A SYMPOSIUM Statements of Leading Men of Both Races Richmond, Va.—John Mitchell, editor of the Planet, has come out in a statement to the effect that the Negroes of this state and the south are to take little stock in the Republican party this year, and that the bulk of them are to vote for Bryan. He says that the Republican party has been making promises to Negroes since the civil war. He declares that the recent race troubles in other states have added to the unrest, and that in many states where they hold the balance of power they will either vote for the Democrats or else stay away from the polls. From the West. Chicago, Ill.—At a recent conference between William J. Bryan and numerous members of the Democratic national committee in the headquarters at the Auditorium Annex one of the chief subjects of discussion was how to enlist the support of Negro voters in the "close" states. Col. Henry Watterson (white) of Kentucky urged upon the party nominee to so shape his speeches on his tour of the "close" states as to influence their allegiance in the direction of the Democracy. Col. Watterson has given this subject careful thought since the opening of the campaign, and as a southerner he says many thousands of Negroes can be won over to the Democratic ticket this year if the proper appeal be made to them. From the North New York City.—Samuel R. Scottron, appointed by Mayor Seth Low a member of the Brooklyn board of education and one of the most prominent influential men of color in this city, who has voted the Republican ticket as long as he has voted at all, has bolted the Taft and Sherman ticket and will support Bryan. In defending his action he said: "The time he comes for me colored voters to exercise their right of freedom. Negroes are not going to be enslaved again. There has come peace to our race in the southern states and it will have to remain. They have got to live at peace with the whites. The Democratic party is the only party that has named and elected a Negro to a responsible office, and that was the election of James M. Matthews as judge at Albany. Our public schools are now in the most advanced state, due to Democratic votes. Look at Philadelphia. She never had black policemen till a Democratic administration appointed our men to office." From the East. Philadelphia, Pa.—The Negro Bryan league, of which Rev. H. A. Armstrong is president, has opened headquarters at No. 305 South Juniper street, and plans are now being formulated for a vigorous campaign among our people of this city in the interest of the Democratic nominee for president. President Armstrong signaled the opening of the campaign headquarters by issuing a statement explaining the purposes of the league and appealing to our voters of the city for financial aid. The statement is prefaced by the declaration that our people of this city in the in for president. President Armstr campaign headquarters by issuin poses of the league and appeali financial aid. The statement is "LYNCH-MURDER" GANSON! Of "Click" Mitchell Notoriety — Gov. Harris Honors Him — Taft, Dis- franchisement, "Jim-Crow" Cars and Brownsville. OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR. Columbus, O. S., Sept. 4, 1960. Editor Gazette.-My Dear Harry: I notice in a recent issue of The Gazette that you are criticizing the governor for the amount of the failure to remove C. H. Ganson from the board of agriculture. You have always been reasonable, and you and I have been political friends so often that I take the liberty of writing you in regard to this case. As you no doubt remember, the state board of agriculture had no official standing until last winter when the legislature providing for the state taking over the property, etc., of the board, it was made a state statute therefore the board had been selected by the delegates to the state agricultural meeting in January of each year. The new law provides that this society shall recommend two members each year to the governor for appointment to fill the vacancies occurring annually. When the law was passed last winter, there were no protests against any of the members then serving on the board, and the spirit of the law, appointed the ten then serving. Having gone thus far, your knowledge of state affairs will show you clearly that the governor has no power to remove Ganson, except for cause, which must be reported to the senate at its next session and passed upon by that body. When you come to remove a state official, the cause must be official misconduct, or such conduct, after his appointment, as plainly renders him unfit for the position, rates and that would muster before the senate. As a matter of fact, the governor's power does not go further than suspension, pending the action of the senate. I am aware that this law says the governor shall have power to remove members at any time, but it is clear that the legislature did not intend to give the governor any special power in this case, but merely to confer the same power he is given with reference to other appointive positions. Samuel R. Scottron. not going to be enslaved again There has come peace to our race in the southern states and it will have to remain. They have got to live at peace with the whites. The Democratic party is the only party that has named and elected a Negro to a responsible office, and that was the election of James M. Matthews as judge at Albany. Our public schools are now in the most advanced state, due to Democratic votes. Look at Philadelphia. She never had black policemen till a Democratic administration appointed our men to office." From the East. Philadelphia, Pa.—The Negro Bryan league, of which Rev. H. A. Armstrong is president, has opened headquarters at No. 305 South Juniper street, and plans are now being formulated You certainly appreciate the fact, as you seem to indicate in your editorial, that Gov. Harris would not wantonly do anything inimical to the colored race. In his speech at Youngstown to-morrow he will express him only on the subject, and his war record will be the most extensive in some extent at least. Then, Harry, there are some other things that I can not put in a letter that ought to operate in the governor's favor. I hope I may see you soon. But, in the meantime, for the sake of our old friend I will not repudiate his reputation for fair play, I ask you to suspend judgment in this case. Very truly yours, OPHA MOORE. Mr. Ophia Moore, Care Executive Office, Capitol Building, Columbus, O.