When going on a clover-gathering expedition the morning may be taken for cutting down the stalks and laying them together in a pile. Then after lunch the stalks can be stripped, dropping the leaves and flowers into the receptacles previously made ready for them. After the clover is gathered it is dried thoroughly by spreading it out thinly over newspapers, and putting it in the sun, but care must be taken that it is not in the wind where it might be blown away. Several days are required for the drying and the leaves will break to powder when all the juice is sapped out. When the leaves and bloom are ready for cases, any material that is desired may be chosen for making sachet holders. It must be thin, of course, and no cotton is put in for padding. The bag does not need to be entirely filled, for a thin layer spread over the surface when the case is laid down flat is quite sufficient. Cases may be made just the size of bureau drawers, and small ones are nice, too, for slipping into trunks. Among house linen the sweet clover cases are delicious. OF THE LATEST STYLE. THE LILY The most conspicuous of the late millinery models, because the most attractive, are the draped and frilled bonnets of net, tulle or lace, recalling vaguely the much-abused bebe hat of other years and built up on much the same lines as the Charlotte Corday. The new shapes are very high of crown, too. The brims vary in width, but in all cases droop sharply, and since the bonnets sit low upon the head, as do all the hats of the season, the plaited frills of these brims fall softly around the face and over the low chignon at the back. They seem to belong by right to pretty face, or at least to pliant faces; but where they are becoming they are as delectable as anything ever devised for wear with sheer summer frocks. The above illustration gives an idea of the models THE GAZETTE Looking a Little Ahead for the Decrees of Fashion. The prevalence of glossy-faced materials, with satins in the lead for elaborate occasions and satin-faced wools for day-time use, is assured for fall wear. It is evident that very supple but firm weaves, such as the broadcloths, Venetian cloths, prunellas and serges, are to be in great request. The vogue for separate coats will have a salutary Influence on the velvets for winter, and it is said that enormous orders for velvets are putting the velvet manufacturers through their paces. From some samples which represented a part of a buyer's output for the coming season it is prophesied that checks, plaids and stripes will be in great demand. This style is being fostered by the vogue of plain skirts and plaid, striped or checked skirts or the reverse. With the sheath skirt, which is likely to be modified, one may rest assured that the tight-fitting French coats with scanty peplums will come in out velvet for cloth skirts as soon as the weather permits. Whatever the weave in silk or woo!, there is one quality which is common to all—suppleness and a tendency to close texture. This bodes well for the permanence of the tight skirt, since a firm material is needed to keep it in shape. That the petticoat will continue to feel the change of style is certain, but that it will be actually banished is improbable. Sleeves to Be Longer The vexed question as to the correct sleeve length has been answered at last with no uncertain voice. Sleeves are to be long, so long that not only are the elbows covered and reach the wrists, but the point must fall over the knuckles, and in some instances there are actually concealed thumb holes in the cuffs, through which the thumbs may be passed in order that they may help to keep the sleeve down to their fullest extent. This particular vogue adds not a little to the studious suppression of all efforts after display that characterizes the modes of the season. Yet, curiously enough, the exceedingly quiet aim that is sought for in the smartest of smart toilers is not achieved at the cost of any loss of elaborate detail. On the contrary, it is because each item of the sartorial scheme is mosaic-like in its precision that the whole effect is so subdued. Summer Weddings In Rural New York. Summer time weddings in the truly rural sections of New York city offer many amusing contrasts. An usher at a wedding on Staten Island recently startled the assembling guests by arriving none too early in an automobile which he drove himself. There is nothing odd these days in going to a wedding in an auto, but to see a man in rock coat, high hat and light gray gloves driving a touring car at good speed over dusty roads is unusual, even for Staten Island.

