Former Charge d'Affaires Thoby Files a Memorandum with U. S. Senators and Qur Government. Washington, D. C.-Hon. Perceval Thoby, former Haitian Charge d'Affaires here are representatives of the Patriotic Union of Haiti, has filed a memorandum, setting forth the bad conditions prevailing in his country as a consequence of the maladministration of American Occupation officials and the acts of the U. S. Government, which he will soon file with Senators King and Borah. In it, Mr. Thoby outlines the indictment of American Occupation under the following main heads: 1. Popular elections have been deferred in violation of the Haitian Constitution, and the President of Haiti has been designated by an unlawfully constituted council of State which the President, by appointing his friends to it has managed to keep in control. 2. Haitian currency has been depreciated, thus lowering the standard of living among the people, and the national debt has been maladministered. 3. The Haitian land laws have been changed, requiring documents and land titles of peacekeepers who have been killed in the land and cultivated it, without having had to prove ownership by documents. The new laws have been used to de- CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies.

By a secret and unlawful agreement, the period of American control over Haiti has been increased from 10 to 20 years in order to assure the $40,000,000 Haitian loan floated by American banking institution. "The material as well as the moral welfare of Haiti," states Mr. Thoby, "demands the immediate abandonment of the actual policy and the withdrawal of the Occupation. The country has no voice in its affairs and since 1917, when Col. Smedley Butler brutally expelled from their seats the Haitian activist, the former Haiti has had no constitutional representation. So in the meantime, without the consent of the Haitian people, secret agreements were signed with the American government in the guise of a so-called additional act for the renewal of the treaty of 1915, signed by Mr. Borno, then Minister of Foreign Affairs, and William M.

New York City.—Glowing tribute to the actor, singer, athlete and man, Paul Robeson, is paid in a lengthy article in the "New Republic", this city, for March 3, written by the well-known essayist, Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant and entitled: "The Man With His Home In a Rock: Paul Robeson". "Paul Robeson is not merely an actor and a singer of Negro spirituals, but a symbol," writes Miss Sergeant. "A sort of sublimation of what the Negro may be in the Golden Age hangs about him, and imparts to his appearances an atmosphere of affection and delight that is seldom felt in an American audience. He is one, and clear cut, in the Greek or primitive sense. This sureness of essential being takes him across the concert stage, as it did the football field, with it, the signature of strong athletic body, which is the reflection in action of an inward goal. He has never seen a Georgia road gang but when he sings 'Water Boy' the very accent and spirit of the Negro laborers enter into him and come out in that poignant vagrant song, one of the most beautiful in all folk music. Yet I have never seen on the stage a more civilized, a more finished and accomplished artistic gesture than his nod to his accompanist, the signee of the final seal of Paul Robeson's personal ease in the world. Even a southerner would have difficulty in negating its quality and elbowing its creator from the sidewalk." Miss Sergeant tells of Mr. Robeson's fine relationship with his majestic preacher father; of the boy's leading his classes in college and being elected to the honorary Phi Beta Kappa society; as well as being called by Walter Camp, who named him twice on the All-American Football Team, "the greatest defensive end that ever trod the gridiron." A conclusion of her essay, she compares Robeson with the great Rus Tolstoy, opera singer, Fedor Chalipin, and writes: "Let us give thanks that we were not born too late to hear this Negro Chalipin render the spirituals reverently, with wildness and awe, like a trusting child of God."

SARAH ZEIGLER SMITH The 16-year-old heiress to the millions of a wealthy Poughkeepsie manufacturer started New York's first business she had become the bride of Charles Edgar Smith of Huntington, Pa.

