THE GAZETTE Afternoon Dresses O Angel TWENTY-SEVEN Afternoon HE costume shown on the left is a pretty dress of rose collenne; the skirt has a plain front, also sides and back to just past the hips; the lower HE costume shown on the left is a pretty dress of rose collenno; the skirt has a plain front, also sides and back to just past the hips; the lower part is then finely tucked and joined on under a wrapped seam. Piece lace forms the yoke and under-sleeves, the former is edged with three rows of narrow braid, and a plating of material or silk; below this the material is finely tucked all over, except where a strip of insertion is taken over the shoulder; this also edges the over-sleeves. Materials required: Seven and a half yards collenno 42 inches wide, $ \frac{1}{2} $ FOR THE SUMMER CURTAIN Window Draperies May Be Dainty, Though of the Simplest Styles and Materials. Dainty curtains for a bedroom in the summer home may be made from dotted swiss in coln size, widely scat- tered. Make the curtains to the sash with a five-inch hem down the fronts and across bottom, or the hem should be wide enough for three lines of dots. Using each dot for a basis, work in a daisy design in colored mercer- ized cotton. Make the petals with loops of the threads as in lazy daisy stitch, bringing them all to center of dot and spreading on circumference where they are caught with a tiny stitch. These daisies may be all in one color; in two tones of a given shade, or even two contrasting shades. The coloring should be alternated. For instance, where there are three rows of dots in the hem the two outer ones can be worked in a pale yellow, and the center in orange; or every other dot should be light and the following dark. Where more color is wanted the hems can be turned up on right side, mitered at corner and the hemming covered with a line of brislattting, or in two rows of half-inch chain stitch to correspond in color with the dots. TO PROCURE BORDURE EFFECT Many Ways by Which Style, Just Now So Popular, May Be Achieved. Bordered materials, which are the "borders" of the French, are having renewed success owing to the tunic line and the plaited short skirt. Pattern dresses all show a certain decorated portion ready for use as a tunic; or else a sufficient length of print or embroidery in depth suited to a skirt. Painting with stencilboard and dyes has been resorted to on sheer volles to bring about the bordure effect, while the appliqué cut from cretonne or chintz is frequently applied to the garment proper and draped with chiffon to soften the possible crudeness of the hasty work. The bordure is to be got by various methods. One device is the appliquing of motifs of cluny upon handkerchief linen and the enhancing of this knee-deep work by powdered patterns of hand embroidery in coarse Japanese work. This form of flat embroidery, too, has been employed alone to give a bordure effect to the tunic and the fichu, which often match. Tucks to Curve Sleeve. Made on rather straight lines, the best blouse sleeves of sheer linen show from five to seven tiny tucks crossing the front seam of the sleeve just where the sleeve naturally wrinkles with the turn of the arm. You see, these will give the desired the necessary curve, and you may select the exact position for your own exclusive plaits by trying on the blouse with the sleeve in place and secured at the armhole, and by observing the wrinkles at the turn of the arm. dozen yards braid, 3½ yards insertion. The other design shows an equally pretty style carried out in lobella blue satin cashmere; the skirt has a plain upper part cut in a point at the back, and edged with a strap of the material; groups of buttons and loops are also sewn in front; the lower part is tucked where it joins the upper. Jet ornaments trim the bodice below yoke, which is of finely tucked ninon. The upper part of sleevé is tucked; below this are two puffs divided by a jetted band; the drop cuff is of tucked ninon. Materials required: Eight yards satin 42 inches wide, 1 yard tucked ninon. LANCIES OF FASHION Bordered materials make many summer gowns. Plumes to match the gown are used on black hats. In Paris, short-skirted evening gowns are fashionable. New combing jackets are made of flowered cretonne. "Some of the cotton foulards are as beautiful as the silks. Hats of black straw are seen trimmed with silver braid. Crochet lace is smart on gowns, jabots, blouses and even on hats. Cornflower yellow is one of the newest shades for evening gowns. There is a craze for brown and many new shades have been shown. Many of the new turbans are trimmed with huge bows of changeable ribbon at the back. Parasols are seen with long, fantastic handles of carved wood, such as elephant and bulldog heads. HOME-DRESS. This is an elegant style, and would make up to perfection in amethyst fine face cloth. The skirt is very pretty; it has a tunic or over-skirt cut with a point at the back, and the right side of front crossed over to the left; the underskirt is then cut in a train, and edged at the foot by silk embroidered insertion, which also edges the overskirt and trims the waistband, that gives a slightly high-waisted effect in front. Rucked chiffon is used for the under-sleeves and yoke, the material is set plainly to yoke, and brattelles are taken over the shoulders and trimmed with insertion, the over-sleeves are trimmed to match. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. PETER H. President of the Cuyahoga County League of Republican Clubs—A Friend of the Race. John H. Cox, the progressive and energetic candidate for the Republican nomination for the office of County Commissioner is conducting one of the clearest histories of the cleanest history of local politics. In his speeches and organization he has fought his opponents fair but is giving the public facts that must nominate him. In Republican politics Mr. Cox has long been known as a fighter who defended the rights of those whom he thoroughly. In many campaigns he has been a valuable party worker. His close connection with the various clubs of the county as president of the Cuyahoga County League of Republican clubs has brought him in constant touch with the most energetic of workers, the large majority of whom are working hard for his success. John H. Cox is a man noted for his many liberal characteristics. He is utterly devoid of any prejudices, meeting with equal courtesy andability of men all of races, eras and ages, and men who chain John H. Cox as a close friend and on several instances he has gone far out of his way to favor some of our people. Mr. Cox is a man well fitted by years of training for the office of County Clerk and his nomination and election will be a move to better and more equitable administration of the office in the interests of all the people. OUR MINISTERS GATHER The Eastern District's Grand Showing — Presentation — Praise, "I'll Use 'The'." Newark, O.