TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 46. THE VOGUE IN PARIS THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICA TWENTY-SIXTH THE V IN DAUNTY, dazzling, delicious, such are the creations which Dame Fashion has introduced for the summer of 1909. To accommodate the clinging, slinky, floppy styles now in vogue, materials are all of a kind calculated to fall in soft folds and drape in folds known as "classic," and which are purely Parisian, and as much superior to classic folds as the smart Paris gown is to the cumbersome toga, writes Marie de Montaigne. Sheer white embroidered robes are features of this and the coming season, and these are distinguished for the delicacy and exquisite workmanship of the embroidery. This, in the better class of machine-made embroidery, rivals hand work in beauty, and only an adopt or the person who paid the bills could tell the difference between them. Our first illustration shows an admirable design in the latest mode for our warm season. It is a gown that may be made up in a wide variety of materials, from Aloch to chiffon. When a gorgeous dinner gown could be created by making the guipme and stock; the full drawn puff across the front between the empire band and sash, and the sleeves of silver tissue with a gown of thin blue satin; or of gold tissue with any kind of black evening material. In the first case the empire bolero with its short upper sleeves; the sash, cuffs, edge of overskirt and bottom of skirt would be embroidered or braided in silver. In the next instance the black gown would be embroidered in gold. To make an afternoon gown of this model use soft silk or satin, and work an elaborate pattern of hand-embroidery or soutache braid over the broad part of the bodice, which is formed somewhat on the bolero order in regard to brevity, and which serves to support the skirt by means of two broad, embroidered straps which are buttoned to the top of the sash. Of course, the strap is usually sewed firmly to the sash, but it is quite possible to fasten it on the button and with a concealed hook and eye in each corner. This would permit one to wear a sheer blouse on a warm day without the embroidered covering. The overskirt is looped in upward folds on each side, and is embroidered to harmonize with the design used upon the bodice. This begins in a tiny scallop high up the front of the overskirt, and increases in the size of scallops towards the bottom. Buttons or button effects are set in each scallop. Usually these are of raised embroidery, beginning with a mere dot and growing to quite a large disc lower down on the overskirt. Upon the skirt is repeated another harmonizing embroidery or braid design that extends around the bottom on and above the hem and straggles up charmingly into an irregular point upon the front of the skirt. The bottom of the skirt lies on the floor in full, floppy folds all around and has a slight trail in the back. Between the embroidered bolero sleeves and cuff is a plain sleeve, fitted and buttoned down the outer side. --- THE GAZETTE This may be of the dress material or of the sheer fabric used for the collar and front of the gown. When built of thin white or flowered summer cotton fabrics the embelished portions of the gown may be cut out of all-over embroidery or lace and supplied by edgings and floundings to match. Striped linen is used in making up the gown shown in the illustration on the right. A combination of plain and striped linen would also be most effective in this model, while silk, in the same plan, would also serve charmingly. The coat is built to fasten at one side under a panel front, in each of which is inserted along the middle a piece of trimming material. A semi-fitted effect is given the garment by means of narrow plaits or pln tucks that extend from below the bust down and emphasize a short-walsted appearance. A babyish round collar is edged with trimming, which may be either a striped material or tucking, similar to that used upon the coat panel. Large buttons decorate each shoulder and also the sleeve cuff and straps around the upper arm. Perhaps the most striking feature in the gown is its pretty sleeve. This is mousquetaire, of three-quarter length, and shows, below it, a fitted cuff of lace or such embroidered material as may be selected to trim the dress with. A plaited skirt, made walking length, completes an effective costume, which might be made up attractively in any cotton, linen, silk or thin wool goods suitable for a dress to be worn in the forenoon. With this costume is shown a basish-shaped hat with flowers around the crown and big loops of soft ribbon hanging over the back. Linen is an admirable material in which to build the model shown. It is a style equally adapted to light wool and silk fabrics.-Boston Herald. ORNAMENT FOR THE HAIR. A Becoming Coronet of Silver Fill- gree and Seed Pearls.

