THE FASHION'S REALM EXQUISITE GOWNS SOME SUMMER STYLES Fashion would seem to have the blues, and yet to suffer no depression therefrom, but indeed, to welcome them with gay enthusiasm. Every shade of blue is worn and many are combined in more or less happy union. Distinctly happy was the alliance of a blue volle gown of deep China blue with a peacock blue hat wreathed with blue roses, the costume being completed by blue kid gloves taking almost a royal tone. I hate colored kid gloves. I do not think there is any garment upon which fashion could smile which has the power to arouse in me such fire as the sight of brightly colored kid gloves, and yet I have been informed en reliable authority that the colored kid glove is upon us, and that we are to welcome in turn blue gloves, green gloves, violet gloves and mauve gloves. We have no mean tone of choice between the various tones of biscuit, almond and wash-leather, and, by the way, with a blue serge dress and a black tie, wash-leather colored gloves must be reckoned as superlatively attractive; and talking of blue serge, I will return to the popular craze of blue, and note with much satisfaction that the blue serge dress looks extremely well crowned with one of the bats of the new bright blue, which may best be described as China blue with a strong dash of peacock in it, trimmed at one side with a rosette of One of the peculiarities of the present season's styles is the marked tendency to abolish any definite line of the figure. The ideal line is long, undulating and undefined; and if by any chance a bodice seems more or less tight-fitting, fashion at once throws over it some loose coat or floating Simple Afternoon Dress. draperies, which give the required suggestion of mystery. This is exemplified in the accompanying sketch, which represents a simple afternoon dress for the present moment, when the weather is too doubtful 'o permit of our sallying forth in muslin. The skirt is of foulard, a deep cream ground besprinkled with large violet spots, the trimming consisting of two waved bands of quilled satin ribbon of the same color as the violet spots. In Urgoa There is Strength. black satin and at the other with a fluffy feather, soft, downy and light, every girl with red hair should wear a hat of this colored blue. To turn to consideration of the costumes shown in our large illustration. The figure on the right reveals a dress of the finest nylon, trimmed with thick lace and tassels, and the hat is of erinoline straw with a panache of feathers at one side. It would look well either in a biscuit color or in pale gray, I should say, although I own to a friend who has determined to copy it in dull light pink, and I note parenthetically that all shades of dull light pink are receiving considerable attention, while I remember with gratitude a costume made of this nylon with the nylon worked into rosettes and tassels, bearing a bicee of Japanese outline, with a vest and the under sleeves of very fine ivory net. Crowned with a crinoline hat of brown encircled with brown leaves and pink and red roses the result was pre-eminently satisfying. But I am forgetting that other illustration, which expresses a costume designed for dress outdoor occasions, held across the front with coral buttons set in gold, fine lace forming the vest, and nikon the skirt. For grace commend me to the well hung nikon skirt! The hat you will see is trimmed with a monster bow of ribbon, and in the tying of the ribbon is there much art. With this is worn as bodice a shirt of fine lawn with a double frill of lage down the front, and a low-cut waistcoat of violet satin. The desired loose outline is given by the quaint little short-waisted sac coat in deep cream taffetas, the same shade as the foulard, which is trimmed with bands of coarse cream silk braid and tassels, into which a thread of, violet is worked delicately, the violet note being accentuated by the turned-back cuffs, which are of violet satin like the waistcoat. This original dress is completed by a big mushroom hat in cream straw, covered with a mass of bows in violet satin ribbon. Naturally we are turning our attention at this time to all those light and seductive materials which manufacturers and dressmakers have devised for our temptation this year. The vollea and silk muslins are lovelier than ever just now, and so are the ninons and marquésettes, the fine satin cloths and shantungs, the fodlards and tussors; and perhaps loveliest of all in their soft colorings are the shot taffetas, with which the most exquisite effects can be obtained. Amongst other articles of the apparel the walking shoe bears important relations to the summer outfit. Shoes have assumed a round-toe outfit rather than a pointed one, and the latest method of their adjustment is a lacing of broad glace ribbon, which is tied in a bow on the instep above the broad tongue. The shoes of the fashionable, which should be made. I will add as a final word, in black, brown or white or gray leather, or suede, and not in colors save and except for evening wear, when I would grant recognition to shoes of any color, but not to gloves of any color; these in bright hues must be eschewed at all times.

