GLOBE trotters and officials from all parts of the world who have visited the Panama-Pacific International Exposition grounds at San Francisco have expressed their astonishment and delight at the wonders already revealed there. "The most stupendans undertaking of the kind in history," "The furthest advanced toward completion" and "The most beautiful site and color effect of any exposition in the world" are a few of the expressions from men who are familiar with all of the great world expositions of modern times. The exhibit palaces are of vast size. In the Palace of Machinery 20,000 people in masquerade costumes danced all night beneath the illuminated arches over nine acres of floor space. Lincoln Beachy flew an aeroplane in the same building. No exposition has ever attracted such attention abroad. Thirty-six of the world's nations have accepted America's invitation to participate and will present on an elaborate scale exhibits revealing their progress. The participating nations are as follows: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Great Britain, Guatemala, Haiti, Holland, Honduras, Italy, Japan, Liberia, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Persia, Peru, Portugal, Salvador, Siam, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Notable Work of Dr. Robert T. Burt In Clarksville, Tennessee. Clarksville, Tennessee.—There are few states of its size which have to their credit a larger number of business and professional men of wide influence and ability than is true of Tennessee. Her educational institutions, churches and agricultural interests are manned by some of the most experienced men and women among our people in this country. The largest publishing house in the world owned and operated by colored men is in this state. One of the best medical colleges and also one of the leading institutions of learning is the proud heritage of Tennessee. In this thrifty community we have one of the leading physicians of our race in the person of Dr. Robert T. Burt. M. D., a graduate of the Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tennessee. He is well prepared for the work which he is doing so successfully among our people. He is a postgraduate of the Harvard Medical school, a former president of the Tennessee State Medical association and former state vice president of the National Medical association. Dr. Burt's activities are many and varied. He is the surgeon in chief of ROBERT T. BUET, M. D. the Home infirmary in this town. It is the only hospital of any kind here. The Home infirmary is a two story brick structure of fifteen rooms and is a credit to the race. It is meeting the needs of the people in a most satisfactory way. In the business arena Dr. Burt is the proprietor of the magnificent office building which bears his name. It is a two story edifice made of cement and brick, containing twenty-two rooms. The Rudolph Hook company, a wealthy firm of white men engaged in the tobacco business, occupies offices in the Burt building. All the tenants in the building are white people except the proprietor and Dr. S. Jefferson. Dr. Burt is well and favorably known among business and professional men throughout the state. His success has been earned by hard work, and he knows how to encourage the young men and women of the race who are making the struggle upward against great odds.

SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1814. Congressman S. D. Fess of this state, certainly did a good job last week, when he "trimmed," and thorughly too, Congressman Kelly (dem.) of Pittsburg, for his unwarranted, ill-advised and even vicious political attack upon Senator Foraker Good, for Congressman Fess! Matters not how much we may have differed in the past, and may in the future. The Gazette has always, and always will, believe in and adhere to the principles of the Republic can party as given in its platforms in the years that made it great and powerful. The Kongo Atrocities, under King Leopold of Belgium, were disputed by some investigators and reaffirmed by ethers, but were enough to rouse violent indignation in England. Now however, they seem mild compared with the revelations made in the report of Sir Roger Casement, recently published, on the condition of things in the rubber district of the upper Amazon. Sir Roger Casement is British consul-general at Rio de Janeiro and was commissioned in 1910 to investigate certain frightful stories that were afraid concerning the manner in which an English rubber company, employing British Negroes from Barbados, was compelling the natives to collect a certain amount of rubber and punishing and torturing them in case they failed to furnish the supply demanded. Sir Roger was formerly consul in the Kongo and investigated the treatment of the natives of that region. The remoteness of the rubber district of Putumayo, on the Peruvian branches of the Amazon, made it difficult for any intervening Power to afford protection to the natives: Peru afforded indifferent, altho the United States made representations to the Government at Lima urging the authorities to put a stop to the hideous practises of the English concessionaires. The witnesses examined by Sir Roger testified that these practises included the burning alive of men, women, and children for purposes of intimidation and to incite the rubber-collectors to renewed exertions. We quote the following passage from his report: "Indians were frequently flogged to death. Cases were reported to me where men or women had died actually under the lash." BULL MOOSE WEAKENS. A statement regarded as the most important announcement of the primary campaign in Kansas was recently given out for publication by William Alam White before he left Emporia, Kan., for his summer home in Colorado to remain until fall. As an admission of weakness on the part of the Bull Moose party in Kansas it is greeted with joy by Republicans, everywhere. Democrats, hoping the Moosers would pull enough votes from the Republicans of that state to insure another Democratic victory, are less pleased. White's announcement was that Kansas Moosers probably would not poll more than 5,000 votes at the primary to nominate candidates for all parties in August. White is chief among those who stood at "mandarin" in the Kansas campaign two years ago. He is the "chief scribe and oracle" of them unto this day. The statement is significant, Republican leaders claim, in view of the fact that the "Armageddonites" polled 124,000 votes in Kansas two years ago. The Socialists drew $3,000 votes, seven times the vote that Mr. White expects the Progressives to cast in the Kansas primary next month for candidates carefully selected for their peculiar fitness to make the campaign. WHITE ON FORAKER Editor Gazette, Dear Sir;—In the autobiography of Prof. Andrew D. White (1905), I find the following passage which is of very particular interest to citizens of Ohio especially, and generally, to the American voter in other states also. Speaking of the Republican public opinion, I wrote to him, "For the vice-presidency, I cast the only vote which was thrown for my old Cornell student, Mr. Foraker, previously governor of Ohio and since that time U. S. Senator from that state. In spite of sunny 'detects of his qualities' which I freely recognized, I regarded him as a EARLESS, and I REASONED HE WRIGHTFORWARD MAN OF THE SORT WHO MUST ALWAYS PLAY A GREAT PART IN SENATOR J. D. FORAKER SENATOR J. B. FORAKER. AMERICAN POLITICS." (Vol. I page. 206.1) This man has been retired for a time with the assistance of misedrepresentatives and journals, but nowagain is being looked up to in order that we get to safe moorings again, from which we drilled through thematic soil of the al and cowards (Tatt et al)Ohio SHOULD, CAN, and I, assumeWILL rectify its mistake by recallingthis