TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 13. Millinery Extremes J. A. IN UNION THEM 15 STRONGEST TWENTY-SIXTH Millinery PRETTY FROCK FOR DANCING. Can Easily Be Made at Home from Plain Dress Pattern. This pretty dancing frock has a fancy shape yoke of sheer muslin or batiste, with a simple design embroidered in daisies. The back matches the front, and the lace is set on the back, the length of the shoulder, to match the line on the front. The lace, instead of adding at the neck, is laid in a curved line around the neck of the yoke, one inch below the finishing point. The back is done in the same manner and one row of insertion finishes the neck of the dress at the neck line. There is ```markdown ``` no collar. Between these two rows of insertion French knots are worked. The shape of the lower edge of the yoke should be traced on the pattern, and after the material for the skirt part has been put together and finished around the bottom and the box plaits and tucks laid in the top, then the pattern is laid on and the line marking the lower edge of the yoke is distinctly traced on the dress. The dress is cut out one-eighth of an inch above this traced line, the lower edge of the yoke is laid on the traced line, hasted and then hemmed down, after which the raw edge of the material is turned back and hemmed down. This dress can easily be made from a plain dress pattern. The pretty sleeves have a tucked strip on the under side three inches wide. This strip is set into the dress with the lace insertion. The lower edge of the sleeve is set with an embroidered band. A Recipe for Cologne. Only very delicate and carefully prepared toilet waters should be used. A good cologne is made of the foliowing ingredients: Essence of lemon, ten grams; essence of cedrat, ten grams; essence of bergamot, ten grams; essence of fine lavender, ten grams; essence of rosemary, four grams; essence of thyme, two grams; alcohol, two quarts. Mix the essences with the alcohol and filter through paper. Non-Crushable Velvets Velvets and velveteens will be prominent this autumn and winter, and they have never been of lighter weight or more serviceable-looking white. Some have the advantage of being "non-crushable." Striped velvets will be used to trim cloth-tailored gowns. THE GAZETTE Don't Try to Make Them Over, is Advice of Expert. The plaited skirt is passe. The proper thing is the many gored skirt, guiltless of plats. Yet we all have a plaited skirt or two. Shall it be ripped, sponged, the fullness taken out and the gores recut into plain, unplaited gores, asks Anne Rittenhouse in the Philadelphia Ledger. Then she says: "The earnest advice of anyone who knows is against this process. It is true that plain gored skirts are in first style, and if a woman is ordering a new suit she must be guided by this fact, but this does not argue that the plaited skirt is hopelessly out of style. "It is never a good plan to recut a cloth skirt. When one has to deal with cloth, it is hard to give it the tailor finish and keep it in style after it has been cut and pulled and ripped. "Unless it is too far out of style to be permissible, far better wear it as it is. If it is not wearable, far better sell it or give it away than take the time and money to work on what cannot be a good job." THE NEW DIRECTOIRE BELTS. Novelties Come in All Shades, to Match the Costume Worn. The woman with an eye for Christmas, or prizes, should invest in some of the directoire belts that are thought so smart just now. If she is clever at making things it is possible to save by buying materials. These belts come in all the soft pastel shades, in black, white and dark colors, or can be made to match any suit. They are three or four inches wide and long enough to tie at the left side and hang almost to the knees. Sometimes they are of satin, tucked in the middle and edged with ball fringe; again they are of satin ribbon and round cord, woven or plaited in five strands, pointed at the ends and finished with a silk tassel. When worn with an ordinary suit these belts are knotted around the waist line; with high empire skirts they are adjusted to the line at the top and fastened with a flat slide with a hook underneath that goes into a catch at the side of the skirt. Formula for Javelle Water Javelle water, invaluable for removing mildew and rust stains, may be made at home in the following manner: Place four pounds of bicarbonate of soda into a large granite or porcelain-lined can and pour over it four quarts of hot water. Stir with a stick until the soda has dissolved, add a pound of chloride of lime and stir until this also has dissolved. Allow the liquid to cool in the pan, strain the clear portion through thin cloths into wide-mouthed bottles or jugs and cork tightly for use. The part that contains the sediment may also be bottled and used for cleaning sinks, kitchen tables, etc. For Falling Hair. Ammonia is an effectual stimulant. Washing the scalp often in soft water containing ammonia, two spoonfuls to a large basin of water, a teapoonful of glycerine added to the water will prevent any harshness of the hair from its use. The tips of the hair should be trimmed once a month by careful examining and cutting the tip from every hair that seems dead or split. To Preserve Patent Leather 10 To Preserve Patent Leather. If you want your patent leather shoes to look really nice, clean them with French harness polish, which you can buy at any saddler's or harness-maker's. Rub it on thinly, then polish with a soft, woolly cloth. Besides making the shoes shine beautifully, this prevents the leather from cracking.

