TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 38. FOR OUTDOOR WEAR The costume to the left is of toast-colored fine serge, the skirt is long and full at the foot, the only trimming being the four rows of stitching at edge. The long jacket is tight fitting at sides and back, and worn open in front, it is strapped with darker brown silk and is stitched all round edge. A waterfall of silk muslin and lace fills in the front. Hat of pale blue fine straw, trimmed with brown silk, and brown and blue feathers. Materials required for the dress: $8\frac{1}{2}$ yards 48 inches wide, 6 yards silk for lining jacket, 1 yard silk for trimming. For the second, Copenhagen blue fine cashmere is used; the skirt has slight fullness at the hips that is set in short tiny tucks, the lower part is trimmed with wide silk braid. The bolero jacket is tucked at each side, and crosses at the waist, a fold of velvet stands out from the edge of material, forming a sort of vest, that opens over the lace blouse; silk ornaments with cord loops connecting the edges. The open material sleeves are trimmed with braid, and open over the prong ends at elbow in a frill, the tight under sleeves also being trimmed with braids. Straw hat trimmed with flowers. Materials required: 8 yards 46 inches wide, about 1 dozen yards braid, 4 yards silk for lining bolero, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard velvet. Popular Combinations Fashioned in Linen and Lace. The innovation of the jumper and guipure dress was foretold as the end of the lingerie blouse, but the false prophet knows not the ways of woman and ten constancy to the particular article of dress which has taken her fancy. Then how could there be a really correct tailored suit if blouses were to be disregarded? What could even Paris find to take the place of the exquisite bit of linen and lace? The new blouses are chiefly interesting for the variety in arrangement and trimming and, although a blouse is a blouse from every standpoint, there are ugly blouses and pretty blouses, and the models of the year are classed under the latter heading. The combination of a half dozen bits of different laces is considered smart this season, while hand embroidery is employed as a connecting link to hold the samples together. Irish, flet, clun, valenciennes—these are the oftest used, although duchess and applique come in for their share. A tendency to the small yoke is evidenced, especially on the shoulders, while tailored walsts are usually made with long sleeves, though the blouses for more pretentious suits have three-quarter sleeves, as during last year. The new small yokes are made with an arrangement of tucks and insertion, while the linen blouses are inlaid with English eyetel work. Still others are provided with ruffles and cuffs whose scallops have been hand-embroidered. Irish crochet is "let in" a great many of the Parisian models, and, of course, embroidered fillet is both effective and becoming. The blouse has been growing for the past few seasons, always more elaborate and more dressy. The stiff tucked but untrimmed shirt waist of a semi-decade past have been relegated to the trunks containing grandmother's finery and grandfather's uniforms. Return of the Bann Bangs are coming back in fashion, but that does not mean that young ladies need cut their front hair short and do it up in ermps at night, neither smear it with the sticky quince seed and bandline lotions of ancient bang days. The new bang is a soft, fluffy row of what are called pincurls resting on the forehead, just below the pompadour, and they are called pincurls presumably because a good many of them are attached to a hairpin arrangement and tucked in after the pompadour is finished. That is to say, they have no more connection with the wearer's head than have the braids and puffs and curls that decorate the top of it. This little row of curly bangs across the forehead is to be considered more and more anaft as the days go by. Shantung Used in Fascinating Hats. The shantung is used with straw in fascinating little hats and turbans; it is gathered in the center of the crown, then caught with occasional rows of braid to form soft puffs. The broad turned-off brim has at the top a row of straw, then an insertion of lace, with the pongee puffing resting upon the fuzzy hair. Old Material in Fashion. One of the season's revivals in street materials is prunella cloth, a fabric something on the order of cashmere, but heavier and therefore more satisfactory from the tailored standpoint. This year it is brought out in shadow stripes, that showing the chevot being particularly good. THE GAZETTE TWO COATS WITH ONE SKIRT. Usual Order of Things Reversed in Tailored Costumes. One finds the order of things somewhat reversed in the way of tailored costumes, two coats being frequently used with one skirt instead of vice versa, as formerly. The pretty coat, arranged for a pongee skirt for warm weather, is very, very plain. The fronts are curved into the figure slightly and meet in single-breasted fashion. There are darts from the bust line, and just below the waist these switch off very suddenly to a distance half way between the fastening of the coat and the arm seams. Here the stitching stops and there is a deep shash, trimmed on either side with large buttons covered with pongee silk. The buttons used for adjusting the model are made of the same material, but much smaller in size. The sleeves are long and close fitting, showing very novel cuts. These are turned back in regular style, but supplied with tiny pin-money pockets with little laps secured with pink-covered buttons. Pockets seem to be a much-favored embellishment for tailored frocks. They are not built with a view to service, primarily, but give the contourers a chance to ring in any number of original ideas that add indescribably to the effectiveness of a gown. Cambric, nainsook or Indian callco may be used for this dainty night-dress; the back is plain, and reaches quite to the neck, but the front is cut away in a square; the center is closely gathered, then trimmed with a square of embroidery insertion; the opening is edged with a narrow frill of lace. The sleeves reach only to the elbow; they are gathered into narrow bands, covered with insertion, and edged with a deep frill of lace. Materials required: 5 yards 36 inches wide, 1½ yard insertion, 1½ yard narrow lace, and 1¼ yard wide lace. Plaited Wash Skirts. Platted wash skirts will be worn the coming summer, but not the fine plats of last year. They are now fewer plats, but they are laid in double width, thus giving an equal amount of fullness in the skirt with much less labor to the home dressmaker. Hats for All Styles of Beauty. For the round, dimpled faces come quite Dutch bonnets, and frilly French ones for the delicately spit-truelle ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. MASTERLY EFFORT FOR "THE BLACK BAT-TALION!" GENATOR FORAKER'S EXCEPTIONALLY ELOQUENT SPEECH SUMMING UP THE BROWNS-VILLE CASE—THE SEN-ATE CROWDED—A MAGNIFICENT DEFENSE. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Senator Foraker long awaited and remarkable analysis of the Brownville case Tuesday with the ringing remark: "They ask no favor because they are Negroes, but only for justice because they are men." For two hours the senate and packed galleries heard a master of legal lore sum up the case for the defense of our discharged "without honor" soldiers of the Twentieth Amendment. Senator Hawkeborn held a manuscript in his hall, but he so familiar with his material that he seemed to be speaking without it, and he spoke eloquently. "Before entering upon this labor," said Mr. Foraker, in opening his speech, "it may not be amiss to remark, in view of the many misstatements that have been made, that the purpose of this investigation has not been to embarrass the president or anybody else; nor has it been a political or otherwise, against anybody for anybody." He reviewed the various incidents and orders that led up to the outrageous discharge of the men. Most of the witnesses against the soldiers he said testified four different times concerning the affray. "Their testimony so given is sufficiently contradictory to show that it is unreliable, he said, "but aside from the fact that they were the witnessness of the night, many things that were testified to by these witnesses could not have possibly been observed by them." Most Sensational Speech! The senator's speech was, too, one of the most sensational ever delivered in the halls of congress. He hurled thunderbolts of denunciation at the heads of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft because they dismissed our three companies of soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville, Tex., riot. HIT WOULD SEEM WE ARE TO BE CARRIED BACK IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE TO THE DAYS WHEN MEN AND WOMEN PUT ON TRIAL FOR WITCHCRAFT FOUND NO AVENUE OF ESCAPE FROM PUNISHMENT, BRUTALITY AND EXECUTION EXCEPT ONLY IN CONFESSION," HE EXCLAIMED. He opposed the so-called administration measure, recently introduced by Senator Warner (Mo.), which will permit any of the discharged men to enlist upon "proving to the satisfaction of the president" that they predeceased the company in shooting up the town. In deference bill became a law it would compel the soldiers to appear for justice "before a judge who had already prejudged their case—not once, twice or thrice, and casually, but repeatedly and officially, and each time with a manifestation of the most unqualified conviction that not only some of the men discharged did the shooting, but that many, if not all of them, had knowledge of the perpetrators which, through a conspiracy of silence, they sarcasm he remarked: "By what right does the senator from Missouri assume that the president is capable of such a manifest impropriety?" "WITHOUT PRECEDENT." He continued: "The vilest horse thief, the most dangerous burglar, or the most murderer would not be required to admit to a trial before a judge who had in even the most casual way expressed the opinion that the defendant was guilty. Such a performance would be justly denounced as a denial of one of the most sacred rights of citizenship, and a lasting disgrace to the judge who perpetrated it. "It would be without precedent for it may be safely asserted that never before in the history of civilization has a legislative body been invited to take an oath of allegation to their innocence before a hostile judge who has already adjudged their guilt, and never before has there been a suggestion that any man worthy to sit in judgment upon the rights of his countrymen would accept a duty, if assigned to him, if conscious of having the slighest prejudice against the accused." Senator Foraker was anxious to know who it was purposed should aid the president in examining the testimony in each case. "POSSIBLY SECRETARY OF WAR AND HISTORY HAS AGREEMENT WITH THE PRESIDENT IN ALL THAT HE HAS SAID AND DONE IN THE WHOLE BROWNSVILLE MATTER." HE ADDED. THEY ARE AMERICANS "But Taft, too, is a busy man, and would doubtless require the help of a suitable subordinate." He said the men are not now soldiers to be dealt with arbitrarily, but plain American citizens, entitled to the same rights white men would have under the same conditions. "We should remember, as Taft said of the white soldiers who shot up the town of Athens, O, that the government, and for that reason she titled, under such circumstances, to the protection of the government in all their legal rights." Senator Foraker urged the passage of his restoration bill, which would restore the men to their full rights and enable them to get back into the army on taking oath that they did not do the shooting and were ignorant of the guilty. He carefully reviewed the testimony in the congressional investigation to show the innocence of the soldiers. PAYS TRIBUTE TO OUR SOLDIERS' VALOR. In closing Senator Foraker paid a tribute to the valor of Nero soldiers. "They are," he said, "typical representatives of a race that has ever bled to do American and American institutions; a race that has never raised a hostile hand against our country's flag; a race that has contributed to the nation tens of thousands of brave defenders, not one of whom has ever turned tiger or faltered in his fidelity. "They are the direct and worthy successors of the brave men who so heroically died at Petersburg, at Wagner, and on scores of bloody fields, that this nation might live. Faithfully, united with pride and dedication, they have performed all their duties and kept all their obligations. They ask no favors because they are Negroes, but only for justice because they are men." OUR PEOPLE CHÉER! GONSTRUPPLE CHEER! Congress probably has never seen so many of our people assembled as thirteen members of day afternoon. They filled the public galleries, crowded into the reserve galleries and overfilled it to the seats held for special friends and the families of the members. Those who could not enter the galleries stood outside in long patient lines until the word was passed along that Senator Forrest held for the senator. Redundant, serious, earnest, attentive. Not until the end did they interrupt, but then they gave the champion of the race applause until the usually languid Fairbanks, presiding as the president, almost broke his gavel in his effort to restore order. The senators generally kept their seat to the Senator Forrest to the end and there was a large attendance of house members. He minced no words in characterizing what he called the prejudice of Inspector General Garlington and other officers who reported to the president that the soldiers of "The Black Battalion" were guilty of shooting up Brownsville, the town that was the most criminal lawsuming up the case for the defense, deft, able, eloquent, convincing. In brief, his argument was that the case against the discharged soldiers rested on the testimony of four discredited witnesses who testified to facts of observation which the darkness of the night alone made dubious, at best, the evidence elicited most of his evidence that no matter shot up Brownsville, the administration had not made a case against our soldiers.

