TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 34. Waist Models THE model at the left is of silk, trimmed with tucked bands, buttons and buttonholes of the same. The guimpe is of tucked tulle and lace insertion and the undersleeves are of the tulle tucked lengthwise. TIMELY CHAT ABOUT CORSETS. Highly Expensive Article Not Always the Best Proposition. The sales of thin things are bewildering. Bargains such as we have never had are before we to-day, says a writer in a fashion magazine. I had just written an order to send off by mail when chance led me downtown and there I saw corsets at one dollar worth three and even five dollars. Did you know that the high round bust corset, low under the arms, was the correct thing? It is the most suitable for the tight-fitting basques—dare we call them that? The long hip, graceful curve to the outlines, not a distinct waist line, but the flowing curve of beauty, distinguishes the new corset. A feature of the high bust is that a gather string draws it round at the top, making a fine form shape. It has a straight front and fits to the perfection of comfort. So many have thought they could not exist or look trim without a $20 or even higher-priced fitted corset. In fact, I have known some to pay $50—a thing that my thrift would not permit, as good corsets a plenty can be had for $10 and less. However, as I was saying, many have quit the expensive made to order and have set about finding out what good shape will fit them in the ready-to-wear. Far better, they argue, a neat and clean corset once a month at two dollars more or less than a dear article which must last a year and be cleaned and cleaned again. Truly the corset sales are a temptation. The materials are very pretty, silk and satin, with shot spots in white or in the pale colors. Tiny rosebuds, daisies or fancy figures in brocade are both dainty and charming, and all on the bargain counters. Sleeve News New sleeves are made of lace dye to match the gown trimmed with insertions of tucked batiste, which has also been dyeed—to match. One odd sleeve of linen has been cut out and embroidered until only a cobweb of the linen is left over the arm, showing underneath a plain-fitted sleeve of chiffon, edgeed at the bottom with a plaited chiffon frill. Another sleeve is made of bands of thin cloth stitched fully on to a plain sleeve of chiffon—that band, of course running crosswise the arm. Another sleeve is made of batiste showing the tiniest of crosswise tucks. It opens up the outside of the arm, the edges being cut in scalps, buttonholed—that is, embroidered on the edge, and buttoned together. Flower Chains on Her Ball Gown. One of the daintiest evening gowns seen this winter was on a belle at the New York charity ball. It was of deep yellow satin covered with fine French lace. At intervals on the lace were motifs in silver lace, outlined in silks of many shades, blue, green, lavender, deep red, orange and yellow. The shading was done finely and the colors seemed to blend. A band of spring flowers, like the daisy chains little girls love to put on their straw hats, outlined the edge of the bodice, and similar flowers formed a chaplet. Colored Embroidery on Towels. There is a strong revival of colored embroidery on linen towelug. Dull blue, soft browns, pink and faded green initials are now seen in handsome towels. These letters are worked in the middle of the end of the towel, and can easily be done at home by even the beginner in embroidery. Oriental Print Hangings. Cotton prints in imitation of the real East Indian fabrics are now found in all department stores. These make very effective hangings. They are not expensive, they wash well and they give to an otherwise plain bedroom a warm and cheerful effect at very little cost. THE GAZETTE FOR HEALTH AND GOOD LOOKS. Correct Position in Standing and Sitting is Important. Good carriage not only means good looks but good health. The importance of standing, sitting and walking correctly cannot be overestimated and is entirely one of personal responsibility. Children should be trained into proper postures, but if early training has been neglected, then it behooves the slouchy and stoop-shouldered to get busy. It is not as hard as one would think to have a graceful carriage, though to read many of the requirements of the beauty doctors a fully equipped gymnasium and unlimited time would seem requisites. A few simple rules faithfully followed will quickly improve the most awkward bearing. To stand well remember to keep the chest high, knees straight, abdomen in and hips back and the feet inclined at an angle of about 90 degrees. With chest, knees and hips in their proper places the feet will generally look after themselves. To walk well and easily maintain the same position of chest, abdomen and knees and let the swing come from the hips. In climbing a hill or stairs keep the trunk straight and chest up, raise yourself from the flat of the foot and do not bend forward in mounting. To sit gracefully and comfortably, even without supporting the back, select a chair that fits; one that will enable you to sit with the lower part of the spine against the back of the chair and the feet on the floor. In this position the chest cannot drop, nor does the back tire readily. EVENING BODICE FOR GIRL This dainty little bodice is in soft cream satin, to match the skirt. For the bodice part, the satin is simply draped over the shoulders, and brought to the center of back and front in soft folds. A chiffon tucker is inserted in front. The sleeves are slightly rucked, and finished at the elbow by narrow frills, and a ribbon taken round and tied in a bow at the side. Gold ball fringe edges the armholes, resting over the top of sleeve. Material required: 2 yards satin 42 inches wide, 1½ yard ball fringe, ½ yard chiffon, 2 yards ribbon. Presents for Baby. An acceptable present for a baby is the sets of silver safety pins that come on three rings died together with a ribbon. Each ring contains a dozen of the pins, and all the dozens differ in size. For the rubber blanket used on the crib there are silips the exact size made with small buttons and holes so that a fresh one may be put on with little trouble. These must bear the embroidered initials of the new arrival. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. WILL PLACATE THE SOUTH AND SACRIFICE THE NEGRO THERE. INDORSES DISFRANGHISEMENT Excuses Southern Nullification of the Last Three Amendments to the U. S. Constitution—No Appointments for Our People in the South—A Terrible "Back-Down." Washington, D. C.—The following is part of President Taft's inaugural address of most interest to our people; I look forward with hope to increasing the already good feeling between us across the country. My chief purpose is not to effect a change in the electoral vote of the southern states. That is a secondary consideration. What I look forward to is an increase in the tolerance of political views of all kinds and their advocacy through outreach to the public in respectable political opposition in every state; even more than this, to an increased feeling on the part of all the people in the south that this government is their government, and that its officers in their states are their officers. The consideration of this question cannot, however, be compounded if failure to respect the Negro race, its progress and its present condition. The 13th amendment secured them freedom; W. H. H. President Taft. the 14th amendment due process of law, protection of property and the pursuit of happiness; the 15th amendment attempted to secure the Negro against any deprivation of the privilege to vote, because he was a Negro. The 13th and 14th amendments have been generally enforced and have secured the objects for which the amendment in Wittenberg amendment has not been generally observed in the past, it ought to be observed, and the tendency of southern legislation to-day is toward the enactment of electoral qualifications which shall square with that amendment. Of course, the mere adoption of a constitutional law is only one option in the case of an amendment and justly enforced as well. In time both will come. Hence it is clear to all that the domination of an ignorant, irresponsible element can be prevented by constitutional laws which shall exclude from voting both Negroes and whites not having education or other qualifications thought to be necessary. The danger of the control of an ignorant electorate has therefore passed. With this change, the interest which many of the southern white