It was not many months ago that the Chicago Defender, thru a "Negro" by the name of Brusseaux, of that city, styling himself a detective, was labeling indirectly if not directly Bishop Joshua H. Jones, his son, President Gilbert Jones of the University and Richard C. Bundy, superintendent of the state department here, as "crooks" etc., charging them with mis-use or permitting to be miss-identified directly or indirectly responsible. A week or so ago, Bundy and the Joneses had the editor of that paper here feting him and as a speaker at the formal opening of the new Home Economics building of the state department. Everybody here is still laughing at the brave trio and outsiders must be wondering if after all there was not something in those Brusseaux Defender charges. One thing sure and that is Bundy and the Joneses do not want Editor Abby to be involved in the situation and lost no time in trying to mollish him thru the medium of his stomach. They have lost status with the thoughtful of the faculties of both institutions—the University and the State Department.—If Mrs. R. C. Bundy is as wise as we think she is, she will continue her "teas" until all the teachers in the state department, at least, have been her guests.—Rev. Ervin and Miss Laura B. Smith, president and dean, respectively, of the University, have been her Tex. with four students of that college, were here, recently en route from the interracial conference at Columbus. — Vesper services were held, Sunday, at 3 p.m. President Henry C. Williams of Wilmington college, was the speaker. HITS MAYOR "JIMMIE"! Sons of Veterans Head Opposes His Section of Veterans in — The Trial, Not On.

Lee's great grandson to be his aid in the welcome to the German-Irish flyers, Mabie, as national commander of the Sons of Union Veterans, spoke at the order's annual memorial service at Grant's tomb in Riverside Drive as follows: "By parade the grandson of an arch traitor up the street dressed in the uniform of his grandfather with the insignia of the rebel states on the sword and the cash? We try to forget the war of the rebellion, but they still remember it in the south." Cohen Wins! New Orleans, La., May 2, '28. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Oklahoma, O. Friend Smith:—The court, today, refused the injunction of the "lily-whites", restraining the regular Republican state committee from functioning. Big victory!

DARROW PANS Ministers and Churches and Says They Barred Garrison, Phillips, Ingersoll, Parker and Pillsbury—American Hypocrisy! Washington, D. C.—The fact that our churches closed their doors to him, last week, did not estop Clarence Darrow, the great criminal lawyer (of Chicago) and friend of the race, from speaking here. And what a speech! as usual. Introduced by Prof. Neval H. Thomas, that intrepid race leader, Mr. Darrow waded in and the following is a goodly portion of what he said: Clarence Darrow. "Of course, I am aware that the preachers, who not only try to keep the people in midnight, but try to take them there, have raised some objections. That is all right. I do not blame them. They are getting a living. They do not want any money to get away from the church, and if the people are willing to follow them and let them put it over, it is none of my business. The colored people, as you know, are the only foreigners who came to America, who did not want to come. The people who came to America only have 100 per cent Americans. Everybody your people came because they wanted to. Your people came because they had to. They were captured, brought here practically in chains, suffering intense torture on the way, and kept in slavery for 300 years. If there is any class of people to whom the whites weed a debt of gratitude, it is the Negro; but it is a debt they never will pay. They have no inclination to pay it. After the proclamation of emancipation, you were not free. You are not free today, suffering intense torture for civil liberties, for independence, for the right to go and come as you please, for the right to get decent wages for decent services, for the right to better your conditions, that has only begun. You were told during the late war that the world was over. It is somewhat different, and fought. The only time Negroes had an equal and they generally put was in battle, and they generally put bought liberty bonds. You were told a great deal about liberty, about government's standing for freedom. I could understand how people could believe it, but I could not understand why colored men should believe it. You better know. You have been urged always, no matter how much you need your money, to give it to the churches. There have been many white people who have fought your battles in the past, William Lloyd Holmes, the first lady, Elliott Parker, Pillsbury, but they never got a church to speak in the churches were all on the other side. The battle from now on will probably have to be fought by the colored people. You will always have some friends among the whites, but not many. The improvement in education and in property has placed the colored people where they are to a degree fit to fight their own battles, and I am satisfied you will do it. I do not know that I care either, because the people who cannot hurt the fight for freedom are not hard to get. You are not going to get much help from whites. You have got to do it right here and for yourselves. It has got to be done on earth. It will not come from the clouds. You haven't got a chance to get it from the clouds." Thomas' Speaking Engagements Washington, D. C—Newal H. Thomas, president of the D. C. N. A. A. C. P. branch and a member of its national board of directors, addressed The Washington Open Forum at the Playhouse, Sunday afternoon, on "What the 'Novo' Deserves, Desires, and needs of His Country," large organization of progressive whites who invite our people to membership and to all meetings, Sunday, Prof. Thomas will address the N. A. A. C. P. branch, at Providence, R. I. on "The Kingship of Citizenship." Sunday, May 13, he will be in Cleveland to address a mass meeting for the local N. A. A. C. P. branch there. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IN THOMAS' HOUSING SUGGESTIONS HIS "MODEL HOMES" ONLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS. The Question Is Being Asked Daily, What's Underneath All This Latest "Housing Talk"—Looks Like Real Estate Schemers and Others "Have Something Up Their Sleeves"! Andrew J. Thomas, the New York apartment architect and housing expert, sketched before the City Council health and sanitation committee, last week Thursday afternoon, a picture of the homes that would supplant the broken-down houses in "The Roaring Third" police precinct, if Cleveland accepts his vision here. Thomas said, the people must supply their own leadership. Money will be needed, and it must come from people of large means, but not necessarily from philanthropists. "A group of bankers could get together to finance decent apartments," he said. "There was no difficulty in New York. If Fifth Ave. houses pay 4½ per cent, why should Seventh Ave., a poorer section, pay 6½? You will find many of this type in Cleveland who are willing to help themselves if they are given the chance." Which of course would effect but a very small portion of the residents of "The Roaring Third", these "Coolidge Good Times". Doings of the Race Dr. Wm. A. Byrd has been voted out of the pulpit of Lafayette Presbyterian church, Jersey City, N. J., effective, June 1.—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. Tuskegee Ala. N. & I. Institute's Easy for Wealthy Citizens "Decent apartments, to replace shacks, will be a good thing for the city, and therefore a good thing for the banks (and the real estate men). You have plenty of people in a city as large and wealthy as Cleveland who will see you through. You have far better chances of erecting decent apartments and for less money than New York. Thomas said, 'Your own building costs and suspect your building costs are cheap. Your city blocks are both longer and deeper, making possible the development of finer and larger courts and playgrounds. You can build on one block an apartment that will house 520 families in decency and comfort — more people than are now living in filth on five or six blocks. Scattered apartments, mendous fice hazard and put the city to enormous expense for policing. Even then you are not housing your people decently, and the children have no playground but the street. Housing isn't a matter of brick and mortar, but a matter of human life." Can't Help Poorest Thomas thought apartments in Cleveland similar to the Rockefeller project could be sold for much less than $14.50 a room a month, but he admitted that his proposal held no direct hope for the family too poor to pay even $20 a month rent. You can't do anything directly for the poor devils at the bottom of the heap, and there is no use trying," he said. "But you can help the middle working classes and educate them in home ownership. As they move into the city, they must hind them vacant rooms that now living in shacks can move into. The indirect influence of the new apartments is far reaching. The landlord across the street begins improving his property. Up and down the street the paint brush, the garden rake and the rubbish collector suddenly appear." "Sounds" nice, don't it? But it offers little or no hope to those who need most—the poorer ones in the city, who are needed and wanted—or nothing! They cannot move to Drexel Ave, where Councilman Gregg lives, or to E. 130th St, where Councilman George lives, or even to E. 40th St. "The Roaring Third's" boulevard "deN", where Councilman Tom Fleming lives. Read the editorial, "Thomas and Housing", on page 2. Mr. Thomas also said: "In the past, building has been in the hands of speculators, who tried to do the job not as well as possible but as cheaply as possible. But in the last analysis the money lending institutions, by figuring values in terms of cubic contents, have done more to promote the growth of slums than all the architects and speculators in the world." Councilman Louis Petrash, chairman of the committee on health and child welfare, he knew of one Cleveland block, most of the buildings on which have been condemned, and which he believes could be quickly cleared to make room for a building of the type described by Thomas. It appears that the committee is likely to turn to the Thomas idea since no other remedy has been suggested. The great drawback, however, is, the city has no authority to and cannot appropriate a single dollar to build apartments anywhere for people. It can, however, as we have said, condemn and tear down shacks and condemn any buildings that have the money and wish to do so. Let us watch, see and understand. Must Have $250. In concluding, Mr. Thomas said: "We are reaching the man who has about $250 to start a home and who will eventually will own that home. He eventually will own that home."

