Here is a pretty little dress in willow-low green cashmere. The skirt is slightly full, and has a wide box-plait in the center front. The blouse is amocked each side front, and has a box-plait in center, which, with the turn-over collar, is trimmed with cord loops and silk buttons. The sleeves are smocked at the wrists, the hemmed edge of material being left to form a frill. Sash of soft ribbon of a darker shade than the cashmere. Materials required: 4 yards 48 inches wide. Shading in Embroidery. When shading in embroidery one cannot be too careful in doing the work. The colors should be run into each other gradually, so the changes will hardly be noticed. As the shades of silk are numbered, you should not find the work difficult. Do not use the very deep tones except where the flower or leaf is entirely in the shadow. Trimming for Cashmere. A charming trimming for cashmere or henrietta dinner frocks is messaline satin in self-tone, with matching sash, and a tucker and half-sleeves of gold lace or fine net. Eruc enveloped in colors harmonious with the cashmere and a novelty trimming or passmenterie to outline the tucker will give a smart touch to the costume. Bead Flowers. A novelty in millinery is flowers made of beads. These, however, are not likely to become either popular or common because of their expense, their weight, and usually their lack of grace. Roses are made of fine steel beads with silver stamens, and on black or gray velvet toques are effective. THE GAZETTE Artificial Bouquets Are Worn with the Evening Costume. As every woman knows, it is rather injurious to fine fabrics to pin heavy bunches of real flowers on them. They also fade before the evening is over and are apt to be discarded. The present fashion is to wear a large bunch of French blossoms, wonderfully colored and fashioned. There is no attempt to avoid daring and vivid combinations. This is a feature of this season's dressing. Scarlet papples as well as American Beauty roses are favored. Gardenias, with their glossy green leaves, are worn on black, purple and crimson frocks. Combination of flowers are not in as good taste as they were some seasons ago. The bunch is of one kind. It is pinned a little below the bust at the left side. This seems to be the exact spot accepted as the fashionable one. Among the rare flowers which are put on extra handsome gowns are illies of yellow satin with green leaves. Complexion Suffers Where There Is Lack of Self-Control. The girl who has a very quick temper must expect to have trouble with her complexion. Sometimes red spots come out prominently and refuse to be hidden even by powder. Sometimes there is a flush, and when it disappears the skin is quite dry and feels almost painful. The cause of all this is the excitement of getting angry. Very little can be done for the skin while the temper remains unchecked. Perhaps it would be a good idea for the girl who is worried about her poor complexion to examine herself to find out if a hasty temper is the cause of the mischief. Should this be so, let her set about gaining self-control before she attempts to improve her looks by the application of creams and lotions. Checks for Trimming. Many of the newest fall dresses are showing a touch of trimming or piping of checked material. For instance, a black suit is beautiful trimmed with a tiny piping of black and white checked serge. A dress of plain material—serge or panama—is very modish trimmed with bands of checked taffeta. What a difference a new touch like this makes! Even in an old-fashioned dress quite a new effect may be obtained by just a little modern trimming, which lightens up the whole and at once shows the wearer is up-todate. Newest Aprons. Among the newest fancy aprons are those made of cross-barred muslin or linen. The edge may be finished with insertion and lace and a dainty design embroidered across the bottom and up the sides. The embroidery can be done with colored silk or with white mercerized cotton. The work to be well padded and worked solid. Lace beading is used across the top, run with a delicate shade of ribbon to match the embroidery. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE.