—Friend Ophia: Copy of the governor's speech at Youngstown received. Thank you. In reply to that part of it relative to the Negro, please say to the governor that the Ohio Democratic platform is not any more silent on the question of the "rights of the Negro" than the "rights of the party has been - as a matter of (action) fact for the last 20 years. That is why the continued repeating of the "hog-wash" in the Ohio Republican (and national, too) platform is so meaningless to intelligent Afro-American voters, here in Ohio where they (the intelligent ones) are in the great majority. With all the power in this state and nationally, the Republican party does absolutely nothing to carry out any of its many platform pledges to the "Negro" for more than 20 years past. The Republican party is in the national convention at Chicago not only indorsed "Lily-Whistism" when it seated 213 delegates from the south, simply because they were for Taft, and unseated the same number of regularly elected delegates (white and black) because they were not for Taft, and unseated the same number of the Republican party, but also persisted in the nomination of Taft in spite of the protests of practically all of our leading men, representing as they do, so potent a factor of the Republican party. As you and every one else know, Mr. Taft in his speech in Greensboro, N.C., said that he had indeed he did not practically indorse, disfranchisement in the south. In a speech in Lexington, Kentucky, in From the East Cleveland O. Sept. 11. 1908. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. no one at present connected with the movement has ever before either worked or voted for the Democratic party. Continuing, the statement declares: "We are keenly alive to the fact that certain grave and far-reaching wrongs have been done our race, and through us the entire country, by the potent agencies of the Republican party, which wrongs have sorely aggravated relations between the races and subverted and distorted the democratic ideals toward which this country is painfully groping, and it is for no other purpose than to correct these wrongs, by repudiating the leaders by whom they have been inflicted, that we are opposed to the Republican party or any man connected therewith because of any act or policy with reference to the colored race. In a speech in defense of Negro disfranchisement on his tour of the south some time ago Judge Taft declared that Negroes are 'a class of persons so ignorant and so subject to oppression and misleading that they are merely political children, not having the mental stature of manhood,' and that 'their voice in the government, even when not suppressed, secures them no benefit.' The entire bent of Republican leaders toward Negroes during the past decade has been to deal with them as the 'political children' which Judge Taft so aptly terms them, completely ignoring their most rudimentary rights and interests, setting their stamp of approval upon every oppressive and repressive measure enacted against them by the south, largely because of the Negro's blind opposition to the sentiment and interests of the people of that section, upon whose good favor his very existence depended; making no scruples to completely eradicate them from the political equation when party success would seem to demand it, and thinking at each successive election to whip the Negro into line by reciting moss-grown tales of ancient deeds of Republican friendship, and making hypocritical promises relative to conditions at the south, which promises they have no thought or intention of considering after election. But not the least of our motives in acting independently in this crisis is concern for the good name of the 100,000 Negroes of Philadelphia, affecting, as they do, because of their vast numbers, the moral and political conditions of this city, and furnishing a criterion as to the Negro's character in a manner which is perhaps true of no other community." From the South. That race riots have reached the home of the great emancipator is no surprise when we view the action of Mr. Roosevelt in discharging "The Black Battalion" without trial, when we take into consideration the large and enthusiastic audiences of the most reputable, cultivated and law-abiding citizens of the Negro race assembled in monster mass meetings in Chicago last June to protest in tones of thunder against the nomination of Mr. Taft. For 40 years the Negro has voted solidly for this one party and by so doing has won its contempt. Now, when this race is on the eve of dividing its vote for the preservation of personal liberty, for the full enjoyment of life, for the pursuit of happiness, it is to be intimidated and driven back into the ranks of the Republican party. Are the Negroes so stupid that they will not see that the decree has gone forth that if they persist in blindly supporting the Republican party it is only a question of time when they of the north and west will be confronted by national disfranchisement? If their white Republican brethren of the north and west would treat them with frankness, would treat them honestly, they would tell them that this great issue is coming and that it will be successful unless they, like the Germans, Irishmen and Scandinavians, divide their vote among the various parties and thereby secure for themselves justice and proper recognition. I, therefore, as a loyal Republican, advise the colored voter to cast his ballot for William J. Bryan, as the most effective way of rebuking the Republican party and bringing it back to its original principles and securing for the Negro race the enjoyment of personal liberty and the great blessing of human equality before the law. Every colored man who casts his ballot for Bryan casts a ballot for the manhood and political rights of the Negro race and two votes against William H. Taft and Roosevelt's policies. Every colored man who casts his ballot for any other candidate casts but one vote against William H. Taft and the Roosevelt policies. At this crucial moment, under the leadership of their most intelligent, pure and honest men, the great mass, the rank and file of the Negro race must come to the front and by concerted action rebuke Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft for the discharge of "The Black Battalion," the refusal of the administration to make an honest effort to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and preserve inviolate and indestructible the constitution of this great country. Atlanta, Ga. T. M. BLODGETT (White) President Georgia State League of Republican Clubs. 