Sedalia Times

The Sedalia Times. Missouri State Fair, Sedalia, AUGUST17 to 22 1903. VOLUMN IX No 46 Missouri CORNER STONE LAID. At The Free Baptist Chnrch The Free Baptist corner stone laying and rally July 18 and 19 was a success except the part that Hawkins Lodge No. 44 communicated through their honorable secretary, Mr. Charley Holiday, at that time. His communication to me was that if I would accept the Masons of Sedalia lay the stone on that day they would do it, which I did. It was my duty to petition one of the lodges, which I did and promised to pay all the expenses if they did. I wrote the petition and mailed it to the secretary of said lodge, but for some unknown reason they failed to carry out their part. The said lodge gave Mr Johnson permission to ask the grand master by telephone on the 16th inst to come and to grant them a dispensation, which he did, for I was with him at the time. The Queen City band furnished good music in the afternoon, which was nice and I think they are quite a band of gentlemen. The stone was laid late in the afternoon by the several pastors of the city, viz: Pevs. Davis, Alexander and Burns. Opening ceremony by Rev: Davis Address by Rev. Alexander and presentation of contents and wards which were placed in the stone by the pastor. Collection, $8.10. Rev. H. Green of Marshall, Mo. preached two powerful sermons. The one in the morning. "God in the midst of the church." In the afternoon, "Christian Integrity," which was good food for the christian and a blessing to the hearers. The names of those paying $1.00 are as follows; George Kaley, Harrison Anderson, Henry Gillmore, Martha Butler, Nellie Anderson, A L B Simpson, $2, Anna Flynn, Caroline Green, Nancy Williams, Alice Jones, Ethel Johnson, Amanda Bills, Patsy Williams, Mary Jackson Ruth jackson, Nellie Drake. Those paying 50 cents were Ed Simpson, Isaiah Johnson, Lottie Smith, Martha Finis. The largest amount solicited on cards was brought in by Mrs. Sallie Frisby, $12, who received the gold ring as a prize. The total amount taken in cards was $18. Collection Sunday, $49.00 total for both days $0.75. CRUMBS FROM CRUM For THE TIMES. Dr. Crum, according to one of our race journails, has lately given vent to his summed-up considerations of that particular phrase of the race problem known as mob violence and lynch law. After getting pretty well stocked and loaded with the powder of personal experience, the doctor while at Chicago some time ago, 'Went an' done exploded.' Dr. Crum, taking the stand, I presume that "Whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point is guilty of all" asserts that "when a man is guilty he has no rights." Although the race journals pass this over in silent assent, I for my part beg to object. If this was true when a negro stole a chicken I would say "Lynch him." When he—or she—stole an apple I would say "Kick him out of the garden and mob him," and when our gentle, refined, cultivated and shy-high white society fops made indecent remarks when passing negro ladies on the street even as they do in Missouri, I would be one of the first to lay violent hands on the cord separating him from the fish fry. But it happens that this assertion of Mr. Crum is rather crumby. Now, if I steal a watermelon I don't want to be hanged for murder, even though I smash the melon. The fact is a man is guilty to the extent that he is not right, and a man has rights to the extent that he is no wrong. As to lynching, Dr. Crum is substan tally right. The crime which was the original cause for lynching was in itself sufficient to arouse the savagery of a young god. While the "atrocious crime" is in some measure an excuse for outbursts of popular indignation, there of it that can not be winked at. Dr. Crum is not the SEDALIA MISSOURI. JULY 25 1903 air, Sedalia, AU first negro who has intimated that in extreme cases they would not so much object to lynching if the lynchers would only make a decent job of it. But a decent job means first of all going through the decent process of finding the guilty party. This means law. Should the law be quick and speedy or slow and tedious? If men with passions inflamed will lynch and mob an innocent man under the same conditions, jurors will find him guilty on the slightest pretext or no pretext at all. Drawing men on a sight draft isn't a good policy. Lately mob violence and lynch law have operated indiscriminately. Guilty and innocent alike have had to pay tribute to its awful rapacity. This has gone too far. It must be stopped. Education is necessary. But America has taught us more than one way of educating. Backed squarely against the wall of race [preservation the guilty and innocent mnst now be alike protected and given to the law either as hitherto they have been given to the flame of popular passion.

