and black bound with silk. The color
combinations are peculiar. For in
stance, the back and sides of the
garment will be of plain tan and the
front show good sized diamonds in
tan and brown. If a jacket instead of
a vest is shown, the sleeves will be
of the plain tan to match the back
and sides. These jackets are less bulky
than sweaters or knitted vests and ut
the figure like a glove.
Leggins in Angora are extremely
popular with young women who skate
or ride horseback in winter, while for
the motorist there comes an ideally
soft cap which fits like visor, with a
flap which turns up to admit goggles.
This cap protects not only the head
but the throat and ears.
Angora gloves are also shown but
they are less popular with athletic
folk than mittens with half-fingers,
which can be slipped over kid gloves,
giving the wearer free use OF his
hands. These cost $500.
The weave used in this raiment is
more firm than that which is shown
in the little fluffy caps in pure white
which are offered for babies. In this
new form Angora clearly distances
any recent offerings for athletic wear,
and II commands the high price which
is the penalty Of popularity. An An
CORA vest VIII cost sl6, while ono
made from ordinary yarn Of good
quality can be bought for $3.50.
Another article OF raiment extreme
~ popular with motorists is the long
neck scarf In shape not unlike that
worn By our great grandfathers.
These scnrfs are not knitted or cro-
cheted but are patterned from a non
fhrlnkable flannel OF silky softness.
They come IN grey and tan and can
be wound round and round the throat

Afro1American should support
Roosevelt and Fairbanks
Because they represent in dis
tinctive manner the principles and
needs of human freedom, political
equality, and the righteousness of a
free ballot and fair count for every
citizen of the republic.
Because they are opposed by the
representatives of a party, who
fought four years for the purpose of
destroying the Union and perpetual

tions of the South maintaining a sys-

re-enacted.
Because as loyal citizens, we take
pride in the achievements and Prov
ess of American craftsmanship
abroad, and the heretofore unequaled
material developments at home un-
der the leadership of Roosevelt.
Because the Democratic party as
exemplifed by it's Tillmans and VAR
damans, is stencil in the nostrils
Of decent Americans and a. disgust
to the national conscience.
Because of Roosevelt's breadth of
sympathy for the poor and oppress-

men up rather than some men down"
and his interest in industrial edu-
cation and it's chief promoter, Book

To the Editor of The Appeal.
In reply to your question, "Why
Afro-Americans Should Support
Roosevelt and F'airbanks?' / have to
say that while the. question is per-
tinent at this time, the answer is
so apparent that it would seem a
waste of time and space in making
reply to do more than to refer to the
present attitude of the two great
political parties on the so-called race
problem.
If Judge Parker should be elected
president he would be dominated by
the South, which is the body and
strength of the Democratic party OF
the country, and with the Morgan,
Tillman, Vardaman coterie in the
Southern states at the helm, the door
of hope of Afro-Americans seeking re-
lief from inhuman, illegal and uncon-
stitutional oppression in the South,
would be indefinitely closed
To elect Theodore Roosevelt Presi
dent of the United States Is to elect
man who has declared himself upon
the question of human liberty, in Ian
guage which I believe SO far as he is
concerned is irrevocable. Mr.. Roose-
welt has said: eff I could be abso-
lutely assured of my election as Presi-
dent by turning my back on the prin-
ciples of human liberty as enunciated
by Abraham Lincoln, I would be in
capable of doing it and unfit for presi-
dent if I were capable of doing it,"

ORDER NO. 70.

Judge Parker's idea, of his duty to
the superannuated soldier is tersely
expressed in the old saying: Live
horse and you shall have hay. He is
forced to dissent from Order 7S, be-
cause the Executive has no right to
make any such order, and because OF
the enormous expense it would entail
on the government Such is his ar
gument, but he fails to prove either
point, The. Presidents order was in
strict accordance with the spirit; no
one has proved that it contravenes
even the letter of the law. and
Mr. Taft in recent speech showed
that it involved the expenditure OF
500, 900 in the space of three months.

