TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 39. Child's Plain Hat Girls simple Hat IN UNION HERA ASTRONIA TWENTY-EIGHT Child's F HERE is a very nice idea for a child's plain hat—one that would child's plain hat—that would be exceedingly useful for school or morning wear and would stand a great deal of knocking about. If you are making the girlie a set of little linen or cotton dresses for the coming summer, you could not do better than save the cuttings from them, and let her have a hat to match each dress. The cost of them will be practically nothing, and she will be sure to look nice when her hat and dress "go with" one another. It may be made up in any size, taking measures from a hat that fits. The Materials: Almost any fairly stout fabric is suitable for this hat—silk, satin, velvet, cloth, linen, casement cloth or galatea. You will also need a yard of buckram for each hat—white or black, according to the color of the material—and 1½ yard of ribbon to make the bow which trims the front. If you want to be very economical, you can make the bow from one half yard of flowered muslin, wiring it all round the edge, so that it stands up smartly. The Cutting: Double the material. Cut from a double circle, from 13 to 14 inches across, according to the size of brim you want. Cut out a small triangular-shaped at the back of the brim (see No. 1), bring the cut edges together, seaming them neatly on the wrong side. Now take one of the child's old hats, and measure across the place where the crown and brim join, laying your tape inside the hat, just at the point where the lining is stitched in. Take a pair of compasses, set it up exactly in the center of the cut material, and trace with it: First, one circle according with the measurements of the old hat; second, one circle $1\frac{1}{2}$ inch further towards the edge of the material. Now cut a circle of single material measuring 14 to 16 inches across for the crown, and a double piece 2 inches deep and Wide Variety, and Styles Show Many Changes From Those That Have Been Worn. Cuban heels thinned down a bit from the more substantial heels of a season ago, distinguisth all street footwear of the ultra sort, while heels of early French periods, with unward-turning toes, are the preferred sort for the dress slipper. In contrast to the checked-topped shoes there are to be seen occasional spats of white or castor color worn over black or brown shoes, or over those of antelope-finished calf, which is a more practical walking shoe than the patent-vamp article. In summer ties there are also examples of cloth and leather combinations and those in which suede and polished leather are combined. In dress slippers there are most expensive trifles in lace and in cut-work over pale-toned silks or satins.—Harper's Bazar. One of the New Bags. The newest hand bags are quite small, doubless in contrast to the mammoth ones we have been carrying. The favorite shape is oblong, about 7 inches wide and 5 deep. The special favorites for spring are in colored leather, in shades of mauve, apricot, blue, violet and red. They usually carry on the outer flap three small initials in gold or in a darker shade than the leather. Covering the Pillows When making you new couch pillows if the ticking is well coated with beeswax or paraffin on the wrong side, the feathers will not come through. Coat the fabric by rubbing the wax in with a hot iron. For All-Bound Wear Given a well-fitting tailored suit of fashionable cut and a dressy waist of one of the desirable veiled modes, and one may consider herself well-dressed (and really be so) for a considerable number of quite different occasions. THE GAZETTE shaped as shown in the illustration for the head-band. Cut the brim and head-band again in buckram, making the buckram pieces just a shade smaller than the material ones. Cut out a wedge at the back of the buckram brim, and draw the open edges together by long herring-bone stitches. This will make the brim turn down into mushroom shape. The Making: Lay the two parts of the brim together with their right sides touching. Seam them together at the wrong side. Cut away all the material that is enclosed in the smaller circle. Turn the brim to the right side. Slip into it the buckram, and hold all together by a double row of machine stitching round the edge. Now take a pair of sharp scissors, and split up the inner edge of the brim to the line of the second circle, as shown in the illustration No. 1. Bend back the split pieces, so that they stand up, and the brim turns down over the child's face. Join the double headband over the buckram, so that the stiffening is hidden between folds of material. Pin this upright on the brim, so that its lower edge rests on the line of the second circle, and the split pieces are all inside the band. Sew the band very firmly to the split pieces, so that they hold it upright. Gather the crown round its edge, and draw it up to fit round the head-band at the place where the band joins the brim. Pull the fulness into pretty folds, and then sew down the crown very firmly all round, so that, from the outside, the head-band cannot be seen at all. Fold a piece of ribbon round the hat, to hide the join of the crown and brim, and finish it with a large bow at the front. Line the hat with sarcenet or thin silk. Draw up the lining with a narrow string inside the crown. Sew on a piece of elastic, which passes under the chin and holds that in place. 1 This is for a girl of 14 to 16 years, and may be carried out well in cashmere or very fine cloth; the panel front is prettily shaped both at top of bodice and lower part of skirt; this is laid on over straps of satin; buttons and braid loops form a further finish. The small yoke and collar-band of spotted net. Materials required: Four yards 46 inches wide, 4 dozen buttons, 4½ yards 40 inches wide sateen for lining, 1 yard sateen 21 inches wide.

