"When preparing for bed the face should be thoroughly washed with warm water and a good soap or finely ground oatmeal," says Harper's Bazar, which knows all things. "After this a light massage with cold cream will be soothing and beneficial, followed by a douche of cold water to close the pores. If the cold cream has been rubbed thoroughly into the skin—which is necessary for a dry skin or one dried by the wind and cold—it is better not to leave any superfluous cream on the skin for the night. Even if the cold water is not used at the end the cream should be wiped off. "The face may be washed in the same way in the morning, with a little less soap and cold cream, but with more cold water at the end to prepare it for the cold air outside. One cannot be too careful about washing the hands carefully before washing the face, or annotating it with cold creams or lotions. The necessity of having an absolutely clean cloth, if a cloth is used, is too frequently overlooked. Bleaches and lotions should be applied to the face and neck with pieces of antiseptic absorbent cotton." Monk's Cloth. Just why the name it is difficult to say, for there is nothing in the basket weave to suggest the cloister more than the hearth. The material is received with delight by the decorator because of its great width and its appearance of weight and strength. It is a rough cotton and flax stuff made in tan color and two different weaves, a fine and a coarse basket pattern. Especially suitable for draperies in massive doorways and also for large couch and table covers, it will no doubt be a favorite for porch upholstery. For an improvised rug of home manufacture for the occasionally used guest room, monk's cloth is entirely suitable in weight, will lie flat on the floor and is strong enough to stand the light use in such a room. A Bridal Shower. For a bride-elect who was married in January her hevy of friends arranged to purchase appropriate articles, one for each month in her first year. For January there was a good cook book with all verse apropos the need of just such a book in the household. February is a good month when a woman likes to make fancy work, so the little handkerchief bag was filled with the trifles needed in the work basket. March brought out a fan. Of course April was suggestive of house cleaning, and the kitchen apron, bar of soap and dustpan were very appropriate articles. So these gifts were all cleverly arranged, and while there was not an expensive article among them, they provided a happy surprise. Velvet Cream. Dissolve half an ounce of islinglass in half a breakfast cup of wine, add the juice of half a large lemon, rub some lumps of sugar over the lemon peel, and thus sweeten to taste. Then add half a pint of cream, strain the islinglass and wine. Stir the whole well together, and put into a mold. It requires no boiling after the cream is added, the islinglass, sugar and wine having been previously boiled together. Do not mix the wine and cream together till cold. THE GAZETTE Fashions in gloves come and go, but no matter what their length, if gloves do not fit easily, the hands appear short and clumsy. The fingers of the glove should be quite as long as the fingers of the hand. Besides, tight gloves do not last, which is an economical consideration. Refined and thoroughbred women, never wear gloves too small for them and many insist on a glove large enough to wrinkle, which may be taken off or put on in an instant. Kid gloves wear much longer when they are properly put on the first time. "It is quite a science," said a charming woman. "The hand should be perfectly clean, dry and cool. Never put on gloves when the hands are moist or too warm." First push in the four fingers, leaving the thumb out and the rest of the glove turned back over the hand. When the fingers are on, thanks to the gentle movements of the other hand, draw on the thumb with great care, placing the elbow on the knee. After this draw back the wrist of the glove and button the second button, continuing this all the way up. Then return to the first button, and you will see how easily it fastens without cracking the kid, which often happens if buttoned first. Besides this the buttonhole will not be stretched which is of great importance if one wishes the glove to look well as long as it lasts. Never pull gloves off by the finger tips, but by the wrists. They will thus be turned wrong side out, and the moisture communicated from the hand be quickly evaporated. When they are dry, put them carefully away in a proper place. Otherwise, they will shrink, split easily, and become useless. The New Finger Watch and the Wrist Watch. Flowers for Coiffure. Not every girl who buys a flower to wear in her hair knows that those made of velvet and of soft rather than vivid tones are infinitely more becoming to the complexion than flowers that have a hard sheen. The gold and silver flowers so much used this season are more smart than becoming unless a girl is sure of her color. If she does not wish to have her eyes lose in depth she should see that the roses do not lie close to the face. How to Make Florida Water To make Florida water, take two drams each of the oils of lavender, bergamot and lemon, one dram each of tincture of turmeric and oil of nerol, 30 drops of oil of balm and ten drops of oil of rose. Mix the above with two pints of deodorized alcohol. Too much perfume is not in good taste. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. DWARF PARTY! OFFICE-HOLDERS! DWARF PARTY!

