Titanic Sculpture to Symbolize Elements; Colossal Figures Typify Fire, Earth, Air, at Panama-Pacific Exposition. TH1RTY-FIRST YEAR. NO. 37. Copyright 1912 by the Panama-Pacific International Exposition Co. THIRTY-FIRST Titanic Sculptu Typify Fire TITANIC figures symbolizing the four elements — Fire, Water, Earth, Air — will flank the descents to a vast sunken garden in the great Court of the Universe at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Scale models of three of the figures — "Fire," "Earth," and "Air"— have reached San Francisco and are now being enlarged in the sculptural warrior form. The figure of the three, "Fire" will perhaps most appeal to the popular imagination. A polished figure, half supine, the personification of the fearful element seems vibrant with suppressed power and superhuman strength. The figure of the character is attactive. The menace of the fire is the terror to the hearts of the ancients, is magnificently portrayed by the sculptor. *EART Copyright 1913 by the Panama-Pacific BUGKEYE LETTERS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIA BLE" GAZETTE'S CORRE- SPONDENTS.

The reported speech of one Mr. Lefftish before an audience in Cleveland deserves the most drastic condemnation. The advice given him by The Gazette was very timely. The time is at hand when some intelligent plan must be adopted to regulate the collecting of funds for Southern schools. Every eight-thousandth question but it is a serious question as to the efficiency of the education that the average "begging school" is giving members of the race. Principals of these schools for the most part come North to collect money and in doing so, they invariably apologize for or indorse the unjust policy of the political South on the Negro issue. Southern schools are a failure in the South and strong manhood and womanhood. It is very unfortunate that the average principal of our schools there adopt the cringing method. We are opposed to "bullyism" and we are also equally opposed to the fawning sycophant who secures money for his school by fostering the sentiment of Negro observation and white pre-eminence. The writer taught for ten years in the South and the fair-minded American has. His position on the race issue was then as now, absolute law and a fair chance in the struggle for existence. Segregation is un-American as well as unlawful. In the business South the races are not and cannot be segregated. There are many sections in the South where the application of this principle would cause untold injury to both races. There is a problem with the fair-minded American walk on a different side of a street from that of the white youth. There is no need for any law to be enacted to regulate where any man may live. Financial standing will dictate the locality where any man lives. Those minor things which do not develop or benefit the people, should be left to the natural law governing such, and school teachers of all persons should be the ones that lead the movement of the people. The more serious blunder to have the youths of the South feel that they must not come in contact with each other. It is to the shame of the South that association of the races means degradation of the races. Let the schools build strong characters, both white, and black, and there will be no need for fences around their homes. A member of the race who advocates segregation in the North or South has no right to teach American youth. It is very sad for the race when its school-teachers create a wicked sentiment. There should be a manly resistance to wrong everywhere. Southern men respect manhood and one of the causes of the bad treatment of our people is the race has no righteous reached San Francisco, portrays another figure floating high above the world. The figure symbolizing "Water" will shortly be completed by Robert J. Alitken, the brilliant American sculptor who was entrusted with the design. The figure will be more than a score of the world's most famous sculptors assisted by hundreds of skilled artisans were engaged to create the heroic audience of white but silent figures that will be set in the great courts and upon the grounds of the Exposition. Sculpture will be more freely employed at San Francisco than at any former world's exhibition, and the figure appears in evidence promises that the world will enjoy the most beautiful and imaginative collection of sculptural works to be presented by contemporaneous artists. 1 resentment against oppression. It supinely sits down and whines but never acts in a manly way to impress others that it will not suffer wrong without protest and action. The consequence of this abnormal spirit, especially seen in our educators, is a growing inferior educated manhood and womanhood. Our schools have accepted too much of the woman's role of the South has given them. Great praise should be given Prof. Jas. B. Dudley, president of the A. & M. College, Greensboro, N. C., for his manly stand against segregation and discrimination in railroad service. He is almost alone. The average teacher may think like him, but manages to keep his thoughts within. The North should spurn the giving of one penny against segregation and discrimination in the South. Southern Negroes should remain South if they are to come North with the purpose of encouraging the cringing spirit among our people here or to give aid to any spirit that seeks to have segregation in the North. The standard of civilization and manhood now extant in the South among our men is not the standard that our Northern men admire or respect. The writer in *Southern*erner, but he does disdain the cringing truckling of so many Southern men who come begging money. On the other hand, our people now of the North do not approve of the reckless, boisterous and loafing habit of Southern Colored men. Those of our people who come North to live, or seek money for their schools, should uphold the many courage of level-headed men of the race. Stop stooping and guarding of morals in the North. Our men should seek to assimilate the best that is in this American civilization. To accomplish this assimilation our schools must be taught by capable and courageous men. If any man deserves the name of praise and renown he must win this name by competing with all other men of every race and come to his own by standing comrade with him. Teach the Southern Colored boy and girl that they are as good as any others if they meet the requirements of civilization "THE SPRITE" "THE ALASKAN" (Rev.) WM. A. BYRD. DISAGREES WITH LEFTWICH. Mr. John C. Leftwich, Dear Sir—Being one of the audience at the Second Presbyterian church, I heard two words you had learned since coming up north. The words in question: "separationist" and "segregationist". Words that may be found in your vocabulary Some, but not many. In question the veracity of those in the church that night. I would inform you that the veracity of any in attendance that evening will stand the test as well, if not better than yours. If you say the same was not spoken by you that evening, then you handle the truth carelessly. Ushers not digregate any of our people, and we were free to take actions. We may not have to may "that the race's interest at heart", but I think, as many others do, that more harm is being done than good by your talks here, and that foremost in your mind is what you can get, financially, for yourself or for your school WM, M.

Even today an idea may be gained of the picturesque effect of water, flowers, trees, contrasting with great domes and peristyles. In the Exposition hothouses are more than 500 tree forms brought from Australia. These are from twenty to forty feet in height. Rhododendrons have been brought from form Australia. England and India and banana plants from Central America. The grounds will present the appearance of a semitropical paradise. THE NEW YORK EXHIBITION 8 The photograph above shows the huge Palace of Education as viewed from the lagoon before the Palace of Fine Arts. The great size of the structure may be inferred from the fact that the windows of the palace (picture) is 160 feet above the floors of the building. The photograph below shows one of the exquisite panels for the Palace of Fine Arts by Bruno L Zimm. The landscaping of the Exposition Hall is marked by striking effects. It is planned that the grounds shall not be for a single day without their vast blaze of floral color. The flowers will be set in great massed banks, and plants whose blooming season is past will be replaced by others. of the Panama- at San Fran- first Time.

