TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 43. STYLISH LINEN SUIT 1 This charming suit is developed in light blue Irish linen. The fancy coat is pointed at the front, somewhat after the manner of an Eton, and cut like a cutaway model at sides and back. The side-back seams give long graceful lines to the figure and the flowing cape-sleeve is in elbow length. Fancy white cotton braid trims all the edges, and the insertions and medallions are of renaissance lace. The skirt is a 13-gored model with an unusually full flare around the foot. Each seam is heavily stitched, and the three blas bands are trimmed with the braid at the lower edges. IN UNION THERE ESTABLISHED This charming suit is developed in is pointed at the front, somewhat after cutaway model at sides and back. T lines to the figure and the flowing cape cotton braid trims all the edges, and renaissance lace. The skirt is a 13-go around the foot. Each seam is heavily trimmed with the braid at the lower e. METHODS OF CLEANING STRAW. Renovation a Comparatively Easy Thing to Accomplish. A good straw lasts a long time if properly cared for, and when trimming are so very reasonable in price every woman can have stylish hats if she knows the cleaning trick. To clean a white Milan or a spilt straw, scrub with toothbrush or nail brush dipped in a weak solution of oxalic acid and water, then with clean water, not wetting more than necessary. Then scatter precipitate of sulphur and lay in the sun. Brush off with a clean brush when dry and your hat will be clean and white. A black Milan, hemp braid or horsehair, with nap side of velvet dipped in alcohol and rubbed thoroughly with the tips of the fingers. Black chip, give a coat of bottle shoe blacking. Colored hats, clean with gasoline and a piece of velvet. Faded hats can be tinted with a dye made of oil paints and gasoline. The only remedy for chip hats that are sunburned or faded is to give them a coat of polish or take them to a professional. White, colored and black lace on net hats can be cleaned by dipping the entire hat, without the trimming, in clean gasoline and drying outside. ONE OF THE LATE HATS. Period Hat for Silk or Cloth Costume —Fine Straw, with Band of Embroidery Around Crown. Tulle is chosen for the veil in nine cases out of ten, even where the bride can afford lace. It is very soft and becoming and drapes beautifully from the wreath of orange blossoms. When the veil is of tulle it should be as long as the train and it may be edged with lace. When lace is used for the entire veil a shorter length is permissible. THE GAZETTE KEEP GARMENTS IN CONDITION. Hint for the Woman Who Would Appear Well Groomed. The woman who always looks well dressed and well groomed, although her pin money is but half of yours, is the one who never lets her clothes wear out. When she discards any garment it shows no unisight rents and tears or any spots and stains; it simply is worn too thin for further use. She mends the instant a need appears. Mending is a lost art nowadays. There are few women who can mend intelligently. This perfectly groomed woman, however, keeps threaded needles in her pin cushion, where they will be ready for instant use. A rip or split in her glove is mended as soon as it appears and the braid of her skirt is mended before she catches her heel in it, endangering her life or at least her bones. The braid that is beginning to fray is ripped off and turned, or replaced with new. The little jagged tear, where she caught her skirt on a nail is mended with a piece of adhesive tissue such as is sold at the notion counters for just such mending. Woolen underwear is patched before there is a hole. The thin spots are detected and carefully covered with a patch before they wear through and when any undergarment is too far gone to make further patching feasible it is cut down for children's wear. With a stitch here and another one there one's clothes can be kept in perfect condition if all spots are removed as soon as they appear and creases are smoothed away by careful and thorough pressing. Flowers Much Worn. Flowers are more the rage than ever, whether real or artificial, and they are worn in bunches on the blouse or tucked in the buttonhole of the jacket. Of course, now that Dame Fashion has decreed that one may wear silken flowers as well as those created by Mother Nature, it is not particularly expensive to keep on hand a stock of orchids, gardenias, axaleas and polissettias, and these are the ones that are most popular. When natural flowers can be worn they are, of course, preferable, but the imitations are now so perfect that very little difference can be noticed unless the delicious fragrance is missed. 'this is sometimes supplied by a good perfume. Strange to say, this spring many women are wearing autumn leaves instead of flowers, which really does seem slightly out of season. Thin Press Trimming. Borders for skirts and parts of the blouse or corsage are made by working the material first one way and then another to form a lattice, with baby velvet ribbon, and then in each diamond formed a tiny velvet button is placed. This is particularly charming and pretty when done on an evening gown of some sheer material. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. SEN. FORAKER'S PROPER MOVE SEN. FORAKER'S PROPER MOVE FORCED TO AGREE TO A POST PONEMENT UNTIL FALL IN ORDER TO PASS HIS SOLDIERS' BILL It Was the Sensible and Only Thing to Do to Insure a Full and Complete Victory for "The Black Battalion"—Brownsville Again. Washington, D.C.—Senator Foraker on last week Wednesday very wisely consented to the postponement of a consideration of his bill for justice to "The Black Battalion" until December 16, because the republicans of the senate absolutely refused to pass it at this session of congress, and the Democrats were all opposed to it. Another and most excellent reason for his agreeing to a postponement was that the Republican senate leaders have promised the senator to pass the bill this fall without fail. This is far better than a losing fight now, and good sound sense and judgment, too, such as he has exhibited throughout his wonderful Brownsville battle, which he has won. The efforts of Democrats and Taft publications to confuse and mislead our people in this matter of postponement of the Foraker bill should not be given a moment's attention, so transparent is it. We ought to know M.D. Williams, and great friend in public life is, AND WE DO! The senator said recently to a reporter, when approached on the matter: "The reason for postponing action on the Brownville 'bill until next December is that at this time it was impossible to get a vote even if I could get the bill before the senate, while next December every Republican in the House would help me get the bill before the senate and to get a vote on it. The difference between insisting on action now and postponing action until then is, therefore, that at this time the probabilities were