WANTS JUSTICE DONE TO NEGRO WANTS JUSTICE DONE TO NEGRO THE NOTED EDUCATOR CALLS ATTENTION TO HOW MOBS ARE THREATENING CIVILIZATION. 25 LYNCHED IN SIXTY DAYS Mob Law Terrifies the Innocent and Emboldens the Vicious—No Sympathy with Crime—Lynchings Are Murders. Baltimore, Md.—Within the past 60 days 25 Negroes have been lynched in different parts of the United States. Of this number only four were even charged with criminal assault upon women. Nine were lynched in one day on the charge of being connected with murder. Four were lynched in one day on the charge that they passed resolutions in a lodge approving the murder of an individual. Three were lynched in one day on the charge that they had taken part in the burning of a gin house. The others were lynched for miscellaneous reasons. ROOKER E. WASHINGTON BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. One was publicly burned in open daylight in the presence of women and children, after oil had been poured upon his body, at Greenville Tex., and reports state that a thou sand people witnessed the spectacle in the open square of the town. One other victim was 80 years of age How long can our Christian civilization stand this? I am making no special plea for the Negro, innocent to the danger I am calling attention to the danger that threatens our civilization. Condemns Negro Loafers. For the Negro criminal, and especially for the Negro loafer, gambler and drunkard, I have nothing but the severest condemnation, and no legal punishment is too severe for the brute that assaults a woman. It requires no courage for 500 men to tie the hands of an individual to the stake of a lynchman. Young men and boys who have once witnessed or who have read in the papers of these exciting scenes of burnings and lynchings often get the idea that there is something heroic in attacking some individual in the community who is least able to resist the lynchman, who engage in lynchings, and excuse then, believe that they will have the effect of striking terror to the guilty. But who shall say whether the persons lynchmed are guilty? There is no way of distinguishing the innocent from the guilty except by due process of law. Those who have examined into the facts know only too well that in the wild justice of the mob it is frequently the innocent man who is executed. Terrify the Innocent. These lynchings terrify the innocent, but they embolden the criminal. The criminal knows it is much easier to escape the mad fury of the mob than the deliberate vengeance of the law. But no man is so innocent that he can be safe at all times from the frenzy of the mob. Statistics show that during the past 10 years an average of 32 Negroes a year have been lynched on the charge of assaulting women. Granting that 32 per year are guilty, is that a just reason for condemning over 3,000,000 adult Negro men who have no part in such crimes? Are we as a nation to raise a year out of a rate of 10,000,000 us into a frenzy and change the complexion of our civilization so that we are held up to foreign nations as an uncivilized people not governed by law or order? Again I would say I am not making any special plea for the Negro, but because I feel that lynching is not only wrong, but a mistake—an awful mistake. Effect of Mob Justice. Mob justice undermines the very foundation upon which our civilization rests, viz., respect for the law and confidence of its security. There are, in my opinion, two remedies—First of all, let us unite in a determined effort everywhere to see that the law is enforced, that all people at all times and all places see that the man charged with crime is given a fair trial. Secondly, let all good citizens unite in an effort to rid the communities, especially the large cities, of the idle, vicious and gambleous behavior. Thirdly, if the intention I would not be just and would not be frank unless I stated that the betters of the black race could use their influence, especially in the cities, to see that the idle element that lives by its wits without perma- nent or reliable occupation or place of abode is either reformed or gotten rid. In some manner. In most cases it is this element that furnishes the powder for these explosions. BOOKER W. WASHINGTON VOTE FOR CHARLES W. SMIDER. Hon. Charles W. Snider, candidate for county prosecutor, was born in this city 49 years ago and has been an attorney for 18 years. He was a member of the Seventy-second general assembly of Ohio and one of the most active supporters of this state's splendid mob violence act or antilynching law, delivering a strong speech in its favor. He also opposed the 50-year franchise bill and supported every labor measure before that body. Mr. Snider also supported the nomination of workshops and factories. He was for seven years first assistant county prosecutor and handled all classes of cases, is thoroughly qualified for the place and deserves the nomination for excellent work done, both for the Republican party and the people at large. Mr. Snider is one of the friends of the race that lasts the year round and for life, and not one who would be he is friendly when seeking office. The Gazette wants its readers to vote for Mr. Snider because he is entitled to our votes FOR GOOD WORK DONE FOR THE RACE. "THE BLACK VIPER" GONE! Manager Salisbury "Shelves" It Promptly — Secretary Gongwer and Sheriff McGorray. In The Gazette of last week we told of the existence of a picture and representation at Luna park of a black man choking a white woman, and also gave Mrs. Harriet K. Price's letter calling our attention to the hurtful thing. The following letters are self-explanatory and show the good work accomplished promptly by all interested: EXECUTIVE OFFICE Cleveland, Aug. 18, 1908. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor The Gazette.—Dear Sir: As you request, I have written Mr. Salsbury, although I have not been told to say that I haven't seen the feature complained of. Very tru y yours. Aug. 20, 1908. My Dear Mr. Smith: The enclosed letter from Mr. Salsbury is self-ex- planatory. Very truly yours. LUNA PARK. Cleveland, Aug. 19, 1908. Mr. W. B. Gongwer, Sec. Mayor's Office, City—My Dear Burr: "The Black Viper" is a moving picture film illustrating the doings of some Italian society. It has no connection with the colored race. I had already received a complaint from a colored woman who had been beheaded of the OFFENSE I had the film exchanged. Thanking you for your interest, I am. Yours very truly. FL WOOD SAIRBURY Cleveland. Aug. 21. 1908. Cleveland, Aug. 21, 1908. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette.—Dear Sir: Replying to yours of the 17th inst., beg to advise that immediately upon its receipt, I sent a man out to Luna park to investigate the matter spoken of in Mrs. Harriet K. Price's letter to you under date of the 21st inst., and I found there was no such show out there, but that the week previous something of that sort was shown with moving pictures. A picture of a black man choking a white woman may "illustrate the doings of some Italian society" but we object just the same, and on the grounds stated in our last issue, to such illustrations in America, with its entirely too frequent lynch-murders too often occurring, the illustrations may be all right in Italy, but they certainly are of place and harmful in this country. ```markdown ``` Burton Against Foraker! Congressman Burton will not be opposed in his senatorial aspirations by ex-Gov. Myron T. Herrick. The statement comes direct from the governor that he not a candidate for United States senator to succeed Senator Foraker; that Burton was the only candidate from Cuyahoga county; that Herrick's name must not be used to embarrass or defeat Burton in any way; that, Burton being the candidate against Foraker, in no need for candidates for the legislature to be chosen because of personal allegiance to Burton, but they should be men of ability and good standing. ```markdown ``` WALTER D. MEALS, ESQ. One of the best known active Republicans in the city and county is Mr. Walter D. Meals, an attorney of 16 years' experience at the bar. He is a graduate of the law department of the University of Michigan and is generally regarded as one of the ablest lawyers in the city, frequently being called abroad to try important cases. His wide legal experience and participation in the trial of all classes of cases in both state and federal courts quality him for the position of common pleas court judge, a Republican nomination for which he is a candidate at this time, and, too, with splendid prospects for success. Mr. Meals is a broad-gauged man who rises above petty prejudices of the all-around crowd of the friends of the race who does all in his power all the time to show in a practical way his friendship, and says nothing about it. That is why The Grotto is saying it for him willingly, and too, with his knowledge until he reads this, VOTE FOR HIM! LETTERS FROM MANY OHIO CITIES AND TOWNS SENT BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.