THE COLORED SCHOOL FUNDS Of Many Districts in that Section and How They Are "Handled"—An Outrage —Where Does that More than a Half Thousand Dollars Go? Alexander City, Ala. —Postmaster J. C. Manning (white) of this city, editor of the Southern American, published the following in a recent issue of his paper: "The present so-called Republican state organization in Alabama is composed almost entirely of the state's citizens, every district and almost of every county organization in Alabama. Those who are not federal office-holders are expecting to be. This situation shows on its face a political organization that is impotent as a militant federal official bureaucracy. It is so made in this organization have to look do look to Democrats for endorse- Postmaster J. C. Manning ment and help in securing and holding federal positions. They are, in a sense, committed to and tied up to Democratic influences. They are in no position to wage an aggressive political campaign on the Democratic side of the issue. They strange from them their Democratic backing in getting federal appointments and reappointments. They know this. Any fool would see through this. There can be no Republican party in Alabama until the Democratic party in Alabama affair that has nothing else in view other than national delegate getting and federal jobs.

Force this issue to be turned into incoming administration and let the country see what will be done about it. That Colored School Fund. That Colored School Inc. It is known that least that may be said about it, to note the receipts and expenditures of the Alexander City colored school of district No. 10, Alexander City, Ala. for the scholastic year ending 1908. The census enumeration, ages 7 to 21, is for the capital is $2.49. The state fund appropriated from the enumeration of colored children is, therefore, $776.88. The matriculation fees charged and collected from colored children is $120.00. The total of state fund and of the matriculation is $894.88. Of the total, $120.00, the Alexander City colored school one teacher is employed at $35.00 per month, for nine months, which totals $151.00. There is $10.00 appropriated for fuel. The entire sum as expended is $235.00. Deduct from $894.88, which is the total amount expended from the state and the matriculation fees, the sum of $255.00, which is the total amount expended on the Alexander City colored school, and there is found to remain a balance of $571.88. This sum of $571.88 is appropriated for the purpose fixed by the law for its appropriation. Is it misappropriated? Olean, N. Y., Items.

A HOUSE EMPLOYE FRIGHTENS GIRL CLERK A HOUSE EMPLOYE FRIGHTENS GIRL CLERK Franklin of St. Louis County Is Temporarily Suspended Pending Inquiry. Jefferson City, Mo.—Violence was threatened on the 4th against a Negro named Franklin, a house employee from St. Louis county, because of an impertinence offered a young woman stenographer (white) on the senate clerical force. Every effort was made to keep the matter quiet. Senate and house members were "deeply" incensed by the violence, and the senate suspended by Chief Clerk Goshorn, at the instance of the committee on clerical force. Representative Hart of that committee, says he must satisfactorily exculpate himself or be discharged. The victim of his addresses was "much frightened" and was "in a highly nervous state" when Lieut. Gov. Gmelich questioned her concerning the matter. There were threats that Franklin had been killed, but she interfered the consequences, but wiser counsel has prevailed against violence. Terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE! Nothing has been said about the worse than "imprintinence, addresses," etc. that have been offered the colored young ladies of this city by not being discharged. The clerical force of the state assembly, but also by certain members. FORAKER'S MORAL VICTORY Senator Foraker has won so much of a moral victory in the Brownsville case that congratulations are due him on account of the long and splendidly courageous fight he has made, whatever may now be the fate of the compromise bill in the senate. He has been a strong campaign for justice was his terrific and crushing exposure of the fraudulent work of the private detectives employed by the government to extort confessions from the black soldiers. At that point, the president was put entirely to rout, and the final conviction was a result. The southern Democrats, who oppose the enlistment of any Negroes whatever in the United States army, may be able to prevent the enactment of the compromise measure for the relief of the inmates, but the senator from Ohio will retire from the senate with the confidence that, so far as his own party can recognize the essential justice of his position, in so far as that could now be done without violation of the president's constitutional right to command the army. Mr. Foraker's motives throughout this affair have been of the best, while it is superbly withstood the bitter vindictiveness with which Mr. Roosevelt has regarded him—Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