1907, he not only indorsed "Jim-Crow" cars in the south for my people, but took pains to try to show them how to make such laws stronger and better from the southern prejudiced viewpoint. As you will see in the copy of the current issue of my paper sent to you this week, he is as responsible for the decisions of people age and those insulting messages to the United States senate relative to that matter, as President Roosevelt. His speech at Grand Rapids and other points in the north only made this condition worse. From the foregoing and other well-known facts which time will not permit, he to write, you will readily see of the degree to the actual the member of my race when it comes to matters political this fall. The governor's retention of "Champaign County Lynching" Ganson on the state agricultural board will cost him thousands of Afro-American votes this fall. Such effort as he can make to get rid of Ganson ought to be made at once and will help him in the policy, if I understand your letter correctly, will only make bad matters worse, and snow that he is not disposed even to make an effort to get rid of Ganson. I am sorry that this seems to be the disposition at the capitol, because up until the Ganson board was formed in the toward the governor as indicated in the ternal in my paper last and this week. Very truly yours, HARRY C. SMITH Vindication for Senator Foraker. Senator Foraker continues in the role of evil genius of the Republican fold. He can neither speak nor retrain from speaking without disturbing his colleagues' peace of mind. The worst feature of the truly lamentable situation is that the senator is so often right. The circuit court for the east coast is the most unconstitutional commodity clause of the rate law unconstitutional in the test case brought by the government. Mr. Foraker said this when the measure was pending in congress and was the only Republican in the senate to vote against it. The court decision is a vindication of the senator as a lawyer, even if it does not hold on this press place at Washington—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

MAKE PITIFUL APPEAL FOR PEACE AND ASK FORAKER'S AID IN CAMPAIGN. STATE CHAIRMAN ASKS OLD WAR HORSE TO STUMP THIS NOW CONCEDED DOUBT- FUL STATE. SAYS HIS LOYALTY WAS NEVER DOUBTED Action at Dication of Candidate Taft Himself — Regulars Mourn in Sackcloth and Ashes and Repent at Talk of Throttling Senior Senator. Columbus, O.—Dispatching special messengers with piteous appeals for help, the Taft Republican state organization is now fairly begging Senator Joseph Benson Foraker to take the stump in Ohio for the national and state tickets, Arthur I. Vorys and Chairman Henry A. Williams, with other organization members, is illuminating correspondence between Williams and the senator was made public the past week. It Williams tells the senator that the organization never had any doubt about his intense loyalty, that the newspapers of the state have been very, very naughty in stirring up trouble and that the organization wants him to participate in the senator's remeasured of anything else. There is every indication that Williams is simply acting under orders from no less a personage than William H. Taft. The talk that the political life must be thumped out of Senator Foraker and that he must be cut off from every possible chance of stirring up trouble when it comes to electing a United States senator next term. The extermination has changed to nothing short of loud walls for assistance. Foraker supporters are shouting for the first time in a long while. For weeks it has been generally understood that the senator senator was being sought for terms, and that the threat to kick him into oblivion was not going unchallenged. The back end of the campaign is important, it puts Senator Foraker in a position to say a whole lot about the selection of his successor. After the announcement that the Foraker controversy was a closed incident unless the senator saw fit to answer the invitation telling him he could not participate in the campaign opening, Chairman Williams was suddenly sent to the Senate. Two letters were sent post haste to Senator Foraker at Cincinnati. In the first one Williams wrote: "I wish to say that the newspaper reports published at the time action was taken by the committee when the speakers were selected for the event that your name was omitted from the list of speakers because the committee distrusted your loyalty to the party, are wholly untrue. The committee did not then, and does not now, have any doubt about your loyalty to the party or to your desire to help in the success at the November election. In an accompanying letter Williams relates that he has received urgent requests from local committees for speeches by the senator at East Liverpool and Bellaire. He set forth the his anxiety for an immediate reply to the requests and concludes as follows: "I am sending this letter to you by Judge Wood, chairman of the speakers bureau, and Mr. Karshner, chairman of the subcommittee on organization, in order that you may know how sincerely anxious the committee is to serve your services in the speaking campaign." Senator Foraker is not jumping over the traces in his eagerness to assist the organization in their tearful appeal. He has made other engagements which will take him well into October. He corresponds gracefully following logic between Arthur I Vorys and Claimman Williams, Mr. Vorys stopped at headquarters on his return to Cincinnati from his trip to New York as the personal representative of Mr. Taft in fixing up the campaign itinerary of the presidential candidate. Ohio is regarded as fighting ground. The great crowds that greeted William Jennings Bryan in his unannounced visit to the state last week has served to give the Republican managers cold shivers.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature. 1984 to 1981 1986 to 1984 1980 to 1982 Cleveland, Saturday, Sept. 19, 1908. