AT FASHION'S SHRINE THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY A SMART TRAVELLING A CHIC CREATION COSTUME LATEST IN SHIRT WAISTS 18 IN VICOR DEI FREMI DEI TWENTY-FIFTH AT & FAS A SMART TRAVELLING COSTUME We have heard since the summer season a great deal about the "War on Sleeves," but if this war still continues it must be fought with the winds, for there are no longer two sides to the question; short sleeves—except for evening wear—are now, practically, non-existent, and for one three-quarter-length sleeve we find three full-lengths. For afternoon costumes, to be worn on occasions of ceremony, we find the three-quarter-length sleeve very much used, but all the coat sleeves are long or are worn over blouses, or bodices, which show the tight sleeve reaching to—or over —the wrist. Most women will find the long, rucked up sleeves very being; and some dressmakers insist on mounting them on a tight lining, but my personal taste is all against this plan. The sleeve will wear much better if lined, but then it will never look so smart and pretty as the sleeves which are made of supple material and allowed to push up against the arm, like a mousquetaire glove. In point d'Esprit for evening wear—the sleeves are delightful, and the upper part, from the shoulder to just above the elbow, should be comparatively full, so that the net may fall in soft folds. From elbow to wrist the sleeve should then be gathered on the inner seam and fastened with tiny hooks and eyes—the piece extending over the wrist being shaped like a small bell and allowed to reach the knuckles. A black taffetas blouse with sleeves of this order is, a delightful and most useful garment, especially if the front openes be braided with fine black braids and edged with mink, the extreme edge of the sleeve, that part which extends over the wrists, being trimmed in the same way. Such a blouse is ideal for wearing with a sleeveless coat of black chiffon cloth or of black mirror velvet. "Fashion" has always been—and ever will remain—a mysterious and LATEST IN S The coat and skirt costumes are the universal wear of the moment, and will be for the next few months, and hence the shirtwaist is an indispensable part of every woman's wardrobe. The trio of waists illustrated above are made after the same pattern, but are of different patterned cloths. The first is of a pretty striped flannel cloth, nonshrinkable and durable, while the second is of a more elegant material, the new and beautiful shadow-striped velveteen. The third waist is made of a check flannel of finest texture. Some of the new striped effects are particularly smart and adapted to shirtwaist THE GAZETTE uncertain personage. She takes delight in strong contrasts, and is just now giving us one in this very affair of sleeves. In the day-time we are to cover our arms completely, and at night we are not to cover them at all! Once again—and one cannot but rejoice at the fact—it is the fashion to permit the upper part of the arm to be seen in all its beauty. It is a well-known fact that the average woman does not possess a really perfect forearm, but that in many cases the upper part of the arm is a thing of distinct beauty; it is generally white and plum, and nothing can be more graceful than the shoulder outline, when we are permitted to see it. Many of the latest models of evening gowns coming from the best Paris dressmakers show bodices with practically no sleeves. They have beautiful shoulder straps of passementerie or jeweled lace and floating lengths of transparent materials are permitted to outline the arm, the ends tied in loose bows or hanging straight down in wing fashion. The bodices of these dresses are very often of great apparent simplicity; folds of supple material drawn slightly across the bust and fastened, invisibly, at the side seam, or equally supple folds arranged in cross-over fashion and caught down at the waist by a handsome clasp or buckle. With evening bodices of this order the embroideries on the skirts are gorgeous beyond description, but then the skirts themselves are often cut in Princess style and are severe in outline. On all the finest embroideries—and, indeed, braidings—of this season we find numbers of small tassels introduced, tassels to imitate the petals of a large flower or to hang in frankly impossible bunches from the center of a cluster of leaves. Tassels—and of the most beautiful kind—are enjoying a field days this winter, and on the newest evening wraps they are absolutely ubiquitous. CHIRT WAISTS wear, as for example soft alternating shades of blue and green, or again a white striped with black and nattier blue. The shirtwaists shown above are made with a collar band, so that any kind of neckwear can be used with them, while collars to match can be made and are quite the proper thing. Island Washed Away Elmore's island, between Hinsdale, N. H., and Vernon, Vt., in the Connecticut river, has been washed away by a freshet. The island was several acres in extent. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. To Enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution Following is the report of the committee on national affairs of the Republican club of New York unanimously adopted at its regular meeting on November 18, 1907. It is regarded as the leading organization of the kind in this country: **Race Prejudice Increasing.** We call on all American citizens to oppose the rising tide of race discrimination that threatens to overwhelm us. The situation is far worse than it was ten years ago. The late Carl Schurz not long before his death wrote: "Here is the crucial point: There will be a movement either in the direction of reducing the Negro to a permanent condition of sertion—the condition of the mere plantation hand, alongside of the mule, practically without any rights of citizenship, or a movement in the direction of recognizing him as a citizen in the term. One or the other will prevail." Carl Schurz's prediction has become true sooner than he expected. The American people are apparently moving swiftly in the effort to reduce the Negro to a permanent position of inferiority. Race discrimination and race hatred are growing by leaps and bounds. We call on all by voice and pen and ballot to put down this spirit. Especially do we urge our foreign born citizens to join in smiting down this deadly evil. Proscription a Scourge This is their fight as well as the Negro's. Do they not see that if success should come to those who are striving to separate the people on account of color or race, their turn may come next? A distinguished southerner of Louisiana was recently asked: "What will you do if the Italians continue to swarm into the south and secure a majority of the votes in your state?" His answer was: "We've done it as we have the Negro—we will franchise them. The southern Anglo-Saxon men must rule and shall rule," and in the adjoining state of Mississippi, as we learn from The Associated Press dispatches, the people of several towns have under consideration a plan to expel children of Italian parentage from the public schools. The importance to the foreign born citizen of the fight, therefore, to give the Negro a "square deal" is that if the fight continues to go against him, the Negro is placed permanently in