New York City—Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander, cheerfully doing housework in her parents' home in New Rochelle after two months in Europe, paused long enough, last week, to say that "It's my own business whether I still love Kip Rhinelander or not." She reiterated her determination not to disobey whose father sought to separate them legally because of her race connection, and would not say whether she saw Rhinelander while in Europe with her mother. They had just returned. "And don't ask me what I bought over there, either, please," she said. "All I have to say is that I am glad Alice's father has moved into a more modern house in front of the home they occupied in Pelham road during the famous trial. The new home has gay awnings and equals in appearance many of New Rhineland's most modern show places. The new home was a surprise for Alice, and both women lost no time in indulging in an怒 of housecleaning after their arrival. 2.000 YEARS' ARMY SERVICE. Washington, D. C.—When Senator Ralph H. Cameron of Arizona, who recently reviewed the Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fifth Infantry at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., comprising two of the four famous cavalry units of the army, requested all soldiers with more than 20 years' service to their credit to step out of line, he was deeply impressed when 80 veterans quickly marched forward, having an average of more than 25 years' service, or a total of 2,000 years in the ranks of Uncle Sam's Army.

Who Gave Their All in the World War—There Were One Thousand in That Great Conflict —Premier Lays Wreath On Soldier Memorial. Toronto, Ont., Can.—An event unique in the annals of Canadian history occurred, recently, when the entire membership of the Seventeenth General Assembly of the British and Irish hosts of visitors held a memorial service in the Ontario Parliament Building in honor of Canada's Colored heroes of the World War, whose memorial tablet is immediately opposite the Hall of Legislature. The impressive services were led by General Superintendent (Rev. S. R. Drake, of the British, E. Ch. Craig, of the Canadian) assisted by Bishop Clement of Louisville, Ky., and Rev. Dr. Atkins, of Philadelphia. As the rich harmony of the singing vibrated through the great halls the wheels of government stopped, and the legislators and their staffs crowded the corridors. The Hon. Howard Ferguson, Premier of Ontario, tenderly laid a large wreath upon the Memorial and addressed the gathering. There were 1,100 Aco-Canadian soldiers in the various Canadian regiments during the late war, many of whom were decorated for bravery. They were not segregated in separate regiments as was the case in the U. S. A. E. F. ANOTHER SIGN OF PROGRESS. Chapel Hill, N. C.—Charles C. Spaulding, Jr., son of the president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., was one of the speakers at the recent Y. M. C. A. conference at the University of North Carolina, five times an Afro-American student had ever spoken at this great institution. Just back from the World Y. M. C. A. conference at Helsingfors, he spoke on "World Outlook" as seen from that notable gathering, where from his national audience were presented his addresses was in fine spirit, thoughtful and splendidly expressed, and was heard with great interest and appreciation. Wills-Sharkey Contest Brooklyn, N. Y.—Harry Wills apparently held John Sharkey (white) of Boston too cheaply in his estimate of the latter's ability to box and fight and as a result to train as thoroughly as he should have condition, that obtained in the recent Dempsey-Tunney fight at Philadelphia. The result in both fights was the same. Dempsey lost and Wills lost, the latter in the 13th of a 15 round bout, and onoul too. Wills received $50,000 and Sharkey less than half that sum AMENDMENT! COHEN FOR WILLIS! Tells What the Senator Did For Him and All of Us—Vote For Willis. New Orleans, La., Oct. 10, '26. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. My dear Harry:—I know you will not feel that I am imposing on our friendship by writing to you in the interest of Senator Willis. While I am not a citizen of the great state of Ohio yet the voice Senator Frank B. Willis and vote of a senator from Ohio affects every citizen of the Union. This was best evidenced when my name was before the U. S. senate for confirmation as Comptroller of Customs for the port of New Orleans. The vote on my confirmation was 39 for as to 38 against. You can readily see how important was the vote of Senator Willis. The two Democratic senators made "personal objections" to my confirmation and such objections have always been respected by the other senators. In my case not only did Senator Willis disregard the "senatorial courtesy" by voting for my confirmation but made a speech in my favor. My fight for confirmation was my personal one, but a race fight as the opposition to my confirmation was based solely on account of my being a colored man and my victory was a race victory. I am writing to a