When seen by our reporter she had her face and hand literally covered with cold cream to remove sun burn; in making hands with him her hand she touched his face. She has a beautiful Mexican complexion now.-Chicago Defender. IN UNION THE EXPENDITURE EDITOR WILKINS DEAD. III for More Than Two Years—An Aggressive Race Leader. O sob with me for end, A great man has died. In life, we could depend, As nothing he shied. But to home he's been called, Yet his mark left behind. He has gone to his Maker, To bask in sunshine. A fitting reward for one so great. And may we all deserve such fate. R. F. SPRIGGS. With the death of Rev. Dr. D. R. Wilkins, former editor of the Chicago Conservator, the colored press more than anyone else feels the loss, as he fought for their patronage continually from the business men in the neighborhood and would go personally to them and demand their support. He fought hard for the rights of his race and believed in giving up one lota that tended to make manhood in his race. He like most men of his great mind, could not see points of favor with Dr. Booker T. Washington, and thinking that he was wrong in his doctrine, never let up in opening broadside after broadside into him. Be that as if may. Rev. Wilkins was a great race man, and believed in every kind tended to uplift them; he spared neither time nor money in their behalf. He died in Dunning on Wednesday morning at 8 a.m. He lost his mind about two years ago, when he was most active fighting for the rights of his people. His body will be in charge of Undersecretary E. Jackson, and when he was sent to work on Saturday, from Bethel church. The press will be well represented—Chicago Defender. WHY MR. EDEN WAS KILLED! He Tried to Protect His Wife—He Was Wealthy and a Good Citizen in Every Way—Other Lynch-Murders. We appeal to some of our able writers to warn our people to stay away from Mississippi. Hundreds of Negroes declare that after this year they are going to leave Mississippi. Will some one notify the people where they are determined because we are determined to leave the people and will go anywhere, save Louisiana. It is reported that the law in Quintown county now is, if a white man kills a Negro all he has to do is to just leave the town where the killing was done and that settles it. We have been here working for the white people all our lives but this thing of our own own wives we can't and won't stand. We have told it these many years, not because we were cowards, but because we wanted peace. We are not afraid of man nor death. We have men by the hundreds who are shooting because they were born to die. Still Another Marries a White Man. Washington, D. C., Mr. Frank Ross, an Italian, and Miss Beulah Coates were married recently by Rev. Aquilina Sayles. This is the fourth intermarriage of the kind performed by Minister Sayles in the past few months. Mr. Ross has lived in this country for 15 years and is a third worker. Question 13 asks why he married her, he said he loved her and did not think it was anybody's business whom he chose for a wife. There is fear among the white "waters" that Washington is becoming a Getta Green for mixed marriages. 2 One Year. 81.50 Six Months. 1.00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- office money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1898. 1898 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. 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. Rah! for Foraker! Did you notice that The Gazette entered its twenty-sixth year on August 1? Those Springfield, Ill., riots were costly from every viewpoint. It is well that it is so. Let our loyal people, especially those of Ohio, rally to the support of Wilberforce university. Remember Bishop Payne! So busy were we that The Gazette entered its TWENTY-SIXTH year on August 1 without that very important fact being noticed. Wonder if those New Orleans prejudiced (spelling bee) whites realize how supremely silly and ridiculous they appear to all intelligent people? Taft's stereotyped and almost meaningless comment on the Springfield, Ill., lynch-murders does not displease the south. He was careful as to this, as usual. --- So Burton is Cuyahoga county's only candidate for United States senator against Senator Foraker! Well, we told you so last fall but some willfully ignorant and disloyal Negroes would not believe us. How now? If "Babe" Richey lives, he should receive a Carnegie hero medal. The lad has certainly earned it and at a great loss, even if he recovers, and that is extremely doubtful at this writing. Yes, "Mr. Chafin will do." Vote for him or Debs, if you cannot "stomach" Taft and Bryan; and, for the life of us, we cannot see how any intelligent, honorable and loyal Afro-American can. A conservative estimate places the number of Afro-American women who have married white men here in the north this year at 100. What's to become