Negro paper is One that's small and great; And one that reaches all round In city, town and state. The name is one of interest. The reading is much greater. I'll tell the name, you read the rest, Its name is Conservator. One that's read by all kinds of folks; By citizen and by tramp. One that reaches all latitudes; Though warm, cold or damp. A blind man once said to his dog; Pup! I'm a buscuit beggar: But if my eyes were good like yours, I'd read the Conservator. A lady once got very sick; Sent for the Doctor later, And his prescription simply said, Just read the Conservator. Once three poor tramps came strolling along; They saw a piece of paper, Ha! Ha! said Bill to my surprise It's that there Conservator. If you would help build up our race, Then, be an Educator. Read all the papers of the day; Nor slight the Conservator. For, 'tis the paper you should read. To justify good reason. It is not old, but popular And the best one of the season. Ere bed time comes and other boys, Are sparking May and Ada. Take my advice, sit down at home, And spark the Conservator. Fred Douglass was a noble man; He would have been much greater, Had he lived in this conserage, And read our marvelous vator. —C. H. Warrick. Lincoln' Epigrams. 1. Let none falter who thinks he is right. 3. There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law. 4.

Gold is good in its place; but living, brave and patriotic men are better than gold. --Ex. --- SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12 1904. FOR SCHOOL bringing this nation from its weak position. The Negro should be pleased with the progress he has made in American History, for whether they be praised or not whether attempts will be made to erase it, they will remain and shall be forever recorded in the pages of History. Happenings of a week, month or year may be blotted out but when they have made the impression the Negro's History has made in America it will not be blotted out but will remain as a secret in the hearts of men. The fundamental principle of the race is that of progress. To speculate upon its operation is not difficult. The heavens teem with innumerable worlds that have developed through countless ages from a chaos of Nebulous Atoms. Our own planet, we behold an unceasing activity, mountains crumbl and waste, streams spring forth, and vegetation covers the earth. The massive oak develops from the simple acorn, the beautiful flower from the tiny germ of life contained in the seed. Within all numberless forms of which the earth teems is a primal force, an inner principle that unfolds each according to its own laws of development. But not alone in the life of an individual or race do we find the development. Geology reveals how the primal energy of life has envolved all the higher classes of life, man himself from the lowest organic matter. In every realm of nature, whether it be in the development of the plant or in the creation of a race we see the fundamental element, this divine energy, the creative force of God. NEGRO The Negro In American History. The history of a nation is the record of the people which compose that nation, whether they have been the foremost or made it possible for others to go forward, they should be respi ced and given praise for what they have accomplished. The Negro in america history almost begun when American History begun. He has always played his part in great crises and was the first to fall for the cause of American Independence for it was the Independence from this mother country that has caused the American Republic to rise among the great powers in the world's history and yet the Negro was the first to give his life for the cause. In all the wars he has shown great bravery and has played his part as well as any other race of men. He has achieved greatness when it seemed impossible, he has carried redoubts when other men have given them up, he has stormed forts when he could almost see death, as it was looking him in the face yet with the inspiration that knows no fear and with an iron will, the only thought that came to him was "I'll try," so in every occasion he has not only shown his heroic deeds, but has shown courage and manly training which makes any race great. "But peace has her victories as well as war." Not only has he played his part in history during wars, but other times he has played, as great, if not greater and it has been by his skill and development that this country has raised from one of the smallest powers in the world to one of the highest. By birth, rearing, education and successive generation, which are quite as effective as character, as the inherent qualities of race, the freeman or emancipated slaves and their descendent of this country are in matter nationality americans. And if borned and reared in America amidst abundant evidences of their thrift and energy, contributing to the enrich of others and to the vast aggregate of the nation's wealth, what reason is there they should not die and their posterity continue in America? Not only is America indebted to him but all the world, for from nowhere else are such exports of cotton made as from the Southern states of this country. Deport the Negro and the cotton industry will be paralyzed, for it is said that the fitness of the cotton fibers is as much the product of the Negro's genius as the nature of the soil and climate. The Negro served for three-quarters of a century as a base of representation when a slave, he certainly is qualified now to participate in representation as a citizen. He was active as a force in regulating the most important feature of the government, for nearly a century and in view of this fact he should have a home indifinitely under this government. The Negro has not