"I observe that among some prominent members of congress there is a disposition to charge me with an attempt to win the south over to Republicanism and a somewhat contemptuous expression of opinion that this is utterly impossible. To them I would say that I am not hopeful of winning the south over, as they say, but that the south has succeeded in speaking me."—President-elect Taft, in a speech at Atlanta, GA, January 15, 1809 LANGFORD WILL FIGHT JONSON! THE TWO GREATEST FIGHTERS IN THE WORLD, IN THEIR CLASS. MAY GET TOGETHER IN LONDON American Promoters, However, Are Expected to Offer a Larger Purse and Thus Bring the Contest to This Country—Interesting Gossip. New York, City. — "Jack" Johnson and Sam Langford, the two greatest boxers, will fight for the championship of the world before the National Sporting club of London on May 24, the queen's birthday. A. F. Bettinson, manager of the club, has cabled that he has signed Johnson, who is now in Australia, and sent directions to the American representative of the club to get Langford at once. It will be the first battle for the championship of the world between heavyweights of class since Jim Jeffries and Jim Chipman at San Francisco on August 14, 1903. Langford's Opportunity. Inasmuch as there is no question that Langford will jump at this chance to win the championship of the world it is considered that the match is as good as made. There is only one thing to interfere, and that is the possibility that American promoters will offer a purse so much larger than Langford, that the two men may be weaned away from it. But C. F. Mathison, the american matchmaker of the London club, sent a dispatch to Joseph A. Woodman, manager of Langford, now in San Francisco, notifying him of the date, and he expects an immediate answer. Woodman had wired the weight champion, the white Stanley Ketting, to him, for the weight championship, his first choice, he would be glad to get a match with the big Texan. It is expected in New York by Woodman's friends that he will start with his protege for the east just as soon as he can get ready. His efforts to get a weight championship for the weight championship he driven that boxer from California to his home in Michigan, so there is not the slightest chance of a battle between them. Are Afraid of Langford. In fact, all of the middleweights and heavyweights of the country have run to cover since Langford knocked out Jim Flynn in a single round at San Francisco. Charles Lecari, one of the promoters, recently tried to get two men to fight him and he failed. The National club has not shown interest in the offer of Ketchel to fight Johnson. Manager Bettinson, it is understood, would not consider him a winner, but he did. Langford is almost as much a favorite in London as Johnson. His quick defeat of two men before the National club two years ago proved to the lords and millionaires who make up that institution what he could do. They would not think of letting Gunner Moir, then the British champion, win. Langford would try to their champion against Burns, whom they were convinced was no match for the gunner. The battle between Johnson and Langford will, in the opinion of experts, be much more like a world's championship contest than was the recent fight in Australia. While Johnson defeated Burns with ease he had to win by a point, outpoint Langford when the latter weighed only 145 pounds in their match at Chelsea, Mass., two years ago. Langford now weighs 170. COLORED CATHOLICS. "Oblate Sisters of Providence"—"The Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Family." Etc. Pittsburgh, Pa.—It may come as a sort of revelation to many readers to learn that at the present day there are almost 200 Afro-American nurses laboring on behalf of their own people. And it may surprise them still more to be told that one of these two orders, the Oblate Sisters of Providence, has been in existence as a community he have about 90 members to-day they have about 90 members to-day onorphanages and day schools in Baltimore, Normandy, Missouri, St. Louis, Leavenworth, Kan.; a parochial school in Washington, D. C., and a day school in Havana, Cuba. They have over 200 orphans under their care and 500 pupils in their schools. The present superior, Mother Mary Magdalen Cratin, is a woman of remarkable intelligence and administrative ability, and under her enlightened rule the work of the order has worked well. The Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Family was the second order founded (in 1842) for our women. The mother house of the order is in what was formerly a notorious dance hall in New Orleans, where now constant prayer to God and the practice of good works make it a hallowed place. The sisters number about 80 souls. They have an academy for girls in New Orleans and teach in the schools of the cathedral parish, St Maurice's and St. Bernard's, in the town of St. Bernard, in the district of St. John Berchman's asylum and Lafon's Orphan asylum, New Orleans, besides teaching in parochial schools in other portions of Louisiana. Mother Mary Austin is their general superior. IN MEMORIAM. Mrs. Mary Long Berry, wife of P. Ross Berry, the well-known contractor, and a pioneer resident of Youngstown, passed away at the family residence in Thomas street, Wednesday, December 30, 1908, after six months' illness. The deceased was an earnest and devoted member of the First Baptist SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. church of that city for 41 years. She always took an active part in religious work, and was prominently connected with all the church departments. She was always doing deeds of kindness, and was genial to all. Her words were her bonds. Her devotion, that of duty. She never compromised with error, or temporized with wrong. She died as she lived. Her body be free from suffering, and her spirit is at rest. She is in the enjoyment of that reward reserved for her. Throughout the city, Mrs. Berry enjoyed a wide acquaintance and held the respect of all who knew her. We mourn because death has claimed one we esteemed, respected and loved. Her great soul which has taken its flight, will be immortal not only in the skies, but in our hearts and memories, until we are called to join her in the presence of God, where she dwells in that peace which surpasses all understanding.

