THIRTIETH YEAR. NO. 13 IF HE WOULD SPEAK FROM THE HEART FOUR YEARS AGO I COULDN'T SAY ENOUGH FOR TAPT. TODAY I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH AGAINST HIM!! WHY THIS CHANGE? SIMPLY BECAUSE I WANT HIS JOB! THAT'S ALL! KNOKVILLE JOURNAL TRIBUNE IL MILITOR TRIUMPH ESSTATICO THIRTIETH YEAR IF HE WOULD SPEAK FOUR SAY ENOUGH TODAY AGAINST WHY THE SIMPLY HIS JO BROOKVILLE JOURNAL TRIBUNE FRIEND OF FARMER PROTECTION GIVES HIM GOOD MARKETS FOR HIS PRODUCTS AT FAIR PRICES PRACTICAL BENEFITS SHOWN Prosperity Under Republican Administration, With Distress Under Democratic Control, is the Answer to Professor Wilson's Inaccurate Statements Regarding Tariff. Professor Wilson, who has been advocating free trade in all of his speeches, says that the farmers never have been protected and do not need protection. Then he ads: "everything you use on the farm, everything that you wear and a great deal of what you eat, but do not produce yourself, including meats, bears a heavy duty, which brings about the interesting result that you are paying for the wealth of the United States and getting nothing, or equivalent to nothing, so far as the tariff is concerned. Now that has not just begun to be true. It has always been true." It is not true. The protective tariff does benefit the farmers. "They know it, and by theirvoes have helped to maintain the policy of protection. Every Republican victory has been due to the vote of the farmers in support of the protective system. These farmers have not been mistaken through all these years. The value of protection has been demonstrated to them over and over again." The fact is that every time tariff duties have been reduced below the protective point, the farmers in this country have been heavy losers because of diminished demand and lower prices for their products. On the other hand, in every period of restored protection, the farmers have resped the benefits of a greater demand and increased prices. There has been no exception to the rule of prosperity for American farmers, when American labor is fully employed. There were good crops between 1892 and 1897. The rains fell, the sun shone, the ground was just as fertile as now. In those years, however, corn sold for 16 cents a bushel and wheat for 35 cents a bushed. Why? Because the factors were closed and millions of men were idle. With the lowering of the tariff duties, American merchants bought their goods abroad, and the orders which should have gone to American factories kept foreign labor busy. As payment for these various goods had to be made in gold, the yuctions of the banks and of the United States treasury became empty. There was great stringency of money. It was impossible to negotiate loans, and banks suspended. The farmer shared in these disasters because he had no market for his products. After the Republicans came into power and passed laws which turned the tide of commerce back from Europe to the United States, good times began again, and the farmers shared in the general prosperity. These are the figures, comparing 1890 with 1911: Corn advanced 209 per cent. Wheat advanced 67 per cent. Cotton advanced 166 per cent. Oats advanced 28 per cent. Rye advanced 137 per cent. Barley advanced 326 per cent. Hops advanced 286 per cent. Potatoes advanced 252 per cent. He Would Battle Alone. Just suppose that the Lord should step down to Armageddon and weed out those who are battling in his behalf to further their own private ends. Inen suppose that he should drive out those found guilty of bearing false witness against their neighbors. And let him end up by excluding those guilty of questionable political practices. Wouldn't he have to do the battling for himself?—Iowa City Republican. THE GAZETTE Flaxseed advanced 149 per cent. Fat cattle advanced 62 per cent. Dairy hogs advanced 90 per cent. Eggs advanced 90 per cent. The prices of articles which the farmer purchased have not advanced as rapidly as the prices of the product which he sells, thus leaving him a handsome margin of profit. Here are a few examples: Ten bushels of corn in 1911 paid for 123 pounds of sugar, and for only 56 pounds in 1896. Ten bushels of corn paid for 31 yards of bleached sheeting in 1911, and for only 13 yards in 1896. Ten bushels of corn in 1911 paid for two pairs of shoes, and for only one pair in 1896. No farmer can afford to vote the Democratic ticket because Democratic victory means lower prices for his products, depreciation in the value of his farm lands, and the impossibility of borrowing any money in times of emergency. A vote for Woodrow Wilson is a vote for free trade, and a vote for Roosevelt is half a vote for Wilson and free trade. The only security for the farmer is in the re-election of President Taft and the continuation of the Republican party in power. NEGLECT OF THE FARMERS Record of Recent Democratic Congress Warns the Agril- cultural Intervention Democratic government does not benefit the farmer. The record of the Democratic majority of the house during the second session of the Sixty-second congress proves this in more ways than one. During the past summer the field work in agricultural education all over the country was completely demoralized. The Democratic house failed to pass the appropriation bill in time to meet the needs for the work and many local institutions and communities that had sought aid were seriously embarrassed. The activities in behalf of farmers' institutes were interrupted because the leader in charge of the work had to be recalled, owing to lack of funds. Every state and territorial experiment station in the country felt the serious effects of Democratic neglect. There are sixty-five of these stations, where 1,600 persons are regularly employed, in addition to numerous laborers and other help. Summer is the busy season for the experiment stations and failure to receive the necessary funds not only is hampered by the work, but in not a few cases necessitated postponement or modification of investigations. Numerous plans at the stations awaited the annual inspection, which could not be made without funds and must be put back until next year. Owing to the Democratic delay, the department of agriculture was compelled to discontinue field work in connection with soil surveys. The potash and fertilizer investigations were also suspended for lack of funds. How He Makes the Mare Go How He Makes the Mare Go. The man who "makes the mare go" for the Bull Moose party, one Mr. Perkins, Roosevelt's campaign financier, is one of the Harvester trust moguls. That trust has a subsidiary plant at Auburn, N. E. Women and girls work there on every hour shifts, nightly starvation, stagnant age and are not allowed to sit down. As a result of the grinding and exacting policy of this plant and other plants like it, Perkins is able to furnish slush money for the Bull Moose campaign and to help along the personal cause of the Chief Bull Moose.—Canton Register. Light on Great Questions. The fact of the matter is that William H. Taft is not only a high-class statesman and president, but he is dead right in nine cases out of ten, and more nearly right on great questions than the average of his predecessors. Give us Taft every time instead of the wind-jammer of Bly, or the Princeton professor with his vague notions of governmental reforma.—Colorado Springs Telegraph. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1912. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There are a great many Jamaicans in the United States and in Greater New York, and The Age on that account takes a lively interest in the well being and the future of their beautiful island home and its people, of whom there are 1,640,000 "negroes and negroids" and only 125,000 whites. The proposed federation of Jamaica, therefore, with Canada is of the greatest moment to them, if Sir Henry Johnston correct in the conclusion published in The Age of August 29 that the Canadians are as prejudiced against negroes as some of the white people of the United States, and do not get along with them as well as Englishmen fresh from the old country. The intense color prejudice of the Canadians must be attributable in large measure to the vast army of white Americans who have emigrated to the Canadian northwest in the two past decades and with last year were loud in protest against the yearly settlement of Oklahoma negroes in that section. Of course the 125,000 white Jamaicans would oppose any scheme of Canadian federation that would destroy their domination of affairs as a crown colony, as they would be hopelessly outvoted by the 1,640,000 "negroes and negroids" for members of the Canadian parliament and the other elective officers as members of the federation. Under existing conditions the colored Jamaicans have small voice in the council of the governor or in the government of the island, although they are numerously represented in the civil service, while as a unit of the Canadian Federation they would have more voice. They would also have to pay more taxes, as the colony would have to bear its proportionate share of the federation taxation as well as support its own civil establishment, and we do not understand that it is self supporting as a crown colony. The question is one of vital interest to the people of Jamaica, especially the negro people, and we are sure they will not rush into the Canadian federation without being sure of bettering their condition—New York Age. It is encouraging to the Dallas Express to find strong men rising up from all parts of the country endorsing