The civil war between the north and south in 1861 to 1865 meant freedom and liberey of the Negro, and a right was given him by blood should never be taken away by political shrewdness and chicanry. The Negro of worth and intelligence should be considered by the white people of this country upon all conditions, and it is not necessary that the question of social equality should be engendered in the great race problem. the political liberty of a citizen consists in the tranquility of the mind arising from the opinion each person has of his safety. In order to have the liberty it is requisite that the government be so constituted that one man need not be afraid of another. Where there is no law there is no freedom and every good man ought to observe the laws of his country and to proform them. In every human society there is an effort which continually tends to confer on one part of the height of power and happiness and to reduce the other to the extreme weakness and misery. The intention of good laws is to oppose this effect and to diffuse their influence universally and equally. Every man who is a free agent in a free state ought to be concerned in his own government and the legislative powers should reside in the whole body of the people or their representatives, aside from the enjoyment of liberty, even its support and preservation, consists in every man being allowed to speak his thoughts, reveal his sentiments and exercise his liberty. "A government must perish, if there is not that vital spirit in the people which alone can nourish, sustain and direct all its movement America, free happy and enlightened as she is must rest the preservation of her rights and liberties upon the virtue, independence jus, tice and sagacity of the people." If either fail the republic is gone. Its shadow may remain with all its pomp. granduer and trickery of government, but its vital power will have depasted. When the best talents are driven from office by intrigue on corrmptron, or the still more unrulentine prosecution of the partyf legislation ceases to be national. JEFFERSON CJTY A bill has been psepared and is to be introduced at an early date in the legislature, which if it becomes a law will prevent the employment of all white teachers and janitos at Lincoln Institute and is also aimed the monopoly, certain merchants are said to have In furnishing supplies for the school. The chief feature of the proposed measure, however, is that it will require that all teachers and employees of the school shall be colored persons. Some of the Missouri statemen have been humiliated at the spectacle of white men performing mental tasks about the school for colored people. The superintendent of the industrial department, John H. Bredeman: his assistance W. R. Menteer and four janitors are white.

COLEMAN FOR SCHOOL SUPERENTENDENT—What the press has to say about him. We are pleased to present to our many colored readers the name of Prof, G. L. Coleman, who is a candidate for re-election of Schoo Superentendent, at the April election. Prof. Coleman was elected to this office two years ago and has served the people as a non-partizan and a genuine Superintendent during his term, giving them only prompt and the best service at all alth. He is well known to the is in this county, and is recoggy everyone as a gentleman lauch leader in the educa- circles. During his term important office he has so tated the affairs as to receive he highest compliments from all who are interested in good schools and good teachers. He has dealt fairly with colored people in every respect, and he has a large number of friends among them. He is entitled to this oifice for the second term, and if record, and qualifications amount to anything he will be returned by a big vote. PHILIPPINES FOR THE NEGROES. Another heaven of rest (?) has been discovered for the American Negro and coincidently the settlement of the Negro question in America. The long-standing only solution of the Negro problem, namely, the settlement of Africa, has given way to new scheme introduced by old Senator Morgan of Alabama. Really, the amount of brain tissue expended by many of our leading men in devising scheme to dispose of the American Negro would speak well for them, if it were not utilized in propounding such erratic ideas. Senator Morgan has even gone far as to drnwthe attention of President Roosvelt to his proposed emigration of Negroes to the Phillip pines with the result, it is said, that the President haa sent Thomas Portune as an envoy to investigate conditions there. The Negro seems to exist merely as a thorn in the flesh of American citizens. Bright futures have been presented for those of the race weo settle in Africa, the latest, however, is the Philippines. If the American Negro is wise he will remain in the land of his birth. If he acknowledges himself incapable of sustaining the oppression he receives here; when this country has been settled for him, what will be his fate when transported to a country in which the only object is the struggle for life $4 TO $8 A day guaranteed to every person sending their name and address to Scott's Remedy Co. address to Scott's Remedy Co, P.

Citizens ticket for the election next spring of the four or five aldermen. During the past two years our city has been carefully and successfully managed, and have used such econemy that it is today in a better financial state than it has been for years. The citizens has not been anoised by tie votes in the council by stubben contrary councilmen, nor has the taxpayers suffered and hardship to furtherth e advantage of anyone on account of his political following. as a whole the TIMES has only good words to say in regards to the work of our present council, so far as their work is concern. We do not want to make anyone think that we are endorsing a Citizen ticket as it was a st year, we never did, and never will. But another election will soon be on, and some of them who will be o candidates for re-election seems to think that their only hope to get back in their chairs is by such ticket as the one last year. A citizens tickes made up by the citizens would suit all the people, but a ticket made up by the two committees and a few bosses, and of ceseekers, and for them to say to the thousands of voters "here is your ticker. you must vote it or not vote at all," is to much for the people of this free country. It is true that our city council should be composed of our best men, and it should compose of men who are not afraid to take his chance in a mass meeting or on a party ticket But they tell us that a "good" man don't want to go among the colored people and the common white people to get votes, and you will hear one say, if I run on a party I will have to buy up all the niggers and poor white folks. If a councilman buys his way into the council with his money, cigars, whiskey or groceries, he is not a fit subject for the place, and if he is above going among the poor people for their votes, who by their taxes must help to pay his salary and the running expense of the city he should be above getting on a so-called citizen ticket. If a man wants an honest office given to him by the will of whole people, he will not go into a ring deal, nor will he spend one years salary in buying votes, but he will come before the whole people on some party ticket or in a m meeting and make a clean honest campaign. $4,00 to $8,00 per day to any person sending their name and address to Scott's Remedy Co.

