IN UNION FOR ESTABLISHMENT DETERMINED TO DISCREDIT US! THE TWO MOST VICIOUS PHOTO PLAYS BARRED FROM OHIO, THE SOUTH SENDS 'UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES! Watch For This Photoplay and See That the Parts Ordered Eliminated are Out of It—Keep "The Gazette" Posted, Too—Eternal Vigilance Necessary. Notwithstanding the fact that Gov. Willis assured the editor of The Gazette, many months ago, when we went to him with our plea against that miserable photoplay, "The Nigger," the opening wedge for "The Birth (Filth) of a Nation," that "no films which reflect upon any class of our citizens will be exhibited in this state," we had our fears. With the assistance of the loyal and active members of the race throughout the state, The Gazette was able to lead a successful fight against the first named photoplay, and have revoked the permit that had been given it to exhibit. Then came the repeated announcements, of "movie" theater managers throughout the state, to the effect that "The Birth of a Nation" was soon to be exhibited. Our people, headed by The Gazette, kept up the fight. The last week in September, the promoters of the maliciously harmful photoplay applied to the State Board of Film Censors, at Columbus, for a permit to show it in Ohio. They evidently waited until Gov. Willis was out of the state to apply for a permit. The following letter, written several weeks ago, gave us confidence however. Dear Mr. Smith:—I am in receipt of marked copies of newspaper calling attention to the objectionable film ("The Birth of a Nation") regarding which we have had considerable correspondence. I shall place this communication before the State Board of Film Censors. The law must be enforced and so far as I have power to prevent, it no films which reflect upon any class of our citizens will be exhibited in this state. On Sept. 28 came the welcome news that the State Board of Film Censors and denied the request of the promoters of the miserable play; and on the morning of Sept. 29 came the splendid communication from the chairman of the board to be found elsewhere in this paper. It is an exceptional and unanswerable reply to the promoters' request for approval of "The Birth (Filth) of a Nation" and we congratulate Chairman Williams and the rest of the members of the board on the same. The position they take is a credit allie to the great state of Ohio, Gov. Willis and the board itself. That our people of the state fully appreciate it there can be no doubt. We have escaped the riots and other disgraceful results the miserable photoplay has thrust upon Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Chicago and other cities in those states. THANK THE LORD! Meantime, do not forget HIS instruments—our friends—Frank B. Willis, the State Board of Film Censors and "the old reliable" Gazette, which is always "on the firing line" when the race's rights, privileges and interests are being assailed or are in danger, and which ACCOMPLISHES RESULTS, with the help of the loyal and active of the race. Additional satisfaction can be gained from the knowledge that the State Industrial Board, which has jurisdiction over the State Board of Film Censors, has already refused to rescind bans placed on films by the State Censors. ANOTHER VICIOUS PHOTOPLAY. That prejudiced .southerners, and their northern allies, are determined to discredit our people, in this section of the country, in the eyes of the northern whites, and intensify the feeling against us to the point that it exists in the southland, there can be no question. Furthermore, that they are using vicious, malicious and infamous photoplays, principally, to do this, we are now thoroughly convinced. Many months ago when the editor of The Gazette started the fight, in Ohio, against those miserable films, "The Nigger" and "The Birth As to Candidates! Candidates who do not care enough for your votes to ask for them through the columns of "the old reliable" Gazette, do not care much, if any, for your political support. Please remember THAT, Nov. 2, 1915, and also remember to vote, as far as you can, for those who DO ask your support in these columns. ---Editor THE GAZETTE of a Nation," went to Gov. Willis repeatedly relative to them, and continued to lead the effort against them until they were barred from the state by the State Board of Film Censors, we felt that the first-named photoplay was only the opening wedge for "The Birth of a Nation" and others of a like nature, and told the Governor so. We were not mistaken, as all now known. On Tuesday evening, Sept. 28, 1915, we happened in a leading motion-picture theater in the heart of this city and witnessed a photoplay, "Under Southern Skies," which contained several scenes that were worthy of places in both of the miserable films very properly barred from Ohio by our state officials. Not only were "sub-titles" of "Under Southern Skies" extremely insulting and offensive but there was a scene where an especially vicious-appearing "Negro" was shown struggling to overpower a white girl, And this entirely,foreign to the play, too! Nevertheless, it was repeated and for a purpose too obvious for even the dull person not to understand. It was there to impress all who saw it with the false idea that "Negroes" were continually after white women--assaulting them. There were other bad features. We immediately notified the chairman of the State Board of Censors and received the following letter in reply: October 1, 1915. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette, Dear Sir: —I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favor referring to the five-reel production, "Under Southern Skies," and note what you say in reference to same. The records show that this film was approved by this Board with the following eliminations: 3rd reel: Cut out struggle between man and girl in yard. 4th reel: Cut out subtitle, "Steve, you don't mean Negro blood." Cut out scene of struggle between man and girl in yard. Cut out fight. 5th reel: Cut out man bound to tree. Cut out shooting. With kindly regards, Yours very truly, CHAS. G. WILLIAMS. In answer to the foregoing we wired Chairman Williams that the Universal Film Mfg. Co., which was promoting "Under Southern Skies," was ignoring the Board's order to eliminate the objectionable features, noted in his letter, and received the following telegram in reply: Connusus, O., Oct. 2, 1915. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. We were the company to make the eliminations at once. You can take it up with your local authorities if they fail to do so. The Ohio Board of Censors. Let our people throughout Ohio be on the watch for this and every other viciously harmful (to the race) photoplay, and keep The Gazette and Chairman Williams posted, whenever it is found necessary, just as we have done in the case of the miserable films, "The Nigger," "The Birth of a Nation" and "Under Southern Skies." It must be "eternal vigilance" with us, all the time, if we are to keep this state free from such rot. JOHN J. BENNER A Candidate for the People as Councilman of the 11th Ward. Mr. Benner favors open streets west to E. 9th St., and north to Euclid Ave. Also to put streets in proper condition which at present are in a row, Mr. Benner has free public bath house for the ward. He will also see to it that the ward gets better lighting facilities, if elected. Mr. Benner has been a resident of the ward for fourteen years and has been in business there for nine years.