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Desperation often drives people into church. Political desperation should always be barred, however. Subsidized and proselytized Negroes will never be able to steer the rank and file of Ohio's Afro-American vote to Mr. "Disfranchisement, Jim Crow Car" Taft, Mark that! Small as was the Afro-American attendance at the Youngstown opening of the campaign, much smaller will be the vote our people of Ohio will give Mr. "Cold-Feet-Brownsville" Taft. Taft's endorsement of "Brownsville" Roosevelt's policies, is his "fatal defect" as a candidate, says Senator Foraker. Well, there are several other fatal defects, from a loyal Afro-American's viewpoint. Thousands of people did not realize that Taft's chances of election in November were so manger, and waning so fast, until Roosevelt "howled" so long and loudly in his behaf last week. It will take considerably more than a "Teddy" blare, to save the big fat ex-secretary of war. Last Tuesday evening, Allen Temple, A, M, E, church, Cincinnati, was used for the purpose of holding a political meeting in the interest of a political candidate. That the affair was headed by the bishop of that church connection in this Episcopal district does not mitigate circumstances in the least. It is a shame, an outrage, and a disgrace from which the church will suffer for years to come, and it will do vastly more harm to all concerned than years of atonement can possibly wipe out. That the sacred precincts of a "temple" dedicated to the service of our Lord should be so desecrated, calls for general and widespread denunciation upon the part of all good people of every class. Is it possible that no hall in all Cincinnati could have been secured for the affair? THAT BURTON ENDORSEMENT. Last Saturday's Cuyahoga county convention endorsed the alleged candidacy of Congressman T. E. Burton for United States senator contrary to the wishes of the great majority of the Republicans of this community. It was the work of professional politicians who favor the candidacy of William H. Taft for the presidency, and who are opposed to the re-election to the United States senate of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, because they favor his elimination from public life, presumably as a result of his participation in the Brownsville controversy—his great and successful leadership of that long drawn out contest. The 14 candidates for the state assembly, nominated in that convention, as a result of the endorsement are not only pledged to vote for Mr. Burton "first, last and all the time," but are also pledged to vote against the re-election of Senator Foraker. As the Mr. Burton cannot possibly hope to be elected to the United States senate next winter because southern Ohio is entitled to the honor and will without a doubt command it, it is easy to be seen the his endorsement is to command Cuyahoga's 14 votes in the next state candidate (if the Republican candidates nominated in last Saturday's convention are elected in November) and to keep them from being cast for Senator Foraker. This being true, as it certainly is, the duty of every African American voter, who is loyal to Ohio's senior United States senator is clear. They must do all in their power to prevent the election of the 14 assembly nominees of last Saturday's Cuyahoga county Republican convention because they are pledged to vote for Mr. Burton and against Senator Foraker. Last fall we tried to make it clear to all people of this community that Mr. Burton was unalterably opposed to the senator. This fall Mr. Burton makes it unnecessary for us to do so, again, as the result of his politician-friends' action in the last Saturday's convention, referred to repeatedly in this leader. There is no question now; every vote cast this fall for the legislative nominee on the Republican ticket of this county will assist in the elimination from public life of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. A QUEER CONDITION OF AFFAIRS "REPUBLICAN." With Presidential Candidate William H. Taft practically endorsing dischranchement, "Jim Crow" cars and Roosevelt's outrageous discharge without honor of "The Black Batallion;" with Ohio's brave old war of the rebellion general, Gov. Andrew L. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1908. Harris (candidate for re-election) appointing and retaining as a member of the state board of agriculture "Urbana Lynch-Murder" Ganson; with Lyman H. Treadway, candidate for Ileantean governor, president of the Tippecanoe club of Cleveland a Republican organization, that bars from its membership all Afro-Americans dark enough to be known as such at a glance, and who presided at the club's banquet the night W. H. Taft spoke and even the Afro-American waiters were excluded from the banquet hall and not permitted to hear the address; with Common Pleas Judge Thomas Kennedy (a candidate for re-election) who, when a police judge in Cleveland some years ago, said in open court to an unfortunate Afro-American prisoner, "it's a lucky thing for you you're not in the south where they lynch your people;" with Attorney John Cline, a candidate for county (Cuyahoga) prosecutor who laid in court while fighting a civil rights suit some months ago, according to current reports, he thought that no Negro ought to expect to sit at a table in a public place or elsewhere, for that matter, with any white man if the latter did not want him to; and last but not least, a councilman Gus. Hirstius, a candidate for sheriff, with withdrew an ordinance to cut a street through from Central to Cedar avenues, between twenty-eight streets, because a few of the white property owners on the Cedar avenue objected on the ground that Negro would come through the peep in their windows, and who, in order to be re-elected in the council last fall, promised faithfully to have the street cut through in spite of the objection referred to, and has failed to do so, it will not be a difficult matter for our voters throughout Ohio, and especially those living in Cleveland and Cuyahoga county, to decide how to vote this fall, if indeed they vote at all. It is certainly a queer condition of matters political (Republican) which the Afro-American voter is facing this fall. Let every one be a MAN and so cast his vote as to not only help defeat all enemies of the race, regardless of their politics, but also to so vote as to help most our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. Almost as much good can be accomplished by not voting at all. Please remember this. Therefore those who are not inclined to scratch the Republican ticket or to vote some other ticket, can refuse to vote with a self-consciousness of having done their duty in large part. JUST BY THE WAY. News Items Boiled Down and Condensed. The receipts of the Gans-Nelson fight were slightly in excess of $18,000, of which Nelson received $7,500 and Gans $5,045.