HE WANTS BROADER EDUCATION FOR THE NEGRO HE WANTS BROADER EDUCATION FOR THE NEGRO MINISTER URGES THE YOUR PEOPLE TO ADJUST THEM SELVES TO THEIR CONDITIONS. Rev. Richard Stinson Says Negroes Do Not Realize Their Limitations. Savannah, Ga. (Special.)—"There are entirely too many of our people who seem not to know what they don't know, and the preacher, teacher and other capable persons among us who can help the masses of this child race to a sensible and practical conception of a good and serviceable life may render our race the greatest of all services." The foregoing statement was the keynote of an interesting address by the Rev. Richard D. Stinson of Atlanta before the Colored Men's Sunday Club at the Masonic Temple. The speaker appealed for a closer and more interested attention to the education of the negroes. He said the school house that offers education that tends toward a good character and love for honest toll and home life is the greatest asset of the race. Among other things Rev. Stinson said: "I am not unmindful of the disadvantages under which many of the good men and women of our race labor, and yet I am not ignorant of the many good things that aid us in making the best of our opportunities, and for these and other reasons I am anxious lest the young negro men and women of a rising generation may not measure up to a full comprehension and sense of their duty. Surely in this day 'Iron sharpeneth iron,' and the young negro who would be self-respecting and successful is duly conscious of these facts. "We live in new times and under new circumstances and we should awake to these conditions. I want to urge the young men and women to adjust themselves to their conditions with which you are surrounded. To make permanent success in the communities where we live we want to see things, often, as our neighbors see them; for there are problems that must be solved in the south by the negro seeing things as his white neighbor sees them. It is next to impossible for the white man to do anything in the south that will prove fruitful to the negro that will not, also, in one way or another prove hurtful to himself. "Much that is thought to be dissatisfaction to the white man and negro of the south is often but misunderstanding. A proof of my statement is that the negroes, in Georgia alone, have beautiful homes, own farms, live stock, some of the most valuable school and church property and pay taxes on a grand total of $28,000,000 worth of property annually. This is a splendid showing for a race that set out but yesterday; and yet this is nothing about which we can afford to boast. Our struggles for the future are far greater than any we have witted in the past. "The leadership of a race like ours, whose school advantages have been so limited, make the whole fabric the more difficult, and yet we are making rapid headway, and when practical education and a decent home life among the masses and a commonsense pupil in every community shall have had a chance, it has not yet appeared what we shall be. "I want to commend with all my heart the managers of this club that may mean so much to the youth of the negro race in Savannah. "In the last few months I have traveled extensively in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama and South Carolina and I know what it means to have a capable, unselfish class of men to direct our people." Jackson's Wife at Dalton. Dalton, Ga.—(Special.)—The wife of Peter Jackson, one of the world's greatest pugilists, paid a visit to Cleveland, Teen, near this city a short time ago. The young woman is a descendant of slaves belonging to the Hardwick family, of Bradley county, and when she appeared at the residence of Mrs. C. L. Hardwick she explained that she just wanted to stop over and see her home town and find out all about her "folks." Jackson's wife had on elegant clothing and wore many trophies won by the bigighter. She was on her way west to join Jackson, he having arrived from Australia. The Latest News Two of the larger newsboys were about to settle their difficulty by the test of physical endurance. No officer being in sight, a ring was quickly formed. Just as hostilities were about to begin a younger dealer in newspapers improved his opportunity by shouting to the gathering passersby: "Latest papers; get the big fight extra." He caught many sales.—Boston Record. Cutting Profits. "Where did you get your fur over coat, doctor?" asked one of his patients. "I got this when Mr. Burrows had appendicitis," the doctor replied. Race Progress As Reported by the National Negro Business League. Firman C. Brown, Charleston, West Virginia, has recently received notice of allowance of patent on his food-warmer and will now introduce an emergency service. Cooked meals can be sent out any distance from one block to two miles, hot and in a sanitary condition at destination. The warmer will take up space of an ordinary grip and can be easily carried in street car without inconvenience to passengers. Mr. Brown, the inventor, has given twenty years as head waiter in the leading hotels north and south and has observed the need of service as above named. Tentative efforts will probably be made to arrange for a "National Negro Business League Special" for the eleventh annual meeting in Little Rock, Ark. August 16-18. The plan is to have the business men from the cities in the east to gather at Baltimore, starting out in special Pullman from that point; they could proceed west to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, then to St. Louis, finally reaching their destination, Little Rock. Delegates from cities nearby could join "the special" at these principal places. The Cleveland Journal makes the above practical suggestion, which is at least worthy of consideration. The Negro Business league of Birmingham, Ala., has a rare opportunity to render valuable and substantial service to the members of the race in that community by urging the practice of frugality, in strengthening the businesses already established and in the encouraging the starting of new ones, where there is a prospect of support and success. This opportunity is present by reason of the fact that over one million ($1,000,000) dollars every month is paid to negro wage earners in the mines, the mills and factories in that district. The greater portion of this vast sum of money is spent with the various merchants of the city. It follows then that, if a fair portion of these people achieve does not go to the negro merchant, the white man cannot be justly held responsible for it. It may not be generally known, but nevertheless k is a fact that a colored man presides at the throttle of an engine that pulls one of the fastest trains on the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh. His name is Wm. G. Burnes of Indianapolis, Ind. He runs between that city and Columbus, O. Mr. Burnes has been in the employ of the company for over thirty-five years. He began as a section hand and was advanced from one grade of service to another as he increased in skill and efficiency until he was promoted to a passenger engineer about twenty years ago. It is said that some of the most successful white engineers of today owe their training to the careful teaching of this man. Moreover, he has the reputation of being quite a student and is well informed on subjects of general interest. Mr. Burnes is a citizen of Indianapolis and he owns considerable property as well as being interested in some good investments.

