THE SUBSIDIZED PRESS! What the Senior Senator from Ohio Said Relative to the Brownsville Affair. Canton, O.—In his grand speech delivered here last week Wednesday evening Senator Foraker discussed published statements regarding the president's attitude toward the senator's speeches at this time; replied to a publication mentioning him as one of an anti-Roosevelt combination; reviewed the investigation of the discharge of our soldiers on account of the trouble at Brownsville. Tex.; reiterated his views regarding recent railroad legislation; protested against the infringement by one branch of the government of the rights of another branch; declared that the representatives of the people in congress are accountable only to the people and are not "properly subject to any other influence," denied the right of anyone except his constituents to call him to account, and sounded a note of warning against increased surveillance of business men who need no "moral regeneration." A large audience greeted him with rounds of applause and the effort of the Taft people in the state to corral anti-Foraker people and increase the number by "bulling" the Ohio "market" with a subsidized and vilifying daily and weekly press, received a set-back from which it has not as yet recovered nor will recover. The senator gave his enemies a vital body-blow that was pleasing indeed to his many thousands of friends and admirers throughout the state and country. The Taft "noise" in Ohio, of the aforementioned subsidized press, is but that of the proverbial "empty wagon" as the near future will disclose. The following is the part of the senator's great speech of most interest at this time to our people: "Another session of congress has just closed. There were numerous measures pending and acted on with which the president was prominently identified. So far as I can recall, I supported every one of them. There was one matter, however, about which I have taken a different view from him. I have been a member of the members of Co's B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry on account of the shooting affray at Brownsville, Tex. This was an incident, not a policy. But it was an incident of such character that I felt it my duty as a representative of the people of Ohio to do with respect to it what I have done. "It was charged—and the president was made to believe—that certain men of the Twenty-fifth infantry had made a murderous midnight assault upon the sleeping men, women and children of Brownville; that they had 'shot up' the town, as the expression goes, and that they had killed one man and wounded another and put in jeopardy the lives of many. He believed that this was done by a few but that others of the battalion knew and refused to disclose the identity of the men who did it. As a result he ordered that the whole but should have been dismissed without honor, the innocent and the guilty alike; the guilty because they were guilty, the innocent because they could not be distinguished from the guilty. "Among these men were old soldiers who had seen many years of service." Their services had been honest, faithful, gallant and distinguished. One of them had served continuously for 26 years. In 15 months more he could have retired on a pension for life. His service had been rendered not only on the frontiers of this country, but in Cuba and in the Philippines. It had covered both war and peace. In all that long period not one single black mark had been registered against him. He had never been court-married. He had never been married to a man he had even reemplained. On every one of his numerous discharges it was recorded that his character was excellent and that his services had been efficient: "His case is but an illustration, in a little stronger, degree, of many others. A number had served more than 20 years; many of them almost 20 years; all had acquired distinct and valuable rights, and all these rights were swept away from them in an instant by an executive order, which put them all alike in common disgrace, and sent them adrift among their countrymen whom they had done so much to defend, branded as criminals who had either participated in the shooting, or who had become accessories after the fact, by protecting criminals who had. "Friends had been given no opportunity to be heard. It seemed to me that no man in this country was so humble that he should not be given a day in court somewhere or at some place, to make his defense or comfort, to his accusers, and refute the testimony against him and especially should soldiers have the benefit of such a hearing. "I believed that this was their right under the constitution. I did not believe that even the president, as commander-in-chief of the army, had power to deprive them of this right. "But without regard to that question I felt that they should have this opportunity. I secured it for them." In Union There Is Strength. It was a long, hard contest in the senate which resulted in the adoption of a resolution ordering an investigation. I spoke repeatedly in favor of the proposition, but the record will be searched in vain to find one word of disrespect toward anybody from the president down to the humblest man signing in any way in connection with the matter. It was with me simply a great, broad question of constitutional power on the one hand and constitutional right on the other. It has been said that it was an effort to secure the Negro vote. It tries the patience to answer such charges—but that claim might be disposed of, one would think, by the simple statement that for more than 30 years I have been honored with that vote almost to a man, and simply because, as in this case, I have always uphold their rights under the constitution and the laws. "The investigation has been in progress. It is not yet completed. I prefer not to speak of results until they have been fully determined, but, challenged as I am, I do not hesitate to say that the testimony so far taken justifies the investigation. I cannot here and now analyze the testimony, but it is enough to say that the evidence already taken warrants the belief that not a man in that battalion fired a gun. I do not believe any testimony can be secured that will refute anything that has been established. I am not alone in this belief. All the officers of that command, who at the beginning were by circumstantial evidence made to believe some of their men had been participants in the shooting, are now of the opinion—and have so testified—that all were innocent. "But, however all this may be, the men have had a hearing. They have been permitted to state their defense; and whether that defense prevail or not, it has been demonstrated that this is a government law, a government where the rights of citizens, no matter how humble they may be, shall be protected by the law, and under the law, and not a government under which, by autocratic and arbitrary orders and decrees, men may be dismayed and stripped of the most valuable rights they may place in the United States, where these sentiments should be indored more heartily than another it is here in Ohio; in the state that gave to the nation's galaxy of great men such defenders and advocates of human rights as Joshua R. Giddings, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, John Sherman and William McKinley. THEY WERE DEFEATED. By Secretary Taft's Notorious Speech —A "New" Newspaper Reporter Errs. April 15, 1967. Editor The Plain Dealer, City Editor The Plain Dealer, City. Dear Sir: My attention has just been called to the following in this morning's Plain Dealer: "Hon. H. C. Smith, proprietor of an Afro-American newspaper and a former member of the legislature, has not figured as an active factor in Ciyrahoga county politics for years." This is "news" to me, as I am sure it will be to active republicans throughout this city, county and state, where I have been "active" in the interest of my party for nearly a century, but the war last last a year, when the war was one of the local republican candidates for the legislature who went down to defeat with Gov. Horrick and the entire local republican ticket, with the exception of Probate Judge Hadden, principally because of Secretary War Wm. H. Taft's now notoriously famous or infamous (from a viewpoint) Akron speech. That is less than a year and a half ago, and can hardly be correctly covered by the expression, "for years." While the Plain Dealer is in error as regards the writer being other than an active factor in Ciyrahoga county politics, it is entirely correct in placing me in the Foraker column, where the great mass of loyal republicans of this state will be found when the time arrives for them to indicate the interests for them not for United States senator, but also for Ohio candidate for the presidential nomination in the national republican convention of next year. As a matter of fairness and justice to the writer, I ask the early publication of this communication. Very respectfully yours, HARRY C. SMITH. Bradford, Pa. Brevities. Defends Senator Foraker. Bellefontaine, O.