IN UNION IN CREATE LIBERTY TWENTY-FIFTH The TAIL MADE The TAILOR MADE GOWN NEW AND SMART TAILOR-MADES To have early knowledge of a new fashion is interesting and pleasant, and it is our privilege in this week's letter and pictures to introduce to our readers the latest productions in the way of the coat and skirt costumes, which will be one of the features of spring costumes. The first gown shown in our large illustration is laid out in a beautiful quality cloth whose dark blue is interwoven with an almost invisible stripe, the scheme of platting on the admirably hanging skirt being very smart and new, while the coat, whose fronts are of the most correct cut-away style, introduces a repetition of these plats at the back with most excellent effect. A wide and silken black braid is an effective trimming, and you must note and admire its novel arrangement, with buttons of entwined gold and black cord and many looped ends to match, the back, too, being provided with this same decorative finish—altofter a notably smart costume. The other costume has a new and fine striped tweed for its fabric, one very effective color scheme showing a blending of blue and brown while the clever and varying way in which these stripes are arranged on the strappings of the skirt and coat, is, in itself, enough to make the costume notable. But then there is also a waistcoat of blue cloth embroidered in gold, while the two colors of the costume are combined on the collar and the faecings, and quaint little tabs of braid, outlined with cloth, play their part in this scheme of smartness. However, these whisperings of new fashions need not cause too great aprehension, for the costumes purchased last fall will do duty bravely up until the end of April or even beyond, if you have been wise enough not to select those with sleeves too obtusely Japanese, these being the main points where the differences of yesterday and to-morrow may come to be observed. There is nothing authentic yet announced from the high quarters where the models come from. Speaking of sleeves reminds me that several of the most modern evening frocks are altogether lacking in sleeves, the place of the sleeve being taken by a small frill of lace over the shoulder, or a deep fall of fringe; fringe being among the revivals of our immediate fancy. It is rumored that vivid color is to run riot in the orders of our spring fashions, but I would rather vote for its charm in the dull winter days; and I gazed yesterday, with considerable satisfaction, on a popular actress in her everyday clothes. These included a golden-brown cloth skirt, a striped velvet coat to match, bearing a little brocaded waistcoat of peacock blue, brown, red and gold, a huge red fox's boa and muff, and a tawny-tinted felt hat, gay with a dark peacock-blue scarf on one side, and a bunch of pheasants' plumes on the other. That was a gorgeous combination, tawny brown and peacock blue, and all dark beauties would do well to consider its possibilities. I have met, too, that dull shade of peacock blue with considerable pleasure in cloth, fashioned in a princess dress with trimmings of skunk, and thick string-colored guipture, and this was crowned with a hat of peacock blue, the crown bearing a band of skunk, fastened at one side with three enormous roses of blue and bronze velvet. A short, loose sacque of dark peacock blue was worn with this, sitlogether a most artistic circumstance. It is very pleasant to realize that the new evening gowns—those of the immediate moment, and those which are being prepared for the early spring season—are things of real beauty! They are delightfully picturesque, and the sleeves are specially attractive. The latter are almost invariably made of the thinnest and most transparent materials, and they are arranged in such a manner that they permit the whole arm to be seen even while they THE GAZETTE pretend to drape it. It was declared some weeks ago that many of the new evening bodices were being made without sleeves, or practically so, and this statement still holds good, but side by side with these sleeveless bodices we have others which show "Angel" draperies of chiffon, tulle or other transparent material. These draperies fall low under the arms, and thus form a most becoming background for the delicate white flesh. On the outer side they are open right up to the shoulder, but sometimes a light clasp is arranged, to hold the fragile material together, just above the elbow. Women with thin arms will find sleeves of this kind infinitely flattering, and the same applies to those whose arms are not quite so white as they could wish! Apropos the latter let me suggest that a regular course of friction with olive oil at night will do very much. Sylvia Cohen A VISITING TOILET. Made of Cashmere with the New Wide Sash of Black Satin and Vest of "Ireland." The oil should first be thoroughly well rubbed into the skin with a firm circular motion, and the arms should then be briskly frictioned, from shoulder to wrist, with a rubber skin brush. The action of the brush should be regular and sufficiently prolonged. The blood will quickly come to the surface of the skin and the arms will assume a most healthy shade of crimson. After the friction another coat of oil should be lightly rubbed on, and then, just