Reynolds, since February, 1924, principal of Booker T. Washington High school, and prominent in affairs outside the field of education, died, recently, in his rooms at 919 Calvert St. Heart failure. He had been ill only a few days. Mr. Reynolds, who was 58, a native of Springfield, did not attend college, of that city, and of Wilberforce O. University, came to Norfolk to assume charge of the new Booker T. Washington school, one of the largest institutions of its kind in the country, upon completion of its new building, three years ago. He was held in high regard by the community in Norfolk was on a par with the service which, his recommendations showed, he had given at a number of other institutions in the South and North. He came here from Atlanta, where he was supervisor of University High school, a part of Clark University. Previously, he had been supervisor of the agricultural and industrial schools. Par. supervisor of our normal and industrial school at Maysville, S. C.; inspector of our schools at Tuskegee, Okla.; principal of our Maysville, Ky. high school.

Chicago, Ill.—Wealthy white society is having its ears tingled with choice morsels of alleged revelations, produced in the hearings of a suit, the aftermath of the recent divorce suit of Mrs. Harry L. Knowlton, which resulted in a decree for. Alleged friendship on the part of Mrs. Zulme Knowlton for Prince Kojo Tovalou-Houneu of Dahomey, Africa, is the ground on which Mr. Knowlton, wealthy consulting engineer, is resisting efforts of his divorced wife to have him punished for contempt of court because of failure to pay alimony. Their eighty-year old daughter is with the CORNELIUS W. McDOUGALD. New York City.—Alderman Henry W. Shields, who was recently named by Gov. Al Smith to serve on the Legislative Commission to examine the Decedent Estates Law, sent in his resignation and the vacancy was filled, last week, by the appointment of Atty. Cornellus W. McDougall. Mr. Shields resigned when* it was found that under Section 1544 of the New York City and state office could not be held at the same time. He is at present an Alderman from the Harlem district, and is a former member of the State Assembly, elected to both places on the Democratic ticket. Gov. Smith, a Democrat, broke precedent when he appointed Mr. Shields, for it is the first time that a member of the race has been so honored in the state of New York. This is the first time that the Democrats have said that the Democrats of New York have honored Atty. Cornellus McDougall with an appointment to an important and high salaried public position. THE COLOR LINE IN LABOR UNIONS To Be Opposed From Within the Federation if The Warning Issued By the Pennsylvania Branch is Heeded. The Gazette has received from John P. Troxell, of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor, a copy of a resolution unanimously passed by that body at its twenty-sixth annual convention in Harrisburg, Pa., May 10 to 13, in which all labor unions are urged to admit Afro-Americans to membership on equal terms with all other men. The resolution also mandated the Pennsylvania delegate to the convention of the American Federation of Labor to introduce a similar resolution there. The resolution as sent by Mr. Troxell is as follows: WHEREAS. Many of our unions exclude Afro-Americans from membership, sometimes by explicit constitutional provision, and sometimes by subterfuges and technicalities; we have no formal agreement with the very fundamental of democracy and brotherhood, upon which our labor movement is built; and the Afro-American has time and again shown that he can be a loyal union man, more often loyal than the white worker at his elbow; and if we bar him from our unions, he would be a nonunion man, for he must make a living, and the employers are hiring him in constantly increasing numbers; therefore be it RESOLVED. That we declare in favor of his full and open membership in all unions, on exactly the same terms as all other men; and that we pledge ourselves to work for the eventual realization of discrimination prevails against him in our own locals and internationals; and that our delegate to the coming A. F. of L. convention be instructed to introduce a resolution of the same effect as this one. Be it further. RESOLVED. That the officers of our Federation be instructed to give this resolution the widest practicable publicity throughout the labor press. Poro College Settlement. St. Louis, Mo.—Prof. A. E. M. Malone received about $40,000 in cash to be held in escrow until the terms of the agreement are compiled with. The costs allowed in the case for court and receivership were set at $8,000. Attorney's have authorized a statement that Mrs. Annie E. Malone keeps all the real estate in her name. Mr. Malone keeps all in his name except two valuable pieces which she is holding because she are the homes which she provided for old couples. These he reconveyed. Pope Confers Cross on Borno. Rome, Italy.