The Afro-American must face the facts as they exist. We won't gain anything by fooling ourselves into thinking that everything is all right. Everything, affecting the lives of Afro-Americans, is all wrong.

This Was Called Out to Marcus Garvey in Royal Albert Hall in London, England, Recently, Says a N. Y. Newspaper. New York City. — Recently the Daily Herald-Tribune of this city contained an editorial from which the following is taken: "But jail is no defeat, and neither is deportation to the man of staunch vision. Garvey, as Moses would have done, was supposition to setbacks. He has met his Waterloo, however, only within a day or so at a much advertised mass meeting in London. True to his confidence in his mission, he chose the Royal Albert hall as the scene of his comeback. The Royal Albert hall can seat 10,000 persons, but barely 200 gathered to bear him. Even this did not damage him as he rose in his majesty to deliverance to the echoing emptiness of his amphitheater. 'Fellow citizens of the British Empire,' he began. But he had hardly got going before the shrill, beery voice of a lone cockey in the uppermost balcony broke in with 'E's barmy, 'e.' That was the end. He struggled on, but the old spirit was missing. He pounded the table and ate the cockey, the competition had fled. His ear for the first time seemed to catch in his comment the skepticism of the age and he was done. Poor Garvey!"

A Woman of the Race "Framed" Is Not Without Friends — The State Treasurer Leads Fight For Justice. Columbus, O.—Mrs. Hattie Gibbs, 615 Franklin Ave., was amazed recently when she received a notice to appear in municipal court for parking her machine without a taillight. The aged woman, a caterer, lost her automobile last April when it was seized by prohibition officers from her son, Bernard, age 65, using a machine without the knowledge of his mother for the transportation of liquor. With the notification to appear in court was a threat to bring her in a patrol wagon if she failed to answer the order. She went into court and explained the facts. The Hon. Bert B. Buckley, state treasurer, hearing the facts, investigated and found that the identical auto license plates issued to Mrs. Gibbs had been used by another person, although her car had been seized. The state official then offered to serve the aged woman as her legal counsel in an effort to see that she escaped from the toils of the city and federal officers. He secured a postponement to further gather facts in the case. Inquiries showed that the license plates issued to Mrs. Gibbs had since been used by a taxicab concern now out of business.

SMITH'S RELATION, AS A CANDIDATE, TO THEM. Editor George W. Harris Sounds the First Real Campaign Note Against What He Terms "The Myth of 'Al' Smith"-A Very Interesting Article Indeed! Now that the Republican party has drafted its platform and agreed upon its standard bearer in the coming Presidential campaign, work such as it has not done in a generation must be done by the "Grand Old Party" if it is to win in November. The world is in social ferment, China, Russia, France, Germany, England are leading in the revolt of the man in the street against aristocracy and embodies in the minds of too large a proportion of the masses their hope to destroy these evils in America. That they are mistaken in general, that they are deluded in particular, as to "Al" Smith does not matter. The laborer in the mills, factories and ditches, the clerks and artisans of the East, the farmers, mechanics and packers of the West and North are feeling in all too large a measure that the product of the "Sideside Work" is now in the hands of the people and knows the solution of those problems. Distance lends enchantment to those far away. They do not know that Gov. Smith is the purest political mountbank that our generation has seen. The "Al" Smith they idealize is a myth. They do not realize that he has not the courage of his convictions or that he has no convictions in the matters that concern them most. They do not realize that the window dressing of Tammany Hall, a ruthless, conscienceless, plundering political organization. They do not realize that under his regime in the state and that of Tammany in this city taxes are very oppressive and the poor people get neither service nor substantial comfort. They do not know that he is the doom of their hope for relief such as the masses the world over are seeking. The mass is the danger of the "Al" Smith they idealize in the publician party and to the nation. The masses do not need to know that he has been totally indifferent to the civic and industrial plight of his black fellow citizens.

