Much other social attention was shown them, Mrs. Malone taking them for a tour of the city in a Purple Swan bus and regretting greatly her inability, at that time, to throw open Poro College to all students in the institution. A musical and literary program was rendered in Poro auditorium for the visiting guests by the Poro family, the bridal party reciprocating the following day. Mrs. Chas. W. Price of Dayton lauded Poro College and Mrs. Daisy Merchant's benevolence, and on behalf of the visiting guests formally presented Mrs. Malone with a purse of fifty dollars for our orphans' home, fulfilling future needs, an announcement that Mrs. Malone, Mrs. Breedlove, Mrs. Lucian Sims, Mrs. C. H. Phillips, Jr., and Mrs. Lattimore will be members of the Merchant-Hall bridal party, next month. THE FIRESTONE COMPANY Making Headway Rapidly—Providing Needed Employment and Making Improvements—Tourists. Monrovia, Liberia, Africa.—The building of new bungalows and the remodeling of the motor road from Monrovia to Careysburg are among recent plantations in the Plantations Company in Liberia. In addition to the above improvements, which are said to have greatly relieved unemployment, the company has taken over the warehouse and wharf formerly used by the African International Corporation. Almost every steamer arriving brings new material to be based in the company and their active operations have resulted in an increase of the commerce between Liberia and the United States. The development of these activities are not only increasing the local staff of the company but is adding considerably to the population of Monrovia. Immigrants and other workers on the steamer passing the port. There is also a large number of rural laborers migrating to the cities. $8,000 Bequest to Storer. Harper's Ferry, W. Va.—The largest single gift made to Storier College has just come* to the institution.

A hard working, frugal man, he defied the usual small savings intuitively grow and that he might thus pay a debt of gratitude to the school, which started him on the upward path. Germany Honors Black Soldier Germany Honors Black Soldiers. Berlin, Germany.—The question of Germany's future connection with her African colonies came to the fore this week, when it was learned that she had given back pack to AT troops who fought so brilliantly against the Allies in No Man's Land during the World War. The tardy remuneration, it is said, is hoped to influence the natives' desire for German control of their territory. Given a Medal. Frankfort, Ky.-Sheriff P. R. Brown, of Graves County, who in 1926 saved an Afro-American from lynching at Mayfield, has been awaived by the Gulf Southern Burial Commission, Gov. Fields has announced. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ONE OF OUR LOCAL PASTORS. Dr. Horace C. Bailey and the Editor of "The Gazette" Give the Defunct "Jim Crow" Movement a Good Booting—The "Jefferson" Letter Answered. The Observers' club, with "President" F. D. Crayton presided, met in the Cedar "Y", last week Thursday evening. The topic for discussion and "observation" was the defunct abortive "jim-crow" Mercy hospital movement. Rev. Horace E. Bailey, the first speaker, very properly characterized the movement as a positive menace to the present and future progress of our people in this community and said that "Negroes" who would come into a community like Cleveland and attempt to foist such an unnecessary and harmful thing upon their people of this city ought to go back everywhere to revel in the segregation they apparently love so much. Dr. Bailey is right. Such "jim-crow" "Negroes" should be driven from the community by our people for the harm they are seeking to do them. He was followed by the editor of The Gazette who wrote of the abortive movement, stressing the refusal of the few "jim-crow" hospital advocates to make any effort to open City hospital to our internes and those of our girls wishing to become trained nurses. The editor castigated their very evident desire for a "job" or to "get close to the money." As the conclusion address, he answered from 10 to 10:40 p. m., thoroughly enjoying those prouposed by a Dr. Owens who, it seems, was most active in the defunct hospital movement. The Observers' club was looking for information on the subject, and with the other members of the audience, surely got it, last week and remarked in closing the meeting, were greatly enlightened and benefited by the speakers of the evening. Did Not "Endorse". Cleveland, O., April 29, '27. Rev. C. Lee Jefferson, Pastor, St. Mark's Presbyterian Your letter of April 26, '27, received. A careful reading of it makes perfectly clear several things: First: that the statement you made recently in a local publication, and signed as "secretary" without authority so to do, was not the statement for publication prepared by the committee of which you were secretary and which was appointed (by the recent meeting of some of the members of the mane Baptist church) "to issue a statement to the public" anent the now defunct local "jim crow" Mercy hospital movement. According to your letter, just received. "Rev. "OF MIXED BLOOD" Is Bishop A. J. Carey of the A. M. E. Church, Says a Chicago Daily Newspaper. Chicago, Ill.