that I would not get anything, while at that time I shall at least be permitted to be cerned about in this matter is to get a full and real restoration of these men to all their rights." M. SENATOR JOSEPH B. FORAKER. Friends of Senator Foraker need have no fear as to the Brownsville affair. The senator is now, and has always been, sincerely concerned in the welfare of our soldiers and will succeed in getting justice for them. There are certain influences that must be had for any bill to meet with success in congress; at present the senator could not get them. Had the senator had his own welfare at stake, had he been playing politics, it would have been a glorious chance for him to the soldiers; he must the senator wants the soldiers to instigate a possible to have it done at this session. None of us should use the soldier affair for personal aims; we should do all in our power to aid them, and by clinging to the senator's cause we do that. Even had a vote been taken in the senate and the senator won, he could not have succeeded in getting it through the house, and had he succeeded in having it pass the house, the president would have vetoed it, and every one knows that the bill could not have been passed by a two-thirds majority over the president's veto; so then, if justice to the senator was not done, the ber, is not better than defeat now? Had he done as a great many of our men wished him to do, he would have met defeat, and the soldier incident would have been a closed book; but as it is the leaders of the Republic forces are honor bound to be a unit on this matter at the next session. The senator has made no agreement with the president or with Mr. Taft, nor their representatives, and every man who is the friend of the senator wants to stand fast and continue the fight against the two men right up to the last day of the Chicago convention. We want to be men and not grow weak-kneed at what might appear, to some, a sign of weakness. The move the senator made was a wise decision, and the senator succeeded in legislative affairs than he. During the recent debate on the Brownsville case, Senator Stewart asked a question indicating that he had doubt as to the wisdom of granting the president the power of passing on the innocence or guilt of ex-soldiers applying for re-enlistment, in view of the fact that it appeared that the president still believes all of the men guilty of complicity in the affray. He was surprised to receive from the president a few days ago a letter from the president to the Brownville cases. Attached to the communication were letters to Senators Rayner and William Alden Smith. The president reiterated to Senator Stewart of Vermont what he said to Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, that if the Foraker bill for restoring the Brownville soldiers was passed by congress HE WOULD VETO IT, and if it were passed over his veto he would refuse to carry out the bill. The president went further still in his letter to Senator Stewart. He declares that from the question he asked in the debate, Senator Stewart appears to be proceeding under a misapprehension of the duties of the president of the United States relative to the army and navy. He quoted the law as he understands it and denied that he is under any obligation to grant the discharged soldiers or Col. Stewart any court of inquiry. He voted to a discussion of Col. Stewart's case and his faults which have brought him into disrepute in army circles. The president adds that in every community there is maudlin sympathy with murderers and the Thaw case in New York is cited by him as an example, thus comparing our persecuted and innocent members of "The Black Battalion" to Thaw, the insane murderer, and Roosevelt's candidate and says he endorses all that Roosevelt says anent the Brownville case and "The Black Battalion." Senator Foraker has done all he or any other man can do for us until fall, and was right, wise and sensible, as usual, in agreeing to the postponement of his bill, rather than have "a flash in the pari fight in the senate now, to give him the power to make little political glory, lose the friends of his two years' fight for "The Black Battalion" and the race. WE CAN TRUST HIM, thank the Lord! AN INDORSEMENT OF FORAKER The Great Mass of Ohio Republicans, Like Those in the South, Are Not for Taft. The action of the Republicans of the Seventeenth district in selecting national delegates instructed to vote for Senator Foraker will undoubtedly create much comment throughout the country. In fact, anything that the Ohio Republicans do is largely commented upon. The significance of power generated outside of Ohio, and not infrequently significance is discovered in things that are not significant. The Taft indemnity by the state convention was hailed as a great victory. It appeared to outsiders that a great battle had been fought in Ohio, and that to Taft had come an immense triumph. In Ohio no remarkable contest had been observed. The opposition to the well drilled force of the liberal administration was extremely weak, except in lung power. And when Boss Cox assumed control of the convention there was not the slightest doubt as to the outcome. For a time the nation did not notice the sinister figure of Cox, and even when it became apparent that the "enthusiastic" Taft indemnity was to a large extent merely the O. K. of Cox there was an effort to forget the sinister fiction of a united Buckeye Republicanism shouting itself hoarse for the war secretary. As a matter of fact the Ohio Republicans are far from united. Senator Foraker has many political friends in every part of the state, and he has more supporters now than he had before the state convention. Self-respecting Republicans, disgusted at this boss dominated gathering, openly rebellious against the ticket nominated, have looked with kindler eyes upon the senator merely because this party is not a Democratic party, not perhaps that they love Foraker more but that they love Cox distinctly less. At the same time it must not be forgotten that the Republicans who have become sick in contemplation of their party's convention are not the "practical politicians", not the men who are "in politics" as a means of livelihood. These "practical" men always adhere to the winning side when they know which side is going to win; hence the organized Taft enthusiasm in Ohio. The Seventeenth district revolt is largely accidental, brought about by a combination of "practical" Foraker supporters and independent Republicans who see nothing good to contemplate in the Cox-Taft domination. The Seventeenth is a normally Democratic district, and the importance in the state affairs of the party. Nevertheless the Cox-Taft forces will not enjoy the action of the convention, and will not relish the undue importance that will be attached to this action by political observers outside of Ohio.—Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer, (editorial.) Can't "Jim Crow" Interstate Passen ers. Bartlesville, Okla.