THIRTIETH YEAR. NO. 8
THIRTIETH YEAR
BORDER IS CROSSED
MEXICAN TROOPS, 1,200 STRONG,
PASS THROUGH UNITED
STATES TERRITORY.
SEEK TO INTERCEPT REBELS
Washington Officials Keep Route Secret—Soldiers Will Convoy Arms and Ammunition to Americans Employed in the Cananea Mines.
Washington, Sept. 12.—To intercept and dispel the bands of rebels gathering along the northern boundary of Mexico, especially in the state of Sonora, under the leadership of General Salazar, and threatening American property, a detachment of 1,200 Mexican federal troops were rushed across American territory Tuesday.
War department and state department officials are keeping the route of the Mexican federal secret at the request of the Mexican government. Most of the federal troops massed at Juarez, Tex., and shipped by train to some point near Nogales, where they will be within striking distance of the Cananea district.
Reports reached the war department that the rebels were gathering in force in the vicinity of Cananea. They seemed to be preparing for a long march, as horses, supplies, ammunition and dynamite were being concentrated. General Salazar is encamped at Gahalones.
The determination of the Mexican government to drive the rebels out of the Cananea district is in compliance with the request of this government, following demands for protection from the managers of the 150 mining properties in that section. The state department has at Douglas or Naco 1,000 rifles and 200,000 rounds of ammunition for shipment to the Americans employed in the Cananea mines for use in resisting the raids of the rebels. It is necessary that there shall be a safe convoy of federal troops to get the rifles to the Americans. For this reason the Mexican troops are being rushed into Sonora.
Describing the fight at Ojinago, Captain Adams, stationed at Presidio, reported through General Steever to the war department, that the rebels numbered nearly three hundred men and that the fight ended about 6:30 o'clock in the evening. The federals lost four killed and five horses. The mayor of Ojinago crossed the river and informed the American commander that the federals could easily hold the town.
UNREST IN CANTON AT END
Many Offers of Loans Are Made by Foreign Bankers—Americans Get Preference.
Canton, China, Sept. 11.—No executions of political offenders have taken place in the last two weeks and people believe that Canton is in a normal condition. The policy of the local government to use the proceeds from foreign loans solely for industrial development and internal improvement and for no other purposes has attracted the attention of European bankers. Many agents are approaching the authorities with offers of loans on extremely favorable conditions.
To avoid possible interference in their government and politics, which, it is feared, might result from European loans, the Cantoneses give preference to American over other financial assistance.
INDICTED FOR VOTE FRAUD
Twelve Named in True Bills After Probe of the Georgia Primary.
Madison, Ga., Sept. 11.—Indications charging twelve men with buying and selling votes in the recent Democratic county primary have been returned by the Morgan county grand jury and many additional indictments on the same charges are expected before the jury formally adjourns. The indictments resulted from an investigation, following charges by defeated candidates that successful contestants pooled their finances and bought votes throughout the county.
SPARKS FROM THE WIRE
Topeka, Kan., Sept. 9.—More than four thousand horses have died in western Kansas since a mysterious disease broke out in that section of the state.
Dawson, Y. T., Sept. 12.—The international boundary survey party which has been marking the line between Alaska and Yukon territory arrived Tuesday, having surveyed the 142d meridian from the Pacific to the Arctic.
Yonkers, N. Y. Sept. 10.—Oscar Straus, the Progressive nominee for governor, was deluged Sunday with messages of congratulation at his home in Tarrytown, receiving fully 1,000 telegrams from over the country.
First Fatality in Strike.
Charleston, W. Va., Sept. 11.—According to a report received here Monday, Artificer George Long, Company B, shot and killed one of an attacking party, while on picket duty near Sharon in the Kanawha goal field.
PAUL PECK AND HIS BIPLAN
ARE HURLED TO EARTH.
Aviator's Flying Machine Is Caught by a Sharp Gust of Wind When About 200 Feet From Ground.
Chicago, Ill.—Caught by a sharp gust of wind when about 200 feet from the ground, Aviator Paul Peck of Washington, D. C., and his Columbia biplane were hurled to the ground at Cicero dying field and the brilliant young birdman was so terribly crushed that he died at St. Anthony Depadua hospital. He was descending from his last contemplated flight of the day in the biplane which he personally developed and which was expected to perform wonders in the aviation meet. Twice during the afternoon he had made brilliant flights. On his last flight he had ascended to a height of about 900 feet and with the eyes of 1,000 spectators fixed upon him, began his descent. He descended in long, sweeping spirals until he was scarcely 200 feet from the ground. Suddenly something went wrong and from the long, bird-like swoop the biplane suddenly swerved, quivered and then tipped sharply downward. Peck struggled with his controls and for an instant appeared to have regained the mastery of the air but an instant later the machine again dipped and as the spectators groomed in horror as biplane and aviator dropped like a plummet.
Paul Peck was born in Washington about 25 years ago. He learned to fly at the army aviation field, College park, Md., not more than two years ago and was recognized as an expert. He had no serious accidents while in this section, although he broke his arm while cranking the motor of his machine last fall. Before his wife died last March she begged him to give up flying, predicating that he would meet with a aad end. Last April he got permission from Postmaster General Hitchcock to carry mail from Mineola to a small postoffice in Long Island. He also contemplated carrying a bag of mail from New York to Washington and got Hitchcock's sanction. The engine on his airplane failed to work just as he was about to start from New York and the trip was abandoned. He was government observer at the Los Angeles aviation meet in January, 1910, and made experiments in bomb dropping. He also made a number of wireless aeroplane tests in San Francisco.
Peck was American licensed aviator No. 57.
Binghamton, N. Y.-William Chambers, an aviator from Mineola, N. Y., is dead at Greene, N. Y. following injuries received in a fall with his aeroplane at the Chenango county fair. Dresden, Saxony.-Lieutenants Zimmerman and Siebert, members of the aerial corps of the Red Army in the maneuvers going on here fell in their aeroplane while scouting. Lieutenant Siebert died later. Athens, Greece.-Aviator Karanenlakis fell from his monoplane while flying over the sea near Patras and was drowned. Karanenlakis was the leading aviator in Greece.
BOYS OF '61 AGAIN MARCH
Over 8,000 Veterans of the Civil War in Grand Parade at Los Angeles, Cal.
Los Angeles, Cal.-The Grand Army of the Republic has the same old spirit still. It is undaunted though it limpa in spots. In the grand parade of the forty-sixth national annual encampment, 8,500 old soldiers, the heroic remnants of the republic's grand army of 61-65, marched on September 12 along the streets of Los Angeles in an inspiring way and flecked the weight of time from their shoulders as though it were a bit of dust.
That is, most of them did, but not all. Here and there one would give up on the final grade from First street to Temple—the finish of the two-mile march—with strength about gone, face ghastly and legs tottering. They "heapped" along in columns that would have pleased the eye of a drill sergeant and the old boys seemed to be marching not in Los Angeles and in the year 1912, but rather in the heroic time of Gettysburg, Shiloh, the Wilderness, Antiemt or other of the immortal series which they vividly recalled.
The streets which framed the picture were so thickly overhung with colors as to form almost a ceiling. The "mural" decorations were the people of Los Angeles, more than 300,000. Women and girls strewed flowers before the old soldiers along the line of march.
When it was finished, Commander-in-chief Harvey M. Trimble exclaimed: "It is the greatest parade ever held by the Grand Army. Perhaps it is the last, for such processions are a great strain on the fast ebbing strength of the veterans."
Connecticut Republicans Nominate. Hartford, Conn.—J. P. Strudley was nominated on the third ballot for governor by the Republican state convention here. There were four candidates, including Lieutenant Governor Blakesley. Senator Peck of Danbury was nominated for lieutenant governor; G. B. Carlson of Middletown for secretary of state and Walter Holmes of Waterbury for treasurer.
Warm endorsement of the Taft administration was a feature of the platform adopted by the convention.