OUR JURORS IN THE SOUTH OUR JURORS IN THE SOUTH A GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN'S EF FORT TO ELIMINATE THEM FAILED. THE GAZETTE EVER ON WATCH The Penal Code Bill Was Amended in the Lower House—Senator Dick Explains How Bartlett's Amendment Was Lost in the Shuffle. Cleveland, O, May 23, '99. Senator Charles W. Dick, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: In February I sent you the following letter, and for fear the matter has been overlooked or forgotten, I am sending you a copy of it: "I notice in a Washington dispatch to local newspapers under the date, Feb. 18, 1909, that the house of representatives on that date passed a bill revising, amending and codifying the penal laws of the country; a somewhat similar measure had previously passed the senate. Both measures are now in the hands of a committee on conference. The house bill was amended by a Mr. Bartlett of Georgia so as to allow a color line in juries by repealing the law in force which made it a crime for state officers to disqualify certain persons from serving on juries on account of race or color. It is hardly necessary for me to call your attention to the necessity of securing the rejection of the Bartlett amendment by the committee on conference, and, if this is impossible, the necessity of securing the same result when the conference committee's report is being acted upon in the senate. It does not seem possible that a Republican congress could accept, to say nothing of admonition, any such bill as amended by Mr. Bartlett of Georgia." Sincerely yours. HARRY C. SMITH. The Senator's Reply. Washington, D. C., May 28, 1909. Dear Mr. Smith:—I have your favor of May 21, sending me a copy of a letter you wrote in February in regard to the revision of the penal law. At the time you wrote me I think the matter had not been disposed of and Senator Charles Dick. when it was settled I was so crowded with other matters that I have overlooked the letter, and I thank you for calling my attention to it. It gives me pleasure to advise you that the former law on the statute books, making it a crime for state officers to disguise certain persons as Congressmen, according to race or color, is still the law. The attempt of southern congressmen to eliminate this section and similar provisions from the penal code resulted in a tangle in the senate, which was overturned by the Supreme Court out of the penal code, but at the same time the section repealing those statutes was also dropped out; so that while that particular statute is not in the penal code, it remains upon the assent that as before. I think you are safe in feeling assured that a Republican congress will never adopt such a provision as was proposed by Congressman Bartlett of Georgia. Hoping this is satisfactory, I remain THE JACKSON GRADUATES. An Old Citizen Dead—Personal Mention—Other Local News of Interest. Steubenville, O.—The W. R. club met at Mrs. L.

The Maleasing Cartoons Relative to Cuban Affairs Published Last Week in Two Local Daily Papers. Last week Thursday and Friday and frequently since the Spanish American war, the Press and the Plain Dealer have published cartoons that gave the impression that the colored portion of the population of Cuba was responsible for the badly muddled state of financial affairs and other inimical conditions existing in the isl and the manifestation of the movement of The Gazette to send the managing editor of both papers the following letter, which is self-explanatory: Cleveland, O., June 4, 1909. Dear Sir:—The enclosed cartoon from your paper is, but one of many that I have noticed in it since the Spanish-American war. As you could imagine, the population of Cuba is colored. This one-third does not control the island. Indeed, it cuts a very slight figure in the management of the same, and certainly the people of this city and the country ought not to be impressed with the ideas that Cuba's colony conduct of its affairs, especially those open to criticism upon the part of other peoples. Yet this is exactly the impression that the cartoons from your paper, such as the one enclosed, make in this community at least. Such unfair impressions are harmful to my people, and I wish to ask you to see to it that in the future such cartoons give the correct impression, letting the responsibilty for mismanagement of affairs, misconduct, etc., in Cuba and elsewhere rest where it belongs. The colored people of Cuba, the burdens enough of their own to carry without having loaded upon them of others. Many times in the past I have been tempted to write you relative to this matter, but always felt that each cartoon of the kind might possess one of the enclosed if memory serves me correctly, is about the worst of the lot. Yours fraternally, HARRY C. SMITH. The Plain Dealer's Reply. Cleveland. June 6, 1993. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I am calling our artist's attention to your note in regard to his cartoon on our wall and assure you that if any offense was given by the cartoon we very sincerely regret it.

