TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 38. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS IN MUTOR TREASURES INFINITA There are three classes of negro thinkers in this country—the first, who are ultra-optimistic, that might be styled rainbow chasers and idealists. The second are those who might be called pessimists, who see nothing but the dark side of the race, and imagine all other races are against them. They see no future for the race in this country; they are forever raising a howl over some imaginary wrongs done them, both by other races and their own; in their mind everything is going to the bow-wows; the world is constantly growing worse in their estimation. These are but the figments of their morbid and unculivated imaginations. There is a constant conflict between these two classes—they are forever clashing. The one chases butterflies and believes that the millionium is not far off; they dwell forever in the land of Utopia. Not in 2,000 years will their dreams be realized; they are simply air cast buildings; they contribute a very little to the sum total to the race's credit. But the pessimistic class is even more obnoxious than these; for they see nothing but bad continually. They are old croakers and forever whining and complaining over some imaginary wrong done them; they are miserable themselves and make others so. If you ask them what do they think of the race's future, they 'ell you unhesitatingly, by the shake of the head, that the race is going backward; that its enemies are increasing, and that the prediction and ruin of the whole race are not far off, that it is only a question of time when the entire negro people will be no more; that he will be a has-been rather than an is. And so the conflict goes on between these two classes. Neither one of these classes is of much benefit and credit to the race, for they contribute such a little of the sum total of our material and moral well being that they practically amount to nothing, so far as the race's progress and uplift is concerned. Every race has them, but it seems that they are in a greater proportion among our people. Now, there is a third class who take the middle ground. They reason from experience and history; they realize that all progress is governed by the law of evolution; that it takes time and patience for these great forces to reach a culmination. They read the history of other peoples of the world, and learn that their present development and civilization have been gradual, that it has taken centuries for them to reach their present degree of perfection. And they rea son that we can be no exception to the rule. They reason that everything in the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdom is subject to this inevitable law of evolution; that God so ordained it, and from it there is no escape. This class constitutes our hope for the future, for they see things in their right relation; they know that society is not what it ought to be, even among the people who have attained to the highest plane in civilized life; that there are numbers of evils in the community life, both in England and America, whose people are regarded as the highest type of civilized mankind. How can, then, a people who have just emerged from slavery expect to reach their full development in 50 years? It is unreasonable; it is absurd. And any class of people who take gloomy and unreasonable views of things is not in the position to do much to better the conditions of the race. The truth of the matter is that no people, under similar circumstances, could have made greater progress than ours since they have been emancipated. Therefore, people, both white and black, who seem to shut their eyes to the advancement that the negro people have made in education, morals and in wealth within the 50 years that they have been emancipated. We submit that he has not made the progress that it was possible for him to make. What race has? We admit that he has made blunders that we might reasonably expect he might not have made. The Dispatch has always felt that he has allowed himself too often to fall into crimes, especially the petty kind, which disgraces even worse in the eyes of the world than those that are enormous. For instance, the man who steals a chicken off the roost is looked down upon with more contempt than the man who steals a bank. The negro woman who steals an old hat from the place where she serves is looked down upon with greater scorn than one who steals diamonds aggregating thousands of dollars in value. Of course, both are crimes, but that is the way the public looks upon it. These are the things the Dispatch deplores, and wishes that our people might steer clear of them. It would raise us very greatly in the estimation of other people if this weakness was overcome, namely petty theft. But, be that as it may, the fact remains that great progress has been made by the negro people along all lines. They have reduced their illiteracy to less than 50 per cent; they pay taxes on nearly $500,000,000 worth of property in this country; they own thousands and thousands of acres of THE GAZETTE land, and thousands of good, nice homes. Many thousands of them are good, prosperous farmers, and have excellent bank accounts; there are over 50 banks to their credit owned and controlled by negroes entirely. They have numbers of industrial insurance companies, giving employment to thousands. They have many excellent newspapers, that are giving information and molding and shaping negro opinion in the direction of good citizenship; and the policies of most of these papers are, with few exceptions, to cement a friendly relation between the whites and the blacks. We shall not attempt to enumerate the many lines of progress along which the race is advancing. We know that the race has many things to learn and many obstacles to overcome; and we know, too, that they cannot be overcome in a day—it is contrary to reason to expect it. In obedience to the great law of evolution, we know that we must make progress slowly; that there must be the lapse of years for us to measure up the world's standard; but the Dispatch believes that we will do it; it bases its hope upon the progress already made and the possibility of the race as manifested by its already 50 years of progress—Macon (Ga.) Dispatch. Don't try to get away from your own race, Mr. Prosperous Negro. Don't forget the rock from whence you were hewn. Don't kick over the ladder upon which you climbed from obscurity to respectable public notice. It is often the case that when a negro begins to get up in the world that he finds his own race and its efforts very unsatisfactory. Quit this meanness. It is a crime of which negroes are alone guilty—Dallas (Tex.) Express. The Ninth cavalry was one of the regiments ordered to the Mexican border, along with other troops from various army posts. Since returning from the Philippines, two years ago, the Ninth has been stationed at Fort D A. Russell, Wyoming. The entire regiment left Fort Russell on Wednesday morning and will form a part of the cavalry division of General Carter's army in Texas. The Ninth cavalry is the only negro regiment that was involved in the movement. The veterans of the regiment will be on familiar ground, as many of them have served on the Mexican border in previous years. If anything serious should develop the Ninth can be depended upon to give a good account of itself—Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. It is not the critic who counts—not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives, valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, but who does actually strive to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he falls, at least falls while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat—Springfield (III). Forum. The movement, inaugurated some time ago, to have negro dental surgeons in the United States army, is about to yield tangible results. Dr. John R. Francis, Jr., has been appointed for service in one of the colored regiments, and he will have the rank, privileges and emoluments of a first leutenant. Doctor Francis has already passed two physical examinations and has gone to Columbus Barracks, Ohio, for further examinations. The matter was pushed to a successful conclusion by several influential colored men, here and elsewhere, and it is understood that this is to be attached to each of the four colored regiments of the army, just as the four bandmasters were arranged for a year or two ago.-Richmond (Va.) Reformer John Brown, who has made himself famous for getting religion every time that there has been a revival, has again come to the front, upholding that reputation. John went up again this week. When asked concerning the preceding times, John said that the last ones failed to take, and that it was his intention to keep on going every year until he was possessor of the real article, or until one of the others "took." He was asked whether he would again be baptised this year. He said, "Certainly, I intend to keep on being baptised until my sins are washed away, or I am sufficiently cleansed that I believe that I can enter the pearly gates. The Bible says that no one can enter unless their sins have been washed away, and there is no better way in which to wash them than to be repeatedly baptised. Anyway, it is a matter which concerns only myself, so good-bye." With this the correspondent "beat it."—Springfield (III.) Forum. It now seems practically certain that Liberia has been saved.

