Cleveland, O.—In the adoption of what amounts to a brand new state constitution the people of Ohio have tossed aside the devices under which they have been operating their state and municipal government for 50 and in some instances 100 years. The changes that have been made in the basic law of Ohio are far reaching and mark the most pronounced step forward that has been taken by any state in the union, not excepting the Pacific coast states and the younger states, such as Oklahoma and Arizona, which incorporated much of the new ideas of government in their first state constitutions. Arizona recently adopted the recall of all officers, including judges, and the new Arizona and Oklahoma constitutions generally have been considered the most liberal and even radical of all state charters. Further Than Any Other. Ohio has not incorporated the recall in her new charter, yet in the amendments covering the relations between employers and employees the people of this state have gone further than the people of any of the other American commonwealths. As the result of Tuesday's election Ohio has a constitution in many respects more liberal than that in Wisconsin. In other words, Ohio has gone beyond Wisconsin in adopting governmental reforms urged by Senator La Follette. The adoption of the new constitution places a tremendous load of responsibility upon the general assembly and new state administration which takes office Jan. 1. next. Upon the next assembly will rest largely the burden of putting into execution the new state charter, the remodeling of the laws to conform with the new, constitution. In large part, the new charter becomes effective Jan. 1, but a few days before the convening of the state legislature. Upon the next governor will rest much of the responsibility for directing the work of the assembly. People Take Powers. The people have taken to themselves largely increased powers, which the state legislature, no matter how disposed, can not override, and the probability, before the people of Ohio fully realize and become-acquainted with the extent of the power which they now possess. In the initiative and referendum the people have seized on a device which gives them an absolute check upon the powers of the state legislature now rekts with the electors of the state to bring about amendments to the constitution without legislative sanction, also to initiate legislation first through the general assembly, and then through an appeal to the electorate. The new power now vested in the people gives the electors the right to compel a referendum on all laws enacted by the legislature. Marks Vast Change The home rule amendment is scarcely less important in its effects. Both these charter changes touch the very roots of what has come to be known as popular governmental system under which municipalities have been operating for a century. Under the home rule amendment Cleveland, for example, is intended to be left almost entirely free to work out her own budget. Except for restittions as to the amount of money that may be expended and a very general restriction to cover state welfare, the people of Cleveland should be able to determine for themselves the kind of government they want. Municipalities Sleeps 36 Hours at Stretch. Wooster, O.-Henry Dull of Garden Isle is Wayne county's champion sleeper. Dull sleeps so much that his neighbors fear he has in some way contracted the African sleeping disease. Dull's desire for sleep has been coming on gradually for the last year and his family think nothing of it at all if he sleeps 24 and even as long as 36 hours. Dull is in fairly good health and says that when walking from one of his sleets is drowsy for a short time but feels no ill effects. THE GAZETTE HERBERT S. BIGELOW. Mr. Bigelow is president of the Ohio constitutional convention. He is a slergyman by profession. are empowered to determine their form of government by any one of three ways, as follows: a. They may, upon vote of the people, elect 15 citizens to frame a charter, which must be submitted to the voters for approval. b. They may adopt, by a majority vote, a form of government provided by the general assembly. This may be the commission form of government, the federal plan, the so-called Newport plan or as many other plans as the general assembly may provide. c. They may decide to be governed, as at present, by a municipal code, framed by the mayor. Such a code automatically takes effect in all municipalities which do not frame a municipal code. Submit to the people one or the other of the forms provided by the general as- Can Operate Utilities. The home rule amendment as adopted was drafted to give municipalities the right to acquire or construct and to own land which has been fought for ten years. Much of what has been adopted will have to go to the supreme court for final interpretation. In the meantime, how much of the land which has been fought for, active in campaign to initiate legislation. These campaigns have been started. For example, the Anti-Saloon league will demand on the legislature for a law will prevent shipments of liquor from wet into dry territory. It appears, will be used as a plaything for some time, certainly until the people become somewhat accustomed to the new powers they have acquired. Indications are that scores of municipalities are in assembly with the intention, at the outset, at least, to carry their direct to the people should favorable action be denied. No Vote This Year. None of these suggested laws, however, can be submitted at the general election in November. The first opportunity will be at the eleventh that a year from next November, after the election, the charter adopted will be worn off to some extent and the people may not be so active in the matter of direct legislation. A great step has been taken by the people with relation to control of the judiciary. By the amendments adopted the state judiciary is to be operated along the lines of the process of court review has been changed and the process shortened. Under the new, order of, things the circuit court is converted into a court of appeals and the new, order of, things the vision that their judgment in all ordinary matters shall be final and without review by the supreme court. A new chief justice is added to the supreme court and is moved to direct the movements of the judges of the inferior court. Probably most important of all, however, is a limitation on the power of the supreme court to declare any laws unlawful. Limits Supreme Court. Under the new charter no law can be declared unconstitutional if two judges or the supreme court hold dissenting opinions. In adopting a new charter the people have abolished state conventions, taking the power of nominating all candidates entirely into their own hands. The court has been opened wide for the enactment of laws that will give to employees a wide degree of protection, both materially and physically. Through the home rule proposal cities are permitted to take over and operate public utilities by issuing bonds above the amount of the limit prescribed by the statute. The court must also that such indebtedness must not be charged against the municipality's tax revenue. Then, on top of that is section 11 of amendment No. 22, declaring postal services to be free from charge unless must be paid by taxation and from a sinking fund created for that purpose. Indicate Higher Taxes. Of the other amendments which seen to act toward increased taxes: No. 12 provides that that to encourage forestry land devoted exclusively to forestry may be exempted from taxation. The legal statute also may authorize drainage of forestland and acquisition or land for forest reserves. No. 29 permits the state to issue nearly $400,000,000 of road bonds in lots up to $100,000,000 to be issued to belected to pay the interest and provide for the bonds' redemption. No. 40 gives additional rights to appropriate private property for public use, civic centers, park or street openings.

