TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 4. TWO NATTY GOWNS THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WORLD The model at the left is of blue volle in the form of a draped princess gown. The fichu is bordered on the outside with little passementerie balls and on the inside with straps of passementerie and little buttons. These straps and buttons also trim the pretty draped skirt at each side. The fichu is finished on the inside with white lace over a plastron of white tulle or mousseuse de sole, which is tucked crosswise. The odd sleeves are of the material, finely tucked, and of lace. The cavat is of black liberty, the ends finished with gold tassels. The other most charming gown is of gray blue volle or tussah silk, trimmed with white braid. The sleeves are cut in one piece with the corset, which is trimmed in front with cord and ornamented with white buttons with corsets. The plastron and cuffs are of white linen, all made with tucks and little ruffles. The skirt, in three stages, is plaited and trimmed with the white braid. The girdle is of liberty, matching the gown. IN VICIOR THERE ESTRUCTURA TWENTY-SIXTH TWO NATT The model at the left is of blue w gown.

"Politeness in the home is like the straw used in packing china; it saves breakage and prevents crashes," writes Lillian Bell. If everybody would take this to heart there would be many happier homes than there are now. It is an absurd excuse to make that one must be one's self before home folk. One needs good manners just among those people more than among outsiders. The man who treats his wife as though she was a comfortable piece of furniture is not satisfactory to any woman. It is not possible for her to keep from drawing comparisons with the way he treats other women when they are at the house. A woman who hasn't the first idea of manners when her husband is around, should not be astonished when he prefers another woman who is always well bred and gracious in his presence. Formalities are unnecessary and foolish. Conventional politeness is not wanted. It would stiffen the atmosphere and take away from the home likeness. But there are all sorts of gentle little courtesies that should be shown by every one to everybody in the home, and they certainly do prevent a great deal of crash and breakage. A Rosy Costume. A beautiful organdie gown with a design of large pink roses is made with a jacket effect on the bodice edged with lace. The skirt is quite plain and very tight down to within about 16 inches of the floor, where it suddenly flares out with ten narrow bliss bias of a solid pink lawn. The girdle is of pink satin, which ties on one side of the front. With the costume is worn a hat of white horsehair, made in Charlotte Corday style, with a wreath of tiny pink roses round the crown. It makes a pretty sexy-dress gown for dinner in a hotel, and it is yet youthful enough to be becoming to a young girl. Feather Ornaments for Evening Wear. In striking contrast to the huge bows in tinsel, strewn with glittering spangles, so much in favor with women in society not so very long ago, has come a pretty and unobtrusive evening coiffure ornament. It is in the shape of a tip of ostrich, whether white, black, red, blue or any color to harmonize with the gown, which nods on the top of the stem of some of the long pins designed for ornamenting the head. These tips contribute immensely to finish an evening toilette, and if not too large are most effective. Mud Spots on Gowns As a remedy for that most exasperating discovery, a mud stain or grass stain upon an otherwise spotless linen suit, remove all possible soil with a dry brush and apply with a clean sponge any one of the standard "cleaners" in popular use for white shoes. This simple process is astonishingly successful, as the white liquid quite obliterates the stain, and if applied with a damp instead of a wet sponge, the garment will be immaculate and ready to wear in 15 minutes. THE GAZETTE LATE STYLES IN UNDERWEAR. New Ideas Are Evolved from Imported Designs. Some of the most striking, as well as sensible, under muslins are being brought out for the summer trade by domestic manufacturers. Each season designers from the largest American plants visit the markets abroad to look over the new ideas and fashions, after which it generally happens that these are taken up and improved upon. The single piece garment, made of nailsock and comprising drawers and corset cover, has been evolved from foreign fashions, but changed somewhat to meet the American idea. These are serviceable, comfortable, and do away with extra skirt and bulk around the waist, besides being cooler for summer wear. American-made silk underwear is also meeting with more favor, and some of the latest novelties now shown in the market are meeting with such success that manufacturers find it difficult to take care of the orders. In men's garments sleeveless shirts and short drawers are now being turned out in either all silk or mercerized fabrics. These suits are not expensive, as they can be purchased at prices ranging from two dollars per suit up. Light colors are coming into fashion, and all of the latest lines on the market range through shades of blues, plinks, grays and light tans. Manufacturers of sweaters are looking forward to what they believe will be the largest fall season in many years. The coat sweater has been improved upon, and women will now find no trouble in getting garments that fit and look attractive when worn. STYLISH LITTLE FROCK. A pretty dress of white linen with wide tucks. The sailor collar, revers and cuffs are made of red lion, trimmed with white braid, while the shield and tabler are of the white, with red braid and buttons. The tie and belt are red ribbon, the lattes fastened with a large gilt buckle. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1908.

