TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 36. The Matter of DRESS THE LADY'S DRESS OVER-ROBE FOR TEA-GOWN AND A BLOLLSE 28% IN WHICH THERE IS STRENGTH TWENTY-FIFTH The MAT DI OVER-ROBE FOR TEA-GO There is no doubt that hats will be much in evidence this spring, but the exaggerated modes will not long be tolerated. They are too trying. However inappropriate a large hat may be to the average short woman, its becomingness to her face offsets its defect. Conversely, however becoming the small hat may be to the short woman, it is most trying to the many faces who need shadows to conceal defects. Then, too, while a faultless coiffure should appear beneath the large hat, it is absolutely essential to the least degree of smartness with the small hat. The only person who can stand flying locks and rumpled tresses is she with curly hair and the very young girl. Somehow, young girls have nothing like the unkempt appearance of their elders when their hair is tousled. The lingerie blouse is to rule supreme with all the coats and skirts, and many are the devices in neckties and collars. The most attractive of these undoubtedly are expensive, and hall from Paris, but no doubt in the very near future we shall find them copied in all our most accessible establishments. A little tucked collar-band fitting tightly, and shaped to a very slight degree higher at the back than the front looks well with an infinitesimal flirt at the top, the band itself being outlined twice by a narrow black glace ribbon tied at the base in front into a small bow. Other pretty cravats are also made of black glace and tasseled with gold. The finest of linen lawns makes the blouse, either hand-embroidered or with hemstitched tucks decorating it, whistle of the center pleats show little groups of pearl buttons. The feature of the blouse sketched in our large illustration is the form of the braces and pointed cape falling over the shoulders and arms, which are fashioned in fillet lace, hemmed with a fold of satin which should match the color of the skirt with which the blouse is to be worn. In front the braces continue below the waist, passing beneath the belt, and finishing in mitred points; at the back the cape finishes at the waist. Of course, the braces could end at the waist in front also, but the lines continued on to the skirt give greater length to the figure, and are more becoming than the belt cuts the two portions of the dress in half. The underneath blouse, which is quite separate from the cape and braces and can be worn apart, is of lace insertions and tucked net. Tiny revers of lace meet at the bust, and below these the lace and tucks are carried downwards instead of horizontally. The sleeves are formed of puffs on the upper arm to the elbow, and are tight fitting from thence to the wrist, the lace insertions alternating with the bands of tucked net. In the costume shown to the left is illustrated what use can be made of a remnant of figured volle, ninon de sole, or any other light, semi-transparent material, printed with a design of wreaths of roses, which can be immensely enriched by introducing a large pearl at intervals among the rose wreaths. Diamond dewdrops could also be scattered over the material with excellent effect and very little trouble. The design is of one of the long over-robes or coats, which are so much the rage now for wearing over an evening dress or tea-gown. THE GAZETTE This one is cut in long points in front, shorter ones at the sides and long ones again at the back, which are split open nearly up to the waist. The sleeves, too, which are cut in one with the shoulders, hang in points at either side of the arm, leaving it bare. Both coat and sleeves are edged all round with a band of jewelled passmenterle and each point is weighted with a large tassel. The fronts of the coat cross, and are cut back just above the 1 A Delightfully Simple Tailor-Made. waist-line, any fulness being drawn across the bust and caught by a big La France rose. Thus a delightful garment that one could slip on over any last year's evening dress, transforming it into something quite up-to-date, can be manufactured out of a remnant length of some pretty fancy material and a few yards of jewelled passementerie. In our single column picture is shown a delightfully simple tailor-made of biscuit-colored striped tweed, the skirt being ornamented with stitched and mitred bands. The smart little coat, which is lined with silk, has a tight-fitting back and straight double-breasted fronts; the basques are short, with a jaunty little boxpleat in the middle of the back, which has a distinctly smart effect. The coat is also adorned with stitched strappings like the skirt and fancy buttons, while the black velvet collar which contrasts so effectively on the biscuit-colored tweed, is edged with a line of fancy braid. The dress is completed by a neat golden brown straw hat with a band of silk embroidery round the crown and brown wings spripling from a big bow of satin ribbon at the side. