THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 1. Modes of the Moment SUMMER GOWNS Fashion in this year of grace demands that our hats and our hair shall seem on the closest terms of intimacy —I might, indeed, say of affection. The hat embraces the hair as though passionately attached to it, and the general effect is wonderfully attractive. While on the subject of millinery I must not neglect to speak of the new—and especially charming—idea of mixing white and black laces on hat crowns. At a recent musical reception I saw a beautiful woman wearing a Tuscan cloche which boasted a full crown of ivory point d'esprit inset with motifs of black Maltese lace. These motifs were circular and of extremely delicate design, and the lace crown was mounted on silver tulle. On the left side of the hat there were several branches of vivid scarlet japonica. But now that summer is coming to its full splendor we are giving the large cloche hat a well-deserved rest and are turning our appreciative attention to the close-fitting mushroom. It is, in fact, distinctly an "open-air hat," and it looks best when very simply trimmed with immense choux of Pompadour ribbons at either side, or with quillings which completely hide the crown. It is my impression that the time has come to call "halt" in the affairs of file laces! I do not, for the moment, deny the effectiveness of these laces, but it seems carrying the matter too far to make nine out of every ten women look as though they had taken down the best curtains from their windows and draped them round their graceful selves! Of course, "Fashion" must always be omnipotent, but even Fashion cannot blind our eyes to the fact that file lace is really suitable as a trimming for curtains and afternoon tea cloth, and for that purpose only. Nowadays we introduce it on our summer frocks, and undoubtedly it is effective, but we can easily have too much of it, and that is why I suggest that "halt" should be called, otherwise we shall have an epidemic to file lace at the plages in close connection with white linen and embroidered muslin. It is a thousand pities that it should be so difficult to accept a new mode in moderation. Everything novel and original is run to death, and this seems inevitable. A most effective costume of the very latest boasts a skirt cut on the cross made of buff and white stripes, a little coat of buff colored cloth displaying facings of white cloth bound with black silk piped with cherry color and white. In front of this from neck to bust appears a double-filled lawn shirt; that double-filled lawn shirt, realize, is immensely popular, so popular, indeed, that you may buy the double frill "all alone by itself" and attach it to any old shirt, when you may confidently rely upon its passing muster as new. The frills are usually made of white lawn, hemstitched; others, too, there are of spotted batiste, and others again of striped muslin. Which reminds me that amongst the The tattler—Mis-inform.

Laughs Down Roosevelt's Playing at Politics by 'Sugaring Up' Voters Masterly Defense of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments that Illumine the So-Called Race Plobem. Bellefontaine, O.—In his address at the Chautauqua Assembly here last Saturday afternoon, Senator Foraker referred to a recent speech by Senator Tillman, and dwell upon it at length. After saying, in relation to the Hepburn railroad rate law: "If there is a single shipper anywhere who has been benefitted by it, I have not heard of him," he continued: "Senator Elkins, Senator Clapp and I prepared the Elkins law, and after two years of its operation, I now say it is worth all of the others." Speaking of Secretary Taft, ex-Gov. Herrick and Congressman Burton's desire for revision of the tariff, he called upon them to declare themselves more specifically, and added that he had heard it rumored that Burton wanted to succeed him, the same concluding with this statement: "I am not going to let him have the place if I can help it." Another significant sentence of his address was: "Andrew Johnson was one of those presidents who had policies, believed the executive power everything, and managed to displease almost everybody." This was thought to be a rap by innuendo at President Roosevelt. Senator Foraker said: "I am not now a candidate for any office, but if I ever am I will not get the lockjaw. I think every representative of the people should be able to answer the questions of his constituents, and if he is not able to do so satisfactorily, let him be recalled. But don't draw any big stick on aim, for that won't work on the free American to-day. Sugar in the way of postoffice appointments don't help it any either. When I can't walk around the office, I entertain I will eliminate myself." In talking about the Brownville fair and defending his position the senator said: "If there is anybody in Bellefontaine who does not feel fond of me on that account let me tell him the feeling is reciprocated. I had no personal interest in this matter and was not looking for votes. I can get along without office and would be a lot better off at home, anyhow, and I don't want any job unless it comes with the hearty accord of the people. If you want somebody to go and take orders don't send me, for I am so constituted that I have opinions and convictions and I don't want to disappoint myself." Before taking up anything else I want to speak briefly in answer to some encounters of Senator Tillman. He has been making a speech in Ohio. It was on the race problem. This is his favorite topic. He is his best when he talks on that subject, but his best is always his worst. "In this last speech he is quoted as saying: "If after the war the north had not in its passion and sectional hatred gone far beyond the bounds of reason, decency and righteousness there would to-day be no race problem. We resent and resist the doctrine of equality under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. You have done wrong. The North has done wrong. I can be done by repealing the Fifteenth Amendment and letting the states control the franchise." "All the way through his discussion is in the nature of a protest against social equality. His whole argument proceeds upon the idea that the purpose of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution was to force social equality upon the white people of the south with their Negro neighbors. North Hug could be more wide of the mark, and had more purpose. Everybody understood that social equality cannot be forced anywhere. There is no social equality among white people, except as they may choose. It is the same with black people. Even more true it is as between black and white people. The purpose of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments was to provide political equality, to put all citizens of the United States, whether white or black, rich or poor, upon the same plane so far as the political rights of citizenship were concerned. What I want to answer is his charge that hatred and passion the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution were upon south and that in this way the needlessly precipitated upon the south the evils they suffered during the reconstruction period.

