TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 22. NEWEST THINGS IN DRESS NEW MODES IN MILLINERY IN HONOR DIESESS STRUCTURE TWENTY-FIFTH NEWEST IN DRI There is nothing new under the sun, unless it is in dress, and woman—that is, fashionable woman—is constantly on the qui vive to catch the latest hints of fashion, and to accommodate them to her peculiar needs and her pocketbook. Perhaps the newest novelty for the winter season is the "Beau Brummel" tie. It was first introduced across the water, and was instantly taken into feminine and fashionable favor with an enthusiasm easily to be understood—and certain to be shared when once you see for yourself just how convenient and how charming it is. So as such knowledge will increase both your comfort and your smartness this winter we show above the faithful portrait of the new tie for all to study and admire, and I may tell you that its fastening is most simply and successfully effected by the mere passing of one end through a loop of the fur, while by the same means it can be adjusted to fit the neck as closely and costly as you will. It is indeed a wonderfully protective little affair, and will be a most welcome addition to the collarless coats which continue supreme in fashion's favor, while then according to your mood of the moment or the style of your accompanying headgear you can either let its ends be pliquantly poised at one side or more demurely folded in front, the charm of variety being thereby added to its account. The more "dressy" tailor-made coats are for the most part of half-length or to the ankles. Very few short ones are seen in cloth or serge, though there are exceptions made in fur sacques and boleros; in fact, at any minute the little sacque coats may be reved, but for the moment let us content ourselves with the long graceful coats so becoming to most of womankind. In our illustration we show one of the latest tailor-mades. As can be THE LATEST TAILOR-MADE readily seen it is of the most graceful design of the very latest and most fashion-favored coat and skirt costume. It is made up in fine face cloth, which comes in all the newest shadings, and is finished in a most effective device in broad and silky braid. Its exceeding smartness is too obvious to need comment, but the long, graceful lines of the coat and the full skirt will be found very becoming to most figures. In our other single column picture we show the latest treatment of the popular stripes. In this costume the THE GAZETTE striped material is cut in different ways so as to supply their own trimming, as for instance is seen on the skirt. Bands of plain cloth in harmonizing color and a lace yoke complete the design. The hat is of white felt with fancy plume. As for the newest things in millinery we show below two very pretty but in- NEWEST TREATMENT OF STRIPES expensive hats. One of the twain is made in cinnamon brown satin brim, soft full crown in chine silk, finished off with the chou of cinnamon satin and the new ostrich mount. This is a hat which can be worn with any costume and can be made in any color desired, and made in black satin underlined with velvet would be very striking. The second hat shown in the illustration is of an equally dainty creation. It is made in a dead shade of mauve satin underlined in velvet in a darker color with a charming wreath of two shades in velvet flowers fastened in front with a bunch of deep rich cerise silk roses. This lovely hat would go well with a rather colorless gown. It can be made in all colors, and would have a very smart effect. "Death!" I would cry most gladly to the cloche hat, though I would by no means banish from recognition the mushroom hat which was the original germ of these modish monstrosities, which have already exceeded all the bounds of good taste, to say nothing of common sense, upon which I should be sorry to insist as a pivot for fashion; but, again I repeat, the mushroom hats by all means. These are made in felt or beaver, wreathed with autumn leaves, or trimmed with colored velvet choux. They are easily achieved at home, these choux. Only select the colors which contrast well, and buy three-eighths of a yard of velvet on the cross, of three different shades, gather them round together at the back, place them on the hat, and indent them with your finger wherever you think likely to look well. The more carelessly this is done the better the effect. One hat which was made after the above directions was of a dark purple, and the three colors were peacock blue, sage green and heliotrope. The hat was of the mushroom shape. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1907. And Strongly Advocate His Nomination by the National Republican Convention Next Year. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.