SEVERAL groups of statuary typical of the best work in American sculpture have been enlarged in the studios of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition and now are displayed for the first time. The figures are majestic in size and are distinguished by the imagery and vigor of the first models for the exposition which were shown to the public. Three famous sculptors-Frye, Jaegers and Roth-have each contributed additional figures to the Exposition sculpture. Frye has modeled the figure of the cartouche over the entrance to the Festival Hall and the two reclining figures on the pylons. Jaegers, in addition to executing the "Harvest" group, has sculptured the group "Nature," the statues of "Rain" and "Sunshine" and the figure of the bull, all in the Court of the Four Seasons. Several of the freizes and spandrels in the same court are also his work Frederick G. R. Roth, besides sculpturing the Asian sculptures in the West and collaborated with Leo Lentelli in the execution of the group of the Nations of the East that will surmount the opposing arch in the Court of the Universe. The two great groups that surmount these lofty arches, each rising 160 feet above the earth, are the most imposing sculptural features of the entire Exposition. In the "Nations of the East" the central figure is a huge sculptured elephant with a howdah and on either side are horsemen of the Orient and camels with their riders. Tall falconers march beside them. In the "Nations of the West" the central figure is appropriately a "Pierre Schoneck" with plainman and Indianriders. The man is powerful and virile and exemplify the Indomitable courage and will of the Men of the West—the spirit that made the completion of the Panama Canal, which the Exposition is held to celebrate possible. --- One Year.....$1.50.

HE "RAISED SOME MONEY". Cleveland, March 30, 1914. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Dear Sir:— I am indeed very sorry, I didn't think of inviting you to hear me speak yesterday (Sunday) in the First Untarian church (white), located on Euclid Ave. I addressed nearly one thousand people, and had you been present, I am sure you would have agreed that my speech wasn't detrimental or a moment of the Negro race. Fortunately the manager, or one of the proprietors, of the Hippodrome of your city, was present. I certainly raised some money there. Respectfully, John C. Lewich. We, too, are sorry Mr. Letwill does not afford the editor of The Gazette an opportunity to hear him speak. If he will do so, we could then satisfy ourselves as to whether, or not, he advocates segregation as charged by all of our people, we have met, who heard him at the Second Presbyterian church (white), on a recent Sunday evening. PRESIDENT DUDLEY RIGHT! President James B. Dudley, of the A. & M. College, Greensboro, N. C. calls attention to the columns of letters from officials of southern rail roads, to Dr. Booker T. Washington, relative to accommodations being given our people, being published in many of our papers, and very perti nently says: We are equally satisfied that Dr. Washington is in error if he is expecting to accomplish much results from his advice that the Colored peep take up the matter with the rail road officials. For some years we have been deceived by the company who has received a similar letter from the late President Finley as that written to Dr. Washington. The late President Finley of the Southern Railway, and also the present President Harrison, both have written letters explaining that "the policy of the company" is to give fair and equal treatment to all. In fact, the "policy" of the railroads is simply beautiful; but as we wrote President Finley and have written President Harrison, it is not the policy of the railroads that we want. What we want is the protection of our lives, the comforts and safety guaranteed under the law. President Dudley then proceeds to call attention to what our people of Hopkinsville, Ky. have done in their effort to solve this problem for their section of the country. They have had the railroads indicted for violation of the "equally-good-accommodations-for-Colored-persons" jim-crow car law. He shows that action of a somewhat similar nature is necessary in the other states of the South if the rights and conveniences guaranteed even in their "jim-crow" car laws are to be secured, and he is right. All honor to President Dudley for his manly stand—out in the open. This is done far too seldom, even in these days, by our leaders, great and small. WHERE THE "BLUNDER" IS. Most people will condemn Senator Borah's putting of women's suffrage in the same class with Negro suffrage and disagree with his denunciation of the fifteenth amendment as a "blunder." Say what we may, Negro suffrage has been and is a racial question, whereas women's suffrage is not. The "blunder" as to the fifteenth amendment is not as to its enactment, but as to its enforcement. Under the law, Negro suffrage has been disfranchised in a large part of the nation, in defiance of the constitution When special privilege has been driven to the last ditch, when injustice has found itself on its last legs, when any movement for the general good has seemed probable of accomplishment, this "states rights" obsession has always bobbed up as a barrier to progress. So long as human slavery was considered a question of states rights, there was human slavery in these United States, and, after 90 years of such foolish obsession, it took a bodyyweddy war to weaken it, we could not live as a nation with men, their wives and children chattel property in Kentucky and human beings in Ohio. The republic must be a republic entity. The foundation of a republic is the consent of the governed, nothing else. Anything else is monarchy, or anarchy. Distranchisement of the Negro, such as we practically have in several states, is rebellion. It is based on racial prejudice and is, finally, wholly unjustifiable. The opposition to women's suffrage is based on sex prejudice. Taken as a whole, our best citizens and best patriots are women. The question as to whether women shall be free, politically, is not a question between Uncle Sam and Alabama, but between God and man, but was that question settled in blood six fifty years ago—Cleveland Daily Press. The foregoing is good in the main, but it is not entirely correct. U. S. Senator Borah was condemned for cowardly and unjustified denunciation of the fifteenth amendment to the U. S. constitution and for his unAmerican and slighting