ANTI-JEWISH DISCRIMINATION! The Union of American Hebrew Congregations, In Convention Assembled at Philadelphia, Speak Out in Protest—Some As- New York City. The following, a leading editorial in a recent issue of the New York Tribune, is self-explanatory and surprisingly interesting: It is much to be regretted that there was or that there seemed to be occasion for the Union of American Hebrew Congregations at Philadelphia the other day to discuss the subject of equal protection of American citizens regardless of creed or race, and to adopt resolutions protesting against the course of some foreign governments relating to honor an aspasses when issued to Jews. The subject has long been to troublesome one and a cause of much controversy between our government and others, particularly Russia and Roumania. The policy of our government has, of course, never been uncertain, and is expressed by Secretary Hay nearly seven years when he said, referring to anti-Jewish discrimination: "This government can lose no opportunity to controvert such a distinction, wherever it may appear. It can admit no such discrimination among its own citizens, and can never assent that a foreign state, or a religious test to debar any American citizen from the favor due to all." That declaration of policy, it is interesting to observe, was addressed to the American minister to Roumania, and through him to the government of that kingdom. Our controversies on the subject have chiefly been with Russia, and it is against the discrimination which is said still to be practised by that power that the protest to which we have referred is particularly directed. Russia has indeed carried her anti-Jewish discrimination so far as to cause her consuls to exercise it on American soil by refusing, here by the United States to it, itsports issued by the United States to it, the Jewish faith, and by refusing authentication to legal documents for use in Russia in which Jews are interested. The academic reply of the Russian government, that while it does IN UNION THE ESTATE WE thus discriminate against Jews alone it does not do so because they are Jews, since "the broadest spirit of toleration for all cults forms the very basis of Russian laws," has never been regarded as convincing, and Russia is still looked upon as the chief offender against the principle of equal treaty rights for all Americans. It is, nevertheless, of importance to remember that it is by no means anti-Jewish discrimination, and that, strangely enough, that abhorrent practice is manifested by some of the very countries in which logically it should be least expected. We have already referred to Roumania. That country, while it was yet merely Moldavia and Wallachia, suffered much from Turkish oppression on grounds of race and creed, an experience which should give it sympathy with the Jewish people, and which valued its independence; it has exercised the most arbitrary injustice toward its Jewish subjects. Finland, too, nobly struggling against Russian aggressions and designs upon her autonomy, is reported to be treating Jews with harshness and driving them into exile. It has long been observed that racial and religious animosities and prejudices are the hardest of all to overcome, and it may be many years later that eliminated from the laws and customs of all nations. But the United States, at least, will not cease to insist that its citizens, no matter what their creed or race, shall enjoy the equal protection of its laws and of its treaties.

The whites intend to rule in local affairs, and the zealous championship of the Negroes of the north might keep the old fires of sectionalism alive. The Atlanta Constitution makes this evident when it says: At home we will continue to control the alarms and, by the white primary system, eliminate from interference all the Negro vote that may survive disfranchisement."