COMMENDS OUR COURSE. "The Gazette" Has Always Led Wise ly and Well, for the Good of the Race, He Says. Marsville, O., Oct. 20, 1908. Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: I heartily command you upon the stand that you have taken in this political crisis, and the colored people as a race apprehend you. You may be some that do not fully appreciate your efforts, the majority do and they know that it is not only at the present time that you have wielded your power and influence with a zeal in that you have taken an opportunity when humanity, reason and justice were at stake. We look to you as our leader and with the co-operation of the race may right be restored. Surely this is an awful situation and we must coolly and seriously act upon the same and not subdue it as the authorities institutes heaped upon us. The politic act of not voting for Taft is our only course. The colored man would have no interest contrary to the glory of the Republican party so long as they are not oppressed by the party. We are not represented as an oppressed party in our penal and other state institutions, kept up by taxation, we are very seldom represented by persons holding responsible positions. We now have the right to render our people miserable and discontented, or happy, and it is to our interest to do so. We must defend our friend, Senator J. B. Foraker. Let us with a unity of spirit and zeal promote the happiness and privileges of the race by acting wisely in November. Respectfully. THEY REMEMBER BROWNSVILLE And Tatt's Endorsement of Disfrain chisement and Jim-Crow" Gars Yongstown, O.-Tom Fleming and several others from Cleveland were here last week Wednesday evening to address a small Republican meeting of our voters. The amusing feature seems to be the fact that Tom was an active supporter of a man by the name of Hubbell (white) who was the Democrat candidate for the bounty. Two ward of city, not so long ago. He is foreman of the barber shop in the Chamber of Commerce building in Cleveland and is not a man of influence among our people of that city. The great mass of Cleveland Afro-Americans will not vote for Taft and cannot be "boodlezed" into doing so. Practically the same feeling exists here among our constituents the pitiful efforts among the Clevelanders to be favorable to Mr. "Disfranchisement Jim-Crow" Carr. Taft were as amusing as their English was bad. The man from Norwalk by the STRONGLY REBUKED BY PRESS CONVENTION "PROVE YOUR MANHOOD!" "Strike Hard When You Strike and Hit the Nail on the Head"—A Woman's Appeal. Bonneville, Orc., Oct. 19, 1908. Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: You "hit the nail on the head" in your last issue when you urged the advisability of giving the Republican party a good lesson, while about it. One complete strike hard when you do strike, and many a long year will pass e'er you have to do it again. If you only slap a drunken man you madden him, but knock him down and he will behave. As sure as there is a God in heaven, if you defeat Taft and Hughes and Longworth and every other man, great strike hard when you do strike tized with Roosevelt this year you will not have it to do again for a generation. I see Senator Bradley of Kentucky says you should not blame the party for Taft's part in the Brownies in- spired by the Democrats, who selves "participate criminis" when they nominated him over the protests of the colored people and every other true Republican. He says the Democrats have never done anything for the Ne- gro. Well, in '84, when the Irish re- volted from the Democrats, they said the Republicans never did anything for the Republican ticket just the same and today both parties court the Irish. The Democrats cannot treat you any worse than Roosevelt and his man "Friday" have done. And you are not becoming Democrats. You are only cleansing the Republican party from the biggest crowd of corrupt, ungrateful, selfish, scandily, domineering, demagogues and rosses any party was ever cursed with. In a crowded street sometimes a sneak-thief escapes by crying thief, and appearing to chase another man, who is entirely innocent. And when one man or a few men begin to abuse the most of the American people, I imagine their own hands are not clean. Don't be blarneyed or frightened. Prove your manhood now, and defeat the worst captain or small who has joined hands with your enemies. So shall the "Grand Old Party" be brought back to the first principles and in 1912 a man whom we can honor, love and admire, lead its cohorts to a deserved victory. MRS. PATRICIA ROBINSON Big Mass Meeting Adopts Resolutions Assailing His Republicanism— Minister Powell. Camden, N. J.—Colored voters of Camden, who crowded Scott A. M. E. church a few nights ago to hear the issues of the campaign presented by leaders of the race, adopted lengthy resolutions pledging their opposition to Judge Hatt. The resolutions were not intended to minister to Haytl under President McKinley. They arraigned the Republican nominee for saying it was a mistake to give our race the right to vote, charged that he did not represent the true sentiment of he Republican party as expressed by Lincoln, Grant, Foraker and McKinley, and criticized him or our ruling party if elected, because of the army's soldiers discharged without honor. Bishop Alexander Walters of New York made the principal address, praising William J. Bryan for his fairness to white man and black alike, and charging that the Republican party has drifted far from its position in the years immediately following it. Rev. J. Milton Waldon, of Washington, D. C., also spoke. Resent "Double-Dealing." How any self-respecting Negro in Ohio can vote for Taft is a riddle to me, since the blessing conferred by justice and humanity more eagerly than I do. Whatever difference your people may otherwise have, this they ought to do: be a decent dealing vote for anybody. But don't vote for Taft—in Ohio at least. JACOB EGBERTH (white). SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED URGING MEMBERS OF THE RACE TO DEFEAT NOMINEE TAFT. MR. ROOSEVELT IS SCORED Senator Joseph Benson Foraker is Strongly Endorsed for His Grand Work in the Brownsville Matter—Held the Meeting Just the Same. Pittsburg, Pa.—The Eastern and Inter-State Negro Press association, in convention in the John Wesley Methodist church last week Thursday denounced the treatment Afro-Americans have received from the Republican party. "we have watched the political trend of the country" they declare, "and it has proven that we have been tools in the hands of traducers and we are not unmindful of the treatment of the present administration. "We have stood by the Republican party and turned defeat into victory, yet to-day we are maligned by them as unfit for the debased people." The convention passed the following resolution: "Whereas, William H. Taft, former secretary of war, has been nominated for president of the United States on the Republican ticket by 'steam-roller' process, a candidate of President Roosevelt and not of the people, and heralded as the most eligible candidate for the position, and "Whereas, William H. Taft, in his speeches at Greensboro, N. C., and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1906, viewed without protest the deplorable discrimination of the federal constitution in the matter of disfranchisement of citizens, made so by 'illy-white' Republicans. Bank Discrimination Against Soldiers Rank Discrimination Against Soldiers. "Whereas, William H. Taff, after the dismissal