GEORGE A. MYERS MEETS WITH A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. It was painful news to the people of Washington, and all over the country as to that matter, to learn of the serious accident which happened to Mr. George A. Myers, the well known business man and political leader of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Myers met with a most serious and deplorable accident last week, by which he suffered the breaking of both legs, one in two places between the knee and the ankle, and the other at the ankle, besides otherwise bruising himself. He fell down an elevator shaft, at the residence of Mr. Southworth, on Euclid avenue, from the second floor to the basement. He was at once removed to Huron Hospital, where he now is, and where everything that science and the ministration of friends can do to alleviate his sufferings, which are intense. He is doing as well as might be expected, considering the gravity of his injuries. Mr. Myers is best known through his intimate association with the late Senator Marcus A. Hanna, the great political general, who controlled the political fortunes of the late President, William McKinley, and who at his death was chairman of the Nation- [Name] MR. GEORGE A. MYERS, Cleveland, Ohio. al Republican Committee. Senator Hanna and Mr. Myers were warm personal friends years before Mr. Hanna entered politics, and their friendship continued through the great campaigns, of which Mr. Hanna was the recognized head. Mr. Myers was with Mr. Hanna at his first great political battles, in Ohio and St. Louis, where Mr. McKinley received his first nomination for President. During the life of Mr. Hanna, Mr. Myers continued to be his personal friend and confidant, and many of the political leaders of the race know of the intimte relations that existed between the two men. Mr. Myers is one of the many successful business men of Cleveland, and through his tact, integrity, and executive ability, has accumulated a comfortable fortune. He is a native of Baltimore, Md., but started for the great West when still a young man, locating in Cleveland, Ohio, where he has lived ever since. The latest report from his sick room is that he is on the road to recovery, although there is a possibility of losing one of his limbs. THE COLORED AMERICAN Mr. Myers has a national, in fact, an almost international reputation, and the race everywhere extend sympathy to him and to his family. A TYPICAL AMERICAN. Theodore Roosevelt the Highest Type of American Manhood—Sound to the Core on all Questions of Government. The pleasant and important task imposed on me is, to state, in a few words, why President Roosevelt, should be supported by the colored men to succeed himself, in November. First: Because, as the most prominent Republican in the United States, if elected President he would govern the Republic in accordance with Republican principles, as expressed in its platform and in the Laws of the Land. Most prominent among those principles are: a—Personal Liberty, for all. b—Protection to American Industries. c—The Gold Standard and Honest Money. d—Protection and development of our acquired territory, and the acquisition of New Markets for our surplus products and manufactures. As to the first: Wherever the Republican Party is in power, life is, generally, secure; and breaches of the law for the protection of life, are vindicated—punished. The American Negro exercises the privilege of casting his ballot and having it counted for the candidate of his choice, nowhere, in the United States, save where a robust Republican sentiment and active partisanship is found. Wherever the Democratic Party dominates and sways popular sentiment, in the absence of an active Republican minority, the Negro is substantially disfranchised and the Fifteenth Amendment is denounced. Peonage, which is another name for the enslavement of the Negro, is found in the "Solid" Democratic South; and its upholders are prosecuted only by our Republican Administration. Lynching can not, in the absence from the spot, of Government troops, be prevented by the President; because he does not know where the next lynching will take place; and the victim is lynched before orders could be given and troops put on the train, even if he has ample authority. As to the second. Our Protective Tariff, which is a Republican measure by increasing the volumes of business and the circulation of money, and travel, not only aids the manufacturer and those working in factories, but by increasing travel and money, it aids the barber in his shop—the porter on the Pullman car, the cook, the waiter and boot black in their respective places of business. Even the mechanic and laborer on buildings is aided; for, "prosperity," under protection, increases the number of buildings, and makes work and good wages for all. As to the third: The single gold standard guarantees the laborer as well as the capitalists gold or money as good as gold, worth a hundred cents on every dollar, for his labor; and in many other ways, aids us all which I can not state in a hundred words. As to the fourth: We produce and manufacture much more rapidly than we can consume at home; and if our farmers and manufacturers are to have markets for their surplus, and the furnaces, mills, and factories are to be kept in operation, then we must have new markets in which to sell them. In the Philipines, we have some ten millions to help us; and they being at the door of the East, open to us other doors to hundreds of millions of purchasers. As to the President: He is manly, just, aggressive, resourseful and humane—the true and tried friend of the "under dog," whether white or black. Therefore, for the good of the Republic, every colored American should vote for him. JOHN P. GREEN, U. S. Stamp Agent. Cleveland, O. FINE TAILORING.