SENATOR FORAKER Thousands Cry, "We Will Do It"—A Masterly Effort—Presented a Beautiful Loving Cup. Wilberforce, O.—"Stand up for your rights and make everybody else stand up for them. Let your ballots read: 'Down with the 'grandfather' clause.' And 'down with every man who upholds, condones or defends them, no matter where he lives, what politics he professes or what office he holds.'" This most striking passage from the address delivered last week Thursday by Senator Joseph Benson Foraker at the commencement exercises of the Wilberforce university is in reality the keynote of the argument which he made to the more than sympathetic audience, who listened with rapt attention to his words. What he said regarding the Brownsville incident was but an incident in a general advisory recommendation to the race to make resistance to any and all invasions of its rights. There was no mistaking the character of the advice. Bluntly, it was to support no man politically who was not in sympathy with the demand SENATOR FORAKER. of the race for equality before the constitution and the law. Moreover, this sympathy must be a lively one. There was to be no truce with those who condoned the nullification of the constitution or the law by others. Through his denial that the federal government had made out a case against the troops at Brownsville, and by making the charge that they had not been given fair treatment by President Roosevelt and Secretary William H. Taft, he made it clear to his delighted auditors that he was not one of those who were lacking in support of the doctrine that the Afro-American is a political equal. His address may be well denominated a discussion of the race problem as it exerted on the people in speaking to his subjects. After nearly 50 years of freedom, he said there was still a feeling of prejudice against the Afro-American. The dream of universal acquiescence in the doctrine of political equality had not been realized. What the solution of the problem was to be he did not know. Of the remedies proposed there was deportation to Africa, segregation somewhere in this country, extermination and a reduction in the political scale. All of them would fall because they were based on a denial of this political equality before the law. That was in the statutes to stay, he declared. The constitution might be twisted temporarily, but it would come when it would be respected and made known. With a prophetic ring in his voice he declared that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution would be repealed. The effect of these words upon his audience can easier be imagined than described. Senator Foraker spoke in a tent pitched upon the university campus. Before and about him were thousands of our people of both sexes, or as many as could crowd beneath the canvas and stand upon the great campus within hearing and seeing distance. There were nearly ten thousand people on the grounds from all parts of Ohio and the country; some estimates said 12,000 and even more than 12,000 on Holy Land, never had a more devoted of hearers, nor had Toussaint L'Alouette, black Napoleon of the West Indies, a following more faithful. The depth of feeling that engrossed this audience could readily be observed from the natural expressions given to it. When the name of Secretary of War William H. Taft fell from his lips there followed a chorus of hisses. When the senator praised some one, unchecked demonstrations of approval would follow, and when he turned his weapon of attack upon others the immense crowd was prompt to instantly pass its verdict of condemnation also. Especially did it seem to be castigation given Gen. Garlington, Blockson and Lieut. Col. Lovering, the regular army officers connected with the Brownsville livesite, when the speaker denounced openly in his defense and by innuendo in others. To his large audience Foraker was a shining evangel, come to lead them onward and upward, and almost worshipped him for his counsel and for his defense. On the other hand the senator talked and acted as if he was among loyal friends, and he did not GAZETTE. hacitate to say that he was not seeking their support through this Brownville action, because he knew that he enjoyed it before that incident came to pass, which is true. In the presentation of the Brownville matter he spoke as one who had gained a victory for his clients, the black soldiers of the regular army. In the clearest of terms he gave his auditors to understand that the power of the federal government had been used to convict these men of a heinous crime and that the attempt had failed. His known powers of sarcasm were exerted to the fullest in the denunciation of the people in Brownville, who had formed this conspiracy to lay this crime at the doors of these soldiers. This same talent was exerted against President Roscoe itself for his unwarranted assumption of the duty to dismiss the unconsciliated soldiers of the army. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, had said that the president had the same right as the king of England, as commander in chief, to dismiss any one from the army. He reminded his hearers that this republic was founded by those who had fed from kings and their autonomous authority. If this doctrine of royal right was in force the president might dismiss the whole army. If it had been believed before the civil war President Buchanan might have thus helped his southern friends. In his resume of the Brownville matter Senator Foraker said that the truth might not yet have come out, and that it might never come to be known who did the firing on that night. It might come to pass that it would be shown that some of these accused soldiers might have done the deed. But what it might have done, he believed, is that they had been given their court despite the powerful influences that operated to dismiss them unheard and in disgrace. It was this point that caused his hearers to break forth in