Here is a very elegant combination of russet-brown velvetteen and fine face cloth. The plain trained skirt is of velvetteen, so are the tight-fitting un- der-sleeves. The overskirt and pinafore bodge of the cloth are trimmed with a Greek key pattern, worked with gold and brown narrow braid; velvet-covered buttons form a further trimming. The voke is of piece lace. The yoke is of or piece face. Hat in velvet of the color of the skirt, lined with soft, pink satin, and trimmed with a rosette of satin and a long brown feather. Materials required: For the dress, nine yards velvetteen, four yards cloth 48 inches wide, several dozen yards of narrow braid, three dozen buttons, one-half yard piece lace. Frills on Muffs A pretty fashion is that of adding a frill of soft satin or closely plaited chiffon to the lower edge of fur muffs. Brown is used with all brown furs, black with black and white with such furs as armeine and white fox. When furs are scant this addition is a decided improvement. The immense round muffs that are forcing their way to the fore have the easiest-looking arrangement of quilled and primarily looped ribbon at the ends where the hands are received. High Boots of Tan. As the winter weather advances there is wider popularity for the smart tan boot that laces or buttons six and eight inches above the ankle. The extra heavy soles are not used as much as they were for city streets. They are kept for county roads. The fashionable shoe has a sole of ordinary thickness, is well arched, has a slightly rounded toe, and a high, straight Spanish heel. THE GAZETTE CHINTZ HANGINGS ARE LIKED. Especially for Bedrooms That Have a Chilly Aspect. For inside curtains heavy linen, either natural linen color, in white or colors, is very popular. They are selected, of course, in accordance with the fittings of the room and are trimmed either with appliqué of linen in contrasting colors, with braid or embroidery in heavy linen thread. Chintz hangings are also very popular and chintz and cretonne are now shown in a more remarkable variety of colors and designs than ever before. There is quite a fad at the moment for the blue and white or the red and white chintz hangings for use, of course, in rooms suitably decorated. The wall of a room, for instance, may be in pale gray or white and gray when blue and red or white chintz will be used for hangings and upholstery. These chintzes are not quite so striking as they sound, the red chintz, in fact, being quite mild in effect. The color is a light and rather dull red and the patterns show a great deal of white. For some bedrooms, such, for instance, as have a rather chilly aspect, these chintzes are admirable. They seem more suitable for men's rooms than the flowered chintzes in pink and green, lavender and yellow which are so charming. The Pierrot Buff. A Pierrot ruff, but having a huge bow at the side in which little Pierrot would not have known himself, is one of the pretty little gifts to pass from friend to friend. Choose marquiseette, crisp chiffon, net or point d'esprit in one of the catawba or wistaria shades. Ruffs of these exclusive colors may be found in some of the shops, or the materials may be bought and carefully doubled and quilled into shape. The very full quillings are then fastened on to a soft fold of silk of the same shade, measured to fit the neck. The bow of satin ribbon is, again, the identical color, and be sure the match is perfect. While it is very lovely to say "tie on with a big soft bow," it is far wiser to caution the giver to have the bow tied permanently, and to fasten Pierrot's ruff with a hook and eye. Plans for Bedrooms. Instead of a double bed take two single bedbeds, remove the upper part of the footboard, put the two ends together in one corner of the room, make a bed on each. Then you have the center and the sides of the room for other things. It is also nice for a larger room that is to be occupied by two individuals or elderly people, for they can each have their own bed and can often wait on and be company for each other many times when otherwis they would have to be alone. And it is a good way to fix the little girl's or boy's room, so that when they have chums come to see them and stay over night they will have a nice spare bed for them in their own room. Rosebud Hatpins. The latest novelty in hattips is the natural rosebud or half-grown flower which, by some wonderful process, is transformed in all its perfect beauty of form and color into an imperishable substance. Nestling in the fur or foliage of a smart hat, they add the newest touch of elegance. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1909. FORAKER HURLS TERRIFIC BOLTS! FORAKER HURLS TERRIFIC BOLTS! AT PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND WAR SECRETARY TAFT AND THEIR DETECTIVES. THE PUBLIC'S FUNDS FILCHED A "Brownsville" Arraignment That Some People Will Never Forget— "The Black Battalion" Persecuted—Their Treatment Worse Than Murder. Special to The Gazette. Washington, D. C.—"iniquitus and unholy work," is the way in which Senator Foraker characterizes the efforts of Herbert J. Browne and Wm. G. Baldwin, special detectives employed by the president to fasten the guilt of the "shooting up" of Brownville upon "The Black Battalion." In a grand speech in the senate Tuesday he not only denounced as "atrocious the reports that the men (Browne and Baldwin) and accuse confessions from any of the discharged soldiers, but contended that their (the detectives') employment was in violation of law, and that all payments to them, amounting to $15,000, were invalid. He quotes the law of 1892, amended and strengthened in 1883, which reads that "no employee of the Pinkerton detective agency or similar agency shall be employed in any government service" to support the argument that the employment of Brownville Baldwin was in defiance of this act. "And, finally, waiving these points and supposing the president still has a right to spend the $3,000,000 for war emergencies," Senator Foraker cried. "this 'emergency' was the remote one that men should be required to prove their innocence before a judge who would be sent to trial." In brief, Mr. Foraker's argument was that he had caught the president and Secretary Taft holding out a purse out of which to do things without the check on the executive which