TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 6. TWO LATE MODES THE FASHION OF THE NORTHWEST. The gown at the left is of black crepe de chine. The half-empire skirt is trimmed lengthwise with tucked bands of taffeta aq and is moused at the bottom with a wide band of lace re-embroidered with jet paillettes. The corsage and little sleeves are trimmed to correspond, and also with a jet fringe. The tucked guipme and the undersleeves are of white tulle. The other gown is of black chiffon-mouselle. Undulating bands of taffeta and panels of filet guipure trim the skirt. The prettily draped corsage is of the filet guipure trimmed around the neck with the taffeta bands.

Among the cheapest of the good-looking tub jumper frocks are those made of blue and brown galatea. The material sells at a very small price everywhere and washes like a collar. It comes in good tones that do not show soil and comes out of the tub without being faded. Linen makes charming ones, but every woman does not care to afford many linen frocks. The good quality is the only one worth buying, and a frock of it amounts up. When a girl feels she can afford only one, she should get it in rose pink or nile green in order that it may be dressy enough for afternoon wear. This is the ideal costume for church this summer, at home or on a vacation. Cotton duck is another material that is excellent for everyday wear, as a whole season of constant service makes little impression on it. The reason most of these materials were not comfortable before for summer frocks was because of their heat around the neck and arms. TWO SMART LITTLE DRESSES. Both Suitable for Girls from Eight to Ten Years of Age. The first costume pictured is a smart little dress in blue checked zephyr. The skirt is trimmed with a band of plain blue zephyr, the pinafore-bodice being bound with the same, and the shoulders and fronts connected by straps of zephyr fixed under tiny buttons. A blouse of white muslin printed lightly with blue is worn with it. The second is another pretty wash. lig-dress of pink zephyr. The skirt has a shaped piece turned up at the foot and stitched on the outside. The bodice has a small yoke of piece lace set into a shaped yoke and platron of zephyr, the sides being plaited and laid under it. The tight-fitting lower part of sleeve is of piece lace. Materials required for the first dress $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards zephyr 28 inches wide, $3\frac{1}{2}$ yard zephyr for trimming, 2 yards muslin for blouse. The second requires 5 yards zephyr, and $3\frac{1}{2}$ yard piece lace. Chiffon on Summer Frocks. No summer frock is complete without its yard or two of superfluous chiffon. It is a fad presenting such alluring possibilities to the feminine mind that it cannot be ignored. THE GAZETTE Accomplishment Few Women Seem to Have at Command. It is really surprising how few women know how to make a neat hem, although this was considered a necessary accomplishment in the days of our grandmothers. It is used to finish the raw edges of goods and it is most important that it be evenly and neatly turned down; always turn it toward you. To do this, turn down one-quarter of an inch all along the edge and baste it on the crease with even basting stitches. Take a stiff piece of cardboard and mark on it the exact width of the hem. Place the edge of the creased cardboard at the creased edge of the goods and mark the desired width with a thread, using the short and long basting stitch. Fold the hem on this line of thread and baste to the material along the upper edge with an even basting. In hemming do not use a knot. Hold the hem across the end of the forefinger of the left hand. Point the needle toward you, to the right, and insert it under the edge of the hem close to the right hand. Draw the needle through, leaving an end of the thread to be tucked under the edge. To begin the hemming stitch, point the needle toward the middle of the left thumb and take up one thread of the cloth and the same of the fold. To have the thread slant in the right direction, see that each time a stitch is taken that the needle points directly across the middle of the left thumb. To have the hem appear well when finished care must be taken to have the distance between each stitch exactly the same.—Exchange. A. Belting Jumper Embroidered linen belting, in white and color, may be bought by the yard, and a very clever little lady has used it to make herself jumper. A double thickness over each shoulder, from the waist line in the front to the waist line in the back, is the foundation of the garment, while a few strips across the back and front give the whole a very jumper-like appearance. The four loops at the waist line formed by the shoulder straps are used to slip the belt through, so, when it is worn with a white skirt and blouse, the effect is of one of the popular one-piece dresses. It is just such an arrangement that makes it possible to wear a blouse and skirt without a coat. Old Idea Revived. A pretty way of trimming a muslin and lace frock is by heading the deep insertion of lace on the skirt (the band of dentelle so beloved of Paris) with a beading wide enough to admit a soft satin ribbon, some two or three inches in width, this ribbon be threaded through it at intervals of about a foot, tied into pretty bows, but these are not left on a level with the beading. They are pulled through so that the bow hangs down over the lace, the little ends having a ball of floss silk to finish them off, with a bunch of fringe falling from the center of each ball. These loosely hanging bows look very quaint against the lace background.—Queen. Dressy Robes of Marquiset The very dressy robes for afternoon or evening wear are now composed of marquiselet. This is so very fine that it looks like organdie or mousseline from a distance. It comes in all colors, too, and the colors are very dainty and delicate. Of course the marquiselet is flimsy, but everything this season is the same. Drapers declared that goods were to have more body a year or two ago, but heavy goods have not yet made an appearance.