CASE GOES TO LEGISLATURE Roosevelt Progressives Sweep California at Primary Election and Will Have Majority of the State Lawmakers. White River Junction, Vt.—The full report of the balloting in the state election in Vermont has been compiled without altering to any material degree the general figures as indicated by the early returns. The unofficial total vote to governor reached 65,033, the largest in a state election in a presidential year since 1904. A sufficient number of Republican members of the leg were chosen to insure the seat. Of Allen M. Fletcher, in October, as well as the remainder of the Republican state ticket. The total vote of the state for all five candidates was: Allen M. Fletcher of Cavandish (Republican), 25,259. Harlan B. Howe of St. Johnsbury (Democrat), 20,350. Rev. Fraser Metzger of Randolph (Progressive), 15,800. Clement F. Smith of Morriaville (Prohibition), 1,443. Fred W. Suiter of Barre (Socialist), 1,181. The Republicans re-elected both their congressmen, Frank L. Greene of St. Albans, and Frank Plumley of Northfield. They carried 11 of the 14 counties and 187 of the 246 cities and towns. Fletcher Assured of Seat Fletcher Assured of Seat. Fletcher, the Republican candidate for governor, to be sure, has a plurality but a majority is necessary to elect. Consequently the legislature will be called upon to choose the governor. This body was almost unanimously Republican in 1910-11 and of the senators and representatives chosen September 3, a competent majority will be Republicans, so that Mr. Fletcher is assured of the seat which the people at the polls have refused him. Despite a heavy rain during most of the day, the voters came out in unusual force: The bitterness of the campaign, the vigorous efforts of the new Progressive party and the Democratic insistence upon local issues, such as railway taxation, combined to stir even the smallest communities. It is evident that many Prohibitionists and some Socialists gave Metzger their suffrages. The Democrats are boasting that they have more than held their own, their normal vote is 17,000 and are not losing to the Progressives. Primary Election in California. Los Angeles, Sept. 4.—Incomplete returns from the various sections of the state indicate that the Roosevelt Progressives have swent the state in the primary election and will have a majority in the California leg sluice. This has the signifiant meaning that probably no Taft presidential electors will appear on the ballot in this state at the presidential election in November. According to the peculiar provisions of the California primary law, the candidates for the state legislature who have become the nominees of the party in the primaries meet and select the presidential electors. With the national political significance in view, the Roosevelt supporters in California concentrated their efforts in selecting at the primaries legislative candidates pledged to vote for Roosevelt electors. With the success of their campaign in the primaries, the only way the Taft Republicans can have Taft electors placed on the ballot at the general election is through the institution of legal proceedings. CARBOLIC ACID KILLS YOUTH CARBOLIC ACID KILLS YOUTH Deadly Fluid Causes Boy's Death and His Chum Is Locked Up Suffering From Burns. Canton, O.—William Johanning, 18, of this city, is dead, and Curtis Dorrow, 17, is locked up at police station here suffering from burns about the face as the result of drinking carbolic acid in the room of Dorrow's sweetheart, Miss Hilda Huprich, 16, while the girl looked on. Dorrow said he had gone into Miss Huprich's room and upraised her "for having another fellow." Then he said he pulled out the whisky bottle and told her he gushed he would commit suicide. Seeing some carbolic acid in a bottle on the bureau, he poured it into the whisky bottle. Here Johanning entered, he says, and was invited to drink half of the mixture. He accepted and followed that drink with a long draught from the bottle. He died later at a hospital. Fire Renders Thousands Homeless. Los Angeles, Cal.—Five thousand people are homeless in Santa Monica as the result of a fire which originated in the kitchen of the Casino cafe at 5 p. m. and burned uncontrolled until nearly nine o'clock at night. Six solid blocks of cottages and apartment houses, crowded with summer visitors, were destroyed. The famous Frazer's million dollar pier, with all its concession buildings, was totally destroyed, except for the concrete piling of the pier itself.

Columbus, O.—Fifteen hundred delegates listening reverently to the reading of the Scriptures, reciting in unison the Lord's Prayer and then lifting their voices in the patriotic hymn, "My Country 'Tis of Thee," was the inspiring and impressive picture presented at the first session of the first Ohio state convention of the Progressive party. JAMES B. GARFIELD "This great convention shows that the old spirit of liberty is not dead in Ohio," said James R. Garfield, in sounding the keynote at the bull moose convention here. "Ohio men will live up to their best traditions and be in the front of the present day struggle for strengthening and perpetuating popular government," he continued. "The Progressive party has been formed because the Republican and Democratic parties are not acquiring themselves like men in fullness of strength, but as worn-out men unequal to the task of dealing with the abuses and wrongs that afflict the body politic. **Attacks Old Parties.** "Both the old parties are now in the control of those who use party power and machinery for their own benefit, or for the interests they represent. "The old division between Republicans and Democrats no longer exists. A new line has been drawn—it runs between reactionaries and pro-pressives. "The Progressive party comes from the people themselves in response to deep-seated conviction that a new party is absolutely necessary if we are to move forward in the struggle, for self-government." "The Progressive party will expose and attack the combination of crooked politics and crooked business that too often occurs in both national and state affairs. In our own state the last Democratic legislature, and in the national the Lorimer case and the Archbold-Penrose conspiracy, are striking examples of such combination." "The relation of business to politics must be open and above board. The Progressive party makes no attack upon legitimate business, but it wars upon crooked business. "The Progressive party promises definite action upon the tariff, trusts, currency, conservation of resources and other matters of national concern. "It is not expected that existing evil conditions can be immediately changed. No utopian commonwealth is promised, but we set our faces in the right direction when we dap the Progressive principles." Noted Soil Expert Is Dead Washington, D. C.