WHERE ARE OUR GIRLS TO GET HUSBANDS? On hearing a speech made by one of the prominent colored doctors of this city, my mind has been haunted by those facts he uttered, ever since. He spoke on the scarcity of Negro husbands for Negro girls, and brought out some interesting and acute facts that should be given due and just consideration by every Negro boy and girl. The doctor exemplified the refined wife with the unpollished husband, the lack of interest taken by young men in social affairs, where the intermingling of the two sexes were required. Also, he spoke of the girl who is classed high, that associates with the young man who has been ostracised from society circles for some immoral act, then being an associate of our best girls. The doctor made some timely remarks. The girl, on a whole, is being educated and trained for the various essentials of life, while the boy with the same chances, is neglecting his. In the many colleges and public schools of the United States for Negroes, the girl outnumber the boy almost 3 to 1. The boy of today varies greatly from those of yesterday. He is no longer the chaste and almost undefiled being of the past, but his senses have turned (just a few good ones) to rowdiness, bad associates, unclean habits, that are shortening his life, ruining him morally, mentally and physically. What sort of a husband would one of these inert, insignificant beings make for a husband for one of our best girls? This grave question stares everyone in the face. Today we see boys who should be in school, lounging around saloons, pool halls, roving the slums and attaching themselves to the very worst habits. What sort of husbands will they be? There should be as much interest taken in the boy as there is in the girl, for in their union the outcome may be regretted. We should use every effort in persuading the young man to toe the mark, socially with the girl, for social intermingling will be one of the primary factors in aiding the young man to realize the required qualities to enter upon marriage life. It does not take the seer to see the outcome of this murky social condition that is now existing. We must spring a remedy or the worst will remain at hand.—Palestine (Tex.) Plain-dealer. THE JAMAICA NEGRO It is noteworthy that the colored people who comes to the United States from Jamaica, almost without exception, are very intelligent, so far as the book goes. It is well known that in the Island of Jamaica the negroes are provided with first-class schools, that they suffer under little or no racial discrimination. Since they have good school facilities, equal civil and political rights with the white man, why is it that they leave a country where they enjoy the same opportunity to get an education that the white man enjoys, and the same opportunity to use all the conveniences of travel, hotel accommodations, etc., without discrimination? Under these circumstances, we ask why do the negroes every year come to the United States in so large numbers from Jamaica, and why is it that those who do come to America fail to return except in rare cases? The answer, in our opinion, is easy: Along with education, civil and political rights there must go economic and industrial development such as the negro in Jamaica is not surrounded by. The negro in the United States labors under disadvantages, but the advantage that he enjoys in the way of economia opportunity and in the way of industrial and technical education overbalances his disadvantages to such a degree that the negroes leave a country where they enjoy all the other privileges that some of our people talk a good deal about in this country and come to a country where the negro has the highest opportunity to economic development and up-to-date education, including industrial and technical training. The West Indian negro, who talks very loudly and is easily excited, has found his heaven on earth under the American flag.—New York Age. Cannibals Aid Hunt for Specimens. New York—(Special.) — Herbert Lang, head of the American Museum of Natural History's Congo expedition in search of mammal and invertebrate specimens, has sent President Henry Fairfield Osborn of the museum a complete record of the expedition down to a few months ago, including the successful hunt of the rare okapi, which is to be one of the museum's most valuable exhibits as soon as the skin and accessories are received here from Africa. Mr. Lang writes that he has been and is employing nearly 3,500 natives, many of them cannibals. Colored Pythians Restrained Montgomery, Ala. (Special.)—Negro Pythians of Alabama, numbering about 15,000 or 20,000, must discontinue the use of the Pythian name, emblems, banners and rituals, according to a decree from the Chancery Court of Montgomery, upholding a bill filed last May by the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Alabama (white) against the Knights of Pythias of Europe, Asia, Afrlea and North and south America (Negro). AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY SINGLE COB AFRO-AMERICA Let us do something. We imagine we hear the cry coming up from those who are feeble and weak kneed, saying that we can do nothing. But let us urge you to bestir yourself and wake up and go to weaving for good. Our reason for saying weaving for good is simply this: the weaving is going on any how, either for weal or woe—hence let us weave for good. We have gone through woods and beaten the bushes, and our humble effort at writing an editorial may not meet the approval of all of our readers, but