G. O. P. WINS IN MAINE
HAINES IS SUCCESSFUL IN ELEC-
TION OVER PLASTED.
Gain of One Congressman Is Made by Republicans—Hinds Makes Gains.
Portland, Me., Sept. 12.—The political overturn in the Maine state election, in which the Republicans won back the governorship and got three of the four congressmen and a sufficient majority on a joint ballot in the legislature to assure the election of a Republican United States senator, became more apparent Tuesday with revised and additional returns.
William T. Haines of Waterville (Rep.) was elected governor by a plurality of 3,557 over Gov. Frederick W. Plaisted, Democratic candidate, of Augusta. The vote, with 28 towns missing, was: Haines (Rep.), 70,972; Plaisted (Dem.), 66,515. Two years ago the vote for governor was: Bert M. Fernald (Rep.), 64,472; F. W. Plaisted (Dem.), 73,425. The missing towns two years ago cast 751 votes for the Republican candidate and 846 for the Democratic leader.
Congressman Asher C. Hinda, First district, and Frank K. Guernsey, Fourth district, Republicans, were re-elected by increased majorities, and Forrest Goodwin (Rep.), supplanted Congressman Samuel W. Gould (Dem.), in the Third district. The Democratic candidate in the Second district, Congressman D. J. McGillicuddy, was re-elected.
The new legislature will stand on a joint ballot 94 Republicans and 78 Democrats, with ten districts yet to report. The state senate will be made up of 22 Republicans and eight Democrats, with one district missing. The house will be composed of 72 Republicans and 70 Democrats with nine districts missing. This majority will be sufficient to elect Former Congressman Edwin C. Burleigh of Augusta as United States senator to succeed Obadiah Gardner, who was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator William P. Frye (Rep.).
SIX KILLED. 22 ARE INJURED
"Eddie" Hasha, National Champion Motorcyclist, and Johnny Albright Crushed While Racing.
Newark, N. J., Sept. 10. - While several thousand persons assembled at the Vailburg motordrome here Sunday were wildly cheering on Eddie Hasha, the champion motorcycle rider of the world, and Johnny Albright of Denver, who were competing in the principal event of the day. Hasha suddenly lost control of his machine and crashed over the top of the sancer track into the grand stand, followed closely by Albright. Both were killed, as were four spectators. Twenty-two of the onlookers were injured, six of whom are in a hospital in a critical condition.
Hasha met death instantly. Albright was crushed so badly that he never regained consciousness, and died in a hospital here shortly afterward.
BRYAN HELPS GOV. WILSON

