THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 8. For the OUT-OF-DOORS GIRL THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY After the heat of midsummer nature offers special inducements to the athletic girl, and for such we offer the above suggestions in dress. The first gown is of brown and white check with buff revers, and black velvet collar, and is crowned with a hat of manilla turned up with black, and trimmed with black, and the coat has pipings of buff and buttons of gold, and beneath it should be worn any sort of simple shirt, either of lawn, of tucked white crepe de chine, or of Shantung. The great essential to the success of this costume is its absolute IRLS find it an easy task to look nice in the summer time. The simplest white dress made of cambric, with a tucked skirt and a bloused bodice, will bear, if the waist be trim and the belt neatly adjusted, under the influence of a good hat and a colored chiffon scarf round the shoulders, an aspect not unworthy of a cos- IRLS find it an easy task to look nice in the summer time. The simplest white dress made of cambric, with a tucked skirt and a bloused bodice, will bear, if the waist be trim and the belt neatly adjusted, under the influence of a good hat and a colored chiffon scarf round the shoulders, an aspect not unworthy of a cos- tune from one of the best artists. Yet again I quote from a personal encounter, and tell of a dress of white linen with the skirt trimmed with three broad crossway bands, the bodice cut with very large armholes over an under-bodice of tucked lawn, and round the shoulders a loosely hanging scarf of light Wedgwood blue, and on the head a Tuscan hat, lined with black, the front one mass of roses shading from red to pink, and round the neck a string of pale pink coral beads. I like colored beads with muslin or linen frocks; and, talking of linen frocks, I am reminded of several other cheap effects. Green and white striped cambric made in the very simplest of styles, with a shirt-bodice, long sleeves, and a turned-down white linen collar tied with a little green bow, belted at the waist with a green patent leather band, and crowned with a green straw hat trimmed merely with a huge green glace bow. The latest news of hatpins I have received relates of closely-jewelled knobs of monster size, while the pear-shaped tortoiseshell pins are still popular, plain and engraved with gold. Feathers are growing wilder and wilder, and their prices higher and higher. Had I to invest large sums in this direction I would advise the ostrich as being the safest bird. The plumes of the ostrich are perennially in fashion, and a really good ostrich feather will in time play many parts; and, by the way, I continue to admire those ostrich feathers which are arranged to fall in fountain fashion, while I persist in my dislike of the skeleton kind which seems but to be endeavoring to emulate the ostrich feather after a good shower of rain, and to lack the least hankering after the beautiful. The elbow-length sleeve is undoubtedly booked to go, and the new sleeves will come to the hands if not to the knuckles. But whether the short sleeve will go is another matter. The creators of fashions have enacted many decrees that have been willfully disobeyed. One of them was the death of the short skirt; another the disappearance of the shirt waist, or blouse, In Union There is Strength. simplicity. But, by the way, the very simple shirt is not having things all its own way, for few are guiltless of the center double frill. This frill is shown decorating with great success the other dress illustrated. The waistcoat is of patterned crestone, the coat and skirt of purple cloth, and the hat is also of purple, with a waving plume which extends its influence from front to back. A smart little costume this altogether, with lines of fanciful braid decorating the skirt and coat, and putting in their appearance again on the cuffs. as it was more euphoniously named, and a third was the attempt to introduce crinoline or hoops. All of these, and many other enactments, were null and void. In these days women show more sense than in the past in the matter of gowning, and a sensible and at the Charming Linen Bolero Skirt. same time comfortable fashion is quite sure of a follow-up at all times by the masses of women, including many of the modish world. These fashion need not always be becoming to insure their life. The short skirt is not nearly so graceful as the long one, but even for the street the skirt escaping the pavement by an inch is seldom seen save on women who no longer pretend to be below middle age. The skirt varying from three inches to five and even six is seen everywhere, and its weaker may be 18 or 48, fat or thin, tall or short. She means to be comfortable, and the men applaud her for her, for, after all, men like sense. The blouse is also with us to stay. It is inseparable from the coat and skirt costume, whether long or short, elaborate or simple. As for the short sleeves, it must be confessed they are very trying to the majority, whose bones are all too prominent, and whose hands seem disproportionately large. But they are cool and comfortable and under trying conditions a lingerie blouse that would be soiled in an hour's wear, emerges fresh and spotless as to its sleeves after a day's shopping. In any event, the woman with the dainty hand and rounded arm should never relinquish the elbow sleeves wherever and whenever they may properly be worn. