The approaching annual meeting of the Cleveland Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, coupled with the announcement of President Clayborne George that he is not a candidate for re-election, should cause us to give attention and consideration to the matter of a new president. For some time, the CALL has contended for a local N. A. A. C. P. program that would benefit and appeal to the local citizens. There is a man in this city who has a statewide—indeed a nationwide reputation as a fighter for justice for all citizens alike. He is none other than the incompetent Harry Wright, author of the Ohio Civil Rights law and the Ohio Anti-Lynching law. Can you conceive of anything more appropriate than to have as the head of the only organization for "civil rights" the man who secured the passage of the Ohio Civil Rights bill. The CALL does not know whether Mr. Smith would accept the president or do KNOW he is well qualified for the position. We also know that he has certain well-defined ideas about the program of the local branch. We believe he could bring the branch to a place where it would be a powerful influence for good in this community. The CALL urges the N. A. A. C. P. membership to insist upon Mr. Smith accept an organization of his leadership; we urge Mr. Smith to accept it and give to Cleveland a local branch with a local effective program—Cleveland Call editorial. RHINELANDER'S APPEAL HELD Up. Trial Spum Out by False Issues, Wife Protests, New York City.—Decision on an appeal for a new trial of Leonard Kip Rhinelander's father's suit for annulment of his son's marriage to Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander, daughter of a Colored coachman, was reserved. Wednesday, by the appellate court, the husband may not be rendered for several months. The briefs, held before Justice Morschauser in Westchester county, run to nearly 5,000 printed pages. Counsel for Mrs. Rhinelander asserted that the length of the original trial was due to "complications." induced by Rhinelander's counsel. "The trial," the court said, "would not have lasted more than three days if it had been centered on the only issue that warranted which was whether Alice had said to Leonard Rhinelander that she was white and whether he believed her and in so believing married her." $500 Legal Fee For Editors.

NOT A "LILY-WHITE" SCHOOL Says U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis —Thanks "The Old Reliable" Gazette—"Right" as Usual. Delaware, O., Nov. 5, 1926. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Friend: I have yours of N. 2nd. I recall that during the time I was a teacher and also, a student of law at Ada, Ohio, university there were two colored men in the law school. These men I remember very well. As a matter of fact, but few colored students have ever attended Ada, but I do remember these two men; one was Mr. Peddiford and the other Mr. Calhoun. The presidents of these men in the law school is sufficient answer to the inquiry which you make. I think there is no doubt that it was planned to have Senator Pat Harrison come into the state; this information came through the regular press channels. But, as soon as our Democratic friends found out what a large amount of criticism would be raised, they abandoned the effort. You are absolutely right and justified in the position you took. I assure you that your loyal and active support is greatly appreciated. With best regards, I am Very truly yours. Frank B. Willis. NOT AUTHORIZED. Several weeks ago, The Gazette called attention to the fact that a representative of a local contemporary was soliciting "advertisements for the benefit of Wilberforce University" and said we did not think he was authorized so to do. The following is pertinent Wilberforce, O., Oct. 27, '26. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette. Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. Smith:—I do not know of anyone I appointed to solicit advertisements for Wilberforces in Cleveland. It might be some affair of Bishop J. H. Jones who has been attending his conferences, and I have not had a chance tq see him about it. Truly yours. Gilbert H. Jones. President. Wilberforce University. THAT HORRIBLE TRIPLE LYNCHING At Alken, S, C., Recently—The Attr at Last—Eye-Witnesses Further developments include a column editorial, published Nov. 2, 1926, in the Columbia State, South Carolina's leading daily, corroborating Mr. White's data showing that at least one member of the grand jury investigating the nob murder was himself a lyncher. "CAN TEACH THEM ALL"! Says Ethel Barrymore, the Actress of Rose McLendon—Critic Wolcott compares Her to Duse, Greatest Actress of the Stage. New York City.—Comparison of one of our actresses with the late Eleonora Duse, considered one of the greatest actresses who ever lived, is made by the dramatic critic of the New York World, Alexander Wolcott, commenting on the greatness of the new "jazz opera". The actress in question is Mrs. Rose McClendon and of her Mr. Wolcott writes: "In the third act of 'Deep River' when, for a moment, the vast stage was emptied and one heard only the murmur of unseen choruses, saw only the lazy tracery of the tree and the old New Orleans house the door opened on the high balcony and down the winding stone steps came an aging mulatto actress who played, in black taffeta and diamonds, the processure of the quadron ball. She stood there for a moment, serene, silent, queenly, and I could think only of the lost loveliness that was Duse. The no-ble head, carved with pain, was Duse's." "When 'Deep River' was having its trial flight in Philadelphia Ethel Barrymore slipped in to snatch what moments she could of it. 'Stay till the last act if you can', Arthur Hopkins whispered to her, and watch Rose McClendon come to the room. She came some of our most holy-joytresses distinction." It was Miss Barrymore who hunted him up after the performance to say, "She can teach them all distinction." HONEY FOR SALE! New honey in the comb, or extracted, $2 gallon.

