THE The NEW PINAFORE DRESS THE LADY AND THE LADY The new phafoare dress is not becoming to all women, but it is exceedingly popular. The two costumes which are shown above are quite ideal. The seated damsel is decorating a gown of puce and green shot taffeta, with a broad hem bearing raised appliques of silk outlined with embroidery, the same adornment being evident in the front of the bodice, which has the broad Japanese sleeve, while the neck shows a square of lace, and the broad-brimmed hat is of puce-colored straw with variegated anemones as trimming. Biscuit-colored cloth is the material chosen for dress No. 2, with thick guipture to form the center panel and the small V at the neck, the bodice being further ornamented with bold fill-greee buttons. The hat of brown chip bears tulle and feathers as its trimming, and takes deliberately that back. A PRETTY CAPE CORSAGE. A dress in gray volle, trimmed with tuckings of the material; cape-corsage over a lace blouse.. Chip hat with ostrich feathers. ward tilt which gives the talent of the hairdresser much opportunity for expression. A marked effect of the season's frocks are their soft, clinging character. The corsetel is making but little show in the new models; it proved too trying a style for any but perfect figures, and needed such excellent making. Nor do the promised long, tight-fitting coats seem as yet to make much headway. The prevailing style is certainly a deep swathed belt with a short, loose boiler coat over hanging it, for the softer and more dressy materials; and for the tailors' materials a little basqued coat, with the lower edge of the basquec scarcely turning the hipline, and the apparent waist several inches higher. The tendency, you see, continues to be rather towards the high-waisted style that we call the New Empire fashion (though not much like the Napoleonic outline in truth) and not in the direction of the long-waisted, close-fitting corsage, which gets itself periodically predicted, but does not arrive. Still, although the waist-line is made high by swathed belt or curved-in cut of coat, the lower edge of the belt is kept well down, or the deepest line of the basque sits juntly out at the hips, so as still to retain a rather long-waisted effect. But if the shape of the corsage as regards the waist is but little modified so far from what it was in the winter, there is a very decided new note at another point: the necessary up-todateness of your frock will reveal itself at the shoulder. For the dress-sleeve proper now reduces itself to practically an epaulette—a very short puff at the utmost—and the sleeve that actually covers the arm to the elbow comes out of the arm-hole as a distinct affair, making believe, as it were, to appertain to an under-blouse, even though no blouse be there. This is described as "kimono" fashion, though with not much more exactitude than the existing short-waisted style is "Empire." However, the Japanese "kimono" cut is the idea, the original model, from which these new shoulder and armhole effects have "evoluted;" that is certain. The shoulder cut all in one with the front of the bodice, thus giving a very long effect on the top of the shoulder, and the extremely wide and low cut under armhole, make a very characteristic feature in the new models, and fulfill the object of our dictators, the dress-producers, in compelling us to restock our wardrobes. As an sleeve-sleeve, appearing out of the wide, full, and often draped epaulted sleeve, there usually comes, to reach to the elbow only, a puff of some fancy or fragile and delicate fabric, as lace, broderie Anglaise, soft satin, embroidered gauze, or plated tulle. This undersleeve is made of the more fragile fabric, *frespective of whether that is used elsewhere on the dress*, although, as a general rule, more or less of the material of the sleeve will be seen introduced somehow. The effect of the "kimmon" cut, with the lighter sort of undersleeve coming out of the wide arnhole, is naturally much the same as it would be if there were a separate blouse being worn, to which the under-sleeves belonged; and in fact this is the case sometimes, the corsage being a bolero without any more sleeves than the "kimmon" cut gives, and a blouse is worn beneath, showing down the front and as the elbow sleeves. Frequently, however, the whole corsage is in one, and a yoke, or a vest down the front, or only a V at the throat, is of the same material as the sleeves, all placed on one fitted lining with the rest of the bodice.