the constitution gives congress powers to control of the treasury. He charged $15,000 for the expend under Roosevelt in the same fashion as the $15,000 for detective hire, without accounting, and he wanted to know why and what for. So did the senate, apparently, for the resolution directing the secretary of the treasury to pay the $3,000,000 expenditures from the $3,000,000 emergency fund, was adopted without objection. Discussing the employment of the detectives, the senator said that it "cannot be fittingly charged without the use of language which, if used, would not be respectful to the chief executive. It does not lessen the gravity of his offense, that it appears to be imperceptible to him; or, if not so, he has become utterly oblivious to all the restraints of law, decency and propriety in his mad pursuit of these victims of his ill-considered action. Calls It Worst Ever. "I do not hesitate to say that in my opinion, aside from the question whether there has been a misappropriation of public funds, no precedent for anything so shocking can be found in all the history of American criminal jurisprudence. Because Browne Holmind induced a client to pay them out of the treasury upon the theory that they were rendering legitimate service when they were not," he said. "Each and every payment to them seemingly constitutes a clear case of obtaining money under false pretenses, and I call the attention of the law officers of the government to the fact, as well as to the perjury that has been committed by the institute appropriate prosecutions." "In the work of Browne and Baldwin," Senator Foraker said, "fraudulent impersonation, misrepresentation, lying, deceit, treachery, liquor and intoxication, coupled with promises of immunity and the excitement of hope and fear and the offer of employment and remunerative wages have been sought. Worst of all, in his nadpray suit of these helpless victims of his ill considered action, the president has, himself, committed the serious offense—condemned by every court that ministers the common law—of holding out to these men an inducement, or reward for the giving of such settlement in the case of reintroduction with full pay and reinstatement in all their rights as soldiers." The ssnator read numerous letters from white citizens of the south, from the discharged soldiers and letters signed by the detectives-Browne and Baldwin, to support these statements. In one letter an offer of a $60-a-month company to the Browne and Baldwin Company C, and a letter which asked him to make a certain statement contained 1.5. The detectives had approached the discharged soldiers, Senator Foraker said, claiming to represent him, and he read letters to show that. In spite of all these efforts, not a bit of evidence had been produced tending to connect the discharged soldiers with the Brownsville riot except the alleged "confession" of Boyd Conyers, which was a fabricated story of confession and attempted suicide, which was a base falsehood from beginning to end, as has now been completely and fully shown. "Confession" Repudiated. "In all the history of crime and its detection, nothing more atrocious, disreputable and disgraceful has ever been made." As to the statements of Wm. Lawson, the Negro detective, employed by Browne and Baldwin, that Boyd Conyers had made a confession to him of his participation in the Brownsville ralt at certain times and places. Senator Foraker exhibited a sworn statement that he had made such a confession, and that he was not with Lawson at the times and places indicated. In comment on that document, which the president recently sent to the senate, the senator read an affidavit made by E. C. Arnold (white), sheffler of Monroe, Ga., after asking Senator of Georgia of George W. Bush that he know about Arnold. "I have known Mr. Arnold for 20 years," said Clay, "and he is a most excellent man in every respect." The Arnold affidavit stated that Mr. Arnold had undertaken to assist Herbert J. Lrowne to extort a confession from Boyd Conyers, to support a confession Conyers was supposed to have given to the senator, the son). Arnold testified that he was with Browne each time the latter saw Conyers. The latter, Arnold said, denied any knowledge of the Brownville affair, swore he had slept through it, and denied having made any contrary statement or confession to anybody, and that he had ever inducement to confess. Arnold then summed up his comment on Brown's report of the sessions with Conyers in this wise: "And I say it under my solemn oath, it is the most absolutely false, the most misrepresentation truth, and that my perseverance of what really did take place between them, that I have ever seen over the signature of any person." "Worse Than Murder." "Worse Than Murder." Senator Foraker said not only that the base fabrications, "but that the whole work in which they have been engaged is the result of a plot and a conspiracy, blacker and more damnable than anything that has been charged against the soldiers themselves, even though they prove to be the truth; for, atrocious and indefensible as is the crime of murder, more atrocious and more defensible still, is a cold, scheming, calculating plot and conspiracy to fasten the crime of murder upon an innocent man was then, that Mr. Foraker called upon the law officers of the government to take notice. "Utterly incompetent and worthless," was his final analysis of all the testimony secured by the prominent lawyer Baldwin, the price of $15,000, paid, as he contended, illegally. NOTHING FOR THE NEGRO. Those among the Negro race who are shaking hands with themselves upon the recent utterances of Mr. Taft on disfranchisement in the south can see more of comfort or consolation for themselves in whatever Mr. Taft had read than can the Southern American. First, the disfranchisations laws were enacted more with the end in view of enabling the Bourbon regime to manipulate and perpetuate political control than for more Negro disfranchisement. By the written and unwritten laws of the new state constitutions it is possible to keep the present political aristocracy, which is no more than the progeny of the old slave owning oligarchy, well entrenched in the saddle in that the process eliminates the masses of the whites and practically mows all of the blacks who belong to the sense