only been a main factor in war and industry but has contributed much in poetry, music, oratory and machinery and nearly all things that have been instrumental in SCHOOL The bright sun of to-morrow will rise upon a world united in the bonds of christain brotherhood. The bright rays of the gospel truth will have pierced the deepest gloom of the African jungles, while its general warmth will pass through the frozen fields of Liberia, fusing the hearts of mankind together in the warmth of christian love. Strife and envy will cease, joy and truth will reign supreme. "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid and the lion shall eat straw like the ox." —J. W. Cooper. Stories Of Lincoln. In reading the life of Abraham Lincoln, one cannot but see how well his whole nature was suited to make him a leader of men. If there is, or has been such a thing as a man raised up by the Divine Will, for a specific purpose, indeed it can be claimed for Lincoln. There were many things about him which would have made him a leader-I mean, any one of the many things. The first in point of time, which became visible, and so much so, even a casual observer could not fail to notice it, was his story telling. This was a gift of nature which never deserted him, and served to both illustrate his arguments, and to make him popular. In the campaign of 1848, he made a speech in Fanuel Hall, Boston, and after a long argument, setting forth and depend- ing his views, he finally summed them up, and declared his platform was like the Irish peddler's pantaloons, large enough for any man, and small enough for any boy. While a boy, he would entertain his fellow friends with stories and wit. When he was about 14 years of age, while living in Indiana it is related that there was an old settler, who like some old men, having the best of everything in the neighborhood, said his horse could outrun any horse in the country, and furthermore could run ten miles at full speed, without drawing a long breath. Lincoln listened to the end of the story, then quietly asked the old man how many short breaths would he draw. This natural gift of story telling was greatly augmented by his reading Aesop's Fables. After Lincoln moved to Illinois he found this gift in great demand. Here he told stories to the delight of the populace, and made himself very famous. It is said that, after the day's work was done, the men and boys of New Salem would meet upon a certain log, and there listen to the jokes Lincoln would tell. These were so funny that men would be sure to be convulsed with laughter, and would roll off the log. This long afterwards, was known as Lincoln's Log, have been made sleek by the rolling and tumbling of the men. When finally Lincoln began the practice of law, he still had use for his wit, jokes and stories. He and Judge Logan had been engaged by two farmers as their attorneys, the farmers having fallen out over a horse trade. Judge Logan had bought on the day before, a shirt, open behind. Sleeping late, and dressing hurriedly, he had put the bosom on behind. He wore, on the day of the trial, a high standing collar, and a linen coat, buttoned all the way up, but, getting warm, he unbuttoned the coat, and made his speech, dwelling long upon the merits of different horses, thoroughbred, and otherwise. Lincoln arose, and said, "Now gentlemen, Mr Logan has used his horse book quite a bit, trying to show you that he knows more about horses than the old farmers who have been dealing in horses all their lives. Then reaching over, and catching Judge Logan by the collar, he turned him around to the jury and said, 'And yet he hasn't got sense enough to wear a shirt, and I herewith rest my case.'" It is said that in those days, the liceure time would be taken up by the lawyers in telling jokes, and Lincoln was always the lion of the occasion. Judge David Davis who then presided over the circuit in which Lincoln practiced, loved Lincoln for his amiable ways, and when court was not in session, he was not satisfied unless this friend was near him. Whenever Lincoln began talking, he would ask all others to hear him. Even when court was in session, unless Lincoln was at his work, he would be telling stories. Upon one occasion when Judge Davis was holding court, Lincoln told the clerk of the court a story so irresistibly funny, that the clerk laughed outright. Judge Davis DIRECTOR. told the offending story teller to shut up, and fined the clerk $5.00 for laughing. In a few minutes, when a lull came in the proceedings, he asked the clerk what was the joke Lincoln had told. On hearing it related, Judge Davis laughed, and bade him erase the fine. Lincoln would never tell a story as if he were the author, but would relate it as if he had heard it; yet, from the application of the same, it seems as though he were the author of a great many of them. While in Congress, he had a fondness for bowling. He was not an expert player, but loved the game for the exercise. After leaving Congress, he was retained by a farmer who had been sued by his neighbor, for alleged damage done the neighbor's crop by the farmer's hogs. When the trial came, and the evidence was in, Lincoln saw that it was against the farmer, who should have to pay. He made no speech in defense of his client, but told a tale about a pig going through a fence whic was so crooked, that when he did get through, he still found himself upon the same side of the fence. The jury thought that this had in some way, some connection with the case, and to Lincoln's surprise, returned a verdict in favor of the farmer. The lawyer became vexed. and on being met the next morning by Lincoln, who asked him where was his case, he replied, "It has gone to Hades." Well then, said