TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 15. 1 The evolving gown at the left is of black tulle made up over green satin. The underskirt of the satin is trimmed with a green and gold gulpure and over this a skirt of black tulle finished at the bottom with a wide band of black silk. The sleeves and short sleeves are made of the green and gold embroidery bordered with the black tulle and liberty. The underbouse guipure and long sleeves are white tulle. The widest skirt is of green silk and black velvet ribbon; it is finished in the back, a lattice at one side, with long long fringed ends of the green and black. The other gown is of black taffeta. The round skirt is encircled with two groups of deep tucks and trimmed lengthwise with a band of silk edged with a frill of the same and ornamented with motifs of passementerie. This band apparently extends up on to the waist, which is also encircled with the band of the oke with a tucked insertion of the silk bordered with bias bands of the same. The sleeves are trimmed to correspond; the yoke and cuffs are of white gulpure. The girdle is of black velvet ornamented at one side with a great deep red rose of liberty satin. IN UNION THERE IS STRONGER The evening gown at the left is the unde shirt of the satin is trimmed over this the skirt of black tulle fluff of black livery. The cow jeans and short sleeves are bordered with the black tulle and libe sleeves are white tulle. The wide girdle is of green silk at the back, a little at one side, with low. The other gown is of black taffeta groups of deep tucks and trimmed left a flill of the same and ornamented with this band apparently extends up with tucks and trimmed around the w bordered with bias bands of the same. The sleeves are trimmed to corrugure. The girdle is of black velvet deep red rose of liberty satin. TUCKS FOR THE HOUSE GOWN. Varying Widths Offer Opportunity for Display of Taste. Tucks appear on most of the sleeves of the new gowns intended strictly for house use, and their varying widths offer suggestions as to what may be done with the aid of energy and two kinds of material. If only just enough net is on hand to make a scantily tucked tight-fitting long sleeve, the tucking would best begin half way between the shoulder and the elbow, and the intervening space covered with a closely fitting cap of silk or satin, elaborately hand or soutache embroidered. Or there may be wide tucks entre deux with silk or satin bands, as such a scheme will admit of any amount of plecing. Sometimes it may prove advisable to drape the heavier fabrics over a tight lace sleeve, in which event the under side of the transparency need not absolutely match, as the drapery may be tacked down to the inner section, and only the top need be exposed. The woman who finds it necessary to make over sleeves would best provide herself with a sleeve form on which she may make experimental drapings, for she has only to bear in mind that so long as the sleeve is full length and tight-fitting from the elbow to the wrist almost any fancy will pass muster in connection with a house gown or a blouse not of the strictly tallored type. PICTURESQUE HAT. Of leaf-green felt, with ruchings and bows of green velvet, encircled by medallions of green silk and dull silver embroidery. To Perfume the Breath It is considered bad form to perfume the breath so that it can be noticed easily, but nothing can be said against perfuming it just enough to sweeten it. Buy a piece of orvis root and chew just a small piece of this. A clove placed in the mouth, but not chewed, will give an odor of carnations to the breath. If the clove is chewed, it must be swallowed right away or the odor will become too strong. It is said a bit of myrrh in the cheek will give a breath a delicately sweet odor. The Coquettish Apron. One strong reason why girls have chafing dish parties is because of the coquettish adornment French aprons give. A mere handful of a thing is pear-shaped, whit a suggestion of a bib. Around the edges insertions are designed, and these are edged with ruffles of the same lace. THE GAZETTE HOUSE DRAPERIES ARE BRIGHT Extravagance in Color a Marked Fea ture of the Season. The woman who loves beautiful col oring and design should go through the shops to see the new things for household decorations. The extravagances of color in fabric in the new costumes for women are not only equaled but surpassed in those for house draperies. Dozens of new things have been brought out and, best of all, they are offered at small prices. In the Japanese stuffs there is the wildest profusion of stamped designs, of embroidery, and of bullion work; some are very expensive and are intended only for hangsome rooms. Others are at small cost, and would delight the heart of the artistic wom- an. For less than 50 cents a yard there are extra wide Japanese draperies of printed crepe in pale greens with faint colored Japanese lanterns swinging down the outside edges as a border. There are white and violet crepes with wonderful designs in wistaria floating all over the surface. These could be used as silk curtains for any room except a formal parlor or reception hall—N. Y. Times. The Utility Coat. Undoubtedly the number of women who must make one long coat answer for all-round daytime service is greatly in the majority, and to such is addressed the statement that in selecting such a garment it will be better to secure a material not too heavy for ordinary autumn and spring use, relying upon extra wraps for additional warmth in winter. Any of the medium-weight worsteds, supposing always that they are close and firm of weave, are advised, but special attention must be devoted to their coloring, which should show a preponderance of white or gray rather than black, dark brown, blue or green, as the dust seems to settle on weaves in those colors as though with a firm determination to cling in the proverbially, brotherly manner, whereas white, gray and