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1907. A BITTER ENEMY! Of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker at President Roosevelt's Behest. Special to The Gazette Special to The Gazette. Washington, D. C.-Colored men of Cleveland, the issue is before you. What are you going to do about it? This is the subject that is attracting the attention of those residing at the capital of the nation, and its many visitors, resultant from the announcement that Congressman Theodore E. Burton is to battle for the office of mayor of the city of Cleveland as a stepping stone to a seat in the U. S. senate, vice Joseph Benson Foraker. The issue is one that the colored man is, or ought to be, more interested in than any since emancipation, as the result of it has to do with the political fortunes of the grandest and greatest man in public life today. The Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, as a result of his election to a seat in the United States senate by the people of Ohio, conceived the idea that he was to be a senator from a sovereign state; that he was to do his own thinking, and that HIS oath of office carried with it the duty of seeing that every citizen of the United States should receive the guarantees of the constitution. With these ideas in his mind he had the "audacity" to ask that a certain number of Negro soldiers, whom the president thought to be friendless, be given an opportunity to be heard in open court, and to have their accusers testify under oath, and to be questioned. FOR THIS HUMANE ACT, and this act alone, the president has decided that Mr. Foraker must be politically assassinated and has chosen Mr. Taft and Mr. Burton to commit the deed. With Mr. Burton as mayor of Cleveland he will control the largest delegation in the next state convention; in the next assembly he will be equally as potent, and it requires no wisdom to understand against whom these influences will be hurled. Mr. Burton is unqualifiedly opposed to our friend, Senator Foraker, and no promises or pledges that he or his managers may make should have any weight with Afro-Americans. Colored men of Cleveland, the eyes of the thinking men of the whole country are upon you and the enemies of our people are anxiously waiting to see if there is one colored man in your city so lost to all sense of honor; so lost to all sense of race pride; so lacking in that grand quality, GRATI-TUDE, as to vote for an enemy of our only friend in congress--Senator Foraker. the president, Mr. Taft and Mr. Burton may be able to buy enough democratic votes to accomplish their dastardly scheme, but let it not be said that the outrage was accomplished by the aid of any Judas among our people. Mr. Foraker, when he looks into the face of a colored man, believes that he is looking into the face of a loyal friend; a friend in whom he can place his trust, and rest in peace, knowing that his interests will be sacredly guarded. He has a right to this belief, this faith. Is there a colored man in Cleveland so base as to betray this faith? GOD GRANT THAT THERE IS NOT, is my earnest prayer. K. P. SUPREME SESSION Ohio Has Best Drilled Companies— Won First and Second Prizes— The Order Growing—Great Camp. Louisville, Ky.—The K. P. Supreme Lodge session, which convened here September 2 to 7, was the largest in its history. Supreme Chancellor G. W. Starks, of West Virginia, reported 108,000 members. Ed Watson's comment on the progressive Negro was very complimentary and Prof. B. T. Washington delivered a very interest- ing speech, which was the feature of the session under the Gen. R. R. Jackson, of Chicago. There were 3,000 uniformed men and brass bands. The dress parade was attended by thousands of people. To see the different states march was a grand sight, as usual. Ohio "taking the cake" at the peak of the brigade. Gen. Boland with tall staff was rewarded by the large crowd with a great tion. The prize drill was a great event. Ohio still leads the world in having the best drilled companies. Columbus, under command of Capt. Woods, won the first prize; Cincinnati, under command of Capt. S. T. Sneed, second prize.

