TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 11. P. B. IN UNION THERE IS STRUGGLE TWENTY-SIXTH PARIS FA Simple and Effect for House Gown Graceful Design In spite of the fact that the tea gown has always been looked upon as designed primarily with a view to comfort, fashion demands to-day that it must be quite as perfect in design and fit as any other item of the wardrobe, and, moreover, that it shall be the very last word of fashion, not to mention the requirements of individual becomingness and perfection of detail. There is no gown in the trousseau which offers more possibilities in the way of individual beauty and becomingness than the tea gown. And as to the richness and beauty of the material employed not even the ball gown has the advantage of superiority in this respect. Nor is the idea of comfort overlooked entirely in the smart tea gown, although it has been said that the first requisite is its claim to effectiveness, the second its becomingness, and only at the last comes the necessity for consideration of its comfort. Notwithstanding this fact, the up-to-date tea gown is as comfortable a garment as it was in the days when comfort was the only consideration, for with the development of the modiste's art it has become possible to secure easy fitting gowns which are quite as perfect in fit as though they held the wearer in an uncomfortable vise. There are two styles of tea gowns which must be included in the fashionable outfit. One is the gown to be put on for afternoon tea time, between the outdoor costume and the dinner frock, and the other is the gown suitable for informal evening wear. The afternoon tea gown differs from that which is used for informal evening wear principally in the way the neck is finished. The afternoon tea gown is usually finished with a high boned collar. However, if a rounded or U shaped neck, slightly cut out, is more becoming than the high collar it is used, but it must still be cut quite high and be more in the style of the collarless yoke than of a positive decolletage if the afternoon tea gown is to be kept distinct from that permissible for informal evening wear. The tea gown suitable for evening wear is not only cut quite low, with short sleeves of the airiest of fabrics, which usually droop off the shoulders, but it is also more pronounced or effective in its style than the afternoon tea gown and is made of the costliest materials and very elaborately. In the matter of fineness, perfection of fit and detail it has no advantage over the afternoon tea gown, but it usually produces a more elaborate effect. Indeed, the difference between the afternoon and evening tea gowns is rather difficult to determine except in the length or depth of the decoileage, and the difference between the informal evening tea gown and the dinner gown is equally difficult and takes a trained observer to be absolutely sure of. All tea gowns, of course, give the appearance of being only semi-fitted garments, as the outer material is used in this fashion, whereas in reality they are made up over the most carefully fitted linings. In order that a tea gown may be effective one of the first requisites is this careful fitting of the lining. The long lines and abnormally small hips, which are the demands of this season's fashions, are just as necessary for the proper effect of a tea gown as for any other gown in the wardrobe. The tea gown must not for a moment suggest even the most elaborate of negliges, and that it may not do so while it still adheres to its semi-fitting characteristic marvelous skill in the drapping of the outside material as well as in the fitting of the lining is required. The price of one of these "simple house gowns" is therefore not inconsiderable, especially when the quantity of hand work and handsome trimming, costly lace, etc., is what it ```markdown ``` should be to make a tea gown effective. But after all there is since there is no gown more becoming when it is properly made and of the right materials the money is well expended. Especially does this seem to be so when one sees a tea gown which has been too economically constructed, for nothing makes expense seem more justifiable than to see such a gown which is a failure because of imperfections of fit or detail. Painted chiffons and flowered messalines are among the most charming fabrics for warm weather tea gowns. Then there are the soft silks with quantities of lace trimming and insertions to make them still alrer, which are suitable for all seasons of the year. Chiffons of every hue, soft satin and marquette and elaborately embroidered and lace trimmed batiste gowns are also exquisite and are very much seen this season. For a serviceable morning or business hat the above model is stylish and durable. The hat is of black felt and may be trimmed in any shade velvet and wings desired. A pretty shade of green would be desirable for those who not care for black. Bonnet Strings Are Here. Bonnet strings Are Here. Although bonnet themselves have not actually arrived or been revived, bonnet strings are here, and immensely smart they are when attached to the right sort of headgear. The typical directoire hat, which is really a poke, invariably shows the strings attached to the edges of the brim directly above the ears, going bridle fashion beneath the chin and tying at one side. Other very wide-brimmed hats carry wide satin ribbon strings, which do not go underneath the chin, but are merely looped against the left ear and in some instances the wide ribbons placed at the inner edge of the brim whence it joins the crown are crossed and tied at the nape of the neck. After all it is a matter of fancy and also of suitability, for not to every woman are bonnet strings becoming. Lamp Shades. The newest thing in lamp shades is a frame covered first with pale pink soft silk, mounted with a shade of beautiful hand-made Irish crochet. Of course, this is quite expensive, but a very pretty shade of good imitation fillet lace that could be copied at home at a small cost would answer the purpose. The frame of this design can be first covered with pink and then the lace cut to fit each section smoothly. The lower edge can be finished with shallow, round scallops, one to a section, and the seams joining the sections concealed by a narrow white silk gimp. This trims the lower edge also, a finish being given by white fringe. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. BOSTON BAPTISTS BOLT W. H. TAFT! BOSTON BAPTISTS BOLT W. H. TAFT! SO DO PROMINENT EPISCOPAL AND METHODIST CLERGY- MEN OF COLOR. CANDIDATE SHERMAN HISSED! When He Recalled the "Brownsville" Roosevelt-Taft Discharge Without Honor of the Brave and Innocent "Black Bat tailion." It is simply astonishing how the anti-Taft wave grows, as it rushes on, among our people. Last week Monday night in Bethel A N. E. church, Chicago, Vice Presidential Candidate Sherman was hissed, hooted, whistled at and given "cat-calls" for the more mentioning of Roosevelt's name in connection with that of "The Black Bat tailion," and fully one-third of the audience got up and left the church. A very proper proceeding. ALL should have left the church without hissing, etc., however. That sort of thing is wrong and should never be indulged in. Nor should Roosevelt, Taft, Sherman or other campaign "spellbinders" expect us to tolerate for a single moment such insults as the audience in Bethel church so strongly resented. Because they think we are party shaves and fools, is no reason why we should encourage them in entertaining such assinine thoughts and beliefs. Read the following: Unfurled a Bryan Banner. Washington, D. C.—Under the directio t not Rev. Dr. Corrothers, one of our leading ministers, who was the princi pal speaker, *a Bryan and Kern bans* was swing to the breeze here on the 22 during the progress of a mass meeting. Another Bryan League. Philadelphia, Pa. — Octetry, and enthusiasm were given free to join last Thursday night at a ball at the southeast corner of Twentieth and Carpenter streets, where a Thirtieth Ward Colored Bryan league was organized, under the auspices of the Colored Bryan league of this city. James W. Phoenix, president of the central body, occupied the chair, and addresses were held by Phoenix, A. J. Russell, H. Thomas, J. Josephph, and H. Wylie. The three last named were elected president, treasurer and secretary of the new organization, which pledged itself to an untriling campaign for Bryan and Kern. Masons Against Taft: A Boston correspondent of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican wrote recently: "From a well-informed source it appears that when the Colonel was sent to the house he were sounded pretty thoroughly as to their presidential preferences, and it is said that a large number of them will vote straight for Bryan, while others who cannot go as far as that will not vote for Bryan, and that they do not make any stir about it, and that what they will do will count for more than what they say." Republican United States Supreme Court Against Equal Rights. REV. DR. O. M. WALLER Favors Bryan's Nomination and Says White Republicans are Making Friends with the White South. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Bryan has a new advocate. He is the Rev. Dr. O. M. Waller, president of the Kings County Colored Civic league, and prominent. He is a medical as well as a spiritual doctor. Mr. Waller says that more than six-tenths of our people are opposed to Taft, and it is time for us to save the Republican party and get a representative of the assistant rector of St. Augustin P. E. church, past exalted ruler of the Elks of America, a thirty-third degree member of Masonry, and honorary member of the Grand Orient of Haytii. He says the Republicans have persistently refused to use their power to relieve the Afro-American of political and civil disabilities. "It must not be forgotten, however, that the Democratic party no longer holds no objection to the vote," he said. "We cannot say what the attitude of the Democratic party will be toward us if we place it under obligation by supporting it. I believe it is high time for the 7,000,000 of people in the south to seek the friendship, politically, of their neighbors and divide their vote." Rev. Waller says that the Democratic party makes friends with the white south setters President Roosevelt has not hesitated to appoint Democrats and former confederates to office, and that he has selected to accompany him in Africa "the notorious captain of Brownsville Infantry, Bill McDonald of the Texas Infantry." Republicans Allow Lynching and "Jim Crow" Cars. Atlanta, Ga.—The war Republicans, who saved the country from the secession national rupture, tried to give the colored man every right which any American possessed, but these latter-day makeshift are allowing our race to be lynched and murdered by tens of thousands without judge or jury, frenched in his home state, Jim Crow" carried on till the surrenders into the national capital, and other states where freedom has existed for a hundred years. Fifty-two white men are members of the United States congress on the strength of the Negro vote, and the Republicans know the Negro has no vote in the very states these fifty-two white men are members of congress from and they say or try to do nothance the hellish and outrageous measure. If the Republican party was worth the snap of a finger, they would tell these 52 members who are holding seats in the United States congress to either go out, or let the colored men in your several states vote, and they would legislate the unjust, unrightheons, unreasonable and dishonest crimes, and the court will face, and see that judges were put in that have some sense of justice.—Bishop H. M. Turner. MINISTERS BOLT TAFT. Propose to Work for Bryan and Se- verely Criticise Roosevelt and Taft. Boston, Mass.,—Bolt Taft and vote for Bryan; Roosevelt is the enemy of the Negro, because he has oppressed the Negro. He has insulted our soldiers and turned down our protectors. Taft is Roosevelt's mouthpiece, and therefore also an enemy to the Negro. Give Bryan a chance and he will be with The above is the substance of a resolution adopted by our ministers of this city. Revs. Benjamin W. Farris, George M. Brown, J. H. Dennis and S. J. Comfort, for leading ministers, are the champions of the move to advocate Taft's defeat in their Sunday sermons. Rev. Dr. M. N. Shaw first gave expression to our people's anti-Taft sentiment when at a private conference of our local Baptist ministers in St. Paul's church, he declared in a paper on the "Duty of a True Christian" that he was no African-American who respected himself could vote for Taft. He told the ministers that it would not be undignified for them to express themselves in politics. He said that the race would fall into disrepute if Taft were elected, and that it was a minister's Christian duty to prevent such a calamity. The ministers took his advice. Said Rev M. McMahon: "The Republicans have been hindering the development of the south. They do not provide for proper education of Negro youth and therefore among our brothers much ignorance exists." Rev. Mr. Brown said: "Roosevelt has insured our race; Taft is but Roosevelt's Shame." Shame colored man, I say, who would vote for Taft. We have rights which Theodore Roosevelt in all his glory cannot disregard. Cleveland and Bryan. Atlanta, Ga. — The Republican leaders have given a few colored men little offices, we grant, but PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, A DEMOCRAT. DID THE SAME, FOR WE HAVE BEEN ED, IN TEN MINUTES, OURSELF. And we believe, at heart, William J. Bryan is as good as President Cleveland was and would do as much for the black man. What do we care about a few colored men holding some small offices, when at least 17,000,000 of colored men are in office, persecuted as no other race of people since the world began. We know the colored people of the country are spoken of numerically, at eight or ten million. We have been 8,000,000 ever since 1870, and the natural increase would make us number at least 17,700,000. And as we believe 19,000 for these census enumerators are willful liars, so far as the south is concerned, for we know of whole counties where a census enumerator has not been for 30 years.—Rt. Rev. H. M. Turner, senior bishop of M. E. church. **Teley Telegram Senator Foraker.** Atlantic City, N. J. — Four hundred Afro-American voters last Friday night heard Dr. S. L. Corrothers of Washington, D. C. urge the Bryan cause, and they finally adopted a resolution favoring Senator Foraker's re-election in Ohio and condemning Roosevelt for his stand in the Brownies outrage in dismissing our troops, and oppose an exponent of the Roosevelt policies. The following telegram was sent to Senator Foraker by W. F. Cozart, chairman of the meeting: "Big mass meeting of Afro-American voters assure you of their continued loyalty resolves to stand by you to the last." Divide the Honors The Negro voter should awake and come to himself. He has supported white Republicans in office long enough. Duty demands that he should cast his vote hereafter in such a manner as to get recognition for his race. This does not mean that he should vote against all the white men on the earth, but it does mean that he should vote against all the white men who is not willing to divide the official honors with the Negro—Nashville (Tenn.) Clarion. Kills Wife, Son and Self Gallipolis, O.—Gus Jones, a well-known character and race horse follower, went to his home last week Friday night and after a quarrel which ended in a general fight, cut his wife's and son's throats. He then drew the razor across his own arm. All will have been a man near the same place a few years ago. FRESH NEWS CHRONICLED LETTERS FROM MANY OHIO CITIES AND TOWNS SENT BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.