tan simply become a bit more dull, but never look actually rusty. Sachets as Bridge Prizes. Sachets are now given as bridge prizes, so that the hostess who possesses more of the virtue of hospitality than money may entertain correctly if only she has a large number of fresh-looking silk pieces at hand. Such little bags are of all sizes, as they are used to drop among the handkerchiefs, the neckwear, the gloves and the lingerie. They are mounted over little fine white linen sacks which hold the powder, and their ends may be fringed and tied together with baby ribbon, or they may be faced or shirred into a sort of rose effect. Sachets are especially acceptable these days when only vague suggestions of perfume are permissible. Crepe de Chine Waists The high-class dressmakers are ad vocating simple waists of colored crepe de chine to wear with the winter cloth suit. There is the heavy texture that can be gotten for this purpose. It does not look too dressy in combination with serge and cheviot. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. HONOR THE BLACK SOLDIER A GALLANT OLD VETERAN OR THE WAR OF THE REBELLION IN A REMINISCENT MOOD Grand Showing Made by "Our Boye" —Gen. Robert Smalls, the Hero of "The Planter." From what has been said of the Brownville affair and "The Black Battallion," we are reminded of the promises made to their fathers and grandfathers, who fought, bled and died that the Afro-American, his children and grandchildren might enjoy the rights and privileges of American citizenship. The United States as a nation is second to none. The Negro has always been willing and ready to help her keep that place among the powers of the world. Let us see what he contributed to that end. First, with the cotton hook, cane knife and hoe, he laid the foundation of the wealth of this country. With bayonet, sword and gun, in the army and navy, side by side and shoulder with the white man, he defended the flag, and many times where the white man failed, the Negro earned science and literature he stands on a level with the white man. In industry, economy and wealth with many avenues of progress closed to him. The Afro-American has made a better showing in the last 45 years then any European race has made in 100 years. Politically, he is an important factor, knows his strength but does not abuse this power; always patient, until the Brownville burr was put under his political saddle. Hence the unrest among the people, who race, he stands head and shoulders above any other people in this or any other country. The foreigner that landed yesterday as an immigrant, today is a citizen, tomorrow a fireman, policeman or alderman. But nativeborn, loyal and true Americans are disfranchised; cannot even vote for the new citizen. The following incidents back in the sixties, giving date and place, will give our young men a chance to become great fathers of "The Black Battalion" went through during the rebellion of 1861 and 1865. Then we will leave it to you to judge as to our rights and privileges as American citizens. We claim our rights by birth, purchase, conquest and an act of congress. And who knows but what some of our ancestors came over with Columbus. This would entitle us to rights as the result of discovery. A Tillman, a Negro, killed three of the rebel prize-crew on the schooner S. J. Waring, and brought the vessel into New York. Gen. Robert Smalls. May 13, 1862, the armed steamer "Planter," seven guns, was run out of Charleston, S. C., harbor by a crew of eight Negroes, piloted by Robert Smalls, a Negro, who had commanded while all the officers were on shore, and surrendered to the Union gunboats. January 25, 1863, the first regiment of Union colored soldiers was organized at Port Royal, S. C. February 8, 1863, Gen. Hunter at Beaufort, S. C., issued an order enlisting all able-bodied colored men in his department. February 15, 1863, Gen Hunter, commanding at Port Royal, placed Brig. Gen. Thomas G. Stevens under arrest for refusing to fight with colored soldiers. March 6, 1863, Gen. Hunter ordered the enlistment of colored soldiers in the department of the south. March 10, 1863, Jacksonville, Fla., taken by the First South Carolina regiment. April 8, 1863, a colored regiment repulsed a band of rebels at Pascagoula, Miss. April 23, 1863, Gen. Hunter addressed a letter to Jefferson Davis threatening retaliation for the execution of Negro soldiers and their officers. May 23, 1863, a colored regiment which had been sent out on a raid to the Cambehee river, returned to Beaufort, S. C., capturing 800 slaves and destroying $2,000,000 worth of rebel property. May 27, 1863, Union forces under Gen. Banks assaulted Port Hudson works, but were repulsed with heavy loss. The colored troops of the force in action were conspicuously brave and active. May 27, 1863, the first colored regiment from the north left Boston, Mass. June 7, 1863, battle of Milliken's Bend, concluding the main action on the Union's part, was managed by colored troops who were successful. June 11, 1863, regiment of colored troops under Gen. Montgomery left Head Head, S. C., for a raid in Georgia and captured everything as they went. June 12, 1863, meeting in New York to encourage the enlistment of colored troops. July 13, 14, 15, 1863, riot in New York City, Colored Orphan asylum burrow, several Negroes hang to lamp-posts and their homes burned. United Shannon shunned on the mob, "killing two colored men." July 30, 1863, president proclaimed a retaliation policy in favor of colored soldiers. November 22, 1863, successful scouting by Negro troops at Scotocalgo, S. C. of John C. Callahoun killed. February 4, 1864, Col. Coates with colored and white troop, had a sharp fight with rebels at Sr. Martin, Miss., drove them out and the next day occupied Yazoo City, Miss. February 5, 1864, rebels attacked sharply. Shannon colored troops at Yazoo City, but were repulsed with the help of a gunbatt. February 5, 1864, Tenthie