Baltimore, Md.—After passing as a young man for eight years because it gave her better chances for advancement, Miss Maude Allen, alias "James man," was arrested April 29 for wearing Allen, a bright shirt. As a girl in her teens she passed at the head of her class in a boy's school, and as a young woman in our public schools. Miss Maude, or "James," is now 24, and first dressed man's attire when she was 16. She Her Statement. "On entering the Baltimore Colored high school the thought occurred to me that I might make a success in life as a man. I know that a woman of my race has not much chance, so I shaved my head and bought an entire outfit of men's clothing. We were then living in another part of town, so, with my grandmother, who was my mother, I moved to the house in which we now live. I got through the school in three years, graduating at the head of my class. I was appointed a teacher at the Brooklyn school and several months ago transferred to school No. 106 in this city. I see no reason why I should not be allowed to dress as I please. I am surely not different from the majority of members of any race. I should not be hampered." How She Kept Her Secret Never once was the sex of the young "man" who daily sat in the desk in a public room. She was an active worker in Ebenezer Baptist church and taught a Sunday school class. This was the only chance for her to mix with men, as she kept completely aloof from the people of the neighborhood in which she lived, going to her home immediately after school and remaining in the company of her grandmother. When seen at her home April 29 she was dressed in a white suit and a stature, she would easily be mistaken for a youth of 20. She also possessed a rather heavy bearer. How It Was Discovered. A short time ago the young lady was taken ill and entered the Maryland General hospital, where it was discovered that she was not a man. The police went to the hospital and found that she was fine and costs and was given 24 hours in which to change to feminine apparel.

Desertion of One of the Cardinal Principles of the Republican Party—Cowards! In the war amendments to the constitution the Republican party set forth the reasons for its continued existence after Appomattox. These articles gave the Negro freedom and citizenship, and they specifically safeguarded him against discrimination. Political pain and penalties were deferred, and the Negro regarded these principles. Several Republican presidential campaigns were fought on this issue, and some of the most conspicuous of Republican chieftains made no stronger claim to popular favor. National policy has found expression with much regularity in the party platforms. In Ohio, Mr. Taft's own state, the Republicans have repeatedly demanded the enforcement of the fourteenth amendment, providing for a reduction of representatives in congress and in the electoral college, which he had disfranchised the Negro. The Republican platform of last year, on which Mr. Taft was elected, "declared once more without reservation for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments," and condemned "all devices that have for their real purpose dismishment for the enforcement of unfair, American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." In furtherance of a southern policy of his own, which is in conflict with that of his party, Mr. Taft now openly accepts the southern disfranchisement laws and announces that he will appoint no Negroes to office against the wishes of the whites. No Democrat of whom we have knowledge could accept the orthodox Republicanism of the past. Unless we are to believe that machine Republicanism, wholly abandoning principles and ethics, has devoted itself to the spoils of office, how are we to explain the fact that no protest has yet been made to this course by any notable Republican leader or by any conspicuous Republican newspaper? The power of the President is great in any case, but when polling and newspapers are servile it is magnified by the unregulating party policy, his back upon the most vital party traditions and practically justifying the nullification of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments with no protest from any Republicans, Mr. Taft reveals independence on his own part and submissiveness on the part of his political associates. Admiring the President's spirit, the world Democratically disagrees with the establishment of the new color line and even the distinguished exponent of the virtual nullification to approve of the virtual nullification of the fifteenth amendment. Good as the President's intentions no doubt are, it is hardly possible that the course which he has mapped out for himself is to be a finality in American politics.—N. Y. Daily World. THE SOUTHERN OLIGARCHY How about the oligarchy that was really formed in the Southern states, that was feared by as pure a patriot, as noble a man, as wise a statesman, and as learned a person as Senator Charles Summer—the "oligarchy of the Southern American" for dates and educated politicians, uphold by an ignorant and bigoted electorate, a minority, as brutal and stupid as it is ignorant of the first principles of a republican form of state? For information let our blind leaders of the blind consult the "Southern American" for dates and educated terms! In its issue of the 29th ult. the Inter Ocean, the "only Republican newspaper of Chicago" (as Republican newspapers go in that city), remarks in a little editorial note that is precious: "President Tark in an address before a New York City lawmaker is breaking. It must break or be broken!" Just so, Mr. Republican Editor & Co.! Just so. It will be, "must be broken." But how? By what means? By all means, even dishonorable ones, or by consistency against might Justice against injustice? Which means, shall it be? Only by adopting this right policy will the victory be assured to humanity and will justice prevail. Then, and then only, will come the end of the unsatisfactory conditions in which millions of American citizens, blacks and white are doomed to live by an unjust system of oppression and of stupidity and cowardice of the "masses" (not only Southernners!)! In the military part of our history this is stated by General Sherman tersely in a letter from Savannah, December 25 (Christmas day!) 1864. Here are words, "that had a meaning" then have one now—in the social sense of the word "our day." They no longer call my army, 'Cowardly Yanks!" * * The next step in the progress will be: "For God's sake spare us; we must surrender! When that end is reached we begin to see daylight!" The Republican party is respectfully invited to ponder over this view of serious questions by perseverance along the way. I beg to suggest for those timid souls who fear "that some one may be hurt," does not imply cruelty, oligarchy or injustice of any kind. Olean, N. Y., Items. Mrs. Ida R. Barnes was buried from the A.

