Modes of the Moment

The stern simplicity of the tailor-made coat and skirt does not appear to content us without the addition of the frilled shirt front. And the variety of frills which meander their more or less elegant way down the fronts of the shirts of fashion is simply amazing. There are frills of lawn hem-stitched, frills of pleated muslin bordered with lace, and frills of batiste embroidered in colored cotton, and frills of muslin decked with spots. These are either worn with a collar-band to match, formed in tucks and boned to set well under the back of the ears, or with a stiff linen collar fastened at the back, and pointing a little in the center of the front. Such minor details as the small tied bow of black silk, or the man's dress tie, are added or omitted at the discretion of the wearer.
The frill reigns supreme. And under its most luxurious aspect it boasts a center band of hand-embroidered linen lawn, and this being, edged on either side with a frill of lace, may be justly written down as an edition de luxe of its kind. The collar-band, which completes this, looks its best when made of the embroidered lawn, and the little frill of lace again appears to outline the top of the neck.
and was cut of white lace, while collar-band row under the breast fell the peplum arm, hanging little below each side being with heavy silk the skirt. The
Our half-tone illustration displays two walking costumes under an elegant aspect. Both allie are made of cloth. No. 1 is in a dark shade of peacock blue, a shade this which is to have much consideration bestowed upon it. It is fastened with a short skirt and a long coat, and trimmed with an elaborate braid to match, the contrast being supplied by a velvet collar and cuffs which are in a dark tone of purple. Purple, too, is the hat, as indeed are most hats, and this is of glace with a gathered brim and a large group of shaded cock's feathers waving their influence at one side.
The other dress is brown, braided in brown with the vest and sleeves of brown velvet, the undersleeves and small cravat being of ecu net, while the hat is of brown beaver lined with black velvet with a large black rosette of velvet in front, and a black feather arranged to rest on the hair at the side.
Plain hats trimmed with these large velvet rosettes are very in favor, a combination of color contributing their special claim to admiration. A dark peacock blue felt or beaver hat, for example, would be trimmed with two large choux of velvet, one of violet and the other of dull green, while the base of the crown would be encircled with small pieces of galon burnished dull, and copper of tint.
NEWEST THING IN SKIRTS
The double, or pepulum skirt, is the newest shape of the season, and is constantly gaining ground. One dress seen recently carries out the idea differently and even more effectively than in the more conventional form. The dress was of willow green velvet, with that lovely silvery sheen that one sees when the wind passes over the leaves. The skirt was quite plain, long and flowing, and trimmed solely by large silk tassels placed in perpendicular lines of three along the seams of the skirt between the hem and the knees. It was in the bodice that the pepulum idea was carried out. The front was made of a breastplate of heavy embroidery in different tones of willow green silk, intermixed with a little pale blue and silver. This breastplate hung loose back and front.
and was cut out over a gulpe of white lace, which rose in a very high collar-band round the throat. From under the breastplate, at either side, fell the peplum draperies over each arm, hanging loosely and separate to a little below the waist, the point at each side being weighted and adorned with heavy silk tassels like those on the skirt. These peplum draperies, 1

must not forget to say, were in soft Liberty satin of exactly the same sillvery green as the velvet. The undersleeves, which were pleated the whole length of the arm, and ended like mittens on the hands, were of willow green mousseline de sole. The difference of texture and surfaces, all in exactly the same delicate color, had a delightful effect, giving interest and variety without disturbing the charming harmony of tone.
The newest in velveteen are quite lovely, being rather dull and sad of aspect, yet endowed with some special charm by reason of the new soft surface which the manufacturer have introduced for their and our benefit. There are in the market specially good shades of dull blue, of purple with a touch of red in it, and of brown with a more than strong flavor of green in its composition.
Happily, besides trimming these in the conventional form with the binding of braid, which threatened a few weeks ago to become ubiquitous to the point of monotony, the artists in costume have decided to allow them a full measure of their picturesque possibilities. Velvetene dresses are made with long flowing skirts with loosely hanging bodices bearing falling yellow lace at the sleeves, and with the waistcoats and collar-bands of yellow lace, whilst a most elegant example of a coat and skirt in velvetene is of a dull mullberry hue, with the coat faced with acru-tinted water silk, a waistcoat of ecu lace frilling its way from neck to waist, while the sleeves to match are decorated in like manner.
The rounded corner of the coat betrays the coat of to-day unmistakably and marks the conspicuous different between this and its predecessors.

No one was seriously injured. A temporary plank was put in place just as the president and Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who accompanied him, arrived, and the ceremonies were proceeded. The president, Roosevelt, the Hon.

Wilbur Patterson Thirkeld, as president of Howard university, and the celebration of the occasion of the installation of that institution.

A local daily paper, of a recent date, pertinently remarks: "Don't hurry Mr. Foraker about his presidential intentions, if he has any. He will speak in good time. He is never afraid to speak. That is the secret of his power and popularity. At present he is busy with more pressing matters. There is the Brownville business, and the general discussion of what new legislation the coming session of congress will put on the books. All of that is important. Meanwhile, things are running along smoothly in Ohio. There are more than two hours a day about retiring Mr. Foraker from the senate, and more about republican harmony in the state. The result of the mayoralty race in Cleveland is under consideration, and may operate as a 'lesson.' Not everything is obtainable by means of a club. There are milder and better means, and some very wise and successful men have been known to employ them."