number of colored voters in Ohio urging them to give their vote and support to the candidacy of Senator Willis for re-election and I could not leave you out. Trusting you will lend your influence with the colored voters to the support of Senator Willis, I am. Yours sincerely, Walter L. Cohen, U. S. Comptroller of Customs. New York City, Oct. 4, 1926 Editor, M. A. Ameri The Afro-American, Baltimore, Md. "Dear Sir: I am writing to inform you that a most barbarous crime has been committed on an eleven-year-old girl in Haiti by Leuteman O'Donnell of the United States. The little victim is Christine Bonhomme, whom Leut. O'Donnell put in his automobile and drove to the woods, where she was criminally assaulted with all the savagery imaginable. When two or three hours after the little girl, drenched in her blood, was dropped into a street she could not stand on her feet and was left in a hospital, where her condition was said to be serious. Though Leut. O'Donnell has been identified by his victim and has admitted, himself, the commission of the crime, no steps have been or are being taken to bring him to trial, he being protected by the gendarmerie and by High Commissioner Russell, no loss to know when President Obama will fit to stop turning a deaf ear to their cries of distress and put an end to lawlessness and exactions in the Island. Since the unjustified occupation of our territory, we have known but unfair treatments, sufferings and humiliations. "I beg to remain, dear sir, 'Yours truly.' Joseph Birault, "108 W. 141st St. N.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS AUTHORIZED BY LAW AND CAREFULLY PREPARED BY A COMMITTEE. The Popular Vote Primary Gives to Every Voter the Right to Help Select Public Officials—Do Not Fail to Vote Against the Proposed Amendment on Nov. 2. Amendment on Nov. 2. Columbus, O.—Arguments against the constitutional amendment abolishing the direct primary are supposed to be advertised by the state, under law, but no appropriation has been made for this. They have been prepared by a committee and are herewith given: Argument Against Primary Amendment The constitution of Ohio provides that nominations for elective officers shall be made at direct primary elections, except such as may be authorized by petition. This constitutional provision should be retained because. Of the rights given to every individual voter of the state to participate in the selection of public officials. 2—The "right of suffrage" is one of the fundamental and basic principles of democracy. No legislature act should jeopardize this right. 3—The proposed amendment would surrender a constitutional right for a legislative enactment. The former is fixed, definite and certain, the latter, variable, vague and unconstrained and subject to frequent change. The proposed amendment should not be adopted, because: 1—It would virtually nullify the primary election system of Ohio. She Says Our Women in the South Suffer From White Men's Attacks—Taught School There For Many Years. New York City—Following Prof. Wm. Pickens' recent letter in the N. Y. Tribune, nailing the old lie that white women cannot walk with safety in the South for fear of attack, a white woman, Dr. Carrie Bartlett, has written the same newspaper, asking, "I never received from a Negro man or woman anything but the most perfectly courteous treatment, but I learned from the colored maids of the friend with whom I was living of a situation for which I wish we might find a remedy. These colored women are afraid to go on the streets alone after dark because of the danger. Most of the maids go home at night. They believe that they do not have as good police protection as do white women, and for mutual protection get together and go home in groups. It seems to me that it is the colored, not the white women of the South, for whose safety we should be concerned." And Dr. Bartlett is right, LYNCHED AN INNOCENT MAN! Right After the Court Had Handed Down a Case the creditor of Not Guilty. Aiken, S. C.—A special grand jury took up again. Saturday, its inquiry into the lynching here of Clarence, Demen and Bertha Lowman, the day before, who were taken from the county jail by a masked mob (K. K. K.) and shot to death. The lynching followed a directed verdict of not guilty for Demen Lowman on the charge of conspiracy to murder in connection with the slaying of Sheriff H. H. Howard in April, 1925. He had been re-arrested on a charge of assault into the interior of a building held in jail at the time of the lynching. The other two were also on trial again for the sheriff's murder. Sheriff E. Robinson told the coroner's jury that he arrived at the jail shortly after the delivery, but -was unable to recognize any of the masked men in the darkness. In a statement at Columbia, last week Friday, Gov. Thomas McLeod deplored the affair and promised a thorough investigation. Miss Viola Hill, coloratura soprano, of Philadelphia, will give a recital at Mt. Zion Cong, church, Monday evening. The 45th annual session of the Northern Ohio Conference of the A. M. E.