TAFT AN ENEMY Of the Race—He Shows His Sympathy Is With the Prejudiced White South. Cambridge, O.-The following is from the Jeffersonian, a local daily paper, of August 17, 1997: "Quite a large and enthusiastic audience greeted Hen, Harry C. Smith at the A. M. E. church Monday night, and his lecture, "The Black Battalion," was very interesting. He began with Crispau Atticks, the first marryt, prior to the American Revolution, and traced the Afro-American soldier through all the wars in which this nation has participated, reaching the elimax at San Juan hill and his crisis in the Brownville incident. Mr. Smith is an editor, and in his lecture endevoured to taboos, but in his discussion of the "Brownville" battle, he applauded by the president and Secretary Taft's Tuskegee and Greensboro (N. C.) speech (in which he condoned the disfranchisement of the Negro voter), vowing that he would permit his right arm to be severed before he would vote for either Roosevelt or Taft, until they changed their attitude to people. This persecution was vofferedly aplained by the large audience. Hon. Mr. Smith is a former state legislator, having several terms from Cuyahoga county. He is the author of Ohio's anti-lynching bill and was associated with the late Bishop Arnett of the A. M. E. church (representative from Green county) in abolishing Ohio's "black" slave in return to his home at Cleveland freeway duties as editor of The Gazette, which is one of the greatest race papers in the country."

WORTH $500,000. Interesting Business Careers of M. H Cross, His Father and One Son. Brownsville, Tex.-M. H. Cross, who makes his home just across the Ric Grande in Matamoras, Mexico, is worth more than $500,000 and is look ed upon as one of the shrewdest and best business men in northern Mexico. He has conducted a branch establishment in Brownsville for a number of years and has the respect and confidence of the leading business men of both Brownsville and Matamoras. Cross is about 55 years old. He was born in Matamoras and his father U. S. Cross, went to Matamoras from Mississippi several years before the civil war. He at first engaged in farming, and then opened a small store. He built up a good jobbing trade, and when the civil war broke out he was in a position to conduct an enormous business between the United States and Mexico. He made large profits and acquired a big fortune. He continued to work close of the war, extending his trade through all northern Mexico and into Texas. He gave his son, the present business man of Matamoras and Brownville, the best education that money could afford. He sent him to one of the best eastern colleges, where he took a full graduating course. Upon his son's return from college he was in full partnership in business with the firm for a few years ago. The business passed to his son, who has managed it so successfully that it has increased enormously in volume. M. H. Cross has a family of children. He has educated all of them at the best schools and colleges available to Afro-American children in this country. One of his sons is located at gravescapes Mexico where he is in charge of a large branch house of his father's business. Cross's wife is a Mexican woman, and the children show no noticeable trace of the Negro blood that is in their veins. Cross lives in quiet but sumptuous style. His residence is the finest house in Matamoras. It is elegantly furnished and the white people have been always of the most harmonious character. But when it comes to business dealings he knows no race or color. He has proved himself able to cope with the best of the white business men in Mexico and along the Texas border. He stands at the top in business circles throughout the lower Rio Grande border. He has established that have been firmly established these many years. In his personality Cross is modest and unassuming. STOLE $107.000! Infaunted Defauter, Caught as He Hesitated. He was called— Hesitates—His Negro Charmer! Senator Foraker Endorsed St. Louis, Mo.—The Antioch Baptist association, which recently held its session in this city, sent the following letter to Senator Foraker: To the Hon. Jos. B. Foraker, U. S. Senate, Mr. Sir: The Antioch Baptist association, and its session in St. Louis, unanimously decided to express in this way their gratitude to you for your splendid defense of our Negro soldiers. You have at great cost to yourself practically proven their innocence of the shooting at Brownsville. In your contention you have placed bold charges against you have placed all good, true Amor in your debt. You have done much for the cause of justice and equal rights. We devouly pray that Christ, whom we serve, may strengthen you for the great battle of constitutional liberty now beginning and that many others will be strengthened and courage undaunted, may come to the front at this critical hour of drift in the republic's history. We are with greatest respect. "REV. DAVID JOHNSON, Moderator. "REV. R. H. COLE, Clerk." Chaplain W. T. Anderson Promoteed. Washington, D. C.—The war department has promoted Capt. W. T.