Senate Bill 2291, for the relief of certain seamen who are judgment creditors of the Black Star Line, ill-fated project of Marcus Garvey, was passed by the Senate, last week. Five Howard University instructors, charged with being too familiar with girl-students, are being investigated. Entirely too much of this sort of thing is being done by "ministers," too. Hon. Harry J. Capehart, of Charleston, W. Va., three times a member of the Legislature of that state, has just been appointed an assistant U. S. attorney for the southern district of W. Va.

DAWSON TO SUCCEED MADDEN Chicago, Ill.—Among the echoes of the April 10 primary is that of Congressman Madden's contest with Wm. H. Dawson for re-nomination in the first district. The district is composed of wards 1, 2 and 3 and its population is predominantly Afro-American. Some of our leaders demanded a congressman of the race to succeed Mr. Madden and put Dawson in the race. The vacancy on the Republican ticket, caused by Madden's recent death will be filled by the Republican countrymen from the three wards of the district some time before November. Some say that since Mr. Madden had not been given a certificate of nomination, it could not be issued in his name, and, following a recently established precedent, necessarily would go to Mr. Dawson.

Congressman Madden (deceased) had been such a good and effective friend of the race that we did not look with favor on the effort of some of our people of Chicago to displace him with a member of the race. He had grown to be one of the very strongest members of the U. S. House of Representatives, too. It is very different now, since Mr. Madden has "passed out". What makes Clarence Darrow's talks so interesting, popular and strong with the masses of people is the fact that he fearlessly tells so very many truths, oft-times homely ones, too that no other public speaker in the country ever dares to tell. Being an atheist, he could hardly expect to be permitted to make such a talk as he made in Washington, last week, in a church. He sure gave the ministers and churches a "panning". Some of them deserved all he said, and more! An editorial, on "Martin B. Madden", in The Cleveland Daily Press of a recent date, closed with the statement that our people of the first congressional district of Illinois "united in an effort" to defeat Congressman Madden's renomination for the thirteenth time and nominate an Afro-American, a Mr. Dawson; something they did not do. Some of our people of that district did support Mr. Dawson, the Congressman's Afro-American opponent, but most of them did not, because of Mr. Madden's splendid efforts, while in the Congress, in behalf of our people of Chicago, Illinois, and the country. Former state senator and assist- and law director of the city, Arthur H. Day, a World War veteran and senior member of the law firm of Day, Day and Hauschulz, is a candidate for the Republican nomination for county prosecutor with the backing of the local Republican organization and a number of independent Republican groups of voters. As a member of the Ohio Assembly and assistant law director of the city, Mr. Day maintained a friendly attitude toward our people which they will undoubtedly evidence an appreciation of in the coming primary fight. Of that, he can rest assured. WHAT'S WRONG? The Public Journal, of Philadelphia, Pa., has called attention to the splendid work of Prof. Neval H. Thomas, president of The D. C. N. A. A. C. P. branch, and severely criticized the executive officers of the national organization, headquarters in New York City, because of their failure to show him the consideration he is entitled to. The Gazette heartily agrees with The Journal. We have often wondered why the most outstanding, successful member of the N. A. A. C. P., not excluding its national officers, is so subordinated at its annual meetings to say nothing of the rest of the year. There is no member of the organization whose work for the race, during the past two years, measures up even in a small degree to that of Neval H. Thomas', and if there is an Afro-American who is entitled to the Spingarn medal it is Neval H. Thomas of Washington, D. C. Even the Crisis Magazine, organ of the N. A. A. C. P., ignores Thomas' great work for the race at the nation's capital to such an extent as to cause some of its thoughtful readers to wonder what is the cause. What have the high and fixed-salaried officials of the N. A. A. C. P., including Editor Wm. E. DuBois of the Crisis, to say of this? Are they apparently so fernist Neval H. Thomas? While we are asking questions, it might be well to ask why the national officers of the N. A. A. C. P. have not organized a branch of that organization in Harlem, that section of New York City where live more members of the race than in any other like-sized section of the country? Meantime, gentlemen, show Mr. Thomas the consideration in a public way he is entitled to, and by so doing greatly increase the interest of our people, the country over, in the work of the N. A. A. C. P. --- PRINCIPAL MOTON WRONG! There is just as strong feeling on the part of "Negroes" on intermarriage as on the part of white people, today. We are perfectly satisfied to live with ourselves, mingle with ourselves, and at the same time to have the co-operation and help of white people which we will return in the fullest measure.