Columbus, O.—Judge Florence Allen of Cleveland, *n* member of the State Supreme Court, has just mailed the following copy to Atty. Chester K. Gillespie of that city: No. 19573. Board of Education of the School District of the City of Dayton at e. v. state of Ohio ex ref. Carl Reece. BY THE COURT: His cause comes to this court on error in the court of appeals of Montgomery county, Ohio, in which court the cause originated. It was a suit in mandamus in which the petition alleged that the board of education has established and is maintaining a separate school in one of the school districts of the city of Dayton for the exclusive purposes of colored children and is requiring all colored children to attend said separate school and does not permit them to attend and receive instruction at the school with white children. It is further alleged that colored children "are required to occupy a separate part of the school premises with separate entrances and exits to the school building." The petition contains other pertinent allegations as to the segregation of colored children from the white children in respect to school buildings and school facilities. The petition therefore prays that the board of education and the superintendent of schools of the city of Dayton be ordered to the children of the colored race to the schools of said city on equal terms with white children. A demurrer was filed to this petition, which was overruled in the court of appeals and the cause FRESH OF Written By "The Gazette's Co.

Hartford, Conn.—The long, well-concealed family skeleton of a proud old Connecticut house was rattled in court here, recently. The occasion was Mrs. Florence B. White, a mother of 1,000 share in the estate of the late Captain Harry L. Beach, who she daims, was her father. Mrs. Coleman is a mulatto. To support her claim, she introduced a birth certificate, yellowed with age, which recorded her birth out of wedlock in 1877. "Florence Beach, daughter of Harry Beach, white, iron founder, 40, and Mary E. Ashler, yellow, 20, and Mary E. Ashler, gray, 23, 1877," read the record. In incredulous gasps followed its reading, Captain Beach, a Civil War hero, was of a Hartford family that has been prominent socially since before the Revolution. For years he was head the iron and machinery firm of codruff & Beach. He was 82 when he died suddenly in 1924. Mrs. Coleman, who gave her address in New York, was a marriage secret and had remained a from Hartford years under promise that Captain Beach was pro-550,000 for her in his will.

Pittsburgh, Pa.—Pittsburgh political leaders recalled, Monday, that the Republican party was founded here seventy years ago. Various elements of the old Whig party and opponents of the extension of slavery met here, Feb. 22, 1856, at the call of Salmon P. Chase, then governor of Ohio. All of the northern and several of the southern states were represented. Resolutions were adopted against extension of slavery and a national contest for the presidency.

LaFayette hall where the first meeting was held was dismantled thirty years ago to make way for a bank building. LINCOLN ON THE K. K. K. "You ask me what my politics are. I think I am a Whig. But they say there are no more Whigs. I am not a 'know nothing'. That is certain. How could I be? How could any one be who did not believe in the enslavement of a portion of the human race. It seems to me that our progress as a nation in degeneracy is pretty rapid. We started off as a nation by declaring only those who are created free and equal except Negroes. When the know-nothings get control it will read, 'All men are treated free an equal except Negroes, Jews, Catholics and foreigners. If it comes to this I prefer emigrating to some foreign country—to Russia for instance, where patriotism is not mixed with the base alloy of hypocrisy." "The Whip" Staff "Fired."

