TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 51. STYLISH JACKET SUIT CITY Though extremely simple in cut and outline, this attractive little jacket suit developed in white Irish linen will fill all needs for the midsummer calling costume or church gown, or in fact any occasion where a suit is not out of place. The jacket is a semi-fitted model, with side-front and side-back seams running from the shoulders downward, and giving the long graceful lines to the shoulders. The jacket is also made of collars one with wide oddly-shaped medallions of Battenberg let in at each side of the front and back, and at the lower part of the sleeves; the latter finished with an edging of similar lace. A cotton passenderie ornament crosses the front and holds the jacket in position. The skirt is a five-gored model which is equally appropriate to wear as a separate garment, as well as part of an entire costume, it fits smoothly over the hips, without plats; tucks or fulness of any description, and falls in a full fare around the waist. The jacket is made of stripes of the material the wide insertion of the Battenberg lace being set between these bands. Both the insertion and bands may be omitted if desired. For 36 bust the jacket requires four and three-quarters yards of material 20 inches wide, two and a quarter yards 36 inches wide, two and an eighth yards 42 inches wide, or one and five-eighths yard 54 inches wide. For 26 waist the skirt requires nine yards of material 20 inches wide, four and a quarter yards 36 inches wide, two and a third-eighths yards 54 inches wide; one yard 20 inches wide, half yard 36 or 42 inches wide, or three-eighths yard 54 inches wide extra for bias bands, and three and a half yards of insertion to trim. THE UNION THE STRENGTH Though extremely simple in cut and suit developed in white Irish linen wiling costume or church gown, or in fact place. The jacket is a semi-fitted mod running from the shoulders downward the figure, which are such a feature of collarless one with wide oddly-shaped side of the front and back, and at the latter finished with an edging of similar crosses the front and holds the gored model which is equally appropriate as well as part of an entire costume, plats, tucks or fullness of any descrip foot. Two narrow bands set on as a made of strips of the material the widest between these bands. Both the l desired. For 36 bust the jacket requires for 20 inches wide, two and a quarter yard yards 42 inches wide, or one and five-e. For 26 waist the skirt requires four and three-quarters yards 36 inches three- and three-eighths yards 54 inches yard 36 or 42 inches wide, or three-eighths bands, and three and a half yards of it. TO WEAR UNDER SHEATH SKIRT. Silk Knickerbockers Appropriate with the New Costume. The shops have already brought out all kinds of silk knickerbockers for the new sheath skirt. Some are lined with albatross, some are of taffeta, unlined; others are of old brocades lined with china silk. They are perfectly fitted at hips and waist line and are held around the knee with an elastic band. They haven't much material in them, or they would make a bad line under the tight skirt. While the majority never use them for this purpose, they promise to be quite popular for all manner of outdoor wear under short cloth skirts. For camp and country, for ocean and mountain, those of china silk worn under a short tweed skirt are immenently supervised to a petitcoat. They give freedom, do not get in the way and are quite cool and light. Natural colored pongee is an excellent substitute for china silk for knickerbockers to be worn in this way, and some women are having them made of pongee colored linen which go to the tub, to come home fresh and starched, to take the place of petitcoats. When these are worn for outings it is not necessary to wear any other pieces of underwear except the undershrift under the corset, and the corset cover under the shirtwaist. LIGHT AND DAINTY. This hat is extremely dainty, being made of lace, dotted light blue ribbon and pink roses. THE GAZETTE Also Considerably Lessens Wear and Tear on the Nerves. It is a big boon to be born orderly. It means such a saving in wear and tear on one's nerves. There are some people who have the desire for neatness, but lack in its execution. They can put to rights, but not keep it up. It is easier to be born sloven than one with a wish for orderliness allied to the habit of misplacing. That place for everything rule is a good one—if you don't forget the place. The woman who can find her belongings even in the dark is the one to ti to—provided she doesn't achieve her neatness by nagging and everlasting priminess. That some girls' bureau drawers have a cyclone-struck look may not argue a lack of orderliness so much as an overpressure of affairs. It is not easy when every minute counts to put things back in the exact spot where they should go. As the bump of order is the greatest time saver known, it is well, however, for the busy girl to make strenuous efforts to accomplish it. It may take an extra minute to put things where they belong, but time is often reckoned by hours when it comes to hunting them where they don't belong. Orderliness is a good business asset; the girl who can put her fingers on notebook at an instant's notice, who is not on a perpetual hunt for penell eraser and other daily necessities, who Las learned to classify her papers for easy finding, rarely makes a failure her career. Face Touching Up At present the fashionable woman uses cosmetics with freedom, though with great discretion and great cleverness. Never does she appear by sunlight at out-of-door functions with anything approaching the suggestion of "paint." Yet equally would it be impossible for her to appear at the opera or in the glare of a big ballroom without a pencilling of brows and lips, a modeling of cheeks and nostrils and earlcess and a whitening of arms, that bring her physical points in line and coloring into harmony with the vastness of her environment and the brilliancy of the lighting. Recently it has been the fashion in Europe to preserve a pallid face, but of late, with the return of the Greek figure, of apparently unfettered limbs and unbound waist, of virginal braids and snoods and ingenuine coifures, the fancy has been to allow the roses to bloom in the cheeks. —Vogue. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. W.J.BRYAN'S TALK TO OUR PEOPLE!! W.J.BRYAN'S TALK TO OUR PEOPLE!! HIS FAVORABLE REPLIES AS TO BROWNSVILLE, CIVIC RIGHTS AND OFFICES. BISHOP WALTERS HEADS BOLT! Is Arranging for a Big Convention Next Month at Atlantic City—The Committee of Clergymen and Educators—A New Alliance. New York City.—Bishop Alexander Walters of the A. M. E. Zion church, received on July 3 the report of a committee of our leading clergymen and educators who called on William J. Bryan at Albany previous to assist certain his views and attitude toward the race. So satisfactory were his replies considered that an organized bolt from the Republican party, and open affiliation with the Democracy are being arranged. Bishop Walters is arranging for a convention of leading Afro-Americans from various states to meet some time during a visit to Atlantic City to formulate definite plans for political action. The formal report, after describing the call upon Mr. Bryan and the preliminary talk, says: Bryan's Answer. Mr. Bryan said: "As to the appointment of Negroes, they had received by way of appointment from the Republicans very little. His policy would be to give the Negro such recognition as he was fairly entitled to. Personally he believed competent and qualified Negroes should be appointed and given access to work with the Negroes of the country, and where they support the Democratic ticket, should be taken into account. "Mr. Bryan said that he regarded the discharge of the Negro soldiers without honor as an outrage; that, if the men were guilty they should be punished in the regular way by court martial or trial by civil courts, as every citizen, black or white, ought to have a fair trial before he is punished in any way; that the power exercised by the president in this case was like that of a czar, and the president was given to doing rash and inconsiderate acts. "The committee said the Negro race had further complaint to make, and that was that the president had declared that if the Foraker bill pending in congress to reinstate the battalion was passed he would veto it, and if passed over his veto he would refuse to enforce it. We asked if Mr. Bryan would give us assurance Bishop Alexander Walters. as to what his attitude would be in the event of his being elected president and such a bill was passed, and further, if the president had the authority to reinstate this black battalion, would he be disposed to act in the matter. / Bryan Would Enforce Law "Mr. Bryan replied that any man elected president would have to take the oath of office to uphold the constitution and enforce the laws, and if he was elected president and such a law was passed he would not hesitate to enforce it. That if he did not enforce it, it would be his duty to, and he would, resign. That it was idle to President Roosevelt to say he would not enforce it, and that he was passed by congress. If he did not enforce it he would be unworthy to be president. "As to reinstating the Negro soldiers, Mr. Bryan could not say, for he did not know what his power would be. But if the men were not proven guilty, then the president should do till he was out of office, that had been put upon them. He had always thought that to discharge the whole battalion, when at least only a few could have had anything to do with the shooting up of the town, was outrageous, and to be explained only as an impulsive act upon the part of the president. "We went fully into the relation and the democratic party toward the Negro, and we would be best calculated to get the Negro vote for the Democratic ticket. "Mr. Bryan agreed with us that he would let the southern question alone, and turn off any question that may be asked having reference to the race question, and he would in his speeches refer in a well meaning way to the duty of the president to enforce the laws passed by congress, so Negroes could show what it meant to enforce the law to reinstate our soldiers. Always Friendly to Race. "He thought the campaign method of the Republican party an insult to the Negro and pointed out how friendly he had always been to our race. "We asked that, if he was elected president, would be. If called upon to appoint a justice of the supreme court of the United States, appoint one who was prejudiced against the Negro enjoying the full rights of a white American citizen. "Mr. Bryan said that in appointing a supreme court justice he would certainly consider what forces had contributed to his election, and try to get a man who was near and would have an interest of those forces that contributed to his election. The revolt of Afro-Americans from the Republican party had its inception at Chicago immediately after the Republican convention. Bishop Walters, who is head of the New York diocese of his church, is taking active part in the movement. He said: "In New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois, a group of black shifting of the colored vote means the defeat of Mr. Taft, for in each of those states the Negro holds the balance of power. Meet to Plan Campaign. "The forthcoming meeting at Atlantic City is not to determine whether we will support the Democratic nominee. That has been decided already by the action of the race leaders in Chicago immediately after the Republican convention in sending a delegation to confer with Mr. Bryan and by the report just released by the Democratic Party, we shall plan a campaign. The Negro vote already is divided, and I am sure that a surprising number will go with the Democratic party." Bishop Walters has received letters pledging support from many prominent men of his race, including Bishop J. S. Calvell of Philadelphia, Dr. F. E. Baldwin of Boston, Dr. L. G. J. Gordon of Louisville, W. H. Coffey of Philadelphia, secretary of the Church Extension society, and G. C. Clement