—Judge William H. West, "the blind man eloquent" in a recently published statement praised Senator Joseph O'Reilly Foraker. He said the railroad rate bill is clearly unjustified and will so be proved when tested in the supreme court. "Roosevelt may have been right in his decision on the Brownsville shooting affair, but he took the wrong method, as everyone in this country is entitled to a judicial hearing," said the judge. He also stated that Foraker was the real author of the Elkins and Sherman anti-trust laws. Judge West was once attorney general of Ohio and a judge of the Ohio supreme court. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1907. PENROSE Says Our Soldiers Are Innocent. CITIZENS BLAMED! By Capt. Lyon—Soldiers Kept Out of Brownsville—More Strong Testimony! Special to The Gazette. Washington, D. C.-Cant. Samuel P. Lyon, of Company D, Twenty-fifth infantry, was the only witness examined on the 3d in the Brownville investigation before the senate committee on military affairs. His personal view that our soldiers did not do the shouting attracted much attention. It was the finding of shells of the type used in Springfield rifles that had first caused the white officers of the Twenty-fifth infantry to believe their men guilty. Holds Citizens Responsible. Helds Citizens Responsible. Capt. Lyon gave it as his opinion that soldiers were not guilty of "shooting up" the town, but that the firing was done by the "rougher element" of citizens of Brownsville. He was examined at length by Senator Foraker concerning the events of the night of August 13, and was asked if he had participated in the attack upon the town. Replying that he had not, Capt. Lyon was then asked by Senator Overman, of Norfolk, who was then charged with doing the shooting. He said no charge had been against him, but undoubtedly some people in Brownsville thought the officers of the Twenty-fifth infantry must have known all about it, before and after the affray, and many persons seemed to think that Capt. Macklin may have been implicated. No material evidence was brought out in the direct examination of Capt. Lyon, except as it corroborated the sworn testimony of other witnesses. Experts Changed His View. On cross-examination Capt. Lyon admitted that he had been convinced of the guilt of the soldiers immediately after the shooting, but said that since their transfer to Fort Feno and their subsequent discharge, his opinion had undergone a gradual change. He said he was convinced finally that the men were not guilty by reading the report of experts who examined the shells picked up in Brownville. The portions of the report which caused him to decide the men were innocent were the that the experts identified with the shooting two guns which he knew had been in the arms' chest, where he was satisfied the men could see them, and that some of the shells shown, and that some of the shells shown, had been made to fire them. He included from the latter fact that the shells picked up up had been found on the range, and had been placed in the street by some one, but admitted that it was possible that the shells showing double marks might have been tried in two different guns on the night of August 13. He thought this unlikely, however, as the guns had been used some time previously, and were then in good working order. Major Penrose Was Awake. Major Penrose Was Awake. Testimony of unusual interest was given on the 4th, the chief witnesses being Maj. Charles W. Penrose, who commanded the soldiers, and Lieut H. G. Leckie, who was sent to Brownsville by Gen. McCaskey, commander of the department of Texas, to investigate the shooting. Maj. Penrose testified that he was awake when the firing began, on the night of August 13, and immediately dressed upon hearing two pistol shots from the road, he thought, in the vicinity of the guard house. His story as to the shooting, the call to arms and for formation and disposition of the companies during the succeeding hours tallied with that told by other officers. He testified to sending Capt. Company D to patrol the town and of his turn, accompanied by Mayor Combe and his brother, Joe Combe, and of their statement that soldiers had done the killing. After a general discussion between the Combes and officers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, Maj. Penrose said that the mayor asked to speak to him privately. In his talk the witness said that Mayor Combe told him that none of the men of the Twenty-fifth should be permitted to enter the town, as he could not be responsible for the actions of the citizens toward them. This applied to officers as well as enlisted men, as Mayor Combe said that the sight of a uniform might inflame the people. Maj. Penrose said he replied that he would allow none and neither would he allow a citizen to enter the garrison. He made an exception of the mayor and any citizen bearing letters from the mayor. Shells Changed His Mind. According to the testimony of Maj. Penrose, he did not believe his men had done the shooting until the following morning, when Capt. Macklin found the clips and shells outside the garrison wall, at the mouth of what is known as the Cowan alley. His feeling that the men were guilty was strengthened by not finding any marks of bullets in the barracks walls on the sides next to the town. The witness detailed his meeting with a citizens' committee on the morning of August 14, when a demand was made for the surrender of the perpetrators of the attack to civil authorities. He told the committee that as soon as the guilty men could be discovered he would surrender them, and that in the meantime he was taking every GAZETTE. precaution to prevent a recurrence of the firing. The latter statement was in response to questions at to what steps had been taken to insure against soldiers making another attack. Prior to the examination of Maj. Penrose, testimony was given by Maj. Joseph P. O'Neil, of the Thirtieth infantry, concerning tests at Fort McIntosh, to determine whether it is possible to distinguisht between white and Afro-American soldiers and Mexicans wearing khaki uniforms at night, at a distance of 50 feet or more. It was found impossible to distinguish them. Shots Not from Barracks. Shots Not from Barracks. Lieut. Leckie traced for the committee the - course taken by bullets which struck houses, and from the examination he made said that the shots could not have been fired from the barracks. While in Brownsville last October Lieut. Leckie visited Crixwell's saloon, on Elizabeth street, and the proprietor pointed out to him a bullet hole in the wooden awning, which he said had been made by a bullet fired on the night of August 13 by soldiers. Leckie said he told Crixwell that he was mistaken, as the hole had been made by a 44 or 45 caliber bullet. The argument followed resulted in digging out the bullet, which proved to be a large bullet, but bullet, which was not of the type used in the Springfield gun. During his visit the Springfield Lieut. Leckie was instructed to investigate the arrest and imprisonment of Allison, a former Afro-American soldier, who started the saloon for our soldiers after the arrival in Fort Brown of "The Black Battalion." He saw Allison, who had been in jail since last September, charged with assault with intent to commit murder upon an Afro-American brakeman. He then saw the brakeman, who denied that he had been assaulted, and said there was no foundation for the charges made against Allison. In Jail to Keep Silence. Lieut. Leckie said Allison told him that he believed he was in jail so that he could not testify in the investigation being conducted by the senate committee. He knows "what that alleged "shooting up" of Brownville really was. Allison is still in jail, and will not be tried until next September. Taking up the evidence concerning the finding of bullet holes in several houses in Brownville, the witness declared that all of the 20 shots which struck the Cowan house from the rear, but he was certain the house could have been fired from the barracks. He said the same was true concerning the two bullet holes in the Garza house. He also gave his judgment concerning the positions occupied by men doing the firing of shots which struck the Martinez house, the Western Union Telegraph office and the Miller hotel. Most of the bullet holes examined by Lieut. Leckie were made by 30-caliber ammunition, he said. At the conclusion of his direct examination, Senator Warner asked that the testimony be printed before he cross-examined the witness. Oscar J. Macklo, a clerk in the quartermaster's department, corroborated the testimony of Leckie concerning the finding of the bullet at Crixell's saloon. Sergt. Norman McLiver, of Company K, Twenty-sixth infantry, which was at Brownville previous to the testified that he had heard that two soldiers were in and Wall, both white soldiers of Company K, Twenty-sixth infantry, had sold 150 rounds of ammunition to a man in Brownville three days prior to the departure of the Twenty-sixth infantry, but the witness could not identify the purchaser, nor could he say where either Case or Wall could now be found, both having left the service. Watch for Next Week's Gazette. Our letter next week will contain more strong testimony from Penrose, Leckie and other white officers of the Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth infanties, all in favor of the entire innocence of our soldiers of "The Black Baptalion," and showing conclusively who did do that shooting in Brownville on the night of Aug. 13, 1906. It is really astonishing how Secretary Taft and his war department and President Roosevelt have missed 167 innocent Afro-American soldiers, among the very best in every way in the entire army, some of them being among those who helped save the lives of Col. Roosevelt and his "Rough Riders" in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. GIVEN THE SALUTE So Popular at Chataquas, the Country Over, Were Senator Foraker and the Editor of The Gazette. Columbus, O.