loudest acclaim of the senator's action. It was made clear by the speaker twice last week Thursday that he was engaged in a political battle and that he wanted his friends to stand with him in the fight. When it came to discussing the race problem he spoke of Bishop Turner's proposition that the American Negroes return to the land of their ancestors and set up a government there. This, he insisted, was wrong, for the same reasons that the others were. Turning to the bishop, where he set with others, he cried out: "You are wanted here. We need you here in this country, where the great battle for human rights remains to be fought." Wild volleys of applause allowed this meaning utterance, which were continued when he went on to elaborate upon the need for action along these lines, Addressing himself to his colleagues, Derrick Lee, he Grant, and to President Jones, he said that they owed their prominence to the fact that they were not afraid to speak that which was in them. They were not swayed by sentiment nor afraid of it, nor by "any big stick of kind." That was the way he felt, he said. There is no need, scarcely, to say that the assemblage lost no time in letting the senator know that it was with him. When he ceased speaking he was fairly overwhelmed by the crowd which rushed forward to grasp his hand, and, failing to do so, to touch his garments. One of the notable incidents of the day was the presentation to Senator Foraker of a $150 silver loving cup by Afro-Americans of Cincinnati. Dr. Burch, assisted by Rev. Dr. J. Franklin Walker, made the presentation speech, to which Senator Foraker eloquently replied. A large delegation of our citizens of Cincinnati, headed by Prof. W. P. Dabney, chairman, came to Wilberforce as a committee bearing the gift. Immediately after the senator finished, Bishop Grant broke out with the hymn: "I am Pressing on My Uward Way." The audience stopped and joined in the song with uncovered heads and unplitted eyes. When Senator Foraker had returned his thanks the bishop again led his hearers in the doxology, thousands of throats joining in the old melody. Not alone at Wilberforce and among our people did the senator carry his evangelism. Before going to that institution last Thursday morning he made an address in Xenia from the steps of the courthouse to an audience of thousands of people. In this he spoke of the attempt to drive him from public life and said that he was ready to meet the issue. Upon arriving at the depot he was greeted by a procession mac up of old soldiers, white and old members of the Xenin reception committee. He was up town by farmer Lieut. GW C. Lyon, former Senator J. G. Carson, who is a pastor here; J. A. Smith, commander of the G. A. R. post, and former dairy and food commissioner, Horace Ankeney, who resides in this county. At the court house Senator Carson introduced Senator Foraker in the name of the soldiers of Greene county and took occasion to pay him a personal tribute for the fight he was making. In his response the senator was especially felicitous in addressing his former comrades. On the question of politics he was delightfully direct, saying among other things: "I have only yesterday returned after months of absence. I have known of what was transpiring here in Ohio only as I have read of it in the newspapers. According to some of these newspapers I have understood that I was to be "eliminated (laughter and cries of "No! No!")" "I am glad to know from this demonstration that I am to have a whole lot of help." Referring to the many things accomplished by the soldiers in the war of the Rebellion he added this: "We settled it once and for all, so far as the form of our government at least is concerned, that there is no man under the flag, rich or poor, high or low, white or black, so humble that he shall not have the flag's protection. That is an idea that has always Continued on Third Page. Washington, D. C.-Before leaving here for Ohio last week, Senator Foraker gave out the following important interview on the Brownsville matter: "My attention has just been called to the statement, published in a New York newspaper of Sunday, purporting to be a review and analysis of the testimony that has been taken in the Brownsville investigation and setting forth the claim that it shows conclusively that soldiers of the Twenty-fifth battalion did the shooting," said the senator. "It is so grossly inaccurate and unjust that plain duty to as well as to the accused soldiers remains just as told in answer, and inasmuch as I am more familiar with the testimony than anybody else, this duty seems to fall upon me. "The testimony given by the soldiers in their own behalf is not in my opinion skaken by the testimony given by the citizens of Brownies. That testimony, in the first place, is but a repetition of what was first taken by the citizens' committee and afterward more elaborately retaken by Mr. Purdy. No important item of new evidence has been brought for If you want to know all about our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, and the Brownsville, Tex. Trouble, subscribe for THE GAZETTE at once. ward against the soldiers in this examination. Ninety per cent. of what the citizens have testified about had relation to matters over which there was no controversy. For instance, everybody concedes that the town was shot up; that somebody did it; that these people who did it passed through the streets and alleys where the shooting was done, and that they had guns or revolvers or firearms of some sort and that one man was killed and another wounded. The only dispute is as to whether the riders are identified as soldiers of the garrison. "There are two kinds of evidence relied upon to show that the soldiers did it. One consists of shells and bullets that were secured from the streets and houses of Brownsville. The results of the microscopic inspection, interpreted in the light of the other testimony of the