VICIOUS KU KLUX KLAN SENTIMENT VICIOUS KU KLUX KLAN SENTIMENT BEING USED IN AN EFFORT TO DEFEAT A NATIVE BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN. A Great Mass Meeting Endorses His Candidacy for Mayor and the Outlook Is Joseph E. Julius Will Be Triumphantly Nominated—The Editor of "The Gazette" a Speaker. (Special to The Gazette.) Campbell, O.—There is a hot fight on here between two factions of the local Republican party to nominate its candidates for city offices. The present mayor, Roy Gordon, former postmaster, has served two terms and is seeking a third one, altho he promised not to ask for it he sought, he might be nominated. His opponent, City Solicitor Joseph E. Julius, who is closing his first term of office, managed both the mayor's former campaigns so successfully that he is now managing one for himself, with a most promising outlook, indeed. A nomination in this city, former East Youngstown, is equivalent to an election owing to the small number of the moral vineyard." Last Friday night, the campaign was opened with a bang with a great "Julius" massmeeting in Hamrock Hall which was packed to the doors and windowsills, many persons being unable to at all. Approximately one-fourth of the audience was Afro-American. The speakers were Mr. Julius, other candidates for city office, and City Solicitor Clay Smith, editor of The Gazette, who had been made short of the all of the candidates made short, snappy and very satisfactory talks, particularly Michael E. Danko, candidate for city solicitor, and City Solicitor Joseph E. Julius, candidate for mayor. Their telling arguments were greeted with wonderous applause and impressed witness. When the editor of The Gazette arose to speak, he was given an ovation, the large audience arising to its feet and cheering wildly. Mr. Smith has spoken here several times in the last three or four years and is very popular with the masses of the people without reference to race, class or color. His address, much of which is given herewith, was frequently punctuated with roaring, spontaneous laughter, and close in a demonstration such as is seldom witnessed in public meetings of any kind. Mr. Smith's address, in part: Ladies and Gentlemen: Your local candidates and other speakers have kept you here so late (it was nearly 10:30 p. m.), I hesitate to start to talk to you at this hour; so will not keep you long. This great mass meeting, crowded that has, as has always been the case and that here knows thorny what that purpose is. The meeting is an outpouring of citizens of Campbell who are determined to make City Solicitor Joseph E. Julius the next mayor of this thriving, little city. Judging from what preceding speakers have said, a dangerous effort is being made in this local campaign to array citizens against citizens simply because they are not truly a try of old American stock, others are naturalized citizens, termed "foreigners," and still others are the sons and daughters of naturalized citizens. Indeed, this pernicious effort has been carried to my people of this community, and an effort is Joseph E. Julius. being made to array them against Mr. Julius' candidacy and others on his ticket because he and they, the born in this country, are sons of foreign-born parents. The fight on "foreigners", citizens of foreign birth and their sons born in this country, is a Ku Klux Klan tenet. Opposition to "Negroes", Jews, Catholics and foreign-born citizens holding office in this country is the very foundation of the Ku Klux Klan. Therefore, for my purpose, I can mobilize to array themselves on the side of the supporters of a Ku Klux Klan tenet, assisting those opposed to "foreigners", as the enemy terms these citizens, holding the office of mayor of this city or any other office, is for them to give aid and assistance to the Ku Klux Klan not only of this community but of the entire country. A very large proportion of the citizen-population of this country is of foreign birth. Many of our leading and best statesmen of years gone by, and today, were born in the country (citizen) element in Cleveland, Campbell and throughout this country has been among the best friends of my people and we should ally ourselves with them at all times in preference to assisting those, whether they be members of the Ku Klux Klan or not, who seek to promote opposition to foreignborn citizens or their sons and daughters born in this country holding public office. Do not ally yourselves with any people who would seek to promote such unnecessities and promote the progress of citizens of Campbell, or anywhere else in this country. Do not help to promote Ku Klux Klanism, the greatest hindrance to the progress of my people everywhere in this