Mr. Lincoln, "You will see it again." In the Whig Convention at Chicago, in 1860, when Lincoln received so much honor and admiration, it is said that there was an old time Democrat who did not like it at all. But at some time during the Convention, he found himself in company with the man whom he so little respected, and in an awkward way, he said, "So you are Abraham Lincoln." To which Lincoln replied, "This is what God made for him." To this the Democrat replied, "Well, I want to say, he made a poor job of it." So from his boyhood to the end of his life, this genial trait was with him, on the farm, or at the store, splitting rails, or pleading law, canvassing the state or in the halls of Congress, at his fireside, or in the president's mansion; to his melan-holy face was linked a mirthful nature. All the world is not pessimistic; neither is it optimistic. It seems that Lincoln was the man of all the people, mirthful and jovial most of the time, but demure and deeply serious when occasion demanded it. Th story of his horse trade clearly illustrates his keen appreciation of a joke. He had traded horses with a man, sight unseen, and they were to bring both horses to a certain public place to judge. His friend came, bringing a poor old horse, which he could not ride, because of its weakness. The loungers laughed, thinking that Lincoln was beaten, but in a few minutes, the latter put in his appearance, with a saw-horse, or wood-jack upon his shoulder, which he put down, and, on looking at the animals leaning up against the man, NO. 41.

This, certainly must be the status of officers in many sections of our Southland, where they are endearing to eliminate the Negro. February 12th, we hail thy dawn with festive joy, because thou gavest to us that great champion of human freedom Abernam Lincoln-patient, witty, sad and sympathetic. To the american Negro, he will ever be considered a Demi-God. To the american people in general he will ever stand out in bold relief as one their noblest sons. All Christendom claims a share in his great saintly character. May the present century afford another such as he. --- Poor Kentucky! We pity thy fate. Having already engrossed within her historic chapters, the Goebel "reign of terror" and the constant re-occurrences of feuds, ducks and gory spectacle, now appears in a new "roll"-assailing Negro's hope and aspiration. By legislative enactment she purposes to stop Berea College a school that has stood for the higher education of the Negro with the whites, now admitting Negroas as students with white students. What next? Will some cauterized state legislature pass a statutory specification, designating the manner of air a man of color may breathe? Let another decree by Constitutional Amendment, the amount of Sun and Moon shine he is to enjoy, if any. Then send a special embassy of duly authorized plenipotentiaries (of course they have the prerogative) to have to direct, the Great I am, to set aside a certain dark corner for his redeemed ones, in color. A second Jnuta of equally dignified notables might be hastened to Hades, by Sedalia Weekly Conservator. a short route, to order his satanic majesty, to reserve the forest places for his coming dusky charges. Since presumption is thir game, let them carry it to its (as they seem to maintain) limitless limitation. But wouldn't it be funny, if the Great Judge of all should consign those unsympathetic vultures to the fate, they would have others enter? Let these two fact be written upon their retentive memories, viz: The mills of the gods grind slowly but surely, and that Hamon was buoyed upon the scaffold constructed at his request, to execute another, whom he hoped to conquer by intrigue and hate. The Sedalia Board of Education In advocating the appointment of a Negro on the Local Board of Education, we would not have any one construe the same to be a "race issue" as some would fear or strive to believe. Not a question of race but of untrammeled citizenship; a question, of reciprocal appreciation is what we would have you know. This, and this alone is the real issue. The community can not truthfully say that we the Negro, have been devolved of our duty, whenever the public good demanded our services. Again, we would have the community know that we are cognizant of the fact that in a measure we contribute of our earthly substances, in the form of taxes, to maintenance of the varied public interests. And, it may be further stated that we are more concerned about the educational condition of our children, than all else because our future destiny most obviously rest upon children. If they be improperly trained or left entirely devoid of training, ours will be aptiable consummation. But, if we by taking the proper steps in looking after their training, shall be able to afford to them the true education that God would have all men give unto their and his children, will may hopefully anticipate a most propitious, future. The foregoing sentiments suggest this question, namely, who is best adapted to looking after the educational interests of the Negro? A Negro, to be sure. Because by training, instinct, culture and natural tendencies he is nearer to the Negro than any other. We are keenly conversant with the necessity of gaurding our educational interests with jealous intensity. Therefore, we see the necessity of us having an intelligent representative upon the various Boards whenever energy, and perseverance will land them. To those who have started this laudable movement we say, push on allow nothing to affright you. Remember you are pioneers—the pioneer's lot is always perilous but his bequests to his heirs are always of the purest and noblest gifts of the ages. STATE CORN SHOW NEXT WEEK.

