THE LADY'S DRESS CASE FOR THE BABY RIBBON. BEWARE OF THE MUD SLINGER. THE MAGISTR THANK YOU FOR THE WAR TWENTY-SIXTH Summer CASE FOR THE BABY RIBBON. Easily Made and Really Indispensable as Part of Belongings of the Dainty Girl. The girl who knows how disreputable baby ribbon can become unless daintily cared for will welcome a simple, washable case that can be made in a few minutes. A somewhat large embroidered handkerchief with a border running around it was cut in half, each piece making a case. The half was turned up so that it folded in thirds, with the outer side coming down at a top or cover. The part cut in two was finished with a narrow hem and the ends were finely overcast together. The case was then divided into five compartment, three smaller ones, one on each end and the third in the middle, and two larger spaces between. These latter were made big enough to hold a bodkin run through the card on which the ribbon was wound. Small cardboard reels were made to fit each compartment. These were slightly curved on each edge to keep the ribbon from slipping. The advantage of such a case is that it is quickly laundered and takes up no room in a bag or trunk. If intended for a present, each reel can be filled with a piece of baby ribbon in different colors, the bodkins can be of silver or different colored ivory and a tiny pair of scissors can be attached to one of the reels. These make inexpensive and pretty trinkets for a set of prizes or as a ready seller at a bazar. BECOMING FORM CF NECKWEAR Idea That Is Largely Copied from the Styles Popular with the Sterner Sex. We are getting more picturesque every day. This is especially true of neckwear. There are some women who cling to starturned over collars and the high-boned, untrimmed stock because they are becoming; but many other women take advantage of the pictorial opportunities in neckwear. One of the newest fashions is a duplicate of the old method used by gentlemen for covering their necks. A high linen collar with a soft finish is fastened to the neckband of the blouse, its points are turned over by hand in front, and a black satin scarf is wrapped around the collar and tied in front. It is best to use satin on the blias. Any weave of it is correct. It is usually folded double and stitched so that it will not roll back and show the lining. It is finished in front with a loose bow and ends, or a precise little bow, from the center of which may dangle velvet ribbon, a lace frill, or jet balls. The most picturesque fashion is to arrange it in this formal little bow in front and add a double frill of Valenciennes lace down front of blouse. If the lace is dipped in tea it will take on that Old World color. Thin Black Dinner Gowns. Black tulle and net dinner gowns are extremely fashionable this season. The different qualities of these materials make it possible to have a variety. Jet is again popular, and there are many designs in jet passementerie and embroidery that are delightfully effective. As a rule skirts are made quite plain. Sometimes there is a fold of black satin or velvet ribbon around the hem, and one of the newest models has two folds of satin, the same fashion that was popular two years ago. Preserving the Complexion. Before going into the wind or on a long trip in an automobile, rub a litte cold cream into the face and then powder thickly. THE GAZETTE Habit Sometimes Unconsciously Acquired, But It is Always Fatal to Popularity. Are you a mud slinger? Soon life is only seen through dark glasses and your friends are naught but targets. The girl who would be horrified to cut a friend's throat thinks nothing of slashing her reputation, which is more than life. Why should stabbing a man in the back be counted a disgrace, and stabbing him to the heart with slander not raise a ripple of disapproval? What is mud slinging? It is hounding a girl who is down; it is mean inuendo and ugly flings at a rival; it is spreading instead of smothering a scandal and unctuous repeating of unkind gossip. The mud slinger cares not whether her victim is blackened by slime of the mire of untruth and haired not does a ruined life and heart-broken friends give her a reproachful pang. She keeps on detracting every one who meets with her disapproval, until she is dreaded by friend and foe alike. Girls can all too soon get into the way of mud slinging. It is easy to repeat thoughtless, unkind remarks, to impute wrong motives, to tell the ugly story, but it is an easiness that makes for hardship all around. The victim suffers, but not more than the character of the girl who acquires the habit of seeing nothing but evil. The surest way to be unpopular is to gain a reputation for saying cutting things. The very girls who laugh at them will secretly fear that they may be the next target and they will avoid you. They will remember the mud slinger's habit after they have forgot that they found it amusing. USEFUL SERGE COAT. A useful coat of this description can be made in serge cloth or coating; it is quite plain, and the small sketches at the side show how the coat can be worn close to the neck or not, as preferred. Turban-shaped hat, trimmed with a jet ornament and an aigrette. Materials required: Five yards cloth 48 inches wide, 15 buttons. THE STRANGE PREFERENCE THE GREAT EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK INDEPENDENT POURS SOME MORE "HOT SHOT" INTO THE PREJUDICES SOUTH And President Taft's Outrageous "New Southern Policy"—As to Our Educational Opportunities in South Carolina. We are glad to publish an article this week by the able editor of