HOW MOBS AND LYNCH-MURDER ERS ARE PROMOTED IN THIS SECTION. HELLISH EXHIBITIONS! Like "The Black Viper" and "Lynchings Illustrated" Are Being Placed in Every Northern City While Negroes Sleep, Eat, Dance and Dress Fine. Cleveland, O., No. 3324 Cedar avenue, August 13, 1908. Hon. H. C. Smith. Dear Sir: I went out to Luna park last (Wednesday) evening. While walking around, I passed a place which was placarded "The Black Viper." Lower down was a picture supposed to represent a colored man choking a white woman. I intended to investigate the interior, but the rain came and we had to leave. I have written to the manager asking to have the objectionable amusement (9 removed). I think some of our men should see him and state the case. I am sure they will be pleased to acquiesce. Yours truly. HATTIE K. PRICE. Cleveland, O., August 14, 1908. Mayor Tom L. Johnson, City Hall. Dear Shr: The enclosed from one of our best public school teachers is self-explanatory. It is not necessary for me to say that mobs and lynchings only are promoted by such baneful actions, but the intention to in the accompanying communication. Then the effect upon children, many of whom frequent Luna park. I trust you will take this matter up with our officers of the law, if necessary, at once, if the manager of Luna park does not "see the light" promptly, and have moved from this good city an amusement (?) that threatens the safety and morals of the community, in no place for such hellish exhibitions and there is not the shadow of an excuse for their existence anywhere except in the diseased mind of some fearfully prejudiced individual. HARRY C. SMITH Mayor's Office, August 14, 1908. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Dear Sir: The mayor has your letter of the 14th and in reply directs me to say that Luna park is located outside the city limits; therefore, as mayor, he would have no authority to direct traffic. He suggests if you write a letter to Mr. Salsbury, the manager of Luna park, who is a very decent sort of fellow, that undoubtedly he would have the feature referred to eliminated. County Commissioners and Sheriff, Gentlemen: The enclosed from Mrs. Price is self-explanatory, when it is remembered that Ohio has a mob violence law that holds the county liable to the extent of $5,000 for persons injured or lynched (murdered) by a mob, and that mobs and lynch-murder only are promoted by such baneful actors. The only place where Cleveland is no place for such hellish exhibitions and there is not the shadow of an excuse for their existence anywhere except in the diseased minds of terribly prejudiced persons. Then, the effect upon children, many of whom frequent Luna park! This city and county ought not to tolerate for a single moment an exhibition that so seriously threatens the safety and good morals of the community. OVER OUR MOTHER Johnson is in hearty sympathy with the action, so Secretary Gongwer assures me in a communication received yesterday. But a few months ago the editor of the Gazette had to invoke the aid of the mayor and police to drive from the city another low exhibition, "lynchings illustrated," (particularly the alleged cause of them) which occupied a store-room on one of the leading and most centrally located cities in Cleveland. Southern white brutes and their parasites were "running" the damnable "exhibition," while Negroes were eating, sleeping, dancing and dressing fine, not a whit bothered, and won't be, we fear, until the dirty, prejudiced and criminal cowards work up a local sentiment that will some day load on Cleveland a lynch-murder or two, such as disgraced Springfield Illums, last week of this year.

In this presidential year, when the politicians of every party are seeking office, we shall doubtless hear much of the words "LAW" and "RIGHT" and "JUSTICE." Doubtless some of our campaign orators will quote—as they often do—a national document which is extremely fashionable in campaign years, and which says: "All men are endowed with certain inalienable rights—among these are LIFE, LIBERTY and the pursuit of HAPPINESS." Night before last, in the capital city of one of the greatest of the states, a citizen living under this very constitution met death in this manner. The man's name was Wm. Donigan. For many years he had made a living for himself and his wife and children by mending shoes in a humble shop two blocks from the state house of Illinois. Saturday night he was at work as was his custom. Suddenly a crowd surrounded his little place of business. IT SET FIRE to the building, and the man, choking in the smoke, fled to the street. There he was STONED, and as he staggered he was seized by the men who made up this mob. Next Wm. Donigan's throat was cut. A ROPE WAS THEN RUN THROUGH THE WOUND, and the victim was bound to a tree. What was the offense of this feeble, gray-haired man of 80 that he should be driven from his shoemaker's bench and tortured? He was a Negro; and in the city where he, a simple, inoffensive man, had lived for years, another Negro whom he did not know and perhaps had never seen, had been accused of assault against a woman. Seventy-one years ago, in this same Springfield, Ill., then a little western frontier town, a young men's lycme used to meet on winter evenings to discuss public questions. On Jan. 27, 1837, the topic for the evening's discussion was "The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions." At Vicksburg, a few months before, a mob had lynched a number of white men, and in St. Louis, a few weeks before, a Negro, about to be executed for murder, was seized by a mob, dragged through the streets and lynched. The young men of the Springfield lycme on this particular evening discussed these matters. The principal speech of the evening was made by an awkward, raw-boned young man who had recently come to the little town, and who had only that year been admitted to the bar. This young man said, among many other interesting things, that evening: "THE INNOCENT, those who have ever set their faces against violations of law in every shape, ALIKE WITH THE GUILTY, FALL VICTIMS TO THE RAVAGES OF MOB LAW; and thus it goes on step by step, till all the walls erected for the defense of the persons and property of individuals are trodden down and disregarded. "By the perpetrators of such acts going unpunished, the lawless in spirit are encouraged to become lawless in practice; and having been used to no restraint but dread of punishment, they thus become absolutely unrestrained. "By the operation of the mobocratic spirit, THE STRONGEST BULWARK OF ANY GOVERNMENT, AND PARTICULARLY OF THOSE CONSTITUTED LIKE OURS, MAY BE EFFECTUALLY BROKEN DOWN AND DESTROYED—I mean the attachment of the people. "All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. "If danger ever reaches us, IT MUST SPRING UP AMONG US; it cannot come from abroad. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time, OR DIE BY SUICIDE." Seventy-one years after this speech was made by this awkward young lawyer, a mob of citizens cut the throat of another citizen who was innocent of crime—and THEN THEY RAN A ROPE THROUGH HIS GAPING WOUND. And this was done within earshot of the grave of that young lawyer, Abraham Lincoln, who later became sixteenth president of the United States and emancipator of the Negro slave. In 71 years we ought to have become CIVILIZED, but we haven’t. In 71 years we ought to have learned the horror of hanging, burning and riddling with bullets, during every presidential term, one thousand victims of lynch law. BUT WE HAVEN’t. Looking at this latest outbreak at Springfield, it seems impossible that a courageous governor, seated in his state house, and with thousands of militia at his beck, could not have stopped rioting such as this before it ran three days. GOV. DENEEN CAN ONLY REDEEM HIMSELF BY SEEING THAT ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE SPRINGFIELD MOB ARE BROUGHT TO IJUSTICE. LOW AND CONTEMPTIBLE! The Treatment Accorded Afro-American Camps by "Help" and an Akron Daily Newspaper—"Fired" by the Manager. Silver Lake, Cuyahoga Falls, O.—Eight apparently well-to-do Afro-American campers are occupying one of the nicest double cottages at the park (this summer in it that makes campers' life homelike, even to a piano. They are to remain two weeks. A "po white" pair, man and man, employees, by the name of Hudgins (W. B.) of Cleveland, a paper hanger, were hired by the manager of this resort to manage the beautiful dance hall, and his wife to take care of the ladies' toilet. In the absence of the manager, Mr. Lodge) on Tuesday evening August 11, Hudgins and wife took it on themselves to make trouble which was a disgrace to the place and all the people of intelligence here.

