THE GAZETTE TWENTY-SEVENTH TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NO. 40. The New Veils The New Vetus OME of the new vellings for spring are elegant and becoming, and some of them are elegant and not at all being worn when worn directly over the face. The dotted and spotted nets belong to the first class and the fine chantilly vellies that are made in designs with borders belong to the second class. These vellies are worn with wavy lines and a living brim wide enough, to hold them away from the face. They are to hang straight down from the brim all round and to be thrown easily back over the hat, where they form a fine accessory, giving the touch of elegance, which is the mission of good lace. One may buy the chantilly vellies in white, brown, blue or erase as well as in black. But nothing can equal black for elegance. These vellies are very fashionable for this season. The fact that they fail to perform all the func GIRL'S SAILOR DRESS. Serge or linen are the best materials for girls' sailor dresses; the one illustrated here has a well-plaited skirt, the plats arranged from a wide box plait down center of front. The bodice also has a box plait down center of front. The upper part of blouse is pretty cut and joined to the lower part in a wrapped seam. The collar and cuffs are of butcher-blue linen. Material required: Five yards serge 48 inches wide. Round With Ribbon. Persian-patterned pongee is used for sort scarf-like decorations on some of the best new hat shapes of black or dark blue faced with black. The cut edges of this 12-inch wide pongee are bound with 2-inch black tafeta ribbon stitched on by machine. Where wire is needed in the bow it is run through the casing made by the binding. New Poulard. In green, blue and white, a piece of printed chameleon foulard is one, of the best expressions of the season's changeable silk. The green and blue form a shaded background, and the white dot printed over this shadow surface gives an impression of an equal division of the three color notes. New Poulard. [Image of a woman in a hat, with a decorative frame around her head.] tions of the face vell of net or other open meshed tissues, cuts no figure with my lady of fashion. She resorts to a hair net to hold her straying locks in place and lies her on her way rejoicing in the possession of the floating lace, blowing as it will about or away from her face. There are innumerable "complex veils" of all sorts of net with favor leaning toward heavy fibers and rather large dots or figures. They are drawn over the face and about the hat securely and serve the useful purpose of keeping the hair tidy as well as enhancing the appearance. Experts say that these veils appear to heighten the color. Whatever they do women are wedded to them and wear them constantly, using more are each season in making their selections. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. CLOAK FROM PAISLEY SHAWL Without Destroying Valuable Material, Clever Woman Constructed Pretty Garment: A good looking wrap made from a fine old India shawl is soldom seen. One dislikes to cut so valuable an heirloom, and it is difficult to drape without cutting. One woman has solved this problem so that a useful and stylish evening cloak resulted. A yoke was made from dull mahogany toned chiffon velvet that brought out the soft tints in the shawl. This formed a point at the back reaching to shoulder blades, and in front it narrowed to the waist line on cach side. The shawl was draped to this yoke so that it fell in graceful folds. The fullness was shirred slightly in lengthwise gathers just below the yoke at the back, the gathers concealed by two large bronze gold ornaments on each side of bliss fold of velvet. The front of yoke was fastened with hooks and eyes and was crossed by simulated frogs of copper colored braid, with bronze gold ornaments on each side. New Bows. The newest spot for a bow is at the front of the bodice, just below the yoke. This is of a different color from the frocks and is usually made of liberty satin. It is not full and loose, but long and trim. The loops and ends are the full width of the ribbon and are laid out in flat lines. These touch up not only dress costumes for theater, restaurants and informal dinners, but they are worn on simple house frocks. The more vivid colors are used to give brilliancy to simple gowns such as white, gray or black. Among the colors are apple green, plum, purple, parrot green, turquoise, blue, geranium, red and, black, with rhinitic center. A. Plain Tunic. One of the plaitest and most easily accomplished tunics for the amateur is an oblong square of coarse net hung over a silk or linen costume at both front and back. They reach from the band to almost the hem, and are slightly gathered at the girdle line. Their finish is a strip of insertion or of ribbon velvet, mitered at each lower corner and invariably sewed on by hand to insure the net against pulling and drawing. In the case of the somewhat slant figure, the separate halves of this plain tunic are held together at each side by bows of the ribbon velvet or by straps of the insertion. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. New Bows. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. MR. BENSON M'ILRATH. Descended from "Underground Rail road" Stock of the Days Before the War of the Rebellion—A Friend of the Race We All Should Be Glad to Vote For. The editor of The Gazette takes real pleasure in announcing the candidacy of Mr. Benson Mellrath, a true friend of the race, for a Republican nomination (three to be nominated for county commissioner). Primaries, Tuesday, May 17. Mr. Mellrath was born in East Cleveland, also his father, grandfather and great-grandfather of the most active kind, the grandfather being a leader in the "Underground Railroad" work in this section. Many a poor slave was secreted in his barnhoft, fed, cloth, carried at night to the lake and sent across it to Canada and freedom. LIBERTY! Now comes Mr. Benson Mellrath, standing upon his own record as a true friend of the race, asking our support at the primaries. He is the man in preference to any and all other candidates for the position because it knows our people can depend upon his doing more for them as county commissioner than any of the many other candidates. The first petition ever filed in our county commissioners' office to construct a road, was filed by the Mellraths. Benson Mellrath is a trustee of the Mellraths in this county. The entire family has always been staunch Republicans and friends of the race. This is Mr. Mellrath's first attempt to secure an office. He has been in the real estate business in this city and county for years. Remember to vote for him on May 17th JOHN H. COX. A Strong Candidate for the Republic can Nomination for County Clerk. The three, cornered fight for the nomination for the office of county clerk on the republican ticket is developing considerable interest in political circles. John H. Cox, who was the first candidate to enter the filing by a large number of signatures to petition, clinched his claim to preference by an additional filing just before the books were closed and placed second with over 5,000 nominations on the board of elections. One of the strong