we must just strike or say something that we know to be of interest to our people anywhere the opportunity presents itself. What about your weaving? Let us urge our women to weave better lives. Let us help them to see and understand their condition. And as another has said: "Let the savage Indians torture captives to death by the slow flaming fagot, but let civilized men respect the tenderness and love of confiding women. Torturing the opposite sex is double-distilled barbarity. Woman's love is her all. Hence let us advise the woman not to recklessly throw away their only armor of defense. Let us strive to select the very best material for the web and woof of our lives. There is a work for each one of us to do. There are burdens that we can lift from the shoulders of others. If we would weave properly and to the advantage of others—or of our fellow man—we would select the proper material out of which to form the web and woof of our lives. The negro must weave, if he does not he will be wove into nothing. Calamities of different kinds have been visiting our communities, but our blessed Master has allowed us to go ahead and weave on. What about our work? What about our weaving? Is the web and woof strong? Are the threads constantly breaking? Each thread in the web and woof of our lives must be looked after very carefully. We are told, and very truthfully, too, that a chain is not any stronger than the weakest link in it. The same holds true with us as people or raze. The weakest among us has strength enough to keep the strongest among us down. Yes, the very weakest can get the very strongest down. The very weakest among us can manage to keep the very strongest down after succeeding in getting them down. Hence, we can very readily see the necessity of looking after every thread in the web and woof of our lives. When a thread breaks it consumes a whole lot of time. It must be found and tied. If it is not looked after it will cause a flaw in the cloth and thereby depreciate the value of the same. We, as a race, will not stop long enough to catch up the broken threads and tie them. I am strong and all right, consequently I don't care anything about that weak thread. Let it break, I have no time to stop and look for the ends. I care nothing about them. They cannot even impede my progress, saying nothing about hindering me. What a terrible mistake! Let us beg you to open your eyes and catch up the broken threads in the great web and woof of life. May the God of all the living aid us and give us courage to go forward and urge men and women everywhere to select the very best material out of which to construct the web and woof of their lives. Wake up the indolent. Wake up the careless, and let them see to it that the web and woof of their lives are woven out of the very best material obtainable. With the above end in view let each one of us continue to strive and God will bless all of our efforts. The Chicago Journal says: "Colored people of Atlanta were called upon, a short time ago, to raise $40,000 toward a fund for the building of a home for their Young Men's Christian association. In ten days they secured $87,000. And an Atlanta paper says, 'They are still subscribing.'" "At the same time a movement was on foot to raise funds for the white association. While the amount required was much larger than for the plans of the negroes, the paper quoted says: 'The ratio between the white and negro subscribers in proportion to population, is about three to one, with the predominance in favor of the negroes.' Commenting on the situation, the Atlanta paper says: "Is it not well for Atlanta, for Georgia, for the south, to analyze the lesson of the achievement of the negroes in the Young Men's Christian association campaign? It shows that it pays to help make decent, law-abiding citizens of the negro, instead of taking it for granted that the whites must be taxed to treat them as criminals.' "In such experiences and such comments are seen better prospects for the colored race of the whole south." It was discovered through the accidental killing of one of its members that a prominent family of New Orleans had a remote strain of African blood and that therefore under the law they were "colored," with all the pains and penalties the Louisiana --- IN UNION THE A STANDING PY FIVE CENTS. AN CULLINGS code inflicts. A daughter had been happily married, but her husband was compelled to repudiate her, because under the law she was merely his concubine, not his wife. A son was forced to leave a white school, and he cannot enter any other in the state except one of those for negroes. Neither they nor their friends had ever known until the accidental disclosure that there was any negro blood in their veins. The negroes in the country, chiefly at the south, have increased from four to ten millions. Of this number 40,000 own their homes and 750,000 are farmers, owning 23,000 square miles of land. In the whole country they are assessed as owning $500,000,000 worth of property. Some towns in the south are inhabited solely by negroes. They have 45 banks in the United States, and in the south there are 30,000 negro teachers with an enrollment of 2,000,000 school children. Every negro in this country is proud of the above showing and the better element of negroes has decided to become an important factor in the development of this southland. Oscar W. Sturkey, six feet nine inches high and known as the Florida Hercules, is now in training at Jacksonville in the hope of defeating Jack Johnson.