-Dr. W. J. M. Gee, noted anthropologist, geologist and hydrologist, for many years the soil and water expert in the department of agriculture, bureau of soils, died in Washington after an illness of several weeks. Dr. McGee's activities in many lines of scientific study gave him a nation wide acquaintance and prominence. He explored Tuburon Island in the Gulf of California in 1894 and 1895, the island being the home of a tribe of cannibal Indians. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY LADY MARJORIE MANNERS BECOMES MAROUIS' BRIDE Bow low to her—Lady Marjorie Manners, eldest daughter of the Duke nerer—Lady Marjorie of the Duke of Rutland, is now the Mar- chioness of Anglesey! A. After ten years of suspense this "most beautiful girl in the kingdom," as Queen Alexandra called her, was the other day married to one of England's richest peers, Lord Anglesey has a real $1,000,000 a year. What is something more, he is considered the handsomest man in all the house of lords. He has been in this country several times, always after big game. London society—and this includes very many Americans—is all upset about the newest betrothal, quite the most important of the year. It is the greatest surprise of the season now ending. Designing dowagers have been angling after Anglesey ever since he came so unexpectedly into his marquisate and his millions in 1905, and all but one of them are now beaten. Anglesey was only a cousin of the title—and the money—when it all suddenly came to him. That bejeweled young fop, the fifth Marquis of Anglesey, was his cousin. Crazy about clothes, actresses and display, he knew not how to enjoy the great wealth which was his. He died suddenly at Monte Carlo, and his body was fung in the suicide's patch awaiting orders from England. Finally it was shipped there in a plain deal packing case, and only a score of persons attended the quiet funeral of the young man who had a million a year and didn't know how to spend it properly. And so to plain Charles Paget, his cousin, went the money and the title. This young chap was cast in a wholly different mold. Good-looking, clever, fond of life and people, he had spent his modest nineteen years in all simplicity. He found his vast estates—40,000 acres make up his domain—quite encumbered. Even then they were worth $400,000 a year in income to him, but careful management has put them back where they were when his eccentric cousin inherited them. Today they are worth half a hundred million dollars and bring him in two hundred thousand pounds sterling a year income, which is the American equivalent of a million dollars a year. Lady Marjorie was born in a tent near Las Vegas, N. M., when her parents were spending a vacation there in 1883. The bride is two years older than her husband.

In the past 10 years she has possessed more leisure for such occupation as flowers, books, patriotic and philanthropic work than in the days when her children were small and her husband just beginning a career which has rounded out with the vice presidency of the nation. One of her chief loves is in the love of groomingings, and as the years have passed she added extensively to the modest greeneries, ferners and gardens of her Utica home. Since her marriage Mrs. Sherman has managed her end of the dual responsibility of making a home, and has taken entire control of domestic matters. It was she who selected and in many instances planted the many choice trees, shrubs and flowers that fill the well-planned gardens, and it is she who attends to the house plants and their transfer into winter quarters. For years Mrs. Sherman made it a habit not to go to Washington until after Christmas, in order that she might give undived care to the plants removed from the grounds and distributed through her home and placed in the greenhouse. For years also she discouraged her husband in getting a Washington home, for the reason that her plants and flowers are such an essential part of it that she could not conceive a pleasant environment without them. Among the large and influential group of New Yorkers resident in Washington she is held in particular esteem, and is in a way a sort of dean and arbiter of social affairs for them. Obliged Him. The panhandler met the prosperous man in the corridor of the office building. "I am down and out," whined the panhandler. "Can you help me?" "Yes," replied the prosperous man. "Just press that button on the elevator there and the operator will take you in and up." The Main Point. "Don't you think it is dreadful about all this graft business being discovered?" "Of course, I do. Why, with such a good thing, couldn't they keep it quiet?" AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The Philadelphia Tribune has a philosopher on its staff who signs himself "Just Gone." In a recent issue of the Tribune he says: "There are some mong us who seem to be worried because of the evident steady growth of color prejudice. They should remember that the proper thing to do is to stop worrying and bend their energies to improving conditions. Other classes have been as much despised as are we. For a Christian to associate with a Jew years ago was considered a degrading act. And yet by industry and economy the Jew has overcome it. The serf of Russia is not deprived of his rights because of his color, nor is the Irishman because of his brogue. The underlying cause in all such cases is condition, such as by comparison shows one class of people to be stronger than another. We must, therefore, develop our powers by all the means within our reach. Many of us grow enthusiastic over white people' business, but show little or no interest in affairs which concern us directly. We allow vice to flourish without an effort to check it; wrongs to be plotted against us without striving to checkmate them, and fakers, both in church and civic life to pursue the even tenor of their ways while we smile; talk of their smart tricks, but make no organized effort to stop them in their mad career. As though unmindful of the fact that these things affect conditions." And it should not be overlooked that negroes have as much color prejudice as other sorts of people, and have as nasty a way of showing it. It is hard to find a negro who thinks and speaks well of another negro, before his face or behind his back. The Christian Recorder says: "Following the lead of Chicago, Philadelphia has appointed a commission to study the social evil, and the conditions creating vice in this community. This is a step forward. The Chicago commission has a colored member—our Bishop C. T. Shaffer. It is unfortunate that Philadelphia, with a larger colored population by two-fold, has no such representation. For the vice question greatly concerns our people; not that we are given more to vice than others, but that, being poor, as a rule, many of our neighborhoods have forced upon them conditions which they are unable to prevent. It is notorious that a great deal of the vice of the white race is concentrated in colored communities. This condition deserves most careful study, and we are sure Philadelphia's commission