CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1906. SOLDIERS! Those Ordered'Discharged Without Honor' Also Medals of Honor and Certificates of Merit for Gallant Conduct—Shed Tears—An Expert Opinion. Taft Backs Down! Washington, D. C.—Secretary Taft Wednesday announced that he had ordered the immediate execution of the presidential order dismissing the three companies at Brownsville, Tex. This action was taken, he said, as soon as he returned to Washington and learned that President Roosevelt had declared he would not reconsider the case. A telegram was received from the president after Taft's statement was given, in which Roosevelt declines to suspend the discharge unless there are new facts of such importance as to warrant cabling him. He states that the action was taken after deliberation, and that the only matter to which he can pay heed is the presentation of facts showing the original report to be in whole or in part untrue, or clearly exculpating some individual. There will be no further change in the situation until Roosevelt's return on Monday, if there is any then. New York City—The following is the opinion of a military expert, published in the local Evening Post, one of the best daily newspapers in the country: The mustering out with dishonorable discharges of the Twenty-fifth infantry, because of the failure of the men to "peach" on those of their comrades who took part in the scandalous shooting-up of Brownsville, Tex., will further injure Mr. Roosevelt's prestige and standing with the army. Throughout the service, we believe, this breaking of contract with honorably enlisted men, who have served many years—will be received with mingled distrust and alarm. If the president can punish more than 100 innocent men in order to reach 25 or 50 guilty ones, what may he not do next? Hitherto the American soldier has known that if he behaved himself the government would keep its faith with him and retire him after 30 years of faithful service. They can be sure of this no longer. Some of the non-commissioned officers now turned out of the army have not only served 40 years, but are about 60 years of age. What must be defended by the awards the president and the service? No. Hitherto will be in sympathy with this arbtrary and unjust procedure, wholly out of proportion to the offence—the failure to "blab." Moreover, the president has adopted the wrong method. When a mob of soldiers of the Fourth cavalry lynched a murderer in Walla Walla, President Harrison had Col. Compton tried and punished for neglect of duty. Maj. C. W. Penrose and his company commanders of the Twenty-fifth infantry should have been tried immediately after the Brownsville affair. They must have known that their men were excited over the attacks upon them, and were likely to make reprisals. Yet their men not only got out of hand and killed the officers, but were successful in getting back to the post after their escapade, uncaught. If no liability attaches to officers whose troops behave thus, then it is questionable whether they have any responsibility whatever towards their men. It certainly presents Col. Compton's punishment in a very unpleasant light. As for the Negro troops, the president's action leaves them defenseless in southern communities. An infant officer of high rank who was for many years a company commander in one of the col. commanders of the Army, Post this summer that he had avoided any more service with colored regiments, because he could not stand the drain upon his sympathies which were constantly made by the ill-treatment his men had to endure, which was only intensified, apparently, by the fact that they wore the uniform of Uncle Sam. As for the pending investigation of Col. William L. Pitcher, Twenty-seventh infantry, for reflecting upon the colored troops in a published interview, that will, if it occurs, be only a slight palliative. If Col. Pitcher should deny the interview, as Gen. F. D. Baldwin denied his speech derogatory to the colored troops after a banquet in Denver, Col. Pitcher will probably go scot free, likewise. His reputation may, however, be against him, for he has been in hot water several times, and is not the kind of man who should command a United States infantry regiment. On returning from Cuba, a few years ago, he spoke of Cubans and Chinese in derogatory terms, in a public interview; later on he was threatened with a breach of promise suit by a young woman, and he was at one time severely criticised in Manila for his conduct of operations in Samar. Received Medals of Honor Washington, D. C.-Since the order of discharge of Companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth infantry by President Roosevelt, friends of the soldiers have looked up their army records. The records show that a number of GAZETTE. them have been given either medals of honor or certificates of merit for conspicuous gallantry. The following cases of Afro-American soldiers being rewarded for bravery are from the official records: Thompkins, William H., sergeant, Company H, Twenty-fifth infantry—For distinguished gallantry at Tayabacua, Cuba, where, after a force had succeeded in landing and had been compelled to withdraw to the boats, leaving a number of killed and wounded ashore, he voluntarily went ashore the face of the enemy and aided in the rescue of the enemy, who otherwise would have fallen into the hands of the enemy. This after several previous attempts had been frustrated, June 30, 1988, while serving as private, Troop G, Tenth cavalry, Gray, Conny, private, Company H, Twenty-fifth infantry—For special gallantry displayed by him at El Caney, Cuba, July 1, 1898, in fearlessly exposing himself under a heavy fire, applying a first-aid bandage and carrying his wounded captain, a considerable distance to shelter, and then rejoining his company, participating in the action to its close, while serving as a private, Company D, Twenty-fourth infantry, Parker, Jesse E, private, first class, Hospital Corps—For brave and faithful conduct in assisting a wounded officer to a place of safety while exposed to severe fire, Santiago, Cuba, July 1, 1898; while serving as artificer, Company D, Twenty-fourth infantry. Shed Tears When Disarmed El Reno, Okla.