reference to Negro suffrage, and not because he "placed woman's suffrage in the same class with Negro suffrage." This denunciation not only is a "blunder," but a positive insult, not only to our people but to American suffrage generally. Coming from a republican U. S. senator, but added to the gratuitous and grievous insult. There was not only no justification of the same, but it was positively unnecessary and inexcusable. Then, too, if Negro suffrage is a "racial question," "woman's suffrage" is but a "sex question." This, how ever, does not impair in the slightest the importance of either, as the Press statement is likely to impress one. The danger and folly of the south's continued insistence upon general recognition of its "states rights obsession" was recently illustrated to the satisfaction of all when the governor of Texas defied the federal government in arbitrarily sending that state's "Rangers" on to Mexican soil for a purpose purely local, instead of permitting the government at Washington to handle the matter without interference upon the part of any state of the Union. The act might have embroiled this country in a war with Mexico. The disfranchisement of approximately a million Afro-Americans by the south, in defiance of the fundamental law of the land (U. S. constitution), is "rebellion", pure and simple, as the Press says, and is "wholly unjustifiable." For this, our government is responsible because it fails to enforce the U. S. constitution in said rebellious southern states and in so doing wipe out disfranchisement. This it will not do, however, until the true American spirit forces it to do so. When this comes to pass, woman suffrage in every state in the Union will have been attained, or will be comparatively easy to secure in the few remaining backward states, south or north. However, whether women shall be free politically, is no more a "question between God and man" than the question of "Negro suffrage" in the South. DREW EQUALS BEST RECORD. The Great Young Afro-American Sprinter Does_100 in 9.3.5. New York City - James E. Stullman, secretary of the Amateur Athletic union, on Saturday made public a letter from William Unnack, vice president of the Pacific coast association, in regard to the record recently made by Howard Drew, the little Afro American spinner who formerly ran for Springfield, Mass., high school Drew is now a student at the university of Southern California. In a dual role, he won a 100-yard dash and was timed in 9.35s. Mr. Unnack says that Drew beat Bradley, who is a consistent 10.15 man, by six yards; that there was no wind to hinder him and that the start was perfectly equal according to the rules. The record committee will undoubtedly allow it as a new mark. Drew's new record equals that made by Dan Kelley. * * * We can even foresee the day in Ohio when the forces of Armageddon will consist of a solid phalanx of two, the politically anaemic digits of the American draped in the fine Italian hand of Walter Brown—Cincinnati TimesStar. THE MARTYR, JOHN BROWN'S Farewell Letter—The Grand Old Man Was held, but Proud of the Grand Old Man Tabor, Ia.—The farewell letter which the martyr, John Brown, wrote just a few days before he was hanged at Harper's Ferry, Va., has been discovered among the papers of T. H. Read, a relative of the Brownns, who lives here. Tabor was once the temporary home of John Brown, and was one of the stations on his "underground railway" between the slave states and Canada. The letter, which has just been found, shows the religious faith of Mr. Brown and the manner in which he regarded his coming death. It was written 13 days before he was hanged, and was addressed to his cousin, Rev. Luther Humphrey, in New York city, Mr. Humphrey died years ago. At the date of the writing Mr. Brown was confined in the jail at Charlestown, Va. He had already been tried on a charge that he had been found guilty was condemned to be hanged. His attack on Harper's Ferry occurred on Oct. 16. His capture followed on Oct. 18, and on Oct. 27 he was tried and found guilty. Execution of the sentence took place on Dec. 2. So far as known this is the last letter he wrote: "So far as my knowledge goes as to our mutual kindred, I suppose I am the first since the landing of Peter Brown from the Mayflower, that has either been sentenced to imprisonment or to the gallows. The fact that a man dies under the hand of an executioner, or otherwise, has but little to do with his true character, as I suppose. Whether I have any reason to 'be of good cheer' or not, in view of my end, I can assure you that I feel so, and that I am totally blinded if I do not really experience that strengthening and consolation you so faithfully mortified, degraded, nor in the least ashamed of my imprisonment, my chain nor of my near prospect of death by hanging. I feel assured that not one hair shall fall from my head without my Heavenly Father knowing it. I also feel that I have long been endeavoring to hold exactly 'such a part' as God hath chosen. I should be 60 years old should I live to May 19, 1860. I have enjoyed much of life as it is, and many blessings, and have been remarkably prosperous, having early learned to regard the welfare and prosperity of others as my own."

THAT "JIM-CROW" HOME In Cleveland and the Parihãs of India —A Warning for our "Smoky City" Conferences—Long Live "The Gazette." Washington, D. C., April 6, 1914. My dear Mr. Smith: I have read carefully the articles in The Gazette telling of your most recent work—opposing the establishment of that "jim-crow" Children's Home in Cleveland. You and The Gazette have done and are doing a noble work for the best interests of the race. I now see clearly that we must oppose with all our might, any further efforts to separate or segregate us, for segregation or elimination of death to us, or worse still, color-crime, country, and if any one wants to know where a color-caste will very soon land us, let him read in any encyclopedia about the pariads of India. Dr. S. M. Davidson, a very fine man by the way, has recently been called from Washington to the superintendency of the Pittsburg schools. I hear there is a movement on foot there to have him start some Colored schools. If you know the editor of our paper, you will be able to make him see this matter as you and I do and oppose it with all his might. Mrs. Hilly wishes to be kindly remembered. We both hope you will live long to continue the fight for the race. Very sincerely yours, Andrew F. Hilly. **Income** is $1,320,000.

