The Rising Son

This Paper Intends to Cairy on Its Great Fight for the Negro Race. Rising Sun It Pays to Advertise in the Rising Son for It Reaches More Homes of Colored People than any other Paper in the State. The Beginning of the Downfall of Nelson C. Crews. VOLUME XI. Standing as it were before the great body of Negroes, one can watch the trend of circumstances and the changing of history. Great men have their rise in the advocating of some great principle. When the men who have risen through the combined effort of the people to push them forget from whence their power comes; the wheel of time begins to roll with them down the hill of life. When a man is rising, everybody is inclined to help him up, and when a man's feet begin to go down the ladder, so it is everybody begins to help him down. When a man stands for a strong principle that will benefit the people, the people get behind him and make him a leader and the stronger he fights for right the greater his leadership among his people. In all periods great men have risen an afalfen. In all instances where an man have stood for or against certain public questions they have been judged in proportion. So it is with Nelson C. Crews. Some 18 years ago Crews began his political career in this city. For a number of years he has had the great body of Negroes with him, but little acts from time to time in this community they began to tear him down. In every action of his career he has always followed his impulse. Like some god of old he forgot from whence his power came. Many and many a time Crews has risen up to strike men down whom he thought aspired to the leadership of his race. Abraham Lincoln said, and his statement holds true to this day, "You can fool all the people some of the time, some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool them all the time." Crews has been fooling some of the people too long. Too long has he held the bounded yoke of political tyranny in his hand, but the people have at last found him out. In his attempt the other evening to crush the rising generation of younger Negroes every Negro throughout the breadth of this city has risen up against him. Not only did he, as a so-called leader, strike a blow at the young man in this community, but he struck a blow at the entire race that made it tremble from end to end. For the younger men to have allowed this without retaliation would have been for them to have sunk their manhood into the earth and walk away like a cowardly hound beneath his master's lash. Ah! thank God they did not do it, but like men as they have risen up and presented a solid front to the enemy. Eighteen years Crews has ruled this city like a god. But never, never more, will the brave Negroes submit to his dictation. The great mistake of his life was his speech for the defense of corruption. This speech will prove his Waterloo. He has injured himself greater than any man could have done it; listen at him at the mass meeting, standing as it were for the corrupt actions of other men, calling on the people to denounce and repudiate the Editor of this paper because he stood for right. It is the same old speech of Brutus asking the people to accept his bloody deed, because he, Brutus it was that stabbed Caesar. Therefore he wished the people to accept the situation because he, Crews, had spoken. Doing the eighteen years of his political career in this city he has not contributed one single thing for the benefit of the Negro in this community. All he has done was to make speeches from time to time. Let us now search the doing of his political career. Eighteen years at the Ple Crib and he doesn't, to the knowledge of anybody, own one single piece of property. Every Negro who he has tried to crush has excelled him in every manner. He has never given a single Negro who possessed a small amount of ability any kind of assistance. He has never been a true race leader, always leading for a selfish purpose. His only power is his gift of gab, but the moment that he uses it for any purpose save a righteous one, he is shorn of his strength. Like Sampson, when he allowed his hair to be clipped, he lost his strength and was weak as a child, so it was with Crews when he made that speech in defense of wrong. His great following of Negroes left him. There was even a mob demonstration against him. Like the Raven in the poem of Edgar Allen Poe, "Never, Never more shall he regain their confidence. One of his first political actions was the crushing of Minor Bass. Then came Lawyer Sublett and Dr. Henderson. His fight against Willis Mosley and J. F. Cole now mail carriers. Then came his fight against J. Silas Harris, Jone Rone, Monholland, John Wheeler, and R. W. Alexander and by misrepresentation he engaged others in his fight against Alexander. For ten years he has made a continuous fight against the principals of the Negro schools and the teachers. He has them at his mercy. He made an open fight against R. W. Foster, crushing his son; refusing to allow Dallas Foster to accept the position as assistant to the clerk of police court. In all cases the men whom he has tried to crush are buying or owning property. Most every Negro with his exception who are holding jobs under the administration have either bought or are buying property. So you see that from a material standpoint he has contributed nothing to the welfare of the Negro race. Every time the white Republican leaders have picked him up and made him the leader of these splendid Negroes who are earning their bread by the sweat of their brow. These are the things that point toward the beginning of his downfall. No man can be a leader of the people long who has not made good. Now as to Crews and Wm. T. Washington, Crews completely crushed this young man's political aspirations. Fresh from Williams' college this young man sought to rise in his home town. He went to Nelson C. Crews, whom he thought was the Negro political leader and to whom he swore allegiance. This young man stood with Crews in all his actions of right and the first fight against Washington when he received a commission to stump the state of Missouri for the Republican ticket in the fall of 1904. Crews in an underhand manner fought him in receiving the commission. When the young man in a manly manner asked him about it he denied the assertions. After allowing the young man to serve in the capacity of clerk of the police court during his illness, the next three times of his absence from that office he refused to allow him to serve. Again Crews in a combination with T. C. Unthank fought him when he filed his application for a county position after his splendid work for the party in 1904. Coming on to the city election in which Henry M. Beardsley was elected, Crews fought Washington so viciously that after 8 or 10 speeches he was completely silenced in the campaign. After the election the young man filed his application for a job, and the white men, believing in the leadership of Crews, consulted him about the matter. Crews, Knowing that T. C. Unthank was fighting Washington, re fused to assist him in getting a job. When Crews found out that Washington had filed an application for A. E. Holmes' office, he told that gentleman that he couldn't hold the job because he had one leg and could not get around. His last act committed against Washington was in the mass meeting of Sunday night. When he denounced him as a black scoundrel, pimp, thief and renegade. Will the public let these things go unnoticed? Because Crews can make a speech does the public think that they can not do without him. No! Every young man and old man, for that matter, have decided that Crews is not a fit man to lead his race. From silent opposition they have risen up to outward and open protest. The Metropolitan S Made Good in I City on the W Way Prop Before the election of Mayor Beardsley one of the main issues in the campaign was the Metropolitan Street railway proposed offer on the West Traffic Way Construction. From a Crews never proved faithful to his supporters. He has always acted purely from a selfish motive. Crews has always been known as a mud slinger and a bluffer. During the contest between Davenport and Beardsley Crews threw so much mud at Davenport and his friends that the Upper house men refused at first to confirm his appointment. Notwithstanding that the man he supported won the election. Two thirds of the Negroes were against Crews and Unthank. He lost his ward on account of the bitter opposition; Unthank lost his ward for the same reason. A man in order to hold the leadership of his race must do something for them. Crews has in a great measure failed to do this. For his ungrateful actions he is at last reaping the whirlwind. A drowning man grasps at the last straw. He, Crews, at last has reached the zenith of his power. Now comes the descent. Farewell, a last farewell to all my greatness. If I had served my race as I have served myself in my last days of prosperity. I could say that I had lived my life and served my God. A LARGE CROWD OF NEGRO CITI ZENS HEARD CREWS' THREATS TO SHOOT THE EDITOR OF THE RISING SON. Last Tuesday evening about 6 o'clock, Nelson C. Crews, Clerk of Police Court, walked to the office of the Rising Son, on twelfth street, and with loud tones and great demonstrating threats, swore he would shoot W.T. Washington, Editor of Rising Son, if anything appeared in this week's paper about him. Such actions on the part of one high in authority should be investigated, and further as clerk of the police court, with power to carry a gun, it should be brought to the hearing of the mayor. The Negroes do not want any one in such a responsible position, who is carrying a big cannon on his hip, threatening to shoot on sight. This thing should be brought before the mayor. OFFICE OF CITY ATTORNEY Kansas City, June 10, 1907. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that I have known Mr. William T. Washington for over three years. I know Mr. Washington to be a good, honest and upright man and an honor to the colored race. At no time has complaint been filed with me against Mr. Washington. Respectfully, JOHN N. SWENSON. City Attorney. The Lincoln High School G. O. C gave a very entertaining program at the New High School building last Wednesday noon. Speeches were made by old ex-exgraduates, Geo. Martin, first secretary of the Grisham Oratorical Club; Edward Thompson, first president of the club, and Wm. T. Washington, first vice president, and second president. Speeches were also made by members of the club, David Emery, Wm. Rice and Mr. Fields, now president. Mr. John Ford, one of Kansas City's most aggressive young men, and a waiter at the Baltimore Hotel was married last week to Miss Erma Robinson. The Metropolitan Street Railway has Made Good in Its Offer to the City on the West Traffic Way Proposition. Before the election of Mayor Beardsley one of the main issues in the campaign was the Metropolitan Street railway proposed offer on the West Traffic Way Construction. From a Caucasian standpoint this issue was one of Mr. Beardsley's chief weapons to win his election, as his propositions held out great possibilities to the people. Mr. Beardsley became mayor, and since that time conference after conference was held to arrive at a fair settlement where all concerned would get justice. A letter no later than February 1 from the mayor to President Corrigan. It remains only for the Metropolitan Street Railway company to improve its street car service on the Twelfth street line and build its own tunnel and viaduct on West Twelfth street. Mr. Corrigan stated that he did not see through that part of the mayor's letter insister that the Metropolitan shall be kept on the south line of Twelfth street from Mulberry street to the Bluffs. A part of President Corrigan's letter to Mayor Beardsley was as follows: "In answer to your second proposition in which you have arbitrarily fixed the sum of $235,000 as the Metropolitan's share of the cost. It is not indicated in your letter as to just how you arrived at that amount as our just proportion. You have made it just $140,000 more than we estimated a viaduct for our own use would cost. I note also that you cite the Rock Island's offer as justifiable of your demand on us. I can only say that when it was proposed to have the Metropolitan pay all the cost that the Rock Island refused to contribute more than $100,000 for the same privilege. You evidently have been able to bring other pressure to bear upon them to induce them to double their contribution. "In conclusion, I will say, that at any time the city will give us a reasonable ordinance to build a tunnel for our own use we will proceed to do so." Mr. Corrigan, in answer to a question as to the chances of the city and the Metropolitan coming to an agreement said: "If the city will deal with the Metropolitan in a way one busi THIS IS TO BE A GREAT ORGAN IZATION. [Name] REV. G. T. MOSBY. was organized January 1, 1907, with a the company to success. Geo Johnson capital stock of $2,000 in shares which secretary; G. A Smith, treasurer. ness man should deal with another, we would certainly get together, but the trouble is the mayor seems to only have a scheme and he wants the Metropolitan and Rock Island to furnish all the money, and the trouble with us is that we don't get anything out of it except the privilege of spending over a half million dollars more in building a tunnel. In other words, the mayor asks us to pay $140,000 more than a separate viaduct for our own use would cost, and in addition loan the city $223,000 on what we believe would only be a moral obligation on the part of the city, and it must be remembered that the lender is always more careful about the security than the borrower. Can anything be fairer than the offer on the part of Mr. Corrigan? Should the mayor continue to put the people off from time to time? Does the mayor seek to posSome from time to time these propositions in order to let them carry over to another campaign? Does he intend to inject this same issue in his next campaign when it can be properly adjusted? What are the circumstances surrounding the matter? Corporations have rights. Municipal Utilities should not be always subservient to arbitrary administrations. Why not come to some agreement? There are 35,000 Negroes in Kansas City and 6,000 do manual labor. Therefore in the beginning of the construction of the West Traffic Way thousands of Negroes would have work to do whereby they could support their depending families. Every one of these Negroes are voters. Thousands of them don't play politics. They only vote. They vote their sentiment in so much as they and their families can be benefited. This proposition therefore concerns the Negro The Metropolitan has made good in its proposed offer. Let some agreement be arrived at whereby the city, the company and all the citizens, both black and white, can be benefited. This proposition has continued for too long a period. Don't drag it into the next campaign. For it may act as a bommerang. Let the Metropolitan and the mayor get together. are selling very fast. Rev. G. T. Mosby, who is president, is a well experienced business man, and will carry NUMBER 40 Thousands of Negroes Read the Last Issue of the Rising Son. The people last week were very eager to secure copies of the Rising Son. All over town streams of people came to the various places where the paper was on sale to inform themselves as to the many doings of the people in the city. The publishers put out 5,000 copies more than our regular edition. Every one of them had been disposed of in a very short time. Down on Independence Ave. people were standing in line to await their turn to get a paper. Over on 18th St., it was the same way. Thirty newsboys were carrying the papers into every hamlet of the Negroes they could reach. At our office we had to have extra forces for relief. The people are aroused. Public sentiment has been deeply touched. Everybody who read the paper knows the paper's position and stand on certain questions were imperatively sincere. The power of the press is mighty, but the power of public opinion is mightier. An aroused public conscience is a dangerous thing to trifle with. Whosoever would try to check public opinion in its onward course for better conditions, will be swept aside like a frame house in a tempest. Last week the people were stirred up. They walked blocks and blocks to secure copies of our paper. If you would conquer, you must surrender. God moves the public and the public removes existing condition. Therefore every Negro who read last week's papers have made up their minds. WHITE CITY ELECTRIC PARK Mr. J. J. Heim, owner and controller of Electric Park, or as its new name goes "White City" has been kind enough to throw open its gates to the well-behaved and respectable Negroes as a place to go for recreation. Mr. Heim belongs to that element of Pure white people who believes in the Negro. This place should be well attended by our people to show him that he will not lose anything for his kindness toward our race. Every good white man should be exalted. Editorials NATURAL GAS TO EVERY DIS TRICT INCLUDING THE HOMES OF NEGROES. Natural gas has been turned on in every district of the city. There are 35,000 Negroes in Kansas City and out of that number a great number no doubt will take advantage of the cheapness of natural gas to have their homes and houses supplied with the beneficial fluid. For full particulars watch a later edition of this paper. The Negro should make an example of some one, so let us begin now. Now is your time. Let the work go on. The sooner the people are rid of all the Negro imposters in the various public positions, the better for the race. A copy of this paper can be secured at 914 E. 12th street. Phone your order and we will send one of our news-boys to your home. COPIES OF THE RISING SON CAN BE HAD AT SMITH'S THREE DRUG STORES. 805 INDEPENDENCE AVE., 908 E. 12th ST. AND 1307 E. 18th ST.