before going to bed, a piece of clean wadding passed over the skin, to remove any oil which has not been absorbed. If this course be continued regularly for several weeks a great change will be seen in the condition of the arms. The skin will become softer and finer, and the arms themselves will look beautifully white in the evening. Just the same treatment is excellent for the neck and shoulders, but care must be taken to make the frictions in a circular manner. Watercress Farms In England. The development of watercress growing in Dorset, England, is enormous. One firm near Bere Regis employs no fewer than 40 men in the cultivation, cutting, and packing of cress, and the proprietor publicly stated a few days ago that he pays £2,000 a year in wages. The watercress, which is scientifically cultivated, is sent to all parts of the country. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1908. AN INGRATE! AN INGRATE! AND A DISGRACE TO THE RACE ARE THE FEW OPPOSING AND SUPPORTING THE TAFT CANDIDACY-WILL RALLY TO FORAKER'S STANDARD, THOUGH ROOSEVELT AND HIS HOSTS BE AGAINST THEM-RINGING Jackson, Miss.—Mississippi, too, is "dead in earnest" in its support of the candidacy of Senator J. B. Foraker for the republican nomination for the presidency. The following editorial from the Capital City Journal, of this city, is mighty interesting reading: "There never was a time in the history of republican politics when there was such a unanimity of sentiment on any one man than there is today on Senator J. B. Foraker, of Ohio, in this state for the republican nomination. The masses and the classes just voluntarily proclaim their allegiance to this noble chieftain, and from every corner of the state they come pledging him their unswerving support, and you can see that they mean it. It is really a heartfelt admiration and devotion to this grand old champion of human rights and captain of the old guard. Every true republican of the state of Mississippi today really lifted up at the mere mention of the name of this greatest of America's great citizens; their pulse is quickened and the venerable name never fails to strike a responsive chord in the heart of every true republican. And the same is true not only in Mississippi but throughout the length and breadth of this broad land of ours. He is rapidly gaining ground. The entire delegation from Florida is for Foraker and has so declared. The Ohio Society of New York practically declared for Foraker and against Taft when they gave Senator Foraker the right of way over Mr. Taft on the night of the 1st inst. POLITICS OF BISHOPS. "I do not think we ought to be afraid to command Senator Foraker for the noble stand he has taken in the Brownsville affair. As surely as I live, if the administration does not make out a clear case against the discharged soldiers, then the administration need not expect an agent to the courage and thinking voters of the race."—BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS. "The Negroes have been stirred as they never have been before by President Roosevelt's mistake in discharging the colored battalion over the Brownsville incident. Unless this injustice is rectified and the colored people are given a 'square deal', they will never entertain the thought of supporting Mr. Roosevelt's nominee. I have the authority to support Senator Foraker, and am for him for the nomination."—BISHOP WESLEY J. GAINES. "Colored delegates to the national convention, unless they are officeholders, will rally to the Foraker standard, and the race as a unit will vote for him if he is made the standard-bearer of the party."—BISHOP C. E. SMITH. "There is a feeling of unrest among the colored people, and they attribute the causes to the failure of the Senate, few of them would support him now, but the great majority don't believe him sincere."—BISHOP SALTERS. ```markdown ``` "How can any Negro republican of Mississippi, or the country, for that matter, be for any one in this campaign save Mr. Foraker unless it be some one who holds an office under Mr. Roosevelt, and of course in that case he is excused, for the world, plainly see why he is for Mr. Roosevelt's man Friday. For these we have no word of consure. Go ahead, boys. We know where your heart is. But fortunate for all, they at this time are few, and so very few that we need not lose our ammunition upon them. But we are speaking of the rank and file. Any Negro who is unmindful of the race's interest; any Negro who is unaware of any danger; any Negro who is a victim to that greatest of all sins, the sin of in gratitude, as to not stand with heart and hand, might and main, to do everything honorable within his power to procure the nomination and election of Senator J. B. Foraker, is unmany, ignoble, an ingrate and a disgrace to the race, and should be watched closely. Senator Foraker spent thousands of his lars out of his own pocket to get up evidence in the Brownsville case, to say nothing of the $5,000 he forced congress to pay that these black men might get a fair trial commensurate with common law and common justice. Senator Foraker more than this has made great sacrifices and called down upon his own head the wrath and indignation of Negro's enemies throughout the country, to say nothing of the inveterate enemy he made for