Detroit, Mich.—The following is an editorial from our local publication the Detroit Independent; "The N. A. A. C. P. is achieving its achievements in 1927, recited the Sweet case as one of its outstanding triumphs for the year. We would not discount or attempt to discredit any good the Association may have done or is doing, but we do insist upon the Association telling the whole truth, nothing but the truth so help me God. The public would believe from the statement of the Association that it won a complete victory in the case; that acquitted Dr. Sweet, broke down the curse of aggression, and that the doctor is safely bound in his home, surrounded by his white neighbors. But such is not the case, Dr. Sweet is not such in the house, He is living in far more humble quarters—and the Association ought to tell the public so, from which it collected approximately $100,000 and paid out half of it, more or less. The public that paid in this money, in an hour of great excitement, is entitled to the truth, the whole truth. The case was mismanaged the cheaply, charming in the history more like a play to the computer cheap notoriety than like a service to humanity. The state had no case in the first instance against Dr. Sweet and his friends. Whoever did the killing did their duty. It was a case of the justified their duty. It was a case of the defense of the home, Dr. Sweet ought to have been punished for not accepting full responsibility for the deed and pleading self defense. This would have absolved his wife, brothers and friends from the humiliation of a felon's cell for months. Dr. Sweet is out of touch with the people, and the care of murder but because the state failed to make out a case of failure against him. It is debatable whether the game was worth the ammunition in the case of the doctor, as he failed to absolve his protectors of all blame, and accept full responsibility. Rather than tell the truth as he knew it, he suffered his wife to linger in jail like a felon. Again the public has not overlooked the effort of the Association to capitalize this unfortunate affair by taking the doctor and his wife over the country as exhibition and 2, and the Association Dept. to star attraction—after it had raised more than enough money to take care of all expenses in the case, to a queen's taste. The Association ought to learn that honesty is the best policy, and that the truth sets men free. MARCH 24, 1928. SHIPSTEAD BILL Would "Hamstring" Our Workers, Says the Hon. Harry E. Davis. And Be a Rank Injustice to Millions of Afro-Americans—The U. S. Senate's Judiciary Committee Greatly Impressed—Atty. Charles W. Chesnutt. Washington, D. C.—How the Shipstead bill forbidding federal courts to issue injunctions in labor disputes would work gravely to the millions of our workers was told to the U. S. Senate judiciary committee, last week Tuesday, by the Hon. Atty. Charles W. Chesnutt. Harry E. Davis, ex-member of the Ohio Legislature and member of the Cleveland civil service commission. Mr. Davis raised an important point which has been overlooked by representatives of the National Manufacturers' association and other op- Hon. Harry E. Davis. ponents of this measure. Disclaiming any interest in the controversy between employers and labor unions over this measure, he proceeded to illustrate his argument by a case decided, last year, in Cuyahoga county when the common pleas court issued an injunction restraining the Cleveland local Waiters' union from picketing and boycoting as "unfair to organized labor a roadhouse near the city," because the employed waiters who had been refused the right to join a union on racial grounds. Attacks Protection. Mr. Davis declared to be particularly obnoxious and dangerous that section of the Shipstead bill which gives equity courts jurisdiction to protect property when there is no remedy at law for that purpose and states that "nothing shall be held to be property; unless it is tangible and transferable." He pointed out the per cent of the 12,000,000 Auto-Award cases as protected classes and a relatively small number have physical property. "The bill," he said, "would deny the right of equitable intervention to protect any thing except tangible property—the easiest to protect through the police power. On the other hand, the contract of employment, altho' not organized as a property, tangible and nontransferable and for that reason it would be denied the protection of the equity power thru injunction. The group in whose behalf I am speaking have little physical property to protect and would suffer most of all classes if protection were removed from employment rights. In effect, it would operate away from the equal protection of the laws at the face of the proposed law this does not appear." Norris Impressed. Senator Norris of Nebraska, chairman of the committee and favorable to the Shipstead bill, was evidently against the argument. He questioned the Clews SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS "Jordan," a Play, Sent to England to Increase Race Prejudice—Divorced European Women and French Plays Mistreated in the United States By M.

In the National Library in this city is now an exposition of documents, prints, and pictures of the time of the French Revolution.

