Willis, of 1520 E. 30th St., this city. She is a very promising young lady of whom her parents and many friends and acquaintances are justly proud. The outstanding feature of the commencement exercises of the Toledo Blade who spoke in "One Hundred Percent American" as well as other topics. He made it perfectly clear to the large audience that no one race or group in this country was "toting around" all the hundred percent Americanism, after he had defined it as meaning not only heart-interest in the welfare of the country but also in that of every citizen regardless of the race group to belong. This community, like many others in the North in recent years and like all in the South, needed just such a message at this time from so prominent a man. PUTS BARBERS OUT OF BUSINESS! Atlanta, Ga.—The many barber shops conducted by Afro-Americans for white patrons here have aroused the envy of white barbers to the extent that they have had an ordinance passed by the city council which would prohibit our men from serving white patrons. Should it be signed by the mayor, it will become effective, June I. One of the largest finest shops in Hartford, one of our wealthiest men in Atlanta, and it is thought that the new bill is aimed directly at his business. The bill also provides that no white man may serve Afro-American patrons. No work of this kind is being done here, anyway. Thousands More Will Leave. Atlanta, Ga.—Members of the race throughout the South realize what Gen. W. T. Sherman meant when he said, "If I owned Texas and hell, I'd rent Texas and live in hell!" They are refusing to put up longer with mob violence, "jim-crowism" and disfranchisement. They are three of men's flankeys.