Chicago, Ill.—"Mushmouth" Johnson does not live at 5830 Wabash avenue, this city, the residence of Miss Cecelia "Johnson" and his mother. Thus is one after another of the most hurtful newspaper tales about the young lady exploded. It transpires that a southerner, a social news gatherer and "space" writer, has lived most outrageously about Miss Cecelia "Johnson," the University of Chicago student. She is a daughter of "Mushmouth" Johnson's aunt, the wife of his mother's brother. Cecelia's mother and two brothers (Morrison) still live in St. Louis, where they are highly respected. Miss "Johnson," who is being educated by "Mushmouth," never passed for white nor tried to do so. She has always mingled with the best of our people here. In and out of university circles she was known to be an Afro-American. Indeed, anyone can see this fact at a glance. In 1906 she received the bachelor's degree and is now working for the degree of master, something few girls have the pluck to try for. Her superiority as a student won all the honors by several of its best societies and clubs, and also socially among both classes and races. Overweening and morbid desire of a prisoner southerner and local daily newspapers, a sensation was caused the initial publication of last week Monday referred to. Last week Wednesday the Chicago Tribune voluntarily published an apology for its part in the matter, in which it said that on investigation it had found that most of the statements in the original publications of alleged facts concerning Miss "Johnson" were untrue and every inference from those statements misleading and grossly unjust. Continuing, it says: "There is not the slightest mystery about Miss Johnson." Her life has been an open book. She has won distinction at high school and university, and her career appears to have been free from any blemish that should lessen the love of her intimate friends or the respect in which she is held by her acquaintances."

He gave good reasons why he took up the Brownville affair in his speech, and he said: "If the white soldier needed protection in Athens when they shot protection in town, how much more would a colored soldier need protection in the state of Texas." A copy of the resolutions were given to him from the Helping Hand society, sent by Robert Goens and Fred Archer, showing him that he has the co-operation of our people of this town. Many words of praise were spoken in his behalf, and we believe that he is the best friend our people have in public life to day, and we hope to see him returned to the United States senate and elected President in 1908. Will Not Support Roosevelt! The Afro-American, Council met in Baltimore last week, severely arraigned President Roosevelt and lauded Senator Foraker. The Negroes have never forgiven the strenuous president for his drastic order in dismissing the Negro soldiers without trial. President Roosevelt is erratic, impulsive and would never make a safe judge; because he is more largely governed by his feelings than he is by evidence. If he were to run again for president he would be opposed by a solid Negro vote. There are times when a depressed race must strike in self-defense for self-preservation. The Negro is not a slave to the republican party. He can no longer be lead about by political ple. -Jacksona (Tgnn.)