President Allen of Lincoln Institute returned from Boston Tuesday evening where he attended the N E M. and the faculty and teachers of the summer school tendered him an informal reception at the President's mansion. About 30 guests were present and a most enjoyable time was had. Many short talks were made, but the most interesting one was that by President Allen, in which he told of his trip to the N E A and the old historic city of Boston. Refreshments were served and Prof. J S Moten presided as toast master for the evening. THE MISSOURI STATE, FAIR Draft and Coach Horse Exhibit Will Interest All the People. The outlook for a great exhibit of horses at the State Fair, August 17-22, is so promising that the directors are compelled to largely extend their horse stables. One firm has already contracted for fifty-five stalls, another for thirty, and many other breeders and importers have signified their intention to make a display from their stables. In addition to these, the best animals in the hands of individual owners will be exhibited. Every class will be hotly contested. The best animals in America will be displayed. Many importations will be made from Europe this sum- --- --- mer, that were purchased with a view of adding to the reputation of their owners and wil be shown for the first time in this country at the State Fair. The display will embrace the best animals from both continents, and for high class animals will probably surpass any exhibition ever made in this country. NEGRO EDITORS MEET.

This paper sends out with it a magazine department which would do credit to any Negro journal. The front page contains a good cut of Prof. French's Teachers' Institute,—St. Joseph Spectator. The St. Joseph Spectator, a very spicy Negro paper, and one of our best exchanges, edited by Bro. W. H. Jones, strikes a strong and true blow at the Negro newspaper grafter who starts up sheets only for political purposes. He took a keen shot at the Wichita Grafter, of which we can only say that he is right along these lines, and that this graft racket is not only in the state of Kansas, but that there are a number of such grafters in Missouri, who start up a fake sheet to skin politicians and railroad companies. The Spectator's searchlight is right in the article, and it would be the proper thing for the old Negro papers which have stood for years to call the attention of the public to such grafting fakes as fast as they spring up. The effect of mob violence upon the Negro in the south is not what the lynchers anticipate. When a Negro is accused of crime and burned at the stake without the form of a trial or evidence of his guilt, his brethren are impressed with the helplessness of the judiciary and the fallacy of law. His respect for law and his hopes for justice are all dissipated. High ideals of morality and christian civilization cannot be forced upon men. It was within, the province of Constantine to drive the Saxons to the banks of the river and there give them their choice between Christianity and death, but that great sovereign soon saw that such discipline had a deplorable effect upon the moral nature of his soldiers. The basic principles of a government must be supported and when the citizens of a commonwealth have no respect or reverence for the majesty and dignity of the law the governmental fabric --- is in dauger. When we see labor strikes in which the great industries of our nation are hindered by the lawless few, when we see the prevalence of mob violence, the corruption and vice in the official household of the nation we may well read with apprehension the pessimistic prophecy of McCauley who, when writing of the future of America said, "As for America I appeal to the 20th century, either some Caesar or Nopoleon will grasp the reins of power with a strong hand or your republic will be as fearfully plundered and laid waste by barbarians inthe 20th century as was the Roman empire in the fifth, with the difference that the Huns and Vandals, who ravaged Rome came from without her borders, while your Huns and Vandals will be engendered within your own country and by your own institutions,"—Independent. A MONUMENT TO MISSOURI "The State of Missouri" is to be the significant title of the 600 page volume the Missouri World's Fair Commission is having prepared for distribution during the World's Fair at St. Louis. It will be of monumental value to Missouri. Fifty thousand dollars will be required for the purpose of putting into attractive shape the story of Missouri's history, resources and advantages, and Walter Williams, editor of the Columbia, Missouri, Herald, has immediate charge of the preparation. The book, which, from the printer's point of view will be a work of art, will contain a discussion of the social condition of the common wealth, a treatment of its more shaping events of history and a writing up of the agricultural, mining, live stock, commercial manufacturing and transportation interests, both from a technical and a layman standpoint. Chapters will also be devoted to church, school, literature and population. In a word it is the purpose of the editor to answer all possible questions of World's Fair visitors concerning the hostess state. There will be an edition of 300,000 copies E. H. SHAW, THE RAPIST. Mercy Still Holds Back the Arm of Justice. The people of Pettis county, without regard to color, are almost every day asking the question: "What are the courts going to do in the Shaw case?" Nobody is crying for blood, but the people demand justice. It was said that he was not ready for trial at the last two terms of the criminal court, bu. he has now had a year and not one single thing has been done as far as we know. Does he or his counsel think he can efface the enormity of the crime of which he is charged by allowing him to walk the streets a free man for a year? We believe the people want him tried—and tried soon. If there ever was reason for delay that reason has now disappeared. We have not a word to say as to his guilt or innocence. Some people think he will never be punished. We don't even care to make a guess as to that. What we want is that he be tried by the law. The people want to know what the evidence will be. We don't want to think that because he is a white man and the victim of his lust was a poor, little ignorant colored girl that he will quibble and procrastinate year in and out and finally on some legal technicality go free. We are Missourians. LET US SEE! The A. M. E. Chutch will hold its Quarterly meeting Sunday.