DO NOT BORROW OR SPONGE FROM YOUR NEIGHBOOR JEFFRIES AND JOHNSON The Former's Silly Glaim — Langfor Has Has — Danielle Vanity Ketschell — Local Notes. Springfield, O.—Never has a retired champion taken so untenable and absurd position as James J. Jeffries in the matter of the title. He formally announced his relinquishment of the title and declared he never again would enter the ring. Thereupon all the other heavyweights began a competition to see who was the best man in the bunch. After a long process of elimination, in which everybody exerted pressure, he proved himself to be the better man of the cluster and naturally he took the title. As he had a decision over Langford there is no question as to the validity of his title. Therefore when Jeffries, announcing that he will return to the ring and battle with Johnson, insists that he is now champion, places himself in a better position, and be unhappy to Johnson, but it shows conclusively that Jeffries is a dunderhead and knows nothing about the rules that relate to championships. Jeffries has no more right to the heavyweight of One-Eyed Cenconly, and it is a rare piece of impudence for the former champion to make the ridiculous claim. Sam Cenconly assured of a great reception in England, for over there they make much of the pugilists, and Langford is thought exceptionally well of, owing to the manner in which Ketchell (white) had dodged him. Langford is certainly a most skillful boxer and terrific hitter. Johnson says he will take Ketchell on first if he (Johnson) is not ready to fight him. Johnson assured of his proposed match to "Jim" Jeffries. He ought not, however, to fight Ketchell until Langford has a chance at (Ketchell). Johnson says he is eager to get the Jeffries match clinched and the date set—Mrs. Sam Cochran has been out of the city for a few days. Rev. William Balay was here Sunday.

MAJOR CHARLES R. DOUGLASS, Son of the Lamented Leader, the Hon. Frederick Douglass, Shows the Inconsistency of Color Prejudice. Washington, D. C.—Recently, Major Charles R. Douglass sent the following excellent letter to the editor of a local race paper: Sir:—In your last issue appears an article from the pen of Nannie H. Burroughs (Louisville, Ky.), arranging the editor of a Kentucky paper to write a location objection a school for the education of colored youth near any southern city, based solely upon color. In defining her position, she quotes Scripture to show that color ought not to be considered, and confesses that she cannot understand why color, instead of character, should weigh in adding "God" to color. She does not understand it, when He assures us that "out of one blood He created all nations," and then in the next breath she states: "We shall always honor Douglass, but we shall always regret that he made this serious blunder by marrying a white woman, seriously affecting his social status." No one else has anything more inconsistent and ridiculous than this? Her objection to Mr. Douglass' wife is based solely on color; no other objection is mentioned. While it is wholly out of place for this woman to be slurring the memory of Mr. Douglass and his wife, both of whom have passed from earth to earth, she is not in peace." it is still more unbecoming for women who themselves, by using anti-kink decoctions, powders and bleaching processes, trying to become as nearly white as it is possible to get, through the use of these poisonous chemicals, to be holding up to censure their race who sometimes prefer the pure article to the spurious kind. The marrying of any two human beings, of legal age, is nobody's business but their own; it is solely a domestic affair, and not the property of the public to meddle with. When Nannie gets ready to marry, she may marry a white, black, brown, yellow or red man, and it will be nobody's business if she is not good standing he will not lose social recognition by marrying her, as she says Douglass did by marrying a white woman. The standard of self-respect of the race is not being lowered by the men of the race, for they use none of the men made to destroy their race identity. PROTEST: JEFF. DAVIS' PICTURE. An Ohio Congressman Strenuously Objects to a Likeness of the Rebel Leader on a Set of Plate Presented to the Officers of the Battleship Mississippi. Washington, D. C.-An engraved portrait of Jeff Davis will not "embellish" the centerpiece of the silver dining service to be presented by the state of Mississippi to the battleship Mississippi. The lionsworth of Ohio can help it. He has prepared a resolution to introduce in the house demanding to know of the secretary of the navy who had accepted the silver service with the Jeff Davis portrait so prominently displayed. He will like to know if the officers of the battleship "Mississippi" approve of the design on the silver service. A. Maudlin Sentiment A Maudlin Sentiment. "I look upon it," said he, "as humil- lating upon four-fifths of the officers and men in board the vessel. It is the culmination of a long and recently developed and which seems to manifest itself in sentimental efforts to win the south by such acts as the restoration of the name of Davis on Cabin John bridge at Washington and Senator Money's resolution to impeach the integrity of the fourteenth amendment and like suggestions which a few years ago would have met with a storm of protests. This extreme tenderness toward the elements of the south may be wise, but the result of President Hayes' generous acts, extending the same olive branch, doubts and misgivings must be excused. Puny Sentimental Displays "It is all well enough to hide away the scars of the war, but there is such a thing as the pendulum of time swinging backward beyond the perpendicular. The thoughtful men of both the South and North are content to watch the Imperial history and not seek by such puy sentimental displays to divert the thoughts and judgment of the present generation from the eternal truths vindicated and settled by the civil war. Mr. Hollingsworth served as a private in the Union army during the civil war. Bradford, Pa.. Notes Quarterly meeting was held Sunday. Rev. Bentley, P.

