New York City—Efforts of Humbert Fugazy, promoter, to sway the New York state athletic commission from its edict that Jack Dempsey must meet Harry Willis, Sep 16, and before he meets any other fighter in this state, were a failure, Tuesday.

BISHOP GREGG DECLINES PRESIDENCY. Washington, D. C.—Bishop John A. Gregg, former president of Wilberforce O. University, following an informal conference of bishops of the church, the recent commencement exercises at Wilberforce, has declined to accept the presidency of Howard University, recently tendered to him by its trustees. Separation of Bishop Gregg from his parochial duties was alleged to be beyond the jurisdiction of the board of bishops of the church. It is said that the acceptance of the Howard, presidency by a bishop would be an act of the church, inasmuch as the bishops of the A. M. E. Church are usually required to serve first as college presidents. OUR CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR! Rev. J. J. Burr Stars "The Ball Rolling" in Southern Ohio—Church and Personal Reference. Ripley, O. — The Second Baptist church, Rev. R. P. Wilson, D.D. pastor, had a grand rally Sunday, March 13.75. Rev. J. J. Burr of Hillsboro preached three excellent sermons. He is a "live-wire" and a great race man. He spoke in behalf of Hon. Harry C. Smith's candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor at the primary election, Aug. 10, and urged our race to support him. This is one of our leading churches in southern Ohio, with a wide-awake pastor and congregation. Both races work together, in harmony, here. Rev. Burr also spoke in behalf of Mr. Smith's candidacy at Georgetown, Friday night, at the second Baptist church. There was a large audience. Both towns have excellent talent. Dr. Burr was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Taylor in Georgetown—Prof. Chas. Boyd has purchased property at Wilberforce. He was supervisor of ofr public schools at Charleston W. Va., for over 20 years and have excellent talent. We are all proud of him. The A.M. church will soon begin the erection of its new house of worship here. Mr. James Captain and grandson of Hillsboro were here, Sunday. STATE COMMITTEE ENTERTAINS Columbus, O, June 21, 1926. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio.

Smith. A REAL VICTORY FOR OUR GIRLS! New York City—The New Bedford, Mass. branch of the N. A. C. P. has established the right of our girls to use the Y. W. C. A. swimming pool in that city. The vote of the Y. W. C. A. according the swimming pool rights to our girls was taken affectionately by Mrs. Joseph S. Webster, secretary of the New Bedford N. A. A. C. P. It was voted that; "The board of the Y. W. C. A. wishes to go on record and states that there will be no discrimination in race, creed, or color, as long as girls and women strive to uphold the purpose of this association." The fight against the swimming pool discrimination was upheld by both the New Bedford Evening Standard and the New Bedford Times, local dailies. Deplores Segregation. Chicago, Ill.—The problem of residential segregation is the foremost issue affecting relations between colored and white citizens of the country, he said, on Tuesday in a statement addressed to "the American people" The association, concluding its annual conference, denounced segregation of our employees in government departments at Washington, D.C., and wired independence of party allegiance by our voters. Spirituals Popular Abroad Spirituals Popular Abroad. Birmingham, Germany. Afro-American spiritual works are becoming increasingly popular in Germany. While critics trown upon jazz and jazz symphonies they hall the spirituals as the greatest American contribution to modern music. Edna Thomas of New Orleans, scored such a success with a program of Afro-American songs that she consented to give a second entertainment with elaborate music. Thomas was accompanied by Miss Constance Piper, daughter of Edgar B. Piper, editor of the Portland Oregonian. Hampton Gets $25,000. Hampton, Va.—Under the will of Mrs. Arabella B.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WILLIAM ENGLISH WALLING, LIKE MOORFIELD STOREY, URGES NON-PARTISAN VOTING. Mrs. Addie W. Hunton On the Organization of Our Women to Protect Our Citizenship—Editor Wm. E. DuBois Asks Freedom and Support for Our Artists—All Interesting. Chicago, Ill., June 29.