Taft's Suspension of Mr. Roosevelt's Brownsville Order Was Formally Rescinded Before the Cable Was Received from the President-Corbin Always Prejudiced Against the Race. (Special to The Gazette.) Miss Cora B. Jackson, a native of Cleveland, for some years a teacher in the Indianapolis and Baltimore public schools, is now preceptress of Howard University in charge of the students. She is a graduate of the University of Chicago and a credit to her mother, Mrs. Jennie Jackson, and particularly to her aunt, Miss "Mickle" Cook, for years a teacher in the Washington, D.

Lord, president of the Tonopah & Goldfield railroad, died at Philadelphia recently. ISN'T IT SO? The Sandusky (O.) Register, a leading Republican daily paper, commenting editorially upon Booker T. Washington's recent anti-lynching lamentation and wailing, knowing him to be a loyal supporter of President Roosevelt's policies, and that Booker T. is trying to make the "welkin ring" for Mr. "Disfranchisement Jim-Crow-Car" Tatt for president, says, and very pertinently and truthfully, too: "Mr. Washington is not a sensationalist. Of course, he is a friend of his own race and is doing all that any man can do under the conditions which confront him to uphold his own people and that good, law-abiding, useful citizens. All he says about lynching, about the idle and the vicious and the criminal and the enforcement of law is true. Every thoughtful American citizen will agree with him to the letter, but has it ever struck Mr. Washington that the mob violence which punishes a black man in the south, or which has not been proven against him, and without his having a fair trial, is precisely similar in principle to the action of Theodore Roosevelt in dismissing in disgrace innocent men from the service of the United States because he believed or suspected that some black men had been guilty of murdering a white man. What is the difference in principle between taking a poor unfortunate Negro, charged with stealing and burning him at the stake or hanging him from a tree and riddling his body with bullets and dismissing two or three hundred black soldiers, many of whom had as honorable records as men ever had in the world, disgrace the service of the black men, certain diers, names unknown, persons unidentified, were believed to have been engaged in a disgraceful and wicked riot. There is no moral difference between the act of the president of the United States in the Browniesville affair and the hanging of a Negro on account of murdering the hardened guilty of murdering a white man. We cannot demand of mobs fair treatment for the unfortunate black man when the unfortunate black man does not get fair treatment from the president of the United States." Isn't it so? Of course it is. Roosevelt, Taft, Tillman and Varda man. Bonneville, Ore., Sept. 10, 1908. Editor Gazzare—Dear Sir: Roosevelt and Taft are as guilty as Tillman, Vardaman and company. Nay! more guilty. The preachments of Tillman, Vardaman and company, by their hearers because they come from the south, where we do not look for justice to black men. But Roosevelt and Taft come from the north. Taft (alas, that we must admit it) hails from dear old Ohio, and from them we look for even justice to all black men. But Roosevelt and Taft hence the bitter wrong in their insulting messages to congress concerning Brownsville, and Taft's disfranchisement speeches. They have done the race more harm in two years than all the "fire-enters" of the south could have done. They have clined to forgive personal injuries, but as true men you have no right to forgive injuries to the race. If you fail to use the power God has placed in your hands and defeat Taft, your children will have reason to curse you for failure to use the power he has, comes the threat of God to take it away and give it to those who will use it. Do not fear! Smash the Republican party to splinters. Then resurrect it, purified in Rooseveltism, the party of Lincoln and Grant, Phillips, Garfield and McKinley, and the party to flattery. Do your work and the nation will owe you a debt of gratitude. "Senator Foraker's reference to Mr. Taft, in his speech before the Cincinnati chamber of commerce July 1, had the fatal defect, from the porty 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. The St. Vincent, the largest and heaviest battleship ever built for the British navy, was launched at Portsmouth recently LEADERS OF NIAGARA MOVEMENT TELL OUR PEOPLE TO ARM AGAINST THE MOB They Advocate Suppression of All Crime, But Stern Defense Against Lynching—Speak Out, Too, in Opposition to Taft. Oberlin, O. "Remember Brownsville" was the slogan of the Niagara movement, in its closing meeting here September. 2 Resolutions were passed denying the Republican party and urging Afro-Americans to use every effort to defeat Taft. Foraker was upheld as the type of man for our people to support. The Niagara movement is an association organized to "lead the greatest moral battle of modern times—the fight for the abolition of the color land." The clause enduring the Republican party was approved after an earnest discussion lasting several hours. The resolutions contain two clauses, the first an injunction to the members of the race to "obey the law, defend no crime, conceal no criminal, but arm yourselves and when the mob in yours home, shoot and shoot to kill." The second, to the voters, says: "Register and vote whenever and wherever you have a right. Remember that the conduct of the Republican party toward Negroes has been a disastrous business pursuant to the Dominant Roosevelt faction has sinned in this respect beyond forgiveness. We therefore trust that every colored voter will uphold men like Joseph B. Foraker and will leave no stone unturned to defeat William H. Taft. "Remember Brownville and establish Negroes November the principle of Negro independence in voting, not only for punishing enemies, but for rebukeing false friends." FORAKER SNUBBED BY OHIO RE PUBLICAN COMMITTEE. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker was turned down cold by the Republican state executive committee at Cedar Point, August 7, as one of the speakers of the big Republican pow-wow at youngstown September 5. The cause leading to this action by the committee was the able defense of the black battalion Senator Foraker made in the present congress in opposition to the Roosevelt.-Detroit Informer. If the Taft faction in Ohio persists in its efforts to eliminate Senator Foraker from public life, or to defeat him for re-election to the senate, because of his fidelity to the laws and constitution, and that of justice and human rights, there is only one alternative. The one course for Negro Republicans is that Senator Foraker is re-elected to senate or that William H. Taft is defeated for the presidency. We would rather see the Republican party go down in defeat, and even to hades, than to witness any lack of appreciation or faltering in gratitude on our part for the friendship and able hands of our friends, while he Senator Foraker. Whatever may be the faults of a people they should never be wanting in gratitude. While we are taught that gratitude is the most grievous sin a man can commit, we believe to be in full possession of true gratitude is the richest virtue man can possess. We hope the colored citizens in the north, east and west, where they enjoy the best of life, in defense of their guns in defense of Joseph Benson Foraker, Ohio's true and honest statesman, that the enemy may taste of their true steel. If need so require, turn Ohio and any other state over to Bryan wherever they can do so by an honest ballot and win victory. Foraker. Foraker. Foraker should be Brownsville, and achieve success for Foraker, though the party fall—Littleton (N. C.) True Reformer. "No Peace Pact With Taft." Cincinnati, O—On his return here last week from Toledo and other northern Ohio points, Senator Foraker, whose "reconciliation" with Judge Taft last week Wednesday was so vividly heralded on the following Thursday, said he would pay between Taft and myself, you may put that down. The Republican state executive committee intentionally insulted me by not inviting me to attend the opening of the state campaign at Youngstown." Mr. Foraker's role in the effort to reconnect Ohio Republicans who have been refollicing over the "reconciliation." MISSES' SEMI-PRINCESS DRESS.

But if they can follow their master they will go with him to the end of the world. One must not forget that they are extraordinarily nervous and timid, and from timidity easily lost their heads and run away, they themselves know not whither. They must be well protected and made to feel that they are guarded and cared for. We must not, however, expect a cat to obey like a dog, writes Carmen Sylva in the Century. It is a free and independent little beast—a cousin of the lion—a tropical animal which needs great warmth in order to become most beautiful and as large as its nature permits. Invents Chafing Dish.

W. Walton, Condir, S. P. Ry., 717 Van Ness St., San Antonio, Tex., writes: "During the summer and fall of 1902, my annoyance from catarrh reached that stage where it was actual misery and developed alarming symptoms, such as a very deep-seated cough, night sweats, and pains in the head and chest. I experimented with several so-called remedies before I finally decided to take a thorough course of Peruna. "Twoof my friends had gone so far as to inform me that the thing for me to do was to resign my position and seek a higher, more congenial climate. Everyone thought I had consumption and I was not expected to live very long. "Having procured some Peruna, I decided to give it a thorough test and applied myself assiduously to the task of taking it, as per instructions, in the meantime. "The effects were soon apparent, all alarming symptoms disappeared and my general health became fully as good as it had ever been in my life. "I have resorted to the use of Peruna on two or three occasions since that time to cure myself of bad colds." BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL. Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou sands of Devout Pilgrims. Thousands of pilgrims from the various outlying villages and other parts of the Hooghly district poured in from an early hour in the morning to the temples of Jagernath, says the Calcutta Statesman. The image of the god is placed on a conspicuous part of the temple, so that it can be viewed at an advantage by the immense crowd of pilgrims, and there at a certain fixed hour the bathing ceremony commences. The most curious part of the festival is that water is not poured on the image of the god until a certain small bird is found sitting on the topmost banner of the temple. There is a popular belief that the bird comes from Puri, the famous place of Hindu pilgrimage, to Maheooh on the day of this festival, and his very presence is an indication that the ceremony should commence. Immediately after the bath the bird disappears. TEN YEARS OF BACKACHE. Thousands of Women Suffer in the Same Way. Mrs. Thos. Dunn, 153 Vine St. Columbus, Ohio, says: "For more than ten years I was in misery with backache. The simplest houswork completely exhausted me. I had no strength or ambition, was nervous and suffered headache and dizzy spells. After than ten years I was in misery with backache. The simplest housework completely exhausted me. I had no strength or ambition, was nervous and suffered headache and dizzy spells.

