Sedalia Weekly Conservator. Thou dark beighted land. We give to the our prayers And our ever helping hand. That thou mayst have the light Which cometh from above The bright and shining light Filled with the Father's love. Afaical Africa! We love thee as a brother, As we are bound together We'll work for one another. We bid thee now take hope And in thy strength arise. With thy heart and arms upfited Toward the ever-lasting skies. Africa! Africa! The land we long to see, A great and wondrous nation May all thy people be. The prophecy must be fulfilled Which was of old fore-told That the sable sons of Ham Must come into the peaceful old. Africa! Africa! We hear thee ever calling Thy condition we know must be indeed appalling Press upward to thy mountain heights, With conquering tread lead on. Nor think thy war fare ended till the victory be won, Africa! Africa! The land of lakes and mount- tains- The land of beauty, verdure, wealth- Of many sunny fountains Come sing the blessing of our Lord Make glorious his praises, With one accord from shore to shore, Our voices we shall raise. On thee, the light is breaking. Up to thy needs and cries for help. The nations are awakening. Behold deliverance cometh, As we give to thee our hand, Reach out and firmly grasp it, As it nears thy coral strand. —H. Thos. Reeves. THE SOUTH CENSURES DR.JNO.N.BASSET. That North Carolina is suffering from Negro phobia, and that bad, will be seen in the following article, clipped from the Sunday Globe: Chaalotte, N. C. (Special)—Dr. John N. Bassett, Prof. of history, in Trinity College, Methodist, at Durham, will probably resign his position as a result of pressure brought to bear the result of an article written by him in the South Atlantic Quarterly. Bassett, in his article stated that in the course of time the Negro would develop to a point wher he would enjoy the same social privileges as those of the white race and that Booker Washington was the greatest Southerner born except Robert E. Lee. The press throut out the State has condemned Bassett and the criticism has become so severe that the board of trustees of the college will consider the matter. ```markdown ``` SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, November 27 1903. WEYS FIND THE TIGERS EASY. Score: 16 to 0. Saturday, November 21, will ever be a memorable day in the annals of Geo. R. Smith College athletic circles, because it chronicles the most thrilling victory for the Dewey football team since its organization. Students, friends, and Alumni of both schools of both Lincoln Institute and Geo. R. Smith College were eager spectators while the teams were contesting on the gridiron. From the outset, the Deweys had the Pigers out-classed and overmatched. The managers for the visiting team were tendered every courtesy conducive to their and the team's welfare while in the city. Even their request for police protection was granted, and if necessary the Sedalia Kicks would have gone into commission for their well-being. is a result of lots cast, Capt. Thompkins selects the South goal for the Deweys, and Cap. Douthitt kicked off to Deweys at 2:44 p.m. Deweys secure ball and make 40 yards gain. Harris carrying the ball. Scrimmage. Deweys beats line back to 25 yd. line. Kibby carrying ball dashes thru line makes first touch-down at 2:55. Deweys miss goal. Deweys kick-off to Tigers who make short gain. Tigers are held for downs.