Williams of the Humane society, Chelsea, Cleveland, O. has sent the following letter to the Gatesize: "I wonder if, through your paper, you could help us in placing a little Colored child for adoption. The child is a girl, born in December, and is one of the most attractive babies I have seen for some time. She is legally in our possession; so if we could find a family which, on investigation, would prove to be the right sort of a family to take over it, up, we could turn it over for legal adoption. The child, I am sure, would brighten and cheer a home where it is a real desire on the part of the parents for a baby. If you can be of any assistance in the matter, it will be greatly appreciated by us." Another Civil Rights Suit. Bellefontaine, O.—Joseph Briggs, a lawyer of Belle Center, has sued Geo.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SO-CALLED GRAY MATTER OF PREJUDICED SOUTHERNERS They Keep on "Harping—Their Silly Claims and Statements—"Section-alism" Dominant—Lincoln Hissed—No Patriot-ism. To the Editor: After over a year's residence in the far Southland, and reading "hot stuff" in about every paper that is published in the South, I have wondered whether the Southern people, or the press have a bad case of grouch. Their heads seem to have something wrong with the so-called gray matter, or they surely would not print the stuff they do, and call the late rebellion a "sacred cause." When I think it would look better if they would drop all such stuff, or else call things by their right names. Those Southern papers with their flinging at the North all of the time put me in mind of a yelping terrier snapping at a big St. Bernard. When will these grouchy people ever realize that the South is in a small part of our great country, that they are behind the rest of it, and that their grouch is the cause of it, and will continue to be until they change their tactics? Even at this late day the Southern papers on a hangout at the North about the mismanagement of the construction days. Admitting that there was some mismanagement on the part of the North, the greater part of the trouble was due to their own sympathizers, and the rest was just the natural outcome of a torn-up whose disjointed ends would not fit. But the Southern press claims that the North tried to disgrace them, when the simple truth was that they disgraced themselves. Was anything the North could have done a greater disgrace than the South that were Andersonville, Libby prison and Belle Isle, not to mention some other things? While the South remembers, the North will not forget. It is all right to honor brave men, but is it wise on the part of the South to keep harping on the "lost cause"? If that "cause" had been right or just had not been have now a "lost cause." The Southern people claim that they are more chivalrous than are those of the North—another idea that has no more foundation now than it had when they showed their chivalry by hammering at the government that had trained them to lose the lost cause and that is this. They are talk about the reconstructions day and boast of what the South has made out of herself since, and seem to forget that it was Northern capital that made the new South what she is to-day. North was the humming, and Northern skilled labor that turned out the first products of the new industries—and they are still the moving springs. Now, while I want to be just in my criticism of the South, yet the plain truth is it's all sectionalism instead of patriotism, and the "lost cause" is held up as something sacred. At a moving picture show here in the so-called Jacobite succession, Lincoln making his memorable and dress on the dress of Gettysburg was hissed. Think of that; the greatest man that ever trod American soil hissed by a city that owes its existence to Northerners! That shows the way the wind blows in the South. Will those people ever realize that God handed this country to us, and set the flag of freedom over all its people? A VIRGINIAN. Birmingham, Ala. —Chicago Daily Inter Ocean. LINES WRITTEN AT A SOLDIER'S GRAVE By George Everett Stone, A. M., of Cleveland, O., at the Odd Fellows' Cemetery, Alexandria, Ind., Thursday, April 29, 1909. The storm is breaking o'er a soldier's grave. One of those who have often saved Our country, our flag, our homes, yes, all! For those yet awaiting that sacred call. He is lying still beneath the sod And his soul has gone to answer God; And as we stand here now to weep May our hearts his sacred honor keep. For we are one in this land of joy, Made so by those hearts without aloy; So place bright flowers upon the grave Of the glorious manhood we went to save. Our country needs the such as him; Let's girdle on our arms with vim And march again to the battle cry Of those who went to do or die. Respectfully dedicated, with kindest regards and best wishes, to Major May Post, No. 244, Department of Indiana, Grand Army of the Republic, at Anderson, for Decoration Day, 1909. Dr. U. S. Beam and Wife Return. Lima, O.—Dr. U. S. Beam, brother of John Beam, murderer of the woman Mrs. Estella Maud Diltz, with his wife have returned to the city from Wakamatsu, where they have been spending a part of the time during the last week or so.

Our Four Regiments Now Have Afro-American Band Leaders Except One—Lincoln Building Company, Etc. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D.C. The trustees of Howard united five law professors. Prof. Cook is a permanent secretary-treasurer of the university. Prof. Cook is at present dean of the commercial department and acting secretary. He is very popular with the faculty, the students and the alumni. He is sound. It is a splendid selection. The total population of the District of Columbia is according to a police census just completed, an increase of 3,800 over the census of last year. The total number of white residents is 245,861; the Afro-American population is 97,142. The total number of white children eight years and over is 4,150; the tending school is 45, and colored children 71. The population of alleys is given as 1,608 white and 13,410 colored. The population of the eight villages and towns outside of the city of Chaplain W. T. Anderson. Washington and in the District of Columbia is 62,825 white and 20,070 colored. Another notable addition to Howard university's faculty was made in the person of Prof. R. R. Wright, Jr., of Philadelphia, originally of Savannah, Ga., who comes by unanimous election to take the newly created chair of sociology and will also be in office for Wilkinson. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and has carried on some sociological investigations among Philadelphia Afro-Americans at the instance of his school. For a number of months he has been serving as editor and business manager of the Christian Recorder, filling the unexpired terms of Dr. H. T. Johnson, who is on sick leave, and the late Dr. Collett. This man has been a friend of Theo E. publishing board to find another man to run the Recorder. William Polk, for many years assistant leader of the Twenty-fourth Infantry band, now stationed at Madison barracks, Sackett's Harbor, New York, has been designated by the war department as chief musician of the regiment. He is also in conformity with the order of ex-President Roosevelt to place Afro-American band masters at the heads of our regimental bands as rapidly as openings could be made for them. This gives the race three of the four band masters provided for our regiments in the army. Chaplain W. T. Anderson of the Tenth cavalry, who ranks as major has been given the rank of Captain. W. E. Gladden of the Twenty-fourth infantry, at Leavenworth, Kan. serving on a board of inquiry. The Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American Ledger, in referring to the Taft administration, spoke our sentiments when it said recently, editorially: "We are not especially anxious for another 'lily-wish' administration.