-The eastern district of the North Ohio Annual Conference met here. April 26 to 28, Rev. Chas Bundy, P. E., presiding. This was by far the most successful session in the history of the district. The salvation of souls, showed a great increase, the membership being doubled in some instances. Great improvement was noted in the faculty. It was noted, Dr. Bundy is one of the greatest preachers in the Connection, and a "prince" among presiding elders. The papers and subjects discussed showed much ability and depth of thought, and all were deeply inspired with broader and deeper ideas of the duties in life. Revs J. C. Turner, C. M. Hogen, J. H. Uphgreave and J. H. McGarry, in the book *All who heard them Rev. J. Harris Acceave, transferred from the West Virginia Conference to the North Ohio Conference, attended this session and is a worthy successor of Rev. J. S. Jackson, at Steubenville. Revs D. W. Butler, J. H. Smith, C. H. Young, M. N. Culpher, J. D. Write, O. W. Childers, J. Montgomery, and others accounted and rendered valuable services. The hymen came in for their part of the magnificent success of this session. Miss Ida Ransom, the very efficient secretary, delighted the Conference with excellent solos. Rev W. B. Lee, the worthy pastor here, his choir, J. M. Society and congregation deserve great profit for the benefit they may enjoy. Certain irregularities in the management of the local High School were brought to the attention of the Conference. The principal, Prof. Williams, attended and addressed it to the satisfaction of all. Resolutions were adopted approving the sentiment he expressed, and decreeing a new document (on public schools by Rev C. H. Young, Dr. Charles Bundy said, in referring to the race, that "none of our leaders had so favorably proven themselves as the Hon. H. C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, and that the recognition shown us by the dominant race in his city, Cleveland, and Ohio was largely due to the efforts of his editor, Mr. G. McGarry, who publicly his kindly, exclaimed the good Doctor. The Christian Recorder and book concern were brought up by the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church length. The following resolution was adopted by unanimous vote: Resolved, that the General Conference be asked to pass a law authorizing the financial department and Church-extension department to cancel the indebtedness of the book concern, and give $5,000 to stock the same withi books to be sold in the church. This closed the most successful session in the history of the eastern district. (REV.) E. FORTE, Reporter. "YETTA SEGAL'S" AUTHOR. Horace J. Röllin and His Kind Words Deserved, For a Thorough Race Man. The following excerpts are from a recent issue of our highly esteemed contemporary, the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press, Attorney J. R. Clifford, its editor, is one of our best and most aggressive men. Would that there were more like him, Mr. Rollin to best friends. In conclusion, let me felicitate the readers of this journal (Pioneer Press) that in John R. Clifford we have an editor who long has uttered the clean and concat regarding conduct of Bierce Greely, and has had acquaintance and some dealing with the Tribune's next head, Whitlaw Rold; and also with the independent, dashing Murray Hallstead, of the old Cincinnati commercial, and (going up to the beautiful Miami Valley) Major Biekham of the north, who also still nearer to my geographical location the late, Quakerer, issued, Issue S. Morris of the Miami Helmet (and Call of Pipa, not so widely known but stirring as the best—moreover, there are today great, unselfish, editors, but none of these, and none of those, have stood up more manfully and persistently, for the inspiring bonds of his memory of Negher Purandar, Howard J. Rollin of Trox, O., author of "Yetta Segal," etc.) I say it carefully and truthfully that I regret I am in any way connected with the most excellent essay written by that matchless and manly Rollin Place, R. R. 7. Troy, Ohio and printed in this issue. However, and nevertheless, read it and take my word for it that, Sammer, Garrison and others were no truer to our untramelled rights as men and full fledged richer and riper scholar except Luther Burbank, who loves Rollin so much that he importuned him to "move to Los Angeles, and live twenty years longer." Educationally in comparison the two men are like the Shames of the devotion has been to end with the plant system, while Rollin's "Yetra Segal," which deals with the human plant, converted Mr. Burbank to the same line of thought. Sad he has written "the man Plant," and every Negro should read these two invaluable books—Martinsburg (W. V. Paele) Press. A. WHO IS REALLY THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR COUNTY CLERK? Within a very few days the voters of Cuyahoga County will decide their choice for the position of County Clerk. It behoves each one of us to be careful in this selection—to know positively that the one seeking office has the necessary qualifications, and above all the qualifications required by another—in other words, that he is absolutely divorced from conditions that necessarily entail political subservience. Coning before the people as he now does, Mr. Fred C. Acker claims entire freedom from any sort of dictation, influence or suggestion. He has never before sought a position of no machine or bosses, but is conducting his campaign singlehanded; therefore, when elected, he will have no political debts to liquidate. Mr. Acker was borg in Cleveland about 36 years ago, and has lived here all his life. He received a public school education, spending some 20 years at the University of Sterling High School, and doubtless many of our patrons will recall him. It is the purpose of this paper to recommend any candidate for any particular office, but it is our opinion that Mr. Acker deserves the full support of those who believe in independence, and an administration of duty that recognizes no favorites, but treats all others fairly. Mr. Acker is the office of County Clerk, Mr. Acker will encourage a system that will not only discourage political machinations but at the same time insure a most economical and satisfactory service to the people. PROF. ALFRED CLUM. Candidate for a Republican-Nomina- tion for the Ideas Judge— Vonkirch, John F. Mr. Alfred Chum, who is a Republican Candidate for Common Pleas Judge, subject to the primaries on May 17, has been a resident of Cuyahoga County since 1884. He has been a member of the Republican Party in Cleveland, for twenty years. He was born in New York State, and was educated in Washington, D. C. He graduated from the Law Department of the Columbian University in 1883 and received the degree of "L.L. M." as a post graduate from SUNY New York University. University is now known as the George Washington University. Mr. Clum was attorney for the Village of East Cleveland for nine years, conducting successfully the Briigation which secured to the Village the land on which the Shaw*High School is located; and maintaining the rights of the people in the Market District. Mr. Clum for several years last past has been Professor of Medical Jurisprudence in the Cleveland College of Physicians and Surgeons; and at the Cleveland Law School he has been Professor of Equity Jurisprudence and the law of Corporations. There is absolutely no question as to Mr. Clum's exceptional fitness from the position he seeks and we do not hesitate to commend his candidacy to our people in the strongest possible manner. Be sure to see that his name has a cross before it when you vote at the Primaries on the 15th. A. Real Good One "Pardon me, Governor," began the interlocutor. "I am." influenced.