Parks, American art and handicraft are holding the center of the stage at Howard as the traveling collection of the Harlem Museum of African Art went on exhibition at the institution, last week. Cautious criticism is being directed at Perry Howard, Mrs. George S. Williams, Ben. Davis and Mrs. Mary C. Booze, who seeing the trend of affairs in the Republican National Convention on the Hoover bandwagon forthwith and permitted their votes to aid in seating "illy whites" of Texas, Louisiana and Florida. Robert R. Church likewise joined the Hoover crowd and saved his political skin. Judge Ruhl in Court of Common Pleas, Tuesday, held that Mrs. Emma Owens, wife of Logan Owens, (deceased), whom he attempted to divorce by proceedings in our courts in 1917, was the wife at the time of his death because the divorce proceedings were void for lack of jurisdiction of Mrs. Owens, she being in 1917 a resident of Atlanta, Ga. Juriman C. Hudson was appointed administrator at the time of Mr. Owens' death and ignored the claims of Mrs. Emma Owens to be the widow of the deceased. Thereupon, Mrs. Owens went into the probate court and attacked the appointment of Hudson as administrator and had him removed because the law gives widow the first right to additions to the appointment removed him. Thereupon Hudson appealed to the common pleas court with the result that Judge Ruhl sustained Judge Addams. Alex H. Martin, attorney for Mrs. Owens, and Tom Fleming, attorney for Hudson.

Yet it is with the force of world social mass movement it is with the delimitation of the American masses, as to "Al" Smith, that the Republican party must now grapple.

Cincinnati, O.—A few days ago, about fifty pupils of a large mixed school, enroute home, gathered in a circle and with whoops and yells of encouragement, urged to renew efforts two combatants busily engaged in pummelling each other. Back and forth they struggled, pushed, pulled and struck each other. Pausing, we watched them. Ordinarily, juvenile prosecution both impudent and uninteresting, but this miniature gladiatorial event sounded the very depths of our being, for it was of a nature unknown to the many years of our experience. The fighters were two white girls about nine and ten years of age. The fatter, stouter one was pretty, and the favorite of the spectators. The other, "skinny" but game, was fighting a losing battle, as a probable result of hostile sentiment. In the crowd were several black boys and girls. They were all up in the front rank intellectually, taking an opral, suddenly the smaller the two embryo Amazons faltered, a black boy jumped forward, patted her on the back and yelled, "Go ahead, hit her in the jaw, skinny, I am with you." Encouraged, she rushed. A minute later the battle was over and the crowd cheering for her victory.—W. P. Dabney, editor "The Union." The N. B. L. I. Co. Can Do It.

That manhood is not entirely dead among Afro-American Republicans of Dixie was strikingly proven by the actions of Robert R. Church of Memphis before the Republican National Committee, hearing delegate contests at Kansas City, recently. For many months, the wealthy Tennesseean has been the target for the attacks of false white friends and treacherous black foes. Nevertheless, he manfully stood his ground under the charges of the disappointed office-seekers and was thoroly vindicated. The charges proved maliciously untrue. The contest which was aimed really at his leadership in "the Look-out Mountain state," was dismissed. THOMAS' WARNING. "The seating in the recent Republican National Convention of "lily-white" delegates from Louisiana and other, rebel states is a crime against the Afro-American which will be met with terrible reprisal at the polls in November when the northern Afro-American takes up his outraged brother's cause. No such surrender as the Republican doughfaces are making to the savage South will do aught but wreck the so-called Republican party," Neval H. Thomas, president of The N. A. A. C. P. branch at Washington, D. C., wired the Hon. Wm. H. Butler, chairman of the Republican National committee, last week, and he told him much truth, too. BRAZEN HYPOCRISY! Our delegates and visitors to the recent Republican National Convention at Kansas City ought never to have attended it. The Republican National committee's arrangements for the proper entertainment of delegates and visitors, for the first time in the history of the party did not include ours, with the result that they were excluded from about all the public places of entertainment in that city patronized by members of other groups or classes of American citizens. That Ben Davis and Perry Howard, our members of the National Committee, consented to the insulting and humiliating arrangements only aggravates and increases the intense feeling of disgust and resentment among our people, a very