of Sallisbury, N. C. editor of the Star of Zion. Five race organizations have announced their dissatisfaction with the Republican party and will form the nucleus of the bolt: They are: National Negro League, with Dr. M. Walldron of Washington, D. C. is president; National Afro-American Council, New England Suffrage league, Douglass Independent league and the Niagara movement, of which Dr. Du Bois is general secretary. The Republican Party Has Deserted Us. Counsellor James H. Hayes of Richmond, Va., a caller on Bishop Walters, said: "It has been left for President Roosevelt to serve the Negro better than he reckoned. Brownsville is simply a final cause, but behind it is a real desire on the part of the Negro vote to divide because the Republican is properly. The Negro now prefers to be Republican camp and to try the new Democratic leadership, which invites him to come and see what will be done for him in that party. When Henry Watterson calls upon the Democratic party to put a plank in its platform opening the door to the colored brother, many of us stand ready to take Marseille by the hand and we have been taught by Booker T. Washington that the southern white man is 'our best friend, and that we should lay down our buckets where we are.' Samuel R. Scottron, formerly a member of the New York board of education, said: "A majority of the Negroes have in the past been too accustomed to being kicked in the Republican party and then kissing the other, kicked them. We with all allow ourselves to be misled, as in the past, and still remain on election day faithful Republican voters. The name 'Democracy' does not stampede us any more. It fails to throw the scare of former years. The Negro voter is growing more independent, and recognizes that his best interests lie in dividing between the two parties. This movement is not merely an expression of the experience the Brownsville affair. It typesifies the growing political independence of the Negro race." Booker Washington's Advice. In addressing the committee on resolutions of the National Democratic convention, in session at Denver, Col., recently, W. W. T. Roosevelt, president of the committee that visited Mr. Bryan, said, among other significant things, the following: "The division in our ranks is permanent, if you wish to have it so. Since Mr. Taft and Mr. Booker Washington have said that the great bulk of our people are in need of and that that best interests are there for us we ought to have and make friends with our white neighbors—since Mr. Roosevelt has tried and is trying to destroy secessionism by appointing Democrats to office, there is no sane reason why we, the Negro voters, should not support them with our south emerald friends and help elect them and their friends to office." DOINGS OF THE RACE. Lafcadio Hearn, the writer, was of "mixed" blood. This has been established beyond all question. Henry E. Baker, for many years a clerk in the patent office, Washington, D. C., has been promoted to a $2,500 a year assistant examinership. Our soldiers (Ninth and Tenth cavalries, and Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantries) won the bulk of the prizes in the United States army athletic contests held recently in the Philadelphia. It is stated that an agreement has been entered into between Mita Vaux Warrick and the management of the Jamestown exposition, acting in conjunction with the government, by which the 15 striking historical tableaux, designed by that accomplished sculptor, are to be placed permanently on exhibition in the Smithsonian Institution, as soon as a suitable location can be decided upon. In a recent edition of The Voice of The People (of which Rt. Rev. H. M. Turner is the author) the highly criticized "The Debt of Wilberforce University." The editorial calls attention to the exceedingly gloomy but equally important fact that at the meeting, a few weeks ago, of the board of trustees of Wilberforce, it was found that the university is $40,000 in debt, and that "she is running deeper in debt every year." The race is further warned in this editorial that is less serious one to give up a turn to affairs, the American Negro will lose Wilberforce university.

Taft's "Fatal Defect"—"Unfortunately He Stands for Rooseveltism," Says the Senator. Cincinnati, O.-Praise for the personality of William H. Tatt, Republican nominee for president, and criticism for him in that he favors the Boosevelt policies, formed part of a speech delivered July 1 by Senator Foraker at the chamber of commerce in this city, the occasion being observance of "Sunshine day," founded by an association "organized for the purpose of bringing about better times by striving to forget that there have been any other kind." When Mr. Foraker referred to Mr. Tatt, he said to him in character as all that could be desired, he was interrupted by applause. When he ceased, he continued: "But, unfortunately, there is one fatal weakness in the candidate, in that he favors a continuation of the so-called Boosevelt policies, of which we have already had far too much." Applause. The Springfield, Mass., Republican comments on the speech of Senator Foraker as follows: "Senator Foraker's reference to Mr. Taft, in his speech before the Cincinnati chamber of commerce, had the fatal defect, from the party point of view, of emphasizing what the speaker considers the candidate's "Fatal defect." A candidate should have no defect of course, that is fatal; if he has, he is of course. The senator made matters worse by plaining what Mr. Taft's "fatal defect" consists in. He is pledged to continue the "so-called Roosevelt policies," of which the country has had enough, in the senator's own opinion. It is clear that Mr. Foraker has not yet attuned himself to the keynote of this campaign and there will be some anxiety over the tenor of his address at the Republican rally at Youngstown, O." The memory of Maria Mitchell, Nantucket's famous daughter, who attained worldwide fame as an astronomer, was honored recently by the dedication of an astronomical observatory and library building at Nantucket, Mass.

