TWENTY-SEVENTH
Summer
HE happy possessor of a touring car or the hammier occupant of
car, or the happier occupant of one, who regularly takes the air in someone's else touring car, presents herself these days in a bonnet and a protecting coat which fastens into a "coat-dress." This garment is of a pongee or linen, very practical, dainty and a protection against the dust from collar to heel. It is shaped in such a variety of ways that one may choose from among the pattern books the most becoming style. The simplest lines remain the best and the coat dress should be plain. Brilliantine, of the washable variety, is another choice in fabrics, where the wearer has reason to wish to get something other than pongee or linen.
The bonnet is made of Madagascar cloth on a supporting veil frame and does not crush the hair. The crown is made of an oblong piece folded in and the bonnet is finished about the face with shirred tafeta silk. Ties of the taffeta, made from piece-silk, are fringed out at the ends and hemmed at the sides. The frames which support these bonnets hardly deserve the name, for there is so little to them. The cloth is a wiry fabric which needs little help to retain it in place. But the bonnet is designed to be cool and the wire supports are made to that end. It must not set too close to the head. These pretty head pieces look very simple and they are—as simple as a sunbonnet—which is not so easy to make successfully, as its appearance might indicate. Wash silk or suede-lise gloves enable the autolist to be always daintily gloved; if several pairs are provided clean gloves are always on call, for they may be washed and dried over night. It takes a very great beauty indeed to appear at once charming and "blowsy." This summer's auto clothes

Serge or cloth would make up pretty like our sketch, which has a panel front; the sides of the upper part are plain, while those at lower part are pleated, the two are connected by a material waistband which has the right end pointed, and fastened over on the left; cord ornaments and buttons form the fastening. Velvet or satin might be used to face collar and cuffs.
Hat of fine straw, trimmed with velvet or roses.
Materials required: 3 yards 48 inches wide, $ \frac{1}{2} $ dozen buttons, $ \frac{1}{2} $ yard silk or velvet.
To Insert Ribbon.
When removing ribbon from solled corset covers fasten a piece of twine on one end and pull through, take off the ribbon, leaving the string in the corset cover while it is being lau- dered. Then by tying the ribbon on one end again it is easily pulled back into place.
Many of the smartest new frocks are made with overskirts of all sizes from a short apron to a long drapery.

are the most practical we have had
the roomy coat-dress is complete and
covers up a multitude of well pro
protected finery, or maybe a kimona—
no one can tell which, until the gar
ment is taken off.
Every one who possesses a lace coat or a scarf or a shawl is making the most of many opportunities. What with tunics, stoles, overskirts and all sorts of draperies, and the universal use of lace, every good old piece is having an airing. This is likely to continue for, if the shadows that are cast before are in any way authoritative, the silhouette of the Empress Josephine seems to be lengthening across the land abroad, and has already arrived over seas to us. Skirts are narrow to inconvenience at the bottom and figures suggest that the corset is about to be forgotten—in effect—but not of course in reality. American women have ceased to accept everything Paris chooses to hand out to them, however, and it remains to be seen just how the handed skirts and coats will be received. But there is no doubt about the liking for soft draperies, and old classic models never fall of some degree of welcome. The manner of draping fine bits of old Chantilly is shown in the picture just as a suggestion to some one who may own a mantle or shawl or a long scarf. There are any number of ways by which it may be made to become a part of the costume. Shawls are arranged with the point fastened to the bodice at the bust line, plaited in at the waist on each side of the front, but hanging free at this point, and tacked to the skirt at the sides. This is not the only manner of placing them. With trained gowns the fine shawl of old lace may play the most important part of the composition.