—Charles Dade, an old soldier of company D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, as he turned in his rifle at Fort Reno on the 11th, after the general order to disarm had been made by Maj. Charles W. Penrose, said: "All right, sir, all right, sir, Lieut. Higgins, here it is." Dade handled the rifle carressingly as he passed it over to the officer. He turned his face to hide the tears which were falling from his eyes upon the shining barrel of the gun. "I just can't help it," he muttered apologetically to a comrade as he turned away. "I've been in the service 22 years and it's hard to give up a gun that's almost like my own knifols." It is a painful sight to see the old veterans, many of whom have been in the service more than 20 years, being disarmed. It is an outrage! Dozens shed tears as they watched their arms being packed in the gun cases and sealed. The disarmed troops have had battalion drill without arms ever since the 12th. On the 19th, after 25 had been "discharged without honor," paid off and given transportation to their homes, and the six men charged with the murder of one man (white) and with wounding another (the chief of police), under arrest at Brownville's been liberated by the authorities at a telegraphic order from the secretary of war to suspend action, pending further notice. It had been the intention to continue the discharge of the men in squads of 25 or 30 each day until the three companies should have been dispersed. The order, however, did not come as a complete surprise. Military men all over the country who have watched the extent of public feeling in regard to the discharge orders, have believed that the war department would delay the carrying out of the project until a further investigation was made. In Secretary Taft's recent trip of inspection of the military posts in the south, it is understood that Gen. W. S. McCasky, the head of the Department of Texas, was deputy commander of the unit, quinted with the history of the entire affair at Brownville, giving him important material facts which had up to that date been withheld from the president or those likely to place them be fore him. THAT TEXAS RIOT AGAIN. If there was nothing suggesting the sublime in the president's ill considered order mustering out an entire battalion of colored infantry, because some of the men had engaged in a murderous riot, there is something distinctly ridiculous in the explanation of that order volunteered on Monday by the assistant secretary of war, Gen. Oliver. The latter avers that the public is wrong, in spite of the inspector's report, that the battalion was punished for some in a conspiracy of silence to shield the guilty. He insists that the real reason was the fact that the three companies were discharged because "they had shown themselves to be dangerous." "discipline bad to be main JUDGE-ELECT F. L. BARNETT. Judge-Elect of the Municipal Court, of Chicago—Assistant State's Attorney for Years—Old Newspa. The above is an excellent portrait of Attorney Ferdinand L. Barnett, recently elected one of the nine or ten judges of the municipal court of Chicago, Ill. Mr. Barnett is an old newspaperman, having owned and edited the Chicago Conservator for many years, in bygone days. He is 50 years of age and has been assistant state's attorney (assistant county prosecutor) tained," and "nothing else could be done." This solemn official assurance that three little companies stationed in a remote corner of Texas had become dangerous, to anything more sacred or important than the military reputations of their officers, will seem sheer nonsense to those who remember similar cases, which immediately ceased to be "dangerous" the instant the war department began to enforce discipline, the relaxing of which alone made the disturbances possible. Nor in such cases in the past has it ever occurred to anyone that "nothing else could be done." As a matter of fact, something else, and the only proper thing, has been done in such instances, has been done according to law and the necessary requisitions, and has proved effective. Nobody but Assistant Secretary Oliver has ever seen anything "dangerous," even to discipline, in these infrequent brawls or murderous riots in garrison towns. In the largest sense, the chief offense in this Texas case lay in permitting it to occur in the first place, after repeated warnings showing the ugly disposition of both soldiers and citizens; and the crying shame of it is that the officers whose negligence or incapacity alone made it possible have not yet been brought to account for it; while any step in that direction must now seem like an afterthought, a belated attempt to correct an initial blunder. The report that the president has reconsidered his hasty action in complying with the sound common sense and well known love of fair play may yet suggest that such a precipitate course was, in fact, less an exemplary assertion of authority than a virtual confession of impotence.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. CALLED A HALT! CALLED A HALT! In the Discharge of Our Soldiers—Taft, Stewart, Terrell and Ohio Afro-Americans. New York City.—A cablegram from President Roosevelt declining to suspend his order discharging the three companies of the Twenty-fifth regiment unless the facts as shown to him are shown to be false, but expressing his willingness to hear new facts bearing on that case was made public Tuesday by Attorney Gilchrist Stewart, of the Constitutional League, who cabled to President Roosevelt at Ancon, Panama, as follows: "Republican county committee unanimously denounced discharge of colored soldiers. Parsons, Opcott, Renault, committee positioning department. Newspapers emphatic. Developments and new facts warrant. Ask immediate suspension of order." The president's reply contained the following: "Unless facts as known to me are shown to be false the order will under no circumstances be revoked, and I shall not for one moment consider suspending it on a simple allegation that there are new facts until these new facts are laid before me. Inform any persons having new facts to have them in shape to lay before me at once on my return, and I will then consider whether or not any further action by me is called for." Taft Asks Reconsideration Washington, D. C.