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio MAGISTRY TRADE COUNCIL FLORIDA 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. For President Senator J.B. Foraker Senator Foraker's Bellefontaine address of last Saturday deserves to rank with his magnificent effort at Wilberforce in June. As will be seen by reference to that part of it given in The Gazette to-day, it contains a "masterly defense of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments" to the United States constitution. Editor D. R. Wilkins' sad plight has called forth much very kind comment and possibly it is right that such is the case. However, a little of it while he was in full possession of his mental faculties and doing splendid work for the race in his paper, the Chicago Conservator, might have been the means of helping to ward off his preset unfortunate condition. The Gazette has the satisfaction of feeling that it did its duty in this respect. We know there are others, but not many. Said the state central committee at Columbus on Tuesday: "And be it further resolved, that we emphatically declare that the republicans of Ohio are opposed to the elimination from public life of Senators J. B. Foraker and Chas. Dick, whose services to the party and state have been distinguished by ability, wisdom and patriotism." Why, of course! No one but democrats and fool, loud-mouthed Taft shouters ever seriously considered for a single moment their "elimination" talk. Next year the republicans of Ohio in convention assembled will eliminate what remains of the Taft boomerang, if there be any left at that time. OUR TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. The Gazette is 25 years old to-day. During all the past, it has appeared regularly every week and on time! How is that for a record? What it has accomplished for the race, its unwerving loyalty, aggressiveness and honesty are an open book of so many years' standing that it is not necessary at this time to say more of them and the very many great sacrifices we have made for The Gazette during all those years to accomplish what we have and attain the very creditable standing with our thousands of readers and people of the entire country. Nor is it necessary for the same reason to make promises for the future. There is, however, one thing we would speak of, and that in brief is the failure thus far of our people to give the patronage necessary to enable us to double or even increase the size of The Gazette, which every week brings to its large constituency from five to ten times as much race news as any other for publication in this section of the country. We are and have been for years doing more than our part in this matter. Now won't The Gazette's many readers, representatives and friends make a special effort to so increase its patronage before January 1, 1908, as to permit the improvement referred to even before the time limit set? We hope so. Remember we have been, are doing and will continue to do our part. Will you help? What is needed is steady, constant and never tiring effort, and not the spasmodic kind. Let us work together for the success desired. Meantime anyone who feels to do so, need have no hesitancy in remembering The Gazette's silver anniversary in such manner as they may see fit. We are sorry it is not our silver wedding anniversary, because many more might understand what is meant. THAT TAFT ENDORSEMENT. After months of effort on the part of the Roosevelt administration and Ohio friends of Secretary Taft, backed by the influence of federal jobs and the Taft subsidy, fifteen of the twenty-one members of the state republican central committee voted to endorse the alleged Taft candidacy for the republican nomination for the presidency. Nearly half as many votes as he secured, refused to vote to endorse, in spite of the strong influence referred to, and which has been bearing heavily upon the members of the committee for a long time. --- --- As Senator Foraker has well said, the action of the fifteen members of the committee does not bind anyone to the alleged Taft candidacy; furthermore, they have no more right to speak on that subject for the republicans of Ohio than any other fifteen republicans of the state, because they were not elected or authorized to do so by any higher body of the state republican organization or republicans of their various congress districts. When the Dayton republican state convention of last year, attended by eight or nine hundred delegates, wanted to endorse Senator Foraker as the Ohio candidate for the republican nomination for the presidency, he refused to permit such action on the ground that it was not only premature, but also because the delegates to that convention had not been chosen with reference to that question, and that it would be an assumption of jurisdiction and authority that did not properly belong to them. Also that their action could not be binding upon the next state convention which was to meet before the national convention of 1908, and that no action should be taken by that convention or anybody else that would forestall the people or deny them the right to be heard on that all important question. The members of the state central committee were certainly not selected with reference to the presidential nomination preferences any more than were the 900 delegates to last year's Dayton convention. The former were chosen to be simply party machinery representing the organization and empowered to call the next state convention and to transact such duties as the last convention and the statutes of the state imposed upon them. The selection of a candidate for the republican nomination for the presidency next year was certainly not one of those duties. All this is clear. There is much less excuse for the fifteen state central committeemen to take the action of Tuesday than there would have been for a convention composed of 900 representative republicans such as were the delegates to the Dayton convention of last year. The authority to speak rests with the state convention to be held next year, which can be depended upon for the action that Senator Foraker refused to permit the Dayton convention of last year to take. Those fifteen members of the committee in their eagerness to bow to the Roosevelt administration and other Taft influence have blundered and the benefit effects of their action will be seen in the state municipal elections this fall. All the endorsements "this side of Jordan" will neither secure the present favor of the great mass of republicans of Ohio, nor the votes of the 40,000 Afro-Americans in this state in event of Taft's nomination next year—something no one familiar with national politics who is not a blind follower of the secretary of war looks forward to. This latest effort to revive the fast dying Taft boomerang will avail nothing except to show the republicans of the country what we have all along contended, and that is the fact that Ohio republicans are not and will never unite upon the alleged Taft candidacy. He has harmed them far too much to ever permit any such favorable condition to arise. Then, too, he is not only dangerous to the country's prosperity in maintaining a position favorable to tariff revision, but equally dangerous to the country itself, because of his practical endorsement of disfranchisement which abrogates a section of the fundamental law of the land Booker's Schemes Are Shown Up. Booker's Schemes Are Shown Up. Washington, D. C.—It has reached the ear of the Negro race that, more than any one man, Booker T. Washington is responsible for the stubborn attitude of the president in the affair of the dismissal in disgrace of the Negro segment of Booker's teachings, repressed it to the president that there was no protest against this course except from a few cheap Negro politicians and is said to have told the president that it would soon blow over. No doubt Booker advised the president that he (Booker) could handle the Negro situation in his own "foxy" way. Booker Washington is said to have also impressed the president with his ability to manipulate the republican situation in Alabama, through his representative, J. O. Thompson, for Taft. It is dawning upon the administration, however, that Booker has fallen down in this as badly as he did in the Brownsville case. Facts are that the Negro race south and north, has come to learn Booker and are getting on with his methods. Moses, by Negroes from one and the country to the other. He is not only being repudiated, but he is being denounced. Negro church conferences, social, political and other bodies, have arraigned him in severe language.—Alexander City (Ala.)