Oscar has been for the greater part of his life a hard worker out of doors, which is said to account for his physical perfection.—Washington Herald. There never was a wiser saying than that an idle brain is the devil's workshop. There are entirely too many idle black boys in almost every community.

Good! We do not believe the statement telegraphed to the daily papers last week, from Dallas, Tex., that Booker T. Washington and Afro-American financiers of the north are planning to buy the International & Great Northern Railroad at the receivership sale to be held in Palestine, Tex., May 15. The dispatch announced, also, that Dr. Washington would attempt to operate the road with Afro-American labor exclusively if he gets control. This newspaper story does not "sound" right to us. Richmond, Va., has a segregation law at last—passed last week—which prohibits any Colored family from moving into a block the majority of the residents of which are white, and any white family from moving into a block the majority of the residents of which are Colored. Our people of that city have announced their intention to test its validity in the courts and we certainly hope it will be knocked out as promptly as was Baltimore's first segregation law. The Baltimore City Council has been very busy ever since and has finally passed another ordinance which it hopes will stand the test of the courts. Our people of that city now have another fight on their hands. We sincerely hope that they will win this one, too. "SILENT EXTERMINATION OF RUSSIAN JEWS." Bad as is the treatment of our people in some sections of the south where at times most atrocious lynch-murders flourish and general mis-treatment 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 a few years ago that the world was startled 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 this at 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 Kief, and served in the Red Cross Society during the Russo-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 clos- er 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 third part of the Empire is free to them. For the May Wars was of 1882 definitely forbade the Jews 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 greater than the number of emigrants absence from a village is intended to forfeit the privilege, and women usually lose it by marriage. "Hundreds of places which in the official directories had figured as townnies suddenly, in the early ninies, 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 catastrophe, after thousands of people, and after the governments of Chemnigov and Poltava, had sustained irrretrievable 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, surpacingople in the city, expelling many singly and in groups. 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 Demiyeva." 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 as victims of the perpetrators, in order that they might 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 Jews in illiterate Kief and Smolenak 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 most of these cities a holiday week. In another, all the resident 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. THE CAPITAL'S SCHOOL FIGHT. A New National Organization Takes Up the Race's Fight Against Separate Schools in the Capital of Ohio. Columbus, O.—The National League of American Freemen, camp No. 1, of this city, held a splendid open meeting in Odd Fellows' hall, last week Wednesday evening, for the purpose of getting before the public our side of the school fight in this city, and to make an appeal to all well-wishers of our cause to subscribe in a monetary way such support as they could Hon. C. L. Maxwell. reasonably afford, to help carry the case, now pending in the courts, against the Champion Ave. (separate) school, to the U. S. Circuit Court for a favorable decision. The laws of Ohio do not permit the establishing of separate schools for any class of citizens and our people's self and race respect rebel at the illegal Champion Ave. school for our children only. All of our teachers, too were taken from the mixed schools of the city and huddled together in the school thus making parliaments of both our children and teachers SHAME! If this a short time until all of our other children, outside of the Champion Ave. school district, including those in the High Schools of the city, will also be so segregated, humiliated and in- sulted. No other class of children and people are so shamefully mistreated. IT IS WORSE THAN AN OUTRAGE. FRESH OHIO NEWS Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, was the chief speaker of the evening and that was sufficient to guarantee a large attendance in spite of the most inclement weather, all day and throughout the night. Dr. Ernest F. Cox presided as chairman, and the meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. C. D. White, pastor of Mt. Vernon Ave. A. M. E. church. Rev. E. L. Gilliam, the first speaker, explained the object and purposes of the camp in a clear and concise manner, and urged strongly the organization of Ohio particularly people throughout Ohio particularly of the great need of such at this time—when the "color-line hysteria" seems to be insulting our people everywhere and sweeping away their citizen rights and privileges throughout the North, and the South too, as never before in the history of the country. Mrs. Hattie Hall King, our first teacher in the mixed schools of this city, a splendid woman, made an appeal that was a grand one indeed, and gave some exceptionally good advice. She enumerated many of the overcrowded public schools and showed conclusively that they were to be preferred even at the expense of Colored teachers where it is impossible to have both. Hon. C. L. Maxwell of Xenia, consuls to San Domingo, island of Halti, in a short speech expressed himself as being in hearty sympathy with the objects of the new organization, and wished both the greatest success. Charles R. Doll, Esq., formerly of Chillicothe, a coming local "legal light," delivered a strong address covering the statutory enactments of the State Assembly, from 1848 to date, providing for the education of our youth. His address reached its climax when he referred to our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Ponker who was Governor when the state legislature wiped from the Ohio Statutes by the Arnett bill. The large audience plauped him generously indeed and he deserved it, too. Dr. L. W. Cox made an appeal on behalf of the camp for money by subscription and it was surprisingly well given by those present. The organization feels greatly indebted to all the speakers, but especially so to Editor Smith whose sacrifice of time and money to come here and help us at this time, but again shows that he is truly a race man, and that when he comes to our people he is as ready as ever to help them for our rights and privileges. A unanimous vote of thanks was extended Mr. Smith; also best wishes, and the support of the organization assured him in any of his undertakings for the good of the race. The meeting has already resulted in the camp's healthy growth in membership and money. A reception was held at its conclusion when all present took advantage of the opportunity to grasp the hand of the editor of The Gazette. In addition to the speakers and chairman, Rev. A. D. Chandler, pastor of the Second Baptist church, and Dr. J. A. Robbins were also seated upon the stage. Among those in the audience were Dr. J. A. Stuart, pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church, formerly Cleveland, accompanying Mrs. Hattie Humble of that city who is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Collins. (Dr.) E. F. COX. DR. J. M.