-At the capital of the nation, where public men can be studied to better advantage than most anywhere else, the Washington Colored Ministers' union, consisting of eight different religious denominations and with some of the most learned men in the country, at its annual meeting in 1906 came out strongly in favor of Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, for the republican nomination in 1908 for president of the United States to succeed President Theodore Roosevelt, and it appealed to the ministers in all other 'denominations to swing into line and speak out in commendation and support of Senator Foraker. The historical union at the capital of the nation will have a strong influence on our voters all over the nation. James W. Poe introduced the resolutions, which were adopted by unanimous vote after they were slightly amended. The resolutions as agreed to follow. "Washington Colored Ministers union commends United States Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, for his manly course in the face of great opposition to secure a hearing for the discharged men of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry who were stationed at Brownsville, Tex., over the protections of certain citizens of that state in 1906, and who were subsequently discharged 'without honor' by him. "We also commend those members of the senate investigating committee who agreed with Senator Foraker on the report made to the senate on the evidence adduced in the hearing before the committee. "Senator Foraker rendered not only to the discharged soldiers, but also to the whole colored race and the nation, a service which entitles him to the fullest self-respecting colored man in this country. "We recognize him as an able and faithful member of the true patriot and man of great executive ability, and, believing him to possess the requisite qualifications for the high office of president of the United States, we cheerfully pledge him our united trust and we also urge our brother ministers in all denominations to speak out in commendation and encouragement of Hon. Joseph B. Foraker." Those who expressed views favoring the resolutions were: Rev. Francis J. Grimke, D. D., of the Presbyterian church, president of the union; Rev. H. Davenport, D. D., of the A. M. E. church; secretary, Rev. A. M. E. church; secretary, Rev. A. Garnett; secretary, N. Brown, D. D., of the Congregational church; Rev. S. L. Corrothers, D. D., of the Zion Methodist Episcopal church; Rev. D. E. Wiseman, D. D., of the Lutheran church; Rev. J. H. Welch, D. D., of the A. M. E. church; James W. Poe had the proxy of Rev. J. W. Smith, D. D., of the C. M. E. church, who asked that his vote be taken on the resolutions when a vote was taken on him; he was not present. Not a dissenting voice was raised against them. Although the administration is using every possible means to becloud the strength of Senator Foraker as a presidential candidate by daily dragging up and parading before the public name of other candidates or "third party" candidates at the Senate. Senator Foraker to win the nomination are growing stronger every day, and the administration forces recognize this fact. Afro-American republicans here as well as everywhere are practically a unit for Senator Foraker. His growing strength is a constant anomaly in the supporters of President Roosevelt. Of course it is easy to understand that the great majority of the "Roosevelt boomers" are only patronage hunters who wish to use the president in their favor yet awhile. No doubt the federal officeholders are being lashed into line responses, and they can have none except ones tated by their superiors. It is simply give your support or hand in your resignation. They are. They are chained. Many here think that Foraker and Hughes would be the strongest ticket that could be named next summer, while others talk of Foraker and La Porte, and yet others say Foraker and Porte, and with the senator would form a ticket that would sweep the republican party to a grand victory in 1908. James W. Poe has been holding conferences with Virginia Afro-Americans with a view of having our voters of that state, since they are no publicists, publicans, a state organization so as to keep alive their party identity and send a solid delegation to the Chicago convention pledged to Foraker and demand seats in the convention as the majority element of the republican party of the state denied who, though they are the "ili-whites", who, though they are the "ili-whites", the republican party in that state, hold all of the offices and control the party machinery simply because they are the white element of the party. He thinks the same course might be taken in any state where they are defended in color. If delegations chosen upon such grounds in any state should be ignored at Chicago, it would so deeply insult the colored people of the nation as to array their voters against any presidential candidate who would favor keeping the majority element in any state from representation in the republican national convention. There is to be a joint meeting of the A. M. E. Zion and C. M. E. churches in this city commencing February 12. There is current rumor that an effort is on to try to influence these high church prelates in the interest of an administration candidate for president, but the rumor is doubtless without foundation in truth. Should they be forced by resolution or otherwise to express a preference, it is likely that the result would be foraker. They have some weighty church matters to handle which will doubtless consume all of their time. Stewart-Jefferson and Carter-Brandon Marriages.