The talk turning to play at the Casino, Mr. Higgins described an incident that he had witnessed the night before. "In one of the gold rooms," he said, "a gentleman in lavender gloves was playing in wonderful luck, winning nearly every stake. As a great stack of plaques—you know those beautiful, big gold pieces called plaques—was pushed to him by the croupler I heard a young lady whisper in his ear: "It's very odd, monsieur, to wear gloves at play. What do you do it for? Luck?" "The fortunate player smiled grimly. "Not at all," he replied. "I promised my wife on her death bed never again to touch a card." In Union There is Strength. GA 45. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1907. FEARSTHE MAN ON HORSEBACK Ohio's Senior Senator Gets a Most Enthusiastic Ovation in Steubenville. Steubenville, O., May 30 — The presence of United States Senator Joseph Benson Foraker here made to-day's Memorial day exercises the most important held for a quarter of a century. Senator Foraker captured the people by his magnetic personality and eloquence in his speech at the soldiers and sailors' lot in the Union cemetery this afternoon, where several thousand people were gathered. All concede that it was a shrewdly able speech. The senator's friends are jubilant over his presentation of matters of dispute between him and the president in a way that commanded attention. While he did not mention President Roosevelt or directly refer to him, the senator issued a warning against the "man on horseback," saying that this country might yet suffer the fate of Mexico, and depended on the government to deplore the tendency to the executive branch of the government overshadow the legislative, and urged the more careful adherence to the constitution. When Senator Foraker arrived this morning he was given a big demonstration at the Pan Handle depot, where 500 people were gathered. Nearly 100 of them were prominent colored citizens, who greeted him as they would an emancipator. Foraker leaders from all over the Sixteenth district who were here for a conference were present to greet him. After the speech Senator Foraker held a leave at the hotel, where he met scores of friends and political leaders. He received a number of invitations to speak, which he has taken under advisement. To-night Senator Foraker greeted the greatest of the opera audience, where he told army stories at a veterans' campfire. After paying many*tributes to the old soldiers, especially Ohio military heroes, the senator turned to the discussion of national questions, saying: "There is a practical unanimity of sentiment in favor of the general policy of efficiently regulating trusts, railroads and large corporations—especially those engaged in inter-state commerce, but there are many honest differences as to details. Are they to be impatiently brushed aside as not in harmony with somebody's policy, or are they to be carefully considered? Much legislation has been enacted to accomplish this general purpose upon which we are all agreed. A part of this legislation has been put to the test and found efficient and beneficial. Some of it has not yet been tried. Until it has been, we shall not be able to judge intelligently as to the relative merits of the severance of our law, we now have in force or as to what further legislation, if any, we may need. "Mere difference of opinion is not unfortunate. Rather the reverse is true. Public views arouse discussion, and public views intelligent discussion. In fact, we must safeguard in legislation is found that freedom of debate in which independent and conscientious legislators engage. It should not be condemned but encouraged. Not infrequently those who oppose and criticize good measures that are proposed da a greater service in pointing out objections that should be removed and weak points that should be strengthened than the advocates of such measures. "That we must act carefully and wisely and patrolitically in dealing with public affairs all will agree; and yet it is becoming an everyday occurrence to hear and read expressions of impatience not only because somebody insists upon time for consideration and debate, but also because of constitutional restraints that interfere with freedom of action, coupled not unfrequently with suggestions that no great harm would be done if in this, or that, or the other particular case, they should be disregarded. "Those who fought to save the constitution may be pardoned for entering a protest against this tendency. The American people do not need to be rushed. Their disposition is to go too fast rather than too slow. If allowed to proceed in their own way, they will not only meet every requirement, but they will be able to find that all governmental power necessary to be invoked can be exercised consistently with the letter as well as the spirit of our constitution; and this should be insisted upon. "If we tolerate the idea that we may lightly evade, or disregard its provisions under supposed emergency, and upon the theory that the good that can be secured will more than ever balance the harm that may be done, and the affair, without chart or compass. Then it is that 'the man on horseback will be due to arrive. "We have been singularly fortunate in always having a patriotic, liberty loving man in the White House, from whom no such danger could be apprehended, but the time may come when it will be different. We cannot GAZETTE. hope to always