McLaughlin, according to an announcement from headquarters. Six other officers, all white, who had been shelved by Enright, are listed to be restored at the same time. Human and Christian Brotherhood. Montreal, Canada—A dramatic and hitherto unpublished incident of the late Cardinal Mercier's visit to Montréal by "Le Devoir." During the reception at the city hall a vast crowd filed before the cardinal and kissed his hand. Near the end of the line came a Colored man, who also knelt. The cardinal singled him out for special honor, raising him from his knees and shaking his hand warmly, and smiled in regard. "It was," says "Le Devoir," the most magnificent testimony of human and Christian brotherhood." WENT TO "THE FRONT"! Atty. Alex. H. Martin. Atty. Charles W. Chesnutt. Hon. Harry E. Davis. Met the Chamber of Commerce Committee on Immigration. A mass meeting will be held, Feb. 21, at 8 p. m. in Moose hall, 1000 Walnut Ave., which is to be addressed by representatives of the Miners' Union. Persons wishing to help in the relief work for the striking miners are asked to communicate with J. A. Hamilton, 2226 E. 55th St. The Miners' Union in northern West Virginia includes a large number of workers, who were very active when the operators were observing the contract and are now equally as actively supporting the strike in an effort to maintain the union wage-scale and conditions. The Cleveland Workers' Conference for Miners' Relief has been organized by representatives of forty trade unions, fraternal societies and other workers' organizations of the Miners' Union, the Local Workers' Club, an educational organization of workers of both races. The conference is organizing an energetic campaign to secure relief funds for the coal miners now on strike not only in the anthracite region, but also in northern West Virginia. Failure of Mrs. Bessie Wilks, age 27, 2398 E. 38th St., to have dinner waiting upon her husband's return from work, police said, placed her in Charity hospital, last week Thursday, while police were looking for the husband, John. An argument, which resulted from the late dinner was directed by Mrs. Wilks, off the head with a milk bottle, fracturing the skull, the officer said. Mrs. Wilks' condition was reported as serious. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS BELIEVED TAKING STILLMAN'S CUE HARLEM SEES THEM SHOP IN THAT DISTRICT. Kip's Attorney Still Contesting Alice's Victory in the Courts—Lost His Marriage Annulment Suit Alice Said She Still Loved Him. New York City.—Settling of their differences by James A. Stillman, the millionaire banker, and Anne Urqhart Stillman was followed, Wednesday, according to generally credited reports, with Leonard Kip Rhinlander, seconde of the wealthy, old New York family, the American bride Alice Jones Rhinlander. The reports concerning the reconciliation of the Rhinlanders came from Harlem, where the heads of several of the smart shops in that section stated that the two had been together shopping during the past few days. Husband and wife were SELDOM FAIRLY TRIED Says Clarence Darrow and He Spoke the Truth to Members of Congress. Washington, D. C.—"The Negro seldom gets a fair trial anywhere in the United States." This statement by Clarence Darrow, famous criminal lawyer of Chicago, shocked the sub-committee of the House judiciary committee, last week Monday. This committee is holding hearings on the McLeod bill to abolish capital punishment in the District of Columbia. Under its provisions life imprisonment would be the severest penalty which any D. C. court could inflict. W. C. Hammer, (white), of North Carolina, objected to Darrow's blank indictment of American courts. Darrow admitted, North Carolina said "a little ahead" of the southern states in dealing out justice to our people accused of serious crimes. "I could excuse a mob that lynches quicker than I could courts that kill," continued Darrow. "Any attempt to prove the merits or demers of capital punishment by statistics would be a hopeless, useless job." Granted Carnegie Medals. Pittsburgh, Pa.-At a meeting of the Carnegie Hero Fund commission here, week before last, among the 25 acts of sacrifice recognized by the commission, those of two of our men associated with the Beach St. Fairmont, W Va., attempted to save a mother and daughter from drowning there, July 13, 1924. His widow will receive $60 a month, with $20 additional for four children, and a bronze medal. Edgar C. Broyles, Okalaona, Miss., died at age 10. His widow was attending at Kosciusko, Miss., July 17, 1924. His widow will receive benefits of $70 monthly, $10 additional for two children, and a bronze medal. Sold for $50,000. Philadelphia, Pa.—The beautiful residence of E. C. Brown, former banker, was sold, last week, to Mr. and Mrs. John L. Turnbull, 442 North 59th St. The property, located at 123 S. 41st St., is in the section known as the "Neck of the Bottle." It is one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the city, just two miles from the Penn Hotel. The purchase price is said to be in the neighborhood of $50,000. Mr. Turnbo is a contractor and a relative of Mrs. Annie Turnbo Malone of Poro College, St. Louis, Mo. A. Real "Uncle Tom". Exelseri Springs, Mo.—Dr. D. A. Elllet, one of our three owners of bath houses here, died, last week. His will revealed the fact that he left his entire estate to white people, which according to the local Liberty Tribune, amounts to more than $20,000. He was known to the town folk as a "fine old colored man." Of course! Affirms $10,000 Verdict. New Orleans, La.—The U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the U. S. District Court at Jackson, Miss., declaring the Buckeye Cotton Oil Co. a nuisance and awarding $10,000 damages to Mrs. Mary Ragland and her niece, Miss Mildred Rose. The suit was filed in 1923. The plaintiffs charged that the Buckeye Cotton Oil Co. conducted its mill in such a manner as to cause large amounts of dust and debris to fly from it on their home, directly in front of the mill. Doings "Down Home". Tampa, Fla. - Fifty white scoundrels set fire to the sales office of one of our sub-divisions at Washington Park, a northwestern suburb of Tampa, and drove off four special policemen there, recently.

Alice's mother is an English woman; her father a West Indian (Colored). One of her two sisters is married to an Afro-American and the other to an Italian-American. The two were manners of England. During course of her husband's suit for the annulment of their marriage, Alice testified that she still loved Kip in spite of her and her mother's harrowing experiences in the court room. Evidently, Kip still loves her. She is an attractive mulatto. OHIO PAPERS ADOPT NEW RACE RULES Toledo, O.—Three daily papers here have adopted the following rules concerning news about our people: 1—This paper does not want to play up the fact that any person figuring in the news is Colored, nor does it want to suppress the racial adjective in every case. The fact of color should not be stressed in the news but mentioned casually if at all. 2—The color is never to be used in a headline. 3—The term "colored" is to be used whenever possible in place of "Negro. "Negress" must NEVER be used. "Black" is prohibited. 4—Whenever "Negro" is used it must be capitalized. The word is seldom necessary, however, except where it is part of the name of an organization, such as "Negro Business Men's club" or something of the sort. ELEVEN ASSAULT 14-YEAR OLD GIRL! New York City—Atty. Allen Dingle, a member of the race, has been retained by the N. A. A. C. P. to be associated with the prosecution of eleven white brutes who kidnapped and for three days attacked a 14-year old girl of the race in the Bronx. She is in a hospital suffering from double-pneumonia as a consequence of her brutes followed her when she allied with subway train at Broadway and 231st St. and took her to a barn at Bailley Ave., where she was held against her will, without food, and assaulted.