citizens take in the welfare of the Negroes has increased. The colored men must base their hope on the rest of their own industry, self-restraint, then the aid and success of their sympathy which they may receive from the north. There was a time when the northerners who sympathized with the Negro in his necessary struggle for better conditions sought to give him the aid and success of sympathy to force its exercise against the prevailing sentiment of the south. The movement proved to be a failure. What remains is the 15th amendment to the constitution and the right to have statutes of states specifying qualifications for electors subjected to the test of compliance with that amendment. This is a great protector of the Negro in the lives of the people. If it had not been passed, it might be difficult now to adopt it; but with it in our fundamental law, the policy of southern legislation must and will tend to obey it, and so long as the statutes of the states meet the test of this amendment and are not otherwise in conflict with the United States, it is not the dispositions within the province of the federal government to interfere with the regulation by southern states of their domestic affairs. There is in the south a stronger feeling than ever among the intelligent, well-to-do and influential element in favor of the industrial education of the Negro and the ability to make themselves useful members of community. The progress which the Negro has made in the last 50 years from slavery, when its statistics are reviewed, is marvelous, and it furnishes every reason to hope that in the next 25 years a still greater improvement in his condition as a pro-merchant farmer in the farm and in the shop and in other occupations, may come. The Negroes are now Americans. Their ancestors came here years ago against their will, and this is their only country and their only flag. They have shown themselves anxious to live for it and to die for it. Encountering the race feeling against them, subjected at times to cruel injustice growing out of it, they may well have our profound sympathy and aid in the struggle they are making. We are charged with the sacred duty of making their suffering smooth and as we can. Any recognition of their distinguished men, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement and an appreciation of their progress, and this just policy shall be pursued. But it may well admit of doubt whether, in the case of any race, an appointment to local office in a community in which the race feeling is so widespread and acute as to interfere with the ease and facility with which the local government business can be done by the appointee, is of sufficient benefit by way of encouragement to the race to outweigh the recurrence and increase the feeling of the negro's point of attachment, is likely to engender. Therefore, the executive, in recognizing the Negro race by appointments, must exercise a careful discretion not thereby to do it more harm than not. On the other hand, we must be careful not to encourage the mere pretense of race feeling manufactured by the Negro's ambition. Personally, I have not the slightest race prejudice of feeling, and recognition of its existence only awakens in my heart a deeper sympathy for those who have to bear it or suffer from it, and I question the wisdom of a policy which is likely to do more to prevent, a better feeling between the Negroes and the whites in the south will continue to grow, and more and more of the white people will come to realize that the future of the south is to be much benefited by the industrial and intellectual progress of the Negro. The exercise of the race by the Negro race who are intelligent and well-to-do will be acquiesced in, and the right to vote will be withheld only from the ignorant and irresponsible of both races." COLOR-LINE IN JURIES! Bill Passed by the U. S. Senate so Amended and Passed by the House—What Congressmen Burton and Howland Say. Cleveland, O., Feb. 24, 1909. Von. T. E. Burton, M. C., Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: I notice in a Washington dispatch to local daily newspaper under the title "Cohy.aily" 1899, 1909, that the house of representatives on that date passed a bill, revising, amending and certifying the penal laws of the country; a somewhat similar measure had previously passed the senate. Both measures are in the hands of a committee on the senate, and the committee amended by a Mr. Bartlett of Georgia so as to allow a color line in juries by repealing the law in force which made it a crime for state officers to disqualify certain persons from serving on juries on account of race or color. It is hardly necessary for me to call your attention to the necessity of REJECTION of the Bartlett amendment by the committee on conference and if this is impossible, the necessity of securing the same result when the conference committee's report is being acted upon in the senate. It does not seem possible that the Republican congress could accept, to say nothing of adoption, any such bill as amended by Mr. Bartlett of Georgia. Whither we are drifting? Yours respectfully, HARRY C. SMITH. Committee on Rivers and Harbors House of Representative. Washington, D. C. Hon.arry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette. Cleveland, O. My Dear Sir: I have your note of the 24th. The provision which you mention is really new to me, namely, that the color line can be established in the selection of juries. Of course, this winter I have been able to pay very little attention to general legislation. My absorption with river and land work has been such that I could not carefully follow general legislation. Yours very respectfully, T. E. BURTON. Washington, D. C., March 3, 1909 My Dear Mr. Smith: I have not yet had time to give very careful attention to the provision in the revised code, of which you wrote. It is not at all probable that this code will be adopted at this session, and as soon as I am free from the present rush I shall give the whole subject careful attention. Yours very respectfully, T. E. BURTON. House of Representatives, U. S. Committee on Public Lands, Washington, D. C. Feb. 27, 1909. My Dear Mr. Smith: I have noted what you say with reference to the Bartlett amendment to the penal code and I do not know what the conferences will do with it, but am of the opinion that it will never become a law. With very kind regards, I am, Respectfully, PAUL HOWLAND. "The Old Reliable, the Best." Louisville, Ky., Mar. 7, 1909. Editor Gazette, Dear Str.; publishes and one dollar a month subscription for your valuable paper. It is undoubtedly the greatest race advocate published by members of the race. I hope that I will be able to get a great number of subscribers here in a short while. I'll put forth my best efforts to that end, anyhow. I am, George Walker In a Sanitarium. New York City—George Walker, the playing partner of Bert Williams, of the world-famous Williams & Walker troupe, arrived from Dayton, O. recently under the care of his partner and manager, Jack Shoemaker (white), and was placed in a private sanitarium by Walker in Dayton, noticed by Shoemaker, and after conducted, the latter was advised that Walker needed a long rest and freedom from mental care. SKINS "TEDDY" ARTISTICALLY! "O LORD, LETTEST THOU THY SERVANT DEPART IN PEACE." FORAKER'S LATEST SPEECH More Than 5,000 In the Great Audience and Over 3,000 Turned Away From the Church—Brownsville Victory—The Loving Cup Reception Grand Success. Washington, D. C.