Bentz, of Lamonte, who is an endependent candidate for the office of Superintendent o Schools of Pettis county. Prof Benz is one of pettis county's own boys and one who has spent his life among Pettis county people. He is a bright and an intelligent young man and is well thought off by who know him, and is reconized by all as a perfect gentleman. He is fully qualified to fill every duty connected to this office with credit to himself and the intire people. He has an excellent state certificate which speaks louder than words for his ability and fitness for the office he now seeks. He ask the support of the colored people of this city and county for this important office, promelling the entire people a good, clean, honest and imparual [administration without regard to color, wealth or creed. It seems that each week there comes something good that President Roosevelt has done for our race, that it may look like flattery to write about him each week, but there has been two recent announcements that occurs to us does call fourth our strongest and best words of admiration and appreciation, namely, The appointment of Dr Crum to be Collector of Port at Charlestown, S, C. against the protestation of the white prejudiced people of that state, and for his firm stand by Mrs Cox in the Indianola, Miss. postoffice affair, and compelled those citizens to keep her or do without a postoffice. He woald not yield to their prejudiced whims, he would not deviate, he would not stultify that true high regard for his duty and tee obligation that he assumed when he took the oath to be president of all the people of the United States of America. Those are the real men that our race should with one accord support, defend and protect, and even die for if need be. Eace generation has but few such men, yet those few brave men that dare to do right will shine out more resplendant each year, like Wendell Phillips, Chas. Summers, Wm. Lord Garrison, Oliyer P. Lovejoy, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Roosevelt. Mr. President, so long as you as you are president do your full, hones and loyal duty, and the true noble loyal people, both North and South will praise you. Let qualification, honesty, integrity, pure manhood be the test and not the color, race or creed.—Bystander. All of the howls that come up from the South about the appointment of Dr Crum, looks to a man up a tree like rot and demogouery. The whites of the South nursed at the breast of a blaek mamma, work wrth him and for him, even fight for him; yet when a nineteenth white Negro with an amhition inherited from them is appointed to an office cry out. "It is offense to the Southern white men" Where does the offense come in? The Negro cooks for them, nurses for them and drives for them with, instead of offense, the greatest of pleasure. There should come a time some day, woen the people who truly know and love the Negro would stop nonsense point ed where shall it be? Where he is in power or where he has no power? Experience as shown that places where a rade is strong there it is re cognized by municipal, state and ational government, where weak the contrary has been true. The Negroes of this country beliave if President Roosevelt, the man who climbed San Jaun Hill with the famous Negro Cavalry in the face of the roar cannon and the hail of shot, was brave then he would be brave enough to stand by a Negro Collector of Customs in any northern state if the same conditions prevail as in Charleston. Trve nature spoke in Roosevelt, real nature npyn, the plain did speak and he would not be toe man he is if it did not speak now—Spec tator.

Owfing to he shortness of space, we will not, however, at this time relate the funny story about the fnnniey individual. These people suffice it to say, subscribe for a Negro paper with wind, pay for it with wind. If the average Negro paper coeld subsist on windy talk every Negro editor would live in brick houses, have a 2000 page paper, hire 500 printers, use 100 presses, have 3001 domestic servants, and then have plenty of wind and talk to spare, But, fate has so decreed, that it takus the same kind of "sponulix" to run a Negro paper that it takes to run a white paper. There may have been a time in the ancient or medeavel days when a Negro paper did not have to use the hard cash to run a paper, but, sad as it may be that time is not now. Whenever you hear a fellow talk so much about his race pridism, ask him if he is a subscriber to his home Negro or any other Negro paper, if so, has he paid his subscription, theron hangs the key. As a rule editors can buy more with one's cash subscriber than he can with a thousand windy subscribere. Tsis rule may vary—but we don't think so. What think ye, my brother.