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. AND HUGHES --- BITTERLY OPPOSED TO ROOSEVELT AND TAFT WILL BOLT THE NOMINATION OF TAFT—BRYAN PREFERRED TO HIM—BISHOPS WAL- TERS AND PROF. DuBOIS AND OTHERS. BISHOP A. WALTERS. New York City.—The names of Roosevelt and Taft were hissed and hooted last week Thursday night by nearly 2,000 Afro-Americans who had gathered from various parts of the country to discuss national politics and lay plans for the incorporation of such planks in the Republican platform as will favor our people. The country came almost disorderly with enthusiasm when speakers announced that they would vote for William Jennings Bryan rather than Taft, and that, while their first choice for president was Senator Foraker, they also favored Gov. Hughes as a presidential candidate. Resolutions to this effect were adopted which also called upon congress for the reduction of southern congress representation and called upon Afro-Americans generally to act against those who would or "imim" regulate against us." The resolutions which were unanimously adopted, asked for the restatement of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry, which was discharged "without honor" because of the Brownsville scandal, although entirely innocent of the charges preferred against them by prejudiced war office officials and southerners. Book T. Washington was flayed by several speakers. Also federal office-holding Negroes who are active in Roosevelt and Taft. A paired of American leaders in the Fifteenth congress district were in line with torchlight, brass bands, and transparencies, on which were inscribed "Remember Brownsville," "Restore the PROF. W. E. B. DuBOIS. Colored Soldiers," "Blot Out Peenan in the South," and "Protect the Rights of Legal Senators." Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Afro-American council, presided at the meeting, and with him on the platform were race leaders from Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, and other parts of the country. The first gun against Roosevelt and Taft was fired by the reading of a decree for Red W. E. Bole of Atlanta, Ga. University. "If beats Foraker and Hughes, Negroes must vote for Bryan. Aowed enemy better than false friends," it read. In an instant every Afro-American in the hall was on his feet cheering or stamping his feet. Cries of "We will! We will!" came from all parts of the hall. At intervals throughout the evening the applause could be heard for a block. The principle speakers were: Hon. A. H. Grimke, ex-consult to Santo Domingo; J. Max Barber of Chicago or the University of Atlanta until the resumption of last year when he was compelled to leave to save his life; Rev. S. L. Corrothers of Washington, D. C., and Bishop Alexander Walters. Mr. Barber, among other things: "The Negro voters of the country will not support the Republican party if it nominates Taft for president, and I glory in their spunk. They contributed to the election of Roosevelt, and the Negro soldiers saved his life at San Juan Hill. Has he survived in vain from the administration at Washington (Cries of 'No! No!') it is strange that the president in his search for fraud and his efforts to find a means of breaking up the trusts has not found OUR FAMOUS TWENTY-FOURTH INFANTRY IN BUFFALO Curtesy of Buffalo Evening News.

Mr. Grimke said in part: "If this question of Negro rights is to be settled this year it will not be settled by the white people, but by the colored people. Are you going servilely to the polls and vote for Taft if he is nominated?" "No, never!" shouted those in front, as well as most of those on the platform. Corrothers, president of the National Independent Civil and Political Afro-American League, said: "If we can really get the 46,000 Negro voters of this state lined up we can make Taft say his prayers." Wonder if the reverend knows that W. H. Taft is a member of the Umatian church; that this church does OUR FAMOUS TWE THIS PICTURE SHOWS REGI not believe in Christ's divinity; and that members of the Unifarian church are refused admittance to conference Evangelical churches for this reason? CAPITALIZED AT $1,000,000. One of Our Co-operative Companies That Owns Over $160,000 Worth of Property. Yonkers, N. Y.