When either Jim Begg or Myers Y. Cooper, or both can completely overwhelm Attorney General Turner, there are no signs of a great state-wide Republican bolt to the New York governor and the national Democratic ticket. Neither of these men is strong in his own right. Cooper was and is a political nonentity who has the price of a good run in the gubernatorial race. Begg is a step hard, run-o'stock politician, the purity of whose political allegiances invites anybody's suspicions. Both were fighting for the endorsement of the Anti-Saloon League, an organization which should be politically disinterested, this state if political conscience had really ridden down the tide of dry fanaticism. The strong run of both of these men indicates that the tide in the Republican Party which would turn into a powerful bolt for Smith, is not sweeping that way. Indications from that side are that great Republican blundering indeed, combined with Democratic miracles, will be required to make this a Smith state in November.—Editorial, Cleveland Daily Press. (Dem.) PAUL ROBESON ACCLAIMED! By the Leading London Newspapers—His Success in "Show Boat" Extraordinary, They Say—"His Glorious Voice." London, Eng.—Mr. Robeson, the Afro-American who is starring in "Show Boat", elicited the following from the critic for the London Dailly Sketch: "Paul Robeson performed the extraordinary feat of practically packing the stalls of Drury Lane at his recital of Negro spirituals yesterday afternoon. I hope that at his next recital every seat in the house will be filled for his singing is the most attractive thing in London at the present time. His rendering of the touching little convict song, 'Water Boy', of 'Deep River', and of 'Steal Away to Jesus' were absolutely faultless—perfect and consummate artistry. His glorious bass voice had an amazingly wide range and one always feels (as with anything perfectly done) that there is a reserve of strength behind it. And his charming presence on his bearings add to the appeal of his art. Awareness Brown accompanied with sympathy and occasionally lifted up his voice in chorus. It is likely to be hoped that Sir Alfred Butt may give us another afternoon like this. For a matinee audience the enthusiasm was remarkable." Similar critiques of the recital appeared in the Daily Herald, the Daily Mirror, the Daily News, the Star the Morning Post, Westminster Gazette, and many other leading London newspapers, opinion being unanimous concerning his superlative artistry, and the enthusiastic welcome which met Mr. Robeson's sneeing. "GOING SOME!" Kent, O.—In Congressman Martin L. Davey's home prescribes here 110 people voted in the Democratic primaries for Governor. Davey carried it 109 to 1. Today, Howard Cook admitted that he cast the one dissenting vote and that it was a mistake. He didn't know that he asked for his ballot after he had marked the first ballot. Davey carried his home town by 970 to 57 and his home county of Portage by 2227 to 186. REPORT ON LIBERIA BLAMES HOOVER. League Group Also Flays State Department for "Pressure". Geneva, Switzerland. — Secretary of Commerce Hoover and the State Department are jointly indicted in a report officially presented, recently, to the mandate commission of the League of Nations for forcing the little republic of Liberia to grant a HERBERT L. HOOVER concession establishing a commercial "closed door." It is charged that the program forced upon the republic will eventually result in confiscation of native-owned land and subsequent neoization of the former owners to American capitalists. Rubber concessions, granted the Firestone Co. of, Akron, O. U., S. A., and submitted by Henri Jupod, president of the International Society for the Protection of Natives. Conditions were brought to light through investigations of Raymond Buell, an American and a Harvard professor, who for more than a year has been making researches there. Buell asserts the acceptance of the terms of the loan made to the loan made only from pressure brought to bear by Hoover and the State Department. He asserted that at the commencement of the negotiations Liberians were opposed to the loan. The State Department's intervention brought about agreement. Liberia, according to Buell, was having trouble with France at the time the loan was first offered. The LiJ said it was given to believe that if it desired Washington's support against France in the matter, it had better accept the terms of the Firestone loan. NOT A VOTE FOR EITHER Last Precinct to Report Gives No Ballot to Begg or Cooper — Editor Smith Led. Columbus, O., Aug. 15—With Myers Y. Cooper and James T. Bengel in a neck-and-neck race for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, the last precinct in the state to report today on yesterday's primary—located in Hamilton, Cooper's home county—failed to give either man a single vote. Although the result was a tie, the result of having a plurality of 5,568, the last precinct totals affected neither, the vote being Kohler 17, Shanley 12. Smith 25, Turner 9. FAILS TO BACK HOOVER. Lorain, O.