Prefers Tillman to Taft—Our Last Congressman Declares "He Would Rather Vote for an Avowed Enemy Than for a Man Who Stabbed Him in Back"—Resolutions Officers, etc. Philadelphia, Pa.—The conference of Negroes from various sections of the country, called by Bishop Alexander Walters and others, was held here last week. Tuesday and Wednesday, for the purpose of protesting against the nomination of Secretary of War William H. Taft for the presidency and to petition the senate to pass the Foraker bill to restore the soldiers of "The Black Battalion" who were dismissed from the service following the alleged shooting up of Brownsville. BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS. Twenty-seven states were represented by 200 delegates. Ex-Congressman George H. White, who presided, said he would sooner vote for an avowed enemy like Benjamin R. Tillman than a man who stabbed him in the back (like Taft or Roosevelt). Rev. J. M. Waldron of Washington, speaking on the discharge of the soldiers, described it as an unspeakable outrage. President Roosevelt's action, he said, was to force Roosevelt and the Negroes would never condone the afront until every soldier had been restored to his position, all pay, etc." The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Be it resolved, That we Reiterate, with all the emphasis of which we are concerned in the nomination of Roosevelt or Taft, that we will vite defeat at the polls in November next, and we wish to advise and warn the Republican national convention against the selection of either as the standard-bearer of the Republican party. And this conference advises our people, in the event of the selection of either Roosevelt or Taft, that we will support to such other candidates as shall best serve their interests. We want to smash "Jim Crow" cars, and if we cannot smash them we will undertake to smash the party which, being in power, tolerates them. We want to see a strong Republican party in the south, but we demand that pleonage be stopped to call the attention of the Republican congress to the fact that the black man of the south is a peon as well as the foreigner, and we feel that we are entitled to as much consideration as the party has only recently come to our shores. Other resolutions and an able "Address to the Country" were adopted denouncing President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft for the discharge of 167 soldiers at Brownsville, Tex, without trial; declaring for Foraker as the first choice for the presidency; also protesting against "Jim Crow" cars and the disfranchisement of Afro-American voters of the south. At the final mass meeting the delegates applauded vigorously the scathing criticism passed by all the speakers upon Roosevelt by retracting the threat of Negro and upon Taft for concurring in these measures, as well as condoning the constitutional amendments of southern states which have practically disfranchised those of the race in that section of the country. The following are the permanent officers of the National Political league: President, J. Milton Waldron, Washington; vice presidents, Curley Brewer, Indiana, Rev Byron Gunner, New York, George W. Woodson, Iowa, Bishop H. M. Turmer, Georgia, and G. H. Hawkins, Delaware, and William T. Ferguson, Louisiana, assistant secretary, William T. Ferguson, Washington; corresponding secretary, William M. Trotter, Boston; treasurer, H. Geo H. White, Philadelphia. The conference adjourned to meet in Chicago the week before the national Republican convention. Taft Getting His Bumps Columbus, O.—Secretary Taft received last week the hardest bumps he has been up against since he was stung by the presidential bee. He was hit particularly hard in Delaware and Illinois. One hundred and sixteen delegates were chosen, and Taft got only 29 of them—exactly one-fourth. Thus his total percentage has run down to 55—a slump of 11 per cent since the first election. His delegation 29 were instructed for Taft for Hughes, 8 for Cannon, 25 for La-Follette, 14 for Foraker and 16 were uninstructed. It will be worse for him this week and from now on until June. He cannot be nominated.