—The Pope has ordered the grand cross of the Order of St. Gregory the Great conferred upon Louis Borno, president of Haiti, as a reward and recognition of the recent establishment of a Haitian legation at the holy site. The decision was transmitted through Mrr. Carman, papal nuncio in Haiti and apostolic delegate to the Antilles. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE KNAVE!" Darrow Also Says the Only Place the Afro-American Knows Equality Is on the Firing Line in WarATTACKS OUR SELF-IMPOSED POLITICAL LEADERS WHO SELL US OUT—Feels Like Apologizing for His People and Does So His Tribute to John Brown at the Martyr's Grave. Philadelphia, Pa. "Before an estimated crowd of 1,500 people at the Metropolitan Opera house, last week Monday evening, Clarence Darrow, noted lawyer, humanitarian and friend of the oppressed everywhere, held his audience enaptured, not so much by his eloquence, but by his masterly handling of many works with great analytical and emotional bits of humor and irony seldom equaled in this city. "I sincerely hope for the day to come when I can address an audience of colored people the same as I would speak to an audience of white people," the great lawyer began. "In talking to colored people, perhaps I am a white man—I guess. I don't know. If I should go back a thousand years, don't know what color the people are. The color is not white. He is asher gray. If I were to seek beauty, I don't know if I should find it all in one race. Why are Negroes treated as they are. Is it their color? I have seen East Indians with their dark complexion in this country occupy the best rooms in our finest hotels. If it is a swarthy Indian it is all right. We settled the Indian question by killing them. We had to kill them. The white man is not in our work. O, the Nordics are logical. We are interested in the souls of the Chinese. The farther away a people the more interested we become. We are interested in humanity over the world, except at home. We send missionaries to save the Chinese. I imagine the Y. Chinese or the white. I not the Jimmy the white. I not the black. We are not established by white Christians—is deeply interested in the North. The Negro in the North has lost ground in the last 25 years. During that time three amendments to protect his rights were passed and in several states laws were enacted for his protection. Today there is not one state in the Union which does not violate the three amendments. We have not entitled to equal services in public places and the very people loudest in their advocacy of the Eighteenth Amendment are the very ones who call me "nullifier" and who daily violate these amendments. There is a lot of "bunk" in this world. There is no great public demand for the rights of color. Oh, no, it's because the champions of the Negro now are numerous. We have no Summer here were statesmen in those days. We had a president named Lincoln. He's been dead some time now and no one has taken his place. His name is used to get votes and that's all. They say the Negro is lazy and yet when a white men does happen to work he says. I worked like a n. I worked like a n. You in the South, but they keep soldiers on guard to keep you from leaving. In the North they give you work, but no place to sleep. They don't complain of association with Negroes if they fix the terms. The blackest woman can ride in a Pullman provided she carries a white baby in her lap. Is it because of color? Oh, no, it's because the badge of slavery is upon you. Color has nothing to do with the number of Ys. You are only nine years removed from slavery and the whites are only a little farther away. White and black slaves worked side-by-side in Rome. It takes a long time to side in race. Scientists know no such thing as a race. Are colored people a race? Let's see. Adam was the first man God ever made. Theology teaches that all men are descended from Adam. All human beings are of the same race. Differences of race are due to climate, habitation, food, clothing, and so forth. I sympathize with your race because all races in America but yours are of the same race. Differences of race are captured and brought here. Of course, I know that all of you are not the descendants of colored people, or why do you have so many colors? It must be that so many white women have raped colored men. You have been here 300 years, working for nothing in the land of the free and the home of the knave. Then came manic manipulation. You got domy by the conduct of your fellowmen. You were liberated, but not freed. The white man wants you to keep in your place and that place is behind the white man.

