. D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the abstent financial genius since the days of Alexander the Great, the reminiscent of the great Hamillite 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, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, an important employer. Yet Negroes are so scarce 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 far further. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toiletries, 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 forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to 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 festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregant or elimination and with it opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION Washington, D.C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, beaver board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The wives, annurating the union 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 Burcans 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. Subscribe Now IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are favor of submitting to discrimination, on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1000 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 sexual abuse they are by nature without self-esteem and have no 'guts'." The world respects 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.)

It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. A person of this chapter, upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lyrching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279.

(93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with justice, any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (92 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person as lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed to the widow, if recorded on the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v. 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching. in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to com- been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: UBS. ed. f. representative of victim of lynching injury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. nst member of mob. nst another county. mit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching for prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therain. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor of his employee, keeper or manager of an in-house restaurant, eating house, bar-shopping店, allurey by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both not less than fifty dollars, however violates the next preceding section, nor less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. 一 This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an action which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling the attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gilbert, Cleveland, O. My Dear Beacon, invigorating your letter in the Beacon-Journal this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. The Beacon-Journal had known when the Beacon-Journal had known town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant The Truth! What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. ulation!