—Speaking, last night, before a mass meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. in 17th annual conference here, William English Walling, writer and lecturer, declared that we must look for salvation elsewhere than in party politics. Mr. Walling agreed that our people vote independently of established political parties. demonstrated their desire to support the organization, but the time is now ripe, we believe, for a positive affirmation of their readiness to stand behind it in a more united way than ever before. Mary B. Talbert, the late president of our National Association of Women, held her torch aloft against lynching and the women in every part of the Umi- "As a persecuted minority the colored people must vote for their friends absolutely regardless of party," declared Mr. Walling. "And that is exactly what they are doing in every northern state. When there is no friend to be voted for and no enemy to be voted against, a colored citizen may vote for 'his' party. But even then he knows it will be hard to vote for the party, for the election and in that one state. In the neighboring state he knows very well that that same party may be in the hands of the Ku Klux. And he doesn't know who will control 'his' party in the next election. Non-partisan voting is comparatively new and there is not always a full realization of what it means. It means, first of all, that the people must give first consideration to their own protection and in advance a broad enlightened spirit. No true friend of the colored people, whatever his politics may be, can honestly urge them to do anything else. You must consider yourselves first. Is this narrow or selfish? It is not. If each social group voted intelligently and with true vision for its own highest interests we should have an ideal commonwealth. It is not the general interest that each group should attend to, but business—provides that business is not conceived in a small-minded or shortsighted spirit. By attending or not get anywhere by attending to one another's business. But is this all that is needed to make the ballot effective? Can the colored people confine their attention to their own interests thus broadly against those who want to deprive the voters of all effective power over the social structure. They must be prepared to fight shoulder to shoulder with the other democratic forces for the direct primary and every other democratic institution and they must be prepared to fight each and every economic interest and political reactionary that is opposing the development in other words, every issue but one may be subordinated to the interests of the colored people viewed in a large way. But there is one issue—and one only—that can never be subordinated and that is political democracy itself. When the ballot is threatened or weakened or made ineffective, the foundation of all political action is under stress. And that is precisely the issue between the expressive and the reactionary. The colored people can and should be non-partisan to every other issue. They cannot be non-partisan to the issue of popular government." Our Women Organized to Protect Citizenship. Mrs. Addle W. Hunton, of Brooklyn, N. Y., president of our Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs asserted that upwards of 100,000 of our women, throughout the country, were organized to protect our citizenship and civil rights and would enthusiastically support the women and the A.C. being waged by the N. A. C. P., "When American slavery ceased," said Mrs. Hunton, "nearly two million colored women were thrown out into a civilization not only hostile for the most part, but in which they were also the most misrepresented and most misunderstood factor. As a matter of self-preservation, the organizationized the value of organization and almost at once they began to form societies for mutual benefit and protection. This was no doubt the real beginning of the club movement among colored women, although it was almost 30 years later that our National Association of Women was formed and began a real unifying of women's interests, a new identity and an intelligent women of vision so systematically organized that it begins with the local club, penetrates through state, section and nation into the great International Council of Women. It is only reasonable to expect that the N. A. A. C. P., the outstanding organization doing effective work on issues affecting women, to have behind it the full force and power of the largest organized group of colored women in the world. Already these women have IN UNION IS STRENGTH COPY FIVE CENTS NSHIP PARTY POLITICS CLING, LIKE MOORFIELD N-PARTISAN VOTING. in the Organization of Our citizenship—Editor Wm. dom and Support for All Interesting. demonstrated their desire to support the organization, but the time is now ripe, we believe, for a positive affirmation of their readiness to stand behind it in a more united way than ever before.