escape misfortunes We must, therefore, reckon against the possibilities, and among them is always the chance that evil days may overtake us in that respect as they have always overtaken other nations. We have an object lesson in the experience of Mexico. She is probably more prosperous and happy under Diaz that she could be under any marvelous and most successful of the world's rulers, but so far at least as the choice of her president is concerned, Mexico is no longer a republic, except only in name. "The average American scouts the idea of any such danger for us, but the average American is so busily occupied with his own affairs that he does not fully realize how many and how dangerous are the abuses of power. A class of announcements appearing in the newspapers almost daily prompts the mention of one of the greatest but least appreciated—the prostitution of public patronage. The average American would indigently resent any effort to improperly influence him which he would recognize as such, but would regard an assignment of official duty of almost any character as only a natural and deserved recognition of his ability and fitness for the public service, for which he as a man of honor should feel duly grateful and stand ready to repay in kind. Knowledge of these facts cures of public men. Unless they are the pointing power they fear they may be out of favor with their constituents. "For an unscrupulous executive, if we should ever be so fortunate as to have one, this is a dangerous weapon with which to enforce his will on not only unwilling members of other departments of the government, but upon all who make public sentiment. Fear on the one hand and hope of favor on the other, combine to aid his purposes. This power has been recently greatly augmented and is all the time growing. "But we need not be pessimistic on this account, for over against the possibilities of such danger we may be assured that such an attempt, if recognized by the people, would be promptly rebuked. It would succeed only if unrecognized. The intelligent thinking men of this great republic will not only a repetition hero of the Mexican sovereign. Any man whom they shall have placed in power may well trust them to name his successor, and if he should not they would find a way to impress on him that they are sovereign and that he should be content to trust them as they have trusted him."

The following is from the Hardin County Republican (daily), of May 21, published in Kokomo and alluded to doubt prove interesting to The Guzette's thousands of readers throughout Ohio particularly, and the country in general; "If there were uniformed men seen in Brownville that night, they may have been disguised citizens. Soldier uniforms, ammunition, rifles and all else necessary were bought or secured from the white regiment that had been previously there. Through graft army rifles and cartridges, etc., were easily secured by citizens and other residents of Brownville. The evidence before the senate committee on military affairs not only does not prove the black soldiers guilty of shooting the black men, it proves the men innocent of the charge. Velt velt was too impulsive as an officer in the war. He was too impulsive and ill-advised when he signed the discharge of these soldiers. I don't believe he meant to injure the black men, and the fault I find in him in this matter is too great impulsiveness. Secretary Taft is upbuilding the president. He also winks at disfranchisement in the south. Therefore our people should never vote for Roocsvelt or Taft, at least until they make amends and start the right way. I will support Senator Foraker for anything he wants, and so will my people. (Thunderous applause.) We believe in republican principles rather than in republican individuals." His address Mr. Smith said in conversation, and I have望 be in republicanism, and I have望 be for Bryan. Indeed I would rather be for the devil than for Bryan, but I would vote for him in preference to Taft. Just in order to make my vote count two against an enemy of my race." Mr. Smith is organizing the 45,000 Negro voters of Ohio in support of Senator Foraker, who he said is much SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. abused and unjustly, too. He also said in his speech here Monday night that he was one of his people who asked Mr. Foraker to take up the cause of "The Black Battalion" and that the senator responded after looking over the evidence in their behalf carefully. After he had completed his address Mr. Smith roundly denounced Tillman, the anti-Negro democratic leader, and the accomplishment of Negro men of genius the world over. He plead for his people to be ladies and gentlemen at all times in public places. Soon after the alleged Brownsville riot Allison was arrested and has been in jail ever since a fictitious charge.

He referred copiously to the past and rung in all the changes on Negro heroism, achievements and attainments. Now and then in the course of his speech he struck keynotes which set the audience wild with applause. For instance, when he said that colored men who hold positions as representatives of their own people and support from their own people and refuted in movements for their advancement should be turned down. He struck the words "turned down" with so much force that the audience was fairly taken off its feet and cheered him to the echo.—St. Louis (Mo.) Advance. Brown-Bailey Marriage.