Talk about conquering the South—they conquered us—to get trade. Rotary clubs are formed all over the country and the members cooperate in the interest of trade. Now, in the interest of trade, Now, I come to the conclusion that whatever you get, you have to get it your self. You can't get it from the whites and you can't get it out of the skies. Life is so serious 'till it is ridiculous. Life is a burden. Three years ago I made a trip to the South, I asked everywhere are New Yorkers asked everywhere are they getting any more money?" Education and property give strength. In proportion as you get both, you get freedom. Now, as to the things you have lost. The idealism and the glamor of the old days are gone. You have gotten to where you can stand alone and it's just as well to fight it out by yourselves. Not all the whites are against you. Not all the blacks are against you could be president. Every day that is becoming more true. Science rules today and will rule tomorrow. We are giving up the dead bunk of today for the living reality. You never had but one weapon with which to fight—the ballot, and you have thrown that away. Everywhere in the United States of America you have been sold out by a bunch of colored politicians. If you want to get anything out of your pocket, you should have thought very little of colored people of Chicago if they hadn't voted for Mayor Thompson and I'm an independent Democrat. I should like to see the colored vote independent. You would then hear from it. You are traveling a dark and sometimes bloody road, but art, science and destiny are all on your side." Dr. J. Max Barber a prominent local dentist, preceded and in announcing the speaker, paid a glowing $100,000 to a philosopher and humanitarian. Music was furnished by the Sesquilentennial chorus, under the direction of Prof. J. F. Hester. Darrow on John Brown, Martyr. Lake Placid, N. Y. - Clarence Darrow of Chicago, speaking at the recent fifth annual pilgrimage here of the John Brown Memorial Association to Brown's grave, paid a glowing tribute to our people in picking John Brown to our heir, and the 127th anniversary of John Brown's birth. "America ought to be glad to build a monument to John Brown, and ashamed to let the 'Negroes' take the lead," he said. "He was one of America's great men. My father was his friend and I unhesitatingly endorse my father's good judgment in the more pleasurable than to journey here to pay this tribute to John Brown. He was a righteous man; a right man; a man who was an instrument in the hands of a higher power. As then, so now—the radical of today is the conservative of tomorrow and other martyrs take up the rock where we are and the world plants its weary feet upon the silvery and blood-soaked sand where men like John Brown died." ```markdown ``` IF YOU INSIST UPON PLAYING KISSING GAMES AT MY BIRTHDAY PARTY, YOU D MIGHT AS WELL CALL IT OFF!...

President Borno of Haiti would be a huge joke weren't the consequences so serious. Can you enthuse over the probable candidacy for renomination of President Calvin "Color-line" Coolidge? We can't! Confreres don't kick a man because it is thought that he is down. Prof. A. E. Malone is a very sick man, mentally if not also physically. The Pennsylvania Federation of Labor is wise. It can see into the immediate future and warns its co-workers in time and in the politiest way. They'd better heed, too. ` If Ohio Republicans are foolish enough to renominate the defeated candidates for governor and lieutenant-governor, Messrs. Cooper and Mills, respectively, they will surely go down to defeat again. If President Coolidge doesn't "watch out", Al. Smith, as governor of New York State, will soon give Afro-Americans more good paying positions of class than he has given in all of his five or six years in office and Al. won't have "to go far" to do this, either. Every one will rejoice that the Poro College litigation is at last at an end and that the officious receiver, and the attorneys and courts of St. Louis can no longer draw on the assets of that leading race business enterprise. For this, if for nothing else, Mrs. Annie E. Malone and the race are to be congratulated. If ever there was a perfect exemplification of the old saying that "the fool of today is the wise man of tomorrow" it has been furnished in the success of the recent aeroplane flight from New York to Paris by Capt. Chas. Lindbergh often referred to, previous to his latest "stunt", as "the flying fool". His wonderful feat has astounded the world and takes first rank among the exploits of the most venturesome since the beginning of time. Edgar P. Benjamin of Boston, one of our leading and undoubtedly most philanthropic lawyer, has given a typical New England residence, with about two acres of land, to Boston as a home for aged and convalescents without regard to race, color or creed. The rooms of the building are being furnished at a cost of $225 each. Boston churches and organizations assisting in this. Mr. Benjamin, a fine man, has a number of friends in this city whom he has visited several times in recent years. The Gazette lends its heartfelt sympathy to the near relatives of Prof. Charles W. Reynolds who passed out recently at Norfolk, Va., where he had served well, for the past three years, our people of that