ELDER SHEAFE ON RELIGIOUS CREED Los Angeles Minister Leaves Adventists' Conference. CHURCH DRAWS COLOR LINE Militant Race Leader and Biblicist Refuses to Have His Parishioners Submit to Segregation as Outlined by Seventh Day Denomination in Southern California. By CHARLES ALEXANDER. Los Angeles, Cal.-Rev. Lewis C. Sheafe, a valued elder of the Seventh Day Adventist denomination, demonstrated his pluck and manly courage recently when he withdrew from the southern California conference of the denomination he has served so long and faithfully on account of its doctrine bearing upon the color line. During the past year Elder Sheafe found in Los Angeles a splendid church. The members of this church also withdrew from the conference and passed ringing resolutions setting, forth the reasons for their action. The name of the church founded by Rev. Mr. Sheafe is the Beren Seventh Day Adventist's church. Since its severance from the conference it is now a church with a devoted congregation, "victims' church" with Rev. Lewis C. Sheafe of 1442 West Thirty-fifth) street, this city, as pastor. The action of the Rev. Mr. Sheafe and his members is regarded as an event of great historical importance. The trouble grew out of the fact that Mr. Sheafe and his members could not conscientiously subscribe to certain REV. LEWIS G. SHEAFE. sentiments contained in "The Testimonies," volume 9, bearing on the color line. This book is regarded by the elders as inspired writing. Mrs. Ellen G. White, the author, was, according to the elders of the Seventh Day Adventists' church, divinely inspired, and the "Testimonies" serves as an infallible guide to all the believers in this denomination. Although her work lacks literary merit, she has written some excellent things about the Bible. Her arguments, however, are wanting in orderly arrangement and progressive and logical presentation, and they are especially grievously offensive when treating the color question. Rev. Mr. Sheafe was asked if he believed all of the "Testimonies," and he frankly avowed that he did not and gave his reasons as follows: "The Testimonies teaches racial discrimination and does not harmonize with the Bible." We quote: "From Australia, across the broad waters of the Pacific, cautious were sent that every movement must be guarded, that the workers were to make no political speeches and that the mingling of whites and blacks in social equality was by no means to be encouraged. * * * In regard to white and colored people worshiping in the same building, this cannot be followed as a going step. The best thing will be to provide the colored people with places of worship of their own, in which they can carry on their services by themselves." This is the doctrine of separation and is diametrically opposed to this author's teaching in her earlier writings. On page 202 of this "sacred" book the author declares that "but for several reasons white men must be chosen as leaders." This means that, however capable, no colored man can lead in this denomination. This, with other sentiments in the "Testimonies," proved more than this hereto body of Christian workers could stand; hence they withdrew. Planning For Presidential Campaign The various political organizations throughout the country are beginning to lay plans for the presidential campaign to be waged in 1916. The leaders in the several political parties will be guided largely in their immediate future actions by the results of the coming November elections in the states and municipalities. The colored voters, especially the Republicans, will be heard from in no uncertain way because of the bright outlook at this early date for the success of the Republican ticket. A large increase of votes is expected in the states where the colored citizens have hitherto been deprived of their votes. It is in such states, therefore, that the contest between the two leading parties will be the severest. FREE SEVENTH DAY CHURCH PASSES STRONG RESOLUTIONS And, whereas, "opportunities are continually presenting themselves in the southern states and many wise Christian leaders, but for several reasons: white men must be chic on as leaders"; and, whereas, the saliva determination makes marked discrimination in school and santiamurial advancement; whereas, Elder Lewis C. Sheafe and wife have resigned from the employ of the southern California conference of Seventh Day Adventists because they could not be taken by the position taken by the denominal *pi*; there are, be it resolved, That the Beran (urch of Seventh Day Adventists within, its membership from the conference) cause the denominational position of discrimination in teaching and practice is contrary to the plain teaching of Christ and his Apostles. We extend to Elder Lewis C. Sheafe and wife our confidence and love and that we corollary invite Elder Sheafe to accept the pastorate of the Beran, urch of Free Seventh Day Adventists, to support, spiritually and financially, to carry forward the great work of the third angel's message as God shall direct; and, resolved, that we invite Christians of all and any of us to join in the light of God's word, and that if they find us to be on a good, safe and sane basis to feel free to unite with us; resolved, that equal rights, personal and respect, be accorded to all men of every race. The above resolutions were signed by a large number of members and friends and were unanimously adopted. This is one of the most unusual events of our generation, and the colored people of Los Angeles of every denomination are applauding the Rev. Mr. Sheafe and his congregation for the noble and heroic stand they took in this matter. The Los Angeles branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People indores the act and approves of the resolutions. JACKSON COLLEGE OPENS. Mississippi Institution Begins School Year With a Large Enrollment. Jackson, Miss.—Probably at no time in its history of thirty-eight years has Jackson college. in this city, begun a term's work with brighter outlook than is true of this year. Certainly if a propitious opening counts for anything the year's work should be crowned with marvelous success. At the opening exercises recently held the spacious chapel of the college was filled with students and friends. President Z. T. Hubert conducted the devotions and then delivered an address setting forth what he hoped would be the ideals of the faculty and student body for the year. Short addresses of welcome were made by a number of ministers and professional men of the city, among whom were Lawyer Perry W. Howard, president of the National Negro Bar association; Lawyer S. A. Beadle, Dr. R. L. Johnson and Dr. D. W. Turner. The registration on the first day was unusually large and included many students from representative towns in the state. President Hubert and the faculty feel encouraged over the outlook. Among the new faces on the faculty are to be seen Mr. Noel P. Brown of Greenville, Miss., graduate of Oberlin college, who takes chemistry and psychology; Miss M. L. Witten of Springfield, Mass., graduate of the Westfield Normal school, who heads the teacher's professional work and supervises the work of the primary practice school; Miss R. N. Anderson of Chicago, graduate of Fisk university, dining hall matron and assistant in sewing, and Miss R. B. Cheek, graduate of Spellman seminary, who comes as eighth grade teacher. National Grand Masonic Lodge Meets. Marked progress in the membership and general work of the Masonic fraternity in Georgia was shown in the reports made at the recent communication of the national grand lodge, Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons, held in Atlanta, Ga. It was the twenty-second triennial grand communication of the order, and there were representatives from all sections of the country. The grand lodge received letters from Emerson William, the grand lodge of Emerson and from Mario Materal, president of Culá. The national grand court of Herodes of Jericho held their grand session at the same time. LEADS ALONG MANY LINES. Notable Career of Woman Who Was Loft Motherless in Her Infancy, Gains Distinction as Educator, Author and Promoter—Duo Preparation in Secret of Her Success. Mobile. Alm.