THE The STYLES A MUSHROOM HAT LATEST IN SHIRT WAISTS A marked feature of the present season is the novelties which are appearing in the realm of fashion. Conspicuous among these novelties may be mentioned the Japanese outline of the bodice, which is permitted to stamp its popularity upon the blouse, notably upon the lace blouse which looks very well, indeed, under such conditions. I would quote a capital example made in a combination of thick white gulure striped with lines of black velvet ribbon over a fine lace front, and destined to be worn with a fine lace skirt bordered with coarse lace—a very good dress altogether. Besides this, I would observe the addition to the lace blouse of more ordinary detail, of braces of ribbon, short wide sleeves of ribbon, and a belt with sash ends of ribbon. Such ribbon could be chine with a satin border. This needs a slim figure for its best success, and those who are at all stout should trust themselves to the simpler belts of ribbon, kid, or leather, or striped galon. This last is comparatively new, and is to be met with the buckle covered to match. The elastic belt continues to receive it supporters, and shines beneath the influence of gold and silver. It may also be found faced with velvet, and only under one condition could I be induced to recognize its plausible charms. But to proceed with my list of trifles. I comment with joy on the continued favor shown to the lawn and linen collar, recognizing that the former daily assumes a finer aspect and is traced with finer stitching, no minute details of design seeming to be too intricate to do it service. For the prodigal, summer blouses are made entirely of such luxuries as this finely embroidered lawn, costing no LATEST INS It is the recognized fact in Europe that American women are the most extensive wearers and the keenest critics of the shirt-waist, and for this reason they are constantly on the alert for new designs in that particular article of apparel. The tailor-made shirt-waist is, like all rude-to-measure garments, distinguishable for its smartness of cut and fit, and more and more are women appreciating this fact. The two strong points in favor of the shirt-waist are the multitude of shades and designs and clothes in which it may be obtained, and the comparative cheapness of this indispensable article of dress. Freshly laudried, what looks fresher or more attractive than a well-made, well-fitting shirt-waist. The shirt-waist worn by the lady to the right in our illustration above is made in the gauze cashmere, which, being pure wool, is absolutely unshrinkable. Other good qualities of the goods and which should be sought for in a garment of this kind are the smooth, clean surfaces which are retained even after much wear and many In Union There is Strength. ment less than eight guineas; and perhaps their charm is only discernible to the expert, and nine women out of ten would be as content with the linen bastie blouse, bearing hem-stitched tucks intersected with small satin-stitched spots, and to these latter I confess I am much addicted, finding they look equally well with glace coats or cloth or clerse. of omes There are some pretty new models in glace coats, some taking the straight Japanese outline and being covered with silken braid, others being in the paletot shape with a belt at the waist and an embroidered collar round the neck, and a few black tassels on the front, and the sleeves striking a decorative note. The most extravagant form of the glace coat, however, is embroidered all over with floss silk, and bears a thickly netted silken fringe all round it. for are to the three-quarter coats, fitting almost tightly, and bearing no fullness in the basque, are suggestive of the Directoire period with their large buttons and the sleeves full on the top, but the absence of fulness on the skirt contradicts this impression to some extent. may and be able of the own All the best of the new skirts are cut on the cross, with a seam down the center, and fitted tightly round the hips, while their decoration is either braid or flatly-stitched bands upon the hem and above it. Besides this, the trimming of the hour is embroidery, and our taste for it grows apace. the sect no to For are this no I have just seen an advance sample of summer millinery, entirely made of embroidered batiste, this being worked into the crown, and a mushroom-shaped brim, and simply trimmed with a scarf of colored crepe de chine. I can look forward to meeting it again with much pleasure. SHIRT WAISTS washings and the happy knack of neither creasing nor crushing. This quality of cashmere comes in small checks and other neat effects which look so well with plain coat and skirt costumes, and which like so many of the shirt-waists, is made with ordinary collar band, although this may be changed to suit the individual taste. In the central figure of the illustration is displayed a waist made of cotton material which is exceedingly smart in its effect. It is of white body ground, patterned with blue stripe. Japeen is a new but very popular material for shirt-waists, in fact it is so durable and so desirable from every standpoint of the shirt-waist requirement that it is being more and more used. Japeen is a material made of Egyptian cotton and silk, and has a pretty silky appearance which it retains to the last. One of these Japeen waists is sketched in our illustration and is the one to the extreme left. The shade is a delicate mauve with a little star-shaped spot in the same color. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1907. Roosevelt Also Scored Unmercifully Because They Have Vitally Injured the Race. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The mass meeting held in True Reformers' hall May 27 was a grand success, in spite of the false reports in one of the local daily papers. The 500 persons present were most enthusiastic indeed. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, chairman of the evening, was introduced by the promoter of the meeting, Mr. W. T. Ferguson, who has been highly praised on all sides for its splendid success. In assuming the chair, the Rev. Waldron spoke in part as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: Hon. Archibald H. Grimke. I am not a politician, nor am I an aspirant for political honors or emoluments. I have never held any kind of governmental position, nor do I ever expect to hold any. I am a humble minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, commissioned by the God of heaven and earth to preach the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of men and the Messiahship of that Christ. I am an American citizen and identified with those whom some are pleased to call the weaker race," and I would consummate less than a man, and unworthy a high calling of a minister of Christ Jesus. I were to refuse to espouse the Jesus case, to oppress and weak against the strong, and the mighty when there was an opportunity to do so. As I understand it, this meeting has been called not to abuse anyone in authority; not to secure an office for any man or set of men; not to name a presidential candidate for the republican or any other party, but to enter our solemn and many protest against the effort which certain political leaders are making to have the republican party to name as its next presidential nominee a man who unfairly enough to publicly denounce as criminals, murderers and traitors to the stars and stripes, men who never been proven guilty of any crime against the flag or the constitution of their country; we are here to say to the republican party that a man who custum and unfair enough to the entailment of ten million of the American citizens was a mistake, to no narrow and too void of the sense of justice and right to be nominated by the party of Lincoln, Sunner and Grant as president of the United States, and if such a man is nominated next year by said party, we are here to say to the republicans that the colored citizens of this country will not support him. The Hon. Wm. H. Taft has denounced as criminals, murderers and traitors to the flag certain members of our race who belonged to companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, United States army, and that, notwithstanding the fact, that these men have never been tried for, nor proven guilty of these charges. Mr. Taft has also condoned the disfranchisement of the colored citizens of America and said that their enmity and mistrust will make, and yet the republican party, in court, which 99 per cent of all the colony citizens in the United States belongs is seeking, through some of its leaders, to place upon their ticket next year as the nominee, and we are here to enter our solemn and everlasting opposition to any such action by the republican party, and we serve notice upon the party that if the Hon. Wm. H. Taft is thrust upon us we will not vote for him. And in saying this we are sure we voice the sentiment of the colored people of the entire country. The next presidential campaign is destined to be the most momentous in the history of this country and unless we are much mistaken it is sure to be a close one, and in any close contest the colored voters are sure to hold the balance of power. The colored people in six northern and west-eastern states have votes enough to carry any election, and the number of may be nearly evenly divided, and the colored Americans in those states are organizing, and the word has already gone forth that they intend casting their vote solidly against the republican party if it names the Hon. Wm. H. Taft as its nominee. The time has come when the colored man in this country has made up his mind to follow the example of his white brother in politics, as in other good things, GAZETTE. and vote against any man or party which_will not treat him justly, and for any man or party which will best serve his interests as a citizen and a man. The colored voter has been voting blindly with the republican party for the last 40 years—a solid black republican vote in the south has been the Democratic nominee he has seen this and after the black voter proposes to vote with the socialists, populists or independents, if the republican party refuses to give due recognition to the rights of the race, and this is wisdom, and every fair minded man in America will commend the colored citizen for so doing. This meeting is to serve notice upon