Roseville, Ohio. 4-24x SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS COLOR-LINE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR AND LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF OHIO, RESPECTIVELY. A Vote of Thanks to Every Afro-American Voter Who Helped to Win the Great Victory—Hon. Harry E. Davis Elected and Atty. Sully Jaymes Defeated. (Special to The Gazette.)* Columbus, O.—In the successful effort to defeat the color-line Republican candidates for governor and lieutenant-governor, Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati and of James Mills of Columbus, respectively, at the race of some independent and others Afro-American male and female voters of Ohio refusel to vote for them, and many of that number voted for the successful candidates, in a determined effort to defeat Cooper and Mills. It is also true that there were hundreds of our members independent and others members of "Colored Democratic clubs" thrust out the state, who willingly supported and voted for Gov. A. V. Donahay and Lieutenant-Governor-elect Earl D. Bloom of Bowling Green because they preferred them, for additional reasons. Thousands more would not go to the poll at all. Thus I came to vote for Ohio. If I vote of two hundred thousand or more made itself felt again in a proper society and served notice on the Republican leaders of the state, and nation, too, for that matter, that they no longer will fail to RESENT in masse such insulting mistreatment and denial of civil segregation and the Cooper and Mills color-lines, even if the offending parties (candidates) do employ members of the race. Rud Hynicka, the Cincinnati Republican boss who brought out Cooper, as a candidate, is the individual that reversed Boss Clinton's nomination an Afro-American candidate for the legislature in Hamilton county. More balm for Capt. Wilkins, Dr. E. D. Doley and other race leaders in Cincinnati. May the good work go forward is our earnest prayer. Our people of Ohio owe a vote of thanks to every member of the race in the state a vote of thanks to Cooper and Mills on the recent election day. More power to them! The Hon. Harry E. Davis of Cleveland, present member of the Ohio Legislature, was re-elected, and is again our only representative in that body. Atty. Sally Jaymes of Springfield going down to defeat. I will learn to support all of our candidates regardless of what ticket they are on. Possibly the most amusing "explanation" of the defeat of Messrs. Cooper and Mills to appear in any daily newspaper of the state, or the country, was that of The Akron Daily Beacon Journal of which ExxonMobil was the candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, several years AN EPOCH-MAKING CERTIFICATE. Readers of The Gazette will note a display advertisement in this issue, carrying the head "An Epoch-Making Certificate." It shows a facsimile of a deposit certificate made by the Victory Life Insurance Company which has increased the capital of that flourishing enterprise to $200,000, fully paid, and its surplus to $100,000, making it the largest capitalized old line life insurance company of our own. Because of our people, is a great step forward and enables not only a better service but makes a decrease in service-cost possible. Victory Life is enjoying a prosperity unprecedented in history and the addition of thousands of clients is real testimony that its modern and advanced methods of operation is appreciated by people who are looking for the best and most reliable insurance protection. Don't fail to read the advertisement and at the same time we suggest that you give its details deep consideration. It tells a story of which members of the race should feel proud. AN ENGLISH BISHOP Denounces the South African Color Bar—Hits From The Denounces London, England.—The Morning Post quotes the Rt. Rev Edward Paget, bishop of southern Rhodesia, as denouncing in a public speech, the color-bar legislation in South Africa, as follows: It meant that because people had a fear they were to be denied the right to use their intellect and it were not to be allowed to rise. It was the abominable legislation of oppression which the Church would fight to the last, and a terrible blot on the history of the country. Africa was suffering from a fear complex, and Euclidian, of being overwhelmed by the natives, but color-bar legislation would not prevent this." IN UNION IS STRENGTH THE COPY FIVE CENTS MILLS! MILICAN CANDIDATES SIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR PRESPECTIVELY. Afro-American Voter Who nt Victory—Hon. Harry and Atty. Sully ago, is publisher. Mr. Knight blames it on the popular vote primary. Of course, other Republican state leaders are giving other "reasons". All apparently agree, as usual, to cover up as much as possible the real cause of Cooper's and Mills' defeat because they do not wish to encourage independent thinking and voting among the thousands of Afro-American voters in the state. They do not wish this potent factor of the Republican party of Ohio to ever regain the importance in the ranks of the oratory, the last vestige of which was lost when Warren G. Harding was elected President by such an abnormally large plurality, or majority over the Democratic candidate. In giving Cooper and Mills so sound a trouncing, our voters of the state have taken a chance over the ever more popular with the result that in the near future, and for some years to come, because of it, they will receive consideration at the hands of the leaders of the party such as they have not known in the last ten or fifteen years. Independent voting, brothers and sisters going to solve the problem of prime interest to the race in this state, in the future. By all means keep up the good work. RENTS TO INCREASE! The Bond Issues