VOLUMN IX No 6 Why We Should Organize a Central Missouri League. During the past week the streets of Sedalta have been worked up on the organizing of a Central Missouri Negro Republican league. It has been talked up and advocated by its admirers, and on the other hand it has been criticised and hammered upon by others who were not in favor of it. It is a fact, and the Negroes of Sedalia and Central Missouri know it that the Negro state league for years has been a complete failure so far as the welfare of the negro is concerned it has only been a tool in the hands of a few clever tongued politicians of Kansas City, St. Joseph and St Louis, who always seek to control it or sell out for the purpose of securing a fat job. Never in in the history of the league has any Central Missouri Negro received anything of credit by the influence of the State league but have always been a good tool to put some negro from the towns mentioned into fat jobs. They have never been put far enough up to organize and feel the strength of the thousands of negroes in Central Missouri. We do not claim that it is not necessary that we have a Negro State league, but we do claim that it is to the interest of the negro voters of Central Missouri and that we perfect a league, taking in the counties of Pettis, Saline, Cooper, Moniteau, Morgan, Benton, Henry, Johnson, Lafayette, Howard, Miller, Cole and Boone, and thereby consolidate the negro forces and voters for one great purpose to redeem Missouri in 1904. When the call was issued issued from this place by a club of valliant workers for the party last Tuesday it was not to fix up any boddie scheme or sell out plan as has been said by our friends who were so bitterly opposed. We have but one object in view, and that is to unite the Negroes of Central Missouri for the purpose of playing our part in the republican ranks during the fall of 1804 for President Rocosevelt and the state nominees, and also to enable Central Missouri to be represented as well as Kansas City, St. Joseph and St Louis. We do not aim to fight or make war against these three large cities of our commonwealth, but we do want our share and a fair chance; Unthoughtful of the big excitement the convention was called for Aug. 4, which proved to be the wrong time on account of the mass of visitors who spent the day shaking hands and did not take time to attend. Yet there was a good number present ready for business, but as they wanted this league started right from the beginning no 'snep judgment was taken on those who did not nor could not attend, and the meeting was postponed. THE PLAN. The League is to be composed of a president, two vice presidents, secretary and assistants, treasurer, chaplain, two sergeants and executive board. This board is to be composed of one or two men from each county, whose duty it will be to organize clubs in every township in his county for the success of the league and the republican party. The league will also have field men lo go from place to place making public speeches in the interest of the league, the negroes of Missouri, and the republican party, also a literature committee to distribute literature in every corner of the leagues boundary. Can any fair minded man who is a republican from principle see anything wrong in such a league. Can you see any reason why you should not take an active part in such organization. No man or set of men have attempted to influence any Negro who is a republican from joining in and helping in this work. We expect you who are party lovers of good government and principle to join us in this work. It is not a one or two men fight for honors or boodle, but a true fight for Missouri and the Negroes of Central Missouri. Study LAW At Home instructions by mail, adapted to every one.

Editor Times : As I have heard that some of our colored politicians had much to say about my attempt to call some of the representative negroes of Central Nissouri together to organize a republican league, I feel it my duty to assure them that I never intended to slight anybody nor never had the least idea that any true republican would consider himself slighted or snubbed. I think all will agree with me that we need orgonization in politics and along other lines. But just how. where and when we should begin to organize was the question. Hence I did not issue the call until after I had been called upon and urged to do so by at least ten or a dozen of our representative colored citizens, but now that we have started I can see no reason why anyone who wants party success should find fault. As for myself I am ready at any time, day or night, here or else where, to do all I can to perfect such organization, and I wish to say further that it will make no difference to me whether the officers of the organization are my friends or not, just so they are good republicans and will stand by the party. I believe in a Central Missouri league, because when we were in the state league it mostly held its sessions in St. Louis, Kansas City, and the central counties were never fully represented. Just last week the State league met in Springfield and there was not a delegate from this county there. In fact I am informed that there was not a man there from any one of the eight counties embraced in our call. Now, Mr. Editor, while, I am still willing to do what I can to organize, and will gladly accept and consider the advice of any and all colored republicans in this city and county.

The Fourth of August celebration which was held here last Tues day was a big success, from early morn until about 2 oclock the visitors and country poured into the city until the streets and sestaurant were packed.

During the afternoon and excellent ball game was had between Hannible and Boonville teams, which resulted with a score 3 to 4 in favor of Hannible. Hon P. D.