Smart street hat trimmed with striped ribbon and straw ornaments. OME interesting facts come to light when one is looking up the subject of ostrich feathers. It is profitable to become acquainted with OME interesting facts come to light when one is looking up the subject of estchr feathers. It is profitable to become acquainted with these. The ungainly bird of fine plumage, whose splendor we borrow and improve upon, is grown in South Africa and in our own country. South African species furnish the best quality of feathers. The birds are plucked for their plumes once in every eight months or three times in two years. London is the great central market for raw feathers. Buyers generally go there to obtain their stocks and buy the feathers which have been sorted into different grades and sell at so much per pound. It is curious to observe the features that make a plume more or less valuable. It is the practiced eye alone that can observe all the points of difference. Width of the flues, quality of the fiber, length, texture, color and absence or presence of scars are all to be reckoned with. The business is fascinating in all departments: The buying, manufacturing and selling. Each season is a new chapter in the long story of the ostrich plume. For this airy splendid feather has nodded upon the head of beauty and waved from the helmets of the brave for many years. Long before the helmet and the helmet feather, Burned like one burning plume together, on Lanncelot's dauntless head, or Gulnevere looked distractingly beautiful in the "light green tuft of plumes she bore," the ostrich plume had lent its state to high occasions. ARTISTIC NEEDLEWORK Two Pretty Centerpieces That May Be Easily Made. The wild carrot design, so well adapted to hand needlework, is shown here in an unusually odd centerpiece Odd Centerpiece. conception. It may be worked entirely solid or with the little eyelets to contrast, and should prove decidedly attractive when finished. This graceful 24-inch centerpiece to done in solid embroidery, with the ossoms in French knots, will prove Graceful Design. attractive to the practical needlewom an. It is a new design and is exceed ingly popular on account of its atractiveness when finished. Novel Parasol Handles Among the novel handles seen on the parasols this season is a stick supporting a frame covered with vivid green taffeta. The parasol is perfectly plain, save for a hemmitching a couple of inches above the edge, and the handle of a dull black wood, rather thick as sticks go, with carving of a black cat, fully as large as a natural kitten, at the end. The cat had immense green eyes. The fact of the animal being flat made it possible to carry the sunshade comfortably. The price is $4.50. Inexpensive Frock When one wishes to make up a frock from the inexpensive striped or colored lawns in a simple model there is nothing prettier than a skirt pulled into the belt and tucked about the bottom; the waist made in baby effect and topped by a perfectly plain yoke made from white dotted swiss. The outer edge can be cut into battlements and trimmed with a little lace frill; the sleeves, elbow length, confined with cuffs matching the yoke. This combination will be much prettier than a cheap lace. XC 03 Ostrich, especially in high grades, is a good investment for women who can afford it. It will not grow less valuable, but will be more expensive as time goes on. Although ostrich plumes hold first place in the matter of decorations for the hat and coiffure, ostrich fibers are worked up into other decorative pieces. Pompons and many alry fancy branchings are seductively placed on the latest millinery. In Fig. 1 a hat from a great French designer is covered with spiral tuffs of ostrich and a plume that suggests in coloring and form tossing seaweed. In Fig. 2 the group of three upstanding plumes illustrates the favorite way of all the myriad ways in which plumes have been placed on hats, a rich and stately decoration, while in Fig. 3 a novel mounting is shown—eccentric, but full of style. AUTUMN FASHION GOSSIP The directoire waistcoat promises to last over another season, and provision has been made for very original and elegant effects in this regard. Ribbons have been taken up enthusiastically by milliners during the summer, and in satin and velvet are to have a great vogue in the winter millinery also. Bordure satins follow in the wake of the beautiful bordered summer stuffs and some exquisite effects are secured in this line of materials. Buttons of all kinds, but particularly those covered with satin or with the costume material, are being used more lavishly than ever upon the early autumn models. Cedar red or cedar brown—which are one and the same thing and suggest the old time mahogany, though with an added softness of tone—bolds fair to be a popular autumn color and the chaudron or copper tones keep their hold upon public favor. Chiffon broadcloth appears in all the new colorings and of a lightness and softness ever surpassing that achieved by the manufacturers last year. Fancy broadcloth in one tone colorings and woven satin or chevron stripes are numerous. The deep reddish brown and brownish purple shades which have claimed attention as relieving colors this summer are exploited earnestly among the fall silks and velvets. Wild plum, concord grape, prune and various other kindred shades seem likely to figure prominently among the winter colorings. Sweeping the Floors. If salt is thrown over the carpet before sweeping it will clean the carpet and make it easier to sweep. Many housewives sprinkle water on the broom before sweeping, to collect the dust and keep it from blowing around the room. To Be Agreeable The girl who gets a grievance, who feels herself ill used, who is quite sure that nobody understands her, has a mental ailment and needs treatment. Now, I am going to prescribe. The best cure is action. Fill every hour of the day with interests. Acquire a hobby (many people speak slightly of a hobby, but a hobby is a great thing). Throw yourself with enthusiasm into all you do. Try to make everybody you meet happy. Forget that you yourself exist, and the first thing you know you will acquire that wholesome, happy state of mind which is the most beneficial of traits Winter Millinery The advance models in winter military strike out no absolutely new notes and, indeed, novelty would be difficult after a season of such variety as has been shown this summer. The first fall hats sit low upon the colfur, after the fashion with which we have become familiar, and many of them are very large and low, though odd little high crowned shapes and curious directoire bonnets such as the late summer has brought forth are included among the new felts. THE SAFE WAY TO BUY PAINT. Property owners will save a deal of trouble and expense in keeping their buildings properly painted, if they know how to protect themselves against misrepresentation and adulteration in paint materials. There's one sure and safe guide to a pure and thoroughly dependable White Lead—that's the "Dutch Boy Painter" trade mark which the National Lead Company, the largest makers of genuine White Lead, place on every package of their product. This company sends a simple and sure little outfit for testing white lead, and a valuable paint book, free, to all who write for it. Their address is Woodbridge Bldg, New York City.