its utterances against the blood-suckers and parasites of the race, who take all and nothing give. The negro school teacher or preacher whose job wholly depends upon his race should be the last among us to utter a discordant note or breath a dissenting word against the enterprises started by members of their own race. We have in almost all the larger towns now undertaking establishments, soda water fountains, drug stores and restaurants. Let the negro lay aside his prejudice and his envy and come to the rescue of these places with his mouth and his money. Every time one succeeds, it means more places where your educated boy or girl can get something to do. Every time you spend a dollar there you increase the world's respect for your judgment and common sense. The negro who goes about now talking against his race enterprises to white people, playing the grinning jackass in order to be called a "smart nigger," deserves to have a shoe-shop made of his pants behind. He has outlived his usefulness, and the other world awaits his worthless soul. Look at your children, and look in the white man's store, bank, office, note and see if you can make yourself believe that he ever intends to employ your black child there, except to do the common service. Let us have sense. Though Mrs. Taft has not openly joined the movement against the use of orchids and other high priced flowers for social affairs, she is assisting it greatly by the decorations she insists on at her own receptions. The wife of the president is a great lover of spring blossoms, and, in fact, throughout the year prefers them to the imported exotics. At her largest dinners this season there always is an abundance of white lilies with dainty garlands of arbutus. The effect is charming for a long table and makes a more artistic combination than hot-house roses and carnations or heavy orchids. Don't kick over the ladder upon which you are rising. Don't forget the rock from whence you are hewn. This admonition applies with terrific force to certain negroes in this town, who, since they have gotten able to wear breeches which are not patched, are simply beside themselves. One would not imagine from their proud boast and peacock strut that they had ever known poverty, but they have. Such is the age in which we live.—Dallas Express. Macon county, Alabama, is said to have a larger area of land held by negroes than any other county in the south. On 1910 negroes owned 61,689 acres in Macon. In Liberty county, Ga., the next largest in negro land holdings, the area was 55,048, while in Leuisla county, Virginia, the third county in this respect, the colored population owned 53,268 acres. In Macon county there is no race problem—the negro population, through the industrial education of Tuskegee, has become self-reliant. The county has 57 colored public schools. The annual Hampton conference, of which reports have just arrived, tells part of the story of how the colored man in the south is working out his salvation as a free citizen. At Hampton for the past 16 years there has been a midsummer gathering of the leaders of the colored race—the men and women from all the southern states who are doing practical work in agriculture, education, sanitation, rural welfare and better forms of recreation. One of the race that was released from the slavery less than half a century ago. The reports of the 1912 conference are particularly significant and encouraging. For example, in the agricultural section it was brought out that of the $80,000 colored farmers of the south, 218,000 own land and buildings valued at almost a billion dollars. In Virginia 32,220 colored farmers of the south, 218,000 own land and buildings valued at almost a billion dollars. In Virginia 32,220 colored farmers own and operate their own farms, a gain of 22 per cent. in farms as tenants. In Georgia the colored farmers increased from 82,000 to 122,000 in ten years; in Arkansas from 46,000 to 63,500; and in Mississippi there was an increase of 226,000. The educational progress is especially gratifying. The percentage of negro illiterates in the whole country dropped from 44.5 in 1900 to 30.4 in 1910; for the negroes of the south it dropped from 48 in 1900 to 33.1 in 1910. In 1900 there were three states, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia, where over 50 per cent of the negroes could not read or write. In 1910 Louisiana with 48.2 per cent of negro illiterates makes the poorest showing. As they prosper in material things the negroes are supporting more and more generously their various schools. For example, American institute in Georgia, maintained by 70 colored Baptist churches, began life in 1897 with an income of $154 from those churches, and last year it received $8,000 from the same sources. If I injure my neighbor of course my neighbor is bound to injure me in return—and of course there is no end to that pursuit. No civilization was ever built up on that. On the contrary, civilization, especially our civilization, has been built up on the principle of not retaliating, of not doing evil to other men, as they do to you. On the other hand, while I believe in imitating the white man in most things that he does, I believe in imitating him, not in the evil things, but in the good things, and the people who curse the negro are not the best white people, but the worst. The best white people are those who are seeking to educate the negro, to build him up, to make him a Christian. They are the people who do not reply with retaliation, but who return good for evil rather than evil for evil.—Booker Washington. Societies, fostered by negro patronage, fall, in many instances, to serve their purpose, because they are, apparently, blind to conditions or tardy in effecting a remedy suited our needs. Every individual is entitled to the full enjoyment of whatever his efforts conceive, nor, should he be blamed if he chooses not to grant another participation in his dues. Reason and judgment should guide our thoughts in whatever way directed; and justice should be the conclusion at which to arrive. Then, whenever the negro shall have considered the blessings to be obtained by these denials, he will be more inclined to perfect organizations and develop his latent powers. The foreign commerce of Greece aggregates about $50,000,000 annually of which $30,000,000 is imports and $20,000,000 exports. The United States shares in this commerce to the extent, according to Greek of ficial returns, of about $50,000,000, of which imports from the United States constitute only $600,000. No state in the Union has had less friction between the races than Alabama has had for the past year or so. If the "usual crime" has been committed in Alabama during the past twelve months, the Advertiser does not recall it. There has not been a lynching in this state in more than a year. Lynching has been made unpopular in Alabama because of the vigorous policy of our chief executives. The crimes which usually provoke lynchings are now very rare, a fact which is also due to the awakened fear and respect of the law in Alabama. Alabama negroes, numerous though they be, cause less trouble and fewer lynchings occur here than in Kansas, where the negroes are not so numerous.—Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser. When ever a human monster turns his back upon his mother, then where ever he is seen thereafter he should be recognized as a being whose end is deep damnation, and whose presence is a stench in the nostrils of decent people. We have a few of these things in human shape in this community. They constitute a nuance which should be abated—Exchange. Spend some of your money with the enterprises of your own race. Quit acting a fool. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 25, 1883, E SINCE. OBER 19, 1912. 12. SWINGING TO TAFT SENTIMENT EVERYWHERE NOW IS TURNING TOWARD THE PRESIDENT. BASED ON SOUNDEST REASON Theodore Roosevelt Cannot Possibly Be Elected and a Vote for Him Only Aids in Bringing Democratic Distress Upon the Country. The tide is turning everywhere for Taft. The testimony to this effect is universal. It comes from New England and other states in the east, from the middle west, from the Rocky Mountain section and even from the Pacific coast. The beginning of Roosevelt's end was shown when he only polled 8,000 votes in the recent Michigan primaries; when the Republican vote in Washington last month was equal to the Democratic and Progressive votes combined; when his margins of 7,000 in California last May dwindled in September to less than 3,000, and when the Republicans were victorious over the third party in Minnesota, Colorado and other states. One reason for the turning of the tide is the realization that Roosevelt cannot possibly be elected. After his tour through the west he claimed only three states, California, Kansas and Nebraska. Recent advices indicate that even these will not be in the Roosevelt column. Another reason for the growth of the Taft sentiment lies in the fact that the country is waking up to a realization that with the incoming of the Democratic administration there would be a savage assault upon the protective system, under which the country has prospered in an unexampled fashion during the last fifty years—a prosperity which was checked only during the four years between 1893 and 1897, when the Democratic party was in full control of the government. The only way to avoid a repetition of those distressing times is to continue the Republican, party in power. Even Democrats realize this