points favoring Mr. Cox in this campaign is the fact that he went over the ground quite thorny. John H. Cox. oughtly in the same way three years ago when he lost the nomination by a very narrow margin. At that time he gracefully went behind the entire ticket and gained a large number of friends for the way in which he assisted the party at the election. John H. Cox was born and reared on the West Side and attended college for years ago he entered the employ of the Western Union Telegraph Co. as a messenger boy and by close attention to business has risen to the position of cashier. His courteous treatment of all who have business with the company has gained him a host of friends throughout the city and his efficiency in his position has not only gained him the respect of his employers but given him a training which will allow him to become a worker of the Republican party Mr. Cox has been known for many years. For three terms he was president of the Third Ward- Republican club, terminally known as the J. B. Feraker club, one of the oldest and most prominent Republican clubs of the West Side. He was president of the Cuyahoga County League of Republican clubs and one of the most ardent workers for the bogue's large annual picnic parties of the summer. The Republican party of half a score of other Republican organizations in which he has had an interest due to the fact that for several years he has been about the count. ity in the interest of the league organizing clubs, installing officers and generally assisting in the upholding of club organizations. Mr. Cox is a member of the Chamber of Industry, the active civic organization of the county, and many social organizations. Mr. Cox has positively stated that if elected to the position of county clerk he will make all efforts to give the taxpayers an efficient administration, looking more to the fitness of his deputies for their relative positions than for any other reason. He believes that a co-operative society must all litigants at court may be assured of a fair and impartial trial. In the matter of making out pension papers for soldiers' widows and like matters concerning the public he will insist on the utmost courtesy pervading his office. From the most like-able and most unpleasant which box Cox conducting his campaign he has gained alike friends and will add much to the strength of his ticket if nominated. CARVED WITH A RAZOR.

The large bill on Main street was tiled last week Friday evening to hear the editor of The Gazette lecture on "Some Brilliant Men and Women of the Race," under the auspices of Bethel A. M. E. church, Rev. O. W. Childs, pastor. In introducing song, the latter took evening, after a song, a brief review of occasion and services to the race of The Gazette and its aggressive editor, saying many well-deserved and complimentary things that roused the audience to great applause. For one hour and three quarters Mr. Smith talked in such a manner as to repeatedly raise the present to the greatest edification. At "the close there came many calls from the audience for him to "go on," "don't stop," ete, and a most cordial and unanimous invitation to "come again soon and lecture for us."

New York City—"The first right of man is to earn his living, and in that right the Republican party is not protecting the citizens." Mr. Du Bois owed the Republican party has been paid. The party has betrayed him. He should divide his vote." "The Republican party was swept into power by sentiment. For twelve years it has lived through commercialism. I never believed in buying an election, and never will. If the rich purchase elections there is an end to free government." "Prof. Du Bois is the leader of the Negro race, not Booker T. Washington." In Republican politics the general has always been looked upon as the man to get the vote of the Negroes, because of their faith in him. He was a strong abolitionist. As an editor in Iowa he was an enthusiastic advocate of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, and as a Republican he fought for their observance. "Hooker Washington may be a bright or well educated man, but he is not the leader of his race. The leader of the Negro race is Prof. Du Hois, who demands that he earn his living and enjoy the benefits of citizenship guaranteed to him by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. I am not speaking of social equality. That is something that can be settled by every family in its own way. He was a champion in the world than whites. We deprive the Negro of his rights, and then, when the time comes, expect him to do his duty as citizen and soldier." There was no bitterness in the general's tone. It was the kind of taint that came from a boy, ran a station of the "underground railway," a task delegated to him by John Brown. GOV. HARMON'S COLOR LINE. Xenia, O. - Supt. Ed. Sawyer, or Cleveland) continues to draw the color-line at the Ohio Soldiers and Snailers' Orphans' Home, here, a state institution, with the full approval of Gov. Judson Harmon, to whom protests after protests have been made for quite a year. Last week Sawyer separated our boys at the home from the "whites," placing them in the town's African-American matron, a Miss Powell of Cleveland. Several months ago he separated our girls from the others. The German; Irish and other classes are NOT separated; only ours. The "white" and Afro-American inmates are not allowed to associate together any more than is possible. They are now separated in the dining room of the town's jail in ball games, etc. Edw. Sawyer don't know his and Gov. Harmon's business when it comes to an exhibition of the rankest kind of race and color prejudice against our people. There will soon be a reckoning, however. -Election this fall: THANK GOD! Lenox Found in Tenement. Leper Found in Tenement. New York City.—A Bellevue hospital physician found Mrs. Proft dence Mascari, who died from Baltimore when she was pronounced a leper, in an act of self-immunization. She was lying on a cot, with an eight-month-old baby pressed to her bosom. In the squalid apartment were five children, besides her own baby, a young woman and two men and their wives. They have been ministering to the sick woman. Mrs. Mascari will be isolated. Risk Lives for Maskots Akron, Q. - Two bear cubs, captured at the risk of the lives of two men who entered the bear pits at Silver lake, have been shipped to Chicago as mascots for the Cubs baseball club. Silver lake is the only spot in the United States where bears are successfully raised in captivity. Manager Lodge received a telegram asking for two cubs. He shipped them after James Spindler and Ed Sam honey, employees, escaped the mother bear by jumping behind the iron gate after lasing the cubs. Chinese Spread Death and Ruin. Washington, D. C.-News of the most alarming nature is being received by the state department and by heads of foreign mission associations throughout the country from Hunan province, China, where the anti-foreign demonstrations have broken out with renewed and greater fury. Reports have been received that thousands of natives are running riot through Changsha and other parts of the province. It is said that a technical school was destroyed and that 20 native students are dead.