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 graff, 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 Brownville Texas Roosevelt and Secretary Disfranchise Brownville Taft, as well as Mr. Cox, might 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 fire-brand prejudice play, was scheduled to appear at the Grand Opera House, Cincinnati. Charles P. Taft, Secretary Taft's brother, editor and publisher of the Cincinnati Times-Star, and manager of his brother's alleged candidacy for the republican nomination for the presidency, owes much of his success to Afro-Americans of that city called 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. But Brother Charles wore a suit and a dirty wore against the race with his intimal play, "The Clansman," and Secretary Taft out-Rooveeling Roosevelt in his effort to fasten the alleged Brownville, 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. notify us at once if your Gazette falls to arrive as regularly and satisfactorily as it should.

CHALLENGE (Continued from First Page.) Amendment. They accentuated all this by their treatment of the freedmen. It would be difficult to exaggerate the unfriendly character of the legislation affecting them that was enacted immediately after the war in most of the preceding states. Littering statutes were withholding videoded heavy fines of $500 to $100 to be imposed upon any one who was found loitering without work. The freedman, who had just been emancipated, had neither work nor money. No matter how zealously he might seek employment, he was helpless if employment should be refused him. Under these statutes, if found idle he was a loiterer, and if he had no money, as he did not have, with which to pay his fines, he was hired to the highest bidder, thus becoming bound to labor for those who had no interest whatever in either his health or his life beyond the term for which he was hired. This brought about a condition of things worse than any other. By another bill it was provided that the freedman should provide himself with comfortable home and visible means of support within 20 days after the passage of the act, and failing to do so the highest bidder for the term of one year. By another law it was provided that all agricultural laborers should be compelled to make contracts for laboring for the first ten days of January for the entire year. All failing to do so were liable to heavy fines of statutes, some of them worse even than these, were enacted. It no exaggeration to say that the spirit of this legislation was not justice but injustice, and that of the multinational and revengeful character. This kind of legislation, coupled with refusal to accept what were thought to the generous terms of the Fourteenth Amendment, did a public sentiment in the north that secured the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment and led to the Fifteenth Amendment, by which it was provided that no state should have the right to deny or abridge the right to vote on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. But it was not passion, neither was it hatred, that brought about these results, but only a solemn sense of duty. There was never a time, except only the Fifteenth Amendment was adopted, that it could have been adopted, and there never has been a time since it was adopted when it could have been repealed, simply because it was right then and is right now. It was a great forward step in the recognition by government the right of citizens governed to harbor their government and to have equal protection in all places it has failed to bring good results, that fact is due more to the bad faith that has been practiced to defeat its purpose than to any inherent trouble." In concluding his address the senator said the people need not worry about men like Tillman and Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi, for they do not represent the sentiment of the south in their radical utterances. During his visit Senator Foraker called on Judge W. H. West, the blind man eloquent, now confined to his home, and in his address he referred to him as follows: "Of all the great men I have ever known there is none greater than he, not because of what he is now doing, but for his intellectual endowment and the example he has set."

