IN UNION THERE IS STRONGER TWENTY-EIGHT TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 34. The Hair Band X A BAND for the hair every hour of the twenty-four is the latest fad to which milady is devoting herself heart and mind. Apparently we have just discovered the neatness and beauty of bands for the hair, which should have been brought home to our intelligence long ago. For wear in the daytime, the plain band, of black velvet or other ribbon, harmonizes with hair of every color, and lends a sparkle to gray hair which is particularly beautiful. Manufacturers are making bands of many varieties to harmonize with most of the shades of hair, of which there are innumerable gradations. These bands are for daytime wear, all about two and a half inches wide. They are finished with a flat bow and fasten with hooks and eyes. For evening, wide lustrous ribbon, tulle net and spangled fabrics are used. The rosette is fastened just above the tip of the ear. Velvet ribbons in vivid shades of green—in coral and cerise, as well as black, are used with ornaments of rhinestone. Even at night, wide soft ribbons are worn when the hair is put in rollers or on pins, to conceal them and render the head slightly. The back hair, braided in two loose braids, is tied at the end. with a yard length of wide, soft ribbon. The braids are brought about the head with one length of the ribbon. The other ribbon is tied in a small bow a little to one side of the center of the brow. The band in the Idea That Makes for Comfort and Adds to Appearance of Room. Brass beds look charming and at attractive and often brighten an otherwise dark bedroom, but many people complain that they are far colder than an ordinary wooden bed that has a high head and footboard to protect them from drafts. To overcome this objection a clever woman devised a scheme which not only corrected this defect, but also added a decorative note to the room. The hangings and window seat were made of gray chintz, having garlands of pink roses scattered over the surface. She bought more of this material and made covers that slipped easily over the brass rods at the head and foot of the bed. These were finished at the bottom with dainty frills of the material. A frill was also fastened around the mattress, which showed beneath the bedspread. The covers were found not only to add much to the physical comfort, but were also useful in protecting the brass from the usual dents and scratches that are apt to come with the daily wear and tear of a much used room. They were made to be removed easily if required for special occasions. NIGHTDRESS. This dainty nightdress might be made in nailscook or fine Indian calico; the fullness at neck is drawn up and set to a narrow band of beading edged with lace; ribbon is threaded through and tied in front. An insertion band is taken round below bust and ended off in points each side. The pulled sleeves are drawn in with insertion bands and finished with lace-edged frills. Materials required: 4½ yarda 36 inches wide, 1 yard insertion, 1¼ yard beading, 1½ yard wide, 1½ yard narrow lace. THE GAZETTE J hair, finished with bow or rosette, is universally becoming. From babyhood to old age the ribbon in the hair is a feminine privilege of which we should make the most. It is not a matter of fashion, but a permanent institution. The adjustment, the width of ribbons and styles in the hands may vary, but the band, like the hair, is always correct. It is a finish to the collure, useful and beautiful. New Undergarments That Can Be Laundered Quickly and Easily Anywhere. When you see some of the soft, clingy, and entirely adorable crepe lingerie which is shown in the French shops now you will simply throw discretion to the winds, take out the bill you were fondly cherishing for something or other and have the temptress—who in this case is the little sales lady with the queer accent—wrap up your pet piece. Then you'll hurry home to "try it on," revel in the possession of it and linger over the luxury of its dainty laces and fascinating ribbon bows. And really you won't be so indiscreet after all, especially if you are a girl without the privilege of a home, because the crepe lingerie doesn't require a laudress to be made fresh and clean. Usually it is combined with real torchon or Irish crochet, both of which can be pulled into shape without the aid of an iron. Many a girl who travels has found it impossible to gratify her longing for dainty underwear because of the uncertainties of laudering. After having it returned a few times torn and spoiled, she has settled down to plain garments devoid of any of the irresistible little feminine touches. For her the silk crepe idea will be a positive joy, for she can retire to her hotel bathroom and, with the assistance of a cake of good, pure soap, may restore her lingerie to its pristine glory and loveliness. The new garments come in every weight from the heaviest silk crepe to the filmselts crepe de chine, built into nightgowns, chemise, corset covers, combinations and patticoats. They are shown in white and colors and many are elaborately embroidered in self-tone silk. Another idea for the traveler or the girl away from home is the Italian silk undergarment. It is most familiar as an undervest, but so popular and practical has it proven that it has been extended to cover the entire lingerie wardrobe.—Washington Star. How to Choose a Teapot. The real secret in choosing a teapot, be it made of silver, crown derby or even the humble but useful brown "mug," is this: Never buy a teapot with the root of the spout low down in the body of the pot. Let the spout be set high in the body, then you can fill the pot well up, without the tea dribbling over, as it never fails to do when having a lowbuilt spout close to the teapot's foundation. Far too many fancy articles are made and sold more fit to stand among chimney piece ornaments than to brew and pour that welcome beverage which cheers, but does not inebriate. Smocking on Girls' Dresses Smocking is being done generously on the frocks of little children, the pink and blue threads on white are lovely. One wonders why they have been so slow getting here. One smocked in yoke in points is scalloped in the neck and finished with baby Armenian lace. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE.