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 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 what are the coalitionists of the most active kind, the grandfather being a leader in the "Underground Railroad" work in this section. Many a poor slave was seized in his barnhole, fled, clothes, 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. The Gazette proposes that Mr. Mellrath be 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 Mellrath family association, the largest in this county. We have been a branch Republican and friends of the race. This is Mr. Mellrath's first attempt to secure an office. He has a high real estate business in this city and county for years. Remember to vote for him on May 17th. VOTE FOR JACOB J. ADAMS For the Republican Nomination for Sheriff—Will Give Us a Deputy Sheriff With Salary as Well as Name. Jacob J. Adams, who is to be the next sheriff of this county, was born in the old 7th, now the 12th, ward at E. 12th street, formerly Philips School, January 29, 1862. Occupation, ironworker. He was last employed as a county inspector. If nominated and elected, as about every Republican expects him to be, Mr. Adams will under no consideration be a prisoner over the age of 70, more than 20 years old, and will give the people of Cuyahoga county a good business administration. The Gazette asks the united support of our people for Mr. Adams because of reasons stated above and also those in the article relative to Sheriff Hirsutus to be found elsewhere in this paper today.

SMITH Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1893; 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, O., May 7, 1910. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. That is, indeed, "a confession of shame" which the Springfield (Mass.) Republican makes for the American "white" people, republished elsewhere in this paper. Last week Jim Jeffries, who is training for his big fight with Jack Johnson, had a 'boll on his neck, a lame back and a strained leg. He'll beat this record July 4 when Johnson has done with him. The old man (Jeffries) is showing early that the statements of experts in athletics, are true, and that he is past the time in his career when he can "come back" (get into the physical condition he was, when champion). The allisy effort of Cleveland Town Topics to be spectacularly funny in a recent issue, when speaking editorially of the recent newspaper outbreak anent the Oberlin college color-lines promoted by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and its effort to base them all on "social equality," something that does not exist, was fittingly closed with the following sentences which disclosed, and nicely too, the benevolent animus which prompted the writer, a southerner or a produced southern gymnathizer: "Wherefore one is moved to pause and ask if there is no tradition that is sacred? Is Oberlin to join with the Springfields and other northern communities in showing that perhaps the South is right after all?" "PERHAPS," is good. The editor of the Dayton (O.) Citizen, evidently does not know Ralph Tyler, the Fourth Auditor of the U. S. Treasury, the Ohio Negro who recently had the nerve to write a communication to race papers commending President Taft. Go slow, Editor Robinson, until you have become better acquainted with Ohio and its inhabitants, especially those of the race. Tyler's advice has little or no weight with our people at his home, Columbus, or elsewhere in Ohio where he is known. The members of the race who have the nerve and gall to commend Taft to our people in this day and time, are a few federal office-holders (only a few of them left, so rapidly has Taft let them out of the service), and a smaller number of misguided, ignorant and truckling Negroes who are trying or hoping to get a federal job. Go slow, confrere, go slow! Our esteemed editor of The Cleveland (O. ) Gazette is never happier than when in a rumpus for the solid rights of his race. He hates petty jobs in pay for fealty at the polls minus of which, the party would be in a non-active state and branded as a racist. He knows that way through which he will never forget the day.—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. We dislike petty jobs when given our people to the exclusion of BETTER ones. They are all right when accompanied by our proportion of the better ones. Mayor Baeh-Maschke in January, soon after taking office, announced the appointment of only one Afro-American to a clerkship and then refused to give him or any other member of the race, the place or a clerkship of as high a grade, and it was only a THIRD rate one at that. We also dislike petty politicians, and above all, the "jimcrow" Negro political slave who endeavors to make people at home and abroad believe our people of this city have been properly recognized by the Baeh-Maschke "outfit"—have been given the "substances instead of the "shadow" they really possess; in order that they, said "jimcrow" Negro political slaves, may curry the favor of their cheap, prejudiced political masters or bosses ("white"). TAFT'S VITAL THRUSTS. President Taft's Ohio census supervisors, with possibly one or two exceptions, on his order have refused to appoint Afro-Americans as enumerators, and this has been the rule throughout the north. He not only dismisses them from the Government's service but bars them as well, to please the prejudiced south. All on account of race and color. Our citizenship don't count "a rap" with Taft when it comes to holding office under the Government, these days, if there are a few prejudiced persons of either party, high or low, who object, and, of course, there always are. Ex-Collector Rucker of Atlanta, Ga., Ex-Postmaster Wilson of Beaufort, S. C., Ex-Receiver of Public Monies Kennedy of New Orleans, La., are cases in point. These men were among the few remaining federal office-holders, Presidential appointments, in the south. Possibly two or three are left, so rapidly has Taft let them out of the service in the year and two months of his incumbency of office. The most harmful phase of this unAmerican treatment is the outrageous precedent it establishes and the encouragement it gives all classes of people in this country, even foreigners, aliens, to draw color-lines against our people. Americans by birth, not only in politics but also in the busi- ness and social life of the nation. This lessens most materially our people's field of legitimate operation and makes the gaining of a livelihood correspondingly and very materially harder, where goodness knows, it has been hard enough; entirely too hard. 