THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 10. In FASHION'S REALM THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY The bell-shaped hat has had a great triumph, and when one considers the extreme uginess of its outline, and the rarity of the saving grace of becomingness, this is little short of amazing. The latest bell-shaped hats are made of ecru lace, and bound with velvet or silk, with a full beefeater crown of lace, tied with ribbons at one side, while usually a rose is laid on the left side of the brim. Stitched linen is also called into service for the bell-shaped hat, and trimmed with a twisted scarf of chiffon it looks its best. Again, it is made of white chip and bound with black chip, the crown being a mass of flowers sewn closely together. And further have I noticed the questionable charms of the bell-shaped hat expressed in colored crinoline lined with black moiré, the sole trimming on the crown being an immense mass of waving feather culled from the back or breast of the farmyard fowl. One of the most effective hats—for a woman of "certain age"—I have seen this year was a large cloche of exquisitely fine "crin" with a full transparent crown of point d'Esprit and a large chou of black satin ribbon at the left side; just above this chou there was a cluster of three black ostrich tips, and jutting from the center of these a large and full white algrette. It was decidedly a large hat, but so quiet and "lady-like" that it would not attract undue attention, and to its fair owner it proved delightfully becoming. More and more it becomes the fashion to wear black hats with white gowns and to accompany these with fine black spotted veils, edged and inserted with fine ivory lace. One or two notable leaders of fashion in Paris started this fashion at the end of the last season, and it has "caught on" amazingly; with a pure white gown and black hat in which not a single tinge of color is introduced, looks surprisingly distinguished; and most women look their best with something dark on their heads. Something quite dark or something quite light. This is a safe rule. Of course, there are women who can wear medium tins on their heads with good results, but these are the exceptions; black—in the best and lightest materials—is quite safe for a summer hat and, besides this, it is exceedingly fashionable. Let us speak now of the new sleeves which are set in folds or pleats from shoulder to elbow, and which then extend in mitten fashion right down to the wrists. These sleeves are leaping into favor with the Parisiennes. The sitting figure in the sketch which accompanies this article shows sleeves of this order, and are to be recommended to those who do not care for the ultra-short sleeve and who find the half-and-half business rather dowdy. Sleeves similar to those in the sketch look exceedingly well when carried out in crepe chine and Maltese lace—both materials being in a pale shade of beige. The lace of Malta is in great favor this year; the kind most used on summer dresses is rather coarse and made in silk; it is—as a rule—in a very pale shade of beige and it harmonizes deliciously with Tussor silk or with crepe de Chine in the same shade. Flet net, inset with Irlande or ornamented with applications of white In Union There is Strength. linen, continues to enjoy a triumphant career; it is effective and pliable, and, above all, it is new. I am not, and never shall be, an admirer of filet—except for certain trimmings, but I realise the possibilities of the net as a background. Fortunately there is no indicative that gown sleeves will attain unwieldy dimensions, such dimensions as they did a dozen years ago or less when the upper sleeve resembled nothing else so much as it did a small balloon, and when the tallest and An Original Design for Autumn Coat slightest of women with the narrowest shoulders could wear them and look older than a monstrosity. The loosely-fitting coat which reaches above the knees, and is cut away round in the front, shows an ever-increasing popularity. The latest edition of these shows a seam above the waist, and a broad outlining of galon which extends round the wide armhole and appears again at the base of the full square sleeve. Such a coat have I seen in reseda green with braiding in black, worn with a high-waisted skirt, over a shirt of flet net, and crowned with a big black bell-shaped hat made of tightly-stretched silk adorned with a panache. This is destined for autumn wear. The Irish lace coat, long or short usually boasting a sacque back, lined with mousseline, or unlined, is having a great vogue, and very pretty indeed it looks. Altogether, I notice a ten dency towards wearing coats which differ from the skirts, and the volle skirt of a light color is accompanied with great success by a short, or three quarter, coat of glace, voluminous lace fills on the sleeves, and lace or net jabot.

