THE HAT'S AND FROCKS A CHARMING-GOWN HAT OF CREAM STRAW One of the sign-posts on the autumn road points unmistakably to millinery made of tightly-stretched silk—and satin—broadly hemmed and trimmed at one side with a drooping feather of the starch or paradise persuasion. The shape of these shows a mushroom tendency, but bears a higher crown than the mushroom of yester year; and as a half-season fancy which shall fill the gap between straw and fur, I welcome it most cordially. And another attractive idea, which serves a like purpose, is the hat made of cretonne ribbon—a novel manufacture; soft of texture and patterned in subdued and delicate colors, this is to be found bordered or plainly edged with silk, and can be contrived into bows, which cover most elegantly any small closely-fitting shape. The best example I have seen was mounted on grey stain-saw bound with grey glace, and the cretonne ribbon was shown with a floral design in grey and mauve. All the newest and most attractive cloche hats show the high "flower-pot" crowns, and they are almost almira lined with satin taffetas or fine linen, the latter for hats of the purely "early morning" order. Notwithstanding the charms—and they are many—of the big cloche covered with delicate flowers there is an other genre of hat which is running it very close in the race for popular favor—and this is the moderately large cloche trimmed with many ear- Sabla Gawinpy Two of the Newest Hats. mous wings, the latter black or white. Nothing could be smarter or more suitable for the seaside than these hats trimmed with large wings. The hats themselves are invariably of the cloche shape, but not so large as the "flower-garden," the only trimming used, besides the immense wings, being a length of black ribbon laid flat round the rather high crown and crossed on the brim at the back. Burnt straw lends itself delightfully to do decorations of this kind, and the wings on such a hat may be all black with a black ribbon, or black and white wings mixed. On burnt straw the trimmings look more chic if all black. I think, especially when the hat is worn with a white embroidered linen or muslin dress. The wings in question are always laid right across the front of the crown of the hat, and allowed to jut out at either side. They make a most imposing trimming, and as many as six wings may be used—three on either side. A very favorite hat of the moment is the burnt chip cloche covered tightly with pure white linen and trimmed with large white wings. This is reversing the general order of things because, this season, every second cloach hat is lined with taffetas or some other firm material. The linen-covered straw hats are distinct novelties, and as such they are already suffering! A grievous sin it is to wear the bell-shaped hat high above a mass of hair, letting it hang down the nape of the neck, and covering its crown with upstanding flowers; few things are more hideous than the bell-shaped hat thus fixed, yet you may meet them by the dozens, and so popular is this method In Union There Is Strength. of raising the hat that stuffings of paper and pads of material are used to induce a hat to achieve and retain this totally false position. Last year the pads were worn under the front hair to induce it to roll upwards some four inches above the brow, but this year the practice is less common; let us hope next year it will have vanished altogether. I was ever an optimist, but I suffer acutely when I meet this coiffure in special evidence beneath an upraised "Bob" fringe is amongst the popular trimmings of the hour. It is made in silk, cotton and worsted, and is used to decorate silk, linen and cloth gowns, and seems to lend itself with special sympathy to the short loose coats and open sleeves which are just now our special delight. As trimming fringe shares with fillet net most of the dressmakers' attentions. The latter is adorned with heavy embroideries of floss silk or lines of silken braid, and it is to be found doing duty as sleeves, veats and skirt panels on dresses of volle and glace. A more inexpensive variety of the fillet net is patterned with dragons of no species recognized by even the most enlightened zoological society; and this is much in evidence in cream color inset in dresses of white linen. The eagle also spreads itself boldly upon insertions of fillet net, these being usually some four inches in width, and putting in their appearance upon skirts of linen, where they are bordered at the top and the bottom with a monster tuck; while the bodice of a fine linen-lawn exhibits a stripe of the lace down the center of its pinnafore front, lace again on the hem of the kimono-shaped sleeves. Of the making and wearing of white dresses there is no end. The white linen skirt, white fawn shirt and white lace coat form the costume, and the monster bell-shaped hat accompanies it covered with masses of flowers, or draped with a real lace veil with huge wings outspreading upon the crown. The white muslin frocks are more extravagant than ever; their embroideryes extending alike over bodice, sleeves and skirts, while their details of stitchery are marvels of execution—satin stitch, hem stitch and drawn stitch combining with the finest French knots and the most delicate weaving. Lawn dresses and pique dresses also show much elaboration of embroidery, but amongst the successes of simplicity are the frocks of spotted or striped cambrids and the frocks of hair-cord muslin, checked or striped. Jacob Bills on Contentment. Jacob Riis, at a convention of school-teachers at Atlantic City, described contentment. "There is too much contentment," he said. "Contentment is often a euphemism for conceit. It is through dissatisfaction and not through contentment with ourselves that we improve. "Every man is too apt to be contented—that is, to be conceited—to think himself about as fine, and strong, and good, and wise as any one in the world. "Even beggars! Why, I know a gentleman who, on being accosted by a beggar, said: "Why don't you go to work? Why do you waste your time begging? "The beggar drew himself up. "Did you ever beg? he said. "No, of course not," said the man. "Then,' said the beggar, 'you don't know what work is.'" Billy's Retort. The old gentleman had been waiting on the lower floor for several minutes and was very irritable. When the elevator car finally appeared he mopped his vermillion brow and shook his fist at the elevator boy. "How dare you keep me waiting!" he roared. "Don't you know I am the very deuce when irritated?" "No sir," laughed Billy. "In that case I don't think you can go up with me." "W-why not?" "Because I don't care about raising the deuce." And the car shot upward leaving the old gentleman dancing with rage. Different Terms. "He isn't in our social set any more." "So I understand." "Yes; he dropped out some time ago." "Indeed! He gave me to understand he had climbed out." CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1907. SCORES MR.TAFT And Lauds Senator Foraker, our Great Friend. RACE QUESTION! Washington C. H., O.