Sedalia Weekly Conservator. A8 A RULE. In the morning, when I rise, I remark, with sundry sighs, "I must ginger up to-day— Too much time I've thrown naway, I must cut out all the frills, Frown upon the pace that kills, Knuckle down with might and main And some lost ground thus regain." No soliloquizing I Eat my breakfast on the fly: Then my ardor seems to cool— As a rule. In the evening I retire. Troubled with forebodlings dire. Vowing that another day Will behold me on the way To success and wealth—two things That persistent plugging brings. "Yes," I mutter, "starting in Eight away. I'll grieve like stu. Art is long and time is brief And I will not come to grief; For I'll sever all the ties That I know demoralize." But before another day Has completely passed away I begin to make complaint At my self-imposed restraint. I am kicking like a mule As a rule. In this great terrestrial school, Lessons taught by aches and sorrow Must be learnt again to-morrow, Learnt to-morrow, will they stay Mastered in the future? Nay! Preachers say, with solemn zest, Man is but a child, at best. This comparison is flat— Man methinks, is worse than that; He is just a plain damphool, As a rule. POSSIBILITIES OF THE NEGRO. Men Not Labeled By Color in the World of Work, Says Booklovers Magazine. It is usually considered that Negroes are today contributing practically nothing of importance to American civilization: that only one or two individuals of Negro blood have so risen above the average of the nation as rightly to be judged men of mark. Nor is this assumption to be wondered at, for in the world of work men are not labeled by color. When, then, the average American rushes to his telephone there is nothing in the look of the transmitter to tell him that it is part product of a Negro brain; when the whizz of the engine weaves cloth, drags trains, and does other deeds of magic, it does not tell the public that the oil which smooths its turning is the composition of a black man; if the medical student reads in Da Costa of the skilled surgeon who recently sewed up a hole in a living man's heart he will not read that the surgeon was colored; the wanderer amid the beauties of the Luxemburg is not apt to know from the dark hues of the "Raising of Lazarus" the still darker hues of its painter; and it was a Texas girl who natively remarked "I used to read Dunbar a good deal until I found out that he was a nigger." Such ignorance of the work of black men is natural. A man works with his hands and not with his complexion, with his brains and not with his facial angle; and the result of his work is human achievement and not necessarily a "social problem." Thus his works becomes gathered up and lost in the sum of American deeds, and men know little of the individual. Consequently the average American, accustomed to regarding black men as SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30 1903 the outer edge of humanity, not only easily misses seeing the colored men who have accompli-hed something in the world common to both races, but also misses entirely the work of the men who are devoloping the dark and isolated world of the blackman. So here I am seeking to bring to mind something of what men of African blood are today doing in America, by selecting as types ten living Negroes who in ability and quit regard less of their black blood have raised themselves to a place distinctively above the average of mankind. Just how far they have risen I am not attempting to say, for human accomplishment is a thing difficult to judge; and peculiarly difficult in the case of people, whose ability and worth is a matter of hot questioning between friends who exaggerate and foes who persistently belittle. I do not say, then, how much of genius or transcendent ability these men have; I do say that measured by any fair standard of human accomplishment they are distinctively men of mark, and that they all have enough black blood in their veins to disfranchise them in Alabama. D.3. DU BOIS BEFORE THE PUBLIC EYE. A survey of the notable achievements of men of Negro blood would be sadly incomplete if it failed to include a word regarding the career of the author of the foregoing article. His influence in promoting the highest interests of his race is hardly less potent than that of the distinguished principal of Tuskegee Institute. In preparing for his life-work Dr. Du Bois enjoyed the largest opportunities which the highest type of education canoffer. He is a Harvard man with the added advantage of the impress of a great German university. Since 1896 he has held chair of sociology in Aalanta University. It would not have been surprising if this broadly cultured scholar had developed a sense of detachment from the interests of his race, but instead he has dedicated his best powers most unreservedly to the service of his people. The race discussion has hitherto been characterized by a superfluity of prejudice and a dirth of exact information, The most sweeping generalizations have been made by the "carwindow sociologists." But now the investigations of Dr Du Bois have applied the methods of exact statistical science to the examination of the Negro problem. The rhetorican with his theory is at last confronted by the seein tist with his facts. Furthermore, this man who has the facts is competent to interpret them. He understands the view-point of the white race as thoroughly as he knows the needs of the Negro. His recent book, The Souls of Black Folk, reveals the range of his power. As you read, you recognize the impartial historian, the sober statistician, the fearless critic and systems. But you discover also a man of fine poetic temperament who is able to step aside from economic discussion to lead you "within the Veil, raising it that you may view faintly its deeper recesses—the meaning of its religion, the passion of its human sorrow, and the struggle of its greater souls." His economic science is not invalidated by his poetic strain, and the imaginative touch in his work reveals the secret of the influence of this scholarly leader upon a people emotions are strongly developed.