SWEET'S TRIAL DATE IS SET. Dentist Brother of Medic Will Face Jury, Monday, the Prosecutor Detroit, Mich.—Retrial of the cases growing out of the slaying of the mobocrat, Leon Breiner, last September, while a mob of whites was gathered in front of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet's new home at 2905 Garland Ave., will start, March 15, when Dr. Henry Sweet, brother of Breiner's court jury on a trumped up charge of murder. The brothers and Leonard Morse will be the first defendants to be given separate new trials, the prosecutor's office believing more "trumped up evidence" exists against them against the eight others accused with them in the original cases, which were tried jointly. It was testified that the trumped up evidence that he fired a rifle from an upper front window of the house. According to the testimony, he said he shot over the heads of people standing on the opposite side of the street. There was also "testimony" that Morse was standing in an upper room with a shotgun in his possession, and that Dr. Ossian sweet saw him in this position, just before Robert M. Toms announced that the new date of the resumption would remain a tentative one until it had been agreed to by Atty. Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the defense. The jury in the original case, last November, after 46 hours was unable to agree on a verdict. Since that date all defendants have been at liberty on ball. The 11 are also at liberty with result of intent to kill as the result of the wounding of Eric Haughberg, 2918 Garland Ave., another mobocrat, simultaneously with the shooting of Breiner. HER LOVER A SUICIDE WHITE WOMAN SEeks DEATH Washington, Pa.—While leaving a local undertaking establishment, last week Friday afternoon, where she had viewed the body of Clarence Streibling, age 29, suspended member of the local police force, who ended his life. Thursday night, in the lodge of the local police station, Josephine Lemley, age 25, (white), attempted to end her life by swallowing poison as she stepped into a taxicab just after leaving the morgue. The act was frustrated by a woman with her, who grabbed the bottle just as she raised it to her lips. Some of the poison got into her mouth, badly burning her throat. In the hospital where her condition was reported as serious, Streibling was married. His wife hasn't taken any poison as yet. Yes, both are "Afros" Eurkee Has Resigned! Washington, D. C.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS RAPS THE KU KLUX KLAN IT IS "HOT! RIGHT OFF THE GRIDDLE"! Atlantic City, N. J.—Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes (white) of the Chicago district of the Methodist Episcopal Church, denounced the Klu Klu Klan during a sermon delivered, last week Wednesday, before the New Jersey conference over which he presided“Talk Makes Him“Sick.“Hear me, despite your prejudices, for Christ's sake.” Bishop Hughes pleaded.“If we keep on with our silly prejudice, we will cause the black, yellow and brown races to combine against Caucasians and then God help the white people of the world. All this talk about the Nordic races makes me sick. It is not so many years since your ancestors and mine were ranging the forests of northern Europe and they did not when they killed a deer they ate it raw and bathed their whiskers in its blood. Some of those who are prating most loudly about Nordic races do not know what the term implies. Remember, too, Afro-Americans have never been found among the anarchists in our mast." Kluxer Nonsense Heresy and an Outrage. The attack on the miserable K. K. K. by Bishop Hughes came during a reference to the anti-slavery work of Bishop Gilbert Haven of Malden, Mass. "It same old nonsense is going on today," Bishop Hughes declared. "It is the same old heresy and it is an outrage. I have received some mean communications recently but I will not hold back my peace. The Afro-American has never gone back on that flag" (pointing to the Stars and Stripes draped across the pulpit). "For years past in my travels over this country I have seen more of colored Pullman porters than I have of my own wife and family. They are a fine faithful class. They are a fine faithful class.