Osburn, of St. Barnabus' Episcopal church, Altoona and Rev. Bennett the pastor. At Altoona, A. M. E. Zion church, this city, Mrs. S. Anderson, soprano, sang "The Sparrow" and the chair of Haynes St. church rendered several hymns. A delegation from the Logan House, Altoona, attended the services and taught with them a handsome floral pillar composed of roses and narcissus.

As the Germans would say, Clarence Darow certainly told subcommittee of the House judiciary committee "a mouthful" about court trials of our people in this country. Four years' fighting of two Masonic factions in Washington, D. C., has about resulted in the loss of their $200,000 Masonic temple which is about one-half completed. 'Twas ever thus. In spite of the long drawn out effort of prejudiced sport-writers of daily newspapers throughout the country it looks more and more as if that Wills - Dempsey contest will take place, this year. Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday-School Union; headquarters, Nashville, Tenn., is suing Bishop W. A. Fountain, head of the ninth district of the church, for $2,000, unpaid printing bills, and has made similar charges against Bishops Carey and Coppin. Mr. Bryant seems to be "the right man in the right place". Success to you, brother. In the King Pine mountain region of Kansas, recently, a woman of the race killed her white "sweetheart". This so angered the kluxers of that region that they scared out of it about twenty of our families, giving them twelve hours to leave. And still there are those who contend that the K. K. K. is not a lawless organization and a menace. It places itself above the law of the land when it wishes to and dares to do so. President Coolidge has the power to put the miserable organization out of business. Will he do so? NO! U. S. Senator Cole Blease's distribe on the World Court and Congressman Tom Heflin's, in the Congress, recently, were punctuated with insulting references to our people that did not elevate them in the estimation of the intelligent, cultured and broadminded persons (senators and others) who heard them. On the contrary, their outbursts could not but have lowered them, if such be possible. Even in 'South Carolina and Alabama from which states they come, respectively, there must be some who are heartily ashamed of them. Blease and Heflin are "backnumbers" even for southerners. THAT ALLEGED "CHAMBER" REPORT. Alexander H. Martin, Esq., one of the committee of three (Harry E. Davis, Charles W. Chesnut and Martin), which voluntarily met the local Chamber of Commerce committee on immigration, last week, informs The Gazette that the publication of last week, in a local contemporary, has not been adopted by the committee or its sub-committee which has the matter under consideration. The alleged report is undoubtedly the work of some southerner or southern sympathizing and prejudiced member of the sub-committee who would, if he could, bring about in this section of the country the adoption of the segregation and other color-line methods of the South. The alleged report in its entirety is what is advocated by the Ku Klux Klan throut the country and is not only outrageous but positively un-American. The two dominant features of the alleged report are: first, a recommendation that Ohio law be over-ridden in order to bring about separate schools for our people, and other segregation; an impossibility at this time. Second, that the Congress be asked to throw down the bars, now up against an indiscriminate immigration from foreign countries, in order that foreigners sufficient can be secured to replace the "Negro" laborers in the North. Fine (?) Americanism this!—favoring foreigners to replace na- ican industries here at home. No one could ever make us believe that the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Cleveland, Ohio, or its committee on immigration with George B. Harris as chairman, could ever adopt such un-American and positively outrageous recommendations as the kluxer-writer of that alleged report has ground out of his prejudiced-soaked brain. TWO OF OUR "BOYS". It was 29 years ago, Jan. 28, that the editor of The Gazette secured the appointment of Charles S. Smith and John Chaffin, both of this city, as members of the Cleveland police department, from Mayor Robert E. McNisson. Patrolman Smith was immediately assigned to duty as stenographer to the chief of police—the first this city ever had, and he has been doing clerical duty ever since, be it said to his credit. Charlie was elevated to the position of secretary to the director of public safety, retaining