fact and that they are announcing everyone to support the Republican ticket and thus continue prosperity. The fight is now between Taff and Wilson. Roosevelt is out of it. He will be a bad third in the presidential race. At the same time a vote for Roosevelt is half a vote for the Democratic candidate. The Republican party united can prevent a Democratic victory. The only hope that the Democrats have of success is that there will be on election day a division in the Republican ranks. Republicans who were inclined to follow Roosevelt are now, however, seeing the error of their ways and are refusing to follow him into a bolting organization which has no other object than the gratification of one man's personal ambition and revenge and also the wrecking of the Republican party. Republicans everywhere where decline to be an aid to this proposition and are lining themselves up with the organization under which, for more than fifty years, the nation has steadily and safely progged- The Wilson Pledges. A fine example of the Wilsonian adulation which seems to be epidemic in some quarters was presented at a New Jersey political rally the other evening, when Mr. Leon Abbett, son of a former governor of the state, referred to the not unknown practice of Democratic politicians of ignoring or neglecting campaign promises after election, and then roused much enthusiasm with the declaration that "Governor Wilson If elected to the presidency will carry out all the pledges, with a guarantee that they will be fulfilled." The speaker unfortunately did not say just what pledges he meant, but "all the pledges." If in that phrase he included the pledges of the Democratic platform, such as they are, it is to be observed that Governor Wilson himself has potentially repudiated them all in advance with his curt and somewhat contemptuous remark that "a platform is not a program." If, on the other hand, he meant Governor Wilson's own pledges, made in his speech of acceptance, it may well be inquired what they were and are. It would certainly be an inspiring performance "to carry out all the pledges" of an utterance which contained none which were more definite than a nebula or more substantial than mush."—New York Tribune. Make It Continuous The horn of plenty is overflowing for the people of this country with President Taft at the helm. Those desiring a change; will rise. No one wants a change. Therefore we move you, Chairman Hilles, that we make the present prosperity continuous. So ordered. The New York Sun says Senator Dixon, the third term manager, reports that "the voters are thinking," and it adds, "we are unable to see how this is going to help the situation for his crowd." That is true. If the voters will think, there will be no change. So far there has been no clamor from the farmers of this country to permit Mr. Perkins of the Harvester Trust to select their candidate for president. --- M.

Hurrah! for Gen. R. B. Brown, our candidate for governor. The "Open Door" cartoon is a political sermon without words, in itself; isn't it? The Gazette is indebted to Editor R. S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender for the splendid portrait of Mrs. "Jack" Johnson given in our last issue. The shooting of Col. Theodore "Brownsville" Roosevelt was used as a tremendous bid for sympathy from the general public. This is not creditable to him or his "Cure-all" party. Afro-Americans in close congressional districts should work hard to elect Republican congressmen. We cannot afford to lose a single district. A Republican congress is needed to uphold a Republican president. About half a million Afro-American young men will be eligible to cast their first presidential votes in November, and if they are wise they'll begin life right by voting the Republican ticket. In no school for Afro-American pupils in New Orleans is instruction given in any grade higher than the eighth. The southern Democrats seem determined to keep the race down. The Democratic south has already disfranchised one million Afro-Americans. Now, many prominent Democrats in the north as well as in the south, favor the repeal of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. General Jackson said that he had sworn to uphold the constitution of the United States, AS HE UNDERSTOOD IT. Perhaps Mr. Wilson would, if elected, enforce the laws of the United States as he understands them; or as his fellow Democratic southerners, Dixon, Tillman, Vardaman, Hefflin, Hoke Smith and Roddenberry would interpret them for him; and that is just what worries our people most, these days. They do not want and cannot afford that kind of enforcement. The scope of the work of the suffrage committee of our local Federation of Women's Clubs has been extended to include research work. It desires all cases of race discrimination in public places, etc., to be reported to it. They will investigate and then confer with the perpetrators of such acts of injustice and when the case merits such action, take legal action. The chairman of the committee, Mrs. S. M. Bailey, is anxious to "get busy right away and to do something with the co-operation of The Gazette." As far as this latter is concerned, the ladies may rest assured and fell confident that we will give them all the assistance in our power. Their's is a splendid and greatly needed move. In the hall in which Col. Theodore "Brownville" Roosevelt spoke in New Orleans, a few weeks ago, there was only one person who even looked like an Afro-American and he was, of course, a foreigner. Our people (in the south) were refused admission, as they were in the Third or "Care-all" Party's first national convention at Chicago some weeks ago, by the "Bull Moose" candidate, and still he wants our votes on election day! The alleged "Progressive" party is the pre-educated white man's party, in the south, and will ever remain such, as the result of an edict issued at Chicago by "King Theodore." And in the face of this fact and all it means as a hindrance to racial progress, not only in politics, there are some Negroes in the north who are so lacking in manhood, self and race respect as to be able to support the Roosevelt candidacy and party. SHAME! In connection with the foregoing, do not fail to read, carefully and thoughtfully, Senator Foraker's splendid letter to our people, the country over, published elsewhere in The Gazette. MISERABLE "ACCOMMODATION' The residents of Central Ave. and adjacent territory, as well as the business men of that thoroughfare who do not live either on the avenue or in the territory in the immediate proximity, ought to have a series of delegations call upon Tractioner Peter Witt and Mayor Newton D. Baker and insist upon a routing of the Central Ave. cars that will at least land them in the heart of the business section of the city instead of a quarter of a mile away from it, and insist upon a different arrangement of the stops on the avenue. From E. 24th St. to E. 50th St. is about a half mile. There are other stops equally, if not quite as far apart, if not further. This may not seem so bad while the weather is good but when winter weather sets in, with its deep snows, thaws and other bad weather, the inconveniences that the patrons of that car line are now put to, will not only be aggr- vating in the extreme, but positively dangerous to health. It begins to look as if those in charge of the street car lines have taken on the notion that the people were made for the convenience of the street cars rather than the latter for the former. One sure thing, the new routing of the Central Ave. cars, the designation of stops, a half mile or more apart, and the western terminal of the line, fully a quarter of a mile from the heart of the city, will cost Mayor Baker thousands of votes next year, if continued. REMAIN IN THE REPUBLICAN RANKS! The Cleveland Gazette in its last issue announces that it is determined to follow the old Party. The more one thinks of it, the more there seems to be a good idea to have our newspapers one by one follow The Gazette's example and tell the people why. This action will be a great help to the puzzled voter who is yet up in the air. The B.B. Press, editor Chicago Fellowship Herald. The Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise and many other race publications express the same sentiment and endorse The Gazette's "stand." There is no question as to the wisdom of our action—at least in our mind. It is simply impossible, under the circumstances, for intelligent, loyal, self and race-respecting Afro-American voters to affiliate with either the democratic or the so-called "progressive" party. The former is again hopelessly in the clutches of the "solid south," while the latter has been so busy "kowtowing" to the "lily-white" of that section that there is precious little difference between the two as far as our people are concerned. Certain it is, we would be a very foolish people to commit our vital interests along a citizen's rights' line to the questionable care of either of the parties named. The republican party, at this time particularly, is decidedly the best for our people, and most to be trusted, of the three. Of this, there is absolutely no question in our mind. Do not be misled by democrats or "Bull Mosers!" "BEST AND ONLY THING TO DO." London, O. Oct. 14, 1912 Friend Smith: "Enclosed you will find P. O. money order for $1.50. Please continue The Gazette. Well, I see you are supporting the Republican party. I am glad of it, as I don't see what we would gain by electing either "tookie" or Wilson.