without honor of 167 soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownvilleville lot, publicly stamped the military authority and the machinery of the military department has not been able to prove them guilty or warrant their unmerited punishment, and "Whereas, the present administration has thought it unwise to blot out the future of young white soldiers by dismissal without honor for similar occurrences on two recent occasions, though the white soldiers were given trial and found guilty, therefore." "Resolved that, we as loyal American citizens, voice our protest against William H. Taff's election as president, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations. Notwithstanding the special planks in the Republican platforms of 1904 and 1908, that favor enforcing the amendments to the federal constitution, nothing has been done to carry out those planks; which indicates a lack of Republican principles, courage and integrity, and because of his indorsement without honor of the 167 soldier, the military authority, which should characterize the individual who holds the highest office in the gift of the nation. We are against him for the mud-slinging efforts to down Senator Foraker for being on our side. Furthermore, be it To Support Senator Foraker. To Support Senator Porker. "Resolved, That we call upon the Negro voters of Ohio to first support Joseph Porker. We must on, for re-election to the United States senate and ever afterward to any position to which he may aspire. And we call upon the Negro voters of the country, who have a spark of manhood left, to show their disapproval of the present incumbent of the office of President, and actually the power behind the throne if Taft is elected; and to William H. Taft for his unprincipled character, which we believe will be detrimental to our people if given an opportunity, by working ardently for the defeat of Mr. Taft on the third of next month. "We warn all Republicans, who now or hereafter seek office and who support William H. Taft for the presidency, that they are jeopardizing the good will and future support of the loyal voters of our race." The resolution was signed by the following: G. W. Wright of a New York City office; J. Newport, Newport News; A. J. H. Browell, Newport; C. J. Walker, Pittsburg; J. E. Perkinson, Butler. A Hot Time at the Church. A Hot Time at the Church. The publication of the above resolutions nearly caused heart failure in the county Republican executive committee and white Republicans generally, for greater Pittsburg (and Alleghany) has thousands of Afro-American voters nearly all of whom have the "Remember Brownsville" slogan on the end of their tongues all the time. The county Republican executive committee, slizifying of cheap Negroes, some of whom, we are sorry to say, were officers and members of John Wesley church where the editor of The Gazette was scheduled to speak on "Journalism" (and not politics), last week Friday evening, the day the committee sent to the church our local papers. When he and the committee sent to the train to meet him, arrived at the church about 8 p. m., hundreds of people were assembled in the street in front of its doors while the loud-mouthed paid agents of the Republican committee shouted: "Come to church to night." The ladies of the church had prepared things to sell IN UNION THERE IS STRONGER after the address and were selling tickets of admission at 15 cents each. A hall, not 200 feet from the church, was immediately secured and there the crowd went to listen to the exceptionally interesting address of the editor of The Gazette, with the result that they lost about $75. Arrangements are being perfected to have Mr. Smith visit Pittsburgh next week to deliver a political speech, if his services can be secured. His address last Friday evening greatly please us, and an audience will be no trouble to crowd the largest hall to be secured for such a meeting in the "Twin Cities." He is popular as a speaker and lecturer here. J. C. W. STAND FOR SENATOR FORAKERI Some Men Our People Cannot Support and Retain Their Self-Respect—Personal Reminiscence, Springfield, O.—We are against anybody that is against Hon. J. B. Foraker, and that includes Taft. Mr. Brenner says, it is said, that he has but very little confidence in the Negro vote, and in the hall of the Junior Order of American Mechanics, it is also said, that he made the statement that he was not a Negro, and that therefore, very unreliable from our viewpoint. He made the same remark, it is said, at a political gathering at New Carlisle. There are other men here, as well as Brenner, depending on the Negro vote. There is a man here by the name of Wright, whom I honestly believe has not any more knowledge than any other named. There is still another individual, the candidate for sheriff, who "could not tell" any man who entered the jail during the Dixon riot, or any of the rioters, or even one person that was in the jail yard. Now, we ask the Negro Republicans of Clarke county if they can go to the polls and vote for such a person. Not only Negrades, but also many others live in true citizenship, Deaton, candidate for state senator, is from another town where a lynching occurred, and was prosecutor of the county (Champaign) at the time. It is said that he failed to convict any one that engaged in the "Click" Mitchell riot. He was convicted of gross attention to in Clarke county. There are other matters just as important; we will speak of them later on. NO TAFT OR ROOSEVELT IN THEIRS. Xenia, O.—The anti-Taft feeling among our voters here continues very strong. Great effort has been brought to bear to stamp it out but in vain. Fully two-thirds have determined to cast their votes against the Roosevelt administration, the local Republican managers are scared to death. They are beginning to publish all sorts of falsehoods relative to our voters. One of the Dayton newspapers says: "There are seven Taft clubs in Xenia," when in fact there is only one with only eight members. It also published a state convention which met in Dayton last week indorsed Taft, when in fact not one word was said about him during the life of the convention. The editor positively refused to retract his false statement; so let every Negro voter fall in line and FIGHT to the last "ditch," if it fails to affer Hanna Man Glves Bryan Ohio Hanna Man Gives Bryan Ohio. Washington, D. C.—Rev. M. W. Hissey (white) of Zanesville, an intimate friend and legislative agent of the late Senator M. A. Hanna, is quoted here as saying that Ohio will attack Bryan Hanna's bitter attack on President Roosevelt, declares that "the people of Ohio present Mr. Roosevelt's attempt to assassinate the character of one of her foremost citizens, Senator B. J. Foraker." He also says that 60 per cent of the Negro vote and 80 per cent of the labor vote of the state will be Republican, and that of the 500,000 Republicans in Ohio 150,000 are Forakerites, and that Mr. Taft will lose a large number of these. Fighting "Jim Crow" Schools Parsons, Kan.—Mandamus proceedings were recently commenced in court to compel the board of education to admit Afro-American pupils to school. The city has just completed a school building for our children. About half of the pupils refuse to attend the separate school. The right of the city to separate the children on the color line is raised in the court, but the allegation is made that the school building being in the railroad district it is dangerous for the children to attend school there.