—This state has to Its credit among the colored people many well educated and capable business women. One of the foremost and most widely known of this class of women is Mrs. Sarah J. Duncan of this city, who is a native of Dallas county. Mrs. Duncan was left motherless in her infancy. She was reared by a godmother and became a Christian before she entered her teens. She has made the struggle up from obscurity to wide prominence through persistent effort and is recognized in bunt- MRS. SARAH J. DUNCAN. ness, religious and educational circles as a woman of rare culture and refinement. Before taking up her residence in this city Mrs. Duncan was the manager of the Southern Printing company at Selma, Ala., of which she was the founder and owner. Her work in Mobile includes many activities. She is the superintendent of the Metropolitan Exchange, a business concern owned by the Home Economic club; chief clerk for Knox Bros., leading undertakers, and has charge of the office of the Voice of the People, which is the organ of the Masonile fraternity. Mrs. Duncan was for many years one of the leading public school teachers in this state. As a teacher she made a fine record in every branch of school work which she had charge of. In appreciation of her efforts and for the splendid work which she did, as an educator the authorities at the Agricultural and Mechanical college of Normal, Ala., conferred upon Mrs. Duncan in 1905 the degree of master of arts. "This honor came as a great surprise to her. Instead of resting, as it were, upon her ears after receiving such distinction she seemed to work more zealously for the advancement of the race in everything with which she had to do. As a writer Mrs. Duncan has shown extraordinary ability. She is the author of a 300 page book, entitled "Progressive Missions in the South." The book is a splendid guide for those who wish to be reliably informed on how to do effective missionary work as well as to know what has been accomplished in mission work at home and abroad. Although one of the most modest of women, Mrs. Duncan is proud of her efforts in this respect because of the assistance she has rendered others in preparing to be of greater service to humanity. In order to equip herself further for business Mrs. Duncan applied for a license as a notary public and was given authority as such by the governor of Alabama in April, 1915. Her clientele is large, as she is an officer in one of the leading secret organizations in the state and well known among the leading business concerns and religious organizations in all parts of the state. Mrs. Duncan's office is in the Masonic Temple building, where she is kept busy at all times. She is a pioneer in a legal way in showing what a woman may accomplish if she is energetic and well prepared for her work. It is no easy task which Mrs. Duncan undertakes, to execute fully the many duties which devolve on her from day to day, but there is a secret in how she has been able to accomplish so much of good, and that secret is preparedness. To our young people Mrs. Duncan's career and the success which she has attained should be an inspiration, for it cannot be said that she had superior advantages for either educating herself or obtaining a lucrative position. She secured both by her own energies. Woody Heads Jersey Sunday Schools. Thomas C. Woody of Roselle, N. J., was elected president of the New Jersey state Sunday food convention at the annual meeting of that organization, held at the Bethany Baptist church in Newark, Oct. 5. Mr. Woody is well known for his activity in religious work. HARRIS KEWING John W. Belt of Louisville, Ky., is the special representative of "the United States Department of Agriculture" for Carranza on his trip through the northern Mexico states. Mr. Belt is secretary to the department, and he is a senior representative in Mexico. He is a graduate of the law school of the University of Virginia and has deputy college of agriculture at Panama. He is an official of the Pan-American union. A BILLION WILL BE ASKED FOR DEFENSE Wilson May Outline Plans to About Double the Navy and Quadruple the Fighting Forces on Land. Washington, D. C.—A national defense program that probably means an expenditure on the army and navy of upwards of $1,000,000,000 in the next six years will be laid before the people by President Wilson Nov. 4. when he goes to New York to make his first public address since the scope of the policy upon which his administration has embarked became known. He will speak before the Manhattan club of New York on national defense and the reasons which have impelled him to approve plans to about double the navy and quadruple the trained, fighting forces ashore within a few years. Breadth of Policy, Being Realized. With the estimates of the war and navy departments submitted for the coming year, the breadth of the administration's policy as to preparedness is being realized. It shapes up in-totals as follows: Navy—For new ships and increased personnel in five years, $500,000,000. Army—For reserve material (arms and ammunition) within four years, $105,000,000. For Coast Defense $81,000,000. For new coast defenses and modernization of old forts within four years, $81,000,000. For the new continental army and the proposed increase in the regular army, $26,000,000. (This amount probably will be a continuing, and if anything an increasing appropriation through the first six-year period, which would make the total expenditure at that time $156,000,000.) The grand total expenditure thus actually planned would be $842,000,000. A definite step toward enlarging the navy was taken Monday when contracts were awarded for 22 fighting craft authorized by the last congress. The day set a new record for the department in the number of contracts awarded. Neither war nor navy department estimates for the coming year have been made public as yet in detail. It was learned, however, that of the $72,000,000 increase over last year's bill to be asked by the war department, $16,000,000 would go toward reserve material and coast defense works, the remaining $26,000,000 to be used in building up the new armies, regular and continental. Differs With Donahex Columbus, O—Taking a contrary view to that of Auditor of State Donahue, Attorney General Turner says that the 10 members of the state board of agriculture do not have to be reappointed. Donahue recently sent the governor a letter declaring that it would be necessary to reappoint the members because the law creating the board had been amended. Turner gave the governor a ruling Monday, holding it would not be necessary to reappoint. The amendatory act prescribed that the terms of the members should begin Jan. 13, 1916, but this did not go into effect until after July 22, 1915, when the governor appointed the members for terms of less than a year. Assist Stricken Jews. New York City—Isidore Herschfield, director of the Hebrew Shelteting and Immigrant Aid society, plans to leave Thursday on the stairway Ryudam for The Hague with large funds and a big staff of assistants to assist stricken Jews in leaving the war zones for America. The party is backed by all the Jewish national associations. They will get in touch with the 1,500,000 Hebrews who are already homeschool in Europe, owing to the war, and will locate their relatives and friends in the United States. IN WHICH FREEDOM IS GIVEN