Charm of Flowers THE WOMEN'S WEEKLY M TWENTY-SEVEN Charm o LL in the merry month of June the flower-laden leghorn hat blooms forth, with the roses and other winsome things of young summer. This, and the beautiful hair-braid hats are perennial favorites, not more or less, but always more popular. Every season the clever milliner who delights in these really beautiful shapes, must bethink her of some new touch in trimming, some new turn to brim, or some novel feature in manner of decorating, in order that the summer girl may not tire of these hats and run after new goods whose virtues are untried in the realm of millinery. Ever since the oldest modiste can remember, June has seen the heads of fair wearers crowned with these staple shapes, trimmed with roses and ribbon. This year the new touch is found in velvet facings and in velvet-covered crowns. New ideas and shoes in silk or tulle roses and in the way in which brims are turned or shaped. One factor in the success of their hats, beside their beauty, is their durability. One does not buy a leghorn or hair-braid hat for one summer, but for several. Therefore, it falls to the lot of the milliner to remodel and retrim the same shape several times. Her chances of turning out something pleasing and successful were never better than they are Simple Home Remedies That Will Do Away. With Fatigue and Relieve Discomfort. The old East Indian method of giving scientific massage to the feet has been taken up again and is considered of great value to those who are fatigued. First-The hands are moved up- GIRL'S SAILOR DRESS. 1 Either serge or linen would make up nicely in this style. The skirt has a tight-fitting yoke cut with a point in front; the lower part is plaited and joined to yoke. The blouse is an ordinary sailor style, and has the collar and singlet edged with braid. A sailor's knot is tied below the collar. Materials required: Six and one-half yards 46 inches wide, six yards braid. THE GAZETTE this year. A velvet facing or a velvet crown added to last year's leghorn changes its appearance completely. If the shape is considerably worn, both may be used; for perfectly new patterns, like that shown in the picture, are made up in this way. It is the charm of flowers, the new beautifully colored roses, which is so enchanting and finally makes the last year's hat "as good as new" and perhaps better. If a velvet-covered crown seems a little dark or heavy, a sash of light ribbon or perhaps of tulle are added. Many kinds of flowers are used for these hats, although the rose is the first choice. One cannot make a mistake in selecting the rose garland. Wreaths made of roses, gardensas, forget-me-nots and other flowers, with an occasional wisp of grass introduced have trimmed some of the handsome patterns. Big bouquets of roses and lilies of the valley have been favored, and on black hair-braid small, exquisitely made corn flowers or deep blue forget-me-nots with velvet ribbon in the same color, have proved the color combination beautiful. These hats can be worn with any sort of costume for summer. With pretty white dresses they give a finishing touch harmonious to the last degree. JULIA BOTTOMLEY ward, one after the other, on, the raised feet, so that the blood is driven upward. Second—The hand is moved in a rotary way from side to side, beginning at the toes and stopping at the middle of the calf. Third—The palm of hand and the tips of fingers are applied in a rotary movement with great force and pressure. Throughout all the massage the feet must be raised and supported. It is useless to do it when they are on a level with the head. When the feet are burning, alcohol is one of the best tonics for them. It cools the skin and stimulates the muscles. For aching feet nothing is better than hot vinegar and water. The feet should be allowed to stand in a basin of this for 15 minutes while the ankles are massaged with it. Tied-In Skirts. As far as the fashions have gone they show that we will continue to wear the skirt that is hampered in some way at the knees. It was originally called the aeroplane skirt—this model—and it now goes by the name of the tied in skirt. That is an expressive description. The effect of being tied in is gotten through the sash or a stitched band or an ornament fold that holds whatever fullness there is at the knees. Pumps for Street Wear The new pumps for street wear are made with ankle straps, which are an improvement over the pumps used last year, for they were scarcely practical for outdoor wear. To be quite correct the stockings worn with pumps of this description should plain and fine, of course. This rule applies equally for house wear any of the dainty styles in embroidered hose may be denoted as suits the taste of the wearer. Things to Know. Lavender-scented sheets are said to induce slumber. Five cents' worth of dried lavender blossoms will scent the whole closet where they are kept.

ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. DANIEL MURRAY'S SOLUTION PLAN! A COMMISSION FROM BOTH SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY PROPOSED. Secretary Dickinson's Suggestion is Strongly Contested - Achievements Elsewhere - Careful Study of Foreign Examples of Race Adjustment May Lead to Effective American Solution. Editor Washington (D. C.) Star: In a recent issue of The Star is given the gist of what Secretary of War Dickinson is credited with believing to be the best solution of the so-called Negro problem, wherein he proposes to eliminate that race entirely from politics. Secretary Dickinson is quoted as saying: "There is and always will be no problem that we cannot expect to see settled in the sense that there will be no conflicts, or that a stable continuous basis regulating the relations between the two races will be reached at any time in the near future. "While we cannot now see the establishment of any enduring basis requiring the effect of the two races and their progress under a common government and civilization, we can by justice, wisdom and forturance minimize the evils and remove the acute situations as they develop. Any basis looking to anything like a permanent adjustment for certain relations must be one that appeals to the judgment of the entire country." No Political Elimination It is to be deeply repreented that the spirit of justice seen in the closing statement herein quoted should be marred by the grievously unjust proposition to make 10,000,000 loyal Americans parishes in the land of their birth. The Secretary of War may not have intended so radica) a proposition, but if true, this is indeed a problem, but not a race problem. Why should I and my children be thus denied the right of protection by the Secretary of War, the horn people in our midst, and who would probably leave the country at the first note of war? How will the Negro ever learn the obligations of citizenship if no school of politics be available? To be logical, if he is put in the same category as the women, then he must be exempted from the public danger and not be called to defend the country or bear arms on his behalf. Probably this view was not considered. Previously this view was not considered. Previously this view was not considered. It is certainly unjust to impose the obligation and deny the privileges of citizenship. Negro's Accomplishments. In most of such cases involving unfair propositions the speaker at the moment fails to catch the import of the fact that forty-eight years have past since, the immortal Lincoln issued his world-famed edict; that literacy among the colored people is not as high as it was in the past; that color has been a voter over forty years; that he has, along with other citizens, supported the policies of the Republican party, which has been accorded political support by a majority of the American people. These facts have been used to justify the majority of the American people be willing to do this injustice to their faithful ally? I believe not. The colored men are patriotic and will assist in securing an honorable peace, a peace that will be satisfactory to both colors. No other peace will be peace at all in the Middle Ages 1832, when the French in the West Indies, a been purchased by the people of England at a cost of $100,000,000, much race bitterness followed, but a truce of peace was found a few years later. The French accepted as a sacrifice to open violence and the trouble was at an end. If the English nation in 1833, then only 20,000,000 strong, could appropriate $100,000,000 to abolish slavery in all its colonies, the United States could well afford to pay $2,500,000, much cash, to $1,000,000 in a devastating war, secure on a just basis a lasting peace between the races. If France and England can devise a medus vivalcid on this line, certainly the United States can also solve the problem. France had such another problem in 1832, and during the French Revolution 1833, but found a peace solvent without doing injustice. Foreign Examples. England's solvent method in the Island of Mauritius, now one of the wealthiest spots on earth, brought peace and prosperity to its people. There, as in the West Indies, the blacks outnumber the whites nearly ten to one but because such a confidence that justice will prevail in any difference and is satisfied of the friendship of each other. This peace act was not secured on the basis of might making right. In England Lord Morley, through an act of parliament, the king granted the freedom of the natives in India. In Trinidad Sir Ralph Woodford and his successor, Sir Elijah McGregor, were able to bring to that island a satisfactory measure of peace without invading the manhood rights of either color. My attention for a long time has been focused upon this question of the nature of the white and colored peoples in every place where the later have been held in bondage. I have made within the limits of my opportunities during the last fifteen years an exhaustive study of the problem and feel justified in saying it is far less formidable than the white and colored peoples want factors enter into it, each necessary to a satisfactory solution—educa- tion, tolerance