In fact, all who are well up on the game say that the Deweys were the Tigers' superiors in team work, head work boldness of dash and celerity of the execution of their maneuvers The Tigers came up from Jefferson City Saturday, fully intending to take a game of football, fixed to decide the colored football championship of Missouri, from the Geo. R. S. Deweys. So confident were the visitors of winning, and so cock sure were they that they would be mobbed after taking the game away from Sedalia, that the first act after alighting from the train was to ask for police protection. What they needed as a team was strength and ginger and headwork. They had no chai ce to win the game from the Deweys, and this the manager of the visit team recognized when the giants of Sedalia got into their working clothes. When it was all over, the home boys and girls escorted the crestfallen dudes to the depot and gave the m a good natured send-off. The score was 16 to 0 in favor of the Deweys and Sedalia claims the colored football championship of Missouri. When the Jefferson City football players reached Sedalia Saturday the first thing they did was to claim police protection. Somebody had been giving them the shivers. They were treated as oourteously as any colored delegation is ever treated here or elsewhere—which is equivalent to saying that they were made much of. Sedalia Daily Capital. As the train, bearing the Lincoln boys home, was pulling over the Lamine Street crossing, one of the boys took a shot at Paul Hearne. —Sedalia Sentinel. Kentuky Attacks The Negro. A little over half a dozen states -Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, North Carolina, Maryland, Alabama and Virginia, to place them in the order in which they acted-have abolished the Negroas a voter, or have attempted to do it. Kentucky proposes to join this roll. One of Shelby county's representatives in the legislature has framed a bill, to be introduced in the comingsession, which he believes will remove the black man as a political factor in succeeding canvasses. The measure has been framed under the direction of the leaders of the Democracy in Kentucky, and as its members, high and low, are opposed toallelection laws which leave any chance for the Republicans to win, even if they get a majority of the votes-there can be no doubt that it will be enacted. Do the Kentucky Democratic leaders fear Negro domination? In 1900 there were 1,862,000 whites and 248,000 blacks in Kentucky. There were seven times as many whites as blacks in Ken- tucky in that year. Moreover, the lead of the whites is steadily and rapidly lengthening! While the whites increased in population 17.1 per cent from 1890 to 1900 the increase among the Negro was only 6.2 per cent. The rate of expansion of the whites in Kentucky is almost three times a great as that of the blacks. And yet the Democratic bosses of that state pretend to believe they are somehow in danger of Negro supremacy. If the Democratic politicians of the South want to make their assault on the black voters of the country unanimous the Republicans will cheerfully meet them on that line. Race and sectional politics is not to the Republican taste, but the Republicans will accept the issue if it is forced upon them. By making the South solid for the effacement of an element of the voters which is protected by the laws, the North will become solid in defense of that right. The South has a power in the government grotesquely disproportionate to the vote which it casts. If it attempts to increase this disproportion, and thus to discriminate farther against the states which allow every man to vote who has a right to do it under the law, it must expect some antagonistic action from the rest of the country. The race issue, if it be put forward in 1900, will give the Republicans a longer lead in the electoral college in that year than they had in 1900. -Globe T. e South Again Stirred Up. Representative Crumpacker of Indiana has again introduced his bill for the appointment of a committee of thirteen to examine the election laws of the South, and again the journals and politicians of that section are beginning their grimaces at the Republican party. Ostensibly the purpose is to reduce the South's representation under the second second section of the fourteenth amendment, if it be found that it violates that provision, though possibly the Republicans will not go that far. This is fair, and the South ought not to oppose the Crumpacker proposition. That it will oppose the measure is, of course, certain. The country is well aware that several states of the South have, in spirit, at least assailed that provision. They have disfranchised Negroes as Negroes. Mississippi as long ago as 1890 did this. South Carolina, under Tillman's lead, followed the example in 1895. Then Louisiana effaced the black man in 1898. North Carolina did it in 1900, Maryland in 1901 and Alabama Virginia in 1902. North Carolina took this action by means of an amendment to her constitution. Maryland did it by act of the legislature, for there was no time to do it in the roundabout but very effective way traversed by some of the other states, as Gorman needed the votes to get himself back in the Senate, and he needed them right off. Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama and Virginia knocked out the Negro as a feature of a thorough revisi of their constitutions. There is no reason to suppose that the movement to abolish the Negro as a voter is to stop with those seven states. Several others in their section are expected to take the same course. Where is a report now that German will insist on a more thorough enactment of the black man in his own state than has been accomplished thus far, and that it will be done through an amendment to the constitution, as in the case of North Carolina, or through the adoption of an entirely new charter, as has been done by some of the states farther South. It would seem that this is a conspiracy against popular government. The Republicans have a right to inquire whether the South has been violating the fundamental law in her denial of the franchise to colored citizens, an if so, the penalty for this offense ought to be imposed. —Globe. OUR THANKSGIVING. Again in our midst and circle has dawned Thanksgiving, a welcome guest is it to every one, and we meet it with greetings, warm hearts, we prize it, amid sorrow, dark shadows, thick gloom, and bitter disappointment, always make it a pleasant, bright day, for us. While we prize also nigly, and look forward to its coming, are we prepared for its coming? Are we thankful for the golden privilege that the almighty has given us to witness this day? Are we thankful for health, raiment and for food, have we confessed our nothingness, confessed our sins for the blessed watch care and boundless mercy of the Almighty? Can, and will we gladden some heart this day, will we brighten some home this day, will we give to the poor this day and sacrifice ourselves in the spirit of revenge? The Lord loveth a cheerful giver. He that gives freely, gives twice, and this day, may we give our service where it is most needed. Live not for self, for they that are indolent must suffer want. Share the grief and joys of others. They who maintain these thoughts live, and shall continue to live, even when the body of the mortal has crumbled to dust the spirit shall continue to live. The life of such a being, is like the contents of a watch, constantly ticking. Lay it downat night it ticks, carry it all day it ticks, separate from its case, it continues ticking. The body is the case when placed in the tomo, the soul separated from it, continues to tick. In conclusion, one should always honor their Father and Mother, when he haven't a Father, he may honor his Mother or give "honor to whom honor is due." By Emma C. Hogan.

Missoula is not the only state that has boodlers etc. of the un-religious clans. What about Nebraska? DID THAT FOOT-BALL need any Police protection? We think not for it certainly was in sight Saturday. MARCUS AURELIUS HANNA IS SOON to succeed John Morgan as chairman as Senate Committee of Inter-Oceanic Canals. We know that that Negrophobist Morgan feels it, and we are certainly proud to hear of the "Old Roman." Senator Hanna, being thus signally honored. Foor oldsolid South! How we pity thy fate! News is borne Northward, that another professor of a Southern College has been forced to resign. He committed the unspeakable and unbearable offense (as the South would and will have it) of expressing his sentiments on the Negro problem thus one of the popular magazines. He was honest enough to speak truthfully on matters that he was well acquainted with. AND KANSAS CITY MISSOURI is trying to get gay. Two Negro congregations that had options on good edifices for religious purposes have been put to much trouble by other christians, who do not wish to have them so near. Well, when they get to the "crossing of the waves," they had better make some changes, else they will receive a warm reception to the Pluto's hospitable shades. ```markdown ``` IF A WHITE man wishes to be ostracised, let him go South and say the host and most feasible manner of solving the Race Problem is to let the Negro have fair and manly treatment. And, we are proud to note that we have men, who are not afraid to express their honest opinions, even tho it may and does cost them their position. All hail to the young Southern white who will not let prejudice overthrow his sense of honor and justice. AKE we thankful for that stupendous yield of corn? I shall say we are. Just think of it, we have, according to the computation of the statistician of the New York Produce Exchange, this year's yield of more than two and a quarter billions of bushels valued at nine hundred millions of of dollars. There is certainly enough to give all a well developed corn dodger and that, too, at a reasonable price. Our wheat crop to, is right in line, being valued at five hundred millions. Hence, this heavy yield of cereals will make foods cheaper, and at the same time afford much traffic for rail roads and ocean freighters. ```markdown ``` ANOTHER THANE GIVING, you are enjoying! Have you really done anything that entitles you to be happy? Have you made as much of your opportunities, as you should? Do you intend having another year to roll around, and you have nothing more to show than at present? These questions are properly put in order that all may ponder over them. If we have lived up to every duty and acquitted ourselves with honor, then judged are we thankful. Our thanks to, the savor of sweetness. Wherever we may be, let us think of those at home — mother, father, sister, brother, friend and neighbor. ```markdown ``` THERE ARE several enterprises that Central Missouri needs. Among the many we take the liberty of commenting on few. Central Missouri certainly needs a perfected organization of her progressive Negro citizens into an organization of a business character. Something to foster and give birth to substantial business schemes, that will afford opportunities for our active and energetic young men. Then, to, we need and must have a strong aggressive newspaper that will reflect the sentiments not of political schemers and ward manipulators, but of our sturdy industrious and thoughtful citizens. Much can be accomplished for the good of the race than the medium of a well established reliable newspaper, and that is exactly what the promoters of the Sedalia Weekly Conservator had in mind when they decided to put her forth for public inspection. Now we would have you who have matters that are for the publics good to write about them. Let us hear from one of our local issues. Let us know what you intend doing in the very near future, that has the element of progressiveness connected with it! All these things the conservator intends to know. The nobbiest, neatest, and flashiest suits of the season are of the Alfred Benjamin make, at the gents' emporium, St. Louis, Clothing Company, Corner Second and Ohio. B-r-r-r-r-r!