old Roman to the Senate. In spite of the foot that Senator Foraker has refuted and explained away the lying, vicious attacks made on him, first during the Roosevelt administration, by that "yellow journal," Hearst's New York paper and "King Theodore," and repeated at certain intervals since by Democratic papers, individuals and enemies calling themselves Republicans, he is going to be triumphantly nominated in August and elected in November, for reasons so well stated by both Prof. White and Mr. Egberth, and hundreds of other "good and sufficient" reasons it is not necessary to give at this time. Since Judge Foraker left the U. S. Senate the people of Ohio and the entire country have so many times felt the great need of him there that there is only impatience now, generally, with the delay in getting him back "in the harness." Ohio is going to do it, too, gentlemen—this year. Of this, all may rest assured. AS TO SENATOR FORAKER'S CAN DIDACY. The following communication from a loyal and active member of the race in Washington, D. C., is self-explanatory, and since we endorse every line of it, can be considered as a signed editorial: Washington, D. C., July 6, 1914. Friend Smith:—In a talk I had with U. S. Senator Moses W. Clapp of Minnesota, July 3, I asked him what he thought of Senator Foraker's chances in Ohio. He said that he did not know that every man of color will know that every man of color in Ohio should stand by Mr. Foraker. He said also that men showed base ingratitude by not standing by their friends, matters not what party they were in. In there is not a better friend of our people in Ohio than Senator Foraker, and we have to visit, in the still curse of night, any Colored man and tap him on the forehead and say, wake up! I want to charge you with ingratitude. Friend Smith, our political status is a thing that ought to demand the serious attention and wise thought of every man who has his own and the welfare of his people at heart. Nothing commands the attention of the other race so much as political loyalty to friends. Nill we write ourselves down in history as ingrates, or will we not? When men, who have stood by us in time of need and peril, are aspirants for office, will they have to seek our support or shall we like men, offer it with pleasure? When Senator Forrest Cameron promised us for the Senate what a pleasure it would have been to him, and what an object-less to others, if every Colored voter in Ohio should have sent him word that their votes were his. It is only by this method that we can expect to have a political status or strong friends. Will we do it or will we have cast in our faces—you are unworthy, you are an inmate. Tell the colored man OVO time to, in part, repay Senator Foraker for his noble efforts in our behalf. Let no man of the race have for his companion a disturbed conscience. It is glorious to be known as a man who is reliable, who is grateful. My prayers are for the success of Senator Foraker: my pity for a Colored man who is so base to cut him. Very truly yours, W. T. Ferguson. For the benefit of Friend Ferguson, and all other members of the race, in and out of the state of Ohio, The Gazette desires to say that our voters, "Buckeyes," are a unit for the Senator and will work and vote for him just so surely as they live to see August 11 and election day in November. Of that there is absolutely no question. Any man who undertakes to persuade or prevent them from so doing, will have a fight on his hands "just as surely as the Lord made little apples". We, all, know our duty in this matter and propose to do it, and no power short of Divine Power will be able to stop us. Senator Foraker is fully appreciated, as a thoroughly good, true and aggressive friend, such as none other in his --- race, in every Afro-American home in and out of the state of Ohio, in this country, and he knows it. There will be no "conscience pricking" after the primaries, or election day, either, such as our good friend, Mr. Ferguson, refers to in his communication. Ohio Afro-American voters regard it not only a duty, to work and vote for our good and great Senator, but it is a positive pleasure to do so. More than this, we are doing our "level best" to get him the vote of every white citizen we can. We know that there is not a woman of the race in the state that would let a member of the race, whether husband, brother or son, remain in the house, in peace, who would dare to express a sentiment favorable to Joseph Benson Foraker, the next "United States Senator from Ohio." Annual Missionary Meeting at Canton Recently. The Woman's Mite Missionary society, of the North Ohio Conference Branch, has just closed, at 10:00 a.m., one of the most successful conventions in its history. Sixty delegates and members were present and the society of Canton, did its best to entertain this large delegation. Mrs. Rosa Johnson, president of the branch, had regained her strength sufficiently to preside. The enthusiasm ran high for the cause of missions and the papers read were well prepared. The stereopticon entertainment by Rev. Raymond Bush of Sebring, a returned missionary, spent eleven years in Africa, was very successful in inspiring. The men's meeting, a new feature of the convention conducted by Mr. M. I. Pemberton, gave new ideas and help. The address on the Holy Land, delivered by Mrs. Sarah J. Anderson of Wilberforce, was impressive and received with great enthusiasm. The closing event was spent in the administration of the Lord's Supper and a splendid program by the young people, conducted by Mrs. Susie Hogans of Delaware. The missionary sermon by the pastor, Rev. J. Bass, was excellent. All the officers were present. The missionary Mrs. Rosa Johnson is serving her nineteen year as president. Her annual address was full of missionary information and was the best she has given. The annual report showed $2,000 raised. The children's meeting, conducted by their superintendent, Mrs. A. B. Young, was greatly enjoyed. The reports showed that the missionary work at home and in the foreign field, has received increased support, this year. The branch is supporting the missionary work of Wilberforce. The ladies presented the president with a fine writing case, a fountain pen and a pocket manicure set. The place, for the next convention, was left in the hands of the executive board. M. Goode, reporter. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

According to some language students Irish brogue is the ancient way of pronouncing English, preserved in its purity by residents of the Emerald Who Makes Up the Sulcides. According to Dr. Jacques Bertillon, the French statistician, suicide is common among liquor sellers, chimney sweeps, butchers, fruters and musicians. It is frequent among "cannole lots" shop assistants, cutters, hair dressers, servants, costers, lawyers, doctors and druggist. It is rare among the clergy, government officials and men leading an active, open air life. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS. THROUGHOUT OHIO What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical — Marriages, Deaths, Etc. EDISON—Tom Archer, horseman, of this place, sued the village of Mt. Gilead, when his horse stuck in a mud puddle and died. He argued the case himself and won it. Archer is again in the limelight. He left another horse standing while he went down to the creek to catch a turtle, and the horse died. Health Officer Pugh says Archer buried the horse too near the road and didn't bury it deep enough. Some want the horse moved, and some agree that there is a certain amount of truth in the view taken by its owner. "It all seems to help matters any to go digging up that horse and moving it around," says Archer. CADIZ—The rally at Simpson M. E. church netted $197, Mr. and Mrs. J. S.