New York, Sept. 9. -With William J. Bryan as chairman, a committee has been formed, composed partly of Oscar W. Underwood, Champ Clark, Eugene N. Poss, John W. Kern and Simeon E. Baldwin, all except the chairman having been candidates for the presidential nomination at Baltimore, to act in an advisory capacity to the national committee. Acceptances were received by telegraph at the national Democratic headquarters here. John Burke, governor of North Dakota, is also on the committee. One or more additional members from each state were also appointed on the advisory committee, among them is one woman, Mrs. E. J. Walsh of Tacoma, Wash.
CALL CARNEGIE TO TESTIFY
U. 8. Inquisitoris Plan to Resume Test timony in Pittsburg Earl Next Month.
Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 11.—Investigation by the federal government of the United States Steel corporation, hearings of which have been held in New York and Trenton, N. J., is expected to resume in this city about October 1. It is said there is a probability of Andrew Carnegie testifying here.
The hearing has nothing to do with the Stanley investigation. It is a result of the equity suit entered against the corporation by the government in New Jersey and has for its basis the dissolution of the steel corporation.
Prominent Illinoisan's Wife Slain.
Terre Haute, Ind., Sept. 12—Harry N. Taylor, president of the Illinois Coal Operators' association and president of the Monon Coal Co., was injured and wife killed in an automobile accident in Canada Tuesday.
Canada's Wheat Yield Big.
Regina, Snak, Sept. 12.—The estimate of the provincial department of agriculture of the 1912 crop, based on reports received from 1,800 correspondents, indicates a yield of all grains of 283.866.551 bushels.