He addressed a large audience, Monday night, on education and the elevation of the Negro race. His discourse was worthy of attention. He out lined to the people the advantage of education. There never was a great man who had no education very few ignorant people among the ancient and less among modern nations ever acquired lasting fame or had their names handed down to posterity in the pages of history. Moses, one of the world's greatest men of ancient times, was taught by the Egyptians. The most learned people a, that time, and with his geographical knowledge of the country, he was chosen by the all-wise Creator to lead His chosen children of Israel out of the land of bondage and through the red sea of trouble. He also give the Negro good leaders to bring them at last to the light of liberty and the joy of freedom. Closing Quarter Clinton, Mo.

Poor Management Closed Bank New York, Feb. 10.—The Equitable national bank, was closed Wednesday by direction of the comptroller of the currency. The failure of this bank is due to bad loans and injudicious management. It had practically no business with banks outside of New Sedalia Weekly Conversano President nominated $\textcircled{1}$ Be the sole choice of the republican Leading Republicans whom democrats organs have neglected to be opposed to the renomination of President Reagan have consistently concluded that it is time to expose the lie, and they are doing so, since the San Francisco chronicle. Within the republican party at Washington as well as elsewhere there is not only no "opposition" to the president, nor even "in ewarmness," but there is actual enthusiasm for his renomination. It is freely stated not only that there is no "beter man" in sight, but that there could not well be any better man either as candidate or president. No other republican is seeing the nomination and nobody has ever pretended that any other could get it if he did seek it. All that the democrats have ever pretended to assert was that there was "dizatination" with the president, which, while not strong enough to prevent his nomination, might, as was intimated, induce a few disgruntled republicans to vote the democratic ticket. There is nothing in this. There never was anything in it. There are elements which are opposed to the execution of salutary laws which are very strongly opposed to President Roosevelt because he enforces law as he finds it. Some of these men doubtless call themselves republicans. As a matter of fact they are political fishmasters who will vote for the man whom they then least likely to interfere with evildoers. Some of these will very likely vote for the democratic candidate in preference to President Roosevelt. If the democratic press lobbies to bring about the accession of these malodorous recruits it is welcome to do so and to the "strength" which they can add to the democratic cause. Honest republicans and honest men are for preside. Roosevelt, who executes the law whatever the consequences and who is not afraid of anybody. The man who would rather be right than be president is most likely to be right and president both when the people know him as they know President Roosevelt. Aside from the personal character of our fearless president, influential republicans recognize, that it would be both foolish and dangerous to change presidents at this particular juncture. The United States is adjusting itself to the new international relations into which it entered as the result of the events of 1898. In the Carribean and in the far east there are policies half worked out with whose threads and bearings the president is familiar as no other man can be. Until five or six years ago we were living on our continent in comparative isolation, concerned only with our domestic policies. Now our interests and responsibilities have suddenly expanded until we find them imbbling on those of other powerful nations in ways wholly unfamiliar to our experience and traditions. The masterly handling of these delicate questions by the president and preceding administrations has excited the admiration and secured the respect and esteem of the civilized world. The president is needed to finish the work. DRIFT OF OPINION. Col. Bryan is not booming any particular democrat for the presidential nomination. He seems to be a sort of trustee for all the candidates.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The plutocrats against whom Mr. Bryan is now leveling his biggest oratorical guns are "the men who did not vote for me in 1806 and 1900." What other defeated presidential candidate ever exhibited his sore head in this manner and what other repudiated leader ever undertook to make loyalty to himself a test of party, membership.