Good Rule for Right Living Gentleness and cheerfulness, these come before all morality—they are the perfect duties. If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong.

DOINGS OF THE RACE. Alexander Waller of Albany, N. Y., was awarded $100 damages. July 9, because a saloonkeeper wanted to charge him $1 for a drink. This was a violation of the Levy Civil Rights law of N. Y. state. The Progressives of Louisiana's third congress district, have barred Afro-Americans, while the Arkansas county in which Little Rock is located, denies our people official position in the Republican organization. Binga Dismond, a member of the race, representing the University of Chicago, and the Illinois Athletic club, recently ran a 440 yard race at Dayton, O. in 148.3, defeating a large field of white athletes (runners). He was also the star of similar meet in Detroit, later. Binga is regarded as one of the world's fastest quarter-mile runners. Early in 1894, after working in and around mines, D. L. Jackson, a member of the race, went to White Oakes, N. M., and with two other 'men took an option on two mining properties known as the North and Castle Home-stake mines. These properties had been owned by an Anson syndicate, but were considered worthless. Mr. Jackson and his associates opened them up and after ten years' labor have on them a 20-stamp mill and a 100-ton cyanide plant. They also discovered coal about three miles away and have erected an electric plant that supplies power to both mill and its seawater supply. The output is 75 tons and that they supplied White Oakes with its first electric lights and power. It is stated, on the most excellent authority, that, apparently, to gain the favor of the White House, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds 1, notified it when he had a $1,200 vacancy in his office, suggesting to the White House a recommendation of the governor to usual thing to do, bureau heads never going out of their way to notify the White House of small vacancies. The White House suggested a young white woman, said to be a dry-goods clerk, for the position. Instead of Mr. Johnson promoting efficient Afro-American clerks in his office, to the $1,200 vacancy, and dropping the inexperienced white woman to the lowest grade, as the White House anticipated he would be overloaded to over the heads of long-tuned and efficient Afro-American clerks to the $1,200 place—Chicago Defender. The Cambridge, England, Encyclopedia Company has the following concerning their collection: "Among other rare pieces our collection contains a goldsolidus of Justinian II. (circ. A. D. 705), which was purchased from Lincoln & Co. the well-known numismatists of Oxford St., London, after having been verified as genuine by the coin department of the British Museum, with a full-faced bust of Justinian, with robe carre and cross; legend: Justinianus, Serv. Christi (Justinian, Servant of Christ). Reverse, full-faced bust of Jesus Christ with wooly hair. Behind him, the cross. Legend: D. N. les Chs. Rex Regnantium (Dominus Noster, Jesu Christ, King of Kings). Whatever the fact, this coin places beyond dispute the belief that Jesus Christ was a Negro. The coin is otherwise of great historical value, between Justinian and Abdul Malik, 5th caliph of the Omnials, the former demanding tribute to be paid in these same coins and the latter refusing." Bishop Alexander Walters has tried to deceive no one, but we believe that he is himself deceived. The Hon. Woodrow Wilson did, both before and since his election to the Presidency, give the most solemn assurances that he would give his Negro American fellow-citizens "not mere grudging justice," but Justice. After more than a decade of "watchful waiting" on their part, he has given them instead wholesale dismissals of Negro Federal office holders and Civil Service employees, while his administration"has, for the first time in our history, openly committed the government itself to the polioe of segregation of its employees on the ground of race and color.—A.

