August 4 affair, also fell short
there being many empty
plates. The fact that white
men and women eagerly en-
tered upon the floor to dance
amongst the Negroes, each
evening, in spite of the effort
to keep them off, stamps as
false the statement that they
(whites) object to dancing be-
side or with our people, in
this city. 1t is this false pre-
mise assumed by prejudiced
managements that cause col
or-lines to be drawn in such
public places; and it is our
people who, with the law fav-
oring them, permit them to be
drawn day after day, and year
after. SHAME, o SHAME!

LUNA PARK AGAIN

LUNA PARK AGAIN
Out at Luna Park, nearly ev-
cry day in the year, our peo-
pie are refused the privileges
to skate, dance, bathe, ETC.,
freely accorded to the deni
zens Of the tenderloin, just so
they happen to be white"
who go out there and apply
for them. And yet there are
Negroes" who will attempt
to enrich the treasury of the
Luna Park management at
least once a year, usually in
August and September, by at
tracing a crowd of their own
kind to that place of amuse-
ment. What has become of
the Negroes manhood, self
respect, race pride and about
everything else, who will so
truckle to anything or any
body in an effort to make a
few tainted" dollars, for
themselves or anything Oh
anybody else in such a miser-
able way? That the alleged
emancipation celebration, y
on August 4th. and the pic

the financial successes antici :
pated, and the celebration"
last year, was failure, is due
to the fact that the great mass
of manly and womanly Afro
Americans of this community
refused TO attend them. The
few who did, went with apollo
gies on their lips, as a rule,
and explained that they we're
there because relatives, some
church or other organization
with which they were connect

some phase of the unfortunate
affair. Last year, led by the

the position The Gazette has

An Open Letter To
President Wilson

w ooAt =" AsSOHb
dent of the United States
Dear Mr.. President:
The National Association
for the advancement of Col
ored People, through its Board
Of Directors. respectfully pro-
tests against the policy of
your Administration in segre-
eating the colored employees
in the Departments at Wash
ington. 1t realizes that this
new and radical departure
has been recommended, and
is now being defended, on the
ground that by giving bureaus
or sections wholly to colored
employees that they are there
by rendered safer in posses
sion of their Offices and are
less likely to be busted or dis
eliminated against. We be
lieve this reasoning to be fall
lacious. Ii is based on fail
ure to appreciate the deeper
significance of the new policy;
i understand how far reach :
ing the effects Of such a draw
ing of caste lines by the Fed
eral Government may be, and
how humiliating it is to the
Men thus stigmatized.
Never before has the Fed
eral Government discrimin-
ated against its civilian EN-
ployees on the ground of col
or. Every such act heretofore
has been that Of an individual
State. The very presence of
the Capitol and of the FEEDER
al flag has drawn colored pco-
pie to the District Of Colum-
bia in the belief that living
there under the shadow Of the
National Government itself
they were safe from the per-
secution and discrimination
which follow them elsewhere
because Of their dark skins
Today they learn that, though
their ancestors have fought in
every war in behalf of the
United States, in the tiftieth
year after Gettysburg and
Emancipation, this Govern
ment, founded on the theory
of complete equality and free
dom for all citizens, has estab-
lished two classes among its
civilian employees. 1t has set
the colored apart as if mere
contact with them we're con
tamination. The efficiency
of their labor, the principles
of scientific management are
disregarded. the possibilities
of promotion if not now will
soon be severely limited. To
them is held out only the
= prospect of mere subordinate
routine service without the
stimulus Of advancement to
high office by merit, a right
deemedinvoilable for all white
natives as for the children Of
the foreign born. of Italians,
French and Russians, Jews
and Christians who are now

service. For to such limita-
tion this segregation will in
evitably lead. Who took the
trouble to ascertain what our
,colored clerks thought about
this order, to which their con-
sent was never asked2 Be-

Mt. Pisgah Church.

Last Sunday will not soon be
forgotten by the people who at
tended services at Mt. Pisgah
church in Anderson county.
The crowd was immense, the
spirit Of worship earnest, and
intense interest was manifested
from the beginning Of the wor~
ship to the close. There seemed
to be a pent up excitement hard
to control. 1t was evidently the
power of Gods Spirit upon the
congregation. After the sermon
the pastor baptized 28 into the
fellowship Of the church and 10
were added by letter, making a
total of 38. The ever increasing
congregation demands more
room, SO we believe the house
will have to be enlarged. If the
brethren take a notion to build
they are abundantly able to do
so. Our hearts rejoice greatly
to see this dear old church
which has been comparatively
asleep for some time, waking
up. May the good work go on
till every member will be found
at the front ready to do their
duty. II.