—The following interview appeared in the Ohio State Register, a local daily paper, on August 23: "It does not make any difference how many republican committees, the state central and others, or how many conventions, state or otherwise, endorse the alleged candidacy for the presidency of Secretary Taft, the loyal colored people in particular, and the country in general, will not support the Taft candidacy and will not vote for him in event of his nomination—something no one familiar with the national political situation, except Taft shouters, look forward to." Thus spoke Hon. Harry C. Smith in referring to those 15 central committees elected to endorse the Taft candidacy, that was in the city and lectured at the A. M. E. church last evening on "The Black Battalion," was a deputy state oil inspector under Gov. Foraker years ago, and like all the rest of his people is an ardent admirer of the senior senator from Ohio. Thrice a member of the Ohio legislature from the city of Cleveland, Mr. Smith is chairman of the executive committee of the Ohio Air Force League, and has for 25 years edited and published the Cleveland Gazette, the organ of the colored people of the state of Ohio and surrounding country. In explanation of his statement relative to the Taft candidacy, he called attention to the "declaration of principles" and resolutions (published elsewhere in this paper), both of which are unanimously opposed to the state convention held by the Ohio colored people at Columbus on May 15, 1907. Continuing, Mr. Smith said the white people of the country do not realize the seriousness of the charge preferred against the colored people of the country through the Roosevelt-tarf discharge without honor of those who were killed in the war and C and D of the Twenty-fifth infantry, commonly known as "The Black Battalion," and therefore cannot appreciate the intense feeling against both the president and his secretary of war held by Afro-Americans generally. If the colored soldiers subject to army discipline and education for from three to 26 years, as was the case for the members of the "Black Battalion," he found the point where it is impossible for them to do as they were charged in the Brownsville riot; namely: Running amuck at midnight, indiscriminately shooting into houses and endangering the live of innocent women and children, what about all the colored people of the country who have been killed of such discipline, training and education? If senator Foraker, with the assistance of the committee on military affairs of the United States senate, had not secured an abundance of evidence (sworn testimony) of reputable witnesses, black and white, soldier and citizen, who have proved beyond all question or doubt the perfect innocence of the men charged with the Brownsville, Tex., crime, President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft would have in that case positive proof of their direct or indirect charge that the Afro-American is a criminal race. This was of far more importance than the country than merely the individual or collective interest of the shamely abused and mistreated soldiers of "The Black Battalion." There was and is absolutely no excuse for the president's hasty action in this matter, backed up ever since by Secretary Taft. As Senator Foraker well said, the article of senator Foraker would either in a civil court or court-martial. The articles of war which govern the army expressly state that this latter should have been the case. The president and secretary of war convicted "The Black Battalion" of a crime they never committed on experection testimony that has since valuated to them as truthful, and both continue to remain in their stubborn persistence to make a case against the soldiers, long after all possibility of so doing have vanished. The question now is whether the president and secretary of war are big enough men to acknowledge their almost inexcusable error or misuse of the amends for the same. While this may not at once restore President Roosevelt to the confidence and esteem of Afro-Americans generally, it will go a long way toward doing so. Secretary Taft's speech at Greensboro, N.C. last year condoning, if not endorsing dischisement of seven southern states which has robbed millions of dollars from the treasury, and the thousands of rights of suffrage guaranteed them by the fundamental law of the land, has simply closed the Afro-American's door to him, even if he out-Roosevelt Roosevelt in the Freeways matter does not do so. Since March 1 Mr. Smith has canvassed the state through in the interest of Senator Foraker, and has worked until spring if necessary. Like the rest of his people the country over, he is an ardent supporter of Senator Foraker for re-election to the United States senate and for the republican nomination next year for the presidency. J. T. OATNEIL. [From the Springfield (O.) News.] The Ner格斯 of Clark county will GAZETTE. support Foraker in the coming fight if they heed the words of Hon. Harry C. Smith, former member of the state legislature from Cleveland, and stand fast to their promises delivered at the meeting at the North Street A. M. E. church which Smith addressed on "The Brownville Riots." The speech of Smith proved to be an eulogy onoker and when Smith urged the colorado governor fast to the support of Foraker his wife greeted with cheers and to a man the audience promised to stand by the senator. Taft was branded as a man who favored the disfranchisement of the Negro and who in the case of the Brownville battalion "out Roosevelt Roosevelt himself." The sneaker began by pointing out the