McMILLAN TELLS OVER RADIO WHY PEARY TOOK HIM TO THE POLE. Than Peary, He Says. Baltimore, Md.—An amazing tribute to Matthew Henson, only civilized man living who has stood at the north pole, was paid by Donald McMillan, (white), Arctic explorer, over the WEAF chain of radio stations, Sunday night, (Jan. 2, 27.) Listeners numbered by the millions in all parts of the country who listened to McMillan and the questions put to him about his exploration in the far north were surprised when one of the questions asked by Philip Carlin, the announcer was: "Why did Pearke take the 'Negro', Matt Henson, instead of a white man on his final dash to the north pole?" McMillan said that the reason Pearke took Henson was because he (Henson) was an expert in Arctic work. He built all the sledges used by the parachute equipment, make the Esquimo language and was the most popular member of the party with the Esquimos. Henson, he said, was a better man than any of the whites, and a better man in some respects than Pearke. MacMillan quoted Pearke as saying. "We can't get along without Henson." Sadly MacMillan called attention to the fact that the one man who more than any other had made Pearke's dash to the pole successful, had been forgotten by the country, and that that man (Henson) now holds an obscure federal position at the custom house in New York City. Ridiculing the idea that there is six months night and six months day at the north pole, MacMillan said that the north pole knows only 77 days of real darkness such as we have heard, from Nov. 13 to Jan. 29. These are days the natives stage parties and go visiting. During that time, however, the moon shines bright enough on 18 of those days for a man to read a book outside. There are 51 days, he declared, when for the whole 24 hours there is just twilight. This is followed by 137 days when the sun is shining continuously during the period that is both DOINGS of the RACE Julius Rosenwald, millionaire, of Chicago, has aided in building 3,433 rural schools in the South.

Standard Life Insurance Company of Missouri Breaks All Records for Business Written—"It Cannot Be Done But We Did It." St. Louis, Mo.—"Everybody, including experienced insurance men said it cannot be done. But we did it—wrote $1,015,250 in our first month of production," says Herman P. Payne, president of the Standard Life Insurance Co. "It is my firm belief that success, for us, lay in the fact that we were fortunate in our choice of men. Not only are they trained men, masters of their proposition, but they are as well, men of true vision, inspired with the spirit of service." A handful of insurance producers broke all existing records for business of their proposition, but they are as well, men of true vision, inspired with the spirit of service. December, 1926, the first thirty days of operation, thirty-five agents of The Standard Life Insurance Company of Missouri wrote the $1,015,250 worth of business in St. Louis. The "New Standard." The St. Louis Underwriters' Corporation was the group of financiers largely responsible for the organization of The Standard Life Insurance Company, an old life insurance company with the entire capital stock of $100,000 fully subscribed and paid in; with a $50,000 surplus. A masterly stroke placed Heman E. Perry at night and day with us. 74 Degrees Below. Asked if it wasn't frequently as cold in the United States as it is around the North Pole, MacMillan said the average temperature in this country is 38 degrees. In Greenland it is six degrees and in the polar circle the temperature averages zero degree. The coldest temperature is in United States, he said, according to weather reports was 60 below zero at Niles City. At the pole, he declared, Peary reported 74 degrees below zero. MacMillan said he is going back on another Arctic expedition in June of this year and expects to return to the United States in 1929. There are millions of Arctic birds whose species are yet to be determined. He is anxious also to study the rocks in the Arctic circle to determine their age. New species of plants will be discovered that the MIMO who declares that, certain types of plants grow within 400 miles of the pole. The fact that later check-ups show that the expedition arrived at a spot one mile to the left and six miles beyond the actual north pole does not detract from the fact that this expedition, plodding with dogs and sleds in temperature sometimes as low as 78 degrees below zero reached a point farther north than ever attested to. Boree Peary and Henson went to the pole there were only surmises as to what might be found there. Some suggested that there was land at the pole, others said it was a shallow sea, still others that there was a deep sea. This expedition found out that their lead line, sunk into a crevice in the ice, went down 9,000 feet without touching bottom. We know now that humans can stand on top of the earth and come back alive. Before the some scientist noticed that that the immense force there would cause all objects to fly out into space.