MAKES THE BATH BENEFICIAL Long-Headed Young Woman Ha Ideas of Her Own Need the Needed Actions One athletic young woman indulges frequently in what she calls her "homemade Turkish bath." It is a fact, as she says, that one cannot always cleanse the skin thoroughly with only soap and water and comparatively smooth cloth. A cold-cream bath on the face will prove that. Therefore she takes a small scrub brush, of the sort sometimes sold in drug stores for nail brushes, and, first wetting the body with a sponge and hot water, scrubs the whole surface of the skin with the brush and a thick soap lather. This goes down into the pores and cleanses them, carries off more old skin and particles of dust and waste than the ordinary wash cloth, and stimulates the circulation. The soap is next thoroughly rinsed off with hot water, and the bath followed by a cool shower and a brisk rub. For the not too vigorous person, a slight rest adds to the beneficial effect, but, whether with or without the concluding soap, the treatment will be found both refreshing and invigorating.

A hostess whose little dinners or luncheons are never long or expensive but described at all times as perfection, with delicious surprises included that do not interfere with the night's good rest, declares that these gastro-nomical achievements are often sug gested to her merely by seeing the ingredients in juxtaposition. This may happen through the carelessness or the butcher boy or the groceryman both having returned with "forgotten" articles that have been thrown with out intent for such effo- upon the same table. In this way a most delectable combination of oysters and maccaroni occurred which was tempered by cheese and paprika and some shredded green peppers. Another time a stuffing for peppers ensured, for which the secret has never been told. Another invention is a salad of chopped celery, to which grape fruit, orange and nuts are added, and over this a French dressing with tarragon vinegar, alceded by chopper onion and a wee bit of sugar. An accompaniment to this salad is a cheese souffle done in tiny balls, arranged in a pyramid on toasted biscuits. Paprika is plentifully sprinkled over all to give a snap, but not bring tears, a cayenne would. The Puritan Collar The high stiff linen collar has had its day, and with summer shirt waists will be worn soft stocks or the cool, pretty turned-down collars in Dutch or Puritan style. These collars are very easy to make, and, as the distinction of handmade neckwear is always recognized, a supply of turned-down collars should be made up at home. Fine linen lawn is the proper material to use, and the collar may be worked with heavy white dots, a dainty scalloping finishing the edge, or it may be trimmed with clink or torchon lace. Sometimes there is merely a narrow lace edge with a little embroidered pattern above. Other pretty collars show an edge of the lace, with a narrow insertion running around an inch above. Cretonne Used for Embroidery Bag. A nice little embroidery bag is made of cretonne covered with two embroidery hoops, and finished at the ends with cardboard covered with cretonne just the size of the hoops. In other words, the bag is built like a barrel, with an opening at the side. This opening is held together by lacing with ribbon or by two buttons. The bag is carried by ribbon loops, which are fastened at each end to the embroidery hoops. It is pretty and the sewing materials do not get lost when thus protected. Dressy Bows of White Net To make a bow which is very dressy to wear with a linen waist, select a pretty piece of white net and cut a strip one-half yard long and six inches wide. Hem it on all sides and trim the two short ends with narrow lace ruffle. Gather it through the center and form three gathered loops on each side of the central line, making them in graduate depths, the central ones smallest; bring the ends out straight with the third loops. 2 PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY.