the secretaryship to the chief of police, by Mayor Fred Kohler, and has served very satisfactorily indeed, ave chiefs of police and two safety (city) directors. He has also served as secretary of the police pension board for a number of years. Patrolman Chaffin has been on the retired list, owing to poor health, for several years, but while on duty, especially while doing traffic duty, there was no more popular policeman in the city. Everybody seemed to know and like "Big John". There are a number of other members of the race nilling good positions in this community just as acceptably as Mr. Smith is and Mr. Chaffin did, in whose success we have more than a passing interest, a similar interest. IN THE NORTH, TOO! An Alabama newspaper tells of services held in the city of Gadsden to honor the memory of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Which item stirs this thought: What a city that northern cities don't regularly to honor these two great leaders of the southern Confederacy. The time will soon come when citizens in the north as well as in the south will realize that Americans, irrespective of section, can be proud that their country has produced a Lee and a Jackson. They are national heroes, not southern heroes only.—The Cleveland (O.) Press. Lee and Jackson and "other leaders of the southern Confederacy", were rebels, traitors to their country, and are a far cry from being heroes, southern or national. "The Press' astounds us! Additional Locals A jury, undoubtedly prejudiced, in Judge Thomas E. Green's court, recently, after 15 minutes deliberation, brought in a verdict of not guilty in the case of Shelby Farrow, of 4608 Central Ave., versus the Medina restaurant, W. Superior Ave., in a criminal discrimination case. The restaurant demanded that Farrow pay fifty cents for a baked apple. Atty Harold M. Gassaway announced that Farrow would file new action in "Muny" court, under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio civil rights law. The fourth annual dinner-meeting of the management of the Cedar Ave. branch of the Y. M. C. A., located at 7615 Cedar Ave., was held, last evening. Brief reports were made by club members and an address delivered by J. L. Hung on World Brothers College, Hang, a Vanderbilt University and a post-graduate of Columbia University, is a fellowship secretary from Shanghai, China, and until recently was president of the Chinese Ford Students' club of the Ford Motor Co. of Detroit. Mrs. Mary Ella Wright, 2828 Central Ave., appearing before Common Pleas Judge McMahon, last week Friday, in answer to an indictment charging manslaughter, sought to plead guilty to the charge, but the judge, noting she had no attorney, indicted alleged facts in the case. These, he found, included the element of self-defense, "I won't take a plea of guilt." he said after hearing her story, "Counsel will be appointed for your defense." His view of the case was seconded by Assist. Co. Prosecutor James Cannon, Connell. Wright, age 42, said he was attacked by Edward Smith, age 38, when she was unable to give him all the money he demanded, and shot him when he approached her with a knife. "A sin which on Central Ave. would be ferretted out goes untouched in the Heights. The sin of thinking lightly of sin will continue until the business man is prepared to forego gain for honesty, until the minister will lose his pulpit rather than be a minister. Charles L. DeHow, (white), pastor of First Methodist church. Noble Watkins Patterson served in the 802nd Pioneer Infantry, 92nd Division, American Expeditionary Forces. He was married in Gallipoli, O., in 1916, to a woman named Mary Johnson, who is said to have at one time lived in Cleveland and is now living at present. Information is wanted as to the present whereabouts of Mary Johnson, former wife of Noble Watkins Patterson, and such information should be sent at once to the office of this newspaper, The Gazette. THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. HOW WHITE WOMAN CAME NEAR BEING AN INDIAN. Kidnapped by Squaw When a Child, but Rescued by Mother After Exciting Chase. Omaha, Neb.—If Mrs. Josephine Carroll, of South Omaha, had become a little Indian papoose as she was slated to have been, one of Omaha's most enthusiastic charity workers and night school instructors would be missing today. Mrs. Carroll was once slated to be a papoose. A squaw so wished her when her parents were not looking. The squaw kidnapped the child a little more than half a century ago when Omaha was a buffalo pasture. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THAT BABY YOUVE LONGED FOR There was a rescue. But it never got into the papers. There were no papers to print thrilling adventures that occurred around the Missouri river bluffs in those days. The mother Mrs. John Godola, walked right out of the house, stopped the squaw and took the child away from her. If it were today, the movies would have a thriller on the screen about it. But that was before Edison or any one else had thought of making pictures walk and talk; also those were the days when experiences with the Indians were many and grotesque. A mere kidnapping did not attract much attention. Mrs. Carroll's mother lived at what is now Thirteenth and Farnum Sts. At that time it was neither Thirteenth nor Farnam. It was just a place in the hills, prairie and timber. The present Mrs. Carroll was about 3 years of age. Her mother employed a young Indian squaw as a domestic. All was fine, but the domestic didn't like to work. She liked to play with the baby, however. The baby took a great liking to the brown maid. One day the brown maid and the baby's mother fell out. Straightway, the servant was dismissed. Being fired was a somewhat novel experience to this brown maiden. She knew principally that she was expected to leave the premises, and that her pay, whatever that may have been, was to step. When the childish prattle was no longer heard, the mother rushed out just in time to see the squaw disappearing over the hill with the child. There was a hotly contested half-mile race. It was a race of the white and the red. White won and the precious child was brought back. BIRD RINGS BURGLAR ALARM. Seems to Take Delight in Tapping the Bank's Gong. Lewistown, Pa.—A mischievous bird known as the flicker, belonging to the woodpecker family, has taken a fancy to sounding a burrall alarm over the First National bank at Wrightsville. The first time or two the bird indulged in this prank it caused a sir in the neighborhood. It is thought that in the first place an insect on the surface of the gong was pecked by the bird and in this way the bird became acquainted with the musical qualities of the bell. The beating of the bird's bill on the bell produces a sound exactly like that produced by the electric tapper of the gong. ROOSTER CROWS BACKWARDS Tarrytown Merchant Has Freak Fowl That Puzzles Its Owner and Others. Tarrytown, N, Y.-Jacob Newman, a cloister living in Washington street owns a rooster that crows backwards. He has another rooster that crows naturally. Tuesday as two strangers were walking by Mr. Newman's yard the natural rooster crowed and the other answered. "Did you ever hear such an echo?" said one of the men. "It's backward." Then they looked over the fence and heard one rooster crow and the freak rooster answer. Mr. Newman, who was in the yard, explained that the rooster crowed backward and it had always puzzled him. SELLING STREET CARS. It's So Easy to Get Rid of Them at From $100 to "What Have You?" Cleveland, O.—Government buildings, skyscrapers and "gold bricks" have been "sold" to innocent farmers, who, with carpet bag in hand, stand on crowded corners and view the "wonders" of great cities. The days of this kind of crooked work are passed, so police say, but nevertheless street cars have been "sold" in Chicago and elsewhere in Illinois, within the last two weeks. Adorian Antal is under arrest here on a charge that he "sold" street cars to foreigners who recently settled in Kane county, Illinois. WHO WOULDN'T BE AN IND.AN? This Plute Has Got a Farm and Cost- Iy Automobile. Eureka, Nev.—John Hawley, Hute Indian, who is the only known Indian in this state to make a success at farming, has gone his redskin brother one better by purchasing an automobile and he is now making daily trips from his ranch in Diamond Valley to this town, carrying produce for sale to the residents here. Hawley bought the machine a week ago and learned to run it one day. He is the only known Indian to own and drive a car. Entirely too many people in this world are making themselves crosseyed looking for the street of easy money. This is as vain and foolish as hunting for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A saddle has been patented by a New Jersey inventor which includes leather flaps to cover the buckles, which frequently wear out riders' clothing. Flies can enter a garbage can that a New York man has patented, but as they try to get out they are caught in a wire trap, which can be detached and the insects destroyed. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Mrs. Burton Advises Women on Motherhood and Companionship.