reason for the Negro soldier from the Revolution's presence time. He pointed out the fact that the Negro soldiers had stood fast at the contests at Fort Petersburg, and Sumter in the war of the Rebellion. He stated that in the Spanish-American war they had acquitted themselves with credit at all times and that he had his men into a trap, courageously to their rescue and added to sequestre "During the whole term of service, however, not one had been elevated to a position of an officer on the line on account of merit. All along the line race prejudice had stared them in the face and that the true foundation of the Brownville trouble. The reasons of the Brownville had protested against battalions to the city and once they were met with abuse and oppression. The color line was drawn more tightly and "Jim Crow" counts and "Jim Crow" bars were established upon the arrival of the battalion in the city. The soldiers resented this and finally they set an ex-soldier into a trap up in business just outside the city. This increased the anger of the local saloonists and shop keepers and they vowed to get rid of the objectionable store. On the afternoon of August 13, the mayor of the town told Major Penrose to get his soldiers out of town as there would be trouble. The major did this and all were in the fort outside the city. The affair was at once charged to the soldiers and the effort to prove them guilty began." The lecturer next took a swing at the Associated Press by saying that over committed by black reports of crimes exaggerated and in every case the colored race was given the worst of the bargain. He characterized the whole of the press report of the Brownville affair as a pack of malicious lies. In closing the speaker urged the colored men to support Foraker and turn against Taft. He said that Foraker was the angel of the colored and that he wanted to be of every black man in the state. He urged the Negroes of the city to get out and work for the senator against any other man the state could offer and when he called for a salute from the audience it was given with a will. A FINE CONCERT. Well-known Soloists Participate in a Gala Event—A "Home Week" Echo. Buffalo, N. Y. The concert and ball at Convention hall on the evening of the 5th attracted a large crowd of both classes of people, in spite of the inclement weather. Rev. J. E. Nash delivered the address of welcome and the evening's entertainment opened with the singing of the Gloria, from Mozart's twelfth mass, by St. Philip's church choir. Frank W. Scott, of Jamestown, an accomplished pianist, played "The Mald of Ganges and Pasquale." He was compelled to re-enter the orchestra. Mrs. Antoinette Davis, a soprano of the well received. Harry T. Burleigh, of New York city, sang selections from the prologue in "Pagliniac" and the "Toreador" song from "Carmen," captivating the audience. Other well-known musicians who assisted wage laborers in the city, Ky. Mune, Dorsa, of Harrisburg, vocal, and Miss Edith Jordan, pianist. The program was arranged by Mrs. W. H. Talbert, and her work in securing one of such exceptional merit entitles her to great credit. The programme ended with the singing of "The Mald of Ganges" and the choir of St. Philly's church. Dancing followed and luncheon was served during the intermissions. FROM THE PHILIPPINES Ornoc, Lytte, P. L, July 23, '07. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I was more than glad to hear from you and I see in your paper that you are kept busy. I want to congratulate all the Ohio Afro-American League clubs, and only wish I was there to become a teacher now and gave a swell ball on the "Fourth." Baseball is indulged in by principally all of the soldiers. The Fourth witnessed a lively game between Cos. A and C. Score, 7 to 1 in favor of Co. C. I saw where Misses Lottie B. Hargrave and Gretchen Blanchard finished Avery college, and extend congratulations to both. Smith and Hargrave I know Steubenville is proud of Miss Blanchard and will help encourage her. If the ladies will listen to Rev. J. W. Jeffreys they will always be on the road to success, because he is an able speaker and always encourages. My schoolmate, Charlie Hargrave, will congratulate you to congratulate you to see Sesol young ladies and gentlemen of the race come to the front, and I want them to know that I have not forgotten them. On my return to the States I will present them with a fine present in remembrance of old success. Success in old Ohio and Senator Foraker in new campaigning I have written to Steubenpool, East Liverpool, Wellsville and Cadiz and Wheeling. I enjoy reading The Ga zette, and will always find time to answer all letters that I receive. The Pulajane chief, Faustina, who has given the military so much trouble, has been captured and peace reigns on Lylee. I am truly glad to learn of the progress the race is making in the dear land. I am grateful to me and all, I remain. Yours truly. GEO. WHITE. Co. C, Twenty-fourth Inf. What Women Want in Men. It is so recently that women have been allowed to think, or expected to think, that it is not strange that they have not expressed themselves upon the question of what they want in men. They have been brought up on the philosophy, "Be good and you'll be married," and it has not been a question of what they like in men, but what men like in them, that counted or was important. There are many women, otherwise fairly sensible, who openly say they could not love a man who did not rule them. To say that every man, by virtue of his sex, is meant to be the master of some woman is utter folly. The need for a master is not a question of sex, but a question of the lack of moral or mental stamina in the individual. What do women want in men? There are women who prefer a man with the ability to earn a fortune rather than one who has inherited it. Being a good provider will sometimes cover a multitude of petty faults in the eyes of women obliged to account for every penny spent. Nor is generosity with money the only generosity. Women want from men what every normal human being craves—commendation and approval. Woman, normal and healthy, does not want or need a master. Outside of truthfulness, honor and courage in him, what she prizes above all things from him are kindness, generosity and sympathy.—Belle Squire in Delineator. Olean, N. Y., News.

