Five shots and a blow over the head with the butt end of a revolver failed to halt a prowler who was discovered, Saturday, sleeping in the garage of A. C. Gibbs, 3820 Scovill Ave. When Gibbs found the prowler, the latter awoke and leaped from the machine, running from the garage and refusing to halt. Gibbs emptied the gun, then shot the man, overtaking him and striking him with the weapon. The prowler increased his speed. AUGUST 13, 1927. THE LATEST! A Healing Sermon by Bishop F. W. McGee Now on Phonograph Records. Chicago, Ill.—A most unique and extraordinary development of the further good to be accomplished thru the medium of the phonograph record has just come to our attention. The Victor Talking Machine Company has received a second, New Jersey, hit just release a record, one of which contains the famous healing sermon entitled "With His Stripes We Are Healed." This recording was obtained thru the good graces and kind co-operation of Rt. Rev. F. W. McGee and members of his congregation of the Church of the Episcopal Church of McGee has for years been rendering comfort to the sick and injured thru the medium of his prayers and meetings held throughout the most important cities of the country. Testimonials are given nightly by members of his church concerning the suffering which has been relieved, entirely eliminated, by the prayers of Bishop McGee and his congregation. On last Wednesday and Friday nights mass meetings, attended by thousands, were held in the church, located at 3326 Prairie Ave, this city, at which time the record of injuries was the We Are Healed! was played for the congregation. The reception was most genuine and spontaneous. Hundreds placed their order for one or more of this marvelous record. Many in the congregation bought the record to send to ill or injured friends in some distant spot or place who, unable to attend the service, had a vital good from hearing Bishop McGee's voice and sermon so beautifully recorded. Thru this record, he will be able to carry the word of God to all parts of the world, into homes, hospitals, army camps and other places to those bed ridden or hopelessly incapacitated to whom his blessings will be given to the beautiful singing, will serve as an eternal and constant ray of glorious sunshine. ALLIANCE ELKS Hold Exceptionally Fine Memorial Memorials Suiting Elks From Other Cities Alpine Lodge and Deborahlane Temple, Elks, of Alliance held their memorial services, Sunday, at First Baptist church (white). They had a great street parade, led by Delta Lodge band of Akron and motorcycle traffic officers. The courtesy extended the Elks by the white citizens of Alliance makes all feel proud of their community and two groups in that thriving little city of Stark county. The services undoubtedly were of the best that have been held in the state of Ohio in recent years. Alpine Lodge should feel proud to have been able to have such wonderful selections as were rendered by Miss Dorothy Davis, accompanied by Mr. Willis McConaey and Daughters Wood and A. Prine were being welcomed was greeted with splendid applause. An instrumental solo by Prof. A. M. Damon also received hearty applause. Bert Jones, who has few equals in reading Thanatopsis, was one of the features of the program. The addresses were delivered by Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight Leonard H. Forman of Akron and Sidney Thompson, grand master of social services of Cleveland, and Rev. L. W. Johnson of Middletown who delivered the memorial sermon. Such services do much to bring about a closer and better relationship between the white and colored citizens of any community. / More power to all organizations that strive to improve racial conditions in Ohio communities. A WONDER TYPIST! UNDER TYPIST Washington, D.C., George W. Peters, a member of the race, World's amateur champion typist, exhibited rare speed and skill in a recent demonstration at the office of the U. S. Recorder of Deeds.