will lose much of its efficiency because it has no person on it who has studied first hand and knows conditions among our hundred thousand people of color." The best way for a person to get things done for himself needful to be done is to 'ake the lead in talking and doing them, and in a short time the things will be done. The negro ministers of Philadelphia, and of every other large city in the Union, should be an association in restraint of the social evil. In some cities they already have such, as in Chicago, but all the cities need it. Negroes of the large cities have got to organize themselves and combat immorality, crime and poverty as others do it. When they have so organized they become a factor to be counted in all of the uplift work in the community and to share in the moneys set apart by public appropriation or charitable benevolence to aid in improving and relieving immoral, criminal and indigent conditions. At the A. M. E.' General conference in Kansas City, Dr. C. V. Roman said: The Negroes are only beginning to be a race. Racial consciousness has been lacking, but the Negro is finding himself. The material for a strong race is in him, but he faces the difficulties that every growing race has encountered—class prejudices and race prejudice. It has been said the Negro is dying out, but the race never was stronger than today. At the close of the civil war there were 4,000,000 Negroes in the United States; now there are 10,000,000. Mrs. John A. Cathey, 1291 College avenue, Memphis, Tenn., manager of the "All Star Musical Course," alleged that she was mistaken for a colored woman as a basis for her $50,000 damage suit against the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad filed in the Shelby county court, Tennessee. Funny thing about bargains. The people who offer them always get rich faster than those who take advantage of them. J. Plerpont Morgan promises Fisk university $25,000 if all of $240,000 less that amount is raised from other sources. More than half of the required sum has already been subscribed and collected. It takes the dark periods in our lives to make us conscious of the lives of others, just as it takes the darkened sky of night to reveal to us the existence of other worlds. Nine times out of ten pastime is time wasted. PY FIVE CENTS. AN CULLINGS The Tuskegee Student quotes the following from Dr. Washington's talk to the summer school members at Tuskegee Institute, June 21: "How often is it true that you see a schoolhouse that is a little old building out in a field somewhere—in a lonely spot, with no shelter near it? There is no sense in that. There is no reason why that building should not be alive with the activities that concern the people in that community. There is no reason why it should not be like many of the homes of the pupils in that community. In many cases, if you go inside, you will find that there is not a single thing taught there that has any relationship to the life of the people in that community. I might just as well be located 50 miles from that spot, so far as there is any vital connection between the school and the home life. "Whether you are in the city, town or country, study the life of the parents and their activities, and every time you get a chance, make a connection between what you are teaching in the school room and the life of the people. Suppose, for instance, you are teaching in the city and you have a problem relating to measurements. Suppose you find a room being plastered by colored mechanics. Instead of spending the time on a dead problem in a book, take your class to that room and let them measure the room. Let them figure the cost of lathing and plastering, not in an imaginary room, but in an actual room right there in the city, and those colored mechanics will begin to wake up and get interested in you. Moreover, the children will have an interest in the problem that they never would have had so long as they were dealing with a mere book problem." This is high class advice; but there are no dead problems in books; they all had life and meaning once as problems; when they ceased to be problems the spirit of them was transformed into new problems, with life and meaning in them, such as we have now. The problems of life are solved in the philosopher's library, as Plato, Bacon and Emerson solved them, and in the scientist's laboratory, as Marconi, Burbank and Edison solved them, before the school teacher, the preacher or the mechanic can apply them to the parents and children, they seek to instruct in the rudiments of mind, heart and hand education. At its forty-ninth annual commencement this year Wil伯力force university conferred degrees upon 76 graduates. In addition the degree of LL. D. was conferred on Bishop J. Albert Johnson of the South African diocese, Bishop Levi J. Coppin of Philadelphia, and Hon. J. C. Napier, register of the United States treasury. The degree M. A. was conferred upon Dr. A. H. Hathaway, president of the Edward Water college of Florida, and William Stewart, a brother of Chaplain Stewart of Wil伯力force. Two degrees of D. D. were conferred. The board of trustees concluded its work by re-electing Prof. W. S. Scarborough president of the university and re-electing all of the old teachers and providing for two or three new ones, who will be named later. The university is still at work on a fund of $25,000 for a new science building. Its efforts in this campaign have just received the commendation of former Senator J. B. Foraker. Every one begins life alike—it's the finish that tells the story. After all it must be conceded that the white man who presides over a Negro audience has the advantage of a Negro, is the conclusion of Rev. Richard Carroll. I have had occasion to notice the proceedings of the M. E. colored church and other organizations that are presided over by white men. The Negro, as a rule, shows more respect to a white man than he does to his own race. There are less "plints" of order raised, less noise, better decorum. I have never known any one to attempt to insult a white presiding officer, especially a white bishop. Pullman porters are not being considered in the bill pending in congress to provide a remedy and compensation for accident injuries resulting in disability or death to employees of railroads and common carriers engaged in interstate or foreign commerce. An effort is being made to strengthen some of the weak points in what is known as the employers' liability and workmen's compensation act, with a view to protecting workingmen in the matter of compensation. In public education Texas is leading all other southern states. Last year it built two schoolhouses a day at a cost of $3,000,000. That's setting a pace worthy to be imitated by her sisters. No one is so particular in his description of a thing as the man who is ordering the impossible and is too dumb to know it. "A stitch in time" is all right, but it isn't so pleasant when time begins to take stitches in you.

