THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 5. DAINTYFROCKS unflaud The first frock displayed is suited to expression either in linen, pique or alpaca, while the bands could be appropriately chosen of cotton braid, fanciful galon, or glace silk, and the vest should be of one of those cretones with blurred blossoms upon their surface, which fashion favors suspiciously lately. The mushroom hat is of violet straw with a violet silk bow at the left side and a bunch of violet pansies at the right. The other sketch shows a frock of striped pique with trimmings of cotton cords and a vest and under sleeves of embroidered lawn. AN more distinctive possibilities of the coat and skirt as adapted to the differing requirements of the "sweet seventeen" ingenu be imagined than that which is herewith sketched for you? The costume is of biscuit colored tweed faintly checked, and introducing near the hem of ering thread run along it, and for neatness' sake the top is turned down half an inch on to the right side, the first gathering going through the double thickness. To join flounce on to upper, divide it first into halves, then quarters; do the same with the skirt, and then pin quarter to quarter, drawing the gathering threads up and twisting them round the pins when the material is drawn the requisite length between each, thus regulating the fullness evenly. Tack on carefully, and then machine on to wrong side of skirt, after which press. Finish off the ends of the V trimming of lace neatly. Dress of Flowered Cotton Voile. that they do not look unsightly when the loose overskirt blows back. the loose overskirt blows back. We now come to the fashioning of the bodice. This has a seamless back and full fronts, both gathered into a narrow "American" yoke - viz, one cut all in one piece. The lining of the bodice is a fitting one, and must have binding "pockets" run up the side seams, and darts for the bones to be put into; these can then easily be drawn out when the dress requires cleaning or washing. Two long crossway pieces of the volle, some 18 inches in width, make the fichn-like brettes that drape the shoulders; these two pieces are joined together down the back, coming into a sharp point at the waist and forming a V between the shoulders, which is filled up with gathered spotted muslin after the manner of the vest in front. Bodice and fichu are caught together half way down the front, and nearly the whole length down the side, by slip-stitching under the inch-wide hem that balances the velvet trimmings of the front. A lace collar is laid on just under the third band of bebe velvet, and can either be carried round the back, concealing the point of the V, or a lace motif can be made. The sleeves are small puffs over a fitting lining, and with turn-back cuffs of the voile interlined with muslin, trimmed with rows of velvet. The under sleeves correspond with the vest. For a woman of medium height, nine and a half yards of 42-inch material would fashion the costume, while five yards of lace and about a couple of dozen yards of bebe ribbon velvet would suffice for the trimming. C AN more distinctive possibilities of the coat and skirt as adapted to the differing requirements of the "sweet seventeen" ingenuue be imagined than that which is herewith sketched for you? The costume is of biscuit colored tweed faintly checked, and introducing near the hem of the trimly-hanging walking skirt a band of pale blue cloth, headed with deeply scalloped silken braid matching the tweed in tone. On the charming coatee the blue cloth and the braid also figure effectively, and there is, too, a waistcoat of the soft blue, fastening in a series of scallops, and all edged with narrow black and white braid, and a tiny ruffling of lace, the buttons, too, being in blue and black and white rimmed round with gold. Every detail is, indeed, worth studying, and then the hat, too, is charming, simply and smartly trimmed as it is with groups of white wings. The cotton volleys have come to rival printed chiffons in the delicacy of their colorings and beauty of pattern and are essentially a fabric for festive attire, and their cost being so little they appeal to the home dressmaker as particularly suited to the creation of an economical yet apparently costly costume. Our illustration demonstrates the possibilities of this cloth. It will be noted that the *jimmings* are arranged in the simplest manner, and the method of putting them on will be here explained in due course. We will proceed now with the cutting out: The skirt pattern consists of one half of the top of the underskirt, one half of the flounce, and half of the overskirt. This last-named is cut practically on the same principle as the underskirt, only with the front edge to the selvedge and the bias seam at the back, whereas the underskirt has the front and back seams both slightly on the bias, the latter more so than the former, but neither so much so as is the central back seam of the overskirt. The full flounce in its turn demands that the overskirt shall be heavily gored so as to get plenty of width at the hem and thus fall easily in with the folds of the flounce. For the back seam of skirt place a length of Prussian binding along the seam when tacking the two parts together; machine one edge of this in, when doing the seam; afterwards fell the other edge down over the raw edges of the seam, and thus neaten and strengthen it all at the same time. The binding should match the color of the volle, and if it is impossible to get this, a length of sarcenet or narrow glace ribbon will be nearly as serviceable and possibly easier to obtain. The back seam of the overskirt should be what is called a "French" seam—that is, it should first be stitched with the raw edges facing the right side of the material, then this should be folded face to face and another seam tacked, of a depth sufficient to enclose the narrow turns of the first one. The flounce has two rows of gath- In Union There is Strength. 5. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1907. (From Brunswick, Ga., Advocate, D W. Neford, Editor.) QUEER CHRISTIANITY Exhibited in the Management of Chauquaita that Hire Tillman to Speak. The Des Moines, Iowa, Register and Leader commenting upon the protest of students against Tillman's lecture before the state's question at issue with commendable fairness. It does seem strange that people professing to GAZETTE. stand for all that is best intellectually and morally in a respectable community should invite a man like Tillman to sow seeds of discord. It shows to what extent the money-getting spirit of the age has degraded even the best of American communities. It also shows in what contempt the average American city holds the Negro since it will allow him to be maligned in a manner which it would not tolerate in the case of Italians, Jews, Bohemians or any other class of American citizens. But here is what our able Iowa contemporary says: "The register and Leader believes the colored people are justified in their protest against the tauqua lecture of the usual variety in Des Moines. Would any organization in Des Moines invite Senator Tillman to devote an hour to the abuse of the Italians, the Jews, the Irish, the Germans, the Bohemians, the English or the Yankees? And yet each of these divisions of the human family have their racial traits and human frailties. "Senator Tillman does not tell the truth about the colored people. He does not give a correct idea of the real situation in the south. Archbishop Ireland says the Negro has made more progress in one generation than any race of history. The Register and Leader has repeatedly re-published from the columns of southern newspapers the status of the Negro, show that the real race problem of the south is occasioned by the rapidity with which the Negroes are acquiring property and an education, and surpassing the poor white population. "Why should any northern society be willing to permit Senator Tillman to abuse and vilify the Negro, to say nothing of paying him to do it, when it would not for a moment consider allowing him to say anything in the same spirit about any other race?" There ought to be a sense of Anglo-Saxon fairness in the north, that if race prejudices are to be revived at so much per, would impartially expose the weaknesses and criminalities of all races. "If there be good and sufficient reason why we do not permit public ridicule and condemnation of other races by wholesale, is there not good and sufficient reason why the north at least should cease to contribute its good money to help southern swashbuckling, work their political game, which is to keep themselves in office by a false alignment of the white man against the Negro? "The Negro forms about one-tenth of the total population. He is here to stay. He is trying to make something of himself. He is seeking an education and is acquiring a home. He has plenty of leaders who have surpassed Senator Tillman in learning, in culture, in manliness, and all essentials of decent American citizenship. What is to be gained by listening to or permitting this continued and unjust abuse of the Negro? Is it not about time to give the under dog a chance?"—Omaha (Neb.) Enter prise. ADDRESS TO COUNTRY A Portion of the National Afro-American Councils—Columbus, O. the Meeting Place Next Year. Baltimore, Md.—The following is of particular interest to Ohioans at this time—so says Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the Council: "At great peril—at the pegil of his political life Senator Foraker has championed the cause of 'The Black Battailon' against the enormous and unexposed injustice and wanton abuse of executive authority. To the great senator of Ohio, the colored people of Ohio, and gratitude. Let them repay him a part of this debt by standing as bravely by him in his fight for political life as he stood by 'The Black Battailon' on the floor of the senate, in the senate committee on military affairs, and on the platform, and in the press. "In politics we must learn to love our friends and serve them at whatever cost of personal or party sacrifice and loss, and at the same time to punish our enemies and seek their destruction at the polls regardless of any ill consequences to party or self. With a free ballot in our hands in the north did we have the manly independence and the will to wield it as a weapon of defense and offence we can punish our enemies and reward our friends, and advance at the same time unselfishly the interests and the rights of the race north and south alike. We can make this vote a term even to so powerful and autochthonous ruler, the present occupant of the White House and Secretary Taft, and to Senator Lodge, the Massachusetts, and Senator Warner, the souli, who have vied with each other to do the bidding of President Roosevelt in relation to 'The black Battalion.' Let colored men unite, organize, concentrate everywhere in the north to defeat at the polls those same enemies of the race, and in the south to defeat those same enemies. Justice, liberty, equality before the law we desire for ourselves and posterity above all things and, with nothing less, God helping us, will we be content as free men and American citizens." That Jamestown, Va., Exposition! We quote briefly from an article in the Indianapolis Freeman, which paper has been rather favoring the annex: "From Baltimore, we journeyed to Norfolk and Jamestown, Va.; from what we saw and experienced, we are satisfied that it was a most serious mistake for the Negro to have had anything to do with the Jamestown exposition...No self-respecting Negro will want to go there. The Jim Crow treatment begins as soon as you board the boat at Baltimore, and increase your chances of landing Norfolk to the grounds, and when you get on the grounds—well it would take a more eloquent pen than to tell of the abominable and devilish treatment you receive.