TO HELP ROOSEVELT GET THE NOMINATION Senator Foraker Borrowed Standard Oil Money - For This Roosevelt, the Contemptible Ingrate, Now Kicks at Him - The President in Conspiracy With Hearst. (Cincinnati (O.) Dispatch to the New York Times.) The circumstances left out of his statement by Senator Foraker is that it was a desire on his part to help President Roosevelt and oppose the presidential aspirations of Senator Hanna that led him to undertake to get into the newspaper business. Mr. Foraker was then facing his own concession to President Roosevelt and had on his hands a first-class fight with the Hanna machine. It would, of course, be helpful to him, to enlist the support of the president, and he was seeking to do that by giving Mr. Roosevelt whatever aid he could all down the line. The Ohio State Journal was friendly to Hanna, who was beginning to lay the ropes for his own presidential candidacy of two years later. By getting control of the Journal Senator Foraker hoped to put a spoke in the Hanna wheel, which would be of service to Roosevelt, and that in turn would make him (Foraker) stronger with the president. But Hanna got wind of what was going on and took advantage of President Fischer's delay in raising the purchase price, to get hold of the paper for some of his own friends, and Senator Foraker lost his chance. It does not appear from this end that Mr. Roosevelt had any knowledge of what Mr. Foraker was trying to do or that he had any intimation that the senator was borrowing money from the Standard Oil Co. with which to turn a trick that would be beneficial to him (Roosevelt). Rev. Dr. Snelson, the New Pastor, Hamilton, O.—The above named, a well-known financier of the A. M. E. church, is the new pastor of Payne church, and splendid and immediate progress is now assured. IN UNION THERE IS STRONGTH A WOMAN'S STRONG APPEAL TO OHIO AFRO-AMERICANS TO "STRIKE FOR JUSTICE AND RIGHT!" Defeat "Jim-Crow" Car Taft, and "Son-in-Law" Longworth and Strike Roosevelt a Telling Blow—Stand Up for Senator Foraker—She Says Vote for Bryan. Bonneville, Ore, Oct. 2, 1998. Editor The Gazette—Dear Sir: Your comments on the Hearst charges are fine. Keep up the good work, for God's sake and for the race's sake! For the sake of justice and right, defeat Taft. Don't waste half of your power by voting any third ticket. Vote for Bryan! Suppose you vote for one of the third parties and Taft carries Ohio by 10,000, and so is elected. Can't you see Roosevelt will claim the credit? Foraker will be killed, politically and the Negroes will be despised by every man. (No other race would hesitate to vote for Satan rather than for one who had treated them as Taft and his master have the Negroes) and there will be a man to defend the right. Defeat Taft and so punish his cowardice in siding with Roosevelt FREW HAREN and Heart in abusing the senator. Prove yourselves MEN by giving you for blow. Strike! with all your might, "For every right with all your might." It's a grand motto. Live up to it. You won't need to vote the Democratic ticket but once. In 1912 the old line Republicans will get control and we will be a party for the new. These attacks of Hearst and Taft and Roosevelt only show how great and good and wise the senator is and how coarse and vicious and cowardly his enemies are. Oh! men, use your opportunity. Strike hard. The greater the opposition the more stinging his defeat to Roosevelt, and let the colored voters defeat Longworth in the First Ohio. Lose no chance to strike your enemy. If you fail to use the power God has given you to punish wrong, how dare you ask Him to defend you? Your boss, M.P. MATRICA ROBISON. Olean, N. Y., Items. Mr. O. Randall was buried from the A. M.