Boston, Mass.—Bert A. Williams of Williams and Walker made his debut in the vaudeville world alone at Keith's recently, where he is a "headliner." According to the local daily papers he is now a Post; "One of the best numbers was furnished by Bert Williams. His 'That Plenty.' 'Carrie Nation Jones' and 'That Loving Man' were loudly enforced and he was forced to repeat his hit of several years ago, 'Nobody.' His dancing was a perfect scream. His Transcript comments in part as follows: "Bert A. Williams ended his turn with a dance of indifference, a laconic dance, if you will. There seemed to be no end to the entertainment that one man can afford; and when the leader of the orchestra smiles broadly the jokes are bound to have a true humorous savor." One Hundred and Six Years Old. Middleport, O.—The Woodman's memorial services were held Sunday at p. 10. The memorial, Rachael lefttang, better known as "Aunt Rachel" died at Hobson Monday week and was buried last week Tuesday. Funeral services were held at Mt. Moriah church and were conducted by Rev.

Onward, Foraker Scholarship! The importance of the death of the Bartlett amendment to the penal code bill, recently disposed of in congress, cannot be overestimated. This is one "kick" the prejudiced whites of the south did not succeed in giving our people of that section. The old reliable Gazette was on watch, as usual. The very harmful advantage that certain daily papers of the country are taking in the matter of their "Cuban" cartoons, is made very clear in a letter published elsewhere in this paper. Let our people of the various communities protest against such misreatment as we have done in the cases of two Cleveland papers mentioned. According to Dr. Booker T. Washington, the recently deceased Standdard Oil Company magnate, Henry H. Rogers of New York City, "at the time of his death was helping at least sixty-five colored institutions scattered throughout the southland." Judging from this and his exceptional liberality in the case of his home town, Fairhaven, Mass., Mr. Rogers was a greatly and generally misunderstood man. No sane person will question the need of a gymnasium building at Howard university, Washington, D. C. We were greatly surprised recently to learn that it had none—something we were not cognizant of, although we have visited the institution a number of times in years gone by. A determined effort is being made by the Alumni Association of the Institut, to raise a fund of $10,000 which is to be supplemented by $5,000 from the board of trustees, for the purpose of erecting the much-needed building which is to be known as the Alumni gymnasium. All persons able to do so, especially every Alumnus and former pupil of the university, should contribute to this very worthy purpose. It is certainly greatly needed. Contributions should be forwarded to Prof. Kelly Miller, chairman, or Robert A. Pelham, secretary-treasurer of the central committee of the general Alumni Association of Howard university, Washington, D. C. "DRIVING THE NEGRO OUT OF SKILLED EMPLOYMENT." "Every friend of the South will regret the strife on the Georgia railroad, the more because it brings the Negro problem to the front in an unusual and most unfortunate way. According to the dispatches, there is a violate outbreak against Negroes acting as firemen on railroad engines, a work they have been doing for years. There has been an unwritten law to the effect that they could not become engineers. Negroes have been pulled from trains and brutally beaten by white people along the railroad line. Transportation is paralyzed and great inconvenience to the public has resulted. There have been only a few serious efforts made to shut the Negro out of trades requiring skilled labor which he is fitted to perform. There are about ten millions of Negroes in the South and it is impossible to force them all to unskilled labor. "Schools like Tuskegee and Hampton are turning out Negroes trained to do many different kinds of work requiring skill, and the South as well as the North has approved the influence of these schools. One hope indulged, both by the South and the Negro, was that many of the race might become skilled laborers, giving the South a working force of which it is in such great need, while furnishing the Negro means to unify himself. "It is simply impossible to keep a race that is fitted to do skilled labor employed in work requiring only unskilled labor. A country which tries to do it is flying in the face of every economic law and must feel the evil effects of its policy if it could be carried out. If the Negro can be driven from one skilled employment, he can be driven from another. But the worst sufferer from such a course would be the state which deprived itself of an efficient body of workmen. There is absolutely no danger of the black race driving the white race to the wall in any competition requiring skill, and fear of such consequence cannot be advanced in support of the Georgia railroad strike."