President Roosevelt has appointed fewer Afro-Americans to office than any other republican president. The Ohio Taft people are busy these days disclaiming any intention to fight Senator Foraker for re-election, and offering the olive branch. Too late, brethren. Webster says a Unitarian is: "One who denies the doctrine of the Trinity, believing that God exists only in one person." Secretary Taft is a member of the Unitarian church, according to a local daily Taft organ. "Nuff sed!" Let every loyal, race loving and grateful Afro-American in the state of Ohio who can possibly arrange to be at Wilberforce on June 20, be there to greet our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, on his arrival. Let there be such a gathering at the university's commencement on that day as the grand old institution of learning has never before had. Begin now to get ready to be at Wilberforce on Thursday, June 20. All members of the Ohio Afro-American league and the Foraker and other clubs affiliating with it, especially the members of the executive, state central and advisory committees of the league, are requested to meet Senator Foraker at Wilberforce on June 20, "Foraker Day." Begin now to arrange to be present on that occasion. Wilberforce's commencement exercises this year are exceptionally fine and the speech of Ohio's senior senator on June 20 will be superfine. Don't miss it! Encourage the organization of a Foraker club in your community to affiliate with the Ohio Afro-American League and then see that it adopts the league's anti-Taft resolutions and "Declaration of Principles." Let us get ready to battle for our great and good friend, Senator Foraker, even as he has fought for our soldier boys of "The Black Battallon," and for the race for a quarter of a century. THE OUTLOOK EXCELLENT. Senator Foraker's great Decoration day speech at Steubenville, especially that portion of it that deals with matters of national interest, was in one respect at least, like his Canton speech and several other utterances during May bearing particularly upon the political situation in Ohio, a great friend-maker and friend reviver. Every day sees improvement in the situation as far as he is concerned, until now the noisy, empty-wagon Taft forces are not only willing and anxious to properly concede the senator's re-election, but are also willing to promise other things political, if he will only promise to be good." A few weeks ago they were to shout elimination and threatening to efface Ohio's senior senator from the political map. It is very different now, and all because "the prince of leaders" has spoken for himself in no mistaken terms, not only once but several times, and then some. The outlook for his political future, as far as present indications are concerned, is perfectly satisfactory to those most interested, and as we said in the beginning of this article, it improves daily. By fall time everybody will be able to see and easily too, what seems perfectly clear to us at this time, and that is that the alleged Taft candidacy for the presidency is not a bona fide effort at least as far as the administration is concerned, but is a thing projected by the president for the sole purpose, if possible, of eliminating Senator Foraker from public life and ousting both Ohio's senators from the control of the republican organization of this state and thus to the control of the Ohio delegation to the next national republican convention. All this was possible if the white republicans of the state of Ohio had lost all local or state pride. This no sane man believed for a single moment, and yet what a tremendous amount of money has been spent in this state alone in the last two months with the newspapers and press only, to create the Taft racket and noise which was kept up to such a high degree and so incessantly for a number of weeks as to mislead a number of good people. The barrel must be empty or very nearly so, because the noise of the empty Taft wagon has practically ceased in the Buckeye state and people are able to sleep at nights, at last. However, on with the fight, Foraker adherents! THE TYLER APPOINTMENT. The circumstances surrounding the recent appointment of Ralph W. Tyler, of Columbus, Ohio, to the position of auditor for the navy department inseparably connect it with the Brownsville case. If, as generally regarded, it was intended as a mollifier or as an offset to the executive action taken in that case, or was designed to influence the colored voters in the expected contest for supremacy in Ohio—it seems to have signally failed. For almost without exception the race papers have derided, condemned, or resented it according to viewpoint and temperament. It has not in the least allayed irritation nor assugged ill-feeling, since many did not at a "slag" at Senator Foraker who for the time being stands in Charles Summer's shoes. Says the Boston Guardian: President Theodore Roosevelt has given fresh proof of his inborn contempt for colored persons, by his attempt to win colored votes against Senator Foraker in Ohio. He certainly places a cheap estimate upon us when he presumes that no matter how great and sacred the principle involved, colored men can be bought up by a few political jobs. With biting sarcasm it says: He is one of the sort of white man who dilate on the venality of the colored freedmen in the reconstruction period, one of those who harp upon and exaggerate their venality as an excuse for allowing them now to be inflicted in the south. Yet, when a second crisis record, colored the color's man ability to adhere to principle, we find him holding out the temptation to be venal, to sacrifice principle for the filthy mere of office. The whole race should resent this insult to it by the president. We, as a race, will receive and will merit the everlasting contempt of all white men if we place office before justice to our outraged soldiers. The race is on trial. If it falls to be true to such a champion as Foraker, especially when his political ruin is being sought because he has dared to demand justice for colored men, it brands itself as worse than contemptible. The Washington Be refers to the matter as "That Bait" and calls it "bad faith"—in fact denounces it as strongly as words allow. The Cleveland Gazette says it "but aggravates the situation in Ohio" and says the appointee was "the most unpopular and most generally disliked member of the race in the city of his residence"—in fact denounces the state of Ohio." The Columbus World and the Cincinnati papers, the Union, and the Brotherhood, severely condemn; the last named saying that the appointment, "with the Booker T, Washington influence behind it," will avail nothing—The Horizon, Washington, D.

