THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 20. THEY HURT. Some of the President's Statements in His Danger of Race Hatred. Danger of Hace Hated. Morrow, by a member of one race against a member of another race is avenged in such fashion that it seems as if not race, is attacked, the result is to exasperate to the highest degree race feel-dealing with black men as with white men; it is the same rule that must be followed when waging war against men; that to treat, each man whatever his color, his creed, or his face on his real worth as with White people owe it quite as much to them as to the colored race to treat his life that he deserves such treatment; for it is surely the highest wisi- all those individuals who are honest, industrious, law-abiding, and who therefore make good and safe neigh- the individual on his merits as an individual to both will surely come in for this just rule the habit of treating all the members of the race, good and social equality or "negro domination" involved; only the question of relent- curing to the good man the right to his life, his liberty, and the pursuit of his happiness as his own qualities in hand and hand enable him to achieve it. Every colored man should realize that the worst enemy this race is the negro, the most dangerous criminal who commits the dreadful crimes in the highest degree on offenses against the whole country, and against the colored man to fail to help the officers of the law in hunting down with all such infamous offender. Moreover, in my judgment, the crime of rape should be made against the case with murder; assault with intent to commit rape should be made a crime of the court; and provision should be made by which the punishment may be the offense; while the trial should be so conducted that the victim need not timony, and that the leaf, possible punishment, may be given to the members of the white race on the other hand should understand that every lynching represents by just so much violence, the throws into prominence in the community that dwell therein. No man man being without having his own moral nature permanently lowered, nor moral deterioration in all the children who have any knowledge of it and just so much additional trouble for the next generation of Americans. Let justice be both sure and swift, and let the wild and crooked savagery and not the wild and crooked savagery Need for Negro Education. There is another matter which has a direct bearing upon this matter of sometimes calls it forth and at other times merely furnishes the excuse for its existence. It is out of the question for our people as a whole permanently own number. Even those who themself moment profit by such matters run the long run also suffer. No more shortsighted policy can be imagined than, in the fancied interest of one other class. The free public school the chances for each boy or girl to get a foundation of our whole political site: In Unto There is Strength. Exciting Mob Vengeance. Be it remembered, further, that the individuals who, whether from folly, from evil temper, from greed for office, from evil temper, from greed for office, indulge in the inflammatory damage, diary speeches and writings which tend to lynching, not only thus excite about lynching, but also tend to by what criminologists call suggestion, greatly to increase the number of people who are vicious crime against which they are inveighing. When the mob is composed of the man lynchened is of another race, the man who in their speeches and writings and to cause the tion tend to course, to excite a bitter and to cause the people of the opposite race to lose sight of the abomination in addition, by the prominence they give to the hideous deed they unintentionally tend to entangle other brutal and to cause naughty committing it. Swift, relentless and orderly punishment under the law is the only way by which criminality of a type can permanently be suppress. NOT GUILTY! Of Any Crime—The Discharged Soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. Dec. 7, 1906. Editor Leader, Dear Sir:—An editorial in this morning's Leader relative to President Roosevelt's recent unfortunate "discharge without honor" of companies, B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth infant, contains the following sentence: "There is no question that soldiers of the battalion which has been discharged went on the rampage in Brownsville, Tex., killing one resident and wounding another." But there is. The committee of the Constitutional league, of New York City, sent to Ft. Brown, Tex., and Ft. Peno, Okla., after a wreck and a half-investigation and the taking of over 100 affidavits from commissioned and non-comissioned officers, soldiers and citizens, have secured sufficient evidence to prove beyond all question that none of the soldiers discharged participated in the alleged riot or "shot up" Brownsville, and that no one was either killed or wounded in the alleged affair. Little wonder then that "orders, threats and investigation failed to reveal who the guilty men were." If there were such, then they were not soldiers. Continuing your editorial says: There is battalion stood together. There is no doubt that every member of it knows who did the shooting. Evidently they had agreed not to tell." That they "stood together" under such circumstances is perfectly natural and could not have been otherwise because it was impossible for them to know who did the shooting outside the garrison that night, and they on the inside of it. The affidavits and papers, obtained from the commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the discharged soldiers by the Constitutional league's committee, prove conclusively that with the exception of three men who are known to have been in Mexico on leaves of absence and were brought back after the alleged riot under the escort of Mexican soldiers to prevent their being lynched by prejudiced and blood-thirsty Texans, all members of the three companies answered call while the shooting was in progress at Brownsville outside the garrison. The Leader's readers are entitled to this information as well that which seeks to prove the battalion guilt of participation in that alleged Brownsville, Texas, riot. Regardless of what other companies or battalions have of this or any other regiment have been guilty of in the past, the fact still remains that unusual and not regular army methods were invoked during the absence of the secretary of war, to secure the discharge of the soldiers referred to, or the president would never have been misled into making the unfortunate error we are satisfied will appear clear to all in a short time.