In a recent review of the presidential situation, and particularly with reference to Secretary Taft's variable and odious treatment of the Negro soldiers at Brownsville, The New York Press warns its party that "in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois the Republican party would vote by the republican party would give all of those states to the democratic candidate." It adds, also, that "any democrat who carries New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana will be the next president of the United States as surely as the election is held." Such a condition as this stimulates democrats to nominate a candidate calculated to command the confidence of colored as well as white voters, one whose record is replete with the inspiration of victory instead of the depressions of defeat. Our Twenty-fifth Year While a little late, we congratulate Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette, on his papers' entrance into its twenty-fifth year. During the time he has been publishing The Gazette, we have never known its editor to consciously espouse a wrong cause, or engage in a content mess the occasion demanded. But once he has done so, a task he is a power to be reckoned with. Editor Smith has fought and won many battles for the race and humanity during his residence in Cleveland, and by his strict honesty he has earned the respect of friend and foe alike. No man in the city of Cleveland enjoys a greater degree of esteem than does Harry C. Smith, and he has been a foe allied there. May he and The Gazette enjoy many more years of happiness and prosperity is our wish—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. A New College President Lynchburg, Va.-At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Virginia Theological seminary and college, held here recently, Rev. C. H.

Cleveland, Saturday, Sept. 14, 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. Was Congressman Burton a leader in the Roosevelt-Taft movement in Ohio to eliminate Senator Foraker from public life because of his activity in the Brownsville matter? If he was the president's lieutenant in this movement, as he claimed to be, is he still? If he is, do you support or oppose Senator Foraker for his great work in behalf-of our outraged soldiers of "The Black Battalion," if you support Republican Candidate for Mayor Burton? These are a few pertinent questions we would like answered at an early date, because Mr. Burton as mayor of the city of Cleveland would be in far better position to injure Senator Foraker than he is at present—a member of congress. Read carefully the resolutions adopted by the state conference of Afro-Americans held in Columbus May 15 (published in our two-column Columbus letter elsewhere in this paper) and you will better understand our reason for asking the questions stated above. We commend both resolutions and questions to Mr. Burton particularly, and all of our people of this community, for careful consideration. CANDIDATE BURTON. On last Saturday republicans of the city of Cleveland nominated as their candidate for mayor Congressman Theodore B. Burton, the man who last year led the move to rest the state party organization from Senators Foraker and Dick and was defeated, and the man who up to date has led the Roosevelt movement in Ohio at least, in favor of Secretary Taft's candidacy for the presidency, and against Senator Foraker's return to the United States senate and probable candidacy for the republican nomination for the presidency. This is the general impression, and it will remain such until the Hon. Theodore E. Burton sees fit to place a different light upon it→if he can. The next mayor of Cleveland, if he be a republican, will control the largest delegation in the next republican state convention, and the largest delegation in the next assembly, elected next year. With this power he can insure Secretary Taft's candidacy, the endorsement of the next state republican convention and practically dictate its refusal to endorse Senator Foraker for re-election to the United States senate—if he wishes so to do. With the largest delegation in the next assembly, which will convene a year from this coming winter, and the assistance of a favorable state administration, this same republican mayor of Cleveland can name the person to be elected a member of the United States senate by that body, to succeed Senator Foraker. The above are facts that the friends of Senator Foraker in the city of Cleveland must recognize particularly at this time, because of Mr. Burton's candidacy for mayor. Without proper assurances from him that he - will favor, in event of his election, the reelection of Senator Foraker to the United States senate, should he desire it, and with matters standing as stated in the opening paragraph of this article, there can be no doubt that every vote cast for Mr. Burton in November will be one cast in favor of the elimination of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker from public life. Only positive assurances to the contrary from Candidate Burton can create other belief in the face of facts and conditions to which we have called attention. The whole matter in the light outlined above has been submitted to him. We are patiently awaiting his promised reply. Charles E. Ransom Deaz Columbus, O.-Charles E. Ransom, for years a prominent official of the Ohio Old Fellows, died recently leaving two sisters and three brothers (one, Prof. John Ransom, of Boston) to mourn his demise. As the result of an attack made on non-union car men by a crowd of strike sympathizers at San Francisco, five men were badly injured. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 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 supported 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 renominated in the next republican state convention. His suggestion is qright as far as it has reference to Messrs. Foraker and Harris, but no amount of suggestions from him or any one else will secure for Secretary Taft the endorsement and support of self and race respecting Afro-Americans, particularly of Ohio, and President Brownsville Texas Roosevelt and Secretary Disfranchisement Brownsville Taft, as well as Mr. Cox, might just as well know this now as later on. It will be easier to secure the united support of organized labor throughout the country for Taft than it will be to gain the favor for him of loyal Afro-Americans. THE TAFTS. The Taft family has never indicated any good interest in the Afro-American and does not now. Recently it was announced that "The Clansman," Tom Dixon the 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 is "The Clansman" was produced at the Cincinnati Grand Opera House and the minds of many thousands of persons, already too thoroughly saturated with prejudice and hatred of the Afro-American, were poisoned even more against our people, if such a thing be possible. No wonder the Afro-Americans of Dixon spoke out so strongly against the Taft candidacy and even those who are trying to promote it. With Brother Charles and abetting Tom Dixon's dirty work against the race with his informal play, "The Clansman," and Secretary Taft out-Roosevelt Roosevelt 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.