Burton for Bur- nard, for Mayor of Cleveland. Chillicothe, O, Sept. 14, 1997—Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette—My Dear Sir: Your kind letter of the 11th together with copies of the Gazette of August 17, September 7 and 14 received. I am very much obliged to you for them. The questions propounded to Candidate Burton are pointed, and acquire a direct answer. He either has to stultify himself or alternately prevaricate. His recordaker is so pronounced. So Senator is so pronounced, so glaring and so bitter that any promised change, at this time, would have but little weight with me. Do not be fooled by false promises. To my mind, there is but one course clear; HIS DEFEAT! As mayor, he would possess a hundred times as much power and influence as now, and in my humble opinion, would use said power against Senator as now, and in the sum rises tomorrow. I have no such promises in the face of his past record. I would take no chances on him and whoever does so will be deceived thereby. He is but a tool in the hands of our enemy and will obey their command. Wishing you success and hoping to hear from you soon, I remain, your friend. Saved Twelve Lives New York City.--Sylvester Cannon, a giant Negro, standing six feet three inches, proved himself a hero on the 3d by risking his life to save 12 laborers from death in the big sewer that is being constructed under 46th street to the East river. Cannon is foreman of a gang of workmen. One of his workmen undered unconscious by the poisonous dynamite and sewer gas while working 50 feet under ground. The other laborers became panic stricken and tried to flee to the surface, but Cannon barred the way and with his fists beat the men until they returned to where their unconscious comrades lay. Then Cannon compelled the laborers to carry the unconscious men to shaft No. 2, where they were taken to the warehouse in a jail basket. Two of the laborers were so seriously poisoned that they were taken to Flower hospital. Cannon remained in the sewer so long that he collapsed, but was received. Want Carnegie Medal for Him!

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 We congratulate the Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate, one of our best papers, on its successful entrance upon its seventh year of existence, and wish it much longer life and even greater success. Someone ought to assure President Roosevelt that the great mass of Cleveland Afro-Americans do not barter their votes and that the few political crumbs from the presidential "pile counter" being given Clevelanders these days will have positively no influence upon their conduct or lack of action during the present local campaign and especially on election day in November. We are for Foraker first, last and all time! REMEMBER THAT --- The attempt of the subsidized Taft press and democratic papers of Ohio to make it appear that Columbus Afro-Americans did not stand by Senator Foraker because Gen. Axline, the "Foraker" candidate for the republican nomination for mayor there, was not nominated at the recent primaries, will fail, because it is a well known and generally acknowledged fact that the leaders (white) were not a unit for the general and contended among themselves over the Axline candidacy. About two weeks ago (as soon as he was assured of Mr. Burton's nomination) Senator Foraker magnanimously offered, in an interview in local and other daily papers throughout the state and country, to help him. How did Mr. Burton receive the senator's good republican proffer? IGNORED IT! Does that show the proper spirit? Does it not indicate the fact that he is trying to be elected mayor of Cleveland for the purpose of carrying out his threat of last year, to help eliminate Senators Foraker and Dick, so he can succeed the latter and Congressman Longworth, of Cincinnati, the president's son-in-law, can succeed the former? 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. ROOSEVELT'S LETTER TO BURTON. President Roosevelt, in his letter of August 30, 1907, to Congressman Burton, wrote: "My dear Mr. Burton; * * * It is exceedingly desirable that you should win out as mayor of Cleveland. * * * I feel that it is of the utmost importance to have a man of your experience, power and character, of your long training, theoretical and practical in public life, take such a position as that of mayor of Cleveland." Of course; because the republican mayor of the largest city in the state of Ohio would be the most powerful factor in the next state convention and in the state assembly to be elected next fall, as the result of his having the control of the largest delegation in both bodies. The convention will endorse Taft or Foraker for the republican presidential nomination, and endorse the latter for re-election to the United States senate or refuse to do so. The assembly referred to will have to re-elect Senator Foraker or elect someone else to succeed him as a member of the United States Senate. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 1907. These are the reasons why President Roosevelt feels "that it is exceedingly desirable, and that it is of the utmost importance that Burton should win out as mayor of Cleveland," and that his son-in-law, Congressman Nicholas Longworth, or some other Taft republican in Cincinnati, should do the same thing in that city, in November. It is all the part of a well-laid plan to eliminate the Senator Foraker from public life. The president, Secretary Taft and Congressman Burton, as well as the rest of the Taft forces in the state, have been prompt to realize the fact that since his return to the state after the adjournment of congress, Senator Foraker has won the great mass of republicans to his side of the controversy, injected by the Taft forces, by a series of public addresses throughout the state which he is continuing at the request of various pioneer associations, Chauauquas and other regularly organized Ohio bodies. Even the Taft subsized press of the state was prompt to see that other measures than those used to date must be adopted by the Taft forces throughout Ohio, if Senator Foraker and his friends were to be beaten. Therefore, this effort of the president and his following in at least the two largest cities of the state, to elect leaders in the Taft movement in Ohio, mayors of the Cleveland and Cincinnati, that the state's two largest cities. It would be a very easy matter, as we have already said, for staff officials, with assistance from other parts of the state, to control the state assembly to be elected next year. Great is this newest scheme of the president and his Taft forces in Ohio. It will not succeed any more than the others have. This latest (mayoralty) move is public admission of the utter failure of their attempts to date to eliminate from public life our only outspoken friend in congress, the admittedly ablest man in many respects in the United States senate, the only statesman who has had the temerity to publicly, successfully and rightfully oppose the president (in the Brownsville and statehood matters) and virtually "skin" him in an unexpected and enforced debate at the now famous Gridiron dinner—namely, the senior senator from Ohio. More power to him! We very much fear that the president's interference in local matters in the two largest cities in the state of Ohio will result in the election of democratic mayors, unless Cincinnati will be successful in its effort to throw off the Roosevelt incubus which unfortunately seems to have been loaded upon Cleveland in the anti-Foraker and pro-Taft candidacy of Congressman Burton. CANDIDATE BURTON. Recently, republicans of the city of Cleveland nominated as their candidate for mayor, Congressman Theodore E. Burton, the man who last year led the move to wrest 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. 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 corrugate 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. Business failures in the United States for the week ending September 12 number 172, against 164 in the same week of 1906. 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 will secure for Secretary Taft the endorsement and support of self and race respecting Afro-Americans, particularly of Ohio, and President Brownville Tex. as Roosevelt and Secretary Disfranchisement Brownville Taft, as well as Mr. Cox, might just as well know as now later as 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 is "The Clansman" was produced at the Cincinnati Grand Opera House and the minds of many thousands of persons, already too thoroughly saturated with prejudice and hatred of the Afro-American, were poisoned even more against our people, if such a thing be possible. No wonder the Afro-Americans of Ohio spoke out so strongly against the Afro-American candidate among those who are trying to win. With Brother Taft against 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 Brownville, Texas, riot crime upon "The Black Battalion," it is high time for others of our people beside those who live in Ohio to get busy along the same resolution line.