Culberson and Penrose "Sat On" Soldiers Innocent—Taft Severe on Them—The Sergeant's Appeal. "The secretary of war does not pretend to have any evidence except this pamphlet," retorted Foraker, shaking the war department document which he had so severely criticised. Execuser said that he was no reply for the administration to Mr. Foraker's bitter attack on the case for the discharge SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. of the men. Lodge, Carter and Warren, who took a hand from time to time, all addressed themselves to the question of whether the resolution of inquiry should be addressed to the president or secretary of war. Lodge very frankly urged that the president "should have an opportunity to state to congress t e reasons which actuated him." Spooner supported the Foraker resolution with an argument based on senate prerogative. But the senate finally adopted both resolutions unanimously so the president will have his opportunity "to state the reason which actuated him." When Senator Culberson broke into the evidence a declaration of one of the Afro-American soldiers that company C (of the discharged battalion) "could whip the whole damned state of Texas." The fexas senator subsided in some confusion amid a roar of laughter from the galleries. Senator Foraker then made the assertion that if the testimony of the discharged soldier was given any weight it showed them innocent, and that it was only upon the assumption that they had committed perjury that the presidents' order could be justified. "So these men are guilty, some of them, of murder, if the case upon which the president acted be established," said Foraker. "Others from their knowledge of that murder have been guilty of a felony in refusing to tell about it, and others of them have committed perjury in saying they have knowledge of it. They can therefore be tried for three crimes, all of them involving punishment by imprisonment in the penitentiary, is it that the president acted be so punished and found guilty of such offenses?" continued the senator. Last week Thursday's controversy may be taken as the forerunner of a bitter fight in the senate over the question, for intense feeling was displayed by several of the senators, and it was manifest that the president's message and Secretary Taft's report will merely add fuel to the flames. Mr. Foraker said the right of the president to dismise a man from the law was also involved, and dismise him he could dismise a command in a burglary, and in fact, on the same theory, the whole army. He admitted, at the suggestion of Mr. Warren, that the president under the law had the right to increase or decrease the army within certain maximum and minimum limits. That hardly applies in this case, however. President Roosevelt has been asked by the military authorities for instructions regarding, the cases of the discharged members of the Twenty-fifth infantry, who apply for re-enlistment in the army on the basis that their previous service has been "honest and faithful." So far three of these soldiers have formally applied to the military secretary for re-enlistment. These are Sergt. Mingo Sanders, of 26 years' service; private Elmer Brown, of 16 years' service; and private Thomas Jefferson, of 13 years' service. As a basis for executive action, the application of Sergt. Sanders was sent to the president, and further action in the matter will depend upon his instructions to the military authorities. Affidavits Favorable to Soldiers. Chicago, Ill.—Armed with affidavits, which, it is declared, completely exonerate the soldiers discharged by President Roosevelt, Gilchrist Stewart, member of the republican central committee of New York county, left here recently for Washington. He was also discharged by President and Senator Foraker the affidavits he has obtained at Ft. Brown and Ft. Reno in his investigation of the Brownsville (Tex.) trouble, and if they are considered, a restatement of the soldiers, many of whom are in Chicago, may result. The papers were obtained from commissioned and noncommissioned officers, and it is asserted, prove conclusively that with the exception of three men all members of the three companies discharged by President Roosevelt, an allegation of wrongdoing which is alleged to have resulted finally, was in progress at Brownsville. Those three men were in Mexico, on a leave of absence, and were brought back to Texas under an escort of Mexican soldiers to prevent their being lynched by prejudiced Texans. Gen. Lawton's True Story General Lawton, one of the biggest and certainly the finest figure of the whole Spanish-American war, used to delight to tell a story of a battalion of dismounted Afro-American cavalry he came across one day in Cuba. With his aide he was sitting by the roadside while the battalion was passing and his attention was drawn to a huge sergeant, who, in addition to his own heavy kit, was carrying that of a sick companion about whose shoulders he had thrown his arm to make his progress easier. Comfortably tucked under the other arm was a bull dog, upon whose ugly face there rested an expression that curiously resembled a complacent grin. A look of wonder came over the dusty, weary African-American's face. "Why, Gen'ral," he said reproachfully, "the dawg's tiled!" Endless Chain to Boom Foraker. Steubenville, O.-At a mass meeting held in the court house here Tuesday night, a Foraker club was organized to boom the senior senator of Ohio on the precedence in 1908. An endless chant of bewilder was started urging the Negro voters all over the United States to organize for Foraker. SENATOR J. B. FORAKER. THE WHOLE TRUTH, And Nothing But the Truth About the Soldiers When at Ft. Brown, Tex. Washington, D. C.—The following sent the N. Y. World from Ft. Reno, Oka, recently by Gilchrist Stewart, anent the president's discharge of Companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, is of especial interest at this time: As the result of the Constitutional League commission investigation the whole case has been sifted from the events at Brownsville to Fort Reno, and from the affidavits of private and statements of officers, there is NOT ANY EVIDENCE that would stand in a court-martial or that a judge would connect: CONNECTING A SINGLE SOLDIER WITH DOING ANY SHOOTING, and there is INDISPULSE EVIDENCE THAT 95 PERCENT. OF THE MEN COULD KNOW NOTHING OF THE SHOOTING; that at Brownsville the citizens did not want the colored soldiers there. Official reports show that Private Newton was knocked down with a pistol on the sidewalk; Reed knocked off a boat in the sluice of the Rio Grande; Lucomb chased through the street; five soldiers were told by men: "This is a white man's country, and whenever you see a white man on the sidewalk with ladies get off the sidewalk and walk in the street"; that repeated insults were offered the troops and a conspiracy hatched to get rid of them; that on the day in question orders were issued by Maj. Penrose and carried out by Capt. Macklin, officer of the day, to bring in all men on passes by 8 o'clock. Every man was in but three. When the firing began Maj. Penrose and every man of long standing who can judge, say reports from the firing was of MIXED ARMS; from the time of the sound of arms by Musician Robinson to roll call, was about EIGHT MINUTES. While the men were falling in line the firing was still going on. The orders issued by Maj. Penrose were for Company C to take position of defense on the walls of the fort. B