himself out of the crowned head," Mr. Roosevelt, by demanding that these men be given justice, though they are black, though of a degraded race and an oppressed people, a yet are free-men; more, they are American citizens. He demands for them equal justice before the law because they have been denied them by Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States." CAN'T "STOMACH" TAFT'S Candidacy Because of His Open Alliance with the Prejudiced South. Feb. 17, 1998 Editor The Post, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The following item from the local columns of my paper of February 19, 1998, H relative to an alleged endorsement of the candidacy by Cleveland, Ohio, Afro-Americans: It transpires that there were eleven in attendance upon the Attucks club meeting last week, and in spite of Martin and Fleming's pleading and importing, only two or three bodies that assembled against Taft tittition. And the Leader and Cleveland Plain Dealer had the "gall" to announce a morning or two afterwards that "Cleveland Negroes were for Taft." Some one ought to break their "pipe dream." When Afro-Americans support Taft they endorse dischancement and "Jim Crow" cars in the south, as he has practically done in the state, huskegue and Lexington speeches. We do not foolish or crazy enough to do that. The same condition as far as the Taft candidacy and my people are concerned, obtains throughout Ohio. It is the rare exception when even a few of thousands of Afro-Americans in any community in Ohio or elsewhere can be induced by money or the promise of political jobs or ought else to sign Taft petitions or in any way support his alleged candidacy. It is beyond the reach of speeches at Greenhous, N. C., and Tuskegee, Ala. in 1906, condoned dischristening, and in his Lexington, Ky., speech of 1907 did the same thing for "Jim Crow" cars in the south. Also because in the Brownsville matter when he did finally turn about and follow his chief lead, he out-Roosevelt Roosevelt in his misadventure, Bataille, Bataille, and their people. His full and complete sympathy with the south and lack of the same for Afro-Americans has more recently been made clear in speeches the secretary of war has delivered at- Grand Rapids, Mich., and Kansas City, Mo. As a matter of fairness to Cleveland and Ohio Afro-Americans, 99 per cent of whom are for Senator Foraker. First, they are for Senator Foraker. They will never support Roosevelt or Taft for anything. I ask the publication of the above. Ohio has more than 40,000 Afro-American voters. Yours respectfully. HARRY C. SMITH. TAFT AND WATSON.

Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1902 1894 to 1904 1800 to 1902 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 No loyal, honorable and intelligent Afro-American can possibly support the Taft candidacy or endorse Roosevelt. They are not for but against us and have given us too much proof of the fact. Secretary Taft again told the south in his speech at Kansas City recently, to go on disfranchising its Negroes. At Lexington, Ky., last year he showed them how to continue and extend their "Jim Crow car" system. And they ask Negroes to vote for him! At Greensboro, N. C., in 1906, Secretary Taft in a speech not only condoned but encouraged the south to disfranchise its Negroes. And they ask Negroes to sign Taft petitions and to vote for him! Well, the great majority of our people are neither fools, crazy, that ignorant nor disloyal. Ohio Afro-Americans speak out everywhere you go, like the MEN you are—for Foraker and against Taft and Roosevelt. Afro-Americans are for Senator Foraker first, last and all the time, is the cry one hears from all sections of the country. It had better be heeded, too; by certain people before it too late. We are perfectly satisfied that sane, sensible old-time republicanism will be in charge of the next national convention, and not the southern sympathizing, socialistic, populistic, new-fangled nothing or democracy represented by Roosevelt and his "man," Taft. It transpires that there were 11 in attendance upon the Attucks club meeting week before last and in spite of Alex. Martin and Tom Fleming's pleading and importuning, only two or three besides themselves signed their Taft petition. The Cleveland Leader and the Cleveland Plain Dealer had the "gall" to announce a morning or two afterwards that "Cleveland Negroes were for Taft." When Afro-Americans support Taft they endorse disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars in the south, as he has practically done in his Greensboro, Tuskegee and Lexington speeches. We are not foolish, crazy or disloyal enough to do that. The intelligent Afro-American who has lived long in the north and who is the least bit observing and loyal, KNOWS that mixed public schools with or without Afro-American teachers, are infinitely preferable to equally as good "separate" schools with or without members of the race as teachers. There is nothing more helpful in very many ways, all through life, not only to those enjoying it but also to all of our people of any community, in this section, than the association our boys and girls have with those of the many other classes of Americans in the public schools. For twenty years there has been, too, a very gratifying steady increase