"THE CEDAR'S" OPENING An Exceptionally Pleasing Event From Every Viewpoint Man- ager to Beautiful, Big Basket of Fowers— Show Excellent. The formal opening of the Cedar Theater, E. 76th St and Cedar Ave. Monday evening, under the management of Mr. Bob Davis proved a most auspicious event. The large auditorium was well-filled and the Ace-H Company, 30 people, featuring the well-known comedian, "Day in the life" of the perverse man and the hundreds of patrons there assembled. The singing and dancing of various members of the company was excellent and Nelson, his associate comedian, and other members of the company kept the house in an unproof of laughter almost continuously from the opening to the closing of the event. The company is one of the most pleasing events of the evening was the presentation by Miss Wella McLeod of a beautiful floral tribute to the popular manager of the theater. It was a very large basket of roses, carnations, tulips and lilies with fern trimmings. Miss McLeod is the we know her name, Miss McLeod is the woman with artistic design have won her most praise. Managed Bob Davis was at his best in his brief speech of acceptance. He sure has started the Cedar Theater on a new lease of life and made it a popular center of amusement for our people such as this community has long been in great need of a new theater. The conduct of the audience was most exemplary. No one need hesitate to patronize the Cedar Theater because as long as Bob Davis is its manager they can depend absolutely upon clean, wholesome and the best entertainment it is possible to secure from our leading shows in the country. If you have not seen the performance, do not miss the opportunity to do so, this afternoon or evening, and not only be highly edified but thoroughly pleased and satisfied.

C. — Secretary Herbert L. Hoover and our people suffered an unexpected and bitter fool-attack in the Senate, Tuesday, April 15, 2014, in senators, Cole L. Blease of South Carolina, and the notorious Catholic baiter, Thomas J. Hefflin of Alabama, both Democrats of course. After reading an alleged letter from "a girl secretary" in the Department of Commerce, protesting against an order of Mr. Hoover ordering emplios to work together and use the same facilities as heretofore, Blease shouted: PETER H. HERBERT L. HOOVER "There's been talk, these last few months, about the 'solid south' breaking. Well, Mr. Herbert Hoover of England, with his monocle, never will break the 'solid south' by putting 'Negroes' in with white women and girls. (They had always worked together until President Wilson, a southern Democrat, separated them. It's just such statues as this one, which shows a woman in a party a stench in the nostrils of the white people of the south." All of it is to the everlasting credit of the Republican party. Declaring that even Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator, had said he favored the white race occupying the dominant position (if it merited it) as long as the two races had to be mixed. He didn't play with this problem. Mr. Hoover! You are interfering with the work of the Almighty (Rats!) He decreed there should be a white race and a black race, a yellow race and a brown race. And you can't turn the black ones white by humiliating white girls." "Humiliating," is rich! Hoover's racial order will help him immensely below the Mason and Dixon line INDIANA KLAN'S RECORD Of Despicable Acts and Crimes Including Murders and Political Work—Jews and Catholics Suffer. Indianapolis, Ind.—The statement of Indiana's notorious klan leader, D C. Stephenson, now serving a life term in the Indiana penitentiary for the murder of a German-American young woman, said to have been beautiful, accuses the ku kluxers of a wide variety of despicience and violence, with promises of votes; how legislators were created to vote for klan measures; how Senator Fess of Ohio incurred the klan's displeasure by voting against the Sterling-Towner bill, intended to abolish parochial schools; how photographs of women scantily clothed were taken to implicate officials disobedient to the klan's commands; how wits at Niles Q, other places were promoted to increase interest and membership; how "the black mask" was the official insignia of klan membership on occasions of mob violence; how the purple-robed "battalion of death" served the klan by committing murders; how Catholic churches were plundered or burned in various states and now are being burned to the K K, K were flogged, or burned at the stake. He says nothing of the harm done our people. MORE ABOUT CURRY! Candidate for Delegate-at-Large on the Ohio Hoover Ticket Who opposed His Own People in the Springfield, Ohio, "Jim-Crow" School Fight. Springfield, O.—"Rev" E. W. B. Burry has not changed his "spots" the crowd (whites) that is backing Hoover, and had Curry placed on the ticket, is the same one that promoted the Fulton "jim-crow" school movement, H. S. Kissell, white, the leader, is the largest and most influential real-estate dealer here and is among those who have made it impossible for our people to rent or buy anywhere except in the segregated district. It is reported here that he is said to have favored Curry with aid and carried with Curry (and the K. K.) and had placed money with him during the school fight." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SO CHARACTERIZED BY THE LOCAL DAILY PRESS AND OTHERS. Councilman Gregg Reopens the Old "Housing Problem"—We Pay Most Rent—The City Can't Help— The Latest "Tempest in a Tea Pot"— Talk, Talk, Talk! The housing problem in "the roaring third" police preenct does not arise from a lack of places to "exist" in, because there are any number of rooms, houses, and stores in that area that have been built but does arise because of the dilapidated condition of so many places occupied not only by our people but also by Jews, Italians and members of other groups of people. Councilman E. J. Gregg should have made this fact clear, too, in his various interviews published in the local daily newspapers, the past week. He is also wrong when he claims a local "Negro" population of 90 thousand. There's just about half that number of our people of the section pay higher rent proportionately, for the worst living quarters in the city, than is paid by members of other groups in other sections of the city. This latest outcry, against "housing conditions" in "the roaring third" is but one of a number that have been made since the 1917 when the inflow from the south began. Many will remember the second time the local Welfare Association, six or seven years ago, and that of a Chamber of Commerce committee, last year. All in TALK just as the present one will, because the city is not in a position, from a legal or any other viewpoint, to afford the much-needed relief, in the shape of new houses to be rented at reasonable rates, and to refuse to the local philanthropists refuse to come for their housing. The newspaper publications have ceased—just as in the last ten years. Current rumor has it that Councilman Gregg has "something up his sleeve" which encouraged him to bring about this latest agitation over the bad housing conditions existing in "the roaring third." Elected as an independent Republican, he has joined the local Democratic organization and, it is said, has changed the newspaper publications in the civil palimoval movement. He would if possible get out from under the bodily resulting from his linking-up with the local Democrats, and curry favor with certain local city officials who are working the "underground-railroad-system" in an effort to promote a segregated hospital from "under cover." Be that as it may, the old housing agitation is but a "tempest in a tea-pot" that has blown over on the last ten years. Each of them was used for a purpose, personal and selfish. This we feel sure will prove to be true in the case of the present one. Joseph E. Beck, assistant to the general secretary of Associated Charities, reported, Monday, on a survey of rentals made by that organization in two districts of the city. In the Doan district of Associated Charities, bounded by the lake, Superior Ave., Addison Road and Ansel Rose Ave., all families are burying a $25.04 a month for their living quarters. In the Wilson district—bounded by E 30th St., E 55th St., Kingsbury Run and Cedar Ave., 367 families are paying an average of $27.43 a month. For 455 families in this district, of both races, the average is $26.83. Beck and other Associated Charities workers were called to testify before the City Commission to address with the sanitization, which met, Monday, to tackle the housing problem. Councilman Louis Petrash is chairman of the committee, which includes Dr. F. W. Walz, Dr. Gregg, Hugh Lavelle and Alex, DeMaioribus. The group met, yesterday, Friday at 2 p.m., with City Manager Hopkins, a representative of the Chamber of Commerce and Commission, Roosevelt assemble and receive information bearing on the much discussed and advertised housing situation here, ten years old. Plans were made at this meeting for another inspection tour through the congested district. At a future meeting, representatives of the Chamber, Associated Charities and the Anti-Tuberculosis League will be asked for suggestions. Hopkins believes housing improves in urban private capital, especially by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., can be emulated here.