—The Cleveland-Columbus district conference of the A. M. E. Church closed here, last week Friday, without taking any action on the Eighteenth Amendment. The scheduled indorsement of Herbert L. Hoover for president also was passed up, the conference deciding not to take a stand on political matters since Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom had declared for Al Smith for President. White Reporters Beaten! Memphis, Tennessee—One reporter for the Memphis Evening Appeal was arrested and several others were "beaten up" at polling places in the recent state-wide primaries. They, with cameras, were sent to the polls by both the Evening Appeal and the Commercial Appeal to take pictures of Afro-Americans voting in the Democratic primary. The cameras of a number were smashed. This is the usual southern "tolerance." Read Law in Prison. Baltimore, Mr.-Geo. W. Davis, who has served fourteen years in Maryland penitentiary and in that time completed a course in law by mail, saved $1,800 and patented a gasoline motor invention, was given his freedom, last week, on a parole granted by Gov. Ritchie. Davis was sentenced to serve fifteen years for a holdup and shooting a policeman. SECOND IN 176. New York—Dr. Louis T. Wright physician and surgeon of this city, is now eligible for appointment as police surgeon of the city, having made second place, out of 176 applicants, with an average of 89.10 out of a possible 100 points in a test.

CIVILIZATION WILL REACH IT'S ZENITH WHEN THE COLORED RACES CONCEIVE THE NEED OF CONSECRATED LEADERSHIP Clear by the Speaker. Los Angeles, Calif.—"Civilization began with the brown races," declared Mr. Lew Head, former editor of a Pasadena daily, now living in Los Angeles, speaking at a mass meeting of the N. A. A. C. P., last month, "and civilization will reach its highest achievements when the brown races of the world have first, conceived the need of consecrated leadership; second, sponsored those leaders and third, through them emancipation of civilization on this earth. There is the Afro-Americans that either has not been discovered or, if discovered, has not been harnessed for practical use. The present civilization has about spent itself. Humanity is on the verge of a tremendous crisis. Just what direction the march of human progress is to take, is now back where it was when civilization started, waiting for responsible, intelligent and consecrated leadership. It is not beyond belief that over half of the world has been come this leadership. We are interested, I take it, in the facts and theories that crowd outworn major activities off the face of human experience and supplant them with BLOCTON, ALA., NOTES.

TRIPLE WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Among the interesting events of the season, and one of rare occurrence, was the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Taylor, of Wrightsville, Pa., at the home of their son, H. L. Taylor, 2204 E. 90th St. Tuesday evening, Aug. 14, '28. And Mrs. Taylor were married, Aug. 8, 1878, and have spent all of their life in Wrightsville. They are now residing in the home Mrs. Taylor has occupied for seventy years and he has been employed as a clerk at Heppenstall's grocery store, Wrightsville, for the past fifty years. This is the first vacation the couple have taken since their marriage. The very enjoyable social function of last week was also a third marriage anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Taylor and the thirty-fifth of Mrs. Taylor's sister, Mrs. Alexander Sims, of Maston, O. The home was beautifully decorated with gladiolus, zenlas and phlox. The three couples received in the living room. Mrs. Levi Taylor wore a gown of white French voile. Mrs. H. L. Taylor, her wedding gown of white flat crepe, and Mrs. Sims white crepe de chine. The other ladies were also beautifully gowned. A short program included Mr. Levi Taylor's solo, the Hon Harry C. Smith's address on "Marriage," Mr. Roy Rector's, on "The Home," and Mrs. Pearl Williams' splendid "Tribute to Our Parents." The speakers, eloquent at all times, surpassed former records. A delicious lunch was served. The out-of-door guests were Mr. and Mrs. Green of St. Louis. Our local Elkw club has contracted to bring the next annual Thanksgiving day football game of Wilberforce college vs. West Virginia institute to Cleveland, it was announced, Tuesday.

