Modes of the Moment IT UNION THEIR EXCHANGE TWENTY-FIFTH Moder SMART In the earliest days of its existence, now some ten years ago, the blower seriously threatened the sovereignty of the dressmaker. When we grew more familiar with it and embraced its easy charms with enthusiasm, we realized that, like every excellent innovation, it had its place, but that its place was not everywhere, with every skirt, or on every person, or for every occasion. There is no doubt, however, that its comfortable convenience and easy acquirement have exercised a baneful influence over the fortunes of the "little dressmaker." The blouse is the garment of the populace, the joy of the million, and, if half the stories one hears be true, it is at once the despair and support of the submerged tenth, whose fortunes, or misfortunes, by the way, I realize as being too deep for mere trivial allusion. The blouse is the heroine of my story at the moment, and I at once confess myself addicted to its delights, though sternly refusing my themselves on any but early morning costumes save in mid-summer, when I permit myself to revel in its attractiveness without a thought for the undoubted fact that it is neither generally becoming to the figure, nor acceptable to the connoisseur, unless made by the hand of the expert, or elaborately embroidered and of the finest fabrics. There is luxury in blouse as well as an almost incredible possibility for economy. Blouses I have seen bearing the kimono outline, which remains much in fashion, with insertions of face of the Cluny order, alternating with ticks, the bodice portion of soft tawn, at something less than six shillings each. How it is done I do not know, and should not like to ask. But there is no doubt that blouses of this description exist in the thousands, and the variety of others, less ornate perhaps but no less attractive, is practically endless. The Parisians have taken a fancy at the moment to the blouse of fine minion merely decorated with tucks and little pearl buttons, and completed with lawn collar and glace tie, admirable examples of what the dwellers in the land of the Stars and Strips call "the shirt waist." Another very attractive model of a blouse which combines the advantages of the blouse and the shirt is of white ponge, merely decked into large tucks hem-stitched. Then, again, the little striped and spotned nun's veiling is made into plain shirts which cost but a few shillings. The shot silk blouse has waned in our affections, and chine silk blouses have comparatively little patronage, and the prodigal now turn their attention towards shirts of crepe de chine, a capital material for the purpose, too, since it washes well and hangs delightfully. And lastly on the list of the blouse popular, comes the blouse of lawn, of linen, and of crash. The industrious amateur may buy a blouse of crash ready cut and traced with an embroidery pattern, and work her dainty will upon it, and achieve a result far in excess of its initial price. The finer cambric and linen lawn blouses may also be bought traced to embroider, but they do not perhaps reward the laborer since they are somewhat difficult to work successfully. There are two new underbodies in the market, specially designed to do the blouse honor. Both are made of linen, both are boned down the center of the front, both cross at the back and THE GAZETTE fastest invisibly, while their adjustment is so contrived that they can be tightened or loosened at the will or necessity of the wearer, and they hook securely down to the front of the corset. And now I have forgotten in my list of the blouses desirable the very latest model. It is made of stripes of embroidered plique, joined with fine tucks of lawn, and it looks exceedingly well under the regulation tailor-made coat and skirt, which continues to hold some measure of our fancy, although, in truth, not so much as they usually obtain at this time of year. We are, so to speak, set upon the directoire style. Our skirts are long and very narrow, and they bear in the center of the front three little pleats which look as if they had dropped A SLEEVELESS PALETOT. Trimmed with Embroidery or Braid and Revers of Velvet—The Coat is Ornamented with Tassels. there accidentally, but have really been planned with infinite trouble to assume a carelessness their arrangement did not permit. The skirt, being cut high above the waist, is fastened with a band either of ribbon, silk, or petersham, or galon, and the long coat hangs straightly to the sides, with deep-pointed revers, buttoned usually with large buttons of enamel or metal, on either side of a double-breasted waistcoat, which terminates above the waist. Spring walking costumes are the two heroes of our large illustration. No. 1 is of cloth, with the bodice draped with a suggestion of kimono and the fuchi, the waistcoat and the sleeves being bralded, while the revers are of gulpure, and tassels dangle on either side of the buttons down the front. The other shows a coat and skirt of dark blue, trimmed with strappings and small gold buttons, and a line of white braid beyond the purple velvet collar and cuffs, the latter being frilled dainty with soft muslin and lace. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1908. THE TRUTH TOLD BY NEW YORK CITY'S GREAT REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER IT'S RELATION TO SECRETARY "DISFRANCHISEMENT" TAFT'S GREENSBORO, N. C., AND OTHER SPEECHES— "PICKWICKIAN." A Plank and Its Significance. With what face or grace can the Hon. William H. Taft stand upon the Negro plank in the Columbus platform? This declares for "The civil and political rights of the American Negro in every state, believing as we do that his marvellous progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation, and that those legislative enactments that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone are unfair, un-American and repugnant to the sun's rays of the land," we wrote in the reduction of representation in congress and the electoral college in all the states of this union where white and colored citizens are disfranchised, to the end that the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States may be enforced according to its letter and spirit." With no very good face or grace when he was called upon Mr. Taft said, the last two years upon this very question of Negro d.franchisement. Something