PUT INTO PARAGRAPH FORM Everything of Importance That Has Occurred in the Past Week Has a Place in These Classified Items That Can Be Read at a Glance. Washington The United States senate passed the Norris bill, permitting the government to seize the imported goods of foreign companies violating the Sherman anti-trust law. Attorney General Wickersham is assailed for his action in holding up the Texas indictments against John D. Archbold and other Standard Oil officials and Secretary Fisher is again charged with "subserviency to the oil trust," in a brief fled with the house Indian affairs committee by attorneys for the Uncle Sam Oil company in the Osage lands controversy. The government suffered its first big defeat in the recent anti-trust campaign when the U. S. Supreme court held that the officials of the United Shoe Machinery company had not violated the Sherman anti-trust law by organizing that company. Pauline Wayne, President Taft's famous cow, will follow him into retirement March 4. The president called in Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin and gave the cow back to him. Mr. Taft believes that on Senator Stephenson's farm. Pauline will regain her youthful vigor. "The war between the states" is proposed as the official designation of the Civil war in a bill introduced by Representative Edwards of Georgia and referred to the judiciary committee at Washington. The new fiscal of disbursing and receiving all public money by check was put into effect by Secretary MacVeagh. Four hundred women from every section of the Union appeared before the house committee on presidential elections in Washington and appealed for the passage of the French bill to give women the right to vote for representatives in congress. By a narrow margin of three votes the United States senate defeated a plan to nominate candidates for president and vice-president by primary and to change the Constitution so as to abolish the electoral college and elect future presidents by popular vote. The president and Mrs. Taft gave the last dinner of their four years in the White House in honor of Speaker Clark. More than two score senators and members of the house, including most of the leading figures on the Republican and Democratic sides in both houses, were present. Notice of the approval by the Oregon legislature of the proposed constitutional amendment providing for the election of senators by direct vote has been received at the state department in Washington. This makes ten states which have approved the amendment. Domestic Three men were killed and six injured seriously, when a ten-ton water gate dropped into a trench where the men were working in Detroit, Mich. John Paul Farrell, a discharged apartment house janitor, confessed to the New York police that he had killed Mrs. Madeline Herrera by means of a bomb, and that by similar means he had caused the death of Grace Walker a year ago, and attempted the life of Judge Otto A. Rosalsky of the court of general sessions March 16, 1912. Direct taxes upon the income of citizens of the United States, whether derived from idle capital or the conduct of business, were made possible by the ratification of the sixteenth amendment to the federal Constitution. Thirty-eight states have approved it, two more than the three-fourths necessary for its final adoption. An epidemic of appendicitis has prevailed at the St. Francis Industrial school at Eddington, Pa., during the last week. Twenty-nine of the boy students have undergone operations and four others will go on the operating table. A baby daughter born in New York to Mrs. Charles A. Becker, wife of the former lieutenant, who is in the death house at Sing Sing awaiting execution for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, died soon after its birth. Secretary John B. Foster of the New York National league club stated that Jim Thorpe, the Carlisle Indian who was recently declared a professional by the A. A. U., has been signed to pitch for the Giants this season. The contract price was not given. Sam Reed, an investigator of alleged election frauds at Pittsburgh, Kan, who had been threatened with death for his part in the inquiry, was found dead, evidently from knife wounds. Governor Woodrow Wilson announced the selection of Joseph Patrick Tumulty to continue as secretary when he becomes president of the United States, but asserted very emphatically that he absolutely had arrived at no decision as to cabinet selections. A constitutional amendment for the recall of public officers was defeated by the Kansas house of representatives. Capt. Ralph E. Byrnes, a retired lake steamer captain, was shot and killed by two thieves in his home on Ansel road at Cleveland, O., as Byrnes and his wife entered the house. While his aged father looked on in horror, Ernest Daldorf, a grocer of Davenport, Ia., was shot and instantly killed by a bandit who robbed the store. Daldorf resisted the robber. An indictment charging first degree murder was returned against Ralph Hoover, eighteen years old, charged with murdering his wife, sixteen years old, at Wart Wert, O. Prisoner in the little ticket booth at the Houston street (New York) moving picture theater, where the explosion of a film and cries of "Fire!" started a panic among the 400 spectators, Ross Siegel, seventeen years old, was forced to be witness of the struggle in which two women were trampled to death and a dozen other persons badly injured. Four persons are dead, another is dying, ten are in hospitals suffering from burns or broken bones sustained when the St. Nicholas apartment house in Sacramento, Cal., burned. An explosion of oil fires which had escaped from a defective burner in the basement started the fire. The increase of $12,000,000 in the annual pay roll of the United States Steel corporation went into effect. M. Tokio, the Social Democrat, who has just been elected president of the Finnish diet, was for more than ten years a miner in the United States. Twelve federal soldiers and four male prisoners were killed and many women passengers carried off by Zapata rebels, who attacked a train running from Mexico City to Ozumba, 45 miles south of Mexico City. The assassination of King Alfonso and the principal officials of the Spanish monarchy is claimed by the authorities to have been the object of a plot discovered at Huelva, Spain. Emilliano Barral and Antonio Olivera, two well known anarchists, and Prof. Francisco Sanchez of the Barcelona Modern school were arrested as being implicated. Dr. Theodore Von Holleben, formerly German ambassador at Washington, died in Berlin in his seventy-fifth year. He had been seriously ill for about two weeks. A terrific explosion of dynamite in a hardware store at Clenfugos killed eleven persons and injured more than a hundred others. A number of the injured will probably die. The cause of the explosion is unknown. Turkey ordered her peace plenipotentiaries to return to Constantinople, a ordered all soldiers on furlough to rejoin the colors immediately. Balkan War The renewal of hostilities between the Balkan allies and Turks makes no difference whatever to the attitude and unity of the powers, according to an authoritative statement made in London. It is added that while maintaining the strictest neutrality, the powers are carefully watching events and will miss no opportunity to shorten the duration of the fighting. Bombardment of Adrianople by the Balkan allies began at the expiration of the armistice. Bulgaria has turned a deaf ear to the remonstrances of the powers against the resumption of war. Unless Turkey yields to the Balkan demands the allied armies will attempt to drive the Turks out of Europe. Personal The Wisconsin Retail Hardware association opened its yearly meeting in the Auditorium in Milwaukee, and at the same time opened a big hardware exposition. J. W. Jones of Racine presided, and reports from him and the other officers were received. Miss Helen Stallo of Cincinnati was married to Prince Michel Murat in Paris. President Taft declared that forceful public speakers almost invariably were students of the Bible. His view was made known in a letter read at exercises attending the opening of a new church building. Finley J. Shepard and his bride, formerly Miss Helen Gould, sailed from New York for Parts on the Kronprinzessin Cecelle. The Shepherds will go almost immediately to Egypt. They will travel down the Nile in a luxurious houseboat and plan to return in May by the Mediterranean route. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE.

