S. Congress to Resign and Go Home in June—This Sure Is "A Great Country." Washington, D. C.—American "jim crow," the extension of the color line to include Filipinos, has caused the Hon. Isauro Gabaldon, desident Philippine commissioner, to resign his post, effective in June, and determine to sail for home. In a scorching-hot farewell speech delivered in the House of Representatives, last week Monday, Mr. Gabaldon declares he will go home to devote his full energies to work for Filipino independence. "It wouldn't be so bad," he said, "to be governed by people of my own, but to be governed over my protest by people who consider themselves superior, and people who can't shake hands with me on the basis of political and social equality, creates an atmosphere that is intolerable and against which I protest the power, not being Filipinos are modest, but have and self-respect. They can not be completely happy here, because white Americans do not treat them on the basis of social, racial and political equality. Even now, Filipinos graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, are not permitted to serve aboard American vessels, but are transferred to the army to command Filipino troops in the Philippines. Filipinos graduated the military academy at West Point, where they are commanded of Filipino troops." Mr. Gabaldon recited how Filipinos, had risen to be prime minister in Spain and generals in the Spanish army. "We have been governed without our consent and in spite of our protests for 30 years. Lincoln, said, 'Those who deny freedom to others deserve none for themselves and under a just God cannot long retain it. If then, God is just the United States must either keep its pledge to give us our independence or else deserve none of its own. That's according not to the Constitution to ham Lincoln. The only reason the United States keeps a strangle-hold on the Philippines, is because the Philippines haven't armed force enough to put them out. The reason we have not been given our independence is because of the investment of American capital in the island. Every additional dollar of American investment there is an additional nail in the coffin of our independence. We have hopes and expects some day to be able to amalgamate and attain the moral support of the colored races of the earth by leading the campaign for racial equality. This issue is coming more and more to the front with each passing year. The colored races know that the United States promised to give the Philippines their freedom and instead of doing so, is only making one excuse to make use of this white-race propaganda purposes as long as the United States continues to violate its pledge to give independence to the Philippines."

You were elected by the "Negroes" votes, thinking from year to year you would wake up and be a help to the "Negro" citizens of Cleveland. But this last act of yours will keep you from ever being a councillor again in Cleveland. I wonder, Mr. Councillor Fleming, had she been your sister?

According to the resolution the Senate committee on foreign relations is directed to make such investigations as are necessary to ascertain the reasons for the seizure and the continued occupation of Haiti by the United States; the reason why the constitution of Haiti was superceded, their public elections suppressed, the rights of the Haitian people interfered with, the guarantees of liberty, freedom of speech, and of the press under said constitution impaired. It would also inquire into the present conditions in Haiti and report their findings to the Senate together with such measures as shall permit the Haitian people to set up and establish a government of their own choice and assume control of the same and their own civil and political affairs, and which shall provide for the withdrawal from Haiti of all military forces of the United States and officers of military naval and other forces, except regularly accredited diplomatic representatives or consular agents as may be agreed upon by the U.

To enable the government to make this change, amendments to the "Constitution" were "voted" on Jan. 10 and 11. Letters, received, last week, explain the means by which these amendments were "passed." They say that the strict laws and municipal laborers were packed and trucks so that they might not escape. They were taken to the voting places and obliged by strict orders to cast their votes for the amendments. As the number of voters was small, each man voted not less than 40 times, going from one polling place to another; each time using a false name. In Port au Prince all custom house clerks, employees and laborers were sent for and organized in groups of 11 each to be sent to the polling place. As the pay roll was the control of a supervisor, was forced to cast as many votes as required. Dr. M. Desbrosses, assistant to the president, was reported as voting boys of 14 and 15 years of age. Government laborers, tired and ashamed, escaped one at a time. In order to keep them, they were made drunk with taffy (white rum).