ALL REACH IT'S ZENITH O RACES CONCEIVE THE ERATED LEADERSHIP Head—What Is Necessary to This Is Made Perfectly new conceptions of government, social, moral and political. In this transition of a-minor into a major influence the colored races of the world have the opportunity to play the biggest or at least a very large part. As I see it, the preliminary equipment necessary to transform the latent power of the colored people of this and other nations into determining potency, arranges itself, and determines its role. "First, it is necessary that the colored races become minority conscious, and have a well defined and achievable purpose and competent leadership; second, that this minority be cohesive, organizable, well directed and willing to program without pestiferous quibbling; third, that its objectives be common to the mass, easily understood, and above all else, fair and reasonable; fourth, that action be united, constructive, intelligent and persistent; fifth, that progress always be under vigorous control, never financial." If the power of assented his belief that the power of achievement lies in our people and urged that a well defined basis be left for the next generation to espouse, and carry on toward the attainment of an advancing civilization.

Risko to Meet Wright. Omaha, Neb.—Johnny "Leatherman" Risko of Cleveland and "Bearcat" Wright, our local boxer, have been placed to box ten rounds here, Sept. 7. Thompson Thrills Fans. At Taylor bowl, Wednesday evening, it was Thompson's super-style ringmanship, his speed and power of punch, his magic footwork and all that caused the customers to gasp. He and Gene Cardi were routed for ten sessions. Thompson jabbed Cardi's left out of business in the first round. He shook the Philadelphia Italian with a brace of rights to the jaw near the end of the second. Cardi was floored for no count in the third, pounded into a bloody mess during the fourth and finished in the sixth. Thompson, almost pompous in his men of carrying himself, possibly figured he'd been humiliated beyond all reason when Cardi, spouting gore from eyes, ears, mouth and nose, did manage to score a couple of wild shots to the jaw in the fifth. At least, Young Jack came out there in the sixth to wind it up in a hurry. And he didn't miss. Fight experts have this to say of him: Jack Kearns—"Thompson is the next welterweight champion of the world. He has everything a great fighter needs. I've seen Gans, Walcott, Leonard and all the other greats but not one of them had a thing on his boy." Bil Gibson—"Joe Gans at his hip. I only saw a step ahead of Thompson now. Jack has a good chance to become better than Gans and Leonard, and thus be the greatest colored fighter of all time." Johnny Coulon. "Thompson is worth more than the $15,800 for which Kay Alva bought his contract. His ring generalship is that of the old school. Just watch him felt; not many of them know much about that art today. And how he punches." Richard H. Scott, age 72, 9114 Artha Md., an old and highly respected resident, died. Saturday evening, after a lingering illness of several years. A wife, Mrs. Cora Scott, survive him and have the heartfelt sympathy of the community. Funeral, Wednesday afternoon; interment in Highland Park cemetery. "Dick," as he was familiarly addressed by a host of friends and admirers, was an employee of the U.K. railway mail service for about twenty-five years, and for many years was a host of hands.