All communications should be addressed: BARRY C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1891 1896 to 1894 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, Saturday, Oct. 10, 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. We've had more than enough of Roosevelt and Taft. Mark our prediction: Taft will not carry Ohio this fall. Senator Foraker is our only outspoken friend in public life and whoever has the temerity to strike at him hits the race. Roosevelt and Taft will understand this better in November. Ohio Afro-Americans should not forget Gov. Harris' retention of ex-Mayor Ganson as a member of the state agricultural board. Ganson was mayor of Urbana when "Chick" Mitchell was lynched. There has been no meeting of the Foraker National league at Washington, D. C., or elsewhere recently. Some political bolder is fooling some of our race papers by sending to them an announcement of an alleged meeting. The New York scoundrel who blacked his face and hands and tried to rob a saloonkeeper late one night recently was caught "in the act." Many have not been caught in both the south and north, the result being that our people have had to suffer unfairly many, many times, in more ways than one. GOV. HUGHES OF NEW YORK. Gov. Hughes of New York state is noted particularly among our people of the country for the steadfastness with which he has refused recognition to the Afro-American voters of the "Empire State." He has ignored every request and demand our people of his state have made upon him and has even refused any explanation of his refusals, showing the utmost contempt for so large and potent a factor of the Republican party of that state, as is the New York Afro-American vote. On the other hand, Tammany, alone, has given more recognition to its Afro-American contingent in New York City, than the Republican federal and state administrations combined throughout New York state. This is a year when our people have absolutely no good reason to fear the election of a Democratic president. Therefore, while we are at it, we should not lose an opportunity to contribute all in our power to the defeat of such men as Taft, Hughes, Senator Warner of Missouri, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, and all their kind of Republican candidates they stand for. "Buckle on your arm" and let it be "war to the death" on election day in November, and for a quarter of a century thereafter the Afro-American voter will be of some consequence in the north at least. SENATOR WARNER OF MISSOURI During the course of the investigation of the Brownies matter by the United States senate committee on military affairs, Senator Warner of Missouri, as well as Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, were noted for their almost malicious questioning of the members of "The Black Battalion" who appeared upon the witness stand. Indeed their mistreatment was so flagrant as to attract the attention of many of the leading daily newspapers and magazines of the country. These two senators particularly, were Roosevelt's and Taft's representatives on the committee, and seemed to feel it their duty to do everything in their power, not only to humiliate the poor, innocent and outraged soldiers of color, but also to place them and their cause in a bad light before the committee, the senate and the country. To the loyal Afro-American voters of Missouri, Ohio, New York, Indiana, Massachusetts and the rest of the north will soon come an opportunity to resent not only Warner's and Lodge's mistreatment and gratuitous insults to the entire race, but also Roosevelt's and Taft's, which were even more aggravating. Election day is but a few weeks distant and will afford the only opportunity to do so. Brave, manly and loyal MEN of the race will grasp it. Only cowards and slaves will fall to their full duty on that day. The situation from a race view point is one that calls for careful thought, strong determination to do one's duty to self, family and the race, and a knowledge of individuals and conditions such as has never before required in the history of the Afro-American. We must show this time of all times to the country at large, and the Republican party particularly, that we not only know our rights, but will fight for them; that we not only know when we are grossly insulted, but will resent insults in a proper way and at the proper time; that we are MEN, and no longer public dukes and slaves. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1908. Boy Confesses Stealing Nine Horses. Lisbon, O. — The confession of Roy Stout, a boy of 9, has cleared up a mystery which has baffled the police of Lisbon for three years. Arraigned before Mayor Crawford of East Liverpool, charged with being incorrigible, the lad told how, within that time, he had taken nine horses. All had been, returned after having been kept for a few days, during which time police searched near and far for the supposed horse thieves. The attraction of horses amounts to a mania with the boy. Harmon to Talk in Dry Territory Harmon to talk in dry territory. Columbus, O. — The state headquarters of the Democratic party has mapped out an itinerary for Judson Harmon next week which will carry him through dry territory. Monday he will be in Gallia, which recently voted dry; Tuesday he will be in Jackson, also dry, and in Athens, a third dry county. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday he will be in Holmes, Medina and Ashland, which are "near dry" counties, none of them having more than half a dozen saloons. Brewers Want Model License Law. Cleveland, O.-Ohio brewers will not attack the Rose county local option law in the legislature. That was decided upon at the meeting of their association Wednesday in this city. After a long discussion it was decided to seek the enactment of a model license law in this state. This will mean a long delay, because the constitution will have to be amended before the legislature can enact such a law, license being strictly inhibited by the constitution as it stands. Tobacco Warehouses Burned. Creston, O.—Fire starting from the explosion of an oil lamp destroyed the large tobacco warehouses of E. Amstutz of Creston, and Holstein Bros. of Cleveland, Wednesday. Amstutz, it is said, was cleaning a gun preparatory to going coon hunting, when a lamp, which was setting on a chair, exploded. The fire caught in the dry tobacco and spread rapidly. More than 300 bales of tobacco were consumed. The loss is about $20,000. Sues to Prevent a Merger. Cleveland, O. — Suit to prevent the Pathfinders, a health, accident and life mutual beneficiary organization, from being absorbed by the American Insurance union, was brought in common pleas court Wednesday by Dr. George A.