country. Joseph E. Julius was born in this country; so was M. E. Danko, candidate for city solicitor. They are among the most prominent people in Campbell or anywhere else in this country, and with their colleagues on the same ticket should receive the unanimous support of my people of this community who are not only opposed to the Ku Klux Klan but also to those who invoke Klan tenets and methods. Ku Klux Klanism is an enemy to our government, if for no other reason than to promote friction among citizens of a common country. I want my people of Campbell to understand this thoroly and govern themselves accordingly. Do not be misled by men of our class or race who for profit have allied themselves with the enemy, for any man or woman who promote Ku Klux Klanism. We must promote our race and the government. Stand by the so-called "foreigners" of this community. They are your best friends and you know it. I spoke in Campbell several times at the request of your mayor thru Mr. Julius, manager of his campaigns. I sat on a platform here and heard your mayor ask for two terms and two terms only, saying that was all he wanted. He has had them and that is one reason why I am here light speaking in the interest of Mr. Julius' candidacy. He was loyal and faithful in his support of the mayor's candidacies and has "THE WALK-IN-THE-WATER" Interesting Reminiscence of the Great Northwest Visited by Tourists and Others, Every Summer. The season for holiday cruising on the Great Lakes is comparatively short, extending over a period of not much more than 70 days; beginning in earnest when the public schools close for the summer vacation and ending in mid-September, although the lake boasts continue to run until November, according to A. A. A. Schantz, president of the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation company, operating steamboat lines between Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and Chicago. "The educational value of a summer outing in the Land O' Lakes attracts thousands of cultured tourists to a walk the coast of the romance of the early exploration of the great northwest centers in the vast basin of the Great Lakes, which constitute the largest body of fresh water in the world," said Mr. Schantz. "Such relics of the past as the old fort at Mackinac Island and the grave of Pere Marquette in the little church at St. Ignace are visited each summer by throngs who are interested in the story of the boid explorers like Nicolet, Joliet and La Vieille, the maritime museum of the west to civilization, and the labors of Marquette and others to convert the savage Indians. "La Salle, in 1682, built the 'Griffon', the first boat that ever explored the waters of the upper lakes. The first American built boat on Lake Erie was put into commission in 1795, and the first steamboat, the Black Rock N. Y., was built at Black Rock N. Y. in 1818. The Walk-In-The-Water and the steamboats that followed her did a thriving business transporting emigrants to the West. "The passenger steamers operating on the Great Lakes, today, are the largest and best equipped ships afloat on the inland waters of the world are patronized by tourists who seek adventure and recreation during the summer months in Michigan. The broad decks of the cruisers are turned into playgrounds for the passengers, and concerts, dancing and deck games help to make these lake and river tours very enjoyable." Japanese Marrying Our Women. Los Angeles, Cal.—Inter-marriages between Japanese men and our women in this state are increasing daily due to the fact that the stringent U. S. immigration laws and the stopping of "picture bride" importations to California have resulted in a surplus of 15,000 Japanese men over the total number of Women in this state. Homes are invariably sought in our cleaner, modern homes where the two races live in harmony and in many cases intelligent, beautiful children bless these unions. been a loyal and faithful city official, as you know. He has earned the position and I believe will be given it in spite of the very questionable methods resorted to by the opposition. A man's word should be his bond. Mayor Gordon asked for two terms and was given them. Since he will not step aside at this time, the voters of the city of Campbell, MN, and the City of Montana nominate at the primaries of Joseph E. Julius. The rule of the Republican party generally is two terms in an office and no more. When Mr. Julius has served a second term, nominate and elect some one else to the place and observe the party rule which should and undoubtedly will be observed at the forthcoming primary in the case of your mayor's candidacy for a third term. In the case of the rescue of the tax-payers of this