The position taken on the suffrage question by Secretary Taft in his Lexington, Ky., speech is in effect that it is all well enough to disfranchise and to degrade the Negro politically, provided the same treatment is applied alike to whites as well as blacks. We are willing to see you make subjects of the Negro in the south just so you will make subjects of some white people, too, and put them down on the same plane as the disfranchised Negro in the south. The doctrine is in line with the preachments of Booker T. Washington, whose advocacy of materialism has done not a little bit to bring up this country to a sentiment that has acquiesced in the relegating of his race back to a subject state under the government in which they were former voters. This doctrine is not stopping at the Negro, either, for the sake of the white masses even now. So far as the Negro is concerned, the Negro is waking up to the danger that has lurked in upon them through the teachings of Booker T. Washington. The masses of the whites in the south are going to awaken of these days to the fact that it is a dangerous doctrine that is so hard to understand, simply implies that the country don't mind it if you put the poor whites and the Negroes of the south on the same disfranchised level. GILCHRIST STEWART WON A Great Victory in the New York City Primaries—the Brownsville New York City.—A significant feature of the primaries here on September 24 was the outcome of the contest in the 13th assembly district. This district has the largest number of colored voters in it of any assembly district in the state. The only involved was when former District St. Paul represents this district last year in the county committee and as its representative introduced the resolution in the republican county committee asking President Roosevelt to rescind his and Taft's order discharging the battalion Prownsville affray. The county machine in charge of Congressman Parsons, who is chairman of the republican county committee representing President Roosevelt, took personal charge of the fight in behalf of their candidate against Stevens. The vote was in favor of Stewart, his force carrying every colored election district by majorities of from 3 to 30 to 1. White-Douglass and Other Marriages.