Will Increase the Tax Rate and This Will Force Them Up. The tax rate for 1926 will be $2.41, but will jump to $2.43 in 1927, according to County Auditor John A. Zangerle. He has been busy figuring the rate in view of the bond issues and road improvement levies that were voted on favorably at the recent election. The people approved four bond issues which will give the city $3,800,000 for improvement. A half-mill levy also was voted up for county road improvements. This will increase the tax rate 7 cents. The present rate is $2.36. However, the entire 7 cents will not be applied to the 1926 duplicate, only the half-mill road levy will be collected on 1926 when the rate for this year $2.41. New year, a new tax on the duplicate to cover the $3,800,000 worth of city bonds voted, which will make the tax rate for 1927 $2.43. By defeating the $15,000,000 Lorain-Carnegie bridge bond issues, and the $1,800,000 Mall site issue, the taxpayers saved themselves 6 cents on the hundred dollars. Had these bond issues passed the tax rate for 1927 would have been the 49. However, the will appear later in the next few years if the city of Cleveland "doesn't curtail expenditures." Co. Auditor Zangerle criticized the city for extravagance, saying: "If the city doesn't quit hiring people for charity's sake, the tax rate will be much higher in future years. Several departments of the city are overmanned. In all of these departments the forces could be greatly curtailed without crippling service. He also mentioned the state's stating large numbers of men are being employed to do useless work, and then others employed to undo what the others had done. ```markdown ``` Myers Y. Cooper.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1926. Monthly Bulletin, No. 9, of The Cleveland Humane Society, announces that the number of our children receiving its care is 185 (84 boys and 101 girls), a much smaller number than is generally supposed because of the large increase in our local population in the last nine years. The Bulletin says: "Facilities for the care of colored children in Cleveland are limited". Will the Bulletin tell us why? The editor of The Gazette wishes to thank his local confere, the editor of The Call, for the very complimentary reference to him, last week, in connection with the suggestion that the writer be elected president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P, to succeed President Clayborne George, the retiring official, who is not a candidate for re-election. As we have stoutly maintained for many, many years, editing and publishing "The Old Reliable" requires all of our time, effort and thought. It's a big job, brother, as you now well know. Thank you, just the same. WILLIS FOR PRESIDENT. If President Calvin Coolidge is half as wise as he is generally supposed to be because of his notorious "silence", he will not be a candidate for re-election some say "a second time", but will step aside "for the good and welfare" of the Republican party" and permit it to select as its next standard bearer for the Presidency, U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio. That would be a happy and, by the way, the best solution of a problem that is even now vexing the wisest leaders of the party, those that are not burdened with the Coolidge administration yoke. Therefore, "The Old Reliable" Gazette, at this time, suggests the name of Frank B. Willis to head the Republican ticket in the next national campaign. We agree with the N. A. A. C. P. as to the need of a federal mob violence or anti-lynching law that would be effective in the southern states. We also recognize the fact that there is no probability of the passage of such a bill in the Congress as long as the South continues to control the Republican majority (large or small) in that august body. Also, that if passed, such a bill as a law would be declared unconstitutional by the U. S. Supreme Court when it reached that high tribunal of the last legal resort in this country. The regulation of mob violence is a state right, pure and simple, say the most eminent jurist-members of Congress. Therefore, if mob violence and lynching is to be stopped it must be done by legislation of the various states and not by the Congress. Ras Taffari, the Abyssinian at Geneva, asked Sir Eric Drummond of England to file with the league of nations the Abyssinian document relating to the treaty of Italy and Great Britain regarding the exploitation of his country. Sir Eric said there was no precedent for the registration of the Abyssinian point of view, that document being unilateral, whereas the covenant of the league required the registration only of, regularly negotiated treaties. Some years ago when Italy sought to force Abyssinia to submit to certain demands, its army was so signally defeated by the Abyssinians that all the countries of Europe, for the first time, were forced to recognize the African state, as a power to be reckoned with. It has long since been realized that the league of nations was organized to be used by the most powerful European countries to protect and promote their foreign holdings in land THE GEEVUM GIRLS and people, and to better enable them to exploit smaller and weaker countries. A concrete illustration of this is now furnished in the effort of Italy and Great Britain to force certain valuable concessions from Abyssinia. Italy didn't dare try to do this alone; so joined with Great Britain which dominates largely the league of nations. Using the league and their combined power, they are in a fair way to exploit that country as they desire. And its representative in the league, Ras Taffari, in appealing to the league of "notions", though in vain it seems, is doing about the only thing that can be done at this time to save his country