Miss C. A. Whitney One Out of One Hundred Million White Americans—She's a Wonder, Alright—"Rattling the Dry Bones." San Francisco, Calif.—An emphatic demand that every state in the union be compelled to give legal sanction to marriages between the races was cheered to the echo by the California branch of the National Women's party gathered in the exclusive Fairmont hotel here, recently, to celebrate the birthday anniversary of the distinguished civil librarians and scholars at the University in a bitter denunciation of race prejudice, Miss Charlotte Anita Whitney, (white), nationally known lecturer on women's rights, scored the white women of the country for failing to take up the battle against anti-mixed marriage legislation. Amid outbursts of applause from leading members of the California branch the white woman voiced a strong plea for the wiping out of restrictive legislation. Defends Intermarriage. Defends intermarriage. "If a full grown man and woman wish to live together as man and wife," she insisted, "it is only decent to what their color. Our laws forbidding intermarriage of the races reduce the colored girl to the level of a dog and deprive her of that respect that should be accorded every human being. They leave her without the redress of wrong that is given to every white woman. It is simply our own fear complex that makes us avoid this question of interracial marriage. The Constitution recognizes the citizen, and has nothing to do with race or color. It will be years before we have courage to declare for complete suffrage, state by state. And the result of our timidity is the present intermarriage legislation." Scores Race Prejudice. "What Price Freedom" was Miss Whitney's subject. Describing the work of Mrs. Susan B. Anthony, who was an associate of Frederick Douglass, she scored the disfranchisement of the women of the race in the South. "Mrs. Anthony worked for universal suffrage. She paid the price for sponsoring it. We should not rest upon it. It is this very moment one-tenth of the women of our country are not enfranchised."

As the mutters reached his ears he tore off his glasses and hammered on the pulpit, saying that although he had received "mean letters", he nevertheless had the courage of his convictions, had told "plain truths", and that "a Methodist bishop is elected for life." That will "hold them for a while". circles as a powerful women's bloom may be launched to fight intermarriage legislation as the result of the recent demonstration. Cheap politicians who have been dodging the issue will find their bluff called. These women know that the arguments against mixed marriages are bunk. They know that mixed marriages almost never figure in the divorce courts, while the dockets are more likely to be married. They are determined to fight for fair play and to denounce every "chicken-livered" politician who stands in their way. FRANCIS LIBEL CASE REVERSED. Philadelphia, Pa.—The circuit court of appeals recently handed down a decision in the case of Rothschild Francis, editor of the "Emancipator", of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, who was sentenced to jail for alleged criminal libel and contempt of court by George Washington Williams, who was sentenced to the federal court here, to which all appeals from the Islands are carried. The local court has reversed the conviction on the libel charge, but sustained the sentence of 30 days for contempt of court. This decision has been appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court as involving an issue of far-flung jurisdiction, and the case maintains that the real reason for his sentence by the Virgin Islands court was his opposition to "Cracker" Williams' appointment as judge. He was tried without jury and sentenced to one month on the charge of libeling a native policeman. The Philadelphia court in reversing Judge Williams' libel charge against the libel law used to regulate the press. The contempt case grew out of an editorial by Francis in his paper charging that he had been "railroaded" in the libel case. TAKES OVER THE MAORIS Pittsburgh, Pa.—The taking over by New Zealand of the Union Islands, upon which are found the Maoris, has given the latter a new heart and hope. The Maoris are a racial segment of the Polynesian stock, a colored race, whose people are cheerful, courageous, cleanly, gentle and dignified, with keen artistic sense and highly poetical imaginations. The Maoris have produced doctors, lawyers, members of the Legislature, and a cabinet minister. Their alliance with New Zealand, however, which has already laid down the pledge to treat them on an equal basis with its own natives, bodes well for the future of the Maori natives.