APPEALS FOR UNITED ACTION In the Effort to Help Defeat Taft— The Only Way to Fight—The Causes Are Personal and Party Neglect, Failure, Insuits, Mistreatments, Etc.—"The Grand Old Party." HON. WILLIAM P. CHARD. Of the several candidates for the Republican nomination for county commissioner, there is one that looms up, quite overshadowing all others, because of long, effective and untiring services for the party. For 58 years Mr. Chard has been a resident of Cleveland, and at 16 was a soldier in the war of the rebellion. He was the first Republican elected a councilman in 20 years in the old "rock-tribed" Democratic Fifth ward, and the publican member of the first board of addermen of this city, from a Democratic district. All positions of honor to which no salary was attached. Mr. Chard was for 12 years the Republican committeeman for the Fifth ward, and for four years served as first deputy director of public works. He is, too, the best qualified for the commissionership he seeks, as he is in possession of knowledge of paying, sewing, and stitching, and most a lifetime's experience in the business. He would make the ideal candidate, not only because he is decidedly the most deserving as a result of long and splendid party service, but also because of exceptional fitness, popularity, excellent character and standing in this community where he has lived so long and such splendid purpose from a public spirit viewpoint. We thank "Billy" Chard for his generous gifts of his good friend love to call him. He is one of the practical friends of the race. This we know to be a fact. Fifthtie Wedding Anniversary Philadelphia, Pa.—Surrounded by his family, one member of which came from Europe to be present, Bishop op Benjamin T. Tanner, of the A. M. E. church and his wife celebrated their fifteenth wedding anniversary in the 2018 at 290 Diaond street recently. During the day, messages be present, Bishop Benjamin T. Tanner, of the A. M. E. church and his wife celebrated their fifteenth wedding and anniversary in the home at 2908 Diamond street recently. During the day messages came from noted educators and ministers of both races in various sections of the country where Bishop Tanner has been in charge of districts, congratulating him upon the golden wedding which, by the way, comes simultaneously with the end of his fifteenth year in the ministry. An important member of the family group is Henry O. Tanner, the bishop's son, a painter of world-wide fame, who lives in Paris, France. THEY DENOUNCE TAFT. Connecticut Afro-American Voters Assert That No Self-Respecting Member of the Race Can Vote for Him. New Haven, Conn.-Delegates from every organization of our voters in this state met here August 21 and passed a resolution which asserted that "no self-respecting Negro will vote for William H. Taft for president." There are 600 Afro-American voters represented by the organizations. The resolutions were, in part: "As a result of our stupid loyalty to "However, two things are certain concerning the present campaign. First, that any general bolt to the Democratic party at this time would have a hard-won second, that no self-serving Negro will William H. Tatt, in view of his Negro policy. And this is his Negro policy: "(1) He condones Negro disfranchisement and advocates the doctrine that the Negro ought to be satisfied with the incidental advantages which he may derive from unjust laws almed at his welfare. (2) He improves the punishment of the Negro soldiers without trial, most of whom he frankly admitted were innocent, although he had previously said of white soldiers accused of crime that they were the wards of the government and so deserved more than ordinary consideration. (3) He discribes to the southern doctrine that Negro education should be so restricted as to accord with an inferior place which he believes that the Negro can only hope to occupy. - "(4) He trades on his family history to excuse his own shortcomings." The resolutions were thoroughly discussed before adoption. WILLIAM L. EGGERS One of Cleveland's best known of her younger native-born sons is the gentleman whose name heads this article. He is 33 years of age and a product of our public schools. From 1901 to 1906, Mr. Eggers was a deputy sheriff, chief jailer. He resigned to open the well-known cigar store in American Trust, building. Just at present, Mr. Eggers, as he is fat known in the county, is hustling for the Republican nomination for sheriff and he is going to get it, too. He will prove a tower of strength to the ticket, because he is so well known and liked for his sterling qualities, honesty, integrity, energy, faithfulness to friends as well as duty. Mr. Eggers has thorough and practical friendship for our race, and we advise our voters to support him united at the primaries soon to be held. Our people are sure to have a deputy under Sheriff Eggers. Dr. J. K Nickens returned Saturday from an extensive tour of southern Ohio and adjoining states. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. PROF. W. E. B. DU BOIS. The Niagara Movement Begins Sessional Responses to Discussions Tats and Regensburg Oberlin, O.—The Niagara movement, a national organization of Afro-Americans formed in 1905 and taking its name from its first meeting place, Niagara, is in session here in the council hall of Oberlin college. Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois of Atlanta university, who is the head of the movement, is secretary, was chairman of the opening meeting. Seven states were represented Tuesday and delegates from seven more were bourly expected. The movement is organized for the purpose of promoting racial interest in every honorable way. The members to a man will not support or vote for William H. Taft. President Roosevelt was brought in for much severe criticism on his position in regard to Taft and the latter was roundly scored. Warm sessions are promised during the meeting. JOHN H. COX. Citizens who have business in the county clerk's office appreciate the necessity of employing the most modern methods of maintaining the highest efficiency in conducting the affairs of the office. It should be as free from vicious political influence as the court itself. It is in the clerk's office that the jury is impanelled and upon the jury depends the citizen's rights to the court. John H. Cox, candidate for the Republican nomination for county clerk, pledges himself, if elected, to abolish the pernicious custom of rewarding political workers with places on the jury, and to see that juries are honestly drawn, thus insuring impartial and honest trials for all litigants. Mr. Cox's long service as cashier of the Western Union Telegraph Co. has fitted him for systematizing the imputation amount of detail work in the clerk's office, that those having business there may, when out needless delay, and his freedom from factional affiliations insures a square deal to all. Vote at the primaries Thursday, September 10, from 1 to 7 p. m., for John H. Cox. OUR NURSES' FIRST CONVENTION New York City.—Of our 450 graduate nurses 59 met here recently in convention, on call of Miss Martha M. Franklin of New Haven, and rendered a fine program in St. Mark's church. Fraternal greetings were received from the National Medical association, which was in session in this city. Rev. Dr. W. H.

Many physicians not on program delivered excellent addresses. VIOLA V. SYMONS, Graduate Provident Hospital, Chicago WHAT MR. TAFT MUST DO. If Secretary Taft desires the support of colored Americans, there are several questions he must make himself clear upon. He must take his position clear and clean, and notify the nation of his attitude as unchangeable. Let us enumerate: 1. Mr. Taft must enlighten the colored people upon the Brownsville outrage; he must tell them whether or whether not he favors justice for the outraged soldiers, that is, the rehabilitation in the army. 2. Mr Taft must declare his allegiance to the war amendments and describe his position as to the infamous disfranchisement laws of the south; whether he sympathizes with them, or whether he is opposed to them and will dedicate his powers to their undoing. 3. Mr. Taft must reiterate in a longer and more important way the gospel of education which he teaches at Fisk University in May, when he declared for the higher education of colored Americans—N. Y. National Review. Association of Women's Clubs Brooklyn, N. Y.—Our city was the scene of a remarkable gathering of our women last week—the stout biennial convention of the National Association of Women's clubs. The convention began Monday and ended Friday night. A great many delegates were here and a strong program was carried out in a systematic manner. Mrs. Lucy Thurman of Jackson, Mich., president. 