the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier; and yet hope it will not be regarded as discourage if in this same issue we call attention to the most radical and intractable utterance we have yet come across on the subject of Negro office-holding in the south. It is well known that on the accession of President Taft to office the perfectly competent collector of the port resigned to give the president the opportunity to appoint a man of the chromatic tint which the white people, voiced by the News and Courier, demanded. We are by no means clear that the president did right in yielding, for the majority of the people of the state are tinted like Dr. Crum. Having secured his resignation more follows the attempt to drive all other colored men out of office, and the Florence postmaster is the first victim. It was reported that a northern white man, for some time a resident and a Republican, was to be made postmaster at Florence, and the Columbia State declared that the people would rather be a white man who should recall the days of reconstruction. This does not please the News and Courier. Under no circumstances would it take a Negro. It thus lays down the law to white and black and to President Taft. The State's sentence, 'An honest, capable and respectable Negro of the vignaige would be less objectionable than a white Republican who would recall the trying period of carpetbag government,' means, if it means anything, that now, at this time, some kinds of white men of the white men in public office in the south, and that is the proposition that we flatly dispute. We lay down the proposition that Florence or any southern town does not want a Negro postmaster and will accept any kind of white man, regardless of his qualifications and his record, in preference. "That is the only safe ground that a southern community can stand on. We can't breathe freely until we know that the Negro is out of politics in the south; we can't hope for decent white government until the conditions are accepted and then we know this republic that the government is going to be white." We cannot argue against such an absurd proposition. It refutes itself. To say that any white ignorantus or thief would be preferable to the most reputable colored officeholder is too postoperative for discussion. And yet we cannot argue that these ardent sectionalists are driven. No Negro should vote, no Negro should hold office, for a Negro is not a full man, not even if his blood is seven-eighths white. White men must have everything; white men must rule the black or blackish men. Negroes must not be allowed to rise to the level of white men, even if seven-eighths of them are black. Is it safe? Remember that the white people are in a minority in South Carolina, and the minority demands, because they have had it in the past, the perpetual right of rule over the majority, and that majority is rising in intelligence and wealth. How long will it be safe? To be sure, the white rulers of the colored society are the true friends of the colored people, and boast of what they have done to educate them. Here is another editorial in the same News and Courier, which tells of an "Educational Triumph." It tells how Colonel Shaw died at the head of his Negro soldiers in a battle in the siege of Charleston in 1863. The Negro soldiers, it says, after the war started the Shaw school in Charleston, and the Negro of northern money, and it was turned over to the city as a public school 35 years ago. "Since they took over the affairs of this school the commissioners have expended on account of this memorial to the white colonel of the colored Massachusetts regiment more than $350,000, the larger part of this very large sum having been paid by the Shaw school more than $500,000 colored children have been educated in the rudiments, at least, since it passed into control of the white people of this community. There are now, and have been every year for some years, 2,000 colored children attending this school and receiving from a competent and very earnest corps of white teachers, and this period not one dollar has been contributed from any of the benefactions of northern promoters of Negro education to aid in this work." That is an interesting statement. It is to the credit of the white rulers that they did not change the name of the Shaw school. It is to their credit that they did not suppress the public school system for both whites and blacks in the government. It is to their credit that they did support this and one other primary school for Negroes, even though sadly crowded and far less generously supported than the schools for white children. But we do object to the implication that meanwhile the northern promoters of Negro education have contributed not a dollar to aid in this work. We know that our contemporary only primary education to its colored children, and that if they want anything more they must get it from the charity of northern people. Why should not so rich a city as Charleston be ashamed to have its people depend for education on outside charity? Why should it supply free schooling for its white youth in the high school and require its poorer colored youth to pay tuition to private schools? Have they learned to be more respectful to the Avery normal school, where colored youths have to go after they have learned their letters at the Shaw school, owned by the American Missionary association, the property valued at $30,000, where the pupils have to pay tuition to support it, which has been aided by the American Missionary association, the property valued