the entire country in general, and the republican party in particular, that the Republican party will "permanently grata" with the colored voters of the United States and that if he is nominated by the republican party they will refuse to vote for him. Abstract from the Address of Hon. Archibald H. Grimke of Boston. William H. Taft, secretary of war in the cabinet of President Roosevelt, and Mr. Roosevelt's candidate for presidential honors in 1908, is a big man physically, an exceedingly supply and adroit man mentally, and an exceedingly ambitions man politically. If these be qualifications for the presidency then Mr. Secretary Taft is well equipped for that great office. No colored voter can accept them as alone sufficient to entitle any man, however big he may be in his physical proproper adroit and supply in his mental parts. He is an adroit and supple in his political ambition to reach the highest position in the republic. That man must possess above every other quality, the supreme quality of friendship to the colored race, not in words which are always cheap, but in very deed. But Mr. Secretary Taft has no such supreme quality. He has it not today and he has never had it. On the contrary his acts, his words too, have shown him on more than one occasion a real friend, the colored people. The fault we fin. with him is not that he is not able, adroit, ambitious, but that he is too much so for our best as a race. We can only judge what he would be as president by what he is today in respect to the rights and lobe les of the colored people. This political tree let is be judged. What do these fruits show Mr. Taft to be? They show him to be the pliant tool of President Roosevelt. They show him to be the pliant tool, likewise, of American color prejudice. How and when? We shall see. First: When he was governor-general of the Pilippines there arose among Americans in those islands the old American cry of colorophilia against our colored troops stationed there. The lie was invented and invented out of whole cloth that the Filipinos did not want to have the colored troops among them. And the Governor-General Taft harkened to this base lie, to this outrageous outburst of American colorophilia 8,000 miles away from its home in these states and so represented the case to the Congress in support of this demand of American in the Philippines as to secure from that government an order for the recall of every last one of our colored soldiers in those islands. And later when President Roosevelt having appointed our brave and pliant governor-general to be his secretary of war, this self-same brave secretary of war, this self-same brave secretary of war, exactly the position occupied by him when governor-general in the presence of colored troops in the Philippines. How? But thereby hanged a tale, which brings to our second indictment of Mr. Taft. Second: When President Roosevelt, from political motives best known by himself, issued his Draconian order discharging without honor or trial of any kind 167 colored soldiers on a mere suspicion and assumption of their guilt in the matter of the nature of the secretary of war with the indictment of just judge suspended for 24 hours the nature of that automatic order of his chief, but when our big war secretary, who is in every inch of his body a done and dreamed of the ill consequences which were likely to flow therefrom to his aspirations for the presidency to succeed his autocratic chief, he repented speedily in the morning and revoked with suspicion aiacity his order of suspension. And so the unjust and arbitrary order of the president was executed until every one of those 167 brave men of the Black Battalion was discharged in disgrace from the American army, which they had made glorious by brave at home abroad. But this was not all. For when abroad this public opinion and an investigation of the autocratic act by the senate, the president called on his big and pliant secretary of war to defend the order of discharge. Mr. Tatt, with a mental and moral suppleness which was most amazing, tried in his report to congress on the subject to outdo even the arbitrary author of the unjust and autocratic order in vilification of those 167 colored soldiers. And then to cap, as it were, the climax of this kind of plant service to his chief, he reversed without a blush the position taken by him when he was governor-general in the Philippines, taken by him then in slavish obedience to the commands of American colorophilia in respect to the presence of colored troops in those islands. When an obedience not less slavish to the not old commander of the army who wanted the colored troops out of the country as a punishment. I pose to the colored people for appearing from his arbitrary order of discharge to congress and the country in behalf of these deeply wronged soldiers. Secretary Taft signed the order which exciled to the Philippines every colored soldier in the regular army of the United States. Piliany the name is indeed William H. Taft and thou art secretary of war to Theodore Roosevelt, the most autocratic Continued on Second Page. Kenton.—Rev. J. W. Lewis preached a fine sermon Sunday morning, Rev. Dr. Chas, Bundy, P.