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 admonishing 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, gully, 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, in 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-lymarly resident of "Georgah." STRIKES AND THE UNION. Some years ago during the street car strike of Cleveland, O., the Traction company employed as strike breakers colored men, both as conductors and motormen. After the strike was settled they retained the colored men in their employ, much to the dissatisfaction of the Union. In the recent strike at Philadelphia the company on one hand in appealing to the colored men to assist in operating the factory, and on the other hand in the case, and said they would act in the same manner. The Union, on the other hand, not only besought them not to enlist in the services of the company, but appealed to them as well as to all others when making their collections. But the Colored Americans were not beguiled by the promise of the company, neither did they lend their sympathies to, or help them, or be receptive to neutral ground. That they would have been deceived by the company we are prone to believe, and that the Union would have worked against them after the settlement of the strike, is equally firm in our opinion; for just recently all the colored motormen and conductors in Cleveland were made the victims of the Union and the Traction company of that factory. When they apparently at difference with each other, have displaced all of the colored crews. This is a lesson for our future reference. "Be not deceived."—Portland (Ore.) Advocate. The above is practically true. All of the local Afro-American motormen and conductors except one have been discharged. The Traction Co., and the union are not "apparently at difference with each other", however, but are working in perfect unison. Last year's strike of the union street-car employees was at least encouraged by the present president, then a vice-president of the Traction Co. The Afro-American employees, most of whom he had employed when the union struck of its own accord some years previous to last year, refused to strike last year at his and the union's request and stuck to their work. This last is what made him retain them at first, some years ago, and is what caused him to discharge them a few weeks ago. Strange, but true. The same thing made and the team last year was wanted to cripple and kill the effort to give the people three-cent fare, and in this way to again get possession of the street-car lines. Mayor Tom L. Johnson had control of the company. The strike "did the work out for it" and the Traction Co., got its lines back. Its vice-president, now president, kept his agreement with the union, made prior to last year's strike, to discharge all employees who did not strike (last year) when requested to do so, and to put back to work all the old union men (strikers) who desired to return. Even higher union officials who were not in its employ last year, have been given good jobs by the company, and only one Afro-American employee, a motor-man, retained (temporarily at least). This in brief is the history of the local street-car troubles from our viewpoint. The Local Traction Co., is like all corporations, soul-less' things. They have no sentiment, sympathy, appreciation or anything else when a dollar is involved. That is why, in the local case, the Afro-American street-car employees were hired originally some years ago, and discharged THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1910. several weeks ago, for an exhibition of loyalty to their employers' interests, in both instances, that would have secured their retention in their positions for life and good behavior, by any individual (not a corporation) in the same business. THE NEW MANASSAS! What Can You Do to Make It Possible?—A Grand Outlook—Help Get It $30,000. Manassas Va.—The friends of the Afro-American and of the great cause ANOTHER BLOW AT OUR RIGHTS. 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 Sixty-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. To The Honorable ..... Senator for 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. I 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, Northwest London D An Abolitionist Leader Dead. Utica, N.Y.-W. Blakie, noted in the early days as an Abolitionist leader (prior to the war of the rebellion), died here at his home, recently. He was a 193er, going to California, the Cape Cod district of Mount Vernon, for cold fever. He was a close friend of Rosecoe Conkling, and a pall-bearer at his funeral. Blakie's home was a well-known station on the "Underground Railroad," and he aided in the escape of more than 1,200 slaves. GEN. JAMES S. CLARKSON Says Prof. Du Bois Is the Leader and Not Dr. Booker T. Washington, and He Is Right—The Repub- lican Party Derelict. 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." "Any debt the Negro owed the Republican party has been paid. The party has betrayed him. He should be betrayed." "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 political politics the general has always been booked 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. "Booker 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 Bois. He is a man of great love to work and 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. We are more Negroes in the world than whites. We deprive the Negro of his rights, and then, when the time comes, expect him to do his duty of citizen and soldier." There was no bitterness in the general's tone. It was the kind of taint one from the front, who, when a boy, ran a station of the "underground railway." a task delegated to him by John Brown. DAHOMEY PARK. A RACE ENTER PRISE.