less than two years ago Mr. Taft went down into North Carolina, which appeared to offer an opportunity to break into the political solid south, and made a speech at Greensboro which was everywhere regarded in the south as an expression of administration and Republican sanction for the elimination of the Negro from politics by the various distranchising processes that had been adopted of administration and Republican efforts to draw any other conclusion from Mr. Taff's address than that the south had nothing more to fear from northern or Republican efforts to restore the Negro's political status in the south. His whole argument was that the south was cutting itself off from voice and influence in national affairs and putting itself at a tremendous disadvantage in the era of industrial progress by continuing as the political appanage of one "for reasons which long ago lost their force." If Mr. Taff's act was not still voting the Negro question when the Negrd question was dead did not mean that in so far as the prevailing methods of distranchising the Negro annulled the fourteenth amendment that amendment was annulled so far as the administration party was concerned, then plain language has no meaning. In a nutshell, Mr. Tatt's Greenbroom argument was that the south had been left behind. OHIO DEMOCRATIC BY 50,000 Let it be recorded upon the tablets of political history that the active opposition of the union labor vote to Taft, the industrial distrust of the Taft views on the tariff, the opposition of the soldier vote (the Jewish vote) and the colored vote, to all of which must be added the distrust of the religious people of Ohio to whom he and his family history are best known, will certainly lose Taft the electoral vote of Ohio by 50,000, and with it the states of the middle west. All the money put into political managers and a subsidized press company will be saved in a halt. The Republican party deserves to be saved from a frenzied mistake.—Mansfield (O.) News (Rep.) Postmaster and ex-chairman of the Ohio Republican Executive Committee, Hon. W. S. Cappellar, editor. that as the Negro had been eliminated from politics the political Negro question was dead and there was therefore no longer a reason why the south should maintain a solidity that was hurtful both to itself and (to the whole country). It would have been wonderful if the south had placed any other construction on this than it did. According to the analysis made by Mr. Taft at Greensboro, "the south has been kept solid by the spectre of Negro domination and by stirring up racial prejudices and arousing unfounded alarm over an impossible return of reconstruction days." Does the Columbus platform lay this spectre? Does it make this alarm appear so unfounded, especially when the Columbus platform is supposed to be the model for the platform on which Mr. Taft will stand if he is nominated. Does it make up of the change of industrial conditions in instating the cry of Negro domination from the politics of the former slave-holding states has manifested itself first in the border states," said Mr. Taft at Greensboro. "West Virginia has become permanently Republican, and Maryland and Missouri put themselves into the Republican column in the last presidential election, while Kentucky nearly brought forth works meet for repentance in the first McKinley campaign." The south would have been pretty obtuse if it had not been so boldly acting the cry of Negro domination in politics" had been a good thing for the country, since it had prepared the way for breaking up the solid south, and since the breaking up of the solid south was something to be desired. The south, however, will have to be even more clear-sighted than it is to reconcile this utterance with the Columbus platform. As they read that platform, on which Mr. Taft now stands, awkward and embarrassed, will the southern people feel that their political allegiance has been dictated by fright at nothing more than "a spectre and a shadow of the past?" It is true that in his speech at Lexington, Ky., last August, Mr. Taft said that it was an "injustice" that "by the suppression of the Negro vote the white Democrats of the south in point of view have been forced to house per capita wield a far greater influence on the legislation of the country than do the northern voters per capita," but it was an "injustice" which led him to observe only that its effect was to lead "many a northern voter to support the Republican party and to keep it in control." Moreover, even that tepid reference to "injustice" must be construed in connection with the rest of his Lexington address which was practically a repetition of his own speech. Everybody knows that the "Negro's civil rights" were made a subject of platform concern in a futile effort to offset the Brownsville affair, but whoever was responsible for its futility did Mr. Taft no favor. Holding the views which he has expressed he would not look very pretty in the context of the Columbus platform. The Negro plank was meant to be taken seriously. He looks less than pretty taking the stand which has been provided for him.—New York Sun (Repub.) HEAR OF AFRICAN HORRORS. Mothers Learn of Crueltes in the Congo from Gen. Joubert-Plemar. (Washington, D. C., Post, March 12.) "I have seen Portuguese soldiers look on while their native allies tosed Kaffir children on spears and flung their dead and mutilated bodies to the ground. "In one village I saw forty-two children taken away in one cart to be sold as slaves. The mothers of these children olung to their little one so frantically that the Portuguese soldiers were obliged to use force to separate them, and I saw them lash the women back from the cart to a distance of 100 yards. Some of the wretched women fainted from agony. "I was an eye-witness to a whipping of a slave whom the mistress of a Portuguese plantation had beaten, until she fell dead. Her other slaves held me to prevent me from interfering, telling me that I attempted to take the slave and all be put under the jash."—Gen. Francis Joubert-Pilcher of Angola. Africa. ```markdown ``` "I indict the Portuguese government as a slave owner and a slave trader. I charge Portugal with some of the most brutal outrages ever perpetrated upon a helpless people by a British soldier, and I stand on this platform prepared to substantiate every word that I utter," said Gen.

