THE GAZETTE ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, SOME REASONS WHY ACHIEVEMENTS FOR WHICH MR. TAFT DESERVES TO BE GIVEN ANOTHER TERM. GOOD THINGS HE HAS DONE Consistently Has Carried Out Policies of His Predecessor and Has Shown Himself to Be a Statesman of Rare Constructive Ability. Here are twenty reasons why William Howard Taft should be given another term as president: 1. Because he has been and is consistently carrying out the policies of his predecessor. 2. Because he, as president, has continued the great constructive work begun by him as governor general of the Philippines. 3. Because under his administration progress in an economical, business-like and expeditious manner has been and is being made toward the completion of that great American enterprise, the Panama canal. 4. Because his administration has promoted the public safety and welfare, notably in the vigorous enforcement of the pure food and similar laws. 5. Because his administration has accomplished much in the way of labor legislation for the safety, protection and well-being of the working people, as evidenced by the employees' liability others. 6. Because he has, in recommending the establishment of a federal industrial commission, inaugurated a movement looking toward the solution of the complex problems arising out of the relations of capital and labor. 7. Because his administration in the establishment of the postal savings banks and in recommending the parcels post, is using governmental agencies in the interest of the people. 8. Because in the creation of a tariff board he has initiated the first efficient means of intelligently revising tariff schedules. 9. Because, in recommending legislation defining the rights and duties of corporations, under the Sherman law and proposing the formation of a federal commission controlling interstate corporations, he is earnestly seeking for a correct solution of problems vitally affecting the business interests of the country. 10. Because steps have been taken in approving the report and recommendations of the monetary commission toward the prevention of panics. 11. Because under his administration justice has been and is being secured to both shippers and the railroads through the establishment of the commerce court. 12. Because, in the successful prosecutions of the Standard Oil company and the American Tobacco company and the enactment of the corporation tax law, his administration has accomplished much for the effective supervision and control of corporations. 13. Because he has enforced the criminal laws equally and impartially against all offenders, whether corporations, bankers or dynamiters. 14. Because he is the sincere advocate of the conservation of national resources. 15. Because, while advocating reforms in the procedure, he has always stood for the integrity of the courts. 16. Because his administration has brought about economy and efficiency in all departments of the government. 17. Because he has shown and is showing himself to be the true friend of civil service by this recent recommendation that it be extended to first and second class postmasters and others. 18. Because under his administration there has been enacted a campaign contribution publicity law. 19. Because of his long line of achievements in the field of foreign affairs. 20. Because, finally, these and other accomplishments demonstrate that the president is a stateman of rare constructive ability, and with the added experience gained during the years of his first term will, if given a second term, succeed in bringing about greater good for the country. Fit to Succeed Himself. Those who know William Howard Tact, personally require no printed evidence to the effect that he is eminently fit to succeed himself as president of the United States. They know how tireless he is in the performance of any duty, how careful he is to make his deed square with his word, how punctilious he is to keep any pledge he has made, with what complete four-square courage he stands for the things that he believes to be right. never thinking to ask whether they are popular; with what breadth of statemanship he meets great national emergencies and with what perfect patriotism he exercises the functions of his great office. In Good Company. In the history of the wise and bene- cent movement for genuine civil service reform Mr. Taft's name will be imperishably linked with those of John Quincy Adams, Thomas A. Jenkee of Rhode Island, George William Cur- tis, George H. Pendleton and a host of New Englanders, some of them dis- tinguished in public affairs, others modest and workers in a cause that long brought ridicule and obloquy upon all its advocates. A SHORT CUT REPUBLICAN PARTY THE PARTY OF PROGRESS THIRD PARTY TO PRIVATE LIFE BALTIMORE AMERICAN --- --- HE HAS MADE GOOD HE HAS MADE GOOD TAFT HAS REDEEMED PLEDGES MADE BY REPUBLICAN PARTY TO THE PEOPLE. WHAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED President's Effective Work, His High Character and His Great Administrative Ability Command Him to the Voters of the United States. In the language of the times, President Taft has made good. The fact can be demonstrated first of all by taking up one by one the pledges of the platform of the convention which first nominated Mr. Taft and observing whether or not they have been fulfilled. It was upon the pledges of that platform that certain definite results would be accomplished, that the Republican party went before the country in 1908 and received its overwhelming indorsement. In the hands of the president more than of any other one man has lain the performance of those pledges. And if they have been met, then to him must go the Lion's share of the credit. The platform promised tariff revision at a special session of congress immediately following the inauguration of the president. That pledge was kept. The tariff was revised, as promised, in the interest of the people. That revision did not close a single American factory or reduce the wages of any American workingman, and in the first year of its operation it converted a deficit of fifty millions into a surplus of thirty millions. It contained a maximum and minimum provision under which for the first time the United States has been able to obtain entrance for its products into foreign markets upon as favorable terms as the products of any other nation. It provided a corporation tax which has brought twenty-five millions of dollars a year into the treasury, besides compelling a degree of corporation publicity which has had a most wholesome effect. It provided a tariff board which, if permitted to continue, would bring the possibility of informed, impartial, scientific tariff revision. The Payne law was a fulfillment in good faith of the platform pledge and it has been a boon, not a bane, to the country. The platform called attention to the need of a more elastic and adaptable monetary system and promised to work out that problem. The monetary commission has made its report in fulfillment of that pledge. The platform promised to establish a system of postal savings banks. That promise was fulfilled. The platform promised an effective enforcement of the Sherman act. The columns of the daily papers for the past two years have borne ample testimony to the faithfulness with which that promise has been kept. The platform promised certain amendments to the interstate commerce law. That promise was kept by the enactment of the commerce court statutes, broadening the power of the interstate commerce commission to such an extent that the government has practically complete control over our great transportation systems—a control which has been exercised so wisely that while the rights Democrats Quarrel in New Jersey. An old familiar sound of Democrats at strife among themselves comes now from New Jersey, a state governed by the Democratic nominee for President. It is the Democratic Wilson himself, denouncing former United States Senator H. Smith, Jr., who was chiefly responsible for Wilson's election to the governorship. It seems to be a clash of the bosses—a fight between the higher-ups. In denouncing Smith, Professor Wilson, among other things, says: "I ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. The platform promised that the best of efforts would be made to extend the foreign commerce of the United States. For the first time, our exports last year passed the two billion dollar mark. The platform promised statehood to New Mexico and Arizona. Their stars are on the flag. In a word, with few exceptions of minor importance, every pledge given to the people of the United States by the Republican party in its platform of 1908 has been written into law. Nor do these accomplishments of the Taft administration make any reference to those achievements which were outside the platform promises, which are in peculiar sense the achievements of the president himself—the superb tact and skill with which our diplomacy has met the problems of international intercourse, the introduction of business methods into the departments at Washington effecting economies reaching in the aggregate many millions of dollars, and the negotiations of treaties with France and Great Britain—the longest step in the direction of world peace that has ever been taken since the world began. Rural Mail Carriers Helped. Each day brings to light something President Taft has done for the wage-earners. On September 30, 1912, 42,000 rural letter carriers received an increase in salaries—an increase which everybody admits was brought about by the recommendation and fruitful efforts of President Taft. The compensation of rural carriers on standard routes, averaging" about 25 miles in length, are increased from $1,000 to $1,100 a year, with proportionate