—Ex. Shaw as Sunday School Teacher Secretary Shaw has long been identified with Methodism. Every four years he is a delegate to the national council of that denomination. For twenty years before he became Governor of Iowa he was superintendent of a Methodist Sunday-school at Denison, Iowa and after he became the Chief Executive of that State he accepted the superintendency of a Sunday-school at Des Moines. In his church work Mr Shaw has displayed the same energy that has distinguished his public career. In 1892, the year that James J. Corbett, the pugilist, defeated John L. Sullivan, it happened that shortly after that event Mr Shaw in his Sunday-school undertook to tell the story of David's encounter with the Philistine giant Goliath of Gath. To enable his young hearers to grasp the moral involved in this Biblical lassic, Mr. Shaw began by telling how the champion went out boastfully from the camp of the Philistines into the valley of Elah to challenge any man in the army of Isreal. "This giant," said Mr. Shaw, "was six cubits and a span in height, and was so strong that he could wear with ease a coat of mail the weight of which was equal to five thousand shekels of brass. Even the head of his great spear was as heavy as six hundred shekels of iron." Mr. Shaw went on to tell of the bluster in the champion's method of challenge, and how the Israelites were terrified, not having a man ready to meet so big and noisy an adversary. Then the Iowa banker presented the other side of the picture, giving in detail the account sf King Saul's anxiety and his promise of the hand of his daughter in marriage to the man that would in ringle combat vanquished the huge Philistine. Then he described David, the the shepherd boy, and the preper atons he made, and how at the last moment the youth discarded the brass helmet, the coat of mail and the sword, and finally went forth with only a sling and five pebbles from a brook. While Mr. Shaw had proceeded a whispered conversation had developed among a group of boys. At first it was furt.ve. It was evident questions were being asked of one another in regard to some point in the story. The discussion among the boys became animated and audible, and Mr Shaw paused a moment and looked at the youngsters. A disturbance of any sort or any any diminuton of attention was a rare occurrence in his Sunday-school. "What is it, boys?" he asked. A sturdy little chap, displaying a great deal of excitement, rose and exclaimed: "Please. Mr. Shaw won't you tell us right off which one goe licked, David or the champion, and give us the particulars afterwards." Springfield, Mo., Oct. 3. United States Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama is in Springfield visiting relatives. He gave outan interview today on the political situation which expressed a bold position on the negro question. The southern senator says he would like to see put into the next national Democrats platfrom the strongest possible declaration that this a white man's country and the Democrats have never believed that the negro should share in the administration of the government. If this were done he would have no fear, he says that any man or party could make much headway in opposition to such a brave consistent utterance on the race issue. He said; "With a sound and conservative platform that would unite the Democrats, the question of leadership would be very simple There are at least 500 Democrats in the country who have the qualifications of the good President. Most of the 500 excel President Roosevelt in those qualities of character that belong to the steady and reliable statesman." In Honor of Rev. Wm. Alexander On returning from the Missouri Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church which convened at St. Paul Chapel A. M. E. Church St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 7, '03. Greatly fatigued after six days of hard work in one of the most successful sessions of the A. M. E. conference ever held in the state. I was greatly awakened to a sense of the great and grave responsibilities resting upon me as pastor of a great church. And on Friday afternoon Oct. 16, while brooding over plans to meet the emergency of the hour, a gentle rap was heard at the door, it was a gentleman who apprised me of an invitation for myself and wife to go out and take six o'clock dinner with a friend, which we readily accepted. On returning home a committee escorted us from the parsonage to the church to a welcome reception given in honor of their pastor, Rev. W. Alexander. Oh! the sight was astounding; tables heavily ladened with assortment of delicious fruits, ices, cakes, pies, salads and chicken awaiting the approach of nearly two hundred participants. After the devotional exercises Shelton French delivered the address of welcome. Responce by the pastor. Then all