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. Our Alexander City, Ala., letter elsewhere in this paper will repay you many times for a careful reading. Just how much the north has retrograded in recent years, as far as our people are concerned, can be pretty fairly estimated when one remembers the fact that our people of Springfield, Ill., are to be denied the privilege of participating in the exercises to be held in that city this week Friday, celebrating the centenary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. This course has been very generally followed in most cities of the country having Lincoln celebrations. That is a very nice and certainly a deserved tribute, the Springfield (Mass.) Republican pays Senator Foraker, republished elsewhere in this paper. We confess our agreeable surprise at seeing it republished in a local daily paper, the Plain Dealer (Dem.) That is more than either of the so-called Republican papers, dallies, have done to date. The Leader and News seem to hate the senator and "The Black Battalion" about as much as they love (?) "Jack" Johnson, champion heavy-weight puiglist of the world. While the intelligent Irish, Jews and Germans are working unceasingly to do away with the stage comedian-character which is supposed to represent their class or race, the Negro seems willing to go on accepting and even encouraging his like stage caricature. We have always maintained that the Williams and Walker kind of "shows" do the race infinitely more harm than good, and injure it vastly more than they (the "shows") benefit financially or otherwise those persons of color connected with such companies. Think it over, and see if we are not right. A SILLY PROTEST. Last week Wednesday the South Carolina legislature adopted, without debate, a resolution requesting that state's representatives in congress to do everything in their power to prevent the confirmation of Dr. W. Dr. Crum, reappointed collector of the port at Charleston. This on the ground that in the opinion of the house, "the appointment was an unwise proceeding, tending to cause racial friction" and that President Roosevelt, with rudiment intention, is "endeavoring to humiliate and ruin the honorable pride" of the best people of Charleston. If there was not a serious phase to this silly and unAmerican protest, it would be as ridiculous as it ought to be worthless. Dr. Crum is one of the best citizens of his state without reference to class, color or race. He has lived long years in Charleston and to some purpose, because he is not only a man of means but a gentleman of character, dignity and business-standing in his community. Furthermore, he has the respect of all who know him, including, strange to say, about all of the foolishly prejudiced individuals in and out of the South Carolina legislature, who opposed his appointment four years ago, and are doing so again. This protest is one of the many, very many indications of a lack of progress on the part of the "new" and the old south. SEEKING NOTORIETY. These are the days that delight the empty-headed "statesmen" or solar overrunning with the sap of race-prejudice. The anti-Japanese legislation of the far west has certainly stirred up the Negro-haters in various state assemblies as well as one or two in the congress. A member of the Missouri Democratic legislature, by the name of Duncan, last week introduced a resolution requiring the heads of departments in that state's house of representatives, except the door-keepers, "to discharge all Negroes in their employ at once." This was aimed, particularly, at a few members of the race who were employed in the clerk's room handing out bills. The aforementioned sap-headed member said in support of his resolution, that "the Negro is infinitely worse than the Japanese." Except about war times (in the minds of such prejudiced Americans), he might have added. At any rate this has been the case from the days of Crispus Attucks, through revolutionary wartimes, the war of 1812, that of the rebellion, and the Spanish-American war. To these might be added the troublesome times in the Philippines, and until recent years out west among the Indians. Duncan's resolution was laid to at least temporary if not permanent sleep by a vote of 61 to 52. It was however followed by another and even more directly insulting resolution, notifying our people that "their presence in the house THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1909. chamber at all public meetings is not wanted." From the fact that the Duncan resolution was shelved and in the absence of any definite information, we presume this last resolution was given similar treatment. Both should have been killed promptly. Afro-Americans, as cit as of Missouri and the country, have rights in all public places, including the house of representatives of the state of Missouri, that at least one of its members must be taught to respect, it seems. THE "BLACK SAMPSON." Senator Newlands of NEVADA (not Texas), in a long letter to the governor of his state anent the anti-Japanese legislation then pending in the Nevada legislature, "rings in" our phase of the "race question" as follows: "The United States should start immediately upon the serious consideration of a national policy regarding the people of the black race now within our boundaries, which, with a proper regard for humanity, will minimize the dangers to our institutions and our civilization. "History teaches that it is impossible to make a homogeneous people by the juxtaposition of races differing in color upon the same soil. Race tolerance, under such conditions, means race amalgamation, and that is undesirable. Race intolerance means, rather, race war and mutual destruction, and that one of the races to servitude, which is foreign to our institutions. "That the race question is now the most important question confronting the nation; that already we have drifted regarding the black race into a condition which seriously suggests the withdrawal of the political rights heretofore mistakenly granted, and the inauguration of a humane national policy which with the co-operation and the aid of the southern states has been made a race of children requiring guidance industrial training and the development of self-control and other measures intended to reduce the danger of the race complication formerly secessional, but now becoming national." The senator calls for broad national legislation covering the whole ground. He declares incidentally that the Negro question has become "a national one," and that it probably will be necessary to reduce the "black man" to absolute political servitude. Here is additional evidence of the progress prejudiced southern views is making here in the north, and still the "black Sampson" sleeps on, serenely and undisturbed. Disfranchisement until nearly one-half of our total vote, or about one million Afro-Americans have lost the ballot; "Jim Crow" cars for inter-state passengers, as well as others; mob violence galore, and an almost general denial of the rights in prison to whom we not awakened or irredent him to the least effort in his own behalf, in the courts or elsewhere. And we have four so-called national organizations! Slowly but surely is "the condition of servitude" being forced upon the race, and the "black Sampson" sleeps on while a few Negroes try in vain to awaken him and others preach the "doctrine of surrender." Will Senator Newlands' diatribe awaken him? It ought to, the Lord knows. Woman Prisoner Confesses Warren, O.