STRONG PLEA FOR FAIR TREATMENT New York Age Takes Up Fight Started by Dr. Robert E. Jones of New Orleans on Anti-saloon League Which He Claims Draws the Color Line In Its Work. In a recent issue of the New York Age Editor Fred R. Moore calls the attention of the public and our race in particular to the attitude of some so called uplift movements in which prejudice against the colored people is practiced, to an alarming degree. The Age points to the acts of one of these so called uplift movements and backs its opinion by quoting from an editorial written by Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate at New Orleans. The statement of the Age is in part as follows: "Those who take leadership in the so called uplift movements would probably be the first to deny that they entertain feelings of racial prejudice against the Negro people, yet it is a matter of comment, more or less common among thoughtful men of the race, that there is more race prejudice in these so called uplift movements than among any other groups of people. It is a strange thing that this race prejudice in carrying forward these movements never manifests itself against the Germans as, Germans, against Italians as, Italians, against Poles as Poles or against any other group of our alien population. But wherever the Negro, who is a native born citizen, is concerned immediately race prejudice rears its ugly head, and the leaders in these uplift movements find themselves helpless—that is, too weak to undertake a straight out, stand up position in opposition to such racial prejudice! "Our attention has lately been called to the attitude and activities of" the so called Anti-saloon league, one of these uplift movements, and its officers. It seems that most of their activities during the past six or eight years have been devoted to the south. Taking advantage of the distranchising laws of that section, which exclude the Negro from voting, the officers of the Anti-saloon league, so it is alleged, have gone to the southern white voters with the cunning plan, that their fight for prohibition in the south is not aimed so much at the whites as at the Negroes of the south. "Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern, Christian Advocate at New Orleans, is one of the best known and one of the most unselfish leaders of the Negro people. So flagrant was the prejudice shown, by the representatives of the Anti-slaon league in Louisiana that Dr. Jones was moved to editorial protest against the discriminations shown by the so called 'flying squadron' of the league. The Negro people of Louisiana constitute nearly one-half of the population of the state. They were entirely ignored and spurned when the Anti-slaon league launched its movement in Louisiana. "Not only is the Negro generally excluded from all meetings held in the interest of and by whites, but nothing was done to tie to the movement the influence of the colored people as represented by their ministers and business men. In view of the prejudiced disposition of the so-called 'flying squadron', Dr. Jones wrote in his paper a full statement, which is called to the attention of the Negro people that they may know, what they have to-expect when they are dealing with such 'uplifera.'" Dr. Jones' editorial says among other things: "Moreover, recognizing the situation we face in this city and in the south, the colored citizens of this city (New Orleans) made an effort to secure the services of at least one of these speakers in order that the Negro population might be somewhat aroused on the temperance question. The state superintendent of the Anti-slavery league was written, the chairman of the committee in charge in New Orleans was written and other efforts were made. The Ministerial alliance, composed of all the colored ministers, in the city, appointed a special committee to cooperate. No response came. "During the presence of the flying squadron' in the state the Louisiana annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church was in session in Alexandria, Bishop Napthall Luccock presiding. This conference had upward of 200 ministers attending, with a local membership throughout the state of 18,000 and an additional constituency of at least 30,000. At the time this conference was in session a member of the flying squadron was invited by Bishop Luccock and the conference to address the body and agreed to fix an hour that was convenient to the speaker. There was no effort to yield to this invitation, nor was there a response. "We reluctantly call attention to this matter because if we could be forgotten and absolutely eliminated and thereby win the temperature fight we would be willing, but this procedure would not be done," he told that this is a political fight and that the Negroes have been franchised."

DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY. “Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith us to us to the end dare to do our duty, to understand it”—Abraham Lincoln. Right on top of George W. Perkins's dinners and declarations, and following hard on Victor Murdock's predictions, the unfeeling Progressives in Brooklyn flocked into a primary and voted for Republican candidates. "One way to solve the scarcity of dyestuffs is to educate the people to wear white hosiery," declares Dr. Thomas H. Norton, chemical expert of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Pshew! The late Jerry Simpson had arrived at a more practical solution years ago. Rev. Frank Crane, in one of his popular syndicated articles, invigiles against the sin of over-eating and suggests the formation of a "League of One Dish." This is easy. Since a Democratic tariff went into effect the "League of One Dish" has already been found. The one dish is soup, and the members get it at the soup-houses. It's settled! The city editor (white), of the Columbus, Ohio, State Journal, says "Gov. Willis is no friend of the Colored people, except as he can get their votes when he is running for office." Wonder how some people know other people's matters of friendship, etc., better (?) than the latter know them themselves Strange, isn't it? See Thos. A. Godee's letter, from Columbus, elsewhere in this paper. New York City, Chicago and Boston Afro-American seems to have tired of their fight on "The Birth of a Nation," while at Philadelphia and Pittsburg the battle still rages. What is the matter with our people and papers of the first two-named cities? They seem to have promptly "given up" when the photoplay managers started an injunction suit, and apparently have made no effort to have the injunction dissolved. This is so unlike our Chicago people that we cannot understand it. Will Editor Turner of the Illinois Idea, Chicago, please explain? Really, this race of ours can furnish some of the "smallest" individuals calling themselves "big Negroes," to be found on the face of the globe. They sit around and do absolutely nothing for their greatly harassed people, waiting patiently until one of the latter does something of consequence, and then they proceed, immediately to try to "litch credit from the deserving one for themselves or for some one else. It's the "limit" though when they try to give a "white" man credit their own people are clearly entitled to. One or two of our leading papers seem to delight in promoting their contemptible efforts, too. Why? One of the leading industrial nations of Europe once urged its citizens "never to forget when you buy a foreign article your country is the poorer." That it was sound advice, no one can deny. The truth of the proposition is too plain for even a schoolboy to question. And yet it is a truth that one of the great political parties of this country has persistently refused to recognize. The whole purpose of a protective tariff is to discourage the