The editor of The Gazette is indebted to Capt. James H. Starkey, who is in the employ of the government at Washington, D. C., for a copy of the Congressional Directory, Sixty-first congress, first session, bound in cloth. The Gazette is indebted to Rev. J. D. Corrothers of Washington, D. C. for a neatly printed copy of his splendid poem on Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, published in a recent issue of The Gazette. The four-page leaflet also contains excellent portraits of the senator and the loving cup presented to him in that city some weeks ago. For seven long years Recordor Baehr has refused to appoint any Afro-American to any position in his office, 'though asked to do so. Now he is begging us for votes again—for the fourth time. Wonder "what he takes us for"? See editorial on page 2, headed-"BAEHR OR McKISSON, WHICH?" "JEFF DAVIS' PICTURE." Congressman Hollingsworth has deserved the thanks of every thoughtful citizen of the republic for his timely, manly and truthful words regarding the shameful attempt made under the guise of a conciliatory policy of so-called "patriots" to subvert the attention of the rising generation of American citizens from the logical, legal and moral consequences of the war of the rebellion which was won, fortunately for the republic and the whole civilized world, by the North, representing in this conflict of two ideas, the morally, intellectual and economically right side of the controversy! History teaches us repeatedly, that combatants who lost their cause upon the battlefield, will attempt to gain it elsewhere—on the political or social field. The attempt made by the reactionaries must be frustrated in the interest of moral and mental progress! It is a pity that such a simple lesson should have to be taught men of such positions in the intellectual and industrial world as those in whose hands the American people have placed to a large extent their present and future welfare and its progressiveness from feudal ideas and earth an age that prides itself upon its progressiveness from feudal ideas. Yet this doleful condition of affairs prevails in the American society today, thanks to the stability of stupidness in the Democratic party, which does not even attain the logical providence of the exceebel Vallandingham, who of early as 1872, adapted that party to adapt itself to the circumstances by accepting the results of the civil war." Aye, that deplorable condition exists to-day by the acquiescence of the victorious party (the Republic) in the doctrine of the vanquished party. Mr. Hollingsworth has said this in terms to all who wish to understand them. The Republican press should long ago have spoken out manfully upon this matter. If the party is willing to inaugurate anew the policy of President Rutherford B. Hayes, which failed of its purpose, the party should not have made the plain, unmistakable statement regarding the endorsement "in letter and spirit" of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution, as it did in the platform upon which Mr. Taft accepted the nomination. Its present attitude does not nally with that exposition of its principles in this matter. And "honesty is the best policy" even in politics, as certain sceptics will find out later on. ANOTHER CIVIL RIGHTS CASE WON. Charles Balash, a waiter employed in the "Bank Cafe" at 18 Public Square, was arraigned in police court last week Friday on a charge of violating our Ohio civil rights law, preferred by George W. Johnson and Theo E. Green, Esq, who said Balash refused to serve them after their orders had been taken. P. W. Welsh, bartender, arraigned with Balash, was charged with beating Mr. Green on the head when he made complaint. The prisoners pleaded not guilty and the cases were continued until Tuesday morning of this week when Judge McGannon of the police court, after trial, cost the proprietor $50 and cost (the minimum penalty provided by the law) for his refusal to serve Mr. Johnson. Attorney Green lost his case against the bartender for assault and battery because of his inability to prove who struck him. Mr. Johnson was not present in the room in which the blow was struck at the time it was delivered, but arrived afterward. Both Messrs. Green and Johnson are entitled to much praise for fighting the cases. It is only this spirit and this activity in the courts that is ever going to put a stop to the insulting, aggravating and wholly uncalled for discrimination against our people in public places solely on the ground of color or racial prejudice. And to think, foreigners, and oftimes aliens, as well as others, frequently so mistreat CITIZEN! It is enough to make any decent American's blood boll. "Sting" them (under our Ohio civil rights law), as Messrs. Johnson and Green have this week, and as Walter L. Brown did recently in the "roller rink" case, and put a stop to a drawing of a color line in public places in this community and state. Be MEN! BAEHR OR McKISSON, WHICH? Before and after he was elected the first time seven years ago. County Recorder Hermann Baehr, who has about 40 male and female clerks and copyists in his office, was asked by the editor of The Gazette to appoint one of our young men and one of our young women to positions in his office as a clerk and copyist, respectively. This was a modest request considering the fact that the Afro-American voters of this county constitute practically one-fourth of its total Republican vote. This entitles us to four positions in the recorder's office instead of two. For seven long years, in spite of the fact that he has a representative of nearly every other class or race of people in the community, in his office as clerks and copyists, Recorder Baehr has steadfastly refused to appoint any member of our race to any position within his gift, and now comes forward as a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor begging us for votes. The duty of every self and race-respecting Afro-American in this community is perfectly clear as far as Mr. Baehr's latest candidacy is concerned. Hon. Robert E. McKissison, when mayor of the city, appointed more Afro-Americans to positions than any other Republican mayor in the history of Cleveland. This is a well-known and generally recognized FACT. Then too, he is the only member of the party who, as mayor, has had any opportunity to make a record on the street car question (the burning issue of the campaign) which commends him to the masses of the people of this city. In point of ability and as a campaigner, he is recognized by all men, well acquainted with him and Mr. Baehr, as being greatly the latter's superior. His platform, which he announced recently, is one of the very best things that any candidate for office in the city of Cleveland has ever issued, and has commended his candidacy, for the Republican nomination for mayor this fall, to the great masses of Republicans and intelligent people generally, in the strongest possible manner. It is certainly an exceptionally strong and concise statement, showing unmistakably an exceptional familiarity with municipal affairs, and a most commendable determination to do those things most needed by Greater Cleveland and in the shortest possible time, if nominated and re-elected to the position of mayor this fall. And, that is exactly what we expect to see done because of the phenomenal growth in popularity of his candidacy within the week. If Mayor Tom Johnson is to be defeated in November, the Republicans of this community must be beled by a fearless and sterling campaigner, a man whose exceptional knowledge of municipal affairs, and whose record on the burning issue of the campaign, are such as to commend him to the masses of the people of this city. Such a man, is ex-Mayor Robert E. McKisson. LEFT HIM A HOME Skating -- Revival -- The Sick -- Per son's song -- The other Mabalong Valley Nose Youngstown, O.—Beginning May 10, Wm.