-Having accomplished as much as possible under a capitalization of $50,000, the Colored Co-operative Co. of this city has been incorporated under the laws of the state of New Jersey with a capital stock of $1,000,000. The reason for incorporating in New Jersey is, according to the president, the Rev. John J. Smyer, that the laws of that state are more favorable to corporations, the tax being lower and other provisions less stringent than in this state, thus saving more money for the stockholders. The same directors and officers continue as before. They are: the Rev. J. J. Smyer, president; Charles E. Scott, secretary; Frank J. Moultrie, treasurer, and Thomas S. Lane, Jeremiah Webb and John R. Green, all of Yonkers. One of the chief objects of the corporation is to provide sanitary homes for our people, not only in this city but in many other places. The company operates a factory in Culver street, where building materials are manufactured, and keeps a store in New Main Street and the necessary life are provided in the way of clothing, food, etc. The company has organized our people into local, self-healing bodies in several towns and cities to carry out the general purposes of the corporation. The company expects to organize a life insurance company in the near future which will be a part of the general movement. The organization now maintains offices in the Warburton building and the position and senior degree they have their entire interest in the concerns. Mr. Green said to a representative of the Gazette today: "In Yonkers, we have $63,000 worth of such property. In Tarrytown, $21,000 worth. In Poughkeepsie, $10,000 worth. In Mount Vernon, $35,000 worth. In Larchmont we have $5,000 worth of cottage. In Yonkers we have $16,000 worth of nice three-family houses which we bought all ready built. In Tarrytown we have $2,500 worth of vacant land and in Yonkers $10,000 worth of vacant land, being over $160,000 worth of real property." THE WONDERFUL TWENTY-FOURTH ROOSEVELT'S SAVIORS IN CUBA ON REVIEW IN BUFFALO STALWART SOLDIERS! GROWDS CHEER OUR CRACK REG- ULAR ARMY REGIMENT, JUST BACK FROM THE PHILIP- PINES—SPLENDID RECORD. Special to The Gazette. Buffalo, N. Y.-Buffalo's welcome to the Twenty-fourth infantry last week Wednesday is said by the officers and enlisted men to be one of the kindest experiences in the history of the organization. The request for the morning's parade was backed by thousands of people who turned out to see the troops march up Main street at 11 a.m. A platoon of mounted police cleared the way and Maj. Taggart and the regimental officers, mounted, followed. The great regimental band headed the three battalions, playing martial alrs. Then came the lithic, stalwart African-American troops, led by a drillill and filled among the Pulujanes of Leyte, Samar and Cebu. Never did so many gigantic men parade in Buffalo in any one military organization. Their appearance corroborated the statement of army officers that our troops were more dreaded than any other soldiers of the United States in the Philippines by ENTY - FOURTH INFAILI MENT AS IT WAS PASSING BU reason of their tiger-like ferocity in the battle-line. The record of the regiment, with only one soldier killed and one wounded in hand-to-hand fighting in a score of battlefields in the islands tells the whole story of their puissance. They are among the very best soldiers in the army. Reviewed at City Hall. Main street has not been thronged so mightily since "Old Home Week" as it was when the Twenty-fourth went by. Enthusiasm aroused by the martial appearance of the men in olive drab and khaki, with their short Springfield rifles and murderous looking side arms, burst out in constant rounds of applause. Every man in line had a tin metal case attached to his cartridge belt behind containing a rifle. The parade went up Main street to Church, to Franklin, where it was reviewed by the officials at the city hall. From the line swung up Eagle street to Main, to North street, to Delaware avenue and past the McKinley monument. Thousands lined the streets all along the line of march and gave a warm greeting to the visitors. The escort was composed of the police officer of Fort Porter under command of Capt. J. L. Laffitte. In the evening the Twenty-fourth's crack band gave a grand concert at Convention hall. The regiment left at