IN UNION THE LEGS STRONGER GOOD POINTERS FOR JUDGE TAFT GEORGIA'S LEADING REPUBLI- CAN TALKS PLAINLY TO THE PRESIDENT-ELECT. FEDERAL OFFICE GAMBLING Political Corruption—How to Build Up the Republican Party in the South—Col. Tom M. Bldoggett, Fearless and Outspoken. Editor Gazette—Sir: I submit for the columns of your paper the following open letter to President-elect Taft, which is self-explanatory, and puts him on notice that the Republicans of the south are prepared, if need be, to make a fight before the senate committees for self preservation. T. M. BLODGETT, Atlanta, Ga. Hon. W. H. Taft, Augusta, Ga.: Dear Sir: The political corruption to which I invited your careful and considerate thought in my letter of the 9th is present in Georgia in a most dangerous shape and quantity. It needs the judicial temperament, and the faculty of dispassionate analysis, which you possess to a most eminent degree, to properly handle it. The federal officeholders have made this inquiry imperative, but nothing that man would do to you would be proach they have brought upon the high offices they have occupied, to the exclusion of better men. In strengthening the party you cannot hope for many accessions from the secessionists, their children, or their children's children. If you desire to build up the party, to uplift Republicanism in the south, you must look to the more modest children, the children of the foreign element, and to those who have moved among us from the north and west, but who, on account of business prejudice, social ostracism, and invertebrate prejudice against Republicanism, have thought it the part of wisdom to act and vote with the Democratic Party. These problems are up to you; if not solved correctly, then the real fight has just begun. Publicity and agitation have done much; they will do more. The people have, many of them, been aroused to individual activity. There will be no lagging, no backward step. It is a fight to the ground, and the people are away at these growing evils, have seen the importance of keeping complete and accurate vital statistics concerning the tenure of office, the character, the reputation, the acts both private and public of these "life-long federal office-holders," that I might be able, should an opportunity present itself, to advantageously for the most vital interests of Republicanism in the south. It is undeniable that gambling in federal offices constitutes the larger percentage of business done by the Republican organization of this state, "Whom they will, they destroy." No quarter is granted to men who have the courage to differ with them. Your courage to differ is a rare era of prosperity and liberty. It is necessary to ignore the Negro; in fact, it should not be done. Subtract the Negro vote, and you would have lost Missouri and Maryland; so it will be in all the south. When these men who have held the offices in Georgia for the past 12, 20 and 30 years, ask for reappointment, I humbly petition you to give me an honest opportunity, register my protest against their continuation in office, furnishing my reasons why, submitting the facts and evidence by which I have been actuated, believing this preferable to filling charges and producing evidence before the senate committees. Very respectfully. T. M. BLODGETT, Chairman Republican State League of Georgia. Probably Fatally Injured. Lorain, O.-Rev. J. J. Watson, former pastor of the Second Baptist church here, more lately carpenter, was probably fatally injured Monday in a brawl over a card game with John Williams, who is under arrest while Watson is in a hospital with a fractured skull. The assault took place in Joseph Licorelli's saloon, where Watson spent most of the afternoon playing cards with Williams, who lost about 726,000. Williams it is alleged, left the table suddenly went into the street, picked up a stone and returning to the saloon, struck Watson a heavy blow on the side of the head. "Brother" Gains "Means Business." Collins, Miss—Seeking to restrain the execution of a law for the establishment and support of agricultural schools "for the education of white youths" in Mississippi on the ground that it violates the Fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution, Robert Gains, an Afro-American, has obtained a temporary writ of action before Judge Bullard. The writ prevents the collection of taxes for such schools. Hun Frederick Douglass. February 14 is generally celebrated as the birthday of Hon. Frederick Douglass. I wish to emphasize the above statement and ask that our fragrance be made available to Sunday schools throughout the country set aside this day in celebration of Mr. Douglass' devoted services in behalf of the race.