Sept. 27, 1967: Editor Gazette, Dear Sir — seems to me that our speech Cleo should allow for Mr. Burton, if for no other reason than that he is opposing Senator Foraker. If there is any one man under the canopy of heaven that our people should support, that man should be Foraker, and it should be sufficient for us to know that when a man opposes a man who is always ready to lend a helping hand, that man is not worthy of our support. D. C. FISHER. THEODORE E. BURTON Represents the Enemies of SENATOR FORAKER Our Friend---HIs Enemies Are Ours---Vote Against Burton. (Special to the Gazette.) Washington, D. C. For more than 30 years I have been honored by the Negro vote almost to a man, and simply because, as in this case (Brownville), I have always upheld their rights under the constitution and the law. "I would care to have no other inscription upon my tomb than that I had seen justice done these brave, though helpless, members of the American army." Thus spoke a man who he was a soldier, never signed a round robin; thus spoke a man who, when he was mustered out of the army, never used his uniform as a side show to capture votes; thus spoke a man who dared to actually plunge into hoodwink the public into the belief that he was an honest man; thus spoke a statesman, and not a charlatan; thus spoke the Honorable Joseph Benson Foraker, at Canton, April 10 of this year. Blessings on his name, and damnation to his enemies. This is the man, my friends, whose real life is threatened because he dared to attack the attention of a started public to a white-cap in the executive chair. It is said that hath hath no fury like a woman scorned, but the fury of a woman scorned is not to be compared with the fury of the ingrate in the White House when he crossed swords with Mr. Foraker and discovered there. There is no doubt, in my mind, that the cunning brain of this ingrate is working day and night, devising schemes, seeking purchasable support, to the end that he may defeat the man who dared tear the mask from his face and disclose a hypocrite. Hypocrite! Yes, hypocrite!! Had he not done so, the order dismissing the soldiers until after the election, the election in which he and his son-in-law were so much interested, the election in which the returns would have told a different story had the Afro-Americans known of the perfidy lurking in his ungrateful heart. We are not in it, we are. We know his scheme and are prepared to oppose it with all our might. No greater honor could I wish for than rising or falling under the banner of Joseph Benson Foraker. My friends, this grand man has done what no other white man of his position and standing in America would do—staked his future political career in the United States, and going to do in return? Of course the readers and thinkers of our people need no advice, and need not be appealed to, but there are hundreds of our people in Cleveland who do not pay any attention to the serious side of life. Are you looking after them? Their votes count and we want them cast against the enemies of our below senator. Are you bringing them to the table, or have themselves, their race, and Senator Foraker? By performing the third they accomplish the other two—vote against the enemies of Senator Foraker and show to the world that you are worthy of the ballot and know how to use it. The eyes of an inquisitive and anxious senator, the morning after the election for the sole purpose of seeing what our voters of Cleveland did. Will they see, in big headlines. FORAKER DESERTED BY THE NEGRO or will they see, NEGROES PROVE THEIR LOYAL TY TO FORAKER. EVERY NEGRO IN CLEVELAND REFUSES OR OWES FOR BURTON If they see the latter then there will be a new era in the political life of our people in this country; if the former, then God help us. I am almost tempted to use another word in place of "help". The enemies of Senator Foraker are our enemies, and, in state, the are our enemies, in state, the are not blind, in conditions should not blind you to your duty. Your duty is to "down" every man who is against him, regardless of party. The fight is not on the level. The people are being hood-winked as to the real issue. It is not a fight between the two dominant parties. Why should a representative in seek power? Are his aspirations do wnward? Are his friends, he is descending from one height into the valley for the purpose of attaining a higher point beyond. The higher point is the United States senatorship and to gain this he has entered into the scheme of our executive lyncher to capture Cleveland, dictate the delegates to the state congress, and to defeat the fight to defeat a man (Foraker) fighting on his merits, fighting for a principle. Senator Foraker is not able to buy, with office, officers and men to do his fighting; he is fighting with volunteers—the fighter who fights for a cause. No conscripts in his camp. Only loyal men. Afro-Americans, white men, African-American band. What a glorious heritage colored man outside of Ohio envies you. Gladly would we take your places! Show the world that the For- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. FREY Copyright 1907 by C. D. Frey. aker troops fought nobly. Let not the glamour of office or the influence of money swerve you from your glorious duty. To receive a presidential appointment is an honor any American citizen should be proud of, when conferred for meritorious service or signal ability, but when received as a reward for service. You are offered for the purpose of casting ollum upon our people, it is horrible, and the man who offers it is capable of any crime and the man who accepts it, in some cases, to be pitted and, in others, DAMNED. May the latter be the fate of any colored man who does not support Senator Foraker that support is needed and wherever the man gives it, give it. You have lived so far without federal office and bribery—continue to do so, and show to the world that we have not yet reached that plane of the white man's civilization. In closing this letter to you, my dear friends, let me again say that you have but one simple duty to perform, and, by being a citizen in the minds of influential men who have heretofore doubted your loyalty. You will develop other Forakers, and, before long, you will enjoy all the rights enjoyed by other American citizens. Do you want them? THEN VOTE AGAINST BURTON! AGAIN ZION SPEAKS OUT In No Uncertain Tones for Our Great Friend Whom Candidate Burton Would Kill Politically. Pittsburgh, Pa.—As stated in last week's Gazette, the Allegheny-Ohio annual conference of Zion A. M. E. church met here recently. On the 21st ult., following the Foraker sentiment stirred up by the episcopal address of Bishop J. S. Caldwell, the report of Rev. G. W. Lewis, of Ohio, and the speech of Dr. R. A. Morrisssey, of Philadelphia, and others, Rev. P. A. Wallace, of Allegheny, offered the following resolution, which was unanimous in support of the clause: "Whereas believing that the Negro ought to be and always has been grateful to those who have shown themselves friendly and given aid in time of need, therefore, be it" "Resolved, that the Allegheny-Ohio conference of the A. M. E. Zion church heartly commends that gallant soldier, statesman, intrepid leader, delitious of human rights, Ohio's brilliant soul, senior school teacher, baker, for his fearless and many defense of our soldiers in the Brownsville affair." This conference spoke in no unmistakable tones. Negro organizations all over the country are coming into line for the man who ought not only to be re-elected to the United States and in point of qualification is the federal republican candidate to succeed Theodore Roosevelt as president of the United States. From the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf to the borders of Canada, there is rising a sentiment with 10,000,000 true American citizens behind it, in favor of Senator Foraker for the highest office in the state of the American people that will make a difference in the approaching campaign, as it has laid out campaigns that swept Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt into the presidency. The Afro-American vote of to-day, more enlightened than at any other period of its history, is more susceptible and sensational than ever before. It feels that effort is needed to crush the greatest friend of the Negro in public life to-day. In every Afro-American household, organization and in every state of the Union there is a silent force at work that will yet break forth with all of the force and fury of a hurricane, sweeping all to defeat the president. It feels that effort for congress or for any public can do, anywhere that the Negro has the balance of power, declare himself opposed to Senator Foraker without suffering defeat. Before the conference met I had a conference with Dr. Wallace about the security the endorsement of Foraker for the congress conference, and he feared then that it would not be accomplished so close to the home of Senator Knox, to allow candidate for the presidency, but when the time came and our forces had gathered and we had got in our work, whatever Knox sentiment may have existed during Pittsburgh among Afro-American before, vanished like fire burning eloquence that demanded every Negro to stand for Foraker, "the Summer of the present day American Negro." It will take proper treatment of J. B. Foraker to keep the over 2,700,000 Afro-American voters in line in the grand contest for republican national candidates. Shall the policies of Foraker to never punish an American citizen without due process of law stand, or shall that of Roosevelt to convict and sentence to life-time punishment without due process of law, when the accused is a Negro, stand? Roosevelt stood in the line-light of justice when the president's strange thing has come over the spirit of his dreams? Why should he punctuate his history with injustice? If he stands for justice, he will stand for Foraker! JAMES W. POE. Mr. and Mrs. Will Marion Cook. Will M.

