And Remind Him That It Was the People's Money the Government Loaned European Countries During the World War—The U. S. "Has Been Fair and Generous," Says Willis. FRESH OHIO NEWS Columbus, O.-The plea of former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker of Cleveland for cancellation of the interallied war debts will receive no support from Ohio's U. S. Senators, Frank B. Willis and Simeon D. Fess, for both senators are outspoken against the Baker opposition for few days ago, Senator Willis said: "The question with reference to cancellation of the foreign debt, relates back to old-fashioned Ohio honesty. It is perfectly evident if these debts are canceled they must be paid by someone. If taxpayers in Europe are relieved of the burden, it means the burden will be transferred to the shoulders of American taxpayers. If there are those who feel foreign trade should be encouraged by creating a better feeling on the part of European buyers, why do not these people cancel some of their own obligations rather than call upon the people of the United States to wipe out the foreign debt. Our government has been fair and generous; it has gone as far as it will be, there will and ought to be, no cancellation of foreign debts." Fess Opposes Cancellation, Too! Senator Simeon D. Fess also disagrees flatly with the Newton D. Baker policy and view-point as to readjustment of international war debts around a conference table. Senator Simeon said: "Our part in the war was definite and decisive both as to purpose and results. Whatever be the causes which led the entente into war, the United States entered a conflict to defend her rights as a sovereign CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write their names and that of their city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies.

The suggestion that we make a gift of the nearly ten billions of dollars of loans is unwise frighten every man, with both Europe and America. No government can endure that plays false with its honor and works positive injustice to its people. No country can continue to be either an economic force nor a political power in the world that disrespects its credit, ignores its duty or abandons its honor. Hard bargains should not be exacted, but fulfilment of obligations in the negotiation with the European countries required both in the interests of the creditor as well as the debtor country. The creditor country, forgoing all spoils of war, cannot be asked to make a gift of the people's money, nor can the debtor countries which have claimed and secured the spoils of war ask for such a gift.

Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Dear Sir:—This is to advise that the manager one Isadore B. Cohn, Of The Delicacre Co., 45 Public Square on Sept. 2, refused to serve me a meal, stating that by doing so he would injure his trade. This was at 2 p. m. At 3 p. m., the flying-squadron of the Cleveland Police department was taking him to jail. The case came up for hearing before Judge Thomas E. Green, Sept. 3, and was continued, upon the request of the defendant, until Sept. 15.

We, the people, are paying DuBois to employ his fertile brain and tren- chant pen, not to add new colors to the rainbow, not to tint the lily in more delicate hues but to wage everlasting and unceasing warfare in securing to us complete liberty and justice. The Association that employs DuBois should insist that he keep in strict line of his duty. The Crisis has no need of prose poets and musicians at this time. It already has suffered from the soft touch of effeminacy. It needs some red blood, some vision, some courage some hope. The great mass black people cannot be well served by moon-calves and dreamers.—Chicago Whip. HER COLORED BABY Caused the Lynching of Her Boy-Lover By That Wytheville, Va. Mob—The Girl Refused to Accuse the Victim. New York City—A person in the town of Wytheville, Va. on the day Raymond Bird was murdered by a mob informs the N. A. A. C. P., that the boy had been employed for several years by a white man, working on his farm with his daughter. Their working together caused comment in the neighborhood. Finally a baby was born to the girl. She made an appointment with the boy and the baby. He took it to the house of friends who are at present caring for the infant. The mob stormed the jail. The sheriff, knowing the weakness of the jail-door, had asked that the boy, who had been arrested on a charge of "assault", be removed. This request was disregarded by the authorities and to accuse the boy in charge to accuse the kid. In spite of this he was lynch-murdered. DOINGS OF THE RACE Of the eleven judges and three deputies on the World Court four are colored. Dr. W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce, former president of the University, is critically ill. He has been confined for several weeks. The trustees of Tuskegee, Ala. N. & L. Institute have received a legacy of $294,506.58 from the estate of the late Helen L. Beattie, who died last June. Myles A. Palge, a young New York lawyer, has received the Republican nomination for the state senate in the 19th senatorial district which includes Harlem. Andrew "Rube" Foster of Chicago, president of our National Baseball league, was placed in the psychopathic hospital there, last week Wednesday. Insanity is feared. Sesquil-Centennial bronze medals, stamped with the likeness of Col. Charles Young, have been issued as souvenirs by Rev. W. H. Coston, former U. S. Army chaplain. John W. Dobbs, of the U.