I am glad to know that Steubenville has at last come to the front. They seem to be taking interest in the welfare of the race by taking The Gazette. Now let Wheeling wake up. I want to hear our people there and everywhere taking your paper because I think every city and town in Ohio and out of it should have it. I see my old homestead, Cadiz, is still in the ring, Old Cadiz is small, but seems to stay in the swim. I read their letter very carefully and received a letter from Mrs. Jesse Snowden, of Steubenville, cannot express in words how glad I will be when I see how the old town was booming. All the soldiers are down town this evening, but everybody is well as usual, Well, Dec. 15, 1907. I will sall for home. Everybody here is trying to get ready to have a fine time when they reach the states. Remember me to our Wilberforce, Wheeling, Steubenville, Wellsville and East Liverpool people, and of course to those in my dear old home, Cadiz. I wish all every success and God-speed.

Last fall, a year ago, the writer was a candidate on the republican ticket for a fourth term in the Ohio legislature from this county. With the entire local republican ticket, with one exception, and the republican candidate for governor, Col. Myron T. Herrick, we were all sent down to delict as the result of a speech delivered at Akron by secretary of war, Wim H. Taft, and the reform cry of graft, directed by him and other persons against Geo. B. Cox, of Cincinnati. In plain words the effort to eliminate Cox from Ohio politics resulted in the defeat for re-election of Gov. Herrick (who did much to help himself down to defeat, we will admit) and hundreds of local republican candidates throughout the state. Now comes Mr. Cox with a suggestion that this same man, Taft, be endorsed by Ohio republicans for the republican nomination for the presidency next year, that Senator Foraker be endorsed for re-election to the United States senate and that Gov. Harris be nominated in the next republican state convention. His suggestion is alright as far as it has reference to Messrs. Foraker and Harris, but no amount of suggestions from him or any one else will secure for Secretary Taft the endorsement and support of self and race respecting Afro-Americans, particularly of Ohio, and President Brownsville Texas to Roosevelt and Secretary Disfranchisement Brownsville Taft, as well as Mr. Cox, might just as well know this now as later on. It will be easier to secure the united support of organized labor throughout the country for Taft that it will be to gain the favor for him of loyal Afro-Americans. THE TAFTS. The Taft family has never indicated any good interest in the Afro-American and does not now. Recently it was announced that "The Clansman," Tom Dixon's fire-brand prejudice play, was scheduled to appear at the Grand Opera House, Cincinnati. Charles P. Taft, Secretary Taft's brother, editor and publisher of the Cincinnati Times-Star, and manager of his brother's candidacy for the republican nomination for the presidency, owns the theater building. When leading Afro-Americans of that city called on him and asked him not to permit the dirty show to be put on in his theater, he refused to make any effort whatever to comply with their respectful, reasonable and very proper request. The result is "The Clansman" was produced at the Cincinnati Grand Opera House and the minds of many thousands of persons, already too thoroughly saturated with prejudice and hatred of the Afro-American, were poisoned even more against our people, if such a thing be possible. No wonder the Afro-Americans of Ohio spoke out so strongly against the alleged Taft candidacy and even those who are trying to promote it. With Brother Charles alding and abetting Tom Dixon's dirty work against the race with his infernal play, "The Clansman," and Secretary Taft out-Roosevelting Roosevelt in his effort to fasten the alleged Brownsville, Texas, riot crime upon "The Black Battalion," it is high time for others of our people beside those who live in Ohio to get busy along the same resolution line. NIAGARA MOVEMENT Time: August 20, 21 and 28. Occasion: Celebration of the 100th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. Three day program: One public demonstration. One social reception. A series of private conferences in committee groups. A pilgrimage. Rate: We shall arrange for a fare and a third, round trip, certificate plan. Nota Bene; (A) It is the first duty of every Niagara man to come to the annual meeting for inspiration and fellowship.