L. Ricks as principal. The latter was graduated from the University of Minnesota, where he finished the collegiate and law departments. After practicing law in Great Display In Liberal Arts. THEOODORE HARDEE, Chief of the Department of Liberal Arts for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915, is addressing letters to the principal manufacturers of the United States in the various industries classified under his department, inviting their participation as exhibitors. The Liberal Arts rank high in the Official Classification because they embrace the Applied Sciences, which indicate the result of man's education and culture, illustrate his tastes and demonstrate his scientific attainment, inventive genius and artistic expression. They comprise fifteen groups, divided into 121 classes and cover the equipment, processes and products of these activities. Typical Expositions Processes Books and Pharmaceutical Books Binding; Maps and Apparatus For Geography, Cosmography and Typography; Manufacture of Paper; Photography; Instruments of Precision, Philosophical Apparatus, Coins and Medals; Medicine and Surgery; Chemical and Pharmacal Arts; Musical Instruments; Theatrical Appliances and Equipment; Electrical Methods of Communication; Civil and Military Engineering; Models, Plans and Designs For Public Works; Architecture; Architectural Engineering. In his invitation Chief Hardee is emphasizing the national character and international significance of the 1915 Exposition as well as the splendid opportunity afforded these manufacturers for a comprehensive display of their products which live, working exhibits would prove especially interesting and attractive. He has also dwelt upon the fact that the exhibits at this Exposition must be SELECTIVE in character, because of the comparative limitation of space. A THEODORE HARDEE, CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT OF LIBERAL ARTS. due to the world's more extended productivity and the wider participation than at previous expositions. In view of this situation and as there is no charge for exhibit space, he has suggested the advisability of filing applications for space without further delay. The rules of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition confine these applications from the various industries to MANUFACTURERS only, and he is seeking the active co-operation of the press of this country toward inducing thoroughly representative American displays in the Department of Liberal Arts. He aims to have the manufacturers suitably represented at this important celebration of the opening of the Panama Canal—an event that means the inauguration and development of entirely new and profitable avenues of commerce, the extent of which it is impossible to overestimate. The Chief appeals to the patroltion of the manufacturers in helping to insure the success of our country's great celebration and believes that in doing so they will at the same time maintain a suitable position their great industries occupy in the comment of the world. As far as possible, the Palace of Liberal Arts will be filled with working exhibits, showing processes as well as products illustrative of the skill and ingenuity of man. As in all other Departments, exhibit space will be free in the Palace of Liberal Arts. Exhibitors are, in return, required to transport their exhibits to the Exposition, erect suitable booths for their installation and properly maintain their displays throughout the nine, and one-half months comprising the Exposition period. Already the applications for exhibit space have far exceeded the amount available in this department. This permits selection of only the most desirable exhibits, so manufacturers of unusually fine products need not hesitate about sending in applications for exhibit space, which will receive the most careful consideration when the allotment of space is made. The preliminary will probably be made on February 20, 1915, the time for preparation is comparatively short. It is highly advisable, therefore, to make applications without delay, as allotments will be made only from those on file.

History of the Backward Step—How it Will Close Several Public and Charitable Institutions to Our People. An entertainment given at the "jim-crow" Mt. Pleasant "Industrial School," in November, 1913, netted $17. This all but precipitated a fight between several of its officials, at least two of whom wanted "that money." Now the "school" has been turned into a "Children's Home" and elaborate preparations are being made to get money. There is no need of a "jim-crow" Home of the kind in Cleveland and our people should not waste their money by contributing or giving to this movement. We should stamp or starve it out just as soon as possible. —The Gazette, Jan. 10, 1914. That "jim-crow" Industrial School effort, in M. Pleasant, has proved such a miserable failure, just as it should, that the promoters are now endeavoring to turn it into a Children's Home for the segregation of our dependent and other children. The city and county have been caring for these without any discrimination on account of race or color, should continue to do so, and will, if this latest "jim-crow" effort is promptly throttled as it should be. We understand that Dr. E. A. Smith, and a Mr. Thaxter Eaton, of the Cleveland Humane Society, and T. C. Wellsted, an assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, are the whites encouraging the local Afro-American promoters of the "jim-crow" Children's Home. Again we call the attention of our City Federation of Women's Clubs, our Ministers' Alliance, and all intelligent and sensible people to this latest, miserable segregation effort.—The Gazette, Jan. 10, 1914. For some time we have been quietly investigating the persistent effort, extending over several years, of a man, a member of the race, to establish first, a "jim-crow" industrial school in this city, and when that failed, to start a "Children's Home" that his latest effort—and find that his underlying motive is to establish something that will occupy a house which he owns in a suburban section of the city, known as Mt. Pleasant, and for which he is now receiving $25 or more per month. He has apparently drawn to his assistance three or four white persons who are aiding him to foist this unnecessary segregation outrage on our people of this community. At what a loss to them, it is almost impossible to state in words, so far reaching, in its baneful effect, is the projected effort. There is one encouraging feature, however, and that is the fact that the promoters of the "jim-crow" Mt. Pleasant Children's Home are to hold an "open meeting." They have effected a temporary organization only. Tuesday, January 13, 1914, Mrs. Hattie Fairfax and Mrs. Blanche Gilfere, president of the City federation of Women's Clubs, accuse the organization of the theft. The Gazette visited the alleged home in E. 126th St. (Mt. Pleasant), and found a condition there that beggars description. It is a disgrace to our people 'of this community which should be wiped out instantiate. Those in charge of the affair have gotten out "certificates" with which they hope to beg money from not only our people but from all who can be invigued into giving. Do not contribute to this latest segregation effort. We found among the half dozen or more children at the alleged home, several whom the woman in charge said were secured from the Cleveland Orphan Asylum in St. Clair Ave. an institution that for many years has willingly well cared for ourphan children in common with those of all other classes. Those at the Mt. Pleasant "home" (like the place itself) were dirty, ragged, their hair unkempt, etc. There is absolutely no excuse for a "jim-crow" institution of the kind in this city at this time. Then the orphans, dependent and bad children, are huddled together there in a few rooms when there are a half dozen well equipped institutions, like the Cleveland Orphan Asylum in St. Clair Ave., the detention homes for boys