I shall leave soon to see friends in the interest of Wilberforce. As I write to a local institution, I shall endeavor to raise $100,000. In fact, I shall not give up the struggle till it is done and Wilberforce is put on a better financial basis. I am going to raise the tone of the institution not only intellectually, but morally as well. They have put me at the head of it and I shall do my whole duty in an effort to make Wilberforce something of which we all may feel proud. Will write you again. Please accept my best thanks you give to a local. With my good wishes, I am sure, always, yours in sincerely, W. H. S. SCARBOROUGH. To Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette. P. S.—I leave for New York in a few days. W. H. S. HEIRESS OF WHITE FATHER. Dying Request Reveals a Romance— Mother of Margaret Pryer McClure, the Child Pittsburg, Pa.—The strange infatuation of a well-to-do white man for one of the colored servants in his father's kitchen, and the undying love he bore for an acknowledged child, was brought forth June 30 when it became known that little Margaret McClure, a mulatto child living in poverty, was the helress of E. A. McClure, who died recently in Canada, leaving an estate worth several thousand dollars. For the past three weeks she was searching for the McClure child, never dreaming that they were to uncover a most sensational affair. Word had come from the wilds of Canada that McClure, before dying from the results of an accident in the hospital at Gray's Siding, Ont., had made his attendants swear that they would see that his little daughter Margaret, then somewhere in Pittsburg, be found and all that he was leaving behind in Canada, was not until June 30, became positively known that she was little margaret, now living with Mrs. A. A. Franklin, a white woman at Coropalina. The child is said positively to have been the offspring of McClure and a colored girl named Mary Pryor, who has disappeared in the past few years, having been unable to care for the child. An old warrant, which was sworn out by his Pryor against McClure as he did in 1910, was evidence but nothing was heard of McClure which left Pittsburg nine years ago, until the word came from Canada some time ago that he was dead. McClure ten years ago was one of the most promising young men of upper Ohio valley, living with his parents at Glenfield. Mary Pryor, the comely young girl, daughter of the janitor of the Sewickley Presbyterian church, was a servant in the family, a time when the friends of the dead man that he would have married her had his parents not threatened to disown him. Steps are being taken now to have a guardian appointed for the little mulatto of 9 years, who will be rich. Who defamed our brave, black soliders? Who, with base and artful craft. Tarnished the records of our Boys in Blue? Gagged the Negro's mouth To appease the selfish south— Who did it? Roosevelt and Taft! Discovered unjust laws against our race? Who was it made us feel We would now have our "square deal"— Who was it? Roosevelt and Taft! What! still trust the "grand old party" Trust again its shifty raft— Trust Roosevelt, who stigmatized our race? And filled us with his "dope" Through his famous "door of hope"— No, sr!