2 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. Senator Foraker's speech Tuesday at the dedication of the Fort Meigs monument at Perrysburg, near Toleto, certainly rattled, and loudly too, some (Roosevelt) dry bones. The Taft newspaper subsidy seems to have gobbled up another eastern contemporary and there is a consequent great change In its dress and political tone. How easily a little campaign booled works wondrous changes with the hungry and unprincipled. The black "bread and butter brigade," (federal office-holders) are already howling like a pack of hungry wolves because Chairman Hitchcock of the national committee has ignored them in particular and the Negro in general. That's what President Roosevelt and his "human phonograph," Taft, have been doing for many months except when kicking "The Black Battalion." Mr. Hitchcock is but following his leaders, and we hope he will give all black traitors (those who support Taft) even more of what they so richly deserve. When will our newspaper editors get through lamenting the death of E. E. Cooper? A bigger scamp in journalism than Cooper is unknown to us, and the fraternity is blessed by his double Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. They have finally stopped. It is well that there has been a very sudden let up in the fulsome and unmerited praise of Ed. Cooper. When it becomes necessary for our people to parade such men's careers, thinly or thickly coated with undeserved praise, it is time for the Afro-American, as a race or class, to "pass out." Everybody in Ohio knows the Taft program to eliminate Senator Foraker from public life, and everyone knows that "Phonograph Bill" Taft is but the agent of President "Brownville" Roosevelt in the elimination business. These facts are recognized even outside the borders of the "Buckeye" state. How any intelligent member of the race who declares himself loyal to our only outspoken friend in public life, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, and the race, can support Mr. "Difranchisement, Jim-Crow Car" Taft and expect to be regarded as honest and honorable is more than we can figure out. "CLICK" MITCHELL LYNCHING GANSON. Gov. Andrew L. Harris has made a great mistake in the appointment of one C. H. Ganson as a member of the state board of agriculture, which he must hasten to rectify or lose the vote of every decent, self and race-respecting Afro-American voter in the state of Ohio. That man Ganson was mayor of Urbana when "Click" Mitchell was lynched, some ten years ago, and has a record in connection with that diabolical demonstration that makes our blood run warmer when it is recalled. No wonder the Colored American League of Columbus is sending out a strong set of resolutions, which is sure to arouse great feeling among our people against the governor, unless the Ganson appointment is recalled promptly. We have known Gen. Harris for many years, have always been a warm admirer of him and intended to vote and support him because he is one of Ohio's oldest and best citizens, a real Republican and brave ex-soldier of the war of the rebellion. But unless that Ganson appointment is recalled, in common with all the rest of the decent, self and race-respecting members of our race, we cannot do so. We simply will, not, cannot vote an indorsement of the appointment to public office of such a person as "Champaign County Lynching" Ganson. That is too much for us to do, much as we admire our brave, able and distinguished governor. TO CENSOR SCARBOROUGH'S PRAYER! The state Republican committee, refusing to place an Afro-American orator on the program for the Taft campaign opening at Youngstown September 5, decided to pacify its small Afro-American contingent by engaging President Scarborough of Wilberforce University to make the invocation. The daily press announced last Saturday that the committee had decided to have President Scarborough submit a copy of his prayer that it might examine and sensor the same before he prays it to Almighty God, for fear he might mention Senator Foraker or the Brownville affair. Well, well, WELL! What do you think of that? We knew the Taft-Roosevelt management of the Republican party was capable of a great many more contemptible things. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1908. but we never dreamed of this. With nearly a half century control of the government the Republican party has allowed the burning at the stake of about 100 live human beings in violation of all law and decency. It has allowed the lynch-murder of many hundreds of innocent Afro-Americans in the last 25 years. Under its reign there has grown up innumerable "Kluklux Klans," "White Can" organizations, "Midnight Mobs," "Noonday Burners," "Regulators," self-constituted "Law and (dls) Order Leagues," "Unwritten Law Thugs" and the "Ghosts of Hell," until the whole population has clung into a great human slaughter-pen, with an annual output of murderers and accessories before and after, greater in number than the whole standing army of the United States! It has forced the estimate on "the dollar up" and the estimate on "human life down" until every man carries his life in an egg shell, which is liable to be crushed at any minute! The inequation of its economic and industrial policy has been such as to allow 90 per cent. of the wealth of the country to be transferred to 10 per cent. of the population. By its peculiar manipulation of money and (chief) executive power it has let fall, as a clap of thunder from a clear sky, the most disastrous panic the world has ever seen, locking the wheels of industry and forcing 6,000,000 workingmen into idleness, want, and misery, while the United States fleet is on a pleasure junker around the world at a cost of $75,000,000 of the toller's money! Under its reign the influence of American religion has been minimized, if not destroyed, and its early death is predicted by a prominent minister of a most fashionable church of this city; while Rev. Dr. Aked of New City says it is decaying and cannot survive this century! Having been "Jim Crowed" and disfranchised under its regime, millions will not shed any tears over its demise for obvious reasons! We may as well acknowledge the fact that there is a universal letting-down morally and mentally of the whole people so that it is almost impossible for men to do right or think right under the present system. Now to climax all, it assumes the impious and impulsive position of censoring prayers at more political meetings before they can be presented by Afro-Americans to the Almighty! And Mr. Taft of Brownsville, disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" car notoriously, who adds his approval to Roosevelt's lynching of a whole battalion of Afro-American soldiers, and the nullification of the 14th and 15th amendments to the U. S. constitution, says, if elected, the burden of his administration will be to carry out Mr. Roosevelt's policies. GREAT GOD! We wonder how many men have stopped to think what the "big stick" policy has for this city! To have to bear another four years of it, with the hopes and aspirations of our people practically blighted, with descriminations, humiliations, death and destruction following in its wake, is enough to encourage them to rent their homes and live in the suburbs of Hades until a change for the better comes. The perpetuation of the government, year, the very life of the republic itself demand, from Maine to Texas and from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, the defeat of Mr. Difranchisement, "Jim Crow" Car Taft. ```markdown ``` Foraker Dines With Booker. Bar Harbor, Me.-A large and successful meeting in the interest of the Tuskegee Institute was held in this city recently before the leading citizens, at which a large sum of money was collected.

THE SQUARE DEAL DOOR OF HOPE Courtesy of the Montgomery Colored Alabamian TAFT DRAGS THE SOLDIERS BY THE NECK TO ROOSEVELT WHO KICKS THEM INL WHY MR. EDEN WAS KILLED! He Tried to Protect His Wife—He Was Wealthy and a Good Citizen in Every Way—Other Lynch-Murders. Belen, Miss. —Ever since the nontation at Chicago of Mr. Tatt, lynch murders in this section of the country have been multiplying as never before since the days immediately following the Reconstruction period. This is because the prejudiced white south knows he favors disfranchise and cars and the Brownies outrage of our drivers. Mr. Felix Eden was killed May 10 at night in Belen, a town eight miles from Marks, Miss. Attorney J. R. Wells (white) killed Mr. Eden because he (Wells) mistreated Eden's wife. Eden went to the lawyer and the police, and Wells shot him. This same brute Eden's murderer, broke in on a colored woman the same night he kicked Mr. Eden's wife. The woman shot at him and the next morning a hat with his name inside was found there. Wells was taken out of jail and carved into a hotel and walks the streets in a hotel and walks the streets in a hotel. I have been knowing Mr. Eden for 30 years and I don't know a better man. I cannot see why a one should have killed him. On May 15 at Wells' trial, which was witnessed by a number of people, Mr. Ware, a woman of the killing told it just as it was but the white folks turned Wells loose just the white folks turned Wells loose at the place. Belen, Miss, a colored person cannot protect himself. About nine months ago a nice respectable colored man left his house and later was found tied to a fence of the killing told it just as it was around as if he was a stick of wood. This was only one-half mile from Belen. Only seven months ago a smart and nice young colored man, who had been working for a white man only a quarter of a mile from Belen was found hanging from a tree. Belen was out for some time without pay he asked his employer for some money with the result above stated. 