-The beautiful and comparatively spacious auditorium of St. Paul A. M. E. church, this city, was crowded last Sunday night with an audience that sat in eager attention upon the words of the Hon. Harry C. Smith for nearly an hour. When he sat down the calls for "more" was so prolonged that quiet was obtained and the quiet was had no time, because he intended to take a train soon for home. This was followed by an ovation and the waving of handkerchiefs (the "Chataquas" salute) all over the room. It is no disparage upon Mr. Smith to say that when at his suggestion a salute for Senator Foraker was started it went beyond the former bounds in enthusiasm. The speaker has made a thorough and careful study of his subject." He is not violent, prejudiced, narrow nor partisan in his conclusions, but is judicial, earnest, fearless and clear. Whilst pastor of our great church on Twenty-fifth in New York City, I found it a great help to frequently devote Sunday nights to the discussion of living issues and great questions of general concern, and sought and obtained the help of such men as Senator Bruce, Hon. J. M. Langston, ex-Ge. 'Punchback' Dr. B. T. Washing- (2) MR. GEE EXPLAINS. ton and many others of ability and fame, President Roosevelt, then police commissioner, also willingly rendered his services, as did many others of his class. I wish that the Hon. Harry C. Smith could be accrued to spend an hour at the Sunday night services of each of the leading churches of the west and deliver his able talk on "The Black Battalion." JOHN M. HENDERSON. Pastor St. Paul A. M. E. church, Columbus, O. The following is a clipping from the Columbus Ohio State Journal of Monday, April 15, 1907: NEGRO SPEAKER LAUDS THE SENIOR SENATOR Declares Foraker Is Opposed on Basis of Race Prejudice—Avers Innocence of Soldiers. "Before the end of the next winter there will come the vindication of the black baiting at Brownsville. The absolute innocence of every man will be proved. It will be shown that Companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth infantry never 'shot up' anybody or anything." Foraker Looms Up. In this interesting political crisis it is refreshing to find one republican—a solitary commanding figure—out in the open standing for something and unafraid; a statesman of convictions, of courage to express them, even if they do happen to run counter to the views of the powers that be. The Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio is that republican. He is the bravest man in public life today, outside the white house. Right or wrong as to Brownville or the railroads, he is challenging his country's admiration. He challenged it, a year ago. We have no doubt he challenges the admiration of the president himself. A manly man respects a manly foe. There is scant manliness, we regret to say, in the present day trend of republican politics. Call him a reactionary, if you like, but in the United States senate, when it comes to courage, Foraker looms up "the noblest Roman of them all"—Washington (D. C.) Herald. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. Answers His Former Partner's Recent Statement in The Gazette—Real Cause of Dissolution. In answer to the false statements made in last week's Gazette by Mr. Wills, I desire to say: First, in regard to the mortgage: This was thoroughly explained to Mr. Wills, that the mortgage was given in August of 1904 on a casket wagon alone, to the amount of $65, for Mr. King's use entirely, as I can prove. But when it fell due I paid it, as Mr. King had then left the city and the latter had settled with me when I purchased his interest in the business a few days later. So you see the firm could not have been insolvent, as Mr. Wills states, but was clear of debt. Mr. Wills states that I was not in business when he became my partner, yet my books will show at that time that I had the remains of Mr. Griffin and Mr. Townsend on the lay-out boards. I was not aware of the fact that I had been out of business since I began with Mr. King. If I was not in business, how could I take in Mr. Wills as a partner? I did not know that an insurance agent would can be employed to business. So again I say, Mr. Wills had been in business for years and had made no vantage in business until he became my partner. Mr. Wills he bought a half interest in the goods, but failed to state that he paid one-third of the amount cash and the other two-thirds after the business had made it. But I had to pay cash for said goods. He states that I refused to pay but a little over one-fourth the purchase price. He requires to state that he wanted $155 for his share. I offered to sell my interest to him in said goods for $130. He refused to give said amount, but contracted to give said amount, for $11k, feeling he had paid all my worth, Mr. Geo W. Johnson, at my request, filling out the contract to this effect. For this sum I am now forced to sue in order to collect it, as he has refused to pay it. He states that we passed examination at the same time, but forgets to state that I had had practical experience in the work before the examination, while he had embalmed a body before becoming my partner, if his word can be relied upon. Mr. Wills spoke of paying half of the rent been on Newton street, I paid Mr. Wills a lord, $2 a month, while he (Wills) paid me 50 cents a month only, half the cost of desk space. Mr. Wills states after one month of his influence the business increased so we were forced to provide a place to hold funerals and keep our goods, when our books will show the first funeral held at his home was March 2, 1905 and the first bill of goods that required store-room was bought May 15, 1905. Mr. Wills counts largely on his influence. If others feel the same way his new venture can but be a crowning success. Yet one truth Mr. Wills did tell. My wife has always felt she would rather not have the business at her home and her wishes I shall not respect. But Mr. Wills was not forced to take it to his home, as I was willing to take it to his office, as I was not forced to suit Mr. Wills. He thought his home the best sight on the avenue, I agreed, and hold the rent charged for the same. In regard to furniture: Mr. Wills told me he was going away in February to California to afford to care to go with an expense for so care a time it but offered to buy a half interest in his few pieces of furniture. He refused to sell. Then I offered to pay for the same. This he received so I then bought what was necessary and felt that I had done my duty. Wills failed to state that while at Mastic City five weeks he left no one in his place to help, but was away looking after insurance business for which he received his per cent. This brought no aid to me. We had agreed to take a week's vacation and share equally, not five. I used his home once, for which I paid him $5. He spoke of my vacation in June one week, but failed to state that he spent over two weeks the following and shared equally with me on his return. Mr. Wills says he agreed to get two horses, Mr. Geo W. Johnson heard him say we agreed to get a horse, not horses. He claimed they cost $480. I had only his word for this until March 26. As I had told him to look around for a horse, I agreed to pay $120, a half interest in one horse, furnish stable, one-third of feed and care for same, and he two-thirds of teed. Was this not fair? I refused to pay $240 for such a horse. I think any sane man will refuse to get a man spend $240 of his money without even asking his opinion. Mr. Wills states he wired me to place $100 to his credit, but failed to state that I had to put $225 to his credit to make good the amount of his check. I feel sure had I let Mr. Wills use his mind to give his mind a fine fellow, but my refusing to do so made me a cheap man in his opinion. Hence he prefers the partnership of his two little boys, one less than 7 and the other about 12. Poor little boys! I paid Mr. Wills for the use of the horses for every trip with the casket wagon. I paid for his coach as I would for any other. Our books show this. I received no profit from this coach when out for others. Yet I must help pay his man, to be a good fellow in his mind. It strikes me since Mr. Wills felt his burden so heavy, it would have been far better to have sold the horses, as he claimed to me a man offered him $600 for the team. What think you? This reasoning sounds like the man on the horse with the sack of corn on his shoulders. When asked why carry the load on his shoulders instead of putting it on his horse, he remarked that he did so to lighten the burden on the horse. Mr. Wills would rather buy a team Great judgment that. Yet he feels hurt because I will not let him think for me. I leave it to the public to decide who is right. I have only told the truth and can prove the same by both books and witness. Mr. Wills says he wrote his article reluctantly. No wonder! WM. W. Gee.