HONESTY BEST POLICY VAN VLISSINGEN'S ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN VERY GOOD. Says that once He Was known as "Honest Pete"—His First Forgery Was for $2,500. Chicago, Ill.—Four maxims as a guide to young men entering business were given yesterday by Peter Van Vlissingen, the former real estate operator, whose gigantic forgeries, covering a period of 20 years, were unfolded last week. Van Vlissingen is serving a sentence in Joliet prison, but is in Chicago trying to straighten out his books for his creditors. Some of the maxims are: "Be honest in small things. Do not permit your conscience to become calloused. "Be economical, and never risk other people's money, no matter how certain success may seem. "Once you commit a wrong, make restitution immediately, for delay means ruin, maybe death." Van Vlissingen said sadly that once he was known as "Honest Pete." His first forgery was for $2,500. A clerk discovered this and absconded with all the money. Then Van Vlissingen had to forge again, and he kept at it until a year ago, when he was exposed. CHAUFFEUR SHOOTS HUSBAND Man Who Was Not Living With Wife Discovers Her Talking to Auto Driver. Detroit, Mich.—An automobile, a separated husband and wife, and the resentment of the husband at finding the automobile driver talking to his wife, figured in a sensational and probably fatal shooting that occurred late last night in the rear of 143 Lafayette avenue. Robert Barrows was taken to St. Mary's hospital with a bullet wound in the abdomen. Mrs. Barrows, who has been working as a housekeeper at 143 Lafayette avenue, said she was standing on the back porch talking to Burkhardt, who had driven up in an automobile, when her husband appeared. "I see who you are with," were the only words spoken, according to Mrs. Barrows' account, when her husband, who had uttered the words, fell to the ground as a revolver flashed, and Burkhardt disappeared. Later Burkhardt was arrested. The police say he admitted that he had shot Barrows. AUTOS IN CARNIVAL PARADE More Than 1,000 Horseless Carriages in Line—"Roosevelt Airship" Takes Prize in Its Class.

DISCUSSES "THE HEART OF THE RACE PROBLEM." A THOROUGH EXPOSITION It has remained for a southern white man of southern ancestry, to make a clear, true, complete and thoroughly democratic exposition of the Negro question. We allude to Rev. Philippe Ewing's discussion of "The History of the Negro," in March Atlantic. One by one, Mr. Ewing takes up the white man's objections to the Negro, and gently but mercilessly tears them to shreds. Is the Negro lazy, and does that problem for his white neighbors? Is the Negro lazy, and does that problem for his white neighbors? In southern communities Negroes are choice workmen, workmen of highest efficiency, workmen who are so much in demand that he who should "attempt to inveigle a few dozen of the laziest away" from any southern com- Is the Negro peculiarly criminal, and does that make him a problem? No. What if the white man's statistics of the white man's administration do indicate it? The fact is otherwise. Although Negroes of the south occupy the social plane "which everywhere the white man is positioned in the gallows, with the greatest number of their victims," yet "in every other community the doors of society's rough work, the recipients of its imagerest rewards, are chargeable, relatively, with the greatest number of crimes." It is the Negro's economic condition that brings him under the ban of the criminal law, and not the ban of the civil law, which densely certain that no race of people anywhere are more easily controlled than the Negroes by the guardians of law and order." Nor do the facts support the frequent charge that "the Negro's worst crimes partake of a brutality that is peculiarly racial." One need but observe for a week the reports of any cosmopolitan newspaper to see that "the Negro's worst crimes involving acquaintances, are, not seldom but often, duplicated by white men." Is it the Negro's ignorance then that makes him a problem? "Hardly," answers Mr. Ewing; "for, almost to a man, the people who most parade and most rail at the race problem in private conversation, of the political platform, and in the pages of newspapers, books and periodicals, are disposed rather to lament, to assist, to assist, to assist," Neither does Mr. Ewing find "the heart-throb of the race problem," in personal aversion. There is no such thing in southern communities. "How could there be," exclaims the writer, "where from infancy we have all been as familiar with black faces as with white; where many of us fell asleep in the laps of black mammals, and had for playmates Ephrom, lizk. Zeke, and most of us have had our meals prepared by black cooks, and been waited on by black house servants?" What, then, is the Negro problem? Simply that it "is the white man's conviction that the Negro, as a race and as an individual, is his inferior," and that it "is the white man's determination to make good this conviction, coupled with constant anxiety lest by some means he should fail to make it good. This is evidence from the Negro's experience, where in the south friction between the races is entirely absent so long as the Negro justifies the white man's opinion of him as an inferior, is grateful for privileges, and lays no claim to rights." The specific evidence with which, layer upon layer, Mr. Ewing further establishes his contention that "the race problem is the problem how to keep the Negro in the minority." is overwhelming. And so it would be, Mr. Ewing rightly concludes, if the southern white people were to give place to white people from any other section of the United States. The question is not sextual in any profound sense. It is a question growing out of the traditional status of the Negro in this country. In other words, the Negro problem is nothing but a problem of slavery and peasant—the same old problem, but with an ebony setting. Mr. Ewong does not undertake to say whether the policy of the whites at the south is "expedient or inexpedient, wise or unwise, righteous or unrighteous. That is exactly what Mr. Ewong himself. Mr. Ewong merely explains—and this he proves—that the Negro problem of the south does not, in fact, hinge upon the alleged laziness, criminality, ignorance, or repulsiveness of the Negro; but upon the concession of the Negro to be inferior, and their determination to verify this conviction—Chicago Public.