The lynching of George Buddington at Waldo, Fla., Dec. 31, '26, brings the total number of lynchings for that year to 34. Buddington, a wood chopper, was lynched because he objected to a woman (white) paying him less than he was entitled to for work. the helm. The million in a month is the result. In a recent interview Mr. Perry tells how it was done, and it makes interesting reading: "I appreciate deeply what you say about me personally, but no one man, however much a genius, can accomplish a thing such as this unless he is backed by the co-operative effort of those who stand behind him. I want you and every one else to know that real credit for this accomplishment belongs first of all to the farsighted financiers of Missouri who are backing this company, and to the hearty spirit of co-operation the citizens of St. Louis have shown; second, to my executive staff, especially do I appreciate the counsel and untiring efforts of J. B. Long and I. J. Joseph who are in charge of the agency staff and of J. A. Robinson who has given us a smoothly running office machinery; third and by no means last, too much credit cannot be given to the agents themselves. They wrote the $1,015-250." "Tut" Jackson Kayoed.

HAYES' VOICE Eat His Use of It is Wonderful—A Versatile Artist—Master of Lyric—Favors the Mezza Voice—Charms His Audiences. With slight changes in the program, published in the Gazette last week, Roland Hayes, our most popular and best known tenor soloist, (at home and abroad), captivated a large audience at Masonic Hall, Sunday afternoon. Mr. Hayes has not a wonderful voice, but it is his USE of it that is wonderful. He is exceptional, respectful. He is really an exceptional artist. Exceptional also in the intelligent use of the splendid voice and several languages—English, German and French. The outstanding feature of his singing is his frequent and intelligent use of the mezza voice and pianissimo (soft tones) with which he most favorably impresses and wins his audiences. To hear him sing spirituals is a rare treat because they are given in the same artistic way that characterizes all his renditions of classical selections. His singing shows long study, careful preparation and rare intelligence. He accompanies is one could ask in that capacity. Wm. Lawrence is an artist, too. Cleveland owes Miss Kathryn Pickard, local manager of the concert, a vote of thanks. Cleveland Daily Press Comment. Roland Hayes, probably the finest colored singer on earth, gave a recital at Masonic Hall, Sunday afternoon and, as usual, delighted his audience. I refer to his color purposes, instead of speaking of him as a singer, only, because he seems so representative of his race—his singing is symbolic of the Irish, a discerning listener almost senses a full history in his interpretations. I refer particularly to the spirituals. As John McCormack drifted away from his Irish songs, which were what people wanted to hear, so Mr. Hayes devotes only one group of songs in his program to the spirituals—certainly his finest work. His German lieder yesterday (Sunday), were unusually fine and he gave a telling interpretation of some French numbers, as well as old and new English. He has not the natural equipment of a great Italian tenor. Sometimes there is a metallic quality. But with the voice that nature gave him, he adds exceptionally fine artistry—Archie Bell, well-known music critic in the Cleveland News. Modest, unassuming, prepossessing in personality, and withal a master of the art of lyric interpretation, Mr. Hayes afforded the fairly numerous song lovers assembled yesterday (Sunday), in Masonic auditorium a rare and memorable afternoon. Mr. Hayes' accompanist, Wm. Lawrence, is an artistic partner in a thousand. He played delightfully. It takes velvet-tipped fingers to match with plains. It matches with Mr. Hayes' planislmos; but Mr. Lawrence gets away with it.—James H. Rogers, music critic of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. KIP'S "DADDY LOSES OUT". New York City. — The appeals court voted 4-1 against a new trial for Leonard Klip Rhinelander's father, who wanted his son's marriage, in October, 1924, to Alice Beatrice Jones annulled. The judges held that Klip knew his wife was colored when he married her and that she did not deceive him as to her race, and that he had one judge noted for Klip's daddy, which enables him to appeal the case to a higher court if he wishes. He will hardly do so now, however, after two or three defeats. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SOLID SOUTH, VARE AND SMITH HEFLIN AND HIS GROUP OF SOUTHERN SENATORS' FIGHT ON THEM SIMPLY RIDICULOUS. Nearly All Southern States Have Destroyed the Franchise of Republicans—Our Voters, the Greatest Sufferers—Lynching, "Jim Crow" Cars, Segregation, as Well as Disfranchisement, Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 4, '27. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazzette, Cleveland, Ohio. My dear Friend Smith:—I hope you have enjoyed the blessings of the season. I have enough time once more to contribute to your capa 'The Old Reliable' Gazzette. Enclosed find a speech I delivered at the recent emancipation celebration in this city. Use as much as you can of it. Sixty-three years ago, President Abraham Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation that liberated the then three million of our people, only in theory. This proclamation would not have been worth the paper written upon, had the South succeeded in its rebellion. The maintenance of an unbroken "union" gave validity to the proclamation, we today celebrate. The freeing of our people and leaving them to live and become citizens among those who were formerly their "masters", precipitated a serious conflict, in which weaker inevitably had to suffer. The conflict began more than fifty years ago is as rife today as then. The effects have been more disastrous to southern whites than to our people. The Constitutional amendments making citizens of and safe-guarding the rights and lives of the emancipated, manifest the sincerity of the federal government to do justice to all, and in a measure atone for the sufferings of our people, and the shedding of the blood of the flower and manhood of the Nation. All the southern states, saving Tennessee, Maryland, and Oklahoma, have destroyed the franchise of our people with impunity. The success and fifteen amendments, so far as our people are concerned in these states, are as if they never had been adopted. To make sure its solidity, the South suffers only one political party to exist there and function. This party, by a select primary system, prevents our people from voting in the primary. Also by a system of subterfuges, designed to rob him of his franchise, the dominant party of the South makes it impossible for our people to vote. We do not uphold his honesty in election between Vars and Smith, spending millions to control the destinies of states like Pennsylvania and Illinois, and Helfin and his group of southern senators, we plead for humanity's sake, give us Vare and Smith. If the U. S. senate excludes Vare and Smith, and permits Helfin and his cohorts to retain their seats, it will forfeit the respect of civilized and law abiding peoples. The South of today misrepresents at home and abroad the true American spirit. As it received its stunning-blow at Gettysburg and death-blow at Appomattox, so must receive its death-blow at the hand of just Americans, voters and law makers, so that the accomplishments of the immortal Lincoln may not perish. Today our people hold the balance of power in eight great states. No political party can win in these states if our group is against it. These states are New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia. A wise use of this power can bring the race through America, in every section, that administration and public relief due us. The segregation, discrimination and elimination of our office-holders, said to be practiced by the present administration, an inheritance from the last Wilson administration, should be stopped. The proper use of our voting strength can stop them. The right, to hold office and participate in the management of the government, is the privilege of every citizen. Our Jewish friends by solidarity, have a representative in the U.S. supreme court, in the departments, in Congress and state governments, in their strength more than doubled theirs. Today we are outside of Congress. We hold no positions of consequence in the departments, we are almost completely removed from representation in the diplomatic corps. The places we held twenty- IN UNION 16 STRENGTH A COPY FIVE CENTS POLE. WARE AND SMITH P OF SOUTHERN SENA- SIMPLY RIDICULOUS.