A GREAT VICTORY. As we go to press, the indications are that proposal No. 24, with nearly all the others save a few, has been ratified by the voters of Ohio at the polls Tuesday. This will eliminate the word "white" from the suffrage clause but not from the military clause of the new state constitution. The major of the Ninth Battalion and the captain of its local company, both residents of this city, could have helped their organization last fall and since, by joining in the effort the great mass of our people of this community made to have the objectionable word eliminated from both clauses. Instead, they "knocked." Hon. David Cunningham. The Gazette, in common with our people of this community, has the great satisfaction of knowing it did its best nearly all of last year and this, to Tuesday, to do its full duty to those of the race in Ohio, in this matter. The following is self-explanatory, and is but one of many received on Wednesday of this week: Cleveland, Sept. 4, T2. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor of The Gazette, Dear Sir: Allow me to congratulate you on your勇敢 fight and complete victory. May your every fight in the future be as successful, is my earnest wish. Respectfully yours, Frank D. Brown. Thanks to all for such kind and encouraging words of commendation and praise. As a matter of fact, all who helped in any way in the effort, are entitled to the same, and Mr. Brown was one of the number. THE MANHOOD IN THE PIT. "A man may put me in a pit, and keep me there, if he is strong enough. BUT I WILL ACT SO THAT HE WILL KNOW THAT THERE'S A MAN IN THAT PIT." It was a Negro who said this. He was speaking of the wrongs of the Negro race. IT HAS A LESSON FOR EVERY MAN WHO FEELS THAT HE IS OPPRESSED. WRONGS WE MUST ALL ENDURE, BUT THE WRONG IS HALF UNDONE WHEN HE WHO IS IN THE PIT KEeps HIS MANHOOD UNSCATHED. Does your employment seem beneath you? Are you subject to humiliations? You may not be able to cure the evils from which you outwardly suffer, but you may make respectable, and even noble, the pit in which you are placed—by being a MAN. Marcus Aurelius Antonius said that nothing harms a man which does not make him a worse man. Slavery, pain, poverty, the wrongs of enemies—all these harm the enslayer, because they make him a worse man—harm the inflictor of pain, and the creator of poverty, and the doers of the wrong—but not the person suffering these things UNLESS HE ALLOWS THEM TO MAKE HIM A WORSE MAN. Marcus Aurelius Antonius was an emperor, and suffered only those wrongs which emperors suffer. But Epictetus, the slave, was of the same mind with him. To slave and emperor alike, the way is open to triumph over adversity by keeping MANHOOD unimpaired. And remember this, that no class of men can remain in the pit. If each sees to it that so far as he is concerned there shall be a MAN in the pit. Shackles fall from the limbs of REAL MEN. Individuals like Epictetus may be REAL MEN and also slaves—though Epictetus finally ruled his master by sheer manhood. BUT IF ALL THE SLAVES IN ROME HAD BEEN MEN LIKE EPictetus, WOULD THEY HAVE REMAINED SLAVES? NO! AND IF EVERY NEGRO, AND EVERY WAGE SLAVE IN THE LAND SHOULD SUDDENLY DEVELOP HIGH, EXALTED MANHOOD, THE RACE PROBLEM AND THE LABOR PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED—SOLVED BY THE MANHOOD OF THE VERY MEN INVOLVED IN THEM. WHEN MEN ARE IN THE PIT THEY ANNHILATE THE PIT. THE GREATEST NEED OF THE WORLD IS MANHOOD—Ex. SENATOR FORAKER For the benefit of the editor of the Columbia (S. C.) Indicator we desire to say that we thought every member of the race knew that Senator Joseph Benson Foraker was an active and aggressive friend of the race for MANY years prior to the “Brownville” affair—ever since, when but a lad, he participated in the war of the rebellion—The Cleveland, Ohio Gazette. "The Gazette has missed the point altogether. We do not say that Senator Foraker is in charge of Colored race. What we said and do say yet is that if the ex-Senator had hated Col. Roosevelt less, his defense of the Colored soldiers could be regarded purely and simply as a plea for them. Under the circumstances we are sure that even The Gazette must admit that there were motives other than a defense of the race. If not, then The Gazette must write Sen. Tillman down, too, as a defender of the race—an absurd thing. —Columbia (S. C.) Indicator. The Gazette did not "miss the point altogether," or otherwise, but "hit the nail squately on the head." Our conferee was wrong in his original or first statement, anent the Senator, and is as wrong in his latest. Senator Foraker did NOT hate Roosevelt, and his defense of "The Black Battalion" WAS "a plea for them, pure and simple." Long after he began his grand fight for our outraged soldiers, he and Mrs. Foraker were special guests of President Roosevelt at the White House and were singled out from all the many guests present at that great governmental social function by the then Chief Executive and his wife, for attention that made them the cynosure of all eyes. This was received by our great Senator and his lovely wife in the kindly friendly spirit they believed it given. He told the writer shortly afterward, at the same time marveling at the President's strenuous opposition to any fair treatment of "The Black Battallion" on the part of the United States Senate or the Congress, saying that he (the Senator) could not understand the President (in that important matter) or his motives. It was a considerable time later, that Roosevelt began his miserable criticism of the Senator's efforts, in behalf of our outraged soldiers, that amounted almost to personal abuse: the kind that invariably characterizes his differences and controversies with every public man who has the temerity to differ from him on almost any important subject. The motive that prompted Senator Joseph Benson Foraker to defend the right of even an Afro-American soldier to "his day in court" when accused of crime, ought now to be clear to even our esteemed conferee of the Columbia (S. C.) Indicator. There was no other motive. Our great Senator was at the time, and still is, a veteran of the war of the rebellion, an orator, jurist and statesman! A Christian gentleman! SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR. England's leading and most noted composer dead—Well known in this country—Author of "Hiawatha." London, Enk., Sept. 1, '12—Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, England's most famous composer, director and teacher, author of "Hiawata," known throughout the world as a result of its excellence as a musical composition, died here today. He was born in this country in 1874 and was another being an educator in 1878 with his father a native African. Mr. Taylor was educated in this country.