of men who fail to recognize such a thing when it stands between the Bourbon Democracy and success, appealing to men who subject men to taxation and give them no voice in representation, this is as effective as that proposition of pouring water into the bucket of a duck. Either will effect as much as the other to change the situation. Day by day and year by year the Negro is drifting further from any political privilege or opportunity in the south. It is right into the hands of those who have brought this about for Mr. Taft to talk about this thing and deny voice in representation where there is taxation is, injustice. The disfranchising states men have all along broadly proclaimed fairness in the application of these laws. These people can find no difficulty in lining up with Mr. Taft, Pretense and practice, however, are far apart. We are not unwilling that the 175,000 disfranchised Negro votes Alabama if they want to, swallow the dose prepared for them by Mr. Taft, but we protest for the 100,000 disfranchised whites that this disfranchisement is not only a blessing, but it is a positive curse in that men feel the less the responsibility of government when they lose their sovereign governing power. It is to be hoped that Mr. Taft will be able to know that these Bourbon colonies are not the south, not all of it, either of the white or the black south. They are a deceptive, ingenious, cunning set of political geniuses, however, and their smile will smile every while with the Taft smile. They will wind up with the best of the political diplomacy and with a good share of the offices. Mr. Taft will deny the disfranchised south. He will get the laugh, in the end, instead of votes from the Bourbon colonel south. Mark this political prediction of the Southern American. This gang down here will nibble about Mr. Taft's hock until they have gotten off the bait and then the school of fish that he has for Taft suckers will swim away. Every inch of ground that the Republican party ever gains in the south will be gained by hard fighting. It will be gained by going up against the gang and espousing the cause of the suppressed white south as well as granting simple justice to the Negro. That is just what the Southern American believes about it and no sort of Taftism will change this conviction. The giving of the editor's postoffice to another is insufficient to prevent the failure of this new fangled Republican policy of acquiescence into Bourbon disfranchisement. — Alexander City (Ala.)

PRESIDENT-ELECT TAFT MAY HAVE "MORE WOOD THAN HE CAN SPLIT." SHOT-GUN VS. SPELLING-BOOK The Trouble With the South—Her Own Chambermaid—She Disfranchises, "Jim Crow" Cars and Robs the Negro in Many Other Ways—North- Washington, D. C.—The local eye always a political and commonly an office-holding eye, turns often to Georgia and to Mr. Taft. The latter is the busiest president-elect that the world has ever seen. Fears are exerted by the public that more wood than he can saw and split. It is thought his exuberant enthusiasm, born perhaps of the exultant nearness of an inauguration that with each day draws nearer still, may not last through. The brooms sweep clean, particularly White House brooms, and yet the newness, the youth of brooms is of the briefest. In a week or a month they become old brooms and go about their sweeping in the old-time silipsoid way. The White House is a heavy load. Most presidents don't mold their of frosty brooms and go about their personal experience of four presidents. Only one of the four was stronger than his office. The other three were as helpless as three ships ashore, three flies in amber. Mr. Taft will know more of the presidency later on. It has flipperypapered eyes and presidents have been caught thereon and held hard and fast like files. Simile of the Mule. Far be it from me to compare any president-elect to animal as lowly, but when I have read of this great deed or that momentous policy which some ambitious coming president either promised or promulgated, I could not but think of how probably a spirited mule, free and footloose in his pasture, doubtless considers what surmounts him, and the velous loads he will draw, and where he will draw them, once he's hitched up. After he's been elected into the harness and inaugurated between the hills of the cart, however, all is changed. Somebody else loads the cart somebody else settles where he is, and somebody else settles what is what he meant to do, the last place he goes to is the place he meant to go. As with the hapless, helpless mule, with so your president. Those sublime purposes must be abandoned, those profound policies put aside. In the end he surrenders to the crushing force of the cart and concludes with Elijah the Tishbite that he's no better than his fathers. Taft and the Office. For all Mr. Taft anticipates so much, he apparently does not appreciate the office he is so soon to be called to in all its length and breadth. Replying to General Rhodes of the Birmingham delegation, he spoke repeatedly of the party to which he replied, "the party to which you belong." Mr. Taft should amend his attitude. He is no longer to be a Republican, but a president. When his party offers him to the public as its chief magistrate and the public accepts him he no longer belongs to the party, but to the people. Also Mr. Taft's expressed intention of making the party the so-called would be carried out, but he had a double error—error on his part, error on the side of the south. He seemed to assume that injury has been done the south. I do not know of any wrong the south has suffered from, but I do know that if such be the fact she has been the architect of her own griefs, she has been the author of an apology, an explanation, any promise due the south from the nation at large. If you tramp rearward to the civil war you find it began, not by the nation firing on the south, but the south firing on the nation. And thus has it continued ever since. The south, so far from being narrowly, has been liberally dealt with. Go into congress and you will find it. If you have a humane retaliation are to be considered, the south with double the representation comparatively of the balance of the country. And yet no one seriously considers cutting that representation down. Were the situation reversed you would hear a