No. 17. The use of illustrations in advertising is becoming more and more general Who, what When BIG MINSTRELS Short Talks On Advertising By Charles Austin Bates. The use of illustrations in advertising is becoming more and more general and more and more intelligent. The English are great admirers of what they call at. The English are great admirers of what they call "blocks" in their advertising, and have always used more and better illustrations than Americans have. A The stiff, old, stereotyped wood cut, representing a watch, or a shoe, or a trunk, has been out of use with us only a few years. Such cuts are used even now in many places. I am not sure that Wanamaker originated the use of artistic outline cuts in advertising, but it is certain that the Wanamaker cuts have had a great influence on advertisement illustrating. Their chief merit lies in the fact that they show the article pictured as it looks in actual use. If the advertisement is about shoes, the picture is of a man pulling on an easy shoe, or of a dainty, stylish woman lifting a pretty and shapely foot. The illustrations are always suggestive and always well drawn. I may as well say here that I do not think much of the alleged humorous cuts that are used more or less all over the country—the ones which run to puns and "cuteness." They may attract attention, but attracting attention isn't the best an ad can do. A comic cut isn't convincing. It doesn't tell anything or prove anything, about the man or the goods advertised. I don't believe such ads sell goods. The English idea is very largely the use of some pretty picture, irrespective of its subject, or its relation to the thing advertised. The idea in this case also is to attract attention. I think it is wrong. A cut should be used merely to illustrate the advertisement, and not as the advertisement itself. Illustration should be subordinate. In ordinary, daily newspaper advertising the cut should be small. I like outline cuts about an inch to an inch and a half wide with reading matter set down one side. FINE FURNITURE, RUGS, FRAME PICTURES AND DRAPERIES. Generally speaking, I would not have more than three display lines in the ad, and more often only two—the head line and the name of the advertiser. And the name should be smaller than the head line. Copyright, Charles Austin Bates, New York. "A comic cut isn't convincing." CONCERNING POSTAGE STAMPS The two-pound rose-red of Rhodesia, 1890 issue, catalogues $30 in Sixtieth edition, is selling by London dealers at $11.50, and can be bought of the British South Africa company, in London, for face value—$9.74. A Melbourne paper announces that the £2 Victoria, long promised, has at last been issued. The stamp will not be used in appreciable quantities by the public, but it will, however, serve a useful purpose, when affixed to documents covering the issue of an equivalent number of circulars or papers, which will then only have to be branded: "Paid at Melbourne," instead of having stamps affixed to each one of them. While the descriptions of counterterfeits in the philatelic press have an admitted instructive value, yet it is known that they do not have so great an influence as is sometimes supposed. It seems that the average collector is not a stamp student who revels in the comparison of minute details—he does not take the time if he has it. He buys from reliable dealers and he feels safe in trusting to their knowledge. If at any time they are at fault and sell him a forgery, he knows that he will suffer no loss, but have his money or its equivalent refunded. The poor results attained in the printing of the new British stamps have led to the suggestion that the authorities in England make inquiries anew as to the relative merits and practicability of the two methods of stamp printing, surface and recess. Years ago, in England, the line engraving process was discarded in favor of typography, but the argument is now advanced that the successful application of steam printing to line-engraved plates (all the old British line-engraved stamps were hand-printed) has equalized the comparative cost of the process, and since the authorities seem to have given up the exclusive use of doubly fugitive colors—the washy purple and green—the arguments of the De La Rue, surface-printing, party have been sadly weakened. VARIOUS MATTERS. Georgia fruit growers are claiming that the peach crop of their state yields more money to the producers than does the cotton crop. The two American cities in which the number of colored inhabitants is increasing most largely are Washington and Philadelphia.

Alcohol is economically made from a number of products in Germany, and consequently the supply of it is very large. At a recent exhibition demonstrating the use of alcohol there were shown a number of motors, farming implements and similar things propelled by an alcohol flame. There were also lamps which displayed great efficiency. In a report recently made to Washington, Consul General Guenther writes from Frankfort that the chief of the fire department of Hanover has recently invented an alcohol firing apparatus, used in connection with an automobile fire engine, which is said to be very satisfactory in practice. The engine is driven to the scene of the fire by an alcohol motor, and while on the way the steam is gotten up by the new invention noted above so that the engine is ready for operation immediately on its arrival on the ground. Ordinarily it is necessary to keep the engine constantly fired in order that the steam supply may be immediately available. Otherwise much time is lost in getting up steam. BEAGLES WERE TINY DOGS. Diminutive Canines of Ancient Breed That Could Be Carried in a Glove. There is no question that the beagle is a very old breed. Early Roman accounts of England contain references to the beagle, even by name. Books published from about 1580 to 1610 describe several varieties of hounds, including "the little beagle which may be carried in a man's glove." That the miniature hound was extremely popular at the time was evident from Queen Elizabeth keeping a pack which were also said to be small enough to put in a glove, says the Country Life in America. This statement is frequently ridiculed when it is not understood that gloves of that period were not the present-day kind, but gauntlets reaching nearly to the elbow. What became of those glove beagles we may surmise from what we know of the results of later attempts to maintain packs of beagles of eight to ten inches high, the result after some years, being weak puppies that fall short of the fine qualities of the little hunting dog when they are grown up. UNCLE SAM AS MISSIONARY. How the Unclean Places in Cuba Were Renovated by the American Authorities. Cuban cities, like Havana and Santiago, previous to the Spanish war, were great breeders of pestilence, and menaces to the world. Now yellow fever and smallpox have been practically stamped out, and the death rate in the island has decreased one-half, and was lower in Havana last winter than in New York, says the Woman's Home Companion. In Havana an engineer corps instituted a general system of housecleaning. Every house in the city was cleaned from top to bottom under the supervision of American officers, whether the tenant was of high or low degree; remonstrances availed nothing. As many as 16,000 houses were treated in one month. The sewer sys- Benham—Your mother always drops in about mealtime.