SMITH Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature. 1890 to 1891 1890 to 1893 1890 to 1892 Cleveland, Saturday, Oct. 24, 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. Gov. Harris still refuses to ask the resignation of ex-Mayor Ganson of Urbana, the city in which "Click" Mitchell was lynched some years ago. Do not forget this. The "illy-white" Republicans of Georgia did all in their power to encourage that state to vote its endorsement of a disfranchisement measure and were successful on October 7. We do not believe the Associated Press story to the effect that Chicago Afro-Americans have opened a public skating rink from which decent white people are debarred. It "sounds fishy"—the story. Our people have not dropped to the low level of the fool-prejudiced whites. Senators Lodge of Massachusetts and Warner of Missouri were two of the bitterest tees of "The Black Bat tailion" during the senate investigation of the Brownsville "affray." We have not forgotten that fact, nor are we likely to. It is an insult to any decent Afro-American to ask him to listen to a speech by either of the individuals named, during the present campaign. Remember Brownsville! GREENSBORO, N. C., AGAIN. Mr. Taft, as about all of our people now know, practically endorsed disfranchisement and "illy-whiteism" in a speech at Greensboro, N. C., in July, 1906. On October 17, last Saturday, he again delivered an address in that city and, among other things, took pains say: "Now the Republican party of North Carolina has followed my advice, and is standing today shoulder to shoulder to carry this old north state into the Republican column. * * * "What I should like to bring about here, and it would be a result in which I should have the intensest pride, if I could be the humble instrument, is bringing the states, north and south, closer together in one political union, as they now have, I believe, conscientiously, one political creed. "You must remove every obstruction before they (the white) come to the North Carolina state to the Republican ticket. Now, you have done that, and I am looking forward with great hopefulness to the result." At the time that he made his first speech (in 1906) the white Republicans seemed to understand that, by nominating "men who could command support," Mr. Taft meant the elimination of Afro-American candidates and voters, and that is what they have done. That is why, also, Afro-Americans of the north and south are at tacking him. The Afro-American voter is eliminated as a political factor in North Carolina. He has lost his place in the councils of the Republican party, not one of the race having been a member of that state's conventions of the last three years. The affairs of the organization are exclusively in the hands of white men. There was not an Afro-American Republican aboard the special train with Taft last Saturday as a representative of his party, and none took part in any of the meetings as an official of the same. This condition is due entirely to Taft's endorsement of disfranchisement and "illy-whiteism" in his Greensboro speech of 1908. There are 30,000 Afro-American voters in the state who can successfully meet the educational requirements who will not register. All efforts to have them do so have failed. Why? Because, also, of Roosevelt and Taft's indorsement of "illy-whiteism" the elimination of the Afro-American as a candidate, or officer in the conventions or organizations of the Republican party of not only North Carolina but the entire southland. What more do northern Afro-Americans want? A knowledge of his endorsement of "Jim-Crow" cars in his now notorious Lexington, Ky., speech of 1907; and his repeated public endorsement of his own and Roosevelt's policy in the Brownsville matter; and his and Roosevelt's continued insults thrust into the faces of our people generally and Senator Foraker, anent that outrageous affair? What about those one hundred and sixty-seven "lynched" (discharged without honor) members of "The Black Batmilien," have we no care for them either? A vote for Taft is an endorsement of all this and more. How in God's name can any sane member of the race with one spark of manhood, self-respect and race pride cast a ballot with the names of Taft electors upon it? Cross them off, brothers, as you would wipe the dirt from your face. Be MEN! Olean, N. Y., News. The A. M. J.

If the Negro is a man mentally, if he possesses any manhood, if he has any self-respect and race-pride, if he even intends to demonstrate to the country and world that he is capable of comprehending an insult and resenting an indignity, this is the most opportune time offered him since his emancipation. Am I a Republican? Yes, but a Negro first. With them I stand and fall. The president has branded ten millions of Negroes in this country as a warrior outlaw of civilization. He has the New Negroient mental ability and manhood to resent it at the polls on November 32. (REV.) H. C. BAULEY. Herrick on Roosevelt Sandusky, 'O—Ex-Gov.