Galveston, Tex., citizens have started a fund to erect a marble monument to the old Negro "mummy" of the south, to cost about $500,000, of which $200,000 is pledged. A little decent treatment for "mummy's" children and grandchildren would be far better. Our people, the country over, ought to protest at once to their national senators and representatives against the gross injustice of the report of the "Brownsville" court of inquiry in refusing to re-enlist all but 14 soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry while admitting they discovered no soldier guilty. Twelve Afro-Americans badly beaten, one "white" man seriously injured and, the entire Afro-American population of Coleman, Tex., of between 150 and 200, driven out of town, was the result of a mob's work which began there at 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon and was kept up until far into the night. Southern "civilization." Forty Afro-American enumerators, mostly Howard university students, who passed the civil service examination, have been assigned to census work in the District of Columbia. They are not allowed by President Taft to cover "white" residential districts, nor to take the census of "white" citizens in their own districts. What do you think of that? DERRICK VS. WASHINGTON. Bishop W. B. Derrick preached an inspiring, sermon Sunday morning, April 24, at St. John's church, this city, confining himself principally to admonish the church to live up to its faith, not only by words but by action. in a supplementary talk the good bishop, in an unmistakable way, assailed the "white" people, guilty, for their "arrogance" in presuming to attempt to force upon the Afro-American only one "leader" (Booker T. Washington), saying that "We will select our own leader." Bishop Derrick also warned our people to be on guard, because, said he, "there is a powerful force, unseen by many, at work to overthrow our best efforts." He might have truthfully added—to rob us all, north and south, of our suffrage rights and many other of our citizen or civil rights. "Hence hi the midst of success we might fall," continued the bishop. He deplored the sad-condition at Oberlin (advertised in the papers last week), brought about primarily (as the assistant to the President of the College, there, said) by the "doctrine of surrender" preached by Booker T. Washington. Bishop Derrick said that it may tend to prevent him from settling in Oberlin, which he had planned to do after selling his New York property. Rev. Mr. Thompson, Presiding Elder of a West Virginia district of the A. M. E. Church, preached the evening sermon and proved an interesting speaker. In an after talk, Bishop Derrick requested the people to join him in prayer for Richard C. Bundy, a son of Rev. and Mrs. Chas. Bundy of this city, who sailed with him to West Africa, are long, to take up the duties of secretary of the American legation at Monrovia, Liberia. The good bishop claims to be responsible for Mr. Bundy's selection, having requested the President to appoint him to the position, although he had won a higher place in the consular service, in civil service examinations, which was being withheld from him by the Taft administration because of his color and race. Bishop Derrick claims that Mr. Bundy will be promoted whenever "opportunity" presents itself. This latter, of course, providing the "opportunity" will carry a colored race or races. That is Taft's Colored race or races. That is Taft's "new, southern policy." abroad. He started with it in the south, then came north with it, and now he has sent it abroad through the State Department at Washington, D. C. Something unheard of until the advent of Taftism. Again, THANK GOD! we did NOT vote for that great big "mush of concession" and southern-sympathizing semi-yearly resident of "Georgah." ANOTHER BLOW AT OUR RIGHTS. There is now in force in this country a law known as "The Morrill Acts" by which the government makes large donations of money each year to the several states and territories for education in agriculture and the mechanical arts. The amendment of August 30, 1890, to the Morrill acts expressly provides that when but one institution in a state receives the whole appropriation, under said acts, for that state, that institution shall make no distinction an account of race or color in the ad- The time has come for every Afro-American and for every church, society and newspaper among us to protest against the passage of the Boutell amendment, and to do so at once! This inquisitive measure will not pass congress if the voters of the race in the north, east and west will write their congressmen and senators immediately asking them to vote against the Boutell bill (known as Bill H. R. 24316 of the second session of the Slxy-first congress), or against any other bill which seeks to extend to George Washington university the entire benefits under the Morrill acts which may come to the District of Columbia. We suggest that each reader of The Gazette copy and send at once the following protest to their congressman and senator at Washington, D. C.; A PROTEST. To The Honorable ..... Senator (or Member of Congress), Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The undersigned a citizen and voter in your state (or district) protests against the passage by congress of the bill known as "H. R. 24316 of the second session of the Sixty-first congress," or any other bill giving to George Washington university the entire appropriation which goes to the District of Columbia under the Merrill acts, and respectfully ask that you vote against this or any similar measure when it comes up for consideration, because it will discriminate unjustly against my people and also establish a dangerous precedent. Yours very respectfully. Let every' Afro-American, every lodge, society, and church we have send in this protest and do so at once, in order to save the race from unjust discrimination, and wicked, injurious and unlawful class legislation. Turn Immigrants to Farms New York City—Plans for promoting the immigration into New York state to desirable farm