During the demonstration Mr. Petens conversed with people in the room and accurately 147 words per minute; recited a poem while writing from copy at the rate of 150 words a minute; added four columns of figures mentally without error, as he rapidly typed from copy; dashed 170 words per minute from copy and accurately imitated with perfect accentuation in the corps on parade; and finished the demonstration with writing 270 words per minute. AN ELECTION CONTEST AN ELECTION CONTEST. Campbell, O.—The exceptionally hot political battle, on here for many days, lasted to Tuesday's primary, as anticipated, but the test which has already been taken into the local courts. Mayor T. Roy Gordon, a candidate for a third term, claims a majority of 120 votes over City Solicitor Joseph E. Julius, the opposing candidate for mayor of this city. Open charges of "colonizing" colored voters and registering them, Saturday and Monday, are made. The result will be a legal battle to a finish, as Mr. Julius' supporters feel sure he was elected over Mayor Gordon. The result three or four hundred and this feeling held also by many other residents of the city of Campbell. More, next week. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS FROM OUR ENFORCED LABOR DEMAND AND ARE ENTITLED TO A BETTER CHANCE. Some of the Many Advantages of Afro-American Labor Which Is Reliable—Unreasonable Prejudice Reasons for Beliefs A Solution of the Problems Suggested. Lansing, Mich.-The following statement, entitled "A Brief for the Negro Workman," has been issued by the State Department of Labor and Industry, located here: The Negro in America has contributed more toil per capita for the building of the American nation to its present status, and has been compensated to a lesser degree, than any racial or national group on the continent. He has been faithful under the most trying conditions; industrious in the face of the efforts of men of all ages who have sought to deny him the advantages of occupational training and amenable in spite of unjust restrictions and limitations. He has made it possible for America to lead the world in the cultivation of cotton and tobacco. His employments reaping a golden harvest from his enforced labor in earlier days while heaping insults, indignities and maltreatment upon him. In a time of stress, when the demands of the World War and the cessation of immigration had depleted the man-power of the industrial North, the Negro felt that, in filling the gaps in the ranks of labor in the North, he was contributing more to the success of American arms abroad. For himself of the hateful bonds which were only partially destroyed by the Proclamation of Emancipation. The Negro is too generally classified with aliens, although there is no doubt about his priority through right of citizenship, nor question of his loyalty. It is well known that wages paid to a Negro are kept in circulation for American mankind for American made products and are not transmitted to the "Old Country", nor hoarded with the purpose in view of living, in later years, a life of ease across the sea. For shop or factory hands, an interpreter is not needed, nor is the time lost and efficiency sacrificed by the Negro's inability to understand a foreman's instructions" as is too often the case where foreign labor extensively and Negroes excluded. He is not subject to the many mental complexes of the foreign workman; nor is he at all of a Red or radical turn of mind. His whole life is the result of the American atmosphere and is steeped in American customs and practices. He thinks from the American viewpoint, talks and understands the American language, sees things as an American would has American mannerisms or characteristic — is entirely American Reasons For Beliefs In the face of statements to the effect that Negroes are unreliable or inefficient, investigation generally shows that this decision is reached, due directly or indirectly to unsatisfactory labor conditions; distasteful methods of labor supervision; or an inefficient method of individual selection. It is particularly true in the shop, as in domestic service that, too often, more is expected of a Negro than of a white worker under similar conditions and often at smaller wages. The morale of the Negro worker is seldom considered; the environments in which his leisure is spent are not known or inquired into; his reaction to certain conditions rarely investigated. To the average employer, superintendent or foreman, the Negro worker represents simply a tireless, emotionless machine, rather than a human being, and is rated accordingly. Two of the most common reasons given as a failure to employ Negroes are that "Our white employees will not work with Negroes" and "We do not believe in mixing whites and Negroes". These excuses are intangible. The view of the fact that as a rule, every other question of shop management is put into force by the executives, without the consent of the employee, from a cut in wages to a new shop rule forbidding smoking, chewing or talking. The white employee is not consulted in such matters and he is considered only in the observance of the rule. It does not seem reasonable that these same executives would deprive American citizens of a chance to earn a livelihood because of unreasonable personal prejudices on the part of some of their employees. It is not necessary to reintroduce an economic and social viewpoint to refuse employment to Catholics or Presbyterians because of religious IN UNION IT IS STRONG COPY FIVE CENTS WEST FORCED LABOR TITLED TO A BETTER NCE. ages