regiment, U. S. colored troops, volunteers, marched through New York to embark for New Orleans with great aplause. February 13, 1864, a company of colored soldiers surprised near Grand Lake, Miss., by guerrillas and all butchered but two. Some killed after surmersion. Shannon colored men a Waterloo. L. was by a strong rebel band which was thrice repulsed and retreated. May 24, 1864, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee with a brigade of cavalry and artillery attacked Gen. Wilde with two colored regiments, holding Gen. Butler's post at Wilson's wharf on the north side of the James, pre-1736 threatening textures, severely if screwed was refused. On retusal he charged repeatedly and furiously for four hours and the dark-skinned brother-soldiers repulsed him with heavy loss. July 5, 1864, Elliot's colored marine brigade attacked by rebels near Port Hudson. The assailants were beaten off with a loss of 150 killed and wounded, moving from Rodney, Mennon, to co-operate with Gen. Slocum checked in a hard fight, returned to Rodney. July 30, 1864, Gen. Sherman wrote a letter to a recruiting Negro agent satirically recommended him to establish his recruiting agencies in several cities, all inside of rebel lines, also because reason for the Negro into the field for fighting at that time. The above is not one-half of what Negro soldiers went through in the war of rebellion for this government, and for these acts of loyalty promises were made but never kept, for today they are being dischernished, their military career cut short without a trial and discharged without honor from the army. The Negro is ever ready to help defend the land of his birth but when the battle is over, others claim and get the "turkey," while the men who helped to save "the other fellow's life" get the "turkey-buzzard." There is one thing that the Roosevelt-Taft administration must not overlook or forget and that is that he thinks, forms his own conclusions and acts just as do all other good and intelligent and independent citizens. ANDREW McSPADDEN. The Chicago Stock Show The international live stock exposition held this year from November 28 to December 10, is the supreme court of the year's prize winners, justly styled the show of champions, the show within whose portals the bluest blood of the bovine, ovine and porcine families struggles for supremacy, the international value cannot be overestimated. Here the foremost breeders, who, by constant study, mutual contact, observation and comparison, have succeeded in producing the best, are giving the world the benefit of their labors. Here the breeders are building a block demonstration by what methods their work can be made more profitable, and the kind of animals the butcher wishes them to supply. These and the many other object lessons that can only be learned by a visit to this great exposition make a visit to the international "butcher industry" and part of the training of every progressive farmer, feeder and breeder.

IN UNION THERE ESTABLISHED ONLY VOTES CAN PURIFY THE CITY SO DECLARES THE REV. W. J. JOHNSON (WHITE) IN A VERY STRONG SERMON. THAT SPRINGFIELD, ILL., RIOT Dr. Johnson Says We Are Standing To-day in the Midst of Dangerous Conditions and that Voters Must Take Action—A Strong Appeal for Law. Springfield, Ill.—The Rev. W. J. Johnson (white) in a strong sermon on a recent Sunday morning at the First Congregational church, of which he is pastor, made a strong appeal for action on the part of the citizens of Springfield for improvement in municipal conditions. He said the improvement could be accomplished if the voters used their ballots as they should be used. In part the sermon was as follows: "There is only one way to settle these problems and that is by facing them fairly and personally, and the absolute right in the premises. There is no other way. The rule of expedency and dogging and shifting and quibbling and falsifying never settled a problem by which life was disturbed—Never! The problem of the black man in America or in Springfield can only be settled by the application of law of manhood to the question of manhood. The only way to teach the black man the true quality of manhood is for the white man with his superior knowledge to show him what manhood really is. The only way to teach the black citizen the value of citizenship is for the white citizen to eliminate the shyster and the heeler and the grafter and the disreputable boss from the political atmosphere and to establish the rule of citizenship is for the national unrightness in the city, state and nation. You can't do it any other way. "We are standing in Springfield today in the midst of dangerous conditions. It is hard to speak without seeming to incite class hatred, and that God forbid. And yet, bad as was the riots of seven weeks ago, the danger of inciting a new way of judging questions of law and evidence of evidence by the color of a man's skin, is unjustly more alarming and more full of deadly peril to the community and its civilization than the flare of the riot. It is bad enough to pillage in hot blood. It is bad enough to let passion run riot that is property is destroyed for citizens to take solemn oath to hear testimony and adjudicate the law and pronounce sentence fairly and as man to man, and then to bring in a verdict that that is a direct violation of the testimony presented and of the charges of the judge as to the meaning of the law, solely upon the ground of prejudice, is to reveal a disposition of dereliction or deity or life or possessions or rights are secure and by which law is a traversity, justice a sham, and our public courts a roaring farce. "What is the remedy? Let the men of Springfield stand up now, squarely, loyalty, persistently and courageously, for the administration of law, and let them sweep from their places of citizenship and petty rule the political bosses of the city of Springfield and Sangamon county by the throat, and who by criminal