How Jubilee Hall Was Built—Kings And Queens "Commanded" Fisk's Jubilee Singers—Mrs. Mabel Lewis Imes "Chilly Waters"—Nearly $150,000 in Notes Burned at Last. Nashville, Tenn. - Fisk University paid its tribuite to the nation, the founders of the institution, and the memory of its famed jubilee singers, last week Thursday, Oct. 6. This date was the fifty-sixth anniversary of the jubilee singers, a band of nine who, together with George L. White, their music teacher, left Nashville, Oct. 6, 1871, to secure funds for the University. The entire ceremony brought back in a vivid display the history of the jubilee singers. They left Nashville unheralded. They returned acclaimed in both the United States and Europe. They had been commanded to sing before Queen Victoria, the King of Holland, the Emperor of Germany; had been breakfasted by Glastonbury, the Earl of Shirebury, and painted by Queen Victoria court painter, Havel. With them they brought nearly $100,000 with which to build jubilee hall. Each year since, the University has sent out a band of singers. In 1926, they toured Europe and were applauded everywhere. Mussolini presented them autographed pictures of the telegram was reived, relative to the approval of the Queen of Spain. Madrid, Dec. 9, 1926. Her Majesty, Queen of Spain, attended concert given by Fisk Jubilee Rock Hall in Raleigh, North Carolina, entire program and six encores. Singers, had great success. Crowded house. Only last year they sang at the White House at the especial request of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. The jubilee day program, this year, included some of the most brilliant leaders of the New South. In the morning, the meeting held in Fisk Memorial chapel was addressed by Congressman Joseph W. Byrns of the Sixth District, and Mrs. Pauline Lewis Imes of Cleveland, O., one of the original jubilee singers, and Hon. J. C. Napier, a member of the board of trustees, who burned the notes for $149,000 which the university had been unable to pay for years. This act officially freed the institution from debt and made available a million dollars of endowment. Mrs. Pauline Lewis Imes messages of congratulations from all over the country. Following the morning meeting, there was a procession to Bennett Field for the flag raising exercises. In the afternoon many alumni, some of whom came from as far off as California, held a meeting of reminiscences. Mrs. Pauline Lewis was given and Dr. Edwin Mimics, of Vanderbilt University, one of the most liberal writers in the South, spoke. The chief feature of the evening's service was the singing of the spiritual "Chilly Water," by Mrs. Imes. Nearly seventy, her voice still retains its mellow resonance and wild register which it echoes the days of Hon. Val Beecher, when she was known as the little girl who could sing as low as B flat. S. B. Turner, old-time editor and for several terms a member of the Illinois legislature, died, last week, in Chicago. Ten kluxes of Jefferson County, Ala., were indicted, week before last, for flogging persons of both races, and placed under bonds totaling $100,000. Gary, Ind., has three Afro-American aldermen, S. R. Whitlock, S. R. Blackwell and Wm. Burrus, opposing the klan-contemplated, illegal "jim-crow" high-school. Atty, and Mrs. Wm. F. Francis of St. Paul, the former the newly appointed minister to Liberia, W. Africa, sailed for his post of duty, the first of the month. Blind Boone, age 63, noted pianist for the last 40 years, died in Warrensboro, Mo., last week Tuesday. Among his valuables are a $1000 diamond set striking-watch and a piano made of oak. Major Wm. S. Bradden, chaplain of the 8th Illinois regiment, known during the World War as the 370th, protests the American Legion's "jim-crowning" its 20 Afro-American delegates in Paris, recently. Mrs. Annie Malone, head of the great Poro College, St. Louis, Mo., made it a sanctuary for the recent storm-victims, feeding free approximately a 1000 a day. Approximately 125 of our people were injured and about 20 killed. Rev. C. M. Tanner, recently appointed pastor of Bethel C. M. E. church, Detroit, by Bishop W. T. Vernon, has thrice been refused by the congregation because it favors its old pastor. Rev. Joseph Gomez, has thrice been refused a fee and has given a smaller charge in the same city by the bishop. Leonard Allen, age 21, won first prize in a poetry contest, last year, conducted by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Recently, he won a prize in a poetry contest with his poem, "Carolina Winds." It is considered the best descriptive-poem of Carolina scenery ever written. Allen is a graduate of Johnson C. Smith university. MAKE HOSPITALS FREE FOR ALL CLASSES Hebrew Loan Association Official Reports. "Unless we remove the fundamental cause of all our evils, the millions of dollars we spend every year for charity is just like applying iodine