TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 9. IN UNION THERE IS STRENTH THE GREAT COMPOSER S. COLERIDGE TAYLOR SIMPLY SKINS A PREJUDICED VIRGINIAN. IN AN ENGLISH MAGAZINE Lying Attacks Exposed—Malicious Misrepresentation Showed Up—Unjust and Unfair Criticism Completely Wiped Out—Splendid! "Reynolds," a widely-read English magazine, recently published two articles on the race question in America. One writer, C. Kelly (white), a Virginian. This article was marked by the usual misrepresentations. The other was written by S. Coleridge Taylor, upon the request of the editor of "Reynolds." Mr. Taylor wrote the following headed: "In Defense of the Nero": ```markdown ``` S. COLERIDGE-TAYLOR "The remarks on the Negro problem in America made by Mr. Walter C. Kelly (the Virginia judge) in a recent issue of 'Reynolds' present a curiously one-sided view; I may say a distorted view, for it is that of a southerner, and therefore especially a prejudiced one, going much further than the ordinary white. I should like to place before the readers of 'Reynolds, some other aspects of the, for it has other aspects. Circumstances, one going much further than the ordinary white, no special facilities for probing it. And I may here take advantage of the opportunity to correct a mistake about myself which has gained currency. It has been stated again and again that I was born in the West Indies. This is not the case. I was born in London, in Red Lion street to be precise. My father was an African medical man, my mother English, and my whole surroundings and education, I need hardly add, have been English, also my first visit to the States, when it may be remembered, I conducted a series of concerts, and, if I may say so without immodesty, was very successful. The fact that I was English, and that American, seemed to do away with the race prejudice that does undoubtedly exist, and I was welcomed and accepted, and I was denied, necessarily as if I had been entirely, instead of only partly, white. However, I do not want to linger over these personal details save in so far as they explain why, during my visits to the States, my opportunities of judging the problem have been of an unusual kind. For I mingled freely with both black and white communities, getting a much more intimate knowledge of the problem to a white. And I assert confidently that, save perhaps so far as certain parts of the south may be concerned, Mr. Kelly's statements and opinions as to the Negro race are entirely misleading. I myself have seen Negro communities, lawyers, doctors, etc. I have visited their homes, and found them living in the same style, with the same comforts and elegances as white men of the same financial standing. Of course, the Negroes of the States, the Negroes; but, class for class, their mode of living practically differs in respect from that of the whites. Negroes in large numbers attended my concerts. At Washington I think the audiences, very large ones, were about equally divided. Wherever I went Negroes came to hear the music. That shows, even making allowances for racial sympathy, that the Negroes predeciates music. For must be remembered my series of concerts were devoted to the best music, and it is scarcely conceivable that a race, so hopelessly inferior as Mr. Kelly makes them out to be, would be attracted by programs devoted to the great composers. In addition, it must not be forgotten that the prices of soats were fairly high. It argues, therefore, a fair standard, material, necessary for the success of the different cities of the States, should have been able to pay to attend; as well as a fair standard of education and of artistic appreciation that they should have been willing to expend their money in this way. Somehow I am irresistibly reminded of the old music, and it is hopelessly inferior as Mr. Kelly makes them out to be, would be attracted by programs devoted to the task of making things unpleasant, for the white man. Whereas, as everybody knows, there never would have been a Negro question if the whites had not deliberately brought blacks over from Africa for purposes of slavery. So that the question is entirely of their making, and they should bear the responsibility for the unpleasant, instead of whining about the Negro's double dose of original sin. And, let me add here by way of parenthesis, it is extremely doubtful if America to-day would or could be in its present advanced and thriving position had it not been built up in the early days by black labor. THE GAZETTE SPANISH WAR VETERANS The Annual Encampment Enlivened with Several Skirmishes. Boston, Mass.—The Fifth Annual Encampment of the United Spanish War Veterans was held here September 1, 2 and 3, and was marked by several exciting scenes and considerable disorder. A skirmish came when it was sought to draw the color line. When the matter of declaring Admiral George J. Washington, D. C., an "unattached camp," was called up, a scene of excitement ensued. Commander Piper, of Thomas camp, who is an Afro-American letter carrier of Washington, got the floor. He declared that Afro-American veteran soldiers and sailors were only seeking and did demand full recognition as American soldiers and sailors, who had tendered their services and their lives to the government when they were sent to a foreign foe. He was cheered when he asked that the members of his camp be recognized as Spanish War Veterans as a concrete right, and be attached to the Department of the District of Columbia. National Commander Hale left the chair, and declared that Thomas camp was not associated with the Department of the District of Columbia, but was not associated with the Department then adopted by a majority vote designating Thomas camp as an unattached camp, and requiring it to report and pay its per capita taxes to the national headquarters. This Man Espouses His Rescuer's Politics Springfield, Ill.—Eugene W. Chaffin has added at least one vote to the Prohibition total by his rescue of an Afro-American hard pressed by the mob here during the riots. Wesley L. Edwards, who was saved, has been arrested in the possession of the secretaries of state, and announced that he would follow Mr. Chaffin's banner for the rest of the campaign.