of our bachelors and single young men, at this rate? Mrs. Pearl Seales, according to our contemporary, the Chicago Defender, skinned something else (her face) be side "the cat." "Twas ever thus, when trying to live over again, even for a few minutes, the childhood days. Rev. D. R. Wilkins, as editor of the Chicago Conservator, was an active, intelligent, aggressive and potent factor for race uplift. He will be, as he has been for quite two years past, sadly missed. That is certainly a terrible recital of FACTS in our Belen, Miss., letter elsewhere in this paper, and yet nothing new or out of the ordinary for most portions of the south outside of its larger cities and towns. Pay some attention to the appeal the letter contains and HELP! Taft's nomination makes the south, especially, and all sections of the country in general, feel free to lynch-murder Afro-Americans at their pleasure. This is one result of his favor of distranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars in the south, and Roosevelt's outrageous policy in the Brownsville matter. Some one in authority ought to figure up the cost to its members of the National Negro Business league's "good time" annual meet at Baltimore, recently. Many of those who incurred the unnecessary and wasteful expense to attend the "conference" will need the money this winter, if indeed they do not now. --- Another cosmopolitan dinner, and John Temple Graves "of Georgah, sah," now editor of the New York Journal, will jump into a "social equality" fit and into New York harbor, followed, we hope, by Tillman, Vardaman and their ilk. By all means, let's have the second cosmopolitan dinner, and soon, too. The Rev. L. J. King (white) evangelist, refused to apologize for his public "social equality" utterances and then proceeded to " rub it into" the poor prejudiced fools of Macon, Mo. More power to him and his kind. It is really ridiculous for people to tell "social equality" at Afro-Americans far and away their superiors in every way. Loyal Afro-Americans—those loyal to the race, themselves and Senator Foraker—cannot vote for Republican candidates for the assembly (legislature) this fall without helping to vote Senator Foraker out of the United States senate, where he is the only friend of the race who will speak and fight for us. This is now perfectly clear to all. Twenty-six white brutes, "soldiers," in chains, near Laramie, Wyoming, for assault upon one woman (white) and no lynching! Nearly 70 per cent of all the Afro-Americans lynched are not even charged with criminal assault and none are ever tried in court. An average of more than 100 have thus been murdered every year for a quarter of a century. Insignificant or other promotions of Ohio Afro-Americans in the federal service will have absolutely no influence upon the Afro-American voters of this state, this fall. PRINCIPLES and not the welfare of Afro-American office-holding individuals, are at stake this time. It will be well for all the Taft subsidized sheets to remember this fact. Dr. Booker T. Washington's letter on mob violence, more or less of which appeared in many of the daily papers of the country, especially the leading ones in the east, will do good, and he is to be thanked for it. While it may not be quite all we would have it, yet it is doubtless as strong as he, under existing circumstances, dared to make it. We publish it in full on our first page today. Even our women are against Taft. Read what their Northeastern Federation of Clubs has at its recent annual meeting in Norwich, Conn. Mrs. Patricia Robinson of the northwestern part of the country, several weeks ago, told our readers how those of that section feel anent the matter, and we all know the sentiment existing in this, the central part of the United States. The white Republicans of New York, West Virginia, Delaware, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and other northern states are torn asunder with factional strife and fights that bid fair to outlive election day in November. Then there are the "hard times," and the Afro-American, organized labor and Jewish Republican defections—all on account of Taft. "Something is going to drop" this fall. It is large, fat and juicy, and is labeled W. H. Taft. The Jews are persecuted all over the world, nearly, and the Irish in England and Ireland, if not in other parts of the world. They and the Afro-American are "first cousins in trouble" and as races or classes should have a brotherly interest in and feeling for one another, especially here in America. And yet the daily newspapers are continually publishing articles that indicate an opposite condition of things. The latest is the statement that a Russian Jew but a few months removed from the massacres of his native country, and who came to America to escape prejudice, hatred and death, was a leader of the recent Springfield, Ill., mob.