—Dr. Robert R. Moton in an address at the 60th anniversary of Hampton Va. Institute, last week. Dr. Moton is right in what he says about the strong feeling in both races against intermarriage, but it is wrong just the same, whether held by colored or white persons. He is also wrong and should stop, especially here in the North where it is very harmful, preaching that old, obsolete living "separate-as-the-fingers-of-the-hand" Booker T. Washington Atlanta, Ga.—speech-nonsense that Prof. Washington himself discarded many years before his death. In a speech in this city, last week, Dr. Moton, in referring to those of the two races here, spoke of the "co-operative effort of two extreme types of man" etc. We wish he would amplify that statement. As it stands, it is hardly definite enough, and if we sense it correctly he has made another statement that might well have never been made and which is not going to help his people in this section of the country. What's he trying to do, anyhow? THOMAS AND HOUSING. Andrew J. Thomas of New York City, apartment architect and housing expert, on his visit to this city, last week, made perfectly clear several things of prime interest to many of the residents of "The Roaring Third" as well as the rest of the city. He told the City Council Committee on health and sanitation, last week Thursday afternoon, that any new apartment erected in that section would NOT help "the family too poor to pay 20 dollars a month rent", and added, "you can't do anything directly for the poor devils at the bottom of the heap, and there is no use trying." Continuing he said "but you can help the middle-working classes." They do not need it, just at this time, or as a rule, because there are plenty of good rooms and houses for rent in that section of the city. Of course, "educating them in home ownership is always desirable," but "those now living in shacks" could not "move into" the "vacated rooms and houses" because of inability to pay the rental charge. It is too high now and in all probability would be too high then. As we said in the beginning we say now, there seems to be something underneath all this latest housing talk that has not reached the surface. There may be those who are interested in having the shacks pulled down in "The Roaring Third", by city authorities or others, so that they would be able to purchase the land cheaper and build money-making apartments. We shall see, if anything is ever done. BLOCTON, ALA., BREVITIES Mrs. Nettie Gray died, April 26. Buried in Bankers cemetery.—Mrs. Lucy Blackledge died, April 27. Buried in Caffey cemetery, Rev. J.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1928 DE PRIEST FOR CONGRESS Flowers Stops Loayza. To Succeed Congressman Martin Badden, Deceased—Backed by the Republican Organization, His Dear Friend Seems Assured. Chicago, Ill.—Oscar De Priest, former Chicago alderman, on Monday was selected to replace the late Congressman Martin B. Madden as the Republican nominee for representative in Congress from the first Illinois district. If elected, which politicians say seems certain, he will be our first congressman since 1901. The first congressional district, represented by the late "watchdog of the treasury" for twelve consecutive terms, is predominantly Afro-American in population, and Mr. Madden won his thirteenth nomination, his fourth in the district, and Mr. Dawson, a member of the race who was not unitedly supported by our voters of the district because of Mr. Madden's good work for the race while in Congress. Selection of De Priest was made by the Republican ward committeemen whose wards lie within the boundaries of the first congressional district on Chicago's south side. It was unanimous. Daniel Jackson, our committeeman for the third ward, recognized as a leader for Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson, presided. Daniel Serrittella, (white), president, and committeeman for the first ward, nominated De Priest. John Oberta (white), seconded the nomination. Mr. De Priest will be the first Afro-American congressman from this state. Illinois, the home of the martyr President, Abraham Lincoln. CONGRESSMAN BRAND ANSWERS! U. S. House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., May 1, 1928. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith:—Your editorial relative to the pension of Mrs. Ada M. Young has my attention. For your information I will say that $50 per month is as much as any widow of a Colonel in the U. S. regular army has ever been allowed as a pension, and Mrs. Young is receiving the time however an appeal has passed this year. Increase this pension to $100 per month and a precedent was made by the committee in allowing that amount which now has to go through the House and through the Senate. Enclosed you will please find my remarks before the committee. DAVIS. NO "QUITTER"! To those who ask if there is to be another "Davis" Charter-Amendment fight, we have this to say: Ex-Gov. Harry L. Davis's father was the Hon. Evan H. Davis, seatmate of the writer in the Ohio Legislature many years ago, and are Welsh-Americans, and no one ever accused England's war-premier, Lloyd George's group of "Englishmen" of ever being "quitters". Evan wasn't a quitter and his son has not developed any such distressing symptom to our knowledge, and we have known him well Last fall the alleged "Charter" majority over the "Davis" amendment was less than 6,500. April 24 it was about 2,500! Don't that show substantial progress and isn't there a world of encouragement in that fact? Can anyone find good reason for "quilting" in the face of that practically unavoidable goal? We think not! Certainly not Harry L. Davis. He's not built that way; or he could not be a son of our old colleague, the Hon. E. H. Davis, who never in all the years we knew him showed any such unfortunate symptom. Sure, there will be another "Davis Amendment" fight, and the next time the majority for it will be so strong, the wills will not be able to count even a 2,500 majority. And the people will win; the masses of the people in this community, we mean. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." Add enjoyment to your trip East or West, giving you a delightful break in your journey. C & B LINE STEAMERS Each Way Every Night Between Cleveland and Buffalo He Shows Business Ability. Flowers Stops Loayza. Detroit, Mich.—Bruce Flowers, lightweight champions contender, scored a technical knockout over Stanislaus Loayza, Chilean boxer, in the second of a ten-round bout here, last week Friday night. The New Rochelle (N. Y.) pugilist after being on the verge of a knockout himself in the opening round, cast science to winds and slugged to toe with his opponent, bled to the floor twice before his seconds tossed the towel into the ring as a token of defeat. Paulino Ranks Godfrey First. Paris, France.—Here is the ranking of "American pugilists" by Senor Pauno Uzudun of Spain. Godfrey, the best of all. He is a giant, hard-a athlete, quick, and hits hard. "Risko comes next. He is a good battler, hard and fast." "Sharkey is the best boxer, but he hits like a featherweight. "Delaney is too light and should be eliminated from heavyweight competition. "Heeney is very courageous and sympathetic." The Tigers Lost, Saturday. Regaining their one-run lead by scoring three runs in the eighth inning, the Cleveland Tigers defeated the Detroit Stars, Sunday afternoon, 10 to 9, in a see-saw battle at "Color-Line" Luna Park stadium. The Stars won the first game, Saturday afternoon. The Stars trounced the Tigers good and proper in both games of a double header, Tuesday, 14 to 9 and 7 to 4, to win the opening series of the season here. The teams left for Detroit where they will stage the Auto City inaugural, today. Saturday. The Tigers thus far have proved a sad disappointment, winning only one game of four. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED!

Mr. Dean served it for more than 30 years. Their host of friends in this community, among the number being The Old Reliable Gazette, greatly regrets their removal from the city and wishes them and their entire family continued good health and prosperity in their new home. An enthusiastic mixed audience filled the auditorium of the Women's City club, last week Friday night, to hear Courteen Cullen, the very promising young poet, give selected readings from his poems. The tall young man, with his wit and modesty of a young man, the very eloquent almost immediately. His readings were well selected and given with intense sympathy. "Heritage," of course, was read and brag the hearers up into the pagan beauty of its atmosphere. Cullen seemed to express through the medium of rhythm and intonation the pulsing beat of the native African drums. Perhaps most popular with the audience was the hearer a sly mor that caught their hearers unawares and left them gasping delightedly. These little poems, none of them longer than three or four lines, characterized aptly and ended with a fillip of gentle mockery. Much of the personal was introduced by Cullen into the brief spoken prefaces to his readings. Something of the young poet himself, his attitudes and his words, was heard from his words. Several of his racial poems were read in this connection. Cullen gave his readings under the auspices of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch. The wards of the city, 11, 12, 17 and 18, in which our voters are strongest in numbers did their duty (and more) to the Davis charter amendment, Tuesday, and our people of those sections of the city are to be congratulated! They were RIGHT, too. "Stand pat", brothers and sisters! We'll win, next time, sure. Persistent