INGRATITUDE OF BASEST SORT Bishop Walters Asks Some Pertinent Questions and Makes Some Strong, Timely Statements That Should Be Heeded By All of Our Voters. Chicago, Ill.—The following is from a recent issue of the Daily News of this city, and has so much truth that it is worthy of reproduction at this time in The Gazette: President Roosevelt has failed to justify his position in discharging the Negro soldiers from the regular army, for it has never been proved that these troops were guilty of a misdemeanor. They were exonerated by a Texas grand jury, a very strong point in their favor. Then, too, the congressional military committee that thoroughly investigated the case at Washington could not find sufficient evidence to concur, though certain members of that committee were blamed from the outset. "Among these discharged troops were men who had served their country well for more than twenty years, men who had seen actual service, both in the Indian uprisings and the Spanish-American war, men who were with the president himself at San Juan Hill, whose product was praiseworthy at El Caney. That these men should be branded as midnight assassins and kicked out of the army by the very man whom they sustained upon the battle field is ingratitude, and that the Negroes of this country should protest against such mistreatment was not in the least surprising. That an effort to force such a flagrant wrong was only natural. "It is exceedingly unfortunate that President Roosevelt should have taken such a stand against a people who have always been so stanch and loyal to the Republican party. I feel confident that these troops been given the opportunity to find guilty of conduct unbecoming American soldiers there would not have been one word of protest uttered." BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS. Bishop Alexander Walters recently wrote the Star of Zion, organ of the A. M. E. Zion church connection, relative to the same matter, as follows: "As to the Brownsville affair—if an injustice has been done the Negro soldiers primarily and the whole race secondarily and the wrong has not been made right, then the Negroes who do not resent the Injustice are devoid of real manhood and are unworthy of the name of freemen. There is not and other nation under heaven that has resented the outrage as this one. France was a seething pool of discontent until justice had been done to Captain Dreyfus—we have one hundred and sixty-seven wronged soldiers—there is no question as to the outrage. The president has had all the machinery of the government at his command to prove the guilt of one Negro out of one hundred and sixty-seven, and notwithstanding he has all the detective bureaus of America, the war department the justice department the government to aid him in his quest of criminal evidence, two years have intervened and not one Negro has been named as being guilty of the shooting up of the town of Brownsville. When ten young white men were dismissed from West Point the matter was reconsidered by the president, who stated that while it was true they were guilty, he did not like to blast the future of ten such splendid young men. When I read it I said to myself what he said: "I will not be sixty-seven splendid young Negro men? Is it nothing to blast their future? I cannot understand why some black men treat this terrible crime against the race as a little matter unworthy of serious consideration. Are we as a race so lacking in the finer sensibilities that we do not know when we are outraged or insulted? If we are incapable of recognizing insecurity in our souls, we will hold this nation to an accountability for this crime. If we have a spark of manhood and courage left we will resent this injustice at the palls next November." MRS. ROBISON FOR BRYAN. Gives Her Reasons and Feels That They Ought to be Accepted Generally by Our People— "Defeat Taft!" Editor Gazette. Dear Sir: As the days pass, it seems more necessary to me, that the colored people, for their own good, should use all their power to defeat Taft. And, to more fully ensure his overwhelming defeat, vote for Bryan, thus making each vote count. You must clear your eyes by voting for any third party. You do not become Democrats. You only use the club ready to your hand to protect yourselves and those who are really your friends. Taft may pretend friendship for you and the dear senator, but he will betray both and knife Foraker if he gets the chance. Look at his court now, know clearly what did a dishonor be the thing. Taft knows it, too. Yet he falls to come to his defense. Don't trust Taft. God hates a coward. Avenge the insults offered to you and the senator by voting for Bryan. If Taft is elected, Roosevelt will claim the credit and Taft will forget his "inherited" love and sympathy for the colored race, for the colorless people, for himself must strike the blow." Do not yield one lota. Save the party from Roosevelt! DEFEAT TAFT! Yours truly. MRS. PATRICIA ROBISON. Roosevelt's and Taft's Abuse of Sena tor Foraker and "The Black Battalion," Additional Good Reasons for So Doing. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 30, 1908. Editor The Gazette, Dear Sir: As it has been some time since I have heard from you, I decided to pen you a few lines. Well, I guess that politics is getting warm in Ohio. The stand that Taft and the president have taken veto over the former for one course open for Foraker's friends and that is to vote against Taft. Our people here are very aroused and two-thirds of them will not support Mr. Taft, as a vote for him means a vote to condemn Foraker, and certainly no thoughtful Afro-American will cast such a vote. If they should do such a thing it will be a long time before we get another vote that would allow the pair play for the Negro in opposition to the administration forces. President Roosevelt will receive the New Jersey Negro's answer in the returns next day after the election. W. E. Griffin and R. Toomley, members of the race, were nominated in the primaries has been treated to a Republican ticket. Nominees here are usually equivalent to election. Hoping this will find you in the best of health, I remain. "A Race of Animals." Pliqua, O.—The defection of our vote in this county has taken a more decided tone since a meeting of the Independent Civic league at Troy recently, where Dr. J. L. Johnson of Washington, D. C., a federal employee who was here visiting, spoke. He said: "I saw a letter written by Roosevelt to the Brownsville inquiry committee in which he wrote that he would not believe anything a colored man would say and that we are a race of animals. I am a Republican, but I am not for Roosevelt or his man Friday, Taft and I have been told that he will vote him and his anti-Negro policy. The colored man wanted justice not of face. They may threaten me with a loss of my federal position and all that, but they cannot scare me away from my duty to my own people." PRESIDENT OF ANANIAS CLUB! "BROWNSVILLE" ROOSEVELT WELL PLACED, AND BY SEN- ATOR FORAKER. WHATMANNER OF MANISTAFT? The Senator Resents for Us Rosebelt and Taft's Insulting References to the Brownsville Out- rage—A Masterly Defense. Cincinnati, O.—The following from Senator Forker, is self-explanatory: Notwithstanding that the president says in his answer to Mr. Bryan of September 23, that I was the representative and champion and defender of corporations in the senate, there is not a word of truth in any such statement whether made by him or anybody else, and there is not a scrap of supporting any such charge, that cannot be as fully and satisfactorily explained as has been explained the letter about the Jones bill and the proposed purchase of the Ohio State Journal. This brings me to Mr. Taft's letter and what the president has said in his letter to Mr. Taft, that I was the indent in publishing it had not withheld the name of the man to whom it was written it might have been easier for me to show that I had no responsibility for that man's action in writing to him. The man himself would have refuted the impression the president apparently seeks to create that he wrote either in my instance or in my interruption, and that I was any way, sought Mr. Taft's help for reelection to the senate. When Mr. Taft's candidacy for the presidency was first announced I was surprised to learn from the newspapers that the program of those having it in charge involved my "elimination" from public life. An open declaration of war, such as the "elimination" brought controversy and strife where there should have been only peace. Finally Mr. Cox announced a harmony proposition—Taft for president, Harris for governor and me for senator. He did that on his own motion; not only without any request from