—Bishop A. J. Carey, of the A. M. E. Church, newly appointed chairman of Chicago's civil service commission, is of mixed blood, says the Chicago Daily Journal. His forbears include Lord Fairfax, personal friend of George Washington, and Archibald Carey, his mother, and father both were slaves. His sire was a Methodist preacher and his mother was of mixed French descent. Mrs. Carey, his wife, is kin through Madam Govaine, a niece to the great Napoleon Bonaparte, emperor of France. Bishop Carey was born in Atlanta, Ga. on August 5, 1868. He says he be- Mob Demonstration Echo. Coffeyville, Kans.—Three colored citizens, who were wounded in the race riot which occurred here, March 18, filed claims aggregating $35,000 city commission. The claims were made for injuries suffered during the riot. Swept To Their Death. Greenville, Miss.-Fifteen of our women who sought refuge in a house at Winterville, five miles north of here, we were swept to their death in the flood waters, last week Monday. Six thousand of our people are encamped on the levee, twenty feet wide, and 4,000 white persons are quartered in hotels and other buildings in this flooded city. IN-UNION IS STRONGER COPY FIVE CENTS DEAD ITS DESPERATE AT ONE OF OUR LOCAL TORS. the Editor of "The Gazette" Crow" Movement a Good son" Letter Answered. James P. Foote served as secretary" of the Gethsemane church meeting, and not you. (It looks very much as if some one has taken a very mean advantage of you.) Therefore, your communication is not relevant and worthy of publication in "The Old Rellable" Gazette. Rev. Horace C. Bailey. Our statements, in a recent issue, were based upon information voluntarily given us by a prominent member of the committee of five of which you were secretary and which was authorized to make a statement by a press conference in Gethsemane church. WHERE IS STATEMENT? You were not secretary of the pastors' meeting and therefore not authorized to make any statement to the local public for it. Furthermore, the word "endorse" was thoroly discussed in the committee meeting at M. Zion Cong. Church of a decision. NOT to use it, we are reliably informed by a prominent member of the committee. The following expression, he insists, was adopted: "We recommend its merits to the public." You were secretary of this committee. Why have you failed to publish the statement to the public which we decided to make and publish. Was it because the abortive "jim crow" Mercy hospital movement had no "merits"? It would seem so. It is really a waste of time and space to pay further attention to this matter because it is now a dead issue if indeed it ever was an issue as far as this community was concerned. Yours for the race. Harry C. Smith. OSWALD VILLARD. The writer has just learned that Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard has decided to give up his interest in the Manassas Industrial School of Virginia because he is heart-sick over the way that our people have failed to show the proper kind of interest in the school, because a stray penny from their pockets. No one will doubt Mr. Villard's genuine interest in the race. Faithful, charitable, and until recently optimistic, Mr. Villard has given his time, talent, and funds to the cause of education for our youth, especially of northern Virginia. He has given most liberally of his own funds and has influenced the North to emulate his example. He has virtually carried Manassas for almost forty years. Painful Conclusion. At last, Mr. Villard has come to the painful conclusion, after these long years of experience, that our interest in our own education is just about limited to the receiving end. We are not enthusiastic about giving our students the support of our own education.—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. Ouch! Miscegenation. Brockton, Mass., — Two "Holy Jumpers", one a Boston white woman, the other a Cape Verde Island black man, found romance in their strange religious cult, and are to be married in a short time. Edith May Alexander, (white), of 59 Hammond St. Boston, is one of the princes, while the other is Ambrose Gomes Rodreques, of Grove St. Brockton. They have taken out marriage intention papers. The two were among the six Holy Jumpers recently found guilty of disturbing the peace here. UNCLE ED AND LITTLE NELL, WERE TERRIBLY GLAD YOU'VE COME TO PAY US A VISIT!

SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1927. The Washington (D. C.) Eagle SAVE: "After further investigation we have found that the salaries paid to the white and colored employees, of the U. S. Register of the Treasury's department, are as discriminatory as are the employment conditions". Hurrah! for Coolidge—if you can! Since the P. W. A. cannot collect the $158,000, due from the subscriptions of our people, a wing of the building, as planned, is to be dispensed with. This carried with it useful equipment for the same, of course, and the swimming pool. Many subscribed $25 and a great many $100 and more, and cannot or will not pay a cent of their subscription. There is talk of also cutting out the gymnasium. Since Bishop A. J. Carey has announced his acceptance of the $7,.500 a year appointment of Chicago's new mayor, Wm. Hale Thompson, in order to be consistent, the bench of bishops of the A. M. E. Church will undoubtedly compel the new chairman of Chicago's civil service commission, Bishop Carey, to resign for the same reason that it refused some months ago, to permit Bishop A. J. Gregg to accept the presidency of Howard University and function as bishop even on leave of absence. Macedonia Baptist church, located in Teutonia Hall, E. 31st St. and Scovill Ave., Rev. W. L. McDonald, pastor, has purchased Cory M. E. church and the property next door to the church, cor. of E. 35th St. and Scovill Ave., for $60,000, paying down $500. Five hundred dollars more is to be raised by May 25 with the assistance of our other local Baptist churches. This will add practically $60,000 more to the already over half million dollar indebtedness of our local churches. This vast sum will be augmented by $200,000 more in event of the purchase of the old Epworth Memorial Methodist church, cor. E. 55th St. and Prospect Ave. by Cory M. E. church which has been contemplating this "progressive" move for some weeks. Rev. D. E. Skelton, pastor of Cory M. E. church, has been transferred to another charge. --- Recently President Coolidge received at the White House the Inter-Denominational Ministerial Alliance, in session at Washington, D.C., and exchanged aeroplane messages of friendship and good-will with President Louis Borno of Haiti, the man the southern "cracker" American naval control of Haiti forced upon that country as chief executive because he would do its bidding. These are some of the things that Mr. Coolidge and his political backers hope to fool our people with, next year, and make them forget his steadfast refusal to give them the appointments they are entitled to and his equally steadfast refusal to do away with the most insulting segregation of Afro-American employees in the departments at Washington and the similar mistreatment accorded others of our people in other departments of the government. Will he succeed? We do not think so. In his address, Tuesday evening, in the Washington D. C. auditorium to the joint session of the third Pan American commercial conference and the U. S. chamber of commerce, President Coolidge said that the policy of this government toward the nations of Central and South America was "not to control but to co-operate". With those nations sitting by, seeing and hearing what this government is and has been doing in Haiti for six years or more, it is hardly to be expected that his statement impressed any considerable number of the members of the third Pan American commercial conference. The little black republic, "poor bleeding Hai- THE GEEVUM GIRLS ti", has suffered everything but death at the hands of its American Naval control. This includes, of course, the wanton killing of thousands of its natives by American marines during the period mentioned. PRIME SPORT NEWS A Dirty Siur! Andrade, the colored messenger boy of the Uruguayan team, was the bright light of the day. His play was wonderful in every respect, and his saving of the goal on two occasions was cleverness to the extreme in foresight as Mazzalli was powerless to save his charge both times. —Cleveland Plain Dealer, Monday Kearns Dodging Flowers Bout. New York City.