rumor, for several weeks, has it that when atty Alex H. Martin and Eugene R. Brown, in charge of the recent Willis campaign among our people in this city, went to Col. Carmi A. Thompson, general manager of the Willis campaign, on a certain occasion, they were curtly told by Mr. Thompson that "the colored people ought not to expect to take any part in the direction of the campaign, or even to suggest, because they had not contributed to its fund; that A. Lee Beaty of Cincinnati had contributed $500 to it and was the only member of the race in Ohio to do so." This, if true, undoubtedly explains Mr. Beaty's selection, by the Senator, as our Willis candidate for the delegate. It would also explain the deliberate effort made during the recent campaign to invest Afro-American voters of Ohio, particularly those of Cleveland, in the candidacy of the late lamented Frank B. Willis who mistakably showed signs of the inimical Thompson influence, along racial lines, during the last few weeks of his life. For several weeks, Mr. Brown, we understand, has insisted that Mr. Thompson said substantially what we have quoted in the foregoing. When asked his understanding of what Mr. Thompson said, Mr. Martin qualified and softened somewhat what Mr. Brown's statement said, and also claims that Mr. Thompson steadfastly refused to provide the local Afro-American Willis headquarters with stenographer and telephone service, all of which may in a large degree explain why our people throughout the state showed so little interest in the Willis campaign, closed on Tuesday last. Col. Thompson's management of the Senator's campaign, before and after the election, did not encourage our people thorough Ohio, his best friends, to become at all active in his behalf. This is greatly to be regretted. Cleveland is to have a stadium, it is said. If the city does not build one with the tax-payers' money, President Alva Bradley, and his associates, who own the Cleveland American League baseball club and plant, will do so, it is announced. Since organized baseball, with which the local team is identified, has its own player and there is such a large number of our people in this city, we fail to see the wisdom of asking the tax-payers of Cleveland to furnish the money to build a stadium. Indeed, we doubt very much, with our voters opposed to such a thing, that a bond bill, carrying several millions of dollars for such a purpose, would get the approval of a majority of the voters of this city, that a bond bill, busily engaged, these days, grooming Jewish players for several clubs, the Cleveland team included, in order to increase the number of Jewish patrons of the game, why not give the Afro-American ball-players the same chance, President Bradley? The editor of this paper remembers well the city water-tunnel disaster of many years ago. Garrett Morgan did take the leading part in the rescue. He led the effort. The mistake he made was in listening to "friends" of the other race in preference to members of his own race. They told him, so he told the writer at the time, that they would look at his interests and was taken away as a gift. They failed to keep their promises, of course. "Twas ever thus! Great publicity was given the few whites who assisted him in the rescue and Carnegie hero medals were awarded them. After all this was done, his white friends of the unkempt promises "investigated" only to be told "the case was closed," and has been closed ever since to Garrett. Thus was the door again closed in "Uncle Tom's face. Mayo Fessler, author of the book 'You'll not find any reference to the heroism of Mr. Morgan in the newspapers telling of the disaster." He is wrong, as scores of old citizens in this community can testify. Morgan was mentioned in the newspapers at the time but not given full credit, for what he did, by the daily newspapers of Cleveland because he was a "Negro" and because the white man who assisted him in the rescue work wanted to and did "hog all of the credit and honor for what was done. We have the right to be treated with an apology because we仗ted with Morgan to take steps to prevent it which he refused to do, as we have stated, on the advice of "white friends." W. J. Maloney, paving inspector, who was assistant superintendent at the crib at the time of the water-tunnel explosion, in his testimony recently before the City Council clearly betrayed, even at this late date, the jealous feeling that dominated the whites active in the rescue work. When Morgan Maloney: "If you went down (in the water-tunnel) you followed me," he told him the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and the writer knows it; well remembers it. The city of Cleveland owes "Uncle Tom" Morgan much and should pay him well even at this late date, Fessler, Maloney, and all of their kidney to the contrary notwithstanding. RACE PREJUDICE! "I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all! "I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world." A boy is running away from a car.