The firm of Fortune & Peterson, under the management of which The New York Age was conducted so long, has been dissolved, Mr. Fortune receiving, it is alleged, $7,000 for his interest in the paper. While it is not made public whether Mr. Fortune share in cash or in notes, the price he received shows the value of a well-established newspaper. The $7,000, unless "Uncle Tom" was terribly in debt to The Age Co., must represent a minority of the stock or there would have been no change in the editorship of The Age. Be that as it may, though, the whole journalistic world feels an interest in Mr. Fortune and it hopes that the writer out copy for a paper of which he will be editor.

NOW PRAISE
Senator Foraker's Stand on the Rate Bill,
Does the
GRAIN DEALERS'
National Association—He Was Right in that Senate Contest as He Was in the Brownsville Controversy.
(Special to The Gazette.)
Columbus, O.—While ripened public opinion has for some time yielded to Senator Joseph B. Foraker credit for a most thorough understanding of the railroad rate bill, there have been those who, for purely political reasons, have denied to the senior senator that fair treatment which is comprehended in the term "a square Grain Dealers' National association, its ownvention, was frank in its statements. It bows to the fact that it was wrong in its opinions during the pendency of the rate bill. It manfully and without outst declares that the law as it was enacted lacks just those points for which Senator Foraker contended. In keeping with the public sentiment on the subject, the grain dealers are of the opinion that the law is defective; they go further, and say that it has been a positive detriment to the country. When it is remembered that grain shippers of the United States were the most vigorous of all the organized shippers of the union in their demands for the enactment of the rate bill; when it is remembered that resolutions were adopted condemning Senator Foraker for his vote against the measure, and when it is remembered that the grain dealers were actually gleeful over the enactment of the law, some idea may be had of the significance of a statement from that not brought relief to, but the law "has contrary has imposed burdens upon the shipping public." Here is the language:
"Whereas, The experience of something over a year under the rate law of 1906, act of June 29, 1906, has demonstrated that whatever may have been the purpose of said law, it has not brought relief to, but on the conclusion of burdens upon the shipping public; and,
"Whereas, In a recent address before the American Bar association Commissioner Prouty urged the separation of the legislative, executive and judicial duties of the Interstate Commerce Commission; therefore, be,
"Resolved, That the Grain Dealers National association favors the separation of the legislative, executive and judicial duties of the commission by permitting the first named to remain in congress by transferring the executive duties to the Department of Commerce and Labor, or by creating a department of railways, and the Department of Commerce Commission as constituted to retain its judicial functions and duties."
This resolution was adopted at the annual meeting of the Grain Dealers' National convention, held in Cincinnati the first week in October. It is a frank avowal of the fact, already known to the public, that Senator Foraker was entirely right in his contentions during the long debate on the purpose of this correspondence to the purpose of the rate bill question nor to call attention to the things complained of by the public and the shippers of the country at this late date. It is only right, however, that the grain dealers be given full chance to make their statement to the public, for, feeling that they have been in error, they are frank and honest in their desire to right the wrong they have done, that the remedial action should be taken of congress. It may be german in mention, too, that Senator Foraker contended that the bill was unconstitutional. It is significant that no action has been brought in the courts under the law. Therefore the supreme court has not had the opportunity to pass upon the constitutionality of the enactment. Is it too much to say that the unconstitutionality of the measure is now admitted, just as is to make sure the ends it was sought to secure for the bill might be well for the parents of the bill to make answer as frankly as did the shippers, who, more than anyone else, were interested, and for whom the bill was designed as a help.
MRS. HATTIE LOUDIN DEAD
The Relict of Frederick J. Loudin, of the Famous Fisk Jubilee Singers, Passes Away.—A Largely Attended Funeral.—A Very Sad Affair.
Ravenna, O.-Mrs. Loudin, widow of Frederick J. Loudin, the famous bass solist, and for years leader and proprietor of the most famous Fisk Jubilee Company, which made a tour of the world some ten years ago, died Monday at 3 p. m. at her residence, "Otura." 401 Walnut street, this city. Mrs. Loudin accompanied her has been on all of its trips and was secretary to her, the same.

She leaves scores of these latter, not only in this country, but in every one of the many she has visited, particularly England. The funeral, from the residence at 2 Thursday, was attended by local friends, and many from abroad. With an exception or two, the pallbearers for Mr. Loudin offici

"The Republican league of Ohio, born in the enthusiastic devotion and patriotism of the young manhood of the republican party, pledges anew its fidelity to republican policies and doctrines which have made the republic prosperous and great. It avows its loyalty to that robust republicanism expounded by its great leaders of the past—John Sherman, Marcus A. Hanna and William McKinley—and as advocated today by their able and distinguished successor in leadership, Joseph Benson Foraker. On this occasion the general officers of the league, together with its advisory and executive committees, representing the eighty-eight counties of Ohio, in session assembled, believe it opportune to declare:

"On the contrary, we believe he was right in opposing joint statehood, as he did, except on condition that a majority of the citizens of each territory should vote therefor, in which requirement the president now concurs; and we believe he was right and we thoroughly approve his action in demanding that the helpless Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry, who had served their country with great valor and distinction, should be given an opportunity to testify in their own defense that they were not guilty of the crime for which, on purely ex parte testimony, they had been discharged without honor.
"Although one of the earliest and most earnest advocates of the policy of government supervision and regulation of interstate commerce and the railroads and other corporations engaged therein, Senator Foraker has steadfastly refused to be forced by public clamor to support measures relating to that subject that appeared to him unconstitutional and of such general character as to jeopardize the prosperity of the American people; and a comparison of the great good that has been wrought under the Elkins law, which Senator Foraker helped to frame and enact, with the bitter disappointments that have been realized under the rate bill, which he opposed, shows that there was abundant ground for difference of opinion concerning the latter measure, and strikingly illustrates the value to the whole country of such qualities in a public official.