to form a skirmish line, supported. He thought, as well as the men and other officers, that the fort was being attacked. The officers' reports show that the ONLY GUN RACKS BROKEN OWERE BROKEN OPEN UPON ORDERS OF MAJ. PENROSE IN THE QUARTERS OF COMPANY C. As confusion reigned in the supposed attack on the fort, Maj. Penrose ordered the men to get the guns quickly and fall in line, if they had to break open the gun racks. Capt. Macklin's report after the 11 o'clock patrol of the outside guard shows EVERYTHING QUIET IN THE QUARTERS AND NO ONE AROUND. Citizens claim, that they saw eight men with khaki uniforms and rifles—the uniform worn in Brownville by MANY OFFICERS OF THE GOVERNMENT, DEPUTIES AND SOME CITIZENS. When Companies C and D deployed through the town they SAW CITIZENS WITH RIFLES, whom the mayor said were policemen, when investigated. Citizens claim they picked up discharged government cartridges in the streets. ANY NUMBER OF THEM BE SECURED FROM TARGET PRACTICE FIELDS, SOLDIERS, ETC. The commission secured over 50. Inspectors Bloksm, Lowering and Garlington stated on assumption that the men were guilty and restricted them to questions of IDENTITY OF SOLDIERS DOING THE SUPPOSED SHOOTING WITHOUT GOING INTO FACTS. They only examined a handful of men. The officers all say that 95 per cent of the men could have known nothing of the identity, even if six or eight did do the shooting, which has not been proved. The Constitutional League brought the six sergeants to Washington, with Gilchrist Stewart, via Chicago and New York. They include Sandoe, of Company B, WHO TOOK COL. ROOSEVELT TO HIS COMPANY IN CUBA ON THE MORNING WHEN THE AFRO-AMERICAN TROOPS SHARED THEIR HARD TACK WITH THE ROUGH RIDERS; Sergts. Frazer, with a fine record in the Phillippines, and Harris, recommended for an honor medal for bravery. The facts developed show the soldiers were in NO CONSPIRACY TO KEEP THE BACK WERE KNOWN TO FREELY TELL ALL THEY KNOW BUT WERE DENIED OPPORTUNITY BY GEN. GARLINGTON. The only conspiracy was that of the citizens of Brownville to drive the Afro-American troops out of the city. This is brought out by all the facts, including the TESTIMONY OF Continued on Second Page.

All communications should be addressed: HARRY G. SMITH Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature. 1894 to 1898. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. 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. While this month is still young, Alabama and Louisiana Afro-Americans have shown a disposition to protect their lives, even at the expense of those of a number of white brutes attacking them that is not only commendable in the extreme but also worthy of emulation by our people throughout the south, particularly. Up to date Cincinnati and Evanville, Ind, have furnished the only Afro-Americans who have had the temerity to endorse the president's action in "discharging without honor" those three companies of the 25th infantry. We do not believe they represent the feeling or opinion of the masses of our people in either city. "THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS." Congressman John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, who attributes the south's rapid industrial development to the disfranchisement of the Afro-American, urges as a solution of the so-called "Negro problem," the importing of white laborers into the south, and the scattering of Afro-Americans over the north. He is not near so correct in this view as he is in his characterization of his opponent as a candidate for the United States senate, Gov. Vardaman, as a monomaniac on the repeal of the 15th amendment to the federal constitution. As between the two candidates the little preference favors Williams simply because he has been in the congress long enough to see the ridiculousness of certain statements relative to the Afro-American and his rights made by such individuals as Vardaman, Tillman, Graves, Hoke Smith and their kind. "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS." We are in hearty sympathy with Senator Lodge's resolution declaring that the time has come for an international inquiry into the affair of the Congo Free state. This country ought to join with foreign powers in such a movement. The maiming and murdering of innocent African natives because they fail to bring in the amount of rubber King Leopold's agents demand, is almost as inhuman as the wholesale butchering and crippling of Afro-Americans in Atlanta, Ga.; Wilmington, N. C., and at various other points in the south. Wouldn't it be "rich" if Belgium's ruler should send a curt reply to the Lodge resolution telling this country to mind its own business and to put a stop to the disgraceful affairs like those referred to before undertaking to "help clean some one else's door still?" Russia, with its Kishenef, this country with its Atlanta butchery, and Belgium with its Congo atrocities, are in a class by themselves, one that will eventually condemn them to everlasting punishment unless a prompt halt is called. THE SOUTH'S NEW TROUBLE. That load of immigrants which landed at Charleston, S. C., recently and caused so much rejoicing all over the south seems to have also caused a great deal of trouble for southern cotton mill owners and others for violating the United States alien contract labor law. The American Federation of Labor has filed charges against the state of South Carolina under the law. While certain members of the Mercantile club, of Charlotte, N. C., an organization composed of mill owners, are greatly concerned in fear of similar trouble, having brought to this country three months ago from abroad 40 girls, to whom they gave employment, and whom they may be compelled to send back. The same condition obtains in the case of South Carolina and its 500 Belgians. Meanwhile the south "knashes its teeth" and threatens all kind of vengeance upon the labor unions of the country for having secured the enaction by the congress of such legislation as the alien contract labor law which just at present means so much to our labor of that section. THE FIRST VICTORY. The grand fight in the senate last week of Ohio's senior senator has already brought favorable results. The president has at last made a concession by opening the way to reinstitution in the army for members of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry "discharged without honor" as a result of that alleged riot in Brownsville, Tex. In an order issued by Secretary of War Taft on Tuesday to THE GAZELLE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1906. Gen. Ainsworth, military secretary, it is directed that members of the battalion desiring to re-enlist may file with their application documentary evidence that they neither participated in the alleged riot nor withheld information concerning it, which is to be investigated by the military secretary. To Gen. Ainsworth also is referred for investigation the Constitutional league report of Gilchrist Stewart, Esq., who investigated the alleged riot on behalf of the dismissed men. As Ainsworth was the "mainspring" in the outrageous report made against the soldiers which was the basis of the president's unfortunate action, it will not do to feel too happy over this slight concession, the first victory! We must now work all the harder for the complete rehabilitation of the men, and too, under the leadership of that matchless statesman and true friend, Senator J. B. Foraker. Send to your congressman for a copy of the Congressional Record of Dec. 6 and read his magnificent effort of that date, in behalf of our companies B, C and D, of the grand old Twenty-fifth regiment. May God bless him! Our people through out the land are doing so. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE While President Roosevelt's treatment of lynching, mob violence and other matters of racial interest, in his message to the congress Tuesday is especially strong, there are a few very hurtful and wrong impressions made by it. His statement that "the greatest existing cause of lynching is the perpetration, especially by black men, of the hideous crime of rape" is not borne out by annual lynch statistics, and is not true. It is unintentional libel of the entire race, north and south, and hurts and will continue to do so for years to come because it is a presidential endorsement of a southern reiteration that has been industriously circulated by prejudiced persons for years, and too, in the face of destructive statistical facts, with a view to its ultimate acceptance and belief upon the part of the entire country. Now the president gives it place in his message, and the fight to make the people of this country see and recognize the truth as shown in the statistical facts destroying the vitally injurious reiteration must go on with redoubled rigor from now on. In the paragraph following the one containing the sentence quoted above, the president has the following contradictory statement: "Two-thirds of the lynchings (of Afro-Americans) are not for rape at all." This is the true, but the harm has been. Equally hurt and harent is the southern charge that our people, north or south, harbor their criminals. Equally unfortunate is the president's giving it place in his message. We are more prone to this sort of thing than are other classes of Americans and it is wrong, particularly so for the president, to even give out indirectly an opposite impression. Every month more crimes of rape are committed by white brutes in the large cities of the country than are charged to Afro-Americans in an entire year. Why create the impression that it is a crime peculiarly the Afro-Americans? Yet this is exactly what the president has unintentionally done by his imperfect treatment of the subject. If we had an opportunity we would change and read to him a portion of a paragraph of his message substituting the word "white" for that of "colored," in order that we might thoroughly impress him with another fact which he seems to overlook and that will appear after a careful reading of the following changed excerpt from his message: "Every white man should realize that the worst enemy of his race is the white criminal, and above all the white criminal who commits the dreadful crime of rape; and it should be felt as in the highest degree an offense against the whole country and against the white race in particular, for a white man to fail to help offences of the law in down of the white man with all impossible inertness and zeal every such infamous offender." The president is especially strong in his indorsement of industrial education in the following sentence: "Of course, the best type of education for the colored man, taken as a whole, is such education as is conferred in schools like Hampton and Tuskegee, where the boys and girls, the young men and women are trained industrially as well as in the ordinary public school branches." He is especially severe in his condemnation of "inflammatory and incendiary speeches and writings" of anarchistic southern demogogues like Ben Tillman, Jim Vardaman, Tom Dixon, Jack Graves, Hoke Smith and their ilk. His argument in favor of the public school for all in the south, "free of the proportioned to the taxes" nonsense advocated in some of its states, is especially timely and strong and we trust will have great effect for good. The growing demand upon the Day Nursery and Kindergarten compelled its removal to larger quarters at No. 2427 Central avenue, S. E. which require larger equipment and result in increased general expenses. The good being accomplished justifies the management in endeavoring to meet the requirements, and it is hoped the charitable public will not disappoint it in rendering aid. The Board of Managers will hold an inagathering Tuesday, December 18, from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m., when it is hoped the friends will make a special effort in behalf of the Nursery and Kindergarten. Donations of provisions, children's beds, playthings and money will be called for in response to notice by postal card, letter or telephone. Mrs. A. E. Wheeling, W. Va., News. Mr. A. Jeffries and J.

ONE OF THE GUARDS THAT FIVE CITIZENS RAN FROM UNDER THE WALL OF THE FORT. The next evening an ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO BREAK OPEN THE FORT MAGAZINE HOUSE, and the patrol guard could have shot the participants, but HAD ORDERS NOT TO DO SO, and to fall back to the parade grounds and report, which was done.

Senator Tillman comes before the public as statesman and showman by turn, and the modest fame he has earned in one capacity is hopelessly obscured by the notoriety he has achieved in the other. He appeared at his worst, or best, in the role of showman in Chicago on Tuesday evening, when he delivered a lecture, ostensibly on Cuba, but actually on the race question in America, a subject upon which he has apparently become a monomaniac, unless he is shrewdly utilizing it as a drawing card calculated to put money in his purse. Tillman's views on this subject are so well understood that it is strange that there should be any curiosity in any quarter to hear them reiterated. He is known to be narrow and intolerant, a mere purveyor of vituperative phrases, directed more often than not at the very people he is addressing and whose money he has in his pocket. He does not expect, still less intend, to contribute anything toward a settlement of the race question, for nobody knows better than he that he is running counter not only to every law but also to every sacred tradition and decent instinct of his countrymen. On the contrary he has become in this matter neither more nor less than a social incendiary not yet suppressed simply because he has thus far kindled no confaslation. If Tillman shall ever become a positive danger instead of an unmitigated nauseance, he himself will not be wholly to blame. If the riot and the parents would cheer him and parenty would welcome shall ever make their appearance, they will have to shoulder some of the responsibility who have flocked to hear him, mainly to gratify an unhealthy curiosity and thus enabled him to thrive on advertising so easily obtained. Incidentally it was not creditable to the judgment of many Chicago citizens, white and colored, that they did not content themselves with a dignified protest, against his appearance instead of resorting to appeals and threats almost as well calculated to inflame race hatred as any utterances to be expected from Tillman. American Negroes should be the last to place themselves in the position of opposing that freedom of speech to which they owe their freedom; and as soon as northern Negroes learn to take Tillman in the same valuation as the whites he will cease to trouble either. In the meantime a good way to discourage and rebuke Tillmanism is to refuse to pay to hear Tillman.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Oil City. Pa. Items The M. M. S. met at Mrs. Jno. G. Larry's.