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, and 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 of our parks President Wilson has owned, the 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, 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 one, as commonly 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 account for their papers, is tenacious, held on to by our university President. Some months ago 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 Mollie and President He halls from New Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader 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 loss to the question why he demands his splendid 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 civil rights issues which has found its "welcome home" here and in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.) (Special to Washington D.C.—In the postpast, face a rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. 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 at the more when they suffer that they are far more liable 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 regression, and nothing more. 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 very presence of the colored, to the postoffice 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, and he ordered the postmaster to come to the white. These clerks got around their colored co-workers by giving the location 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. The colored clerks meet to form a union that meets regularly and 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 The Galveston.) 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 all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-section reserved for our employees. I am glad they may that few, very few, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotion to those as elsewhere in the inferior whites caste over 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, felt the injustice of the exhibition he看了, and he 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 night-employee. Hence he carried the police after the accident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By his severe punishment he was no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial of that, in order to continue the 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) (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 heroes young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble wife of Senator Robert La Follette who died in office after the accession of Mr. Wilson. The 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 un- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 5, 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! 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. THEY ARE SUBGEGATED in their test, their polish and their training, 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 deferred to 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 treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in the extremeity such as this country has never known, devised the national banking system which financed 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. Blain from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest demand of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scared that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no further. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilet, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience times, and are forced to travel long distances, when they desire the use of them. The apartment 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 the "delightful retreat," and the festive scene of their presence creates. It seats two and three diners with space to spare; but many 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." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the violation of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act, because they must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, to 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. Subscribe Now PRINTED LINENS AND PIQUES ARE MODISH MEDIA FOR THE ENSEMBLE i i SHE IS MAKING A CREPE TWIST BAG IN COLORS AS GAY AS HER BLOUSE H ENTHUSIAST for gay print fabrics runs high, and this applies as much to washable weaves as it does to silk, chiffons and other of the more formal weaves. Just now, women who set the fashion pace are taken with the idea of bright flowered or else modernistic printed linens and piques as media for sports ensembles. The novelty of these costumes is that even the coat or jacket is made out of the patterned material, the one-piece dress or blouse being sleeveless. This adoption of washable fabrics for the entire ensemble should prove quite inspirational to the woman who does her own sewing. The amateur who hesitates to cut into expensive cloth, realizing that she is not equal to giving it the tailored finesse essential to its proper appearance can with all confidence undertake the making of a simple washable linen like the one in the picture. And when completed, she has the satisfaction of knowing that her costume stands for the very essence of chic, as the mode looks upon it for spring and summer. For the costume shown here one of the new printed linens was selected SHE IS MAKING A IN COLORS AS HAVE you joined the ranks of the crepe-twist enthusiasts? Once become initiated into the workings of crepe-twist aircraft and you will be wanting to devote all your leisure moments to it. There's everything to encourage women to take up this fascinating needlework. It is, in the first place, easy of accomplishment, secondly, the materials are inexpensive, and last but not least, the reward for one's effort is great, for hand bags, belts, hats and even parasols embroidered or darned, more technically speaking, of crepe twist give a genuinely "classy" touch to the costume. The young woman in the picture had the right idea when she decided to make an envelope bag of crepe twist, which should take its color cue from the flamboyant hues in the modernistic print of her blouse. This youthful modern knows that one simply cannot be too colorful in dress this season. That is why she is wearing such a striking blouse whose patterning reminds one of none other than gay patchwork design. That is why, also, that she is so enthused with the thought of a crepe-twist bag py of The e who might its gorgeous flower design being silhouetted against a white background. The beauty of these fashionable linens is they look as if hand-blocked and for that matter many of them are, which gives them distinction. To accent the fact of color more fully, for color is undoubtedly the "big idea" this season, the designer has picked out the three leading shades in the floral print, which happen to be vivid rose, deep cream and bright blue, repeating them in the girdle and cuffs of belting ribbon. This tricolor effect is considered very smart, the idea being frequently carried out in borders for the jersey blouse or those of solid colored crepes and the like. An accompanying jacket or coat is almost indispensable to sportswear outfits this year, and as said before they are most novel when made of bizarre cotton or linen prints. Considerable variation is noted in the styling of the new washable prints. A deviation from the one piece sleeveless dress and jacket theme occurs, if the model include a blouse, skirt and jacket or coat. JULIA BOTTOMLEY (© 1928 Newport, Newport Union) CREPE TWIST BAG WAY AS HER BLOUSE and belt which shall measure up to the color vivacity of the silk of her blouse. Of course by this time you are asking in your mind, what is crepe twist anyway. Well, the surprising thing is that it is nothing more or less than crepe paper so remarkably processed and twisted that it is as sturdy as twine or yarn. One buys it at any counter where paper flower supplies are to be found. The stamped canvas foundations for bags and belts come in many lovely patterns. For the center of the embroidered flowers you will need a few colorful beads, unless you prefer to fill in with French knots. In covering the canvas in an over-and-over stitch be sure to embroider the leaves and flowers or conventionn pattern, if so be it, first—filling in the background later. After the needlework is completed a waxing process is necessary. This is done by brushing over with liquid transparent sealing wax. This gives not only a high finish, but it renders the article weather proof. JULIA BOTTOMLEY (©) 1928, Western Newspaper Union GAZETTE Subscribe af 3F 23-62 SAFETY FIRST. BETTER.

