NEGRO'S OPORTUNITY IN THE COMMERCIAL WORLD. Not since the Negro's arrival from "Darkest Africa," 1619 has his opportunity been so large, inviting and promising as it is to-day. Indeed, this is his inviting field and unlimited opportunity. For the intelligent, progressive, down to date Negro, the Commercial World opens wide her doors and bids him welcome. The growing and perpetually expanding government under whose flag he lives and toils gives him great hope and reason to hope. Our constant acquisition of new territory gives him great and additional opportunity. To equip the negro for this important increasing opportunity, educational facilities are not wanting. To achieve permanent and perpetual success he like all successful men and nations must have both, training and experience to cope with other nations; his superior, only, by virtue of centuries of general and special, theoretical and practical education. If with all these plus a technical, professional, business and industrial education, other races can only succeed, how can the Negro hope to succeed with less effort, yes with the odds against him? Laws which make and govern these conditions must be studied, to be understood, to be mastered, to be properly applied. Along with common sense one of the Negro's greatest needs today is to properly economize. If you would train a nation you must train the individual, to properly train the individual you must begin with the infant. To-day The Negro Commercial World is sadly in need of more energetic well trained competent accountants. The demand and increase of efficient helpers grows with the years. The Magic-the wonderful growth, the weekly increase of mercantile business in the Negro-business world calls for an increased number of capable young men and young women who possess a sufficient and usable amount of business training. Young men, young women seize the passing golden opportunity. Think-feel-act. Act now. H. L. Billups. SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, December 25 1903. CHRISTMAS. The Day We Celebrate. Christmas Day has been celebrated more or less every since the Birth of Christ, but at that time most of the people were in heathen-dome and only a few would have any celebration. Yet as time rolled on and people became more christianized and civilized this day has been held by more people The first Xmas that has any great bearing in history was held by the Franks in the year 496 and the Day was set for the great baptismal ceremony when the king and the nation was to become, at last, christian. The King of of the Franks Clouis, was at first a heathen, but by this ceremony on Xmas, he and all his people took Christ for their Master and a christain nation was set up in Middle Europe as a bulwark against the wild heathen of the Northern land. In the year of 800 Xmas Day was long remembered throughout Europe because of the Coration of Charlemagne and historians have said of him that no soveign, no human being perhaps rendered greater service to civilization of the world and the great day, the Coration-day, in the life of this hero of mediaeval chivalry, is a date easy to be remembered. Every school-boy should be grateful for so simple a "date of anchorage," Christmas of the year 800. Also another Xmas that dawned upon the land of Europe was the Coration of William the Conqueror in the year 1066 on Xmas Day. These all are great happenings that occurred on Xmas Day in remembrance of the coming of Christ; yet most people were still in ignorance and did not observe the Day but the tide of affairs has changed and the happening of this Day, the Birth of Christ, has caused it. The celebration is no longer to only a few people while others are still living in ignorance, but it has paved the way so that all nations can glorify and magnify the Holy name, and all may praise what the angel said on that morning "I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people; for there is born to you this day in the city to David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord " and all may join with the Angelic host and sing "Glory of God in the highest and on earth peace among men" From the dawn to the present time man has made great progress. He has come out of the heathen stage until now he is working and prospering in every avenue of life. The Birth of Christ also laid the foundation of Education, which has been the main factor in bringing man from the state of heathendom and taking the celebration from a national and making it a Universal Celebration. From that time man has been working and hunting the ideal that was set by Christ, for before man had nothing that was perfect and only had to model after that which seemed real in the sight of himself, but since then in all degrees of civilization this tendency toward the ideal is found. Our greatest philosophers and scientists—Newton and Franklin—have been only able to "think God's thought after him." What vision of unnumbered stars in space must have filled the brain of Kepler before he gave to the world the great laws of planetary motion! Could the fingers of Raphael or Angelo have wrought their wonderful creations upon canvass, without their souls being first expanded into contemplation of the beauties of nature and the inspiration drawn from her inexhaustible store house. Why should we trust to the senses alone in the pursuit of wisdom, and happiness and neglect to use the purer fountain of the soul truly. "Man does not live by bread alone." Since the way for man has been made then the aim of true living should be to make the ideal real; to actualize in every day affairs this spiritual essence which permits all things to create for yourself the condition of our happiness, for all truly great and happy lives have been those of service. "He that loseth his life shall find it," in the service of others. It is an unchangeable law that we get from life what we put into it the; out going sympathies and helpful acts come back to us increased a hundred folds. Then the most truly happy and successful life must be the one founded upon these great principles that all are with the Universal Life; that the infinite source of wisdom is