I thank you very much for the admirable and flattering notice which you have given me in this week's issue. Especially do I appreciate it from The Gazette, because of the influence of this paper and its able editor both in Ohio and throughout the country, and for the reason that it is edited in the home of my mother and grandmother; and I oftimes feel half an Ohioan. The stand which The Gazette is taking now and has taken for years in behalf of the manhood rights of the race has won it supporters and friends wherever hearts beat with patriotic love of race and best interests of country. I hope things will progress in Ohio for honor and that you, with all of Senator Foley's efforts to achieve the goal desired, with best wishes, I remain, yours truly. GILCHRINT STEWART.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

For further information We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours With TRADE MARK (Registered) KINK·INE Great Hair Straightener and Grower Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out: takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." SPECIAL OFFER—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full-size bottle of Kink-ine, 35 cents, one cake of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 2 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

Should a list of the ingredients of Peruna be submitted to any medical expert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them was of undoubted value in chronic catarrhal diseases, and had stood the test of many years' experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHATEVER. Peruna is composed of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh. Peruna brings to the home the COMBINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treatment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowledge of the modern pharmacist; and last but not least, brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, in the use of catarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrh diseases. The fact is chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to a re them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF. Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied directly to the people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it. No other household remedy so universally advertised carrice upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics. Poor Paint is Expensive If one is rich enough to repaint his buildings every year for the pleasure of having a change of color scheme, the quality of the paint used may cut little figure. But if it is desirable to cut the painting bills down to the least amount possible, it is of the utmost importance that the paint be made of Pure White Lead and the best of Linseed Oil.

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 emoument. "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 party, we have made it possible for victory 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 hait. "The presidential embolgi in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions aligning our forces for a triumphant reunion 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 in the war, he would have borne and shoot to death the glorious emblem of our country, the stars and stripes, he is not in a position to recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Smith, 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 or election to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But whatever personal ambition you 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. 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 his defeat if nominated. We have reached that point where we would prefer to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party.

Awful bearing down pains, backaches and headaches tormented me, there were spells of dizziness and fainness, the kidney secretions were like blood and passed with intense pain. I had "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 star chamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent.

Harper, Dayton, Chesley, little Lake, Cleveland, J. M. Glmire, 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 Greenboro, N. C., and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1966, 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 Brownville not publicly branded them as columbians, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military machinery of the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore 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 1804, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the diemissal without trial of 167 brave and meritorious soldiers, many of them grown gray in the service of their country in war, wars and Shield War, have 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 brewers 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.

The bracelet seems to be composed of a wreath of flowers, under which is an elastic band. Between the band and the wreath is hidden a tiny sachet bag. Milady nowadays carries upon her wrist a little bag composed of overlapping iridescent scales by means of a ribbon which exactly matches the shade of the bag. The bag is lined with chamois skin containing several little pockets. She has also discovered a new salad fork that has one of the prongs sharpened like a knife. This little concept does away with the embarrassment naturally attendant upon attempting to cut salad leaves with a dull fork, as etiquette has hitherto demanded. Weighted Curtains "If you want to keep your little half curtains down," said the bachelor girl, "put shot in them.