southern yell go up calculated to make the welkin—what that may be—ringer twice and ring again. No. If there's aught wrong with the south, the south is to blame for it. She has been her own chambermaid; made her own bed. Her attitude of sentiment has been studiously imical. That of the north has been generous in the north calls himself an "American." On the tropical side of Mason and Dixon's line everybody is a "Southerner." The south forgets that to speak of region is to speak of regions. The term is never singular and always plural, and to create a force is but, by a law of nature, to invoke another to oppose it. Also, the country at hand is and its narrows to being "Southern" much longer, much better, than can the south Shotgun Versus Spelling Book. The trouble with the south measurably is that she has relied too much on the shotgun, too little on the spelling book. She complains of the Negro as of a cross which she bears upon her shoulders, and yet she resents and resists every effort to translate him to other parts; the other is not a gentleman, the river from Louisiana into Mississippi for the purpose of hiring a gang of Negroes they were politely warned that to escape a ravishing they SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. had better return home. Mississippi wanted her own Negroes. FRESH NEWS The Negro has the legal right to vote. Everywhere in the south this right is laughed at, and no one knows it better than the south. Also people, as Carlyle says, "view the world from the parish belly," applaud this distranchissement of the Negro. Over in Maryland the latest, smallest vote that the Negro of his vote is being retired. Voters are to be of two classes, the class whereof members inherit the right to vote and the class the members of which have had the right to vote conferred upon them. Certain conditions, educational and otherwise, are imposed upon the latter class which amounts to a cancellation of that voting right. In addition, but the first class, that votes by inheritance, covers the white man while the other covers the black. Northern Spirit Not Dead. To be sure, the supreme court will tear this law to pieces as in the teeth of constitutional right. Yet Maryland does herself no good in seeking such a bar against the blacks. Sentiment in the north which brought forth coalition fifty years ago landed but sleepeth. Such vote doings as those promised in Maryland are calculated to arouse it. A new crop of Wendell Phillipses, William Lloyd Garrisones and John Brownes will quicken into being. Again in that Maryland scheme for the disfranchisement of the black is the south firing on the nation, and later, haps-it will provoke a war, not of bullets, but ballots, which will cost more than all she lost in the war of the rebellion. And again, let me remind you that I'm talking, not for the black men, but the white. And for her own interest should find some other way to plan around that stump of the black man's vote. Should what I've prophesied ever start, and such as that Maryland business is well calculated to start it, any attempt to stay it until it has its crushing grimness, until it runs its crushing grimness, until it throws your arm to ward away an avalanche. —Alfred Henry Lewis (white) in Chicago Examiner. THE TUSKEGEE CONFERENCE. Principal Washington Issues Notices of and Invitations to It—The Program. Editor, The Gazette, Dear Mr Smith: I very much hope you can be present at the coming meeting of the Tuskegee Negro conference. We shall appreciate anything you may do to ward making this meeting a success. I enclose herewith a note bearing upon the coming meeting. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Principal. The eighteenth annual Tuskegee Negro conference is to be held at Tuskegee institute, Alabama, Wednesday and Thursday, February 17 and 18, 1999. Special committees have already been appointed by the executive board of Tuskegee to arrange a program of exercises and to care for the comfort of such visitors as may be present. In addition to representative farmers, who will come from all of the southern states, formal invitations have been sent by Principal Booker T. Hines to the Negro schools in the country and to the editors of all of the colored newspapers, as well as to a considerable number of professional and other prominent representatives of the race, asking them to be present at the same time. Reduced rates of one and one-third fare on the certificate plan have been granted by the Southeastern Passenger association. These rates apply south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi river, and tickets can be bought to Tuskegee for three days preceding the first day's arrival. Tickets can be returned three days following the close of the meeting, February 18, not including Sunday. FORTUNE FOR FREEDMAN Leases He Gave Declared Invalid—He Gets Oil Royalties. Muskogee, Okla. — In the United States, district court here on the 5th Judge R. E. Campbell held that all the alleged sales and leases signed by Zeke Moore, a Creek freedman, to 120 acres of land in the Glen Pool oil厂, were accepted by the court except one lease covering a period of 15 years, given to R. S. Litchfield, who is supposed to represent the Standard Oil company. The land is worth half a million dollars, and by the decision Moore was given 10 percent of the oil taken from wells on the land under the Litchfield lease. The evidence showed that Moore was a minor and prisoner in the penitentiary at Lansing, Kan., when induced to sign several leases, and that he was ingrained in the life of his land, which was an allotment made him by the federal government. A FEW STRAY PARAGRAPHS. "This administration is not going to be a 'Johnson administration'—Theo. Roosevelt, 1905. Well said, Mr. President. All is well, that ends well. "This" is not a "Johnson" administration; it is worse! Rather more like a Tyler administration, forsooth! --- "The three hardest words in the English language are: 'I am wrong.'"—Jas. Russell Lowell. Some people never learn them; Mr. Roosevelt belongs to these stupid ones—as the Brownies matter proves. But Mr. Roosevelt is not too old yet to learn—in time! --- Mr. Roosevelt belongs to that peculiar school of statesmen, who, as Frederic the Great once remarked, "always make their second step before their first one!"

