There will be a prize wrestling match at the Masonic hall Oct. 27th. This will and promises to be a star bout. Mrs. Robt. Smally who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Haynes of Atlanta, Georgia, for several weeks returned to the city this week much elated over her trip, while she made many new friends. Bro. Richard Mathews, 3532 Rhodes Ave. is still confined to his home under the care of the doctor. Friends should call and see him. Quinn Chapel was taxed to its uttermost capacity to accommodate those who desired to head the Williams Jubilee Singers. They well sustained the record as among the best. Mr. Adolph Terverlon is still in the cigar business making the smokes that everybody enjoys. He is one of the chartered members of John C. Buckner Lodge, G. U. O. of O. F. Call to see him at 3718 Forest Ave. Bro. G. D. Stevens, delegate to the B. M. C. at Washington, D. C., read at the last meeting of Ezekiel Lodge, 1905, his report. It was the most complete report in the history of the Order. Our own, the 8th Ill. N. G., will return home from the front on Saturday. The line of march will be headed by Mayor W. Hale Thompson and all the leading colored men will be on hand to greet and welcome the boys on their return. We wonder if all the leading newspapers will print the name of all the unemployed colored boys who left their jobs to answer the call of the nation. MISS ROBERTHA ECHOLS, 5480 Ingleside Ave. Chicago.

Many colored men of intelligence and character were selected by the last Republican administration to fill positions of trust in the government, and, all but two or three were turned out of office by President Wilson. The Democratic party has never had any fixed principles or policies. It has ever been the blind instrument of every bad element that might for the time being be uppermost or seem to promise party success. Nearly all of the prominent colored men who strayed away into the Democratic camp in 1912 have come back to the Republican fold. They say there is no place in the Democratic camp for a colored man. Senator Vardaman of Mississippi, who has dictated the Jim-crow policy of President Wilson, said: "I do not think that a negro should be permitted to participate in the government of the nation." There are more than 300 colored newspapers in the United States, and of these only three are supporting the Democratic party. The great majority are urging the election of Chas. E. Hughes. A prominent churchman said recently that caste in India is passing. Caste in the United States is growing stronger, especially since the Democrats have ruled the land. Be sure to make a vigorous fight for the Republican candidate for Congress in every district. A Republican Congress is needed to uphold a Republican president. The South would be poor today without the colored toilers, yet it is in the South that the Democrats have stolen colored men's rights. The colored man has everything to gain by the triumph of the Republican party—the party of freedom and human rights. T. R. told a Louisville audience that Wilson has let Europe take us by the coat collar and kick us from behind. Party principles have not changed. The Decemocratic party is the same today as it was in the fifties and sixties. Democratic papers and speakers continue to ask: "What would Hughes da?" although he has made specific statements as to how he would handle future problems. The more important question is "What would Wilson DO?" No one can tell how he would act by what he says. Brilliant Colors In Hate This is a season of most brilliant colors in millinery, cerise, king's blue combined with green and a touch of pink, the tan shades, sage green, gray and pink ostrich plumes, and smart combinations of black and white, all are used with a lavish hand. One of the smart new touches is to match the taffeta dress with a hat faced with the same material, trimming the top of the hat with a contrasting color. Contrasting facings are the rule, but there are exceptions — Harper's Hazar. AN ESTIMATE OF PRESIDENT WILSON By Charles E. Hughes.

WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN PUT RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE PEACE. All theories of the efficacy of education are set at naught in the character of Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States and candidate for re-election. Mr. Wilson is undoubtedly a man of classic culture. The greater part of his life has been spent either as a student or a professor at Princeton University. For many years prior to his academic essay at politics he was President of that famous institution. We believe that his biographers recount something about his being a sort of lay preacher in a great church. He is the author of a more or less pretentious history of the country and as a writer upon sociological and scientific subjects and economics his letter bear the stamp of authority. When he was a candidate for the Presidency of the United States he published promises to the colored citizens that were fairer perhaps than any candidate for that high office had ever offered them. He declared that he would protect them in every right guaranteed them by the Constitution. Many of the colored people, led by some of the brightest thinkers in the race, accepted his pronunciamento for its face value. He was a man of education and it was presupposed that he was removed from the petty prejudices of the dull and the ignorant. They had reason to believe that his pre-election word would yield 100 per cent in redemption after his election. Candidate Wilson's word is still out and has gone to protest in President Wilson's clearing house. Contrary to his promise to deal out to the colored man a fair hand of equal justice, he has succeeded in three years in destroying what it has taken the Republican Party fifty years to construct in the way of civil rights for colored citizens. When he entered the White House he closed the door in the face of the colored people and bent his ear to the venom of Vardaman. He swept the platter clean of the colored man's connection with public service or responsibility, thus flying in the face of the record of his own party when President Cleveland consistently adhered to the custom of rendering unto Caesar the things that were Caesar's—positions that the Republicans had accredited and delivered to the colored race for thirty years. The supporters of Mr. Wilson say that the American people should vote for him because he has kept us out of war. It is worth while to remember that this is a claim that cannot be advanced either on behalf of Washington or of Lincoln. Neither Washington nor Lincoln kept us out of war. Americans, and the people of the world at large, now reverence the memories of these two men because, and only because, they put righteousness before peace. They abhorred war. They shunned unjust or wanton or reckless war. But they possessed that stern valor of patriotism which bade them put duty first, not safety first, which bade them accept war rather than an unrighteous and disastrous peace. There were peace-at-any-price men in the days of Washington. They were the Tories. There were peace-at-any-price men in the days of Lincoln. They were the Copperheads. The men who now with timid hearts and quavering voices praise Mr. Wilson for having kept us out of war are the spiritual heirs of the Tories of 1776 and the Copperheads of 1864. The men who followed Washington at Trenton and Yorktown and who suffered with him through the winter at Valley Forge and the men who wore the Blue under Grant and the Gray under Lee were men of valor, who sacrificed everything to serve the right as it was given them to see the right. They spurned with contemptuous indignation the counsels of the feeble and cowardly folk who in their day spoke for peace-at-any price.—From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes.