from the clutches of Italy and Great Britain. He has called attention of the league to Article X of the covenant which is a guaranty of protection against aggression and encroachment. Unless Abyssinia is afforded the protection Ras Taffari has asked, and apparently is not to receive, there remains only for that country an appeal to the long rifles of the forefathers of its inhabitants. GIVE THEM CREDIT, GOVERNOR. Cleveland, O., Nov. 6, 1926 Gov. A. V. Donahey, Capitol, Columbus, Ohio Dear Governor:—The enclosed are but a few of the many letters received from my people in various parts of the state. Read them carefully, please, and return them. Dr. Joseph L. Johnson of Columbus told me. Thursday, at Wilberforce, where we were attending a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the State Department, that the state Democratic campaign committee had circulated 100,000 copies of my letter to Mr. Townsley, publicity manager of the Republican state campaign committee, throut the state, prior, of course, to the recent election day. Judging from the letters and telegrams received and what I saw when down the state, this week, the job was thorny done. What I want to call your attention to, particularly, Governor, is the fact that my people throut the state undoubtedly furnished both you and Lieutenant-Governor-elect Earl D. Bloom the balance of votes necessary to insure your re-election, on Tuesday of this week, and should be given credit for it, if for no other reason than to encourage independent voting, especially when it means so much to (the vital interests) of my people. There is absolutely no question as to the far-reaching effect, in every part of the state where circulated, of my letter to Mr. Townsley. It could not possibly be have been otherwise. With sincerest congratulations upon your most recent political victory and with very best wishes, I am. "The Old Reliable" Cleveland Gazette in one of its recent issues lamentes the fact that President Coolidge is permitting segregation and discrimination in the government departments in Washington where Negroes are employed. We wonder if "The Old Reliable" knows that right here in the city of Cleveland, the home of The Gazette, that the city of all hospitals, aggregate its Negro patients and that nothing is said about it. Then why object when self-respecting Negroes who resent such insults, seek to provide a hospital of their own. "The Old Reliable" is unbossed, unbiased and unafraid. Thou criticizer, first cast out the beam out of thine eye, and then shall then see clearer, more honest, than brother's eye — "The Open Door" Wickliffe, O. Miss Jane E. Hunter, editor. Yes, "The Old Reliable" knows that some if not a majority of the hospitals of Cleveland now segregate Negro patients. It also recalls that it protested vigorously, not once but many times, when a Negro nurse but recently from the South was seeking the segregation of Negro patients in St. Vincent's "Charity" hospital in order that he might be employed as nurse to attend them. Of course her request was granted, as is invariably the case when "jim-crow" Negroes and prejudiced whites negotiate the temporary sacrifice of a principle that affects the vital interests of the race. This was the opening wedge for the segregation of Negro patients in the hospitals of Cleveland. We object to a "jim-crow" hospital for the very same reason that THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1926. we object to all other "jim-crow" institutions in this community and have stated our reasons so often that it is hardly necessary to repeat them at this time. The old saying that "two wrongs do not make a right" is as true, today, as it was a thousand or more years ago. Coolidge's segregation of our federal employees and others in the government service, and segregation in the hospitals of Cleveland do not make correct or justify the establishment of a "jim-crow" hospital in this city or a "jim-crow" hotel like the Phyllis Wheatley HOTEL, for that is about what the Phyllis Wheatley Association amounts to. We have never condoned IT, either. Self and race-respecting Negroes can never become "jim-crow" Negroes. That is why we are inclined to question the statement that "self-respecting" Negroes are seeking to establish a "jim-crow" hospital in this city. Yes. "The Old Reliable' and 'criticizer' is unbossed, unbiased and unafraid" and has not the "jim-crow" beam in his eye; thank the Lord! Somehow we cannot help feeling that some unsophisticated young woman-supporter (black or white) of Miss Hunter, rather than the woman herself, is responsible for the above excerpt from "The Open Door", organ of the Phyllis Wheatley Association. Additional Locals Writing the editor of The Gazette under date, Nov. 8, "26. Associate Judge of the Municipal Court Alva R. Corlett says: "I desire to thank you most sincerely for your letter of Oct. 30th, addressed to our good friend, the Hon. John Retch. I appreciate very much your support of my candidacy for common pleas judge. I am not so much interested in my personal success as I am in the effort to clean out the boxhouses thieves who now control politics in this county. I am confident that our repeated efforts will soon meet with success. Honest elections will do more than anything else to suppress the growth of crime and political corruption in this city. We must keep up the fight." The fine audience that nearly filled the large auditorium and gallery of Mt. Zion Cong, church, Tuesday evening, to hear a violin recital was a testimonial to Loula Vaughn Jones, a Cleveland "boy", and his exceptionally loyal parents, with his soloists are ever given. A few morning performances and a miserable cold, windy and rainy early evening, such as only early spring and late fall produce, was