CAREER OF HEAD WORKER AT SHAW LEADER AMONG YOUNG MEN Graduate of Agricultural and Mechanical College Shows Fine Example of Courage and Persistence Despite Close Competition In Chosen Profession—Enjoys Wide Acquaintance. By GEORGE F. KING. Raleigh, N. C.-One of the leading architects in the race and a fitting example of the kind of men produced by the Agricultural and Mechanical College For the Colored Race at Greensboro, N. C., of which Dr. James B. Dudley, the well known educator, is president, is Professor G. E. Edwards, head of the industrial department of Shaw university. He is also a most successful business man. Professor Edwards is one of the leaders of that class of young men that are making the best of their opportunities and by their ability are gaining the recognition and support of the better element of the southern white people in their work. Despite the competition of experienced architects in this section and other parts of the country, Professor Edwards' design for the beautiful $10,000 hospital, known as Leonard hospital, Shaw university, was accepted, and this hospital, which was recently completed, was built under his direction. It is the pride of the graduates of the medical and pharmaceutical departments of Shaw university. Because of the peculiar character of the architecture of the hospital it is one of the most complicated buildings he has had to design. Its heating apparatus, ventilation, silent signal system for calling the nurses and the fine sanitary arrangements throughout the PROFESSOR G. H. EDWARDS. building and every detail of a modern hospital conductive to the speedy recovery of the patients place this hospital among the best in the country. Morehouse hall, one of the best buildings for its purposes in the eastern section of this state, at Waters institute. Winton, N. C., is among the many beautiful structures designed by the quiet but progressive Professor Edwards. All kinds of five buildings for both races have been designed and constructed by him, and he recently designed a building, in course of construction at Lumberton, N. C., which will add much to the civic pride of the town. But the pride of Raleigh among mercantile activities of the race is the Capeheart-Edwards building, which is a "native ideal" for the race. One of the best modern two story brick buildings to be found in the state. It is known as the "the business corner," and it will found the Raleigh drug company, a sanitary barber shop, with all the appurtenances necessary for a modern shop; a well stocked grocery store, one of the nearest cafes in the city, and on the third floor there is a well kept hall, where the elite society people hold their entertainments. Professor Edwards designed a roof garden for this building, which is the only one of its kind for Afro-Americans in the state. It is well lighted and affords the better element of the race in the city and those visiting here a place for recreation during the warm weather. Being part owner of this building, he has given the race a stimulus. He is part owner in a $25,000 building which he designed and built. In fact, he is a substantial factor in every movement for the material ascendancy of the Negro in this section and other parts of the state. Another evidence of the appreciation of the strong character and sterling worth of the graduates of the A. and M. college at Greenboro is the recent appointment by the city council in Raleigh of Professor Edwards as a member of the board of trustees of the new Afro-American cemetery and the appointment by the governor as one of the representatives from the state at the national Negro educational convention that met at St. Paul, Minn., last summer. CHURCH PROUD OF PASTOR. Concord Baptist Giving Dr. William Maurice Moss Loyal Support. The steady progress of the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn, under the pastorate of the Rev. William M. Moss, D. D., for the past two years is the best evidence that the church made no mistake in the selection of a pastor well qualified for leadership. The pastor's New Year's gift to the members of the church and congregation was his annual report, neatly printed and bearing these words from the book of Numbers, xxill. 23: "What hath God wrought." The report covers the twenty auxiliaries of the church for the fiscal year. It gives the number of members in each, the amount of money collected, how spent and balance in treasury or bank. The Sunday school membership is reckoned at 583, with a total collection for the year of $883.33. Next in financial rank is the Dorsas Home Mission society, which donated to missions and educational work $500.92. the pastor's individual record of work is given as follows: Number of visits in and out of the membership, 454; added to the church by baptism, 96; by letter, 16; by experience, 104; by restoration, 17. The total membership of the church, Jan. 1, 1913, as recorded by the clerk and the pastor, is 1,545. The receipts for the past year from all sources were $11,390.04. Of this amount $2,512.80 was donated to missions, education and various benevolent objects. The success of Dr. Moss at Concord is all the more remarkable from the fact that he is pastoring a church which has had only one other minister during forty-six years up to two years ago. Naturally the new pastor has had much to consider in methods of administering the affairs of a congregation thus trained under one leader for so long a time. But Dr. Moss has succeeded in giving entire satisfaction, and the people willingly follow his leadership. NEW FORCE IN EDUCATION. American Church Institute to Have Auxiliary in Philadelphia. Bishop Rhnelander recently held a meeting of clergymen in Philadelphia for the purpose of organizing a Philadelphia auxiliary to the American church institute, which fosters educational work among Afro-Americans. The meeting was harmonious, and the bishop appointed a committee to arrange for and organize the proposed auxiliary. The American Church Institute For Colored People has under its supervision the following named educational institutions: The Bishop Payne Divinity school, Petersburg, Va.; St. Augustine's school, Raleigh, N. C.; the St. Paul Normal and Industrial school, Lawrenceville, Va.; St. Athanastus's school, Brunswick, Ga.; St. Mark's school, Birmingham, Al., and the Vicksburg Industrial school, Vicksburg, Miss. NATIONAL LEAGUE SEEKS TO UPLIFT THE PEOPLE. Opens Housing Bureau In Heart of Thickly Settled District. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People has recently established at 11 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, New York, a housing bureau, which is destined to perform a much needed mission in this district. The main purpose of this bureau is to furnish to the public a list of respectable apartment houses in which tenants may be assured of dignified and refined associations. This movement is a result of the clamoring of the better classes of colored people for a clearer line of demarcation between the respectable and the disreputable, for so uncertain are the tenants of the houses in which the latter class moves that it has been stated over and over again by responsible residents of this district that such provision as the league is now making is absolutely necessary. The plan of the housing bureau is simple. Lists of houses which real estate agents desire to have approved are furnished by these agents to the bureau, which after inspection and interviews with responsible individuals residing in these houses are formally certified to. Complaints are received from persons who are annoyed, and when only one or two families in a house are known to be responsible for such undue annoyance, with the cooperation of the agent and owner, these individuals are summarized dispossessed. It is apparent that only through the creation of clear moral consciousness and an advanced community spirit can such an effort prove efficacious. Public opinion, coupled with the support of real estate agents and owners, will easily bring about the desired change. One agent has testified to the fact that in the past it was lack of moral courage which made it impossible for him to get rid of objectionable families. An owner of a large amount of property in this district has said that the cause of higher rents and indiscriminate mixing lies at the door of the tenants themselves. Work of Street Manual Training School The Street Manual Training school in Richmond, Ala., of which Professor Emanuel M. Brown is president, shows steady growth in its enrollment and proficiency in its work. The students are diligent in their studies and are wont to make the best use of every opportunity whereby they may advance themselves. NATIVE OF NORTH CAROLINA Former House Physician In Charge at the Frederick Douglass Hospital Praised by Prominent Men of the Profession—Tactful and Kind In the Performance of Duty. By A. P. CALDWELL Philadelphia.—When the fifty-five permanent medical inspectors of the public schools of this city were appointed by Dr. Joseph S. Neff, director of public health and charities, in February, 1912, the Philadelphia Courant took the position that the sole Afro-American, Dr. John Patrick Turner, the only successful candidate of the race to pass the required examination, would fill the position with honor and credit. How well Dr. Turner has made good is amply revealed in the work he has accomplished in the district in which he has had charge since his appointment as medical inspector of the Thomas Durham school, Sixteenth and Lombard streets; James Pollock school, Fitzwater street below Sixteenth, and the James Reynolds school, Twentieth DR. JOHN P. TURNER. and Jefferson streets. The work done at these schools gives ample evidence of the commendable ability of this young man. Dr. Turner has done his work well. This fact is testified to by Dr. Walter S. Cornell, director of the medical inspection of public schools, who said: "I am glad to add this word of testimony by way of commendation. Dr. J. P. Turner is efficient in every way and is doing excellent work, and the department is gratified with what he is doing in successfully caring for the work under his charge." Dr. John P. Turner represents the best of our young men practicing the profession of medicine and has been a success. For the appointment as medical inspector of public schools Dr. Turner received the cordial indorsement of prominent white and Afro-American citizens. Dr. Turner is a native of Raleigh, N. C., but took his preliminary training in the public schools of New York and subsequently in the College of the City of New York. He is a graduate in medicine from Shaw university, class of 1900, which same year he came to Philadelphia and became house physician in the Frederick Douglass hospital. Dr. Walter W. Roach, supervisor medical inspection of schools of the Fifth district, in commending the work of Dr. Turner, said: "Dr. Turner is a very efficient inspector. His work is satisfactory both to the teachers and myself. He is tactful and of pleasing appearance. Dr. James McG. Hincken, supervisor medical inspection of schools of the Second district, speaks commendatory of the work of Dr. Turner, as follows: "It is with pleasure that I speak of the high grade of work Dr. Turner as a school medical inspector. He is certainly making good, and I feel that his work and its results are due to his kindly and tactful attitude toward the pupils of the public schools with whom he comes in contact." The editor of the Philadelphia Courant says he is always gratified to bear witness to the work that he is being accomplished by our young men who enter the public service, and in this instance he feels proud that our optimism regarding Dr. Turner, that he would make good, has been verified. Dr. Turner has the exceptional distinction of inspecting in two districts, the Second and Fifth, respectively, of which Drs. Hincken and Roach are supervisors, the only instance of this kind among the sixty inspectors of the city. Within the two districts he has the Thomas Durham school, Sixteenth and Lombard streets, with 1,200 pupils; the James Reynolds school, Twentieth and Jefferson streets, with 700 pupils, and James Pollock school, Fitzwater, below Sixteenth, with 600 pupils.

