```markdown ``` THIRTY FOURTH YEAR. NO.26. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS THIRTY FOURTH AFRO-AMERICA There is a new national problem with very direct local bearings. It is the migration of Negro laborers from the South to the eastern states, to New York and Pennsylvania, to Illinois and the middle West, with a full share to Chicago. The reason for this influx of the tide of Negro labor is the stoppage of immigration by the war and the exodus of many foreign-born residents back to their fatherlands at the call of the colors. Some of the Negroes are coming out of the South at their own prompting to better their conditions. Others, perhaps, many more, are coming because employers have their agents among the southern Negroes, offering them work and actually employing them. So many are leaving their southern homes and places of employment that in certain sections of the South there is arising not a little excitement and opposition. Employment agents from other sections are said to be warned away, or even threatened if they do not keep hands off the steadily-employed or surplus labor of the South. Hitherto it has been too generally the fact that the labor of Negroes has been more tolerated than welcomed. At any rate, very many Negroes have been unde to feel that this is the case with them, even where, as in the South, there were no other laborers to do their work. And more and more, rather than less and less, in the North and at the West coast welcome has been extended to them at best, and direct antagonism has threatened them at the worst. Increasingly this has been the attitude of white laborers, unorganized as well as organized. Almost all labor unions profess to make no discrimination against color, but very few of them admit Negroes as freely as whites to their membership. This antagonism is aggravated by the employers whose preference for Negro labor seems to be a discrimination against white labor or its standards of living and wages. Landlords also are reluctant to rent their houses and flats to Negro families, but not more so than the white population surrounding their property is opposed to having Negroes move into the neighborhood. Notwithstanding these disturbing conditions, Negro labor is being sought and is seeking to-meet the increasing demand and opening opportunity. But the situation thus being created in many localities is sure to become so dangerous as to demand immediate attention, investigation and provision for the future. Many are the dangers which are to be feared not only, but which already confront every community into which Negro laborers are coming more rapidly than special provision, for them is made. Housing conditions were among the dangers with which the increasing Negro population of New-York city confronted its public-spirited citizens of both races. Overcrowding and the mixing of better and worse elements in the insinant "old law" enements were found, on investigation, to be very bad. Yet the movement of the better class of Negro families to the better tenement houses in the Harlem district was found to be encouraging. Whole sections of that district were practically given over to the occupancy of this higher class of Negro tenants.—Chicago Daily News. What the southern Negro has won for himself, the Mexican peon in the copper mines of Arizona and the Southwest has won by similar pressure. He Texas has as good and even better public schools for Negroes than any other state, and I see no excuse for the very poor record being made in attendance. There may be a disposition on the part of some to attribute it to the economic condition of the Negro in Texas. But the Negroes in Texas have a superior advantage, economic advantage, over Negroes in other states. There is no other place where on the whole the soil is more fertile and will yield or respond more readily to a sympathetic touch. As a matter of fact, the Negroes in this state compare favorably from an economic standpoint with those in other states. Twenty-one thousand one hundred eighty-two farms are owned by Negroes in Texas, comprising an aggregate of 4,264,188 acres valued at $98,202,233. The Negroes of Texas rank third in number of farms owned; fourth in the valuation of these farms, more than half of the acreage being improved lands. This does not indicate that colored people of this state are economically so far behind those elsewhere and yet the proportional in Dr. E. P. Roberts, a Negro, was appointed a member of the board of education of New York by Mayor Mitchell, who also announced the appointment of 11 other persons to the board. Doctor Roberts is the first Negro to be appointed to the board since the organization of Greater New York in 1898. He formerly was a medical inspector in the schools. Toronto's new 14-story, $4,000,000 hotel, the Devonshire, is to be without a bar. THE GAZETTE has come into the field as a permanent factor, and an increasing one. When given a chance he has shown his willingness to organize with the Anglo-Saxon, and to take all the responsibilities and consequences of organization. Labor leaders claim that war between the United States and Mexico at the time of the Carrizal clash last summer was averted through the influence of Mexican and American trade unionists. They understand each other because of their industrial association. In the one hostil and redicent step taken here enthusiasts may see an augury of better relations between the 11,000,000 of American Negroes and 89,000,000 American whites. In the same session at which the labor delegates were offering this promise of peace at home the executive council presented a recommendation that new efforts be made to influence the conditions of future peace abroad. In a special report on international labor relations it told of the breaking down of the International Federation of Trade unions, through the secession of the British, French and Belgians. The American movement, in the opinion of the council, should persist in its effort to have a world congress of labor meet at the time and in the city where the peace congress of the nations shall assemble at the close of the war. It urges that only the influence of the organized workers of the nations, exerted upon, the diplomats at that time, can assure the world a peace founded upon justice. "We are keenly conscious that institutions and regulations alone are not sufficient," says the report. "Back of them must be an international mind and conscience educated to demand the democratization and humanization of our common affairs. The labor movements of all countries have contributed much to the will for peace and justice, and must do their part in the development of the agencies by which their will can be expressed." Tentative suggestions for a league to enforce peace by both military and economic power are put forth by the report. It holds that the fight against militarism must be made within each country by its own people. "The Negro farmers of northern Louisiana and Mississippi are so prosperous they are all buying automobiles," said Governor Blanchard of Louisiana. "Twenty-cent cotton, this found the farmers in that section with plenty of cotton. A great deal of it is this year's crop, and a lot is left over from last year. So when the price was right the Negroes, as well as the white cotton growers, suddenly found themselves in the most prosperous condition they had been in for years. As a result the automobile dealers of northern Louisiana and Mississippi cannot supply the demand. Bucharest, the capital of Roumania, has a population of 400,000 and is said to be the gayest city in the world. The Roumanians are a Latin race and Bucharest is a deliberate imitation of Paris. Roumanian infantrymen are unrivaled in the Balkans, and the Roumanian cavalry is as good as any in Europe. The Roumanian is a fine horseman and the cavalry spirit is born in him. One mile of a country road in Oregon is surfaced with borax. crease ownership within the last census decade has only been 5.2 per cent, which is comparatively a low rate of increase. If so, our patriotic duty as a citizen of this state and nation to see that we do not become a burden upon the state or nation—economically or educationally. We have done fairly well on the whole with respect to these things, but could do a great deal better as the record shows. The only way that we shall ever be able to change this condition of affairs is by a campaign of education on the part of rural teachers, especially among the parents, pointing out to them the folly of taking the child from school because perhaps, he can be of material value in terms of dollars and cents when as a matter of face his future is of infinitely more value provided he were allowed to spend his time in preparing himself. It is a great problem to be worked out—looting up larger of course in the rural districts for the reason that conditions are more favorable and yet not more favorable than in large manufacturing cities.—Communication to the Houston (Tex.) Post. An Illinois inventor, has patented hangers for barn or other doors that are suspended from tracks that can be adjusted to work properly when a door warps.