Plea Home" As Segregation, As Unocratic, Un-Christian, An Entwedge of Jim-Crowism, As R-regression and a Wide Step Eward. Mr. President and Brethren of the Colored Ministers' Alliance: Your committee, appointed 20th, 1914, to investigate the alliance organization of a Home EXCLUSIONLY for COLORED children, bag it to submit the following report: Those who go to the lawn fete by St. Thomas Aquinas' church, Superior avenue and Ansel road, Wednesday night will be treated to an "added attraction" in "Nig" Dent, the far-famed African dancer of Luna park. Dent likes to about dance and allows ingenuity among others to try to crack a regulation baseball against it. Wednesday's Cleveland News. Another one of the many comfortable and cozy homes owned by members of the race in the East End is that of Mr. Thomas Howard of 9001 Blaine Ave., a trusted employee, for some years, of the May Co. Supt. Gross, now manager of the company, speaks of recent improvements have been made in the latter's home that make it a thoroughly up-to-date residence. The following to the editor of The Gazette from the "Steadfast Club" of Mt. Haven Baptist church, is self-explanatory: "We want to extend to you our hearty thanks for the address you gave us at our 'Shower', Monday evening. Your good words and advice were appreciated by every one present, and will ever be remembered. And may you ever share the blessings of God. You have our best wishes in any undertaking." Thank you! Can you dance and skate, days and evenings, at Luna Park, NOW? If not, why voluntarily give of your hard-earned money to its management? Ask these questions of those you meet who would discuss the matter. Be MEN and WOMEN with as much self- and race respect as the members of other races or classes, have. Persons who do not respect themselves and their race or class, cannot expect others to do so. Isn't this a fact, too? Mrs. Sarah G. Jones says, in the Fraternal Monitor: "Try and understand each other better. You have no lease on health, life and life; try and bear with your own until you are sure that 'patience ceases to be a virtue' for most persons; life for most persons is to find and to know who are 'their own', they are so scattered in the 'mixed multitude', and patience so long ago ceased to be a virtue that samples of it are rarely ever exhibited for practical purposes." The B. Y. P. U. of Antioch Baptist church was largely attended, Sunday evening early. The topic, "The Christian Ministry of Muscle," was opened by Milton M. A fine program was rendered: Piano solo, Miss Helen Wawerski, bass solo, Miss Harriet Mr. Johnson analyzed beautiful music; "The 90 and 9" was beautifully sung by J. M. Hodson.

Haven Baptist church with a pulpit Bible and a beautiful cover, at its "kitchen shower", Monday evening, when a fine program was rendered. The "Goode sisters" and others were in charge of the "shower", which was a perfect success. The editor of The Gazette delivered a strong and characteristic talk on the business side of church life and complimented Mt. Haven highly on its beautiful, newly renovated and remodeled kitchen, set, and on the steady progress made since the church's inception. Among those in attendance from out of the city were Ernest O. Orsburg, a member of the faculty of St. Augustine Episcopal school, Raleigh, C. Rev. J. L. E. Burst, pastor of Mt. Haven, who was married recently while away on his vacation, has tendered his resignation and will leave the city to join his wife in Hillsboro, in sixty days. He has been a positive help not only to the church, but a resident here, as well as to all of the community, and all will sincerely regret his departure and wish him Godspeed wherever he may locate. H. C. Gilbert delivered an interesting address and alided material in making the "shower" program a success. There were also vocal and instrumental solos of merit. As announced in The Gazette, last week, complaints have been filed with Safety Director A. A. Benech against Patrolmen John Canfeld and Joseph Riley of the third precinct, and Police Captains Alfred Walker and Stephen Murphy have been named to investigate to determine whether formal charges involving brutality and gross indiscrimination should be filed. Two separate complaints have been made against the patrolmen. One involves an alleged eating up "Bubbs" Bubbs, 2677 E. 11th Street, and the other a similar offense against Charles Gaston, 2285 Broadway. On the night of July 4 it is complained that Bubbs and a white man had an argument in a saloon at Broadway and E. 22nd St., following which they were outside shaking hands after an adjustment of their differences when Patrolmen Canfeld and Riley, in citizens clothes, appeared. Bubbs was arrested. It is claimed that Patrolmen, besides his face and body being fairly covered with bruises, Bubbs was arrested on a charge of resisting an officer. His trial was set for Tuesday morning. The other complaint, involving an alleged attack on a police officer, was also charged. Patrolmen Canfeld. It is charged Canfield accused Gaston of being drunk and Gaston denied it, following which Gaston was hit over the head with a club. He was taken to Charity hospital, a cut in his head sewed up, following which he was taken to the third precinct police station and released. Attorney S. J. Deutsch, Engineers building, representing Bubbs and Gaston, said. Sascha will ask for warrants for Patrolmen Canfeld and his charging them with assault. He is also preparing a damage suit against the two patrolmen and their bondsmen. MINISTERS' ALLIANCE PROTEST! Denounce the Alleged "Mt. Pleasant Home" As Segregation, As Undemocratic, Un-Christian, An Entering Wedge of Jim-Crowism, As Retrogression and a Wide Step Backward. Mr. President and Brethren of the Colored Ministers' Alliance: We, our committee, appointed Jan. 20th, 1914, to investigate the alleged organization of a Home EXCLUSIVELY for COLORED children, bag leave to submit the following report: 1. We find that the Home on E. 126th St. is a private enterprise and has been mainly supported by one Chas. E. Stewart. Relative to the care of the children or condition of the children, we make no commendation since the institution is private, or, at the most, quasil public. 2. We find that a public home for Colored children, exclusively, has been projected, and a tentative organization has been actually formed, with 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. Walter Eaton of the Cleveland Humane Society, and T. C. Wellsted, assistant secretary of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. We, our committee, do hereby enter our most earnest and vigorous protest against the establishment of such an institution, for the following reasons, to wit: 1st—There is absolutely no necessities such an institution. The city, the county and the state have made ample and satisfactory 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 policy of segregation and therefore, become the entering wedge of "jim-crowswil," 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 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 of our government, and firmly believe in that perfectly democratic principle so long enunciated by Dr. Lynn H. Knight and our own Dr. Washington Gladden—"The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." Respectfully submitted, ELAM A. WHITE, H. C. BAILEY, CHAS BUNDY, G. V. CLARK, The above report was unanimously adopted by the Ministers' Alliance, Tuesday, Jan. 27, 1914. HOMES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. 