in the number of Afro-American teachers in the mixed schools of the north. The postmaster of Athens, Ohio, is not the only live, active republican who in recent months, has accused President Roosevelt of breaking up the republican party. T. M. Bloedgut, chairman of the republican State league of Georgia, sent a fierce note to "Teddy" last week along the same line, that must have burned forty-eleven holes in the mails while en route. It was jam-full of facts, just as was ex-Congressman Dudley Coleman's four or five column interview in a recent issue of the Washington, D. C. Post, on the havoc wrought among the republicans in the south by the "king of Brownsville," imperialistic "Teddy." Mr. Coleman, who is a Louisiana republican of the "old school," told the story forcefully, truthfully and carefully, "giving names, dates, etc." and made such a strong case that ex-Gov. Pitt Kel- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1908. logg, also of Louisiana, another old-time republican, indorsed every word of it. Mercy! how the Rough Rider colonel is getting it these days. No more than he deserves, however. Bishop Elias Cottrell, of Holly Springs, Miss., repeats an old and nearly worn out untruth when he says: "President Roosevelt, in the distribution of federal patronage, has done as much for the colored race as any of his predecessors since the days of Lincoln." The fact is there has not been a president since Lincoln who has done so little for the Afro-American, in the way of federal patronage, as Roosevelt, unless it is McKinley. Then, too, not even McKinley has so grossly insulted, abused, mistreated and persecuted Afro-Americans generally as this same individual, President "Brownsville" Roosevelt. Good Bishop Cottrell has surely been "asleep at the trell" for at least a year and a quarter. The "live wire" (Brownsville) has been touched by Roosevelt and his "man," Secretary "Disfranchisement, Jim Crow Cart" Taft. BISHOPS LOYAL The bishops of Zion A. M. E. and the Colored M. E. churches, while in session at Washington, D. C., last week, spoke out in no uncertain tones for the race and against the Taft-Roosevelt candidacy, and in favor of Senator Foraker. This is as it should be, for just at this time more than ever before in our career as a race since the days of reconstruction, do we need it. The day is past, thank God, when even the president of the United States and his secretary of war can treat our people as they have in the Brownsville matter and in various speeches and special messages to the congress, since, without its being resented. Nor will we permit our only outspoken and aggressive friend in the United States senate to be kicked to political death, without placing beside him the big fat dead (politically) body of Secretary "Disfranchisement, Jim Crow car" Taft or that of his chief, President "Brownsville" Roosevelt should he perchance become the next republican presidential candidate. NEW TAFT "JIM CROWISM." In an interview published in The Press on Tuesday evening, the reporter quoted the editor of The Gazette as saying that "95 per cent of the colored voters of Ohio will vote the democratic ticket if the republican national convention nominates Taft." We did not say that they would vote the democratic ticket but that they would not vote for Taft. There is, however, no danger of Taft's being the nominee. We also said that Congressman Burton's activity against Foraker and for Taft would cost him many votes, this fall, and not what we were quoted as saying relative to "Burton's quitting his Taft allegiance." It has just leaked out that Afro-Americans were not wanted at the recent Tippiecane club banquet and that the 50 or 60 waiters were excluded from the room when Secretary Taft was speaking. At the close of the banquet an effort was made to get them to go into the banquet hall and shake hands with him. Be it said to their everlasting credit, only a few would do so, and those that did are not to be blamed because they knew no better. Taft is certainly carrying his "Jim Crowism" to the very heart of Afro-Americanism. A NEW TAFT VERSION: In his speech at Grand Rapids, Mich., on February 12, Secretary Taft, in speaking of President Lincoln's attitude toward the institution of slavery, said: "He maintained that the words 'all men are created free and equal' included the colored as well as the white man, but what he meant was that they were entitled to the bread they earned." In plain words, Mr. Taft says he (not Lincoln, or any other broad-minded man, for that matter) would change the meaning of the phrase "all men are created free and equal" when it comes to applying it to the "colored man" so that it would mean that Negroes were entitled only to the bread they earned and not to the same civil rights all other Americans enjoy, or to equal opportunity etc., in common with others of the many various classes of people that dwell in this or any other land. Really, is Secretary Taft out-herding the prejudiced south in his anti-Negro propagandism, as he out-Roosevelted Roosevelt in the Brownsville matter? It would seem so. And still there are a few Negroes who have the "gall" to announce themselves as favorable to the man's alleged candidacy. Lord have mercy! Organized a Missionary Society. Bellefonteain, O.-M.