If either Hoover or Smith (AL.) were as outspoken in favor of the far more important Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution as they are in the case of the Eighteenth Amendment, we could feel differently toward both of them. We do not mean to say that either fully endorse the Eighteenth but that both assert their intention if elected President, to observe their oath of office to uphold the laws, etc. Neither make any reference whatever to the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendments. --- The N. A. A. C. P. local branch ought to investigate the recent shooting to death of an unidentified Afro-American at Woodland Ave. and E. 30th St., in "The Roaring Third", by Patrolman Yaro Hospodarsky. It does not seem "justifiable", as pronounced by Capt. Wm. McMasters of the Woodland-E. 37th St. precinct. The organization should also do something to stop the illegal colorline drawn on applicants for work in the local office of the State Employment bureau. It is an outrage that ought to be stopped instanter. --- We were certainly sorry that Mr. and Mrs. Harry Harper's letter, of last week Monday, arrived too late for publication in our issue of Aug. 11, (before the primaries). It contained a list of Smith-for-Governor local workers that should have appeared in that issue of the paper, for the encouragement it would undoubtedly have given many of our people throut the city and the state. Thanks, just the same, Mr. and Mrs. Harper. And thanks to all who did anything at all to forward our candidacy. Next time we will make a longer and far better canvass, now that our people throut Ohio, and especially here in Cleveland, seem to understand our candidacy so very much better than ever before. LET BEN AND PERRY GO! The Gazette wastes no sympathy on Ben Davis and Perry Howard because of the Hoover management fight to take the control of the Republican party in Georgia and Mississippi away from them (and turn it over to "illy-white" Republicans (?)) by not only discrediting them in the eyes of federal law but also by getting rid of them as members of the Republican National Committee. This, because as state leaders they were no good to our people but positively harmful, and very harmful, too. All they were apparently concerned about was furthering their own personal interests, in one way or another, and at any expense to their people. They sat in the National Committee meeting, when Kansas City was decided upon as the place for the national convention well knowing what that meant to all of our people who attended it. They offered no objection to the selection of Kansas City. To save their own "bacon", as delegates to the convention, they readily joined in with the Hoover control of the national committee to vote out all the other Afro-American delegates who came to Kansas City whose places Hoover "illy-white" wanted. And just as soon as the convention adjourned that same Hoover control turned against them and sent that woman assistant U. S. attorney-general to take them into the courts, as well as before the national committee, for the clearly evident purpose of discrediting them and getting rid of them as state political leaders. Meanwhile our people the country over must suffer the resultant opprobrium of the expose of their questionable acts as such. Are Ben and Perry, or the state leadership they abused, from a race not only a political viewpoint, worth our sympathy and concern? We think not! The sooner we are well rid of their kind of selfish, pseudo and harmful "race leaders", the better for all concerned, particularly our people. Don't waste any sympathy or words on Ben Davis and Perry Howard, these days. KILL THAT STADIUM Six bond issues, totaling $10,500,000, were assured a place on the November ballot, Tuesday, following their almost unanimous acceptance. Monday night, by city council. An issue of $2,500,000 to build a huge lakefront athletic stadium drew the objection of Councilman Walz, who questioned its worth in comparison with such issues as $2,500,000 for fireproof hospitals and beds and $2,000,000 for street openings. The absence of City Manager Hopkins delayed action until Aug. 31, on Mayor John D. Marshall's proposal to submit an additional $6,000,000 bond issue for straightening the Cuyahoga river, when $250,000 is enough to spend on it. The remaining bond issues approved by council were: street paving and sewers, $2,000,000; electric street lights, $300,000, and lakefront sewer extensions, $750,000. Councilman Walz, in opposing the stadium bonds, pointed out that since 1910 the city's bonded indebtedness has climbed from $28,000,000 to $138,000,000; that the stadium "never would pay for itself and would cost more than anticipated and would be a luxury, and that a city that can't afford a sanitary logical and intelligent garbage collection system ought to go a little slow" when it comes to issuing two and a half million of bonds for a lakefront stadium for the American Baseball League to use, a league that bats Afro-American ballplayers only. In the last year, the league has been signing up Jewish ball players. If you do not want your taxes or rent to go sky-high vote against the bonds or do not vote on them at all. If our three councilmen were "worth a rap" they would have had much to say on these bond