and the spirit of Christianity. When these have been admitted and began their work, time will effect the complete cure. Commission. My investigations lead me to suggest that a commission, preferably of seven members, be created, four whites and three colored, two whites and one colored from the south, two whites and one colored from the north and one colored from the country, at large. This commission to visit the places where the slaves were secured and report us to their observations, and law peace with honor may be secured in the United States between those of varying colors. I have recently seen it stated, and by those who should know better, that Negro enfranchisement was a serious mistake. This is not justified by the facts of political history. The granting of the ballot to the former slaves was not a success. The exigencies of the situation at the south immediately following the close of the war demanded it. The war had left the former slaves free, but without our means of protection. The necessity for such was seen in 1866, when the former slave states commenced the enactment of those barbarous laws known by their character as the "black colors" more barbarous in the north than in the south, where were those of Draco 2,700 years earlier, laws so infamous in their tendencies that none equal had ever been enacted by a civilized lawmaking body during the same century. (Concluded in our next issue.) DOINGS OF THE RAGE John Franklin of Lynchburg, Va., recently bought a valuable piece of property, corner of Fifth and Jackson streets for $1,025. A hotel is to be erected on the site. M. B. "Tink" Morton, Athens, Ga., has had built at a cost of $50,000 an opera house for the city. Its appointments and furnishings are said to be honored by any establishment of the kind in the country, costing the same amount of money. H. L. Jackson, Blackstone, Va., is reputed to be worth between forty and fifty thousand dollars. Besides one or two good tarms, he also owns two large store buildings located in the business district of the town. He owns two duplexes a furniture business therein; in the second store, Mr. Jackson himself manages a general merchandise trade whose capital in stock is valued at $20,000. In connection with the other business, he also carries a good stock of text books and stationery. In fact, he furnishes all the text books for the white and colored schools of the town. In Gordonville, Va., A. G. Gordon owns a broom factory which he planted seventeen years ago, having but one employee, and that was himself. Today there are six persons working in that establishment—all members of the Gordon family. The daily output, with hand power, is dozed off his brooms in Richmond, Alexandria and Orange, where he sells, to white jobbers. He is so overrun with orders that he is now preparing to install machinery to be operated by electric power, so as to be able to meet the demands for his brooms, which have the reputation of being able to make. By the aid of machinery, he will then be in a position to turn off daily fifty (30) dozen, instead of ten (10) dozen brooms. Keystone, W. Vn. has a population of only 3,000 souls; but there are three or four physicians, four or five lawyers, quite a number of magistrates and policemen (all Afro-American), one church, having a visit occasionally from a minister elsewhere, and a large number of Melbwell Times, set up by both white and colored compositors, and edited by M. T. Whittock. The wealthiest Afro-American is A. L. Calhoun, a thorough going business man, estimated to be worth $150,000. He is one of our two members of the city council; the other member is Dr. G. N. Marshall. While there are many business men in the "Keystone Supply Company," dry goods, notions, shoes, hats, gents' furnishings and groceries is the largest, A. L. Calhoun, president; Dr. Marshall, secretary and treasurer, and J. M. Lamkin, manager. It was organized in November, 1907, with a capital of $2,500. The value of the present stock is $25,000. The business man, annually employs $30,000. He employs clerks regularly and four extra. The commercial rating of members of this firm in Bradstreet's Directory is $290,000.

Mahoning Valley Personal, Social Church and New News of the Week AN AMENDMENT PROTEST Three Petitions Filed Against Proposed Oklahoma Disfran- tation Guthrie, Okla.--Three protests were, filed last week with Secretary of State Cross against the petitions recently filed by the Democratic state executive committee to initiate a "grandfather clause" amendment to the Constitution, our voters of Oklahoma. James A. Harris, as chairman, filed a protest for the Republican state committee, Parrick S. Nagle, as attorney for the Socialist party, filed a second protest, and the third was filed by W. H. Chappelle of Guthrie, as attorney for three petitions. He also read me write, and would therefore be dischrised by the proposed amendment. The protests also allege that the petitions filed by the Democratic state executive committee are not signed by a sufficient number of petitioners; that a large number of the signers are not qualified and that the petition is not sufficient in form, and does not conform with the constitutional requirements.