One Year. $5.50 Six Months. 1.00 Three Months. 5.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- ence money order or registered letter. Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio & second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. Member Ohio Legislature. 1804 to 1808. 1806 to 1808. 1800 to 1802. Cleveland, Saturday, April 20, 1907. 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. Tom Watson, the blatant southern populist, now editor of a magazine at Atlanta, Ga., gave an exhibition Sunday on a railroad train between that city and Augusta, when he struck an Afro-American porter in the face with his satchel because the latter dared to undertake to help explain a condition which excited no one else on the train except Watson. This is charistic these days of the "chivalrous, cultured and refined" southerners loaded down with racial prejudice and sometimes with "booze." He and Ben Tillman have something coming from Afro-Americans which some recklessly brave member of the race will hand to them some day. Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi, has started in to "strangle" Alcorn A. and M. college, our state institution at Rodney, Miss. The governor is chairman of the board of trustees and of course appoints the other members of the board. Therefore it will be a very easy matter for him to accomplish his object. He has caused the salaries of all the teachers in the literary departments to be reduced to such an extent as to almost drive them from the institution, and has caused a corresponding increase in the teachers' salaries in the institution's agricultural and industrial departments. Vardaman holds that the Afro-American's hands and feet should be educated rather than his head. This is characteristic of prejudiced southern whites, these days. Our people of this community will learn with sorrow that one of our ministers and several other members of the race are being used by Secretary Shurteff (white), of the local Y. M. C. A., in an effort to establish a "Jim crow" Y. M. C. A. somewhere on Central avenue between Browniell street and Case avenue. It is high time that leading Afro-Americans of this community were up and doing, and that this shameful effort be speedily stamped out. Nearly if not quite all of the few members of the race who are promoting the color line effort, under Shurteff's guidance, are practically new-comers in the city, and ought to be the last to take the initiative in any progressive movement, to say nothing of such a retrogressive one. We learn that there have been frequent conferences at the Y. M. C. A. in recent weeks. President Roosevelt knows, as well as every other intelligent republican, that no national convention of the party would be foolish enough to nominate as its candidate for the presidency Secretary Taft, against whom is arrayed, and very properly, too, the Afro-American vote and the labor organizations of the entire country and their friends and sympathizers. He is simply using Taft here in Ohio as a "stalking horse" or blind for the purpose of driving the one man (Senator Foraker) from public life, who has been brave enough in the United States senate and out of it, particularly at the Gridiron club's dinner at Washington, D. C., some weeks ago, to differ from the president and win contests from him, and also to impress every fair-minded man in this country with the fact that he is infinitely the president's superior in point of ability, experience and a broad humanitarian spirit. THAT TYLER APPOINTMENT. President Roosevelt's appointment of Ralph W. Tyler, of Columbus, to the position of fourth auditor of the treasury, Washington, D. C., but agravates the situation in Ohio as far as he and our people are concerned. Tyler, who for years has posed as a newspaper man, but in reality has been nothing else but a stenographer in the employ of the proprietors of the Columbus Dispatch and the Ohio State Journal, is the most unpopular and most generally disliked member of the race in the city of his residence, Columbus, and throughout the state of Ohio. While our people under ordinary circumstances are grateful to the president for such official recognition, this appointment of Tyler comes at such a time and in such a way as to produce just the opposite feeling in the minds and hearts of all the loyal Afro-Americans of the state of Ohio. There is absolutely nothing the president or anyone else can do at this time to weaken in the smallest degree their unfinishing loyalty to their greatest and best friend, SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER. And the president might just as well recognize this fact now, as he will surely be forced to do later on. Equally true is it that no power save Divine power could possibly intervene at this time with our people in the interest of his secretary of war, Taft, as against Judge Foraker. The former's endorsement of disfranchisement in his Greensboro, N. C., speech of last year, and his indefatigable efforts to prove those innocent men of "The Black Battonion" guilty of a crime they never committed, and of withholding knowledge of participants which they never possessed—crimes the president has charged them with and for which he has punished them, is quite enough. The writer has talked to his people in almost every large community from Lake Erie to the Ohio river throughout eastern Ohio since the 6th day of last month and will cover all of our communities in the state in a like manner just as soon as it is possible. If we were not positive of the facts stated in the foregoing sentences prior to our lecture tour, we certainly are now. Every Afro-American—man woman and child—in Ohio stands with Senator Foraker in this contest and will continue to do so until the end. One hundred appointments of Ohio Afro-Americans to high official position would not alienate them from their aggressive friend, the senior senator of the state of Ohio. There is absolutely no question as to this, and we want our and all other people all over the country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the lake to the Gulf, to know it. DEBS' OPINION OF TAFT This is part, of Eugene V. Debs' opinion of Taft: "Taft is a man after Roosevelt's own heart. Among his early acts as a judge he fined the bricklayers of Cincinnati $2,000 for going on a strike; he was next whirled to Toledo by special train and ordered by the Toledo, Ann Arbor & North Michigan railroad to issue an injunction binding and gagging its striking engineers and firemen and locking their leader up in jail, and he compiled with alice and the rest that he built. He smooth sailing for the accommodating judge and there is not a bloated plutocrat in the land who would not hail with joy the election of William Taft as president; he would be almost as acceptable to those vultures as Roosevelt himself." Bishop Turner Challenges Tillman. Atlanta, Ga.-At. a mass meeting held here Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the vigilant reform band, an organization for the purpose of bringing better understanding between Bishop Sisiah H. M. Turner of the A. M. E. church, declared that enough innocent Negro blood had been shed to drown congress, the supreme court and President Roosevelt; that the courts were keeping our people in subjection. He bitterly assailed Senator Tillman, ending by challenging him to a test before a jury of his own picking as to the relative refinement and education of himself and the senator, openly declaring that he was willing to be hanged if he failed to win the verdict. He declared all laws and legislation favored the white man. His utterances were wildly cheered by the large crowd. There was only one white man on the platform, a Boston minister.