A RANK INSULT FROM ROOSEVELT HE AND TAFT SEEK TO MAKE A SCAPEGOAT OF SENATOR FORAKER. ONE HALF WILL VOTE FOR CRYAN Says Rev. Dr. W. O. Emory of Georgia — "Lily Whitseem" Endorsed by Roosevelt and Taft and the Recent National Republican Convention at Chicago. Cincinnati. O.—Rev. W. O. Emory, a prominent Afro-American of Macon, Ga. who attended the convention of the National League of Republican Clubs, and who as a delegate to the Chicago national convention seconded the nomination of Senator Foraker for the presidency, gave out a statement that Mr. Tatt's attitude in the Brownville affair, and denouncing the attitude taken by President Roosevelt in his statement, relative to the Brownville matter and the senator. Dr. Emory said: "I am hardly in condition to speak of Mr. Tatt's campaign in the light of President Roosevelt's public letter relative to "Brownville," Senator Foraker and the Negro. The prescience do not know that the publication of Mr. Tatt's two latter infinite harm just at this time. The Negroes of the country are not in that frame of mind that will stand punching and nagging. "Now, in view of the distranchisement that threatens the Negro in Georgia and other unfavorable conditions that await my race, I feel much embarrassed at the situation these new developments create. All decent Negro leaders in Georgia are advising me for Joseph M. Brown, who defended Gov. William Jackson last Democratic primary. I believe that fully half of the Negroes of the country will vote for Bryan, unless a different attitude is assumed toward the Negro by the present management of the Republican campaign. It is not wise when Mr. Taft and the president are seeking southern friendship and planning to break up the self-sold and encouraging 'lily whitism', that was encouraged in the manner of Negroes living in the southern states should vote against the interest of his white neighbor at his door. "The party leaders make a mistake when they hold Mr. Foraker responsible to any degree whatever for the attitude taken by the colored people in the Brownsville matter. What are the facts? The Negroes had no idea that Mr. Foraker to look after this matter in the Senate, but at the beginning thought of Senators Crane or Spooner. Not until religious bodies of Negro bishops, college presidents, Baptist conventions, the Negro press and other organizations petitioned congressmen and senators in this matter, who referred them to Senator Foraker, did he take up their denomination." Mr. Foraker is now being made the scapegoat of venom, hate and prejudice from his own party leaders because he has dared to speak out for this black race that has not a representative in the congress of this nation. Let us quote our Republican president: "An entire agitation over Brownsville was in large part not a genuine agitation on behalf of the colored men at all." "Does President, Roosevelt think that Negro bishops, college presidents, preachers, teachers and other honest Negro organizations were either insincere or so ignorant that they could not influence the decision of the race had been stiffed and left alone to bleed and die? Is not the Negro race far enough removed from wholesale ignorance and depravity to know when they have been insulted, unless white men tell them that the motive of Senator Foraker (and his whole course in the matter shows nothing but self-sacrifice and devotion to constitutional liberty) the facts as regard the soldiers remain the same, so Negro's passions are the tariff or guarantee bank deposits or corporate wealth, but how he shall be elevated, religiously, morally, intellectually, and to have a 'square deal' in earning an honest livelihood at living wages. As I see it, someone did something isn't done very speedily to clear up matters as respects the Negro." "HOT ONES" FOR "TEDDY." He is the same Theodore Roosevelt who personally licensed the steel trust to acquire the Tennessee Coal & Iron Co. regardless of the Sherman law. He is the same Theodore Roosevelt who commended the reactionary corporation platform adopted by the Chicago Teachers Union, James S. Sherman as the Republican candidate for vice president. Mr. Roosevelt is greatly scandalized by Senator Foraker's unseemly relations with the Standard Oil Co.; but what if Foraker had been a supporter of "my policies" instead of an opponent of "my policies"? Would the president have preemptively repudiated him or would the same mangle of exaggeration, better known as Joseph Benson Foraker that was once thrown over Paul Morton after that gentleman had been accused of granting rebates?-New York World.

TAFT DRAGS THE SOLDIERS BY THE NECK TO ROOSEVELT WHO KICKS THEM IN! SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER On Roosevelt, Taft and "Brownsville"—Do Not Vote for Taft. And now comes the president and publishes Judge Taft's letter containing his unfortunate reference to this unfortunate case. What does he mean? Does anybody imagine that the president is unable to see that he is rubbing (irratiating) a sore when he should have brought a plaster? Does he imagine, or can anybody suppose that the Republican colored voters of this country can be brought to the support of Judge Taft by parading in these closing days of the campaign Judge Taft's belittling of their chief grievance by mentioning it as "an incidental matter"? Can it be possible that the president wants to defeat Judge Taft? That cannot be, and yet he could hardly do any other one thing better calculated to make a self-respecting Negro vote against Judge Taft. If in making this defense, * * * * I shall always feel that those who have no consideration for me, my family or good name, but would gloatingly rejoice if they could accomplish the shame and humiliation they have attempted are not entitled to any consideration at my hands and that my duty to the party should be subordinated to duty to my family and the good name I have striven to make that I may leave it to them as their heritage, more priceless in their estimation than anything else within my power to give them. P. SENIOR BISHOP OF THE GREAT A. M. E. CHURCH. A Fighting Chaplain in the Army During the War of The Rebellion. 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 TO HIM, AND HAD MEN APPOINTED, IN TEN MINUTES. OURSELF And we believe, at heart, William J. Bryan is, as wood as President Clever land 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 and women are degraded and 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 since 1870, and the number increase would make us number at least 17,000,000 as we believe 19,000,000 for these census enumerators are wilful liers, 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 the A. M. E. church. The old stereotyped lie, which is published regularly every four years during national campaigns by Republicans, is being featured these days. It states that the Republican president, holding office at the time of the publication, has appointed more Negroes to office than any other president in the history of the country. This time the lie is a bigger one than usual, for the very good reason that President Roosevelt has appointed fewer Afro-Americans to office and boasted of it in a letter to Editor Clark Howell of the Atlanta (Ga.) Republican - United States Supreme Court Against Equal Rights. The Republican party is of no use to the Negro. A Republican supreme court has decided in favor of our degradation, and looks favorably upon every man and woman who is lynched, absolutely for nothing. So it matters but little whether we vote for a Republican or for a Democrat or for a Democrat who also bear the name of a party, against white against black, and the blacks have no manhood enough to seek a country they can manage for themselves, or even here to proclaim their independence. White Negro-haters might hang or bury a thousand a day, AND REPUBLIC OUTSIDE OF ONE OR Two WOULD OPEN THEIR MOUTHS. THE SUPREME COURT HAS STRIPPED THE NEGRO OF EVERY CIVIL RIGHT TILL HE IS NATIONALLY A HUMAN DOG, AND THE REPUBLICAN DOG, AND DONE BY DOING NOTHING TO ENWEY OUR CONDITION.