me, but contrary to my desires. Nevertheless, the question of whether that if expressed the wish of the Republicans of Ohio, no one would support Judge Taft more cordially than I would. Therefore Mr. Burton gave out an interview in which he stated that Mr. Taft would not accept from the Republicans of Ohio an endorsement for the presidency if coupled with an endorsement of me for the presidency, and do not pretend to give his exact language, but I know I am accurately stating the effect of it. This appeared to be such a gross public insult and so uncalled for that hostilities were immediately resumed. They continued until Mr. Taft was nominated. So, then far as I was concerned, they stopped instantly and I supposed from the character of Mr. Taft's response to the question of whether he had stopped on his part; at least I was so assured by his friends and managers, and in that connection and was also assured Mr. Burton had no authority to give out his offensive interview. Much more of the same character might be mentioned, but I have said enough to show that Mr. Taft's response to the question of exonerating Mr. Burton from the charge of having spoken without authority and fixes responsibility where it belongs. Now as to the letter itself. Mr. Taft knew I had never opposed the policy of supervising and regulating interstate carriers and interstate commerce. He knew that my opposition to the rate bill was not because I was opposed to the general policy of regulation and supervision, but only to some features of the methods it was necessary to implement that measure. I do not agree with Judge Taft that a senator should be controlled by the legislature of his state against his intelligence, his conscience and his judgment about a great public question of far reaching, serious consequences. Without disparaging genuine mortality it can be truthfully said that leisure and recreation and "rightness of action" and "moral awakening" and more common sense in the policies of the administration would have excited less of that opposition of which Mr. Taft's letter complains. At any rate, in the presence of the decision on the commodities clause and the unfortunate consequences resulting from the enforcement of the rate law as to foreign commerce. I do not think need make any changes in legislation. I will bill; certainly I do not think it was an offense of such a heinous character that I should be read out of the party on account of it, as Judge Taft's letter practically proposed. I have in mind not the stopping indefinitely of adequate railroad construction at a time when it is so badly needed, nor the losses amounting to billions of dollars when the shrinkage in values of all kinds of securities but the empty dinner pails and suffering families of unemployed wage workers and the hhbmer classes of people to be found by thousands in every section of the Union. Responsibility for such results is serious. It is the first time we have had anything like it under a Republican administration. Who caused all this? Not Provident and diligent. All our natural conditions are favorable to a resumption of the fullest prosperity, and yet it does not come. A million brimful dinner pails have been kicked over. We know that the policies of the Republican party filled them. Whose policies emptied them? I am at least thankful, profoundly so, that no one has ever charged—not even my bitter enemies. We have been emptied or that any wage worker has ever lost a day's wages by reason of any act or speech or vote of mine. But what manner of man is Judge Taft anyhow? I have known him for a great many years, and I thought intimately, and yet at times I feel as though I did not know him at all. July 20, 1907, when he wrote the letter the president published as a trust smashing papers of the administration that he could not consent to be made president if, as a part of the same movement, I was to be honored with a reelection to the senate because of my opposition to that special feature of my policies, and now since the Standard Oil Co. for many years iffested the most unusual indignation. Apparently every man who has any relation to the company is to be driven out of public life. If so, I shall probably have a great deal of company. Only one month ago, when Mr. Taft visited Middle Bass and Toledo, he was the guest of Mr. W. Lewis of the Standard Oil Co. and who have been the attorneys of the Standard Oil Co. for many years, standing next to Virgil P. Kline, and when Mr. Taft had occasion to pass back and forth between Middle Bass and Toledo, where I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. he traveled on the night of Mr. Richardson, a prominent magnate of the glass trust, and while he doubtless paid his fare—at least the papers so announced—when travelling from Hot Springs to Toledo on his way to Middle Bass, yet nevertheless he rode in the private car of one of the officers of the road, of which also necks. What a series of unpardonable crimes! It is highly to his credit that when three years ago the president had occasion to appoint a United States district judge for the northern district of Ohio, Mr. Taft, knowing the abilities and high character of John H Doyle of this Standard Oil firm of the United States, recommended him to the president in strong language for appointment to that judgeship. As to the Brownsville matter, Mr Taft, speaking of me, says: "He has seized upon and magnified an important but incidental matter to embarrass the administration, using in this without scruple a blind race prejudice to accomplish his main purpose." I have no way of proving what was in my mind except by referring to the record. Anyone who reads that will fail to find a sentence or a word to justify any such statement as Mr Taft makes. In view of Judge Taft's statement, I trust I may be allowed to find a sentence or a word that would add a number of things that in this whole matter I have no revenues to seek or personal end to serve, but was anxious to see that common justice was done to the representatives of a noble and loyal race every one of whom is by nature a Republican. The colored voters are known to be more or less displeased with the action of the Republican party in not passing some relief measure, but I have not found a sore wound that have signified a purpose to vote against Judge Taft because of his official relation to the matter. And now comes the president and publisher Judge Taft's letter containing his unfortunate reference to this unfortunate case. What does he mean? Does any body imagine that the president is unfortunate? a sore when he should have brought a plaster? Does he imagine or can anybody suppose that the Republican colored voters in this country can be brought to the support of Judge Taft by parading in these close days of the campaign Judge Taft; belittling it as the incumbent matriarch; mentioning it in an incumbent ragnified, using in this without a scruple a blind race prejudice. Then adding the charge that all this is done only to "embarrass the administration" of President Roosevelt? Can I be possible that the president want to defeat Judge Taft? That cannot be, and yet he could hardly do any other one thing better calculated to lose him votes, for no self-respecting party can have any right to be in this letter and adding to it all that has gone before, can vote for him without feeling that he is making a greater sacrifice than most men, white or black, are willing to make. In any event, the president's action and comments are a wrong toward the Republic can party, for they amount to a charge against the party at a critical hour of purpose in connection with a matter that colored man who has any pride of race holds of highest value and in deepest appreciation. What Judge Taft says in his letter is equivalent of an assertion that the colored people of the country who have been gratified by what was done in the Brownwells by designing selfishness. That has enough, but the president makes worse when he says: " * * * * * the entire agitation over Brownsville was in large part not * * genuine agitation on behalf of the colored men at all, but merely one phase of the effort by the representatives of certain law-defying corporations to bring discredit upon the administra- tion of the colored men, the evils connected not only with the corrupt use of wealth, but especially with the corrupt alliance between certain business men of large fortune and certain politicians of great office." In other words, the Brownsville proceeding was not only all Judge Tait said it was, but in addition to being designing and selfish, it was prompted by the "representatives of law-defying corporations to bring discredit upon Straighten Your Hair DEAR SIR...