ANANIA'S CLUB CHURSES AND PRINCESS AT THE LEAK UNICE'S INGATION HITS FOES OF MILITIA WILSON TELLS DELEGATION THEY HURT PREPAREDNESS. Advocates of Military Training Attack Policy on Mexican Border—Rebuked by President. Washington, Jan. 27. — President Wilson, speaking on Thursday to a delegation from the Maryland League for National Defense, which attacked the National Guard and advocated universal military training, rebuked them for their "unres, naked language," and said they would have a better chance of his support if they were more reasonable in their attitude. The memorial, read to the president by Mr. Randolph Barton, spoke of the National Guard system as a "disgrace" and a "failure." It urged universal compulsory military training and service, and mentioned the mobilization of the National Guard along the Mexican border as an example of "the failure" of the system. President Wilson told the delegation that their attitude closed the opportunity for dissection of the question and was not helpful. MILLIONS FOR ARMY-NAVY House Passes $51,000,000 Fortification Measure as Step in $800,000,000 Defense Plan. Washington, Jan. 31.—The administration's $800,000 defense budget began to take final shape on Monday. The house passed the fortifications bill, carrying a total of more than $31,000,000 for coast defenses, and the house naval committee completed its 1918 naval appropriation bill with a total of more than $351,000,000. The army appropriation bill, the third element of the program, probably will be reported by the house military committee next week. Estimates for the army reach a total of more than $300,000,000 exclusive of numerous deficiency measures resulting from the border mobilization and the rising cost of war materials. The navy bill carries a total of $351,433,235, as against $318,000,000 last year. It provides for the construction of three 2,400-ton battleships at a total cost of $28,178,592 each, one tank cruiser at a cost of $6,404,690, three secrutis cruisers at $6,746,145 each, fifteen destroyers at $1,748,612 each, one destroyer tender at $2,808,000, one tanker tender at $2,190,400 and eighteen 800-ton type submarines at $1,484,933 each.

His Steady Rise to a Very Creditable and Responsible Position—What Intelligence, Honesty, Sobriety and Perseverance Will Do. The Gazette has always believed that one of the most encouraging things it can do for our ambitious young folk is to note in its columns, as often as possible, the success of members of the race like that of the person whose portrait heads this article. Honesty, sobriety, perseverance and close application to whatever he has had to do that was worth while, have been the most noteworthy elements in the career of Frank I. Perkins and undoubtedly have had most to do with a generous measure of success, thus far in life, he has every reason to feel proud of. Born on a farm in Michigan, he came to Cleveland in 1893 and secured employment at the Union club. In 1894 and 1895, he attended the preparatory school of Fisk university, Nashville, Tennessee. In 1896 and 1897, found him at attending the State Normal school at Frankfurt, Ky., and Caton's Business, college in this city. In 1898, he secured employment in one of Cleveland's largest shoe stores—the N. O., Stone Co.—remaining with them four years, and rising to the position of head stock, and often acting as a clerk on the floor of the store during its busy hours his last year with that firm. In 1902, he was employed as a messenger by the Caton Savings and Banking Co., going on to the Prudential Trust Co. on September 18, 1905, he was the kind of person with a measurer by the Caton Savings and Banking Co., one of the largest institutions of the country. Here politeness, close attention to his duties, faithfulness, long and good duty, have won for him a most important post which he has held for two years—in charge of the company's safety deposit vaults, among the best in the city. Perkins often the guardian of the company in charge of the death was placed in temporary charge of them. He is required to keep a record of every person who enters, his time of arrival and leaving, as well as of all valuables that are brought in and taken out, making a full account of the company. He attends to all of his duties in a proper and satisfactory manner, there is the best of assurance in his retention in the position. As is generally known it requires two people—the patron and the representative of the bank (Mr. Perkins), each key to open the can in all of his valuables like those in the Superior Savings and Trust Co., and when The Gazette informs its readers that many of the first people of Cleveland, the wealthiest, and the leading business men and firms are among the patrons of this great company, the importance of the position of Perkins can be fully appreciated. His success cannot but be an inspiration to our young folk upon all of whom we would impress the value of honesty, sobriety, faithfulness and perseverance in any position they may hold. "OPPOSES NEGRO EXODUS." The Tuskegee Conference, true to its policy, stultified itself by appealing to our people to remain south and not be lured north by reason of high wages. ROT! What the race needs is better wages. What the south gave the same wages as is given in the north, sensible men would feel that it would be the thing for our people to do—to go and get it where their lives and persons are respected and protected. If this conference had gone on record through the Associated Press, demanding that lynching, "jimcrowism," brutal treatment, indecent riding-coaches, gross insults to our women by white men, segregation and a train of other indigities, be discontinued, and in their stead the race be given the franchise and equal protection of the law, their pronunciamento of truckling and shameful betrayal of the best interests of the race would in a measure have been mitigated. It goes without saying, our people will ignore the paid servants of southern oppression. VARDAMAN. U. S. Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, has introduced a resolution in the senate asking the U. S. supreme court to pass upon the validity of the fifteenth amendment. In fact all the amendments of the U. S. constitution that enfranchise our people. Some may dismiss this enemy of the race with silence and contempt and think that will suffice. Let us not fool ourselves, for it has been the policy of southern demagogues to agitate till something happens. There is danger now in Washington, D. C. Mr. Wilson liberated certain criminals who were guilty of tampering with the fran- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS chise in Oklahoma. Who knows but what he would sign any bill that might come to him depriving our people of their right to American citizenship? Who knows but what he is behind this move of Vardaman? Does any one doubt his ability to carry through congress any matter he wants, especially since he is serving his second and last term in office? Vardaman must be fought, and that systematically. He might as well learn now as later that the amendments adopted to safeguard and protect the citizenship of the race, will not be destroyed without a bitter fight. He would have an accurate knowledge of our feelings he would simply understand that our men are as zealous for their rights as he is for his; that we will fight, as hard and as vigorously for our franchise as he will for his. We further warn him that his Mississippi to nullify the U.S. constitution, by depriving our men of their votes because they will not vote for men such as he, will not receive the sanction of the race—by requesting in having his educational practice go further. It is the smarting of a lacerated conscience that makes Vardaman seek to "repeat these amendments." He realizes that the conscience of political parties has been scared like his on this issue, and as long as it is left to politics he and his allies will suffer from the castigations of their morbid consciences. We are not only going to fight the disfranchisement of our people but we are going to appeal to the conscience of this country to enforce the constitution. When any state disfranchises its citizens that state must also lose proportionately in its representation in the lower house of Congress, says a mandatory clause of the U.S. constitution. Mr. Vardaman knows that his state has almost a half million voters and that of this number only eight thousand "voted" in the last presidential election— seventy-four thousand for Wilson and six thousand for Hughes. But these eight thousand voters have TEN congressmen in the lower house of Congress, whereas in the thirty-eighth district of New York it took forty thousand votes to elect ONE congressman. Mississippi is stealing its way in Congress. The wall of Mr. Vardaman is that some one should help him get rid of stolen goods. The repeal of these amendments will affect our voters everywhere. Prior to these amendments only white men could vote. If the amendments are unconstitutional, that statute is still in force. Negroes of New York and Ohio are as much concerned in the perpetuity of these amendments as those of Mississippi. For this right, bought by blood and hallowed by the deaths of the noblest of this land, our men will freely give their blood—to maintain and uphold. The constitution of this country is not safe in Democratic hands. Southern men of the Vardaman type would destroy it as quickly as they would a rabbit. This nation would better heed this warning now that it is unsafe to continue the welfare of the country in the hands of southern Democracy. Whenever the Democratic party wins, the south reigns. The liberties of white men of the country, outside of the south, are no more sacred than those of our people. Because the Democratic south hates the Republican party, and the north, and does not intend for the former to get a foot-hold in the south, is why it has disfranchised their voters who love the Republican party that gave it freedom and liberty. The punishment of our voters in the south is the Democratic method of punishing the Republican party and it is a pity that the Republican party has been so obsebut as not to see this a long time ago. Those amendments must remain, or better ones enacted in their stead. MISS ROBERTA B. JAMES Graduates With High Honors From Cleveland's Central High School —The Faculty's Choice for Commencement Speaker. Miss Roberta B. James, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert D. James, residing at 2236 E. 101st St, this city, was one of the six honor graduates of Central High school, Friday evening, Jan. 26. Her subject, "The Fundamental Value of History," was splendidly handled. She is seventeen years old and although one of the youngest, in a class of seventy-nine, was the third school speaker and the second Afro-American student in the history of the school to be so designated. There were only seven speakers. Mr. and Mrs. James, as well as all of our people of this community, are justly proud of the young Miss' success thus far in life. Miss James will enter normal school. VOLUNTARY STREET CARS STORMED BY MOB AT JUAREZ AND EIGHT AMERICANS SEIZED. Women Join Disturbers When U. S. Officials End All-Night Traffic Over, Bridge — Withdrawal of General Porching Announced El Paso, Tex., Jan. 30. — Rioters in Juarez stormed four street cars on Sunday and seized eight American street car men. They are being held prisoners by the Mexicans. The mob on the other side of the river has assumed such a mourning attitude that Curranzo soldiers are guarding the four international bridges and cavalrymen are patrolling the river front, opposite the American patrol. The demonstration of the rioters, which was at first derisively good-matured, changed suddenly just after noon, when four shots were fired at the Mexican end of the railroad bridge. After that the mob attacked the street cars. So far no American has been harmed, but the increasing violence of the disorderly element is causing unmeaniness. Among the rioters are many Mexican women. These joined in the attack on the street cars and then marched to the international bridge where they hold a demonstration against all Americans. The women joined the rioters because the United States health officers put an end to all-night traffic between Juarez and El Paso. Hundreds of excited Mexican men and women now line the banks of the Rio Grande opposite El Paso. A report was brought to El Paso by Americans returning from Jurez that one Mexican was shot and killed during the shooting there. Washington, Jan. 30.—Official announcement of the withdrawal of United States troops from Mexican soil was made by the war department, Newton P. Baker, secretary of war, issued the following statement, the first official announcement of Major General Pershing's recall: "General Pershing has been ordered to bring his troops out of Mexico. The movement is to be an immediate one and is probably already under way." The war department announced that the northern movement of General Pershing's men began early Sunday morning with the evacuation of Colonia Dublan. SENATORS HIT INAUGURAL "Plundering" of Public by Washington Hotels Also Is Denounced by Lawmakers. Washington, Jan. 29.