THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 4. NEW THINGS IN NEW ROUND VEIL DRESS DEMI-TOILETTE WITH KIMOMO SLEEEVES NEW HAT WITH HIGH CROWN OF FLOWERS The demi-tollette for evening wear is of the first importance at this time. The French demi-tollette resembles a tea gown only in so much that it is picturesque and old-world. It is not in the very least untidy or floppy, and even an expert in such matters would find it difficult to clearly define the difference between it and a dinner gown suitable for ceremonious occasions. The difference is very subtle and yet—ever present! Possibly it is a distinction which owes much to the arrangement of the hair and to the ornaments worn. Some wonderfully lovely gowns of this order have been made this season of fine silk gauze enriched with ribbon embroideries, or with borderie Anglaise carried out in delicate pastel tints. The latter is a distinct novelty and entirely satisfactory when designed and executed by a master hand. For example, take a flowing skirt of creamy gauze, lavishly decorated in panels with broderie Anglaise worked in fine silver threads. On either side of these panels there were shaped insertions of Maltese lace—of exactly the same tint as the muslin—and at the extreme hem of the skirt five floues of Valenciennes; while the bodice was arranged in picture fashion, having a large fischu of Valenciennes, which crossed in front and tucked away in the folded waistband of palest liberty satin. The wide Japanese sleeves were made of the Maltese lace, and underneath there were the daintiest little puffings and frills of Valenciennes. The peach-colored waistband boasted two very long ends at the left side, and these ends were drawn through a handsome buckle of gun metal set with small diamonds. It would be impossible to describe the poetic charm of this gown, and the dark buckle, with its brilliant frame, supplied just the right note. The sleeveless coat of taffetas is entering a successful reign. This picturesque garment is almost always worn with muslin or lace gowns, and nine times out of ten the silk is of a dark and rather somber color. These silk coats are a short three-quarter length and semi-sack, back and front, and they are rarely closed in front, but are confined by chenille or silk ornaments, or, in some cases, they are lightly laced from throat to breast. The most conspicuous of Fashion's new edibles will be the long coat, longer than they have been. These coats look equally well in both cloth and linen, and have charm when supplied with the square sleeve, the elbow sleeve, or the ordinary coat sleeve. It is, indeed, a highly adaptable garment, upon which we propose to bestow our very best attentions from now until October at least, and this I prophesy 'as other wise people would have prophesied, because I know. But I am forgetting the novelty of the hour, and the like, being rare, should be treated with greater respect. White flowers allied to white leaves, and looking for all the world like the conventional decoration of the conventional wedding-cake, are upon the hats which express the last word of Fashion. White lilies of the valley allied to white rose-leaves I have met forming a thick wreath round a bell-shaped hat of brown straw lined with white chip; large white garden lilies with white leaves upstand in bold relief from a shape of purple straw, and white roses and white leaves encircle the broad brim of a hat of dull green lined with black glaze. Here is novelty indeed—and for so much, and no more, I commend it. Apropos summer hats—very high Author of "Holy Roman Empire." About 40 years ago the adjudicators of the Arnold historical essay prize at Oxford university where wearily plowing through the usual lot of commonplace compositions, when they suddenly lighted on one which was not commonplace. The subject was "The Holy Roman Empire," and it is not too much to say that these cynical dons were electrified to enthusiasm. Hastily awarding it the prize they opened the scaled envelope and found that it was the work of one In Union There is Strength. crowns are slowly but surely creeping toward us. Just at present these high crowns are chiefly arranged in flowers, but a little later we shall see a revival of the high "flower-pot" crown which used to be fashionable when the "Greecian bend" afforded fruitful topics for music-hall singers! It seems a thousand pities that we should think of adopting such a fashion as this, the hat crowns of this year are so ideal and so infinitely becoming, and the "flower-pot" crown is so peculiarly inartistic. Unhappily it is no use to protest against Fashion's dictates, but let us hope that this revival, when it comes, will be short lived, and that there will be found leaders of Society with sufficient taste and courage to protest against an ugly mode just as they protested against the meaningless short waist which is already dying the death. It is quite certain that nine women out of ten look best when something rich and dark is placed near the face, not an entire black, or dark, hat necessarily, but one with a lining of full tone and in a becoming tint. The very newest and most popular idea with regard to cloche hats is the flat lining of black, or dark hued, satin. As a rule, this lining does not reach quite to the edge of the hat, an inch of light straw being left plain. Black satin or taffetas is wonderfully effec A Novel Serge Costume. tive in an ivory straw cloche or one of Tuscan; rich bottle-green satin is used in the same way, and also dark Lancet blue, nut-brown and dark violet, the latter color being quite a rage of the moment. For example, take an ivory straw cloche which boasts a wide, wide, high, crown, and a large drooping brim, the front of the latter being shorter than the back. And now just another word about the new circular veils of which we spoke in a former letter. The new blue spotted net—the blue which is exactly like cornflower-blue dusted over with ivory powder—is delightfully flattering to a clear complexion, when the veil is edged all round with an inch-wide band of ribbon velvet. These veils ought to be quite long—at least three yards—and of the finest and lightest net. They are pinned round the cloche hat and thrown back from the face, making the most perfect frame it is possible to imagine James Bryce, aged 25, who is now British minister to the United States. His essay has been reproduced in several languages and to this day is a standard on the subject. Right Course in Life. Our friends are not all we would have them, that is true. Neither are we all they would have us; but taking each other as we are, and making the best of each other, we can fill our world with kindness, comfort and sunshine.-Smiles. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1907. "ALABAMA PLAN" Advocated by Hoke Smith Has Put Both White and Black in Slavery Under a Bourbon Oligarchy. The feature of the Atlanta inaugural of Hoke Smith as governor of Georgia was the parade of troops and citizens, escorting the governor-elect from his home to the capitol. The Fifth Georgia regiment and two troops of the First cavalry, beside numerous "Hoke Smith clubs" from all parts of the state and hundreds of citizens joined the parade under Gen. Clement E. Evans, marshal of the day. Gen. Evans wore his uniform as brigadier general of the Confederate service which he wore at the final surrender at the close of the civil war.