laborers are to be taken up for consideration by the New York Produce Exchange at a conference April 27. It is hoped to ect a permanent organization for encouraging such immigration. The scarcity of intelligent farm labor, according to the Produce Exchange's committee, is one of the most serious causes of the diminishing supply of foodstuffs in proportion to the increasing demand and rise in prices. Hyponotism Blamed for Suicide. Hypnotism Blamed for Suicide New York City—Miss Marion E Stephens, one of the earliest members of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, and for many years an active Christian. Selence practitioner killed her sister in a bathroom in the home of her slater, but of her suicide did not leak out until two days after she died and then the astonishing intimation was made officially by a man active in the conduct of the First church that Miss Stephens was under the hypnotic influence of the "Stetsonites." Poor Satisfaction. The man who is thoroughly satisfied with himself isn't with anything else. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1910. PROF. DU BOIS VS. DR. WASHINGTON THE FORMER EXPLAINS HIS POSITION ANENT "THE WIZ-ARD OF TUSKEGEE." A SOUTHERN WOMAN EDITOR Compares the Two Leading Educators—Prof. Du Bois, a Giant Fighter for the Race, Very Properly Insists Upon Both Political and Social Rights—Dr. Washington's News, papers. Editor Springfield (Mass.) Republican—Dear Sir, I cannot refrain from a word in reply to the nameless critic who makes me the occasion for a "biter" attack on Atlanta university; Atlanta university is in no way responsible for my opinions. Long before I went to the institution, it had deserved well of the American nation. Its 600 graduates have made the public system of the South possible. Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois. ble, have helped to make Tuskerege possible and have done and are doing good and effective work. For the philanthropic world to seek to punish me by crippling a great institution for good like this would be indeed hailable. I write my I write my lecture. In so doing I express ideas and convictions. I do not think them "bitter," but they are honest and earnest. How far now ought Atlanta university to be held responsible for my thoughts? Only. And how far are the responsibilities are fragrantly and dangerously erroneous or an offense to decept folk. My anonymous critic, among other things, objects to (1) "classical" as synonymous with "higher" education (2) the demand for political education (3) the Personal criticism of Booker T. Washington. (1) Atlanta university does not give the "old classical education;" it is possible for a person to go through Atlanta university without Greek. Technical and professional courses are offered, as electives, history and social study occupy a large place, our industry is the best in the South and in every way we attempt a broad, liberal course of higher trailing. (2) I do demand political equality for black folk and "social equality," if by that is meant the right of people to associate according to character and gifts and despite such adventures differences as creed or nationality or color. How could I be a man and not demand these things? I take up the current number of questions to distrubish the procurers of prostitutes. Am I willing to be classed with these? Am I justified in admitting that I am not decent enough to associate with decent folk? How difficult it is for an American to understand that a Negro who demands equality with white men is not ashamed of himself. "He must be ashamed, else he'd be content to be a Negro," they argue, and never seem to sense the paradox. It is precisely because of this that we are unlimited faith in my race that I refuse to submit tamely and silently to the unbearable indignities heaped upon it today. (3) The criticism of Mr. Washington is, I freely admit, a more delicate matter. So far as possible I refrain from it. I try always to make up my criticism with due thought, and course to use it as a possible to discuss the Negro problem today and not discuss Mr. Washington. In education, in politics, in literature, in social reform, in every question affecting black folk, Mr. Washington's ideas are prominent and his activities ceaseless. To discuss the Negro problem Mr. Washington is a public personlike that must not only endure but expect criticism. Only in this way can we reach truth. It would undoubtedly be a question of interlocally comity for a professor in Columbia to the University of Harvard college; but if President Lowell became chief political sponsor for New England, owned and conducted one great metropolitan weekly and controlled a dozen others and interfered with nearly every social activity of ten million Americans, he would be American to question honestly Mr. Lowell's wisdom or his accomplishments? I think not. I shall, therefore, insist on my right to think and speak, but if that freedom is made an excuse for abuse of and denial of aid to Atlanta university, then with regret I shall withdraw from Atlanta university lest I harm a worthy institution. But I shall not cease to defend the right and attack the wrong. W. E. B. DUOIHS, Atlanta, Ga. Du Bois and Washington Compared. The whole thing in a nutshell is: That Du Bois and Washington are aiming at the same end, but, like men of every race, they have their individual way of expressing themselves. Washington jolles the white man, and tells him that each one of them know some good Negro, and Du Bois simply calls them a slave. Washington has gone on year in and year out handing out this soft soap to the white South, the fact remains that the yearly supply of lynchings grows apace. We have claimed always that the Negro is where he is today because he has acquiesced in his own undoing. We have always held that the fellow who licks the boots of the man who has his heel on his neck is the one who will continually find himself in the boot-licking business. The Negro who unblushingly traduces and viliifies his own people in order to carry favor with others, soon finds himself where he had reason