issues, especially on the one for a lakefront stadium. During Will R. Hopkins' first four years as city manager of Cleveland its bonded indebtedness increased THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS! --- Good Students In Business Good Students in Business Walter S. Gifford, president of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., in an article in Harper's Magazine, tells of the experience of his company which for two years has been making a study of th relation of college scholarship to the success of the system, a thing which all business should do, he thinks, since at least half of the young men who graduate enter its ranks. The study reveals that in the Bell system men who were good students have done better than those who were not and that minds well trained in youth have the best chance to succeed in any business. The head of the world's greatest system of communication effectively answers with the company's record the question in the mind of many a young man, "Does business want scholars?" — Youngstown (O.) Vindicator. Do you know that Cleveland has more telephones in use than can be found in all of Italy or Belgium? There are more telephone subscribers in Columbus than in Mexico or Cuba. Toledo has ten times as many telephones as Greece and little Steubenville has more than Greece. New York has more telephones than Great Britain, Chicago has more than France. Omaha boasts a population of 223,000. The Russian empire, population 140,000,000, has only three times as many telephones as the Nebraska city. It does not add particularly to your enlightenment to remember these facts in detail, but they do combine to give you an intelligent notion of America's industrial supremacy. The telephone is a business-builder and a trade-getter. Pity the man who tells you apologetically that he has no 'phone but the neighbor upstairs owns one, "and he is so obliging."—Cleveland News. Of the more than 600,000 telephones connected to exchanges of The Ohio Bell Telephone Company at the beginning of 1928, about 126,000 were being served by dial equipment. The company estimates that at the end of 1932 more than 400,000 dial telephones, or half of the company's total at that time, will be in service. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1928 GOOD HINTS ON PREPARING CAR Mechanical Condition of Car Plays Big Part in Pleasure to Be Had. Motor touring, the summer pastime of millions, is pleasant directly in proportion to the manner in which the car performs, says a statement issued by national headquarters of the American Automobile association, which will serve a vast majority of the 44,000,000 who will take their annual vacations this year on the open road. "The close relationship between the pleasure of the tour and the condition of the car should suggest to every prospective tourist the wisdom of seeing that the car is performing at its best before the trip begins," says the statement. "The need is one that is ignored by many motorists until it is brought forcibly to their attention by mechanical trouble with its attendant expense and delay." More Heed to Details. In preparing the car for the much different conditions it will encounter on a touring trip, the owner need envision no great outlay of money for an exhaustive overhaul, says the statement. Rather, it points out, the process is one of paying a little more heed to the principal details that mark ordinarily good car care. Battery, generator, distributor, spark plugs, valves, carburetor, fuel feed system, clutch, transmission, differential, crankcase lubricant, oil filter, steering mechanism, brakes, tires, cooling system and wheel bearings are the units chiefly recommended by the A. A. A. emergency road service experts for attention on the eve of the tour. Summarizing the probable services that each will need, the statement says: "Battery—Remove corrosion from terminals and inspect connections to see that they have not been exten by the acid. Replace suspected connections. Coat terminals with vaseline or grease. Fill cells to recommended level with distilled water. Care of Generator "Generator—If device is not automatically controlled as to output, have charging rate reduced for the tour. It dimishes the load on the generator, while turning on the lights serves no other purpose than to keep the battery from becoming overcharged, which is not so likely as generally believed. "Distributor—Clean and adjust breaker points. Apply a thin film of grease to the cam. "Spark plugs—Clean and check points for condition and clearance. Replacement, if the plugs have seen a year's service, is generally advisable. "Valves—It will pay to have the valves ground if this has not been done for 7,500 miles, regardless of the gasoline one uses. Valves must seat properly for efficient engine performance. For the tour, it is not wise to adjust them too closely. This means quick valve deterioration and poor performance. Look sharply (or burned exhaust valves during the grinding process." --- AUTOMOBILE NOTES There are 27,350 motor vehicles registered in Berlin. Everything about the auto is less expensive except the friends you carry in the back seat. The pedestrian who loses himself in a brown study is likely to find himself in a white cot. --- This new bugle-call type of auto born tends to bring