Moore, who was born in Murray county, Tennessee, in 1870, came north in 1885 and to Cleveland in 1892, where he worked in the different hotels and cafes, and finally became connected with the caterers. Mr. Moore has purchased J. W. Crawford's restaurant, lunch counter and soda fountain at 2403 Central avenue, where will be found home-made pies, family dinners, fine cigars and fresh fruits. He is a great favorite with his fellow workmen and associates, and is known by his best friends as "Old Deke," as it is said of one of our great American actors, he "has smiles for all and fondness for all," is a number of the Baptist church, K. A. P., of F. Caterers' association, Sing and Cedar clubs, the latter two being strictly of a financial nature. At present he is laboring in a great many disadvantages, common to all who start in business. But in the face of all this, he is doing a fair business and his place bids fair to become the leading restaurant of the city, and if appreciated by the citizens of Cleveland, Mr. Moore will improve it to the extent that his patrons can get anything in season at the most reasonable price. Special attention will be given to after-theatre parties, dances and other outing parties. Clubs and centers and eventing centers to meet in and spread a spread after business. Perfect satisfaction guaranteed. If Mr. Moore succeeds in his enterprise, as he is confident he will, he will give all the credit to his good and patient wife who is ever at his side to strengthen his hands. THE LODGES ACTIVE.

R. post of his city she said: “A colored soldier who makes a bad record as a soldier is danger as well ‘as a disgrace to all colored Ameri ans, but it is no Jess true that a col ‘ored voter who sells his vole and a colored citizen guilty of crime, or sunk 4 laziness or vice is also a danger as well ax a disgrace to his race.” {What about the bad white soldier aad voter and his race? Mr. Bona- parte might have made his comment more general, and in so doing would have been less insulting. The propor- tion of bad soldiers and bad voters, Diack or white, is entirely too small to be given such prominence in a Decor- ation day address, unless the attorney general was seeking to influence pub- Me opinion to a greater degree against “The-Black Battalion.” As a member Of President Roosevelt's cabinet this ig doubtless just what he was trying todo. Shame! | AN members of the Ohio Afro- American league and the Foraker and other clubs afijiating with it, espe cially the members of the executive, state, central and advisory commit- tees 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_ commence- ment exercises this year are excep- ‘tionally fine and the speech of Ohio's senior senator on June 20 will be ‘guperive, Don't taiss it? The Boston Suffrage league has pro- tested the election of Dr. Booker T. Washington as a trustee of Howard university, and does not like the ap- pointment of Roscoe Conkling Bruce to the assistant superintendency of the public schools of Washington, D. C. This places him in immediate charge of the colored schools of the capital. Mr. Washington's name was offered by a white man. His resignation as a trustee Is asked for by the league, which is a little “hasty” to say the least. If recent dispatches to daily papers announcing that Goy. Deneen, of Ill- nois, stopped an inter-marrlage case, because the man was an Afro-Ameri- can, are true, it is high-time that our people of that state “set up and take notice.” Each’ year should see us growing more and more jealous of our citizen rights and we should mark for early defeat any public official who so far forgets himself as to permit his raclal prejudice to cause him to inter. fere in the slightest when any Afro- American is exercising any of his citi ‘sem iets: We congratulate our good friend, eo.

Taft, secretary of war, is sald to be the probable candidate for the republican nomination next year for the presi- dency of the United States, and is being widely heralded as the logical candidate for that Nonor, and Whereas, The Hon. Wm. H. Taft, In his speeches at Greensboro, N.C. and at Tuskegee, Ala, in 1906, viewed without protest the deplorable dis- crimination against our people, the lundisguised violation of the constitu. tion in the. matter of distranchise- ment of colored eltizens, thereby con- doning the same, and Whereas, The Hoa, Wm. H. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of the 167 innocent colored soldiers as -reeult of the alleged Brownsville rlot, po branded” them as criminals, though they had not been tried and though the entire machinery of the government had been tmnable to. prove them guilty or Justify thelr barbarous punishment, therefore be it Resolved, That we do not want the Hon.