LIFE'S DISAPPOINTMENTS ANTICIPATION (Copyright, 1910.) TUSKEGEE TEAC ANTICIPATION (Copyright, 1910.) REALIZATION In "Chapters from My Experience" which Booker T. Washington is contributing to the World's Work, he furnishes a sequel to his "Up From Slavery." The latter is a story of a struggle to escape from the repressive conditions into which he was born. The former takes the public into his confidence with respect to his life work, and shows the paths he has followed, sometimes necessarily devious, but finally bringing him to the goal of success. In the current installment he points out that one of the advantages that his race enjoys as new to the higher privileges and responsibilities of civilization is that it is not hampered by tradition with respect to educational methods. It has had to break through none of the restraints of line-spun theories, but can avail itself of any of the processes for mental development that seem best adapted to its particular needs. When he has completed has story it will make a valuable addition to any educational library. It will benefit those who teach white students as well as instructors of these of his own color, because there is no radical difference in the most effective methods of approach to the comprehension of the two races. In his service as a teacher he has had to learn as well as to instruct. He has even had to grope his way at times, and has frequently profited by hints from the most common happenings and things. One sultry day, when just before the recess hour he had been conducting a rather unprofitable lesson in geography, he released his charges for a play spell, which they improved by scampering off to the cooling marshes nearby, as he going with them. The dullness of the school room with its study atmosphere was replaced by enthusiasm in the freedom of the open and as they waded into the cooling water with vague ideas of what they had been trying to learn, they suddenly became discoverers, finding capes, islands and peninsulas navigable streams along which they sent their own argosies, sites for cities and location for manufacturing plants, and in one play-hour they acquired more real knowledge than they could have gained from their books in weeks. This was in his groping days, but he never lost the inspiration received from that revelation, and has used it ever since as a key to unlock the interest of the dulest pupil. The commencement oration of one of his students last May was upon cabbages. it was a subject that he understood and made interesting. He had the product with him on the stage, cabbages of exceptionally fine quality The annual lumber cut in the coast forests of Alaska is about 27,000,000 board feet, mostly spruce. Domestic exports in 1909 were: Corn, $24,299,000; wheat, $48,978,000; cotton, $41,777,000; oil, $99,749,000.