—As a token of the esteem of District of Columbia members of the race, for Joseph Benson Foraker, the retiring Ohio senator, because of his heroic, noble and self-sacrifice work in behalf of "The Black Battallion," a public reception was held at Metropolitan church last week Friday night and a silver loving cup presented to the distinguished Ohio. It was purchased by subscriptions secreted our local population. The greeting to Senator Foraker, the guest of honor, was most enthusiastic indeed. The great auditorium of the church was packed. Fully 3,000 belated arrivals were unable to gain entrance because of a police order that the doors be closed. Every mention of the senator's name was greeted with cousins cheers that they would break from the audience. The presentation address was delivered on the part of the subscribers to the cup by Attorney Armond W. Scott of this city. The Presentation Speech. It aroused exceptional enthusiasm, and was later in the evening complimented by the great Ohio statesman, Mr. Scott said in part: "We honor tonight a man who has never raised a hostile hand or voice against an oppressed people, but who has wept when he has seen the hand of God, and has heavily upon us, and who has fought valiantly for us in our every hour of need, and a man, my friends, whose idea of the Christian religion has not caused him to take issue with or exception to that portion of the Holy Scripture which tells us, "That of one flesh and blood, God created all nations to dwell upon the face of the earth," and to count ourselves fortunate, indeed, to be privileged to assemble here tonight for this presentation. So, honored sir, it is but fitting for these grateful representatives of the race for whom you have fought so long and so valiantly to present to you on this occasion this slight token of their appreciation of your services, which has been granted by the crucial hour. We feel that in the fight you have made you were not only moved by your abiding conviction of the innocence of these men, but that you felt that you were fighting for a race which has never given birth to a son who has ever taken up arms against his country. And the entire world was looking down upon you and that you were able 14th day of April, 1908, you dared to stand upon the floor of the United States senate and defend us." The Senator's Response. Senator Foraker, responding, paid his respects to the Roosevelt administration just ended, criticising the unjust prosecution on the part of the national government of 167 soldiers without the right of being heard in their behalf. Reviewing in detail the Browniesville matter, so far as it related to congress and the hearings before the military committee, Sena- P. H. tor Foraker expressed satisfaction over the success of his bill to permit of the reinstatement of the discharged "without honor" soldiers. He declared he was firmly convinced the men would be given every opportunity to clear themselves of the accusations under which they had suffered for "the matter." His attention was first called to the matter," said Mr. Foraker, "by reading in the daily press the executive order issued by President Roosevelt discharging these men without the semblance of a trial, and upon the so-called charge of a 'conspiracy of silence.' It first astounded me. It seemed to me to be almost an impossibility. Soon, however, I was convinced of the time and the full realization of the possiblequences and high-handedness of the act came to me with full force. Every feeling of justice and right in me was aroused. Every soldierly instinct in me came to the front. I resolved then and there to take up the cause and see that justice was finally done them. I did it. I say honestly and truthfully, with no thought of what it might mean to me politically or otherwise my interests were subservient to what I termed my duty. I proceeded to do what I deemed was right and just. FRESH NEWS CHRONICI Warned Against Consequences. "It was at a high school commencement that I made an address upon the Brownville subject, in which I expressed my determination to fight for a hearing for these men and at least afford them an opportunity to give me the warning came to me that if I pursued such a course I would be 'eliminated'—that was the word used—politically. Well, I have been. I have suffered and been punished for my shortcomings, and for performing what I deemed my duty. Now that it is all over I can tell you, my friends, that I am supposed to use the excuse that I did not calculate nor care who it struck nor whom it embarrassed—it has embarrassed some, there's no doubt about that. I am out of the senate. The only regret that I have in leaving it is that I may not officially have more opportunities to do what I believe right and just. Every act in my judgment has been prompted in my judgment. I am telling me nothing is right I do it, and the consequences are only with my Maker. If my judgment is not deemed of the best, or fails to suit those people whom I have served in my state, they have the right to select another man to serve me. I will spend my remaining days in private life or shall hold office again, this judgment will always guide me in my duty." Senator Foraker referred at length to the testimony of the Brownville soldiers before the military committee, and referred to their bearing and stories of the trouble. "It was the plain, honest truth they were telling, these men," he declared. "Their every action could not help but impress me. I have a hard time sincerity. As a result of that hearing and seeing those men under the most adverse conditions, I am firmly convinced of the innocence of every one of them. Proved Administration Wrong. "And now coming to the testimony of those detectives hired by the government—and they were paid $15,000 out of the United States treasury for the work—I denounce it as absolutely false, not to use the stronger and more powerful force, but it false, because I proved it to be false. It was this, in my opinion, more than anything else, which aided so materially the passage of the Brownville bill by congress. And when finally I saw in the newspapers that the president signed the bill, it was with the keenest satisfaction I permitted Biblical phrase to pass the president. I did not listest "The servant depart in peace." The then president is now at Oyster Bay, I trust the sun shines as brightly for him as it does for me, for when one man is happy the world may be content. But when two men are happy it is that much more so. And now, in conclusion, I want to thank you, my friends, for this cup. I shall always cherish it with the kindest memories of your life. I will remember it and guard it in my home out in Ohio as one of my most treasured possessions." As Senator Foraker ended his speech the audience rose and wildly cheered him for several minutes. As the enthusiasm died down he was the fifth in line to reapportion. As in the vast audience who could do so, availed themselves of the opportunity to shake hands with him. The Program. The following is the program observed during the evening: Chorus, Metropolitan A. M. E. church choir; prayer, Rev. J. M. Welch pastor Metropolitan A. Baughman introductory remarks, J. W. Cromwell, Chorus, Amphion H. Grimke; solo, Miss Georgia A. Fields; chorus, Metropolitan A. M. E. church choir; presentation address, Armond W. Scott; reply, Mr. Joseph Benson Foraker; presentation address, Armond W. Denion; Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D. The personnel of the committee having the affair in charge is: John W. Cromwell, chairman; Willis B. Mitchell, vice chairman; Samuel E. Lacy secretary; Daniel Murray, treasurer; Frank B. Chen, Thomas T. Ferguson, Louis G. Byron, Thomas A. Johnson, Napoleon B. Marshall, F. H. M. Murray, James L. Nell, J. T. C. Newsm, Charles J. Pickell, Oliver Randolph, Armond W. Scott, Joseph H. Stewart. A Southerner to be Chief Justice. Luke E. Wright, ex-secretary of war, returned to his home in Memphis, Tenn. He will not resume the practice of law, as announced. He will restitute early in the summer. Then he will be appointed a chief justice of the United States supreme court. Chief Justice Fuller is to retire. Gen. Wright is a Roman Catholic. His appearance on the supreme bench will make two members belonging to that faith, President McKinley having appointed Justice McKenna from California. When he dons his robes, two Coats of arms are securely to the constitutional provisions pertaining to the sovereignty of states will occupy two of the most exalted positions within the gift of the American people. The other is Justice E. D. White. Gen. Wright was governor general of the Philippines and his transfer was due to his southern influence. He made it impossible for him to treat the Filipinos as equals socially, even in their own country. Foraker Killed a Bad Bill Foraker Killed a Bad Bill. Senator Foraker fought in the senate the floor at the last. Senator Milton of florida tried to get the judiciary committee of the senate, of which Senator Foraker was a member, discharged from consideration of his bill making it a crime for white and colored persons to interfere with this bill. This was March 1. He made his speech, then Senator Foraker moved to lay this motion, which was intended to get the bill out of the committee and before the senate, on the table. It carried. So this insulting bill died by Foraker's hand. Senator Continued on Second Page. IN UNION HER 5518TH MARTH LETTERS FROM MANY OHIO CITIES AND TOWNS SENT BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.