DuBois. from hers and there was such a light thrown upon that horrible crime that the nation knew it in shame. This worthy effort of Mary B. Talbert has left its challenge for us. Knowing the spirit and heart of colored womanhood I predict that segregation, disfranchisement and the other evils which nullify the rights of colored citizens will receive their severest defeat when the womanhood of the race enthusiastically organizes its next crusade to help the N. A. A. C. P. in its fight for real citizenship for all colored Americans." Du Bois Asks Freedom. Asserting that the art and creative ability of the race, manifest throughout history, was now coming to expression in America, Dr. W. E. Du Bois, editor of The Crisis, speaking at the closing meeting tonight, urged freedom and support for our artists. Du Bois said: "It has long been a truism that Afro-Americans are gifted in music, but it is not so widely recognized that the 'Negro' as a race has always exhibited peculiar artistic ability. The great sphinx at Gizeh has the face of a black man he have long been known in Ethiopia and Egypt. Further than this, in black Africa, in the great valley of the Congo and on the West Coast, artisans and artists have labored for thousands of years to express beauty in form and song. The slave trade did much to distort and kill this natural artist temperament, and it has been argued. First, in the music which became the only 'Negro' folk-song, and then in the dance, and finally in our day it has come to more and more articulate expression through the spoken and written word. What now are the helps and criteria of these new beginnings. First, of all, art must have freedom. It must not be hampered, on the one hand, and the other, on the white audience and its desire for lewd entertainment. And on the other hand, it must not be shackled by the sensitiveness and natural recol of black folk from the hands and walls through long experience has laid down. Next to this, the artist must have support. The Afro-American, as a race and in accordance with his numbers, does not read books, does not support periodicals, does not buy pictures. All this we must learn to do. We ought to have four or five magazines with a circulation of a hundred thousand each, our weekly newspapers ought to have a half dozen magazines ought to have a half dozen dailies; and above all, twelve million people ought regularly to buy two million books a year, and drawings and paintings and musical compositions in proportion. Only in this way can we give to the world a new Afro-American art. Such an art being free and having adequate material and skill such a fertile field before it—tragedy in much modern world has seldom surpassed, comedy of exquisite depth and appeal, new and unusual beauty in contrast, color and tone. The age of Pericles and the 15th century had scarcely finer appeal to gifted souls." --- HERE'S A TELEGRAPH OFFICE, SIS! ---- I WANT TO WIRE MY SWEETIE A TELEGRAM!

SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1926. What salaries are paid the N. A. A. C. P. secretary and his assist- ant and Editor DuBois? The N. A. A. C. P. raised its more than $70,000 "Sweet" legal defense fund so quickly and easily that it has now launched the raising of a $1,000,000 fund to fight segregation, 'jim-crow' cars and disfranchisement, the last vestiges of slavery. Nearly all of the $70,000 fund came from our people. According to the daily press, State Representative Ross P. Buchanan, of Carrollton; Joseph A. Sieber, of Akron, and Myers Y. Cooper, of Cincinnati, are all Ku Klux Klan candidates for the Republican nomination for governor. Cut this out and pin it in your hat for reference between now and the primaries, Aug. 10, 1926. It is said that Bishop John A. Gregg desired to accept the presidency of Howard university, Washington, D. C., but was prevented from so doing by jealousy, other bishops of the A. M. E. Church refusing to grant him the separation for a year or two years from his parochial duties he desired. If this is true, it is most unfortunate, indeed, not only for Bishop Gregg, the A. M. E. Church and Howard university, but also for all of our people of this country. Congressman L. C. Dyer of Missouri blames the Republican U. S. senators, especially those on the judicial committee of that august body, for the death of the McKinley-Dyer anti-lynching bill, some weeks ago. Southern Democratic members' influence with northern Republican members of Congress is gained principally thru social intercourse and accounts largely