Memento for President Diaz. With a simple but impressive ceremony President Diaz was presented with the military painting portraying the action of his command in the battle of Puebla against the French forces in the war of the invasion. The painting, which was the work of the artist Francisco de P. Mendoza, a professor in the national school of fine arts and of the military college, was executed at the request of the governors of 12 Mexican states, and was presented as a personal gift to the chief magistrate. The painting represents Gen. Diaz in action in the glorious battle which won fame for the Mexican forces, and at the moment when the forces under the direct command of Gen. Diaz saved the day. Mexican Herald. Made for Fat Men. One of the narrow arches in the gallery of the chapel at Columbia university is not exactly symmetrical, although the defect is not noticeable to the casual observer, says the New York Globe. The reason for the widening of the arch after its original construction had rise in a somewhat humorous occurrence. One of the early visitors was a remarkably fat man, who found himself wedged into the arch when he tried to squeeze through and was extricated with difficulty. The builders, recognizing the possibility of other fat people being numbered among the future visitors, decided to widen the arch, sacrificing symmetry and harmony to practical need, as the pier was so constructed as to bear no loss of width on one of its sides. AN OLD EDITOR Found $2000 Worth of Food. The editor of a paper out in Okla, said: "Yes, it is true when I got hold of Grape-Nuts food. it was worth more than a $2000 doctor bill to me, for it made me a well man. I have gained 25 pounds in weight, my strength has returned tenfold, my brain power has been given back to me, and that is an absolute essential, for I am an editor and have been for 35 years. "My pen shall always be ready to speak a good word for this powerful nutritive food. I had of course often read the advertisements regarding Grape-Nuts, but never thought to apply the food to my own use, until, in my extremity and sickness the thought came to me that it might fit my case. The statements in regard to the food are absolutely correct, as I have proven in my own case. One very fortunate thing about the food is that while it is the most scientifically made and highly nourishing, concentrated food I have ever known, it has so delicious a taste that it wins and holds friends."

BOLDEN Society Editor Oldest Negro Journal In Kansas City The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Colored weekly newspapers. This paper never uttered a word against T. C. Unthank and his political aspirations to go to Washington that has been damaging. The mob demonstration against Crews shows whether that same old speech of his was a hit or not. Yes it was a hit as he came near being hit. At the last moment the friends of Crews deserted him. They felt what was coming so they avoided the storm. Crews like Ajax of old defied the lightning. Crews denounced the Editor of the Rising Son at the mass meeting Sunday night and after the meeting there was a mob demonstration against him. This shows whether Crews was right in his speech, Public disapproval is a great thing to take the starch out of a man. In this paper the people will read a letter from the city attorney denying that he had ever ordered Crews to issue a warrant for the Editor of this paper. Furthermore everybody knows that the power is with City Attorney Swenson alone to issue a warrant and that Crews has no such power, and we further brand his statements as false and malicious lies. He brags also of sending niggers to the workhouse. Then why was it the other day that he walked out of the court when the officer said Nigger? --- At the mass meeting Crews called the Editor of the Son a black scoundrel, pimp and thief. He also said he had a warrant at his office for his arrest. Now if such be the case, the police commissioners should investigate such actions on his part. If he has even said he did that, don't the public think in some cases he may have done so. Now this is holding up justice. Let the Mayor, as president of the board of police commissioners look into the matter. Dr. Theo.

Hurse. After reading the article in your paper I feel it my duty to say a word as a minister of the gospel. First, I will say that idleness is the devil's workshop. Ha1 Mr. Hurse been employed at some daily occupation, ten hours a day, and studied his Bible at night he would not have had time to take Mine. Jones to operas and pleasure driving. If he had been a God sent man he would never have tried to preach until he got himself a wife. Let me say to the Christian families: Beware of these single ministers, especially the Baptist Church, for our doctrine speaks bitterly against them. Our Bible teaches men a higher standard than keeping company with ill characters and swindling the people out of their money. Resurrection morning will find such like preachers in hell. REV. W. J. RICHARDSON. Is it a fact that trustee board of St. Stephen church and several of its members have known the condition of affairs between J. W. Hurse and Mme.

