ROOSEVELT ON LYNCHING A Strong Protest Against the Rap idly Growing Evil. Mob violence is simply one form of anarchy. Men who have been guilty of a crime like rape or murder should be visited with swift and certain punishment. Every effort should be made under the law to expedite the proceedings of justice in such an awful crime. She slightest lack of vigor, either in denunciation of the crime or in bringing the criminal to justice is itself unpardonable. The very existence of the republic depends upon that orderly liberty under the law which is as incompatible with mob violence as with any form of despotism. Whoever, in any part of our country, has ever taken part in lawlessly putting to death a criminal by the dreadful torture of fire must forever after have the awful spectacle of his own handiwork seared into his brain and soul. He can never again be the same man, H. W, MEU CORDIALLY State Fai SEDALIA MISSOURI. AUGUST 15 1903 BAD BEHAVIOR. There is a great disposition on the part of our race to lay great stores upon the future of our race, and in so doing they overlook those things which are the surest pasports to racial success. We should not overlook the fact that upon the rising generation rests the future of our race. And when we give this matter careful consideration we must admit that the outlook could be more favorable. First we notice that a large number of our boys and girls are sadly in need of good manners. Their conduct on the street, in public places, especially in church is not only a disgrace to themselves but an unpleasant reflection upon their parents. We frequently meet young girls in their teens who in appearance would be ornaments to society, but on coming in contact with them we find them to be uncouth, illmannered and experts in the use of slang. They will stand in the presence of their mothers and use slang phrases with impunity, such as the following: "you are not so warm" or "you are not the only pebble on the beach" "you don't look like money to me" "you got to show me" "any time they think I suit they are away off" etc. And their parents seem to consider them witty girls and bright girls, but as a matter of fact it is disgraceful, vulgar and a reproach upon their parents. These same girls will go to church a half hour or so behind their parents and take a seat near the door. They are soon followed by a gang of hoodlums, and with no regard for their surroundings proceed to act in the most unbecoming manner. And while the preacher is pronouncing benediction they go filing out of the church like cattle. The parents of these boys and girls are responsible for their conduct, and it is only a matter of time until these hoodlum characteristics will react to the sorrow and remorse of their parents. This condition of affairs has grown to such an extent that a polite, well behaved and dignified boy or girl is a subject of comment among their acquaintances. If a boy or girl passes a priceieess jewel it is good manners. The parents should not condone this rowdyism by watching without interest and with apparent complaisance this hoodlum conduct on the part of their children. We have frequently noticed these girls rnd boys when in church during the hour of prayer they never think of bowing their heads but take advantage of the opportunity to make signs, flirt and engage in other ugly conduct. Then again it is a common sight to see girls of tender age walking leisurely along the street at night all alone looking in the show windows. Parents should not allow their girls on the streets at night unless they know where they were and with whom they were. It is in the care of these boys and girls that we must commence to solve the race problem. They should be taught to respect their parents and others; they should be taught to honor their homes for MISSOURI STATE FAIR, Aug. 17 to 22. in time they will be called upon to preside over homes of their own, and the health of a race, like that of an individual is safe only when the atmosphere of home life is untainted.-Independent.

J. Silas Harris, president of one of the Negro republican clubs of Missouri is for Folk for governor. Mr. Harris has been suspected of being on the Democratic side of the political fence before and that's why there are two Negro republican clubs in Missouri. We notice that some of the big papers want a Missourian for Vice president along with Roosevelt. The Kansas City Star thinks that if there is a good Missourian on the ticket like the two named for governor that the state a good chance in this state, or in the event that Folk is not elected that the state will be republican. E. B Scott, who cut and almost killed his wife here on the night of the 6th was captured in St. Louis. He was arraigned in Judge Roger's court, waived examination and was committed to jail in default of $5000 bond. Mrs. Scott who lies at the point of death at the home of Vest Witcher will use every effort to have him fent to the penitentiary if she gets well. If she dies Vest Witcher says he only wants Scott kept in jail two days, News evidently doesn't travel very fast through southern Missouri. A sewing machine agent stopped at a house down in that portion of the state recently, and after transacting his business brought up the subject of politics. "Who do you think will be nominated for governor?" he asked of a native. "John A. Lee," was the reply. "Lee? Why he is a self-confessed boodler." "The h—he is!" exclaimed the native.

Imagine the spectacle of Ben Tillman out here in educated Kansas trying to debate before one of our refined audiences. It is as amusing as a hippopotamus trying to give an exhibition on a pair of stilts.—Plain Dealer. 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 delagation 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 another thing on earth. It is not no republican leegue, 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.

A SOLDIER'S The president looked up from his writing as the door opened and closed. 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 to morrow." 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.

"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 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 "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.

Short Talks On Advertising ByCharles Austin Bates. How do you expect your advertising to pay unless you give it proper attention? You wouldn't plant seed in a garden and never look at it again. If you did, the chances are that it would never grow into the fruit-bearing stage of development. "You wouldn't plant seed in the garden and never go near it again." A shrewd advertiser said to me recently: "I like to advertise in papers which charge a good, stiff, extra rate for display and for the insertion of cuts. The fact that they do this prevents a good many people using them, and as a consequence, my ads are very much more prominent, for I always pay the extra price and use the cuts and display." Advertisements should never be prepared in a hurry. There ought to be some particular time set apart in each day, or each week, for the consideration of this question. Do not wait them, and as a consequence, my ads are very much more prominent, for I always pay the extra price and use the cuts and display." Advertisements should never be prepared in a hurry. There ought to be some particular time set apart in each day, or each week, for the consideration of this question. Do not wait until the last minute, and then write something hurriedly, run- s, and with almost the certainty of failing to get a ad advertisement in a good paper may possibly do some good—a good ad in a good paper will always pay. It isn't such a hard thing to write good ning the risk of making mistakes, and with almost the certainty of failing to get a really good announcement. A bad advertisement in a good paper may possibly do some good—a good ad in a good paper will always pay. It isn't such a hard thing to write good ads; it is mainly a question of taking time enough and giving the matter the requisite amount of thought. Do not say you haven't time, because this part of the business is just as important as any other. In one sense, it is more important, because without it the business cannot amount to very much.

That advertisement may have done some good, probably did; but to bring really adequate returns, advertising should be freshened by frequent changes of copy. I have recommended frequent changes to a man, who said: "Yes, but our newspaper charges us extra for composition if we change our ad oftener than once a week"—or once a month, as the case might be. That doesn't alter the case at all. The advertisement should be changed, and, if it costs a little more, it costs a little more, and that's all there is of it. It will pay to pay the additional charge. "Do not say you haven't the time." t is mainly a question of taking time enough and giving the matter the requisite amount of thought.