natural result. Add to this, the convention's seating of "illy-white" delegates (?) from the South and its seven or eight line reference to lynching only in its platform, and it will not take any one long to sense the intense feeling of the intelligent Afro-American voters everywhere in the North where they vote and their votes are counted. The party perfidy and brazen hypocrisy of the Republican National Committee's Kansas City arrangements, and the convention, are going to cost the Republican ticket many thousands of votes, this fall, that do not belong to the "darm element" either, and which the voteless Ben Davis and Perry Howard will never be able to rescue even if they are given more hundreds and thousands of dollars by campaign managers or members of the Republican national committee. What some selfish so-called "Negro leaders" won't do to curry political favor and benefit themselves, thereby is "not in the book" and is a heartrending obstacle in the path of race progress. WOODLAND HILLS BATHING POOL George A. Myers of the Hollden, this city, sent us recently an editorial from the Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer of June 5 and correspondence between himself and others, and Safety Director Edwin D. Barry relative to the protection of all who desire to avail themselves of the bathing and other facilities for pleasure in our parks and beaches. It seems that there was some trouble during a ball game at Woodland Hills Park, Sunday, May 6. Director Barry in his communication to Mr. Myers again assured all that arrangements had been completed which placed "a deputy inspector and the necessary number of men (policemen) in charge of the Woodland Hills bathing-pool and to keep them there until the pool closes, this fall. Park Director Newman and Safety Director Barry also promised the proper police protection in Woodland Hills Park on Sundays. Our people of Cleveland and vicinity should not fail to use all of the public parks, beaches and all other places of pleasure, recreation, amusement, etc., freely and at will. Assert your rights in public places in a proper way at all times. That is the only way to get and retain them. BARCUS BOLTS. Regardless of the fact that Ohio Afro-Americans have a candidate of their own for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio, Atty. Robert B. Barcus of Columbus is sending long letters to our voters of the state imploring them to vote for Edward C. Turner (white) of Columbus, present Attorney General of the state, who is also a candidate for the nomination. This man Barcus, a high official of our state K. P. organization, we understand was a leader in the movement which resulted in the leasing of the theater in our new K. P. temple or headquarters at Columbus to a white man who conducts a chain of "movie" theaters in that city from many if not most of which Columbus Afro-Americans are barred or otherwise discriminated against. If the foregoing be true, as communications from leading Afro-Americans of Columbus allege, Barcus is sure "running true to form" and is making perfectly clear why it is almost impossible for our people, these days, to make any material progress along political and several other lines, (in supporting Turner's candidacy.) Lord have mercy! There is not a single outstanding candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, this year. They are all very ordinary and it will be an easy matter for the more than two hundred thousand Afro-American voters in this state to nominate their candidate if two-thirds of them register and vote for him. "That is the situation in a nutshell." They can win if they want to! They can have this nomination if they will but do their clear duty to themselves and the race. The writer is again affording them the opportunity to do this and, too, with absolutely no monetary expense to them as herefore. Ohio brothers and sisters, it is up to you! So often the claim is made, that you do not have a chance. Here is your opportunity. Will you take advantage of it? BEATY AND COOPER. The Hon. A. Lee Beaty of Cincinnati, ex-member of the Ohio legislature and former assistant U. S. district attorney in southern Ohio, is one of the signers of Myers Y. Cooper's declaration of candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor. This fact has caused an endless amount of caustic criticism because it is a miserable insult to all of the loyal, self and race respecting Afro-Americans in the state of Ohio. Myers Y. Cooper, the Republican candidate for Governor two years ago, was defeated as a result of the refusal of thousands of our voters throughout the state to support his candidacy because of the insulting discrimination he thrusts upon our people of his city and county in business dealings. Beaty and Cooper live in Cincinnati. The former knows of the latter's color-line