HEADS IT — THE ROOSEVELT- TAFT ADMINISTRATION OUR WORST ENEMY — THE HARM IT HAS DONE US. The positive and notoriously hostile attitude of the government of our rep public toward its citizens of color under the present republican adminis- tration and the approach of the party nominating conventions in this year 1908 produce a crisis for one-eighth of the citizenship of these United States of America. The open alliance between the president and the nulli- fiers of the constitution in 'the south constitutes the most flagrant collusion A. BISHOP WALTERS between a republican president and the southern democrats since the emancipation of the American slaves 45 years ago today, save in the case of Andrew Johnson at the close of the civil war or of Rutherford B. Hays at the close of the reconstruction. But the purpose of the present chief executive of the United States serbe in official documents an inferior grade of education for one class of citizens, and to thus officially brand that class as concealers of criminals and as rapists, the defaming and discharging in disgrace of more than a hundred soldiers, all colored, without a trial or chance to be heard in court, and the defaming and constitutional rights visited upon colored citizens unprecedented in our country's history. The placing of the nation's sanction upon the segregation of citizens for and because of color in public travel but completes the federal maltreatment of the colored citizens under the present republican administration, leaving him triumph of rights, branded and in contempt. In view of these unusual and extraordinary conditions, in view of the attempt of the present czarocratic regime to perpetuate itself in power in imperial fashion; in view of the open candidacy for the republican party's nomination for the presidency of the United States, the officer has in public speech in the south condoned their disfranchisement of citizens for color in admitted violation of the federal constitution, and who has supinely endorsed in toto the brutal and automatic discharge of colored soldiers without trial by executive decree, you as a cabinet officer has for two generations by its solid support and with a loyalty that sacrifices friends, the chance to make terms with the enemy and even life itself, kept the republican party almost continuously in power, but one who is free from party obligation, are colored men, and of avowed friends to be held in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., on the 7th day of April, 1908, to counsel together as to the wisest course to be pursued politically by the colored citizens of the country especially those unrobbed of the ballot who are willing to use this weapon for the rights and liberties of their class, unaware of present abnormal condition of affairs. This conference will have special reference to what demands shall be made of political parties as to the national platform and most particularly to the candidates for the presidential nomination most deserve the support of the forced vote. Please come prepared to make a stand, equal rights and for constitutional liberty for all in these United States without regard to race, color or creed. ALEXANDER WALTERS, President Afro-American Council. H. SCOTT, President Suffrage League of Boston and Vicinity. WM. MONROE TROTFFR President New England Suffrage Leader WILL NOT SUPPORT TAFT. His Defeat Predicted if Nominated—Ohio Will Go Democratic—"Fake" Taft Clubs. Washington, D. C.—Last Sunday's Post, the leading local daily paper, contained the following of prime interest to Ohioans: That the republican party will suffer defeat at the polls next November in the event Secretary Taft is named as the standard-bearer, is the prediction of many of the colored Methodist leaders holding their conferences in this city. Dr. R. S. Stout, of Little Rock, Ark., secretary of the church extension department of the colored Methodist Episcopal church, and president of Williams Industrial college, says: "The nomination of Secretary Taft on behalf of the president for president equivalent to the defeat of the ticket if Mr. Taft is placed in nomination by the republicans and William Jennings Bryan by the democrats, I am firmly of the opinion that Mr. Bryan will be elected. There is nothing that has a lore in the hearts of the Negroes in America like this Brownsville affair, many Negroes construing that the Negroes hope of the Negro for that "square deal," so loudly preached from the White House." Won't Support Taft. Wont support taint. P. W. Chavers, of Columbus, O., editor of the Ohio Standard World, who is attending the conference of bishops. and who has been active in Ohio politics, said: "The Negroes in Ohio will not support Secretary Taft for the nomination. Repeated reports go out to the effect that Negro clubs have been organized in the interest of Taft, but in nine cases out of ten they are 'fake clubs,' or at least clubs composed of Negroes who have no standing in