Fight Infantile Paralysis.
Washington, D. C.—A total of 282 cases of infantile paralysis have been reported from Buffalo to Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the public health service. Dr. Blue has sent two experts to Buffalo to assist in dealing with the epileptic and to study the disease.
Infantile paralysis, although its death rate is not high, is feared because in a high percentage of cases it leaves the child crippled for life.
Dr. Blue received reports of a similar epidemic in Los Angeles.
SENORA PEZET, WIFE
OF PERUVIAN MINISTER
on Pera and its son have received a coural welcome on their second coming to Washington. Mr. Perez was first secretary of the Peruvian legation for five years and left Washington in 1900 to become minister to the republic of Central America. He did not sever his ties of friendship but through all these
a counsel welcomes on their second coming to Washington. Mr. Pezet was first secretary of the Peruvian legation for five years and left Washington in 1900 to become minister to the republic of Central America. He did not sever his ties of friendship but through all these years has kept up a brisk correspondence with many Washingtonians. When his only son, George Washington Pezet, because he was born on February 22, and because his parents are servant admirers of the great neighbor to the north and its founder, was of college age he was placed at Harvard, where two years ago he graduated with high honors. Young Mr. Pezet has since resided in Boston intending to take up literature as a profession
"I return to Washington," remarked Senora Pezet. "as one comes back to a dearly loved spot filled with pleasant memories. I find the city changed but not sufficiently so to make me feel strange except in a few locations. In a way I feel as though I left only a few months ago and I take up the thread of affairs with zeal and energy engendered by a complete rest. My home city is Lima, one of the oldest cities of the New World and one of the most fascinating. Less than fifty years after Columbus discovered this vast empire for Spain, the first stone of the Cathedral of Lima was laid by Pizarro, in January, 1535."
Senor and Senora Pezet two years ago celebrated the silver anniversary of their wedding, but to see the senora suggests that she has discovered Ponce de Leon's spring of eternal youth. Being a perfect blonde, with deep blue eyes and fair skin, an unusual type for a Spanish-American, though often seen in Spain, she looks as though she were entering her twenties.
Senor Pezet is the daughter of the late Jose Maria Corbacho of Lima, a prominent citizen and one who held many offices of trust. She bears the pretty name of Coraline, shortened into Cora. She was educated at home by governesses after the way of the Latins, who never send their children away from home until they are well grown and her marriage to the minister, who was the son of a neighbor, occurred before she reached the dignity of attending a boarding school. She spent a few months, however, with the madams of the Sacred Heart and since coming to this country, she frequently visits establishments of that order near Philadelphia and New York.
Senor and Senora Pezet have fond hopes of their son, George Washington Pezet, who has already developed a remarkable talent for the drama. He writes entirely in English. He is a tall, slender boy bearing a marked resemblance to his mother.
SECRETARY NAGEL SAYS
$25 A WEEK IS ENOUGH
Is $25 a week enough to cloth, feed and house three adults?
Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel was called upon the other day to decide this question. He decided it in the affirmative. In Secretary Nagel's opinion $25 a week is sufficient to keep a family of five or six.
V.
Mary Fleming, 56 years old, and her sister Ceci
lia, 58 years old, arrived in New York a few days ago from Dublin, Ireland. They had never before been to the United States. When examined by immigration inspectors at Ellis Island they said they had $115 between them, but that they were going to be cared for by their nephew, John Francis Byrne, a New York newspaper reporter. This did not satisfy Acting Commissioner Uhl, and he questioned Mr. Byrne. Mr. Byrne said the two malen aunts had been the same as parents to him when he was small and that he was anxious to care for them and that he had sent to Ireland for them. He said he received $25 a week as a reporter and thought that sufficient to support himself and his aunts.
Commissioner Uhl reported to Secretary Nagel that while the aunts were very nice ladies and apparently healthy, he did not think Byrne could support them on $25 a week.
Secretary Nagel ruled that Byrne could support them, and instructed Commissioner Uhl to admit the two aunts.
As to School Holidays:
"In Rome, in the time of the Republic, 64 days in every year were devoted to public festivals recognized by law. The American republic has not reached such a number of holidays, but its schools surpassed it long ago," says the current report of the United States Bureau of Education. The document points out, however, that there is now a wholesome trend away from the custom of granting an overabundance of school holidays.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
One of the most interesting of the delegations that attended the International Conference on the Negro at Tuskegee Institute, April last, was that from the Barbados, West Indies, consisting of Washington Harper, A. Awle Parkinson, and E. Ellott Durant. On their return to the Barbados, at a large and enthusiastic public meeting, they submitted a comprehensive report of their trip to Tuskegee Institute. The report was taken up mainly with a description of the work of the departments of the institution. All the Barbados papers gave extended notice concerning the meeting and the report of the delegation. The following account is taken from the Barbados Standard, Bridgetown:
A large and enthusiastic public meeting was held at the Carnegie Hall to receive the report of the delegates who represented this island at the recent conference at Tuskegee. The chair was filled by Mr. D. A. Wiles, and among other prominent persons present were Sir Frederick Clarke, K. C. M. G., and Lady Clarke, who both took much interest in the proceedings. After the report containing valuable information collected by the delegates in connection with industrial education during their visit to America had been read and received with manifest appreciation, several resolutions were moved, and some very interesting addresses given. The objects of the resolutions were (1) to accord a hearty welcome to the delegates on their return to the island—moved by Mr. H. F. Taltt, seconded by Mr. Ormond Murray; (2) to express the hope that the general community would benefit by the information brought back by the delegates,—moved by Mr. W. Brandford, seconded by Mr. W. S. Marston; (3) to express confidence in the government and legislature of this island that they would afford means of industrial education to the people—moved by Mr. A. W. Ford; (4) to express the gratitude of the community to Dr. Booker T. Washington and his staff for their kindness. In generously supplying information and otherwise assisting the Barbados delegates to achieve success in their mission to Tuskegee, also suggesting that a visit of Dr. Washington and his wife to these hospitals would be useful in appreciation, and pledging the necessary funds by popular subscription for their entertainment,—moved by Mr. C. P. Clarke, solicitor general, and seconded by Mr. C. L. Elder; (5) to thank the various principals and their assistants at Tuskegee, and also Dr. S. Jones and other citizens of New York and Brooklyn, for the valuable help given by them which enabled the delegates to carry out their task,—moved by Mr. V. B. C. Hart, seconded by Mr. Estwick; (6) to express the thanks of the meeting to all those persons who so generously subscribed the requisite funds to send the delegates to Tuskegee—moved by Mr. H. W. Lofty, M. C. P., seconded by Rev. J. R. Nichols, acting inspector of schools; and (7) to propose that a copy of the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to the government, assuring them at the same time of the willingness of the delegates to disseminate among the children attending the public schools the information and knowledge gained during their visit to America,—moved by Mr. J. S. Maughan, seconded by Mr. Brandford. These resolutions were all unanimously adopted.
At the conclusion an exceedingly interesting address was given by Mr. Washington Harper, one of the delegates on their visit to Tuskegee.
The sixteenth annual Hampton negro conference dealt with the following vital subjects: Work of Industrial Supervisors in Virginia; Progress in Rural Schools; Negroes and the Census of 1910: White and Colored Death Rates; Negro Population and Illiteracy; Negroes in Virginia; Organization Work among Virginia Negroes; Management of Boarding Departments; Raising Money for Cultivation of Corn; Public Health; Minister and Community; Recreation and Amusement; Movement of Negroes to the Cities.
There are now seventeen colored teachers at work in eighteen counties of Virginia, under the direction of Hampton institute, trying to secure the more complete co-operation of parents, ministers, and teachers in improving school life. These workers are carrying on school demonstration work, which is giving new life and fresh hope to many neglected country districts.