activity. Regardless of this, Beaty signed Cooper's declaration of candidacy, undoubtedly with a purpose obvious—to help Cooper get Afro-American votes. May God forgive him! Beaty, when a member of the Ohio legislature, introduced a bill to amend our Ohio Civil Rights law which, if enacted by the State Assembly, would have greatly weakened the law. Luckily the bill was never enacted. Why he ever introduced it, we have never learned. It was doubtless but a move similar to his recent signing of Cooper's declaration of candidacy. One of the greatest drawbacks to the progress of our people in community, state and nation is just such most reprehensible action upon the part of members of the race who pose as local, state or national leaders. Lord have mercy! TUBBY THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1928. Prime Sport News Four fast double plays engineered by the Slaughter Bros. class B nine aided in the defeat of the Augustine & Falsone outfit, 11 to 7, Sunday, at Edgewater Park. Although outfit by the Augustine sluggers, they tried to exploit the offensive manner. Wood's spectacular catch in the first inning, resulting in a double killing, was the fielding feature of the day. Godfrey-Bisko Bout The Gazette went to press, this week on Wednesday; so therefore is unable to announce the outcome of the George Godfrey-Johnny Risko contest in this issue as we hoped. We have confidence, however, in big George. Then, too, according to the article, he will be doing entirely too much bragging about what he was going to do *b*. George. Tigers Win. At Last. Tigers Win, At Last. With several new faces in the lineup, the Cleveland Tigers opposed the Birmingham in the final of a scheduled five-game series, last week Thursday afternoon. George Boggs, southpaw hurler, and Chester Blanchard, infielder, have been procured from the Dayton Marcos. Compton, Kansas City outfielder, and Bobo, St. Louis first baseman, also have been signed by the local club. All of the players were ready to play Sunday. Pete Willett's big bludgeon gave the Tigers a 6 to 5 victory over the Barons. A rally in the eighth inning that netted two runs won for the Tigers. Curry and Dean pitched good ball, allowing only one hit during the last four innings. Milton sacked a homer in the second. The Memphis Red Sox evened the second, Saturday, at Cleveland. Levy Stevens of the Tigers started off in five form, allowing only one hit for five innings. But in the sixth the Sox touched his offerings for three runs and added two in the seventh. A Tiger ninth inning rally was stifled when Bobo, new first sacker, grounded out with the bases full. After winning the first game from the Memphis Red Sox, 9 to 4, the Tigers dropped the second, 10 to 6, splitting the double header, Sunday afternoon. Dean hurled fine ball in the first setto, while Willet's home run with two on drove Glass, the Sox pitcher, from the mound. Curry went we for Cleveland up and the second innings limited by second fray, when he was replaced by Dean. Dean, however, was treated even more roughly, and the Red Sox sewed the game up with three doubles and a triple. Stevens finished the contest. Edwards "Track" Captain! NEWARK Education City—For the first time, history an Afro-American is track captain at N. Y. University. He is Philip Edwards. "Phil" and "King," two of our N. Y. City boys whose native home is British Guiana, are leaders in athletics and college activities. Philip is a great athlete. His reputation has really lagged behind his achievements. He is not only the track champion of N. Y. University, but holds the American 600 yard indoor championship and the Canadian records for both 600 yards and 1,000 yards. He elects a record—a record for recognition of the "minority races," for neither Jawor nor "Afro" has ever before been so honored in N. Y. University athletics. And whenever a "minority" man gets such an honor, believe us, he earns it. Both of these athletic brothers have the University "letter" now on their chest Edward King Edwards, Phil's brother, known among the boys as "King Edwards." recently third place in the 220 yard dash. The Mid-Atlantic team he had come in first in the "heats," but third in "finals." The boys are not only athletes but are honored in other college life. "King" is the treasurer of the "International Y. M. C. A." at the University. "Joe Walcott at 57." New York City.