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: East Liverpool, London, Ravenna, Canton,ney, Gallipolis, Findlay, Delaware, Portsmouth, Washington C. H. Troy, Urbana, Sandusky, Cambridge, Hamilton, Willisville, Toledo, O.; Pittsburg, Allegheny, Oil City, Tigusville, Newcastle, Sewickley, Sharon, Pa.; Clarkburg, 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 the address of any good person or persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. 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. Col. Harry C. Smith, the valiant and veteran editor of the Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette, is publishing some red hot matter nowadays. He is delivering upper cuts and body blows upon the present administration, and particularly upon the rotund form of Secretary of War, Taft. Col. Smith is consistent and deepNOTE Foraker man, and will ascend to heaven or descend to hades with the political fortunes of the brave and fearless Foraker. In Ohio politics there is no room for conservatism. Every man there is a "radical," and Col. Harry C. Smith is the quintessence of radicalism is an able leader and the degree of Ohio and Arkansas hearty support. Col. Smith should be returned to the Ohio legislature for his days.—W. T. Menard, washington (D. D.) Correspondent, in the Pensacola (Fla.) Sentinel. If you owe the Gazette, pay it promptly and do not make it necessary for us to send the collector to you. It is pleasanter to all concerned. Scores Both Roosevelt and Taft! 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 made up as follows: Rev. J. M. Gilmore, chairman; Hon. Ron C. Smith, Cleveland; Hon. C. L. Maxwell, Xenia; Rev. E. C. L. Maxwell, Columbus; Walter W. Thomas, Columbus; Prof. W. S.邓顿, Clinton; Arthur J. Riggs, Springfield; Dr. W. G. Wren, Columbus; Dr. C. S. Chillcothe, and Rev. R. C. White, Chillcothe, and Rev. R. C. White, Taft did not escape criticism and was referred to as the instrument of the president. "Foraker first, last and all the time," and defiance of the man with the big stick, was declared to be 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. Dr. Talbert, of Wilberforce, was named for chairman by the editor of The Gazette, and Dr. Wren and Mr. Poston were secretary and assistant to the committee on resolutions were made; addresses were made by delegates and present. Among this number were: Rev. C. S. Williams, of Washington C. H.; Messis, Riggs, Smith, Talbert, Attorney N. B. Marshall, of Washington, D. C., and Ghlchrist Stewart, of 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 loyal 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 aligning our forces for a triumph and combining 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 to keep our forbears in servile bondage, they were glorious emblem of our country, the white 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 Sumner, 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, it called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that any of his relatives, had fought to dissolve the Union and against human freedom. "We are for Senator Foraker, for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, reelection to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life, whether his personal ambition may be what we believe in the inherent right of every American citizen to "stand pat" whenever any individual, class or organization of men seek to secure his elimination from public life, whether it be the president of the United States or his hero worshippers. "Having the most profound regard and veneration for the late Hon. 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 conditions and votes will bring about his defeat if nominated. We believe that the president 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 star chamber 'sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent. "Chesley D. ' hite, Steubenville, "J. M. Glumere, Cleveland, chairman "Walter S. Thomas, Columbus, secretary." The Resolutions. Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, secretary of war, is being announced as a probable candidate for the republican nomination next year for the presidency of the United States, and is being widely heralded, especially here in Ohio, as the one most eligible for that exalted honor and position, and Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, in his speeches at Greensboro, 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. W. H. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of 1906, colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville riot, 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 their guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore be it. Resolved, That we, as law-abiding American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. Wm. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1904, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and discipline, and his use of the without trial of 167 brave and meritorious soldiers, many of them grown gray in the service of their country, in Indian wars and the Spanish-American war, shows weakness and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conservatism and justice which should characterize an aspirant for the greatest honor of our party and nation. Furthermore, Be it resolved, that we call upon our 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. Smith, of Cleveland, was elected chairman of the state executive committee and head of the Ohio Afro-American league. Other members of the committee: Rev. J. M. Gilmere, Cleveland; Prof. W. P. Dabney, Cincinnati; A. J. Riggs, Springfield; Dr. W. G. Wren, Columbus; Rev. C. D. White, Steubenville; Rev. W. O. Harper, Dayton; Dr. S. S. Jordan, Chillicothe, and Hon. C. L. Maxwell, Xenia. State central committee: Walter S. Thomas, chairman; Rev E. L. Gilliam, of Columbus; J. S. Atwood, Ripley; Rev E. H. Hatcher, Dayton; (the four from the state at large) Rev T. W. Woodson, Dayton; J. E. Brown, Zanville; Rev Primus Alston, Limag; Rev M. M. Culpher, Mechanicsburg; Prof Horace Talbert, Wilberforce; Dr S. S. Clemens, Rev C. S. Williams, Washington C. H; Hon W. R. Stewart, Youngstown; A. G. Moore, Richard H. Jones, Akron; E. C. Berry, Athens; W. E. King, Columbus; Rev J. M. Gilmere, Cleveland; Dr C. Fish, Lorain; Rev W. W. Grimes, Sandusky.