A number of visitors as well as ministers are in the city attending it. St. John's and St. James' choirs are furnishing the music at the daily and evening sessions. The annual sermon was preached by Rev H. E. Bissie A. Liverpool and Major W. T. Anderson welcomed the conference, the Bishop responding, Mrs. Sada J. Anderson is president of the missionary department of the conference. IN-UNION IS STRONGER COPY FIVE CENTS ENT! S ARGUMENT AND CAREFULLY PRE- COMMITTEE. y Gives to Every Voter the public Officials—Do Not insist the Proposed The nomination for United States senator and every state, district, county, township and municipal office would be subject to legislative contention. So far as those officers are concerned the primary would be available. I would remain in firm only as a means of choosing delegates to political conventions. 2. It in no way decreases the cost of the present primary system. The choosing of delegates to political conventions would necessitate the same election machinery and expense as is now required for all primary purposes. 3. Unless the candidate for public office depended upon the county political organization, his expense in running for district or state office would be vastly increased. Instead of making a direct, personal campaign he would be compelled to sponsor a state of delegates who would represent him in the several counties of the district or state. The men and women elected under the primary system, with few exceptions have been able, courageous, efficient public servants and compare most favorably with those under the convention plan. Commissioner JOHN E. EDWARDS, J. H. T. GORDON, ALLEN C. MCDONALD. Madison, N. J., Oct. 14, 1926. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir,—Pardon my delay in acknowledging receipt of your very welcome present—two copies of "The Old Reliable." I am doubly thankful. 1st, to be remembered. A busy man like you is generally supposed to "waste no time" on anybody except where the immediate returns make it worth-while. This is especially true of political editors, of which class you are one, and an exception! 2nd, to be informed that you had not retired but took an active and prominent part in your recent primaries as a candidate for office. You know "The Old Reliable" had reached another milestone in history without mishap, and was still going strong! Allow me to congratulate you on your record as a man, and success as an editor. As a man you have been loyal to the interests of the race and its manhood rights more than to the accumulation of personal profit or of hypocritical praise. As an editor you have set your business in that New paper was always published on time. You "kept faith" with your subscribers and for that reason God has honored the paper with a long lease of life and usefulness, guaranteed to but a few. Remember, Caleb and Joshua were the only men (20 years of age) who left the Egyptian bondage and reached the promised land out of a multitude of land and in My prayer to you was in Psm. 12:7.8; and my desire in Acts 20:32. Conclusion: Pardon these lines. I have not said what I wanted to say, but I do add this: Are you training your successor? Have you, under your care and keeping, some one to fill your place, some one to carry on the work in the same spirit? Moses had Joshua (Josh. 1:1-3; Moses had Solomon (Josh. 1:32-5); and Jesus had the apostles (St. John 20:19-22). Elijah's mantle fell on Elisha. Is the young man, you've chosen, safe? Faithfully. Your friend. Re. Geo. Wilson Brent. ELECTED FOOTBALL CAPTAIN. Boston, Mass.—Charles B. Ray, a football star, who weighs only 150 pounds, is the first Afro-American ever elected captain of a Bates College (in Maine) football team. For two years, he has been chosen unanimously to the "all-Maine" college football team. He is a versatile player, being starred not only for kicking but for forward passing and carrying the ball. Ray is popular in college, also, playing center-field on the college baseball team. He came to Bates College from West Chester, Pa. Other members of the race who have been football stars at American colleges include: W. H. Lewis of Amherst and Harvard; Drew A.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1926. That memorial service held in Toronto, recently, for the Afro-Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in the World War, fighting in unsegregated regiments, is very pleasing and satisfying indeed to Afro-Americans, too. The recent opinion of a Grand Rapids, Michigan, judge (K. K. K. inclined) in a civil rights case—that a theatre is not a public enterprise "but is private property with the right to conduct its business privately the same as any other private citizen transacts his own affairs"—is so at variance with the facts, and so contrary to the decisions of many other judges of the common pleas and higher courts, that it is positively silly. That Michigan judge