CORDIN IN MEXICO Writes Interestingly of His Auto Trip from Los Angeles—Brothers from "Down Home" Segregating Themselves for Dimes. Ensenada, Mexico, (Lower California), April 3, '28. Dear Editor:... This town is about 100 miles of Tia Juana. I thought when I crossed the "rockies" that I had motored up and down some high places but these are much higher and more beautiful as they are covered with green foliage on every hand. About the only barren places are where boulders of white, black, and grey granite have been thrown up, years ago, by volcanoes and more beautiful as they are you think you are approaching a city. The roads are unsurpassed for gravel roads and are well-kept. They follow the shore. At many places you travel on a ledge and if you get out of the track (single), the next thing is the water about 300 feet below. As I travel I see the most beautiful birds, and quail are as beautiful as the birds they fly. I went east of Tia Juana, about 50 miles, and only saw four houses. At the fourth, I halted, as night was coming on. The sun was about down and all the family they don't see strangers, once a year. The road is not much traveled. It enters a California village by the name "Milly hill" and somewhat barren. About 9 miles from me welcome line. Senora (Mrs.) started cooking supper for me at once. After I had finished, the table it was reset, and the whole family sitting down to eat. This is the way they show their hospitality. I was told I could stay as long as my surprise it was reset, and the whole supper were baked on top of the stove. The dough is made into a ball and then rolled as if you were making pie crust. Then it is laid on the stove. You tear off a piece and hold it in folding manner as so as to scoup your beans or rice, using the bread as a fork or a spoon. No color-lines here, but at Tia Juana a few Negroes or themselves, thinking to make a few dimes thru self-segregation. But thanks to the better sense of the majority of those who come here, they are patronized by but very few. One other thing, when you see the Mexican soldiers pictured in the movies and elsewhere in rugged uniforms and poorly drilled, that is wrong. There is a large number of three companies here. Their uniforms are spick and span, the men have a soldiery bearing and the officers are neat and trim. In my next, I will tell you about Tia Juana and my three days' experience there. All visitors must be back over the border at 6 p. m., but I have a six months' special permit. They are not easy to get, either. Cordially yours, C. W. Cordlin. FEW GIVEN EMPLOYMENT By Chain Stores of All Kinds—As in Harlem So Elsewhere. New York City. — Less than a dozen of our workers are employed in any capacity by the 85 chain stores located in Harlem, New York city's biggest Afro-American district. The League for Equal Political and Civic Rights has made the survey. The stores do a monthly business of $100,000, mostly from our people. The include chiefly groceries, bakeries and tobacco stores. Daniel Reeves Co. has made one of its four colored clerks a store manager, which no other store chain has done. United Cigar Stores employ none of our people. Atlantic & Pacific has four Afro-American clerks but allows no advancement. Wages are very low and hours long. The workers have not joined the Retail Clerks' Union.