midnight. Record in Philippines. The Twenty-fourth infantry left the Philippines in February with one of the best records of any organization that has been sent over to pacify those turbulent provinces. It arrived in the Philippines in February, 1906, and was sent at once in big and little details throughout Lyte, Cebu and Samar. Company E opened the ball in July of that year by engaging 800 Pulujanes at Tabon-Tabon in Leye. Company E was under command of Capt. E. H. McMasters, since promoted to be major. The company was assisted by 35 constabulary. The Pulujanes (pronounced Puluhans) and signifying "breeches," were armed with bolos, spears and Springfield rifles, three breeches, attempting to cut the Twenty-fourth in two, but our soldiers stood fast, and killed about 286 of the Pulujanes, wounding many more. Not a man was killed or wounded among the Twenty-fourth, which is considered remarkable in a severe hand-to-hand engagement. Fought Hand to Hand. Corporal Askew expended all of his amunition, and then being surrounded by Pulujanes, clubbed his rifle and wielded it until he broke the stock and SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. bent the barrel. He finished his day's work with a bolo which he wrestled from a Pulutian who was one of his assailants. The entire outfit received honorable mention for their gallantry in that engagement, and Sergt. J. W. Ash and Corporal Askew received certificates of merit. The entire outfit was the Pulutian outbreak. Company G took part in two fights at Ambolgan and Iphag in Leyte, and Company F distinguished itself by taking part in three fights in one day at Abuyog, Leyte, going double time for two miles over the mountains to take part in the third fight. There was not much leftover. Pulutian and many cleaned up the day's work and sat down to supper in the bosque. Their Bravest Work. The Twenty-fourth did good work at Santiago and Siboney, and San Juan Hill in Cuba, where they saved the lives of Col. Roosevelt and the "Rough Riders", but their greatest performance there passed almost unnoticed. At Siboney, yellow fever broke out on Twenty-fourth, and took charge of the sufferers and ultimately almost the entire regiment became infected with the dreaded yellow jack. In the last division athletic meet at Pasay in January the Twenty-fourth carried off the honors. Corporal Lee Taylor won the 100-yard dash in 9 3-5 seconds, and won the obstacle race, also winning the championship with the Philippines. He weighs 175 pounds. The Twenty-fourth also won the baseball championship of the islands, winning four games out of five. The record of splendid exploits would fill a book. They are on record, too, as being the best shots in the army, Lleut-Col. A. A. Augur, in the 1920s, and the record of grip and general debility and Maj. E. F. Taggart of the Second battalion was in command. Women Willing Captives. Several of the soldiers married Visayan women and brought them with them from the islands. The women appeared to be willing captives, and said that many other Visayan women would have come over to America had ENTRY IN BUFFALO Curtesy of Buffalo Evening News. BUFFALO CITY HALL ON REVIEW there been soldier husbands enough to go round. Many of the soldiers have seen 21 years' service in the army, but the majority have served not more than two enlistments. The officers with the Twenty-fourth include Leut-Col. Augur, Maj. Tagger, Capt. C. H. Mitchell, adjutant; Captains Laws, Jenks, Peck, Dashiell, Gose; Lieutenants Mitchell, Knox, Parker, Thompson; Second Lieutenants Williams, Dusberry, Malloy, Steves, Mitchell, Burt and Moorman. All white. The local committee of arrangements for the parade in this city includes W. H. Talbert, chairman; Rev. J. E. Nash, Rev. J. C. Taylor, G. H. Bush, T. J. Anderson, N. S. Fairbush, W. H. Alkerns, W. Bartlett, R. T. Hanson, H. H. Lewis, Rev. D. S. Phillips. Capt. Dahliah claims that the regiment has the best band in the regular army, with the exception of that at West Point. So great was its popularity that the citizens of Manila, of diplomatic corps and foreign legation contribute a $10,000 music library to the band. The garrisoning of the Twenty-fourth at Forts Madison and Ontario is somewhat of a new departure for the army. No regiment of Afro-American troops has been east of the Mississippi river for regular duty since the Civil war with the exception of a battalion at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, and a troop of the Ninth cavalry at Fort Meyer, near Washington, for borough patrol.