the disfranchised class, there will be a demand for discrimination between different classes of immigrants. The Hebrews, who have been discriminated against for generations, and who now in Russia and Roumania are realizing the awful results of race hatred, surely will be found fighting for all. On what principle of consistency can they encourage natives to espouse their cause in foreign lands, and fail to do all they can to right the wrongs of native born citizens in this country. The Italians will not be found wanting in this fight when they understand it. The Germans, the Irish, the Scotch, the Scandinavians, the Russians, the Greeks, the coming to our land in fact, all nationalities and traditions that will impel them to be on the side of justice and against oppression. Such Bitter Prejudice Unknown Abroad The singular and awful fact is that this bitter determination to discriminate against the colored race is chargeable to the native born American. The immigrants have little or none of such prejudice when they come here. In Europe and Asia there is very slight prejudice against a dark skin, and in the West Indies and Central and South America, almost none. It is a sight that lowers this nation in the eyes of the whole world, to see a great and in many ways a highly discriminatory people of the United States engages in a cowardly brutal effort to crush and keep down a race of nine millions of people. Let us endeavor to look at the situation from an outsider's standpoint, as it looks to the Canadians and Europeans, and not as it looks to us, for it will be a continuous contact with any form of wretched crime, renders persons or peoples hardened and indifferent to it. The American people claim to love their constitution. Oaths to honor and obey it are constantly made, and yet the race discrimination has grown to such a degree that this sacred constitution is trampled under foot and despised in many states. Two of its amendments, especially the fourteenth and fifteenth, are openly defied. Taxation Without Representation. Again the right of representation is supposed to be inborn in every American. Taxation without representation was the primal cause of our revolution and separation from the mother country. The constitution of the nation of the forty-six different states, specifically declares against taxation without representation, and yet nine millions of citizens born on our earth in every way having the same political rights as the other seventy-six millions, and paying taxes upon hundreds of millions of property and taking part with high honor in the nation's wars, are absolutely debarred from representation at Washington. Highbanded Fobbery of Rights. On 391 congressman and 92 senators that frame our laws, not one is of this race. By fraud, intimidation and murder they have been, and are now deprived of representation, while forty representatives of their votes sit in the nation's capital. These representatives having robbed the black man of his ballot, are using the stolen right to legislate for themselves, and against him. The great and far-seeking statesmen of civil war times foresaw the evil conditions that now exist and provided the remedy, while we, their indifferentness, and their less experienced, stand by and refuse or fail to apply the constitutional remedy specifically designed to destroy this infamous law-breaking conspiracy. They forbade race discrimination in the right of suffrage, and provided a penalty of reducing the representatives of any state denying or abridging the right of suffrage. (To be Continued Next Week.) STAMPING OUT PEONAGE. The United States appellate court has affirmed the sentence of fine and imprisonment in the southeastern Missouri cases in which the charge was that forty-four Negroes had been enticed from distant places to work at ditching and draining, and not only to labor under armed guards but given to them, would be shot if they attempted to leave. A long trial took place in the United States district court, at which the evidence was thoroughly presented, and the accused, some of whom are men of means, were vigorously represented by counsel, who offered various pleas in abatement. But the penalty adjudged is several years in the penitentiary and a consequence was testified that one of the principals smashed the cusked to the ground that "a man is entitled to anything that can be got out of a Negro." The victims were gathered in at Memphis or vicinity by offers of farm work, and found themselves when they arrived at the destination consigned to an old shack as a dwelling place, and brutal guards set forth boundaries which the Negroes were forbidden to pass. Practically, it was a re-establishment of the slave gang. Such a gross infringement of organic laws, and outrage upon humanity was undertaken in the belief that the state of Missouri would not interfere, and that an appeal to the constitution of the United States could be made. The mistake will be expiated in prison, and the punishment repeated with the idea that it can be committed with immunity from punishment. More or less of the freebooting spirit show itself at times, but can be quickly put down by a firm administration of the laws. On sea, men have been spirited away to serve under cruel taskmasters, but the system there has been broken up. That something as bad or worse has been accomplished, fact, but the United States courts are alert in the performance of duty and the proper vindication of the rights of citizens under the national constitution and laws of congress. It was this safeguard that ended the attempt to revive virtual slavery in one corner of the state. If the wicked scheme had been carried it would have spread, all such infamous conspiracies do if indulged by the authorities. An agent of the national department of justice who has recently made a tour of investigation in several of the southern states, reports that in some cases Italians and other aliens are accused of stealing debt. The Italian pardon system is not an American invention, nor has it been confined to the south. Northern as well as southern cotton mills need a surveillance to insure healthful conditions. Sweatshop methods can be found in all parts of the country, but they are also subject, wherever there is a need for protective measures. Immigrants are turned back when proved to have been brought in by contract. Human liberty is a precious thing, yet there are always some who are ready to plot against it from motives of cunning greed. It will be defended at all hazards by human people, and they are gratified to secure their assail the principle are promptly called to account in the federal courts.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The clear, pure tone quantity of her expression in the higher register, and her faultless She was given an ovation when she appeared and sane in excellent voice, minding one of her palmiest days. The clear, pure tone quality of her voice, especially in the higher register, and her execution of the most difficult trials and runs held the audience spellbound and proved her even yet without a peer. She was well supported by the other artists. The program was: Organ, Intermezzo, Db. Hollins, F. C. Gilbert; reading, "Death of King John," Leigh Hunis, Edward S.