community and in many cases secured a reduction of taxes for them, he helped every renter of a room, house, store, etc. in this community, because they pay taxes whether they know it or not and are helped by every reduction of taxes. The mayor failed you in that instance. He and not Mr. Julius should have led in that effect, as the speakers who have been nominated for the position of A man who will make sacrifices for his constituents such as City Solicitor Jos. E. Julius has made for many individuals of this community during his term of office, cannot fail of nomination and surely ought not to. In closing I wish to again warn my people of the city of Campbell that the individual, white or black, who will come to you talking against the so-called foreign element of this community, American citizens, is promoting Ku Klux Klanism which is more harmful to you than any other class in this community or the day of the primary so vote as to teach them a much-needed lesson. Help to make Joseph E. Julius mayor of Campbell and in so doing promote not only your own interests but those of all of the residents of this thriving, little, industrial city. Everyone of you take out your handkerchief! If you haven't one, use your hat or fan. Now wave them as high as you can in the air and let us give Mr. Julius the Chauquaita salute. FINE! Now go out and work like "tigers" in the interest of the Julius ticket, from top to bottom and for no reason and all outchuck the percussion Ku Klux Klan opposition to "foreigners" (American citizens), "Negroes", Jews and Catholics holding public office in Campbell or any other city or town in this country. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "SIMPLYWON'T RESTRAIN HIMSELF" SAYS WHAT HE WANTS TO ANYWHERE, EVEN ABOUT OUR PEOPLE. Being on the Unpopular Side of Most Questions Gives Him No Concern, But Apparently a Great Deal Does Darrow. of Satisfaction—Speaks the Truth Fearlessly, That man, Clarence Darrow, simply won't restrain himself. He continues to go around saying the most outrageous things, shooting witticisms, barbed with truth, at the irrational and unjust behavior of his fellow men. They are his fellow men, he admits—the worst and the best of them—and while he says that he has never expected a great deal from them he is just naturally the kind of man who will speak his mind. As a philosophic and very human person, he finds himself on the unpopular side of most questions. On the Negro question, for example, he is scandalously at odds with the Nordic propaganda tribe. He is not impressed by high-flown talk about race, but says: "I know we are all men and one too good that." He says this to a sociocentric frankness, to an audience of Negroes in Cincinnati, as reported by "The Daily Commercial Tribune" of that city. And Darrow does not claim himself to be "pure white". He expresses himself humanly not racially, in this manner: "Speaking for myself, I am not white. I am an ashen gray. Color is a matter of taste. Some like green clothes. Some like white clothes. He likes a blonde his wife is apt to be a brunette." No respect there, you see, for the color superstition which is such an important article in the American credo. Darrow is not typically American in that he regards Negroes as human beings. He would like to see the color question disappear and be seen in another subject than man fully and "man's inhumanity to man." "I wish," he says, "I might live long enough to speak to an audience of colored people on some other subject than color—but I fear I never shall." At present, the color question is one of unescapable and grievous importance. Darrow is too bold and honest a man to ignore this question, to fail in plain speaking about it. Before an audience of colored men, he was a vivid colored "white" men he, as an "ashen gray" man, describes with fine sarcasm: "White men accuse Negroes of being shiftless and lazy and when they put in a hard day's work they boast of 'working like a n—'." "Negroes are dirty—but they are not too dirty to wash clothes for white people to wear; Negro women are untidy—but they may cook the meat at the white ladies eat. "The white man makes heaven as a place where white angels smore in bed till noon, white colored angels get up when the alarm clock rings to do the celestial chores. "You are Christians—some of you—and the white man sells you a Y. M. C. A., but it's a 'jim-crow' Y. M. C. A. It won't do to put white Christians and black Christians together, for that displease the white Christians' God, although that God is supposed to have given all men their common father—Adam. "The white Christians and the black Christians both are destined to go to the same heaven—wherever is. That is something