—Chicago Chronicle (Dem.). "If it were true that the democrats needed a missionary to inspire their hearts and minds with higher ideals, to lure them from idolatry of "the money devil," would Mr. Bryan be the logical candidate for that mission? If Mr. Bryan, since the hour of his defeat in 1896, has not been a hustling hunter for dollars and cents, we now of no man who has thus been employed. And his success has been very considerable.—Washington Post (Ind.). It had been supposed by many people that Mr. Bryan's travels might have broadened his mind and lessened to some extent his prejudices and perverted opinions on public affairs. Such anticipations were proved too sanguine by his recent address on his return to Nebraska. The older he grows the more stubborn the democratic presidential candidate in 1896 and 1900 becomes in hugging his delusions.—N. Y. Tribune. What we most of all require is a modicum of common sense, less oratory and more git-up-and-gift! If Mr. Bryan could realize that he is neither a conjurer, nor a conscience-keeper—that others besides himself have opinions entitled to respect—that other hearts than his beat for the lowly and the poor—he might recover from the disease of Bryanlis—self-love, self-confidence, self-aggrandissement—whichresses him—Louisville, Comber DUPE OF D MOORATS mother Manifestation of the Trivitality of the Bursting Bryan Intellect. "I was put in nomination twice by my party," said W. J. Bryan at Burlington, N. J., "only because it was known that there was no chance for my election." This is a most remarkable utterance, It is a public confession by Mr. Bryan that in both his presidential campaigns he was a dupe—that from the beginning by his own party he was betrayed and befooled, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. There is some reason to believe that with reference to his nomination in 1900 Mr. Bryan's opinion is partially correct There doubtless were democratic leaders then who saw no way of ridding their party of the incubus of Bryanism save by letting Mr. Bryan run again and be defeated. But there is not one scintilla of evidence that any such conspiracy as Mr. Bryan charges existed in 1890—not even in the form of passive acquiescence in Mr. Bryan's aspirations, desirious as they were seen to be, who saw the Chicago convention of 1896—saw the wrathful, prayerful, and even tearful energy with which many democrata there strove to withstand the Bryanite frenzy—can entertain such an idea for a moment. Nor was this energy displayed by the conservative democrats alone. Scores of men in that convention were as radical for free silver as Mr. Bryan. Yet they regarded the stampede to Mr. Bryan as a treacherous desertion of Mr. Bland. All through the hours between Mr. Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech and the actual nomination these men argued and pleaded, with tears in their eyes and until they could hardly stand or speak, with delegates not to desert, "Old Silver Dick"—the man who had worked all his life for silver and deserved the reward of that issue's triumph in his party. During his European tour Mr. Bryan is said to have been fully converted to the theory of Tolstol, that any man who serves his fellow men under present conditions must be a martyr. This possessive theory may account for Mr. Bryan's description of himself as a dupe. However that may be, Mr. Bryan's mentality has long been known to be trivial. His presentation of himself as a martyr or dupe is probably, in the light of the facts of 1896, only another instance of his customary mental pettiness. WILL NOT TOUCH TARIFF. Reformers Have Poor Prospect of Securing Revision of the Existing Schedule. Tariff reformers in congress are disconcerted over the legislative plans of the leaders. The western members who favor a revision of the customs duties to meet changed conditions were encouraged by the general understanding which prevailed that after the presidential campaign something would be done to revise certain objectionable schedules. They are awakening to the fact that the growing demands upon the public treasury will, before this congress has adjourned, reach such proportions as nearly to equal the surplus, if not actually cause a deficit, says a Washington special to the Chicago Record-Herald. While these republican members are not opposed to a service pension bill and the Panama canal project, they are beginning to realize the appropriations carried by the first measure, which will amount to $30,000,000 annually, and the enormous outlay involved in the completion of the isthmian waterway, taken in