manipulation and criminal methods of voting, and underhand plans of trickery, have made graft and bribery the means by which the community has been ruler, and the political offices to be parceled out for the voters of citizenship. What an the black man know of citizenship honesty in the central part of Illinois, and in its capital city, when men of the calibre of Richard Kiusella and Richard Sullivan are the spotlights of political activity? When they parcel out the offices of the county and dictate who shall have the city contracts? What are we teaching the black man of citizenship and its splenenomous knowledge of concrete examples of political action? The nightmare through which we are passing is only the culmination of long processes by which the public conscience has been debauched, and public morals defiled and purity of the public life fritted away. And the thing for us to do is to grip this sword of political action that has been brandished by this Gollath, and pulling it out, out and sweep the field clear of these enemies of public good and public morality. The Gehenna prepared for such enemies of the commonwealth as they are. "And nothing but votes will do it. Not resolutions, or committees, or sermons or meetings, but just the Goliath sword of ballots, by which the head of the political aspirations of these men can be removed from their political shoulders once and for all, because the bad, bad andamentable as it is, must be the means of proving the quality of civic blood when it flows in our veins. It may be the making of us, as it has been the waking of us. "But now, coming back for a final moment to the question of sin as it touches us in our personal lives, and for which we started a little earlier in the sermon. We are reaping the whirwind from our sowing of wind. We are sowing of lawlessness. We are reaping the detestation, and the condemnatory and contempt of the nation from our sowing of municipal shame. We are in the shadow of political destruction today because yesterday we took into the counsel of our hearts the companionship of heeled, and the grafter and the scallawag, and the thief, and with a wink and a beer on the side, called it "politics." Capt. "Judin" Malvin and others came home from Washington, D. C., the first of the week to vote. 2 (IN ADVANCE) 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. Mr. Andrew McSpadden's article on Page 1 today will repay a careful reading. It is Afro-American history—the kind that is inspiring. Kentucky's governor and that Springfield, Ill., minister, mentioned elsewhere in this paper, are on the right track. More power to them. There has been a fearful revival of lynching and mob violence since midsummer. Congratulations! loyal and self and race-respecting Afro-Americans — all who did their duty on last Tuesday, election day. The self-consciousness of having acted a MAN's part in the interest of the race and those who come after you, is great satisfaction even if all you sought was not realized. We thoroughly appreciate the many compliments paid The Gazette in recent weeks. The "old relabe," like good wine, continues to grow better with age. See that you are a subscriber, reader, and that this paper has an agent and correspondent in your community. Let us hear from you promptly, please. As we have said repeatedly in recent weeks, a battle for a principle is never lost, and one for rights should never cease until successful, regardless of temporary setbacks. We don't propose to stop our efforts to help secure to our race an enjoyment, full and complete, of all our rights as citizens until we are in practical possession of the same. Something that is not the case now, nor has been so since our enfranchisement. We have no apology to offer for the many truhs and facts given to our readers in recent weeks. However, since the country has seen fit to make William Howard Taft its president on March 4, 1909, we accept the result with the best grace possible under the circumstances, and shall watch with the eye of an eagle his course in his treatment of cur people, and particularly his handling of matters which have to do with our rights as citizens, not only to vote in the south, but also as regards our treatment and rights as interstate passengers on the rail roads of that section, as well as his treatment of the innocent "Black Bat tation" and Senator Foraker. There must be no more "Roosevelt" in dealing with these vital issues to us, or more and more of our voters the country over will be found each succeeding year striking back on election day, until four years hence victory may not, as a result, perch upon the banner of the "grand old party." Gov. A. L. Harris' refusal even to ask the resignation of member of the state board of agriculture Ganson, ex mayor of Urbana (where innocent "Chick" Mitchell was lynched a few years ago, and absolutely no excuse for the most disgraceful proceeding), cost him the votes of more than 20,000 votes and race-respecting Afro-Americans. Nearly twice that number of our Ohio voters refused to vote for Candidate Taft and either voted for Chaffin. Dabs or Hisgen, or would not vote at all, for reasons (and others) repeatedly given in these columns for many months past. This the results show beyond all question or doubt, and it ought to be a warning as well as a lesson to the Republicans of Ohio and the entire north and country, which should be heeded and be productive of positive benefit in the future. The Ohio Afro-American voter, as well as those of other northern states, can no longer be regarded as, at least, so large, sure and as valuable an asset of the Republican party of the state and country as heretofore. He has begun a fight for all of his rights that is bound to grow with each succeeding year in proportion to his increase in intelligence. There is no stopping it, either. An effort to do so and all neglect upon the part of the party, only intensify his desire and increase