—The senate on Friday voted favorably on the $25,000 appropriation to pay for the inauguration expenses at the capitol; but not until there had been some lively talk about how Washington hotel keepers "roll" visitors and some observations that the inaugural ceremonies have come to resemble a coronation pageant. When Senator Overman brought the resolution "from the appropriations committee Senator McCumber (Rep.) of North Dakota suggested that, it should include provisions to prevent hotel keepers from raising their rates. He said he had been informed by one hotel that a room for inauguration week would cost $200. "I'm not going to object to this resolution," said Senator Works (Rep.) of California, "but I should like to see one president inaugurated with appropriate ceremonies suitable in a democracy." BORAH SUBMITS RESOLUTION Calls on the Senate to Reaffirm Its Faith in the Monroe. Doctrine. Washington. Jan. 27.—Senator Borah of Idaho introduced a resolution on Thursday calling upon the separe "to reaffirm its faith" in the Monroe doctrine and a strict adherence to Washington's warnings against entangling foreign alliances. The resolution was read, and at Senator Borah's request, went over under the rules. There was no debate on the measure. The Borah resolution will bring the president's international peace league plan, as laid down in his Monday address to the senate, into direct issue and will have the effect of confining peace debates to that particular subject. The resolution is designed to eliminate haphazard peace discussion and divide senators for or against the extension of the Monroe doctrine to the entire world. Senator Borah asked that the resolution lie on the table. Capt. Jack Crawford Dying. Chicago. Jan. 31.—Capt. Jack Crawford, famous scout and former associate of "Buffalo Bill," is dying at his New York home. Captain Crawford was one of General Custer's scouts and added in the capture of Sitting Bull.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917. DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of beautiful birthday souvenir post-cards, letters, cards, congratulations galore, from friends in Cleveland and various parts of the country, all loyal readers of "the old reliable" Gazette. And not one of them asked how old (or young) we were on Sunday last. GOOD! Thank you friends—for the congratulations, good wishes, etc. President Wilson's phrase of "peace without victory" must take its place with "too proud to fight". If, in the civil war, there had been peace without victory, 'the curse of human slavery would still degrade America. The question of secession would not have been settled and the doctrine of states' rights would have been left in dispute. A peace without victory, and without the penalties of defeat, settles nothing and leaves the cause of future wars at hand. Now comes President Wilson and in his usual felicitous flow of well chosen words plans perpetual international peace! Those who have not read history, those who have not studied mankind, may accept rhetoric for accomplished facts and regard the matter as essentially settled. Others will insist upon the light of the lamps of experience being thrown on the proposition. They will seek to find at what time and in what way old human nature has been changed. The Gazette is indebted to Auditor of State A. V. Donahay for a copy of "Comparative Statistics, Cities of Ohio" for 1914—an answer to the inquiry "What Becomes of Ohio Taxes?" For the first time cities, counties and schools are included in the statement and according to an entirely new system. In place of complicated tables of "Receipts" and "Expenditures" the actual cost to the taxpayer has been figured in cities and counties. Taxpayers interested can secure a copy by writing the "Auditor of State," Columbus, O. Had we not better bear the ills we have than fly to others that we know not of? With a policy of peace and justice, with a courteous recognition of the rights and ideals of other countries, with a reasonable and sufficient preparation for the eventuality of war, this country is infinitely safe with no entanglements than with them. The founders of the republic were not without wisdom. Their theories of government have almost miraculously stood the test of time. That America is at peace today is because of them and only because of them. Had we not any entangling alliances we would be at war. Shall we throw the national chart and compass into the discard for a brilliantly illuminated piece of paper shaken in the wind—and only by the wind? President Wilson's peace paper turns America upside down. Washington's policy of "no entangling alliances" is to be changed for the most entangling alliance of all. The Monroe Doctrine is slain in the house of its birth, and Japan, Germany, England, and all the other monarchies of the world are to write the future history, foreign and international, of the Americas. The republic of the United States is to bind itself in a solemn treaty to send its army into the trenches of Europe and its navy against submarines, and hidden mines throughout the seas whenever a majority of the monarchical countries of the world give the order. Will other nations regard the treaty as sacredly as this country? Who can say when it would become a "scrap of paper" in the eyes of some nation or even some secret and powerful alliance of nations? PEACE. That Mr. Wilson desires to do something that will entitle him to a place among the wise and good of this land, is without doubt. The President is impracticable—a dreamer that wishes to have others take him seriously. His speech before the U. S. senate should not be considered. The ability of the President to do things that will bring peace to troubled peoples has been tested by Mexico. His failure there to do anything substantial should at least make him cautious in attempting to bring about peace in Old World af- fairs. His speech is intemperate in that it seeks to drag this nation into an alliance that will mean disaster. Peace treaties will not prevent wars if anything occurs that a self-respecting nation feels outrages its sense of right and imperils its national honor. To interfere with a war that we have nothing to do with is unwise and childish. Besides we are not in position as a nation, while Mr. Wilson is President, to enforce anything. Mr. Wilson is attempting to do in Europe what he did in Mexico, muddle things and add to its perils. Hands off Europe! A HUMILITATING SPECTACLE. The joint committees of the Methodist Episcopal Churches, North and South, failed to agree upon a plan of union because they could not agree upon a method of handling colored methodists. The reason for this failure is, southern white methodists refuse to sit on equality with colored people in ecclesiastical affairs. A southern white saint can't be at ease even in the church of God if a colored saint happens to be on the same floor and accorded the same religious fair play he, the southern white saint, desires. These white methodist Christians, we suppose are a part of the "best white citizens" of the South. It will now be in order for these people to dispatch some white southern saint to Heaven and request that there they refuse any equality with colored Christians and, if their position is not recognized, announce that they will make a Heaven (?) of their own. Such religion, as manifested by the bishops and clergymen of the Southern Methodist Church, is not the religion of Jesus, and is not the religion that saves men from sin, but it rather enlightens men in My white method of worship of the South. Christianity is dishonored by the stand and it is useless for you to speak to anybody about accepting the religion you preach as the religion Christ. (BREV) WM A. BRYD "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." An Effort Being Made to Revive it in Ohio—Representative Beatty's Bill—Mrs. Miller on the Film Special to The Gazett : Columbus, O.