For President Senator J.B. Foraker We haven't seen a copy of Fortune's Freeman and the Indianapolis Freeman since they published Taft "bandwagon" editorials. Are they dead? We ought to have a national press association that would be all the name implies, and not the "fake" organization of recent years. Our people should have only the one candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency—SENATOR FORAKER. They are practically a unit now, for him, and we sincerely trust, will remain so. That is the way to win, and we can, and WILL. The New York Age charges Gov. Hughes of New York state with a failure to give a single appointment to an Afro-American. Can this be true? He seems to be alright otherwise, and we had hoped to see him the Republican candidate for vice-president on the ticket with Senator Foraker. A democratic sheriff and deputies, at Montgomery, Ala., dispersed an Afro-American anti-Taft meeting last week Friday evening, called by Bishop Alstork. Things must be getting into pretty bad shape down south for the secretary of war when Democratic aid must be sought by his few friends in that section to break up Foraker meetings. That was a great meeting, held in New York City last week Thursday evening and reported at length on our first page today. They are the kind that every community of our people in this country, should hold, as often as possible, between now and June. Arouse our people as never before, should be the aim of every loyal leader. Rah' for Bishop Walters; a splendid leader. That little Democratic set-back in the senate committee on military affairs, on Tuesday last, which the four "Roosevelt" Republican members of the same, helped by opposing Senator Foraker and his faithful three associate-members, Senators Scott of West Virginia, Hemenway of Indiana and Bulkeley of Connecticut, will not materially affect the final favorable result of the Foraker bill in the senate. Those five prejudiced southern Democratic members of the committee, simply showed their true feeling in the matter, and also their determination to help their friend Roosevelt, in the Brownville controversy, whenever they can even if it is necessary to take a little temporary advantage made possible by the even division in the Republican committee majority of eight. There is one thing in addition to his school work at Tuskegee, for which Dr. Booker T. Washington is entitled to generous support, especially from Afro-Americans, and that is his effort "to preserve and transmit, as a legacy to our people of the country, the home of the Hon. Frederick Douglass at Anacostia, D. C." There is an encumbrance of $5,400, bearing six per cent interest, upon it, and Mr. Washington has for some months been trying to raise the amount. The Douglass property is worth between twenty and twenty-five thousand dollars, and a few years more will triple its present value. Every member of the race who can do so, should contribute whatever they feel able to, sending the same to Dr. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Ala., or to the Douglass Memorial Fund association, Rev. Francis J. Grimke, treasurer, Washington, D. C. Encouraging progress has been made. PROUD OF OUR SOLDIERS. The Buffalo Evening News certainly distanced its local contemporaries (all of whom did well) in its exceptionally well-written and illustrated account of the famous Twenty-fourth infantry's visit to that city last week Wednesday. We are indebted to that excellent paper for not only the splendid triple-column portrait on our first page today, but also for nearly all of the data Mr. Talbert has incorporated in his splendid communication (which accompanies it) anent the "Twenty-fourth," the crack regiment of our four in the regular army. Some one should tell President "Brownville" Roosevelt and Secretary "Distranchisement-Jim-Crow-Car" Taft that we are mighty proud of our soldiers, especially "The Black Battalion" of the Twenty-fifth regiment and Brownville-Roosevelt mud-not-riotry, and we do not propose to permit even those two worthies, even if one of them is the president of this country; to make"scapegoats" of them and thus mar the splendid record of the Afro-American soldier. Nor will we permit the elimination from public life of our soldiers' champion, Senator J. B. Foraker, without striking back in a way that the Republican party and country can least afford, this year particularly, and will never forget. We demand justice and fair treatment for both the battalion and the senator. The Buffalo demonstration upon the part of all classes of its residents, shows conclusively that our brave soldiers have a warm place in the affection of the great masses of the American people generally. In the north at least, in spite of the miserably false Brownville charges and the president's special messages to congress abuse of both soldiers and the entire race, which Secretary Taft endorsed at the time and continues to endorse whenever he refers to the "Brownville affray." There is much, very much satisfaction to be derived from a knowledge of this fact, and Buffalo citizens, generally, are to be thanked by our people of the entire country for the demonstration of last week Wednesday. What is done for or against our soldiers, is done for or against the entire race of Afro-American people. THE CONGRESSMAN WITH A GUN The revolver as a means of enforcing a temperance argument will probably never be recognized as legitimate. Congressman Heflin of Alabama will not live in history as the discoverer of something new and effective. In all probability, the man who was shot will, if he recovers, be more than ever addicted to the drink habit. Neither is it to be imagined that the example of the sufferer will drink when and where they please. Congressman Heflin does not present an entirely heroic aspect in this matter of shooting a colored man. The colored