city as principal of their high school, "Charlie" Reynolds, as he was familiarly addressed by his scores of friends and acquaintances throut his native state, are all very proud of his success as an educator and feel keenly his loss. From a race viewpoint, Prof. Reynolds was a positive quantity in the effort from within to promote the progress of the race. Clarence Darrow assembles his facts and states them in so plain and simple a way that all who read cannot fail to understand. That is one reason why the man has such a wonderful hold on the masses of poor people of this country, and is so successful in the practice of his profession, the law. Of course, he is as brave as he is able, and that helps "some". Alabama or Georgia "crackers" (we've forgotten which) cut short his visit in the South, a few months ago, because he talked in behalf of our people, but they didn't close his mouth, did they? He is simply a wonderful man. Dr. C. Lee Jefferson insists that he signed and published the statement of the ministers' committee, which met at Mt. Zion church, although another one of our local ministers on the committee insists to the contrary. Both gentlemen are among our leading local clergymen. We publish the foregoing as a matter of fairness to Dr. C. Lee Jefferson. The statement, referred to, was relative to the defunct "jim-crow" Mercy Hospital Association movement. Atlanta, Ga. policy-holders of the Standard Life Insurance Company, formerly of that city, that "went on the rocks", several years ago, are fighting the absorption of what is left of the company by the National Benefit Life Insurance Co., headquarters, Washington, D. C. After the "crash", a southern white insurance company bought the Standard's remains. A few months ago, it was announced that the National Benefit had secured them. Then it was that the Atlanta policy-holders "got busy", and the end is not yet, it seems. Up to the time of its failure, the Standard was regarded as our greatest business venture in that field of enterprise. Its failure and those of a number of our banks, prior to and since the Standard's, have been food for much thought on the part of many of our leading men and women. WE HAVE THE REMEDY Our observation has been that no President, Republican or Democrat, has been able to resist successfully the miasma or race prejudice at Washington, regardless of what his personal feelings might be upon the subject. Theodore Roosevelt yielded to it and Woodrow Wilson could not resist its impetus and now it seems that Calvin Coolidge, hailing from the free State of Massachusetts, is stalled and away from the same crowning infamy of the American Republic.—Richmond (Va.) Planet. The foregoing is true, at least as far as our life-time is concerned, except the fact that, President Thomas Woodrow Wilson promoted instead of "resisted its impetus". The condition complained of is going to continue until our people learn to refuse to vote for or to vote against such Presidents when candidates for re-election. ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY Of Our Press Celebrated A-Statistical Survival by a Former Washington, D. C.—With oratory, marshalled statistics and provoking stunts of humor and satire, the Muso-Lit club recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Afro-American press. Considerable of the speechmaking centered around our first newspaper, the Afro-American newspaper, which was published in New York in 1827. Covering this history, Robert Pelham, former resident of Detroit, statistician in the census bureau, gave a complete statistical survey of our journals during the last 102 years. Following the birth of Freedom's Journal, which grew out of resentment to opposing slavery, the following anti-slavery papers were established: The Weekly Advocate, The Elevator, The National Watchman and Clarion. The Mystery, The Genius of Freedom, The_Ram's Horn, The North Star, Frederick Douglass editor; The Imperial Citizen, the Mirror of the Times, The Herald of Freedom, The Colored Citizen, the Anglo-American, and the Colored Times. There were 22 anti-slavery newspapers listed between 1827 and 1859, according to Mr. Pelham. There are over 200 race newspapers now. Burleigh's 33 Years' Service. New York City—Harry T. Burleigh completed thirty-three years, Sunday, of consecutive service as baritone solist *p* of the wealthy and fashionable St. George's P. E. church, 16th St. and St. Stuyvesant square, and the event was celebrated at 4 p. m. vesper services. The organist-chormaster arranged a special program of "Negro" spirituals, all arranged by Mr. Burleigh, save one arrangement by Clarence H. and Cassius sung by the full vested choir of St George's, Mr. Burleigh singing four solos.

The second game which was stopped in the fourth inning by rain, with the score a tie, 2 to 3, was finally won by the Buckeyes. Score, 4 to 2. Left Stevens stole the Stars their team with a slow run. The Buckeyes took four of the five games played. Their star southpaw struck out eleven, breezing the last six batters who faced him. Alonzo held the locals to three hits, errors giving them two runs in the sixth stanza. Twelve-hits produced but a single run for the Clevelanders in the first game, fourteen runners being left stranded on the paths. Masons' $35,000 Home.

