Have as much confidence in your own race as you have in any other. 2. Unite in general interests for the welfare of the race. 3. Save a little out of every dollar which comes in your possession. 4. Establish many more business enterprises and maintain them at any sacrifice. 5. Accumulate property wherever you can. 6. Value character more than any amount of money. 7. Teach the young Negro that to labor is honorable. 8. Do what you say, and never promise to do anything beyond your ability. 9. Stop paying three or four prices for things on time, simply to make a show. 10. Be men of principle in politics and sell out to no one. 11. Stop going to court with every little petty thing. 12. Talk less and do more. 13. Abolish useless gossiping and instead thereof prepare for some useful pursuit in life. 14. Show our young people how much the race suffers by the abuse of privileges. 15. Let our young men be too manly to look up to women to support them. 16. Let our young women be too womanly to look up to men to support them unless they are their husbands or fathers. —Emancipator Remember you can read the SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSERVATOR for 52 weeks or one year for only one dollar.

In this, they are justified. No convention is held in the city or county, when the German, Irish, Union Labor or other elements are not given some consideration. Hence, we feel that since party success and harmonious action is attained by conceding to other elements, we should be given some consideration also. This spring we ask that a Negro be appointed as School Director on the Sedalia Board of Education. We have the men, who in traits of character, stand the piers of any of the citizens of Sedalia in morality, intelligence and Republican fidelity. We ask it as men would ask other men, because the Republican party is composed of men — fearless in the advocacy of their recipral rights. We, also, ask this of our party not as an inferior would seek favors of a superior but as men on equal footing, because the Republican party recognizes all men as being equal. Now, as to what action the local organization may take, we dare not predict. Yet, we would say that the party may act as it sees best to act as men, granting unto us the same privilege reserved for themselves. —CITIZEN. ANYTHING FOR THE PENNIES. Consistency, thy name is not the Post-Dispatch. When on one page that newspaper prints a tirade against persons who "play the races" and on another gives information and advice to those who do engage in this form of gambling what is the dear public to believe? With an upliftment of hands truly saintlike the Post-Dispatch last week discoursed at length upon the violations of the law by "hand-book" makers. Presto, turn the page, and you read that Tootsie Winks or some other nag was a "good bet" at New Orleans; that it was reasonably safe to put up your cash for place on Tallow Candle and that Evergreen should "run in the money." When the Post-Dispatch publishes these tips and pointers, and its editors know that betting on horses is illegal in St. Louis, do they not become particeps criminals? NEGRO SOME FACTS A Citizen Discusses Disaffection Of Negros From The G. O, P TELLS WHAT BROUGHT IT ABOUT. Very likely some of the old time politicians of Sedalia will consider this article a piece of youthful pertness. This however, will not remove the sanity of the position taken by the writer, who is ever ready to do any manly act that tends towards the elevation of the race (his race.) It is useless to state how closely the Negro voters of Pettis County and Sedalia, in particular are allied to our local interests-public and private. For any student of our local conditions is very cognizant of the fact that all our local questions are settled very largely by the way a large minority of the vote goes. Local politics-county and municipal, Sedalia, are controlled by the Democrats and Republicans. The Democratic element is composed almost exclusively of Caucasians while the Republican element has a strong factor of voters of the African descent. So numerous is this element that, in order that the Republicans may secure some of the prizes in the county and city it is very necessary that they should hold a very great majority of these Negro voters in line. This they have succeeded in doing until recent years, when, in our local contests there has been a very perceptable disaffection from the Grand Old Party. Certain causes have brought about this condition of affairs. Among the many, we feel at liberty to mention a few. First a small element are reduced by monetary consideration to yeild their ballotts tothe use of others. This is no more than a