and girls and others, which have in the past and will continue to properly care for those classes of our children if we do not make the mistake of permitting the establishment of a "jim-crow" home such as the projected Mt. Pleasant "home" claims to be. Will our best people of this community continue to sit still and let this thing go on? If so they will be further please (?) and gratified (?), are many months have elapsed, by seeing established right here in Cleveland separate schools for their children and "jim-crow" street cars for them. For that is what this sort of thing leads up to. Segregation in one thing, in any community, means segregation in other things. The two detention homes in this city, for boys and girls, are soon to be supplemented by a large one which Juvenile Judge Addams, Sheriff Smith and others are working for. It is this and other local institutions, supported by the tax-payers' money and charity, that prejudiced white persons hope to keep our children out of by the establishment of a "jim-crow" home such as that projected "home" in Mt. Pleasant which "jim-crow" Negroes are trying to help them establish. SHAME, O, SHAME! MINISTERS' ALLIANCE PROTEST! Denounce the Alleged "Mt. Pleasant Home" As Segregation, As Undemocratic, Un-Christian, An Entering Wedge of Jim-Crowism, As Retrogradation and a Wide Step Backward. Mr. President and Brethren of the Collected Mitjators' Alliance. We are committed to in- firmance. We have received an award Jan. 20th, 1914, to investigate the alleged organization of a Home EXCLUSIVELY FOR COLORED children, beg leave to submit the following report: 1. We find that the home on E. 126th St. is a private enterprise and has no affiliation with Chas. E. Stewart. Relative to the care of the children or condition of the same, we express no opinion, and make no commendation since the institution is private, or, at the most, quasi public. 2. We find that a public home for Colored children, exclusively, has been projected, and a tentative organization has been formally formed of officers elected, a membership fee decided upon, and membership blanks printed 3. We also find that this proposed institution has the endorsement of Dr. E. A. Smith and Mr. Thaxter Aton of the Cleveland Humane Society, and T. C. Wellsted, assistant secretary of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. 4. Our committee, do hereby enter our most earnest and vigorous protest against the establishment of such an institution, for the following reasons, to wit:— Ist—There is absolutely no necessity for such an institution. The city, the county and the state have made provision for all of its dependent children, without regard to race, color, or previous conditions. 2nd—The multiplicity of such institutions simply increases the public burden and must, ultimately, lead to the increase of taxation, now already heavy. 3rd—The initiation of such an institution will inevitably lead to the displeasing undemocratic and unchristian segregation and therefore, become the target of cynicism, so detestable to all self-respecting Negroes, the world over. 4. Such a step is plainly and unmistakably retrogression, a wide step backward toward slavery and proscription, and a practical annihilation of the principles fought for, and obtained at the cost of much sacrifice, privation and bloodshed. 5. We are an English speaking people, thoroughly American, loyal to every interest in our government, and firmly in that perfectly democratic principle so long enunciated by Dr. Lyman Abbott, and our own Dr. Washington Gladden—"The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." We, your committee, recommend that this Alliance reaffirm its former declaration, that the only institutions and organizations, of color, in the city of Cleveland, soliciting from the community that we endorse it: The Home for Women and Children, The Phyllis Wheatley Association, and The Cleveland Renewal Association. The above report was unanimously adopted by the Ministers' Alliance, Tuesday, Jan. 27, 1914. THAT ALLEGED "HOME." Hon. H. C. Smith, Blackstone Building, Cleveland.

As a result of Judge Addams' and Sheriff Smith's urging, the county commissioners are planning a large detention home for boys and girls, the boys' detention home on the west side and the one for the girls on this side of the city, being inadequate to meet the demand. An agreement with the Salvation Army Rescue Home and The House of Good Shepherd, in addition to the detention home at 2333 F. 43d St., are not sufficient to provide places for girls. Pending arrangements for a permanent and large detention home for both boys and girls. KING OF ALL HAIR TONICS. Straightens Kinky Curly Hair.

This is at least the view expressed by Bishop William H. Heard of the African Methodist Episcopal church, who returned to his home in Philadelphia after six years' residence in the republic of Liberia. Bishop Heard was United States minister resident and consul general under Presidents Cleveland and McKinley from 1895 to 1899. It was during these years that he became convinced and strongly advocated that the best way to solve the problem of race antagonism in this country was the deportation of the American negroes to Liberia. Of this fact he is equally sane today, and he claims his idea is strengthened by the rapid growth and progress made by the people of Liberia along educational and Christian development. The object of the present visit of Bishop Heard to this country is to complete plans for the establishment of a large and more thoroughly equipped industrial school modeled after the one of which Booker T. Washington is the head at Tuskegee, Ala. In speaking of his plans, Bishop Heard said: "After years of contact with the native African, what he needs most today in order to civilize him is not so much Bible theory as practical manual training and to be taught the dignity of labor. Liberia has a population of 2,000,000 natives, foreign-born negroes from America and the West Indies included in this number. Thirty thousand are civilized and about 52,000 semi-civilized. "For an industrial school like that of Hampton or Tuskegee no race appeals so strongly to the Christian world as the natives of Africa for this sort of aid—Christian education—and to no people do they make this appeal with so strong a right as to the Afro-American. No race was ever so plainly marked to help the natives of Africa. God never more plainly designated two chasses to march together hand in hand to the working out of their own destiny. "The longer the conversion of Africa is delayed, the harder and slower it will be in the end for the church of Christ to do its best and most effective work. Hence I deem it our duty here in America to do that work. The natives of Liberia less than a century ago were like the aboriginal Indians in America. "Civilization may mean either his continued enlightenment or ruin. The only thing that can save him is Christianity and industrial education, and this is what is intended to be given the native African in the industrial school, which has already been established at Freetown, in charge of Rev. Harvey C. Knight, an Afro-American, graduate of Lincoln university. "The school, although under the management of the African Methodist Episcopal church, is being encouraged and receiving some little support from the Liberian government. The school is an absolute necessity. We are training the natives to become instructors, for they have an advantage in teaching the African, as there are several dialects spoken which are difficult for the foregiver to master intelligently. This, you see, is an advantage outside missionary workers, and to this difficulty the native is the key." The best thing to do is your best. It is a fine thing the negro leaders in Kansas City are undertaking in bringing together their various charities in a federation. The charities which they sustain are highly creditable to the energy and self-sacrifice of the colored people themselves. There is very great need for all these institutions. Much of the work they do is preventive in character. Consider, for instance the wholesome effect of the domestic science school which Mrs. T. H. W. Williams has instituted in her own home, which has trained 368 negro girls. With the various organizations federated, so they can avoid duplication of effort and co-operate more effectively, their efficiency and influence in the community must be greatly increased.