Every man owes a sacred duty to his home, to the young who come after him and to his community. The man who ignores these claims is unworthy of American citizenship and the blessings of our twentieth century civilization. It is the duty of every man enjoying freedom and liberty to so act that the young men coming after will be profited by emulating his examples. In politics, in business and in the social life, he should remember that the future of his race depends upon his conduct; and his actions will be a help, lifting his people up to the plane of usefulness and worth and honor, or it will be a blindness retarding the progress of those who struggle to win in life's battles.—The Torchlight. CONFIDENCE IN WASHINGTON New York Negroes Adopt Resolutions Expressing Faith in Noted Educator. New York (Special).—At a mass meeting of more than 500 negroes in the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church resolutions were adopted expressing confidence in and affection for Dr. Booker T. Washington, the negro educator, who recently was injured during an encounter with Albert Ulrich, a white man, in this city. President Taft was warmly praised for writing his letter of sympathy to Washington following the alleged assault. Rev. R. C. Ransom, pastor of the church, in opening the meeting, said: "If Doctor Washington had been a white man, this meeting would not be necessary; not because we care less for a worthy man of the white race, but when an accusation, however unjust, or a suspicion, however unfounded, is lodged against a negro, public sentiment may be more quickly infamed, and if a white woman gives her word, it would stand against the whole world, so far as a negro's word is concerned.

QUESTIONS. Out of the silent dark a voice seemed asking: What have you promised Life, oh, brother, say? That you should hang upon Life's promises? What have you given Life, oh, brother, pray? That you are hungry for the gifts of Life? Like a child by the sea, you sit, gathering the pearls. And to the sea, brother, what cast you in return? Rather a wise and smiling soul, on bended knees. You should receive each blessing as it comes; Receive the pain without a word and praise the gladness; Be thankful that you live and know your God! Macaroni and Ham Macaron and Ham.

CONFIDENCE IN WASHINGTON New York Negroes Adopt Resolutions Expressing Faith in Noted Educ- ator. New York (Special).—At a mass meeting of more than 500 negroes in the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church resolutions were adopted expressing confidence in and affection for Dr. Booker T. Washington, the negro educator, who recently was injured during an encounter with Albert Ulrich, a white man, in this city. President Taft was warmly praised for writing his letter of sympathy to Washington following the alleged assault. Rev. R. C. Ransom, pastor of the church, in opening the meeting, said: "If Doctor Washington had been a white man, this meeting would not be necessary; not because we care less for a worthy man of the white race, but when an accusation, however unjust, or a suspicion, however unfounded, is lodged against a negro, public sentiment may be more quickly inflamed, and if a white woman gives her word, it would stand against the whole world, so far as a negro's word is concerned. We are not here to assail the discredited accusers of Doctor Washington, but to vouch for our confidence in him." Rev. A. C. Powell said: "When I first saw the papers with the account of the assault on Doctor Washington, I felt like getting a mob and stringing the man responsible for it by the thumbs, but a minute later I changed my mind, and knew that nothing since the emancipation would so tend to help the negro race or bring it closer together than this very thing." COLORED MAY ENTER CANADA Dominion Has No Immigration Regulation Specifically Relating to Negroes. Washington (Special).—In response complaints that negro immigrants from America would be refused admission to Canada, the state department asked United States Consul Foster, at Ottawa, whether, under Canadian law, any American citizens as a class could be excluded on account of their color. The department received a reply stating that there were no Canadian immigration regulations specifically relating to colored immigrants, if not in prohibited classes, and each possessor of $25 cash and transportation was entitled to admission. This information will be telegraphed to American Consul Jones at Winnipeg. Some Colored Men Held at Border. Winnipeg, Man., (Special).—Officers of the immigration department left for Emerson on the border, to stop the entry into Canada of 165 negroes from Oklahoma, who planned to settle in Cleveland northwest. The railroad company has appealed to Washington, and Consul General Jones has been instructed to go down to see that they get through. NEW NEGRO HIGH SCHOOL Colored Baptists of Georgia Will Erect a High School at Jackson. Jackson, Ga. (Special)—Jackson has been selected by the colored Baptists of this association as the site for a high school which will be erected here in the near future. Those in charge of the project have already bought the site, four acres of land, in the northern part of the city, near the waterworks plant. On this piece of ground will be erected a colored high school that will serve the educational needs of this section, this being the third school in a chain of institutions being erected by the negroes of the Baptist association. Prominent members of the race met here last week to work out the plans for the building. NO NEGROES ARE RECRUITED Only White Men Being Accepted at the Various Stations. New Orleans (Special).