The colored citizens of Nashville, Tenn., have a park for their exclusive use which is said to be the first of its kind in the United States. It is called Hadley park and was formally dedicated by the board of park commissioners several days ago. Among those present were Mayor Hillary E. Howse and Major McWhirter, chairman of the board of park commissioners. Dr. R. F. Boyd made the speech of acceptance on behalf of the negro citizens, Benjamin F. Carr presided.
Mayor Howse paid a high tribute to the park commissioners, and during his address was interrupted on several occasions by the aplause of the negro citizens.
"I'll declare," he exclaimed, "no city in the country has the colored population that Nashville has. There is a great future for us here, and it makes no difference, in the great struggle now impending, who is elected president of the country, we people here in this section, black and white alike, will go on building up this section, our state and the nation. White people and black people here in the south will work side by side. We cannot get along without you, and you cannot get along without us.
"As chief executive of the city of Nashville, I take great pleasure in extending to you, my colored fellow citizens, this park, the only one of its kind in the United States dedicated to the colored people."
In his address Major M'Whirter said:
"I know of no city that has shown greater consideration for your race in the matter of parks than ours in securing this valuable property, situated as it is, immediately between and approximate to two of the most prominent negro schools in our Southland. Much will depend on your behavior while visiting the park and with that as the standard you will be judged. It is not difficult to conduct yourselves in such a way as to command respect—and I wish a larger number of young negroes were here to hear this—but it is quite easy for some to bring derision on thousands, and while doing this, they have very little consideration for those who have a larger degree of self-respect."
In his speech of acceptance Dr. Boyd said in part:
"Our gateful thanks go out to Mayor Howse for the broad and liberal spirit which he has manifested in co-operating with you in securing this site for our park. We know something of the opposition you have met and overcome. We are thankful to the press of the city and the hundreds of friends who have indorsed the movement.