—Bishop H. M. Turner in the Atlanta (Ca.) Voice of the People. 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 makeshifts are raising on ransoms of thousands murdered or murdered of thousands without judge or jury, disfranchised by whole states and "JimCrow" cars carried on till the same runs into the national capital, and other states where freedom has existed for a hundred years. The black 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 nothing about it, but to the contrary, endorse the hellish and outrageous means. 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, unrightous, unreasonable and dishonest judges of the supreme court out of office, and see that judges were put in that have some sense of justice—Bishop H. M. Turner. Constitution, than any other Republican president. Nearly all of those members of the race holding federal positions, whose names appear upon the list being published these days in certain race papers, presumably in the interest of Taft, the president's human phonograph and candidate, secured their positions as the result of civil service examinations, and are in nowise obligated to President Roosevelt or Taft, for the same. The total registration in Cincinnati was 93,786, an increase of 8,002. "KICKING LIKE BAY STEERS." How the truth does hurt sometimes, and how cowardly and servile Negroes and designing white racals are made to wince under its stinging lash, is splendidly illustrated in the following communication from one of our representatives, a loyal, manly and brave member of the race: De Sotó, Mo., Aug. 8, 1908. Editor Gazette.—Dear Sir: Some of the Colored Republicans are kicking like a "bay steer" because I am selling the paper here, and some of the white Republicians are doing likewise. They say you are bought by the Democrats to make a fight against Tatt. I tell them that I be lieve you are willing to make affidavit that you are not bought by the Democrats but are working for the good of our race. Yours respectfully. HENRY LEE. Will Make Affidavit, With Pleasure. Cleveland, O., Oct. 9, 1908. Mr. Henry Lee, Dear Sir: Your letter just received. Please say to all, white and black alike, Republican or other party, who say that any individual or individuals, party or parties, or any one or more or anything else have purchased or can purchase the support of The Gazette or myself, that they lie maliciously and know it when they do so if they have read my paper or know anything of it or me personally. My record for more than 25 years in the newspaper business and nearly, if not quite as many. In public life, such that no honest and honorable person, in this section of the country or wherever either my paper or my self are known, ever dares to insinuate such, let alone bring the charges openly. Then, too, the falsity of such a charge is proved by every issue of my paper. We are not supporting the candidates of either or any party, but are fighting known enemies of the race. I have only urged our people to refrain from supporting Taff. Whom they vote for, if indeed they vote at all IS A MATTER FOR THEM TO DETERMINE. The columns of The Gazette have been opened to its patrons and readers for full and free expressions along the line of the policy of the paper, indicated in the immediate preceding sentences. Stand your ground and fight! just as The Gazette is doing. We are but doing our duty to our selves, our families and the race. That is paramount to all else in this political campaign as far as the honorable and loyal Afro-American is concerned. You are at liberty to show this let us to whoever you please. See Sims. The editor of The Gazette stands ready to make aidlavit, as indicated in Mr. Lee's letter, at any time, for any reputable and honorable person who may ask it and will do so in a proper spirit. We have never permitted this paper or ourselves to get down to the plane of the BOODLER, as some of our contemporaries, supporting Taft and Sherman, have, be it daid to their everlasting shame and dishonor; nor will we ever do so. The "lightning changes" of a number of loudmouthed individuals and papers of color, since the beginning of the Taft campaign for the nomination and particularly since the national convention at Chicago which is alleged to have nominated him, have been so spectacular that we are simply astoundd at their brazen exhibitions, and vain attempts to justify them. Thank God! we are not of this class. As The Gazette has been for more than 25 years, so it is to-day, and ever shall be as long as its one editor in all these years edits it—LOYAL TO THE RACE first always, after Almighty God. At the opening of the Republican campaign at Muskogee, Oklahoma, in Hinton theater last month, not an Aro-American was permitted to sit on the stage or on the first floor of the theater. All were restricted to a gallery by the Taft "illy-wites" of that state. The Langston (Okla.) Western Age, a race publication, says our professional men and others of Oklahoma were and are still "furious" as a result of their outrageous mistreatment. DEATH LIST WILL REACH 300 PHILIPPINES VISITED BY DISASTROUS STORM. Rivers Were Flooded and Swept Everything Before Them in Their Path to the Sea. Manila, P. I.-Belated reports indicate that the storm of October 12 in the Cagayan Valley was the worst and most destructive within the memory of living inhabitants of the valley. The official figures are not yet available as many places have not been heard from, but it seems certain that the number jedel to reach 300. There was a heavy typhoon and torential rains throughout the valley and in the mountains. The rivers were flooded and in many places rose to a height of 30 feet, sweeping everything before them in their path to the sea. Hundreds of animals and houses were swept away by the waters. At Aparri, which was almost all under water, the American residents headed by Leuts, Treadway and Clark, Postmaster Foss and Engineer Clark formed a brigade which rescued scores of natives, taking many off their houses which were floating down the river. The government has dispatched a coast guard cutter to investigate conditions and organize relief. The number of cholera cases has increased slightly during the last 24 hours, seven new cases and eight suspicious cases being reported. The recent seismic disturbances which have been agitating the earth in the vicinity of Manila during the last three days seems to have come to an end. Fifty-five separate shocks are shown in the seismograph records for the last 12 hours, and of the total number of shocks recorded since the disturbances began, the report extending over a period of 30 hours, two are capable of causing "pillar" films as "impetible" and the rest as "microscopic" Telegraphic reports from various parts of the island show that the disturbances were most strongly felt on the east coast of Luzon, but no damage is reported. BRYAN TRAVELS ACROSS OHIO Dellivers 16 Speeches in as Many Different Buckeye Cities. Marietta, O.—Monster crowds and lusty cheering was Ohio's greeting to William Jennings Bryan on Wednesday. Just before the Democratic candidate passed over the line into West Virginia late at night he expressed himself as exceedingly well pleased with the receptions accorded him in the native state of his Republican opponent. Although the day was a hard one for him, Mr. Bryan exhibited no signs of fatigue. Inspired by the fact that he literally was carrying his warfare into the camp of his political enemy he spoke with a vigorousness that even those who have been constantly with him throughout the campaign could not help but note. At Akron before an immense throng Mr. Bryan demanded that President Roosevelt correct the misstatement which he said the president had made to the effect that the Democratic national committee had received $300,000 from the old national committee or from some other source. Sixteen speeches were made by the candidate Wednesday. Flood Caused Great Damage. Holly, Col.