The Bishops and the "Race Question." One of the resolutions passed recently by the Lambeth conference, London, is being generally discussed in this country because it appears to be directed particularly to the church in the United States. This conference of bishops has no ecclesiastical authority over the American church, but its recommendations have moral force and its advice is always listened to attentively. The interest to this country is as follows: "All races and peoples, whatever their language and conditions, must be welded into one body and the organization of different races living side by side into separate or independent churches, to be consistent with the vital and essential principle of the unity of Christ's church."

Norwich, Conn.—The Northeastern Federation of our Women's Clubs, in session here, recently adopted resolutions denouncing their opponents and praising their friends. One of a political character resolved "not to support those men in the coming presidential election who have not the interest of this race at heart," deplored the attitude taken by some of the leading men of the race, called also upon the politicians of Ohio to support Foraker for re-election, and declared that they would not support politically either the Democratic or Republican candidate in the next presidential election, and praying for a party that stands for "principle, righteousness and justice." In another resolution, Judge Cochrane of the Wilmington (Del.) municipal court was denounced for a decision "aiming to rob the race of the proper matrimonial title," and commendation was expressed for the Wilmington court judge who set aside the ruling. The mayor of a Mississippi city was denounced for taking away the rights of who the pressor who led in favor of the Newstate statute who was the prize in the N. E. A. spelling match at Cleveland, O. L. Lynching was deplored, the government censured for not protecting its citizens, and the federation urged not to cease agitation to obtain protection. Refused to Apologize. Macon, Mo.—Because he said some caustic things, touching their contemptible treatment of an Afro-American woman of the Holiness church, evangelist L. J. King (white) was asked to apologize publicly or modify his statements. He refused to do so, and was not permitted to take any further part in the camp meeting. The trouble grew out of the attendance of Mrs. Emma Britt of Omaha, and was not permitted to take a table, King, and when of the white sisters showed a disposition to object to her sitting at a table with them, Mr. King said some things in his address Saturday night which they will not soon forget. When interviewed, the Rev. Mr. King said: "I had known Mrs. Britt a long time and knew her to be a good Christian woman. Up in Canada, where I came from, the colored people sit at the table with the white. I said at the meeting that I had a great religious belief than the whole bunch of me together. They wanted me to apologize, and I told them they ought to have shouted 'Amen' over what I said." And Mr. King is right. Knights Templar Elect.