of Afro-American Labor unreasonable Prejudice efs A Solution of the Suggested. prejudices of certain employees, or to exclude workers of German, Scotch, Italian or Hungarian extraction because of prejudice of certain employees. The fact of the matter seems to be that the average employer can only consider one of three alternatives in the use of Negro labor—to hire none at all; to employ but a few in menial capacities; or to fill his shop to overflowing to replace his white employees. Of course, we find the two former methods adopted generally, with the latter always appearing in the employer's eyes as a dreaded possible result from efforts to place Negro workers in the plant. Solution is Suggested. There is a fourth alternative, which seems to be the one real solution of our industries' difficulties. Most people who are governed by a sense of justice and who have not been inoculated by the virus of race prejudice, will concede that engaging a negligible number of Negroes excludes them entirely is worse. On our part, we admit that using an overwhelming proportion of Negroes, to the exclusion of white workers, is poor practice and exceedingly dangerous from a racial viewpoint; due to the fact that this course would add to racial jealousy and hatred and would finally result in conflict and hastiness would tend to lower the standard of shop management and efficiency. Conceding these statements to be true, it is largely true also that Negroes employed in a plant in a menial capacity are readily accepted by their fellow workmen and are popular with them. These same Negroes, who have been thus accepted into the fellowship of the workmen, would not create the aversion on the part of the white employees if inducted, by degrees, into semi-skilled or skilled operations, to be replaced by other Negroes when advanced from their former jobs. In this manner, the gradual introduction of an appreciable number of Negroes into a plant may be accomplished without impairing efficiency or production, or creating embarrassment for the executives. Thus more Negroes can be given a chance for better economic life. It is well to bear in mind, in considering the foregoing, that in the industries of Michigan, 62.8 per cent of all males employed in the state are listed as skilled workers, drawing skilled workmen's wages, while but 7 per cent of all Negro males employed are so listed. Such a marked difference in industrial classification points directly to a great number of social and economic ills which are problematical, though much less problematical, though much less problematical tendencies of shiftlessness and improvidence plus lack of thrift and ambivalence. The universal neglect or rejection of the Negro woman in industry is also a matter of grave import to the race and one that calls for the serious attention of welfare workers as a means of fort to create opportunity for colored women should be made; as it is shown by statistics that they are almost entirely excluded from compensative industry and confined to industries where who often pays shamefully inadequate wages of from $6 to $12 per week. SAVES ATKINS' LIFE! Gov. Donahay Commutes Atkins' Sentence to Life Imprisonment. Columbus, O.-David Atkins, age 21, sentenced to be electrocuted, last (Friday) night, on Tuesday of this week had his sentence commuted to life imprisonment by Gov. A. V. Donahay, on the recommendation of Common Pleas Judge Edwin W. Diehl of Stark county, who presided at Atkins trial. Gov. Donahay answered the commutation to a group of seventy-five of our people assembled in the executive offices and to representatives of the Ohio W. C. T. U., who had worked for the commutation. Atkins was convicted of killing Harry Malone, railroad detective at Justus, Stark county, in the fall of 1925. He was found guilty largely on the lying testimony of two companions, who later made affidavits stating some of their testimony was false. Atkins did not kill the man. Gov. Donahay said he would not have commuted the sentence except for Judge Diehl's latter, but in view of that and other appeals he acted "without mental reservation." Good for the Governor! Thank you, sir. WELL! IS HE QUAD TO SEE HIS MUZZER AFTER SHE'S BEEN GONE A WHOLE WEEK? GOB! WE SIMPLY HATE TO GIVE HIM UP. HES BEEN 30 SWEET! WE WON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT HIM! OH DEAR!

SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1927. One of the very best things Gov. Donahey has ever done was to commute the sentence of David Atkins. See Columbus letter, elsewhere in this paper. Are Edward S. Henry of Philadelphia and Atty. Houston of Gary, Ind., judges or justices of the peace? Will some of our contemporaries, who know, answer? --- Many of our youths who served with reserve officers' training corps units during the past winter in various colleges and universities throughout the country, along with school companions, applied for admittance into the summer camps. They have been told by the war department that they would be unable to get the training desired because no camps had been established for their race. More "Coolidge-itis" (segregation). --- The fight in Congress, questioning the recent election of the two U. S. Senators from Pennsylvania, is said to be encouraging a careful "quiz" into southern disfranchisement laws and other southern election methods. Something greatly needed! The great mass of white voters in the north do not believe things political are so rotten in the south. So let's have the "quiz" by all means. --- A "jim-crow Negro", signing himself, "Preston