to believe he had sent the other fellow. Right in Mr. Washington's own state, peonage flaunts itself with all the impudence and arrogance of the period of 1850. And what resource to justice has the Negro? If he escapes the trial, and is hung down the same as a slave, and when caught, he is haled into court, accused of owing the planter a debt, and either sent back to the plantation or to the chain gang! This is a remarkable picture for the sunny South, but it is true in every detail, and can be verified any day in the year. Is it wrangling when a man goes before other men and states such facts as these? Ought to be treated with things and remedy them? Or is it best to go on suffering, and to what end? Will any one contend that the South cannot change these conditions? Will they contend that it does not comport with the dignity of the South to lend aid to a proscribed and worthy people? Will the South sweeten the millstone of proscription, repression and indignities, before the knowledge of which the good people of this country would stand appalled? The South has winked in its own sins of omission and commission long before searchlight and have done with cant and hypocrisy. -Editor Julia Solmers Young in Louisville (Ky.) Standard. WASHINGTON. THE CAUSE! Of the Past Week's Outburst of Prejudice at Oberlin College—His "Doctrine of Surrender!" Oberlin, O. — Undergraduates of Oberlin college are drawing sharp lines of dissimulation against the Afro-American. Old alumni can hardly believe it. Professors and college officials neverless admit that race prejudice has slowly but surely eaten its way into the social vitalities of the institution: Letters of protest are pouring into the college town by the score. Public indemnation meetings are being held by graduates throughout the state. And yet the Afro-American is beyond question barred from enjoying his classmates' privileges in the college. Literally societies which profess to be open to membership without consideration of race or color have lately issued the edict against him. Choirs in churches whose history is a real part of that of the college are turning a deaf ear to the application of the Afro-American singer College boarding houses no longer will allow him to attend at the same table with "whites" of athletes conditions are much the same. An Afro-American can may try for any of the teams, but he finds it hard to land a place. The track team management has issued an ultimatum to our students to the president of Oberlin, said The secretary that the attitude of the undergraduated body toward the Afro-American was due in a large measure to the position held by Booker T. Washington, who says that he will not demand, equally between our people and "whites" "until we are assured of our status in society." "The students at Oberlin," said Mr. Williams, "have taken Mr. Washington at his word on that point and do not feel they are obliged to accept the Afro-American socially." Williams deplores the recent move to ostracize the Afro-American sociality at the college. Prof. L. E. Lord said, "I am sure that there is no more growing sentiment here at Oberlin against the Afro-American than there is all over the country in the colleges and universities. I think the prejudice has increased from the Atlantic to the Pacific tremendously of late. To booklet M. Mahaney, the faculty of Oberlin, however, is opposed to any discrimination along this line. We do not uphold the students in their action." Prof. A. S. Root, acting president of the college, is of the same opinion. E. J. Goodrich, one of the college trustees, said Tuesday night that he did not believe the present uprising was justified. He said that this prejudice is stirred up by only a few men and by no means reflects the true spirit of the academic body. Deposed Clerk Demands Pay of D.A.R. Washington, D. C.

Mitchell, associate professor of astronomy at Columbia university, came to the defense of Halley's comet and firmly asserted that the fly visitor was in no way to blame for the remarkable series of weather disturbances which have been common of late through the present. "No," said the pro- fessor, "it is its an absolute certainty that the comet is as innocent as I am of the weather offenses. It can have absolutely no effect on weather conditions." Crucial Man Will Recover Washington, Pa., -George Rabish, the foreign minister who was twice enriched by angry countrymen at the Avella mines of the Pitsburg & Washington Coal Co., in this county, will recover according to coal company officials. Superintendent Neiser and General Manager Rogas are greatly incensed over the reports sent broadcast that Rabish had been killed by his tormentors and assert positively that the man has been declared out of danger. Officers of the company have endeavored to conceal the affair. Once again we round our people that Mayor Earle had nothing to do with the Dr. Date appointment. It was the board of the company that made the Maschke stealthy refuse to give us the recognition desired—dierkships or a higher grade of appointments. "Hewers of wood and drawers of water!" HIRSTIUS GUILTY SAY BOTH OF THEM CITY CLERK WITT AND DIRECTOR SPRINGBORN GIVE INSIDE INFORMATION. WHY STREET WAS NOT OPENED The Gazette Was Right in Its Contention, as usual—Our Refusal to Support Hirstus and Others Fully Justified—Some Interesting Letters. As is well-known The Gazette was bitterly opposed to the election of Sheriff Gun Hirstus, because when he was appointed (12th ward) Hirstus refused to permit a street to be cut through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry street and Greenwood street, because a few prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to do so "because colored people would come through" the street from Cedar avenue and "peer into their windows." He withdrew an ordinance before the council authorized the proper city authorities to cut the street through at the above mentioned point. diced Cedar avenue residents. When he was reelected to the council, Hirsius, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but steadily refused to keep his