TYLER’S JOB A POOR RETURN. (From the Pittsburg Sun.) “Organs of the president's. own party admit that this appointment is a slap at Foraker, since the appointee comes from Ohio, It is also sald that this sop is intended TO PLACATE THE COLORED RACE FOR THE WHOLESALE DISCHARGE OF A NEGRO BATTALION FOR THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR. But one $4,000-s-year job is a poor return for the throwing of 167 men out of their Ife work and the = benefits some of them were near to achieving after 25 and 28 years’ service. The senatorial investigation into this mat- ter has brought out facts in extenua- tion that were not made public when the president issued his hasty and un- usual order of wholesale discharge. This appointment, coming under the circumstances it does, can only work mischief to all concerned. If the ares- ident bad wanted to benefit and com- pliment the colored race, he could have done so more effectively, BUT HE COULDNT HAVS SLAPPED FORAKER, TOO.” The Army and the Navy. ‘A Methodist preacher asked a friend why he didn’t Join the army of the Lord. “I bas—I belongs to the Baptist church.” “Dat ain't de army; dat’s Ge navy!” ROOSEVELT “CONSISTANCY.” Prosident Roosevelt recently at the request of drunken John L. Sullivan, the ex-champion pugilist who would not fight an Afro-American “pug” and always boasted of it, pardoned the ex- prize fighter's nephew, who was in prison at hard labor for one year, at Fort Jay, New York harbor, because of desertion, having been dishonorably discharged from the army some three or four months ago, Not satisfied with this, he (Roosevelt) has restored Sul- liyan’s nephew to his place in the army and in so doing hae shattered one of the “sacred” traditions of the military service. One of the hitherto unbroken rules of the army, navy and marine corps was that & soldier, sail- or or marine who had been dishonor- ably discharged could not be re-en- Usted in the military service. Tae general practice In the three arms is that no enilsted man can be reed sted unless his previous service has been “honest and faithful.” That rule was recently clted as prohibiting the reenlistment of any of the 167 sol- dlers of the Twenty-fifth infantry wh> were “discharged without honor” on account of the Brownsville affatr. But Lennon, the nephew and dishoa- orably’ discharged soldier in question Is white, The 167 members of Com- panies B, C and D, of the Twenty fifth infantry, are black. That is th: difference and all of the difference, a. much 2s we try to believe otherwise The fact the “Black Battalion” was not dishonorabiy discharged only az gravates the comparison—mates | worse for Theodore Roosevelt. There is even grave doubt as to the legality of the reenlistment of a man who has been dishonorably discharged. Even this fact had no deterrent effect upou the president who seemed eager t favor the notorious Sulllvan. Dr Booker T. Washington and the fox other black friends of Roosevelt should “get busy” and remind him that he will not have to go near as far to deal out justice to the 167 in nocent members of “The Black Fat talion,” and their race, whom he ha: branded as midnight ‘assassins and criminals in order to cater to anc satisfy the morbid hatred and preju dice s0 rampant in the south particu: larly, and thus curry favor, polltical ‘and otherwise. NO TAFT IN OURS. Last fall, a year ago, the writer was a candidate on the republican ticket for # fourth term in the Ohio legisia ture from this county. With the entire local republican ticket, with one ex. ception, and the republican candidate for governor, Col, Myron T. Herrick. we were all sent down to defeat as the result of a speech delivered at Akron by secretary of war, Wm. H. Taft, and the reform ery of graft, directed by him and other persons against Geo, B. Cox, of Cincinnati. In plain words the effort to elimin- ute Cox from Ohlo politics resulted in the defeat for re-election of Gov. Herrick (who did much to help him- self down to defeat, we will admit) and hundreds of local republican ean: didates throughout the state. Now comes Mr. Cox with a sugges: tion that this same man, Taft, be en- dorsed by Ohio republicans for the republican nomination for the. presi dency next year, that Senator For aker be endorsed for re-election to the United States senate and that Goy, Harris be renominated 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 respect: ing Afro-Americans, particularly of Ohio, and President Brownsville Tex. as Roosevelt and Secretary Distran- chisement Brownsville Taft, as well as Mr, Cox, might just as well know thix now as later on. It will be easier to secure the united support of or- ganized labor throughout the country for Taft than 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-Ameri- can aud 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, Cincinnat!, Charles P. Taft, Secretary Taft's brother, editor and publisher of the Cincinnati Times- Star, and manager of his brother's al- leged candidacy for the republican nomination for the presidency, owns the theater bullding. 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 what- ever to comply with thelr respectful, reasonable and very. proper ‘request. ‘The result is “The Clansman” was pro- duced at the Cincinnati Grand Opera House and the minds of many thous- ‘ands of persons, already too thorough- ly 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 can- didacy and even those who are trying to promote It. With Brother Charles alding and abetting Tom Dixon's dirty work agalust the race with his infer- nal play, “The Clansman,” and Secre- tary Taft out-Roosevelting Roosevelt in his effort to fasten the alleged Brownsville, Texas, riot erlme 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. At a recent meeting of the Irish parliamentary party in the house of commons it was decided to fight the government both in the house and in the constituencies in order to punish the liberals for failing’ to give Ireland a broader measure of home rule than Was contained in the defeated Irish council bill.