For President Senator J.B. Foraker BRAND the member of the race who can be ingrate enough to vote to help eliminate Senator Foraker from public life. Such a one is worse than a traitor to the race and its only outspoken friend in congress. Joe Gans whipped Geo.

Congressman Theodore E. Burton will return to the city today, after an absence of a week or ten days. We shall wait for his promised reply until Tuesday next—no longer. Enough has been published in The Gazette of September 14, 21 and today to convince any one as to the real temper and feeling of our people, at home and abroad, as regards his candidacy for mayor of Cleveland. How is it, that Booker T. Washington can speak out for prominent white men, especially those who have injured the race, like Roosevelt and Taft, and never has a single word to say in behalf of the outraged "Black Battalion?" Hasn't he heard of the Brownville affair and the great work for the race Senator Foraker has accomplished in clearing our soldiers of the president's and his secretary of war's terrible charges? No man can lead his people who adopts such a course, because they can place no confidence in him. * CANDIDATE BURTON. Recently, 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. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY. OCTOBER 5. 1907. 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. 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 Indiana, should do the same thing in that city, in November. It is all the part of a well-laid plan to eliminate 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, Chautauquas and other regularly organized Ohio bodies. Even the Taft subsidized 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 Cleveland and Cincinnati, the state's two largest cities. It would be a very easy matter, as we have already said, for said officials, with assistance from other parts of the state, to control the next republican state convention and 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. "IN BANDANNA LAND." Williams & Walker certainly have a "money-maker" as well as a great laugh-producer in their new play, "In Bandanna Land." Their individual work is the best. No comedians in this country, black or white, are in their class. Williams is certainly the comedian of the season, is second only to the stars. She sing and acts exceptionally well and dances even better. Few comedians are in her class. The choruses, most of the solos and acts are fine and the costumes of the entire company very pretty and oftimes brilliantly so. While the play is not near so high a grade production as "Abyssinia," the costumes there is not a slow movement in it from start to finish. The only two features of "In Bandanna Land" open to criticism are Mr. Troy's solo, which is certainly not worth the effort soloist, company and orchestra waste upon it, and Mr. Strange's failure to speak some of the words of the excellent selection he read so well in the main.

Last fall, a year ago, the writer was a candidate on the republican ticket for a fourth term in the Ohio legislature from this county. With the entire local republican ticket, with one exception, and the republican candidate for governor, Col. Myron T. Herrick, we were all sent down to defeat as the result of a speech delivered at Akron by secretary of war, Wm. H. Taft, and the reform cry of graft, directed by him and other persons against Geo. B. Cox, of Cincinnati. In plain words the effort to eliminate Cox from Ohio politics resulted in the defeat for re-election of Gov. Herrick (who did much to help himself down to defeat, we will admit) and hundreds of local republican candidates throughout the state. Now comes Mr. Cox with a suggestion that this same man, Taft, be endorsed by Ohio republicans for the republican nomination for the presidency next year, that Senator Foraker be endorsed for re-election to the United States senate and that Gov. Harris be nominated in the next republican state convention. His suggestion is alright as far as his reference to Messrs. Foraker and Harris, but no amount of suggestions from him or any one else will secure for Secretary Taft the endorsement and support of self and race respecting Afro-Americans, particularly of Ohio, and President Brownsville Tex. 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's firebrand prejudice play, was scheduled to appear at the Grand Opera House, Cincinnati. Charles P. Taft, Secretary Taft's brother, editor and publisher of the TimesStar, and manager of his brother 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 alleged Taft candidacy and even those who are trying to prosecute Charles and abetting Tom Dixon's 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. Anti-Taft Delegates Washington, D. C.—Unless the situation changes, which is unlikely, the District of Columbia will be represented in the next republican national convention by a delegation known to be anti-everything the president wants, because to party nominations. Dr. Reynolds, a former delegate to several former national conventions, are in the anti-Roosevelt and anti-Taft deal. Gets $8,000 Damages. Lynchburg, Va.—At Campbell Courthouse a jury recently returned a verdict against the Southern railway, giving Willis J.