-Hon. A. Lee Beatty, the only Afro-American member of the Ohio General Assembly, has introduced a bill, which, if passed, will effectually bar "The Birth of the Nation" from Ohio, regardless of what action a new State Board of Censors would take. The bill of one introduced by Major R. R. Jackson in the Illinois Legislature, and passed by that legislature. A. LEE BEATTY, ESO. The Ohio Board of Censors is again to consider the infamous film, "The Birth of a Nation," it is announced, Concerning it, Mrs. Maud Murray Miller, a member of the board, says she personally has always been in favor of passing it, "Because," she holds, "the picture of American history and we have no more right to exclude it from pictures than we have to exclude it from the textbooks in the public schools." The date for the board to "sit in" on the miserable picture once more has not been set. Our people had better start their fight against the infamous photophagy, at least, before it became else) that it was in "the textbooks in the public schools"—not even in the south. LIMA/ RIOTER EXPECTING FREE DOM, SENTENCED. Lima, O., Jan. 29.—Common Pleas Judge William Klinger, who announced several days ago that he would suspend sentences against all who pleaded guilty to participation in the mob outbreak last August when an attempt was made to lynch the Afro-American, Charles Daniels, dropped a bomb in the ranks of the rioters and killed seven members, one of thirty-four men indicted in connection with the riot, appeared before court and pleaded guilty, but in place of a suspended sentence was given ten years in the penitentiary. Meyers almost collapsed and had to be supported to a chair. Judge Klinger stated that evidence showed Meyers to be a ringleader. California now has a rival in Oregon, which is growing prunes abundantly, and Virginia has a rival in Texas, where the farmers are enthusiastically growing peanuts. With plenty of peanuts and plenty of prunes the country can continue to look forward to both sustenance and joy. A man, one hundred and one years old, says the young people of today are living too fast. But when he goes on to say that his engines are working smoothly and his carburetor is in "prime condition," we suspect he's a rather swift proposition himself. Another thing. When the old bachelor waits until he is sixty before getting married, he will be very apt to spend the balance of his life wondering why people waste money buying dolls and toys for children. A new $50 counterfeit bill is said to be in circulation, but the most distant stars are hardly less visible to the naked eye of the average man than any sort of $50 bill, good or bad. THE GAZETTE; CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917. VETOES ALIEN BILL VETOES ALIEN BILL WILSON CALLS LITERACY TEST RADICAL CHANGE IN POLICY AND UNJUSTIFIED. PRESIDENT REGRETS ACTION Second Time Measure Has Been Killed by Wilson Because of the Literacy Test—Sends Message to the House. Washington, Jan. 31. — President Wilson vetoed the immigration bill passed recently by congress because of its literacy test provision. It was the second time that President Wilson had vetoed an immigration bill because of the literacy test, and for the same reasons similar measures were given vetoes by Presidents Taft and Cleveland. The president's veto message to the house, in which the bill originated, follows: "I very much regret to return this bill without my signature. "In most of the provisions of the bill I should be very glad to concur, but I cannot rid myself of the con- viction that the literacy test constitutes a radical change in the policy of the nation which is not justified in principle. "It is not a test of character, of quality or of personal fitness, but would operate in most cases merely as a penalty for lack of opportunity in the country whence the alien seeking admission came. The opportunity to gain an education is in many cases one of the chief opportunities sought by the immigrants in coming to the United States, and our experience in the past has not been that the illiterate immigrant is as such an undesirable immigrant. Tests of quality and of purpose cannot be objected to on principle, but tests of opportunity surely may be. "Moreover, even if this test might be equitably insisted on, one of the exceptions proposed to its application involves if provision which might lead to very delicate and hazardous diplomatic situations. "The bill exempts from the operation of the literacy test 'all aliens who shall prove to the satisfaction of the proper immigration officer or to the secretary of labor that they are seeking admission to the United States to avoid religious persecution in the country of their last permanent residence, whether such persecution be evidenced by overt acts or by laws or governmental regulations that discriminate against the alien or the race to which he belongs because of his religious faith.' "Such a provision, so applied and administered, would oblige the officer concerned in effect to pass judgment upon the laws and practices of a foreign government and declare that they did or did not constitute religious persecution. "I dare say that these consequences were not in the minds of the proponents of this provision, but the provision separately and in itself renders it unwise for me to give my assent to this legislation in its present form." RUSSIANS WIN IN ROUMANIA Czar's Men Take the Offensive Against Austro-German Troops—Gain on Two-Mile Front. Petrograd, Jan. 30.—Russian forces, after artillery preparation, assumed the offensive against the Austro-German fortified positions on both sides of the Kampulping-Jacobeben road, near the northwestern frontier of Moldavia, and after stubborn fighting broke though the Teutonic lines along a front of nearly two miles, says the official statement issued on Sunday by the Russian war department. Prisoners and loot were taken by the Russians, the extent of which has not yet been ascertained. Southwest of Riga three successive German attacks were repulsed by the Russians. TRANSPORT SUNK BY DIVER Berlin Says Craft Was "Crammed" With Soldiers and Remained Affloat Ten Minutes.