—Negroes are not being recruited for the United States army, according to Sergeant Shaw of the local recruiting station. "We have not enlisted a negro here in months," he said. "It is the policy of the government to keep the four negro regiments filled, and no more. The few vacancies in the negro regiments are filled by enlistment of negroes who have seen service in the volunteer infantry." Balt for Burglars. "John," sald Mrs. Brown, sitting up suddenly in bed, "there's a burglar in the place!" "Nonsense," replied her husband, drowsily. "I'm quite right," she returned. "I can hear him distinctly crossing the floor of the room below. Now—" excted; "he's lighting one of those cigars I gave you for your birthday, I heard him pick up the box and put it down again." Then John sat up and listened. "By Jove, Mary, you're right!" he answered. "He is. He's actually smoking one of the—er—er—those cigars." Then he nestled once more comfortably beneath the blankets. "Go to sleep again, Mary, he said, complacently. "We'll find the poor wretch in the morning." SEA'S BURIED GOLD LURE OF LOST TREASURE HUNT- NG NOT ALL FICTION. Millions Hidden Under Ocean—Some Has Been Recovered, but Much Remains to Be Found—Case of John Phipps. Boston.—Not all the tales of vast treasures buried deep under the sea are evolved in the minds of novelists. Robert Louis Stevenson and a dozen other writers have made such stories famous, but there have been men, real men, who have profited by secrets of buried gold, real gold. In fact, some of the real stories of lost and recovered treasure can give points to romance and beat it with ease. The successful adventures of John Phipps are a case in point. Phipps, who had been a ship's carpenter, towards the end of the seventeenth century, spent years trying to convince various peers that there lay a vast Spanish treasure under the sea off Hispaniola. At last, the Duke of Albemarle lent him a ship, with the result that, after a year of adventure Phipps returned to England, bringing with him recovered treasure worth $1,000,000. Phipps' welcome when he returned to England with this freight resulted, through the influence of the Duke of Albemarle, who shared his treasure, in knighthood and an appointment as governor of Massachusetts. Ever since the time of Phipps, the search for gold has gone on. However, although centuries have passed, many a million still lies on the bottom of the ocean, and it may continue there centuries longer. Perhaps the most valuable sunken treasure in the world is now lying at the bottom of Vigo bay. The Spanish, in 1702, to avoid capture, scuttled their largest ships laden with treasure, the harvest of four years' looting in Mexico. The treasure, in gold, silver and previous stones, is estimated to be worth $10,000,000. On one of the islands of the Leeward group in the West Indies, either Marie Galanti or Descada La Fitte, a French pirate of 100 years ago, buried gold and specie to the value of $1,000,000. Among the other treasures of the ocean is the wreck of the Black Laden With Treasure. Prince, which lies at the bottom of the sea off Sevatopol. The Black Prince was dispatched to Sevatopol with a general cargo for the army and $500,000 as service pay. It was sunk the day of its arrival by Russian gun fire, and went down with its cargo and treasure, none of which has ever been recovered. Another English vessel containing a large amount in specie is the East Indiaman Grosvenor, now lying under water off St. John's, Cape Colony. As an amusing instance of the way in which lost treasure can grow by rumor, Captain Kidd's hoard is instructive. When Kidd was hanged in London in May, 1701, a shipmate of Kidd's said that the captain had hidden about $1,500 worth of plate and coln, which he had not been able to recover. From this small beginning sprang the innumerable stories of Captain Kidd's hoards, the last of which placed the amount at $5,000,000. Find $1,250,000 in Old House London.—Treasure trove to the value of $1,250,000 is reported from Jersey, where it was uncovered by Athelstan Riley while he was pulling down the ruins of an old manor house built in the thirteenth century with the object of using the stone to enlarge his present manor. The discovery includes ancient urns filled with spade gulneas bearing the British arms on a spade-shaped shield. One urn bears the monogram of Emperor Vespasian, the Roman who flourished in the first century. Bay Travels 10,000 Miles Atchison, Kan—Howard, son of Major and Mrs. Horace D. Bloomberg, who arrived in Atchison with his mother the other day, since his birth, seven weeks ago, has traveled ten thousand miles. He came from Manila to San Francisco on an army transport. He is believed to be the greatest traveled baby of his age in the United States. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. For Little Misses 42 WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY SINGLE COP For Littl ACY braids, embroidered batistie and mui, nets, laces, hair braids and silk go to make up the majority of hats for young girls and smaller misses. The shapes are more soft and bonnet like than ever and narrow side plaitings of sheer fabrics and lace are more favored than ever. Cascades of plaited ruffles fall about and over considerable of the face. Soft puffed crowns look like quaint old-time ideas revived for youthful wearers. When the baby girl graduates from the regulation baby bonnet, she will don a bonnet-like hat, or a bonnet made on a light wire frame, quite elaborately trimmed with ribbons and lace and small flowers. Ribbons have always been the favorite trimming for children's millinery. This spring season it is to be used in greater abundance than ever. Small roses, tiny rose foliage and other little flowers like the forget-me-not and valley-illy, the cow-slip and tiny daisy, continue to reign as favorites for children. There is a little round hat made by shirring a large circle of silk or embroidered batistie or other sheer fabrics, on feather-bone. Four rows of shirring form the up-turned brim, and the crown is just a puff of the material. This little cap is finished with a big rosette made of wide ribbon shirred. A variation of this model has a silk crown and brim of point de esprit. It is a highly successful novelty. The regular plain bonnet is in high favor, and numbers of little hats are simply diminutives of the simple shawns worn by grown-ups. They are simply trimmed with ribbon. Fig. 1 shows a pretty model of thin silk and lace Tuscan braid. The light wire shape is faced with silk and bound with braid. A soft tan crown of silk makes a foundation for the PRETTY BLOUSE. Any one who likes to feel their throats free will be pleased with this blouse, which is cut in rather a low square. The material is arranged in tucks across front that are stitched to the bust; at the back there are three tucks each side. The square is outlined with embroidery that is continued down the wrap over right front. The sleeves are trimmed with a point of embroidery, and are gathered into wrist-bands covered with the same. Materials required: 2% yards 25 inches wide, 2% yards embroidery. Effective New Work. An easy combination of materials that is being utilized for table covers, lamp mats, magazines and book covers and sofa pillows, is burlap with cut leather. The design is cut from the leather, either suede or the soft glazed varieties, then is stitched to the burlap background, which shows a contrasting color. Sometimes velvet is used instead of the leather, especially in sofa pillows and often along the line of stitching are sewn small brass or metal beads, to look like tiny nails. What French Brides Are Wearing. French brides have taken to wearing bridal dresses of maille or tulle in combination with Brussels lace flouces and voluminous enveloping vells are also of the maille or tulle. IN UNION THEM ESTHEDITH Y FIVE CENTS. e Misses large circle of lace Tuscan which is posed over brim and crown. Ribbon, wide and soft, is laced through the braid and tied in a two-looped bow with hanging ends at the back. It is a model which may be worn by children from four to fourteen years old. A pretty model for an older girl is shown in Fig. 2. The wire frame in this is covered first with chiffon, which is shirred for the facing. The hat is covered with row after row of side plaited lace on top of the crown, and about the brim. At the side crown, the plaited lace is omitted and little stalks of lily-of-the-valley are set plainly over the chiffon. A sash of wide soft ribbon finished with an immense bow at the back makes a complete finish for the hat. But a bunch of cow-slips or other small flowers may be added at the front, as shown in the picture. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. DUTCH COLLAR AND CUFFS Dainty Frills That Are Designed to Lighten Up a Dark Costume. The girl who likes to lighten a dark costume with dainty frills, should make herself one of the sets of rounding Dutch collar and cuffs in plaited lawn. The frills are made of fine white lawn or dotted muslin, and are cut three and a half inches wide for the collar, and two inches for the cuffs. Mark the edge in a tiny scallop with a spool of two hundred cotton, and buttonhole in white or colored mercerized cotton in a shallow line. When finished sew into eight of an inch side plains and sew into narrow band the right length to fit around wrist and neck. The frill falls softly from the band or in the sleeves may be inverted and turned back, being caught at one side with a lace plin. Instead of arranging in plaits, which are hard to iron, the frills may be run in thread tucks to give the fullness. This model is good for high turnover effects and for the Dutch collar. For the latter the strip should be made narrower at the ends than in the middle. Surah Silka Again Surah will silk in solid color is a material which is claiming much favor, being used by the best model houses in Paris for making tailored suits and three-piece costumes. This new surah has a high luster surface and is used in exactly the same manner as satins have been so freely employed recently. Surah is especially well adapted for summer use in America. It is durable, sufficiently dressy for a handsome suit, is light weight, and, therefore, comfortable for summer use in many parts of the United States. More than this, domestic silk mills are equipped to produce surah silks. Black Velvet Bags Black velvet bags are supplanting the gold mesh purses, long so dear to the heart of every woman. These new bags are of thick velvet and are framed in gold or silver. They are in many shapes, but all are suspended from the arm by heavy silken cords and tassels, very long, so that the bag drops almost to the knees. Some of the new bags are elaborately beaded, but generally the fabric is so fine in quality that it needs no other embellishment than its own elegance. 2 THE GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year.....$1.50 Six Months.....1.00 Three Months.....5.00 Subscribers are requested to mit by postoffice money or der or registered letter.