Subscribers are requested to remit by post- office money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. 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. President Scarborough's letter, published in The Gazette today, has the right ring, and is very encouraging indeed. He certainly has our very best wishes. William Jennings Bryan's talk to our people, which will be found on our first page today, should at least be given a careful, thoughtful hearing. That is all even he could ask for it thus early in the campaign. We cannot but express surprise at the cordiality and even friendliness of its tone. We did not expect it. The resolution of the New Orleans, La., school board severely censuring that city's superintendent of schools for entering the New Orleans spelling team in the recent inter-city "bee," held in this city during the week of the N. E. A., because Afro-Americans participated in the contest, is characteristically silly of the prejudiced white south. It is just as we anticipated—Senator Foraker cannot accept Taft's endorsement of the Roosevelt policies. The president's policy in the Brownville matter is only one of the objectional things, from the senator's viewpoint. This is one national campaign that will compel the loyal Afro-American to think several times, and seriously, too, before he votes in November. We are pleased to note the clean understanding our people of Kentucky have of President Frost's part in the Berea, Ky., college separation trouble. It has thus far proved a great misfortune and hardship—the separation—to Afro-Americans, particularly those in Kentucky, and the future is not promising. Read the editorial from the Louisville, Ky., Standard, republished elsewhere in this issue. THAT LOST CHAMPIONSHIP. We have received a long letter from Assistant Superintendent Warren E. Hicks of the Cleveland public schools, in reply to the several articles in our last issue issue the treatment of the little Afro-Americans, Marie Chew Bolden and Wilburetta Hans bary, which upholds the 'the decisions made on the platform (in the Hippo drome at the recent inter-city N. E. A spelling bee) in the presence of everybody" resulting in the announcement of Marie Bolden as the champion speller, and which also upholds the revision that came later and resulted in taking the championship away from her, giving the best record on the victorious Cleveland team to little Misses Ethel Cook and Maude Lesmer (whites), crediting Marie with one error and the two girls mentioned with none and giving them the only perfect scores on the team. The following from the Cleveland Daily Press of July 6, '08, is pertinent: White Girls Champions. "The revised score shows Cleve- land winner with 33 errors: Total Errors. Marie, Chew Bolden 1 Ethel Cook 0 Maude Lesmer 0 Leo Goldrech 3 Leah Bratburd 5 Charles Austin 3 Melvin Ruck 2 Sylvia Sicha 1 Ida Fountain 3 Irene Langlois 1 Rose Meyer 2 Etta Epstein 2 Hilda Moskowitz 1 Frieda Markowitz 5 Collete Lifot 4 Total errors 33 The situation is this: Marie Bolden has been permitted to retain the championship BADGE presented to her in the Hippodrome but the championship has been taken from her by the revision, the "contention" for which, Mr. Hicks writes us, "was based on the good name of the sixty children who spelled." As to Wilburetta Hansbary's alleged mistreatment, as a matter of justice to Mr. Hicks, we desire to say that investigation seems to bear out his statement to the effect that little Miss Rose Meyer was appointed first alternate on June 6—before little Miss Hansbary defeated the Cleveland team in the test of June 13—and that the daily papers' statement of June 14 that she (Wilburetta) would be the "first" alternate was unauthorized at least by him. He also writes that had a second vacancy on the team occurred, Wilburetta "would have been selected to take the place." It was generally understood, prior to the "bee," that the Hippodrome judgment was to be final. Therefore there never should have been any revision. Some one or more in charge of the affair have blundered, and most unfortunately, too. The Pittsburg "contention" was not near so serious a matter as Mr. Hicks seems to feel and, in our judgment at least, did not in any way involve "the good name of the sixty children who spelled." It did, however, strike little Marie Bolden a cruel blow that is felt throughout the length and breadth of this land and wherever a member of the race she is identified with, dwells. NOT GOING TO THE DOGS Notwithstanding the fact that the New York Age and the Indianapolis Freeman and a number of other Afro-American papers are red hot for Secretary Taft and all he stands for, and notwithstanding these papers have little else but abuse for those papers and individuals who are not supporting the big secretary and the administration which is behind him, the fact remains that there is a number of Negroes in this country who have the manliness and the courage to stand for their rights in the administration and the Republican party that they are men and propose to take their stand like other men for what they believe to be right, all the powers combined being against them. There are plenty of Negroes in this country who do not believe that the country is going to the demission bow-wows, or that there is going to be any amount of adverse legislation in the halls of congress just because Bryan or any other Democrat should be elected. Weeping and walling was heard from every point of the compass when Grover Cleveland was elected president; some even went so far as to say that the Negroes would be legislated back into slavery nothing of the kind happened, and at no time did the Negro enjoy more immunity from insults than he did throughout the two terms of Mr. Cleveland's administration. No, gentlemen, you had as well save your thunder. Thousands of Negroes, who never voted anything else but the Republican ticket at a national election, will, in all probability, vote some other way this time. Something may turn up that may stem the tide to a considerable extent, but at the same time it would be well to keep in mind that the Afro-American is beginning to lose its capital letters, and it behoves the others-that-be to