Irving", writing to a local daily newspaper, Wednesday, says: "We do need a hospital for our people" and "while we are accepted at other hospitals, we are made to feel that our room is better than our company". Since there is positively no need of a "jim-crow" hospital in Cleveland, the "jim-crow brother" and his kind ought to go back "down home" where he can feel that his company is as good as his room. If he had his way, Cleveland "jim-crow" would be as bad as it is where he came from in order to get away from so very much of it. AS TO BLOOD. According to western newspapers, President Calvin Coolidge is proud of a small amount of Indian blood which flows in his veins and is very proud of having been made "big chief" of that once great and powerful tribe of Indians. Ten days before the late, lamented Warren G. Harding was elected Chief Executive of this great nation, the writer sat in his home in Marion discussing with him the statements written by a Wooster, Ohio, university professor and circulated by the Democratic national committee, charging Harding's family with the possession of a more or less liberal amount of so-called "Negro" blood. The professor backed up his charges with affidavits of long-time friends of the Harding family, one at least of whom was over ninety years of age. So it seems that at least one other group of citizens of color, in addition to the Indians who are redskins, can claim that its blood coursed the veins of a president of this great country. COBB BETTER STAY NORTH. Emory Cobb of Oneonta, Ala., who fled north after lynch-murdering kluxes had killed his wife in a night raid, fifteen months ago, is wanted by the legal authorities in Oneonta because he shot the leader of the mob that broke into his home and fatally wounded his wife, leaving him with eight children. It seems that another leader of the would-be lynchers was indicted by the grand jury about a year ago, and that several other members of the gang are to be tried on the same charge, providing Cobb will appear in Oneonta as the principal witness. The prosecuting attorney of the county says that none of the cases can be prosecuted without Cobb. It seems that the cases are part of a general fight being made on klan leaders in Alabama and Georgia, as the result of many floggings, etc. Cobb says he is willing to go back providing he can have a guard to protect him all the time he is there, and railroad fare is furnished him both ways because he intends to return north to live. Since 1911, he had lived peaceably on his thirty acre cotton and truck farm on the outskirts of Oneonta, thirty-six miles north of Birmingham. If he returns to Oneonta, kluxers of that vicinity will finish the job they started, fifteen months ago. So Cobb better stay away and let the prosecuting attorney and his co-workers of that county go on with their cases against the kluxers as best they can. All of his children but one are here in Cleveland. The attorney general, and state solicitor of Alabama and the circuit judge say they have no way of granting immunity to Cobb, but promise that he need fear no indignments. But he "need" fear death, lynch-murder, however. TROUBLE BREWING. Members of the Ku Klux Klan, living in the west-side of Dayton, aided and abetted by "jim-crow Negroes", some of whom are more or less prominent members of the race in that city, have been so aggressive of late in their advocacy of racial residential segregation and "jim-crow" schools that the condition, as between the races, has reached the serious stage. For instance, one Dr. W. V. Nicum, Ku Klux Klan candidate for city commissioner, has the following on the bottom of a card which he is tacking up through the city: "Endorsed by white civic organizations on the west-side. Opposed by whom Guess!" The result is just what one of our readers, a leading resident of Dayton, sets forth clearly in the following sentence of a letter to the editor of The Gazette, under date, Aug. 9, 27: "When white people get their minds so diseased as to seek to gain office on the strength of race prejudice, the inevitable is not far distant." AGREED! Opposed to the "white civic organizations on the west-side," and working in the interest of our people, is an organization led by our ministers of that city. To date they have put forth effort which seems to lack somewhat in the matters of aggressiveness, cohesiveness and proper direction. It may be, of course, that we are so far distant from the "seat of war", that we have misjudged, in this. We hope so anyhow. HERNDON AN "UNCLE TOM". Soon after the recent death of Alonzo F. Herndon, the alleged millionaire business man of Atlanta, The Daily Constitution of that city, published an editorial under the headline: "A High Type of Negro," the opening paragraphs of which are: "The life of Alonza F. Herndon, an outstanding Negro citizen of Atlanta, who died Thursday evening, illustrates what one of that race can do who takes the correct viewpoint of racial relations, and who is frugal, honorable and trustworthy. "He was one of the largest, if not the largest individual contributor to Community Health organizations, all worthwhile civic movements. He contributed heavily to the advertising fund raised by the 'Forward Atlanta' commission". "The correct viewpoint of racial relations" means in a general way apparent willing acceptance upon the part of southern "Negroes", (without retaliation of any kind) of all the denials of their rights and privileges, and consequent discrimination, the prejudiced white south sees fit to visit upon our class of people