FORAKER Directs Taft's and Roosevelt's Attention to Disfranchisement—Taft as a "Knocker"—The New Rebellion in the South. Georgetown, O.—in his great speech here last week Wednesday, Senator Foraker, among other timely things, said: "Specific information will be greatly appreciated from Secretary Taft on the tariff. I would be glad, too, if he would, before he gets beyond hearing distance, tell us what, if anything, should in his opinion be done by the chief executive about the defiant nullification of the war amendments to the constitution involved in such statutes as that passed in Georgia only a few days ago. He is properly in favor of doing all in our power for the eight millions of brown people in the Philippines, who were not recently entire strangers and open enemies. But how about the ten millions of black people in America, not one of whom ever drew attention to the defiantness and defiantness being denied their constitutional rights of citizenship? Is there no power to prevent such an offense against human rights and such an overthrow of our organic law? And if there be such a power anywhere, why is it not in some proper manner asserted, or, if there be no such power, why is not our attention directed to the necessity of supplying it? New Rebellion in South. "But I would know also, if I am not too inquisitive, and I certainly do not desire to be, what the views of an aspirant to the presidency may be about the new rebellion that has broken out in some of the southern states, notably North Carolina and Alabama, in the form of open defiance of the authority of the United States courts? Is this to be checked and restrained, or is it to be allowed to feed upon itself and grow strong to the point of menacing our institutions?" "And now, finally, I would be glad if the secretary would kindly inform us before he quits the country, to be absent from it until after our approaching municipal elections, whether he will this year again advise the republicans of Cincinnati and Hamilton county, as he did two years ago, to vote against their ticket? The men who will control the nominations that are to be made this year will be, just as certainly as a ticket is named, the same men who made the nominations two years ago. Are we to again suffer humiliating defeat on their account? If not, why not? Can it be possible that in such a matter it makes a difference whose ox is gored?" THE "JIM CROW" CAR LAW. New York City.—The following from the Evening Post of this city, is so fair, that it is worthy of reproduction in The Gazette: "What constitutes discrimination, if it is not being made to sit apart, not by reason of misconduct or lack of cleanliness or failure to pay the full rate, but because of the color of one's skin? Supposing Commissioner Lane were to leave Washington on a southern-bound train in a company with, let us say, Dr. Du Bols, one of the most learned men of the country with the registrar of the treasury, with Major Lynch, of the army, or any one of a host of cultured black men and women—would he feel that there was no discrimination if, on leaving Alexandria, the conducter were to compel his companion to enter another car? The United States uniform would not protect Major Lynch, nor a commission any of our colored federal officials. We have yet to find one of them who does not think that this is discrimination of the worst kind, not only setting them apart, but depriving them of that liberty and freedom of movement which is the essential attribute of citizenship in a democracy. Eventually, if there is to be justice in this country, these and the other decisions must be upset." ROOSEVELT AND TAFT! As to freedom of thought, it may be said that while we concede men's right to think, we cannot allow them free rein to plot and plan knavery and personal self-seeking at the expense of their fellows. It is absurd to contend that ANY man has a right to stand for ANY honor. Has Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Taft a right to aspire for any honor at the hands of the black men they have denounced as a race of raplists, midnight assassins, perjurers and subborners of perjury, and finally bid off as fooils? Away with such doctrine. After our great civil war what man or man had the right to aspire for honors from this nation? How did he who opposed and belittled and decided after that was made to preserve the honor of integrity of the Union, or the men who took muskets and went to the front and did and dared? Whom did the nation honor—Vallandingham or Grant?—Boston Guardian. 2 One Year. $15.4 Six Months. 1.00 Three Months. 8.0 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- office money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio ALLOW PATENT TRADE SCHOOL COUNCIL CLEVELAND Cleveland, Saturday, August 31, 1907. 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 The New York Independent's rebuke to Bishop Satterlee which we republish elsewhere in The Gazette, today, is a gem. So is The Freeman's Jamestown exposition comment and the Boston Guardian's, on Roosevelt, Taft and Booker Washington. The editor of The Brunswick Ga.) Advocate has certainly sized up the situation correctly from the loyal Afro-American's viewpoint. His article is a terrific indictment of both Roosevelt and Taft which every member of the race in this country ought to read carefully, thoughtfully. Now it appears that the claim of mouthy southern whites that they are being taxed for Negro education, is a spurious one. "The boot is on the other foot" in a majority of instances. Most of the southern states are using part of the tax money of Negroes to educate white children. Our children suffer as a result. TAFT'S LEXINGTON SPEECH According to the Associated Press dispatches to the daily newspapers of the country. Secretary of War Taft in his speech at Lexington, Ky., last week