The girl w EN & VIE GIESCHEN & VIEBROCK FRIENRSHIP. a haughtily indifferent exterior. A PLATONIC FRIENRSHIP. The girl was glad when she could hurry home to Margaret, her roommate, and pour out her woes to a sympathetic ear. "City editors," she declared, "are brutes." She gave the assertion a triple punctuation by hurling her hat on the table, her jacket on the shirt waist box in the corner and her umbrella across the improvised refrigerator in which she and Margaret kept delicatessen dainties for cozy evening repasts. "Dear, dear!" murmured the ever-sympathetic Margaret. Not being acquainted with the species she could scarcely commit herself until further enlightened. "Brutes!" reiterated Blanche Dorsey, throwing herself recklessly upon the divan and thereby imperiling the yellow fluffiness of Margaret's latest sofa cushion. Margaret kept a worried eye on her treasure the while she moved about picking up the discarded wraps. She was accustomed to Blanche's ways, but cheerfully overlooked deficiencies, arguing in her kindly heart that newspaper women are not supposed to possess the housewifely instinct. "Tell me about it, dear,' she said soothingly. And Blanche told her. Margaret waxed duly indignant as she listened and joined the narrator in verbally belaboring the city editor. Naturally she looked for a continued report of his behavior when Blanche returned home the following day and was not a little astonished to be met with evasive replies. The next day it was the same, and when Margaret expressed astonishment Blanche only said: "I'm too disgusted and weary over it to care anything more about it." An unexpected assignment kept her late the next afternoon. "You look awfully tired, dear. It's a shame the way that monster of a city editor makes you work," cried the motherly Margaret. "He's not a monster!" came Blanche's quick retort. "It wasn't his fault at all." Margaret gasped. "Why I thought you said——" "I know it, but——" Blanche paused, blushing in the most unaccountably way. "He really wasn't to blame, you know. I was. Yes, really, I'm convinced of it. I don't wonder he lost patience with me. City editors have so much to annoy and distress MILK CHEESE MACHINE Miss Dorsey's lips tightened and a spark of resentment lit her eyes. Why need Mr. Marvin always use that tone in addressing her? She was thoroughly aware of her tardiness and had been on the point of mentioning it herself and apologizing. "There was a blockade," she replied with dignity. "I had to walk part way." The city editor said nothing. Instead he smiled—that cool, inexplicable, wholly exasperating smile which Miss Dorsey was learning to know so well. The man himself was quite as inexplicable as his smile. She had learned that, too. For two weeks—ever since the new city editor took charge—she had been striving conscientiously to perform her work in a manner satisfactory to him. That she had failed signally was only too apparent. Every day brought some fresh difficulty, some unexpected complication. The harder she tried to please him the surer she was to meet with obstacles which made the desired end impossible. Miss Dorsey despaired of understanding the why of it. That the situation demanded a psychic interpretation she was at last convinced. This morning she attacked her work in a reckless resentful spirit which resulted disastrously before the morning was half over. The story she was writing balked from the first, and when Mr. Merwin began calling for copy there was none forthcoming. "Copy .please, Miss Dorsey." "It isn't ready." "You have but ten minutes more. Please hurry. This must catch the next edition." Then the spark of perversity which had seized her ideas seized Miss Dorsey. In a flash she had flung down her pencil and let fly the impetuous words that leaped to her lips. "I can't do it in that time, Mr. Merwin—it's no use." "You mean that you refuse." "I mean that I can't do it." "Very well. I'll write it myself. I could have completed it in the time we have taken to argue the matter." The incident flung its baleful influence over the entire day. Matters culminated late that afternoon in a sarcastic verbal encounter wherein the city editor delivered himself freely of his opinions and Miss Dorsey cloaked her wounded feelings under All the latest styles and colors.

And for Mr. Merwin—he's just the kind dearest, most considerate—" The sentence lost itself in an inarticu- murmur. Margaret merely said "Oh!" we thoughtfully. Blanche was late again the na- afternoon. It was quite dusk wh she returned. Margaret gazing from the wind saw a young man take leave of her the door. "Mr. Merwin was good enough see me home," explained Blanche reply to the inquiring look that greet her. Then laughed. "He really could help it very well when I asked him "You asked him?" "It amounted to that." Blanche's eyes and cheeks were revelation. "You don't look at all tired tonight. I'm not, and I've worked hard day, too." During the weeks that follow Blanche developed an amazing interest in household matters. She esat sat up at night struggling with the creation of a sofa cushion until Margaret's instructions. It occupied a conspicuous place the divan when Mr. Merwin calls next evening. "There, now," remarked Blanche after he had departed, "is the sort man with whom a girl can enjoy purely platonic friendship. Don't think so, Margaret?" It was on the next evening the Blanche and Mr. Merwin attended the Press Club dance. Margaret awakened in the night, hear the fumbling of a latch keep the outer door. She slipped softly the open window. There was a wonderful radiance of moonlight. In doorway two figures made one show. "Blanche," murmured Merwin voice, "this beauty was made for Look at me—dearest! Oh. I dreamed of this happiness—" Margaret withdrew discreetly, much for platonic friendship," said, nodding wisely in the darkness. "I knew it would end this week. I knew it from the first."