Williams was in town Saturday, looking after some very important business affairs. Arthur Britt of Fulton, Mo. and who works at a private boarding house here has been complaining of severe sorrow. Felix Warfield, and Mr. Volunteer went out gunning Monday morning. Its a sure fact that Warfield is the "best shot, in the country." "Hoboes" are seeking winter quarters in cities and towns, and robbers are taking advantage of their presence (?) by looting stores, post offices and banks. Not a word has been heard from those who live on the farthest the land plan, as to whether or not we shall let the needy of our race freeze and starve this winter. Well its up to Mrs. Cee and the city. Frank James, the ex-restaurant on Main St., and who killed Fletcher Hill near Cole Camp some months ago, was arraigned in Criminal Court Saturday morning and plead not guilty. He was sent back to jail to await the January term of court. Young man, your fall and winter purchases will be incomplete, until you see the Crofton Belt coat handled by those down to date furnishers — The st. Louis Clothing Co. Paul Hearn, let, it be known, is not in any way connected with either Geo. R. Smith College or the Dewey foot-ball team, but is an employee of the Bente and Wilson law firm of this city. So West(?) was trying to avenge the team's defeat by shooting at a citizen. Rev. C. W. Williams formerly of this city but now pastor of St. James Chapel, St. Louis, Me., was a pleasant visitor to our sanctum last Thursday morning. His visit was doubly pleasant, for he handed us some of the stuff that "maketh the heart," of a business man "glad." We heartily thank the dear brother and the good lady who piloted this favor to our door, and beg leave to impress their whole community thru them that the CONSERVATOR is its best paper, and the management its staunch friend. Rev. Williams informed us that he shall have to enlarge his church to be able to accommodate his congregation. Sedalia A. M.

CHARTERED FEBURARY 17, 1908 The purpose of the College is to give a thorough, practical christian education. 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 did to de their work satisfactorily. Most students earn in this way $2 00 a month, some earn larger amounts. Applicating 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 oath for young ladies for these positions is always greater than the supply. Application for such employment should be made in advance through the president 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. Established habits and character can be allowed this privilege of outside residence. In case of minor this may be granted only on the written request of parents or guardians. Dr. J. Will Jackson's eyes has been so much benefitted by optical, specialist, until he will be able to meet the following engagements, on the Lecture platform, at Glasgow Thanksgivings evening. Within the coming fort night he, by special request, will read a paper, entitled, The Negr Problem, before the white Ministerial Alliance of this city, and on the evening of Dec. 10, he will redelivered his revised lecture on his "Tirp to the Soufland and observation," before a nondenominational club of the literary and professional men and women of Springfield, Ill. The title of his newly revised lecture is, "Our Complex Civilization and the Negro." We trust that the good brother will favor Sedalians with his recently prepared lecture in the very near future.