man was certainly misbehaving. for it is neither polite nor considerate to drink whisky on a public conveyance. Perhaps the colored man deserved to be rebuked. If so, it was the duty of the conductor to administer the censure. It was none of the congressman's business, in the first place; and in the second place the colored man had done nothing, even his offense were as aggravated as the Alabama statesman would make it appear. In all seriousness, it must be admitted that Congressman Heffin has proved himself to be an egregious ass. Not only an ass, but more or less of a dangerous one. A man who will be moved to use a firearm as easily as was Mr. Heffin is not gifted with any great armor, and no one who is not brave, but who nevertheless goes about "looking for trouble," is likely to run rash things. It is to be hoped that Mr. Heffin will be tried and punished, as any less important individual would be after having run amuck with a gun. It would be fitting, too, for congress to take some action. Gentlemen from Alabama, even though they bear the credentials of statesmanship, should be given to understand that any Alabama code which permits the shooting of Negroes upon slightest provocation is not in vogue in the national cap. Mr. Heffin, the evil eye of Mr. Heffin's example the humorous side of the incident would appeal most strongly. The congressional "gun man" took upon himself the task of protecting a woman passenger from suspicious annoyance. The fact that the woman husband was present did not deter the chivalrous southron. That this same passive husband received in his anatomy one of the bullets intended to emphasize Mr. Heffin's displeasure at the cruel act of being considered in a sense, retributive justice. Had the husband done the shooting himself he would not have been wounded, and might even have planted some lead in the congressman.-Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer (Dem.) Really the above is refreshing and we thank the Plain Dealer for it, and respectfully ask for more along the same fair line of thought. That individual Heffin, congressman from the Tuskegee, Ala., district, is like Tillman, Dixon, Davis and the rest of the loud and foul-mouthed, brazen ass Negro haters of the south. They are COWARDS, and show it just as Heffin did in that street-car brawl at Washington, D. C., last week. We have never been able to understand why some Afro-American has not, long ago, knucked Tillman's teeth down his throat and finished the job with good, sound beating.

"Queen City" Afro-Americans, Like Nearly All Those of Ohio and the Entire Country, Will Not Support Taft. Cincinnati, O.-In answer to Geo. B. Cox's interview, as published in the Cincinnati Inquirer of March 24th, the undersigned desire to say for the Cincinnati Foraker Constitutional league that the Negro voters of Hamilton county and the state of Ohio, in the event Secretary Taft is nominated for president, would be at the polls. Politically, we are Republicans, but because we are Republicans it does not follow that we are to support a candidate of the Republican party whose actions and deeds are inimical to our race. In the first place, contrary to what Mr. Cox says, the Negro voters of Ohio and the United States are not in favor of opposing Secretary Taft. He has persistently condoned the dischiefment of the Negro race in the south. Again, he upheld the president's action in dismissing "The Black Battalion," although he knew it to be wrong. These two reasons, of themselves, would seem to the average mind to be sufficient cause for rejection of Mr. Taft's presidential nomination. If Secretary Taft, were not guilty of the above mentioned acts and had never done or said anything against the Negro, should we not support the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, who, steadfast, fighting for our constitutional rights—the only man who took up the cause of those outraged Republican party in this and other states might just as well learn now that the Negro voter is getting tired of voting for emblems. The time has come when he must, the same as other races, vote for men and principle, rather than for emblems and parties, for the Republican party, or for us. We will fight persistently the forts of any man; set of men or parties, who have for their purpose the elimination from public life of that grand soldier, statesman and patriot, the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker. JOHN S. FIELDING, Pres. EDWARD JOHNSON, Sec. Dirty and Low The attack made by The Cleveland Journal (Toilet-Paper) upon Senator Foraker was very much uncalled for, and in a letter to The Record, the senator disavows any knowledge of the alleged story. We were in sympathy with this journal during the recent election for mayor in Cleveland, Ohio, and lent whatever feeble support we could to our candidate, but to rake up a lot of rot which occurred long before he was elected. Ohio looked like is more than we can stand. Then to attempt to tell the colored voters of Ohio that Senator Foraker is inimical to their interests, after his many defense of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry, is the most unpardonable act of that paper.