his determination and activity. More power to our independent thinking and acting Republicans. May their number increase more rapidly is our earnest prayer. SO VERY TRUE! The following editorial from the Atlanta (Ga.) Independent, is worthy of reproduction: "White papers do no reflect Negro sentiment and thought; neither do they essay to conceive the best interests of the race or promote its higher attainment. Whenever the white press says anything complimentary of the Negro it is of an individual, and not of the race, and invariably it is of that class of individuals who care far more for self-aggrandizement than for manhood development. In discussing Booker T. Washington this press does THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1908. not refer to him as an example of the capacity and possibility of the Negro, but as a prodigy or phenomenon. His unprecedented achievement is not heralded and advertised to the world as a striking example of the race's development if the door of hope stood ajar before us, but for the selfish purpose of convincing us, and the world, that a hammer and tongs education is the only education the Negro is capacitated to utilize. "Editorially, every white paper in the south is strenuous and uncompromisingly opposed to a free exercise of the inableen rights of the black man. And this press with a unanimity which has appalled civilization, has contributed more to filch from us the rights of men than any other factor. It is against the ethics of white journalish to refer to a Negro woman or man as a lady or gentleman. But still a majority of our leaders, and especially our preachers, support this press to the exclusion of their race journals who support them and defend the race from the onslaughts of the unfriendly foe. "No self-respecting man or woman would associate with a libeller or perverter of the truth. And it is equally true of a Negro preacher or leader who will pay five cents a day for a morbid white paper and will not pay a dollar a year for a race journal of intelligence and character. We are sometimes forced to agree with the Rt. Rev Henry M. Turner, that the average Negro preacher is a curse to his race and the sooner a majority of the cringing hypocrites are dead and in Halffax the sooner the race will attain its high est character. The greatest factor in America for good or evil is the press. Papers not only make and unmake men, but they build up and destroy nations and kingdoms, and we can never attain our highest development and racial individuality, until we build up for ourselves, a press, conservative in tone, wise in policy, and fearlessly able to meet in intelligently the charges and slanders of a rabid and unfriendly adversary. A press with precocity and keenness to discern, wise enough to take a manly position, and able to manufacture sentiment to maintain it. "All this is easily done, just give one or two Negro papers in each city the same support you now give the white papers, and we will not only have journals and magazines, erudite, versatile and intrepid enough to meet every foe but we will be able to give employment to many of our girls and boys who are now idle because of their pride, which is the natural outgrowth of their environments. The highest development, as well as the resplendent virtue, of the race, depends upon self help. We cannot rise higher than our resources. Neither legislation by congress or otherwise, nor the philanthropy of the north, can achieve for us that character necessary to succeed. It must come by individual effort, more artfully, industrially and intellectually." TAFT ON GRANT Secretary Taft may be right or wrong in his statement that Gen. Grant was at one time all but forced out of the army because of his intemperate ways. In either case the secretary has violated no confidence, reelected and accomplished no good. The American people knew that Grant partook of strong drink, but had forgotten the circumstance. Taft interfered with that forgetfulness, apparently without justification. The incident should be allowed to close without the customary demand for justice to a dead man's memory. Grant was a great soldier and good man, and he was a man of good character and out of it. Whether these ever conspired to make trouble for him is now of no consequence. Grant's fame is secure enough. Grant was a *strong*, rough man, struggling with a strong man's tasks in rough times. The entirely efficient manner in which he acquitted himself was very well known to acquit him of blame for what ever diversion he favored in his few and far between hours of leisure. One of the few thousands of perfectly authentic Lincoln anecdotes relates to Grant's fondness for corn liquor. After the battle of Fort Donelson, it is said, some of his detractors went to President Lincoln with tales of his intemperance. "What kind of whisky does he drink?" asked Lincoln, explaining to the astonished tale bearers that he wished to get a large supply of the same brand for some of his other generals. By the same token, if the United States army or any considerable portion of it ever wished to be rid of Grant, the army and the secretary who presides over its bureaus should be the last to admit it.

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION The increased use of whiskey for lame back rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity.

"After an attack of rheumatism, running sores broke out on my husband's legs, from below the knees to the ankles. There are no words to tell all the discomforts and great suffering he had to endure night and day.

He began to use them and in three weeks all the sores were died up. The burning fire stopped, and the pains became bearable. After three months he was quite well.

And he did, the "other fellow" being Henry M. Goldfogle. Revelations of the Breakfast Table. To girls about to marry one would tender the advice that they study their intended victim at breakfast.