Good Substitute for a Regular Article When Such Is Not at Hand.
A coat or jacket of any description should be kept on a coat hanger—when not being worn. If a regular hanger does not chance to be on hand a good substitute can be evolved by making a tight roll of wrapping paper or newspaper and tying about the center a string with loops left to hang it on the hook.
The paper roll if sufficiently thick will keep a coat in shape nicely. Most waistails are also better hung up than laid in a drawer. In traveling it is especially convenient to be able to fashion good hangers with only a few old papers, a bit of string and just a moment's time and work.
For traveling the small cases of extension hangers are delightfully compact and a great convenience. These hangers can also be bought separately and a bag of silk or dimity made for them to be carried in.
A Flounce Finish.
To finish the upper edge of a flounce on a delicate white frock there is suggested a new idea in a spray of silk flowers. A long and trailing tendril made of a milliner's fold of delicate pink satin is tacked along the line of joining where the chiffon or tulle is fastened to the skirt. Hanging from this at distances of three or four inches are single rosebuds, the smallest imaginable, made of pink ribbon and each one attached to a leaf made of delicate, narrow green ribbon.
Now, at wider intervals, and reaching upward from the long tendrils, there appear wandering sprays of the same pink silk fold ending with a tiny pink bud. On the same frock the sleeve is finished with a similar handmade decoration and the shoulder line below the subyoke.
Chamois Cushions.
With a pattern cut out as for stencil work, the chamois cover of a cushion is lined with rich brown satin or velvet and finished round the edge with a brown silk cord. A second cushion top of chamois has its conventional design burnt upon it—very delicately burnt with the pyrographic needle, because this leather is too delicate for carcass work.

Paris Pattern No. 3288, All Seams Allowed.—To dress little children is one of the easy and pleasant parts of a mother's tasks. It is a good way to learn a very useful art. We show in the accompanying picture an exceptional style for smaller girls. This dress is made with a yoke and this yoke has a fancy outline at its lower edge, being cut out in two parts which slant upward. From the pointed portion of the yoke extend two small box plaits, which extend the entire length of the dress. At each side of these box plaits are a number of small tucks to supply the fulness needed. In the back of the dress there is no yoke at all, but on each side of the waist are tucks, stitched down their entire length. The pattern is cut in sizes 2 to 8 years. To make the dress in the 4-year size will require $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards of material 36 inches wide, with $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards of insertion, $1\frac{3}{4}$ yards of edging and 1 yard of beading if trimmed as illustrated.
To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper, Write name and address plainly, and be sure to give size and number of pattern.

OSCAR ERBSLOEH AND FOUR
COMPANIONS DASHED TO
DEATH IN ACCIDENT.
Craft Drops From a Height of 5,000
Feet in Germany and Is Totally
Wrecked—Balloonet
Cologne, Germany—Herr Erbsloeh, the world renowned German scientist and aviator, and four companions were dashed to death near Pattscheid, West Germany, when the dirigible balloon Erbsloeh, named for its inventor and constructor, fell from a height of 5,000 feet. Five heaps of crushed flesh and bone, absolutely unrecognizable, lay beneath the debris of the wrecked balloon when those witnessing the fall reached the spot. The dirigible Erbsloeh belonged to the Rhine Aerial club. It resembled a miniature Zeppelin dirigible, being about one-sixth the size of the famous inventor's airship. The erbsloeh consisted of 12 balloonets, side by side in a rigid and covered frame, like the water-tight compartments of a ship. A long aluminum car for the engine and passengers was swung below the gas bags. The car contained two gasoline engines of high power which drove the fore and aft propellers, giving headway to the airship.
The dirigible went aloft from Dusseldorf, from which point the ill-fated Zeppelin passenger liner started her last voyage. In the aluminum car were Erbsloeh and two companions, together with the two chauffeurs, whose duty it was to take care of the gasoline engines. While near Pattscheid one of the balloonets in the great balloon burst, and in a second the gas bags had been torn to bits. The heavy car and the fragments of the gas bag fell like a plummet, Erbsloeh and his companions fell 5,000 feet to instant death. The dirigible was so completely wrecked by the mile fall that it is impossible to tell just what caused the fatal accident. The fatal voyage lasted only 45 minutes.
Herr Oscar Erbsloeh, the aviator, was well known in the United States, having plotted the German balloon Pommern in the international balloon races held in St. Louis in 1907. The Pommern rose in St. Louis and landed in New Jersey, coming down only because the ocean had been reached. For this flight, the longest of the race, Erbsloeh won the James Gordon Bennett cup, the first prize. On February 9, 1909, Erbsloeh, with three companions, made a daring flight across the Alps, rising from St. Moritz and remaining in the air 33 hours, landing near Budapest.
'TEDDY' NOT FIGHTING TAFT
Says He Is Conferring With Insurgents, Regulators and Democrats at Their Own Suggestion.
Oyster Bay, N. Y.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt in his first authorized declaration defining his attitude with respect to the national and state political situation conveyed the idea that above all else he is working for complete solidification of the divided Republican party factions. Colonel Roosevelt authorized the I. N. S. to say for him that he is "sounding out" the sentiment of party leaders throughout the country and that whatever he has done must not be construed as an expression of his feeling toward the administration.
As to a break between himself and President Taft the ex-president insisted that no word he has uttered could be interpreted in that sense. He is conferring with insurgents, regulars and Democrats, said Colonel Roosevelt, all at their own suggestion and he is anxious to hear what the independents have to say.
FORSAKE CANADA. COME HOME
Thousands of Americans Return in Nine Months and More Emigrants Will Follow Their Example.
Washington, D. C.—The tide of emigration of home seekers to Canada, which has been the subject of great concern to the administrators of the public domain for the last few years, has turned in the opinion of officials of the reclamation service. Clarence J. Blanchard, statistician, reports that practically every American farmer in the neighborhood of Alberta, where the Canadian government maintains an irrigation project, was eager to get back if he could sell his holdings in the dominion. In the last nine months, it is said, 15,000 settlers have returned to the United States from Canada.
Mrs. Hartje Wins Divorce Suit. Pittsburg, Pa.—An absolute divorce will be granted Mary Kenny Scott Hartje from her husband, Augustus Hartje, the millionaire paper manufacturer.