Marine insurance is the oldest kind of modern insurance. Its principles were first employed in the fourteenth century by the merchants of Barcelona, in Spain, when that city was the capital of the kingdom of Catalonia and when its hardy mariners were second to none in the world. About the same time, and also at Barcelona, the famous code of maritime laws known as the "consulado del mar" was promulgated, which is the foundation of the present shipping laws of every country. When the Minister Scored A country clergyman, who recently advocated the support of a charitable object, prefers the circulation of the plate with the following address: "From the great sympathy I have witnessed in your countenances, there is only one thing I am afraid of—that some of you may feel inclined to give too much. Now, it is my duty to inform you that justice should always be a prime virtue to generosity; therefore, I wish to have it thoroughly understood that no person will think of putting anything on the plate who cannot pay his debts." The result was an overflowing collection. So Much Allike. A curious story went the rounds some little time ago about a lovely foreigner, one of whose verbal slips gave King Edward occasion for a hearty laugh. A very lively personage, with a delightful accent, she made such a favorable impression upon the king that he asked her to be his partner at bridge. "But, sir," she said. "I really don't know how to play." The king would take no denial, however, and she became rather embarrassed. "I assure you, sir," she said. "I don't know the difference between a king and a knave." There was an awkward silence, and then she realized what he had said, and was covered with confusion. The king, of course, laughed it off, and now tells the story with gusto. An Artist's Generosity The famous painter Corot and his sister were joint owners of some house property in the Faundou Polissoniere. One day one of the tenants—a tailor—came to Corot and said he could not pay his rent. “What can I do for you?” asked Corot. “I cannot intercede for you with my sister, because I am not on good terms with my family.” (As a matter of fact, Corot was regarded as a “failure” by his family.) “However, he added, “here is the money to pay the rent, only don't let anyone know I have given it to you.” The tailor after this used to return periodically when his rent was due and obtain the money from Corot, who remarked on one occasion. “I appear to be very generous, but I am not, because I get half of it back from my sister as my share of the rent.” "THE PALE GIRL." In cold weather some people think a cup of hot coffee good to help keep warm. So it is—for a short time but the drug—caffeine—acts on the heart to weaken the circulation and the reaction is to cause more chilliness. There is a hot wholesome drink which a Dak. girl found after a time, makes the blood warm and the heart strong. She says: "Having lived for five years in N. Dak, I have used considerable coffee owing to the cold climate. As a result I had a dull headache regularly, suffered from indigestion, and had no 'life' in me. "I was known as 'the pale girl', and people thought I was just weakly. After a time I had heart trouble and became very nervous, never knew what it was to be real well. Took medicine but it never seemed to do any good. "Since being married my husband and I both have thought coffee was harming us and we would quit, only to begin again, although we felt it was the same as poison to us. "Then we got some Postum. Well, the effect was really wonderful. My complexion is clear now, headache gone, and I have a great deal of energy I had never known while drinking coffee. "I haven't been troubled with indigestion since using Postum, am not nervous, and need no medicine. We have a little girl and boy who both love Postum and thrive on it and Grape-Nuts."

Curious among vegetable growths and one which is seldom seen of men is the rootless cactus of the California desert, says the Technical World. This plant, a round, compact growth, rolls about the level floor of the desert for some eight or nine months of the year, tossed hither and yen by the winds which blow with fierceness over all of California's sand plat during those months. At the coming of the rains, or rather the cloudbursts, which sweep the desert in its springtime, this cactus takes root wherever it happens to have been dropped by the last wind of which it was the plaything and immediately begins to put out all around it small shoots, which in turn become cacti, exactly like the parent plant. These young growths increase in size rapidly, sucking the moisture both from the parent plant and from the surrounding earth. The roots do not penetrate the soil deeply, but spread often over a circle whose radius is not less than ten feet. These roots, too, are small, but practically innumerable, and they get every bit of moisture and plant food to be had in the territory they cover. EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER From Terrible Eczema—Baby's Head A Mass of Itching Rash and Sores —Disease Cured by Cuticura. "Our little girl was two months old when she got a rash on her face and within five days her face and head were all one sore. We used different remedies but it got worse instead of better and we thought she would turn blind and that her ears would fall off. She suffered terribly, and would scratch until the blood came. This went on until she was five months old, then I had her under our family doctor's care, but she continued to grow worse. He said it was eczema. When she was seven months old I started to use the Cuticura Remedies and in two months our baby was a different girl. You could not see a sign of a sore and she was as fair as a newborn baby. She has not had a sign of the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke, LeSeurie, Minn. Apr. 15 and May 2, 07." READY REASONING. One Guess About Venus of Milo Proved to Be Wrong. They stood before the reproduction of the Venus of Melos. "Her hands must have been beautiful" said one. "Very," assented the other. "I wonder what position they were in?" I have a theory that she was represented as busied at her toilet. One hand probably held a small mirror. "And the other a powder puff, eh?" "And the other a powder puff, eh? But that theory won't work." "And why not?" "Had she been at her toilet her mouth would have been full of hair-plins."—Louisville Courier-Journal. AN INGENIOUS BEGGAR.