O. P. Bland, who is now in the United States by invitation of the Lowell institute at Harvard where he is delivering a course of lectures dealing with China and her people. M. B. H. He went first to China in 1883 and served the Chinese government for thirteen years thereafter, acting as an official in many parts of the great empire. In recognition of his services he was given civil rank of the fourth class and was subsequently decorated with the order of the double dragon. "China shows little improvement," he replied. "Armed forces of eight foreign nations guard alien interests in Peking and watch the way to the sea. The prosperous settlements of Shanghai, Hankow and Tien-tsin are administered by Europeans. The only reliable asset China has possessed for use in the European money market during the last thirty years has been the imperial maritime customs, a service under the direct supervision of foreign accountants. "Foreign control has been extended to the railways of the north and several other lines, every dollar of expenditure being certified by foreign accountants, given full responsibility by the Chinese directors. Later loans negotiated under the inspiration of German policy were not thus safeguarded, and resulted unhappily. China, therefore, is not mistress of her own house; that house is mortgaged and there is a bill of sale upon the furniture. No strong-armed man is present on the premises. "The Chinese Republic," Mr. Bland continued, "is not really a republic in that sense in which Americans understand the word. No effective republican government has been established; the quiet which now marks Chinese affairs is by no means due to satisfaction with political condi- "The most beautiful girl in Spain"—she really isn't a girl any longer, but a wife—was in New York the other day.