Prof. Scarborough Writes According to the Tuskegee (Ala.) Student of a recent date, Prof. W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce university, recently wrote Principal Booker T.

GREAT MEET! Scores Both Roosevelt and Taft! --- FORAKER PRAISED! Splendid Declaration of Principles and Strong Anti-Taft Resolutions—The Ohio Afro-American League and Officers. Columbus, O.—The greatest, most harmonious, (for there was perfect harmony, unanimity of purpose and action at all times) most enthusiastic and successful race conference ever held in Ohio, certainly within the last quarter of a century, was the meet on May 15 in Lazarus' hall, this city. The exceptional personnel of the gathering had much, of course, to do with this. Nearly 100 prominent Afro-American ministers, business and professional men, republican leaders from the different parts of Ohio met in a state conference at the request of the editor of The Gazette, defined their position in the pending presidential contest between Senator Foraker and Secretary Taft and served notice upon the secretary and his friends that neither Taft nor Roosevelt, nor anyone the latter supports, will receive the support of the Afro-American voters of Ohio, who are 40,000 strong. President Roosevelt was both condemned and denounced, and Senator Foraker was commended and indented in the most glowing terms. The strongest language was used in denouncing the chief executive, the delegates were thoroughly in accord with the resolutions and they were adopted without a dissenting vote. The committee was made up as follows: Rev. J. M. Mirem, chairman; Rev. H. Harry C. Smith, Cleveland; Hon. C. L. Maxwell, Xenia; Rev. E. L. Gillman, Columbus; Walter S. Thomas, Columbus; Prof. W. O. Harper, Cincinnati; Rev. W. O. Harper, Dayton; Major Arthur J. Riggs, Springfield; Dr. W. G. Wren, Columbus; Dr. S. J. Jordan, Stuhlheine, and Rev. D. C. White, Stuhlheine. Secretary of War Taft did not escape criticism and was referred to as the custumber of the president. "Foraker was the custumber 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. T. albert, of Wilberforce, was named for chairman by the editor of The Gazette, and Dr. Wren and Mr. Poston were made secretary and assistant respectively. While the committee on resolutions were out, addresses were made by delegates and others present. Among this number were: Rev. C. S. Williams, of Washington C. H.; Messrs. Riggs, Smith, Talbert, titler; N. B. Marshall, of Washington, D. C.; Churchill, Stewart of New York City. While the 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 embunggio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and aligning our forces for a triumph and campaign against the embunggio 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 barge and shoot to death service bondage and shoot to death service bondage of our country, the stars and stripes, he is not in a position to recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Alibon W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thousands of others who suffered in our behalf; and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of pride than 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. But whatever his personal ambition may be, 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 I. 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 starchamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, out instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent. "C. L. Maxwell, Xenia, "E. L. Gilliam, Columbus, "Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, "William Guy Wren, Columbus S. S. Jordan, Chilliehite, W. P. Dabney, Cincinnati, W. P. Harpe, Dayton, "Chesley H. Harpe, Sibenville, J. M. Gilmore, 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 1963, viewed without protest the deplorable discrimination against our people, the undisguised violation of the constitution, in the matter of disfranchisement of colored citizens, at least condoning the same, and Whereas, The Hon. Wm. H. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a victim of the alleged Brownville 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 them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore be it. Resolved, That we, as law-abiding American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. Wm. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1804, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the dismissal about riot of 167 in the civil war, tortures, kidnages, 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.