The distinguished Ohioan has evaded no issues and he will receive the cordial support of the commercial interests of this country—Richmond (Va) Planet. Mrs. Woolly, an aristocratic white woman, who is also president of Frederick Douglass Center, Chicago, recently influenced one of the big State Department of employment to two young women of the race regular clerks, and they are doing nicely. Senator Foraker has proved an injustice to American soldiers who are also American citizens. He has shown beyond any reasonable or possible doubt that when the orders of dismissal "without honor" were issued there was no evidence which would properly justify so drastic a proceeding. He is the defender and champion of otherwise defenseless citizens of the United States—New York Sun. Let us pray God that the defeat of Burton, of Cleveland, Ohio, but fororation, the overthrow of Roosevelt-Taft machine, which he represented. You can insult ten million people and shoot bears with their enemies, but you cannot bank on the votes of such of them as have backbones. The Negro who votes for Theodore Roosevelt or any of his ilk is worse than a traitor to his race—he is a fool. Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois, in the SENATOR JOSEPH B. FORAKER. We look upon the president as the great montebank on the American political stage. Though the policy of this paper is republican, we conceive our first duty is to the members of our race. And we feel it our duty to get in the band, and with the bass drum, the Age has so kindly furnished us, so much that people to get themselves together to defeat Theodore Roosevelt or Judge Taft, should either attempt to secure the nomination on the republican ticket.—Philadelphia (Pa.) Tribune. We know of no one who can more successfully combat Rooseveltism than Senator Foraker. The time is now ripe, from now on until the nominating convention meets, for the friends of Senator Foraker to get to know the senator, to national convention that will meet within a few months, but those who will favor Joseph Benson Foraker for the head of the republican ticket, Talk will not do it. Let those who favor Senator Foraker as president to肩头 the sleeves and get to work.—Philadelphia (Pa.) Tribune. The republican party has now a golden opportunity to get back to its traditions. There is no candidate for president who would inspire or could cement their role as Senator Foraker could do. He is brave and dashing enough to catch the radicals; wise and able enough to excite the fealty of the conservatives; his record is sufficient for the captains of industry; and he is the only candidate the colored republicans would support. And they would swim through the ranks to register their devotion and affection for him—New York City National Review. Senator Foraker has launched his presidential boom, and there is consternation in the camp of the Rooseveltites and the Taftites. The sena-veltites and the Taftites. The sena-veltites get down to business will make the fly in every direction. It is already conceded that he will have strong forces behind him, and it is all expected that the Afro-Americans will also line up solidly behind him; if it is not, the sena-veltites proven a friend in the time of need, and he should have a strong backing from those who have been befriended by him. May his boom increase.—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. What is the duty of the Negroes of this country? That duty is plain: Stand by Foraker and use every means to secure his nomination to the presidency of the United States. And if you are met by critics who say he is insincere, point them to his record of forty years; his struggle of four years as a soldier in the civil war as work at the bar, in the legislature, as governor of Ohio, through all of which time he stood as but few men can stand for the Negroes of this country, and to his great service for his country for the right, as God gave him to see the right, during all his time in the senate of the United States. And then answer with your loyalty, all men who believe in the constitution of our country.—Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise. "BUCKEYES Letters from Many Oh Towns Sent by OUR OWN WRITER Personal, Social, Lodge, Chur Literary and Other Notes of Interest That was a notable victory won by Senator Foraker, the great advocate of constitutional rights and liberty for all, when the officers and committee of the great league of Ohio republicans unanimously endorsed him as Ohio's choice for the presidency. The colored people also endorse him for the presidency. We are rejoiced that Senator Foraker has been the great strength in his own state against the determined opposition of President Roosevelt. Senator Foraker is the best and most powerful friend of equal rights among republicans in elective office, and President Roosevelt is the worst and most powerful foe. The Guardian is for Joseph Benson Foraker for the presidential nomination. The Guardian will go with Foraker to will go with Foraker to his defeat, if need be. We are for Foraker for president.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Senator Joseph B. Foraker is one of the greatest men before the American public of this day. He is resourceful, brilliant, manly, able, a peerless debater, and an honor to the country in which he resides. As a United States senator he has no superior and few equals, and during his presence in that august body he has made it plain that he is not a man of right. He has a wide and accurate knowledge of the various questions that occupy the minds of great men, and he can handle them in a masterly manner. With him as president, this country could be guided by no safer, saner or more learned statesman, and along with a host of other Americans his candidacy for the presidency—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. Senator Foraker, for Mar仕斯 (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. Senator Foraker, as a soldier, as a citizen, and as a statesman, is willing to try for the highest honor in the gift of his fellow citizens. The senator represents, as perhaps no other public man, complete reliance upon the efficacy of the law. He is opposed to innovations in order to keep pace with public or private life. The senator, that the constitution, if invoked, has the power to correct what abuses the may have crept in upon the body politic. He is against the enactment of private fancy into public law, and does not hesitate to express his disapproval of many things that have lately been done in the name of the government. The reaction has set in, and whereas a difficult issue has been resolved, in vogue the signs point to the school of Foraker.—Chicago (Ill.) Conservator. Soldier! Lawyer!'! Statesman!'! The gallant veteran woofed from his long silence by the siren voice of his friends, has shied his caster in the ring, and armed so strong in honesty, in honor, in noble principles, that he fears not the darts of those who would drive him from the exalted place he occupies in the minds and hearts of admiring thousands. His letter of acceptance was a masterpiece and well deserves a place in the shrine of naughty bells" were rung by him. No tracking bells" were rung by him. The sentimental toga has been cast aside, answer to the call, he boldly reached for the president's crown, serene in the belief that God and his friends will help him on. "Let guilt or fear disturb men's minds. Cato knows neither of them. Indifferent is his choice to live or die."