The political situation of the coun- try grows brighter every day. Bett- ing money is being freely offered by the betting people, 10 to 1 on Roose- velt and it finds no takers. This is one of the surest signs indicating who is in the lead. A stroll up Broadway, N. Y., will convince one where the business element of the Metropolis is —the Roosevelt banners outnumber the others 20 to 1. Heretofore bust- ness men have been averse to showing which side they were on, but in this eampaign they are hanging out ban- ners. Good reports are coming in from all the doubtful states. A strong indication that the Democ-. facy is being hard pushed lies in the fact that a man of Senator Gorman’s standing is getting down to the low level of using Booker Washington- Roosevelt dinner episode in his speeches in Maryland. It is well known that the “Negro issue” is the last resort of the Democratic party. ‘When all other weapons fai! they re- sort ‘to abuse of Negroes and try to arrey the illiterate white voters aguinst the Negroes by the holding up THE COLORED AMERICAN. to them the bugbear of social equali- ty—a thing that Negroes care nothing ‘for, and. something that all ‘sensible white men know has never existed and never will exist as long as people are free to choose -their own associ- ates in social affairs. The Democratic managers, started out by claiming everything; they seem now to have drawn in their horns and are makihg no claims, but “engineer- ing a still bunt” waiting for some thing to turn up that they can take advantage of. It was reaily amusing to hear them-squeal when Governor Odell, of New York, commenced to ‘challenge that array of Tammany Hail, composed of dead men and “re- peaters.” What a fuss they made? When they found that their trick of ‘voting dead men was frustrated! “No thief ever put the halter draw with good opinion of the law,” and good men are not found “kicking” when the law is being enforced. . The fact is our Democratic friends have been blocked at their game. They are defeated at every point. The Republican managers are too smart for them and are not sleeping on the battle field. A great victory for the party is in sight and is due to come ou about November the 8th. Get your torch-lights ready for the pa- rade. Some of the Southern newspapers are trying to prejudice their readers against the Republican party by mak- ing capital of the suggestion of Con- gressman Crumpaeker, that an extra session of Congress should be called to cut down Southern representatives because of the disfranchisement of Negro voters. Certainly! Who is surprised? And if Congress should get together for this purpose before the election there would be a great many “left at homes” who anticipate holding down a five thousand dollar job in Washington, for the next two years on the basis of Negro citizenship in their districts, which they have disfranchised. By a vote of the House of Deputies of the General Association of the Episcopal church in_session in Boston, Mass., episcopal ministers will still be allowed to marry parties who have been divorced. “Light Ahead for the Negro” is a new book just out by Prof. E. A. John- son, the well-known author. It bears the imprint of the Grafton Press, N. Y., and is a work of fiction, romance ana history. It completely refutes the ideas of Thos. Dixon in “Leopard Spots,’ and those who claim that it is necessary to use shot guns in settling the Negro problem. It is a work of high literary merit and is listed in the Book Dealers Magazine among the recent publications of note. The Reformed Presbyterian Synod, in session at Clinton, S. C., refused to unite with the Northern church by a vote of 34 to 8, the chief objection be- ing that the Northern branch of the Presbyterian church s4mits Negroes to membership. While drawing the line on admission to membership the Southern church nevertheless holds that it is its duty to assist financtaily the colored members in sepa2rate or- ganizations. = THE “JIM CROW” CAR MUDDLE. The cther day a very bright colored man and a white man were traveling together on one of the “Jim Crow” railroad lines. When they reached the Maryland line the conductor ordered the white man into the “Jim Crow Car” and left the colored man in the “White” car. These mistakes are con- stantly oecurring and shows what a muddle the “Jim Crow” system is, anyhow. If this keeps on, it will be neces- sary after a while, not only to put “White” and “Colored” signs on the cars, but also to put a sign on each passenger. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hill are assert- ing on the stump that the Republican Party does not appoint Negroes to of- fice in the North, but only in the South. We can see how Mr. Bryan might do so, but how could Mr. Hill overlook Mr. Charles W. Anderson, of New York City, Supervisor of Races, and Mr. J. E, Bruce, in the Surveyor of Ports Office. Bah! Bah!! Bah!!! The Republican party recognizes the Colored element of the party North and South, and lays down the rule of appointing good men to offite without first asking whether he is black or white, as the Bourbon Democracy does. Some of our leading colored divines hold that separate organizations are best for the colored ministers in that they afford a better field of develop- ment; whereas in the white organiza- tions colored men would havé to take back seats and be generally over awed. The late Bishop Haven held this view and for that reason favored separate organizations in the M. E. Church. STRIKING AT THE WRONG WO- MAN. Much excitement was created among the soldiers of the Forty-Second Coast Artillery over the announcement that John T. Smith, a member of the hos- pital corps, had married a _ colored woman—his nurse who had cared for him during a long spell of yellow fev- er, and “Hospital Sergeant Sparrow- berg called for his discharge. . This statement in the daily papers shows a most contemptible state of race pre- judice existing in some sections of this country. White men may live in adultery with Negro women and noth- ing is said, but here is a marriage and the soldier is discharged. Who ever heard of a white soldier being dis- charged for living with a Negro con- cubine? Why not draw the line on concubines and let legal marriages alone, especially where the woman is of good character, as the woman was in this case. HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM. The Associated Press dispatches in announcing the death of the venerable Bishop I. C. Clinton, of Charleston, S. C., recently, called attention to the fact that the leading white people of Charleston suspeided business and at- tended his fureval in large numbers. From another part of the country comes the news of a serious accident to Mr. George A. Myers, of Cleveland, Ohio, and the further announcement that among the visitors to his sick bed were Messrs. Rockerfeller and Southworth, two millionaires of that city. The last named left word thot Mr. Myers have every possible atten. tion, and that all bills be sent to him. Moral—The best white people of the country are beginning to know that there are,-different classes of colored people just as there are of white peo- ple, and are treating them according. ly. ‘ THE DEMOCRACY RESPONSIBLE For the Evils Complained of in the St. Louis Platform, so Far as the Race Question is Concerned. Dr. C. H. Payne was born at Red Sulphur Springs, Monroe County, Va. now West Virginia, Sept 1, 1848, where he lived with his mother until the war of the rebellion, his father having died when be was about two years old. He received his educational training frem private instructors and at the Richmond Institute, Richmond Va, from which institution he jraduated with honors. Mr. Payne taught pub- lie school in West Virginia for a num- bersof years, beginning in 1868. He entered politics actively in 1870 and has taken part in every State and Na- tional campaign since that year, some years delivering more than a hundred addresses during one campaign. He has spoken in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Missouri; he has four times represented Congressional dis- tricts in National Republican conven- tions—three times as alternate and once as a delegate. He served the Government as deputy collector of In- ternal Revenue, at Charleston, W. V2., during the administration of President Harrison; was.elected to the legisla- ture of West Virginia in 1896 by the Republicans of Fayette Co., receiving about 2,000 votes of white citizens and the entire vote of his own people. In May, 1903, Mr. Payne was appointed, by President Roosevelt, Consul of the United States for the Danish West Indies, which position he is now fill- ing to the satisfaction of the Govern- ment and to the. credit of his country, his race and himself. Word has-been received from Cleve- land, Ohio, of a serious accident which happened to Mr. George A. Myers, a well known leader and business man of that city. He suffered a break of both legs, one in two places, between the knee and the ankle, and the other at the ankle, besides bruising and oth- erwise injuring himself. He fell down the elevator shoft at the residence of Mr. Southworth, on Euclid avenue, from the second floor to the basement. He is doing as well as could be ex pected under the circumstances. This has been gala week for the Shriners in this city. More than five hundred delegates from different parts of the country were in attendance. Those from Richmond, Va., came in ® special car. Mr. E.

Its mode of operation is easy upon the h -eby eliminating the pincher method, which almost pulls the hair out fron ots. The comb separates the strands leaving a beautiful and natural appea . A-heavy head of hair can be straightened in less than thirty minutes. Its use a few minutes daily follow- ing instructions will straighten the hair where hours of combing will not.