MILLION DOLLAR BANK FAILS! Wage Earners' Savings Bank And Trust Co. Has Liabilities of $1. 155,620—No Arrests Made, The Bank's Doors were Locked Tightly, Last Week Monday. Savannah, Ga. — The Wage Earners' Savings Bank & Trust Company, a million dollar institution, and regarded as one of our strongest banks in the South, closed its doors here Saturday, Mar. 3, '28. According to statements made in July, 1927, by officials, the Wage Earners had on deposit $1,061,620. Other liabilities at that time were listed at $99,400, and there was $100,000 in capital store. Among its resources were listed surplus and profits, $25,000; loans and discounts, $896,140; bonds and securities, $162,970; cash, exchanges and due from banks, $37,300; miscellaneous resources were listed at $134,240. Efforts to locate officials of the bank, last week, Monday, failed. Even in business circles the whole affair seems to be clouded in mystery. No arrests have as yet been made and what precipitated the suspension of business brought about suspension of business learned. The officials of the bank are: C. E. Williams, pres; S. C. Johnson, vice-pres; J. W. Jackson, cashier; R. A. Harper, assist, cashier; M. J. Robertson, Jr., and E. C. Blackamore, assistants. The president, C. E. Williams, was a brother of J. S. Williams, for several years noted as the producer of the first bale of cotton to be ginned in the state each year, and who became involved in an illegal stock transaction in Baltimore and was sentenced to prison. He resided in Baltimore and his residence in Baltimore. S. W. Williams was heralded as a rich southern farmer worth $350,000, who had been driven out of the South because of prejudice there.

Some of their kind came North in the last ten years and our people in this section of the country had better keep a sharp eye on them. They sure will bear watching. Our veteran local Democratic leader, Walter L. Brown, a member of our Democratic National Committee, informs The Gazette that its next meet is soon to be held in Cleveland, and that Chairman Ross of Buffalo is now engaged in the task of notifying our people of the country of the fact. There is so little difference between the two great parties, as far as our people are concerned, these days, and has been, for so very many years now, that Afro-American Democrats are naturally multiplying in number yearly. Ormond A. Forte has written The Gazette that he was not "let out" of the county auditor's office, as we had been informed, but that he resigned. That does not in the least affect the point we were making by the publication and that is that County Auditor Zangerle employed Forte "before the election in 1926" and has not replaced him with a member of the race. It does look very much, as we said, as if Mr. Zangerle was "playing politics" when he "hired" Forte, who "resigned on June 1, 1927," after the election, as we said.

Atlanta, Ga.—With denominational schools and the several annual conferences, together owing over $154,000, there is increasing unrest and dissatisfaction among the laity and ministers here. Mismanagement, particularly of the schools, seems one of the causes. Around 912, when Bishop S. Smith was stitched by Georgia, and was seated and prosperity ran high in the A.M. E. camps, a piece of property, some 600 acres, more or less, valuable and in a beautiful location, just on the outskirts of Macon, was bought for $30,000, a song compared with 1927 values. This property was sold for $2,500 in January at public auction to satisfy a $15,000 mortgage. News of this colossal loss reaching the $15,000 as "irregular," there was a general undercover movement undertaken to make a study of financial affairs generally. Investigations indicate a mortgage indebness on Morris Brown University, this city, of $78,000, upon which an annual interest of more than $6,000 is paid. It is presumed that this mortgage was floated to satisfy an obligation as "irregular," when additional property were acquired from the city, costing that amount. But why did a $60,000 real require a retirement mortgage of $78,000, fully $18,000 more than the property cost? Other information seems to indicate that the school has a debt of more than $21,000 in the form of past due salaries to instructors, more than $10,000 in the form of additional eight conferences in the state are under obligations totalling more than $12,000. And worse than all, the school treasury is empty. It is believed that a comparative statement of the business conditions of the school for a period of three to fifteen years would show that the educational system has been going from bad to worse. The president, John B. O'Neill, is the chief capita. He has gathered around him a staff of trained instructors, but most of these he can't keep in his employ more than a year—no funds, no pay. AN APPRECIATION! Cleveland, Ohio, March 15, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Dear Mr. Smith:—While I have not as yet decided to become a candidate for the Republican nomination for the state legislature, I nevertheless want to thank you and express my appreciation for the endurance which gave your issue of recent date. Knowing that you yourself served in the legislature so effectively, a recommendation coming from you is cause for great satisfaction. I have received quite a few requests from organizations to enter the race, and if I decide to do so I shall most certainly appreciate the support of yourself as an individual and that of "The Old Reliable" Gazette. Again thank you, I am Yours very truly, PERRY B. JACKSON. COLOR COST POSITION She Had Held Satisfactorily for More Than Two Months— *after* Washington, D. C.—Mrs. Charles Johnson, 1920 13th St. N. W., after holding a position as government nurse for two months, was dismissed on account of her color. Mrs. Johnson is light in complexion and could easily pass as a member of either race. When she first went to work her employer was charmed by her culture and efficiency. Eventually the discovery was made that she was colored. Her dismissal followed. Neval Thomas, head of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., who took the matter up with the bureau's chief, reports that he forced the admission that Miss Johnson's dismissal was on account of her color. He reports the bureau chief as declaring: "When you worry the other bureaus. Some of them have no Negroes in them and I have got some."