Rah, for Foraker!
These are "warm" political days in Ohio.
Where, O where, is that Taft boomerang, NOW?
Carry the news to "Disfranchisement" Taft. He won't think it sounds like "elimination."
What a hard jolt "Teddy" must have received when he read the Foraker news from Ohio, Thursday morning.
Even the Grain Dealers' National association "takes it back." Everybody except "Teddy" and his "heir apparent" Taft are acknowledging that Senator Foraker was right in his stand on the statehood and railroad rate bills, and the Brownville matter. A few weeks more of this latter, in and out of congress, ought to "bring them in," too.
Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, a holiday. All correspondents must mail their news letters to The Gazette of next week sufficiently early on MONDAY, to have them arrive on Tuesday morning, the day following, at the latest. It will be useless to mail them later in the week than the time stated. Do not forget this, if you wish to see your local news in The Gazette of next week.
Because the officers of the Salvation Army of Oklahoma City, Okla., drew a color line on a girl of the race who was recently sent to a Rescue home there, maintained by that organization for girls, Mayor Henry W. Scales of that city, recommended, and the action was taken by the Oklahoma city council, rescinding the payment of a monthly allowance of $50 to the Army by the city, toward the maintenance of the institution. This is really encouraging, and comes from the south, too. There are a number of northern cities that can follow this lead of Oklahoma City and materially benefit their communities.
FORAKER FOR PRESIDENT.
With courage characteristic of our able leader, republicans of Ohio have, by formal action taken, placed the distinguished statesman, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, in the list of candidates for the republican presidential nomination in 1908. At the meeting of the advisory and executive committees of the Ohio League of Republican clubs, held at the Neil house, Columbus, Wednesday afternoon, exceptionally strong resolutions were adopted endorsing the senator for the presidency. In emphatic terms they declare against his elimination from public life and strongly support him in his respectful differences with President Roosevelt. The meeting was the largest, most enthusiastic and most representative gathering ever held in Ohio, outside of a state convention. There were men on hand from every county in the state and some delegations numbered a dozen men. Altogether, about two hundred of the most aggressive republican fighters in Ohio were present to cheer and to pledge their energies for the cause of Ohio's candidate for the presidency. We have never participated in a political gathering its equal in many respects. It was simply a wonder for its loyalty, enthusiasm, unanimity of purpose, harmony, and its exceptional personnel, many of the altest, best known and most distinguished republicans in the "Buckeye" state being in attendance. Afro-Americans of the state were also well represented in the meeting, by Dr. S. S. Jordan, of Chillicothe, Prof. W. P. Dabney, proxy for Hon. George W. Hays, of Cincinnati, and the editor of The Gazette, members of the executive committee of the league; Hon. C. L. Maxwell, Rev. W. O. Harper and Rev. J. G. Robinson, of Dayton, Cap

"MR. TAFT'S RACE PROBLEM."
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said recently:
"To what extent Tom Johnson's election as mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, is due to the support of colored men is not known as yet, but that the Negroes were inclined to vote against Mr. Burton, the republican candidate, was shown during the campaign by the extraordinary efforts which he and others made to gain their favor. Mr. Burton appeared in his municipal conference, and the Secretary Taft and in less degree of the president, and if he had been elected his triumph would have been hailed as a substantial endorsement of the Roosevelt administration and of its heir apparent. While the Brownsville incident, involving the summary discharge of a battalion of Negro cavalry, was due to the exercise of the presiding officer the commander-in-chief, the secretary of war coincided with his superior and on more than one occasion defended the action that was taken. The defeat of Mr. Taft's personal representation in Cleveland, therefore, suggests not only the democratic strength of the effusive, the all-praviding and the highly entertaining Tom Johnson, but the power of the Foraker faction and the power of the Negroes on the blacks. While Mr. Foraker's opposition, Taft program concerns Ohio alone, he is in the southern part of the state than he is in the northern and he is likely to be heard from further. As to the Negroes, if they have shown a determination to oppose Mr. Taft's candidacy, they are sufficiently influential in the various northern states to compel managing republicans to account. Under normal conditions, so far as the white race is concerned, no republican could hope for election to the presidency without the colored vote, which in several states north of the Ohio river is considerably larger than the usual old time republican pluralities. If the Negroes of Cleveland have actually taken the vote, the date has a more important race and political problem to solve at home than any on which as secretary of war he is now engaged in the Philippines."
There is no question as to the determination of Ohio Afro-Americans to oppose Mr. Taft. Last May in state convention at Columbus, they made this fact perfectly clear—so clear, indeed, that up to date there has never been any question as to it. Their "declaration of principles" and anti-Taft resolutions will be found published elsewhere in this paper. The Ohio Afro-American league's foundation rests upon them and they were the basis of loyal Cleveland Afro-Americans' opposition to Candidate Burton, Roosevelt and Taft's personal representative in this city. Throughout the campaign, their slogan was "REMEMBER BROWNSVILLE," and that Brownsville was remembered is proven beyond all question, as the Post-Dispatch well says, by the extraordinary effort which Burton and the several political and business organizations working in the interest of his candidacy, made to gain loyal local Afro-Americans' favor—but in vain. Burton was signally defeated, and the Roosevelt administration, and Taft's alleged candidacy for the republican presidential nomination next year, were therefore not endorsed. The Brownsville "affray" was unquestionably one of the prime causes of it all, much as some people dislike to admit it and try to obscure the fact. However, it will not down and cannot be downed. The feeling among Afro-Americans against Roosevelt and "disfranchisement" Taft because, primarily, of the Brownsville "incident" is acute and general throughout the north and also the south, and will remain so until justice is met out to the outraged "Black Battalion." Political jobs and Roosevelt-Taft "jolly" have not and will not change this condition in the slightest. If the course of loyal Afro-Americans in the recent Cleveland campaign proves anything at all, it makes this fact perfectly clear, also. The nomination next year of either Roosevelt or Taft (something now not at all likely) with the Brownsville "incident" still unsettled, would mean the losing of more than "several northern states," and loyal Afro-Americans would be the direct cause of it. Of that, the Post-Dispatch and all others, may rest assured. Not only Cleveland and Ohio Afro-Americans "have actually taken the stand indicated," but those of the entire country, particularly here in the north, where our votes are cast and counted as cast, and where they are absolutely essential to republican success in a number of states.

