Sedalia Weekly Conservator

Sedalia Weekly Conservator. J. H. H. We are with the present half-tone cuts of our recent Collegians of Geo. R. Smith College, Prof. P. T. Bowles, and President B. H. Hall A. B. No greater pleasure could be given to the Conservator than this, to speak of some of the manly attributes both of these young men possess. Our friend Prof. Bowles has been connected a student with our city and College for seven years. By his tenacity and grift he has fought his way to the front. His scholarship is evenly rounded and is strengthened by the greater earning obtained at the school of By Paul Laurence Dunbar Stannin' at de winder, Feelin' kind o' glum, Listenin' to de raindrops Play de kettle drum; Lookin' crost de medders Swimmin' lak a sea; Lawd 'a' mussy on us, What's de good o' me?

Political Appeals To Passion. The views of conservative Negros of washington on the race question have been formulated at a race conference between Rev. Dean Richmond Babbitt, of the church of Epiphany, Brooklyn, N. Y., and the following colored citizens: Rev. Francis Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Baptist church; Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard Uuiversity; Judson W. Lyons, register of the United States treasury; Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register ```markdown ``` SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23 1903. experience hence, we congratulate the Board of Education of Goliad, Tex: upon their wise selection.

Dancy, recorder of daeds of the District of Columbia. Dr. O. M. Atwood, Thomas R. Clark and Whitefield McKinley. Dr. Babbitt has devoted much time to the study of this question, and was chosen at the recent Chautauqua meeting to reply to the argument of John Temple Graves. The composite views expressed in signed opinions of these right colored leaders, and submitted to Dr. Babbitt, follow; "The spreading race prejudice is occasioned by appeal to race passion by politicians. The cure for the prejudice is the application of Christian morals and religion, and just execution of the laws. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution should be held intact. It is not the desire, wish or purpose of the Negros, as a race, to seek, maintain, emphasize or teach social equality with the whites as a consequence of equal political rights, and they urge strongly that the Negro's education should not be limited to industrial training. They believe that the number of crimes charged to the race had been grossly exaggerated by their enemies; that the real facts should be collected and published and that the clergy of their race should teach strongly against these crimes and against intemperance." They urged a thorough organization the race under capable and respected leaders and an appeal to the press and the moral and religious sentiment of the country, and especially the white clergy. They opposed the idea of a separate political party, A man found dead, near Tipton, hes life insurance made out to Bell Williams. See Chief Police White Graduate of St Louis College Has Pastorate of Colored Church. REVEALS FACT IN COURT Milwaukee, Wis., October 11. That Rev L. M. Fenwick, for twenty years a pastor in the African Methodist church, is a white man and a doctor of medicine, having degrees from the Barnes medical college at St. Louis and the electro-physics and electro-therapeutics institute of Indianapolis, was the discovery made in the police court yesterday, when he was forced to wear that he was white and not a negro. The story did not develop till today, when one of the court officer called the attention of one Mr. Fenwick's parishioners to the testimony in court Saturday. Now the fight against Mr. Fenwick which has developed threatens to force him out of the church. He declares, however, that he will not give up his pastorate without a fight, having as he declares abandoned the practice of medicine to work for the elevation of the blacks, among whom he has been making his home. Though of a fair complexion, his parishioners believed him one their race. LYNCHINGS FEWER SAYS WASHINGTON Paris. October 10. Booker Washington, who is visiting Paris, and who is registered at a hotel under the nom de plume of "Jones," said to-day: "I have had a delightful holiday. The reporters have not detected me under the name of Jones. The negro problem in the United States is being solved not by politics, but by education and industry in America. We can discuss everything calmly except politics. Lynchings are becoming fewer in the South. This year only two in Alabama. The influence of the press and leading men of the country has been a powerful help in decreasing lynching. Soon they will disappear altogether. Remove the cause and effect will not follow. The cause can be removed by education. The school term needs to be lengthened. We need better teachers and better school-houses. Some thing is being done, but we ought to move faster. In the public schools, and even in primary schools, elementary industry ought to be taught. "I have been through Normandy studying the system of butter making in the hope of finding new ideas for our dairy at Tuskegee, but I am not sure Normandy can teach us anything. The general education board has been doing good work among our people. All the teachers of colored schools ought to get such training as we give at Tuskegee and Hampton. Technical schools are good for the black people. "Our students do not experience difficulties