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 In Union There is Strength. 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, Original Design for an Afternoon Dress. 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. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1907. DEVELOPMENTS! Gen. A. S. Burt Praises "The Black Battalion" and Maj. Penrose, Capts. Macklin and Lyon and Others, Stand Firm for Them. GAZETTE. 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.

All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1954 to 1992, 1986 to 1998, 1900 to 1992. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The Gazette enters its twenty-fifth year next month and has been published every week on time ever since its birth, August 25, 1883. How is that for a record? Gov. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, certainly has "a supreme nerve" in openly advocating disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" legislation of various kinds which is direct conflict with sections of the fundamental law of the land—the United States constitution. We call our readers' attention particularly to the letter published elsewhere in this paper, signed by Capt. Charles Young. Every loyal member of the race, able to do so, ought to contribute something to the Paul Lawrence Dunbar monument fund. Any amount, be it ever so small, will be thankfully received by Dr. D. W. Clark, 222 W. 4th street, Cincinnati, Ohio. According to daily newspaper reports, Dr. Booker T. Washington says President Roosevelt told him that he "likes his job." We judged so from the enthusiasm with which he continually "starts things." However, it will be well for him to keep up his "gait" and get all of the "like" out of "his job" he can this his second and last term. There will be no more for him and none for either of his quondam candidates for the position—Root and Taft. No politics was injected into the recent commencement exercises of Wilk berforce university. Only vital matters 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 isified, after having "calmly welged the whole matter." The subsidized New York Age, particularly, will please note the fact. The National Afro-American council's address to the country, and its president, Bishop Alexander Walters, annual address to the organization at its recent yearly meeting in Balti more, Md., were just what the race needed at this time—plain, yet forceful, truthful and fearless statements of facts. The result is, that national race organization has risen greatly in the estimation of all loyal Afro-Americans. May the council's stand ard never again be lowered is our sincere and earnest wish. "SEGREGATION IN POLITICS." A few months ago an Afro-American in the city of Chicago was nominated, on the regular republican ticket 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. Barnett was elected judge, but was counted out and not for the reason our conferee alleges. It was simply a game of very bad politics—the counting out of Barnett. That is all. No such condition existed in Chicago upon the part of Afro-Americans there, as the Age charges. Then too it is positively silly for any same 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 a candidate on it. Every man, woman 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-American has nothing to fear here in the north from our conferee's bugaboo (segregation in politics) because there is absolutely no danger of their being too much of it. The fact that an impossibility! The fact of the matter is the black man's success in this section of the country is almost entirely dependent upon such influence as he can bring to bear along that line of action upon the powers that be, being so largely in the minority as a factor of the republican party everywhere. White voters will not band themselves together to defeat Afro-American candidates because they themselves segregate along racial and organization lines whenever they find it necessary to do so. This is at times a very proper thing for them to do, too. Indeed it is the only way to secure certain things they oftimes hold vitally important. The Irish, German and other factors of both the republican and democratic parties frequently follow this line of action. So does organized labor. The Age's second far-fetched Taft bugaboo statement that the Afro-American of the north is likely to be "stripped 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 is a feeling that the entire white vote will go to Taft because the Afro-Americans are against him." Whoever made that statement, told a willfull lie that is as bare-faced as it is ridiculous. Such a condition is simply an impossibility. "Whenever it comes to an issue," if it ever does, it will be found that within the ranks of the republican party of the state of Ohio, Senator 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 notoriously traitorous speech at Akron in 1905, for all loyal members of the party in Ohio, without reference to race or class, and there it will remain until such time as they may see fit to remove it—in the dini misty future. The only individuals who are "feathering their own nests" are the victims of the "illy-white" Taft boomerang subsidizers who seem to have the editor of the Age safely in their clutches, we are sorry to say. For his information, we wish to add, that Ohio Afro-Americans who have announced their determination to stand by Senator Foraker as faithfully as he has stood by "The Black Battalion" and the entire race, and who have also announced their determination not to support next year Taft, Roosevelt 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 accepting orders from "cliques of white" or any other kind of "men." The Ohio Afro-American os a MAN all the time and not a political or other hiring 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 dispatches to the daily newspapers of the country, the interstate commerce commission has ruled that the supreme court of the United States has uphold the right to segregate white and colored passengers on railroads. It can legally do nothing of the kind. Therefore either the newspaper dispatches referred to are wrong or the interstate commerce commission is in error. The supreme court of the United States has ruled that any state has the right under the law to enact a "Jim Crow" car law for intra-state passengers; those traveling from one point to another in the same state. The recent interstate commerce commission 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 interstate passengers, but on the contrary has in recent months ruled against "Jim 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 passenger being one who travels from one point in one state to a point in another state. Said passenger may cross one or more states in going from starting point to end of journey. In so-far as the inter-state commerce commission insists upon states having "Jim Crow" car laws for intra-state passengers, compelling their railroads to provide the same and equally good accommodations for both classes, it is in perfect harmony with the amendment to the Hepburn railroad rate bill introduced by Senator Foraker last winter. This is some gain over the present deplorable condition of affairs existing in all states having "Jim Crow" car laws. Olean, N. Y. News. Mrs. Jerry Freeman, of Austin, was here last week.—Master Floyd Snowden was in Belfast.—Karlie Gayton, jr. of Portville, visited her parents last week. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Gayton and family visited Mrs. A. Gayton, of Portville, Sunday.