Not since Cuban refugees told of frightful atrocities against the audience listened to such an arrangement as that which Gen. Joubert-Pleear delivered.

BURLESQUE ON 'SQUARE DEAL' (Springfield, Mass., Daily Republic.) The new Brownies dilemma is, if possible, worse than the old one; for in that there was still a locus penitentiate for the hasty commander-in-chief—he might have confessed that he acted hastily, and withdrawn all opposition to the restatement of the law, and charged. But now, by assuming, contrary to the fact, that the senate investigation has confirmed his action, and by requiring the innocent soldiers to prove their innocence, he will be found to have offended a great many white voters, who know the difference between fair play and fair words. Can't Prove A Negative. How is a black sergeant to prove a negative? The great majority of the discharged men have already proved their innocence, if their own testimony is worth anything; how can they do more? THEY WERE IN BED, THEIR MUSKETS WERE CLEAN, THE/BULLETS FOUND WERE NOT THOSSE THE GOVERNMENT DECLARED WERE SERVED OUT TO THEM. All this, in any fair court, would have acquitted them, but the president insists they were repentiously cleaned foul guns, and might have had the tell-tale bullets. The whole contention of the White House and war department is a burlesque on the "square deal." With a year and a half to find evidence, with the whole force and money of the executive trying to find it, the best that can be now said on that side is, "NOT PROVEN—BUILT ALL THE SAME." Platform Sop Won't Do While No impracticable pledge to punish the south for disfranchising black citizens will persuade the colored voters back to Taff, for they have seen Taff and his chief DISFRANCHISING BRAVE SOLDIERS WITHOUT BEING ABLE, IN A YEAR AND A HALF, TO IDENTIFY A SINGLE MAN.

Smith, Editor The Gazette: Dear Sir: Replying to your postal card of the 18th of March, I am directed by Senator Foraker to say that it is impossible to tell just when he will speak on the Brownsville affray. He should do not until the military affairs' committee reports some kind of a bill. You have doubtless noticed that last Thursday Senator Warner introduced a bill providing for the pay of the discharged soldiers. This is a step further than the bill attached to the majority report went, which did not so provide for the period the soldiers have been out of the service. The senator does not know when he can get one of the bills out of the committee, but he hopes to get out the majority's bill next Thursday, voting for it himself, but reserving the right to substitute his own bill in the senate. I will try to let you know just when he will speak, but it will doubtless not be before the last of next week, probably the week following. Very truly yours, J. SAGMEISTER.