I can't understand. The Christian does not associate with the black Christian here how can you expect he will associate with him up there? The best they can do for the black Christian is to build a 'jim-crow' department in heaven:" It is funny; and it strikes me that any Christian who ponders on the possible arrangements that may be made in heaven must wobble in his faith or be upheld in it by a total absence of humor. It is true, however, that Christians do not think very definitely what the political and social customs, the racial standards and the generalities of heaven may be. Ideas about heaven are as vague as the word "heaven" itself, as vague as the identical word, "Nowhere." It is certain that a plan of heaven, actually drawn and submitted to Christians, would add greatly to the dissension among the already sadly separated Christian folds. There would be partisanship and prejudice over heavenly issues as over human issues on earth. The race problem might be solved by having an entirely separate heaven for the Negroes, or by having more likely it to be as Darrow suggest, the white angels taking their ease and the black angels doing the "celestial chores." But see what an irrepressible critic Darrow is. He respects nothing— IN-UNION IS STRENGTH COPY FIVE CENTS ARROW ESTRAIN HIMSELF" TO ANYWHERE, EVEN FOR PEOPLE. side of Most Questions Gives apparently a Great Deal arrow. is the Truth Fearlessly, that seems to him foolish. Superstition, whether of the Christian or the Nordic persuasion, looks much alike to him. He links the dogmas Clarence Darrow. of religion and the prejudices of race, irreverently exposing the folly of both.

The "Negro" who says this is not so is only trying to please some prejudiced white person or persons. That is all. --- Some twenty-five or thirty appointments (for one year) to the staffs of five local hospitals were announced by Community Fund headquarters, Saturday. Of course, there will be more and our forty-five thousand Cleveland residents properly recognized if for no other reason than for their loyal support of the Community Fund, each year. We are greatly pleased to note that at last some of our newspapers are beginning to awaken to the fact that the great majority of the so-called "news releases" received by them, almost weekly, should be consigned to the waste-basket principally because many of them are simply efforts to secure some free advertising for some individual, organization or business concern. The Gazette is not one of "our newspapers that has been imposed upon by 'news releases' from our own business concerns", or others. --- ELKS MEET IN JERSEY CITY. The warring factions of the Elks have finally compromised their differences as to the place of their annual national meeting, this year, by agreeing to hold all of its social functions in New York City and the business sessions and parade in Jersey City, N. J. Much as we would have liked to have had the Elks with us again, this year, in Cleveland, much more pleased are we over this amicable settlement of a difference that was bidding fair to split the order into two or more factions. The leaders of the organization are to be highly complimented on this very satisfactory settlement of their difference as to the place of this year's annual meeting. As we read his letter, State Senator John F. Burke, president of the Elyria "Y", did say that our boys were swimming in the pool of the Elyria "Y" before and after the sad death at Oberlin of Ted Hansbary of this city. He wrote as follows: "Colored youths are swimming here, today. They were here, last week, and that condition is not unusual." If we are in error, in our understanding of the foregoing from the Senator's letter, we trust he will set us right. In the five years we have known him, we have always found Mr. Burke a broadminded, able and honorable man; far too high-minded to stoop to mislead anyone, especially in a matter of this kind. DISFRANCHISEMENT MOST IMPORTANT. Since the ballot is the very foundation of all our rights and privileges in this country, in common with many others we feel that the National Association for the Advancement of our People should have paid far more attention than it did to the matter of disfranchisement, in its "annual address to the American people" adopted at its recent meeting in Indianapolis. Disfranchisement is by far the most important problem confronting our people of the country. It is true there are other very serious and important problems—mob violence (lynching), "jim-crow" (interstate) cars, federal and residential segregation, the South's school "system" and peonage—but none of them equal disfranchisement in importance to the race. Indeed, all of them combined do not do