purchase of foreign goods and to induce citizens of our own country to buy goods produced at home. The whole purpose of low tariffs is to make it easier to buy in foreign markets. The Democratic party stands for low tariffs or free trade and expects lower tariffs to produce relatively more revenue because of larger importations. It refuses to recognize the important fact that "when you buy a foreign article your country is poorer." The "white" Republicans of Cleveland are reminding us so much of our own people, these days, that one cannot help noticing and speaking of it. They have two or more candidates for mayor, and several councilmanic candidates in some of the most important Republican wards, while the Democrats have but one. It's just the Roosevelt-Taft vs. Wilson political mess, of two and three quarters' years ago, over again only on a much smaller scale. It is so like the political and other doings of the "Negro." almost always, that it is really amusing even if it is most unfortunate. And they have been for many years and still are continually telling US to "get together and have one candidate for the place and you will get it"—giving advice they themselves cannot follow! Rich, isn't it? Well, we will not forget "to hand it back" to them, either, now and in the future, whenever opportunity affords. AN OPEN LETTER From James S. Lytle, Candidate For Council From the Eleventh Ward Subject to Election Nov. 2, 1915. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette Dear Sir:—I count as one of the finest honors in the world unstained election to public office, and, when I announced my candidacy for council I declared I would rather court defeat than promise rashly to gain a single vote. The Eleventh ward has always been a Republican ward. I have been a Republican all my life because I believed Republican principles are the principles of progress JAMES S. LYTLE and prosperity, and if there is one virtue that binds me to the colored voter it is his loyalty to the Republican party. None but able men have been councilmen from the Eleventh ward, and it will be a proud moment for me if I can measure up to their record of service in the performance of public duty. Politics may be the sepulchor of weak characters but if I have read history to any purpose it has the ability of strong characters, for we have strengths strengthen strong convictions. I have never faltered in my political utterances and I have never betrayed a trust or a friend. For sixteen years I have been a proofreader on a local daily newspaper and if I am elected I will be as loyal to the interests of the Eleventh ward and the entire city as I have been loyal to my employer. If on November 20 I am elected I will accept it as a trust to be kept violate, and what talent and energy possess I will willingly devote to my business. I will radiate happiness to Kirkwood, Mo. 42 years ago, and I have lived my life tending mostly to my own business. I have tried to win happiness for myself and I believe the best way to radiate happiness is to give the other fellow a chance to find happiness in his own way so long as he does not hit his neighbor in the effort. This is my platform and I sincerely believe it is the best platform of any candidate in the Eleventh ward. At any rate it is the honest expression of my honest opinions. October 21. Jas. S. Lytle.

I believe in temperance. Therefore, I am opposed to prohibition. Now, let us have a system of local option where in any given community they will support the enforcement of the law. Let us deal with human nature as it is. Understand what conditions are and then adopt laws that govern them. Do not put a lot of laws on our own hands that we know in our hearts we can't enforce—just an attempt to fool the people." Prohibition does not prohibit! In all the Southland our people have no truer or better leader than Rev. Dr. Robert E. Jones a member of the race and editor of The Southwestern Christian Advocate, an organ of the M. E. Church. Elsewhere in this paper, read what he has to say of the aggravating and gratuitous INSULTS given his bishop, the Rt. Rev. Napthali Luccock, and the entire Louisiana M. E. Conference, over 200 ministers of color, by the Anti-Saloon League of that state. Then remember that nearly one thousand Cleveland Afro-Americans, and many thousands elsewhere in the state, will lose their jobs and will have to compete with you for yours, if "Prohibition" carries on election day, November 2, 1915. Maine, a "Prohibition" state, buys more liquor in Massachusetts than it did before it adopted "Prohibition." This same thing is true in the cases of nearly all other "Prohibition" states.

Elaborate masterpieces were displayed by the class to about 100 admiring friends. Many of our leading voters, and scores of voters, in the 11th ward, are opposed to Tom Fleming's candidacy for the City Council. Many think he is asking too much, and frankly say so. Others remember his failure to accomplish results of especial interest in the city, and that he entire city, when a member of the council before. Still others say membership on the state republican committee and a deputy oil inspectorship is more than enough for ONE person, republican or otherwise, in the ward. There are many other complaints against him, and oppose him, which it is unnecessary to enumerate and state at this time. Last week, Thursday evening, Chas P. Salen, non-partisan candidate for mayor, spoke to two Afro-American clubs. "When I am elected mayor I will not draw a color line," he told members of the C. C. B.

Two hundred gave him a rousing reception at the Workingmen's Social and Literary club, at Teutonia hall, corner Scovill Ave. and E. 31st St., when he arrived there about 11:15 p.m. The enthusiasm was great and was drowned in applause when Mr. Salen told of the liberal plank in his platform. "Only a lumatic would run for office as a dry in Cleveland," he asserted. He said he was a "sport" and favored clean boxing. That brought more applause. J. E.

Councilman William Stolte, of the 19th ward, candidate for re-election to the City Council, Nov. 2, 1915, is so well known to our people of the East End, especially in ward 19, that it is hardly necessary to urge them to support his candidacy at this time.

Willis with "Playing Peanut Politics" and Says the Latter "is no Friend of the Colored People"—Ohio Baptist Convention Resolutions. Columbus, October 15, 1915. Hon. Harry C.

I with which concur in this city on Oct. 13, 14 and 15. I called on the city editor of the (Columbus) O hic State Journal (a daily) and asked him if he would publish them, and if affected astonishment at the request, "What for," he said, "Willis is no friend of the Colored people, except as he can get their votes when he is running for office. All that he has done he has been governor is simply to play "peanut" politics. Our space is most too valuable to use if for this kind of endorsement." Very respect Thos. A. Goode, Assistant F Marshall of Ohio. The Resolutions. Whereas, The Governor of Ohio has been severely attacked because of the suppression of Dixon's infamous photo play, "The Birth of a Nation," and Whereas, The statement has been printed that "the governor's fear of losing the Colored vote had caused the Ohio censors to reject the film," and Whereas, Mr. C. G. Williams, chairman of the board of censors, has made, in regard to this film, the statement which The Gazette published (in full) last week. Therefore, be it resolved, by the delegates of the Colored Baptist churches of Ohio, in regular convention assembled in the city of Columbus, this the thirteenth day of October, 1915, that we condemn all such film productions as tending only to stir up ill-feeling between the races and thus hindering both religious and moral progress in the state.