Thursday, "gave much praise to Booker T. Washington and others who had urged the wisdom of making the education of the Negro manual and industrial." This of course was very pleasing to our enemies in the south and many dough-faced northern white people who do not wish us to enjoy higher education. They prefer Afro-Americans to receive only the kind that will make of them better "hewers of wood and drawers of water." That is why Booker T. Washington's advocacy of "manual and industrial education for the Negro" is so popular in the south and with so large a number of whites in the north. It is clear that Mr. Taft, who started his effort to placate the south with his speech at Greensboro, N.C., last year condoning disfranchisement, is determined to continue it at all hazards. This is made doubly noticeable as a result of the care with which he explained the best method of disfranchisement Negro voters in the south and undertook to saddle the "leadership" of Booker T. Washington upon people, preaching the latter's pernicious doctrine of giving the right of suffrage, willingly yielding to disfranchisement, and by "becoming respected business members in the various communities in which they live and by the exercise of independence of judgment in respect to political issues," gradually winning back the precious right to vote. No advice to our people in the eight southern states now in possession of disfranchisement laws could be siller or more harmful. The disfranchised Afro-American, if he has not already done so, must begin at once and maintain until successful crowns his efforts a constant fight to regain his suffrage rights, or they will never be restored to him, even though they have robbed him of them in defiance of the fundamental law of the land. It is strange that Secretary Taft does not give the same "advice" to the thousands of ignorant and intelligent disfranchisement white voters in those eight southern states. Equally as silly and pernicious is his statement that the "respected business" and disfranchised Afro-Americans of the southern communities, and those who "exercise independence of judgment in respect to political issues" will, when their vote is returned to them as a result of these conditions, exercise a far more useful influence than they have in the past when allowed to vote. The southern Afro-American who would listen to such "advice" is worse than a fool. Let him ever make the mistake of acquencing in the robbery of his right to vote, and he and many generations of his posterity will not live long enough to see its return, regardless of how "respected" he may become as a "business member" of the community, or how well he may "exercise independence of judgment" in respect to political or other issues.

Topeka, Kan.-After a bitter fight in the committee on resolutions, the Western Negro Press association on the 15th, let President Roosevelt down easy in reference to the Brownsville affair, saving that "he had been misinformed" and asking the restatement of the Negro soldiers. The association commended the efforts of Senator Foraker in behalf of the race and the much-abused Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry. Resolution 116, which the senators were voted down, and Senator Foraker, who has been fighting the big secretary of war in Ohio, got all the praise, as he should everywhere.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1967. ROOSEVELT "CONSISTANCY." NO TAFT IN OURS. Last fall, a year ago, the writer was a candidate on the republican ticket for a fourth term in the Ohio legislature from this county. With the entire local republican ticket, with one exception, and the republican candidate for governor, Col. Myron T. Herrick, we were all sent down to defeat as the result of a speech delivered at Akron by secretary of war, Wm. H. Taft, and the reform cry of graft, directed by him and other persons against Geo. B. Cox, of Cincinnati. In plain words the effort to eliminate Cox from Ohio politics resulted in the defeat for re-election of Gov. Herrick (who did much to help himself down to defeat, we will admit) and hundreds of local republican candidates throughout the state. Now comes Mr. Cox with a suggestion that this same man, Taft, be endorsed by Ohio republicans for the republican nomination for the presidency next year, that Senator Foraker be endorsed for re-election to the United States senate and that Gov. Harris be nominated in the next republican state convention. His suggestion is alright as far as his 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 Disfranchisement Brownville Taft, as well as Mr. Cox, might just as well know this now on later. 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, owns the theater building. When leading Afro-Americans of that city called on him and asked him not to permit the dirty show to be put on in his theater, he refused to make any effort whatever to comply with their respectful, reasonable and very proper request. The result was the republican nomination of the Cincinnati Grand House and the minds of many thousands of persons, already too thoroughly saturated with prejudice and hatred of the Afro-American, who were poisoned even more against our people, if such a thing be possible. No wonder the Afro-Americans of Ohio spoke out so strongly against the alleged Taft candidacy and even those who are trying to promote it. With Brother Charles aiding and abetting Tom Dixon's dirty work against the race with his infernal play. The Clansman and Secretary of State were working resolutively in his effort to fasten the alleged Brownsville, Texas, riot crime upon "The Black Battalion," it is high time for others of our people beside those who live in Ohio to get busy along the same resolution line. notify us at once if your Gazette fails to arrive as regularly and satisfactorily as it should.

BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR! What a Confederate Veteran Says of It and the Negro Soldier—Guerilla The following letter to the Sandusky Register will be read with much interest: Washington, D. C., June 29. Editor of the Register:—In this city lives, temporarily, Col. J. L. Wofford of Corinth. Miss. Prior to the war of 1861-65 he was a wealthy slave owner, having more than 100 African servants. For a time life was a neighbor of Jefferson Davis and held conspicuous positions of trust in his native state. He served in the Confederate army first to last, and during the closing days of the war was chief of staff for Lleuit. Gen. Stephen D. Bess, present commander-in-chief of the Confederate veterans and the most noted military remnant of the Confederacy. In a recent interview he said: "I have heard from most of the testimony in the Brownsville affair and have read the reports of all. I used to live in Texas and know the character of the 'greasers' in the region of Brownsville. I have known the character of the Negro from my childhood. From my knowledge of these classes I am free to say that the Negro troops had no more to do with the 'shooting up' of Brownsville than you did, and you were not within 1,500 miles of the place. I am convinced that it was a hellish plot of the 'greasers' to create a prejudice against the colored troops. There is not an exslave holder in the town, divested of his party prejudices, would not take the work of one of those Negro soldiers rather than of the 'greasers' of Brownsville. This you may publish as my judgment in the premises after having followed the matter carefully and impartially from the first. "You may say, further, that Senator Foraker deserves and will finally receive the thanks of the American people for the just, brave, fearless and patriotic standpoint he has occupied in this entire investigation. He has been hampered somewhat by lick-spittle politicians and subsidized newspapers that have for selfish purposes catered to the powers that occupy the presidential office. Senator Foraker has heroically maintained the right, not only in this case but in others. "Senator Foraker merits the support not only of every true republican in Ohio but of every true, justice-loving, patriotic citizen of the nation. We ought to be nominated and elected president. He is the ablest man today in public life, most abundantly equipped to be leader of this mighty nation. I am for Foraker." A REBUKE. The New York Independent in its issue of July 18th hands Bishop Satterlee this: Let us say to Bishop Satterlee that he is as ignorant of the Negroes as he confesses he was, until lately, of the Methodists. The colored people of America are not concerned about social recognition, only about their equal personal rights. They do not admit that they are intellectually or physically inferior to any other race; they are only a little later getting started. They have an ambition, a reasonable one, which we will do our best to support, that in intelligence, culture, wealth and genius they may prove themselves equal to the best the world has yet produced. We expect to see men of that blood occupying the highest positions in this country, all conceited and arrogant Caucasian or Anglo-Saxon assumption to the contrary notwithstanding. We want to see it; it is decently Christian to desire it. And what is Fame? the meanest have their day. The Greatest can but blaze and pass away. —Pope-Horace Shot Herself and Husband. Wheeling, W. Va. — Miss Kate Thompson, of Boston, who has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. Pryor, left Sunday for home.—Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wright, of Columbus, are here visiting.—Prof. and Mrs. I. C.