Editor Gazette, Dear Friend:—In keeping with the expressed wish of my district conference and many friends in other conferences, I take this opportunity to announce myself as a candidate secretary of the Church Extension department, Ohio deserves a General Office and I feel assured that now is the time, the General Conference will concede the justice of the same. I was urged long ago to declare myself a candidate but preferred to wait for an expression from my brethren. Now that I have their sanction, I will do all in my power to bring the honor of a General Office to the North Ohio Conference. Respectfully, (Rev.) J. M. Gilmere. Few Suicides in Ireland.

Their Paneacea for Our Troubles in the South—What Dr. Dr. Byd, One of Our Editors, Thinks of It. President Taft and Ex-President Roosevelt in speaking to the Negroes of Atlanta advocated primary and industrial education as the panacea for Negroes and their troubles in the South. These gentlemen are making some progress in their views about Negro education but as yet the true standard has not been reached. These men were in the South and of course had to pander to Southern whims. We feel disappointing Negroes not telling both of these gentlemen that the race asked for the same kind of education that all races are receiving in this country. Primary and Industrial education will not solve the Negro problem but will make it more embarrassing. The more Negroes are prepared to enter the trades profes- sion and do their part the more they are hated. The more education the Negro gets in the South the more is he an object of segregation and abuse. These gentlemen convict themselves of caste and prejudice when they would qualify the education of any portion of American citizens. The more they would be the right to all that any kind of education will give him. He should be educated in art, literature, philosophy, politics, economics, history, government and international law, medicine, theology, science and in fact everything. There need be no fear about too many entering the higher professions for they not for among all races the masses of the elite the ones of high education are very few compared with the others, but the white man would object strenuously to any man or set of men saying white people should have only primary and industrial education. Don't qualify it gentlemen. Give Negroes the opportunity to choose what they want. It is absolutely foolish to force a boy to miss school or the college training when he does not want it or is not adapted to it, but let him take that which he is adapted for and he will succeed. We are tired of being proscribed in our activities and requirements. It is amusing to us to hear presidents and other men philosophing about the kind of education that we want, and the extent of the whites in the South are densely ignorant and don't want an education. It appears to us that there is an attempt to keep the Negroes on par with this mass of uneducated and unaspiring whites and by so doing there will be less friction. This is an idle dream. The higher a Negro is educated the better he is and the better citizen he is. A cultured and refined colored man is the peer of any other man—Rochester (N. Y.) Sentuel. COLOR-LINE HYSTERIA Lynching, Jim-Crew" Cars and Disfranchisement, The Four Great Issues—Our Problems! (From The Bellefontaine, O., Daily Examiner, April 25, 1911) EXAMINER, April 21 Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, who had been asked to address the people of Bellefontaine on the subject of "Race Issues and Successful Negroes," addressed a large audience at Grace A. M. E. church Monday night. Among other things, he said: "There are four issues confronting the American people that concern the Negro, and about which every good citizen should be informed, and these are lynching, dis W. H. franchisement, "Jim-Crow" cars, and color line hysteria, Lynching," said Mr. Smith, "has gone on in this country, beginning immediately following the close of the war, until today in the North (outside of Ohio) as well as in the South, practically nothing whatever is thought or done when a Negro is lynched. The Government of the United States defends us against mob violence. Recent statistics show that of all the lynchings of black men in the South, that four-fifths of them were not charged with the one crime for which the American people claim that Negroes are accused of being guilty, assault upon white women, and that others, many of them, were not even accused of any crime at all. We have, where ant-lynching laws exist, and pile up damages against mob violence communities, until the people come to their senses. Just now more than 1,000,000 Negroes in the South are disfranchised, and have no more chance to vote than so many cattle. The U. S. Constitution is flagrantly and openly violated when it comes to the rights of the Negro, and we have a few pretended leaders who are good enough to vote against "the doctrine of surrender," and many white men, North and South, wish to dub such individuals our leaders. Negroes of Ohio might as well open their eyes. There is a studied attempt to as thoroughly disfranchise you as have the whites of the South disfranchise the Negroes in that section. If the House resolution now pending in the U. S. Senate to elect U. S. Senators by direct vote, ever becomes a hindrance to the twelfth of the States, and thus becomes an amendment to the U. S. Constitution, the Negro of the North might as well say to his ballot, "good-bye." There are those who are asking for separate schools, and some white people pat THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY. APRIL 29. 1911 them on the back and say "That's right." When you give "Jim-Crow" schools they will give you "Jim-Crow" of various kinds until you will eventually have "Jim-Crow cars in Ohio. One of the most distressing faults is: if a Negro who has studied race conditions outlines a policy for race uplift, and tells you what is right, corner and listen to a white man who does not understand our condition or affairs as well as you do, and still you will turn down the opinion of the best men of your race for opinions of an ordinary white man who knows nothing about our progress, or who are leaders of the race. Until you get to the place where you remember nothing about your progress, or who are leaders of the race, you may expect to be "Jim-Crowed." The color-line hysteria is sweeping over this country at a rapid pace. The nation has succeeded in getting a man in the White House who has made up his mind to keep the Negro back. Mr. Taft is a great, big mush of concession, and he does not apply to the present national administration for any material assistance in securing his rights. If Mr. Taft is renominated for the Presidency we will have a Democratic President and so far as the Negro is concerned as between Mr. Taft and a Democrat, it is like being between the devil and the deep blue sea. The Negro gone on until they will refuse to serve Negroes in hotels, restaurants and other public places that heretofore accommodated us. The Civil Rights law is on Ohio's statute books, and any Negro who will go into the courts with at least one good witness cannot fail to get judgment if, when necessary, he will appeal to the higher courts that damages will be recovered. No place in Ohio, under the law, can refuse to serve any man on account of his color or race." Mr. Smith told of the many successful Negroes in the country and abroad, and of the great intellectual leaders throughout the land. He talked for two hours and not a person left the room during his lecture. The applause was frequent and very warm. Referring to the Booker T. Washington incident and the policy of Mr. Washington in his address, said: "It is a question about it. Mr. Washington preaches the doctrine of submission and surrender, and his talk has had most to do with the increase in this color line hysteria of today, and as long as Mr. Washington pleads with Negroes to submit to all kinds of humiliation, white men who are in line with this hysteria will tell you that Mr. Washington is your leader. Regarding the recent New York incident I have but to say: Unless Mr. Washington prosecutes Ursich the public will have cause to believe what he said, so much of the matter is, such conflicting stories were told by Mr. Washington that no one knows what to believe." A reception was tendered Mr. Smith at the close of his lecture and he left Bellefontaine for Cleveland, Tuesday morning. While in the city he was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. J. G. Robinson. SUCCESSFUL DISTRICT CONFERENCE. Dr. J. M. Gilmere, Presiding Elder, Indored for General Office. Dayton, O.—The Western District Conference of the North Ohio, in session at Euclid Ave. A. M. E. Church, April 19-21, dealt faithfully andearlessly with the great moral and reform questions that came before it. It stood for the total suppression of the deadly liquor traffic, affirming that the license policy in wrong in principle. There was a slight ripple of debate when Dr. J. S. Jackson of Springfield, read his paper on "Is the divine call of the ministry essential?" Reports from the ministry conferences showed that the district is in a prosperous condition along all lines. Some of the distinguished visitors present were: Prof. C. H. Johnson and Dr. Horace Torbent of Wilberforce; Dr. J. S. Jones D. D. of Kansas City, Mo, and Hon. Harry C. Smith, Ohio's favored son, editor of The Gazette, who entranced the large audience that turned out to hear him, by his eloquence. His name is on the lips of many bottonians this week. Too often bottonians dismiss his logic and eloquence. The district pledged its support to Dr. Gilmore for delegate to the General Conference, and also endorsed him as the next church extension secretary. Dr. Gilmore's for- Dr. J. M.

The resolutions also endorsed The Gazette in its communications, committing it strongly to our people of Ohio and especially calling upon the members of the conference to promote its interests to their fullest capacity in their respective communities. Dr. Glilme and the editor of The Gazette were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stewart of Homestead Ave., while in the city last week.