This morning Burton v get into the game himself. v says the county is overwhelmingly for Tatt, but that the Foraker movement must be met with drawn swords. Nothing is to be taken for granted.—Monday's Plain Dealer. ```markdown ``` WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? Morris Maschke, a member of the county republican executive committee, told Senator Foraker Sunday, so the latter told the editor of The Gazette, that only a few Afro-American voters of this county and county were trained (Frankelman) to be the Maschke who have all the rest with him for 'Taft. What do you think of this for an exhibition of monumental nerve? Maschke is a deputy in the office of the county recorder, Herman Baehr, who will seek renomination and re-election next fall. Surely he will be trying to array the Afro-American voters against his chief, Recorder Baehr, as we were arrayed against Candidate Burton in the recent campaign. All that is necessary to bring this about is for Mr. Baehr to become active as a Taft supporter and to speak out against Senator Foraker as Congressman Burton. He will be a little more Maschke talk of the kind he inculded in to Senator Foraker on Sunday last will be quite sufficient without anything from the recorder. The Afro-American voters of this community have always been refused representation in the office of the county recorder, who fact, like enough without anything else. Yet Mr. seems to be plenty coming if Maschke's loose tongue is a true indication. Laid to Rest. Norwalk, O—Aria Oakley's remains, accompanied by his father, son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde, Cochran, were shipped to Greenville, where he was buried beside his mother, who died six years earlier. He was a friend and a host of friends and relatives to mourn his loss. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. The K. P., of which he was a member, had charge of the funeral—Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Ballard were in Sandusky, Christmas, and M. S. and H. B. Easley, and Mrs. B. W. Easley's family served a four-course dinner that day. — E. A. Easley was in Milan, Thursday. More Congraulations on Burton's Defeat. New York City, Dec. 17, 1907. Dear Mr. Smith: I have not had time to congratulate you upon the great work you did in Cleveland in the recent campaign. Rest assured we watched your efforts with great interest and with great anxiety. We believed with you, that Brownsville would be venerable the same like you we saw and joined the same when the Thanking God that Brownsville was not forgotten. With best wishes and the compliments of the season, I remain cordially yours. A. B. HUMPHREY, Secretary of the Constitution League. Lifelong Friend of McKinley Dies. Warrensburg, Mo., Dec. 26—A. B. Logan, comrade and lifelong friend of President McKinley, died at his home here Wednesday. Logan and McKinley were classmates in the primary school when the civil war broke out. They served side by side, one being advanced to the rank of major, the other to captain. At the close of the war they entered the same law school and graduated in the same class. Indications point to an early resumption of the large mills at New Castle and Sharon, Pa. 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: (Continued from Last Week.) Bitter Determination to Keep Negroes Down What is the real reason for these things? Simply, as Carl Schurz said: "A bitter determination exists to crush and keep down the colored man." The old statement that "he belongs to an inferior race and should be kept in slavery" is now used as an excuse to rob him of his rights. Stripped of hypocrisy and subterfuge and, in all its nakedness, this new American creed says: "Let no black men be given an opportunity to be white, and not to be white whites." Shouting vociferously and constantly that the black is an inferior race, the demand is that the Negro shall not have an opportunity to rise in the world. Thus it is that this bitter animosity seems to be directed, not against the most ignorant and debased of the black race, but against the most influential, the best well-dressed and well-behaved. No one can thrift or culture of head or hand or heart can make them safe from insult, injury and even death. The men who commit these acts and the defenders of such actions, say: "If the Nigger tries to be like us white folks, he must be struck down—he must be taught to keep his place." It is a brutal, despicable, indefensible and un-American attitude, and as President Harrison so aptly said, will bring posterity to a heritage of woe unless this national issue be right, right this national issue, and avert a real national danger. World Watching United States' Treatment of Her Colored Citizens ment of Her Colored Citizens. Because we live in America and become accustomed to the attempt to keep down the Negroes, we must not forget that they have the sympathy of the whole civilized world in their efforts to rise; that the human race goes on to look upon a man or despise him in color, because of his skin color. In the sacred writings of both the Old Testament and the New, it is affirmed that God is no respecter of persons, and we believe His desire to be that His children, both black and white, should live together in this world in peace, justice and mutual helpfulness. South Uncivilized There are portions of our country which are declared by foreign observers to be as uncivilized as any in the world. In what other country have men been killed for the color of their skins, as was done in Atlanta, Ga., when men rushed into barber shops and mongolled to work on their trade, because they were black. In Arkansas, recently, two young colored girls were killed by white men, according to the accounts published in their own local papers, because they had slapped a white boy's face. Former Gov. Northern, of Georgia, a citizen of the highest standing, an Confederate soldier, a loyal democratic identifier, identified the benefit of his state and probably understanding conditions in the south as well as any man living, in a recent speech on the subject of murdering Negroes, said: "Many are trying to belittle this great question. It is greater than all the other problems combined. Just now we are lapse in charisman and our civilization is shipping from us. Something must be done." What can be done to eradicate this race hatred and prejudice against color? We realize the difficulty that all people have had since the earliest in dealing with race hatred. This difficulty is increased because it is a reason, no conscience; it is rooted in unimplied in prejudice, but some things can be done and should be done. We must strike, not timorously and apologetically, but openly and frankly at race discrimination and hatred wherever they show themselves, remembering ever that race hatred grows rapidly, and that its ferocious and barbaric spirit must be exterminated. We call on all citizens, and especially the foreign born, to join in the demand that the constitution to which they have sworn allegiance shall be observed by all. The Constitution and the Right. We demand the enforcement of the constitution, especially that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments be observed now. These forbid the United States or any state to limit or take away the right of suffrage by reason of race, color or previous condition of servitude and if suffrage is taken away, the states so doing shall have their representation in congress proportionately reduced. Therefore, in view of the origin and history of the republican party, and its national policies outlined in its national platform, especially in view of its important enactment of incorporating the last three great amendments into the federal constitution. Resolved, 1st: That the Republican Club of the City of New York reaffirms its previous demands for the enforcement of the constitution of the United States, both in letter and spirit. Resolved, 2d: That we denounce, regardless of locality, all attempts to create race hatred and prejudice, and its accompanying injustice, as a danger to any community and a menace to the ultimate peace and welfare of the republic. Resolved, 3d: That we insist upon the recognition of all political and civil rights of all citizens, national and local, regardless of race, color or creed. Resolved, 4th: That we demand the immediate enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments by means of the power given to congress in these amendments, which each specifically declares that "congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." Respectfully submitted by the committee. ANDREW B. HUMPHREY, Chairman, WILLIAM GREENWOOD, Secretary.