Stsr Witnecs for Protecution In Hay woods Tria! Tella of 4 Series ee Boise, Idaho, — The defense om Wednesday carried the — cross-ex- amivation of Harry Orchard down to the actual crime charged against Hay- wood, the murder of Frank Steunen- berg. Tae Steunenberg crime was reached at midday, and counsel for the defense directed their efforts to an at- tempt to cloud the earlier purposes and movements of Orchard with un- certainty. Then they emphasized the abandonment of all efforts to kill after Orchard first tracked Steunenberg to a hotel in Boise and with a skeleton key gained entrance to the room in which the governor was living. Here they deiayed for a moment to Drove that Orchard twice wrote and once telephoned to Bill Easterly at Sliver City to urge him to come and Join in the crime, and the direct im pilestion was that Orchard was en- deavoring to inveigie another feder- ation man into the crime, which would bring dishonor to the organization, Then the witness was carvied.on his tong journey into north Idaho and his erimes there, {acluding a plot t0 kid- hap and hold for ransom August Paul- son's child were emphasized, Orchard swore that David Coates, formerly Heutenant governor of Colorado and late a publisher in Wallace, Idaho, first suggested the kidnapping to Pettibone and himself at Denver, Paulson, once @ poor miner, had made a fortune in the Hercules mine, in which Orchard heid an interest when the property was not paying; and it was belleved that if hls children were stolen he would “come up” with $50,000 or $60,- 000 in ransom. Orchard said when he went to nerth Idaho he got Jack Simp- kins to enter the plot and together they went to Coates to renew the scheme, Coates was asked to stand up and Orchard said he was the man, Oreh- ard was then asked whether he had hot himself proposed the crime to Coates, who rebuffed him, and whether Jack Simpkins had not werned Panl- son the minute he heard of the plot. Orehard denied doth suggestions and insisted that Coates was to stay in the plot and hundie the money they hoped to get from Paulson, Then the de- fense showed the witness in the com- mission of a series of mean crimes and reduced to poverty, in which he had to resort to pawning, borrowing and stealing to live, for a long period. First he pawued jewelry and guns for $25 or $80. Then he accepted the hospitality of Paulson's home while he was plotting to steal Paulson's child. After that, with Jack Simpkins, he broke into the Oregon Rallway and Navigation Co's station. They were after a trunkful of jewelry samples, but instead got a trunicful of shoe sam: ples, Next he tapped a cash register ‘at Burke for $30 or $40. THE WAR IN SALVADOR.