What Can You Do to Make It Possible?—A Great Tool to Look-Help Get It. $10,000 "HEWERS OF WOOD AND DRAW ERS OF WATER" The contention over the reappointment of the keeper of the children's elephant "Minnie" in the charge of the city, and that now on as a result of the unwarranted and wholesale destruction of the trees in the public parks, have opened the eyes of thousands of residents of this city, besides our, to certain things. The Gazette said and ratified prior to Mayor Baehr-Maschke's nomination and election last fall. Thus early has our statements been made clear, verified as it were, and therefore we are now justified in saying, we told you so. Our people know, whether they will admit it or not, that we have so very many times told them in advance TRUTHS about persons and things that some of them would not accept before, only to wake up after when it was too late, to find out that once again the Gazette had warned them in time but in vain, to their sincere regret. In January the Gazette announced the appointment of Dan. Palfray, jr., to a clerkship in the waterworks' office, the only Afro-American up to date to be "appointed" by the city administration to a clerkship. did Dan have the job? NO INDEED! Did you appoint the job? NO INDEED! American to it or any clerkship? NO INDEED! Are all such positions filled? The Mayor says to. What positions have been given to our voters? A few janitorships, two meter-readers, a few inspectors of garbage, water closes, etc., and a few laborers. No clerks or higher appointments! Baehr and Maschke would, make the Negro, "a hewer of wood and a drawer of water!" Is this what our parents are sending their boys and girls to High School and Colleges for? Is that what Mr. and Mrs. John Fairfax sent Dan, through Western Reserve University to do—work in the city yard on the Lake front, doing work beneath a clerkship grade that does not require a "Collegiate education"? Dan, has held clerical positions in the local and St. Louis Post Offices that we do not believe many of Baehr'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, 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. A Confession of Shame! Whatever the defects of Spanish rule in Cuba, there was no serious development of the color line, and racial antagonism between whites and blacks never became a menace to public order. Recent events, however, indicate that this kind of a development has begun since the introduction of a paramount American influence that characterized form of insurrection known as "taking to the woods," with soldiers of color on the firing line. Gen. Evaristo Estinoz, who has been arrested, is professedly the leader of "the independent party of color." The white and black question in Cuba is one of the problems of the future, and no doubt it was sure to be preempted by the ideological ideas of social equality were introduced in the more luxurious clubs, cafes and hotels of Havana,—Springfield (Mass.)

HADLEY 'ENLISTS NATION'S PHILANTHROPISTS IN GREAT CITY EXODUS SCHEME. PRELIMINARY MEETING IN ST. LOUIS State's Executive Proposes to Incorporate Association for $1,000,000, the Stock to be Divided Into 1,000 Shares of $1,000 Each. St. Louis, Mo. — A nation-wide, "back to the farm movement," to be sponsored by philanthropists of the United States, was inaugurated in this city today, at a preliminary meeting of interested parties, called by Gov. Herbert S. Hadley. Governor Hadley long has been an ardent advocate of a return of city dwellers to the farm, and for months has been working out the details of a plan which he believes will solve the high cost of living problem and at the same time bring about more scientific farming. He proposes to organize the National Farm Homes association, with the philanthropists of the country as stockholders, to furnish farm, equipment and instruction for worthy applicants who are seeking to escape from the cities. To Incorporate Association A committeeman from each state was named at the meeting, and a call was issued for a final meeting, formally organized. Finally, formally organized, Hodley's plan is made up of the best features of similar ideas in use in Europe, with minor additions by himself. It is proposed to incorporate the association for $1,000,000, the stock to be divided into 1,000 shares of $1,000 each. These shares, it is expected, will pay / dividends, which either will be taken out by the stockholders or added to the capital. It is then proposed to borate colonies on model farms in Texas, Missouri, Alabama and other states where land is cheap and fertile. Each farmer will be allotted to acres; a house will be erected for him, and fences, mansions and live stock furnished. Twenty-two of these Auguste farms will constitute a colony. Each colony also will include a central farm, presided over by an expert agriculturist, who will oversee the work on the targes, the proper rotation of crops and so forth. Tenants will be given ample time to pay for their farms, and their profits have been figured out by Hadley as averaging $2,500 a year. Teach Scientific Farming. Each colony will have a school; where 'scientific farming will be taught in addition to the usual curriculum.' Entertainment will be provided for the colonists, so that farm life will lose the monotony that is now largely responsible for the rush to the cities, in Hadley's estimation. Each group of 22 farms will cost, complete it, is figured, $5,000, thus allowing 20 colonies, or 600 farms on the original investment, the number of farms to constantly increase as the tenants pay off their indebtedness. Applications for farms will be passed on by a committee appointed for that purpose. ROCKEFELLER STORY DENIED Starr J. Murphy Declares Standard Oil President Has Not Abandoned Foundation Plans. New York.—A press dispatch from Washington announced that John D. Rockefeller had abandoned the idea of securing a national charter for his proposed foundation. Starr J. Murphy, personal counsel for Mr. Rockefeller, and speaking for the Standard Oil president, said the statement was entirely without foundation. Mr. Murphy also said that Mr. Rockefeller, had nothing to do with the "Economic and General Foundation," for which a charter is being sought from the New York legislature for "an aged man of wealth," said to have $2,500,000 to spend on charity. POST REFORM BILLS PASS Senate Approves Measures to Save $600,000 Annually in Registered and Money Order Mails. Washington, D. C. — The senate passed two bills, which Senator Penrose gave assurance would save the government $600,000 annually, if they became law. One of them would modify the postal laws so as to require return receipts for registered letters only when requested by the sender, and the other annuals the requirement that issuing postmaster should notify the office on which money orders were drawn.