the pedestrian to military attention so the driver can hit him more squarely. The idea of arbitrating the matter always comes too late to be of any assistance to the man who has disputed the right of way with the locomotive. Hot Water Is Injurious Is hot water good for the surface of the car? It is not, according to American Motorist, which goes on to say: Hot water has a markedly deteriorating effect on the varnished surface of a well-finished automobile body. Tepid water is ideal, although cool water may be used without harm. After the car has been properly washed and wiped with chamois it is time well spent to go over it thoroughly with a high-grade automobile or piano polish. Use good grade cheesecloth and be sure to rub until the last trace of wet polish has been removed as a film of polish left on the surface of the car quickly collects a heavy coating of dust. MOTOR TRUCK'S LOAD-CARRYING ABILITY It is estimated that during 1928 probably from 25 per cent to 35 per cent of all motor trucks sold will be put on farms. This indicates the farmer's appreciation of the motor truck's load-carrying ability. Motor trucks are used to carry almost every conceivable agricultural commodity. They carry the farm products to town, they bring back groceries, feeds, fertilizers, equipment, etc., says the Illinois Farmer. They do this work rapidly and expeditionally in a fraction of the time that is required with other forms of power. The motor truck is an essential piece of farm operating equipment because it enables the farmer to do his work faster, do his hauling cheaper and to reach markets which heretofore have not been available to him. You Can't Stump Him Three Kinds of "Pests" Are Always Dangerous Are Always Dangerous Thomas R. Freebody, vice president of a western motor truck association, enumerates three kinds of automotive "pests" that to him and many others are obnoxious and dangerous on our streets. First, says Freebody, is the "showoff," who wants to let the world know he's driving a flashing roadster and has lost his manners in doing so. Second, there's the employed driver who wants to get to his destination in a hurry and has no consideration for others. His horn blowing is more to divert abuse to the injured party than to himself. Lastly, there is the nervous driver, who Freebody believes is most dangerous of all. He toots his horn at all times, whenever his imagination gets the worst of him. Coolness and restraint are essentials for good driving. Nervousness suggests a fear complex which, if pushed too far on the highway, may be taken up by others like a fast-spreading disease. A slight touch of the horn button is enough to let the fellow ahead know you want to pass. No end of blowing will get you ahead, however, if the traffic is heavy. The best that can be done when traffic is heavy is to ride along with it. Hornblowing is useless and troublesome. Weights and Pulleys to Open the Garage Doors When you come back from a drive it is a nuisance to have to get out, unlock and open the garage doors, climb back in the car, and drive in. A novel and ingenious way to arrange self opening garage doors, and details of construction are given in the illustration. Instead of stopping the car you reach out and pull the end of cord placed conveniently near the OPENET TABLE ATTACHMENT DAR IRON PULLEY AUTOMATIC DOOR LOOKING ARCH AND DOOR BRACKET VIEW OF INDEX OF GARAGE SHOWING DOOR-OPENING DEVICE (ON ONE DOOR) Arrangement of Weights and Pulleys to Open Garage Doors and the Release Latch Which Is Used to Put the Handy Device in Operation. driveway and some distance from the garage doors. The doors at once swing open and you continue into the garage. The secret lies in the peculiar leverage that translates the downward pull of two weights into effective opening pulls on the doors. Note that the point of attachment for the end of the cord is on the end of wooden frame so that as the door swings outward the point of attachment moves to let the weight go downward. The illustration shows the release latch which should, of course, be fitted to the door which has a bead to keep the other door closed.—Popular Science Monthly.

Edwards, age 27, of 2380 E. 37th St., was shot in the right heel, late last week Thursday, by Patrol- man Yaro Koudela of the “Roaring Third” precinct. Williams, accord- ing to police, had taken exception to his gousin, Wade Welsh’s order to keep away from the latter's home at 2324 E. 30th St, and had fired two shots into the front door and two into the living room ceiling. When police arrived Williams made a dash to escape and was climbing a rear board fence when Patrolman Koudela shot him.

A half century has brought about revolutionary changes which tend to make con- tact between individuals less inti- mate and more hurried. In meet- ing these present-day conditions, the telephone is used by practically all the people to save time and maintain contact with the business and social world, ‘The old saying that “it’s a small world after all” is being made a fact by the telephone. It annihi- lates the disadvantages of distance and time, to bring offices and peo- ple thousands of miles apart, to- gether. Our modern, high-speed business life is absolutely depend- ent on it. No other invention has done more to make this age of miractes possible.