case, completely disposed of this part of the case. The only other testimony is that of people who claim to have eye-witnesses to the shooting. This consists of statements by various people that when they heard the firing they looked out of their windows and houses and down dark alleys, where all the way from 30 feet to 50 feet, and recognized the men who were doing the firing as Negroes wearing the uniform of United States soldiers. "The officers of the battalion have tasted generally and specifically as to the darkness of the night. By specifically I mean have given specific incidents coming within their personal experiences that illustrated how dark the night was. According to this testimony, in the language of Major Penrose, the night was so dark that he could not distinguish one of his officers, who were all white men, who he enlisted men who were all colored men, who were all colored feet, nor could he at that distance tell anything about how a man was dressed. "All these officers have testified that the claims of the citizens who testified that they saw the raiders and recognized them as soldiers at the distances and under the circumstances stated by them are utterly impossible. These officers are intelligent, high-minded, honorable men. At one time, when the case was only partially investigated, they were of the opinion and frankly stated it that their men were guilty, but that face only strengthen their testimony as they give it that the testimony of the citizens by which they claim to identify their soldiers is utterly unreliable, untrustworthy and by them unbelievable. "I do not know whether any more testimony will be taken and of course do not know, if any should be taken, just what it will be, and I cannot therefore with propriety predict ultimate results, but I have no hesitation in saying that the testimony taken down to this time utterly falls, in my opinion, to show that the soldiers or any of them had anything whatever to do with the shooting up of Brownsville." Little Rock, Ark.—Gilchrist Stewart and Napoleon B. Marshal, respectively of New York and Washington, D. C., commissioners of the Constitution League of the United States and attorneys for the soldiers discharged because of the Brownsville affray, passed through the city recently en route to Washington from Brownsville and Matamoros, Mexico, where they have been for two weeks work SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. up ing new evidence of the "shooting up" of Brownville. In a long statement in reference to the case, they said: "We have obtained evidence at the risk of our lives, for we had to go into Brownville in the guise of brakemen, and when we were discovered escaped with difficulty to Mexico. Even after we had crossed into Matamoras threats were made against our lives. We have secured indisputable evidence that the shooting up of Matamoras were made against the soldiers. We have five new witnesses, one an eye witness, to the fact that the disturbers were men dressed like soldiers. We know some evidence that cannot be contradicted, also that the shooting was not done by the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry. A citizen of Brownville came over to our hotel in Matamoras and warned us of a plot against us, which compelled us to detour and return via Monterey. The shooting up of Brownville originated in the conception of a conspiracy to do a little shooting to scare the soldiers and lay the blame upon them, which degenerated into "hugging" some feuds and old scores, and if you investigate the houses shot into you will find them all of one faction. Witnesses at Brownville have consented to tell the truth concerning the affair, which will convince even the president that his action was unwarranted." THE GRAND RECORD Made at Knoxville College—Afro- Americans Who are Loyal and Manly—A White Friend Writes of Them. Steubenville, O., June 26, 1907. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir—I wish had been your privilege to have heard the venerable and godly .Jev. Dr. Witherspoon, chairman of the Freed- men's bureau of the United Presbyterian church, tell of the grand work his church is doing for the black people in the south. He spoke in the U. P. church here Sabbath morning and he said the Gospel of Christ, with its saving power alone and habits of thrift, would revolutionize the awful position of the black people of the south who are poor because they are poor. He said all the members of the graduating class of Knoxville college were professing Christians and 95 percent of the student body were likewise, a record not to be equaled by any other institution in the United States. In writing here this week from Washington, D. C., my mother, Mrs. M. M. K. White, who comes of Covenanter stock, took occasion to迎迎 the fact that our constitution for a land which Godly people fought to free, was written by an infidel and under that influence the slave holding men of the south were given an overwhelming vote on account of their slaves whom they treated as brutes. Slavery was removed by a mighty war, but the south still has the advantage of the Negro vote, though they suppress them in their functions as citizens. My mother ends by saying: "Congress has no power enough though she shall not, but it will come and our constitution will be a Christian document." I am pleased to see that the Negro men of Steubenville are no longer docile under contemptuous treatment and are showing proper independence. Recently a United States recruiting officer came here and announced that "no Negroes were wanted." It was said in a way that led one to think the personnel of the army would be affected by the black people belonging thereto. Within the last week he has given out that "colored recruits were wanted," but the hearts of all Negro men here are steeled forever against army service after the Brownville incident, which was the crowning culmination to many other insults.