One of the most famous and useful of living missionary pioneers in China is just now on furlough in England. Mr. A. W. Cornaby belongs to the same category of accomplished litterateurs in the missionary field as Dr. Timothy Richard and Dr. Griffith John. These three wonderful experts in the language and is just now on furlough in England. Mr. A. W. Cornaby belongs to the same category of accomplished litterateurs in the missionary field as Dr. Timothy Richard and Dr. Griffith John. These three wonderful experts in the language and literature of the great oriental empire are achieving extraordinary results in transforming the mind of the cultured section of the native community throughout the land. Mr. Cornaby is editing two papers in the native language, says Christian Herald, and is taking a most influential part in the process of introducing western knowledge amongst educated Chinamen. they give the following account of the social system in China: "The government rests on a purely patriarchal foundation, with the emperor as patriarch or priestking, as in the case of Job or Melchizedek, the people being his little children, or 'pink babies,' as the Chinese call themselves to this day in relation to the emperor as their head. The mandarins are regarded as the 'deputy parents of the people.' These latter dignitaries are supposed to be above the need of any salary. They are unpaid magistrates. The arrangement seems to have worked well in the ideal days of certain early rulers of China, but its working now is a proverb and a byword of contempt, and it is the great drawback to any real progress or real reform. "I said that these mandarins were unsalaried," Mr. Cornbay remarked; "but, to be precise, a governor of a province (as large, say, as New York state) gets about $5,000 a year, while a county magistrate gets not more than $100 a year. This being utterly inadequate, the rest is made up from taxes, public moneys, presents from parties at law, and 'squeeze' generally. Huge sums of money are thus in many cases unassessed. "A change must come over the whole mandarin system," continued Mr. Cernaby, "before China can really prosper. It will not matter how far the nation may adopt western methods; there will be no progress worth regard unless such a radical change is effected. Two things are essential before the world can look on a regenerated China. One is a new system, the other is moral force to work it. This is only another way of saying that the case of China is hopeless without a conquest of the empire by Christian principles. But let me say right here that the signs of the times are marvelously encouraging in the far east. Christianity is steadily honeycombing the whole fabric of Chinese civilization and heathenism. The missionaries are regarded to-day with quite another spirit than that displayed before the Boxer outbreak. A few years ago it was very difficult for a missionary to gain any contact with a viceroy, but for the last three years I have had the privilege of saying 3,000 words to the various Princes of the Provinces—vicerroys, governors, treasurers, judges—over 50 of them, seeing and talking with some of them week by week, on subjects connected with Christian civilization, international harmony and the supreme lordship of Jesus Christ." Gravest Peril to the Church John R. Mott says the gravest perils threaten the church, if she neglects to press her present unparalleled advantage, in world-wide conquest, by a great forward movement. In the foreign field missionaries will be broken down by the very success that has come to them in the ingathering and opening of doors. Think of the demands, for example, made upon that pastor at Korea, of whom Dr. Howard Agnew Johnson wrote a couple of weeks ago, telling of his receiving over 1,000 members into his congregation last year! Mr. Mott says: "The sin of unfaithfulness, hypocrisy, the debasing influence of luxurious and selfish living, God's withholding His Spirit through our disobedience to the demands made by our opportunity. All this is ours and much more, if we fail to go forward." Mission to Jap and Chinese Students. The World's Student Christian federation proposes to send Dean E. I. Bosworth of Oberlin, to Japan for an evangelistic campaign among Chinese and Japanese students. Mr. Bosworth has rendered excellent service in this country at student gatherings and will represent the progressive scholarship of our country. A. Hard Task.

After July 1, 1907, the pay checks which are issued monthly from the Topeka postoffice to the rural mail carriers of Kansas will amount to about $120,000 or nearly one and one-half million dollars a year. An annual increase of about $280,000. Postmaster Rodgers has received word from the postoffice department at Washington that the new law increasing the wages paid the rural carriers would take effect July 1, and that he should, after that date, make out the pay checks at the increased amount of $000 for each carrier in the stugge who has a route of 25 miles or more. There are about 1,600 rural mail carriers in the state and but few of them have routes which are less than 25 miles in length. These carriers, there are about 40 of them, are to receive $864 annually. The total increase will make the annual pay roll about $1,440,000. The Only Pest. Walt Mason seems to be hitting his old gait. He has the following characteristic Kansas "pome": Kansas raises corn and sorghum and a hundred kinds of grain; and she raises hogs and cattle till the figures cause a path; and she raises cows and wildcats and she raises ducks and geese, and she often raises thunder when she ought to be at peace. You have heard of Kansas chickens which lay torty kinds of eggs; you have heard of Kansas horses, with long whiskers on their legs; you have heard of Kansas products till you simply cannot rest; and the blooming Kansas pest is the only Kansas pest. A Prolific Cow. James Jenson, of Center township, Marshall county, has a cow that must have had a "hunch" of the coming high prices for stock cattle. However, she overdid the business. She gave birth to six calves at one "litter" recently but none of them lived. Last year she brought forth three and the year before that the same number, while three years ago her first venture was twins. Is there any other cow in the world that has a record of fourteen calves in three years? Neobesho Brick Go to Old Mexico. Neodesino Brick Go to Old Mexico. Mr. Balloon manager of the brick plant at Bluff City, whose headquarters are Neodesha, has just received an order for several car loads of brick to be shipped to Cananea, Mexico, to build a bank. The buff brick are much in demand and are shipped frequently to points in New Mexico and Arizona, which accounts for the Mexico order. Kelly Case Continued. Under an agreement the case of the state against ex-Treasurer T. T. Kelly was continued indefinitely by the supreme court. It will go to the head of the docket and nothing more will be heard of it for some time. This suit is the one appealed from the district court of Shawnee county and involves the alleged shortage of $8,000 on Oklahoma warrants. A Crumb of Comfort. There are thirteen bankers and no editors in the Kansas penitentiary. This may tend to comfort an editor the next time the bank refuses to allow an extension on his note. Storkman a Suicide. Peter Johnson, an old settler in Formosa, committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid. He was a stock and grain dealer and owned much land there. Commencement at State Normal. The annual commencement exercises at the state normal school took place in Albert Taylor hall, 66 graduates receiving diplomas. Mors than half of the counties in the state are represented in the graduating class as were also the states of Michigan, Oklahoma, California and Indian territory. The commencement address was delivered by J. M. Greenwood, superintendent of schools of Kansas City, Mo. An address was also made by Hon. E. T. Fairechild, state superintendent of schools. The diplomas were presented by Superintendent A. H. Bushey, president of the board of refeents. Shipping Eggs to Mexico. The Wells Bros, Commercial company of Coffeville shipped a car load of eggs over the Santa Fe to Hermosillo, Old Mexico. In the car there were 500 cases of eggs and each case contained 30 dozen, making a total of 15,000 dozen eggs. The freight on the car from Coffeville to Hermosillo will cost $883, besides the cost of the ice on the road. Boil Pleague Kills Horses. - The disease known as anthrax, or *Silberian boo* plague, has appeared among the horses of Henry Foley, living 12 miles north of Atchison. Mr Foley has already lost a mule and a horse, and other animals are sick. It is said anthrax attacks everything in the animal kingdom, including man. Commencement at Westleyan. Five young women and two young men received their diplomas from the Kansas Wesleyan University at Salina. FAIR SEX IS CROWDING INTO EVERY OCCUPATION WASHINGTON.