THEY DARE NOT TELL PLAIN TRUTH "NATIONAL INDULGENCE IN THE PERILOUS LUXURY OF RACE PREJUDICE." LYNCHING, LOGICAL SEQUENCE! "The Lesson of Springfield"—Race Prejudice, a Moloch—it is a Liar—Kill it—No Compromise with Such a Pest—The Cosmopolitan Dinner a Right Move—A Strong Article. Among the numerous comments on the horrors recently enacted at Springfield, III, every moral is drawn except the one most obvious and most important of all. The southern papers find their grief considerably mitigated, owing to the fact that this outrage took place in a northern state. The northern papers talk wisely about the rigid and impartial enforcement of law, and that their hands with an attitude of duty fully performed. Not one of them dares to tell the plain truth, which is that the present villain, like so many in the past and so many more yet to come, is the strictly logical sequence of national indulgence in the perilous luxury of race prejudice, and the constant formation of evil passions in the ever receptive mob. It is high time to put the guilt where it belongs. Men who are continually fanning the flames of racial antipathy are undoubtedly sarcere in their abhorrence of such crimes as that of Springfield; yet it is certain that without the race hatred inspired by their teachings, these things would speedily cease to be. Whatever the immediate cause or progenitor of such crimes, that the inflamed mob quickly extends its cowardly attack to such members of the hated race as can readily be reached. The cure for these evils can easily be named, imbus much as it is identical with the cure for most other national sins. In brief, it may be designated as fundamental right thinking. When the principle of equal human rights regardless of race or color, shall leave all society, from the highest to the lowest, we shall not be obliged to apologize for such outrages as that which occurred in the United States, Russia, and a few odd corners of Europe, where a bitter race or religious animosity prevails, that lynchings and mob massacres are possible in the twentieth century. Kill race prejudice, and we shall have no cause for humiliation over the existence of such flendish barbarism in our country as cannot be even compre hended in England, France or Germany. Let this vicious principle live and spread, and we shall still be compre hended to see that States unranked low in the United States justify by the nations of the old World. There is no other remedy, and no excuse for not adopting this one. Race prejudice is a Moloch, which ever demands to be fed with blood. It is antithetic to all the higher ideals of our civilization, and in strict opposition to every fundamental principle of democracy. All real progress requires the human brotherhood: race prejudice aims to annihilate the spirit of fraternity in mankind. Civilization breeds gentleness and courtesy; race prejudice stimulates roughness and violence. Democracy opens wide the door of opportunity to all men; race prejudice slams the door in the face of those who are victims of a mere act in its repudiation is despicably mean in its repudiation of the morality of fair play. It is a liar from the beginning, falsifying the plainest facts of science, repudiating the most obvious lessons of history, hypocritically trampling on the clearest teachers of the religion its apologists falsely pretend to accept and obey. It is uniformly a persecutor. Knowing its own inherent vileness, it lives in perpetual dread of exposure, and uses the midnight assassin in all ages to stifle the voice of truth. In the centers of race prejudice, free speech is a thing unknown. Tar and feathers, the scourge and the arms of the midnight assassin, are its appropriate means of enforcing the decrees. Being an evil tree, it inevitably brings forth evil fruit. There can be no comedy in the foolishness in trucking to its insolence, we have already paid dearly. The time has come for a radical change of attitude. The dinner of the Cosmopolitan society, which brought together in fraternal fellowship a number of members of the white and colored races for the earnest consideration of great national issues which concern both races may now be seen to have been involved in these matters aroused in menaments aroused in the organs of race prejudice in the south and the still meaner trucklers to a false sentiment in the north, proved this. To draw the fire of the enemy and learn his actual location, is often of vital importance in military strategy. We now know, beyond a perennial court that a race invasive; that its essence is virulent hate; that it demands absolute and humiliating surrender of principle from all who cherish a nobler human ideal; that its loud-mouthed pretense of seeking to safeguard racial purity is merely a mask to hide the hideous visage of oligarchic despotism. We must have always found their account in setting human beings against one another by means of race and caste divisions. It is a very old game, and one that has often been successful. As long as it prevails, a fearful stumbling block lies in the path of all social and economic progress. We must fight our reform efforts, race, color, creed and social station, before we may hope to win it for any. To begin a campaign for human rights and handicap ourselves at the outset by narrowing our interest to the welfare of one race alone, is to invite and deserve defeat. It is not sufficient, however, to support legislation which shall open equal opportunities to all races. Such legislation already prevails in Illinois, and yet the Springfield outrages took place. The seat of race prejudice is their own mine, until it is thoroughly lost in the lack of Springfields. True democracy demands that we rate every individual in strict accordance with personal merit entirely ignoring all accidents of birth and color. As long as we lump together as necessarily inferior, socially or in any other respect, all the members of any given race, regardless of their role in the development, we have not grasped the democratic ideals. This ought to be a plaititude so obvious as to render its repetition unnecessary; but unfortunately it is recognized only by the tiny handful who have evolved to the point of doing their own thinking. The cultured snobbery, which merely distorts the reality, coldly disarranges the efforts of members of the Parish race to aspire to honorable recognition, is the same spirit which slavishly copied by less cultured classes, filters down from stratum to stratum, until in the coarser-veined mob it enquires in violent outbreaks at the slightest pretext. To one degree, the must begin at the top. This is the way which has never been tried, and which alone is fundamental. It lies within ourselves to begin. The enemies of race prejudice must take the aggressive, and fight the monster wherever it rears its ugly head. Let us quit truckling and apologizing, and stand for justice. We must not whether it gives offense or not. The spirit of Garrison and Phillips is needed to-day, to complete the work left half done when their mighty spirits passed on. Remember Springfield! JAMES F., MORTON JR., (white.) Negro with a Capital "N." Negro with a Capital "N." We are sometimes asked by why spell Smith with a capital "N" when so few other publications do so. We do it for the same reason that we spell Smith with a capital "S." Just as "smith" was once a common descriptive term indicative of occupation and came thence to be a family name, so "negro" a common descriptive term indicating the color of a certain race, has come to be a race name. This is a kind of transformation through which many words have gone, from common to common ones—as from smith to Smith or reversely from to boycott. When these transpositions of meaning take place, they ought to be indicated by the ordinary rules of capitalization, simply as a matter of good literary form. We should as soon think of writing "mr. smith" as a name of a common one, more conventionally, but that is not a sufficient reason for disregarding it. In some connections it has a significance of respect which may make its misuse offensive. The spelling of Negro with a little "n" may well be offensive to sensitive persons of that race, and we see no other reason for refusing to capitalize the word than a positive intention to offend or indifference to giving offense, unless it be ignorance of English usage. We are therefore glad to note that at least one periodical of the first edition of this book usually follows our rule as to the word Negro. Has not this word become as truly a proper name as German, Jew or Quaker? The Color Tone of Righteousness The Color Tone of Righteousness. To the intelligence and conscience of those of our good white friends who are Democrats down to the color line, but no further, we commend these true words from a Negro, S. Laing Williams, whose democracy, illusion of the office, race limitations; "There are some things about which there can be no compromise. A righteous man is neither white nor black. He is simply a righteous man."—Chicago Public. QUIET BUT PRETTY WEDDING. The Bride and Groom's Presents to the Maid of Honor and Best Man. Ann Arbor, Mich.—Miss Leota F. Heuson and Mr. Alex. L.

SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER. Our Great and Good Friend Maliciously Attacked by Hearst, Roosevelt and Taft — Brownsville Again. An old maxim of law tersely puts the quintessence of a fair trial into the maxim "Audiatur et altera pars," i. e., "the other party should also be heard." It will be well for those tasty judges of the charges, of the odoriferous Hearst papers, against Senator Foraker to take cognizance of the fact that this accused man promised to give his version of the subject under consideration to the public, and all just and decent men should and will hold back their judgment until this has fully been done. The American people, white and black, are not all unjust, malicious or envious men, glad at the "downfall" of one of their great ones. The worst feature of the press opinions Hearst's "yellow brigade" is so eager to impress on the people, is the "glee" with which some journals place the matter before their readers. None are worse morally in this respect than the organs of a Brooklyn Democratic boss and an Ohio Republican boss "which try to level even the president of the United States down to their own lowness by asserting" that the president's eyes "will be luminous with glee and that he will have a sardonic laughter." Let us hope for his own sake, and his country's no less, that this judgment does wrong to Mr. Roosevelt, who cannot morally afford to "stoop as low" as the "organs" to "conquer an opponent." Of course the Brownysville affair is drawn into the matter by the "organs" in question, and probably by other mental and moral sophists. But that is a thing apart and will have to be judged on its merits by themselves, regardless of the character of its judges. To draw it into the matter simply opens up a view into the small souls and narrow intellects of certain malevolent people.

C., by and for colored people, said in its last issue: "The recent state convention of Republicans in Charlotte was quite an ideal affair from the standpoint of the followers of the illy-white prophete, who was there except to assist in the election of one to carry water to super-heated delegates of the white variety. Nothing to suggest that there are 30,000 black voters in the Old North State." At one stage of the proceedings of the convention a black fringe of onlookers were observed on the back row of the center section of the balcony. It was a black office, The Star of Zion, colored, of this city, said that the colored spectators had at first sat toward the front of the balcony, but a policeman approached them and in kindly manner told them to move back. They asked why and were told that the people up there were the office's officers on a platform. The black man does really appear to be out of it.

Not 150 people heard the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, internal reve- nue collector of New York City, speak in the great, large Forest Street arm ory in this city last Tuesday evening.