Rabbi Max Heller of New Orleans delivered a masterly address last month to a colored audience in that city on "Manliness versus Prejudice," and which address was published in full in the Southwestern Advocate. Below we give some extracts from that address and, like the editor of the Advocate, we wish it could be read by every Negro in this country: complaints the world advance against it and must go to work earnestly to remedy them. I say the race, rather than the individual, advisedly, for the very injustice which lumps the individuals in the mass and condemns each of them unheard for what is supposed to be the general foble, that very injustice must arouse a sense of solidarity by which each individual "Work is the first law of social ethics, the cornerstone of manliness; justice, even against ourselves, ranks, perhaps, next in importance. The true man, under attack, must first set his house in order. The retort of conscious guilt is: you are another; the first thought of sincerity is to be in the right, rather than to have the best of the argument. I have yet to see any prevailing prejudice, be it ever so unjust, that has not some foundation; we may convict it of gross exaggeration, of patent one-ideasness, but we owe it to ourselves, to the strength of our cause, to examine ourselves, to know exactly how far we are giving cause, supplying fuel to prejudice. No race, of course, can be free from folibies, but just as the individual must ever strive to rid himself of those weaknesses and those vices which stand in the way of his usefulness to society, so must the race become aware of whatever just Sad Outlook. Mistress—I'm sorry you are going to leave, Marie. Are you going to better yourself? Marie - No. ma'am. I'm going to get married--Chicago Newa. complaints the world advance against it and must go to work earnestly to remedy them. I say the race, rather than the individual, advisely, for the very injustice which lumps the individuals in the mass and condemns each of them unheard for what is supposed to be the general foble, that very injustice must arouse a sense of solidarity by which each individual accepts responsibility for all the others. But that sense of common interest must not be turned to the protection of the wrongdoer, to a conspiracy of screening and hiding the miscreant; quite to the contrary, it should give rise to a determination, sternly and consistently, to remove the evil out of one's midst. Injustice always recolls upon its perpetrator and harms him more than it does his victim; the habit of injustice is far more demoralizing and degrading than the suffering from injustice, yet it must be admitted that in minds of the lower order there is always a danger that tyranny will breed cunning and prejudice only tend to confirm and make stubborn the very things that may have called it forth. "There is an opposite danger that lurks in prejudice and threatens the self-respect of a race, and that is the mistake of capitulating utterly to the attack, of accepting the enemy's condemnation with all its injustice, and all its exaggerations. Just as in the relationship between individuals there is the man that will not accept a particle of reproof under any circumstances, the stiff-necked temperament that can never find itself in the wrong, while there is, one the other hand, the opposite disposition that pleads guilty to everything and lands in the despair of self-contempt, so it is in the life of a people, a race. "Under the lash of prejudice the man must fight for his self-respect; injustice to your own, underestimation of those to whom you belong, may spring from the over-stranded effort to be just against yourself; often, however, it is a symptom of wounded vanity of the helpless selfishness that rebels against the conditions amid which it was reared, of the disloyal vulgarity that despiles its cradle. A race must degenerate and perish, once it loses its belief in itself. In the education of every race room must be made for teaching its noble traditions, for fostering its historic pride; the Negro child ought to know all that the Negro has done for this country; the part that Crispus Attucks played as a leader in the Boston massacre; how invaluable Negro labor has been to the development of the south; how faithful the slave was to his master, even in such perplexing days as those in the Civil war; how much of progress, along all lines, the race has made in the few years since its deliverance; what honored names it had contributed to our civilization. The Negro child ought to be taught to cherish every fine instinct that nature has implanted into the race, its genuine warm religiousness, its love of music; every member of the race ought to be made to feel, from earliest childhood, as against every misrepresentation of caricature and gossip, that there is something in the Negro type that is worth preserving that will repay unfolding. You have a right, and a duty, to confront the injustice of prejudice with the legitimate prepossessions of a strengthened loyalty. "Lastly, there is a highest manliness under prejudice; that exalted manhood which rises under its burdens to an ever higher stature. Instead of being crushed under the weight of injustice it learns the loftest lessons of fairness and humanity out of its own impressive experience." Sleep and Let Sleep. It was in the small hours of a muggy morning. From a seat near the Mudham docks where he had spent the night, Pat watched the Merely Mary Ann as she loomed out of the fog. "Want a job?" asked the foreman, suddenly appearing. "Shure, it's only six o'clock," complained Pat. "Never mind that," retorted the foreman. "We want a man to help us unload that ship." "What's the cargo?" asked Pat. "Sleepers," said the foreman, shortly. "Sleepers, bedad!" exclaimed Pat, with his fingers to his lips. "Shure, didn't Ol tell yer it was too soon to start work? We mustn't be wakin' em un so early in the morning!" Boy Was No "Pig." He was buying cigars for the bunch in a cafe and was explaining that it was triplets. Every one had been satisfied and the momentous event was being discussed. Congratulations mixed with condolences were tendered the happy father when he bethought himself of an attendant circumstance and told it and then he bought again. It was this: The small boy of the house had been praying for a little sister. When told that not one, but three, had arrived, he knelt and said: "Oh, Lord, I'm very thankful, but I'm no plig.

SUMMARY OF A WEEK'S EVENTS Latest News of Interest Boiled Down for the Busy Man. Washington Former United States Senator Albert Jeremiah Beveridge of Indiana, to be United States ambassador to Germany, is the latest slate to be posted by authority, apparently direct from the White House. Although the corporation tax for this year is not due before June 1, payments are beginning to reach the treasury at Washington. About $235,000 was paid during March. The estimated total receipts from that source for the year are $25,000,000. By a vote of 265 to 89 the Canadian reciprocity agreement was passed by the house of representatives. No amendments were allowed to the bill, which was very similar to the one passed last session, except that it carried an added section which "authorizes and requests" President Taft to obtain further reciprocal trade relations with Canada. Ten of the opposing votes were cast by the Democrats and the other 79 by Republicans. Formal demands made by insurgent Republican senators that they be recognized as an organization distinct from the Republican majority in the United States senate and that they be given one-fourth of all the majority memberships of the committee and control of these assignments were rejected by a vote of 7 to 4 at a meeting of the senate committee on committees. --- Representative Berger, Socialist, of Wisconsin, wants congress to have power to call a constitutional convention.

Domestic Walter Drew, counsel for the Directors' association; W. J. Ford, assistant district attorney of Los Angeles, and Frank Fox, chauffeur, were arrested at Indianapolis on affidavits charging them with having kidnapped J. J.