promise. The folly leaving his pertinent and self-epiphany. Read the letters carefully and thoughtfully. Cleveland, Nov. 19, 1909 Mr. Peter Witt, City Clerk Sir. Just before election, Councilman Bristol taude a statement in a politi- cal letter to the effect that he had passed an ordinance, resolution or something in the city council, providing for cutting a street through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between East Twenty-second and East Twenty-eighth streets, opposite Shell club, through passed by the council, in only last (the work of cutting the street through) has been held up ever since by director Springham or some one else connected with the city gov- ernment, much, if any, truth is there in his claim? Last year at the same principal introduced an ordi- nation, resolution or something in the council, providing for cutting a street through, not whether or not the resi- tion ordinance or whatever it was referred to, was ever passed by the council, and why the street was not out through at that time? By compi- ting with the above requests at your own request, you will greatly meet me. Your truth is. HARRY C. SMITH Editor The Gazette Nov. 22, 1908 Roy H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette Dear Sir, On July 9, 1906, resolution No. 228 by Mr. Hirstius provided for the opening of East Twenty-fifth place to Coler Avenue. It passed the three month period of the provement was not made for the reason that Mr. Hirstius did not want it. His reasons for not wanting it, I have been informed, were and possibly are that the people in the immediate vicinity of the proposed opening did not want people of your face to come through. In May of the present year there was a resolution introduced, and passed in June, booking for the make-up of the street. The Coler avenues about opposited street. This improvement was never made for the reason that the money in possession of the city through the sale of bonds was for the opening of new streets. It is the custom of the administration to defer to the wishes of councillors for ward improvements, and to defer to the wishes of the provement at East Twenty-fifth place war not made was because of race prejudice which Mr. Hirtius listened to. Would suggest that you call up Mr. Springham and get from him a congratulation of what I have given to you as a mentor. Very truly yours. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor of Gazette — Lois H. C. Smith, Author of the MH host, with reference to the enclosed letter from Mr. Witt, would say that the facts are as Mr. Witt states, and had Mr. Hirstius desired to have East Twenty-fifth place opened through to Cedar avenue, it would have been done long ago. At the time it was proposed to make this meeting with him a committee at the close of one of the council meetings. The committee represented the property owners and residents on Cedar avenue, where the improvement was intended to be made. They protested against its opening, and the result was that the committee did not have it made, AND ASKED ME TO HAVE NO FURTHER STEP TAKEN IN THE MATTER. It was not until recently that the case which we had started in court to condemn the property was dismissed. We have always made it a rule, to act as a witness in the case, and the civilian representing the word on which improvements of this kind are to be made. It therefore exists that MR. HIRSTius ALONE IS TO ELAME FOR NOT HAVING THE STREET OPENED. Very sorry.

MOORE, Prop. Dahoney Park, Dayton, O. GUEST SIGNED THE RECEIPT Caused Some Discomfort, Perhaps, But There Was No Doubt About His Being Called. The proprietor of a certain hotel on the Maine coast had been much har- assed by the accusations of guests who "overstept," and thereby failed to make connections or keep appoin- tments. They invariably insisted they had never been called, abused his企 業 as well as himself, and de- clared they would never stop with him again. Of course they usually did stop, but that did not altogether even matters from the proprietor's standpoint. At last, after long and anxiou thought, he hit upon a plan which seemed calculated to insure justice and satisfaction to all parties. It was one of the most abusive of his patrons under the old regulations on which the new scheme was first tried. He had retired with reiterated injunctions to wake him in time to catch that 5 o'clock train. It was midwinter. The proprietor had learned by experience how difficult of persuasion is a sound sleeper in a warm bed at that hour of the morning. At quarter past 4 there was a loud rap upon the guest's door. No answer. Then a still louder summons. What's the matter?" came the response. "Get up quick, sir—please," in a tone of excitement, and sign this receipt." "Receipt?" "Yes, sir; here it is and here's the pencil. Right quick, sir, please. It's very important—won't take you a minute, sir, to sign it!" Muttering incoherently, the guest stumbled out of bed. The very strangeness of the demand had aroused him as doubtless no ordinary summons could do. Unlocking the door, he thrust out his hand, confused ideas of registered letters, checks, legacies, crowding upon his, half-awakened senses: The paper which he drew inside bore the date and "Called at 4:15 as requested. Sign here." Youth's Companion. Safe Drink. "Is there anything a man can drink," asks the hollow-eyed individual, "that won't favor his breath so everybody will know he has been indulging, and that won't make him get noisy after four or five drinks of it, and that won't make him stay out nearly all night, and that won't make him feel like the devil and all the next morning?" There is," answers the man with the red nose, "I've drank everything, and I know what I'm talking about. "What is it, then?" Misleading. "You are too haughty in your demeanor toward strangers," says the cuddled friend. "Well, what of it?" asks the haughty man. "Considerable of it," explains the friend. "A little natural pride and personal reserve is commendable, but when a man gets to acting so cheerful as you do, it makes people the impression that he is a hotel worker on his day off."