It Is now perfectly clear to every body, and. especially to every loyal ‘Afro-American voter, that a vote for ‘Taft is one for an enemy of the race and of Senator Foraker whose elimin- ation from publtc ife he was secretly aiding. Roosevelt's publication of his (Tatt’s) Tetter Tuesday morning “let the cat out of the bag.” The presi- dent's two public appeals of the past week and the one of last week show Clearly in what desperate straits the Taft candidacy is. It does not take a prophet or the son of a prophet to seo that the big fat ex-secretary of war is headed toward a stinging re- buke and defeat in November; primar. ily because of his indorsemenit of Roosevelt and Roosevelt's policies; secondarily, because of the opposigion of loyal Afro-American, Hebrew and organized labor Republicans through- out the country; and because of the factional fights and disturbances among Republicans of New York, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Wiinols and other northern states. It 1s indeed gn embarrassing position, in the face of Taft's statement the first of the week that Roosevelt's publication of his (Taft's) lefter on Tuesday places Candidate Taft in, It is anything but 5 eonsistent ome, to say the least. ‘THE ROOSEVELT-TAFT ATTACK ON FORAKER. Roosevelt's formal statement issued Bondsy at Oyster Bay containing Dalt's letter of July 20, 1907, opposing the endorsement of Senator Foraker for reelection to the United States senate, is remarkable document par- ticularly because It shows how low the man will stoop in an effort to misrepresent facts in connection with the Brownsville matter, and to injure his MASTER, Senator Foraker. When the latter literally “skinned” Roose- vyelt at the Gridiron dinner in Wash- ington, D. C., last year because of the latter's inexcusable and insulting ref- erence to the Brownsville contro- versy, then on in®the United States senate, as an “academic” discussion, he not only impressed all present, but later on the entire country, with the fact that he was unquestionably, far and away, the president's superior in point of ability as well as experience as an orator and statesman. This incident, coupled with the senator's magnificent and successful fight for “The Black Battalion,” and his oppo- sition to the administration's pet meas- ures (the railroad rate and statehood bills), have apparently so angered Roosevelt as to make him simply un- controllable whenever an opportunity. be it ever so despicable, arises to strike at the senator. In spite of the fact that but a day or two previous he bad issued a second appeal for Candidate Taft within a week, Roose- velt issued that Oyster Bay attack of Monday, so “delighted” was he with William Randolph Hearst's malicious and lying attacks upon the senator, and, too, In the face of the following ‘Sweeping and general denial from Mr. Foraker: “Neither the Standard Oil Co, ‘or any other company or individual has ever paid me a cent on account of any public service, nor has that com- pauy or anybody else ever even sug. gested to me any compensation or re- ward of any kind in consideration of support for any bill or opposition to any bill, or for any action of any na- ture whatever.” That “yellow journals” of the stripe of Hearst's miserable sheets, most Democratic papers and certain over- zealous Taft-Roosevelt publications should persist in reiterating the con- temptible charges in the face of the senator's sweeping denial, is not near- ly 80 surprising as the fact that the president of the United States will stoop to the low level the afore- mentioned publications occupy, to vent his spleen and to try to “get even" with Senator Foraker. His ef- fort to pose, and to shove Candidate Taft into the Hmelight, boasting of the alleged reforms he claims his ad- ministration has sought to inaugurate, shows the overweoning conceit that has characterized the man in a marked degree ever since his unfortu- nate elevation to the presidency. It is positively disgusting and one of the principle reasons why thousands ‘of Republicans will refuse to yote this fall for Taft, who has made the fatal mistake of endorsing all of Roose yelt’s policies, If ever there was a menace to the safety and prosperity of this country Roosevelt, as. presi- dent, has been and is that menace. His statement that “the entire agita- tion over Brownsville was in large part not a genuine agitation on be- half of colored men at all” is not only untrue but only another one of his many insults to the great mass of our people. The man has grossly insulted us almost every time he has issued a statement anent Brownsville, He seems to have absolutely no respect or care for us, whether in or out of the army, and if we fall to do every- thing in our power to help bring about the defeat of Taft in November there will be no reason why he or any other man in public life should have any. Even Taft in his letter of last year arguing against the senator's endorse- ment had the “gall” to refer to, Roose- velt's and his outrageous discharge withouthonor of “The Black Bat- talion” as “an important but inch dental matter, magnified (by Senator Foraker) to embarrass: the (Roose yelt) administration, using in this, without seruple, a blind race preju- ice to accomplish his main purpose.” Another rank insult which ts only exceeded in {ts grossness by Roose- velt’s latest effort along the same line Is there no limit? White Soldiers Not Dismissed. At Laramie, Wyo, on August 9th, 82 white soldiers criminally assaulted @ young woman, leaving her uncon- selous upon the ground and her es- cort beaten into insensibility with a gun. Twenty-six men alleged to have deen tmplicated in the attack are un- der arrest. The others are still at large, and the big daily papers have Kept awfully quiet about the matter. Every effort was made to keep the assault a secret, but it leaked out. Now, why were’ those white soldiers not iynched and burned? Why were they not branded as outlaws, and why ‘were not the headlines over the as- sault in the daily papers in box-car letters on the front page? Why didn’t Mr, Roosevelt dismiss the whole artll- lery battery in disgrace, without a trial?’ Why were not these things done? Was it because these were white soldiers? Will some of our Afro-American brothers who are yell- ing themselves hoarse for Taft and Roosevelt. answer these questions ?— The Portland (Ore.)