SUPERINTENDENT C. L. COON Says a Small Amount of Money Is Spent There for Negro Education Considering the Population—Another Remarkable Statement from a White Southerner. Atlanta, Ga.—One of the principal addresses of the Twelfth Annual Conference for Education in the South was delivered on the last day of the session by C. L. Coon of Wilson, N.C., who spoke on "Public Taxation and the Negro School." In his address the speaker took the position that the present cost of the Negro public schools is not a burden on the white taxpayer of the south, and made the assertion that the white public school in the south is between six and seven times as expensive as the Negro public school, figuring on the basis of population. Superintendent Coon's address in part: "The south is spending $22,068,851 on her public schools. Of this amount $23,856,914 is paid for teachers, white and colored. 74.4 per cent of the total. Negro teachers are receiving about $3,818,705, or 12 per cent of the total expenditures for all purposes, while white teachers are being paid 64.4 per cent. The amount being spent on Negro teachers is by far the largest item of expense of the Negro public schools. Negro teachers the south is paying about $917,670 each year, making the total aggregate cost of the Negro schools near $4,736,375. These figures relate to the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee, which contained 81.4 per cent of the Negro population in 1900. The Negro population of these states is about 40 per cent of their total population. Hence, the Negro school teachers who have charge of about 40 out of every 100 students in the Negro school being only 12 per cent of the school expenditures. The total cost of all the Negro schools is only 14.8 per cent of the $22,068,851 expended. In other words, the white public school in the south which takes care of only 60 per cent of the population, has a more intensive and pensive as the Negro public school which takes care of 40 per cent of the population. The Negro's Contribution. "It is not possible to ascertain accurately what the Negro contributes to his own education, except in some of these states. In Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, it is possible to find out approximately whether the Negro school is a burden on the white tax-payer. If, in these states, we take on property and polls, their part of the taxes imposed on railroads and other corporations, their part of the permanent school funds and their part of the license taxes devoted to schools, it will be found that the Negroes part of the school fund raised North Virginia in 1907 was $707,305; North Carolina in 1907 was $674,852; Georgia in 1907 $647,852. These states spent the following sums on Negro schools in Virginia, 1907, $498,225; North Carolina, 1908, $402,658; Georgia, 1907, $506,170. Thus it will be seen that when any fair division of the school funds of these three states, the basis, the Negroes will face as well as they are now faring in the absence of such race division. "It has been generally assumed that the white tax-payer is now bearing nearly all the burden of the Negro public schools. But the figures for them are not as high as we seem to indicate clearly that this is not the case. If we divided the present school funds of the south on the race basis, how would we divide the funds raised by taxes on railroad and land taxes not listed as either white or black? How would we divide the license taxes and the income from the permanent school funds? It seems fail to assume that all such funds would have to be divided according to population, and it is likely that the present cost of the Negro public schools is a burden on the white tax-payer of the south." AMERICAN INCONSISTENCY. How Native-Born Citizens Are Discriminated Against to Favor Foreigners. Philadelphia, Pa.—Rev. Dr. John Watchhorn (white) of this city said in a sermon recently, among other things: "The lowly Irish immigrant of two decades ago, engrated to labor of the most menial type, is the politician and office-holder to-day. The English mining immigrant of 20 years ago is our pine foreman, superintendent or opium dealer, and the textile immigrant is our manufacturer. The laborer of 20 years ago is our master-mason. Only to the Afro-American have we denied these unparalleled opportunities for advancement. The unemployed Afro-American must pass by such huge establishments as Cramp's shipyard and Baldwin's locomotive works, and many concerns of lesser importance to claim the privilege of pushing enemy trains therein, whereby to earn his daily bread. Is it consistent to charge him with indulence and lack of ambition when we persist in imposing upon him industrial restrictions that would stifle the ambitious of sturdiest (composite Angle-Saxons? The Afro-American is charged with immorality; but if those frightful stories come to us from the mention to polite ears, be true, the woman should be the last to make the charge, for from him the Afro-American got his example and instruction in the art of vice." The Impresario of To-Day An impresario is a manager, agent or conductor of a troupe of operatic or concert singers; also, rarely, a teacher or trainee of such singers.