The Afro-Americans were already there and having a good time dancing. She (Mrs. Hudgins) went to the head of the stairs and yelled out: "All you white folks come down stairs." About 60 did so and Hudgins gave them back their tickets. After it was explained to them that the "call" was only Hudgins' prejudice of fitness and that they were led by the woman that was "director-general" of the ladies' toilet, they returned to the dance hall, except about 16, who thus showed themselves on a level with the Hudgins in at least one respect and that one lamentable indeed. The manager (Mr. Lodge) returned at 11 p. m., and on being told what had occurred during his absence, at once discharged the Hudgins. The Afro-American campers are the first ever here and the white campers treat them fine. A SILVER LAKE EMPLOYE. Burnham B. Whiting's connection with The Gazette was severed over a week ago.

YES, FORAKER "SALUTES" TAFT! "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.) Republic can. If the Democrats of the Eighth Ohio district are wise they will back Hon. C. E. Wharton, the Socialist candidate, for congress and the Afro Americans' best friend in that part of the state. The Niagara movement, Prof. W. E. B. Du Bols, general secretary (president), and the National Afro-American council, Bishop Alexander Walters, president, are our two most effective national race organizations. The former will hold its annual conference at Oberlin August 31 to September 2, and ought to be largely attended by the thoughtful and loyal of the race. Illinois has an anti-lynching law, which was patterned after our Ohio law, that will now have a chance to do some good. Let those injured and the relatives of the persons killed by the Springfield, Ill., mobs use it and there will be no more lynch-murders in that state for many years to come. Our Ohio law has proven most effective indeed. Ohio Afro-Americans should note the fact that all nominees for the legislature are being bound by a pledge to vote for some one other than Senator Foraker, by the Taft people everywhere in the state they are strong enough to force the pledge. This will make it impossible for us to vote for these candidates this fall. It proves, too, beyond all question or doubt, the fact that Taft is favorable to the elimination of the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker from the United States senate. Let us do some eliminating, too, and show the gratitude and appreciation for our great and good friend, he is clearly entitled to. Remember Brownsville! TAFT AGAINST FORAKER. It is generally accepted throughout Ohio that Judge Taft and his followers have decided upon the elimination from public life of Senator Foraker, and announcement has been made that Arthur I. Vorys, Taft's personal representative for Ohio in the present campaign, has been slated to succeed the senator. Mr. Taft made Vorys the Ohio member of the national Republican committee, and for services rendered would make him a member of the United States senate to succeed Ohio's senior senator, the only outspoken friend the race has in that august body, and indeed, in public life. The Ohio Afro-American knows, and all others should know, that a vote for Taft this fall is not only an endorsement of his stand in favor of disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars in the south, and his own and Roosevelt's policy in the Brownsville matter (the dismissal without honor at the one hundred and sixty-seven innocent members of "The Black Battonion"), but also an endorsement of the Taft effort to eliminate Senator Joseph Benson Foraker from public life. This is a FACT that the combined effort of the Taft-subsidized Negro press and individuals of the entire country cannot overshadow or cry down. A Taft victory in November means the political death of Senator Foraker, as matters now stand, and this is thoroughly understood throughout this state, too. A POLITICAL THEFT. The local Republican candidates for the legislature are to be nominated in a convention this year contrary to the wishes of the majority of the members of the party in the county and in face of the indorsement by the Republicans of the city of the popular vote plan of primaries given at the polls several years ago, and the well-known and acknowledged general favor of the same way of making all nominations. A few local would-be boss politicians have arbitrarily set aside the popular vote plan of primary elections this year (for candidates for the legislature only) in order to dictate the nomination of men favorable to the election of Congressman Burton to the United States senate and the consequent defeat of Senator Foraker for re-election. This was publicly announced a few days ago in our local daily papers by Maurice Maschke, a member of the county Republican executive committee, who poses as one of the would-bosses of the local Republican party, if not the would-boss. Thousands of local Republicans voted against Mr. Burton last fall when a candidate for mayor, for the reason that he was attempting to crawl into Senator Foraker's seat and get lost, through the mayoralty of Cleveland. Their objection to him will stand throughout the present campaign and secure the defeat of Republican nominees for the assembly, of Maschke and "Bill" Crawford's convention just so surely as it held. To the number holding this objection must be added the Republicans of the county who indorse the popular vote plan of making nominations and those who believe in helping to nominate as well as elect the party's candidates, and who object to bosses, whether "Bill" Crawford, Maurice Maschke or others doing the selecting, nominating and pledging of candidates for them. The double-headed (primary and convention) plan of nominating the Republican candidates for the county this fall, is evidence that the would-bosses did not dare steal all of the right to nominate, but that they hope the cry "for Burton's interest" will justify their partial steal of the assembly nominations. Well, we shall again soon see if the intelligent, independent thinking and observing Republicans are to be thus hoodwinked and fooled by would-bosses "Bill" Crawford and Maurice Maschke Sharpen your pencils, gentlemen! THE DIRTY BLACKGUARD AND HIS GLORY. Will not Mr. Chestnut—Chas. W.—translate and present to Mr. Smith as a motto for the walls of his chambers an ancient conception of true and sweet charity: mournils nil nisi bonum.—N. Y. National Review. The above closes a contemptible attack which was nearly one column of abuse. It is so characteristic of our New York race newspapers that we suppose we ought not to be surprised. But we are. For the benefit of one Roscoe Conkling Simmons, editor of the Review, we wish to say that the editor of The Gazette learned here in Cleveland, Ohio, to translate: De mortuls nil nisl bonum When he was running barefoot and wit, his "diddles" on, in the canebrakes of Louisiana or Mississippi Our freind, "Mr. Chestnut—Chas W." can speak for himself. Whether the editor of The Gazette is a "shining ornament either to Negro journalism or to his times," we will leave to the judgment of sober, honest and mature minds that have no interest in trying to bolster up a career of criminality and drunkenness in order, possibly, to pave the way for themselves in the future. "Those who penned the rebukes (iles) * * * still live," says the Review. No doubt! But how? Like the snakes they were and are—in hiding (as to their identity). They made their lying attacks unsigned or over nom de pummes, in the columns of a paper presided over by an unscrupulous rascal who had not only robbed his co-colaborers time and agit, but every one else he came in contact with and could rob. The records of the Louisville, Indianapolis and Washington courts will show this to be true. The dirty snakes who, in the language of the Review, "still live," one of whom we believe wrote the Review editorial from which the excerpt given above was taken, took advantage of a drunken condition, oft-times, or a consequent omnipresent need of money, when they secured the publication of their contemptible lying attacks, abuse and spleen (never "rebukes"). The cowards are still in hiding and we note with regret the opening of the columns of the Review to them or their kind, for a lying, abusive, uncalled for attack that will do the editor of The Gazette no harm and the editor of the Review no good, in the end. It is difficult for us to believe that he wrote the contemptible, lying attack. The Gazette has never made nor permitted to be made in its columns the like, and sincerely it will ever be impossible for us to stoop to such a low level. Foraker and Dick Two of this nation's greatest living patrols whose scalps and positions the foes to Negro development want, are the above named friends. Taft better let these Godly men alone who have stood up and done as He would have done and look after his own election, than to plan Foraker and Dick's defeat. Such a scheme will reassure every ambitious and race loving Negro on earth, some of whom might have been killed for him. As it is, it is throwing in the fire. Why should fully 13,000,000 people fold their arms in the crucifixion of Senators Foraker and Dick, our Summer, Garrison, Lovejoy and Wendell Phillips type of friends, any more than they did the death of John Brown? We stand for Joseph Benson Foraker with the valor and determination that we shouldered our musket and mustered in for service, and then served. Foraker and Dick is to add insult to injury, and by the help of God, we will resent it—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Ploneer Press. A NEW BOOK. Doubleday, Page & Co., New York City, are publishing this month a volume entitled "Studies in the American Race Problem" by Mr. Alfred Holt Stone of Mississippi, who was chosen by the Carnegie institute to write the economic history of the Negro. This quotation from his preface will indicate the breadth of his aims: "I will write about the people who come after us earnestly to seek the removal of stumbling blocks to the mutual respect and esteem, the better appreciation, the more fraternal regard and good will which make for national unity of thought and purpose—for national peace and happiness." He endeavors to bring about changes in attitudes and races over the race question through a better understanding of the question itself; and, in this endeavor, he has as much at heart the interests of one race as the other's.