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. Nothing is too good for our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, and he appreciates the fact. Dr. Lonnie Robson of Charleston, S. C., is a wiser, if sadder man. Like many other prejudiced southerners, he needed "to learn the lesson." Judge Ruffin of Boston and Judge Mathews of Albany, preceded Judge Terrell, who is not "the first Negro to wear the ermine." The editor of the Baltimore Afro-American and others will please not the fact. Senator T. E. Burton and Congressman Paul Howland of Ohio, have an opportunity, indicated in their letters elsewhere in this paper, to render the race lasting service. The matter is of exceeding importance to us; possibly more than they realize. The Gazette extends Dr. and Mrs. John Dickerson of Hamilton, its heart-felt sympathy in the loss of their talented daughter, Dr. Jessie C. Dickerson. She was not only a credit and honor to them, but also to the race. A most promising and even brilliant future has been lost to our people. Isn't Senator W. O. Bradley, the man who when a Republican candidate for governor of Kentucky, some years ago, made the statement that if elected he would veto a civil rights' bill if one was passed by the legislature of that state? Our recollection is, that he is the man. How about Mr. Blue Grass Bugle editor? F. E. Cramer, a candidate for mayor of East St. Louis, III., with honed words to our people of that city, publicly indorses a color line as regards nurses and physicians in hospitals, and therefore ought to be defeated. Let our manly voters of that community do their duty. Better an open enemy as mayor than one of Cramer's kind, because these latter harm most. Closer sympathy with prejudiced southern sentiment and feeling against the Afro-American, encouragement of disfranchisement laws in the south, and the elimination of the southern Afro-American federal-office holder, are what President Taft urged particularly in the part of his inaugural address of direct interest to our people and republicated in full in The Gazette to-day. Read it carefully and thoughtfully, and do not be misled by the "soft-soap" it contains. We might just as well realize certain facts now as later on when the "blows" come thicker and faster. Dr. W. D. Crum's resignation, in the face of his recent reappointment by President Roosevelt, is a leader for the sensible, thoughtful and manly Afro-American. J. C. Naiper, son-in-law of Hon. John M. Langston, deceased, a prominent Nashville, Tenn., Afro-American, when calling at the White House last week, doubtless in quest of a federal job, said: "President Taft will be a good friend to the Negro." When, please God? He was not prior to, or during the Brownsville contest, and is not now according to his Greensboro, N. C., Lexington, Ky., Tuskegee, Ala., New York City, Atlanta and Augusta, Ga., and all other speeches delivered in the last two years, including that at Washington, D. C., on the 4th of this month, when he was inaugurated. What is the object and where is the wisdom in purposely misleading our people? Considering all that Mr. Taft has said and done, it is simply impossible for any sane Afro-American, who is above all loyal to his people, to say what Mr. Napier is quoted by newspapers as saying. Knowing him as we do, we don't believe he ever said any such thing. President Taft has clearly "turned his back" on the questions of manhood and citizen-rights, as far as the Negro is concerned, the espousal of which made the "grand old" Republican party great and strong, and the party of the people. VARDAMAN INDORSES TAFT'S SECRETARY OF WAR. In a recent interview with Roswell Bold of the Chicago Daily Examiner, President Taft's secretary of war, Judge Jacob M. Dickinson of Tennessee, who for years has at times been a temporary resident of Chicago, spoke in part, as follows: "I see, he broke in rather abrupt, "that I had to come to Chicago to have my Democracy questioned. There is at least one gentleman in this town—perhaps there are more who think that Mr. Taft's secretary of war is going to the principles of democracy. We might just as well take up this matter briefly. Here's a letter I received this morning. You will observe that it it is from Isham Harrison camp of Confederate Veterans of Columbus, Miss., a post of which I have the honor of being a member. "If you will read it you will observe that it is full of complimentary references to Mr. Taft for remembering the Democratic party by honoring me, and that I will congratulate me on my appointment. mark that there is not a single Republican in that camp. I was born in Columbus and this is my home camp." "You are a Confederate veteran?" "Well, I was a mere boy during the civil war, but I did enlist in the Confederate service and I did earn my right to fair to admit to my best belief northern families were plunged in mourning through my efforts. My record, if honorable, is not conspicuously gory." Then a little later: "I have received a congratulatory letter from ex. Gov. Vardaman as well, and I dare say his Democracy has never been disputed. I am of the impression that if I had been recruit to the party the last man who would have congratulated me would have been Vardaman. "Perhaps it is a little too early," he replied, with a smile, "to say exactly what I shall do or even exactly how I shall feel. But there is no doubt in my mind that Mr. Taft did not engage me for merely clerical work. A cabinet officer should be a man of initiative, of energy, of willingness to re-enforce, of hardness that might become oppressive. I am certainly not going down to Washington with the idea that I am either a clerk or a figurehead, and I expect to have duties enough to keep me busy for the time I am there." President Hayes, many years ago, picked a "rebel" for his cabinet, but President Taft has "gone him one better"—selected a "rebel" for his secretary of war, who in this day of intelligence and progress, publicly acknowledges himself a follower of ex-Governor Vardaman of Mississippi, a "man" who is classed only with such monstrosities as Tom Dixon and Ben Tillman, the worst villifiers in all the world of a defenseless and almost helpless class of American citizens who, unlike any of the persons named, have ever been loyal to the flag and the country. Secretary Dickinson refuses to be known as other than a Democrat. Indeed he seems to be as proud of his membership in that party as he appears to be ashamed of his connection with the Confederate or rather the rebel army in the war of the rebellion. The gentleman insists that he will be no more "figure-head" at Washington. And he has been indorsed by Vardaman! O. Lord, have mercy! The "Black Batalion's" troubles apparently have not ended, by a good deal. President Taft certainly knew what he was doing when he selected "Jake" Dickinson for his secretary of war. Republicans generally and old soldiers in particular who worked so hard to elect President Taft will hardly enthuse much, to say the least, over this appointment. THE SENATOR'S LOVING CUP. A Grand Gift—Robson Given a Much Needed Book—Prefers Filling Bags Washington, D. C.—In appreciation of his grand efforts in behalf of "The Black Battalion," our people of this city presented to Senator Foraker on last week Friday a massive solid silver loving cup. The cup stands nearly two feet high, and rests on a massive ebony base, the nearly 100 letters Around the bowl are three handles and on each handle are the letters B. C. D., representing the names of the companies of the battalion. Around the base, in raised letters, are the words, "Twenty-fifth United States infantry." In the gold lining of the bowl is inscribed a quotation from a speech by Senator Foraker in the senate January 12, 1909, in behalf of the soldiers, in which he said: "They ask for no favors because they are Negroes, but only for justice because they are men." As the result of a dispute with a waiter Dr. Lonnie Robson of Charleston, S. C., who came here to attend the inauguration, will go home minus one eye and with the sight of the other seriously impaired. The trouble occurred last week Thursday in the Innsbah restaurant when the grossly insulted American struck Robson's eyeglasses and drove a piece of lens into his left eye. Robson was taken to a hospital and the injured eyeball was removed. The right eye also is in a serious condition. The MAN has not been arrested. William Dulaney, the Afro-American who shaved Mr. Roosevelt, and whom the latter gave a 930 clerk's navy, has been succeeded by Monica Lopez Lara, the young Filipino barber whom Mr. Taft brought from the island. Monico will not be put on the government pay roll, but will continue to get his pay from Mr. Taft. SKINS "TEDDY" ARTISTICALLY. (Continued from First Page.) Foraker also drew from Senator Money of Mississippi approval of Mr. Taft's declaration that the south should not be interfered with by the north in the race problem. A great friend was Foraker. All honor to the colored men who stood by him! The Johnson Lynching Case. Argument was begun recently in the United States supreme court in the case of the government against Joseph F. Shipp of Chattanooga. Tenn. Shipp and his co-defendants were prosecuted by the government on the charge of showing contempt for the supreme court by permitting or participating in the lynching of an Afro-American prisoner who was held on a charge of criminal assault, after the supreme court had taken cognizance of his case.