the kind of weather people faced, Tuesday, in order to hear the program of gems for the violin which our own Loula rendered exquisitely. One of the most popular musicians, was the next to the last on the program—"An Improvisation by Loula Vaughn Jones". The large audience sat through the recital, except when roused to exceptional applause which was often, as if charmed by his splendid playing. The tones of his instrument were the round violin, the most satisfying instrument; even in his pianissimo passages, Technique, interpretation and stage presence, fine. Headed by the Hon. Myron T. Herrick, U. S. Ambassador to France, a large number of wealthy and leading residents of the city were as many of people, were-listed on the program as patrons of the recital. Madame Kathleen H. Farbes proved a very efficient accompanist indeed. Her work being above the ordinary. Medals For Four Sheriffs. Medians For Four Shermans.

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. 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 come off, and he ordered the post master 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 To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureaucracy of office. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting 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 where white people cannot segregation, then, is a Republican institution in a Democratic one. Begin 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 the graph which must accompany their papers, is tenacious, held on to our Republican president. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after having the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the son of the other favorite and header of the segregation force. Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is not aware of complain of either of our 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 nonverbal 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 choices of the king of the land, which has found the "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to the Washington, D.—In the postoperative segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant stimulation and physical maintenance. The department maintains a spacious cafera 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 cooled clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings when they reflect that all the more capable than the whites, and render government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, com for t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there segregation, and segregation can be attempted in the toilet, and all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. In the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the 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 a black-cloaked stockade or segregation would express itself in investments, 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 mail. The colored clerks have dared to union which meets regularly and often sends manpower and intelligent 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 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 out of there a few tables, or out of the-way covered 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 promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the institution offers our same employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumpet. He was as a employee, hence he carried 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 for which he was immediately dismissed. The 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 by a depliant of the complainant of exist, and a request for the names of my informants I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since it will settled upon it, and the complainant cannot bear witness to it. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1926. (Special to The Gazette) (Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the office, many men became famly 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 contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our loca a white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight for democracy was at the center. Oswald Gale, a famous name to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that 'braham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY GATED in the best rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promoitive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high auto 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. Our people are designed for living in an order devised for 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 president was a man of Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national 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 several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there, the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilet, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc. set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge magnificent office with a grand building of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registries of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. D. Johnson, to white men 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 with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. COOLIDGE'S SEGREGATION Washington, D. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, bearer board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees, as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employ- *Bonus Section* Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. **Internal Revenue** Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. regated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room.