President Roosevelt's new commissioner of internal revenue, Pearl Wright, of New Orleans, is at the head of the Lilly White organization in Louisiana and connected with about all the labor crushing corporations of any consequence in his state and Mississippi. His appointment would indicate that the President is expecting from the Afro-Americans and organized labor of the country about what he will get—NOTHING. The Taft subsidy has been circulated so generously and thoroughly among the newspapers of the state of Ohio for several months past, and at divers other points throughout 'the country outside of the state, that our esteemed contemporary, the New York Age, will excuse us if its later day and very perceptible Taft-Roosevelt leaning causes certain suspicions to arise in our mind. There seems to be almost a complete change from anti to pro as far as Taft and Roosevelt are concerned, in the editorial conduct of The Age. What or who has caused it? --- All Foraker and other republican clubs and political organizations among our people in the state should affiliate with the Ohio Afro-American league. Read its "declaration of principles" and resolutions elsewhere in this paper and if they meet your approval, write to the editor of The Gazette, chairman of the executive committee and head of the league, and he will enroll your organization with those on the list. Let us work in union and harmony with an eye single to results of the kind desired and made plain in the state conference of our leading men of Ohio in Columbus on May 15. Some of Roosevelt's black officeholders are sending out syndicate Washington, D. C., letters to those alleged race newspapers that will permit themselves to be subsidized into using the same. The Afro-American, individual or newspaper, that can stomach Taft and Roosevelt with masters standing as they are, has a food receptacle that is better lined and can stand more than that of an allegator or a shark. Let our loyal contemporaries speak out in no uncertain tones against the "subskizled sharks" of the race press. They are of the W. M. N. class that grin in the face of the individual that has grossly insulted them or who has given them a good kicking. That bureau of the supervising architect of the treasury at Washington, D. C., in which two Afro-American clerks are employed, seems determined to pose in the lime-light of southern racial prejudice. The other day a number of the white clerks set upon and beat unmercifully one of their Afro-American fellow workmen, and since have been lying most industriously and consistently through the columns of the Washington daily newspapers and the daily press of the country, in an effort to justify their brutal conduct. Nothing has given so much encouragement to the mobocratic spirit which has caused so much friction in public offices throughout the country where Afro-Americans and one or more southerners or prejudiced northerners are employed than President Roosevelt's and Secretary Taft's miserable treatment of "The Black Eatallion" and through them the entire race, and the unusual deference paid the south and 'racial prejudice generally in many other ways. Some of those brutal white clerks held one Afro-American clerk while others beat the other one. Dirty cowards! Let our people watch carefully and see if President Roosevelt and his secretary of the treasury, Geo. B. Cortelyou, punish the secondnels. MORE "POLITICAL TRUTHS." The editor of The New York Age asks: "What will the Hon. Harry C. Smith and other prominent Afro-Americans in the state of Ohio do in case the Hon. Wm. Heward Taft wins the endorsement of Ohio as the 'favorite son?' Also "If the national republican convention should nominate him for president, what then? And what applies to Secretary Taft in these questions also applies to President Roosevelt." In answer, we respectively direct the editor of The Age to the "declaration of principles" and resolutions adopted at the May 15 state convention of Ohio Afro-Americans. Both are very clear and full in their answer to The Age's questions. Like every other loyal Afro-American in this state, we stand squarely upon the platform enunciated in the "declaration" and resolutions referred to, and in so doing know that we are in perfect harmony with the great mass of our voters not only in Ohio, but throughout the north as well as the south. Ohio Afro-Americans will not vote for either Taft or Roosevelt if they are nominated. That much has been settled. If the republican party of this country wishes to witness the spectacle of thousands upon thousands (the great mass) of greatly needed and absolutely necessary Afro-American votes throughout the north especially, being cast for candidates for the presidency other than the republican or democratic nominees, and wishes to note the fact that an even larger number of the same class of voters refuse to go to the polls at all, while many thousands, in a determined effort to defeat the republican nominee, are casting their votes for the democratic nominee, it has only to nominate either Taft or Roosevelt to do this. This the best brains of the party throughout the country will not permit. Not only have Taft and Roosevelt arrayed against them the loyal Afro-Americans of the country, but also organized labor and the tremendous power the combined business interests of all this land can bring to bear. The Age need not concern itself further as far as Taft is concerned, because he will never become the "favorite son" of Ohio republicans as far as presidential nomination honors are concerned; nor will the republicans of the country have the temerity to nominate for a third term that "bucking broncho" in the White House, President Brownville Texas Roosevelt. When the editor of The Age and our readers have finished a careful reading of the "declaration of principles" and resolutions published elsewhere in this paper in a Columbus letter, we respectively refer them to three editorials in this issue headed "Roosevelt 'Consistency'." "No Taft In Ours," and "The Tafts." We trust we have answered fully The Age's questions. Curry Institute Commencement Urbana, O—A 75-acre farm, value $8,000, located five miles south of this city, has been secured by Curry institute with a view to the establishment of the school upon it, and greater development of the industrial and normal features of the work. This is very encouraging and reflects great credit upon the board of trustees and principal of the institute, Prof. E. W. Curry. This year the commencement exercises were more encouraging than ever before and the outlook of the institution is correspondingly gratifying to its many friends. The lecturer, Prof. G. F. Richings (white), is the very successful financial agent of the institute, while the board of trustees is the master of the most positive white men of this community, as well as an equal number of Afro-Americans. "Our Living Sumner." The Ohio Negroes, led by that indiefattigable leader and man, Hon. H. C. Smith, have done wonderful work for Foraker. Go on men, you are right and every brave, race loving Negro is glorying over you. The spirit you throw in the breeze is catching fire over in West Virginia, and before next June you can come over and shake hands with a few thousand of us, just as loyal as you are to our living Summer—Joseph Benson Foraker. If the editor of this paper were a delegate in the national convention 1908, and all the delegates were against him, and every dollar in America was offered us to change, we would stand up for him forever, as did the brave Spartans at Thermopylae—Martinsburg (W.