so. With this exception, the N. A. A. C. P.'s latest annual address is a good one. "JIM CROW" HOSPITAL, AGAIN. Cleveland, Ohio, July 13, 1927. Editor The News, City, Dear Sir: That the great majority of the Colored people of this community, which includes a majority of their leading doctors, are decidedly opposed to the establishment of the so-called Mercy Hospital for Colored people of this city, which a very few colored doctors are still trying to promote them an appeal to the public for funds, was evidenced for the third or fourth time, recently, by the doctors' failure to hold a mass meeting at Mt. Zion Cong. temple and to have success with a free dinner in the Phillis Wheatley annex. The meeting and the dinner were intended to promote the doctors' campaign for funds. Benjamin T. Johnson, director of their campaign, is a recent comer to the city from Canton and in the employ of the aforementioned colored doctors. He is asking the friends of the colored people of this city for $220,000 which should NOT be contributed because there is no public need of a colored hospital in Cleveland. If the few colored doctors must finance it themselves, as others have done in other cities, and not ask the public for funds with which to do it. The total indebtedness of the local colored churches is between $600,000 and $1,000,000. Many of them have drives on now with a view to raising funds to wipe out their indebtedness. If the public, friends of the colored people in this community, have money to contribute to assist my people, let them give it to the colored churches that sorely need it and not make the mistake of helping to promote a colored hospital to satisfy the overweening desire of a few colored doctors for jobs and publicity. They can "make their contribution to medical science" thrue the medium of a private hospital established and maintained by themselves. The colored people of this community have a church indebtedness which they are wholly unable to liquidate. Then there is that $158,000 indebtedness on the new Phillis Wheatley building which they have not as yet paid, as promised. ORGANIZE! Missouri is the same old state, as far as our people are concerned, it seems. Recently, Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Walton, who were seated upon the front porch of their home, were arrested by a Kansas City policeman because he thought she was "too light to be colored". As a result, a thousand citizens signed a petition asking his dismissal from the force. He was not discharged but transferred to another district of the city. Soon after that, a white brute beat up Miss Lillian Scott of that city because she was one of a mixed gathering that succeeded in getting into a crowded street-car. A chivalrous (?) white Missourian struck and bruised her arm while the conductor held her. The latter then said to her "they may mob you" and proceeded to put her on the car. The police arrested her. None of her assailants were arrested, of course. Missouri is one of the states of the country that has possibly the most vicious anti-intermarriage law—one that leaves the victim and our people of the state helpless when any of our women or girls are criminally assaulted by white men. It seems almost incredible, to those who do not live in a border or southern state, that such conditions obtain among citizens of a common country, but they do, and show just how thin is the veneer of the so-called civilization of a large part of this country. It should open the eyes of the thoughtful of our people everywhere to the fact that in every community, south and north, where there are any considerable number of Afro-Americans, there should be effective organizations to work in the interest of our rights and privileges as citizens.

Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, July 12. -Displaying unexpected punching power, Paulino Uczedun, Spanish heavyweight, knocked out Harry Wills, tonight, in the fourth round of a fifteen-round match, putting an abrupt end to the veteran's attempted comeback. Three rounds of cumulative time left climax when Paulino suddenly lashed out with the right hand blow to the jaw that toppled Wills. Staggering up from a count of nine, Wills went down for the second and last time from another battery of right-handers to the head. It was the first time Wills had taken the full count of ten since he was stopped a dozen years ago by Sam Langford, the former world champion, who smelled experts it to mark a definite ending to Wills' seventeen-year ring career, whose decline began last October in the same ring when he lost on a foul to Jack Sharkey. Wills and his wife have saved their money and are wealthy. Red Cross Appoints Three. Washington, D.