for a rotten toothache," Marcus Feder, sr., finance chairman of the Hebrew Free Loan Association, said Sunday. The organization is a report of that organization. It shows the association has 337 loans outstanding, totaling $21,065. Five hundred and fifty-four loans were granted in the year, all without interest. Operating expenses were $3.71 a loan. Among the things advocated by Mr. Feder's report are: he is working at night, most of them mothers of children, and send them home. Take the money we spend for welfare work and give it to these mothers to bring up their children. "Make our hospitals free to all classes without special favor to any class and have them conducted like we conduct our public schools; contributions from the $25 to $40 weekly wage earner, for he already contributes more than his full snare with the shrinkage of 40 cents on his wage dollar that is taken from him and applied by his employers to pay stockholders dividends, his and their charity contributions. We contribute in congested districts with part of the Community Chest fund and rent them out at normal rents in order to check the spread of contagious disease." BLACKED THEIR FACES! New York City.—Two recent murders within the same week claimed front page space because of the mystery surrounding them and the cunning with which they were executed. One occurred in Alabama and the other in Alabama a wife was killed and the husband's first statement to the officers was that a "Negro" had committed the crime. In the New Jersey case a husband was killed and the wife claimed that "Negroes" had committed the crime. Later developments show that the instances the accusers were themselves the murders or the instigators of the crime. Flowers' Manager Sues "Mickey" Walker New York City—Walk Miller, manager of "Tiger" Flowers, said recently that he was bringing suit against "Mickey" Walker, present midweight champion and his manager, Jake Johnson, 500,000 dollars, both in New York, and California for breach of contract. Walker failed to give the Georgia leacon a return match in 90 days as the agreement called for, following the fight in Chicago, last January. Mrs. Vernon Wallace of Hillsboro is visiting her daughters, Mrs. Ella Johnson and Mrs. Blanche Glimore. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IN THE FEDERAL SERVICE PARTICULARLY THAT IN THE PENSION BUREAU, The Latest Offending Sector of the Coolidge Administration—Queer Course of L. M. Hershaw, Veteran Clerk—Members of the Delegation. Washington, D. C., Oct. 9, 1927. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Harry.—We had an hour's conference with Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work, and made an extended visit through the vast de- partment of the interior, on yesterday. I invited to go with me Secretary A. H. Pinkett of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch; Robert J. Nelson, editor of The Washington Eagle and Director Elks' Civil Liberties' bureau, and Thomas A. Johnson, secretary of The National Equal Rights' league. We all consumed about the same amount of time and were unanimous in our arguments and opinions. The Secretary was Prof. Neval H. Thomas. exceedingly affable, but no more reasonable. He repeated the old sophistries that he gave in the previous conference, but he had lost all of his brusqueness and impatience. He summoned the Commissioner of Pensions, the chief clerk of the General Land Office, and his secretary, who asked them leading questions about their work, he wanted, and the Commissioner of Pensions' answer revealed that in the assembling of all file rooms of the various bureaus into the one big "jim-crow" file room to which we are objecting, the white employees were revealed, leaving the service entirely black. The secretary did not like his answer at all. The other secretary, who asked them to then put them on the grill. We took up the General Land Office where they have a large stenographic room with some 25 white girl stenographers who are subject to all of the white clerks. No colored clerk can call upon them for service. The six colored clerks are segregated in separate rooms on the left and right of the room. When she is absent, these colored clerks have no stenographic service whatever, but must write their work in long-hand and the transmitr' labor for transcript, entailing laborious work upon these efficient clerks, to say nothing of the efficient distinction. The veteran clerk, of the M. Hershaw the Company of Nurse N. Hershaw of board of directors, is one of those of his affected, but he refuses all appeals of refuses to follow them. He even refuses to follow them. He even tells them never to mention segregation to him again. These facts you can verify from any of the employees. It is a good thing we came to the rescue, or our oratory had been completely discredited. We proved to these officials that our claims