SMITH, Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, {1894 to 1891 1896 to 1893 1890 to 1893} Cleveland, Saturday, March 28, 1908. 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 There is far more truth than anything else in the Hon. W. S. Cappellari quotation on page 1 to-day. Read it thoughtfully. The Detroit Informer's special souvenir edition, a copy of which we saw for the first time a few days ago, was something fine. Congratulations, Editor Warren, though late. The Dayton (O.) Observer very pertinently refers to the Negro plank in the Ohio Taft Republican platform as "bait." All the other Ohio Afro-American papers, except the Cleveland Toilet-paper, ridicule the plank for the same reason. Loyal Ohio Afro-Americans will not be misled by the "sop" or "bait" in the platform adopted recently at Columbus, O., by that Taft "state" convention. It is entirely too thin with the Roosevelt-Taft Brownsville "discharge without honor" still staring us in the face, in spite of Senator Foraker's long, grand and winning fight in behalf of "The Black Battalion" and the race. The Taft subsidy has gathered in the Chicago Conservator, and J. Max Barber, it's editor for a few weeks, has been deposed for the same reason and in much the same way that T. Thomas Fortune, former editor and part owner of the N. Y. Age, was gotten rid of. Like the last named publication, the Conservator is making a very poor showing as compared with that before the change. After reading elsewhere in this paper what Gen. Joubert-Plenear said to the international congress, in season some weeks ago at Washington, D.C., one can better understand God's recent visitation of wrath upon unhappy Portugal. It seems that that country is vying in Africa with King Leopold of Belgium for a reputation for savagery, that seems almost too Mdeous to believe. The only thing in this day and time that approaches the maiming, butchering and other kinds of killing of the natives of the Congo, African, region, is the Russians' terrible mistreatment of the Jews at Odessa and other such points in that country. The great powers of the world will have to stop all of it. The sooner the better. If Senator Foraker is beaten by Roosevelt and Cox, "Bilfil and Black George" there must be many citizens of Ohio, who will not forget what he has been beaten for. For insisting on justice, even to black men. For performing with conscientious independence his duties as senator in congress. For loyalty to the constitution. For defending the courts. For maintaining the legal and traditional American respect for the rights of property. For insisting upon the constitutional functions of the senate. For refusing to fall down and worship the brazen cat. The luminous criticism and opposition which Senator Foraker has brought to bear upon the hasty and epilactic projects of law emanating from the White House have been of the highest value even when he was overborne. Intellectual powers of the first class, judgment, sanity, that real eloquence which avoids claptrap and is full of penetrating analysis and copious knowledge; above all, a courage above personal consequences—the qualities have made Senator Foraker's service in the senate useful and memorable. Perhaps Ohio will be proud enough of Foraker when the present mania has died away to keep him at the post he honors so conspicuously.—New York Sun. The sane, sensible and appreciative Republicans and people of the country, not only of Ohio, will place Senator Foraker in a higher position than a United States senatorhip, after November of this year. Of this the editor of the N. Y. Sun and all other friends and admirers of Ohio's greatest statesman, may rest assured. All New York's great daily newspaper says of him in the above excerpt is true, and much more along the same line. THAT DISFRANCHISEMENT CASE The Hon. Albert E. Pillsbury of Massachusetts, whom we quote on our first page to day, is one of the greatest constitutional lawyers in this country—one of the kind who commands a fee of $5,000 whenever he appears before the United States supreme court. He is the MAN who several years ago agreed to take charge of the National Afro-American Council's disfranchise case, in that court, against the state of Louisiana, with Attorneys Birney of Washington, D. C., and Romaine of New Orleans, whom the council had retained, and then refused to accept pay of any kind for his services, because of his friendly feeling for, and interest in the progress of the race. We can afford to listen to such friends especially when their advice is so good and timely as in this instance Mr. Pillsbury is RIGHT: No self and race-respecting Afro-American can support or vote for Secretary "Disfranchisement—Jim Crow-car" Taft! When Booker T. Washington and his friends secured control of the National Afro-American Council several years ago, the case in the United States supreme court was dropped, in spite of the fact that it was on the court calendar for hearing the fall of that year. It has never been heard of since. Again we ask our good friend Bishop Alexander Walters, the president of the council until deposited by Washington and his friends several years ago, and the organization's present head, having regained the position after a routing of Booker and his followers in the council, what became of that disfranchisement case? "TEDDY'S" RETREAT NO. 4. United States Senator Warner of Missouri, one of the Roosevelt administration supporters in the Brownsville matter, is conducting "Teddy's" retreat No. 4, and trying to save his own state to the Republican party this fall, by introducing a bill to provide for the pay of "The Black Battalion" for the time lost as a result of their discharge "without honor" by the president and his secretary of war, Taft. As stated in Senator Foraker's letter, published elsewhere in this paper, "this is a step farther than the bill attached to the (Roosevelt) committee on military affairs) majority (five Democrats and four Republicans) report went," which did not so provide for the period the soldiers have been out of the service. How the senator (Foraker) is driving "Teddy" and his "Republican" followers on the senate committee on military affairs! The Lord is certainly with him and us in this fight, and has been from the very beginning. One thing, however, must not be lost sight of for a single moment, and that is Roosevelt's request that he be given the power to reinstate members of the battalion who, in his judgment, ought to be returned to the service. This would enable him to make "scap-goats" of some of the men and in this way apparently justify, at least in part, his reprehensible discharge of the battalion, none of whom have been or can be proven guilty of participation in