Awake, Beloved," from S. Coleridge-Taylor's cantata, "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," the singing of which Edward Moore, music critic of the Society of American Musicians, said as matter of fine voice, of truly good enunciation, and thorough knowledge of the piece." As an encore the solist sang an Italian number. Thursday night marked the second appearance of George Garner in Orchestra hall, this season. SLEEPING CAR PORTERS! Tips are becoming fewer and smaller every year, sleeping car porters say. That's one reason why Pullman porters are forming a union to demand better wages and better working conditions. The Cleveland local of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is being organized R. Crosswalt and Verney and Frank R. Crosswalt in the headquarters, last week, at the Audun hotel, 1165 W. 11th St. for a four-day campaign here. "At best we get nothing but a harvest of dimes nowadays," said one porter. "Dollar tips are rarer than petticoats now." Crosswalt said a porter had collected only $4.35, recently, during a round trip between the two cities, a noticeable decrease in the money added, after the Pullman company five months ago granted an 8 per cent wage increase said to amount to a total of $1,000,000 a year. The porters' union expects to demand a wage that will make them "independent of tips." Not that they expect to refuse tips, but they want the porters to exercise a pass of "service rendered." The porters' average wage now is given at $70 a month, and his average on tips at $25 a month. The organization of the porters is being effected secretly, it is said. The leaders charge that the Pullman Co. is conducting a nation wide campaign to discredit the brotherhood and that any porters implicated against. They say that 5,000 of the 12,000 porters in the employ of the Pullman company have joined the brotherhood. Obituary. Chillicothe, O.—Fried C. Doll, age 61, for many years a resident of Cincinnati, died here, his birthplace, April 9, 1926. He was one of twelve children of John C. and Mary E.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS What It Means to the Crime, Vice and Disease of Many Northern Cities — Professional and Business Men, Etc. The editor of The Gagete, acknowledges the receipt of an exceptional interesting and valuable new work—a splendidly printed and illustrated bound volume of nearly 500 pages, written and published by out-long time friend and confere, Wendell Phillips Dabney, editor of "The Union", and for many years city paymaster of Cincinnati. The title of the book is "Cincinnati's Colored Citizens; historical, sociological and biographical". In his review of the new book, Alfred M. Cissner of the Cincinnati Daily Times-Star, among other things, has the following to say: "It is estimated there are 30,000 persons living in the "black belt" of Cincinnati. Dabney says in his book that there is more crime, more vice, more disease, than ever before. No 'sanitary cordon' can be placed around this belt and thus keep in the crime, the vice and the disease, the vice and the disease, and cleaned up—cleaned up not in the sense of police raids and arrests, but conditions must be made permanently better. "Dabney tells what he believes is the origin of the black belt and some of the reasons why in recent years it has grown in population and declined in character, the war and the great immigration from the South being outstanding contributors. Poverty, seasonal employment and bad housing, together with residential segregation, and race prejudice, are discussed in the book. So competition is given the pressing on the Negro by white cheats and criminals. "Dabney was for years in Cincinnati politics and he has some revealing pages on the subject. He discusses the public schools, separate and mixed. He tells of the many agencies that are doing a wonderfully effective work among the Negroes, of unselfish men and women, white and black, who toll on despite frequent set-backs and discouragements, often hoping against hope, for breaks in the clouds. "And it not all clouds. There are patches of blue, and shafts of sunshine. Dabney tells of the members of his race in the professions, devotes space to religion, to social activities, to music and athletics. A number of chapters are given over to the history of the Negro in Cincinnati." Nearly every large city in the north, as well as in the south, now has its "black belt" and consequent problems, just like those of Cincinnati, the solving of which a careful reading of Editor Dabney's exceptionally interesting book will materially assist. He has written fully and thoroughly. Therefore, our readers to secure a copy of the book, at once, addressing The Dabney Pub. Co., 512 McAllister St., Cincinnati, O. Another "Piano Marvel". New York City.