Siki Loses to Shikat Philadelphia, Pa.—Showing enormous strength but suffering under the terrific strain of a locking double toe-hold, Reginald Skii, weighing in at 204, put up a game struggle in his bout with Richard Shilkat, 220-pound giant German wrestler, in their bout here, a week ago last Friday night, but after 35 minutes and 21 seconds of grappling, found himself in the middle of an early part of the bout the Abyssinian had the German down several times, often tossing him around the ring, and at the end of 30 minutes' grappling, looked like a winner. The two men fought almost ferociously, but finally Shikat got his double toe-hold on Skii, and the plucky grappler, suffering pain, was forced to raise his hand and acknowledge defeat. The crowd, however, was wrestling with he received a great vaviation at the end of the while hoots, were heard when the German was declared winner. The match had been scheduled for 45 minutes. Godfrey in Lasky Photoplay. Los Angeles, Cal.-Great big George Godfrey, who beat Paulino Uzcdun at Wrigley Field, Feb. 28, has been engaged at a large sum to appear in person for a week at the Lincoln Theatre here. George is the biggest attraction in the city at present, and almost stops the traffic as he drives thru Broadway in his Chrysler roadster. Though not much on speech making George's act is to give a short talk, go through a few training stunts, take a few pictures and pretend to Make Sea Picture of Lasky. Godfrey is to begin at once on a new sea picture by Lasky signed for after the Uzcdun fight. It features the giant "Shadow" and is to be filmed at Catalina Island. William Wrigley is said to have a large interest in it. He has appeared before in less prominent but very important parts in the Sea Beast, Old Ironsides, and several other sea pictures.

Bankers Lose to Elks Missing 26 of 33 free shots, the Union Trusts lost an uphill battle to the Elks basketball team Monday night, at Elks hall. The superb guarding of Harris and Ross prevented the bank team from registering a single field goal in the first half. Our boys were ahead at the midway mark, 13 to 4. Olszewski and Kirkwood came back and made some great shots to out-score their opponents, 17 to 10, in the last half, but the gap was too great and the Elks took the decision, 23 to 21. Cleveland Hornets' New Backer The Hornets, Cleveland's representative in our national baseball league, last year, will play this year, under the name of the Euclid-13th St. Recreation Co.

Lefty Miller, southpaw de luxe, will again do the bulk of the mound duty, and be assisted by George Brannagan and Charley Hurst, who was acquired from the Boston Pilgrims with whom he boasts of 26 victories in 28 starts, including six shutouts. Jim Adkins, who was obtained to fill the gap at short, is a boy just out of school and from home. Then in college, where he starred as a fielder. The Hornets, last year, met and defeated such local Class A teams as Fisher Body, General Favorite Knits and the Tellings of the O. & P. league.