—Cincinnati (O.) Union. OUR SOLDIERS. THE BEST Officers of the Army and Others Continue Their Praise of Them. The following is from the New York Evening Post: "The Negro soldiers of the army may have lost the friendship of the president, but their great merits have have to serve with them. By the men who have to serve with them, they have twice been complimented later. Last year the white soldiers who were stationed at West Point to take care of the cadets' horses and do other work for the cadets that they may have more time for their studies, were colored troops. Col. Scott, the superintendent of our reports that the experiment has been highly successful. He says that: "The men are better satisfied, the equipments and horses are in better condition than when the detachment was composed of white men, and no actions have occurred among the colored men, compared with thirteen desertions among the white men in about six months." "Out at Fort Riley, Gen. Godfrey, who has lately retired from the command of the Mounted Service school, thinks that colored soldiers should be permanently assigned to the school, and is holding farm which he urges the government to establish there for the cavalry. It is his opinion that colored soldiers are, as a class and by instinct, and often by training, better suited for the care of animals than the white soldiers, and exhibit more patience and affection." The Evening Post has heard from a number of army officers who have served in the army. Invariably they speak of them the officer's terms, and scout the idea of such a sampleacy as the president discovered Brownsville. Statistics show that the Negroes are more sober and less given to desertion than the white troops. Yet, when the war department cannot get white men to fill out the companies and regiments, it still remains that many men any representation in the many men companies of artillery that have been organized this year."

THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. For President Senator J.B. Foraker Harry C. Smith now lays claim to being the dean of Negro editors. Don't the bright, pugnacious editor of The Cleveland Gazette know that such a claim suggests age? And Harry is still a bachelor—New York Age. Our conferee is mistaken. We did not "lay claim" to being the dean but merely asked whether we were not. As to the matters of age and bachelorhood, pleading guilty to the latter and possibly the former, we are not greatly concerned at this time. However, if memory serves us correctly, the first copy of the New York Age, which succeeded the New York Globe, was issued some time after the birth of The Gazette. We would like to know the judgment of the editor of The Age in this deanship matter. Senator Foraker is really Ohio's only candidate for the republican nomination for the presidency. Taft, upon whose alleged candidacy President Roosevelt is said to smile, should be known as the Washington (D. C.) candidate. It is simply astonishing what a large number of newspapers and leading republicans of the state, has rushed to the support of the Foraker candidacy since the recent elections, who for months past have either expressed themselves favorable to the alleged Taft candidacy or who have remained quiet while the Taft toms were being beaten so loudly as to mislead many into the belief that the whole state of Ohio, at least as far as republicans were concerned, was for Roosevelt's secretary of war. Each day since November 5 has seen a wonderful growth in the Foraker candidacy and a corresponding waning of the alleged Taft candidacy. TAFT AND ROOSEVELT. Any member of the race, who, in the face of Secretary Taft's notorious speeches at Greensboro, N. C., last year, and at Lexington, Ky, this year, would advise Afro-Americans to support his alleged candidacy for the republican presidential nomination, ought to be given a Jamestown exposition medal for duplicity. No loyal Afro-American can urge the support of a man for the presidency, or any other office, who publicly does even more than condone disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars. This is exactly what Mr. Taft did in the speeches referred to. Add to this the abuse that he and President Roosevelt heaped upon our people as the result of the Brownville matter, in those notorious special messages to congress relative to it, and one has enough to enable him to eliminate for all time any consideration of the kind referred to, at least of Taft and Roosevelt. The following from the Detroit informer is pertinent: Roosevelt's Cowardly Threats We could enumerate many further evidences of special antipathy to colored Americans by the Roosevelt administration (and that certainly includes Secretary Taft) but we will conclude by pointing to the cowardly attacks of the head of the nation in a special message to congress last winter wherein Mr. Roosevelt assumes that the "Black Battallion" were guilty as charged by him without first granting it a constitutional trial in such cases made and provided. In this special message the president said: "More evil sinister counsel never was given to any people than that given colored men and women, whether black or white, who apology and condensation, encourage conduct such as that of the three companies in question. "If the colored men elect to stand by criminals of their own race because they are of their race, they assuredly lay up for themselves the most dreadful day of reckoning. Every far-sighted man, the colored race must strive to drive out the white man, the white ward, should teach first, as the most important lesson, alike to the white man and the black, the duty of treating the individual man strictly on his worth as he shows it. "Any conduct by colored people which tends to substitute for this rule the rule of descent by and shielding the individual man, because of their race, means the inevitable degradation of the colored race. It THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1907. may and probably does mean damage to the race, but it means ruin to the black race. Need it be said that the president wantonly and in a cowardly manner, when his great prestige as chief of the nation is considered, misrepresents the facts in this message? So far as we have seen, not a single man, black or white, has apologized, condoned nor encouraged the sort of charges "the three companies in question." In no instance in the whole history of America, including the Brownville incident, have reputable colored people "stood by criminals of their own race because they are of their race." Roosevelt knows this as well as anybody; he knows that in this Brownville case the protest of all righteous men, black or white, was not against the punishment of known criminals but on the contrary it was against the punishment of branding as the grossest kind of criminals over a hundred men KNOWN TO BE INNOCENT, and, second, against the condemnation of any man for criminal conduct without first according to the law in such cases, made and provided.