How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice?—Protest, Protest! (Washington, D. C.—There is more segregation in Washington, today, than in President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of the segregation were under President Taft. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson had built, 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 census takers in this city in 1910; restricting white women to white work as 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 institution 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 by our Republican-colored woman. A colored girl appeared after having passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails to North Carolina, the 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 holdould declarations on democracy in operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and assoultely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chilc tenets of the Constitution, and found its "welcome home" here and in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. ((Special to The Gazette.) ((Special to The Gazette.)) Washington, D. C.—In the postoffice, segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a pausable color where they can buy 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, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the whites, for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The injustice stings all the more when they choose, that they regard 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 regression, and nothings other. 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 in the toilets. The very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant social evening with the officials for "the postoffice employees," yet not one was delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general to be the one to order 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 do union which meets reality and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals to him his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured an improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps with the government's unanticipated 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 the few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for employees I am glad to say that few, very few, the patronize the place, preferring little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public compilation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, as elsewhere, the boss over 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 spandid record in his work, left the injuries of this man in the employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of those smart Negroes" who believe in "social equality," and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried the police, and when aCIDident 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 this severe punishment our employees are taught that there no way to resist 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 or cases only to be met by a denial of access to the complaints 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 law of the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three herole young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble man named Marion (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 offer for her to be a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was up- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1928. House appeared at the bureau to on intimate terms at the White tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette, father of the present Senator of the same name, lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, marrying the same woman once and four times. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the N. A. A. C. P. in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out, one stormy afternoon, to the Y. M. C. A., to urge them to continue the fight, for democracy was at the crisis. Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack the White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the N. A. A. C. P. secured publicity by inducing the papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fullness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charleen 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, their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best homes, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even medicene talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of the inequitable way they are all hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, that is the extreme such as this country has ever known, devised the national banking term which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blair from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a Democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Netanyahu said that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our 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 toileters, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to wear masks to disguise 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 foothold of afternoons and evenings creates. It seats two thousand ers with space to spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group The registrieship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colonel who are congregated in a separate room, will be claimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the Negro community being so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, the Negro 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 DIESELMAN HARRISON THE HAT IT IS in children's clothes that doting mothers find their biggest and best chance to capitalize their talent in fine needlework. An investment of a bit of intriguing stitchery yields a wonderful rate of interest, in the way of prettiness and cunningness. One is impressed with the beauty and novelty of the fine handwork which embellishes the lovely dainty sheer frocks for little girls, which have been coming to us these days, from Paris. While of course the materials used in these imports are all that they should be in the finest sense of the word, yet it is at once obvious that it is the witchery of clever handwork which gives them distinction and lends to their enchantment. The novel and exquisite hand ornamentation which glorifies these lovely little frocks should prove inspirational to mothers who embroider and do drawnwork, also smocking and fagoting. Where fingers are willing, a yard or two or three of this or that fabric, be it ever so simple, can under the magic of a few artful and ornamentive stitches be transformed into a fetching creation which well might be the envy of any little girl who loves pretty clothes—and they all do. MATCHING ACCESSOR A WELL-DR ALONG with other "modern improvements" comes the theme of the ensemble. And It is the best of them all, seeing that it is working such miracles in the appearance of womankind. Now that the custom of buying hit and miss has passed into oblivion, the up-to-date woman is assembling her wardrobe with conscientious observance of the new style code which requires that the various articles of dress which go to make up a costume must match or at least be related to each other so as to blend into the picture. Milliners, shoemakers, fabric manufacturers, leather stylists and so on, and so on, are so taken with the idea that they have become, as it were, partners to every woman who is intent in carrying out fashion's decree, of matching everything to everything in her wardrobe. Think of having one's shoes, one's scarf, one's handbag all of the same material. It certainly is an alluring py of The aintance wh One of the newest forms of decoration relates to insets of contrasting fabric. For instance a pale pink volle may have squares of delicate blue inserted into its hemline. The novel part of these insets is that each square or diamond or disk, as the case may be, is elaborated with an embroidered floweret or quaint figures done in outline stitch. Tinted vollees are very popular this season, made up with cunning plaitings, flouces, hand-run tucks and in other interesting ways. A charming little frock of blue volle is shown in the picture. Plaiting is introduced in a novel way, the diagonal slant gives to the top of each group varying the usual straight all-around treatment. Wee flowers embroidered in realistic colors give a lovely effect. Of course this little frock is exceedingly short. It is the fashion to wear them that way.

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; This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beauty Law few years ago, the Akron, Beacon Journal, published an editorial to which the editor of The Gazette replied, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: Akron, O., April 25, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor, The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Bear Sir: Observing your letter, to M. Bear Journal, of this city, I venture to send you a separate cover, the Ohio Law Reporter of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism of THE LAW OF OHO IS UNDER THE PROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours, R. C. Grant. "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no desire in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper.