My ear is pained, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful 'Tis human nature's broadest, foulest biot. — Cowper "Greatly Excited!" Ravenna, O.-White people are much upset over the fact that Mr. Jonathan Proctor, a very successful and respected member of the race here, has bought the Williamson farm of 110 acres, which was sold at auction recently. A wealthy white man by the name of Richardson bid it in for $2,500. It was it for Proctor, Richardson was offered $2,700 more for it, but he refused. The farm is considered one of the finest in the county. FORAKER PRAISED! Splendid Declaration of Principles and Strong Anti-Taft Resolutions—The Ohio Afro-American League and Officers. Declaration of Principles "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emolument. "As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and exact justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. "As loyal and faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achieved when defeat seemed imminent, with all the resultant advantages to ourselves. "We are as loyal and as true today as ever, but have grown tired of being considered as pawns in the great game of party politics and are determined to call a halt. "The presidential embroglio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and aligning our forces for a triumph, a campain against the combined armies of hatred, prejudice and indifference toward us within the party ranks. "President Roosevelt has not been uniformly just and square in his dealings with the Afro-American and cannot be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the south wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favorite uncles had fought under the stars and bars during the rebellion. If he was proud of the fact that they fought to keep our forbears in servile bondage, he is not emblem of our country, the stars and stripes, he is not in a position to recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Summer, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Albion W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thousands of others who suffered in our behalf; and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that any of his relatives had fought to disolve the Union and against human freedom. "We are for Senator Foraker, for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, reelection to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But whatever his personal ambition may be, we believe in the inherent right of every American citizen to "stand pat" whenever any individual, class or organization of men seek to influence elimination from life, whether the elimination of the United States or his hero worshipers. "Having the most profound regard and veneration for the late Hon. Alphonso Taft—father of the present secretary of war—who, as attorney general in the cabiner of General Grant, was a true friend to our oppressed brethren in the south, we regret that duty to our race and country compuls us to state that on William H. Taft, distinguished as he is, cannot and will not obtain the support of the Afro-American voters for the high office of president of the United States so long as he stands admittedly the personal candidate of Theodore Roosevelt. While we are aware of the fact that conditions may bring about his nomination, we also believe that conditions and votes will bring about the change we have reached that point where we would prefer to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party. "We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding chamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent.

M. Gilmere, Cleveland, chairman Walter S. Thomas, Columbus, secretary. The Resolutions. Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, secretary of war, is being announced as a probable candidate for the republican nomination next year for the presidency of the United States, and is being widely heralded, especially here in Ohio, as the one most eligible for that exalted honor and position, and Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, in his speeches at Greensboro, N. C., and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1906, viewed without protest the deplorable discrimination against our people, the undisguised violation of the constitution, in the matter of disfranchisement of colored citizens, at least condoning the same, and Whereas, The Hon. Wm. H. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville not publicly branded them as criminal, though they had not been tried and though the entire military machinery of the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore he it. Resolved, That we, as law-abiding American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. W. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1804, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the dismissal without trial of 167 brave and meritorious soldiers; many of their country, in Indian wars and the Spanish-American war, shows weakness and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conservatism and justice which should characterize an aspirant for the greatest honor of our party and nation. Furthermore, Be it resolved, that we call upon our brethren throughout this great state, particularly, and the country to join in our protest and warning to all republicans who support the Hon. W. H. Taft for anything at this time, that they are thus forfeiting the good will and support for the future of all loyal members of our race. Hon. Harry C.