Secretary Taft has repeatedly, and publicly, too, endorsed Roosevelt's course in the Brownsville matter. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS To Be Expelled According to the Grand Chancellor. Cincinnati, O.—The Pythian Monitor, "official organ of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias," has the following in its issue of December, 1907: Lodges which have among their members diplomat who is a 'professional gambler, saloonkeeper, retail dealer in spirits liquors, wine or beer (except as a bona fide hotel proprietor or druggist)', who engaged in such business since June, 1900, must be suspended or expelled in accordance with Sections 267 and 268 of the Ohio statutes. Grand Chancellor Wilson holds in his office a brothel in the saloon business prior to June, 1900, is not affected by the law, but that any brother who went into the saloon business as proprietor, manager or bartender since June, 1900, must be suspended. "The law is plain, and Grand Chancellor Wilson says that lodges which do obey it to the letter will meet considerable embarrassment as soon as he hears of any infraction of the law. "A case where a brother died who was living in a state of concubinage, and that fact was not discovered until after death, raised another question which, if a similar case arises, will meet a decided stand by G. C. Wilson and will cause a few to get married or lose their $300." Butte, Montana, News J. W.

Soul-Mouthed Ben Viewed in the Right Light—His "Lecture" Again a Financial Failure. Buffalo, N. Y.—The following editorial from a recent issue of the Daily Express is certainly worthy of reproduction in The Gazette; "Petroleum V. Nasby once pointed out that the existence of the Negro was a priceless boon to the low white man. It gave him something to despist. No matter how far down was his own social stratum, he could feel always that there was somebody beneath him. It is to this sort of white man that Benjamin R. Tillman appeals. Some of the better sort may attend his performance out of curiosity, just to learn if a senator of the United States really says the things that are credited to Tillman. But not many white men of any kind attended the Tillman show in Buffalo. The few Negroes that went left early, in pitying disgust. Elsewhere the coming of Tillman has been viewed with alarm by the peace authorities, as tending to provoke riot. Buffalo gave the Tillman troupe no such useful advertising. It simply declined to take him seriously or at any price. "The judicious can have no quarrel with Tillman so long as his caperlings are viewed in this light. It is his way of making a living aid, if you don't approve of such a way of making a living, the sensible course is to stay away from the show. Because Tillman is a United States senator and a democrat, a few of the democratic leaders hereabouts thought it incumbent on them to lend their countenance to the 'lecture'. Viewed even as politics, this was poor politics. The democratic party has been hoping to gain Negro support in the coming campaign by making much of the president's action in the Brownsville affair. A pretty good way to drive the Neeses away from the democratic party is to encourage the Tillmans of the party. "Our readers were familiar with the main points of the harangue before Tillman reached Buffalo. It is the same speech he has been delivering these many lyecem seasons past. We have answered his arguments so far as one can answer a man who disregards answers and assumes that any argument is valid. Facts glance off Tillman. He is impervious to logic. The only merit of his position is its brutal frankness. He does not go so far as some recent southern writers in denying the Negro a soul. He does not even profess to hate the Negro, but boldly proclaims his contempt for him. He glories in ballot-box stuffing and defends lynching. If the north will not repeal the obnoxious amendments to the constitution, he will not defend it in any course it may take. Tillman may see no sanctity in a federal law, but when he will not trust the courts of his own state to punish Negro breakers, he is preaching an individualism that is headed toward Bedlam. It is undisguised Anarchy." AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

He Reaffirms the Declaration Made by Him on the Night of the Election in 1904 Washington, D.C.-President Roosevelt will not be a candidate for a third term. All doubt on this point was dispelled last night by the authoritative statement from the White House that Mr. Roosevelt still adheres to the declaration of renunciation made on the night of the election three years ago. In the statement issued last night President Roosevelt says he has not changed and shall not change the decision communicated to the American people in 1904. It appears that the president had been awaiting the call for the republican national convention to afford the opportunity for making his position clear and unmistakable, thus leaving the field clear for Fairbanks, Taft, Knox, Foraker and other declared or candidates for the republican nomination. The president's statement follows: "On the night after election I made the following announcement: 'I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus exerting their confidence in what I have done and what I appreciate to the full the solemn responsibility this confidence imposes upon me and I shall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it. On the 4th of March next I shall have served my country and I shall constitute and a half years constitute my first term. The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination. I have not changed and shall not change the decision thus announced." A STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN. Thirteen Men Killed in a War Waged on Liquor Sellers and Gamblers. Washington, D. C.-Commissioner of Indian Affairs Leupp in his annual report says that his hope that the sale of intoxicating liquors to Indians would be greatly diminished by the employment of special officers out of the fund appropriated for the suppression of the liquor traffic has been realized beyond all expectation. During the 11 months of service of Special Officer Johnson in Indian Territory, he and his deputies have made, or directly caused to be made, 491 arrests in whiskey cases and have resulted in grand jury indictments though in number of instances the indictment was procured first and the arrest followed. The report adds: "Owing to the fact that nearly all the gambers in Indian Territory also traffic in whisky or are active abettors of whisky peddling, Mr. Johnson has had occasion to make war upon these people and his raids have resulted in the conviction of 52 gambers and the destruction of 49 gambing houses and the collection of nearly $15,000 in fines. The value of the gambing paraphernalia captured is estimated at $12,000." "To the evil men's men and one pose man have been killed in skimmishes with 'boottlegs', and ten violators of the liquor laws have met a like fate. Mr. Johnson had several narrow escapes himself, and during a good part of the time worked in the face of a reward of $3,000 offered by outlaws for his assassination."