Two of President Taft's democratic members of his cabinet have added materially to his many troubles in recent weeks. Secretary of the Treasury McVeagh has angered the veterans of the war of the rebellion, and Secretary of War Dickinson has repeatedly done the same thing for our people. What will the harvest be? A glance at the now completed committees of the lower house of Congress indicates the overwhelming influence to be welded in this congress by the southern states. Of the fifty-four standing committees thirty-seven have southern chairmen, counting Missouri as a southern state. Seventeen chairmanships are filled by northerners, but aside from the powerful appropriations committee, most of them are comparatively unimportant. The legislation of the sixty-second congress will be framed by southern representatives. Except for Arkansas, Missouri and Texas, not a chairmanship goes to a state west of the Mississippi. Even Democratic little Oklahoma is ignored. To Texas, geographically the union's biggest state, go seven chairmanships, nearly twice the number obtained by any other delegation. Not a single committee is led by a New Englander. The next Democratic presidential nomination is likely to be dictated by southern delegates. Whither we are drifting under our "half southern-democratic" President? It certainly begins to look as if "they are after" Dr. Booker T. Washington, sure enough. Now, "they" are trying to belittle Mrs. Washington and through her, harm "the wizard of Tuskegee." There can be but one object in view and that is the impairing of his effectiveness as an educational worker. Even the preaching of his "doctrine of surrender" does not seem to appeal in his behalf to the maliciously prejudiced white south and its "doughface" sympathizers in the north. The general prejudiced onslaught along the "color-line" on our people which immediately followed President Taft's inauguration of his unamerican "new southern policy" (exclusion of Negroes from federal office in that section of the country) and which has been sweeping over the country ever since, has apparently included Dr. Washington and his excellent wife, with the benevolent result too apparent in the daily newspaper articles on his recent unfortunate N. Y. City experience, and in the dispatch (attacking Mrs. Washington) from Memphis, Tenn., to the daily newspapers of the country on Tuesday last, republished elsewhere in this paper. From every racial viewpoint this is to be deplored. It is however, making clearer and clearer every day the fact that preaching "doctrines of surrender" will not do; that we must get closer together and fight as one man for all our rights and privileges as American citizens; and that concessions of all kinds, here in the north, are out of order, while in the south good judgment, discretion and the utmost care, in a manly way, however, should be exercised by our leaders and people there. "SILENT EXTERMINATION OF RUSSIAN JEWS." Bad as is the treatment of our people in some sections of the south where at times most atrocious lynchmurders flourish and general mistreatment is so common as to attract little attention there or elsewhere, infinitely worse from every viewpoint is the case of the Jews in Russia. It was but a few years ago that the world was started with accounts of the terrible and wholesale massacre at Kishinef, where from three to five hundred Jews, men, women and children, were killed in houses, in the streets and wherever found. Other, though somewhat smaller massacres followed as well as immediately preceded that of Kishinef. Protests from many countries, including this one, which seemed to forget, at least for the time, its own disgraceful, bloody and lawless "southern problem," seem to have had some little effect upon the Russian government, which, in lieu of massacres, has substituted what is termed the "silent extermination of Russian Jews." Treating at this some length, the Literary Digest (N. Y.) recently published the following of prime interest to our readers: The world has heard little of late of the bloody stories of massacred Russian Jews; but we are not to suppose from this fact that the Russian Government has turned a benign smile upon its Jewish subjects. As a matter of fact, "if the story of recent treatment of these unfortunate people could be told with dramatic detail," says the Outlook (New York), "the whole world would be stirred, and people would open their history of the Middle Ages to find any parallel to the sufferings of human beings." Mr. Herman Rosenthal, a Russian author and editor who once lived in Klet, and served in the Red Cross Society during the Russe-Turkish War, tells in the same number of the Outlook a story of some of these sufferings. It is not a bloody tale of the pogroms such as set the world aghast a few years ago at the drama played in Kishineh and elsewhere. It is, on the other hand, a story of "peaceful extermination," which has "taken the form of a system of merciless repression and degradation." The greatest affliction of the Russian Jews, says Mr. Rosenthal, is the limitation of the right of residence; rigorous herding of the great majority of them in the large cities of Poland and the so-called Pale of Jewish Settlement. "The whole policy of the Russian Government is to withdraw all rights of external residence, and to pack the Jews closer and closer in the great cities of the Pale." The "Pale of Settlement" consists of fifteen provinces, comprising a twenty-third part of the Empire. Russian Poland is not in the Pale, but there also Jews may live. The other thirty-five governments of European Russia, the Caucasus with its eleven governments, Siberia with its nine provinces, and the provinces of Middle Asia, are generally closed to the Jews. Mr. Rosenthal goes on to give some account of the lot of the Jews in the Pale of Settlement: "In this great Ghetto, created by the strong arm of government, 95 per cent. of their number are confined. Here their condition might not be insupportable, if only they had freedom of movement. But the assertion that even a twenty-third part of the Russian Empire is open to Jews is a fiction. In reality only a two-thousandth part of the Empire of 1882 may impose the May Laws of 1882 definitely forbidding to settle in the villages, and since 1887 they have even been forbidden to move from one village to another. Only those who were residents in a village in 1882 may continue to live there, and the number of these is steadily diminishing. A temporary absence from the village is sufficient for a fortuitous and women usually lose it by marriage. "Hundreds of places which in the official directories had figured as townlets suddenly, in the early nineties, were declared to be parishes, and as such not open to Jewish settlement. So enormous was the injustice of this movement, supported by Senatorial decisions, that even Plehve relented so far as to restore to a considerable number of these places their urban standing. But this mitigation was applied ten years after the establishment of the governments of Jews, especially in the governments of Chernigov and Poltava, had sustained irretrievable loss." Last year in Kief thousands were marked for expulsion, and the plan was carried out as follows: "The police inaugurated a series of night raids, invading hotels, the homes of private citizens, surprising clerks in the shops, and expelling mannequins in single shops." In the spring of 1910, acting on orders from St. Petersburg, the local authorities sent orders of expulsion to 1,150 families in Kief and to 238 families in the suburb of Demiyevia." Finally, the Outlook publishes the statement of Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, of New York, that "the method of massacre which a few years ago filled the newspapers with terrible atrocities has been succeeded by a less dramatic but even more tragic method of 'peaceful extermination.'" Continuing: "In many places throughout Russia the commercial boycott has greatly enlarged the miseries of the Jews, and pushed them down into a still deeper poverty. Jewish soldiers who have honorably completed their terms of service in the Russian Army are not permitted to return to the towns from which they were taken. Dr. Wise makes the appalling statement that Jewish girls in some cases have registered in university towns as a order that they be permitted to live in cities where higher educational opportunities were afforded them." "At the same time, the Ministry of Education has greatly lessened the educational facilities open to Jews and certain schools and universities are half deserted by reason of the compulsory absence of Jewish students and the lack of a few Smolensk Jews have been driven in crowds. Insanity has terribly increased among the Jews in the Pale as the result of tyranny and oppression * * * The miserable condition of great numbers of Jews in some cities is indicated by the fact that in many of these cities Jews are registered in the criminal department * * * "Every advantage ought to be taken to put on record the protest of Americans against this intolerable tyranny." Yes, and the Russian government ought "to put on record" its "protest against the intolerable tyranny" that exists throughout the southern part of this country. It is but little less barbarous than that of Russia. Both protests could do no harm and might do both the Jew in Russia and the southern Afro-American "a world of good." By all means, let us encourage both protests. MILLHOLLAND PROTESTS! New York City, April 16, 1911. Senator LaFollette. U. S. Senate, Washington, D. C. Why don't you Progressives stand up against this outrageous treatment of the brave Colored soldiers? A government that will not defend its defenders should be wiped off the map. That Brownsville episode earned us the contempt of an advancing civilization. It remains a blot on the Rebuttal's curved nose. The Block Battalion he reinstated. The proposed continuance of this shameful, inhuman policy will do more to accuminate race prejudice and international bitterness, from which the nations are slowly emerging, than all the Peace Treaties can eradicate though you folks peg away at them till the comes come home. John E. Milhooland, Hotel Manhattan. Lincoln Dates Coincide.