MARY HARRIS While a girl in Spain she had just a hundred sultons. She was at her wits' end to know what to do with them. Her parents complained that they trampled down the lawns and the flower beds and gave the old people no rest, since they were constantly importing the elders for permission to pay their addresses to the girl. Finally one bright day in Spain the girl called her hundred together. "I love you all," said the girl to her army of admirers, "and may the Virgin forgive me, but I cannot decide between you." Mr. Theodore Marburg, the newly appointed minister to Belgium, has to Belgium, has sailed for Brussels and his daughter, Miss Christine Marburg, accompanied him. A dinner was planned to have been given him at the Hotel Belvedere in Baltimore, but at the last moment it was abandoned for the reason of the recent death of the Countess of Flanders, mother of sainted for bravery and his daughter Miss Christine Marburg, accompanied him. A dinner was planned to have been given him at the Hotel Belvedere in Baltimore, but at the last moment it was abandoned for the reason of the recent death of the Countess of Flanders, mother of King Albert. The Marburg home in Baltimore has been the scene of lavish and kindly hospitalities for some years.

Republican ideas are not in the least understood by the mass of the Chinese people, and, therefore, it cannot be said that they have really been accepted. "The greater portion of China's vast population is at present quiet, because it has been very busy, gathering the greatest crop known to the empire in recent years. They are philosophers—the Chinese people. Happily engaged at harvesting, they do not take the time to go to war, and, while they have labored, Yuan Shi-Kai, the president of this nominal republic, has been modeling a government rather on the plans followed by the late dowager empress on those which Americans know as republican. In other words, he has established a new autocracy to take the place of that which he helped to overthrow." "You do not then believe 'China is awakened' or that a new era really has dawned in that part of the Orient?" "There is a Chinese proverb admirably expressing by its metaphor the real condition," Mr. Bland replied. "It runs: 'The Yellow river may change its bed, but its waters will remain as muddy as before.'" "These facts are significant: "A year ago the present vice-president of the republic advised Yuan not to proceed with the development of his republican ideas, but to seize the throne." "Yuan's execution of the Wu-chang conspirators last August was in accord with monarchical, not republican traditions, and met with the full approval of the people. In other words, the ancient despotisms are continuing under new names as fundamental features of the present Chinese government." "Then popular representation is not a part of the present plan." "It is impossible in China, and will so remain for many years to come. History and biological science alike emphasize the folly of believing that a sudden and radical change in the Chinese race can be brought about. Without such a change a true republic is impossible." The hundred cheered. "So there is only one thing to do," she said. "And that's to marry me," each suitor shouted. "It is impossible to marry all of you," returned the girl, smilingly. "So I propose this: Let my devoted hundred go out into the world. You are all young men. Go out and make your fortunes. I will marry the first man of you who returns with a competence which will support me in the manner to which I am accustomed." The devoted hundred did not wait to hear more, but made tracks for the outer world. The man who afterwards became her husband went to Cuba and, in order to win a competence first, became a banker. He returned with the evidences of his wealth about him, and the girl, true to her promise, wedded him, for he was the first.

Just fifty years old, he is in his mental prime. Not only is he the author of the various philosophical works mentioned in the little sketch of him already published, but he is also one of the promoters of the peace movement which just at the present moment is awakening so much interest in New York by the presence of the Baroness von Suttner, the woman who inspired the founding of the Nobel prizes. In one of the several "les envois" to him, it has been written that his diplomatic career on account of change of administration may be brief, but that after all it may be better, because he has so much to do here in this country, in the way of finance and literature.—Town and Country. amination that the marquis, as head of the family, has notified her that he intends of his own volition to make a substantial settlement on her.