—J. D. Stratford and children, who were accused of violating the "Jim Crow" law recently by refusing to move to the separate coach, were dismissed on the 13th. They had bought tickets at Coffeyville and were going to Tulsa. They based their defense on the plea of being interstate passengers. The justice upheld their contention, declaring that the separate coach law could not apply to them. "Burns Wants the Earth." London, Eng. —"Tommy" Burns has agreed to fight Jack Johnson, Afro-American. He cabled his acceptance to "Jack" Curley at Chicago for a meeting in Nevada, Labor day, for a $55,000 purse. Burns wants $30,000 win, lose or draw. He specifies that Jeffries is to referee, Johnson's manager, Sam Fitzpatrick, says he has not yet heard directly from Curley and ought not to on such a preposterous proposition. WILLIAM T. FERGUSON On Negroes and Judge Taft.—Vigorously Stated Views of One Who Will Oppose Him. (Washington, D. C., Evening Star.) All colored men have the highest respect for The Evening Star, and its opinions are generally ours, but I beg to differ from you with regard to "The Negroes and Judge Taft" editorial of May 9. In that article your first question is, "Will the advice of the speaker support Judge Taft continue after Chicago?" I say, yes. Your next query is, "Will it affect a large number of voters when polling day arrives?" I say, yes. The welfare of our people demands that we resent the wrongs done us by the president and Judge Taft. And while we may make our political and civic bed harder than that, we must remember that the day will come when things will be better and politicians will recognize that they cannot outrage or insult us with impunity. If we allow the outrage done our soldiers to go unrebuke—if we allow the insult that we are a race of criminals, to go unresented—then I join with Negro batters and say that the Negro is not only a race of criminals, but unfit to live and the sooner such a people is exterminated the better. It is useless for white men to try to do our reasoning in this matter of voting. We will reason for ourselves and take the consequences. What difference is there between a man who advocates disfranchisement and one who condones it? Our efforts are to have the national convention nominate a Republican and the best one available. Mr. Foraker is my choice. He is a Republican. His mind is broad enough to take in all mankind. Every citizen of these United States and its possessions could breathe free with him. He is nominated the Democratic party will not get a single Negro vote. Of what other man in the Republican party can this be said? If Mr. Foraker is not nominated by the Chicago convention then the number of votes cast for Judge Taft will depend on circumstances. Mr. Foraker is a party man. All his energies will be exerted toward preserving the Republican party, and if he sees fit to fuse the Republican party with the office-holding party there will be a majority of colored men who will follow him. If he does not fuse or does not head a ticket then it will be up to the Democrat that how many colored votes they will get. Senator Teller could get four-fifths of them. Mr. Tom L. Johnson could get three-fifths of them. Gov. Johnson or Senator Culberson could do nearly as well. The nominee will get mine. You say that if Mr. Bryan were in the senate he would support the president in the Brownsville affair. How do you know it? Mr. Bryan has never expressed himself as has Mr. Tillman, and Mr. Tillman is not supporting the president. And if he did, wouldn't he have a better right to do so than Mr. Lodge, who is a Republican; than Mr. Morah, who is a Democrat; and Mr. Warner, who is a Republican? Mr. Bryan would be embarrassing the Republican party by taking the president's side in the Brownsville case, which, as a leader of the Democratic party, it would be good politics for him to do. Now, let us consider the matter of disfranchisement. Six states have already disfranchised the Negro by constitutional amendments, and two have amendments pending to effect disfranchisement in the states, with the single exception of South Carolina, has taken this action with the Republican party controlling the executive, judicial and legislative branches of the national government. The point of this is that it is no deterrent to disfranchisement for the Republican party to have control of the national government. The work of disfranchisement goes on whether the Republicans are in power on not. It is now being carried on right in the ranks of the Republicanism by what is known as "illy whites," and what is known as "illy blacks." Judge Taft. He has raised his finger or voice to ensure such unrepublican methods? Judge Taft has condoned disfranchisement in these words: "A policy in the south which excludes from the ballot the ignorant and irresponsible cannot be criticised. Conceding that the laws now in force in this state (North Carolina) and other parts of the south were intended, either by their terms or by their mode of execution, the judge voted for the ignorant voter from the franchise with rigor, and allow the ignorant white voter, though equally unfit for the franchise, to exercise it. I do not think that this makes a hopeless situation for the colored man or the political power that he may, in the future, exercise." Mr. Bryan has said worse than this. On the disfranchisement question Mr. Bryan and Judge Taft are as much alike as two peas in a pod. And if disfranchisement is to be the issue in the ticket should be Taft and Mr. Foraker and Taft with Mr. Foraker and Mr. Chandler opposing If Judge Taft were president the ballot box would not be open to a single Negro to whom it is now closed and if Mr. Bryan were president it would not be closed to a single Negro to whom it is now open. The assumption that Negro opposition to Judge Taft is based upon revenge is a false one. It is based upon a principle and that principle that Judge Taft's views on the disfranchising constitutions of the south are inconsistent with Republican doctrines and traditions. You ask, "What would, what could Mr. Bryan do for him (the Negro) in return for his support?" Judge Taft has answered that question. In his speech at Lexington, Ky., he said the southern white man is the Negro's best friend and the Negro's future depends upon sustaining good relations with his white neighbors. If this be true the south would undoubtedly be grateful to the Negro for helping it elect a president. As to reduction of representation, the Republican national platform of 1904 promised it, as did the Ohio platform, upon which you say Judge Taft is standing. No effort has been made to redeem the 1904 pledge. Political fish in 1908 will be wary of 1904 bait. In closing this letter I want to say that if the allies are possessed of the political acumen with which they are credited they will center their forces Forakerward.