"We who are born and reared in the Southland know that the best class of white citizens are, our friends, and we are going to live here in this civilization with prayer and hope. We were born here, and we will live and die here.
"We want to assure you and reassure you of the gratitude of my race. We are interested in every movement for the betterment of Nashville, for the whole people of Nashville. You can rely upon us to make Hadley park all that it should be as a moral force in the life of our people. You may rest assured that our people will support you in carrying out any regulations you may adopt for the management of this park to the end that it will be a safe place for our boys and girls."

Gibson intends to adhere to the decision of the state athletic commission to bar Johnson from fighting a white man in New York, and for that reason Billy has secured Jeanette's name to articles calling for a match with Johnson. The entire affair is now up to the champion.

to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902
THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper In the interest of Afro-Americans, published In the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country.
The death of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, of London, England, is a distinct loss to the musical world and a greater loss to our people of the world.
The West Virginia mob that lynched the wrong Afro-American last week is only one of many the south will be called upon to answer for before the Great Judge of us all.
The recent action of the National Bar Association which enables it to exclude all future Afro-American applicants for membership in the organization, is discreditable in the extreme, and will be held so, generally, abroad, and by all fair-minded persons in this country.
Elsewhere in The Gazette, today, we are, re-publishing a communication, headed "Negroes and the Canal," from the Chicago Tribune of Sept. 9, 1912, which is of great interest to our people generally, the country over, and a terrific indictment of the Taft administration—if true. The charge is a serious one, particularly at this time, and it is up to Recorder of Deeds H. L. Johnson, Register of the Treasury J. C. Napier and other leading Afro-American federal office holders at Washington, D. C.; to refute it, or admit the correctness of the same by falling to do so. Speak up, gentlemen, and promptly, too. What about Mr. Shaughnessey's Panama Canal charge?
ROOSEVELT, HIS PARTY AND THE
NEFBO
Miss Alice Carpenter of Brookline, Mass., who claims to "come from abolitionist stock," who was a member of the committee on resolutions at the national convention of the Progressive Party at Chicago last month, and who was made a member of the provisional New York state committee, says she was, originally, much opposed to the barring of the southern Negro delegates from the national convention of the Progressive Party, but that she is now convinced that Col. Roosevelt was right that "at present the Negro is simply a bluffer between the two parties, and that his condition can only be improved by a new party formed without him."
We commend this to the thoughtful consideration of those of the race who are trying to support the Roosevelt candidacy for the presidency, or are trying to find some good excuse to do so. The Brownsville (Tex.) "lynch-murder" of "The Black Batlarion" and the subsequent persecution of those 167 innocent saviors of the Colonel and his "Rough Riders" when in Cuba during the Spanish-American war, does not seem to be enough for them. They would rush in where they are not wanted as full-fledged Aemrican citizens and thrust their unwelcome presence upon the Colonel and his "party," the southern portion of which is made up, almost entirely of former "illy-white Republics."
AS TO PROPOSAL NO. 24.
Last week, dispatches to the local daily newspapers from Columbus, and anounced that the indications were that Proposal No. 24 (to eliminate the word "white" from the suffrage clause of the state constitution)) among others, had been adopted by the voters of the state at the special election held Sept. 3, 1912. Early this week, announcements to the contrary, from the same source, were made, until on Wednesday morning, Sept. 11, 1912, the returns from 79 counties showed that 220,210 persons voted for the proposal, and 242,865 had voted against it. Nine counties had not reported on the election of more than a week ago. They were: Ashland, Dehance, Lorain, Mahoning, Mercer, Muskingum, Paulding, Trumbull and Union counties. At that time, Wednesday morning, Sept. 11, 1912, unofficial figures showed that Muskingum, Paulding and Union counties had voted against all proposals except licence, while others had voted majorities for the principle constitution amendment proposals. Judging the returns from the delinquent nine counties on a basis of those from the 79 counties, Proposal No. 24 will be defeated by from 25,000 to 30,000 votes—just about the number of Afro-American voters in the state of Ohio who failed to do their plain duty and cast their ballots at the polls on Sept. 3, 1912.
Nearly all of last year, and again this year up to the day of the election, The Gazette endeavored, unceasingly, to awaken them to a proper sense of responsibility in this matter, not only to themselves but also to others of the race in the state and those who will come after us. The response upon the part of many, here in Cleveland, was encouraging, but the results show, unquestionably, that the great majority of the Afro-American voters in this state were, as usual, blind and indifferent to their vital interests, still reposing a silly and unjustified confidence "in the white peo-