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 and, if possible, to kill it. You have, frequently, during the former-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but when you, 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.)

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 other persons by violence and without authority of law shall be deemed guilty for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279.

A person assuaded 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 permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6.282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, 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 surviving such deceased, 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 mob. (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 lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault.

A person present, 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. ed. g. representative of victim of lynchingury by mob trying to lynch another and costs in tax levy. s. inst member of mob. nst 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 camegence on the part of officials of such unless there was contributory negligence in the case than that in failing to protect such prisoner or dispurse such mob (93 v. 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request or many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith a Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: 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 public accommodation to all citizens and regardless of color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or nor more than ninety days, or both, person aggrieved thereby to be re-arrested 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 Beauty Years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory --- Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your 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 public notice of the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for $650 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 coroner editsally THE LAW PROACH, nor our courts and juries in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed Very truly yours. B. C. Grant 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. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage.—Editor. Circulation E After Read after Reading RecordsShow 3,040,000 Carloads Were Transported in Year 1925. That the automotive industry was one of the large customers of the railroads during 1925 is disclosed by freight records just made public. This disclosure follows announcement that the railroads enjoyed record earnings last year. Freight carloads of automotive products hauled by the railroads in 1925 totaled 3,040,000, according to J. S. Marvin, chairman of the traffic managers conference of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. This total included shipments of motor cars and parts, gasoline used in automobiles, road-building material and kindred freight. Many other items, such as building materials and equipment for factories and garages, less than carload shipments of parts and accessories and express matter, are not included, because there is no separate classification for these. Report of Statisticians Report or Statisticians Statisticians find that it would take all the passenger and freight locomotives and all of the various kinds of freight cars of the railroads nearly ten days to handle this business at one time; all of which is another way of stating the fact that of 51,177,962 carloads of freight of all kinds handled by the railroads in 1925, more than three million carloads were induced by the manufacture and use of motor cars. The importance of this business to railroads is emphasized by comparison with the shipping of other principal commodities in 1925. Coal leads with 8,866,392 carloads, followed by forest products, 3,741,068; grain and grain products, 2,300,190; ore, 2,018,854; live stock, 1,635,252. Shipments of automobiles and parts alone during the year approximated 820,000 carloads, compared with 740,578 in 1924. Record Railroad Earnings. Record Railroad Earnings. "The record railroad earnings coupled with the record carload shipments of motor products are significant of the co-ordinate interest of all lines of transportation," says the automobile chamber's statement. "Motor transport is one of the major customers of railroads and, more important still, it aids the rail lines in developing national resources and wealth. Just as the railroad is more economical in long-haul transportation, so in many forms of short-haul travel the motor vehicle is the most efficient." Superior Driving Rules Outlined for Closed Car With a view to familiarizing motorists with changing conditions, the American Automobile association outlines the four points for the average driver who buys a closed car: 1. Learn that you may be traveling at a higher rate of speed without realizing it, particularly where the grade is slightly downward. Speed is always a hazard when you are not aware of your actual speed. 2. Learn that physical comforts offered by the closed body in adverse weather do not alter the highway hazards. Your hands may be warm but your feet may be aching as you road as when you formerly shivered in your open car, or stayed at home. 3. Learn that though you can see out better in your closed car than you could through rain curtains the few obstructions to vision, such as the body posts, are at points you are not accustomed to. 4. Learn that other drivers in closed cars are usually as unfamiliar with the new conditions as you are, and that the safest plan is always to give a bit to the "other fellow." Slow Driver Is Menace to Traffic on Highways One of the greatest menaces to traffic on the streets, boulevards and even on country highways, is the slow driver cruising down the center of the thoroughfare. The Rules of the Road" require all slow travelers traffic—whether passenger automobile, truck or bus, to keep to the right near the curb. This rule is violated every day, and all the time. Everywhere may be found the slow traveler, creeping down the middle of the driveway, blocking traffic and actually endangering the lives of others. Voicuno Believed Dead All of the islands of the Hawaiian group are essentially of volcanic origin. Including small islands and rocky shores there are twenty of them. Only nine are large enough to be inhabited and only one, Hawaii, still possesses volcanoes which are active, in the latter part of the Eighteenth century a third volcano on the island of Hawaii was still active. This was Maualah, a mountain which still possesses some hot springs and other signs of dying volcanism, but which hugged its last lava flow back in 1801.