--Baltimore (Md.) Daily News. "COLOR VS. MANHOOD." The following, an excellent editorial from the Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American-Ledger, is worthy of reproduction generally: "We do not suppose there is a country in the world in which people live, and in which one particular race dominates as it does in this county which places so much stress upon color. Hereofore it was either character, might or power, never color. So par- particular is the white man about his color that it needs constant boosting to keep it up. Up to the present it has been that he has claimed to be the superior race, not simply because of his color, but because of his superior knowledge and acumen, but now it is simply a question of color. "The race needs to be kept pure because it is white; it has superior feeling because it is white; it needs to have more money to support it, because it is white; it must hold all positions of honor, profit and trust, because it is white; and eventually it must have the highest places in Heaven or Hades, because it is white." "Such tommy-rot is enough to turn one's stomach almost inside out. Manhood, character, virtue, goodness, truth, honesty, sobriety, all must take a back seat when color is called into the question. If a man has a white skin, that is all he needs. It matters not whether he is a gentleman or a blackguard; whether he is honest or dishonest; whether he is sober or drunk; whether he is dirty or clean; whether he is good or bad; so long as all others. Great heavens, upon what all others. Great heavens, upon what meat has this our Caesar fed that he has grown so great." "Unless the white people of this country leave the color question to settle itself, and allow every man to stand on his own feet and be a man, whether he is black, white, grisley or gray, and make real manhood the true test of all greatness, it will not amount to much. Color is skin deep, but true manhood goes far beneath the skin, and takes hold on righteousness and truth. What difference does it make as to the color of one's skin? It does not prevent either disease or death; it will not be a passport either to Heaven or Hell; it makes no man better or worse, gives no man character nor takes it from him; nor does it lift him up or cast him down. Men who have nothing else but their color to depend upon are the smallest kind of pigmies. True men are men, whether they are white or black, and the sooner men find this out and abide by it, the better for them and for all men." Doings of the Race The Liberian commission is en route home from Monrovia, Liberia. Cuba has a population of 2,050,000, nearly one-third of whom are colored.

THE FORAKER SCHOLARSHIP. Mrs. Patricia Robison, Who First Sug- gested the Idea, Writes Encourag- ingly—Congressman Hollings- worth for Governor. Moro, Oregon, June 1, 1909. Editor Gazale, Dear Sir: I am very glad you are taking up my suggestion of a scholarship at Wilberforce. It seems to me it is the very best way to honor the great senator, and at the same time aid in the advancement of the race. Forced by the very force that beaten by them measure up to the standard set by white men, who have generations of education, culture and freedom behind them, no means of helping the youth of the race should be neglected. And what better means than thus holding up for their admiration and imitation one of the greatest men of our age? Not one spot is on charaer. It is not a charaer. No apologies need be made for him. In every position he measures up to the full standard of American manhood. And since "imitation is the sincerest compliment," and we naturally grow like those we honor and admire, we may well take him for a model for our sons. The race owes him mach, and "in gratitude is the scawhk's mean shame" of the Irish. We are assured. Patrick Ford of the Irish World has raised over half a million dollars for lrt and since 1876, and it all came in small sums, mostly two and two dollar subscriptions. Those who could not give even a dollar gave a dime or a quarter. "Many a nickel makes muckle," the Scotch say. Let's try it! I hope the Republicans will take Senator Foraker's hint and nominate Congressman Hollingsworth to fill the "old guard" to the front and a grand victory would be the result. Taft is acting just as we might expect. He is not a Republican. He belongs to the Mugwumps. Roosevelt started to train with that crowd of "truly good," but he could not keep on good terms with any man or set of men very long. He remains. MRS. PATRICIA ROBISON. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1909. THE RACE NEEDS HELP, NOT TALK, MR. PRESIDENT! While President Taft was saying pleasant things last week to a mixed audience of 2,000 people, on commencement day at Howard university, Washington, D. C. his representatives, high government officials, were doing a most unpleasant and harmful thing to all of our people in the south, by compelling a Georgia railroad, that had a strike on its hands because it employed Afro-American firemen, to run its trains with white firemen, giving a reason that the United States mail, which had accumulated at a certain point on the railroad, "must be moved." What President Taft should have done to be sincere and consistent, was to have sent federal troops into Georgia to stop the delay of the mail like President Cleveland did some years ago in the case of that strike that centered in Chicago and seriously affected, particularly, all of Illinois and adjoining states just as the Georgia strike has hurt that state and those bordering it particularly. Since his election the president has given us "soft-soap" talk on several occasions, and that is all. Much that he has said relative to the race and all he has done, particularly his un-American "southern policy," has been even more harmful than all he said before his inauguration. No president since the war, not even Presidents Cleveland and Roosevelt, throughout their entire two terms each, were one-half as injurious to the race's progress, as Mr. Taft has proven during the first three months he has been the chief executive of this nation. Of what use is his talk when it is not backed by government as well as personal action? The race, in its present crucial period, needs not hit "not air." Talk has not and will not stop the south's nullifying, in many of its states, sections of the fundamental law of the land, the United States constitution. In planner words, it does not stop its wholesale disfranchisement of nearly a million voters, black and white; nor does it stop the south's "Jim Crowing" interstate passengers, citizens; and