There have been twenty lynch murders during the first eight months of this year and there were only eighteen all last year (1925). Three white men lynched, thus far this year, and none last year.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS RESULT: MARCUS GARVEY IS OUT! AND "ROASTED TO A TURN" BY HIS SUCCESSOR IN OFFICE. Other New Officers Elected Recently—"Chief" Weston's Strong Statement on Taking Office—Says the U. N. I. A. Was Misrepresented—Very Interesting. New York City.—The U. N. I. A. in annual session here, last month, criticising what they termed the mal-administration of Marcus Garvey, elected entirely new officers. Resolutions were passed in respect to his misconduct, misuse of official power, swollen ambitions and misappropriation of funds given him, five years ago, to purchase Liberty Hall. The new officers are: G. O. Marke, potentate; Wm. L. Sherrill, supreme deputy potentate; George A. Weston, president general; Casper Holstein, chancellor; Wesley MacD. Holder, secretary general; Rev. John C. Simmons, chaplain general; Edward V. Marles, international organizer; Wm. H. Ferris, commissioner of education and propaganda; W. O. Smyer, commissioner of industry. Garvey Denounced! Branding Marcus Garvey, founder and former president general of the Universal Negro Improvement association, as a "reckless squanderer of funds and promoter of disruption." George A. Weston, the president general of the organization, has issued a statement denouncing the methods of the former chief in no uncertain terms. of our policies and drawn down upon us their unmerited emmity and opposition, while his scandalous activities have cast on us the contempt and ridicule of thinking people. He and the unscandalous benchmen have driven away and prohibited from participation in the activities of the association various individuals, whose experience, integrity, educational attainments and high influential positions especially fitted them for useful service, and worst of all he sought alliance in the name of the association with organizations whose programs and activities are imbalanced to the larger interests of our race. Garvey Met Klan Leaders. Reference to the "organizations with a program inimical to race interests" is thought to mean the Ku Klux Klan, with whose guiding factors Garvey once held conference. The statement concludes with an appeal for better fellowship and outlines the embarrassment the association has suffered through the former leader's conduct, as follows: George A. Weston, the president general of the organization, has sentenced to serve a term of imprisonment in the U. S. penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., after a fair and impartial trial. During his "Our immediate past is marked with many failures", Mr. Weston says in his statement, "and large sums of money, collected for the operation of the organization, have been misappropriated, recklessly squandered, frittered away in unauthorized ventures, or paid out in exorbitant salaries to Marcus Garvey and a few self-seeking scyphants." Order Misrepresented. Discussing further the shortcomings of the former leader, now serving a term in the government prison at Atlanta, Mr. Weston says: "The reckless utterances of Marcus Garvey and numerous pleas by responsible administrative positions, have given to the constituted nations of the world a false conception of our ideals and ROSS DENIED A NEW TRIAL! A new trial for Emanuel Ross, whose two weeks' stay of execution expired, this week, Friday, was denied, Wednesday, by Common Pleas Judge Walter C. McMahon. Ross' attorneys immediately said they would appeal McMahon's decision. Theo the Court of Appeals were unable until Monday, Atty. Alex Martin said the judges were in the city and he would bring the case to them before Friday. Ross' attorneys demanded a new trial on the grounds that he was only 17 when he was alleged to have committed the crime and was subject to Juvenile Court jurisdiction. Judge McMahon said Ross was arrested in Chicago and later in a confession to police here. McMahon ruled: That Ross waived any right to trial in Juvenile Court by not entering a plea of abatement. Instead he pleaded guilty. That Juvenile Court has no jurisdiction over felonies, while Common Pleas Court has jurisdiction over all felonies. That in case Ross were subject to Juvenile Court jurisdiction, all that court could do would be to commit him to Common Pleas Court. Atty. Martin claimed if Ross' case was disposed of before Friday the fact it was entered on the docket of the Court of Appeals automatically constitute an additional stay of execution. Judge McMahon said he believed another reprieve by the governor would be necessary to keep the youth from paying the death penalty in the electric chair at 9 p.m. the day after. Ross was given a day of execution a few hours before the time scheduled for his death as the result of a desperate last-minute fight by friends and local organizations. The governor's reprieve was based on the word bosas corresus by Common Pleas Judge Samuel Silbert, two weeks ago, yesterday. Major Arthur Brooks Dead Major Arthur B. Brooks Washington, D. C. Stewart at the White House and valet to all the Presidents since Wm. Howard Taft's time, Major Arthur S. Brooks died, Tuesday, after many months' illness. Recently, President Coolidge told friends he regarded Major Brooks as one of the finest men in Washington, and Tuesday at Paul Smith's, N. Y., he reiterated to callers his high opinion of the character of the man. The death of Major Brooks, it was added, was a great, loss to the White House. IN-UNION WE IS STRENGTH E COPY FIVE CENTS K.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1926. Our Ohio Civil Rights law was “tested” in the State Supreme Court, many times, YEARS ago and found good law by that august body. ‘Therefore, the “testing” pe- riod, as far as it is concerned, has long since passed. This for the benefit, particularly, of a local ‘con- temporary (if it has been resur- rected). —ii— i ‘The editor of The Gazette has received an invitation from Prof. Jesse Lawson, president of the Na- tional Sociological Society, to ad- dress its congress of members of both races to be held at the na- tion's capital, Sept. 19, 20, 21 and 22, 26. There will be both day and evening sessions, the last three days. Dr. Lawson js also presi- dent of Frelinghuysen University, ‘Washington, D. C. ‘The Gazette wants to compliment Atty.