ought to be impeached, at once, if it is possible. The Gazette is indebted to Dr. E. Duvall Colley of Cincinnati, a candidate for Congress in that district against the Hon. Nicholas Longsworth, speaker of the House of Representatives, for one of his window portrait-hangers and other campaign literature. Every Afro-American voter in that congressional district ought to support Dr. Colley's candidacy for reasons well known to all of us. The editor of The Gazette certainly wishes him success and keenly regrets his inability to vote for him. We call our readers' attention particularly to the state's argument against the proposed amendment to the popular vote primary law, given on the first page of this paper, and want them to call their friends' and acquaintances' attention to it also. The editor of The Gazette has had so much to say, in recent weeks, along the same line that it is hardly necessary to repeat at this time. On election day be sure to vote ON on that proposed amendment, and between now and then tell all you come in contact with to do likewise. Judge Marcus Kavanaugh of the Superior Court, Chicago, says: "Sixty per cent of the murders at Cincinnati are committed by Negroes who number only 10 per cent of the population. Negro homicides there, last year, totaled 54. In Chicago where the Negroes number something over 3 per cent of the population, the Negro homicides reached 134." The judge says that most of the Negro crimes are committed by Negroes who have recently come from the South and who have not yet been sufficiently influenced. Clearly the judge has not heard from Cleveland's 11th and 12th wards, to say nothing of the rest of the city. Just wait until he does. ON THE RIGHT SIDE! If Ohio women voters have not as yet given concrete and forcible evidence of the wisdom of giving them the ballot (and we are not saying they haven't), they sure are doing so early in the "primary fight" now on. Their stand, out in the open, at this time in favor of the "popular vote primary"; for a later date for primary day and for a shorter ballot shames both party organizations and many male organizations similar to our women's state and local bodies. Doing away with the popular vote primary and returning to the old convention plan should not be permitted because to do so means to make it easier and cheaper to purchase nominations for state and local offices and of course makes it far more remunerative for the bosses of the conventions, with less worry and trouble for the purchasers as well as sold bosses. Ladies, that is the crux of this fall's movement to practically kill the popular vote primary in Ohio and many other states. Certain in- THE·GEEVUM GIRLS dividuals and corporations, who do not appear on the surface, are back of the movement and for reasons stated. If the voters of Ohio are wise and not misled by the "corporations and bosses", certain daily newspapers of the state and the country, this latest assault upon the popular vote primary will fail just as others have. It is sure encouraging to see the women voters taking the lead in the effort to defeat designing political bosses and unscrupulous corporations that wish to control not only all our candidates for offices but all elected officials, also. COURTING PUNISHMENT! Elsewhere in this paper will be found a letter to the Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American, written by Mr. Joseph Birault, a native of Haiti, protesting against the crime in that country, committed frequently by American soldiers. The Gazette has several times in the recent past called attention to when urging our government, of which the Congress is a part, to recall its marines and end that unquitous and barbaric southern American Control of Haiti. We trust that the National Equal Rights enague, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Association for the Advancement of Afro-Americans and all other organizations of both classes of Americans, that have any regard at all for decency and childhood of tender years, will hound President Coolidge and the members of the Congress with the ease of poor, little, outraged Christian Bonhomme, age 11, the latest Haitian victim, and make Lieut. O'Donnell, the American officer-rapist's name a nightmare for all of them. If the sad condition, that has existed in that country for years now lasts much longer. God Almighty will punish this country with a scourge of some kind that will cause many thousands of people to suffer for their failure to help force our government to do its clear duty to Haiti—withdraw at once its despicable southern American Control of that country. THE POPULAR VOTE PRIMARY Ohio Afro-American voters, of all others in the state, would be most harmed by a return to the old convention plan of making nominations because it would estop any of our number in this state from ever again standing as candidates for public office of any consequence.