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, un- der President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Hard- ing; and reached its zenith under President Goolldge. Sor instance, the largest of our 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 & Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case, Mr. Taft in- troduced it in the bureau of engrav- ing. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting white workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as fost blocks had white and black Tesidents. And, worst of all, an- hounced in his official capacity that Negroes shald not hold office where wite people complained, Ses- Tegation, then, is a Republican in- stitution and ot a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing ex tent by Republicans! ‘There 18 far more of Xt in the de- partments, today, than at any time fince the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil serv- Tee, which makes it next to impos- sibie for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since thelt color 1s disclosed in their photo- graph which must accompany their Papers, is tenaciously held on to by bur Republican President. Only last Week, a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photo- graph had failed to tell her true foler, and they flatly refused to ap- point her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion, Commis sioner Blair of the internal revenue Dureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he 1s the spec: lal favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails trom North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the seg- Fogation forces, Col. Sherrill, super- Intendent 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 segre- gation in the departments ot the fovernment, and the photograph Fequirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a Joss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation _ here, Where it would not even cost him a single yote and where he has full Dower and obsolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm be- Uever in segregation, especially since segregation is oue of the chief ten- ets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its “welcome home” in the Republican party, and recelves no condemnation from the Republican President. ase (Special to The Gazette.) ‘Washington, D. C.—In the postot- five segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical Gisadyantages, ‘The department maintains a apacious cafteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while ‘Suting, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and feat them any place: they can, The physical discomfore, disadvantage- ‘ous as it is, is far less galling to the ouored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelli- Gent and efficient aervico—the white fan of thelr attainment being able to get far more lucrative employ- ment. ‘The department goes even farther {a its sollctende for whives and neg. lect of colored. It maintains s well- appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable Jounges and other equipment for! rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored em- ployees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the peo- ple, In the locker rooms there is) segregation, and segregation is even) attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable| and faithful employees. Last year the white employees! passed around invitations to the white employees, in the vory pree- ance of the colored, to attend a re-| seption to the heads of depastments, including the postmaster general, in) the pestoffice building. It announced @aneine and a pleasant social eve-| ning with the officials for “‘the post- office employees,” yet not one was Gélivered to the colored clerks. 1 hurried a protest to the postmaster; general the day before it was to| come off, and he ordered the post- master to invite the colored as well ag 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 Mtself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants aré often passed over though their ex- amination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or, old in the serv- ice, must ever dream ot a promotion tos directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have wor contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The col- ored clerks have dared to form s union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and oftor appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. Jt 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 o! their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—vhe govern- ment printing office keeps falth with the government's universal scheme of segregation, Some of the best and Drightest of our girls are forced to accept inferier positions there on ac- count of the better and more Iucra- five avenues of employment being Glosed to them because of their col or.

Senator La Follette lodged a pro- test. with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic in- novation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston be- fore 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 na- tional gathering of the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the ¥. M. ©. A. to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crises. Os- wald Garrison Villard cagie to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Na- tion 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, name ly, the elimination of the ‘colored employees from the bureau alto gether. ‘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 th party that Abraiam Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglas: helped to found.

C.—The treasury department, according to the Presi- dent’s recent acceptance speceh, 1s now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamil- ton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of hic- tory that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the treasury in Lin: coln’s cabinet, who, In a national ex- tremity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master finan- sler, John “Sherman, “‘Theso men never knew what segregation was! ‘The present head of the depart- ment of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not_ap- pointed a colored clerk since his in- cumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat trom Texas, appointed and promoted sev- eral of them. Since the Income tax Hegislation and the numberless now tases that the recent war necess!- tated, this s by far the largest de- partment of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks, Yet Ne- groes are so scarce there that they can’t be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there 1s In the other branches of the gov- ernment—tfaflure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ‘ability to go #0 far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toflets, lock- er rooms, rest rooms, ete., set off for colored. ‘The toflets for the colored are few tn such a large structure Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physteal inconven- fence at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they de- sire the use of them. The depart. ment maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national drive- way, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and-so- cialize 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 feative scene that their presence creates, It seats two thousand din- ers with space tc spare; but not one Negro! His only share {s in the taxes he is forced to pay for -this luxury for another group! Tho registership of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfleld ap- pointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the col- ored people are congregated In a sep- arate room which is publicly pro- claimed as ‘a colored division.” When it is discovered that Negro clerks are “working as white” in other divisions, they are promptly transfered to this “colored division.” Our people fear that protest against a coeticeatlns ‘wena senuht ix te abolition of the division altogetner; so they remain in a dilemaa, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept se- gregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in tals southern afmioephers, must wake the former, They are depressed al the wroig, but econorls stress com- pels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segrega- tion, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Kian. Washington, b. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact thar in the Agi against the segregation of our gov- ernment 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, bea er board Walls were maintained until recently, In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brougnt to pubiic view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to in- crease segregation {n the depart. ments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little dur- ing the campaign. Investigation of Bureaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed be- low shows that segregation prevail in them as follows: Ottice of the Register of the ‘Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-Ameri- ean employees and the other with 14.