—Marie Davis is a young girl of this city who is considered a piano marvel. The girl has been studying for some time but not until recently did she make her debut in public with the result that a New York concert manager (white) has arranged for a series of Aeolian flutes and a clarinet that Miss Davis has not even given any thought to the program she will offer at her initial "big time" concert appearance. Suing One of Our Stars. Paris, France—Mrs. Ludlay, owner of the "Negro" revue which played the Champs Elysées music hall, last year, and later migrated to Berlin with Josephine Baker, is suing the latter, a star, for 200,000 francs. The claim is that Miss Baker left the show before her contract expired and signed for the new revue at the Folies Bergere. Asks $5,000. Berlin, Germany—Sam Wooding, leader of the former Club Alabam" band which is with the "Chocolate Kiddies", the revue which has been playing Germany, and which recently received a booking of 10 weeks in Moscow under direction of the Russian Soviet government, attached the show for $5,000 in Paris, France, for money alleged due him on a contract signed with Arthur Lyone, agent of New York. Tuskegee and Hampton Remembered. New York City—Probation of the will of the late Mrs. Anna M. Richardson-Harkness, age 88, years also a resident of Cleveland, O. Died with 5 slips of $500,000 and $750,000 for Tuskegee and Hampton, respectively. IN UNION IS STRENGTH COPY FIVE CENTS RIAL! AGAIN DATED Outcome, Monday, to Govern Disposition of the Nine Other Riot Charges. Detroit, Mich. — Dr. Henry Sweet, brother of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, who is one of the nine charged with the murder of Leon Breiner, a member of the mob during a riot in front of Dr. O. H. Sweet's home at Charlevoix and Garland Awe, last June, will face Monday, if Judge Frank Murphy has recovered from the illness which prevented his hearing the case, last Monday. On the outcome of the case against Dr. Henry Sweet (dentist) will depend the disposition of the trumped-up charges against the other eight defendants. Breiner was killed by bullets, it is alleged, fired from the Sweet home, occupied over the protests of prejudiced white neighbors "egged on" by the K. K. K. Robert M. Toms, prosecuting attorney, will prosecute the case. Daryngar Dawdry, Thomas F. Chawke and Walter M. Nelson. At a previous joint trial of the nine defendants the jury failed to agree on a verdict after a hearing lasting 17 days. The defendants ought never to have been brought to trial. They were clearly "within the law," trying to help Dr. and Mrs. O. H. Sweet protect their new home. RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT. Louis Borno Will Continue in Office in Haiti. Help The Haitians Port Au Prince, Haliit—Louis Borno was "re-elected" president of Haiti on the first ballot", Monday. He was first "elected" on April 1, 1922. Monday's "election" was by a council of state of twenty-one members, appointed by the president of the applicable "American marine" control assistance, and subject to removal by him. The disreputable system has been strongly criticised by the opposition parties who declare it to be just what it is—a method of perpetuating control of the presidential office, so that the "American nation" can maintain main here and continue to "run things" to suit themselves and American interests. "TO ATTAIN TRUE FREEDOM!" The Afro-American must get under the burden of his race to attain true freedom, said Rev. Mordecal Johnson of Charleston, W. Va., in an address at Mt. Zion Cong church, last week Friday night. "If the Negro seeks righteousness and justice at the hands of the white man, he must accept the yoke of righteousness and justice with his own people. His opportunity or creative contribution to civilization consists in this: That he is completely willing to subject himself to the spirit of absolute justice in his own dealings. Economic power will not make the race problem. Money will not make the black man a brother any more than it has the white man. We have a contribution to make to civilization different from the white man, not because we are different color, but because we have a different historical background. The Negro does not exist to be a suppliant. What liberty he seeks is not for an end, but for self-expression". Rev. Johnson said. He condemned efforts to solve the race problem by individual effort and insisted that the race must work for the benefit of opportunity. He referred to the many programs offered our people but declared he did not approve materialism, concentration of economic power, black nationalism, economic revolution, and violence. The solution, he said, lies in the program of Jesus—self-respect, self-expression and fellowship with noble men of all ages. Fisk Students Establish Precedent Nashville, Tenn.-Fisk University graduating classes of 1925 and 1926 established a precedent, this week, in the group insurance of the two classes in the Supreme Life and Casualty Company of Columbus, Ohio. The policies were taken out on the individual lives of the students and Fisk was made irrevocable beneficiary in each case, marking the culmination of a nationwide campaign for the increased endowment of the university. This unique insurance feature was initiated by E. L. Powell, an alumnus of Fisk and West Virginia state manager of the Supreme Life. Paderewski Embraces Hayes Los Angeles, Cal.—One of the most dramatic moments in local animals was inaugurated by Paderewski, the famous Polish pianist, who mounted the platform and embraced Roland Hayes at the close of his recital here, recently. Sweeping thru the vast audience the great pianist, in a voice brimming with emotion, said: "Oh, my dear Hayes, again we meet to enjoy each other's company for a brief period." Mrs. Mattle Sands Clarissio, of Brooklyn, N. Y., is in the city visiting relatives. Her mother is in poor health. HE LOVES ME! HE LOVES ME NOT! HE LOVES ME! HE LOVES ME NOT! WHAT THA? HE LOVES ME!

SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1926. Our contemporaries ought to stick a sharp nail in the "Watt Terry made a million on a 15 cent start" blowbag-tire-stuff they are serving their readers. We sure would like to have seen the great Polish pianist, Paderewski, "in action" at the Roland Hayes concert at Los Angeles, recently. --- Have you noticed, lately, how our musicians, vocalists and instrumentalists, are vieing with our writers, fighters and actors for "a place away up in the limelight"? Well, they are. If the French and Spanish governments have to make peace with the Riffians of northern Africa, as seems more than likely now, LOOK OUT! Nothing, at this time, could give so much material impetus to the slogan and cry "Africa for (black) Africans". --- My! what a political bump the defeat of U. S. Senator Wm. B. McKinley by Illinois Republican voters at the primary, Tuesday, is to the Coolidge administration and other advocates of this country's entrance into the World Court, sometimes designated as the back door of the League of Notions (Nations)! Some expected it, but no one ever dreamed of such an overwhelming defeat. It certainly begins to look like his "excellency", the segregationist President of these United States, is in for a similar "gruelling", a few years hence. Hope so, anyhow. --- The Republican majority in the U. S. senate permits Pat. Harrison. Democratic "cracker" senator from Mississippi, to hold up the confirmation of the appointment of Attorney James M. Cobb as a judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia, succeeding Judge Robert H. Terrell, deceased. Fine (?) spectacle, this. And President Coolidge sits supinely by and smiles; very much unconcerned, if you please, because he made the appointment and imagines that our people will give him credit for it whether Cobb is confirmed or not. Will we? There are many who will not. Are not so easily fooled! KNIGHT ADVOCATES SEGREGA TION. The Akron (O.) Chronicle, in speaking of the things of racial interest championed by Ex-Congressman Charles L. Knight, editor of the Akron Daily Beacon-Journal and a prospective candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, says he "advocated the formation of a Negro regiment of the (Ohio) national guard, officered by Negroes". This will hardly recommend Mr. Knight's candidacy, should he again stand as a candidate, to the intelligent and progressive Afro-Americans of Ohio who are decidedly opposed to all such segregation and discrimination. It would establish a very bad precedent and, too, is contrary to Ohio law. Wonder if Editor Knight also "advocates the formation" of separate or segregated regiments of (Ohio) national guard for the various other groups of American citizens like the Irish, German, English, Italian, etc.? A "GREAT COUNTRY". After burning several of our people's homes and two recently built real-estate offices, Western Tampa, Florida, kluxers posted warning to the effect that our people "were not desired as residents of the community". Indeed! Just as if our people had no rights whatever in the matter of residence in that little town. What hurts is that U.S. constitution guarantees to citizens, regardless of race or color, are daily being trampled under foot throut THE GEEVUM GIRLS the lawless south, not only by kluxers. And the President and the Republican majority in the U. S. congress stand "supinely by" and affect to neither see nor hear. Yes, indeed, this is a great country! U. S. MINISTER TO HAITI. Several times in recent years we have purposely called our readers' attention to the fact that articles in the daily press of the country, sent out from Washington, D. C. and inspired by the U. S. State Department, stating that an Afro-American minister to Haiti was not wanted by citizens of that country, were lies, pure and simple, for which the southern "cracker" government, forced on Haiti by this country, was fundamentally responsible. Now comes the Hon. Perceval Thoby, former charge d'affaires of the Haiti-on legation in Washington, D. C. and now representative of the Patriotic Union of 'that country, with the following statement made just prior to his recent departure for Haiti: "The statement has been made and spread that Haitians would not welcome a colored man as the representative of the United States in Haiti. This is of course, absurd. There have been several colored ministers from the United States to the United States with utmost cordiality. Moreover, when American colored people have emigrated to Haiti, they have found the consideration and the courtesy which was their due, and they and their descendants are among the most despectible of the human kind. He would be glad to welcome, as she has done in the past, a colored U. S. Minister." This removes about the only excuse that the Coolidge administration has for a failure on the part of the President to appoint an Afro-American U. S. minister to Haiti. Now let the "Negro" Coolidge supporters, in the last national campaign, "get busy" and see what they can do to force the President to give our people this little recognition in return for the generous support they gave him. COOLIDGE DUPLICITY. Senators McKinley and Watson of Illinois and Indiana, respectively, and National Republican Committee John Philip Hill of Maryland, close friends of President Coolidge, all have "Negro" candidates for the position held by Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia Froe, a member of the race from West Virginia, whose conduct of the office has been perfectly satisfactory, it seems. Why? The registorship of the U. S. treasury is being held by a prejudiced white Republican (from Ohio, too), one Harvey V. Speelman, who is a pronounced segregationist, something U. S. Senator Wm. M. Butler, the President's right-hand man and chairman of the Republican National Committee, many months ago promised our people of Massachusetts to eliminate from Speelman's and other offices in the governmental departments at Washington, D. C. Strange that our race publications do not seem to see the duplicity McKinley, Watson, Hill, Butler and Coolidge have on exhibition in this effort to oust Froe in order to give his place to a white man. If this is not true, then why is it that no effort is being made to displace Segregationist Speelman with a "Negro" Coolidge supporter, rather than displace Froe? Kip's Daddy Game. New York City.—The cost of printing the testimony and exhibits in the appeal of Leonard Klip Rhinelander's father from the order of Supreme Court Justice Morschauser, confirming the verdict of a jury which denied him an annulment of his son's marriage to Alice Beatrice Jones Rhinelander, of New Rochelle, was more than $5,000.

SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1926. Additional Locals Wm. Brown, 2443 E. 46th St., drew a fine of $25 and costs, Monday, when he appeared in police court to answer to a charge of suffering gambling at 2434 E. 46th St. Twenty-four others apprehended with Brown and charged with gambling were fined the costs, which later were suspended. Brooks Yeager, 3644 Cenner, charged with surreptitious gambling, and even resisted with him on charges of gambling, were to appear in police court later in the day. All were arrested in raids led by Sergt. Harvey Wetzel. But for the thoughtfulness of President G. L. Cheatham, who six years ago promoted The Anchor Life & Accident Insurance Co., of this city, there would have been serious trouble at the annual meeting, last week when officers caused him to have policemen stationed nearby. That saved the day, but did not prevent his enemies from ousting him from the presidency of the company, something they have been trying to do for several years. The meeting was "a hot time." The following new officers were elected: J. L. Cheatham, M. E. Anderson, O. Taylor, sec., and Marion E. Auther, treas. Directors: T. J. Berryman, L. Blakely, Dr. J. H. Cox, G. L. Cheatham, M. E. Anderson, Marion E. Auther, H. Emerson, W. H. King, Garfield Jones, Robert Jones, J. H. Lowery, J. W. Wills, J. T. Smith and O. Taylor. Several stockholders have indicated that they would contest the election as illegally, particularly to contest the seating of two, who were elected directors, on the ground that they were not stockholders of record. Attorneys for the company have advised the board of directors of the illegality of the election and that as a result thereof, a license may be obtained from Mr. Cheatham is still president of the Hope Aid & Relief Association which has been regarded as auxiliary to the Anchor L. & A. Ins. Co. A $1140 A YEAR JOB! Washington, D. C.-The U. S. Civil Service Commission announces the following open competitive examination: Head Nurse.

THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances or relatives of the sick, the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. --- Our advertisers want your Our advertisers want your trade.

Help The "Old Reliable" to increase its circulation! Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, But Give It to a Friend or an acquaintance who Might Subscribe After Reading a Copy of 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 ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, 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 census district in this city in 1903 by dividing white workers into white people, and black workers, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, an announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a situation and not a Democratic one. Negroes are by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is discharged in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored lady appeared after having passed best examination, and having been telegraphed by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon from President Goodidge. From North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregationist Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. it is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to the Times) Washington, D. W., in the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant illumination and physical advantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, 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 the injustice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, com for t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in order to receive a reward and to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered masters to be delivered 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. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent appeals 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 office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept interior 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 catenation in this huge structure in which the employees may go, but there are a few tables in the out-of-the-way room designed for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public huddling 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 to inferior whites mass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of exclusion of our own, so keenly minded the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He as a night-employee, hence married a pistol. He took the dance in a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and 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. By this time our employees are taught that there is a 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, but never given a chance! The defense making 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, APRIL 17, 1926. is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) (Special To The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing 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 former senator of the colony, she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies rested 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 discuaged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the fight, to urge them to continue the fight, or to arrest them 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 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 fullness, under the administration of the party that brahman Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public school system 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 apt 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 be the most suitable 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 banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blain 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 has increased and other taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce 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 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 demand use of them. The department manager, in cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION Washington, D. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, 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 campaign. Investigation of Burcus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus 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 employee Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the War Department. Transportation Division segregated section of 5 employees P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My car is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys; Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. CHARACTER.