Nowadays we hear so very much talk about presidential candidates. Among those who have been mentioned for the honor are Secretary of War Taft, Secretary Shaw, Senator Foraker and Vice President Fairbanks, insofar as the colored voters are concerned, they will not support Mr. Taft under any circumstances, but might support Shaw and Fairbanks if nominated, but Senator Foraker is the man that they will support to the very last, not because they believe that he would show them any unusual favors, but would give everybody a square deal and see that the constitution was upheld. Foraker is the man!—Portland (Ore.) Advocate. A Real Problem. If the Negro is satisfied with the Virginia disfranchisement "jim crow" law, the continual inflow of half Negro children without the marriage vow, and with "white supremacy"—right or wrong, then there is no race problem. We beg to inform Gov. Swanson that the Negro is not and never will be satisfied with such conditions. The best Negro is not fighting and grumbling much, but he is making a quiet struggle in God's name, to some day break down such injustice. The American Problem. "Jim Crow" Car Nets $3,500.

Mary Baker G. Eddy, filed March 1, was not brought in good faith by the so-called "next friends" named in the suit, is contained in the answer of the defendants in the action, which was filed Wednesday in the Merrimack county superior court.

As to Interstate Passengers The Niagara movement has established in Virginia courts the fact that under the present statute of that state it cannot fine an interstate passenger who refuses to be "Jim Crowed." Can the railway company, however, refuse to transport such a passenger? This must be determined by the Court, which entered by Messrs. Carter, Morgan and Hawkins, of the Niagara movement, and C. I. Simms, of the District of Columbia. A $100,000 Janitor Goldfield, Ney—John Jones, the Afro-American janitor of the Montezuma club, is worth more than $100,000.