Quality Service W.785 C.3933 MATERIALS FOR COATS CLOTH, VELVET, FAILLE, AND SILK MAY ALL BE EMPLOYED. Special Arrangement Accentuate the Low Waist Line—No Sign That Furs Are to Be Less Worn—Every Kind in Order. Cloth and velvet are used for long street coats, whether they be the redingote that reaches to the top of the skirt hem, or the Robespierre coat that just clears the knees. Faillie is also employed when the coat is for afternoon wear and trimmed with fur. Silk is featured for outdoor wear this season, although the average American may not consider it sufficiently warm; it will admirably suit those who live in the South and Southwest; that should be joyful news to them, for the fashion makers have nearly always left them out of the reckoning when laying down the laws. The various styles in long coats usually accent a low waist line by the manner of cutting the cloth and arranging the seam, or by the placement of some kind of belt. Cords are used, run through slides of the material, sometimes huge bolts of fur are put there. The latter is one of the many ways invented to smother a garment with plenty this season. There has never been a time since man covered himself with the skins of wild beasts to hide his bare skin that so much fur is worn. Women never refuse this fashion. They leap at it, and overdo it as much as the most ardent furrier could wish. Good or bad, dyed or natural, colored or white furs are chosen over any other kind of raiment, and economy is practiced in every other department of dress and the household in order to buy petry. The low-crowned hat is no longer in first fashion. The milliners decided together that no money would be forthcoming if only variations on the prevailing shape were devised for the incoming season. So they launched the high-crowned hat. The old ones won't do; of that there is no doubt. The breths of Henry IV, the Gor *Purple Beaver Cloth With Burnt Ostrich Tips.* back's fur turban, the postillon of 1900, the Eton schoolboy's top hat of silk beaver, the high sailor of pannie plush, the Puritan hat with its silver buckle—these are features of millinery. <Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) SOME CHARMING NEW FROCKS Bustles and Baques Mark Many of the Styles That Have Recently Been Introduced. A very dashing frock is "Revanche" with its tight black satin basque caught together in points in front over a high-collared glet of white satin. The basque, which ripples violently from the waist line, is cut in points at the bottom and edged with fur. The skirt of black cloth is full and flaring. "Florlado" is an evening coat of black and hordeaux red velvet, trimmed with skunk, and "Miguel" is a charming little creation of gray blue faille, with the skirt tucked up in back to produce a bustle effect. The turned-up folds are caught with dull pink roses. Paquin uses much brilliant red panne velvet in cloaks and frocks and much yellow taffeta—all the shades of amber—in evening gowns. These taffeta evening gowns are very short and flaring and are either scalloped or cut in points at the bottom where they are cunningly stiffened with narrow-cord red ruffles, shirred very full. Often the tightly shirred little ruffles are placed on the under side of the skirt and show with each movement of the wearer—Kansas City Star. GOOD IDEA FOR INITIALS Those That Can Be Brought to Light by Means of Cutwork Have Many Advantages. Should you be tired of embroidered initials worked in solid stitches follow the idea of one clever girl and on your towels, pillowcases and other pieces of linen stamp initials that can be brought to light by means of cut work. The effect will be more than satisfactory. Of course, a double line of stamping is necessary in order to do the cut work. Outline each stroke forming the letter and then buttonhole over the outlining. At intervals between the doubles lines make bridges. This is done by taking a long stitch from one line across to the opposite one and then working back over the line with buttonhole stitches. The closer the bridges are laid together the fir- mer will be the initial. After the material on which the initial has been embroidered has been washed, cut the material away from beneath the bridges, using a sharp UNDER WOOD UNDER WOOD The Picture Shows Miss Dorothy Richardson in Negligee of Pink Crepe de Chine.

It is a never ending, messy job to keep it touched up, for most hair grows about an inch a month; and worse, or best of all, the deception rarely deceives anyone. The lines that care and experience and thought have written into every mature face require the softening effect of the silver tones above it. Dyed hair has a hardening effect on some faces, and to others it gives an almost cruel look. But once having accepted gray hair, make of it your greatest beauty. It must be kept spotlessly clean, washed often. Use only the best and purest liquid soap, as free from alkali as possible, and treat it as the laudress does her fine linen. Put it through many rinsings to get rid of every particle of soap, the last one being quite cool and deep blue with indigo. Let the hair rest in this for a few minutes, moving it about in the bath so as to absorb as much of the bluing as possible, and then dry it thoroughly with warm towels and vigorous rubbing. The bluing serves to soften the dulled, lifeless look which always results from washing gray hair and gives uniformity of shading. Streaked locks in gray hair are its worst feature, and especially is this true of blond gray hair. But the scalp then with white vase-line, taking care not to let it get upon the hair, and brush it—brush it vigorously night and morning to give it the silvery gleaming that is so beautiful in well-knew gray hair. To Cover Buttons Do you cover your own buttons? It means a saving and gives variety to a costume. It can be done by crochet stitches or by needlework as well as by bits of fancy silk, too insignificant for any other use. Objections have been heard on the score that the result was not as satisfactory as professional work, but the answer to that is the injunction to do all the work neatly. Slitshod methods are to be condemned everywhere, although, to be sure, time is wasted in the inside finish of frocks. Even expensive dressmakers have taken a hint from Paris and concentrated on externals. Good Hair Tonic. A French preparation which is a commercial article of considerable value can be made in one's own home after the following recipe: Put in a double boiler one ounce of oil of sweet almonds, one dram of spermaceti, white wax or beeswax and dissolve with a very gentle heat. Remove from the fire and stir in three drams of tincture of mastic. Bottle and cork until wanted. Apply small quantity and arrange the hair loosely.—New York Evening Telegram. New Trimming Lacings appear in some of the new frocks and blouses. Sleeves are sometimes laced from the elbow to the wrist, or even from the shoulder to $ ^{13} $ elbow. Lacings appear down the front of blouses and at the collar. The lacings are of a contrasting color, usually. scissors for the purpose, and using great care not to cut a bridge. Crocheted Cap. Every woman will want a boudoir cap when she reads about the one about to be described. It is made of lavender silk which has been crocheted in fairly loose stitches to form the crown. Tighter stitches, arranged in closer rows, form the band and two tabs which turn back at the sides. The band and the tabs are ornamented with pink roses and green leaves embroidered with heavy rope silk. Stripes Acceptable Stripes are the most acceptable of all the black and white combinations, if one may judge by the number of black and white striped frocks that one sees. There are some charming afternoon frocks of this sort in chiffon or silk volle, with stripes in inch and a half or two inches wide. These frocks are made with black or white- or trimming bands, vests, collars, cuffs and girdle—to accentuate their character. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 23. 1915 CARRANZA IS NOW CHIEF EXECUTIVE United States and Latin American Republics Accord Him Recognition. CARRANZA AGENT THANKS LANSING United States Will Turn Over to the New Government $1,000,000 Customs Duties Collected at Vera Cruz During Occupation. Washington, D. C.—Venustano Carranze was officially recognized Tuesday by the United States and the Latin-American republics as chief executive of the de facto government of Mexico. This was accomplished by a letter to Carranza, forwarded through Eliseo Arredondo, his confidential agent here. To Appoint a Representative. The United States will at once appoint a diplomatic representative to Mexico. Henry P. Fletcher, ambassador to Chile, is almost certain to get the place, it is said. The friends of Brand Whitlock, United States ambassador to Belgium, are urging him for this promotion. It is understood the consular agents in this country who have been representing the Constitutionalists will be recognized and that United States consular agents in Mexico will at once be given credentials to the new government. Thanks Lansing for Act. Senor Arredondo visited the state department and personally thanked Secretary Lansing for the act of recognition. He said he would leave at once for Mexico for a conference with Carranza, his present plans providing for a meeting at Salillo. Arredondo expects to return carrying his commission as ambassador. He said his first duty on his return would be the negotiation of a loan from American financiers that would enable the new government to take a stable place in Mexico. During the occupation of Vera Cruz by the United States forces customs were collected at that port aggregating $1,000,000 in round numbers. This money was carried away when Vera Cruz was evacuated and deposited in the banks in New Orleans to be held in trust. These funds, it was said, will soon be turned over to the Carranza government. Already the administration has taken under consideration the question of an embargo upon the exportation of arms into Mexico. Carranza having been recognized as the chief executive, Villa becomes a revolutionist. And to him and all other insurgents the sale of arms will be prohibited. The department of justice says that recognition of Carranza would not stop the proceedings against former President Huerta, who is charged with violating the neutrality laws. NEW JERSEY DEFEATS WOMAN SUFFRAGE Majority Against the Proposition Will Reach 50,000; Leaders of Cause Contest Election in Courts. New York City—New Jersey rejected woman suffrage by a majority approximately of 50,000. As the returns became more complete the certainty of the defeat of the amendment became more apparent. Just before midnight Mrs. Lillian F. Felskert, president of the New Jersey State Association for Woman Suffrage, conceded defeat. Early returns indicated, however, that the amendment which would bar from contest for five years any defeated amendment to the state constitution, met the same decisive defeat as did suffrage. The leaders of the defeated cause will take immediate steps to contest the result in the courts. They will base their protest on the fact that the ballots were not numbered and that wholesale frauds were perpetrated as a result. Mrs. Mina Van Winkle, president of the Women's Political union, made unqualified charges of election frauds. From 5,000 watchers at the polls, who reported to her, she has obtained concrete facts and instances, she says. The slow returns indicated that the suffrage amendment will carry no more than three counties, if that. Dynamite Kills Seven Butte. Mont.—A wagon load of dynamite to be used for blasting blew up as it was being hauled into the yard of the Granite Mountain mine of the North Butte Co. and at least seven men were killed and five seriously injured, one of whom will probably die. A Reign of Terror London, England—The Daily Telegraph publishes this under date of Rotterdam: "There is a reign of terror in Belgium. News of some dark deeds, such as the execution of Nurse Cavell, is already known, but there is reason to believe that these are only a few incidents in a terrible chapter of the German frightfulness in that unhappy country. Following the allies' recent victories a wave of unreasoning panic swept over the Germans behind the front, from Gov. Gen. Von Bissing to his subordinates." Save Two From Death Chardon, O. — Aubrey Case and Frank Aschcraft risked their lives to save others from a fire that for a time threatened the hamlet of Fowlers Mills, six miles from Chardon, and destroyed the general store, residence and ice house of Arthur R. Carlson. It is believed the blaze started from a leaking carbide lighting plant. Carlson's aged father, Jacob, and his son went down celar with a candle. There was a cry of five and the building was a mass of flames within five minutes. REVIVING LONG TUNIC PARISIAN DRESSMAKERS WORK FOR ITS ADOPTION. Charming Model Recently Seen In France is Described by Correspondent—Postillion Hat Sure to Be a Favorite. Several notable Parisian dressmakers are reviving the long tunic. Some of the latest Callot models give this effect; Redfern also seems to favor the long, graceful tunic. Buf in all cases the underdress is quite as full as the tunic; indeed, the latter gives the effect of a double skirt, or immensely long flounce. A Callot model, recently worn at Blairzir by the duchess de Arion, lady-in-waiting to the queen of Spain, had an underdress of black charmeuse and a very long tunic of old yellow lace. On the hips, under the lace tunic, there was a deep insertion of silver lace, worked over with tiny beads in various shades of red, blue and gray. There were full lace sleeves, caught in at the wrist by bands of beaded silver lace, and a touch of rose pink was very cleverly introduced on the corsage. With this charming garden-party dress the duquesa wore a large, flat-brimmed hat, made of black chiffon and lined with black chip. Lewis is showing many lovely hats and toques. At first sight these models are quite startling, because in almost all cases the crowns are high, some of them even exaggeratedly high. The very newest and most popular model is the "Postillon" hat in black silk beaver. This is truly a quaint shape. Narrow in the brim and very high in the crown, with no trimming save a folded drapery drawn through a long diamond buckle; the latter being placed right in front of the hat. It is certain that this model will be one of the most fashionable novelties of the fall and winter seasons. It is just the right hat to wear with a Cossack coat; or with a redingote costume which is finished with a jer- 1 An Early Winter Model by Redfern, a Long Cossack Coat With Full Skirt to Match of Tan Covert Coating, a Sash of Black-and-Tan Striped Silk Jersey. sey silk sash. To women of regular features these postillon hats are infinitely becoming. Lewis is making his postillon shapes in