All correspondence for our next issue should be in The Gazette office on MONDAY next. So mail you newsletters at your central postoffice, and not in a mail box, on SUNDAY (tomorrow) at the latest. The Kansas City (Mo.) Times of Tuesday, December 5, 1907, quotes E.W. Curry, president of the Normal and industrial institute at Urbana, O., as talking favorably of Taft and against Senator Foraker. Many months ago, a Kentucky race publication did practically the same thing, and Mr. Curry strenuously denied the truthfulness and correctness of the charge in a letter to the editor of The Gazette. Now, what has the gentleman to say relative to the Kansas City Times' article referred to? SENATOR FORAKER. Senator Foraker's presence in the city Saturday and Sunday was an inspiration for hundreds of the most active republicans of this city and county, more than several hundred of whom called upon him and assured him of their heartiest good will and support. His speech at the Merchant Marine league banquet on Saturday evening was a "sparkling gem of the first water." It placed the greatest responsibility for the present financial panic, at the White House door, where it belongs, and was one of the strongest arguments ever made in favor of a ship subsidy. As an orator, jurist and statesman, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker has few peers in the public or private life of this nation. He stands out almost alone in bold relief, and as the candidate of the republican party for the presidency next year, would be an ideal leader, of the old school of republicanism, who would carry the party to triumphant success, beyond all question or doubt. CONGRESSMAN BURTON. Congressman Theodore Burton, who returned to the city a few days ago, has been talking very freely indeed for publication. Nearly every time he opened his mouth, and was quoted in the daily newspapers, he not only confirmed every charge The Gazette brought against him during the recent campaign, but also more than fully justified our opposition to his candidacy for mayor of Cleveland. Throughout the campaign, Mr. Burton was consistent, as well as honest, and never at any time did he deny the charges we brought against him, and upon which we appealed to our people of this community to scratch his name from the republican ticket. Therefore, in indorsing in his many interviews published in the daily papers the past week, all we said relative to his being the Taft leader in this section of the state and being unalterably opposed to Senator Foraker, he does not surprise us in the least, but certainly must surprise greatly those Afro-Americans of this community who were misguided, mislead, coerced, forced and bought into the support of his candidacy. While we do do not charge Candidate Burton with personally having adopted any questionable methods to secure support, yet it is a notorious fact that all of these things were done during the campaign, and more, too. What we wish to do, particularly at this time, is to call the attention of all of our people of this community to the righteousness of our espousal of Senator Foraker's cause at that time and the manner in which we did it. We saw clearly then what is plain to every one now. Therefore there was nothing else to do except to do our duty and that was to help to encompass the defeat of Candidate Burton. This we did, and had and have no apologies to make for so doing. What is true in our case is true in that of every other loyal Afro-American in this community who did his clear duty to Senator Foraker and the race in the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1907. recent campaign and on election day last. Now that it is clear even to those who questioned, doubted and faltered, during the recent campaign, let us all join hands and go forward to Foraker's success in the approaching state primary which the state republican committee seems determined to have held in midwinter, in February or March next. Surely there can be no member of the race in this community who will have the temerity to espouse the cause of Secretary Taft, the man who condoned disfranchisement in his Greensboro, N. C., speech of last year, and practically endorsed "Jim Crow" cars for our people at the south in a speech delivered at Lexington, Ky., this year. "FORAKER TO THE FORE." Under the above caption the Troy (N. Y.) Press, one of the ably edited daily papers of the east, states boldly an admiration for Senator Joseph Benson Foraker which cannot but be pleasing to the hosts of friends of that gentleman in Ohio. Says the Press: "The greatest republican statesman in Ohio to-day is Senator Joseph B. Foraker, and his endorsement for the presidency of the republican clubs of that state, with his formal acceptance of the candidacy for the nomination, is a political