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 E. 43d St., are not sufficient to provide places for girls. Pending arrangements for a permanent and large detention home for both boys and girls, Judge Addams has asked the commissons to rent the premises adjoining the present detention home for girls in E. 43d St., and a house on the West Side to supplement the present boys' detention home which occupies the two upper floors of the Detroit-West 29th St, police station. Supplementing the foregoing are, the home for boys at Hudson, and The Cleveland Girls' Home, opened at Warensville, under the city department of public welfare, and immediately under the supervision of Miss Vera Schoenfeld. In the face of the foregoing, will some one find the shadow of a good excuse for the existence of that "jimrow" Mr. Mpleasant children's home? OPPOSED TO "JIM-CROW" HOME. At a recent meeting of the City Federation of Women's clubs, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered printed in The Gazette: We, the City Federation of Women's clubs, do earnestly enter our protest against establishing the "Mt. Pleasant Home for Colored Children," there being no necessity for such a home, since our children are being better cared in local institutions for all, we shall fight such an effort, and use every influence to wipe out the objectable "Home" and any other, promoting discrimination and segregation. We, the women of the Federation, many of us belonging to the Auxiliary to the Juvenile Court and Humane society, organized to assist in the work of placing and relieving dependent children, know the abundance of people by our people help the above named organizations, and, therefore, feel that such a step as organizing such a "home" is entirely unnecessary, non-progressive and an insult to our race, and do hereby enter a vigorous protest, placing ourselves squately on record as opposing such a harmful movement, and as determined to use every information available to us. The statement being made, to the effect that the alleged "Children's Home" in Mt. Pleasant, has been promised $1,000 in event of its existing one year, only aggravates the situation and, if true, but shows the determination of a few prejudiced persons in this community to establish and maintain, if possible, this segregation attempt and consequent color-line.

LAUNDRY AGENCY AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In a letter to the Washington Star Mr. Michael Jones has the following to say: As one intensely interested in the best possible welfare of my race, and as one who has and will always attempt to help usher the negro to the topmost peaks within the realms of human possibilities, I want to call attention to the fact that practically all the strides which have been made in business, commerce and finance in America have been made by the thrifty, industrious and enterprising white man in whose midst the negro has lived, thrived and prospered. I firmly believe that the colored race has risen no higher than the present unsatisfactory position it now occupies largely because of its lack of a larger participation in the business, commercial and financial phase of our American life. Doubtless there are many reasons why this is true. However, one of the greatest—if not the greatest—reasons for this lamentable fact is so well explained in a letter I received from Senator Works, and so much in harmony with my conviction, that I take the liberty to quote from that keen-sighted statesman. "I believe," says Senator Works, "that if the colored people would leave off thinking so much about politics and political advantage and turn their attention more largely to advancement along business lines and useful occupations they would succeed very much better than they have In the past and would remove much of the opposition that exists against their race. "They have accomplished absolutely nothing in a political way, excepting that a very few of their number, comparatively, succeed in securing small offices, and the great masses of the people receive no benefits from their participation in politics." I repeat that Senator Works expresses my sentiments in this regard. I want to be correctly understood. I believe that any nation which takes the ballot or any other birthright from any group of her citizens because of race, previous condition of servitude or political advantage commits a wrong, a deep and bitter wrong, and will ultimately suffer—inevitably so; but I am thoroughly convinced that the American colored man, or any other materially weak race in a similar condition, should abandon politics, as such, and arrive to build and strengthen the business, commercial and financial phases of its life. With considerable interest I have noted that during the past four months colored inhabitants of the District of Columbia have assembled at eighteen monster mass meetings for the express purpose of protesting against segregating of the colored employees in government departments. With a much larger degree of both interest and satisfaction have I observed that during this same period of time progressive business men of my race in this city have held forty-five meetings for the specific purpose of urging colored citizens of the District to direct more of their energy toward the development of business among the race. I trust that more members of my race, especially in the city of Washington, will realize the great advantage and seize the vast opportunity of conducting independent businesses of their own instead of being dependent upon some obscure government position that in many instances subjects them to humiliation, discrimination and segregation. Free and irresponsable as a colt, oblivious to the events of the world as an Eskimo, in a four-room house on a rocky Oklahoma farm of 80 acres, lives a ten-year-old colored boy who doesn't know that he is one of the richest boys in the state, and if he did, the fact would carry no significance in his brain. Little "Dan" Tucker often singles for his supper, but he doesn't have to—he doesn't have to do anything for his subsistence, and probably never will. This month saw deposited on his credit $12,000, and every day he makes not less than $190. Dan Tucker is the son of James and Elizabeth Tucker, children of slaves of the Creek Indians freed by the Civil war. By virtue of a treaty made between the United States and the Creek Indians at Fort Smith, Ark., in 1865, slaves formerly belonging to the Creeks, and their descendants, were given an equal share with their former owners in the government allotment of the old Creek lands in the Indian territory. And that is how Dan Tucker now owns 160 acres of land lying 15 miles east of Cushing, Okla., in the heart of the newly developed Cushing oil fields. Mrs. J. Murch of New York has the distinction of being the only woman in America who is proprietor, printer, compositor, binder and "printer's devil" all in one. She owns a printing establishment in New York City where she attends to all the details of the shop herself. Western Australia produces more gold than any American state, sends more pearls to Europe than any other country except Ceylon, and is said to have the richest belt of hardwood timber in the world.