Peeve Editor Gazette—My Dear Harry: I notice in a recent issue of The Ga zette that you are criticising the gov- emmor.on account of the failure to re- moye 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 off- cial standing until last winter when, the legislature providing for the state taking over the property, etc., of the board, it was made a state institution. Heretofore the members of the board have been selected by the delegates to the state agricultural meeting held tn January of each year. The new Jaw provides that this soctety 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 and the governor, following the spirit of the law, appointed the ten then serving. Having gone thus far, your know!- edge of state affairs will show you clearly that the governor has no pow- ‘er 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 off Cial misconduct, or such conduct, after his appointment, as plainly renders him unfit for the position—at any rate, it must be a cause that would pass 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. Tam aware that this law says the governor shall have power to. re- move members at any time, but ft Is clear that the legisiature did not intend to give the governor any special power in_ this ease, but merely to confer the same power he is given with reference to other appointive positions. You certainly appreciate the fact, ‘as you seem to indicate in your edi torial, that Goy, Harris would not wantonly do anything inimical to the colored race. In his speech at Youngs- town to-morrow he will express him- self clearly on the subject, and his ‘War record ought to protect him to some extent at least, Then, Harry, there are some other things that I can ‘not pat in a letter that ought to oper- ‘ate in the governor's favor. I hope I may see you soon. But, in the mean- time, for the sake of our old triend- ship'and for the preservation of your reputation for fair play, I ask you to suspend judgment in this case. Very truly yours, OPHA MOORE. Cleveland. 0. Sept. 11. 1908. ‘Mr, Opha Moore, Care Executive Of- ‘fice, Capitol Building, Columbus, 0.— Friend Opha: Copy of the governor's speech at Youngstown _recelved. Thank you. In reply to that part of ft relative to the Negro, please say to the governor that the Ohio Democratic platform {s not any more silent on the: question of the “rights of the Negro” (cap N) than the Republican party hasbeen -as a matter of (action) fact for the last 20 years. ‘That is why the continued repeating of the “hog-wash” in the Ohlo Repub- Mean (and national, too) platform {s 30 meaningless to’ intelligent Afro- Americans everywhere, and especially here in Ohio where they (the intelll- gent 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. On the contrary, the Republican party fn the national convention at Chicago not only indorsed “Lily-Whiteism” when it seated 213 delegates from the south, simply because they were for Taft, and unseated the same number of seqularly elected delogates (white and black) because they were not for ‘Taft, violating a fundamental principle of the Republican party, but also per- sisted in the nomination of Tatt in spite of the protests of practically all ‘of our leading men, representing as they do, so potent a’ factor of the Re publican party. AS you and every one else know, Mr. Taft in his speech in Greensboro North Carolina, in 1908, condoned, if indeed he did not practically indorse, disfranchisement in the south. In a speech in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1907, he not only indorsed “'Jim-Crow” ears in the south for my people, but took pains to try to. show them how to make such laws’ stronger and bet- ter from the southern prejudiced view- point. 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 Brownsville outrage and those most 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 per mit me to write, you will readily see or be able to understand the position of the average intelligent member of my race when it comes to matters po- Utical this fall ‘The governor's retention of “Cham- paign County Lynching” Ganson on the state agricutlural 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 with my class of people. A do-nothing policy, if 1 understand your letter cor- Tectly, will only make bad matters worse, and show that he is not dis- posed’ even to make an effort to get rid of Ganson, 1 am sorry that this seems to be the disposition at the capitol, because up until the Ganson exposition, personally I felt toward the governor ag Indicated in the edi- torlal In my paper last and this week, Very truly yours, HARRY C, SMITH. THAT BURTON ENDORSEMENT, AEE SOTERY 6) VET eeRe COMIN, Republican 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 communtty. It was the work of pro- fessional politicians who favor the candidacy of William H. Taft for the presidency, and who are opposed to the reelection to the United States senate of Senator Joseph Benson For- aker, because they favor his elimina. tion from publle life, presumably as a result of his participation in the Brownsville controversy—bis 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 en- dorsement are not only pledged to yote for Mr. Burton “first, last and all the time,” but are also pledged to vote against the re-election of Sena- tor Foraker. As Mr. Burton cannot possibly hope to be elected to the United States senate next winter be- cause southern Ohio {s entitled to the honor and will without a doubt com- mand it, It 1s easy to be seen that his only object in securing the empty en- dorsement 1s to command Cuyahoga’s 14 Yotes im the next state assembly (it the Republican candidates nomt- nated in last, Saturday's convention are elected in November) and to keep them from being cast for Senator Foraker. This being true, as it cer tainly is, the duty of every voter in this county, particularly every Atro- American voter, who is loyal to Ohio's senior United States senator 1s clear. They must do all in their power to prevent the election of the 14 assem- bly nominees of last Saturday's Cuya- hoga county Republican convention because they are pledged to vote for Mr. Burton and against Senator For- aker, Last fall we tried to make it lear to all people of this community that Mr, Burton was tnalterably op- posed to the senator. This fall Mr. Burton makes it unnecessary for us to do 80, again, as the result of his polt Uclan-triends’ action in the last Sat- urday's convention, referred to repeat- edly in this leader. There {s no ques- tiea now; every vote cast this fall for the legislative nominees on the Repub- lican ticket of this county will assist in the elimination from public life of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. Vindication for Senator Foraker, Senator Foraker continues in the role of evil genfus of the Republican fold. He can neither speak nor refrain from speaking without disturbing his colleagues’ peace of mind. The worst feature of the truly lamentable situa: tion is that the senator is so often right. The circuit court for the east- ern district of Pennsylvania holds the commodity clause of the rate law un. constitutional 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 hot strengthen his bold on his pres ent place at Wasbington.—Cleveland Plain Dealer, A QUEER CONDITION OF AFFAIRS “REPUBLICAN.” | With Presidential Candidate Win: the rebellion general, Gov.