OHIO AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE
Declaration of Principles.
"We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emolument.
"As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and just 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 emigromil in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and aligning our forces for a triumphant campaign against the combined armies of hatred, prejudice and insistence toward us within the party ranks.
"President Roosevelt has not been uniformly just and square in his dealings with the Afro-American and cannot be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the south wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favorite uncles had fought under the stars and bars during the rebellion. If he was proud of the fact that they fought to keep our forbears in servile bondage and shoot to death the glorious emblem of our country, the stars and bars of our country, the apostle to recommend to loyal American candidates on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself.
"We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Summer, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Albion W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thousands of others who suffered in our behalf; and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that any of his relatives had fought to dissolve the Union and against human freedom.
"We are for Senator Foraker, for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, reelection to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But whatever his personal ambition may be, we believe in the inherent American citizen to "stand pat" whenever any 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 worshipers.
"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 compels us to state that on William H. Taft, distinguished as he is, cannot and will not obtain the support of the Afro-American voters for the high office of president of the United States so long as he stands admittedly the personal candidate of Theodore Roosevelt. While we are aware of fact that conditions may bring about his nomination and that conditions and votes will bring about his defeat if nominated. We have reached that point where we would prefer to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party.
"We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding star chamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent.
The Resolutions.
Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, secretary of war, is being announced as a probable candidate for the republican nomination next year for the presidency of the United States, and is being widely heralded, especially here in Ohio, as the one most eligible for that exalted honor and position, and
Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, in his speeches at Greensboro, N. C., and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1906, viewed without protest the deplorable discrimination against our people, the undisguised violation of the constitution, in the matter of disfranchisement of colored citizens, at least condoning the same, and
Whereas, The Hon. Wm. H. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military had been unable to prove their guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore be it
Resolved, That we, as law-abiding American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. W. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1904, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the dismissal, without trial of 167 was overturned, we demand of them grown gray in the service of their country, in Indian wars and the Spanish-American war, shows weakness and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conservatism and justice which should characterize an aspirant for the greatest honor of our party and nation.
Furthermore, Be it resolved, that we call upon our brethren throughout this great state, particularly, and the country to join in our protest and warning to all republicans who support the Hon. W. H. Taft for anything at this time, that they are thus forfeiting the good will and support for the future of all loyal members of our race.
Hon. Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, was elected chairman of the state executive committee and head of the Ohio Afro-American league. Other members of the committee: Rev. J. M. Gilmere, Cleveland; Prof. W. P. Dabney, Cincinnati; A. J. Riggs, Springfield; Dr. W. G. Wren, Columbus; Rev. C. D. White, Steubenville; Rev. W. O. Harper, Dayton; Dr. S. S.

All Foraker and other republican clubs and political organizations among our people in the state should affiliate with the Ohio Afro-American league. Read its "declaration of principles" and resolutions elsewhere in this paper and if they meet your approval, write to the editor of The Gazette, chairman of the executive committee and head of the league, and he will enroll your organization with those on the list. Let us work in union and harmony with an eye single to results of the kind desired and made plain in the state conference of our leading men of Ohio in Columbus on May 15.
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.