partook of this splendid repast. So great was this feast the half can never be told. It was the grandest reception ever given in the history of this church. I have never received such a hearty welcome since I entered the ministry. May the Lord bless these good people. Wm. Alexander. Absence of feeling is a sign of death. NO.26 TEXAS EDITOR DENOUNCES LAWLESSNESS AGAINST NEGROES. R.T. Milner, torner speaker of the Texas house of representatives and who is one of the democratic leaders of the state confirms the statement of Gen.webster Flanagan of the brutaloutrages and murder of inoffensive Negroes in a recent issue of his newspaper the Henderson times published in the county seat of Rusk County Mr. Milner says: "several weeks ago there was kindled in this city a spirit of lawlessness that has culminated in some of the most atrocious crimes ever committed by white men in any country in any age of which history gives any account. Indeed, to find a parallel for these crimes we must get beneath every ray of light created by Christianity and descend to the dark ages when Romans threw their fellow-men into dens of ferocious beasts to see their flesh devoured. The first of it was the whipping of a few trifling Negroes here about town, and warning them that they must go to work and thus make themselves useful. The example served as an excuse to wreak vengeance upon Negroes in various portions of the county, first in cases where a grievance existed and finally growing into a furious passion to inflict upon harmless and helpless Negroes punishment and death in a manner so horrible as to reflect the savagery of the bar barous and blood thirsty ages of the long past. Of how Jesse Franklin and Jim Phillips, two Negroes living in the Bunker Hill community, were whipped, hingered, suffered and finally died, we shall not attempt to detail in these columns. Humanity, civilization and Christianity have been invaded as never before in the history of the county, and all that promotes and fosters organized society has been set at defiance. The condition now confronting us is one that can not fail to elicit from every good citizen an expression of condemnation. In obe dience to the monitions of conscience and unawed by the power of the mob, and acting from the highest impulse of which nature is susceptible, it behooves every man at this time who loves his home, his country and his life to arise to the fullest demands of the hour and see to it that this shame shall cease." A Flying Trip On Business. On last Saturday J. B. Simpson came for us to make a trip over land to Otterville and Bunceton. We left Sadalia about 3:00 o'clock getting to Otterville about 7:00, we visited an entertainment given at Mrs. Porter's residence. Here we met a jolly and hospitable people, we were very delightfully entertained for a short while by a very bright young lady Miss Emma Hogan, and crossd questioned by a well posted old gentle man, Mr Thompson. Mr Thompson put us to bed at his home, after the close of the festival, and after a good night's sleep, we started to BuncetonSunday morning. We arrived at Mr. Draston's about 5 miles of Bunceton at ten (continue on page 4.) SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSERVATOR Published Every Friday. Office, 104. E.

For, the evidences of corruption and fraud perpetrated within her bounds are innumerable. Mayor Lowe, the fusion candidate for re-election to the mayoralty of greater New York, is making the race of his life. Well, should he lack strength, he might as Elijah 3rd. to throw his mantle about him. Has Sedalia, as has been intimidated, a Tammany inminiature? If so should the "Tiger," tho a cub, at present, be allowed to develop into a living, dangerous creature, as is the case in greater New York. Watch our local movements view them dispassionately and see what, if anything, can be done for our benefit and general welfare. Should a young man on entering upon life's career have big or large ideas? This question is is very pertinent to many of us just now. And, it is especially pertinent when propounded to us, as is often the case, for the purpose of dampening our aspirations and enthusiasm. There is common sense philosophy in the assertion that all young men should be optimists, tho hedged about by difficulties, seemingly insurmountable. When young America, wanes in courage, our destiny is sealed; so with the youth of our race, if they allow difficulties and discouragements to drive off them from attempting to accomplish honorable and laudable purposes. Hence, we counsel ideas of the broadest, highest and deepest magnitude for ideals. These ideas when onced conceived, labor to bring into living tangible realities. Some would say that we are surrounded by superior elements of our citizenship. Can that be taken as axiomical verity, without any doubt? No! Thrice no. Who know our strength? Have we gone to the limit of possibilities and potentialities? Again, no. The difficulties and disadvantage are the standards of circumstances that will wage us to go to the limit of all our powers—physically, intellectual, moral, strategic and religiously. Therefore, there is but one of two things for us to do, namely:—Yeild with all hands up or push forward as men courageous men, having the image of the divine impressed upon our countenance. Should we adopt the former, we would soon be wiped off the face of the earth, as was and is the fate of the Aborigines of America and Australia. This be would