British General Parkenham Shot by "A Freeman of Color"—Gov. Claiborne's Merited Praise When Urging Their Enlistment—Two Regiments. PRIME SPORT NEWS Atlanta, Ga.—Digging into musty records of the battle of New Orleans, fought between the Americans and the British on Jan. 8, 1815, one comes upon the story of the battle of New Orleans historic event—the gallant participation of General Jackson's "Men of Color." In the national crisis of 1814, with the state of Maine in British hands, the capitol at Washington in ashes, and enlistments practically at an end, Gov. Claiborne of Louisiana, led by "Negro" soldiers, who in small numbers had given good account of themselves in the northern armies and with Commodores Perry and MacDonough. Men of "Good Character." "These men, sir, said I corboree [for these men, sir, said I corboree] good characters. Many of them have extensive connections and much property to defend, and all seem attached to arms. . . If we give them not our confidence the enemy will be encouraged to intrigue and corrupt them." On Sept. 21, 1814, Jackson followed this suggestion by issuing a spirited appeal to the free "Negroes" of Louisiana: "In through mistaken hope been laid upon us, have fore been deprived of participation in the glorious struggle for national rights in which our country is engaged. This no longer shall exist. As sons of freedom, you are now called upon to defend our most insimable blessing. As Americans, your country looks with confidence to her adopted children for a valuable support as a faithful return for the advantages enjoyed under her mild and equitable government. As Americans, your country looks with confidence to rally around the standard of the eagle, to defend all which is dear in existence. . . In sincerity of a soldier and the language of truth, I address you." Those who enlisted were promised the same Pick Brookins Three Times. Iowa City, Ia.—Three times an All-American selection in the 220-yard low hurdles is the unusual record of Charles R. Brookins, University of owa 1924 track captain, and holder of the world's records for this event. His most recent recognition was his week, again from F. W. Rublen in the A. W. U., who annually compiles the nation-wide choices. Brookins, tho of "mixed" parentage, prefers to align himself with the other group and not with ours it is said. Hubbard Sets New Sprint Record. Boston, Mass.—A world's record, that has stood for eighteen years, was broken in the seventh annual running of the American Legion track games here. Monday, when the team sprinted sixty-five yards in six and four-fifth seconds. The old mark was seven seconds. Jack and Lester Matched San Francisco, Calif.—Pat Lester of Tucson, Ariz., and Jack Johnson, "the old master," and former heavyweight champion of the world, have been matched for a bout in Mexico. The former manager of Lester, Jack stated that this was the first of a series of fights in his last effort to come back. Wills Indifferent Where He Fights Wills Indifferent Where He Fights. New York City—Harry Wills is indifferent as to where he fights Jack just so Dempsey will fight. Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Boyles Thirty Acres or the latest proposed site, Philadelphia, all look the same to Wills. What the challenger wants is to see Dempsey facing him in the ring with two regulation gloves on. The place doesn't mean anything, but the time does. Within the week Dempsey has announced that he would fight Wills Labor Day out west and a few days later stated that he will fight in Philadelphia. Hubbard Shows His Heels in N. Y Meet. New York City.—DeHart Hubbard, of Cincinnati, O. world's champion broad jumper, took the 75-yard dash in eight seconds and the 100 in 10 1-5 seconds, at the Crescent A. C. meet in Brooklyn, recently. The former University of Michigan flash drive was used with Henry H. Cummings, of the University of Virginia, a close second, and Cyril Coaffee, Canadian.

In Shot by "A Freeman of he's Merited Praise When ment—Two Regiments. bounty as white soldiers and were to have their own non-commissioned officers. **Raised Two Regiments.** A month later the Louisiana legislature authorized the raising of two regiments of the army by voluntary enlistment. The "men of color" rallied to the call and two battalions were enlisted, numbering 430 men. These were commanded by a white planter, La Coste, and by Maj. Daquin, and were stationed in Jackson's front line of defense, which wrought such havoc with the advancing British on Jan. 8. How well they did their part was in Jackson's address to the soldiers after the battle in which he said: "To the men of color—Soldiers! From the shores of Mobile I collected you to arms. I invited you to share in the perils and to divide the glory of your white countrymen. I expected much from you, for I was not uniformed of those which render you so formidable to an invading foe. I knew that you could endure hunger and thirst and all the hardships of war. I knew that you loved the land of your nativity and that, like ourselves, you had to defend all that is most dear to man. But you surpass my hopes! I have found in you, united to these, theasm which impels to great deeds." In his report of the battle to President Monroe, Jackson embodies an interesting speculation as to the death of the British commander: "I saw Gen. Parkenham reel and pitch out of his saddle. I have always believed that he fell from the bullet of a freeman of color, who was a famous rifle shot and came from the Attakapa region of Louisiana."—R. B. Eleazer, (white), Educational Director, Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation. DRT NEWS third. In the century sprint, Hubbard was first, C咖啡, second and Cummings, third, Loren Murchinch, (white), was unable to appear as he was suffering from a sprained tendon. The next night in the Newark, N. J., meet, Hubbard won the sprint series by placing second to Bowman of the Newark A. C., in the 70-yard dash and leading Murchinch across the tape, the 60-yard run and placing second to Murchinch in the 50-yard sprint earlier in the evening. In this event Hubbard was nosed out by a scant six inches. ON WITH REVOLT! Bishop Brown Urges Our People to Contend More Active and Aggressively for More Freedom. New York City—Bishop William Montgomery Brown, (white), who was deposed from the Protestant Episcopal church for alleged heresy but later consecrated a bishop in the Old Catholic church, discussed the subject of "Revolution", Monday, before several hundred of our people in Hardin described revolution he supreme movement of evolutionary progress. "I spoke to you on Lincoln's birthday on the subject of emancipation," he said, "and I was severely criticized. Lincoln's birthday apparently was not the time to mention any such subject as emancipation and Washington's birthday is no time to mention it. On with the revolution! Obey that impulse! Statistics or no statistics, the time has come when you want to breathe, when you want to have life and have it more abundantly. Our government, in fact, has become so futile that nobody seems able to take it seriously any longer. Congress is a joke, and it is generally recognized that our administrative departments are for sale at bargain prices." Another Priest Ordained. Washington, D. C.—Rev. Norman A. Duckette, formerly of this city, was recently ordained a secular priest by Bishop Michal J. Gallagher, of Detroit, at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, in that city.