Scott of the M. E. Church, at St. Louis, Mo., recently, urged our moneyed men to engage in business in Africa. He is bishop there. Believing that they are upholding President Taft's "new southern policy," democratic U. S. Senators are "holding up" the confirmation of his appointment of Capt. Robert Smalls as Collector of the Port at Beaufort, S. C. There are comparatively few white residents of Beaufort. A delegation of prominent eastern Afro-Americans recently went to the White House and invited the president to address the national convention of Negro Republicans in New York City Sept. 18, 19 and 20 and the annual session of the New York state Baptist convention to be held in New York, Oct. 24. The president held the invitation in abeyance. The director of the census has just issued a report showing a big increase in the mulatto population. Our total population is given as 9,827,763. Of this number, 2,056,688 are mulattos. In 1870 the mulattos numbered 584,000, or 12 per cent of our whole population, while now they number 21 per cent. Mrs. Laura Anderson Hamilton stood first in a civil service examination for postmaster at Fort Ethel Allen, Vermont, and was appointed July 25 at a salary of $80 per month. There were three candidates for the position, who were Mrs. Hamilton. She is the first woman of her race to land a like position over the civil service route. The flood that drove Dennis McCullough from Cairo, Ill., to St. Louis, waffled him into a prosperous business. He set up a barbershop at McCullough set up a section of an iron fence and is barboring meat for the neighborhood. His sign, "Southern Barbecue," attracts the attention of every passenger on Page cars, which pass the place. Sneaking for his party, Col. Theo, Roosevelt said, last week: "Our hope is that under the lead of practical, competent, high-minded white men, we shall in the end everywhere see—and nowhere save under such lead will we ever see—the right of free political expression secured to the Negro who shows that he possesses the intelligence, integrity and self-respect which justify such right of political expression in his white neighbor." MOTHER KATHERINE DREXEL'S SCHOOL Chicago, Ill.—Mother M. Katherine Drexel of Philadelphia, superior and founder of the order of Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament at Cornwall, Pa., who has contributed several millions to Negro and Indian schools, has arrived to take charge of the new school for our Catholic children, the first in Chicago, which will be opened this month at Thirty-sixth and Dabash Ave. for the children of St. Monica's Church, of which Rev. John Morris is pastor. She paid $26,000 for the old armory and is converting it into a school for the children of the school be for a convent for the six sisters of the Blessed Sacrament order which Mother Drexel has assigned here as teachers in the school. COL. "BOB" CHURCH DEAD. Said to Have Been a Millionaire— Father of Miree Mary Church Memphis, Tenn.—From slavery to a millionaire is the brief life story of Col. Robert R. Church, who died here, Aug. 31. He was born seventy-four years ago in Holly Springs, Miss. Mr. Church's wealth is estimated by Memphis bankers to exceed $1,000,000. He owned valuable business property and over 350 acres in the area, hundred acres of land near it. He began life on a cotton plantation. When old enough to work he was "sold" to the owner of a Mississippi river steamboat. His boyhood life was spent as cabinboy on a boat that plied in and out of the harbor of Memphis. After the civil war he left the river and got a position with a wholesale merchant. From that he embarked in the saloon business. Then he began to buy real estate. Col. Church was the plow-Albert of prominence who ever subscribed to entertain the confederate veterans at their annual reunions. A wife and children, in addition to a son and daughter by his first wife, survive him. BUGKEYE. LETTERS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE BLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS.

Ice creams are divided into two classes, the Neapolitan and the Philadelphia. The former contains a large proportion of eggs, is made like a custard. The latter is creamy, being made of cream almost wholly. In preparing the Neapolitan cream, care should be taken to strain the custard after adding the eggs well beaten. The cooking is another important matter, as too long cooking curdles the custard and too little leaves a raw, uncooked taste. In adding fruit, such as berries or peaches, care should be taken that they are thoroughly mashed and sweetened before adding to the frozen mixture. Always chill the cream before freezing, as it freezes smoother and quicker. The following recipes are not commonly seen, though they are not at all hard to prepare: Burnt Almond Ice Cream.—Blanch four ounces of shelled almonds and brown them in the oven. Pound to a paste in a mortar, adding a little sugar and cream to make a paste. Beat six eggs, add the almond mixture, a pound of sugar and a quart of cream, with a teaspoonful of vanilla. Scald the eggs with half of the cream. Maple Perfect.—Cook four well beaten eggs in a cup of hot maple sirup, add a teaspoonful of vanilla, a pint of thick cream and freeze. Orange Ice.—Make a sirup of a pint of sugar and a quart of water, boil 15 minutes, add a pint of orange juice and a half cup of lemon juice, the peel of a lemon and orange. The peel can be boiled with the sugar. Cool and freeze. Orange Delicious.—A cup each of orange and lemon juice, a cup and a half of sugar or sufficient to sweeten a pint of cream. Freeze. Nellie Maxwell. Charles M. Schwab, at a luncheon on the Olympic, praised temperance "Mistrust the hard drinker," said Mr. Schwab. "He is selfish, he is self-indulgent.

Latest News of Interest Boiled Down for the Busy Man. Washington President and Mrs. Taft entertained the foreign and American delegates to the eighth international conference of applied chemistry. William Loeb, Jr., and George B. Cortelyou, both former private secretaries to Colonel Roosevelt when he was president; William Hearst, and John D. Arcbold have formally been asked to appear before the senate committee investigating campaign contributions when it resumes hearings late this month. Under an order by Postmaster General litchock the pay of rural carriers is increased from $1,000 to $1,100. Domestic The large force of armed guards which has been stationed around the John D. Rockefeller estate at Pocantico Hills, near Tarrytown, N. Y., for the last two weeks, was established because of death threats received by Mr. Rockefeller himself and members of the family, according to the New York World. The fifth annual meeting of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways association opened in New London, Conn. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew met in annual session at the University of Chicago. A plot among convicts in the Michigan state prison at Jackson was subdued only after a pitched battle with several companies of militia under Governor Osborn, the local fire companies, the prison guards and special deputies. One prisoner was shot while trying to escape and the interior of the prison was wrecked. Threats of instant death by bomb for himself and wife unless a spect-fied sum of money is paid at once to the society of the Black Hand are contained in a letter received by William Rutherford Mead, head of the noted firm of McKim, Mead & White, architects of New York city. Declaring that his arrest in London was a part of a plot between the Belgian police and the thieves who stole the jewels from the princess of Thurn and Taxis to allow the real robbers time to escape, Norman Selby, better known as Kid McCoy, arrived in New York on board the American liner St. Lotls from Southampton. The steamer Grosser Korfurst, which arrived at New York from Bremen, brought 375 members of the National German-American Teachers' association, who left New York July 2 and traveled through various parts of Europe, one month being passed in Germany. Not fewer than twenty four known to be dead and eleven others believed to have perished are the results of a terrific storm which swept western and northern Pennsylvania. The Panhandle district of West Virginia and a section of eastern Ohio. The storm was the most devastating in the history of these localities. Four persons were killed in the wreck of passenger train No. 10 on the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad, which plunged into the Lemonweaver river near Camp Douglas, Wls. Every car, including the sleepers, with passengers still in their berths, was hurled into the stream, whose waters, augmented by cloudburst, had made it a torrent. The body of James Donnelly, a wealthy coal mine operator of Bradford, Pa., was found in Lake Michigan at Chicago under circumstances so mysterious that the combined efforts of police, coroner's staff and Captain Carland of the United States life saving station have failed to explain the cause. Over $2,000 in cash was found in his pockets. The trial of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker on an indictment charging him with the murder of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, will begin in New York City September 12, before Supreme Court Justice John W. Goff, appointed by Governor Dix. The thirtieth anniversary of the beginning of commercial incandescent lighting occurred Wednesday, September 4. September 4, 1882, Thomas A. Edison started in operation the world's first central station in an old brick building in Jouer New York. Delegates from nearly every state in the union were at Denver for the opening of the fortieth annual convention of the American Fisheries society. President S. F. Fullerton of St. Paul called the convention to order. County Prosecutor Conkling, who was to have set the date for the third trial of Dr. B. Clarke Hyde for the murder of Col. Thomas B. Swope of Kansas City,' postponed his decision until next Thursday. One of the most remarkable scenes ever witnessed in the courtroom of a justice of the peace of Washington occurred in that city when Mrs. Elizabeth Platt, a negress, was placed on trial, charged by her neighbors, both black and white, with being a witch. The number of deaths in the recent storm in western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and the panhandle district of West Virginia will run close to fifty. Belated reports from communities cut off from wire connection with the world by the devastating floods are adding to the death list. His foot caught in the guy rope of a balloon. Chester Betts, aged fourteen years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Betts, living in Flint, Mich. was carried 2,000 feet in the air and then dropped through the roof of a barn. The tragedy occurred at the fair grounds and 5,000吓red spectators, including his parents, saw the boy plunge to death. Politics The Progressives and the Democrats won the honors in the Vermont state election, for, although the Republicans carried the state on a plurality vote, there was no election by a majority vote and the choice of a governor was thrown into the legislature. There the Republicans will have a sufficient majority to elect Allen M. Fletcher and the remainder of the state ticket. The nomination of Judge John C. Karel as gubernatorial candidate on the Democratic ticket is conceded by his opponent, Adolph J. Schmitz, by a safe majority, in Wisconsin. This was the chief state contest in the primary, there being no contest for the Republican nomination for governor. California Progressives won the fight for control of the state legislature and the right to the designation "Kepublican" on the ticket in November.

Have you noticed the variety and the beauty of the ribbons displayed even at this season of the year at the ribbon counter? So handsome and unusual are they that it is not surprising that the designers have made various uses of them. Just at present the picot edge ribbons are the newest and are a favorite trimming for the summer hat. In addition to the taffeta faille, moire and marquisette ribbons, there are some lovely ones showing antique designs with brocade and flower patterns. These The chief concern regarding frocks that are of such materials as the popular marquise and batiste is how to invest them with the requisite amount of fullness at the top without increasing the number of inches Fashion has decreed for the hem. This problem is solved in various interesting ways, one of which is demonstrated in the model sketched. The original is of white marquiseette made, for convenience, on a foundation of wash blond, which is propally fitted, with the fullness taken in in darts. Then the marquiseette is gathered at the waist line, which is slightly eloped at the waist, which is eloped all round and bound with emerald taftafe. At this point the tunic is met and the length completed by a series of three ruffles, each scalloped and trimmed, with an inch-wide shirt red band of marquiseette, enclosed by the green silk cording. The banding, with its hint of green encircles the waist as a belt. A scroll design formed of it finishes the short cut-in-one sleeve, and decorates the lower part of the blouse, while the rather deeply V-shaped neck is outlined with a double ruffle of white chiffon and a bit of the ruffling runs up the slashed sleeves. Although the shirred bandings were ruffled a great deal during the first of the seasons, they seem neither to have lost anything of their popularity nor to have become common. They still figURE in the most exclusive new frocks L. and may be counted upon through fall. A new use for them is found in connection with panniers. For instance, a banding perhaps two inches wide is shaped around the pannier where it finishes below the hips, or a longer band of the same material is stretched across the back, holding up the pannier drapery. The ends of the band are gracefully curved, terminating in scroll points. Some of the white marquisettes, embroidered with detached flowers, are made up with taffeta bandings inclosed in marquisette cords, or the bandings are all of the taffeta in some bright color An original and effective model that is equally suited to marquise or foulard involves a suggestion of the pannier. The design is carried out in white marquise in the original, embroidered in an all-over pattern in "old" blue. The straight, scant skirt turns tumultuous by the breath of the marquise of the embroidered accents sides and back. Around this is a wide band of blue taffeta. The band extends across the back, finishing in a circle at either end. AFTERNOON TEA APRONS Afternoon tea aprons of the daintiest fabrics are quite de riguer with us at present. For years these charming accessories of dress have been worn on the continent, but in this country they have rarely been seen, though in the days of our grandmothers no lady was considered "dressed" without her little apron of black satin, gaily embroidered. Household duties have demanded some practical sort of ploiseau, it is true, but it is only lately that we have again begun to look upon the little apron as ornamental rather than economical, and to make the afternoon tea, at which we receive our friends, an occasion for wearing one. Dainty aprons may be evolved out of ribbons and lace, and may be of any size that pleases the fancy of the wearer. Soft white silk, with dainty sprigs of pale blue, made up a pretty apron cut in one piece, with a pointed bib and a long narrow drooping front. The apron is made from the waist with pale blue ribbon. An edge and frill of lace gave their pretty finishing touch. QUAINT JEWELS Animal