For now nearly eight years a group of colored people in the city of Boston have kept up a constant and often a senseless agitation of the "color question." The white people of Boston have been reminded almost daily, in season and out of season, that they have colored people in their midst who are treated differently from the rest of the human family. The agitators have stuck to their job. What is the result? What has Boston gained through this senseless and unwise agitation? Let us examine the facts. Twelve or fifteen years ago the colored people of Boston were represented in the city council by at least one colored man. Now, unless we are greatly mistaken, they have none. Twelve or fifteen years ago the colored people usually and at least one colored man in the lower house of the Legislature. Now they have none. Ten or twelve years ago the colored people were represented by having one of their number a member of the city school board; now they have no representation. A few years ago the colored people were even honored by having one of their number a member of the Governor's Council; now they have no such representation. Formerly the colored people of Massachusetts were honored by having one of their number sent as a delegate or alternate to every National Republican Convention; now they are not accorded such representation. We ask again, what has this insane and blind policy of perpetual agitation gained for the colored people of Boston.—New York Age. PROVERBS AND PHRASES.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In one of his masterly studies of "the wreckage along the sunken ways of life," Balzac pictures a domestic scene in which the husband, goaded to desperation by which has befallen him, wreaks vengeance upon the despoiler of his home, but does not harm the guilty wife. One of the characters is surprised at the husband's self-restraint in not killing the wife also. And then the author observes through another character that "only a Negro would do a thing like that." I was stung at this finding in the higher reaches of literature such a thrust as that against the Negro. I know the remark was not born of race prejudice because the author was a Frenchman—not an American, Nobody but a Negro would do a thing like that— that is, murder his wife along with her paramour. The remark haunted me for months. I tried to demonstrate its falsity by collecting examples from classic literature in different languages and of all ages. But the facts were rattier against me. I found that even Shakespeare was forced to paint Othello a black man in harmony with the fact that only a Negro would do what the hero of that great tragedy finally does do; strangle the life out of his beautiful Desdemonia whom he foolishly believes to be untrue to him. I know all of Shakespeare's characters, and know that for sheer brutality that murder surpassed anything found anywhere in his writings. And in order not to shock the sense of fitness on the part of his public it was necessary that his hero should be a black man. I turned for arguments with which to controvert Barzac's statement to current history. About that time what the author drew as fiction was being duplicated in real life. Husbands in different parts of the country were discovering the fathlessness of their wives. In every case the guilty man would be punished—shot or cut—but the wife would be spared. The frequency of late with which newspapers recount the brutal murder of their wives by Negroes has caused me to ask myself if that rascally Balzac were not right after all? We hope not, but so far the facts seem to be dead against us. Of course we do not mean to say that white men do not kill their wives under the circumstances supposed, but it is the exception rather than the rule. And unfortunately it seems to be the rule with Negroes rather than the exception. Is it a racial trait indicating out close kinship with the man of the jungles? We know that white men sometimes kill their wives—by means of poison. But this is done usually to accomplish some ulterior object—the acquisition of wealth or for love of other women. But it is always calculated, premeditated murder. When Shakespeare was writing his Otello he must have known of a case then notorious of a man who is believed to have poisoned his wife in the hope of marrying Queen Eliza beth. But the cases under consideration have reference to times when the husband is carried away, over whelmed in a torrent of jealous rage. The white man confines his wrist to the despoiler of his home, but spares the wife of his bosom, though fallen Is the Negro capable of such restrain or does he become a throwback, a wild man of the jungles? Recent his tory seems to score heavily against us on this point. It is a racial trait—Old Hickory in Dallas (Tex.) Ex press. ▲▲▲ The following test of education was formulated by a Chicago professor who accounted those of his pupils who could answer these fourteen questions in the affirmative as being educated in the very best sense of the word. Here are the questions: Has education given you sympathy with all good causes and made you espouse them? Has it made you public spirited? His it made you a brother to the weak? Have you learned how to make friends and keep them? Do you know what it is to be a friend to yourself? Can you look an honest man or a pure woman straight in the eye? Do you see anything to love in a little child. Will a lonely dog follow you in the street? Can you be high-minded and hoeing corn just as compatible with high thinking as piano playing or golf? Can you be happy alone? Can you look out on the world and see anything except dollars and cents? Can you look into a mud paddle by the wayside and see a clear sky? Can you see anything in the puddle but mud? Can you look into the sky at night and see beyond the stars? Can your soul claim relationship with the Creator? ```markdown ``` I wonder will the color line be drawn in heaven? I guess so.