increases for rural carriers on shorter routes. Sixteen years ago the rural mail carriers were paid $200 a year. This year they receive $1,100. Thus the Republican party and President Taft help the faithful men who deliver mail upon rural roads. speak with knowledge in this matter, because at every turn of my administration, since I became governor, I have found his hand against the plans of the party—his influence working steadily but covertly against everything that has substituted hope and pride for discouragement and shame in the politics of New Jersey." Next! Russia is Growing. The population of the Russian empire grows yearly by the addition of two and a half million persons. HUGHITT SAYS MUST KNOW MEN TO SUCCEED The most consistently inconsistent human paradox, of these strenuous of these strenuous times celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday anniversary in and about Chicago the other day rounding out a pretty fair record for having never done the expected thing at the expected time. JOHN H. BURKE Inconsistency is his middle name. He revels in it by day and dreams by night of new outrages against the natural law and order of things. If we were scheduled to take the trip with Charon tomorrow morning he would either go tonight or wait until tomorrow afternoon, charter a scow and negotiate the Styx by himself. He has made a dozen or more millions out of his inconsistencies. With him they are marketable commodities with fixed values. His aptitude for the unexpected rescued him from the turmil of a farmer's life and left him serene and satisfied at the head of a railroad system of some 9,000 miles of track and $200,000,000 of assets. This man—his name just happens to be Marvin Hughitt—spent his 27.383d day being exactly as consistent as he has been throughout the other 27,392. "I don't see why any one should be interested in my birthday anniversary," said Mr. Hughitt at his summer home in Lake Forest. "Why do they keep reminding me that I am getting so close to the end of my rope? "You know, I have a confession to make, and my birthday anniversary is a good time to make it. Really—I don't deserve half the credit I have been given for the remarkable success of the great railroad I happen to preside over. "I'll tell you the honest truth. It wasn't I who did it. It was the small army of efficient and faithful men I had around me." Mr. Hughitt declared that the secret of advancing is to know men. Hughitt is not of the Hawley or Harriman type of railroad magnates. He was essentially a builder, never a gambler. His life has been one of constant and steady growth, with none of the great successes and failures which left both these others bent and seared. He is as straight as an Indian, alert and handsome as are few men at his age. The folks expected him to stay at home and make something of a celebration of the event. Instead he went to the office, intent upon running the railroad. But everybody at the office seemed to expect him, so he decided to go calling on friends. SUBJECTS OF KING OF SIAM PAY NO TAXES Traditional mental pictures of the king of Siam and the land over which he rules were ruthlessly destroyed the other day by Harry D. Warner, former Minneapolis man who left America August 25 to return with his bride to Bankok, the Siamese capital, where he is the representative of a big American corpotion. He made the long journey ruthlessly de-stroyed the other day by Harry D. Warner, former Minneapolis man, who left America August 25 to return with his bride to Bankok, the Slamese capital, where he is the representative of a big American corporation. He made the long journey to Minneapolis to marry Miss Harriet M. Riggs. Of Vajlravudh, king of Slam, Mr. Warner said: "Instead of having 600 wives and drowning the ones that displease him in sacks with wildcats, as the old-time story books used to say, he hasn't even one wife. "Instead of riding about on the back of an elephant, he owns forty automobiles and keeps them all in use. "Instead of being educated only in the mystic lore of the Orient, he is an Oxford graduate and the author of "The War of the Polish Succession." "Instead of shrouding his country in the traditional weird customs of the east, he is doing his best to make the land as occidental as possible. "Instead of surrounding himself with curiously robed white-bearded patriarchs to aid in the government, he pays J. I. Westengard of Chicago $25,000 a year to be special adviser, riding around in automobiles and thinking up new schemes for civic improvements. "Instead of oppressing his subjects, though he is an absolute monarch, he levies virtually no taxes at all, practically all of the revenues needed for the government being obtained from the crown teakwood forests and jewel mines. "Instead of maintaining a mysterious capital surrounded by an ancient wall, he has in Bangkok a modern city of nearly 700,000 inhabitants, paved and electric lighted, with an electric tramway system, four steam railroads, a fire department, police force, public health service, three newspapers, hospitals and European hotels. "Stam is no toy kingdom. The country is larger than England and Wales combined and has a population of 18,000,000. Though Buddhism is the state religion, Christianity is not discouraged." MRS. ADAMS' EXPERIENCES IN SOUTH AMERICA Mrs. Harrell Chalmers Adams, woman explorer of South America. Chalmers Adams, of South America, and the wife of Franklin Adams of the Pan-American Union, has returned to the United States from another trip to hitherto unknown parts of South America. She has now travelled more than 40,000 miles on that continent. Speaking of her experiences, she says: "I have Franklin Adams of the Pan-American Union, has returned to the United States from another trip to hitherto unknown parts of South America. She has now traveled more than 40,000 miles on that continent. Speaking of her experiences, she says: "I have gone through experiences such as, I am convinced, no white woman has had. I have circumvagated the South American continent, covering more than 40,000 miles, and have penetrated savage wildernesses where no white man had ever been. I have climbed mountains, walked in the extinct crater of Mount Misti, wandered in regions of mountain cold where my eyelids froze, and, descending into the Amazonian wilderness, stayed in a region infested by vampires—creatures which until then I imagined to be pure myths. I have stood on the site of what is possibly the world's oldest civilization, and have studied ruins built before the time of Babylon." Mrs. Adams has spent about eight years in exploration. In this work and pleasure she discovered, high in the Andes, an unknown river of peat—an important geographical discovery, which sheds new light on the geologic formation of the continent. She was the first white woman to invade the interior wilderness of Peru, where she wandered about the sources of the Amazon, in company with jaguars, monstrous snakes and other wild animals, none of which ever harmed or even attacked her, which led Mrs. Adams to the conclusion that no wild beasts are dangerous unless first attacked themselves by men. On this trip Mrs. Adams came to a region infested by vampires, which previously she had believed to be mythical, and spent a night—the most horrible, she says, of her life—among them. On this occasion her husband and Indian guildes were attacked and a number of their mules killed by the blood-sucking creatures, which measure three to four feet from tip to tip of their wings. LONDON LORD MAYOR'S EXPENSES EXCEED SALARY To be lord mayor of London costs a lot of money, the New York Times correspondent writes. He receives $50,500 a year in salary, free of income tax, but is expected to entertain lavishly; in fact, when the corporation in 1873 fixed the amount of his present emolument it recommended that the lord mayor should show hospitality and attention to writes. He receives $50,500 a year in salary, free of income tax, but is expected to entertain lavishly; in fact, when the corporation in 1873 fixed the amount of his present emolument it recommended that the lord mayor should show hospitality and attention to the other municipalities of the kingdom, the representatives of the city guilds and the trading and commercial classes of London. Interest in the heavy pecuniary burden the lord mayor has to bear is revived through a motion pending in the city of London corporation in regard to the question of the lord mayor's expenses "owing to altered circumstances." Since 1873, when the matter of the lord mayor's salary was last discussed officially, the expenses of the office have increased enormously. Probably none of the incumbents of the office in recent years has been able to defray the costs of the honor out of his salary, large as it is. It is asserted that one lord mayor spent $150,000 in his year of service out of his own pocket, while the minimum expenditure is said to be about $40,000. Away back in 1774, the year before the system of compensating the lord mayor through certain dues was abolished. John Wilkes received about $21,000 and spent more than $41,000. After Wilkes' term the salary for 60 years was $6,000 with some allowances, and later these included about $16,500 paid by the corporation for the expenses of the mansion house, the lord mayor's official residence. This system was in force until the present salary was granted. In addition to what he now receives, the corporation spends from $20,000 to $40,000 a year on mansion house expenses. Those who have witnessed the lord mayor's show get an idea of one very heavy burden which the lord mayor had to bear in part. When the present lord mayor assumed office, the "show" included a historical pageant with costumes that were worth a small fortune. Fashion's Dice Requirement The greatest destruction of wild animal life in the history of Liberia was caused last year by the requirements of fashion. The returns for the fur trade—$4,000,000—exceeded those of 1910 by half a million dollars. Growing Hops in Italy. Successful experiments in hop growing have been made in Italy. Herefore, hops have been imported. The consumption of beer in Italy is said to be almost 25,000,000 gallons a year. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY SINGLE COPY AFRO-AMERICA A negro boy in Canton, Texas, has proved himself a real hero, and there are two happy parents in the vicinity of the little town who feel that they can never pay the debt of gratitude they owe him for the rage of their child. Little Calvin Stepp, a child of three years, fell into a sixty-foot well. It was dry and had been abandoned, but was insecurely covered. Owing to the fact that the well was very narrow (13 inches in diameter), the child struck from side to side, breaking the force of the fall. Strange as it may seem, the little one was unharmed; its voice could be heard calling: "Tome dit me out!" The mother insisted on being lowered into the well, and made a desperate effort to descend, but her shoulders could not be forced through the narrow opening. For two hours or more fruitless attempts at rescue continued, when Elbert Gray, a thirteen-year-old negro lad, arrived at the well. "Till go down," he said. A rope was fastened about him, and he was lowered to the bottom of the well. He grasped the child by the sleeves of its dress and the two were raised forty feet, when the cloth tore apart, and the child fell to the bottom again. The brave negro boy's head was bruised and bleeding when he was drawn to the top, but he was eager to try again. A loop was fastened about his ankles and he was lowered into the well head down. He carried a rope with which he made a noose under the baby's arms. Both were then drawn to the top, neither very much injured. Cheers from the crowd and tearful thanks from the parents greeted the negro and $25 was raised for him on the spot and a much larger sum was given him in town.—Gritt. Negotiations are under way for the formation of a business alliance between American negroes and the natives of the Gold Coast, West Africa. Charles W. Chappelle, known both in New York and Pittsburgh, is at the head of the project, and has interested thirty-two colored men of Pittsburgh and two in New York. Mr. Chappelle returned from the Gold Coast a few weeks ago, after spending several months investigating the business possibilities of that country. While there he says he made contracts with eighty-two chiefs, who will supply him with gold, cocoa, mahogany and rubber. The American negroes and natives are also organizing the African Central railroad and the West Coast Steam and Harbor company. These two transportation concerns will develop business for 440 miles in West Africa. While in New York a few days ago Mr. Chappelle, accompanied by E. M. Askworm, a native of the Gold Coast, visited the Astoria veneering mill, at Astoria, L. I., and made arrangements to furnish the mill with many thousand feet of mahogany. No company has been formed and no stock is to be put on the market, each American putting in a certain amount, which will be used in developing the natural resources of the Gold Coast in conjunction with the natives Miss I. M. Carpenter has been appointed soliciting agent of the freight department of the Pere Marquette-Lehigh Valley railroad, with headquarters at Davenport. Miss Daisy Odin was made division agent on the Burlington, at Rock Island, about a month ago. Both women are experts in the kind of work they will do. In the District of Columbia the statement shows that there were 94,446 blacks and 22,952 mulattoes in 1910, as against 75,572 and 19,836 mulattoes in 1890. The growth of the number of mulattoes does not imply an increasing intermittence between whites and blacks, since children born of marriages between blacks and mulattoes would be mulattoes, according to the census definition. It will be seen that Washington has 127,398 Negroes, the Negro population forming more than one-third of the total population. The per cent increase of mulattoes to the number in 1900 is about equal to the per cent increase that is shown by the "blacks" for the same period. Savannah, Ga., is/ to have a four-story hotel by and for colored people on the European plan. A lunch counter, buffet service at any hour and, roof garden will be some of the features. No married-man in Vienna is allowed to go up in a balloon without the formal consent of his wife and children. Colored men and women, be loyal to your enterprises, not only with your mouths but with your pocket-books; for it is money which makes the mare go. Often we hear some thoughtless darkey talking about having been bitten ten by patronizing their own race, and giving that as a reason for not bestowing further patronage. These same people have also been bitten by whites, and will be bitten again if they stay on earth. Adopt the wise course. Let by-gones be by-gones. Do like other intelligent people—patronize your own race. Robert R. Church, Sr., one of the wealthiest citizens in Memphis and considered the wealthiest Negro in the south, died at his late residence, 384 Landerdale street, Memphis, Tennessee, who was deceased, who was 74 years old, had been eighteen months. He retired from business last October and was succeeded by Robert R. Church, Jr. The Memphis Commercial Appeal gives the following account of Mr. Church's career: "The singular circumstance of a Negro, born a slave, rising from bison boy on a Mississippi river steamboat to the mastery of a fortune estimated at a million dollars made him a conspicuous character, and the news of his death was received all over the city with expressions of interest and enterprise. Church's life reads like a page born from fiction. He came to Memphis years ago. Thrift and industry uncommonly marked, coupled with a keen insight and keen business ability, made him quickly recognized as a man of common business ability. His word was as good as his bond. He came to Memphis from Holly Springs. Miss. For a while he worked around the livery stables here and later he went into the saloon business. Here he got his start. His savings were gradually invested in real estate. One purchase followed another. He saw with a prophetic eye a great city, and he knew thathetic eye a great city, would be valuable. He rarely if ever sold. Conservative estimates are that he left between 200 and 300 houses in various parts of Memphis. The bulk of them are in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards. According to one in authority, his monthly income from his rentals amounted to $6,000 alone. He owned a subdivision of 135 acres on the Raleigh car line east of Memphis and was founder and first president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, the first Negro financial institution of the city. Church's Park on Beale avenue is also his property. Though no unusual deeds of charity or munificence are credited to him, yet it is known that he was a charitable man. He lived simply, though he could have easily outshone many a man in the ostentatious display of luxury. He went about his work quietly and kept a poise that marked him as a man of extraordinary common sense. The late John Overton, John Gaston and the late Col. Josiah Patterson were his friends. Sid M. Neely was his closest adviser. There were 8,927,763 negroes in continental United States in 1918, according to a preliminary statement issued by Director Durand of the bureau of the census yesterday. The statistics, which were prepared under the direction of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population, are subject to revision. Of the total number of blacks 20.9 per cent. or 2,050,686, were reported as mulatto, that is, according to the census definition, all persons, not full-blooded blacks, having some proportion or perceptible trace of African blood in them. The Kentucky Daughters of the American Revolution are pleased by the passage of the bill in congress appropriating money to mark the trail of Daniel Boone. Suitable milestones will be set in place to commemorate the journey of the pathfinder of Kentucky. The Virginians are setting up stones to show the paths of the first traders. Perhaps unappreciation of the colored journal comes more from the fact that but few persons actually read all its columns, remarks the Illinois Chronicle. A hasty glance at the headline, a peep at the editorials and a skimming of the locals constitute the average reader's attention to the weekly issue. The opinion from such cursory reading then follows that the "negro paper is no good—no news—not worth reading." Give the papers a change to prove their worth. Brains are put into them; use your brains to get the substance out of them. Read them carefully, not one issue, but several, and find out what they contain, then give your honest opinion and let it be unprejudiced, if you please. A tract covering nine city blocks in Wilmington, N. C., valued at about $30,000, has been set apart by an act of congress for a negro school. A $40,000 building is to be erected at once. The tract adjoins the marine hospital. The tight wad gets no reduction in heaven for entering sideways. A negro life-term convict in Michigan City prison, Indiana, was granted leave of ten days' absence August 3 to go to his home in New Albany without guard to see the last of his sister, who was dying. "The only thing that keeps us from having an automobile," says the Lamar (Mo.) Democrat. "Is the fact that we haven't a blamed thing to more gage. Breakers of hearts are generally busted.

Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland Ohio, as second-class matter Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1898; 1898 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. In recent weeks, The Gazette has been asked so often where it stood in the presidential contest, now on, that we have deemed it proper to answer the question at this time; and do so in the leader, headed "WHERE WE STAND." If Jack Johnson wants to fight in New York why does he not go to the New York courts and find out if the Boxing Commission has a right to prevent his doing so because he is a black hero and not a black Irish champion N. W. Aze. The Afro-Americans of the "Empire State" are greatly derelict along the same line. They could and should do far more than they do, to vindicate their rights, denied so frequently in public places, by going into the courts and thus using their Malby Civil Rights law, a copy of our Ohio law. The same is true in the case of Ohio Afro-Americans. All are able to do so, too. Why don't they do their clear duty to themselves and the race? FORCED TO SPEAK. We have been watching developments of the "jim grow" social centre in our neighboring city of Buffalo, N., hoping that some of our good citizens there, and the N. Y. Age would speak out against, in clairion tones, but up to the present time there has been a "sacred silence." This "jim crow" social centre, if allowed to remain, will soon put Buffalo's Afro-American citizens behind the backyard fence. With only a handful of Negroes there—less than 2,000 and less than 75 school children—foolish selfish "jim crow" Negroes, looking for a livelihood for their own impoverished families, have thrust upon our people of Buffalo a Negro social centre which ought not to be tolerated for one minute. And now comes one Scott, booming a night school there for Negroes. Shame! Thrice, shame! Buffalo has three Afro-American school teachers, teaching white childrens, one Colored woman handing out library books to white people, Negro women as stenographers, etc. And now a "jim crow" .egro, who ought to go back where he belongs, is trying to force down the throats of Buffalo's citizens a separate school for Afro-American children, when the laws of the grand old "Empire state" abolished separate schools forty years ago. "Shades of the immortal gods" whether are we tending? The Buffalo Courier of September 17 shows that 5,000 men, women and children of all nationalities, registered for that city's night schools, and yet this man Scott wants to operate a Negro school. This same thing was attempted, recently, in Lorain, this state, but our leading, thoughtful and intelligent people of that city quickly and quietly squelched the incipient "jim crow" school movement there. Let our good people of Buffalo do likewise. AS TO STATE'S RIGHTS, ETC. Among the 42 proposals (amendments) to the constitution of the state of Ohio, submitted about two weeks ago to the voters of that state, and which was defeated was Proposal No. 24, striking out the word "white" in the Constitution, and so far as the constitution of that state is concerned, the Negro could be denied the right of suffrage. Of course, they are not actually denied the right because the federal constitution prohibits denial of suffrage because of "race, color or race." Charleston (W. Va.), Mountain Leader. The federal constitution provision to which our conferee calls attention is effective only in federal elections—where candidates for presidential elections and for congress are to be voted for—and is not effective in state elections, where all candidates from Governor down to the constable are to be voted for. This, the state has absolute control of (states' rights), according to a decision, many years ago, of the United States supreme court. Over one million Afro-American voters in the south are thus legally disfranchised in the state elections and illegally restrained from voting for candidates for presidential electors and for congress (federal elections). With the word "white" in the suffrage clause of the new Ohio constitution, the Afro-American voters of Ohio will stand as they always have under the present or old state constitution, without the legal right, or to be technically correct, without the legal privilege of voting in state elections. The present or old Ohio constitution was adopted before the war of the rebellion and, consequently, before the emancipation, Jan. 1, 1863. Continuing, our esteemed contemporary, the Mountain Leader, says: Ohio must be numbered among the other Negro-hating commonwealths of this country. After carefully studying the attitude of the various states as to their Colored citizens, we have reached the conclusion that West Virginia is the garden spot of the world for the boys in black. The "other Negro-hating states," in this country, means all of them, including our birth-state, West Virginia, where a notoriously innocent Afro-American was lynched, a few weeks ago, by a mob of white brutes, lynchmurders. After careful thought and review of the triangular political situation in the present presidential campaign, we have decided to remain in the ranks of the republican party and support its candidates, or as many of them as we can, in this fall's campaign. Our reasons for this, are: First: There is absolutely nothing for the Afro-American in the ranks of democracy. This is as it always has been, excepting that this fall, for the first time since the war of the rebellion, southern democracy is "in the saddle" not only controlling the party's candidate for the presidency, a native southerner, but also dominating the organization to such an extent as to make perfectly clear what the condition will be, as far as our people are concerned, after election in November, in event of the elevation of Gov. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, to the presidency. It is hardly necessary to explain to our readers, or our people generally, what "domination of the solid south" means. They know entirely too well that about all the ills of our people, in this country are directly traceable to this very same domination. Wholesale barbary lynching, mob violence, disfranchisement, "jim-crow" railroad and street cars, a general assault upon our citizen's rights and privileges, and hun dreds of other ills that time will not permit us to enumerate, are not all by a great deal, but are quite enough to make it simply impossible for The Gazette to support the candidacy for the presidency of Gov. Woodrow Wilson. Second: As to Col. Theodore "Brownsville" Roosevelt and his Third or "Cure-All" party which, in one breath, bleats so loudly of "its cause being the welfare of humanity, of being the foe of every form of injustice, and oppression, of advocating social, industrial and human liberty, of being imbued with the ideals of human rights and wishing to serve their fellow beings", etc, etc, and in the very next breath bars from representation in its first national convention in Chicago, the 6,000,000 Afro-Americans of the southland who have suffered, and are suffering in every way, more than all other elements (combined) of the cosmopolitan population of this country, in addition to Roosevelt's lynchmurder and subsequent persecution of "The Black Battalion", more need not be said to the average, thoughtful member of the race who has a spark of loyalty, manhood, self and race respect. If southern Afro-Americans votes for delegates to "Bull Moose" national conventions are refused, as they are by that party, no member of the race, north or south, should so far forget himself as to cast a vote for its candidates, especially its candidate for the presidency, on election day in November. The many "human lilies" which our people throughout this country, particularly in the south, suffer, do not materially concern Col. "Brownsville" Roosevelt and his party, race loyalty, manhood, self and race respect make it absolutely for The Gazette to allow the ranks of the republican party to espouse only the white men's cause, being so eloquently pleaded by the Progressive (7) or "Third Party." Third: While the major portion of the first term of President William Howard Taft has been a bitter disapointment to our people in several respects, nevertheless, he has said and done some good things for us which are of such recent occurrence as to make it unnecessary for us to particularize at this time. We are free to confess that he has made some serious mistakes. He frankly admits them and gives assurance that he will rectify them as far as it lies in his power, should he be re-elected. While this condition may not suit all, the question recurs, where are we to turn in the present presidential campaign, to find as good assurances or better? Surely not to the democratic party nor to the so-called progressive party. Neither the socialist nor the prohibition parties' candidates for the presidency are positive factors in the contest, this fall. Therefore, are not to be considered. Here, in Ohio, at the head of the state republican ticket, we have in the person of Gen. R. B. Brown of Zanesville, a veteran of the war of the rebellion, a life-long friend of the race, and a republican of the "old school," such as is his comrade and long-time friend, our great senator, Joseph Benson Foraker. The rest of the state ticket and nearly all the various county republican candidates in Ohio, this fall, are so infinitely preferable to those of either the democratic or so-called progressive party, that it makes it much easier for others, as it has for The Gazette, to reach a conclusion such as it has, after a little careful thought and review of the political situation in nation, state and county. FORAKER, TAFT, ROOSEVELT. Bonneville, Ore., Sept. 19, 1912 Hon. Harry C. S. Smith, Editor The Gazette: Dear Friend—I am sorry Taft is not great enough to restore The Black Battalion. To the Black Battalion, he would have been too great to let "Teddy" use him as a tool to do wrong in the first place. However, if he wins now, it must be with the help of the "Old Guard," and he might be induced to do justice then see they have named friend and named him Foraker for governor in Ohio. I do hope you elect him, for that will put the machinery of the party in the hands of friends of our dear senator, and if we could put him in the White House in 1916, old wrongs would be righted as far as human power could do it. We would win, and wishes. Yours sincerely, Mrs. Patricia Robison. Are You in Arrears on your subscription?