—The progress of the modern woman in the industrial world and how she is crowding into occupations hitherto monopolized by man is made known in a report issued by the government census bureau. The figures are based on the census returns of 1900 and show that even that long ago woman had invaded all but nine of the 303 occupations in which the bread winners of the United States were engaged. As to whether she has wedged her way into these nine occupations in which man was then dominant the report sheds no light. The returns show, among other things, that five women were employed as pilots. On steam railroads ten were employed as baggagemen, 31 as brakemen, seven as conductors, 45 as engineers and firemen, and 26 as switchmen, yardmen and flagmen, and 43 were carriage and hack drivers, six were ship carpenters, and two roofers and slaters. One hundred and eighty-five were returned as blacksmiths and 508 as machinists; eight were boilermakers, 31 charcoal, coke and lime burners, and 11 were well borers. Two women were also reported as "motormen." ARMY MULE OATS movement to pension the army mule and furnish him a home when his days of usefulness are over has been started, and if it receives the cooperation of humane societies a bill will be passed by the next congress prohibiting the sale of the obstructive "critters" owned by the government. Under present laws the army mule, along with all other government property, must be condemned when useless and sold to the highest bidder. Patriotic societies which have been organized to look after the welfare of veterans have been asked to join in the movement to provide at government expense quarters and feed for horses and mules which have served faithfully with Uncle Sam's army so as to save them from inhumane treatment. W. H. Lowder of Miles Camp, Spanish War Veterans, who is taking a leading part in the agitation in behalf of the friendless mule, at a meeting of his camp here, said: "It is a pitiful sight to see our old FARMERS TOLD HOW TO USE THE APPLE CROP THE plant industry bureau of the department of agriculture has decided that the apples of the country are not sufficiently utilized for food purposes and has issued a bulletin of advice to the farmers, telling them how to use the stock that is of too poor a grade for the general market. It pays special attention to the "evaporation" of apples as being particularly valuable in using up the fruit that might ordinarily go to waste. It points out that the portion of a fruit crop which is of too low grade to market in the ordinary way can often be made to pay at least a large part of the expense of maintaining the orchard or fruit plantation if it is converted into some other form or handled in some way other than that practiced with the better grades. The report details various methods of op- ARMY officers are poor horsemen, in the opinion of President Roosevelt, who has directed that they ride fifteen miles one day every other year at a gallop, trot, and a walk, to test their skill in horsemanship. President Roosevelt has written a letter on this subject to the secretary of war. The secretary of war has issued an order directing that the president's ideas be carried out. The letter has caused consternation in the army. It is as follows: "As I have personally observed some of the field officers were physically unable to ride even a few miles at an increased gait, and as I deem it essential that the field officers of the army should be at all times physically fit and able to perform the duties pertaining to their positions, especially in the field; and as I believe that such physical fitness can only be demon- A woman in a dress and hat. HELP WANTED MOTORMAN, PILOT ENGINEER PRIVATE WATCHMAN. BLACKSMITH. The number of divorced women returned by the census, the report says, is probably deficient, because the fact of divorce is not always admitted. But it is significant that of the number reported divorced, 55.3 per cent. were supporting themselves wholly or in part. The total number of women at work includes 11,777,966 native white women, whose parents also were natives; 1,090,744 native white women, one or both of whose parents were immigrants; $40,011 white women who were themselves immigrants, 1,119,621 negro women and 11,288 Indian and Mongolian women. The number of women at work more than doubled in the 20 years from 1880 to 1900, and there was a noticeable increase of bread winners among married women in 1900, as compared with 1890. Almost one-fourth of the total number of women at work were servants, 456,456 were farm laborers, 96.8 percent, of whom were from the Southern states, and 361,804 were negroes. There were 338,14 dressmakers, 327,206 teachers, 328,935 laundresses, 307,706 farmers, 231,458 textile mill operatives, and 146,929 housekeepers and stewardesses. TO RETIRE ARMY MULES ON A PENSION OF GRASS army horses and mules, after having seen service in foreign countries, sold to unscrupulous horse dealers. Every one of them are marked with the United States army service mark and it is a disgrace that they should be hitched up to scavenger wagons, ash and brick carts. "I have seen horses sold that have seen years of honorable service, and every soldier must feel the injustice of the treatment they are receiving, especially in a country like ours, where there are thousands of acres of land lying idle in Virginia, Texas and Western forts. Why couldn't these animals be allowed to spend the rest of their days at these places on the pension roll of Uncle Sam instead of being sold for the paltry sum of $15." Officials of the war department who have command of the army rules raise no objection to the suggestion, and say that if permitted by law it could be easily arranged to find comfortable home for the worn-out army mules. HOW TO SAVE THE APPLES BY UNKLE SAM erating the industry, of handling the waste, the laws on the subject, and the grading and storing of the products. "While the recent tendency in the apple industry," says Chief Galloway of the bureau, in the bulletin, "has apparently been to centralize fruit evaporation into distinct commercial establishments having considerable capacity and requiring capital to construct and equip, there still remain large regions in which there is considerable surplus of fruit that is unsuitable for packing and shipping in almost every crop year. Encouragement of evaporating, canning, cider making and other methods of utilization appears desirable, and of these evaporating is the one that is most applicable at present to a wide range of conditions, and therefore of most importance to the average farmer." PRESIDENT ORDERS HARD TEST FOR ARMY OFFICERS strated by actual physical tests, I desire that you give the necessary instructions to have the physical condition of all officers of the line who are to come up for examination or promotion to the grade of field officer actually tested for skill and endurance in riding, this in addition to the physical examination now required by law. "I further desire that an annual or biennial test of the physical condition and skill in horsemanship of all field officers of the line be made under the personal supervision of the several department commanders when making their annual inspections. "The tests should be thorough and should consist of a ride not less than 15 miles, at varying gaits adapted to the terrain, not less than ten miles of which shall be at the trot and gallop, approximately five miles at each, with such other exercises in equitation as may be deemed advisable." For Uniformity in Dead Blanks To secure uniformity in deed blanks of Missouri counties and correspondence in forms of circuit clerks of the state is the object of a convention of the recorders and circuit clerks of the state, which has been called for July 8 in St. Louis by Recorder Clark Robinson and Circuit Clerk J. E. Boggs of Boone county. At present there is no uniformity between the warranty deeds and the trust deeds of the counties of Missouri. Deeds in one when transcribed in the records of another must be written in full and placed in a book apart from the home record. It entails much time and labor and inconvenience. It also is responsible for a considerable variance in fees in different counties. The same can be said of blanks used by circuit clerks. The plan is to ask the recorders and circuit clerks to appoint committees to draft statutes to be present at the next legislature, authorizing uniformity as to deeds and fees. This Woman No Mollycoddle Miss Grace Walkup, who resides in the vicinity of Manila, heard a commotion in a chicken house near her home recently and started an investigation to ascertain the cause of the squawking and cackling of the fowls. As she approached the hennery a large gray wolf dashed out of the chicken house door and made for a patch of brush 100 yards away. Miss Walkup who is something of a spinner herself, picked up a stick of wood and followed the wolf into the tall brush. The wolf for some unknown reason doubled up on its trail and came racing towards Miss Walkup, who braced herself for the encounter and with a single blow of the club on the wolf's head brought it down. Then the brave young woman, to make sure that the chicken thief would be past recovering, crushed in its skull with repeated blows of the club. To Make the Bee's Healthy. N. E. Darby of Springfield has been appointed state bee inspector by the state board of agriculture. The State Bee Keepers' association obtained the passage of a law at the last session of the legislature creating the office of a state inspector whose duty it is to visit different parts of the state and inspect bees to determine whether contagious diseases exist. The bee keepers have been having some trouble on account of diseases among bees. Should Have Been Arrested. A blind man walked into the office of the Lexington News the other day and ordered some cards printed. The cards set forth that he was blind, an orphan and generally miserable. When the cards were ready the sightless one pulled out a roll of bills that would make Rockefeller ashamed of himself and, glancing at one of the cards, remarked "that's a pretty nice looking job!" Killed by a Fall. In trying to stop a horse from running away Fred J. Wilson fell from his carriage at Kirksville and received injuries from which he died.