—Kansas City Star. The highest determined point in Florida is M. T. Mpleasant, 302 feet above sea level, according to the United Geological Survey. The approximate average elevation of the state is 100 feet above the sea. In England there are at least three farms devoted to the cultivation of butterflies and moths. Henry Clay Folger, Jr., is said to have one of the finest collections of Shakespeariana in the United States. He recently became the owner of the late Sir Edward Dowden's Shakespearean library, comprising some two thousand volumes. Book collecting is Mr. Folger's avocation; in the business world he is known as the president of the Standard Oil Company of New York. The wife of an old soak rarely seems to realize that others are wise, too. Mrs. Kate Penner and Gertrude Pendel, English nurses connected with the Constantinople hospital, have received Red Cross medals from the German emperor for gallant service during the Balkan war. The United States has more than six million factory employees and 1,600,000 railroad employees. Mrs. Jackson Gouraud has started for the Egyptian desert on camelback to seek material for a $5,000 prize fete. While the colored people of the Chesapeake basin are gradually growing into a landed class, even many of the landless majority have acquired personal property of various kinds. Some own their village homes, and it is believed that about half the colored farm laborers in Delaware own horses and carriages. In the bargain grump for wages between the white farmer and the colored farm laborer, it is a very common thing for the farmer to undertake the feeding and housing of the laborer's horse at a charge of about $2 per month to be taken out of the wages, which may be from $20 to $25 a month, with board and lodging. On Saturday night the colored people crowd into the Delaware villages, many of them bringing their wives and children in their own conveyances, and making purchases for the week to come. There are few regions in the United States where comfortable living is so cheap as it is in the tidewater area of the Chesapeake basin. Here for 6,000 or 8,000 square miles all the inhabitants are within easy reach of perhaps the richest waters in the world. Fish, oysters, clams and for much of the year aquatic game birds of many kinds, to say nothing of the muskrat, sold for food as "marsh rabbit," are amazingly plentiful, while employment in the industries dependent upon the tidal waters is almost continuous and extremely well paid. How big the negro department, or Nashville institute, is likely to bulk in the regeneration of the South is plain when we realize that negro churches have to date absolutely divorced religion from social service, writes Mary Bronson Harit in the Boston Transcript. A negro theological student gets Greek and Hebrew and systematic theology enough to enable him to shine as a professor in a divinity school; but not one hour's training is given him in sociology, public hygiene or any topic fitting him to deal with the acute problems of the salvation of his race. Two negroes die of preventable disease for every white man. Yet the religious leaders of the people have made no capital of "Cleanliness next to godliness." The social clinic of Nashville Institute sends its students into the field as a part of their course. A kindergarten and milk depot are maintained at the school, and students of nursing, sanitation and home economics go out into the negro quarter to study and to help. In a recent lecture was shown a significant photograph of a negro hovel of the worst ramshackle type, set in a villy insanitary dooryard, so close under the shadow of the finest negro church in Nashville that the beautiful stone tower fills the background of the picture. In the dooryard stands a negro student from the new school for negro workers, himself a clergyman, dramatically dissertating upon the sanitary dangers of rubbish and urging the reformation of the cluttered dooryard. For years the church had looked down serenely on that hovel, satisfied with emotional fervor and quite unaware of its criminal neglect of life. Gathering and selling acorns is a new industry in Arkansas to supply eastern nursery firms with material for forest planting. Kansas City schools have shortened study days one hour. The patrons of the negro public schools in the vicinity of Elliott City, Md., have asked that the board of the Howard county school commissioners increase their teachers' salaries and make certain changes in the manner of conducting their schools. In addition to increased pay for their teachers they ask that they be paid monthly, instead of quarterly as at present. They also ask that colored trustees for the schools be dropped, and that the school board take charge of selecting their teachers and conducting their schools. The colored petitioners also urge the establishment of a negro industrial school at Alpha, where the colored people own a tract of land. They would raise $500 toward the cost of the erection of the building. If the school should be built and meet with the approval of the state board of education, $1,500 would come from the state treasury for its use. The Philippine Bureau of Forestry reports that American and European lumbermen are trying to procure large and regular shipments of Philippine woods, mainly for cabinet making. How greatly hunting enters into British social life is shown by the fact that there are, according to a recent computation, 456 recognized packs of hounds in the United Kingdom. Of these, England has 364 packs, Ireland 75 packs and Scotland 17 packs. In round numbers, the packs which hunt the fox and deer total some 9,000 couples of hounds, while of harriers and beagles there are 3,500 couples. None but very handsome, women should take a chance on using slang. Holland has 1,435 co-operative agricultural societies, with a membership of 156,000. One of the largest and most valuable timber trees of the country is the tulip tree, known to lumbermen as yellow poplar. It is related to the magnolias, but is the only tree of its kind in the world. In Nuremberg 800 workmen are employed in making lead soldiers and lead toys. They turn out about 100,000 lead soldiers a day. BASEBALL Wallie Smith, the young third baseman Miller Huggins said so many nice things about, is making a good showing with the Senators. When he was with the Cardinals, Smith showed plenty of stuff, but Huggins did not have the power to keep him. ART SHAFER OUT FOR GOOD "FUTURIST" STILL A Parisian Costumer Seem Inclined to Last Year's WILL NOT BE Rex DeVoght, the young catcher of the Naps, is working hard behind the bat to show Manager Birmingham that he's worth a tryout with the Clevelanders if anything goes wrong with either Carisch or O'Neill. "One good left-handed pitcher is what the Tigers need more than anything else to insure them a place in the first division this season," said Jean Dubuc, the Detroit slow-ball artist, the other day. A Baltimore man suggests changing the name of the Feds to Feeds. Weeghman, a restaurant owner, Walker, a fish dealer, Krause a butcher and Ward a bread maker—he hasn't got a bad idea at that. Only six players who were with the Highlanders at the start of last season are still with the Hilltoppers. If Chance keeps this up, he'll soon have the title of the best weeder in the American league. Manager Hughey Jennings says his team would win the football championship of the American league in a walk. His pitching staff alone is 78.5% feet high and weighs 2,326 pounds. Harry Wolter and Birdie Cree, two veteran gardeners, will be missing