PLEASES SCHURMAN Cornell President Sees Good in Big Philanthropy Schene. Eclectic Congress Should Grant Request for National Charter—Would Change Only One Small Detail. Elizabeth, N. Y. — In an address before the Council congress on Friday night President Jacob Gould Scherman of Cornell commended the scheme for the Rockefeller foundation for which congress has been asked for a national charter. President Scherman devoted his entire speech of several thousand words to this subject and in summing up he said: "I recognize that section No. 2 of the bill, which defines the object of the Rockefeller foundation, authored and empowered that foundation to do anything and everything which may move and advance human civilization, that is to say, moors and religion, art and science, infusers and social institutions, and all that concerns the welfare of individuals and communities. This is a vast field for the next 10 years." But Mr. Rockefeller has created a just one of philanthropy's most heartfelt of his fellow citizens and most kind. His character, ability and compassion skill are adequate indicators that he will carry out his mission wisely and successfully, with compassionable heart and obedience in mind. It is in the interest of the society that he be given a free agent in the exercise of his college's leadership. So long as he is active in his influence pursuits, it would be wise and easy to give the foundation the net of organization he desires. So now the novel he never does it seems necessary to limit the scope of his benevolence, which is coextensive with the efforts of menkind to attract a bigger civilization. "The only change I would desire to see in the proposed bill is the total or partial elimination of the method of selecting trustees by cooperation. The organization might well be left a free compaction, if Mr. Rockefeller does for a generation. But after that time I am confident that it would both to the efficiency of the foundation and to the public welfare—to say nothing of the satisfaction of the sentiment of a democracy—if the majority of the United States were to devote the United States, with the advice and consent of the senate, or selected by some other high adding, government agencies that may help be regarded as representing the people of the United States, whose welfare is the primary object of the increase and glorious benefaction."

Dan has held clerk positions in the local and St. Louis Post Offices that we do not believe many of Bachr's clerks could fill properly. Do you like being condemned to the plane of "hewers of wood and drawers of water", and your educated children, too, and by such men? Think it over and YOU will not have to recall the "Minnie" incident or the park trees' destruction to reach a conclusion. OBERLIN'S COLOR LINE. There is one thing which the daily newspapers' heralding, the past week, of the astonishing growth of race and color prejudice in the college at Oberlin, has done and done well. It has made too plain for controversy something we have so very many times in recent years called our readers' attention to, and that is, the fact that Booker T. Washington's continued preaching of his "doctrine of surrever" here in the north is injuring all of our people along a citizen's right line, a thousand times more than his school at Tuskegee, an excellent thing, is helping the race. Read carefully what Prof. Williams, the assistant to the president of Oberlin college, says in our Oberlin letter published elsewhere in this paper, and be convinced. The same statement he has sent out throughout the country in the daily press, the past week, is frank and says that the students and others in Oberlin, and throughout the country, Dr. Washington as our "leader" and that they are taking him at HIS word when they draw the various color-lines on our students and people in the little college town of Oberlin for years, ever since the war of the rebellion, and before it, was justly celebrated for its freedom from that very thing, and for the exceptional encouragement it and the college gave Afro-American youth and all to aspire to the best, especially all the rights of citizenship, socially, politically and otherwise, that all Americans are equally entitled to. It ought to be perfectly clear to all our people. NOW, that Tuskegee is entirely too expensive a luxury while Mr. Washington persists in preaching his "doctrine of surrever" (made so very plain in Dr. Du Bois' letter and the N. Y. Evening Post, editorial), published on our first page today.) Agents Making $50 a Week Selling Starch Enamel.

Stop Women And Consider This Fact that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman—a woman whose experience with women's diseases covers twenty-five years. The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever since her decease continued to advise women. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. Such questioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION: Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn. Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been, established this confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Never has she published a testimonial or used a letter without the written consent of the writer, and never has the company allowed these confidential letters to get out of their possession, as the hundreds of thousands of them in their files will attest. Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pinkham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed in your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

ROOTS THAT NEEDED SOAKING Pat at Least Told the Exact Truth in His Application for Whisky. The town of Dedham is under prohibition law, apothecaries alone being permitted to sell alcoholic stimulants. The other day a son of the Emerald Isle entered a drug store there, and, taking a bottle from his pocket, asked for a quart of whisky. The salesman asked to what use it was to be put, and the reply was: "To soak roots in it." The order was filled, and the clerk, after handing over the bottle and its contents, inquired, in a conversational manner: "What kind of roots are you going to soak?" Pocketing the bottle, the customer said: "The roots of my tongue, be jabers!" —Argonaut Storyteller (1886). A. Great Surprise.

Practical Fashions LADIES' DRESSING SACQUE. Paris Pattern No. 3223. All Seams Allowed.—The striking feature about this breakfast or bedroom garment is its attractive neatness, it having almost the trimness of a shirt waist, this being contributed to by the pretty and comfortable Dutch collar, the tucked back and the tunic.

A young girl, incoercibly given to slang, went with her mother to the funeral of an aunt. The dead woman had been strikingly handsome in life, and her features retained all their attractiveness. "How do you think Aunt Blanche looked?" asked the mother when they had viewed the corpse. Enthusiasmically the child replied: "Dead swell, didn't she, mother?"

