J.—Tiger Flowers, world middleweight champion, slapped his way to an easy victory over Young Bob Fitzsimmons in the feature ten-round bout at Boyles' Thirty Acres, last week Thursday night. Fitzsimmons outweighed his opponent but he barely won, but it took more than pandency to settle the matter. A crowd of 15,000 saw the affair. Neither his extra tonnage nor the fact that he had the moral support of Jim Jeffries and old Tom Sharkey, availed young Fitz. He had weight, will and ammunition. The tiny things he lacked was ability, and that was enough to lose for him. "The Elites" or "Derclics"—Which The Cleveland Elite baseball machine, which was battered and smashed on its recent road-jawn west, returned, late last week, to the city. And it has so many new players that it hardly recognized it in the first game of a scheduled five-game series with the St. Louis Stars at Hooper field, Sunday afternoon. Miles, Bonner, Branahan, Spearman and Alexander are the only players left who were on the club's roster when it left Cleveland, early last week. They are purchased an entire new infield, consisting of Goldie, first baseman; Owens, second; Woolridge, shortstop, and Hamilton, third baseman. Leonard, Tyler and Miles will be in the outer garden, while the hurling corps includes Ross, J. nson, Walls, Branahan Spearma and Stars bump the local nine, Sunday, to the 18 to 2; Monday the scor was again in their favor. The ther games, later in the week, likewise. Wills-Dempsey Battle, Sept. 16. New York City—Jack Dempsey will start training at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., on Aug 1 in preparation for the next heavyweight champion. Dempsey has been selected and it is Harry Wills. The date has been tentatively set for Sept. 16 and the site will be the Yankee stadium. The prejudiced daily-paper sport-writer lilars favor matching Dempsey with Tunney, whereas the commission insists on Wills, the logical and only winner, the only选手, being Dempsey's opponent, of course that settles it. SPAIN RESOLVES TO QUIT LEAGUE Its Foreign Minister Says a Delegate From That Country Won't Attend Next Council Meeting. Madrid.—The Spanish government has definitively decided to withdraw from the League of (Nations) "Notions", according to declarations made, last week Thursday, by Senor Yanguas, minister of foreign affairs, at a banquet celebrating the promotion of the chief clerk at the foreign office. The minister made it clear that Spain will not send a representative to the September meeting of the league assembly, despite having received many appeals, especially from the South American countries, hot to withdraw from the league. Senor Yanguas said: "Spain has been assisting in the work of the belief that it was an organization created for the purpose of peace, but since it seems to be an organization of war it is enough for those now belonging to continue in it, the collaboration of other countries, such as Spain, being unnecessary." Washington, D. C. —President Borno of Haiti, accompanied by military and naval aids, visited congress, last week Wednesday, observing proceedings of both houses from private galleries. In the house, members on the floor arose as the distinguished visitor entered and Representative Madden, Republican, delivered a message of welcome. He was later received by Speaker Longworth, of Ohio. Vice-President Dawes, of Illinois, received the Haitian president just before the senate convened. Detroit, Mich.—A new form of discrimination was evinced in the Wayne Circuit Court, recently, when Judge Leland W. Carr of Lansing, a city of high legal status, to own property in the Lakewood Boulevard subdivision on the east side of this city, but denied the right of the owner, if a member of the race, to occupy the premises or to place in possession of the premise of man of color. Of course his decision will not stand. R is ridiculous. Hudson, Wis.—A ku klux klan tent was burned after a meeting which ended in a near riot, two miles east of here, last week Monday night, when several hundred men broke up an alleged anti-Catholic lecture. About one thousand persons gathered in the big tent to hear Alfred Brown, billed as a klan lecturer. When the gathering sang "America," a large group of men, most of them from Hudson, refused to stand, though exhorted to "stand up and show your Americanism." --- Borno Visits Congress. A. "Kluxer Decision". Burned Kluxers' Tent. Commission Says Wills-Dempsey. New York, June 22.