Tuskegee, Ala. - The total number of students enrolled this year was 1,698. This does not include those enrolled in the kindergarten, Children's House or the nearly 200 in the Tuskegee town night school and the Tuskegee town cooking school. Of the 1,698, 698 came from thirty-five different states and twenty-one foreign countries. The year has seen many changes in buildings and grounds. At a special meeting of the trustees' hold in February, three large new buildings were dedicated: The "Alexander Moss White Memorial building," a dormitory for girls, taking the place of Alabama hall, the first building of brick erected in 1839, and the first dining hall" the largest and most expensive building on the grounds. It contains a dining room for students with a capacity for 2,000, a dining room to accommodate several hundred teachers, a kitchen with refrigerators, store room and an auditorium that will seat about 2,000 people. The "Millbank Agricultural hall," the largest building of brick, by 60 by 150, and three stories high. A marked feature of it is probably one of the best equipped creameries in the state. In it are the latest and most improved devices for making butter and cheese. Milk is used not only from the 200 cows kept by the school dairy, but also such milk as is furnished by farmers in the Tuskegee town. The building also contains laboratories, museum, tool rooms, offices, lecture and recitation rooms. The water system has been developed so that three wells are yielding over 100,000 gallons of pure water each, per day, and a fourth, superior to either of the others, will soon be used to supply the entire ground and buildings has been installed. It has been a year of work-building, tree planting and sodding. By means of terraces nicely sodded, where once were continual washes there is now beautiful grass. The entire building is now used as a commissary stores and store rooms with dormitories above the first floor. Diplomas and certificates were issued by Principal Booker T. Washington to 167 persons this year and the attendance upon the 29th annual commencement this year was distinguished, both races, in the history of the school. Many prizes were given graduates and students winning them with essays, and competitive demonstrations of various kinds (industrial). The variety and extent of exhibits of every kind were so large as to reason that the school was well as a school commencement. The exhibits in literary lines were elaborate and instructively arranged. The stock exhibit consisted of all the varieties belonging to a well-ordered farm of over 1,000 acres. The exhibit of home-raised animals was especially large. The display of vegetables grown in the garden or quality. A large peach tree loaded with ripe fruit, was planted in the midst of the exhibit. There was a fine show of growing grains, etc. GOOD WORDS For Gov. Robt B. Glenn. Who Spoke in Cleveland Wednesday Gov. "Bob" Glenn, of North Carolina, is coming to this city. This was at once startling but happy news to me, for I know him as one of the best and greatest men of our nation, a man who has given a tremendous impetus to great moral reforms, both in his own state and to the nation as a whole, by much much more grog question. A Southerner to the manor born. Yet he comes to speak in the interest of my race. This is not strange nor unusual nor is our honored friend one of the few, but he is one of the representatives of a host of Southerners who from the very beginning have been true and loyal both to their former slaves and to their descendants. The voice of Gov. Glenn has been the voice of interest of my race, not only in the North, but in the very heart of the South, not only as a private citizen, but as the official head of a great political party between which party and my people there has thought to exist mutual dislike. This true the South has produced a few Tillmans, Vardams and manes and thank God she gave birth to a great Justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court, Bishop Galloway, Sant Jones and our great friend, Gov. "Bob" Glenn, and many others. The governor comes in the interest of the national training school for Negroes located in Durham, N.C. of which Dr. Shepherd is president. I ask the good people of Stebenbent, a governor a great blessing on Monday at the Presbyterian church. E. W. Kinchen, pastor, Simpson M. E. Church, in Steubenville Herald Star, June 4, 1910.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1895; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, O., June 11, 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 one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The first issue of the Rochester (N. Y.) Sentinel makes a very creditable appearance indeed. Success, confere Those are indeed encouraging items in our "Doings of the Race" department, this week. We are pleased to be able to give them. Associate Justice Harlan of the U.S. Supreme Court, was seventy-seven years of age, June 1. He is our best friend on that bench; a grand jurist, a MAN! May his life be long continued, is our earnest wish. He is needed. That is indeed a very creditable progress-showing that Tuskegee, Ala., Normal and Industrial school, made this year at its commencement exercises and in its annual report. The school is undoubtedly an excellent thing. This much, all must and do admit. The Republican' organization of Oklahoma is very properly taking a leading part in the effort against that new state's democratic disfranchise-election-petitions,' and we sincerely trust will be successful. It is about time for the party managers everywhere to wake up, and give our vote greater consideration in several ways, or defeat will surely come to the party in 1912. SOME OF "OUR BEST FRIENDS." Just how much "our best friends—in the south," as Dr. Booker T. Washington would say, love us and our efforts to rise, is properly indicated for the dominant "whites" in that section of the country by the burning a second time recently of Harbison college, Abbeville, S. C., a school for Afro-Americans promoted by wealthy Pittsburghers. Some years ago the college buildings were first destroyed by "white" incendiaries because the President (a Prof. Amos) insisted that his pupils be accorded their rights on the public thoroughfares of that vicinity. He was succeeded by Prof. Young, a more "conservative" executive; and, according to the Columbia (S. C.) State, "since Young has been President everything has been working smoothly." Early