Both are of the same height and a measuring stick resting on the heads "Have you noticed? Their latest super-films are mixing more and more circus capers and evangelism. Douglas Fairbanks, himself, is only a brigand during two or three thousand metres of his recent film; long before the end is reached he is converted and becomes a Quaker. How could it be otherwise in a country where on the 'table de nuit,' in your room in the hotel you find a bible which is part of the furniture, and where divorced European women are treated as undesirables, no on their own land, and where our plays are forbidden because of alleged perversity. Evidently these comedies, called Parisian, are sometimes of extreme lightness of manner. And it is not surprising that the Catos of America send them back, bag and baggage by the next steamship. But if these kinds of plays shock the nephews of Uncle Sam we have perhaps the right in Europe to exclaim in listening to certain American plays: "What manners: How shameful! One simply does not know what to say about people who forget to such an extent the most elementary rules to play in London a play imported from New York, entitled 'Jordan. Here is the story: "A blind young woman directs in the southern states a number of plantations. She has for assistant a young man called Jordan. He has a musical voice and is very amiable, proof of which is that his mistress is not long falling in love with him. However, she would quickly be disgusted with him could she see him because he is a Negro. Oh! he is very light in color! Just a drop of coffee in a bowl of milk. Nevertheless, that is a terrible deficiency, Jordan would be thrust away with horror if he ever admitted that he was not pure white. So as he loves the girl he hides his 'intamy', and the marriage takes place. But at the moment of becoming a mother Mrs. Jordan learns the wooded, in pathetic scene, she orders her low caste husband to kill her, which he quickly does, because he thinks, too, that this is the only manner in which this tragic affair can be settled, after which he plunges the poignard, still dripping with blood, into his own breast. (Curtain.) "This tragedy had obtained an immense success in America. It contains no suggestive scenes and can be heard by all the world save those "unamiable" creatures, who descend, very indirectly, some times, from Ham, son of Noah. Oh well, say what you will, this play, or any similitude, even a play, would be fortuitously "Uncle Tom's Cabin," gives one, a not very high opinion of certain American customs. In the face of this, I ask if our customs are not better. Doubtless, in an American hotel we would hardly read the bible placed beside our ice water, but in following 'Ben Hur' (American film), Christ's agonized march to Calvary, we cannot forget that Christ died to save all men, regard-lander and later admitted abolition of the injunction power might operate as the latter stated. Mr. Davis said that our workers are being denied the advantages and protection of labor unions for racial reasons and should not now be denied adequate court protection. He read the decision in the Cleveland injunction case in which the court showed that the waiters' union restricted membership to white persons and issued a restraining order against the miners' picketing and boycotting activities, the federa courts have their enjoining, and the state courts might be likewise restricted, he said, and our workers would be reduced to a condition of "economic serfdom." "Colored workers want just as good pay and just as good working conditions as anybody else," Mr. Davis said. "If they are denied the right to improve their conditions by affiliation with those organizations which work to that end they certainly should have the right to seek employment through private contract and if that employment is challenged inside the county must have their remedy in the courts of the land." Atty. Charles W. Chessnut of Cleveland accompanied Mr. Davis.

In the National Library in this city is now an exposition of documents, prints, and pictures of the time of the French Revolution. One of the most striking of these lithographs depicts the equality of all men. It shows a nobleman and a slavesman, both Negro wearing only a loin cloth. Both are of the same height and a measuring stick resting on the heads of both. Underneath are the words "All men are equal." Seventeen years before (1776) similar words had been written in the American Declaration of Independence, a document from which the French Revolutionists derived much inspiration. The American colonists, however, meant only white men, while the black men in the French West Indies, who, today, enjoy equality with white Frenchmen, in their homes and more so in France.