As the American Bar Association is a purely professional organization, and in no sense a social club, this action is calculated to give one pause and to show how weak is the sense of justice, even among those who are regarded as ministers of justice, when it is opposed to their social and racial prejudices. It is to be hoped that in future objection the American Bar Association will see its way to annul this action. —Editorial in The Chicago Israelite, Sept. 14.

THE CELEBRATION A GREAT SUCCESS. The emancipation celebration at Forest City Park. Monday afternoon and evening, under the auspices of our local secret and fraternal orders, was a great success in every way in spite of the inclement weather. Nearly 3,000 people were in attendance. Fairfax's excellent orchestra furnished music for the occasion. Our people in Akron came up in a special car. Rev. E. L. Gilliam of Columbus, speaker of the convention, ordered one of the best addresses ever heard at a local celebration of a like nature. On Dr. Gilliam's return to Columbus, he wrote Mr. Dillard, a member of the committee of arrangements, thanking the latter for its "most gracious and kindly treatment" while in the city. The races and prize winners were as follows: 100 prize winners for men first prize, 100 Hansbush second prize, 100 Ming third prize, 100 Jackson. Race for women, first prize, Mrs. Betty Walden; second prize, Mrs. Sales. Race for girls under 16, first prize, Ida Fountain; second prize, Mary Walden.