in that section of the country. This is too great a sacrifice for any manly American citizen of color to make even to accumulate enough of this world's goods to be heralded by the southern daily press as a millionaire. Continuing, The Constitution editorial also says, and this is the CRUX of it: "And yet, he never forgot he was a Negro, and, regardless of his wealth and community influence, he did not assume at any time to place himself in a position to break down or weak- THE GEEVUM GIRLS In plain words, the editor of The Constitution says in the foregoing that Alonza F. Hernndon "did not assume at any time to place himself" in the position of an American citizen demanding his rights and privileges, as such, and the treatment in a general way that all are entitled to under the law because it would have a tendency "to break down or weaken the social structure as it exists" in the south. Because of Hernndon's willing assumption of an "Uncle Tom" attitude or position and place in the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia, in deference to the demands of the whites of that section of the country, he is characterized "a high type of Negro" by The Daily Constitution and southern whites generally. But was he? Hardly! It enabled him to accumulate considerable wealth, it is true, but compelled him to sacrifice what is dearer, far more valuable and important, to the manly "Negro" or Afro-American than all the wealth he possessed at the time of his death. In this day and time, the editor of The Constitution can coddle to himself the thought that "such social structure must always exist" in that section of the country, but it will not. Even the benighted south, along that particular line, will eventually be forced by the inevitable march of progress to accord all citizens, without reference to race, creed or color, all their rights and privileges in public places, at least. "It has been claimed by some in other sections of the country, that the Negro has no chance in the south—that he is denied opportunities for advancement. The story of the life and accomplishments of Herndon is unanswerable evidence that such a claim is groundless", says The Constitution. The claim is correct, as all know. The "Negro", who insists upon exercising all his rights and privileges under the law, in common with citizens of all other groups, has "no chance in the south" to live any considerable length of time to say nothing of being "denied opportunities for advancement". Herndon's life and accomplishments are anything but "unanswerable evidence" that an American citizen of color, who insists upon his rights and privileges, has a "chance in the south—opportunities for advancement" and even the editor of The Constitution knows this statement is the truth. "What he did can be done in a measure by any Negro of ability, frugal habits and honor"—The Constitution. Only an "Uncle Tom Negro" of ability, frugal habits and honor could do in the south, in either a small or large measure, what Alonza F. Herndon did in the way of accumulation of wealth. CHARACTER. Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty-three years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader chentile whose tastes it resists and whose power and responsiveness to buy measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD"! Cleveland, O. Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, Gazette, Dear Friend: I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it. I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression within 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 McNells, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class.

The formal dedication of the Forrest Hill swimming pool, which will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 24, will give to Cleveland's east side a second beautiful recreation center devoted to aquatic sports. The Eddy Boosters' association has resolved to make the affair a memorable event. It should be the occasion for a mammoth turnout of residents of that section, ought to be a source of satisfaction in this latest addition to the facilities Cleveland offers for wholesome sports. May we suggest to Park Director Harmon and Safety Director Barry that it be immediately resolved that no rowdyism be tolerated at this newest pool? The one or two instances at Woodland Hills would never have occurred if it were realized that every person would draw to it a minority of hoodlums who try to see how far they can challenge lawful authority.—Monday's Cleveland Daily News. Cleveland, O., Aug. 9, '27. Mr. W. R. Hopkins, City Manager, City Hall, Clarkson. Dear Mr. Hopkins: I—have conferred with Directors Barry and Harmon, relative to the regrettable occurrences at the Woodland Hills Park bathing pool, and received assurances from them that law and order would be preserved. This would also help all that that would be asked or expected, and places the method up to Director Barry. The above editorial note, from The Cleveland News, which is self-explanatory and pertinent, actuates me to offer the suggestion of having present upon this occasion a few representative colored citizens. This letter to Director Harmon with the request for a dozen tickets of admission, and I am taking advantage of this means to further suggest for your careful consideration, the advisability of giving to our group, just as other groups are considered, representation upon all of your various commissions and appointments appointed from time to time to consider matters of public interest and various celebrations.