Dale, both of this city, and the budge of his success in Cleveland, will be appointed to the friends of the family throughout the State. The Alabamian congratulates him.—Mougomery (Ala.) Colored Alabamian. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a copy of the official handbook of the Juter-Scolastic Athletic Association of the middle Athletic states. It is interesting for several reasons. In first place, it is the only publication of its kind devoted entirely to the interests of our youth, and it is also the first Spalding publication devoted to the interests of athletics from the standpoint of the educator. The illustrations are inter-religious. Prof. Edward C. Williams, principal of the M St. High School, Washington, D. C., for the copy. A Statue in memory of Hon. Francis H. Pierpont, will he unveiled in Saturny Hall in the Capitol in Washington, D. C., Saturday, April 30, 1910, in the Capitol building. He would be the Negro and his cause, he would not have it unveiled; unless a Negro had something to say about the noble man it is to represent. He was our tried and true friend and many times have we spoken together. He is the dear old hero who nominated him in 1884, against Ex-Governor Wm. O. Dawson, and he was the first high official to cat at a public reception in Alexandria, Virginia, with Frederick Douglass, and when some others objected to it and tried to belittle our glorious old patriot—he replied: "I have the manhood to do it; you lack Martin'sins (W. M.) Pioneer Press." Human Life's cover for May is a baseball scene to warm the cookies of every fan's heart, and the opening story—on the great Garry Herrmann—is a three-base hit. Alfred Henry gives the public, for the first time, a real good look behind the scenes in the closing drama of the last administration in his live-wire article, "The Falling Apart of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft." Furthermore, Mr. Lewis makes an announcement in this issue of the magazine, giving the public a captive reading public. There is a captivating royal love story by Vance Thompson in this issue, of a present-day prince and princess whom a cruel Fate has parted for many years. "My first lesson in individual dressing I learned from my teacher, the story of Grace Fiklin, the charming actress, in her article, 'My Philosophy of Clothes,' George Russell Stratton—most entertainingly sketches the career of Asher C. Hinds, who will be a candidate for Congress this fall from Thomas K. Reed's old district in Maine; and an Jerry Relat, the story of the rise of Chicago "No Vote, No Tax" League. Half a dozen other departments offer a varied and tempting menu, while the number and variety of the illustrations add not a little to the attractiveness of this issue. The trouble with a lot of people who cannot be famous is that they are willing to accept notoriety as a substitute. A. Poor Substitute. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1910. 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 Hirslus and Others Fully Justified—Some Interesting Letters. As is well-known The Gazette was bitterly opposed to the election of Sheriff Gus Hirslus, because when 0 to 12 ward (the 12th ward) Hirslus 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" in the neighborhood which he introduced in the council (authorizing the proper dry authorities to cut the street through) at the request of the above mentioned preju diced: Cedar avenue residents. When he was re-elected to the council, Hirsius, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but steadily released to keep his promise. The following is pertinent and self-explanatory. Read the letters carefully and thoughtfully: Cleveland, Nov. 19, 1998 Mr. Peter Witt, City Clerk—Dear Sir, Just before election, Councilman Hirschst made a statement in a politically charged letter to the city that he has passed an ordinance, resolution or something in the city council, providing for cutting a street through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between East Twenty-second and East Twenty-eighth 'streets, opposite Sked street, or in that vicinity, which he declared, though passed by the council in July last (the work of cutting the street through) has been held up ever since by Director Springborn or someone else connected with the city government. How much, if any, truth is there in his claim? Last year or the year before the same individual introduced an ordinance, resolution or something in the council, providing for cutting a street through in the same vicinity. Will you tell me whether or not the resolution, ordinance or whatever it was referred to, was made, and why the street was not cut out through at that time? By complying with the above requests at your earliest opportunity you will greatly oblige me. Yours truly. HARRY C. SMITH Editor The Gazette. Nov. 22, 1988 Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette —Dear Sir; On July 9, 1966, resolution No. 5268 by Mr. Hirstius provided for the opening of East Twenty-fifth place to Cedar avenue. It passed the same month on the 24th day. The improvement was not made for the reason that Mr. Hirstius did not want it. His reasons for not wanting it. I have been informed, wore and possibly are that the people in the vicinity of the proposed opening did not want people of your race to come through. In May of the present year there was a resolution introduced, and passed in June, looking for the making of a new street between Central and Cedar avenues about opposite the corner, never made for the reason that the money in possession of the city through the sale of bonds was for the opening of dead end streets and not the making of new streets. It is the custom to the administratio defer the wishes of councillor for ward improvements, and I feel sure that the only reason the improvement at East Twenty-fifth place was not made was because of race prejudice which Mr. Hirstus listened to. Would suggest that you call up Mr. Springton and get from him a confirmation of what I have given to you as a mentor. Very truly yours. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette—Dear Sir, Answering your favor of the 4th inst., with reference to the enclosed letter from Mr. Witt, would say that the facts are as Mr. Witt states, and had Mr. Hirstius desired to have East Twenty-fifth place on the ballot. We would have been done long ago. At the time it was proposed to make this opening Mr. Hirstius invited me to meet with him a committee at the close of one of the council meetings. The committee represented the property owners and residents in Cedar avenue, where the improvement was inaugurated, and its opening, and the result was that Mr. Hirstius finally agreed not to have it made. AND ASKED ME TO HAVE GO FURTHER STEPS TAKEN IN THE MATTER. It was not until recently that the case which we had started in court to condemn the property was dismissed. We have always made it a rule, as in the government, to the civilman representing the ward in which improvements of this kind are to be made. It therefore seems that MR. HIRSTIUS ALONE IS TO BLAKE FOR NOT HAVING THE STREET OPENED. Years very truly. W. J. SPRINGPORN. 140 W. 10TH ST., N.Y. Chinese, Moon, Worship.