Attributes Her Excellent Health to Peru-ua. 1910 MRS. W. H. SIMMONS, 1119 E. 8th St., Kansas City, Mo., member of the National Annuity Association, writes: "My health was excellent until about a year ago, when I had a complete collapse from overdoing socially, not getting the proper rest, and too many late suppers. My stomach was in a dreadful condition, and my nerves all unstrung. I was advised by a friend to try Peruana, and eventually I bought a bottle. I took it and then another, and kept using it for three months. "At the end of that time my health was restored, my nerves no longer needed medication, and once more I was able to assume my position. I certainly feel that Peruana is deserving of praise." There are many reasons why society women break down, why their nervous systems fail, why they have systemic or especially limbic tie to these alimenties. My danger they require the protection of Peruana. It is their shield and safeguard. Clever Trick of Tramp. causing much amusement in Paris. A laborer named Bedasne, living at Ymnoville, in the Euro et Loir, went to Melun in two pounds in his pocket. Having spent this in liquor, he conceived the idea of getting on to Paris for nothing. Finding an empty third-class compartment, he fastened a flannel belt round his neck, stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth, pitched his empty purse onto the opposite seat and, lying down, first had a sleep and then, when Paris's was reached, refused to give any sign of life till the alarmed station staff poured a cordial into his mouth. Then he was taken to a hospital, where he told a story of being attacked by three men, but police questions becoming too difficult, he at last related his stratagem, and was hailed from his sick bed to prison.—London Globe.

WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. By Toning up the Blood and Nerves Pa- tient. Recruitment. Strength and Good Spirits When the nervous system is broken down from overwork, or whatever cause, life loses its joys.

W, Munroe of 16 Hazel Park, Everett, Mass. says: "About four years ago this September I became all run down from overwork and from confinement to work during warm weather. For two months I grew steadily worse. I lost in weight and strength and had no appetite. My memory failed me quite state, both physical and mental. I took no interest in life, neither in business nor recreation. In my position, as foreman in a large manufacturing chemist's establishment in Boston, a good memory is absolutely essential to success because of the immense amount of detail that must be carried in the head. I grew very despairing, could not bear to have people meet me and my friend to meet me. About the middle of December a friend told me one day that he had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and found them reliable. I commenced taking them and at the end of two weeks the change for the better was remarked by friends. I continued using the pills until I was thoroughly recovered. I regard them as a fine remedy and make this statement for the benefit I received from them." These pills actually make new blood and have cured such diseases as rheumatism, nervous and general debility, indigestion, nervous headache, neurologia and neuritis, neuropathy, neocarditis ataxia.

Dandridge pastor, has secured possession of the brick church on the north side of Cedar avenue in the vicinity of Williams street, and will occupy it at an early date. The purchase price is said to be $9,000. J. H. Lewis, (fold No.) 686 Central avenue, (new No.) 3408 Central avenue, sells coal by the sack and ton. Also hard coal and coke.