For President Senator J.B. Foraker The Roosevelt administration has done some good and effective work in the courts against southern peonage. Why the "let-up" in the prosecution of this grinding slavery, in the last ten months? We wish to call our readers' attention, particularly, to Rev. H. W. Smith's advertisement elsewhere in this paper. We think he has something that will interest and benefit you. Our Knights of Pythias have sustained a tremendous loss in the death of their grand chancellor, Mr. S. W. Starks, of Charleston, W. Va. His excellent wife, mother and sister, as well as the order, have our heartfelt sympathy in their great bereavement. The race conference held in Phila delphia last week Tuesday and Wednesday was a perfect success, and as a result, we are again compelled to call attention to the splendid leader ship Bishop Alexander Walters is giving the race, these days. Let us all rally around him because he is not only right, but brave, fearless, able loyal and trustworthy. LEAD ON BISHOP! Here is one who will foll low you and your kind of Afro-Ameri cans as long as you are fighting for the race. Giving out interviews on the miserable "Jim Crow" car system of the south which his interstate commerce commission has made even worse by its harmful "decisions" not founded in good law; and appointing a few Negroes to tenth rate political jobs, will not in the least absolve President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft from full responsibility for their shameful treatment of "The Black Battalion" and their gratuitous insults to our people in their special messages to congress anent the Brownville riot (so-called), in the winter of 1907. That sort of "jolly" has been worked on our people for the last time. That story from Washington, D. C. relative to Senator Foraker and the Bethel Literary society, published in Tuesday's Cleveland Leader, is too silly to pay any attention to what ever. It is simply another desperate effort of the Taft management, to divide the Foraker following among our people, which means so nearly all of them that we are justified in saying all. Much the same sort of an effort (desperate) is another announcement, from Washington, that "Walter S. Thomas was chairman of the Ohio Afro-American league, with headquarters at Columbus, O." Absolutely not truth in this, either. The Washington Taft bureau liar is very busy these days. In sheer desperation, the administration has caused a few Negro news papers (those sucking the Taft sub-sidy barrel), to publish a list of Afro American's names (some dead and some living), who have held or are holding federal jobs, and asks more or less dramatically (?) "does this look like discrimination?" The amusing part of the silly "grand stand play" is the fact that the great majority of those whose names appear on the list, are not in the least indebted to Roosevelt, Taft or the present administration for the government positions they hold. Try as it, or they (the subsized sheet) may, the responsibility for that Brownville "discharge without honor" cannot be shifted, overshadowed or lost sight of for a single moment, as far as our people are concerned at least. We're going to hold Roosevelt and Taft and the Republican party's "noses to the grindstone" until they mete out full justice in every way to "The Black Battalion," and they had better do this, too, before the November election. Hon. Henry T. Eubanks is authority for the statement (so Goe. W. Johnson of this city informs us) that the Tippacone Republican club refused W. Appo Johnson an invitation and ticket to its Taft banquet of some weeks ago, because he is an Afro-American. One thing sure and that is the Afro- American waiters were barred from the banquet hall while Secretary "Difranchisement-Jim" Crow Car" Taft was speaking and at the close of his speech or the banquet, were asked to enter and shake hands with him—something only three or four out of about 40 would do. Afro-Americans have never been "popular" with the Tippecano club or Taft either, it seems. Mr. Lyman Treadway, the Taft "Republican" candidate for lieutenant governor of Ohio, is president of the club and must be thoroughly familiar with the continued (for years) ostracising of Afro-Americans by the Tippecano club. If memory serves us correctly, George A. Myers of this city, and other Afro-Americans, have received, in years gone by, the same treatment said to have been accorded Wappo Johnson. THE GREATEST AMERICAN! Senator Foraker's great speech in the United States senate, Tuesday, on the Brownsville matter, and in defense of our outraged soldiers, speaks for itself far better than any one else can. It will too, tink deep into the hearts of all of our people everywhere, clinching the Brownsville case in such a way as only they can understand. We repeat: What is done for or against our soldiers, is done for or against the entire race of Afro-American people! Long life and more power to that grand statesman, orator, jurist and greatest champion of human rights of today, SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER, is the prayer ascending from the very hearts of millions of Afro-American people, these days. He stands out so boldly, yet modestly, and so clearly, the greatest American of today, that comparison with any other man in public life would not only be odious but simply ridiculous. Where is there one, with such magnificent courage of conviction, such splendid ability and breadth of mind, such tenacity, as the senator has evidenced since August 13, 1906, the date of the alleged Brownsville riot? O, that there was just one more to help him on the floor of the United States senate! That he will win the battle, in the end, there is now every indication. What a wonderful one it has been! All on one side and he, alone, on the floor of the senate, with Senators Scott, Bulkeley, and Hemenway assisting him in the committee on military affairs. Simply WONDERFUL, has been the senator's fight. Only the historian of the future and our people of today, tomorrow and all time, will give him full credit for the same. ROOSEVELT, TAFT AND THE SOUTH. President Roosevelt, in his effort to please the prejudiced south, says he "finds nothing in the law which forbids separate ('Jim Crow' car) accommodations," and he is right as far as the United States supreme court can decide in the case of intra-state passengers—those traveling from one point to another within the borders of a state. He is wrong, however, as regards inter-state passengers—those traveling from a point in one state to another in some other state. And if he will "look" a little longer and more carefully with eyes other than those of the southern sympathizing members of his inter-state commerce commission, he will find IT, too. the president's and Taft's persistence in an effort to pander to the prejudices of the south against our people and regardless of how much they injure us, is really remarkable when one remembers how near is the date of the national Republican convention. There is but one way for those of us here in the north to strike in our own defense and that of our "Jim Crowed" and disfranchised people in the south, and that is at the ballot-box in November, providing of course Roosevelt or Taft is nominated. All the leading daily newspapers in the country agree that the President's letter of April 2 to Attorney General Bonaparte suggesting that injunctions be sought against southern railways which fall to furnish the same accommodations to Afro-American passengers paying first-class fare, that are furnished to white passengers, is a political play to the Afro-American galleries, and we agree with them. It will amount to nothing. Mark our prediction! AFTER SOME OF THE TAFT SUB SIDY. The following is from the Cincinnati Enquirer of April 8: Members of the Ohio Colored Press association called upon Secretary Taft at the residence of C. P. Taft during the foremono. He addressed them with reference to questions that have been under discussion by the leading colored people of the country for several months past. The following colored editors (?) were present: W. L. Anderson, George Jackson, Leslie Tull, Henry Underwood, Samuel Hill, Argus, Cincinnati; Jas. Poston, Dayton Observer; Jas. Lee, Columbus News; Daniel Purnell, Xenia Standard; Phil Brown, Hopkinsville (Ky) Daily News, and others. The scope of this article will be further with this editorial friends and created an impression that sent the colored editors forth to take up and push his cause with the utmost enthusiasm. There is no such thing in existence as the "Ohio Colored Press association," and there never has been. Anderson, Jackson, Tull, Underwood and Sam Hill are Cincinnati Negro politicians, not editors or journalists, who are under the influence of the Taft subsidy which breathed life into the Argus (Hill, publisher) a few weeks ago. They do not even represent an insignificant minority of our people of their own wards in Cincinnati, Senator Foraker's home city, Poston's Dayton Observer, but a few months old, a very little paper in more respects than one, succumbed to the baneful influence of the Taft subsidy a few weeks ago, after its editor had made a number of unsuccessful trips to the "Queen City" to "see" Senator Foraker, Lee's Columbus "Saturday Evening News," like the Cincinnati Argus, was born and baptized in the Taft subsidy. Purnell's Xenia Standard has been dead for several years, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1908. unless it has been born again in recent weeks by the Taft subsidy. 'As to Editor Brown of Kentucky, he is for Foraker, and like the editor of the poor dead Xenia Standard, has had the misfortune to have his name and that of his paper used without his permission. It can at once be seen how unnecessary it was for Secretary Taft to waste a whole "hour with his editorial friends" of color. The subsidy had already done the work. They may "take up" Taft's "cause" but when it comes to "pushing" it here in Ohio among Afro-Americans, they will have a hardier job by far than Taft and Roosevelt, both, have had to convict the innocent members of that outraged "Black Battalion," of committing a crime, they not even possessed "guilty knowledge" of. Those traitorous, subsidized Negroes, few, so few, calling on Secretary Taft at the residence of his millionaire half brother, C. P. Taft, are a very good indication of the desperate effort being made by the Roosevelt administration and the managers of the fast waning Taft boom, to break even in a small degree the tremendous force of the practically unanimous, aggressive opposition of our people to the Taft candidacy and President Roosevelt. It is a foolish waste of time, effort and money, gentlemen! That Brownsville matter must be settled right, Roosevelt and Taft must divorce the south, and the latter get right on the disfranchement and "Jim Crow" car questions. Yes, and on the "Negro question," too. To Reimburse Freedman's Bank Depositors Washington, D. C.—The United States senate has passed a bill for the reimbursement of depositors of the defunct Freedman's Savings bank. It provides that the commissioners of the Freedman's Savings and Trust Co., with the approval of the secretary of the treasury, pay to all depositors of the trust company, whose accounts have been properly verified, or their legal representatives, a sum of money equal to the balance due these depositors at the time of the failure of the company, less the amount of dividends which may have been paid from the assets of the company.