puerile and nonsensical. Moreover, it would not be in accordance with the results of previous history ```markdown ``` Sedalia Weekly Conservator. EDITOR MANAGER and traditions. For, has not our race at all times acquired herculean strength to offset and overcome oppositions, that others alleged we could but fail? It was said that we could not survive slavery, that emancipation meant our annihilation. It was said that we could not be educated but, now it is alleged that we are becoming over educated. It is being said that we can not succeed in conceiving and executing great ideas, this we will prove too as erroneous as all the former allegations. Now, then, if our past has been so fraught with noble and laborious results, we must and will accept the latter course open to us, i.e. Push to the front as free-men, with a "conscience void of offense." Any intelligent individual will accept the truthfulness of the following facts viz. That, if we, cry "hands up" and yeild with out making an effort our doom is pitiable indeed, inevitable. But, if we go to the front with all our powers active, who can foretell the results? Young man be optimistic courageous and energetic. Our future depends more upon these elements of character than anything else. Without them, if you had wealth it would melt away as the evening's dew before the noon day sun, with them you have the implements that will bring all things good and Godly under your control to be utilized for the good of man and the glory of God: The Geo. R. Smith College Foot Ball Team are rounding in to form and they are now ready to meet any of the Colored teams of Mo. and adjoining States. They have been greatly handicapped by the loss of two of their star backs an and end of last year's team. Then right at the beginning of the season they received an additional draw back. Johnson and Harris their star tackles both receiving injuries that have kept them out of the game for the last two weeks and with Dysart and Goins on the waitinglist, the team had a very difficult task before it. But as Goins and Dsyart have returned to the game and with Harris and Johnson off of the hospital list the boys are practicing with a spirit of enthusiasm that has never before been exhibited on Smith Field. The boys have prospective games with Lincoln Institute, Sumner High of St, Louis, Douglas School of Columbia Mo., Plaza High of Fort Scott Kans., and Sumner High of Boone ville Mo. The boys only have a squad of 25 to select a team from yet by superior training we hope to have one of the fastest colored teams in the west. We are not over confident but we feel safe in saying that the Deweys will make a clean record this season. Any teams wishing to arrange games with the Deweys should write. Dr. J. M. Harris Mgr. The Chicago Inter-ocean says editorially of the progress of the Negro: It might in passing for the relief of those who are becoming anxious about it, that if the American Negro makes as much progress in the next 40 years as he has made in the last he will be able to relieve his brother of a great deal of the responsibility connected with the problems in which he is particular concerned" Thruout the north and east there is a movement on foot to give negroes separate schools. To our opinion this is in keeping with the saying that, the best teacher for any race of people is a developed member of that race. The colored people of Colorado Springs are going to build a much needed hotel at that place. Begin now and be ready for the next years trade. It is rumored that Folk's visit to Pres. Roosevelt will result in the President asking Congress to pass strenuous laws against "Boodling." Plans for a Greater Taylor's Chapel. That the pastor, Rev. Richard Davis and members of Taylor's Chapel mean to have in our city a modernized church, in the future was evidenced last Sunday. The rallying all day was brisk and commensurate with the spirit of enterprise that is moving the entire church and community. Three able sermons, were preached during the day by Press, I, L. Lowe. Ph. D., morning Rev. John Wilson recently appointed, pastor of the St. Joe C. M. E. Church, after noon and the Rev. W. A. Bohanon pastor of the Knobster, M. E. Church. The presence of the Holy Spirit was perceptable, manifest and every soul seemed thrilled with eargerness for the work. Rev, Davis and the various Captains of clubs have brought Sedalia to the frontand Taylor's Chapel hereafter means to rank with powerful churches of Central Mo. Methodism. Then to, that story about Taylor's Chapel's inability to raise money was proven to be "old cloth." What she wanted was leadership. Thanks, to him and the conference for our present leader, the Rev. Richard Dav is a man, whose very soul yearns for arduous labor. Each captian deserves special credit for their good generalship in marshalling their hosts for the successful campaigning, during the past three weeks. By a careful perusal of their, reports, you will be very conclusively convinced. The captians and their clubs reported as follows:— Mrs Salle Molitt $13.01 Mrs Lilly Bell Wheeler $15.00 Mrs Anna Wright $16.28 Mrs Julia Nelson $18.42 Mrs Mattie Carter $23.35 Mrs ---- Caldwell $24.30 Mrs Mattie Bishop $26.11 Mrs Mayme B.

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 $200 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 outside residence. In case of minors this may be granted only on the written request of parents or guardians. Photographs Of This County.