Brown Zanesville, O.—Ex-Senator J. B. Foraker will take the stump for Gen. R. B. Brown. The latter recently re- ceived a letter from the senator he had recovered from an indispos- tion and would speak at Bethel Oct. 5, at the fifty-ninth Ohio reunion; at Xenia Oct, 10, and at Wadsworth, Me. with the unveiling of a soldiers' mon- ument. This he has done. He also will preside at a Cincinnati mass meet- ing before the close of the campaign. COMMENDS OUR STAND And Senator Foraker's Splendid Letter ter Senator Foraker's Country How Mr. Berry Will Athens, O. Oct. 15, 1912. Hon. Harry C. S. Smith, editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I want to con- gratulate you for the decisive stand you have taken in this great national crisis of the campaign now pending. I am confident that you will any active part in politics other than vote the straight republican ticket. But I feel at this critical time there is danger, if we do not publieh, with voice and pen, ally ourselves with their own power. We must past hast been so well tried and proven for more than fifty years, and under whose administration we have progressed and are progressing and to whom we may hope to turn again for assistance and recognition in still further solving the great problems and responsibilities that are destined to present themselves in onward march. I trust that every Colored man will read and ponder well J. B. Foraker's letter of advice in reply to the inquiry letter sent him from the Baptist Ministers' Union of Cincinnati, O., and in grateful remembrance of him who so貌似 stood in his office so nobly defended and, so great a cost to himself, championed the inherent rights of American citizens, not because they were black but because they were men, read and reread his sound, logical letter. As he says I have tried to indicate to make it the duty of every loyal senator to support the republican party and to support the republican party and vote its ticket from President Taft to the last man on the county ticket, and that in this year may be fulfilled the prophecy of Lincoln when he says "that in some trying hour of the republic, the Negro might save to the republic the liberty of man liberty, to the end that we shall have both in nation and state, a government, laws; not men." I am fully convinced by years of experience that "the republican party (for the Negro) is the ship, all else is sea." I shall at this great crisis in our national life, vote as I feel to be for our best interest, "the republican ticket—from President Taft to the last man on the county ticket."

EDITOR JOHN MITCHELL, JR., President of the Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., Writes "The Gazette." Richmond, Va., Oct. 3, 1912. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor Sazette, My Dear Mr. Smith: —I certainly thank you for your kindness to me while in Cleveland. The rain upset my plans to an extent, but I nevertheless enjoyed my show in your beautiful city. I am to come again, when I have more time and assure you that I shall be pleased to hear from you at any time. Your services to the race can only be appreciated by those who have had the pleasure of watching you for a beautiful time in your life. Your principles and platform are the same today that they were twenty-five years ago. There being so few men of your type and caliber in the world or this part of the world today, you are regarded as peculiar because you are consistent. Your explanation of your support of President Taft is logical and shows that you are in this matter was reached after deep meditation. With sincere regard, I am. Very truly yours. John Mitchell, Jr. --- PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR. Dear Editor, Gettez—Soon after the announcement of the book, Paul came to Toledo and had with him sufficient material for a volume of poems. However, publishers are very reluctant to undertake the publication of a new writer's work. In the meantime I had solicited the support of Dr. Toby of Toledo, who became very much interested. The doctor and I guaranteed the cost of the publication of the book and Paul engaged a local printer and binder in the production of the book, completed a copy fell into the hands of Robert G. Ingersoll. He in turn gave a copy to William Dean Howells, the noted novelist and magazine writer. Mr. Howells prepared an article which was published in Harper's Weekly, setting forth the fact that this little book had come into his hands and seemed to be a waft on the unknown book sea. He said that the author was "entirely unknown and that he was printed by Toby and Harper of Toledo. He said that he was struck in opening it, with the picture of a Negro boy of perhaps twenty summers. He then described the quality of the verse and placed it ahead of anything that had ever been attempted in Negro dialect. Soon afterwards Paul came to see me and told of the hundreds of letters which he had received from foreign parts but foreign parts of the world. One order was from the American consul at Athens, Greece. This seemed to be the start of his re Dunbar When a Lad. markable career. I wrote Mr. Howell, asking if he could secure a manager for Dunbar. I told him of his wonderful style and eloquence on the platform. He replied, suggesting Major Pond of New York. Mr. Pond wrote me, stating that he would like very much to meet him and that he was the proper person to act as his friend, not a stranger, no funds but that if he would care for him on his arrival at New York, that I would see that he had the means with which to get there. He consented to this and Dunbar went on to New York. One can imagine with what fear and trembling a poor Negro boy must have approached the metropolis of our country. A few days later I joined him in New York and learned that he was a private recital and on asking what he thought of him, Pond replied, "Whitecomb Riley is not in it when it comes to entertaining an audience." While in New York arrangements were made by which the noted publishers, Dodd, Mead & Co., undertook the publication of the poems which we had issued, the edition having been exhausted. From that time on until his death they acted as his publishers, not only of poems but also of prose work. In my next letter I will tell you of Yours very truly, CHARLES A. THATCHER.