—Tex Rickard deposited his boxing orphan, the proposed Dempsey - Tunney heavyweight match, on the doorstep of the state athletic commission today, but it was promptly thrown out in the cold. By a vote of two members of the fairness committee, rejected Rickard's application to stage a title bout between Dempsey and Tunney, who is no match for him, at the Yankee stadium, Sept 16, after the promoter had offered to post, on the spot $50,000 forfeit guaranteeing that the winner would box Harry Wills in 1927. Chairman James A. Farley was joined by Commissioner George A. Brower in vetoing Rickard's proposal and making it clear that Dempsey must fight Tunney, the winner of the challenge, before meeting any other opponent, in this state. Commissioner William Muldoon, who does not want Dempsey whipped by a "Negro", cast his ballot in Rickard's favor, of course, but it availed him nothing. So Tex Rickard will have to stage a Wills-Dempsey battle, Sept. 16, or lose his license to fight Tunney in N.Y. state which also means that he will lose the fight-control of Madison Square Garden, a very valuable asset to any man. Let's have prayers for the prejudiced daily newspaper sport-writer liars of N. Y. City and the country. New York City.—A minute or so after Joe Humphries had announced Jack McVey the winner of the recent semi-final event with Friedman, Young Stribling entered the ring, Berlenbach followed a few seconds later and then Harry his number three, and was introduced and given a warm ovation that lasted several minutes. Wills then ambled over to the champion's corner and shook Paul's hand. As he turned and started toward Stribling's corner, Berlenbach and walked toward the neutral corner, pausing miway and speaking to some one at the ring-side. Harry, ignoring the insult, continued his journey and made his exit from the ring from Stribling's corner. Thousands saw the incident and Young Humphries many friends for his caddish display of a woeful lack of sportsmanship. Forty-five Descendants of the Marty Gather at Hudson Farm. Hudson, O.—John Brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave, but his grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren met, Sunday, at his old farm here, to sing Civil War songs, swap anecdotes and brush up on the family genealogy. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bitter, of the connections of John Brown, who now occupy the farm, were hosts. They escorted the forty-five who gathered to the spot "back in the woods" where their noted forebear had his underground railway depot". The Oldest people present were Mr. and Charles Brown of Cana Fulton, O. grandfather, now in their seventies. Washington, D. C.—Lieut. Jay Williams Clifford, son of Hon. Wm. H. and Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, former residents of, Cleveland, O., where Jay was born, is suing his wife, Mrs. Rhetta Wilson Clifford, a native of this city and a domestic science teacher in our local public schools, for divorce, alleging infidelity. Mrs. Clifford, it is said, a male agent against her husband. He is a government employee—in the Internal Revenue service. White American Fools Abroad. Paris, France—Bringing their race hatred to this "true democracy", prejudiced Americans objected to a dancer, "Frisco", dancing with a white woman in the restaurant of the Ambassador Theatre, where Florence Mills' "Blackbirds" are appearing. The dancer against whom the protest was made had no connection with the company, and was found to be a British subject who was dancing with the woman with her husband's consent. Their protest availed the poor American "fish" nothing, as usual in this country. Doings of the Race Ernest D. Cooke has been appointed by Mayor Nichols as assistant corporation counsel of Boston, Mass. Chief of Police Tom Goodson of Houston, Texas, summarily dismissed three officers from the force, recently, because they felt they were too good to walk the streets of that city with Afro-American officers. Howard University is our largest, most complete and best equipped institution of learning of the higher type. It has an enrollment of over 2,000 students of collegiate and professional grade. Mrs. Alice W. McNeil has been Wills. Vs. Stribling. JOHN BROWN KIN MEET. CLIFFORD VS.

