THE
TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 51.
SUMMER MODE
THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WESTERN WESTERN
Fashion is looking up, and the influence of clothes is being realized. There is no doubt that clothes to a very great extent make the woman, and that man is more easily allured by the grace of the gown than the grace of the mind, although, of course, he would have you think otherwise, and will hold forth with considerable emphasis on the text that no man ever knows what costume a woman has on, nor is he at all concerned with the shape of her hat, or the way she does her hair! Any woman realizes more accurately the real masculine attitude towards the feminine fashions. And what are the feminine fashions just at the moment? Well, they are making conclusively for the diaphanous fabric, the feathered hat and the lace insertion.
The new model Irish lace dresses are quite delightful, specially those which have loose lace coats, and skirts which fit tightly round the hips and flow outward at the feet. I prefer the loose coat and the thin blouse which is entirely made of lace, and more especially would I recommend this to the stout woman, for there is much recollection in the full loose coat, which at once conceals the outlines and disguises its attempt. Lace is not as transparent in its method as in its outward seeming.
Still, under any circumstances the Irish lace dress, whether from Paris or from the Emerald isle, is not within the reach of most of us. We content ourselves, and well content ourselves, too, with dresses of fine lace, dresses of lawn, dresses of muslin. Never were the muslins prettier, especially as some one remarked with more wit than wisdom, "when they are cotton volles." Cotton volles grow in number, and improve in quality every day, while they remain pleasantly within the grasp of the most limited income, and disport themselves gayly with stripes and checks and spots and flowered patterns, the stripes being most prominently in favor in every color and size.
I advise those who choose a black and white stripe to be careful to select the narrowest, for in wide stripes lurks ever the suggestion of Brother Bones in his Sunday best. The narrow black stripe is altogether delightful when supplied with the appropriate vest of net or lace, and perhaps a touch of pale blue ribbon to form a tie or the edge of the collar band.
Mussil and net ribbon-trimmed hats are asserting their right to consideration, and the manufacturers have devised many novelties in hats of linen, but these being destined to take the place of the panama, and assuming equally nondescript shapes, shapes which lend themselves to individual influence, and will appear smiling and even becoming when the crown is bunched into a hollow, and the brim irregularly convulsed. The linen hats with stitched brims and stitched crowns are trimmed with scars of crepe de chine or soft silk, the ends being embroidered and fringed. The newest belt is made of leather of one color, and striped with leather of another color, and this looks its best with a white foundation and striped in black. But elastic belts continue popular, no doubt, by reason of their adaptability, and belts of ribbon either buckled or held with embroidered buttons or hooks, are particularly becoming in the small waist. Much favor is still being shown to the ribbon belt, which is made in one with over-sleeves and

braces of ribbon, these braces being either frilled or plain, made of the ribbon treated simply, or made of piece silk adorned with a trellis of silk the best effect being gained by some dark ribbon which matches the skirt, while the blouse with which these are worn is of fine white soft lawn.
China silk is also much in request, mostly bearing a design on either border, while the groundwork is invariably white, and silver embroideries glisten trumpantly from foundation of straw-colored net.
Straw and buff are tones which hold their own, and may be found in net,

Black taffeta, trimmed with black silk insertion. The skirt is tucked to fit round the hips. Black hat with long white feather fastened with a buckle.
chiffon and glace, and attractive cloth frocks also strike these notes, and they look well if allied skillfully to black and white stripes. Light colored cloth and heavy guiure lace, and black and white stripes are a favorable union of fashion, and those whom fashion has joined let na woman set asunder until fashion has us convinced they do not agree.
Profitable Tobacco Growing.
The American tobacco crop has within the last few years assumed greatly increased importance. Quality as well as the quantity has improved. The farmers in some parts of the south, where this crop has been taken up, are making money beyond their fondest dreams in the cultivation of tobacco, and it is said that the unusual sight has been witnessed there of the agents of the large manufacturing companies practically on their knees begging for a few bales of tobacco.
Statistics of Great Industry.
At the census of 1905 the number of sawnmills reported was 18,277, and their combined capital was $91,621,184. They furnished employment on the average to 223,674 wage earners, paid $100,108,91 in wages, consumed materials costing $263,865,101, and manufactured products to the value of $491,524,662. In this industry Wisconsin ranked first in value of products, Washington second, Michigan third, Louisiana fourth and Pennsylvania fifth.