HOSTILE DEMOCRATS. Introduce Many Bills In Sixty-second Congress Inimical to the Afro-American People. For many years the Democrats in congress have introduced bills and joint resolutions inimical to the Afro-American people. They have been very active in the present congress. Now that they have the control of the house of representatives many bills antagonistic to the colored race have been presented to congress. Because of a Republican president and a Republican senate it is impossible for them to enact any of their proposed measures into law, but the fact that such legislation has been proposed and has in every instance been offered by a Democrat is proof that the Democratic party would enact inimical legislation if it had the power. On April 12, 1911, Congressman Hardwick of Georgia introduced two joint resolutions, one H. J. Res. 60, proposing an amendment to repeal the fourteenth amendment to the constitution, and one H. J. Res. 61, proposing the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution. On April 18, 1911, Congressman Hardwick of Georgia introduced a bill, H. R. 5.948, to prohibit in the District of Columbia the intermarriage of whites with Negroes or Mongolians. On Dec. 6, 1911, Congressman Heflin of Alabama introduced a bill, H. R. 14.680, providing that the street car companies of the District of Columbia shall provide separate street cars for white and Negro passengers. Before casting his ballot for the Democratic ticket every Afro-American voter should read the above a second time and then ask himself if it would be safe to aid in putting hostile Democrats into power. THE JIMCROW CAR. How the Democratic Legislators of the South Endeavor to Degrade and Humiliate the Afro-American. In their efforts to degrade and humiliate the race the Democratic legislators of every southern state have provided a system of jincrow cars for Afro-Americans. The laws say that the accommodations "shall be equal, but separate." As a matter of fact, they are seldom equal and usually very inferior, especially on the smaller lines, where worn-out cars, which are generally in a flattery condition, are for Afro-Americans. On the larger roads better cars are used, but the jincrow car is generally placed next to the locomotive, where the occupants get the full benefit of the dust and smoke and are in a dangerous position in case of accident. Several states have enacted laws for bidding sleeping car companies to sell berths to Afro-Americans. These laws were not passed for the reason that southern Democrats are anxious to avoid close proximity to Afro-Americans, for servants are allowed under the law to ride in the same car with the whites. The idea, which is to humiliate the race, is clearly expressed by H. D. Wilson, a prominent Louisiana Democrat, greatly interested in jimcrow legislation, who said: "It is not only the desire to separate the whites and blacks on the railroad for the comfort it will provide, but also for the moral effect. The separation of the races is one of benefit, but the demonstration of the superiority of the white man over the Negro is a greater thing. There is nothing which shows it more conclusively than the compelling of Negroes to ride in cars marked for their especial use." Democratic Promises Broken, The southern states were readmitted to the Union in 1865, after the civil war, and it was expressly provided that no state should ever abridge the right of any voter. The act passed July 28, 1868, was as follows: "That each of the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida shall be entitled and admitted to representation in congress as a state of the Union when the legislature of such state shall have duly ratified the amendment to the constitution of the United States proposed by the thirty-ninth congress, known as Article 14, upon the following fundamental conditions: That the constitution of neither of said states shall be so amended or changed as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the country to the extent that they are entitled to vote by the constitution thereof herein recognized except as a punishment for such crimes as are now歼ies at common law whereof they shall have been convicted under laws equally applicable to the inhabitants of all the states." Four of the states named have passed laws restricting the right of suffrage, and in all of the southern states the laws are enforced in such a way as to debar thousands of men from exercising their rights as citizens because their skins are black. The southern states were readmitted to the Union upon the fundamental condition that they would never amend or change their constitutions as so as deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to vote. It was a sacred obligation. Have they kept it? Can the Democrats, who have deliberately broken their promises, be trusted? The election of Woodrow Wilson, southern born and southern bred, his mind filled with southern Democratic traditions, can bring no possible good to the Afro-American. "Let us hold fast to that which we know is good." Theodore B. Green. ATTORNEY AT LAW. 508-518 Superior Building. Office, Main 3078 CLEVELAND, O. CLEVELAND, O. LYNCHING SCORED BY PRESIDENT CALLS IT COWARDLY MURDER Republican Party Has Always Stood For Law and Order—Democratic Party Has Condoned Lawlessness. President Taft Has Denounced Lynching In Many Public Utterances. In forty years more than 5,000 persons have been the victims of mobs Vardamans, Miss., has the largest number to its discredit. Afro-Americans have been lynched for such causes as race prejudice, informing, making threats, unpopularity, slapping a child, being troublesome, testifying against white persons, enticing servants away and in many cases for no cause whatever. The Republican party is essentially the party of law and order. While the Democratic party has condoned lawlessness, the Republican party has always stood for the supremacy of the law. The majority of the lynchings have taken place in states controlled by the Democratic party. President Taft has denounced lynching in the strongest terms in many public utterances. President Taft Advocates the Rope For Lynchers. At a meeting held April 9, 1912, in the Metropolitan A, M. E, church, Washington, for the purpose of raising funds for the building of a gymnasium at Howard university President Taft condemned mob law in vigorous language. The president did not mince his words, and he was greeted with thundering applause when he declared with emphasis, "The man that pulls the rope should hang by the rope." President Taft said in part: "Now, take the matter of lynching. That as well as the administration of our criminal law forms a disgraceful page in our social history." [Hearty applause.] I just think it is well to take a text on that subject. [Prolonged applause and cheers.] "Now, I know that our courts are not perfect. I know that they don't apply the law with certainty and dispatch in the criminal cases as they ought to, and I believe that part of this departure from laws as is the case in lynching and disorder is due to the fact that courts are not certain and are not full of dispatch in the justice meted out in criminal cases. But we must not attribute it all to the courts. There is among our people a disposition to forget the sanctity of the law and not to know that no civilization in any country can live unless the law is respected. [Prolonged applause]. Now, lynching is claimed by some to be justified because, as they say, it is justified only to the person guilty of one special crime that is particularly bounty to all of us. But that is not true. Statistics show that lynching is applied to those charged with a great many crimes, and the moment you trombust once and the moment you trombust requires the wolfish desire for human blood the example is dreadful to the community in which the exhibition of lawlessness is given. [Prolonged applause]. And there is not any crime. I don't care what it is—that justifies a departure from the law or the summary punishment by a mob of the person who is charged with guilt. [Prolonged applause]. It is one of the serious questions that we have to face in this country. We have not among all of our people as profound a respect for the law and the necessity for obedience to it as we ought to have, and that is part of the reason why we have this exhibition of lawlessness over the country and these cruel murders, for that is what they are. for it is no less a murder when 400 participate in the killing of one man. Ordinarily it is accompanied by a great deal more of cowardice by reason of the fact that 400 are engaged in such a crime. "AND THE ONLY WAY BY WHICH IT CAN BE SUPPRESSED IS THAT SOME TIME WE SHALL HAVE MEN AS SHERIFFS, MEN AS GOVENORS AND AS JURORS, WHO WILL SEE TO IT THAT THE MEN ENGAGED IN PULLING THE ROPE UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS SHALL THEMSELVES SWING BY THE ROPE. [Hearty applause and cheering.] Wherever it occurs it is to be condemned and rooted out, and this can only be done by developing an individual and public opinion demanding the enforcement of the law. And I hold that every one who tends to minimize respect for constituted authority and respect for the law and fails to follow it just as it is contributes to the continuance of that lawlessness which we deplore theoretically, but, I am sorry to say, at the same time we express too much sympathy with actually." Party principles have not changed. The Democratic party is the same today as it was before the war, so far as the Afro-American is concerned. The Afro-American has everything to gain by the triumph of the Republican party, the party which stands for freedom and human rights.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the la- test scientific and sanitary methods, and is designed to promote a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that what the hair be treated to grow as the result of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary environment causes the spread of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1912. Mr. and Mrs. G. Burrell Taylor have purchased a pretty new home at 2176 E. 106th St. Mr. Taylor is head waiter on one of the Cleveland & Buffalo line steamers. Recently the Buffalo Courier in a "write-up" contained the following relative to him: "There is nothing so keenly appetizing as the lake breeze and the dining room beehive of a distinct ruddy-faced waiter with snow-white hair who is the reincarnation of Edwin Booth, and bows you to a table with all the dramatic temperament of the great tragedian." The Cleveland Beneficent Association, this week, gave ten dollars to our Old Folks' Home and five dollars each to St. Luke's and St. Vincent ("Charity") Hospitals. The gifts were gratefully received with many warm thanks. This helps our people greatly with the charitable whites and institutions of this community because so very many of our people accept them. Our hospitals and institutions, promise to pay them something when well, and then fail to do so. Our people of this community ought to feel proud of this Association and rally to its support whenever asked by it to do so. The Du Bois Literary Club will give a testimonial entertainment of exceedingly high merit at Mr. Zion Congregational church, Monday evening. The concert will be under the direction of J.