According to an agreement which has been reached, Mrs. Hartje will be granted the custody of the daughter, Mary, ten, and Hartje will obtain their son, Scott, 14. Mrs. Hartje also will receive during her lifetime the interest from $100,000, which he will set aside for her.

CLIMAX FOR GREAT TENOR
Caruset Approaches Finale in "Marital"
Entanglements Through Divorce
Suit Against Woman.
Florence—Enrico Caruset is
approaching a climax in his "marital"
entanglements. It will be remembered,
that during his first two seasons in
New York at the Metropolitan Opera
he was accompanied by a woman
whom every one considered to be his
legal wife.
This woman was really Mme. Gine
Bettel, the wife of a Florentine merchant,
who under the name of Mimi
Glachetti had achieved a certain success
on the operatic stage, and who
Mme. Caruso.
Is a sister of the better-known lyric soprano of the same name. A year or two ago Mme. Glachetti-Bett-Caruso was reported to have eloped with her chauffeur.
Now the Florentine merchant, Betti, is suing her for divorce and names Caruso. Mme. Caruso, as she is still generally known, has written a letter to the press in which she states that she endeavored to seek a divorce from Betti ten years ago, but he refused his consent. It was then that she went to live with the tenor. Since that time she declares she has lived with Caruso as his wife, and has had two children by him.
She often saw Betti, who never seemed to resent the fact of her alliance nor care one way or the other. She denies having eloped with the chaufeur and says Caruso left her pennille at Mont Charles on the very spot where they first met and where he persuaded her to forsake her artistic career for his love.
Mme. Betti deplores her unhappy married life with both men, whom she accuses of having failed to contribute to her support, although she admits that Caruso gives her $100 a month—a mere pittance, she says, considering that he draws the highest salary of any tenor on earth.
The famous trial will be held in Florence within the next few weeks, and the star witness will be Caruso.

Michigan Man Has His Whiskers

Oxford, Mich.—Alex Guilles of Ortonville, whose hirsute appendage begins at his chin and trails on the ground, was in town recently to have his bid for fame recorded by a local photographer. Although Guilles keeps his elongated beard done up in as neat a manner as the coiffure of a society lady until nothing unusual would be noticed at a casual glance, his ad-

vent here to have his whiskers "took" by a photographer created no little excitement.
Gulles is the proprietor and operator of a saw mill at Ortonville, and 'tis said he locks steps with that trailing streamers of whispers as he winds his devious way in and about the swiftly humming machinery, indifferent to the wind that whistles merrily among this luxuriant growth of human foliage. He has not had a shave since war times and does not expect one, striving earnestly to protect what he claims is the blue ribbon winner for length, in whiskers. He prides himself on having the longest whiskers in Michigan. And the residents of Ortonville, who have seen that winding trail of wispy, stringy whiskers floating about the saw mill over humming saws and buzzing set screws, give Gulles credit for as much courage as he has hair.