the community. The well-thinking Negro, and the Negro who has the interest of the race at heart, will not vote for Taft, and if Taft is nominated to any organization effort to 'eliminate' an mentor, Joseph B. Foraker from Ohio or another political there will be such a defection from the republican party on the part of the Negroes that the election of the entire democratic ticket in the state will be a foregone conclusion. Says They are Not Respectable. "As an example of the character and standing of the Taft colored clubs in Ohio, there is hardly one of the much-advertised clubs in Columbus that has a respectable Negro as a member. Indeed, three Negro janitors have organized them. "In faithful recognition of the valliant services Senator Foraker has rendered his party and the noble stand he has taken for equality before the law for all men, the Negroes of Ohio, like the Negroes of the entire country, are for Senator Foraker and his interests."

She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. I had her under the doctor's care for a year and a half and he seemed to do her no good. I took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if I had depended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid. But I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and she was cured in three months. Alice L.

COFFEE DRINKING A Doctor Says it Weakens the Heart. "In my opinion," says a well known German physician, "no one can truthfully say that coffee agrees with him, as it has long since been proven that caffeine, contained in coffee, is an injurious, poisonous substance which weakens and degenerates the heart muscles. "For this reason the regular use of coffee, soon or late, causes a condition of undernourishment, which leads to various kinds of organic disease. "Convinced of this fact, I have often sought for some healthful beverage to use instead of coffee. At last I found the thing desired in Postum. Having had occasion to forbid people using coffee, whose hearts were affected, I have recommended Postum as a beverage, since it is free from all injurious or exciting substances. I know this from results in my own family, and among patients. "Hundreds of persons who now use Postum in place of coffee, are greatly benefited thereby," "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Read, "The Road to Well" in okgs. OHIO AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE Declaration of Principles. "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emolument. "As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and exact justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. "As loyal and faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achieved without 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 alluring our forces for a triumphal 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 to keep our forbears in servile bondage to death the glorious emblem of our country and stripes, he is not in a position 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 Sumber, Henry Ward Beether, Judge Alon W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Shawn the immortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and sands of others who suffered in our behalf; and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that any of his relatives had fought to dissolve the Union and against human freedom. "We are for Senator Foraker, for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, revered by millions of 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 the fact that conditions may bring about his nomination, we also believe that conditions and votes will bring about the change we have reached that point where we would prefer to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party. "We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding starchamber 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. W. H. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of 167 inmates, in the army as a result of the alleged Brownsville riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military machinery of the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore be it. Resolved, That we, as law-binding 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 indiscretion the same without trial of 167 and meritorious soldiers, many of them grown gray in the service of their country, in Indian wars and the Spanish-American war, shows weakness and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conservatism and justice which should characterize an asplant for the greatest honor of our party and nation. Furthermore, Be it resolved, that we call upon our brethren throughout this great state, particularly, and the country to join in our protest and warning to all republicans who support the Hon. W. H. Taft for anything at this time, that they are thus forfeiting the good will and support for the future of all loyal members of our race. Hon. Harry C.