for the defeat of not only the McKinley and Dyer anti-lynching bill but also for the defeat of about everything vital that concerns our people that comes before any one of the three co-ordinate branches of the government—the executive, judicial and legislative. The Republican President fails us just as do the U. S. supreme court and the congress. Emanuel Ross, the youth condemned to death in the electric chair for complicity in the murder of Isidore Steeck, Central Ave, confectioner, more than a year ago, must alone pay the extreme penalty. The supreme court, to whom the lad's attorney appealed in the hope of staving off the death chair, refused, Tuesday, to admit his case for review, and within a few days will set a date for execution. Ross, now eighteen years old, was only seventeen when captured and tried for the killing of Steeck, which took place during an attempted robbery of his confectionery store. An older companion in the holdup, King Young, was tried and sentenced to life. Ross, through his lawyers, claimed Young was the instigator of the crime, and said he directed Ross to shoot. Our Cleveland Council of Women put up a determined and splendid fight in an effort to save Emanuel's life. Friends of both races in this and other communities helped them financially and otherwise. What did their Councilman, Tom Fleming, the man who ought to have gone to the front for them, do to help them, the women of the Council? We failed to see or learn that he evidenced any interest whatever in their most commendable effort. FINKLE, FLEMING AND THE K. K. K. Recently, when Councilman Herman Finkle was inweighing against granting the Ku Klux Klan a permit to parade in this city when their state convention meets here, where THE GEEVUM GIRLS was Councilman Tom Fleming of the eleventh ward, the only Afro-American member of the city council in Cleveland? Sitting tight and quiet, as usual, emulating "Silent Cal". There is good reason for the silence of both—not the one, however, usually given. Neither Tom nor Cal will ever become round-shouldered as the result of carrying about an exceptional amount of courage, brain-matter and ability. The hoods and "night-shirts", forming the regalia of the K. K. K., are not the main reasons for denying them a permit to parade, but two other things are. First, their sworn allegiance to the hooded organization over and above that to their country. And next, their miserable effort to capitalize hatred and prejudice, both religious and racial. Tom should have been in the fore-front of the battle with Republican floor-leader Herman Finkle and the fact that he was not proves several things, beyond all question or doubt. One is he lacks courage. Another is he lacks ability, and still another is, Tom is "boss-ridden" like all of the other "organization" Republican and Democratic members of the city council of Cleveland. New School-Music Head. Washington, D. C.—Alfred H. Johnson, former teacher in the State Normal School at Cheney, Pa, has been appointed director of music in the District of Columbia schools, effective, July 1, succeeding Miss M. E. James, who has been occupying the position temporarily. TOOK GIRL'S WEAPON. Thief Seized Her Hatpin Before Trying To Rob Her. JAMAICA. N Y—Miss Annie Klever, a music teacher, of 200 New York avenue told the police that she was attacked late in the evening as she was walking from a trolley car to her home by a masked man, who pulled the hatpin from her hat and threw it far away. He did this to keep her from jabbing him with it. He had evidently had some experience with other girls he had likely assailed. After that, she said, he pushed her into a vacant lot and tried to take her purse from her coat pocket, but her cries brought aid and the thief ran away. NOXIOUS ANIMAL LIFE. Unexpected Abundance In a Densely Populated County. PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Bounties amounting to $1,750 were paid out for noxious animals caught in this County from January 1 to November 23, 1914. This was principally for red foxes, minks and weasels, which practically make up the class of animals for which bounty is paid. Two dollars is paid for each fox, $2 for each weasel and $1 for a mink Allegheny County has a population of about 1,100,000, of which 635,000 live in the city of Pittsburgh. There are many other cities, boroughs, villages, and thickly populated townships. The county is traversed by railway and trolley lines and by hundreds of miles of good roads, over which there is a heavy constant movement of traffic. In the