in March, by hard work the faculty and students accumulated $600 with which they installed a piano, a hall-lamp, etc. This was too much for the "po whites" of the neighborhood who "could not see how Negroes could send their children to college while theirs had to work." That piano and hall-lamp was really "the red flag that angered the ignorant bull," with the result that later in the month, kerosene was thrown all over the back door and steps" of the President's home and the main building of the college was more liberally supplied with it. The home was saved, "the door and steps only being considerably charred," but the college building "was totally destroyed, three boys burned to death and five others seriously injured, three having broken arms and two broken legs." There is no doubt of the fact that our people have many good and true friends in the South, but another fact is, that these latter are neither dominant nor in the majority, and it is nonsense, pure and simple, for Dr. Washington or any other person to say with a view to creating such an impression here in the North or elsewhere. We only wish it were so. The Abbeville correspondent of the State, says: "The fire is the worst thing that has happened in this community in years and every effort is being made to apprehend the guilty parties. The city council has offered a reward of $100, which will be raised by private subscription to $300. Gov. Ansel will be asked to offer a $1,000 reward." Of course this "talk" will end the matter because no one suffered injury, death or loss but our people. What a pity it is we have no organization with a fund that would enable it to send Pinkerton detectives to Abbeville for the purpose of apprehending the guilty persons? It would help so much to put a stop to that sort of thing and many others, almost vitally harmful to our people. Bitter experiences of one kind and another do not seem to teach us much, if anything, with all of our boasted wealth, intelligence and progress. It is the same whether it be "jim crow" cars, disfranchisement, lynching or the incendiary burning of our college buildings. MINISTERIAL DERELICTS The one thing that estopped the editor of The Gazette from sending to the local daily papers a communication refuting the miserable and harmful charges of "Noomyd" Brasher, against our waiters, footmen, barbers and chaucers, published in a local daily paper May 9, was the knowledge of the fact that our local Ministers' Association had appointed a committee consisting of Revs. H. C. Bailey, B. Forte and G. V. Clark, to do that very thing. After several weeks of waiting we learn that the committee was discharged last week (having done nothing) on the ground that "it was now too late" to reply to the shameful distribe. When we found that others wanted to look after the matter in the local daily papers, we published our comment, criticism and refutation in the old reliable Gazette, and it was hailed with open, general and unstinted expressions of favor and praise by not only those most interested, but also by all the sensible and intelligent people in the community who saw it, and about all of people and hundreds of others did. This moves us again to ask, what in the world is the matter with our local ministers, that they are exhibiting such temerity (to say the beast) in matters of such vital concern, not only to our people of this community, many of whom are hard-working members of their churches, but also to their church connections. Their church members and services and even themselves, in the case of four, have been held up to the public ridicule in recent weeks by a confessed irresponsible and incompetent, and one of them (Rev. E. H. Smith of Shiloh Baptist church) has had the courage to strike in all of his church, his members and himself. St. John's A. M. E. church was referred to, it is said, by Brasher, the "Silent Spectator" as a big church with few in it; Cory M. E. church's pastor was charged with injecting too much levity in his sermons or talks; and M. Zion Congregational church's pastor was charged with preaching too long and his organist criticised for coming into church late, etc, giving the public the understanding that all these things and more were HABITUAL. By their silence in the face of all this and failure to make clear whether the would-be critic was their superior, or not, was competent to criticise them, their church service and even their members, or not; was telling what was true as a rule, or not; was clearly within his rights as a would-be journalist when holding them, their churches and members up to public criticism and ridicule, or not; and last but not least, whether, in so doing, the (Brasher, the "Silent Spectator") showed good judgment, or not;—by their pitiful silence, the three ministers, at least, placed their seal of APPROVAL on all the foregoing and more much, and, of course, also on all of the "Silent Spectator"'s uncalled for, insulting and harmful criticisms. The same thing is true of the reprehensible position assumed by the local Ministers' Association when it backed Brasher's very harmful interview in the local daily paper of May 9. "Noomdy" was either right in both of his attacks—on the waiters, on the barbers, footmen and chauffeurs, and on the named and other churches, and on the church named, their churches and services and there was a moment's thought what he himself now admits, and that is that HE (BRASHER) WAS WRONG, very wrong, indeed, to say the least, and further, the child knows that it was the duty of our local ministers—a duty they owe their people, particularly the members of their churches,—to step to the front promptly, as did Rev. E. H. Smith in their defense. H. in the case of both uncalled for and injurious attacks. The Ministers' Association should have acted promptly in the first, as it originally decided (and it should do so even yet, because such a defense, explanation and refutation will surely do great good and can do no harm), and Revs. Collins, Slass and Clark should have been to come forward at Rev. Smith did, but prior to his spilled communication published in The Gazette last week, because they and their churches were held up to public ridicule before and after their death. The members of some of our local churches are still discussing this phase of the affair and apparently spineless local Afro-American pastors will do well to wake up and strengthen themselves immediately. --- Railroad Vice President Dice. Highmond, Vn—Charles E.