—It looks as though Jack Kearns is willing to allow Mickey Walker to meet any middleweight but the one most entitled to that consideration, Tiger Flowers. Reports are flying about, regarding signing Walker to box for the Mizuki Tiger Mike Miller manager of Flowers says. "We have been very patient with Kearns and Walker, not wishing to annoy them any more than was necessary to remind them of the contract I have in hand, promising Flowers a return match within 90 days after the Chicago bout, last December. However I feel that the least I can do is to protect the interests of my team, we will fight it out to the last ditch, if they insist on forcing my hand. The press may shortly have news of a suit that will make the Kearns and Dempsey affair look mild." Suggs Loses! Fans Boo Decision, (Boston, Mass.—Sammy Fuller, (write), won a “judges” decision (from “Chick” Suggs, New England bantamweight, here on a recent Friday night, at the Boston arena. But Suggs, who is a New Bedford puglist, seemed to have the favor of the fans and at the end of the bout when the decision was made, the crowd greeted Fuller and the officials with a burst of booing and hisses as well as applause. It was expected that Fuller would win score over Suggs. The New Bed- ford team, the Bostonian for the count of three in the fifth and won the seventh and eighth rounds by a wide margin, while the second, third and fourth were close. With the bout just about even in the eighth round. Fuller came out in the ninth to drag the victory out of the fire. In the tenth and final round both men fought like trojans. The weights were Suggs 125% and Fuller, 126½ pounds. The Uruguayans Win. Leandro Andrade, the possessor of phantom-like ability to appear from nowhere, prevented Ohio's collection of all-star soccer players from scoring a single point in their game with Uruguay at Luna Park stadium, Sunday afternoon. The South Americans won by a score of 3 to 0, figures which are a challenge for Uruguayans as well as to their pedal talent. That the Olympic champions could have scored a few more goals is the opinion of the Ohioans' most ardent supporters. The faultless team work that gave Hector Scarone the ball in scoring position no less than three times in the first half undoubtedly could be the performance and produced additional markers. The Ohio team was willing, but it was no match for the smooth combination from South America. Andrade is colored. Flowers Whips Chuck Wiggins. Buffalo, N. Y.-Tiger Flowers, former middleweight champion, gave Chuck Wiggins (white) of Indianapolis a decisive beating in a ten-round bout here, Friday evening of last week! Wiggins made only one round even, the ninth, and in the others was badly cut about the face. Flowers weighed 170½; Wiggins 180½. "Chick" Gets Another "Trimming". Philadelphia, Pa.-Benny Bass, Philadelphia, slugged his way to a one-sided victory over Chick Suggs in a ten-round bout at the arena, Monday evening. Suggs was knocked down three times in the fourth, once for the count of nine. Bass weighed 125½, Suggs 125.

OLD FURNITURE USED TO HIDE TELEPHONE Venetian Sedan Chairs Being Salvaged For Booths In the Home Furniture to conceal the telephone and at the same time provide an artistic and useful addition to the decoration of a room is the latest triumph of the designer's art. Cabinets of oak from Gothic Jacobean times, of walnut from Queen Anne's day and other fancy pieces from still other days are proving popular. Venetian Sedan Chair Persons with a turn toward the unusual are salvaging Venetian sedan chairs of the eighteenth century from the antique shops for use as booths and ancient Spanish varguenos are being turned into cabinets. Naturally the sort of booth desired must fit into the time period in which the room is furnished. The modern touch is achieved in telephone cabinets of wrought metal. Tall and slender cases with elaborate grillework in steel, wrought iron or brass, with old red velvet disclosed back of the metal grille, present the latest product in designer's art. Secretion of the telephone instrument is accomplished in many other ways, such as by dolls, fancy dressings and so forth. Telephone people warn against too much of this camouflage for fear it will interfere with the proper use and workings of the telephone instrument. At one time, a number of years ago, there was serious consideration of changing the name of the telephone to "plesiophone." Plesiophone means in Greek "the voice of your neighbor," while telephone means "distant sound."