Va., by an explosion that wrecked the mine. There is not believed to be one chance in a thousand that any one of the men is still alive. As tons of debris are blocking the way, it is not expected that the victims will be reached for several days.

True Bills Are Returned Against Lake Shore, Pennsylvania, Nickel Plate and Bessemer & Lake Erie. Cleveland, O.—Conspiracy on the part of the largest railroads in the country with ore shippers and dock companies in granting rebates is charged in 13 indictments handed down by the federal grand jury here. The roads indicted are the Lake Shore, Pennsylvania, Bessomer & Lake Erie and Nickel Plate. As a result of the investigation which resulted in the indictments, suits will be brought against a number of subsidiaries of the United States Steel Corporation. Indictments were returned against Dan R. Hanna, Robert L. Ireland and D. T. McCabe, vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad. The Lake Shore is charged in one indictment of 32 counts with charging rebates to individual shippers. In other indictments conspiracy in violation of the Elkins railroad rate law is charged with the Mahoning and Shenango Dock Co., the Union Dock Co., the Ashtabula Dock Co. and the Angelline Dock Co. The Pennsylvania is charged in one indictment of 35 counts with granting rebates to shippers. The Nickel Plate is charged in one indictment of six counts with similar rebates. Six indictments are given against the Bessemer & Lake Erle railroad for rebate conspiracy with the Pittsburgh & Conneaut Dock Co. Evidence produced before the grand jury shows that railroads own the dock companies and lease the docks to operating companies under different names. An exception to this, however, was found in the case of the Pittsburg & Conneaut Dock Co., which, it is indicated, is owned by the steel trust itself. Testimony was produced to show that railroads arrange for the dock companies to unload vessels and load cars, and vice versa, and out of the amounts the railroads have paid the dock companies the dock companies have rebated to shippers sums reaching into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the rebate indictments, the railroads are indicted on charges of giving rebates, and in the joint indictments with the dock companies, they are charged with having entered into a conspiracy to violate the Elkins law. ROOSEVELT MAN STEPS OUT Chief Lieutenant of Ex-President in Saratoga Contest Tenders Resignation Dix Requested. Albany, N. Y.—Cornelius V.

He took an active part in the campaign last fall and was Theodore Roosevelt's "right-hand man" at the Republican state convention at Saratoga when Colonel Roosevelt wrested the temporary chairmanship from Vice President Sherman. Superintendent Collins had supervision over the four state prisons, Sing Sing, Auburn, Clinton and Great Meadows, and of the Matteawan and Dannemora state hospitals for the criminal insane. He also was a member of the state parole board. Soon after Governor Dix assumed office he requested Superintendent Collins to resign, but the superintendent refused.

Actress Sues Kaiser Berlin.—Here's one on the kaiser: Two actresses got into a row at his theater in Wiesbaden some time ago.

J.—Frank Shinnes, assistant city electrician, sent his automobile down Atlantic avenue at a mile a minute. He steered with one hand; his other arm was about the body of Joseph Englekee, manager of the city's auxiliary fire alarm system.

Engelkee, perched on a lofty crossarm of a telegraph pole, was making final inspection of the parts to the alarm system. He grasped a wire fire. WIT AND HUMOR Beauty Treatments "Bill" Snyder, the famous head keeper of the New York zoo, was describing to a reporter the 201-gallon oil baths that he gave the elephants in the autumn, when the harsh beasts begin to chap their bides. "These oil baths improve the elephants' looks," he said. "The elephants know it, too. The females especially know it. They take to these beauty treatments the same as women." The head keeper chuckled sardonically. "Women, though, go a step too far," he told me that at a ball the other night he said to his hostess: "Who is that pretty blonde eating lobster salad, ma'am?" "Why, don't you know her? his hostess cried. 'She's the pretty little brunette you flirted with last week.'" A. Cynical Chauffeur A chaufeur who had just returned to the garage after taking the state's examination to determine his fitness to be licensed, was asked by a fellow-worker what the questions were. "One of them was about meeting a skittish horse," he replied. "They asked what I would do if I approached a horse which showed signs of being afraid of the car and its driver held up his hand to me." "What's the answer?" asked a bystander. "Oh, I had that all right," the chaufeur replied. "I told 'em I'd stop the car, take it apart and hide the pieces in the grass." Somewhat Cold. Charles W. Barnard, a New England salesman, known to his friends as "Windy," tells a story of its being cold in Wells River. Once when he was there it was so cold that as soon as he spoke a word it was frozen and dropped to the floor of his room. In the middle of the night it grew warmer and he was awakened by some one talking. The sound seemed to come from the floor. He got up, lt the light and found that the frozen words were melting and returning the conversation that he had had the evening before. The Puff Personal "You are evidently very fond of books, sir," said an old gentleman to a young man in a tram car. "May I ask you whom you consider the best novelist of the day?" "Jenkins, undoubtedly," said the young man. "There's nobody can write like Jenkins. Why, sir, the circulating library can't supply his novels fast enough!" At this moment another man entered the tram car and addressed the young man. "Hallo, Jenkins!" he said. "How are you today?" Methaphorically Speaking "What do you think of these new palaces I have been rearing?" asked Mr. Dustin Stax. "Magnificent," replied the sync. "Yes," he proceeded, with a visible effort to be modest, "this early pomp reminds me that all the world is a stage." "Right. And the modern tendency is to make up with fine scenery for bad acting." Bully. An Irishman and his English friends were out rabbit shooting. They had been very unsuccessful and were returning downhearted when they saw a hare dart out of the hedge. Mike, in amazement, failed to shoot, and the hare escaped. "Why didn't you shoot it?" asked the Englishman. "Shure," said Mike, "I didn't see it till it was out of sight."