—From press report. It was entirely appropriate that a Confederate general, in full uniform, should have ushered in the Hoke Smith administration in Georgia. If the declaration of Gov. Smith in behalf of the Alabama disfranchisement plan means its going into effect in that state, then it was most befitting the occasion that a former leader of the cause of slavery prior to the war should have been marshal of the Hoke Smith hosts, for Hoke Smith democracy will mean a slavery, perhaps, in Georgia, as obtains in Alabama, that is just as galling as was the chattel slavery of the democracy of Jefferson Davis. Hoke Smith is for the Alabama plan. What has the Alabama plan wrought in Alabama? Of the 235,000 whites of voting age, there are not 100,000 capable white voters. Of the 181,000 blacks of voting age, there are not 2,000 capable voters. It is the right to vote that really distinguishes the free man from the subject or slave. The Hoke Smith democracy of Georgia is, then, even more galling as a party advocate of slavery than was the Jefferson Davis democracy, for the Hoke Smith democracy would disfranchise and make subjects of white men as well as black men; leaving these men without a voice in their government and without any master to protect them, which even the chattel slave had under the former slave party of Jefferson Davis. And Georgia is to have the Alabama plan. The Alabama plan permits 65,000 voters to dominate 222,000 whites of voting age. The Alabama plan not only cuts out 132,000 whites from the voting, but 179,000 blacks. The Alabama plan stripped the United States citizen in Alabama of his right of American sovereignty and degraded him to a condition of that of a subject to the Burke纵裂性, is the actual result of the disfranchisement law applied in Alabama. To the devil with its phraseology, for it is the result that has come from its application that the country has a right to know and only from the result can the real motive of the law be fully understood. Just why Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi, should say that he would prefer to live under the stars and bars under Jefferson Davis than the stars and stripes under Theodore Roosevelt can scarcely be fathomed. Good God, the Jefferson Davis government only enslaved colored people. Under this federal administration we are now living under the United States administration with Roosevelt at the helm, the present southern democracy is marching right ahead making subjects of United citizens and disfranchising and enslaving the stars and stripes. The Smithville War of Varying the sweep of the Alabama plan is certain far beyond anything that any political autocrat could have dreamed of in the days of the political aristocracy of chattel slavery. Yet, Roosevelt gets his advice and his information as to a republican party matters in the south from the very element that turns out in full Jefferson Davis Confederacy uniform as the governor of a state of the United States is being inducted into office with the declaration on his lips in behalf of the Alabama plan! Is it come to this that United States citizenship and the sovereignty of the federal citizen is only a mockery and a political football? Is it come to this that the Bourbon obliquity may make subjects of three-fourths of the United States citizenship in the states of the south? The spirit of a Patrick Hare is the need of the hour. The personal and administrative Lincoln republican is the need at the White House. Neither a Lincoln, Grant, nor a Harrison, would get their southern republican policy from a Bourbon wind-jammer like John Temple Graves—in a time like this! There is but one way to put the republican party back to the constitution and that is for those north who believe in the constitution to refuse to vote for any man for any office who will not stand for the enforcement of the constitution.

JOSEPH C. MANNING. WALKER TO BE PITIED! Editor of Ohio's Leading Colored Journal Flays Colored Man for Recent Utterances—Pulling Down the Race. (From Steubenville (O.) Daily Gazette, Aug 12, 1907.) Editor Gazette: Dear Sir: Nearly all people in this country have knowledge of the terrific barrier of discrimination which oppresses the colored people, but no white man can fully appreciate it until like "Doctor Huguet," the principal character of Ignatius Donnelly's thrillingly interesting book by that name, he blackens his face and hands and for a month or more experiences the insults, the denials in public places and the rebuffs he will meet with on almost all occasions when he applies for employment, etc., regardless of exceptional ability, good character, appearance, honesty and all that goes to make a desirable citizen in any part of any white race save any part. How even race which is also in a degree that is described at home as well as abroad, Think of the condition, both hapless and hopeless, such terrible mistreat, ment begets in a member of any race more or less easily discouraged when it is remembered that the Negro in this country only suffers from this awful discrimination barrier every hour when abroad, both day and night, from birth until death, and you can get some slight understanding of the condition that in sheer desperation drives a man to give public utterance to such hurtful and indiscreet and incorrect statements in the main, contained in your recent published interview with a local resident of color. The man is to be pitied, and the American rendition that begets the most unfortunate condition referred to and is exemplified in his heartrending case, as only to be blamed. I contend to some surprise, after over a quarter of a century's experience in the newspaper business as an editor and publisher, that your excellent paper so erased as to permit the publication of such an interview, because it can do no good, and can only harm the colored people of this community, if not, indeed, others out of it, because of the wide circulation of The Gazette. I trust it will not be repeated, you can have only a desire to help an unfortunate and that is so fortunately striving and successfully, too, in spite of all barriers, to improve and progress so as to raise itself in the estimation of all good people to whom we look for that encouragement and help, right-living and proper ambition entities to. The Negro's loyalty to the country and best people and interests in every community, is never questioned, and is entitled to this consideration at least, and I feel sure you, too, agree to this. Therefore, help my people here and generally, all you can as long as they are deserving, and we will continue to rise, remain loyal and become more valuable as a portion of the population of the greatest country on the face of the globe. Thanking you for this hearing in the columns of your excellent paper, I am. Fraternity yours. HARRY C. SMITH. Editor of the Cleveland Gazette and thrice member of the Ohio legislature.