Nh ANOTHER “DRIVE”! In explaining his latest “war on vice in the roaring third,” which was scheduled to start, Monday. Director of Safety Barry said, that day: “It’s just a case of conditions in the Third becoming unbearable.” ‘That's a joke, pure and simple. ‘The “conditions” there, Monday, were no different than they are all the time excep, the few days, oc- casionally, when the director has on one of his spectacular “drives” which are only potent in part while they are on, and he knows it. ‘Those of us who live in “The Roaring Third” know, and have time and again told the director and City Manager Hop- kins that there is never going to be any permanent good done in the now roaring third and fourth police pre- cinets until the police are restored to patrol duty in those precincts. ‘And we don't mean a few police rid- ing about the precincts in an auto, either, What is absolutely neces- sary is the old-time police patrolling ‘on foot, That and that only, pro- viding the officers are left free to do their duty as they see it, will ever bring about the greatly desired change in “the roaring third and fourth precincts.” et THAT WHITFIELD “MESS!” ‘There are just two elements in that John Leonard Whitfield daily newspaper “mess” of last week open to criticism. They are: First; the very foolish effort to place the body on exhibition (pub- Ue). Second: Safety Director Edwin D. Barry's incessant chatter (threats, too) in the newspapers. ‘The latter was even more harm- ful to our peorle of this community than the foolish effort that was the cause of it. Whitfield was at least half-white and his association was almost entirely with that group of people. ‘The woman he called, his wife is white, There was positively no good excuse, from any viewpoint, for the daily newspapers’ and some individuals’ repeated references to him as a “Negro,” It was placing a stigma upon all of our people of this THEM DAYS ARE GONE FOREVER fees ie ade [i coma eC an evened bea MOU'VS WO MONEY- AND WHAT'S MORE] NOU'RE SUCH A SILLY sore = oe il 2 ore a + ie 1 Size S| fe ney y RLY 2 {Se ” Ee 2 HM s . ie ss : fra Rey en which is bound to prove very harmful, and which they afd not and do not deserve, On Tues- day of last week, Director Barry with a “flourish of newspaper trumpets” ordered Whitfield’s body “buried im- mediately.” ‘This was not done... On Wednesday, the day following Di- rector Barry ordered the undertak- ing firm in charge of the body not to permit the public to view the re- mains, According to a daily news- paper, one ‘thousand persons did so. On Thursday, he was still “blowing his newspaper trumpets.” In addt- tion to the forgoing was his news- paper statement, early in the week, that there was a possfbil- ity ot a riot, encouraged at east, if not participated in by police if Whitfiela’s body was not buried at once. Friday morning, the body was buried with Director Barry and police as an escort to see that the thing was properly done. This and more. was heralded in the papers daily, last week, and Mr. Barry must be held largely responsible for it. The inexcusable and very harmful publicity hurt no one but our peo- ple, because of the pernicious and oft-repeated use of the word ‘“Ne- gro” after Whitfield’s name. Diree- tor Barry should be severely censur- ed for the many and unnecessary publications anent the Whitfield “mess,” last week, and credited only with finally stopping the public ex hibition of the body. One thing all should know and remember is that the great majority of our intelligent people of this community had and have no more interest in Whitfield, the criminal, than the great major- ity of the intelligent and law-abid- ing members of the other groups Gave.

Goffroth, at one time America’s premier fight promoter, writing of the mighty Joe Gans, in the New York Evening World, be- Meves that the greatest misfortune that Gans suffered was that of mis- management and the fact that he lived in the low purse days of pug- ilism, Says Ceffroth: “T can cite no better illustration of this than to point to 1906, when Gans, then champion of the ‘world, was influenced by his manager to take a $10,000 guarantee of a $30,- 000 purse, and agree that Battling Nelson, the challenger, was to get $20,000, That battle’ in Goldfield really marked the beginning of Gans’ end—eyen though he won on a foul in forty-two rounds and retained his title. For Billy Nolan, manager of Nelson, demanded that Gans make the lightweight limit for that fight. Gans had almost outgrown his di- vision. To get back to it he had to resort to extraordinaory measures. He made the weight, but the effort sapped his once superb vitality. He went the forty-two rounds with Nel- son—and he won. But it was only his sublime courage that carried him along. When Nelson continued to clamor for “another chance” along in 1908 i made the match. It was fought on July 4, 1908, and Gans went down ty knockout defeat in seventeen rounds Pirking nimseh off the floor, the unconquerable spirit of the wonderful fighter asserted it- self when he said: “I'd like to ight you again, Bat.” “Any time et all,” responded Nel- son, That fight was held on Sept. 9, 1908, in Colma, Fighting with all the Coolness and courage that made him a remarkable ring figure—and, in my opinion, the greatest little man of all time—Gans ‘battled to stem the irresistible rushes of Nel- son. He gave all he had to give in that fight, threw mind, heart, body land soul into the effort.

In return for this hard usage, the chains take their revenge out of the tires, force the engine to work harder and can rip holes in the fenders. ‘That Is, of course, if the driver ts careless about them. Put Chains on Right. Proper attachment of chains and careful driving will afford the most possible benefit out of the chains and the least possible barm to tires, en gine or other parts of the car, In the first place, the chains should be put on right. They must be loose enough to allow them to work thelr way around the tires. If they are tight they will stay In one position, cutfing into the casings and causing tire trouble, A little play will cause even wear ‘on the tires all around. ‘The chains, however, must not be too loose, or they'll rattle against the fenders when the car goes at any con- siderable speed and break easily. Furthermore, constant tapping of a chaln on the same spot of the fender will eventually wear aneat hole there. Proper Air in Tires. In the case of the new type of rub- ber links, on the contrary, the chains must be applied as tight as possible ‘The tires should be blown to thelr req uisite pressures and then the chains may be applied tightly. ‘The reason for this ts that rubber chains are flat and smooth, and there- fore do not need to have free play around the tires. In fact, if applied loosely, they are liable to break easily. Applied tightly, rubber chains will help lengthen the life of the tires, ‘These may be kept on at all times, no matter what the weather, for they are no bother either in driving or tn the way of comfort, Carbon Deposits Caused by Poor Grade of Oil Carbon “deposits in the cylinders muy be caused by excessive tse of oll_or aa Inferlor grade of oll.