midst of a life so busy, with human activity on every hand, it is difficult to realize noxious animals are so numerous that for their slaughter the public treasury of the county paid out nearly $2000 in 11 months. Yet this is the fact. GOOD USE OF FORK. Nevada Woman Dug Her Way Out of Jail With One. RENO, Nev—Mrs. May Slaughter, wife of a Nevada rancher, who seven months ago, dug her way out of prison with a table fork, was returned to Winnemucca recently in charra of Sheriff S. G. Lamb, where charges of cattle rustling and jall breaking are pending. At the time Mrs. Slaughter escaped from prison she left a note saying she would return in time for her trial. She was on her way back when arrested here. After she freed herself from jail Mrs. Slaughter walked 125 miles to her husband's ranch, procured a horse and rode 1,400 miles through Nevada, Idaho and Washington. She passed Sheriff Lamb without being recognized, and at last went to Suganville, Cal., to adopt the 5-year-old daughter of Mrs. Grave Walters, a friend who had died. The girl Eile Walters, went back to Winnemucca with her foster mother. Bill Davis and Ed Stricklin are in state's prison for cattle stealing, but the grand jury did not indict Mrs. mother in connection with the crime. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.SATURDAY, JULY 3. 1926. THE BEAR CAT OF VERA CRUZ Such Is The Nickname of One of Uncle Sam's Fighting Sailormen. COULDN'T LEARN TO QUIT When He Had Been Wounded Three Times He Quit For Repairs, And Then Returned To The Line To Be Again Thrice Wounded. PITTSBURGH.—Among the men stationed in this city at the United States Naval recruiting office, is H. R. Nickerson, boatswain's mate of the battleship Utah, who was wounded six times when the American marines had their notable scrap in April, 1914, with the Mexicans in the City of Vera Cruz. But Nickerson, who is known as the "bear cat" of Vera Cruz, is a little shy of reporters. Ever since he stood in the streets of that southern seaport and tried to stop all the Mexicans and Mexican bullets that came his way, he has been interviewed until he simply will not say any more. Nickerson, you know, is the man who was wounded thrice early in the fight for the town, went to the rear, had his wounds treated, refused to go to bed, and went back to the front of the fight and accumulated three more wounds. Unfortunately, the last Mexican bullet shattered his left leg and it became necessary to amputate that member. He walks around now, fairly accustomed to his artificial leg. When Admiral Frank F. Fletcher was reporting upon the men who had distinguished themselves in behalf of their country, like Abdou Ben Adhem, "Nickerson's name led all the rest." Admiral Fletcher had this to say of the hardy tar who now makes Pittsburgh his home: "H. R. Nickerson, boatswain's mate, second class, of the battleship Utah, was slightly wounded three times during the fighting of April 21, and after first aid bandages had been applied he took charge of a squad of men who, under nre, built an advanced barrier. He then occupied a dangerous position at the corner of Zaragosa and San Miguel streets, where he was again wounded three times, two shots shattering his left leg above and below the knee. "He was then carried to the rear and it was later necessary to amputate his leg close to the hip. His courage after having been wounded three times and the bravery he displayed when his many wounds made it necessary to carry him to the rear, were an inspiration to all the men who saw him." Nickerson was awarded a medal for his bravery, given a gratuity of $100, and promoted to the first class, boatswain's mate. "I am a lot better off than the men who lose their legs in the mills," he said. "Now I have a pay of $88 a month, and could retire now if I wanted to. But when I complete the 18 years that will have made me see 25 years' service, I will be able to retire on full pay. I will be a chief petty officer then with a salary of $98 a month, in addition to the disability pension of $55 which I will receive. In other words, I shall have $153 a month, a lot more than most men get, especially after having a leg torn off." THE BIGGEST FLAGPOLE. Is 222 Feet Above Ground And Has No Guy Ropes. SAN FRANCISCO.