Dr. Waller in beginning his speech. "It is an organization which has been misrepresented. It has for its purpose the breaking down of barriers between the black and white races and the establishment of a free-masonry of character and culture. Many of the most eminent men in New York were present at the dinner it gave in New York. It was a dinner vastly to the credit of every black and white man and woman present. The guests, instead of objecting have asked me when the next is to be held. I informed them we would have another one in October." Wants to Fight! New Castle, Pa.—"Black Fitzsimons," the Boston colonel middle-weight pupilist who was brought here to train "Tony" Ross, a local heavy-weight, is open to box any middle or lightweight in the middle Atlantic region. He will weigh from 150 to 185 pounds. He will box before any legitimate club that will offer proper inducements. Among the men whom "Fitz" would like to meet are Tony Caponi, Frank Gunther or Tommy Crawley. He will accommodate any of the above. He will with a side bet. Saved Two Girls' Lives Petersburg, Ind—"Babe" Richey, 14, an Afro-American, is dying as the result of his efforts to save two white girls. A horse driven by Albert Kellams (white), who was accompanied by his two young daughters, became frightened and ran away. Kellams was thrown from the buggy. Richey sprang at the horse's bride and held the animal until he got assistance. The girls were captured, but Kellams were cracked in. In places and his left ear was torn from his head. Richey is a "Carnegle hero." WILBERFORCE WILBERFORCE OPENS FIRST TUES Located in Greene County, Xenia, O. Healthful surroundings. members. Expenses low.

New Orleans, LA.—Denounced as "a piece of impertinence" on the part of certain Negroes of this city, "condemned" by President Andrew H. Wilson of the school board, and finally "squelched" by Mayor Behrmann's office to a peremptory and by Inspector of police a manmom, ordered a police of policemen to prevent it, our big spelling bee did not take place Monday night.

According to the press dispatches during the race riots last week in Springfield, Ill., the Hon. Mr. Chafin, Prohibition nominee for president, was struck in the head with a brick. A Negro who was being chased by the wild beasts of the mob took refuge upon the platform in the court house from which Mr. Chafin was speaking. The presidential candidate stopped long enough to announce that the shooter shoots anyone who touched the helmet. No one further misled the Negro, but some mean beast threw a brick and struck Mr. Chafin on the head and painfully wounded him. Hats off for Chafin! He will do—Charlotte (N. C.) Star of Zlon.

A $2,000 "Jim Crow" Car Fine. Baton Rouge, La.-A $2,000 fine has been imposed on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railroad by District Judge Brunot, for failure to provide Afro-American passengers accommodations as good as those furnished other persons. The matter was referred to the commission to sustain its ruling that equal accommodations must be furnished both races. Knocks Down a White Brute! Bristol, Va.—H. H.

THE SQUARE DEAL DOOP OF HOPE Courtesy of the Montgomery Colored Alabamian TAFT DRAGS THE SOLDIERS BY THE NECK TO ROOSEVELT WHO KICKS THEM IN! THE SOUTH'S CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM. 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 leases 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 "whitewash" statements in the southern press (as a rule) as the following: "Dr. John E. White, (white), of Atlanta, is the latest southern 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 and $13.00 a head, but the lesser details them as 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 course of revenue. The increase of lawbreakers, he adds, if regretted to-day, is ignored tomorrow when the dollars come rolling in." The maiming 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-lessees be come, 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." At a general meeting of the Canadian Pacific trainmen at Fort William the men of the operating department voted by a large majority not to strike in sympathy with the mechanical trades unionists. HICKS "SMOKED OUT" AT LAST! Under the date July 11, 1908, Assistant Superintendent Warren E. Hickens 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 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 contour 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, wrigling 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, compiled 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 Marie 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 dorm 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, dingies, black birds," and the Lord only knows what 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 of punishment. Mr. Rushe has played such an important 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, desecrate, and violate. If the states in which such riots occur will not or cannot suppress them, it becomes the imperative duty of the national government to take the matter in hand. This must be a civilized state (government) or it becomes an anarchic chaos. notify us at once if your Gazette fails to arrive as regularly and satisfactorily as it should.