The Queen City Concert Bann rendered excellent music for the occasion, and an enjoyable day was well spent. Elsewhere in this issue we have printed the account of the so-called Negro State League Convention, held at Springfield. Mo. Aug. 4th. From all reports the convention only composed of Silas Harris Leon Jordan, J. W. Baldwin and T. W. H. Williams. all of Kansas City, all elected themselves to the respective offices of president, secretary, treasurer and chairman of executive committee. The League or set of men met in our city one year ago last June, to organize the same concern, the Sedalians met and selected delegates and reception committee to give the deiagation of the League a cordial welcome, as we always do our visitors, but only this gang showed up, however we turned out with them and taken a part their convention in good faith, Elected its officers and etc. and prepared to do good work, but before the concern had been sixty days old, and without the knowledge of any of its officers outside of Kansas City, the league had been sold and the chairman a candidate for Congress man on a fake ticket against the regular republican nominee for Congress. Now they come forth at their convention in Springfield and endorses Mr Folk a democrat for governor, undee the head of a republican State League. We say down! with such leaders. Can the public any man or party workers from setting down upon such fake. Or can they blame Capt. Tandy, Capt. Campbell, Editor Wheeler, Walter Farmee. Editor Woods, and other representative Negroes of St Souis and Kansas City, as well as leaders in Boonville, St Joseph Tipton and Sedalia from fighting political "cat-hop" as that, which has did the party snd the Negroes of this great state more harm, then any other thing on earth. It is not no republican league, and should not be allowed to carried its name It should be the duty of every race organ and every individual in this state, to force such party or leaders down and out. They have feathered their nests to the disadvantage of the party and ruination of Missouri's brave and noble Negroes long enough. SUCCESSFUL QUARTER. The pastor of the A M E church, Rev.

His head had bothered him all the morning, and the dull, constant pain had made him irritable. "Well?" The demand was impatient. "I gave orders not to be disturbed. Your errand must have brooked no delay. You see that desk covered with papers? You do? Then I need not tell you that every moment is valuable. What do you want?" "Well, what of it?" the president broke in pettishly. The officer threw back his head. His eyes did not flinch beneath that discouraging stare. "He is a lad of 20, sir, a favorite with us all. Were he not deserving I should not plead for him. I am sure he has been made a tool. His offense—" "What was it?" "A spy, sir." "What?" Despite the throbbing in his head, the president pushed back his chair and brought his fist heavily down upon the desk. He regarded the officer with a contempt that was half pity. "You defend a spy? You, an officer? Affairs are at a pretty pass! Were the boy my own son he should die for that offense. It is a heinous crime of which he is accused—a heinous crime." "Surely sir, you would not punish a boy for a crime that it takes a man's brains to accomplish. The lad thought it his duty—duty at 20 is not what it is at 25, even. He only did what he considered right. All of us who have talked with him find him contagiously open-hearted. You would not blame a horse because its master drove it into forbidden grounds? I tell you, no more is this boy to blame." "You are soft hearted for a soldier," sneered the president. "The army would be a poor place were it made of such men as you." He paused angrily. "I am ill," he complained, turning to his work and ignoring the officer. "Sir." The president grudged a side glance. "Spare the boy's life one day—you will grant that much for his mother's sake. He is to be hanged at sunset—make it tomorrow." The great man reluctantly drew forward a sheet of paper. More to gain time than anything else, he scrawled his signature first. Then he looked up. "I will grant him one day Q C. Phone 361 Tomorrow at sunrise he must pay the penalty of his crime. And you—if you come to me again with such a plea your command will be taken by a stouter-hearted man. To plead for a spy! Any man shudders at the name of spy." "His name?" he asked. "He calls himself 'Champ.' That is the name by which he is known. With a gesture of disgust the president began to write. After another sentence the writer paused. "What is his right name?" For a moment the officer paused. The eyes of the two men met and searched each other. Suddenly the president sprang from his chair and took the other by the shoulders. "You don't mean—you can't mean—" he began. "It is the truth, sir. The spy is—" The officer uttered a spontaneous cry for help. The president had suffered a stroke of paralysis. In the commotion which followed, the officer seized the paper on the desk, thrust it into his pocket and hurried back to headquarters. At thought of the boy his heart sank—the boy whose blue eyes had never shed a tear, whose young lips had smiled bravely with the spectre staring him in the face. "What news?" The soldiers gathered about him as he threw himself down before the camp fire. Their faces fell at his silence. At last the captain spoke. "Better the small favor granted than nothing," he said, "and yet it was for his own good we pleaded. It would have not done to have told him it was his own son. If he has granted one day, at least the president's wife may have opportunity to bid her boy good-by. Had he known who the spy was, the president would not have granted that one don" gained that one day. The captain held out his hand for the envelope which the soldier drew from his coat. Each man present indulged in a momentary reverie, as the captain drew out the paper. They had sons of their own, some of them. A sudden sharp cry struck the silence—a cry followed by a long, low triumphant whistle. "Men," said the captain, "I tell you, after all, we are but puppets which play on our little string at the dictates of the Creator. Surely the president tried to do his duty, but his hand was stopped before he wrote the death warrant of his own son. See what the paper says." He passed it to the officer who had brought it. This is what he read: "The boy who calls himself 'Champ,' accused of being a spy and condemned to death, this day may be granted his life, but I condemn him to die t—" And the president's signature was underneath.

WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: D Gentlamen : — Being entirely, cured of deafness, to thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About a year ago, my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a new York paper, and ordered your treatment only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing has been entirely restored. I thank you very truly yours. F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, MD Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation.