TERRIBLE BLOW AT OUR RIGHTS! WOULD BE A PENDING CONGRESS AMENDMENT TO "THE MOR RILL ACTS." WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMANI Let Every Loyal Member of the Race Particularly Those in the, North, Send a Strong Protest to Their U. S. Senators and Mem- bers of Congress—Do This at Once! 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 on account of race or color in the admission of students. It also provides that it shall be lawful to divide the received two institutions—one for "white" and one for our students—in those states where the state law requires separate schools for the races. The appropriation, from the United States treasury to each state was forty thousand dollars last year and will be forty-five thousand dollars next year and fifty thousand dollars each year ever after, for the support introduced in legislation and the mechanical arts. Fifty-one states and territories are now receiving grants of money under the Morrill act. In thirty-five of these states, the Morrill acts grant is given to an institution which makes no distinction in the admission of our people in the District of Columbia, there is nothing to prevent that body from doing the same thing at the request of any of the thirty-five "white" institutions now admitting our students; and if the benefits of the Morrill acts can be taken from our people in the District of Columbia in open violation of the law, why may not the same thing be done in any other state or territory? It is the duty of our people, everywhere, to resist this encroachment upon their rights at the very beginning, for when once the precedent has been established for the discrimination, by congress, against our citizens because of race and color, this work will go on until right guaranteed the race under the constitution has been taken from it. 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 inquisitious 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.: 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. I am. 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.

GARY TAKES ROSY VIEW DECARES-TRADE IS GOOD AND GROWING BETTER. Steel Trust Head Says This Country Is Big and Pessimism Is Out. Chicago, IL - K. H. Gary does not share the Wall Street opinion of commercial delivery. He on the contrary is constructive in his views. The chairman of the steel corporation's Executive committee bases his conditions on what the big steel and iron organization has done in the firm-date past and what its prospects are in the direct, the middle, and the far future, on what the railways have ordered on the general condition of the country. Gary was frank with the Chicago Examiner, in mentioning the numerous reports of railroad concessions. "We have received no concessions" he said. Then, in a subtle transition to a wider plane: "This is a big country in which possessive talk is out of place. The outlook is highly satisfactory. Business in the last 20 days showed improvement, and it has been with a still greater improvement. I am speaking of the steel corporation. As well as I may judge the same expression applies to business generally." Mr. Gary's information is exact. It is never qualified, much less refined, by the official statements of the steel company or by the action of the corporation directors. His predictions are quite reliable as his statements of facts. There is nothing visionary or intuitional about them. They are grounded on actual and prospective performances. At a time when Wall street is still in the aftermath of extreme hysteria, when railway presidents say that their properties have been put into an impass by Washington, it is onhearing to hear such a clear and same note as was voiced by E. H. Gary, than whom there is none better qualified to pass judgment on the economic situation.

Cockran sent for Reutenk and Patterson to come to New York City and testify as to the boy's character. They told the jury that the boy had a good reputation here. Nelson was lucky in securing Cochran for his counsel. The latter, with Judge Hornblower and Judge Untermeier, noted New York jurists, had criticised members of the New York bench for appointing the incompetent attorneys to defend impugnacious prisoners. The bench retaliated by appointing the three great lawyers to cochran he was assigned to the Nelson case. The boy's father, William Nelson, Sr., living on Force Avenue, said Monday that he expected his son home any day. "He has been a lake cook since he left school, almost three years ago, until he went to New York about five months since," he said. "And I think he'll be glad to get back to Cleveland." It is said, Mr. Cochran used $1,000 of his own money, in addition to the $500 allowed by the state in such cases (of the poor). The dirty Cleveland News cannot refrain, it seems, from publishing, in connection with the above, a miserable diatribe of prejudice-encouraging rot which it attributed to Mr. Cochran and which we do not believe he would utter even in an effort to save a man's life. In any event, it showed the contemptibility of that prejudiced sheet—the kind that characterizes the vilest and most bitter newspaper-enemies of the race published in the meanest sections of the south.