Miss Roxie Kelly, the oldest native citizen of Columbia died, recently at the age of 82 years. The longest period that she was ever away from Columbia was for a month's visit when she was a child. She has seen the growth of the place from a little village in the woods to the present town of 10,000. Her father, John Kelly, was the first sheriff of Boone county. She had four brothers and three sisters, all of whom are dead. She was once lost in the woods where the home of Col. R. B. Price now stands in the most thickly populated part of town. Dentists. Elect Officers. Dr. J. W. Hull of Kansas City was elected president of the Missouri state Dental association at its convention at Kansas City. Dr. J. B. McBride of Springfield was elected first vice president; Dr. H. H. Sullivan of Kansas City, secretary; Dr. E. P. Dameron of St. Louis, corresponding secretary and Dr. J. T. Fry of Moberly, treasurer. St. Louis was selected as the next meeting place of the convention. No Excuse for This. A Chillicothe youth 22 years old applied to the county recorder at Princeton for a license to marry a girl of that town. The groom could not write him name and was compelled to make his mark. Such a signature requires a witness and a brother of the bride was called upon to add his name to the record in that capacity. He could not write either, and made a cross also. There was no one present to witness this signature so the recorder let it go at that. AFRAID OF PARALYSIS A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED BY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red Blood and Performs Wonders as a Tonic for the Nerves. Why are nervous people invariably pale people? The answer to that question explains why a remedy that acts on the blood can cure nervous troubles. It explains why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are also for nervous people. It is because of the intimate relation between the red corpuscles in the blood and the health of the nerves. The nervous system receives its nourishment through the blood. Let the blood become thin, weak and colorless and the nerves are starved—the victim is started on the road that leads to nervous wreck. Nervous people are pale people—but the pallor comes first. Enrich the blood and the nerves are stimulated and toned up to do their part of the work of the body. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make red blood and transform nervous, irritable, ailing people into strong, energetic, forceful men and women. Mrs. Harriet E. Porter, of 20 Liberty avenue, South Medford, Mass, says: "I had never been well from childhood and a few years ago I began to have dizzy spells. At such times I could not walk straight. I was afraid of paralysis and was on the verge of nervous prostration. Then neuralgia set in and affected the side of my face. The pains in my forehead were excruciating and my heart pained me so that my doctor feared neuralgia of the heart. I tried several different kinds of treatment but they did me no good. "One day my son brought me some of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I found that they strengthened my nerves. I took several boxes and felt better in every way. There were no more dizzy attacks, the neuralgia left me and I have been a well woman ever since." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are invaluable in anemia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and fevers and in sick headaches, nervousness, neuralgia, and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. Our booklet "Nervous Disorders, a Method of Home Treatment" will be sent free on request to anyone interested. Write for it today. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenected, N. Y. PAT SET ONLY ONE LIMIT. Would Quit When He Was Done With All Things Earthly. A rich man out in the suburbs who owns a large place has among the many people employed to keep it in shape an Irishman of whom he is particularly fond on account of his unconscious wit, says Harper's Weekly. This Irishman is something of a hard drinker, and, as his income is limited, he is more particular as regards the quantity than the quality of his liquids. The other day the employer, who had been awaiting a good opportunity, remarked in a kind tone, as the closing sentence of a friendly lecture: "Now, Pat, how long do you think you can keep on drinking this cheap whiskey?" To which Pat instantly replied: "All my life, if it doesn't kill me." ECZEMA COVERED BABY. Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw—Suffered Untold Misery—Perfect Cure By Cuticura Remedies. "My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. The eczema is something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I used many kinds of patent medicines, to no avail. A friend teased me to try Cuticura. At last I decided to try Cuticura when my boy was three years and four months old, having had eczema all that time and suffering untold misery. I began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better in two months; in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N. H., Oct. 24, 1905." Whole Outfit In Harmony. "You've seen that new dress of mine," said Miss Dowley, "now that I want to get a hat to match what would you suggest?" "Why not get a slouch?" remarked Miss Knox. That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money.

THE MASS MEETING AT HURSE'S CHURCH DENOUNCING THE RISING SON. A mass meeting was held at the St. Stephen's Baptist church last Sunday night for the purpose of denouncing the Rising Son, but it appeared more like a north end convention in the church of God on a Sunday night than a mass meeting to crush the word of truth. At 8:50 o'clock Rev Hurse, pastor read from the 18th chapter of St. Matt. A prayer was offered. Then Rev Hurse announced that the Hon. Nelson C. Crews was in the house and was endeavoring to get the speakers together. He also announced that Nick Childs of the Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas was present. He highly endorsed the Plaindealer, said it was the greatest negro paper in the West. It was at this juncture that Floyd Smith and the Hon. J. C. Chastine were called to the platform. At 9 o'clock Floyd made a short speech urging the negroes of the church to stand by their preacher. Rev Hurse then introduced J. C. Chastine and as heard by the reporter of the Son Chastine proved a boomerang in their midst. He spoke out for right as he has always done on every occasion. He said in part: I am indeed glad to be present on such an occasion. He further said if any man was guilty of wrong doing he should be punished. He said, too, that the men should let the women alone if they were not looking to or expecting to be humiliated. Again he said he had a beautiful wife and a daughter of 16 whom he thought was virtuous, and I defy any man to tool around them. Get a woman of your own and leave other women alone. There was no aplaus when he sat down as this was not what they had expected at St. Stephen's Church. His speech had a tendency to humilate and censure Hurse and uphold the Son than to defend his actions. Chastine had also said in the course of his speech that the church might split half in to on account of the trouble as he knew it did once before, at this Hurse sprang to his feet and explained, "No Sir! my church never did split. Chastine also said I was not looking through the key hole to see what the Rev. Hurse was doing in the room." At this remark there was a great roar of laughter. He said again! Now friends I have nothing to say against the Rising Son paper, as they have a right to print all kinds of news for the benefit of the public, but I will say that the greatest crime that could be committed by my people is that of hiding dirt, and the wrongs of other people. Mr. Chastine said he did no care to be called to St. Stephen's Church again to try Rev. Hurse for any of his wrongs. Rev. Hurse at this remark sprang to his feet again very indignant, and said, "I am no on trial as I am innocent of any crime. Some of the audience cried Amen, Thank God, and a few places you could bear hisses against Hurse Floyd Smith, President of the Hod Carriers Union was next introduced. His remarks were very short, asking the people to stand by Hurse as every man had a weakness, and that no one could live up to the ten commandments. It was plainly noticeable that not a single speaker attempted to defend Rev. Hurse as being innocent except Nelson <. Crews, but they all by their expressions admitted his guilt and urged the church to stand by him and throw around him the veil of sympathy and charity. Prof. I. M. Horton. Principal of Page School called on the members to uphold their preacher, though he were guilty, as he had proved himself a master and general of men. The Hon. Nelson C. Crews was next introduced. He was introduced by Rev. Hurse as the great hero of the west. His speech was very lengthy, lasting a few minutes shorter than an hour. He referred several times to the Edito rof the Rising Son as a black scoundrel, pimp and thief. He said he was now holding up a warrant for his arrest. At this several in the audience hissed him. The house was fairly crowded. Several times during Crews' speech, trying to prove his innocence, and prove the Editor a scoundrel. Rev. Hurse jumped up, leaping to his feet he cried in a frantic tone, "My blood is boiling! Oh, my blood is boiling." The Rising Son has been criticised by a few of Hurse's friends, but she has the support and sentiment of the entire public. After the meeting, and even while it was in progress, there was a mob demonstration outside against the stand of Nelson C. Crews. This was partly due to the speech of the Hon. J. C. Chastine, as it showed the whole meeting up in its true color and what the objects of the speakers was. Rev. R. P. Christian preached a 3-minute closing sermon, subject "Plead My'Cause, O God," Reporter, Rising Son. Dr. J. H. Jones, who formerly had his office at 805 Independence Ave., is now at 1307 East Eighteenth St. over Smith's Drug store.