Nat Willis got many laughs at Keith's Hippodrome last week when he told the following story: "A southern planter on his return from a European trip, was met at the railroad station by his family servant. station on his family servant. "Well, John," said the planner during the drive to his home, what hapened since I've been away? "Jes's can't learn 'nin', boss' replied the man, after slowly scratching his head, 'ceptin' de de荀's dead." "That's not very startling, though I'm sorry, of course. But he was getting quite old.

"You don't mean to tell me that my barn has burned down? How did it catch fire?" "Well, boss, boss? but we sort of spatits it ketched fire from de house when de house burned down." "Oh, that's a awful news! How in the world did the house catch fire?" "Why, boss, dat's a mystery—deed it is.

Dickerson, the beloved and talented daughter of Rev. and Mrs. John Dickerson, died at their home here on the 2d of pulmonary affection, aged 38 years, in declining health for a number of months and as the end became inevitable it accepted with true Christian fortitude ignation. The death of Dr. Dickerson removes a bright, useful and promising life and has filled many hearts with the deepest sorrow. She joined in Cleveland Dec. 15, 1879, was graced by the Vernon high school and the Cleveland Homeopathic Medical college, where she was the only Afro-American student in a class of 65. She practiced medicine in Cleveland for seven years and was practiced very successfully in Muskegon territory. For the past year her health was so impaired that she was compelled largely relinquish her professional work, and had lived quietly at home. Besides the bereaved parents, three brothers survive. The funeral was held in the house, 903 South Front street, near afternoon, Rev. W. H. Coleman of Dixon, former pastor of Payne church, this city, officiating. Interment in Greenwood cemetery. TAFT SLAMMED SHUT "THE DOC OF HOPE." Xenia, O.—As far as the Negro is concerned, Taft's southern policy is like rubbing salt on a sore. Before he had taken his seat he slammed the "door of hope" in the Negro's face. Dr. Crum's resignation and the promo when it is official are substantial victories for the south, blows for the Negro. As a result of this new insane Taft policy, a number of our mail carriers in Macon, Ga, have been dropped already. WHERE WILL IT END?-It was predicted that the old Presbyterian church, built in to no good slave money," would come to no good church it is now almost a complete failure as a Negro play house—Sixteen of our people have died here within the last 25 days.