"So you think your boy is a prodigy? But every man thinks his own son is the most wonderful being that ever breathed." "I tell you this youngster is remarkable, no matter how you may sneer. I've seen him do a thing that I don't suppose any other boy of his age could possibly do." "What's his specialty? Mathematics?" "Mathematics? I should say not. He hasn't any more of a head for figures than I have, and learning the multiplication table was the hardest work I ever did in my life." "In what branch of science does he seem to be particularly interested?" "He isn't interested in science at all; but the other day a friend of mine who has a big automobile left the machine standing in front of my house for more than half an hour, and, although the boy was playing around outside all the time he did not once climb into the automobile or even toot the horn." Civilization and Missions. There is a question that is larger than government or trade, and that is the moral well-being of the vast millions who have come under the protection of modern governments. The representative of the Christian religion must have his place side by side with the man of government and trade, and for generations that, representative must be supplied in the person, of the foreign missionary from America and Europe. Civilization can only be permanent and continue a blessing to any people it, in addition to promoting their material well-being, it also stands for an orderly individual liberty, for the growth of intelligence and for equal justice in the administration of law. Christianity alone meets these fundamental requirements. The change of sentiment in favor of the foreign missionary in a single generation has been remarkable. Have Their Troubles Samuel Gompers, at the recent convention in Washington of the Civic Federation, said of children: "Children should be protected from wage slavery, for, when free as air, they have enough trouble, dear knows. "Walking along an East side street, I came on two tiny tots, the smaller of whom was bawling as if to break his lungs. "A window opened and a little girl shrieked: "Tommy, who's been a hittin' of ye? "Nobody's been a hittin' of him, the larger tot answered. 'He's swallowed a worm.'" POSTUM FOR MOTHERS The Drink That Nourishes and Supplies Food for Mother and Child. "My husband had been unable to drink coffee for several years, so we were very glad to give Postum a trial and when we understood that long boiling would bring out the delicious flavour, we have been highly pleased with it. "It is one of the finest things for nursing mothers that I have ever seen. It keeps up the mother's strength and increases the supply of nourishment for the child if partaken of freely. I drank it between meals instead of water and found it most beneficial. "Our five-year-old boy has been very delicate since birth and has developed slowly. He was white and bloodless. I began to give him Postum freely and you would be surprised at the change. When any person remarks about the great improvement, we never fail to tell them that we attribute his gain in strength and general health, to the free use of Postum and this has led many friends to use it for themselves and children. "I have always cautioned friends to whom I have spoken about Postum, to follow directions in making it, for unless it is boiled fifteen or twenty minutes, it is quite tasteless. On the other hand, when properly made, it is very delicious. I want to thank you for the benefits we have derived from the use of your Postum."

Anderson of Maidstone, Sask. was formerly of Minnesota and has been in Central Canada three years. On January 16, 1910 he writes: "Arriving fifteen miles from Maidstone, I bought a couple of steers from a rancher, as my capital was not bare, and with the two oes I brought with me, I broke 25 acres which I put in crop in 1905 and had to clear some brush. I earned $15.00 by breaking fifteen acres for a neighbor and during the summer I put up hay and handed timber and put up houses for other settlers. Notwithstanding a heavy frost on August 12th, I had 221 bushels of wheat per acre, and 60 bushels of oats. Off 25 acres of wheat in 1909, I got 27 bushels of wheat per acre, and 1,300 bushels of oats off 20 acres. I never saw such fine wheat anywhere. We have plenty of rain between May and August and after August seldom any but dry warm days. Water can be had at from 20 to 40 feet and plenty of grass for cattle." The evidence of Mr. Anderson is given because it is encouraging to the man of small means who is desirous of bettering his condition. It shows what can be done, and there is really but small limit to the man with push and energy to become wealthy on Canadian lands. And the grain that he raises is good. A press dispatch says: The quality of the wheat continues to be the feature of the deliveries. In the total of 3,378 cars in the February inspections there were 2,847 of high grade stuff, a percentage of 84.28. For January the percentage was 82.21, and for the six months it was 88.6. This is an unusually high average, and it demonstrates beyond the shadow of a doubt that the farmers in this part of the Dominion still know how to grow first-class wheat. The crop of 1098 was considered good enough, and its average of contract wheat was only 70 per cent. Good weather throughout the season was an important factor, of course, in insuring the high quality of the grain, and it is not likely that atmospheric influences of so favorable a character will be encountered for a long time to come. The best that can be expected is that a fair average for a term of years will be maintained. HIS IDEA. Hix—Why does Henpeck kiss his wife so much? Dix—To prevent her talking, I guess "This is a nice business," said the grocer to a Cleveland reporter. "I sell to the very best people in Cleveland, and by the very best I mean the folks who want good things and who pay for them—folks who know how to get the best goods at the price of poorer ones. Take Easy Task soap as an example. It is increasing in demand every day. The reason is that it does half the work itself, and the women know that. Yes, Easy Task not only works by itself, but it sells itself." Saving His Life. A story is told of an Englishman who had occasion for a doctor while staying in Peking. "Sing Loo, greatest doctor," said his servant; "he save my life once." "Really?" queried the Englishman. "Yes; me tellable awful" was the reply; "the caller in another doctor. He give me medicine; me yell, yell bad. Me caller in another doctor. He come and give me medicine, make me yell, yell badder. Me caller in Sing Loo. He come. He save my life."