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 there is labor wanted because we are a free people. We will have a free people and will go anywhere Louisiana. It is reported that the law in Quitman 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 killing us about our own wives we can't and won't stand. We have stood if these 'any years, not because we were not afraid of man nor peace. We are not afraid of man nor death. We have men by the hundreds who are shooting because they were born to die. Foraker and Dick Two of this nation's greatest living patrons 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 him, and grow on earth, some of whom might otherwise have eventually lined up for him. As it is, it is throwing fat 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 deed that he shouldered our musket and mustered in for service, and then served. To insult Foraker and Dick is to add insult to injury, and by the help of God, we will resent it.—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Plone Press. 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.) Republic can Burton Against Foraker! Congressman Burton will not be opposed in his senatorial aspirations by ex-Gov. Myron T. Herrick. The statement comes direct from Herrick. The former governor said that he was 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 only candidate against Foraker, there is no need for candidates for the governor because of personal allegiance to Burton, but they should be men of ability and good standing. ```markdown ``` VOTE FOR CHARLES W. SNIDER 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 antitraching law, delivering a strong speech in its favor. He also opposed the 50-year franchise bill and supported every labor measure before that body. Snider also supported the only plea he made to the plaques 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 knows he later fatically 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. OUR WOMEN FOR FORAKER! The Federation is Opposed to Taft and Bryan. 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 presidency in the hope that 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 the women of the federation would not support politically either the Democrat or the Republican in 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 relationship," and pressed for the Wilmington supreme court judge who set aside the ruling. The mayor of a Mississippi city was denounced for taking away the rights of a white professor who decided in favor of the Negro student who won the prize in the E. A. spelling contest (Clevedon, Ill.) deplored, the government censured for not protecting its citizens, and the federation urged not to cease agitation to obtain protection. Vote for Chafin! According to the press dispatches during the race riots last week in Springfield, Ill., the Hon. Mr. Chafn, 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 from the mob when, from which Mr. Chafn was speaking, The presidential candidate stopped long enough to announce that he would shoot anyone who touched the helpless Negro. No one further molested the Negro, but some mean beast threw a brick and struck Mr. Chafn, who was wounded him. Hats off for Chafn! He will do—Charlotte (N. C.) Star of Zion. Dreading life imperiled by the ravages of disease more than the horror of a violent death, Charles A. Lawson, confidential secretary to J. T. Harahan, president of the Illinois Central railroad, jumped from the steamer City of Bentor Harbor, with body weighted, and was drowned. WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY.

WALTER D. MEALS. ESO 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 leaders in the city where he 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 qualify him for the position of common pleas court judge, a Republican nominee, which he is a bishop at this time, and with splendid prospects for success. Mr. Meals is a broad-gauged man who rises above petty prejudices of all kinds and is one of the friends of the race who does all in his power all the time to show in a practical way that he is willing to talk about it. That is why The Gazette it for him willingly, and too, without his knowledge until he reads this. VOTE FOR HIM! Seat Given to "Lily White" Taftite Muss, M. 1955, Aug. 18, 1908. Hon. H. C. Smith, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir, who be the hub of the fight, because that champion of equal rights, Senator J. Foraker, will be fought to prohibit his return to the United States senate, and as I was a delegate from the Fourth congressional district of Mississippi, who was denied my seat in the Chicago national Republican convention owing to the fact that I was and am a Foraker man, naturally I am interested in the Ohio situation. Please send The Gazette and subscription blank, as well as a postoffice order blank. W. H. RUSSELL. Ohio Afro-Americans should note the fact that all nominees for the signature are being bound by a plea 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 in clearly entitled to.