Dallas, Texas.—The Texas supreme court has decided the noted Maria Hamilton land case, involving hair a league of land in Hardin county, in the heart of the oil and lumber region, valued at more than $100,000, in favor of the descendants of Maria Hamilton, a former slave. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1907. ROOSEVELT "CONSISTANCY." NO TAFT IN OURS 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 defeat as the result of a speech delivered at Akron by secretary of war, Wm. 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 as Rosevelt 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 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-American and does not now. Recently it was announced that "The Clansman," Tom Dixon's firebrand 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 alleged 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-Rooseveiting 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.

Clemens, Mich., is noted the world over for the wonderful magnetic properties and curative and healing qualities of her widely celebrated medicinal mineral waters, and so justly and meritedly popular have her famous waters become that she is truly called the "Bath City" of America. There many thousands of people go annually from every quarter of the earth to be healed of their diseases through the magical, if not miraculous, effect produced from partaking of and bathing in these most wonderful waters. Here many thousands are each year permanently healed of all manner of disease such as: Rheumatic Afections, Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Stiffened Joints, Sciatica, Lumbago, Muscular Rheumatism, Gout, Eczema, Salt Rheum, Psoriasis, Erysipelas, Scrofula, Blood Poisoning in all its forms, Mercurial Poisoning, Liver Troubles, Paralysis, Locomotor-Ataxia, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, Innsomnia, Hysteria, Alcoholism, St. Vitus Dance, etc., Female Diseases, Cataract Troubles, Kidney and Bladder Diseases, Diabetes, Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Constipation, Constitutional Headache, etc., etc., which stubbornly refuse to yield to the treatment of their home physicians and, after a short, restful, health giving vacation, baths, return again, their homes and buildings are rejuvenated in mind and body with a new lease of life, as it were. Our people need no longer to hesitate to go to Mt. Clemens, because at last a first class place to stop has been provided by Mr. George I. Hutchinson, an enterprising member of the group. His Mt. Clemens Hotel and Mineral Bath House is provided with electric lights, hot and cold water, electric bell service in every room, first class table service on both the American and European plans.

Columbus, O—Senator Foraker Saturday told personal friends he did not look upon Secretary Taft as a presidential possibility. The senior senator believes the Afro-American, organized labor and railroad votes will play an important part in the next presidential nomination and with these factors against Taft, Foraker thinks in the game of "elimination" Taft will be the first "it." He let his Columbus friends understand to an absolute certainty that Taft was only a minor character in the fight between himself and Roosevelt, and if needs be he would be forced to take up the fight against some other candidate later on. The Cleveland Gazette. One among the spiciest and most up-to-date Negro journals that make their weekly visit to our desk is the Cleveland Gazette, published at Cleveland, Ohio, by Hon. Harry C. Smith, ex-member of the Ohio legislature, Editor Smith is a polished and able writer, whose sound advice to the race carries with it the right ring.