Granddaughter of Gladstone Proved She Had Not Read Scriptures for Nothing. Miss Dorothy Drew, who was presented at court a few days ago, was the favorite granddaughter of the late W. E. Gladstone, and among the stories told of her childhood days is the following: One morning she refused to get up, and, all other things failing, Mr. Gladstone was called to her "Why, don't you get up, my child?" he asked. "Why, grandpa, didn't you tell me to do what the Bible says?" replied Dorothy. "Yes, certainly." "Well, it disapproves of early rising—says it's a waste of time," rejoined the child. Mr. Gladstone was unable to agree, but Dorothy was sure of her ground. "You listen, then," she said, in reply to his exclamation of astonishment, and, taking up her Bible she read Psalm 127.2: laying great emphasis on the words: "It is vain for you to rise up early."—Tit-Bits.

Competitors were required to put in at least four practices at the smithy beforehand, and the competition was divided into two classes, one for seniors, who had to make a pair of horseshoes, and the other for juniors.

The London dancing teachers continue agitating for the introduction of various dances at state balls. They are urging against programs of dances which contain only two steps and waltzes and are petitioning the king to give his attention to the matter because if he sets the example of an elaborate program of dances all London hostesses are sure to follow. They wish also the introduction of one new dance a year so as to make constant dancing lessons necessary. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1909. PAINT EVERY YEAR. No One Wants to Do It, But Some Paint Will Wear No Longer. When you have a job of painting done you don't expect to have it done over again very soon. But to make a lasting job, several things must be taken into consideration—the proper time to paint—the condition of the surface—the kind of materials to use, etc. All these matters are fully covered in the specifications which can be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building, New York, and asking for Housewooler's Painting Outfit No. 49. The outfit also includes a book of color schemes for both interior and exterior painting, and a simple instrument for detecting adulteration in the paint materials. The outfit will solve many painting problems for every houseowner. Meantime while buying paint see that every white lead keg bears the famous Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which is an absolute guarantee of purity and quality. If your paint dealer cannot supply you National Lead Company will see that some one else will. PROOF POSITIVE. "Do you really love me, George?" "Didn't you give me this tie, dear?" "Yes, love. Why?"

"My little boy had an awful rash all over his body and the doctor said it was eczema. It was terrible, and used to water awfully. Any place the water went it would form another sore and it would become crusted. A score or more physicians failed utterly and dismayly in their efforts to remove the trouble. Then I was told to use the Cuticura Remedies. I got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and before we had used half the Resolvent I could see a change in him.

Once a youth thought it his solemn duty to learn something about Henry James. So, to the great admiration of his frivolous friends, he picked up "The Wings of the Dove" and disappeared into its pages. Two weeks later he was thinner, but still at it, when one of the afore-mentioned frivolous friends came into the room, and, for the first time showed interest. "Say," he observed, "is The Wings of the Dove' a collection of short stories or one long story?" The deliver into James glanced up from the pages. "One darned long story," he replied, throwing his whole soul into the words. Judge Will Wait and See.

The burden of the attorney's argument was that his client was the father of twins and was tempted to theft in order to feed the mouths of the infants. "Your honor, I will say frankly," said Mr. Pettijohn in closing, "that if I were the father of twins and needed food for my family, I would not hesitate to go out and steal it." "Mr. Pettijohn, when you are the father of twins I will consider your proposition," said Judge Pritchard.—Indianapolis News. Future Ideal Town In the ideal town of the future, as pictured by Sir Oliver Lodge, the houses will have gas for heating by open fires and for cooking, and electricity for lighting. The gas, produced from the coal at the mine, will be sent long distances through pipes, as water is now distributed. It is hoped that the experiment will be tried soon, the burning of crude coal in town being absolutely forbidden, and at least two English towns are already considering the plan. The purification of the air is one of the greatest needs in the improvement of the conditions of city life. OLD SOAKERS Get Saturated with Caffeine. When a person has used coffee for a number of years and gradually declined in health, it is time the coffee should be left off in order to see whether or not that has been the cause of the trouble. A lady in Huntsville, Ala., says she used coffee for about 40 years, and for the past 20 years was troubled with stomach trouble. "I have been treated by many physicians but all in vain. Everything failed to perfect a cure. I was prostrated for some time, and came near dying. When I recovered sufficiently to partake of food and drink I tried coffee again and it soured my stomach. "I finally concluded coffee was the cause of my troubles and stopped using it. I tried tea and milk in its place, but neither agreed with me, then I commenced using Postum. I had it properly made and it was very pleasing to the taste. "I have now used it four months, and my health is so greatly improved that I can eat almost anything I want and can sleep well, whereas, before, I suffered for years with insomnia. "I have found the cause of my troubles and a way to get rid of them. You can depend upon it I appreciate Postum." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