THE LAND OF GRAIN —BY— JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD Author of “American Farmers Build: ing a New Nation in the North”— “Canada—The Land of Greater Hope”—“The Invasion of Canada by American Farmers"—“A Thousand Miles on Horseback Across the Do- minion Provinces," Ete., Ete. Not so very many years ago the major- ty of people in the United States Jaughed at the prediction that thé day was coming when Western Canada Would far outstrip this country in the raising of grain—when, in other words, ft would become the great bread-basket of the world. During the past three of four years the enormous production of grain in the Dominion West has thinned the ranks of those who doubted the destiny of Canada's Yast grain growing regions; the crops of this year will dispel the doubts of the remaining few. From Winnipeg Westward to the foothills of Alberta, over a country nearly a thousand miles in width, the gran production this year will be something to almost stagger the beliet of those hundreds of thousands of American farmers whose average yield is not more than from ten to fifteen bushels of wheat to the aere, and who are finding that thelr product 13 also outclassed In quality by that of their northern neighbors. ‘The enormous grain crop of this year in the Canadian West may truth: fully be said to be the production of a few pioneers.” Only a small per centage of the unnumbered millions of acres of grain land are under culti- vation, notwithstanding the fact that tens of thousands of homesteads were taken up last year. And yet, when all the figures are in, 1t will be found that the settlers of the western prai- ries have raised this year more than 125,000,000 bushels of wheat, 100,000, 000 Dushiels of oats and 25,000,000 bushels of barley, Tt hias been a “for- time making year” for thousands of American farmers who two or three yeurs ago owned hardly more than the clothes upon thelr backs, and whose bumper erops from thelr homesteads will yleld them this season anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500 each, more money than many of them have seen at one time in all thet lives. Very recently I passed through the western provinces from Winnipeg to Calgary, and in the words of a fellow passenger, who was astonished by What he saw from the car windows in Manitoba, we were, metaphorically speaking, in a “land of milk and honey,"," The country was one great sweep! of ripening grain, Tn fact, so enormous Was the erop, that at the time there were grave doubts as to the possibility of GETTING ENOUGH BINDER TWINE TO SUPPLY THE DEMAND. A situation like this has never before been known in the agri- cultural history of any country. Before I made my first trip through the Dominion west I doubted very much the stories that I,had heard of this so-called “grain wonderland” across the border. I believed. as un- numbered thousands of others be- lieved, that the stories were circulated mostly to induce immigration. 1 quick- ly found that I was wrong. As one Alberta farmer said to me a few weeks ago, “If the whole truth were told about this country I don’t sup- pose you could find one American in ten who would belleve it.” ‘This year the prospects of the wheat crop of Saskatchewan, Mani- toba and Alberta are an average of over TWENTY-FIVE BUSHELS TO THE ACRE, and that this grain is far superion to that raised in the states is proved by our own govern- ment statisties, whfch show that Amerlean millers are importing mjl- ions of bushels ot B“Canadian hard” to mix with the home product in order that THIS HOME PRODUCT MAY BE RAISED TO THE REQUIRED STANDARD. It is a peculiar fact that while the Dominion Government. {s anxious for its western provinces to fill up with the very best of immt- grants, there has been no blatant or sensational advertising of those lands. For this reason it is probable that not one American farmer out of fifty knows tht Canada wheat now holds the world’s record of value—that, in other words, it is the best wheat on earth, and that more of it is grown to the acre than anywhere else in the world. A brlef study of elimatic conditions, and those things which go to make a climate, will show that the farther one travels northward from the Mon- tana border the milder the climate be- comes—up to a certain point. In other words, the climate at Edmonton, Alberta, is far better than that of Denver, 1,500 miles south; and while thousands of cattle and sheep are dy- ing because of the severity of the winters in Wyoming, Montana and other western states, the cattle, sheep and horses of Alberta GRAZE ON THE RANGES ALL WINTER WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SHELTER. This is all largely because sea-currents and alrcurrents have to do with the ma- King of the climate of temperate re- gions, For instance, why is it that California possesses such a beautiful climate, with no winter at all, while the New England states on a parallel with it have practically six months of winter out of twelve? Tt ts because of that great sweep of warm water known as the “Japan current,” and this same current not only affects the westernmost of tie Dominion provinces, but added to its influence are what are known as the eee Te ae ee DRONES Toor Ih ere production, as it is Saskatchewan's ‘and Manitoba's, and from figures al- ready in it is estimaced that Alberta's wheat will yield on an average of THIR- TY-FIVE BUSHELS TO TH ACRE. In many parts of the province returns. will show a yield of as high as FIFTY bushels to the acre and it is freely predicted by many that when the of ficial figures are ina yield of at least forty-five