MIDNIGHT ASSASSINES THE SQUARE DEAL DOOP OF HOPE TAFT DRAGS SOLDIERS BY THE NECK TO ROOSEVELT WHO KICKS THEM IN! OUR BISHOPS AND SPEAK RIGHT OUT --- IN A RESOLUTION THAT MAKES LOYAL AFRO-AMERICANS PROUD OF THEM. Washington, D. C.—The bishops of the A. M. E. church, in concluding their annual sessions at Metropolitan church here on February 18, 1908, adopted the following resolution, which was accepted by the blessing of Zion A. M. E. and the M. E. churches, who were also in session here at that time: "That we enter now and here our solemn protest against the monstrous injustice done The Black Batallion by the Jews charged the 167 brave men without honor or trial of any kind and merely on a suspicion of their guilt in the Brownsville affray, and against the hardly less wrong done these same men by the plant and cowardly men of the high injustice of the president. "That in consequence of the many sins of commission and omission of the Republican party against its faithful black contingent in the south, of its Lily White movement and the contempt and support given by the party to the unrestricted instillation, of the unmerited and illegal punishment of the black battalion by the president and the approval of the same by his secretary of war, we, the colored ministers of the A. M. E. the A. M. E. Zion, and the C. M. E. churches, of the United States in association with the United States in Washington, do hereby raise our voice in stern and solemn warning to the coming Republican national convention not to put in nomination for the presidency either President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft on pain of having the party be given government at the polls next November the almost solid colored vote of the north."