TAFT STILL NEEDS 135 VOTES Facts Do Not Justify the Claim That He Will Be Nominated—He Has Pledged Only 353 Votes—Other Candidates Have 231—Uninstructed Number 228—Contested, 174. Washington, D. C. —With all the delegates reported, the number Instructed for Secretary Taft and uncontested falls at least 135 below that necessary to a nomination. While there are included among the uninstructed delegates some who may be affected by preferential resolutions, the large number of districts where efforts to pass resolutions in favor of Judge Taft have been defeated. Included in the number instructed for Judge Taft are many whose personal preferences are for other candidates. Nearly all of the delegates in whose behalf contests are being made by the managers of the Taft campaign were chosen by Hly whites, the regularity of which it will be impossible for the national committee to relegate one of the candidates contained no provision for the exclusion of any Republican on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Basis or Taft Claim. The claim of a majority for Secretary Taft in the Chicago convention is based on arbitrary interpretation of contests in behalf of Taft and the listing of many uninstructed delegates as instructed. The systematic circulation of statements to the effect that the candidates in opposition to Secretary Taft had withdrawn during the past few days is evidence that the managers of the Taft campaign feel the necessity of relying upon something beside the actual number of delegates pledged to the Taft candidacy. The facts do not justify the belief that Secretary Taft will be the nominee of the Chicago convention, and claims to the contrary are for the purpose of affecting those who are amenable to the band wagon" argument to the band wagon" and extent of the campaign wage in behalf of Secretary Taft's candidacy and the influences which have been exerted in its favor, it is of the utmost significance that the close of the campaign for delegates finds the Taft management far short of the number of delegates necessary to control the Chicago convention. PROF. MARCOU'S "OLD LADY" Was Young and Very Pretty Annie Manley, an Afro-American—Testi- fies He Paid Her $2,600 a Year Besides Presents. Boston, Mass.—A $25,000 breach of promise suit by Miss Annie Manley against Philip B. Marcou (white), formerly assistant professor in Harvard university, began last week Thursday in East Cambridge. She testified that she first met Prof. Marcou in Boston while she was on her way to a theater with a girl friend about six years ago. He stopped her, she claimed, and asked her to break her engagement. She did so and took him to her home in Holyoake street. Witnessed testified that Prof. Marcou said he would visit every week and finally give her $200 with which to purchase furniture for a new home. Later, she said, he gave her $2,200 to buy a lodging house. Miss Manley said six years ago Prof. Marcou promised to marry her and they were to be married in September, 1906. In August, 1906, she went to Saratoga, and while she was there she sent her money. When she returned in September she let him know of her return, but he did not call. Therefore she went to Cambridge one day and saw him. He stopped and spoke to her, asking why she was there. She replied by asking him why he did not call. He said: "She stated Prof. Marcou had given her an average of about $2,600 a year during their engagement of six years. He allowed her regularly $150 a month, but made extra presents. She testified he had given her six diamond rings valued at $50 to $250 each; also $200 to buy diamond earrings, a watch and chain—in all, about $2,000 worth of jewelry. Her counsel read a number of letters, said to have been written to her by Prof. Marcou while the latter was in Paris in the fall of 1905. In one appeared "Dear old lady," and at the close "Your Old Man, Phil. in another letter dated September 25, 1905, written in a Paris in the writer's colored girls here. Your friend, queen of Madagascar, is coming here next month to look for a husband. I guess I'll stick to my old lady." Later: Miss Manley lost the suit.