In “just now"—and so late! There
is a-paychological element in this
agitation that looks like “a case of
bad conscience.” There lurks in the
affair “the fear of raceriots and the
increase of lynch-murder In the Re

but take this occasion to ask the as-

the ministers of Jesus Christ's re-

and ail other people of sane mind and

have so far waged alone and there-
fore with far less success than we
merit. It is the agitation against

law, termed correctly. Iynch-murder

crime.’ If a minor affair in moral-

possible to punish them where they

becomes evident’ to those partaking
of such crimes that the law not only
has a strong arm but that it will exe-

arm. This, coupled with moral educa-

surely effect the result so desirable
from every point of view and becom-

tion is to endure. If the antt-prize-

to dig deeper than the mere surface;
they will have to unroct the weed

The following five paragraphs are
from the St. Louis (Mo.) Wesliche
Post of June 6, and were translated
into English for “The Gazette” by our
aceasional correspondent, Mr. Jacob
Exbert of Chicago
1. “What wrong liave the Negroes in
our country committed “that the,
‘whites’ should wish to take revenge
‘on them for Jeffries’ defeat? |
2, “The Negro Johnson battled not
only against his ‘white’ opponent Jef)
fries, but also against the open enmity
of fully’ 20,000 spectators.
4. "In the ‘race riots,” which must
be considered the inmediate couse
quences of the prize fight, the ag
gtessors were mostly the ‘whites.’
Poor sportsmen, who cannot accept @
‘defeat with dignity!!
“4. "All those who bet their good
money on Jeffries ought to recover
from the ‘white! sportsmen, who, blind-
ed by race prejudice, played the con-
fidence game on them by asserting
that the ‘white! man must win.
5. It our Nexrocs have an ex:
eggerated idea regarding the vietory
of a member of their race, they have
evidently obtained this view only by
the perusal of papers, great papers,
edited and published by ‘whites’: the
so-called ‘world’s papers.”
| ‘That portion of the great “Caucasian
[race that seeks to prove its suprem-
lacy over the Negro by gathering in
mobs and assaulting defenseless black
“men is fortunately a small part of the
white population. Suet brutal and
‘cowardly thugs, if they were real rep-
resentative, would by thelr actions in-
dicate the error of their own blatant
claim.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The prize fight was bulletined at
the Oakwood links by rounds. ‘The
report of the first round included the
important information that Johnson
led with a right, while Jeffries feint-
ed with the left, The fonrsome just
starting out was in time for this bit
of news and heard nothing further un-
til the return, when the result was
announced, Mrs. Herman August
who was Of that foursome, wasn't a
bit surprised. “How could you expect
Mr, Jeffries to win,” she argued,
“when he fainted in the first round?"
—Cleveland Press.
Professor W. L. Hamilton of the
University of California, lecturing be-
fore a class in sociology at North-
western university at Evanston, 1.
last week, pointed out the rapid
strides the race has made in the past
50 years. “The Negro no longer can
be called the white man’s inferior,”
he said, “in art, muste, Titerature, In
warfare, in business and in physical
development he has made phenomenal
strides. ‘The recent prize fight proves
to some extent the truthfulness of
the theory that the Negro is not an
inferior race. ‘There 1s no scientitie
proof to show that the Negro sprang
from a distinct root, according to the
view of Professor Halle, the German
savant, but all evidence tends to sup-
port the theory that he is simply a
branch of the Caucasian race, the
same as the Bxyptian, the Moor and
the Hindoo. I believe’that within 300
years the Negro will become extinct
in America, through the effects of in-
termarriage and climatic conditions.”
Gazette last week), I feel impelled to
congratulate the newspaper for its
wisdom and for its giving of inspira:
tion to all people regardless of color
or race. 1 personally cannot approve
of prize fighting. The wornout sub-
terfuge of calling these fights “boxing
contests” should be dropped out of
respect for the intelligent public. I