at $000? That is, if a colored child wants to learn something more than just how to read and write, the city of Charleston refuses to give him the opportunity and compels him to pay term bills at a missionary normal school whose broader income is eaked out by the school's annual contributions some thousands of dollars from New York. "Not a dollar?" No, not a dollar from northern promoters of education for the Shaw primary school, but a constant stream of money and a noble succession of self-sacrificing teachers for the next higher grades. And out of the money, the students come the larger part of the superior class of Negroes in Charleston. Nevertheless, we hold that, apart from his terror of Negro domination, Colonel Hemphill is one of the most influential forces for peace and good order in South Carolina. He hates all lawlessness, fights the pistol habit, and wishes the Negroes to be benevolently governed.—N. Y. Independent. AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

Liberia Greets Envoys. Monrovia, Liberia.—The American Liberian commission arrived at Monrovia on board the scout cruiser Chester at daylight May 8. Monrovia went wild over the arrival of the Americans. Before the salutes had been exchanged the local military authorities commissioned by the long roll of a drum, and the people of Monrovia hastened to command points, to see the glad sight of the American flag in the harbor. The Americans were received generally with special respect for the presidential inaugurations. "The great day of the Lord has come" is the sentiment of the people. IN MEMORIAM Perkins, James Earl, departed this life May 18, 1908, buried June 16, 1908. The moon and stars are beaming, Upon a silent grave: The one I loved about dreaming The one I loved but could not save. All is gloom within my dwelling, Lonely is my heart today. For the one I loved so dearly, Has forever passed away. Heaven now retains the treasure, Earth the barren casket keeps, And the sunlight loves to linger, For my darling's gone to sleep. In loving remembrance; from the bereaved widow. MRS. INA STRAIN PERKINS. It Pays to Advertise! That it pays to advertise is proven by the success of the Nelson Manufacturing Co. They started out advertising Nelson's Hair Dressing about ten years ago in a few papers. Today, they are advertising in practically every race newspaper in the country, and Nelson's Hair Dressing is known and used in every state in the country. They have accomplished by having a good thing and advertising it. Of the many papers that they use, none, they say, brings better results than The Gazette. "A hint to the wise," etc. Jeff, Davis, Rebel Leader. Washington, D. C.—The name of Jeff, Davis, rebel leader, has been chiseled again into the stone of the famous Cabin John's bridge, President Roosevelt having given instruction to this effect prior to his retirement and President Taft endorsing the outrage. When Jeff, was secretary of war, his name was cut on the war in the structure. Dung President Lincoln's administration, and after Davis had become a rebel leader, the latter's name was promptly chiseled out and should have remained off. The "24th" to March! Niagara Falls, N.

ANNUAL MEET FOR NEXT WEEK THE CALL OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO AMERICAN POLITICAL LEAGUE TO MEET AT COLUMBUS, THIS STATE, MAY 26 AND 27. BRAVE, WISE AND INDEPENDENT ACTION NEEDED Representatives of This Organization and Leaders of Both Races, Made a Splendid Fight at Chicago Before the Last National Republican Convention. To all lovers of true freedom who be believe in equality of rights, privileges and opportunities for all Americans without regard to race or color—Greeting: A little more than a year has passed since a number of individuals met at Philadelphia and formed the National Negro American Political league whose prime object is thus stated: "To organize and train the colored men of America to use their ballots to secure for the race every right guaranteed it under the constitution of the United States." The original call and the address Secretary W. T. Ferguson. adopted at the first meeting set forth in detail the reasons which made an organization having such a purpose, a national necessity. The same reasons apply to-day with added force. For none of the dangers and evils therein enumerated have in the least abated and new dangers menace the freedom and citizenship of the race. At that meeting a certain plan to be pursued during the then pending campaign was determined upon. Those of us who inaugurated that plan of campaign are still convinced of its correctness and necessity. The league has been called to meet at the Dunbar theater in Columbus, O., on May 26, 1909, at 10 o'clock am. It is expected that the sessions will last two days, with public meetings in commodious places of assembly during the meeting. At the meeting meeting it is intended to take what has been accomplished thus far, to discover mistakes, if any, and to arrange to avoid them in the future, and above all to lay plans to carry on the work begun and the work to be done, and to invoke the blessings and assistance of Almighty God in arousing our people for the mighty struggle in which they are engaged. This meeting every member and every person who have contributed to or assisted the league in its work are cordially invited — especially will be welcomed to it all the friends of freedom and of equality of rights, who regard these matters as of paramount importance, and who have found it difficult to retain old party allegiances under existing conditions.

Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio 11994 16 1891 Member Ohio Legislature, 1 1600 to 1892 Cleveland, O., Saturday, May 22, 1909 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. It will, indeed, be most regrettable if the United States cannot devise some way in which to assist the little nation, Liberia, Africa, which the United States called into being. Just what we can do, or how we can do it, is very doubtful. But unless some thing is done the tiny republic must before very long vanish from the face of the earth. There is something movingly pathetic in the cry of trust and hope expressed when the Ameri can commission arrived in Liberia the other day; "The day of the Lord has come." This sentiment was heard everywhere and the landing of the members of the commission made the occasion for a great holiday. We sincerely trust that something can and will be done by this country to help Liberia. We have received and publish in The Gazette to-day, the call for the annual meeting of the National Negro American Political League, at Columbus, this state, May 26 and 27. Rev. J. Milton Waldron of Washington, D. C. is its president, W. T. Ferguson of the same city, secretary, and Editor W. Monroe Trotter, corresponding secretary. Senator Foraker, Gov. Harmon and Mr. Jason Brown, the only surviving son of the martyred John Brown, are announced as among the principal speakers for the organization's public meeting. The objects of the league, which seeks to promote racial interest, are good and we sincerely trust that its Ohio meeting will be the success it ought to be. Wise, intelligent and helpful action should characterize it. The editor of The Gazette has been invited to attend and deliver one of the principal addresses. Those southern members of congress who the other day objected to the presence of Afro-Americans in the restaurant of the house because they found the Hon. W. T. Vernon, register of the United States treasury, there eating, on their arrival, and made a public talk about it, were encouraged to do so as a result of President Taft's infamous "southern policy." There is absolutely no doubt of this. They ought to be taught a salutary lesson, and we look to Speaker Cannon and the Republican members of the house to administer the greatly needed dose. They should be taught for the one-hundredth time that they are nearly 50 years behind the times and that the pendulum of progress is not going to be swung back to please a benighted south or a few "pin-headed" representatives of it Senator Foraker said recently in a speech at Cincinnati: "Two or three days ago I read that Gen. Hollingsworth, once attorney-general of Ohio—but now a member of congress from the 16th district—an old soldier, a captain I believe, had introduced a resolution calling upon the secretary of the navy to report to congress the facts in regard to citizens of the state of Mississippi's intention to present the battleship, Mississippi, with a silver service upon which was to be engraved a portrait of Jefferson Davis, and to tell congress just what kind of a lesson in patriotism that portrait was to teach or inspire." Continuing, Captain Foraker said: "I thought when I read his resolution, if that man didn't quit fooling around that way, the Republicans of Ohio would, before they knew it, have a candidate for governor." (Great aplause.) Good! And we would like to see him the party's standard bearer, too, in the next state campaign. It would mean an old-time Republican plurality on election day. While a southern Democratic member of congress was howling about self-government for the Filipinos particularly, a Republican member from New York state asked him what about a little self-government for Afro-Americans in sections of the south where they are numerically the strongest and capable of properly governing the communities in which they live, but where southern Democracy with the aid of state laws, ballot-box stuffing, mob violence, lynching and various other barbaric criminal acts, prevents them from so doing. This stirred the south's Democratic representatives to "white heat" and left them "sore," very "sore" indeed. It was a home-thrust that certainly "stung" and "stung" them good and plenty. So may it be often. Several of them "went into the air" faster than a balloon usually ascends, but the ascension failed to cure their passion. It is about time for northern Republicans to become a deal more aggressive in their handling of southern Democrats in and out of the halls of congress. WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY. This institution, one of our oldest and now one of our best schools, which includes a normal and industrial department controlled by the state of Ohio which contributes thousands of dollars annually for its maintenance and support, has made such splendid progress the past year under the direction of its new president, Prof. W. S. Scarborough, and his talent wife, who is also a finished educator of many years' experience, as to attract wide-spread attention and elicit very much favorable comment, generally. The moral tone of Wilberforce university, as well as its progress along both "classical" and industrial educational lines, has been greatly improved under their wise and very careful direction. President Scarborough has called to his work an energy, which, coupled with his long experience as a teacher and vice president of the institution, makes the future of all departments of Wilberforce seem very promising, indeed. Mainly through his efforts, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, early