Thomas, president ‘of the Washington, D. C. branch of the N. A. A. C. P., is being arranged at the nation’s capital.

Democratic Senators Cole Blease of South Carolina and Tom Heflin of Alabama threw a “joint epileptic fit,” ‘Tuesday, in the U. S. senate as result of U, 8, Secretary of Com- merce Herbert L. Hoover's elituina- tion of segregation from his de- partment, It would not be so bad if the fit only hurt the senators. Un- fortunately there mouthings hurt our people, generally. Of course, that is Just what they want, but it is unfair and contemptible, just the ame. One would think that in- dividuals occupying the place in public life they do, even if they are from the south, would be ashamed to so deport themselves before the people of the country. Much of their talk Is positively silly. For instance, their hint that there was a possi- bility of Hoover, or any other Re- publican candidate for the presi- dency “breaking the solid south.” Equally as silly is their fool-talk about “Negroes working in the same room with white women and girls.” White girls, men and women of the south not only work in the same rooms with “Negro” servants but oft-times sleep with them. They do this in the nation’s capital, right under the noses of Blease and Hef- lin. Government employees, “Ne- groes and whites, are public ser vants, just as are Cole Blease and Tom Heflin, members of the U_ 8S. senate we regret to say. And It's Just such stunts as theirs of Tues- day that have made Blease and Heflin, damphool southern caste and prejudice, a “stench in the nostrils of the (decent) white people of the south” and the north. The white race (so-called) in this country will occupy “the dominant position” just as long as it proves its right to the game and not because of any differ- ence in color. The mixing of the two races, ia every way, will go steadily forward in this country, re- gardless of the Bleases, the Heflins and their kidney, just as it has gone on for hundreds of years throughout ‘southern Europe and South Amer- toa, And, this is “the work of the Almighty.” Black or white govern- ment employees, servants, who feel bumiliate¢ by being required to work in the same room, have only to resign and get out of the service to rid themselves of the alleged humiliation, and the sooner they do this the better for all concerned. The U. 8. senate is most assuredly no place for such narrow-minded and coarse blatherskites as Blease and Heflin, They are a disgrace to their states and the country. ‘THE GREGG OUTBURST. Councilman Gregg (Democrat) could have selected a much more ef- fective something to make “a grand- stand play” with, for “a comeback”, ‘than the old, obsolete “housing prob- lem” that has been literally talked to death in the last ten years. It isa subject that has simply been worn out with TALK. Do not be misled! ‘There will mot be any more done this time than was done on the several other previous occasions.

Jordan, president of & large motor car company. ‘Automobile clubs and various govern- mental agencies should get a large part of the credit for this because of the constructive work they are doing in the intelligent marking of our high ways, ‘Thousands of additional miles ot improved roads are being made avail- able each year. ‘They are not only laid more scientifically than ever be- fore, but they are properly drained and are banked at the curves. Easily Read Signs. Now we find clear, easily read signs that warn of cross roads, curves, nar- row bridges and steep hills as well as giving route numbers and general dl- rections. ‘The combination of good roads and intelligent marking ts largely respon. sible for the tremendous Increase in touring. In some communities there is still room for Improvement, but we have advanced tremendously tn the last ten years. Remove Speed Restrictions. ‘The next forward step, According to Jordan, is to remove speed restric- tions In the open country, making ar- rests only for reckless or careless driving. ‘This has already been done in cer- tain sections of the country and in those places, people can travel much more rapidly from city to city, with perfect safety. But with the steady, balanced cars of today, with four-wheel brakes, it ts Just as safe to drive 50 miles an hour ‘on our finely surfaced, well-marked roads as It was to drive the old-fash. foned cars at 30 to 35 under much more unfavorable road conditions. Automobile Tires Hold Up Under Much Pressure ‘That automobile tires will hold up under pressure many times greater than the pressure that will blow up an ordinary steam boiler was demon. strated in a most unique test by tire engineers, A pressure of 2.000 pounds was applied to an ordinary stock tre by means of hydraulie pumps without any damage to the tire, Water was pumped into the tlre through the vilve stem at a pressure of 2,000 pounds to the square inch. Hydraulic pressure was applied for the test in the absence of air pressure great enough to make the test.