ple," more than 250,000 of whom voted on Sept. 3, 1912, against the elimination of the word "white" from the suffrage clause of the state constitution, and defeated Proposal No. 24. Not only will the word "white" be in that clause, but also in the military clause as well. Any time it may suit the fancy of prejudiced whites of Ohio, not only to distranchise Afro-American voters in state elections but also to, exclude them from participating in the militia of the state, they will be able to do so, and promptly, too. For this sad condition of affairs our people, in this state, have only to thank their lack of interest in their own vital affairs. The only consolation The Gazette has, is that it did all its in power, constantly, for more than a year and a half to arouse them—but in vain, it seems.
COLUMBUS "JIM CROW."
From the grand old state of Ohio and the city of Columbus comes the authentic report that Negroes had the audacity to ask for a separate day during the week of Columbus' 100th birthday anniversary. This is indeed surprising to learn that Columbus with all of its intelligent Colored men and women who advocate equal rights and who are at liberty to attend all public institutions, would ask for and "celebrate" a "jim crow" day in the city's celebration. It was an occasion for the people were asked to join in commemorating the founders of the city and its wonderful progress. No discrimination was made when the city urged all to "make merry" the week, by witnessing everything prepared for the occasion. But it was left to a few Negroes to make a cry for a separate ay. Why so? Why is it that Negroes are always in the limelight, asking for separation in public affairs is past our understanding. Why then not ask for separate street cars and separate schools? We don't believe that the rank and file should have such separation and neither do the white people. Too often a few "would be leaders" imagining they are doing the race good by clamoring for public separation, bring harm and shame upon the race. Let us hope that the people in all sections of the north will not stand for separation in any public affair or institution but take part, and insist upon this, as men and women and not as a separate race. Let the better-thinking class of our society not have to have the repetition and we will not have a repetition of the unfortunate affair at Columbus.Equal rights to all and no separation should be the slogan.—Chicago (III). Defender.
Right you are, contre, and none of our people ought to be able to better understand your line of reasoning, in this matter, than our intelligent people of Columbus. For several years they have been fighting segregation in the public schools of that city, and ought to know well what a miserable and dangerous precedent they are establishing when they make such an inexcusable and harmful blunder. It was Chicago's "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. that gave such impetus to the demand of wealthy Hyde Park and other residents of the "Windy City," for separate or "jim crow" schools there. Columbus, already has one "public" school to which all of its Colored teachers were sent in recent years, and which is attended by Colored children only.
These days, the "jim crow" Negro is the bane of the race—really more active and harmful than the prejudiced whites who as a rule "use" them. For a little cheap notoriety, or for a little money, or to toady to white men (as a rule), they will "saddle" almost anything upon a race that is now almost "broken-backed," bending and toterting with its awful load. Here in Cleveland, we have a park, the management of which has barred Negroes from its dance hall, skating rink and swimming pool. In the face of all this, Negroes went there to "celebrate" on August 1—"jim crow" day, if it was—and on the £3d of this month the Caterers' Association (Negroes), will hold their annual clam-bake at this same park. It looks as if some members of the race cannot be treated mean and bad enough by prejudiced whites, to keep them (the Negroes), from filling their (the whites) pockets with hard-earned money for public insulting and degrading them (the Negroes) by denials of their citizen rights in public places. Good Lord! Have mercy!
Again, we call on all self and race respecting members of the race, in this community, who have sufficient manhood and womanhood to resent the miserable, insulting and degrading color line treatment accorded our people at Luna Park, to stay away from the place.
A few good suits under our Ohio Civil Rights' law, will put a stop to such discrimination in all such public places in this city and county.
The editor of the Defender is entirely correct when he warns our "better-thinking class of people" to be "more vigilant" and more active in heading off and thwarting the attempts of the "jim crow" Negro toady, or to make money, or to "bask in the limelight," at the expense of the rights and privileges of all the members of the race in his community.
Those. Columbus and Cleveland "jim crow" days and Chicago's "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. were alike harming and even more dangerous precedents.
Let us have no more of them.