That is worse than the president's claim that the panic of last October was precipitated by a lot of rich men in Wall street who were in the whole country that they might discredit him; and worse even than the story that these same men raised a fund of $5,000,000 with which to prevent him from naming his chosen successor. happen to know that there is not the slightest ground for such a charge. It is invention pure and simple, and, judging by the frequency with which the president is bringing the matter to the front, born of that disquiet which is the consequence when the consciousness of having done great wrong. OUR COURSE FULLY JUSTIFIED! It is with the greatest degree of satisfaction we call our readers' and our contemporaries' attention to the fact that The Gazette has the association of America's greatest and most distinguished statesman, the Honorable Joseph Benson Foraker, in the stand we took, politically, many months ago and have consistently maintained ever since. What Roosevelt and Taft's letters, published last week, finally forced the Senator to reluctantly acknowledge, we saw many months ago and governed our course accordingly. If ever a newspaper was fully and completely justified in taking the seemingly too radical stand we took last year when we led the local revolt among our people of this community against Roosevelt and Taft's candidate for Mayor of Cleveland, Congressman Burton, Senator Foraker's most prominent political enemy in Northern Ohio, if not in the entire state, The Gazette has been in the last ten days, not only by the letters referred to but also by the Senator's magnificent reply to them, part of which will be found upon our page to day. Ever since the Chicago convention in which Taft's nomination was made possible by the seating of hundreds of ill-white" delegates(?) and the unseating of the same number of regularly elected DELEGATES because they were not for Taft, there has been a growing disposition to question the wisdom of our course, with the statement that "Senator Foraker is for Taft." This, too, in the face of the Senator's statement in his Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce speech that Taft's fatal defect was his wholesale endorsement of the so-called Roosevelt policies, which included, of course, his and Roosevelt's policy in the Brownsville outrage. Now all is clear. All know Roosevelt, Taft and Foraker, perfectly, so far as this campaign is concerned, if they did not before, and there can be none so blind, to-day, as to be unable to see the wisdom of our stand against the President and his human phonograph (Taft), and in favor of our great and good friend, the Senator, and his beneficiaries, "The Black Battalion" and the race. The President and his candidate for the presidency are not only against the Senator but are positive, dangerous menaces to the future progress of the race. Therefore we are but doing our duty to the race and Mr. Foraker in opposing the candidacy of Mr. Taft AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents.