A horror-sick committee of the Georgia legislature is sitting in Atlanta listening to stories of convicts torn, crippled and killed under the lash; of those wearing anklets with spikes three inches long to trip them up if they try to escape; of others tortured by broken arms untreated by physicians; and listening to other things of which men who hear the stories refuse to speak. The inquiry came because legislative inspection of the convict camps of Georgia had "disclosed irregularities, and present convict leaves were about to expire." It had been discovered "for the first time" that the wardens employed by the state were regularly receiving pay from the lessees, and that the state warden, one Jake Moore, (white, of course), in direct employ of the state warden commission, had acquired a fortune of some $40,000 within a few years, on a salary of $140 a month—which it has been discovered came from trafficking in convicts and acting as go-between with the lessees. The fact is, for many years the convict lease system of the south, a veritable "hell on earth," has been a stench in the nostrils of all decent people who could rise above their silly color and race prejudice. But just as long as only Afro-Americans were the murdered, butchered and outraged victims of white overseers, brutes and fiends incarnate, just so long, through all these years, almost since the days of reconstruction, no attention, except periodical outbursts in some few of the better newspapers of the country, nearly all in the north, has been paid to it, largely because of such "white-wash" statements in the southern press (as a rule) as the following: "Dr. John E. White, (white), of Atlanta, is the latest sorrower to tell the truth about the vicious leasing of convicts. The present system, he said recently, is not so bad as that which existed from 1865 to 1899, when convicts were sold "as one would sell cattle," not only by the state, but by purchaser after purchaser. From 1865 to 1899 the state got $7.50 a head a year, but convicts get $136, but the lessee retains them high as $570 a year." As a result of the better bargaining, the state makes $200,000 a year profit out of its convicts, and this revenue is the greatest obstacle to a reform. People do not want the state to lose that income. Here, truly, says Mr. White, is a real evil of this policy—the state has been trained to regard the convict as an asset, as a good fortune rather than a burden; crime has been conducted in the form of revenue. The increase of lawbreakers he adds, if regretted to-day, is ignored tomorrow when the dollars come rolling in." The mainming and murdering of convicts is not by any means the worst feature of the barbarous southern "system." It is a notorious fact that hundreds, yes thousands of children have been born to black mothers in those southern hell-holes, known as "stockades" and "camps," the fathers of whom were the brutal, flendifish and practically uncivilized white overseers or convict camp guards. At times, in years gone by, an occasional white northerner or Afro-Americans of both sections of the country, shocked beyond endurance for the time "being at least at some exceptional southern convict-camp atrocity, would cry out against the terrible "system" in a newspaper article or two which would attract some little attention, but would soon be forgotten, possibly because only "Negroes were the sufferers and victims." At last "the shoe has pinched the other foot," the right foot. White convicts are now being treated as have been the blacks for lo! these many years, so bold have the convict-leeses become, and the result is ACTION which we trust is but the beginning of the end of the terribly brutal, flendifish and barbarous convict-lease system of not only Georgia, but the entire southland. The Spaniards' worst crimes in Cuba, during their control of that island, never equaled those of the southern convict lease "stockades" or "camps." Olean, N. Y., News. The trustees of the A. M.