Some of our professional, political and business men have what they term a "Roundtable" at the P. W.

They seem, at such times, to have absolutely no care or consideration for the other patrons of the place. This seems incredible but it is true. Their loudness and coarseness and absurdity remind us of the other reminds one of the old Z Club denizens in the palmest days of Starlight. Wonder if any of them are "graduates" of the old Z? At a meeting, held Saturday evening, in the office of Attys, Chauney & McGhee, in E. 55th St., a resolution was adopted asking the board of education to elect a member of the race to fill the vacancy caused by the recent death of Mrs. Chauney. The board named persons signed and sent it to the board: Herbert S. Chauney, Harry E. Davis, Lethia C. Fleming, Rev. Russell S. Brown and Norman L. McGhee. (Where was Tom—Councilman Fleming?) The committee asked that a member of the race be considered for the appointment because there is "an increasing number of colored children in the schools," and because a "colored citizen would best understand their social life and condition." (Didn't the committee VISIT the board with the resolution?) We understand that recently a common pleas judge of this city and county, in awarding damages in a case under our Ohio Civil Rights Law, gave an aggrieved plaintiff the minimum penalty of fifty dollars, as provided in the law. And then "remitted" forty of the fifty dollars, thus compelling the benevolent court to pay but ten of the fifty-dollar judgment. What we cannot understand is how the judge of any court in this state can thus legally abrogate a specific penalty provided in a state law, thus arrogating to himself the right and power to override the State Assembly which enacted the law and the State Supreme Court which has repeatedly as good law our Ohio Civil Rights Law judge judgment, here is an important legal question which should be determined by the higher courts just as soon as possible. St. John's members gave Dr. E. A. Clarke, its popular pastor, one of the finest receptions ever tendered any minister in this city, Monday evening. And he deserved it. The large auditorium was packed to the doors, all three choirs sang and there was speaking galore. Dr. H. C. Bailey opened the exercise room pastor St. Paul's Zion A. M. E. church, representing the Ministers' Alliance, followed with an exceptionally interesting address which he supplemented by the gift of a neat sum of money from the Alliance. Heads of various church organizations, including the Sunday-school, followed also with most complimentary talks of and gifts for Dr. Clarke, and several gifts for Mrs. Clarke. As many as could, then retired to the Church. Clarke's response were enjoyed. About 750 persons have been added to St. John's membership roll during his pastorate. The usual three or four murders in the 11th and 12th wards materialized, the first of the week, as usual.

Both were killed with one shot from an old-fashioned 44-calliber revolver brought here from Alabama eleven years ago. According to Detective Sergeant Amy Kryst, a prosecutorous when Mr. Jonnelle Davis, a daughter of Mrs. Evans, started to pet a dog which was doing tricks in front of the house. He made a remark which was resented by another boarder, and Prueft, according to witnesses, drew a knife. Who said he did the shooting, ran to the police station, Woodland Ave. and E. 37th St., and reported the deaths. He was held, Sunday night, for further investigation. Final arguments of Atty. Alex.