Shotwell, one of the greatest market reporters in America, writes from New York, under date of March 20th, and says; "The Tariff tangle with Canada which President Taft has taken in hand is of importance chiefly because of the multitude of American farmers that are crossing into the Canadian northwest. Most conservative estimates of their number place it at 150,000 for 1910. Some say as many as 250,000 will cross. These are all expert farmers and their places in the United States are being filled by untrained men from Europe and from the cities. Canada is gaining rapidly in agricultural importance and within in a few years the United States will have to call on the *Dominion* for wheat. Production of wheat in the United States is not keeping pace with the *population*. A tariff war would complicate the problem of getting food. Even now Canadian farmers are getting higher prices for their cattle on the hoof and Canadian housewives are paying less for meat in the butcher shops than farmers and housewives are receiving and paying in the United States. The tariff on cattle and wheat must be removed as between the two countries before long." THE WAY WE JUDGE PEOPLE. "Gruet is a very unobservant man."

"Corals," says a State street jeweler, "seem to be entirely out of fashion. A generation ago at this season of the year I was selling an enormous number of them for Easter gifts and this year there's no demand at all. It has been falling off every year. There was a time when every young girl had a coral necklace and the number of coral bracelets, earrings, brooches and other ornaments worn was very large. A Great Teacher. Professor Sumner was of a generation that produced men who loved teaching for its own sake and who would let nothing interfere with their primary calling. They were men having strong personalities, as well as powerful minds, and their influence was often amazing in its permanence. Under the old system of prescribed courses, few students escaped stimuli lating contact with them. They shaped character and molded lives. "Buckles with coral on them were once very popular and at the time when lavailleurs came into such great favor many of them were made with coral, either alone or in combination with some precious or semiprecious stone. Nobody asks for corals now. I can't say what is the most popular of the semiprecious stones, but I can tell you that corals have given place to lapis lazuli, crysophrase, jade and fresh water pearls. "It seems a shame to me, for there's nothing so dalynt and attractive for a young girl as corals, but, then, the young girls of today are hardly as dalynt as they were when—well, a generation age." Misplaced Pride. Dr. Charles E. Woodruff, U. S. A., has conducted some investigations which appear to show that the blond type is doomed to extinction in America, says the Washington Post. "People take pride in being blondes," said Doctor Woodruff, facetiously, at a dinner in Washington, "but if my investigations are correct, then this pride is displaced as if misplaced as that of Timothy Olcott. Timothy Olcott, an orchid of wretched appearance, was hailed before a Boston magistrate, charged with obstructing traffic by playing ball in Tremont street. 'Can't your parents dress you better than tlts?' the magistrate asked, looking with disgust at Timothy Olcott's rags. 'Me parents is dead, Timothy blubbered. 'But you've got some friends, surely?' said the magistrate. 'I've got a brother, the boy answered. His brow cleared and he spoke proudly. 'Who is he?' 'He's at Harvard university,' said Timothy, throwing out his chest. 'Is he in a good position there?' asked the magistrate. 'No,' said Tim. 'He's in a bottle there. He wr: born with two heads.' Profit In Small Fruits. A meeting held at the courthouse in Snow Hill last week under the auspices of the Snow Hill board of trade resulted in bringing out some facts with regard to the profits of small fruit culture which should be of valuable suggestiveness to other sections of the state. The most significant statement made at the meeting was that from a strawberry farmer from over the Delaware border, who declared that the section which he represented was ten years ago a practically moneyless region; but this poverty-striken area is now supporting six banks and real estate values have advanced from 200 to 400 percent. This wonderful transformation from adversity to prosperity has been brought about by the strawberry.—Baltimore American. Conquit Questions The woman flushed with suicid rage, the census man had asked her age, and might have filled full many a page with things she frankly uttered. He was no person to be balked, he guessed the figure as she talked, and when she saw that figure chalked, she got so mad she sputtered: "You say I am forty-eight, you clown, you dare to put that libel down, why, everybody in the town knows I am twenty-seven." "And do you think," the man replied, as her beherrinked face he eyed, "when years have fled and you have died, that you will be in heaven?" Strictly Prohibited Some Washingtonsians went out to Hyattsville, Md., to a wedding. "Jim," said one of the Washingtonians to the aged negro butler who was fussing around, "can't you get us some confetti?" "What's that?" asked Jim. "Can't you get us some confetti?" "No, suh. I can't boss. I suh can't." This yere's bin a dry town for more'n a year, an bin a drap in the house."—Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1910. A Great Teacher. Professor Sumner was of a generation that produced men who loved teaching for its own sake and who would let nothing interfere with their primary calling. They were men having strong personalities, as well as powerful minds, and their influence was often amazing in its permanence. Under the old system of prescribed courses, few students escaped stimulating contact with them. They shaped character and molded lives. Professor Sumner at Yale unintended his popularity to the end, his lectures being very largely attended under the elective system, and the students being immensely attracted by his clearness, masculinity of thought, force of expression and absolute independence and fearlessness of conviction. To be a truly great teacher, one must have enthusiasm and even missionary zeal, one might almost say; certainly, one must intensely believe the thing taught and impress the hearer as having the stuff for-martyrdom, if need be, in the cause of truth.