from the Yankees' lineup this season. Wolter has been released to Los Angeles, and Cree will play with Balti- more. Catcher Slight, who made the trip around the world with the Sox and Glants, has been honored by Manager Jack Hendricks of Denver, who placed him on the all-Western league nine. Walter Johnson says that Ed Walsh ruined himself by warming up every day. Johnson declares that it is just as hard on a pitcher's arm to warm up as it is to pitch a game. Frank Chance is devoting most of his time to teaching his young slabmen how to handle bunts. The P L. says this is one of the most valuable assets a hurler can have. "Some of these days a Cleveland ball club is going to have a lot of luck," says a sixth-city scribe. Yes, some of these days Cleveland will have a real ball club. A brother of Jack Fournier of the Sox has been signed by Manager Bob Rundstrom of the North Yakima team of the Western Tri-State league. He is a southpaw heaver. We've just got to hit the monickers again. Will Boote has signed with the Rome (Ga.) team. Well, if Boote boots many boots, they'll sure enough give Boote the boot. Connie Mack has a pair of McNinnes, one a felder, and one a first baseman. They are not related, but seem to have the same ability to hammer the ball. Charley Herzog isn't worrying about his outfield. He says he can easily pick two youngsters out of his bunch to help out his regulars whenever needed. The Federal league that offers unlimited golfing privileges may have Christy Mathewson for the asking. McGraw has put the ban on the Scotch game. Detroit fans think that Harry Covaleski will make good in his third attempt in the big league because he is a Cincinnati castoff. They usually do. Manager Hendricks of the Indianapolis club is sure that Karl Crandall. Otis Crandall's brother, will make good in the American association this year. Sam Crawford got a four-year contract with Detroit, with the understanding that if he died of old age before it expired, his heirs couldn't collect. Pitcher Ingersoll, who worked in the Northwestern league last season, is confident that he'll win a place on the Cincinnati team this season. Manager Rickey is teaching his pitchers how to field bunts. It would be better if he'd teach his outfielders how to climb fences. Joe Jackson doesn't give it a try about fielding. All he does at the camp is but against the offerings of the recruit pitchers. Bobby Lowe, one-time major leaguer, will coach the Washington and Jefferson university baseball team this year. Ty Cobb delighted the fans at New Orleans in a recent game when he fanned in his first two trips to the pan. Owner Somers of the Naps gave Vean Gregg a big raise in his salary and Vean signed up for three years. Manager Huggins is sure that he has a chance of finishing eighth or thereabouts. Howard Shanks says he'll make good with Griffith's crew this season or bust. 1 "While playing with the Giants in New York I aged ten years and my hair is turning gray," said Art Shafer the other day discussing the strain of a baseball season. "Nothing would induce me to return to the game, and that is what I wired McGraw in reply to a telegram asking if my decision to quit was final." Shafer has been playing in practice games at the Stanford university with Los Angeles alumni of the university. He will return to Los Angeles to engage in business. Recruit Jeyete of the Cubs will enter Purdue university this fall. He is only eighteen years of age and is way too young for major league baseball. He should make a valuable addition to the Bollermaker nine. Umpire Bill Klem successfully underwent an operation for fractured ribs and shattered shouldered blade, he received while on the world's tour. He was not bothered until lately. Clark Griffith says that if his young twirlers come up to advance noticees he will have a pitching staff that will be stronger than any other twirling force in the American league. The International league figures it has lost about eighteen players as a result of the raid on its circuit by the Federals, according to President Ed Barrow. . . . Owner Bob Hedges praises Manager Rickey; the Brown's leader praises his players, and the players are—waiting for their pay checks. Jack Knight declares there never was a better hitter than Larry Lajoie. Jack says that Larry is a greater batter than Cobb or Wagner. Connie Mack is said to be a great pedestrian. The elongated leader of the world's champions walks several miles each day. Jim McGuire, scout and coach of the Detroit Tigers, declares that Burns, the young first baseman of the Tigers, is a natural hitter. Otto Knabe knows how to spend money. Knabe purchased a home in Philadelphia with the money the Feds gave him. "Kid" Elberfeld is filling in at short for the Dodgers. And some were about to count the Kid out. SPORTING WORLD Jay Gould American amateur court tennis champion, won the open championship of the world at Philadelphia, by defeating George F. Covey of England, the professional title holder, seven sets to one. Wisconsin university has won 38 out of the last 39 basketball games it has played in three years. History does not state whether the Badger subs beat the varsity in the one contest they lost. Gene Delmont, a Memphis featherweight and a long shot in the betting, gained an eight-round decision over Cal Delaney of Cleveland at Memphis. Battling Nelson is holding fast to the property he owns in Heweswich. He recently turned down an offer of $23,000 for two corner lots. Charley Hitte, the Albany middleweight, has retired from the roped arena and is now the trainer of the Cleveland baseball team. Frank Gotch's announcement that he may return to the ring again started a dozen steamship agents hustling to sell return trip tickets. Johnny Kilbane has been to Youngstown, where Bonesetter Reese repaired two displaced bones in his hands. Anthony F. Wilding will visit the United States this year as a member of the Australian team in quest of the Davis Australian team in quest of the Davis international cup. Stanislaus Zbyszko defeated Marvin Piestla in Chicago in a wrestling match in two straight falls of 10:10 and 15:00 at Lexington, Ky. The German Society of Automobile Manufacturers has announced its plans for an international exposition in Berlin in 1914. --- "FUTURIST" IS STILL A POWER American Desire for Quater Garments Not Likely to Be Considered— Sprigs. Vines and Tiny Flowers Are Again a Feature of the Coming Modes, WOMEN are not so impatiently awaiting the new styles as the awaiting the new styles as the merchants and dressmakers are, who always approach the beginning of March and September with some trepidation. It is all a gamble, this question of exploited gowns for a vast number of women with varied tastes. There are many sources of supply for new gowns, although Paris is an inspiration for all of them. Every dressmaker does not offer to the public original French gowns or exact copies of French models, and the bulk of the materials that are offered is, with few exceptions, American made. The wholesale houses which dress the average American woman send buyers to Paris well before the buyers for the retail houses go over. It is necessary for them to have styles that can be modified, adapted, and made available for the average woman who wants something new, from Montreal to Mexico. The models must be ready at the time when the women are going shopping for reduced winter clothes, and they are usually founded on French ideas that were brought out in November. They do not always differ in marked manner from the gowns that are shown to the retail buyers during February, because Paris is not as revolutionary as one would think. Its ideas connected with its fashions develop and do not reach fulfillment until the second season with them has been launched. Promises for the Future. There is a great deal of talk going to and fro over the anent the fact that Paris is wearying of fantastic clothes and that it is seeking to regain prestige by seriously returning to simpler fashions. This may be