The new fire-limits have been selected, apparently, for the purpose of promoting the sale of brick, concrete and tile and not wholly for the purpose of eliminating fire-hazards. If the new fire-limit extension ordinance is not repealed, all new buildings, between W. 65th St. and E. 105th St., will have to be constructed of brick, constructed of brick, expensive than wood, of course. Be sure to sign the referendum petitions. POOL'S RESTAURANT REDECO- RATED. Pool's restaurant, 2308 E. 55th St. ever since its very auspicious opening, has been one of our showplaces of the city. Everybody talks about it. Everybody goes there and meets their friends. Even "the stranger within our gates" eventually finds his way to "Pools" where his wants are satisfied with courtesy and dispatch. The outstanding success of this restaurant, like the success of any business undertaking, rests in its management. Therefore, for some time the name of Pool has stood for the best of food, the best of business, and the best be secured in this city. But Clarence and Minnie Pool, proprietors, are never satisfied. They want their customers to feel that there they can find a homelike atmosphere—some of the beauty and comforts of home. So, in appreciation of the genuine support of the public for the past year, the Pools have just redecorated and refinished their place of business, making it one of the most beautiful and best equipped restaurants, owned and operated by our people, in the state. The spirit of the Pools should be permeated. The people of Pool have not once been nice like it where they can dine with their friends and to which they can point with pride as the one eating-place in Cleveland where the comfort and well-being of the patron outweighs every other consideration. Congratulations! and "hats off" to Clarence and Minnie Pool! WHO IS HE? Will the "brother" with the word "taxi" on his hat who was refused service and grossly insulted in the Bell restaurant on West Superior Ave. near W. 3rd St., Wednesday, July 20, or Thursday, July 21, '27, call at The Gazette office at once? Some good news! The foregoing local item appeared in our last issue. As the editor of The Gazette was hurrying to the press room, immediately after lunch last week Thursday noon, he was met by a friend (white), a business man, whose store is near The Gazette office, and told of the following incident which had occurred either that of the man who was in the race with the word "taxi" on his hat entered the Bell restaurant mentioned above, and ordered a "hot dog" sandwich. The proprietor of this place is a Greek. A sandwich was made and was being wrapped in a paper when the "brother" said to the Greek or whoever was waiting on him: "Give me a cup of coffee, too, I am going to eat it here." Immediately the sandwich was brown to a deep Greek or what it was that made the sandwich, turned away saving: "I am not refusing Guaranteed and Efficient Work TWENTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE Phone: Bell, Randolph 6978 Sundays by Appointment WE BOUGHT THE STOCK Of "Al-White," Custom Tailor, Formerly 617 Prospect Ave., Who Has Retired From Business S. 5 STORE 845 PROSPECT AVE. 193 Rose Bldg.

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice? 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 Latt. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Hinging; and reached its summit under President Wilson. For instance, for instance, 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 workers in this city in the distinctive white workers' white people, and black workers' most 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 Republician institution and not a Republican, one it was begun by Republicans, one it was begun 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 papers, is tenaciously on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored lady appeared after having received 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. Commissoner 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 Mollon and President Coolidge. He halls from North Georgia to the home of the other officer and leader 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 democratic opposition here, 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 common "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 thought of the colored clerks than is the thought of their government that takes their taxes, and 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 intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whines and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, com 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 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 very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dances and a pleasant soothsong with the head of the postoffice employees" yet not one was invited to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These 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 was superior. They did 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 personnel. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The government print office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a larger fisheries in this huge sea area, and the women may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few of our people patronize the place preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. in toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation passes over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in rest and amusements excluded 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, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" because he was a black man and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted 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 slave and a wife of Senator Robert La Follette Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem per 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 ternity 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, rearing 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 economics stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local 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 discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. to urge them to continue the night of the memorial was at the crisis wald Garrison Vilhame villed come to town to attack White House and Cabinets and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The right checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fulness, under the administration of the party that 'braham Lincoln, Charles Summer and Frederick Doug' as helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, sitting rooms, and classrooms, none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age 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 girls for them in segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the president was the first to Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national Constitution, advanced the Civil War; and Ohio's master chief, 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 several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they are not the 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 further. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilet, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure-physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrarship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is "publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, rearing 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 wrog, but economic stress compels endurance of it. A strong grip 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. Washington, D. C. —We wish to call attention to the fact that in the nugt 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 or 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, and we ended up a little during the campaign. **investigation of Burcus** An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. Post Office, Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. POLITICS FORCED ON WILBER- FORCE. BETTER POLICING NEEDED Possibly, it is nobody's fault that Woodland Hills swimming pool has already been the scene of a drowning and a stabbing. Rowdyism should be checked at all costs, and the time to begin is now. There is no difficulty in maintaining high standards of conduct anywhere if the rule is once laid down any other kind will be imprinted—The Cleveland Daily News. Director Harmon has "laid down the rule" and it is now up to the police, as it was before the rule was "laid down", to see that there is "better policing" and this Director Barry has promised. So that's that. We will now see what the future brings forth under the rule laid down by Director Harmon and that the pool are open to all "regardless of race, creed or color", and the promise of the director of public safety.