KEEP IN LINE TO AVOID CONGESTION Motorists Should Stop Wavering Courses on City Streets. Disorderly alignment of traffic on heavily traveled streets and the old fashioned regulation requiring drivers to pass on the left when overtaking vehicles are two of the factors responsible for the failure of most American cities to use their overcrowded streets to more than 75 per cent of capacity, according to studies made by the Albert Russel Erskine bureau for street traffic research. Move on Fixed Tracks. "If all vehicles moved on fixed tracks it would be possible to accommodate a much larger number on a given roadway," declares Miller McClintock, director of the bureau, which is endowed in Harvard university, "Part of the present confusion and danger on the streets result from the wavering course of vehicles. This in turn results in wasteful spacing and in collisions. This condition is especially acute on curves and at street intersections. On curves traffic has a tendency to follow the shortest course, while at intersections drivers often draw up in irregular lines when waiting for a traffic signal, and make it impossible for the maximum number of vehicles to approach the intersection or move through it in orderly alignment. Cut Across Curves. Part of the tendency to cut across curves has been eliminated by the widespread use of lines marking the center of the roadway. This principle can be further extended, however. In reports prepared by the Erskine bureau on intensive street traffic surveys made in Chicago, and more recently in San Francisco, it is recommended that the entire width of the roadway be divided into lanes on curves and at intersections. In the latter instance the lanes should be marked within 100 feet of the intersection. Lanes should not be less than 9 feet wide, and may be as much wider as required to obtain an equal division of the roadway. California Parks Set New Mark for Tourists All records for number of visitors in California's four national parks were broken in 1927 and the figures indicate that new records were established for all states. Compliances just made from government reports by the Automobile Club of Southern California touring bureau show that the four California national parks registered a total gain of 52 per cent last year. In 1926 there were 432,949 persons visited these parks, and in 1927 the total was 659,190, a gain of 226,250. The tremendous percentage of increase for California was brought about largely by Yosemite, which topped all others in popularity. The attendance there leaped from 274,200 in 1926 to 400,000 in 1927, a gain of 216,221. This remarkable increase is credited largely to the new all-year road which has served to stimulate travel into the park every month of the year. California's four parks registered a total of more than 23 per cent of all visitors in all parks during the year. The 19 national playgrounds showed 2,797,840 visitors, a considerable increase over the previous year. Best Headlights Need Inspection Every Month It is a mistake to assume that headlights are infallible. Even the best of them, subjected to hard driving over rough roads, will get out of adjustment and their beams be so directed that they are blinding to other drivers. Also they will fail to light the road properly. Headlights should be given periodic inspection. If the motorist tests them or has them tested once a month be may be reasonably certain they are in fair condition. Hard Starting Engine Trouble Laid to Plugs A slow starting engine, the bane of motorists, is frequently corrected by attention to the spark plugs, according to David Gregg, research engineer, who recites this interesting experience. "An automotive engineer visiting a laboratory complained that his car was hard to start in spite of a recent overhaul and adjustment. His spark plugs had only been in use for 12,000 miles and he said there was nothing wrong with them. "Using some laboratory equipment, the sparking voltage of the plugs was measured and found to be 9,700 volts, almost the limit of his spark coll. A new set of plugs was installed and the voltage required to fire them was only 4,000. The engine started with a snap and idled smoothly. "There is nothing mysterious about this action," Gregg explains. "Each one of the old plugs had produced more than 25,000,000 sparks and the electrical characteristics had slowly changed with increasing resistance and electrical leakage. This is why all spark plugs should be looked after at least once a year to get the best results."