This condition of affairs exists because of our political stupidity. It is ours to do otherwise. My Fellow Citizens, be slaves to no one, nor oppressors of any one. Be wise enough to know your rights, under the American Government, and have the manhood to contend for them. We have fought in all American wars. We have acquitted ourselves like men. We died to crush the serpent—slavery, we bled to make the words "slavery" live to life, to live to death, to necessity, to shrink not to die to achieve the full enjoyment of American freedom. Let us organize and band ourselves together for peaceful protection and the acquisition of what is ours. But above all, let us do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before Our God. GREATEST "NEGRO" CITY Says Editor Kellog, Speaking of Harlem—'The New Negro is Here', He Says—Poetry, Art, Literature and Playwriting Among Our Accomplishments. "From southern cotton lands to cities of the North come people who are singing as they come", said Paul Underwood Kellogg, (white), editor of the "Survey", in his talk before the Women's City club, Monday. Mr. Kellogg was discussing the Afro-American migrations to Harlem (N. Y. City)—that city within a city, where 150,000 of our people live. The day of "aunties", "uncles" and "mammies" has passed. They have shed their chrysalis from them a new type has emerged. In the Afro-American of economic strength the nature sense is beginning to find expression, declares Mr. Kellogg. "There is no color-barrier to poetry, art, literature or playwriting—so after all the black man brings his gifts. Harlem is not merely a race colony—it is the greatest 'Negro' city in the world. It is not a slum, but is located in the heart of Manhattan, (N. Y. City), and is not made up of dilapidated tenements, but of new apartments. The streets are well paved and well lighted. It has its own churches, social, civic centers, shops and theaters. And it contains more 'Negroes' to the square mile than any other spot on earth. The only northward milion in the city, that of the Afro-American from the south, the north", said Paul U. Kellogg in his address "Harlem, Mecca of the New Afro-American". The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Robert H. Bishop, Jr. Mr. Kellogg, editor of the Survey Graphic and an authority on racial problems, has accumulated the material for special racial editions of his magazine, issued from time to time. "The Afro-American has as much to contribute in the way of art, music, science and literature as any other people", said Mr. Kellogg, "but he has more to overcome than other races because of his backstory of the slavery, and the race prejudice of the African-American who he has lived for generations. It is the survival of the American pioneer spirit which has actuated this great northern migration of the Afro-American; the cities are their frontiers, industry their new field." ```markdown ``` {SR rea | ieee (as ; =~,01 | Ban # fae es | CR Ce Oo Be OO 3 S| Ce iae 4, Slip: ame CO) a AS 7 ° 3, @- 4 re BG w) 5 oe A Ge ™ 2 Bone te eee ie 7 Ee moma Bo¥ | ZS i a E a Sy dll ee es et et ales | a ee Saee™ Aa oy Cue : So et ie ik — AX re SiGe eee Nee The GAZETTE PUBRUSHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES (in Advance) Gee Peak isa tc es 00s E08 Six Months ............05-+ 1.00 Subscribers are requested to remit Dy Dostoffice money order or Fogistered letter. @ntered at the postoffice in Cleve land, Ohio, as second-ciass mail matter ' pees Address all communications to HARRY ©.