grand jury to return indictments. The senate committee thereupon adjourned until Nov. 18. From present indications, it stands 8 to 4 against the soldiers with one member doubtful. There are several southern democratic members and also nearly an equal number of northern democrats on the committee. In spite of this fact there are several who so strongly in the favor of "The Black Battalion" is the great preponderance of the testimony given before the committee. All of it has been printed by the government and it will be placed in the hands of every member of the United State senate, which has a good working republican majority. Our people of every state should begin now to see that their republican United States senators are right and will vote right when the matter comes up in the senate this fall.
Our local Press Bureau pertinently remarks:
It is not well for our people to take too seriously the "feeler" sent out last week about the president making certain recommendations in behalf of our soldiers. It is an effort to ascertain our attitude in the light of the promise. Keep quiet, and you will be heard; but speak at the ballot box where you will be felt, and felt in no uncertain way. Our people owe a solemn duty to Senator Foraker for the battle he has fought for the triumph of constitutional liberty. No man, not even Sumner, ever risked so much; no man ever fought more valiantly, no man ever deserved so well of the people whose cause he has championed. We must defend him, must stand up for him no matter what the cost or how great the sacrifice is too great to be made for him. We have entered the fight for Foraker, and we are in it to stay. We demand the re-reinstitution of the discharged and disgraced battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry and will not be satisfied with promises. We must have the re-reinstitution of the men and all back pay must be given them with all their rights prior to their lynching at Brownsville, Texas. We demand this as a matter of right, and until this is done there will be war to the knife. In the battle there is to be no yelling from the house top, but we are going to strike where it will be felt and re-institute. Our cry will be the offenses of President Obama, the loosely Brownsville and the decision to interstate commerce the commission. Both proceed from the same source and both are prompted by the same spirit—a desire to win the affection of the south and pay the southern senators for their votes in passing the rate bill. Down with such un-Americanism!
Hereafter southern railroads (in states having "Jim Crow" car laws) that seat white and colored intrastate passengers in separate cars must provide equally good accommodations for the same money to both. That is the ruling of the Interstate commerce commission. Georgia Edwards, colored, bought a first-class ticket over the Nashville line and was put in a car for Negroes. The cars for whites had wash-bowls and towels and smoking compartments, smoking not being allowed of these cars. The car for Negroes was without these inexpensive comforts. Commissioner Lane in his opinion quotes the supreme court and the former decisions of the commission to the effect that the separation of intra-state passengers is not unlawful when carried out "without disadvantage to either race and with increased comfort to both." "Cars and accommodations equal in all respects" and "equal protection to passengers" must be provided. This rule is broken when a respectable colored woman paying full fare is thrust into a sexton blue with tobacco smoke and possibly made additionally offensive by unrestrained rough language and conduct. She is entitled to "protection" as well as to equal accommodations. Intra-state passengers are those riding from one point in a state to another in the same state.
RACE TREASON NO.1.
The first open sign of treason to the cause of the race has come to light. The Taft bureau in Ohio has sent to every colored paper, and has had printed in every white Taft Roosevelt paper in Ohio an editorial from the New York Age, in which the precious plea is made that Roosevelt's plant tool, Secretary Taft, proves that he is a friend of our race by ACCEPTING the place as trustee of the $1,000,000 Jeanes fund for southern Negro education offered him by Booker T. Washington.
This editorial from a traitorous colored newspaper which is really owned by the principal of Tuskegee institute, and in which Tim Fortune can only write what the Tuskegee man will permit, if in fact he writes anything at all, is too flagrant to fool anyone and will not make a single colored vote for Roosevelt.
It's dishonesty and cowardice in not daring to reproduce that part of the editorial which was a quotation from a paper that called Booker Washington's selection of Taft an insult to our race, would in itself condemn it as base. But its use by the Taft bureau for colored papers only proves what we said, that Taft was got purposely by Booker Washington as a political back to make Taft appear a friend of the president. The whole contemptible business will only serve to prove to Booker Washington's friends that he is now the most dangerous foe to his race and vindicate our opposition to his being accepted as a political leader.

for a record?