He is a Credit, a Credit, a --- New York City.—A distinguished and unique honor was that enjoyed by Dr. Harry T. Burleigh when he was a special guest of honor, recently, at the fourth annual dinner of the Trinity Choir Alumni Association, held in St. Paul's Parish house, 29 Vesey St. The other Special Guest was the Rev. Caleb R. Stetson, restorer of Trinity church, and Mark Andrews, the distinguished organist. Trinity Parish is the wealthiest church organization in America, its holdings aggregate millions, and it has always occupied a distinguished place in the religious life and civic growth of New York City. Many of the most noted figures in American history have been communicants and a roll of its members is a veritable Who's Who. The annual dinner was presided over by Chauning Lefebvre, president, who is the present church organist and choirmaster. Dr. Burleigh is a native of Erie, Pa., and a well-known baritone soloist, composer and teacher of music.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SAYS THE EMINENT MASSACHUSETTS JURIST MOORFIELD STOREY. For Afro-Americans, No Republicans or Democrats; Only Friends, He Declares, and Is Right as All Know—The Need of the Hour! Chicago, June 24—Declaring that for Afro-Americans "there are no Republicans and no Democrats, only friends and opponents." Moorfield Storey, of Boston, president of the N. A. A. C. P., in a message read at the opening mass meeting the last night of the tenth annual conference, urged our people to unite in behalf of their citizenship rights. Mr. Storey who was secretary during reconstruction days to Senator Charles Sumner, and has been president of the American Bar Association, could not come to Chicago because of the strain of work in his advanced years, sending the message read, Wednesday evening. "We represent more than twelve million persons of Negro blood," Mr. Storey's message continued, "entitled under our Constitution and laws to every right that belongs to any American citizen, sure eventually to receive those rights, and they are secured. The need of the hour is union. We must act together, work together, and vote together. We ask no charity, no privilege, only the rights of every American citizen, the right to live unmolested in any house where we have a legal right to live, the right to property against mob violence, the right to a fair trial if accused of crime or involved in any civil controversy, the same rights that any other citizen has in public parks, public schools, and all public institutions supported by taxes of which our taxes are a part. We ask equal hotels, public places of amusements and above all we want the right to vote, for otherwise we are taxed and drafted without representation, the cause of the Revolution which established the United States. How shall we use our votes? The answer is: vote together for men who will work for our rights and for no others. There are for us no Reason to vote for us, and our rights are only friends and opponents. We are tired of promises, pleasant appeals to our gratitude for the acts of dead men fifty years ago. We want what those men did upheld now, we want the Constitutional Amendments which they passed enforced, we want the rights which they gave us recognized, and no man will be able to refuse our rights will receive our support. Let us make this clear and even the fraction of our votes which we can cast will be found a mighty weapon. Our next weapon is the courts of the country. Our experience has abundantly satisfied us that the courts are our surest allies, and we have won many substantial victories. But ever any is infringed our organization must be ready to take the case into court and seek appropriate redress. Finally there is the never-failing appeal to public HIS INVENTION WORTH $200,000 Fresno, Cali—Richard B. Spikes, whose railway inventions have brought him a fortune of $200,000, has recently put on the market a safety cable car brake designed as an alarm for railway accidents and leak accidents. His newest invention has been offered to the California Cable Car railroad of San Francisco and will undoubtedly be accepted. Spikes, now 50 years old, has pat- ented 28 inventions most of which have been used on western railroads, brought $100,000. A brake testing machine patent sold for $20,000. THE ROSENWALD FUND. Nashville, Tenn.—The Julius Rosenwald Fund has contributed up to June 1, for the southern schoolhouse construction program $2,534,514 for the completion of 3,326 buildings costing $14,315,861. OO this amount our people have given $3,007,455, and white friends, $668,854, and from public funds there has come $8,105,038. S. L. Smith, (white), general field agent of the Fund, has just announced that the budget of $450,000 for distribution among southern schools, has been approved by Julius Rosenwald, president of the fund. It is to be spent through the department of education of fourteen southern states. Eucharistic Congress Chicago, Ill.—Rev. N. J. Duckette, and the Rev. S.