He should be gladly and quickly rendered. They owe it to him to stand by him and aid him as far as possible to secure the nomination at Chicago when the national convention meets. Like the immortal three hundred and five that stood by Gen. Grant, they owe it to the end to matter who is nominated—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American "What are the bugles blowin' for?' said Files-on-Parade. "To turn us out, to turn us out," the colored sergeant said; "What makes the Colonel look so white?" said Flieson-Parade. "He's dreadin' what he's got to watch," the colored sergeant said. "For the order's come from Washington to fire us all today; They'll cut off all our buttons and they'll rip our stripes away; We'll throw our savin', and they'll even keep our pay. And Old Glory can't protect us in the mornin'." "What makes the Captain breathe so hard?" said Files-on-Parade. "We're all a-breathin' hard to day," the sergeant said. "What makes that front rank man fall down?" said Files-on-Parade. "Perhaps he's thinking of Pine Ridge," the colored sergeant said. And they treat us like traitors, though no traitor has been found. And Old Glory's droopin' sadly in the mornin'." "There's twelve of us served twenty years, said Files-on-Parade. 'We'll be here more,' more," the colored sergeant said. "We've wore the blue, we've wore the blue," said Files-on-Parade. "And now they say we've shot the town," the colored sergeant said. "I have fought with the Apaches, I My brother was at San Juan Hill, a kinder dangerous place. But all that we or ours has done can't save us from diggrace. And they'll take Old Glory from us in the mornin'." "What's that so black again the sun?" said. Files on Parade. "Our color; nothin' we've done," the colored sergeant said; "Is it that they hold agin us, then?" said Files-on-Parade; "Well, it colors their decision some," the colored sergeant said. "We have fought beneath Old Glory when it floated brave and free. But the flag we would have died for doesn't cover you ner me.