E. Cooper was a disgrace to Negro journalism; and any one who says differently either did not know the fellow, or —" The traitorous and abusive New York Age took exception to the above and in a very weak effort to become sentimental over a very bad case (Cooper's), charges The Gazette with cowardice as a result of the publication of the paragraph in question. Well, we said repeatedly when Cooper was in life, much more than the above quoted editorial note conveys, because it was merited and because what we said was true. We would not have said anything since his death but for the fact that the Age and other contemporaries, some of which were innocent of the fact that Cooper was anything but what their fulsome and unmerited praise was making him in the minds of their readers, were doing our male youth, particularly, great harm in undertaking to make of Ed. Cooper a "shining example" for them to follow. It is not necessary to carry this discussion unless the Age and others wish it. However, if they do, we will not hesitate to discuss Cooper's career in Louisville, Ky., Indianapolis, Ind., and Washington, D. C. Speaking of cowards; who is the editor of the Age and why is he too cowardly to publish his name at the head of its editorial page? The conduct of that sheet since T. Thomas Fortune was deposed from the editorial chair and his connection with the paper severed because he could not or would not "stomach" President "Brownsville" Roosevelt and Mr. "Disfranchisement, Jim-Crow Car" Taft; is enough to make almost any one ashamed to be heralded as its editor, or of being connected with it in any capacity. Editor Murphy of the Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American is quite right in classing the Age "as among the papers that deal in personal abuse." We are sorry this is so, but it is, nevertheless. HICKS "SMOKED OUT" AT LAST! Under the date July 11, 1908, Assistant Superintendent Warren E. Hicks of the Cleveland public schools, wrote the editor of The Gazette that the "contention for revision was based on the good name of all of the sixty children who spelled." The result of revision was to give the victorious Cleveland team thirty-three errors instead of the greater number resultant from the Hippodrome examination and to credit the Little Afro-American girl, Marie Chew Bolden, with one error and two local white girls, members of the team, with none. These facts were published in the local daily papers of this city and the country, and were secured at our school headquarters by the local newspaper reporters. The less number of errors (33) is still claimed as the record of the spelling "bee" by those in control at school headquarters and by the victorious members of the Cleveland team. This cannot be done without recognizing the revision which took from Marie Bolden the championship. On August 6, 1908, Mr. Hicks" wrote the editor of The Gazette that there was a revision, as follows: "My files of correspondence show that I opposed revision from the first." First he tries to justify revision; next he tries to show that he was opposed to it. To clinch the fact that there was a revision the Cleveland Press, which claims to have secured its information at school headquarters, Mr. Hicks in charge, published on July 6, 1908, the result of the same in an article which we have repeatedly given in these columns in recent weeks. The Gazette derives considerable satisfaction from the fact that it has "smoked out" the wiggling, wriggling Mr. Hicks with his counter statements as to revision and his final denial that there was any; and that we have at last, after weeks of contending, compelled him to publicly acknowledge the championship of the little Afro-American. Now if we could only be assured that there was no revision RECORD at school head quarters which in the future would show the two little white girls credited with no errors and Marle with one, we would be perfectly satisfied and know that our victory is complete. Those loud-mouthed Negroes who seek to enter the controversy we have had for weeks with Mr. Hicks, after the battle has been about won, ought to have aroused themselves from their usual and characteristically dormant state many weeks ago. Then too, their effort to help "whitewash" Mr. Hicks is about as despicable as was their advice to our people of this community to patronize the daily News and the daily Leader some months ago when those miserable sheets were calling them "niggers coons, darkies, mokes, dingles, black birds," and the Lord only knows what ATTENTION! OHIO MEMBERS! Dear Mr. Smith: I presume you have already received a circular letter from the executive committee of the Niagara movement, notifying you of the conference to be held in Oberlin August 31st to September 2nd. I have been asked to enlist the encouragement and aid of the Ohio members. I shall appreciate whatever may give through The Gazette. I count to have a full attendance of all Ohio members, and we shall be glad to welcome all others who, though not at present members of the organization, are in sympathy with its purposes. Those who live at a distance in a good many cases save money by taking advantage of Toledo on August 31st to September 5th, account G. A. R. convention. Of course, for most Ohioans this would be no saving, because of the roundabout trip they would have to take. The conference should be a most interesting one because of the controversies arising out of the presidential election. This is indeed a year for us, and I hope that light may be thrown on many puzzling questions. Thanking you in advance for whatever you may be able to do for us, I remain. Yours very truly. C. G.