—Washington (D. C.) Record. Prof. DuBois on Bryan. It looks like Bryan and Taft. In that case the black voter must do some thinking. Personally, Bryan's record on the Negro is clear. He has made few, if any, specific references to the problem. Yet even in this, he is infinitely better than Taft, whose North Carolina speech said: the Negro is out of politics; the Republicans are willing to keep him on the ground to get him." As between the two men, Bryan is certainly preferable to the coward of Brownsville. As to parties; the Democratic party done has the Democratic party done for the Negro?" About as much as the Negro has done for the Democratic party, and about as much as the Republicans are doing for us. If the Republican party insults the black man by nominating Taft, vote for Bryan—Alexandria (Va.) Horizon. White Men Gamble for White Girl; Sbe Kills the Winner. Columbia, Miss. The following is a reminder of slavery days, only the girl is white. Charles Wesley, well-painted, was shot and killed shortly before daylight Monday by Eunice Spencer, at the end of a poker game which Wesley was playing with P. F. Coombs, with the Spencer woman as the stake. Both men married, and with daughters as old as the girl, who is 20, had been intimate with the girl. The game was to decide her ownership. Wesley won, and while he and Coombs quarreled over the result, the girl shot Wesley through the breast. She declared it was accidental, of course. Gladstone Dowle, the "unkissed," pursued horse thief and shot him on Tuesday at Muskegon, Mich. HEAR CALL 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 republic toward its citizens of color under the present republican administration 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 nullifiers of the constitution in the south constitutes the most fragrant collusion 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 it has remained for the present chief justice of the United States to serve 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, while the defaming and discharging in disgrace of more than a hundred soldiers, all colored, with their own defense is a denial of justice 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 public administration, leaving him stripped of rights, branded and in contempt. In view of these unusual and extraordinary conditions, in view of the attempt of the present zarcoteric regime to perpetuate itself in power in imperial fashion; in view of the open candidacy for the republican party of color of one who in his official position as a cabinet 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 autocratic regime of color of collared officers out trial by executive decree, you as one of a class which almost from necessity 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 of the most invited to national conference of colored men, and of avowed friends to be hold in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., on the 7th day of April, 1905, 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 not invited for the rights and liberties of their class, under the 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 what candidates for the presidential nomination most deserve the support of the colored voters. Please come prepared to make a stand for equal rights and for constitutional liberty for all in these United States without regard to race, color or creed.

Impossible to Satisfy Roosevelt—Hav Proved an Alibi—A Democratic Victory in Senate Commit- tee. Washington, D. C.—The five Democratic members of the senate committee on military affairs Tuesday succeeded in defeating both the Warner and Foraker bills for the restoration to duty of "The Black Battalion," discharged without honor because of the affray at Brownville, Tex. The success of the Democratic minority was accomplished by voting as a unit of the senate, instead of individual publicans on each side). The effect will be to cause both bills to be reported adversely. A majority vote of the senate, however, would enact one of the bills, and Senator Foraker is hopeful that his measure will become law. The essential point of difference between the two bills is that the Warner measure provides that the senate measure would upon becoming satisfied that he is innocent of the charges against him; while the Foraker bill compels the reinstatement of all the soldiers if they take oath of their innocence. Warner and Roosevelt. Inquiry at the war department and elsewhere shows that the enactment of the Warner bill to permit the reenlistment of the members of the discharged battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry, under certain conditions, would alter their status just what it was when the president proclaimed to all the men who could satisfy him of their innocence. About 20 men, including Sergt. Mingo Sanders and other veterans of about 20 years' service, applied for re-enlistment under the conditions there imposed by the president. They were severally examined under oath by both the Army and Navy Department and other high-ranking officers of the army and each member swore that he had not taken part in the Brownville raid and had no knowledge of the persons who did. Their testimony that they were asleep in the barracks at the time of the response to the call when the first was given was supported by the testimony of their officers. Evidence Submitted to President. Copies of the testimony taken in each case were submitted to the president, but availed the men nothing, and the period in which they might be re-enlisted without impairing their continuous service record exiried without favorable action in a single case. This was nearly two months before the senate committee began its investigation of the Brownsville affair. As understood at the war department the Warner bill simply renews for one year the opportunity to the men to be re-enlisted in the army, provided they can satisfy the president of their innocence, a requirement that the only ones who applied for re-enlistment were signally able to meet. It is admitted on all sides that none of the participants in the raid has been identified, and that despite the fate that the entire machinery of the government has been directed that end for more than a year. In view of the armed soldiers who have applied for re-enlistment have already given all the evidence possible under the circumstances to show their non-participation in the raid, it is puzzling their friends to know what "new" evidence they can present which would be satisfactory to the military authorities.