The Langworths lived in a corner house so easily accessible from the street that they were constantly annoyed by persons ringing to ask where other possible inhabitants of that block were to be found. Finally, goaded to desperation by these interruptions, the family boy attempted to put a stop to the nulsance.

DOLLAR WHEAT HAS COME TO STAY DOLLAR WHEAT HAS COME TO STAY IN LESS THAN FIVE YEARS CEN TRAL CANADA WILL BE CALLED UPON TO SUPPLY THE UNITED STATES. A couple of years ago, when the announcement was made in these columns that "dollar wheat!" had come to stay, and that the time was not far distant when the central provinces of Canada—Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta—would be called upon to supply a large part of the wheat consumption in the United States, there were many who laughed at the predictions and ridiculed the idea of wheat reaching the dollar point and staying there. Both of these predictions have come to pass. Dollar wheat is here—and it is not only here, but is here to stay; and at the same time, whatever unpleasant sensations it may arouse in the super-sensitive American, Central Canada is already being called upon to help keep up the bread supply, and within the next five years, will, as James J. Hill says, literally "become the bread-basket of our increasing millions." There are few men in the United States better acquainted with the wheat situation than Mr. Hill, and there are few men, if any, who are inclined to be more conservative in their expressed views. Yet it was greatest of the world's railroad men who said a few days ago that "the price of wheat will never be substantially lower than it is today"—and when it is taken into consideration that at that time wheat had soared to $1.20, well above the dollar mark, the statement is peculiarly significant, and doubly significant is the fact that in this country the population is increased at the ratio of 65 per cent, while the yield of wheat and other products is increasing at the rate of only 25 per cent. For several years past the cost of living has been steadily increasing in the United States, and this wide difference in production and consumption is the reason. This difference must be supplied by the vast and fertile grain regions of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. There is now absolutely no doubt of this. Even the press of the country concedes the fact. Results have shown that no other country in the world can ever hope to equal those provinces as wheat producers, and that no other country can produce as hard or as good wheat. Said a great grain man recently, "If United States wheat maintains the dollar mark, Canada wheat will be well above a dollar a bushel, for in every way it is superior to our home-grown grain." With these facts steadily impinging their truth upon our rapidly growing population, it is interesting to note just what possibilities as a "wheat grower" our Northern neighbor possesses. While the United States will never surrender her prestige in any manufacturing or commercial line, she must very soon acknowledge, and with as much grace as she can, that she is bound to be beaten as a grain producer. It must be conceded that a great deal of the actual truth about the richness of Canada's grain producing area has been "kept out of sight," as Mr. Hill says, by the strenuous efforts of our newspapers and magazines to stem the exodus of our best American farmers into those regions. It is a fact that up to the present time, although Canada has already achieved the front rank in the world's grain producers, the fertile prairies of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have as yet scarcely been scratched. Millions of acres, free for the taking, still await our American farmers; and when these millions are gone there are other millions in regions not yet opened up to immigration. A few years ago the writer, who has been through those wheat provinces several times, laughed with others of our people at the broad statement that Canada was bound to become "John Bull's Bread Basket." Now, after a last trip (and though he is a stanch American) he frankly believes that not only will Canada become John Bull's bread-basket, but it will become the next decade at least BECOME THE BREAK-BASKET OF THE UNITED STATES. Perhaps this may be a hard truth for Americans to swallow, but it is a truth, nevertheless. And it is at least a partial compensation to know that hundreds of thousands of our farmers are profiting by the fact by becoming producers in this new country. The papers of this country have naturally made the most of the brief period of depression which swept over Canada, but now there is not a sign of it left from Winnipeg to the coast. Never have the three great wheat raising provinces been more prosperous. Capital is coming into the country from all quarters, taking the form of cash for investment, industrial concerns seeking locations, and, best of all, substantial and sturdy immigrants come to help populate the prairies. Towns are booming; scores of new elevators are springing up; railroads are sending out their branch lines in all directions; thousands of prosperous farmers are leaving their prairie shelters for new and modern homes—"built by wheat:" everywhere is a growing happiness and contentment—happiness and contentment built by wheat—the "dollar wheat," which has come to stay. Notwithstanding this, the Canadian Government is still giving away its homesteads and selling pre-emptions at $3.00 an acre, and the Railway and Land Companies are disposing of their lands at what may be considered nominal figures.