robbing our people of other rights guaranteed in the federal constitution including those to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness even through the medium of industrial and other honorable labor. This the president, a jurist, ought to realize more fully than not learned in the law. It seems to us that it is high time a delegation of leading, independent and able loyal members of the race, should call upon the president and make this fact clear to him. It is clear that he is not only wrong in the course that he has mapped out and is following, but that those Afro-Americans, (if any) with whom he has counselled are as wrong in their ideas as to the needs of the race as far as the government is concerned, as President Taft is. is of vital concern and the sooner it is cared for along lines suggested, the better it will be for all concerned. It is too, far and away above the matter of jobs everywhere in this country. To these, too, we are entitled just as are all other potent factors of the Republican and Democratic parties, and in the same way, whether they are given or not. The thing, more than all others, that makes impotent practically all of our so-called "national" race organizations, is talk that is never backed with action. We call upon Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Afro-American Council, to act upon this suggestion of calling upon President Taft for the purpose stated and that only, and to name and lead a delegation of a say a dozen of our very best men who are fearless at least politically, able and loyal and who are not job-hunters. The following from the Chicago Tribune of May 29 is so pertinent that we append jt: The Future of the Negro. "President Taft said to the colored graduates of Howard university that 'never at any time has the future of the Negro as a race appeared more hopeful than at the present day.' That is substantially true, and yet every now and then something happens which weakens the hopes of those who wish well to the Negro. The future of the American Negro depends largely upon the course of the southern whites. They can help him along or they can help him the number of those who would aid him in increasing there are evidences of a determination to prevent his progress by hindering his making a living. "Consider what is going on in the progressive state of Georgia. Its great railroad system is tied up by a strike against Negro labor—by an effort to stop the employment of some black men as locomotive firemen. They are not trained to work in the railroad service. All the engineers are whitees. But the demand is made that the Negro firemen step down and out to make room for white men. The popular feeling along the line of the road is that a white engineer should not be forced to ride on a train. The Negroman. Manifestly there are more Negroes who do not wish the Negro should rise above the status of a field hand. "Complaints are heard continually from the south about the inefficiency of Negro labor. It cannot be other than inefficient if the attempts of the Negro to make himself of greater industry value are discouraged. Any effort to make better work well should be encouraged to do well. "The south clamors for white labor. It inhites foreign immigration, and when the immigrants come it makes oeons (slaves) out of some of them. Foreign governments feel constrained to advise emigrants not to go south. There are so many southern employers who have not learned how to treat emigrants. They radical change the south will get comparatively little white labor and will have to depend on Negro labor. "Therefore, if business principles ruled at the south there would be a general endeavor to make that labor as valuable as possible. There would be no driving of the Negro from occupations he is competent to fill. There would be no tie of the Negro railroad. When the south gives up utterly the vicious practice of obstructing the industrial advancement of the Negro beasts as to his future will disappear." The Tribune might have added that the white labor unions that draw a color-line on their Afro-American brethren in the south northeast, are "sowing to reap the whirlwind" in the not too distant future and are but making the already too rough road in the north all the harder for their white brethren to travel. Like the president they are going the wrong way and may learn this when it is to come. ADDITIONAL LOCALS Mr. Robt. Sehon of Minneapolis, Minn., a former resident of this city, has been the guest of his sister, Mrs. Phillip Dennie of E. 59th street, for two weeks. Mr. Henry Thomas, a former resident of Cleveland, now stenographer for the chief of the government buerau of yards, docks, etc. Washington, D. C., was in the city last and this week, visiting friends, and called upon The Gazette several times. We wish to call our readers' attention to the "Summer Boarders" advertisement elsewhere in this paper and to impress them with the fact that the place referred to in it is ideal in almost every respect for those wishing to smoke for a short or long period during the coming summer months. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Carter are excellent people who are splendidly situated and located on a large well-defined lake near Lake Erie. They are prepared to the very best care of a limited number of the right kind of people and at most reasonable rates. Persons desiring additional information can secure the same by addressing or calling upon the editor of The Gazette, who is in recommending Mr. and Mrs. Carter in the strongest possible manner. Here is a sample of the dirty, lying "flings" the prejudiced Cleveland Daily News thrusts at our people, always with a seemingly overweening desire to lower our people in the estimation of the largest number of people, all desiring to be reasoned. reason Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion, did not go to England as per schedule Tuesday, as because he was chucked from the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse when it was discovered he is a Negro. According to the New York Times, a major reason for J. Johnson; a mysterious person who made no showing of himself. Half an hour before the boat left, his stuff, which had been put aboard, was hurriedly carried out and the reservation canceled by 'phone. Then the boat press agent leaned up against a smokehouse, which didn't enough to make you stop taking such a contemptible sheet? We hope so. We have thought for some time of addressing as many of our thoughtful and far-sighted people as we could reach, on the street manners of some of our young people. We are constantly mortified by their conduct in various parts of the city, where our people often sit in the street cars. Especially do we call attention to the very bad habit of congregating on the street corners. They block the sidewalks, impede traffic, and by their unseemly and comedian-like conduct cause much needless trouble and attract much unfavorable attentions. We are less of the group will indulge in loud and vulgar conversation, while others will enclose in "skylarking," making "monkies" of themselves, and other amateur athletics. This is not only the annoyance and injury of the neighborhood in the wrong way to street car passengers and pedestrians the neighborhood. This offensive conduct hurts the race in many ways. AS TO OUR WEALTH. Progress on Economic Lines—Homes Valued at Nearly a Billion Dollars The latest compiled report of the census bureau shows that the wealth of Afro-Americans, in homes, amounts to the enormous sum of $387, $30,000, or nearly a billion dollars. It is divided as follows: Georgia ..... $80,500,600 Mississippi ..... 77,122,000 Alabama ..... 71,346,000 Louisiana ..... 56,105,600 Virginia ..... 51,412,000 North Carolina ..... 48,882,200 New York ..... 48,392,800 Maryland ..... 48,124,000 Texas ..... 47,767,200 Texas Carolina ..... 44,209,400 Pennsylvania ..... 42,419,000 Tennessee ..... 38,570,000 District of Columbia ..... 35,507,600 Kentucky ..... 34,124,400 Arkansas ..... 30,721,200 Florida ..... 30,286,600 Missouri ..... 23,911,600 Columbia ..... 21,064,400 Illinois ..... 17,696,000 New Jersey ..... 15,573,600 Indiana ..... 15,102,400 Kansas ..... 14,791,600 Indian Territory ..... 12,942,000 Ohio ..... 10,896,800 There are quite a number of states nationwide above as the amount per state is less than $10,000,000; comparative average as given speaks well for our people. MOB-RULE SUPREME. The Associated Press reports that when the news of the so-called "settlement" of the Georgia Railroad strike was received by President Taft at Pittsburg, where he is enjoying himself "swinging around the circle," like his two moral predecessors, Andy Johnson and Rutherford Hayes, he turned to his "Knox" and said: "That's fine, Knox that's fine." The basis of the settlement does not concern Mr. Taft. The questions of wrong or right, law or mob violence, does not enter into the system of "policy." As some men will do anything to make money, others will do anything for their "policy." It's humiliating to every citizen of the republic to think that no higher conceptions are held by men in the higher and highest positions than by the city ward politician. However, Mr. Taft belongs to the Hamlet type of men, who like to philosophize and declare, but who have a "holy horror" of acting. The president was "afraid" that he might have to exert the power of law and order; that is, that he might have to uphold the principle of every lawful form of government against mob-rule and rabble-violence. Rather than do that, Mr. Taft considers any "settlement" acceptable. "That's fine, Knox, that's fine." Whatever one may find admirable in Mr. Taft, his conceptions of political morality are low.

Johnson, who has one of its letters, and who recently returned from a trip to Michigan, the editor of the Cleveland Toilet paper is sending out circular letters and making personal visits to various members of the race and others in the community, trying to "work" them for the publication. The letter mentioned says, is to pay for the publication of the individual's portrait (cut) and a short biographical or other kind of notice. Johnson said Tuesday that he had refused to become one of Noodym's "good things." Also that he refused to "cough up" $25 or "halt of it" for the publication of his letter, he said. "National" Independent league's "annual" meeting, although urged repeatedly to do so by the aforementioned Noodym. Who'll be the next? The alleged "editor" of the Cleveland Toilet-paper is superintendent of a Sunday school. Here is an advertisement in its last issue: "Starlight Cafe, 2381 E. 14th street. Martin Johnson, Mixologist; J. Hudson, manager; A. D. Boyd, proprietor. "Phone Hard and Pool Rooms. First Class Hard and Pool Rooms. Chinese and American Restaurant. Barber Shop. Hot and Cold Baths." The "Starlight Cafe" is notorious as a saloon with wine rooms, and where gambling as well as the drinking of beers and liquors have been indulged in. It was there the "Starlight" Policy Co. made its headquarters, punishment for connection with which a well-known American attorney, a letter writer, barely escaped, and largely as a result of tearful pleading—according to Chief Kohler. The funeral services of the late Attorney Cass. N. Sellers were held last Friday afternoon at Mt. Zion church, the pastor officiating. They were largely attended. A portion of the services were under the immediate supervision of the Masons, of which order the deceased was a member. Floral offerings, many very beautiful flowers, were presented; Mt.