—Springfield Republican. Chicago Sets Fast Pace for Postcard. "It's hard to keep these postcards up to date," said a dealer in picture cards depicting scenes in Chicago at a point much frequented by out-of-town visitors. "Just look at those views showing the stretch of skyscrapers along the lake front. It is a sight to thrill every true Chicagoan with pride, but at the same time he knows that the photograph is not doing justice to the greatness of his city. When that photograph was taken two of the present skyscrapers were in a state of half completion and another steel mountain since erected wasn't to be seen at all. These views being sent broadcast through the country are not keeping pace with the growth of giant architecture. Fortunately, we've cleared our racks of that photo showing cable cars running past the Masonic temple." New Electric Thermometer. New Electric Theatre At a recent meeting of the Institute of Electrical Engineering in London a differential electric thermometer was described by Prof. J. A. Fleming. The thermometer consists of two large glass tubes, sealed air tight at the top and bottom, and connected by a tube of fine bore in which is a thread of colored water containing a bubble of air in the center. The strips whose resistance is to be measured are placed in the tubes, and one of them is connected with a source of high frequency current, while the other is connected with a source of direct current. By introducing resistance into the circuits, the heat may be regulated until it is the same in both tubes, as will be indicated by the bubble remaining in the center of the small connecting tube. The value of the resistances will vary inversely as the square of the current. A Test of Sociability. "Miss Eliza Bemls is just as nice as she can be," declared her neighbor, Mrs. Elderly, "but there's one out, about her that I don't like. She isn't so sociable." Her friend expressed surprise at this accusation, and began to defend Miss Eliza. "I know, I know," said Mrs. Elderly breaking in; "that's all very well, but tell me this: did you ever see her go around to funerals? No, of course not, and so I don't see how you can call her sociable—real sociable, that is."—Youth's Companion. The Kind He Admired. They were basking in the warm sunshine in the gladstone country-side. "Wouldn't yer like to be a bird, old pal?" sighed Languid Larry, who had been gazin lazily at the frolics of a deck of swallows. "Ah, wouldn't I though?" murmured Torpil Thomas, whose eyes were closed in blissful rest. "Just tink uv havin' nothin' ter do all de long days' but loaf around in n gilded cage, completely surrounded by free lunch!" Would Help. 'Auntie, I wasn't bad wings. You may just have them some 'day II' wings. "I want 'em now. I could cover a heap ground at second base." DOCTOR ADVISED OPERATION CuredbyLydiaE.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Galena, Kans. — "A year ago last March I fell, and a few days after there was soreness in my right side. In a short time a bunch came and it bothered me so much at night I could not sleep. I kept my arm larger by fall it was as large as a hen's egg. I could not go to bed without a hot water bottle applied to that side. I had one of the best doctor in America to tell my husband that I would have to be operated on as it was something like a tumor caused by a rupture. I wrote to you for advice and you told me not to get discouraged but to take Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did take it and soon the pump in side broke and caused a wrist injury. Mrs. R. Huey, 713 Mineral Ave., Galena, Lyda E.

It costs a trade to try it, and the result has been worth millions to many suffering women. If you want special advice write for it to M. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. It is free and always helpful. WHERE ROBE WOULD COUNT Under Friendly Cover Preacher Might Safely Proceed to Split His "I tried to get a chance to speak to you at church Sunday," said Mrs. Othcastle, "but the crush was so great that I couldn't push through to where you were." "Yes, wasn't it awful?" replied her hostess, as she flecked a bit of dust from the Gobelin tapestry. "All the common folks in town seem to want to crowd into our church lately. It's too bad they aren't satisfied to stay where they belong. How did you like the sermon?" "Well, as a sermon it was fairly good, but I do wish Doctor Goodman would quit spitting his infinitives. I try not to let it make me nervous, but I can't keep from being shocked every time he does it." "I never let them kind of things bother me, but that's where the Episcopals have the advantage of us. If our preacher would wear a long robe he could split them and we would never notice it."^Kansas City Star. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaths is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous hing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely cleared, Denness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

AWFUL BURNING ITCH CURED IN A DAY "In the middle of the night of March 30th I woke up with a burning itch in my two hands and I felt as if I could pull them apart. In the morning the itching had gone to my chest and during that day it spread all over my body. I was red and raw from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and I was in continual agony from the itching. I could neither lie down nor sit up. I happened to see about Cuticura Remedies and I thought I would give them a trial. I took a good bath with the Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment.

Don't Snack Your Children A little boy on a side street in Akron says he always counts on getting a spanking every Monday, because his mamma does the washing and is so tired and cross she won't overlook his pranks.

If his mother would use Easy Task soap she would have her washing on the line before 9 o'clock, because Easy Task soap does half the work for her. The Real Hero.

"The other day, for instance," says Wyman, "my little boy was called before the tribunal over which his fond mother presides." "You've broken one of the precious ten commandments," she said. "Did I?" asked our boy carelessly like. "Yes, my boy. I've said to you over and over the ten commandments," said Mrs. Wyman, "and now you've broken one of them."

He said: "Why, certainly, my dear girl, I'll go and examine my old books." When he came back to report, he said: "I find your father charged with a girl baby born on the 'seventh day of April, 1919,' and I also observe he still owes me for you."—Howard (Kan.) Courier.