were true in spite of their denials. The Secretary of the Interior then retorted that a colored man had been in to congratulate him on his treatment of "Negroes," and to tell him how the race appreciated his treatment. We begged him to tell us his name, but he refused. The secretary said that their must be something wrong with the statement, else he, The Secretary, would not mind revealing the name of his agreeable "Negro" friend. We then told him to beWARE of such an assassin, as he was simply courting power for pecuniary profit, and that the black race produced traitors as well as the white. The secretary said that they congregated them so that they could promote them. We told him that in that act he demoted them, and all of the rest of the colored people in the IN UNION IS STRENGTH THE COPY FIVE CENTS TION! SEGREGATION CE PARTICULARLY THAT ION BUREAU, or of the Coolidge Adminis- of L. M. Hershaw, Vet- ers of the Delegation. United States. He then said, "Why, we made a colored chief and raised his salary." We said "Why did you have to take away his liberty to give him a few dollars?" "If he met your requirements for a chief's place he should have been raised to a colored employee," he then asked, "I have just made two 'Negro' pension examiners today." We said we were deeply appreciative, and earnestly wish for the elimination of all of the many distinctions under which his colored employees labor. We then told him that we must report to our respective bodies about his future course. He said he had no answer today. We then pressed him for an answer in the near future, and he answered. He then turned in his chair as one who had reserved his knockout to the last, and said, "Mr. Thomas, you are talking so much about segregation; what are you doing in a segregated school" I said, "You white people are so unjust that you force me to the cruel alternative of segregation or ignorance. I am in one, but I am an enough man to hate the system, I agree with it in saying this in high place what it may mean to me. I yield to it on the same principle that I yield to the highwayman, holding up my hands, surrendering my pocketbook, but never yielding the title to it. I am not more to blame for being in a segregated school, than your faithful Negro employees are to blame or being where you put them, or being where the misused power that placed them there." We told him that our constituencies would eagerly await his reply. We then toured the vast establishment, a magnificent new structure, a block long and a block wide, costing millions, only to find it painfully white. It employs several thousands, and but few "Negroes." We saw them at work, and especially those in the new segregated division. There they are down in one wing of the building with all of the ancient furniture of old the ancient furniture of old. The very furnishings are consonant with the shabbiness and meanness of the administration that placed them there. The clerks are unafraid. They bravely called us in, and showed us details of the discrimination, and expressed their utter disgust at the apparent contentment, and outright evasions of L. M. Hershaw. They even threaten to come out to our next monthly meeting and ask his resignation. Several others who keep their names upon our stationary are doing nothing in this, and the issue. We spend upon industrious misrepresentation to New York headquarters. COOLIDGE SAYS "HANDS OFF"! Washington, D. C.—The department of justice will not intervene in the election situation in Louisville, Ky., where our voters are being prevented from voting at the polls. Wm. B. Bullitt, former solicitor general, and Charles A. Middleton, chairman of the city and county Republican executive committee, made personal complaint recently, to the department of justice about these conditions in Louisville. Mississippi Schools Bar Chinese. Jackson, Miss—Native born Chinese were denied the right of entrance to the white public schools of Mississippi Monday, by the Mississippi supreme court in reversing a decision which ordered school officials to allow a Chinese to enroll in the public schools. In impleming the Chinese will be forced to attend our schools if they want to be educated in this state. Tiger's Auto Hits Child. Harrisonburg, Va.—Tiger Flowers was arrested here, late Oct. 6, when his automobile ran over and injured Jack Logan, age 4. The boy's legs were crushed. Flowers, with two women, was en route from Atlanta to New York. He said the boy ran from behind a parked automobile and that he did not see him until the car was upon him. Flowers' ball was fixed at $5,000. Van Ellum, age 29, of 6114 Central Ave., was another knife victim of the "roaring third" police precinct, Monday. He was stabbed in the neck at the Douglas club, 4416 Central Ave. Berry Fair, age 31, of 2261 E. 49th St., was charged with the crime, which followed an argument over a ring.