If Mr. Roosevelt thinks that the Negroes as a whole will vote for either him or Mr. Taft if nominated, he is a badly deceived man. For this one time if never before, the Negro is united against any man brought out by the administration. So greatly are they opposed to Taft that if he is nominated, he will not be elected. The Negroes will vote for any candidate in preference to Roosevelt or Taft, Vardaman and Tillman not excepted. Our first choice for the Republican nomination for the presidency is Joseph B. Foraker. He is our only choice. Mason chooses to leave to the judgment of the time-servers and cowards and hypocrites who are about to destroy the Republican party—Richmond (Va.) Reformer. The Taft men in the south are the federal office holders. They are things who do not think but eat; whose bellies are their gods. Senator J. B. Foraker is the man for the Negroes to vote for in the coming election, and if they can't vote for him, vote for Bryan, that they may be felt the war is over (they have clung so long—Nashville (Tenn.) Monitor, Organ of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. That Negroes were recently barred from a Bryan meeting or lecture in the south, is not surprising when one remembers the treatment (worse) of Afro-Americans right here in Cleveland—in the north if you please—a few weeks ago at the Tippecanoe Republican Taft banquet.

Foraker—One who studies public questions and has the courage to express his convictions and vote accordingly. 2. One who incurs the enmity of Roosevelt because of his intellectual inertia. Taft—One who obeys the president and allows himself to be used to destroy Foraker. 2. A good natured jollier. Foraker—One who speaks at Chattanooga, indorses the war amendments and condemns disfranchisement. 2. One who encourages the Republicans of the south to renew their political activity. Taft—One who speaks at Greensboro, N. C. encourages disfranchisement, discourages southern Republicans of both races, and flatters the southern Democracy. Foraker—One who sought Republican harmony in Ohio. discord in Ohio, and refused harmony. Foraker—One who spoke for the constitutional rights of all men regardless of race. 2. One who answered Tillman on the race question. Taffer—The spoke against the constitutional rights of the colored man in the south. 2. One who referred to the colored Jamaicans who are digging the Panama canal as "shiftless" and "unusatisfactory," and that night hour law need not apply to them. Foraker—A great lawyer. Taft—A lawyer who tried one case, 2. One who recently drank the health of the czar of Russia where hundreds of Jews are killed and mobbed. Foraker—The greatest debater in the senate.

Foraker—The only union soldier of the war of the rebellion in the list of presidential candidates. Taft—The president's candidate.

Taft—One who is not identified with the passage of any of the great laws of the country. Foraker—Several times beaten for offense, always arose and prevailed in the end, because of the immutability of the principles for which he stood.

An Irishman who served on board a man-of-war was selected by one of the officers to haul in a towline of considerable length that was towing over the taffrail. After pulling in 40 or 50 fathoms, which had put his patience severely to proof, as well as every muscle of his arms, he muttered to himself: "Surely it's as long as to-day and tomorrow. It's a good week's work for any five in the ship. Bad luck to the leg or the arm it'll leave at last. What, more of it yet? Och, murder! The say's might deep, to be sure!" After continuing in a similar strain and conceiving there was little probability of the completion of his labor, he suddenly stopped short, and, addressing the officer of the watch, exclaimed: "Bad manners to me, sir, if I don't think somebody's cut off the other end of it!"—The Pathfinder.

Money spent for "tonics" and "bracers" to relieve indigestion, while the poor old stomach is loaded with pastry and pork, is worse than losing a pocketbook containing the money. If the money only is lost it's bad enough, but with lost health from wrong eating, it is hard to make the money back. A Mich. young lady lost money on drugs but is thankful she found a way to get back her health by proper food. She writes: "I had been a victim of nervous dyspepsia for six years and spent three hundred dollars for treatment in the attempt to get well. None of it did me any good. "Finally I tried Grape-Nuts food, and the results were such that, if it cost a dollar a package, I would not be without it. My trouble had been caused by eating rich food such as pastry and pork. "The most wonderful thing that ever happened to me, I am sure, was the change in my condition after I began to eat Grape-Nuts. I began to improve at once and the first week gained four pounds. "I feel that I cannot express myself in terms that are worthy of the benefit Grape-Nuts has brought to me, and you are perfectly free to publish this letter if it will send some poor sufferer relief, such as has come to me."