many different materials, though those in black silk beaver are, perhaps, the best of all—Paris Correspondence of the Boston Globe. The Link-Button Idea Buttons are again to be featured in the autumn styles. Big ivory buttons are used on cloth one-piece frocks with striking results. The link-button idea is developed on some of the new frocks. Two large buttons are joined by a band of silk or a cord and are thrust through two buttonholes in the sort of standing collar that does not quite meet under the chin and through the sleeves open at the wrist. Woman's Best Friend. A cake of magnesia and a clothes brush are a frugal woman's friends. After brushing a dusty gown rub both sides of any soiled spots with the magnesia, which comes in cakes for that purpose, hang it away for a day or two and then brush again. The spots will be found to have disappeared. Care taken with dainty clothing is the secret of dressing well on limited means. The late Mme. Modieska had a wonderful collection of laces which were worn instead of being kept for show alone. They were cleaned with magnesia, liberally sprinkled through the meshes, the whole wrapped in tissue paper to remain until the chalk absorbed all the dirt A Crepe Hat. Light as the air is a wide Paris sailor of blue georgette crepe, which is charming enough in line and texture to require as a trimming but a cord and tassel of silver caught at one side of the brim. The fad of wide transparent hats is one most in keeping with the summer, and this hat, so severely plain, bears the mark of the CRETONNE TOQUE Underwood E Underwood An Out-of-the-Ordinary Millinery Creation In a Season When Velvet and Hatter's Plush Predominate, Is This Close-Fitting Toque. The Material Used is a Cretonne; This is Sown on the Close-Fitting Frame, Which is Shaped to Form a Cone on the Left Side, and Dropped on the Right, Where It is Knotted and Left to Hang Loosely. A Band of Dyed Raccoon is the Only Trimming. NEW GARMENT HAS CHARM Corset Cover, Easily Made at Home, Will Be Source of Gratification to Its Wearer. If you are tired of just underwaists and corset covers, the sleeveless, low- bust kind and the wee camisole, try making this quite new garment for wear under your blouse. Buy one yard of white silk muslin at 25 cents a yard, one and one-fourth yards of narrow, stout lace and two skins of white mercerized cotton, Make a waist by kimono pattern with very short sleeves, folding the goods crosswise. Cut the neck V shape in front and slightly rounded or equally Vd behind; have the fronts of the waist one-eighth inch longer than the back. Scallop the entire edge and ends of sleeves and do it in buttonhole stitch, preferably well padded. Then put a double row of French eyellets inside the buttonhole stitch. The seams are under the arms. Put these seams together with the lace; down the front put the lace also, tacking to one side; the other side may be fastened with tiny snaps or with wee gold pins. Turn up the bottom of the waist and fit by means of rubber band run through the hem made. This, by the way, is the easiest way to finish all blouses just now. Lace blouses are usually lined with chiffon, and the chiffon shrinks when the blouse is washed, leaving a garment that has lost its loveliness. With the new corset cover chiffon linings can be removed before the first washing. No lining is needed with such an underwash. DESIGNED FOR YOUNG MISS Many Attractive Features Have Been Provided—Belted Coats Are Among the Favored Ones. The box coat for misses is very youthful and becoming. Another style for misses is the flare coat, the fullness starting from the shoulders and occasionally from a small yoke. This is also made quite short and jaunty. Sometimes these coats are made with a flare back and a more fitted front. Russian styles are well liked for young people. Some of them fasten at the side, while others button up the front. Belted coats will also be worn to a great extent. Sometimes the belt appears only at the sides, while in others it appears only in back and front. Many times belts are placed at a low waist line. High collars are worn with almost all suits, frequently arranged so as to be worn either open or closed. Coat sleeves are in regulation style, set on at a low shoulder or in modified raglan effect. Flare and gauntlet cuffs are often used as a finishing touch and are frequently of fur or velvet. Skirts are in various styles. Simple suits are in gored, modified, circular style or with plaits at sides, front or back. Grenadine Again. Grenadine, which a few years ago was so highly favored for afternoon and evening gowns, is again being revived and the combination with tafeta is unusually attractive. extreme cachet of the mode. The brim has a firtitious lilt, only possible in a hat so sheer. This hat, like the other transparent hats, may answer for both formal and informal wear. Trimmed Skirts. It is predicted that trimmed skirts will be very much in evidence during the coming season. Heretofore pockets have held the honors, but now ruffles of silk, bands of braid, strips of fringe and pieces of fur are strong rivals of the pockets. But pockets still hang on and are twisting themselves into all sorts of shapes in order that they may be acceptable to fastidious women. "Splashy" designs embroidered in wool on heavy silk are also used with good effect to elaborate the skirts of afternoon and evening gowns. His Consolation. "There's one consolation about being in jail, mum." "What is it, my poor man?" "After I once go to bed nobody here makes me get up and go down to be sure that the back door's locked."—Dietrich Free Press. JUST HUMOR WASTED A LOT OF TOUCHING WASTED A LOT OF TOUCHING Perspiring, Stout Individual Discovers He Has Squandered Energy in Pushing Elevator Buttons. On the eighth floor of one of Salt Lake's office buildings a stout man raced perspiringly the circuit of the signal buttons of the four elevators. "Why touch them all?" asked a thin man. "Because I want to catch the first car down," answered the stout one determinedly, the while he mopped his brow and waited with a confident expression of having corralled the service. "But the touching of any of the four buttons signals the first elevator going down," protested the cadaverous man. "Is that not right?" he asked the elevator boy as they stepped aboard a car. The youth answered in the affirmative upon hearing an explanation of the question. "Well," said the stout party, "I've sure been wasting a lot of button touching."—Salt Lake Tribune. ALL BARE.

Private Blank was known to all his chums as "the early bird," probably because it was an exact description of the very opposite to what he really was, for "the early bird" was always late, the last man to get out of bed at reveille and the last man on parade, and when his regiment sailed for France his chums declared that he was the last into the transport ship and the last out of it. When his regiment was doing its spell in the trenches "the early bird" was sent for by his officer, and as he was creeping along the trench towards the dugout a stray bullet caught him in the shoulder, just as he was outside his officer's shelter. After seeing that he wasn't seriously wounded, the officer explained, with a twinkle in his eye. "If you had just been a second earlier you would have missed that." "I would, sir," returned Private Blank, "or if I had been a second later it would have missed me."—London Tit-Bits. New Type of Prodigal.