event of national significance. Standing as President Roosevelt's choice, and depending on security delegates, William H. Taft came essentially a proxy candidate, and is accepted in that light by the country at large. Faithful federal officeholders and uncompromising administration organs are expected to support Taft. Take this subservient but by no means enthusiastic element from his boom and it would be as pungy as its beneficiary is ponderous. It is inconceivable that Senator Foraker be placed in such a humiliating position, the only benefit with greatness. The only other Ohio statesman comparable with Senator Foraker is Congressman Burton, of Cleveland, and he astonished his admirers by also becoming a Rooseveltian rather than republican candidate—and for the mayoralty, too. He was needed to strengthen the wobbling Taft boom by carrying Cleveland, and with the ultimate senatorial prize dangling before his eyes he yielded to the mayoralty. He was conquer—and lost! It is ridiculous think that one of Mr. Foraker's mettle could be used in this fashion. He figures in public life distinctively as his own man; not as Roosevelt's, or anybody else. And his abilities as a constitutional lawyer, an executive, a legislator, an orator and debater are of the first rank. Besides, he has a record as a soldier in the Union army which would mean much at the polls. Therefore, among Ohio republicans there is no other man so well known as a soldier, nor to meet with honor the imminent sponsibilities of the presidential office, as Joseph B. Foraker. "Senator Foraker would solidify the Negro vote, a powerful and growing factor in many northern states, which Taft or a third term candidacy would divide dangerously. The old abolition hereditary sentiment is strong in the republican ranks, and it would fame forth brilliantly if Foraker should be the standard bearer. The president himself, Brownsville troops, punished by the president himself without trial, and in the knowledge (belief at that time) that at the worst only a part of those dismissed were guilty, struck a sympathetic chord in the country. It is felt that Foraker was fighting for a 'square deal' for the oppressed and antagonizing the administration itself in his efforts to secure it. The result of the inquiry was a signal indication of Foraker, and satisfied the president was wrong, having not only acted arrogantly, but labored under a misconception of the facts as well. "Senator Foraker receives vastly more credit today than he did at the time the debate was pending, for opposing Roosevelt's radical railway rate legislation, which has proved to be a strong contributory cause in producing the existing conditions. The railway securities of the country are worth hundreds of millions less in the expense of labor and progress, and myriads of workmen on the pay rolls of the roads at that time are out of jobs. Today it is recognized popularly that Rooseveltism has brought on industrial depression by enforcing policies which Senator Foraker eloquently protested against as unwise as the current system, a plain history of the past year furnishing plenty of evidence that Joseph B. Foraker's statesmanship is superior to that of Theodore Roosevelt. "Another characteristic element of strength in the Foraker boom is his renunciation of the senatorial candidacy, which was a probability, for that of the presidency. He declares that he will not appear before the people as an aspirant for two offices; he accepts the invitation of the republican senate to run the race for the White House, into which he will center his hopes and energies, Imperializing a comparative certainty of such great dignity and desirability for a rather remote possibility shows the spirit of the man, and his action will awaken admiration. Conscious of his capacity to fill the highest official seat of the nation, Senator Foraker thinks it would be belittling to his ambition to become the senator for the event of failure. He was never that sort of a soldier; rather, he belonged to the school of Grant, who burned the bridges behind him. "Any prospect that Senator Foraker could carry off the supreme prize of the republican national convention would produce consternation in White House circles. It is the one thing conceivable that would drive the prestige of the nomination, the mayor of Houston, and this would make the latter's nomination inevitable. In any event, Senator Foraker is a commanding figure in national politics, as well as the United States senate, and as an aggressive aspirant he must be reckoned with among the men and forces struggling for ascendancy in the republican national convention of 1908." Upon his nomination next year or that of some one whom he will name, depends the success of the republican party at the polls in November, 1908.

