TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 1. THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WORLD. The illustration to the left shows a very smart costume that would look well made up in a dull elephant gray cloth. The skirt is high-waisted, and has a train, it is trimmed with gray satin ribbon to simulate an over-skirt. The coat is fastened with a single button under a rosette of the ribbon has on the bust, it then slopes off to the back; the collar and cuffs are of pale gray cloth, trimmed with ribbon. The sleeve is plain, but has an epaulette on the top. Touque of gray crinoline, trimmed with a shaded feather. The other neat little costume is made up in royal blue Venetian cloth. The skirt consists of thirteen gores, the seams of which are wrapped. The coat is a semi-fitting sack, reaching just below the hips, a piece of silk is let in between the side and front seam; tabs of the material are placed over it, in the point of each tab a silk-covered button is sewn, the waistcoat reaches down just to the waist, and is fastened by silk-covered buttons; the collar also is of silk. The plain coat sleeve set into a silk cuff at the wrist. Straw hat, trimmed with roses, and foliage. HAVE THE MONOGRAM FAD. VOILES IN PRETTY DESIGNS. IN UNION THERE IS STRAINED WALKING The illustration to the left shows well made up in a dull elephant gray coat. The skirt is high-waisted, and has ribbon to simulate an over-skirt. The coat is fastened with a single just on the bust, it then slopes off to the gray cloth, trimmed with ribbon. The top. Toque of gray crinoline, trimmed at the other neat little costume is. The skirt consists of thirteen goes, the coat is a semi-fitting sack, re-silk is let in between the side and front over it, in the point of each tab a silk reaches down just to the waist, and is collar also is of silk. The plain coat slaw hat, trimmed with roses, and HAVE THE MONOGRAM FAD. Initials on Everything Is the Rule Now with the Girls. Girls have gone monogram mad might be thought by the way initials are in evidence! The background may be silk, satin or wash material; it may be leather or metal; in some way or another the owner's monogram is introduced, and by no means inconspicuously either. On purses the letters are governed entirely by the size of the portmonnaie, but as a rule the initials are detached rather than being run together. Traveling bags for girls who will move about this summer are not considered equipped until the owner's initials are put on. For this the letters are as plain as those in the alphabet of a child, and each is separate. They are placed quite near the top, at the middle of the side. Occasionally they are be seen on the end, but this is regarded as a freak. Brass letters are preferred to those of nickel. The newest key rings that girls may have for themselves or use as gifts end in a single initial letter. The plain cushions for hammocks or lounging chairs are enfilbished in huge initials, sometimes of brass. In the latter case they are thin, though wide, and when on a tan leather background are certainly decorative. Wash blouses show the monogram done, preferably in small letters, on the left side of the front; hosiery has a single letter on the instep. Trimmed Skirt Favorites Now that it is the fashion to trim the bottom of the skirt with one deep fold every woman seems to be adopting it, whether it is becoming or not. Decidedly it is not when the wearer is short or unduly stout, as it cuts the height, the wearer's height apparently ending where the fold begins. If, however, she will slash the deep fold in several places, and round off every corner, she will be able to wear this up-to-date style most successfully. Only a small detail, but a most important one. CHARMING COIFFURE. Composed of a long spray of silver apple blossoms twined in end out of the hair. THE GAZETTE Popular Summer Material Is of All Shades and Colorings. The new silk voles are in countless pretty designs. Over a foundation of black, green, blue, light and dark, are large and small squares, marked off in thin white lines. On the edge, to be used as trimming, are four or five satin bands of different widths, in the plain color. A silk volle in squares of black and white has on its border four bands of black velvet edged with orange, peacock blue or cherry. The most exclusive houses are using this material, each one usually confining itself to one color. Quite unusual is the volle of nattier blue, lined off with white. Woven in the border is a cashmere band, the colors harmonizing beautifully with the shade of blue. A red volle, stamped with white lozenges, with a cashmere band-framed in lines of white, is wholly charming made up with a tunic skirt and low, sleeveless bodice over a white guipme.—From a Paris Letter. Well Groomed Hands A well groomed hand is a rarity, even though many people are careful about the nails. The hands show age much quicker than the face, for few people spend as much time on the hands as they do on the face, and then the hands are in water more than the face, with the result that they are drier and more apt to wrinkle. Soft and white hands are best acquired by night treatment. Use a toilet cream that agrees with the skin, and rub it in thoroughly before retiring, being especially careful to rub and massage the knuckles well. Then slip on a loose pair of gloves to keep the cream on the hands. Red hands are caused by poor circulation and often by tight cuffs or bracelets. Small gloves often make the hands red and leave marks on them from the seams in the gloves. The only way to effect a cure is to remove the cause. New Color Combinations. New Color Combinations. Orange and gray is one of the newest combinations. A superb gown of gray moussurelle de sole is made over an underdress of orange satin—satin as sort as the moussurelle. The skirt is closely gathered and plaited back and front, falling loosely from the belt posed unusually high. The plaits are, however, fastened extremely close, freed only below the knees. A wide band of silver embroidery, done in gray flet in relief, breaks the line of the skirt; from back and front the band of embroidery meets on the sides and mounts to the belt line. The corsage is composed of the embroidery. Coat of Black Silk Muslim A stunning long coat is made of black silk muslin, braided all over with white. Wide white silk braid outlined the edges, forms odd strappings and finishes the elbow sleeves with quaint bows. The back is very short waisted and is finished with big gold buttons. Stockings with Tan Shoes Nowadays if one wants to be ultra smart one must have dark blue stockings with one's tan shoes. This fashion was first adopted by the men, but women have embraced it enthusiastically and now every smart girl number among her belongings several pairs of such hosiery.