I.-Upon the statement that no Afro-American is available, the war department has authorized the re-enlistment of the present chief musician of the Tenth cavalry, a white man, at the end of his present enlistment, which expires July 31 of the present year. He was discharged by the enlisted men of the regiment, who rejoiced at the prospect of a colored man holding such a conspicuous and well-paying position as chief musician of a regimental band. There is a similar vacancy in the Ninth cavalry. 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 (UK) American Baptist NO POLITICS AT WILBERFORCE. The president of the United States, it is said, exerted every influence to defeat Senator Foraker's appearance at the Wilberforce commencement both before and after the invitation to speak had been tendered him. Finding too much manhood at Wilberforce, he endeavored to secure a place on the program for Vice President Fairbanks, to the end that the interest in Senator Foraker might be divided. He failed in one as ingloriously as in the other, and Senator Foraker carried away single-handed both the glory of the event and the hearts of his hearers. In inviting Senator Foraker to deliver its annual address, Wilberforce received as much glory as it bestowed, for who is it now in the public mind that exceeds him in moral courage, in the rectitude of his behavior in ability? Forakers are extremely few and far between. It highly became the leading Negro school of the land to invite to its rostrum the leading defender of the principles for which that school stands, just as it becomes the Negro people to stand by him against threats on the one hand and entreaties on the other from those who too long have used them as a political pawn. There was no politics in Senator Foraker's appearance at Wilberforce, and we believe no disinterested person will so contend. And if there were politics in it it was high politics, and the Negro could well afford to play more of that kind. Wilberforce rendered a distinct service to the American Negro in securing Senator Foraker for its commencement orator.—N. Y. National Review. AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY. The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following cities: Dayton, Zanesville, East Liverpool, Lansing, Lansing, Lansing, Sidney, Gallipolis, Portsmouth, Washington C. H. Troy, Urbana, Sandusky, Cambridge, Hamilton, Wellsville, Toledo, Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Oll City, Tittsville, Newcastle, Sewickley, Sharon, Pa. Clarksville, Wellsburg and Parkersburg, W. Va., and other places where we have none. Write to the editor of the Gazette, Blackstone building, Cleveland, O., and terms will be sent promptly. Our readers will oblige us greatly by sending us a letter of thanks or persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. Who Pays the Bill? The claim that the whites of the south are taxing themselves for Negro education, has about as much basis in fact as a similar claim that the wealthy classes of the north are taxing themselves to educate the children of the non-property holding laboring man, would have. The man who does the work pays the tax. Every system of political economy recognizes the principle that the laborer, the tenant and the consumer pay every dollar in the laborer is to count for anything there is not to count in Union where white people pay for Negro education. On the contrary, it will be found that in at least four states the Negro receives less for education than he pays in taxes; of course not direct taxes but indirect ones—Washington (D. C.) Horizon. Taft Says Dr. Booker T. Washington! Found $3,000. Philadelphia, Pa.—James Booker, an Afro-American, found a wallet along the Philadelphia & Reading R. R. near Marcus Hook Saturday, containing $3,000 in bank notes. He ascertained from papers in the wallet that the purse belonged to Howard Pew, general superintendent of the Philadelphia plant at Marcus Hook. He returned him to Pew, who rewarded him with a $5 bill and a job for life as watchman of the oil plant. We say openly, that under no consideration, will we support Mr. Roosevelt if unfortunately he becomes the presidential nominee of the next national republican convention, nor will we support Taft or any national ticket that he may endorse. We look upon Mr. Roosevelt as the greatest enemy the Negro race has in this country today. He has insulted us times without number, and will continue as long as he is in a position to do so. We are not to be cailed by any sophist or honeyed phrases that may come from him or from those who are friendly to him and claim to have his ear. Much of the prejudice that exists towards us to-day has been augmented and intensified by his action toward us, and we are told that food members of the race who have agreed to deliver the Afro-American voter, bound head, neck and heels, to the tail of Mr. Roosevelt's election train.—Houston (Tex.) Freeman. The tide is already setting against violent agitation of the Vardaman kind. In Vardaman's own state a leading lawyer, Mr. Leroy Percy, in an address before a recent meeting of the Mississippi State Bar association, declared strongly in favor of the education of the Negroes. He affirmed the senselessness of holding that illiterates of any race are better citizens than men of some education. He said that his own experience had taught him that educated colored people are much more reliable and useful than those of no school. He even exchanged a letter in that direction of the south to give the Vardaman ancient education to guard him against being the constant prey of unscrupulous white men. And, in the domain of Vardaman, the remarks of Mr. Leroy Percy were received with marked approbation.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"If Roosevelt's candidate Taft, or any other Roosevelt man is nominated for president, thousands of Negroes will not support him. There are 500,000 Negroes who will vote against his man for the election. In every state where they are numerous conventions will be held to defeat him. If such a man is nominated, I myself will take the stump for the democratic candidate. The Negro of the south is losing the ballot; he is suffering under the crowning outrage of the "Jim Crow" cars, and there is an effort on foot to destroy the school system of the south."—Rev. S. L.