-With a mile and a half of its main track washed out by the flood of water that spread over the country between Lamar and La Junta as a result of the storm of Saturday and Sunday last, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad was on Wednesday compelled to abandon trains, but officials believe that the regular schedule will be resumed soon. The loss to the railroad alone is estimated at $250,000, and this will be considerably added to when definite reports of losses to farmers are received. Reports from Amity, where is situated the Salvation Army colony, say that five feet of water inundated the tonw and caused great damage. Awarded For Heroism. Pittsburgh, Pa.—The Carnegie Hero Fund commission at its quarterly meeting here on Wednesday recognized 48 persons as having performed acts of heroism deserving recognition under the rules governing the fund provided by Mr. Carnegie. Each of these persons was awarded a medal, bronze, silver or gold—and a number of them were also awarded cash for educational or other purposes. The cash awards made Wednesday amount to $40,000, of which $25,700 was given outright, the remainder being in monthly benefits to windows and children or other dependents. Embezzler Kemp Is Sentenced Washington, D. C.—Two years in the Moundsville, W. Va., penitentiary was the sentence imposed Wednesday upon James Kemp, former chief clerk and property clerk of the police department of this city, who was convicted of misappropriating $4,000 of the funds of that department. Two Disastrous Fires Vincentnes, Ind.-A fire loss of $100,000 was caused last night when the grain elevators of Bartlett, Kuhn & Co. of Terre Haute, along the river bank, plant of the Empire Paper Co. were destroyed by two disastrous fires.

Aro-Americans of Cleveland are alive to their interests in the present campaign and are certainly doing a great deal of thinking these days. The following is excellent evidence of that fact. The Colored Men's league and the Douglass club met in joint session on Tuesday evening, October 20, in Woodliff hall and an extremely interesting session. The attendance was large and the audience extremely enthusiastic. After considerable spirited discussion the organization took the most advanced stand of a political nature ever taken by two such organizations. After Cleveland when they almost unanimously adopted the following resolutions: We, members of the Colored Men's Republican League club and the Frederick A. Douglass Republican club, in joint meeting assembled, believing that we are expressing the sentiments of the people of the city of Cleveland do resolve. First—That the principles upon which the Republican party is founded are the only correct principles which should govern the conduct of the American citizen in politics. Second—That only in those principal principles is the American citizen expounded by Lincoln, Garfield, Frederick Douglass and Senator Foraker, can the American Negro hope to rise to the dignity of full citizenship. Third—That while we indorse Republican principles, we do so with the full knowledge and belief THAT ALL MEN PLACED UPON THE REPUBLIC HARMONY WITH THOSE FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS. Committee: Mitchell Bam, C.

Hirstius' name from your ticket. As councilman from the Twelfth ward, he not only continues to refuse to cut a street through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry and Hirstius, but a few prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to do so because colored people would come through the street from Cedar avenue and peep in their windows. Hirstius even withdrew an ordinance which he introduced in the council about a year ago (authorizing the proper city authorizations for the street in the request of the above mentioned prejudiced Cedar avenue residents. Last fall when he was re-elected to the council, Hirstius, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but up to date has steadily refused to keep his promise.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1908. 1 Paris Pattern No. 2610, All Seams Allowed.—The wide tuck over the shoulders, which gives this waist its name, is stitched to the bust line in front and to the waist line in the back, and gives the only perceptible fullness. The model is particularly suitable for messaline, satin or chiffon, and a pretty style is to wear one of the large lace yokes, which may be bought ready made, as seen in the illustration. It also adapts itself to hand embroidery, and is simple in construction and becoming when worn. The sleeves are in the mousquetaire style, and are made over a lining. The pattern is in six sizes—32 to 42 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the waist requires 4¼ yards of material 20 inches wide, 3½ yards 27 inches wide, 2½ yards 36 inches wide or two yards 42 inches wide; one ready-made yoke. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to Pattern Department, of this paper. Write your order to the following to give size and number of pattern. NO 2610. SIZE..... NAME..... TOWN.....

Paris Pattern No. 2558, All Seams Allowed.—This juniant little outside garment for the small boy is developed in dark blue, green, or brown broadcloth, Venetian cloth, serge, tweed, chevot, or covert cloth, as well as in black or blue frieze, which is much used for boys' coats. The model falls straight from the shoulders, and is fastened in double-breasted effect with cloth-covered or bone buttons. A black patent leather belt gives the long-waisted effect, but if desired this and the cuffs on the regulation coat sleeves may be omitted, and the latter finished with a straight stitched edge and ornamented with small buttons, matching those on the front of the coat. The pattern is in four sizes—two to eight years. For a boy of six years the coat requires $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards of material 27 inches wide, or $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards 54 inches wide. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department, of this paper, for the use of this garment to give size and number of pattern. NO 2585. SIZE..... NAME..... TOWN..... STREET AND NO..... STATE.... Ants That Protect Trees. The ant has always been an object of interest to man, ever since the days the sluggard was referred to it. Tiny as an ants are, they display so many unusual and apparently intelligent movements that they might be accused of thinking a good deal, if it wasn't for the danger of nature faking. There is a tree in South America, a beautiful, tropical growth with a Latin name, which is protected by a kind of ant which seems to have been placed as a garrison of defense by some wise provision of nature. Some of these ants may always be found doing sentry duty around the large leaves of the trees, and they serve to protect the leaves from the leaf-cutting ant, another species which is disastrous to vegetation. At the approach of these leaf-cutting ants, the ants which guard the tree appear in great numbers and clean up the invaders. Personality Always Wins Personal force never goes out of fashion. That is still paramount today, and, in the moving crowd of good society the men of value and reality are known and rise to their natural place.—Emerson. THREE WEEKS. Brought About a Remarkable Change. Mrs. A. J. Davies of Murray, KY, says: "When I began using Doug's wis of Murray, KY., began using Douan's kidney Pills, kidney disease was slowly poisoning me. Dizzy spells almost made me fall, sharp palms like knife thrusts would catch me in the back, and finally an attack of Kidney Pills, kidney disease was slowly poisoning me, Dizzy spells almost made me fall, sharp pains like knife thrusts would catch me in the back, and finally an attack of grip left me with a constant agonizing backache. Doan's Kidney Pills helped me quickly and in three weeks' time there was not a symptom of kidney trouble remaining." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y.