Cheeks and Garrett Morgan bought seats for the Hippodrome on Tuesday evening which the management did not want to give them, and tried to persuade them to take cheaper seats, which they refused to do. Mr. Cheeks retained his check. The theater player finally returned Mr. Morgan's check and gave them the seats their checks called for, it is said. The Z club baseball team is organizing under the management of Messrs. Edward Doctor and William Hunley. The boys are already issuing challenges right and left, and evidently mean to clean up. They claim that marigold Champs, the "Cabal" team other local Afro-American teams have already started for the "tall timber" in fear and trembling because of the strong prospects of the Z club team. The Gazette received a very pleasant visit last week from Mrs. Ida Walker Hackney of Philadelphia and her sister, Mrs. Mollie Walker Colston. Mrs. Hackney came to the city recently to attend her father's funeral, after an absence of more than a dozen years, and to see her brother, Mr. Thomas Walker, who resides on the grounds of the Case School of Applied Science, East End, and her sister, Mrs. Colston. Mrs. Hackney has her daughter, a very promising young miss, with her and to remain in the city only until after Easter. She was one of our most popular young ladies in the city, and in her old home, who are delighted to again see and meet her after so long an absence in the east. Edwin J. Chessmur and Theodore B. ("Dode") Green were on last week Friday evening refused 75-cent seats they had purchased that evening in the Hippodrome and were at the same time accorded most miserable treatment by employees who threatened to throw them out, after their seat checks were torn up. Mr. Chessmur told a representative, "He Gazzette last Saturday morning that the employees arrested for the mistreatment but that they would also enter two suits for $500 damages against the theatre under our Ohio civil rights law. They certainly have good cases and witnesses. Their case against one Daniel L. McCalley, a special "Hippodrome" policeman who struck them both, arrested on a charge of assault and battery, came up in police court Monday morning and was continued. All such discrimination in this city can be stopped and will be when our people will contend for their right to court. Courts have curbed store-keepers Green and Chessmur have a splendid opportunity to do their full duty and we certainly expect THEM to "make good." We believe they will, too. When the curtain went up, McCalley left them in the seats they had taken, so they saw the "show." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY. APRIL 18, 1908.

One Dose in Time, Saves Nine. Many people persist in riding on the street cars, insufficiently protected by clothing. They start out perhaps in the heat of the day and do not feel the need of The rapid moving of the car cools the body unduly. When they board the car perhaps they are slightly perspiring. When the body is in this condition it is easily chilled. This is especially true when a person is sitting. Beginning a street car ride in the middle of the day and ending it in the evening almost invariably requires extra wraps, but people do not observe these precautions, hence they catch cold. Colds are very frequent in the Spring on this account, and as the Summer advances, they do not decrease. During the Spring months, no one should think of riding on the car without being provided with a wrap. A cold caught in the Spring is liable to last through the entire Summer. Great caution should be observed at this season against exposure to cold. During the first days of Spring, inability to tolerate cold is great. No wonder so many people require muscular rheumatism and catarrhal diseases during this season. However, in spite of the greatest precautions, colds will be caught. At the appearance of the first symptom, Peruna should be taken according to directions on the bottle, and continued until every symptom disappears. Once the symptoms have disappeared, the pain at once to take Peruna and continue taking it until you are positive that the cold has entirely disappeared. This may save you a long and perhaps serious illness later on. There is Only One "Bromo Quinine" That is Laxative Bromo Quinine USED THE WORLD OVER TO QUITE A GOLD IN ONE DAY.

He treated her, but the disease spread to her back, and then the whole of her head was affected, and all her hair had to be cut off. The pain she suffered was excruciating, and with that and the heat and tingling her life was almost unbearable. Occasionally she was delirious and she did not have a proper hour's sleep for many nights. The second doctor we tried afforded her just as little relief as the first.

A FINE GATHERING Was the District Conference—Strong Sermons—Splendid Papers—Personal Mention—Those in Attendance. STANDS FOR "HUMAN RIGHTS!" Dirty Action of That Virginia "Republican" Convention—Senator Forake: Speaks! Washington, D. C.—An enthusiastic greeting was given to Senator Foraker last Saturday at the A.M. E. church in session here. In introducing the Ohio senator Bishop Gaines paid him a cordial tribute as "The friend and defender of our people." In course of his address, Senator Foraker said that he had been engaged during all his life in preaching the gospel. Without a doubt, he, "you are engaged, religious men in preaching the gospel, you and I nevertheless are co-workers in preaching that morality which makes for good government." "You see," the senator added, "I try to stick to my text, but before I know it I lose my religion in talking to you. I lost it when heard of the chancellor I lost when heard of the goa. I lost it again when I heard of the Brownville affair. I would not have referred to that unhappy blot if you had not insisted upon it. And I lost it only a few days ago when I read of the action of the Virginia Republican convention at Lynchburg that ignored the delegates of your race. I think it was a shame, and I care, who knows it. I did care to criticise my party, but I do condemn those who misrepresent it. "The question that was raised in that Virginia convention will be carried for settlement to the next national convention at Chicago. We will find out there whether the party of Lincoln, of Grant and of McKinley is a "illy white" party. If it is, I assure it that I will stand for the parties in the field, which will stand for the rights of humanity. Religion and the right kind of politics go hand in hand "I have been quarrelling with my friends of the south for forty years because of their grandfather clauses, their prejudices and other heresies. If I have quarrellled with them for forty years, I certainly have the right now to quarrel with those who misrepresent the Republican party. According to the law, Afro-Americans are entitled to vote in Virginia when the Democrats vote, and they are protected in that right. Why, then, have they not the right to vote when the Republicans vote? I don't belong to a party, and I dislike politics for such a thing. I am an old fashioned Republican. I think more of human rights than of trusts and corporations." School children should be taught to invariably salute policemen, according to Mrs. Edward Roby of Chicago.