Over in the Salmon river meadows country, in Idaho, ranged a wild and woolly bunch of long-haired cow punchers, whose knowledge of the world was confined mainly to trips after cattle into surrounding counties. Into this reckless but verdant community there came the smooth-tongued representative of a wild west show, who hired several riders at a high salary to do a hair-raising act, the chief feature being that they should appear to be thrown from their horses and dragged by the foot. After they had practiced in a corral for a while one of them loosened himself and rising from the dirt, disheveled and dazed, inquired: "Say, mister, ain't this ruther dangerous? We might git killed." "That's all right," chirped the show's representative cheerfully. "Your salary will go on just the name." -Lippincott's Magazine. THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE. Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch —Cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost of Seventy-Five Cents. "My little boy, when only an infant of three months, caught the Cuban Itch. Sores broke out from his head to the bottom of his feet. He would itch and claw himself and cry all the time. He could not sleep day or night, and a light dress is all he could wear. I called one of our best doctors to treat him, but he seemed to get worse. He suffered so terribly that my husband said he, believed he would have to die. I had almost given up hope when a lady friend told me to try the Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuticura Soap and applied the Cuticura Ointment and he at once fell into a sleep, and he slept with ease for the first time since two months. After three applications the sores began to dry up, and in just two weeks from the day I commenced to use the Cuticura Remedies my baby was entirely well. The treatment only cost me 756, and I would have gladly paid $100 if I could not have it cheaper. I feel safe in saying that the Cuticura Remedies saved his life. He is now a boy of five years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City, R. F. D. No. 1, Branch Co., Mich., May 17, 1906." Injury from Mosquitos injury from mosquitoes. New Jersey has many places ideal in situation and accessibility, and one such place developed rapidly to a certain point and there it stood, halted by the mosquitoes that bred in the surrounding marsh lands. Country club, golf, tennis and other attractions ceased to attract when attention was necessarily focused on the biting or stinging pests that intruded everywhere, and the tendency was to sell out. But the owners were not ready to quit without a fight, and an improvement society was formed which consulted with my office and followed my advice. In one year the bulk of the breeding area was drained, mosquitoes have since been absent almost entirely; one gentleman, not a large owner, either, told me his property had increased $50,000 in value, and new settlers began to come in. This year one of the worst breeding areas of the olden day was used as a camping ground, and 100 new residences are planned for next year.—Prof. John B. Smith, in the Popular Science Monthly. A Spider That Fishes. Prof. Berg, in Buenos Ayres, has discovered a spider which practices fishing at times. In shallow places it spins between stones a two-winged, conical net, on which it runs in the water and captures small fish, tadpoles, etc. That it understands its work well is shown by the numerous shriveled skins of little creatures that lie about in the web net.

There was a moment of profound silence. He was the first to speak "You are richer than I am," he falted, with emotion. She bowed her head, replying nothing. But now the true nobility of his character manifested itself. "Yet for all that I am no better than you are!" he cried, and folded her to his breast. And when, her conscience accusing her, she tried to tell him that not only her father but four of her uncles were Pittsburgh millionaires, he sealed her lips with kisses, and would hear nothing.—Puck. THE REORGANIZED NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY The new Board of Trustees of the New York Life Insurance Company, chosen by the policyholders under the Armstrong laws, has taken charge of the company's affairs and has begun the work of reorganization. In choosing the principal officers of the company, the Board has adhered to the idea that a life insurance company should be managed by life insurance men. The new president is Darwin P. Kingsley, a college bred man of good New England stock, who has been in the company's service in a variety of capacities for a period of nearly twenty years. In the parlance of life insurance, he "began with the rate book" and has advanced step by step up to his present position. The first vice president of the company is Thomas A. Buckner, who has served the company for more than a quarter of a century—indeed has never had any other business connection. Associated with these men are others long trained in the company's service, each an expert in his own department of work. Wm. E. Ingersoll, who has for many years had charge of the company's great business in Europe, is one of the second vice presidents, and will continue at the head of the company's office in Paris. Rufus W. Weeks, who has been in the company's service for nearly forty years, ranks next to Mr. Buckner as vice president, and continuous as chief actuary of the company. the policyholders have expressed their belief in this company in no uncertain terms. The upheaval in life insurance within the last two years has resulted in a great deal of misunderstanding and policymakers, alarmed on matters which were not very clear to them, have been disposed to give up their contracts at a heavy sacrifice. This has not been true in the New York Life to any great extent. The company had $2,000,000,000 insurance on its books when the life insurance investigation began, and while the laws of the State of New York now do not permit any company to write over $150,000,000 a year (which is about one-half the New York Life formerly did), the company's outstanding business still exceeds $2,000,000,000. Policyholders generally will be still further reassured by this action of the Board, as it places at the head of the company to protect their interests men of thorough training and unexceptionable character. Good for Evil. One Sunday a teacher was trying to illustrate to her small scholars the lesson. "Return good for evil." To make it practical she said: "Suppose, children, one of your schoolmates should strike you, and the next day you should bring him an apple—that would be one way of returning good for evil." To her dismay one of the little girls