Great secrecy was maintained, and Washington left the trah here only long before the charges got taxicab service also failed, each white chauffeur refusing to carry her.

This time it is no less a person than President Taft's Secretary of War, Jacob M. Dickinson. Mr. Dickinson is a Southern Democrat, but has somehow found his way into the cabinet of a Republican President and has brought with him all the necessary skills to race question. As a private citizen he could have advocated Negro segregation with perfect propriety, but as Secretary of War in a Republican administration, he might well have suppressed the expression of his personal feelings, especially in the absence of any necessity for such an action, and on the absolute absurdity of Mr. Dickinson's idea. Negroes were defending the Stars and Stripes before he was born and will be here long after he is forgotten. What we would impress upon the Republican party, however, is the sentiment that such expressions arose in the Negroes of the high school in high official life. These are times when it is in bad taste for a public official to air his personal opinions. As a cabinet officer, close to the President, Mr. Dickinson owes a duty to the administration, and that duty is certainly not to arouse the resentment of the most loyal supporters of the Republican party. In this case he did dislike the administration.

Russia Should Know This, Too! In the leasing of convicts to mong-making contractors for extra harassed work the state may in effect impose a death penalty for minor offenses, or at least for offenses that no civilized country now punishes with death. This was the case when Alabama permitted a contractor to send more than a hundred convicts against their will into peril that resulted in the killing of a man in the killing of a man.

SATURDAY. APRIL 22. 1911 "WHITE NEGROES" In New Orleans and Elsewhere in Louisiana, in Deep Trouble These Days. Defends The Negro of The North. Springfield, Ill.—Judge M. A. Kavanagh of Chicago, speaking here recently, among other things, said: "As against the charge of inferiority of the Negro race I have this striking testimony to give. It has been my good fortune to preside in the Criminal court of Cook county since last September. During that time I have sentenced many Negroes, as I have persons representing other races and nationalities, for crimes involving deep moral turpitude. But it is remarkable that I have not sentenced for felony during all these months a Negro who was born and reared in the north. There may be an element of chance in this, but it is not all chance that national Negroes came from the conditions which surround the Negroes in the south and that the Negro in the north, who has been brought up in favorable circumstances, is as law abiding as are men of many other races." WISE NEGROES THESE! And In the Great Desert of Sahara— Their Treasure Defense—Compressed Food. Sahara, Africa.—Commandant Mowt, commander of the Twenty-first regiment of French colonial infantry, who recently returned from an expedition in the Congo. Like Tschad, wrote the following of some interest to our people particularly: "The oasis of Agram or Fachi, people of Kanowris, with a few Toubours (native Africans), situated about 290 kilometers east of Air and 150 kilometers west of Bilma. Its dimensions are approximately twelve kilometers from north to south by four kilometers from east to west. Beyond a few dates of inferior quality the place produces nothing of value save salt, maize, rice, millet, meat, goods and garments, leather, tools, etc. But these treasures so dearly bought, must be zealously protected from pillage. Within the interior of the village they have built a vast rectangular enclosure flanked by a tower at each corner. This tower is about eight meters long, fifty feet wide, walls are some twelve meters high and four thick at the base. These walls are built with stones brought from the rocky mountains which border the oasis on the east, mixed with blocks of salt, wells and even with blocks of salt, the whole cemented with clay. Loopholes run along the walls and the holes of the towers. In the center of the open courtyard thus inclosed is a well abundant of fresh water. A single long infiltrometer is the enclosure of the cloak. In the cloak is a solid gate made of thick planks and the key is held by a special the tribe. This guard sleeps inside and is responsible for the safety of the property. This arrangement enables the inhabitants to have only a few days' provisions and the most necessary tools and clothing in their own houses. The towers are built into the central Africa, but vegetables are conserved after a method of their own invention. Onions, beans, spinach and other vegetables are dried and then compressed into a sort of hard, dry cake, so solid that neither air nor humidity can penetrate it, thus insuring its keeping. When needed for use these cakes are broken into fragments and soaked in water till the vegetables assume their original form. The fortified enclosure has another entrance, a threatenment, a threatening spoliation or even capture and slavery, the entire populace takes refuge within its walls. The women and children and the aged occupy the court and the gallery, while the abledied men man the walls and towers to repel the invaders, or lie sheltered on the roof of the gallery."