—A full confession of an attempt to poison Mrs. Ida J. Maynard by administering arsenic in milk has been made by Mrs. Abbie Cross, Jamestown, N. Y., arrested here on a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Maynard.

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. Blodgett, 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 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 may develop can wipe out the rejection of 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 the people, to look to the Union men, their children, or their children's children, to 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 inveterate prejudice against Reason, have thought it the part of wisdom to act and vote with the Democratic party. problems are here to 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 hesitation, no fight the finish. For years I have hammered 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-longeral office-holders," that I might be able to recruit and nurture myself, to use the data 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 administration should open a new era of cooperation, and 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 to work with you, and to raise 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 be fore the senate committees. Very respectfully, T. M. BLODGETT, Chairman Republican State League of Georgia. RACE SUPERLATIVES. If one totally unacquainted with our race were to rely upon what he reads in some of our race papers for his information concerning us, he would be justified in concluding that those Afro-Americans whose names figure most in the public eye constitute a class with little, if anything, in common with the rest of us. They would appear to have reached such heights of excellence that they stand quite apart from the rest of the race, and have taken high rank among the great of all races. Every reference to them in many race papers places them in the front rank of all mankind in their respective lines of work. It seems quite below the general estimate of many of our race papers to speak of a well-trained, capable physician or surgeon, a successful and respectable lawyer, a devout and intelligent minister of the Gospel, an efficient school teacher or a capable employee in the civil service. While we have many hundreds of each one of these classes, only a few disport themselves and get disported in the limelight; and when they do some of our papers at once transform our capable physician into a "Renowned Surgeon"; our lawyer who is making a respectable living at his profession is served up as an "Eminent Jurist Fitted to Wear the Eminent Any Court in the Land;" our plain minister of the Gospel becomes a "Distinguished Prelate" or "Grand Vicar," or something of that sort; the teacher is nothing short of a "Distinguished Educator and Philosopher." Even our government clerks, of high and low degree, who have been promoted through efficient service, or otherwise, are written up as "National Characters." These characterizations have all appeared repeatedly and recently in many of our race papers—leading and following—and all tend to show a race weakness for notoriety and parade which at once discredits our judgment in the eyes of our neighbors and exposes our cultural deficiency. The one standard of excellence in this country is that set by those whose opportunities, environments, achievements and possessions—mental, moral and material—entitle them to set it. In fine, it is the so-called Anglo-Saxon standard. Measured by that our so-called great (we have no near great, according to many of our race papers—they are all "great," with a big G) would in far too many instances far behind. And when such race papers persist in presenting us in such a ludicrous light, we cannot escape the ridicule that follows. It goes without saying, that we should be justly proud of 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 rollcall of our so-called "great." To banquet somebody, in more or less state and elat, 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 to the reading world as the embodiment of all the excellences in our 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, and policy, was entirely respectable in the personnel of its hosts. But 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 of whom has shown any evidence of anything more than mediocre 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, they were served up by our enterprise reporter as men of "national character." While there were several Afro-American lawyers in Washington whose professional standing is quite as high, and whose private practice yields them individually twice as much as those陌陌者 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 helpful, 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, the mention was also made of a Washington real estate broker and note-shaper. 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 process of real talent by his work, and actually demonstrated high class ability; to load him with such extravagant epithets, however, is neither fair to make them great in the eyes of each other, although we live in an environment that obliges us to measure up to 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 The Lesson: Cannot those of us who try to think sanely 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? "I observe that among some prominent members of congress there is a disposition to charge me when a tempt 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, the war that has succeeded in winning me."—President-elect Tatt, in a speech at Atlanta, Ga., January 15, 1909. in reading matter that your money can buy is your local paper.