—From wetterweight champion of the world to a porter job in a local theatre—such has been the lot of Joe Walcott, "Barbadades Demon", who today, at 57, looks out from a plethora of troubles and tribulations, to view a world that once held him as an idol and paid tribute at his feet. Walcott, who came to this country from the West Indies, in 1893, rose from obscurity as a laborer to the pinnacle of pugilistic success when he knocked out "Rube" Fernan in 1881 and won the world's wetterweight crown. Physical and domestic troubles, combined with frequent visitations of less important troubles, have brought the old master down to an almost helpless state. More than a score and ten years ago, with Billy B. Van, the comedian, he joined a vaudeville act, "Sunny Days," headed by George Dixon, then featherweight champ, and made a tour of the country. Today, Van is worth millions, he holding the title of Mayor of Newport, N.H. numerous other positions, among which are duties as president of a large manufacturing company and director of a bank. Not long ago he saw his old "buddle". Walcott, here in New York, Yes, Lucy Will Get No Roses. and finding him among the army of unemployed secured the job for him at the Imperial Theatre. The show now playing at the Imperial, by a peculiar twist of fate, happens to be none other than "Sunny Days", and co-incident with its coming, came Van, in the godfather role. So at fifty-seven, Walcott, too, looks forward to more sunny days. Jones Kayoed Brown. "Gorilla" Jones of Akron just about right handed Pudgy Bobby Brown (white) to ruination at the Olympic Arena, last week Wednesday evening. And all in one round and part of another. There wasn't much left of the second heat when the Olympic team came up to him to his corner. Nor was there any too much left of Brown, either. An even half dozen times the welter from Massachusetts had been stretched on the canvas. Five times he'd risen—on his own power—but the sixth one "took." A technical knockout the record books will term it for Referee Matt Brock called it "Five five." The team was howling "Five!" But Bobby still would have been on his nose had Mr. Lavin been howling "Fifty-five!" That's the kind of a technical knockout it was. Brown had won a decision victory over Jones in the rip-roaring semi-windup of the final show of the Public Hall season. They were the second week Wednesday night they were in the top spot, and booked for ten. Jones scaled at 153½ pounds; Bobby's weight was 156¼. What Some Editors Say WHEN THE 'PHONE IS SILENT With the 'phone service of the entire countryside paralyzed ever since the fleet storm three weeks ago, we, and especially the rural folk, have come to realize how really indispensable the telephone is in every day life. They, no doubt, more than once have been impressed with the fact that the telephone has become a necessity as well as a convenience. Who can over-estimate the great service it renders a community or an individual? How many steps it saves in twenty-four hours. How much time is conserved through its ability to annihilate space. How much cheerfulness it brings to the lives of many who otherwise would be to some extent cut off from their fellow beings. How many times has it enabled the family doctor to defeat the grim reaper? How many dollars it has saved. In short, one can scarcely conceive of any department of human activity in which it does not serve a useful and a beneficial purpose. And yet, after the few days of novelty the telephone came to be accepted as one of the essential appurtenances of every household, just as is the doorknob, the window, the bedstead or any other article in general use. We rarely pause to think that it set civilization ahead 100 years in a space of four or five years and that it has become about as indispensable as one of our arms. To be sure, the telephone is not the only great modern convenience which we so lightly appreciate. It it happens to be one that has, for the moment, been snatched away from us. Assuredly under such circumstances one can appreciate something of its real value as a part of that complex system of human achievement that has brought civilization up to its present plane. If in doing so it causes us to pause and for the moment contemplate some of the marvels among which we live in daily, unconscious association, perhaps it may be worth the temporary inconvenience at which we rail—Tiffin (Ohio) Advertiser.

What would cause other people to gnash their teeth and gird their loins is question of debate for us. Kick us, beat us, pile depredations upon us, revile us, abuse us, lie about us, malign us and even impugn our valor and we are not unanimously insulted. It seems impossible to establish unanimity of insult in the black race.—Chicago (Ill.) Whip. --- IS IT ANY USE TO CONTEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of "always will be discriminated submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal civilization, submitting to social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and are not worthy of equal rights." The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionary, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Get No Roses. OH, DON'T BE SILLY! MR. WILSON IS NOT COMING HERE UNTIL SUNDAY AND IF HE WANTS TO BRING ME ANY FLOWERS.