last month, promised the university $17,500 for a new dormitory-building for the young women students, providing it raises an equal amount, the building to cost $25,000, and thus far, President Scarborough has made splendid progress toward raising the required amount. He should have every encouragement and all the assistance all friends of the institution can possibly bring to him. This is the only way that success can be assured. In recent weeks much has been said in The Gazette relative to the establishment of a Joseph Benson Foraker scholarship at Wilberforce, in honor of our great and good friend who so successfully, and against such great odds, won the fierce "Brownville" battle for our soldiers of "The Black Battalion" and the race. This, to take the place of the many gifts being sent to the senator, and with his entire approval. Indeed, it would be vastly more satisfactory to him and all concerned and, too, would be a lasting honor of much more general benefit as well as satisfaction. Mrs. Patricia Robison of Moro, Ore., who was first to suggest such a scholarship for Wilberforce university, has outlined her ideas as to it in several communications published in recent weeks in The Gazette, and they are excellent. Furthermore, she has backed up her suggestion with a contribution of two dollars as a starter for the Joseph Benson Foraker scholarship fund for Wilberforce university, and our Xenia representative has also offered to contribute. No doubt there are many others who are willing to do so, and are only awaiting something more definite before forwarding their money. Mrs. Robson has asked The Gazette to act as treasurer of the fund and President Scarborough of Wilberforce has written the editor as follows: Wilberforce, O., April 14, 1909. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O. My Dear Mr. Smith: I think well of the proposition to establish a scholarship here in honor of Senator Foraker. I would make it a literary one, and not one in law. It is a good thing, and your correspondent made a wise suggestion. Let The Gazette take the matter and champion it through to a finish. Mr. Foraker thinks well of Wilberforce. It meets my approval. Go ahead, my friend, you have things in your own hands, Help us out with the Carnegie gift. Will see you soon. Your friends, W. S. SCARBOROUGH. The following, taken from Mrs. Robison's letter published in The Gazette of April 5, 1909, will be read with additional interest in the light of the above: "Editor Gazette -Dear Sir: * * * The scholarship should be known to the Joseph Benson Foraker scholarship, and either on entering or at graduation an essay or oration dealing with his life should be required. So, through all the years, his name will be known to the brightest of the race, and this constant holding him as a model could not but work good to our children, for in all things he is an ideal American, a Christian and a gentleman. In the second place we have among our Afro-Americans one among the brightest of the speciality seems to be large group pictures. What better subject for his brush than that scene in the senate chamber last April when Foraker so grandly plead for justice for that wronged battalion? Let him 'paint the likeness of fierce defiance let him be burling at our enemies.' 'A brutal tyrant sworn to smile A people, struggling for their right Our hero dared him to the field, Content to die, but not to yield.' "The crowded galleries of the senate with their mingled white and black faces, the full senate and the group of house-leaders in the rear, are the most important foraker in the foreground as he delivered that splendid peroration: 'They ask no favors because they are Negroes, but only for justice because they are men,' would make an ideal picture. And now, while the men could not afford to lift their hands to make genuine portraits, is the ideal time. * * * * On April 26, 1909, Mrs. Robison again wrote The Gazette as follows: "Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: I see by The Gazette that one person has offered to start the subscription for a Joseph Benson Foraker scholarship, with one dollar. Here are two more dollars. Can't you act as treasurer? If the colored papers would take it, you would be able to afford it would soon be a reality and not a dream. Can't we get it by next fall? How much money must be raised? What will it cost a year to support a scholar at Wilberforce? Tuition, books, board, clothing and incidentals, for there should be some allowance made for those. The amount of money necessary for the not to give out, or the brain do its best work, and we want the very best of the race. * * * * * * * * We call upon President Scarborough to answer as concisely as possible, the questions Mrs. Robison propounds and to give whatever information he may deem necessary in connection therewith. All contributions to the fund will be acknowledged and a notice of the same published in The Gazette. The matter is now in the hands of our people throughout the country. They can easily make it a success if they will. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1909. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from the Toledo, O., chamber of commerce to meet Gen. Frederick D. Grant of the United States army at a luncheon to be served at Hotel Secor, that city, at 12 o'clock noon, Tuesday, May 25, and are sorry we will be unable to attend.

Foraker for a copy of his splendid address on "The Results and Responsibilities of Our Victory," delivered at the Loyal Legion annual banquet, held in the Queen City club, Chincinnati, O., May 5.