LOVELY RAIMENT FOR THE BOUDOIR IMPORTANT IN THE STYLE PROGRAM UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD DARK GROUNDS AND SMALL DESIGNS THE MODISH THING IN PRINTS Underwood & Underwood WHO would forfeit the pleasure and satisfaction of owning lovely raiment for the boudier, since anyone possessed of an artistic sense of color values, and a little ingenuity can conjure alluring garments at a slight expense, which look as if they cost a "million." The first requisite for one contemplating making a midsummer boudier negligee is to rightly choose the materials. "Sheer" is the word when it comes to the purely feminine types now so in vogue—this being interpreted means dainty chiffons and lace in abundance. And the colors! The rainbow, the depths of a sea-shell, the heart of a rose or a bouquet of nature's choicest blossoms tell the story of tones and tints which blend into a symphony of beauty under the artful maneuvering of creative genius. When it comes to a picturesque silhouette, depend mostly on sleeves DARK GROUNDS AND THE MODIS THERE'S no end to the silk-print subject. Prints in the small cavat types are the essence of smartness. The flowerets stand out vividly against their plain grounds, their gay color accented further by solid navy or bright borderings or trimmings—perhaps an inset portion of the plain silk is introduced in a manner as illustrated. If you have not acquired a silk-print frock it is a safe guess that you will before the season is over, for few there are who will escape this epidemic for printed chiffons, flat silks or crepe de chines which is sweeping the country. One does not stop at the dress when ordering print silk for the costume. It is very proper to line one's solid-color coat throughout with this same print, or why not make a little circular cap of the silk to accompany the frock! Plaited printed silk is wonderfully effective in combination with the smooth figured fabric. If you are making your silk-print frock at home AZETTE A Subscribe a for its accomplishment, if sleeves one may call the long floating panels and drapes which fall from the shoulder with such infinite grace, as do those in this picture. The color scheme for this dainty negligee is peach with orchid, the latter placed over the former, one thin material on top of another. Quantities of deep cream lace enter into the composition with a plentiful use of peach and orchid ribbons with handmade silk flowers adding still another enchantment. There's a new vogue starting within the realm of milady's boudor—the negligee of soft white crepe satin with trimmings of white lace and white ribbon or else exquisitely faggoted. Effective, too, are the colorful satins which bear applique designs of one shade upon another. The motifs stress both conventional patterns and realistic floral. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1927, by Western Newpaper Union.) AND SMALL DESIGNS THING IN PRINTS use plaited flounces on the skirt, or an entire plaited skirt. A little money spent on plaiting and hemstitching is a guarantee against that "bogie" which ever dwells in the mind of the amateur—the fear of a "homemade" look. It adds to the appearance of the silk-print frock if each ruffle is bordered with a band of solid color. If the edge is plotted before plaiting the ruffles are given an exquisite finish. Plotted plain silk should then also trim the blouse or waist portion. Sprightly shoulder and hip bows could also be made of the solid-colored silk, which should be plotted on each edge like ribbon. The compose idea of a printed-silk jacket with a plaited white silk skirt is an outcome of the print-with-plain vogue. This is especially effective when the silk is colorfully patterned in chintz designs. Prints in black and white are meeting with success. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

"The Old Reliable" Gazette was the first newspaper to suggest, many months ago, U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis as the next Republican nominee for the Presidency and we are renewing it at this time, since President Calvin Coolidge has removed himself from the running. Congressman Nicholas Longworth, speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives, is a fine man and spendid Presidential timber. The writer served in the Army during World War II and the gentlemen and knows them well. It is only our more intimate acquaintance with Mr. Willis and the good work for the race he has done since that time that inclines us preferentially toward him as the standard bearer of the party in 1928. Either gentilman as the candidate of the party would surely lead it on to a triumphant victory and make the people a Chief Executive such as they have not had for many, many years. We are not best political friends should get to early and reach a conclusion that will make impossible a factional fight in the ranks of Ohio Republicans that could only result in harm to both and possibly put both out of the running when the next Republican national convention convenes.