We urge our readers to patronize ‘both the store and printing plant. ‘The latter does first-class work and at reasonable rates. ‘The Gazette hopes the local min isters, who called on Director Barry relative to the recent looting of five of our churches by thieves, were thoughtful enough to take up’ with him the need of more and better police protection for the Cedar-Cen- tral-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district because of the miserably immoral conditions existing there. That phase is infinitely more important to our people of this community than pecuniary or other losses of churches, other organizations or in- dividuals. We are heartily with our local federation ef women’s clubs, in their very praiseworthy effort, to se- cure a commutation or mitigation of the death sentence meted out to that youth of seventeen years, Bmanuel Ross, who (with Young) was recently ‘convicted of killing Isadore Steeck, a Central Ave, Jew- ish store-keeper.

P,, since its organ- ization, and" Afto-Americans of Clevelana “have long felt that it is high time that some of this. money should be used for their benefit here at home! ‘The impression pre- valls ‘that most (if not nearly. all) Of this money has been sent to the N. A. A.C. P. headquarters in New York City, and that “charity begins (or ought to) at home”, especially When it is so sadly needéd. As one of our leading professional men said to the writer, about ten days ago, this feeling is the reason why only elevon hundred dollars in cash and Subscriptions, instead of \ $11,000 as suggested by The Gazette, were given, the Sunday of the “Sweets” meeting in this city. He also said there was a very general fecling that. the officers. of the national or- ‘ganization (in N.Y, City) were pay- ing themselves entirely too large salaries, Be this as it may, the fact “stands out in bold relief” that ttle or none of the thousands of dol- lars our people of Cleyeland have con- tributed to the N. A. A. ©. P. local branch seems to have been used for their benefit here in Cleveland. When Dr. B. A. Bailey was so har- rassed by the KK.

A. A.C. P. branch par- ticularly and others of our local or- Sanizations as well ag individuals to give him the support he had a per- fect right to expect. Blowing and bragging of intention to do, and of what has been done elsewhere, won't doin such cases as Garvin's and Bailey”s. In case of the former three weeks’ warning, at least, was given by the K, K. K. that trouble just like that of last Saturday night might be expected, and yet, Mrs. Garvin with women’ guests only were Ieft_ in the Garvin home at night, too, to experience the shock and the scare the explosion that home- made bomb gave. ‘There should be a guard in the Garvin home, day and night, who knows how to use a good shot-sun and is not afraid to use it intelligently when called upon to do so in protection of that home and its inmates, and some of those thousands of dollars contributed to the local N. A. A. G. B.. branch should be used to pay those guards. When the K. K.

Instead of doing #0, the N. A. A.C. P. local branch and our local federation of women's clubs “slept on their rights” with the above result. The only one who seemed to be alive ‘and active in the effort to have Justice meted out was Atty. Louise Pridgeon and she alone could not do all that was necessary to be done. When any of our people kill a Jew they are very properly made to pay the penalty because the Jewish people are “up on their toes” every minute of the time until conviction Js secured, as in the cases of Ross and Young, week before last.

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 Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present 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. Trowell introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers workers to white people, and 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 Christian institution and not in Democratic one it was begun by Republicans, and carried to its all-embracing ex- There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their graph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored lady appeared after having passed the best examination, 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, and hails from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregation force. Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, 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 father of colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferta 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 when they reflect that they are far more vulnerable 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 segregation, and the bathrooms even the toilet. 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 postmaster building, it announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for the "postmaster employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I incurred a protest to the postmaster general, the day before, to complain to the office and the 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 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 whites over him, one after another, though of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have been trained to form a union because they are regularly and often so menly and intelligent access 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.) (Special) Washington office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and highest of our girls are forced to interrupt 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 caterain in this huge structure where the employees may go out there are a few tables that are out-of-the-way secured for our employees. In 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 and the promotional breezes that usher the inferior whites pass 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 injustice of this exclusion of our employees by 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 right-leaning member of the Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and 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 discharged. 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 exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!" The denial 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, O.SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1926. is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member or 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 officer or segregation of the races, and white lady who had been noted for her anthropology among our people and who intimate terms at the White House appalled 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 discuraged, 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. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to speak 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 to 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 fulness, 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 SEGREAT those that attend rooms, toilets, and working stations, and none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high and 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 segregation. Our people are still hoping for the presence of this unimaginative 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) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from 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 been known to have demi-derived the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what secretation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce that they that 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 no further. 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 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 at 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 registries of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfeld appointed Blanche 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; they remain in a dilemma; fear to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of the 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 the 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 civil war and the formal 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 words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to indict the men in the incidents here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign.

Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the time of a law to expose it, and if possible punish you. I and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) CHARACTER.