Said Miss Jane Addams of Chicago recently: "Some of us are much disturbed that this Progressive party which stands for human rights should even appear not to stand for the rights of the Negroes. It seems to us to be inconsistent when on one page of our newspapers we find that the rights of the Negroes are man and the working woman, and to protect the rights of the children, and to prevent usurpation of voters' rights by special interests, and on the next we find that it denies the right of the Negro to take part in this movement.

NEGROES AND THE CANAL
A Terrific Indictment of the Taft Administration, if True.
Culebra, Canal Zone, Aug. 22-12. (Editor Chicago Daily Tribune.) It is amusing to note the appeal of President Taft for the Negro vote. The Negroes who are affiliating with him are completely ignorant of the measures that Taft has indorsed to deprive them of a just share of recognition in the work conducted by the government. The Negroes may investigate the actions of the Negroes to dig the canal. Men are employed from nearly every country on the globe, but the line is tightly drawn against the American Negro. None are allowed to work on the canal, in spite of the fact that they are contributing their share of funds for its construction. The employment bureau of the isthman canal commission at Washington may be able to explain the reasons for the lack of employment. There are hundreds of good positions down here that should be filled by the American Negro, which are now held by aliens who have never been in the United States, and further, who have no intention of going there. The police force is made up of ex-soliders and ex-sailors (white) of the United States and West Indian Negroes, the latter receiving less than one-half the pay received by the white policemen, not only because Negro soldiers on allys is given no recognition whatever, and would not be given a position it be applied for it. Ask Mr. Taft did he approve of the line being drawn against the American Negro on the Panama canal.

‘creator of poverty, and the doers of
‘the wrong—but not the person suffer-

to say that we thought every mem:

Say vet is that if the exSenator had
ited Col, Roosevelt leas, his. defense
of the Cored soldiers could be re-
sarded purely and simply as a plea
or them. Under the elreumstances
we are sure that even The Gazette
must admit that ere were motives
other than a defense of the race. If

ator Tillman down, too, as @ defender
Of the race —-an absurd thing, —Co-
imbia (8. C.) tndicator.
‘The Gazette did not “miss the
yeint altogether,” or otherwise, but
iit the nail squarely on the head.”
Our contrere was wrong in his orig:
inal er first statement, anent. the Sen-
tor, und Is as wrong in his latest.
Senator Foraker did NOT hate Roose-
‘elf, and his defense of “The Black
Pattalion” WAS “a plea for them,

fan bis grand fight for our outraged
oldiers, he and Mrs. Foraker were

This, he told the writer shortly att

at the President's strenuous oppost:

Vlack Battalion" on the part of the
United States Senate or the Congress,
saying that he (the. Senator). could
not understand the President (in that
most important matter) or his mo

later, that Roosevelt beggn his mis-
erable criticism of the Senator's ef

motive that prompted Senator Joseph

our esteemed confrere of the Colum-