SATURDAY. OCTOBER 15, 1927. A couple of years ago, in the Wm. Taylor store in Euclid Ave., this city, Atty. Wm. R. Green, who was there to purchase a hat, was not permitted to try it on. A southerner by the name of DeAcre, who was manager of the store at that time, located in Chicago, some months ago. Now, it is currently rumored that this store does not permit its Afro-American patrons to ride in its bus to and from its parking place. The N. A. A. C. P. local branch and our Federation of Women's clubs ought to investigate this, at once, and see if there is any truth in the rumor. Surely, it cannot be true. HOSPITAL SERVICE Councilman Sulzmann introduced a resolution, at Monday evening's meeting of the City Council, directing City Manager Hopkins to study the advisability of furnishing free treatment at City hospital to persons whose income is $25 a week or less. Good for Sulzmann! Now, why don't Councilman Tom Fleming introduce a resolution calling on the City Manager to explain why Afro-American internes and those wishing to train as nurses at City Hospital are refused admittance—if that charge of the "jim-crow" hospital advocates, of some weeks ago, is true? We like, too, about all the recommendations made in the Marcus Feder report referred to at some length elsewhere in this paper. NORTHERN "DOUGH-FACES." Regardless of how they may stand on questions of vital interest to us it seems that as soon as Republicans enter the Coolidge administration or locate at the nation's capital they accept the prejudiced south's attitude toward our people and proceed to treat those there accordingly. This is true in the case of Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of the interior. They tell us that even ex-U. S. Senator Harry New of Indiana, an old-time Republican, now postmaster general, has succumbed, to a greater or less degree, to the dreaded "disease." This latter is hard to believe, we are free to admit, but those who pretend to know insist that such is the case, we are sorry to say. Members of congress and other officials who at home, elsewhere here in the North, never thought of treating Afro-Americans other than as full-fledged men and women. American citizens, are poisoned by that southern virus soon after landing in Washington. D. C. They seem simply unable to stand out against it once they locate there. We have noticed this for full a quarter of a century and marvel at this striking weakness of so many leading Republicans. We felt sure they were adamant when it came to making such a pitiful, disgraceful and disgusting exhibition as is put on record in the segregation display of Dr. Hubert Work. Secretary of the Interior. Lord, have mercy! S'MORE "HIGH FINANCE". A "Cassie Chadwick" high-finance "brother from down home" with a "$3,000,000 gold mining project in Tucsin, Arizona" has for many months been "working" Pittsburg, Los Angeles and vicinities. In the first mentioned section about 899 stockholders invested more than $45,000 in it, while in the western city nearly $11,000 worth of stock was sold. Last week the brother and some of his associates were called to court in Pittsburg and given forty-five days in which to "show". Statements attached to the bill of complaint discloses an item of $58,720.11 expenditures, it is said, and it is also claimed that $40,443.75 was sent to the "brother". His expenses appear as $7,012.36 and those of the trustees as $11,264. All of which re- THE GEEVUM GIRLS calls the Atlanta, Georgia, Standard Life Insurance and Holding companies stockholders' experience of a couple of years ago; also that of the stockholders in our banks and other companies that failed in various parts of the country in recent years. Instead of starting at the bottom in business, it looks very much as if we have been starting at the top for many, many years and that it is about time for us to stop and think a little. THE KLUXERS WILL FAIL The Ku Klux Klan effort to establish a "jim-crow" high school in Gary, Ind., will fail, for several reasons, chief among which is the fact that the school board of that little city has reached the limit of its bonded indebtedness. Then, too, not only our residents of Gary, including the three Afro-American aldermen, but also leading white citizens of the town, are opposed to it. Furthermore, an appropriation for such a school would be a violation of state law, just as is the Gary city council's emergency ordinance appropriating $15,000 to the school-board for a temporary "jim-crow" school building for the 18 students. The N. A. A. C. P. announces that it proposes to take part in the battle. A "BAREFACE" LIE. A "BAREFACE" LIE. Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 29, 1927 Mr. Edwin D. Barry, Director of Public Safety, Director of Public Safety, City Hall. Dear Sir:--You are quoted in Wednesday morning's Plain Dealer as saying: "The class of undesirables that in-fest the third (police) precinct have lived there all their lives!" If you are quoted in the foreword, wish to inform you that who gave you that mis-information told you a bareface lie and did it for political effect. I have lived in the third precinct for more than sixty years and am still residing there and know whereof I speak. There are hundreds of old residents, nearly all good people, still living in the third precinct who will surely resent the election, this fall, the statement at least attributed to you in Wednesday morning's paper is reputed or the announcement made that you did not make such an unfortunate mis-statement. Director Barry "Sidesteps!" Department of Public Safety, Cleveland, Oct. 1, '27 Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Dear Harry:—I have your letter in which you state that there are hundreds of inrestants all good people, still living in the 3d prefect and I quite agree with you. However, we have had more or less trouble up there but I am in hopes that the day is not far distant when the trouble will be abated. Respectfully yours, Edwin D. Barry, Director of Public Safety. Cleveland, O., Oct. 3, '27 Mr. Edwin D. Barry, Director of Public Safety. City Hall, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Ed: — Your letter of October 1, 1927, just received. It is not like YOU to overlook the most important part of my letter of Sept. 29, 1927, in replying to it. The letter just received, as you will notice by the enclosed clipping, makes no reference at all to this most important part. I have crossed the clipping enclosed to my letter of the letter of Sept. 2, 1927), the small part of my letter your letter, just received, replies to. I would like to hear from you as soon as possible in reply to the rest of the communication. Nothing, except a failure to send such a reply, could make me believe that you ever made such a manifestly untrue and slanderous statement. Very truly yours, Harry C. Smith. There is something radically wrong with a group of people who refuse to help relieve their own burdens. The day of throwing bouquets is gone forever. The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything affecting the lives of Afro-American people is all wrong.

