A Silver Watch.Holder.

A new wrinkle for the toilet table is
the watch-holder made like a picture
frame. 1t is of sterling silver and the
watch fits into the opening, where 1t is
clamped into place, so, when the watch
is not in use by the woman herself,
there is a pretty and useful clock on
the dresser.

MIR. WATKINS CRITICIZEs MIR
FORTUNE.
"who Can We Trust?"

BY chance I have before me a copy
of Fortunes Freeman" OF February
22nd, last. Since I learned that the
veteran Editor had re-entered the
literary field, in view of his past mer-
itorious work as Electrician of "The
New York Age" with its mastery
championship of race interests. I had
expected to find his old spirit in heap
ing measures in his new efforts.
Alas! have read his editorial.
Give Secretary Taft a Square Deal'
and In a true biblical sense IL "hisses
IKE a serpent and stings like an
adderi"
In regard TO the relation of Sec
retary Taft TO the Brownsville issue
this editorial States: I'VE have said
in another publication. that he should
nave resigned rather than sustain tho
order That is an extreme view of
the mater which now We modify on
reelection" "
Here follows an argument for the
Justification and eXoneration of the
secretary. The concluding para
graph is especially significant: 1--WE

clamor against Secretary Taft He
is a strong man with a clean record
and we ara going 10 give him a
square deal in Fortunes Freeman.
II he gets the nomination we are
going to support him"
How foreign does this all seem to
our once beloved Mr.. Fortune,
Springing up as il does in the minds
OF a presidential campaign Of such
vast importance TO the American Ne
gro, who of us can read the editorial
In question and not feel deep down
in our hearts the full significance of

of Virginia by the so-called Lily
White Republicans and the denial TO
colored Republicans OF an equal voice
in the councils. meetings and conven-
tions Of the Republican party. we
appeal to the colored Republicans Of
Richmond and State OF Virginia to
stand loyal and firm for their rights
and privileges in the councils and
conventions of the Republican party.
and ii they are not given proper re-
presentation and treated with fair
ness and justice to organize separate
conventions and elect delegates and
carry their contest TO the floor of the
National Republican Convention at
Chicago.
I'VE appeal 10 the liberal white
Republicans TO stand firm for the
iair play sor all Republicans.
We denounce the men who are
Republicans FOR the revenue only and
are simply seekers after the loaves
and fishes as unworthy Of the conf
dence Of the public press and Of the
honest manhood Of the State, wheth-
er white or colored."

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

AT the conclusion Of the speech
the following resolutions, offered by
DR.. p. B. Ramsey were unanimously
adopted:
The colored citizens of Richmond
in mass meeting assembled do re-
spectfully utter profound and warm
est thanks and offer our most hearty
congratulations to Senator Joseph
Benson Foraker for his manly and
patriotic efforts to secure a fair and
impartial hearing for Companies b,
G and ID of the Twenty-ffth Infan-
try of the United States Army dis
missed by President Roosevelt with
out honor and without either a civ
il or military trial, on the charge
OF shooting up Brownsville, Tex. on
August IS, 1906.
I'VE declare that the condemna-
tion and punishment of any man or
set of men without n fair and open
hearing is absolutely reprehensible
and entirely un-American and is the
essence of lynch-law.
I'VE further declare that the Presi
dent of the United States by the dis
charge of these brave defenders of
the nations fiag-some of them be-
ing veterans of three wars and have
served in the army for more than a
quarter of a century-without a
competent and fair trial makes him
self liable to the charge of practic-
ing lynch-law by executive decree.
I'VE further declare that inasmuch
as an exhaustive examination con-
Quoted by the Committee on Military
Affairs of the United States Senate
has utterly failed to prove a case
against the battalion or any mem
ber of It., that, therefore, the soldiers
are morally and legally entitled to
the benefit of the doubt and that the
stigma placed upon them by the dis
charge without honor should be re-
moved, and that they should be re-
stored to the army without loss of
prestige and with full pay for the
period OF their discharge
1--WE, therefore, respectfully ap-
peal to the United States Senators
aud representatives in Congress from
the State OF Virginia to use their in
funce and exercise their good Offices
TO secure this need of justice for the
brave defenders OF our country's
flag.
Furthermore, we do here give
expression to our solemn and most
emphatic protest against the seizure
OF the Republican organization of