It seems that the two got into an altercation when the latter attempted to show persons through the house who contemplated renting it as soon as the Bells vacated the premises. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1907. DON'T BE A "DUB!" Some More Warning for Charley Otis, of the Cleveland News and The Leader, Bill Crawford, and Others. BAD EXPOSITION As Far as our People are Concerned, is the Jamestown, Va., Affair. Norfolk, Va.—Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: Every state has a day at the Jamestown exposition, but our people ought to stay away from it. They are not wanted anywhere except at the gate (50c) and in the Negro exhibit, because they are "Jim Crowed" or refused in almost every other place on the grounds. I paid first class fare ($24) for 60 days here, from Cincinnati, and have been "Jim Crowed" at the exposition so much that I begin to feel like a crow, if I do not look like one. In the street cars we are restricted to the three last seats and half of the time we cannot even get the rear seat, because the whites occupy them to smoke. One of our ladies came on from New York, and not been familiar with the Virginia railway, and she took a seat near the rear car and was asked back to the rear seats, which were occupied by whites, thus compelling her to stand—if she had gone as requested. She landed in jail. If you want to purchase a drink of water, they ask you if you have glass to drink it out of. If not, they will not sell you any. I have been here three weeks and have attended the exposition once. Then I found about 12 of our people on the grounds, and very few whites. Our people should not attend the Jamestown exposition. Do not be foolish as I have been and pay out your hard earned money to come away down here to be so grossly insulted and himiplated. I shall go to Ocean View and Washington to go here. The great things of the exposition are at home were what fooled me into doing here. Even the merry-go-round refuses Afro-American patrons. The way things look now, the exposition management will be glad to get money from a dog before the thing is over. I would send you much more along this line, but feel that what I have written is quite enough to warn our people of Ohio and wherever The Gazette is read throughout the country, 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 fortunately it is a question in which The Times will have little influence; the matter rests wholly with the voters of Ohio and we have not the least doubt that Senator Foraker will be returned to his present seat to trouble The Times and those who think as it does a few years longer. This will be the most fitting answer that The Times can receive as to "the mistrust the American people must feel for him." Let The Times fully understand this fact, that the welcome that was extended to Senator Foraker at Wilberforce university a few days ago, correctly 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 feeling 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 convention, 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 delegates from the several northern and western states, but they will be an effective force in the election cr defeat of the national convention. The time is now that this class of voters think for themselves and are not tied to the tail-end of any ticket that may be named. It may be fully known now as later, that neither Theodore Rosevelt, Elihu Root, or Judge Taft, can or will receive the support of the Afro-American voters of northern, middle and western states. This class of voters look upon Jo- seph Benson Foraker as a republican of the old school, that which produced Lincoln, Ben Wade, Joshua Giddings, Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stephens, men who battled earnestly and late for the rights of man. To this day, the foraker belongs, whether he becomes president or will ever receive the confidence of all Afro-Americans in this country.—Philadelphia (Pa.) Weekly Tribune. A Grand Rally. Indeed! Piqua, O.