OHIO AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE Dclaration of Principles. "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emolument. "As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and all justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. "As loyal and faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achieved when defeat seemed imminent, without any resultant advantages to ourselves. "We are as loyal and as true today as ever, but have grown tired of being considered as pawns in the great game of party politics and are determined to call a halt. "The presidential embroglio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and aligning our forces for a triumphant campaign against the combined armies of hatred, prejudice and indifference toward us within the party ranks. "President Roosevelt has not been uniformly just and square in his dealings with the Afro-American and cannot be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the south wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favorite uncles had fought under the stars and bars during the rebellion. If he was proud of the fact that they fought age and shoot their bears in servile bondage and shoot their bears in glorious emblem of our country, the same stripes, he is not in a postpint to recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Alberge, Jurgeen Benjamin P. Salmon P. C. O'Connor, Jimimental J. Brown, the sainted Lincoln and those 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 punishment or justice, whether it be election to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But whatever his personal ambition may be, we believe in the inherent right of every American citizen to "stand pat" whenever any individual, class or organization of men seek to secure his elimination from public life, whether it be the president of the United States. "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 we also believe that conditions we will talk 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 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 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 unlawful branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military manpower of the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore be it. Resolved, That we, as law-abiding American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. Wm. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1804, indicate a lack of republican principle, integrity, and because his indemnity the diamissal without trial of 167 of our 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 hopor 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.

"swept out" by men and boys who black their faces to resemble sweeps, and in other places it is "rung out" by muffled bells until the midnight hour, then allowing the clear notes to sound thereafter. The "hot pint" of the wasa sail drink at the midnight hour is still quite common. The front and back doors are opened at 12 o'clock also, to let the bad spirits out and the good spirits in, while all peacock feathers are thrown away before this event last ill luck follow during the year. Also bundles of bits of money, bread, wood, coal and salt, are placed on the door steps and if any one calls whose initials may be formed by straight lines, like A or F, he is admitted, given a present and passed out the back door. To admit one having curved initials, like C or O, means bad luck for a year. N NEW YEAR is not the day in the United States that it is in foreign countries. In early New England days it received quite a setback by the Pilgrims, who believed that its observance was a recognition of veneration of the Roman god, Janus, he of the two faces—the one looking back in retrospect and the other looking forward in hope and anticipation. Yet the mythology of the new world of Father Time, falling and dying and a newborn personification rising out of his decreptitude, is no less pagan in its essentials. Both are nevertheless beautiful and expressive and worthy of perpetuity. "Watch night" is probably the most distinctive feature of the coming of the new year. Religious services are held in almost every church and sometimes three or four sermons are preached. There are also many gatherings in clubs and homes "to watch the old year out" and they are occasions of much revelry and the repeating in humorous ways the superstitions believed in in olden times. Much of the social prestige of the day remains, such as calling and exchanging gifts, is due to the early Dutch setters, who kept the old customs alive until the middle of the last century. RUSSIA. 1 N THE country town of Russia New Year's is the great day for the children. Boys fill their pockets with dried peas and wheat and go in bands from house to house. People they have any grudge against are doused with the peas, while they shower the wheat upon their friends. A curious custom also is festooning the handsome horse in the village and leading him to the house of a nobleman. The pea and wheat shooters follow in droves. Both guests and horse are admitted to the parlor of the lord and the guests receive presents of small coins. The origin of the custom is not known, but it is interpreted to mean a greeting of the peasants to their lord. While the horse is being entertained in the parlor, there comes to the house a drove of oxen, goats, hogs, etc., gaily decorated and led by the children. These are not admitted, but admired from the window by the lord. Next appear old women with barnyard fowls, decorated with evergreens and berries. These are given to the lord as a present. FRANCE. N EUROPE it was the custom, until the time of Oliver Cromwell, of exchanging presents on New Year's day. But in the western