THERE IS CONSIDERABLE MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY IN IT, TOO! THE FEAR OF COLORED RACES "CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST." Last year, a few weeks before election day, the Hon. William H. Taft went down to Greensboro, N. C., and congratulated the white Republicans of that state upon acting on his advice, given upon a previous occasion in a speech in the same city. He advised the elimination of the Afro-American voter as an officer of the party organization of North Carolina, and the south, and as an office-holder. According to the following excerpt from the editorial columns of the Charlotte (N. C.) Star of Zion (organ of the Zion A. M. E. church connection), the "chickens are coming home to roost," with a vengeance to the ungrateful white Republican brethren of that state, and best of all they are being sent there by the same William H. Taft, now president of the United States, who has been handing out the same dose to our people, throughout the country, every since his inauguration on March 4. Mr. Taft seems to be wholly devoid of party-pride, respect or care, and his Americanism is of a kind no previous president ever had the temerity to expose if one ever was so fortunate as to possess it. Read this: "Hon. J. Elwood Cox, late nominee of the Republican party of North Carolina for governor, said in his speech of acceptance in the auditorium in this city last summer that there were 100,000 white Republicans in this state. Strange, isn't it, that of this number that there were not to be held on the lawyer of the afflicted to receive an appointment to the Eastern judgeship. One hundred thousand Republicans and Judge Conner, the appointee of Mr. Taft, is a very excellent Democrat. What about it, Mr. Cox?"—Charlotte (N. C.) Star of Zion. In explanation, it is hardly necessary to add that the president is not a veteran of the war of the rebellion; nor was he ever an active member of the party. It is said (and we have never seen it contradicted in public print) that Mr. Taft has voted but a few times in all his life, and those were while he was secretary of war.

THIS IS RICH! HOW SARCASTIC! THERE IS CONSIDERABLE MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY IN IT, TOO! THE FEAR OF COLORED RACES The Editor of The New York Independent Hands Out a Fine Line of Sarcasm and Very Much Unpleasant Truth. The inferiority of the Caucasian race is recognized and accepted by many of that race in this and other lands. This explains, as nothing else can explain, their fear that they will be overrun and beaten by superior races. They know they have the present advantage in numbers and wealth and weapons of war, that the government is in their hands, but they see the danger if they allow those of superior races equal opportunities. We can hardly blame them for their wear and their insisting on excluding or suppressing those whom they dread. This explains the California and the Nevada proposals to forbid aliens to buy and hold land in fee simple. They mean the Chinese and Japanese. They look up to these Mongolians as Tom Thumb, Barmum's white dwarf, looked like a giant dragon. Mongolians are their superiors, they know, in thrift, in diligence in money making, in all sorts of acquisition, and they tremble at a rivalry with them. If allowed, they would soon own the whole western coast. San Francisco is the only city where he Hence Mr. Drew's bill; he does not believe he could hold his own modest estate if a Japanese were allowed to ask for it. It, is it, can be, nothing else than a sense of their own inferiority which explains the unwillingness of these men to allow Chinese and Japanese to them on even terms and set the best wage. To be sure, the president (Roosevelt) has no fear that these Mongolians will get the better of us Caucasians, but he is a headstrong man, full of conceit, hasty in conclusions, and he does not know as much of Japan as he does of the United States, can shoot a bear he thinks he can beat any alien. But the Japanese are another sort of beast, like the Martians we have heard of, all science, all heartless and all huge. We poor Caucasians, we puny Anglo-Saxons and Celts, would stand no chance with them; we would be pushed into the mountains or the mountains, driven back by the superior Senegalese and Mandingoes. In the long run the superior wins—it always does—and the Caucasians are doomed. Somehow, by wilt or war, the superior race will win over the inferior race. It will be better, or the world that those who in pursuing war should be replaced by a better stock. And there are terror stricken herds of cotton tails that are trying to hide behind high fences against the advance of the black southern wolves. They talk a very different dialect from what they did a half century ago. Here is the story of a man in a sealed letter before he fired the shot in the Washington theater: "The country was formed for the white, not for the black man, and looking upon African slavery from the same standpoint held by the noble framers of our constitution, I, for one, have always considered it one of the greatest blessings, both for themselves and for us, ever bestowed upon a favored nation." He thought the black race so inferior that it was only fit for slavery. He did not fear them any more than Abdraham Lincoln when he liberated them; for he thought they were only a bit more than a mule. But Senator Tillman has seen the mule beaten by Hoke Smith, and so have the legislators of a dozen states. They are afraid of being beaten. They see how an eighth of Negro blood will dominate seven-eighths of Caucasian. They shiver at the thought of probable Negro supremacy if they do not, while they can and should work, exclude the Negro from the protection of the ballot box. No other plausible explanation that can be given of their terror except that they feel that