want to point out the far-reaching ef-
fect of American color prejudice.
Mayors of many cities and many au-
thorities controlling theatrical enter-
tainments have tabooed the fight pic-
tures. This is pure race prejudice,
‘Had Jeffries won I venture to say that
not one city or hamlet worth showing
them in would have "barred them. To
show that the white American Is usu-
ally the cause of race conflicts in this
country, I wish to say that I happened
to be In the “black belt” when the
wires flashed “Johnson wins!” and
heard the vociferous cheering of col-
ored people. No injury or harm was
done anybody, especially the white
people. Any white person was abso-
lutely Safe in the heart of the “black
belt.” Yet inoffensive colored _per-
sons have been beaten and assaulted
in strictly white nefghborhoods, When
the American public learns and prac-
tices that Christlike belief, “the fa-
therhood of God and the brotherhood
of man,” race wars, anarchy, prize
fighting and political grafting will be
as dead in this grand country as
witeheraft is in “intellectual New Eng-
land.” Mother Nature knows no race,
but merit can be produced in any race
of God's great family.
Chicago. DANIEL JACKSON.
Tn the midst of much aimless or
prejudiced discussion regarding the
exhibition of the JeffriesJohnson
prize fight pictures in Cleveland and
elsewhere, comes a calm and sane
letter from a Cleveland minister. He
fs a white man, and as such he la-
ments the attitude of his fellow Cau-
casians in the present controversy—
an attitude which, he insists, is un-
worthy of the race.
“While I deprecate the prize fight,”
this minister writes, “and the display
of the brutal in these moving pictures,
I believe there is in this matter an
fgsue more serious than the fight it-
self. It is the race prejudice that it
reveals. The prize fight has always
tended to arouse the brute in man,
but why should the matter be treated
differently when a Negro participates?
Race prejudice is a contemptible pas-
sion, and Is only aggravated by the
Dresent discussion. Reports show that
White men have been the great of-
fenders in the post-fight disturbances
—men who are not sportsmanlike
enough to wish to see the better boxer
win, Ifthe white man had won, the
white man would have exulted, the
Negro would have borne defeat, and
the pictures would have been shown.
The disgrace is to the white man
whose;mean intolerance belies his
boasted superiority. Isnt it possible
that a higher service might be ren.
dered to humanity if the pictures
should be shown and every white
man who cannot see a telling blow
delivered by the Negro without an out-
burst of race hatred should be. treat-
ed by the law as an unsafe citizen?
And the quiet witnessing of a. fair
contest. throughout the north might
be a wholesome object lesson to the
Prejudice inflamed south. It is a pity
to degenerate into lovers of the prize
fight; but it is a greater pity to be-
come self-confessed shives of an in-
tolerance that is bigoted and fanatical,
Let every white man prove his worth
by bearing defeat as a ‘white’ man
should.""—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Tha silly stories being published in
the diy papers of the country, thes
days,/‘0 a foolish effort to explain
way Jeffries’ defeat, are on a. par
with the batring of the fight pletures,
and are really too ridiculous for any
Sane person to pay any. attention to.
But it certainly is amusing to sce
them wiggle, whine and “carry on"
ike a whipped and spotied child, both
in and out of the newspapers, and all
this because Jack Johnson “licked”
Jeffries “fair and square,” good and
‘plenty, and showed unmistakably
“while doing so that he is. the world’s
“gteatest heayywelght pugilist that has
ever lived, lives, of will live for some
time to come." The only. thing the
inatter with Jeffries at Reno was that
he was not, nor never was, the equal
of Jack Jolingon as a fighter. And all
this does not justify sensible Afro
Americans getting “ehesty" over the
outcome of the fight. Get all the sat
isfaction out of it yon can in an in
telligent way and with due regard for
the feelings of others. That. is the
conduct of & lady or gentleman, and
we all wish to be that, and nothing