Chavers of the Ohio Standard, World of Columbus, O., which is published occasionally, told the president Thursday that there was great danger of Ohio going Democratic. He explained that his brethren in Ohio were not interested in the Standard Oil discussion, but they were in the Brownsville case, and from a close personal investigation he had discovered that thousands of Republican Negroes had decided not to go to the polls. In this he is right. Those who do go to the polls will not vote for Taft. That's sure. "The Wish Father to the Thought." It is amusing to the Pioneer Press and should be to anybody who can read between lines, to witness the palver over W. H. Taft's sentence relative to Senator Foraker, to-wit: "I would not hit a man when he is down, to get all the votes in the United States."

Wells (white) was refused a license here to wad Mamie Dorsey, 23 years old, last week Wednesday, by an officious and fool-prejudiced clerk. This so exasperated Mamie that she is alleged to have said to John: "Next time we go for a license I'll back you up so you look like me, and then you'll won't bother us—the Lord knows you can't powder me up so I'll look like you." The couple left here for Chicago, where they were married Monday evening. "The Blind Man Eloquent" "The Blind Man Eloquent" Speaks. Bellefontaine, O.—Judge William H. West, known as "Ohio's blind man eloquent," who placed the name of James G. Blaine in nomination for the presidency in 1884, and who was one of the first presidents to be a lawyer and former attorney general of the state, came out to-day for J. B. Foraker's return to the senate. "Senator Foraker has completely vindicated himself and is one of our greatest statesmen. I Roosevelt continues his policy of abuse he will disrupt the party," said Judge West in an interview. 1.500 Register for Lands! Presho, S.

KINK·INE When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success.

It tells, with other symptoms, such as nervousness, headache, pains in the loins, weight in the lower part of the body, that a woman's feminine organism works. In such cases the one sure remedy which speedily removes the cause, and restores the feminine organism to a healthy, normal condition is Mrs. Will Young, of 6 Columbia Ave., Rockland, Me., says: "I was troubled for a long time with dreadful backaches and a pain in my side, and was miserable in every way. I doctored until I was discouraged and thought I would never get well. I read the book and learned that the Compound had done for others and decided to try it; after taking three bottles I can truly say that I never felt so well in my life." Mrs. Augustus Lyon, of East Earl, Pa., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I had very severe backaches, and pressing-down pains. I could not sleep, and I was sick. Ham's Vegetable Compound cured me and made me feel like a new woman." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female lilies, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregular arteries, ing-down feeling, flatulence, iidigestion, dizziness or nervous prostration. HE REMEMBERED. "And did your uncle remember you in his will?" "Well, he remembered me, all right, but that was why he didn't mention me in it." Head of Firm (to old bookkeeper)— Henry, you've worked for us for 30 years, and during that time you have been faithful and your work has been satisfactory. But you are now so old that we must replace you with a younger man. We are very grateful to you, Henry, and, of course, will do the right thing. Have you saved? Henry—I couldn't, str, with my large family. "As I thought! Then I want to say to you that we shall be only too glad to keep you on for a month or so at a reduced salary until you can place yourself elsewhere."—Judge. How It Felt. An Irish maid in the service of a Washington family recently sought permission of her mistress to take an afternoon off for the purpose of consulting a dentist. Upon her return, the mistress said: "Well, Rosalie, did you have the tooth filled?" "I did, mum." "And what did the dentist fill it with—gold or amalgam?" "I don't know just what it was, mum; but from the way I feel, I should think it was with thunder and flicking mum." NO GUSHER But Tells Facts About Postum. "We have used Postum for the past eight years," writes a Wis. lady, "and drink it three times a day. We never tire of it. "For several years I could scarcely eat anything on account of dyspepsia, bloating after meals, palpitation, sick headache—in fact was in such misery and distress I tried living on hot water and toast for nearly a year. "I had quit coffee, the cause of my trouble, and was using hot water, but this was not nourishing. "Hearing of Postum I began drinking it and my alliments disappeared, and now I can eat anything I want without trouble. "My parents and husband had about the same experience. Mother would often suffer after eating, while yet drinking coffee. My husband was a great coffee drinker and suffered from indigestion and headache. "After he stopped coffee and began Postum both ailments left him. He will not drink anything else now and we have it three times a day. I could write more but am no gusher—only state plain facts."

BRIEF NEWS NOTES FOR THE BUSY MAN MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK TOLD IN CONDENSED FORM. ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD Complete Review of Happenings of Greatest Interest from All Parts of the Globe—Latest Home and Fore- eign Items. POLITICAL Revival of the rumors that President Roosevelt will make speeches in support of the Republican national ticket were met by this statement from the White House: "The president has no intention at present of taking the stump in behalf of Mr. Taft." Chairman Mack of the Democratic national committee attacked George R. Sheldon, Republican national treasurer, because of his alleged relations with the trusts, and it developed that he was preparing to open up in W. M. Cromwell, member of the Republican advisory committee, on the same grounds. Edward W. Townsend of Monclair, N. J. author of the "Chimmile Fadden" stories, was nominated for congress by the Democratic convention of the Seventh district of New Jersey. PERSONAL Thomas W. Lawson, the well-known financier, was thrown from his carriage while driving near North Scituate, Mass., and severely injured. W. K.

A divorce was granted to Nat Goodwin, the actor, from Maxine Ellott at Reno, New. Dr. Alexander Mann of Trinity Episcopal church, Boston, Mass., was elected bishop of the Protestant diocese of Washington. W. D.