ENCOURAGING FACTS
THOSE CONTEMPLATING CHANGE
OF RESIDENCE SHOULD
READ THEM.
The other day the writer was in the Office of the Canadian Government at St. Paul, Minnesota. On the windows of the building were signs to the effect that homesteads of 160 acres were given free to actual settlers, and in the windows were displays of wheat, oats, barley, other grains and vegetables, which he was told were grown in Western Canada. This could be readily believed for in no other country on the Continent would it be possible to grow such splendid specimens. The world is now pretty well advised that in the growing of such cereals as have been named and vegetables as well the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have no experience. For several years past specimens have been exhibited at State and County Fairs throughout the State, and these exhibits are looked upon as one of the chief attractions. They have demonstrated what can be done in the climate of a country possessing a soil that will grow things. But that it was possible to grow vegetables such as were seen there seemed to create some doubt. But it was the case. And apples too. Not of course the splendid fruit grown in countries more congenial to such culture, but they were in evidence. Throughout Indiana, the hoosier farmers were forced to stop and think. When a similar exhibit was placed before them during the past few weeks, many of them were forced to stop and remark: "That is much ahead of anything we can do. The quality of the grain we have conceded, for has not so-and-so sent us samples grown on his own farm the like of which we had never seen before. But to think of the vegetables—and such vegetables. Why, we thought everything was frozen up there, and these turnips, cabbages, cauliflowers, beets, mangolds, pumpkins, and squashes are ahead of anything we ever saw grow." That is the story everywhere. Thousands of Western Canada homesteaders, formerly United States citizens, are growing just such grain, just such vegetables, which yield them a splendid profit with little outlay on the farms that they have secured from the Government of the Dominion of Canada at the nominal cost of $10 for 160 acres. If adjoining land is wanted it can be secured from the railway companies or from private individuals at moderate prices and reasonable terms. By placing your name and address on a postal card and addressing it to the Canadian Government Agent, whose name appears elsewhere, a copy of "Last Best West" telling you all about it will be sent you free.
HOW HE FOUND THE KEY.
Brother's Method Was Simple, but Also Somewhat Costly.
Miss Dresswell had just returned, after spending a week with a country friend. Imagine her consternation when she discovered her previously well-stocked wardrobe empty!
"Gracious, George!" she said to her brother. "Where are all my clothes? And what in the world is that great black patch on the lawn?"
The face of George exhibited all the well-known signs of conscious righteousness, and he met her gaze unfinchingly.
"Maria," he replied consolingly, "you wrote to me that if I wanted the key of the billiard room I should find it in the pocket of your bolero."
"Yes, yes!"
"Well, I don't know a bolero from a fichu or a box plea, so I took all the things to the lawn and burnt them. Then I recovered the key from the ashes."
She froze him with a stare, and he is now thawing slowly on the kitchen stove—Stray Stories.
DOCTORS IN GRAND JURY NET.
Two Indicted in Iowa for Conspiracy to Force an Independent Physician from a Surgical Case.
Waverly, Ia.—The Bremner county grand jury, which a few weeks ago indicted fourteen members of the county medical association, alleging violation of the anti-trust law, recently reported additional indictments against Dr. W. A. Rohlf and Dr. O. L. Chaffee on the general ground of conspiracy. Their alleged offense was of forcing an independent doctor from a surgical case, in which he as well as one of the accused doctors had been employed, after he had refused to sign the union scale.

Mr. Luther Johnson delightfully entertained at a swell 4 o'clock course dinner Sunday week: MESSRS. J. Clarence Brown, Mr. John McNabb and the editor of The Gazette. It was one of the very best affairs of the kind we have ever attended, so exponent of the dinner—the result of the nomination knowledge and superior skill of "the King" and Mrs. W. H. Patterson, who as chef is certainly the "queen."
The Cleveland News and Leader continue to parade in black type the insulting and degrading word "negress," in speaking of our women. Do not patronize these papers. A few weeks ago, when Mrs. Mollie Terrell spoke here, both papers ignored all she said and refused to publish a line of her splendid address because it was not in our cause. They did, however, refer to us as "niggers," "coons," "darkeys," "mokes," "blackbirds," and "dingles." How do you like it?
Willie Clifford has been promoted to a $1,200 clerkship in the office of the auditor of the war department. This is Clifford's third promotion within a year. Thus is one Foraker traitor (a member of the race), in the recent campaign paid by the Roosevelt-Taft-Burton "Brownsville" administration. Willie went back to work some more years, but his job was soon afterward "raised" to $70. Now he is receiving $100 a month. It pays in some few cases to turn one's back on his race and support "Brownsville" Roosevelt and "Disfranchisement" Taft and their allies; Candidate Burton, for instance.
As a result of the free-for-all fight in a blacksmith shop at No. 2439 E. 63d street, Tuesday afternoon, Gec. Brooks, a Negro, is in St. Alexis' hospital and threatened with the loss of the sight of one eye. The row was in two sections. In section 1 Brooks and several fellow employees mixed it up, and Brooks faced faces and scalp wounds. Things quieted down for a while and in the interim Gilbert C. Price, a Negro, Brooks' employer, ordered him to leave the shop and not return. Brooks went up stairs and on coming down opened his knife on the stairway for the purpose of cutting some twine. Price saw him appear with the open knife and this was a signal for a re-entry. Brooks was hit over the eye with a steel tool. He made his way to the hospital unassisted. — Last week, Thursday's, Leader.
It is currently rumored that George Myers promised "Jake" Reed to support him as against Henry Eubanks for the legislative nomination next year. This, we understand, was used partly, at least, when Reed was proselytized during the campaign from Mayor Johnson, for whom he declared after his defeat in the convention for the councilmanic nomination. We have not as yet learned what position John P. Green will take in the election, the fact that Myers and Wille Clifford, so he said, did so much to cause his loss of the position in the departments at Washington, D. C., as agent agent he held up to July of last year. The amusing part of it all is the political self-assurance of Myers who never possessed any material influence or potential status in the working forces of the local republican party. Even his more or less ridiculous claim to the same was swept away weeks later, when we caught reeling during to bide好ie Revs. Drs. Prince and Bailey. No more Fleming and Eubanks as Afro-American nominees. We must have a higher grade of candidate, that is, if the individual name is to be elected. More than this, our people of this community will stand no more selection of candidates to represent them, by "Boss" Bill Crawford or any of his crowd,

Jackson, Miss., Nov. 15, 1907.
Editor Gazette —Dear Sir: I note with much satisfaction that you succeeded in rebuilding Rosevelt and Taftism in your late municipal election. This will be a victory for our true and tried friend, Benson Foraker. Yours very truly.
(ATTY.) E. H. JOHNSON.
Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: Our people of Cleveland ought to, and doubtless do, feel very proud as the result of the success of their effort to promote the political interests of Senator Foraker, in the defeat of Candidate Burton.