Entirely too many, some socalled Intelligent “Negroes”, accept such ingults and denials without proper protest (in the courts), thus en- couraging them and making it hard- fer and harder for the great mass of our people to get their rights fand privileges under the law in many public. places. Said lament- able failure also causes a steady increase in the number of such “public” places. More “Gilles- pies” are sadly needed in this and every other community in the state where there are any considerable humber of Afro-Americans, these days. —ilt— NEED FINANCIAL DEVELOP- Sen, In a recent issue of the Indianap- olis Record, the editor called at- tention to the dearth of business ‘enterprises conducted by our peo- ple in his home city, and said: “In the commercial world of the Ne- gro, Indianapolis is second to the tail- fenders. We have nothing in the Way of financial, developnient—ab- solutely nothing", and the editor asks, “What is wrong with In- dianapolis Negroes”? ‘The same thing that is wrong with those of the great majority of cities and towns in which they are thickly populated. Ignorance and long years of service for dthers is the combination that prevents. the growth of a disposition to enter legitimate business of any kind, to any appreciable extent, and there- fore makes impossible the deyel- opnient of aptitude for the same. he exceptions, among the ten mil- lion Afro-Americans, are too few for serious consideration. Thus is explained the “Negro’s self-exclu- sion from the vast fleld of urban and city (business) opportunity." a “LISTEN, G. 0.