WHERE WAS THE CAT? Admitting the Meat, Owner Wanted to Be Shown Feline. A certain family living in one of the suburbs of New York owned a kitten of which they were very fond. When they went away for the summer it was decided after various consultations to leave the kitten with the butcher, on condition that he should treat it with the greatest kindness and give it about a pound of meat a week, besides its daily allotment of cream. Some weeks after the family had closed the house for the summer the nominal head of the family visited the suburb to attend to some business matters, and decided that he might as well drop in at the butcher's to see how the kitten was getting along. He found the kitten curled up in a corner asleep and apparently at peace with the world, but, far from being steek or well fed in appearance, it was so thin that he felt constrained to call the attention of the butcher to the fact. "Do you mean to say you have fed that cat a pound of megt during the last week?" he asked. "I certainly have," responded the butcher. "Put him on the scales and see how much he welts." The butcher did as requested, and gently deposited the kitten in the balance. The pointer indicated exactly one pound. "Well, grunted the owner of the animal, "there's the pound of meat all right, but where's the cat?" HOW HE BROKE A RECORD. Took Last Jump from Forgotten Rub ber Home Plate. Billy Powell, greatest hurdler the west was produced, was referring to his college days on the Berkeley track. "There were five in the race. I drew the extreme outside large, which gave me a bad finish stretch. But I got a peach of a start, swept the curve like a yacht on her beam ends and came down the straight taking the jumps in beautiful style. I felt I had a varsity record in me at that clip, and I threw all my power into the final strides. Springing for the ninth hurdle I fairly flew through the air*, and, dashing to the finish, broke the tape, the world's record for the low hurdles, for the 220-dash, and for the running broad jump, the time being 21 flat, and my last jump over two hurdles at once, clearing 43 feet and some inches. "Whew!" exclaimed Olle Snedigar, "why weren't the records ever allowed?" "Well," continued Powell, "when they went to measure that leap, Col. Edwards started to shove his cane in, to indicate my foremost spike mark, and the stick jumped out of his hand. They scraped the short grass away and found a solid rubber home plate imbedded where the varsity battery used to practice."—San Francisco Chronicle. SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES Whole Head and Neck Covered—Hair All Came Out—Cured in Three Weeks by Cuticura. "After having the measles my whole head and neck were covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out. I let the trouble run along, taking the doctor's blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, I consider myself cured. Mrs. Henry Porter, Albion, Neb., Aug. 25, 1906." ALMOST FELT ENVY PANGS. Great Cricketer's Simple Tribute to His Own Worth. In 1885 there was a great celebration in London in honor of Dr. Samuel Johnson, and among these in attendance was the Australian "crack" cricketer, Donner, then at the height of his fame. As one of the guests, says the compiler of the recently published "Letters" of the late Dr. George Birkebee Hill, Bonner's health was proposed. His response was noteworthy. "After seeing the way in which Dr. Johnson's memory is revered," he said, with great simplicity, "I am not sure that I would not rather have been such a man than have gained my own greatest triumphs in cricket."—Youth's Companion. Bill Nye's Long Walt Bill Nye when a young man once made an engagement with a lady friend of his to take her driving on a Sunday afternoon. The appointed day came, but at the livery stable all the horses were taken out save one old, shaky, exceedingly bony horse. Mr. Nye hired the nag and drove to his friend's residence. The lady let him wait nearly an hour before she was ready, and then on viewing the disreputable outfit flatly refused to accompany Mr. Nye. "Why," she exclaimed, sneeringly, "that horse may die of age any moment." "Madame," Mr. Nye replied, "when I arrived that horse was a prancing young steed."-Harper's Weekly. Hard to Realize "Mother," said a college student who had brought his chum home for the holidays, "permit me to present my friend, Mr. Specknoodle." His mother, who was a little hard of hearing, placed her hand to her ear. "I'm sorry, George, but I didn't quite catch your friend's name. You'll have to speak a little louder, I'm afraid." "I say, mother," shouted George, "I want to present Mr. Specknoodle." "I'm sorry, George, but Mr. — What was the name again?" "Mr. Specknoodle!" George fairly yelled. The old lady shook her head sadly. "I'm sorry, George, but I'm afraid it's no use. It sounds just like Specknoodle to me."—Everybody's Magazine. CHILDREN SHOWED IT "A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness. "I was telling a friend about it and she said, 'We drink nothing at meal time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children.' "I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most healthy drink in the world for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact. "My first trial was a failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so flat that I was in despair but determined to give it one more trial. This time we followed the directions, and boiled it fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was completely won by its rich delicious flavour. In a short time I noticed a decided improvement in my condition and kept growing better and better month after month, until now I am perfectly healthy, and do my work in the school room with ease and pleasure. I would not return to the nerve-destroying regular coffee for any money." "There's a Reason."