HOPEFUL VIEW OF A GREAT WRITER THE COLOR QUESTION TO DISAF PEAR IN TWENTY YEARS. SAYS SIR HARRY JOHNSTON That there will be no color question in the United States in 20 years, and that the difficulties of the problem at present are aggravated by the ignorance and prejudices of the southern whites is the view of Sir Harry Johnston, an experienced British colonial administrator who has studied the black race body in Africa and on this continent. He believes in their capacity as civilized, educated and useful people, a white republic. The southern white people sufficiently considered these points, he thinks, and we read in his summary of his investigations in the London Times: "The Negro is destined to be nothing but a hewer of wood and a drawer of water" is the parrot-cry that each untraveled, ignorant white southern politician utters oratorically and in the press. Fortunately, there are many thousand sane, educated, white men and women in the south who know better. And all the time this stale nonsense is being repeated there are Negro doctors, electricians, botanists, agronomists, musicians, poets, preachers, teachers, lawyers, architects, masons, cabinet makers, mechanicians and chemists at work giving the lie to this worm-out expression." He points out, finally what he considers to be at the foundation of all the excused discussion of the Negro question, and he tells us in plain words: "It is the southern white man and woman who require a better education almost more than the Negro. The far-reaching, magnificently modern culture of the northern and northeastern states needs no praise from me; and I have no personal expertise of the west, putting aside the first flourish of the course, is present in individuals all over the south and intelligent. I must confess I was astonished at the childish ignorance, manifested both in the press and on the platform, which characterizes the southern and central states in all matters but those immediately concerning the borough or the plantation. And it is a self-aware and courageous response that the affairs of Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania are of no importance to the citizens of America. It is this narrow, eminently provincial intellect (often unhappy permeating state governments, federal congress, and senate) that causes all the trouble and exacerbation over the Negro question, as over any general, far-reaching proposition such as plans for the development of internal waterways and roads, or the intelligent conduct of state, federal and foreign relations. "When the south closes down all stale discussion of that indefensible civil war and matches the physical beauty and vigor of its white population with an equally high mental development, the Negro problem in the United States will be fully solved and kept in a state of solution—assuming, of course, that the Negro likewise continues to advance on the lines laid down by the white and colored teachers of Tuskegee and Hampton." The Times editorially comments on the remarks and says that President Roosevelt has taken the right course in dealing as a moral one. Thus we read: "The optimistic view taken by Sir Harry Johnston of the progress he has noted is significant when it comes from a man of his authority. The difference between the Negro in America and his brother in Africa may not be conspicuous; but it is, at any rate, that the Negro in Africa has not, we believe, been hitherto appreciated fully. This consideration, together with evidence that the gravest charges brought against the southern Negro are sometimes exaggerated and sometimes untrue, offers a basis for argument, and something of President Roosevelt as an expression of the best opinion in the United States, the American people are determined to treat their Negro fellow citizens not only according to the guidance of history, but also according to the light of conscience. The Negro problem cannot be ignored in political issue. Like every great political issue, it is also a moral issue." This writer has confirmed not only President Roosevelt's view, but that of every Englishman, declares the London Spectator, in which we find the following comment: "Sir Henry Johnston, who as administrator and scientific observer bainshares the American faith, tells us that the assumption by the southern states of America that the Negro is 'a hopeless proposition' is based on no just evidence of any kind, that it is in fact will prejudice, and that the effect of civilized surroundings on the American population is abrupt in the racial type. This type in America has higher moral and intellectual faculties than the original stock to be found in Africa, and these might easily be made higher still by human and reasonable treatment. This conclusion is of course, only in accordance with the fact that Englishmen, but it is a satisfaction to have them encouraged and confirmed by so competent a witness as Sir Henry Johnston.—Literary Digest, N. Y. City. We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Nelson's Hair Dressing in this issue.