addition to the regular appropriations, will bring the total expenditures to unusual proportions. Next session, or the session following, a river and harbor and a public building bill will come in to further swell the demands upon the public treasury. No one knows better than they that it will be extremely difficult if not impossible to make much headway in congress with a tariff revision crusade, unless a surplus is piling up in the treasury. The republican leaders will not sanction a reduction of the revenues as long as the expenditures threaten to create a deficit. Although they have not abandoned hope, these western republicans appreciate that conditions are against them, and are doing a great deal of talking among themselves to discover the remedy. Senator Tillman announces that in his opinion it is practically useless to look for democratic electoral votes in Pennsylvania. Such profound sagacity and close study of the situation as is evinced by this discovery may be taken as evidence that the democratic party is indeed recovering a measure of its sanity.—Indianapolis Journal. Bryan somewhat confidentially announces that he got one new idea while abroad, and that he will make use of it in due time. Slimeare friends will tell him that if he has one new idea from our source whatever the quicker he gets the better. The one QUINN'S BAR -104 E.

If Mr. Bryan has his way the democratic convention at St. Louis will send across the city and get its platform ready-made from the collection of musty historical documents within the exposition grounds.—Providence Journal. The attempt of the democratic managers to escape the Hearst boom by locating the convention at St. Louis will not be altogether successful, as he has decided to start a paper there. There are two things in the way of the success of his paper boom; he can never be nominated, and if nominated would be overwhelmingly defeated.—Indianapolis Journal. If the signs of the times are to be depended upon, William J. Bryan and the principle for which he stands will be repudiated by the democratic national convention of this year. It seems clear that the democrats are not inclined to permit a man who has twice led them to defeat to dictate what they shall do this year. The revolt against Bryanism is certain to spread between now and July, when the convention meets. If the Nebraskan has the power to check it he will prove that he is a greater man than people generally credit him with being—Cleveland Leader. Kidnapped and Then Deserted Bride. Coweta, I.

Rev, Lawrence Dennis, the boy preacher, was a Sedalia visitor Wednesday and Thursday, preaching at Geo, R, Smith Col- lege Wednesday night and at the Opera house Thursday night, to good houses, That the boy was a wonder to us, is true, but from a curious view point, for it was only a sample of what other boys can do, if trained to doit, It is astonishing, tho, to see how many supposed to be enlightened peo- ple grasped the idea so readily, that this youngster is inspired, divinely, and called into this work so young in years, without any knowledge of the work, other than what is taught him by more matured minds, Before Jesus Christ wrought his first miracle, at the wedding feast at Caper nium, when called upon concern- ing: the shortage of wine, he said, ’My time is not yet come;” By hie we see him undergoing a careful preparation, and he was very nigh thirty years of age. Now if it took him from the age ‘of twelve years to his thirtieth year to get ready for the work - ‘and then prove to the world that ‘one must know the feeling of in- spiration, and must feel the re- spoisibility of being called to preach, it is self evident that a child at the age of three years cannot possibl. feel or know the feeling of divine inspiration, nor can it feel the responsibility of being called at the age of six years All who will take the task of tmd- ing it ovt will say to usthat a child's mind is almost blank at the age of three years, wad wiil further say that a child just en- ters a condition to be trained at the age of six. ‘The Sedalia Capital impressed its readers that the colored citt- zens of Sedalia looked upon this baby as one would look upon the real Christ if He were again on earth, The statement if made to fit the less enlightened of both races, would be alright, but to fit the Negro as a whole with sucha statement is notal, ight, for there is an enlightened, element of Negroes in Sedalia, that if our white brothers would lay aside prejudice just long enough te mingle with and counsel with themm—-sound them--they will find to their surprise that all Ne. groes are not ‘Niggers,” nor all “Niggers" Negroes.