Smith, Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—Long live The Gazette! a welcome friend to the Ricks-Demby family for forty-three years. We boast of being among the oldest continuous subscribers of The Gazette—not the largest but the best in essentials and the most dependable of race journals Wishing you continued good health and success, we are as ever. Very truly yours, (Bishop) Edward T. and Nettie M. Demby. --- IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND. FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of "always will be discriminated submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years, universally and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's cf no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say. "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and not 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. MURINE FOR YOUR EYES Murine Co. Dpt. H.S. 9E.

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 experience with people. For forty-three years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its presense 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 true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, 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 Theodore Boehm, 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. Long life to you and The Gazette. Yours for the right. John P. Green. (Former Member, Ohio State Senate.) My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys; Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot.

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 Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its final position, President Coolidge. In its existence, 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 census-takers in this city in 1910, including white people, black and black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, an announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican situation an Democratic one. Negroes come by Republican, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held on to by our Republican President. On this week, a colored girl is captured after having best examination, and then having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary of State President Coudie. He calls from North Carolina, the home of the other father and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy, nor tooten here, would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan "white" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postfive segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, far less galling to the colored clerks, that is far less galling to their government, taking their taxes, 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 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, a com for t able lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation 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, the postoffice building, announced daming and the intelligent social evening with the officers for "the postoffice employees" yet not one was dressed 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. 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. 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 large caterer in the city, where the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bears promotions. Here, at where, in our office, pass over superior employees directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so easily. He was 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 who believe "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. Only subsequently did the charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a parish 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 or of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girl 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! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our loca 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 fight for democracy was at the crises. Oswald Garrison Villard came to the Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau ait together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fulness, under the administration of the party that Abram Lincoln, Charles Summer and Frederick Doug g has helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other institution. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of them are the most excellent positions, the inevitable result of 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 a man of Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the national Constitution, Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce that they be subject to the issue; is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilets, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to work in the laundry to stire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates with space, spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registries of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed. What it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept secession, with no other opportunity in poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere; must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen President Calvin Coulomb can pro- event, he could make a canable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. --- Washington, b. C. —We wish to call attention to the fact that in the light against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. in the former, beet 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 I ended up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcures An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated TELEPHONE IS FREE OF DISEASE DANGER TELEPHONE IS FREE OF DISEASE DANGER Noted Doctor Says the Mouthpiece Seldom Harbors Dangerous Germs Disease germs are such a bugaboo to some people that they hesitate to use the telephone or even handle paper money. Every time they ride a street car they rush home to wash their hands and gargle with the well-known halitosis remedy. YOU NEEDN'T OR AFRAID THESE AREN'T ANY GERMS ON ME Much of this danger is imaginary. Dr. Royal