His commanding ability secured him this signal honor. 'THE BLACK BATTALION' A Large Audience Electrified and Thoroughly Interested—Church and Personal Notes. Washington C. H. O.—The A. M.

For President Senator J.B. Foraker ROOSEVELT AND TILLMAN! The editor of the Steubenville Herald-Star still effects to feel highly indignant as a result of our comparison of President Roosevelt's attitude toward the race and Ben Tillman's. We said Tillman's contemptible attack upon the women of our race and Roosevelt's attack upon the entire race through the Brownsville matter and his resultant charge that it is a criminal race are so nearly one and the same that they are so regarded generally, and we see no reason to change this estimate, even though our esteemed confreer persists in differing. We are free to admit that an attack upon the virtue of women of any class or race of people is a terrible thing. But an effort of a president of a country, whether intentional or otherwise, to brand a class of its citizens numbering nearly 10,000,000 as a race of criminals, after the fashion President Roosevelt pursued in the Brownsville matter and subsequent messages to the congress, is infinitely worse, and we feel that all unbiased intelligent people will heartily agree with us in this conclusion. That Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard university, does, and thoroughly too, we quote the following paragraph from his article published in The Gazette last week. It seems to be overlooked by our esteemed confreer of the Herald-Star when selecting the excerpts for publication in his editorial rejoinder: "There has recently appeared a cartoon by a clever Negro artist representing the 'Black Man's Burden.' It is in the form of a cross; not a crown of thorns, but a cross of skulls. At the top of the vertical upright is the head of Roosevelt; Hoke Smith and Tom Watson are arranged underneath; on the left of the crosspiece are Tom Dixon and John Temple Graves; on the right Tillman and Vardaman. An athletic Negro with broken body is bowed beneath this awful load." Speaking of "The courage and intrepidity of the Negro troops that saved Col. Roosevelt and his Rough Riders from utter destruction in that famous charge up San Juan Hill." Prof. Miller says: "In a notable magazine article, where our present day warriors are wont to fight their battles with an ingenuity and courage rarely equaled on the tented field, Col. Roosevelt either discredited their valor or damned them with such faint praise as to dim the luster of their fame." Again speaking of President Roosevelt and the Brownville matter, Prof. Miller says: "The man who spoke disparagingly of the troops who saved his life on the battle field, who unceremoniously reprimanded Gen. Miles, the gallant head of the army and hero of many battles, who imputed cowardice to Admiral Schley, our only naval hero who has triumphed with modern guns over modern arms, might naturally be supposed to act vigorously in a case of reported wrong-doers at Brownville." Again: "The president became incensed at the persistent attitude (in the Brownsville matter) of the colored race, and in several special messages reiterated his innuendoes with redoubled vim and emphasis." TAFT TRIFLING! Quotified Secretary Taft in his much advertised, long-talked and greatly disappointing (to his friends) speech at Columbus on Monday evening: "The attitude of the president and the war department and the reasons for the action taken in respect to the Twenty-fifth infantry were sufficiently set forth in the communications by the president and made to congress with the evidence then taken. Since that time, the senate committee on military affairs has taken 3,200 printed pages of evidence in the same matter, and the hearing is not concluded. Until the hearing is closed and the committee makes its report, it would be premature for me, in view of my official relation to the matter, to express an opinion as to the effect of the senate evidence on the issue which the president decided. The other topics I must pass over for lack of time." Yes indeed those abusive communications of the president and Secretary Taft sent to congress last fall with the "evidence then taken" in the Brownsville matter, certainly did and set forth the shameful attitude of the two worthies mentioned, and their ridiculously weak reasons for their outrageous action in the case of "The Black Battalion." Afro-Americans have not only a clear remembrance of it all but will retain the same thought this and next year, and for years to come. Those 3,200 printed pages of evidence taken by the senate committee on military affairs, to which Mr. Taft refers, clear our soldiers of the criminally disgraceful charge of "shooting up" Brownsville, Tex., but both he and the president, who tried, convicted and sentenced the men without ever giving them a moment in any kind of court or anywhere else to be heard in their own behalf, still stubbornly persist in their refusal to make the amends their refusal to make the amends The Taft claim that there is any real need for further delay on his and the president's part, on the ground that "the hearing is not concluded" and the committee has not made its report, is only offering the shadow of an excuse for further opportunity to remain stubborn some months longer, and thus prolong the punishment and suffering inflicted upon the 167 innocent members of Co.'s B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth infantry. But what more can we expect from a "big man," who six weeks ago advocated tariff revision and now declares against it, at least for 18 months to come, simply because Senator Foraker challenged him to a discussion of the matter of it, the senator like President Roosevelt, being opposed to the same? Little wonder that a majority of his thinking friends are dreadfully disappointed as a result of Mr. Taft's quick change and the miserably poor showing he makes as a public speaker. His speech Monday evening in Columbus was poorly read from manuscript, and at best seems but a rehash of Roosevelt talk and writings. Here is Some Good News! Cambridge. Mass.