WhatSome EditorsSay (Note: Following are some extracts from editorials in Ohio newspapers relative to the proposed law to place additional taxes on public utilities. The Kumler Bill With but one dissenting vote, the Taxation Committee of the Ohio Senate has recommended for passage the Kumler bill which would increase the excise tax on public service corporations 25 per cent. Is this fair? What if the state is desperately in need of finances, is it fair that the public corporations be made the goat? And the sad part of it comes when these same public utility concerns ask for increases in rates in order to meet the heavy womens made upon them by the state in the form of taxes. We cannot gain anything on this sort of legislation. Why rob Peter to pay Paul?—Ashland Gazette Discriminatory Taxation Determination Task The taxation problem in Ohio is already more than the traffic can bear. If something is not done industry will continue avoiding and leaving the state to avoid the burdensome evil of over-taxation. Among the revenue-raising measures under consideration by the Senate's special committee are proposals to increase the franchise tax on corporations and an execlise tax on public utilities. Both these measures should be approached with great caution and especially is this true of the excise tax on the gross receipts of the utilities of the state. This is a penalty tax on the increased use of public utilities and, of course, falls quickly on the people. The utility users must pay the tax plus additional costs to the government as a consumer of public utility facilities, must pay their heavy products well as the individual. Naturally and rightly they protest against being pushed farther and farther into the tax collecting business with higher and higher taxes forcing them to raise rates. Dayton Journal.

Turner, 3015 Scovill Ave., and Robert Cash, 3046 Scovill Ave. They are charged with housebreaking. A "surprise party" given by Mrs. Marie Hughes, 32, 2373 E. 30th St., evolved into a series of surprises that terminated in police court, Monday, when she_was fined $100 and costs for the possession of liquor. The first surprise came when Patrolman Wm. Zimlich of the "roaring third" precinct, attracted by the party, caught a half gallon of wine from a window of the house. Various surprises followed, including the arrest of Mrs. Hughes and the action in police court. Conditions in the "Roaring Third" police precinct of this city are TER-RIBLE, from a moral viewpoint, and it is positively silly for any one to try to create the impression in this community that such is not the case. Why our churches in that section of the city continue to fail to do their clear duty in the matter is one of the things it is simply impossible to explain. Lord, have mercy! Luna Park, Cleveland, is notorious for its insulting color-lines, drawn against our people in its dance-hall, roller-rink and bathing pool. Those of us who have self and race-respect will stay out of that park, and be included in going to patronize any sort of entertainment or entertainment. That would be giving the Luna Park management our hard-earned money for gratuitously insulting us. There is no class or race of people in this community except ours who are so discriminated against. Even the lowest of all other classes (races) are included there all and every day to enjoy all of its attractions of various kinds. Stay out of color-line Luna Park! We suggest to the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. the advisability of breaking down the Luna Park color-lines by invoking the aid of our Ohio Civil Rights law. This would be SERVICE to our people of this community such as that organization has never as yet given, and they are entitled to it because of the hundreds of dollars they have paid into the organization since the inception of the local branch.

What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted.

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 Harding; and reached its sixth year in 1919. 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 engraving. He segregated the blacks and whites in this city because it restricted white people, white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one, it was begun by Republicans, and it has all-cmbracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany papers, is tenacious on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored girl appeared after being 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 will not appoint a Negro clerk, word is law to the contrary, the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina, the home of the nineteen 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 democratic opposition here, because 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 he found in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postfive segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious 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. And physical discomfort, the disqualified as it is, is far less giving to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes the forms of the whites, for comfort of the latter, and setting forth 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 whiles and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, a com for t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of department, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dances and pleasant social evening with the officials for "the post-empire 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 on, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get the colored as well. Elvine gives 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 through their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. Obedied clerks have dared to form a union which will be regularly and often works simply 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 a large cafeteria. This huge structure 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 promotion. Here, the law of superior inferior pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall a young Afro-American spindle should record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office to help with the smart negroes who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence, they charged him and covered the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted 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 result of their prosecution and imprisonment by Robert B. Lolette. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem- der or 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 at the house appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their place." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! abolition of the division altogetner; 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 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 loe a white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Oswald Garrison and the N.A.R.C. to attack White House and Cabinet and make our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau ait together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that /braham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED and the teachers they work with and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. The our people are the hope of the institution, the last order to destroying this inquisitive nature 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, the great Hamilton came from the West 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, knew that a national country has known, as developed, the 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. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing more than 100,000 groves are so scares there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and far no longer. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilets, 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 wear masks. The department stire 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 people who create it. 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 registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Gartfield 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. Single stroke of his pen. President 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 night against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, bearer board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. I had wiped up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcures An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: P. O.