The Brownsville "Affray" Illustrated COLORED SMORES MIDNIGHT ASSASSINES THE SQUARE DEAL DOOR OF HOOP Courtesy of the Montgomery Colored Alabamian TAFT DRAGS THE SOLDIERS BY THE NECK TO ROOSEVELT WHO KICKS THEM IN! THE CRISIS IS REACHED! WHAT A VOTE FOR TAFT MEANS TO THE AFRO-AMERICAN Rev. J. Milton Waldron of Washington, D. C., Discusses Pertinently the Situation From the Race's Viewpoint—Our Duty—Other Facts. Washington, D. C.—The following letter was recently sent to Afro-Americans, generally, by Rev. J. M. Waldron, president of the National Negro-American Political league: "We are at a crisis in the history of our race. For 40 years we have been voting solidly the Republican ticket. In return for this support the party has given offices to a few members of the race here and there, but we every year have voted for our rights we have been told that the general government can do nothing and we must look to the states in which we live for protection and the right to vote. With the Republican party in control of the presidency and both branches of congress and the supreme court, disfranchise and southern constitutions have been permitted. Jim-Crow" car laws have been enacted, the race has been excluded from the ballot-box in almost every southern state, the colored militia companies in the south have been disbanded, 10,000 Negroes—most of them innocent—have been lynched and killed, and the police have held in peonage—and to make bad matters worse, a Republican president dismissed from the army without trial 167 brave and loyal Negro soldiers in order to appease the wrath of certain Negro-haters, and by direction of this same Republican president of Whitelist was in charge of a Republican in Chicago and the loyal colored Republicans were given to understand that Mr. Roosevelt intends to eliminate the Negro from politics in the south, and the man whose life was saved at San Juan Hill by the brave soldiers and who was elected by the colored speeches went out of his way in several revolts. In state paper to rand our race as criminal and vicious. "More than two-thirds of the delegates to the Chicago convention were office-holders under Mr. Roosevelt and were his willing tools in non-innagting Mr. William H. Taft. In return for this support, Mr. Taft pledged to support Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Roosevelt, and William H. Taft has repeatedly stated in public that he favors the disfranchisement of the Negro. To vote for Mr. Taft in the coming election is to cast a vote in favor of the elimination of the race from politics and make possible the disfranchisement of our people in the north and west and to set the seal of our brave soldiers, and finally, to say to the world that we are invenable of resenting an insult. "In six or eight northern and western states the Negroes have sufficient power—if they vote as a unit—to defeat the Republican party next November and in this way convince the party and unless it treats us with witness and insures to us the enjoyment of all the rights and privileges guaranteed under the constitution. Every race except ours has used its notes to improve its condition. We have not only sorted the Republican party, notwithstanding the fact that it has deserted us at every point." Rev. Dr. Corrothers on Taft. You will please allow me space to contradict a statement that I, in connection with others, had decided to enter into no further opposition to the candidacy of Secretary Tatt. Iire to state that unless there is something more tangible and constitute of the rights of the Negro offended by Mr. Tatt and his advisers I ope to oppose him with all the means that possess, the Negro may be rebelled against Tatt's victory, as the article stated, but to me it has been a mat- ter of sorrow and regret. How any Negro can rejoice over the victory of Taft and Roosevelt while Roosevelt's unreasonable, un-American and unparalleled injustice against the Negro soldiers, all of which was indolored by Taft, stands unaltered, a mystery to me and when you add to this the special attention to his special attention to the criminality of the Negro, together with the "Lily White" movement in the south, which resulted in the elimination of the colored man from the councils of the Republican party, it is unthinkable that any Negro with one spark of race pride in his heart, and with one manhood could be happy, President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft have participated in the most destructive blow ever made against the liberties of the twelve million colored citizens of this country. Time will vindicate this assertion. There is only one hope for the American Negro, and that is to erase his strength and deference to so doing, we will compel a reorganization and the Negro will come to his proper place. Fraternally yours, S. CORPOTHERS. A BISHOP FLAYS TAFT! Calls Upon Our People to Rebuke the Republican Party and Says Republicans Have Broken Faith—The Truth. New York City.—Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Afro-American Council, who lives in this city, has come out strongly against Mr. Taft. In an interview Tuesday he declared it is time that there be a division of the negro vote in this city. He said he would take any stock in the promises of high Republican officials, he says. Speaking of his present stand as an anti-Taft man Bishop Walters says: "The Republican party, through its president, Theodore Roosevelt, and its candidate for the presidency, Willy Wilson, the National convention recently held in Chicago dressed the illy white movement of the south, which has for its ultimate object, just as surely as the Democratic party, the elimination of the Negro from politics in that section. The Greensboro and Lexington speeches of Mr. Taft gave evidences of this. The Negro seating of the illy white delegates at Chicago by President Roosevelt. "It is stated that the Democratic party does not ask or want our support. The platform at Denver does not read that way. If its invitation to all and to each citizen does not include the Negro, then I fail to understand the English language. "If we are to help our brethren in the south this seems a good chance to do it; because to the book people of the South need and look for stantial help and real advantage. The whites cannot prosper if the blacks languish. We are, whites and blacks, in the same boat, and we must sit fair and row together. "Wherever we have helped the Democratic party it has treated us with consideration. Especially is this true of New York and Philadelphia. The time is at hand when we are going to liberate the people of politicized South. There is nothing for us to do but 'remember Brownsville'; divide our vote and defeat Mr. Taft by helping to elect Bryan." Special Offer to Agents.

CALLS ON OHIO AFRO-AMERI CANS TO HELP SAVE THE STATE FROM DIS- GRACE. Roosevelt and His "Man," Taft, Seek the Defeat of Senator Foraker— Use the "Dirty" Club in His and the Race's Interests —A Strong Letter. Bonneville, Ore., Aug. 11, 1908. Editor The Gazette—Dear Sir: I am glad to see you fight Tail. It is the only manly course for the loyal Afro-American. I believe he will be defeated and I hope dear old Ohio will not disgrace herself by bowing to Mr. Roosevelt's orders and supporting his APPOINTEE, even if he is one of her sons. I suppose you have noticed that our Portland paper is fighting him also, and even advises its readers to vote for Bryan. The Democratic party is a dirty club, but we can beat Taft with it and force a reorganization of the Republican party, and it will be many a year before they be they cruse again. If Foaker is superseded, it by Foaker and he can rest a while and be an position to lead the united Republican party to victory in the next presidential election. "Foraker, the Flag and Freedom!" Wouldn't it be a great rallying cry? KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT! If you can, make your vote count two, for Bryan. Let's defeat Roosevelt for him only that the will never have another life. No insult is too great for him to heap on our race or its great champion. BE MEN! Strike a blow in return, that will be felt and long remembered. Yours for justice. MRS. PATRICIA BOBISON. LYNCH-MURDER! Nothing but "Home-bred" Anarchy Some Timely Comment on the American "Shame," by a White Friend. Chicago, Ill.—The nasty affair at Russellville, Ky., prompts a few remarks upon the home-bred anarchy called lynching of even lynch-LAW! A large part of the German press has followed the virtuous and-wise example of the Chicago Abend-Post, in the DER, thus showing the affair up in its true nature! A civilized country is governed by law, not by mob rule, and no excuses, extinctions or sophistry will change the truth of this definition a whit. Nobody holding to this view is thereby in the least exasperated by the murder or other crime, that is usually alleged only to have "infuriated" the mob, to use a stale adjective of the Associated Press, or the head-lineman of the sensational newspapers. As to the affair at Russellville; those of the matter, should not be excused by the flaming headlines, but should wait to hear the evicted murderer in what he may have to say. Those of us who are read in history know that countries which are still governing according to the lordy" rule of the matter, should not be excused to excite such crimes. It will be hard to remember the history of Irish Landlordism in all such affairs also.