"For as much as ye do to the least of these, ye do it unto Me.' Mrs. Lucy Mason, pres.; Mrs. Emma Missina, sec. Bill Crawford must not control the Afro-American political situation in Cleveland. The ministers have said it, and, to enforce their statement, they called at republican headquarters Monday to see Chairman Baker, Rev. Jos. S. Jackson, pastor of Mt. Zion Congregational church, was spokesman of the delegation of four. The pastors are afraid T. W. Fleming, who wants to be a candidate at large on the republican ticket, may be a Crawford man. They want to serve notice on the party that it cannot have the Afro-American tie for any man who is tied up to Crawford (This includes Councilman Hirstius). Incidentally they want the republican leaders to know that J. E. Reed would make a good candidate for councilman at large. Reed has been a councilman candidate at large and was defeated for the nomination. He is said to be backed politically by Hon. Harry C. Smith, of The Gazette, and Geo. A. Myers, proprietor of the Hollden barber shop. The pastors did not find Baker at headquarters and will try at some future time to eliminate Fleming.—Monday's Press.

For further information We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours With 'PORO' TRADE MARK (Registered) KINK·NE 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-iine 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-IINE 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-IINE 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, curses 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-IINE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-iine, 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-iine, price 35 cents, one cake of Kink-iine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 25 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

A Bronx man tells it about his little boy. The neighbor's young hopeful was very ill, and Willie and the other youngsters in the block had been asked not to make any noise in the streets. The neighbor's bell Fang one day and she opened It to find Willie standing bashfully on her front steps. “How fs he today?” he inquired in a shy whisper. “He's better, thank you, dear, and what a thoughtful child you are to come and ask.” Willie stood a moment on one foot and then burst forth again, “I'm orful sorry Jimmy's sick.” ‘The mother was profoundly touched. She could find no furthier words to say, but simply kissed him, Made still bolder by the caress, Willie began to back down the steps, repeating at in- tervals his sorrow for his playmate's fliness. At the bottom step he halted and looked up. “If Jimmy should die,” he asked, “kin I have his dram?” FOR SELFISH ENDS. The Efforts Being Made by the Amori- ‘can Medical Association. ‘The Political activity of the Ameri- ean Medical Association has become 50 pronounced as to caus2 comment in political eircies especially as the the avowed purpose of the Doctors of the “Regular” or Allopathic school, ot which the Association is chietly com: Posed, is to secure the passage of such Jaws ‘as will’ not only prevent the sale of so-called “Patent” medicines, but will restrict the practice of medi eine and healing to the “schools” now recognized. This in many states would prevent the growing practice of Os- teopathy, and in nearly every state would prevent the healers of the Christian Science and mental science belief from practicing those sciences in which the faith of so many intelli gent people is so firmly rooted. ‘The Ameriean Medical Association has a “Committee on Legislation,” and the committee has correspond- ents in practically every township — scme 16,000 correspondents in all, ‘This committee at the last session of the American Medical Association held in June of this year expressed a hope that a larger number of physi- clans than heretofore will offer them- selves as candidates for Congress at the first opportunity. In its annual roport this Committee said: “To meet the growing demands of the move- ment, however, particularly if the work of active participation in State legislation is undertaken, a larger clerical foree must be employed.” ‘This 1s almost the first time in the history of the United States that any organized class has frankly avowed the purpose of capturing legislatures and dominating legislation in their own selfish Interests. ‘The American Medical Association has about 65,000 members of whom 27,000 are “fully constituted _mem- ders" and the rest are members be- cause of their afiliation with state or Jocal societies. The Association owns real estate in Chicago valued at $111, 781.91 and its total assets are $291, 567.89. Its liabilities, at the time of the annual report which was made at the June meeting, amounted to only $21,908. The excess of assets over liabilities is increasing at the rate of about $30,000 a year, and the purpose of the organization is to dominate the field of medicine, and by erushing all competitions by securing the pas- sage of prohibitive legislation, compe all of the people of the United States to pay a doctor's foe every tlme the ST ee eee te ea Patron Saint of Lawyers. ‘This story is told at the expense of Francis H. T. Maxwell, a well-known lawyer. The members of the Taunton, Mass, Bar association thought they ought to have a patron saint, but after much wrangling they could not hit up- on any particular saint. Finally a committee, of which Mr. Maxwell was a member, was appotnt- ed to make a selection. They mude a trip to New York, and there visited & gallery where most of the saints were carved jn marble. It was decided to Jeave the selection to Mr. Maxwell and after making the rounds he placed his hand on one in a group of two. “This one will do,” he said. He had iis hand on the devil, whom St. Mi chael was driving before him. President Castro's Concelt, Many stories have been told of Cipriano Castro, president of Venezue- la, and of his monumental conceit.