Cleveland, Saturday, January 23, 1909. 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. Keep up the good work, Col. Blodgett; the president-elect needs it. The prejudiced white south has won Taft. See what he says about it elsewhere in this paper. If "Jack" Johnson or any other Afro-American pugilist holds the world's championship, a year or two, there are a few thousand prejudiced "pugs" and sports who will be candidates for positions as inmates of insane asylums. The Cleveland News and Plain Dealer, of late, have repeatedly used the word "darky," and such expressions as "black as licorice," etc., don't spend your hard-earned money for any paper that will so try to insult, deride and ridicule you and your race. Stop taking the News and the Plain Dealer. Are you a "darky?" Are you "black as licorice?" It would seem so, if you purchase copies of either of the papers mentioned, in the face of such studied efforts to insult, deride and ridicule you and your race. In all his 18 or 20 years in congress, Congressman T. E. Burton, now senator-elect, to succeed Senator Foraker on March 4, has never cast a vote of importance in favor of any measure of vital interest to the race, nor has he secured even a second-class appointment, to say nothing of a first-class one, for a member of our race—if memory serves correctly and we think it does. If we are wrong, however, we will be glad to have him "set us right in this matter." Those persons who are so unsophisticated as to believe that the senator-elect has "crushed" the Taft-Roosevelt crowd in control of the Republican organization in this state, and that he will lead the party, do not know the men they refer to as being "crushed" and have forgotten that their leaders are the present chief executive of the country and the one to succeed him on March 4; also that these captains' first lieutenant in Ohio is and will be for at least four years to come, the latter's brother, one Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati. RACE SUPERLATIVES. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1909. every feature of real merit in every one of our race, the more especially so since we know how many obstacles stand in the way of our progress; but that fact does not warrant any empty boasts of greatness or any foolish assumption of superiority—two faults of which many of our own papers convict us week after week. Now there is no city in the country where our population can have, to the extent that it has in Washington, D.C. opportunities for remunerative employment of a high order; and none where the average of intelligence and trained mental equipment among us is so high—and it would seem almost as true that there is no city in the country where our population as a whole could make less practical use of these high privileges. The "Meet Around the Festival Board," as a correspondent of a New York paper recently put it, is the average Afro-American Washington's chief ambition, at least this is true of those who live in the limelight; and it is on those occasions that the country at large gets a rollout of our so-called "great." To banquet somebody, in more or less state and eclat, is about the only magnet that serves to draw these "great" together. It is doubtful if any appeal could be couched in strong enough terms to draw out this same coterie where the purpose and aim would be to organize a charity, establish a business, or help an educational or philanthropic enterprise. And yet this very coterie are set forth in the population in Washington. Take, for instance, a dinner recently given by this coterie to a few visiting members of the race who were in Washington in attendance upon a meeting called to handle a large fund given by a white person for the education of our children. The meeting was held by a mixed board, and was conducted with dignity, wisdom and success. The complimentary dinner tendered the Afro-American members, while of questionable taste and policy, was entirely respectable in the personnel of its hosts. But let us notice how the tendency above-mentioned led one correspondent to place the matter before the public. He said, "It was the most representative assemblage of Negroes ever gotten together." Continuing, he said, "Every man there was one with an enviable national reputation." He then undertook to particularize the "stars" in that "bright galaxy," and among them were three or four doctors, each of whom has a good, living practice, but neither of whom has done anything to mark him as a "national character." There were two Washington lawyers there as hosts, neither whom has shown any evidence of anything more than medicoe ability in his profession, and both of whom were glad to give up their private practice for federal positions paying about $2,000 a year each, yet they were served up by our enterprise reporter as men of "national character," while there are also Afro-American professionals in Washington whose professional standing is quite high, and whose private practice yields them individually twice as much as those individuals as "national" characters. Among the other Washington celebrities who starred in that "galaxy" is a