A Swedish scientist has produced a new fertilizer in the electric furnace by treating feldspar or another mineral base of potassium with a suitable amount of carbon and iron. In 1912 more than 100,000 persons returned to Naples from the United States. Negro farmers own or control 5,100,000 acres of land in the state of Alabama, or 350,000 more acres than they controlled in 1800, the New York Times states. The colored farmers of the state have under their control 5,653,000 acres of improved land, and are farming 500,000 more acres of improved land than they were cultivating in 1900. In ten years the number of Negro farmers increased 17.3 per cent and now they own or control one fourth of all the farm property in Alabama, having an aggregate value of 197,370,000, or 107.5 per cent more farm property than they controlled at the beginning of the ten-year period. The progress of the negroes in Alabama is typical of what the negroes are doing in other states. With its explored population of 908,282, the third greatest negro population in the United States, Alabama affords a striking illustration of what the race has accomplished. The first negro bank in the United States was established in Alabama. In the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, of which Booker T. Washington is head, it possesses the leading negro educational institution of the world. Now Alabama has the first railroad in America to be conceived promoted, built and operated by negro people, namely, the Dixie line, running from Kowalaga Community, colored, fifteen miles to Alexander City, in the eastern part of the state, where it connects with the Central of Georgia railroad. In agriculture, however, they are making the most progress. Fifty per cent of all the persons in the state engaged in agriculture are negroes. On the other hand, 75 per cent of all the negroes in the state are engaged in farming. There are 110,440 colored men operating farms. The banking business is another line in which the negroes of the state are making progress. There are five banks in Alabama operated by negroes, the Alabama Penny Savings bank and the Prudential Savings bank of Birmingham, the Penny Savings bank of Selma, the Penny Savings bank of Aniston and the Penny Savings bank of Montgomery. A remarkable increase is shown during the ten years in the number of negroes who have established successful grocery stores, drug stores, real estate offices and other enterprises. In practically every city in the state where there are large numbers of colored people they have acquired the ownership of entire city blocks. The negro church has kept pace with the progress of the negro in agriculture, commerce and education. In every city in Alabama where there is a large community of negroes they have built churches costing $20,000 to $50,000. The value of the church property owned by colored people of the state amounts in all denominations to $4,000,000. Thus with the physical progress of the negro churches of Alabama has come intellectual and moral advancement. To solve the problem of disposing of the dead a famous German architect proposes to erect in the chief cities immense pyramids, each of which will hold the ashes of 1,000,000 cremated bodies. It sometimes happens that a woman marries a man to reform him—if she is unable to get a man who doesn't need reforming. American moralists on the false pride of denominationalism have never had need to go to Kikiyu for a text. A plain one is revealed in the John F Slater educational fund's examination of schurch schools for negroes in the South. In the cities and towns of 12 states it reports 50 cases of the flagrant duplication of effort by denominal national schools. The tactful administrators of the fund appeal to a sense of denominational expediency. One co-operative school, founded on that at present strongest, should generally suffice. Each church might put the money saved "into some strong, central college or industrial institute. Or if no one church school might be left with the work, especially in primary education, might not all withdraw to advantage and co-operate with the public school authorities in providing better facilities?" No one thinks money for negro education can be made to go too far; and the churches could recite with more fervor the immense need for contributions if their own failure to co-operate were not in part responsible for It—Editorial in the New York Post.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1914 BASEBALL A St. Louis writer says he has seen all the strong-armed men of the game throw, from Hatfield down to Lejeune, but that Clarence Walker puts more force behind the ball than any of them. Walker's throws from left field have cut off many a run this season. Joe Harris, the first base recruit secured by Frank Chance for his Yankees from the Bay City Southern Michigan club, hails from the neighborhood of Pittsburgh and played third base as a semi-pre before he landed in a minor league. Bill Carrigan, manager of the Boston Red Sox, says: "Don't depend too much on the vets." And, by golly, he's right. Leonard, Foster and A. Rankin Johnson, practically first-year pitchers, have been the making of the Red Sox club to date. Tinker insists that Arthur Wilson, erstwhile Giant, has developed into one of the best catchers in the game. Tinker says that regular work behind the bat has worn off rough edges and Wilson is now a finished backstop. --- Business Manager John M. Ward of the Brooklyn club has announced that hereafter throughout the entire season each Friday will be known as ladies' day at Washington park. On these days ladies will be admitted free. Jimmy Vlox of the Pirates is showing no such certainty on ground balls as he showed last year. He is so far ahead of the other Pirates in error-making that there seems little chance of his being overtaken. Confidence is the cause of Harry Coveleksle's good showing with the Detroit Tigers. The Polish boy has developed absolute faith in his ability, something he lacked on his previous trials in the majors. . . . Ed Sweeney, the burly catcher of the New York Highlanders, is getting to be a regular antelope on the paths. He ranks among the ten leading base stealers in the American league. Ray Morgan, the second baseman of the Senators, was called a sure failure last season because he couldn't hit. This year he is one of the best little timely hitters on Griff's staff. --- Pitcher Harry Clark, a Navajo Indian, has joined the Sloux City club. He has never pitched in fast company, but Chief Josh Clarke believes he will be able to deliver the goods. It is reported that Rebel Oakes is going to release some of his pitchers. Why should he want to release any pitchers when he needs about his entire staff to cop one game? Jack Kleinow, erstwhile catcher for the New Yorks, who was forced out of the big leagues because of