Doctors are dropping out of the Mercy hospital movement, declaring they are "not going to pay out any more money for a pig in the bag". The salary of the publicity agent (Dwight Williams) has been cut off. So he resigned and closed the office. The movement seems to be about dead. Funeral in the near future. Church in the future. Those who fought the hospital project from the time it asked endorsement at his church and also in the two Ministers' Conferences. He had back-bone enough to stand up and tell them they never would get into his church for anything. Others of our local ministers have very wisely decided to now positively no chance of the "jim-crow" hospital proponents ever breaking into the Community Chest as they fondly hoped for at first. The expense of any kind of a hospital is not less than $100 a day, $3,000 a month, or $36,000 a year. Where is this money to come from? "Jim-crow" Mercy hospital advocates could hold him in court, apparently have not the money to pay their subscriptions to Howard University, the N. A. A. C. P., our churches, and the P. W. A. It is said, some of them need all they will make in the next ten years to get their home-property out of debt. Sheriff Edward J. Hanratty (Democrat) announces that the segregation of prisoners in the jail of this (Cuyahoga) county, that has characterized the administrations of several of his predecessors (Republicans) in that office, has been discontinued under his regime, as he promised during the campaign, last fall. Thanks, Sheriff! This leads us to ask whether the Ku Klux Klan has not made segregation a Republican party tenet? It certainly has, and we recall that Coolidge administration, and state and local administrations here in the North are doing to us, these days. The newspaper statement that Logans Owens' estate "totals fifty or seventy-five thousand dollars" is ridiculous. $25,000 is a generous estimate of its value. When "Starlight" (A. D.) Boyd died the same inflated value was placed on his estate by local and other newspapers. Some placed its value at "over $200,000" while others announced it as "$100,000" when as an actual fact he was administrator himself announced it as "$100,000", which was the case. This was made up of the residence-property in Carnegie Ave. and $10,000 in bonds each left to three children. Where is the sense in "blowbagging" about such things, anyhow?

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. It still further, and President Harding; and Council held its seventh under Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of censuring. He segregated the candidates in this city and demanded white people, restricting white people, white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, an announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a situation and not a Democratic one, carried on by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored lady appeared after having passed the best examination, 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 has the favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina to the home of the other taurite and taurite of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postofficial 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, disadvantages as it is, is far less gallant the colored clerks is than the thought of their government, demanding their taxes, as it takes more 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, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. 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. I am danced and a pleased social evening with employees for "the post-master employees" yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination is 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 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 improvement. It has secured their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this house structure, but we have no money to 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 as elsewhere, the inferior status 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 exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a friend, the teacher, 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 dismisses them." 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 falling to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons. They immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment is held. By this severe punishment 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 the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem- der 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 people and who was upon intimate army life has 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! 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 O. White coulde 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 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. them to continue the fight for democracy was at the crises. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The e fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau all together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that brahman 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 ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilet, none are ever thought of for situations to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order羞辱 the 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 Hamill. It is to be remembered that the greatest achievement of the 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 been the most successful banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blain from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing more than 100,000 groves are so scarce that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farer. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special lockers, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience and travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the adults and the children, their present creates. It seats two thousand diners with space t spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Gartfeld 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 compounded on 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 be most pronounced in the particular true office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, best board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcans 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 employee Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. Internal Revenue Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. regated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. CHARACTER.

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! admire true manhood—a man possessed injustice and oppression, dares, dares the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible smite it. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeils, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race into struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class.