they and their children will be beaten in a fair fight. It is natural for a weak race thus to defend itself, by all walls of stratagem and defence against the time when strength shall claim the ground. Thus they can see themselves. The Ulysses put out the eyes of Polyhemus and escaped the gland's clutch. Forgive us if we sometimes think this is cowardice, that they ought to be willing to try the arbitrament of the struggle for existence and abide its result. But that implies some hope that we can avoid the paralyzing effect of conscious inescapable racial inferiority—New York Independent. THE PAST UNVEILED. The Egyptians Were Black - Other Historical Facts of Special Interest. Hon. Alex. H. Everett, a Bostonian (white) in 1833, said to the Colonizer that he was a slave. "Go back to the earlier period in the history of the human race. See what the blacks were and what they did 3,000 years ago in the period of their greatness and glory when they occupied the forefront in the march of fact and the whole civilized constituted in fact the whole civilized their time. Trace this very civilization of which we are so proud to its origin and see where we will find it. We received it from European ancestors; they had it from the Greeks and Romans and the Jews. They derived it from Ethiopia and Egypt; in one case they were instructed in all the learnings of the Egyptians. The founders of the principal Grecian cities, such as Athens, Thebes and Delphi, came from Egypt and for centuries afterward their descendants returned to that country as the source and center of civilization. There it was that the generous and stirring spirits of that country not only got goras and the rest made their noble voyages of intellectual and moral discovery as ours now make in England, France and Italy. Sir, the Egyptians were the masters of the Greeks, the Jews, and consequently of the modern nations in civilization, and they had carried it very nearly as far—in some respects a good deal far more than in others. The ruins of the Egyptian temples laugh to scorn the architectural monuments of any part of the world. They will be what they are now, the delight and admiration of travelers from all quarters, when the grass is growing on the sites of St. Peters and St. Paul's, the present pride of Rome and London. * * * * Well, sir, who were the Egyptians? They were African;s; of the colored race. It is sometimes pretended that Egyptians and Ethiopian extraction they were not black. But what says the father of history who traveled among them and knew their appearance as well as we know that of our neighbors in Canada? Sir. Herodotus tells you that the Egyptians were black with curly hair. The writers have undertaken to dispute this, but we do not bring myself to believe that the father of history did not know black from white. It seems, therefore, that for this very civilization of which we are so proud, and which is the only ground of our present claim to supernatural knowledge, the historians of these very blacks whom we are pleased to consider as naturally incapable of civilization."

KETCHEL BEATS UP MGANN A Lively Six-Round Bout at Pittsburg —McGann Was Almost Knocked Out. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Six times Hugh McGann was down for a count of nine in his six-round bout with Stanley Ketchel, champion middleweight of the world. Five times in the sixth round he was saved from a knockout by a second. Twice he was knocked through the ropes, once clear across the press table into the seats of spectators. Ketchel apparently toyed with his opponent and probably could have knocked him out had he tried hard. Only the cheering voices of his champions from the audience inspired McGann several times to get upon his feet again, after being all but knocked out. For the first three rounds McGann fought hard and landed several times on the champion, but he apparently exhausted himself in the early rounds and could not face the powerful blows of his antagonist after the first half of the bout. No decision was permissible under the Pennsylvania laws. MURDER MYSTERY CLEARED Convict in Joliet Penitentiary Confesses to Killing a Chicago Policeman—Studied for Priest. Chicago, Ill.—The mystery of the murder of Policeman Robert J. Mackaney while walking his beat the morning of March 16, 1907, has been cleared by the confession of Jas. O'Neill, a convict now serving a term in the penitentiary at Joliet for robbery. Capt. P. D. D'Orien of the central detective bureau announced that he and Deputy Warden Sims had secured the story of the murder from O'Neill. O'Neill, who studied for two years at the Holy Cross college for the priesthood and who is said to come of a wealthy Pittsburg family, is alleged to have said: "On the night before this murder two other men and myself had robbed a jewelry store. I was walking along Sixty-third street in the morning with some of the plunder when I saw this policeman. He had searched me a couple of nights before and I thought he would grab me and find the jewelry. So as he came toward me I shot him twice." UNEARTHED HUMAN BEINGS The Skulls Have Low Foreheads and Heavy Jaws and Do Not Be long to White Men. Buffalo, N. Y.-Men at work in an orchard in Orangenport, Niagara county, uncovered the skeletons of about 50 human beings. Dr. C. F. Johnson, who was called and thereafter directed the work until darkness put a stop to operations, said of the find: "So far as we could see the bodies were piled in without regard to order. Those skulls that I have examined are prognathous. That is, they have low foreheads and heavy jaws and seem not to have belonged to a white man. On the other hand, although I am not an anthropologist or an ethnologist and have only the neighborhood lore in Indian history, I have never heard or read of an Indian burying ground where there was such lack of system and ceremonial."