(Washington, D. C., Daily Post, May 8, 1908. Declarating that her husband had fled to Washington with a white girl, Mrs. Nettie Smith, 20 years old, of Basic City, Va., appealed to the local police to find the pair. They were found in a house at 123 F street southwest early early morning morning. Grave charges were lodged against them, and when they appeared before Judge Kimball, in the United States branch of the police court, yesterday morning, both were remanded to jail in default of bond. The man, Henry C. Smith, 19 years old, demanded a jury trial, while the old prisoner Sprouse (white), 19 years old, was lef from the court room crying. Member of Prominent Family. Mrs. Smith told the captain that her husband had become acquainted with the white girl while doing work around the garden of her home. Miss Sprouse, when brought into Capt. Mulhall's office and questioned by him, declared, "I have known Henry for a long time and it is only natural for a man to want him." "Yes," said the captain, "but did you not take into consideration that the man is a Negro?" "That makes no difference," the girl replied. "When a person loves, color, occupation, or nothing else is ever taken into consideration. While making the journey through Virginia I was separated from him, as they would him to ride in the same car with me." Miss Sprouse is Beautiful. The girl is beautiful, having a wealth of black hair, blue eyes, and a good complexion. He-is almost six feet tall and "good looking." was well dressed when arrested, and says Miss Sprouse persuaded him to accompany her back. The case against the two has been indefinitely ooftened, of course! THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. For President Senator J.B. Foraker General conferences have recently elected three new bishops for the A. M. E. Zion church and five for the great A. M. E. church. This is certainly "going some." Good luck to them, all! That is a mighty strong statement Mr. Ferguson makes in his article on page one today. Read it carefully and thoughtfully; then see that your white Republican friends and acquaintances do likewise. A United States district court judge, sitting in New York City, has decided that President "Brownsville" Roosevelt has a legal right to discharge soldiers "without honor." He certainly had no moral right to dismiss "The Black Battail." We are pleased to note the action of the Amalgamated association, mentioned elsewhere in this paper. It should have been taken some years ago. Better late, than never, however. Whether or not the action was "forced," is a matter of no concern now. Prof. Phillip B. Marcon of Boston (like thousands upon thousands of white "men" and many women in the south as well as the north), believes in social equality and practiced it with a vengeance, as our Boston, Mass, letter in this issue of The Gazette shows. There is too much, entirely too much of this kind of social equality. World's champion Joe Gans is really a wonder. We hope he will stop fighting before age and some younger man compels him to. Poor George Dixon. John L. Sullivan and others had to be stopped. "Joey" should sidestep such an experience while he can. But that "pitcher kept a going to the well until," etc. Will "Joey" keep on fighting until the knock-out blow he gave Unholz is given him? We hope not. The number of votes that will be cast on the first ballot for Senator Foraker at the national Republican convention, next month, is going to surprise many people, generally, who have been too bushy engaged beating Taft to tom toms or listening to their noise. And the great senator is going to be nominated, too. It is really amusing to read the Taft claims, these days. Roosevelt's "man" will never be nominated because he has not, nor will he ever be able to get enough votes. Senator Foraker, from the very beginning of his fight for "The Black Battailon," two years ago and more, to and including the recent United States senate postponement of his bill for their reinstatement, etc., has always pursued the wisest and best course. This is made clear in our Washington, D. C., letter elsewhere in this paper. Democratic papers and Taft publications worked overtime last week trying to create false impressions as to the cause of the postponement of Senator Foraker's bill. Do not be misled. All the claims about the danger of Secretary Taft's loss of the colored vote because of the Brownsville affair are made by friends of rival Republican candidates in the faint hope of thus preventing his nomination at Chicago. But let him be nominated and the colored brethren would be second only to the trusts in the enthusiasm of their support of the ticket. Philadelphia Daily Record. Don't you believe any such silly thing—at least as far as the Afro-American, particularly here in Ohio, is concerned. What is true of the "Buckeye" state Afro-Americans is true of the great mass of those throughout the country, particularly here in the north where their votes are cast and counted. Debs, the Socialist candidate for president, will get all those Afro-American votes that are not cast for Bryan in event of Roosevelt or Taft's nomination. And we say this, too, as a lifelong Republican, active for nearly 25 years. Thousands upon thousands of Afro-Americans will not vote at all, and the Republican nominee. (If it be Roosevelt or Taft) will go down to as certain defeat as did the Republican candidate for mayor of Cleveland (Congressman Theodore E. Burton) REASONS FOR THAT POSTPONEMENT. The reasons for Senator Foraker's most recent action in the Brownsville matter in reaching the conclusion not to insist on a vote at the present time are as follows: First. A number of Republican senators who are friendly and would naturally vote with the senator for his bill, are up for re-election, and by voting for the measure now they would bring down upon themselves the wrath of some of their constituents who are with President Roosevelt in this matter. Second. If the senate had made it the special order for Thursday, May 14, as moved by Senator Culberson (Democrat) of Texas, the bill would have been talked to death in the senate; and even if it could have passed the senate the Roosevelt-Taft administration influence would have defeated it in the house; so that it could not, in any event, have been enacted into a law at this session of congress. Third. The Democrats tried to force the issue, knowing that it would put the Republican party in this unfavorable position and also put Senator Foraker in a most embarrassing position, making him responsible for any bad results that might result in the coming election, as far as the Republican party is concerned. Fourth. Owing to the short time before adjournment, the Foraker bill could not possibly have been forced through the house. While the Democrats would have voted solidly to get the bill before the senate, they would have joined the Roosevelt-Taft Republicans and voted just as solidly to defeat it there and in the house. Taking these things into consideration, and (having practically the assurance of enough Republican senators to pass the bill this fall) that if a vote on the measure was postponed until December they (the Republican senators) would be in better position to vote for it than at present, and Senator Foraker, having only the interests of the soldiers at heart, and the soldiers at the same time losing nothing by the postponement, he (the senator) after careful consideration, concluded to take the action that he did, and he was right, too. The few Taft subsidized Negroes who have written the senator letters anent the postponement of his bill, that they ought now, to feel heartily ashamed of, to say the very least, deserve not only his contempt but that of the entire race. It is simply astonishing, what infernal fools some people, black and white, can be at times. last fall, and for the same reasons, largely, and in much the same way. Roosevelt's candidate, Secretary Taft, lacks nearly one hundred and fifty votes of enough to nominate him on the first ballot. That settles the matter for him, and Roosevelt, too. As we have insisted all along, Taft will not be nominated at the national Republican convention to be held in Chicago next month. His only chance (to be nominated on the first ballot) has gone glimmering. Thank the Lord! New Zion Church General Officers. New Zion Church General Officers.