Effect of Lightning on Air. ‘The slightly pungent odor notice. able in the air after a particularly close flash of lightning is not sulphur but ozone. Ozone as a modification of oxygen which contains three atoms of oxygen to the molecule, while or- dinary oxygen only contains two. One way of obtaining ozone is to subject oxygen or afr clectric discharges and the action that takes place when a flash of lightning passes through the air is exactly the same. The change from oxygen to ozone 1s nothing but the rearrangement of the atoms in the molecule; yet ozone has a number of properties which are absent in oxygen, due to the readiness with which it parts with Its extra atom of oxygen to combine with other sub- stances.

In the case of Dr. Wel- gel since 1904, when his right hand and all but the thumb and a finger of the left hand were removed, there had been four operations in trying to save his life.

One of the common symptoms of coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that spoil what should be restful sleep. A man who found the reason says: “Formerly I was a slave to coffee, I was like a morphine flend, could not steep at night, woud roll and toss in my bed and when { did get to sleep was disturbed by dreams aad hobgob- lins, would wake up with headaches and feel bad all day, so nervous I could not attend to business. My writ- Ing looked like bird tracks, I had sour belchings from the stomach, indiges- tion, heartburn and palpitation of the heart, constipation, irregularity of the Kidneys, ete. “Indeed, I began to feel I had all the troubles that human flesh could suffer, but when a friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as if he had insulted me. I could not bear the idea, it had such a hold on me and I refused to believe it the cause. “But it turned out that no advice was ever given at a more needed time for I finally consented to try Postum and witn the going of coffee and the com- ing of Postum all my troubles have gone and health has returned. I eat and sleep well new, nerves steadied down and I write a fair hand (as you can see), can attend to business again and rejoice that I am free from the monster coffee.” Ten days’ trial of Postum In place of coffee will bring sound, restful, re- freshing sleep. “There's a Reason.” Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs.

A Jndy who had recently moved to the suburbs was very fond of ker first beood of chickens. Going out one af- ternoon she left the houschold in charge of her eight-year-old tay. Bo- fore her return a thunderstorm came up. The youngster forgot the chicks during the storm, and was dismayed after it passed to find that halt of them had been drowned. Though fearing the wrath to come, hie thought Dest to makea clean breast of the calamity, rather than leave it to be discovered, “Mamma,” ho sald, contritely, when his mother had returned, “marama, six of the chickens are dead.” “Dead!” cried his mother. “Sixt How did they die?” ‘The boy saw his chance, “I think—I think they died happy,” he said.—Harper’s Weekly. WHAT THE WOMEN wore, Of Course the Story Teller Didn't Really Mean Juat That. A gentleman recently returned from that quiet little Maryland resort, Ocean City, has a tale to tell of con: ditions that are really sensational, And the worst of it was that he did not know they were sensational at all, He was out calling the other evening, and the conversation started with the shirtwalst’ man, who, the returned wanderer said, was to. be found in great quantities at the summer resort. ‘Then he told about the habit every- body down there had contracted of going without hats. This is the way he told it to an interested company: “You see everybody down there going about just the same. The men never wear coats; they go about in Just their shirts and trousers, and the ‘women are just like them.” An Inherited Tendency. A Cleveland society woman gave a party to nine friends of her young son, aged six. To add to the pleasure of the occasion she had the ices frozen in the form of a hen and ter chickens. Each child was allowed to select his chicken as it was served. Finally she came to the son of @ prominent poli- tielan, “Which chicky will you have, Ber- tle?” she asked. “If you please, Mrs. H., 1 think I'l take the mamma hen,” was the polite reply,—Lippincott’s, i a “Are you going to strike, ma?” asked the little boy, as he tremblingly gazed upon the uplifted shingle, “That's just what I'm going to do.” “Can't we arbitrate, ma, before you strike?” “Tam just going to arbitrate," she safd, as the shingle descended and raised a cloud of dust from the seat of a pair of pantaloons—"I am just going to arbitrate, my son, and this shingle is the board of arbitration.” Due Process of Law.