The Ohio League of Republican clubs, in coming so boldly to the support of Senator Foraker, and the speci cific policies for which he has become known, not only for senator, but for the presidency of the United States, is but an index to the importance which attached to the defeat in Clever land of Congressman Theodore E. Burton by the Hon. Tom Johnson in the recent contest for the mayoralty of that city. Strive as they would, and did, Taft republicans could not hide the fact that the triumph of Mr. Burton was a victory for the Senator Foraker, or that Burton's defeat would sound strangely like the political death-knell of Secretary Taff—Philadelphia (Pa.) Pilot. Mrs. Hattie Conner went into Foley's restaurant on Ontario street inst Saturday and was refused service. She immediately consulted Attorney Theodore Green, who went back to the place with her to see the manager. This individual denied that she had been refused and said that she would have to wait her turn. On Monday Mrs. Conner and her attorney went to the restaurant and were given proper service, a strong communication which the latter sent to the manager of the place doubtless having the proper effect upon him. Mrs. Conner and Mrs. Green are to be complimented on the rate of the manner in which they took up and disposed of the matter. Others could emulate the example thus set and greatly benefit the race.

The consecration of St. Andrews, Wednesday morning, was really a brilliant affair. The church was crowded to the doors and Bishop Leonard, who directed the services, was assisted by the rector, Rev. R. W. Bagnall, two or three Afro-American priests from abroad, and two local white priests. Among those in attendance were several very prominent members (white) of local Episcopal churches. Though somewhat lengthy, sacrament being served to the priests only because of the fact, the priests were pitched upon the unvided attention of all present with the close. Nearly all of the priests in attendance participated. Rev. Scott Wood, of Alleghey, preached the sermon, which was pitched upon a high plane, and like its delivery, exceptionally good. He is a fine speaker. The church had been augmented for the occasion both rendered exceptionally fine music. Several of the latter's selections, particularly one with a fine obagato solo for soprano, were away above the average. During the services the rector announced that Rev.

It is understood that the analysis shows that the bullets were submitted in use by the army at the time of the Brownsville riot. Gen. Crozier, chief of ordinance, himself now concurts in the belief that the bullets submitted were not fired from Krag-Jorgensen rifles. The analysis of the bullets, with correspondence from Gen. Crozier, will be submitted to the committee on military affairs. The new evidence will without doubt be given rather earnest consideration by all the members, and it may have a great deal to do in shaping the final report of the committee.

Minister's Amendment to Usual Grace Fitted Circumstances. A Pennsylvania divine formed one of a house-party in Philadelphia where the younger son, in accordance with what the clergyman observed to be his constant habit, as soon as he had seated himself at breakfast immediately possessed himself of a large slice of bread, the quality of which he proceeded to test by a liberal mouthful. The minister, a stickler in such matters of propriety, gazed blandly at him for a moment or so; then he folded his hands and closed his eyes in preparation for grace. "For what we are about to receive," he intoned with painful emphasis, "and for what our young friend has already received, Lord, make us truly thankful."—Harner's Weekly. ECZEMA COVERED BABY. Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw—Suf fered Untold Misery—Perfect Cure by Cuticura Remedies. "My son, who is now twenty-two yeears of age, when four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I used many kinds of patent medicines, to no avail. A friend teased me to try Cuticura. At last I decided to try Cuticura when my boy was three years and four months old, having had eczema all that time and suffering untold misery. I began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better in two months; in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N. H., Oct. 24, 1905." Served Accordingly. At a men's cafe one night a young American—a barber—fell in with an Englishman. The latter was berating the Yankees for doing all manner of business in their shops and not following the better English plan of sticking to one branch. The next day he swaggered into the barber shop to be shaved. The barber gave his face an extra good soaping and left him, at the same time seating himself to read. The Englishman kept quiet for a few minutes, when, seeing his attendant reading, he blurted out: "Why don't you shave me, sir?" "You will have to go up the street for your shave," quietly replied the barber. "We only lather here." Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the disease control team.