BEING FORCED TO SEE. Slowly but surely te more ad- Yanced, among the intellectuals of the other class or race, are being forced to recognize the fact that this is a new era for the Afro-Amer- ican and that our people are far in advance of what they have believed to be our condition, from an intel- ligence view-point. A case in point is the address of Paul Underwood Kellogs, editor of the Survey Graphic, feferred to elsewhere in this paper. He fs quite right whea he says, “the day of ‘aunties’, ‘uncles’ and ‘mammies’ has passed” and that “the Afro-American has as much to contribute in the way of art, music, science and. litera- ture.as any other people’.

If ever there was a modest, unassuming and thor- oughly deserving man that one is Matthew Henson of New York City, explorer de luxe, the only civilized person allve to reach the north pole on foot. It is not at all creditable to this great countfy that its racial prejudice is such as to prevent it from honoring Henson, an American citizen, as it should, The little gov- ernment job he holds in the “Em- pire City" just enables him to eke ‘out an existence; that is all. SHAME! Hats off! to Donald McMillan, a real man. i= BRUSSEAUX’S CHARGES. We do not know how Bishop Joshua H. Jones of Wilberforce feels about the charges of one Sheridan H. Brusseaux, who advertises himself as the head of a Chicago detective agency, but we do know that unless ‘the charges are proved beyond a question of doubt what the Bishop ‘ought to do to™ Brother” Brusseaux after the investigation being made by State Examiner Frank Brown is com- pleted. Fugthermore, if there are any trustees of the university or the state department who are guilty of the wrong-doing charged—receiving coal or anything else purchased for either institution—they should be promptly punished by the courts, and this sort of thing put an end to for all time. But we do noi believe that ‘anything of the kind has been done. However, we shall soon see. rose nen ‘THAT PRIMARY FIGHT.

Since Director of Safety Edwin D. Barry discontinued his “shot- gun drive” in what he and the daily press term “the roaring and notorious” third police precinct, which includes the eleventh and twelfth wards of Cleveland,» there have been a number of crimes com- mitted. Our readers will recall that the safety director sald “the shot-gun rive” was for the pur- pose of heading off the first serious erime-wave the city had had in two years. This was at least intimaj- ing that that section of the city was the source of local crime waves. The director and the local daily press unite in characterizing “the roaring and notorious third police precinct” as the worst In the city of Cleveland and, unfor- tunately, appear to. be correct in so terming it. Since the termina- tion of the “shot-gun drive”, about ten days ago, bandits and other highwayimen have been doing a thriving “business” there, with a number of other major crimes thrown in, for good measure. And still Safety Director Barry insists that police should not be returned to patrol duty in “the roaring and notorious third”, except when ‘shot- gun” drives and the lke are in- voked; and that the few policemen riding around the precinct in a Ford shall remain the vogue, pr2- sumably until another threatened erime-wave. As a matter of fact, as a result of a lack of police do- ing patrol duty in that precinct, every Saturday and Sunday, almost without exception, there are enough murders and other major crimes to warrant the immediate re-estab- lishment and retention of police patrol service in that precinct. It is almost a crime, Mr. Director, to withhold this longer. It would have saved many lives in the last ‘two or three years.