—The following cannot help but be encouraging. We here have a alderman, sitting and boarded with ten white colleagues and boarded by one of the near cent of whom are white; two Negro representatives in the legislature, chosen by constituencies in which the colored vote is relatively small; seven members of the common council are of African descent; a Negro chief of the fire department, in which he is the only man of color; a black policeman, patrolling streets occupied mostly by white residents, for 19 years in succession; a Negro at the head of the city department of bacteriology; a Negro member or the public library trustees, with all white associates; a black commander of a white post of the Grand Army; a woman nearly pure African blood acting principal of a grammar school in a fashionable district, with six white teachers and several hundred white pupils under her charge. As to Our Twenty-fifth Year! Among the oldest and most valuable of our exchanges is The Cleveland Gazette and among the most congenial editors and versatile writers is its talented editor, Hon. Harry C. Smith. This paper reached its 25th birthday with its issue last week and Brother Smith modestly but appropriately calls attention to its quarto-centennial. With its long experience he has reached the conclusion of many of his contemporaries, that the people it serves so faithfully and so well are lacking in the substantial support which it deserves and needs. It pleads with its readers and friends to make this good in the future. We congratulate generous and jolly "Harry Smith" on the great good The Gazette has accomplished and trust his hopes for the future may be fully realized in an increased circulation, enlarged usefulness, a wider field of influence and the generous substantial support that will bring these results.—Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist. Ben. Tillman Says "I regard Senator Foraker as one of the very strongest men in the United States senate. He is a man who is not afraid to speak his convictions, and he never runs away from a fight. In this respect he is somewhat like myself, and for this quality I admire him. I do not think he will ever be nominated for president of the United States. He was right on the Brownsville matter, but wrong on his position on the rate bill. Just because the Brownsville soldiers were colored men was no reason why they should not be nominated. I am more than 25 of the soldiers out of the 157 were actually connected with the shooting up of Brownsville it is certainly wrong to punish all those innocent men, even if they knew that the other 25 shot up the town." Lynching Cases Again Continued Springfield, Mo.-In the criminal court to-day the cases of Daniel D. Gilbraith and J. Hill Gooch, charged with being the leaders of the mob which hanged and burned three Negroes on the public square a year ago last Easter morning, were continued to August 22. It was stated that the cases were continued to give Prosecuting Attorney Self time to communicate with Attorney General Hadley concerning the final disposition of the charges. The general opinion is that the cases will be dismissed owing to the inability of the prosecution to get witnesses. Prince Wilhelm of Sweden Arrives. Prince Wilhelm of Sweden Arrives. Norfolk, Va. — Prince Wilhelm of Sweden, arrived in Hampton Roads Monday on board the Swedish cruiser Fyigia, and was given a noisy welcome by the ships of the Atlantic squadron, which were decorated in white. The crew of the prince only holds the rank of second lieutenant aboard the Fyigia, as soon as he stepped on shore at the Jamestown exposition he immediately became the grandson of King Oscar of Sweden and outranked his former superiors on shipboard. He came to Norfolk and was given a reception at the Virginia club. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY. AUGUST 24, 1907. FORAKER FOR PRESIDENT! Will Not Support Taft or Roosevelt or Any One Else the Latter Names. Los. Angeles, Cal., Aug. 20, 1907. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I have read with interest all you say editorially and otherwise in The Gazette, regarding the candidacy of the Hon. Joseph B. Foraker for president of the United States. The Afro-American league organization here is not a distinct racial organization in important matters affecting the people as a whole. This is a condition which has come out of the fact that the interest of the people has all along been sacrificed for the personal interests of the few. This condition has forced "a few men of action" to take the initiative to unfasten the bonds of individual and machine enslavement and cry out in behalf of the people. Some 90 days ago we held a public meeting in the Second Baptist church on Maple avenue, at which time and place the Negro population of this city contributed $25 to a fund to push the investigation of the Brownville disfranchisement of the men of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry, and gave notice that the Hon. Joseph B. Foraker was our choice for president of the United States. Not since California has been an integral part of this nation has a colored man ever received the respect of his organization, due largely to his own neglict. The 25,000 Negro voters in this state now want the "door of hope and opportunity" made a reality and in political affairs we will be found moving out with the theater of public action with that independence which characterizes true Americans which characterizes action. If every delegate from California to the national convention shall vote for the administration candidate the Negro will still be found registering his choice against that candidate at the ballot box. The action of the president in the Brownville incident does not appeal to us as the work of a statesman and of a fair-minded man who was doing his duty by the people who had selected him as their public servant. Senator Tillman, who is open in his racial fight against the Negro, is so true to his position that no one can doubt that any person would dine at the principal of a Negro school than consider himself sufficiently glorified by the race that he could with impunity clasp hands with mob violence and say that because you are a Negro you may be disfranchised, dishonored and derided by all good people; murdered or abused without trial by judge or jury. The position he has taken is far worse than that of any individual known to the Negro; made so especially by reason of the position he occupied. We will not get a Negro to the national convention. California has never sent one. We are willing to do whatever we can for our common defender, Senator Foraker, not alone for that, but especially for his fitness as a leader and jurist. We have an organization which will gladly for the best man, our great and good friend. Respectfully, F. H. ORUMBLY HIS LOVE FOR DEMOCRATS Again to be Shown by President Bush to Solid South, for Refish Brasston Atlanta, Ga.