Last week Thursday evening, at the meeting in Central Acre near E. 323rd St., of the few Afro-American "Bull Moosers" young "Rev." S. W. McDuffey, who is "long on claims" and whose stay in Lorain was cut short recently because of " Jim-crow" industrial school there where it was not only not needed but not wanted by our leading people, made a speech which was about half "Bull Moose" and half a plea for " Jim-crow" industrial schools. Some one ought to tell Bro. McDuffey that he is in the "wrong pew" again—taking such nonsense in Cleveland, particularly. The Gazette can and should do so. We do so to do. We have heard of his alleged claims of the death of a very wealthy brother out west or somewhere; also of his "graduation" from Howard University, but would like a little something more definite and convincing in substantiation of the same. Be pleased to have you call, Bro. McDuffey, and also participate in our antitrust school and Y. M. C. A. "revolved." * * * Mrs. D. B. Johnson of 6712 Hague Ave., who had suffered for a number of years with several constitutional troubles, particularly rheumatism, died Oct. 8. The remains were taken to Rushylvania, this state, for interment. Funeral services were held at the family residence, this city, Oct. 10, Rev. W. F. Rothenberger of Franklin Circle Christian church officiating, assisted by Drs. Craft and Greenagain. The church choir furnished the service. Johnson have been members of this church for years. The funeral services were largely attended. Mr. Johnson has the sympathy of the community in his great bereavement. He desires to thank all friends for kindness shown during the illness and at the time of the death of his beloved wife. Shortly before her demise Mrs. Johnson told her husband to call on the editor of The Gazette and tell him, "told to me some discouragement in his long struggle for the race," etc. This Mr. Johnson did, last Saturday morning. He and his wife have been patrons of The Gazette for many years. A belt feed rifle, capable of firing 300 shots without stopping, at the rate of 20 shots per second, has been invented by a Cleveland man who says that he has just received a letter from the office of the secretary of war at Washington telling him the age and the that the United States government will give it a trial. Fred M. Johnson, now living on Scovill Ave. S. E., formerly of Elyria, is the inventor. Johnson has acquired an education through assistance from college-bred men and through travel. He has been around the world, his wife and children have been while he was a valet to a coal baron. His experience also included a term of several years in the U. S. army, during which he was in the battle of San Juan hill. Johnson's new rapid fire gun is built to be carried and used much like an ordinary rifle. It is about the same weight and length but instead of the regular stock, he uses a lighter, which fastens to both shoulders, bringing the barrel of the rifle to a level with the eye. The 300 cartridges are loaded into an aluminum web belt. A small crank fitted to the side of the barrel operates the belt to the chamber, discharged and the shells ejected. The rifle has a small gauge on the side to regulate the rapidity of fire. When not in use the rifle can be folded into a small space and carried suspended from the belt.

The new breathing device and smoke protector invented by Garrett A. Morgan, 5202 Harlem Ave. N. E. was given its first test here in a real fire recently by the Cleveland fire department. Second Assistant Chief Charles Dougherty said it was found to be very successful. Spontaneous combustion in chemicals in the testing laboratory of the firefighting Lamp association at Hough Ave. N. E. caused the fire, Sulphurous and phosphorous fumes were so thick he could not enter, and he turned in a fire alarm. Engine company 17 went to the fire. Capt. Joseph Andrews saw how thick and poisonous the smoke was and he donned the Morgan special breathing helmet and rushed through the smoke to the flames. As he entered the chemical disinfecter and the fire was Morgan's new helmet is a device consisting of a canvas hood with isinglass squares admitting light. It looks like a diver's hood. It fits tight over the shoulders. From it trails a hose. Knowing that the greater amount of oxygen in a smoky room is at the floor, Morgan built the hood with the hose trailing down the wall. The scarer to breathe good air. It is said to be particularly valuable where thick fumes fill the air, like the one fought recently and mentioned above. The Cleveland fire department has five of these hoods for emergencies. They have been tried out in atmosphere permeated with formaldehyde and have met the approval of officials. Oberlin also has installed the Morgan's fire hood. Morgan says that the hood it has been tried on pronounced successful. He plans to have the device installed in hotels so that guests can use them to escape from fires without being overcome with smoke. JACK'S BROTHER "GOING SOME." Chicago, Ill.—Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist, had his brother Charley arrested here last Thursday, charging him with grand larceny, forgery, obtaining money under false pretenses and a few other counts. The champion appeared against Charley in municipal court. For the last resting place of his wife the champion selected a lot, in the exclusive section of Graceland mansion, adjoining the family lots of such wealthy Chicago families as Parmelee, Morgan and others. The grave was entirely lined with cement, carrying out a late idea. Over it Jack has had placed a handsome monument, which cost $3,500.

SUMMARY OF A WEEK'S EVENTS Latest News of Interest Boiled Down for the Busy Man. Washington President Taft signed an exclusive order putting 35,000 fourth-class post- masters in the classified service. The execution of this order will put all fourth-class postmasters under the civil service, 25,000 having previously been placed in the classified list by the president. . . . American Minister Weitzel reported to the state department at Washington that 6,900 Nicaraguan troops had been paid off and discharged, the army being virtually disbanded. He now considers Nicaragua completely at peace. The interstate commerce commission at Washington has denied the application of the railroads for permission to intervene in the express rate case. The Supreme court of the United States took up the fall calendar, on which are a number of very important cases. The capitol and the senate and house office buildings at Washington are about to get their annual baths. Each year the task of removing the accumulated grime of twelve months devolves on the fire department of the district. For about ten days two engine companies will pour tons of water on the exterior walls of the buildings. Domestic John D. Archbold of New York, president of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, was served with an order to show cause in the Supreme court October 17 why he should not obey a subpoena recently served on him demanding his presence at the hearings in the Standard Oil Waters Pierce litigation. Mr. Archbold was subpoenaed the day he returned from Europe, but did not appear at the hearing. --- The Japanese liner Shibuoka Maru which arrived at Seattle from Yokohama reports that cholera is raging much more severely along the coast of China than cable dispatches indicate.

The Atlantic fleet left New York being reviewed by President Taft as it passed out to sea. "Bridgie" Weber, testifying in the trial of former Police Lieutenant Becker, in New York city, corroborated in every detail the story which "Bald Jack" Rose told of the events leading up to and following the shooting of Herman Rosenthal. He reiterated the statement of Rose that Becker told them Rosenthal had to be "croaked" before he could tell his story of police graft to the district attorney. Three Chinamen and a white man were instantly killed and three white men were seriously wounded in a shooting array in Chinatown, New York City. Fifty persons were injured, several seriously, at midnight in a rear-end collision between two interurban cars on the Southern Michigan railway, just north of Berrin Springs, Mich. Judge Henry A. K. King of Boston says that except in extreme cases he will not permit women granted divorces in his court to revert to their maiden names and the title of "Miss." John Schrank, who attempted to kill Thodore Roosevelt, was arraigned before Judge W. B. Neelen in district court in Milwaukee and held for attempted murder, his bail being fixed at $7,500. He will not be tried until after the November election. Harry Therger and Edward Meyen were held without bail on a charge of murdering Matilda Bergherman of Janerville, Wis., whose body was found, bruised and cut, in a shack in which she and her father lived.

Judge Clark at Mason City, Ia., took the case of F. W. Haynes, accused of embezzling $13,000 while cashier of the Bank of Rudu, from the jury and directed a verdict for the defendant.