Nor will this latest mild and inoffensive protest ‘be paid any more attention than the many that have gone on before in the last fifteen or twenty years, Whenever the Republican party, in state or nation, has won by large majorities or pluralities, immediate- ly there is developed among its leaders a*fecling that the party is not dependent upon the “colored vote” for success. ‘This feeling in- creases with the growth of said majoriites or pluralities. The re- sult has been the loss by our peo- ple ot about all the “recognition” in the way of worth-while Presi- dential appointments, and others, the race received at the hands of the party, long years ago. Pleas for something like fair treatment of so potent a factor of the Repub- lican party as ours is and protests galore in the many years gone by have availed nothing and will not bring the desired results in the immediate future as only a dummy could fail to see which way things political for us have been drifting for years and particularly ever since the advent of Coolidge-ism which means the control of the. party by Coolidge “Republicans”. It is perfectly clear to The Gazette that if we are ever to get any- where in the “political sun” we will simply have to change from pleas and protests to ACTION of @ positive nature and in order to do this we will have to force into the background the servile, gratt- ing, “bootlicking Negro leaders” (so-called) who. represent our peo- ple as being satisfied whenever they or some of their friends are given a little notoriety, money or the promise of a few insignificant jobs. That, Editor Geo. W. Harris, is the only thing that will ever make the “G. O. P. listen”. HOOD FORCED OUT. When the Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, U. 8. minister to Liberia, At ‘rica, left that country so unexpect- edly and returned to this country Just as unexpectedly, some months ago, soon after the Firestones of ‘Akron and other wealthy Ameri- ‘cans, also captains of the rubber industry in this country, got con- trol of thousands of acres of land in Liberia, upon which were many thousands of rubber-trees already for use, The Gazette said Minister Hood was being forced out of his ‘position, and that he would be suc- ‘ceeded by a white American who ‘would do the bidding of the afore- mentioned American captains of the rubber industry in this country, without the consideration for the interests of the Liberians that Min- ister Hood early evidenced, to his own detriment. And we repeat the charge at this time because a white man was placed “in charge” almost before Minister Hood left Haiti. This case is going to be similar to that of Haiti! whose Afro-Amer- jean U. S. minister was replaced by a white American representa- tative, some years ago, who has been kept there ever since re- gardless of the protests of our peo- ple of this cotintry. American rep- resentatives (southern “crackers”’) composing the U. $. control of Haiti, ever and anon send the stereotyped le to this country that the Haitians (black people) ob- pect to this country’s sending an Afro-American as a U. S. minister to their country. ‘This ie has been accepted, in toto, by the Wilson, Harding and Coolidge administra- tions because they desired to cater to American finanelal interests and other captains of industry who real- ly control the government when it comes to all phases of financial and other ‘business, matters. ‘The report that the Rev. Solomon Porter Hood returned to this country and has remained here, so many months, be- cause of illness is the same old story (for the same old purpose) that the state department of this country has used for many, many years. It is to be hoped that when Minister Hood's connection with the government's diplomatic service is finally severed, he will have the back-bone, courage and manhaod to, tell, at least, Iris own people, the | truth, the whole trath, and nothing but the trath in connection with his recall and practieal dismissal from ine diplomatic service of the U, 5.| government.

New ‘York City.—Busitey _Gra- ham outpointed Chick Suggs in the ten-round main bout held at Madi- son Square Garden here, last week ‘Thursday night. It was a brilliant exhibition of boxing science. Gra- ham was named the leading con- tender for the bantamweight title by the state athletic commission and he proved that the body made no mistake. He was out in front all the way and had a decisive mar- gin at the end. Suggs, no doubt, was slowed up from entirely too many fights, this year. His manager is making the same mistake that Walk Miller made, early last year, in the case of his “meal-ticket”, “Tiger” Flowers, but who was warned and awoke in time, giving “Tiger” a long rest before his second battle with Harry Greb. Result: a championship for ' the “Tiger” and Miller. If Chick Suggs had been at his best Graham would never have won the contest of last week Thursday evening. Ra Ae ia) headin: New York City.—Supreme Court Justice Walsh, last week Thursday, denied the motion by Jack Demp- sey’s attorney to vacate two war- rants of attachment obtained by Dempsey's former tmanager, Jack Kearns, against money and prop- erty owned by the heavyweight champion. Kearns claims in his suit that he is entitled to recover $333,332.34 from Dempsey for al- leged breach of contract to fight Harry Wills and Gene Tunney, be- fore his term’ as manager expired, early last Thursday morning. Jus- tice Walsh also denied a motion by Dempsey's attorney to compel Kearns to increase the amount of bond filed by him in his suit. ‘This Is a financial knock-out for the pseudo “champ”.