Sees ee | Cadiz, 0.—Prot. W. H. Lucas had the honor of a special invitation to address the Cadiz Kiwanis club (white), last Friday, evening, in the banquet hall of the General Custer hotel. He is the first of the race to receive such a request —to address this distinguished and exclusive organization, composed of the foremost business and profes- sional men of Cadiz. After a sump- tuous repast, he talked on “Relics of the Past”, showing and comment- ing on three unique relics that had been in his family for many years. First relic; two old English shil- lings that had been hung on a string around his neck seventy-six years ago when he was a babe two weeks old, and told of the use of Eng- Msi currency denominations in Richmond, Va., in 1850—before the present decimal system of coins had been fully adopted there. Tne second relic was a staunch ivory- headed rattan cane that had been in the Lucas family for over one hundred sears and upon which five generations of his family connec- tions had ridden around the room, as their childhood pony. But the most interesting relic that appeal- ‘ed to all present, judging by thelr deep expressions of interest, were two copies of his father's and mother’s freepapers that were Is- sued to them in Richmond in 1851, when as free people they were leay- ing Virginia to come to Ohio that they might school their children. Im those days, a free born member of the race could not stay in or leave the south without they had registered-free-papers for _them- selves and children; and, if they once went out of ‘the state and stayed ten days, could not retura again. His talk on slavery days in Richmond, before the war of the rebellion, was a revelation to mem- bers of ‘the club, and at its close many asked Prof, Lucas to come again and tell them some more of ‘his busy past years’ memories. Mr. Lucas has lived in Cadiz since he was three years old, taught school for fifty years and has been town clerk continuously since 1882.— Miss Martha Madison is spending the winter at Palm Beach, Fla— Mrs. Lena Ramsey, has returned from Cleveland where she was call- ed by the death of a sister-in-law. —Mrs. Elizabeth West was in Wheeling, Saturday—Mr. Lewis Johnson js improving.

PAY ATTENTION TO CAR BRAKES motores who do not enjoy the latest improvements in prakes are missing a good opportunity and over- looking safety by not making a great- er effort to get the most from their present brakes 1s the opinion of Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. During this perfod of transition in brakes, he says, there is an unneces- sary tendency toward a double stand: ard of stopping, which can be pre- vented by getting more out of the brakes on older cars and refraining from using the newer brakes exces- sively. “In considering the details of so- called “brake failure” as a cause of accidents,” Hayes explains, “the American Automobile association, found most brake systems were not giving more than 75 per cent of their full efficiency by reason of owner neg- lect. Both Kinds Neglected. “This applied to four-wheel brakes ‘as well as the two-wheel variety. One of the chief reasons for this low effi- ciency of so important a unit of the car is the failure of the average driver to take advantage of what is known as the wrapping action of the brake bands. “When bands are of uniform clear- ance all the way round every square inch of lining comes into contact with the brake drum simultaneously. This causes the band to follow the drum, or to wrap around it. Brake effec- tiveness Is greatly Increased, apd the car stops with far less effort on the part of the driver. “Most car owners consider clearance uniformity, as simply a detail which provides for even wear of the linings. Rather than take the trouble to adjust the bands carefully they allow ex cessive clearance all around, which means that in wet weather the brakes may get water-clogged. Equality Is Important. “Equality of adjustment is an even more important feature. Two brakes evenly adjusted, are safer In the tony run than just one brake that makes the car stand on ehd. Experience demonstrates brakes are used during wet weather, and it follows if the brakes are not of equal adjustment under such conditions .there is no ad vantage in having one good brake. The 100 per cent brake may reduce the resultant braking efficiency to nil and cause a skid, “Comparatively few car owners ap preciate the effect of the weathe and the elements on the brakes. In damp weather linings will be much more effective than -in dry weather, et few owners will remember to wash he brakes when there Is very lttle natural dampness. “If ofl tends to work out on the “ght brake band of the rear whee! during hot weather the simplest rem. edy is to drive up on the crown of he road Instead of allowing the axle to tip to the right so constantly.