From Infancy To Age MARIE HENRY Laxakola for Babies.—It is the best and most effective remedy for children BEST because it is pure and safe being made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never grips or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "Children like it and ask for it." BEST because its tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that it keeps the little ones in fine, hearty condition. It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent cathartics that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds, restlessness, loss of sleep and fevers it is invaluable. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and it will often relieve color by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. It will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature and induce sleep. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. "My baby is 4 months old and is teething. He was sick and I tried a good many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was inflammation of the bowels, and that I would never pull him through pains. When I saw he was getting worse, I was treated with colic very much, and I asked to scream when he had a touch of it. I did not know what it was to close my eyes day or night. I gave him a few drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I gave it to him a few times, and it worked like a charm, and he my忍耐 pretty much. I looked at him and saw him LAXAKOLA, and I thank it that we would give nothing else to their sick babies." MRS. MARY DALEY, 597 First Street, South Boston, Mass. Laxakola for Young Girls on the threshold of womanhood, has been invaluable. When they become pale and languid, face bloodless, eyes dull, head aching, feet and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their systems generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing. Give them LAXAKOLA; its gentle bowel action to cleanse, and its tonic properties to build up the system, will show immediate and most beneficial results. It acts promptly, surely but gently on the bowels, and while stimulating the liver to increased activity, its tonic properties strengthen the nerves, renew vitality and restore color to the face and life and animation to the whole system. It is the only tonic laxative that strengthens and tones them up. Laxakola for Mothers.—It is particularly valuable and useful to women, especially mothers, as it is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic; while to nursing mothers, worn out with the care of infants and whose systems therefore are particularly susceptible to disease, LAXAKOLA directly appeals. It clears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens the appetite, removes muddy and blotched condition of the skin and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing the cause. To women suffering from chronic constipation, head-aches, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia, LAXAKOLA will invariably bring relief and a positive and permanent cure. What Mrs. Kun, Phu, K. Palatine, G, Oy, 185, says about LAXAKOLA. "March 11, 1901. Received your free sample it has done so much good, sent me a 50c. bottle." March 28, "Bottle came, did me a lot of good, draggled here don't keep it, so enclosed is 50c. please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good I want another at once." April 6th, "Enclosed is 50c. for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has done me much good." Laxakola for Old Folks.-In the Autumn and Winter of Life, when the various organs through long years of action have become more or less sluggish, it becomes necessary to stimulate them by some remedy best adapted to that purpose. So long as the stomach and bowels are doing their work properly and the liver and kidneys are active and strong, your food is assimilated properly, your blood is kept pure and rich, and your nerves are strong. The feeling of nervousness, general weakness and debility means that the whole system is run down and needs a general toning up. That LAXAKOLA DOES IT, has been proved beyond all question. Its gentle warming, soothing action on the bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to increased activity, cleanses the blood, quickens the circulation, and puts the whole system in a condition of health and enables it to ward off disease, while its tonic properties tone up the system and keep it healthy. Laxakola Does It. Blotched, sallow, unwholesome and muddy skin, with its consequent mortification, often leading to morbid seclusion and aversion. The most severe form of the blood is bad. The only way to clear the complexion and restore it to its normal healthy, velvety condition is to clean out the entire system, remove the bacteria, and laxate.

LAXAKOLA is a gentle and mild use during all conditions of the body, and is whenever their peculiar and delicate requirements require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic, and is invaluable in assisting to relieve obstructions which otherwise would lead to more or less severe pain or illness.

To Be Cured of Constipation People who suffer from habitual constipation with all its attendant lilies, clogged stomach and bowels, sluggish liver, heartburn, indigestion, and thin and impure blood, are too apt to believe that the only remedy is violent purgatives. Such cathartics can leave the stomach inflamed and enfeebled the constipation and the other symptoms, but the sufferer ultimately grows stronger, the blood without pain or gripping, cleanses the stomach, sharpens the appetite, stimulates the liver, strengthens the nerves, and purifies the blood, while its marvelous tonic properties tone up the entire system and keep it healthy.