NEGRO SOLDIERS—THEIR RIGHTS "It became my painful duty, sir, to follow in the track of that charging column, and there, in a space not wider than the clerk's desk and 300 yards long, lay the dead bodies of 543 of my colored comrades, fallen in defense of their country, who had offered up their lives in defense of its foes; and as I rode along among them guiding my horse this way and that way lest he should profane with his hoof what seemed to me the sacred dead, and as I looked on their bronzen faces upturned in the shining sun to heaven, as if in mute appeal against the wrongs of the country for which they had given their lives, and whose flag had only been to them a flag of stripes, on which no star of glory has been thrown, and that the flag had wronged them in the past, and believing what was the future of my country to them—among my dead solemn oath, '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 given their blood for me and my soul, and that they forever,' and God helping me, I will keep that oath. "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 under this government, I am with them against all comers." 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 of the one hundred and sixty-seven innocent members of "The Black Batallion"), 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. YES. FORAKER "SALUTES" TAFT "Senator Foraker's reference to Mr. Taft, in his speech before the Cincinnati chamber of commerce July 1, 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. 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.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are be- ing 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.

PINKHAM Nature and a woman's work combined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering. From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their peculiar ills, more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St. Louisiana, Mo., writes: "Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. "For twelve years I had been suffering with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that the remedy is a complete Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice restored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women." What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Muff. Muff, it will do for other suffering women. His Faulty Memory. "Have you got any—any typewriter exterminators?" asked the small boy. "What!" exclaimed the salesgirl, agast. "Typewriter exterminators. I think that's what they told me to get. Anyhow, it was something that—" "Do you mean typewriter erasers?" "Well, maybe that was it, but what's the difference? Ain't they the same? I want a dime's worth of 'em." Your Druggist Will Tell You That Murine Eye Remedy Cures Eyes, Makes Weak Eye Strong.

Burglaries cracked the safe of the post office in Waukegan, Ill., and got away with money and stamps to the value of $3,000. So suspiciously large was the volume of business done on the New York stock exchange on one Saturday that it will be investigated by a special committee of five members.

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT. Buying paint used to be like the proverbial buying of a "pig in a poke." Mixtures in which chalk, ground rock, etc., predominated were marked and sold as "Pure White Lead," the deception not being apparent until the paint and the painting were paid for. This deception is still practiced, but we have learned to expose it easily. National Lead Company, the largest makers of genuine Pure White Lead, realizing the injustice that was being done to both property owners and honest paint manufacturers, set about to make paint buying safe. They first adopted a trade mark, the now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter," and put this trademark, as a guaranty of Practical Fashions LADIES' SHIRT WAIST.

Bartlett of Chicago, accompanied by his wife and his daughter, was automobiling from Karlsbad to Dresden when the car ran over and killed a boy eight years old in the village of Schmiedeberg. The licenses of five of Pittsburg's largest cafes were revoked on charges of selling liquor to minors. An unidentified man killed himself by jumping from the Eads bridge at St Louis. Through the treachery of his tribesmen, Abb-al-azel, sultan of Morocco, was utterly routed by Mulai Hafad, who was proclaimed sultan in Tangier and was accepted as ruler by all the large cities.

J. D. McCreary, aged 65, a coal merchant of Louisville, committed suicide in a boarding house in Lexington, Ky.

Buying paint used to be like the proverbial buying of a "pig in a poke." Mixtures in which chalk, ground rock, etc., predominated were marked and sold as "Pure White Lead," the deception not being apparent until the paint and the painting were paid for. This deception is still practiced, but we have learned to expose it easily. National Lead Company, the largest makers of genuine Pure White Lead, realizing the injustice that was being done to both property owners and honest paint manufacturers, set about to make paint buying safe. They first adopted a trade mark, the now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter," and put this trademark, as a guaranty of purity, on every package of their White Lead. They then set about familiarizing the public with the blow-pipe test by which the purity and genuineness of White Lead may be determined, and furnished a blow-pipe free to every one who would write them for it. This action was in itself a guaranty of the purity of National Lead Company's White Lead. As the result of this open dealing the paint buyer to-day has only himself to blame if he is defrauded.