Bread Upon the Waters When Mrs. Spaulding went to the county orphan asylum, she hadn't the remotest idea of bringing home the wee mite of humanity she did. On the contrary, she needed a half-grown girl large enough to wash dishes, run errands, and otherwise assist with household duties, now that she was getting on in years. "A good sized girl, capable and willing," was what she asked the matron for. "Come this way," answered that person; "I think we have just the girl for you." In going to the section of the building where the larger girls were domiciled they had occasion to pass through the nursery. In this room a number of little ones were playing. One dark-eyed little elf caught hold of Mrs. Spaulding's gown. "My, but isn't she pretty!" exclaimed the visitor, looking down at a dark, rogust face. "How old is she?" upon the hey the they and them Tee but a crops cattle to the Be would they that years peace "Sday," fast fade strand A that had but run "She must be almost three, near as we can reckon," answered matron. "She is of Italian parentage," she went on. "Her father, a poor, strolling musician, sick and despondent, put an end to his life. The child was found in the room with his body—dreadful, wasn't it? And such a dear little thing, too—tell the lady your name, dear." "Tildywinks," lisped the child. "Perhaps her name is Matilda," ventured Mrs. Spaulding. Suddenly the child stretched out her arms—"Mamma," she cried—"Tildy's mamma." Oh, what music in that heart to the heart of the childless woman; it was the keynote to the doorway of her heart. Only in dreams had the woman felt the clinging baby arms, the warm pressure of baby lips—only anticipation—never till now—realization. "Come, Tildy, kiss the lady goodby." It was the matron's voice she heard. She was moving on, expecting her visitor to follow, but Mrs. Spaulding was standing still, a peculiar expression on her face as she said: "I don't think I want that my girl I spoke about; I've changed my mind. I think," hesitatingly; "I'll take this one." Once outside the gray stone building she wondered at her doing. Staid, middle aged Bessie Spaulding taking a baby for adoption. She smiled as she thought of her neighbors' criticism. She was prepared for it all. Thirteen years passed. The child that Mrs. Spaulding had taken to her heart could indeed be classed as "a good sized girl." She was in her sixteenth year. A tall, beautiful girl, with dark, flashing eyes and rich brown complexion. She proved to be a great comfort to her foster parents. Through the livelong day she sang joyous notes, like the calling of a bird. Once a stranger passing, paused to listen to that sweet voice, and listening, exclaimed: "Bravo! Bravo!" She wondered what he meant—she, this innocent child of nature. "Such a strange man, mother," she said when she sat at her feet in the twilight. "Do I sing very well?" she asked. "Well enough to please mother," came the soft answer, and she was content. The next Sabbath while she sang in the village choir a dark face was uplifted in mute admiration. It was the man who called out Bravo to her while she sang. She saw him stop and speak to her foster parents. She watched her mother place her hand on her heart, while the color died from her face. That night as she lay awake she heard voices from below. It was her foster parents. She caught the words: "We must keep her from the choir, John. My God! he'll take her from us." She had a vague impression that the dark stranger was a relative. She knew the history of her own origin, that her rightful parents came from Italy. Perhaps he had come to take her away. As, but she would not go; no, never. For a time she ceased to sing. When the spring came, all her joyousness returned. She sang with the birds, notes sweeter than the nightingale. How could she be otherwise than in harmony with nature? She was sitting in the garden singing a bright little melody; it seemed to come from her very heart. She was conscious of a presence, and raising her eyes saw the stranger—he who would take her away. Gathering up her work and garden-hat, she would have rushed into the house, but he stood in her pathway. "Ah, mademoiselle, listen," he pleaded. "Do you want to become rich, famous, queen among women?" She caught the words "rich, famous." Her breath came in little gasps. Then she bent her dark head and listened. She was only a woman. To be praised, admired, gifts cast at her very feet; to become a prima donna. Ah, the temptation was too great. "Give me time to think," she pleaded; "only time to think." One night before the footlights would bring sufficient money to purchase the farm. No need then for father to toil and mother to worry. It seemed the path of duty. The little white bed with the coverlet undisturbed told its own story with the tear-stained note plinned on the dressing case. "I'm going away," it read, "to study music and have my voice cultivated. When I've grown rich and famous, I will come back. Not till then. Forgive me and good-by. Tidly." "Gone," cried the frantic mother; "gone to become an actress." To the mind of these simple country folk her future career was looked upon in the light of a disgrace. Nothing appeared quite so appalling as the life of an actress. Involuntarily they associated it with scant apparel and rouged face. She was dead to them! Ten years passed, bringing naught but adversity to John Spaulding. The crops had failed, many of his closest cattle had died. Poverty had come to them, grim, dire poverty. Better sell the place out before it would go to rack and ruin. Oh! how they loathed to part with it, the roof that had sheltered them for many years. Still, the creditors must be appeased. "She promised to come back some day," she murmured. The tears fell fast and thick on Mrs. Spaulding's faded gown. "She will find only strangers here," she said, bitterly. A letter had come from the agent that week, stating that a purchaser had been found. He, the agent, would run down with the party toward the close of the week, and now—why! it was Thursday. Surely this was the close of the week. "If Tildy were only here." She clung to the strange name through all these years. Yes, if the child were here she might comfort her. Poor old soul! Through her tear-dimmed eyes she saw a carriage drive M. "You Cannot Take It?" up the pathway, stopping at the gate. The future occupant of her home, no doubt. It would never do to let them witness her grief; she must brush the tears away. She bent her face closer over the worn coat she was mending. She heard the soft rustle of garments, while the odor of violets came to her. The woman must be rich to wear such beautiful clothes. What could she want with the farm? She almost hated her. Was she not taking the roof from over their heads? "Well, now, that's what I call a generous offer." It was the agent who spoke, bland and smiling. "What do you say to that, Mrs. Spaulding?" he went on. "The lady says you may remain for awhile; until autumn. It will give you time to look about and—" "We don't want to remain," broke in old John Spaulding, seated in the chimney corner, with hands hardened by toil folded in a helpless sort of fashion across his knee. "No, no," he muttered, "we can't take favors, leastwise from strangers. Can we, Lisbia?" His wife shook her head sadly. "It's a very kind offer," she said, "but we cannot accept it." "You cannot take it?" asked a sweet, musical voice. "Not even from? Don't you know me, mother?" Not Tildywinks? She stood before them, beautiful and smiling. It was she who had purchased the old home. "The bread cast upon the waters had indeed come back." "Tell me, Tildy, darling," asked the elder woman, looking at her through tears of joy, "you are not an actress? You don't sing in—" "Only sacred music, mother," she answered. "Knowing your views on the subject, I have respected them. In the world of music I am known as—" She whispered a name whose fame had reached even that quiet little hamlet. "Then you are Mademoiselle—" She silenced the lips with a kiss. "To the world, yes; but to you let me always be plain Tildywinks." His friend is a king who can do no wrong. And he can can err or fall. And he asks not why, knows no "you" or "T". And has room for two on the trail. So sing me no song of your critical friend. Who questions where duty may call. A friend is a friend to the bitter end. Or he is not a friend at all. "There is one advantage which a judge always has in his profession." "What is that?"