The time is past when the only ca- reers in life open to a Negro were to pick cotton, make up berths in a Pull- man Sleeping car, or wait on table. The study of the Negro population by the Census Bureau discloses some facts that show very clearly that the colored race is steadily developing a complete social and industrial system of its own.. There is hardly any branch of industry in which Negroes are not represented, and that st te- ment includes the women as W as the men. 7 | One of the most serious difficulties which the colored person has to con- tend with is prejudice against the dark color of their skin. Recent sci- entific discoveries have made it pos- sible for the Negro to rid himself of this inconvenience. The discovery of Black-No-More has done much to aid the Negro in his upward progress. ‘sue More intelligent Negroes will lose no time in taking advantage of this opportunity to convert their dark skin into white. Indeed from the reports that are coming in from all parts 01 the country it looks as if the colore¢ face will scon be 2, thing of the past Comfortable Homes for Thrifty Colored People.

The politicians of the race are seeking honors in the political field, quite a number of them being aspirants for Congressional honors. In Indiana we have George L. Knox, the barber editor, who runs a lily white shop where only Negroes and dogs are not allowed; running for Congress against Honorable Jesse Overstreet. Secretary of the Republican Congressional Committee. Mr. Knox is without the support of his race, and is said to be backed up by Democratic money, but will not poll two per cent. of the colored vote of the district. Lawyer H. M. Porter is a candidate for Congress from the 10th District of Georgia, against Congressman Hardwick, the dude Congressman, who is said to be better known in Washington south of the ayenue than in the halls of the lower house. Rev. L. R. Dudley is making a race in the 22nd district of Illinois, nothing of importance is known of his antecedents. Hon. Ike B. Allen, who received some notoriety a few years ago as being a member of the Governor's staff of the Bay State, and who is a perrenial candidate for office is running for Congress in one of the Boston districts. Editor C. P. T. White of the Rock Hill Messenger is making a strong fight from the Fifth Congressional District of South Carolina. Mr. White is a full blooded Negro and a young, intelligent and progressive leader who will wake up the natives in his District. He is backed by the Republicans of his district, and will be heard from after theides of November. The strongest member of the race making a fight for Congress is Rev. C. C. Jacobs, of the 7th Congressional District of South Carolina. He is the regular nominee of the party; is a scholarly and eloquent man, a leader of his race, and the peer of any man in the State. Dr. Jacobs is a strong force in the M. E. Church, and a man of learning and deep research, who will receive the full Republican vote from his District. THE COLORED AMERICAN speaks of him at length in this weeks issue. THE PEOPLE KNOW A GOOD THING. The advent of the Newark Shoe Store has proven to be a fact the old truth which the martyred Lincoln put into the axiom, viz: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people all of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." The Newark Shoe Store has come to "fill a long felt want." and the people of Washington have shown their appreciation by giving it their patronage in such a way that proves that the store has "come to stay." The Newark Shoe is up-to-date, and comes in all of the latest patterns. The leather is of the best quality, and the make will please the most fastidious. Mr. Fred P. Dodge, the manager has already won a place for himself in the business community as well as in the esteem of those who have been fortunate enough to visit the Newark Shoe Store. The readers of The Colored American are invited to visit this store, 913 Penn. avenue, N. W., whethe: they wish to make a purchase or not. AN ENTERPRISING PHARMACIST. The many friends of Dr. W. S. Smith will be pleased to learn of his success in passing the examination of the Board of Pharmacy for the District of Columbia. The doctor was one of three successful candidates out of nine applicants for License to practice pharmacy in the District of Columbia, being especially complimented on his examination by the members of the Board, he having made the highest percentage. Dr. Smith is now engaged in business at the corner of Seventh and Pomeroy streets, where he has a full line of Druggists' sundries and every thing usually found in a first class drug store. We predict for Dr. Smith a successful business career. Success, doc. Hon. Judson W. Lyons reply to Senator Hill, of New York, and Gassaway Davis, of West Virginia, as to the Negro votes of the north in last Monday's Star was a corker, and created havoc in the camp of the enemy.