She sold $100 in cash for meeting of the committee's arrangement evening, a vote of thanks was given. The Gazette for its invaluable assistance in advertising the celebration. Much of the attendance was attributed to its advertisements. It certainly pays to advertise in The Gazette. BUGKEYE LETTERS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS.

Usually we call a doctor who promises more than he can cure, a quack; a lawyer who promises to win all his cases, a shy man who promises to medicines who promises more than he can possibly perform, a faker, and a candidate for office or the political leader who appeals to all the prejudices, passions, hopes, ambitions and inclinations of the people, a demagog."

It was a very friendly little note thanking him for some lovely roses and asking him to come to tea that afternoon. That was all, but it was not enough for Billy Jellilf nor would it have satisfied any other young man who had indicted seven pages breathing undying love and devotion and asking her for just one word of encouragement in return. Amy had not voucafhed even one word. Her customary: "Dear Mr. Jellilf," smote him coldly when he tore open the letter. The conventional tone of the rest of the missive chilled him thoroughly and after he had read it for the third time he folded it carefully and placed it in his bill case where he cherished the first note he had ever received from her, together with a rosebud she had given to him. "This ends the whole business," he declared solemnly and thereupon indicted a formal note of regret for his inability to come to tea that afternoon and hastily packed a bag and cleared out of town. It was very easy for Billy Jelliff to run away from the scene of this heart disaster, for he had plenty of money—if he had been a poorer youth he would have had to remain at his daily tasks, drilling through the monotonous grind of the wage-earner with nothing to still his aching heart. But Billy had money and he had a friend who had started to hunt goats in the Canadian Rockie. Billy managed to overtake him at Winnipeg and without stating his particular grievance, announced that he had changed his mind about remaining in New York for the rest of the season. Jim Channing found his companion singularly disinterested concerning the slaying of mountain goats. Jim would sit patiently for six hours crouching behind a jutting crag waiting for his squy quarry to pass by and would count himself lucky if he grazed the bide of a goat as it skipped past. On the other hand Billy Jelliff would sit patiently for many hours, his eyes A His Eyes Fixed on Vacancy. fixed on vacancy, his thoughts intent on the questions that continually tortured him—why had Amy given him such open encouragement if she didn't care? Her sheerosity had always been her greatest charm for him. As he sat thus in the high places, his gun resting in the hollow of his arm, goats came and went undisturbed by him. One day a giant ram perched on an opposite crag for ten minutes had stared at him and Billy stared dreamily back at the handsome creature, thinking what a fine picture it made silhouetted against the blue sky—he wished that Amy had been there to see it, too! Jim Channing saw the ram at the same time, but he was out of range, and as he wormed his way toward Billy's retreat, fearing that that youth was either dead or dying, the ram snuffed the scent and disappeared. "Oh, peshaw!" muttered Billy as the "picture" vanished. "What's the matter?" demanded Channing, pale with just indignation. "Did you see it?" asked Billy, still dazed from his dreaming. "See what?" "The goat—finest specimen I ever saw—why—er—I suppose you think it funny I didn't bring him down," stammered Billy, suddenly realizing the enormity of his offense in the eyes of a thorough sportsman like Channing. "Not at all," retorted Channing sarcastically. "We're not up here to shoot goats—merely to photograph them! Too bad you didn't have a camera along!" Billy writed, but he remained silent. There was nothing to say. "That's the big ram I've been trailing for three days—I told you all about him last night after supper—and you let him get away!" Channing's voice was tragic, almost tearful. "I'm sorry, old man," murmured the shamed Billy. "I should have stayed at home." Channing made no answer. It was time to return to camp, and he led the way down the narrow trail, Billy following dejectedly. Billy prepared supper while Channing skinned and cut up a goat he had shot earlier in the day. While the juicy steaks broiled over the fire, Channing scanned the surrounding peaks with his strong field glasses hoping against hope that the giant ram might still be in the neighborhood. The chances were against good luck. By this time the ram might be many miles away and might not cross their track for months.