In reply to The Cleveland, O.J. Gazette's query it may be well to state that while Hon. Ernest Lyon was correctly quoted in these columns, his remarks were in a humorous vein and evidently intended to incite laughter it had its effect. — Richmond (Va.) Planet. Yes, we suppose it did. And it had another effect. When Dr. Lyon said that he had eaten monkey in Africa when it was skinned by some one else, but could not do so when he had to skin it himself because the carcass reminded him so much of his grandfather, there was "another effect" no intelligent member of the race with proper dignity, self and race respect should be guilty of and responsible for, even to make our people laugh in the presence and hearing of a governor of a state and several other prominent white men, one a bishop. SPEAKS HOPEFULLY AND EN COURAGINGLY. J. C. Gilmer, state librarian of West Virginia, has sent us a printed copy of Governor Glasscock's message to the West Virginia Legislature, January 2, 1913, from which we take the following excerpts: "Two or three years ago, in company with the Board of Regents, I visited the University of Wisconsin at Madison and following that went to Valparaiso, ind., to learn something of how they were able to such large number of students and at a small cost, and I was fully convinced that it was largely due to the fact that they were able to board and room their students at a minimum cost. On my return home I commenced to investigate conditions in our own State and found that at the West Virginia Colored Institute they were boarding students for less in fact than at any of the institutions that we visited on our western trip. The University of Wisconsin will show that this school boarded students at $8.00 per month and made a profit of a little over $5,000 during the last biennial period." "Our Colored people have made wonderful progress since the abolition of slavery and the white man is as much interested in the education and preparation of the Colored men and women for good citizenship as the Colored men and women themselves. Fifty years ago the Negro was a slave and was taught with the white man as teacher, lawyer, farmer, and in fact in almost every trade and profession. And I believe that the Colored people of West Virginia are above the average of the Colored citizens of this country in education, intelligence and respect for law and order. They have their shortcomings, and so do we, but they are a part of our citizenship and hold great pride to every loyal West Virginia that we have been liberal in our treatment of the Colored man in every respect. Any other course would not only be a reflection upon us but a positive injury to both races." Right you are, Governor! And we are proud of the fact that our people of West Virginia have such an able broad-minded and friendly gentleman in the chief executive of our birthstate it has been a long, long time since we have noted in the message of any governor so much truth of prime interest to members of the race that is not only hopeful and encouraging, but positively helpful to both races. We are indebted to Mr. Gilmer for calling our attention to it. A PHILOSOPHY FOR 1913. I am by birth and law a free black American citizen. As such I have both rights and duties. If I neglect my duties, my rights are always in danger. If I do not maintain my rights, I can not perform my duties. I will listen therefore, neither to the fool who would make me neglect the things ought to do, nor to the rascal who advises me to forget the opportunities which I and; my children ought to have, and must have and will have. Boldly and without finching, I will face the hard fact that in this, my fatherland, I must expect insult and discrimination from persons who call themselves philanthropists and Christians and gentlemen. I do not wish to meet this despicable attitude by blows; sometimes I cannot even protest by words; but may God forget me and mine if in time or eternity I ever weakly admit to myself or the world that wrong is not wrong, that insult is not insult, or that color discrimination is anything but an inhuman and damnable shame. Believing this with my utmost soul, I shall fight race prejudice continually. If possible, I shall fight it openly and decidedly by word and deed. When that is not possible, I will give of my money to help others to do the deed and say the word which I cannot. This contribution to the greatest of causes shall be my most sacred obligation. Whenever I meet personal discrimination on account of my race and color, I shall protest. If the discrimination is old and deep-seated and sanctioned by law, I shall deem it my duty to make my grievance known, to bring it before the organs of public opinion, and to the attention of men of influence, and to urge relief in courts and legislatures. I will not because of inertia or timidity or even sensitiveness allow new discriminations to become usual and habitual. To this end I will make it my duty without ostentation, with firmness, to assert my right to vote, to frequent places of public entertainment, and to appear as a man among men. I will religiously do this from time to time, even when personally I prefer the refuge of friends and family. While thus fighting for right and justice, I will keep my soul clean and serene. I will not permit cruel and persistent persecution to deprive me of the luxury of friends, the enjoyment of laughter, the beauty of sunsets, or the inspiration of a well-written word. Without bitterness (but also without lies), without useless recrimination (but also with cowardly acquiescence), without unnecessary heartache (but with no self-deception), I will walk my way, with uplifted head and level eyes, respecting myself too much to endure without protest studied disrespect from mothers, and steadily refusing to assent to the silly exaltation of a mere tint of skin or curl of hair. In fine, I will be a man, and know myself to be one, even among those who secretly and openly deny my manhood, and I shall persistently and unwaveringly seek by every possible method to compel all men to treat me as I treat them—The Crisis, N. Y. City. THE CLEVELAND GAZETTE DOURTS The editor of The Cleveland Gazette reproduced the Herald's editorial of two weeks ago regarding the hissing of Jack Johnson by the Colored people at the Eighth Regiment's New Year's ball. Editor Smith prefaces the editorial by asking the editor of the Herald and closes it by doubting a statement which the Herald made. He says it is barely possible that Mrs. Barnet's informants may have misled her and concludes his editorial by asking another Chicago editor to pass upon the matter before he believes it. He also expresses the opinion that scapades, alleged and otherwise are most unfortunate from a racial viewpoint. Our people the country over, must pay the penalty in an increased prejudice and the loss of thousands of well-wishers, if not friends." Without waiting for vindication of her statement by the other Chicago editor who is asked to explain, the Herald editor will say that she would have felt more gratified over The Gazette editor's compliment, if he had Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett. expressed a confidence which long years of acquaintance should have engendered, by being very sure that Mrs. Barnet would not have given the positive statement as to the causes of the hissing, without veryting them. It is true she was not at the Eighth Regiment ball, but eye-witnesses to the affair were composed of some of the witnesses, and had witnessed the conduct of Johnson and his wife, but some of them owned up to taking part in the hissing, and the reasons they gave were those given by the Herald. Not only were Mrs. and Mrs. Johnson hissed at the Eighth Regiment ball, but they met with exactly the same treatment at the Chaufeurs' ball at the Coliseum Annex. So far as the race losing friends because of that expression, it has done more than any other object to win back someone. Hadpect of the Jack Johnson's conduct has lost for it. It was something of an eye opener to the white man who believed that all Negroes were falling over themselves to associate with white people, and especially white women, to realize that there were those who did not feel this a compliment and who did not propose to win back someone. Hadpect of the jury reputations among them. It was an eye opener to Jack Johnson himself, who evidently had the impression that regardless of his scandalous conduct, his money could take him to any function of Colored people to which he desired to go. In so far as Jack Johnson's liberties and rights as a man were imperiled because he was black, he was outraged and persecuted to which he was subjected, and was the cause of hundreds of other Chicagoans doing the same. Many of them had the feeling that they could not do this, lest they seem to be upholding Jack Johnson's unsavory conduct. Both the Negro Fellowship League and the Herald took the lead in defending him when the case demanded, as a careful witness, that Chicago (IL) Fellowship Herald, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, editor. We are gratified to learn from the foregoing what we did not know be fore, and that is, that Mrs. Barnett's informants were "eye-witnesses to the affair" and "some of our best citizens" of Chicago. This information would doubtless have given us the full confidence in the sources of her information we have always had in her. And yet, regardless of the care one exercises, or the high-class of one's informants, our thirty odd years' experience in the newspaper business convinces us that even Mrs. Barnett can be taken advantage of, intentionally or otherwise, just as many of the best journalists have been, in the past, and doubtless will be in the future. That she was not, in this case, may be the rule, but there are certainly exceptions to the rule; and we are free to say that we are glad to know that this is not one of them. Jack Johnson's wife is no better or worse than he is. Our good people of Chicago and every other part of the world should not tolerate white men or women, or black men or women "of unsavory reputations among them." That the man is black and champion of the world in anything, ought not to make any difference in the moral standard we set, Mrs. Barnett. With these exceptions, we are in hearty accord with the Herald's editorial given above. BUCKEYE LETTERS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS. lagher; paper, H. D.