The following announcement was issued: "A German submarine on January 25, about 250 miles east of Malta, sank with a torpedo an armed hostile transport steamer, proceeding east- ward, convoyed by a French torpedo boat. The steamer, which was crammed with troops, sank within ten minutes."

The Chicago Defender is the largest and most unreliable race paper in the country. It is the race's leading yellow journal and it is always quoted at a risk—Louisville (Ky.) News. Attorney Elijah J. Graham, Jr., of Wheeling, on Jan. 2, 1917, became law librarian for Ohio county, West Virginia. Never in the history of that county has any Afro-American been so much as considered for appointment to this position. Chicago Afro-Americans at a mass meeting. Tuesday evening, decided to contribute to a fund to help "Mammy" Jackson carry her fight to retain custody of Marjorie Delbridge, 14-year-old white girl, to the U. S. supreme court, if necessary. The child, entrusted to Jackson on one death of her parents, was been kidnapped, where she was placed, to prevent the officers from separating her and Mrs. Jackson, who "cannot be found," either. The General Education Board (John D. Rockefeller (jnd) has announced the following amounts for our schools: Elsie university, Tennessee, $50,000; Spelman seminary, Atlanta, $85,000; and sums ranging from $2,000 to $7,500 are given to small institutions in southern states, together with $40,000 to be devoted to our instruction in rural districts in the south, $197,500 in all. $10,000 was also given toward a memorial building to be erected this year at Hampton institute, Hampton, Va. HELPING BOYS TO BE BOYS. How many of the men who are taking such a deep interest in the boys of today recall with clear vision their own boyhood? It is necessary to do this, or their efforts are likely to be misdirected. The normal boy is not only possessed of the germ of tremendous possibilities, as the potential man of the future, but he is also a compound of contradictions, a storehouse of energy, and his untutored mind is bent to experimentation as sparks fly upward. He must have an outlet, and if this is denied him one way, he will find it in another, says Omaha Bee. And this is why such a movement as the Boy Scouts is of service. Here an effort has been made to unite in a practical way the training that is useful with the opportunity for reasonable display of animal spirits; tendencies that might become destructive are turned to service, and the boy is helped to be a boy while being taught things good for him to know when he comes to manhood. His mind and his body are brought into co-ordinated activity, he finds latent faculties awakened and dormant powers brought to life and development. Discipline of word and act trains him to control of thought and impulse, and without hindrance of natural desires he is shown how fun may be had in ways that harm none and may help many. The government "bird census" of 1914 indicated an average of six pairs of robins and five pairs of English sparrows on each farm tract of the standard size (108 acres) used in the enumeration. The accuracy of these figures was widely questioned by people who felt sure that the English sparrow was by far the commonest bird in the northernern United States. However, the recently published results of the 1915 census also indicate the greater abundance of robins, in the proportion of eight pairs to six, says Scientific American. A recent estimate by F. L. Burns based on his sectional census made in 1914 at Berwyn, Pa., places the total population of English sparrows in the United States east of the Mississippi river at 165,000,000 individuals. Now that the government has built a railroad in Alaska there bids fair to be an accumulation of experience at public expense. Stories of the attempt to operate trans in the coastal region beyond the genial influence of the Japanese current are interesting and may not be greatly exaggerated. It is declared that icicles big enough to stall a train froze on the tracks. The carwheels froze to the rails while the icicles were being cut, and had to be thawed with heavy jets of steam. The steam jets froze as the wheels were freed, and then the telegraph wires refused to work. Perhaps there will have to be a closed season on railroads in Alaska except near the coast.

Editor Measuring the Mist, New and Unusual Job Recently Undertaken by Uncle Sam Measuring the Mist, New and Unusual Job Recently Undertaken by Uncle Sam Unique in its character is the work carried on by Uncle Sam's weather bureau, at Point Fermin, in the Los Angeles harbor district, and on Mt. Wilson, in the matter of fog observations. To the casual reader the investigation of southern California fogs does not seem to entail much that is of practical benefit, yet the daily reports on these observations are of especial value to the aviators at the North island aviation field to the "numerous motion picture companies operating in southern California, and to other industries that depend especially upon sunlight. It is possible that eventually these fog observations will also be of much value to agricultural interests. Measuring the height of the fog is of great importance to aviators, and has been found especially useful at the government field at North island. With the observations taken on Mt. Wilson, and those made at Point Fermin, it is possible to accurately gauge the thickness of the fog clouds, and in 80 per cent of the instances calculation can be made almost accurately as to the time when the fog will lift at any given spot. In the other instances, it is possible to determine this within an hour's time. Col. William A. Glassford, at the North island aviation field, has been making practical use of these daily reports for almost a year. Motion picture companies have found them of most practical benefit, as they are able to determine on foggy mornings just when they can count on the sun breaking through the drifts of grayness. There are other practical phases of this fog-measuring work that may eventually come into beneficial use for the farmer. It will be possible to determine accurately just what amount of moisture may be expected on lands of any particular elevation through fog condensations. This has been done, in some cases, and the forecasted results have been proved accurate. ABusyLife The Most Important Autobiography In Years Mr Foraker has given us his experience in the Union Army on the Bench, as Governor of Ohio and in the Senate of the United States.