Taft—An industrial office-holder. 2. A well advertised presidential candidate. Poor Politics. That the president, of the United States would carry his hatred of Senator Foraker to the extent of using federal patronage for the procurement of delegates for Secretary Taft was not thought possible. But the attempt to have confirmed by the senate men for federal positions known by the president to be pro-Taft forces us to believe that such is the case. Nor would this in itself be bad, but for the fact that the president cherishes an undying hatred, so unbecoming in any man who stands at the head of a great nation like ours, against Senator Foraker. Meanwhile Senator Foraker, for the course we have, has insured for forty years, stands out for the right and insists that no man shall be permitted, unchallenged, to use the powers of his office for the improper support of his friends. Hence, in consonance with this view, he very properly defeated the confirmation of a large number of federal employees which we have insisted on. We hope the president has learned the lesson to be drawn from such a contest—Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise. Bey, J. W. Lewis Dead Lima, O. —Rev. P.

Todd Throws Some Light on the Business Methods of the Cleveland, O. — "Our first move is to make it as difficult and expensive for independent companies to sell oil as possible. That is our policy. If we allowed the independent concerns to thrive, where would the Standard be in a few years?" That is what was told W. D. Todd of the Corpilanters Oil Co. of Warren, Pa. when he was called to the Standard offices some years ago, he said. Todd, in testifying Wednesday in the government's action against the Standard, threw light on the business methods of the Standard. For 20 years he has been at the head of the Corpilanters company, which is a formidable competitor of the Standard. His firm, years had an expanse of land of about 5,000 barrels of oil illuminating a month and the company also operates a pipe line from Tinsville to Warren, Pa. Some years ago Messrs. Payne, Seep and Tilford of the Standard called Mr. Todd and four other independent refiners to Buffalo, where they were informed that the Naples Oil Company would hold the independent refiners with crude oil unless they turned over their export business to the Standard. The next day Todd said his associates and the trio of Standard representatives went to New York, where a contract was drawn up in the Standard offices at 26 Broadway. One of the ingenuity of the firm's contract was that not a signature was attached to it. But the document nevertheless was binding. WEALTHY MEN INDICTED Alleged Land Thieves Put on Trial for Conspiracy to Defraud Uncle Sam. Washington, D. C. — The trial of the land fraud case against Frederick A. Hyde, John A. Benson, Henry P. Dimond and Joost H. Schneider, involving an alleged conspiracy to defraud the United States out of valuable lands in several western states was begun here Tuesday before just ten months from 14 states are here. This case has been in the courts here and in California for four years. An appropriation of $60,000 was made by congress to cover the cost of the trial. It is believed the trial will continue at least three months. The indictments charge that these persons, with the names of fictitious persons, acquired thousands of acres of school lands in Oregon and California by false entries and forged signatures, the entries later being transferred with the help of information from subsized clerks in the general land office. Benson, a San Francisco millionaire, received extradition, but the United States supreme court decided against him. Binger Hermann, commissioner of the general land office at that time and later representative from Oregon, sent special agents, Holsinger and Magee, out west to investigate. The report was submitted to Hermann, who, it is alleged, held it up. Finally it was brought to the attention of former Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock by Magee. REMAINS TO BE EXHUMED Declare Poison to Be Cause of Detah—Suspicion Directed to Young Widow. Chicago, Ill.—Suspicion similar to that which preceded the arrest of Herman Billik for poisoning several members of the Vrzal family caused Coroner Hoffman Tuesday to procure an order from Judge Kersten for examination of the body of Charles Stroner, 62, who died March 6. Questions raised by relations of the dead man were directed at Mrs. Marie Kara Stroner, whom he married 18 months ago and who is said to be a fortune teller and seller of love potties. The body will be removed from the Boheman National cemetery and an analysis will be made of the contents of the stomach to ascertain the nature of a "white liquid" administered to Stroner for several weeks preceding his death. A motive for the suspected crime which was intimated by persons who requested the investigation was a fortune of $20,000 which became the property of Mrs. Marina Kura Stroner and a soothician at her death. Although a stepson by a former marriage contested the conveyance in the courts.