take that matter into account in the future—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American Ledger. THE NEW BEREA. President William Godell Frost asked for a place on the program of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools to discuss the "New Berea" (Kentucky college). In asking for the favor, it was to be expected that some one should put before the people the Negro's side of the controversy in a manly way and with as little offense as possible. The Negro's needs no defense for so doing. Frost, and Frost alone, is responsible for the state of affairs which now exists at Berea. Until he came, every citizen in Kentucky was proud of Berea college and gloried in the fact that here in the southland such amicable relations existed between the races who elected to attend Berea college, for be it understood there was no compulsion in the attendance. If association with the Negroes 'vas repugnant to the white student, no one ever found it out until Frost put in his appearance. It is all tommy rot and smacks of subservience for any Negro, least of that school, to defend a former student of the present management of Berea (Ky). college. If there is to be a New Berea, what is the matter with its being established solely for the white students who object to going to a co-educational school? The Negroes have no objection to Old Berea, so let the whites have the New Berea and enjoy themselves. In the meantime, the supreme court has yet to pass its decision on the question before it as to whether a state has a right to pass a law impairing the obligation of contract, and it is wrong to pass the contract. A right thing by the Negro at least once in 20 years. Let the slogan be, "Old Berea for the Negroes!"—Louisville (Ky.) Standard. Leland Giants Again Won. The Leland Giants again won, and easily, too, from the Cleveland Giants on Tuesday afternoon at League park, Score, 5 to 0. The Cleveland team has a few "posers" who ought to be gotten rid of quickly. The all around playing of the local third baseman was very poor indeed. That of several others was but little better. The attendance both days was ridiculously small because the games (as usual) were not properly advertised. DeMarcus Ware, the distribution of doggers mainly in saloons and like public places, and occasionally hiring a band, do not suffice. Our people of this community, the greatest number, are only reached through the columns of this paper, The Gazette. "Rube" Foster, the Leland Giants' best pitcher, is a "wonder," sure enough, and ought to be in the American or National league. He would be, too, but for a silly, American prejudice. The Chicago players, all exceptionally quick, active and accurate; especially, good throwers and runners. Their batting, catching and all around work is very good indeed, doubtless because they do nothing else during the baseball season. Follis of the local team is a good, "heady" catcher; his throwing to bases was above the average. Gans, the Cleveland pitcher, had very little more than a straight ball, medium fast, and a "prayer." The only wonder was that he made only 11 hits. Possibly this is counted for in the pretty general impression that they were not exerting themselves. Foster certainly did not. He only allowed our boys four hits, two of these being infield raps. Olean, N. Y., Items. Rev.

DU BOIS ON TAFT The Professor Says "It Is High Noon" for us in National Politics—What Taft Approves—A Terrific Indictment! Gentlemen, it has truck twelve. It is high noon for the Negro voter of the United States of America. By the time my readers see this, William H. Taft will in all probability be the Republican nominee for president. What are the principles for which he stands. He approves of the disfranchisement laws of the south "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 to exclude the ignorant colored voter from the franchise with rigor, and to allow the ignorant white voter, though actually unfitted for the franchise to exercise it." (Greensboro, N. C., speech July 10, 1906) He does not want Negro universities (founder of) furnish the higher mental education to a people not fitted to enjoy it or make it useful." (Tuskegee April 4, 1906.) He praises Abraham Lincoln for opposing Negro suffrage. (Grand Rapids, Feb. 13, 1808.) He declares that the fifteenth amendment has been unsuccessful; that the disfranchisement of the Negro is better than "violent methods" and that the "greatest friend" the Negro "is likely to have" is the southern white man who "knows his value to the south" (Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 10, 1908). These are not the final words of M. McKinley, the final qualifications of those words. But they do convey the spirit of his remarks, namely, that industrial education, dischancissement and surrender to the demands of the white south is the proper program for the Negro today. In addition to this, remember Brownville! PROFESSOR DU BOIS. Of course there is the other side: Recently at Fisk university Mr. Taft candidate for president, slightly revised his attitude toward Negro higher education, and letter after letter has come to me darkly hinting at the success of Mr. Taft's Brownsville attitude at the proper time. But when all is said and done, the flat fact remains that William Taft represents that class of Americans who believe that: Negroes are less than men; Few of them ought to vote; Their education should be restricted: Their opportunities should be limited; Their faith must be left to the south; Their "value" is their money value to their neighbors; On occasion they may be treated like dogs, (vide Brownville.) This is the platform in plump, plain English. What is the difference between this and the Democratic platform? There is no difference. It is high noon, brethren—the clock has struck twelve. What are we going to do? I have made up my mind. You can do as you please; you are free, sane and twenty-one. If between two parties who stand on identically the same platform you can prefer the party who perpetrated Brownville, well and good! But I shall vote for Bryan. "They are slaves who will not choose. Hatred, soiling and abuse. Hatred, in silence shrink. From the truth they