President-elect Taft seems in love with the white south. You can figure the rest and not half try. There was another decision on Monday issued by the United States supreme court which is so characteristic, as far as our people are concerned, as to be monotonous. Senator Foraker certainly "skinned" Roosevelt, Taft and their detectives, Baldwin and Browne, in his great speech of Tuesday in the United States senate. It was another masterpiece of oratory, an exceptionally strong and telling speech. As usual. Senator Foraker has intimated that he will continue his championship of the cause of the discharged soldiers after his retirement from the senate in March. He will act as attorney for them, it is said, in a case to test the constitutionality of the president's shameful order of discharge. Good! The prize-fight match-makers who are offering "Jim" Jeffries so very many thousands of dollars to fight "Jack" Johnson, the champion heavy-weight pugilist of the world, seem to have overlooked the fact that the latter and his shrewd Irish manager will have to be consulted and satisfied before there can be any contest for the championship. There is so very much food, for careful thought, that is extremely interesting in the two articles (elsewhere in this paper) headed "The South is to Blame" and "Nothing for the Negro," that we ask a careful reading of them both by all of The Gazette's many patrons. "Nothing for the Negro" is an editorial written by Editor J. C. Manning (white.) The "illy-white" Republicans of Alabama are after the political scalp of Postmaster J. C. Manning, an aggressive friend of the race, one of the leading Republicans of Alabama, and editor of the Alexander City Southern American. We hope they will not get it. President-elect Taft will help to tear down what little remains of real Republicanism in that state, if he listens to them. Reappoint Manning! Education, to be sure, must concern itself with the higher life. Unless it does that it does not amount to much for any purpose. But what is needed is the education for the higher life shall be securely DOVETAILLED in with an equally good education for every life.-Elmer E. Brown, United States Commissioner of Education. This applies with peculiar and exceptional force to the Afro-American because of his condition and environment. Commission Brown has struck the educational rite, and we commend, his comprehensive though greatly condensed statement to the thoughtful of the race, particularly. In common with all other classes of Americans we need both the higher or classical, and industrial educations. While our feeling against President "Brownville" Roosevelt | "most if not quite as strong as" against Senator "Foul-Mouth" Ben Tillman, we cannot fall to note the fact that the latter's speech in the United States senate on Monday practically admits the correctness of the damaging charge or charges of the former, made in a special message to that august body. We confess to no surprise at the outcome of the word-contest between the two worthies because a man who is guilty of delivering himself of so much wanton abuse of and so many miserable tirades against an almost helpless people as Tillman, throughout his public career as a United States senator, is not only capable of doing, but is very likely to do, just such "questionable" things as he practically admits having done in connection with that Oregon land scheme. Prominent prejudiced whites of Georgia have apparently enlisted willing black "tools" of that state to stir up trouble for Bishop C. S. Smith of the A. M. E. church, with the result that charges of one kind and another are to be presented against him at the meeting of the council of bishops of the church, to be held in Jacksonville, Fla., on February 4. Bishop Smith is a leader in the movement to fight the infamous "Jim Crow" car laws of the various southern states in the supreme court of the United States, and the collection of over $500 from Georgia churches for the purpose of paying attorney's fees in this case prompts the opposition, it is said, being brought against him at the instigation of the aforementioned prejudiced whites. It is an outrage THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1909. which we can trust our other bishops to handle. It is simply astonishing—if true—what some black scoundrels can be induced to do against their own people by our worst enemies—prejudiced white southerners. "WILLIE'S" SIDE-STEPPING ALREADY. "Acting upon information and advice President-elect Taft has written a letter to Asa G. Candler (white), chairman of the Atlanta chamber of commerce, withdrawing his engagement to address the Afro-Americans of that city on his forthcoming visit. A lively row is in progress among the Atlanta Negroes, it is understood here, over the question of where Mr. Taft should make this address. Consequently, the bitterness and the advice which decided Mr. Taft to decline came from prominent Negroes." The foregoing was a dispatch to the daily newspapers of the country sent last week from the Taft headquarters in Augusta, Ga. It will not take our readers long to "see through it." Taft has already begun to "side-step" the Afro-American in the south and is fast being thoroughly converted by the prejudiced of that section, to their way of treating the Afro-American of the Southland. It will not be long (if indeed it is not already true) until he will also be converted to their unreasonable and foolish way of thinking, as far as our people are concerned. Taft is almost daily proving the wisdom of the stand our best men took last fall when they opposed his election to the presidency. ANOTHER "OPEN LETTER." January 8. 1909. January 8, 1909. Editors Cleveland Plain Dealer, Press, Leader and News, Dear Sirs: Paul Miller (white) accused of attacking Grace Ries, a 16-year-old girl (white) in a doctor's office in the Rose building recently, was arrested, transferred to the probate court and transported (at the taxpayers' expense) to Milwaukee to rejoin his wife. Judge Hadden said he would nolle the case in the police court. Miller was sane enough to say that he suffered with a disease of the spine which affected his eye-sight. This we presume was in explanation of his attack upon a slip of a girl in broad daylight in one of the largest office-buildings in the city. The local newspapers published all the facts in connection with this case without big black-face type "scare" headlines and even refrained from saying that the occupants of the offices in the Rose building "were up in arms" as a result of Miller's assault, to say nothing of the people of the district bounded by E. Ninth, Prospect and Euclid avenues and Ontario street. Would this all have come to pass—the smooth action of both police and probate courts, city and county officials and daily newspapers—if Paul Miller had been a Negro? You will excuse my asking this question when you remember the most recent attempt to stir up a local sensation as the result of the alleged crimes of a Negro in the Twelfth ward. All the Afro-Americans of this community ask is a "square deal." They rarely ever get it. Yours respectfully, THE MORAL CANCER Rev. H. M. Edmons (white) in a recent sermon on the Seventh commandment at the First Presbyterian church (white) of Montgomery, Ala., caused the cold chills to run up and down the backs of many of the male members of his congregation, and an uncomfortable feeling to possess many of the women in attendance, by dealing plainly with the question of the relation of white "men" of the south to Afro-American women of that section. He said: "You have degraded the women of the black