Clarence, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, was a student of Boston, Muss, died Friday morning, suddenly, at their home, Sussex St. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of their many friends. Two little white girls in Kansas City, Mo., recently claimed that they had been slugged and robbed by Colored men, caused a local sensation, and then confessed that they had lied to cover up small thefts at home. There were two or three lynchings in last week of the year, in jail in Cumberland, Md., charged with raping an 11 year old Colored girl, the daughter of a tenant of his father. Topeka, Kan., has a similar case. Anti-intermarriage bills have passed the lower houses of the State Assemblies of Kansas and Iowa. Ohio Afro-Americans will have the same experience soon if they do not wake up and go to work against the bill. Joe Jeannette won a popular decision over Jeff Clarke of J朋, Mo. in a ten-round bout there, recently He and Sam Langford will fight in Paris where Jack Johnson is to whip Al. Palzer for "ooodles" of "mazuna." Dr. Chas. Fleischer, former rabbi of Boston's largest Jewish congregation, says he "would not hesitate to give a daughter in marriage to a Negro woman if she appealed to him deeply." Concluding and repeating, Dr. Fleischer said: "I see no reason why a daughter of mine should not be given to a Negro in marriage if each other." And he is right, too.

If you out it. If you out it." "Caucasian" blood in your veins, kick them out!" Who, worthy the name of a man, wouldn't rather have the blood of the blackest African the sun ever shone upon, in his veins, than a soul that could make such a speech possible? He was a dawn defied, lynched, is forbearance going to continue to be a virtue in the Colored American citizen? Every reader of this paper knows that if 11,000,000 white American citizens were being discriminated against, robbed of their inalienable rights under the Constitution, that there would be resistance and conflict to the death, and that they would be forced to them for claiming and demanding their rights as free men—Dr. F.

The Union Club of St. Andrew, according to current rumor, is certainly having its troubles, these days. After a "fight" over certain officials that were not acceptable to certain members of the organization, report has it, "Dode" Green's application for membership was blackballed; then the pastor and other members of St. Andrew's church interested themselves, with their own "final" vote "membership." The same report says that some of the club officials say that the vote is not regular or constitutional. Therefore, a renewal of hostilities may be looked for at almost any time, soon. The Du Bois Literary club's lecture, the editor of The Gazette the speaker, will be held, March 16. The place to be announced later. This is the lecture that was postponed because of the death of the author of the church. The club's next lecture is to be held at St. Andrew's E. church, Feb. 16. Hon J. P. Green, the speaker.

Mrs. St. John has a lovely home, and with the ladies of the club proved most satisfactory hostesses, indeed. Dr. J. M. Gilmere and the editor of The Gazette were "programmed" for a toast and short talk, respectively. The Du Bols club members and the club's staff, Mc Naughton and Biggs had toasts that were exceptionally fine, and original, too. The organization has done excellent work during the first year of its existence, and has every reason to feel proud of the same.

Tolles) with a strange outfit, intrigued to explain it, was refused after a few introductory remarks, the Alliance having enough with them. Our long-time friend, W. H. Talbert of Buffalo, writes to remind us that his birthday and that of the German Emperor (William), is Jan. 27, and to make inquiry as to the where-abouts of "one Arthur T. Abbott, a former, and possibly still, a resident of Cleveland, sixth city" (not Buffalo). The Cleveland Benevolent Association turned over to its new treasurer, Dr. J. K. Nickens, Jan. 27, 1913, $19.67. At the same meeting members reported $19.86 additional, and at the February meeting $2, making a total of $41.53 which is deposited in the name of the Association in the Cleveland Trust Co. From reliable sources, we learn that Mr. Wm. Branch's property at Hudson, was worth $2,000 with a mortgage of $500 on it when he came to Cleveland. Mrs. Amanda McCoy, recently deceased, assumed the mortgage and his care. This last she handled for eight years, which would quite cover the $1,500 property value Mr. Branch gave to her for his "keep" for the remainder of his life. The new owner actively housed in our Old Folk's Home. The above is published in justice to the dead, Mrs. Amanda McCoy, and not the living, in any way responsible for her heart-rending financial plight at the time of her death. Officers' school was held at the armory of the 24, Regiment. U. R. K. p. by Lieut. Col. C. S. Royal, one evening last week. Major J. C. Fulton, 9th, O. N. G., gave a military lecture which Mr. R. H.