—Secretary Taft's telegraphic order of Tuesday to suspend further discharge of the Afro-American soldiers at Fort Reno, Oklahoma, until the president's return to Washington, D. C., on Monday, came as the result of the protest of 50,000 Ohio Afro-American voters and of Mrs. Mollie Church Terrell's visit to him on Saturday, and was coincident with a cablegram sent by him to the presi- for Cook county (Chicago) for ten years, making one of the best records in his particular line of work ever known to the office. Mr. Barnett has been married, present wife has Mrs. Mason (R. Wells), only other Afro-American judge the north has known was Judge Ruffin, of Boston, appointed many years ago by Gen. then Gov. Ben Butler, Justice of the pence, Robert H. Terrell, of Washington, D. C. is often incorrectly referred to and styled "Judge" Terrell. dent asking if a reconsideration of the order of discharge might not be had, Mrs. Terrell represented the Constitutional League of New York City. It is no secret that Judge Taft hopes to persuade the president to modify his order to discharge "without honor." This prevents reenrollment in army or navy or refuge in a soldiers' home, etc. The president added an order that these men should not be employed in the civil branch of the government. Legally he had no power to exclude them from employment under the order, and that he will not hold longer than the president in office to compel its obedience. Secretary Taft wants this inhibition removed and the men given an honorable discharge, or something near it. They ought not to be discharged or even punished because those who killed the man and wounded the chief of police, did so in defending their own lives after standing all sorts of abuse and mistreatment for weeks. Let the truth on both sides be told President Roosevelt. Any kind of discharge in this case is too severe punishment, because Afro-American soldiers make military service their life work. Two of the men threatened with discharge because Afro-American soldiers the Santiago campaign "in Cuba, where troops at least once saved Col. Roosevelt and his "Rough Riders" from being annihilated. Our non-commissioned officers in the three companies at Fort Reno have three-year service stripes fully covering their sleeves. HON. LUCIAN H. PALMER, The First Afro-American to be Electe a Member of the Wisconsin Legislature—Will Make a Credit- able Representative. We give above an excellent portrait of a gentleman who was the republican candidate for the lower house of the assembly in the Sixth district of Wisconsin. Mr. Palmer has been a resident of Milwaukee for 23 years. He is a native of Alabama, born at Huntsville, March 12, 1855. His father, who was a Cumberland Methodist church minister, died when Lucian was seven years of age. The boy was then taken to Nashville, Tenn., where he attended the public schools and graduated from Walden university in 1876. Since his residence in Milwaukee he has several times held temples, a library, an office and is held in high government all classes of people because of his ability, intelligence and integrity. Mr. Palmer's triumphant election to the legislature affords great satisfaction to all of our people of his state. "SIMPLY ON FIRE." "SIMPLY ON FIRE." Are Our Ministers and People as a Result of That Soldier Order. Washington, D. C. — Resentment against the extraordinary action of president Roosevelt in dismissing three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry for their failure to reveal of fenders in the Brownsville, Tex. riots, is cropping up in all directions. The most serious note was struck on the 15th at Salisbury, N. C., when a movement was started to have the U. S. supreme court review the action of the president. This, it is argued, would not be any more unprecedented than the dismissal of the soldiery. Republican leaders privately agree that some action should be taken to soften the order in view of the tremendous importance of our vote. The New York republican county committee, at its regular monthly meeting last week, Thursday evening, resolved to ask the president to rescind his order. The action tending toward a supreme court review was taken at a meeting of one of our Baptist associations which represents a constituency of 160,000 persons! The resolutions ask for the court review and then continue: "No one for a moment believes that these companies would have been dishonorably discharged if they had been composed of white soldiers. If extreme measures had been necessary this present time of tension between the races and of fear, foreboding, uncertainty, unrest and heartaches on the part of the colored people was the most unpropitious that could have been found. "Ten Million Estranged." "The chief executive of a great nation has estranged ten millions of his heretofore ardent admirers and supporters and it is the voice of this convention that a committee be appointed to confer with similar committees throughout the country to take the steps necessary to have the action of the president reviewed by the highest tribunal of the land." The National Afro-American council will aid in the U. S. supreme court effort and the Constitutional League of New York City is seconding the effort to induce the president to rescind or modify his outrageous order; Ministers Score: Roosevelt New York City.—In our churches here Sunday sermons were preached attacking President Roosevelt for disbanding the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry and ordering that the soldiers of these companies be discharged "without honor." At the Mt. Olivet Baptist church, of which Rev. Dr. M. Gilbert is pastor, the following resolutions were adopted after his sermon: Resolved, That the action of the president of the United States is most heartily disapproved because of the president, that he hitherto have cherished for him. Resolved, That it is our conviction that the order of the president should be rescinded. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be given to the press for publication and that copies be sent to the president and war department. Dr. F. M. Jacobs, pastor of Memorial A. M. E. church, said: "I don't believe that the president of the United States should be held up to the scorn of the world, but this action on his part is a thrust at the race and seems like yielding on his part to the south. Roosevelt in certain quarters for popularity in certain quarters for the gallant, self-sacrificing black soldiers, some of whom are responsible for Roosevelt being alive to-day. This action on his part has done us more harm than if he had dined with a thousand Booker T. Washington." CANCELED TILLMAN DATE. Cleveland Teachers Break Southerner's Engagement to Lecture in Their Course. "Pitchfork" Ben Tillman has been given a rude jolt by Cleveland school teachers and as a result the fire eater of the southland will not lecture in this city on Dec. 19 as scheduled in the teachers' lecture course. Solomon Welmer, assistant principal of Central high school, said yesterday that Tillman's engagement had been canceled and that another lecturer will appear in his place. "We thought under the circumstances," said Mr. Welmer yesterday, "that we would be doing a wise thing in cancelling the lecture altogether in view of the attitude assumed by some of the colored people of Cleveland. We have no desire to do anything which would conflict with their wishes." The lecturer teake Tillman's place will be F. W. Gunsaule, of Chicago, who will appear Tuesday evening, Dec. 11, instead of Dec. 19, which was the date announced for Tillman's appearance here—Cleveland Plain Dealer, Nov. 16. Our Choice 1908. With this issue "The Brotherhood" presents its choice for the presidency. We nail to the masthead of our columns Ohio's favorite son, Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker. We do so for the reason that in Gov. Foraker the race has always found a bold and fearless friend, one who has at all times stood by the front rank in the battle for the rights of all men. He condemns crime and mob violence in all phases. The Negro of the south needs such an advocate; the Negroes in the army need such a friend—one who will not with one stroke of the pen to satisfy the whims of a set of sorehead army officers disqualify 300 Negro soldiers, whose bravery saved the life of the president and the nation; such are the qualities of this man whom we commend to the 18,000 knights of our order and to the Negro voters in general of the north and south—Cincinnati (O.) Brotherhood. Orders to Proceed with Discharge Not Received. Oklahoma City, Okla., Nov. 22—Major Clark, at Fort Reno, today (Thursday) said: "We have received no word to proceed with the discharge of the colored troops, and none were discharged today. We will not proceed until ordered to do so from Washington." 2 One Year. $1.50 Six Months. 1.00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- office money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter.

THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Secretary Taft "ducked" quickly it seems. He "lasted" hardly 24 hours, and there seems a disposition to "get away" from a memory or recollection of them, judging from the Associated Press reports of Wednesday from Washington, D. C. Secretary Taft while in Chicago recently voluntarily said: "My visit to Chicago has nothing to do with an alleged charge against Col. Pitcher for alleged abuse of colored troops." Of course not, of course not! The only wonder is that any one even suspected it for a moment. What temerity! --- Secretary Taft is headed the right way to soften the baneful effect of his distressing Greensboro, N. C., speech upon the progress of our people. If he succeeds in saving our three companies at Ft. Reno, Okla., and will renounce the hurtful opinions favorable to the south along a disfranchisement line, expressed in the speech referred to, our people the country over will be willing to forgive and forget. Ben Tillman is announced to lecture in Chicago on Tuesday evening at Orchestra hall. His subject is "Shall the United States Annex Cuba." Afro Americans there—in Chicago—promise him such a hot reception, according to the "Windy City" daily news papers, that the chief of police has announced that a heavy guard of policemen would be thrown about the hall. Mercy! How Ben will how! It is a pity Gov. Separate School Hoch didn't have an opponent at the recent election that our people of Kansas could have supported. His plurality was less than 2,000, the lowest ever given a candidate for governor of that state, and our people could easily have brought about his defeat. The democrats of Kansas were so thoughtless (as usual) as to nominate a "rebel kurnel" as their candidate for governor and of course Hoch won. His plurality of two years ago was greatly reduced however. This he blames the Standard Oil Co. for. Regardless of anybody or anything, a delegation of our strongest men ought to call on the president immediate upon his return Monday or Tuesday and present the soldiers' and our side of the case. If he still refuses to deal out justice to those three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry, the matter should be carried into the courts and the congress, and fought to a satisfactory finish. Rights that are not worth thus contending for are certainly not worth having to exercise or regretting when arbitrarily taken away. It is now up to us for action and not talk. T. C. Crawford, a former famous American foreign correspondent, now a successful business man in England, recently revisited this country and interviewed President Roosevelt for the London, England, Standard. We append a paragraph from that interview. Mr. Crawford wrote the Standard: "I asked the president about the Negro question. This is a matter he does not think can be disposed of in an off-hand manner. I could see it has not commanded his immediate attention. His great ambition is the successful completion of the Panama canal. To this he gives more time than any other subject." Maybe Afro-Americans are not in a position today to fully appreciate the above? Well, maybe! Gen. Oliver, judge secretary of war during Judge Tatt's recent absence from Washington, characterizes the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry at Ft. Reno, as "dangerous." Yes, dangerous to the Spaniards in Cuba during the recent war; to the warlike Filipinos and American Indians, and to the cowardly, prejudiced brutes in Brownsville, Tex. who "egged them on" to the riot in which one of them was killed and another seriously wounded. They were never "dangerous" to decent, respectful, law-abiding citizens anywhere in this country or wherever they have been station. This is a matter of history, Oliver's silly and misleading Associated Press interview to the contrary notwithstanding. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, former head of the U. S. army and for years a colonel of Afro-American "regulars" during the busy times with the Indians in the west many years ago, refused to discuss while in the city the past week the Roosevelt order affecting those three unfortunate companies of the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NVEMBER 24, 1906. Twenty-fifth infantry. This was doubtless because of his dislike for the president, whom he and many others feel did not treat him fairly when he was at the head of the army. The general has always had a good word for all men who served under him and who were as good and brave soldiers as our boys have always been. His praise of them in years gone by gives us a right to think and believe as we do. By the way Gen. Miles' and the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry's treatment by the president have several phases in common. Commissioner General of immigration Sargent left Washington recently for Honolulu where he is to supervise the landing of about 1,300 Portuguese immigrants on the 30th that are bound for that place from the Azores islands. We are informed from "the seat of government" that he goes to Honolulu at the direction of the president who considers the introduction of this class of immigrants into Hawaiian territory of great significance. The immigrants will be furnished with land by the government for settlement purposes. It is greatly to be regretted that President Roosevelt does not "consider" the Afro-American as a Panama laborer, Phillipine official, Hawaiian laborer or "for settlement purposes" or as a citizen or soldier at Ft. Brown, Tex., or Ft. Reno, Okla. The clearly defined efforts of the Associated Press and prejudiced daily newspapers, north and south, to influence the president against any modification of his order to "discharge without honor" those three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry, and to encourage him in the effort to force the members thereof who are familiar with the facts to "peach" on their comrades, and if these two efforts prove futile, to cause a disagreement between Secretary Taft and the president that will result in the former's retirement from the cabinet because of his efforts to mitigate the president's sentence, are all so apparent that they ought to cause President Roosevelt to stop and think and realize that the same miserable motif was underneath the efforts of the war department that caused him to adopt the drastic, unjust and outrageous form of punishment he did. The "shooting-up" of Brownsville by our soldiers was not "scandalous" as the N. Y. Evening Post and other papers throughout the country characterize it. It had been provoked by a series of insults, mistreatment and everything else aggravating and hurtful that Texans prejudiced against the uniform of a U. S. soldier, and especially Afro-Americans wearing them, could think of. This is what Secretary Taft learned from the highest officers in the army in that section of the country when visiting the posts recently on his inspection tour, and it is what must be made especially clear and plain to the president on his return Monday from Panama and Porto Rico, if his now notoriously unjust "discharge without honor" order to those three outraged companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry is to be revoked or even modified. Wonder if the president has forgotten, if he ever knew, how contemptably, shamefully and outrageously the brave Afro-American soldiers returning from Cuba at the close of the Spanish-American war were treated in the south? Someone should "brush up" his memory on these and kindred points, "right early" Monday morning on his return to Washington, D. C. THE PRESIDENT BROKE THE LAW. The following, an editorial from the great New York Times, needs no explanation: The action of the president in directing the dishonorable discharge of all the enlisted men of three companies of infantry is entirely unprecedented. The announcement of it will grate harshly upon the ears of those who are accustomed to believe that they are living under a government of laws. It seems incredible that Secretary of War Tatt, who is an accomplished lawyer, can have advised the "direction" which is addressed to him, or been consulted about it beforehand. The report of Gen. Garlington is by no means that all the men thus discharged had been guilty either of the lawless (?) conduct he had been investigating or of any offense known either to civil or military law. They had simply shown an unwillingness, as he viewed it, to tell all they knew about the affray in question. If they had told all they knew, Gen. Garlington would, he thinks/have been able to identify the persons actually and criminally responsible, comparatively few as he admits them to have been. Evidently, on this state of facts, it would be absolutely out of the question to frame an indictment that would hold in any civil court. Apparently it would be as impossible to frame charges that would hold before a military court. The discipline of the United States army is not a matter of arbitrariness and caprice. It is embraced in certain well-defined and understood and published documents—the articles of war and the regulations of the United States army. Courts-martial have a wider latitude than civil courts, and rightly, "Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman" is conduct which it is well that no attempt should be made to define beforehand with scientific exactness. Much must be left to the discretion of the court-martial, checked by the discretion of the reviewing authority. But that a court-martial should have power to discharge a whole battalion of soldiers because they had secreted what they knew would be a stretch of authority beyond the proper competency of such a tribunal. Much more beyond the