a happy philosophy worked out by the onlookers, but not seriously with any such intention on the part of France, or any conviction that her fashions are fantastic. The many designers over there are paid to follow out their own plans without regard to the rest of the world, although the American buyers feel that the visits of Worth, Polet, Georgette and Jouda, who is the head of the house of Bernard, signified the spring movement toward finding out what American women were producing in modern fashions. The probability is that each of these famous designers came over here at the urgent invitation of certain heads of American firms, and each was exploited and managed in a clever way that gave us reason to believe that America was at the bottom of the whole thing, and not Paris. Want Quiet Costumes Want Quiet Costumes. Those who have seen the gowns of Worth and Poilet since their visit here see that America has certainly not given them any ideas, but it may have conventionalized their future product for two reasons; the first is that they saw the reproduction of their collections on every aisle which have been produced at eight or ten dollars and worn by the wrong woman at the wrong hour; the second is that they discovered the quiet manner of dressing which the best placed American woman adopts. Whether or not America subdued Poilet one cannot tell, but the fact remains that the new gowns which he designed for Richepin's new play, "The Tango," were quiet and conventional. One fact is assured, which is that the French are not making any promises for the future about their clothes; the speculation comes from the Americans, who find much to analyze and philosophize over in French clothes. We have adopted many footlight clothes for the street and worn many things that should have been kept for the glare of the calcium and not exposed to the glare of the sun, but, after all, we are not ready for the impracticable dreams of artists. The clothes made by Bakst are impossible except for the stage, and one would take issue with them surely unless they retained some line or period. So far the world of dress owes nothing to artists who are not practical workers. Even our best colorists are among the designers who have given their lives to the task of dressing women. So whatever America may promise for Paris in the future, let it be understood that Paris itself is promising nothing. She is a shrewd and fantastic child, and one never knows which quality will go uppermost from season to season. Floured Fabrics in Fashion. Figured Fabrics in Fashion. The trail of the futurist is over with the materials of this spring. There is no denying that. Last year we looked agast at the red and blue flowers we were asked to wear in the name of Bulgaria and at the way the so-called futurist craze died out as quickly as British Books of a Year. The statistics of the publishing trade for 1913 as compiled by the Bookseller are both interesting and instructive. In spite of labor difficulties the output of books was only very slightly less than in 1912, and was in excess of all other years. The actual number of books published was 12,046, a truly prodigious total. Fiction heads the list, as usual, no less than 2,285 novels having been published during the year. Religion and theology comes next, with a total of 893 volumes, fol- it came. We did not like this zigzagging of triangles and circles of colors that were patched together without regard to harmony or good taste. All revolutions, even when they last but a few weeks, are apt to produce some change somewhere. For one thing, they make the mind more complacent about something less violent, and they open the eyes and minds to a different point of view. This was the effect of the riot of color that broke out last spring. It was subdued by sane and sound principles of dress, but its influence is marked today, and we accept the present phase without protest. All of which is to say that the creenes, and soft silks and chiffon cloths which are shown as spring fabrics are the offspring of the futurists of last year. The world gives them the name of Martine, because it is in this shop of Paris which does interior decorating that colors have reached their highest development. The work is done here by immature, tutored girls who are told to draw and color any design that is in their heads. These are invariably primitive, but their very lack of sophistication pleases. All Sorts of Designs. Again are the sprigs and vines and tiny flowers of other days. On a white ground there will be a flat, crude red rose in Martine red, which is the tone that is given to the new kind of glass used for country houses. Again there will be a large geometrical figure in a wonderful new shade of blue, produced at regular intervals on a background of white, and the The costume at the left is made of black velours-de-laine. The skirt crosses over in the front in a slightly draped effect, and is worn with a little wide short jacket. On the right is a tailor-made blue serge; a velvet waistcoat appears above and below the envelope-shaped coat, which is outlined with skunk and fastens at the side with one button. designer who makes this fabric into a frock will add a patch of red, for blue and red make a noteworthy combination this season. There are cotton crepes that have tight little roses in brilliant colors placed at regular intervals, and there are chiffon cloths which are covered with flowers and leaves in deep pink, green and pale blue. One of the best gowns made for the spring is of this latter material, and the narrow skirt has three flouncees placed around it in corkscrew fashion, each one attached with a round piping of terra cotta satin. The loose kimono sleeves end at the wrists. The bodice is draped across a vest of tea-tinted lace, and the belt is of terra cotta and green satin ribbon. The tunic which is attached to the blouse is not of the minaret variety. Its fullness gives it a rippling flare at the hem and it is long enough to reach to the knee line at the back and is gathered in front into a box pleat. Have Pretty Shoes. Women should be as particular about their footwear as they are about the way they wear their hair. The question is in many ways as important. It is so negligent to wear dingy shoes, especially as there is no excuse for it. If the shoes are kept trees when not being worn from the time they are first bought they will keep their shape. It is too often the case that shoes become creased after they have been removed from the feet. Even the poorest girl can afford a ten-cent bottle or box of polish to keep her shoes black. The minute the heels begin to wear down they should be taken to the shop to be straightened. These are simple points, yet they make all the difference in the world to the appearance of a girl's feet. Waistcoat Waists. Reports from Paris tell of satin waistcoat waists; that is to say, satin waistsoats the body of which is cut in the form of a man's waistcoat, with two points in front below the waist and a belt behind. The sleeves are of contrasting color. Quite as attractive as these satin waistsoats are the velvet waistcoats that are worn over white net waistsoats. These waistcoats are made of striped velvet and are cut exactly on the fashion of a man's waistcoat.

The wealthy young man from the East end became smitten with a mere working girl, as the tale is told. In the enthythmism of the moment he proposed to marry her. But to his intense surprise she refused him. He thought that she might be awed by his position and address and worldly possessions; so he talked human brotherhood and equality and modern democracy. "I see," he said. "You refuse me because I am rich and you are poor—because I have birth and position, while your ancestry is doubtful. That idea is un-American. We are all alike in this country. The fact that I drive a car while you sling hash means nothing—my position is a mere accident of birth." "It's more th'n an accident," she demurred. "What is?" he demanded. "Your birth.