needs must think." — Prof W. E, B. Du Bois in The Horizon, Alexandria, Va. Misuse of Patronage We condemn, as a violation of the spirit of our institutions, the action of the present chief executive in using the patronage of his high office to secure the nomination of one of his cabinet officers. A forced success of this action is less repugnant to public sentiment than is life tenure in that office. No good intention on the part of the executive and no virtue in the one selected can justify the establishment of a dynasty. The right of the executive to patronage is unilenable and cannot be delegated—National Democratic Platform. WAS IT "ON THE LEVEL?" A Well Known Sporting Writer Comments Upon the Recent Gans-Nelson Fight. The wise sports of the east are still wondering how it all happened. They would like to know how to account for the defeat of their idol, Joey Gans, in 17 rounds at the hands of Battling Nelson on the afternoon of July 4. Figured from the official dope, it surely does look like a startling reversal of form since the two men met at Goldfield, Nev, when they lost on a foul in the forty-four round. Can it be possible that Joe Gans could have gone back to such an extent in so short a time? It is only a few months since Gans knocked out Rudy Unholz, the fighting Boer, who got a decision over Spike Robinson, the clever English lightweight, in a few punches. In fact, Gans had been the only player of his career in the past year, or so. The conditions suited Gans better this time than in his previous match with the Dane. The weight stipulations allowed him nearly two pounds over the former occasion, and consequently he should have been stronger. Now, on the other hand, Nelson has made a beautifully poised position since his loss of that Nevada fight to Gans. He was beaten by Abe Attel and Unhole, and badly worsted by Jimmy Britt since then. In the face of all this, and in conjunction with the fact that Gans was a ten to four favorite in the betting, does it not look a trifle suspicious? When he records a self-confessed faker, how can we be blamed for being skeptical over Battling Nelson's al leged victory on the afternoon of the Fourth. And now this talk of another battle between them on Labor day. What in thunder do they mean by this sort of a game? Will the sporting public of the west stand for another fight between these two one right after the other? Yes, they probably will. It is a matter bickish to the American patrons of the fisticuff games are victims. Nelson and Gans split up a big pot of money for that affair of the Fourth, and now they are just avaricious enough to go after another big haul. The move is a hold one, and by its very boldness may succeed.—Walter C. Kelly in The Cleveland Daily Leader. A GREAT TRIO OF CHAMPIONS! New York City—Joe Gans' recent defeat marked the passing of the last Afro-American ring champion of the day. The man from Baltimore was the last of the mightiest trio the race has ever given to the ring. This great trio was made up of Joe Walcott, well-trained and the winger; Joe Gans, lightweight champion; Joe Walcott, bantam and featherweight champion. Each held the title for a number of years. Walcott won the wetterweight championship from Jim (Rube) Ferns in five rounds, at Fort Erie, N. Y., Dewey, and Bentley, and at Honey Mellody, he beat him in 12 rounds at Chelsea, November 29, 1996. George Dixon won the bantam-weight title from Eugene Hornbacher in four rounds at New York, December 27, 1883, and held it until Terry McGovern beat him at New York in eight rounds. January 9, 1900. Joe Gans won the lightweight title from Fort Erie, N. Y., May 12, 1902, and "lost" it to Battleg Nelson at Colma, Cal. in 17 rounds Saturday week. There are other great Afro-American fighters left in the ring: Jack Johnson, heavyweight; Sam Langford, middleweight, and Jack Blackborn, welterweight, all fighters of class. Any one or all three may become champions. Peter Jackson was the greatest of heavyweight champions in his day, and would have been champion of the world had not wise and foxy John L. Sullivan "side-stepped" a match with him. AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

COLLORED SOLDIERS MIDNIGHT ASSASSINES THE SQUARE DEAL DOOR OF HOPE Courtesy of the Montgomery Colored Alabamian TAFT DRAGS SOLDIERS BY NECK TO ROOSEVELT WHO KICKS THEM IN! THE AFRO-AMERICAN VOTE IS THAT AND NOTHING ELSE THE TAFT CANDIDACY! The Difference Between the Two Parties—Taft Preached Disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" Cars— "The Black Battalion." Special to The Gazette. Washington, D. C.—There is much political speculation about the national capital now-a-days as well as all over the country. Can Judge Wm. H. Taft be elected president in November? Does he indorse "illy whitestim" in the south? Would he veto the Foraker租房 favor the passage of the Gallinger bill which repeals the Democratic law of 1894 and re-enacts all of the federal election laws in existence prior to 1894? Does he favor the enforcement of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States? Has he changed his mind since his Greens' speech in which he justified the distranchement of the colored voters by the Democrats of the south? and many other similar questions are being asked by colored Republicans here and elsewhere. As proof read the Charlotte (N. C.) Star of Zion of June 25 and the Richmond of June 27, recent issues of The Boston Guardian and many other race publications. The fires of a smoldering volcano are being kindled by those who say that they will not stand for the "steam roller process" of grinding out national delegates, sustaining "illy whitestim", thus crushing the right of the county to participate in the councils of its own party. The following from The Washington Evening Star speaks for itself: Negroes and Mr. Bryan. a shadow without a substance, a mere child's fancy, but a stern reality. During the Cleveland administration the Negro was treated as well and a great delter better than he has been during that great, noble, lamented president knew that, to a man, the Negroes voted the Republican ticket. He did not preach the "square deal," but he acted it. He belongs in the class with