WHY STREETWAS NOT OPENED The Gazette Was Right in Its Contention, as Usual—Our Refusal to Support Hirstius and Others Fully Justified—Sonie Interesting Letters. As is well-known The Gazette was bitterly opposed to the election of Sheriff Gus Hirstius, because when a member of the council (from the 12th ward) Hirstius refused to permit a street to be cut through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry street and Greenwood street, because at 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 which he introduced in the council (authorizing the proper city authorities to cut the street through) at the request of the above mentioned prefi- 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 refused to keep his promise. The following is pertinent and self-explanatory. Read the letters carefully and thoughtfully: Cleveland, Nov. 19, 1908. Mr. Peter Witt, City Clerk, Dear Sir; Just before election, Councilman Hirstus made a statement in a political meeting 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 Sked street, or in that vicinity, which he claimed, 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 choose whether not the ordinance or whatever it was referred to, was ever passed by the council, and why the street was not cut through at that time? By complying with the above requests at your earliest opportunity you will greatly oblige me. Yours truly. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette.—Dear Sir: On July 9, 1906, resolution No. 5268 by Mr. Hirstus provided for the opening of East Twenty-fifth place to Cedar avenue. It passed the same month on the 24th day. The im-provement was not made for the reason that Mr. Hirstus 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 race to come through. In May of the present year there was a resolution introduced, and passed in June, looking forward to the move of a new street between Central and Cedar avenues about opposite Sked 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 dead end streets and not the making of new streets. It is the custom of the administration to defer to the wishes of councilmen 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. Springborn and get from him a confirmation of what I have given to you as a rumor. Very truly yours. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette. Dear Sir: Answering your favor of the 21st inst., with reference to the enclosed letter to Cedar avenue, we know that the façade 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 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 on Cedar avenue, where the improvement was intended to be made. They protested against its opening, and the result was that the property owner did not have it made, AND ASKED ME TO HAVE NO 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 to act in accordance with the wishes of the councilman representing the ward in which improvements of this kind are to be made. It therefore seems that MR. HIRSTIUS ALONE IS TO BLAME FOR NOT HAVING THE STREET OPENED. Yours truly, Director Board of Public Service.

May 14:—Dr. Sambon, a member of the Field committee which has been investigating the disease pellagra, telegraphs from Rome that the committee has definitely proved that maize or Indian corn is not the cause of pellagra. The committee finds that the parasitic conveyor of the disease is the "simulium repans," a species of biting gnat. "Tain't no use talkin' Cyrus, thet boy of ourn certainly do love th' country. He writ me er letter yesterday an' sez he was overjoyed 'cause ther going ter put-him in th' right field next summer." 16 YEARS OF SKIN DISEASE "For sixteen long years I have been suffering with a bad case of skin disease. While a child there broke out a red sore on the legs just in back of my knees. It waxed from bad to worse, and at last I saw I had a bad skin disease. I tried many wildly known doctors in different cities but to no satisfactory result. The plague bothered me more in warm weather than in winter and being on my leg joints it made it impossible for me to walk, and I was forced to stay indoors in the warmest weather. My hopes of recovery were by this time spent. Sleepless nights and restless days made life an unbearable burden. At last I was advised to try the Cuticura remedies [Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pille] and I did not need more than a trial to convince me that I was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura Remedies and after these were gone I was a different man entirely. I am now the happiest man that there is at least one true care for skin diseases. Leonard A.

At the present rate of increase nearly forty-five years must elapse before sufficient hospital accommodations to provide for all the indigent consumptives in the United States will be provided, declares the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Although over 7,000 beds in hospitals, sanatoria, camps and wards for tuberculous patients were established last year, there are fully 300,000 indigent consumptives who ought to be placed in such institutions and a total of only 22,720 beds in the entire country. On May 1, 1909, there were 15,244 beds for consumptives and 294 institutions. The annual report of the national association shows an increase of 99 institutions and 7,500 beds. FEED CHILDREN If parents will give just a little intelligent thought to the feeding of their children the difference in the health of the little folks will pay, many times over, for the small trouble. A mother writes saying: "Our children are all so much better and stronger than they ever were before we made a change in the character of the food. We have quit using potatoes three times a day with coffee and so much meat. "Now we give the little folks some fruit, either fresh stewed, or canned, some Grape-Nuts with cream, occasionally some soft boiled eggs, and some Postum for breakfast and supper. Then for dinner they have some meat and vegetables. "It would be hard to realize the change in the children, they have grown so sturdy and strong, and we attribute this change to the food elements that, I understand, exist in Grape-Nuts and Postum. "A short time ago my baby was teething and had a great deal of stomach and bowel trouble. Nothing seemed to agree with him until I tried Grape-Nuts softened and mixed with rich milk, and he improved rapidly and got sturdy and well." Read "The Road to Wellville," found in pkgs.