I am seriously debating the advisability of taking the stump in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and other doubtful states as a life-long Republican, looking forward to the future welfare of the Republican party, to advise the Republican voters, especially the Negro race and the members of organized labor, to vote the Democratic ticket, for the preservation of our state and the maintenance of the Republican party.

"HEAR YE THE TRUTH!" As to the Present Political Situation from a Race: Viewpoint. (Public, Chicago, June 26, 1908.) One of the clearly thought out suggestions regarding the treatment of the Negro race by the Republican party managers was that of J. G. H. Woods at a meeting of the Negroes during convention week. As reported in the tribune of the 19th Mr. Woods said: "There is just one way for the Negro to get his rights, and that is to use the balance of power that God has given him in these northern states regardless of parties. If we put the Republican party out of business, we must have immediate good. BUT YOU CAN BET THAT FOUR YEARS FROM NOW THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL BE AROUND WANTING TO DO BUSINESS WITH US. And what is more, if we show the Democrats that we can put them into power, we can make them pass the laws against us will be mighty tender of our feelings in order to keep in power." How To Lose At Both Ends HOW TO LOSE AT BOTH ELLS. If the egro of the north had adopted the south, there would have been little more than a remnant of the race question at the south today. How can Negroes expect any special consideration from the Democratic party, when they vote against the party in a mass, every time, everywhere, and under all circumstances? And why should the second political corporation from the Republican party so long as every time, everywhere, and under all circumstances, they vote for the Republican party. A New Zealand Mayor! Augusta, Ga.-Robert Bradwell Williams, a Negro, was born here about the time of the war of the Rebellion, was graduated from Yale university, then became a wandering minstrel, and was finally elected by white where he became a British subject, and was admitted to the University and was formally elected by white British subjects as the mayor of Onslow, the town of his residence. He reached Augusta after traveling 12,000 miles, for no other purpose than to see once more his aged mother, who lives in an humble teement on Third street. Williams goes to London where he was admitted to the tree from New Zealand, he will have an audience with King Edward VII, by special appointment, to discuss political questions in the British dependency.

Debs' Stand on the "Race Question"—What He Advises—As to Bryan and Others. Chicago, Ill., July 28, 1908. Editor The Gazette, Dear Sir: I do not know whether you remember me or not, and on risk of being misunderstood, or to request you to send me a number of our teemed paper. I read in the Springfield (Mass.) Republican that you advise Negroes who are not satisfied with either Taft or Bryan to vote for Debs "as he is correct on the race question!" Please send me the number containing his expression on the race issue! I am a white man, an old Republican, an honest believer in the Republican form of government, and therefore in favor of suffrage for your race as well as mine under equal laws. But from this very conviction I can no longer for thetery which is evidently intent upon eliminating the Negro from politics. And then I believe in punishing Roosevelt and Taft for their unjust action in the Brownsville affair. However, I cannot vote for Bryan and his reactionary party, still under the thumb of Bourbonsm and rebeldm. I can .understand those who vote for Bryan to punish Taft. But very little only is gained by such tactics! We might aid the Socialists, if they are closest in the matter. That is what I would like to find out from The Gazette. Respectfully, A.

Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1891 1866 to 1892 1890 to 1892 TRADE OFFICE COUNCIL REVOLVING Cleveland, Saturday, Aug. 1, 1908. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. So Messrs. Taft, Hitchcock and Vorys "are greatly worried about Senator Foraker." The Ohio Afro-American voter will worry them a great deal more before the November election, the way things political are going in Ohio. The "cold, unvarnished fact" is Ed E. Cooper was a disgrace to Negro journalism; and any one who says differently either did not know the fellow or ____. We hope the Negroes of Ohio will not do anything for which they will be sorry in the future—Mobile (Ala. Press). Don't worry: They won't support Taft and thus help Rosewell eliminate Senator Foraker. Of this you and all others may rest assured. That is an exceptionally strong communication on our first page today, written by the Hon. T. M. Bloedt (white) of Georgia. He has, for years, been one of the most active Republican leaders in the south. Read carefully, thoughtfully what he has to say, because it merits it. The same is true of Bishop Walters' and Rev. R. C. Ransom's statements. The governor of Louisiana had to call out state troops last week to "protect" Americans from the wrath of some of that state's much-abused Italian laborers whom it imported to supplant its Negro labor. They are slowly but surely finding out that no class of laborers on the face of the earth but its black labor, will submit to their miserable treatment, and it is good that it is so. The Italians were using dynamite, killing and crippling Louisiana "Americans." God surely works in mysterious ways often. The white south has many lessons to learn along class lines and the sooner the teaching becomes more general in that section, the better for the Afro-American in every part of this land, particularly in the south. The Hon. Joseph E. Lee, U. S. collector at Jacksonville, Fla., a member of the Taft notification committee, was compelled to take his meals in his room at the Sinton hotel, Cincinnati, on the 28th ult., and also made to feel that it was a great condescension on the part of the management to permit him to stay in the hotel at all, because of his race and color. And Joe Lee was so lacking (to say the very least) in some things we supposed he, of all southern Afro-Americans, possessed as to quietly submit to the miserable insult to him and the race, and remain in the place, in which Candidate Taft's sister-in-law, Mrs Charles P. Taft, the wife of the southern Ohio man who wants to succeed Senator Foraker in the U. S. Senate, is