Subscribe Now SOLID COLOR ARTFULLY TRIMS GINGHAM FROCKS FOR WEE TOTS J NECKLINES tell a story of fascinating interest this season. Collarless, flat, with keen rivalry between square and V-shapes, this is the important style message they convey. Bows of every description or else colorful bouquets are doing splendid work in the way of achieving becomingness for the new flat necklines. Especially does the sports-frock depend upon the contour of its neckline for smartness. The models in this picture interpret both the square and the V-effects as indorsed by Dame Fashion. No doubt the possessor of the trim tailored gown to the left will not lose much time in acquiring a handsome ribbon肩 to pose at the left of the square neck which marks its styling, for just now "everybody's" thinking in terms of bows, either of like material to the frock or of ribbon in matched coloring. Too much cannot be said for the square neckline. Many latest arrivals in the way of blouses and SOLID COLOR ART GINGHAM FRO MOTHERS can afford to spend much time and thought in the making of their children's ginghams, for gingham is considered an exceedingly "classy" fabric this season. Such entrancing things are being done with it, not only for the "kiddies" clothes, but for those of grownups as well. One of the likable qualities about gingham is that it always comes out of the tub looking fresher and prettier than ever. That is because gingham is never printed—the threads used for it are always dyed before they are woven. This makes it absolutely sunfast and tubfast—which, of course, is just what is wanted in materials for children's wear. Just by way of emphasizing gingham's tints, tints and designs to their utmost advantage, designers have taken to adding trimming of solid GAZETTE Subscribe a frocks are square-necked. Notwithstanding the enthusiasm for these new square effects the V-shapes have not by any means passed out of the fashion picture. Certainly the modishness of the V-shaped neck adds a most convincing style detail to the frock on the seated figure, and the huge flower posed so becomingly adds the finishing touch. Now that kerchief squares and scarves are so fashionable the flat necklines of the new frocks are doubly appreciated, for there is no interference of the collar. It is quite the proper thing to tie a big silken square in sailor fashion about one's neck these days. Indeed the vogue for the surah silk neck-kerchief is outstanding for spring. In lauding the square and V-necks one should not lose sight of the fact that the flat, round and boat necklines with bow or flower to one side are also in good form. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1927, Western Newspaper Union.) FULLY TRIMS BACKS FOR WEE TOTS color. The picture gives some idea of how effectively this compose scheme is being worked out in the matter of frocks for tots. This lovely little dress of rose and white gingham is collared and cuffed with a plain rose color. There is a cunning applique of the solid rose fabric, which disposes flower motifs encircling a wide hemline. The knee-strap bloomers are bound in a plain color to match the dress. It may not sound practical, but it really is, and a trial will convince—that of finishing the neckline and the sleeve edges, and also the bottom of the gingham dress with a narrow organdie ruffling. Have the organdie plot-edged. It is surprising how exquisitely it irons out. A blue and white checked gingham with delft blue organdie ruffling, an orange and brown gingham with an orange colored frilled edge, are suggested. There is a marked trend toward small checked and tiny plaided patterns in the newer gingham. Colored pearl buttons are a favorite trimming for the gingham frock. A pretty idea is to outline both collar and cuffs of the solid colored material with tiny bright washable flat buttons. The buttons are also attractive sewed on the ends of a self-fabric tie, or across a wee belt. A scalloped hemline also adds charm, especially if it be piped with a contrasting color or white. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (c. 1927. Western Newspaper Union.) KU KLUX KLAN! Segregation was born, many years ago, when Dr. Booker T. Washington made his famous Atlanta, Ga. speech, the outstanding statement of which was that "the colored and white people could live in this country separate as the fingers of the hand". From that time on, particularly the Ku Klux Klan in recent years, have steadily worked for segregation until now there is an organized movement thrust toward the north to separate (segregate) the two races or classes in all public places of accommodation, amusement, etc. This "separate-as-the-fingers of the hand" segregation-idea, born, in Atlanta, have said, many years ago, is now known. Recently, The Gazette were informed, by those in a position to know, that the segregation of our city of the city is primarily or "jim-crow" hospital was the local Ku Klux Klan and that their "Negro" allies were gained by the promise to secure ten thousand dollars and the use of an old, unuseful cow-knowing device. Recently, The Gazette were informed, by those in a position to know, that the segregation of our city of the city is primarily or "jim-crow" hospital was the local Ku Klux Klan and that their "Negro" allies were gained by the promise to secure ten thousand dollars and the use of an old, unuseful cow-knowing device. Recently, The Gazette were informed, by those in a position to know, that the segregation of our city of the city is primarily or "jim-crow" hospital was the local Ku Klux Klan, working to carry out its separation or segregation idea in this city. The additional fact that the establishment of a "jim-crow" hospital meant separate schools in this city for our children meant nothing to them. Therefore, the school they misguided friends became, knowingly or otherwise, the willing tools of the Ku Klux Klan of this city. That separate schools would mean the loss of about sixty of our seventy-five or eighty teachers in the local public schools, some of whom are wives of some of these very same doctors and other "Negro" jim-crow" hospital premises, or jim-crow" hospital perceived whatever but would undoubtedly do so, when too late to undo the harm done, should their scheme prove successful which there is now no likelihood of.