C., from the Chicago convention some weeks ago? Mesdames Mitchell and Freeman, Messrs. Hackley and Thompson are the special guests at St. Louis' Sunday evening. Rev. Harry O. Bowles will preach at 10:30 a. m. Mrs. James A. Rogers arrived the first of the week from Washington, D. C., and her husband, the undertaker, is supremely happy, as Mrs. Rogers is a splendid helpmate in every way. She is an invaluable aid in his business as well as in his home. And Mrs. John Nooks entertained at cards last week Wednesday day evening in honor of Mrs. J. Craig of Xenia. Mrs. William Parker gave a reception last week Friday afternoon in honor of Mrs. Craig. One hundred invitations were sent out Mrs. Frank Scott and Miss Helene Brooks assisted in receiving. After Mrs. Claire pleased Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Craig for her home Sunday morning, taking with her little Theresa Parker. We are loth to believe that there is a fairminded citizen in the United States, who will now contend that President Theodore Roosevelt would have treated white men under similar circumstances and like conditions in the Negro members of Companies B. C and D of the Twenty-fifth Infantry in view of his attitude towards the eight white cadets of the United States Military academy at West Point.—Richmond Planet. When the Negro "business men" committee on "cleaning up" Central avenue called on Chief of Police Kohler several weeks ago, he said he was "as soon as the chief saw him with Rev. Bagnall and "Noomdy" Brasher, and Gussie began to talk. Geo. W. Johnson says Gussie told him that Kohler told him (Eubanks) to step aside; that he (Kohler) didn't want to hear from him (Eubanks), and that he (Kohler) wouldn't believe anything he (Gussie) told Kohanks as a member of the committee was certainly a "boomin" joke. The real reason for refusing to run on Langford is not his color. Langford's punch is the obstacle. No white lightweight in years has avoided a fight with Joe Gans. In fact every one of them has maneuvered to get a chance with him. He hasn't been barred since he became such a card that he could draw more money than any other man of his height in the world. Langford has been boxing heavyweights because every white lightweight in the country has been buffalored by his punch. Most of the eastern middleweights admit that the Boston Negro would stop them in a few rounds.—Ex. Wouldn't this jar you? A committee representing the union, which has a few Afro-American members, organized by street car employees of the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1908. Threefer after the strike, called on President du Pont Monday and asked that only white men be employed as motormen and conductors. Recently several of our men were placed on the extra list and several given regular runs on Cedar avenue. Du Pont said he would not draw the color line refused to discharge any employees because they were colored. Rah! for Mr. du Pont. He certainly answered the prejudiced scullions, every one of whom ought to he "fired" just as soon as it is convenient to do so. Such "cattle" should be kicked back south where the better element of this community. Get rid of them quickly, Mr. du Pont, or they'll make you trouble sooner or later. They don't care a whit for "party principles," for there are none. All they care for is to use the names to make money. The Negroes are the only ones who take on political principles. The only principle and which they unite in politics is to "keep the Negro in his place." True, there are some good men in both parties, who believe that human rights are supreme to all other rights and in that they are right. But the Negroes seem to believe that the democratic means devil Was Grower Cleveland and aocratic devil? Is Tom Johnson one and Tom Taggart another? Do you know that the chairman of the national Democratic committee, who lives in Buffalo and owns a great newspaper, has a Negro as chief editor? It is true, and we could go on together as brothers. The Maryland Academy of Science honors a Negro as the greatest man of science it has and considers and accepts it as insulting to call him "tigger." Only a few weeks ago a Bala Cynthia student was successful Negro is an employee had for its employees a magnificent reception, to which not only did the Negro go, but took one of the white lady clerks, so fond were they of him, and they all ate and participated together as brothers beloved.

MOB-RULE IS ANARCHY! Chicago, Ill.—No mob-law to be tolerated: I am glad you printed my communication on "lynch-murder"; it comes opportune at the time. It requires courage to insist on the legal punishment of crime by the lawful method in a country in which mob-rule is common. It should role as to almost justify the bitter sneer of foreign critics that U. S. A. means "United States—Anarchy"? Any one really loving his country and wishing the republican form of government to prevail must deplore, denounce and combat lynching and mob violence. If the states in which such riots occur, it cannot supply them, it becomes the primary authority of the national government to take the matter in hand. This must be a civilized state (government) or it becomes an anarchic chaos! Legal Notice. L. E.

THE WOMEN'S HAIR CARE When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

Should a list of the ingredients of Peruna be submitted to any medical expert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that the medicinal herbs composing Peruna are of two kinds. First, standard and well-tried catarrh remedies. Second, well-known and generally acknowledged tonic remedies. That in one or the other of these uses they have stood the test of many years' experience by physicians of different schools. There can be no dispute about this, whatever. Peruna is composed of some of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrhal discases, and for such conditions of the human system as require a tonic. Each one of the principal ingredients of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh or as a tonic medicine. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. No other household remedy so universally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics. FATIGUED EXPRESSION.