government clerk whose salary is $1,800 a year, whose duties are merely routine, and whose mental equipment is narrowed down to the edge of his duties. And although there are half a dozen Afro-American clerks here with equal and better mental equipment, he is the one who rises to the proportions of a "national" character, in the eyes of the aforesaid correspondent. Finally, for the purpose of this enumeration, mention was also made of a Washington real estate broker and note-sawer. He, too, was presented as a "national" character. Some months ago a Washington paper presented the face and biography of an Afro-American architect over the line—"The World's Greatest Architect." It is nothing to the point to assert that this particular architect has shown the possession of real talent by his work, and has actually demonstrated high class ability; to load him with such extravagant epithets, however, is neither fair to the public nor agreeable to him. These instances one and all, show how prone some of us are to idle and foolish exaggeration; they show how little it takes on environment us great in the eyes of each other, although we live in an environment that obliges us to measure up the full standard about us; and, finally, they show how utterly vain is the pretense that many of us make of occupying a place in the only real front rank of things. The Lesson: Cannot those of us who try to think sane on these things unite to turn the current of our race thought into more profitable channels? Is it not an effort worthy of the best of us? NEW YORK SOCIETY. Prominent white women of New York have always used cold cream for the face, but since Complexion Wonder Creme was discovered, colored people use it as much as white people. It improves any countenance, whether white, black or brown. It does not put whiting on the face, but makes the natural skin whiter. As far as business is concerned, the Chemical Wonder Co. certainly is the greatest friend the Negro race ever had. They have several articles suited to us colored people. They have a pomade called Wonder Uncurl, which tends to keep the hair straight and pliable, so that it will dress well. They have a magnifying lens to straighten the hair. They have a remarkable fertilizer for the scalp. Just as fertilizers in the cotton field make the cotton grow, so this fertilizer on the scalp makes the hair grow longer. If people wish to be well-groomed and feel well-groomed, they ought to pat themselves with a B. Berger & Co., 2 Rector street, New York, are the agents. They will send any one of these articles for 50 cents, or all of them for $2.00. Died in Coils of White-Hot Wire. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Caught in the white-hot colts of wire as it came from the mashinery in the plant of the American Steel and Wire Co., Frank L. Benson, 17 years old, met death in a horrible manner Monday. The hot wire wrapped itself about the young man's neck and body and he was dead before his fellow employees could release him. AS TO THE VICTOR ROLLER RINK According to current rumor, a colorline is being drawn at the Forest street roller 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 Sofa Bed Co. is advertised as producer 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 decent, self-respecting members of the race who have been attending the place, ought to withdraw their patronage at once. — The Gazette, Jan. 10, 2000 The publication of the above communication, which is self-explanatory: Cleveland, O., Jan. 18, 1909. Editor Gatzene—Dear Sir: I am enclosing you one of our first posters from the roller rink at the Forest Street armory. You will notice by this poster that we have the rink on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday and many so far days ever since. I also wish to call your attention that the writer has sold the tickets at the rink on every one of these occasions and has never refused to sell anyone a ticket that had the price, regardless of color or creed, and your statement in your last week's issue is absolutely without foundation. The rink on Tuesday and Friday nights is leased to other parties and not under the jurisdiction of the Leonard School of the THE LEONARD SOCIAL REP. CO. S. C. Green, Sec. The Gazette wishes to repeat what it made plain in the article in our last issue published at the opening of this article by S. C. Green: first, that the article complained of is not a "statement" of The Gazette but simply current report or rumor; secondly, that we did not and do not vouch for the truthfulness of the rumors and reports. However, in connection therewith, we give as answer the "perpetual" and in S. C. Green's letter, a dodger as exhibit 2, which was circulated in the city in recent weeks and is pertinent to the matter under discussion: S. C. Green's letter, and another communication of interest. As to the attendance upon the rink, there are those who claim that the rink is not the same as the Victor roller rink) on Tuesday or Friday evenings, or both, previous to the reported opening of the same on these evenings "for whites only." According to persistent reports, because of the alleged discrimination in their favor on Tuesday and Friday evenings, there is a notable feature in the rink's management on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings is the admission of white people. This, reports say, make it possible for the latter to use the rink and skates every night and day in the week that it is open for skating, while our people are barred out of it on Tuesday and Friday evenings. The dodger headed exhibit 2. Following are the exhibits and communication referred to: * **Exhibit 1.