Co. 188i: No Wiskica Hepioe TNO KLUXERS DAMAGE MERIDA HOME | ‘The kluxers in the East End of the city, several times some months ago, bombed Dr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Garvin's residence, in Wade Park avenue, in a vain effort, which last ed off and on for about a year, to make them move, For some months now they have permitted the Gar- ying to live in peace, doubtless FINALLY being convinced that ‘they did not Intend to move or be FORCED to leave even _tempor- arily their newly-built home. Re- cently, Dr, and Mrs, James D. Merida, whose offices are located on the southeast corner of B. 30th street and Central avenue, purchased a new home at 9106 Parmaiee avenue, also in the northeast section of the city. Monday of last week, the Kluxers got busy again, broke win- dows and splashed paint on the walls otwthe new home. Knowing Dr. and Mrs. Merida as we do, we do not think that they (the kluxers) will have any more success in this latest effort than they had in the case of Dr. and Mrs. Garvin. ‘THE ELKS THREATENED. Since national officers of our Elka have issued @ proclamation designat- ing Cleveland as the place of the or- ders annual meeting, this year, be- cause a certain law. of New York State makes it impossible for a secrot organization to parade there with their emblems, all of our Elks of the county, however much they may have desired this year's annual meet- ing held In New York City, should Abide by the decision of their na- tional officers to meet here again, this year. Their gathering In Cleve- land, last year, was such a creditable one and left such a yery satisfactory Impression on all of its citizens with- out Teference to race, class or color, that the coming, this year, is being looked forward to by all the resi- dents of this city with the best of feeling. It is most unfortunate, in- deed, that & minority membership of the order is seeking to bring about a split, and a “rump” meeting at New York City, in the face of the na tonal officers’ recent proclamation selecting Cleveland a9 the meeting place again this year. Underneath this very reprehensible act, we un- derstand, is virulent antipathy to the grand exalted ruler of the organiza- tion, J. Finley Wilson, whom it ia feared will seek election to a sixth annual term as G. E.R. Minority factions have sought to depose him for five years, That it is a minority faction ean be seen from the fact that the vote to re-elect him for the fifth term at the last convention, held here in 1926, was 497 to 231. ‘This minority claims that five years of Wilson rule Is enough and a new head should be elected. They say Wilson spent $23,000. to re-elect himself, last year; that ho has had his own salary raised to $5,000. and together with certain fees, pays him- self a stipend of $1,000 to $15,000 a year. Finally, they complain that “J. Pinley” does not represent the highest typo of Elk leadership. If the above claims of the minority tac- tion he true, the leaders should con- tinue to bring them to the attention of the delegates ot their annual na~ tional meetings until a majority rec- ognizes them and deposes him from the highest office of the order, and not seck to split the organization Which has grown so large and pow- erful as a secret order, and, to date, has been so exceptionally creditable to our people of the entire country. ‘A split would be most unfortunate, indeed, from every viewpoint and would result in no good to our peo- ple or its organizations in general. We sincerely trust that the leaders lof the minority faction, who are seek- ing to disrupt the organization, will soon “see the light” and fall in line with the national officers’ proclama- tion convening their annual session here in August next. io Z i Let Tanlac build you up If illness has claimed you fora victim, 1 Your bealthis boot your tality low bulid back robust healah with Tankac.