Public Likes Idea and New Hostelry Will Be Largest in World—Contains 1,000 Bedrooms and Has Roof Garden. London.—When Sir Joe Lyons, England's newest knight, opened a big hotel on The Strand about 18 months ago and announced that there would be no tips in the new hostelry, most old Londoners laughed. They predicted that within a year either the servants would be accepting tips in the time honored way or the hotel would be closed. Neither has happened. The hotel has not closed and the no-tipping system has proven such a success that the directors are going to build the biggest hotel in England and probably in the world, where the same system will be practiced. It will contain 1,000 bedrooms, and its total dimensions will be over 40,000 cubic feet. It will have a large roof garden—an innovation in English hotels—fine smoking and billiard rooms, libraries, and, in fact, every modern convenience. What the exterior of the building is to look like has not been quite decided, but from a hint dropped by Mr. Salmon it may be assumed that it will be distinctly impressive in appearance. The site intended for the hotel is the old world neighborhood which lies behind Regent street and Picadilly circus. It is within a few seconds' walk of each, yet a quieter or more easily gettable spot could hardly be imagined. A number of very interesting old buildings will have to be demolished to make room for the hotel, and a whole block of houses will have to come down. In one of the streets which are going, the undertaker who made Nelson's Aboukir coffin had his shop, and a number of other venerable old business places will disappear. The cost of the site has probably been high, as a great many leases must have been bought up. The rates at the new hotel will be six shillings a night ($1.50). I asked about the success of the notipping system. "The system has been a complete success," said one of the directors. "How do the public fall in with the regulations?" I asked. "Do they ever attempt to evade them?" "They do occasionally," he replied. "But it's only occasionally. As a rule, you don't have to be careful." "And you find the servants just as ready to oblige as when they had depend on tips?" Lazy Persons May Take Advantage of Recent Invention. Intended Primarily for Use In Sickness, it Is Available on All Occasions—Bag Is Made Out of Soft Rubber. Chicago. — "Me bawth, Chawles," and one does not need to get out of bed, if one is so lazily inclined or if one is ill or a confirmed invalid. Just take a bath in bed! There has been invented and introduced in Chicago a bed bath in which one may enjoy a plunge in six or eight inches of water while in bed. The tub is made entirely of soft rubber; it is six feet long and large enough proportionately to admit of its use by adults. It is inflatable and collapsible and the administration of a bath to Mr. Lazy Man or to an invalid requires no more time than for an ordinary bath. Deflated, the tub is flat and may be slipped under a person lying on a bed by a single attendant. Inflated, the tub, which is oval, is a sheet of flat rubber the bottom hollow walls of rubber, ten inches high, which do not bulge from the pressure of the water, even if the tub is filled to its capacity. The tub is inflated by means of a pump and a rubber tube connected with the walls, in the same manner in which one would pump up a deflated bicycle tire. The operation of inflating the tub requires about one minute. the water is poured into or conveyed to the tub by means of a hose and the bather is in the enjoyment of his solutions without having left his bed. He is not disturbed even when the bath is terminated. The loosening and lowering of a rubber sleeve, until now attached to the top of the tub, allows the water to flow sal or lakes or sewers are being observed always to the tub at one side of the床. Two cocks at the top of the tub of the tub are unscrewed, the air which has been supporting the walls of the tub pushes out and the tub de- Yukon Territory Man Also Discovers Black Ones Are Not Freaks—High Price for Furs. Washington.—The raising of the black fox, the peit of which is the highest prized fur on the market, is proving a profitable business and has demonstrated the fact that black and silver foxes can be bred in captivity, according to consular reports. Recently Carl W. Faulk of Carcross, Yukon territory, captured a litter of black foxes and puppies and decided to raise them for breeding purposes. His enterprise not only has proved a success financially but has contradicted a general belief that black foxes, like black sheep, are merely freaks. Offers of as high as $1,500 have been made Mr. Faulk for the peit of one of the black males, and he has sold pelts of silver foxes as high as $1,200 each. One man's wickness may easily become all men's curse. MISS LORA DILLMAN WASHINGTON—Congressional circles are awaiting with interest the wedding of Miss Lona Tillman, daughter of Senator Tillman of South Carolina, to Mr. Charles Sumner Moore of Atlantic City. The engagement was announced not long ago and the ceremony will take place some time this month. Miss Tillman is well known and popular both in Washington and in her home state. "Quite," was the answer. The servants themselves seem to consider the system a success from their point of view, for Mr. Salmon said they preferred the regular wages to the uncertain earnings of the waiter who depends on tips. Many people here are of the opinion that such places as their hotel are quickly bringing about the death of the boarding house keeper. It stands to reason that if for a price so low one can get all the high-class hotel comforts not many are going to remain in the boarding house. flates. This done the bather is dried, the tub slipped from beneath him and the bath is over. This bed bath is the invention of a southern physician who designed it primarily for use in homes and hostitals in the treatment of typhoid fever or other diseases where the full or plunge bath is indicated. In administering the full bath in typhoid fever cases—known to physicians as the Brand treatment, and named in honor of the man, now dead, who first prescribed it—doctors dislike to remove their patients from the bed to a movable or stationary bathtub, fearing that the lifting and carrying necessary under the circumstances will induce hemorrhage. This is why that the rubber bed bath, which does away with this difficulty, will be hailed as one of the greatest medical inventions of the age. According to medical statistics, the death rate from typhoid fever, which has increased in the United States to an alarming extent in the last few years, has been reduced from 50 to 100 per cent. when the Brand treatment was used, the only objection to the Brand treatment being the necessity of lifting the patient from his bed and back to it. Now that can be dispensed with—and the lazy man also may have his inning. Photograph One's Thought's Worcester, Mass.-Dr. Max Baff of Clark college, discussing the discovery credited to Japanese scientists enabling human thoughts to be photographed, said: "As a method of taking thought photographs, a capital way would be to expose the film in a vacuum tank, and have the subjects, whose thought are to be photographed, placed near the tank, even with their heads against it. Developing the film roll, after it had been unwound in darkness, with a pair of subjects thinking on a given subject while is being unrolled, might show some extremely interesting results. "It is a matter for close investigation and demands a long series of carefully conducted experiments." Manager of Chicago Underwriters' Association Says the Public Is Criminally Careless. Chicago—Losses by fire in Chicago last year reached the total of $7,500, 000, according to H. H. Gilden, manager of the Chicago Underwriters' association. The statement was made at a meeting yesterday afternoon of the Chicago real estate board. "The average annual waste by fire in Chicago for the last five years has been at the rate of $3.24 for each human being in the city." Mr. Gilden said. "Compare this with an average of 61 cents loss per capita each year in European cities. "In the last five years the city has seen vanish in smoke the vast sum of $36,297,000. This with a whole lake from which to draw our water supply and an abundance of other natural facilities advantageously arranged.