** The Forest Street Armory (E. 27th past Central Ave.) has been purchased by the Leonard Sofa Bed Co. and will be opened up as a ROLLER RINK Monday, December 7, at 7 p. m. Skating from 8 to 11 p. m. Admire the 15c. We check skaters' wraps free. The rink will be opened Monday, Wednesday and Saturday even- ings at 7 o'clock. This is the largest roller rink between New York and Chicago. We have 100 pairs of skates. We have a fine shared dance floor for all who do not care to skate. THE LEONARD SOFA BED CO.

The governor has secured quarters for himself at the New Willard hotel. The staff will be at the Army and Navy club. Both the chief executive and the members of the staff will ride horses at the head of the Ohio delegation in the parade. Col. Edward Voilrath of Bucyrus, commander of the Eighth regiment, O. N. G., will take his entire command to Washington to attend the inauguration. Kept with the home merchants it is a messenger of continu benefit. Business men should awake to the importance of keeping this dollar at home and make a bid for it by judicious advertisement. THE SOUTH IS ONLY TO BLAME! 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—Northern Spirit. Washington, D. C.—The local eye, always a political and commonly an offended eye, turns often to Georgia and the Mr. Jeff. The latter is the busiest president-elect that the world has ever seen. Fears are expressed, however, that he may haul more wood than he can saw and spilt. 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. New brooms sweep clean, particularly While 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 slipshod way. The White House is a heavy load. Most presidents don't wield their office, their office wields their. I've had the 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 files in amber. The other will know more of the presidency later on. It will flypaper characteristics. Also many presidents have been caught there 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 spiritited president will do, the picture, doubtless considers what surprising things he will do, what marvelous 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 tills of the cart, however, all is changed. Somebody else loads the hammer on his pistol, and he shall haul it. The last thing he does 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, so with your president. Those sublime purposes must be abandoned, those profound policies put aside. In the end he surrenders to the crushing force of the gun, and in the hands with Elijah the Tisbite that he 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 telegraph, he spoke re-affirming that "the party to which I 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 replies to the people in city but to the people. Also Mr. Taft's expressed intention of making a pet of the south would, were it carried out, become 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, so that not know, and south, so that not afflicted from, but I know that if such be the fact she has been the architect of her own griefs. Nor can I think that there is any apology, any explanation, any promise due the south from the nation at large. If you tramp reward to the civil war you find it began, but by the nation nailing it down. And the nation ringing 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, if election wishes them census returns are to be considered, the south with double the representation comparatively of the balance of the country. And yet no one seriously considers putting that the repression down. When the situation reversed you would hear a southern yell go up calculated to make the welkin—whatever that may be—ring 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 chambermaid; made her own chambermaid; has been studiously imical. That of the north has been generous and fair. A man in the north calls himself an "American." On the tropical side of Mason and Dixon's line everybody is a. "Southerner." The south forgets to speak to her, and the region. 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 large can stand this narrowness of being "Southern" much longer, much better, than the south. **Shotgun Versus Spelling Book.** The trouble with the south measurably is that she has relied too much on the shotgun to form the 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. Only the other day when certain gentlemen crossed the sissippi for the purpose of hiring a gang of Negroes they were politely warned that to escape a lynching they A Dollar The Home Paper had better return home. Mississippi wanted her own Negroes. 