GINGHAM TAKES A PLACE OF PROMINENCE IN THE MODE THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES PANTIE PLAY-FROCKS IMPORTANT IN WEE TOTS' SUMMER WARDROBE F ROMANCE in fashionland! Gingham, yes, simple everyday gingham, has been promoted from the plebeian class into the ranks of the aristocrat. After all these years spent in the kitchen, the schoolroom, the nursery and the playground, as a medium for housedress, bungalow apron and play-frock, behold! gingham is making its debut at the country club, on the golf links, on the tennis courts and even on the avenues-and the boulevards. It is a fact, society is turning out in gingham frocks at many a smart daytime event now that the mode is high-lighting cotton weaves as of outstanding style appeal. It is really amazing to see the smart styling which fashionists are giving to gingham. In this picture are two exponents of the new gingham movement. A pincheck in the popular black-and-white makes an arresting ensemble costume as illustrated to the left. A three- PANTIE PLAY-FROG IN WEE TOTS' S LKE so many little animated daffodils and buttercups will wee tots be looking this Maytime and summer time, too, for Dame Fashion is informing mothers that until further notice yellow will rank as one of the very popular colors for little folks' dresses. This preference for yellow is evidenced throughout all fabric showings, especially ginghams, organdies, volles and dotted swisses. Included also in the list are dainty printed dimities and plques, with flowerets scattered all over their surface or perhaps dots or plu-stripes of yellow. A pliping of solid yellow, or cuffs and collars of yellow add a charming touch to frocks made of the printed fabrics. If the dress be white then cunning embroidery or applique in yellow is suggested or smocking, fagoting or cross-stitch with yellow thread or floss. An important item in the wee tots' wardrobe is the pantie-dress. The one in the picture is made of yellow and white gingham. The collar, cuffs and pockets are finished with a buttonhole stitch worked in black and white floss. The tiny duck in the center is embroidered in black and white. GAZETTE Subscribe af quarter length coat of the gingham is posed over a straight one-piece dress of the same fabric. The vertical tucks suggest a panel at both back and front. Since it is the proper thing to line the coat throughout, in this instance a soft melon shade of gingham has been used for the purpose. The eton jacket suit to the right is made of hunter's green gingham with a fine block design outlined with a single thread of lighter green to which the bias banded trimmings have been matched. That which is true of gingham is true of all cotton weaves—they have taken a place of prominence in the mode. Cotton prints which have every appearance of silk are made up with painstaking care, their appearance warranting their wear at any before-six-o'clock occasions. Printed cotton crepes are also a very smart item. Bouffant frilly organdies for summer evening wear are in anticipation, too. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1927. Western Newspaper Union.) KS IMPORTANT SUMMER WARDROBE An item of importance to remember in connection with children's dresses is this—sleeves are most often of the ragan type. A reason for this is that the peasant-type frock is "all the rage" for little girls this season and that the ragan sleeve is one of its characteristic features. Smocking, fagoting and cross-stitching are being lavished on wearing apparel for youngsters. Thus is color introduced in all its gayest moods. Two other phases of handcraft are applique and quilting effects. The former expresses itself in quaint animal figures and flowers and even picture-book scenes are worked out in applique. Plain color quilted with gay threads is very new as a trimming for juvenile clothes. Youngsters are dressing in ensemble as well as grownups, according to the new styles coming in for summer. These include cunning printed sheer frocks, with hats of the same fabric. Quaint little bonnet shapes are shredded, having quite large scoop brims. Some are lace-trimmed placing little rosettes of valenciennes edging about the crown and brim. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. ( @ 1927. Western Newspaper Union. ) E After Reading "To What Base Uses Have We Come?"

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.