Ber pale 100 The Sw so soon to if an able o'clock and was welcomed by our old friend and school mate Thos. Draston, we found them a very hospitable people. They were willing to make any sacrifice for our comfort. They took us to church, and after services, introduced us to many of Bunceton's good citizens and Cooper County's best farmers. We met Rev. Red, a sincere and earnest worker for the christian cause, and acquainted him with our errand. He willingly consented that we should use his church and part of his time to lay our plans before his congretion. We were treated to a very unique programme Sunday eve, which runs as follows: Song services by an unexcelled choir under the management of Prof. Miller: the uniting in holy bonds of matrimony of Miss Lama Crump and Mr. Wm. Myles. The bride is but about 17 years of age, while the groom seemed a bout 22 or 23. She wore a plain and sparingly trimmed white dress and white veil; the groom wore a walking suit. Rev. O. T. Red officiated. Next came a well prepared sermon, after while collection were taken for the the church and a sick boy. This church, after lifting a collection of about $7, for the church did credit to themselves by raising $5.00 for the sick boy. Then we were introduced to the audience. Mr. Simpson had first chance at them and spoke in the interest of the Geo. R. Smith College Industrial Building. And he fairly made the welking ring. He did no little good for Geo. R., showing them that an Industrial School at Geo. R., would make her to the negro, what the university at Columbia is to the whites of Missouri. He was followed by C. Milton English, local and managing editor of the Conservator, who backed up Mr. Simpson argument by showing them the work he was engaged in thus proving to them that if the youth were properly encouraged and supported, they would succeed in any effort. We take this opportunity to extend our very grateful thanks to the good people all along the route for their unlimited hospitality. LOCAL MENTION Wild Cat, I. T. is a town owned exclusively by Negroes. For a little, Japan would go after the Russian Bear, for his fail ure to vacate. Leonard Corneluis left Wed. morning for Denver, Colo., where he has a position. Wesley Branch, our esteemed friend of Saline county, has about concluded to locate in our city. Girls, look shy. Dowie and his crusaders are provoking no little fun up in New York. Somehow he can't make people believe that he is Elijah 3rd. Misses Effie West and Lilian J. Martin, of Smithton, spent Sunday in our city. Both are progressive "school marms" of the finest type. Mrs. Braxton, mother of Mrs. Mayme B. Smith, died at her daughter's home on east Morgan St., Thursday morning. Master Thomas Umbles, a very bright and energetic youth of Lincoln school, will look after the delivery of the CONSERVATOR on the North side. Any courtesies extended to him will be ap- preciated as special favors to the management. Miss Fannie Counce, af Coffeyville, Kas., has rendered invaluable services to the mechanical department of the CONSERVATOR during the past three weeks. We hope to secure her services durfor the season of 1903-04. Our thanks to Dr. Simonds, J. A. Robb, of this city, and Mrs. Lucy Marshall, of Marshall, Mo, for subscriptions during the past week. Negroes of America have big plan on foot, to tax every Negro, and use the money to establish business institutions all over the United States. C. Milton English, our lively business manager, "did" the Bunceton vicinity last Saturday and Sunday with Prof. J. B. Simpson, our agricultural writer. Miss Cassie Scott, who has been indisposed all summer, returned to Dresden, Sunday after a two weeks stay with her relatives, Mrs. Sam Harland of East Second street. Gordon McKay who died at his home in New Port, R. I., recently gave a large tract of land and a building at Kingston, B. W. I., for education of young colored men. The school is called McKay Institute. Tne Right to Govern A red man was discussing the Negro problem. "Yes," he admitted, "the blacks ought to be transported to Africa. Then send the whites back to Europe, and then the land will be free to the original owners." Not even then; for the Indians probably exterminated a race of people, the Mound builders' immeasurably their superiors. Between races, sight is a vague idea. Does it rest in priority of time? Does it rest on forbe? Only a few cvnics, like Bismark and Napoleon, would simplify it so brutally. The nearest we can come to a satisfactory answer is superiority. Superior development gives us the right to rule, but only with the understanding that NOBLESSE OBLIGE. Our right to rule the Filipinos is undoubted, provided we rule them, as Governor Taft did, for their own advancement. Only cranks regret England's government in India and Egypt. We forbid to England and Germany a foothold in South America, not for the sake of South Americans, but for our own repose. In a retrograde fanatic like the Turk we recognizenor right when superior people, like the Finns and Poles' are outraged by the Russians, fear may hold the world in check, but its sense of justice revolts to a degree far greater than when the higher robs the lower. The shrinking from Negro domination or equality is part of this instinct; as near a fundamental ground of justice as blind human thoughts has reached. There were in the United States proper, not not including Aiaska in 1900,237,196 Indians and accoring tosome authoriries there never were over 600,000.

Abstract justice, like that of the Indian who would transport both black and white, only makes us laugh.