"You'll never have another shot like that," predicted Channing. "Perhaps." Later as they sat before the campfire smoking in silence, Channing, who had been watching Billy's gloomy thoughtful face for some time, broke out suddenly: "What's the matter with you, any-way, Billy?" Travis & Strawder Billy exhaled a cloud of smoke and looked into the bowl of his pipe. "Er—nothing," he answered. "That means a girl," said Channing judicially. Billy was silent. "What became of the pretty red-hairy girl seemed to follow around last winter?" pursued Channing, confident that now he was on the right trail to the source of Billy's extraordinary behavior, for normally Billy Jelliff was an ardent sportman.

NOSSOKOFF, 1405 PENN AVENUE, PITTTSBURG, PA "What do you think of that for a reply to a letter like mine?" he demanded taking Amy's worn little note from his bill case and giving it to his friend. Jim Channing held the note close to the fire and read it; then, with the experience of the married, he turned the sheet over looked at the back, unfolded it and peered inside. "Of course you read the postscript," he said. "What's the matter with that?" "Postscript!" yelled Billy. "What's Where?" "Why inside here—between the sheets—just where any shy little girl like Amy Ray wounds it. I'm going to a stroll. Don't kick yourself off the mountain before I come back!" Billy did not hear him—he was reading the little postscript which Amy had tucked away inside the pages, confident that his sharp eyes would find it. "I can't write what I want to say to you—but I will tell you when you come to tea, dear Billy! Yours Amy." Channing came back to find him brooding tenderly over the postscript "I suspect I'll have to shoot here alone now," he grumbled. "Not on your life!" promised Billy "I'm going down the mountain to mail a letter tomorrow—then I'll come back and get that big dog for you I've got to get a pair of horns for Amy, you know!" "Ah!" grinned Channing. "I sup pose the postscript to this affair will be wedding bells—eh!" "I hope so," said Billy solemnly. Open Evenings for the Accommodation of the Theater Trade.

The park closed, Sept. 15. No tears will be shed by manly and womanly self and race respecting members of the race. The clam-bake there, Monday evening, was not well-attended. The Bailey Co. is announcing that they are going to distribute $5,000 to the different churches and charitable institutions on the same plans as last year.

If you are interested, ask the Bailey Co. for booklets on the voting plan which explain everything. Again We Say Subscribe for THIS PAPER THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1912.

Detectives Lindsay and Patterson of the Lake Shore railroad police found Marie Lucas, a 20-year-old girl, attired in men's clothes sitting hunched up in a Lake Shore box car in the Collinwood yards. Saturday night. She was taken to the fourteenth precinct police station where she said she had come home to work on her freight. She said she left her on Culpeper, Va, with two porters who took her to Buffalo. Fearful that she might be detected, they procured the masculine clothing for her. In Buffalo they deserted her, she told the police, and she came here because she has a brother living somewhere in the city or elsewhere in Ohio. The editor of The Gazette and Rev. H. C. Loyd gave her clothing and an enployment with M. Clare and Mrs. Ego, R. Randolph of Central Ave., while the rain poured down, Sunday afternoon, thus saving her from imprisonment.

To two little French-American boys belongs the credit of establishing new and logical definitions of woman suffrage. The boys are Paul and Allan Ullman, the little sons of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Paul Ullman, whose home is in Paris, and who have been spending a part of this winter in New York. The boys have heard much, of course of suffrage and the militant movement, and the other day Paul, who is 5, turned to Alan, who is 6, and said: "Do you know what a suffragette is?" "Yes," responded Alan, promptly. "I do. A suffragette is a lady that wants to have something to do with the government and the men won't let her and so she suffers. She suffers awful." Paul shook his head. "I don't think it's that way," he differed. "I think a suffragette's a lady that breaks windows and gets put in jail. And then won't eat anything, and that's how she suffers. I bet she suffers awful!" Too True. Mrs. Bacon-I understand one can learn different languages from the phonograph? Mrs. Egbert-Well, since our neighbor got his I know my husband has used language I never heard him use before. All Things to Them That Wait.