According to daily newspaper re-
ports, Dr. Booker T. Washington says
‘President Roosevelt told:him that he

tinually “starts things.” However, it
will be weli for him to keep up his

No politics was injected into the re-
cent commencement exercises of Wil
berforce university. Only vital_mat-
ters of race interest were discussed
by Senator Foraker. ‘President Jones,
his board of trustees and everybody
else except the Taft boomers and
those subsidized by them, are still
thoroughly pleased and perfectly sat-
isfled, after having “calmly welghed
the whole matter.” The subsidized
New York Age, particularly, will
plenne edke the Sink:
‘The National Afro-American coun-
cil’s address to the country, and its
President, Bishop Alexander Walters’
annual address to the organization
at its recent yearly meeting in Baitl-
more, Md., were just what the race
needed at this time—plain, yet force-
ful, truthful and fearless statements
of facts. The result is, that, national
ace organization has risen greatly in
the estimation of all “loyal Afro-
Americans. May the council's stand-
ard never again be lowered 1s our
sincere and earnest wish,
“SEGREGATION IN POLITICS.”
A few months ago an Afro-Ameri-
can im the city of. Chicago was nomi:
nated, on the regular republican tlek-
et for a judgeship. Immediately our
people of that city gave it out that
they were going to elect an Afro-
American judge. This agitation of
‘the race question In connection with
the judgeship drew the white people
together, and as a result they voted
against the Afro-American and he was
defeated. Had the Afro-Americans
of Chicago gone quietly ahead and
worked to elect the ticket, without
calling attention to the fact that an
Afro-American was a candidate for
Judge, there is no doubt that he would
have been elected.—N. Y. Age.
‘As usual, here of late, the Age's
editor is wrong. Ferdinand L. Bar-
nett was elected Judge, but was count.
ed out and not for the reason our con-
‘trere alleges. It was simply a game
of very bad politics—the counting out
of Barnett. That is all. No such con-
dition existed In Chicago upon the
part of Afro-Americans there, as the
Age charges. Then too it is positive-
ly silly for any sane person in this
day and time to talk about citizens
of a city the size of Chicago going
“quietly ahead” and working “to elect
the ticket,” without calling attention
to the fact that an Afro-American was
@ candidate on it. Every man, wo-
man and child in the community
would know it and keep it in mind
Just as much, if not more, if such an
effort were made. The Afro-Ameri-
gan has tlothing to fear here in the
north from our confrere’s bugaboo
(segregation in politics) because
there Is absolutely no danger of their
‘being too much of it. That ig an im-
possibility! “The fact of the matter
is the bisek man’s success in this
‘section of the country Is almost en-
tirely dependent upon such influence
ashe can bring to bear along that
Jine of action upon the powers that
be, being so largely in the minority
as @ factor of the republican party
everywhere. White voters will not
band themselves together to defeat
Afro-American candidates because
they themselves cogregate along ra-
lal and organization lines whenever
they find it necessary to do so. This
Is at times @ very proper thing for
them to do, too. Indeed it 1s the only
Way to secure certain things they
oftimes hold vitally important. The
Irish, German and other factors of
both the republican and democratic
Darties frequently follow this line of
action. So does organized labor. The
Age's second far-fetched Taft buga-
boo statement that the Afro-Ameri-
‘ean of the north Is likely to be “strip-
ped of his power at the ballot-box,”
because he too, sees fit in the usual
‘way to compel a recognition of his
potency as a republican factor, is as
silly as the Age's statement that:
“Already in Ohio there 1s a feeling
that the entire white vote will go to
Taft because the Afro-Americans are
against him.” Whoever made that
‘Statement, toid a wilfull lie that is as
barefaced as it is ridiculous. Such
@ condition is simply an imposatbil-
ity. “Whenever it comes to an is
eue,” If tt ever does, it will be found
‘that within the ranks of the repub-
‘ican party of the state of Ohio, Sen-
‘ator Foraker has ten friends to every
one the subsidized Taft movement
can marshall. It will take a much
longer time than has elapsed since
Secretary Taft delivered his now no-
torlously traitorous speech at Akron
in 1905, for the republicans of this
state to forget the disaster he brought
to the party atthe fail election of
that year. It has been placed to his
Aiseredit by all loyal members of the
party in Ohio, without "reference to
Tace or class, and there {t will re-
main until such time as they may see
fit to remove it—in the dim misty
future. The only individuals who are
“feathering thelr own nests” are the
vietims of the “illy-white” Taft boom-
erang subsidizers who seem to have
the editor of the Age safely in thelr
clutches, we are sorry to say. For
his information, we wish to: add, that
‘Ohio Afro-Americans who have au-
nounced their determination to stand
by Senator Foraker as faithfully as
he has stood by “The Black Battal
Jon” and the entire race, and who have
adso announced their determination
not to support next year Taft, Roose-
velt or any man he may name, are
not of the kind he has evidently been
accustomed to in New York state or
elsewhere who are in the habit of ac-
cepting orders from “cliques of white”
or any other kind of “men.” The
Ohio Afro-AmeHean os a MAN all the
time and not a political or other hire-
ling at any time, HOW THE AGE
HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST FEW
WEEKS! WHAT HAS CAUSED IT?
THE RECENT INTERSTATE COM.
MERCE COMMISSION RULING.
According to recent Washington
Aispatches to the dally newspapers of
the country, the interstate commerce
commission has ruled that the su-
preme court of the United States has
upheld the right to segregate white
and colored passengers on railroads.
‘It can legally do nothing of the kind.
‘Therefore elther the newspaper dis-
patches referred to are wrong or the
Jnterstate commerce commission ts in
‘error. The supreme court of the
United States has ruled that any state
has the right under the law to enact
4 “Jim Crow” car law for’intra-state
Passengers; those traveling from one
point to another in the same state.
‘The recent interstate commerce com-
mission decision unquestionably has
reference to this kind of, passengers.
The supreme court has not as yet
handed down a decision upholding
the action of many southern states in
thus discriminating against inter-
state passengers, but on the contrary
has in recent months ruled against
“Sim Crow” car laws’ interference
with the free and unrestricted rights
of first class inter-state passengers to
sit wherever they please on railroad
and other trains, the inter-state pas-
Sse Delng one who travels tron
‘one point in one state to a point In
another state. Sald passenger may
‘eros one or more states in going
from starting point to end of journey.
Insofar as the inter-state commerce
commission insists upon states hav-
ing “Jim Crow” car laws for intra.