at the Northern universities, but we are not rich enough to send many students to them. Wewant university-trained men for proffessors if we can get them. There is lucrative employment in the South for every colored student who graduates at each trade. It is not so in the North. There colored men are debarred from many trades. Here, in France, I do not find prejudice against colored men. In my country we have solved problems bigger than the negro question. I will continue preaching education, education, education. Intelligent people know this and are generous to us." Booker Washington. Northern Negro Wind-Jamers Assisting Southern Whites in Fight Against Negro. The attack on President Baker T. Washington by members of his own race are just as unreasonable and mean as those made by southern white people. That Mr. Washington has done a great and good work, in the way of training the hand and mind of the young Negro of the south no one can dispute. No one could have adopted other methods than those adapted by Mr. Washington, and done one-third the good work. The thing that the Negro needs today on the south is moral, mental and mechanical training. The southern white people are opposed to this schooling of the Negro, and every effort put forth by Mr. Washington is watched with the prejudiced eye of these Negro haters. So, in order to succeed in helping the Negro to the place where he can help himself, the successful teacher must seem to the southern white people to be teaching just the opposite. It is one thing for a lot Negro wind-jammers to get together in Chicago and Boston and condemn Mr Washington's school policy, and it is another thing to go south and help lift the colored youth out of his helpless, immoral and benighted degradation to which southern slavery sank us. Scores of good men and women have laid down their lives and accomplished nothing in trying to carry out the Boston and Chicago idea of educating the colored youths of the south. If Boston, Chicago, St. Louis and other places where these little fellows live who are condemning the school policy of Mr. Washington had a few Washington's, fewer young Negro dudes, loafers and crap shooters; less good time colored women and more good house-wives; more Negro men in business, fewer patrons of the white mans dance-halls and good-time parks, and last but hot least, fewer colored wind-jammers to condemn the work of men like Booker T. Washington. Some of them say that Mr. Washington talks to much. He's got to talk. How on earth can he get money to build up and carry on his work unless he talks? In order to get the means to carry on his work he must say something to please the white people of the north and give no offence to the southern whites. Mr. Washington's idea and work is to train the mind and hand of the young Negro. And having done this, he thinks they will assuredly have sense enough to be brave men and women, able to take care of themselves, and to demand self respect. NO.25 IDEA OF ILLINOIS METHODISTS A memorial to congress, presented several days ago by Dr. C. L. Parks, of Atlanta, Ga., recommending the education of the colored people of the South by the United States Government, has been adopted by the Rock River Conference of the Methodist church, in session at Aurora, Ill. Dr. Parks desires to put the Negro on the same plane with the Indian, making him a ward of the government. "the legal difficulties which may arise, he believes, can be surmounted by a carefully planned campaign and he sees in the consummation of his plan a solution of the Negro problem. A committee of seven is named in the memorial to convey the resolutions to Congress. LESSON IN SOUTHERN IDEALS In Donalsville a white man brutally murders his Negro paramour, says an exchange, because she had quit him. In Shreveport, a white man attempts to kill another white man whom he finds in the house with his Negro courtesan, and is shot himself. In Alexandria, a Negro forces a white man to apologize to his wife whom he had insulted and the Negro is placedin jail and threats to lynch him are being made. Solve the problem and come and get the chrome. Cormack and the Constitution. Senator E. W. Carmack in an interview several days ago, said when asked about the publication that he would make caneeffort to secure the repeal of the Fiftkenth amenmdent: "I am sorry that the impression has been created that I am preparing to agitate this question in congress. "A reporter was discussing with me an article I had written on the race question. He asked me if I intended to introduce a measure for the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment. I replied that I had not thouf of doing so, but added that I might do it just to bring on a debate. That was all." "I confess that I have a great curiosity to hear the Fifteenth amendment defended by the Republican leaders who now take the position that the general principles of the Declaration of Independence are applicable only to white and not to colored men, and who hold that the brown man in the Philippines has no right that the white man is bound to respect. "At the same time I know that any progress toward the repeal of the fifteenth amendment depends on it not being made a partisan or sectional question. To make it such would be to check at once a healthy growth of public snetiment. It may well be that any direct effort on the part of a southern man for its repeal would result in making this a sectional or party question. This must be avoided.