"I have a great idea," said the amateur conspirator. "What is it?" asked the willing listener. "We will say no more about protecting trees." "Yes?" "On the contrary, we will encourage their destruction in every possible manner." "Yes?" "In time we shall see our hillsides, our parks and our avenues turned to barren wastes." "And then?" "Then we will organize a parasol trust." Evident With hisses and groans an audience greeted the great scene of a new drama. All hope of success was at an end.

Prince Dabro, the young Egyptian who has come to America to study the cotton industry, said in New York the other day: "While we produce superb cotton in Egypt, the industry is not regulated there with such wisdom as you employ. Clever, indeed, is the conduct of your American cotton industry—as clever as the conduct of a young Pennsylvania ungraduate whom I heard about the other day. "This young man sat in a Louis Quinze drawing-room in conversation with a beautiful girl. The girl, looking pensively into the fire, said: "The man I marry must be both brave and clever." "Well,' said the young man, 'when we were skating on the Wissahickon, and came to the dangerous spot and broke through. I saved your life, didn't I? "She smiled at him rugishly. "That was brave,' she said, 'but it was not clever, was it?" "Yes," said he, "it was. I led you to the dangerous spot on purpose." "She threw her arms about him murmuring: 'You dear.'" SOMETHING OF A CYNIC. Papa Had Extreme Views on the Subject of Marriage. Miss Marie Cahill, the actress, chose the chorus girls for her new play, "Marrying Mary." by measurement. The Bertillon system was employed. "By this excellent system of measurement," said Miss Cahill the other day, "one gets, in a chorus girl, the real thing. Mirage is avoided. You know what a mirage is? Quite sure? Well, at any rate, I'll point out its meaning to you with a story. "A boy looked up from his book one night. "Father,' he said, 'what is a mi-rage?" "The father answered gibly from behind his paper: "The union of a man and woman till death or the law them do part." "But, said the boy, 'that's marriage, ain't it." "Same thing, sonny; it's the same thing,' replied the father. 'A man imagines he sees wonders and delights where there is nothing. Fight shy of 'em both, my boy.'" Mean Revenge. A man had been very badly treated by the proprietors of a boarding house, and when in temporary financial difficulties had been forced to leave. Some time later, smiled upon by fickle fortune, he achieved success and prosperity as a popular dentist, and soon found means to revenge his former landlady's slight. The method he adopted was simple but extremely effective, quite ruining the business of his enemy. Directly opposite the boarding house he opened his new dental establishment, and upon the largest window in bold letters appeared the following notice: "Steel-pointed boarding house teeth a specialty!" Corpse in No Hurry. Respect is due to the man on his last journey to the cemetery, and the New York cabman who was making for the Central station showed the proper feeling in driving for some distance along the procession without trying to cross it. But at last he could contain himself no longer. Turning his horse across the hearse, he said, in a cabman's whisper: "Look 'ere, my fare's in a 'urry, an' yours ain't!" BOTH GAINED Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts The notion that meat is necessary for real strength and the foundation of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent as formerly. Excessive meat eaters are usually sluggish a part of the time because they are not able to fully digest their food, and the undigested portion is changed into what is practically a kind of poison that acts upon the blood and nerves, thus getting all through the system. "I was a heavy meat eater," writes an Ills. man, "and up to two years ago, was in very poor health. I suffered with indigestion so that I only weighed 95 pounds. "Then I heard about Grape-Nuts and decided to try it. My wife laughed at me at first but when I gained to 125 pounds and felt so fine, she thought she would eat Grape-Nuts too. "Now she is fat and well and has gained 40 pounds. We never have indigestion any more and seldom feel the desire for meat. A neighbor of ours, 68 years old, was troubled with indigestion for years; was a heavy meat eater, and now since he has been eating Grape-Nuts regularly, he says he is well and never has indigestion. I could name a lot of persons who have really been cured of indigestion by changing from a heavy meat diet to Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

CO., New York 10017 HAD NO DOUBT OF HIS FATE. Mr. Jerome Evidently Was Aware of His Wife's Culinary Ability. Some weeks ago the wife of Judge Blank, of Pacific avenue, lost her cook, and since she had no other resource she rolled up her sleeves and for a week provided such meals as the judge had not enjoyed since those happy days when the Blanks did not keep a cook. The judge's delight was so great that by way of appreciative acknowledgment he presented Mrs. Blank with a beautiful ermine cloak. Quite naturally, the incident was a good deal noised about among the social acquaintances of the Blanks and a spirit of envious emulation was developed in certain quarters. It was in this mood that Mrs. Jerome recited the story to her husband. "What do I get, Jerry?" she asked, "if I will do the cooking for a week?" "Well," said Mr. Jerome, "at the end of a week, my dear, you'll get one of those long crepe veils."—San Francisco Argonaut. Daily Thought.