Watson, Troy; Mr. Francis Poston, Dayton; L. O. Harris, Circleville; Dr T. W. Burton, Zanville, and others. All Foraker and other republican clubs and political organizations ambing our people in the state should affiliate with the Ohio Afro-American league. Read its "declaration of principles" and resolutions elsewhere in this paper and if they meet your approval, write to the editor of The Gazette, chairman of the executive committee and head of the league, and he will enroll your organization with those on the list. Let us work in union and harmony with an eye single to results of the kind desired and made plain in the state conference of our leading men of Ohio in Columbus on May 15. JOHN S.

The Washingtonites see in Burton's mayoralty candidacy the working out of his plan to become United States senator. If he can beat Mayor Tom he can control the republican machinery of northern Ohio, and can line up many votes for himself in the legislature. A victory for him would be a victory for the Roosevelt-Taft wing of the party, and Burton would also be in a better position to get the Ohio delegation for Taft—The Press. Mrs. Lucy R. James' suggestion, in a daily paper the first of the week, of a settlement house in the vicinity of the Alta house in the Italian country in the East End, is all right, provided she will eliminate the color feature of the same. If such a place is established, let it be, for all classes of people in the vicinity just like the Alta house, or only. Other classes of people draw more than enough color lines to satisfy us without suggestions from us for additional ones. Of course, if a settlement house, such as we indicate, was established in the vicinity of Cenat, we would bulk of its attendance would in all probability be made up from our people. This is another reason why there is no need of suggesting its establishment "for the colored people of that vicinity." Mrs. James is in the eminence of the Visiting Nurses' association. The mistakes made in the management of the J. E. Reed campaign for a republican nomination for councilman-at-large did not have material effect in bringing about his defeat, because "Boss" Bill Crawford practically deflated the nomination of Tom Fleming last Saturday. The delegation of the nomination met in Hon. John P. Green's office, and called upon Mr. Burton one day last week, Geo. A. Meyers being the spokesman, was given little or no encouragement by Mr. Burton, the only "ray of light" being an expression following a straight-from-the-shoulder look at a few people he said he thought our people of this community would be given representation on the ticket. It now transpires that he was wrong in this, because the nomination of Tom Fleming is representation for "Boss" Bill Crawford and not for our people of this community in a few years. Tom Fleming supported him as Candidate-for-the-Council Hubbell in the old 12th ward, and a year ago last fall opposed the candidacy for the legislature of the editor of The Gazette. Therefore Fleming is more democrat than republican by far, in spite of his protestations to the governor. He is only incompetent to act as a councilman because of lack of ability, etc., but also because he is hopelessly in the power and clutches of "Boss" Bill Crawford, whom all of the republicans of this community know too well for further comment. If any of the candidates who are relatively to him, they have only to ask members of the race who in years gone by have endeavored to purchase property from Crawford, and then call at The Gazette office.

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

Y., writes: "Peruna cured me in five weeks of catarh of the stomach, after suffering for four years and doctoring without effect. In common with other grateful ones who have been benefited by your discovery, I say, All hall to Peruna." Mr. H. J. Henneman, Oakland, Neb. writes: "I waited before writing to you about my sickness, catarh of the stomach, which I had over a year ago. "There were people who told me it would not stay cured, but I am sure that I am cured, for I do not feel any more ill effects, have a good appetite and am getting fat. So I am, and will say to all, I am cured for good. "I thank you for your kindness. "Peruna will be our house medicine hereafter." Catarh of the stomach is also known in common persia as dyspepsia, gastritis and indigestion. No medicine will be of any permanent benefit except it removes the catarhral condition. Miss Julia Butler, R. R. 4. Appleton, Wis., writes she has *at earl of* the stomach, causing loss of sleep and appetite, with frequent severe pains after eating, she took Pernusa, her appetite she took Pernusa, her appetite strength, flesh and perfect health. Why Advertising Pays. "You will be pressed for money offender because you have no advertising bills to pay than because you have," observes the Buffalo News. "Big advertising bills and big bank balances grow, together, out of the same publicity campaigns." The merchant who holds down his expense account by cutting out advertising saves money just the way the railroads would if they should stop buying coal for their locomotives. Without coal the wheels won't turn; without publicity trade comes to a standstill. It pays to throw silver out of the window that gold may come in at the door. Products of Top of Beat By experiments recently made at the Institute of Technology one ton of peat taken from a bog within 20 miles of Boston produced 100,000 feet of gas, 15 gallons of tar and five gallons of paraffin, and it is claimed from the six per cent. of ash innumerable by-products could be obtained.