The Mississippi senate has passed a resolution “protesting against the misuse of federal patronage by Re- publican leaders" of that state. Poor things! The strangest thing about it all, after all, is that U. S. Senator Pat. Harrison of Mississippi refuses to “roar” over the matter. ‘The trustees of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., have elected Thom- as Elsa Jones (white), president, to sueceed Dr. Fayette A. McKenzie of this state, who was forced to resign, some months ago, by rebellious stu- dents who could not stand his insult- ing mistreatment, the result of hi efforts to “kowtow” to southern pre- judice. We hope he is a MAN, broad: er, bigger (mentally) and better than McKenzie. This for the “good and welfare” of that famous old race institution of learning. We are in- formed that Dr. Jones is a graduate of Columbia University. ui Atty, Alex. H. Martin was in St. Louis, last week, in conference with stockholders of the Standard Life Insurance Co., of Atlanta, which a southern white inourance company has “gobbled up’. It will be recall- ed that when the Standard “went on the rocks", last year, it carried down with it “The Holding Co.” of that city into which was forced nearly every worth-while business enterprise owned by our people in Atlanta, Rascally “blowbags and wind-jammers”, like we have in Cleveland (coming here from tie South, in the last nine years), caused the Standard and “Holding” com- panies’ downfall. President Roosevelt “stabbed Sen- ator Foraker to the heart”, political- ly, and all because of the latter's espousal of the cause of “The Black Batallion", the U, 8. senate discus- sion of which Roosevelt referred to as “academic”. The senator may haye forgiven Roosevelt before his death but we happen to know that he never FORGOT his malicious mis- treatment of him. They never “made up” in the fullest sense of the ex- pression. Foraker was one of the ablest statesmen this country has ‘ever produced; a cultured, Christian gentleman, Roosevelt was not his qual in point of culture or ability. ih “The only way to suppress lynch- ing is to let those who engage in it ‘understand that they will be punish- ed and punished severely,” declares Gov. W.'A. McLean of North Caroli- na, in a statement issued, last week ‘Tuesday. The governor undoubtedly has reference to the South, Here in the North, mob violence and lynching have been stopped in a number of states by the enactment of mob vio- Jence or anti-lyncliing laws which as a rule make the counties in which such disturbances (lynchings) occur pay for them, just like our Ohio law. We believe the same laws would be almost equaly effective in the south- land if the states in that section of the country would only enact them. AN N. A. A. C. P, SURPRISE. In his address to a sub-committee of the U. 8. House of Representa tives’ Judiciary committee, at Wash- ington, D. C., Feb. 16, on the McKin- Jey-Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, among ‘other things, Secretary J, W. John- fon, of the N. A. A.C, P., ts quoted caving tbat “Section 1 gf the 14th iHE GEEVUM GIRLS Amendment (to the U. S. Constitu- tion), assuring ‘equal protection of the laws’ to all citizens, was the basis for the proposed law." If this 1s all the “basis the McKinley-Dyer bill has, it will never become a law. Even if it is passed by the Congress, some- thing not at all likely, it will be de- clared unconstitutional by the U. 8. Supreme Court. ‘The leading, consti- tutional lawyers (both Republican and Democratic) in both branches of the Congress, from the very begin- ning of the N. A. A. C. P. effort to ‘pass a federal anti-lynching bill, have declared unreservedly that the Con- gress had no power to enact such @ law for the several states because the regulation of mob violence was a right vested in the states by the fun- damental law of the land—the U. 8. Constitution, Mr. Johnson astounds as! We had thought and hoped that the N. A.A. C.