instead of thirty-five bushels to the acre will be shown. At the time of my last journey through the Canadian West, when my purpose was largely to secure statis- tical matter for book use, 1 solicited letters from American settlers in all parts of the three provinces, and most of these make most interesting read ing. The letter was written by A, Kal- tenbrunner, whose postoffice address is Regina, Saskatchewan, “A few years ago,” he says, “t took up a homestead for myself and also one for my son. The half section which we own Is between Roulean and Drinkwater, adjoining the Moosejaw ereek, and ts a low, level and heavy. land. Last year we put in 100 acres of wheat which went 25 bushels to the acre. Every bushel of it was ‘No. 1." ‘That means the best wheat that can be raised on earth—worth 90 cents a bushel at the nearest elevators. We also threshed 9,000 bushets of first class oats ont of 160 acres, Eighty acres was fail plowing AND YIELDED. NINETY BUSHELS ‘TO THE ACRE. We got 53 cents a bushel clear, All our grain was cut in the last week of the month of August. We will make more money out of our crops this year than last. For myself, I feel com- pelied to say that Western Candda crops eannot be checked, even by un- usual conditions.” ‘ An itemized account shows a single year’s earnings of this settler and his Bon to be as follows: 2,500 bushels of wheat at 90 cents a bushel. conan e$2,200. 9,000 bushels of oats at 53 cents @ DUSKEL......cssveenser eens AITO Motel, a ecerdevesenaen acess 0080: Tt will be seen by the above that this man’s oat crop was worth twice as much as his wheat crop. Whiie the provinces of western Canada will for all time to come be the world’s greatest wheat growing regions, oats are running the former grain a close race for supremacy. ‘The soil and cli- matic conditions in Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and Alberta are particular- ly favorable to the production of oats, and this grain, like the wheat, runs a far greater crop to the acre than in even the best grain producing states of the union. Ninety bushels to the acre is not an unusual yield, whole homesteads frequently running this average. And this is not the ouly ad- vantage Western Canada oats have ‘over those of the United States, for in weight they run between forty and fifty pounds to the bushel, while No. 1 wheat goes to sixty-two pounds to the bushel. In fact, so heavy 1s Canadian grain of all kinds, and espe- cially the wheat, that throughout the west one will see cars with great placards upon them, which read: _ “This car is not to be filled to ca- pacity with Alberta wheat.” When I made my first trip through the Canadian West a few years ago I found thousands of settlers living in rude shacks, tent shelters and homes of logs and clay, Today one will find these old “homes” scattered from Manitoba to the Rockies, but they are no longer used by human tenants. Modern homes have taken their place —for it has come to be a common say- ing in these great grain regions that, “The first year a settler is in the land he earns a living; the second he has money enough to build himself a mod- ern home and barns; the third he is independent.” And as extreme as this statement may seem to those hun- dreds of thousands of American farm- ers who strive for a meager existence, it is absolutely true. I am an Ameri- can, as patriotic, I believe, as most of our people—but even at that I cannot but wish that these people, whose lives are such an endless and unhappy grind, might know of the new life that is awaiting them in this last great west—this “land of greater hope,” where the farmer is king, and where the wealth all rests in his hands. As ‘one American farmer said to me, “It is hard to pull up stakes and move a couple of thousand miles.” And so it is—or at least it appears to be. But in a month it can be done. And the first year, when the new settler reaps a greater harvest than he has ever possessed before, he will rise ‘with 200,000 others of his people in ‘Western Canada and thank the gov- ernment that has given him, free of cost, a new life, a new home, and new: hopes—which has made of him, in fact, “A man among men, a possessor ‘of wealth among his people.” ABSENT-MINDED. ro EEE, Oo Lape ——— ia i x My Pe OS Ya, a (gee eo . alice) e P RON | Old Gent—Here, you boy, what are you doing out ere, fishing?

When a manufacturer adopts a trade mark he assumes the entire rex sponsibility for the merit of his prod: net. He takes his business repu- tion-in his hands—out in the lime- light—"on the square” with the buy- er of his goods, with the dealer, and with himself, ‘The other manufacturer—the one who holds out “inducements,” offer- ing to brand all goods purchased with each local dealer's brand—sidesteps responsibility, and when these infe- rlor goods “come back” it’s the local dealer that must pay the penalty. A good example of the kind of pro-, tection afforded the public by a trade mark is that offered in connection with National Lead Company's adver tising of pure White Lead as the best paint material, ‘That the Dutch Boy Painter trade mark js an absolute guaranty of purl. ty In White Lead is proved to the most xkepiieal by the offer National Lead Company make to send free to any address « blow-pipe and instruc: tions how to test the white lead for themselves. ‘The testing outfit 1s be- ing sent out from the New York office of the company, Woodbridge Building. ‘Cape Cod Fog. “Yes,” remarked the Down Easter, “we do have fog along Cape Cod some- times, One night the fox came up and in the morning when I went to milk I couldn't find the old cow.