AS TO BURTON'S CANDIDACY. We would ask why does the congressman retain his seat in congress? It has already been stated that for love, he will be a candidate for Senate. Fororake the seat in the senate. Can the colored man in Cleveland support Burton, who is after the seat of our best friend in the senate? The answer is well known: Absolutely No!-Buffalo (N. Y.) Gazetteer and Guide. Messrs. Burton, Taft and Roosevelt have lots of trouble coming in Cleveland. Burton, so much opposed to a slate and machine politics in the past, is now an ardent artist. However, he placed the wrong colored man on the ticket according to the "dope" Cleveland. How fortunate Burton for him, he was a president behind him. How unfortunate for the president after the ides of November that he had a congressman in front of him- Cincinnati (O. U.) Union. The Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer writing on September 14 on the Columbus primaries and the few Afro-Americans who deserted the Foraker forces and joined that of the enemy's (the Taft forces), to the main subject for reflection is this: Will collapse as non-dependable elsewhere in Ohio as some of them were in Columbus? In Cleveland some colored voters have endorsed Congressman Burton for mayor, even though it is understood that the candidate seeks to fill Foraker's place in national affairs. Former Representative H. T. Eubanks and former Senator John P. Green, who represented a storm of protest against the Taft engration, were present and took part. There is at least one answer to the query." Dirty Politics: the plan of President Roosevelt to pit Congressman Burton against Tom Johnson for mayor or of Cleveland, Ohio, is indeed very significant. The trick, as we see it, is to place Mr. Foraker between the devil and the deep sea. By this we mean that he must, as they see it through their political glasses, support Burton or Johnson. If it be Burton, that will help Teddy, or if Johnson, hurt Foraker. Foraker is big enough to let them fight out their old man and womans out about as the old man and womans out about key did; or to be still plainer, when they get through. Foraker will have them in as bad a plight as he has Teddy, Taft, Lodge and others in that "shoot up" of Brownsville—Martinsburg (W. W.) Pioneer Press. Congressman Theodore E. Burton, confessed, at the behest of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, has decided to become a candidate for mayor of the city of Cleveland, Ohio. In this he proposes to defeat Tom Johnson, get control of that end of the state and deliver the same to Secretary Taft and help eliminate Senator Roosevelt to the work for your fight, it is stated, he proposes using the influence of the president to determine a municipal issue. It remains to be seen whether or not the people of Ohio will meekly submit to this unprecedented "executive manipulation." is every man doing his duty in behalf of Senator Foraker, of Ohio? Now is has been a long time since we had a man in public life to speak out for the rights of humble humanity. And now that such a blessing has come, let us not be ungrateful to the agency that brought it. Senator Foraker to his towers, like a god above his fellows and his speeches in behalf of the Negroes of this land are the sweetest music we have ever heard. Is there a man who efforts Senator Foraker is making for mankind?—Washington (D. C.) Record. The president, with his usual zeal to enter where he has not been bidden, has insisted that Theodore E. Burton should accept the plebean candidate for mayor of the city of Cleveland to displace Thomas L. Johnson, the present mayor and the prospective nominee on the democratic ticket for that office. None but the mayor of Cleveland have conceive a better plan, or one that would be fraught with greater results. With his great activity, he is not willing to wait until next spring to find out his strength, or that of his friend Taft in Ohio. At the same time he sees an opportunity to insert his political knife into the vital of Sen. Burton, who has had he have incurred his bitter animosity; the former especially, the one from his fearless attitude, he fears the most, and the one he hopes to drive from the field of politics. It seems for these ends he has fortunately for himself selected Theodore E. Burton to unfurl the Rooseveltian flag, so that the people of northern California could have incurred it, especially, might know that he is the Roosevelt standard bearer, who from now on, will dispense the administration patronage, instead of the senators. By this means Mr. Roosevelt hopes to help the Hon. T. E. Burton. We are glad that Mr. Roosevelt has entered this contest, as it will give to the Afro-American unity of showing their dislike for him, and repain him in kind for the many insults he has heaped upon their race. They should remember the Brownville incident, and a defeat of Mr. Burton would be the best evidence the colored voters of Ohio could give to the president. Afro-American overtime throughout the country will do later. Now is the time, ye men of Cleveland, to do your duty—Philadelphia (Pa.) Weekly Tribune. "A Very Appropriate Gift!" Oyster Bay, X. Y.-Secretary Loeb has an elephant's tail on his hands, Hom, Ernest Lyons, U. S. minister to Liberia, is the donor, and sent it to President Roosevelt. He explains that no one but a person in authority is allowed to use an elephant's tail. The present is about a foot and a half leg, supplied with a black bristly brush at one end and a neat leather handle at the other. Rev. Lyons, a former A. M. E. minister, a loyal Afro-American, doubtless was thinking of the Brownsville affair when he sent the tail. 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 parallels the recent attacks in the retaliary of War Taft. Col. Smith is a consistent and deep rooted 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 doubt that he is a "radical," and Col. Harry C. Smith is the quintessence of radicalism. He is an able leader and the Negroes of Ohio are giving him their hearty support. Col. Smith should be returned to the office of the secretary of the days. W. T. Harding, Washington (D. C.) Correspondent in the Pennsaukee (Fla.) Sentinel. JUST BY THE WAY.