an injury to his leg, is now on the Montgomery, Ala., club roster as scout. Kitty Bransfield says he resigned from bossing the Montreal team to get some sleep. From Montreal's position in the race some one must have been sleeping all season. Judging from the way Byron Houck is performing in the Federal league, Connie Mack made a big mistake. The tall tutor should have released him long before he did. ... Manager Herzog is getting disgusted with the work of Johnny Bates in the outfield. He is willing to concede that Joe Tinker had Bates sized up about right last year. Jimmy Breton is playing third base for the White Sox like a veteran. His throwing arm is accurate and he has enough speed to beat the fleetest of the runners. John McGraw says it cost the New York Nationals $25,000 in increased salaries to get all the Giants to sign new contracts eliminating the ten-day clause. The weather man has given the big league owners many clocks in the purse this season. He has washed many dollars out of their pockets. Chief Meyers of the Giants is doing some good throwing these days, but is not hitting in his accustomed form. Rucker Ginn, captain of University of Georgia and a cousin of Ty Cobb, has signed to play with the Naps. Kopf, the young short feilder of the Athletics, looks like a real 2nd. He is a good feilder and a fair batter. Ty Cobb is going back—yes, for hits that look sure for extra bases, and just in the same old way. Leslie Nunamaker has taken a new lease on life since quitting the Red Sox for the Yankees. Trading Heine Zimmerman off to the New York Giants is a stock story sprung every so often. Dan Sherman has been released to the St. Joseph team of the Western league by Joe Tinker. Demaree of the Giants had more success as a batter than as a pitcher on the western trip. Rube Marquard's pitching has been high class since he recovered from his recent illness. The Buffeds have released Pitchers Schiltzer and Purroy and Outfielder Pettigrew. GARDENER'S JOB FOR MULLIN KANALOOS George Mullin, long famous as a Tiger pitcher, but now a member of the hurling corps of the Indianapolis Federal league club, has practically made up his mind to forsake the center of the diamond for the less strenuous duties of the outfield. The big fellow always could hit. For years he was considered one of the most dependable pinch hitters in the minor leagues, and according to the averages of the Federals, in 16 times he poled seven bingles for an average of 437. George has not met with much success in his recent attempts at pitching. He has been knocked from the box on a number of occasions. Connie Mack is carrying but 19 regular players with him this year, which is the smallest road party carried by the tall tactician in years and years. It is said that Barney Dreyfuss has canceled a recent application for an automobile license. The tag sent to him was numbered 22,500. * * * If there's anything in a name, the new Cleveland player, Rucker Ginn, should be a wonder. He's a cousin of Cobb. --- Joe Kelly of the Pirates has a lower jaw that extends beyond his upper lip farther than that of Johnny Evers. The Federal league surely is a failure. Not one of its players has received an offer to go into vaudeville. The Dodgers have lost so many games by one run that Manager Robinson is falling away to nothing. Connie Mack is looking as pleased over his team as if he had already had another world's championship. Catcher Clarke is doing some grand work behind the bat for the Reds. Walter Johnson has had a poor year so far this summer. As a pitcher Demarce is a great little cartoonist. SPORTING WORLD Dates for the big automobile races to be held next year in connection with the Panama-Pacific exposition have been announced.

The new world's record of 46 feet $2 \%$ inches with the 18-pound hammer, which was made by Patrick McDonald at the annual games of the Irish-American A.

Eddie McGoorty is still knocking them cold down in Australia. Eddie is about the classiest American boxer they have seen down there in many a day. Jimmy Clabby, the American middleweight, who is now in Australia, has made a good impression on the fight fans in that far-off country. Maybe Ad Wolgast has gone back a bit, but he's still there with a little change. He paid $229 income tax at Grand Rapids the other day. Dan Hayes, the ex-amateur middle-weight champion of the middle west, has decided not to accept any matches until late in the fall.

Civilization's Advance PINS FAITH TO BISCUIT COLOR Parisian Couturier Believes the Shade Is the Most Becoming That Has Been Devised. MODEL WORTHY OF COPYING Idea of Bernard, Who Sets Fashions That Demand Consideration—Irish Crochet Lace Has Taken Fashionable Fancy as Have Few Modes of Recent Seasons. ALTOUGH very few women in America have known Mime. La Franc by name, they are well acquainted with the modes which she has created during the last few seasons. It was she who designed the costume with the basque, which has been the most distinctive note in this season's styles—the costume which Mille. Froza, who is considered the most beautiful woman in Paris, wore at the races a few weeks ago, writes Marianne De Brun to the New York Press from Paris. Mme. La Franc revived the bustle costume last season. On and on, I could repeat her numerous successes of the last few years, for she has been the principal designer of the Maison Premet. Mme. La Franc seemed to know just what the Americans desired—always something new, something artistic and styles that verged on being daring. This great artist, Mme. La Franc, passed away nearly a fortnight ago. Paris was amazed, for she was the youngest of the designers, being only thirty-six. Her death is regrettable in many ways, for she had given so much impetus to fashions and she was just bringing the pinnacle of a great dictator. White or Biscuit Color? Practically all the couturiers are advocating white combined with black and colors. But Bernard is the exception, for he is stauch in the belief that biscuit color is more becoming to most women. And he is quite right when it comes to costumes for day wear, for white is very unbecoming to many women when it is worn in the sunlight. In tailor-mades Bernard has introduced biscuit-colour garadine, which is summery in appearance and yet tailors very satisfactorily. One of the best Garden Party Gown. models which he has shown has a medium-length coat with ripple-back effect and a plain front that is suggestive of a man's tuxedo. I mention this particularly because it seems possible that by the time autumn is here all suits and many dresses will have normal armholes. This should delight the thousands of women who have been rebelling against kimono sleeves. To return to the Bernard suit. Its skirt had a deep tunic starting about six inches below the waist line, so that the well-fitted top of the skirt might appear to form a