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1907. JUDGING FROM OWN CASE. Deacon Recognizes the Wants of a Fellow Sufferer. General Booth, the head of the Salvation Army, was discussing the anti-suicide bureau that his church has opened. "Kindness and charity," he said, "are factors of these bureau. The charity will be of the right kind. I trust. There are, you know, two kinds of charity, and too much of it is like the barber's. "There was a poor deacon in Warwick who had no money and needed to be shaved, and he went from barber to barber, but none of them, despite his holy office, was willing to shave him for nothing. "In the end, though, he found a barber who, on hearing his tale, said gruffly: "Sit down there in that chair." "Sit down there in that chair." "And this barber shaved him. But the razor he used! Dear me! Its dull edge and the nicks in it! Under the operation the tears flowed in rivulets down the poor deacon's cheeks. "Suddenly the barber's dog in the adjoining room set up a terrific howling. "Be still,there!' cried the barber. And he muttered anxiously: 'What can they be doing to him?' "Alas!' said the deacon, 'I shouldn't wonder if some one was shaving him out of charity.'" BRUTALITY OF MEDICAL ETHICS. A Great Surgeon Barred from Membership in Medical Association. (From the National Druggist for June, 1957.) Dr. Augustus Charles Bernays, who died a few days ago in St. Louis, was, probably, the foremost surgeon in the United States. His fame was co-extensive with the civilized world. He was not only an operator of the highest order, but a tireless and exhaustive worker in the field of original surgery. He performed the first successful Caesarian section in 1889 in St. Louis, and also the first successful coeliotomy for gunshot wound of the abdomen and the first gallstone operation in Missouri. A record held by Dr. Bernays has never been equaled: Out of eighty-one successive cases of appendicitis which necessitated operations, seventy-one in succession were with perfectly satisfactory results, the seventy-second patient failing of recovery, but the subsequent nine cases were successfully treated. And yet, with such a record, matchless as was his skill, varied and extensive as was his learning, wonderful as were his accomplishments, he was not considered, by the American Medical Association, as worthy of membership in that organization. No charges were ever brought against him which, in the remotest degree, reflected on his qualifications as a surgeon; his moral character was never the subject of attack; he was never accused of having done anything unbecoming a man or a gentleman. "The head and front of his offending had this extent—no more!" He dared to think! He refused to mold his opinions and to govern his actions by the arbitrary rules which those whom he knew to be his inferiors had set up for his guidance! Other words, he could not regard the Code of Ethics of the American Medical Association as being inspired, or having any binding authority on him where his judgment told him it was wrong. And so, twenty years ago or more, on account of some trivial infraction of this sacred "Code," a movement was started to expel him from the local association, which was only defeated by his hastily sending in his resignation. As membership in the A. M. A. is dependent upon membership in the local and State societies, his name was dropped by the national organization. And so, though he had saved thousands of lives; though other physicians had profited by his art; this brilliant surgeon; this great and able man, has, during all these years, been an outcast—a medical "scab;" not recognized as "ethical" or worthy of fellowship by that body of physicians banded together in the American Medical Association! And this is the association which, under pretense of working for the public good, is, in reality, only seeking to control Congress and the State legislatures in the interest of their own selfish schemes; which is trying to create a Cabinet position and to place one of its members in that position; which is endeavoring by law to exclude from the use of the mails, all manufacturers of medicines who do not comply with the absurd requirements that they choose to set up; which, in short, is trying to put upon the statute books of State and nation laws that will, in effect, establish a kind of medical priesthood, to which only their own members will be eligible with power and control over the health and lives of the people! God help the druggists, the drug manufacturers, physicians not members of their guild, and the people generally, if this association ever succeeds in its undertaking. If it does, it will, after the fashion of the labor unions, dictate a "closed shop," and say to doctors who prefer to be independent, "You must join our union or, failing to do so, compel them to get out of the business. It will say what medicines shall be taken, and how they shall be made. It will hedge the people about with a lot of petty regulations under pretense of protecting the public health. In fine, a medical bureaucracy will be established to tyrannize over the people. Let no man call this a false alarm. If there are those who are inclined to do so, let them read the journal of the A.

I tired easily, had no ambition and was falling fast. My complexion got yellow, and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there was sugar in the kidney secretions.