District Court Upholds the Presid-ident New York City.—The legal right of President Rosewood summarily to dismiss a soldier of the Twenty-fifth infantry for alleged participation in the riot at Brownsville, Tex., was sustained last week Friday by Judge Hough in the U. S. district court. Oscar W. Reid, the soldier, sued the government to recover $192 as wages from the date of his dismissal to the expiration of his enlistment. Judge Hough, in his decision, held that the president acted entirely within his legal rights in dismissing the soldiers, inasmuch as the enlistment papers and oath provide that a soldier shall serve "for the period of three years unless sooner discharged by proper authority." The president is proper authority, the decision declares. The case will be appealed to the U. S. supreme court, it is said. New Bishops Elected. Norfolk, Va.—The newly elected bishops of the A. M.

The Brownsville "Affray" Illustrated COLLAPSED SOLDIERS MIDNIGHT ASSASSINS THE SQUARE DEAL DOOP OF HOPE TAFT DRAGS SOLDIERS BY NECK TO ROOSEVELT WHO KICKS THEM IN! OHIO AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE Declaration of Principies. "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or enrolment. "As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and exact justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. "As loyal and faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achieved when defeat seemed imminent, without any resultant advantages to ourselves. "We are as loyal and as true today as ever, but have grown tired of being considered as pawns in the great game of party politics and are determined to call a halt. "The presidential embroglio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and aligning our forces for a triumphant campaign against the combined armies of hatred, prejudice and indifference toward us within the party ranks. "President Roosevelt has not been uniformly just and square in his dealings with the Afro-American and cannot be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the south wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favorite uncles had fought under the stars and bars during the rebellion. If he was proud of the fact that they fought to keep our forbears in servile bondage, he is not a glorious emblem of our country, the sturdy stripes, he is not in a position to recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Albion W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thousands of others who suffered in our behalf, and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that any of his relatives had fought to dissolve the Union and against human freedom. "We are for Senator Foraker, for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, rejection to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But whatever his personal ambition may be we believe in the immanent act of every American citizen to "stand pat" whenever any individual, class or organization of men seek to secure his elimination from public life, whether it be the president of the United States or his hero worshippers. "Having the most profound regard and veneration for the late Hon. Alphonso Taft—father of the present secretary of war—who, as attorney general in the cabinet of General Grant, was a true friend to our oppressed brethren in the south, we regret that duty to our race and country compuls us to state that on William H. Taft, distinguished as he is, cannot and will not obtain the support of the Afro-American voters for the high office of president of the United states so long as he is alive by the personal mandate of Theodore Roosevelt. While we are aware of the fact that conditions may bring about his nomination, we also believe that conditions and votes will bring about his defeat if nominated. We have reached that point where we would prefer to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party. "We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding chamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but Instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent. The Resolutions. Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft secretary of war, is being announced as a probable candidate for the republican nomination next year for the presidency of the United States, and is being widely heralded, especially here in Ohio, as the one most eligible for that exalted honor and position, and Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, in his speeches at Greenboro, N. C., and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1906, viewed without protest the deplorable discrimination against our people, the undisguised violation of the constitution, in the matter of disfranchisement of colored citizens, at least condoning the same, and Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, after the dismlssal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military machinery of the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, as law-binding American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. W. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1804, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the damselfish book of the five tyrants of fortuitous soldiers, many of them grown gray in the service of their country, in Indian wars and the Spanish-American war, shows weakness and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conservatism and justice which should characterize an aspirant for the greatest honor of our party and nation. Furthermore, Be it resolved, that we call upon our brethren throughout this great state, particularly, and the country to join in our protest and warning to all republicans who support the Hon. W. H. Taft for anything at this time, that they are thus forging the good will and support for the future of all loyal members of our race. Hon. Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, chairman of the state executive committee and head of the Afro-American league. Other members of the committee: Rev. J. M. Gilmere, Cleveland; D. C. Fisher, Lorain; A. J. Riggs, Springfield; Dr. W. G. Wren, Columbus; Rev. C. D. White, Wilmington; Rev. W. O. Harper, Dayton; Dr. S. J. Jordan, Chillicothe, and Hon. C. L. Maxwell, Xenia. All Foraker and other republican clubs and political organizations among our people in the state should affiliate with the Ohio Afro-American league. Read its "declaration of principles" and resolutions elsewhere in this paper and if they meet your approval, write to the editor of The Gazette, chairman of the executive committee and head of the league, and he will enroll your organization with those on the list.