CATERING TO PREJUDICE To the question, "what is your opinion of the melting pot idea?" Rabbi B. R. Brickner of the Euclid Ave. Temple replied over the radio, on a recent Monday evening, as follows: "I believe the fusing of races into a more homogeneous American race, is inevitable with the cessation of immigration. Already it is proceeding a new and different racial type. "Firstly, the difficulties are with the Negroes who cannot be fused with the whites, and who should be encouraged to develop their own psychological and racial traits as a contribution to American culture; and secondly, I believe the melting pot is melting too fast, and therefore the spiritual and cultural contributions of the spiritual and cultural contributions in the character and life of the immigrant races who settled in this country." "Firstly" (as he would say), the rabbi is "spoofing"—catering to damphool American (U. S.) prejudice when he says "the 'Negroes' cannot be fused with the whites" because of their race, and this positively silly in the face of the fact that fusing with whites has been going on ever since the independence of this country was achieved, and is going on at an ever increasing rate with each succeeding year. This same is true in southern Europe, South America and where the prejudice is appreciable extent. Rabbi Brickner knows better, but has not the courage to say what he knows is a fact. He may think that he is lessening the prejudice in this country against his own people by assailing the "Negro" and so catering to damphool American (U. S.) prejudice to his is that is hardly a way to do it. He must take a manly stand against all such narrowness as prejudice regardless of what race or religion it is directed toward. The "Negro" or afro-American's "psychological and racial traits" are not as many nor as varied as those of the damphool American. This is the nature identified), especially the objectable ones, because the former are Americans to the manor born. As a matter of fact, there is less reason for a fusion of Jews and gentiles in this country than there is for that of the so-called "Negro" and so-called white American. To this, the damphool American does subscribe. And yet even it is going on at an ever increasing rate. The overwhelming majority of "the immigrant races who settled in this country" were not of those, in the parts of the world from whence they came, that possessed any considerable amount of "spiritual and cultural contributions" to this country but not "affirm" this country but came here to get them, and other things, of course, and it is really an insult to the progressive The stores are full of artificial aids that give artificial beauty.

Yes, "the tusing of races into a more homogeneous American race is inevitable with (or without) the cessation of immigration" and "it is producing a new and different racial type," a better "racial type," if you please, in which the so-called "Negro," native American, is playing his and her part as thousands upon thousands of octoons, "passing as white," attest. America is a "melting too fast," either. Moreover, the American "Negro's psychological and racial traits" are being developed" right alongside of and in the same way as those of other Americans "as a contribution to American culture." Let the Jews and all other "immigrant races join the chorus" and let Rabbi Brickner stop "playing to the gallery" of (1) the Jews, which is even more bitter against his people than it is against ours. He cannot lessen that against the Jews by trying to promote that directed at our people but should denounce unqualifiedly and openly all damphouse race and religious prejudice. "PHILLIIS WHEATLEY" HISTORY Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of Washington, D. C., was in the city, recently, and stopped at the Phillis Wheatley home. While here, Miss Burroughs wrote an article for the newspaper, and she sent generally to our papers, the country over, from this city. There is just one sentence in the article that needs elucidation and that one is as follows: Jane Hunter has given to her women girls a business and social institution that takes high rank among the best in the world." While it is not our desire to take one iota of credit from Miss Hunter, for anything good she has ever done, the TRUTH relative to the Phillis Wheatley home should be told to Miss Burroughs and all others interested. And that truth, is, white people projected, built and maintain the place, and also started the Phillis Wheatley association, using Miss Hunter for the research. "7 because they wanted to stop a movement inaugurated by some of our local ministers to force open the doors of the local Y. W. C. A. to our girls and young women. Mrs. W. C. Schofield, its president at the time, conceived the idea of establishing a local "jim crow" Y. W. C. A. and secured the assistance of Miss Jennie C. Hunter, a trained nurse, as she was known at that time. The "jim crow" hospital here. Failing in that effort, she readily enlisted under the banner of Mrs. Schofield's movement to start something that would relieve her institution from the pressure being brot by Rev. Dr. Horace C. Bailey and others of our ministers to force open its doors to those of our young women eligible. Miss Jennie C., now Jane Hunter, said to the editor of the latter issue of the journal when she consulted him relative to a local "jim crow" hospital and heard his objections to such a very harmful thing to all of our people in Cleveland, she was going "to make a place" for herself, and later did so by enlisting under To beautify hair naturally!