Balkan War After months of diplomatic strife for better terms, Turkey has surrendered and the Ottoman and Italian plenipotentiaries at Ouchy, Switzerland, signed the protocol of a peace treaty, which ends the war between Italy and Turkey. A Podgoritza dispatch to the Daily Mail says the town of Schleerik was demolished by Montenegrin guns and 250 Turks taken prisoners. The final charge of the Montenegrins was so furious that the retreating Turks were actually fired at with their abandoned guns. The noted Macedonian leader, Todor Lazoroff, committed suicide because he could not go to war. The Montenegrins attacked the Turks at Shronka mountain, routing them with a loss of 300 men. The Montenegrins lost 100 killed or wounded. . . .

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, C. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1912. BENNETT SENATOR JOSEPH B. FORAKER. OUR GREATEST AND BEST WHITE FRIEND, SAYS THE "BULL MOOSE" IS FLIRTING WITH THE "LILY-WHITES" OF THE SOUTH, AND THAT OUR HOPES FOR THE FUTURE ARE CONCENTRATED IN THE REPUCLICAN PARTY--THE TRUTH--HOW WE SHOULD VOTE! October 7, 1912. October 1, 1912. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor Gazette —Dear Mr. Smith, with your request I herewith send you a copy of my letter to the Colored Baptist Ministers of this City, as published in the Commercial Tribune and the Cincinnati Union. I am glad to know that you think of reproducing it in the columns of The Gazette. I do not like to take upon myself the responsibility of being 'my brother's duty' in reproducing it, as cumustures I hope it was pardonable for me to make the suggestions in this answer to the inquiry sent me. With kindest regards, I remain. The Baptist Ministers' Union of Cincinnati, O.; Gentlemen—I have before me a copy of the resolutions adopted by you yesterday in which you recite that the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt has injected into this campaign "an issue of vital importance" to you. Negroes generally are in a confused state of mind as to the meaning and effect of said issue on their race and as to their duty in the coming election," and asking me "to advise you as to what in my opinion is the meaning and effect as applied to the Negro race of the issue thus raised and the effect that the Negroes in the coming election." If you had asked me to state with our qualification the meaning of the issue you mention I should have deceived to undertake to give an answer to your inquiry, for no matter what I should have deceived, I would probably have been charged with misrepresentation. But inasmuch as you ask for only my personal opinion of what it means I presume I am safe, at least from the charge of misrepresentation. In that it means to make of the Progressive party in the South a white man's party for the purpose of popularizing the party with the white people, especially the white Democrats of the South, and thus make of the party to break up the solid support of the Democratic party by the Southern states. So understanding this new issue, as you term it, it has no novelty. From time to time of late years efforts have been made in a number of Southern states to organize among Republicans a so-called "Lily-White" party. The party is the political advocate of this movement have been to overcome the prejudice on account of the Negro, of the white Democrats of the South against becoming Republicans and thus make it possible for the Republicans to capture from the Democrats some of the Southern states. I have never had any sympathy with this "Lily-White" movement among the Republicans, because it involved the legal and for the same reason I have no sympathy with Mr. Roosevelt's proposition. Obnoxious Proposition. It does not help the matter to confine the proposed rule to the Southern states. The "Lily-White" Republicans did the same. On the contrary, it makes the preposition more obsolete, since it sectionalizes the country, and it limits the constitutional right under the constitution and the laws of the country that it is justly the proud boast of the Republican party to have conferred. Besides it would, in my opinion, be but an entering wedge to further denials of the right to vote in the South but also in the North. You have only to recall the vote in Ohio at the recent constitutional election (whereby an overwhelming majority was registered against striking out the word "white" from the Ohio constitution—a word that has been a national emblem of the actions to the constitution of the United States were adopted—to see the extent of the prejudice that can be aroused against the Negro here in our own state, where we are supposed to have outlived everything of such unworthy character. The degree of prejudice thus manifested here indicates how easy it would be to extend the denial of equality of right to the Negro of the Southern states, that is now proposed, to a denial of that same equality. The Northern states. The whole proposition has conflict with Republican sentiment, and Republican principles, and Republican achievements, and Republican beliefs, aid should not, in my judgment, be given any countenance at all by any one who calls himself a Republican. A good deal has been said recently about the battle of Armageddon. In view of this proposition, if I were a Colored man I would want to hear less about Armageddon, and more about Appomattox. Deeds That Count The greatest of all the achievements of the Republican party was the abolition of slavery and the enfranchisement of your whole race, and the planting of them on the same plane of political equality with the white people of this country in the presence of the constitution and the laws. To go back now to undo that in whole or in part is not progress, but retrogression, and retrogression of a character with the spirit by which all are actuated who are "battling for the Lord." Nobody knows more than I do or feels more keenly than I do the fact that the Republican party has not at all times done its full duty by the Negroes, who have almost without exception been so steadfastly loyal to our government and institutions and everything the Republican party has represented; but notwithstanding all such shortcomings, the fact remains that the Republican party is the only party that has actually and practically done anything to better his political status and to improve his opportunities. I need not cite any testimony to support this statement as to the Democratic party. The leaders of that party not only admit, but they justify all that is said and suggested. So far as the Progressive party is concerned, whatever they may say or propose is neutralized by the proposition you mention, which cannot be otherwise expressed. To results far more disastrous and exasperating than any one has yet suggested. Ship and Sea. Much, therefore, as the Republican party may have fallen short of what it should have done in this or that or the other instance, it remains that it is the only political organization to which the Negro can look with hope for the future. In other words, it is as true now as when first stated by the Hon. Freddie K. Jackson, that or the Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea." I regard the approaching election as one of the most important ever held in this country in time of peace. It involves for all of us the very life of the protective tariff policy under which we have had such great prosperity. It involves also the very form of our own government, a highly told tale that constitution made by Washington and Hamilton and Madison and their associates is a "stage-coach constitution," not suitable to modern conditions; and our distinguished mayor is reported in the newspapers to have told the law class he was addressing a few nights ago that our written constitution should be amended from setting aside as unconstitutional any legislative enactments. Others tell us of the superiority of the English constitution because acts of parliament are beyond question in the courts. Such talk is dangerous. For more than 100 years our personal liberties and rights, as well as our rights to privacy and guaranteed by the bill of rights that is a paramount part of every written constitution ever made in this country. All these bills of rights would be in vain if the courts were as suggested, stripped of their consti tutional power and duty to protect me in their enjoyment. Bill of Rights. In addition to these great serious questions for the Colored man there is involved in this approaching election the additional question to which you have called my attention. The tariff and stable government and bills of rights are as important to the Colored man as they are to the white man for the sake of the other. But over and above all else the Colored man has the further question to consider, about which you have asked me to express an opinion, and that question is sufficient of itself, as I have tried to indicate, to make it the duty of every loyal, self-respecting Colored man in the nation to rally to the support of the Republican party and vote its ticket, from President Taft at the head of it down to the last man on the county ticket. Very right, etc. J. D. Foraker. "WHERE WE STAND." 