Communication with Great Britain has been accepted so calmly as a part of the regular telephone system that early in 1928 steps were taken to extend the facilities to several cities of Holland and Belgium. An example of the utility of the service was furnished on January 17, when officials of the American Multigraph Company, in Cleveland, took part in a conference of the British sales force, meeting in London. In the pictures above, H. C. Osborn, president of the Patrolman Dennis Griffin, ended abruptly Friday when the body was buried in Harvard Grove cemetery.

About 100 of the audience would not vote. It proved an interesting affair. This same was true of the debate at Shiloh Baptist church, Monday evening, when the Hon. John P. Green and Mr. Peter Bonit debated the subject, Resolved, that Jefferson Davis was more responsible for Encouachment than Abraham Lincoln. The former, espousing the negative side of the question, won. The attendance was about 150 persons, the admission charge and inclement weather conspiring to keep down the attendance. "WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!" Cleveland, O. Aug. 28th, 1925. Hon. Harry C.

Atlanta, Ga. was made possible by radio telephony across the Atlantic, connecting the regular telephone systems of the United States and of England. For several years, however, undersea cables have connected England with the principal cities of continental Europe, and only technical details had to be worked out before the transatlantic service could be extended. On January 19, connection was made with Antwerp and Brussels in Belgium, by means of the transatlantic service and a cable under the English Channel, as indicated on the map. Later in the month, the Dutch cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague were included in the service. Interference Resented Nature is just toward men. It recompenses them for their sufferings.

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 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, the largest parks President Coolidge ever troubled present administration have 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 women to娶, white men to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republic institution and not a Republican institution. Negroes are 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 on our Republican president. Some months ago, a Republican girl appeared after having passed the best examiners 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 ranks from North Carolina, the home of the other availible and the segregation forces, 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 public 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 our Constitution, and found its "welcome home" here and in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.) ((Special to The Gazette.)) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice, segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The clerks maintain a spacious cafeteria for only a few, 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, 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 all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, render 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 recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. It has a sufficient 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 very presence of the head 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 it was to come off. I was 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 mall. The colored clerks have dared to union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to Washington, D. C.) The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure where the employees may go out there are a few tables that go out of the-way secured 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-publicumification of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotion to those as elsewhere the inferior white caste over superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the influence of other 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 trumpet. The 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. Defectives 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 their government. This easily disfigured. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of them, and have met by a deal 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 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 rebel and a slave, and a wife of Senator Robert La Follette (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 white women, and a white woman been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was up- 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 the last ditch 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 the space nor vigor of utterance. She then the public, the local white press, and addressed the 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 in the country. The fight checked the balance but the attack of the surrogates, 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 government service. We are the GRBGRBGRB 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. 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 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, a national extremity such as this national has never devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War, and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they can't be noticed. There is the same good complaint here among our clerks and employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to use 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 toiletries, 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 dark 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 "festive scene that their presence immerses with space to spare," but 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 collerk is an unregulated in a separate room, which is 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 Negro being removed, so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan whenever he decides to do so. Subscribe Now THE FASHION WEEKLY NOT a dull moment in the life of the fashionable scarf! Every act thriller! Consider first its color which is exotic, daring, beguiling and lamboyant, and the picture is not overpainted. As to its patterning the new-mode scarf keeps up with the face set for it by its coloring, in that artist designers thrust curves and angles of modernistic motif before the eye with all the fervor of Twentieth century enthusiasm. Color and design stage only two birds of the sensual drama as played by the scarf in fashion's realm today. The third act has to do with manner of wearing and it registers one climax after another of daring eccentricities and pleasing situations. It seems that squares and triangles end themselves best to unusual scarf treatments, which perhaps accounts or their pre-eminence in the mode. Nor does fashion stop at a single scarf of this type, prescribing some- SPRING MILLINERY THE MO NO ACCOMPANY the feminine trend in costume design, hats must likewise take on more "fuss and feathers" and beguiling details.

Very simple "when you know how." The idea is to tie only one corner of a large silk square about the throat, letting the major part stream down to one side in a series of graceful jabot-like cascades.

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. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of Section 6279.

(93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made (93 v. 114. 61. 4).

A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.) Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disperse such mob. (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 nor- thern 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: BS. ed. representative of victim of lynching. ry by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. just member of mob last 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: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-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 accommodation, advantages, fees, privileges, 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 hundreds dollars to the person aggrieved here. Sec. 12942. Perished 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 outcry 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. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter to the Beacon-Journal, of this city I will to send you, upon a separate cover, a letter from the Law lporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard B. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known that was going on in its own town, there would be no excuse for criticism editorially. THE LAW 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. ```markdown ``` "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report.