the principal stockholder. Is there any limit to the insult and injury the Roosevelt-Taft management of the Republican party continues "to shower upon Afro-Americans? O, LORDI! HOW LONG! O, HOW LONG! It is said that the situation in Ohio is worrying Candidate Taft to no little degree. It is now a question as to whether he can be elected and Senator Foraker defeated or whether he will have to bow to the inevitable and agree to the election of the senator or war for it, lies it should be the duty of every Negro in Ohio, whether he is a Taft man or not, to stand by Senator Foraker, and send out the proclamation far and wide that Senator Foraker must be re-elected or Candidate Taft defeated. There should be no middle ground. Negro has too much standing to stand and has so firmly stood by them—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. Our people in this state understand the situation so well, from this and other viewpoints, that the outlook for Taff's carrying Ohio is far from being encouraging. And Mr. "Disfranchisement-Jim Crow Car" Taft has every reason to worry because it will not require more than a good, big healthy defection among any class of Republicans to cause the loss of the state this fall. Much more than this exists among Ohio, and all other northern states' Afro-American voters, Congressman Burton, who for nearly two years has been working for Senator Foraker's seat, one of Taff's closest friends and leading lieutenants in Ohio, has repeatedly announced this desire and purpose, and recently, too. Therefore the situation is easy to understand, and the duty of every loyal Afro-American clear. He cannot vote for Taft until that gentleman reverses his stand in favor of disfranchisement, "Jim Crow" cars, Roosevelt's policy in the Brownsville matter and announces himself and friends favorable to the re-election of Senator Foraker. WHO IS REV. E. E. MAKIELL? Speaking of the "Rev. E. E. M. Mairell, D. D. D. M. D. of Columbus, Ga." who made a political stump speech as a prelude to a sermon in Eaker Street A. M. E. church on a Sunday evening early in July, the pastor, Rev. J. G. Robinson, whom the Louisville (Ky.) Standard seems to know quite well, giving him more or less undesirable notorily, said on July 13 in the Dayton (O.) Herald: "Dr. Makell is one of our most learned men, and ranks high in my denation. He is a Scotchman by birch, was born and educated in Scotland, and came to this country many years ago and entered the A. M. ministry by leaps and bounds climbed to the top among our foremost ministers." Who is this gentleman—"Dr. Mackell?" We confess that during our active career in race journalism, of more than a quarter of century, we have never heard of him before. And yet, according to Mr. Robinson, "he is one of our most learned men," ranks high in the A. M. E. church "denomination and by leaps and bounds has climbed to the top among our foremost ministers." Will the editor of the Christian Recorder, an organ of the great A. M. E. church, or Rev. Dr. J. M. Glimere, the presiding elder of the Ohio district in which Eaker Street church is located, enlighten us? We want to know, particularly, as to the correctness of Mr. Robinson's statement anent this "most learned" Scotch-American Negro, quoted above. We have never before heard of such a person, and certainly not as being one of the A. M. E. church's "foremost ministers." "JIM CROW" PLAN ADOPTED. Alliance, O., July 24.—John Dee Collins, from Kentucky, owner of the local opera house being erected, announces that Negroes will not be permitted to occupy the same sections as white patrons—Cleveland Daily News. With apparent satisfaction the Cleveland Daily News published the above last week Friday. We did not see a similar item in any other of the local daily papers, and confess to no surprise in seeing such a publication in that paper. The southern members of its报orial staff, and others possibly, seem to delight in giving publicity to everything of this kind they can rake up. How much truth there is in the statement we cannot say; but one thing sure, our people in liaison and throughout Ohio have the law on their side and, if it is as the News states, can teach John Dee Collins a much-needed lesson—one that it was hardly possible for him to learn in "old Kahnutty; sah." Our Ohio civil rights law is still in the statutes of the state, and, according to Ohio's supreme court, is "good law." Let it be used oftener and there will be less of these insulting publications, less "color lines," less mistreatment in public places of entertainment of one kind and another, particularly of our women and children, and an infinitely more wholesome condition along a citizen rights' line. Manly Alliance AroAmericans, and those elsewhere in Ohio wherever there is need of it, should "get busy" and promptly, too. Let a few, or more, in each community get together and effect the organization (as many as you wish), combine your strength, wisdom and finances (not much of the latter is needed) and fight down every effort to insult, humiliate and degrade us which bears upon our civil or other rights in public places of all kinds. There is a principle involved in every such denial which is of far-reaching importance to every member of the race in the state and country, and particularly in the community in which it occurs. Mrs. Ida Watkins Defends Her Dead Daughter. On Wednesday afternoon a Defender reporter called at the home of Mrs. Watkins to see if the newspaper talk of her daughter was true. Be weak from her troubles, she could hardly talk, but the first thing she said was: "I am so glad one of the papers of my race has come to my rescue. My daughter did not tell any one that she was white. She visited me regularly each week, and she could have been married to Mr. Kennedy had Mrs. (Rees) Kennedy not said that Mr. Kennedy ruined her life. My daughter, hearing of this, refused his hand to the woman, and she will. My daughter did this to protect womanhood, and this is her thanks. When Mr. Kennedy found out later that he was fooled he killed himself, willing to my daughter his belongings. I want the world to know this, and I am sure it will sympathize with me." The Daily Republic-News article of the Wattkins, and says they are one of the best and most highly respected families in that city—Chicago Defender. How Negroes Fight. The matter of political differences is handled so differently by white men from the way in which Negroes do. White men differ, fall out and make up whenever political exigencies determine the same. White men never fall out about any Negro, it matters not who he is. Negro men will soon be engaged in political warfare over the many white nominees for office; they will scratch, fight, abuse, attack, and gentlenessly act in order to help some white man into office. It is so much to be regretted that Negroes can't differ politically just as other folks do, and still be manly, gentlenessly and politic. They are the only stock in trade of some of our exchanges, and they do seem to enjoy it so much. N. Y. Supreme Court Rules Against Our Elks. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.—Supreme Court Justice Morschauer has enjoined Afro-American Elks of New York state from using the name, offices, emblem, or signs of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, as they have heretofore done. Precedence of the white organization is the basis of the decision in the case, which was brought by the Yonkers lodge. This is the first time this question has been adjudicated in New York state. Negroes Not Wanted! (From Washington, D. C., Bee, July 18, 1908.) Cincinnati, O. July 4.—The Taft headquarters in this city has repudiated the colored Americans. Afro-Americans who visit the headquarters here must take the freight elevator. Taft could not be elected mayor of this SAYINGS AND DOINGS OF THE RACE. H. H. Garner, a member of the race, is superintendent of letter carriers, Little Rock, Ark. Henry Cary, janitor, and Lena Seely (white), a German servant in the same New York apartment house, were married on the 16th ult. W. Sidney Pittman, the architect, has been given a $90,000 school to erect in Garfield, D. C., by the commissioners of the District of Columbia, on the recommendation of the inspector of buildings. "Steam-Roller" Hitchcock has been selected to conduct Mr. Tatt's campaign. There is no more corrupt politician in the whole republican party today, and his selection is an indication of the character of the Taft-Rosevelt element in the Republican primary party—Montgomery Colored Alahamian. AKANSU, NSUKWAR And Dompeem Gold Mining and Real Estate Company, by William H. Ferrie—Make 300 Per Cent on Investment. Negroes in Africa were smelting iron when the rest of mankind was using stone weapons and beginning to utilize bronze implements. So, while Africa has been the last continent to quiver with the throb of modern commercial life, she was the most southern to produce a civilization. Fifty years ago European men began to look long and longingly toward Africa and began to reap harvests from her ivory, her gold and her diamonds. Cecil Rhodes, the De Beers and Beit have piled up colossal fortunes in Africa, but now at last colored men in America are beginning to respond to the calls and demands of Thomas Johnson, a window-washer of the New Amsterdam theatre, New York, and I. Fluegelman (white) have invented an automatic window-washer which can be operated by hand or electricity. It does away with the danger of washing windows on the outside by hand. Our Knights of Pythias laid the cornerstone of a seven-story temple in New Orleans recently. The building will contain lodge rooms, a large auditorium and many business offices and stores. It will cost $200,000, and is the corner of Saratoga and Grever streets. At the entrance examination to Collegiate institute at Chatham, Ontario, Earl Murray, 15 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Murray, won the Central school golden medal. There were a thousand student applicants who passed. Editor P. H. Murray of the Louis Advocate is an uncle of the lad. Negroes visiting Taft headquarters in the city of Cincinnati had to ride up in the freight elevator or walk upstairs. One of the wealthiest and most prominent colored American business men of Dayton, Ohio, Mr. Moses Moore, a former law officer and officers of the law, says a Columbus daily paper, because he has bolted "Brownville" Taft for president and is supporting Bryan. Mr. Moore came to the city Monday and he told The Informer that there were mighty few Taft men among Ohio colored Republicans this year. "We simply cannot the Brownsville outrage!" was the way he expressed it. "Detroit Informer." It is said that the Taft headquarters in Cincinnati, where Vorys has been installed, are located in a building which provides separate elevators for the two men. A colored man wants to go up and protest the loyalty of his race to Secretary Taft he will have to go up on a freight car. This is regrettable and grievous, but is it surprising? There are two things that can be done one day: Mr. Taft picks out one of Ohioans. Mr. Taft can have his headquarters removed forthwith. If he fails or refuses to do this, colored Ohioans may register their protest some time early in November. There's no use crying over these things, but the country men is heartending—New York National Review. Professor Studies Indians Alberta. — Dr. Robert H. Lowie of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, returned Monday from Lake Athabasca, where he has been studying the Chippewau Indian. Prof. Lowie says that the Indians from Lake Athabasca north to the Arctic ocean and Hudson bay are the same as those at Lake Athabasca. Their average height is five feet seven inches. Dr. Lowie collected many interesting traditions of these Indians. He will visit the Cold Lake Indians and then go to study the Assiniboines. Will E. Smith's New Work. Helena, Ark. — Will E. Smith of Cleveland, who was connected with a college in Little Rock, is making this place his headquarters. For ten years he has opened this state opening missions for the Episcopal church and has been very successful. Helena is his latest missionary field and he will be glad to receive books, clothing, school supplies, money, etc., from friends of the church. One Dozen Beautiful Views With a dozen beautiful souvenir cards Mrs. Patricia Robison of Bonneville, Oregon, sends the following note: June 18, 1908. Hon. Mr. Smith, Dear Sir: I am sending you a few postal cards from Portland, Oregon, and I hope you will enjoy them. All success to you in fighting Taft. Then in 1912 we can get Foraker. PATRICIA ROBISON. "Easy Money." Battling Nelson and Joe Gans picked up a bunch of "easy money" when Tex Rickard declared off the proposed bout between the pair, set for Labor day, because cheap railroad rates could not be secured. Bat got two-thirds of a $10,000 guarantee posted by Rickard, and Gans one-third. Niagara Movement Meet: Oberlin, O. — The Niagara Movement, a national organization, at the head of which is Prof. W.