race; you are reaping the real harvest of a new crime and you will continue to reap it for years to come. I am afraid. God said, 'Thou shalt not, and he meant it' thundered the preacher in a burst of feeling that made the audience tremble. Well may it do so to any audience in that section, so notorious, fragrant and general is the terrible evil complained of. White "men" of the south have ever, and do to this day, do more to corrupt the merals of our women in that section, and thus lower the moral standard of the entire race in this country, than all other influences combined. "The delicate subject," as it is termed, includes so very many leading white "men" of the Southland who are powerful in the commercial and political worlds, that few clergymen or others, north or south, have had the courage and religious ferver to call the public's attention to the great moralancer as has the Rev. Mr. Edmons. May his tribe increase, and more power to him. He is performing a public and religious duty the church has neglected and side-steped entirely too long. Here is a field of Christian endeavor for the white clergymen of the south, particularly, that if worked consistently, courageously and intelligently, will not the greatest and grandest results. "FOR THE HONOR OF THE WHITE RACE." Stanley Ketchell (white) Champion middleweight pugilist, who has hitherto refused to fight an Afro-American, wants "his block" knocked off, and therefore has challenged "Jack" Johnson, heavyweight pugilist of the world, who is 30 pounds heavier, has a longer reach, etc., and is far the better man, all around, to meet him "for the honor of the white race." If the fight ever takes place, and "Jimmy" Cofforth of San Francisco, pugilistic fight-promoter, has wired an offer for the fight to take place on July 4 at Colma, Cal., which Ketchell and his manager, Willus Britt, have accepted, and Johnson has yet to hear of, good-by "honor of the white race." He will be a wiser and much beaten "pug" when the contest is over, if it ever takes place. However as Sam Langford, the great Boston Afro-American middleweight who is abroad hunting Johnson with a challenge, is regarded as a premier fighter in Ketchel's class, "Jack" ought to and doublebill will insist on these two worthies trying it out between themselves before going out of their class and coming to him for a beating. This would be an eminently proper course for him to pursue, under the circumstances, regardless of Stanley's "everweninging desire" to "win back the championship for the white race." In the language of a very fair "sport" writer for one of our local daily papers, Walter C. Kelly (white): "It would be mighty poor matchmaking for Ketchell to go against Johnson, when Sam Langford, a man of Stanley's own weight and just as good as Johnny, would be around waiting for a chance to meet the middleweight champion. Langford and Ketchell are evenly matched in all respects, and a battle between them would draw the largest crowd that has witnessed a contest on the Pauley coast in a long time. The betting man would have proved for both men have proved in past performances to be great all around boxes and terrific hitters. "As a middleweight Langford is supreme. Small wonder the old color line excuse is thrown out by Papke. The name of Sam Langford is mentioned." "At the time Corbett beat John L. Sullivan he was a wonder, and might have beat a man like Johnson. But today, 'Jack Johnson is the 'King of the jungle,' and an amuriger rival in sight. He won the championship fairly, and is by long odds the best man who has presumed to attain the title since Jeffries retired. And Jeffries was in a class by him. No one knows this better than Jeffries, whose winning days as a heavyweight pugilist have passed. Yes, he "WAS in a class by himself," just as "Jack" Johnson IS today. The following from the sporting page of another local daily, is pertinent: "In all this fight talk since Johnson beat Burns, Jeffries has been the central figure. Jeff is coaxed and begged and pleaded with to come out and change the untoward complexion of affairs that followed the terrible calamity sprung in Sydney. A forerunner who had to get a move on and throw these same feet toward relieving the awful strain upon those who have the spotlessness of the prize ring at heart. Fifty thousand dollars for just another try with the mits, no matter what hapens to him. And to all the hula-baloo, the gift offering, the pleadings, the adulations, and even the threats, the pressure about Jack Johnson? Where does the champion get a peep in? Tom McCarey of Los Angeles sees the offer of McIntosh of Sydney and raises the purse. McCarey rushes to the forge with $50,000 to jeff and declares that he can pull off the fight and will see that Johnson is in the act. But McCarey doesn't consult Johnson in the case he sees Johnson in the limit necessary. Johnson doesn't figure, except as a means to Jeffries reclaiming the "white supremacy. Johnson when seeking a match with the holder had to follow Buras around the globe and then let him dictate to him. What do you suppose Johnson will do now? One stubborn man does not want to be punished. And you can gamble that now he will demand all a champion's end. And any time he isn't a match for the white man's cunning, there's Sam Fitzpatrick. If Jeffries the Jeffries that made a toy of the greatest boxers, if he were still the giant before whom all fist men crumbled like a snowball, he would there remain the fact that he can't beat Johnson without Johnson being a party to the contract." All of which is quite true and ought to be considered by those fight promoters and prejudiced "pugs" who are rushing into the "lime-light" these days with all sorts of statements and "challenges" to world's champion Johnson. Another Characteristic Decision Another Characteristic Decision. Washington, D. C. The case of the United States against Robert Powell (white), involving the question of whether the fourteen amendment invoked the United States courts to protect Afro-Americans against lynching, was decided Monday by the supreme court of the United States on a writ of error bringing the case from the United States circuit court for the northern district of Alabama. Powell is under indictment on lynching charges in lynching Horace Maples at Huntsville, the specific charge being that as a member of the lynching party Powell had deprived Maples of the right to a trial by due process of law. The circuit court held that the fourteenth amendment was not applicable to the case and declared that it could not be enjoined. The plaintiffs of was inflicted by the state or its authorities. The supreme court's decision affirmed the decision of the lower tribunal. The Christmas Period. The Christmas period this season was more enchanting than usual to the women of New York, because they looked better and their beauty looked better than ever before. The reason is they have learned to use the Chemical Wonder Company's remarkable covetors to make their appearance possessing and presentable. These "Wonders" consist of "Complexion Wonder," which gives a lighter color to any skin and improves any countenance. This company has a "Wonder Comb," which helps straighten the hair of the skin. The Wonder Hair Uncurl," which keeps the hair straight, flexible and luxurient. If the hair is too short, one should use "Wonder Hair-Grow," which fertilizes the scalp and makes the hair grow longer just as fertilizer in the cotton of their cotton crop. Any of these "Wonders" will be sent to 50c by M. B. Berger & Co. 2 Rector street, New York. Again No Afro-American Congressman, Washington, D.