How be "down to date" in everything? By reading The SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSERVATOR of course. Geo. R. Smith college students are 'invading the enemy's country.' One in Alabama and another in Texas. Both bearing the torch of wisdom to light up the pathway of comming generations. ```markdown ``` Will it be necessary for the Civil or Criminal law to take in hand some of those ill-mannered bench-fillers, that frequent our places of public worship? If such is necessary, let the officers and pastors have no hesitancy, in seeing that such persons are severely handled. Too long has this element of rowdyism been allowed to desecrate our churches. We wonder what the wary Folk and Grand Juries—Federal and state—will uncover next. This thing of "sucking eggs and hiding the shells" has become a serious matter. Well, it certainly verifies Lincoln's aphorism about "You can fool a part of the people all the time; you can fool all the people part of the time, but, you can not fool all the people all the time." --- UNCLE SAM has had another successful diplomatic "bout" with Johnny Bull. By the recent findings of the Anglo-American Commission, at London, the United States has gained about all the points at issue. This, too, is another triumph of arbitration. The American policy of fair-play and honesty is having no small degree of influence over the World's policies. Our conservation, energy and push will ultimately transcend the old world powers. WHEN you see things in your community that need rectifying, and you are, moreover, confident of your ability to bring about such salutory result, pray tell us why you donot put forth the effort toward the rectification of such evils? Is it because you lack moral stamina? If so, why don't you put yourself to the task of acquiring this essential? Give more time to an honest endeavor to obtain elements of strength, that you may be more servicable than an old bundle of grunts and complaints. Talk, gossipy talk, fosters nor gives birth to any great and benificent enterprise. It takes common sense applied with energy and push to bring about noble results. The game of 'freeze-out' will soon begin. Premonitions of its shilly advent are seen upon every Sedalia Weekly Conservator. EDITOR MANAGE hand. More and more this question propounds itself to us: What have you done with your summer's earnings? Then too the story of the ant and grasshopper will often suggest a series of moral ideas. And we fear that many who have wasted their hard earned dollars in "riotious living" will be forced to dance as did the grasshopper. Just to think of the coal barons whose greed we shall have to appease. For the tighter old Borius draws his hand, the more avaricious they become. Well, this much consolation to be gained by some—That if the game of 'freeze-out' wins, they will enjoy (unless they mend their ways) the comforts of a warmer climate, where the chilly breezes ne'er enter. ```markdown ``` THE CONSERVATOR wishes to announce to its readers and advertisers that its circulation is steadily growing. Indeed we feel that its growth has been phenomenal. At the date of our first issue we had two cash subscribers—C. H. Lewis and William Hodges. At this date we reach more than 700 homes in Central Missouri. We are also gratified to announce that at the time of our beginning, we were using leased materials, etc. But now we are equipped in our office, press, type and everything complete. It is a pleasure to us to state that all the mechanical and editorial work is performed by Negro youth. These facts are set forth to you, dear reader, that you may see what we have already accomplished and that we are anxious to have your continued allegiance to our cause—worthy because we are pledged to the purity of the home, the sanctity of the ballot, and the vindication of our racial and National honor. Our aim is to reach a thousand homes before January 1st, 1904. Will you assit by speaking of the good points that you can not help seeing, while perusing the columns of the Sedalia WEEKLY CONSERVATOR? The South posses admirable newspapers. One of them is not the "Atlanta News." It grieves us to observe the passion of this extraordinary fire-eater. Its fury is monstrous, prodigious, incredible. It ramps, as one without the guiding power of brains. Crossing a fool in his folly is "nuts" compared to reasoning with the "Atlanta News." It lumps together 'Collier's Weekly' and David Bennet Hill. Mr. Hill it accuses of ice water in the veins, celibacy, selfishness, and forty years at law, while the editor of Cellier's is made responsible for crimes ranging from presumption to civil war. Has the editor of the "Atlanta News" ever tried a course in some rustic sanitarium? He might come out in condition, when the wind is southerly, to tell a hawk from a hernshaw. This gentleman now argues that as the present tariff was passed according to legal forms, and is nevertheless