The one thing the Negro voter in
Ohio and all over the United States
must keep seriously before him is not
to be @ “dud.” In Cleveland if the
G. 0. P. organs, who have spoken so
sweet-scentedly of our people want to
beat “Johnsonism,” they must have
the Negro voter to heip do the job.
But if they are so much in earnest
they must be willing to give and
take. Tltese papers run by. white
folk who are not of gentle blood ought
to be decent enough to speuk respect-
fully of our people in public print
and must give up “Taftism” if they
want our help to beat “Johnsonism.”
‘They must be made to learn at the
ballot box, if they cannot see the
signs of the times, that the Negro
Voter does not propose to have Taft
shoved down his “craw” by means of
the republican ticket. Taft Is offen:
sive to the Negro voter and the rp-
publican ticket must not also be made
So. Care must be taken in selecting
the G. 0. P. nominee for mayor in
Cleveland, and in fact in all our elt:
es, because the Negro voter has his
blood up and will walk grimly to the
polls and do some frightful scratch-
ing if proper men, who have always
spoken respectfully of our race and
acted properly toward them, either as
a private citizen or as a servile of
fice seeker, are not chosen. If this
‘Taft propaganda is not soon dropped,
then there may be consequences on
the day muntclpal elections are held.
Negro voters, a few of our race hold.
ing petty office, may want us to let
ko of our self-respect and a fine op:
portunity to “crack” somebody by vot-
ing the G. 0. P. ticket once more
straight as we have done in the past.
If we are to give, let the people who
are trying to force Taft on us, give
some and drop his case. The G. 0.
P. politicians think our voters will
forget at the last and be amenable
to cash, but the Negro who does that
4s unworthy to have sucked “mother's
milk” at a Spartan “black mammy's”
breast. He would be an ingrate to
his race and should be justly treated