—Former Gov. Joseph M. Terrell, who recently retired from the chief magistracy, is to be appointed United States district attorney for the Northern district, to succeed Carter Tate, who will resign to make the race for a Georgia judgeship. It is said that President Roosevelt has had a hand in the deal which will land ex-Gov. Terrell in a federal position. Roosevelt has met ex-Gov. President Roosevelt has and has acquired a fondness for him. The president's liking for the Georgian was increased when the latter, while governor, was instrumental in having a replica of the home of Roosevelt's mother at Roswell, Ga. reproduced at the Georgia building at Jamestown. President Roosevelt's selection of Terrell for district attorney is in keeping with his policy of putting democrats in office which has, so angered old line republicans in Georgia, Carter Tate, who now holds office, is a democrat, and served years in the limos. He was defeated for renomination two years ago and was immediately made district attorney by Roosevelt, displacing Edgar Angler, a life long republican. Some think Roosevelt's fondness for southern democrats indicates that he has designs on the solid south. A WORD ABOUT SENATOR FORAKER. Our esteemed and able contemporary, the New York. Age seems to be of the opinion that President ones and his board of trustees, injured politics into the commencement exercises by inviting Senator Joseph B. Foraker to deliver the address. We fail to see it in that light. As we understand it, Senator Foraker was invited to deliver the address and he chose his subject to suit himself. We have been unable to see that a discussion of the facts in the Brownville investigation carried with it any political significance. Senator Foraker took the time to say that the colored troops had not been proven guilty. He spoke as the representative of the people of Ohio and because the "other fellow," who wants to be president had taken the opposite course is no concern of the average citizen. It should not be forgotten that no public officer of the prominence of the distinguished senator from Ohio could have been invited to speak on such an occasion without being charged with political bias. We have watched Senator Foraker's course and we confess that he has seen no indications that he was desirous of doing other than justice to the faithful black soldier of this country. Every right that we have enjoyed came to us through politics and every privilege that we have lost may be charged up to the same channel so we cannot see that Wilberforce has cause to make apologies for its action. President Goevelt has been making political speeches from the hustings, educational institutions colleges and if he ever gets the chance, he will do the same in the churches by way of an alleged sermon. Mr. Roosevelt is not alone in this mode of procedure for Hon. William Jennings Bryan and even Senator Benjamin Tillman are noted for this kind of political canvassing. We do not believe that Wilberforce will be injured. It will be benefited. Senator Foraker spoke on a subject, which attracted universal attention and one which every one wished to hear. He did the Afro-Americans of this country a great service and we are satisfied that the key note sounded there will echo and re-echo over this broad land for many years to come. If these white folks want peace, let them restore our "Dreyfuses" to the army.-Richmond (Va.) Planet. "Politics at Wilberforce." One of our esteemed contemporaries takes President Jones, of Wilberforce university, to task for the address made by Senator Foraker at its recent commencement exercises, and deprecates on such an occasion subjects of this character as being un fitted in time and place. We emphatically disagree with the editor. A more propitious time or a more fitting place could not have been named. Here were assembled people from every walk of life, from all sections, or parts of Ohio. The subject of the address by the distinguished senator was one of vital importance to the race, it was a national subject in which a certain number of the race had been grossly labeled by the president and his secretary of war. To ascertain the truth or falsity of the statements made, and to learn whether the president was justified in the act which took, was made the subject of an investigation of a special committee of the scheme of which committee Senator Foraker was appointed member—so prominent, in facts that through his efforts alone, we may say, the true facts were brought, which has resulted, to any unbiased mind in establishing that the men of the Twenty-fifth regiment were not guilty as charged, and that Mr. Roosevelt had acted hastily in dismissing them in the manner he did.—Philadelphia (Pa.)

A Great S. S. Reunion! West Mansfield, O—The 29th annual S. S. reunion was held last Thursday near here and was possibly the largest annual gathering of its kind in the country. About 6,000 white and colored citizens attended. All the speakers were loudly applauded. Prof. Clark, of Wilberforce university, gave an exposition of the Brownies' affair, the great mistake of President Roosevelt in discharging without honor "The Black Battalion" and Wilbur King, Esq. of Columbus, very pertinently called attention to the necessity of moral courage on the part of the other race in dealing with ours. All of the talks were interesting. The other speakers were: Rev. J. J. Richards, West Mansfield; Prof. E. E. Finch and Mr. Wm. Bayless, P. Wilberforce, and Hon. E. P. Wilberforce, Belovedain. Music by the S. S. chair and the People's band of Bellefautaine. This annual gathering is controlled by the people of the eastern part of Logan county, which consists of many families of our well-to-do farmers and is a splendid example of the union and mutual respect of those of the two races in this vicinity. F. A. McGINNIS. War Taxes to be Refunded. Washington, D. C.—The refunding of at least $1,000,000 in taxes illegally collected will result from a decision of the commissioner of internal revenue that under the act of June 27, 1902, which repealed the war revenue act, the tax on a legacy does not lie except where the beneficiary came into actual possession of the property bequeathed prior to the passage of the act of June 27, 1902. This rejection of the internal revenue bureau under which the tax was collected regardless of whether the beneficiaries came into the property before or after the war revenue act was repealed. Small Pay Causes Desertions Washington, D. C.—The annual report of Maj. Gi. Gen. Greely, commanding the northern division of the army, which includes the Departments of the Lakes, the Dakotas and Missouri, says that the main reason for desertion, according to the universal opinion of a large number of officers, was the small pay, seconded by the lack of the canteen and resultant trouble in dives surrounding army posts and "the low standard and general worthlessness of recruits." The moral deterioration of the recruits is characterized as a corollary of the small pay given men. This Will Please Taft! Atlanta, Ga.-By a vote of 159 to 16 the house of representatives has passed the disfranchisement bill, which previously was adopted by the senate and now eight southern states have disfranchised their Afro-Americans.

A Six-Year-Old Preacher Charles Wesley Shingler, of Lewistown, Pa., the six-year-old son of a poor farmer, who has not been in school a day in his life and can neither read nor write, has suddenly blossomed out into a real preacher. Some time ago the boy accompanied his grandfather on a railroad trip. On entering the depot at Lewistown Junction some traveling men spoke jokingly of the old man. At once the boy mounted a bench and delivered a sermon on the Crucifixion of Christ, in which he gave advice to the traveling men against making light of their elders. One who heard the sermon took the boy's name and address, and assured him that he had an education that would fit him to preach before a bigger audience. Home. Sweet Home.