AKANSU, NSUKWAR And Domeem Gold Mining and Real Estate Company, by William H. Fernie—Make 300 Per Cent on Investment. Every great movement, moral, social, religious, political or financial, groups around some individual, whose insight sees the end, whose constructive genius utilizes the means for the realization of the end, and whose sanity, tact, judgment, discretion and ready sympathy inspires his comrades, and such a man as the inventor of the company, the man of integrity, of character. This company intends to invest money not in Africa, but to invest money in and develop property in New York and anywhere in America where wise and profitable investments can be made, and it will be the means of opening up profitable avenues of employment to hundreds of bright, ambitious colored boys and girls, men and women, who, in the meantime, will be given opportunity to make money and use the education which was gained for them by their own efforts and by the toil and self-sacrifice of ambitious parents. This is the first attempt of colored men to develop the gold mines and cocoa and rubber plantations in Africa on a large scale. If the attempt succeeds it will not only make the promoters, stockholders and subscribers rich, but it will be made the constructive and creative genius of the Negro race. Such a grand and glorious undertaking is well worth risking a few dollars on. A man never gets rich by putting his money in banks or insurance companies, but by developing the agricultural and mineral wealth locked up in the soil, which is released when man takes his pick, his ax, his shovel, machines, and begins out and harvest and set up his machines, and then we are getting down to the basic principles of political economy. The committee has prepared an elegant prospectus which gives the facts and presents the case in an interesting way. This may be had upon application at the office of the company. Every prospectus should be the accomplishment of results should either call and get a prospectus or send for one, and subscribe to the support of this company.

SAYS BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS AND PROF. W. E. B. DUBOIS, OUR LEADERS. DAWNING OF A NEW EPOC1 Will We Strike In Our Own Defense and Behalf?—Nothing Left for Us to Do, But Divide Our Vote, They Say! New York City July 21, 1908. New York City, July 21, 1908. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Many of my friends throughout the country have written me as to the attitude which the independent black voters should take in the coming campaign. I take this opportunity to answer such leisurely questions as I face. I think we should so act politically as to induce the Democratic party to change its attitude towards us—right about face. I am sure this can be done, if we go about it properly and persist in our efforts. At this stage of our development, there is surely no member of our race who is not in favor of our complete choice in the presidential election, the student of political science, who has not learned that innumerable are the benefits that accrue to the citizenry, that makes a proper use of its ballot; and no people in a republic can be safe in their rights who are deprived of the ballot. In the south, we have been deprived of the right of suffrage, largely because we have voted almost every time we were elected, so this we were forced to do, because the Democratic party was continually enacting legislation intrinsic to our best interest. We have found it difficult to support a party that was ever on the alert to curb our ambitions and limit our opportunities, but of late, we have been told by many of the leaders in our party that they are now willing to accord to the black man the same right and privileges accorded to the white man within the party. For this reason, I am willing to give them a trial. "Brownsville" Roosevelt and the South party has shown itself impotent to bring about the repeal of these odious and unjust laws. At least, we have been informed by many of the leaders of the Democratic party that they have discovered their mistake, and but they are willing to help us, if we will help them. It is apparent to the Democratic party is the only one that can give us permanent relief and since they are willing to do it, why not join hands with them? They dominate the southern section: it is the democratic party we must change from the error of its way. The task seems Herbert S. Cox, must as, says, "go with shovel, dick, and the dynamite of faith, to the twining of this mountain." The Opportune Time. Fourth. Now is the time to strike, while the Negroes are filled with reenforcement because of the Brownsville outrage, because the Democrats realize the needs of our cooperation in order to win. The time is at hand, when we should make a mighty effort to liberate ourselves from our political bondage. Will we do it—will we do it? Have the courage to brook the waters of the river and follow such an advanced step? The great bell in the tower of time which tolls only at the lawning of a new epoch, has struck; if we would follow the leadings of Jehovah—there is nothing left to do, to divide our votes. ALEXANDER WALTERS. NEGRO SOLDIERS—THEIR RIGHTS Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, in the National House of Representatives, on the Charge of His Negro Troops at Fort Harrison, "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 fate; and as I rode along among them guiding my horse this way and that way test he should profane with his loof what seemed to me the sacred dead, and as I looked on their bronzed 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 had only been to them a flag of gold, and whose 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 cathay, 'may my right hand forget its cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I ever fail to defend the rights of these men who have been the blood for me and my country this day, blood for the race forever,' and God helping me, I will keep that cathay. "From that hour all prejudice was gone, and an old-time states-right Democrat became a lover of the Negro race. And as long as their rights are protected, and other men under this government I am with them against all convers." YES, FORAKER "SALUTES" TAFTI "Senator Foraker's reference to Mr. Taft, in his speech before the Cincinnati chamber of commerce July 11, 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 a goner. The senator made matters worse by explaining what Mr. Taft's "fatal defect" consists in. He is