—The giant Oregon fir tree which has been shaped to make the largest flagpole in the world has been raised at the exposition grounds at San Francisco. Owing to its great weight and length, the pole was extremely difficult to handle, and the work of getting it into an upright position has roused as much interest as any other single construction feature at the exposition. The pole stands 222 feet above the ground, and the gilded star at its top rises 10 feet higher. Ten feet of the butt is set into a solid block of reinforced concrete weighing 200 tons, which will be of sufficient bulk to hold the pole unright against the highest winds without the assistance of guy ropes or other supports. The flagpole itself weighs 35 tons, the log from which it was trimmed having weighed 50 tons. Three derricks were required to erect the pole. The pole was given to the exposition by the citizens of Astoria, Ore., and was floated down the coast to the exposition grounds more than a year ago. It will carry a great American flag 46 feet long, also given by the citizens of Astoria. HOMELESS CITY BOYS. The New York Aid Society Tries To Make Farmers Out of Thieves NEW YORK—Street boys picked up in this city by the Children's Aid Society are not sent direct to farms anywhere in the country, but are first trained for farm work at the society's Brace Memorial Farm of 150 acres, two miles north of Valhalla, N. Y. In addition to a school house, infirmary, laundry, dairy, barns and the usual farm equipment, there are at Brace Farm three dormitories accommodating 150 young farmers, although lack of funds has kept the number down to seventy the last year. There is not even a fence around the farm to keep the boys from running away. They may leave whenever they want to, but the majority take naturally to their new mode of life, as the figures show. Out of the 1,061 boys sent to the farm in 1913, 535 proved worthy to be placed on regular farms after six weeks of training, the older ones receiving wages at once. Of the remainder, 186 turned out to be runaways and were persuaded to return by their parents, while the rest were sent back to New York as "Unfit for good homes." "Many of these, however, will doubless appeal to us to return and will be given another chance," says the report. The society also maintains four lodging houses for homeless boys and one for girls in this city, and in these 6,319 youngsters were sheltered last year. These houses have kept hundreds of homeless children from becoming criminals, the report says, as the police records show that few of those who were sheltered were arrested. The Superintendent of the lodging houses found employment for 2,015, while 189 entered the army and navy, and 483 runaways were returned to their parents in other cities. Twelve day and nine night industrial schools are supported by the society in conjunction with the city. At these regular schools instruction is given, lunchons are served, shoes and clothing are distributed, dental clinics are held, and the children study some useful trade. The average daily attendance was 6,173 and the total cost for the year was $225,825, or $37 a year for each child. GAVE UP HIS OWN LIFE. But Saved The Brother He Had Accidentally Shot While Hunting. SUNBURY, Pa.—To save the life of his brother, Motley Rugles, whom he had accidentally shot while hunting and was dying of loss of blood, Robert Rugles of Point township, Northumberland County, submitted to a blood transfusion and gave up two quarts of his own blood. Doctors declared the injured boy would recover while the other would die because he had lost so much blood. While going through an alder copse Robert's gun was discharged, and wounded Motley. Half crazed with grief, the brother carrier and dragged Motley to their home, more than a mile away. Doctors rushed him to the Mary M. Packer Hospital here, where Surgeon W. L. Shindel declared that a blood transfusion would be his only chance of recovery. "I am ready," declared Robert, and in a few minutes the brothers lay side by side on an operating table with the fresh life fluid going from the strong into the weak body. The herculean exertions of Robert in getting his wounded brother to his home had so exhausted him that his own recovery from the great drain of blood was impossible. Highland Farms, the Rugles home, is one of the show places in Central Pennsylvania. NIGHT SCHOOL IN PRISON. All The Common Branches Taught To 130 Nebraska Convicts. LINCOLN, Neb.—Night school has been established in Nebraska's State prison. There 120 inmates gather in the classrooms for instruction in shortbed, typewriting, bookkeeping and all common school branches. A number of men are taking extension work from the University of Nebraska. They receive no credit for this work unless after release, they enter the university as regular student's.