Game Youngster Preferred Drastic Action in Punishment. "Youngsters are pretty philosophical," observed Wallace Knight, and then he went ahead to set forth the point of view of a small daughter at his house. The child was sent to bed early the other evening as punishment for some act contrary to rules and regulations. After she had been tucked in bed for some time and was supposedly asleep, the youngster called her father and told him she wished he would go ahead and spank her and have it over with, instead of sending her off to bed that way. "This lying in bed never's going to make me any better," she said, "and a good spanking would. Besides it makes me so mad I can't sleep and so what's the use of it?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Legend of Magnie and Robin. Legend of Magpie and Robin. The peasants of France, in accordance with a tradition, pierce the head of a magpie with a thorn whenever they catch one. According to the French legend, after Jesus had been nailed to the cross two birds alighted on the extended arms of the instrument of death. One was a magpie with a beautiful aligrette on its head and a long waving tail, then the hand-somest of birds but the wickedest, chirping insult at the suffering Jesus. The other bird was a modest little bird with gray plumage, which approached the cross timidly, uttering cries of grief. With its beak it tried to pluck away one of the thorns. A single drop of the blood fell on the plitting little gray bird and gave the robin redbreast. The Square Deal. A stout and oblent man dwelling in a suburban town had borne the expense of the annual Sunday school picnic, and the superintendent of the school, out of gratitude, asked the benefactor to address the children. The philanthropist was not much of a speaker, but he was a master hand at poker. When he found himself gazing into the expectant faces of a hundred and fifty children his embarrassment almost overcame him, but he managed to stammer out: "My dear children, what I want to impress upon you is that-er-er-er it pays to be good. That er-er-er-a man who deals from the bottom of the pack is generally buried at the public expense." Ready. Whatever Happens. "Work as though you were to live forever; live as though you were to die to-night," says an old writer. It is counsel that fits many, though the man whose life is well insured may claim some exemption. He has no need of working as though death were ready to come, for he has already anticipated and guarded his dependents against the monetary distress that so often trails in the grim visitor's wake. As for the rest of the advice, his policies are tangible evidence of his noble forethought and readiness to die, if need be, to-night. NOT A MIRACLE. Just Plain Cause and Effect. There are some quite remarkable things happening every day, which seem almost miraculous. Some persons would not believe that a man could suffer from coffee drinking so severely as to cause spells of unconsciousness. And to find complete relief in changing from coffee to Postum is well worth recording. "I used to be a great coffee drinker, so much so that it was killing me by inches. My heart became so weak I would fall and lie unconscious for an hour at a time. The spells caught me sometimes two or three times a day. "My friends, and even the doctor, told me it was drinking coffee that caused the trouble. I would not believe it, and still drank coffee until I could not leave my room. "Then my doctor, who drinks Postum himself, persuaded me to stop coffee and try Postum. After much hesitation I concluded to try it. That was eight months ago. Since then I have had but few of those spells, none for more than four months. "I feel better, sleep better and am better every way. I now drink nothing but Postum and touch no coffee, and as I am seventy years of age all my friends think the improvement quite remarkable." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pigs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. CORNET BROUGHT ABOUT PEACE. Spite Controversy Happily Ended Without Legal Warfare. "Fellow was raising bees back in the foothill country," remarked Frank H. Short of Fresno. "Plenty of sage- brush; sage makes clear, delicious honey. Got in a row with a neighbor; shot his dog; said its barking annoyed his queen bees. Neighbor waited a whole year to get even, piewed up a big patch, planted wild mustard; grew fine. Bees thick on mustard flowers. Mustard makes bitter honey. Like to ruin the bee man's sales. Bee farmer came to me, wanted to sue for damages. 'What can I do?' he asked. "Nothing," I said. "He has a right to grow mustard on his own land." "Well," he said. "I'll get some scheme to annoy him." "So he got a cornet; used to sit up from midnight till four o'clock in the morning practicing 'Wearing of the Green.' Fellow with the mustard was an Englishman; stood it for three weeks; went out with a scythe and cut down all the mustard. They've been good friends ever since."—San Francisco Chronicle. CURE AT CITY MISSION. Awful Case of Scabies—Body a Mass of Sores from Scratching—Her Tortures Yield to 'Cuticura. "A young woman came to our city mission in a most awful condition physically. Our doctor examined her and old us that she had scabies (the itch), incident paresis, rheumatism, etc., brought on from exposure. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratching and she was not able to retain solid food. We worked hard over her for seven weeks but we could see little improvement. One day I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and we bathed our patient well and gave her a full dose of the Resolvent. She slept better that night and the next day I gave a box of Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position, and she is now strong and well.