the alleged Brownsville riot, or of having any guilty knowledge of the same—because they are innocent of both charges. Up to date Senator Foraker has driven the administration and its forces to concede about every one of his demands for the soldiers, and he is not yet done—so he writes us. GRAND MAN! More power to him; the next president of these United States of America! The Afro-Americans of Missouri, constituting so large and potent a voting factor of the Republican party that state, should keep the political hatchet suspended above the heads of Senator Warner and his Missouri Taft "Republican" nominees until the Chicago convention, and then reach a conclusion. EDITOR JOHN MITCHELL SPEAKS "We should like for President Roosevelt to state if Secretary Taft originally approved that 'punish the innocent with the guilty' order. "We do not know who will be the next president, but the indications are clear. We have any rougher time under Mr. Bryan than we have had under Mr. Roosevelt. "If the distinguished occupant of the White House will read his Bible less and practice its precepts more, the colored folks will have an easier time listening to its portion of their Master's vineyard. "One thing we know, the United States senate cannot act any too quickly in reinstating 'The Black Battalion' if it wishes to save to the Republican party the black vote in the doubtful states. "According to President Roosevelt's Brownsville order, no Negroes were wanted in the army and he 'kicked' the Whitehites. The Whitehites no Negroes are wanted in the Republican organization and they are shutting them out. According to the colored people, no Negroes will be wanted at the polls in November for the Republican ticket and they are preparing to stay in and fast and pray or vote for some other party on election day. It's a long time coming, but they will have their inning."—Richmond (Va.) Planet. Must Nominate Foraker! Cadiz, O.—S. M. Thornton of Zanesville was here last month on a visit to his uncle, Samuel Tyler. This was Mr. Thornton's first visit to Cadiz in 35 years. Mr. Thornton is one of our men who has had more than ordinary success, and at present is a concrete contractor and employes a large number of men. Mr. Thornton talked interestingly of the political situation while here, and stated that unless Foraker would be the nominee of the Republicans in national convention ranks there would be sparring ranks that would amount to something, in that community, if nowhere else.

Given a Grand Reception By Our People, and Citizens Generally— The Program. Buffalo, N. Y.—The following was the program of the grand reception as drawn by Chairman Talbert. It was divided into two parts, for the afternoon and for the evening. The former consisted of a parade from the railway station, of the 24th infantry escorted by the regulars from Fort Porter and Fort Niagara and the officers of the 65th and 74th regiments, passing in review before the mayor, the city and county officials and heads of departments at the City Hall, the parade terminating at Fort Porter, where rations were served. After a rest our troops were escorted to one of the armories, where the evening program was carried out. It consisted of a band concert from 8 to 8:30 o'clock, a dress parade or battalion drill from 8:45 to 9:45 o'clock. The officers were entertained after it at clubs, and our refreshments to the enlisted men. This was followed by dancing from 10 to 12 o'clock for members of the local militia, regulars from the forts and their friends. The entraining of the 24th infantry occurred about midnight. Admission to the armory was by ticket only. The 24th infantry was on its way to the Madison barracks. Sacking of the barracks and a campaign in the Philippines.

For Foraker and Against Taft Foraker and Against Tatt. Xenon O. Our voters. Greene county, one of the most significant meetings at the Third Baptist church last week Tuesday evening that was ever held in Xenia. Representatives were present from various parts of the county, and the meeting was wild with enthusiasm from beginning to end. Hon. C. L. Maxwell presided and Mr. John Hornbach, of Yellow Springs, acted as the chair of the Strong expressive of the feelings of our people in the Foraker-Tatt edition, were passed and ordered printed, and if there was any doubt as to our voters' position in this famous contention, we were Rev. M. F. Womack, Dr. H. R Hawkins, D. T. Johnson and H. C. L. Maxwell. Judge Marcus Shoup, ex-Gov. Lyons and ex-Mayor C. F. Howard were also present and made speeches in accord with the proposition that all American citizens should be treated justly. At the close of the meeting J. M. Summers was elected as delegate to the national convention to be a member of the will leave here April 5. W. S. Rogers was chosen as alternate. The Gazette will publish the resolutions in full at a later date. "Not in the Band Wagon." NOT in the BAND Wagon. We see how good reason in the world why any colored man in Maryland should support either Mr. Taft or President Roosevelt for the presidency of the United States. Mr. Taft in a number of speeches has made it clear that he will take in steps to see that the Negroes in the southern states who are now deprived of their right of franchise will be rehabilitated in those rights. Mr. Roosevelt, by his action in reference to the Brownsville affair, has demonstrated that he is not a man in whose hands the rights of the Negro can be safely trusted. Now why should any Negro, (unless he is bought and paid for) who has any interest whatever in his race, stand sponsor for either of the two when there are better men to choose. The Afro-American Ledger is unalterably opposed to either Mr. Taft or Mr. Roosevelt—Baltimore Afro-American. "THAT MORAL DEGENERATE!" "Nahoomdy," the Alleged Editor of the Cleveland Toilet-Paper, Simply Skinned—The Truth! TOTING THE WHITE MAN'S PREJUDICE. "The Hon. Douglas Wetmore, who went as a paid emissary to Florida, his native state, to attempt to influence the Negroes of the state against Secretary Taft, and in the interest of Gov. Hughes, was at one time a very loud claimant for the rights of his people. After he got to New York, white woman, he was not heard so loud. In fact, it was rumored here that he was showing a lack of coldness towards his race. Any Negro has the right to marry a white woman, if one will have Him, but unfortunately, no Negro who does can have the same influence and stand for the same cause. Douglas could not escape the criticism that followed that act, and his reputation and fame had already been established on a sure foundation." The above quotation is an editorial taken from that moral degenerate printed in Cleveland, Ohio, and called the Journal. This paper is so