The Caterers' association "smoker" last week Monday evening proved a very enjoyable affair. William E. Franklin is a recent graduate of the Cleveland Homeopathic medical college. Everybody Reads The Old, Reliable Mr. and Mrs. John P. Green have returned from a several months' trip abroad. They visited a number of the old countries. An excellent love story, written by Mrs. Nellie B. Beidleman, will soon appear in the magazine section of the Plain Dealer at an early date. Miss E. B. DeLaney addressed the missionary societies at Antioch church Sunday afternoon. Her talk was very interesting and effective. Mr. Ed. Daw and Rev. R. W. Bagnall spent several days last week in Youngstown, attending an Episcopal convention. The former was St. Andrew's delegate. The remains of Mr. Jesse Calink were shipped to London, O., for burial. His mother arrived in the city a few hours before his death last week Thursday morning. The four American candidates for federal jobs have subsided. Taft fooled them last fall and as president is doing it right well again this spring. Poor deluded fellows. Rev. Chas, Bundy, P. E., was in the city the past week for a brief stay with his family and made The Gazette sanctum several very pleasant visits. Dr. Bundy is always thoroughly interested in all that concerns the race. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to attend a "May shower" given by the Ideal Social club Thursday evening at Cozad's hall. Miss Helen Brooks is president of the club, and Mrs. J. W. Nooks is secretary. The Cleveland Daily News and Plain Dealer continue their contemptable treatment of, and references to, our people. Their sponsoring groups are the local band. Do not purchase these newspapers as long as they continue to insult, degrade and injure Summer Boarders The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a valuable little booklet on "Self-Help in Negro Education," by Rev. R. R. Wright, Jr., of Philadelphia, Pa., now editor of the Christian Recorder. It was printed and issued "for the advancement of the interests of the race" by "Committee of Twelve" Chevrolet Pa. This is amusing. "Attorney Thomas as W. Fleming, candidate for councilman-a-friend, Mr. Fleming was on the ticket the last time. The ticket was defeated and he has consented to become a candidate again. He is of the most progressive of Cleveland's younger citizens and is highly respected. All of his friends have picked him for a sure winner."—Cleveland Toilet-Paper. Manager Faekenheuer blamed the Hippodrome ticket seller for the vain attempt to draw a color-line at the Hippodrome last season and promptly stopped the effort on his return to the city at the time. Tales to the contrary are all untrue and so stamp them as fast as you hear the malicious stories. The inmates of the Old Folks' home were delightfully entertained by the Lend-a-hand society at Mrs. J. W. Wills' recently. An elaborate luncheon was served at 5:30 p. m., and the remainder of the evening was spent very pleasantly. Mrs. Wiss Mitchell, Mrs. Mamie Jackson, Mrs. Daisy Underwood, Mrs. Edina Seelig and W. Wills entertained the music with vocal and instrumental music, and Miss Daisy also recited beautifully several of Dunbar's selections. The annual banquet of St. John's S. S., held last Friday evening, in the church, was by far its most enjoyable affair. The lecture room and dining room having been thrown together, were crowded with tables and were beautifully and artistically decorated with American flags. The big silk flag recently presented in the second of the room. One of the interesting features, and indeed the pride of the school, was the four big organized classes, the Their members numbers over 160. 100. Baraca, Philathia, Vashti and Esther. These tables were also beautifully decorated with flowers and hand-made centerpieces, candelabra. The entire school assembled in its room and marched down to the tables by classes; as they were called. About 350 attended. There was a good deal of friendly rivalry in decorating the different tables. FIRST ESTIMATES TOO HIGH The Number of Christians Killed at Adana by Mohammedans Now Placed at About 10,000. Adana — The estimates of from 20,000 to 25,000 Christians killed by Mohammedans in the province of Adana, made a fortnight ago, must be reduced. It is now ascertained that the number can hardly reach more than 10,000, possibly less. Thousands who were supposed to have been killed in the country districts have since come into some one of the large towns. Nearly 50,000 persons have received assistance from the American, French, German, Armenian and Turkish relief committees or officials at Adana, 22,000 at Marash, 14,000 at Hadjin, 3,000 at Mersina, 2,000 at Latakia, 4,000 at Tarsus and a comparatively large number at Aintab and Alexandretta.