Washington, Lincoln, Grant, McKinley and Foraker. Mr. Bryan, if elected, the Negro any worse than he is now treated, and may treat him better. A. J. WILLIAMS. There is trouble ahead! What are we to do? Booker T. Washington meet Secretary Taft at the Manhattan hotel in New York by appointment recently, and told him that all of the Negroes would vote for him. Now nearly 2,000,000 colored Republican voters are angry, and say that they must arrest the man and Washington's pocket. The colored who hold federal offices will greatly prejudice Mr. Taft's chances because the masses take it for granted that whatever they say for him is simply to try to hold on to their jobs, not that they really think he ought to be arrested and that of campaigning was all right thirty years ago, not "go" now, and the more it is attempted the worse it makes matters, because we are in a newer age when colored people are thinking. The situation is not too promising and there is surely a hard fight ahead. TAFT AND OUR ISSUES. Gen. Luke E. Wright of Tennessee, whom President Roosevelt has appointed secretary of war, is an ex-con-federate soldier, a Democrat and a Negro-hater, Taft, as secretary of war, out-Roosevelted Roosevelt in his effort to help justify the president's outrageous discharge of "The Black Battalion," and to prevent Senator Foraker from securing the passage of his senate resolution which secured the investigation that has cleared them of that criminal Brownsville charge. In the appointment of Secretary of War Wright, President Roosevelt has gained the assistance (of an ex-rebel and Negro-hater) that will be very helpful this winter when Senator Foraker is striving to secure the passage of his bill (in both the senate and house) to reinstall "The Black Battalion" in the army and restore to them as far as is possible what was lost by their shameful "discharge without honor." There is in this Wright appointment, enough to make Afro-American voters stop and think deeply, when the black or white Roosevelt henchmen, political scavengers, the federal-office-holding "bread and butter brigade," boodlers or grafters beseech you to support Taft, the man who has also endorsed or condoned disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars. Until the Republican nominee for president publicly repudiates his stand on the two vital issues (to us) just mentioned, and also repudiates his public endorsement of Roosevelt's policy in the Brownsville matter, how can any loyal Negro or American voter support his candidacy? It is not necessary for us to vote for Bryan if we do not support Taft. We are not compelled to vote for either, or vote at all, if we do not wish to. However, if we wish to cast our ballots for some candidate for president, we can vote for Eugene V. Debs or some of the other party candidates for president, Bryan and Taft excepted, of course. For more than ten years we have read Debs' speeches, and time and again noted with much satisfaction the outspoken, manly and friendly references to our people they have contained. He is RIGHT on the so-called race question, and has the courage of his convictions. THAT IS ENOUGH! That he is the candidate of the Socialist party is of no consequence, as far as we are concerned, just at this time. That he is RIGHT on the questions of vital interest to us is all that is necessary this year at least. Therefore we feel it our duty at this time to call upon our loyal members of the race to suspend final judgment in the matter of voting this fall, a short time, in order to give a committee of our best leaders an opportunity to submit to Judge Taft the three questions as to his attitude upon our three burning issues in event of his election to the presidency, and thus give him a last opportunity to repudiate his present position upon them, or to refuse to do so. This much we feel is due not only the race, the Republican party and Mr. Taft, but particularly a large hesitating element among our people who will only need such sane action upon our part to enable them to reach the proper conclusion and quickly, too. Prompt action should be taken by those of our leaders who led in the racial effort against the nomination of Mr. Taft and who since the Chicago convention, have not been flirting with Mr. Bryan and Democracy. Only such, will the great mass of our voters who are most decidedly anti-Taft, as matters now stand, have confidence in. Who will join us in this sense, sensible and loyal move? It must be done. IT SHALL BE DONE! The best interests of all concerned demand it. NEGRO SOLDIERS—THEIR RIGHTS "It became my painful duty, sir, to follow in the track of that charging column, and there, in a space not wider than the clerk's desk and 300 yards long, lay the dead bodies of 543 of my colored comrades, fallen in defense of their country, who had offered up their lives in defense of its sacrifice; and as I rode along willing sacrifice, and as I rode along willing sacrifice, guiding my horse this way and that way leet he should profane with his hoof what seemed to me the sacred dead, and as I looked on their bronzen faces upturned in the shining sun to heaven, as if in mute appeal against the wrongs of the country for which they had given their lives, and whose flag of stripes, on which no star of glory ever shown for them—feeling that I had wronged them in the past, and believing what was the future of my country to them—among my dead comrades there I swore to myself a solemn oath, 'may my right hand forget its cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth. If I ever fall in love with a man, men who have given their blood for me, and my country this day and for their race forever,' and God helping me, I will keep that oath.

Croomers told the detectives that he had purchased a knife, both of which tried to find the man for the detectives, but after walking from house to house for two hours the officers decided to lock up Croomers himself, and he was registered at the East One Hundred and Fifth street station. Jewelry and clothing, worth about $400, came from the Kraus home during the family's absence from the city week before last. Mauri Taylor Getting Better --- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY.