utterly insulting to the Negroes that hardly blame The Gazette of the same city for applying to it a name (Toilet paper) it has so richly earned. Several times have we shown this journal to be a self-f confessed grafter, a traudor of its dupe readers for cash, and a miserable, oldbold old sinner always looking for filly lucre. But here it stoops to the lowest and most moral depravity, moral depravity to which it has yet descended by employing against a political adversary, in its attempts to be little him, the most accursed and most hateful prejudice harbored by white men; that which is entertained in opposition to the honorable intermariage of women. That Mr. Wetmore is himself a white man (having less than one-eighth Negro blood) makes no difference to the fool writer of the above editorial. In true Detroit News fashion it attempts to disparage men who are honorable and courageous enough to marry the women of their choice in the prejudice of some white men. The only criticism Frederick Douglas incurred by his marriage was from prejudiced white men. Sensible Negroes everywhere accorded him the natural right to marry the woman of his choice. If any Negro did criticise Douglas he was too destitute of brain matter to merit any attention, and this seems to be the case of The Journal. Mr. Wetmore is a staunch Foraker man, while The Journal is the hired advocate of Taft for president. The only excuse it has for toting the white man's prejudice is because there is absolutely nothing to say in favor of its own candidate from a racial standpoint. There are no depths to which this paper will not descend when commanded by its white employers whose mission it is to accelerate and create more race prejudice at the expense of the poor Negro—Detroit (Mich.) intermer. Declared Dead by Physician New York City.—Declared, dead by a physician after having received a 1,000 volt shock from a feed wire in the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co.'s power house, Stephen Curtis, a 15 year old boy, was restored by artificial inducements of respiration. Curtis accidentally seized the wire while at work. He was unable to let go and his cries brought Ralph Stewart, an engineer, to his assistance. Stewart an ambulance arrived the surgeon pronounced Curtis dead. Later a faint movement of the heart being discovered, artificial respiration was tried. After nearly two hours' work young Curtis was sufficiently recovered to allow of his removal to a hospital. It is feared he will lose his eyesight and it is declared that had he not been wearing a mask, he would have killed outright. Stewart was seriously injured, and it is feared that he, too, will become blind through destruction of the optic nerve. Cooper-Carr Marriage. Mt.

O.-With the corpse of the bride's grandfather lying in the house the marriage of Nellie Rial and Edward Bolden was solemnized recently. All the arrangements for the wedding had been made and the invitations issued, when William Rial, 83 years old, one of the few surviving original settlers in this section, died. The bride decided that she would not postpone the wedding and it was celebrated as originally planned. 75 guests being present with all the merrymaking actually stands such in poeticism. The minister who officiated, Rev G. W. Maxwell, pastor of the Cyrene A. M. E. church, on the following day officiated at the funeral of the grandfather. Body Found In Mail Bag. Denver, Col.—Postmaster C. Oterach of Portales, N. M., reported to E. L. McKee, chief postal inspector of the Rocky Mountain region, the discovery of the body of an infant in the mails. The package was addressed to a man at Roswell, N. M., and bore the return address of a woman of Woodstock, Ill. Under the outer cover of the package was the following unsigned message: "I did not know what else to do. Born or do some business with you. Do not open. Postmaster Oterach turned the body over to officers at Portales. Inspector McKee says that an investigation will be made.

OHIO AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE Declaration of Principles. "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emplacement. "As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and exact justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. "As loyal and faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achieved when defeat seemed imminent, without any resultant advantages to ourselves. "We are as loyal and as true today as ever, but have grown tired of being considered as pawns in the great game of party politics and are determined to call a halt. "The presidential 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 that he was proud of the fact that they fought to keep our forbears in servile bondage and shoot to death the glorious emblem of our country, the stars and stripes, he is not in a position to recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Summer, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Albion W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thousands of others who suffered in our behalf; and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that any of his relatives had fought to disolve the Union and against human freedom. "We are for Senator Foraker, for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, rejection 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 be president of the United States, whether it be the president of the United States or his hero worshippers. "Having the most profound regard and veneration for the late Hon. Alphonso Taft—father of the present secretary of war—who, as attorney general in the cabinet of General Grant, was a true friend to our oppressed brethren in the south, we regret that duty to our race and country compuls us to state that on William 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 importance of about his nomination, we also believe that conditions and votes will bring about his defeat if nominated. We have reached that point where we would prefer to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party. "We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding 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 Greenbore, 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. W. H. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville not publicly branded them as criminal, 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. W. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1904, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the law of 167 ave and meritorious soldiery of 167 ave and meritorious soldiery, many of them grown gray in the army 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 brewers 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.