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 and People of This Country Continue to Stand for This Sort of Thing? Washington, D. C., (Special).—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 Katt. 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. reception to the heads of departments including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announces dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the post office employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. arried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was come on, and he ordered the post master to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks go around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would expire 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 inhabitants in this city in an instructing white white people, and black to back, 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 situation and in a Democratic one it is by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. On my week, a colored girl appeared after having passed an 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. North Carolina, the home of the other members, and leader of the segregation 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 monospace in 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 items of the Constitution which has the "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postfive segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferla for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, 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 white clerks the comfort of their work and setting them of as though they were lepers. The justice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whives and neglects of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, a comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a re- eception 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 arrived a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come on, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks gee 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 cases. The coloured staff are told to form a union which meets it 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 print office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme on segregation. Some of the best and highest of our girls are forced to accept interior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are seen off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large caterain in this huge structure where all of the employees may go out of the way, a few tenants may out of the way, and 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 nu-lization 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 law of segregation passes 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 of work, and a knowledge of this excursion of our 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 behave in the dance and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. 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 to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons. By this 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, and I could should suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1926. scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government so well settled upon it, and the authorities cannot bear witness to it. (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. Woodrow Wilson to House, a member or his family visited 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 upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a woman of color." Overseed people to stay in their place." 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 discured aged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Observation of the 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 ait together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its ruliness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Doug gass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGRETE the teachers, the teachers, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, 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 inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. The people are so shaken for the issue that in order to stop this inquisitive practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies and was the first president to story 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, deviled the national banking system which financed the war. He was also the chief officer, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blain from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless 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 scarce there that they can be notated. The department is empower 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 toileters, 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, times, and are forced to long sit in the room when they stare the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national drive. way, 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 with friends and allies with space t. spare; but not one Negre! 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 nilled 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 the wrong, but economic stress compounded 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 registrar 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 office again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus regated section of 7 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. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. 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. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of evor in the world." —H. G. Wells. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C.

OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS THE COUNTRY IN EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also His Ohio Civil Rights Law Section 0278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 0279. "Serious injury" defined. 0280. Damages in case of assault. 0281. Damages in case of lynching. 0282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching 0283. Person authoring death or injury by mob trying to lynch another 0284. Limitations of action. 0285.

County's right of action against another county. 0289. Non-resolution from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1834 and re-introduced in 1896. It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mow" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mow upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob and assaulted with whips, clues, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault occurred (93 v. 161 4). Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in the velumbo by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars (93 v. 162 5). Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mourn, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children present, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a moo. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynchings, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7.) Section 6285. An order to the commissioners of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.) Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge. If the fund not more than $10,000 dollars, counsel sets in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.) Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal representatives of a person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the person's property, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to com- been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows. DBS. eed. g. representative of victim of lynching injury by mob trying to lynch another. and costs in tax levy. s. most member of mob. most another county. mit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came on the part of officials or such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty days county in failing to protect such prisoners or dispurse such mob (93 v. 163 11). Section 6238. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of the magazine we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith. 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. 12340. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barbershop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable akin 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 nity dollars nor more than five nity dollars, or both more than ninety days, or both more than 12 hours, except the next preceding section shall be denied not less than nity dollars nor more than five nity 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 been 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 treaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Journal published an editorial to write about the Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor: The New York Journal. O, Richard My Dear Sir: Observe you letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. 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 administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. ```markdown ``` Our advertisers want your trade.

My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. * * * * * * * * Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper.