very large element of white voters do here and elsewhere-St. Louis, Kansas City, Greater New York and kindred other places. Second; many being led by a feeling of gratitude due their benefactors, allow themselves to be influenced, by their benefactors, in the use of their Suffrage rights. In this, they are justified, because if there is one trait of Negro character predominant, it is the attribute of gratitude to his friends. This may be proven by the undying and unfaltering allegiance he has given to the Republican party during the past more than a quarter of a century. So, if a Negro knows he has been substantially benefitted by a Democrat he has a perfect right as a free man to yeild to him his political and moral support, when he is confident that the yeilding of such support to such a friendly Democrat in a local canvass, does not in anyway aid the formation of legislation that may affect his personal rights etc. The Negro too, is beginning to learn that all his local friends are not all Republicans and he is also learning that all Republicans are not Negro lovers. Third, the more progressive and refined Negroes have learned how greatly the local Republican organization is bene fitted by the Negro vote and The man who tells you how to rob a bank and encourages you in the deed is just as guilty as the man who uses the jimmy and the nitro-glycerine. So isn't the person who eggs you on to be on to bet on a horse race and coaxes you to invest in a "tieket" as guilty as the bookmaker who takes your money? But that phrase used a moment ago is not correct. Consistency, they name IS the Post-Dispatch, ever consistent in grabbing the pennies which go to make up the Almighty Dollar. Page one draws the coppers from the holier-than-thou and those others who are in trouble. Page six or seven entices the cents from the sport. Perhaps after all this is but a lesson in the new Pulitzer school of journalism. Cater to all the mackerel, the wittol, the tout and also the godly—so long as they have pennies. Valley Wkly. DIRECTOR. Was What Bishop Arnett Had to Pay for a Sleeper in the South. Train Crew Refused to Haul Sleeper With Negro Preachers in it. Last week the Bishop's Council of the A. M. E. Church met in Mobile, Alabama, and a taste of the bitter race prejudice in that section was a prominent feature of the occasion. When Bishop Arnett reached Cincinnati on his way South he decided to make the journey in a Pullman sleeper. The company refused to let him ride in a sleeper where other passengers were to ride. The Bishop was informed that he being a Negro could not get into a sleeper unless he took and paid for a whole car. Being shut up this or to ride through the South in a Jim Crow car the Bishop chose the former and paid $80.00 for his car. When the council had adjourned the bishops and ministers present agreed among themselves to throw in to charter a sleeper, this they did and moved all their traps to the sleeper which stood on the side-track of the road. The hour for retiring having arrived before the train that was to pull out the sleeper out from Mobile the men all went in and went to bed. When the train arrived and the crew learned that "Niggers" were in this particular sleeper they refused to haul it out and the agent confessed his inability to force the crew to do it. Thus a class of the most gentlymenly Negroes in the country was heartlessly and cruelly discriminated against on account of their color in the very land where we are daily told live the Negro's best white friends. The Morrell bill, now pending in Congress will put a stop to this kind of work, and will wipe out the Jim Crow car law. Congressman Hull is in, favor of this bill, and this is another reason why every Negro who loves his race in Des Moines should vote for him. Judge Prouty has not said as to where he stands. There is now a bill before the House of Representatives designed to prevent discrimination on railroad cars on account of race color or previous condition of servitude, and it is the duty of every colored man with a spark of race pride to see to it that this bill becomes a law. The bill was introduced by Hon. Edward Morrell of Pennsylvania, Nov. 1, 1903 and is now in the hands of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. If this matter is agitated there is no reason why this bill should not become a law. The thing to do right now, however, is to beseige the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce with letters and requests asking it to call up the bill. The following is the personnel of the Committee and the members can be addressed EIGHTY DOLLARS CRUEL PREJUDICE MORRELL BILL. House of Representatives, Washington D. C.