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 Taft. 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. hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster 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 express To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting white workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its 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 papers, is tenactically held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored lady appeared after having passed the best examination, and having been telegraphed by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregationists, 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 what 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 law that 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 postwar Washington 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 appealing 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 of as though they were lepers. The injurious stings all the more when they reflect that they are far capable than the whites, and render the 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 whines and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, a comf or t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Least year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a re- pepton 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 post-office employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, the color of the colored employees have won contests of quickness and accuracy in handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—the government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go. There are a few tables out of the-way, furnished for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars the promotion of women to 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, felt the need of the office of one of the 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 on "Negroes" being believed in "social equality" 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 an evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson weapon concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request to the government my information, know the fate these cases would 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, OCTOBER 16, 1926. scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the inhabitants 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 heroes young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette, after her affair with 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 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 great. The great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places. Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy we may at the crisis. Our colleague William 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 segregates, 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 *braham Lincoln*, Charles Summer 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. THEY ARE SEGRETE than the other girls, that they are working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age 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. They must be 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 United States 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 Constitution, 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, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing more than 100,000 groves are so scares 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 toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are once more at the service inconvenience at times, and are required 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 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 the presence promotes two thousand diners with space t. 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; therefore, so they remain in a dilemma, fearing segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION Washington, D. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the target of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, bearer board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureau lists below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employee Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. 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 error in the world." —H. G. Wells. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!" Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right, John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) OHIO'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW 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-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 been very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mot 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: Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282.

(93 v. 161 2.) 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 of such unless there was contributory negligence not less than thirty day county in falling to protect such prisoner or dis pursue such mob (93 v. 163 11). Section 6289. This chapter shall 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 is made. (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 from the serious, is a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars, or if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars.

A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.) Section 6284.

Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the board 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 and amusement, denies to a citizen except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or more than twenty days, or both. Sec. 12940. Whoever, before the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Akron, is self explanatory. Akron, O., April 25, 1919 Hon. Edgar C. Smith. Edward C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Owner Sir, Observing your letter in the Journal, 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 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 PROACH, not our courts and juries in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours. R. C. Grant. ```markdown ``` Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it.

Independent delivered the emancipation oration, last month at the celebration in Columbus, Ohio, and among other things said, he had no patience with those scholars and philosophers of the race, who charged that Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves as a war measure; that the charge, on the part of these wiseacres, was largely due to their ignorance of the character of the man, or of their confessed-self importance; that Lincoln, at seventeen, when in New Orleans, saw a Negro girl being sold into slavery on the auction block to the highest bidder, and said then and there. "If I ever get a chance at that thing, I will hit it, and hit it hard." Meaning slavery, of course. Editor Davis is too harsh, coarse and even rough in his criticism of "those scholars, philosophers and wiseacres" who differ from him in their Lincoln estimate. Isn't it barely possible, "Brother" Davis that they may be right and you wrong; that their opinion may not be "largely due to their ignorance of the character of the man, or of their confessed-self importance" John Hay and John Nicolay were President Abraham Lincoln's secretaries. They wrote the best, the most exhaustive history of the martyr president ever printed in this country. Before its publication in book form, it ran for many months as a serial in the Century Magazine. Much that appeared in the Century did not appear in the history because the magazine publication was too voluminous. We well remember our careful reading of it at the time of the Century publication with a special view to deciding in our own mind the very point our distinguished conferee of the Atlanta Independent brought up in his recent Columbus, Ohio, emancipation oration. We also read the Hay and Nicolay history of Lincoln soon after its publication in book form, and others, as well as hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles about the martyr president since that time, many years ago. Our friend Davis's "Lincoln" quotation did not appear in either the Hay and Nicolay magazine or book publications, or any other first-class history of President Lincoln we have not read Indeed, we have gone to read it in any authentic work on the emancipator. On the contrary, for reasons that would tend to strengthen the stand "those scholars, philosophers and wisecares" maintain, President Lincoln did not favor the Generals Hunter and Fremont emancipation proclamations which preceded his by years, but revoked them. He was forced from his command of the Missouri department of the U. S. army as a result of its issuance, and (it is still very generally believed) broke the old pathfinder's heart as a consequence. While not one of "those scholars, philosophers and wisecares", in common with the great mass of people of this country we heartily agree with them, despite the very pretty little "Lincoln" they very pretend to be in that our friend Davis quotes. We argue that President Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation was just what it appears on its very face—a war measure, pure and simple. --- This girl's beautiful, lustrous, smooth hair was once very harsh and unruly.