world generally the practice has been absorbed by the Christmas festival. N EUROPE it was the custom, until the time of Oliver Cromwell, of exchanging presents on New Year's day. But in the western world generally the practice has been absorbed by the Christmas festival. There is, however, a striking exception to this rule in France. New Year's is the chief festival of the year, and the "gift" is the chief feature of the festival. It is believed that the French observance of the day combines the ancient customs of the Druids, Romans and Christians, since it involves the highest homage to womanhood, a saturnian effect in liberties to bondsmen, and the gala day of romping freedom to children. New Year's day is everybody's day. Each one of these features has its special history which would require the space of a special story to tell. TURKEY. QUAINT New Year custom is observed in the Turkish ori-ent, where the Greek subjects of the sultan live. It is the special event in Caesarea, where St. Basil was born. New Year's eve is more often called A SCOTLAND. S IN France, so in Scotland, New Year's is the chief festival of the year. The eve of the day and the day itself are called "Daft Days," or crazy days. And the eve separated from its "daf" associate is called "Hogma." A St. Basil's eve. The city is decorated and the shops teem with toys, sweetmeats and festoons. Women, days before, squat and joke around a low table making St. Basil's cake, of which they bake great quantities. On New Year's eve the Rajah boys in droves go on the rounds of houses, knocking at doors, until the master of the house responds, according to the custom: nay". But what this means, no one seems to know. The application of the term is in a custom of children to enrobe themselves in a street and go the rounds of houses on New Year's eve, knocking at the doors and crying "Hogmanay". In response they always get an oat cake, rich with fruit, and sometimes, in addition, some cheese and goodies. This is their "Hogmanay". Housewives are kept busy days in advance preparing little cakes for their ghost-like visitors and it is regarded as something of a bad omen to run short and not be able to supply the demand. While "Hogmanay" is the usual cry it is often supplemented by "trolloily" and the more daring will add the privileged rhyme: Rise up, gude wife, and shake your fea- Let the boys in at once. Give them money, fruit and all that they can carry of St. Basil's cake. Come on servants, fill their pockets while they give us their song. The boys then sing a customary song, ending by calling down blessings upon the household. THE FAR EAST. N JAPAN the New Year's day of the Gregorian calendar is observed. It is a universal rule there and in China that all debts must be settled at the end of the year. But the feature of the day in Japan is I Dinna think that we are beggars: We are bairns come to play in calling on friends and the giving of "awabl," a kind of mussel shell, as emblem of times long ago when their forefathers were of necessity very frugal. This is also interpreted as a warning against luxury. In China the people meet in the streets on New Year's day and salute each other with: "Kung-h! Kung-h!!"—I humly wish you joy," or "Sin-h!!"—"May joy be yours." The cities are gayly decorated with lanterns and artificial flowers, with red paper mottoes on the houses. Where blue paper is seen it is a sign that there has been a death during the year. GERMANY. N MANY German cities, and especially in Berlin, New Year's eve, or otherwise known as Sylvester's Nacat, is the occasion of a rough yet ludicrous onslaught upon innocent and unwary persons who are N MANY German cities, and especially in Berlin, New Year's eve, or otherwise known as Sylvester's Naat, is the occasion of a rough yet ludicrous onslaught upon innocent and unwary persons who are caught wearing a tall silk hat. The victim is greeted by the cry "Hut ab, Hut ab," and ere he is aware his fine hat is smashed down over his ears by a crowd of jokers who surround him. This custom had its origin in the riots on Sylvester's day, 1848, when the lower classes resorted to this method of displaying their hostility to the bourgeoisie, most of whom wore the high hat. BELGIUM PRETTY little custom is observed in Belgium. Time has given the children the privilege on New Year's day of locking up their papas and mammas, aunts or uncles, if they can, and demanding a ransom A The salutation, "Prosit Neujahr," however, is more universal and better characteristic of the New Year celebration by the Germans. Thus greeted, one is made a captive by custom and must pay a ransom, not, however, until he has acknowledged his captor's sovereignty by the answer, "Meister." for their liberty. The little people cause the keys to rooms and closets to mysteriously disappear days, and sometimes weeks, before the festival. An unwary auntie who chances to be caught in a room or closet by the shamming and locking of the door by the little brigands has no recourse in the light of custom and tradition, but to promise anything that is demanded of her. The ransom to be paid is more often some sweets; and this has given rise to the terms "sugar aunt" or "sugar papa" which is applied to the captive. ENGLAND. C USTOMS in England are very similar and in many cases interchangeable with those of Scotland. Even to this day the ancient salutation, "Wass hael," or "To your health," is joyfully given The Happy Man. Happy is the man who has nothing to swear off and therefore swears off nothing. He will not have to invent reasons for smashing his pledge a few days hence. and this song is sung: Wassell! Wassell over the town Our toast it is white; our ale it is brown; Our bowl it is made of the maple tree. We be good fellows all! I drink to thee.