The work will prove of special interest to all students of political history whether they are public officials or only public spirited Americans, interested in the preservation of our institutions. 2 VOLS.

Our readers will remember that Gazette should not believe that the judge did hear him because he would promptly rebuked the patrolman he heard him. The Taylor & Son Co., discharged its six male Afro-American employees, several weeks ago, and has been gradually letting out its eight female Afro-American-employees, so one of the discharged employees informs The Gazette.

OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD Says He Did Not Vote for President Wilson and Charles E. Hughes, Whose Candidacy He Charac- New York city, Jan. 26, 1917. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir!—Some one has sent me the remarkable article in a recent issue of your paper written by the Rev. William A. Byrd in regard to myself. How interesting life would be if our clergymen were compelled to confine themselves to the facts and conceive it to be the truth by writing it forth before writing upon a subject! As it happens, I never voted for Mr. Wilson in the last election, nor did I support him, and I am sorry to have to tell Mr. Byrd that the N. A. A. C. P has refused to accept my resignation as treasurer. I have been resigning that position every year for several years past but no one will take pity upon me and accept my resignation. It is needless to add that I did not vote for so weak and cowardly a candidate and could not answer either a letter from me or several official communications from the N. A. A. C. P and define his position on the Negroes at the very moment when he was seeking their votes. Though I did not vote for Mr. Wilson, I honestly believe that his election has been one of the best things that ever happened to the United States and I say this despite the fact that I have criticized and denounced him for his treatment of the colored men and their needs. But in view of what Mr Wilson is doing for world peace, I believe that he is unconsciously serving the interests of the darker races the world over in very great degree.

This is just what the ur- [a | tist thought when she designed this unusually striking coatdress for the girl In her early, teens, It is Russian in character, with just enough of a difference tn cut of yoke fand belt to serve as a rellef from the straight belted model. Any of the soft fabries now so much In vogue, velour, duvetyne, bolivia cloth, broadcloth, corduroy or velvet, would make this coat a very charming affair. ‘The full- ness at the walstline ts Iald in tiny plaits instead of being shirred Into the belt. Pockets are cut In the belt. The idea of using dangling tassels Jnstead of buttons through the large bound buttonholes is a very clever.and ecoming notion. Snaps will be need- ed to keep the coat-dress fastened. ‘The full collar and cuffs are perma- nently attached, ‘The collar may be cut longer to protect the throat in front. Blouses Sent From France. In spite of the war and tn spite of the fact that French women are prac- tically, carrying on the Industry and agriculture of their country at the present thme, many of the shops are showing perfectly delightful French handmade blouses at a price that seems, compared to the advanced price of most everything else we wear or eat, very reasonable, Emagine a waist made of substantial, though sheer, cotton batiste with fine- Iy hemstitehed satior collar and cuffs and fine handsuserved cording at the seams, for $2! Yet that was the price uisked for such a blouse a week or so tigo. The sleeves were long and well shaped and cuffs were tight—a char- acteristic almost never seen in watsts us cheap as that. The buttonholes were made by hand and there were numerous other little hand touches and—bless the econdmleal French sis- ‘ter that made the waist—a neat little Square of the butlste folded and tck- ed to the Inside of the waist for fu- ture mending. Why. we Americans would never think of mending a two- dollar waist. For higher prices other exquisite French waists could be bought, tn- eluding many made of French volle and many made of a soft, dull shade of pink and an equally soft shade of blue. ‘There was @ profusion of tucks ‘on the higher priced of these waists, and one that showed a low neck line that spread quite wide at the shoul- ders was finished at the top with a quaint Uttle upstanding ruftle.—New aah tea. Grapes and Roses. What 1s the connection between geapes and roses? In a review of millinery show lately opened In New York mauy hats were trimmed with clusters of grapes, and without excep- ton there were always roses some- where tucked under the crown or ‘against the hair, A gold tissue satlor was wreatlied in grapes, caught at one side by a crimson rose. Veiled the Bride’s Table. Quite a novel idea was carried out at a recent bridal supper in velling the bride’x table, relates American Gookery. ‘The table occupied the cen: ter of the room and was surrounded by small tables for the guests. four at each. Directly over the bridal table was an inverted white satin umbrelia of large size having a drooping fringe ef artificial orange blossoms. From the edge of the umbrella there dropped a white chiffon vell edged with a white, wide, satin border which concealed the table, falling nearly to the hem of the tablecloth. ‘As the bridal party of 12 approached and surrounded the table the deft pull: ing of @ satin cord caused the veil to rise clowly and form itself into a big potty pompoa affair above the um- brella; the effect was very unusual and very pretty. The lifted vell showed an tnususlly elaborate table, The centerpiece was & hinge white satin Mipper filled with orange blossoms sanding (a the center of an lmense wedding ting of yellow roses, The wedding’ cake was in beart-shaped Trend to Chinese Effects. The tendency of Chraese effects which appeared early in the season, in the special form of evening wraps and opera coats, is now noticeatite tt accessories of daytime wear. For ex ample, two interesting Chinese hand: Dags have been observed recently. ‘One was in the shape of an immense bean, made of painted silk—a pure Chinese concelt, The other, au in- senious conventionalized reprewent ‘tion of things Chinese, was a_ lone tubular bag with four or tive flaring ruflles giving the well-known pagod effect. The bag was embroidered with colored silk and small bends. Bits of Chinese embroidery are seen as trimming on hats, coats and even muffs. Green Jade bracelets ure at tached to many muffs, as a means o securing them to the wrist, anc carved ivory figures in handles, bat pins and other small uecessories. Indian Shawls Worn. Indian cashmere shawls are in great demand this winter. They are border- ed with narrow bands of fur and clev- erly draped into evening cloaks, Some- times they are cut up and fashioned into waistcoats for tallormades or panels on black or blue satin frocks. When these beautiful shawls are nr ranged In evening cloak fashion the fringes are brought Into prominence, Some of the Paris dressmakers nre introducing large motifs eut from the Indian cashmere shawls on gowns made of course black net and with ex- cellent effect. ‘The motifs are outlined and sometimes worked over with very fine metallié threads.