OUR BISHOPS TAKE A FIRM STAND AGAINST PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND SECRETARY TAFT. And Speak Right Out in a Resolution That Makes 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 concurred in by the bishops of Zion A. M. E. and the C. 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 Battalion' by President Roosevelt when he discharged its 167 brave men without honor or trial of any kind and merely on a suspicion of their guilt in the Brownville affray, and against the hardly less wrong done these same men by the pliant and cowardly indorsement given by Mr. Secretary Taft to the huge injustice of the pres- "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 Lilly White movement and the countenance and support given that movement by the present administration, 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 conference assembled in the city of Washington, do hereby raise our voice in stern and ominous warning to the coming Republican national convention not to put in nomination for the presidency either President Rosevelt or Secretary Taft on pain of having arrayed against either of those gentlemen at the polls next November the almost solid colored vote of the north." AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY. The old reliable Gazette destres an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following cities: Dayton, Zanesville, East Liverpool, Akron, Chillicothe, Springfield, Sandusky, Hamilton, Wellsville, Toledo, O., and other places where we have none. Write to the Editor of The Gazette, Blackstone building, Cleveland, O., and terms will be sent promptly. Our and terms will be sent promptly. 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 choice. A second choice we leave to the judgment of the time servers and cowards and hypocrites who are about to destroy the Republican party.—Richmond (Va.) Reformer Senator Foraker has done an incalculable service to the colored people of this country, and they owe him a debt of gratitude that will take them a long time to pay. Whatever he has at their hands should be gladiate and 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 imminent three hundred and five that stood by Gen. Grant, they should stand by to the end, no matter who is nominated—Baltimore (Md.) AfoAmerican.

The Cleveland Giants of the Ohio Afro-American league won two games from the Springfield Elks at League park last week Friday afternoon, 9 to 1 and 4 to 3, when the season of the league was opened. Both teams hit the ball hard at times, but errors in the scoring of most runs. Shoalie had the good ball for the local boys in the first half, but the could have earned a shutout but for his wild heave past first, on which the only Springfield run scored. Sloane was best with men on bases, and a dozen Springfield lads died. In the second game Garrison, brought here from Pittsburgh, had the visitors on his staff. The two Springfield runs resulted from errors. Garrison fanned 11 batters. Parks of Cleveland was the batting star of the double-header, the opener he swatted out three triples. In the second game he singled the first in making the sixth safe drive in succession. He failed to hit in the remaining three times at bat in the windup. Gilkerson played good ball at second. Mayo, the Springfield first baseman, was benched in the first inning of the second game for making remarks to Umpire Abram. The team played of rowdism and both teams played to win.

Champion Joe Gans Whips the Boer Champion Joe Gans Whips the Boer. San Francisco, Cal.-Rudolph Unholz, the Boer, was mowed down with repeated labs on the chin in the eleventh round by World's Champion Joe Gans, lightweight champion, here last Thursday night. The Boer was able to play Thursday night. But he was blinded and on Gans'臂 was freee declared the Baltimore Afro-American winner without requiring a knockout blow. It was Gans' fight from start to finish. Unholz's ability to stand terrible punishment and his peculiar defense, puzzled the champion at times. In the fourth round Gans floored Unholz with a left up arm, and the Boer jumped quickly to his feet and took the wild man. When Unholz was floored the second time in the seventh, one of his seconds jumped through the ropes to stop the fight. The fight went on, however, as Unholz showed his disapproval by making a swing at his second. Gans turned loose some vicious short arm jolts on the Boer in the eleventh round that stopped the Boer in the chin put Unholz to the floor and the Gans was unable to see his opponent. Gans refrained from further punishment and humanely stepped aside. Referee Welch waved Gans to his corner as winner.

All England is suffering from a shortage in the butter market, with consequent prices higher than known before for many years. The principal cause, according to British authority, is that the Russo-Japanese conflict had the effect of cutting off a large portion of the butter supply. England is still getting less and less butter from Siberia—where the product is grassy, well made and of good texture — because the war first taught the Siberian producers to send their butter east instead of west. While the campaign lasted they got into the habit of sending supplies to the Russian army, and when peace was declared they discovered that Japan, Korea and Manchuria were better markets than England and Germany. Now special refrigerated trains are sent eastward instead of westward. A traveler by the night train from Peterborough to Grimsby complained that while doing an animal of some sort had run over his face. The rail officials did not take serious notices of the complaint until the next night, when another passenger made a similar complaint. Then it was discovered that the train was infested with rats and it has been taken off so that it may be cleared of the pests. —London Standard.