have written ig quite enough to warn
‘our people of Ohio and wherever The
Gazette is read throughout the coun
try, to stay away from the Jamestown
exposition. ‘W. H. TURNER,
SENATOR FORAKER.
The free trade N. Y. Times (dem.)
would have Senator Foraker removed
from the United States senate, and
possibly from public life, but fortn-
nately it is a question in which The
Times will have but little influence;
the matter rests wholly with the vot:
erg of Ohio and we have not the least
doubt that Senator Foraker will be re-
turned to his present seat to trouble
‘The Times und those who think as {t
does a few years longer, This will be
the most fitting answer that The
‘Times can receive as to ‘the mistrust
the ‘Amerlean people must feel for
rm
Let The Times fully understand this
fact, that the welcome that was ex-
tended to Senator Foraker at Wilber-
force university a few days ago, cor-
rectly expresses the feelings of the
Afro-American race towards a truly
great man. This feeling belongs to
the whole race, and not a part, as The
Times seems to think, nor Is this feel-
ing simply expressive for his efforts
in righting a great wrong that will
ever be a blot upon the career of the
president and his secretary of war,
but for his unswerving belief in doing
what he thinks is right and just since
he has been in public life.
‘We know not whether Mr. Foraker
will be the choice of the national con-
vention, nor do we know that he
wishes to be such a candidate, but
The Times can be assured of this
fact, that the Afro-American voter
may not be able to name the dele-
gates from the several northern and
western states, but they will be an ef.
fective force in the election cr defeat
of the next nominee of the natidnal
‘convention. The time has arrived
that this class of voters think for
themselves and are not tied to the
tallend of any ticket that may be
named. It may be fully known now
as later, that neither Theodore Roose-
velt, Elihu Root, or Judge Taft, can
or will receive the support of the
Afro-American voters of northern,

tion has-very fortunately opened up
the whole legal aspect of the separate

could not be required to move, then
colored citizens who! might take a seat
in the white section could not be re-
quired to change their seats.
A Mixed School Victory.
Topeka, Kan—The supreme court
hag decided that Wichita, by its board
of education, in the absence of status
tory authority, has no right to exclude
a child because of {ts color from any
of its public schools, The action was
brought in the Wichita district court
by Mrs. Sallie Rowles, on a writ of
mandamus to compel the school board
of the city of Wichita to admit her
daughter, Fannie, fo the Emerson
school. in 1889 Wichita passed an or-
dinance providing separate schools for
our children. The district court re-
fused the mandamus action of Mrs.
Rowles. She appealed to the supreme
court, which has reversed the Sedg-
wick court ruling.

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.
a EE———————EE
Hink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made
@ 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. e
"Thie chemist saya that bis experience and study have taugbt him that the scalp of the colored people requires speciad
treatment and after laboring and teeting these many sears 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 care
fally followed out. We ‘have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate whem
‘we make these claims. - + te anv oom :
KKINK-INB is the only safe preparation in the world that is bape “pe make the hair straight and make éy
hhair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kif and knots, cures dandrufl, makes the baie
oft and silky, and by nourishing the roote gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural calor,
Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago eays of KINK-INE: “My bair was not more than three inches beng
when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago, I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an aver
‘age of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and %
fully believe by the end of the year I will have the moat beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world.” @