The editor of The Gazette returned Wednesday from a lecture tour which included Circleville, Chillicothe, Washington C. H., and a trip to New Carlisle last Saturday to hear Senator Foraker's address to 4,000 people who assembled to participate in a celebration held by the ploneers of several counties. His address was one of the finest the people of that vicinity have ever heard, and he captivated the vast audience. This latter was especially true while treating the Brownsville, Tex., matter. In marked contrast to this great celebration was the Taft demonstration in Columbus Monday night. Roosevelt's secretary of war is a very poor public speaker and reads his speeches from manuscript, and as a result sadly disappointed all, except his most enthusiastic followers, who heard him the first of the week at the state capital.

Third, the great volume of unsolicited and grateful testimonials on file at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass. many of which are from time to time being published by special permission, give absolute evidence of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound For more than 30 years has been curing Female Complaints, such as Dragging Sensations, Weak Back, Falling and Displacements, Inflammation and Ulceration, and Organic Diseases, and it dissolves and expels Tumors at an early stage. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to Women Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. for advice. She is the Mrs. Pinkham who has been advising sick women free of charge for more than twenty years, and before that she assisted her mother-in-law, Lydia E. Pinkham in advising. Thus she is especially well qualified to guide sick women back to health. Write today, don't wait until too late. 4 STOP WOMAN AND CONSIDER First, that almost every operation in our hospitals, performed upon women, becomes necessary because of neglect of such symptoms as Backache, Irregularities, Displacements, Pain in the Side, Dragging Sensations, Dizziness and Sleeplessness. Second, that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, has cured more cases of female ills than any other one case of medicine known. It reg- Amateur Fancier Thought His Responsibility Had Ended. An Indiana man tells of the efforts of an author belonging to the Hoosier school of historical novelists to put in his leisure time as a "hen farmer" in that state. The literary person's venture afforded his agricultural neighbors no end of amusement. During the first year the amateur farmer discovered that all his little chickens, which were confined in coops, were languishing at the point of death. The novelist went over his "hen literature" to locate the cause of the trouble, but to no avail. Finally he called upon an old chap named Rawilins, to whom he put the question: "What do you suppose is the matter with those chickens?" "Well, I dunno," said Rawilins. "What do you feed 'em?" "Feed them!" exclaimed the novelist-farmer. "Why, I don't feed them anything!" "Then, how'd you suppose they was a-goin' to live?" "I presumed," replied the literary person, "that the old hens had milk enough for them now."—Lippincott's Magazine. TEN YEARS OF PAIN. Unable to Do Even Housework Because of Kidney Troubles. Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clinton St., Napoleon, O., says: "For fifteen years I was a great sufferer from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp, shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy spells. For ten years From kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp, shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy spells. For ten years I could not do housework, and for two years did not get out of the house. The kidney secretions were irregular, and doctors were not helping me. Doan's Kidney Pills brought me quick relief, and finally cured me. They saved my life." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. Used Ink for Bluing. "One can never be too careful about apparently harmless articles setting about the house," said a housewife the other day. "Not long ago my husband brought home one of those big tail bottles of ink from the office. It had got to be such a nuisance buying one of the small five-cent bottles every time we ran out of ink, that he said he would bring home a supply. "About a week after that I got a new maid, and when she did the washing she took the big bottle of ink for bluing. Of course every stitch of our white clothes in the washing was ruined." Architects and Closets An architect, says a writer, complains that women have a mania for closets and that when a woman is allowed any liberty in the matter she changes his whole architectural plan in order to make room for them. This, he says, makes him a laughing stock among his fellow architects. This is very interesting, but why do architects make plans if not to make every effort themselves to secure conveniences? A house may be architecturally perfect and yet not fit to live in, and it certainly is not if there is not closet room enough. Cunning Chap. "Yes," confessed the blushing girl with the white parasol. "I thought it rather odd that Jack should keep on asking about our college yell. Finally, to get rid of him, I told him it was three yells in quick succession." "What then?" asked her chum. "What then? Why, the gooose kissed me three times before I could remonstrate and when I gave a yell for each kiss mamma thought I was giving the class yell." The Crack in His Armor "It's a good thing for a man to be a little bald," said the girl as they walked along in the rear of one beneath whose hat showed a small bare half moon. "It takes the conceit out of them. Now there's John. He has a bald spot that he has spent about a hundred dollars on to no effect. When he gets too smart all I have to do is glance carelessly toward that vulnerable spot and he subsides immediately." The Reason Why. "How did you come here?" said one Mexican bull to an old acquaintance, as they met in the arena. "How?" replied the other, with a glance around. "I may say I was gored in."