yoke. This tunic was a circular affair which flared and rippled to about eight inches from the ankle—the pantaloon-effect underskirt reached to the instep. I think that these new details introduced by Bernard should be carefully noted, for it must be admitted that he creates the majority of successful styles in suits. Velvet Canes Yes, black velvet capes. They are in vogue at present and they undoubtedly will be when the cool weather returns. However, capes of white velvet are schedled to be the dominant note of midsummer styles when the season is on at Deauville. And then one will also undoubtedly see capes of canary, sulphur color, soft blue and lovely pink velvet. Wars and many other events have influenced fashions, but the latest to do so was the visit of their majesties, the king and queen of England. Every one knows that Queen Mary does not go out of her own country for her gowns, even though nearly all "I say, dad, I've just accepted Charlie Brown—he's in the drawing-room—and if you've a minute you might pop in and see him and talk it over; but please be quick, we've got to rush out and see about the banns."—London Opinion. Accomplished. Anyway. Caller—"Is your daughter an equaterian?" Proud Mother—"Either that or valedictorian. These class offices are so confusing, don't you know." the other women of European royalty are devotees of Paris fashions. Whether Paris really admired the Irish lace yoke in one of the gowns which Queen Mary wore during her recent visit is a question I cannot answer, but it did make the couturiers realize that Irish crochet lace is one of the most effective and prettiest laces today. Within the last few days many of the new blouses which have been shown have been trimmed with Irish lace, and much of the new neckwear is also trimmed with it. And maybe it will be introduced in some of the summer frocks that are yet to come. Season of Laces. However, before the Irish lace incident this was an established fact. The success of the long tunic is practically responsible for the profuse usage of fine laces, for this tunic is frequently made entirely of a very fine chantilly or another of the fine laces. One of the most charming gowns had a foundation of soft, black satin and an almost full-length tunic of cream-colored lace; and its corsage was a perfectly plain little surplice affair of the satin, with a narrow peplum in the front and a wide sash in the back—but its sleeves were of lace. One of Premet's newest gowns with the long basque had a long tunic of lace, but this was the only bit of lace on the costume, for the collar and decolletage were finished with fine white net. Bernard has introduced a new treatment of lace in a costume with corsage and long tunic of black taffeta, with an underskirt formed of many ruffles of white maline lace—as the tunic was slashed full depth at the left side these quaint little ruffles gave a rather daring but effective contract. The loveliest of garden frocks are of white alencon and breton laces. And then there are some of white linon, trimmed with fillet and gulpure laces. In neckwear the jabot and the rabat are again seen. Undoubtedly the generous use of laces has revived these always pictureresque styles, for during the last few seasons women have forgotten that they ever existed. Many are asking whether they signify the return of high stocks. Probably. Coats of chantilly lace have been worn by several notable women. Of course, this lace will make their vogue quite limited. And let us hope that the world at large will be willing to do, for coats of inexpensive laces—and especially Irish crochet—are about the most unsightly kind of wraps that women have ever worn. Birds Replace Butterflies. Worth is accredited with having created this rather clever and surely unusual idea. And, if I am not mistaken, it was he who introduced the butterflies of malline and let last autumn. The favorite bird motif is a natural plumage made in the shape of the beetle's wings, and it is mounted to give the effect of holding in place a draped berthe of lace. Of course, you know that ostrich has for some time past been used quite extensively on evening gowns and wraps. Delicate Fabrics. Sheer fabrics, such as chiffons, organdies, dimities and all other materials that are too delicate to take starch, will gain their original crispness if three tablespoonfuls of sugar are added to the rinsing water. This is also the proper treatment for all vells. A good way to wash white silk is to take lukewarm water, make it quite blue and to each quart of water add two teaspoonfuls of pure ammonia. Use a good white soap in water prepared the same way, roll up and iron on the wrong side with an iron not too hot. Cleaning white silk in gasoline is also a satisfactory method. This should be done outdoors. New Sunshades. With a long directoire handle the butterfly sunshade is developed in chiffon as airily as its name, and, shaped with outspread wings, the butterfly is traced on the gathered white material in fine black lace touched with glistening jet. The model is more practical, too, than the usual collection of chiffon and the lace sunshades, as the fabrics have been waterproofed for summer showers. Sunshades in fur, certainly a freakish fancy, are already appearing in show rooms, and very original they look. It is also to be a 1914 custom to have a sunshade to match the gown in fabric as well as coloring. Flower Pillows. A woman who is very fond of the common field flowers, and in whose living room the wild flowers in season can always be found, has a pretty fashion of having some of her numerous living room cushions and pillows echo the pretty flowers. For instance, she has violet pillow slips, daisy pillow slips, buttercup pillow slips, goldenrod pillow slips, pine cone slips and even dandelion slips. Consequently, the coming in from outdoors is made pleasant by finding even in a room filled with summer or furnace heat a bit of God's outdoors. Timely Tips. A well-known woman golfer who owns a beautiful, smooth complexion attributes the preservation of her skin to her method of dissolving a little isinglass in hot milk, bathing her face in it and allowing it to dry on before she ventures out. Any feeling of contraction soon passes off and the isinglass forms an invisible coating to the skin and protects it from the ravages of the wind. Instead of isinglass, either gelatin or white of egg beaten to a froth may be employed. The latter is an excellent remedy against chapping and is in itself a cleanser. How timid and piny seem the old-time roar of the ocean, the crowing of roosters and the creak of farm wagons when nowadays, as we winger in some distant caravansary, we recruit our wasted energies on hesitation, ragtime, phonographs, telephone bells and siren horns. Truth. We are born to inquire after truth —it requires a greater power to pos- ess it.—Montaligne.