authority of the president, on the simple recommendation of his inspector general, to inflict upon a whole battalion of men the extreme penalty of dishonorable discharge and incapacity to be employed in the mil- lary or civil service of the government without any trial or pretense of trial whatsoever. It is in flat contravention of that provision of the constitution which declares that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property "without the process of law." THE GREAT GUEST COMES "While the cobbler mused there pass- ed his none. A beggar drenched by the driving rain, He called him in from the stony street And gave him shoes for his bruised feet. The beggar went and there came a crone Her face with wrinkles of sorrow sown. A bundle of faggots bowed her back, And she was spent with the wrench and rack. He gave her his loaf and steadied her load As she took her way on the weary road. Then to his door came a little child, Lost and afraid in the world so wild, In the big, dark world. Catching it up, He gave it the milk in the waiting cup, And led it home to its mother's arms, Out of the reach of the world's alarms. "The day went down in the crimson west And with it the hope of the blessed Guest. And Conrad sighed as the world turned gray: 'Why is it, Lord, that Your feet delay Did you forget that this was the day?" Then soft, in the silence a voice he heard; 'Lift up your heart, for I kept my word. Three times I came to your friendly door; Three times my shadow was on your floor. I was the beggar with bruised feet; I was the woman you gave to eat; I was the child on the homeless street." —From a poem by Edwin Markham, in the December Delineator. With Senator Foraker With Senator Foraker. The colored people of the country are now looking to Senator J. B. Foraker of Ohio as their champion. They have been even handed justice for all men. He is a soldier and a statesman, not a mere politician, and in 1908, if they can serve him, they will see to it that he is given all the support they can marshall, for his is the true doctrine of a republican who rewards members of his own party for the service they render in the advancement of the policies which have made the nation great. Senator Foraker is one of the ablest lawyers in our country and believes in a square deal in the politics which have made the nation great. Senator Foraker Ours may be a voice crying in the wilderness, but it will cry unceasingly, and some day it will be heard. Try justice and you will win.-Washington, D. C., Press Bureau in Martinsburg (W. Va.) Presser Press. Going to Invade Australia. Boston, Mass.-Big Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion, is to salt for Australia shortly. Alec McLean, of Chelsea, who has been negotiating for matches in the antipodes for the big fellow, has received a cablegram from the National Athletic club, of Sydney, N. S. W., telling him his proposition for Johnson's services had been accepted by them and they would cable expenses for fighter and manager as soon as they are ready to start. Johnson is to be given two matches at the National Athletic club, win or lose, and he is to receive a guarantee in each, with the privilege of percentage of the gross receipts if they are in excess of the figures stipulated by the club. McClean expects battles at Melbourne and other cities in Australia. New Zealand and South Africa will also be visited. S. Coleridge-Taylor in America Stewart Released. Mt. Vernon, O—Grant Stewart, the Afro-American who slashed George Dunn (white) has been released from custody. No charge was placed against him. The grand jury investigated the case, and it is said that from all that could be gleaned from witnesses it appeared that Dunn was the aggressor in the trouble and that Stewart acted wholly in self-defense. It is not likely that he will be indicted. He did not fail to face hardly to force another Afro-American from his seat in a public dining room, however. Many of his loud-mouthed prejudiced kind need just such a lesson as Dunn received. Foraker Wears Sumner's Mantle Foraker Wears Sumner's Mantle. It looks like the prayers' of the American Negroes for another Charles Sumner, a fearless champion for justice, are about to be answered. From the trend of events it would seem that Sumner's mantle has fallen upon the shoulders of Senator Foraker, of Ohio. He alone has had the temerity to stumble in and champion the cause of the Negroes, sadly need a friend at court and we believe that he has been found in the person of Senator Foraker. May he be given strength to do the great work to which he has been divinely called—Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise. "Jim Crow" State Constitution "Jim Crow" State Constitution. Guthrie, Okla.—The state constitutional convention opened Tuesday. The advantage gained by the democrats in the election of November 6 will permit that party to dictate the new state's charter. Several delegates have Indian blood in their veins. Of the things likely of adoption are the initiative and referendum of the Oregon type; separate schools, coaches and waiting rooms for Negroes; a mandatory clause compelling the state legislature to enact strict anti-trust laws, and educational qualifications for voters. A NEW WAY OF SCRAPING FLOORS. Few people would have been willing to admit that a machine could have been devised to scrape a floor, get into every corner and close up to the baseboard, and bring a floor to a smooth and even surface, for one-tenth the expense that such work is done by hand. The "Little Giant" at Work. Every house owner knows the cost of keeping hardwood floors in repair The "Little Giant" Floor S raper will do the work of six men in scraping floors of all kinds. The Hurley Machine Co., of Chicago and New York, who manufactures them have over five thousand (5000) in use, and the difficulty heretofore experienced in scraping floors by hand has been eliminated by the use of this machine. It pays for itself in one week. Contractors who have floors to scrape are losing considerable money if they are not using the "Little Giant". Catalogue and full particulars of this remarkable machine will be sent free to anyone. Write for it to day. Self-made men don't always make themselves agreeable.