MACHINE-GROUND PAINT. Occasionally one hears the "hand-mixed" paint of the painter slightly skinned of as "unscientific" and "not thoroughly mixed." The facts are all on the side of the painter and his hand-prepared paint. It is the most "scientific" paint there, because it is made on the spot, to suit the particular purpose for which it is to be used. It is as scientific as a good doctor's prescription. If the painter did not mix it thus it would be as unscientific as a patent medicine. Moreover, the paint which a good painter turns out is made of genuine white lead and pure linedse oil. If he does not mix it himself he is not sure what is in it, and consequently his client cannot be sure. As for not being thoroughly mixed by machinery, that is simply a misstatement. White Lead as made by National Lead Company is thoroughly incorporated with 7 or 8 per cent of pure Linedse oil in the factory, making a paste. This paste need only be thinned with additional linedse oil to make it ready for the brush. The thorough incorporation of pigment and oil has already been accomplished before the painter gets it. To know how to tell pure white lead is a great advantage to both painter and artist. The Lead Company will send a tester tester interested. Address the company at Woodbridge Building, New York, N. Y. MADE HIS MEANING CLEAR. Professor's Son Translated Father's Speech Into the Vernacular. A college professor, in company with his son, was enjoying a walk in the country, when he met an old farmer. It had been a very wet season, and the professor, thinking to start the conversation in a way that would prove interesting to the farmer, remarked: "There has been a rather abnormal precipitation of late." The farmer seemed somewhat embarrassed, and the professor's son, who used a different vernacular, though he was a student in the college to which his father was attached, attempted to straighten out the matter. Drawing the farmer to one side, he said in a superior way: "The governor means that we've been having a devil of a lot of rain." -Harper's Weekly. SPRING KIDNEY TROUBLE. Vividly Described by One Who Has Suffered from it. Mrs. H. Mutzabaugh, of Duncannon, p.a. says: "I was sick, and miserable all last Spring and as I did not know what was the matter I kept going down and down until I was a physical wreck. I had smothering spells, flashes of heat over the kidneys and pain in passing the kidney secrections, which contained sediment. My husband urged me to try Donan's kidney Pills, and at last I did so. They did me much good, and I used in all eight boxes which restored me to perfect health." Sold by all dealers, 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Prompt Payment.

"You can go to see your other patients at night," she said, "why can't you come when I send for you? Ain't my money as good as other people's?" "I don't know, madam," was the reply, "I never saw any of it." Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

MONROE DRUG CO., Quincy, Illinois. NEW ARRIVALS IN CANADA NEARLY 300,000 IN 1907. ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND FROM THE UNITED STATES. Now that it is known that in the year just closed nearly sixty thousand from the United States declared their intention of making their homes in Canada, it might not be out of place to search for some reasons that would bring this about. These people are but following the example of the fifty-five or sixty thousand who did the same thing the year previous, and an almost equal number who the year before that but followed the example of the thousands of the year preceding. An excellent climate, certain and positive crops of grain of all kinds, good markets for their produce, land—and good land, too—at low prices, easy terms of payment, (not forgetting the 160 acres of land given free by the Government, particulars of which the Canadian Government Agent whose name appears elsewhere will tell you about) and then the splendid social conditions. The situation is pretty well sized up by a writer in one of the magazines. Quoting from this article, we find this: "Those of us who made good in the States," interjected another settler as if to continue the story of his neighbor, "have had it easy from the start; a little money is a mighty good thing on coming into a new country. But those who make an entry, or even lands in low rates, are able to square lands in two or three seasons' crops. There are hardships in building shanties, and then with increasing prosperity getting things into shape for better homes. But affairs go much as in the States. We have the largest liberty in the world; there is more home rule in the Provinces than in the several states of the Republic. Taxes are light and with only a few million people west of Winnipeg we don't get in each other's way. One's friends over the lake probably thought we would not live through the winter; and while it is cold, real cold, it is free from the moisture experienced in the east. Schools are good as encouraged by the Government; the enterprising American promoter and Yankee drummer see to it that we take notice, of the latest improvements and best agricultural machinery. Altogether we are as near to affairs as we would be on our own farms in the States. Winnipeg bears the same relation to us as Chicago did at home; and Edmonton with the surrounding region advances as Omaha did in the days when we were as young as the boys yonder. We get together much as they did in the granges over the border; the government has established experimental schools of agriculture, and progress in every line is stimulated. This is a great region for grazing," we hear the Calgary citizen continuing, "and then with building elevators of wheat at one dollar a bushel, many of us find time to go over to the live stock exhibition in Chicago or visit old friends during the course of the winter. Every man is taken for what he is worth or for what he can raise; and in this good air and on this fertile soil we intend to show our old friends that we are made of the right stuff—that we are chips of the old block who built up the American West." Gladstone's Thrift. Gladstone's liberality . . . was very great, and was curiously accompanied by his love of small economies—his determination to have the proper discount taken off the price of his second-hand books, his horror of a wasted half sheet of note paper, which almost equaled his detestation of a wasted minute—Recollections of Sir Algernon West.