DISHONEST DEMOCRATS.

In 1872, the Democratic party of the
United States declared in it's platform
that no attempt would ever be made
to reopen the questions settled by the
civil war and the adoption of the thir-
teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution. x
The plank in the platform of 1872,
reads as follows:
"1. We recognize the equality Of all
nnen before the law, and hold that it
is the duty of the government in it's
dealings with the people to mete out
equal and exact justice to all, Of
whatever nativity, race, color, persua-
sion, religious or political: "st4
"2. We pledge ourselves to main
tain the union Of these states, emanci.

oppose any re-opening OF the questions
settled by the Thirteenth, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments to the Con.

Why Afro-Americans Should Vote
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
First, because to vote against
Roosevelt and Fairbanks would be
to approve every disfranchisement
law and other race discriminating
measures passed by the Southern
wing of the Democratic party.
Second. because to vote against
Roosevelt is a vote to increase the
power for mischief of Tillman, and
every other reactionary politician in
the Southern democracy. l.- n.y..
Third, because Roosevelt stands
for the wide open door of opportunity
for all men and his opponents for the
open door for only some men.
Fourth, Roosevelt believes in Civ
ing meaning and force to the war
amendments; his opponents believe
either in repeating such amendments
or multiplying the liberty-giving spirit
that brought them into being.
+ Fifth, Roosevelt stands for the
merit of all men, his opponents stand
for the merit of only some men.
Sixth. with Roosevelt, character is
everything, with his opponents, color
is everything. .-H
Seventh, with Roosevelt the Golden
Rule and the Declaration of Inde~
pendence must be a vital part of all
our national policiesy with his ,oppon-
ents, the Golden Rule is thing of
brass and the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence means nothing for colored
men. III 1850 4 &g5lY&5

TILLMAN ON EDUCATION.

Someone recently suggested to Pitch
fork Tillman that the race question
could be settled by education.
Educate niggers?" repeated the
senator, and then he laughed. Say,
there is only one niger in 100 that
can stand an education. The first thing
that an educated nigger wants to do is
to preach the gospel. If not that he
wants to practice law or teach school.
Somebody has got to pound it into
their heads that they were put on
earth to pick cotton and that's what
they'll have to do in the South. You
certainly have made a mess OF the mig
ger in the North. It's mighty sell
dom that a niger becomes educated.
He gets sort of veneering and wants
to associate with white people, and
when he learns that hescant he drops
the veneering and becomes just
plain niger. A niger is nigger and
you can't make anything else out OF
him. It will come mighty near being

repealed

the war amendments and thousands
of Afro-American citizens were depriv-

later by the enactment of unfair elec-

Next the Southern Democratic legis.

other infamous acts for the humilia-
ton and degradation of the Afro

Now the spokesmen of the Demo-

men before the law and actually favor
the repeal of the fourteenth and fif-
teenth amendments.

Why Afro-Americans Should Sup

Because they are the candidates of
the Republican party-which stands
for the equality of all citizens before
the law, regardless of race, previous
condition or place of habitation with

Because the Republican party, in
it's platform, favors the enforcement
of the Constitution of the United
States and is opposed to permitting
one mans vote in the South to count
for as much as three mems votes in
the North and West in deciding the
votes of States in the electoral col
lege and in the election of members
of the House of Representatives in
Congress.
Because Theodore Roosevelt is the
most conspicuous representative of
the ideal American citizen; he has
faith in the future of his country; he
stands for right and justice for all
it's people; he enfOrces the laws i'm
partially against the rich and the
poor and he gives the protection of
the laws to rich and poor alike.
Because the Republican party has
brought prosperity to our country and
its people and as wage earners the
Afro-American can not be prosperous
unless the country enjoys prosperity.
Because the Democratic party
stands for no principles that mean
the progress and advancement Of the
either politically or in

Roosevelt and Fairbanks stand for

positions in the gift of the people.
They have the courage to do the
right as they see it. - >'..
They can not be influenced by one