Gee's explanation on the first page of this paper to-day. He very clearly defends his position, and his explanation explains. Have you noticed Mr. Gee's advertisement elsewhere in this paper? Call your friends' attention to it, please. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist, has given Antoich Baptist church $1,000 toward the purchase of a $2,000 pipe organ. This is some more splendid financial work for the church accomplished by its very efficient pastor and loyal race member Rev. Dr. H. C. Bailey. Good! The Gazette give you all the race news the country over every week—not a lot of paper. Read the live paper—the "Old Reliable Gazette," and subscribe for it, telling your friends and acquaintances to do likewise. Have you kept posted on the Brownsville, Tex., controversy? The editor of The Gazette lectured on "The Black Battallion" to large audiences in Mansfield on the 6th, Mt. Vernon on the 5th, and in beautiful new St. Paul's A. M. E. church (Rev. Dr. J. M. Henderson, former Boston, New York and Philadelphia pastor in charge) on Sunday evening last. He speaks in Springfield this week Friday evening and on Sunday and Monday evenings; for Rev. John W. Gazaway in Zanesville on Tuesday evening. Absolutely and by far the very best proposition submitted to the trustees of St. John's A. M. E. church is the one on the northwest corner of Case and Central avenues. A little ower 103 feet on Central avenue and 135 feet on Case avenue. This has a 12-foot alley on the west end of the property. There are four residences on this property, any one of which would make an excellent parsonage. can be had with or without the building for $1500. This proposition is infinitely preferable to the Cedar-Sterling avenue property and much cheaper. A letter read after the services last Sunday night from Mr. Andrew Carnegie offering to pay $1,000 on the new pipe organ, met with the highest approval of the pastor, officers and members, who feel grateful to Mr. Carnegie for his generosity in remembering even "the humblest out of the great store house" that the Almighty has made him steward of. After the reading of the letter the church manifested its appreciation by calling for a standing vote of thanks and prayed for the continued prosperity of the donor, and that his days may be many in the land which the Lord give him and may the world be better by him having lived in it. It would do the hearts of the members of St. John's church much good and make them swell with pride to enter the beautiful new St. Paul's A. M. E. church of Columbus, as did the editor of The Gazette last Sunday evening. Total cost finished, organ site $(6,000), the edifice constructed of the latest style and best brick with stone foundation, and all only $45,000, complete, and, too on a nice wide street. St. John's can only equal and surpass St. Paul's beautiful church by securing that Case-Central avenue site and benefiting by the experience to date of the Columbus church, its pastor and trustees. Send for Dr. Henderson! The President Should Not Dictate. Urbana, O.-M., and Mrs. C. J. Cochran gave a surprise in honor of their parents, Mrs. and Mrs. C. J. Jones, on the 12th. Revs. Coleman, Hart and Allen, Messens, Reese and T. Hill, Mesdanes Curry, Williams, Dunn, Jennings, Armfield, Adams and Cochran were present, Mr. Cochran was toastmaster. Luncheon was served. Valuable presents were received—Mrs. John Curtis, of Munce, Ind., visited her daughter at Curry institute last week—Mr. Chas. Johnson, a young man of wasted health, was restored to St. Paul's church Sunday, hand of fellowship extended and a collection taken for his benefit—Mr. Chas. Hedgepeth are ill. Bertha and Nellie Grant also have tuberculosis.—Rev. Coleman left Monday to spend a few days at home, Wilberforce.—Emma Loggins delivered two stirring addresses to the local B. Y. P. U. Sunday.—What became of Dr. Hart's choir Sunday night?—Mr. Burnett owns a model home.—Senator Foraker will hold his own in Ohio and is worthy of the highest honor within the gift of the American people. Mr. Rocevelt is a great man and has done well in the executive chair, but if he does not desire a third term he should not try to dictate a policy for the incoming administration or name his successor, but leave this to the good sense of his party and the American people. Any other step on his part is un-American and will not be approved by the people. A Card of Thanks. I take this method of thanking the many friends in Cleveland, Ohio, for their kind treatment of my brother, Will Jones, while sick in the above city. And especially to Rev. Dr. H. C Bailey, Mrs. Ira A. Collins, Mrs. J. M Gilmore, of the Benevolent club; Mrs. Mary B. Lewis, Mrs. Lizzie Roberts, the Anity club and others. May God send a blessing on these good people of Cleveland, and to Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, who secured proper care for my brother in the Cleveland City hospital, helped him before and during his illness, published appeals for assistance and notices of his sickness from time to time in his paper, and also gave an account of his death on the 10th alt. Also heartfelt thanks for the ballet and all the churches and others in Cleveland that contributed to the fund for the funeral and burial expenses. I shall never forget these kind Christian ladies and gentlemen. One who feels grateful to all MRS.

KINK·NE Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great topic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." SPECIAL OFFER.—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full-size bottle of Kink-ine, price 35 cents, one cake of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 25 cents, both for 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

BACKACHE AND DESPONDENCY Are both symptoms of organic disengagement, and nature's warning to women of a trouble which will sooner or later declare itself. How often do we hear women say, "It seems as though my back would break." Yet they continue to drag along and suffer with aches in the small of the back, pain low down in the side, dragging sensations, nervousness and no ambition. They do not realize that the back is the main-spring of woman's organism and quickly indicates by aching a disease condition of the renaline organs or kidneys, and that acnes and pains will continue until the cause is removed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has been for many years the most successful remedy in such cases. No other medicine has such a record of erase of feminine life. No longer Nail, Nagel, of 117 Morgan St., Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "I was completely worn out on and on the verge of nervous prostration. My back ached all the time. I had dreadful periods of pain, was subject to fits of crying and extreme nervousness, and was always weak and tired. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound completely cured me." Lydia E.