Cincinnati, O. Nov. 16, 1907.
Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: I extend congratulations on the noble victory achieved by you. Your stand for the right undoubtedly rallied many of our people who would otherwise have been stumped by entrance of Bloosevelt Taft made the duty of your fellow citizens more clearly evident and it is gratifying to know that under your lead they were equal to the occasion. Yours for Foraker,
(PROF.) W. P. DABNEY.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 18, 1967.
Mear Dr. Mr. Smith: It is with great pleasure that I dictate these few lines to show my appreciation for the independent spirit that you are teaching by example in Cleveland and Ohio, will be felt through your efforts. The race must learn that they must be for those who are for them, although we know it means a great sacrifice. When we are right, however, victory will be ours. I congratulate you on the great fight you are making in the interest of the race and in the position, as I know with what I had, and when I made the race for congress in my district. You have my best wishes for your success. Let me hear from you at any time. I remain, yours very truly. GEORGE L. KNOX.
New York City, Nov. 16, 1907.
Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: It behooves us as a race to show our loyalty to those who by their acts have demonstrated their willingness to help others, and who love true justice, regardless of creed, color or position.
Joseph B. Foraker, like the great emancipation whose firm hand, less a government, less a freedom, has fulfilled his destiny, has the qualities of a true MAN—brave, straightforward, liberty-loving, with an honest determination to do his duty in the sphere of life to which God has called him. Never was a man with those ideals needed more than today, to guard our country from oppression of the plurocrats on the one hand and the demagogues on the other; to prevent a government of the parties, to bosses, to spoils; and to preserve liberty from dom of speech and a privilege to vote. May the republican party realize the need of MEN, not politicians, as presidential candidates. Yours for the race,
OLIVER W. CURTIS.
Sent Burton the Tail.
Dear Harriet, November 18, 1967,
I am so eager to get at it. I eagerly look for
the wilds for a good specimen of your national bird so that you might fittingly celebrate your victories by feasting with "Jim Snyder" and friends. After several days of exclining hunting, the hunters found as fine specimen of the bird sought as possible the one that I hoped to have at a time for Sunday dinner and I hope it reached you in time, as it was expressed on Friday via Wells-Fargo. While I am somewhat prejudiced against your national bird because it has no hair on its tail, I believe I should have a hair on it because absence of hair made no difference to you and that you would consider the "possum" as your national bird until something more attractive might be offered, when you are sporting golden slippers and elder-down wings. I think you ought to send Theodore the tail, that he may enjoy some consolation when you explain to "Teddy" how it happened. Alikely to see you sometime within five or ten days. Yours hastily.

“THE TRIUMPH OF JUSTICE.”
Praise for the Loyal and Manly Afro:
Americans of Cleveland Who “Re-
membered Brownsvilte.”
The Nashville Clarion affirms: “Iso-
late the Negroes in schools and the
Negro schools suffer by” comparison
Jwith the schools for whites. Isolate
the Negroes on the railroal trains and
the discomforts of travel are markedly
Increased. Isolate Negroes in cities
and Improvements by the cities reach

the better policy for the race is to
Keep in the general procession so far

by endeavoring to compromise the
manhood and intelligence of the race
through not only asking them to sub-

away the injustices of the Roosevelt
administration —Ex.
Had Mr. Burton won he would have
been the acknowledged leader in
northern Ohio. He would either have
been a dangerous aspirant for the sen-
torial toga now being worn by Jo-
seph Benson Foraker, of Ohio, or he
would have been able to dictate his
successor. He lost, thanks to the votes