Wonderful American woman—Miss Charlotte Anita Whitney! Would that one male American of the other group had the courage to speak, out in the open, these days, on the same subject and in the same way. A New York grand jury has indicted the eight white brutes that attacked that fourteen-year-old girl of the race, in recent months, who died from the effects of their barbaric mistreatment. Hanging or the electric chair is "too good for them", if guilty as charged. --- President J. Stanley Durkee of Howard University has just done the biggest and best thing he has ever done for that famous old race institution. He has resigned! Durkee is of the Coolidge vintage—prosouthern when it comes to prejudice against our people. --- The Sweets trials at Detroit are scheduled to start, Monday. The kluxers in Michigan's leading city are determined to punish one of the Sweet brothers, if they can, for striking back; and to fix the blame for the failure of their anarchistic attempt to drive the Sweets from their home, without suffering any casualties, on the Sweets. They, the kluxers, will never be permitted to do so, however. Mark our prediction! Does this country's "strangle hold" on Haiti, its recent "firing" or Minister Hood and putting a white man in his place as charge d'affaires at Liberia, Africa, something heretofore unhard of, convince you, in the face of all of a somewhat like nature that has been visited upon our people by the government, that the Coolidge administration is not only thoroly in the clutches of "Big Business (headquarters, N. Y. City) but also that it has adopted the prejudiced South's "ways of dealing with Negroes". It surely ought to. FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCHING LAWY The fundamental law of the land gives to the various states of the country the right to legislate against and regulate mob violence which in includes lynching, of course. This fact is generally recognized by our leading constitutional lawyers, both Republican and Democratic, the courts etc. It is difficult to see how the U. S. Supreme Court can declare constitutional the McKinley-Dyer bill as a law, or any other, that will "step in when any state of the Union fails to exercise its right and carry to a successful conclusion the plain interpretation of the United States which is blinding not only upon the erring state but upon all the states, severally and collectively". The failure of any state to do its clear moral or legal duty does not create a legal (constitutional) basis for the enactment of a law by the Congress which transgresses a state right. While we would that it were otherwise, so that a constitutional federal mob violence or anti-lynching law could be enacted by the Congress, it is perfectly clear to us, as well as to the greatest constitutional lawyers in this country, that it is an impossibility for the reason stated. The several states of the Union, and they alone, have the RIGHT to legislate against mob violence and the N. A. A. C. P. and all others will learn this if any anti-lynching bill is enacted into law by the Congress and it ever reaches the U. S. Supreme Court. However, there is little likelihood of any such bill ever passing both branches of the Congress with its Republican majority and Presi- THE GEEVUM GIRLS dent making every concession to the South, as far as our people are concerned, it insists upon. And there will never be any change in this sad condition of affairs political until enough of our voters learn to strike back at the proper time and in a proper way. We say this, too, as a life-long, active Republican. A white Protestant bishop (Hughes), speaking in New Jersey, last week; Charles Edward Russell, writing at the nation's capital; the Rt. Hon. Philip Snowden, speaking in England, and Miss Charlotte Anita Whitney, writing in California, the week before; and Pope Plus writing in Rome, Italy, last week, all against one phase or another of fool-racial prejudice is very encouraging to say the least. May their kind continue to increase. What pleases us greatly is that this country has not had such "a shaking up" along the prejudice line for lot of these many years. It was during the Chicago World Fair, years ago, that they had the very disagreeable fact driven nome that a big majority of the people of the world was made up of the black, yellow and brown races, to say nothing about the remnant of the red race still in existence. We well remember with what stubborn silence this information was received throughout the country. The only things to happen since that are reminders of this are Jack Johnson's victory over Jim Jeffries and "Tiger" Flowers' more recent whipping of Harry Greb. How very foolish, yea "silly" is this damppool American prejudice. This recent outburst against it is indeed timely. Thank the Lord for it ANOTHER SOUNDS THE WARN ING! Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes of the Methodist Episcopal Church, headquarters, Chicago, we salute you! A MAN among MEN! There are entirely too few of your kind in this day and time. Strange, but true! And yet, here of late, we are glad to say the number seems to be on the increase. We hope we have not a wrong impression as to this. "As you sow, so shall ye recap", said in effect the Rt. Hon. Philip Snowden, member of the English parliament, recently, in giving to the prejudiced whites of the world a warning similar to that voiced, last week, by Bishop Hughes. And the warnings are not being given a bit too soon, either. "The last shall be first", etc., etc. When this comes to pass, as it surely will in the fullness of time, "the white people of the world" will have enough to answer for without any K. K. K. damptoilishness. The Hon. Philip Snowden and Bishop Hughes are right; no question about that! They are only in advance of all the other whites in sounding the warning. That is all. "SOCIAL EQUALITY, DOWN HOME" Kinston, N. C.—An unusual case before the county court here, last week Wednesday afternoon, was marked by the plea of H. L. Dawson, a farm tenant, that he thought himself justified in leaving his wife because an infant born to them had the appearance of being a mullato child. Mrs. Dawson denied that the infant was "colored", declaring her only indiscretion in a moral way had been wished her husband prior to their marriage. The court noted the baby had some of the characteristics of a mullato but fined Dawson $100 and costs for non-support. The court gave the defendant the privilege of paying a small month until he could sue for divorce as an alternative to the fine. Dawson preferred the latter. EXAMINE McDOUGALL'S HEAD! Philadelphia, Pa.—"Crime waves in the United States are the result of a mingling of races, resulting in the weakening of traditions which ordinarily would preserve order," says Dr. William McDougall, psychologist of Hanover University, at about this was his reply at a meeting of the Philadelphia Foreign Policy Association, to the plea of Syud Hossain of Indian birth, who urged a brotherhood of man, with America in the role of moral leader. "Racial preference," not "racial prejudice," was stressed by the psychologist, who Americanized the problem. "The colored problem, has cultivated the principle of racial preference." Segregation Fight In Supreme Court. Indianapolis, Ind.—The case of Archie Creathouse, against the board of school commissioners of this city, who regated high school is being contested, has gone to the state supreme court. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1926. Rome, Italy.—The belief that the dark skinned races are inferior to the white is a mistaken one, Pope Pius declared in an encyclical letter published, last week Friday, vigorously urging an increase in the number of native Catholic clergymen in the so-called uncivilized regions of the world. His holiness says that long experience proves that these peoples, erroneously termed inferior, can compete with the white races in modern academia. "If I lay the heart of barbous lands," he writes, "there are found men who seem slow to learn, it is because the conditions of their life do not push them to make larger use of their intelligence." CHARGED WITH SIKI'S MURDER. New York City.—Martin Maroney, age 18, a laborer, was arrested, Monday night, on a charge of homicide in connection with the killing of Louis Phal, "Battling Siki", pugilist, on Dec. 15, '25. The two detectives who made the arrest had posed as gangsters and robbers, and a robbery for two weeks, after he aroused their suspicion by a telephone conversation in a social club. "15th Amendment Plague Source." "15th Amendment Plague Source." Jefferson City, Mo.—Adoption of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution "has been the source of more plagues to the body politic than the legends tell us were the first plague to be declared in Israel," the Missouri supreme court declared, March 4, in an opinion which upheld the validity of the state law providing for registration of voters in cities of 10,000 population and more. The opinion urged more than 100,000 voters to register of suffrage, stating that "this right free from restrictive limitations, is a menace to the perpetuity of free government." An "Attucks" Proclamation Boston, Mass.—Gov. Alvin T. Fuller, at the request of a sub-committee of the declaration of independence committee of the National Equal Rights league, issued an official Proclamation for Boston Massacre Day, Mar. 4, eulogizing Crispus Attucks and mentioning with praise his role in the unison that he for this country's independence. This episode, which Attucks conducted, has never been so fully recognized before. EDUCATORS FIGHT PREJUDICE Washington, D. C.—Dr. Randall J.

Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are the mostounding. The Jews are 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however far we may continue.

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 Latt. 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. The segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting white workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one it was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its alt-entracing 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 discused in their photograph which must accompany papers, is tenaciously held on to by our republican President Only last week, a colored lady appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed to the department. The photograph had tailed 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 Cox President Coolidge. The bills from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is no use to complain of either of the 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.) (Special to the Guest) Washington, D. C.—In the postface segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a pacious caferla for 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, disadvantages 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 prisoners. The injustice stings all the more when they perfect that they are far more capable than the whites, and when 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 locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. All of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I incurred a protest to the postmaster general, to the postmaster as to off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. Unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests of quickness and accuracy in handing of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and highest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large number in this huge structure where all of the employees may go but there are a few tables in our out-of-the-way section designed for our employees, glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotion. Here as elsewhere, inferior whites cover over their 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 in this exclusion of our employee so keenly that he secured the company of a young man in 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 carried a pistol. Right at the door he 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 dismissed. The security punishment 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, never given a chance!! The department cannot take the position, 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. Q.SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 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 or his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony,亦可到 any thought race. Justice before came an order for segregation of the and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and 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 on stormy afternoon to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Oswald 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 segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau al'together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED there, that they are rooms, toilets, and working stations, none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. The our people are in an order disliking this inquisitive 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 gentus 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 never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John. Sherman. These men never knew what secrecration 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 demand for the several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarse there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no 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 cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spars; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing that their clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION Washington, D.C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly the of the office of the internal revenue bureau. In the former, bear board wards 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 campaign. Investigation of Bureaus Investigation of Bureau An investigation of the executive departments and bureaues listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections — one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees, as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employ- Bonus Section Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the War Department Transportation Department segregated section of 5 employees P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT."