Crews, Unthank and others met at Rev Hurse to devise some manner in which to curtail the liberty of the press. O! Temporal! O! Mores! From whence comes their power? Who has given these gentlemen the prerogative to act. We have always known that T. C. Unthank has been unfriendly toward the press, but Etu Crews? Water seeks its level. Well, this paper has at last reached its anchorage. We have at last succeeded in getting all the enemies of reform before us. Let the people know them. We are carrying our fight before the great body of Negroes. Let them decide the issue. Why are these men so much interested in the welfare of Hurse? Purely selfish motives, purely political motives. They have combined with him to feather their own nest. They know if he goes down it is their political knell that summons them like Macbeth to Duncan. "To heaven or to hell." Many and a time men have risen up to suppress the truth. But truth, that sweet emblem of God, when suppressed will rise again. Savonarola, the great Florentine, lived in a remarkable age. He was the great father of reform. His soul is in active sympathy with every emancipating idea of political and religious freedom. He was the incarnation of fervid living, and active plety and the fearless exposer of all shams, an uncompromising enemy to blended immorality, and corruption. He lived in an age of great scandalous vices. The great body of people were with him. A poor young man he began his fight against corruption and political usurpation. He began his great crusade against Lorenzo de Medici. With God as his pilot and the staunch support of the people he changed the entire political statutes of Florence. The people began to see their political degradation and they awoke to the occasion. So with the attempt to muzzle the press let the great fight of the people go on. Carry it right to the very door of the enemy. Rise up again. O, strong wave of reform! Sweep the city like a hurricane. Catch who you will or may. Come on with the truth! Let the people hear. Truth that two-edge dagger will reach its mark; like the sword of time, will cut everybody down who stands in the way of progress. Martin Luther, when he placed his famous edict upon the door of the Roman church, changed the time of the clock of history. He challenged the whole Roman church to refute him. All that represented corruption in the form of men were arrayed against him. Leo X, with all his papal power, backed by all the papal legates and cardinals, took up the fight. From whom did he get his strength? From God and the great army of common people. So let it be with The Rising Son. We are making our fight against corruption. We are not expecting much help from those high in authority. For many have joined forces with the leaders of corruption to suppress the publication of the Negro press. But let every low and humble Negro rally around us. Let us turn this old city over from top to bottom. Let a certain amount of cleanliness reign throughout its breadth and length. This is a quiet city of God. The Negroes therein should be devoted to common fellowship with each other. The great body of common people have taken hold. Let there come a change. The voice of the people is the voice of God. God says his name shall extend through out the entire domain of the universe. Then must such men as Crews, Unthank, Hurse and others stop an instrument of the public. O let us pray. Let our prayer be that God will descend among us. Let there be light. Let the great work go on. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION NOTES. Few persons outside of "the charmed circle can realize how many talented and capable Negro artists there are in this country. In nearly every city, town and hamlet, the race can boast of colored men and women who can do very creditable work in oil, pastel or on china, and the number of sculptors who are constantly designing original creations in plaster and bronze, is surprisingly large. In the Negro building will be found many choice specimens of the taste and skill of those budding artistic geniuses, and their productions will admirably supplement the paintings and sculpture of the more widely known masters of the craft, such as Miss Meta Vanux Warrick, of Philadelphia; Henry O. Tanner, of Paris, France; Miss Berina B. Lee, of Trenton, N. J.; Isasc Hathaway, of Lexington, Ky; Mrs. Lotie v. Wilson Moss, of Niles, Mich.; Mrs. J. E. Givens, of Louisville, Ky. and others of much promise. Visitors to the exposition of either race should not fail to give the art display in the Negro building a large share of their attention. DR. THEO. SMITH IS TO REMAIN. It is with pleasure that the Son can inform the people that Dr. Smith has decided to remain permanently with us. The pressure was to strong. The friends he had made were too reluctant about giving him up. It is believed that at one time the Son received as many as ten phone calls in a day inquiring as to his intention. Then again his many friends made formal visits to his three stores to induce him to give up the idea. We are glad to consult an anxious pub- lic concerning his welfare. There are some things he has done in this city which put him in the fore rank as a Negro promoter. He has always stood for the best for the Negro in the community. Clean living, regular habits and purely honest business methods have been his motto. Public approval has already began to make itself understood. Large crowds of Negroes visit his places to investigate his mode of dealing with the public. A reporter of the Son, in an interview with Dr. Smith learned the fact that he intends many other changes beneficial for our people which he does not desire to make public just yet. Since he has decided to stay among us let him go on with his good work toward helping the Negroes' status. Let him be backed by an encouraging public.