robbery, it is absurd to object to Negro-bakes, which are illegal. If law is theft, his mind reasons, illegality is virtue. Immediately after the feat, surpassing the Hatter or the March Hare in "Alice in wonderland," the paper vents contempt on the "Parian marble consciences," which "repudiated the law" permitting African slavery, and put down the rebellion. No wonder such a reasoner speaks of lynching as "the higher law." The best opinion. North and South, is united. The burden of our hardest problem is borne by the South. Northern States lynch as readily as Southern, when the provocation is as great, but what is crime and degradation north of Mason and Lincoln's line is degrading crime also south of it. There is no sectional law of murder. The editor of the "Atlanta News," who recently made a retrograde speech at Chautauque, and now explodes his vocabulary at our amiable and well meaning head, would be just as muddled a thinker and unfortunate a phenomenon if he lived in Boston as he is living in Atlanta. —Colliers' Weekly. Missouri's Oldest Newspaper. The first newspaper pulished in the Louisiana Purchaseterritory outside St. Louis will be included in the exhibit of Missouri journalism at the World's Fair. The paper was printed at Old Franklin, in Howard County, in 1817. The name of the publication was the "Missouri Intelligencer and Boon's Lick Advertiser" and it continued up to 1840 when it was moved to Columbia. Afterwards, under the pen of Col. William F. Switzler it became the Missouri Patriot, and Statesmen, and is to-day maintained as The Stateman edited by J. H. Rice and Henry Burckhart, at Columbia. The State Historical Society of Columbia, has the file of this publication, with exception of five years, from its first edition down to date. Historians and writers of historical novels have crossed the continent to review the pages of this and other Missouri newspapers which will compose the exhibit of Missouri Journalism in the Missouri Building.

It cares for the health and physical training, provides for refined social culture, gives careful attention to morals and manners, and aims to lead the student to a personal religious life. The work of the College is divided into six general departments. I. Primary and Grammar Grades, providing a thorough drill in the elementary branches. II. Academy or College Preparatory, with Classical, Scientific, Biblical English, Normal and Commercial courses. III. Art Department—Drawing, Painting and Decorative work. IV. Music Department—Vocal and Instrumental Music, Theory and Harmony. V. Industrial Department—Sewing, Dressmaking, Cooking, Domestic Economy, Mechanical Arts, Agriculture. VI. College of Liberal Arts—Complete elective courses leading to the several academic degrees. Work and Self-help. A number of students boarding in the College are permitted to earn some part of their expenses by work in the building or on the grounds. provided they are willing and efficient. Liberal pay is allowed for all work done, but employment will not be continued to those who fail to do their work satisfactorily. Most students earn in this way $2 00 a month; some earn larger amounts. Application for work should be made to the President in advance of coming. A large number of students find employment in homes in the city, sufficient to meet expenses of board and tuition. The call for young ladies for these positions is always greater than the supply. Application for such employment should be made in advance through the resident of the College. As far as possible we endeavor to safeguard those working in the city, but cannot be fully responsible for those outside the building. Only young men and women if established habits and character can be allowed this privilege of out side residence. In case of minors this may b. granted only on the written request of parents or guardians.

RESOLVED, by the Sulphur Springs Tabernacle that this obituary, in commendation of the life of Sister Rena Porter, be given to and published by the Editor of the Sedalia WEEKLY CONSERVATOR. Rena Porter born in Sweet Springs, Mo. April 30, 1881—died June 28, 1903. She professed religion at the age of 13 yrs. during the time that Rev. Wm. Smith was porter in Sweet Springs. She lived a devoted Christian and was a useful member of the M. E. church of which she was a member and was secretary of the Sunday School, a faithful member and secretary of the International Order of Twelve; she so lived in the community as to demand its love and respect. Her conversation during her illness was the future happiness of which she often spoke and sweet fields to her were beyond the swelling floods and she was waiting to take her place among the pure and blest, where the light of eternal peace and happiness reigns. Rena was educated in Sweet Springs. As a student she was diligent and loved by her classmates; she was assistant teacher during the term that Miss Alice Holmes taught here.