ginia Authorities.
According to information which
reached here Tuesday from Rich-
mond, Va., Walter G. Critchlow, for-
ner president of the International La-
bor union, of which he was the
founder and to which colored people
chiefly belong, and who, about a year
axo completed a term in the Ohio pen-
itentiary, having been convicted on
the chamge of using the mails to pro-
mote a fraudulent scheme, has been
denounced as a faker in that city.
Colonel Joseph Button of the Virginia
insurance department has set about
to frustrate the efforts of Critchlow,
who has been again inserting adver:
tisements in certain Negro papers of
the state, asking for agents. Critch-
low was stopped by the department
last winter after he had’ swindled
many Negroes in several cities of Vir-
gina, he said. The insurance com-
missioners of Ohio wrote the depart-
ment in Virginia, denouncing Critch-
low as a “bold fake.” As a result of
this communication, Colonel Button
as made the statement that Criteh-
low is a swindler and declared that
his concern had no right to do busi-
ness in that state. He also warned
agents to have nothing to do. with
Critchlow, and that they Would thus
stay out of the hands of the law, It
will be recalled that Critchlow was
apprehended about 18 months ago
and convicted of using the mails
fraudulently. He was sentenced by
the late Judge Thompson of the Unit
ed States court at Cincinnati after
one of the severest arralgnments that
had ever been administered any one
convicted in bis court. During his in-
carceration Critehiow repudiated his
wife, Tetusing 10 allow. ber tte” tae
him, and after his release married his
stenogrdpher, He again resumed his
former tactics, tendering quite an
elaborate banquet to the members of
the International Labor union and
other employes. Subsequently he lett
Dayton and nothing had been heard
of him until his present escapade in
Virginia—Dayion Journal, May 17,
1910."
What the editor of the Dayton Citi-
zen seems to overlook and Critchlow
ignore, is the fact that a Dayton daily
paper ‘first published the expose this
Year, and not last year, when we wrote
him in answer to his request for rates
on advertising space in The Gazette.
Had we seen, last year prior to the re-
‘ceipt of Critehlow’s letter asking for
rates, any such publication as the
above from the Planet aud Journal, in
any reputabie newspaper Tike either
of the two mentioned, Critchlow would
never have received any reply from us
to his communication until lie had dis:
proved the charges, We have not
learned as yet that he has or can do
this, although he has written us one
‘threatening letter since May 28 in
which he made no effort to disprove
‘the same, The Citizen and Critchlow
‘are wasting time, If the latter is in-
‘nocent of the charges the Dayton
Journal has sent broadcast throughout
the country, why doesn’t he have that
paper retract them and state the
facts? It is, however, a bad sign, and
‘a waste of time, we repeat, to attempt
to bulldoze The Gazette into admitting
it hus any responsibility whatever in
‘say, the Dayton Journal charges are
untrue. Until Critchlow compels that
paper to repudiate its public state:
ment republished above, all who read
it now after standing uncontradicted
nearly two months, and originally
made in Dayton (Critehlow's head-
quarters as well as the home of the
Journal), we and all others are justi-
fied, legally and morally, in not only
velieving the charges, but also in
| spreading the news they contaln, for
the protection of our people, north and
south, particularly in the latter, where
the greatest. efforts in behalf of
Critchlow’s various schemes have
been made as far as we have been
able to learn. It is perhaps meet that
the Dayton Citizen has stirred up this
| matter axain, as it enables us to
again call the attention of the In-
| lannpols Freeman, the Chicago
Chronicle, the Odd Fellows’ Journal,
| the Denver (Col.) Statesman and one
or two other race publications that
persist in continuing Critehlow’s ad-
Vertisements, to the Dayton Journal
notice republished above and to the
following editorial note which ap-
peared in The Gazette of May 28,
1910:
Eyery one of our contemporaries,
particularly those published in the
Southland, should republish the ar-
ticleexpose on that man Critchlow,
white, to be found elsewhere inthis
paper, We re indebted to the Rich-
mond (Va.)' Planet for it, and it. in
turn, is indebted for it to the Dayton
(0.) Journal, a daily publication in
the city which the man has made bis
headquarters for several years. ‘This
expose has been a little late coming,
but as it is timely, though late,
spread the news and help protect our
working people, particularly, from
whom he has reaped a rich harvest of
coin for some years with his various
organized labor and insurance or-
ganization schemes. Those of our
contemporaries that are carrying his
advertisements, and a number of them
are doing 50, should drop them from
their columns at once,
We can but confess to considerable
surprise as a result of the course Rey.