Mrs. Mabel L. Imes of E. 126th St., a member of the original Fisk Jubilee Singers whose voice is still "a gem of the first water," was an outstanding feature of the recent style show entertainment at St. James' A. M. E. church. She was hired in a hoop-costume of 1848. Her singing is always more than a treat. Miss Gretchen McRae, of Washington, D. C., stopped in Cleveland, the first of the week, to visit her brother-in-law and sister, Atty. and C. C. Cunningham, O. B. Sr. Miss McRae is en route to Los Angeles, Calif., a delegate to the N. A.

Williams, E. 55th St., was elected president of the Ohio Association of Elks at Youngstown, Tuesday, at the close of the sixth annual convention there. Other officers elected were: Charles Gray of Cleveland, first vice-pres.; Joseph Bobson, Youngstown, second; Harry Harper, Canton, third; R. Ballard, Elyria, treas, and E. D. Dillard, Springfield, sec. City Manager Wm. R. Hopkins, last week Thursday, "let the cat out of the bag" when he disclosed that completion of two major improvements already committed will take at least a million dollars more than is now available for the work. These disclosures came under a verbal barrage from the Council's Finance Committee. The Gazette warned the people of this sort of thing, from the city manager, before last fall's election and also again, before this spring's election. And the foregoing is by no means all. As a matter of fact, it is only the beginning. The tragedy of Mr. and Mrs. August Benson, E. 700th St., when their four children burned to death in a fire, last week Wednesday, made Monday a day of mourning as the children were buried in Harvard Grove cemetery. Funeral services were held at Wills' funeral parliars, Rev. Boston J. Prince, pastor of the church, and Mrs. A. Contributors to a burial fund for the children were announced by Wm. K. Connors, as follows: Mrs. B. F. Hopkins, Mrs. Kibly McLeod, Mrs. Anna L. Ray, Mrs. Agnes Harris, Mr. and Mrs. C. George, Mrs. Harry E. Davis, Mrs. Emma Ramsey, St. Mark's Presbyterian church, East End Republican club, Utility Club charity, American Woodmen Camp 10, Carnation Social club, Household No. 5319, St. Paul's A. M. E. Shiloh and Tried-stone Baptist churches, Cleveland Tallow Co., National Casket Co. and the Columbus Coffin Co. The parents are being cared for by the Associated Charities. Mrs. Frances S. Allen, former resident of this city and wife of Rev. A. E. Allen, pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church, at Canton, heads Jones A. M.-E. Chapel's special financial drive, now on, for mortgage indebtedness. Special features of the campaign will be announced from time to time. Each Sunday, from 4 to 5 p.m., there will be a special presentation of the materials rendered by some of our best local talent. Last Sunday, Mrs. Elmer Boyd, president of our Women's Federation of clubs, was the principal speaker and local solos were rendered by Mr. Wm. Askew and Mrs. M. Bush, instrumental solos by Mrs. Cora Sims and Miss Grace Brown, readings by Mrs. S. Johnson and Miss F. Geter, and a selection by a girl's trio. On June 24, Councilman George will be the speaker and selections will be rendered by a male chorus will be performed by Rev. S. McMillan pastor. Mrs. Allen was the dinner-guest of Mrs. Maggie Bartul, Wednesday evening. Rev. and Mrs. McMillan returned, Saturday, from a visit in Atlanta. Our representative at the Citizens' league dinner, Tuesday, in Hotel Cleveland ball-room, for veteran city employees of twenty-five years or more, and there were twenty-eight of them, was Charles S. Smith, now secretary of the police department, and he was a worthy representative, too, a credit to the race and the city allke. It was about thirty years ago that Mayor Robert E. McKisson appointed on the J. F. Chaffin, now a retired (pension) list, both members of the race, for the editor of The Gazette, and they have rendered such service throut their careers as police officers of this city as would make anyone proud of HOWD'YA KNOW THEY'RE COMIN' THEN? I DROPPED MY KNIFE 'N' FORK THIS MORNING' THAT MEANS COMPANY'S COMIN'!- them, especially the writer. For many years "Charlie", as he is familiarly and generally addressed, was first stenographer, then secretary to the various chiefs of police. It was Mayor Fred Kohler who made the first announcement and fire departments, and it was Chief Frank Smith (retired) who secured Mr. Smith his first raise in salary. There have been other raises since, if memory serves us correctly. All merited. Until his retirement because of ill-health, "Big" John Chafin, as he was generally known, was too one of the best-liked and most popular officers in the Cleveland police department. We are proud of them and justly so we feel all will agree. The accustomed Central Ave.-E. 55th St. parades, in Cleveland, by our lodges, have been on for several Sundays and hard-earned and much-needed money is being spent for them with a liberality and an utter abandon that all but staggers our efforts. We know that there is an absolute disregard of the "Coolidge" hard-times that have had the masses of the people, and especially our people, in its grip for over three years. If there is a class of people in this country that is in dire need of instruction along economic lines it is our people. Many of them have absolutely no concern for the needs of the people, come again bringing with it the suffering for the necessities of life one would think had long ago taught them the much-needed lesson. Our ministers have a duty to perform, along this line of activity, all seem to ignore, for you never hear of them urging the members of their congregations to save, to prepare for their future, and to be far more economical in their living. Teach them how to live, as well as urging them to prepare to die, is a sadly neglected duty of our ministry and press. BUSINESS A BIG USER OF "LONG DISTANCE" Business The long-distance telephone service that people are learning to use in talking to their friends and families at distant points already is taken as a routine aid to business men. According to the Youngstown Telegram, many companies in that city are almost constantly talking to New York, Chicago and even more remote points. It is all in a