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 war. The beginning of segregation under President Tatt. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson had bled, but the poorest administration has 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 1810, restricting white workers to 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 on our Republican home. Some unattractive 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 finally 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 Mallon and President Coolidge. His home from North Carolina is the home of 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 grand declarations on democracy in 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 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 federal clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for white 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 more active, so that 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 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 the club generates force 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. The white employees have even passed around invitations to the white employees, and to attend a reception to the heads of departmental, 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 to be the clerk who ordered the postmaster 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 jobs. The colored clerks have been told to form a union which meets regularly and some 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.) 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 environment being color 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 same course, having the same training, education, 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 employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the cafeteria or like physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public unification 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 to as elsewhere in the interior whites once the 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, left the job of the 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 when dismissing 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 falling 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 the case as immediately dismissed. By this time, unshaken 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 been met by a deaf 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 has caused 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 result of their protest, and the noble wife of President Woodrow Wilson (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 a bureau for women to race, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was up- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 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 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 neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the president of the 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 what was thought to be the intention of the warriors to originate 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 are the GSA, the 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 hopeless, the issue remains, straying 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) 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 Neck's scarce there that they can't be noticed because it is the same general complaint here is among our clerks and other employees is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize 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 toiletes, 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 travel long distances to desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent safeteria, 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 clever society creates their presence centers with space to spare; but not the 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 people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." This segregation war protest against this segregation war abolition of the division altogether; 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. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan whenever he decides to do so.

The GAZETTE right Subscribe af py of The e who might AT LAST the millinery pendulum swings back to straw. Not that straws have vanquished felts from the field, but they are certainly presenting a challenge, which promises active competition. It is a refreshing sight, this of seeing piquet little straws for spring, after so long a reign of felt, There's a thrill and newness about straws, too, in that they are manipulated as artfully as soft felt, That is, the multiple ways of twisting, overlapping and achieving absurd eccentricities with felt which millinery genius renders fascinating, art being repeated in the new straw renditions. There is every sort of straw to be reckoned with this season, special favor being expressed for balli-ount, sisol, bangkok, pullasson, many cellophane straws, crochet viscas and a whole list of fancies which include fine straws and course—the straw season is on! The group pictured gives some idea of the intriguing and varied manipulation of straw for milady's "Easter bonnet." The cloche at the top is a very fine China bangkok, trimmed with one of the new and very colorful embroidered straw and silk floss motifs. Just such exquisitely simple woolen ensembles as this Chanel model are the "classy" thing for spring. The creator of this distinctive ensemble adopts the favored cape theme, giving it a unique interpretation, in that the cape tops a short jacket rather than the usual full-length topcoat. The skirt is styled with two inverted box plaits which are stitched down as so many of the skirt plaitings are. The blouse worn with this tweed jacket and skirt is of Jersey matching the pale beige of the cloth. Unusual things are being done with soft woolens this season, especially with tweeds and loose weaves such as basket cloth. For instance, designers are employing the selvedge edge in a trimming way. Pockets, cuffs, scars and revers are finished with their own selvedge edge, rather than with bindings, facings and hems. Self-fringe trimming also smartens an attractive irregular-brim shape for the hat centered in the group. The spreading flowers are handmade of picot-edged taffeta, using velvet for the centers and for a binding about the folded off-the-face brim. A cunning manipulation of felt and pedaline straw produces the happy result in the hat shown to the right below the model just described. The leaf-like ornaments overlap a soft felt hood, the brim repeating the fine sewed straw. The last hat is distinctly a BES version of what's in small new straw shapes.

One can readily sense the charm of an ensemble styled of an open-mesh woolen in beige or pale gray or some pastel tint, the same finished in self-fringe or made "lacy" with much drawnwork. While beige and gray and the new grege tones are extremely popular, there are scores of navy suits and ensembles, too, on the spring program. These are often of wool crepe in alliance with polka dot print or perhaps with a blouse of poppy red crepe matched to the lining of the coat or cape as the case may be. Many of the newest ensembles flaunt full-length capes. As the cape theme unfolds it presents many variations. A feature to give versatility to the cape is the hemline which is often irregular and as erratic as that of the skirt hem. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

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 1894; the General Code of Ohio; Sect. 1919, Code of Ohio; 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 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 the person aggrieved thereby to be reefered 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. M. Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to suggest you 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, the Beacon-Journal had known what going on in its own town there would be no need for criticism editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO RE PROACH, 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. FOULEST BLOT." 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 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. —Cowper.