-Cyrene church rally was a success. The companies did well. Co. A, Capt. J. P. Wilson, $314,622. Co. B, Capt. Emma Williams, $200; Rev. W. H. Coleman, $50.50. Total $644.52–Mr. and Mrs. Ed Johnson, of Brandmanon, Ca., are here. The latter is convalescing–Mr. and Mrs. Morris Jackson are visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Taylor–Mr. Homer Collins went to Columbus. Rev. W. H. Norman, of Hamilton, attended the grand rally. Also Rev. T. Watson, of Troy, and Mr. A. J. Johnson, of Troy, and Mr. A. J. Johnson, of Troy, straughther of Dayton, visited Mrs. Straughther of Dayton, Anna Watson, of Troy, visited Mrs. Williams. –Grand rally at Park Avenue Baptist church Sunday. Rev. Lowery, pastor–Rev. J. M. Ross, of Marion, preached only at Cyrene church Sunday. Rev. M. A. Hunter sang several solos during the day, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Evans entertained Revs. Coleman and Ross at dinner. Fired President Chamber of Commerce. Richmond, Va.—Police Judge Cruthfield has fired James R. Gordon $10 for refusing to move out of the "Jim Crow" section when requested to do so by Conductor Powell, of the Virginia Passenger and Power Co. Mr. Gordon noted an appeal. He is president of the Chamber of Commerce and was recently offered the business support of the city for the office of mayor, but declined to run. He went back in the car to smoke. The three rear seats are for Negroes and have also been used by whites who smoke on the street cars. Mr. Gordon's action has very fortunately opened up the whole legal aspect of the separate seat law, inasmuch as if Mr. Gordon could not be required to move, then colored citizens might take a seat in the white section could not be required to change their seats. A Mixed School Victory Topeka, Kan.—The supreme court has decided that Wichita, by its board of education, in the absence of statutory authority, has no right to exclude a child because of its 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, to the Emerson school. In 1889 Wichita passed an ordinance providing separate schools for our children. The district court refused the mandamus action of Mrs. Rowles. She appealed to the supreme court, which has reversed the Sedgwick court ruling. Dunbar Monument Fund. Wilberforce, O., June 29, 1907. Editor *Gazette*—Dear Sir: Dr. Davis W. Clark, 222 W. 4th street, Cincinnati, is treasurer of the monument fund for marking the grave of the poet, Paul L. Dunbar, at Dayton. About $500 has been contributed, mostly by whites, but it is believed that our people desire to aid in this movement. All contributions are to be sent to Dr. Clark, on or about Emancipation day. Even penny contributions from school children will greatly help. Will you not aid in the work of honoring our dead poet? Very closely. VICHAS, YOUNG. Capt. U. S. Army. "Sounds" Like a Southern White Lie. London, England—The British admiralty and the war once have been drawn the color line against a youth born in London of a Negro father and English mother. On the death of his parents the Strand board of guardians took charge of the boy, who has now grown up and desires to serve his country, but the authorities refuse to permit him to enlist, in either navy or army. This banning of a British subject because of his color promises to lead to a lively discussion in parliament, where the matter shortly will be brought up. Some More "White Christianity." Hinton, Okla.—Whether or not the holy kiss as observed by a church congregation near Hinton shall be given by the white members to an Afro-American convert and applicant for membership threatens to split the church asunder. A majority of the members, not favoring the kissing rite in this instance, want the rules suspended, while the other faction maintains they cannot get to heaven and refuse to kiss the convert. The application was laid over until Sunday. Bradford. Pa.. Locals. Miss Edna Collins has gone to Canada to visit relatives...Mrs. Reed and children, of Mercer, have returned home.