Mr. Ryan work as office clerk at the plant of the Hartford Carpet Corporation, Thompsonville, Conn. Later he will go into the wool-sorting department. GENERAL NEWS. The second and culminating step in the Austro-Bulgarian program was consummated when Emperor Francis Joseph formally proclaimed the practical annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the dual monarchy. Turkey called upon the powers to preserve to hew what they guaranteed by the treaty of Berlin. Austria and Bulgaria strongly declare their determination to keep what they have taken. Servia is protesting belligerently against being hemmed in more strongly between two unpopular neighbors and against having the Servians in Bosnia absorbed into the Austro-Hungarian nationality. The other powers concerned in the Berlin treaty are discussing the holding of an international conference. Turkey's unexpected policy of restraint minimizes the possibilities of war, which now is considered out of the question. Capt. J. Clayton Erb, confidential secretary to Israel W. Durham and one of the political leaders of Philadelphia, was shot and instantly killed at his country home, and Mrs. Catherine Baisdell, his wife's sister, is said to have admitted shooting him during a family quarrel.

Masked men held up an interurban car at Wellsville, O., and took $21 from the conductor. It is said the recent changes in the immigration department in California were the result of an investigation disclosing widespread corruption in the service along the Mexican border, by which hundreds of Chinese have gained illegal entrance to the United States. Great damage was done by a hurricane that swept over the Bahamas. Mrs. Hattie Demer of Kalamazoo, Mich., was instantly killed and Louis J. Feys of Detroit was probably fatally injured when the automobile in which they were riding was struck by a street car. The Atlantic battleship fleet arrived at Manila and prepared to take part in a water fete. Six boys were killed at Sugar Ridge, O., when a freight train on the Toledo & Ohio Central railroad crashed into a heavily laden excursion train returning from a fair at Bowling Green. It was reported that President Castro of Venezuela was seriously ill and might have to turn over the government to the vice-president. Detroit won the American league championship pennant. Norman E.

Draper of Saginaw, Mich., committed suicide 'by leaping over Niagara Falls. Twenty thousand soldiers and sailors took part in the first of the parades in celebration of Founders' week in Philadelphia. A bronze tablet at the city hall marking the site of the encampment of the French army under Gen. Rochambeau was unveiled. The medical board of army officers in the case of Col. William F. Stewart, U. S. A., placed in command of the ungarrisoned post at Fort Grant, Ariz, by President Roosevelt, reported that officer incapacitated from active service. Managers of 22 of the largest parks and circuses in the country have formed a syndicate controlling $32,000,000 worth of park and circus property. The janitor of one of the largest public schools in the Bronx, New York city, discovered a charge of dynamite in the foundation walls. The Trans-Mississippi congress opened in San Francisco with a thousand delegates present. While temporarily insane Jacob Hempfling, aged 70, a prosperous farmer who lived at Atwood, Ky., shot and fatally wounded his wife, and then killed himself. Eleven persons were killed, more than a dozen were injured and 30 escaped death by the narrowest margin in an incendiary fire which wrecked a tenement house on Mulberry street, New York. The Belgian steamer Tiflis, picked up 200 miles southwest of the Bahamas, a raft on board of which was the sole survivor of the crew of the American schooner Beulah McCabe, which foundered in a hurricane.

William Donaldson, aged 71* years, a civil war veteran, ate a pint of paris green with suicidal intent at Havana, Ill., and died in terrible agony. War in eastern Europe was made almost certain by the announced determination of Bulgaria to declare her independence from Turkey and the virtual annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria. Philadelphia began the celebration of Founders' week, marking the two hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the city by William Penn. Manila bay was swept by a fierce hurricane and considerable damage was done in the city, but the American battleships were uninured. An explosion of gas at the plant of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company's works, No. 2, at Tarentum, a suburb of Pittsburg, Pa., resulted in a loss by fire of $500,000 and threw 800 men out of employment. In one day's automobile accidents the killed were Dick Brink, a Grand Rapids merchant; Charles Weisbecker of Harlem, N. Y., and Mrs. Peter Young and daughter of Ashland, Pa. Fire in St. Louis destroyed the warehouse of the Campbell Glass & Paint Company, entailing a loss of $150,000. The International Congress on Tuberculosis, just before adjourning, put itself on record in opposition to the theory of Dr. Robert Koch, minimizing the danger of human infection from bovine tubercle bacilli. Fifteen thousand members of the Mormon church at Salt Lake City pledged themselves to support prohibition legislation. The Canadian Pacific machinists' strike was formally called off. The men return to work unconditionally. A bear escaped from its cage in a park at Tucson, Ariz., and killed a baby. Rev. Daniel Zanden either fell or jumped into the Calumet river at South Holland, Ill., and was drowned.

In these days of scientific progress, we are so blase as to be almost proof against surprise, and genius itself has to reach high altitudes to merit public exclamation. It was said of Prof. Owen that, give him a bone, and he could reconstruct Behemoth. There is a Parisian scientist at the moment who possesses the same power with hats. Give him a hat and he can diagnose the head that wore it. They gave him a hat the other day, and he said it must have been Cuvier's. Research unearned the bill of that hat, and proved the correctness of the diagnosis. What is more, further research unearned a portrait of Cuvier with the identical hat upon his head! Orcators Have Free Hand. Prof. Masterman, lecturing at Cambridge on modern England and the liberty of the subject, said there was enough treason spoken in Hyde park, London, on Sunday afternoons to fill a German fortress. Instead, the orators went home to tea. It is a remarkable fact, however, added the lecturer, that there is no state in Europe where attacks on the sovereign are so rare or so strongly resented by the people at large.

I took to my bed and stayed there four months, suffering intense pain, dizziness, headache and inflammation of the bladder.

"About twelve or fifteen years ago I had a breaking-out, and it itched, and stung so badly that I could not have any peace because of it. Three doctors did not help me. Then I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and I have not been bothered with the itching since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had a gripepe and pneumonia which left me with a pain in my side. Treatment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. The doctor was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but it did no good, then I used the Cuticura Remedies three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. F. Hennen, Milan, Mo, May 13, 1907." Australia's Wild Oysters. Oysters are sometimes regarded as dangerous but they are not usually considered savage. A Queensland judge, however, has decided that they are wild beasts. Before a royal commission on the pearling industry, which has been sitting at Brisbane, a witness stated that eight years ago he had laid 100,000 shells in the neighborhood of Friday island. The Japanese stole the shells, and the district court judge held that as pearl shell oysters were wild animals there was no penalty for stealing them. "SPOHN'S."