Roosevelt's "Bunsbyisms." Let us also contrast the president's splendid sentiments regarding the Japanese with his Huntsbyisms regarding the Negro. In his handling of this race question, with here a kindly phrase for the Negro and there an extenuating concession to white prejudices against him, all so suggestive of a keen appreciation of the value of the white vote at the south and of the Negro vote at the north, Mr. Roosevelt reminds one of the complacency of the dying man who said he had no fears of death because throughout his life he had kept on "pretty good terms with God and on pretty good terms with the devil, too." For all that he says in behalt of the Negro, Mr. Roosevelt is apologetic to the Negro's white persecutors; and in the end the Negro is advised to be good, in a tone and spirit which implies that if he has any rights that white men are bound to respect he must prove his merit gradually and mustn't meanwhile be insolent to his betters.—Chicago Public.

Dr. William Barton (white) of the First Congregational church of Oak Park, in preaching on Tillman's recent local tirade against Afro-Americans, said in his sermon Sunday week: "In a recent article an educated southern woman touched on one phase of the Negro problem not often directly alluded to in articles of the sort—her own hatred, unreasonable and blind, of a mulatto boy on the place and hour day she smashed his face with ink and found to her surprise that her mother did not punish her, but sent the little lad to his mother, saying: 'Tell her you are nearer the right color now than I ever saw you before.' "It never occurred to the educated southern woman writing this article to blame her father, nor yet that she and her mother had not a perfect right to hate the mulatto boy, her own half brother, and his helpless mother. "It is easy for us to ask ourselves when some terrible lynching occurs: What would you do if your daughter had been ruined by a black wretch? No, she would not have been asked the question: What would you do if you were a black man, educated, Christian, and your wife, your daughter, were never safe from danger from those who assumed that all black women were unchaste? What would you do when neither court nor public sentiment nor God above spoke out to protect your dear ones from outrage? "I utterly deny Senator Tillman's statement that northern influence has made the Negro a ravisher of white women, and that its sequences made the white man destroyer of the virtue of black women." "Unless we recover from our caste spirit we shall meet worse dangers than we are fearing. We shall have a mob of 9,000,000 people out of whom we have crushed the soul rising up with torch and brand. And we shall have China and Japan, armed and mighty and like the sand in number, hammering down the Golden Gate." Detroit. Mich.—In an article in a recent issue of the Dally Journal of this city Francis H. Carrren, editor of the city's former mayor, "Odents of the most prominent candidates (white) for office in the recent elections in this city and a man who has spent much time in the south, told me the following the other day: "We were at a country crossroads in Louisiana waiting a couple of hours for a train when some of our party (several white men) suggested that we go through a row of cottages near by occupied by Negroes. Suiling action to the word, they started the rounds of these Negro cabins, bolted right in without rapping at the doors, ordered the men out at the point of p. tools and assaulted such of the women who, apparently, dared not make any resistance under pain of being killed. I remonstrated with them, but they only laughed at me and said that kind of treatment of niggers was the only way they could be controlled." Evidently the Cleveland daily Leader does not desire to be fair in the matter and is determined to keep its readers believing that those outraged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry are guilty of committing the alleged crime at Brownsville, Tex. Its refusal to publish a letter given elsewhere in The Gazette to-day, shows conclusively not only what 'we state above but also a pro-southern sympathy (prijudice) that will cause all loyal Afro-Americans of Cleveland to discontinue taking the paper, and also to vote against the Cleveland Electric Railroad Co. if ever the franchise question is submitted to a vote of the people, because its stockholders are the principal owners of both the Leader and the News, papers which seem to delight in characterizing our people as "intriggers, coons, darkies, dingies, bishops, and women as "progresses," the most insulting mongrel term that can be raked up and one that was used during slavery days in conjunction with the miserable designation "buck" for a male slave. Tell every Afro-American of this community with whom you come in contact and who has a spark of self and race-ride to bar the Leader and the News from their homes as they would a lousy dog,and to remember to hold the Cleveland Electric Railway Co. responsible for the Leader's and the News' contemptible graftious insults. The members of the race who would commend these two miserable sheets to our people ought to be driven out of the city. Olean, N. Y., Notes. Born to Mr. and Mrs. David Kelly, Dec. 4, a son—Rev.

SOME FACTS ABOUT M'GIRT'S MAGAZINE. Read What R. H. Boyd. D. D. LL.D. and the National Baptist Convention Have Done. Started a few years ago with one little writing table, a five-cent bottle of ink and a three-cent writing pad. Last year did $125,000 worth of business. This ten-year history is told in the November number of McGirt's Magazine. The November number of McGirl's Magazine is a great national Baptist publishing house number. One of the greatest issues that I have yet published. Besides the regular features of the magazine, this number contains the "History of the Baptist Publishing House," covering a scope of ten years, with more than 20 illustrations. You will see more than 20 well furnished offices, showing the different managers, clerks, typewriters and stenographers, typesetters, bookkeepers, printers and binders; in short, the vast host of 300 colored men, women, girls, employees, employers, great building staff and out by Negroes. To this work will cause the blood to course rapidly through your veins. No one who has never seen this great establishment can imagine that any body of colored people is doing so much business as is illustrated in this number. To read about a company that receives each day more than 3,000 letters and spent for stamps last year more than $14,000, is a treat that every member of the colored race should avail himself of. This is too great to describe by words, and you will have to read this ten-year history to really have any idea of this great establishment, and this is the reason for the Baptist Publishing House." This magazine is an illustrated monthly that has been published for the last four years. It has come out regularly every month. In these four years we have not published a number so fascinating in character and comprehensive in scope. In this same issue you will find an article entitled "Shall Lynching be suppressed and How?" by Winthrop D. Sheldon, LL.D., of Girard college, Philadelphia, Pa. I give you my word, this is the strongest article that I have written. The number contains 60 pages. Subscription price to the magazine is $1 per year. Special Offer. To any person who will send one dollar we will send the magazine for one year and will make him a present of four copies of this great November number. These four copies you can make yourself a present of the money. Special Offer to Agents. To any person sending one dollar we will send 15 copies of this "National Baptist Publishing House Number." These copies can be sold as fast as they can be handed out. We request every purchaser, Sunday-school teacher, president of young people's society to send at least one dollar for 15 of these copies to sell among their people. This issue will awaken the people as they have not before been awakened to the great progress of the colored race. We order and money to James E. McGirt, 420 S. 11th street, Philadelphia, Pa. In ordering more than 15 copies you can have the magazines for seven cents each. Single copy 15 cents. Tillman and Young Maxor THE B. D. BREHER'S SONS CO.