But when once the fact is clear, most people try to keep away from the thing which is followed by ever increasing detriment to the heart, stomach and nerves. "Until two years ago I was a heavy coffee drinker," writes an Ill. stockman, "and had all my life. I am now 56 years old. "About three years ago I began to have nervous spells and could not sleep nights, was bothered by indigestion, bloating, and gas on stomach affected my heart. "I spent lots of money doctoring—one doctor told me I had chronic catarrh of the stomach; another that I had heart disease and was liable to die at any time. They all died me until I was nearly starved but I seemed to get worse instead of better. "Having heard of the good Postum had done for nervous people, I discarded coffee altogether and began to use Postum regularly. I soon got better, and now, after nearly two years, I can truthfully say I am sound and well. "I sleep well at night, do not have the nervous spells and am not bothered with indigestion or palpitation. I weigh 22 pounds more than when I began Postum, and am better every way than I ever was while drinking coffee. I can't say too much in praise of Postum, as I am sure it saved my life."

And right well indeed did he do it, The colonel started out by urging the de- feat of Taft in emphatic terms and de- elared that every Negro voter voting for the Republican nominee would be stabbing Senator Foraker. He assert: ‘ed that « large proportion of the Negro Face would vote against Taft (and did), not as Democrats, but as a re- Ditké to Mr. Roosevelt for his attitude fn the Brownsville matter and to re- store Senator Foraker to his position. ‘Phe colonel is a personal friend of the senator. In the course of his address he charged that word had come from Roosevelt prior to the Republican na- tional conyention that Taft must be nominated even if, it bankrupt the country and that orders Were received by Hitchcock that no anti-Taft man ‘was to oe seated. He declared further that as events had shown that Roose- yelt and his folowers hai determined to eliminate the colored man from poll- ties, his advice was that the colored ‘man yote for Bryan. Col. Blodgett sald that he had been fighting with the Re publican party for the past 30 years. *{ am not leaving the Republican eee tat ne, tbe in the old principles as much as ‘ever. 1 believe that {t has wandered After strange gods.

There must be a place where capital and la- hor meet. ‘They are unwilling to vote for the father of injunction.” Rev. Dr. H.C. Bailey, who acted as chair man of the meeting, declared that Roosevelt's action in the Brownsville matter did not leave a slander on the Soldiers alone but on 10,000,000 other Negroes as well.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1908. NEW DISTRICTS AND NEW RAILWAYS WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER FOR SETTLEMENT. To the Editor — Sir: —Doubless many of your readers will be pleased to have some word from the grain fields of Western Canada, where such a large number of Americans have made their home during the past few years. It is pleasing to be able to report that generally the wheat yield has been good; it will average about 20 bushels to the acre. There will be many cases where the yield will go 35 bushels to the acre, and others where 50 bushels to the acre has been recorded. The oat and barley crop has been splendid. The prices of all grains will bring to the farmers a magnificent return for their labors. An instance has been brought to my notice of a farmer in the Pincher Creek (Southern Alberta) district—where winter wheat is grown—who made a net profit of $13.55 per acre, or little less than the selling price of his land. 30, 40, and 50 bushel yields are recorded there. The beauty about the lands in Western Canada is that they are so well adapted to grain-raising, while the luxuriant grasses that grow everywhere in abundance make the best possible feed for fattening cattle or for those used for dairying purposes. The new homestead regulations which went into force September, 1908, attracted thousands of new settlers. It is now possible to secure 100 acres in addition to the 160 acres as a free grant, by paying $30 an acre for it. Particulars as to how to do this and as to the railway rates can be secured from the Canadian Government Agents: "The development throughout Western Canada during the next ten years will probably exceed that of any other country in the world's history." is not the statement of an optimistic Canadian from the banks of the Saskatchewan, but of New York, exSecretary of the United States Treasury under the late President McKinley and President Roosevelt, and considered one of the ablest financiers of the United States. "Our railway companies sold a good deal of their land at from three to five dollars an acre, and now the owners are selling the same land at from fifty to seventy-five dollars, and buying more up in Canada at from ten to fifteen." The editor of the Monticello (Iowa) Express made a trip through Western Canada last August, and was greatly impressed. He says: "One cannot cross Western Canada to the mountains without being impressed with its immensity of territory and its future prospects. Where I expected to find frontier villages there were substantially built cities and towns with every modern convenience. It was formerly supposed that the climate was too severe for it to be thought of as an agricultural country, but its wheat-raising possibilities have been amply tested. We drew from Ontario many of our best farmers and most progressive citizens. Now the Americans are emigrating in greater numbers to Western Canada. Seventy-five per cent. of the settlers in that good country located southeast of Moose Jaw and Regina are Americans. Canada is well pleased with them and is ready to welcome thousands more." Columbia's One Iron Foundry. The only iron foundry in Colombia, South America, is at Bogota. It is known as La Paradera and is operated on a small scale, native ores being smelted, the iron being subsequently remelted for casting purposes. There are several commercial iron deposits in the interior of the country, and one ore body situated near the coast of the Caribbean sea is now being drilled by American engineers. WILL MAKE YOU RICH FARMS IN WESTERN CANADA FREE Fifty bushels per acre have been grown in the greatest extent in any other part of the continent. Under new regulations it is possible to secure a homestead of 160 acres free, and additional 160 acres at $3 per acre. The development of the country has made marvellous strides. It is a revelation, a record of great achievement.