My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination and a universal rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no rights." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue.

SEGREGATION AN OUTRAGE! 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? Coolidge Permits It. 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 Hughes; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the four parks President Wilson never troubled, but the pres- ent administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the emigrants taken in this city in 1913 by attaching white workers to black people, and black workers 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 Republic institution and not a Democratic one, it was begun by Republicans, and it ended to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican girl presented. Only last week, a Republican girl appeared after she passed 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 not appoint a Negro clerk. This word is law when the special favorite Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina, the home of the favorite and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, it is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy, or to operation here, would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan "home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffive segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical, discomfort, discomfort as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whines and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, com f o r t a b l e lounge s 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. All of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced daniel and a pleasant meeting with the employees yet not one was invited 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 workers or the colored-colored-workers 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, unwieldy caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have on contests in quickness and accuracy in writing of the 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 place where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation passes over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this restful retreat, and that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of the most important people who believe "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 any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. Only suddenly did he carry the charge and substitute one for carrying 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 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 up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a rebel during the Civil War, wife of Senator Robert Ls. Follette, Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem- ber 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 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! abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress 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. 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 discuaged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy in the city. She went down 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 ait together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of itsfulness, under the administration of the party that 'brahman Lincoln, Charles Summer and Frederick Douglas are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course they are also involved in operations to executive places. They are girls from our best names, 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. Our people are still hopelessly struggling to destroy 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 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 been known, the national bank of which he was 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. Bairr 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 employees since 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 far no more. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilet, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of the "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. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. The worst 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 hardened but the latter in interior segregation in the departments here 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 Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P.O. Box 2, Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room.

HAMILTON FISH, JR. Member of the Lower House of Congress From New York City—Introduced Resolution for Memorial Monument to France to Our Soldiers. One of the old and wealthy families of the "Empire City" is that of which Congressman Hamilton Fish is a worthy representative. During the world war, he was a colonel in our New York City regiment, a unit of the 93d Division, A. E. F. Col. Fish is determined that there shall be a memorial monument erected in France to our soldiers of that division and to that end introduced house resolution, 9694, which authorizes the expenditure of $30,000 for the purpose stated in the resolution of the division. This resolution, has passed the House of Representatives and is in the committee on military affairs awaiting action by the U. S. Senate. Unless a vote on it is reached before March 4 when the senate adjourns, the resolution or bill will die automatically, and a favorable opportunity to secure such action by this Congress will have expired, and it will be much more difficult to take it up again in any future Congress. Consequently, it is of the utmost importance that every senator, particularly in northern states, be petitioned to vote for H. R. 9694 in order to secure its immediate passage. Anent the foregoing, Col. Fish recently sent the following letter to the N. A. A. C. P. headquarters, N. Y. city; "There were four hundred thousand colored soldiers in our army; there are twelve million colored people in the country and every one should be interested in seeing that recognition is given to the soldiers of the colored race who made the supreme sacrifice. The four regiments, 369th, 370th, 371st and 372nd which composed the 93rd Division, served with the French Army. Three of the four regiments had the first flight of the French Croix de Guerre. There is no dispute as to the heroes, gallantry and courage of the colored fighting soldiers of the 93rd Division. Out of a total strength of approximately 10,000 soldiers in these four regiments, 457 were killed and 3,468 were wounded, amounting to 40 per cent casualties. "All the colored people of America should ask that the unjust discrimination against the heroisom of their soldiers be done away with, and that a monument be erected in France which will be for all time an inspiration to patriotism and loyalty. I hope they will take upon themselves the responsibility of notifying the senators by resolutions, letters and telegrams that the entire twelve million colored people of America request and demand this bill be voted upon in order that Norwich Machiavelli be assured that the gallantry of their soldiers who were segregated by order of the war department be recognized and a monument be erected on the battlefields of France, so that oncoming generations of America will know of the glorious record of their soldiers in France."