day's work to them and they regard it as money saved—"and it is," says the Telegram. J. P. Keene, president of the Youngstown Boiler & Tank Co., is a good example of a busy executive who does real things by telephone. Not so long ago he talked an hour and a half to a distant southwest point. He landed an order for $450,000 worth of business. Executives already realize what casual users of the telephone are gradually learning—that a full interchange of opinion is what counts in business meetings, and that can be achieved as easily in a telephone conversation as in a visit entailing hours of travel and heavy expense. The transatlantic service, although lacking the pleasure of a trip to Europe, also is filling a great need. Shortly after the service to Paris was started recently, managers of the Halle Bros. & Co. department store in Cleveland called their Paris buyer and discussed matters that could have been handled otherwise only by a trip in person, requiring two weeks, or an interchange of correspondence. This chronicle shows some fast work on the part of Mrs. Harry Vale, chief operator at the Sebring (Ohio) telephone exchange, and telephone men of that section. 12:18 P.

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 Clinton than under since the Civil War. The beginnings of the segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, under President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. President Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the censurers in this city, which wrote to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of all, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a 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 to our Republican President. South Carolina, colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails from the office of the Negro 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 a loss to understand why he does not run such special departments of democracy to 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 Ku Klux Klan which has been the most active in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice, segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings, the more 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 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 toilets, of the colored 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 arrived to invite 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 mail. The colored clerks have dared to join union which meets reality and often sends many and intelligent protests to the bureaucrat, and often appeals to him his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured 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 GMA) Washington, The Government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and most 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 case in this huge structure in all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables out-of-the-way located for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions to those as elsewhere in the interior whites case on our 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 spasmid record his work, elicited the injury of this exquisite employee so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumpet upbeat voice. He came to dance he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and substituted one for carrying concealed weapons such as a knife. This incident partially missed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of them, and have been met by a daunt that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name!! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a manifestation of eight government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.-Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble African American woman who died (deceased). Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a member of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for the segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was up- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 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! OHIO'S MOB VIOLI OR ANTI-LYNCHING LAW LEADS 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 room, and she had bled into the national gathering of the N. A. A. C. P. in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out, one stormy afternoon, to the Y. M. C. A., to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crisis. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack the White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the N. A. A. C. P. secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked out the battle, and the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and workstations, and of course there over threat of forcible诱惑 to executive offices. 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, and we are an order to shrew this iniquitous influence in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, was a national extremity such as this country has never known, devised the nation's highest tem which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. 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 department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they can't be noticed. There is the same complaint here among our clerks and employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure 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 endure physical inconvenience at long distances and are forced to travel long distances to dislike the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who, take advantage of this "delightful" retreat," and the clever soothsayer presences. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not 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 owned by white man, and the colored people have managed a separate room which is public, claimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the division altogether; so they remain in the office, 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 Obama could stop every bit of this segregation, just as he can condemn lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan whenever he decides to do so.