ed Brownsville and had not forgotten
the patriotic action of the distinguish-
ed Obioan in the United States sen-
ate—Richmond (Va) Planet,
A just and crushing rebuke to Pres-
ident Roosevelt for his persistent in-
terference in local affairs was the de-
feat of Theodore E. Burton, speclal
candidate of Roosevelt for mayor of
Cleveland, by Tom L. Jobnson, the
broad-gauged democratic mayor. Bur-
ton’s defeat Is also regarded as @ per
sonal vietory for Senator Foraker,
since he (Burton) made known to
delegation of colored voters that, in
the event of his election, he would not
support Senator Foraker for another
term in the United States senate—
Ex.
It does not require a prophet to see
that the 40,000 Negro votes in Ohio
are with Senator Foraker, a friend of
that race. Every Negro’ newspaper
that comes to this office (and they are
legions) is supporting the senior sen-
ator of Ohio. ‘The Negro pulpit of all
denominations in Ohio is Forakerized.
We think the northern Negro would be
fecreant to his trust and unworthy of
public confidence if he faile to recog-
nize the claims of the senior senator
of Ohio. ‘The time has come when the
Negro should throw off the political
slave yoke and vote for the best inen
and measures, irrespective of parties,
He must learn to do a little thinking
for himself—Jackson (Tenn.) Chris:
tian Index. .
The colored press of the country ex-
press general satisfaction that Hon,
Harry C. Smith, of The Cleveland Ga-
zette, won out in his fight against The-
oilore Burton, the administration's
gandidate for’ mayor. “The victory of
Tom Johnson is welcomed not’ so
much because Tom is a better man
‘than Burton, but because the election
will probably eliminate the leader of
‘opposition to Foraker in the. most
populous city in Ohio. In going out-
side of the party to rebuke Roosevelt
for his actions in the Brownsville at-
fair the Negro voters of Cleveland
have done a creditable deed. “Justice
must be done those discharged black
Soldiers” seemed to have been thelr
slogan and they have won out. They
have won more than the local fight,
for they served notice that the Negro
of the north will not prove traitor to
& man who in the face of opposition
from the most powerful man in his
party dared to speak in behalf of and
fight for justice to members of our
race—Nashville (Tenn.) Globe.
‘The colored voters of Cleveland, 0.,
fare making a manly fight for Senator
Foraker in the municipal campaign,
‘Theodore Burton is the republican
candidate for mayor of the city, but
he has expressed himself as being op-
posed to tho relection to the United
States senate of Senator Foraker and
because of this fact the colored voters
largely led by Hon. Harry C, Smith
and the preachers “have bolted the
standard of Mr. Burton and, are kick-
ing him with all their feet, Inthe
‘colored man’s mind the opposing can-
didate who Is a democrat 18 lost sight
‘of and the real issue so far as the Ne-
gro Is concerned is a race between
Theodore Burton and Senator Foraker.
It ls rumored that President Roosevelt,
knowing Mr. Burton's dislike for Sena:
tor Foraker and being of the same
mind himself toward the senator, all
‘on account of the Brownsville aifair, is
ending all the weight of his admlats-
tration for the election of Burton, And
now comes the news that the chalr-
man (or one who represents him) of
the campaign committee offered to buy
the Influence and support of two of
the leading colored _preachers—Revs.
Prince and Bailey. But the preachers
rejected his overtures with scorn and
have exposed the attempted transac-
tion and published it in the papers.

Cleveland and the two racers, Burton
.and Foraker.—Mobile (Ala.) Press,
The defeat of Congressman Theo-
dore B. Burton in the mayoralty fight
in Cleveland, 0. is not only a defeat
of Mr. Burton, but a serious blow to
the president ‘and Secretary Taft in
thelr elforts to eliminate Senator J. B.
Foraker from public life. For mouths
{t bad been the boast of the Taft fol-
Jowers that Mr, Burton would be
elected mayor of Cleveland and that
Mr. Foraker would be on the road. to
defeat. But in their calculations they |
‘did not place the loyal Negroes as an
fective asset against’ Mr. Burton.
“They did not feel that, even at this
ate day, the colored voters would vote
for Toni L. Johnson, the deraocratic |
eandidate for mayor, and against the
republican, Mr. Burton. In this they
made the ‘mistake that has so often
been made by beileving that the men |
of color sean forget a great injustice |
and their friends. But the colored vot- |
FOUR SHAFTS OF HUMOR.
Pithy Remarks from One of the Fore
most Jokesmiths.
With the truly artistie tempera
‘ment the bird in the bush has scant
notion of doubling its value by chang-
ing to the hand,
A has-beon is a man who has spent
his time with hair vigors, electric
brushes end newspaper reetpes, when
he should have been winning a laurel
‘wreata to cover his ignominy with.
When you enter a shop state just
what you want. For then the mer-
chant can go intelligently to work to
sell you something else. The great
law of commerce {s to sell people
what they don’t went. What they do
‘want will sell itself.
But, probably it is no harder to live
up to your reputation when you are
young than it will be to live it down
when you are older—Puck.
DOCTORS ORGANIZE UNION.
Toronto Physicians Fix Higher Scale
of Prices.
Toronto, Ont—The doctors of this
city west of Yonge street have formed
union under the name “No, 11 Ter-
ritorial Division of the College of Phy-
sicians and Surgeons.” The objects of
the organization are to improve the
condition of the profession against
quacks, establish minimum feos and
amend lodge terms. The lowest fee
for medical examination for fraternal
Societies has been fixed at $2, while
the minimum fee for minor operations
has been fixed at $10, and that for
major operations at $50. For a first
visit to a patient $2 hereafter will be
charged, and $1 for each subsequent
visit, while the fee for night visits will
bo doubled, being fixed at $3. The
charge for an office visit has been
made $1, including prescription, while
to give anesthetfes $5 will be charged.
Distinction and Difference.
In Dean Ramsay's book of anecdotes
there 1s one which refers to a conver-
sation between a Scotch minister and
a sexton, The minister was a stranger
to the gravemaker, and discussed with
him the doctrines of the neighboring
clergy. As one after another was men-
tioned the sexton wagsed his head
gloomily, and said: “He's no sound.”
At last the minister—who was a long-
winded and rather empty preacher—
mentioned his own name, and in-
quired: “Mr. —— now, isn't he
sound?” “Oo, aye,” said the sexton,
with a twinkle in his eye. “He's a!
sound.”
His Word Not Good,
J0nn: and sh agreed 40 fettle &
difference by Oghting it out. It was
understood that whoever wanted to
quit should cry “‘nough!” John got
Jim down and was hammering him
soundiy, when Jim cried “‘nough!”
But Jolin paid no attention to his ery
‘and kept on pounding him. Again and
again Jim called out “‘nough! But
John paid no heed and kept busy with
his fists. A boy standing near asked:
“Why don’t you let the feller up?
He's yelled “’nough!”
“But he’s such a liar you can't be-
eve him.”
The Barker and St, Luke,
‘The rubberneck wagon, filled with
sightseers, was approaching St. Luke's
hospital, says the New York Times. A
whitehaired woman stood in the
grounds, and near hera man was
using a lawn mower.
“There,” sald the barker, with a
swing of his arm toward the hospital,
“is St. Luke's hospital, one of the most
noted in the metropolis. The white-
haired lady fs one of the nurses, and
there you see St, Luke himself cutting
the grass.”
Troublesome Growth,
“Does the child ever keep still a
minute?” asked the woman as the
youngster sprawled noisily over the
couch in a dozen squirming positions
at once, it seemed to her.
“No,” answered his mother. “They
are growing when they do that, they
say.”
“WIL you please ask him to stop
growing,” implored the woman, “Just
for this week while he is visiting me?”
Where Legislature Meets Every Year.
‘There are now only six states in
the United States whose legislatures
meet every year. In the others the
legisiatures meet only once in two
Years, and this is true of the great
states of Pennsylvania and Mlinols.
Only the legislatures of New York,
New Jozsey, Massachusetts, Georgia,
South Carolina and Rhode Island meet
‘once a year.
SCHOOL TEACHERS
Also Have Things to Learn.
“For many years I have used coffee
and refused to be convinced of its bad
effect upon the human system,” writes
Yeteran school teacher.
“Ten years ago I was obliged to give
up my much loved work in the public
Schools after years of continuous la-
bor. I had developed a well defined
case of chronic coffee poisoning.
“The troubles were constipation,
flutterings of the heart, a thumping
fn the top of my head ‘and various
parts of my body, twitching, of my
Imbs, shaking of ‘my head, and, at
times after exertion, a genera! “gone”
feeling with a toper’s desire for very
strong coffee. I was a nervous wreck
for years.
“A short time ago friends came to
visit us and they brought a package of
Postum with them, and urged me to
try It. I was projadiced because some
years ago I had drunk a cup of weak,
tasteless stuff called Postum which I
did not Ike at all
“This time, however, my friend
made the Postam according to direc-
tions on the package, and it won me.
Suddenty I found myself improving in
‘& most decided fashion.
“The odor of boiling coffee no tong-
er tempts me. I am so greatly bene
fited by Postum that if I contiaue to
improve as I am now, IM! begin to
think I have found the Fountain of
Perpetual Youth. This 1s no fancy
letter but stubborn facts which I am
glad to make known.”