There is no chance for a Ku Klux Klan parade in Cleveland, City Manager William R. Hopkins has written H. J. Carroll, Prospect-Fourth bldg, of the hooded (K. K. K.) organization. He said that a city ordinance provides that the chief of police shall have authority to refuse or grant permits, and that since Chief Jacob Graul had refused it, he had no power to take any action. Sheffield (England) which in the past made "long" razors for almost the whole world is now equipping itself for producing—not in single thousands but in multi-millions—the wafe blades, made of patent cobalt steel, that are used with the popular safety razor. Many of Sheffield's firms are now and steel and Fitzwilliam Works, which leads, has an output of about a million blades a week and employs about 750 girls alone. The safety blade trade, big as it is, is simply the fore-runner and exponent of a new movement to produce a whole range of super-cutting implements. The patent cobalt steel is intended to be applied to the whole range of cutlery because of its remarkable cutting properties. The Fitzwilliam Works, managed by Mastis, Dapinw and the success in the cutlery as well as in razor blade industry. Pocket knife blades and table cutlery will be available in a few weeks. Local "high potentate", H. J. Carroll's statement, published in the daily papers, last week Friday, to the effect that the ku klux klan, if permitted to parade in this city during the sitting of the organization's state convention which is soon to convene here, would be willing to parade in the organization biner H. Goldman's proposed route through Central, Scovill and Woodland Aves, has drawn the following comment from one of our local readers, a resident of ward 11: "Why not parade in the 4th district (Goldman's district rather than the third district, Scovill and Woodland Aves.) Considering the lack of police protection, and consequent encouragement of crime, given the residents of the third district, it compares favorably with other sections of the city. Why does not Goldman suggest a parade in the 4th district where the police would be jackets" homes and where hijackers and bootleggers stage many battles (E. 105th St. for instance, a few days ago). Two years ago among the candidates for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio was one Joseph E. Siebel 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. Siebel did not deny this charge, but if memory served us corroborating 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 kluxes' candidate. With full knowledge of the foregoing, The Western Reserve Republican Club, headquarters E. 55th St. and Cedar Hill, near Chicago, admitting that he was only one of the 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, Siebel, and three or four other Republican candidates invitations to address it on Thursday evening, this week. The president of the Republican Reserve Club is Mr. Alex Bernstein, for years a personal friend of the writer. He places the blame, for inviting Siebel to the meeting, on the committee in charge of it. Whoever is responsible for extending Siebel the invitation certainly could not have offered the "Negro," Catholic, Jewish and foreign-born Republican of the city of Cleveland amount to the least. It is an man 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.

COOLIDGE PERMITS IT! 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 today and more has ever since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Kaff. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the white in this city (40,000) restricting white people, white people, and black to black, 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 Republican institution and not a Democratic institution it was begun as a Republican, and carried its all-embracing exertion by Republican. There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only a week, a colored girl appeared after having passed, been examination, and having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina, the leader of other favorite and leader of the segregation force. 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 Gazette) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages to do the same, maintaining a pacious cafters for those 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 lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms are segregation, and the bathrooms are even attenuated to the toilet. All of all faces against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he invited me to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. 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 handling of manpower. Colored clerks have died to form a union which men is regularly and often sends family 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 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 the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge restaurant 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 castle positions. Here, elsewhere, the inferior whites pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work fell for the company of the young employees so keenly that he secured 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. A nigh-commute, he carried the police. 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 falling 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 such an immediately disbanded. 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. I knew the fate these informants, would suffer so I have never given a single name of the person in 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, JUNE 26.1926. is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.-Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and ordered her for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our loca a 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. Our group was at the office 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 Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. Our girls are GATED by their rest rooms, toilet, 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 and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior girls to the 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 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. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, the colored largest department of the treasury, compares 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 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 colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to 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 poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at work 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, beaver board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed, and ended up a little during the campaign of Burcures An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Registrar of Employees Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department. Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. Seperate 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 bounds of the law, 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 McNells, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) RACE PREJUDICE1 "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. It justifies and holds to together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." —H. G. Wells. OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law Our mob-violence or anti-lynchmen seem very effective.

(93 v. 163 11.) This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith 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: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation may be a citizen, except for reasons appropriate to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be limited not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay and may be fined five dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be rearranged 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 Beaty replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory --- Akron, O. April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I am pleased to separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries in administration. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, B. 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. Moorefield Storey, Esq. 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 of the night of the association's seventeenth 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 a journey in the advanced years, sending the message read, Wednesday evening.