AN CULLINGS You can preach race problem until you fall over, but until you preach the unadulterated gospel of "Back to the Farm," your time is lost. Being in town is very nice, but it will not make black John D. Rockefellers. The poverty-stricken Negroes in the country are bad enough, but a penniless Negro in a city or town is the most pitiable and helpless object in the world. Povery makes object a mean man out of a good man. It makes thieves of thousands of naturally honest men. It makes many a truthful man a dirty sneak. It makes a man unfit for any thing but the devil, and the devil don't want him. Honest poverty sounds all right, but it is about the poorest asset on earth to try to exchange for peace of mind and a full stomach. Outside of education, the hard cash is the only thing recognized in this world. As a rule the young country Negro, who moves to town has nothing to do, and in six months you had just as well try to elect Brian President of the United States as to try, to get him to work. As a rule you can't do anything with the young Negro who hangs around towns and cities. You can't correct him, but he won't come to church; you can't learn, and if by chance he gets an education he uses it for his worst. All men were not cut out for business, and all men were not cut out for farmers; but the Negro is more suited it seems to the farm. And the young Negro that gets it into his head to leave the farm and go to town should stop and think what he would say to a man from the city or town going out in the countrtry to get rich in a few months or even in a year. He would say that he was crazy. Well, the town man thinks the same thing when he sees a man from the country come to town with money, it does not last long, for the town man knows as much about how to get the farmers money as the farmer knows about how to plant corn and cotton—Christian index. The executive committee of the National Negro Business league which met in Tuskegee January 10, 1911 and 12, decided to and does recommend that instead of a central exposition in 1913 that the first week in October, 1913, be set apart and known as fifteenth anniversary week and that each community plan for its own local exhibition. That the schools, churches and other societies and organizations of each locality unite and co-operate for the purpose of holding such exhibitions. The principal reason given is that the time is perhaps too short to make such preparation as would be necessary for a central exposition and again congress has not as yet acted upon President Taft's recommendation that some appropriations be made for the Central Fifteenth Anniversary Exposition. The committee urges that the Negroes everywhere begin at once to organize and set in motion plans to the end that each community might have such exhibition—Western Star. ▲ ▲ ▲ The religion of the average colored man is nothing more than hypocrisy in a most concise form. It is emotional, and lasts as long as he is within the walls of the church. Afterwards, he will rip his brother up the back and do many other things contrary to his obligations in religious rites. We must be a little more devoted and true to our God.—Palestine (Tex). Plaindealer. ▲▲▲ While we do not in any sense oppose what is called the higher education for the girls and boys of our race, yet we think that the trades offer large opportunity for successful lives to many who will never have an opportunity to go through a college or a university. Let some of the boys strive and become first class brickmakers and masons, some good stonecutters and carpenters, some tailors, others farmers. Let the girls learn in addition to grammar and arithmetic how to roast a piece of meat, bake a loaf of bread, wash a window and scrub a floor. In other words, let them learn how to do common things of home life. Let our schools teach the true dignity of labor, as well as the sciences and polite literature. ```markdown ``` Bad manners and repulsive ways have been the greatest hindrance to thousands of our people who have been struggling for years to get above the common level of poverty, misery and ignorance.

It 1s not our purpose, at this time, to argue the correctness of either asser- tion, but to inquire from those who wish to make the change whether they do not deom it necessary to pre- serve in theory—for a coming enact. ment in practice—that form of gov- ernment which the Constitution of our Jand (as it was perfected through the results of the war for the preservation of Government by the people, through the people. for the people, to use a Lincoln phrase) guarantees to the people, ALL the people, which of course includes the Afro-American.

WHITENED SEPULCHERS IN : CLASSIC, ° On the Mexican affair, Ex-President Roosevelt in his speech at El Paso, ‘Texas, March 15, said: “Honest deal- ing between man and man was the only certain foundation of prosperity. ‘The same thing was true of the rela: tions of communities to each other.” Pausing, as though to select his words, he then said he thought he spoke for all Americans when he said ‘that all the United States demanded of Mexico was “order, justice, inde- pendence.” He said, further, that this country only demanded of its neigh- bor, that “order should reign within its borders; and that order should be established upon justice.” Great, isn't it? And now, suppose with lynch- anarchy stalking through too many of our states, mob violence being rether common, corruption stinking to hea- yen, dishonesty (if T. R. is to be be- }ieved) being a Kind of trade brand with us, suppose Mexico should turn the tables on us and demand of the United States that we live up to these requirements of civilization, first, our selves, before we demand them from Sthers?