MAN IN WESTERN CANADA.
‘Three Years Ago Worth Only $2,000;
‘To-Day Is Worth $13,000.
* ‘The following is a copy of a letter,
‘ot which the Agents of the Canadian
Goverament throughout. the Unitec
‘States receive similar ones many
times during the year:
Gayley, Alta., Dec. 7, 1996,
Agent Canadian Government,
‘Watertown, S. D.
Dear Sir: |
‘Your letter dated Nov. 27th at-hand
and was very glad to hear from you.
Ieee that you are still at work per-
‘suading people to move into the Cana-
dian Northwest. 1 must tell you that
Tewe you many thanks for persuading
me to come out here, am only sorry
‘that I wasn't persuaded sooner, and
there ts still plenty of good chances
for many more right at the present
time. I hope that you will be able to
induce more to make a start out to
this part of the country.
Now I must tell you what I have
Accomplished since I came out here
‘and it won't be three years till the 1st
ot July. I shall shortly recolve my
patent for my homestead, the home-
stead cost me $10.00 in all, to-day it is
worth $30,00-per acre, but it is not for
sale. Then 8 year ago last May I
‘bonght $20 acres at $7.00 per acre and
sold this fall for $20.00 per acre and
cleared a mrtfit of $4,190.00. How ts
_ that for the Northwest? I now have
220 acres of land and allpald for, 15
head of horses, 30 head of cattle, 22
pigs, 2 sheop and about 150 chickens
and other poultry, and all new ma-
chinerg and everything 1s pald for.
We also bought 8 lots in Calgary and
7 in High River. Wo gave $470. for
‘the 15 lots and they are paid for. At
present I consider mysolf worth $13,
‘000.00, sind when I left Wisconsin less
than three years ago I had about
$2,000.00, ‘This year I threshed a little
over 4,000 bushels of grain, have
about one thousand bushels of fine
Potatoes ang abobt five hundred bush-
els of turnips. Mra. Beisiegel sold
about $200 worth of garden truck and
‘poultry this fall. Now there are lots
of others in this community who did
as well as I did in the samo length of
time.
‘The family and myself ato all well
at this writing and hope this letter
‘will find you the same.
‘Yours very truly,

Celery will be one of the princtpal
‘erops produced in the neighborhood
Canon, City, Col., this season. ‘This
due to the fact that the late frosts
seriously injured the fruit crop, and
‘the growers have now begun to plan
‘celery. Celery has been raised suo-
‘cessfully by a few growers, and has
been found to be one of the best pay-
ing crops. One grower reallzed $1,575
from one anda half acres last year,
-another $600 on less than an acre.
‘The cost of an acre of planting and
are is about $250. The demand for
the crop has always been greater than
the supply.

+A SMALL. SECRET.
Couldn't Understand the Taste of
‘Hie Customers.
‘Tro men were discussing the var

‘One, a grocer, sald, “I frequently try

before offering it to my trade, and in
that way sometimes form a different
idea than my customers have.
“For instance, I thought I would try
some Postum Food Coffee, to see what
‘Feason there was for such a call for it.
At breakfast I didn’t Ike it end supper
Proved the same, so I maturally con:
cluded that my ‘taste was different
from that of the customers who bought

"A day or two after, I.waited on 2

One could fancy the taste of Postum.
“I know just what is the matter;
she sald, ‘you put the coffee boiler ot

splendid deciaration of principles;
anti-Taft rosolutions, and” provided
for a permanent orgamization known
as the Oblo Afro-American league,
the wildest cheering and enthustastle
acclaim was heard for a block.
Declaration of Principles.
“We are republicans from principle
and not because of office or emolu-
ment.
“As republicans, we demand and in-
sist that equal and exact justice shall
be granted to all integral parta of the
Ereat body politic.
“As loyal and falthful members of
the republican party, wo have made
it possible for victory to be achieved
when defeat seemed tmmineat, 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 consklered as pawns in the great
game of party politics and are deter-
mined to call a halt.
“The presidential embrogiio in
Ohio affords us the opportunity of an-
nouncing to the world our convictions
‘and aligning: our forces: for a) trium:
pant campaign against the combined
armies of hatred, prejudice and tn-
difference toward us within the party
ranks,
“President” Roosevelt has not been
uniformly fst and square in his deal-
mniga with the Afro-American and can-
mot 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. favor-
{te uncles had fought under the stars
and bars during the rebellion. If be
was proud of the fact that they fought
to Keep our forbeara in servile bond:
age and shoot to death the glorious
emblem of our country, the stare and
stripes, he is not in a positien to
recommend to loyal Americans a can-
Gidate on the republican ficket for
president to succeed himself,
“We are faithful to our friends and
Getenders. We havo not forgotten
that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell
Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smita,
‘William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sum:
ner, Honry Ward Beecher, Judge Al-
dion W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade,
Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John
Brown, the sainted Lincoin and thou-
sands ‘of others who suffered in our
behalf; and we know that uot one of
them, ‘it called back to life, would
express a feeling of pride that any
of his. relatives had fought to, dis
solve the Union and against himan
freedom.
“We are for Senator Foraker, for
anything he wants, whether
presidest of the Ualted States, re
‘election to the senate of the United
States or retirement to private life.
But whatever his personal ambition
“may be, we believe in the inherent
right of every American citizen to
“stand pat” whenever any individual,
‘class or organization of men seek to
secure his elimination from public
life, 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
general In the cabinet of General
Grant, was a true friend to our op-
Dressed brethren in the aouth, we re
ret that duty to our race and coun-
try compels us to state that on Wil
Ham H. Taft, distinguished as ho 15,
¢annot 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 admitted:
ly the personal candidate of Theodore
Roosevelt. While we aro aware of
the fact that conditions may bring
about bis nomination, we also belleve
that conditions and votes will bring
about his defeat if nominated, We
jhave reached that point where we
would prefer to have ia the office. of
president a man of different political
faith, than to elect to that exalted of
fice & supposed political friend who
would be false to the baste princlplos
of the grand republican party.
“We declare that henceforth and
forever, 80 long as we remain {den-
tied with the republican party as
firm believers in its principles, and
active workers tor its success, giving
to it our numerical support without
which, in many counties, districts