They and are sent to the Philms Wheeler and his sister, Miss roughs very properly characterizes in her article, referred to above, as "the biggest and best hotel for Negro women in the whole world" and that is about all it is. But the fact is the Frackelions and other whites now control it just as Mrs. Schofield and other whites did until the 1950s, when they did and do all the planning and executing, and furnish about all the money, when it comes to the business end of the institution and, too, unfairly reproach local "Negroes" because they have paid but an insignificant part of their near 150.000 beds in the property of the Philms Wheatley home. The foregoing is the ruth and nothing but the truth. And there is much more to be told whenever it is found necessary to do so.

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice?—Protest, Protest! (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—There is more segregation in Washington, today, under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of the segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, under President Wilson, fewer parks were built, 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. President Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the censurers in this city in 1910, restricting white workers in the work, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany their papers, is tenaciously held by our Negro President. Some within go a colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He halls, of North Carolina, the office of the other favorite and a leader of the segregationist cause, the 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 hold demonstrations or declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Republican party, and found its "welcome home" here and in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. In the postoffice, segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks under humiliation and physical disadvantage. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where inferior white clerks can buy appetizing lunches and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold lunches from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage as it is, far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings a more when they reflect that they are far more 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 whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and regregation and employee training. 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. The white employees have even passed around invitations to the white employees in the early morning, and a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before was to color to him and he ordered the color to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks got 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. No "Negro," however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of manpower. The colored clerks have been used to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent appeals to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C. The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more active avenues of the employment being closed to the employment of their colony. These whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our children. I am glad to say, we have few of our people patronize the place of little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the infenice pass over our superior employees to attractive 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 spindlecoated his work, felt the injustice of this company 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" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a right-employee. He was dismissed after the dance included a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused or setting the building afire in revenge for his abrefusion 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. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By seizing the unfinished employee are given 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 questions to be made by a detail 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 iniquity warrants the government 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) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the life of manhattan collector (deceased). Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member 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 the segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was up- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1928. on intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to lift the hitch and were summarily dismissed. Senator La Follette, father of the present Senator of the same name, 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 national gathering, and national gathering of the N. A. A. C. P. 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 crisis. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack the White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the N. A. A. C. P. secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers that 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 fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. We have 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 homes, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation of the class 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 acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, that the national banking system which financiers the Civil War and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never know 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 there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our laborers, employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to implement their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no further. 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 and are forced to travel long distances to dislike 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 scene at their presence creates two scenes: owners with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored oppo- party has appointed a separate room which is publicly claimed 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; they are not expected to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, the clerks can stop every bit of this damnable just, as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan whenever he decides to do so. Subscribe Now M THE NEW SWEATERS INTERPRET HIGHLY MODERNISTIC DESIGN Anderyn and Stephenson THE inevitable scarf! Very little is being planned for spring in the way of fashionable attire which does not include the scarf. Perhaps the reason for this is that women today seek feminine charm in dress, and there is no single item of adornment which so effectively adds the "feminine touch" as a decorative scarf. What with squares, oblongs, triangles and shawl effects having been exploited in their every phase of silk, sheer velvet, lace and cliffon, variously hand-painted, embroidered, batiked, knitted and beaded, likewise hemstitched, fringed or unfringed, it would seem as if there was "nothing new under the sun" in scarfs. But there is! There's the ruffled scarf, for instance, which if not new to all of us, is at least new to many of us. It is a case of "love at first sight" for these frilly bits of colorful georgette or crepe de chine, as you may please to choose. Aside from its pretiness, the ruffled scarf is designed for a two-fold purpose—to protect the inside of the coat collar at the same time that it shields the delicate frock from coming in contact with the heavy fur of one's wrap. THE NEW SWEATER HIGHLY M THE new sweaters are just that—new in every sense of the word. There is no mistaking a sweater of this year's vintage. Modernist motif and design, as well as color schemes such as are characteristic of the immediate moment, are marks which at once establish the identity of the sweater of 1928 origination. Not only is the sweater a subject of vast importance on its own individual count, but its significance in the mode becomes paramount now that it has been elected to play so conspicuous a role in the ensemble for spring. More and more the tendency in dress design is to revolve about the big central theme of establishing a definite relation between every detail of the costume. This is accomplished by harmony of color and design—of which Paris contourists have long been aware, and which they so obviously are interpreting this season in the three-piece sweater sports ensemble. So are airful the new sweater colorings they combine with tones and tints of accompanying coats and jackets and skirts to form a perfect unit. Among the new types sweaters inombre effects are numerous. They range from pastels at the top to the py of The re who might One may, of course, wear the scarf as any other scarf, simply throwing it loosely about the shoulders, but the ideal way is to tack it to the inside of the coat so that the wre wruffs will peep out daintily from within each side of the front opening of the coat. The picture shows a ruffled scarf before and after wearing. The colorfulness of these scarves adds to their attractiveness as they come in the 'ovelest of new tones and tints. A very sheer chiffon scarf is shown to the left in this picture. It is there because any discussion of scarfs is incomplete unless it at least refers to these dainty transparencies of chiffon which are so beloved and which bid fair to grow in favor for the coming months. Some of the latest of these sheerest of sheer scarfs take on the dimensions of huge square shawls, their exquisite flower designs, and if not florals then modernistic patternings, hand-blocked or painted. daytime and sports wear the newest thing is twin triangles, oftenest in coin or polka dot, one for the neck and the other to be tied about the hips in gypsy girdle fashion. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1928, Western Newspaper Union) S INTERPRET MODERNISTIC DESIGN very deepest shades at the bottom. Patchwork sweaters, too, are of the very new. They are either printed or interknit to look as if swatches of the jersey were actually seamed together in squares and cubes and oblong sections. The color-play in these leaves nothing for the imagination. Candy stripes in modest as well as bizarre colors are also featured. Tinsel-knit sweaters are prominent in the spring mode. Not only are the metallic threads interknit but often there are touches of gold leather in appliqué and bindings and for belts. As an example of modernism which asserts itself at a glance the sweater in the picture is a convincing object lesson. Its motif done in squares of several colors is indicative of the new trend of bold futuristic effects. The colors are very interesting for this model, being parchment, beige and chocolate brown, a combination which occurs again and again in the newer ensembles. The sweater itself is of superfine tweewheel jersey and it is worn with a beige crepe skirt. Of course it would be equally as effective with a skirt of tweed, kasha or basketcloth. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