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 differently. Very much this disfranchisement of the Negro. Over in Maryland the latest, smartest device to cheat 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 10 percent. No question of color finds specification, 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 abolition fifty years ago isn't dead, but sleepep. Such vote doings as those promised in Maryland are calculated to arouse the public. Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrisons and John Browns will quicken into being. Again in that Maryland scheme for the disfranchisement of the black is the south firing on the nation, and soon or late—rather sooner than later, perhaps—it will provoke a war, not of bullets, but ballots, which will cost more than all she lost in the war of the rebellion. Let me remind you that I'm talking, not for the black men, but the white The south for her own interest should find some other way to plan around that stump of the black man's vote. Should "we" prophested his vote, should she as such that business is well calculated to start it any attempt to stay it until it has run its crushing, grinding course would prove as weakly fule as throwing up your arm to ward away an avalanche. Lewis (white) in Chicago Examiner. 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 disfranchising laws were enacted more with the end in view of enabling the Bourbon regime to manipulate and perpetuate political control than for mere Negro disfranchisement. The new state constitutions are avenues open for chicanery in these 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 of the whites and practically mows down all of the blacks. Appealing to the moral 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 representation, this is as effective as that proposition of pouring water upon the back 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. The fact is that many of those who have brought this about for Mr. Taft to talk about this thing of equality of application of injustice, and denying voice in representation where there is taxation is injustice. The disfranchising statesmen have all along broadly proclaimed fairness in the application of these laws. These people can find no reason in lining up with Mr. Taft. Pretense and practice, however, are far apart. We are not unwilling that the 175,000 disfranchised Negro voters in 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 not a blessing for them, but also 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 president long enough to know that these Bourbon colonels 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 Taft smile will wind up with the best of the political diplomacy and with a good share of the offices. Mr. Taft can not expect votes from 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 hook until they have gotten off the bait and then the school of fish that he has tamed 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 brow beat him into line with the police. The police can policy of acquiescence into Bourbon disfranchisement. — Alexander City (Ala.) Southern American. Gives you the reading matter in which you have the greatest interest—the home news.

The result was that a large number of people who had not learned of the impending result were "stung" and stung badly for new clothes, carriages and a number of automobile parties were only displayed. The "extravaganza" was to have been made up of a concert and dance. Among those announced to participate in the concert were Mrs. Kittle Mitchell, J. W. Wills, the Philligan's band and others. It is said that Marshall, who we understand came from as promoted concerts and dances in New York City, and other places. Several constables were in waiting at the armory to attach the receipts for bills contracted by him in this and other cities. Local Afro-Americans constituted his "honorary" and floor committee at the Woody Bramar and last week Friday night that "we would have Stone's famous band and orchestra here within two weeks." Wonder who "we" are? GOOD COMPANY FCR 1909 You are careful what choice of friends the young people of your household make.

THE YOUTH'S COMPANION, 144 Berkley Street, Boston, Mass. HAS HEARST AGENT ARRESTED Gov. Haskell of Oklahoma Takes Peculiar Action in Controversy. Guthrie, Okla. — On a warrant sworn out by Gov. Haskell, charging conspiracy to defame the governor, Scott MacReynolds, attorney and special agent for William R. Hearst, was arrested Monday night. Armed with a search warrant, also sworn to by Gov. Haskell, MacReynolds' rooms were searched by the sheriff and a private attorney of the governor. A large number of data and papers were selzed. They are said to pertain to the $600,000 libel suit instituted by Gov. Haskell against Hearst. MacReynolds immediately demanded of the county court through his counsel the whereabouts of his papers. They were found in the private office of the governor. MacReynolds had collected a vast amount of data in confidence. In a statement made he declares that Gov. Haskell's purpose in obtaining his arrest and in seizing his papers was to obtain possession of this information to ascertain its importance and to learn from whom he obtained it.