Benson Bidwell, president of the Bidwell Electric Co., of Chicago, has been held to the grand jury in bonds of $75,500 on a charge of embezzlement. A case of lockjaw has been curbed by the doctors of the Williamsburg, N. Y., hospital. There are, it is said, only two other similar cases on record. President Fallieres has commuted to life imprisonment the sentence of death passed on Solellant, whose murder of a girl in Paris excited the horror of France. As a result of strikes in several buildings 400 leading manufacturers of tur in New York have decided to lock out their employees. The lockout will affect 7,000 men. Walter Scott, a printing press manufacturer, is dead at his home in Plainfield, N. J. He was largely instrumental in perfecting the color press.

Slow work and unexpected delays will prevent opening the northern division of the Ohio canal to navigation before the fall of 1908. This is a year later than anticipated.

The Washingtonites see in Burton's mayoralty canidacy 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.

His name is Rube Foster and he is a member of the Leland organization, Chicago-based organization of colored ball tossers the world. Foster stands six feet, weighs about 190 and is very fast, also a good hitter. He has everything any pitcher ever had. Recently he pitched four games against the All-Stars, of Chicago, a team composed of such players as Jake Stahl, Mike Donlin and others. He allowed only two runs in the four games. Unless Gans really wants to, there is no urgent necessity for him to meet the Dane (Nelson). Joe is prosperous as never before in his career of nearly twenty years. For the Britt fight he received the immense sum of $16,000, more than he got for his victory over Nelson in those awful forty-two rounds at Goldfield. Britt himself took down $10,770.90. For fighting young Memesic at Los Angeles, Joe is to get $8,000 of a $10,000 purse, which he earned, earnings, will bring his receipts over the month of September up to the neighborhood of $25,000. There is one splendid feature of the present Burton campaign for mayor, and that is the one that will compel Afro-American voters to show how much real MANHOOD there is underneath their praise of Senator Foraker and their loudly spoken words of gratitude for the great good he has done the race and greater sacrifices he has made in doing the same in the Brownsville matter, in and out of congress. There is no dodging the issue this time. You are either for Burton Foraker or Foraker himself. The grim man himself won't deny this and knows it's so as well as every fairly intelligent member of the race. You cannot be for both! Another good feature of the campaign: Twist, squirm and talk as you may, the issue is clear and can't be dodged! Speaking of certain Columbus, O.Afro-Americans who last week supported the Taft candidate for the mayoralty nomination on the republican ticket, the Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer said: "The verdict of an independent newspaper was that the 'Negro vote is a purchaseable commodity and will go wherever the money is.' The result furnishes ample opportunity for reflection upon what may have been the situation was this: Through his espousal of the cause of the colored members of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry, dismissed for alleged complicity in the Prownsville (Texas) raid, Senator Foraker deeply stirred the emotions of the black race in Ohio. In churches and in meeting halls he was hailed as the friend of the Negro as much as Lincoln, Lovejoy or Summer." And still there were those of the race, according to a Columbus paper, who sold their suffrage rights to Senator Foraker's wife, that she wrote in Cleveland who have already done so or are preparing to do so, seems immutate. For them! PRAND THEM in your mind and memory! We cannot imagine a more ungrateful or more despicable member of the race than such a person. The Saxon war ministry has accepted the delivery of an armored motor car capable of resisting rifle fire, carrying a machine gun and having accommodations for ten men. Several similar cars are being constructed.

For further information The Original Hair Growers We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours With 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 35 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.