Or Finger Bow! Would Have Been Put
wy Weald ein
‘The late William Cassidy, one-time
editor of the Albany Argus, possessed
the traditional Irish wit, On one oc-
casion, a number of years ago, he was
a guest at a political banquet in Al-
bany. At that time finger bowls were
seldom used, and their correct usage
(a passing fad) meant to dip a corner
of the napkin in the water and there-
with daintily cleanse the finger tips.
Most of the men present eyed the in-
novation, when introduced at dessert,
narrowly and uncertainly, One after
another ended by plunging the hand
Into the crystal dish. But Mr. Robert
Pruyn, a well4nown Albany gentle.
man, correctly moistened a bit of his
napkin and laved his fingers. Mr.
Cassidy watched him admiringly, not
having as yet touched his own glass,
“That's good,” he whispered to a ncigh-
bor. “That's good. If Pruyn hadn't
done that I should have put my foot
in it!’"—Harper's Weekly.
ITCHING RASH 18 YEARS,

‘Cure by Cuticura Remedies.
“When my daughter was a baby she
had a breaking out behind the cars.
The doctor said that she would out-
grow it, and it did get somewhat bet-
ter until she was about fifteen years
old, and after that she could get noth-
ing that would drive it away. She was
always applying something in the way
of salves. It troubled her behind the
Knees, opposite the elbows, back of
the neck and ears, under the chin, and
then it got on the face. That’ was
about three years ago. She took treat-
ment with a specialist and seemed to
get worse ail the time. We were then
advised to try the Cuticura Remedies,
and now I don’t see any breaking out.

A one-armed man sat down to his
noonday luncheon in a little restaur-
ant the other day, and seated on the
right of him was a big, sympathetic
individual from the rural district.
‘The big fellow noticed his neigh-
bor’s left sleeve hanging loose and
kept eyeing him in a sort of how-did-
ithappen way. The onearmed man
failed to break the ice, but continued
to keep busy with his one hand sup-
plying the inner man.
‘At last the inquisitive one on the
right could stand it no longer. He
changed his position a little, cleared
his throat and said: “I see, sir, you
have lost an_arm.” f
Whereupon the unfortunate ‘man
picked up the empty sleeve with his

Irish Soidicr’s Groat Idea When Cover
| Was Badly Needed.
| Tho following colloamy ts said to
‘Rava actually occurred during one of
‘the earlier battles in the Philippines:
| A detachment of American infantry,
[under orders to support a section of
Capt. Refily's battery, were halted for
quite a white on a perfectly flat mitt
tary road In full view and fine rence
of the Filipino trenches. Of course, to
Tio flat on the road was the only avail
able “use of cover.”
Im this detachment was an Irishman
who had served his time with the col
ors in the [irish army before he en-
listed with Uncle Sam. As a recrnit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything. As a
result he was incessantiy plied with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were “plopping” down the
‘road and Kieking up the gravel a
young Yankee suddenly asked:
“Say, Mike, what do the British sot
ders do with their heads in a place
ike this?”
Quick as a flash came the retort:
“A British soldier has no head,
sorr!”
After a full two-minute pause, Mike
continued:
“However, be that as it may, I wish
T could pick up this d— road and
stan’ it on edge ferninst me!”