Many old and former residents of Cleveland, will best remember her as Mrs. "Susie" Jordan. BIRTHDAY FELICITATIONS A White Friend and Gazette Sub- scriber Writes Encouragingly and Sets the Pace for Fifty of Our True Friends—Thank You, Sir. Madison, N. J., Jan. 27, 1913. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Dear Sir:—This is written to congratulate you upon having attained your majority:—that you have "cut your wisdom teeth" is shown by the discreet with-holding of the exact number of summers and winters you have "gambled away." The 28th of January, according to The Gazette, is your birthday. I wish you many happy returns of the day. God grant you the day and the day and throughout the year. As a birthday present, I send you one subscription (paid in advance) as a token of my good wishes. If fifty of your true friends were to do likewise it might make you feel a trifle younger and a better man than heretofore. Allow me to add an encouraging note. You must not expect, proper appreciation from the public nor from the race. I presume you are a Christian: I hope you are a churchman. At any rate, I judge you to be a noble man, a gentleman in the true sense of the word, and as such you cannot expect to draw your pay twice! If man recognizes your worth and worth and gives you the right to reckon, there is nothing left for God to do:—you have your reward! Otherwise when Christ shall come to reckon with His servants, He will reward you fourfold! Prov. 10:22. Ever, &c. (REV.) GEO. WILSON BRENT. P. S.-Please find enclosed money for one dollar and two cents ($1.50) and three cents for year 1913, to be sent to the "Colorored Men's Club," care Y. M. C. A. Scout Hall, Main St., Madison, N. J. Has Race-Respect and Race-Pride and Sense of Unmistakable Manner. Springfield, Mass.—While he has nothing against the officials of the Boston Athletic Association, personally, and has nothing but words of the highest praise for the treatment he has received in Boston in the past, Howard P. Drew, the crack sprinter, who is wanted by the B. A. A. to compete in the basketball games Feb. decided that he would not under any consideration compete there, Drew says that the B. A. A. has a notice posted on a bulletin board to the effect that no Negro shall ever represent it in any way. "As long as the B. A. A. has this rule I shall never appear there. The club states specifically that it does not want Negroes, and under the conditions I think it would be foolish for me to appear as a money bid, because there are too many races to take up my time without entering any of the B. A. A. events, and am content to let matters rest where they are." Drew beat Shepard, Meyer and other crack runners, in New York again, recently and says he has other engagements ahead which will now make it practically impossible for him to compete in the B. A. A. games on Feb. 14, with ally Craig Horn, in this country as well as in Sweden, at Stockholm, last summer, in the "trials of the Olympic games (before he was injured; a strain). MR. THOMAS J. TURNER. Something of His Splendid Services for the Race—A Strong Candidate for U. S. Minister to Haiti. We are proud to note that Indiana is again to endorse a man of the race for Minister Plenipotentiary to Halti in the person of Mr. Thomas J. Turner of Ft. Wayne. Originally from New Jersey, where for many years he was prominent in state and national politics, he was a strong advocate that many measures of great benefit to our race were put through the legislature of that state. While military Instructor in Iron-side Industrial School at Bordenton, it was largely his capable and efficient service that procured for that institution an annual appropriation which enabled it to roundabout its present beautiful location on the iron-side estate, overlooking the historic Delaware river. Mr. Turner also won a signal victory in his fight against unjust discrimination in the insurance laws of New Jersey, which compelled our people to work harder and receive lower premiums. Many other reforms of more immediate concern to the race were secured through his determined effort, such as mixed PETER H. HARRIS schools, free school books, etc. The good things accomplished by Mr. Turner has by no means been easy. Race hatred and prejudice stood ever ready to block his way, and it was nothing short of eternal vigilance and a determined purpose that carried him through to success. Believing that the opposition to a square deal was grown especially in its treatment of our people, he was convinced of better opportunities in the Democratic party, and about the time of Col. Bryan's first campaign he went over to the other side, where his abilities were at once recognized, and he was made an advisory member of the state committee, and has done other things to help the state government conditions that affect alike black and white. Ill-hospital forced Mr. Turner into retirement for a number of years, and in the meantime he drifted to Indiana. While there, the call to political action was so irresistible that he soon was in the thick of the fight for democratic principles and human rights, and took in redemption campaign for the party. Our people of Indiana and of other states will make no mistake in their hearty indorsement of Mr. Turner. W. O. THORNHILL. Renews for Two Years! Bonneville, Ore., Jan. 21, 1913. Hon. Harry C. Smith.