Parts.—Sashes, sashes and again sashes. Until a year ago there were only long belts, hanging or crossed. 11 August they came to vs glorified be cause they were enlarged and lined “with a different color to call attention to the important place they occupied In the decoration scheme. Up to the last month, these belt-sashes were tied in big loops net the side and dropped “softly to the hem of the short skirt Now the loops have disappeared, and the sash, coming from some part of the waist, 18 simply crossed and falls to the very edge of the skirt, producing Jong, severe line. . The sash that will adorn spring skirts will be about a third of a yard wide and will be | Tined with ttself, unless the owner has a black nd white costume, when the sash will show white underneath. Speaking of black and white, the “combination, was brought out by two “big houses in August. Other places “ealled the idea “old,” “demode,” and “did not advise their clients to order anything Jn it. During the tnst month “the very best gowns I've seen ut the opera, theuter or afternoon teas have "been ‘the one of black satin or velvet “with touches of white; and they have “been so much admired and have been | such a success that It 1s not surprising “that nearly every smart frock being or dered today follows the black-and- | white craze, gelcginlianine teh tie. am the sping It is sure tobe re peated, for by the ‘side of the binck and white, colors appear garish. —{¢ anything shares equal popularity with this combination, it is gray, which 1s used In different shades. ‘The gray ts apt to be built on white, efther tn corsage or skirt, and with the many foldings, the shades vary from peurl to Iron, A¥ all the layers are. of mousseline or tulle Mlusion, the en- semble 1s delleately soft and seduc- uve.

New Dye a Success. Dyes ure difticult to obtain in Paris, Just as other things ‘are, and while black may not be easier than any other dye, with such great experimentation going on In ft, {t is probable that the dye used now ts purely French, and if #0, then it is a great success. Cloth, tricotine, serge and gabar- dine will make tallored sults and or- nate frocks for spring, with thousands High, Transparent Collars Again. ‘There has been desultory warning that the high collar and long plaited Jabot of the Empire period are coming into vogue again, but last fall the same note was sounded and still women re- fused to give up the comfort of the open neck, so {t was a surprise to see so many high cut blouses und shirts a8 appeared In the rvcent importa- tlons, Nearly all the velvet and velour suits were worm with blouses of dell- cate lace or chiffon which had high boned collars, Muny of these blouses also showed plaited jubots, sometimes plain and sometimes edged with real | laens. The Veil Question. Precedent has been upset in the vell question, and borders that used to hang down are now worn around the hat’s crown or brim to form part of the trimming, while the narrow tn- tshed edge has become the border. ‘These ultra fashionable vells are of heavy quality net n course mesh, em- broldered in worsted, While the vells are blacks, browns, blues or plums, |of yards of satin, to be sure. Satin never enjoyed such popularity In Paris as during the last year, and It ts decidedly not on the wane. Some gowns and long spring coy: put satin only in part of the construction—in the upper or lower portion, with any of the other materials added. Satin enhances the value and beauty of any fabric it touches. It 1s fright fully espensive here, but women will have aothing else, for they know that a gown of it is worth six of another material, so there's method in thelr madness. Again Greek Drapery. ‘The evening frocks showing the tunle ‘that suggests the Greek draping are very classteal. Some of the new ones are In Nattler blue, with the entire front embroidered tn a shadow-work stiteh In dull gold.

Thave seen new evening gowns almost “entirely composed of gold Ince, one ter ‘on another, and the pleture was en- chanting. All the decoration that some lof the afternoon and evening gowns have 1s this embroidery across the frout and back, forming a veritable medieval ‘armor, New things that are admired ‘employ the gold in the same manner, ‘aud we are sure to see the Idea repro- |duced for spring and summer, Satin for Coat Suits. | ‘The designers here are bringing out a heavy weave of satin for the first spring suits, as a substitute for serge. ‘There ts @ strong tendency to omit a blouse and arrange the coat so that it can be kept on. A few of these new coats are buttoned down the back from neck to hem, which removes any possibility of their being taken off In 4 publie place. z It appears that the prevailing creed in fashion Is that a woman must not think of going in her shirt sleeves any more than a man would think of doing it; she wears a wash blouse beneath the jacket for pusposes of cleanliness, but not publicity. So far-reaching 1s this ereed that the medieval tunic which extends only to the hip tne and is fastened ‘to the-shoulder or slips over the head, 1s worn with a cloth skirt ‘over a blouse, even in the house, Probably the best thing to remem- ber in buying clothes now ts that the figure must be straightened out in the medieval manner, from bust to hips, You can choose your own way of doing it, whether by a deep girdle, by the straight lines of the fabrie or by a belt of suede or leather that conceals any inward curve beneath the arms to- ward the waist. ‘There 18 no evidence that embrotd- ery in bullion and silkethread will go out of fashion this spring, but the ornate French designs taken from stained-glass windows of the fifteenth century have glyen way to the more primitive designs that one sees on the pottery of Indians. ‘The fashion for the cashmere and |Paisley shawls that came out In Oc- tober will again find expression this spring {n figures printed on flat sur- faces, and also the reproduction of the Paisley pear, which 1s an old In- dian design, in’ embroidery done in colored and bullion thrends.