Next Sunday's "Bon" Concert At the next Sunday "Pop" concert, Emil Ring will conduct the Symphonie Poem of Smetana entitled "Vltava" (Moldan). This is the second section of the cycle which Smetana named "My Father cycle," a short synopsis of which will not be amiss especially as it will be the first time in 15 years that this part of the poem has been played. In it the composer takes two springs which have a shady Bohemian forest as the founders' head; each flow morphed until they unite and become the source of the "Vltava" which is the Moldan. The river in its course flows through a farm where a wedding is being celebrated; here the waternymph come forward and disport themselves in the glistening moonlight. The river grows larger until it finally reaches Prague majestically; here it is lost from the vision of the capped and will doubtless be given an excellent interpretation by the orchestra.

He spoke in the highest manner of the senator, but was for the fat secretary of war. But the others cried him down. Principle was what they wanted. The following is the resolution as adopted: Whereas, This government needs at its head a wise and safe leader, one who stands for fair play to man as man; one who pleads the cause of the weak as well as the strong, and is ever ready to probe into, ransack and ventilate abominable crimes such as the dismissing "without honor" of the Negroes in the army at Brownsville, Tex.; one who stands for right and justice and caters to no section of the country or clique of men. Be it resolved, That we go on reon as preferring Senator J. B. Forake, the best posted statesman of the age, and the next president of the United States. Resolved, That we do whatever is legitimate to secure his nomination and election. Resolved, That we endorse the manly stand taken by him in the Brownsville affair, in which he has proved conclusively the innocence of the Negro soldiers. W. D. CHAPPELLE, D. D.

This is to certify that I have for several years been trying to support an organization for homeless and abandoned children, known as "The Holloway Home," and have at this time sixteen children in charge, some of whom are infants, and I am attempting to buy a piece of property in this city, located on the corner of Hallard and Germantown streets, which, if I succeed, will enable me to give better accommodations to this class of children. Nearly four years ago, a Mr. Nevels offered his services to go out and collect funds for this purpose, promising to make bi-monthly reports and to bring his soliciting book at least once per year for inspection. He was to receive 60% commission for his labor. He has been out for nearly four years and has not, during this time, presented his book for inspection, and has kept 60% of greater part reported. I, according to my record, which has been carefully kept, have received only $190 during the entire time. Therefore, I recall all authority given by me to the said George R. Nevels and wife, and I furthermore ask that no money be given to them on my account, or on the account of the organization which I am trying to foster. Signed, Her JULIA X HOLOWAY.

C. — Serious * in- dustrial disputes in prospect were in the mind of President Roosevelt when he wrote a letter to the inter-state commerce commission which was made. public Wednesday. He says that information has reached him that on account of the enactment of dras- tle laws by congress and by various state legislatures it is regarded neces- sary by railroad companies to reduce the pay of employes. He points out that, under the Iaw, either party maf demand the services of the chairman of the inter-state commerce commission and of the commissioner of labor as a board of conciliation. He stiggests that the inter-state commerce commission make such an investigation as will enable it to furnish data concerning wage conditions on various railroads as may relate to the possibly impend- ing controversy, The letter follows: “To the Inter-state Commerce Com: mission: Iam Informed that a num- ber of rafiroad companies have served notice of a proposed reduction of ‘wages on their employes. One of them, the Louisville & Nashville, in annoureing the reduction states that ‘the drastic laws inimical to the inter- ests of the railroads that have in the ‘past year or two been enacted by con- ‘gress and the state legislatures’ are largely or chiefly responsible for the conditions requiring the reduction. “Under such circumstances the pub- He may soon be confronted with ser ous industrial disputes and the law provides that “in such cases either party may demand the services. of your chairman and of the commission- er of labor as a board of mediation and conciliation, These reductions in wages may be warranted, or they may not. As to this the public, which 1s a vitally Interested party, can form no judgment without a more complete Imowledge of essential facts