We are as bad as other races we denounce as immoral and criminal. We possess more liquor than we Anglo-Saxons, for we are a drinking, quarrelling, rebellious race. "It is useless to fight the little retail liquor dealers. If we do not want whisky we ought to stop the distilleries." HIRSTIUS GUILTY SAY BOTH OF THEM CITY CLERK WITT AND DIRECTOR SPRINGBORN GIVE INSIDE INFORMATION. WHY STREET WAS NOT OPENED The Gazette Was Right in Its Contention, as Usual—Our Refusal to Support Hirstius and Others Fully Justified—Some Interesting Letters. For several weeks prior to the recent election we published the following: When you vote on election day in November do not forget to cross Gus Hirstus' name from your tweelfth ward. As councilman from the Twelfth ward, he not only continues to refuse to cut a street through from Central avenue to the University sheltar, Greenwood street, because a few prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to do so because colored people would come through the street from Cedar avenue and peer in their windows, but also withdrew an ordinance which he introduced in the council about a year ago (authorizing the proper city authority to request of the above mentioned prejudiced Cedar avenue residents. Last fall when he was re-elected to the council, Hirstus, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but up to to date has steadily refused to keep his promise. Remember him and scratch his name from the street in November. Hirstus is the Republican candidate for sheriff. Defeat him! The following is pertinent and self- explanatory and fully justifies our opposition to the election of Sheriff-elect them, the letters carefully and thoughtfully: Office of The Gazette. Cleveland, Nov. 19, 1998. Mr. Peter Witt, City Clerk.—Dear Sir: Just before election, Councilman Hirschius made a statement in a fellowing letter effect that he had passed an ordinance, resolution or something in the city council, providing for cutting a street through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between East Twenty-second and East Twenty-eighth streets, opposite Sked street, or in that vicinity, which he claimed, though passed by the council in July last (the work of cutting the street through) has been held up ever since by Director Springborn or someone else connected with the city government. How much, if any, truth is there in his claim? Last year or the year before the same individual introduced an ordinance, resolution or something in the council, providing for cutting a street through in the same vicinity. Will you tell me whether or not the resolution, ordinance or whatever it was, referred to, was ever passed by the council, and why the street was not cut through at that time? By complying with the above requests at your earliest opportunity, you will greatly oblige me. Yours truly, HARRY C. SMITH, Editor The Gazette. Nov 23 1908 Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette. Dear Sir: On July 9, 1906, resolution No. 5268 by Mr. Hirstus provided for the opening of East Twenty-fifth place to Cedar avenue. It passed the same month on the 24th day. The improvement was not made for the realization of the proposed avenue. His reasons for not wanting it, I have been informed, were and possibly are that the people in the immediate vicinity of the proposed opening did not want people of your race to come through. In a day of the present year there was a resolution introduced, and passed in June, looking for the making of a new street between Central and Cedar avenues about opposite Sked street. This improvement was never made for the reason that the money in possession of the city entering the avenues addresses for the opening of dead end streets and not the making of new streets. It is the custom of the administration to defer to the wishes of councilmen for ward improvements, and I feel sure that it is only reason the word "wish" was used. Third place was not made was because of race prejudice which Mr. Hirstius listened to. To would suggest that you call up Mr. Springbloom and get from him a confirmation of what I have given to you a rumor. Very truly yours. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette.—Dear Sir, Answering your request for the 24th inst., with reference to the enclosed letter from Mr. Witt, would say that the facts are as Mr. Witt states, and had Mr. Hirstius desired to have East twenty-fifth place opened through to Cedar avenue, it would have been done long ago. It would have been proposed to open this opening Mr. Hirstius invited me to meet with him a committee at the close of one of the council meetings. The committee represented the property owners and residents on Cedar avenue, where the improvement was intended to be made. They protested against its opening, and the result was to have it made, finally, and ASKED ME TO HAVE NO FURTHER STEPS TAKEN IN THE MATTER. It was not until recently that the case which we had started in court to condemn the property was dismissed. We have always made it a rule to be in action when the civilian representing the ward in which improvements of this kind are to be made. It therefore seems that MR HIRSTIUS ALONE IS TO BLAKE FOR NOT HAVING THE STREET OPENED. Yours very truly. W. J. SPRINGBORO Director Board of Public Service. Smcoth and Hard.