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: Sec. 1219.104 which behold 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 municipality, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be 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 five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to the record of the 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 manufacturied story for the passage of the Beaty bill a majorlage the Akron Beacon Journal published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you, under a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter, the last commenting opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism editorially. THE LAW OHIO is UNDER NO PROHIBITION, nor our office is administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. ```markdown ``` 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.

He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such VERY NEAT AND VERY SMART ARE TAILORED LINENS FOR CHILDREN 1920s THE NEW YORKER MUCH enthusiasm is expressed for linen this season. Both the sheer handkerchief quality and the heavier grades are sponsored. Of course, it is the latter which fashionists are using for playtime frocks. Youngsters are looking very smart and very tailored and very neat in linens cut along simplest one-piece lines as shown in the picture. Clever little dresses, on the order of this one, showing a touch of handwork so as to individualize them, are the "last word" from Paris. They need not necessarily be of linen, although linen is first choice, for cotton poplin, wash broadcloth and plique are also highly regarded. The linen frock illustrated emphasizes its claim to up-to-date style in that its unique zigzag seams, are fagoted as you see. There is a perfect craze for fagoting this season. Everybody's doing it. And it's being lavished on grownups' clothes as well as children's. It shows off its prettiest on solid-colored voles, sheer linens and such, also in connection with the dressier chiffons and geogartjes. Now that fagoting is so popular, mothers who make their children's clothes need not be in a quandary as to how to finish seams and hems, the answer is —fagot them. Do this either with self-colored or contrasting thread. Perfectly charming are this season's linen ensemble costumes for little girls. A favorite model is a plait skirt. TUCKS ACHIEVE C FOR PRACTICA TUCKS have departed from "the straight and narrow path." There is no accounting for their whims. They ramble all over one's frock and likewise one's coat, in patternings which testify to the skill and ingenuity of the modern stylist. Tucks are apt to strike off in any direction, horizontally, vertically, diagonally, in circles, not unlikely in a "loop-the-loop" performance, or perhaps follow a course like rays from a setting sum. It all depends upon the caprice of the designer, who, this season is making it a point to use tucks in a trimming way. It adds greatly to the interest of the theme that tucks are so trickly treated. Then, too, the vogue for self-trim encourages the use of deft fabric manipulation, such as tucks so readily afford. It pleased the creator of the attractive frocks in the picture to run tuck After Read subscribe after with a sweed on at the waistline sleeveless blouse top. This may be of any tone, gray, buff, white or colors. The jacket, also of linen, to be worn with it, is made either of gay print or of some contrasting color. Many interesting trimmings decorate these heavier linens. There is rickrack braid, for instance, it is being cunningly worked into flowers and motifs which are then appliqued to the linen. Soutache braiding on pique or heavy linen is used quite a little. Appliques are particularly favored. These appear in every shape and form, although it would seem as if geometric designs predominate. Designers of children's apparel are taking every advantage of color and design that youth will allow. The brightest laquer shades are combined, such as a green coat over a yellow frock, or perhaps a flowered cretonne jacket with a rose or French blue dress. The younger generation will also wear much navy with red this summer. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1928, Western Newspaper Union.)