Since writing the above we have re-
ceived from the managing editor of

Dear Sir: ] am sorry tovhave been
the means of protonging your uncer-
‘tainty regarding the story you repub-
ished concerning W. G. Critchlow,
‘but insorder that there be no doubt
left in my own mfnd regarding our
action in the matter, I referred to the
files. With considerable difficulty ana
perhaps too much time, I found the
item to which you referred.
We made no retraction and do not
think we will. We are pretty famil-
jar with Critehlow's history here and
are convinced that it would be no
easy matter to libel a man whose
character is so vulnerable as is his.
Every word published in our story is
true and the half was not told,
Critchlow fs a pretty smooth crook
and no doubt he is creating great
bluster about your office, threatening,
libel suit and otherwise trying to in-
timidate you. You might make in-
quiry at ‘the state prison as to bis
record there if you desire further as-
surance as to who and what he is.
Trusting that our delay may not
have been great inconvenience to you,
Tam yours very truly,
ML. BEARD,
Managing Editor,
It Rev. Robinson, editor of the Day-
ton Citizen, had been as anxious to
show loyalty to his own people and
the race press as he evidently was to
sustain Critchlow, he would have se-
‘cured the information contained in the
Journal editor's communication, easier
and quicker than The Gazette has,
living as he does in the same town.
We cannot, for the life of us, under-
stand the disposition he has shown in
this matter, nor do we understand the
persistency in continuing the publica-
tion of the Critchlow advertisements
that the Indianapolis Freeman, the
Odd Fellows’ Journal and other race
papers show. Stop it, confreres!
Show proper consideration for the
financial Interests of hundreds and
thousands of our poor people, mainly
in the south, who not only need your
protection but are entitled to it. Re-
‘publish the Dayton Journal article,
and {ts managing editor's letter to
The Gazette, if you cannot republish
this entire editorial. DO YOUR
CLEAR DUTY! in this matter, at

She Atchison Giobe says that no ad-
vertiser has ever tried to control its ed-
torial policy, the remark being occa-
sioned by the charge often made nowa-
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers. ’
‘The experience of the Globe is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal of ad-
vertising is more interested In the clr-
culation department of a newspaper
than in. theeditorial department. If a
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and 1s read by them, he Is satls-
fied, and it may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
of his own, and he isn't trying to shoul
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and a good many of them, more’s the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
‘pay their money for advertising space.
‘The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic officescekers, whose
first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
Great corporations, and the voice of
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
‘The average western newspaper usv-
ally is controlled by its owner, and he
1s supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts of
times; there are people who consider
it his duty to insult his advertisers,
just to show that he fs free and inde-
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him thelr
money, and make it possible for him to
carry on the business, he is “subst-
dized” or “‘controlled.” ‘The newspaper
owner is a business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer-
‘chants are expected to have considera:
tion for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron.

Mexico's President Has Had
Many Thrilling Escapes.
Near Death on Battlefield Many
Times—Swims Through Shark:
Infested Water to Safety
‘on kaiarnan Seaman,
Mexico City—The career of Sir
Porfirio Diaz, who has just been re-
elected president of Mexico, forms a
veritable romihce of adventure and
thrilling escapes from death.
Perhaps his narrowest escape from
his enemies, however, was in 1875,
after he had led a futile insurrection
‘against the government. At that time
Diaz was running for the presidency
against Juarez, ‘The people wanted
Diaz, the politictans Juarez, and Diaz
finally took the field with his sup-
porters, determined to fight {t out, He
was defeated, driven from Mextco,
and took refuge in New Orleans. He
then communicated with his friends,
and decided to return and continue
the fight.
With this end in view he took pass-
age secretly on the City of Havana
under the name of “Dr, de la Doza.”
Unfortunately, when the vessel
reached Tampico a large body of
troops were taken on board, As it
happened, the very man who had re-
cently ‘defeated Diay and his men was
among them. It is assumed that Diaz
thought he was about to be captured.
At all events, he slipped of his
clothes, rushed from his stateroom
and plunged overboard, beginning a
plucky swim, through bad, sharky
water, for some American vessels ly-
ing In the distance, A boat was low-
ered, and the unfortunate general was
rescued and brought back to the
steamer,
He was a striking figure, and as he
stepped on the gangway some of the