When the skins are thin and of a deep red color I frequently do not pore the apples, but at all times I am careful to remove all the core, especially every bit of the lining of the seed cells, and to bake them in granite or earth, never in tin, as it gives them an unpleasant flavor and a dingy color.

When the skins are thin and of a deep red color I frequently do not pare the apples, but at all times I am careful to remove all the core, especially every bit of the lining of the seed cells, and to bake them in granite or earthen, never in tin, as it gives them an empleasant flavor and a dingy color. Put the core cavities with sugar, heaped and tilt according to the tartness of the apples to form a few grains of salt, and sufficient water to half cover the apples. Bake in the oven and baste frequently.—The Delnelator. Last week the Lyceum theater management seemed to reserve (as far as it could), the first eight or ten rows of the middle section of the orchestra circle for its white patrons. Mr. Charles Martin had an altercation with the ticket-seller over this very thing last morning, and the latter threatened to blow out, out of the lobby if he did not go promptly. The fact that he remained a while on the outside caused the ticket seller to 'phone for a policeman. When the officer arrived Martin had gone.

Every woman interested in this subject should know that preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by the use of LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND Mrs. Maggie Gilmer, of West Union, S. C., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I was greatly run-down in health from a weakness peculiar to my sex, when Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended to me. It helped me to feel better, but to my delight I am a mother." Mrs. Josephine Hall, of Bardstown, Ky., writes: "I was a very great sufferer from female troubles, and my physician failed to help me. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound not only restored me to perfect health, but I am now a proud mother." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E.

OATS YIELDED 90 BUSHELS TO THE ACRE. The following letter written the Dominion Government Commissioner of Emigration speaks for itself. It proves the story of the Agents of the Government that on the free homeesteads offered by the Government it is possible to become comfortably well off in a few years: Regina, Sask., 23rd Nov., 1907, Commissioner of Immigration. It is with pleasure that I reply to your request. Some years ago I took up a homestead for myself and also one for my son. The half section which we own is situated between Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining the Moose Jaw creek, is a low level and heavy land. We put in 70 acres of wheat in stubble, which went 20 bushels to the acre, and 30 acres of summer fallow, which went 25 bushels to the acre. All the wheat we harvested this year is No. 1 hard. That means the best wheat that can be raised on the earth. We did not sell any wheat yet as we intend to keep one part for our own seed, and sell the other part to people who want first-class seed, for there is no doubt if you sow good wheat you will harvest good wheat. We also threshed 9,000 bushels of first-class oats out of 160 acres. 80 acres has been fall plowing which yielded 90 bushels per acre, and 80 acres stubble, which went 30 bushels to the acre. These oats are the best kind that can be raised. We have shipped three car loads of them, and got 53 cents per bushel clear. All our grain was cut in the last week of the month of August before any frost could touch it. Notwithstanding the fact that we have had a late spring, and that the weather conditions this year were very adverse and unfavorable, we will make more money out of our crop this year than last. For myself I feel compelled to say that Western Canada crops cannot be checked, even by unusual conditions. I am, dear sir, Yours truly, (Signed) A. Kaltenbrunner. A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE.