When the words of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, and the great band whose spokesmen were Sum- Moorefield Storey, Esg. ner, Phillips, Garrison and their associates are quoted on every side, it is time to ask our fellow citizens what those words mean, and if they are proud to repeat them, whether it is only as a familiar jingle or as words of vital meaning by which they wish to live. The great commandment, the golden rule, which is the very essence of Christianity, does not bid us love our white neighbors as ourselves. Christ does not hate us, but helps us come unto him 'for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.' We flatter ourselves that we are the most enlightened people on earth and are free with our criticism of European nations. Yet we are the only people on earth where human beings are burned alive at the stake, where men, women and children look on with approval and where the murders go unwhipped of justice and walk the streets, while the smell of burning flesh still pollutes the air, the hands and exulting other barbarians. Go through this country and open your eyes. If you are civilized and Christians you cannot help being hogged at the treatment which is visited on our Negro fellows, and at the indifference with which it is regarded. The good people of this country must get together and uproot these abuses or the day will come when the whole country will suffer the bitter consequences. Abuses like those which the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is forbidden from among the tolerated without bringing the punishment which may 'have leaden feet but surely has iron hands'. My friends, let us close up our ranks and press on." BLEASE ON EDUCATION. Those Who Have It Won't Work, The South Carolinian Says. Washington, D. C. "—So-called education has ruined the armer"; said Senator Cole Blease, the windy Democrat from South Carolina, last week Wednesday, in the senate. Speaking particularly of the poor whites, "crackers", of his state, he said: "When a person has a so-called education he won't work. I believe in the proper kind of education but I have seen very few people who calmmed to be educated who ever would work. I have seen old mothers bending over the wash tub and sending money to some son or daughter off at college, and when they get out of college instead of going back home and helping, they go off somewhere else." Decreasing Farm Population Washington, D. C. The pronounced trend of the movement of our people from the rural districts of the South is indicated by the recent U. S. Census of the farm population in that section which shows that during the five-year period, 1920 to 1925, our farm population were decreased by 3,233 while that from the five-year period 005; Maryland, 14,676; South Carolina, 111,270; Kansas, 1,663 and New Jersey, 1,361. $25,000 To Smith College Cincinnati, O.—The board of education of the Methodist Episcopal church, announces that the general education board has authorized an appropriation of $25,000 to our Philander Smith college.

SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1926. Mayor Walker of New York City has re-appointed Ferdinand Q. Morton, a member of the race, as a member of the municipal civil service commission of that city, for another term of six years. Salary, $7,500. The city managers of Cleveland and Cincinnati will please note this carefully. The large number of Afro-American voters in both cities entitles them to representation on the civil service commissions in Cleveland and Cincinnati. K. K. K. PARADE BARRED Cleveland's director of safety, Edwin D. Barry, has notified the Ohio ku klux klan that it cannot stage a parade in this city, when it holds its "state convention" here, in the near future. This is as expected and Mr. Barry is to be praised for the righteous decision. After advertising, in the daily papers of Ohio for several weeks, that another convention down the state, held about ten days ago, was to be attended by 15,000 or 20,000 kluxers, less than 2,000 assembled, "the cold weather" being given as the excuse for the small attendance Slowly but surely the k. k. k. is disintegrating or dying throut this state and the country. BORAH BRAYING AGAIN. U. S. Senator Borah, of Idaho, while addressing the graduating class of the National Law School in Washington, D. C., recently, declared in emphatic language that "emancipation of the slaves at the time they were emancipated was one of the greatest mistakes ever made in this country." This obsolete mis-statement, made often forty or fifty years ago, has been buried so long that only a cheap candidate for a nomination for President, catering to the South, would be guilty of resurrecting it. This is the same Borah that "leading Negroes", some months ago, had address an audience of our people at Howard University. Lord, have mercy! Time and again, in and out of the U. S. senate, has this man struck our people in this same underhanded way. At heart, Borah is anti-Afro-American and it is high time even Washington, D. C.'s "leading Negroes" awakened to the fact. Borah is one of those "half-baked Republican statesmen" who are a thorn in the side of the party as well as our people. KU KLUX KLAN CANDIDATE. Two years ago among the candidates for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio was one Joseph E. Sieber of Akron who was heralded from one end of this state to the other as the candidate of that miserable order, the ku klux klan. Mr. Sieber did not deny this charge, but if memory served us correctly, only qualified it by modestly admitting that he was only one of the organization's candidates. This man has entered the contest again this year and this time is recognized generally by the Ohio press and people as the kluxers' candidate. With full knowledge of the foregoing, the Western Reserve Republican Club, headquarters E. 55th St. and Cedar Ave., right in the heart of the third councilmanic district of this city where is located possibly the largest number of "Negro", Catholic, Jewish and foreign-born Republican voters in any one district in the city of Cleveland, extended this man, Sieber, and three or four other Republican candidates invitations to address it on Thursday evening, this week. The president of The Western Reserve Republican club is Mr. Alex Bernstein, for years a personal friend of the writer. He places the blame, for inviting Sieber to the meeting, on the committee in charge of it. Whoever is responsible for extending Sieber the invitation certainly could not have offered the "Negro", Catholic, Jewish and foreign-born Republican of the third district great THE GEEVUM GIRLS er affront, to say the least. It is an insult such as many of them are not likely soon to forget and which they will surely resent in a proper way at the first opportunity. K. K. K. REPORTERS. The kluxer effort, upon the part of the political news writers of the local daily press, to obscure to the extent of their limited ability the candidacy of the editor of The Gazette for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio is so well indicated in the following letter that we can not resist the temptation to publish it: Mr. Erie C. Hopwood, Managing Editor, "The Plain Dealer", Cleveland, Ohio. Dear, Mr. Hopwood:— The enclosed clipping from The Cleveland Plain Dealer of June 17, "26, says among other things: "This year no Clevelander is running for the Republican nomination for governor". It was written by one Philip Porter, political news reporter of The Plain Dealer. The other enclosure is the list, of all the Republican candidates for nominations at the August primaries, sent out since June 10, 1926, by the Secretary of State who is also Ohio's Supervisor of Elections. Among the names listed as "candidates for the Republican nomination for governor" you will find that of the writer Having been a resident of Cleveland for decidedly more than a half century, having thrice been honored by the voters of this (Cuyahoga) county with election to the Ohio Legislature, and having been an editor and publisher here in Cleveland for the past forty-three years, I feel reasonably sure of being a "Clevelander", one, too, who many years ago knew well Major W. W. Armstrong, nestor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer in those days. Surely, since I have entered the gubernatorial nomination race and after so long a residence in this city and so much of "public life", in addition to having been schooled in Cleveland, I am entitled just at this time to be termed in the columns of The Plain Dealer a "Clevelander running for the Republican nomination for governor". If the young man (Philip Porter) really did not know that a "Clevelander is running for the Republican nomination for governor", what kind of "a political news reporter" is he? If he did know it and deliberately mis-stated the fact, what is the penalty that should be visited upon him? Such "mistakes" do not help The Plain Dealer or any other first-class newspaper, as you know. P.S.—Please see that your political reporter's "mistake" is, corrected in "The Plain Dealer", just as soon as possible, as a matter of fairness and justice. H. C. S. A similar letter, to the foregoing, was sent to managing editor of "The Cleveland Press" which was also guilty of making the same "mistake". The Plain Dealer made proper correction, Tuesday morning, in compliance with our request. We are now waiting to hear from "The Cleveland Press". Many social functions were tendered Miss Ruth Wright, W. $8th St., who is to wed Mr. Raymond Johnson this (Saturday) evening. Mrs. Equilla Morris gave a kitchen shower at Miss Wright's parents' residence; Miss Clara Anderson a bathroom-broom; Miss Johnson, sister of the great tobe, entertained the bridal party at lunchroom; Mrs. Althea Price entertained at a luncheon and linen shower, and Edith and Beatrice Wright, sisters of the bride-to-be, entertained at a supper.

(Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 4, 1924. —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Roosevelt; and president its zenith under 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 10,000 constituents, constituting 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 demonstration of situation and not Democratic one, it was begun by Republicans, and was begun to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. In last week, a colored girl appeared after having passed been 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 and President Coolidge. He has the North Carolina, the name of the other favorite and leader of the segregated forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, it is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under difficult humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings at the more when they are abducted that they are far harder than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whiles and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfort table 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 room, its segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the alleys. And all this must the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster, generated a response to the was 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 connection to a directive president. The red, unyielding position passes whites over him, one of the other another, though many of the colored employees have won tests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest 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 a lot of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved 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 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, the inferior white pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of exclusion of our employees so keenly that he joined 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. The nigh-immortal he carried right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealment for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe 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, by the knew informants informants knew for so have never given a single name!! The desire then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government THE GAZETTE. CLEVKLAND. O.SATURDAY. JUNE 26. 1926 is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness (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 his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people, and who was not terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight for democracy over the city, Oswego Village 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 Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other city. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these positions, the inevitable result of segregation, the people are still hoppy, the issuance of an order destroying in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impaire the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them, the one with the highest authority and the most influential new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scare 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 toilet, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for their own reasons. The few are 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. The class can come to rest, dine, and socialize at afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spars; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registries of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and be poor, with no other opportunity to get a job, 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 university we have the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, beaver board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on beaver board walls through 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 Burcause An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that their 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 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 filibuster Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. Our Department. Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!" Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of his power to expose it, and, if possible smite it. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. I live life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!" "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public concession, land or water, theater or other place of entertainment 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 not more than ninety days, or both, except whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law 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 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, C., April 25, 1819. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this city I have received separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($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 a lawsuit. THE BW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. The Truth! What would cause other people to grush 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. ORATORY AND CHICKENS. They Proved the Undoing of An En- terrising Citizen of Wisconsin COVINGTON, Ky. — Henry Clay Shelby, the prize orator of Genoa Junction, Wis. and its former lover of chickens the feathered variety— is under arrest in Covington, charged with having swindled the Citizens' State Bank of Genoa Junction out of $750 by means of a forged check. His dual affection—for chickens and for spell-binding oratory—and the tails of two prize winning Rhode Island red chickens brought about his arrest. Shelby didn't waste the $750 he is charged with taking in investigating the ventilation systems and safety appliances of cafes. If he had he might still be delivering orations in Genoa Junction. Instead he purchased the two Rhode Island reds—a pullet and a rooster, both prize winners at the Kankakee, Ill., fair. They cost him $375 each. When the Pinkerton National Detective Agency learned of his alleged forgery a representative was sent to Genoa Junction to learn about Henry Clay. He was told of Shelby's fancy for chickens and oratory. A canvass of commission merchants on South Water street, Chicago, brought out the fact that a man answering Shelby's description had purchased the two prize winners, which had been used for advertising purposes. Shelby was traced to Lake Geneva, Cedar Rapids and other Iowa towns and was arrested in Covington. He had exhibited the chickens in every town he visited. When arrested he was found to possess more than the $750 he had received from the bank, according to the charge. The money and the chickens will be turned over to the bank. The Pinkerton detective lost trace of him in Woodstock during the pursuit. The chickens had arrived all right, according to way bills on file at the Chicago and Northwestern freight office, but the detective could not learn where they had been shinned from that city. While wandering about the yards one day he found two feathers too glossy and beautifully colored to belong to any Woodstock chickens. A little further away he found some more. Following the feathered trail he came to the office of an electric railroad and discovered the chickens had been shipped from there to Lake Geneva. Shelby will be taken to Genoa Junction and given a chance to say goodbye to his two Rhode Island reds, which will become the property of the president of the bank. SUES FOR HIS PLACE. Ohican Who Thinks He isn't Getting A Square family Deal. CINCINNATI, O—Suit to regain his former place at the family table, and all comforts befitting an aged man in his own home, was brought in the Superior court by James Lynch, Sr., 70, a veterinary surgeon and live stock auctioneer. He complains that, after working for thirty years, buying a $12,000 home, and putting it in his wife's name, she compels him to sleep in a poorly furnished rear room, will not let him eat at the same table with the other members of the family, and for two years has refused to cook for him. He says she has advised him to go to the city infirmary. He asks that the court declare him a half owner in the property to save him from the infirmary. THE APPLE SURPLUS. Use It Up By Making Apple Syrup And Concentrated Cider. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture has discovered two new ways of utilizing surplus and cull apples. One is the manufacture of apple syrup by clarifying and boiling down apple juice. The syrup obtained promises to be a welcome addition to our diet, as well as affording a new market for the apple grower. The other method of disposing of the apple surplus is the manufacture of concentrated cider. Hitherto the market for cider has been limited, because it can only be kept sweet a short time, and its bulk makes transportation too expensive when long distances are to be covered. Concentrated cider ferments very slowly when kept at a low temperature. When diluted with water it has practically the same flavor as the original apple juice from which it was made, and its condensed form makes it much cheaper to ship. Rolls Two Miles with Broken Leg. Rapid City, S. Dak.-Forced to roll over and over for a distance of two miles, with a leg and an arm broken, after he had been buried twice at the bottom of a shaft, both times digging himself out with his hands, was the experience of Bert Miller, a mining expert, who went to inspect a shaft at Silver City. The flesh on the fingers of his left hand was worn to the bone and amputation was necessary.