We can imagine no Negro without a heart full of gratitude to Senator Foraker, unless it is the Negro hoping for immediate political preferment. Of course these are not all as rare as orchids.—Charlestown (W. Va.) Advocate. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from Mr. and Mrs. W. Henderson, of 2214 North Carolina, for the daughter of their daughter, Carolyn, to Mr. William Oliver Thornhill, of Trenton, N. J., on Thursday evening, October 10. Messrs. Chavers and Shanklin, publishers of the Columbus (O.) Standard, went to Mayor Tom L. Johnson and the republican executive committee the past week and claim to have made them able to publish a Cleveland edition of their paper. Geo. W. Johnson and Walter L. Brown claim to have seen them "pow wowing" with Mayor Tom. Columbus Afro-Americans did NOT desert Senator Foraker nor will they, and the attempt to make that appear so is ridiculous as it is malicious. We can understand the effort of the Taft subsidized press of Ohio and the country, to make we cannot, that of certain newspapers that heretofore apparently have not been so easily misled. The Caterers' club gave a swell reception last week Thursday evening in honor of Williams' and Walker. There was an excellent lunch and program in which Williams, Jr., James Johnson, Mr. Valentine, E. S. Thomas, J. W. Wills, J. C. Brown and D. E. Moore participated as well as Williams and Walker, R. H. Strange and other members of the W. & W. company. The following letter was sent by the editor of The Gazette to Mayor Tom L. Johnson Tuesday: "Dear Some of the lunch venuity on the Square and in that vicinity, to which you grant permission to carry on the business of taxpayers by discriminating on account of race and color. This I am sure you will cause to be stopped at once, or revoke the permits of the foolish individuals who so demean themselves." Over 100 years, as proved by authenticated records, was George Wiggs, sr. whose funeral was held last week at his home, *George Wiggs*, Jr., brother, Eudel heights. He was of 16 children, grandfather of 122 and great-grandfather of 71. The following sons and daughters reside in Cleveland: Turner, George, Jr., and Henry Wiggins; Mrs. Maria Dupree, Mrs. Nancy Robinson and Mrs. Kittle Foster. The body is being taken to his old home at Seneca, S. C., for burial by his sons Henry and George. It was not so long ago, only a few years, that Tom Fleming openly supported Hubbell, the democratic candidate for the council in ward 12, and openly consorted politically with Mayor Tom's democratic cohorts. For this and other things he was expelled from the 12th Ward Afro-American Republic of which the editor of The Gazette was president. Then again, Tom bolted the nomination of the Afro-American candidate for the legislature on the republican ticket, two years ago this fall. Now he is asking republicans to vote for him. Just a little inconsistent and queer, to say the least, isn't it? Under the date September 24, 1967, Mayor Johnson's private secretary wrote the editor of The Gazette as follows (relative to the complaint mentioned in an item published elsewhere in the local columns of The Gazette to day). I have your letter of the 24th to day. I have to see that the condition suggested is corrected." Under the date September 27, 1967, Secretary Gonger again wrote us as follows: "In further reply to your letter of the 24th, I have to say that the persons complained of absolutely deny that there has been any discrimination. They cite one or more problems but not for that reason. I have to advise you, however, that there will be no further discrimination." There is one splendid feature of the present Burton campaign for mayor, and that is the one that will compel local Afro-American voters to show how much real MANHOOD there is underneath their praise of Senator Foraker and their loud 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 or Foraker in this fight! The conqueror wields the power and knows it's so as well as every faint 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 plain and can't be dodged! 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 made a clear introduction of his contemporaries and 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. To elect Congressman Burton mayor of Cleveland will be to embarrass Senator Foraker and possibly cause his defeat for re-election by the next Ohio assembly, and no colored American with one spark of manly gratitude in his make-up can afford to aid or abet this effort to advance the political enemies of Mr. Foraker which incumbent of the White House. * * * * * We are hungry enough to seek, want or accept any office within the gift of the president of the United States if it involved the undoing of the great and powerful American (Senator Foraker) who cooperd his entire political fukushima disaster to "square deal" for all Americans that has apparently been abandoned by Mr. Roosevelt when the rights of colored Americans are in question, and we regret that we are not in Ohio where we would more effectively support the splendid efforts of Hon. Harry C. Cox, the former governor who gave the Black Battalion a chance to be heard, and it seems vindicated.—Detroit Informer. "Nobody Walks" Asks "Polly" Some Questions. Editor Gazette. —Dear Sir: Here are a few questions I would like to know if "Polly" could answer—"Polly" is the Afro-American candidate for councilman-at-large: Did she ever support Mayor Tom L. Johnson; was she present at a big showout? owout Mayor Tom L. Johnson many months ago? Did "Polly" ever receive any money for doing political campaign work; did "Polly" and H. Taylor ever work together; has "Polly" got a good, clean record to represent our people in the city council; did "Polly" spend considerable money at "Starlight's" on Monday night; if she did, what for, and where did she get the money; did "Polly" say if her name had not been placed on the ticket that of no colored man would have been; do you think that she would be to the council; is Hirsty, Rodway, Crawford and Burton supporting "Polly," do you think that "Polly" is a grafter; who is going to be "Polly's" guardian if elected; don't you think she ought to have one; do you think she is just ripe enough to be plucked? Signed 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.