A few more years of retrenchment a we will be able to operate canal boats on some of our streets. Which is the better retrenchment and muddy impassable streets, or to expend some money and have navigable thorofares? ```markdown ``` Lurit it be understood that the Conservator, in its contention for a Negro school director, has no special Negro to push to the front, but will stand loyal to any Negro possessing those elements of character essential to the performance of the duties of the school director-ship. ```markdown ``` Every thoughtful Negro should note the work, being prosecuted by the National Negro suffrage league. In its endeavor to rouse public sentiment against Southern disfranchisement and race proscription, it has called to its aid some of the most cultured and talented Negroes of the land. Let no community of Negroes be so thoughtless as to allow the opportunity of expressing their sentiments in appropriate terms, to the Republican Party and the country at large thru delegates sent to the National Negro,e Sufferage Convention, to be held in Chicago, Ill., beginning June, 20th. In asking the Republicans of Sedalia Mo., to place a Negro upon the Sedalia Board of Education, we think, is nothing amiss. There is certainly no grounds Sedalia Weekly Conservator. for any one to allege that this request is unseasonable o unjust. Neither need it be said that such is hasty or far fetched. The Negro element of the Republican local organization merits this consideration at the hands of the Grand Old Party. The party has it within its power to grant this request, and courage should not be wanting on the part of any Negro, to make the request in a manly american way. No man should take it to be any thing personal to himself, when the race earnestly requests recogni of the party. All positions of honor or trust worthy of the consideration of honest citizens, invariably have many aspirants for such honors. Hence, should any man consider it a personal affront, if another man equally as well qualified should seek the same honors he would so much desire? Therefore, the conservator, in urging the selection of a Negro as School Director for Sedalia Township, does so with "malice toward none" but to secure just and reciprocal recognition of the Republican party for services rendered to her in the past. Is the request too great? Some may think so but what greater service could the party ask of us than that already granted, namely, the free and untrammelled use of our ballot for more than a generation. We grant that the party has been generous toward us in the past but not greater than our loyalty has been to it. We have bowed to its bequests without a murmur upon more than one occasion. We, now, feel that we are about of age and have the right to exercise our God given privilege of thinking and acting the part of men. Would the greet Republican party have us do other wise? No. The party, that has given us Lincoln, Garffeld, (Fred) Douglas, Grant, Mc Kinley, Hanna, Roosevelt etc. who have been the champions of free thought and manly aspiration, would not have us become so puerile and weak. We raise the standard for the election of a Negro School Director; if, after contending in a manly strife, we are beaten, we shall say as did others, "we have been defeated but not conquered." REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING. THE Republicans of Pettis County met as per call in mass convention, at the Court House, Saturday morning, at 10:30. Henry Meuske, was nominated and elected chairman and H. D. Dow secy. On motion the chair appointed a committee of seven to select 13 delegates to State Convention and 13 delegates to Congressional Convention. After adopting strong resolutions favoring the nomination of the Hon. J. H. Bothwell, for Governor, the convention was ably addressed on the Issues of the Day, by Hon. Louis Hoffman, Hon. P. D. Hastain and Rept. John Homer Bothwell. All the speakers emphasized the necessity of redeeming the State from Democratic misrule. Dr. C. S. Walden and Hon. H. G. Phillips were selected as delegates to attend the State Convention at Kansas City. Mo. and A. H. Hickman and Dan Jones were selected as delegates to attend the Congressional Convention. One conspicious thing about the meeting was the attendance "Old line Democrats," who were frequently greeted. ```markdown ``` NATIONAL NEGRO SUFFRAGE LEAGUE CONVENTION. Second Meeting.