One Thing, at Least, the Mother Waa Positive About. The late Senator Platt of Connecticut enjoyed funny stories and could tell a good many himself. Notwithstanding his long public life, he always remembered a yarn that he carried from his school days. One year when the district schools opened in his town one of the teachers, in making a record of the ages of her pupils, as required by law, found that one little girl, who came from a family not noted for being especially bright, was unable to say when her birthday came. So in order to complete her records, the teacher walked two miles to see the girl's mother one afternoon after school. Asked if she could remember just when her daughter was born, the woman thought for some little time, and then with a sort of puzzled look, said: "Well, the gal was born in 'tater time, that's sure, but I can't 'member whether they was a-plantin' on 'em or a-diggin' on 'em." Tom Ochiltree's Moon. After Tom Ochiltree, that able congress raconteur and laugh generator for the afflicted rich, sotted in New York as the amuser of the John W. Mackay family, he effervesced in a thousand different directions, and was as good in some ways as Sam Ward. One night he escorted John Mackay's friend, the Count de Bliscow, down to the Battery to show the sight of New York. The moon was grand, and the count went into raptures as "her maiden reflection rippled over the pearly waters." He cried: "Eat it grand! Eat is grand! Dair is no such moon in all Italy!" "Count," said Ochiltree, solemnly, as befitted the occasion, "you just ought to see the moon in Texas!" A Pardonable Fault Dr. Edward Everett Hale, discussing a rather finicky attack that had been made on certain recent statements, smiled and said: "But who or what is blameless? It is like the case of the Scottish hen. An old Scottish woman wished to sell hen to a neighbor. "But tell me, the neighbor said, is she a thegither a guild bird? Has she got nae fauts, nae fauts at all?" "Awell, Margot, the other old woman admitted, she has got one aunt. She will lay on the Lord's day." A. Feine Bird. An Irishman who wasn't much of a hunter went out to hunt one day, and the first thing he saw to shoot at was a blue lay jitting saucily on the top of a fence. He blazed away at the bird and then walked over to pick it up. What he happened to find there was a dead frog, which he raised carefully at arm's length, looking at it with a puzzled air. Finally he remarked: "Well, begobus, but ye was a devil of a foine looking burd befur Ol blew her fithers off o'yers!"—Judge's Library. Tripped. Gunner—So you think the DeBlowers are faking about their extended European tour? Guyer—I should say so. They said there were so many Americans in Venice that many had to walk in the middle of the street. Gunner—Well? Guyer—Why, the streets of Venice are canals. FAMILY FOOD. Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No Cooking. A little boy down in N. C. asked his mother to write an account of how Grape-Nuts food had helped their family. She says Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention on a visit to Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor of that city who was using the food by the advice of his physician. She says: "They derive so much good from it that they never pass a day without using it. While I was there I used the Food regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and felt so well that when I returned home I began using Grape-Nuts in our family regularly. "My little 18 months old baby shortly after being weaned was very ill with dyspepsia and teething. She was sick nine weeks and we tried everything. She became so emaciated that it was painful to handle her and we thought we were going to lose her. One day a happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm milk. "Well, it worked like a charm and she began taking it regularly and improvement set in at once. She is now getting well and round and fat as fast as possible on Grape-Nuts. "Sometimes ago several of the family were stricken with LaGrippie at the same time, and during the worst stages we could not relish anything in the shape of food but Grape-Nuts and oranges, everything else nauseated us. "We all appreciate what your faux food has done for our family." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville." in pigs. TOLD HIM THE TRUTH. Dad's Indignation Got the Better of His Judgment. An old German farmer, who resided in one of the rural districts of the state of Iowa, was the father of a half-witted boy, whose lack of intellect was the cause of no little anxiety and solicitude on the part of the paternal parent: "Dot poy Shon," he was heard to remark in the course of a conversation with a neighbor of like Teutonic origin, "he iss not ferry bright, aber I can't want you to tell him, because I can't want him to know it." Meanwhile the young hopeful was driving through the barnyard with a load of hay, which 'in' attempting to turn a sharp corner he unfortunately upset. The old man immediately became highly indignant. "Shon!" he followed in a voice of thunder, "you iss a plame fool, you always vass a fool, you always vill pe a fool, you not know noddings."—Judge's Library. JUST A GENTLE HINT. One Remedy Appearances Indicated Nobleman Had Never Tried. the earl of Surrey, afterward eleventh duke of Norfolk, who was a notorious gourmand and hard drinker and a leading member of the Beefsteak club, was so far from cleanly in his person that his servants used to avail themselves of his fits of drunkenness—which were pretty frequent, by the way—for the purpose of washing him. On these occasions they stripped him as they would a corpse and performed the needful ablutions. He was equally notorious for his horror of clean linen. One day, on his complaining to Dudley North at his club that he had become a perfect martyr to rheumatism and tried every possible remedy without success, the latter wittily replied: "Pray, my lord, did you ever try a clean shirt?" IN THE SUPERLATIVE DEGREE. Little Son's Explanation Seemed to Cover the Case. Little son, aged seven, whose training has been of the most painstaking and conscientious, rather took away his mother's breath in describing the dog's game of ball. He ended with: "And, mother, Topsy caught the ball in her mouth, and then just ran like h—" "Like what?" cried the startled mother. "Wy, like h—, don't you know, mother?" innocently. "No, I don't believe I do. Just how is that, dear?" she asked faintly. "Well, I don't know jus' what it means, myself," he confessed, "but it's a whole lot faster than 'lickety-split!'" CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH. Suffered Three Years—Hands and Eye Most Affected—Now Well and Is Grateful to Cuticura. "My wife was taken badly with eczema for three years, and she employed a doctor with no effect at all until she employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly, but it did her a sight of good. Then we used the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is entirely recovered. She thanks Cuticura very much and will recommend it highly in our locality and in every nook and corner of our parish. I. M. Robert, Hydropolis, La., Jan. 5 and Sept. 1, 1906." A Hopeless Case. "Yes," said the business man, "I have given up trying to collect that little bill from Bilkins. You see, he is a big, muscular fellow, and he used to throw my collectors out." "Then why didn't you employ a woman collector?" inquired a writer in Spare Moments. "He couldn't do that to a woman." "That's what I thought, so I got one and sent her round, but she never came back." "Why not?" "He married her." NEW HOMES IN THE WEST.