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

For further information We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours With TRADE MARK (Registered) KINK·INE Great Hair Straightener and Grower Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month: if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, curses dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-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 Tollet Soap in the world, price 23 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

Uncle Ell felt he knew the metropolis pretty well. Had he not been there three times in four years—and twice he had ridden on the elevated. So when he brought Aunt Susan with him (on the fourth trip) he naturally assumed the role of guide. She marveled at everything until they sat down for luncheon. They had gone into the Astor house for that meal, but all its other marvels seemed lost on the visiting country hostess, as she looked open-eyed at the crowds that filled not only the corridors but the restaurants. Scarcely had they found seats, when this amazement took definite shape. “Eli,” said she in a stage whisper, “I can’t set here an’ eat peaceably. I’es must go downstairs’ an’ help missus Astor with the cookin’ an’ dishes.”—Bohemian. First Aid. A Washington doctor was recently called to his telephone by a colored woman formerly in the service of his wife. In great agitation the darky advised the physician that her youngest child was in a bad way. "What seems to be the trouble?" asked the doctor. "Doc, she done swallered a whole bottle of ink!" "I'll be there in a short while to see her," said the Medic. "In the mean time have you done anything for her?" "I done give her three pieces o' blotten' paper, Doc," said the negress, doubtfully.—Harper's Weekly. 56.560 Acres U. S.

Deep tucks are taken up in the front and stitched to the waist or to yoke depth if preferred. The closing is in the front under a box-plait. The back is entirely plain and a turndown band attached to a standing band finishes the neck. Convenient little pockets are applied to each side of the front, but may be omitted. The regulation shirt sleeves are finished with laps and straight cuffs. The present development was in brown and white French flannel, the collar, cuffs and pocket laps being of white flannel, but madras, pique, linen and the usual shirting materials are adaptable.

"War," said the truculent old general, "is a necessity. Science teaches us that we must have war in order to keep the population properly thinned down." "Science once taught us so," the apostle of universal peace agreed, "but you must remember general, that was before the advent of the automobile."

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1917. HOME-MADE REMEDY NEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PRE PARED BY ANYONE. Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache and Overcome Kidney Trouble and Bladder Weakness Though Harm-less and Pleasant to Take. What will appear very interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription, as formulated by a noted authority, who claims that he has found a positive remedy to cure almost any case of backache or kidney or bladder derangement, in the following simple prescription, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well-known authority, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescription pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those who suffer can make no mistake in giving it a trial. NOTHING HID FROM KAISER. How German Emperor Keeps in Touch with World's Affairs. The German emperor's interest in everything that goes on in the world is well known, but few are aware of the trouble he takes to keep in touch with current affairs. According to a Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads at least three papers every day, changing the list several times a week in order to become fully acquainted with the ideas of all political parties in the state. But this by no means exhausts his appetite for information. Every day the ministry of foreign affairs, as well as that of the interior, has to provide newspaper cuttings, properly named and dated, and pasted on slips ready for the emperor's perusal. These he carefully reads, making marginal notes as he goes along, and they are then scrupulously classified and put aside ready for immediate reference. Often, too, the emperor asks for cuttings relating to the particular technical subjects in which for the time he is specially interested. FURIOUS HUMOR ON CHILD. Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body—Nothing Helped Her—Cuticura Cures Her in Five Days. "After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fortnight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty four hours we noted considerable improvement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time. Mrs. F. Ruefenacht, R. F. D. No. 3, Bakersfield, Cal., June 25 and July 20, 1906." NO NEED FOR WORDS. Brief Pantomime Told Everything to the Onlooker. Harrison Grey Fiske discussed, at a dinner in New York, the art of acting. "I believe," said Mr. Fiske, "in subtlety and restraint. A nod, a shake of the head, a silent pause—these things are often more effective than the most violent yelling and ranting. "Life is like that, subtle and silent. What, for instance, could be more expressive than this scene, a scene without a spoken word, that I once witnessed in the country? "An undertaker stood on a corner near a noble mansion. He elevated his brows hopefully and inquiringly as a physician came from the house. The physician, compressing his lips, shook his head decidedly and hurried to his carriage. Then the undertaker with a sigh passed on. Full of Knots. The lanky trump removed his tattered hat and displayed his intellectual brow. "Ah, lady," he confided, "I have brains to burn. There is nothing I like better than to tackle knotty problems." The busy housewife reached for the ax. "Indeed!" she said. "Well, go down to the woodpile. You will find that last load the most knotty problem you ever tackled during your career." Annoying. "I suppose your family had a good time in Europe." "Well," answered Mr. Cumrox, "I don't think mother and the girls enjoyed themselves all the time. You see, they had so much trouble figuring foreign money back into dollars that every now and then they were embarrassed by finding they had accidentally ordered something that wasn't expensive." Mildred—Of course, I care more for a man's true love than for the amount of money he spends." Clothilde—"Oh, of course!" Mildred—"But still, it's awfully hard to hold a cheap man dear." And It Was Something of a Variation of Old Adage. Tommy was stubborn and his teacher was having a hard time explaining a small point in the geography lesson. "Tommy," teacher began, "you can learn this if you make up your mind. It's not one bit smart to appear dull. I know," she *continued, coaxingly,* "that you are just as bright as any boy in the class. Remember, Tommy, where there's a will there——" "Aw," broke in Tommy, "I know all dat, I do. Me fadder's a lawyer, he is, an' I've heard him say it lots o' times." "You should not have interrupted me," reprimanded the teacher, "but I'm glad that your father has taught you the old adage. Can you repeat it for me?" "Sure," said Tommy, confidently. "Me fadder's says dat where der's a will—der's always a bunch o' poor relations."—Lippincott's. Little Lucy came home from school pitying it. It was some time before the family could learn the cause of her trouble, but finally the sobbing grew less violent and she wailed out: "Teacher says—if I don't get my spelling lesson—she's going to make an example of me, and—if she puts me there, I'm—afraid the scholars will rub me ou—t!"—Detroit News Tribune. $100 Reward, $100.