The sufferer from sleeplessness too often resorts to habit-forming drugs in order to secure the coveted rest. But sleep obtained by the use of opiates is not refreshing and the benefit is but temporary at best. Mrs. H. A. Fletcher, of 59 Blodget street, Manchester, N.

Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. CHINA THE LAND OF DUCKS. Staple Article of Food for Residents of Celestial Empire. There are more ducks in China than in all the rest of the world. China, literally, is white with these birds, and day and night the country resounds with their metallic and scornal voices. Children herd ducks on every road, on every pond, on every farm, on every lake, on every river. There is no back yard without its duck house. There is no boat, little or big, without its duck quarters. Even in the cities of China ducks abound. They dodge between the coolest' legs. They fit squawking out of the way of the horses. Their indignant quack will not unseldom drown the roar of urban commerce. All over the land there are great duck hatching establishments, many of them of a capacity huge enough to produce 50,000 young ducks every year. The Chinese duck is extremely tender and delicate—the best tame duck for eating in the world. Duck among the Chinese is the staple delicacy. It is salted and smoked like ham or beef, and duck eggs are eaten as chicken eggs are in America. "OLD MAN" LIBBY'S DEER. Remarkable Story of Killing Told by Blind Guide. "Old Man" Libby is one of the best known guide camp keepers in the state of Maine, and for years has been totally blind. Four years ago he carried into Bangor the carcass of a deer, and had it taken to the office of Fish and Game Commissioner Carpenter. Libby expressed the wish that the venison be given to the Bangor hospital. Carpenter wanted to know who killed the deer, and was much sur when Libby claimed to have been the destroyer. "Why, Libby," he asked, "how did you, a blind man, manage to kill this deer?" "Wal, you see," drawled Libby, "I was standing outside my tent yesterday morning, ax in hand, just going to chop a leetle wood, when I felt this durned critter rushing onto me. I thought 'twas a b'ar, so I hauled off and soaked him." The commissioner always has a grin on tap when telling this story, for he has doubts as to who killed the deer. A.

C. — The president's failure to address the white officers of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry at Ft. Reno court-martialed when they were clearly at fault in a dozen ways, has added fuel to the fire. The war department, while holding back the discharges of the men is taking belated steps now for their court-martial. Taft has bowed before the storm. The cabinet officers gen. John F. Kennedy's head. If he sticks it out he will have a fight on his hands, and so will the republican party. Write to President Roosevelt Write to President Roosevelt. Every Afro-American in this country who can write a letter should write to President Roosevelt and tell him that the act of discharging the innocent members of Companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, will never be forgotten by the colored people of this country. That it was an outrage and nothing else but submission to the northern sentiment which has outraged every right the Negro possesses, and now reaching out its silly hand to grasp the White House in its silly folds. Deluge the White House with letters.—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American Cincinnati Republicans Denounce Rosevelt. Cincinnati, O.-In resolutions calling the action of President Roosevelt in discharging three companies of Afro-American companies from the army, "despatic usurpation of power," the Union Republican club has condemned the action of the president.

Fields, of Little Washington, Pa., was called here last week by the death of his uncle, H. C. Jackson. At Antioch church last week Thursday night a vote of thanks was extended to Soloman Weimer and those in charge of the teachers' lecture course, for their cancelling of Ben Tillman's engagement to speak in Cleveland. Weimer and his committee, who were practically forced to cancel the engagement by higher school officials, were and are not entitled to thanks from any one for what was done to Ben. Attorney Alexander Martin and George A. Myers, who followed the Gazette's suggestion, and who were in the action of the higher school authorities which compelled Weimer and his committee to cancel the Tillman engagement, are entitled to unqualified praise from all. Their efforts were most telling. Others who did what they thought best are also entitled to credit of course, for good intentions if nothing more. Merry Tempus Fugett, "23,"—"Prince" Honley, director of bell hops at the Hollenden, and minister plenipotentiary for Champion Joe Gans, gave a week-end party at the "Z" club Friday night for his guest. "Prince" poured for 50 and toasted Gans, Isaac W. Fugett, colored, thought that he should have poured for 51, so he stuck his revolver in his pocket and went in to tell Honley that he thought him too exclusive. The banquet was going when Fugett struck the corridor and brushed by the porter with a big noise. It was announced to the guests that a man was looking for Honley with a gun. Would someone put him on? Secretary Chas, Smith, from the office Chief Kohler, took the task to himself. He went out, grabbed Fugett and arrested him for carrying concealed weapons. In police court Saturday Fugett got $15 and costs. He said he was a little put out because Honley forgot him when the bids were sent out.