S. Copeland, United States Senator and former Health Commissioner of New York city, writes in a recent article that health workers have decided that "it is most uncommon to find any dangerous germs attached to telephones." Disease is rarely carried by things. Dr. Copeland explains; it is carried by persons. Moist secretions of the nose and throat, sneezed or cogged into the atmosphere, may contain disease germs, and they may also be passed from hand to hand. "It is conceivable that the moist drops of discharge might be sprayed on the telephone," writes Senator Copeland. "If it were used by a second person before the moisture could dry, and the lips and tongue were brought in contact with this secretion, there might be an infection." In practice, however, one seldom comes in actual contact with the mouthpiece, and even so, a sufficient interval has usually elapsed for any moisture left by a previous secr to have dried. --- THE MAN WHO DARES "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives he may save, the countenances of friends gawd cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours—George W. Blount. © REVILLE Certain renowned houses in Paris are delighting their clientele with chic fur ensembles of hat and coat, often with pocketbook to match, after the manner of the models in this illustration. The idea of a fur hat matched to the fur trimming of one's coat coat or to one's coat of fur is said to be gaining in favor with those who are creating fashions for the coming winter months. This is especially true in regard to novelty pelts such as spotted calfskin and other flat furs like broadtail and shaved tamb. Remember how fashion once frowned upon fabrics which imitated fur? Well, time brings changes. One of the notable changes wrought in the realm of the mode is the indorsement which stylists are this season according to materials which look like fur but are not. Even the better houses are spousing the cause of the fur-fabric coat at present. It really requires little or no persuasion to convert even the most skeptical to the idea of these handsome coats. They speak for themselves in their "snappy" styling and general attractiveness. As to these new fur fabrics, it is al- A social season resplendent with modes which dazzle with glitter and glimmer an lustrous color is in promise. It is indeed a gorgeous scene which fashion forespeaks of fabulously beautiful metal clothes both for gown and for evening wrap, and of velves as lustertiful and colorful as fancy can picture, also of frocks which seillantate with beads and exotic-toned spangles. Bespangled gowns such as the one in the picture are destined to lend enchantment to the pageantry of formal mode. This one poses an all-over spangled sleeveless top over a petticoat made of gold-and-silver cloth. Its slightly molded-to-the-form lines confirm fashion's favor for the princess silhouette. The shoulder flower with its big sprawling leaves stresses the latest trend to larger gauzer types. Luxurious materials proclaim the elegance note in no uncertain terms this season. Soft drape metallic fabrics are entrancing, especially those in gold and silver on black, which are so much in demand. The appeal of metal cloth is becoming more apparent as autumn days play their prelude to winter festivities. Metal brocades for the evening wrap is one of the mode's outstanding triumphs. Sheer metals on chiffon and georgette will be very popular, too, for frocks which feature the draped silhouette. Some very remarkable beaded gowns have entered upon fashion's de luxe program, such as, for example, an evening model of navy blue chiffon which is an riched with rhinestone embroidery in butterfly motifs. That is the interesting thing about the newer beaded dresses, they are unlike their predecessors—so entirely unlike that merely referring to them as "beaded" does not convey a proper impression of their striking originality. Bead fringe arranged in tiers is one of the new movements. A metal frock bordered with a patterning of generously sized most unbelievable that through the artifice of man such amazingly realistic reproductions are possible of leopard skin, clivet cat, raccoon, broadtail and even seal and beaver and many other types. A caprice of the cloak fashionist is to trim these flat fur cloth effects with genuine long-hair fur collars and cuffs. For instance, a black broadtail fabric coat is apt to have an imposing black fox shawl collar or a leopard fur fabric may sport a collar of natural fish or brown fox. It is not, however, as a substitute for the genuine fur coat that these wraps of fur fabric score their real triumphs, but as a novelty which frankly declares its man-made origin. Another smart mode is that of materials printed in reptile patternings. Many of the new accessories such as hand bags, footwear and belts are successfully developed of leather and fabrics printed with reptile markings simulating the cobra, the python and other snakeskins as well as lizard and alligator effects. Raincoats which are made of rubberized reptile cloth are in vogue. JULIA BOTTOMLEY (© 1927, Western Newspaper Union.) THE FASHION WEEK hollow gold beads spells a refreshing note. Some of the navy blue formal frocks (navy is the latest thing for evening wear) have a single huge flower worked out in brilliant beads, the leaves and stems sometimes trailing to the hemline with the petals of the flower covering a goodly portion of the bodice.

SECRETARY INTERIOR THOMAS STANDS ALONE If there is another "Negro" at the nation's capital, in the employ of the government, who could possibly be induced to write such a letter to a cabinet officer as Prof. Neval H. Thomas has just written to Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of the interior, will some one, anyone, please name him. We do not believe there is another one there or anywhere else in the country. They would not take that risk of losing their jobs if it would save the entire race from the eternal demission bow-wows. Is it at all strange, under such circumstances, that we lack real leaders and have so many "Perry Howards"? And why leaders of the Republican party and others have so little respect for the race?