Advocate has the following, which, to say the least, ig decidedly ‘interesting and goes to show that the indifference toward Taft fs more general than many would have us believe: “The Taft and Sherman political club has about fizzled out. Its promoters found that the colored voters’ pelitical enthusiasm at this time was not centered Taftward, and they gave It up as a bad job. ' And how comes the announcement that a Bryan and Kern political club will be organized, and, to cap the climax, one of the erstwhile prominent leaders in the now defunct Taft and Sherman elub will issue the call and open the meeting. And, judging by the many expressions of approval from the vot- ers, the initial meeting will be largely attended.” Henry T. Eubanks’ nomination in last Saturday's county convention, dic- tated by “Bill” Crawford (white) was ‘an awful blow to “Dode" Green and his friends and to Harry Davis and his friends, and many others. As Eu- banks is pledged to vote for Burton, if elected, and to vote against Sen- ator Foraker, the duty of every loyal member of the race, a voter in this county, is clear. So throw off any dis. ‘appointment you may have felt, and get busy. The entire list of Cuyahoga county candidates for the assembly is pledged to vote against the senator, if elected, so there is only one thing to do, and that is to do everything in our power to defeat them in No- vember. This is a DUTY, if we prop- erly appreciate Senator Foraker, Then there gre Taft, Treadway, Kennedy, Cline ang Hirsttus who must also ge down totdefeat!

Twirling Tray Does Much to Expedite Table Service. ‘There Is a novelty extremely smart ag well as sensible, that solves a problem of many a housekeeper, both those with plenty of servants and those with none. This is a twirling tray to expedite table service. ‘To have the meals of a large family daintily, even comfortably, served re- quires a skilled waitress.

A few small-fry local politicians of color and several from outside the city "banqueted" themselves in the Clayton block Monday and Tuesday night after the alleged emancipation celebration in the Forest Street armory.

Mrs. Hallam (white), the Springfield, ill, woman who wanted to have her picture printed on postal cards and sold in order to make some money, after she claimed she had been assaulted in her home on August 14, has completely broken down and did not assault her, in an affidavit which she freely and willingly signed recently, requesting State's Attorney Hatch to release him from the Bloomington jail. It is not out of place to state right here that "the blood of the innocent" Negroes who met their death at the hands of the mob, is splintered and longest day that she lives cannot escape from realizing that her foolish or childish tale was the direct cause of so much bloodshed," and the following is the tale she told, which was printed in large type, with most glaring headlines in setting forth her old tale. She claimed that at or near the end of her life she had some Negro from her bed, out of the house through the back yard to an outhouse, where she was assaulted; after which she 'leaped over a back fence' and notified her mother-in-law." While the so-called assault was on, she claimed that she never lost consciousness, and yet notwithstanding the fact that she never heard one heard any scuffling or noise. With these facts in mind she had the nerve to relate her tale of assault, and the morning after it was supposed to have been pulled off, she was at the police station looking as bright and fresh as anyone could look.—Chicago Broad-Ax. THE BLACK "BREAD AND BUT TER" BRIGADE. Several Misstatements Corrected Afro-Americans for Foraker and Against Taft and Roosevelt. Cleveland, O., Sept. 23, 1908. The following letter, which is self-explanatory was on Wednesday sent to the editors of The Press, The Leader, The Plain Dealer and The News: Dear Sir:—Please correct a statement in Tuesday's issue of your paper which announced that a meeting had been held in this city earlier in the day at which "colored voters skipped at Foraker." No such thing was in Cleveland or anywhere else in this country. It does not people of this community great injustice to have such a statement made in public print. One thing more, the statement, in a daily daily paper (The News), of the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, internal revenue collector of New York City, that "ten out of every 14 colored voters of this country are wearing in some way their feeling in some way their feeling and absolutely impossible that it is a matter of surprise that even a member of the Roosevelt black "bread and butter" brigade (federal office-holders) would make it. The great mass of Afro-American voters will either vote for Taft or not. This tells A goodly number have announced their intention to vote for Bryan. One thing sure, the number of votes from this class of people that Taft will get will not make him round shouldered to carry them. Mr. Anderson does not owe his position and success in life to President Roosevelt, as stated in several of our local papers Tuesday, but does owe his support in the chairpard, deceased, former publisher of the New York Mall and Express. As a matter of fairness and justice to all interested I ask the publication of this communication. Yours respectfully, HARRY C.