men thought they recognized Dias
and shouted his name. But luckily a
woman who was a friend of the gen-
eral's saw the situation and, seizing
‘a sheet from the stateroom, rushed
down the gangway and threw the
sheet over his head, so that he passed
through the crowd and so reached his
stateroom,
Captire seemed almost certain. The
soldiers who had seen Diaz come
aboard had reported to the colonel,
who prompted looked into the matter
and found that the supposed Diaz had
come aboard as “Dr. de la Roza,” Ho
at once went to the captain and de-
manded the surrender of Diaz, ‘The
colonel could not speak English, and
the captain could not speak Spanish,
so Mr. Coney, the purser, was sent
for.
Now, Mr. Coney, who, for the im-
portant part he played in this exciting
episode, was afterward rewarded by
the grateful Diaz with the post of con-
sul general of Mexico at San Fran-
cisco, had seen Diaz in the stateroom,
and, in response to a Masonic signal
of distress which Diaz made, had de-
cided to ald the fugitive to his utmost
—Coney himself being a Mason.
‘Therefore, when, having translated
the colonel’s demand to the captain,
the latter said he could not deliver
up the supposed Diaz, but it the
colonel liked he could place sentries
at the door so that Diaz could not es-
cape.
‘Then as the sentry went reeling to
leeward, Coney suddenly opened the
door of the stateroom, and Diaz
walked swiftly forward and safely
reached Coney’s storeroom. Here he
was at once put In a clothes press.
Each night Coney took Diaz out of
his wardrobe in order that he might
exercise his cramped limbs, putting
him in his own bed and locking him
up in the wardrobe again early in the
morning. Thus did Diaz elude the
‘suspicious colonel and he was still in
‘the clothes press when the vessel
‘reached Vera Cruz, Here Coney com-
‘munieated with General Enriquez, and
Diaz, with his face besmeared with
coal dust and disguised as a laborer,
was smuggled ashore.
Diaz was obliged to skulk through
the forests from Vera Cruz until he
had rallied his forces, which he did
with such success that the next bat-
tle placed him in the Mexican “white
house.”

‘Theodore Roosevelt and Party in White Steamer.)
After fifteen months absence, exact:
ly as scheduled, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt disembarked from the Kal-
serin Auguste Victoria, Saturday morn-
ing, June 18, at 11 a.m. To the keen
disappointment of a large group of
newspaper correspondents, Mr, Roose-
volt absolutely refused, as heretofore,
to bo interviewed or to talk on politt
cal subjects, but his rapid fire of ques:
tions showed the same virile interest
tn public affairs as before.
It the welcome tendered by the
vast throng may be considered
‘eriterion upon which to base a “re
turn from Elba,” surely there was nc
Aiscordant note in the immense recep
tlon-parade, nor in the wildly clamor
‘ous crowd which cheered at every
glimpse and hung on his very word.

whisked away in White Steamers to
the home of Mrs. Douglas Robinson at
433 Fifth avenue. A little later, when
the procession reached the corner of
Fiftyninth street and Fifth avenue,
Colonel Roosevelt again showed hia
preference for the motor car in gen-

when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Col-

in waiting for them,
After luncheon at Mr. Robinson's
house, the entire party, including
Colonel Roosevelt, again entered White
cars and were driven to Long Island
City, where they were to take a spe-
clal train to the exPresident’s home
at Oyster Bay.
‘The supremacy of the White cars
with the Roosevelt party was again