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

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: mit violence on a prisoner orgugh from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days in lynching to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob (93 v. 163 11.1). 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 OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of the Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith a Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: The general Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eat- house, barber-shop, public conven- tion, theater or other place of public use, or other place of public use, and amusement, denies to a citizen except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or both. Person aggrieved thereby to be re- served 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 outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to he fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amends. 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. Edward H. The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the letter to the Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for citation editorially. THE LAW OF OHO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. The Truth! What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. DOG MAIL CARRIER'S DEATH GRIEVES "PAL" They Were Never Late and Never Got Any Pay, Not Even So Much as a Dog Biscuit! Phildephia, Pa.—For ten years the mail has ben carried from the Fernwood railroad station to the Yeadon borough post office, a distance of one mile, three times a day, no matter what the weather was. The residents of Yeadon never have had cause to complain of the service and the Government never paid a cent for it. Two sheep dogs did the work. Now one of the dogs is dead, and his "pal" refuses to leave the little mound in the rear of William B. Evans' property. The residents of Yeadon from this day forward will have to allow for human failibility. And the Government will have to send a monthly voucher to the man who gets the job that the dogs filled out of sheer patriotism. It is Collie who is dead. He just naturally passed away. Colonel's piteous moaning brought Evans down before daybreak, and he found Colonel standing across the dead body of Collie as though he knew that the next thing was burial and he wanted to protect his "pal". Evans took Collie's death to heart almost as deeply as Colonel did, and the man and dog stood together as equals, as mourners, while Collie went to his grave. Ten years ago Collie and Colonel started to eat petrials to carry the Pouch came from Fernwood station to the postoffice three times a day, one end of it in In Collie's mouth and the other between Colonel's firm jaws. Only once on each trip did they pause, and that occurred halfway because the two extreme points. No one ever told them the time to go for the mail. When the clock said ten minutes to train time they were off. Postmasters have come and gone in those ten years, but Collie and Colonel kept on. Some one once proposed that the Postoffice Department be appealed to to buy these royal servants of Yee on borough a pair of pretty dog collars. But they never got as much as a dog biscuit! It is said that Colonel cannot live. He must die of a broken heart or if not that, then starvation. For he will not eat. All he does is stand by the grave of Collie and whine and hang his head low. Meanwhile the postmaster is seeking a man to carry the mail. GIRL'S "DEAR FRIEND" IS HER OWN MOTHER Strange Revelation Comes When 15-Year-Old Hazel "West" Is Taken from Her Foster Father. La Crose, Wis.—Hazel "West," fifteen-year-old girl, who was taken away from Fred West, her foster-father, by Judge Brindley because he had neglected her, has found her mother in a woman she had known all her life as a dear friend. Mrs. Fred Green, the mother, appeared before Judge Brindley and told the remarkable story of how she had given Hazel to the Wests when she was a baby because she herself was unable to care for her properly. A mysterious telephone call to the Home of the Friendless, where Judge Brindley placed Hazel, effected the reunion of mother and daughter. The message said that if Hazel would come to one of the downtown stores she would be given a boat. Hazel was downtown alone and did come back. Investigation revealed her at the home of Mrs. Green, who met her at the store and told her the story of her parentage. Mrs. Green is the wife of a railroad engineer. Hazel's father is dead. MAN SEES FIRST TRAIN AND STARTS TO "FIGHT" IT Kentuckian Huris Rock at "Huge Varmint" and Gashed Head of Passenger. Danville, Ky.—Frightened at the sight of the first train he had ever seen George Mason, who lives in the cliffs north of High Bridge, threw a rock at the Royal Palm on the Queen & Crescent Route. Mason declares that he had never before seen a train and that he thought the thing was some sort of "huge varmint." It isn't every man who can crack a joke and extract the kernel without damaging it. It is a commercial crime to discard any piece of machinery and, most of all, human talent, simply because some individual in authority may take a dislike to a peculiarity of an employee. "In order to stop this great economic waste of human effort the individual should be fitted with a job which will suit his temperament." Woodchucks Dig Fence Post Holes Rome, N.