pledged to continue the "so-called Roosevelt policies"—Springfield (Mass.) Republican. AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY. The old reliable Gazette desires 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 areas: Waterloo, Lakewood pool, 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 readers will oblige us greatly by sending us a letter of thanks to persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. CONDEMNS ROOSEVELT AND 'DISFRANCHISEMENT' TAFT CONDEMNS ROOSEVELT AND 'DISFRANCHISEMENT' TAFT The Latter for Condoning Disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" Cars —Brownsville! New York City—Denouncing President Roosevelt and asserting that no Negro was able to get an office from the present administration without the indorsement of a man whom the president had selected as his secretary office brownsville, Washington the Rev. R. C. Ransom, pastor of the Bethel A. M. E. church, recently made it plain to his congregation he would do everything possible to swing the Negro votes of the city against Secretary R. C. Ransom, minister also called the members of the Brownsville outrage. "Jim Crow" legislation with all its humiliations has been enacted with Republicans in full control of every branch of the federal government," Roosevelt said. He had been a political slave, used for party profit and often betrayed in the house of his friends. In the face of the words and acts of both President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft relating to the Brownsville affair on the one hand, and the disfranchisement on the other, our disfranchisement on the other, styling us 'political children who have not attained the intellectual stature of political manhood', we stand dazed. "Next to our resentment against Secretary Taft for the part he has played in the disfranchisement, be our interests, is our resentment of the overlordship established by President Roosevelt. He has chosen a Negro referee or federal office broker, so that today no Negro holds or can hold under the present administration of the United States, he has been stamped first with the uks of the president's Negro office broker. "Up to the present time parties have used the Negro for their own profit and advantage. The day is at hand when the Negro will use parties for the preservation of his liberties and the protection of his rights. He has been an important protest on the fringes of any political party. Party labels no longer will be magic words with which he may be enchanted. We know that the rights which we enjoy are ours not because of the protection of the federal government, but because of the attitude of the people of the states in which we live. As far as the national government is concerned, we might have his assistance in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. We do not have them only because the states and not the federal government make us secure." THE FACTS AS TO MARIE BOLDEN How some Negroes can be satisfied with the shadow instead of the substance is exemplified in the persistent claim of some of them, that Marie Bolden is the champion speller, because she is a Negro, and still retains the badge given her in the Hippodrome that memorable day. The fact is Assistant Superintendent Warren E. Hicks' "revision" credits Marie with one error and Ethel Cook and Maude Lesner, white girls, who also have badges, with NONE, thus giving the championship, the substance, to Ethel and Maude, while the SHADOW, the badge, is permitted to remain in the possession of Marie. No! the Negro has not the championship, the substance; he has nothing but the now meaningless badge, the shadow, which Marie's parents ought to promptly consign to a sewer in as public a manner as possible in honor (?) of Mr. Hicks' "revision."

It is expected that Cory Chap will send a representative to help represent the negative side of the question. "Eat cranges—lots of them," advises Dr. John Mohr. "They are a cure for many of life's lills. A big proportion of sickness comes from a sour or disordered stomach. The acid contained in oranges sweetens the taste of foods; the orange rarely hides dyspepsia, and are seldom troubled with headaches."

Endorsed by Mr. Walter B. Wright, Rev. W. T. W. Maxwell and N. G. Hamilton. Last week Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs. Walter B. Wright Jr. Eight-fifth street, N. W. entertained at a delicious dinner Mr. George W. Carroll and the editor of The Gazette in honor of Mr. A. Theo. Luce of Baltimore, Md. Mr. and Mrs. Wright have one of the most inviting homes Cleveland and are exceptionally thoughtful and hospitable to host and hostess, as all their many friends are aware. It was indeed a most successful social function. According to reports from the west, Gans and Nelson have been matched to fight to a finish in Nevada on Labor day. Nelson will get him or lose him, draw, and Gans half that amount to the draw, and showed these fighters when they met at Goldfield that they would not tolerate any nonsense, for they were there strong with guns and shooting irons of every description, determined to prevent anything that looked like a gun. Gans can still beat the Dane he will not be able to a chance of getting rough treatment. Then again if he does beat Nelson in the coming affair, it will be practically an admission that their recent fight at Frisco was a laydown on the part of Gans. So that looked at from the point of view, Mr. Gans is in a rather peculiar position—Walter C. Kelly. Two of the advocates of the Central avenue "cleaning up" movement, men who live in the East End, left St. Andrews' mission two weeks ago Monday night, went to the dance at Woodlifh hall and about 3 o'clock the following morning (Tuesday) were in the "Rathskeller" (in the basement of the building) buying drinks for a woman of the "red light district" and a man of the police man notified the proprietors to put a stop to it. This is the first time they, the proprietors, have ever received much notice, too. A great majority of those young men arrested last year and this on or near the various Central avenue corners live in other parts of the city than that vicinity. This the police station records show. Another fact of interest is that the bad places on the street are "run" without exception by white "men." When it comes to observing principles of the African-Americans "justify" them and their newspapers in violating, don't you think there are other things than streets that need "cleaning up" as well as Central avenue?

PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND For proof of this statement read the following letters. Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kingman, Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "For eight years I suffered from the most severe form of female troubles and was told that an operation was my only hope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has saved my life and made me a well woman." Mrs. Arthur R. House, of Church Road, Moorestown, N. J., writes: "I feel it is my duty to let people know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I suffered from female troubles, and last March my physician decided that an operation was necessary. My husband objected, and urged me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and to-day I am well and strong." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female illies, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, and backache. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. MOST ATROCIOUS MURDER MOST ATROCIOUS MURDER YOUNG WOMAN FOUND WITH HER THROAT CUT. Her Body Was Then Wrapped in Oil Soaked Mattress, Oil Poured Over Clothing and Set Fire. New York City.-In the finding of the half charmed body of a young woman early Wednesday morning in an isolated section of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, one of the most atrocious and cunningly planned murders that has been given to the police to solve in many years was revealed. Death was caused by a cut across the throat, and then in an endeavor to utterly destroy all evidences of the crime the murders wrapped the body in an oil-soaked mattress, poured oil over the victim's clothing and set fire to the bundle. A powerful acid had previously been poured over the face to obliterate the woman's features and make identification impossible. Although two arrests have been made, the police do not believe they have in custody anyone who can shed any light on the mystery. The prisoners are James Ruddick, an old man who lived in a stable not for away from where the body was found, and his son Joseph, a peddler, who discovered the body. It was James Ruddick who notified the police of the finding of the body, He told three different stories, thus exciting suspicion, and his arrest followed. First he said he discovered the body; next he said that an unknown man discovered it, and later he said that "the unknown man" was in reality his son Joseph. This last statement led to the arrest of Joseph. But the police do not attach much importance to Ruddick's conflicting stories. He is very old and was laboring under great excitement. He will be put through the third degree, however. The body was found in large vacant lot. The nearest buildings are stables and there is a dismal stretch of a quarter of a mile between them and the spot where the body was found. Ruddick, who was sleeping with his father in a stable, saw the flames about 4 o'clock Wednesday morning, and ran out to extinguish the blaze, fearing it might spread to the stable. He was horrified at finding the hall burned corpse tied in the oil-soaked mattress. It was impossible at first to tell whether the charred body was that of a woman or man. The sex was disclosed at the coroner's autopsy. A scapular was found on the murdered woman's breast and this is about the only clue the police have. FRIGHT WAS CAUSE OF DEATH Barber Points Revolver at an Alleged Debtor, Who Drops to Floor in a Faint—Weapon Not Discharged. New York City.—Charged with homicide in having frightened a man to death by jointing a gun at him. Gurgos Marsho, 29 years old, a barber, is locked up at police headquarters. His case is one of the strangest that has ever found its way to the police blotter. The address given by Marsho is a barber shop. The police allege that Marsho went to the barber shop on May 14 last to collect a bill from Impade Nazarian, another barber employed there. Nazarian appeared to be reluctant about paying the money and the two men exchanged words. In the heat of the argument it is alleged that Marsho drew a revolver and pointed it at Nazarian. At sight of the revolver Nazarian dropped to the floor in a fainting fright, and Marsho, who was also badly frightened, took to his heels, although he had not discharged the weapon. Nazarian was taken to Bellevue hospital. After he had been there a few hours internal hemorrhages set in and he died a few days later. DEVOTION TO INSANE WIFE After Taking Care of His Helpmate 30 Years, Husband Allows Her to be Taken Back to an Asylum. Cleveland, O.—After living as a recluse and devoting 30 years of his life to the care of his wife, incurably insane, in their specially arranged little home at 1918 East One Hundred and First street, John Hottois gave in to the wishes of his neighbors Wednesday and allowed his wife to be taken back to the madhouse. Hottois, now an old man, has been caretaker of Rockefeller's home at East Fortieth street and Euclid avenue for 27 years. There is no heart in his work now. Tearfully he tells the long story, the undying devotion of his unfortunate wife. Unearthly shrieks had startled neighbors at night. They only knew that they came from the Hottois house, but the old man had guarded well his secret and they did not know the story. Miners Shoot Each Other.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1908. Practical Fashions CHILD'S ONE-PIECE TUCKED DRESS. Paris Pattern No. 2458, All Seams Allowed.—Developed in bright pink French gingham, pin-spotted with white, this pretty little one-piece frock is both simple in construction and becoming when worn. The fullness of the front and back body portion is distributed in very narrow tucks, fitted to the waist line, which gives ample width to the skirt extension. This body portion is attached to the yoke which is hidden by the shaped collar of the material, finished with an edging of narrow German Valenciennes lace, the round Dutch neck being left plain. A sash of the lawn, or pink surah silk is tied at the back in a jaunty bow, and the short puffed sleeves are gathered into narrow bands of the material, the dress closing invisibly at the center-back. The pattern is in four sizes—one to seven years. For a child of five years the dress requires $3\%$ yards of material 27 inches wide, $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 36 inches wide, or $2\frac{1}{8}$ yards 42 inches wide.

New Fountain of Youth. A certain poet famous for the warmth of her earlier effusions desires to avoid the learned wrinkle that becomes a part of the literary face. So she has above her desk a little mirror in which she glances occasionally as she writes, and if she finds her brow wrinkled in thought she breaks it by smiling vividly and murmuring some assertion of "Peace, Joy and Serenity!" One day as she was doing a very learned essay of the High Think order she found that the crease between her eyes persevered. She got angry then and stopped the assertions. On the spur of the moment she tore a corner from her writing pad, dabbed it with mucilage and placed it on the wrinkle. It stuck fast in a few minutes and then hardened, and now she declares that she has discovered a new fountain of eternal youth.