jewelry does not decline in favor and the new fancy is for dogs and cats, made of chiseled topaz and amethyst. A marvelous amount of intelligence can be conveyed by a clever chiseling of the stones, and different kinds of dogs and also of cats are displayed. All are very small, and though some are seated inside a triangle of gold, the majority are provided only with rings by which they can be attached and worn as charms on a long chain THE SEASON'S RIBBONS. Have you noticed the variety and the beauty of the ribbons displayed even at this season of the year at the ribbon counter? So handsome and unusual are they that it is not surprising that the designers have made various uses of them. Just at present the pictet edge ribbons are the newest and are a favorite trimming for the summer hat. In addition to the taffetta faille, moire and marquisette ribbons, there are some lovely ones showing antique designs with brocade and flower patterns. These are used as border to the frocks of crepon. Then there are the brocaded ribbons with the design picked out in silver or gold threads, the irregularly striped Peking ribbons, the handsome metallic ribbons and those with embroidered and open work designs. To tie the feather boas which are so universally worn in Paris there are bows of ribbons with long ends, often falling below the waist line. More youthful in appearance are the ruffs made of gathered or pleated ribbon. Searls are often made with borders of ribbons or a series of graded ribbons, the widest being at the edge. A stunning scarf of pink and white mousseline de sole bands was joined with white fallie ribbon on which a design of pink roses had been outlined as artistically as if washed in with the brush of an artist. For ruchings, shirrings and quillings for gowns and hats and coats, and even parasols, ribbon is very much easier and more convenient to use than taffeta by the piece. SLEEVES ARE TO BE LONG. When this summer has passed women will put away the cold cream jar, as far as its use on the elbows is concerned. No more sitting up nights to cold cream the unagainst elbows in an effort to make them beautiful. No one will know if they are not. "When the frost is on the 'punkkie' and the corn is in the shock" every woman who follows the fashion will be wearing long sleeves. Real long ones, which will come down well over the hands. These new sleeves will start at the shoulder and run down in a long straight line, covering half of the hands. Talk about long, lean lines—they will be leaner and longer than ever. Women will try to be thinner than ever. With the long sleeves there will be longer and straighter skirts, and all of them will trail on the floor except those for street wear. Even they are longer than are now worn. There will be no place for the fat woman when the fall styles are in full swing. THE ROMNEY HAT. Autumn millinery nodes are undeclared yet, and changes of fashion will not be made known until about mid-August. Meanwhile we see many examples of the new round velour-felt with straw underbrim and straw band. This is very fascinating and quite light and useful for wear just now in the holiday season, while it will no doubt continue to be in vogue in the winter. The picturesque Romney hat is a novel revival just now. Many pretty straws have been seen in this shape, with long, curling feather encircling the brim and falling over the crown. Both the Romney and Gainsborough shapes promise to be fashionable in the winter season. A curious drooping Capeline hat in folded satin is a novelty which was seen recently worn with a gown of satin chameuse. It was more picturesque than practical, but what matters that if it is becoming? FASHIONABLE FOOTWEAR Some ingenious person has had the idea that we may as well have our feet in harmony with our faces, and so our hose are being made to match our veils in pattern of fine cobwebwy lace which are not quite so disgusting on our extremities as they are when masking the presumably delicate complexion of some fair lady. Our lengthening frocks for evening wear do not give our shoes the prominence they merit, but Cinderella would find it difficult to make any sensation in a modern ballroom, I am, sure, with nothing more remarkable than crystal slippers, for footwear is most dainty and artistic and individual, no two pairs being alike. The distinctive extravagance of the season is the slipper of gold or silver tissue discreetly veiled with red lace—Brussels over gold, black chantilly over silver, the lace itself being frequently embroidered with beads. EANS FOR THE BRIDE A bride does not carry a fan to one altar, but if the wedding takes place in warm weather, there should be awaiting her at the scene of the marriage breakfast or reception, an alt white fan of hand-carved ivory or celluloid, or of mother-of-pearl having a hand-embroidered white silk spread. For other occasions, she will need, not only this fan, but several others. One of these might be of bamboo, having outside sticks that are lacquered and inlaid and a spread of hand-embroidered or beaded colored satin, another might be of hand-carved sandalwood, mounted with Chinese embroidery and a third of colored gauze, heavily spangled and mounted over the slenderest of silver-coated wood sticks. Any sort of pretty fan is a nice present to send to a bride, especially if she is of the class likely to receive gifts of the practical workaday sort. A Poor Choice.

CAP and BELLS ANSWER FOR A NERVOUS MAN *Tinds Out What Was Turned In at Lost Department of Railroad— Probably Not His.* A tall, nervous-looking man entered the department in the railroad station where lost articles are kept. "Anything turned in here today?" he shouted to the man at the desk. There was no reply. "I say, has anything been turned in here today?" he repeated in a louder tone of voice. "Yes, sir," calmly replied the man at the desk, without raising his eyes. "Well, why couldn't you say so? I've lost an umbrella." "I heard you, sir." "You heard me? Well, why can't you tell me what was turned in?" "Well, sir, a man was in here this morning who turned his toes in. They wouldn't happen to be yours, sir, would they?" Not to Be Thought Of "No, I cannot consent to be your wife. I have been told that you are intemperate." "Darling, if you will be mine, I'll promise never to drink another drop as long as I live."

EFFECT PRECEDES THE CAUSE Clever Edinburgh Clergyman Meets His Match in Examining Student on Classes Attended. The Rev. Dr. Ritchie, of Edinburgh, although a very clever man, once met his match. When examining a student as to the classes he attended he said: "I understand you attend the class for mathematics." "Yes." "How many sides has a circle?" "Two," said the student. "Indeed! What are they?" What a laugh in the court the student's answer produced when he said, promptly: "An inside and an outside." The doctor next asked: "And you attend the moral philosophy class also?" "Yes." "Well, you doubtless heard lectures on various subjects. Did you ever hear one on cause and effect?" "Yes." "Does an effect ever go before a cause?" "Yes." "Give me an instance."

STATE To Dry Lace Curtains Housekeepers who possess quilting frames but not curtain stretchers will find the former an excellent substitute for the stretchers in drying their lace curtains of various sizes. The frames with clamps can be made to fit any curtains if not too long, in which case they may be turned back. Pin the curtains along the sides, then fit the frames, not pulling the lace too much. The next curtains may be "hooked" on the same pins. After three curtains are on it is well to put on the next with more pins. As many as six large curtains may be dried at one time in this way. Preposterous. She took her father's last summer suit, cut off one of the legs of the trousers, and thus provided herself with a skirt.