SELE DELUSION We like to defend our indulgencies and habits even though we may be convinced of their actual harmfulness. A man can convince himself that whisky is good for him on a cold morning, or beer on a hot summer day—when he wants the whisky or beer. It's the same with coffee. Thousands of people suffer headaches and nervousness year after year but try to persuade themselves the cause is not coffee—because they like coffee. "While yet a child I commenced using coffee and continued it," writes a Wis. man, "until I was a regular coffee fiend. I drank it every morning and in consequence had a blinding headache nearly every afternoon. "My folks thought it was coffee that alled me, but I liked it and would not admit it was the cause of my trouble, so I stuck to coffee and the headaches stuck to me. "Finally, the folks stopped buying coffee and brought home some Postum. They made it right (directions on pkg.) and told me to see what difference it would make with my head, and during the first week on Postum my old affliction did not bother me once. From that day to this we have used nothing but Postum in place of coffee—headaches are a thing of the past and the whole family is in fine health."

BRIEF NEV'S NOTES FOR THE BUSY MAN MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK TOLD IN CONDENSED FORM. ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD Complete Review of Happenings of Greatest Interest from All Parts of the Globe—Latest Home and Foreign Items. BACE BIOT NOTES Springfield, Ill., was completely in the control of a mob for several hours, the police, sheriff's force and troop D of the First cavalry, and the members of Gatling gun section of the Illinois National Guard being unable to do anything to control the mob, which was rendered furious by the removal from the city of George Richardson, a negro who assaulted a white woman. As the result of the mob's actions one man is dead, another will-probably die and several others were injured, while Loper's restaurant was wrecked, the shanties of a number of negroes residing in the "bad lands" burned, and Gov. Deneen called a number of companies of the Illinois National Guard to Springfield to preserve order. Among the injured was R. W. Chafin, candidate for president of the United States on the Prohibition party ticket, who was struck in the head with a brick. To the death list of the Springs field, Ill., race war were added the names of William Donnigan, colored, killed by the mob, and Frank Delmore, shot. With the arrival of the Second and Seventh Infantry regiments, I. N. G., and two squadrons of the First cavalry, all from Chicago, the entire National Guard of Illinois, with the exception of the Sixth infantry and the Eighth infantry (colored) was on duty in the riot-ridden districts. In all 4,200 guardsmen were in the city. The troopers suppressed several small outbreaks. Private J. B. Klein of the First regiment, who killed a man at Kankakee while guarding the ammunition car, was exonerated by a court of inquest. One more death, that of J. W. Scott, was added to the fatality list of the Springfield (III.) riots. National Guard patrols were fired on twice from ambush, but no one was hit. Gov. Deneen issued proclamations offering rewards for the arrest of the murderers and urging all citizens who had information about the rioting to present it to the grand jury. Gov. Deneen ordered the First and Fourth regiments to return home from Springfield, Ill., believing the remaining troops enough to maintain order. Business men in a mass meeting pledged themselves to assist in the enforcement of law and justice and demanded protection for all citizens, whether white or black. At Huntington, L. I., a negro who attacked a white woman was put under heavy guard in the local lockup, after having been rescued by deputies from a crowd of angry citizens. PERSONAL Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans celebrated his sixty-second birthday and went on the retired list. At Lake Monkon, N. Y., he received numerous calls and telegraphs of congratulation, and was given a big reception and loving cup. Edward Cotteringham, treasurer of the Union Traction company of Lipton, Ind., accused of embezzling $5,000, was arrested in Ottawa, Ont. Alfred T. Wimberly, Kentucky manager of the Bankers' Life association of Des Molines, la., and a well-known insurance man, committed suicide in Louisville, leaving a note saying he was tired of life. At Utica, N. Y., Representative James S. Sherman was formally notified of his nomination for the vicepresidency at the Chicago convention last June. The notification was made the occasion of a general holiday and the residents of the city, irrespective of party, took part in the tribute to a fellow townman. Omer K.

Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Fgs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading drugists. "Ladies First." In this age of leveling up and leveling down, and of attempting to place women on the same plane as men in everything, clairvity is nearly a dead letter. Many wish it were altogether so, regarding it as a bar to the full emancipation of women. There can be no traffic here with such wrong-headed and wrong heart notions. In the healthy atmosphere of sport such notions wither and fade like exotics in an allied soil. "Ladies first!" is an abiding principle with all who are sportsmen.—Frye's Magazine.

A new industry in the form of an ice and ice cream manufactory has been started in Monrovia under the propriorship of one of the attaches to the Liberian commission. The machine is of American manufacture, from the New Brunswick Retrigerator company, and has a capacity of one ton. It turns out 500 pounds of ice and ten gallons of ice cream daily. It is principally an ice cream machine, but ice is such a rarity that the projector decided to experiment in its manufacture. This is the first effort of its kind in Liberia, and the demand for ice, especially for fever-streaked subjects, influenced the experiment. The manager declares that the result has been encouraging and will lead to the ultimate enlargement of the plant, with a cold storage attached. This enterprise has filled a long-held need in Monrovia, especially among the invalids of foreign birth. The price of ice at present is four cents per pound and the price of ice cream per gallon is $240. Under the circumstances, this luxury is such a treat in this tropical region that nobody ever stops to consider the price. What is Castoria.

Albert was a solemn-eyed, spiritual-looking child. "Nurse," he said one day, leaving his blocks and laying his hand gently on her knee, "nurse, is this God's day?" "No, dear," said his nurse, "this is "No, dear," said his nurse, "this is not Sunday. It is Thursday." "I'm so sorry," he said, sadly, and went back to his blocks. The next day and the next, in his serious manner he asked the same question, and the nurse tearfully said to the cook, "That child is too good for this world." On Sunday the question was repeated and the nurse with a sob in her voice, said, "Yes, Lamble. This is God's day." "Then where is the funny paper?" he demanded—Success. BABY CRIED AND SCRATCHED All the Time—Covered with Torturing Eczema—Doctor Said Sorres Would Last for Years—Perfect Cure by Cuticura. "My baby niece was suffering from that terrible torture, eczema. It was all over her body but the worst was on her face and hands. She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. I had her under the doctor's care for a year and a half and he seemed to do her no good. I took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if I had depended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid. But I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and she was cured in three months. Alice L.