The elder, like all other thoughtful members of the race is very much concerned as a leader of the community, interest upon the part of our people, in matters of serious import being discussed in the public press to our great disadvantage by more or less prominent members of other races. Like his associate in the church work, Dr. Glimere, he is outspoken in his views. He is a strong advocate along line-routes of the The Gazette and its splendid success in the past. Elder Bundy is contemplating the urging of an important and aggressive movement for race defense along a citizen-rights line which should be encouraged by our people generally. Owing to an error in the petitions, filed in Justice Ginley's court recently, the civil rights cases of Messrs. Walter and James, he is accused of alleged discrimination at the Forest street roller rink on a recent Tuesday evening, they were dismissed last Friday. On Monday Mr. Brown, after correcting the error in his petition, reinstituted his suit and the case was for trial next Tuesday morning in the courtroom of the county jail. We understand that George T. Smith will reinstate his case against the roller rink at a later date. This shows the proper spirit.

Two of its closing incidents were an attack on a girl on the public street by two white men and the discovery that a woman who claimed she had been attacked by Negroes had invented the story to conceal from her husband the fact that she had just been arrested in a raid on a disorderly resort. When a community starts on a race war or a race crusade, the vicious of every race find themselves in the attention of criminals if the public and official mind can be concentrated on the idea of attacking a race—Buffalo (N.

At the time we got off the train at Wolseley, Sask, We had only a few dollars, not enough to start farming on our own account, 80 we were compelled to work out for a considerable time in oriler to make suflicient money to enable us to es- tablish ourselves. When we thought We had enough money to start with, I and my brother took up one quarter- section (160 acres) land each in the Loon Creek district, In 1900 we moved on our homesteads with one team of horses and one walking plow. While I was engaged with the work in the field, my brother bullt a shack and barn of logs, which we have hauled during the time we were not able to work in the field, We were certainly working very hard, but Iam glad to say that we made our fortune in this country. To-day we dovnot need to work s0 hard as we used to, as we have three men hired steady for ‘whom we pay $80.00 to $40.00 a month, ‘besides board and lodging during the summer time! I am also glad to tell you that today we are owners of a section and three-quarters of the best land, with first class buildings thereon, besides having all the necessary ma- chinery. We always do our own threshing, for we have a 22 horse- power threshing outa. “Our success in farming in this country also enabled us to get rid of a ‘number of horses of less value, and instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares, representing a value In the nelghbor- hood of $5,000. “Regarding raising grain, which 1s the main factor in our district, 1 am proud to say that we have always hhad good success. We have raised wheat as high as 35 bushels to the acre; and this year, although we suf- fered from lack of suMeient rain, our wheat went 27 bushels to the acre, and we had 900 acres in crop. We have broken this year about 100 acres new land, and by next year we will have about 1,110 acres in crop. For one carload of wheat which we have shipped a few weeks ago we got a price of 97 cents per bushel, and it graded as No. 2 Northern, although we have a quantity of wheat which will surely go as No. 1 Northern, During the six years wo have been farming for ourselves we have never had ono frost around here, so that we always had a good crop. “I, for myself, feel compelled to say that our Great West {s the land where a person who is willing to work and trun his hands to anything, can make fa fortune, and a comfortable living.