In a little village on the Hungarian frontier, not far from Presburg, a peasant woman recently received 400 kronen ($85) from her husband in America. She promptly deposited it in the local branch of the postoffice savings bank, and then the next day went to withdraw the whole amount. The bank official was somewhat surprised, and asked for an explanation, when she said that Death had appeared to her during the night and threatened to take her away with him unless she had the 400 crowns ready for him the next night. The gendarmes were communicated with, and when "Death" made his promised appearance he was found to be very much alive, in the person of the local judge. The woman's money is still in the bank, and the judge is in jail.—Pall Mall Gazette. A Prophecy as to Wheat. Unquestionably those now living may see the time when in some years the United States will import wheat if a surplus can be found anywhere. As a rule, however, we may expect to continue to export grain forever. The oldest and most densely populated countries of the world continue to export grain, and while the world endures there will always be exchanges of surpluses. As to our production we are probably nearing our maximum under present methods of cultivation. It is, however, easily possible to double our output by better methods of agriculture which we shall gradually adopt as increasing prices caused by the pressure of population warrant the increased outlay in production. Blackest of All. The millionaire from Pittsburg was observed to be loitering outside of the pearly gates. "Why don't you hurry up and knock?" queried a shade. "I'm waiting for that other chap to get ahead of me," whispered the Pittsburg millionaire. "And who is he.?" "Why, a grafter from San Francisco. By the side of him I will seem as innocent as a lamb."

C. as a reminder of "his ingratitude and insolence." with Your Food? Try Grape-Nuts Delicious and Healthful "The ordinary breakfast cereal cooked a few minutes in a half-hearted way will in time weaken the stomach of anything short of an ox. "Any preparation of wheat or oats put into water that is below the boiling point and cooked as mush is usually mass, remains a pasty, indigestible mass. The cells are tough and unopened. In addition, the stomach of a person sensitively constituted refuses to do anything with the pasty mass. It is sent into the second stomach, the Duodenum, where in consequence of the long time of the first process of digestion, is fermented and soured. As an eminent medical man pertinently states, the stomachs of half the people go about the streets are about in the condition of an old vinegar barrel. "Intestinal dyspepsia is the direct consequence of such feeding." Knowledge of these facts and a wide experience in the preparation and use of cereals brought out the product known as Grape-Nuts, manufactured with special reference to having the nitrogenous and starchy parts of the grains, of which the food is composed, perfectly and scientifically cooked at the factory, ready for immediate use and therefore not subject to the manipulations of any cook, good or bad. The starch of the grains, changed to grape-sugar, can be seen glistening on the little granules, and gives forth a delicate sweetish taste, very palatable. Children and adults obtain fine results from the use of Grape-Nuts food. It is so perfectly adapted to the wants of the human body and so easily digested that many cases are on record of nursing babies being fed very successfully on it. "There's a Reason."

An old gentleman, rather portly and chid in a somewhat youthful suit of light gray flannel, sat on a bench in the park enjoying the day, relates the Woman's Home Companion. "What's the matter, sonny?" he asked a small urchin who lay on the grass just across the walk and stared intently. "Why don't you go and play?" "Don't wanter," the boy replied. "But it is not natural," the old gentleman insisted, "for a boy to be so quiet. Why don't you run about?" "Oh, I'm just waitin'," the little follow answered. "I'm just awaitin' till you get up. A man painted that bench about fifteen months ago." TWO SISTERS HAD ECZEMA. Cuticura Cured Scalp Troubles of Two Illinois Girls—Another Sister Took Cuticura Pills. "I must give much praise to all the Cuticura Remedies. I used but one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, as that was all that was required to cure my disease. I was very much troubled with eczema of the head, and a friend of mine told me to use the Cuticura Remedies, which I did, and am glad to say that they cured my eczema entirely. My sister was also cured of eczema of the head by using the Cuticura Remedies. Another sister has used Cuticura Resolvent and Pills and thinks they are a splendid tonic. Miss Edith Hammer, R. F. D.