and real merits of the case than it now has or it can possibly obtain from-the special pleadings certain to be put forth by each side in case their dispute should bring about serious interruption to traffic, “If the reduction in wages ts duo to natural causes, the loss of business being such that the burden should be, and is, equitably distributed between capitalist and wage-worker, the public should know it. If it is caused by leg- fslation, the public and congress should know it, and if it is caused by misconduct in’the past financial or other operations of any railroad, then everybody should know it, especially if the excuse of unfriendly legislation 4s advanced as a method of covering up past business misconduct by the railroad managers, or as a justifica tlon for failure to treat fairly the wageearning employes of the com pany. “Moreover, an industrial conflict between a railroad corporation and its employes offers peculiar oppor tunities to any small number of evil Aisposed “persons to destroy life and property and foment pubile disorder. Of course, if life, property and pub Me order are endangered, - prompt measures for thelr protection become the first plain duty. All other sesues then become subordinate to the pres ervation of the public peace and. the real merits of the original contro versy are lost from view. This vital consideration should be ever kept 1x mind by all Inweabiding and far sighted members of ‘labor organiza tions. “L therefore ask you to make such investigation as will enable you to furnish data concerning such cond! tions obtaining on the Louisville & Nashville and any other roads, as may relate to the real merits of the pos ‘aibly impending controversy.” TRAINS STUCK IN SNOW DRIFTS, More, Than a Dozen Such Cases Re ‘sulted froma Great Storm in Michigan.

VOLUMES MIGHT BE WRITTEN Of the Success That Awaits the Farm- er in Western Canada. ‘The story of wheat farming in Wes- tern Canada (that portion of Canada lying north of Dakota and Montana) has been frequently told, but it will stand a lot of telling, and still retain {ts touch of interest. “During the year fust ‘closed 277,376 persons made their homes in Canada as compared with 215,912 for the year 1906, an increase of 61,464. ‘Those from the United States numbered 66,551. A writer in “Industry” recently sald: “Today the “Dominion of Canada ts witnessing a “mightier movement of population “than ever stimulated a Biblical writ. “er to pen a chapter of Scripture.” ‘The samewriter says: “From theRhine “and the Rhone river valleys; from “the port elties of Germany and the “farms of the Fatherland, from the “peasant soll of Russia; and out from “the grimy Laneashire and over-popu- “lated Yorkshire, the discontented “and ambitious of every clime are “seeking to take advantage of the “opportunities afforded by the fertile “soll and exhilarating climate of the “Empire of the North.” Continuing the same writer says: “While a million human beings throng “the shores of the United States every “year, the smaller number arriving in “Canada come with a more wett-de- “fined purpose.” ‘the question has been asked why do these people come to Canada? ‘The available land be- tween the Mississippi and the Pacific has been exhausted, and the farmers within that territory find that thelr sons have to seek newer climes. Cana- da offers one hundred and sixty acres of land free to each. ‘This land yields from 20 to 40 bushels of wheat to the acre, In Southern Alberta, the winter wheat belt of Canada, as high as 60 bushels per acre have been harvested. ‘Less yields than the one mentioned have netted the farmer as much as $35 per acre. ‘There are no words that ‘tell the tale #0 effectively as those of the farmer himself, the man who has ploughed the flelds, sowed the grain, ‘and. with folded hands rests while ‘nature, ‘bountéons {a that country, in Jess than three months, placed at’ his disposal hundreds of acres of ripened grain, now waiting the arrival of the reaper, and therefore we reproduce the following letter.

Dear Sit:— 1m 1905 I Tocated on a clalm about 30 miles from the town of Wadena, on the Cafiadian Northern Railroad, “have lived on my claim most of the ‘time since, ‘I consider this to be one of the best districts in the country for grain growing. In 1906 wheat averaged from 30 to 1 bushels per ‘acre on some of my neighbors’ farms, within 4 miles of my claim, Oats go from 75 to 100 bushels, It 1p also a good country for stock. Where I am there is plenty of fuel. Homesteads nearly all taken the settlement being largely Germans, and Americans, all wellto-do. I left Wadena in Febru ary, 1907, returning April 25, so that T missed part of the winter, which the old settlers tell me was one of the worst they ever saw, but there was no suffering, as the people are pretty well fixed, and there are no blizzards in that country, at least there never has been known to be one.