For my part, I always stick up for him Suffered Torments from Birth—In Frightful Condition—Got No Help Until Cuticura Cured Him. "I had an itching, tormenting eczema ever since I came into the world, and I am now a man 55 years old. I tried all kinds of medicines I heard of, but found no relief. I was truly in a frightful condition. At last I broke out all over with red and white boils, which kept growing until they were as big as walnuts, causing great pain and misery, but I kept from scratching as well as I could. I was so run down that I could hardly do my work. I used Cuticura Soap, Ointment, Resolvent, and Pills for about eight months, and I can truthfully say I am cured. Hale Bordwell, Tipton, Ia. Aug. 17, 1907." "I cheerfully endorse the above testimonial. It is the truth. I know Mr. Bordwell and know the condition he was in. Nelson R. Burnett, Tipton, Ia." HIS OPINION OF FIELDING At Least, Only Kind Young Broker Knew Anything About. A young broker in Boston, while visiting a certain household in the Hub not long ago, encountered a number of young women graduates whose conversation suddenly turned to a discussion of the development of the English novel. The dealer in stocks and bonds speedily found himself "out of it." Presently, during a lull, one young woman asked him: "What you think of Fielding, Mr. Brown?" "Oh, fielding is important, of course," quickly responded the broker, "but it isn't worth much unless you've got good pitchers and men who can hit the ball."-Harper's Weekly. Sporting Offer As he entered the restaurant the cut of his clothes betrayed him as a member of the sporting fraternity. Choosing a corner seat, he ordered oyster stew. When the dish was brought to him, he looked at it with a critical frown, and then he began excitedly to peel off his coat and vest. "What's the matter? What's the matter?" said the landlord, hurrying to the table. The man looked at the stew, then at the landlord, and said: "Bet you a dollar I can swim from one oyster to another. FRIENDLY TIP Restored Hope and Confidence. After several years of indigestion and its attendant evil influence on the mind, it is not very surprising that one finally loses faith in things generally. A N. Y. woman writes an interesting letter. She says: "Three years ago I suffered from an attack of peritonitis which left me in a most miserable condition. For over two years I suffered from nervousness, weak heart, shortness of breath, could not sleep, etc. "My appetite was ravenous, but I felt starved all the time. I had plenty of food but it did not nourish me because of intestinal indigestion. Medical treatment did not seem to help. I got discouraged, stopped medicine and did not care much whether I lived or died. "One day a friend asked me why I didn't try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking coffee, and use Postum. I had lost faith in everything, but to please my friends I began to use both and soon became very fond of them. "It wasn't long before I got some strength, felt a decided change in my system, hope sprang up in my heart and slowly but surely I got better. I could sleep very well, the constant craving for food ceased and I have better health now than before the attack of peritonitis. "My husband and I are still using Grape-Nuts and Postum." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read, "The Road to Wellville," in pikes. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time.

STREET AND NO..... STATE.... Husky Bridegroom Worked Bluff on Occupants of Car. At a village station a husky young man and a robust young woman boarded the train, and they had only taken their seats when his arm fell around her waist and her head fell on his shoulder. The other passengers became interested at once, and a general grin passed around the coach. Some peppermint drops, carried in the young man's vest pocket, and doloed out one by one, had been eaten before he caught on to the smiles. Then he stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is my wife. We were married an hour ago. She is a bride. We married for love. Iain's no picture" and she hain't purty, but that's our business. Your congratulations are now in order." The smiles faded away, and no one moved—no one but the husky husband. He slowly removed his coat, rolled back his sleeves, and continued: "There's 12 men in this here car, and I want every durned one of them to come forward and salute the bride, it's her due, and it's got to be done or you will have to settle with me. Nancy, get ready to be saluted." Nancy rose up with a blush, and those 12 men, one after another, left their seats and came forward, and gave her a brotherly kiss and wished her all happiness. When the circus was over the husband rolled down his sleeves, resumed his seat, and sat down with the remark: "The bride now having been saluted according to custom, will now undergo further hugging, and if any galoot sees anything in it to smile at, he will be informed that my name is Moses Green, and that in a rough-and-tumble I weigh a ton."—Buffalo Express. The government opening of a million acres of fine agricultural and grazing lands will probably occur about Oct. 1st. The Rosebud extension of The Chicago & North Western Ry. is the only railway reaching these lands, and Dallas, S. D., is the railway terminus and the only town on the reservation border. The U.

It was the first time he had been at a city station and when a hotel crer hurried to him with the interrogation: "King Edward" the newcomer simply smiled as he answered: "No sir—thomas Cox of Eramosa."