Found a Cure in Cuticura. "Our son, two years old, was afflicted with a rash. After he suffered with the trouble several weeks I took him to the doctor but it got worse. The rash ran together and made large blisters. The little fellow didn't want to do anything but scratch and we had to wrap his hands up to keep him from tearing the flesh open till the blood would run. The itching was intense. The skin on his back became hard and rough like the bark of a tree. He suffered intensely for about three months. But I found a remedy in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. The result was almost magical. That was more than two years ago and there has not been the slightest symptom of it since he was cured. J. W. Lauck, Yukon, Okla., Aug. 28 and Sept. 17, 1908."

Englishman's Withering Reply. The best of us sometimes forget the beam in our own eyes while we search for a motive in another's.

Predatory Instincts. The inherited predatory tendency of men to seize upon the fruits of other people's labor is still very strong, and while we have nothing more to fear from kings, we may yet have trouble enough from commercial monopolies and favored industries, marching to the polls their hordes of bred retainers. Well, indeed, has it been said eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. God never meant that in this fair but treacherous world in which he has placed us we should earn salvation without steadfast labor—John Fiske. Obedience. Prompt and unquestioning obedience is the corner stone of the foundation of success in life. No man can give orders properly who has not learned to take them, and "save he serve, no man may rule." It will be found that the men who have won their way to positions of power and responsibility have invariably been the men who did not reason or argue or even "respectfully represent," but who promptly did as they were commanded without questioning. It is the large man, not the little man, who recognizes a superior authority. MAKING SUNSHINE It Is Often Found in Pure Food. The improper selection of food drives many a healthy person into the depths of despairing illness. Indeed, much sickness comes from wrong food and just so surely as that is the case right food will make the sun shine once more. An old veteran of Newburyport, Mass., says: "In October, I was taken sick and went to bed, losing 47 pounds in about 60 days. I had doctor after doctor, food hurt me and I had to live almost entirely on magnesia and soda. All solid food distressed me so that water would run out of my mouth in little streams. "I had terrible night sweats, and my doctor finally said I had consumption and must die. My good wife gave up all hope. We were at Old Orchard, Me, at that time and my wife saw Grape-Nuts in a grocery there. She bought some and persuaded me to try it. "I had no faith in it, but took it to please her. To my surprise it did not distress me as all other food had done and before I had taken the fifth package I was well on the mend. The pains left my head, my mind became clearer and I gained weight rapidly. "I went back to my work again and now after six weeks' use of the food I am better and stronger than ever before in my life. Grape-Nuts surely saved my life and made me a strong hearty man, 15 pounds heavier than before I was taken ill. "Both my good wife and I are willing to make affidavit to the truth of this."

Presuming that you would like to know a little of my success in that line, I will say that I have been actively farming under my own supervision for seven years 2,000 acres of fine farming land in Macon County, Mo. I have also studied the conditions in which we have in favorable seasons raised 75 bushels of corn to the acre, 30 bushels of wheat and 2 tons of hay. I have also studied farming conditions in the high priced lands of Illinois and Iowa. My own experience and this observation leads me to believe that if the best farms in any of these States for any five years average 50 bushels of corn to the acre, and that the farmer realizes there are many opportunities to grow and out of this, expense, etc., of raising crops must be deducted. "A year ago I went to the lower Rio Grande Valley in the Gulf Coast Country of Texas and spent some time studying farming conditions there; I found my 20 years' experience on a farm in Bourbon Co. KY, and my long experience in Missouri of great service. So much impressed I was with the vast superiority of farming in the Brownsville, Texas, region, that I bought 160 acres of land near Santa Marina, Texas, and put my son (a college boy) in charge of the farm. I anticipated. He has cut alfalfa sown in January, 1908, 9 times, and realized therefrom 8 tons to the acre, worth $21.50 a ton at Mercedes, Texas, in February. He is now shipping cabbage planted in December, realizing between $200 and $300 an acre, and writes me that from the cabbage, cucumber, melon and bean crop of 40 acres, he will realize over $7,000. He has a fine fig orchard of over 7,000 trees set out in February, 1907, which raised from 10 acres in July and August, 1908, over $100 worth of figs to the acre and the entire crop this year should realize over $100,000. He has two more two years old, are bearing now. One old lemon tree has borne over 2,000 flemons since July, and bananas are growing all the time. In my roamings in Europe and America I have neither seen a country nor a climate that compares with it." --- Absolute Purity NEW YORK W. N. U., CLEVELAND, NO. 24-1909.