A COPY THIS BOOK ONE YEARS Subscription THE GAZETTE Two Dollars yo The FEMININE WARDROBE THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WORLD IN THE 19TH CENTURY. SOME DAINTY DESIGNS IN LINGRIE A GRACEFUL GOWN FOR A GIRL Knew All About the Auto 4 The personality of dress is an interesting subject, for people do grow to be like their clothes, or is it the other way and clothes come to look like their wearer. A woman often says to another: "I saw such a lovely gown downtown. I want you to see it. It looks just like you," or "Mrs. B. wore a bright, red coat yesterday. It did not seem one bit right for her—not like her, you know—and so it goes—clothes do grow to look like, or at least suggest certain people. It may be from a long continued use of a color or style, or some other cause, but the fact remains that clothes look like people and suggest their individuality, their tastes and their habits. As to the particular article of dress that bears the closest resemblance to the weaver, there are various opinions. Some content that a glove tells much of its wearer, for instance. A glove worn out on the inside would indicate a nervous, restless person, who kept her or her hands opening or closing and clutched at things. If wrinkled, an untidy person must have carelessly worn it. Some people never put on a glove straight and there is a great difference in the way gloves are worn. Certainly an old boot or shoe that has passed through hard use bears the record of its life and scrutinizing eyes might read many tales in the creases and cracks and in its warped and uneven shape. No doubt that, take it all in all, no part of a man's dress so indicates himself as his boots. A man's hat is a conventional thing and while it bears traces it tells but very little of the head that is covered—the thoughts that dwell therein. Now, a woman's hat is a different creation altogether. It is an individual taste and stands the change of angle on the head that it adorns daily. It is never quite the same; never in adjustment equally becoming or otherwise. It is jerked or pulled and caressed and punctured with hat pins and to most feminine eyes makes of its wearer a "vision" adding to her charms or else it is beastly or unbecoming. But the externals are not all that interest the woman dresser. Lingerie styles always hold a fascination for her, and the styles promise much for the future. The tailor-made linen waist will undoubtedly be a feature, and despite the success of the silk waist during the present season, it is expected that with the coming of spring the lingerie waist and tailored waist of cotton or linen will be in full favor. Matched sets are a very popular and growing idea in muslin underwear, and this idea is being brought out in the less expensive lines. The use of silk batiste is noted in high-class lines of imported lingerie. A beautiful matched set of this material shows elaborate hand tucking and insertions and edgings of German Valenciennes. The chemise and night gown are trimmed in bolero outline. The night gown sleeves, which open to the shoulder, have the new circular movement worked out in lace insertions, hand tuckings and lace edgings. Broad ribbons hold the fullness of the gown across the front and catch the open sleeves in two places. The pantalon has the same outline in trimming and large bows of ribbon are placed on the outside of the flounce. Our illustration suggests a set of lingerie that can be easily copied. The little cap is made of lace over the finest of mull muslin with a twist and rosettes of satin ribbon, and is intended to be worn in the morning by the young housewife who desires to make a dainty and decorative appearance, and look at her best at that trying period of the day before there has Another Sample of the Man Who Can't Be Wrong. The other afternoon a single-seated automobile, driven by a well-dressed woman, stopped in the middle of the car tracks at Sixteenth and Curtis streets, and refused to budge. The woman pushed levers and turned cranks, but there was nothing doing. After two street cars had come to a stop and a crowd of perhaps 25 persons had gathered near her, she requested some of the spectators to push the machine to the curb. This was done, and the woman continued to tinker at it. Just then one of those men who knows it all came along. "The sparker's busted," he said, taking a look under the machine. "Is that so?" said the woman, still tinkering. "Yes," said the man who knew it all. "That machine will never run THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1906. been time to arrange a very careful coiffure. The charming artistic looking fichu is coming again to the front. Not only will it be worn for evening dress, but also for smart day wear. Many are made of spotted net, finished with frilled edges and a bordering of narrow white satin ribbon. Others are daintly made of chiffon, crepe de chine, lace and embroidery. Checks and tartan-plaids are quite a feature of autumn fashions. Check velvetes are to be seen among the new materials. They are to be had in white and black, gray, and black, red and gray, red and black, and green and blue. Many tail-made gowns are trimmed with white muslin frills, edged with Valenciennes, and not only does it finish off sleeves, but also the edge of bolero coats. The skirts which accompany the check velvet blouse or bodice are usually made to match one of the colors in the blouse. Fine embroideries are introduced on the collar and cuffs. A pretty afternoon gown shows a skirt and bodice made of blue and white velvet, with trimmings of dark silk, richly embroidered with white silk. The figure on the left of our large picture shows the design for a girl's simple evening gown in heavy cream Liberty satin. The full folds are, you will see, so arranged as to give the fashionable Empire effect at the back, while a softness of lace is held in on the corsage by bands of satin, fastening on either side in flower like rosettes. The sleeves are entirely formed of the lace, and of course a touch of color can always be supplied by a couple of long-stalked pink roses, in which case it would be pretty to have a soft satin ribbon in the rose shade With Crown of Apple-Green Velvet Embroidered in Silver and Green Bird of Paradise. threaded in and out of the lace and tied at one side in a big bow. Lace continues to be the fabric most in demand for smart blouses, and it is frequently relieved by a touch of colored embroidery, applications of Chinese needlework being particularly effective. An unusually pretty blouse is evolved from coffee-colored point d'esprit, the narrow vest down the front, the neck band, and tight cuffs to the elbow sleeves, being of white lace the pattern embroidered in raised white silk and gold and silver threads. The Crow's Usefulness. A crow destroys 700,000 insects a year. until a new sparker is put in. You see I know. I used to work in a factory where machines like that are made. I understand the automobile thoroughly. I saw at once that the sparker was out of commission and that there was no more 'run' in that machine." Here he looked about him for the approbation of the crowd. The woman kept tinkering "No use, he continued. "It won't go. I couldn't be wrong. A man who knows the gasoline auto as thoroughly as I do couldn't make a mistake. I—" Just then the machine began to puff. The woman got in and away it went. There was a joker in the crowd. Stepping up to the man who made the big talk, he said: "My friend, you're right. That machine will never run until a new sparker is put in it." A policeman happened along in time to prevent a fight—Denver Post. DOES YOUR BACK ACHET Profit by the Experience of One Who Has Found Relief. James R.