"Drive" In Oregon Disposes of 10,000 Little Pests Within Few Weeks— Clubs Are Used. Portland, Ore.—Killing rabbits by wholesale is a favorite winter sport in the Lakeview country in southeastern Oregon. No fewer than 10,000 rabbits have been killed off in this way, it is estimated, within the past few weeks. Hundreds of men and boys engage in the rabbit drive. They form a line extending across the prairie several miles, while bunnies are driven in one general direction until they find themselves between two lines of hunters, and the only escape is into a pen, where they are killed with clubs. No firearms are used in the hunt. It were not for the shooters that exterminating the rabbits, they would destroy the crops of the farmer in that district. Coyotes kill large numbers of rabbits and between the two enemies the pests are kept down to comparatively small number. A recently announced project was to establish a rabbit cannery near Lakeview and put the meat of the slaughtered hares up in tins for sale chiefly in foreign countries, where rabbits are highly prized for food. There is now a tremendous waste of the meat, only a few of the killed rabbits finding their way into the Portland markets and practically all the remainder are not used at all. Every winter when the farmers have plenty of leisure time to kill the rabbits, they are slaughtered in very large numbers, and it appears that the meat and skins could be put to profitable use. The supply seems inexhaustible. PARALYSIS REMEDY IS NEAR Dr. Simon Flexner Announces Cure for Infantile Disease Will Soon Prove to Be Success. New York.—The Rockefeller institute in this city believes that its search for a cure for infantile paralysis is about to be rewarded. Within six months, according to Dr. Simon Flexner, definite announcement of a specific remedy may be expected. "We have already discovered how to prevent the disease," says Dr. Flexner, in a statement published here the other day, "and the achievement of a cure, I may conservatively say, is not now far distant. We have been working on this problem for a long time and we have learned where the germ resides, how the disease is spread, how the germ enters the body, the main source of infection and the means of combating the disease. "The germ is so excessively minute that the most powerful microscope fails to reveal it, yet there are accurate methods by which its nature and presence have been determined." losses per capita with those of Europe. In thirty European cities last year the average fire loss was only 61 cents per capita, and in six European countries only 33 cents. There is no sane reason why ours should be larger.

UNCLE JOE CANNON RAPS RECIPROCITY FORMER SPEAKER SAYS PROPOSED AGREEMENT IS DANGEROUS TO AMERICAN TRADE. ASSERTS PACT WOULD HURT FARMERS Declares Canada Had Always Been Knocking at Gates of United States for Entry, Without Tax, Into Our Markets Washington, D. C.—Former Speaker Cannon in the house vigorously attacked Canadian reciprocity. Aided by a large map of the United States and Canada he played the role of school master to a crowded floor and filled galleries. Mr. Cannon assailed the proposed agreement as dangerous to American trade, inimical to the best interests of American farmers and certain to result in depreciation of American farm lands. "Not since the war with Spain and all that followed it has there been considered by the house of representatives so important a bill as the one now pending," he declared. "On the action of the house rests the well being and the prosperity of all the people of the United States. Is it proper on slight consideration to vitalize into law an agreement that affects the prosperity of every home in the land?" Mr. Cannon declared that the treaty had been made in secret. The country, the senate and the house had actually nothing to do with the preparation of the agreement with Canada, he said. "No member of this house," declared Mr. Cannon, "had opportunity to know anything about it until the house received notice in the president's message accompanied by the bill itself, that it was expected to pass the measure." Mr. Cannon declared that the influence of the cheaper Canadian lands would be felt as keenly in the south as elsewhere. "What is this bill going to do to us?" he asked. "They say there's no danger to our wheat from a market open to Canada. The president says it will reduce the cost of living without impairing the farmers' markets. The president is a great man; I have great respect for him. I voted for him, and I apprehend I will vote for him again. But I would like to see him demonstrate how it will not impair the farmers' prices and yet will reduce the cost of living." As to reciprocity Mr. Cannon said he would act on his own judgment. "The president's duty is to veto my action, not to dictate it," he declared, and continued: "The practice has grown through many administrations, of the president having 'congress on his hands,' but I propose to walk in the shadow of my own judgment. It is up to us to say whether we shall continue to develop our own country, from east to west, or, without compensation, throw open our markets to all the additional products of a great new country." Canada, Mr. Cannon said, had always been knocking at the gates of the United States for entry, without tax, into American markets.

Later a mob went to Tyler's home, broke into the house and, as Tyler awoke, he saw a dozen revolvers pointed at his head. He was immediately bound hand and foot and taken from the house on the shoulders of two men. One hundred yards from the house he was held down on the ground and horribly mutilated. Tyler begged for mercy, reiterating his innocence of the alleged crime for which he was being punished. When a physician reached him an hour later, Tyler was unconscious and it is believed he will die. The mob dispersed. Blast Injures Thirty-two Chicago.