The Democratic Party believes in restricting the privilege of citizenship to a particular class and has written its opinions into the statutes, constitutions, and practices of nearly every Southern State where that party is dominant. The Republican Party believes in that doctrine so tersely expressed by Col. Roosevelt "All men up rather than some men down," and it has always encouraged the colored citizen in his efforts and ambition to rise higher in the scale of civilization. The Negro's opportunity under Republican control is strikingly shown by the fact that in every State that is Democratic the statute books are covered with disfranchisement laws, Jim Crow laws, segregation laws, and other forms of discriminatory legislation based on race or color, while in every State classified as Republican, without exception, there is not a single law which strikes hope from the black man's heart nor has any such discouraging law ever been proposed by Republicans. Ever since Washington City has been the Capitol of the nation, even during the slavery period, colored men have served acceptably in Government departments. They have held positions varying from unskilled laborer, messenger, and the like, to high-class clerkships, and even prominent official positions, such as Asst. Attorney General, Collector, Collector of Internal Revenue, New York; Register of U. S. Treasury, Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia, Auditor of Navy, etc. For years and years the Negro has worked in friendship and with efficiency alongside of his white brother in various Government departments, and no political party, prior to the advent of President Wilson, the "breaker of precedents" has ever attempted to segregate the Negro in the departmental service. Even under Grover Cleveland's administration the Negro was considered a part of official Washington, and proved himself to be a competent and dependable American. But when President Wilson was inaugurated a well organized effort was made to change all of this, and the persistent aim of the Democratic Party has been to eliminate and humiliate the Negro. H. L.

When a woman decitres that she “feels like a dish rag” she is dragging herself dewn to the lowest level of stil life. We doubt not from the personal Appearance of that handy article of do. mestic utility that if any life existed at all In said tax it could uot possibly fal! lover or feel meaner. However, woman should never offer herself in comparison with so degraded an ob: Ject for the simple reason that man. kind spurns the dish rag most vehe mently, and as woman exists solely for mau she should not seek to lower her- self in his esteem. When a rag takes up its duties in the dishpan it has reached the tg end of abandoned hope, the climax perhaps of a merry life. A dish raz might have been a lovely lady's hese in its palmy days adorned by a silken garter and sur- rounded by costly lingerie, But it is not of its past that I speak. It is of its present social standing, its vulgar environment and its utter self aban- donment. "Tis true that you may fee! fatigued to a limp and loppy degree, but never ean you feel so_ utterly wretched and beyond redemption as a dish rag.—Zim in Cartoous Magazine, adeiek tun the thei. | When you plan to furnish your new ‘home and have just so much money to spend berin by inaking two lists, one of the things you want and the other of things you have to have. Cross off from one and add to the other and sou will get the best results from your money, Maus for furnishing a home should begin with the kitchen. A housewife spends « good share of her time in the Kitehen, and she owes it to herself to make it as attractive and easy to work in ag possible. Too many young housekeepers plan their furnishings and homes with a view to what their frfends will say abont them and not enough attention to the real needs. Too many of us start furnishing our homes where our frievds will see them first—at the front door—and when we get to the kitchen there is nothing left =St. Louis Post-Dispateh, Gian snst Selina: “A good advertisement,” said an ad- vertising man, “shonid be as sharp and pointed as the Irishman’s answer. “The witty Judge Lord Morris was on the Irish circnit, and one evening at dinner be tried to tell a story, but an Irishman kept interrupting him. “Finally, in despair, Lord Morris seized the interrupter by the sleeve, “Surely,” he said—‘surely, man, ye want to hear the story 0 the rint breaker 0° Bally-Skilereen.” ““No, no, me lord.’ said the inter- rupter, ‘that’s the lle I tould ye meself yesterday.’ "—Pbiladelpbia Bulletin, Eskimo Mourning Customs. All Eskimos are superstitious atout death, and, although they hold festl- vals in memory of departed friends, they will usually carry a dying person to some abandoned but, there to drag ont his remaining days without food. medicine, water or attendance.