It took the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the constitutionality of the law and it has been Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter.

(93 v. 163 11.) very effective. Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have followed Ohio's lead and enacted mob violence or anti-lynching laws which are copies of our Ohio law. Several other northern states and at least one border state (Kentucky) have also enacted anti-lynching laws, in recent years, like Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Ohio law follows: UBS. ed. representative of victim of lynching. try by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. inst member of mob not another county. Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v. 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of the Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1884: The General Manager Sir 12481 Wholeer, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, bar-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the municipal facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than fifty dollars, and any son aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outery for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. L. BENZON, revengal, M. My Dear Sister, please your letter in the Beacon-Journal this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known that as going on in its own town, there was no occasion for criticism editorially. THE HW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. "Give Me Liberty Bonds or Check," Is Rogers' Motto (Plain Dealer Special) Birmingham, Ala., March 2. My old friend, Will Hays, took Patrick Henry's old phrase and cleaned up on it: "Give me Lib- erty bonds or give me checks." Bill says he got $260,000, but give some of it back. As bad as I felt I had to laugh at that one. Then he gave he got it back again. That sounds more plausible. Then he says he gave back some more. That brings on an another doubt. Then he says he held the other but didn't want to use it. He is resorting to fiction again. Finally Sinclair was so flabbergasted at Will returning any of it that he took it and gave it to the Democrats where he knew none of it would ever come back. Just a sore headed voter that didn't get any of it. Patronize Our Advertisers ading It Copy of It