—It last from correspondence of a National bureau, who visited Canada in August last. The grain crop of 1908 will not many farmers $20.00 to $25.00 per acre. Grain-raising, mixed farming and dairy are excellent; social conditions the best; railway advantages unequalled; schools, churches and markets close at hand. Land may also be purchased in Canada and land companies. For 'Last Best West pamphlets, maps and information as to how to secure lowest railway rates apply. THE GREAT GAME By AGNES LOUISE PROVOST It was a big day at the race track, and as it was also a holiday, there were at least four thousand men crowding and pushing one another in the pool room. There were three men among the 4,000 who were vitally interested in each other's movements, but it was not until they came in from the second heat that Mr. William Lyman—address not found in the directory—discovered J. Brownley of the San Francisco detective force standing before the boards, well in front of the crowds and apparently studying the odds with thoughtful eye. It occurred to Mr. Lyman that J. Brownley's other eye was keeping watch on the rear exits. Mr. Lyman melted away into the crowd like fog before the sunshine, being by nature ever modest and retiring when an official appeared on the landscape. He wrigled his way back until he sighted his friend and co-partner, Mr. Collins, and retired with him from the range of inquisitive ears. "Mickey," he mumbled cautiously, "We're pinched." "Hell!" observed Mr. Collins profanely, staring around him in an unpleasantly suspicious manner. "Sure thing. Brownley's up in front. He's done up something great, but you can't fool me on Brownley. It's him sure." tran 20 of whom knew the cause for their flight, were bearing down on him in a howling, fear-streaked mob, sweeping toward the rear exits. The room was not as lavishy provide with exits as the more modern strures, and a mob there was a thing a flee from. There was but one thing to do, and that was to run for life or death in the same direction. Even as he ran Brownley saw men piling on each other layers in their frantic efforts to jump from the windows, but he shot pain them for the broader exit ahead and felt himself whiz dizzily through the air as he took a flying jump into the hack incosult and landed on all four on something soft and struggling—German of vast circumference, who swore frightfully at the concussion. A pain shot through Brownley's foot but he rolled swiftly to one side, jus as the pushing, struggling mass poured out on the ground. It was over in three minutes, an men rushed from all sides to dis tangle the heaped-up mass of human. Many picked themselves up an limped off, disheveled and cursing, by some had to be lifted carefully, by broken ribs and legs, and bleedin faces, and above and around them was a babel of excited questions. Role of money had disappeared in the rus watches were lost and bats gone, Mr. Collins expressed a desire that the immortal part of J. Brownley might be subjected to a roasting process for an indefinite infinity. Under stress of emotion, Mr. Collins was apt to be vituperative. "He's follored us all the way from Frisco," he grumbled wrathfully, "an three times this month we just got off with our necks. The only way to get rid of Brownley is to kill him." "And have the whole U. S. know we did it? Not on your tin-type. Mickey. I don't throw my head away like that. Never kill a man unless you have to. Spouse you sneak around front and see if the road's clear for a break." Mr. Collins worked his way swiftly back to the front entrances and casually looked out. One would have said that he was enjoying the beauty of the cloudless sky, so innocently distant and abstracted was his gaze; certainly no one would have suspected that he saw two men look quickly at him and away. The two men outside looked at one another, and moved closer. They were in no hurry. J. Brownley's orders were that unless these two shy birds could be captured together at the track, they were to be quietly and cautiously followed to their lairs, and there invited to take up their residence in the nearest police station. The reasons why Messrs. Lyman and Were so greatly in demand were numerous and interesting. These were versatile gentlemen, and if one vocation proved irksome or unhealthful from the legal point of view, they could always pass on to another. They found it convenient to change their occupation frequently, as well as their post office address; it diverted the official mind, and kept it guessing. Mr. Collins found his partner in a marvelously short time; he was used to it. He shook his head a trifle, which meant that their immediate future was not of an encouraging nature. Mr. Lyman thrust out his under lip in token of his displeasure, as they edged away from their nearest neighbors. "If we run for it when the crowd goes out to the track, there'll be a million smart Alecks ready to help 'catch us.' he mused discontentedly. "I think they mean to catch us here if they can, or track us down to a good place and nab us. But they don't know that we're onto 'em. We'll fool 'em. We might raise a big row, Mickey, and light out in the racket. We'll stampede the crowd, that's it!" Mr. Lyman radiated good nature again, as he thought of the mischief at his command. "Fire?" queried Mr. Collins dubiously. "Mm. no, Mickey; that's an old gag. We'll do somethin' original. Brownley's in front of the whole bunch—awful reckless to stand in front of a crowd—the