The animals are roaming on the rocks hundreds of feet above the tracks. They pay no attention to the trains, and as the law forbids anyone to shoot at them they have not become frightened at the appearance of a human being in the distance. One band contains eight sheep, as near as they could be counted from the moving traps, and the other contains about fifteen. The train crews have come to watch for the agile animals in and about the Royal gorge, and there is seldom a day when they are disappointed. The precarious pasture they have found is apparently almost inaccessible for other animals, and the feeding is proportionately good in consequence.—Denver Republican. Methods of Teaching. Make a variety in your modes of teaching. If you have been teaching in one way that you think best, take another way to-morrow. The new way will be a revelation to some of your dull pupils with whom you have been unable to do anything.—Francis W. Parker. KIDNEYS GURED BY THIS SIMPLE TREATMENT. Get your druggist to mix the following ingredients: one-half ounce fluid ext. Buchu, one ounce of compound fluid Balmwort and two ounces of syrup Sarsaparilla compound. Shake well and take a teaspoonful before each meal and one when retiring. Drink plenty of water between meals and at night, but little of any liquid at meal times. The buchu alone is an excellent tonic for the kidneys and bladder, but combined with the excellent qualities of balmwort and sarsaparilla, its efficacy is ten times greater. The great urinary specialist, Gaut, whose single fees range from $500 to $1000, acknowledges in his latest reports to the German Health Bureau that this simple mixture is most reliable and will cure all but the most complicated and aggravated kidney and bladder affections; therefore, it is well worth trying, as it is not an expensive formula. Puffing under the eyes, backache, headache and dizziness, burning of the eyes, blurred vision, extreme nervousness and insomnia all indicate urinary trouble. Many more symptoms could be named, but the reader will surely avoid neglect and prevent serious complications like diabetes, Bright's disease, apoplexy and rheumatism. Just mere shadows of their former selves. DEEP CRACKS FROM ECZEMA Could Lay Slate-Pencil In One—Hands in Dreadful State—Permanent Cure in Cuticura. "I had eczema on my hands for about seven years and during that time I had used several so-called remedies, together with physicians' and druggists' prescriptions. The disease was so bad on my hands that I could lay a slate-pencil in the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil. I kept using remedy after remedy, and while some gave partial relief, none relieved as much as did the first box of Cuticura Ointment. I made a purchase of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my hands were perfectly cured after two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap were used. W. H. Dean, Newark, Del. Mar. 28, 1907." Strenuous Method of Saving Life. Two officers who were hunting wolves on the Dry mountain in central Servia lost their way in a fog. After wandering for 14 hours one of them lay down in the snow and speedily became unconscious. His comrade bound him with cords, placed him in a sitting position and then rolled him down the mountain. He gilded down the slope at terrific speed and reached the bottom safely, being found an hour later in an exhausted condition by a peasant. He is now in the hospital being treated for the laceraions he received in bumping over the rocks during his descent. His companion is unhurt. Didn't Need It.

On the occasion of the production of "Lucia" at the Metropolitan opera house last winter a well-known clubman, who had taken a cousin from a Connecticut town to hear Donizetti's great work, turned to his relative during the first intermission and asked how he liked the opera. "Oh, pretty fair," said the visitor; "but is the whole blamed thing in Latin"—Harper's. HAPPY OLD AGE Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating. As old age advances, we require less food to replace waste, and food that will not overtax the digestive organs, while supplying true nourishment. Such an ideal food is found in Grape-Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley by long baking and action of diastase in the barley which changes the starch into sugar. The phosphates also, placed up under the bran-coat of the wheat, are included in Grape-Nuts, but left out of white flour. They are necessary to the building of brain and nerve cells. "I have used Grape-Nuts," writes an Iowa man, "for 8 years and feel as good and am stronger than I was ten years ago. I am over 74 years old, and attend to my business every day. "Among my customers I meet a man every day who is 92 years old and attributes his good health to the use of Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has used for the last 5 years. He mixes Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they go fine together. "For many years before I began to eat Grape-Nuts, I could not say that I enjoyed life or knew what it was to be able to say 'I am well.' I suffered greatly with constipation, now my habitures are as regular as ever in my life. "Whenever I make extra effort I depend on Grape-Nuts food and it just fills the bill. I can think and write a great deal easier." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville." in pgs. DO YOU KNOW WHAT WHITE LEAD IS? Its Chief Use and a Method of Determining Good from Bad Explained. White Lead is the standard paint material all over the world. It is made by corroding metallic lead into a white powder, through exposing it to the fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic acid gas; this powder is then ground and mixed with lined oil, making a thick paste, in which form it is packed and sold for painting purposes. The painter thins it down to the proper consistency for application by the addition of more lined oil. The above refers, of course, to pure, genuine White Lead only. Adulterated and fake "White Lead," of which there are many brands on the market, is generally some sort of composition containing only a percentage of white lead; sometimes no White Lead at all; in such stuff, barytes or ground rock, chalk, and similar cheap substances are used to make bulk and imitate the appearance of pure White Lead. There is, however, a positive test by which the purity or impurity of White Lead may be proved or exposed, before painting with it. The blow-pipe flame will reduce pure white lead to metallic lead. If a supposed white lead be thus tested and it only partially reduces to lead, leaving a residue, it is proof that something else was there besides white lead. The National Lead Company guarantee all White Lead sold in packages bearing its "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark to prove absolutely pure under this blow-pipe test, and that you may make the test yourself in your own home, they will send free upon request a blow-pipe and everything also necessary to make the test, together with a valuable booklet on paint.