Columbus, O.—Republican opposition in the senate, to an early adjournment Wednesday, temporarily blocked the adoption of Senator Mather's resolution providing for a recess to February 15 and final adjournment on February 19. The four Hamilton county senators surprised their colleagues by standing against the resolution. Senator Patterson, who has always espoused a long session this year, also opposed the resolution. The Hamilton county senators explained that they would not agree to any resolution of adjournment until after next Saturday night when they expected to meet some of their constituents in Cincinnati and ascertain what legislation, if any, would be demanded by that city.

Picture Recalls Collinwood Fire Columbus, O. — Wednesday there was hung on the wall of the relic room in the state house a picture, including the photographs of the 162 child victims of the Collinwood school fire. Though it was almost a year ago that this fatality shocked the whole country, the pictures of all the children who perished had not been assembled before. Representative W. C. Shafer of Cuyahoga county was taken to the room to look at the picture, but he turned and walked away after one glance. He could not bear to look at it, for among the photographs was that of his own child, a ten-year-old girl. Special Elections Only Remedy Columbus, O. — Special elections to issue deficiency bonds in order to pay the expenses of municipal government, soon may be the sequel of elections under the Rose county option law by which many cities have been voted dry. According to J. T. Tracy of the state bureau of uniform accounting, who made an address to the City Auditors' Association of Ohio Wednesday, such elections appear to be the only way in which many cities can get out of a pinch in which they will find themselves. Insane Man Runs Amuck. Hamilton, O.—Rudolph Wirtz, secretary of the Wirtz Transfer Co., a prominent man, went insane on Wednesday and ran amuck, injuring six people, including his wife, who will probably die.

He was beaten almost insensible before being disarmed. Wirtz slashed his brother Julius 12 times in the face. Ohio Mining Accidents Decrease Columbus, O. — There were 110 fatal mining accidents in 1908 in Ohio, a decrease of 28 per cent as compared with the number for the preceding year. This is due to a more rigid enforcement of the laws by the state mining department, of which George Harrison is chief inspector; to the disposition of miners and operators to better comply with the safety requirements of the laws, and to the somewhat decreased production of coal. Had Conference With Cases Had Conference with Governor. Columbus, O—Secretary of State Thompson conferred with Gov. Harmon on Wednesday relative to the certificate of election act to the governor to be issued to Theodore E. Burton, who was chosen for that office by the general assembly Wednesday.

New Glass Company Formed Columbus, O. — Predictions were made on Wednesday that Thursday would witness the completion of plans for the establishment of the Imperial Glass Co., which is designed as a combination of independent manufacturers of window glass to effect economies which will make it easier for the independents to compete with the machine-made glass of the American Window Glass Co. The Imperial company is expected to control the output of hand-made window glass. Wanted to Be Buried in Southern Soil. Columbus, O.—The dying request of J. M. Foster of Massachusetts, a union veteran and member of the Grand jury of the Republic, that he may be laid to rest in southern soil, was granted Wednesday, interment being in a local cemetery. Mr. Foster came to Columbus six years ago. He fell in love with the south and a few minutes before he died Monday night he made the request that he be buried here. Foul Play Suspected. Akron, O.—The disappearance of C. H. Morton, persistent of the Ohio and Pennsylvania league until Tuesday afternoon, has not yet been cleared up.