other chaps are back of it, and we'll keep about three quarters back, and save our shirts while we lose the other fellows. Chase, Mickey; it's 'most time for the start." Mr. Collins was not a man of many words, but his little eyes twinkled as M. Lyman hastily told him what to do. He wrigled swiftly away, lost himself in the thickest of the crowd and managed to get his brown derby knocked off. When he came up from searching for it in the press, several feet from where he had been, he had in his hand a jar, and raakish light felt, which he tilted well over one eye. He was now ready for business, and if there were any investigating gentlemen craning their necks to see a man in a brown derby, they missed him. Then Lyman caught Collins' eye over the heads of a dozen or more men, and pulled out a huge roll of bills which ran into the thousands, fluttering them over with the air of a man who has plenty more, and will risk the whole business with all the pleasure in the world. He turned his back deliberately upon Collins, who edged his way toward him, watching him with sharp but furtive eyes. A swift hand shot toward the roll of bills, but Lyman was ready for it. His revolver flashed out as he whirled around and faced the dodging Collins; the hand with the bills was crammed safely in his pocket. "Lock out in front!" he yelled, levelling the weapon at Collins' head, and a score of men in the line of his aim melted away with warning shouts and jammed against those in front. Only 20, certainly no more, but the mischief was done. It was marvelous how slight a thing may set a great crowd in motion. Up at the front Brownley turned in surprise as he heard a roar behind him. Four thousand men, not more than 20 of whom knew the cause for their flight, were bearing down on him in a howling, fear-stricken mob, sweeping toward the rear exits. The pool room was not as lavishly provided with exits as the more modern structures, and a mob there was a thing to flee from. There was but one thing to do, and that was to run for life or death in the same direction. Even as he ran Brownley saw men piling on each other in layers in their frantic efforts to jump from the windows, but he shot past them for the broader exit ahead and felt himself wizziz dizzily through the hack incclosure and landed on all fours on something soft and struggling—a German of vast circumference, who swore frightfully at the concussion. A pain shot through Brownley's foot, but he rolled swiftly to one side, just as the pushing, struggling mass poured out on the ground. It was over in three minutes, and men rushed from all sides to disentangle the heaped-up mass of humanity. Many picked themselves up and limped off, disheveled and cursing, but some had to be lifted carefully, with broken ribs and legs, and bleeding faces, and above and around there was a babel of excited questions. Rolls of money had disappeared in the rush, watches were lost and hats gone, but no one knew what had happened. Later, some of the few who had seen it told how slight a matter had started a great stampede, and J Brownley swore to himself as he went "MESSRS. LYMAN AND COLLINS" through the streets in an ambulance, with a leg and ankle that would lay him up for weeks to come, and 10,000 bruises distributed impartially over his person, but Messrs. William Lyman and M. Collins were far away, speeding through the land in a Pullman car and drinking cool drinks. Even J. Brownley and his exasperated aids did not guess that they had done this thing. "It was a great game," tighed Mr. Collins, contentedly, tapping his glass with his finger and noting with dreamy satisfaction that their nearest fellow-traveler was three chairs away. "It was the slickest thing I've seen this season, and there was lots of money dropped or pinched in the shuffle. I went in with the crowd, Billy, and I made some fair pickings myself." "So did I," admitted Mr. Lyman, with a reminiscent chuckle. "We've made the haul of our lives this day, and if Brownley wasn't killed, it'll take him all summer to piece himself together again. It certainly was a great game, Mickey. We'll work it again." LONG CHANCE. The Elderly One—I'm not going to leave here until I'm engaged. The Young One—But the place don't stay open the year 'round, you know. BROKEN LEGS AND FLOWERS. True Artistic Temperament as Evidenced by Landor. "At a dinner in Philadelphia," said a clergyman, "I once heard the lamented Bishop Potter talk in a most amusing manner about the artistic temperament. "First he described the contradictions in the characters of Whistler, Poe, Hawthorne and other great Americans. Then he turned to Landor, the great Englishman. "Landor, he said, 'was at the same time the most violent and brutal and the most delicate and sensitive of men. He adored flowers. The gardens of his beautiful villa in Florence were full of flowers, and the poet walked among them daily, never plucking them, only bending over them reverently to admire their loveliness and their perfume. "Landor's cook one day served him a wretched dinner, and in his rage the poet threw the man out of the window into a bed of splendid roses. "As the cook writhed with a broken leg below, Landor from the window exclaimed in a horror-stricken voice: "Good gracious, I forgot the roses!" W.L. DOUGLAS $300 SHOES $350 W. L.

C, says: "Kidney trouble, began about Greenwood, S. C., trouble began about five years ago with dull backache, which got so severe in time that I could not get around. The kidney secretions became badly disordered, and at times there was almost a complete stop of the five years ago with dull backache, which got so severe in time that I could not get around. The kidney secretions became badly disordered, and at times there was almost a complete stop of the flow. I was examined again and again and treated to no avail, and kept getting worse. I had to praise Donan's Kidney Pills for my final recovery. Since using them I have gained in strength and flesh and have no sign of kidney trouble." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.