THE PARTY LABEL It is hardly necessary to state that the Negro vote will go to Mr. Chas. E. Hughes, because Negroes have been consistent Republicans. They cannot support Mr. Wilson, because of his "Segregation of Negro employees" and his catering to Southern sentiment, which is anti-Negro. But there are many good men in the Democratic party who are our friends. Some are in office and their record on Negro questions stands on par with their Republican colleagues. It is more a matter of sectionalism than partisanism. The Northern Democrat is often preferred to the Southern Republican. Notwithstanding that we want to increase our Republican strength in both branches of Congress; we should not follow the label and vote for a candidate, who is tagged as a Republican and repudiate a present office holder, though a Democrat, who is on record as being for equal rights for all Americans. Dr. Cyrus Northrop, a supporter of Pres. Taft, said that "if Mr. Wilson proves to be a good president, he would support him for reelection." Dr. Northrup is for Mr. Hughes. We, as Negro voters, must put the character and record of the candidate above any party label.—Twin City Star.

The Committee of Colored Citizens selected from the country at large, as Advisory to the Republican National Committee, having met this day in New York City and desiring to express to the Colored voters of the country the necessity for supporting the Republican party candidates for President, Vice-President, Senate and House of Representatives, addresses this letter to the 700,000 Colored voters and the thousands of potential voters whose duty it is to register in order that they may perform their duty to the country in this National crisis. This is the Presidential year. The time has come to hold the Wilson Administration and the Democratic party to a "strict accountability." Are you ready for the fight? Or do you desire four years more of what the New York World calls the "Jim Crow Government at Washington"? No campaign since that for the second election of Abraham Lincoln has been more vital to the liberty and happiness of the 10,000,000 of Colored citizens than is the present campaign for the election of Charles Evans Hughes for President, and a Republican Congress. Four years ago a considerable number of the race helped elect a Democratic president. This was done under fair promises and just treatment, "not grudgingly given but in generous fashion." The result has shown the experiment to have been the utmost political folly and race-suicide, and has shown that the Democratic party can not be trusted to deal fairly with our race in this country. The votes of the men of color for the Democratic candidates for President were obtained by fine phrases and false pretenses. No sooner had the Democratic Administration come into power than Mr. Wilson and his advisors entered upon a policy to eliminate all Colored citizens from representation in the Federal Government. The offices of Assistant Attorney General, Recorder of Deeds, Register of the U. S. Treasury, Auditor of the Navy, Minister to Hayti, Collectorship of Internal Revenue in New York, Florida and Hawaii were vacated and filled by white Democrats. There were no "deserving Colored Democrats" to be found in the country. Not only did the Administration proceed to demote in and eliminate the Negro from the Civil Service of the United States by scores, and to segregate those remaining in the service, but also to make impossible further appointments by requiring the race of the applicant to be shown by his photograph. The reason assigned by the Administration for its policies has been that "Southern people would not stand for Presidential appointments of Negroes to office" and "that segregation was for the benefit of humanity." The Administration was "too proud to fight" Mexico but did not hesitate to conquer the Black Republics of Hayti and Santo Domingo, and has practically established protectorates over them. There was one policy of International justice for Mexico and another towards the Negro Republics to the south of us. The president has expressed himself as in sympathy with the "enslaved men and women of Mexico," but has found no words of sympathy for the Colored citizens of America. "The New Freedom" does not include the Negro. "Humanity" for which the President has expressed such great love, does not include the Colored race. The President said in a notable address, that "the man who seeks to divide man from man, group from group, and interest from interest is striking at the very heart of America." No man has done so much since Emancipation to so separate and divide the Nations into groups, and to eliminate the Colored Race as a representative group of Americans, as has the President himself. Colored men, we must arise! Those who vote adn those entitled to vote must strike for their liberties. This is a campaign for the restoration of the rights, privileges and immunities that we have heretofore enjoyed under the Republican Administration of the National Government. Four years more of President Wilson will mean our complete elimination from American politics. We submit that the man who is ready to die for his country at Carrizal, is fit to serve his country at Washington; and that the man who is fit to be buried in the National Cemetery at Arlington, is fit to serve his country in the Capitol of the Nation. The Republican candidate for President, Charles Evans Hughes, has shown himself to be a man of highest character and of absolute sincerity in his devotion to the cause of liberty, justice and humanity, and when he is elected President of the United States, we may confidently expect from him a square deal and complete protection in all our sacred rights as citizens, and the full enjoyment of the opportunities to which we are justly entitled, under the Constitution and Laws of our Country.