How ambitious he is. His dreams of domestic bliss and a happy firside are now realized. How pretty to see the young woman tanding at the alter, giving herself away, leaving home, parents, all for the man she has selected to make her life happy. Young man, be true to that sacred vow you made at God's holy alter, where you promised to take that dear one's happiness in your ke ping. Be true to that holy trust God has given you. Beware of slight differences, petty quarrels. They are small things in themselves, are soon healed over, but the scar remains, never to be effaced. The young always dream of happiness. 'Tis but a dream, as we older ones have proven. But dream on, young man, dream on. --- If Not, Why Not? Do you not know that the Knights of Pythias is the strongest and most progressive order of the age? The four departments of the order are as follows: SUBORDINATE LODGE In this the members are united to care for and protect each other in health as well as in sickness and distress. UNIFORM RANK In this department our young men are receiving a military education which they can get in no other way, thus making them better and more useful citizens. In this the wives, mothers, widows, daughters and sisters of Knights are united for the common purpose of life. In this department we are paying out annually thousands of dollars to the widows and heirs of deceased Knights. If you have no Lodge in your locality, confer with the District Deputy Grand Chancellor of your District, or write A. W. Lloyd, 2629 Lucas Ave., St. Louis, Mo., for terms upon which to organize a Knights of Pythias Lodge. LADIES COURT In this the wives, mother and sisters of Knights are mon purpose of life. ENDOWMENT. In this department we are thousands of dollars to the deceased Knights. If you have no Lodge infer with the Dist. Chancellor of your A. W. Lloyd, 26 Louis, Mo., for to organize a Knight young woman. Take the sweet while you may, for the bitter will be sure to follow. It will be hard to bear the trouble, but be brave and bear the burden. Depend on Him who will always help you. Now, have your wild dreams been realized? Are you perfectly happy? Is there no void in your heart? No longing for you know not what? Have you not met with losses and asked why you are so tortured? Husbands lose their wives, wives their husbands, parents their pure, sweet innocent babes, whom they love better than themselves. They have always been honest, upright and true. You must learn to lean on some thing more than earthly happiness. When the evening of your life advances, you will find all your loved ones gone, you are left alone. But you should not feel lonely. All those sorrows and losses try to teach you to trust in God and pray that you may meet the loved ones again in heaven, where you will never meet again. Think of that glorious seat, after all your trials and temptations. Pray that you may be forgiven and received in that heavenly land.—Ex. A BARGAIN.

Mrs. Lucy West was born in Virginia in 1850. She died Feb. 20, 1604. Deceased was 54 years of age. She lived in St. Louis, Mo., until after Geoorge R. Smith College was built. She then came to Sedalia, that her daughter, Ellie V. might complete her education. About seven years ago, she was installed in the George R. Smith College, as supervisor of the culinary department, and held that position for five years. Here she endeared herself to the young men and women-students-and members of the Faculty. She was looked to by all, as a child would look to its mother for her cares. She was more than liked, she was loved. Since she left the College, she has been employed as domestic in the family of Mr. Cloney, on West Broadway. And that she was well liked by them is evidenced by their care for her while she was ill, and by their presence at the funeral. Mrs. West took id of pneumonia one week from the day on which she died. She leaves one daughter, three sisters and a legion of friends to mourn her death. That she was loved by the students and Faculty of Geo. R. Smith College will be seen in the following: Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Ruler of the universe in his wisdom and mercy, to remove from our midst one Mrs. Lucy West. Whereas, The friendly relation long held by our deceased friend with the Faculty and students of Geo. R. Smith College reader it proper that we should place on record our appreciation of her anquaintance and friendship, therefore be it: Resolved. By the Faculty and Students of Geo. R. Smith College that, while we bow in submission to the will of the Almighty, we mourn the loss of our friend who has been called from her labor to rest. Resolved. That in the death of Mrs. Lucy West the church loses one of its loyal members, the community an upright citizen and Resolve. That the Faculty and Students of G. R. Smith College, with feelings of deepest regret and sadness, do hereby tender their heartfelt sympathy to our Alumnus Effie V. West daughter of the deceased, in this her sad hour of bereavement.

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, tertiary pay is allowed for all work done, but employment will not be required to choose who should do their work satisfactorily. Most students even in this way pay 2,000 a month, some earn larger amounts. Applicants do not work should be made to the President in advance of coming. A large number of students find employment in hotels in the city, sufficient to meet expences of board and union. The end for young ladies for those positions is always greater than the supply.