SOMEWHAT OF A REFLECTION,
Naive Comment of Debutante That
Aen Hicetaas,
A charming hostess of one of the
“big houses,” as they are called by
those who are welcomed into them,
has the added beauty of premature
white halr. That which seems to her
contemporaries an added charm may
appear to the crudely young a mark
of decline, at least so {t appears In
‘one instance of which the hostess her-
self tells with enjoyment.
‘The lady is a connoisseur of an-
tiques. At one of her teas a debutante
rich with the glow of youth, but sadly
constrained with her sense of novelty,
was handed a cup of tea; the cup
was beautifully blue and wonderfully
old. The hostess desiring to light
en the strain on her youthful guest
by a pleasant diverting remark, said:
“That little cup is a hundred and fit
ty years old!”
“Oh,” camo the debutante's high
strained tones: “How careful you
must be to have kept it so long!”

Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suf.

‘Cured by Cuticura.
“Small sores appeared on each of
my lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became so sore that I could
scarcely walk. The sores began to
heal, but small scaly eruptions ap-
peared. The itching was so severe
that I would scratch the sores until the
blood besan to flow. After I suffered
thus about ten years I made a renewed
effort to effect a cure. The eruptions
by this time had appeared on every
part of my body except my face and
hands. ‘The best doctor in my native
county and many remedies gave no
relief. All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and I was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, I thought I would try Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After
using three boxes I was completely
cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen years of suffering and an ex-
penditure of at least $50 or $60 In vain-
ly endeavoring to find a cure. B.

ENTICED BY THE BAR.
Strenuous Actions Mildly Explained
by the Minister.
Many stories are told of the ec
centric doings and sayings of an
old clergyman who lived in Maine
some years ago. At one time there
had been a fight among some men,
one of whom was seriously hurt. A
trial took piace, and the old minister
who had seen the affray was sui
moned as a witness,
“What was Salson doing?” was
the first question.
- “Oh, he was slashing around.”
“Well, sir, just what do you mean
by that?”
“Why, he was knocking about him
here and there.”
“Now, sir, kindly tell us plain-
ly what Salson did to this man.”
“Why, he—he enticed him,” sald
the old minister slowly. “He enticed
him with a crowbar. He used the
crowbar to persuade the man—to en
tice him; and by a series of pokes
and blows he succeeded in doing it,"
said the minister, mildly.

A certain lady, noted for her kind
heart and open hand, was approached
not long ago by a man who, with
tragic air, began:
“A man, madam, {8 often foreed by

and so it is with me at this time, Un
less, madam, in the name of pity, you
give me assistance, I will be com:

before have done, which I would
Sreatly dislike to’ do.”
Much Impressed, the lady made
haste to place in his hand a five-tol
lar bill. As the man pocketed tt
with profuse thanks, she inquired:
“And what 1s the dreadful thing

man?”