one from which to draw inspiration and joy, that the outgiving of this joy in service for others is pre-eminently the life of progress upward and Godward, the life that dignifies manhood and womanhood by lifting them into the higher divine law of being, the life that will be one of lasting peace, satisfaction and power. We all may join with the poet and say: Hail the Holy child, hail our Lord and King, Wise men and shepherds mild, Eager tribute bring. Sing all the earth and Heaven, This is Christmas morn, Joy to the world is given, Christ the Lord is born. J. W. Cooper. "Night" Anderson Accidentally Kills Himself. "Night" Anderson. employed on the Ralph Down farm near Georgetown, was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun Tuesday. Anderson went out in a wagon to do some work, and had carried the gun with him. As there was no one with him, the accident can never be described. From his position, and that of the gun, it is supposed that he had left the wagon and in getting back in the wagon dropped the gun. Evidently he had the gun full cocked for both barrels were emptied into his stomach, literally blowing him inside out. The shot entered about the navel and tore a hole in his back thru which the intestines were carried. Anderson was not dead when found, but lived from noon until 7:30 in the evening. FATAL FIRE. Ladles Dormitory Burned. STUDENTS LEAP FROM THIRD AND FOURTH FLOORS IN NIGHT DRESS. Four persons dead, 18 believed fatally injured and probably ten or twelve more or less hurt is the result of a fire which almost totally destroyed Rust Hall, a womans dormitory of Walden University, at Nashville, Tenn., last Friday night. The direct origin of the terrible conflagration which was attended with such terrible results is not known. It is supposed to have started in the laboratory of the university which was located in the destroyed building. What added horror of the situation was the fact that most of those killed or hurt sustained the injuries by jumping from the windows of the burning building. While some of them were burned to a more or less extent, death or fatal injury came as the result of jumping from the dormitory. The neck of Nannie Johnson was broken by the fall; and besides broken limbs sustained by the others, many of them were internally injured. The destroyed dormitory was one of the oldest of Walden University, being sometimes known as the Administration Building. The building had no fire escapes, and was so far removed from any other structure that egress by means of other roofs was impossible. It was a four-story brick building, and from the windows of the third and fourth stories the inmates jumped or fell to the ground. Awakened by the cries of those who had discovered the fire, the other inmates of the building had rushed from their rooms panic-striken. Althoughsome of them rushed down stairs through the smoke and heat, it was but a few moment this means of exit had been cut off, so rapid was the progress of the conflagration. It was then to the windows that they rushed as offering the only means of escape. There was no time to secure clothing or anything else and the sixty of those who occupied the dormitory who did reach the windows were clad only in their night dresses. Those occupying rooms on the second floor did not hesitate when they reached the windows, but leaped out into the open. Some of them were hurt, but not fatally, and a number were able to limp or crawl away from the scorching heat and out of harm's way. It was a more terrible predicament for those on the third and fourth floors. The frenzied and screaming inmates crowded the windows, hesitating on the brink. The blind glare of the flames, then almost enveloping the doomed structure, and lighting the grounds and the neighborhood, showed them the distance they must leap. It was between 40 and 50 feet that yawmed between those in (To Fourth page.) ```markdown ``` NO.34 LOCAL MENTION Read our Pythian "Ad" on second page. A hero is a man who died long time ago.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS MENACED. | From recent decision of Supt. )Carrisgton of the Missouri Pub: {lic Schools one would very readi- lly conclude that Missouri is te | have a two standards of patriot- lism. A Miss Evans, a teacher in ‘a Wellston school, refused to 'mectinan Institute there held forthe mutual instruction and ‘welfare of the teachers of the Welston jurisdiction, becanse a ‘Negro teacher sat in the same room to receive the same bene- tits. Now, the question is, was not the Negro teacher laboring tor the same laudabe cause as Miss Evans-namely, the implant- ‘ing into the minds of youny Ame - ican citizens the seeks of noble manhood and womanhood? If such was the aim of both teach- ers or itmay be said, the Board ‘their employer certainly must have thought them tobe of this mind, clse they would not have ‘heenemployed. How could the State Supt. avow that.one teacher ‘could so willfully step beyond the ‘mandates of the local Board of |ducation and at the same time _torce them to pay her for her dis- obedience? And too, this spirit of disobedience was prompted by amost un-american and non-pa- \triotic motive —a motive prompted ‘by the bitter prejudice ot the carly forties. Then, to, the good Supt. and Educator says to serve usa precedent to sustain kis ac- tions, “when I became a member of the Hoard of Regents of Lin- coln Institutel took the position that there should be no white ‘teachers there, ‘This, was, as 1 \believein the interest of Negro Edu: ation and against sociai in- ‘termingling of the races.” Well ‘any race man would rather that men of bis particular race should predominate over these school etc, vet no patriot willszy that no other race should be permitted toassist, if they having the thoro- ‘ness of equipment to do the work, For, he who is no broader than his creed is a bigot; he who is no broader than his party, is a par. tisan; he, whois no broader than his race, is non-patriotic, hence we conclude that Miss Evans and the State Superintendent both ae non-patriotic because they both draw the line on a true amer- ican doctrines-the offering of the best educational advantages to our youth.