Pattern No. 210.—The comfort and convenience of a work apron that covers the entire skirt is apparent as a glance to the woman who has little duties to perform about the GHIEFS OF BUREAUS GLASKED SURGEON GENERAL RIXEY IS SUES A STATEMENT. When Read Between the Lines It Shows the Reason for Admiral Brownson's Resignation. Washington, D. C.-That a serious breach exists between the bureau of navigation and the bureau of medicine of the navy, involving the question of the responsibility of the latter bureau was made apparent last night in a statement issued by Surgeon General Presley M. Rixey, of the navy, in which he touches upon the circumstances leading up to the probable selection by the president of a medical institution to preside over the relief over the protest of Rear Admiral Willard H. Brownson, chief of the bureau of navigation, who on Tuesday sent his resignation to the president. While disclaiming exact knowledge as to the cause of Admiral Brownson's resignation, the surgeon general's office leaves little room for doubt that the controversy he reviews was a potent factor. General Rixey maintains that hospital ships, as a rule, always have been commanded by medical officers, with a sailing master and civilian crew for purposes of navigation. This particular vessel, he says, formerly belonged to the navy and was commanded by a medical officer when used as a hospital ship. In attempting to unify the medical services of the army and the navy, he says that a joint army and navy board of medical officers which was convened by executive order more than a year ago recommended that hospital ships should be commanded by the navy, and that recommendation was approved by both the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy in general orders. "The internal administration of the bureau of medicine and surgery," he says, "has been in my opinion too much interfered with by the bureau of navigation. This interference has at least used no concern as to how I could meet the needs of those under our care." The hospital ship, Relief, he says, should now be with the battleship fleet on its cruise, but he adds that the bureau of navigation thought otherwise and the fleet of 15,000 men, with its auxiliaries, will be without a hospital ship until it arrives at Magdalena Bay, where it will be months from now. He adds that he can expect to be admired. Admiral Brownson should be specially interested in the officering of hospital ships, as his duties lie in another direction, and that he should not interfere in a matter pertaining entirely to the bureau of medicine and surgery. A TRAGIC VOYAGE IS ENDED. American船 Atlas Comes into Port and its Crew Tell a Thrilling Story. San Francisco, Cal. — The American ship Atlas dropped anchor here Tuesday night, 275 days out from Baltimore. It ended a voyage made tragic by a collision off Cape Horn, attended by the sinking of another vessel, the drowning of the fated craft's captain and the captain's wife, mutiny on the decks of the Atlas and death among the crew. On June 6 at 6 p. m. the Atlas struck the Norwegian bark Viking, Capt. Peterson, bound from Hamburg to Callao. Both were badly damaged by the contact, but the bark fared worst. Thirteen of the crew of the Norwegian bark boarded the American ship, crawling over tangled shrouds and dangling booms, but Capt. Peterson and his wife were not among those who made the dangerous transit, but it was too dark to render aid, though they stood by during the night, and next morning the Viking had disappeared. The Atlas put into Rio Janeiro for repairs, leaking badly. On the way to this port a mutiny took place among the crew over some trouble with the mate, but it was easily quelled. The collision off Cap Horn three of the ship's crew met death. On May 23, J. Schumacher and Charles Nolan, seamen, fell from the jibbom and were drowned. On June 15 John Hook, sailmaker, died and was buried at sea. When the ship arrived here the captain's son and the third officer were ill and the vessel was ordered into quarantine.

Her mother made many efforts to have her correct this strictly primeval habit. One day there was to be company at the table and the mother said: "Now, Mabel, Mrs. Brown is to dine with us to night, and I want you to act at the table just as nicely as she does. Please don't "mush" your soup." Mabel promised faithfully to follow the example set by Mrs. Brown and the dinner opened with every promise of a fine time. However, Mabel was using a pair of very sharp eyes on Mrs. Brown, and in an instant blurted forth at the top of her voice: "Oh, mamma, Mrs. Brown is 'mush-ing' all." Fabric Practically Everlasting.

Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch —Cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost of Seventy-Five Cents. "My little boy, when only an infant of three months, caught the Cuban Itch. Sores broke out from his head to the bottom of his feet. He would itch and claw himself and cry all the time. He could not sleep day or night, and a light dress is all he could wear. I called one of our best doctors to treat him, but he seemed to get worse. He suffered so terribly that my husband said he believed he would have to die. I had almost given up hope when a lady friend told me to try the Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuticura Soap and applied the Cuticura Ointment and he at once fell into a sleep, and he slept with ease for the first time since two months. After three applications the sores began to dry up, and in just two weeks from the day I commenced to use the Cuticura Remedies my baby was entirely well. The treatment only cost 75c, and I would have gladly paid $100 if I could not have it cheaper. I feel safe in saying that the Cuticura Remedies saved his life. He is now a boy of five years. M.

A state senator of New York says he was riding in the smoking car on a little one-track road in the northern part of the state two weeks ago, and in the seat in front of him sat a jewelry drummer. He was one of those wide-awake, never-let anyone-get-the-better-of-him style of men. Presently the train stopped to take water and the conductor neglected to send back a flagman. A limited express, running at the rate of ten miles an hour, came along and bumped the rear end of the first train. The drummer was lifted from his seat and pitched, head first, against the seat ahead. His silk hat was jammed clear down over Ms cars. He picked himself up and settled back in his seat. No bones had been broken. Then he pulled off his hat, drew a long breath and, straightening up, said: "Hully gee! Well, they didn't get by us, anyway!"