That this paper was correct in both instances as usual its made so clear now that what we call attention to in the foregoing lines seems to have been entirely forgotten. Therefore the perniciousity of the above reminiscence. According to current rumor, a colorline is being drawn at the Forest street roll rink, with the result that our people are not allowed to attend it on Tuesday and Friday as has been the case heretofore. The New Leonard Street prelators, with S. C. Green, a member of the race, as general manager. It is also said that some man had trouble with his wife at the rink and there came near being a fight between a man and a boy at the same place recently. If the reports are true, the defenders suspecting members of the race who have been attacked place, ought to withdraw their patronage at once. The following is from the last issue of the Cleveland Toilet-paper. Wouldn't it "jar" you? "The noisy, but harmless Gazette continued its 'predictions' last week by saying something about a coming Waterloo if Foraker were not elected. The Indianapolis Freeman thinks the noisy fact of the toilet-paper and about everything else." The very idea of the flaming, luscious-lipped and "alabaster-browed" individual drawing attention to himself in such a way, IS amusing. If The Gazette has been a "a failure at predicting and about everything else," no one else in this community knows it except the very wise, successful and handsome "gazabo," all-wise "Noormy" who has "gravitated" a room or rooming room or kitchen to a back room (with all it implies) in Howard's Clayton building. Shall we say more? Who edits the Toilet-paper, anyhow? While A. D. Boyd, better known as "Starlight," was in Columbus Monday attending the inauguration of Gov. Harmon (Dem.) Officers Art. McFarland and Farrell (white) made five arrests, one white, on warrants charged with the theft of the drawings took place. The men arrested were Lew Halleck, 32, East Fort-third street; Frank Mihouse, 1322 St. Clair; Michael Mammus, 1222 St. Clair; Mannus, 38, 700 Burload road, and Christopher Johnston (white), 36, Brooklyn. Tuesday morning's Plain Dealer quotes Chief Kohler as saying in connection with the above that "there are some men high up in councils of Cleveland's Negro citizens who are arrested" (policy) that have not been arrested, but will be soon." We do not believe it, but will wait and see if those to be arrested "soon" are members of the race "high up" in our councils. We feel sure that some one has misled the police in the social or other recent status of the individuals of color "soon" to be arrested in connection with this latest crusade against policy and craps.

Xenia, O.—A moss-back "representative" has introduced a bill in the Ohio house of representatives to prohibit the intermarriage of whites and blacks in this state. It is strange, but it is against social equality, mixed marriage, are the very fellows we have the most trouble with, in protecting our women.—Miss Cudellis Hunter is the drawing card at Dreamland theatre.

Norris has succeeded to the proprietorship of the cafe at 3038 Central avenue, formerly conducted by Mr. Albert French. Harry West, Willie Green and Tom Fleming, the Chamber of Commerce barber, have thus early announced their candidacies for a Republican nomination this fall as councilmen-at-large. Alvin J. Sellers entertained Mr. and Mrs. L. Dudley and Miss Jennie Pearl of the Chamber of Commerce Barnett, E. W. Sellers and J. C. Brown last Sunday night at Adkins' restaurant. Mrs. Adkins cooked one of her famous meals. Everybody nearly knows how fine they are. W. L. Brown, James Tyler, James Tilley and Dallas Cooper attended the inauguration at Columbus Monday with the Cuyahoga Democracy. They were joined by the mayor and canes and formed one of the first few lines in the local organization. They were the cynosure of all eyes. Last week after a heated political argument in his cafe, "Starlight" (A. D. Boyd) smashed Walter Brooks in the eye, giving him a more or less serious, damaged or tortured case; the case came up in the police court Wednesday. These are the individuals, who with Eubanks, Fleming and a few others, pose as local political leaders among our people. How do you like it? The four or five white "hours" girls in the Soe or at the Cleveland theatre last week, came near breaking up the show, it is said. The leading singer threatened to quit one night early in the week, if they were not "fired," so current rumor has it. It seems that the male members of the company were paying the palace-face, not entirely too much attention; at least so the leading singer thought, it is said. The presidency and vice presidency of the "Business Men's" association "went a-begging at its meeting last week Monday evening; no one seemed to want the places. A number were named for them, but "respectfully declined." Geo. W. Johnson certainly stirred up "the animals" that evening according to several well-known sources. Dr. E. A. Dale was finally elected president and "Gusse" Eubanks vice. Wm. Penrose, alias Bagley, No. 3036 Cedar avenue S. E., was given the extreme limit of the law by Judge Levine last week. For weeks police have been searching for the person who attacked a boy and two girls. Lawrence Fleming, 14 years old, was his last victim. Several members of the Fighting Faction publicly identified the prison in police court as the man wanted. The judge imposed a sentence of $200 and costs and six months. The case against the persons arrested Monday charged with selling policy tickets was continued in the police court on Wednesday until the 20th Wednesday, the directors of the "Starlight" policy company several of whom are prominent local Afro-Americans (lawyers and a doctor), are threatened with arrest. We expect to be able to publish their names in our next issue—as soon as the warrants for their arrest are issued. The People's Band of Columbus and Finney's orchestra will not be at the Gray's armory, but will be at the performing Benj. L. Shook, jr., manager of the orchestra, Detroit, wrote The Gazette recently that "no arrangement has been made with Finney's orchestra to appear in Cleveland in January. Furthermore, owing to the great rush of business during the month of July, the impossibility for the orchestra to accept an engagement away from home." The "Starlight" (A. D. Boyd)-Walter Brooks fight referred to elsewhere in The Gazette to-day took place as they were leaving the bar in "Starlight's" saloon to go upstairs to the recent dinner given by them and others in honor of Representative Hennie Eubanks. The dinner cost $10 and the sentence suspended in the police court on Wednesday. Walter Brooks stated on leaving the court room that he believed that "Starlight" must have struck him with brass knuckles, such a terrific blow in the right optic was received. Last fall, a year ago, during the mayoralty campaign when The Gazette charged that Congressman Burton, the former Republican against Senator Foraker, there were many of our people who questioned the correctness of that statement.