SOFT-WINGED PEACE ONCE MORE BROODED OVER CLABBER HOUSEHOLD, Head of the Family Arises and Declares Himself—Moral Contained in This Story Not Hard Mr. Clabber had stood all the rest with as much equanimity as he could muster. But when Mrs. Clabber began to sniff and sniff and sniff, just because he was smoking his old brider pipe—then indeed Mr. Clabber stood up for his rights as a sovereign man. "Mrs. Clabber," said he, arising and speaking with much dignity, "over since I came home this evening from a hard day's work in the marts of trade you have sought every reasonable and unreasonable opportunity to aggravate, irritate and otherwise annoy me. You have frowned and scowled and your conversation" has been confined to monosyllables. You have burned the steak and you have undercooked the potatoes. Knowing that I like my rice pudding soft, you have let it cook hard. You have mislaid my slippers and have lost the evening paper. Knowing that I like to play with the canary, you have put him to bed "Nor, madam, is this all. You have grumbled and you have growled. I repeat it, madam; you have growled. You left your sewing in my easy chair. You opened a window so that the draft nearly blew my head off. You are wearing that old Persian wrapper, which you know I dislike, and you have referred to my family four times—each time in disrespectful terms. You have sniffed when I have gently demonstrated with you or worse yet—you have either remained truculently silent or you have banged a door. Not only have you banged doors, but you have banged plates, knives forks, spoons, cups, saucers, windows and overdoors. And now, Mrs. Clabber, when I light my pipe you begin to sniff in such a manner that I can stand it no longer. What, madam—what is the reason of all this? Oh! You are out of sorts, are you? "I see! Out of sorts! Permit me to suggest, Mrs. Clabber, the strong advisability of laying in an early supply of 'sorts' Your present paucity of 'sorts' is wearying and distressing to a degree. It threatens the happiness—the life happiness, Mrs. Clabber—of two human beings. I do not know where sorts are to be bead, but let me suggest that you apply there, wherever it is, as soon as possible for a generous stock. Sorts are evidently necessary to your 'wellbeing and happiness and I think it would be advisable for you to lay in enough sorts to last you over an emergency. You, being out of sorts, have used all mine and I find out that I am out of sorts myself. That is why I am putting on my hat, Mrs. Clabber. That is why I am putting on my coat and taking my pipe with me. I am going out to see if I can accumulate a few choice sorts and bring them back with me. Perhaps when I return you will have found a few available sorts, and—What? You think you have scraped a few together now? "Well, well! This is encouraging news, Mrs. Clabber. I see, too, that you have recovered that pleasing smile which was ever your dearest charm. And so, madam, I will take off my hat. You may hang it on the rack. And here is my coat. I think that now you can even find my slippers. And my tobacco jar. Bless her heart! And now I know she is going to sit on the arm of my old armchair and light my old brier pipe. Ah, yes! It is very evident that we have all sorts of the very finest sorts back in stock again, Mrs. C. Out of sorts, indeed!" The After Dinner Smoke. Mr. Gladstone was one who cherished the old view that women and tobacco ought not to be brought into association. Sir Edward Hamilton records that he would recall a dictum of the fourth marquis of Londonderry, a magnate of fashion in Gladstone's earlier days, that no man ought to enter the society of ladies until four hours had elapsed after he had smoked a cigar. This was one reason why Gladstone hated the modern fashion of smoking after dinner, though his own dislike of the smell may have counted for a good deal. But "Cranford" shows us that women and the pipe could be associated by extreme politeness—before the pipe was smoked. The courtly old bachelor, getting out his pipe and spoonen after dinner hands the pipe to his former love that she may fill it for him before leaving the table; and it is explained that this was the pink of old-fashioned compliment. Big Tim Requested "No Flowers." Among the thousand- or so persons who sailed from New York a few days ago were Big Tim Sullivan, of the state senate and the Bowyer, William Randolph Hearst and Prince Tokugawa lysatos of Japan. Big Tim earnestly asked his friends to please omit flowers. Said Mr. Sullivan: "I'm no opera singer or titled gentleman, but plain Timothy D. Sullivan." Nevertheless, Big Tim's crowd of followers was so large that the leader could not go on board the ship until a few minutes before sailing time, so insistent were they on shaking hands. There were no flowers, as requested, but the blare of three brass bands and the parting shouts fully made up for this deficiency. Humering Him. "Oh! I forgot to tell you to bring down my scissors too," said the spoiled wife. "They're on the table in the bedroom. Won't you get them for me?"

No style is more becoming to the growing girl than one of these semi-fitted one-piece dresses; which preserve the long lines of the figure without outlining it to any great extent. The model illustrated is developed in pink poplin, which washes as well as linen and gives an equal amount of wear. Two wide tucks, either side of the front and back, give a broad-shouldered effect that is very becoming.