—The Press, Nov. 10. "The Press" gave a party to its newsbows Saturday at ation, Joe Gans, lightweight champion of the world, was the guest of honor. In the mind of a newsboy, as compared with the champion pugilist, the president of the United States is a nonentity, and the kings and potentates of the world are unworthy of a thought. Gans made a speech while the newsbows worshipped him. It was the best speech he knew how to make, it was from a fighter's point of view, and from that or any other point of view it was a dandy. "Boys," said the champion, "I used to sell papers in the streets of Baltimore. I can remember when Sullivan and Kilrain fought for the championship there and I sold papers the next day telling all about it. I made up my mind to be a fighter and I wondered who could ever be good enough to be a champion of the world. I know a thing or two about boxing. Perhaps you will take it up for a living. You can't all be champions, as fighters, merchants, professional men, or whatever you turn out to be. Whatever you do, study. Learn how. Work hard and stick to it. Get wise. Be the best in the business. Don't be a dub. I don't advise you to be fighters, but I know some fighters who are good boys. Whatever sort of work you do, do it right and be on the level." Gans was the judge of the pie-eating contest. He awarded the prizes to Johnny Navarro, Peter Larocoe and Angelo Larocoe. When the last boy had swallowed the last crumb of pastry and the last berry, Gans remarked: "Great stuff to train on—that ple." The party concluded with Gans tossing hands, clenched knuckles and dined into the crowd. It was a prodigial, and the boys won't forget it. It cost Gans six dollars. Five minutes after they had untangled themselves, counted their profits and felt their bruises, they were on the street selling first editions.—The Press, Nov. 10. ADVERTISERS' LINERS. The failure of many local race enterprises can be attributed principally to their failure to advertise. Our business men should use the columns of The Gazette, if they would succeed. Miss L. H. Hopkins is serving a splendid 15 cent business lunch from 11:30 to 2 p. m. and a 25 cent regular dinner from 5 to 8 p. m. daily upstairs over the Z club, 12 Hickox street. Try them and be convinced. Ladies desiring the latest and best hats of all kinds and styles and too, at the most reasonable prices, will please remember that Miss Florence Burch is prepared to serve them at her minerva parlor, 2439 Central avenue, S. B. The Gazette is a live newspaper, full of news. Decidedly the best in this section of the country, all agree. Call your friends' attention to the fact. You missed a treat each week for many weeks if you have not been getting it regularly. All persons troubled with corns, bunions, ingrowing nails, chlibliains and all troubles of the feet should call on George H. Turner, christoprod, 3119 Central avenue, near corner Newton (or 31st) street S. E. All painlessly and successfully treated. Attorney John M. Anderson, who returned to the city some time ago from Philadelphia, is officeing at 317 American Trust building, on the northwest corner of the Public Square. Call your friends' attention to this fact and also to his advertisement elsewhere in this paper. J. H. Lewis, (old No.) 686 Central avenue, new No.) 3408 Central avenue, sells coal by the sack and ton. Also hard coal and coke. All orders promptly delivered. Be sure to remember him—S. E. corner of Central avenue and Harper street. Phone Bell North 1246 L. The very best place in the city of Cleveland to purchase planos is at the Dreher Sons Co., in the Arcade.

Lacy, a member of the race, who has been in the employ of this firm for many years, and he will not only give you courteous treatment, but also the best and cheap bargains. Rural Mail Carriers. A. D. Male, of West Mansfield, writes the editor: "I see in a recent issue of The Gazette, that an Afro-American rural mail carrier in Leduc county, is probably the only one in the north. We have one in this (Logan) county, there are two in Washington county, and there are doubtless others elsewhere in the state." More Peonage Indictments. Pensacola, Fla.—The United States grand jury, after four days' session on the 11th, returned indictments against 12 persons, charging peonage, in connection with cases which originated at the Jackson Lumber Co.'s camp several months since.

Mr. Geo. Hoffman, of Kingsville, Texas, planted early this Spring five acres in carrots. In March, he sold his car- rots to Denny & Co., of Chicago, for 5 per crate. His net returns on five ackes of carrots were $320 per acre. One acre planted in onions yielded more than 20,000 pounds, for which he received 2 1-2 cents a pound, Result: $500 per acre. Mr. Hoffman is not a myth, but a real, live, up-to-date farmer; write him at Kingsville and he will tell more about his wonderful success. Such results may seem beyond belief, but they are facts. You might dos well in the Gulf Coast Country. It has a mild climate; tender vegetables can be raised almost every month in the year. The farmer there puts his crop on the market in Winter and early Spring, when the price is highest. By irrigation he insures himself against crop failure ; rivers or artesian wells give a bountiful supply of water. Two and sometimes three crops a year are raised and twenty acres there will make as much as fifty acres in other places. : * Don’t you think this is better than a one-crop country where your success depends on uncertain weather with irregular rainfall? Come to the Gulf Coast Country and win success as others have done. Now the land is cheap and you can get it on easy terms. Twenty acres will cost you about $500. The cost of clearing it is about $5 an acre, The cost of water for irrigation varies, You may want an artesian well of your own; you may get water from some river; or you may get it from your neighbor. But the cost is not great and those who have tried it have netted from the first crop, a sum which has paid all expenses, and left a good surplus. * It is not only a good place to make money, but it is also a good place for a home.