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 "mow" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence on another person may require a person shall constitute a "lyching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279.

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 a such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284.

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: OBS. mered. fig. a representative of victim of lynching injury by mob trying to lynch another and costs in tax levy. 98. inst member of mob. inst 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 gence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such imprisoned not less than thirty days county in falling 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 from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the edition had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894; The General Code of Oblo: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance 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 fifty dollars or nor more than ninety days of oblige. See. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not 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. --- 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. Mislied by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to he 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 Elthigh District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter, the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I will be very pleased to separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known that the办业家 is own town there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO RE- PROACH, nor our courts and juries in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage.—Editor. culation! Reading it, Reading CALL OF STORK SET BY DOCTORS DISCOVERIES OF AMERICAN AND GERMAN SCIENTISTS REGULATE TIME OF ARRIVAL. BIRTHDAY OPTIONAL WITHIN 2 WEEKS Dr. Charles B. Reed Puts System in Practice at Wesley Hospital. Chicago—There is a new science called "choose your own birthday." It has been practiced with great success by Dr. Charles B. Reed of Wesley Memorial hospital, Chicago, and Dr. James D. Vorhees, associate professor of obstetrics at Cornell University. It consists of making appointments with the stork at the doctor's rather than the stork's option, and it has been made possible by a set of measurements worked out by Dr. Ahlfeld, a German scientist and obstetrician and by an invention of Dr. Vorhees. Dr. Reed, one of Chicago's leading obstetricians, whose practice is among the wealthy, has systematized the stork to the extent of having him make all his calls of afternoons. For a year or more he has never had a night case or received the consignments of the stork except by such arrangements as one might make with dentist or dressmaker. In that time he has allowed a hundred or more babies to choose their own birthdays—within limits. The scope of birthday choosing is a span of two weeks before the stork must come, willy nilly. Any day in those two weeks that suits little Johnny or Jenny-to-be suits the doctor and the mother-to-be, if it does not conflict with the choice of some other mother, in which case another day within the two weeks' leeway is chosen for the birthday. Johnny or Jennie-to-be's mamma gets a card from the doctor, saying in effect: "I have set Tuesday," or Wednesday or Thursday, as the case may be, "for you, and will you please present yourself at Wesley hospital and get your little boy" or your little girl. The mamma-to-be goes to the hospital the night before the day named on the card. Early in the morning the doctor's assistant calls on her and tells her what to do, and after four hours Dr. Reed comes, and any time after that, but eight hours at the latest, Dr. Stork arrives and there's the baby. Dr. Reed maintains that his system follows natural laws. He calls it "setting the pendulum of the clock to swinging." He ascertains the scientific time of day from the stork. IDEAL HUSBAND NEVER Philadelphia, Pa.—A bald-headed husband is not an "ideal" husband. Not for Miss Minerva Clymer at least, who told the Warrington Farmers' club what she considered was "ideal" in a husband. Plenty of hair and "sparkling eyes" were two of the qualifications. "Model husbands" are but cheap imitations of the 'real thing,'" said Miss Clymer. Among other qualifications she said the "ideal" husband should be: Five feet ten inches in height. Attractive, bright and intelligent. Clean in appearance and in his actions. With sparkling eyes that see clearly and wisely. "He must realize his wife can do as much in her way as he can in his," declared Miss Clymer. "He must be satisfied with heaven—if he gets there. "We must know him to be a Christian by what he does for his wife, his family and his fellow-men." TEXAS COWS ARE DOPE FIENDS Least on Oak Leaves and Then Refuse All Other Food. Wetherford, Texas—When a dairy man named Bennett lost nine cows, State Veterinarian Christman was sent for by panic-stricken farmers, who found sick cattle in their herds. They were amazed to learn that the trouble was caused by green oak leaves, Dr. Christman says that once stock get a taste for the leaf they become dope feeds and will not eat any other food. The only cure is to pen them up until the craving disappears. CHERRY PIES FOR MULTITUDE. Nearly 1000 Presented by Colorado Town to Visitors. Manzanola, Colo.—A cherry pie for every man, woman and child who came to this place was the big feature of "cherry pie day," an annual institution here. Nearly ten thousand pies were distributed.