Pa., suffered for six years with stinging pain in the back, violent headaches and dizzy spells, and was assured by a specialist that his kidnives were all right, though the secretions showed a reddish, brick-dust years with stinging pain in the back, violent headaches and dizzy spells, and was assured by a specialist that his kidneys were all right, though the secretions showed a reddish, bristle-dust sediment. Not satisfied, Mr. Enders started using Donn's Kidney Pills. "The kidneys began to act more regularly." he says, "and in a short time I passed a few gravel stones. I felt better right away and since then have had no kidney trouble." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. "And you call yourself honest? Huh!"

SEVERE HEMORRHOIDS Sores, and Itching Eczema—Doctor Thought an Operation Necessary —Cuticura's Efficacy Proven. "I am now 80 years old, and three years ago I was taken with an attack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding. The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. I tried several remedies for months but did not get much help. During this time sores appeared which changed to a terrible itching eczema. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository Syringe. It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months and, after that, once or twice a week. The treatments I tried took a lot of money, and it is fortunate that I used Cuticura. J. H. Henderson, Hopkinton, N. Y., Apr. 26, 1907." Too Strong. "The traveler in Ireland will do well," recently remarked an attache to our embassy at London, "when he engages a jaunting car to make sure of the step to which, in mounting, he must trust his weight. The carman does not help him to mount. "I am afraid that step is loose,' an American once said to the driver he had engaged. "The man took hold of the step and shook it. 'Ah! sure,' said he, 'it's too strong, it is. What are ye afraid of?' "As he was talking, the thing came off in his hand. "This mishap did not, however, embarrass the Irishman, for, with the sunniest of smiles, he turned to his fare saying: "Shure, now, I've saved yer honor from a broken leg!"—Harper's Weekly. "Dear William," wrote the old man to the youth at college, "I'm shore glad to hear that you air sich a 'drawin' card' that, but I knew it long 'fore you to me'. Howsome, thats' drawin' an 'drawin', but that's one kind which I must draw the line on here an 'now, an' that is the sort that draws on me fer $50 when I'm least expectin'. You put Greek an 'Latin in yer letters, sometimes, fer good measure, I suppose, but I notice that when you draw on me it allus in plain United States. I want you to go through all right, but I don't want you to bill me through. Gimme a livin' chance to rest up. I'm tired!" Griefs That Die Unspoken. Read what the singing women—one to ten thousand of the suffering women—tell us, and think of the griefs that die unspoken! Nature is it earnest when she makes a woman; and there are women enough lying in the next church yard with very commonplace blue slate stones at their head and feet, for whom it was just as true that "all sounds of life as assumed one tone of love," as for Letitia Landon, of whom Elizabeth Browning said it; but she could give words to her grief, and they could not.—Holmes. FIT THE GROCER Wife Macie the Suggestion. A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. A Cleveland grocer has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. He says, regarding his own experience: "Two years ago I had been drinking coffee, and must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves. "Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast, and did not feel like attending to my store duties. "One day my wife suggested that inasmuch as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in it and suggested that we try it. I took home a package and she prepared it according to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disappeared, and today I am all right. I would advise everyone afflicted in any way with nervousness or stomach troubles, to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

Humorist Points Out What He Considerers Some Wrong Conceptions. Mark Twain said that the financial panic has caused a wrong idea of the use and value of money. "The spendthrift says that money, being round, was made to roll. The miser says that, being flat, it was made to stack up. Both are wrong. "Strangely wrong, too, in their ideas about money are the veteran Australian gold diggers. These simple old fellows, though worth perhaps a half million or more, live in the simple dugouts and shanties of their lean early days. "Once, lecturing, I landed at an Australian port. There was no porter in sight to carry my luggage. Seeing a rough-looking old fellow leaning against a post with his hands in his pockets, I beckoned to him and said: "See here, if you carry these bags up to the hotel I'll give you half a crown." "The man scowled at me. He took three or four gold sovereigns from his pocket, threw them into the sea, scowled at me again, and walked away without a word." Youthful Logic. Mrs. L., a young and inexperienced Sunday school teacher, was at times surely perplexed how to answer the questions put to her by some of her unusually bright pupils. One day just after she had finished telling the children the story that Adam was the first man God created quiet reigned in the classroom for several minutes. Suddenly up jumped little Rose, and in a piping voice said: "Oh, teacher, you forgot to tell us whether God created Adam right away a man or a baby!" Embarrassed, Mrs. L. looked up to the ceiling and then to the children for an inspiration. Happily she quickly spied Betty's little hand raised above the others eager to answer the question. "Teacher, I am surprised my sister Rosie should ask such a foolish question. Why, God must have created Adam right away a big man, because if God had created him a baby he would have had to have a mother to take care of him." If an Advertisement Convince You, Stay Convinced When you read in this newspaper the advertisement of a manufacturer who has paid for the space used to convince you that it is to your interest to buy his goods, and you go to a dealer where such articles are usually handled for sale, do not let the dealer or any one of his clerks sell you something else which he claims is "just as good." If an advertisement convinced you, it was because of the element of truth which it contained. INSIST ON GETTING WHAT YOU ASK FOR. His Elusive Memory.

Office Boy (making a strenuous effort to recall it)—Well, sir, it's either Grim, or Hawk, or Hen, or Brad, or Fan, or Ker, or Rick, but to save my bloom'in life, Mr. Townsend, I can't remember which.