You take a good deal of risk if you buy white lead without having absolute assurance as to its purity and quality. You know white lead is often adulterated, often misrepresented. But there's no need at all to take any chances. The "Dutch Boy Painter" trade mark of the National Lead Company, the largest makers of genuine white lead, on a package of White Lead, is a positive guarantee of purity and quality. It's as dependable as the Dollar Sign. If you'll write the National Lead Company, Woodbridge Bldg., New York City, they will send you a simple and certain outfit for testing white lead, and a valuable book on paint, free. EGOISM. Mistress—Bridget, it always seems to me that the crankiest mistresses get the best cooks. Cook—Ah, go on wid yer blarney! Wanted to Go the Same Way. We were taking a little trip into the country. The only vacant seats in the train were turned so as to face each other. I told my little girl, four years old, to take the seat in front of me, as riding backward would not make her sick. She hesitated, and said: "I know it won't make me sick, but if I ride backward will I go to the same place you are going to?" Much Safer Size. Mistress—Are you not rather small for a nurse? I don't, indeed, madam! The children don't fall so far when I drop them!—Stray Stories. A You won't tell your family doctor the whole story about your private illness—you are too modest.

From her vast correspondence with sick women during the past thirty years she may have gained the very knowledge that will help your case. Such letters as the following, from grateful women, establish beyond a doubt the power of LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND to conquer all female diseases, Mrs. Norman R. Barnett, of Allen- town, Pa., writes: "Ever since I was sixteen years of age I had suffered from an organic dementation and female weakness; in consequence I had developed a fear of physician said I must go through an operation to get well. A friend told me for Lydia E.

GIRL'S AND CHILD'S FRENCH DRESS. Paris Pattern No. 2517, All Seams Allowed—Flowered or plain dimity, organde or lawn makes up pretty in this design, that is particularly becoming and much worn by the growing girl. The long full waist is gathered into the round voke of lace insertion and blouse slightly at the front. The very short, full skirt is attached to this waist under a narrow belt of the material, and the short puff sleeves are gathered into bands of the insertion and finished with a narrow edging of lace. If desired the model may be made with long bishop sleeves. The pattern is in four sizes, two to eight years. For a child of six years the dress requires $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards of material 27 inches wide, $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 36 inches wide, or $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 42 inches wide, with three yards of insertion and $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard of edging to trim. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper, sure to give size and number of pattern. NO. 2517. SIZE...... NAME...... TOWN...... STREET AND NO...... STATE..... DRESS Paris Pattern No. 2550, All Seams Allowed. If made up in heavy tan tinen, this little apron is very serviceable for school wear, and it is so simply constructed that the woman with only a slight knowledge of sewing will have no trouble in putting it together. The sleeves are cut in one with the front and back; the only seams being under the shoulders and at the under arms. The wide sash ends, which extend from the underarm seams are of the material. The square neck and lower edge of the sleeves are scalloped and hand-embroidered with red embroidery cotton. The model may be developed to advantage in Persian lawn or nainook. The pattern is in five sizes—one to nine years. For a child of five years the apron requires 2½ yards of material 27 inches wide, or 1½ yard 36 inches wide. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to Pattern Department of the paper. Write plainly, please plainly, to give sure address and number of pattern. Anticipation Worse Than Realization. Men are so unanimously eager in the pursuit of things which, far from having any inherent real good, are varinshed over with a specious and deceitful gloss, and contain nothing answerable to their appearances. Hence, it proceeds, on the other hand, that in those things which are called evils there is nothing so hard and terrible as the general cry of the world threatens.—Lord Bollingbroke. Girls Learn Trade Lessons. Civic clubwomen in Philadelphia have opened a school where girls may learn dressmaking, millinery and other things during the summer that will fit them to take in the fall positions in which they have mastered the early stages of the work. The classes are very popular, young girls taking advantage of the opportunities offered. The Rank of Merit. No man will be in truth superior to another without superior merit; and that rank can no more be taken from us than the merit which establishes it—Lord Bolingbroke. ONE KIDNEY GONE But Cured After Doctors-Said There Was No Hope. Sylvanus O. Verrill, Milford, Me, says: "Five years ago a bad injury paralyzed me and affected my kidneys. My back hurt me terribly, and the urine was bad I discolored. Doctors said my right kidney was prickly cally dead. They said I could never walk again. I read alffected me and affected my kidneys. My back hurt me terribly, and the urine was badly discolored. Doctors said my right kidney was practically dead. They said I could never walk again. I read of Doan's Kidney Pills and began using them. One box made me stronger and freer from pain. I kept on using them and in three months was able to get out on crutches, and the kidneys were acting better. I improved rapidly, discarded the crutches and to the wonder of my friends was soon completely cured." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. TOO TRUE TO BE GOOD.