That reason is found in the unbearable situation which the Constitution was adopted to end, as the Founders of the Republic saw its causes, and as Mr. Lodge thus accurately describes it and them: ‘The makers of the Constitution + +" “also dealt with certain ques- tions in regard to which they had a peculiar and expert knowledge. ‘This was emphatically so with the question now before us for consideration, + * "They had seen the Continen: tal congress, which had declared inde- pendence, raised armies and made al- lances, decline into helplessness and discredit untiF it had become a heavier burden to Washington than the enemy in his front. ‘They had seen the Con- federation which the Continental Con- gress had established come into be- ing, enjoy a sickly life and finally sink into Imbecility, while the states quarreled among themselves and do- mestic disorder began to rear its ugly head. And by all these disasters and misfortunes they became convinced that the fundamental cause of the failure of the Continental Congress and of the Confederation alike as Schemes of government was that the central government had relations only with the states and was absolutely at their merey. The states were discordant and with them thelr people. ‘The central government had no contract with the people and no claims on their loyalty. There was no Nation, there was only a group of jarring states. The mak- ers of the Constitution met the dift- culty and made a Nation by ‘an ar- rangement at once bold and simple, scientifically sound and eminently practical,” as Senator Lodge: well says, and which he thus describes: They established a government which dealt not with the states, but directly with the people of the states, They brought the central government | into immediate contact with the In- dividual man. ‘They created a real citizenship of the United States, * * It ig not too much to say that among all the great solutions which these men presented for the diffigilt pro- lems they were called upon to meet this was the most remarkable. It certainly was the most vital, It breathed the breath of life into the government of the Constitution. In accordance with that policy the fourteen words emphasized above were inserted in the Constitution. It is true that the power thus reserved to the central government has not at all times nor fully been exercised. But as Senator Lodge truly says: | ‘That the United States should have tis Dower in reserve Was fundamen al. ‘NO GOVERNMENT CAN HOPE TO LIVE IF IT CANNOT PROVIDE | THE MEANS BY WHICH IT LIVES, | F IT CANNOT PROTECT ITS OWN EXISTENCE, Senator Lodge holds that a mere change from indirect to direct elec- ion of Senators would, of and by it-| self, have been Immaterial—a mere | “change in the mechanism,” which ‘does not touch the principtes upon | which the government rests.” We disagree with him, for it is obvious | what such change would have im- paired the entity of the state, as the | change actually proposed would have | Jestroyed the sovereignty of the Na- don. And that would have been the effect of the revolutionary proposal happily defeated by the votes of pa-| irlotic Senators acting without respect | to party affiliations, For it was pro- posed by chaiige in the Constitution, | a8 Mr, Lodge says: To put the United States govern- ment, 80 far as the election of Sena-| ‘ors fs concerned, at the mercy of the states—to take from the United States any power to protect its citizens in ihe exercise of their rights, no matter now great the need for sitch protec- jon. * * ¢) TWENTY-THREE | STATES, THOUGH INCLUDING: ONLY A’ MINORITY OF THE POPU: LATION, COULD AT ANY TIME AR-| REST THE MOVEMENT OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND STOP ALL OPERATIONS. How a molety of states, with a mi- nority of population, having plenary power to choose Senators in any man- her and to bind Seuators, as a condi ton of election, in any manner that local whim, Interest or prejudice might suggest, could tle the Nation's: hands is self-evident. ‘The power re- served to Congress to “make or alter such regulations” is an essential en a noe.

Antioch is adding to its membership each month a fine class of young men and women. This assures it @ splendid future. In St. John's church, Sunday atter- noon, Judge U. L.

Remember that sound character and upright living is more to be desired than political pret- erence.” Greatest Thing in Life.