Rev. Solomon Porter Hood of North Carolina was ordered home from Liberia, Africa, recently, by the State Department, and his suc- cessor was appointed by President Coolidge before our minister to that country could land in this country from the boat on which he imiedi- ately took passage home. All because he (Minister Hood) had not served the purposes of “big business” as it wanted him to, even tho they (the purposes) were inimical to the vital interests of the little black African- republic. Worse still: Coolidge has appointed a white man by the name of Reid Page Clark (‘“charge-de-af- faires”) a8 Rev. Hood’s successor— the first time in the history of this ‘country such a thing has been done. ‘Again does the President show what lite respect, if any, he has for the wishes or desires of our people of this country, and the whole world for that matter. “Negroes” whe supported the Coolidge candidacy, last time, should cut the foregoing out and paste it in their hats, for future reference. 0, yes, he’s going to be a candidate again. Judge Gary, president of the U. S. Steel Trust “pig business’ spokesman, says ko —i— | WILLIS OBEYED PARTY 7 MANDATE. Ex-Mayor of Cleveland and Ex- Governor of Ohio, Harry L. Davis, who “turned our people of Ohio dows so flat” (a la President Coolidge) when holding the position of govern: or and who was “snowed under” an avalanche of votes by the citizens of the state, the last time he ran for governor (two years ago), was in Co Iumbus, last week, continuing his effort to work himself into a position that would enable him to stand as 2 eandidate for U. 8. senator against Senator Frank B. Willis. Impelled to the suggestion, according to the Associated Press, by “repeated men- tlon of his name as a possible candl- date for U. 8. senator,” Davis insists that Willis “explain to the people of Ohio why he yoted for participation in the world court.” If he can ex- plain it satisfactorily—to Davis, of course—Davis concedes that the sen- ator should be renominated without opposition. The clear inference is that unless such an explanation ts forthcoming Davis, himself, will en- ter the primary on an anti-world court platform. The question put to Willis to answer is not at all diffi- cult, The last declaration of nation- al Republican principles was the Cleveland platform of 1924. “We in- dorse the permanent court of inter- national justice,” that platform de- clares, “and favor the adherence of the United States to this tribunal as recommended by President, Cool- idge.” Following this, the Republi- ean state convention in June /wrote this into the Ohio platform: “We commend the national Republican platform of 1924 as a constructive, intelligent statement of the policies of the Republican party.” That is sufficient answer to the Davis inqui- ry and Mr, Willis and every other Re- publican in the state except Davis, it seems, recognizes this fact. No Re- publican can challenge the senator's vote on the court without repudiat- ing the solemn declaration of the party, as well as the urgent and oft- repeated advice of two Republican presidents, While we. have. never been able to enthuse over his coun- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0.

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 Kitt. 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. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the citizens living in the towns to restrict white residents 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 democratic situation and not a Democratic one; it was begun by Republicans, and to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after the president the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary of State President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregationists, 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 make public 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 tenants of the Constitution, 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 postpost face recognition is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferla 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, disadvantage 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 a bit, the more they perfect that they are of more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the jocker rooms there is segregation, and the attentive toilet 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. It incurred a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was come on, and the clerks invited it to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks go around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have our contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of them. The colored clerks are trained to form a union through meets a regularly and often so many and intelligent accesses to the postmaster, and often accepts 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 to the Gazette) Washington, D. C. — The government printing office keeps on with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and originest positions are forced to accept other 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 all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-sections reserve that few, employees, anglad may that few, employees, people patronize the places, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, we know that 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 so severely that many of the 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 night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. He was 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. We were punished 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 have never given a single name. The denial of the name is 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, O.SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1926. is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness (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 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 white lady who had been noted for her anatomy among our people and who upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, or for democracy was at the crest wald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregates, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. 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 Abram Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Doug gass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than any other branch of the public school. THE HEY GATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high 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 high grades. They have 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 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) 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 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 bank of 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, employing more than 100,000 groves 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 gov- ernment—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special 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 office with a sprawling 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 registries 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 segregation or elimination, and being with a white man 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 in the Treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, bearer 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 increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the compartment investigation of Burcause An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!" Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C.

OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching 6283.

County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1834 and re-introduced in 1896. 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 "injury." In the case of a chapter, an Act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as disposed of in 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, manual labor, a sum not exceeding five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 1282. 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 so 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 among the next according to the law of the distribution, the law 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. (V3 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 6236. 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 6237. 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 6238. 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: OBS. nced. fig. a representative of victim of lynching. bury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. ess. 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 on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence in the case of such 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 of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Coge of Ohio: 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 denied not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding rule 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. Misled by the foolishly manufactured order for the passage of the Beaver Hill years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal edited to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its 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 Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of 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. Fman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OURS IS UNDER NO PROACH, nor our own justice in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Rellable" 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. uation! Reading it, B r Reading a LINCOLN, LEE AND JACKSON. Hardly was the ink dry on the copy of The Cleveland Daily Press which, last week, recommended that the North also celebrate the birthdays of "Generals" Lee and Jackson, "southern heroes", when three chapters of the Daughters of the Confederacy at Houston, Texas, "took offense at Gov. Miriam A. Ferguson's proclamation asking Texans to celebrate the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the martyr President and the greatest character in American history. In a signed statement, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Cran M. Roberts chapters said: "History has failed to reveal a single instance which might inspire gratitude from the South, or in which Lincoln was not perfidious to the South. If we do not protest, no doubt John Brown and Harriet Beecher Stowe will be up for celebration." There was only one rebel, and traitor to his country, greater than Lee and Jackson and that was Jeff, Davis! And The Cleveland Daily Press wants the people of this session to feel "proud that their country has produced a Lee and a Jackson, national heroes, not southern heroes only". Lord, have mercy! That is enough to make every Grand Army veteran, "who sleeps the sleep that knows no awakening", turn over in his grave. Whither are we drifting when such maudlin sentiment can appear in a daily newspaper of this section of the country in this day and time without raising a storm of protest from the veterans of our wars and all other loyal citizens? The Cleveland Daily Press is holding "the olive branch" to the South entirely too far out for its own "good and welfare" as well as the country's. It surely is not promoting the spirit of loyalty among the young or the old by such publications. The Press reminds us of the delegation of New York merchants that called on Lincoln between his election and inauguration to urge a policy of conciliation toward the South. "It is for you to say", they told him, "whether this nation shall be plunged into bankruptcy and whether the grass shall grow in the streets of our commercial cities." "The constitution", the president-elect replied, "will be preserved and defended in every part of every one of the United States. It must be so respected, obeyed, enforced and defended, let the grass grow where it may." Imagine, if you can, Lincoln's characterizing as "national heroes" the two leading southern generals who led hosts of misguided men in a four or five year war-effort to shoot the constitution full of holes! This, too, to please the section of the country, the South, that does not to this day respect and obey the constitution. For nine years the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, the Cleveland Welfare Association and other local organizations have been holding conferences and having surveys made of the "terrible housing conditions", existing in the 11th and 12th wards of this city, and that is as far as any of them have ever gone in an effort to remedy them. Now comes Health Commissioner Rockwood with the suggestion that another survey be made. When this same housing matter was being considered, about a year ago, by a Chamber committee we wrote that organization that a solution of the housing problem in that section of the city rested in its getting the Community Fund to spend some of its millions of money in building, in wards 11 and 12, and that was the last of that! Now they are again, for the "stealth" time, talking of another survey and we presume preparing for more "conferences" on the subject. Good Lord, deliver us! Come, gentlemen, give us ACTION after so many years' talk. Our Ohio anti-lynching law should be modified, says Assistant County Prosecutor Harry E. Parsons, because the law stipulates that a man killed in a disturbance caused by three or more persons may be regarded as lynched. The state supreme court, Wednesday, upheld lower court verdicts against the county for the death of a garbage collector killed during a riot. Two cases are pending, Parsons said. This same criticism was voiced by the Ohio Ku Klux Klan during the last session of the Ohio Assembly when its vain efforts to amend the law failed. Now comes Mr. Parsons expressing the same opinion which is not good. Can it be that he is a member of the lawless organization, the K. K.?