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 lills 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 hundreds of other lills 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 Roosevelt. Theodore "Brownville" 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 inbed with the ideals of human rights and wishing to serve their low 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 lynch-murder 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 to cast a vote for his candidates, especially its candidate for the presidency, on election day in November. The many "human life" which our people throughout this country, particularly in the south, suffer, do not materially concern Col. "Brownville" Roosevelt and his party. Therefore, race loyalty, manhood, self and race respect make it absolutely for The Gazette to leave the ranks of the white men's cause, being so eloquently pleaded by the Progressive (?) or "Third Party." Third: While the major portion of the first term of President William Howard Taft has been a bitter disappointment 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 socialized 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 Feraker. 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. Don't Overlook that subscription. If you are in acreas remember that we can always find good use for the MONEY FROCKS FOR EVENING SUITABLE FOR THE YOUNG GIRL ATTENDING COLLEGE. Need Not Be Expensive, but The Must Be of Pretty Material, Suit- able to Her Age, and Per- fect in Fit. NEW YORK.-The young girl going away to college or boarding school should be prepared for the frequent social evenings and special festivities that will surely arise with a pretty evening gown or two. These gowns need not be expensive—indeed most schools for girls forbid the wearing of elaborate and costly ralment by the students, but the gowns should be indisputably "evening" gowns—affairs of special pretiness and delicacy of color for dressup occasions, and each gown should be accompanied by a pair of matching slippers and stockings and by a band or fillet of soft ribbon, or some similar ornament for the hair. The two evening gowns described today are essentially girlish in type, with simple lines and modest decoleletage; but they are made of soft, rich evening fabrics and the colors are girlishly light and dainty. Model No. 1, as planned here, is built of pale pink charmeuse in combination with shadow or fillet lace of creamy tone. A dollar and a half charmeuse should be selected, as any cheaper quality of satin will lack the softness and richness of texture desirable in a draped evening costume. Select a very faint pink charmeuse and a creamy, rather than pure white lace, if you wish to achieve a "Frenchy" effect. Pale pink and cream are always lovely together, and deep pink with garish white should always be avoided, as the combination is perilously apt to be Dutch rather than French. Matter of Lining. The frock is made up over a soft thin lining, which may be of pink bastile, white nainsook—or of thin pink silk, if one cares to pay the extra price. Waist and skirt are joined, the fastening coming at the side of the lace panel at the back, and in the gathers of the skirt just below this point. Make the waist lining rather loose and hook it up the back. The neck is rounded out in girlish fashion, sloping away well at the sides, but being rather high and close to the throat at front and back. The armholes are large and the shoulder line long, the short, loose sleeve being set into the armhole of the lining. These sleeves are cut in one piece and should not reach over the elbow. The lace band is set at the ends of the satin and not over it, to produce a delicate effect. The lace panels front and back are simply strips of the wide lace insertion, and either shadow or fillet lace may be used. They should be laid over similar strips of the pink charmeuse and attached to the waist lining, the lower part of the lace and satin being gathered softly into the waistband and the round neck finished with an inch wide band of the satin. This band should not be cut on the bias, or it will not fit smoothly. When the waist has been stitched up at the shoulders (but not at the side seams) lay it out on paper and mark around the oval which the neck opening will make. This will give you a guide for the binding of satin. For the Lace Panel. The lace panel at the back should be hammed or faced down one side and hooked down to small, flat eyes placed on the lining. Finally, drape the charmeuse over the lining, long strips over the shoulders on each side of the panel from the back of the waistband to the front. The strips should be turned under two or three inches at the outside edge, the fold extending over the top of the sleeve. Similar folds extend over the lace panel at the inner edges of the satin strips and the satin is gathered into the waistband at the back and back and front. Tack and blindstitch the satin to the lining so that it will hold its place without showing any definite stiffness; the whole effect should be soft, loose and graceful, and the waist should suggest a loose, easy fit. The skirt is cut from a two-piece pattern, the top being of the lining material, and the skirt should be two yards wide at the foot. At the left side the satin reaches some inches above the knee, while at the right side it reaches not quite as high as the knee. This emphatic slope of the skirt trimming will add much smartness to the little costume. The lace insertion follows the slope and the insertion is not gathered, but slightly eased along, so that it hangs gracefully over the narrow skirt. The pannier-tunic is also cut in two pieces, but several extra inches should be allowed at the side seams, and also at the fold in front and back when cutting out the tunic. Gather it at the top, cutting the placket at the left side of the back among the gathers to correspond with the opening of the waist at the side of the panel. The tunic should be five inches longer than the space it is to cover, gathered slightly at the lower edge and looped up under. In Delicate Palo Blue Model No. 2 is an inexpensive little crook in the delicate pale blue color that is always becoming to young girls. It is made of taffeta, with a bodice of pale blue chiffon under a little bolero like jacket of the taffeta. A soft, chiffon weight of taffeta should be selected, and the color UNCONVENTIONALITIES. "You're a sort of forty-second cousin of mine, are you? Well, I never lend money to relatives. Close the door as you go out, will you?" "Blinks, the only things I dislike about you are your looks, your actions, and your conversation." "We'd get along most amicably, old chap, if you would hibernate in the winter and go to the north pole in the summer." "What I admire in you. Squinchley should be a delicate baby blue Shadow or Val lace will accord well with the dainty girlishness of the frock. The skirt is a four-gore model, slightly gathered at the top and measuring two and a half yards at the foot. It is trimmed with a band of corded shirring just below the knee, and the skirt is intended to reach to the ankles. Both frocks described today allow for an inch length skirt. If the skirt is shorter, a little less material will answer. The corded shirring is made a moss strip of the silk, four inches-wide, turned in at the edges over cable cord. The shirring should not be too full, and the band may be machine stitched, or sowed on by hand over the shirring stitches. The belt is also a shirred, corded band, with rosettes at front and back. The back rosette is a small round affair, finished with a covered silk button. The rosette at the front is made of loops of lapa taffeta, shirred along one edge, over cord. The drawing up of the silk over the cord, at the inner edge, gives the loop its rounded shape. This frock fastens down the center back, one of the taffeta straps fastening across a trince, under the rosette, the last thing. The bodice is made of tucked chiffon and if the tucks are set well apart and run by hand the frock will be more delicate. It will be well to mount the tucked chiffon over a little lining of thin net, but this is not absolutely necessary. Make the bodice in three pieces, a loosely fitting front and two backs, with sleeves set into armholes. The sleeve extends just over the elbow and is finished with a band of lace insertion and below this a little hem of the taffeta. Cut of the Overbodice. The only complication this gown will offer to the home dressmaker is in the cut of the taffeta overbodice or bolero. At the back this is simply in the shape of two broad straps, which are five inches wide, covering the shoulder seam from armhole to rounded out neck; but in front broadening out to form surplus crossover fronts. Experiment first with a piece of old material to get the overbodice right. Each side will require a length of material long enough to reach from the back of the waistband over the THE LADY OF THE TOWN shoulder and down again to the front of the waistband. This strip is perfectly straight at one edge—the edge at the outside of the shoulder. At the inner edge the strip is straight (and five inches wide) from the back of the waistband up to the shoulder. From this point the material widens in a slanting cut until it is at least 18 inches wide where it gathers into the front of the waistband to make the surplice. Put strings of the lace insertion across the top of the chiffon waist between the silk shoulder straps. Model No. 1, pink charmeuse and cream lace youthfully combined; total cost, $10.42. This frock will require in the 18-year size $4½ yards of charmeuse, 46 inches wide, at $1.50 a yard; 5 yards of thin lining material at about 15 cents a yard; $3½ yards of wide lace insertion at 50 cents a yard; $3/4 of a yard of narrow insertion at 20 cents a yard; three pink silk roses at 25 cents each. Model No. 2, a pale blue evening gown of girlish design; total cost, $8.88. This frock will require in the 18-year size, 5 yards of yard-wide taffeta at $1 a yard; 1½ yards of shadowace at 25 cents a yard. Pretty Home Press.