Taft and the Black Cuban Secretary Taft wires a Cuban leader that Uncle Jim is desirous of having his troops evacuate the island and restore Cuba to a republican form of government directed by persons elected by a fair election. A fair election, from Mr. Taft's view point in the past, is an election from which the black voter of the island is forced at the point of bayonet to let severely alone. —Seattle (Wash.) Republican. Geo. Sutton, Jr., a candidate for the council in the Twelfth ward, is a young man and has the advantage from our viewpoint of being a member of the race. The same is practically true of J. Clarence Brown, our other candidate in the Twelfth ward. Now is the time for young Afro-American men in local politics, who wish a new deal and a square deal in republican politics, and want a chance to be heard. Get busy for Sutton and Brown. If you have a spark of loyal race manhood in your body. JUST BY THE WAY. News Items Boiled Down and Condensed.

When a member of the race living in the Twelfth ward refuses to support an Afro-American candidate for the council and yelps for a white man who has no claim whatever upon us but is indebted to us for past favors, what is the matter, or rather what is the "influence" being exerted upon the aforementioned "Afo?"

They adjourned to meet in Louisville in September. "Dude" St. James and Marle Klesh were married at the workhouse last week Wednesday, Justice of the Peace Parker officiating. The workhouse authorities made the bride a present of a parole as a wedding gift. The woman was arrested on the streets of the down-town section by the detectives several weeks ago. In court she was found guilty ofonneance on her promise to marry St. James.貌然ly. This promise was not kept and the girl was arrested again. She went to the workhouse and the marriage followed. Edna F. Davis, of Quebec street, entertained recently in honor of her cousin, Edna L. Davis, of Mansfield. The table was tastefully decorated and refreshments were served. Prizes were won by Cora Fields, Blanche Johnson and Marion Smith. Those present were Helen Brooks, Mabel Blue, Edna L. Davis, Genevieve Davis, Mabel Early, Isabella Embry, Cora Fields, Georgia Fields, Lena Glmere, Ada Gray, Ida Grant, Ruby Johnson, Blanche Johnson, Hazel Mountain, Sylvia Ravennia, Marion Smith, Clara Stewart and Bertha Sutton. Bishop Turner, of Atlanta, Ga., said in a July 4 address at Boston: "We cannot be less than 19,000,000 at the ratio of common increase. There are whole counties and congressional districts in my section of the country where no census enumerator thinks of going except to get the number of white people. Of all men in this house, of all men in Boston, I am the last one to be called upon to address a patriotic meeting. I cannot understand how that choir calls 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee,' as they have done. The country that burns and lynches and skins alive my people! May God take out my tongue if I ever sing a line of that anthem again." And now that the great Foraker, the modern day Charles Sumner, the first republican senator since reconstruction to publicly advise the colored voters to vote against any candidate, even though he be a republican candidate for the presidency, has unquestionably shown a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of a single soldier of the "Black Battalion" and has to the minds of the colored people and many of the white proven them guiltless of other participation in or knowledge of the participants in the shooting up of Brownsville in the bloody Riots of 1865, to remove ban and disgrace from colored soldiers who have risked their lives in a hundred battles for this, our country's safety and honor, soldiers akin to those two regiments of cavalry who saved the life of the president himself, that he might now be the nation's chief executive.—Editor Trotter, of the Boston Guardian, July 4. A warrant was issued last week for Patrolman Gus Fechner, of the Third preinct. He is accused of beating a woman of the race while arresting her, so that she had to appear in court with bandaged arms and head. Mrs. Sadie Merritt, 2535 Central Avenue S. E, says Fechner accused her of intoxication. She brought three witnesses before Police Prosecutor Levine last Saturday to prove she was not intoxicated. She also brought a physician's statement that the injuries she got were serious. Levine then issued the warrant. After investigating the story or seizing the annealing hearing Fechner he said he is telling the truth." Fechner was once before reprimanded in court for alleged cruelty in making an arrest. He has the reputation of being the strongest man upon the force. Mrs. Merritt is a young woman. Fechner arrested her last week Wednesday night. She told Judge Fiedler, Fechner knocked her down when she protested that she had not been drinking. She was brought to the police station that night and was locked up. The next day she was discharged by Judge Fiedler. It is high time our people were waking up. There is entirely too much of this sort of thing. THE GAZE11E, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1967.

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; take 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-stick bottle of Kink-ine, price 35 cents, one cake of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 6 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

J. M. Gil- mere, chairman; Hon, Harry C. Smith, Cleveland; Hon. ©. L. Max well, Xenia; Rev, E. L. Gilliam, Co- lumbus; Walter 8. Thomas, Colum- bus; Prof. W. P. Dabney, Cincinnati; Rev. W. 0.

White, Steubenville, Secretary of War Taft ald not eseape criticism and was re- ferred to as the:. tustrument-of the, president. “Foraker first, last and all tne time,” and déttance of the man with the big stick, was declared to be ‘Wie slogan of Afro-Americans, in the future, and the name of “Foraker” was determined upon as the pass- jword to any miceting of our citizens, The meeting was called to order at 10:30 a. m. by Dr. Wren. Rev. Dr. Talbort, of Wilierforce, wan named for chairman by the editor of The Ga- zette, and Dr. Wren and Mr. Poston were’ mado secretary and assistant respectively. While the committee on resolutions wete out, addresses were made by delegates and others present. Among, thls number were: Rev, C. 8, Williams, of Washington C. H.; Messrs, Riggs, Smith, Talbert, Attorney ‘N, B. Marshall, of Washing: ton, D. C,,'and Gilehrist Stewart, of New York City. When tho committee Yeturmed and reported the following 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 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. ates, deciding quostions, ete, and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submittetl to us, bat instead thereot we demand the full recognition in all the counctis of the party that our numbers and in- telilgence represent.

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!” SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY, Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suf. fered 10 Years—Completely ‘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.

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. SAVED FROM DREAD FATE. Kind Woman's Assistance Meant Much to This Tramp. 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 the whip of hunger to many things from which his very soul shrinks— 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: pelled to do something which I never 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.