Cleveland O KINK·NE Great Hair Straightener and Grower 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 tonic 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, for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

The exceptional personnel of the gathering had much, of course, todo with this, Nearly 100 promt nent Afro-American ministers, bust- Ress and professional men, repubil- jean leaders from tho different parts of Ohio met in a state contarence at the request of the editor of The Ga- zette, defined their position in the pending presidential contest between Senator Foraker and Secretary Taft 4nd served notice upon the secretary and his friends that nether Taft nor Roosevelt, nor anyone the latter sup- ports, will receive the support of the Afro-American voters of Ohio, who are 40,000 strong. President Roose: Yelt was both condemned and de- nounced, and Senator Foraker was commended and indorsed in the most Blowing terms. The strongest lan- guage was used in denouncing the ehlet executive, the delegates were thoroughly in accord with the resolu- tions and they were adopted without 4 dissenting vote. The committee was made up as follows: Rev. J. M. Gil mere, chairman; Hon. Harry C. Smith, Cleveland; Hon. C. L, Max: well, Xenia; Rev. B. L. Gilllam, Co- lumbus; Walter 8. Thomas, Colum- bus; Prof. W. P. Dabney, Cincinnati; Rev. W. 0. Harper, Dayton; Major Arthur J. Riggs, Springfield; Dr. W. @. Wren, Columbus; Dr. 8. 8. Jordan, Chillicothe, and Rey. Dr. C. D. White, Steubenville, Secretary of War Taft id not escape criticism and was re ferred to as the instrument of the president. "Foraker first, last and all the time,” and’défiance of the man with the big stick, wad declared to be the slogan of Afro-Americans, in the fature, and the name of “Foraker” was determined upon as the pass- Word to any meeting of our citizens. The meeting was called to order at 10:30 a. m. by Dr. Wren, Rev. Dr. Talbert, of Wilberforce, was. named for chairman by the editor of The Ga- zette, and Dr. Wren and Mr, Poston were’ made secretary and assistant ‘respectively. While the committee on resolutions were, out, addresses were made by delegates and others present. Among this number were: Rev. C. 8, Williams, of Washington ©. H.; Messrs. Riggs, Smith, Talbert, Attorney N, B, Marshall, of Washing: ton, D. C., and Gilchrist Stewart, of New York’ City. When the committee Feturned and reported the following splendid declaration of principles; antl-Taft resolutions, and provided for a permanent organization known ‘as the Ohio Afro-American league, the wildest cheering and enthusiastic acclaim was heard for a block, Declaration of Principles. "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emolu- ment. “As repubifcans, we demand and in- sist that equal and exact justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. “As loyal end faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achloved when defeat seemed imminent, with- ‘out any resultant advantages to our selves “We are as loyal and as true today as ever, but have grown tired of be- ing considered as pawns in the great game of party politics and are deter- mined to call a hait. “The presidential embrogilo in ‘Ohio affords us the opportunity of an- nouneing to the world our convictions and allgning our forces for a trium- phant campaign against the combined armies of hatred, prejudice and in- Aifference toward us within the party ranks. “President Rooseyelt has not been uniformly just and square in fis deal ings with the Afro-Ameriean and can- not be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the South wherein he sald that he was proud of the fact that his two favor- ite uncles had fought under the stars and hars during the rebellion. If he Was proud of the fact that they fought to Keep our forbears in servile bond- age and shoot to death the glorious emblem of our country, the stars and stclpfes, he is not ina position to recommend to loyal Americans a can- @idate on the republican ticket fer President to succeed himsett. “We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten ‘that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lioya Garrison, Charles Sum: ner, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Al dion W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P, Chase, the immortal Jobn Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thou: sands of others who suffered in our Dohalt; and we know that not one of them, ‘If called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that ay Of his relatives had fought to dis- solve the Union and against human freedom. “We are for Senator Foraker, for anything he wants, whether It be president of the United States, re- @lection to tife senate of the United States or retirement to private lite. But whatever his personal ambition may be, we believe in the inherent right of very American citizen to "stand pat” whenever any Individual, class or organization of men seck to Secure his elimination from pubile Ife, whether It be the president of the United States or his hero worshippers. “Having the most profound regard and veneration for the late Hon. Al- phonso Taft—father of the present secretary of | war—who, as attorney Ufied with the republican party as Arm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving ‘to {t 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 star [chamber sessions, selecting candi- wates, deciding questions, ete, and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but instead thereot we demand the full recoguitton in all the councils of the party that our nunibors and in telligence represent: Sisnea: * “C.