Historic Headpieces of the Popes Have Been Very Expensive Articles of Adorment. The vicissitudes of the papal tiers have been remarkable, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Take the case of the first, that of S. S. Ivester. Clement V. had that brought out of the sacrarium at the Littera to Avignon. It served the uses of some of the popes there. Gregory XI. took it back to Rome. The French cardinals who elected Clement VII. in opposition to Urban VI. carried it back to France. Lombard XIII. took it with him to Spain. It was restored to the lateran; and, somewhere about 1484, it was stolen. So it disappears from history. Meanswhile Martinus V., the elect of the council of Constance, in 1417, had supplied himself with a new tiara, which also disappeared. His successor, Eugénius IV., replaced it. But he had to pledge his tiara for the 40,000 crowns that were required to pay the expenses of the council of Florence and the entertainment of the oriental bishops. He got back, indeed, an Arvignon tiara, and Celixius III. sold the stones out of it to provide the sinews for the holy war against the infidel. Thus despolled, this tiara was not good enough for the festidious Venetian who was Paul II. He spent something like 500,000 crowns upon his beardgear, and Sixius IV. and Innocent VIII. both found it useful for their respective requirements. Tiaras were portable securities. Aguiluo Chief, the banker, lent Julius II. a very substantial sum on his, and the conclave of 1555, which elected Paul IV., sold a stock tiaras out and out. The stock, notwithstanding, seems to have been considerable. Clement VII., before the sack of Rome in 1527, kept Benvenuto Collino busy breaking up the contents of the sacriarium as a precautionary measure. Yet Plus VI. found half a dozen tiaras still remaining and spent a million crowns upon their modernization. A few years later the treaty of Tolentino had deprived him of them all. Demonstrate had agreed to accept a part of the $30,000,000 francs which he had imposed as a war contribution in valuable property of this blind. Brendon, on May 14, 1797, he was complaining to the directory that he had got too much of it—8,000,000 in precious stones and not a son of ready money for his army. His holiness was obliged to buy back some of his property for cash down. A loan was raised from certain bankers at Geneva. The directory got wind of this and simplified the proceedings by annexing the loan right away. The holy see temporarily recovered a portion of its effects in 1805. Out of the tiara that want to Tolentino the emperor had one made for Plus VII to crown him in. But when that unfortunate nuisfit was arrested and imprisoned his tiara was promptly taken away from him and relegated to the imperial treasury. It did not get to Rome till 1815. When it was made the pope had been reduced to the necessity of wearing a tiara of covered cardboard, set with initiation gems. It was at any rate, light and easy to wear and as such commended itself to his successors on occasions of minor importance. Gregory XVI. replaced it by something less theatrical and more artistic and Pio Nono by something quite as light and more imposing. In 1805, however, Queen Isabella of Spain presented him with a magnificent tiara in diamonds. And in 1888, when the late none celebrated his cacedotal jubilee the faithful of Paris made him an offering of a chef discover of Fromant-Neurice, in the shape of a triregno, which has now become historic. DENVER THE TYPICAL CITY Has a Lower Percentage of Foreigners Than Any Other of the Big Towns. Denver is not a foreign city; it is more purely American than its eastern or western neighbors, says the World To-Day. By the census figures, 81 per cent of her population is American born, while New York has but 63 per cent, Boston, 65; Chicago, 65; San Francisco, 66. Of the foreign population but few are German, with their phlegmatic temperament, and a goodly number are English. In fact, among the English upper classes, Colorado is the best-now state in the union. Here they come to shoot and to invest, and here come the younger sons to grow up with the country. They have given a slight but distinct English tone to the city. But it is mainly the American who has come and drunk the wine of her air and has been in the bath of her washline, so that his activities have been reubbed. He has become more active, optimistic, nervous, excited. The walk of the people on the street is springy and light, their eyes bright, their manner quick. They pay more attention to dress. It is rare to see an oil-dressed person on the streets, and as stylish costumes may be seen on the women as in New York and more than in sooty Chicago or St. Louis. In proposition to its size. Denver has finer dry goods stores are seven sisters. and their stock is of fine quality. The people look prosperous. The streets on a fine afternoon have an air of gayety and good living. Just a Bluff. Towne—Yes, Subbubs has a 'phone in his house. Browne—Why, he gave me to understand he hadn't. "That's strange." "No: I think I understand it now. He invited me home to dinner with him the other day, and the meal was most elaborate. He wanted me to believe his wife hadn't been warned of my coming."—Philadelphia Press. MARKET REPORTS.