spoke up quickly: "Then he would strike you again to get another apple!" Ambiguous. At the death of a much-loved pastor some years ago the vestry of a prominent New York church resolved to place a tablet to his memory in the vestibule of the church, tells Harper's Weekly. In due time the tablet appeared in its place, where it still remains. It has caused not a few smiles; for, after reciting a list of the former pastor's virtues and labors, it closes with the quotation: "Now the people of God have rest." Her Disease. One day Marjorie, aged three, wanted to play doctor with her sister. Marjorie was the "doctor," and she came to make a call on her sister, who made believe she was sick. "Do you want to know what you've got?" the doctor asked, after a critical examination. "Yes," faintly assented the sick woman. "You've got dirty hands," said Marjorie, dropping in disgust the wrist on which she had been feeling the pulse. DOCTOR'S FOOD TALK Selection of Food One of the Most Important Acts in Life. A Mass. doctor says: "Our health and physical and mental happiness are so largely under our personal control that the proper selection of food should be, and is one of the most important acts in life. "On this subject, I may say that I know of no food equal in digestibility, and more powerful in point of nutrition, than the modern Grape-Nuts, four heaping teaspoons of which is sufficient for the cereal part of a meal, and experience demonstrates that the user is perfectly nourished from one meal to another. "I am convinced that the extensive and general use of high class foods of this character would increase the term of human life, add to the sum total of happiness and very considerably improve society in general. I am free to mention the food, for I personally, know of its value." Grape-Nuts food can be used by babes in arms, or adults. It is ready cooked, can be served instantly, either cold with cream, or with hot water or hot milk poured over. All sorts of puddings and fancy dishes can be made with Grape-Nuts. The food is concentrated and very economical, for four heaping teaspoons are sufficient for the cereal part of a meal. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1907. Scores Both Roosevelt and Taft! 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 American party, we have made it possible to be achieved when defeat seemed imminent, without any 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 the forces for a triumphant campaign 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 and shoot to death the glorious Americans, the stars and stripes, he is not in it. We recommend to loyal Americana 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 dissolve 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 American spirit to "stand pat" when we inhabit class or organization of men seek to secure his elimination from public life, whether it be the president 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 cabinet of General Grant, was a true friend to our oppressed brethren in the south, we regret that duty to our race and country compels 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 him if nominated. We have reached that point. We would prefer to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, 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 starchamber 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. Signed: "C. L. Maxwell. Xenla." "Chesley D. " lite, Steubenville, "J. M. Glimere, 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 1963, 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 riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and that the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore be 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. Wm. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1904, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the dismissal without trial of 187 brave and mertiorious soldiers, many of them grown gray in the service of their country, has made the South 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.

"Madam," he chuckled, spearing a green strawberry and holding it above his saucer, "I understand that you entered the boarding-house business merely to save enough money to become an actress. Am I right?" The landiady stared at him coldly. "Yes, Mr. Highball," she responded in rasping tones. "I am boarding beats at present so that I may be able to beat the boards later on."

NERVOUS COLLAPSE IS OFTEN PREVENTED BY DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. Taken When the First Warning Symptoms Are Noticed Much Needless Suffering May Be Saved. Are you troubled with pallor, loss of spirits, waves of heat passing over the body, shortness of breath after slight exertion, a peculiar skipping of the heart beat, poor digestion, cold extremities or a feeling of weight and fullness? Do not make the mistake of thinking that these are diseases in themselves and be satisfied with temporary relief. This is the way the nerves give warning that they are breaking down. It simply means that the blood has become impure and cannot carry enough nourishment to the nerves to keep them healthy and able to do their work. Rest, alone, will sometimes give the needed relief. The tonic treatment by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, however, prepares the breakdown of the nerves and the blood, which follow, because the pills act directly upon the impure blood, making it rich, red and pure. Mrs. E. C. Bradley, of 103 Parsell avenue, Rochester, N. Y., says: "I was never very healthy and some years ago, when in a run-down condition, I suffered a nervous shock, caused by a mistrust to a friend. It was so grim that I gave up to go. "I was just weak, low-spirited and nervous. I could hardly walk and not bear the least noise. My appetite was poor and I did not care for food. I couldn't sleep well and once for two weeks got scarcely an hour's sleep. I had severe headaches most of the time and pains in the back and spine. I was being under the care of one of them for six months. I got no relief and then decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I soon began to feel better and the improvement was general. My appetite became hearty and my sleep better. The headaches all left and also the pains in the back and more boxes entirely removed. I was able to go back to work. I felt splendid and as though I had never been sick." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are invaluable in such diseases as rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and fouls, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drugists, or will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