Encourage Saving. The wise father and mother will never discourage the fancies of their children for accumulating things. It is a natural instinct, inborn in the most of people, and given a little thought and care by the older heads may be turned to good account. If the child begins to collect "pretty" pebbles or shells at the seashore don't throw them out—but jet them form the basis of a little geological collection, and with proper guidance the youngster will soon be looking upon "sticks and stones" with an interested and educated eye. SPLENDID APRIL TONIC. Easily Prepared at Home and Harm- less to Use. This is known as "Blood-Cleaning Time," especially among the older folks, who always take something during this month to clean the blood of impurities and build it up. The following is the recipe as given by a well-known authority, and any one can prepare it at home: Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. Get these simple ingredients from any good pharmacy and mix by shaking well in a bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime. Everybody should take something to help the blood, which becomes impoverished and almost sour after the winter season, especially those who are subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kidney and Bladder trouble. It is said that one week's use of this mixture will clear the skin of sores, pimples or bolis. This is sound, healthy advice, which will be appreciated by many readers. HAD NERVE, BUT NO MONEY Unlucky Man's Modest Request for Pecuniary Assistance. Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian, while in New Orleans a few months ago, took the opportunity of going to the races. During the afternoon he cashed several tickets, the result of good guesses. He was feeling happy after the last race, and started for the automobile which was to convey him back to his hotel. As he was about to climb into the machine he felt a hand on his arm, and a man shouted in his ear: "Hello, Hitchcock, how are you? Hear you put a crimp in the bookies to-day." Hitchcock blushed and shock hands sheepishly, not recognizing the man, and not wishing to show it. "Say, I want to speak to you confidentially," said the stranger. "All right; what is it?" asked the comedian. "Well, I am up against some hard luck to day. They cleaned me and I want to get home. Now, don't let any one of these people see you, but slip me enough for car fare, will you?" "Sure," said Hitchcock, placing his hand in his pocket. Then he paused and queried: "Where do you live?" "Vancouver," was the answer. Hitchcock took a flying leap for his machine, and unless the visitors at New Orleans are more gullible, the imbecious one is still looking for car fare—Harper's Weekly. S ROMANTIC DEVONSHIRE. The Land Made Famous by Philpotts' Novels. Philpotts has made us familiar with romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating novels, "The River," "Children of the Mist," etc. The characters are very human; the people there drink coffee with the same results as elsewhere. A writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill, Blideford, North Devon, states: "For 30 years I drank coffee for breakfast and dinner but some 5 years ago I found that it was producing indigestion and heart-burn, and was making me restless at night. These symptoms were followed by brain fag and a sluggish mental condition. "When I realized this, I made up my mind to quit drinking coffee and having read of Postum, I concluded to try it. I had it carefully made, according to directions, and found to my agreeable surprise at the end of a week, that I no longer suffered iron, either indigestion, heart-burn, or bryng, and that I could drink it at night and secure restful and refreshing sleep. "Since that time we have entirely discontinued the use of the old kind of coffee, growing fonder and fonder of Postum as time goes on. My digestive organs certainly do their work much better now than before, a result due to Postum Food Coffee, I am satisfied. "As a table beverage we find (for all the members of my family use it) that when properly made it is most refreshing and agreeable, of delicious flavor and aroma. Viiglance is, however, necessary to secure this, for unless the servants are watched they are likely to neglect the thorough boiling which it must have in order to extract the goodness from the cereal."

The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions to cure all manner of ills, and the The Value and Importance of Ethical Remedies. Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts. To gain the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The perfect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture, known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading drummers throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D.

Swan River, Manitoba, Nov. 21, 1906. Two weeks ago we gave an account of the prosperity of a farmer in Western Canada, and this week we reproduce another. "I have been asked regarding this year's work on my farm, and I here with willingly submit the following statement: "Three years ago I purchased an improved farm of 185 acres on Section 9, Township 36, Range 27 west of the First Meridian—two miles from the town of Swan River. "I plowed and cropped 122½ acres of land during this year (1906), 80 acres in wheat, 30 acres in oats, and 12½ acres in barley. "The cost of putting in and taking off this crop this season is as follows: Cash paid for blue stone...$ 1.50 Cash paid for binder twine... 90 Cash paid for hired help... 125.00 Cash paid for threshing... 175.00 Total ..... $ 340.00 "Receipts for the year as follows— 80 acres of wheat (yielded 30 bushels per acre)—Total, 2,400 bu. 30 acres of oats (yielded 46 bushels per acre)—Total, 1,200 " 1 stack of oats in sheaf ..... 200 " 12½ acres barley (48 bu. per acre) ..... 600 " Crop potatoes ..... 300 " Hay, tons ..... 15 Sold. 1,168 bu. wheat at 62c ..... $ 724.16 1,232 bu. wheat in granary at 62c ..... 763.84 300 bu. barley at 35c ..... 105.00 300 bu. barley in granary at 35c ..... 105.00 1,200 bu. oats in granary at 25c ..... 300.00 100 bu. potatoes at 30c ..... 30.00 200 bu. potatoes in root house at 30c ..... 60.00 1 stack of oats in sheaf for feed ..... 50.00 15 tons of hay at $3.00 ..... 45.00 Garden roots and vegetables ..... 30.00 Total ..... $2,213.00 Cost of above, besides my own labor ..... 340.50 Balance ..... $1,872.50 I have in all, 125 acres ready for crop next year, including 10 acres cleared and broken this season.

Benefit of Modern Machinery It is estimated by the department of agriculture that last year's crop was produced and gathered at a saving of $685,000,000 over what would have been the cost of raising an equal crop 50 years ago. This saving was accomplished by the use of modern agricultural implements—Farm Machinery.

Clever Work of Detective Revealed the Thief. The robbery of the sub-treasury in Chicago recalls the fact that the treasury department in Washington was the victim of a $40,000 theft about 30 years ago. At first, although no reasonable explanation of how the thing could have been done by an outsider could be given, it was assumed that it was the work of some one unconnected with the office in which the robbery occurred. It was not long, however, before a clever detective became acquainted with the fact that one of the clerks who might have had access to the bundle of bills was acquainted with a professional gambler of shady antecedents. That discovery solved the problem. A little patient watching resulted in catching the gambler with the stolen notes, and the rest was easy. The clerk was arrested, and, while in confinement, was given to understand that he was betrayed, whereupon he confessed the robbery, which was accomplished by shoving the package of notes, all of large denominations, into a position where they could be "snaked up" with a cane provided with a hook. BABY WASTED TO SKELETON. In Tormentes with Terrible Sores on Face and Body—Tore at Flesh —Cured by Cuticura. "My little son, when about a year and a half old began to have sores come out on his face. They began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had I to tie his hands in clothes at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton and was hardly able to walk. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, and only for the Cuticura Remedies my precious child would have died from these terrible sores. I used only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon. R. F. D. No. 1, Woodville, Conn., April 22, 1905." Priests at Humble Labor.