There was a man reading a newspaper on the car, and all the rest of the passengers seemed to be waiting to hear more about the Brownsville shooting-up affair when a man got up who looked a bit flurried, and after a moment he sat down beside the man with the paper and asked: "Sir, can you tell me about these holidays? I've got mixed up about them." "Why, yes," was the reply. "We start with New Year's, you know." "Yes, sir; I'm on to that." "Then comes Lincoln's Birthday, St. Valentine's Day and Washington's Birthday. Got that straight?" "I have." "Then we get out of February into March, and along comes St. Patrick's Birthday. Then we jump to Fourth of July, and—" "Hold on a minute, sir. St. Valentine's Day comes in February and St. Patrick's Day not until March, you say." "That's right." "That's right." "And who was St. Valentine?" "The God of Love, I believe." "And who put his birthday a month ahead of St. Patrick's?" "Why it just happens that way, I suppose." "Oh, it does? Well, you just tell the man that made it happen that way that he insulted St. Patrick, and that if he will stand before me, I'll knock the block off him in one round. That's all, sir. You can tell him that for me." BABY HORRIBLY BURNED By Boiling Grease—Skin All Came Off One Side of Face and Head— Thought Her Disfigured for Life. Used Cuticura: No Scar Left. "My baby was sitting, beside the fender and we were preparing the breakfast when the frying-pan full of boiling grease was upset and it went all over one side of her face and head. Some one wiped the scald with a towel, pulling the entire skin off. We took her to a doctor. He tended her a week and gave me some stuff to put on. But it all festered and I thought the baby was disfigured for life. I used about three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and it was wonderful how it healed. In about five weeks it was better and there wasn't a mark to tell where the scald had been. Her skin is just like velvet. Mrs. Hare, 1, Henry St., South Shields, Durham, England, March 22, 1908."

NASTY LITERATURE. ‘The March number of Phillip's magazine, “Te American,” contains a bit of versifieation of one Frank Kemp, “on hearing Negro girls sing,” which’ calls for some comment by critics of esthetic and ethic intelli gence. sthetically the verses are poorer then the average magazine poetry, which never has ranked above the medicere. The mere emotional view of an occurrence that prompts a reflection does not render the sub- fect a theme for poetry—and more or less good metre will not help. the “poet” out of this difficulty. It is, however, in this instance, the ethical conception against which the writer— a white man—wishes to render his protest. The first part of the “poem” paints slavery, so to speak, as an idyl, almost rendering it a pity, that this “pleasant” state was abolished: the second part insinuates that the Negro in his state of liberty, reverts to sav- agery, especially to ravishing of wom- an; the third, with a wishy-washy sentimentality that is sickening in its hypocrisy, after the untrue assertion fust made, which Judges a race by the crimes of some of its individuals, asks the white man to lend a hand in up- lifting the freed savage. Comment farther is not necessary. JACOB EGBEREH.

A lady, residing in the same hotel, became aware of his illness, and interested herself to the extent of one morning inquiring concerning his condition of the chambermaid. "Shure, 'am'm," replied Maggie, "on I think he do be getting along very well. The nurse was sittin' on his lap this morning'1." $100 Reward, $100. Hla Trouble.

It is expected to provide $350,000,000 additional revenue, despite these changes.

While the house is wrestling with the tariff bill, it is believed the senate may take up other important matters. The senate confirmed, without opposition, the cabinet appointments of President Taft.

Bishop, well-known in the theatrical circles as manager and owner of such old time stage successes as "The Black Crook," "What Happened to Jones," and "The County Fair," died in New York from injuries sustained when he was struck by an automobile.

He shivered in the unsheltered place for some hours pondering many things, and then a bright thought struck him just as the colonel came around on his tour of inspection. "Colonel," he asked, "how much is this wagon worth?" "I don't know," was the answer. "Much or little, we can't afford to lose it." "Well, but colonel," persisted the amateur soldier, "you might give me a rough idea of the value." "About £200," said the Colonel testily. "Very well," was the answer. "I will come down to the camp and give you a check for the amount. Then I'll turn in. I wouldn't catch my death of cold for twice that much." What the colonel said is not recorded.—Melbourne Times.

From the dome of the castle 101 salute shots were fired. The old grandfather and old Wrangel hopped into a cab and went to the schloss, and old Wrangel said: The boy is all right", and the father made a bow from the balcony, and it was awful cold. And when the boy was baptized his father held his watch in front of the little fellow's nose, and he grabbed it and never let go again, because he is a Hohenzollern." CONGENIAL WORK And Strength to Perform It. A person in good health is likely to have a genial disposition, ambition, and enjoy work.

"Until recently," writes a Washington girl, "I was a railroad stenographer, which means full work every day. "Like many other girls alone in a large city, I lived at a boarding house. For breakfast it was mug, greasy meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc. "After a few months of this diet I used to sleep sleepy and heavy in the mornings. My work seemed a terrible effort, and I thought the work was to blame—too arduous. "At home I had heard my father speak of a young fellow who went long distances in the cold on Grape-Nuts and cream and nothing more for breakfast. "I concluded if it would tide him over a morning's heavy work, it might help me, so on my way home one night I bought a package and next morning I had Grape-Nuts and milk for breakfast. "I stuck to Grape-Nuts, and in less than two weeks I noticed improvement. I can't just tell how well I felt, but I remember I used to walk the 12 blocks to business and knew how good it was simply to live. "As to my work—well, did you ever feel the delight of having congenial work and the strength to perform it? That's how I felt. I truly believe there's life and vigor in every grain of Grape-Nuts."