Mild Season ts Having Is. Eftect— Long Shoulder Line Not Entirely to Displace the Kimono Sleeve Nelda: ieee. EW YORK.—We are having such exceptionally mild weather for the season her in New York that summer costumes seem really inviting from the standpoint of home use as well as with the thought of the southern wardrobe. Wherever one turns, summer fabries are shown and summer gowns are seen. Ordt: narily at this season, they are appeal: ing only for the future, but today the gowns of voile and crepo, the dainty creations of embroidered net and all the pretty, summery costumes seem quite well sulted to the sunshiny weather, Materials in themselves are ravish: ing. Many of them are Indeed so elaborate in their borders and in their embroidered designs that only the simplest styles could be suited to thelr making; consequently, there are fa great many gowns shown that are self trimmed and a great many skirts and blouses requiring almost no labor for thelr making are exploited. That we are to have the drooping or long shoulder line has been an established fact for some time, but women who admire the grace of the kimono sleeves will be glad to know that a great many summer gowns will be made that way. In some instances, the long sleeves will be joined to the Bodice portion well below the shou! ders but there are a great many cos: tumes that show the genuine kimono model and it is so pretty and 0. gen: erally becoming that we must all be glad of the fact. Lenn Sleeve Kiet, When the long sleeves are plain ‘and joined to the bodice pertion, the effect ig much the same as if all were In one, save that the joining allows the use of dainty trimming and some. times of a shaped outline. Already ‘we are wearing long sleeves with low ‘necks for the dinner hour and it is Y bors | rm ey | \e \ J NE HEN 1 } | probable that long sleeves with round necks will make a somewhat impor- tant feature of summer fashions. Some of the sleeves are quite close- fitting below the elbows and are fin- {shed with frills over the hands; oth- ers again are gathered into cuffs or bands; and there is almost limitless variety in the treatment at the paint of joining. All the disturbances thet have been occupying the Europenu world for the past few months have ‘had a marked influence upon Incom- ng fashions. Bulgarian colors appear in a great many of the embroidered ‘effects. The simple, somewhat crude use of bright tones that is familiar in ‘semf-oriental countries appears and ‘the belted, or Russian costume will De a pronounced favorite. In Varying Materials. "It will be worn made of linen and similar materials for the street and it will be worn made of voile, crepe and all the dainty fabrics for indoor occasions. In some instances, the blouse is a genuine one drawn in at ‘the waist line by means of a belt. but often the effect ts obtained by’ the use of a deep peplum or short tunic and, in these latter, are found many possibilities for the use of bordered materials. Pronounced borders, those that give a wide striped effect or any very distinctive design of the kind. 4o not lend themselves to the double skirt with marked success but among borders are io de found delicate and dainty embroideries, the most tase! nating bits of color and treatments of many kinds that are well adapted to the kimono idea. Some of the handsomest toilettes that are exploit ‘ed in readiness for the southern exit are absolutely simple so far as cut fs concerned. A beautiful gown, for ‘example, is of white voile richly em “broldered in white and the border ap Slipp-rs of Brocade Satin. ‘The smartest thing of the moment fs the brocaded silk slipper woven with gold thread and enriched with a Jeweled buckle placed on black vel- ‘Yet.

The heels, incrusted with paste stones, are not much worn, though some women favor them ‘They are, however, rather\ toe strik- Ing to be In good taste.

It 18 very handsome The effect is almost that of an allover embroidered gown. yet the effect has heen produced -by the simplest possible means, Straight sicirts that are laid in narrow plaits are seen, too, and skirts that are tucked at their upper edges for bor dered materials are shown in interest: ing and fascinating variety and de- signers must needs use them to get the best results Vegue of Straight Skirts. Straight skirts alwaye make the simplest means of utilizing such fab- ries and are sure to be in demand but borders are not always wide and many of them allow of cutting off and are used for the treatment of variotls original styles with the result that numberless costumes of varying sorts are designed therefrom. While, in a general way, the straight lines prevail, all sorts of flat plaited skirts aro shown and there is evidence of a greater amount of material than Was used last year while combinations are new and often interesting, ‘There appears to be somewhat of a revival of the jumper idea among other fea- tures and a curious combination of that garment with Bulgarian coloring 1s found in an over blouse of sheer, white crepe with the sleeves and guimpe of the same material richly embroidered in Bulgarian colors. A very beautiful street costume of cot- ton ratine is ecru in tone. ‘The skirt consists of a deep closely fitted yoke to which is attached a straight flat plaited skirt. ‘The yoke, however, is allowed to fall over the plaits to give something of the tunie idea. There is a bodice with close fitting kimono sleeves which terminate a little above the elbows and to these sleeves are Joined long ones of crepe embroidered in Bulgarian colors, the joinifig being made on an oddly shaped line. The coat is high waisted, with the belt that ts almost universal, but it 1s much Gat away at, the front and fs sleeve- less, with big armhotes and drooping shoulders. Dainty frills of lace finish the neck and the sleeves. That Oriental Influence. Bits of richest oriental coloring ap- pear upon dull tones and upon, white as background and everywhere there fs evidence of the influence. Even the daintiest muslins are apt to give evidente of the oriental influence and ‘@ great many curious effects in trim- mings are to be noted, Metal buttons appear upon finest crepe, for example, and illuminated leather trimming ap- pears upon crepe suiting and even up- on crepe of lighter sorts, It Is a sea son of odd effects, of the unusual in many ways, but it also Is a season of much charm. A great deal of red is shown upon white gowns and red sashes are conspicuous. For the daint- ler gowns of evening and dinner occa sions, embroidered nets are much liked. = Pannier Gown of Cashmere de Sole. ‘The pretty gown illustrated is made of navy blue cashmere de soie—a ma- terial whose softness of texture makes it particularly adaptable for the sea- son's draped gowns.

HINT FOR SAVING OF TIME Clever Wrinkle on Threading Ribbon ‘or Tape Thrcugh Lingerie Worth Learning. ‘There are little time-savers, of the toilette which are worth learning, In threading ribbon or tape through ln- gerle, a wooden match makes an ex- cellent substitute for a bodkin. It ts, however, possible to do without thread- ing the ribbon at all and, when about to send the garment to the laundry, a piece of narrow tape should be tied to the end of the ribbon and the latter drawn out of the thread holes, leaving the tape in its place. The knot ts then unfastened and the set of lingerie can be sent to the wash, the ribbon being replaced on its return in exactly the same manner. In the case of those whose lingerfe is entirely ornamented with rows of ribbon-run beading this plan may save many quarters of an hour during the week. ‘eudeghi’ eh sass kode Wiicomc, Exceedingly chic little hats of white satin, faced under the brim with black, accompany white satin coats, pat: semned exactly after the mannish, three-quarter walking coat which has been £0 popular this winter.