Good Reason for Capt. Bascomb's In termittent Hearing. When Capt. Bascomb had left his old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new school teacher sitting on the south porch, and had disappeared down the road, the young woman spoke of him with some curiosity. "I understand from Mrs. Bascomb that her husband was very deaf, 'almost stone-deaf,' she told me, 'I'm sure,' said the school teacher. "But he seemed to hear all we said with perfect ease." Capt. Somers leaned toward her and spoke in a low, cautious tone, although there was no eavesdropper to hear him. "Don't let Mis' Bascomb know it," he said, hurriedly. "He does seem to hear pretty well when she ain't round, but none of us folks ever let on to her. She's a good woman as ever lived, but a most tremendous bosser and an everlastin' talker. An' we all think that Gersh Bascomb began to realize ten years ago that if he didn't want to be harried right off'n the face o' the earth, the thing for him to do was to grow deef, gradual, but steady—an' he done it, to all intents an' purposes, ma'am!" — Youth's Companion. CAME PRETTY FAST FOR PAT. At That, He Had Had Only What the Doctor Ordered. A Philadelphia physician says that not long ago he was called to see an Irishman, and among other directions told him to take an ounce of whisky three times a day. A day or so later he made another visit and found the man, while not so sick, undeniably drunk. "How did this happen?" the physician demanded of Pat's wife, who was hovering about solicitously. "Sure, dochter, an' tis just what you ordered, an' no more, that he had," she protested. "I said one ounce of whisky three times a day; that could not make him drunk," the physician said. "He has had much more than that." "Divil a drop more, dochter, dear," she declared. "Sure an' ol didn't know just how much an ounce was so ol wint to the drug store an' asked, an' the lad—he's a broth of a boy, too-told me that an ounce was 16 drams and Pat has had thin regular, an' no more!" -Harper's Weekly. Man does what he can, and bears what he must, and the name by which he calls the result is left to each to decide; a clever man calls it happiness.—Goethe. FOOD FACTS Grape-Nuts FOOD A Body Balance People hesitate at the statement that the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as much nourishment from one pound as can be absorbed by the system from ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or oats. Ten pounds of meat might contain more nourishment than one pound of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that the system will absorb as large a proportion of, as the body can take up from one pound of Grape-Nuts. This food contains the selected parts of wheat and barley which are prepared and by natural means pregested, transformed into a form of sugar, ready for immediate assimilation. People in all parts of the world testify to the value of Grape-Nuts. A Mo. man says: "I have gained ten pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I can truly recommend it to thin people." He had been eating meat, bread, etc., right along, but there was no ten pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts food was used. One curious feature regarding true health food is that its use will reduce the weight of a corpulent person with unhealthy flesh, and will add to the weight of a thin person not properly nourished. There is abundance of evidence to prove this. Grape-Nuts balances the body in a condition of true health. Scientific selection of food elements makes Grape-Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious flavor and powerful nourishing properties have made friends that in turn have made Grape-Nuts famous "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Scores Both Roosevelt and Taft! Splendid Declaration of Principles and Strong Anti-Taft Resolutions—The Ohio Afro-American League and Officers. Columbus, O.—The greatest, most harmonious, (for there was perfect harmony, unanimity of purpose and action at all times) most enthusiastic and successful race conference ever held in Ohio, certainly within the last quarter of a century, was the meet on May 15 in Lazarus' hall, this city. The exceptional personnel of the gathering had much, of course, to do with this. Nearly 100 prominent Afro-American ministers, business and professional men, republican leaders from the different parts of Ohio met in a state conference at the request of the editor of The Gazette, defined their position in the pending presidential contest between Senator Foraker and Secretary Taft and served notice upon the secretary and his friends that neither Taft nor Roosevelt, nor anyone the latter supports, will receive the support of the Afro-American voters of Ohio, who are 40,000 strong. President Roosevelt was both condemned and denounced, and Senator Foraker was commended and indicted in the most glowing terms. The strongest language was used in denouncing the chief executive, the delegates were thoroughly in accord with the resolutions and they were adopted without a dissenting vote. The committee was made up as follows: Rev. J. M. Gillmore, chairman; Hon. K. C. Smith, Cleveland; Hon. C. L. Maxwell, Xenia; Rev. E. L. Gilliam, Columbus; Walter S. Thomas, Columbus; Prof. W. P. D. Babney, Cincinnati; Rev. W. O. Harper, Dayton; Major Arthur J. Riggs, Springfield; Dr. W. S. Columbus; Dr. S. J. Jordan, Chillicothe; Dr. S. J. White, Steubenville; Secretary of War, Tried did not escape the instrument of the president. "Foraker first, last and all tae time," and defiance of the man with the big stick, was declared to the slogan of Afro-Americans, in the future, and the name of "Foraker" was determined upon as the password to any meeting of our citizens. The meeting was called to order at 10:30 a. m. by Dr. Wren. Rev. T. Talbert, of Wilberforce, was named for chairman by the editor of The Gazette, and Dr. Wren and Mr. Poston were made secretary and assistant respectively. While the committee on resolutions were out, addresses were made by delegates and others among this number were: Rev. J. Riggs, of Washington C. H.; Messrs. Riggs, of Walshert, Attorney N. B. Marshall, of Washington D. C., and Glendistrue New York City. When the committee returned and reported the following splendid declaration of principles: anti-Taft resolutions, and provided for a permanent organization known as the Ohio Afro-American league, the wildest cheering and enthusiastic acclaim was heard for a block. Declaration of Principles "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emolument. "As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and exact justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. As love and faithful members of the republican 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 halt. "The presidential embroglio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and our forces for a triumphant campaign against the combined armies of hatred, prejudice and indifference toward us within the party ranks. "President Roosevelt has not been uniformly just and square in his dealings with the Afro-American and cannot be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the south wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favorite uncles had fought under the stars and bars during the rebellion. If he was proud of the fact that they fought over our forbears in servile bondage and 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 Summer, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Albion W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thousands of others who suffered in our behalf, and we know that not one of them, and we know that not one 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, rejoining the senate of the States or retiring to private life. But whatever his personal ambition may be we believe in the inherent right of every American citizen to "stand pat" whatever 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 compuls 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 his nominations and votes will bring about his nominations. We have reached that point. 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. "We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding starchamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent. Signed: "C. L. Maxwell, Xenia, "E. L. Gilliam, Columbus, "Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, "William Guy Wren, Columbus S. S. Jordan, Chillicothe, W. P. Dabney, Cincinnati, W. J. Harper, Dayton, Chesley S. Gibbon, Shubenville, J. M. Gilmere, Cleveland, chairman "Walter S. Thomas, Columbus, secretary." The Resolutions. Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taff, 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. Taff, in his speeches at Greenbabor, N. C. and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1906, 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. Taff, after the dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownies publicly branded them as criminals, 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-making 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 dismissal without trial of 167 brave and meritorious soldiers, many of them grown gray in the service of their country, in Indian wars and the pacifist wars, have been prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conservatism and justice which should characterize an aspirant for the greatest honor of our party and nation. Furthermore, Be it resolved, that we call upon our brethren throughout this great state, particularly, and the country to join in our protest and warning to all republicans who support the Hon. W. H. Taft for anything at this time, that they are thus forfeiting the good will and support for the future of all loyal members of our race. --- Hon. Harry C.