I doctored and used many remedies without getting relief. Beginning with Doan's Kidney Pills, I found relief from the first box, and two boxes restored me to good, sound condition.

Unearthing the Briber During a recent campaign in England a certain woman called on a laborer's wife and asked if her husband would vote for Lord Blank. "No, he won't," was the reply. "But, remember the blankets and coals you got from the clergyman." "Never mind them. He's been promised a new pair of trousers if he votes for Mr. Dash." Suspecting that this was a case of bribery that must be outdone, the woman canvasser offered a sovereign the woman would tell her who had promised the trousers. The money paid over, the woman smiled. "I promised them," she said, "and I'll buy them out of your sovereign." National Pure Food and Drugs Act.

King Friedrich August of Saxony has given to the Germanic museum at Harvard a full-size reproduction of the sandstone pulpit of the Church of Wechselburg, near Leipsic. This gift is regarded as the most important made to the museum since the fine collection of casts was sent by the German emperor. The pulpit belongs to the beginning of the thirteenth century, and is a massive structure, 15 feet high, resting on Romanesque columns. PUT DOWN "EDDICATION" IDEA. Farmers's Plea Had Weight Among Brother Agriculturists. In the early forties, on a certain "town meetin' day" in one of the small farming communities of the Granite state, there was more than the usual interest and excitement. Some audacious Philistine had secured the insertion in the warrant of an article "To see if the town will appropriate $500 for a new schoolhouse." The study neoamany were out in force to fight down this proposition. The sympathetic moderator didn't "moderate" them worth a cent. The so-called "toney" advocates, conscious from the start of their numerical weakness, were conciliatory and persuasive, in the hope of thus winning to their standard sufficient of the opposition to carry the day. These hopes were dashed, however, when a veteran farmer, the Nestor of the guild, got the floor, and shouted in foghorn tones: "What do you want of skulehouses, anyway? This edification talk is rais'in the old Harry with the boys on the farm! There's that Danny Webster—s likely a young man 's ever raised in these 'eere parts! Got this edification into his head—left the farm—never's heard of afterward!" This was a settler. The "tones" fled the scene, and the "nocs" had it NO MEDICINE. But Change of Food Gave Final Relief. Most diseases start in the alimentary canal—stomach and bowels. A great deal of our stomach and bowel troubles come from eating too much starchy and greasy food. The stomach does not digest any of the starchy food we eat—white bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc. these things are digested in the small intestines, and if we eat too much, as most of us do, the organs that should digest this kind of food are overcome by excess of work, so that fermentation, indigestion, and a long train of alls result. Too much fat also is hard to digest, and this is changed into acids, sour stomach, belching gas, and a bloaty, heavy feeling. In these conditions a change from indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will work wonders in not only relieving the distress but in building up a strong digestion, clear brain and steady nerves. A Wash. woman writes: "About five years ago I suffered with bad stomach - dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation - caused, I know now, from eating starchy and greasy food. "I doctored for two years without any benefit. The doctor told me there was no cure for me. I could not eat anything without suffering severe pain in my back and sides, and I became discouraged. "A friend recommended Grape-Nuts and I began to use it. In less than two weeks I began to feel better, and inside of two months I was a well woman and have been ever since. "I can eat anything I wish with pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast, and are very fond of it." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

A number of the leading newspapers on this side of the line have been noticing the growth of the Canadian West in recent years, and draw attention to the fact that there seems to be no abatement of the influx of settlers to that great grain-growing country. The Buffalo Express thus refers to the subject: "Canada West continues to grow. There were 4,174 homesteades entries there in July of this year, as against 3,571 in July, 1905. Canada plumes herself over this fact, with becoming pride. But what appears to make our neighbors happiest is the statement that of these 4,174 homesteaders, 1,212 were from this side of the line. Little is said about the 97 Canadians who reccropped the border to take up homes in Canada West, or of the 808 from Great Britain, or of the 1,236 from non-British countries. It appears that the item in this July report that makes Canada rejoice most is this of the 1,212 American farmers who decided to try their fortunes in Canada West. The compliment is deserved. The 1.212 were mostly from Dakota and other farming states, and go into Canada fitted better than any other class of immigrants for developing the new country. They take capital with them, too, say Canadian papers proudly. In every way, they are welcome over there." As the Express well says, the American is welcomed to Canada, and the reasons given are sufficient to invite the welcome. The American farmer knows thoroughly the farming conditions that prevail in the Canadian prairie provinces, and is aware of every phase of agricultural development in recent years. In practical knowledge of what is wanted to get the largest return for labor and investment he is by long odds superior to any European settler. He knows what is required to bring success, and he is able and willing to do it, and his future causes no apprehension to the successful Canadian farmer. The agent of the Canadian Government, whose address appears elsewhere, says that the difference between the manners and customs of the farmer from Dakota, Oregon or Minnesota and the farmer from Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta is not nearly so marked as that between the farmer of the Maritime provinces and the Ontario tiller of the soil. Hence the welcome to the free homesteads of the Canadian West, and there are hundreds of thousands of them left, that is extended to the settler from the Western States. BIRD TRAVELS WITH GIRAFFE Red Billed Weaver Constant Companion of Animal Skyscraper. The red-billed weaver bird is a constant companion of the giraffe, perching itself upon the withers and flying along when its host takes to flight, and immediately alighting on its back at the first opportunity. The only means of defense or offense by the giraffe is by means of its hoofs, and the blows it can deliver by kicking are of tremendous power. The old males during the breeding season fight in this manner a good deal, and the female employs the same means in defending her young against carnivorous animals. Giraffes are very swift of foot, and it requires a very fleet horse to run them down. Experienced hunters, however, charge them at full speed, and by this means are often able to run into them, and if the giraffes are fat they will soon become 'blown.' When running, the tail is twisted in a corkscrew fashion over the back and the hind legs at each step are thrown on the outside of the forelegs, giving a very grotesque straddling appearance. The giraffe is mute, but he has a very keen sense of hearing and of smell. A New Sleeping Car Story Among the railroad visitors in town yesterday was F. A. Miller, general passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. He visited all of the general offices in town and at the Hollenden Hotel yesterday told a story of one of the sleeping car porters who was recently found asleep while on duty. This is contrary to the rules of The St. Paul Road, and the negro man was in trouble when found by the inspector on The Pioneer Limited. He had his wits about him, however, and in response to the inspector's inquiry as to what he was doing asleep, he said: "Tell you how it was, boss. I have only been with the company a short time and before coming here I was working on such and such a railroad. The line was so rough that I could not get any sleep. Since I have been working for the The St. Paul the road has been so smooth that I just could not keep awake." Mr. Miller says that while the negro had violated the rules, he was permitted to keep his job on account of his wit—Cleveland Leader. Unknown Qualities of Radium Unknown Qualities of Radium. Prof. Henry E.

Grant said at a dinner in Washington: "It is like the case of my friend Maj. Green. Maj. Green said to his servant one morning: "James, I have left my mess boots out, I want them soled.' "Yes sir,' the servant answered. "The major, dressing for dinner that night, said again: "I suppose, James, that you did as I told you about those boots?" "James laid 35 cents on the bureau." "Yes, sir,' said he, 'and this is all I could get for them; though the corporal who bought 'em said he'd have given half a dollar if pay day hadn't been so far off." LIMB RAW AS PIECE OF BEEF. Suffered for Three Years with Itching Humor—Cruiser Newark U. S. N. Man Cured by Cuticura. "I suffered with humor for about three years off and on. I finally saw a doctor and he gave me remedies that did me no good, so I tried Cuticura when my limb below the knee to the ankle was as raw as a piece of beef. All I used was the Cuticura Soap and the Ointment. I bathed with Cuticura Soap every day, and used about six or seven boxes of Cuticura Ointment. I was thoroughly cured of the humor in three weeks, and haven't been affected with it since. I use no other Soap than Cuticura now. H. J. Myers, U. S. N., U. S. S. Newark, New York, July 8, 1905." Tea on the Down Grade Tea drinkers are finding scant encouragement in a report recently made by a large tea exporting house in Yokohama to its American customers. Incidentally it indicates that the United States is not alone in facing increased cost of living. The report says: "Owing to the rapidly increasing cost of living in Japan labor costs more, and in consequence cultivation of the tea gardens is less generous and extensive than formerly, and less care and skill are expended in picking and curing the leaf. Hence the average quality of the teas now offered for sale is below that of seasons prior to the war, and for the same reasons we are not likely in the future to see any reversion to the excellence of former years."—New York Sun. Wood at Eight Dollars a Pound. "French walnut is the finest wood we have," said the cabinet-maker. "It comes from Persia, but it is prepared in France. I have seen French walnut worth $2 a pound, and it is a common thing to pay $2 a pound for it. Of course it is used principally for veneering. Only millionaires could have chairs and tables of solid French walnut. "Milkogany, wonderful as it is, rarely fetches such high prices. From $2 to $3 is a very good price per pound for this wood. "Ebony, if it is in a particularly large piece, so that it will cut well, will often bring $5 a pound in the wood market." May Throw Light on History May Throw Light on History. Were excitement regarding the Hohenstein crisis is still rife in Europe, there is unbelievable talk in British military circles regarding the forthcoming appearance of a book which will contain some of the late duke of Cambridge's voluminous correspondence.

Congressman Sulzer represents a densely populated district on the East side of New York city. It occurred to him some months ago that though there are no gardens in his district some of his constituents might grow plants in boxes placed on window sills or fire escapes, so he sent an assortment of seed to the inmate of a model tenement house owned by one of his friends. The latter met him a few days ago and said: "See here, Sulzer, I want you to cut that seed business. It's the limit!" "Why, what's the matter?" asked the astonished Sulzer, and he explained why he had sent the seeds. "Oh, you meant well, all right," returned the friend, scornfully, "but when I visited the place the other day I found that about ten families were raising cabbage, cucumbers and tomatoes in the bath tubs."