It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An officer of a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "yitching" 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 person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor.

A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person 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 persecuted, according to the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault.

Section 6237. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment costs against it in the form of legal representations or a person killed or injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288.

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.

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 a Ohio Civil Rights law which the man had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, bar-shower, public enveveryance 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 more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the per person 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 and The Gazette published, 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. Mear Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a porter 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 ($600) 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 edited by Mr. UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. MURINE FOR YOUR EYES Murine Co., Dpt. H. S., 9 E. Ohio St., Chicago 9.YEAR.OLD BLACKSMITH. Finds Pleasure in Making Samples for Box_Friends and Turning Blower for Father. Branchville, N. J.—Under a spreading chestnut树 the village smithy stands. The smith—a mighty man is he, just like Longfellow's smith. But Branchville's smith has a son who is mightier than his father, if you believe what the youth's companions say about the boy. In Branchville Cyrus Garris, 9 years old, is the boy of the hour—better the children's hours, between the dark and the daylight when he quits work as the youngest blacksmith in the state, and probably the whole world. At this hour "Cy's" friends gather around the shop to reap the harvest of his day's work. He wipes the beads from his brow and gives them whiffletree rings and sometimes horseshoes, all of his own manufacture. "Sure, I'm going to be a blacksmith when I grow up," was his sincere answer when he was asked what career he had decided upon. "Cy's" father, Lester Garris, was asked his opinion of the boy as a blacksmith. Mr. Garris picked up a horseshoe and looked at it with pride. It was one that "Cy" had made. "See how that toe is welded on," he said. "It's tight, and it wouldn't come off if it was used until it wore out. I've hired a good many blacksmiths right here who couldn't do a job like that. He's a great kid, and I never showed him about the work. He just picked it up hangin' around the shop." "Cy" started as a blacksmith by welding together two pieces of old wagon tire. He said this was "dead easy" because he had watched his father and the other blacksmiths at work. At first he found it difficult to reach the anvil with the hammer, but this hindrance to his work he soon overcame by standing on a box. It was not long before he was making horseshoes just as well as his father and the assistants. Rings for whiffle-trees were a "pipe to make." He has welded niles of them. "I made eight of those shoes," he said, modestly, as he was quite shy when the interviewer first began to ask questions. "I corked 'em and welded 'em, but I didn't make 'em for any horse. I just make 'em for the fun of it. I give a lot of 'em away to my friends. Some of the men 'round here liked 'em, so I sold them some. Art Jaggers got one, an 'Mr. Snook an' John Beavans an' Fred Layton. There was some others, too." "Cy" has just finished his school term. He isn't going to quit school for blacksmith trade, however, until he has completed his education. The reporter left "Cy" turning the blower in his father's force. PAYS $1,070 FOR 12 POTATOES.

Repetti said he was out that amount as a result of operations of a countryman, one Rice. Both deposited securities, Repetti alleges, in boxes of similar appearance. When Repetti opened his box he found the potatoes. Rice has not been located. TONGUE FENDERS DEMANDED. In Town Where Bouse Lick Crumbs From Peanut Machine Cups. Montclair, N.