The removal or restrictions on Indian lands in the Indian Territory portion of Oklahoma, is creating great interest throughout the nation among capitalists looking for investments and planning to establish manufactories, as well as among the tillers of the soil who hope to better their condition. Chickasha is situated in the Washita valley, the center of the choice of the Indian lands, and to that city will go those who study the situation intent on reaching the vantage point. Seven railroad lines diverge there. Water plants will furnish to manufactories cheap electric power. Chickasha ships more corn, more cotton and more live stock than any other point in Oklahoma. The modern built business district in the valley and beautiful residence portion on hills make a veritable dreamland. The imposing churches and modern school buildings are monuments to the character of the citizens who erected them. The country for which Chickasha is the market center ranks with the most productive in the world. Corn, cotton, wheat and alfalfa are grown with equal success to that of either crop in a one crop country. Garden trucking is to be one of the most profitable pursuits. Fruits of all kinds grow and produce luxuriantly. In fact, Grady county, of which Chickasha is the capital, is the garden spot of the earth. Chickasha has a live Commercial Club which promptly answers letters of inquiry regarding the section to which the eyes of the nation are just now directed. SAVAGE FLING AT AUDIENCE. Inebriated Orator Resented Disapproval of His Condition. "Like many a statesman of the past," said Senator Beveridge, "he drank too much. And one Fourth of July morning, on a platform hung with flags and flowers before the courthouse of a country town, facing an audience of farmers and their families that had come from miles around, the statesman arose to deliver the Independence day oration in a slightly intoxicated state. "He was not incapable of an oration, but his unsteady gait, his flushed face and disordered attire spoke ill of him, and the audience blissed. "He held up his hand. They were silent. Then he laughed scornfully and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, when a statesman of my prominence consents to appear in such a little, one-horse town as this, he must be either drunk or crazy. I prefer to be considered an inebriate."—Washington Star. THE REASON WHY. First Passenger—I wonder why the train is making such a long stop at this station. Second Passenger (experienced traveler)—I suppose it is because no one happens to be trying to catch the train. Weary Willie's Complaint William J. Ryan, president of the supreme council of public hackmen of New York, said the other day that the winter panic had reduced the hackmen's receipts considerably. "We'll have to come down to English rates—12 cents a mile instead of 50 cents—if we have many more such panics," Mr. Ryan said. "Everybody felt the pinch. I overheard a tramp grumbling in a public square. "The trade don't like it used to be," he said. "Here ten times running today I've asked for a bit of bread, and what do they give me? Why, durnit, just a bit o' bread."—Exchange. A. Sensible Literary Chap "I'm not runnin' a ten-acre farm in connection with the literary business," says the Sweet Singer of southwest Georgia, "and so, the outlook is more cheerful. I hope to make enough cotton to have my poems published in a book and enough corn to feed the family while I'm waitin' for the public to buy the book. I also take contracts for the digging of wells, and these little side issues will enable me to show American literature just what I can do!"-Atlanta Constitution. HEALTH AND INCOME Both Kept Up on Scientific Food. Good sturdy health helps one a lot to make money. With the loss of health one's income is liable to shrink, if not entirely dwindle away. When a young lady has to make her own living, good health is her best asset. "I am alone in the world," writes a Chicago girl, "dependent on my own efforts for my living. I am a clerk, and about two years ago through close application to work and a boarding house diet, I became a nervous invalid, and got so bad off it was almost impossible for me to stay in the office a half day at a time. "A friend suggested to me the idea of trying Grape-Nuts, which I did, making this food a large part of at least two meals a day. "Today I am free from brain-tire, dyspepsia, and all the fills of an overworked and improperly nourished brain and body. To Grape-Nuts I owe the recovery of my health, and the ability to retain my position and income." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Sometimes there is a drop of regret in the cup of joy served by fate to the husband of a brilliant talker. "I should think it would be a privilege to sit at the table with your wife three times a day," said one of Mrs. Grandon's ardent feminine admirers. "Only twice a day," said Mr. Grandon, with a bow. "I do not go home at noon." "Too bad!" said the admirer. "We could not get on without her at club I'm sure. Why. I believe she could talk intelligently on a thousand topics!" "She can—and does," said Mr. Grandon, and with another bow she slipped out just as his wife appeared. — Youths. Companion. CUTICURA CURED FOUR Southern Woman Suffered with itching, Burning Rash—Three Little Babies Had Skin Troubles. "My baby had a running sore on his neck and nothing that I did for it took effect until I used Cuticura. My face was nearly full of tetter or some similar skin disease. It would itch and burn so that I could hardly stand it. Two cakes of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment cured me. Two years after it broke out on my hands and wrist. Sometimes I would go nearly crazy for it itched so badly. I went back to my old stand-by, that had never failed me—one set of Cuticura Remedies did the work. One set also cured my uncle's baby whose head was a cake of sores, and another baby who was in the same fix. Mrs. Lille Wilcher, 770 Eleventh St, Chattanooga, Tenn. Feb. 16, 1907." Kind Gentleman—My poor man, of all the bad scrapes you've had, which was the worst? Rambling Rupert—De worse scrape I ever had, sir, was when I got shaved in a barber college. Regular Burial Place. A well-known English bishop some time since lost his third wife. A clergyman who had known the first wife returned from Africa and wanted to see the grave. He called at the cathedral and saw the verger. "Can you tell me where the bishop's wife is buried?" "Well, sir," replied the verger, "I don't know for certain, but he mostly buries 'em at Brompton."