DEEP CRACKS FROM ECZEMA Could Lay Slate-Pencil in One—Hands in Dreadful State—Permanent Cure in Cuticura. "I had eczema on my hands for about seven years and during that time I had used several so-called remedies, together with physicians' and drugstores' prescriptions. The disease was so bad on my hands that I could lay a slate-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil. I kept using remedy after remedy, and while some gave partial relief, none relieved as much as did the first box of Cuticura Ointment. I made a purchase of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my hands were perfectly cured after two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap were used. W. H. Dean, Newark, Del. Mar, 28, 1907." Women Fishermen On the coast of Holland, Belgium and Northern France the fishermen are a familiar sight, with their great hand nets and quiet costumes. Many of the towns have distinctive costumes by which their women can be recognized anywhere. Those of Mana-Kirkke, near Ostend, wear trousers and loose blouses, while their heads and shoulders are covered by shawls. They carry their nets into the sea and scoop up vast quantities of shrimps and prawns, with an occasional crab or lobster and many small fish. They often wade out till the water is up to their necks, and they remain for hours at a time in water above their knees, rarely returning until their baskets are full. A Doctor's Disadvantage "In one way," said a collector, "it is easier to get money from a doctor than anybody else who is slow pay. It is more difficult for him to swear that he hasn't been able to make any collections himself since the first of the year. A doctor's reception room is open to all possible patients. A collector with a grain of ingenuity can find a way to worm out of the men on the waiting list information as to the terms of payment. After an interview with three or four persons who have paid spot cash for treatment and who have told the collector they paid, it takes a mighty nerve on the part of the doctor to insist that he hasn't a dollar to his name." Microscopic Writing A remarkable machine made by a lately deceased member of the Royal Microscopical society for writing with a diamond seems to have been broken up by its inventor. A specimen of its works is the Lord's prayer of 227 letters, written in the 1,237,000 of a square inch, which is at the rate of 53,880,000 letters or 15 complete Bibles, to a single square inch. To decipher the writing it is necessary to use a 1-12-inch objective, which is the high power lens physicians employ for studying the most minute bacteria. AFRAID TO EAT. "Several years ago I was actually starving," writes a Me, girl, "yet dared not eat for fear of the consequences. "Many kinds of food were tried, all with the same discouraging effects. I steadily lost health and strength until I was but a wreck of my former self. "Having heard of Grape-Nuts and its great merits, I purchased a package, but with little hope that it would help me—I was so discouraged. "I found it not only appetizing but that I could eat it as I liked and that it satisfied the craving for food without causing distress, and if I may use the expression, 'it filled the bill.' "For months Grape-Nuts was my principal article of diet. I felt from the very first that I had found the right way to health and happiness, and my anticipations were fully realized. "With its continued use I regained my usual health and strength. To-day I am well and can eat anything I like, yet Grape-Nuts food forms a part of my bill of fare." "There's a Reason."

General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. SHE GOT HER MAN—HAPPY. Indian Woman Not Likely to Be Left Far Behind in Life's Battle. Writing of the famous Dean Kaye of Topeka, in Suburban Life, Paul A. Lovewell, says: "Dean Kaye has had interesting experiences during his soujourn in the wilderness. Once an Indian woman came to his cabin. "You marry?" she asked. "Yes," said the dean, "I can marry folks. Have you got a man?" "Again the woman grunted, and departed. About sundown she returned, dragging with her an apparently abashed and reluctant brave. "Got him,' she remarked, is conically, producing her marriage license. The man knew no English, but the woman prompted him when it became necessary for him to give his assent to the dean's questions. When it was over the squaw paid the minister his fee and led her husband away in trilumph." TERRIBLE ACCIDENT! "What's the matter over there?" "The sword swallower is being choked by a fishbone." "I'd rather waltz than cat," confided the summer girl. "Then we'll just have another dance instead of going to that fashionable restaurant," responded the thrifty swain.