LEFT FORTUNE IN JEWELS VAL UED AT $375,000. Mysterious Death of Former Clergyman Puzzles Berlin Police—Had Been Missionary in East, Where He Collected Diamonds. Berlin—Jewels worth $375,000 have been found at the residence of Rev. Dr. Liebe, an ex-Roman Catholic clergyman, whose mysterious death is puzzling the police. Dr. Liebe, who was formerly an army chaplain, became violently sick after drinking from a bottle labeled "anisette" and soon died. The police, who knew that he was interested in various commercial affairs, expressed the opinion that he had committed suicide by poison on account of financial difficulties, though they were unable to explain why the clergyman's housekeeper and her husband, who also had drunk some of the stuff in the bottle, had become sick but recovered. The suicide theory has been promptly abandoned in view of the present astonishing discovery of the jewelry. The lawyer and police officials who were charged with examining the contents of the house found, besides diamond pins, studs and links, a dressing room safe containing a miniature golconda. There were dozens of pill boxes, numbered neatly and labeled "diamonds," "rubles," "emeralds," "opals," "pears" and "sapphires." When the boxes were opened they yielded up contents in accordance with the description, until the astonished searchers, who had accompanied Dr. Liebe's brother, had collected some hundreds of fine gems, including 230 sapphires, 218 diamonds, 164 turquoises and 50 rubles. In addition to these there was a magnificent gold communion chalice studded with 438 gems, chiefly rubles, emeralds and amethysts. The chalice is estimated to be worth $75,000. It is believed that Dr. Liebe's passion for gems was due to his travels in the east. He went to India as a Catholic missionary thirty years ago. Thence he went to China and Japan. He returned some years ago and abandoned Catholicism to become a Protestant. Lately he had been talking of getting married. Apart from his love of gems Dr. Liebe lived the simplest life. He did not seem to be at all accentric. Other things found were bank books with considerable amounts and a collection of old porcelain. U.S. MAJOR ALLEN S. PEAL. A Native of Cleveland, Long a Resi dent of Columbus - Forging to the Front as an Educator. Allen S. Peal was born here in Cleveland and attended Miss Purdy's kindergarten on Cedar Ave. In 1879 his sisters became teachers in our St. Louis, M.o., public schools and the Peal family moved to central Ohio. In 1895 he graduated from the Ohio State University where he spent the full six year course, preparatory and college, receiving a B. A. degree and a master's degree in the department. After spending some time in newspaper work and travel, he accepted the Red River Normal at Clarksville, Texas, where he was chosen conductor of the Summer Teachers' Normal. At this time, his military instructor of college days, Col. Heistand, presented his name to President McKinley and he was commissioned a lieutenant in the Seventh Cavalry. He was one of the proud memories of the Major is the inaugural day when he was honored with a command of cadets (white) and passed in review before thousands, cheering for human equality and Gov. McKinley. He has served as deputy county auditor at Columbus; principal of the Tulsa, Okla. separate schools; our public school; our public postmaster, and has worked many years as instructor and conductor of teachers' summer normals. His wife, a teacher, is his valuable assistant. She, too, is a product of the Ohio school system. Major Peal has been working quietly for several years to interest presidents of our colleges sufficiently to secure the introduction of a full military system in our institutions of learning that we may know better with the "soldier spirit" and army training. He is now custodian, disciplinarian and teacher of pedagogy, Latin and military at Western University, Kansas City, Kan., and is meeting with his usual exceptional success. A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY.

Davis Loses His Fight. Atlanta, Ga.—It was 4 a. m., Sept. 14, when Grand Master E. H. M. of Chicago, who was presiding over the B. M. C. here, adjourned the meeting, and Ben. M. C. supports, were parading the hall and shouting, at the time. The result is all the old grand officers will hold over until the next B. M. C. meeting of the G. U. O. of O. F. Otherwise the recent meeting was a grand success. Grand Secretary James F. Needham in his report stated that in the order were 5,234 lodges, 3,992 households, with a total of 9,227 lodges working under the jurisdiction of the Sub-Committee of Management His report also included 378 patriciaries, 153; juveniles, 1,026; district grand lodges, 32; district grand households, 30.

World's Largest Index On Beacon Hill, in Boston, under the golden dome of the state house, is one of the largest indexes in the world. In fact, the Russian public index is the only one known to be larger. More than nine million names, giving births, marriages and deaths in Massachusetts from 1843, make a complete record, showing not only where people were born and where they died, but also statistics which are vital in making up calculations. Before this time the records were kept in the different towns, but now they are all concentrated in the state house in Boston. In a relatively small space all these records are preserved, and as births, marriages and deaths come in, different forms of cards are used, and a great variety of names, Grecian, Assyrian, Italian, and others now mingle with good old New England names that have been on the records since the landing of the Mayflower."—Affairs at Washington." Joe Mitchell Chapple, in National Magazine. After It. "Pa, what is an inheritance tax?" "An inheritance tax, my boy, is the crowd of promoters, real estate agents, mining stock sharks, that take up a lot of money, and they learn that he has fallen heir to a 'little money.'"—Detroit Free Press. Tracing Phrases Like most other things, a phrase is ordinarily a social product. It is difficult to find the origin of an idea. It is dangerous to say that one has found it. In his late book, "Applied Socialism," Mr. John Spargo traces Proudhon's "Property is robbery" back to the early Christian fathers. In a following paragraph he speaks of the inequalities which divide men into rich and poor, "bringing some into the world saddled and bridled and others wearing spurs and ready to ride the saddled ones"—and Mr. Spargo ascribes the metaphor to Heine. But Macaulay, in his "History of England," quotes Richard Rumbold as saying on the scaffold in 1685, "I never could believe that Providence had sent a few men into the world ready booted and spurred to ride, and millions ready saddled and bridled to be ridden." Your good phrase has usually an ancient lineage. A. More Guess. "Pa, is it true that George Washington never told a lie?" "I guess it is, my son. Why do you ask?" "I was just thinkin' if it was true Martha must have always gone with blm when he went out anywhere." Knew what he was doing. A five-year-old boy in Riverside, Cal., recently boy died doing his own observations, cutting things in the top crust for the steam to escape. When his father said to him, "The steam will come out," he straightened up and with emphasis replied: "I'm making a pie and not a boiler." ```markdown ``` BOYS!