Oklahoma City Surprised Narrow Minded New Yorker. Oklahoma amazes an easterner. The wide, asphalted streets, the plate glass fronts of department stores, the clean sidewalks, the well-dressed, unhurried shoppers, the finish, the metropolitan air you find in Oklahoma City, for example, seem marvels to find in a territory only 17 years old. But do not say so. A New Yorker who went there on business complained that fate was thrusting him into a wilderness, and his Oklahoma associates could not reassure him. But coming down to breakfast the first morning, at his hotel in Oklahoma City, he stared around in wonder as he entered the dining-room. "This," he exclaimed, "this is Oklahoma!" Why, do you know?" confidently, "I even found a porcelain bathub in my room." "Well," said an Oklahoman, drilly, "don't you have those in New York?" BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING. Rash Covered Face and Feet—Would Cry Until Tired Out—Speedy Cure by Cuticura. "My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her most, especially nights. They would cause her to be broken in her rest, and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I thought I would give them a trial. The improvement was noticeable in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as 'cradle cap' from her head, and it worked like a charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time. Mrs. Hattie Currler, Thomaston, Me., June 9, 1905." The Manchester canal was built at a cost of $75,000,000 to reduce freight rates for a distance of 35 miles, and, while it did not prove a good interest bearing investment on such a large expenditure, its indirect and more permanent benefits are said to have warranted it. Germany has 3,000 miles of canal, carefully maintained, besides 7,000 miles of other waterway. France, with an area less than we would consider a large state, has 3,000 miles of canal; and in the northern part, where the canals are most numerous, the railways are more prosperous. England, Germany, France, Holland and Belgium are all contemplating further extension and improvement of their canal systems.—Century Magazine. The Three Milkmen A man in a small western town bought a quart of milk and on arriving home found it was adulterated with water. The next day he posted bills in different sections of the town reading: "I bought a quart of milk yesterday which I found to be adulterated. If the scoundrel will bring me another quart I will not denounce him." The next day he found three quart cans on his doorstep. There were three dalrymen in the town—Judge's Library. Late Already. Five minutes after the tardy song had struck, the principal of the school was walking through the lower hall when he saw a pudgy little fellow scampering toward the first grade room as fast as his fat legs could carry him. "See here, young man, I want to talk to you," called the principal. "I have time to talk to you; I'm late already." replied the breathless beginner as the door of his classroom closed.—The Circle. Punishment by Inches. A Bergen (Genesee county) justice of the peace has adopted an original scheme for the dispensation of justice. Henry Meyer, 27 years old and seven feet two inches tall, was a prisoner in his court for stealing four bags of oats. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, one day for each inch of stature and one for each bag—Nunda (N. Y.) News. Yes. Yes. "I suppose," said Mrs. Tartleigh "when you die you expect to meet your husbands?" "You are very rude," retorted Mrs. Muchwedde. "When I die I expect to go to heaven."—Young's Magazine. WHAT'S THE USE? To Pour in Coffee When It Acts as a Vicious Enemy. Fasters have gone without food for many days at a time but no one can go without sleep. "For a long time I have not been sleeping well, often lying awake for two or three hours during the night but now I sleep sound every night and wake up refreshed and vigorous," says a Calif. woman. "Do you know why? It's because I used to drink coffee but I finally cut it out and began using Postum. Twice since then I have drank coffee and both times I passed a sleepless night, and so I am doubly convinced coffee caused the trouble and Postum removed it. "My brother was in the habit of drinking coffee three times a day. He was troubled with sour stomach and I would often notice him getting soda from the can to relieve the distress in his stomach; lately hardly a day passed without a dose of soda for relief. "Finally he tried a cup of Postum and liked it so well he gave up coffee and since then has been drinking Postum in its place and says he has not once been troubled with sour stomach." Even after this lady's experience with coffee her brother did not suspect for a time that coffee was causing his sour stomach, but easily proved it. Coffee is not suspected in thousands of cases just like this but it's easily proved. A ten day's trial works wonders. "There's a Reason."

W.L.Douglas, Breckton, Maine He Was Not to Blame. Little Bartholomew's mother overheard him swearing like a mule driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He displayed a fluency that overwhelmed her. She took him to task, explaining the wickedness of profanity as well as its vulgarity. She asked him where he had learned all those dreadful words. Bartholomew announced that Cavert, one of his playmates, had taught him. Cavert's mother was straightway informed and Cavert was brought to book. He vigorously denied having instructed Bartholomew, and neither threats nor tears could make his confess. At last he-burst out: "I didn't tell Bartholomew any cuss words. Why should I know how to cuss any better than he does? Hasn't his father got an automobile, too?" Cause for Resentment.