"Babies who are weaklings should be killed at birth," remarked the advanced doctor. "We are getting to be idiots and imbeciles," he added. "You are too radical," remarked a hearer.

The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press of a few days since contains account of the success that followed the efforts of William Knowles, an Englishman who located near Winnipeg, Manitoba. This is but one of many letters giving experiences of settlers, and should be encouraging to those who are looking about for a new home in which they may better their conditions. The following is a copy of the article referred to: William Knowles, who cultivates some twelve acres of land just below Middlechurch ferry on east side of the Red River has probably as fine a display of horticultural products as any in Manitoba. The whole of his holding is in a high state of cultivation and literally crowded with splendid vegetable specimens, which have fortunately escaped damage by hall, although heavy storms have more than once occurred within a few miles. The potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he expects to raise 1,500 bushels from his patch of 4½ acres. A half dozen of tubers selected yesterday average more than a pound each. Adjoining the potatoes may be seen a marvelous collection of tomatoes. There are 600 plants, all growing under an enormous weight of fruit. One single stock picked yesterday contained eighteen tomatoes and weighed four pounds. This extraordinary example of marvelous growth, together with some of the potatoes were sent to the Free Press office. The proprietor was the first in town with several specimens, including green corn. The season has been favorable for onions, and one square patch of nearly an acre is looking remarkably healthy. In addition there are good crops of cabbages, cauliflower, turnips, parsels, carrots, pumpkins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas, lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral department has not been neglected and a charming display of all the well known blooms were shown, including a specially choice lot of asters. Mr. Knowles, who gained most of his gardening experience in England, is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil for vegetable raising, and is gratified with the result of his first attempt at extensive horticulture. PROVIDENCE WAS IN IT. Fortunate Meeting Surely Brought About by Hand of Fate. A farmerish-looking man shared my seat on the train as I was traveling through Indiana, and after we had been talking for a couple of hours a very common-looking woman got on at a station. I saw the man look very hard at her, and directly after she had taken a seat he rose up and said: "Excuse me, stranger, but I think I used to know that woman, and I'll go over and see her." He was gone about an hour, and I had forgotten all about him when he returned to say: "Yes, I knew her. Durn my cats if it didn't turn out to be 'my first wife'." "It did?" "Sure's you live. We was divorced 'leven years ago, and since then I've been married twice and lost both women by death. I surely believe the hand of Providence is in it." "For just what reason?" "Why, I've got nine children that need a mother, and Hanner is willing to try it again and see if we can't get along better!"—Exchange She Enters Finance. "John, where is Skinnem's broker age office?" "Why do you ask?" "I understand he is offering some bargains in stocks, slightly damaged by water."—Washington Life. Women Avoid Operations When a woman suffering from female trouble is told that an operation is necessary, it, of course, frightens her. The very thought of the hospital, the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but a failure by Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after an operation has been decided upon as the only cure. The strongest and most grateful KNEW WHAT PAPA SAID. A Terrible Possibility $100 Reward $100. Middle Ground.