Norfolk, Va., May 25.—Within the past few weeks there seems to have been a complete revulsion of public feeling throughout the country with reference to the Negro Department of the Jamestown Exposition. Where the enterprise two months ago had but one friend in ten, it has now nine supporters to one opponent, and thousands of those who were luke warm and indifferent have now become enthusiastic champions of the cause and are voluntarily tendering their services toward insuring its success. This favorable change in sentiment has been brought about very largely through the open and candid methods pursued by the executive committee since it took charge in January last, and the frank and honest manner in which it has taken the people into its confidence. Each week the colored papers in every section of the land have carried comprehensive statements touching the plans and purposes of the management, and every step has been placed squarely before the public, to the end that all may know exactly the progress that is being made. It has been the invariable policy of the executive committee to treat the enterprise as a movement designed to serve the entire race—not as a private concern for their own pecuniary profit or personal aggrandizement. The people have come to know this and consequently are rallying heartily to their support. The Negro exhibit is rapidly being put in shape for inspection, and when the doors are finally opened, the display will be one of which every member of the race may justly feel proud. Referring to the cheerful state of mind existing among the 3,000 or more talented persons who are to have in the collection the best products of their brain and brawn, and calling attention to the unique fashion in which some are extending practical assistance, Chairman T. J. Calloway remarked to a press representative the other day: "The quickening public spirit of the race is being made manifest in a most gratifying way by a surprisingly large number of exhibitors who are sending in their good to the Negro department and declining to be reimbursed for the freight charges incidental to the shipment of the same. A case in point is that of Mr. H. Webster Ashe, an artist of Philadelphia, Pa., who sends on a special specimen of his work and in his letter of transmittal, adds: 'Please consider yourself under no obligations whatever, to me for freightage, as I would accept no return for such a slight expense. I am glad to be able to help you with your exhibit.' "Another letter of similar tenor and effect comes from Mrs. D. E. Williams, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who also refuses to take advantage of the guarantee of the Exposition company to pay all freight charges on exhibits. Mrs. Williams' generosity is all the more noteworthy when it is considered that she is 71 years old and at that advanced age has made by her own hands, a child's dress, which is a remarkably fine piece of expert needlework. "Incidents of this kind, multiplied many times over, are encouraging evidences of deep interest in this Negro exhibit, and denote an increasing tendency toward the development of a race pride and self-helpfulness that cannot fail to leaven the whole lump of Negro citizenship." NAMES SELECTED TO SERVE AS TRUSTEES FOR THE JEANES FUND FOR THE EDUCATION OF NEGROES IN THE SOUTH. PROCLAMATION. St.Louis, Mo., May 27, 1907. To all Grand Lodge Officers, Grand Representatives, Members of the Knights of Yythias and Courts of Calanthe, of the Grand Jurisdiction of Missouri—Greeting: Owing to the fact that the Knights of Tabor, under the provisions of their laws, are required to meet on the Fourth Tuesday in July, and the further fact that they had called their convention to meet in Fayette, Mo., prior to our having acted on the place of our next session, I deemed it best for all concerned to change the date of our Grand Lodge session from the Fourth Tuesday, to the Third Tuesday in July, knowing that Fayette could not accommodate two Grand Bodies the same week. Therefore, by the power vested in me as Grand Chancelor of the Jurisdiction of Missouri, I do hereby proclaim and ordain that the 23rd Annual Session of the Grand Lodge K. of P. is hereby called to meet in the city of Fayette, Mo., as the guest of Fayette Lodge No. 35. K. of P., on the 3rd Tuesday in July 1907, the same being the 16th day, for the purpose of transacting such business as shall properly come before it. Let all whom these presents concern govern themselves in accordance with the above. 1. I call your attention to Art. XI, Sect. 2. Grand Lodge Constitution, that, "Each subordinate Lodge shall pay to the Grand Lodge with semi-annual report, 25c per capita tax for each member in good standing." Sald tax must be paid at once to W. A Gunnell, G. K. of R. & S., P. O. Box 803, De Soto, Mo. Any lodge failing to comply with the above requirements will not be allowed a voice or a vote upon the floor of the Grand Lodge. 2. The Endowment tax for the term ending Sept. 30, is now due and must be forwarded to W. T. Aucell, Huntsville, Mo., July 1. Lodges falling to comply therewith, will be dealt with according to law. 3. All who anticipate attending the Grand Lodge & Grand Court, will communicate with B. F. Issacs, J. H. Diggs & H. L. Williams, Fayette, Mo., in order that arrangements may be made for their board and lodging. 4. Lodges desiring changes or amendments in the laws, etc., must submit same in writing through their representatives, properly signed as per requirements of law. 5. I have extensive correspondence with the Southwestern Bureau, and the Western Passenger Ass'n in an effort to secure rates, but owing to the fact that the two cents per mile rate passed by the recent State Legislature goes into effect about June 14, 1907, they were unable to make concessions. 6. The Grand Lodge will be in session from July 16 to 19 inclusive, or until all business that shall legally come before it shall be transacted. 7. All past Chancellors desiring the Grand Lodge degree must present credentials properly signed and sealed. Charges for the same will be $2.00. 8. Each subordinate lodge in this Jurisdiction shall be entitled to one representative in this Grand Lodge for the first 50 members or less, one for each additional 50 members. Such representatives must be Past Chancellors in good standing, with credentials properly signed by their respective lodges. 9. I would recommend that no lodge send a delegate who cannot remain until the session has completed its work and the Grand Lodge has adjourned. 10. I desire herein to call the special attention of the Chancellor Commanders of subordinate lodges to the fact, the Grand Lodge in session at Kansas City July 1906, made the payment of the Pythian Temple tax obligatory upon the lodges. (See p. 93, Official Proceedings 22nd Annual Session.) You are therefore instructed to enforce the collection of the same as the lodge will be held responsible to the Grand Lodge. All lodges who have not reported Pythian Temple tax on the blanks furnished sometime ago, are liable to suspension. 11. The report of the per capita tax, must correspond with the number of the Beneficiary Board. 12. Representatives from South East Missouri, and St. Louis are expected to leave for Fayette, Monday evening July 15th. For further information, call or write the Grand Chancelor at Pythalan Temple Building 3137 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo. 13. Representatives from lodges who have deceased members since the last session, will bring with them a written eulogy and present same to the chairman of the Committee on Memorials. 14. The 4th quarterly meeting of the Beneficiary Board will be held in the city of Fayette, Mo., July 16, 1907. Any matters requiring the attention of the board should be forwarded to the Secretary, W. T. Ancell, at Huntsville, Mo., by July 1, 1907. 15. The formal opening of the Grand Lodge will be postponed to Tuesday evening, July 16, at 8 p. m. at the Grand Opera House, and all Grand Lodge officers and Representatives will assemble Tuesday a. m., July 16, to go into official session.

The men on the Rising Son don't desire any political jobs. Such being the case we shall endeavor to change this old political system of always giving the same men the same old political jobs. The white leader in the party should get wise and learn that the Negroes don't desire this same old gag rule in politics. Let this be understood by every one who reads this paper. First that this paper under its new management can back up anything that goes within its sheets. Financially, intellectually or otherwise. So don't be too confident of your power of resistance. Wise and powerful men know their weakness and limit. Weak and foolish men know neither.
